Food: I, Liu Maoxing, can’t be low-key at all - Chapter 53
“Oh? Tansho was called here too!” Yukihira said
“Xiaohui, good morning. Liu Maoxing greeted
“Good morning. Liu Maoxingjun”
“How should I put it? It feels like I’m feeling a lot more relaxed here.” Yukihira said
“Xiaohui is the freshener of the Polestar dormitory……”Yuuki said
“I agree with this.” Liu Maoxing nodded.
Xiaohui was dumbfounded:”？？？”
“Okay, everyone. Come over here.”Senior Yise waved to everyone.
Liu Maoxing and others followed.
“Understanding how ingredients grow is also an important part of learning how to cook. You can call this place the Pole Star Garden, or the Isshiki Garden. Come, try it. Isshiki Hui took two tomatoes that had just been picked from Xiaohui’s basket and handed them to Liu Maoxing and Xingping.
“Ah? Thank you.”Liu Maoxing and Xingping took the tomato and thanked him.
“Hmm? It’s pretty good.”Liu Maoxing said
“What do you mean by”pretty good”? This is obviously delicious! The fruit is plump and sweet, and the quality is so good that I want to buy some for my home! It’s amazing that crops of this level can be grown!”Xingping said
“Oh, actually, my mind is focused on these things, and I haven’t been attending classes recently.……”Isshiki Hui said modestly
“This is totally putting the cart before the horse, hey!!”Xu Ping yelled
“No wonder I always feel like he has no classes.……”Liu Maoxing was speechless.
For the next half day, everyone started to work in the fields.
Some watered the fields, some fertilized them, some worked hard to open up new fields (Liu Maoxing danced with his hoe like a wind and fire wheel, which scared Isshiki Hui’s squinting eyes), and some quietly picked ripe fruits. During this time, Ibuzaki Shun and Sakaki Ryoko also arrived.
Before we knew it, it was noon.
“Ah! I’m hungry,” Yuji said, holding her stomach.
“Ouch! My waist is so sore!
“Everyone, it’s time for lunch.” Xiaohui came out carrying a big lunch box.
“Oh? Is that what Tian did?”Xingping said
“”Yeah. I got up early today!” Xiaohui said, and then she opened the lunch box, revealing the contents, which were very simple rice balls.
“Oh? Rice balls? Interesting!”Liu Maoxing said
“”It’s great! It’s great!! Eat rice balls after finishing farm work!” Yukihira touched his chin and sighed
“Then I won’t be polite! I’m going to eat!” Yuji picked up a rice ball and ate it.
“Wow! It’s so delicious! Is it salt and onion sauce?”
“Hmm. I mixed the salted scallion sauce with the blanched chicken breast, and also coated the rice balls with the sauce.
“Hmm~~This salty taste really whets my appetite!!”Yuki was very happy.
“After the activity, I want to eat something salty.……”Sakaki Ryoko said while eating a rice ball
“Hmm. Is this… kelp? Quite a traditional taste!” Isshiki Hui picked up a rice ball and looked at it.
Xiaohui nodded.
Isshiki Hui took a bite and said:”Hmm? Hmm! Braised kelp and… cheese?”
“Hmm. The rich sweetness of the stew goes surprisingly well with the cheese.”Xiao Hui said
“What flavor is the last one?” Yukihira asked
“Honey garlic marinated pork. It tastes really good.”Liu Maoxing said while eating a rice ball
“Really? Really! It’s delicious! The smell of garlic is unbearable!!”Xingping praised without hesitation.
“Boil pork belly and garlic until soft, then add wine, miso, and honey and marinate for a whole day. It tastes good with rice, so I cut it into small pieces and add it to the dumplings.
“Mmm~ It’s delicious!” Yuji said. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“Ah… we also have barley tea and roasted tea here, please choose what you like.”Xiao Hui was really thoughtful.
“Ah… huh!!”Everyone drank a cup of tea and felt relieved.
“This is the charm of Tadokoro’s cooking. It can calm the hearts of those who taste it.”Isshiki Hui said
“The chicken breast didn’t taste tough at all, the pork was very soft, and every dish was cooked very delicately.”Xingping said.
Xiaohui was embarrassed by what he said.[]
“But why can’t I do it in class?” Yukihira asked stupidly.
“Ugh!!”Xiao Hui was heartbroken, it was a critical hit
“Woohoo… I’ve always been like this… I get nervous in front of people, and then my brain goes blank, and I fail at everything I do.……”Xiaohui poked each other with her hands and explained
“Ah… you really work hard!” Yukihira looked a little confused.
“.Sister Suo, you should relax a little when cooking.”Iseki Hui said
“Yeah! Xiaohui will definitely become a good chef and a good wife in the future!!”You Ji said
“Uh? Hehehe…hehe…is that so?” The silly girl touched the back of her head and smiled foolishly.
“Okay! Let’s finish eating! I’ll give my comments as well.” Liu Maoxing drank the barley tea in the cup.
“Oh? Liu Maoxingjun, do you want to comment too?”You Ji said
“Xiaohui is a typical character who gets flustered and can’t show her true strength when she is nervous. Her true strength is clearly reflected in this rice ball.”
“Oh? What strength?”
“If you can get rid of your nervousness and study some techniques seriously, you still have hope of making it to the last five of the top ten.
”
”
Ah…)
“Liu Maoxingjun! Is there anyone who praises others like you?”You Ji was unhappy.
“I’m not praising anyone, I’m just telling the truth. There is something very rare in Xiaohui’s cooking, and the power of this thing is enough to allow her to overcome some of the technical gaps and become one of the top ten. But now there are fewer and fewer chefs who have this thing, and it’s all because of money.”Liu Maoxing said
“what is this?”
“The heart that cooks for the sake of others is hard to explain.”
“Yes. This is indeed the advantage of Miss Tadokoro. Isshiki Hui put her hands on her hips and nodded.
“It’s so mysterious.” Youji said in a daze. I don’t understand.
“Look at this. It just arrived.” Ibuzaki Shun came in with a booklet.
“Finally here!”Yuuji was a little nervous
“Uh? What is this? Residential training?”Xingping asked.
