I am not a trainer

Chapter 125 Xia Miao: Your cooking skills are above mine (two in one)

The blade of the knife lightly slid across the shell of the bamboo shoot, and Luo He peeled off the cover of the bamboo shoot, only to see that the body of the bamboo shoot was plump and tender, as white as jade.

In the common practice of braised bamboo shoots in oil, the bamboo shoots should be blanched first to remove the bitterness.

The practice in the Jiangnan area pays attention to the original taste of bamboo shoots, and puts the bamboo shoots directly into the oil pan.

This method pays attention to the quality of bamboo shoots and tests the chef's control over the heat during the frying process.

Tianlong bamboo shoots taste sweet and crisp, and can be eaten raw like fruit without the slightest bitterness, so there is no need to blanch them to avoid the loss of umami.

Luohe removes the older roots of the bamboo shoots, leaving only the white and crisp shoots, and cracks the bamboo shoots with the back of a knife. This step is to make the bamboo shoots more delicious.

Immediately, Luo He cut the Tianlong bamboo shoots into small pieces and put them aside with chopped green onions for later use.

The raw materials for braised bamboo shoots in oil are ready.

On the other side, the lid of the saucepan can no longer hide the rich aroma.

While watching over the heat of the stew, Xia Miao watched Luo He's steps.

It can be seen that he really wants to win this cooking showdown.

Xia Miao's smile is not a smile... But, it's really fanciful to want to beat me with Tianlong bamboo shoots.

"Do you want my sister to help you?" Xia Miao said softly, "You helped my sister just now, and I will help you too."

"No, it'll be over soon."

After the words fell, Luo He poured the dragon fish oil into the pot.

In an instant, the refreshing and rich aroma of oil diffused.

Xia Miao looked at the golden-yellow cooking oil in the frying pan, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Is this dragon fish oil?" Xia Miao asked.

Luo He generously admitted: "Yes."

Xia Miao raised her eyebrows slightly. She is an expert in the field of spices and has also been exposed to the raw material of dragon fish oil.

The fish oil produced by the Awakened Pet Beast 'Arowana' has a peculiar oily aroma, making it an excellent top grade for cooking.

The dragon fish oil in the Luohe pot is golden in color and rich in aroma, and its quality is higher than any dragon fish oil Xia Miao has ever seen.

"Why is the color of dragon fish oil so golden and beautiful?" Xia Miao couldn't help asking.

Luo He focused on the temperature of the oil in the pot, and calmly said, "I'll tell you later."

He's still playing tricks on me...Xia Miao's hair curled around her ear...I'm really looking forward to what kind of dishes he can serve.

Luohe poured the prepared sweet dragon bamboo shoot slices into the pot, and slowly stir-fried over medium-low heat. The snow-white bamboo shoots are stained with oily luster, and the surface is slightly browned as the oil is fried.

At this time, Luo He took out a can without a label.

This can is made of a unique fungus in Yunling: Gallus pilosula.

Gallium fir, known as the king of bacteria.

The taste is fresh, sweet and crispy, and can be matched with vegetables, fish and various delicacies from mountains and seas.

And in Yunling, there is a delicious flavor product, chicken fir oil, which is made by refining chicken fir fungus, vegetable oil and spices.

Chicken fir oil is delicious, just add a little as a seasoning to add flavor to food.

Luohe's chicken fir oil is homemade on weekdays, and it comes in two flavors: spicy and non-spicy. This time, in order to make braised bamboo shoots in oil, I specially chose chicken fir oil with a refreshing taste.

In the field of spices, Luohe really couldn't come up with spices that could boost appetite better than "medicinal sage" for a while.

However, in the field of fungi, Luohe can use "Calpinia pilosulae" to make the dishes taste better, which is the embodiment of a chef adapting to local conditions and innovating dishes.

Sweet dragon bamboo shoots and dragon fish oil are just two of them. Luohe's homemade "chicken fir oil" is also a trump card that beats Xia Miao!

Luo He scooped up a little oil and mushrooms from the can with a spoon, added them to the pot and fried them together with the bamboo shoots.

