Rebirth as a Cooking God

It does taste different.

After drinking the hot tea that I just brewed, the taste has indeed improved, and it's not a little bit.

grunt.

Drinking tea on an empty stomach is not good for your health, Xia Yu rubbed his stomach, took a few sips of tea in a row, and after tasting it carefully, he reluctantly put down the teacup.

Bright eyes.

The tea ceremony is the way to appreciate the beauty of tea.

This is a kind of art of life, life etiquette, and also a way of self-cultivation.

The earliest and perfect tea ceremony came from the Sencha tea ceremony created by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, Xia Yu thought that the tea ceremony was just a show, and the complicated ceremony was just for viewing. In the past two years, after the old man's words and deeds, his concept has changed.

Rigorous tea art is just like cooking art.

Ordinary people can also cook stir-fried vegetables and tea, but compared to professionalism, that kind of cooking and tea art is much more free and easy.

When any skill is promoted to the professional level, it must become serious, rigorous, and meticulous.

Just now, Xia Yu digested the extra tea ceremony knowledge in his mind, just like a doctor of tea who has been trained in tea ceremony for many years, after tasting the tea he cooked, he secretly gave a thumbs up.

Expected!

This thousand points of fame are well worth it!

After taking a few sips of hot tea, my sleepy head suddenly sobered up.

Tea should be paired with dim sum...

Xia Yu smacked his mouth, was hungry, scooped up water and planned to make breakfast by himself, and also included Anya and Mu Xiaoyue's share by the way.

Boom! Boom!

Someone is knocking on the kitchen door.

What are you doing? Xia Yu was busy at the kitchen counter with her back to the door, and answered angrily.

...

An eerie silence.

Thought it was the female man Mu Xiaoyue, but did not hear any reply, Xia Yu poured the boiled water into the copper basin filled with flour, glanced back, and then was startled.

At the door, it wasn't Anya or Mu Xiaoyue, but a slim young girl.

Morita Maki seems to have dressed up specially today, with a white shirt on her upper body, a black skirt underneath, a pair of brown uniform shoes on her feet, and black cotton socks covering her calves. Full of youthfulness.

She obviously knows the advantages of her temperament, perhaps because she helped her family take care of the pastry shop since she was a child. Morita Maki is far more mature than her peers. The long-sleeved white shirt not only sets off her well-developed girlish curves, but also puts her Maturity and gentleness stand out. If the lower body is not a short skirt, but a lady's suit trousers, she is a beautiful working woman.

Xia Yu's eyes lit up, and he whistled in his heart.

I have to say that Morita Maki's outfit fits his taste very well.

Why don't you make any noise when it's here? Xia Yu laughed while kneading the dough.

squeak--

You squeak!

Xia Yu felt pain in the egg, so she stopped and pointed to the half-formed dough in the copper basin, I'll leave the kneading to you, pastry master.

no problem!

Today Morita Maki became playful. She was obviously familiar with the restaurant's kitchen. She rolled up the sleeves of her white shirt, carefully washed her fair and slender hands, and stood beside Xia Yu.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.

Seeing Morita Maki's kneading skills, Xia Yu nodded secretly.

The basic skills are very good. Although many machines have replaced handwork in modern pastries, as a chef, you should not rely too much on machines. The basic skills that should be practiced still need to be accumulated through practice.

Maki Morita, as she said, has never given up on her culinary skills. She has been accumulating and improving over the years, waiting for transformation.

It seems that she is best at RB's traditional dim sum. Xia Yu thought while resting her chin.

Morita's Confectionery is also considered a time-honored brand, not to mention the craftsmanship of the owner, Uncle Morita. According to the memory of the body, the taiyaki, sakura mochi, dorayaki, mochi, and dumplings made by Morita Maki are all very good.

She can probably be described as ingenious.

However, pastry is only a specialization direction. Morita Maki once participated in the selection of Totsuki's middle school, so she is definitely good at not only pastry.

While Morita Maki was kneading the noodles, Xia Yu was not idle. He took out a piece of fresh pork from the freezer, picked up the kitchen knife, and cut and chopped until it turned into pureed meat.

The next step is to marinate the meat, add salt, soy sauce and sesame oil and stir well.

You can put the water soaked with onion and ginger in it and stir together, or you can chop the ginger and onion and mix it in. Xia Yu mixed the two, added ginger and onion water, and a little chopped green onion and stirred.

Morita Maki had already kneaded the dough, stepped aside, stared at him who was busy with shining eyes, Are you making steamed buns?

right!

Xia Yu undertook the following work, cutting, rolling, and stuffing the dough. In just a short while, the three-layer steamer on the kitchen counter was filled with steamed buns.

Set the steamer basket over the steamer on the stovetop and turn on the fire.

hum

The faint blue flames bloomed. Xia Yu washed his hands gracefully before staring at the girl waiting beside him.

Remember what I said last night?

You really want to help me?

Morita Maki opened her mouth slightly, and said hesitantly, However, the examination of the transfer students of the Yuanyue Advanced Division is much more difficult than the selection of the middle division. Out of a hundred candidates, I am afraid that only one or two pass.

The students of Yuanyue's advanced department are basically directly promoted from the middle department. Before graduation, these students from the middle department have been screened. Even the internal direct promotion assessment is not necessarily easy.

It would take time for the steamed buns to be cooked. Facing the girl's question, Xia Yu didn't answer, but turned around and took out a box of fresh eggs wrapped in plastic wrap from the place where the ingredients were stored.

Use eggs for cooking, no matter it's snacks or anything, as long as I'm satisfied.

Pushing a box of eggs into the girl's hand, Xia Yu said so.

Egg...cooking?

Morita Maki tilted her head and tapped her rosy lower lip with her finger, not understanding Xia Yu's meaning for a while.

Make egg dishes and get his approval?

Then what?

The girl didn't know that Xia Yu actually asked her to prepare for the transfer student exam in advance, in other words, it was a rehearsal and warm-up for the exam.

Facing Xia Yu's calm eyes, Morita Maki nodded after thinking for a while, Okay, Ah Yu.

Although I don't know what you are thinking for the time being, but if you say you want to help me, you must be helping me. After all, since the last selection of Yuanyue, you haven't tasted my craft for two years. This time Let you see my progress! I said I didn’t give up if I didn’t give up!”

Morita Maki suddenly became serious.

Xia Yu silently retreated to the door of the kitchen, quietly staring at Morita Maki who lowered her head in thought, curious in her heart, what kind of cooking would she use eggs for?

Whether it is Western, Japanese or Chinese, eggs are the most basic ingredients.

pastry?

This possibility is the highest, after all, it is a specialization, and eggs can make many delicious snacks.

If the normal scenario continues, at the end of March, in the examination room for transfer students of the Yuanyue Higher Department, Nakiri Erina would hold an egg and scare away all the candidates except Xinghei Soshin.

He hopes to help Morita Maki appear in that examination room and pass the examination successfully.

This is also another way of compensation, which can also be said to be repayment of debts for the predecessor.

Ending that relationship due to force majeure, and leaving a good girl dry for so long, Xia Yu wondered if he could not have a clear conscience.

Besides, wouldn't it be interesting to ask Morita Maki to go to Yuanyue instead of him?

Xia Yu began to daydream.
