Chapter 868 The Taste of Mom
Bait kuai is a specialty food from Yunnan Province. It tastes very good and is eaten a lot. Roasted Bait kuai is just one of the many ways to eat it. But in fact, this way of eating it is also very good. That's what Heath thinks. In fact, what Heath doesn't know is that the roasted Bait kuai he made is somewhat close to Mr. Sakaki's childhood memories, so Mr. Sakaki has remembered it until now. But what Mr. Sakaki is more curious about now is how the Bait kuai made by Heath is made.
Mr. Sakaki is actually a very good chef. Although his cooking skills are still a little worse than Heath's, among a group of non-professional chefs, Mr. Sakaki can definitely be called a very good chef. But even so, Mr. Sakaki did not understand how Heath's bait was made, which made Sakaki very curious, so this time he simply sat opposite Heath and watched Heath cook seriously. Heath didn't care, after all, Sakaki's age and gender were there, and he was actually very clear in his heart about what Sakaki wanted to do. After all, Heath knew that Mr. Sakaki was a very good chef.
Maybe he wants to learn from me? That's what Heath thought. But even if Mr. Sakaki really wants to learn how to make bait blocks, Heath doesn't care. The process of making bait blocks is not that complicated. The only thing to note is that this time we are making roasted bait blocks, so the bait blocks need to be round. They can't be too thin, but they can't be too thick. The thickness should be moderate. If it's too thin, it can't be wrapped with fried dough sticks or chicken fillets. If it's too thick, it will affect the taste. So the thickness needs to be moderate.
It has to be said that in the art of cooking, the words "moderate" and "appropriate" are very annoying. How much is moderate? How much is appropriate? These questions are very worthy of consideration, but Heath himself has no concerns. After all, the preparation of this thing is still very simple, and he has made it many times.
Soon, one round bait block after another appeared on Heath's table. Mr. Sakaki also understood how Heath made the bait blocks, which made him laugh. He remembered that when he was a child, his mother once made him a kind of food that was very similar , but Sakaki's memory was not so deep at that time, so Sakaki was not clear about what his mother had made. He only remembered that thing was delicious, and after eating the bait blocks made by Heath, Sakaki found that thing was somewhat similar to the bait blocks made by Heath, which made Sakaki feel a little nostalgic, but this time looking at how Heath made the bait blocks, Sakaki was very sure that the delicacy in his memory was definitely not bait blocks.
"Grandma Joel, why do you think Mr. Sakaki and Mr. Heath seem to have a close relationship?" Xiaoxia, who had finished her meal and was drinking lemonade, looked at Heath and Sakaki curiously and asked. As a girl, although she was still very young and did not have much life experience, she could still see that Heath and Sakaki had a close relationship.
"Don't you know? Boss Heath was from Changqing City before. His cooking skills are so good, isn't it normal that he is popular?" Grandma Joel was very calm. She had rich life experience and she naturally knew the saying that there are top talents in every profession. Although cooking seems to be just a small trick, in fact, those who can make a name for themselves in this industry are not much worse than those in other industries. It can even be said that these chefs who are very successful are more popular than those in other professions.
After all, people need to eat, this is inevitable. Even the gym leader of Evergreen City like Sakaki, or even Heath's girlfriend, Miss Takeran, all need to eat. And when people eat, as long as they have no sense of taste at all, they will naturally have their own evaluation of the good or bad of food. The evaluation of food is, to a certain extent, the evaluation of the chef's cooking skills. The better the food cooked by a chef, the more people will naturally go to him. This is a very normal thing.
But other than that...
Grandma Joel thought about the dumplings she had just eaten. They tasted delicious. Moreover, the chef Heath also had a good personality. He was very gentle and a good person. Perhaps Heath's personal charm and character were also a key factor in making someone like Sakaki his good friend?
"Hey, Heath, I want to ask... something..." Mr. Sakaki was eating grilled rice cakes. This time, the grilled rice cakes made by Heath were still the same, wrapped with fried dough sticks, and then sweet and salty. Heath also added some shredded potatoes, pickles and bean sprouts, so such a serving of grilled rice cakes that only cost three and a half Alliance coins is actually enough for an adult man to eat.
"What?" Heath wiped his kitchen utensils, then looked at Sakaki curiously. Just like Joel thought, he and Sakaki did have a good relationship, but behind this good relationship there was actually something else hidden, such as Heath's complicated emotions towards Sakaki. Because he knew that Sakaki was the boss of Team Rocket, he was actually very entangled in his relationship with Sakaki, but on the surface, Heath would never reveal this.
"It's just... my mother used to make a kind of delicacy. I ate it when I was a child. It feels very similar to your grilled rice cake, but I don't know what it is. Do you have any ideas?" Sakaki looked at Heath with some expectation. Heath was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought. It must be said that this question was very difficult. He had seen Sakaki's requirements for food before, but the requirements above were for grilled rice cakes, and there was no trace of other delicacies.
Human memory is a very magical thing, and often has some beautifying functions. Especially after growing up and experiencing the death of one's mother, the delicious food made by the mother will be infinitely deified in people's memory. In other words, the taste of the mother in memory is a very metaphysical thing. Even if it is really reproduced according to the method of the mother in memory, there may be problems of one kind or another. What's more, Sakaki has no idea what his mother is making, which makes this even more difficult.
"Maybe it's a kind of..." Heath planned to explain it according to the culinary method.
