Rebirth as a Cooking God

IGO's food transport truck was parked near Xia's main store, attracting many onlookers.

The staff in black moved boxes of sealed items. These boxes were piled in front of the shop, built up like a hill, and the scale was amazing.

After Xia Yu signed and waved goodbye to the food truck, the three sisters, Zhu Qing and Yuchuan, gathered around him and stared at him.

What are you buying so much at once?

Zhu Qing asked.

It's a must-have for making snacks for the Christmas food festival. Is this a big quantity? I'm afraid it's not enough.

Xia Yu frowned and then relaxed.

In fact, the last time he discussed the preparations for the Christmas Food Festival in the shopping street with Eizan Ezuya, he had already considered it in his heart. He bluntly said that as the soul pillar of the shopping street, how should the Xia family store prepare for the food festival? Contribute?

The idea of ​​returning to store managers to launch a food festival is not to use special food to condense the shopping street that is just on the right track and is waiting for renovation into a culture unique to the region?

Therefore, what Xia's store has to do is to come up with Christmas snacks that are eye-catching, popular enough with customers and get good reviews. The next step is to make Christmas snacks that impress customers.

Note, it’s a snack!

After all, we are not a Western country. Christmas dinner is not necessary for East Asians. Besides, do people who go out shopping on Christmas Eve care about the feast? Snacks should be convenient and delicious, and it’s no problem to understand street food and stall food!

But you can’t make snacks randomly, you have to adapt to the occasion and echo the Christmas atmosphere.

For example, the Tamagawa sisters' gingerbread and gummy candies are common snacks in Western Christmas markets, and Zhu Qing's apple candies have a cultural connotation in them.

So Xia Yu got up this morning and saw that today was Christmas Eve, the 24th. While washing and brushing his teeth and looking in the mirror, he decided on his recipe——

Christmas mulled wine!

Watching Xia Yu open the box and take out bottles of red wine, Zhu Qing and Yuchuan sisters looked at each other.

Boss Xia is going to make mulled wine!

Tamagawa Misa nodded her lips and thought: Traditional Christmas mulled wine, also called mulled wine, is usually the most popular and best-selling hot drink at Christmas markets. Last year, a food media made statistics. It is said that Christmas markets in Western countries The mulled wine sold on the market could circle the earth NN times!

Spice wine!

Zhu Qing's eyes showed a hint of understanding, and he laughed and said: It is indeed your style of doing things, just choose the field you are most familiar with!

These red wines...

Tamagawa Ayaka held a wine bottle with both hands, stared at the label, and her eyes flashed: Red wine?

Here, smell it. I ordered it from a supplier with a high IGO rating. Xia Yu used a special bottle opener to pull out the cork, and a strong fruity aroma filled the air. Smelling this smell, Tamagawa Ayaka's expression became even weirder.

Just as she was about to ask, Xia Yu waved and said, Come on, go get the lotus leaf jar where Rainbow Wine is stored.

Zhu Qing and Meisa stood stunned, not reacting yet.

Lotus leaf altar?

Those three jars that I brewed fruit wine a few days ago and still haven’t consumed much of the original liquid?

Tamagawa Ayaka roughly guessed what Xia Yu was going to do, I'll go!

With anticipation in her eyes, she ducked into the house.

Help, help!

Xia Yu greeted Zhu Qing and Mei Sha, carried the extra-large cooking pot, and worked with Zhu Qing to carry the charcoal stove in the backyard to the side of the Christmas pavilion and set up a second tent. Soon, Xia Yu The Christmas wine shop is roughly taking shape.

Ayaka didn't directly bring an entire lotus leaf altar, but just took it from a special transparent bottle with a dropper. This bottle is more like a chemical laboratory utensil than a kitchen utensil.

She handed over the bottle and explained: I usually use rainbow juice to cook food, and I use a similar reagent bottle to strictly control the dosage!

Xia Yu gave a thumbs up, You understand me!

