Good soy sauce, good water, good spice, what else? While it is pretty good, what could be improved? Chef has no new inspiration and spends all his time on the dishes, in addition to the high-end Spanish Michelin dishes, he also begins to practice his mission "Tasty Easy Simple". For environmental protection reasons, carbon emissions are also considered, the cooking time should be short, and food waste should be reduced to reduce the waste of ingredients. He starts to measure cooking time with a timer, how to reduce cooking time, and calculate carbon emissions to create recipes and cooking methods that are environmentally friendly, delicious, easy, suitable for anyone, and complete practice with "Tasty Easy Simple".
Winter is coming, Chef also wants to change the environment, where to go? What ingredients or flavors can provide the best quality in the cold winter? After thinking about it many times, a bright spot comes out. Sake and wine are the best partners for food, why not put wine in the sauce to increase the food taste? There are multiple good locations for producing sake in Japan, and each location has a unique taste and method of production. Because of the winter, Chef decides to go to Niigata, a location where sake is produced on a glacier.
Facing the Sea of Japan, Niigata has a total area of about 5.74 times that of Tokyo, making it the fifth-largest prefecture in Japan. Unlike the central part of Niigata, which is densely populated with high-rise buildings, if you go to the mountains, there is natural scenery that you can enjoy, such as the terraced fields of Cingjin Gorge and Hoshitoge. It can be said that it is an area where the city and nature coexist. Along with Kurobe Gorge in Toyama Prefecture and Osugi Valley in Mie Prefecture, "Cyotsu Gorge" is one of the "three major canyons in Japan". It was designated as a National Scenic Spot and Natural Monument in 1941 and is one of Niigata's representative scenic spots. The huge V-shaped Grand Canyon shows the beauty of the four seasons in spring when the green nature is refreshing and autumn when the trees are dyed red. Another unique attraction is the "terraced rice paddies", which are stepped on slopes such as mountains and valleys. Tokamachi City's "Hoshitoge Terraced Fields" is famous for its beautiful Hoshitoge terraced fields in the center of the city, which is full of terraced fields.
At this time, it is winter, and the sky shows a gray tone. All the clouds gather together, push and shove, and finally cannot bear the weight, so they turn into pieces of snow. If the Milky Way is tilted, the tide surges, covering everything on the earth in an instant. Everything is finally immersed in white, and as if all melting together, the snow stops. Houses, trees, and vehicles are all dressed up playfully by Snow Boys. At a glance, those abrupt steel and concrete buildings are transformed into elegant buildings, and those brightly colored cars are involuntarily painted with a layer of white paint. At this time, the big tree that shields the wind and rain also jumps into this vibrant color, and everything becomes so charming, soft, and peaceful. Chef, Ash, and the little parrot drive to Niigata, at the beginning, they meet the icy road. The road is too slippery, and the car with about 5 tons skids on one side of the cliff and the other side of the cliff. Fortunately, they encounter a more experienced rich donkey friend on the way to reopening.
Chef and his entourage continue their journey and come to Niigata. The number of Japanese sake breweries in Niigata Prefecture ranks first in Japan, among them, "Tamagawa Brewery" located in Uonuma City has a long-standing reputation. Niigata Prefecture has a lot of snowfall, and the amount of snowfall is usually more than 3 meters. Tamagawa Brewery often sees thick snow, and when the snow is the highest, it can accumulate to 4 to 5 meters, forming a snow wall higher than a person. The entrance of Tamagawa Shuzo is covered with snow, and the wooden buildings are hidden in the snow.
The brewing of Tamagawa Shuzo started about 340 years ago, and it has a long history that ranks among the top three in Niigata Prefecture. The brewers have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are constantly improving the traditional techniques and the taste of the sake. Japanese breweries will hang the ball-shaped ornament "Sugiyama" made of cedar leaves to calculate the brewing time. When the leaves gradually turn from green to brown, which means that the wine has been brewed. The rice that is used as the raw material for Japanese sake is called "sake rice", and it is produced by specialized rice farmers, specialized rice farmers, and specialized breweries, combining the power of the two to make delicious Japanese sake. Tamagawa Shuzo employees also help rice farmers by participating in planting and harvesting, to brew more delicious sake, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of sake rice in detail. Another important factor that determines the taste of Japanese sake is water, the water source is the spring water gushing from the nearby mountains. On days when there is no snow from May to November, you can see the water source in the Tamagawa Brewery's workshop.
During this period, there are many wines to try, and the alcohol content is also very high. Trying a variety of wines can also make people intoxicated, there are not many tests every day. During the day, Chef sleeps soundly and cannot get up. Ash's superpowers are also sometimes inactive, sometimes energetic, sometimes just lying on the ground and not moving like before, and the little parrot gradually lacks vitality, only occasionally saying a word or two of "Tasty Chef", this trip does not seem like a good decision.
