Ye Chen slightly raised his head.
She glanced at the man gently and replied.
garlic!
This kind of thing.
It's the kind of food that people from Northeast China love.
Eating noodles or skewers with a few cloves of raw garlic is truly a delightful experience!
This down-to-earth food has somehow become associated with romance. In Provence, France, garlic is an indispensable delicacy.
In fact, Mediterranean cuisine uses a lot of ingredients, such as thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, bay leaves, tarragon leaves, chives, garlic, olive oil, etc.
Even garlic can be used as a seasoning.
……
First of all.
Ye Chen peeled and sliced the garlic.
Blanch the tomatoes briefly in hot water, then peel and remove the seeds before dicing them.
Combine olive oil and garlic slices in a pot and simmer over low heat for half an hour, or until the garlic slices are soft and golden brown.
then.
Add the heavy cream to the pot.
Stir it and turn the heat to the lowest setting to keep warm.
Do not let it boil. Sprinkle with a little Provençal mixed herbs to make garlic butter sauce.
Add 5 liters of water to a large pot, bring to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt, add the spaghetti, and cook until al dente and chewy. Drain the water.
Finally, pour the garlic cream sauce over the top, stir, and then divide it into four warmed plates. Sprinkle with cheese powder, diced tomatoes, and basil shreds evenly over the top.
……
"All right."
"Please enjoy!"
Ye Chen wiped away the beads of sweat.
Then, the steaming hot garlic and tomato noodles were served to the diners.
Take a bite.
The noodles are smooth and chewy.
The flavor is savory and salty. Because tomatoes are naturally sour, they are very appetizing. When paired with garlic, herbs and other seasonings, the sourness is well masked, making the flavor rich and smooth in the mouth!
Compared to other restaurants, Ye Chen's restaurant is a true blessing for diners.
They are usually open continuously from noon, meaning you can dine outside of peak meal times and no reservations are required.
Subsequently.
Another unfamiliar diner stepped into the restaurant.
He stood tall and straight. Although he was old and the years had left deep marks on him, they had not diminished his integrity in the slightest.
His hair was completely white, but his face was lean and resolute. His deep eyes, calm yet revealing a composure and wisdom born of experience, seemed to see through all the turmoil of the world!
"Ok?"
"Why is it him?"
Ye Chen looked up and was secretly surprised.
He quickly realized that even Erina and Hisako had appeared in France.
It's not surprising that Senzaemon Nakiri, the supreme commander representing the highest authority of Totsuki Academy, appeared at this restaurant right after him!
……
Just came in.
Suddenly, I felt a strange gaze fixed on me.
Senzaemon instinctively looked over and saw a handsome young man staring at him unabashedly, his gaze scrutinizing him.
He couldn't help but feel surprised. Given his status, even politicians, gourmets, and famous chefs in France would treat him with great respect. Why would they look at him like that?
So, they wanted to test Ye Chen's abilities.
He focused his mental energy, and his eyes shot towards Ye Chen like two sharp blades.
however.
Ye Chen is here.
A pair of bright eyes flashed with light as she stared at the commander-in-chief without yielding an inch!
"Huh? Could it be that he has something on him...?"
"Commander-in-Chief," he said in surprise.
……
"Ye Chen, right?"
"I am Erina's grandfather, and also the current headmaster of Totsuki Academy."
In the end, the commander-in-chief was the first to give in, and could only hurriedly turn his gaze away and speak to Ye Chen.
"Oh!"
Ye Chen replied calmly.
"As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. My granddaughter Erina met you these past two days, and she's been praising you to me ever since. At first, I didn't quite believe it, but after meeting you tonight, I found that you have an extraordinary temperament and exude elegance!"
"No wonder you won the gold medal at the Esquif Junior Culinary Competition at such a young age."
Senzaemon looked at Ye Chen with admiration.
They have guts.
She is also very confident.
Especially when faced with his own powerful aura, he showed no fear or apprehension whatsoever, and even managed to overpower him!
……
"you flatter me."
"What would you like to eat now?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered, and he asked.
"Erina told me that you can order very casually here, so let's start with a cup of warm, savory clam chowder, a small portion of cod roe and slow-roasted guinea pig with black truffle, and oh, and a bowl of white rice!"
"As expected of the commander-in-chief, he really knows his food."
"hehe."
"Can't we do it?"
Upon hearing this, the commander-in-chief chuckled and asked.
"Sure, just find a seat and wait a moment!"
After finishing speaking.
Ye Chen then turned around and went back to the kitchen counter to continue working.
……
Kaiseki cuisine exists.
Therefore, for most Japanese people, French cuisine is not their first choice for dining.
In the eyes of many, Tokyo is a better match for Western cuisine.
Whether it's the trendy Omotesando, the international Roppongi, or the long-established fashion mecca Ginza, it's all a perfect place to sit down elegantly, order a glass of champagne, and start a refined French meal.
Of course.
Neon lights, though traditional, are not conservative.
Everyone likes new things and is very discerning about food.
Whether it's a small bistro, a casual Western-style restaurant, or a high-end French restaurant or wine bar, there's no shortage of customers.
The dishes that the commander-in-chief has ordered seem to fall under the category of Japanese kaiseki cuisine, but upon closer examination, they all seem to have characteristics of French cuisine.
……
"It's really exciting."
"Let me see just how capable this person, who has recently turned the entire culinary world upside down, really is."
The commander-in-chief's eyes flickered as he watched Ye Chen return to the kitchen counter.
As the "Demon King of Food".
