[Comprehensive] The queen becomes a pair

For Qian Yun, Xing Ping Chuangzhen just fits the eye.

Children have perseverance, and they also have some whimsical ideas in cooking. More importantly, Chuangzhen has never regarded cooking as a show off, and never underestimated what he did. Even in cooking, he really There is no inherent talent, but he takes it seriously, and never gives up when encountering difficulties and failures.

After all, Qianyun couldn't help it with such a disposition, and would subconsciously guide Xingping Chuangzhen.

Qian Yun thought for a moment, raised her hand and rubbed Xingping's hair: "How is it? Go take your temperature."

"Oh!" Chuangzhen was very energetic, watching him looking for the thermometer, while not forgetting to tear off the antipyretic patch on his head and throw it away, it should be fine.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Xingping, are you still planning to keep this child in the dining room?" After Xingping Chuangzhen left the restaurant, Qianyun tapped the table with his fingers, making Joichiro's eyes focus on her: "Let him Under your protection all the time, you dote on the child unexpectedly."

"Haha, I implement the free-range policy." Xinghei Joichiro laughed loudly, "And it's a bit early for the current Soma. For a place like Totsuki, let's wait a year or two before we talk about it."

Where do you not spoil your children.Is there any father who will take the trouble to compete with his child in cooking competitions since he was in elementary school?Even allowing him to enter the kitchen to become a chef of cooking dishes and participate in the development of new dishes in restaurants?But from another point of view, you can do whatever you want, which is indeed a manifestation of the stocking policy.

Speaking of which, Chuangzhen happens to be in the second year of middle school, and if he enters Yuanyue two years later, he will be in the same grade as Qianyun's current students.

"It's too early... Maybe it is. Although Yuanyue is said to be an elite education that can tap the potential of students to the greatest extent, not all students with potential can adapt to this kind of education. If there is no companion around , Maybe it will destroy a good seedling."

Qianyun thought of the girl who was in a hurry in her class, and Koichiro Koheijo seemed to have something on her mind because of her words, so he didn't answer.After Chuangzhen took the thermometer and handed it to Qianyun, the tranquility that should not belong to the restaurant was finally broken.

"It looks like it's all right." Shiroichiro took a glance, then felt relieved, and turned to Qianyun, "It won't taste good if it's cold."

"Food?" Xing Ping Chuangzhen suddenly saw the dish in front of Qianyun, and became nervous: "Sister Qianyun, how does this dish taste?"

"I'm getting ready to eat."

The dishes that Yukihira Joichiro served for Qian Yun happened to be made of eggs, chicken, and rice that Qian Yun had also used in class a few days ago.However, although this portion is also composed of eggs and chicken, there are only eggs but no chicken, and it is not a rice bowl, but an egg bibimbap.

"Well, but this dish will taste better if you wait a little longer to eat it."

As Kohei Joichiro said, Qianyun also put the first bite into his mouth.

The deliciousness of the thick chicken is conveyed to all of Qianyun's senses that are used to experience the taste in an instant.

"The slightly moist sauce on the rice is still slightly sticky, covering every grain of rice and eggs. This delicious essence is definitely not something that can be achieved simply by boiling chicken into soup." Qian Yun looked carefully again, but if it wasn't soup, what else could it be?

"It's aspic!"

Xing Ping Chuangzhen suddenly gave the answer: "After cutting the jelly into small pieces, it will quickly turn into sauce at the temperature of the rice, and the delicious ingredients will also be improved!"

aspic?

Qian Yun tasted it carefully again: "It turns out that the broth rich in gelatin can become solid after cooling, and it will still maintain a slightly viscous taste, but it is impossible to add any starch used to thicken it. The taste has been achieved. Not only the rice, but also the eggs fried into small pieces are also very suitable for this meat jelly. The sauce after the eggs are melted by the meat jelly is moist, and every bite can feel the taste of the chicken from the inside out. tasty."

"Hey, is that right, is it so delicious?"

"Of course!" Qian Yun's eyes widened slightly: "Among all the dishes cooked with eggs, this is a dish that is enough for countless people to scramble to taste it!"

"Hey, Qianyun, let me tell you, even if you realize that this dish is the kid's idea, don't praise him so much, okay?" Xing Pingcheng Ichiro said helplessly to Qianyun: "There is also Soma , When I praised you, I didn't see you happy like this stupid look."

