Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

There is no doubt that as soon as they put the dragon scales from the ice dragon into their mouths, Wakaba Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko, who were tasting Chihaya Aine's cooking for the first time, finally understood why Chihaya Aine had rated the first dish 25 points.

While everyone was working on the ice dragon, Chihaya Aine had already started preparing the next dish, paella.

The spices used include saffron, red pepper powder, chicken powder and fish meal.

My eyes swept over saffron. This spice has a similar taste all over the world.

"Paprika..."

Chihaya Aine murmured.

This kind of paprika is not the chili powder in commonly used spices. Its full name is Spanish sweet paprika. It is made by peeling, drying and grinding red bell peppers into powder and adding chili powder. Therefore, it has only a very light spicy taste and the flavor is mild and lively.

The key lies in the preparation of red pepper powder and chili powder!

The proportions involved are the unique skill of each chef.

Just like the common five-spice powder in the kitchen, which uses spices such as amomum villosum, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and star anise, the amount of each spice added will affect the final taste of the five-spice powder.

When it comes to spices, the emphasis is on detail.

"Oh right, chicken meal and fish meal!"

Chihaya Aine's eyes were filled with solemnity.

Chicken powder and chicken essence are two things that cannot be confused.

Chicken powder is more often used to add flavor to dishes. It is healthier and more natural, and is used by chefs as an artificial flavoring.

The same goes for fish meal.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine searched around the kitchen, but still couldn't find the chicken powder and fish powder she wanted.

“I wonder what Miss Aine is looking for?”

The Metron alien kept a safe distance from Chihaya Aine according to social etiquette and asked.

"I need some chicken and fish powder for my next dish..."

Before Chihaya Aine could finish her words, the Metron disappeared from the kitchen in a flash of blue light, and returned to the kitchen in another flash of blue light.

When he appeared in the kitchen again, Metron had a well-sealed can of chicken powder and a can of fish meal in his hands.

"I wonder if this chicken powder and fish powder can be used? Does it meet your expectations, Miss Aine?"

Metron handed a can of chicken powder and a can of fish powder to Chihaya Aine.

"click"

After unscrewing a lid, Chihaya Aine's expression changed slightly.

As her physical fitness improved, her senses became stronger, and her sense of smell became sharper, Chihaya Aine was able to discover many things in cooking that she had previously overlooked.

Wave after wave of natural scents seemed to be brewing tides in the kitchen. Chihaya Aine pursed her lips and unscrewed the lid of another bottle of chicken powder. In an instant, the two scents collided in the kitchen, making Chihaya Aine feel as if she was in the vortex of an explosion, and goose bumps appeared on her skin.

"call--"

After closing all the lids, Chihaya Aine was able to catch her breath.

“I don’t know the quality of the seasoning powder, but it’s enough for me.”

Chihaya Aine patted her hot forehead and felt more confident about the next dish.

Now that everything is ready, Chihaya Aine will naturally start cooking.

Cook the broth first.

Add celery, green onions, onions, tomatoes, carrots and other vegetables to the clean water in the cooking pot. They don’t need to be delicate, just cut them into large pieces to help absorb the oil.

For this paella, Chihaya Aine decided to use chicken stock.

But the broth here is made from chicken bones instead of chicken meat, because chicken bones contain very little fat.

Next, heat the pan and fry the ingredients first.

Chihaya Aine took a frying pan from the side and placed it on the stove to heat it.

Scallops, shelled shrimp, diced monkfish, etc., fry them, and when the stock boils, scoop a few spoonfuls of stock into the pan.

Next, add short-grain rice like Calasparra Rice!

Using a transparent measuring cup, Chihaya Aine carefully measured the Calasparra Rice.

"Buzz..."

The moment the black rice came into contact with the frying pan, thick white smoke immediately filled the entire kitchen.

The key step in the stewing process is to add spices!

"Red pepper powder 10 grams, saffron 3 grams, rosemary 15 grams, laurel

2 leaves..."

Thinking silently, Chihaya Aine turned around and went to the kitchen counter at the back to get some Western vegetables that had been cut into small pieces. Artichokes are indispensable in this Spanish paella.

"Artichokes, 50 grams!"

Use high heat throughout the process and simmer for 20 minutes until it is almost done.

Click.

After turning off the stove valve, Chihaya Aine took a deep breath, turned her head to look at the oven, but decided not to use it.

There is a huge difference between an oven and a charcoal grill.

The advent of ovens has made barbecue easier, but in the eyes of skilled flame manipulators, ovens can never compare to real charcoal barbecue. The original, natural, and indescribable flavor of flames is something that ovens do not have.

After a little hesitation, Chihaya Aine made up her mind, took out a large piece of tinfoil, fiddled with it for a while, and finally made the tinfoil into a pocket shape and fixed it on a large plate.

Pour the semi-finished product in the pan into the tin foil and seal the bag with tape.

The charcoal stove in the Metron kitchen was kept at a high temperature. Chihaya Aine added some new charcoal, carried a bag of seafood rice, placed it on the wire mesh of the charcoal stove, and turned on the blower.

15 minute later.

Lift a bag of paella wrapped in tin foil and place it on a plate.

