The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 56 Draw a big round cake

Chapter 56 Draw a big round pie

"Rob your dad?"

Erina Nakiri, who had come to her senses, looked into Xi's hostile eyes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"He is the master, not the father."

Xiaoxi snorted, looking unconvinced: "You didn't lie to Xixi?"

"Hey, I didn't lie to you!"

After saying this, Erina Nakiri sighed and said, "Children are really troublesome creatures."

Xia An knew how to divert his daughter's attention immediately, and he used food to seduce a foodie. He pushed the plate of dumplings onto the counter and handed a pair of chopsticks to Xiao Xi, whose eyes sparkled.
"This is the tortellini that Dad made. Eat it quickly, or the sisters and uncles will snatch it all up soon!"

He didn't mean to scare his daughter.

At this moment, Midori, Alice and Saiba Joichiro's hungry eyes were once again cast towards the plate of freshly-cooked dumplings.

Sure enough, Xiaoxi held the chopsticks and immediately stopped making any noise or noise. She started to pick up a tortellini, pouting and blowing on it very cutely and seriously.

Seeing this, Xia An smiled at Erina Nakiri:
"You've eaten it, what do you think? What's your comment?"

Nakiri Erina said with a trembling voice:

"When it comes to heat, seasoning, and pastry making skills, I'm not as good as you!"

"It's obviously the same dish, the process, the ingredients, nothing has changed, but the Shrimp and Cheese Ravioli you made tastes like I can never make it!"

"I would like to call this taste... "the taste of father"!"

Now Erina Nakiri has really lowered her proud head.

At least in front of her master Xia An, she no longer had to pretend to be proud.

After all, this teacher's method of marking homework was too cruel.

Just make the same dish.

All her excuses and escape routes were blocked, and she couldn't find any lines even if she tried to be tough.

Xia An is very satisfied with Erina Nakiri's current attitude.

The big stick is done.

It's time to give him some candy.

By the way, draw a big round pie!
He softened his tone and said in a very amiable manner, "Your seasoning, heat control, and basic pastry-making skills are all at a moderate level, which means that you have a three-star cooking skill level. This is indeed one of the top talents in Totsuki Academy."

"but--"

"But what?!" the blonde girl asked in a serious tone, her eyes beginning to reveal the admiration of being conquered, as she stared at him intently.

Xia An said with a sigh, "You are a genius in Totsuki now, but once you leave school and look at the neon food industry, or the world as a whole, you will find that you may no longer be at the top."

"Didn't you taste the 'flavor of my father' in my tortellini? Remember this flavor. It is the soul seasoning that must be comprehended and condensed on the road to becoming a special grade dish. Of course, it is also called the heart of the chef. You should have heard your father, mother, and grandfather talk about it."

Nakiri Erina said with admiration: "Yes, this is the method of a top-class chef."

A playful smile appeared on Xia An's lips, and he secretly said, "Come on, pie."

"So do you want to learn?"

"what?"

"If you want to learn how to find and condense the special "soul seasoning", I might be able to give you some pointers."

Hearing this, Erina Nakiri held her breath and carefully observed Xia An's expression:
"But my grandfather and mother both said that there is no rule to follow when it comes to the heart of a chef. The experience of every top chef in understanding the heart of a chef is unique and cannot be replicated!"

Xia An shook his head, stared at the girl's unbelievable eyes, and said slowly:

"Then do you think that [Glow] can be considered the heart of the cook, a soul condiment, or a very special mark of food?"

Erina Nakiri's eyes widened immediately and said, "Yes! It's even higher level!"

"My grandfather has marveled more than once that [luminescence] is the seasoning of the soul, the secret of food, and the source and other shore that all dishes will eventually reach!"

"It is a mark of the source level..."

"Can you really guide me to explore [Glow]?!"

Xia An smiled slightly: "It depends on your performance and learning ability in the future. I can't guarantee that you will be able to master it."

"that's enough!!"

Erina Nakiri was so excited that her pretty face flushed and she bowed deeply. If Xia An hadn't stepped forward to support her, the girl would have even wanted to do the classic Japanese etiquette of kneeling on the ground.

Xia An quietly absorbed the information revealed by the girl's words. It turned out that in the eyes of the big boss Nakiri Senzaemon, [Glow] was a secret that pointed directly to the end of the culinary road, and its status was very high!

This is consistent with Xia An's private understanding of the [Luminous] talent.

In contrast.

The [Drugging] talent from the anime Shokugeki no Soma seems to be much weaker.

In the "Italian Shrimp and Cheese Ravioli" just now, Xia An tried to give the dish the blue [Drugging] talent.

As a result, the effect was not obvious.

Was it suppressed, absorbed and integrated by the white heart of the nanny chef?
So, the dad chef’s heart becomes more aggressive?
Xia An also took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a tortellini from the plate and chewed it, confirming this:
"It seems that [Drugging] is a more auxiliary talent. Of course, it is also possible that the blue drugging talent is relatively weak."

"What would it look like if it was the drugged mark of the Neon Food Demon King?"

……

The breakfast time of the new day passed in a flash as the master and his disciple fought over food.

Finished eating the second dumpling dish made by Xia An.

Alice pulled Midori closer and whispered to her about their tasting experience.

Xiaoxi ran to the kitchen to help Erina Nakiri wash the dishes. With her small body, she had to raise herself on a stool and could barely reach the sink.

Xia An sent "Shura" Saiba Chengyilang to the door.

"Goodbye, Mr. Tsaibo."

Saiba Joichiro turned his back to him, waved casually, and got into an online-hailing car.

In the car, watching Xia An and the village yard shrinking, the face of the weathered middle-aged man, Ichiro Shiba, was filled with solemnity. He took out his cell phone and made a call:
"Hey, Commander-in-Chief, my mission has been completed. I sent the sisters Alice and Erina to Boss Xia."

The old man's deep and powerful voice said with relief: "Excuse me, Shiroichiro, are they having trouble communicating?"

“In reality, there is no language barrier.”

"And speaking of which, I'm really glad that I took this job. I was able to eat the 'Flame Dumplings' from Boss Xia, which have no sales channels outside!"

On the other end, Nakiri Senzaemon's voice was full of surprise:

"'Flame Dumplings'?"

"This ancient dish is not as difficult to reproduce as Kaihua Guoba and Liebingxian Taishan. Many famous chefs today can make it with some verve, but it is difficult to push the degree of restoration to more than 80% or 90%."

"Could it be that what you ate was a 90%-reproduction of the Flame Dumplings?"

Saiba Chengyilang laughed heartily and said, "No, Commander, I'm not sure. You may not want to believe it, but Boss Xia kept saying that the "Flame Dumplings" he served to us were made for the first time, but the degree of completion was not low."

"Later, he demonstrated his exquisite pastry-making skills on the spot."

"If he had used this pastry-making skill to make "Flame Dumplings" from the beginning, I think the degree of restoration would have been very likely to reach over 80%. With more time, 90% would not be impossible."

I heard on the phone that "Shura" explained in detail the causes and consequences of the morning food battle between master and disciple.

half an hour.

After eating the melon, Nakiri Senzaemon sighed:

"I protected Erina too well before. She really should be exposed to the vast world outside of Neon."

……

the other side.

Last night, Xia An’s second short video of selling Kaihua Guoba at a stall also dominated the Douyin hot searches.

Lijiang City, the Seven Star Hotel where the Late Night Cooks Association is based.

Chi Xiaobai is the general director of Lingyue Province.

and the general director of Linggui Province named Wei Xuelin.

Two super masters.

His face was serious.