Xing Ping Chuangzhen immediately said angrily: "Dad, your original words are 'Although it is enough to put on the recipe, you are still 200 years behind me'! How can I be happy if this is the case?!"

"For you who are half-baked in the kitchen, isn't this kind of evaluation just right?"

"Where is it?!"

It is indeed not a very happy evaluation, and it is hard to say whether this can be regarded as a compliment.

"Speaking of which, Chuangzhen has been competing with Mr. Joichiro's cooking, so he must have no sense." Qianyun suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and while the father and son were talking, she had already eaten the last bit of food in the bowl, "Yes Have you ever thought about finding some people of the same age who can cook? There are also many cooking schools in Japan for teenagers to learn cooking."

"Huh?" Xing Ping Chuangzhen lacked interest: "It's the kind where an old man stands on the podium and tells the students that we are going to make a very simple dish today, and then everyone happily cooks a very simple dish together. School? It’s impossible for someone in that kind of place to be able to compete with me. Besides, if you enter the school at that grade, you won’t even receive guests. Although I’m fine in the cooking competition, there’s absolutely no way I can lose For someone like that."

The father and son really have the same pride.

Qian Yun sighed in his heart, but smiled mysteriously on his face: "That's not necessarily the case. Even if you have never stepped into a professional kitchen, there are many very powerful chefs who are as old as Chuangzhen."

However, after arousing Chuangzhen's curiosity, Qianyun refused to say anything more, and patted Chuangzhen on the shoulder after paying the bill: "Mr. Joichiro is from a cooking school. If you are curious, you can ask him." .”

Afterwards, regardless of the sudden widening of his eyes, Joichiro Kohei, who was destined to be entangled by his own son, waved his hand and walked away while there were not many people in the store.

"Dad, did Dad ever study in some cooking school!? How old were you?! How was that school?!"

"Wait—Qianyun, you just sold me out like this!? Qianyun, you are clearly still a teacher at that school—"

But no matter what, Qianyun has already gone away, and it is no longer possible to take his attention away from himself.Koichiro Kohei, who had seen how persistent his son was, turned slightly black. Will he be able to live a stable life in the future?

"How about Chuangzhen, let's have a cooking competition, if I win, you are not allowed to ask questions like me..."

"Do you want to live a stable life like the old man?"

"What is an old man?!"

"You are the kind of person who wants to hide even his son!"

No matter how many disturbances the Xingping family's father and son will have in their supposedly peaceful life because of this incident, Qianyun can't control them for the time being.

After returning to Nakiri's house, she made the dishes in class today. On the second day, that classmate Tiansuo Hui, who was very nervous, still had her own courses in her schedule.

"Before cooking today, I need you to learn how to handle fish. You should have just been exposed to a few practical courses on handling fish, so this class requires you to form a group of two." Qian Yun said, looking around Looking around, that Tian Suohui stood with another girl, looking much more relaxed than last time.

Is it a friend you know?Although she couldn't remember the name of the girl next to Tian Suohui, she had a little influence on that face, and she once got an A in her own class.

"The fish you are going to deal with today does not require too many processes. Just remove the scales, internal organs, fins, and gills of the fish. Be careful that there will be sharp bones on the gills, so be careful. If you are dealing with fish meat If you are not proficient, you can use scissors. Dang, if you are really unsure, you can still come to me, let's start first."

As soon as Qian Yun's voice fell, the students in groups of two immediately started their own actions. Although they all have a wealth of theoretical knowledge, they have also handled raw fish several times.But getting familiar with any ingredients will not be done with just a few days of practice.They need to work hard for a longer period of time to do these basic skills better.

Qian Yun soon discovered that he could not wait for the students to come to him to ask questions like he did a few times before.

The fish to be used in this cooking is a live fish that is half the size of an adult's arm. It has just been fished out of the water, but it still flicks its tail vigorously. Let it jump to the ground, and then spread to other groups.

A fish just slapped its tail, and the fish bounced up. The student holding a kitchen knife and scraping the scales was stunned. Qian Yun raised his arm, and pressed the fish back to its original position.

