44: Chapter 44: Interesting Recipes 44: Chapter 44: Interesting Recipes Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After breakfast, Yu sent the two Chinese girls to continue cleaning and returned to the kitchen with the empty stear.
“I’m back…”
Sen Tian Makoto was panting as she dragged a box over from her family’s cake house.
She placed the box outside the kitchen and opened it to reveal an array of baking tools and materials.
“The the is still eggs.”
“Using eggs as the main ingredient, make a dish, any dish, as long as it’s filling,” Yu said, facing away from her while washing the stear.
This ti, Sen Tian Makoto took a bit longer, again using the oven.
“Egg tart, hmm.”
Seeing the confectionery Makki brought, Yu was slightly surprised but shook his head after tasting, “Average.
Still so way from the Far Moon High School’s passing standard.”
Sen Tian Makoto bit her lower lip.
Had this been before tasting Yu’s stead buns, Sen Tian Makoto might have questioned him, feeling dissatisfied.
But the shocked Sen Tian Makoto now understood her position, no longer assuming her forr girlfriend’s status but like a student earnestly listening to her ntor’s teachings.
“Egg pudding?
Just a bit short,” Yu sighed when Makki presented her third creation.
For the fourth attempt, egg biscuits, Yu t Makki’s expectant eyes and still shook his head.
“Aren’t these all ordinary recipes, no matter how perfectly done, unable to break through the upper limits?”
After tasting several pastries, Yu had an idea in mind.
It wasn’t that Sen Tian Makoto didn’t make them well.
In fact, she made them too well, ticulously crafted, displaying the delicate thoughts of a female chef to the fullest.
However, an over-emphasis on detail resulted in a loss of innovation.
Simply put, it’s like a defensive monarch, governing diligently within a small realm, trapping oneself in a small circle.
Take ‘egg’ as a dish.
In the Far Moon transfer student assessnt, Xingping Chuangzhen used his creativity to make a very unique “Transford” raw egg rice bowl.
The surprise elent of that dish was the chicken wing at jelly.
The refreshing and salty taste of the at jelly, against the softness and sweetness of the egg, complented each other, imdiately elevating a common dish, allowing the Divine Tongue to step into an unexplored taste world.
Thus, that Transford raw egg rice bowl was nad after Xingping.
It was an original dish, shining with wisdom’s brilliance.
Yu had identified Sen Tian Makoto’s shortcomings.
This was her culinary style, ticulous, conservative, especially ‘conservative’, a stark contrast to her audacious personality.
Fortunately, Yu had a solution to this.
Recipe not working, huh?
No need to break the original recipe’s limits and create a new dish.
That requires a solid foundation and an unexpected breakthrough mont.
Make it simpler, use an existing advanced recipe to overwhelm it!
“System, filter blue recipes with eggs as the main ingredient for .”
“Matching recipes, a total of one thousand one hundred and thirty-one.
Would you like to view them?”
“Wait…” Yu was startled by the number, “Add another filter, sort by price!”
The system listed the recipes:
“Golden Fried Rice” (Blue), price 500 Fa Points.
“Egg Flower Beef Noodle” (Blue), price 500 Fa Points.
“Furong Crab at Egg” (Blue), price 550 Fa Points.
…
Browsing through, Yu also spotted so dessert recipes but ultimately decided to purchase the “Furong Crab at Egg”!
“Successfully purchased.”
“Lost 550 Fa Points, remaining 790 Fa Points.”
“Use!”
The blue recipe in the inventory transford into a stream of information and flooded Yu’s brain.
He nodded quietly.
“Furong Crab at Egg” seed the most ordinary of those recipes because it was too common, like a dish any chef could make.
However, Yu didn’t care about the recipe’s ease of handling.
He valued change, creativity!
Exactly!
Furong Crab at Egg, the final dish form, could be widely varied.
It could beco an egg pancake wrapping crab at rolls.
It could be made into scrambled eggs.
However, the most authentic thod remained the Furong olet, with crab at mixed in.
Yu pondered over the information in his mind, inspiration continuously erging, and his hands itching to try.
After four failures, Sen Tian Makoto didn’t rush to try a fifth ti but stood at the kitchen table, her head slightly bowed in thought.
Yu could see the seriousness on her delicate side profile.
Yu organized the morandum of the recipe in his mind and found pen and paper to write down the recipe.
Then, he patted Sen Tian Makoto’s shoulder, “Here you go!”
“Hmm?”
Sen Tian Makoto blankly took the paper filled with words, gave it a cursory glance, and covered her mouth in surprise, “Is this a recipe?”
“Yes!”
“Furong Crab at Egg.”
“It’s an interesting recipe; you can make it your own.
Be sure to use your strengths,” Yu said with a wave of his hand, “That’s all for today.
Go study the recipe.
Co over when you have results.”
Yu turned and went upstairs.
Watching his figure disappear up the stairs, Sen Tian Makoto read through the recipe again from start to finish, took a shallow breath of cool air, her eyes showing a hint of emotion and excitent.
This recipe…
It’s really interesting!
Sen Tian Makoto couldn’t help shouting in her heart.
Inspiration found an outlet, turning into a torrent.
Sen Tian Makoto hurriedly packed the tools and materials, dragging the heavy suitcase out of Xia’s shop, looking back at the second-floor bedroom window on the street and murmured softly, “…Thank you, I will work hard, Yu!”
Yu didn’t linger in the Chef God Space for a leisurely day.
As the restaurant gained fa within the ACG community, young patrons began coming by after 10 a.m.
to inquire.
Realizing it opened at six in the evening, most patrons left disappointed, while the remaining ones sat in the shop, eagerly waiting for Yu to serve them tea.
Where there’s tea, there should be snacks to accompany, otherwise drinking tea on an empty stomach would upset the patrons’ stomachs and health.
Yu had no mind to make pastries, so he simply went to the nearby Sen Tian’s Cake House, bought so freshly baked pastries, paired them with his brewed green tea, and sold each set for 1,000 yen.
The price wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t overly expensive either.
Thus, from morning to six in the evening, Xia’s cuisine shop resembled a teahouse.
The March weather wasn’t hot yet, and a group of young otaku custors chatted leisurely in the store, creating a rather pleasant atmosphere.
The next morning, the system refreshed the business data.
With the addition of tea and pastries, the shop’s revenue was astonishing.
From just over 200,000 yen on the first day to exceeding 400,000 yen the second day, achieving exponential growth.
On the third day, perhaps the shop initially established a reputation in the ACG community, ‘Divine Tongue’ Tiqie Helinai couldn’t sit still after hearing the news, and let Niho Fuyuka drive her to the old shopping street by evening.
“The road ahead is blocked…”
The car could only park outside the district.
Tiqie Helinai, sitting in the back seat, irritably crossed her legs and frowned, “Hizaki, go see what’s happening!”
Niho Fuyuka complied, got out of the car, and soon ran back, her face full of incredulous expression.
“E-Elena-sama, there’s a line ahead.
They all seem to be patrons of Xia’s Chinese Restaurant!”
