-7- Cooking skills
Nishino Lianyin didn't expect that a task that seemed very dangerous would be completed by him without danger.
Having dealt with the evil spirits in the spirit world, he opened his eyes and slowly got up from the ground. It's a bright spring overhead, not a dark night. He rubbed his temples and pulled out his phone to glance at the time, judging that he should have been unconscious for a maximum of five minutes.
It's only five minutes, maybe even shorter, this evil spirit can't do it!
No wonder it was green, it seems that it is not without reason!
Nishino Renyin patted the dust on his body, and his eyes fell on the decadent handsome guy who was slumped in front of his house not far away.
This person's soul must have been destroyed by the evil spirit, and it is unknown whether he will turn back into a vegetative state or be brain dead.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to pretend not to see it and leave directly. Anyway, when a passer-by passed by and saw the man lying on the ground unconscious, he should have called the police for him.
Then, walking along the path towards the street, Nishino thought about the reason why he was able to defeat evil spirits - according to the system, evil spirits are a great threat to ordinary people, but why do they become so vulnerable when facing themselves?
He's just an ordinary high school student!
Thinking about the words of the evil spirit after being kicked over by him, and the identity of his own traverser, Nishino Renyin got a more reliable answer at present, that is, he fused the soul of the original owner in the process of traversing, resulting in his soul being much more powerful than ordinary people, and he also had a strong resistance to the spiritual attack of the evil spirit.
Of course, the main reason is that this evil spirit is too weak, and if you change it to a more powerful one, he may really overturn.
After slaying the target youkai, on the way back, sitting in the corner of the last row of the bus, Nishino Renne turned on the system and harvested the drops from the chef's evil spirit.
A cooking skill experience bonus book.
At first, Nishino thought that using this skill book would allow him to have cooking skills at the level of a high-end restaurant chef, but after using it, his skill bar was empty, only to find out that it was just a bonus book, and the effect was to gain more experience when he practiced cooking.
However, although it is a life skill, it still has to be brushed slowly by itself, and Nishino Renyin is not disappointed.
After all, monster hunting or something is just a side job, and living a good life is the most important thing. Besides, he has mastered the cooking skills, so he doesn't have to worry about Kyoko having to go home to cook every day after working the night shift, which can be regarded as relieving Kyoko's pressure.
Back in Shangjing District, after getting off the bus, Nishino Renne went to the supermarket on the way back.
He plans to start his culinary training tonight, so naturally he has to prepare the ingredients in advance. As a newcomer to cooking, he didn't plan to do any difficult famous dishes, so he bought some potatoes, chicken breasts, onions and carrots or something, plus a pack of curry cubes, and prepared to go back to make curry rice - authentic Japanese curry rice tastes sweet, often using apples or tomatoes or something, but he is not sweet, so he didn't buy it, and if he thinks it's too spicy, there is applesauce in the fridge.
Walking out of the supermarket and walking along the path for a while, it was already a little dark.
Nishino Renne arrived home, changed her shoes at the entrance and listened quietly for a while, and found that Kyoko didn't seem to be up yet, so she walked into the kitchen with a bag and prepared to start making curry.
He can only say that he knows a little about cooking, he hasn't touched the kitchen utensils a few times, and he is not sure how the curry he turned back to brew tastes, so he plans to taste it himself after making it, and throw it away if the taste is not good, lest some dark cuisine poison the gentle and virtuous sister.
Walking to the sink in the kitchen, Nishino first washed rice and cooked rice—he was definitely not at ease with such simple things as cooking.
When the rice cooker was cooking, he took the large pieces of chicken breast out of the bag and took it to the sink to wash it, and the rest of the ingredients followed the same steps.
The process of making curry rice is really simple, it is nothing more than cutting the selected ingredients, stir-frying, and then boiling the soup with curry powder, and the curry is finished in one pot, and then poured over the boiled white rice. Nishino Renyin doesn't have any plans to add messy things to it, he wants to brush up more experience now, and when the skill level goes up, there is naturally no problem if he wants to innovate.
