Rebirth as the God of Cooking in Japan

Branch kitchen.

After standing for a full hour, Xia Yu suddenly woke up, and then, without a word, cleaned the kitchen counter.

"It's eleven o'clock in the evening..."

Ryoko Lina looked at Xia Yu who was busy, then looked back at the wall clock in the kitchen.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, the short hour hand happened to be set on the "11" number, and the longer minute hand just passed the "12" and was moving towards the "1" number.

It happened to be eleven o'clock at night.

There is one last hour left before the review ends.

It can be said that it was quiet at night outside, and the kitchen hadn't received an order for a while, so Xia Yu had leisure to stand for that long.

Da da da.

Disordered footsteps.

Looking back, Ryoko Rina caught a glimpse of Mas who came in, raised her eyebrows, and was about to scold her. Unexpectedly, Erina, Masato Kamahara and a noble woman in a lady's suit entered the kitchen together.

"Governor Tamagawa!"

Seeing that it was the mayor of Tokyo, Ryoko Rina's complexion relaxed, and she saluted slightly.

Hmm, Yuriko Tamagawa apparently knew Ryoko Rina, and said with a smile: "I heard Minister Kamahara say that you have been stationed in this neighborhood recently, and is that young chef who needs special care?"

As the female governor said, she cast a curious look at the concentrated male high school student who paused in front of the kitchen counter and looked carefully.

Young indeed!

However, there is a calm temperament that people of the same age don't have.

The gestures are full of chef demeanor.

Even if a diner comes to visit, he will definitely determine Xia Yu's identity as the chef at a glance.This is a very strange intuitive response.Or called "potential" and "spirit".And this kitchen is undoubtedly Xia Yu's main battlefield, the main site, he is the master!

"Oh, so young!" Yuriko Tamagawa smiled softly, "It turns out that he made the shiny dishes today, which is really incredible."

Clean the kitchen counter carefully.

Xia Yu cleaned all the extras on the kitchen counter, and then spread a layer of dry powder on the kitchen counter.

"Wow"

Cleanly and neatly, he raised the small bag of flour he had brought back from the store. With a shake of his hand, the whole bag of flour was poured on the kitchen counter, piled up into small hills tens of centimeters high, and he turned around and took the salt spoon and went to the flour Some salt grains were sprinkled in the pile, which seemed very random, but Xia Yu was precisely controlling the amount of salt and firmly controlling any details.

what.

Isshiki Hui and Kobayashi Gentiana also entered the kitchen. Standing behind Nagiri Erina, the three interns saw Xia Yu from under the kitchen counter and took out a black stick that was about three feet long and looked like a walking stick. , Eyes straightened for a while.

"So, what is that?" Erina's eyes were erratic.

"It seems like a rolling pin, right?"

Gentian Kobayashi nodded his lower lip and said uncertainly.

"Just look at it." Isshiki Hui had a wry smile.His gaze was fixed on Xia Yu, and he couldn't stop complaining about how many secrets this guy had hidden in him!

"stick!"

A refreshing voice came from behind everyone.

Dojima Gin, Akiyama Hiroshi, and Nagiri Senzaemon, the three distinguished guests sitting in private room 2 also came together.

Hiroshi Akiyama picked up Dojima Gin's words, and smiled: "This kind of stick is the cooking tool of the white case chef, just like the red case chef's kitchen knife. I don't need to talk about the importance of it."

"White case, red case?"

Isshiki Hui, Kobayashi Gentiana, and Nakiri Erina looked at each other, obviously not knowing the meaning of these Chinese terms.This is something that Yuanyue Modern Professional Course does not have.

"Bai An is the so-called pastry chef."

"Red Case, that is, a chef holding a knife, outside the pastry field."

Hiroshi Akiyama explained to the three students in the crowd that he was personable and quite like a professor at a university.

