Rebirth as a Cooking God

After the routine cleaning every morning, Xia Yu returned to the back kitchen with the wooden basin, but stopped abruptly at the back door of the kitchen, her nose kept twitching, sniffing the tangy aroma coming out of the kitchen.

Stomach growling.

Having said that, the breakfast on the first day of spring break has not been settled yet.

Xia Yu put the wooden basin away and went into the back kitchen. As expected, the old man was cooking two bowls of breakfast on the kitchen counter, and it seemed that he had reached the last few steps.

The sweet smell came out of the pot. The old man picked up the pot and poured the prepared and boiled brown sugar water into two large bowls, and then sprinkled fried peanuts, crushed walnut kernels, and finally a little green onion into the bowls.

Can't help swallowing saliva. Xia Yu stared firmly at the two bowls of breakfast on the kitchen counter, and murmured, I'm sorry, I'm turning into a sweetie today.

The old man made bean curd.

It was a very common snack in the mainland of the motherland, but since Biqi came to this parallel world, it was the first time that Xia Yu saw the familiar hometown food in Tokyo. I don't know why, my nose is sore, I just want to eat.

After washing his hands, Xia Yu came over, A bowl for me?

The old man nodded.

Xia Yu was not polite at all, took the bowl and left, came to the store and found a place to sit down casually, scooped a spoonful of tofu flowers out of the bowl with a white porcelain spoon.

He opened his eyes slightly.

This bowl of tofu flower is different from the snacks in his impression. The main difference is that the tofu flower is too crystal clear, like jelly, and the spoon is still shaking when scooped up.

Tofu Flower can do this... a work of art? Xia Yu opened his mouth wide.

It's beyond common sense.

Have you ever seen white jade-like tofu flowers? In the past, Xia Yu would definitely not believe it. He sniffed it carefully, and inhaled the tangy fragrance of soy milk, and there was no doubt in his heart.

Let's eat and see first.

After making a bowl of ramen last night, the old man obviously changed his attitude. For example, the breakfast now seems a bit showy to Xia Yu.

Mo Ming was a little nervous, as if chewing peonies would ruin this artistic delicacy, Xia Yu took a deep breath, stabilized his slightly trembling hand, and brought the spoon close to his mouth.

As soon as you enter the mouth, the fragrance of tofu flower spreads on the tip of the tongue. The flavors of chopped green onion, fried peanuts and walnut kernels do not destroy the fragrance of the bean curd at all, but further enhance the texture and taste. Moreover, tofu flower is like condensed milk, it melts in the mouth, Xia Yu just chewed a few mouthfuls, and then swallowed it, but it turned into liquid food.

It felt as if he was eating soy milk, and his mouth was full of fragrance. At this moment, Xia Yu's mind was full of golden soybeans, and his whole body seemed to be lying on the ocean of harvested soybeans, roaming comfortably.

Before I knew it, a bowl of tofu flower was wiped out.

clang……

The spoon collided pleasantly with the bottom of the bowl, and Xia Yu became sober, glanced at the empty bowl, and couldn't help shrugging, Is this gone?

After savoring the lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth, Xia Yu picked up the empty bowl and went back to the kitchen.

What kind of tofu flower is this? he asked the old man.

Very common vegetarian bean curd... The old man also put the cleaned empty bowl into the bowl without looking back. Tofu flower is the main ingredient, other ingredients are not important.

Xia Yu immediately understood what the old man meant.

Does it imply that the tofu flower is unusual?

Tofu nao and tofu flower are both intermediate products of making tofu. Needless to say, the old man must have made tofu flower from the leftover soy milk when he was making tofu.

In essence, there is no difference in the ingredients of tofu and tofu flowers. The quality of tofu flower also represents the quality of tofu.

Without asking any further questions, Xia Yu patiently waited for the tofu to take shape.

after an hour.

Unwrapping the wooden tray in the kitchen, a large plate of fresh tofu appeared in Xia Yu's eyes.

His pupils shrank slightly.

Just looking at the whiteness and delicate color of the tofu, you can tell that the quality is extraordinary. Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, then tentatively stretched out his index finger, and lightly poked on the surface of the tofu. Boom, the strength of the rebound made his eyes look surprised.

At this time, a very unfamiliar message popped up in front of Xia Yu's eyes:

[Water Tofu] is of excellent quality and is the main ingredient of various dishes. The system recommends that the host use this high-quality ingredient to cook Magic Mapo Tofu. The probability of glowing dishes will increase...

Identify ingredients?

Xia Yu was astonished. Does the God of Cooking system still have this function?

He couldn't help but slapped his head and asked, System, how much is my cooking skill now?

lv3.

Yesterday you completed the initial task, your level increased by one, and you got one idle talent point. The system replied diligently.

By the way, with my current culinary skill level, where can I use my talent points?

Knife skills and heat, these are two basic talents. Of course, the host can also allocate two talent points to the option of 'ingredient identification' to strengthen the system's verification function. The system said, Attention, the current host chef The skill level is too low, you can only unlock advanced talents when you reach lv10.

Xia Yu thought for a while, then decided: Then 1 point of saber skill, 1 point of heat. Let's divide it like this first.

Request accepted.

In an instant, there was a certain change in his body. Xia Yu relaxed his shoulders, but he couldn't find the source of the change.

Staring at the chopping board and a kitchen knife, Xia Yu reached out to pick up the kitchen knife, staring at the silver blade reflecting his face, with unspeakable surprise in his eyes.

Among the basic qualities of cooking skills, his knife skills must be the best. There is no other reason. Over the years, he has been handling various ingredients for the old man every day and night, and his knife skills have long been practiced.

However, the feeling of holding the knife is obviously different this time.

How should I describe it? It's like a swordsman who has practiced swords for many years. Suddenly, he has an epiphany and has a telepathic connection with the saber that he carries all year round. Human and sword become one.

This statement is a bit exaggerated, but Xia Yu really couldn't find any other words to describe it.

With a slight concentration of eyes, he glanced at the freshly baked white jade water tofu on the wooden tray next to him. The light of the knife flashed by. Xia Yu picked up a piece of water tofu that was still wet and put it on the chopping board. When the chopping board collides, everything goes to the end every time. The movement of cutting the knife is smooth and natural, and there is a faint temperament of an old hotel chef.

Soon, the tofu slices were all over the chopping board, just like pieces of paper. The size and thickness of each piece were hard to see the subtle difference with human eyes.

call……

Through the habit of cutting tofu, Xia Yu suddenly raised his knife skills to a higher level, Xia Yu let out a sigh of relief, with excitement and a hint of horror in his eyes.

This is only one talent point allocated, and the improvement of knife skill is so obvious. If he fully points his knife skill talent in one go, wouldn't he have reached the level of a kitchen god in knife skill?

Suddenly realized there were other people in the kitchen.

Xia Yu groaned, put down the kitchen knife, and glanced over, and sure enough, he saw the old man staring at the tofu slices on the chopping board in a daze.

Presumably the old man has seen his whole process of cutting tofu.

Your sword skills...

The old man wanted to ask, but shook his head again, and left the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
