Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

Isn't that a bit too awesome?

...

Zhang Wanqiu, who was standing next to him, was greatly shocked.

He looked dejected: "Master, I can't even do this one step."

"You didn't even notice the time and it was perfectly medium-rare. Even if I followed the time exactly, I might not be able to get it right."

Xu Zhou glanced at him: "If you can't do it, then practice according to the time I give you."

My recipes use imaginary ingredients.

The quality of each steak at Totsuki Academy is almost identical, and under the same heat, the cooking time for medium-rare is almost the same.

This dish is also the most suitable inexpensive and delicious meal in my own restaurant to upgrade to the top level first, and hire more kitchen helpers to prepare the dishes.

...

Soon it was time to make the sauce.

Xu Zhou put the onions and minced garlic into the pot.

Then, the sauce made by mixing grape juice and dark soy sauce was poured into the pot.

While cooking, he explained: "The key to tender beef is its tenderness, but cheaper steaks aren't as good as high-quality ones. Onions help tenderize the beef..."

The culinary students next to him took out their phones to take notes, and their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Xu Zhou.

Teacher Xu's lectures were full of valuable information!

pattern!

Teacher Xu's vision is truly remarkable!

Once all the dishes were ready, Xu Zhou placed them on the table and said, "Try it."

"Teacher, why is it paired with baked asparagus and mushrooms?"

Zhang Wanqiu looked at the asparagus and mushroom stew next to a whole bowl of rice and asked curiously.

Xu Zhou glanced at it: "Because this set meal is relatively cheap and is also suitable for some working people to eat long-term, it should be more nutritious if you are going to eat it long-term."

"So that's it..."

Zhang Wanqiu cautiously took a bite of the steak, and then his eyes lit up.

"good to eat!"

When he picked up the steak with his chopsticks, he was shocked to find that the chopsticks could actually cut through the steak in front of him.

The steak was incredibly tender.

You don't even need a knife and fork; chopsticks are enough to easily pick them apart.

Incredibly soft.

It was a scene I had never seen before.

...

When Zhang Wanqiu ate a big mouthful of rice with a piece of meat, accompanied by onions and minced garlic, the instant satisfaction made him unable to resist taking another bite.

The rice wraps around the tender meat, and the onions and minced garlic greatly stimulate the taste buds.

The steak was incredibly tender; it melted in your mouth like smooth pudding with just a light touch of your teeth.

One mouthful after another.

Simply can not stop.

Xu Zhou looked at Zhang Wanqiu and watched him eat faster and faster, just like the judges in the comic. He couldn't help but sigh.

This comic...

It's so real!

Even Zhang Wanqiu himself was surprised.

"how come!"

As he ate, his cheeks bulging, he was shocked: "I've had even better fried steaks from Teacher Xu before!"

"But today, I just can't stop!"

"The satisfaction of being surrounded by the onion and garlic sauce and the tender steak rice, along with the plum flavor in the rice, is so appetizing and delicious!"

The aroma of onions and garlic tantalizes the taste buds along with the rice, creating a spicy and savory flavor with a hint of char, and a touch of grape sweetness.

Even a big mouthful of rice has the appetizing flavor of preserved plum.

After taking a few bites, Zhang Wanqiu continued to stuff the baked bamboo shoots and mushrooms into his mouth while eating.

The pungent aroma of onions, combined with the rich, creamy flavor of the baked mushrooms topped with a layer of cheese, creates an exceptionally intense and delightful experience.

The fresh sweetness of the mushrooms is enveloped in the milky aroma of the cheese. With one bite, you can taste the soft and sweet flavor of the mushrooms under the soft and milky cheese.

"If I could have a set meal like this for 45 yuan every day at noon, wouldn't that be amazing?"

After finishing the whole bowl, Zhang Wanqiu let out a burp: "Burp..."

The entire bowl of rice and vegetables ended up in my stomach.

The rich and mellow flavor still seems to linger on my lips, but strangely enough, my stomach feels very comfortable.

...

The people around were practically drooling with envy.

Seeing Zhang Wanqiu's frenzied eating just now, my mouth was practically watering.

They know that other dishes taste better than this one!

The owners of Xiao Xu's restaurant know that the dishes made with expensive ingredients are better than this cheap Charité steak set meal.

But for students at Songnan University, this 45-yuan meal is something they can afford to eat every day in the future!

"I want one too! I want one too!"

"Mr. Xu, will this set meal be available every day from now on?"

