Rebirth as a Cooking God

Branch kitchen.

After standing for a full hour, Xia Yu suddenly woke up, and then cleaned the kitchen counter without saying a word.

It's eleven o'clock at night...

Liang Zilina looked at Xia Yu who was busy, and then looked back at the wall clock in the kitchen.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but the short hour hand is exactly at the number “11”, while the slightly longer minute hand has just passed “12” and is heading towards the number “1”.

Exactly eleven o'clock at night.

There is only one hour left until the review is over.

It could be said that it was dead of night outside, and the kitchen hadn't received any orders for a while, so Xia Yu had time to stand there for so long.

Da da da.

Disarrayed footsteps.

Looking back, Ryoko Lina caught a glimpse of Mas entering the door. She raised her eyebrows and was about to scold him. Unexpectedly, Erina, Masato Kanbara and a noble woman wearing a women's suit entered the kitchen together.

Governor Tamagawa!

Seeing that it was the mayor of Tokyo, Ryoko Lina's expression softened and she saluted slightly.

After a hum, Tamagawa Yuriko obviously knew Ryoko Lina, and said with a smile: I heard from Minister Kanbara that Ryoko, you have been stationed in this neighborhood recently, and the young chef who needs special care is him?

The female governor said, casting a curious look at the male high school student who was standing in front of the kitchen counter and looking at him carefully.

Young indeed!

However, there is a calm temperament between his eyebrows that is not possessed by his peers.

Every gesture is full of the style of a chef.

Even if a casual diner comes to visit, he will definitely be able to determine Xia Yu's identity as the chef at a glance. This is a weird gut reaction. Or called momentum and momentum. And this kitchen is undoubtedly Xia Yu's main battlefield, the main territory, and he is the master!

Oh, you are so young! Tamagawa Yuriko smiled softly, It turns out that he was the one who made those luminous dishes today. It's really hard to believe.

Clean the kitchen counter carefully.

Xia Yu cleaned up all the excess things on the kitchen counter, and then spread a layer of dry powder on the kitchen counter.

Wow

Neatly, he raised the small bag of flour he had brought back from the store. With a shake of his hand, the whole bag of flour poured onto the kitchen counter, piled up into a hill several dozen centimeters high. Furthermore, he turned around and took a salt spoon, pouring the flour into it. Sprinkling some salt grains into the pile seemed casual, but Xia Yu was precisely controlling the amount of salt and tightly controlling every detail.

Huh.

Isshiki Hui and Kobayashi Ryodan also entered the kitchen. Standing behind Nakiri Erina, the three interns saw Xia Yu pull out a black stick about three feet long that looked like a cane from under the kitchen counter. , eyes straightened for a while.

Then, what is that? Erina's eyes wandered.

It seems to be a kind of rolling pin, right?

Kobayashi Ringtong touched his lower lip and said uncertainly.

You'll know after you see it. Yisekhui smiled bitterly. His eyes were fixed on Xia Yu, and he couldn't stop complaining in his heart, how many secrets does this guy hide?

stick!

A refreshing voice came from behind everyone.

Dojima Gin, Akiyama Hiroshi and Nakiri Senzaemon, the three distinguished guests sitting in private room No. 2, also came together.

Akiyama Hiroshi took in Dojima Gin's words and said with a smile: This kind of stick is the cooking tool of the white chef, just like the kitchen knife of the red chef. I don't need to explain its importance.

White case, red case?

Isshiki Kei, Kobayashi Ryodan and Nakiri Erina looked at each other, obviously not knowing the meaning of these Chinese terms. This is something that Yuanyue’s modern professional courses do not have.

Bai An is also the so-called pastry chef.

Red case, that is, a chef who holds a knife and is outside the pastry field.

Akiyama Hiroshi explained to the three students among the crowd, he was personable and had the demeanor of a professor in a higher education institution.

