Rebirth as a Cooking God

Tofu is not the food of common people.

The origin of this ancient ingredient can be traced back to the second century BC. It is said that it was invented by Liu An, the grandson of Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, and the king of Huainan.

However, tofu at that time was still very rough and had a bad taste. It was not considered a good cooking ingredient, so it did not become the mainstream. It was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that tofu became a dish for emperors, civilians, and many others. The food you eat. You Nihong people think that Monk Jianzhen in the Tang Dynasty is the ancestor of Nihong tofu. This view is actually correct. After all, Jianzhen traveled east and brought you a lot of technology...

In an ordinary tone, he talked about the history of tofu.

You don't have to worry about passing through, Xia Yu has done a lot of homework on the history of this world. Before modern times, the histories of the two worlds almost coincided perfectly, but after modern times, there were different branches of development.

The color, fragrance, and shape are nourishing.

The meaning refers to the cultural connotation of cooking.

Xia Yu didn't care whether God's Tongue was listening, leisurely grabbed a handful of chopped coriander and sprinkled it on the two bowls of bean curd.

Here, please enjoy!

Pushing the bowl, Xia Yu made a gesture of invitation, and then smiled, From now on, please be sure not to say that tofu is a common people's cuisine. In my opinion, there is no distinction between high and low in cooking. The original purpose of people cooking , is to fill the stomach, on this basis, let’s talk about the taste, color and decoration.”

Nakiri Erina was taken aback.

Xia Yu said with a smile, but she somehow felt his seriousness.

A sarcasm stuck in his throat. Nakiri Erina curled her lips, she didn't even have to look directly at the tofu flower on the table, showing her firm attitude with actions.

You really don't want to eat? Xia Yu laughed.

Don't eat!

All right……

Xia Yu didn't persuade her much, nor did she have the idea of ​​forcing her mouth to deliver food, so she brought a small spoon and ate it in bites.

Well, it's delicious, and it still has that heart-warming taste. Xia Yu ate half a bowl in one go, tsk-tsk to himself.

God's Tongue sniffed the scent in the air, only to feel that the secretion of saliva in the mouth accelerated. The chef has a sensitive sense of smell that is different from ordinary people, which makes Nakiri Erina more and more irritated.

That sweetness is brown sugar water?

The bean flavor of tofu is so strong...

Why does the cilantro bring out the flavor of this dish?

Occupational disease again. Nakiri Erina unconsciously bit the nail of her thumb, with a complex look on her face.

Boom.

At this time, there was a knock on the half-closed shop door.

Hello, is anyone around?

Is Ayu here? I'm your sister Mu Xiaoyue!

Xia Yu knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and swallowed the tofu flower in his mouth, I'm here, come in directly.

So, the two Chinese ladies whom I met yesterday opened the gray cloth curtain of the store door and walked into the store.

Mu Xiaoyue is that well-known food blogger. The food travel notes she sent out overnight are too lethal and aroused the greediness of many fans. So today Xia Yu got up and got a good harvest of more than 200 Fame Points.

Speaking of which, Mu Xiaoyue also paid the bill last night, and the gourmet soft article, oh no, it should be called a gourmet article, basically it was a free advertisement for Xia's Restaurant.

Huh……

As soon as Mu Xiaoyue entered the door, her nostrils fluttered, following the vague smell in the air, like a marionette, she walked all the way to the counter, staring at the untouched bowl of tofu flower, her eyes lit up, Wow, Doufu Hua, did you make this?

Yes, breakfast. Xia Yu nodded.

Then can I eat? You seem to have eaten a bowl, you should be full. Mu Xiaoyue was full of expectation, with big clear eyes, matching her cute dress and appearance, she looked like someone reaching out for candy little loli.

In the corner of the shop, Nakiri Erina pricked up her ears, as if she sensed the enemy.

sure!

Xia Yu said casually: A bowl of tofu flower, it's just a snack, it's nothing. It will be lunch time in a while, I have to cook a few dishes to reward you.

What about the reward? I'll talk about it after I finish eating this bowl of bean curd!

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyue was not polite at all, she reached out and asked Xia Yu for two clean spoons, and gave one spoon to her best friend who was following her, with dimples showing on her pretty face, Xiaoya, let's eat together !

Each put a spoonful of snow-white and brown sugar water into their mouths, followed by wonderful expressions.

Xia Yu was at the counter, watching the changes in the expressions of the two Chinese girls, and found it very interesting. Especially Mu Xiaoyue, while eating, she used various professional vocabulary and said words of praise.

Tofu flower!

What kind of soybean is this tofu flower made of? It's so fragrant. If I can have soy milk made from this soybean for breakfast every day, I must be very happy!

Unknowingly, a bowl of tofu flower has bottomed out. Mu Xiaoyue put down the spoon and stared at him firmly.

As expected of a well-known food blogger! Xia Yu gave a thumbs up and praised, The soul of this tofu flower is indeed in the tofu flower, or it can be said to be the soybeans that make the tofu flower.

But unfortunately, we make tofu, and the soybeans used to make tofu flowers are nothing special. You can buy them in the shopping street outside. Xia Yu said this, deliberately selling off.

He secretly apologized to the old man in his heart.

This bean curd dish was actually taught by him from the old man. Having eaten bean curd before, Xia Yu was amazed by heaven and man, but Xia Yu thought hard and studied for a period of time, and finally understood the secret of tofu through the food identification function of the God of Cooking system.

Mu Xiaoyue found a chair and sat down, and cast a strange glance at Nakiri Erina, then ignored the beautiful girl who looked like an angel, and pointed to the left wall, Where did the menu go?

This morning, Xiaoya and I deliberately saved our stomachs, and we planned to come to your place to taste authentic Chinese food.

The corner of Xia Yu's mouth twitched, coughed and said: This small shop is not open yet. When it opens, it will naturally hang the 12 famous dishes that are served that day on the wall for customers to choose from.

Not open yet? Mu Xiaoyue opened her eyes, It's almost noon now?

Normal business hours are from 6:00 pm to 4:00 midnight the next day, a total of ten hours.

...

It's understandable from six in the afternoon to early in the morning. It's a night shift business, but what the hell is it until four in the middle of the night... After the early morning, does anyone still find such a remote place and spend a lot of money to eat Chinese food? Mu Xiaoyue's face was full. do not understand.

This is the business time set by our old man. It has been like this for more than ten years, and I don't plan to change it. It's very good.

What Xia Yu said was the truth.

Small food shops are not used to doing daytime business. These days, Xia Yu has also thought about whether to change the business hours after he inherits the small shop.

However, considering that after the spring break, he will be in high school and will be in school most of the day, Xia Yu simply does not plan to change the business hours. That's fine.