The aroma of chicken fir oil slowly infiltrates into the bamboo shoots. They are both fairy-like ingredients grown in the mountains after the rain. The aromas of the two mountain treasures do not cover each other, but blend together beautifully.

This fragrance achieves the effect of one plus one is greater than two, as if you are in the fresh mountain forest after the rain, Xia Miao's eyes are full of surprise.

"What did you add to the pot?"

"Added some mushrooms."

Luo He said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with fungus, I won't be poisoned."

Is it really not poisonous...Xia Miao sniffed this overly alluring aroma, and felt a rare sense of uneasiness in her heart...The aroma of fungi is not in the scope of my research!

Luo He put light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar into the pot, stir-fried evenly, then covered the pot, and turned to low heat to simmer.

"Simmer for a few more minutes."

Luo He looked at Xia Miao and said, "Where's your beef stew?"

"It's about the same cooking time as yours." Xia Miao said.

"I'm looking forward to your cooking." Luo He smiled like a chef encouraging students.

The arrogance in Xia Miao's eyes seemed to dissipate, she took the cooking showdown seriously, and nodded slightly: "Me too."

Time gradually passed.

The two lifted the lid of the pot almost at the same time.

In Xia Miao's pot, the smell of beef, wine and vanilla is mixed with the smell of the pot. The dark red soup formed by red wine and canned tomatoes is fragrant, and the aroma of the vanilla bunch has been fully stimulated.

On Luohe's side, the sauce was harvested by fire to a bright sauce color, and the sauce color hung on the bamboo shoots, which looked like pieces of braised pork. Finally, chopped green onions were added to stimulate the aroma. The aroma of sweet dragon bamboo shoots and chicken fir oil combined into one.

When the dishes are ready, the aroma bursts into the sky.

The moonlight is bright, and the epiphyllum is gradually blooming.

Xia Miao suddenly turned her head and looked at the beauty under the moon in full bloom.

He didn't lie to me...Xia Miao thought in her heart...the aroma of the cooking really makes the beauty under the moon bloom!

Luo He looked at Xia Miao, fearing that she would break the contract and suddenly snatch away the beauty under the moon, so he couldn't help saying:

"This should be counted as letting the beauty under the moon bloom at the same time, so how will we judge our outcome?"

"It's simple, the chefs will comment on each other."

"Chefs comment on each other?" Luo He was taken aback.

Xia Miao scooped up a soft and mellow steak with a spoon, poured it with a little soup, served it with carrots and butter-fried mushrooms, and finally garnished the steak with finely chopped herbs.

Holding the bowl of steak, Xia Miao walked up to Luo He, put the plate in front of him, put both hands on the operating table, and stared at Luo He who was close at hand, like a seductive witch.

"Come, try the dishes made by my sister."

Xia Miao smiled and said, "Bourgogne red wine stewed beef."

The nose wafts a combination of herbs and rich aromas of beef stew.

Luo He's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help swallowing, which landed in Xia Miao's eyes, making her smile even more beautiful.

"So, when chefs evaluate each other, they try each other's dishes?" Luo He said.

"That's right." Xia Miao said, "Between chefs, you can feel the level of each other after tasting the food."

Luo He lowered his head, looked at the fragrant stewed beef, and slowly raised the spoon: "Then, I'll have a taste first."

"Do you want my sister to feed you?" Xia Miao smiled.

As soon as the words fell, Luo He scooped up a small piece of beef mixed with the soup and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I don't understand the style." Xia Miao rolled her eyes.

It has only been stewed for more than an hour, but the beef is completely soft and rotten. It can be easily separated with a spoon, and the aroma of spices has completely penetrated into the steak.

Luo He put down the spoon and exhaled.

Except for the dishes he made himself, Luo He hadn't tasted such delicious beef stew for a long time.

Burgundy red wine stewed beef, although the name of this dish sounds lofty, it is actually a French country dish.

Local girls and aunts make dishes with potatoes, carrots, beef and red wine to reward men who do physical work outside. The thick sauce is full of warm emotions, and the thyme, bay leaf and rosemary are embellished in between. It also adds delicacy and aroma to this dish.

