”Preparation method: preheat oven to 200 °C bake the pumpkin in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the pumpkin becomes soft”
”Ke Song, why do we have to bake the pumpkin?”
Lin Ke Song thought about it, seeing the i baked in her mind, and suddenly understood: ”to maintain the freshness and soft texture of the pu the pue of texture and softness”
”so?” Jiang Qian Fan asked lightly
At thatcame around
”So it's the sahtly fry the carrots then put them into the oven till they become soft!”
”En” Jiang Qian Fan slowly turned to face her, ”Ke Song, it's a very easy thing to learn toas you have the recipe, or a demonstration, with your ood Bruce made his food, it was all only a repetition of hisprocess”
Was this hi her analyse her opponent?
”If it were a dish you guys have never seen before, or tasked to redients, do you knohat you should do?”
”I do not”
”The first step, is to do a taste deconstruction To find those ingredients you can see, and still not let you and your opponents differentiate On the contrary, those whose sense of taste that are weaker will be unable to recognise which flavours belong to which ingredients, you will have to depends on your taste buds In this regard, you're far stronger than Bruce”
Lin Ke Song blinked her eyes, was Jiang Qian Fan praising her?
”The second step, is process deconstruction Every dish's fusion of the ingredients, the cookingthe presentation of the food's foruish if the dish was fried, baked or charcoaled When each seasoning or pairing ingredient was added, all depends on you tasting in detail Apart from your taste buds, you need to have the ability to think, to attack three folds back, and even experience If you only learn to make certain dishes, and you yourself are unable to think about why each step is done, you will forever kno to make those few dishes, and lack the ability to explore yourself This world has thousands of thousands of ingredients combinations, does it mean that if I never teach you the recipe, you'd be unable to cook those dishes?”
So, Jiang Qian Fan was saying, thiswas to let her be able to think for herself
Bruce looked outstanding, but it was only doing all the things that his ht him to
”The third step, is to ree Some foods, people may find delicious, because of the balance of the taste and texture These need not only experience, but also the ability to control the cooking duration, the control of weight, and even the prediction of the thickness or thinness when cutting the ingredients These, need experience You lack experience, same as the other participants, you are all on the sa track, there is no further need to talk about your more sensitive sense of taste compared to the others, so I totally do not understand your reason of self-deprecation”
He said it like she was self-deprecating, but he was actually acknowledging her
”Thank you, Mr Jiang”
”Do you have any other questions?”
Jiang Qian Fan raised his chin slightly His side profile gave off an extreht
Lin Ke Song went silent, but she had no way to restrain the question in her heart
”Then, what if I lose? What if I don't enter top three, and can't even enter top six?”
”Do you like cooking?”
”What?”
”What I refer to is not expending all your energies to be passionate for it So, you acknowledge that it is a for it?”
”Yes, I acknowledge that”
Lin Ke Song was totally sure of that answer
”Then I am very pleased It's not i No one can use your one-time victory to critic my life And no one can use your one tis that I make you do, then properly enjoy the process It is only one activity that you enjoy doing”
”then…… what about you, Mr Jiang?”
”do you think that for the month that you've spent beside me, you've made no improvements at all?”
Lin Ke Song did not knohere the extent of her improvements reached
”You have learned to deconstruct the tastes of food, e years of experience for this ability, and it fell into your hands You learned to pursue perfection in failure Like your mushrooreatest i that a delicious food is plainly delicious I enjoy the process of teaching you”
Jiang Qian Fan picked up a napkin, and wiped the corners of his o ba”
”To where?”
”Of course it's to the kitchen Since you already have the sense of urgency, then ill start to learn the real thing”
Lin Ke Song looked to Mayer as standing at the side, Mayer nodded at her, and took the tablet
She followed behind, and walked through the long corridor Everything was the sa
It was only the view of a back, but it was tall and straight as the mountains, and yet like the clouds that were difficult to touch, it looked like it was still and wandering
As long as it was following behind him, it would produce a desire to chase
This kind of htly
When Jiang Qian Fan opened the door of the kitchen, Lin Ke Song knew that there was one last question, if she did not clear it up, this question will turn rivers and overturn oceans in her head, and she would never be able to do another thing without thinking about it
”Why did you kiss me yesterday?”
When she asked that out loud, her heart was practically bursting through the roof
Her voice echoed, everything became stillness
Jiang Qian Fan ht lift his cane to knock her head
But his pace was cale
Only when he reached the front of the counter, did he turn around to lean on it
Lin Ke Song hardly sees hiht, without any intention to avoid or hide himself, his quiet eyebrows did not need any extra expressions to touch people
”Because I've never told you that, I like you”
Everything quietened down, but it felt like there histling past Lin Ke Song's ears, tugging her hair, taking all of her away
Whatever Jiang Qian Fan said, every word, every sentence, was crystal clear
”What?” she tilted her head, felt like the words ”like you” had a greater impact than yesterday's kiss
To kiss a person, is but an action
To say ”I like you” is to label the action
”because I've never told you that, I like you”
He repeated
Whenever Jiang Qian Fan spoke, he hardly repeated himself His voice was very pretty, ethereal and sorrowful
”You…… how can you like me?”
Lin Ke Song felt that she was sleepwalking She should give a painful pinch to her thigh!
Jiang Qian Fan liked her? Like what? Like how? Why would he like?
Lin KE Song had originally thought of getting an answer to a question, didn't think that she would incur more questions instead
”like you more than all the people around you Now you should be more confident”
Lin Ke Song was about to tear
So For example, the main point of this conversation was probably ”confident”, and not ”like you” Because noQian Fan would ”like” anyone, needless to say that the person is her This wasn't fro of hi ice block would understand what it meant by ”like”!
Jiang Qian Fan had counter her question before, asking whether he wasn't encoh, but like and the kiss and whatever, is totally out of the world!
But Jiang Qian Fan had already offered his ”like you”, to help her gain iven his all!
”Mr Jiang! I' towards irl, and…… yesterday's kiss and the ga this……”
Lin Ke Song wanted to say that it was ”barbaric behaviour”, but who has ever seen such handsoangster”?
”You like it when I kiss you, isn't that right?” Jiang Qian Fan asked gently
Instantly, the feel of Jiang Qian Fan's tongue, his overbearing and strength, and even the feeling of sliding across her teeth entered her head again
”…… never!” Lin Ke Song retorted without thought
”Lies”
Again! Again! The big ice block's killingeffect!
”Howretorted in anger
Her lips were still a little swollen when she was brushi+ng her teeth this
”If that didn't happen, you would still definitely be thinking that you were not up to par with Bruce, or thinking of ways to hurt yourself to drop out of the co of my kiss, and not any other rubbish”
Jiang Qian Fan had already turned around, and gone to the refrigerator, choosing steak
Indeed, she hadn't been thinking about what Iris had said for the whole night, but Jiang Qian Fan
This was obviously more serious than Iris ba!
”Mr Jiang, let not this kind of thing happen again in the future…… I believe that no matter how depressed I a seriously said
Jiang Qian Fan's eyebrows raised up
”If you were really confident, you wouldn't have this kind of thoughts”
What thoughts?