"This is a saying that originated from the Chinese mainland. Before modern times, Bai An and Hong An chefs were two areas that did not handover each other. For example, the palace cuisine that has been lost in the mysterious continent, at the banquet of palace cuisine. The white case and the red case each perform their duties, and there must not be a hint of confusion."

Akiyama Hiroshi slowly said:

"However, after modern times, the boundary between the white case and the red case is not as obvious as in ancient times. The red case chefs have also begun to learn pastry skills, explore more fields, and have more comprehensive cooking skills..."

Speaking of this, Hiroshi Akiyama suddenly stopped, his eyes condensed.

The three interns digested their knowledge silently, and then were surprised. Who is this guy?

The kitchen was quiet. At this time, no one spoke, and a pair of eyes gathered on Xia Yu, and Xia Yu, who was immersed in the cooking world, simply ignored the unrelated personnel.

Snapped!

The shadow flashes!

The black sticks have been cut through the hills formed by the accumulation of all-gluten flour and flattened the tips of the hills!

Do it with a stick!

The flattened mountain tip suddenly sank, and Xia Yu held up the basin next to him with his left hand. The water flow gathered in the flour pile, forming a volcanic lake-like scenery.

"cold water!"

Seeing this, Xiaolin Long screamed in exclamation.

Yes, cold water.

This detail illustrates many problems.

To make noodles, this process requires three types of water: cold water, warm water, and hot water.

It was Hiroshi Akiyama who broke the silence and explained: "Hot water dough, also called boiling water noodles, hot noodles. The water temperature is generally 60-100 degrees Celsius. In this kind of dough, the protein is solidified, the gluten is destroyed, and the starch is also decomposed. Sugar and disaccharides, although flat dough has poor color, it has the characteristics of smooth taste and rich sweetness."

"Hot water dough is suitable for making buns, steamed dumplings, siu mai and pot stickers." Erina said softly.

The governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Tamagawa, who had been silent for a while, said with a smile: "If the water is warm, the water temperature is about 50 degrees, and it is usually used to make various steamed cakes. For example, Taiyaki is made with warm water dough. If it tastes soft, It’s tough and delicious!"

Isshiki Hui and Erina cast a horrified look at the governor of Tokyo, but they did not expect that the governor would also know how to cook.

"The end is the cold water dough."

Dojima Gin raised three fingers and said in a deep voice:

"Cold-water dough has three characteristics: strong toughness, strong tension and rigidity!"

As he said, the few big guys present nodded silently.

"surface!"

"It can only be pasta!"

"Ramen?"

Whispering, each has its own guess.

"Look at—"

Kobayashi Gentiana suddenly covered his mouth, as if seeing an unbelievable scene, the golden pupils were full of surprise.

Snapped!

At least half of the black stick was inserted into the milky white mountain!

Seeing this scene, Hiroshi Akiyama and Senzaemon Nagiri looked at each other subconsciously, and said, "Make noodles with a stick!"

That's right!

When others were surprised, Xia Yu was holding a black pastry stick, spinning around the "volcanic lake" above the mountain tip, and the clear water gradually mixed with the flour following the rotation of the stick.

Xia Yu opened her lips imperceptibly, muttering to herself in her own audible voice:

"The dough is not kneaded by brute force..."

"The rotation of the fingers!"

"The rotation of the wrist!"

"The rotation of the arm!"

In Xia Yu's mumbling, the black pastry stick, the speed of making circles in circles, became faster and faster, and in the end there were only black afterimages!

Huh, huh.

There seemed to be a whirlwind in the kitchen.

The airflow suddenly changed, including Tokyo Governor Yuriko Tamagawa, who was not a chef with keen senses, immediately noticed this vision.

"He, what is he doing?!"

The scene that subverted common sense caused Isshiki Hui, Kobayashi Gentiana, and Nakiri Erina to lose their voices and stared.

Big bosses like Dojima Gin, Akiyama Hiroshi, and Totsuki also had long-lasting surprises.

This……
