Schaper was full of praise for Lu Yu's French roasted lamb leg with garlic. He gave it a very high evaluation. At the same time, he was also very puzzled as to why Lu Yu could make the lamb leg so tender and delicate. Moreover, the meat juice was so full that when he ate it, the meat juice burst out and the flavor was full.
Lu Yu smiled and said,""The reason is actually very simple. To make the lamb leg meat delicate and tender, it mainly depends on my cutting skills.”
Hearing this, Schaper looked at the surface of the lamb leg carefully. He saw many fine, almost imperceptible cuts on the meat. These cuts destroyed the fibers and tendons of the lamb, making it taste very delicate.
" This is a straight cut, a horizontal cut, a push cut, a pull cut..." With his rich experience, Schaper deduced that Lu Yu had used several knife techniques to process the lamb leg meat.
" No wonder the lamb leg is so delicate." Schaper looked enlightened." You used different knife techniques to make dozens of small cuts to make the lamb leg tender and soft.”
Lu Yu smiled.”
"There's a blade I didn't notice?" Schaper asked in surprise. That's right, the blade is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. This amazing cutting skill…"
The surrounding students were even more shocked when they heard this.
Mizuyama Tetsu's face darkened and he did not speak. He was also shocked by Lu Yu's knife skills. However, even though Lu Yu's knife skills were amazing, Mizuyama Tetsu was still not convinced.
Although his knife skills were not as terrifying as Lu Yu's, he still used other methods to make the mutton extremely tender.
However, judging from Schaper's attitude, he obviously preferred Lu Yu's French roasted lamb leg with garlic. Why was that?
" There's also the problem of the gravy," Schaper continued." Why is there so much gravy in the lamb leg? The gravy melted in my mouth and the flavor was so strong. It made me feel like I was on a French farm. It was so free and comfortable.”
"This is the secret of the gravy."
Lu Yu smiled and picked up something that looked like a syringe.
"This is…a syringe!"
Schaper was stunned. He looked excited as if he had just realized something."I see! So it was like this! I understand. You injected the gravy and seasoning sauce into the lamb leg meat with a syringe. This way, the lamb leg meat will be tender and juicy. What a bold idea.”
That's right. Lu Yu used a syringe to inject the sauce and gravy into the lamb leg meat. When he injected, he moved up, down, left, and right in the meat to make the sauce and gravy as evenly distributed as possible. That was why it tasted so amazing.
This cooking method was very rare. Lu Yu had learned it in a famous restaurant in Paris when he dropped out of school.
Hearing the conversation between Lu Yu and Schaper, all the students were deeply shocked. Just from their conversation, they could feel the desperate difference between their cooking and Lu Yu's.
Mizuyama Tejin was also silent.
Schaper closed his eyes slightly, as if he was still savoring the taste of Lu Yu's French roasted lamb leg with garlic. He continued,""It's been a long time since I've tasted such an amazing dish. Actually, Lu Yu, there's something I'm most puzzled about.”
"Instructor, go ahead." Lu Yu curled his lips.
Schaper was obviously very interested in Lu Yu's cooking and could not help but ask questions one after another.
" In my impression, although you were good at cooking before," Schaper said," you're good at Chinese cuisine, not French cuisine." However, this French roasted lamb leg with garlic is full of French flavor. It's the most authentic taste. It makes me feel like I'm in France and I can't forget it.”
"When did you become proficient in French cuisine?”
Schaper asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, not only did Schaper stare at Lu Yu, but Mizuyama Tejin also stared at Lu Yu.
The other students were also deep in thought and couldn't help but nod.
It wasn't just the students. Schaper's question had made Ning and Kyuga extremely curious as well.
Schaper was right. Wasn't Lu Yu proficient in Chinese cuisine? How did he become so proficient in French cuisine? He could actually make such authentic French cuisine that even Schaper couldn't stop praising.
What exactly did Lu Yu experience during the time he was absent from school?
Lu Yu's lips curled up." I've been traveling around the world recently. Of course, I've been to Paris." I once worked as a chef in a famous restaurant in Paris for half a month, and a senior gave me a lot of help. During this period, I tasted the streets and alleys of Paris, ate the most authentic French cuisine, and learned how to cook French cuisine.”
Lu Yu had traveled all over the world, but in fact, he did not have enough time to travel.
Therefore, Lu Yu chose places that represented food and culture the most, such as France and Italy, which were representative of European food culture.
Lu Yu had benefited a lot during his half a month in Paris. It was even one of the places where he had gained the most from his trip.
"I see."
Schaper nodded and suddenly said,""Then let me ask you, what does 'calf's breast meat in French cuisine refer to?”
Lu Yu was surprised by Schaper's sudden question, but he answered without hesitation,""The calf's breast is a rare ingredient. It's taken from a 3-6 month old cow that hasn't been weaned yet. At this time, the cow had not eaten grass yet. The spleen was very pure and had no peculiar smell. The meat was soft and tender, but it had a slight elasticity. At the same time, it was filled with the fragrance of meat, milk, and a kind of plant-like fragrance. This was a top-notch French cuisine ingredient.”
"Then what kind of wine is suitable for the mussel in French cuisine?”Schaper asked again.
" White wine," Lu Yu blurted out without thinking." Because white wine is a good match for green mussels. When the two are cooked together, the fresh and sweet taste will be more prominent."”
"What kind of beans are used for the French dish, braised pork with beans?”
" The beans for the braised pork must be white kidney beans, a specialty of the southwest of France," Lu Yu said.
……
Schaper kept asking questions, and Lu Yu answered them fluently.
Even when Schaper asked some unpopular questions, Lu Yu could answer them correctly with confidence. He was obviously confident.
The shock on the faces of all the students grew stronger and stronger. Even Eishama Tejin's expression gradually changed. His expression changed from disdain and unwillingness to shock and astonishment.
Seeing how Lu Yu could answer Schaper's questions so fluently, everyone was convinced that Lu Yu was proficient in French cuisine.
If this wasn't called mastery, then what was?!
Ji Zhiguo, Ning Ning, who was not far away, bit her lips. She pushed up her glasses and said in a voice that only she could hear,"This monster…"
