Food is full of favorability [Interstellar]

Luo Bai ignored Meganna, and directly took out a sharp sharp-edged knife from the knife holder, lightly rubbed it on the sharpening stick, and then slashed across the blade with a blue flame.

Meganna was caught by the jumping flames reflected in his pupils, biting her lip and giving up the giant lobster on the chopping board for the time being, the sous chef Landa and other help chefs also stopped their hands when they saw that she was not moving. work.For a moment, five pairs of eyes in the palace's back kitchen all focused on the young chef, ready to see what he was capable of.

And Luo Bai did not live up to their expectations.With the knife in hand, he split the lobster in half, and only heard a crisp "click", and the lobster became two pieces.His movements are fast, as if he has practiced it thousands of times before he can do it with ease.

Picking shrimp paste, cutting shrimp feet, breaking shrimp claws, peeling shrimp meat... In less than 10 minutes, Luo Bai completed this series of tedious tasks.Lobster shells are hard, and it takes chefs a long time to carefully peel off the shells on weekdays to get the small ball of crystal clear lobster meat with attractive elastic teeth.Megan and the others started preparations in the back kitchen so early, precisely because they had to peel a lot of lobster meat to make shrimp noodles.

But Luo Bai's actions were beyond all of their expectations.He ignored the shrimp meat in the bowl, but instead cut the shells and dismembered them into smaller parts.

Then, he turned on the crystal heating plate closest to him, poured olive oil into the pot, poured all the shrimp shells and legs that had been cut earlier into the pot, and poured in half a bottle of brandy!

"What are you doing!" Megan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly, almost causing the lighter in Luo Bai's hand to fall into the pot.However, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and successfully ignited the brandy in the pot, watching the dancing flames covering the top of the lobster shell, arousing the aroma of wine and seafood to the fullest.

Meganna was originally dissatisfied with this extremely sudden arrangement, and she felt even more embarrassed seeing Luo Bai start work like this, as if he had entered no one's land.For a chef, the back kitchen is his absolute domain. If someone like Luo Bai who dares to come up and dance on her warning line does not have absolute strength to back him up, Meganna will dare to drive him out when he goes crazy.

Ever since Luo Bai started handling lobsters, she has been holding her breath, and seeing his skillful movements, she endured it.But put dirty things like shrimp brains and shrimp feet directly into the pot?The fuse in her brain was instantly ignited.

"This is a lunch for His Majesty, do you dare to eat anything unclean?"

The sous-chef Landa stopped Megane from stepping forward to dump the pot, and looked at Luo Bai: "Chef Luo, please explain."

"...It's not for eating directly." Luo Bai helplessly poured water into the pot to extinguish the flames, so that the bottom of the soup just covered the shrimp shells, "There is so little meat in the shrimp feet, who would bother to eat them? These They are all used to make the soup base, in order to make the taste of the shrimp more rich."

He was used to directing, and casually looked at a helper standing beside him: "Bring me some tomatoes, thyme and bay leaves, thank you."

I don't know if he was infected by this powerful momentum, but the man went obediently.As the spices were put into the pot, the fragrant seafood aroma diffused more intensely, and the umami taste of amino acids almost occupied everyone's nasal cavity extremely domineeringly.

Luo Bai put two huge shrimp claws on the top layer of the soup and stewed. As time went by, the original strange blue-black color turned into a bright orange-red color, which doubled the appetite.

"Even if it's soup, the bottom of the soup is too dirty, right? There's so much foam, what kind of lobster soup, let's just say it's tomato brain soup." Meganna thought that her sharp question would make Luo Bai lose his balance Unexpectedly, he explained it slowly and clearly. She couldn't find any other faults for a while, and could only find fault with Tang's appearance.

"Don't worry, isn't it being processed?" Luo Bai found a filter, filtered out the pure and clear part of the lobster soup, and took the fresh cream from another chef, and poured it into the blender together.

