The time to wait for the beef roast to be completed was quite boring, so while waiting for the beef to be roasted and flavored, Li Xiang chatted with Tian Sohui.

In the small talk, Li Xiang and Tian Suohui gradually became familiar with each other. An hour passed quickly.

"By the way, Miss Taso, how about you finish the finishing steps?"

"What? No, no, Emiya-kun must do better than me if he comes to do it, and a bad student like me should not ......"

"I've basically done the seasoning steps, and the rest of the finishing work is only to add mushrooms and collect the juice and put it on the plate, I'm going to talk to Mr. Chapelle, and the rest of the work will be handed over to you!"

"Emiya-kun, wait ......"

Before Tian Sohui could say the words, Li Xiang had already run to the classroom podium and went to find the teacher.

Due to Li Xiang's fast hands, he saved time in many processing steps, so the progress of the two-person group is currently the fastest in the entire class. There are still nearly forty-five minutes left before the two-hour time limit runs out.

"Emiya-kun should be serious, it seems that the rest of the work can only be done by me alone."

Although Tian Suohui has a relatively soft temperament, he is never ambiguous at critical moments, and after confirming that Li Xiang is indeed going to hand over the finishing work of the dishes to himself, he immediately enters the work state.

"First of all, take the roasted beef and side dishes out of the saucepan and use a strainer to separate the soup from the solids."

In the process of chatting just now, Li Xiang had already explained the complete production process of the dishes in detail with Tian Suohui, who was silently recalling at this time, while operating step by step according to the plan given by Li Xiang.

Bring the strained soup to a boil over high heat to reduce the juice, and fry the sliced mushrooms in butter until golden brown.

Finally, the mushrooms and the soup that has evaporated and shrunk in the heated water are evenly poured over the surface of the beef and garnished.

Although Tian Zhihui's movements were obviously not as skilled as Li Xiang's, she finally completed the task successfully.

"Summer ...... Mr. Chappell, please use it. ”

In the gaze of the surrounding classmates and the encouraging gaze of Li Xiang, Tian Suo Hui was the first to present the completed "class assignment".

Without smiling, Chapelle gently stabbed the beef in the thorn plate with the fork in his hand.

Sensing the touch in his hand, Chapelle nodded imperceptibly.

As part of the criteria for the completeness of beef stew in Burgundy red wine, the meat of the beef must be tender and tasty. The plate of burgundy beef stew served by Megumi Tazako has a certain elasticity when touched with a fork rather than the toughness of raw beef, and it can be easily pierced with a little force, which is the evidence that the beef is up to standard.

Judging that the beef has reached the temperature that can be eaten, Chapelle skillfully cuts a small piece of beef with a knife and fork and puts it in his mouth to taste.

"Huh? The texture of this beef is ......."

After just one bite, Chapelle froze.

As a well-known French chef and head of the French cuisine department of the world's leading culinary school, Farmoon Academy, Roland Chapelle has tasted the burgundy goulash many times, many of which are the works of famous chefs. But never before have I tasted such a unique burgundy beef stew.

The beef is completely stewed, and it soaks up the soup like a sponge, and when you bite into it, the sweet juice gushes out of it.

The sponge-like absorption of beef comes from the processing of ingredients by Li Xiang's fire-based slashing knife that he replicated through projection magic.

The flowing blade is like fire, it is the sword of the captain of the Death Soul Realm Ichiban Team in the anime work "Death", Yamamoto Motoyanagisai Shigekoku, which has the strongest power among the fire and flame slashing knives, and can even steam out the water of the entire corpse soul world when completely liberated.

Of course, what Li Xiang simulated according to the concept in his mind was only an inferior copy of the original, and only retained the rudimentary ability of fire control.

By using the flame to create a large number of small holes in the ingredients that are not visible to the naked eye, the porous structure of the beef can absorb the soup and improve the taste to a certain extent.

This is also the way Li Xiang used the projection magic in cooking.

In the months since he came to this world, Li Xiang has been thinking about whether he can use the other abilities of the Heroic Spirit in cooking in addition to the "Housekeeping EX" that comes with Red A Heroic Spirit. Projected fire swords to improve the texture of food or heat it quickly, and projected ice swords to homogenize and cool ingredients, are all secret techniques that extend from the "temperature", an important element in food processing.

At this moment, in Professor Chapelle's mouth, the aroma of Burgundy wine, mixed with spices such as thyme, parsley, bay leaf, and black pepper, is perfectly blended with salt and fine beef shoulder.

In a trance, Chapelle seemed to see his grandfather's old wooden house in the French countryside in his hometown. On the old-fashioned stove, in a large cast-iron cauldron that has been burned black, grandma is stewing a pot of pure burgundy red wine beef stew, while when she was a child, she is salivating at the stove.

For a wanderer who has left his hometown, the taste of his hometown is always a lingering nostalgia.

"No, that Professor Roland Chappell, who never laughs, is actually ...... Laughed? ”

A heartfelt smile appeared on Professor Chappell's face.

Li Xiang's kitchen heart is the concept of "home and warmth" that he experienced with the skills of an actor entering the role after experiencing the turbulent refugee life. Burgundy red wine beef stew is Roland Chapelle's hometown dish, and the two are superimposed, giving play to the effect that one plus one is greater than two. Directly hit Chapelle's heart, and also made his expression lose control for a short time.

"Megumi Tado, Emiya Group. Rating: A class! ”

A moment later, Professor Chappelle, who had withdrawn the smile on his face, made his verdict.

"Great—"

After receiving the teacher's affirmation, Megumi Tado, who had been terrified since the beginning of this class, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For now, at least, she has escaped being dropped out at the start of the semester.

Megumi Tado, who came back to his senses, turned around and thanked his partner beside him:

"Emiya-san, thanks to you this time, I was able to avoid being expelled from school, thank you so much!"

Li Xiang waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, we are a group, and we should help each other." You don't have to take it to heart, and you helped me a lot today, and you didn't do me a lot of help, and you didn't do the finishing work on your own, didn't you? You should be more confident, in fact, your cooking skills are not bad at all, but your thinking has always limited yourself. ”

"Emiya-san, you're joking, I know best how good my level is. This time it's really thanks to you. ”

"When it comes to cooking, I believe in my eyes. I think you have a lot of potential, so don't hesitate because of the predicament in front of you...... Excuse me, I'll answer the phone. ”

Just as Li wanted to speak, his mobile phone rang, and since his class task had been completed, Li Xiang walked out of the cooking classroom and answered the phone after asking Chapel who was sitting behind the podium with his eyes and asking for permission.

"What? Miss Erina Nagikiri is missing? ”
