Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 221 Learning to Cook, Northern Xuanju is Serious
After Oguruma made the suggestion, Xiaowan quickly nodded, and the two horse girls who were arguing stopped arguing and looked at Yasui Makoto.

"We can do it, and I heard about Mr. Yasui when I was watching the chrysanthemum viewing this year."

The silver-haired little horse girl was the first to grin, revealing a small canine tooth and said:
"He was able to coach a G1 horse girl right after his debut. Honestly, I really admire him."

"That's not true. Our academy hasn't produced such a talent in such a long time."

Another petite horse girl echoed, "Although the resources in Dajing are indeed inferior to those here, there haven't been any trainers with similar talents.

"That's impressive, Mr. Yasui."

Hearing this, An Jingzhen couldn't help but feel excited.

The two horse girls who just praised themselves were Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi, and the other one was Super Little Bay.

Although Super Little Bay didn't say anything, judging from the approving look in his eyes, he must have agreed with what his two friends said.

The strength and achievements of these horse racing girls are unquestionable, and their vision is naturally not low.

Especially Inari.

She was born in Oi Teresin Academy. Although this academy is of a local level, it is located in Tokyo after all, and its resources are much better than other local academies.

After retiring and continuing his studies, Inari Ichi worked at Oi Academy, and he must have seen quite a few trainers in the past and on a daily basis.

The fact that she can still give such an evaluation as "very impressive" after such a comparison really proves that she is very confident in herself.

So without much hesitation, Yasui Makoto quickly stood up and joined the game in place of Oguruma.

Makoto Yasui is no stranger to Japanese mahjong.

When he was back home, my father loved to play mahjong with a few friends after training and competitions. He still does this now, so he is quite familiar with the rules and techniques.

I was watching from the side just now, and it seems that even though Xiao Haiwan just managed to make a big card like Four Concealed Knights, his card skills should be considered average, and the big victory in the last round should be attributed to luck.

Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi are similar, both can play at this level.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the atmosphere being too awkward when playing cards due to the huge difference in card skills.

"Very good! Brother Yasui is really straightforward!"

Seeing that Yasui Shin sat down, Tamamo Cross changed his address in a very familiar manner.

She rolled up her sleeves excitedly and looked at the card table as if she was ready to have a big fight.

"Then let's have a good fight! Start over!"

He also looked at the card table and was about to reach out to sort the cards when Inari glanced over and said jokingly:

"You absolutely don't want to admit your guilt from the last round..."

"Well, if you see through it, don't say it out loud. Besides, Xiao Wan didn't say anything." Tamamo Cross said indifferently as he started to sort the cards.

"It's just for fun anyway, there's really no need to take it so seriously."

He nodded with a smile on his face and looked at An Jingzhen.

"So Mr. Yasui, just play around and we can chat casually."

……

Just as Yasui Zhen started the card game, in the kitchen on the other side.

Standing in the spacious and bright kitchen, Beibu Xuanju, wearing a clean and tidy apron, was concentrating on arranging the ingredients.

Her fingers nimbly moved among various fresh vegetables and meats, carefully picking off the yellow leaves of the vegetables and removing excess fascia from the meat.

He looked focused, as if he was dealing with a very important event.

At this time, wearing a chef's hat and apron, he came to the kitchen and saw Kita no Xuanju concentrating, so Ogurimao did not make a sound to disturb him.

She walked lightly to the side, her eyes quickly scanning the scattered ingredients arranged on the chopping board. Satisfaction flickered in her eyes, and she nodded slightly. Turning around, she was about to take the chopped carrots when she saw Xiaolimao. Beibu Xuanju said in surprise:
"Ah? Senior? When did you come here?"

"Just came over. Very well done, Xiaobei."

He smiled and nodded in praise, then glanced in the direction of the northern Xuanju's hand and said softly:

"Next...it's my turn."

"Yeah! Then I'll leave it to you, Senior!"

He nodded vigorously and stood aside obediently. Beibu Xuanju looked at Xiaolimao's movements curiously.

He took a washed carrot and placed it on the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife from the kitchen rack with his other hand, smiled at Kita no Xuanju, and then looked back at the carrot on the chopping board intently.

"I should have told you that if you're going to make soup, it's best to cut the carrots into evenly diced or small pieces.

“When stewing, the soup can penetrate better and the carrots will not rot.

"How big are the pieces...

“Some chefs like to measure, but I go by feel.

"So you watch it first."

As she said this, she skillfully spun the kitchen knife in her hand and began to demonstrate.

For a moment, the kitchen knife seemed to be given life, flying up and down on the chopping board, making a rhythmic "da da" sound.

In just a dozen seconds, the original whole carrot was cut into small pieces of uniform size, as if they had come from a mold.

After cutting a carrot, Xiao Limao did not rush to cut another one. He put the kitchen knife back, took a few steps back, and looked at Beibu Xuanju with a smile.

"Come on, give it a try."

When Oguri Hat was demonstrating just now, Kita no Xuanju stared intently, nodding slightly from time to time, looking as serious as he was in class and training.

Hearing the instructions, she nodded confidently, walked to the chopping board, recalled the appearance of Little Chestnut, picked up the kitchen knife, and began to cut the carrots carefully.

Watching from the sidelines, Little Chestnut nodded secretly.

Although I haven't had much contact with Northern Xuanju, I have only watched some of this junior's games and don't know how he performs in his studies and training at school.

During this period of time, as she interacted with the cooking professor, she felt more and more that, regardless of his running talent, this junior possessed an extremely rare steadiness.

She herself didn't really learn cooking, she just cooked like that because she felt like it.

It was a pleasant surprise that many people praised the food as delicious, or it could be said that cooking was a talent that she had not realized before.

However, she had met chefs from her own restaurant and other places, and knew that for most people, learning to cook was a very boring thing.

Take my own restaurant for example. Unless a new chef is very famous, he can only help in the kitchen at first.

That means picking vegetables, cutting meat, wiping tables, washing dishes, and doing all kinds of odd jobs.

Many people quit at this stage, no matter how good their previous experiences were.

This is the case for people who cook professionally, and it is even more difficult for those who do it for the sake of hobby to stick to it.

At first, she also thought that Northern Xuanju was just in a whim and wanted to try cooking "for fun".

However, I didn't expect that this junior's cooking skills were no less impressive than the horse girls' training in the academy.

This made Xiaolimao very impressed, and he also vaguely understood why Northern Black Horse could achieve such outstanding results in the competition.

A down-to-earth horse racing girl may not necessarily be outstanding, but an outstanding horse racing girl must have undergone down-to-earth training.