This is a saying originating from mainland China. Before modern times, white chefs and red chefs were two fields that did not overlap with each other. For example, the lost palace cuisine of that mysterious continent. In the banquet of palace cuisine, The white case and the red case each perform their own duties, and there must be no inversion or confusion.

Akiyama Hiroshi said slowly:

However, in modern times, the boundaries between white cases and red cases are not as clear as in ancient times. Red case chefs have also begun to learn pastry skills, explore more fields, and their cooking skills have become more comprehensive...

Speaking of this, Akiyama Hong suddenly stopped and his eyes narrowed.

The three interns digested the knowledge silently, and then they were surprised, who is this guy?

The kitchen was quiet, no one spoke at this time, and pairs of eyes invariably focused on Xia Yu. Xia Yu, who was immersed in the world of cooking, simply ignored the irrelevant people.

Snapped!

A dark shadow flashed!

The black stick cut through the hills formed by the accumulation of all-purpose flour, flattening the tops of the hills!

Take a stick and pound it!

The flattened mountain top suddenly sank. Xia Yu picked up the basin next to him with his left hand. The water flowed into the flour pile, forming a volcanic lake-like scenery.

cold water!

Seeing this, Xiao Linlong exclaimed timidly.

Yes, cold water.

This detail explains a lot of problems.

Kneading noodles, this process requires the use of three types of water: cold water, warm water, and hot water.

It was still Akiyama Hiroshi who broke the silence and explained: Hot water dough, also called boiling water, hot noodles. The water temperature is generally 60-100 degrees Celsius. In this kind of dough, the protein is solidified, the gluten is destroyed, and the starch is decomposed into single units. Sugar and disaccharide, although the flat dough has a poor color, it has a smooth texture and sweet taste.

Hot water dough is suitable for making steamed buns, steamed dumplings, siu mai and pot stickers, Erina said softly.

The governor of Tokyo, Tamagawa Yuriko, who had been silent until now, said with a smile: If the water is warm, the water temperature is about 50 degrees, and it is generally used to make various steamed cakes. For example, Taiyaki is made with warm water dough. In terms of texture, it is soft. It’s tough and very delicious!”

Isshiki Hui and Erina looked at the governor of Tokyo with surprise and suspicion. They did not expect that this governor also had cooking knowledge at his fingertips.

“It ends up being cold water dough.”

Dojima Gin raised three fingers and said solemnly:

Cold water dough has three characteristics: strong toughness, strong tensile strength and stiffness!

As he said that, several of the big guys present nodded silently.

noodle!

“It can only be pasta!”

Ramen?

Whispers, everyone has his own guess.

Look—

Kobayashi Ringtong suddenly covered his mouth, as if he had seen an incredible scene, and his golden eyes were full of surprise.

Snapped!

At least half of the black stick was inserted into the milky white noodle mountain!

Seeing this scene, Akiyama Hiroshi and Nakiri Senzaemon looked at each other subconsciously and said: Knead noodles with a stick!

That's right!

When others were surprised, Xia Yu held a black pastry stick and rotated it around the volcano lake on the top of the mountain. The clear water gradually mixed with the flour as the stick rotated.

Xia Yu's lips were opening and closing imperceptibly, and he said to himself in a small and audible voice:

Dough is not kneaded by brute force...

The twirling of fingers!

The twist of the wrist!

Arm rotation!

While Xia Yu was muttering to himself, the black pastry stick was spinning in circles faster and faster, and in the end there were only black afterimages left!

Huh, huh.

There seemed to be a whirlwind in the kitchen.

There was a sudden change in the air flow, and everyone including Tokyo Governor Yuriko Tamagawa, who was not a chef with keen senses, immediately noticed this strange phenomenon.

He, what is he doing?!

A scene that subverted common sense made Isshiki Kei, Kobayashi Ryodan, and Nakiri Erina lose their voices and stare wide-eyed.

Big bosses such as Dojima Gin, Akiyama Hiro, and Commander Totsuki also had long-lasting expressions of shock.
