Chapter 52 Get out of the way, I'm going to start pretending!
"Then, which one of you will start first?" Wenxu looked at Xia Tian and Yukihei Soma with amusement.
There was a strange tone in Wenxu's words, and even Yukihira Souma could hear it. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean?"
Wenxu chuckled, and then said: "Kid, let me tell you the truth, there are really not many ingredients left in this kitchen. Even making one dish is a bit difficult, not to mention that you are two people.
It’s simply impossible to cook two dishes.”
"So the best situation between the two of us is that we can only leave one, right!" Xia Tian said what Wen Xu wanted to express straightforwardly.
"That's right." Wenxu looked at Xia Tian in surprise.
"What, how could this happen?"
Yukihira Soma suddenly felt in a dilemma. It is hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice, and no matter how good a chef is, he will be useless without ingredients.
Wenxu looked at the two of them with interest, wanting to see who would voluntarily quit to achieve success for the other, or whether they would compete and quit at the same time.
"Xingping, you start picking out the ingredients first!"
At this moment Xia Tian suddenly said.
"!!!" Seeing that Xia Tian actually let Xing Ping Soma start the choice first, Wenxu was a little stunned, because according to her idea, Xia Xia let Xing Ping Soma start the choice first, which was obviously giving up, but she felt strange that she
I thought it was the red-haired kid (Soma Yukihira: ??へ??╬) who seemed a little silly and stubborn who would do this, but I didn’t expect that it was Xia Tian in the end.
"Xia Tian, you..." Xing Ping Soma also thought so, and suddenly looked at Xia Tian with eyes wide and moved.
"What's wrong with this guy again?" Xia Tian looked at Yukihira Soma and couldn't help but muttered.
"Xia Tian, I don't need your sacrifice. If there is really no other way, let's sleep outdoors together tonight!" Xingping Soma suddenly grabbed Xia Tian's shoulders and said resolutely.
Wenxu couldn't help but nodded after seeing it, as if his companions should advance and retreat together, he relaxed a little and said: "In that case, I can force you to..."
But before he finished speaking, he saw Xia Tian suddenly slapping away the hand Yukihira Soma put on him, and said with a look of disgust: "Hey Yukihira, what are you thinking about? Who wants to live in such a cold wilderness with you?
You let me come without even starting."
Yukihira Souzhen looked at Xia Tian in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "Xia Tian-kun, didn't you give up voluntarily just to let me stay in Ji Xing Room?"
"How is it possible, Yukihira, you are overthinking it!" Xia Tian looked at Yukihira Soma as if he wanted to eat shit, why didn't he know that he would be so kind and willing to give up.
"But, didn't you ask me to pick the remaining ingredients first? In this case, you won't be able to finish your cooking after I pick it up." Xingping Soma looked at Xia Tian in confusion.
"Oh, that's it!" Looking at the puzzled looks in Nao and Souma Yukihira's eyes, Xia Tian suddenly felt a little funny after understanding the reason. How naive to be issued a "good guy card" like this! But he
But he didn't intend to accept it. Xia Tian raised his head and said without any emotion in his eyes: "Xinghei-kun! If that's what you think, then I can only say sorry."
"What?"
"Haha! Xingping-kun, it's not for you that I asked you to choose the ingredients first." Xia Tian chuckled twice, with unparalleled confidence in his tone: "I asked you to choose first, that's because no matter what ingredients you have left, I
You can make it into a perfect dish, but you are worried that you have other ideas because of this, and you are obviously questioning my cooking skills."
"Ah, this..."
Facing Xia Tian's last somewhat pressing question, Xingping Soma suddenly didn't know how to answer.
In fact, Xia Tian let Soma Kohei choose first not only because of his confidence, but also because he was afraid that after he presented the dish first, Nao would no longer be able to eat Soma Kohei's food after tasting it. This is not a lie, but
The gap in strength between the two is too big now.
However, it was a bit hurtful to say this, so Xia Tian did not say it.
"Okay, you two, stop talking nonsense. No matter how loud you say it, in the end, let your cooking skills prove it!"
In the end, Wenxu suppressed the argument and began this craft trial.
It was Yukihira Souma who started first, and he quickly selected the ingredients, because there was really nothing to choose from. Apart from rice, bread flour, a small amount of vegetables and eggs, there were no other major meat ingredients such as pigs and cows.
On the cooking table, Soma Kohei held the buns and chopped the onions into fine pieces. Then he casually cracked two eggs, mixed them with the bread flour and kept stirring... Finally, Soma Kohei looked at the small soup pot he had brought with him.
Snacks, showing a proud smile.
Fumio couldn't help but nodded when he saw Yukihira Soma's skillful cooking movements, and he couldn't help but have a little expectation for Yukihira Soma's cooking.
When Soma Yukihira placed a piece of thick and juicy hamburger meat in front of Nao, Fumio couldn't help but asked in surprise: "There is not even a gram of pork and beef in the kitchen, how did you make this?"
?”
"Hehe." Xingping Soma smiled and pointed to the can box next to him and said, "Thanks to it!"
“Canned mackerel!!”
"Stir together the eggs, onions, bread crumbs and the dried mackerel meat that has been soaked in water, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then fry it in the pan until the tender and juicy mackerel burger meat is ready; in addition, add the
Mix the juice from the canned mackerel and citrus vinegar, and finally dissolve the potato starch in the water to thicken the sauce. A refreshing and easy-to-make sauce is ready. I named it 'Yukihira Instant Mackerel Hamburger Set'!
"
"There really is no novelty at all."
Hearing the name of Yukihira Souma's dish, Xia Tian couldn't help but complain.
"What are you talking about?" Wenxu was obviously confused by Yukihira Souma's new dish name, but he still picked up a piece of hamburger meat and slowly put it into his mouth:
"Canned mackerel, hamburger meat or something...it must be very fishy and hard to eat..."
But when Wenxu tasted the hamburger meat, his whole body felt like an electric shock, and his mouth watered.
"Very delicious!"
"With this texture, even if you tell me it's real meat, I won't doubt it. In addition, it's fried to just the right temperature, and this bowl of egg drop soup..."
Wenxu picked up the egg drop soup in the set meal and took a sip. He was instantly shocked by the fragrant taste of the soup.
"How did you make this? There should be no ingredients for soup stock like kelp or dried bonito here."
"I used this." Yukihira Soma pointed to the squid leg biting on his mouth.
“Squid feet!!”
As a dry food, squid legs can be said to be the crystallization of umami. Just soak them in hot water and season them with salt to get a refreshing soup, and then make a delicious thick soup.
"It's really not that simple!"
Wenxu tasted the plump mackerel burger meat and the delicious and rich egg drop soup, as if he had returned to the seaside late at night, where a pair of young people in their prime were shy but eager...
In reality, Yukihira Soma saw Xia Tian suddenly leaving Wen Xu's side and retreated to the kitchen door before stopping.
"Xia Tian, you...?"
Xing Pingchuang really wanted to ask what was going on, but suddenly someone hugged him. When he looked back, his whole body was so frightened that he immediately understood why Xia Tian left.
I saw Fumio closing her eyes, pouting her mouth, and shyly kissing Soma Kohei. Then Soma Kohei resisted desperately, put her hand against Nao's face, and shouted:
"Stay away from me, old woman..."
…
Finally, after a burst of busy work, Wenxu came to his senses, and it was time for Xia Tian to play.
"It's time for me to start showing off again!"
Xia Tian rolled up her sleeves and walked to the cooking table...
