Chapter Seventy-Eighth, Hayama Ryo

"He probably won't be able to leave now. You've already punched him hard. Professor Xijian Run." Shi Ke glanced at Xing Ping, who was rolling his eyes on the ground, and tilted his mouth at Professor Xijian Run.

"Huh...huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Jun Xijian gasped heavily, not knowing how much adrenaline secreted by Ichiro Pashiro because of hearing these words.

"Crack!" The door just closed opened, and a handsome boy with silver hair and black skin walked in, "I'm back, I bought back the things you entrusted me to buy...huh?"

Everyone was stunned for a while, Xiaohui bowed to the silver-haired handsome boy, "Excuse me...excuse me!"

Next, Shike carried Xingping, who was paralyzed on the ground with half of his face swollen, to the sofa, and sat down together to listen to Professor Jun Xijian's inhuman history of being forced to live in the school as a dark cooking experiment.

"..., I was the youngest in the dormitory at the time, and I was used as an experimental subject by Saiba-senpai from time to time, and I was completely manipulated and played by him at will. Therefore, I left a trauma in my heart that will never be erased in my life..." Xi Jian Run complained bit by bit with no expression on his face, (_), although he didn't burst into tears, a sense of despair filled the entire research room.

"Wait a minute!! Your appearance is the same as in your memory!!" Xingping stretched out his hand and shouted in an Erkang style.

"How do you know?" Shi Ke had a black question mark face, unable to complain.

"Ah... yes. People often say to me, you are so young!" Professor Xijian Run said blankly, then suddenly changed his face, shaking his face with his hands, "Maybe it's because of me Let's take a lot of spices from the past. Many spices have beauty effects!"

"Just use this to explain..." Shi Ke pouted.

"Oh, that guy dad... actually did such an exaggerated thing to the junior, right? Tiansuo." Xingping thought for a while, complained about his father, and looked at Tiansuo.

"...", Xiaohui looked at Xingping, without saying a word, (;_).

"Um...we are actually boarders in Jixing Dormitory, and we came here this time to ask you about curry..."

"Humph!" Professor Xijian Jun turned his head, resolutely not meeting Xingping's eyes, "If it's the big guy and the girl over there, I can give some pointers, but Ichiro Pajo and his relatives... let's not talk about it .Hum!!" The head changed direction.

"She's trying not to meet eyes with Mr. Chuangzhen..." Xiaohui looked at Xi Jianrun in a daze.

"I'm sorry...to be so rude to a rare visitor." The silver-haired, black-skinned handsome guy put the brewed tea on the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa by the way, "I'm Hayama from the first year of high school, and I'm here Teaching assistants. Are you first graders too? I've seen you in class."

"Eh? But, in Yuanyue, generally speaking, you have to wait until the second grade to join the research group?" Xiaohui was puzzled.

"That's because... this woman can't leave me. She is a person who can do nothing but play with spices. Right? Run."

"Should I be called Professor Xijian?! Don't call me Run!! Ye... Ye Shanjun, you are my teaching assistant, so you should respect me very much!" Professor Xijian Run blushed and shook his small hand.

"Run..."

"Oh!!!" Xi Jianrun was upset.

"You forgot to water today..."

"Ahh..." Jun Xijian turned into a guilty conscience for a second, Σ(っ°Д°;)っ.

"I poured water for you."

"Yes...I'm sorry..." Xi Jianrun knelt down and apologized.

"You also forgot to water last week, and you almost let the precious spices wither?"

"It's...it's all my fault..."

"Who dealt with the guest you forgot last month?"

"It's Ye Shanjun..."

Ye Shan asked, Xi Jianrun was a little smaller, getting smaller and smaller, and he was being manipulated to death.

"Who is the professor?" Shi Ke was very interested, (w`).

"However, there are so many kinds of spices here!" Xingping was dazzled by the large and small spice jars around him, especially the Keyin's moon orange on the workbench, which deeply attracted his attention. "Ah... this smells very strong curry!"

"It's a kind of spice called Keyin's Moon Orange, sometimes called curry leaves." Ha Shanliang said.

"Eh? This is... fresh curry leaves?!" Xiaohui looked at it and said.

"Tasuo..., do you know this?" Xinghei asked.

"Hmm. Curry leaf saplings are not very cold-resistant, and they can easily wither because they can't stand the winter climate. Therefore, the curry leaves that circulate in the Japanese market are all dried curry leaves. Fresh curry leaves should be very rare, right? Hayama-kun. "Xiaohui explained and looked at Ye Shanliang.

"This is also one of Run's research topics. How to cultivate spices native to tropical regions in China... In addition, we need to find out the method of long-term preservation using refrigeration technology, and the extraction technology of new spices... These are all one by one. It succeeded." Ye Shan couldn't help but bring a little pride when he spoke.

