“The taste is really different.”

After drinking the hot tea I just brewed, the taste has indeed improved, not a little bit.

Gulu.

Drinking tea on an empty stomach is not good for your health. Xia Yu touched his stomach, sipped a few sips of tea, and then put down the tea cup after carefully savoringly.

The eyes are bright.

Tea ceremony is the way to appreciate the beauty of tea.

This is a life art, life etiquette, and a way of self-cultivation.

The earliest and complete tea ceremony came from the Kencha tea ceremony created by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, Xia Yu thought that the tea ceremony was just a false air, and the complex ritual was just for viewing. In the past two years, the old man's words and deeds have changed.

Rigorous tea art is the same as cooking skills.

Ordinary people can cook and cook tea, but compared to professionalism, cooking and tea art are much more casual and free.

Any skill that is promoted to the professional level must become serious, rigorous and meticulous.

Just now, Xia Yu digested the tea ceremony knowledge that came out of his mind, just like a tea doctor who had been training for many years. After tasting the tea he cooked, he secretly gave him a thumbs up.

There is information!

This thousand fame is worth it!

After a few sips of hot tea, my head, which was already a little sleepy, suddenly woke up.

"Tea should be served with snacks..."

Xia Yu smashed his mouth and was hungry. He scooped water and planned to make breakfast by himself. He also included the portion of Anya and Mu Xiaoyue.

Dong! Dong!

Someone knocked on the kitchen door behind him.

"What are you doing?" Xia Yu was busy at the kitchen counter with his back to the door, and he answered angrily.

“…”

Strange silence.

He thought it was the tomboy Mu Xiaoyue, but he didn't hear the echo. Xia Yu poured the hot water into a copper basin filled with flour, and glanced back, then was stunned.

At the door, it was not Anya or Mu Xiaoyue, but a graceful girl.

Maki Morita seemed to have dressed up specifically today. She had a white shirt on her upper body, a black short skirt on her lower body, a pair of brown uniforms and shoes on her feet, and black cotton socks covered her calves. She was full of youthfulness.

She obviously knows the advantages of her temperament. Perhaps because she has been helping her home to manage the pastry house since she was a child, Maki Morita is far more mature than her peers. Her long-sleeved white shirt not only highlights her well-developed girlish curves, but also highlights this maturity and gentleness. If her lower body is not a short skirt, but a women's suit and trousers, she is a beautiful working woman.

Xia Yu's eyes lit up and a whistle blew in his heart.

I have to say that Morita Maki's outfit is very consistent with his taste.

"Why don't you say anything when you come?" Xia Yu said hilariously while rubbing the dough.

"squeak--"

"You squeeze a yarn!"

Xia Yu felt so painful, so he stopped and pointed to the semi-formed dough in the copper basin, "I'll give it to you, pastry master."

"no problem!"

Today, Maki Morita became playful. She was obviously very familiar with the kitchen of the restaurant. She rolled up the sleeves of her white shirt, carefully washed her white and slender hands, and stood beside Xia Yu.

Experts will know if there is any one.

Seeing Maki Morita's dough kneading skills, Xia Yu nodded secretly.

The basic skills are very good. Although there are many machines that replace handicrafts in modern pastries, as a chef, you should not rely too much on machines. The basic skills you should practice still need to be accumulated through practice.

As she said, Morita Maki never gave up on her cooking skills. She has been accumulating, improving, and waiting for transformation over the years.

"It seems that she is best at RB traditional snacks." Xia Yu thought, holding her chin.

Morita's pastry house is also a time-honored brand. Let's not talk about the skills of the boss Uncle Morita. According to his physical memory, the sea bream, cherry blossom cake, dorayaki, machi, and dumpling made by Morita Maki are all very good.

Maybe she can be described with cleverness.

However, pastries are just a specialty direction. Morita Maki once participated in the school entrance examination of the Totsuki Middle School, and his expertise is definitely not just dim sum.

When Morita Maki kneaded the noodles, Xia Yu was not idle either. He took out a piece of fresh pork from the refrigerator, picked up the kitchen knife, and cut it into pieces and chopped it until it turned into a paste.

Next is to marinate the meat, add salt, soy sauce and sesame oil and stir well.

You can add the water soaked from green onions and ginger and stir together. You can also chop the ginger and green onions and mix them. Mix the summer feathers with the two, add ginger and green onions water, and then add a little chopped green onions to stir.

Morita Maki had kneaded the dough and stepped back to the side. His eyes were shining and staring at him busy, "Are you making Xiaolongbao?"

"right!"

Xia Yu contracted the work below, cut the noodles, rolled the noodles, and wrapped the filling with dough. In a short while, the three-layer steamer on the kitchen counter was filled with small buns.

Set the steamer on the stovetop steamer and light it.

"Buzz"

The dark blue flame bloomed. Xia Yu washed his hands gracefully before staring at the girl waiting next to him.

"Remember what I said last night?"

"You really want to help me?"

Morita Maki opened his mouth slightly and said hesitantly, "However, the assessment of transfer students in the Totsuki High School Department is much more difficult than the selection of students entering the secondary school. Among the 100 candidates, only one or two passed."

Students from Yuanyue High School are basically admitted to the middle school. Before graduation, this group of students from the middle school have been screened. Even if the internal direct assessment is not simple.

It takes time to steam the Xiaolongbao. When facing the girl's question, Xia Yu didn't answer it. He just turned around and took out a box of fresh eggs with plastic wrap from the place where the ingredients were stored.

"Use eggs to make cooking, no matter what the snack is, until I am satisfied."

Xia Yu said so as to stuff a box of eggs into the girl's hand.

“Egg…Cooking?”

Morita Maki tilted his head and pointed his fingers at his rosy lower lip, but he didn't understand what Xia Yu meant for a while.

Making egg cooking, gaining his recognition?

Then what?

The girl didn't know that Xia Yu actually asked her to prepare for the transfer student exam in advance, in other words, the exam preview and warm-up.

Facing Xia Yu's calm eyes, Morita Maki nodded after thinking for a moment, "Okay, A Yu."

"Although I don't know what you think for the time being, if you say you want to help me, you must be helping me. Having said that, since the last time the Yuanyue selection, you have not tried my skills for two years. This time I will let you see my progress! I said I didn't give up, but I didn't give up!"

Morita Maki suddenly became serious.

Xia Yu quietly retreated to the kitchen door, staring quietly at Maki Morita who was thinking with his head down, and was quite curious in his heart. What kind of cooking would she make with eggs?

Whether it is Western, Japanese or Chinese, eggs are the most basic ingredients.

pastry?

This is the most likely, after all, it is specialization, and eggs can make a lot of delicious desserts.

If you follow the normal plot, Erina Nakiri will hold an egg in the examination room of the Totsuki High School student at the end of March and scare away all candidates except Toshihiro Tsubasa.

He hopes to help Maki Morida appear in that exam room and successfully pass the assessment.

This is also another way of compensation, and it can also be said to pay off the debts for the predecessor.

After ending that relationship with force majeure, she dried a good girl for so long, Xia Yu asked herself that she could not do anything and had a clear conscience.

Moreover, isn’t it interesting to let Morita Maki go to Yuanyue instead?
