Xia Yu didn't know that he had just locked himself in the kitchen. In addition to Sakamoto and Ryoko Lina, the shop welcomed another guest.

"A Yu——"

A slightly panting voice came in from the half-closed store door.

Sakamoto and Ryoko Lina were surprised to see a high school boy in uniform who was obviously just finished school. She held the threshold and seemed to be running all the way from Ueno Tram Station, with sweat hidden on her forehead.

"Hey, where is A Yu?"

This boy is An Yilun. Having said that, in the past ten days, he has certainly maintained close contact with his employer Xia Yu. Coincidentally, just last night, the homepage of the Xia store's website was set up, and An Yilun also came here in person this time just to convey the good news and seek credit, proving that he did not get his salary in vain.

I didn't see Xia Yu, but only saw two guests born in the face. An Yilun also wiped his sweat and started to walk towards the kitchen, but was stopped by a woman.

"You wait first." Ryoko Lina opened her sleeves and looked at the time displayed by the small and exquisite women's watch. "It will take at least an hour before he will come out of the kitchen. It is best not to disturb him during this period."

"Uh..." An Yilun could only find a seat to sit down.

"Do you want tea?"

Ryoko Lina treated this as her own shop. She skillfully walked into the bar and found the fried green tea leaves and a pot of hot water. She put her palm outside the kettle and tried the water temperature. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, "It's okay to make tea at this temperature."

"Then, I'll trouble you!" An Yilun also scratched his head.

Tea?

Upon hearing this, Sakamoto looked at his table. The plate of fried rice he had just eaten had not been taken away. The hot tea that Xia Yu had specially boiled water for him to brew in front still showed a scent of fragrance.

Sniffing the tea fragrance carefully, the stomach acid seemed to be aggravating the secretion. Sakamoto felt that he had missed the delicacies outside of fried rice, so he pushed the glasses frame, picked up the water cup and sipped a small sip. When the tea water flowed between the throat and intestines, he grabbed the water cup's hand and suddenly grabbed it tightly, and the veins bloomed. This is the manifestation of Sakamoto's inner agitation.

“Green tea of ​​this quality…”

In the eyes of others, Sakamoto is still the same Sakamoto, and his cool aura is still strong. However, at this moment, Sakamoto's heart is surging, and only he knows that after a sip of tea, his body is warm. He almost can't help but enjoy it comfortably and hums.

Ryoko Lina also made a cup of tea for An Yilun. Her tea making skills are not inferior to Xia Yu. After all, Ryoko Lina is a master of "Kaiseki cuisine". This kind of banquet is indispensable for hot tea and tea making rice. Tea ceremony can be said to be one of the essential skills.

"It's delicious-!" An Yilun also swept away the fatigue of rushing over from the private Toyonosaki Academy. His face showed a happy smile from the bottom of his heart, and even a flash of water was shining in the corners of his eyes.

An Yilun didn't know that he had received the reception from a female special chef. Not everyone could enjoy this cup of hot tea. He was undoubtedly a lucky person. At least he was more lucky than Sakamoto.

And in the kitchen, Xia Yu was concentrating on making a tofu dish.

The task [The initial use of fantasy ingredients] requires that the ingredients "Frost Descent Tofu" be incorporated into the recipe "Magic Mapo Tofu" to obtain an improved luminous recipe.

Magical Mapo tofu is the first luminous dish that Xia Yu mastered, and it is also the one he is confident that he can achieve perfect cooking skills beyond the limitations of the ingredients themselves.

‘Six flavors are one’.

Spicy, hot, fragrant, color, numbness and crispness are the essence of magical Mapo tofu.

At present, Xia Yu has grasped the secrets of "scalding", "color" and "spicy" in the modified recipe. The remaining "spicy", "scent" and "heat" are actually the use of spices such as mountain pepper, pepper, and pepper powder.

That's right!

The improvement of the recipe of "Magic Mapo Tofu" is closely related to his use of spices. Because of the changes in the main ingredients, Xia Yu is looking for the balanced spices contained in the cuisine.

I took the [Broken Jade Knife] out to cut the tofu, and it was like using a simple cross-cutting technique. The light of the knife flashed, and the "Frost Descent Tofu" that was still wet on the table was cut into equal blocks.

These days, Xia Yu's training in sword skills has never stopped for a moment.

Although the talent point level of [Big Cow Qinglong Slash] is currently fixed at the value of "1", Xia Yu's use of this dark skill has long exceeded the level value that floats on the surface.

Moreover, by using the same method, using a thick large kitchen knife to practice the dark skills to a certain extent. Xia Yu found that when he used other small kitchen knifes to process the ingredients, his grasp of strength was more refined. Simply put, micro-operation was even more terrifying. The basic skill of knife skills with a maximum level of 10 points is obviously not the upper limit of knife skills.

I have to say that the appearance of ‘Frost Descent Tofu’ is very beautiful, with the oil like frost and snow, distributed in the tofu.

Even without mentioning the appearance, the quality of "Frost Descent Tofu" itself is much stronger than that of ordinary tofu. It can be called a special quality. Although there are disadvantages of more oil, the tofu itself is rich in moisture and tender and refreshing. When used to cook, the blocky tofu can maintain its shape well, rather than being broken during stir-frying and steaming.

The key is oil. Xia Yu has initially solved the problem of tofu oil in recent times.

In fact, the oil contained in "Frost Descendant Tofu" is full of the strong fragrance of native plants and the aftertaste issue is also closely related to this strong fragrance.

So, Xia Yu’s method is not to remove the strong fragrance, which is unrealistic, but to completely integrate the strong fragrance into the cooking process. Doing so may make the improvement work very difficult, but once it is successful, the improved "magic Mapo Tofu" will not be the traditional "six flavors one" but become the "seven flavors one". The extra flavor is the original strong fragrance brought by the frost dropping tofu oil!

At present, Xia Yu has found a way to merge this strong fragrance.

spices!

Change your thinking and regard the aftertaste of Frost Desert Tofu itself as a spice. In this way, the original spice balance in the recipe of "Magic Mapo Tofu" is broken. What Xia Yu wants to try is to reconstruct a stable spice equation.

One hour later.

"It smells so good!"

When the kitchen door was pushed open, Sakamoto, Ahn Yilun and Ryoko Lina all looked over at each other.

Xia Yu felt sweat on his forehead and brought out a large plate of fresh and hot Mapo tofu, "Try it and see--"

He put the white plate on the table and found four pairs of chopsticks. Xia Yu took one of them himself, and distributed the other three pairs to Sakamoto, An Yilun and Ryoko Lina.

Ryoko Lina first took off her chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender and smooth tofu with red chili oil, gently opened her cherry lips, and put them in her mouth. After chewing for a while, she exhaled and said:

“It’s very close to glowing dishes!”
