I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 82 Apple Clafouti
Shirakawa Kazuya walked into the kitchen and saw Nagata Chinatsu wearing an apron and sitting on a small bench to rest. He smiled and said, "Why are you lazy when you first come in? Tell Mrs. Miyagi immediately and let her deduct your salary."

Nagata Qianxia curled her lips, and said indifferently, "You go, anyway, I don't have any salary at all. Mom is so stingy!"

"Ah, is it so miserable?" Shirakawa Kazuya took out the meat from the refrigerator to defrost, took the small blackboard at the same time, picked up the chalk and started thinking about what to cook today.

"General, what are you hesitating about?" Nagata Chinatsu stood up, holding a rag and preparing to go out to wipe the table.

Shirakawa Kazuya took a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard, "I'm thinking about what dishes to serve today."

"It's pretty much the same as usual, just selling some side dishes to go with wine and a variety of meats."

"Are there many female customers coming to the store on weekdays?" Shirakawa Kazuya asked a waiter next to him.

The waiter thought for a while and said, "About [-]%. Sometimes it's a little more, but generally it won't be more than half."

"Okay, thank you." Shirakawa Kazuya dismissed the waiter, touched his chin and began to think.

While cleaning the table, Nagata Chika asked Shirakawa Kazuya, "What's the matter, General, did you come up with a good way to get the customers to take the money out of their pockets obediently?"

"There are some immature ideas for me to consider."

Shirakawa Kazuya was going to take this opportunity to try out the dessert skills he had just learned.

He opened the system panel.

Maybe I was lucky. When I reached level [-] in basic cooking skills, I gained the 'Dessert Proficiency'. Now I want to try and see how the desserts I make taste.

He wrote the words "Apple Clafouti" on the small blackboard, along with other common dishes, and hung it on the wall of the hall outside.

Apple clafoutis is one of the traditional French desserts, baked with custard-style batter and apples.

The soft apple slices are pre-fried in butter, and the sweet pudding-like filling is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, making it a delicious combination.It is a very popular dessert in France.

"What dish is this? Fruit salad?" Nagata Chinatsu looked at the small blackboard hanging on the wall and asked Shirakawa Kazuya curiously.

"It's not a salad, but a delicious dessert." Shirakawa Kazuya explained with a sophisticated look, although it was his first time trying it.

"Just hearing the name makes me think it's pretty good." Nagata Chinatsu was looking forward to it, hoping that some guests would order it tonight so that she could figure out what it was.

"I'll make it first, and you can try it when it's done." Bai Chuanhe also took out a few apples, picked some good ones and put them aside.Nagata Qianxia was a little surprised, "Hey, can it be? Shouldn't it be made after someone orders it? It should be better if it's fresh from the oven."

"No, no, this dessert will taste the best when it is cooled and then reheated." Shirakawa Kazuya took out a plane and began to scrape the skin.

After peeling the apples, he took a new knife - because the previous knife was used for cutting meat, it would give the apples a fishy smell.With the knife in hand, he cut the apple evenly into two centimeter-thick slices and stacked them layer by layer for later use.

Nagata Chinatsu stood behind him at some point and said with a smile, "General, don't mind if I watch you create delicious food."

"Of course I don't mind. I think back then, during the Battle of Shoji, we..."

While putting butter into the pan, Shirakawa Kazuya compiled "The Troubles of Japan's No. 1 Chef as a Boy", a book in which they appeared, that currently only exists in his mind.

After the butter melts in the pot, Shirakawa Kazuya slowly pours the prepared apple slices in, adds some beet sugar, and stir-fries over low heat until brown.

"Nagata-san, bring me a bowl, one that can be placed in the oven." Shirakawa Kazuya stared at the pot.

"Okay, here you go." Nagata Chinatsu handed over a special bowl for the oven.

Shirakawa Kazuya took it, spread a thin layer of butter on the bottom and sides of the bowl, and poured some of the freshly fried beet syrup on it.Then stir together the cake flour, vanilla seeds and remaining beet syrup in a large bowl.

"Nagata-san, please help me break an egg into a bowl."

"Okay." Nagata Chinatsu took out an egg, knocked it against the edge of the bowl, and cracked the egg into the bowl with an unskilled gesture.

Pour the beaten eggs into the buttered bowl in front of you, add [-] ml of milk, [-] ml of fresh cream and [-] ml of beer in sequence, and then stir gently inside with a large spoon. , until they are mixed together.

"Today, I want to repeat the game ten years ago, and I want to make up for the regrets I had ten years ago."

While Shirakawa Kazuya was pretending to be a character from somewhere, he poured the fried apple slices and batter into a bowl, then turned on the oven, set it to 190 degrees, and baked it for 10 minutes.

"Is this okay?" Although Nagata Chinatsu is not interested in cooking, she has a high fondness for desserts and wants to learn how to make them at home.

"Yes, now we just need to wait slowly." Shirakawa Kazuya took the thawed pork and began to cook other dishes.

Nagata Chinatsu moved a small stool and sat down in front of the oven, resting her chin on her hands, waiting attentively for the oven to make a "ding" sound.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, the oven made a "ding" sound, waking her up.She stood up excitedly, stamped her feet that were numb from sitting for a long time, and watched Kazuya Shirakawa take the bowl out of the oven with gloves on.

"It smells so good!" Nagata Chinatsu leaned forward, looked at the very good-looking apple clafoutis in the bowl, and swallowed.

Shirakawa Kazuya cut it into many small portions evenly, took one and handed it to Nagata Chinatsu, "Try it."

Under Shirakawa Kazuya's expectant eyes, Nagata Chinatsu opened her mouth and blew, then put the small piece of cake-like dessert into her mouth.

The fragrance and sweetness of the apples, as well as the soft and tender texture of the filling, made Nagata Chinatsu's eyes widen.

"It's delicious! As expected of a general!" Her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
