Love comes after eating halberds

"After you've eaten your eel rice, come and try my pig's trotter rice. You won't be disappointed!"

Putting the steaming pig's knuckle rice on the table, Hoshino Sora said to Nakiri Erina with a smile on her face.

"Hmph, then let's try it despite the difficulty."

Looking at Hoshino Sora's very expectant eyes, Nakiri Erina rarely refused, but moved her nose. The cooled pig's trotters were not very fragrant, and their appearance was ordinary.

Pick up a piece of fat and white pork knuckle with chopsticks and put it into your mouth hesitantly. As the lips and teeth meet, a complex taste bursts out in your mouth.

Most people may only taste the aroma of marinade when eating Takae pig's trotter rice, but Erina Nakiri is different. As the owner of God's Tongue, she can even analyze the ingredients of the marinade through this piece of pig's trotters.

This also led to her being able to know the advantages and disadvantages of food very clearly. For example, the taste of the food in front of her made her frown.

“Too much aniseed made the aroma extremely strong. The marinating time was too long, and the heat control was not very good. Each pig’s trotters are obviously different in size, so the marinating time should also be different. The texture of this meat is too soft. Unappetizing."

A bit of disappointment appeared in her eyes, and she put down her chopsticks directly. Considering Hoshino Sora's previous performance, she had a little expectation, but now it seems that her expectations have been disappointed.

If it was only to this extent, how could he replicate her cooking?That kind of control over the taste of the ingredients is definitely something that only top chefs can achieve.

"Is that so? I just said it was almost something. That's it."

"I really don't know how you beat me yesterday. At that time, the seasoning ratio and heat control were so precise."

Snapping his fingers, Hoshino Sora didn't feel disappointed when he heard Nakiri Erina's comments. Instead, he felt full of motivation. Failure is the mother of success, and improvement is the result of mistakes.

After all, he is just an ordinary person who has become a monk on the way. Although he has the support of the system, his level is there after all. To use a common saying, it is difficult for him to reach the level of elegance.

But it doesn't matter. With the speed of his progress, three months is enough time to reach the average level of Yuanyue Academy. Among them, the control of heat and seasoning need to be focused on.

Speaking of spice control, one of the rewards in the main mission seems to be a cooking skill about spices, called the spice formula. It seems that if you want to get ahead in Totsuki, you must win the top three in this competition!

"I think it tastes pretty good. It's fat but not greasy and has a nice aftertaste. Is it really as bad as you said?"

After picking up a piece of pig's trotters, Yaxiang's expression was a bit puzzled. From what she tasted, this pig's trotters rice was extremely delicious, and it was a hot seller in the store and loved by many people.

"After all, it is still a dish made in a big pot. What mass production brings is industrialized and shoddy. It should be seasoned and marinated according to the size of each pig's feet, or the marinating process should be manually controlled, so as to ensure that it reaches the desired level. Best taste!”

Nakiri Erina rarely mentioned suggestions. Perhaps Hoshino Sora looked so heroic when she saved her, which caused a slight change in her mentality, but obviously, she did not notice this.

Chapter 20 Brother and sister dating

After lunch, because there was no work, Nakiri Erina left with Hisako. In order to facilitate contact, several people exchanged contact information.

At this time, Hoshino Sora was standing in the kitchen, looking at the pots and pans in front of him and lost in thought. He was thinking, what should he do next?

It is obvious that Daguofan can no longer improve his cooking skills. Should the restaurant undergo transformation?From the set meal format to a la carte stir-fry, it is best to open the reservation function.

But this will lose a group of customers who can only eat at specific times. Although he doesn't care about money, he always feels that he is sorry for them.

Then temporarily retain the form of set meals, and at the same time introduce some dishes that take a short time to prepare, and gradually realize the transformation, which can also improve the acceptance of guests.

Logically speaking, the time from ordering to serving is best not to exceed 15 minutes, but this is difficult to achieve during peak customer flow periods. However, for delicious food, I believe many people are willing to wait.

However, if he is alone, it will be somewhat difficult to serve food within 15 minutes. After all, he is not serving one person, but a person from the store.

This must be assisted by Fei Shao, who can help cut vegetables and prepare ingredients, so that his attention can really be focused on the pot and he can accurately control the heat.

Nowadays, he cannot multi-task, handling the ingredients for the next dish and cooking the previous one at the same time. He must always pay attention to the changes in the food so that he can cook it at the moment it reaches perfection and complete the practice of controlling the heat. .

When you become proficient in it later, you can consider advancing. The important thing now is to take it one step at a time.

With a decision made in his heart, Hoshino Sora's expression became a little more relaxed. He cleaned the kitchen a little, then took his handbag and prepared to go out. However, as soon as he walked to the door, two footsteps came from his ears.

