I'm a dragon sparrow in Tokyo

Chapter 56 The Spirit of Fortune
"By the way, Uncle Xiang, if I guessed correctly, you should have made this salted duck dish yourself."

Jiang Xu glanced at the two white ducks on the table that were sealed in vacuum bags, they were clean, there was no extra hair on their bodies, and they were arranged neatly and symmetrically, looking like they had a unique aesthetic feeling, and said.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Hagiwara Sho showed a hint of color.

He dared to say that although he only studied for a week, the two salted ducks he made by himself are absolutely authentic, and they also use the century-old brine from the hotel, so the taste is also excellent.

"Although there is still a process to process the salted duck before it is served, this is indeed your dish. Then, Uncle Xiang, please promise to have a meal with me, and eat the halberd through the video!"

"The food halberd through the video?"

Hagiwara Sho was taken aback, he could still play like this, why didn't he think of this idea when he was young?
Oh, video calls were not popular at that time, so it's okay.

"Interesting, I agreed. Then let Qingye handle the last process of the salted duck for me, and have a meal with Jiang Xujun. But we are father and daughter, and you will be at a disadvantage alone."

Hagiwara Sho smiled and casually agreed to Jiang Xu's invitation to the halberd-eating showdown, but didn't take it to heart.

Aoba: "???"

Jiang Xu's eyes were indeed slightly fixed, and a fighting spirit rose in his heart.

He knew that, judging by the level of a chef, Hagiwara Sho was definitely very strong, at least he had entered the second level of cooking.

It is even very possible to be considered a leader in the second level of realm.

But this salted duck dish is not his signature dish after all.

Jiang Xu realized that it was not impossible to win.

His eyes swept across the freshly slaughtered three ducks and three chickens that Qing Ye bought on the table, the internal organs of which had already been emptied.

With a slight twitch in his heart, he pointed to the most tender-looking rooster and said, "Since you are a salted duck, Uncle Xiang, I will choose this chicken to make a saliva chicken."

Drool chicken?Another dish I've never heard of.

But this does not prevent Sho Hagiwara from smiling and saying, "I'm looking forward to it!"

"Then don't disconnect our video connection. Jiang Xujun, you first tell me what mapo tofu needs to cook until it has all kinds of spices and sauces, and I will prepare it. I will cook according to your steps later. Of course , don’t forget your own food.”

Jiang Xu said: "My dish doesn't take long, and I can wait until Auntie Daizi comes home."

Hagiwara Sho frowned, feeling that the words were inexplicably familiar.

Qingye looked at Jiang Xu strangely from the side, and she often heard similar words from her father before.

"Then Qingye, wait until the time is almost up, and then you can finish the last process of the salted duck."

"Ok."

About 10 minutes later, Hagiwara Sho reappeared in the camera with a large bag of ingredients and various spices.

The mobile phone was also mounted on a high place, looking down from a wide angle.

It can be clearly seen that Sho Hagiwara is standing in front of a very clean stove, and the space behind it is also filled with various pots and pans, including a steamer and refrigerator.

"Uncle Xiang, where are you cooking now?" Jiang Xu asked curiously.

"Oh, it's the experimental kitchen of the restaurant, which is specially used to develop new dishes. The ingredients and kitchen utensils can be used for free according to the chef level, which is very convenient."

Jiang Xu nodded to show his understanding: "Then let's start."

Hagiwara Sho placed all the materials in front of him in an orderly manner, and nodded, "Okay."

Just blinking, Jiang Xu looked at the screen again, his normal face suddenly froze, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

On the other side of the screen reflected in his eyes, a white crane hovered above Hagiwara Sho who was preparing ingredients.

The upper body of the white crane is lifelike, with distinct feathers and vivid eyes, but the two slender legs are as vacuous as elongated smoke.

'substitute? ! !This is a sign of awakening the substitute! '

Jiang Xu was so surprised that he almost cried out.

Fortunately, in the next second, he caught a glimpse of the reminder given by the system in the lower corner of his field of vision.

【Spirit of Fortune: White Crane】

[Description: The food spirit transformed by Chef Hagiwara Sho's food luck.Baihe has a noble and gentle personality, and likes a clean and orderly environment.It seems that he has a special obsession with Sakurajima cuisine. 】

Soul Eater!

What is the use of this thing?

Suppressing the surprise and curiosity in his heart, Jiang Xu began to talk about the method of making mapo tofu without squinting.

In fact, it is no different from his approach in Chapter 4Chapter 5 of this book.

