Chapter 990: Homesick Food
It wasn't Xiaozhi, but the man's face looked almost exactly like Xiaozhi's, which made Heath a little confused, and it was quite like seeing Xiaogang and his father. However, this made Heath think of something. Could it be that this man was Xiaozhi's father? The man who had hardly appeared in the anime and games ? Heath thought this possibility was still very high. After all, the other person was really too similar. If he stood with Xiaozhi, he would definitely be mistaken for Xiaozhi's father or something.
"My sir, we have most of the food here. You can order first." Zoroark didn't recognize how different the man in front of her was. She just asked gently. It must be said that under Kirliain's powerful ability, Zoroark has become more serious at work. Heath is quite satisfied with this. After all, Zoroark used to be very serious at work, but now he is even more serious. It seems that he wants to restore his dignity as an old senior. Heath quite agrees with this.
After all, such healthy competition is a good thing. Although Heath thinks it is difficult for Zoroark to reach Kirlia's level, Kirlia is a Pokémon with psychic attributes. It is really cheating to use psychic powers to entertain guests. Even Heath thinks that if he to entertain a large number of guests again in the future, he will undoubtedly choose Kirlia to take over. After all, only Kirlia can handle so many guests.
Heath touched his chin and glanced at the man's request for food above his head.
[Favorite flavor: All]
[Disliked taste: None]
[Food requirements: I want to eat traditional Kanto food, the taste of my hometown]
It's very simple, but this kind of taste preference is not the first time Heath has seen it. When Heath entertained guests before, he sometimes saw this kind of taste preference. It's not strange. There are always people who are not very picky about taste, and it can even be described as very low. For these people, as long as it is not too bad, they can eat it. However, this man who looks like Xiaozhi has quite strange requirements for food. Heath guessed that this man probably traveled for a long time, so he wanted to eat traditional Kanto food.
It is said that wanderers miss their hometown. In previous lives, some people who studied abroad and worked also missed the delicious food in their hometown. This is normal. Not everyone misses the scenery of their hometown. It can only be said that homesickness is a more complicated emotion. They often need a place to put their grief, something that can really express their grief, which can be a person, a scenery, an object, or a delicious food.
"Then do you know Kanto hotpot?" Sure enough, the man mentioned a very common delicacy in the Kanto region, which is also very famous. It can even be said that the first delicacy that people think of when mentioning the Kanto region is Kanto hotpot, a food similar to hotpot, but not the same.
Zoroark looked at Heath, who nodded. Then Zoroark started collecting money, while Heath turned around and started preparing the Kanto hotpot for the customer.
The so-called Kanto hotpot, in Heath's opinion, is actually more like a big pot dish. Put the corresponding ingredients in a pot, cook them and then serve them. The only feature is the addition of Kanto sauce, and the taste is relatively light. Except for the Kanto sauce, nothing else is added, and some lemon needs to be added. Heath once considered whether to use lemon juice as a substitute, but the Kanto hotpot made was lacking in taste. At that time, Heath knew that lemon was really irreplaceable.
Lemon peel is actually a bit bitter, but when this bitterness is integrated into the Kanto pot, it gives the entire Kanto pot a unique flavor, which is also the soul of the Kanto pot. Heath also gave up the idea of innovation and honestly chose the original plan.
"Master, why do we have to throw lemon slices in?" Xiaoyao was standing next to Heath and watching. Farfetch'd was also standing aside with his hands folded. Its competition had not yet ended, but it had been confirmed to have advanced. However, the food programs were still being broadcast , and it would take some time before the finals began. In addition, the staff of the previous TV station also called and said that the finals would be arranged in the form of a live broadcast. Heath did not comment on this.
This is not surprising. Food shows are very popular recently, and some people are saying online that there might be fraud or something, so it is normal for the program team to switch to live broadcast. However, this means that Farfalle may face off against the guy known as the God of Cooking, which makes Heath unhappy. The guy who calls himself the God of Cooking is too exaggerated and likes to show off in front of the media. He doesn't look like a chef, but more like an actor.
But it's hard to say that the other party is so unique? Heath knew that there were many guys with strange behaviors in the previous competition shows. If you didn't know them, you would think they were some strange perverts. But their cooking skills are indeed good, although they are still not as good as the Onion Duck.
"Because this is Kanto hotpot. If you don't do this, it won't be Kanto hotpot." Heath answered Xiaoyao's question calmly. He found that sometimes some recipes looked strange, but these strange recipes could not be changed. If they were changed even a little bit, the taste of the whole dish would change drastically and become unpalatable. No wonder the recipes of some specialties are sometimes controlled so strictly. After all, a small mistake can lead to a big mistake in the food industry.
"Eh? Lemon peel is so bitter." Xiaoyao still couldn't quite understand, but that was normal. In children's minds, bitterness is often difficult to accept. Medicine tastes bitter. Xiaoyao had taken Chinese medicine when she was sick before, and it was so bitter that she cried.
"Xiaoyao, you have to know that sometimes bitterness is also a taste in life. What's more, it is this hint of sour bitterness that makes the whole Kanto pot a real Kanto pot." Heath smiled. When he was a child, he didn't like eating bitter melon. He felt that eating bitter melon was like eating shit. When he grew up, he liked eating bitter melon. Although he would frown every time he ate it, he still finished it.
Life is much more bitter than bitter gourd.
