Rebirth as a Cooking God

The next day.

Today is Monday. Xia Yu, who has already taken a long vacation, does not have to get up and rush to school.

In fact, he hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were red with dark circles.

Beep.

After exiting the God of Cooking space, Xia Yu couldn't wait to take his mobile phone and order a batch of new ingredients at the IGO special fantasy store.

At eight o'clock in the morning, IGO's food truck delivered the food on time.

When you open the food box in the kitchen, the delicious aroma of plants immediately escapes.

Meow--

The tabby cat, which chose a comfortable position in the corridor and lay there casually, smelled the smell and immediately widened its eyes.

Peach taro!

First, Xia Yu took out a huge taro in the shape of a peach that could not be grasped in his hand, and the corresponding information appeared in his mind.

Vegetable fantasy ingredients.

The taro must be soaked in salt water at 4 degrees Celsius for a full year before the skin can be peeled off. If there is a 0.1% error or a slight difference in salt concentration, the taro will change its flavor. This is an ingredient that requires careful preparation!

Fortunately, the peach taro sent by IGO has been soaked and peeled, packed in a transparent vacuum bag, and can be used for cooking directly.

Xia Yu just subconsciously thought of the 'Peach Taro' information.

After all, the old man highly praised this ingredient in his notes.

Because it is difficult to handle, the delicious taste after cooking is irresistible.

‘Peach taro’ is an ingredient.

The second type is the 'black grass' that Tamagawa Ayaka once mixed with 'beer lobster' in a pot in the special examination room.

The combination of 'tao taro' and 'black grass' is the secret combination of a recipe called Taro, Grass and Ginseng Porridge in the appendix of the old man's notes, which can regulate Qi deficiency. In other words, Xia Yu felt dizzy after staying up late There is no energy, just suitable for tonic.

Don’t worry about anything else!

Hungry, Xia Yu planned to put it into practice and produce the results of practice, and he would be the taster.

Click!

Fire!

First, put a medicine jar on a stove and put water in it.

Xia Yu turned to get a precise weighing device and stood in front of the cabinet specially used to store medicinal materials. He chanted softly while working, Half a penny for astragalus, 1 and a half yuan for ginseng, 3 yuan for poria, 1 yuan for ginger, and japonica rice. 2 taels...

Pour all the weighed medicinal materials into the medicine jar.

Water is very particular. The old man specifically stated that 5 bowls of water should be used to decoct 2 bowls of concoction, and the concoction should be boiled with japonica rice, ginger and two fantasy ingredients.

I felt quite uneasy inside.

Xia Yu didn't know much about Chinese medicinal materials.

When selecting medicinal materials to cook medicinal meals, one must first start from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. A person's deficiency constitution can be divided into many types. The old man wrote in his notes:

For patients with qi deficiency, fatigue, dizziness and lack of energy, use medicinal herbs such as Astragalus root, American ginseng, and Poria cocos.

Blood deficiency, dizziness, dry skin, and pale complexion should be treated with angelica, red dates, and wolfberry.

Yang deficiency, fear of cold, cold hands and feet, need to be recuperated with Eucommia ulmoides, leeks, Cistanche deserticola, etc.

...

With the help of the system, Xia Yu spent one night, or to be more precise, reading back and forth in the God of Cooking space for about a week, and finally remembered the content almost to the point where he could automatically fill in the information when he saw a certain ingredient.

Bang bang bang bang!

Use the knife to deal with 'peach taro' and 'black grass'.

These two fantasy ingredients must be chopped very finely and finally become a puree.

Boiling the medicinal juice took time. Half an hour later, Xia Yu poured 2 bowls of clear yellow medicinal juice into a casserole, mixed it with japonica rice, and then put in the puree of 'tao taro' and 'black grass'.

Bring to a simmer.

During this period, Xia Yu used the [Explosive Flame] cooking skill to constantly monitor the temperature changes inside the casserole. This was a rare opportunity to absorb experience. After all, except for the Sukiyaki recipe that Ryoko Lina gave him two weeks ago, The old man's medicinal meal recipe is his second attempt to combine two fantasy ingredients in one pot.

And it’s the famous Chinese medicinal diet!

after an hour.

It's cooked!

After mastering the timing of the heat, the old man said that you should pay attention to the heat. If it is slightly overcooked, the 'tao taro' will change its flavor. This fantasy ingredient is very fragile.

Open the lid of the casserole and boom!

The fragrant porridge smell floated out. Xia Yu took a sip and felt ecstasy. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that his sore eyes after staying up late reading suddenly became hydrated. He blinked several times in a row and couldn't get used to the blink of an eye. The change.

Meow!

He just found a bowl and spoon and planned to taste it. Unexpectedly, the lazy cat sat at his feet and looked up with a pitiful look.

You want to eat too?

Xia Yu was so amused that she simply put him on her shoulders and pointed at the dark medicinal porridge in the casserole, Are you sure you want to eat it?

This pot of porridge, if you don't smell it and just look at its appearance, is a perfectly dark dish.

'Peach taro' does not have such strong dyeing power, so it is naturally the 'black grass' that is causing trouble.

Suddenly there was a moist and warm feeling on his cheeks. Xia Yu glanced at his shoulder to please him, stuck out his tongue and licked his tabby cat randomly, reached out to grab the little thing, and threw the little thing on the kitchen counter.

wait!

Fetching another bowl, Xia Yu used a spoon to fill two large bowls of porridge. When cooking, he put 2 taels of japonica rice for two people. Now one person and one cat each have a bowl, which is just right.

After blowing the cold porridge on the surface of the bowl, he passed the spoon and scooped up half a spoonful. Xia Yu tasted it slowly.

Well!

There is a medicinal smell in the mouth, which is light and not annoying. On the contrary, Xia Yu fell in love with this smell at the first bite! Familiar feeling!

“What a mellow medicinal taste!”

His eyes lit up.

Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The taste in the mouth was not bad, at least it was not a complete failure. After all, it was the first time to practice. His psychological expectations were very low, as long as there was no tragic car accident.

Chew carefully.

laugh!

When his teeth bit down, when the ripe and soft japonica rice was broken between his teeth, a soft taro flavor, like hair, entangled in his mouth and gradually formed into balls. When Xia Yu noticed this smell , he was already on the verge of being lost.

Delicious——

After a while, Xia Yu put down the empty bowl and turned around to look at the other bowl on the kitchen table with greed in his eyes.

Sensing his gaze, the tabby cat immediately swung its buttocks to cover the porcelain bowl, lowered its head and stuck out its bright red tongue, licking it bit by bit. Maybe the porridge was too hot, so it ate very slowly.

Take a few deep breaths and suppress your greedy appetite.

How complete is the system? Xia Yu asked.

60%.

Hey, the completion level just passed! Xia Yu lowered his head and thought, But the flavor and texture of the 'black grass' have disappeared. There must be a big problem somewhere.

‘Taotao’ performed perfectly.

There is no problem with the combination of medicinal materials, and the dosage is no problem either.

The possible error lies in decoction and brewing of medicinal juice.

After all, Xia Yu was only half-experienced in the field of traditional Chinese medicinal diet. Xia's shop had medicinal dishes, but there were very few types. He only followed the old man's recipes step by step and never studied them systematically.

If you want to be proficient in medicinal diet, there is no doubt that you must start by identifying medicinal materials and mastering pharmacology!

In terms of medicinal diet, Nito Feishako is an expert, but Xia Yu doesn't have to run over to ask for advice, he still has a system!

Buy, buy, buy!

Xia Yu searched and filtered the available skill books in the system store and learned them all in one go.
