Eternal Food Paradise.

Chapter 98 First Test
"This special make-up exam, the topic is..."

"Specify ingredients!"

Si Yingshi got up, walked to a dining car, and pointed to a bloody thigh on the big plate above.

It was clearly the hind leg of some large animal, big and strong.

"Cowleg?"

Yishihui and Jiuwo Zhaoji, who entered the door together with Xia Yan, seemed to have only just realized the appearance of the exam questions, and they were more active than Xia Yan, the examinee, and approached the dining car.

However, upon closer observation, the expressions of the two gradually became strange.

Generally speaking, the meat quality of the hind legs of any animal is the roughest in this area.

The reason is naturally directly related to the amount of exercise.

Beef tenderloin, commonly known as the "filet steak" area, is the area of ​​the whole cow with the least amount of exercise, so naturally, the meat is the most tender and soft, and it is delicious no matter how it is cooked.

As the hind thighs that support the body and support running, the muscle tissue is too strong, and the meat must be rough.

Yishihui and Jiuga Zhaoji were surprised, but it wasn't the "rough" meat quality.

But...

There are irregular "frost" layers on the beef shank.

These are layers of fat!

Appearing on the beef shank, it seems that the creator suddenly got interested and made a tricky joke with the world!

The two looked at each other.

"Cut from the body of a variant 'Wagyu'?"

A voice with a mischievous smile said: "You are late, just 10 minutes ago, the people from Yuanyue's logistics department just left, this cow leg was actually sent by the director of the logistics department himself, look It’s the Commander-in-Chief who gave the order to die.”

It was Gentian Kobayashi with long blood-red hair.

With her hands behind her back, she approached Xia Yan with a smile, staring at him up and down.

After a moment, suddenly stretched out a small white hand.

"Why don't we get to know each other formally?" Xiao Lin Gendan smiled and showed his sharp little canine teeth.

She wore Yuanyue's uniform like a bad big sister.

Inside the coat was a thin sweater, and then a white shirt.

The top few buttons were left unbuttoned, and when he leaned slightly and stretched out his hand for a grip, an unfathomable career gap suddenly appeared,
Xia Yan looked down at her outstretched palms, and found that the orange sweater she was wearing inside had sleeves longer than the uniform sleeves, covering half of her palms.

It's a little subtle, Xia Yan's first impression of this top ten female third graders was quite complicated.

Probably mature and charming, with a little playfulness and cuteness.

Finding Xia Yan seeing her long sweater sleeves, Kobayashi Gendan smiled and said, "Why, do you want to hold all of them and feel the warmth of senior sister's palms?"

"Sure enough, you need love!"

"In such an examination room, there are a group of guys with malicious intentions as the audience. As expected, only the palms and arms of my senior sister can make you feel warm."

The self-familiarity of this senior made Xia Yan secretly amused, and touched her palm with his fingers together, but he didn't just hold her.

Seeing the regret immediately revealed by Kobayashi Gendan.

He couldn't help laughing: "I don't need any warmth for now."

"Besides, if you want to be warm, you don't have to cough..." His eyes turned to Kobayashi Gendan's chest line, which was still not to be underestimated, and his words suddenly changed.

"Sister Xiaolin, you seem to be quite familiar with me?"

"That's for sure. In fact, a year ago, I wanted to get to know you well, and then I heard the news of your suspension of school."

A cold voice that dropped the air by more than ten degrees Celsius interrupted the two people who were about to chat with high spirits:
"The exam has started, and the time limit is 2 hours!"

Nakiri Erina stood not far away with her arms folded, and she glanced over with sharp eyes.

"Oh, I won't bother you anymore."

Kobayashi Rindou waved his hand, a length of sweater sleeve grew out, like an orange knitted glove.

Xia Yan watched the woman in the second seat bouncing back to the top ten group.

He quietly, on the list and notes in his mind.

For the string belonging to Gendan Kobayashi, mark a question mark for now.

Simply put, the target of this halberd is to be determined.

As Yisehui said when he was in Jixingliao, this is a good opportunity to observe all the ten heroes!
On the contrary, Xia Yan was not in a hurry to look at the ingredients specified for the exam, but met his eyes one by one with the ten outstanding people present, except Isshiki Hui, Kuga Teruki, Kobayashi Rindan, and Nakiri Erina.

They didn't come up with the intention of chatting and making friends, and they looked at each other coldly.