Xu Zhou nodded: "Yes, but it may not be me who does it."

The person next to him immediately said, "As long as it's Boss Xu's sauce and recipe, it should taste good!"

"Yes, I'll keep it under control."

Xu Zhou looked at Zhang Wanqiu, who was standing nervously beside him, and said, "Let's get started."

...

Zhang Wanqiu suddenly felt extremely nervous.

Before starting, he suddenly turned to me and asked, "Master, if you let me make this dish, does that mean you'll let me work as your kitchen helper here every day from now on?"

He sounded very insecure when he said this.

"No, I want to sign the contract!"

"It should be at least a ten-year contract... no, a lifetime contract, right?"

The shop is so popular that even a rich second-generation like Xu Kai can see its potential.

If I can become a regular kitchen helper now, wouldn't I be the master chef's first apprentice someday?

The more Zhang Wanqiu thought about it, the more expectant he became when he looked at Xu Zhou, then puffed out his chest proudly and confidently: "Boss! I want to sign the contract!"

"Would you like to reconsider this?"

Xu Zhou hesitated for a moment: "I remember when you were at Songbei University, you were very reluctant to work as a kitchen helper at Lei Jie's restaurant, weren't you?"

"That's different."

Zhang Wanqiu said earnestly, "Teacher Lei only gives me a fixed recipe, but a master can tell me the principles... Although he can tell me how many minutes and seconds to fry the steak, that's because I'm a novice and can't control the heat."

How can this be the same?

"Let's talk about it later."

Xu Zhou looked at him, who seemed eager to sign a contract with him the next second, and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "If you still want to sign a contract with me after you're an adult, then I'll sign with you."

"Really?" Zhang Wanqiu's eyes lit up.

"Ah."

"Great!"

He was so happy he almost jumped for joy, and then he started making steak according to the principles Xu Zhou had just told him.

Chapter 130 Grilled mackerel really does have a warming effect on the stomach.

Xu Zhou gave Zhang Wanqiu a recipe and cooked it accordingly.

Several key cooking times for the steak are listed above.

The most important ingredient, the sauce, is also prepared in advance.

All Zhang Wanqiu needed to do was fry the steak according to his schedule, sauté the onions, and pour in the sauce.

The portions of asparagus, mushrooms, and even cheese were prepared in advance.

At first, he needed to give him a few pointers himself.

"The steak was slightly overcooked."

"After pouring in the sauce, you'll see the onions turn orange. Once the sauce has reduced, you can stop cooking."

"After frying the steak, there's no need to wash the pan. Just add the fat and juices from frying the steak to the onions and minced garlic and stir-fry."

Xu Zhou looked at a few points he hadn't paid much attention to, wrote down all the times on them, and then stuck the paper in front of the stove.

Gradually, Zhang Wanqiu's movements became more and more skillful.

"A Chariapin steak is ready!"

"The steak will be ready soon! Those who want steak, please line up here!"

Upon hearing this, the students from Songnan University glanced at Xu Zhou, but still asked persistently, "Little Xu, which dish are you going to make later?"

Other dishes available at the restaurant.

Xu Zhou smiled and said, "Grilled mackerel with cabbage puree, sukiyaki rice bowl, and beef stew in Burgundy red wine and a barbecue set meal."

"Ok."

A student from Songnan University lamented, "My allowance can only cover two meals a week..."

After saying that, I had no choice but to obediently go over there and queue up to buy a Chariabin steak.

...

The 150 steak set meals sold out quickly.

Zhang Wanqiu was extremely busy on the side.

Xu Zhou would occasionally check on his food preparation process, and then slowly and methodically prepare the other dishes in the restaurant.

"Grilled mackerel with cabbage puree is ready."

"Boss, I'd also like a grilled mackerel with cabbage puree!"

The girl's voice sounded somewhat familiar. When Xu Zhou heard it, he looked up and immediately saw the extremely thin girl who suffered from anorexia.

When she saw him looking at her, she smiled sweetly and then sat down at the bar.

"I saw someone online today saying that the grilled mackerel with cabbage puree at your restaurant is really good for the stomach."

"Who said that?"

Xu Zhou served a plate of grilled mackerel with cabbage puree, then handed it over and asked, "Do you know any of our regular customers?"

"Someone posted it online."

The girl, who was as thin as a little skull doll, stared at the grilled mackerel with cabbage puree in front of her for a long time before first bringing it closer to smell it.

To her surprise…
