Food: I, Liu Maoxing, can’t be low-key at all - Chapter 72
“”Okay! It’s almost your turn to serve the dishes.” Dojima Gin looked at Liu Maoxing and the other two.
“”Yes.” Liu Maoxing and Xingping carried the dishes.
Xiaohui was holding the dishes and started shaking again.
“Gone, Tansho?” Yukihira was stunned for a moment.
“I didn’t expect that asking people to evaluate the dishes that I made with all my effort would be so scary!! What kind of evaluation would they give? What if they say it’s not delicious? Liu Maoxingjun and Soma-kun helped a lot! Woowawawawa……”A silly girl is daydreaming again
“Don’t think about it, just serve the food. No problem, serve it.” Both hands pushed Xiaohui’s lower back.
“Click……”
Xiao Hui tremblingly placed the dishes on the table in front of the graduates:”Please, please, please… please enjoy!!”
“Hmm? This is… French jelly.” Wutongtian said as he looked at the dish.
“This is the dish that Senior Shinomiya judged to be unqualified!” Hinata said
“This is a rainbow French jelly made with seven kinds of vegetables.”Xiao Hui said
“Hey… really interesting – this is a criticism of my Recette – French frozen nine kinds of vegetables, are you complaining?” said Shigong
“No… that… I… I just… I just want you to see… my Rec267ette……”Xiao Hui was in a panic
“Xingping, is this considered bullying to gain confidence?”Liu Maoxing said
“Yeah. That’s a bit of a deal.” Yukihira nodded.
“……”
Sigong was very fierce and aggressive.
Of course, Liu Maoxing and Xingping, two two-faced people, didn’t care at all.
“Hmm. Using seven different colors of meat paste… to make rainbow-like strips?” Chef Guan Shou said, picking up his knife and fork,”Then… let’s try their craftsmanship.”
“Well……”
Xiaohui was so nervous that she could only think of the past times when she was given an E in school, failed, and was laughed at.
“”Hmm!” The three judges swallowed the food in one gulp and stared at the dishes in front of them in amazement.
Liu Maoxing looked at the reactions of the three and raised his mouth slightly.
The three looked at each other, nodded, and took another bite without saying anything.
“”Mmm!!! Delicious!!!” the three of them shouted together
“！！”Xiaohui was stunned
“……”
Shigong’s expression changed a little, and he thought,”The reaction after tasting it is even greater than my dish! Did I capsize in the gutter? Impossible, impossible!”
“Potatoes, red grapes, wax gourd and other vegetables were mixed into the meat paste to create seven different colors. Each vegetable was cooked to bring out its own flavor. It was amazing to be able to complete such a large amount of work in such a short time!!” said Chef Guan Shou.
“There are two kinds of sauces. Sweet and sour sour orange jelly… and a refreshing herb green sauce made from a paste of crushed herbs, including shiso. Oh… it’s an interesting idea to use sour orange and shiso to pair with French jelly!” Wutongtian said
“Hmm! The fragrant fried winter melon and the green grass sauce… this combination is so refreshing and wonderful!!”Hinatako exclaimed
“The more you chew tomatoes, the sweeter they become, and they go really well with sour oranges.”Chef Mizuhara said
“I see! The combination of seven layers of meat paste and two kinds of sauces… you can enjoy fourteen flavors. It really makes people want to try more combinations.”Wu Tongtian said
“Hmm. I didn’t expect that this colorful dish is not only pleasing to the eye, but also tastes great!!” said Chef Guan Shou
“Hmm, these small tomatoes…are they sun-dried tomatoes?” said Dojima Gin.
“Yes… Yes. In my hometown, it often snows in winter. In order to eat vegetables in winter, we will dry a lot of vegetables in the sun in summer. When I was helping my mother dry vegetables, my mother (caea)……I was taught to use the oven to dry vegetables.
Cut the cherry tomatoes, sprinkle with rock salt, and slowly dry them at 120 degrees.
This will increase the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes and make them very delicious. I added it to add a little color to my French jelly.……”
Dojima Gin nodded:”Yes. Tomatoes contain glutamic acid, a umami substance. After drying, the umami taste will be concentrated, making the taste even better.”
“Shinomiya’s nine-vegetable French jelly is designed to let people taste the freshness of fresh vegetables. In this dish, the deliciousness of stored food is brewed through practice. Both dishes are called vegetable French jelly, but the approach to exploring vegetables is completely different, from the fresh taste to the mature taste!!”Dojima Gin continued
“It’s like a taste that can penetrate into people’s hearts… Xiaohui’s tenderness seems to be radiating from the cooking.……”Hinata said. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“Ah… If Shinomiya-senpai is the magician of vegetable dishes, then Hui is the one who brings the blessings of nature to people… the Krupo-Krupo of vegetable dishes!”
“No! You are wrong! Xiaohui is the vegetable zashiki-warashi who brings me happiness!!”Hinako clenched her fist and argued
“Or… the snow boy who brought us vegetables from the frozen land.” The chef said, folding his hands.
“It’s not winter now, your analogy is not appropriate at all.”Hinatako said
“Then it should be Krupo Krupo.” Wutongtian interrupted.
“No, it should be Zashiki-warashi!”
……
“By the way, why are all your metaphors about monsters?”Chef Mizuhara complained.
“To sum it up, she is a charming little fairy.”Liu Maoxing said to Yukihira
“Yes. That’s right.”Xingping nodded.
“It was like a dream. I always failed and lost confidence… I was the last in the school… The dishes I cooked were praised by the graduates who always appeared in picture books and magazines as… delicious. They even quarreled for me.……”Xiaohui was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
She looked at Liu Maoxing and Xingping who were smiling at her and smiled happily.
“Good! Then, let’s start judging! We’ll use this coin instead of a ballot. Each of the three judges has a coin. There is a plate in front of each of the three people, Shinomiya and Tansho. Please put your ballot in the plate in front of them. Which side do you think tastes better?”Dojima Gin said.
