Food Wars: Taste Buds Reversal

007. French Red Wine Beef Stew [Three Updates]

Following Erina to the cooking room, Shiraki once again sighed at the level of tycoon status in Totsuki Academy.

Such a large Japanese-style building, the supporting facilities inside are also very complete. Shiraki had just glimpsed the hot spring in the corridor. The kitchen in front of him with all kinds of equipment is also very impressive in a sense. It is also clear that Erina herself transformed the empty room into this, after all, she is the only one living here.

"You have 17 minutes left."

After bringing Shiraki to the kitchen, Erina leaned against the wall and began to observe Shiraki. She had originally planned to make tea but had forgotten about it. This time, she seemed to be observing every detail of Shiraki's cooking carefully, without any contempt.

However, it turned out that she was overthinking. Shiraki came to the cooking table and communicated with the system through consciousness, projecting the contents of the B-level recipe French red wine beef stew that he had just obtained into his consciousness.

【Ingredients: Beef shank, flour, garlic, shallot, onion, potato, carrot, mushroom, butter, broth, red wine……】

Bai Mu carefully checked the recipe in his mind, but the more he read, the tighter his brows frowned. The flour and garlic in the front were easy to understand, but what part of the beef shank was it, what was the difference between shallots and onions, these things that should have been common sense in cooking made Bai Mu feel troubled.

As a person whose only life skill was to order instant noodles, who had not been in the kitchen for more than ten years, and who even rarely went to the supermarket to buy fresh vegetables, distinguishing these things for Bai Mu was like asking a blind man to complete an 800-meter long-distance race alone.

However, the most deceptive thing about the system's recipes was that it was really just a recipe.

As long as the above contents were strictly followed, anyone could make a B-level dish, but the most basic requirement was that the cook must first follow the basic law.

Bai Mu was obviously one of those people who would not follow the basic law. He glanced at a few lines below the recipe and had a basic impression of how to make this dish, so he began to process the ingredients based on his intuition.

First, the beef was cut into pieces. Shiraki first used a kitchen knife to randomly pick up a piece of beef. He didn't know which part of the cow it was, or even whether it was beef. He was embarrassed to find that the toughness of the meat was very good. He couldn't even cut it with a casual knife. So he increased the strength in his hand, squeezing the hard-to-cut meat while waving the kitchen knife in his hand.

While he was struggling to process the beef, Erina Nakiri was carefully observing Shiraki's movements. It was the movements of a complete layman. This time, he even pressed the beef flat. Logically, the taste of the beef processed in this way would definitely be affected, but because this operation was done by Shiraki, Erina didn't dare to jump to conclusions for a while.

Could it be... there are other techniques that I don't know?

Time passed slowly. When processing the onion, Shiraki obviously felt a little uncomfortable in his eyes. He gave up the idea of slowly chopping it up and directly used crazy knife skills. He smashed the whole onion into pieces within three seconds and poured it directly into the pot.

Erina only gave him 20 minutes.

When there were 7 minutes left in the countdown, Shiraki found that he had not yet finished processing the ingredients, and he had not even cut the carrots.

He would definitely not be able to finish the food in time.

He did not care about the requirements on the recipe and poured all the washed ingredients into the pot.

In fact, 20 minutes was not enough to complete the French red wine beef stew.

It would take more time to stew the beef alone.

However, Shiraki did not know this.

Seeing that the beef was probably not cooked, he suddenly had an idea and filled the oil pan next to him with oil, then threw all the remaining pieces of beef into it and closed the lid before the oil in the pot jumped out.

Suddenly, a crackling sound came from the oil pan. Shiraki turned the heat to the maximum, grabbed the oil pan and shook it a few times, and there was another crackling sound.

Up to this point, this dish has nothing to do with the system's B-level recipes. Erina, who was standing by, was already dumbfounded. She wanted to tell Shiraki that it didn't matter if the time exceeded, because it was impossible to complete French red wine stewed beef in such a short time. But the more she saw, the more she felt that this dish should not be French red wine stewed beef, but the ingredients used in the two happened to be the same.

After boiling the beef in the oil pan for three minutes, Shiraki didn't care whether it was cooked or not. He turned off the fire and waited until there was no sound in the oil pan. Then he took out the beef that was already stuck to the pot and quickly threw it into the stew pot on the other side. There were only three minutes left. Shiraki looked at the radish and mushrooms in the stew pot that were not fully cooked and showed a distressed look.

Suddenly, a wall breaker next to the cooking table caught his attention.

Even though he had never actually used it, Baimu often saw the shop assistants using this thing to mash fruits in the street tea shop, so he probably knew how to operate it. Seeing that the time was about to run out, Baimu turned off the fire without hesitation, poured the whole pot of beef into the wall-breaking machine, and turned on the power.

The noise of mincing meat immediately filled the entire kitchen. After just one minute, a mass of unknown liquid and residue mixed with black, dark green and dark red appeared in the wall-breaking machine. Looking at this unknown liquid that was obviously inedible, Baimu was silent for 5 seconds, and used the skill Eye of Insight given by the system on this mass of liquid.

Original dish (?)

Taste: K-level

Special effect: None

Overall rating: K-level

——————

The result given by the Eye of Insight this time was even more shocking.

It was not even J-level, but directly degraded to K-level.

The name was not French Red Wine Stewed Beef, but directly showed that it was a self-created dish.

In fact, Shiraki himself was a little bit worried.

If he ate this thing, he might really have to be sent to the hospital overnight.

But anyway, it was Erina who asked him to make it.

Shiraki had given up on treatment.

He picked up a ready-made cream decorating stick from the cooking table, poured the black unknown liquid into a U-shaped container, and used the decorating stick to decorate it.

After a well-presented plating, a dish that looked black and white and had a bit of minimalist art style was brought to the table by Shiraki. Although Erina was frightened by Shiraki's cooking method just now, her divine tongue drooped again when she smelled the faint fragrance hidden under the cream.