"If you are not used to scraping the scales with a kitchen knife, you should try the scale scraping knife. Before the technology is mature, you must learn to use the tool flexibly." Qian Yun asked a student to hold the fish head and took the student's kitchen knife , Gently stroke the fish from top to bottom, and the neat fish scales are separated from the fish immediately, as if the soft tofu has been cut.

"Use a kitchen knife to scrape the scales. Pay attention to the strength and angle. It should not be too strong, otherwise it will easily hurt the fish itself. It should not be too light, otherwise the scales will not hang off. The main thing is to do it in one go after finding the feel, but now you have a lot of The ingredients are only half-knowledgeable, and it takes a lot of practice to master the strength and method of handling the ingredients. So don’t worry about failure, there are a lot of fish, just take your time.”

Qian Yun seemed to be giving pointers to two students, but in fact she was telling all the students who came to class.

But what surprised Qianyun was that Tian Suohui's fish handling skills were obviously a little higher than other students.Obviously, only experienced people can do it, and being with her friends by her side made her feel much more relaxed.No, it's not that Tian Suohui is proficient in handling fish, and the other girl is not stingy with her.

Although there are still some accidents, their group has completed the work of scraping the scales, viscera, gills and fins of the whole fish at a very fast speed.

"Okay, everyone has done a good job. Next is cooking time. As usual, the recipes are all written on the blackboard. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime. Then, let's start cooking!"

Because it takes a lot of time to process fresh fish, the fish dishes Qian Yun chooses are also very simple.As long as the fish is processed, sprinkle some seasoning to remove the smell of fish and soil, and then steam it in a steamer.

The final scoring result is much better than before, but after cooking into a dish, whether the fish is handled properly can be distinguished by the taste of the fish.This is a fish with a strong earthy smell. If the processing is not done well, then even if the cooking method is not the slightest mistake, the taste will be greatly reduced.

For Tian Suohui's group, Qian Yun gave an unreserved rating of A.

"From the taste, you can feel that the fish meat is very well processed. The simpler the cooking, the higher the requirements for the pre-processing of the ingredients, because the success or failure of the whole dish will determine the step before cooking. Like sashimi, Cuisine like sushi that doesn't have too many ingredients at all is more demanding on the handling of ingredients, and there are very few people who can achieve mastery in this aspect... Tian Suohui, do you want to consider focusing on Japanese cuisine? I think you're very talented at that."

Qian Yun did not make this opinion on a whim.

Although he is a very introverted and nervous child, his craftsmanship will not lie.The details of her handling of the ingredients all reveal that this child has a very slender but strong heart, and in time, he will definitely grow into a great chef.

But just like spider silk, no matter how strong it is, there will be a limit.Once this limit is exceeded, it will collapse immediately.

"Hey?" Tian Suohui was a little at a loss, but the friends around him had already widened their eyes happily: "Really?! I said, Xiaohui is very good at first, but she gets nervous easily! Teacher Qianyun Said that you can become a master of Japanese cuisine!"

Qian Yun glanced at the report card, it was Yoshino Yuki.

"I am not a master of Japanese cuisine. There is a very slender feeling in the dishes cooked by Tian Suohui, maybe because I am a slender and sensitive person... Japanese cuisine is mainly reflected in the slenderness. She is just very delicate. It is suitable for Japanese cuisine. Of course, it does not mean that Tiansuohui will be stereotyped like this from now on, and you can learn other cuisines if you want to.”

Qian Yun explained: "What does Tian Suohui think?"

"That...I..."

"Of course, it's not for you to decide now on the cooking path you'll take in the future. You still have a lot of time to think and practice. Of course, it's not a bad thing to think about it now." Qian Yun put the report card away After: "Let's do it like this today, thank you all students."

After Qianyun left the classroom, Yoshino Yuki was very excited. She pulled Tian Suohui: "Xiaohui, Teacher Qianyun has a very high opinion of you. Didn't you help in the kitchen of the store in your hometown? Why don't you just start?" It’s good to go the way of Japanese cuisine! In this way, Xiaohui can also have a lot of opportunities to ask Teacher Qianyun for advice!”

"En...thank you Yuuhime, but I... still want to think about it. Although my family has been running a Japanese-style hotel, and the food has always been Japanese-style, but I...haha, really, I can handle it clearly. I'm doing my best with my studies now, so I probably don't have more time to find the cooking direction I want to study."

