Chapter 47
"Let me go to the front hall?" Richel had just finished cooking, wiped his sweat, and took off his apron sleeve, while the young monk next to him exaggeratedly urged him, "Hurry up, everyone wants to see you. "
Richel smiled slightly, and bumped his arm against the waist of the person beside him, "Come with me, seeing so many people, I feel a little shy."
Adrian naturally had no objection.
The monk led the two of them out of the kitchen and down a long corridor.
On the left is the corridor wall with statues and shrines, and on the right, there are dome French windows one after another, and the white moonlight filtered by the transparent glass spreads all over the floor, leaving shadows of horizontal branches.
Passing through the corridor, there is a large room ahead, and Richel doesn't know what it is used for. There are some chairs in the corner against the wall. The denser it is, the darker the color, and finally a magnificent oil painting is painted on the huge vaulted dome.
"Is this what you mean by simplicity and asceticism?" Adrian teased in a low voice, "It's really bitter, and the eyes are so troubled that they can't rest."
Richel choked, "I was naive."
It was the most ornate decoration he had ever seen here.
It's not kind, even if you give them such a small salary, they have to eat a lot.
"You will know in the future, none of these monks is good."
"You were tricked by them?" Why did you look bitter and bitter.
"Impossible, your partner is smart."
"Being able to say this can only prove that you are not very smart." Richel looked contemptuously.
"Two, please." The monk stood still and opened a door for them.
The monks in the hall looked at their corner together, their eyes were burning and eager.
Just now, I just lied to Adrian about what he made up casually, but now it has come true.
With so many people staring at him, he is not an orator, and it is hard not to be nervous.
"My lord bishop is there." The monk gestured towards him.
"Oh...oh." Richel had already seen the dignified person at the top.
He tried his best to keep calm and walked there, his hanging hand brushed against the hand next to him inadvertently, and was immediately firmly grasped by it.
Richer's heart skipped a beat, he glanced at Adrian hurriedly, lowered his head, and smiled on the corner of his lips.
"If you're nervous, just say so."
"Well, I'm nervous." Adrian admitted without hesitation, "You have to hold me back so that I don't make a fool of myself."
"Okay." Richel bent his fingers and held his hand back.
When the two walked to the front of the hall, Richel cast aside countless gazes, then let go of his sweaty hands, and bowed to the bishop in the middle of the head.
Adrian moved slightly when he saw him salute.
"Are you the chef who made this bear's paw?" The bishop's gentle tone revealed a little excitement.
I heard that bears are especially fat before winter. Looking at this shape, it is true.
Where are these delicacies that they have the opportunity to eat.
One bear's paw per table, what kind of power and financial resources can provide so many bears.
"It's not a bear's paw." Richer said truthfully, "It's a vegetarian bear's paw."
"Is there any difference?" Everyone wondered.
The bear's five toes, sharp nails, and the pads on the feet, even the color looks like a bear's paw, very fat, tender and juicy.
"Please allow me to decipher the mystery for you." Richel looked at the cutlery on their table and asked, "Is there a meat-cutting knife here?"
On and off the stage, a group of people raised a pair of shining big knives and looked at the two of them.
Richel was so frightened that he hugged Adrian beside him.
This is not a monk who is devoutly serving the master of the monastery, he is clearly a thug who wants to fight.
Adrian smiled unkindly when he saw him leaning on his arm and looking around vigilantly.
"How do I cut it?" asked the deacon next to the bishop.
"This one……"
A tentacle rolled over the knife in his hand, "Let me divide it."
Richel let go of his hand, his face was a little embarrassed, he was just dazzled by the light of the knife.
After being so scared, he calmed down a lot.
"How to cut it, dear."
"Whatever you want." He whispered, "Just break the skin."
With a random stroke, Adrian broke the bear's paw facing the bishop.
"Swipe a few more times." Richel said anxiously, cutting a slit with a knife, but still couldn't see what was inside.
"Such a beautiful shape, I can't bear it."
Richel snatched the knife himself, and scratched the bear's paw several times vertically and horizontally, picking up a piece of skin.
The skin of the brown-red and shiny bear's paw was broken, and everyone looked over in amazement.
Thick khaki peas, light brown and cool diced mushrooms, and a charming golden granule, all covered with a layer of brown-red translucent sauce, the color is bright, they were really surprised by the lifelike bear paw before, now Looking at these, I didn't feel much surprise.
Richer took a piece of the belt with the vegetables inside and put them on the bishop's plate together.
"Try it."
Knowing that these were not real bear's paws, everyone's interest faded a lot, and they also cut the bear's paws on their table and shared some with each other.
