Xia Yu didn't know that he had just locked himself in the kitchen, and in addition to Sakamoto and Ryoko Lina, the small shop welcomed another customer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ah Yu—"

A slightly panting voice came through the half-hidden door.

Sakamoto and Ryoko Rina were surprised to see a uniformed high school boy, apparently just out of school, holding on to the threshold, as if he had been running all the way from the Ueno tram stop, with sweat on his forehead.

"Hey, where is Ah Yu?"

This boy is none other than An Yilun. Having said that, in the past ten days, of course, he has maintained close contact with his employer Xia Yu, and it is a coincidence that just last night, the homepage of Xia's shop was set up, and An Yilun also came over in person this time, just to convey the good news and invite credit, to prove that he did not get his salary in vain.

I didn't see Xia Yu, I only saw two guests with raw faces, An Yilun also wiped his sweat, and started to walk to the kitchen, but was stopped by a woman.

"You just wait. Ryoko Rina pulled back her sleeves and looked at the time displayed on the small and delicate lady's watch, "It will be at least an hour before he comes out of the kitchen, and it's best not to disturb him in the meantime." ”

"Uh......" An Yilun could only find a place to sit down.

"Would you like tea?"

Ryoko Lina simply regarded this as her own small shop, skillfully walked into the bar, found fried green tea leaves and a pot of water that was still very hot, put her palm on the outside of the kettle, and tested the water temperature, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "It's okay to make tea at this temperature." ”

"Then, then I'll trouble you!" An Yilun also scratched his head.

Tea?

Hearing this, Sakamoto looked at his desktop, the fried rice plate he had just eaten had not been taken away, and the hot tea that Xia Yu had specially boiled water to brew for him in front of him was still fragrant.

Sniffing the aroma of tea, stomach acid seemed to be intensifying the secretion, and Sakamoto felt that he was missing out on the delicacies beyond fried rice, so he couldn't help but push the frame of his glasses, picked up the water cup and took a sip. When the tea flows between the throat and intestines, click, the hand holding the water cup suddenly grasps it, and the green tendons bloom, which is the manifestation of Sakamoto's inner agitation.

"Green tea ...... of this quality"

In the eyes of others, Sakamoto is still the same Sakamoto, and his cool aura is still strong, but at this moment, the churning in Sakamoto's heart is only clear to him, a sip of tea in his stomach, his body is warm, he almost can't suppress the comfortable enjoyment, and makes a chirping sound.

Ryoko Lina also made a cup of tea for An Yilun, her tea-making skills are not weaker than Xia Yu, after all, Ryoko Lina is a grandmaster-level figure of 'kaiseki cuisine', this kind of banquet is indispensable for hot tea and tea rice, and the tea ceremony can be said to be one of the necessary skills.

"It's delicious-!" An Yilun also swept away the tiredness of rushing from the private Toyonosaki School Park, and his face was filled with a happy smile from the heart, and there was even a flash of water in the corners of his eyes.

An Yilun didn't know that he was entertained by a female special chef. Just such a cup of hot tea is not something that anyone can enjoy. He was undoubtedly a lucky one. At least a little luckier than Sakamoto's boss.

And in the kitchen, Xia Yu was engrossed in making a tofu dish.

The quest [Initial Use of Fantasy Ingredients] requires that the ingredient 'Frost Tofu' be fused into the recipe "Magic Mapo Tofu" to get an improved glowing recipe.

Magic mapo tofu is Xia Yu's earliest mastered glowing cuisine, and it is also a dish that he is confident of achieving flawless cooking skills beyond the limitations of the ingredients themselves.

'Six flavors in one'.

Spicy, hot, fragrant, colorful, numb and crispy, is the essence of magic mapo tofu.

At present, Xia Yu can be said to have grasped the mystery of 'hot', 'color' and 'crispy' in the improved recipe, and the rest, 'spicy', 'fragrant' and 'hemp', is actually the use of spices such as pepper, pepper, and peppercorn.

That's right!

The improvement of the recipe of "Magic Mapo Tofu" is closely related to his use of spices. Because of the change in the main ingredients, Xia Yu is looking for the balance of spices contained in the cuisine.

"Bang Bang ......"

I deliberately took the [Broken Jade Knife] out to cut the tofu, and with a few clicks, as if using a simple cross chopping technique, the knife flashed, and the 'frost tofu' that was still wet on the desk was cut into equal pieces.

These days, Xia Yu's training of knife skills has not stopped for a moment.

Although the talent point level of [Fierce Bull Green Dragon Slash] is currently fixed at the value of "1", Xia Yu's use of this dark stunt has long exceeded the level value that floats on the surface.

Moreover, by using a thick large kitchen knife to practice the dark stunt to a certain extent, Xia Yu found that when he used other small kitchen knives to handle ingredients, he had a more meticulous grasp of strength. To put it simply, the micro-operation is even more terrifying, and the basic skill of the full level of 10 points of knife skill is obviously not the upper limit of the knife skill.

I have to say that the appearance of 'frost tofu' is very beautiful, and the fat is like frost and snow, which is distributed in tofu.

Even if you don't mention the appearance, the quality of 'frost tofu' itself is much stronger than ordinary tofu. It can be called special quality. Although it has the disadvantage of being rich in oil, the tofu itself is rich in water, tender and refreshing, and when used in cooking, the lumpy tofu retains its shape well instead of breaking during stir-frying.

The key is in the oil, Xia Yu has preliminarily solved the problem of tofu oil in recent times.

In fact, the oil contained in 'Frost Tofu' is full of the strong fragrance of native plants, and the aftertaste is also closely related to this strong fragrance.

Therefore, Xia Yu's method is not to remove the strong fragrance, which is unrealistic, but to completely integrate the strong fragrance into the cuisine, which may make the improvement work very difficult, but once successful, the improved 'magic mapo tofu' will not be the traditional 'six flavors in one', but 'seven flavors in one', and the extra flavor is the original strong fragrance brought by frost tofu oil!

At present, Xia Yu has found a way to fuse this strong fragrance.

Spices!

Changing his thinking and seeing the aftertaste of frosted tofu itself as a spice, in this way, the original spice balance in the 'Magic Mapo Tofu' recipe was broken, and what Xia Yu wanted to try was to reconstruct a stable spice equation.

An hour later.

"It smells so good!"

When the kitchen door was pushed open, Sakamoto, An Yilun and Ryoko Rina all looked at each other.

Xia Yu sweated on his forehead, and brought out a large plate of fresh and hot mapo tofu, "Let's try it-"

Put the white plate on the table, find four pairs of chopsticks, Xia Yu took one pair for himself, and the other three pairs were assigned to Sakamoto, An Yilunya and Ryoko Lina.

Ryoko Lina first got off her chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender, red chili fat tofu, gently opened her cherry lips, put it in her mouth, chewed it for a while, and then exhaled and said:

"It's very close to glowing cuisine!"