"Want to go out?"

"Take us with you, we can help you carry your things."

One on the left and one on the right surrounded Hoshino Sora. Akari took his arm and shook it vigorously. His eyes were pitiful, as if they would cry if the other party didn't take them with him.

"Ah this..."

"I finally had a day off and wanted to go shopping with my brother."

"Just say it, otherwise I won't be motivated to do the next work."

"Okay, let's go shopping then."

Thinking of the two sisters' efforts recently, Hoshino Sora decided to take them to the mall to relax and buy them some nice clothes and favorite things as compensation.

After all, Sister Yaxiang and Sister Lixiang are a bit too frugal. They don't even use the money given to them. It is obvious that money is just a piece of waste paper if it is not used.

"Great!"

"Then let's set off quickly, Xiao Kong~"

"Change your shoes first."

After a while of fighting, Hoshino Sora set off with Akarika. Because there were people around, he specifically asked the two of them not to hold his arms outside.

Although there was a lot of resentment, Akira Rika still accepted his suggestion, mainly because if he didn't accept the other party, he would not go with them, which was absolutely unacceptable to them.

"Boss, come and skewer the candied haws."

Walking on the newly built commercial street, the flow of people here is obviously several times greater than that of Sanhe Street. There are densely packed people everywhere, and these people have given birth to a street stall economy.

Among them, most of them focus on food. A variety of snacks can fill the stomachs of tourists, such as takoyaki, oden, four-year-old meatballs...all kinds of snacks are available here.

Among them, there are not only neon local snacks, but also many foreign snacks, such as Shaqima, candied haws, marshmallows, water chestnut cakes, etc. Those who look at it are dazzled, and in the end they can only say with emotion, "It really deserves to be Tokyo"!

Because he saw Aka Rika staring at the candied haws for a long time, Hoshino Sora stepped forward to buy it on his own initiative, and what he got was naturally the happy smiles of the two of them.

"Well, this is sour and sweet. It's delicious. Xiao Kong, you should take a bite too."

He raised his hand to cover his bulging cheeks and stirred his cheeks slightly. The sweet and sour taste immediately filled his mouth, bringing incomparable happiness.

Seeing this, Hoshino Sora didn't shy away. He followed the candied haws that reached his mouth and bit it. The sound of 'Kazi' rang in his ears. It was caramel on the outside and slightly sour hawthorn on the inside. The two were combined. It’s the sweet and sour candied haws.

Moreover, the person selling candied haws on ice also thoughtfully removed the core of the hawthorn and stuffed an almond into it, making the whole bunch of candied haws have a richer and more layered texture.

[Analysis of cuisine]: Candied Haw Lu

[Quality]: black iron

[Analysis 40%]: The cooking ingredients include hawthorn, almonds, sugar...

After this period of research, Hoshino Sora understood that the function of analyzing food would start to be analyzed after eating a certain amount of food. After that, he would need to continue eating to complete the analysis.

The higher the quality of the food, the more portions you need to consume, and watching the video after the analysis is completed is not actually watching the video in the literal sense.

It is an immersive experience that allows you to enter the body of the maker, watch and feel how he makes the food step by step. This process can be repeated endlessly.

If you have money, you can go to major restaurants to learn from their masters, and you can take away all their signature dishes without anyone noticing, but it will be a bit of a loss.

After shopping in the commercial street for a while, Hoshino Sora took the two sisters into the largest shopping mall in the area, then went straight to the second floor and entered a well-known local women's clothing store. This was his destination this time.

"Let's go, clothes here are so expensive."

Yaxiang was still in high spirits at first, but the moment she entered the store and saw the price of the clothes, she immediately wilted, and then she whispered in Hoshino Sora's ear to leave.

"It's okay. I'll give you clothes at no cost to you. Although this store is a little more expensive, the clothes are of good quality and have many styles. They follow the latest trends and are very suitable for you."

There was a bit of nostalgia in his eyes. He and Yangno used to come to this store often. To be precise, this mall was the place where he and Yangno had the most dates.

On the eve of the breakup, he bought a knitted scarf and gave it to her. She was also complained about why he didn't knit it himself.Obviously other people's boyfriends will give hand-knitted scarves as gifts.

That winter was the last time the two met.

"This dress is so cool."

"Isn't it a little too bold? Although it's summer now, it's too revealing. Everything below the breasts is visible."

Looking at the confusing clothes that could only barely cover his chest, Hoshino Sora had a subtle expression on his face. He was happy for others to wear them, but Rika-san would forget about it.

"How can such clothes be worn out?"