The Bishop spooned the dish into his mouth.
When I first tasted it, there was a familiar aroma of sauce, which I also had in another dish tonight.
Fried kidney.
This taste is so unique that it is unforgettable once you eat it.
After a careful taste, it is different from that dish.
The vegetarian dishes inside are not only bright in color, tasted in the mouth, the sauce is rich, crisp and sweet.
The most unique thing is the outer skin, which is smooth and tender in the tendons. It is not made of meat, vegetables or flour. They can't taste what it is, but after eating it, people can't help but be curious and want to have another bite.
"What is this?" His Excellency Bishop simply and straightforwardly asked the doubts in their hearts.
They have never eaten bear's paws, but the vegetarian bear's paws that are within reach in front of them have already brought them enough shock, which is different from any previous food.No matter the appearance or taste, it is unique.
So many years later, one or two of them were lucky enough to taste the real bear's paw, but they were disgusted by the fishy smell of the beast. They missed this dish and Richel's superb cooking skills even more. chef is angry.
"Tofu, my lord." Richel said, "Steamed and fried, and finally boiled in marinade, it finally became this kind of texture."
They don't know anything about these cooking methods, let alone what is tofu.
That didn't stop them from admiring.
This night, everyone tasted soft bread, mellow soup, delicious steak, and the most amazing thing was this vegetarian bear paw.
The appearance is rare, but the inside is surprising, and the raw materials of the food are even more curious, like treasures that are always waiting for them to dig out the mystery.
"The taste is very rich and harmonious, as if you have traveled to a foreign country and tasted extraordinary food." His Excellency Bishop did not hesitate to praise him.
The vicars nodded.
Seeing that they were all puzzled and suddenly realized, Richel introduced: "The raw material is beans, and this dish uses all vegetarian dishes, not only this one, but also other fried kidneys, which are also all vegetarian dishes, kidney It's made with mushrooms."
For a moment, everyone was surprised, even the bishop was surprised.
The peas in the bear's paw are completely different from the outer skin used for modeling. No matter how they think about it, they can't imagine any connection between the two.
What's more, the bishop's taste buds clearly tasted the taste of pork loin, and when he said it swearingly, it didn't make people think that even the raw materials were outrageously wrong.
But no one remembered his words, because they hadn't thought of them at all.
"You all have tasted sweetness in the food, right?" Seeing that they were all silent and didn't bring it up, Richel simply took the initiative to guide them.
"Indeed." A deacon next to him unconsciously pursed his lower lip, tasted the marinade around his lips, and realized it belatedly.
"I added sugar." Richel took out the well-prepared maltose cubes.
The shock that everyone received tonight could not be more.
They even felt that they would not be surprised at the next moment if he said that he had the king's treasury.
"You, where did you get the candy?" Could it be that this is a nobleman?How could you spend candy like this?
"It's a secret." Richel laughed.
In their eyes, Richer's smile is full of mystery, just as unpredictable as his dark brown eyes.
"This is the most special chef I've ever seen and the most special dish I've ever tasted since I've been working in various parts of the mainland for so many years." He smiled and said to the deacons on the left and right, and then looked at Richel, "Which one are you? The chef of the restaurant? I want to know the address, if you have time, go and sit down."
"Hotel and restaurant, my lord." Richel's voice was crisp and clear, "Our restaurant has private room service to fully ensure the privacy of every customer. We also have the best vegetarian dishes in the whole continent, and we strive to make every race, Every profession, every customer, can experience the joy of eating."
He originally wanted to use the bear paw shape to shock everyone, attract the monks' attention in a curious way, and leave an impression in their hearts.
Until just now, he discovered that these stingy monks had too much money and lived in extremely gorgeous places, how could he let them go.
He wanted to earn money from the nobles of Liberty City, and he didn't even want to let go of the monks' pockets.
As soon as the words came out, the bishop didn't know, but everyone in Liberty City knew about this restaurant.
It turned out to be the one selling soy sauce chicken.
"Ah, is he the cook of that family? I thought he had found someone somewhere to attract attention."
"He has such a good cooking skill at such a young age, how did his brain grow?"
The faces of the chefs were embarrassed, and they showed off the cooking skills they learned from him in front of Richel in the afternoon, intentionally or unintentionally watching him make jokes, but they didn't expect that they would end up being a joke in the eyes of others.
Of course, Richel didn't have time to laugh at them. Wouldn't it be nice to make money with this time?
The eight-bearded chef looked at his steak. The few vegetarian dishes that were so cheap that only the humblest commoners would buy them could compare with his steak, and his heart grew more and more unwilling.
