-9- Why are you so proficient all of a sudden?

Nishino Renyin followed Nishino Takashi in the direction of the back kitchen, and before leaving, he saw Kyoko secretly winking at him in the narration and making a "come on" action, so he also quietly greeted with his eyes, saying that he would not disappoint his sister.

It's very early now, it's only eight o'clock, Nishino Renyin followed Nishino Takashi into the back kitchen and looked around.

Small restaurants such as Nishino Ryokiya, known as izakaya in Japan, are an indispensable part of Japanese culture, and the back kitchen here is different from that of domestic restaurants, but it is actually integrated with the lobby, and the customers in the lobby can see every move of cooking here, like a performance stage - fresh fish and shellfish are taken out in front of the face to cook to emphasize the freshness of the food, and many izakaya do this.

"Do you know how to cook?" Takashi Nishino said lightly.

"Yes."

"Hmph, cooking is such a thing as a fool, there's nothing to be proud of!"

Nishino Renyin: "......"

I'm not proud.

"Will you make soft-boiled eggs?" Takashi Nishino asked again.

Soft-boiled eggs are in high demand in the store, and the method is simple, making them suitable for beginners.

"No, it won't."

"Let's start with this." Nishino Takashi said, also calmly took a few eggs from the refrigerator and began to demonstrate them to Nishino Renyin.

He first washed the eggs, then heated a pot of water, and then put the eggs in one by one, looking no different from the steps of a normal boiled egg.

"Remember, you're making soft-boiled eggs, don't wait for the water to boil, but wait for bubbles to pop up."

Nishino Takashi put all the eggs into the pot, boiled silently for a while, and after a few minutes, took out the boiled eggs from the pot and put them in ice water to cool, while turning his head to look at Nishino Lianyin: "Cook for a total of seven minutes, and after boiling, put it in ice water to cool, and the soft-boiled eggs are finished, remember?" ”

Nishino Renyin nodded: "Remember." ”

After the boiled egg was cooled, Takashi Nishino picked one up, peeled the shell and cut it, and showed it to Nishino Renyin - the outer layer of egg whites is similar to that of boiled eggs, but the orange yolk in the center is a slightly coagulated liquid state, which looks very beautiful.

"Note that the larger eggs take longer to boil and the smaller eggs take less time, now try it yourself."

After saying that, the old man handed the boiled eggs to the old lady and Kyoko sitting on the other side of the kitchen counter - the two of them had already sat silently in front of the kitchen table when the soft-boiled eggs were almost cooked, and they didn't speak, just watched quietly, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Okay." Nishino Renyin.

There is really no difficulty in the practice, and the only difficulty for novices may be the control of time.

He quickly tried it himself, and Takashi Nishino watched quietly - he had the impression that this grandson had never even entered the kitchen a few times, and although it was not difficult to cook a soft-boiled egg, it was not easy to succeed in the first attempt.

Besides, cooking takes experience, and you can look at the time on your phone to determine how long it is seven minutes, but you can't always pinch a watch next to you every time you cook. And the store is so busy, how can you go to the watch to pinch the time, in the end you have to rely on feeling and experience accumulation, which is similar to cooking instant noodles.

A few minutes later.

Nishino Renyin painted the soft-boiled egg made of the gourd in the same way.

He also learned from Takashi Nishino to take the eggs out of the boiling water and cool them down when he was almost done, not the kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder where every step of cooking has to be refined to a few minutes and seconds. And with the help of lv1's cooking skills, he actually has a pretty accurate grasp of the cooking time, and he doesn't rely on looking at the watch.

"Done? Come, let me see. ”

Takashi Nishino was preparing for the business for a while, and he was holding a half-cut white radish in his hand, and he immediately walked over after noticing that Nishino Renyin's soft-boiled egg was ready.

Like Nishino Renyin, the old man is actually quite looking forward to the result, but the difference is that he is looking forward to the failure of his grandson's soft-boiled eggs, and then he is forced by him to help make soft-boiled eggs in the store all day - he doesn't trust Nishino Renyin, and is ready to hit this grandson's interest and confidence in cooking first, and let him experience the boredom and tedium that he has to experience in the process of getting started with cooking, so as to determine whether his grandson really wants to learn to cook with him.

If you can't bear the hardship at all, then don't learn!

"Give." Nishino handed over the shelled and cut soft-boiled eggs. Takashi Nishino took a closer look and found that the soft-boiled eggs made by this grandson looked exactly the same as the ones he had just made.

Novice-made soft-boiled eggs are prone to complete solidification of the yolk or no coagulation at all because of the poor grasp of the heat, while the real soft-boiled eggs need a slightly solidified egg yolk - don't just run out when everything is opened, and don't do the same as boiled eggs.

Nishino Renyin did just the right thing, and the yolk in the middle was slightly solidified and still flowing, which completely met the standard of soft-boiled eggs sold in restaurants.

Takashi Nishino looked at the soft-boiled egg in his hand, then looked at Nishino Renyin, and then silently stuffed the egg in his mouth, ate it, and found that it tasted good.

succeeded at one time, Lianyin's grandson was lucky, and he directly avoided the fate of being a soft-hearted egg all day.

"The soft-boiled eggs made by Lianyin are also delicious." The old lady on the other side of the kitchen counter also tasted it, and then smiled and encouraged, "Amazing, it did so well as soon as it came up, no worse than what your grandfather did." ”

Kyoko also nodded: "Better than what I did." She had a high failure rate when she made soft-boiled eggs, but now that she saw her brother succeed in one attempt, she was once again sure that her brother might have an extraordinary talent in cooking, and she was very happy.

The old man suddenly snorted lightly, and muttered a little sourly: "It's all basic methods, what's so strange when it's done." ”

Then he glanced at Nishino Renyin again, and continued: "The soft-boiled eggs will be done, then the next thing is for me to teach you how to fry the soft-boiled eggs, I'll demonstrate it first, you can see it." ”

Unlike boiled eggs, fried eggs cannot be refrigerated, so Takashi Nishino took one out of the box with eggs on the ground after emphasizing it.

First pour oil in the pot, heat it, the old man skillfully broke the eggshell, poured out the egg white, and then poured the egg yolk in the middle of the egg white, and finally heated it over low heat - the egg white part only takes three minutes to solidify, five minutes when the yolk periphery will begin to solidify, twelve minutes when the egg yolk is completely cooked, what kind of fried eggs are generally controlled according to their own preferences.

Soon, the old man's fried eggs were completed, and the whole process was smooth, as if he had practiced thousands of times.

Nishino Renyin watched very seriously from the side, he hadn't even beaten an egg before, but, after having the increase of lv1 cooking skills and cooking experience bonus book, he had a feeling that he had already mastered it just by observing the process.

Then, after waiting for Nishino Takashi to nod, he himself picked up an egg and completed all the processes under the cold and ruthless gaze of the old man, and he was only a little slower than Nishino Takashi in terms of speed.

This time, there was more surprise in the old man's eyes.

The focus he just focused on was not the omelette but the beating of eggs, for his grandson, who had never been in the kitchen, it should be very unskilled in beating eggs, and it was normal to leave broken eggshells in the pot and bowl with too much force. And Nishino Renyin's egg-beating action just now was too smooth, not at all like a novice in the kitchen, but like a ruthless old chef like him.

It's weird, Lianyin hasn't cooked since she was a child! When I went to see their sister and brother last week, didn't this grandson still look like he was doing nothing at home?