"You can wear it just for Xiao Kong at home, and it's also very cool. Don't you kill two birds with one stone?"

"Then you can't wear such obscene clothes!"

"How obscene is this? Yaxiang, you are too conservative."

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Seeing the two sisters quarreling, Hoshino Sora burst into laughter. The relationship between the two was so good. As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to the summer special area next to him, where there were all matching sets.

Chapter 21 Isn’t working hard to make money just for the fun of spending it?

"How about this one?"

A black vest long skirt, a knitted short-sleeved dress, and silver shoes look very fashionable.

"What about mine?"

Wearing a white T-shirt and black wide-leg pants, paired with canvas shoes, and wearing sunglasses on her face, when she stood there with her hands on her hips, her whole look became that of a cool girl.

"And this..."

The chiffon shirt is paired with a lace skirt and high heels. This combination makes the person in front of me look mature at a different age. The young face is obviously not easy to control.

"I like this set."

Needless to say, girls are endlessly changing their clothes. Looking at Akari Rika who has changed dozens of sets of clothes, Hoshino Sora is a little tired of aesthetics, but he still tries his best to maintain a smiling face and praise her.

"Enough is enough, just buy these sets."

After choosing a few sets of clothes that were very suitable for the two of them, Hoshino Sora hurriedly raised his hand to apologize. If he continued to choose like this, he would just sit here and pass away. It has been several hours since he came here in the afternoon.

He didn't say anything just because the two of them were in high spirits.

"All right..."

Hearing Hoshino Sora's call, Akari Rika realized that she had spent too much time, even though she still hadn't tried enough. Although she didn't go out, it should have been dark outside.

"Let's go buy ingredients for dinner next. My parents are probably coming back soon, so we have to make dinner quickly."

Taking out his phone and checking the time, Hoshino Sora told him his plan. Although it was late, this was a big shopping mall after all. There would definitely be no shortage of ingredients and the quality was quite high, but the price was not. So beautiful.

After buying clothes, the three of them wandered around the fresh food area.

Because he ate Nakiri Erina's eel rice in the afternoon, Hoshino Sora became interested in aquatic products, and in the entire aquatic products market, what attracted him most were shrimps and crabs.

Half on land and half in water, a total of ten dishes.

This was the thought in Hoshino Sora's mind. Looking at the lively shrimps, napping crabs, and nimbly swimming fish in the water tank, he quickly searched for suitable dishes in his mind.

For shrimps, I already have an idea. I’ll simply make garlic shrimps. For crabs, there’s not a lot of meat, so it just has a fresh flavor. Let’s put some batter on it and make a golden crab bucket.

"watch out!"

Just when Hoshino Sora was concentrating on selecting live shrimps, Rika suddenly put a hairy crab in front of his face, which really shocked him.

"Be careful, your nose will be pinched off. Stop playing around and pick the ingredients quickly. We don't have enough time."

"No, Mr. Hairy Crab's pliers are all tied up. How can he commit a crime without his tools?"

Frightened, Hoshino Sora complained angrily, and then heard Rika muttering to herself. She seemed to glance down at him, not knowing what she was thinking of.

After browsing the seafood area, I then visited the meat area, selected a few pieces of good mutton, got some pork belly, and bought some spices. Only when I could no longer carry it with both hands, Hoshino Sora left with satisfaction.

"Sister Yaxiang, Sister Lixiang, do you want to eat watermelon?"

Looking at the sliced ​​watermelon on the fruit stall in the shopping mall, Hoshino Sora tilted his head and looked at Akari Rika. At this time, the two sisters were whispering. When they heard his question, they were stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Watermelon? Okay, buy half of it."

"How can half be enough? These two are in good condition, that's all."

He patted the watermelon and put his ear close to it. Hearing the "bang bang" sound coming from inside, Hoshino Sora showed a satisfied expression. Then he heard Axiang's words and immediately felt disgusted.

"It's too expensive for so many..."

Yaxiang's expression was a little hesitant, because this mall specializes in high-quality products and the items sold are more expensive than outside. The two watermelons together cost [-] yen less.

"The situation is opening up, Sister Yaxiang. We make so much money every day. If we are still timid when it comes to spending it, then what is the purpose of making money?"

Hoshino Sora said matter-of-factly that he was not a second-generation negative person, and his family conditions were good. Now that he worked hard every day, it would be too miserable if he couldn't spend the money he earned as he wanted.

"But...it's true."

Maybe they were used to a frugal life before, and it was hard to accept their lavish spending for a while. Yes, they have money now, and there is no need to worry about it as much as before.

Looking up at the smiling Hoshino Sora, Yaxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded in agreement. As long as the other party is here, she can make back whatever money she spends.

"Well, let's go home."
