Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, then explained directly.
"No, what you did is much better than what Nicolas Flamel did..."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Nicolas Flamel's face immediately froze, "What?"
And this answer was also something Perenelle didn't expect. She was also stunned, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing the astonishment of the two of them, Mo Fei did not show off and started to explain directly.
"If I guess correctly, this piece of meat Nicolas should be synthesized from Alchemy. It is definitely not naturally occurring. Even the meat of magical creatures will never have such a complex taste..."
Being directly exposed by a young man made Nicolas Flamel a little embarrassed, but he quickly reacted, "What's wrong with me using Alchemy? You can't say that you haven't seen it before, so you don't allow me to create more delicious ingredients. Ingredients are a very important part of cooking..."
Mo Fei did not refute his words.
Because what he said is true. The ingredients themselves are part of the final product. There is no doubt about this.
Mo Fei then continued to explain.
"Of course there is nothing wrong with this. Being able to eat this kind of complex taste is a great addition to the dish... But the problem is that you are too greedy when making this piece of meat. You want to concentrate all the umami elements and make a umami bomb..."
"But there are some problems with this idea - I don't know if you know that among some people, the taste of mutton has an unpleasant smell that is difficult to get rid of, and many fish also have a fishy smell... There are many such taste traps..."
At this time, Nicolas Flamel directly retorted, "Of course I know, after all, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten..."
"That's why I just extracted the umami flavor from them. As for the fishy smell, I just threw it away..."
"That's where the problem arises!" Mo Fei interrupted again, "You must know that the fishy smell itself is an important source of umami in the meat. Simply removing them will also cause problems with the taste of the meat itself..."
"Two kinds of one kind are okay, but when you are making it, in order to maximize the deliciousness, you extract too many varieties. This also leads to the final product, the taste is fresh and tender enough, but in the final stage, you always feel that something is missing..."
"Later, you may also realize this, so you want to use sauce to fill this gap... However, the rich flavor of the sauce destroys the taste of the meat itself..."
"As for those vegetables, their original function should be to reset the taste and make every bite a perfect experience, but..."
Mo Fei did not continue what he said later, because Nicolas Flamel already looked frustrated.
If Mo Fei was lying, he wouldn't mind so much, but who knows, Mo Fei really figured out the problem, which made him a little embarrassed.
It's shameful that I used a trick and it ended up being self-defeating.
Perenelle did not continue to laugh at her husband this time. It was a tacit understanding between them to save him some face in front of outsiders.
"Then what's wrong with the roast chicken I made?"
Having said this, Mo Fei started the analysis very seriously.
"Your roast chicken should not be made from ordinary chicken. The special power contained in it is obviously not simple... You also use a lot of Herbology for marinating, which makes its own taste more prominent..."
"If Nicolas's method is to continuously add flavors to make the umami taste shocking enough, then your method is to use all means to highlight the deliciousness of the chicken..."
"The marinating mixes the flavors of the chicken evenly, and when grilling, you even let the flame appear briefly inside to mix all the flavors... And to prevent the chicken from drying out and becoming stale, you even use some liquid to constantly rehydrate the chicken..."
"It seems like a very homely operation, but you have made all the details perfect, so your cooking skills are far superior to Mr. Nicolas..."
Nicolas Flamel, who had been listening with open ears, was now completely convinced of Mo Fei.
As a pillow person, no one knows his wife's level better than him.
The long life gives them a lot of time. If they didn't have some hobbies, they would have gone crazy because of the long years...
He initially chose Alchemy. After Philosopher's Stone, he also wanted to copy a lot of the knowledge on Emerald Tablet, but the more he studied, the more confused he became.
Many things have long since disappeared in the long river of history.
Some Alchemy cannot be completed at all now.
As people gradually understand the world, the mystery is constantly being reduced, and this reduction will affect all aspects.
For example, he only discovered later that the Philosopher's Stone he produced was a defective product...
The genuine Philosopher's Stone is one of the highest achievements of Alchemy, and it can truly bring about the eternal existence of immortality.
But although the weakened version he made could suppress the aging of his body and allow him to live for several centuries, the blessings on his soul were pitiful.
This also allowed them to gradually discover the limits of their souls.
In less than a century at most, his and his wife's souls will be completely rotten, and then there will be no chance of survival.
It was also because of these discoveries that he gradually realized that Alchemy has now reached its limit. Unless there are any major changes, such as the mystery being strengthened again, otherwise... they can only slowly watch death approaching little by little.
But, how can someone who can refine Philosopher's Stone just admit defeat?
Therefore, he wanted to study other skills so that he could relight his soul.
Cooking was his chosen method.
His wife was also very obedient to his experiments and decisively took out many of the techniques he had studied and planned to practice them together.
His wife's years of hard work in cooking have long since brought her level to a level far beyond that of a professional chef. Even the royal banquet is, to many extents, not as good as his wife's.
But in Mo Fei's opinion, such craftsmanship is only remarkable? This really surprised Nicolas Flamel.
A short contact convinced him that Mo Fei was not the kind of person who talks nonsense.
When he first heard Mo Fei's name, he didn't care. Even if a Muggle mastered some special means, it was not worth paying too much attention to. He had seen many such Muggles in his past time.
With that kind of free time, he might as well continue doing his own thing.
The only thing that concerned him a little was that Muggle's cooking skills were said to be superb, which made him somewhat concerned.
But that's all I care about. As for seeing it in person, it was the second friend who mentioned Mo Fei's name again, and Nicolas was willing to hand over the token that came to his home.
Without a token, even the most powerful wizard cannot find the coordinates here.
However, since Mo Fei has pointed out all the greatness of Perenelle, does that mean that his craftsmanship is still superior to that of his wife?
He didn't want to believe this, but now it seemed that was the case.
Nicolas Flamel used the provocation method, "What you said is clear and logical, but what if you actually do it? You can't just talk..."
Mo Fei saw through his intentions at a glance, but he also wanted to show off his intentions.
If you want to gain respect, showing your trump card is a very good way.
He stood up directly and walked towards the kitchen, "Come on then, it will also let me see where my limits are..."