Megan choked, seeing her kitchen assistants obediently following Luo Bai's instructions, as if the kitchen's disposal rights had been handed over with all their strength without knowing it.Although intellectually she knew that these people were only curious about Luo Bai's cooking methods, and wanted to shorten the cooking time and see what he could make before helping out, but emotionally she still seemed to be betrayed.

The lobster soup that was crushed with light cream was poured into another pot, and the color changed from translucent to light yellow. The aroma of cream and lobster came together, bubbling happily in the pot .

In order to prove himself in a hurry, Luo Bai was doing three jobs at the same time: boiling lobster soup, frying shrimp in butter, and finding a suitable dinner plate.When the butter melted in the pot and gave off a milky fragrance, he swiftly put two pieces of lobster meat and two pieces of shrimp claw meat into the pot and fried them on low heat; Place the finished product.

Pan-fried lobster meat is placed in the center, and the edges are slightly browned and beautiful.The lobster broth was poured slowly along the side of the plate without drowning the lobster meat or knocking the standing shrimp meat over.Sprinkle a little pepper, put a small parsley leaf, and [French Lobster Soup] is complete.

Like asking a question for the first time in Interstellar, Luo Bai looked sideways at the chefs who had gathered beside him unknowingly, and asked friendlyly: "Do you want to try it?"

………………

"I remember he asked me that too, I really miss it." An You stood half a step behind His Majesty Farman and said with emotion.

They were still in the study, they just opened a hidden light screen, watching everything that happened in the back kitchen.Farman has the right to check the monitoring of all public areas in the palace, and it is really easy to check the real-time scene of the back kitchen.

Since Phyllis and Russell left Emperor Star, as a royal housekeeper, An You naturally had no reason to stay in Delano Mansion, and naturally returned to Ke Danlin Palace to continue serving His Majesty.

It can be said that 80.00% of His Majesty Farman's impression of Luo Bai came from An You's dictation. He naturally had a super-level affection for this young man who was "gentle, kind, and very caring for children and small animals". Good impression, when facing the nervous Luo Bai, he also deliberately restrained his coercion, acting like an ordinary old man.

"I really want to eat it sooner." Farman sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, it will be ready soon," An You responded, and by the way: "I may not have seen Mr. Luo Bai for a long time. I wonder if you can allow me to serve you during the lunch?"

Farman nodded and continued to look at a corner of the kitchen on the monitor.Normally, he is not interested in the orderly cooking process of the back kitchen, but today he watched the field battle between the two chefs with great interest, as if he was the host of a cooking competition show, and he was just for the tit-for-tat confrontation between two outstanding chefs And feel very exciting.

However, while they were talking, they watched Megane seem to recognize Luo Bai's culinary skills, and gave up the control of the back kitchen, and then... Luo Bai turned around and turned into a fire-breathing demon king.

"Now, here I am the chef. Whatever I say, you do." "I don't know your original rules. His Majesty let me take charge of lunch, and now I make the rules." "It's too slow! You haven't been expelled now because you have an empty head for wine—"

"..." Farman turned to look at An You: "Is this what you mean by gentleness and kindness?"

Ah this.

An You: "Uh... Legend has it that the chef has two personalities inside and outside the kitchen."

………………

Megan took the spoon, hesitated a few times, looked at the astonished expressions of the others after tasting it, and scooped out the small pieces of shrimp claw meat and soup together, and stuffed them into her mouth.

The soup base made from the lobster is extremely delicious, with a rich aroma of slight spices and rich cream, which made her stunned as soon as she ate it.Because the lobster meat is more tender, and there are only two plates, it is stored in a constant temperature fresh-keeping room.The chefs tasted the one made with shrimp claws.

In fact, the meat of the shrimp claws is not older than the body of the shrimp, and it is also full of elasticity, which is super enjoyable to eat.The meat of the big lobster is perfectly peeled off and bitten down. This kind of satisfaction cannot be compared with shrimp noodles.