Xia Miao even added the appetite-boosting “salvia,” a beautiful little purple flower, to the dish to make it even more refreshing.

Luo He was amazed that the charming Xia Miao was as careful as a gentle country girl in the field of cooking, making this rough stew soft.

"How does it taste?" Xia Miao licked the corner of her mouth ambiguously.

For some reason, Luo He's eyes on Xia Miao changed from fear to kindness as an old father looks at his daughter.

"Very delicious stew." Luo He smiled gently, "You put your heart into it, Xia Miao."

Xia Miao was stunned for a long time.

Shouldn't you be astonished as a man of heaven after tasting the dishes, and directly bow down under this girl's pomegranate skirt?

What's the matter with this smile, as if an elder is praising the younger generation's cooking with great care? !

"Try my cooking too."

Luo He paused and said:

"The full name should be...【Braised Dragon Bamboo Shoots in Chicken Fir Oil】."

No wonder French cuisine takes such long names on the menu.

Luo He complained in his heart, as the name grew, the grade seemed to suddenly improve!

"Aren't you willing to admit defeat?" Xia Miao picked up the chopsticks, "Don't blame my sister for being too picky later."

Xia Miao picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it in her mouth.

Suddenly, Xia Miao stayed where she was.

She saw a torrential rain, thunder exploded in the dark sky, and the entire mountain forest was covered by heavy rain.

When the rain is over and the sky clears, the dragon bamboo breaks through the mud and sprouts the tips of the bamboo shoots. The crisp, tender and sweet taste is vivid.

The next moment, Xia Miao looked up, and saw the dragon bamboo soaring into the clouds, shining golden under the clear sky, it really turned into a golden dragon rising from the sky!

Xia Miao's eyes were shocked.

It's dragon fish oil... The taste of dragon fish oil complements the freshness and sweetness of dragon bamboo shoots, directly raising the taste of this dish to a higher level!

Suddenly, Xia Miao seemed to have noticed something, and looked at Luo He: "The oil of the mutated dragon fish?"

"Yes." Luo He smiled, "So the color and taste will be improved."

Xia Miao's eyes showed astonishment. She thought that she was far ahead in the preparation of raw materials, but she didn't expect Luo He to even have the advantage.

I wanted to refuse to admit my defeat, but Xia Miao's hand moved uncontrollably, and put another piece of bamboo shoots into her mouth together with the shredded chicken fir.

Bamboo shoots are mountain delicacies, and they are even more delicious after absorbing the aroma of chicken fir oil.

In a trance, Xia Miao felt that she was standing in the forest with fresh air, accompanied by the bamboo forest, the breeze, the bright moon, and the mountain stream.

Delicious...the body and mind are purified.

"Can I finish all of these?" Xia Miao asked with a blushing face.

"sure."

Luo He said calmly: "But the premise is, first decide who wins and who loses."

Xia Miao's eyes showed hesitation.

It is a great shame for the Four Heavenly Kings to admit their defeat in the field of cooking.

But the facts were already in front of his eyes, even if he tried to argue forcefully, he still couldn't convince himself.

But... How did this young man have such superb cooking skills.

Xia Miao raised her eyes and stared at the young Luo He.

Could it be that there are really unborn geniuses in the breeder class?

After a while, a smile spread across Xia Miao's face, and she said softly:

"Okay, my sister lost, so let's count it as a fluke for you to win this time."

"Then according to the agreement..." Luo He pondered.

Xia Miao glanced at the blooming epiphyllum, and said: "According to the agreement, this beauty under the moon belongs to you, but you have to bring it to the hunter to meet my sister."

"Otherwise, you are just lying to sister with sweet words."

A cold light flashed in Xia Miao's eyes, and she said softly, "Although my sister likes your cooking very much, if you deceive me first, then my sister will not be merciful."

I'll fool you, so what!

Luo He thought to himself... Anyway, we don't meet each other, if we really want to find you, let Master Lao Jin find you!