"Spice, is it difficult to grow?" Shi Ke thought about the one-hectare greenhouse spice planted by his mother and sister Feng Ya in the backyard, and said nothing.

"Ah! You really can't judge by appearance! Teacher, you are amazing!" Xingping praised Professor Jun Xijian.

"Ha... Even if you praise me, I won't be happy." Jun Xijian happily declined.

"It's a bit like a certain reindeer..." Shi Ke nodded, feeling cute.

"However, this also shows that there are infinitely rich possibilities in the spices!" Jun Xijian got excited when he said this, and put on a white coat that belonged to the professor with a bang.

"In the final analysis, the so-called spices refer to the combination of aroma, pungentness, and color. After blending, they can play a synergistic effect. The more types of spices are used in blending, the characteristics of each spice will change. suppress each other under each other, and then transform into a mild taste that everyone can accept. But it is not that the more the amount of deployment, the better. If you add it indiscriminately, it will produce a lot of bad miscellaneous flavors and affect the taste. According to the research of Shiomi's research team, The limit of blending is about 20. In addition, oil is indispensable when using spices. Heating oil can bring out the aroma of spices, and the most delicious state of oil is emulsification. Hehehe... Speaking of this , Emulsifier is one of the classic inventions in cooking. Uh heh heh heh..." Jun Xijian said with a greedy smile on his face.

"Eh... she's starting to give lectures seriously." Xingping was a little speechless, _.

"Alas... once she enters this state, she can't stop..." Ye Shanliang collapsed on the sofa, looking tired.

"Oh. Dedicated enough." Shi Ke nodded.

"... Forget it! It should be clearer after the actual experience, right?" Ye Shanliang stood up and waved at the three of them.

"Huh?" Xingping still didn't understand.

"Try it. I'll show you the depth of spices." Ha Shanliang picked up a curry leaf and smiled at Xingping.

Xingping understood.

Everyone followed Ye Shanliang to the conditioning room (that is, the kitchen where they study spices).

"First of all, the South Indian curry with chicken. This is one of the classic South Indian dishes. I used the curry leaves just now to enhance the flavor. You guys have a try." Ha Shanliang clicked as soon as he entered After a quick meal, a plate of hot curry chicken came out of the pan.

"Ah! It looks super delicious!" Xingping held a spoon eager to try it.

The three tasted together.

"What is this? The strong aroma of curry leaves hits the nostrils at first, followed by the smell of chili and onion, and the spicy deliciousness slowly spreads in the mouth!! I have never tasted such curry! "Xingping was too shocked to speak.

"Fresh curry leaves are delicious." Shi Ke smiled and nodded.

"Hmm. This is the power of fresh curry leaves. The fragrance of fresh curry leaves is more than ten times that of dry curry leaves..." Ye Shanliang nodded, "Very good! Next one!"

Ye Shanliang operated for a while, and another curry was placed in front of the three of them.

"Goan fish curry." Shi Ke looked at it.

"Hmm. This is a Goan fish curry made with swordfish, salmon and other white fish. The two curries use the same spices. Try to see the difference?" Hayama nodded again.

"Two of the same curry?" Xiaohui looked at it cutely, and picked up the spoon with Xingping Shike.

"Hmm!! The second bowl is even more delicious!!" Xiaohui said.

"Did you fry the spices for this dish?" Shi Ke frowned.

"That's right. The chilies and coriander in this curry are pan-roasted."

"Hey! Does this alone make such a big difference? The scent is completely different!" Xiaohui said in surprise.

"I fully understand what that teacher said. The flavors of all the ingredients are integrated with the dry-fried spices as the center." Xinghei rubbed his chin in thought.

"This is the last one. Mr. Shi Ke, guess again." Ye Shanliang became interested in Shi Ke.

"This one looks exactly the same as the first one!" Xiaohui said.

"No...it's not the same, the aroma of curry leaves is several times stronger than the previous one!!" Xinghei said.

"..." Shi Ke twitched his nose and pouted his lips.

"Really! The taste spreading in the mouth is completely different!! How should I put it...the taste is more solid than before!" Xiaohui said after taking a sip.

"Mr. Shi Ke, don't you want to try it?" Ye Shanliang said.

"I can smell this dish even if I don't need to eat it. You didn't add any new spices, but cooked the curry directly with clear water. You didn't use the broth in the first two recipes. The aroma of the broth disappeared. The interference with the curry leaves was removed. It's a pure curry, right?" Shi Ke slapped himself with his hand, then picked up a spoon and took a big mouthful, "However, you'd be a fool if you don't eat it. Hmm!! The taste is really good!"