Then savor the creamy lobster soup with the tip of the tongue. Megane has never experienced this delicious feeling.For the first time, she felt that the essence of a whole shrimp was concentrated in the soup, and then the umami taste was hung out with spices, which was so delicious.The umami taste of the evaporated milk and the salty taste of the deep-water lobster are perfectly combined. It smells a bit like cheese oatmeal, but after one bite, you can only taste the umami that hits your head.

After swallowing, there is still a delicious taste in the mouth, with endless aftertaste.Megane thought to herself, it turned out that those shrimp shells, which she regarded as filthy and inedible, would have such an amazing taste after being boiled into soup.

"How does it taste?" Luo Bai put down the spoon and looked at her with burning eyes.

Megan came back to her senses, her face gradually flushed red.what does he mean?Not to mention the food is so delicious, relying on my good cooking skills, why do I still want to humiliate her now!

She was anxious and angry for a while, holding back her words, but the tears fell out of her eye sockets, the more she thought about it, the more embarrassing she became, the pupils changed from the original vertical shape to two round ones, crying so hard It's pathetic and funny.

"Hey, what's the matter——" Luo Bai was so dazed by tears that he could only pull out a snow-white silk handkerchief from his jacket pocket, handed it over carefully, and said tentatively, "Don't cry, I really don't have any I mean to be offensive, don’t we chefs always ask diners for feedback... I know that you are all the best chefs in the empire, so you can gather here.”

"I just want to prove myself with the shortest speed. After all, it is almost noon. Only when everyone is convinced of my strength can I carry out my work better... But I also know that I will be more aggressive when I am busy. First, please Forgive me, everyone." Luo Bai simply squatted down with her, and said in a good voice: "Chef Megane, can we work together later? Please——"

Meganna was made speechless and funny by his rambling words, and couldn't bear to be wronged any longer. She grabbed the silk handed over by him, wiped away the teardrops on her face, and said stubbornly: " What do you think of my professional ethics! Of course I will continue to work in the kitchen. Besides, cooking with you can also learn new methods, obviously we made money."

"Then...then I'm not polite." Luo Bai got up, slid his fingertips across the dishes on the menu one by one, looked up and scanned the nameplates on the colleagues in the back kitchen, and began to direct.

"Basso, five St. Jacques scallops, five whiting, four lobsters... four shells, three oysters and one squid, clean and prepare them for later use."

"DuPont, are the plates preheated? Why are you still standing here? You're going to let us do it all. Are you here to be the waiter?"

"...Don't be too nervous. This is the kitchen, not the army. I also want to make the atmosphere as light as possible." Luo Bai touched the tip of his nose and added.

The palace chefs who were directed by him around the kitchen almost collapsed.The atmosphere is brisk?Ever since he said the three words "You're welcome", the entire back kitchen has been shrouded in a violent atmosphere, and everyone is trying their best to adapt to Luo Bai's rhythm.

He works so fast!And those who can't keep up will be shot with venom:

"You made the duck confit like this? If I'm not mistaken, it's too raw, right? I suspect that if you send it to the hospital now, the interns can bring it back to life."

"Are you kidding, what I need is chocolate heated in a water bath, not a pot of mush that looks indescribable."

"This is too much oil! I suspect that the federal government will want to assassinate you after seeing it..."

In this way, with Luo Bai's efforts, apart from Meganna who was holding her breath and crying at the beginning, there were two more assistant cooks who were beaten to the ground and burst into tears. Fire Tyrannosaurus" prestige.

But the good news is that, after a long time of tossing and the chaos in the cooking room, they finally completed the production from the appetizer to the main course, and the production of the dessert was almost finished.

The fluffy brown-black cake was carefully pulled out of the mold, and Luo Bai took a mini grate and spread an even piece of icing on it.

"Quick, put it in the insulation room, and the chocolate lava cake must not cool down."

Landa tentatively asked, "What will happen if we accidentally let it cool?"

Luo Bai: "I will pull you to explode together."