Xia Yan didn't know how to put a hot face on a cold ass, so he went up to ask for friends, and soon, his eyes finally fell on a man wearing glasses and combing his hair neatly back.

"Eizan Eizin also..."

Say the name silently.

The ninth seat, nicknamed 'Alchemist'.

Leaving aside his culinary skills, his talent in business and money-making is terrifyingly high. Before he graduated from Yuanyue, he had already developed his personal business empire outside of school.

Rui Shan, who was locked by his eyes, lowered his head, pushed the frame of the glasses, the mirrors reflected light, and no reaction or eyes could be seen.

He is also a sophomore.

It is the same class as Xia Yan, Isshi Hui, and Jiuga Zhaoji.

Last year, from the audience's perspective, he witnessed Xia Yan and Jiuga Teruji's eating halberd up close.

In fact, after their "autumn selection" this year, the new lineup of the top ten has been fixed, and the discussion about the new top ten members has never stopped, both inside and outside the school.

Among them, the most controversial one is, of course, the "disappearing" legendary figure.

The student who beat the eighth seat Kuga Teruki.

He didn't even rank among the top ten.

Some people said that on the day of his return, with the seventh seat, Yisehui, as the dividing line, the eighth, ninth, and tenth seats below should be trembling.

In fact.

Ruishan Zhizuya's mood at this time was indeed extremely bad.

Damn!

Why are you staring at me!Hello!

Involuntarily, a few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He wanted to show off his face, growl a few words, and vent the inexplicable panic in his heart at the moment.

Fortunately, Xia Yan didn't continue to look at him, and turned his head quickly, turned his back to the dining car, watching the ingredients he was going to prepare with relish.

"This amount of fat really doesn't look like a beef leg." Xia Yan put on disposable gloves and grabbed the beef leg.

It's a bit overwhelming to hold with both hands.

"With such a tight frost layer, it is impossible to separate the oil, so the first difficulty in the ingredients test is to deal with excess oil?"

Thinking about it, Xia Yan moved his nose, and after a certain development of his sense of smell, he could easily smell a strong smell.

"Why is the smell so scary?" He was startled.

Vaguely, there is also a lingering smell.

Si Yingshi took the manual of the ingredients, and explained according to the scriptures: "According to the ingredients introduction manual of the logistics department, the smell is too strong because the volatile fatty acids in the meat are too strong."

"As for the stench, it's the joint of the cow's leg and hoof, the unremoved tendons and bones, and the ammonia in the sarcoplasmic protein..."

"stop!"

Xia Yan doesn't want to hear technical terms like "volatile fatty acid" and "sarcoplasmic protein" now.

He rubbed his temples, "Let me be quiet and think about it."

When it comes to the method of removing the fishy smell, at least a dozen common and useful methods popped up in his mind instantly.

For example, let the beef leg and white radish cook together.

For example, before cooking, add a little rice vinegar to the water to boil the beef shank first.

Next, it involves the usage of some spices.

Angelica.

Although the taste is bitter, it can effectively remove the fishy smell.

There is also 'Little Algal Ginger', whose usage is roughly similar to that of Angelica dahurica, but it is the same as Angelica dahurica, and the amount must be carefully controlled, even if there is a subtle extra 1 gram, the flavor of the dish will be distorted.

Xia Yan really wanted to spread her hands:
Look, after all, it's back to the issue of driving and using spices.

This is enough to see how versatile the 'seasoning' technique is, or in other words, the special product of the system that has been advanced and changed by his "Jumping Wind", that kind of secret spice bag, the extra changeable characteristics, really Every pack has every kind of usage!

Coincidentally, when preparing for the tea party and drawing cards last night, he pulled out a pack of 'Universal Stew Spice Pack' with a less complicated structure.

There are angelica dahurica, galangal and other spices that suppress the smell of mutton!

"Don't use the original version! It's a waste!"

"I think I should try to imitate and learn the formula inside the spice bag, maybe I can get the know-how in the field of special spices?"

Not long after the make-up exam started, outside the door, an old man with white hair and white beard arrived quietly with Xing Ping Chuangzhen.

As soon as the two stood up in the shadow of Shijie and Xia Yan's blind spot, they heard Xia Yan's voice:
"... There are a few spices that are not available here, namely grass fruit, star anise, coriander seeds..."

"what!"

Then, as if something happened to him, there was a low cry at the end of the sentence.

Ding.

Xia Yan checked the late system tasks.

[Task-'First trial of exotic ingredients'. 】