I just replaced the bean paste with a kind of bean paste with the most similar taste to Mapo's special bean paste (that is, Pixian County bean paste) described by Jiang Xu, as well as some condiments.

The overall steps have not changed much.

In Aoba's eyes, no matter Jiang Xu's knife skill or the control of fire, among all the peers she has met, few people can do it better.

But also just peers.

However, Sho Hagiwara's basic culinary skills are already close to the top of his skills, and he has begun to pursue his own 'reason'.

Converted into a sparrow, it is the pinnacle of heart-changing hands, only half a step away from stepping into the upper realm.

Therefore, it is obviously a 'dictation', and it is the first time to make this dish, but from the outside, Hagiwara Sho seems proficient, not like a novice at all.

This is actually because he is relying on his past experience to control the overall process of making dishes without any mistakes.

In many places, just as Jiang Xu spoke, Hagiwara Sho had already made preparations, but he waited until Jiang Xu finished speaking and confirmed, before he began to operate, obviously anticipating the follow-up steps of this dish in advance.

The dishes are also slowly taking shape in this step-by-step operation.

"Bean paste, red oil, tempeh, garlic, chili noodles, beef bone broth, pepper noodles"

Jiang Xu said smoothly.

"Forehead"

Just like this step by step, every time he listened to Jiang Xu's words and added the above-mentioned strong seasonings to the pot, Hagiwara Sho's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

This kind of spiciness can only be said to be a dish of Sichuan cuisine.

The whole pot was already burning red and bubbling, even through the screen, both Jiang Xu and Aoba could see that the air was filled with a crimson color.

Jiang Xu in front of the camera frowned slightly.

Sho Hagiwara's actions were not wrong, and his narration was not wrong either.

But this dish is still not as high as expected due to experience and timing issues.

At most, only seventy percent.

However, it's okay, and most of the essence of mapo tofu is still preserved.

It's just that fresh and whole are slightly lacking.

"Okay, Uncle Xiang, the previous work is done, only the seasoning and thickening are left."

Wait until all the spices are temporarily added, Jiang Xu said.

"it is good,"

Nodding his head, Hagiwara Sho scooped a small spoonful of the original bright red soup with a piece of tofu from the pot.

With his head down, Jiang Xu couldn't see his expression clearly.

But the white crane with pure white feathers on his head looked at the mapo tofu like a lava hell, with obvious hesitation in its agile eyes.

Time waits for no one, if you hesitate any longer, the smooth and tender tofu in the pot will deteriorate and become old due to overcooking.

Sho Hagiwara gritted his teeth and put the spoon into his mouth.

bake!
As if the original magma exploded in his mouth, Hagiwara Sho's flush flushed from his neck and spread all over his face, which was visible to the naked eye.

The white crane above his head raised its neck and let out a cry, and the white feathers all over its body began to be dyed with various colors from its beak.

The blackness of Douban Douchi, the redness of Red Oil Chili Noodles, the greenness of Zanthoxylum bungeanum Noodles, the jade whiteness of tofu and the colors of various raw materials.

It turned into a crane more colorful than a peacock!

He Ling spread his wings, leaned forward, and glided to the top of the iron pot where Mapo Tofu was cooked, and began to circle, making several jittering sounds.

It's just that its legs are still illusory and foggy, like a rope connecting Hagiwara Sho and its body.

Swallowing the tofu, Hagiwara Sho's eyes, which were closed due to the irritating smell of spicy hot sesame, suddenly opened.

His shots were like layers of phantoms, and in an instant he picked out the salt, monosodium glutamate, and chicken essence that he had determined in his heart one by one from the seasoning cup.

The three seasonings flew out from the mouth of the cup almost at the same time, turned into an arc, and fell into the pot with precision.

Then, Hagiwara Shocai lifted the soy sauce bottle and moved it to the top of the pot, tilting it slightly and immediately returning to the right position.

A small shot of black soy sauce flowed out from the mouth of the bottle, gathered in mid-air and transformed into a ball of black liquid, falling rapidly.

But something else fell at the same time as it.

That is, a colorful feather!

As the flying crane spirit kept fluttering its wings, the color on its body gradually faded, and finally all condensed into a single feather, and itself returned to pure white.

He Ling turned his head back and tore off the feather mixed with various colors with his long and pointed beak, then let it go and let it fall into the pot.

Soy sauce and Iroha fell into the pot at the same time.

Almost immediately, a mellow original umami taste of the ingredients suddenly broke through the blockade of spicy taste and spread to the entire experimental kitchen.

This is, Yuan Chudao! !
