Chapter 38: The Art of Cooking
Qiao Yu was firmly attracted by the Tao displayed by Zuo Wei.
Although Zovi only used the most ordinary longbow without any superfluous decorations and parts, when she bent the bow and arrows, the whole person embodied the general scene of human bow and bow is so shocking.
"Okay, you can slowly realize it yourself when you go back, and that's all for today's assessment." With a wave of her hand, the longbow turned into a streamer and disappeared. Then, she logged out of the virtual space.
Qiao Yu glanced at the place where the Demon King was standing again, the scattered light rain had disappeared, and there was nothing in place. But it was as if a trace of arrow shadow was still in Qiao Yu's pupils and could not be erased for a long time.
Qiao Yu boarded out of the virtual space and walked out of the simulated warehouse, outside which Dana was waiting for him.
"I didn't expect it, Qiao Yu, you actually asked Zuo Wei to show you a bow straight shot. That's rare, and in the entire community, only Zuo Wei, who has practiced bows and arrows since childhood, can achieve that kind of realm. Maybe you think it's a bit fantasy, but in fact, it's a very ordinary archery, but archery itself is a combination of feeling and technology, and when you pour all your spirit into it, you will experience that peculiar sense of unity, as if you can hit the target you want to hit no matter how you shoot. This is the mental will and intuition that the archers have cultivated. Probably... Hahaha, in fact, I also listened to Zuo Wei. ”
Qiao Yu took a deep breath, "I understand, thank you Dana, I now feel that joining the Kyudo Club is not just for welfare, every skill has its meaning of existence." ”
"It's good that you can think like this, even if you can't fully understand it in a short time, it doesn't matter, take your time." Dana smiled and said, "So, I'll send you to the food club to sign up." ”
Qiao Yu hurriedly said, "How can you trouble Senior Sister, I'll just go by myself!" ”
"Are you sure you won't get lost again? If it's too late, it'll be too late today. ”
Qiao Yu sweated slightly on his head, "No, probably won't get lost." ”
"Okay, I also have friends at the food party, but don't expect me to go through the back door for you, I'm just going to mix up delicious food." Dana endearingly stuck out her tongue.
"Ah, if you stop by the way, you'll be in trouble with Senior Sister!" Qiao Yu was pardoned.
"Let's go, get in the car! By the way, all the members who have passed the assessment will have a party on the weekend, and the new and old members will get to know each other, and remember to read the notice. ”
"Okay, on... Cart?! Qiao Yu suddenly felt that he had done something stupid, maybe it would be better to get lost.
With another galloping drive, Qiao Yu was taken to the destination by Dana, the new location of the food party.
It's a large kitchen with rows of stoves lined up in it, which is quite spectacular. The scene of recruiting new people is also extremely hot, with dozens of people cooking on the stove almost at the same time, and many people handling ingredients next to the stove.
"This is the recruitment of new people at the food fair, it's really hot." Qiao Yu sighed.
"Because the food will be treated very well, and! And most importantly! There's a lot to eat! Dana's eyes lit up at the hot stove area.
"Then senior sister, I'll sign up." Qiao Yu and Dana waved their hands and walked to the registration office.
The reception was a tall young man wearing a white chef's hat, "Freshman Qiao Yu, come, register, and then go to the frozen warehouse over there to pick up the ingredients you need, cook a dish and present it." That's what the assessment is about. ”
Qiao Yu nodded, filled out the electronic registration form on the terminal, received a stove number plate, and walked towards the freezer warehouse.
Dana followed Qiao Yu curiously, "Junior brother, what do you want to do deliciously, can you pass the assessment of the food club?" ”
"I don't know." Qiao Yu spread his hands helplessly, "I just made some ancient Chinese food at home, let's have a little experience, my parents say it's great to eat!" So I came with the mindset of giving it a try. ”
"Oh, that's right." Although Qiao Yu said it simply, there was a little confidence in his tone, so Dana's sense of anticipation did not weaken.
Dana watched Qiao Yu take some ingredients and seasonings from the warehouse, "Well, what are your main ingredients?" Bean curd? Dana said in surprise.
"That's right." Qiao Yu is sure to arrive. "What I'm going to make is not a big dish, it's just an ordinary home-cooked dish of ancient Chinese cuisine, mapo tofu."
"Mapo tofu?"
Dana and Qiao Yu walked into the stove area as they spoke, and the two of them only felt a rush of heat sweeping over their faces, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly entered the hot summer sun, and it seemed to have entered a palace of flames, and the scorching air currents poured out from all directions.
Qiao Yu found the stove with the corresponding number, took out the various tools that had been prepared from under the stove, and put a large plate on the stove, which was filled with onions, garlic, sun-dried red pepper, peppercorns and other necessary materials. On the other side are large pieces of tofu that have just been taken out of the cold storage.
Qiao Yu turned around and said to Dana: "I'll start, senior sister is a little farther away." Then he turned around and began to process the ingredients.
The first is to cut the green onion into small pieces, pat the garlic into minced garlic, chop out some chopped ginger, and twist the cap of the tempeh sauce.
Then he turned on the stove and lit the fire.
The flames burst out, and Qiao Yu put some dried chili peppers and peppercorns into the pot, and a spicy and rich aroma gushed out. Dana's eyes choked with tears in the distance, and she could only barely stop walking a little farther to a better ventilated area.
Qiao Yu picked up the strainer, sifted out the two spices, and poured in the minced pork.
The spatula flew over, the rich aroma of meat came out, and Dana in the distance took a sharp breath, not only Dana, but also the chefs around Qiao Yu's stove were also affected.
"What kind of food is this? The taste is so domineering? ”
"What a rich aroma! Spicy and exciting! ”
Qiao Yu observed the state of the domestic minced pork, "This is the time!" Qiao Yu's right hand sprinkled some tempeh sauce, stir-fried it for a short time, and then added seasoned rice wine.
As if he had rehearsed many times, Qiao Yu smoothly put in the tofu, mixed it with the broth, and added soy sauce and a small amount of salt.
Such a quick and neat movement attracted the attention of the examiners who were waiting for the evaluation of the works.
"Well, mapo tofu, the foundation is very solid, and the last bit of the process is almost completed. Judging by the quality, this newcomer should be able to pass the assessment. ”
Suddenly, the examiner's eyes widened, what is this? Sugar? Do you have sugar in mapo tofu?
Qiao Yu added a little sugar, then thickened with too white powder, sprinkled with chili noodles, chopped green onions and minced garlic to complete the dish.
The examiner shook his head. It's a failed piece. The addition of sugar will ruin the pungent taste of the mapo tofu itself, making the taste of the dish no longer pure. He concluded.
Qiao Yu put the dishes into a white tray, and then walked up to the examiner, "Examiner, please try it." ”
Although the examiner had already judged Qiao Yu's failure in his heart, his duty still made him pick up the spoon and put a spoonful of tofu in his mouth.
"This! This is!? The examiner was shocked by the dishes in his mouth, how could this taste be so strong! He clearly added the seasoning of failure!