After washing the ingredients, Nishino Renon put the chicken breast on the cutting board, intending to cut the chicken into dices. However, he has no knife skills at all, and the large pieces of chicken breast are cut messily by him, round and not square, large and small, which can simply drive obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, as time went on, when he finished cutting the potatoes and began to cut the carrots, he could clearly feel that his knife skills were becoming more and more proficient, and the cut was much more regular.
This experience bonus book is a bit powerful...... Nishino looked at her increasingly skilled hands in surprise, and then cut the ingredients and piled them separately.
He then stir-fried the diced chicken, carrots, and onions in a pot, then added water to make a soup, boiled the soup completely over high heat, and finally closed the heat and waited quietly - it would take a quarter of an hour or so before adding the curry cubes. After adding the curry cubes, you also have to wait 10 minutes for it to completely dissolve before you can add the potatoes, and the last step is to cook and stir while cooking on low heat, and the potatoes are almost ready to eat.
In the process of waiting, Nishino Renyin also has an additional "cooking" skill on the skill panel, although it is only at the level of Lv1 at present, but it is already a good start for him - most of the skills are Lv0 when he first starts learning, and will not be displayed in the skill panel, and Lv1 means that he has successfully started.
Soon, the curry was finished, and Nishino Renne served some rice on a plate, poured the curry on it, and tasted it tentatively.
It feels pretty good!
It's only a Lv1 cooking skill, but it's good enough for beginners in terms of taste!
"It's so fragrant, how does it smell like curry, Lianyin, did you buy curry rice and come back?" Kyoko's voice suddenly sounded in the direction of the hallway, and Nishino Renyin turned her head to see her yawning towards the kitchen, as if she had just woken up and was about to get up to make dinner.
"I tried to make curry rice myself, sister, would you like to try it?" Nishino Renyin.
"You did it?" Kyoko looked at him in surprise, then walked to the table, "Well, then I'll try it." ”
Seeing this, Nishino Renyin got up and prepared to serve another plate, but when he returned, he found that Kyoko was already eating the plate he had just eaten a little bit of—Kyoko didn't seem to notice that he had already eaten this plate.
Nishino hesitated for a moment, not reminding her.
After all, they are brothers and sisters, this ...... It shouldn't be a big deal.
"How?" Nishino asked from the side.
"Delicious! Well done! Although he was prepared to praise his brother no matter how it tasted, so as not to hit his self-confidence, after eating a few bites, Kyoko unexpectedly found that his brother had made curry rice for the first time...... The taste is ok! Although there are small flaws, it is harmless!
Is this really the first time my brother has done it?
It's 10,000 times better than the first time she made it.
"It's not hard to eat." Nishino smiled.
"Sister Lianyin's cooking will never be disgusted." Kyoko said softly, and then reached out and touched her brother's head - this action was often used by her mother before, and after the death of her parents, she had always had the habit of deliberately imitating her mother when she was alive, and this head touching kill was also one of them. However, she is petite, and she is not even 1.6 meters tall, and if her brother is standing, she often has to stand on tiptoe to reach it, so she only picks her brother to touch his head when he is sitting.
Happy to eat dinner, a few minutes later, Kyoko suddenly remembered a question, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Why did my brother suddenly start cooking?
With my brother's lazy personality, I never take the initiative to take out the garbage in my room, so it's strange to try to cook such a troublesome thing, right?
She was lost in deep thought.
Could it be that his own food was too unpalatable and was disgusted by his younger brother?
Or does my brother not want to be himself? Is he planning to move out in the future, so he started to teach himself to cook and prepare for independent living?
No, no, no! Maybe there is a deeper reason, you have to think about whether there is something unusual in the past two days......
What does it have to do with the girl my brother went out to see in the morning?