"Yeah. You're right! This is a utilization of the content of the Jun course. The more types of flavors are mixed, the weaker the essence of the material will appear. So, I did the opposite and made this Dao curry. Mr. Shi Ke, you have a good understanding of spices."

"Of course. I'm a Chinese chef. I deal with spices every day. At most, I'm not as crazy as an Indian chef."

"This guy...it looks like he will be my strong opponent in the trials!! He is indeed the guy who beat the top ten!" Ye Shanliang's face was a little ugly, and he turned his head and started making curry again with a solemn expression, "However, in the In terms of spices, it is absolutely impossible for the combination of me and Run to be an opponent!"

"..." Xingping looked at the pot in front of him, and then at Ye Shanliang, who had been roasting spices with his back turned to them, his expression was a little dignified.

"What's wrong with you? Mr. Chuangzhen?" Xiao Hui saw Xingping's expression.

"This guy...never looks inside the pot while cooking!"

"Eh?!" Xiao Hui also reacted.

"This guy can completely control the situation in the pot just by relying on the aroma of spices and ingredients..." Xingping gritted his teeth.

"Hehe...Didn't I just say that? That woman needs me very much! The implementation stage of turning Jun's culinary theory into practice is where I want to be. The relationship between the two of us is that of a theoretical scientist and a practical chef... To be honest, I laughed outright when I knew the topic of the qualifiers, but I never thought it would be curry." Ye Shanliang finished the work in hand, turned around and spread his hands and said.

"Are you also participating in the trials?" Xinghei asked.

"Yes. I'm in Group A just like you. Soma Xinghei."

"Strange? Did I declare my family name?" Xingping was taken aback for a moment.

"As long as the students who participated in the opening ceremony can't help but remember you, right? Your dishes are very interesting, and even in limited circumstances, you can rely on creativity to get through the difficulties! But..., with these skills alone, There is no way to reach the peak of Yuanyue. The thing that makes people feel earlier than the deliciousness and appearance, and the fascinating thing that still lingers after chewing, is the fragrance. Those who can control the fragrance can control the dishes , that is to say... the person who can reach the peak of Yuanyue will be Ye Shanliang, that is, me!" Ye Shanliang said calmly, unbuttoning his apron.

"..., oops. Thank you for your hospitality. The curry you made is delicious! I will invite you back next time." Xingping thought about it, and said with folded hands.

"next time?"

"I will treat you with curry that is more delicious than yours on the selection stage!!" Xingping said confidently.

"You mean...you want to beat me in the field of curry?" Ye Shanliang froze for a moment.

"Yeah." Xingping nodded.

"I said...you...do you feel nothing after eating my curry?"

"Yes. You are super powerful." Xingping crossed his hands, (_).

"What?!" Ye Shanliang was a little confused. Σ(っ°Д°;) っ.

"There are chefs who can do things that they can't cook..., it's really enviable!!" Xinghei said with a smile.

"Thank you for telling us all kinds of things, let's see you in the preliminaries!!" Xingping turned his head to say hello and walked to the kitchen door.

"Wait a minute!! I said why did you run away?! The class is only halfway through!" With a question from Jun Xijian, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Bang!" Xingping rushed to the street again.

Door...☆(￣#)3￣)

Then, Xinghei knelt on the ground, covered his stomach with one hand, and pointed to the door with the other, --otz, "The doorknob..., the doorknob hit my stomach!!"

"Ah!! I'm sorry!" Xi Jianrun panicked.

"Xing Ping Chuangzhen, studying curry is equivalent to studying spices, and it is also equivalent to studying the fragrance itself! Moreover, my nose is very special. Therefore, you have no chance of winning!" Ye Shanliang said calmly .

"..." Xingping didn't say a word, nine out of ten he didn't know how to refute.

"Mr. Shi Ke, you didn't say anything just now, didn't you have any ideas?"

Shi Ke helped Xing Ping, who had a door frame mark on his face, and looked at Ye Shanliang, "Are you only going to win one qualifier? The next official game may not be better than Curry. Besides,..., even if it is Curry, You have to taste good to be considered excellent. Taste and fragrance are inseparable, they are one. In terms of fragrance, you are indeed quite good, but..., in terms of taste, you are really not good enough."

"You mean...you can beat me?" Ye Shanliang was a little uneasy.

"It might be worse in terms of spices. But, in terms of taste, I'm still a little bit better than you. Ah..., it's barely a 50-50 split." Shi Ke smiled and stretched out his right hand in mid-air, with his index finger bent and his thumb He touched his fingertips and made a gesture similar to ok.

"Then we'll see you in the official game." Ye Shan said with a smile.

"En. Okay." Shi Ke nodded with a smile.

"Wow!! What a smell of gunpowder~~" Xiaohui and Jun Shiomi waved their small fists beside them.
