late at night.

"Dongdong..."

At the dining table, Xia Yu, who was flipping through a large book, was awakened by a crisp knock.

"I'll go back to my room to sleep first!"

Zhu Qing yawned, stretched his waist, and paused before going out, "Don't stay up too late, there is enough time. I'm already walking on the road. Give me another two days to get started! Don't worry!"

Xia Yu nodded to her back, "Then you go to bed!"

After saying that, he lowered his head to read the book again.

Don't doubt it.

This book is the medicinal food note I found in the attic of our store. The old man’s half-life research was recorded on it. When it comes to Yin and Yang and Five Elements, traditional Chinese medicinal food has this knowledge. Xia Yu flipped this book, which is equivalent to asking the old man for help from the air.

"Old man..."

After a while, he grabbed a ball of sticky fat from a black pot on the table, as if he was playing with plasticine and kneading it. He murmured himself in the kitchen:

"The filling is not the core, the dough is the soul of this golden recipe. Put the flavors that match the yin and yang and five elements in the dough, give it a balanced delicacy, and build a stable Yin and Yang Bagua in the mouth of the taster..."

Speaking of this, Xia Yu suddenly frowned and closed the book.

"Who?"

He turned his head and looked at the half-closed door. There was a sound of footsteps outside, slim and quiet, and he had been wandering for a while.

His footsteps disappeared.

"Is there no one?" He opened the door and looked out. It should be three or four in the morning. He leaned out and saw the cold moonlight outside the corridor. He shouted, and the voice-controlled lights suddenly lit up. The corridor leading to the living area was clearly reflected in the field of view. There were no figures, empty.

His heart was filled with the competition, and Xia Yu didn't think much about it and went back to the kitchen to sit down.

But not long after, the door behind him opened with a click.

Turning back, Xia Yu was stunned.

“…Erina?”

The girl standing at the door wearing a long pajamas and her hair was a little scattered. Perhaps she had just woken up, her expression was a little stiff, her face was paralyzed, and her pair of beautiful eyes were watching, with unusual flashes.

"It's almost morning!"

Xia Yu pointed to the clock on the table, and just lowered his head to finish reading a note from the old man. Unexpectedly, there was a slight movement across the dining table. The girl who was getting up at night pulled open the chair and sat opposite him, looking straight at him.

At this time, a strange fragrance spread in the air.

This scent of fragrance seems to be there or not, Xia Yu’s nose is very smart, although it does not have a super sense of smell, it is a bit similar to the smell emitted by the burning of the butter lamp in the temple. The faint milky fragrance seems to have the function of calming down the mind.

She shook her head and didn't think much about it. She was watching it attentively. Based on Xia Yu's subconscious thoughts, the girl probably had insomnia when she got up at night. If she wanted to sit, she would just sit for a while.

After a while, the tea fragrance is leisurely.

Erina had boiled water and made tea. When the tea cup was handed to her, the heat rushed over, Xia Yu raised her head and smiled slightly at the girl: "Thank you."

Her lips moved silently, and the girl in her nightgown just raised the corners of her lips, but there was no sound.

The winter nights are long.

It was almost dawn that Xia Yu put down the old man's note, his eyes shining brightly, and it was obvious that he had gained some rewards after reading it overnight.

The girl left quietly, and the faint ghee smell that accompanied him to read disappeared without a trace. The tea in the teapot was still warm. He poured a cup himself and moistened his mouth. He didn't feel tired after a night, and he was even full of energy and had no need to help.

"Three days left!"

Xia Yu thought: "There is no problem with the ingredients. Yin and Yang and Five Elements can be used as the starting point from the past "Peacock Dance" recipe. After all, I had at least mastered several aquatic products of attributes and created a sashimi feast!"

I learned it overnight, so Xia Yu hurriedly washed up and found a new batch of ingredients to practice.

Since it was a collaboration, he and Zhu Qing also discussed that "Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasures Soul-Suppressing Buns" are indispensable for her changing meaning of food. The key is how to connect the meaning of food with Yin and Yang and Five Elements online.

You should know that the same recipe will be used differently in the hands of different chefs.

After all, the chefs have their own characteristics, and the most prominent ones are the kitchen heart mark and the food meaning mark. What Xia Yu is most worried about now is not whether he can give the secret to the dough, but how the marks of him and Zhu Qing are integrated and resonate in the same dish!

They can do it in "Rainbow Wine", which does not mean that they can do it in this recipe.

Coordinate!

Xia Yu sighed and was about to get up, but his whole body was shocked.

"coordination!"

He read it again, and his pupils dilated rapidly.

"Yin and Yang!"

"Yes, the dough needs to be harmonious with yin and yang, and outside, the chef who makes dough and baozi also fits the avenue with one yin and one yang? It is better to combine the meaning of food from the angle of yin and yang. This is the most natural framework!" Xia Yu was surprised and vaguely felt that he grasped the key to opening the door.

...

During breakfast, Xia Yu took a bowl of hot porridge and sat in front of the TV.

Cheerinai was sitting on the sofa bent her legs. She had already had breakfast and was watching TV programs with relish.

This is a search program, and in the picture, there is a classical competition venue in the closed period.

The female reporter's slightly excited voice came out:

"...This is the world-famous Hokkaido Shrine Pavilion, which has been famous all over the past period of time. It has been held several times here. It is said that the Shrine Pavilion was first built. The first food halberd was the giant who led the Japanese food industry at that time, and the life-and-death food halberd that came across the ocean. The giant was defeated and sacrificed his life with a septile... "

The camera focuses on a portrait in the museum. A middle-aged man wearing a samurai uniform and a cold-faced look at the camera on the painting, full of momentum.

This is the story behind the competition hall. The female reporter said that the topic turned to the upcoming swordsmanship battle three days later.

"Three days later, the century-old competition hall will usher in another wonderful showdown!"

"Which group is more optimistic about?"

"Not mentioning the three mysterious chefs, the three special chefs of the three combinations, are all incredibly young... Oh, yes, yes, and Chef Xia, please allow me to cheer for Chef Xia here as a personal identity!"

The female reporter suddenly took out a photo of her big head. She didn't know where to get the photo. The boy on it was wearing Baiou Junior High School uniform. It seemed that he was taken during a group stay. He looked at the camera with an idiot face with resentment.

"puff!"

Erina looked at it and suddenly laughed at the TV.

Xia Yu was almost spitting out the porridge in his mouth. He finally swallowed it. He was so naive that he was extremely speechless in his heart when he watched the photos of the TV: "This is when I first came? No wonder he looked desperate and Sima's face!"

"By the way!"

He called out to the girl who was still smiling, and saw that the girl was so ecstatic and tired that she couldn't help but ask strangely: "Erina, didn't you have insomnia last night?"

He pointed to the bowl of hot porridge in his hand, "I made medicinal porridge in the morning and had some good condition!"

Hearing this, the girl threw her eyes at him with a psychopathic look.