"Huh? Really, Xiaohui, it's obviously a very good opportunity." Yoshino Yuuhime pouted, walking in front of Tian Suohui with her hands behind her head, then turned her head suddenly, with a smile on her face: "But Xiaohui did it." Ryoko and I will support whatever choice we make, come on!"

"Ok, I will!"

The two walked farther and farther, and Qianyun also sighed. It is not because of his nervous personality, but also some indecision, and the failure caused by nervousness has caused him to be extremely unconfident in himself. This school will also have such As for the children, after a few days of observation, she thought that most of them were very confident.

It was just like Alice who was about to eat halberds with someone on the second day after she came to school.

How could there be a food halberd suddenly?

There is not so much information on the flash report for the time being, and if she wants to know more, she can only go to the food halberd site to see it.

Shiji is not in a very luxurious place, but everything looks a little different because of the arrival of Nakiri Erina.Although the place is not very big, the crowd is already full.This is the effect of eating halberds between the strong and the strong, just like Erina, every time eating halberds will be arranged in the place with the widest venue and the most luxurious facilities.

"The request on the food halberd, if Alice Nakiri wins, all the rights of the Molecular Gastronomy Research Institute will be transferred to Alice Nakiri. If Alice fails, all the instruments in Alice's hands will belong to Molecular Gastronomy Research Institute, the conditions are met, and all inspectors are present, please start eating halberds."

Qianyun stood at the entrance. Molecular gastronomy is a cooking method that requires the use of various high-tech instruments to realize one's own whimsy about cooking. It is not that simple to change the structure of ingredients, and those expensive The instrument blocks the way of many, many people.

But Alice should not lack these instruments, that is to say, was the food halberd proposed by the other party?The target is the instrument in Alice's hand?

Alice has never completely demonstrated her specialty in molecular gastronomy before. The school's menus are all decided early, and it is temporarily not Alice's turn to cook at Nakiri's home.Maybe Alice will also study molecular gastronomy in private, and cook some molecular gastronomy dishes, but she has never seen the preface.

This time, let her take a good look.

The dishes cooked with various technologies have an absolutely new taste.As a new cooking method, there is no standard for judging whether it is delicious or not. Everything depends on whether the tongue and taste buds are satisfied.Two dishes that seemed a bit confusing were brought to the inspector's table. Unlike the previous dishes that were full of 'food' feelings, molecular cuisine opened a huge gap from ordinary dishes in terms of appearance. difference.

Some dishes are cooked, and they will be as beautiful as works of art, which makes people unbearable to start, but after all, they will not break away from the category of food.Whether it is the texture of the food itself, or the strong smell that tantalizes the appetite.But molecular cuisine is not like this. After heavy cooking, these ingredients not only do not emit any smell, but also seem to be completely out of the category of food.

At first glance, no one would think of it as an edible dish.

Of course, this is only because the eyes have seen too many dishes, and the accumulated experience subconsciously makes people make wrong judgments.But when putting this weird dish in the mouth for the first bite, the tongue that judges food only by taste will give the most correct judgment.

"good to eat--"

"What is this? It melts on the tongue in an instant, and it's as cold as ice cream!"

"It looks like foam but has a creamy texture..."

The tongue does not deceive.

Or there may be some personal preference factors interfering in it, but the tongue can indeed tell whether it is delicious or not in an instant.

The final result was that Nakiri Alice won the victory with a unanimous vote.

"Qianyun." Just when everyone was focusing on the food halberd, Erina came to Qianyun's side through an unknown passage, and grabbed the corner of her clothes: "Want to go up with me to see it? "

"No?" Qian Yun held Erina's hands instead: "The food halberd is over, let's leave first."

Erina let Qianyun hold her hand, and the two quietly left the venue.

The Togetsu Academy, which occupies the entire hilltop, is frighteningly large, and Qianyun deliberately avoided the avenue, and took Erina to a quiet alley instead.

"Erina, what kind of school do you think Yuanyue is?" Qianyun suddenly asked Erina.

"Yuanyue? It's Japan, no, even if it is a top elite school in the world, many famous chefs have been educated here, and many chefs who are active around the world today are from Yuanyue."

Erina answered without hesitation, in her mind, this was a question that did not require thinking.