"Compared to your liking, I care more about the philosophy of our Hunter Club."

Luo He said calmly: "If I dedicate the beauty under the moon to you, please don't get me wrong. I accept this nomination certificate for the idea of ​​the Hunter Association."

No matter what ideas a hunter has...Luo He thought to himself...Anyway, there is nothing wrong with standing on the commanding heights of righteousness first!

Xia Miao was slightly taken aback.

Tall young man is handsome and extraordinary, the key is that his good cooking skills are favored by Xia Miao.

And these words about ideas also reminded Xia Miao of the leader of the Hunter Club.

Xia Miao smiled sweetly: "Okay, my sister will do what she says, and after you join the club, I will give you the credit for picking the beauties under the moon."

"When you have the qualification to meet the leader, you will have a deeper understanding of the philosophy of the Hunter Club." Xia Miao pursed her lips.

"By the way, what's your name?" Xia Miao asked.

Luo He intentionally reported a fake name, then thought about it, his performance in the rookie king contest can be found casually, and honestly said:

"People from Yunling, Luo He."

"Luo He." Xia Miao nodded slightly, "Remember, you must come to the hunter's meeting, don't let my sister down."

Luo He shook his head and said, "Certainly come, absolutely not."

Xia Miao said with a smile, "Open your mouth."

Just as Luo He was about to say something, Xia Miao took a spoonful of stewed beef and stuffed it into his mouth, then wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"There is still such a big pot of beef stew, don't waste it." Xia Miao said, "Let's have a picnic here with my sister."

"It's not good to be a black light."

"What are you afraid of? No one will come."

At this time, Xia Miao frowned slightly and looked towards the far end, her eyes shining slightly in the dark night.

"Tch... This group of people came quite quickly, what a disappointment."

Xia Miao waved the kitchen knife in her hand, a cold light flashed.

The beauty under the moon remained in full bloom, fell into Xia Miao's hands, and was handed to Luo He by her.

"Put it in the storage space, and within three days, go to the fish market in Yundu in the early morning, and someone will contact you there."

Xia Miao paused, and said, "I will use spices to remove the traces of the scene, and they won't find that the beauty under the moon is on your body."

The reason why she handed over the beauty under the moon was because she lost the cooking duel. On the other hand, Xia Miao felt that Luo He's words had some credibility.

If it wasn't for attracting the attention of the Hunter Society, he didn't need to stop in front of me desperately.

Xia Miao thought to herself... He is so young, and it is impossible for him to be a member of the Public Security Bureau. He has no reason to protect Beauty under the Moon.

Luo He knew that Xia Miao had more or less believed his nonsense, put Epiphyllum in the storage space, nodded and said:

"Understood, I will take the beauty under the moon and arrive at the fish market on time."

"Before they came, you went down another mountain road, and when you met someone, you said that you were kidnapped by Xia Miao from the Hunter's Association. She left you and left early." Xia Miao followed the instructions.

"Okay." Luo He agreed with his mouth, complaining in his heart... Your ability to tell nonsense is not inferior to mine.

"Then, good night, Luo He." Xia Miao smiled slightly, "This is my sister's farewell gift."

Looking at the sachet Xia Miao handed over, Luo He hesitated and said, "I dare not accept sachets with unknown ingredients."

"Ann, there are some sleeping herbs inside, my sister will not harm you."

Xia Miao stuffed the sachet into Luo He's hand, blinked, and said, "Goodbye!"

There was a gust of fragrant wind, and her figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Luo He looked at the sachet and thought for a long time.

Not long after, a flashlight beam was fired from the dark forest, police dogs barked, and he was surrounded by members of the Public Security Bureau who arrived.

The leader is an uncle with scruffy hair.

The middle-aged uncle was very surprised when he saw Luo He, but he didn't show the strength to be surprised, and said slowly:

"Luo He, why are you?"

It turned out to be Mr. Lao Jin!

Luo He seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly said:

"I have an important matter to report!"

The corner of Laojin's mouth twitched.

Why is there another big deal...

...

The work and rest have collapsed again, first kowtow to the masters Orz
