Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Noon, in the kitchen.

Yang Sikang was stirring the soup in the soup pot to check its quality, while taking care of the steak in the frying pan next to it.

"That's it, Commander."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, George V."

With the sound of steak sizzling, George V's report came to an end.

"This is not hard work at all, but is it okay if you don't look at the steak, Commander?"

Yang Sikang smiled and shook his head slightly:

"Keeping looking at it doesn't make it taste any better, does it?"

While working on other dishes, count on flipping the steak and seasoning it when the time is almost up.

Although steak is a very boastful thing, in Yang Sikang's eyes, it is so simple that it is difficult for him to call it cooking.

In the final analysis, there is only one thing to pay attention to when cooking steak, and that is the heat.

As for the so-called key points such as the taste of the steak, in fact, it basically all depends on the quality of the steak itself.

The better the quality of the steak, the better it will be. If you cook a poor steak, it will be like a bird.

technology?

This thing has some shitty technology.

The taste and other aspects completely depend on the quality of the ingredients themselves, the taste comes from the seasoning of pepper and salt, and the more so-called 'unique' aroma is actually entirely due to the butter.

This is a matter of course. After all, steak was not a high-end thing in the first place, but something for the people at the bottom to satisfy their hunger.

But as we all know, some people always like to do some nice things after eating too much, and these people are very face-conscious and like to put high-end labels on their favorite things.

In terms of his own wishes, he would not even bother to serve this thing on the table.

It was also popularized by the food eaten by the people at the bottom. This thing where a whole piece of beef is simply fried and sprinkled with salt is far inferior to hot pot.

However, George V and Howe were interested in steak, so he reluctantly made it for them.

Place the steak on a plate, use the butter in the pan and the fat from the steak to fry a simple sauce, then pour the sauce over the steak.

Symbolically put a little bit of sauce on the plate to draw an arc and put a few green leaves on it.

Well, a plate of steak that might have sold for dozens of dollars can now cost ten times more.

While thinking about this boring joke, Yang Sikang brought two plates of steak to the table and placed them in front of George V and Hao.

"Please use it, both of you."

The fragrance is tangy and the color is attractive.

There were lines on the surface of the two steaks, and the thick sauce covering part of the steak looked very tempting.

The two sisters couldn't wait to pick up the knife and fork and start cutting. As soon as they started, they looked at each other in understanding.

Judging from the feel alone, they who are very familiar with steak can already preliminarily judge the quality of this steak.

The knife cut easily, but no blood flowed from the incision.

Cut it open as easily as cutting a cake, and use a knife to push the smaller parts apart to expose the pink and tender cut surface. What you can see is the perfect balance of being just cooked but the juices have not yet been dried out.

There is no resistance when cutting with the knife and fork, and the cut beef has not yet become fibrous.

Pick up a small piece, dip it in some sauce and put it in your mouth.

The beef just needs to be chewed slightly and it will be easily bitten in the mouth. The surface is crispy and has the aroma of butter, and the inside is soft and delicious.

The accompanying sauce is not a traditional sauce, but it does have a unique flavor.

Paired with the uniquely prepared butter, even the two people who are familiar with steak were sincerely amazed by the beauty of it.

While the two were enjoying the steak, two bowls of clear soup were also placed in front of them.

After a few bites of steak, the richer seasoning makes people want to spice it up a bit.

Naturally, their eyes fell on the accompanying side dishes.

A mouthful of fresh side dishes, followed by a mouthful of fresh soup made by simmering vegetables without much seasoning, and the taste suddenly became fresh again.

"Commander doesn't seem to care much about steak, but this is great."

Yang Sikang answered while arranging the kitchen utensils:

"I don't care because this thing really has no technical content to me, and I am quite confident about the taste."

Leaving the rest of the cleaning work to Curaçao next to him, Yang Sikang came to the dining table and sat down, smiling as he watched Hao concentrate on cutting the steak.

Although his movements were still graceful, Hao ate quite quickly.

At least it's much faster than George V.

George V swallowed another bite of steak and said with a smile:

"After eating the Donghuang dishes made by the commander, I would definitely feel that eating only steak would be a bit inadequate. But this side dish is really good. Is this also from Donghuang?"

Yang Sikang shook his head slightly:

"This is just an ordinary pickled side dish. I can't tell who it comes from. After all, this kind of thing is available everywhere."

"That's it."

George V was not slow to eat, but her smile never disappeared.

After Hao finished eating, he seemed to be still a little unsatisfied. Yang Sikang saw this and asked:

"Hao, do you want another piece?"

Hao hesitated for a moment and shook his head:

"No, one piece is enough."

Although Hao wanted to have another piece, she also knew that she could not eat the second piece.

After all, in order to meet the requirements of George V, the steak chosen this time was a large steak up to three centimeters thick.

It's actually very solid.

"Indeed, that's enough, but if the commander brings out dessert, that's a different story."

George V added Hao's words beside him, and Yang Sikang also laughed:

"How did you know there was dessert?"

As soon as Yang Sikang finished speaking, Curaçao served desserts to the two of them.

After eating, both George V and Howe leaned back in their chairs with great satisfaction.

The etiquette of being a noble prevented them from losing their composure, but it was too difficult to get up and leave directly when they were so satisfied.

King George V looked at Yang Sikang, his smile unchanged:

"Commander's cooking skills are really amazing. I used to have some confidence in my cooking skills, but now I feel like it's completely insufficient."

"As long as you are satisfied, let you discuss it with the royal people. It is too cheap to just use a steak and dessert as a reward."

Yang Sikang shrugged and said jokingly with a smile.

During this period, George V and Hao were discussing with the royal family as instructed by Yang Sikang.

Most of the time they are away, and now the affairs with the royal family have basically been taken care of by the two of them.

Everything got better results than Yang Sikang expected, and such results were naturally due to George V and Hao.

"It's not difficult to discuss. After all, we are ship girls with royal background. And after all, we are ships of the same class. The Prince of Wales is still easy to talk to."

George V spoke lightly, but Yang Sikang only felt helpless about this.

After all, even if he talks about it himself, he has to be careful. The other party is Guanghui and the Prince of Wales, and the problem cannot be solved by just talking.

For George V, things were much simpler. Although it had just been built not long ago, she was also familiar with Guanghui and the Prince of Wales, and could easily see through some of their little thoughts.

Due to her personality, it was obviously easier for Guanghui and the Prince of Wales, who were also familiar with George V, to let go of their guard against her.