"Indeed... But Erina, after I became a teacher here, I suddenly discovered a somewhat bad problem." Qian Yun stopped, and she began to think about this problem the moment she became a teacher for the first time. .

"Yuanyue's students seem to agree with the status of 'genius' very much, and feel that there is absolutely no possibility for gifted people to compare with ordinary people."

"They, like you, feel that failure is an unforgivable thing."

Qian Yun comforted Erina, the little girl wanted to explain something, but Qian Yun suppressed all of them: "Of course, I don't mean that failure is a good thing, there is no need to be ashamed, no need to be unwilling, such a failure is indeed nothing Meaningless—but when they start to fear failure itself, how are they going to know their own shortcomings and how can they improve?"

Qianyun thought of Xingping Chuangzhen. He should still be competing with his father in the cooking competition. Although he tried his best every time, he never won.Now they have competed hundreds of times, but Chuangzhen never once wanted to give up.

He didn't look at the huge difference in experience between his father and himself due to time, he didn't look at his father's superb cooking skills, and he didn't even pay attention to those hundreds of failures. The skills and knowledge are all turned into enthusiasm and put into a dish.

Maybe Mr. Shiroichiro didn't want his son to enter Yuanyue prematurely, because he was afraid that in such a fierce competitive environment as Yuanyue, Soma would lose his initial love for cooking.

"I saw a girl in class who seemed to have come here from a small place. She is very nervous. Once nervous, it is easy to cause mistakes in the cooking process. However, that girl has a solid foundation than most of the students, and Sensitive and slender to cooking.”

"But the other students look down on her because she has failed too many times."

Erina didn't speak anymore.

Such an easily nervous mind is a bad thing for Yuanyue, because Yuanyue pursues an absolute elite education, with a graduation rate of less than 10%, and there is still a competition among the top ten. In such an environment, the first to be eliminated, It is a person with a weak heart.

But if such a person is carefully polished, will he also emit a dazzling brilliance no less than the ten outstanding?

"Erina, do you want to join me in initiating reforms on Yuanyue?"

The cherry blossoms in April were blooming vigorously, as if the incumbent Qianyun was shocked by what the incumbent Qianyun said, the originally calm sky was suddenly blown by a large white cloud by the wind, blocking the sunlight and making the two of them feel at ease.The petals of the cherry blossoms were also blown off by the gust of wind, lingering around the two of them.

"I can't stay in this world for a long time. I still don't understand many things in the food era, not to mention that it seems like a disaster is about to happen. However, I want to leave something in Erina's world."

Her good Erina is a person from two worlds.

Maybe one day, she died unexpectedly, and these stories from other worlds can only become stories.

"Erina seems to like this academy very much, so do you want to join me to make the academy better? It may take a long time, or even a little change in a lifetime, is Erina willing to be with me? I come with you?"

Erina laughed.

The strong wind blew away the clouds that blocked the sun, and a large piece of warm sunlight fell through the gaps between the leaves and flowers into spots on the ground, but it illuminated Erina.

"Why don't you want to?" She was like a queen who was asked by her subjects if she was willing to make friends with the enemy country.In order to end the war and bring the people who suffered from the war back to a happy and peaceful life, the queen put aside her deep hatred with the enemy country and sacrificed herself for others.

"Since Qianyun said that this academy has flaws, then I will work with Qianyun to change it! Let Yuanyue Tea House Cooking Academy become a huge culinary castle that can only be admired in the eyes of outsiders. Such a good thing, why should I Do you want to refuse?"

Hearing Erina's answer, Qianyun also smiled, jumped with long legs, and hugged Erina tightly in his arms.

The little girl is too cute.

"Don't worry." Qian Yun also said with a firm tone: "Yuanyue is a very good chef school, but no school is without flaws. Since you and I are here, we will try our best to improve it. it!"

As for why it should be perfected by a teacher who took office not long ago and is sure to leave after one year, and a second-year junior high school student, the reason is too simple.

Qianyun and Erina have the ability to make Yuanyue better.

Although it is said that Yuanyue will be changed, it is by no means something that will produce results overnight.

What change does Yuanyue need, how to change it, which one of the existing system is unnecessary, which one needs to be strengthened, which one is missing, and whether the operation model needs to be changed? This not only requires a lot of investigation, but also requires People with relatively professional knowledge came to help Qianyun and Erina with advice.

