Rebirth as a Cooking God

convenient?

When the fog dissipated and the lid was removed, Xia Yu was stunned when he saw the dishes on the plate.

Oh-

I couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

When the bento reveals its true appearance, it is like a jewelry box carefully designed by the chef, so beautiful and bright.

Knew it!

But Xia Yu secretly smiled.

He is very familiar with this Temari sushi.

In the original plot, Alice presented such an exquisite answer sheet, but the result was an unsuspicious...disastrous defeat!

The first round of the knockout round will be held on September 15.

According to the original work, the battle notice was not distributed to students until the 14th.

In other words, both sides only knew their opponents and the topic the day before the showdown, and had only one day to prepare.

But with Xia Yu's intervention, the executive committee distributed notices in advance today, September 4th, a full ten days in advance. This period of time was dedicated to Xia Yu to open a small stove for students!

Beep!

The moment Alice's dishes appeared, Xia Yu suddenly received a pop-up prompt from the system:

There are new tasks available.

[Training the 'Molecular Queen'].

Tip: Within the ten-day period, guide Alice Nakiri to develop a prototype of a kitchen heart.

Reward: 'Big Tuna Belly Soybean Seed' (mutation).

Before he could take a bite, the system popped up a task.

Obviously the system is not optimistic about Alice Nakiri either.

If there is not even the most basic mark of cooking heart, even if it is just a prototype, Nakiri Alice will lose at least half of it.

Huh!

Xia Yu was then attracted by the reward information.

What's going on, mutated fantasy soybean seeds? He glanced at the taskbar.

There is a task that has been backlogged on me for several months.

Make the 'Big Magic Panda Tofu' with 100% completion, and the reward is the supreme tofu recipe Tofu Trio.

Could it be...

My heart skipped a beat, and the system answered:

This seed can grow sweet soybeans containing rich melanin.

Damn it!

He immediately lost his composure.

Turn on the training!

Lecturer Xia, what's wrong?

Seeing that Xia Yu was still moving, Alice was confused.

This is my strongest dish. It can be said that I have given all the essence of my skills to these dishes!

Alice clasped her hands together and smiled.

I eat!

Xia Yu nodded, not too particular about it, and just grabbed it with his hands.

A long while.

After wiping out all the Temari sushi in the food box, Xia Yu stuck out his tongue, licked his fingers clean, smashed his mouth and said, As I taste these sushis, they form a bento in my mouth——

“A gorgeous Japanese feast!”

Just one sentence.

There are many, needless to say. He doesn't know much about molecular gastronomy, and he's just like a layman pointing fingers.

But there is another way, to tell Alice that she is wrong.

Alice, I'll make a lunch too, just wait...

Without waiting for the girl to answer, Xia Yu treated the kitchen as his own home, opened the refrigerator and checked the ingredients stored inside.

Huh? There is a bamboo wheel, very good material!

There are many kinds of fish meat, and the freshness is acceptable. Let's use cod meat, which is suitable for frying.

Hey, Alice, don't you have burdock and seaweed here?

Xia Yu asked the silver-haired girl after arranging the materials on the kitchen counter.

Seaweed?

The girl nodded her chin.

Yes, have you heard of seaweed bento? But what I want to make is not an ordinary seaweed bento. Xia Yu smiled.

His training plan has been drafted.

If nothing else, let’s use Shokuki’s original recipe to completely defeat the jeweled Temari dish that Alice is proud of.

First destroy her prestige, polish her arrogance, and let her know that molecular gastronomy is not invincible.

In this way, the following teaching work can be carried out easily.

Alice called a maid.

The maid held a pen and paper in her hand, and said seriously: Lecturer Xia, what materials do you need? We will get them from the academy's logistics office. Please give us fifteen minutes.

So, after a while, Xia Yu's requested materials were piled on the table.

Get busy.

The first step was to cook the stock. Alice saw Xia Yu take finely chopped bonito flakes and fry them in a pan over high heat to allow the water in the bonito flakes to evaporate. Then, add the fried bonito flakes and strips of kelp. Boil in clear water.

