Chapter 11: The Old Man's Cookbook

A must-kill dish!

Xia Yu was stunned and said with a funny look: "Are you belittle me or praise me?"

He was already prepared for Erina Nakiri's poisonous tongue, so he didn't think anything was wrong. Instead, he cared about something about the other party.

For example, a must-have dish.

This is a trump card dish that only one can have close to the level of the ten masters, and is usually displayed in major competitions or important food halberds.

"Magic Mapo Tofu" has the potential to become a must-have dish?

Before that, Xia Yu must have been full of suspicion.

However, seeing the "clad lapels of the general manager Yuanyue's clothes" and the praises revealed in the arrogant words of the god tongue, Xia Yu felt that when one day he cooked the luminous magical Mapo tofu, it also meant that he had mastered a must-have dish.

Secretly he pointed out the key points of cooking that Erina Nakiri pointed out to him, and remembered that he was meticulous and Natsuyu suddenly itched.

Just as Erina Nakiri said, he, a half-baked chef, is not even a chef, and he must have defects in basic skills in apprentices. I'm afraid this is also the reason why the dishes cannot be scored in the system.

Details, basic skills...

Xia Yu couldn't help but think, what method should he use to catch up with others after practicing basic skills for more than ten years?

Humph.

"Praise you?"

Nakirina looked at him with her arms in her arms, "Thank me, common people, do you know what the price you need to pay to treat me to try? My appearance fee starts from one million, and you need to make an appointment to queue..."

Xia Yu smiled, "Who are you and me? Talking money is hurting your relationship. At worst, I will invite you to the killer dish I cook next time."

"I know you?" Erina Nakiri looked contemptuous.

"Then please ask me to introduce myself grandly—" Xia Yu stood up and gave a very gentlemanly etiquette. "I am Xia Yu, a Chinese, brought neon ten years ago by my grandfather Xia Qing. My elementary school, junior high school, and high school after spring break are already or will be spending neon."

Erina Nakiri's mouth tugged, "I don't need to introduce myself like this to a commoner. You should have seen me in food magazines or some food TV shows."

Saying that's it, Erina Nakiri added in the end:

"I am the chief of junior high school department of Totsuki Academy, the tenth seat of the 'Ten Masters of Totsuki', Nakiri Erina. Remember my daimyo, common people."

"knew!"

Xia Yu got up to close the plates and came back from the kitchen, but saw the old man sending Nakiri Sawaemon and Erina out of the restaurant. He followed and the group stood at the door.

"Mr. Xia Qing, I hope you will return soon."

Nakiri Sesaemon looked at Naki Yu again, handed over the invitation letter for the admission to Yuyue that he had grabbed in his hand, and smiled and said, "Don't be too busy refusing, you can accept it first. There is still nearly a month before the start of the school of the Yuyue High School, and you have enough time to consider it. With your cooking skills, you should shine in Yuyue. With you, Yuyue's "Jade Era" will definitely be even more interesting."

Xia Yu shook his head, without hesitation at all.

"The world outside Yuanyue is very big. I don't want to be bound by school. On the contrary, running a small restaurant seems more interesting to me. I yearn for such a life. I'm sorry."

The second time he was rejected, Nakiri Sensaemon's face was gone, Yun Danfeng nodded gently and walked towards the luxury car.

"You will regret it, common people."

Nakirina bit her lower lip tightly, her face full of anger.

In her opinion, Yuanyue's admission invitation letter was repeatedly rejected, which was a great insult to herself. After all, Yuanyue Academy and Yuanyue's industries belong to the Nakiri family.

Before getting on the car, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but turn back, "With your poor cooking skills, this Chinese cuisine shop will definitely be defeated by you. Don't think that running a restaurant is easy, at least as a chef, you are not qualified!"

"I hope the next time I see you, the store will not go bankrupt and stay on the street..."

Bang.

Close the car door and the extended black luxury car slowly left the street.

Xia Yu withdrew her gaze, glanced at the expressionless old man beside her, and protested: "Hey, old man, can't you express something about the kid Erina Nakiri's grandson like this?"

