Chapter 31: The Banquet

After taking a shower, Aoyagi returned to the living room, and when he saw the two of them staying safely, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't make trouble.

"After a long wait, let's get started."

"Oh, it's finally getting started."

In the kitchen, Aoyagi directs Chisato and Twilight to chop up the cleaned vegetables, while she stands by and watches a chicken carefully.

The two of them bought a lot of ingredients, and in addition to a few vegetables, they also bought a chicken. The chicken had been slaughtered, bled out, and eviscerated, which saved Aoyagi a lot of trouble.

Flipping the chicken back and forth for a long time, Aoyagi recalled the knife techniques he learned from the store manager, and thought about the position and order of the knives everywhere.

After a long time, Aoyagi roughly decided on the plan of the next knife, picked up the knife on the side, neatly cut the first knife, passed by the ribs, did not hurt the adjacent muscles, and after a few more cuts around, he lightly picked out the ribs.

After successfully removing the ribs, Aoyagi's confidence increased, and he also felt the touch, and he concentrated on the knife and chicken in front of him, and the speed of the knife became faster.

After dealing with the other ingredients, Chisato and the two looked at Aoyagi's knife technique with some artistic atmosphere, their eyes were firmly attracted, and even Chisato watched quietly and did not make a sound.

Time flies while concentrating, and Aoyagi feels that it doesn't take long for the chicken to be done.

Next to the board, the skeleton of the chicken is neatly placed, and on the board, there is a boneless chicken lying on its stomach.

Relieved, Aoyagi felt very tired, but very happy. His knife technique has broken through a small level, and he has been able to completely remove all the bones of the small fowl.

Perhaps it was because of the previous stimulation that his spirit has been improved, and his control and spirit have reached the requirements, and he is now able to complete the deboning of the chicken non-stop at one time, instead of the same as before, when he needs to rest during the deboning, in order to recover the lost mind.

At this level, he can be regarded as a preliminary teacher, and after that, he can gradually participate in the kitchen work of the barbecue restaurant.

Just as he was basking in the joy of the breakthrough in his sword technique, a voice pulled him back.

"Wow, Aoyagi, your swordsmanship is so beautiful. If you use a ninja knife in the future, you will definitely be very powerful! Chisato looked amazed.

Although Kawamata was also amazed by Aoyagi's knife skills, he didn't quite agree with Chisato's point of view: "Chisato, there is such a big difference between a ninja knife and a kitchen knife, how can it be confused?" ”

"Now that you've cut the vegetables, go and rest, and I'll do the rest." Stopping their quarrel, Aoyagi told them to leave so they could cook.

Chuan pushed Chisato away, who was still chanting Aoyagi's knife technique, and Aoyagi felt that the world was finally quiet.

Pick up the peeled potatoes, cut them into small pieces, and puree them with a knife. The whole chicken is then chopped into pieces, blanched in boiling water, and then removed.

Light the fire, pour the bottom oil into the pot, wait until the oil is a little undulating, as if it is about to boil, Aoyagi pour in an appropriate amount of white sugar, stir with a spatula, and after a while, the sugar in the pot will melt and foam. At this time, the chicken pieces are poured in, and under the stir-frying, each chicken piece is caramelized and shiny.

After adding a spoonful of salt, a little garlic and shredded ginger, Aoyagi pours the mashed potatoes into the pan and stir-fries.

After stirring evenly, add water to a small half pot, reduce the heat to low the green willow, cover the pot and let the chicken simmer slowly.

Halfway through the preparation of the meat dish, Aoyagi prepares the soup. The soup is much easier to make.

Add dried kelp (kelp) and two pork bones to the soup pot, pour water into the green willow and bring to a boil over high heat. When the water in the pot is rising and there are plenty of bubbles rising, Aoyagi adds a pinch of salt and miso, covers the lid and simmers over low heat, waiting for the temperature and time to turn it into a delicious soup.

There is meat and soup, and of course, vegetables are not missing.

Pour the crushed garlic into the pot of oil that has been boiled until it is eight ripe and stir-fry, and when the smell of the garlic is dissipated, Aoyagi pours the oily wheat vegetables into the pot and stir-fry quickly. The crackling sound gradually became quieter, and the oily wheat cabbage was also lying on its stomach on the bottom of the pot, which felt much smaller than the scene when the vegetable leaves were almost filling the entire pot at the beginning.

At this time, Aoyagi added a little water to the pot, then added the remaining minced garlic and an appropriate amount of salt, stir-fried to taste, and then put the dish on a plate.

After frying the greens, Aoyagi estimated that the potato chicken should be almost cooked.

When I opened the pot, sure enough, the chicken was cooked thoroughly, and the amount of water evaporated was just right, dense and not watery, but not too sticky. Brown-red chicken, yellow mashed potatoes, and sprinkled with verdant green onions, this dish is colorful and looks good.

Beckoning Chisato Oe and the two to bring the dish out, Aoyagi lifted the lid of the soup pot, tried the saltiness of the soup, added a little salt and miso, stirred and simmered for ten minutes, then stopped the fire and went to the restaurant with the soup.

In the restaurant, Chisato Oe had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when he saw Aoyagi's figure, he couldn't wait to come up and take away the soup.

"Great, the meal is finally ready. The scent kept sticking into my nose, causing my stomach to growl all the time. ”

The dishes and chopsticks have been set up, and the rice has been served. It seems that Chisato really can't wait.

After a busy day, I didn't eat much at noon, and Aoyagi's stomach was hungry.

Quickly sat down, Aoyagi said while picking up vegetables, "Let's go!" ”

Chisato doesn't say anything about what she doesn't have, she eats directly, and Twilight's speed is not slow, and the speed of putting down chopsticks is fast.

The silence at the dinner table lasted for a long time, and all three of them ate to themselves.

Perhaps satisfying most of the appetite, the speed of picking up vegetables began to slow down.

"Ah, Aoyagi, your cooking is delicious." Oe smiled and praised Aoyagi's cooking skills.

When Chuan heard this, he glanced at Oe with disdain, scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes with a spoon, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly, and said: "The mashed potatoes have a soft taste, and because they are scattered, they are in full contact with the chicken and ingredients, and they absorb their flavors well, and they are rich in layers and have an attractive aroma, which is very suitable for bibimbap." ”

After a pause and tasting a piece of chicken, Chuan continued, "The chicken has no bones removed, so it's much easier to eat." In addition, the heat is just right, the chicken is elastic and strong, and it feels more laborious when you bite into it, and it feels like eating meat. ”

"Oh, Twilight, we've known each other for so long, and it's rare to see you say so much at once." Chisato smacked his lips, "And he said it very professionally." ”

Twilight seemed a little embarrassed and didn't answer Chisakuri's words.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Dinner ends quickly, and Twilight and Chisato help clean up and go back.

Aoyagi returned to his bedroom, ready to continue studying.
