Rebirth as a Cooking God

It is worth mentioning that.

The skin of puffer fish is extremely delicious and is a high-grade ingredient that is as good as the meat. Therefore, peeling the skin is also a skill that tests the reliability of the chef.

Soak the whole pufferfish meat in cold water.

Generally speaking, fish are the freshest within 4-5 hours after death. After that, the meat quality will become stiff and the taste and texture will drop sharply.

But this common sense does not apply to pufferfish.

The meat of puffer fish is too tender and firm, and the meat gradually softens after one day of death.

So Xia Yu told the old man to come back in one day.

You cannot eat pufferfish processed on the same day.

boom!

After locking the kitchen door tightly and confirming again and again that it was locked, Xia Yu turned around and smiled at Tamagawa Misa: Let's go -

The old man disappeared silently without knowing when.

It's getting dusk.

Coming out of the cooking room, the sunset falls on the courtyard, creating a peaceful and picturesque scene.

Xia Yu and Tamagawa Misa returned to their residence from the forest path.

As soon as I stepped onto the steps and was about to enter the door, the cell phone in my trouser pocket rang a pleasant ringtone.

After two days in Kamakura, Xia Yu finally inserted the other card back into his phone, so the group of friends in Tokyo were able to make calls.

I took out my mobile phone and was startled when I saw a series of familiar numbers.

Tamagawa Misa smiled at him, waved her hand, and walked away.

Hello!

Xia Yu walked to a corner of the courtyard.

Ayu—— An irrepressible voice of surprise immediately came from the other end of the phone, Have you, have you returned to China?

No, I'm still in Neon.

Eh...neon?!

The voice on the other end screamed in surprise, and then there was a lot of noise. Xia Yu heard Souma Yukihira shouting, Yuki Yoshino also came closer, and Ryoko Sakaki was comforting Tadokoro who was squatting and drawing circles not far away. benefit.

Isshiki Hui, Marui Zenji, and Imusaki Shun were silent spectators nearby.

Just listening to the sound, Xia Yu had a strong sense of picture in his mind.

The person who called him was naturally his childhood sweetheart.

After a while of silence.

By the way! Xia Yu took the initiative to find a topic, Over at Yuanyue, is there any news about the Autumn Selection?

I heard that the 20 places in the first round are under discussion. Those selected in the first round will definitely be the most outstanding first-year students. There will be 40 places to be decided later, but these people are destined to be green foils... Morita Maki said softly.

Listening to the voice of his childhood sweetheart, Xia Yu nodded secretly.

Speaking of the autumn selection, the ex-girlfriend spoke calmly and without any nervousness, as if she was not a first-year student about to join the competition.

The girl next door is growing up!

Xia Yu felt indescribable joy.

In fact, during the three years from the first to the third year of junior high school, while he deliberately distanced himself from Morita Maki, he also kept a close eye on her.

This little girlfriend is very mature.

After all, girls have been helping out in the pastry shop at home since they were young. In terms of dealing with others, they are not on the same level as their peers. What's even more rare is her persistence, whether it's cooking or relationships.

Xia Yu is not surprised at all that Morita Maki has made such progress.

Ask Morita Maki to prepare for the Autumn Selection, and after giving some instructions, Xia Yu came to answer the question.

Xia, Lecturer Xia!

Tadokoro stammered nervously.

Let me tell you, Xiaohui, if you still behave like this in the Autumn Selection, Professor Xia will be disappointed! Xia Yu teased with a half-smile.

sorry!

The girl on the other end of the phone immediately apologized and mustered up the courage to say, I'll do my best!

Just cheering is not enough. Let me make a plan for you. How about hitting the top three? If you break into the top three, no matter where you fall, Professor Xia will give you a special gift! Xia Yu Said in a mysterious tone.

Top three? Tian Suo Hui stuttered again.

Gift?

Then came the surprise.

On the other end of the phone, a group of people in Ji Xing Lao could see a girl with braids, her whole body glowing.

After chatting with Tadokoro for a while, he hung up the phone.

Listening to the familiar voice of his friend, Xia Yu suddenly felt warm in his heart.

Yuanyue is a small world.

Outside is the light cooking world and the dark cooking world.

However, outside these circles, there are also unknown monsters.

Perhaps these spirits can only be found in the countryside of Kamakura. There is no soil for monsters to live in Tokyo, and there are people everywhere. In fact, it’s quite normal when you think about it. As human civilization progresses, circles that were already marginalized naturally become even more marginalized.

I'm afraid there aren't many spirits in neon nowadays.

Xia Yu needs to know more.

…

The next day.

Xia Yu continued to practice in the temple's kitchen.

However, while cooking, he placed his mobile phone on the cupboard, with a live chat video on the screen.

Opposite is a luxurious professional kitchen. The girl who has tied her blond hair into a single ponytail is standing in front of the kitchen counter with her arms folded, habitually biting her thumb and rubbing her teeth on her fingernails.

The girl just stared at the phone screen for a moment.

You see, the details! Pay attention to the details!

Taking a step aside, Xia Yu pointed at a few things on the cutting board that had been twisted into hemp ropes.

This is the recipe for Flaming Tornado Shark Fin Sausage that hasn't appeared in a long time.

'God's Tongue' Nakiri Erina has finally mastered this recipe after studying it to this day. Xia Yu is teaching her more advanced skills, which is the core essence.

Of course, the cooking skills of [Explosive Flame] and [Spice Inequality] are secrets that cannot be taught, and even if Xia Yu is willing to teach them, there is still no way to teach them.

I see!

It took Nakiri Erina fifteen minutes to finally make several hemp ropes.

Next is the process of soaking spices, charcoal grilling and steaming. Erina has no big problems with these processes.

alright--

Xia Yu clapped his hands and sorted the kitchen garbage and kitchen utensils on the kitchen table. He turned back and took out the puffer fish meat that had been soaked in the bucket yesterday from the cool water.

Turn on [Dialysis Eye]!

The system organized the pieces of information in Xia Yu's head into data:

[Processed pufferfish meat] (blue), attributes: fire, toxin: qualified, others: 24 hours have passed since the pufferfish died. The meat is currently the softest and smoothest. It is recommended that the host processes and cooks it.

There are so many ways to do puffer fish.

The simplest is to make pufferfish sashimi.

In addition, many traditional Chinese cooking techniques can also be applied to pufferfish, such as braised, steamed, stewed, stir-fried, there are so many, Xia Yu’s head was full of recipes, he couldn’t help but shook his head and whispered to himself: Well, it belongs to fire What should I use the puffer fish meat to cook?”

After all, it is not an ordinary ingredient, so it cannot be wasted.

It's not good to refrigerate it, it's also a waste. After today, the puffer fish meat in front of you won't be so delicious!

Sashimi!

A light voice interrupted Xia Yu's thoughts again.

Angry!

Xia Yu turned around and stared at the white-haired old man who suddenly appeared, and then looked at the open kitchen door behind him, feeling an indescribable feeling of tiredness!

really.

The locked kitchen door cannot stop these things.

This means that he cannot use secular environmental conditions to restrict monsters.

Ayu——

At this time, a head popped in from the door. Tamagawa Misa waved her hands outside and said hello before entering the kitchen with her grandma.

The kitchen suddenly became lively.
