Chapter 642 High-End Ingredients Are Often Only

Chapter 642 High-end ingredients are often only...

This was the first time that Song Lan reported a false identity in the process of sincerity for sincerity, but before coming to the second district, he had heard that there was no sincerity between big families, and a sincere heart would only result in the other party stabbing you in the back.

Now it seems that even the head maid of the Iris Consortium is no exception.

She never planned to tell him her name, so from now on, he is Rob Lucci with a talking vulture on his shoulder.

In the following process of getting along, Song Lan gradually discovered the unusualness of the head maid.

For example, there is a leg ring at the root of her thigh under the hem of her skirt, and a total of five shining throwing knives are pinned in the leg ring.

No wonder Mrs. Kalida's guards were so confident to hand themselves over to the head maid. It seems that this head maid is also a combat-type maid.

"It's amazing. I never thought there would be such cooking skills."

The head maid watched the whole process of his cooking.

However, unlike the knights of the Royal Guard, she stood less than two meters away from Song Lan the whole time, carefully observing his movements in handling each ingredient. Her sapphire-like pupils emitted a soft light. Song Lan knew that the head maid was using her artificial eyes to record the work.

When she encountered something she didn't understand, she would humbly ask for advice until she understood the role of each seasoning brought by Song Lan.

The head maid was very smart.

She also studied cooking very well. From the questions she asked, it can be judged that she is definitely not a lazy person who doesn't know the difference between grains.

Song Lan couldn't help but think of the 13 chefs mentioned by the other party, and suddenly realized that during the time they were sent back home, it was probably the head maid who was responsible for the diet of the important members of the consortium.

It really deserves to be the leading consortium of the United Government, with such a combat-type maid who has full life skills and takes into account beauty and demeanor.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for Song Lan to have too much affection for the head maid.

Although she had been speaking softly and showing him enough respect, it reminded him of the scene in Breaking Bad.

The head maid was indeed learning from him sincerely, but her purpose was probably to kick him away after learning all his skills.

"I didn't expect you to be interested in cooking."

"This is also part of the job. I admire your skills, so I need to make sure that if you die one day, I can keep these skills."

There it is again.

The black-bellied head maid always smiles and says something creepy out of the blue.

Then she laughed like a silver bell again, "Just kidding, just kidding, I don't always learn from others, just like the 13 chefs invited by the consortium before, they have nothing worth learning from them, I see something different from them in you."

"What do you mean?"

"Craftsmanship, I think only those who have devoted their lives to food can explore these skills."

To be honest, Song Lan blushed when the maid praised him.

He didn't have the craftsmanship at all, he just copied the recipes left by those old craftsmen, and he never planned to devote his life to food.

After a few words of conversation, the maid returned to the work itself, "Chili, cumin, pepper, these are all very irritating seasonings, why do you focus on using them in all the dishes? I remember you just told me that the balance of taste is very important in a perfect recipe."

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Song Lan also asked back jokingly.

"The truth."

"This is out of my selfishness."

"Selfishness?"

"The 13 chefs you invited before all presented their masterpieces to the young lady, but how many of them have been tasted by the young lady?"

"...No, the young lady has been relying on nutritional injections to survive recently."

When answering, the head maid's tone was also mixed with a strong sense of frustration. Not only the 13 chefs, but even the dishes she carefully prepared were only glanced at coldly by Isabel and let her put them aside.

"Right, no matter how delicious the dish is, if the other party doesn't taste it, they won't be able to appreciate the secret."

Song Lan continued, "According to my observation, your cooking method is mainly roasting, which can indeed maximize the original taste of the ingredients, but once it is cooled, it will completely make people lose their appetite... So as a chef, the first thing I have to consider is how to make the young lady interested in the dishes."

As he spoke, Song Lan poured the chopped pepper and chili into the pot. The aroma that instantly came to her nose made the maid's heart tremble. This extremely impactful smell made her sniff several more times.

As the ingredients continued to stir-fry in the pot, the entire kitchen was bathed in this appetizing aroma.

She even forgot to record Song Lan's skills for a while, and her eyes fell on Song Lan's profile for a long time. I don't know if it was an illusion. This chef who came from a neutral country had a kind of indescribable demeanor. His erudition in the field of cooking made her want to have a more in-depth exchange with him.

"Taste needs to be felt through tasting, but vision and smell are different. This is the first impact of food. The seasonings I choose are to maximize the 'color' and 'fragrance' specialty."

This is the result of Song Lan's long-term practice, because for him, food is closely related to the happiness of his life.

In the past, in order to get vacation, he had to bribe Supervisor Lu.

However, Manager Lu has always been a strong-willed person, and she has reprimanded and rejected his bribery methods. She threatened that even if she did not have dinner tonight and was hungry, she would not be able to approve Song Lan's vacation again.

He had encountered the same problem.

For this reason, he racked his brains and tried his best, and finally defeated his supervisor's psychological defense with Sichuan cuisine.

Thinking of this, Song Lan suddenly felt a surge of strength. Although Lu Xiang was not here now, he suddenly felt like fighting alongside her.

"The characteristics of 'color' and 'scent'..."

The head maid muttered to herself.

This was an area she had never touched before, yet it was easy to understand when it came from Song Lan's mouth.

The aroma had already enveloped her, and the rosy and translucent dishes seemed to be sending her an invitation with an invisible voice. She even wanted to put her identity as head maid out of her mind for the time being and explore this place in person, which condensed Song Lan's knowledge and experience. The crystallization of theory.

No, this is the lady's dinner.

Maybe it can really reawaken the young lady’s appetite!

She thought silently in her heart and had unprecedented confidence in Song Lan's results.

Until an unexpected voice interrupted her thoughts.

——"This is where the fragrance comes from."

A young man strode into the kitchen, followed by two Guards knights.

Song Lan noticed that the emblem on the knight's chest was different from those he had encountered before, and he guessed that the young man should come from another family in the consortium.

The head maid quickly confirmed his suspicion. She bowed respectfully to the young man, "Master Frantin."

"Looks like you finally found a good cook."

After sizing up Song Lan, the young man looked at the freshly cooked dishes beside the stove with interest.

"Master Frantin, this belongs to the eldest lady..."

"Huh? Are you talking about something?"

Frantin ignored the head maid's persuasion, picked up the tableware in front of her, and enjoyed the food as if no one else was around.

Seeing this, the head maid didn't speak anymore. She lowered her head, with a hint of evil in her eyes.

For a moment, the only sound left in the kitchen was the sound of the young man chewing.

"Yes, the common people outside can finally bring some new tricks."

After tasting a few bites of each dish, a smile appeared on the young man's face and he ordered the knight behind him, "Take these back and give them to others to taste."

The knight faithfully performed the task given by the young man. The young man glanced at Song Lan arrogantly and said, "I am Frantin Monk. I admire your craftsmanship, but you should not waste it on For those who don't appreciate it, come and work for us...Don't rush to answer, you can think about it carefully."

…

The knights of the Guards not only packed the dishes, but also brought back the remaining ingredients.

This made Song Lan realize that things were not simple.

Frantin Monk was not a glutton attracted here by the smell. Everything he did seemed to be to prevent Isabel from having dinner.

Or, to be more precise, he simply wanted to provoke Isabel, and the entire Gilvis family.