Ah, rainbow juice?

Meisha covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide, mulled wine, mulled wine, you want to add rainbow juice?

Zhu Qing frowned fiercely, What nonsense!

she scolded.

The more advanced taboo ingredients are, the more attention is paid to the combination. Spiced wine requires a lot of spices, such as lemon, cinnamon, and star anise... Can the originally pure juice tolerate the presence of these impurities?

It was because he was familiar with mulled wine that Zhu Qing had doubts.

Spiced wine is not a fancy thing. Let alone her, any Totsuki Higher Education student here could easily cook a pot of it.

Xia Yu smiled and said: At the Christmas market, there is also an interesting spice bar that uses juice instead of red wine and mixes spices to cook?

It's okay to use juice, but it's a big problem to use rainbow juice!

What if I said, I can use spices to control rainbow juice? Xia Yu revealed his teeth slightly.

Zhu Qing shut up immediately.

At the same time, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

Although she didn't see Xia Yu defeat Lei Zhe with the magical egg custard containing food meaning a while ago, she probably knew about Xia Yu pushing open the Lin's Gate. Because of this, Zhu Qingcai murmured, could it be that this junior has made some discoveries in the field of spices after his breakthrough?

…

The light rain fell continuously, like clouds and mist, covering the shopping street.

As dusk passed, the street lights came on one by one.

Christmas trees with bright neon lights can be seen everywhere, and Christmas music can be heard wherever you go. All the restaurants in the shopping street are entertaining customers who have made reservations in advance. The seats are full, and there are queues waiting for meals outside.

At the entrance of the Fog House, Inui Hinata smiled and said to the queue: Couples are given priority, and when couples check out, they will receive a 30% discount. Our store will also give you an exquisite gift!

As a result, the single dog in the crowd was critically injured.

Shopping street entrance.

Chen Yang took a breath and wore a windbreaker and scarf. Next to him was a blonde girl holding his arm.

The blonde girl glanced at the festive neighborhood and said incredulously: Chen, this Christmas food festival is really lively, there are so many guests!

At this time, a young man and woman wearing high school uniforms passed by and talked:

I heard that Xia's main store's Christmas stall will remain open until midnight tonight!

That's right, it's just Christmas Eve. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Xia's shop will no longer have small stalls. The girl gasped and pulled the boy's arm, Come on, we came here by tram. If you go slower, you might have to wait in line. long time!

Xia's shop? The blonde looked at Chen Yang cautiously.

Chen Yang's face was in a trance.

His mother, Lin Qingfeng, had a video call a few days ago that left a deep impression on him.

Lei Zhe was defeated and fled Japan in panic.

This news made Chen Yang unable to calm down for a long time. Moreover, the one who defeated Lei Zhe, the veteran Lin giant, was the young celebrity chef he had planned to take the initiative to launch. Just thinking about Chen Yang makes him cringe.

His mother Lin Qingfeng warned him on the phone: Don't provoke that Xia boy!

These days, Chen Yang hid and did not come to the shop to argue about what spice bread to eat. He silently watched the earthquake-like gourmet party due to Lei Zhe's defeat through his own intelligence channels.

The new Japanese affairs officer has yet to make a decision. It is said that the leader of the gourmet club is very troubled. If the second Lin giant sent is defeated again, the gourmet will be disgraced and become a laughing stock.

It was not until yesterday that Chen Yang calmly accepted the fact that a young Lin Chu had single-handedly influenced the entire food club.

That’s right, it’s Linchu!

Defeating Lei Zhe is the most powerful proof, and no Lin-level promotion ceremony is needed.

After a hundred years, has another evildoer appeared in the Chinese world who can compete with those predecessors? Chen Yang murmured these words, and the blonde held his arm and said firmly, Let's go to the Xia family. shop!

The snacks prepared by Lin Chu at the Christmas Food Festival must be extraordinary, right?