"If you want to run this store, please meet my requirements."

The old man turned around and walked into the store.

Soon, night came, and Xia Yu was preparing to practice in the kitchen. He was full of energy. Unexpectedly, the old man stuffed a thick notebook directly over, "In seven days, learn everything on it. I booked a plane ticket in seven days. If you don't learn it thoroughly, you can go to Yuanyue when you start school."

Well?

At this time, a system prompt pops up:

"Get the task [Inheriting Chinese Cuisine Shop]."

"Task content: Meet inheritance conditions and gain recognition from grandpa Xia Qing."

“Reward: [Broken Jade Knife] (Purple Kitchenware).”

Another mission!

Xia Yu took a deep breath, and his eyes burst into endless fighting spirit, "Let me see if I can continue to run the Chinese cuisine shop!"

Throwing the spatula off, picking up the notebook, Xia Yu stroked the old cover with his palms.

The notebook has obviously been around for some years, but it has been preserved very well. After opening it, the content recorded on the paper with a pencil is very clear and has not faded.

"Cookbooks were detected, were they added?"

The system suddenly asked.

Xia Yu was stunned, "Add?"

"Yes. Copy the book content to the Chef God System, and the system will reorganize and arrange the content, remove unnecessary long-winded parts, leave the essence, and help the host improve learning efficiency."

"Then add it now!"

"Added successfully. Please name the book."

"Do you name it?" Xia Yu touched his chin and thought, "Just call the old man's masturbation manual, oh no, the old man's cooking manual."

Beep.

The system provides the identification information of the book:

【Old man’s cooking manual】

Rating: Excellent (blue)

Content: Basic skills include knife skills, heat, ingredient selection and some common basic cooking skills, including 11 green quality recipes such as "Kung Pao Chicken Dice", "Fish-flavored shredded pork", and "Couple Lung Tablets".

Estimated study time: 5 days.

"Can you learn it completely in 5 days?" Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and instead focused on a few ingredients that had been prepared on the kitchen counter.

Turn on the gas stove switch, ignite the fire, and then pour in the peppers and stir-fry the peppers.

Fry out the chili oil, filter out the peppers and chili, then pour in minced garlic and minced soybean meat and stir-fry.

This time Xia Yu is full of confidence.

When frying soybean minced meat, he specially took a timer to control the frying time accurately in milliseconds.

The first deficit pointed out by Erina Nakiri naturally no longer exists.

The second disadvantage is to add fermented black bean paste, bean paste, soy sauce, salt and sugar to fry out the red oil, and add the broth at this time.

The third disadvantage is to stir-fry the tofu after the pot.

To sum up the second and third points, simply put it is temperature control!

For Xia Yu, these two points are actually easy to achieve perfection with timer assistance and full concentration.

"System, please help me see if there is any content about thickening techniques in the old man's cooking manual..." Xia Yu was busy stir-frying tofu, and did not forget to ask the most critical point.

As the words fell, the notes turned into vivid learning images. A middle-aged chef with a blurred face, wearing a white chef's uniform, stood in front of the kitchen counter, repeatedly demonstrating to Xia Yu how to deal with "thickening".

‘Thickening’ is actually pouring the cooked powder into the pot, so that the marinade can be further absorbed on the near-ripe dishes, improving the taste and color of the dishes.

It can be said that whether the 'thickening' is properly affected by the quality of the dish.

This is also the reason why Erina Nakiri concluded that Naki is a novice chef.

Because 'thickening' is the most basic skill in cooking, after systematic cooking training, the step of handling 'thickening' will not be as immature as Xia Yu.

The image was played in my mind, and Xia Yu suddenly realized that his magical Mapo tofu still had such a terrible flaw.

And now, this big flaw is about to be filled. Can the luminous dishes appear?

Taking a light breath, he added sesame oil to the dish along the side of the pot. Xia Yu did not rush to put the plate on the plate. He turned on another gas stove and roasted the plate on high heat to heat it. Finally, he put the dish on the plate and sprinkled with green green chopped green onions.

The moment the cooking is finished, the kitchen is as bright as daytime.