Next, comes a series of complicated processes.

Stir the flour and egg mixture evenly in a mixing bowl and place in the refrigerator to refrigerate.

Sprinkle the cod fillets with salt and pepper to marinate them first, and apply a thin, almost non-existent layer of flour on the surface of the fish fillets.

This is the ‘Evolution Nori Bento’ recipe from Soma Yukihira in the original work.

However, the one who faced Alice Nakiri in the first round was Morita Maki. Yukihira's recipe was destined to be difficult to produce in this time and space. Xia Yu wanted to educate Alice and didn't mind restoring the recipe.

About an hour later.

Alice Nakiri pointed blankly at several food boxes on the dining table.

Instructor Xia, are you sure that this kind of simple-looking... extremely civilian-oriented cuisine can compete with my Jewelry Temari Sushi?

She laughed.

He squinted his eyes and looked leisurely.

With her hands on the dining table, Alice glanced at the young lecturer opposite and said, If it's after-school tutoring or tutoring at this level, I'll be very disappointed!

“Come, eat this first——”

Xia Yu smiled and pushed a small lunch box over.

In the box, there are three steaming side dishes.

Fried bamboo shoots, fried cod and fried burdock shreds with soy sauce.

Well.

After sniffing the strong aroma that hit her nostrils, Alice slightly put away her smile and said, Let's eat the fried bamboo shoots first!

She tried to take down her chopsticks, and with just a slight bite of her teeth, the fried bamboo rings, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, broke in her mouth. Below, as she chewed, she felt an incredible refreshing seaweed, which made Alice slightly widen her eyes. eyes.

It's seaweed batter. You added green seaweed powder when you made the batter. No wonder it melts in your mouth! Alice licked the corner of her lips and put the remaining bamboo wheel into her mouth to chew, There's another one. It has a light, almost negligible smell, but it goes well with the seaweed dough... Oh, I remembered, lecturer, you put beer in, no wonder it doesn’t feel greasy at all! It’s refreshing!”

Where's the fried cod?

Alice's mouth never stopped, and Alice ate to her heart's content.

“The fried burdock shreds with soy sauce are also good!”

Where's the miso soup...

Alice probably didn't realize it, but after tasting all three side dishes, a smile of joy appeared on her lips.

Even the tone is much more lively and playful than normal.

At this time, Alice took a sip of the thick soup while it was still hot.

Um? !

The whole person froze on the chair, and Alice Nakiri murmured: My body is tightly wrapped in delicious food——

Why--

She kept drinking, and the more she drank, the more her cheeks turned red, showing her shy drunken state.

A long while.

There were a few empty lunch boxes left on the dining table.

Alice took a big breath and stared at the young lecturer unconvinced: Is this what you want to tell me?

Heart?

She patted her chest lightly, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Should the bento contain your feelings? Alice said, But, lecturer, the key to a dish is the taste, right? Whether it tastes good or not is the essence of the dish...

I want to say no to spiritual discussions such as heart-to-heart talk!

Even Xia Yu was choked for a long time.

The teaching job has hit a snag!

Xia Yu, who realized that Alice was difficult to conquer, couldn't help but frown.

Then let's not talk about anything else. As you said, the most important thing is whether it tastes good or not. Xia Yu looked directly into her eyes, Just rate it from the perspective of 'delicious' and 'unpalatable'. How can you rate yours? What’s the score?”

Score?

Fraction?

Alice was stunned.

It must have been crushed by my Temari Sushi!

She thought in her heart, but another thought that couldn't be erased reminded her——

No.

She also lost in the taste competition.

It seems you are not convinced yet.

Xia Yu sighed. When he met a girl with a strong temper, just like how he had tamed the 'God's Tongue', he needed strong medicine.

He turned to the kitchen counter, and when he returned, he brought another lunch box.

In the box, there is hot rice drizzled with gravy.

At the same time, a layer of fine particles similar to caviar is spread on the surface of the rice with an attractive sheen.

The ultimate form of bento——

Try it!
