The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 608 Chapter 140 Catherine's Suggestion
On the third day, very early in the morning, Zheng Ke got up early, went to the kitchen, and made the dishes that took six or seven hours to think about yesterday.

Zheng Ke tried his best to get rid of the shadow of Marseille seafood soup. When cooking this dish, except for a few ingredients, other materials are quite different from Marseille seafood soup.

Of course, Zheng Ke also has his own fears. He has never made this dish, and he is a little worried that the dish he made will be a 'dark dish'.

However, when the strong fragrance wafted out, Zheng Ke sniffed it twice desperately, and had to say that the soup is a good soup, it depends on what level it can reach.

"Well, it smells so good." Catherine's voice came from the door.

"You're here just in time. How about trying this dish?" Zheng Ke poured the soup into a soup basin and placed it in front of Catherine.

The grouper fish is cut into pieces and placed in a soup basin with white soup poured over it. The scallops, clams, and shrimps are also covered by the white soup, which is rich and delicious.

"It looks so rich, so I'll start eating." Catherine picked up the spoon, took a sip of the thick soup, closed her eyes and savored it carefully.

"Well, this dish is very good... Butter, parsley, garlic, celery are added to the thick soup... Then, the white wine removes the fishy smell and makes the fish taste more delicious. The scallops are also good, light and delicious , into the heart. The taste of the shrimp and clams inside is just right—it just tastes a little nondescript.”

"Ah? Nondescript?" Zheng Ke scratched his head, but he didn't expect Catherine to give such an opinion, "Is it impossible? I think it's pretty good."

"Ahem... I take back the 'nondescript' sentence I just said. If this dish is eaten at home, it is indeed a very good dish, but this kind of dish, to be honest, is a bit like a hodgepodge. There are seafood with excellent umami taste, such as scallops, clams, shrimps, and grouper. If you want to highlight the deliciousness of the ingredients, you should use broth instead of cream and butter as the soup. If you are looking for taste, you should choose Cooking thick soup. In short, I feel that this dish is not bad, but that its taste is too delicious. I think that if it reduces its ingredients, it will taste better."

After hearing Catherine's words, Zheng Ke immediately looked at the recipe, and then recollected the meaning of Catherine's words.

"Should you imitate seafood soup? After all, saffron is also inspired by seafood soup. However, my suggestion is that it is best to choose between seafood soup and thick soup, and then match the heat just now and the pairing. The control of the seasoning and the cooking should be even better." Catherine said very seriously.

Zheng Ke nodded and smiled bitterly: "I thought this dish would be very good?"

"This dish is very good, but...you think too much. It is very difficult to have both the deliciousness of seafood soup and the thickness of thick soup. Sometimes, 1+1<1." Catherine reminded Zheng Ke.

"Thank you. Once you said that, I knew what to do. Fortunately, you came from France." Zheng Ke grinned.

"That... of course. I... I just miss everyone." Catherine, who was still high-spirited just now, became a little cautious after hearing Zheng Ke's words, and her eyes drifted to other places.

Zheng Ke didn't have time to tease Catherine, all his thoughts were on cooking.

Since you have to choose one of the two, let’s choose soup, right?
In addition to not wanting to follow the old path of Abu Sauron, Zheng Ke is also worried about seafood soup.After all, Abu Sauron's seafood soup was once lost to him.

Time, there are still more than four days, but he seems to have found some ways.

In the next four days, Zheng Ke almost kept revising his recipes, and Catherine only pointed out the shortcomings of the cooking, but did not mention how to improve it.

Finally, on the morning of the sixth day, Zheng Ke finally produced the final version of the soup, which was highly praised by Catherine.

"Phew, I finally got your approval. I thought I was going to die?" Zheng Ke was lying on the console, but his strength seemed to be exhausted.

"However, there is still a shortcoming in this dish. After eating, I don't feel satisfied." Catherine was slightly worried.

"No way?" Zheng Ke heard Catherine's words, and immediately started, picked up the spoon, and took a sip. Sure enough, after swallowing, the delicious taste remained in the throat, but as Catherine said, the whole dish It does seem like something is missing.Moreover, this feeling is so familiar...

Zheng Ke crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

Although Catherine knew how to make up for this shortcoming, she still chose to remain silent out of respect for Zheng Ke. Moreover, based on her understanding of Zheng Ke, this difficult question should not be difficult for him.Maybe, his solution is better than his own.

……

When Zheng Ke came out of the kitchen and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

Arriving at the lobby, Zheng Ke found many people gathered around the bulletin board.

"Zheng Ke, your problem is solved?" Catherine asked curiously.

"Yeah, but the solution... I don't think you can guess it at all." Zheng Ke said proudly.

"Tch, I don't believe you won't make it tomorrow." Catherine looked disdainful.

Zheng Ke didn't want to argue with Catherine, but pointed to the signboard and said, "What's written on it?"

"It's nothing. It's about the matters that need to be paid attention to in tomorrow's competition. It probably means that in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, only the judges and contestants are allowed to appear on the field in tomorrow's competition, while other contestants and reporters who are not competing must You can watch the game in the lounge, or you can watch it on the big screen outside the villa. By the way, your game is tomorrow afternoon, from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock."

Zheng Ke nodded. This mode can indeed reduce the audience's influence on the players, and it does not prevent reporters from recording the game. To some extent, the observation field of view will be better.

This change doesn't have much impact on Zheng Ke.

"By the way, did you see anyone else?"

"Others? My brother and Hanazawa-senpai were chasing girls on the beach outside, and Akakubo Momo was also playing outside. Takasugi-senpai seems to have finished cooking yesterday. He played outside for a long time this morning, and his skin burned a little, but , not too serious. Now go back and rest."

This Takasugi Juji... is too big, right?
"Then let's go out and have a look too?" Zheng Ke looked at Catherine and said.

"Just waiting for your words. Let's go!" Catherine pulled Zheng Ke and walked towards the outside of the villa.

"Hey, wait for me to change my clothes first, this suit is so dirty." Zheng Ke staggered two steps, but Catherine ignored Zheng Ke's protest and pulled Zheng Ke out of the villa.