Blind recklessness is like making a mistake in cooking, but you have to bite the bullet and continue to complete this dish. Don't think about it, the result is that the dish that was originally salvageable becomes a dish that can no longer be eaten bad stuff.

Qian Yun can give some support, after all, Dad also runs a large-scale restaurant.She still has some understanding of how it works.But it was only part of it. The operating rules of the two worlds could not be the same, and the many requirements of the law must be fields that I had never understood.

So at this time, it is so important to find foreign aid.

Qianyun and Erina set their sights on Totsuki's commander in chief, Nakiri Senzaemon.

"Ah-"

Commander-in-Chief Nakiri, who was concentrating on writing calligraphy, suddenly crooked to the top corner of the paper because of a sneeze.

But it's not a good time to talk about it now.

Qianyun and Erina still need to know more about this school, including the thoughts of many students.

Besides, they are all just from the elementary department now, and the key to Yuanyue is still in the advanced department.It's too late if you just want the cake to enter the higher department and then do this.

Now they happen to have a lot of preparations that can be made.

The students of the Totsuki High School suddenly discovered, seemingly unknowingly, that the recognized chief of the Totsuki High School, Nakiri Erina, had undergone a considerable change.

First of all, she began to be willing to accept other people's food halberds, and even went to fight for food halberds.Of course, the number of times is not very high, and the accepted challenger is also a well-known and capable student in the elementary department.However, it was not a good thing for Nakiri Erina to use the halberd tactic.

This means that a certain person, or a certain group made her feel unhappy.

"The research of past dynasties?" After a certain meal was over, Erina had already called and asked the construction party who had already prepared to demolish a certain club activity place in Yuanchu Higher Department. She said that she would build her own material kitchen .Erina smiled sarcastically when she was stopped by the history and research left by many predecessors in the building.

"You also said that that is already history."

Her words made everyone present shudder.

"Do you need to mention Yuanyue's glorious history to me?" She asked the senior in front of her, saying word by word: "It's been a long time since you guys have produced any achievements to prove the value of this society. There is no way to survive in Yuanyue relying on history, after all, what Yuanyue lacks most is a glorious past."

She suddenly raised her voice: "Don't forget, Yuanyue's students grasp the present, no matter what admirable past the seniors of your club left behind, it is not your achievements in Yuanyue! Since you and you If you have nothing to do with the individual, you must have the idea of ​​being replaced! The achievements of the predecessors are worthy of respect, but if you want to use these achievements to increase funds for the association, you must have achievements that you can show yourself!"

Qian Yun, who was sitting in the auditorium, began to applaud at the right time.

Although the method is a bit drastic, but... just right.

In this highly competitive school, the first thing they need to change is the mode of competition.

A powerful association will always suppress some new associations. Although there are also associations with self-contained development channels in the past few months, as long as they show results and have enough strength, there is a possibility of development and growth.

However, the funds allocated to all associations are fixed every year. If there are more, there will naturally be less.

The moment a new society is established, it will become a competitor of all societies, in other words, an enemy.

First of all, those large associations that occupy a lot of resources but have not made any amazing achievements for a long time began to deal with them.Of course, it doesn't mean that they drop out of school or never be able to form clubs again, but start from scratch, step by step, and catch up with the footsteps of their predecessors.

"However, not everyone can have the consciousness of starting over."

After eating the halberd, Qianyun was beside Erina, handing her a tissue to wipe off her sweat.

"It doesn't matter." Erina replied lightly: "If you don't have one, don't do it. No one will force them. But..." She paused, and then raised an imperceptible smile: "They are the chefs in Yuanyue, If I hadn't been self-motivated, I wouldn't have come to Yuanyue from the very beginning."

This is true.

Even Tian Suohui, even though the tension and uneasiness surrounded her all the time, her own persistence was stronger than anyone else's. It was too easy to say not to give up.When you are parked in front of a high mountain that is difficult to see, who will not have the intention to retreat?

Some people retreated, some people chose to go up the mountain, some people retreated on the way up the mountain, some people had to retreat due to accidents, and finally, some people finally reached the top of the mountain.

Yuanyue is that mountain, how many people can climb successfully with luck, strength, and will at the same time, just look at the annual graduation rate of less than [-]%.
