Rebirth as a Cooking God

Two days before the School Festival, when the overwhelming publicity campaign took over online and offline, forming an all-round coverage, the kitchen of the Jiexing dormitory was filled with gloom and mist.

No, no more!

Tadokoro poured cold water into her mouth, and the burning sensation in her mouth and body was slightly relieved.

With fear in her eyes, she looked at the plates of Mapo Tofu on the table in front of her.

It still doesn't work!

Souma Yukihira held his chin in his hand, eyebrows tangled, and also ate a spoonful of mapo tofu. While chewing, he whispered vaguely: It is very spicy, but this spicy is different from what I tasted at the Chinese Cooking Research Association. Too bad!

boom!

hateful!

With both hands on the table, Xingping Chuangzhen practiced, failed, and practiced for several days in a row. In this cycle, even a big heart will inevitably have a tendency to have an explosive mentality. Why, it's obviously called spicy, but the taste is one in the sky and the other in the earth. Well, it lacks the depth that captures people’s hearts!

Because... Tadokoroe said cautiously, Kuga-senpai has mastered the key to the ultimate!

Yukihira-kun!

She mustered up the courage: Let's change our thinking. In the spicy duel, there is absolutely no hope of winning! Don’t be stubborn!

no!

Yukihira Soma swept away the decline, and the fire of fighting spirit burned in his eyes, It's not time to give up yet!

After that, he turned back to prepare the ingredients.

Cut green peppers and sliced ​​meat, and soon serve twice-cooked pork and green pepper shredded pork.

It's really not possible!

After taking two bites, Tadokoro's eyes welled up with tears. She pointed at her swollen lips and really wanted to cry: If I eat it again, I won't be able to recover the day after tomorrow. How can I entertain guests at the school festival?

Seeing that the situation was not going well, she ran away. Soma Yukihira opened her mouth, lowered her head and sighed, and took off her apron.

Ji Xing Liao dormitory is far quieter than usual.

Yisehui led the rest of the friends to decorate the pavilion, and they were busy from morning to night every day.

In the kitchen, even the air was filled with an annoying spicy smell. Yukihira Soma came out, breathed in the fresh air, and stretched out for a rare moment: Maybe what Xiaohui said is right, it's time to change your mind!

Standing at the entrance of the lobby, he glanced towards the courtyard of Jixingliao.

On the table and chairs under the shade of the trees outside, there was a young girl sitting there quietly, with a small tray in front of her, several plates of homemade exquisite snacks, and a cup of afternoon tea.

The girl was reading something on her mobile phone with great interest. Her eyes would wander from time to time as if she was immersed in her own world and thinking.

Seeing this, Xing Ping Soma said hello:

Morita, aren't you going to help at the store construction site in Chuo District?

The girl was not annoyed at being disturbed. She raised her head and said with a smile: Senior Isshiki asked me to have a good rest. He said that I might be too busy to stop in two days, so he asked me to recharge my batteries.

Yukihira Soma was startled, then smiled bitterly.

yes!

He added with a complicated heart: No wonder Senior Isshiki relies on her. With Morita's reputation for winning the first prize in the autumn selection, many customers outside the school will patronize the Jiexingryo shop because of her reputation.

After all, he is not some blaming dragon and pig's trotters. Xingping Chuangzhen's ability to regulate emotions is abnormal, and he immediately put on a sunny smiling face:

What are you looking at?

He leaned close to the table and immediately called out, Comics?

Even though he didn’t have any entertainment skills, he didn’t listen to music, play games, or watch animations very much, and he was completely focused on honing his cooking skills. He was still attracted by the enlarged color pages of comics on the mobile phone screen.

Coincidentally, Morita Maki's white fingers turned to the last page, and a prompt popped up on the screen:

there is none left.

Ah, I've finished reading it again. I'm urging you to update more! Maki Morita muttered.

show me!

Yukihira Soma suddenly became interested.

Because this is a color-page food comic, and the serial plot is at its most exciting. The young man serves an exclusive dish to the picky guests. It is a spicy dish embellished with bright, flame-like red!

Chinese cuisine!

Morita Maki didn't give him her phone, but just gave him an online reading address, You can read it yourself.

After saying that, he took a sip of tea and snacks, and narrowed his eyes slightly in contentment.

She was observing Souma Yukihira.

A long while.

How? Maki asked softly.

Xing Ping Soma was still dumbfounded, staring at the full-color comic published by a certain unknown author on his personal Twitter, and murmured to himself: ...Sichuan people are not afraid of spicy food, Hunan people are not afraid of spicy food, and Qian people are not afraid of spicy food. It turns out that People in these areas of mainland China are so pursuing the ultimate spiciness, it’s not just the Shu people who have spicy eating habits!”

He looked down.

The hunchbacked old customer took down his chopsticks to taste a red oil dumpling, and immediately looked like he was enjoying himself.

This is the inner monologue of the chef and operator of the small shop:

I'm really addicted!

The protagonist, with a fresh and realistic painting style, clenched his fists and said: Taste is physiologically defined as sweet, bitter, sour, salty and delicious. Therefore, spicy is not considered physiological. Taste, taste, strictly speaking - pain!

Spiciness is different from the organs that can sense taste. This thing that is divorced from the physiological system is actually captured by vanilla-based receptors...

To be more precise, chili peppers contain something called capsaicin, which bypasses the tongue and reacts with vanillin in the neurons in the human body to produce a burning sensation, thus creating a spicy taste!

As for the cause of addiction...

Yukihira Soma looked down with wide eyes, and couldn't help but read out: The strong spicy taste will stimulate the brain and cause the brain to release adrenaline and endorphins. This is the so-called addiction to spicy food!

So that's it!

The unknown author conveys very professional cooking knowledge through the protagonist's voice. Soma Yukihira read it back and forth more than a dozen times, and gained insights each time, I didn't expect spicy food to be such a confusing dish!

Xinghei Soma, who lacked basic theoretical knowledge, felt as if he had taken a course on spicy food, and his heart was filled with the joy of a good harvest.

So professional!

This is Yukihira's strong impression of the content of the manga.

Suddenly, for the first time, Yukihira felt that he couldn't put it down for something other than cooking.

And these red oil dumplings, Chinese cuisine...

Looking down and looking up again after a while, Yukihira Souma's eyes were full of eagerness to try, It's so detailed! You can try to restore it! I might be able to add this recipe to my school festival menu!

He turned around and strode into the house.

Morita Maki watched him disappear, squinting slightly upward from the corner of her eyes, revealing a somewhat fox-like smile.

Sure enough, a new reader has joined!

There was a smile from the heart in the girl's eyes.

Maki seemed to know the unknown author who had dozens of followers on Twitter.

Use the update! Urge the update!

Send a short message.

The comic just started serializing a few days ago and is updated every day. The theme is a fresh painting style with fresh content. There is no fighting and killing. The characters are simple and the scenes are simple. Only the protagonist inherits the daily life of interacting with various diners in the shop. The story is not only heartwarming, but also gives people a baptism of professional cooking knowledge.

At least, Maki found it very interesting, and was inspired by a series of close-ups of cooking, which inspired a strong impulse to practice.

Is this really a little piece of work for practice?