The weather is really cold, no one wants to go outside to play around, there are few pedestrians on the street, it is a bit like a dead city, there is no vitality and it is sleepy. Only the chimney on the roof often emits traces of white smoke, which is the evaporation of indoor heating, and it is also the only dynamic scene.
One day, the weather is getting warmer, and people indoors can finally run outside, breathe fresh air, and stretch their muscles and bones at a slow pace. Ash ignores that Chef is sleeping, and does not notify the little parrot, she walks out of the street and walks around slowly. After walking around, she sees a simple hut at the foot of a small hill. The hut is very strange and there is no white smoke coming out of the chimney, very strange. Ash wants to see what is going on and walks slowly into the hut with care. The hut is a family with only the most basic living furniture. There is a meowing sound in the room, and Ash sees an old cat walking slowly out of the room, with a thin body and unsteady eyes. Ash and the old cat look at each other and communicate, she knows that the old couple at home is sick because of the cold weather and not enough heating, they have not eaten for many days. The old cat does not eat and his body gradually becomes thinner, she also knows that the old couple is very old, has no relatives, has very little savings, and lives with financial constraints, they can only buy food with a small amount of money every day, and they do not have enough money to pay for the high cost of living. There is not enough money to pay for the high heating fee, there is not sufficient heating in extremely cold weather, and there is no high-energy food, and one will definitely get sick, what a sad but true story.
The old cat faces Ash and pours out the bitter water in its heart to Ash. Ash is only a faithful listener, only listening with peace of mind, just nodding her head to show her understanding, without saying anything, the old cat completely expresses the depression in its heart and is completely released.
Knowing the misery of the old couple, Ash walks up to them and looks at their faces, they are very pale, and they are both sick because of lack of food. To reduce the drop in body temperature, they cuddle together and warm each other with body temperature. It is not easy for an old couple to still be able to snuggle together, they must have a deep love that will last until death and never give up, which is a model for marriage.
Ash knows they need high starch food, and the old cat needs more food too! Ash immediately runs home to ask Chef for delicious noodle soup and gives it to the old couple, yelling " Chef, Chef, where are you!" Chef is still drunk and still sleeping soundly, what should I do? Ash jumps left and right, touching left and right, hoping to push the drunk Chef, but it is unsuccessful. Running around, ingredients in the kitchen, kitchen utensils are messed up, a bottle of pale yellow sake is broken and falls to the ground, there is other soy sauce on the ground, soy sauce and sake are mixed together, resulting in a strong chemical effect, the aroma of soy sauce changes, it becomes very soft and the fragrance lasts.
The aroma is very unique, Ash takes a sip. She does not know if it is because of the alcohol, her face instantly turns extremely orange, and her superpowers are at full marks. At this time, the strength of her powers can turn Ash into a chef. A cat is cooking noodle soup! Ash uses the good sauce prepared by Chef mixed with the water from the talking water dispenser, plus ready-made instant noodles and barbecued pork. Within 2 minutes, she makes two big bowls of noodle soup and delivers them to the old couple's house at super high speed. She tells the old cat to wake up the old couple with its tongue. There are two bowls of hot, fragrant noodle soup beside the old couple. They are full of heat. The old woman takes a sip of the soup, and her strength immediately increases. After eating the noodle in the soup, her stamina begins to recover, and she wakes up. The wife next to him gently feed him a bowl of noodle soup, and his physical strength recovered! He has enough physical strength to feed her and finish the rest of another bowl of noodle soup, and their physical condition gradually improved. The old couple has the strength to prepare the old cat's food, and the old cat also eats the food and gets better. The old cat knows that Ash really helps, and says "thanks Ash".
Ash comes home and tells Chef about her experience, Chef reorganizes the process, adding the specified sake to the soy sauce, it is amazing, another new invention!
Chef, touched by the experience of the old couple, sends noodle soup to the home of the old couple every day to support eternal love, the love that will never change. Delicious noodle soup is served every day, and the old couple's body is gradually getting stronger, and they have enough ability and strength to take care of the old cat!
Ash and the old cat also become good friends and visit each other from time to time, Ash uses to be a good listener and the old cat expresses the backlog of emotions. Young people should also know how to listen to the hearts of the elders, they do not need to express their opinions, as long as they keep silent and let the elders express their inner feelings, it is a good thing.
Chef has found a very suitable way to put good wine into soy sauce, and can also use the Kitchen Chemistry theory in the chemistry textbook to explain the reason for the success. He is also testing every day, and the taste is getting better and better every day. Ash's superpower is also improving every day, not only does she have an excellent sense of smell, but now she also has excellent hearing. Every day at home, Ash can hear other people talking and laughing, singing, and practicing their musical instruments, some are playing well and some are poorly. She enjoys free concerts at different levels every day and gradually falls in love with music. Sometimes Ash can also prepare food for the little parrot, and the little parrot is also very grateful to Ash for his contribution to it, and starts to keep saying "Tasty Chef Ash".
