Chapter 373

Although he had seen it many times before, every time he saw Kurase's reaction just now, Wen Shengzai still couldn't help but feel strange.

Delicious cuisine can make people unable to stop, he could understand this point, but even if the cuisine is delicious, for the reaction to be this big, it's truly a bit outrageous, right?

Those who know clearly know that you are eating cuisine; those who don't would think you were drugged!

However, seeing Kurase's reaction just now, although Wen Shengzai's expression was a bit strange, his heart still felt a little sense of achievement at this moment.

After all, before, only the dishes made by his cheap mother Aunt Wenren Aunt Wenren Qingying could make people enter such a state, but now he, Wen Shengzai, could finally drug others too!

"This makes no sense, why is it so delicious? It's only been a short week... even if you spent this whole week researching fried rice, it's impossible to have such a big improvement in a short time."

Wanting to become an excellent chef is not something that can be achieved overnight, but requires a large accumulation of technique and experience.

In short, Soma Yukihira didn't believe that Wen Shengzai could improve his culinary skills to this level in a short time.

Then there was only one possibility: this kid Wen Shengzai had been hiding his skills before, and his purpose was to amaze everyone in front of him.

First, show weakness to the enemy, making himself feel that his strength was very weak, and then run out at a critical moment to slap his own face.

Based on his understanding of him as they grew up together, this kid was indeed someone who could do such a thing.

After all, when the two played together since childhood, Wen Shengzai often told him about some so-called "protagonist face-slapping" plots, and this kid Wen Shengzai was clearly acting as such a cool-novel protagonist now.

Kurase on the side didn't pay attention to Soma Yukihira's thoughts and emotions; she only felt that the seafood fried rice Wen Shengzai made was incomparably delicious, so now she just kept sending spoonful after spoonful into her mouth.

It's not that Kurase hadn't eaten seafood fried rice, but this was the first time she had eaten seafood fried rice with such a special taste as Wen Shengzai's.

Every mouthful of seafood fried rice she ate, she could feel herself surrounded by the vast ocean, and swimming in the ocean, she not only saw a large number of fish, shrimp, and squid swimming around her, but also saw Wen Shengzai holding her hand, smiling at her.

Honestly speaking, although the seafood fried rice made by Joichiro Yukihira before was also delicious, the taste of the fried rice made by Wen Shengzai now made her even more unforgettable!

Seeing Kurase's expression, Soma Yukihira didn't even need to ask the other party whether the seafood fried rice he made was more delicious or the one Wen Shengzai made was more delicious; he had already gotten the answer from Kurase's face.

Soma Yukihira, who wouldn't give up, thought that Kurase would have such a performance, it might also be because of Wen Shengzai's filter bonus, so he unwillingly scooped up another spoonful of fried rice and sent it into his mouth.

If it was said that when eating the first mouthful, Soma Yukihira didn't taste it carefully because he was surprised by Wen Shengzai's level, then he could experience more from this second mouthful.

Fried rice has high requirements for heat control. Fried rice made by an excellent chef can even make the rice grains distinct and fully flavorful.

Through the texture of the rice, Soma Yukihira could feel that Wen Shengzai's control over heat had already far surpassed him.

And besides the texture, also as a chef, Soma Yukihira soon tasted the special features of Wen Shengzai's dishes.

The hardest thing to deal with in seafood fried rice is the fishy smell brought by seafood. Wanting to ensure the freshness brought by the seafood in the fried rice while removing the fishy smell is not a simple matter.

"Is it cilantro? No... not just cilantro, there is also a special taste..."

When eating the third mouthful, the fourth mouthful, and even after eating more than half of the seafood fried rice on the plate, Soma Yukihira finally tasted what that special fragrance was.

"It's ginger powder. You used a small amount of ginger ground into powder and added it to the fried rice to remove the fishy smell brought by the seafood.

But ginger powder alone shouldn't have such freshness, so besides cilantro and ginger powder, you must have used other things."

Seeing Soma Yukihira scratching his head, Wen Shengzai on the side also smiled and directly revealed the answer.

"Besides cilantro and ginger powder, I also appropriately added some broth boiled from chicken racks.

Chicken soup can enhance freshness, but the broth itself will destroy the dryness and wetness of the fried rice, so while adding the broth, it must be instantly evaporated with absolute high temperature, and this freshness must be firmly locked into the fried rice."

Hearing Wen Shengzai's explanation, Soma Yukihira was directly surprised, because if Wen Shengzai hadn't directly revealed the answer, he wouldn't even have been able to taste that Wen Shengzai had added chicken soup to the fried rice.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Soma Yukihira had to say that Wen Shengzai's seafood fried rice, whether from the control of heat or the processing of ingredients, as well as the deliciousness of the dish, had already surpassed him.

No, I'm afraid it's not just surpassing him; even his dad's seafood fried rice was slightly inferior to Wen Shengzai's!

"Not bad, whether it's the processing of ingredients, technique, or the ingenious way of enhancing freshness, your seafood fried rice has already surpassed what I and Yukihira made.

You kid hid it really deep. Before, I even thought that your mother didn't teach you carefully, or that your talent was limited."

When Soma Yukihira and the others were eating fried rice, they didn't notice at all that the fragrance emitted by the seafood fried rice had already attracted Joichiro Yukihira next door.

And after snatching the spoon from Soma Yukihira's hand and eating a mouthful of Wen Shengzai's seafood fried rice, Joichiro Yukihira also gave such an objective evaluation.

Hearing that even his own dad felt inferior to Wen Shengzai's seafood fried rice, Soma Yukihira's face also instantly showed a constipated expression.

Think of him, Soma Yukihira, who had been challenging his dad since childhood, but had suffered 488 consecutive defeats, while this kid Wen Shengzai had actually succeeded in the challenge on the first try.

Is this what he often says, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young for being poor!"

Damn it, it was really cool, but the protagonist wasn't him! The fried rice in his mouth was incomparably delicious, but Soma Yukihira felt his heart was cold.

Pain, it's really too painful! The childhood friend he thought had limited talent was actually secretly becoming stronger behind his back. This is really too sneaky!

Hearing Joichiro Yukihira's evaluation, Wen Shengzai was also quite happy, but he didn't become arrogant and look down on others because of this.

Because he himself was also quite clear that being able to win against Joichiro Yukihira this time was just a fluke.

The seafood fried rice made by Joichiro Yukihira was based on Soma Yukihira's level, which could be considered a dish he made casually.

But Wen Shengzai made this fried rice, which could be said to have used all his efforts at the current stage.