Chihaya Aine's mood right now was just like opening a treasure chest in an online game. She was full of anticipation, and her strengthened body was not afraid of the heat. She used both hands to nimbly untie the tape wrapped around the bag's opening.

Between a pull and a tug.

She had taken away the long piece of tape, and with a sizzling sound, the opening of the tinfoil bag immediately opened.

Chihaya Aine took two steps back silently. Although this level of temperature was not dangerous for her enhanced physical fitness, resisting everything was inconsistent with her image as a beautiful girl.

Volume 1: Chapter 180: Dance of Fire

heat!

The white mist that was rising up was actually the hot steam!

After a few seconds, the heat finally hit me in the face. The temperature in the kitchen rose instantly but was suppressed by the Metron people's mysterious technological constant temperature system.

It was only at this moment that Chihaya Aine smiled.

"It would be great if we could make dishes that glow like those in Chuka Bowl Ichiban."

While Chihaya Aine was thinking about something in her mind, her hands were also moving quickly. She spread the tin foil along the plate, and a plate of charcoal-grilled seafood rice was revealed before her eyes.

The red sauce has solidified and the rice is fragrant!

The bright colors of red and yellow were very impactful, and Chihaya Aine's pupils shrank slightly.

"Try it first."

Chihaya Aine was quite curious about the taste of the charcoal-grilled paella. She found a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of the red and yellow paella, and savored it carefully while it was still hot.

"good to eat."

Chihaya Aine nodded, expressing her satisfaction with her dish.

Reflected in her pupils was a plate of barbecued food that was constantly emitting mist.

Wisps of mist half-hidden the scene. The tinfoil bag contained dried rice that looked like cracked soil.

Black Calasparra Rice makes up the soil.

The red sauce is lava that shimmers with an eerie red light.

At this moment, Chihaya Aine shook the tinfoil bag, and the red and yellow rice tumbled, the process like lava eroding the earth. Beneath the yellow earth lay a lava abyss that could devour everything!

Gollum~

He swallowed his saliva, his appetite surged, and the Metronian narrowed his eyes slightly. This was an intuitive reaction of sensing something.

There was silence in the kitchen.

Chihaya Aine placed five bowls on the kitchen counter, took a rice spoon, and divided the freshly baked charcoal-grilled seafood rice into the five bowls, and then placed the elegant white porcelain spoon on the bowls.

"Please enjoy--"

With a smile on her pretty face, Chihaya Aine gestured to everyone in the kitchen to help themselves.

The atmosphere was a bit weird. No one wanted to speak. They passed the bowls of seafood rice around silently. Finally, starting with Chihaya Aine, Nagasaki Suyo, Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mutsu, and the Metron people on the periphery all got a bowl of charcoal-grilled seafood rice.

The Metron couldn't wait to bring the bowl close to his nose and take a deep breath of the rich aroma.

"It smells good. It smells really good."

Metron shook his body and felt all the bones in his body go soft. A hint of surprise flashed in his big round, glowing eyes.

"Then let's get started!"

The people lined up in front of the kitchen counter, all put their palms together, then picked up their spoons and took small bites of the piping hot charcoal-grilled paella.

Swish.

Sweat immediately broke out on my forehead.

Shoko Toyokawa felt as if she had eaten a delicious bomb in her mouth. Her cheeks were twitching, but she clenched her teeth tightly and refused to spit out the food in her mouth.

While chewing, Shoko Toyokawa raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"All right!"

"Ready," said the Metron inwardly, trembling, and he finally used his teeth to chew the charcoal-grilled paella in his mouth seriously!

At this moment, it seemed as if a pair of hands were hitting the piano keys heavily. With the sound of clear and powerful melody, Shoko Toyokawa was lost in the instrument she was most familiar with.

"Doremifasolasido..."

On the LiveHouse stage in the fantasy world.

Toyokawa Shoko turned around and found herself sitting on a chair, in front of her was a piano that she had not seen for a long time since she left home.

Shoko Toyokawa subconsciously pressed the piano keys with her hand.

The clear and long drum sound immediately echoed throughout the LiveHouse.

It was like the opening symphony, with thunderous cheers coming from the audience and the entire venue shaking.

"what's the situation……"

There was a hint of horror in her eyes. Even though Toyokawa Shoko was used to playing in front of everyone, she couldn't help but panic at this moment.

what.

Several people suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

Ruoye Mu was holding a guitar in his hand, and the pick on his fingers lightly swept across the strings. In front of him was a magical music score that was automatically suspended with a pair of snow-white wings.

The Metron was looking at the drumstick in his hand in amazement.

Nagasaki Suyo was wearing a white formal dress, like a noble moon elf, standing quietly in the corner of the stage with her bass.

"Den!"

Under the stage lights, in the center of the stage that attracted everyone's attention, stood a beautiful pink-haired girl in a performance costume holding a guitar. There was no doubt that she was the lead guitarist of this performance. She had her back to the audience, a faint smile on her face, and glanced at the band members such as Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mutsu, and Nagasaki Motoyo.

"let's start!"

Then, the fingertips picked the strings.

The high-pitched and passionate melody at the beginning makes Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mutsu, Nagasaki Suyo and Metron feel
