After finishing the disciple training on Sunday afternoon, Mu Yue went to the main city area. Instead of going home, he went directly to Shuimen's house.
When having dinner at Mu Yue's place last night, Kushina and Minato told Mu Yue that they had almost finished practicing how to make the braised pork, and would officially start making it tomorrow afternoon, and that Mu Yue could come over and take a look if she was free.
When Mu Yue arrived, they had just finished cooking the pork belly and were preparing to color it with soy sauce.
When Mu Yue was about to step forward to help, she was stopped by Kushina.
"Mu Yue, just watch. If there is anything wrong with the steps, you can tell me. There is no need for help." Kushina said.
Kushina eats at Mu Yue's house every night, but she is embarrassed to ask Mu Yue for help.
Shuimen took a fruit plate and poured a glass of water for Mu Yue, smiling gently:
"Muyue, you don't need to help today, just be the invigilator."
Minato and Kushina had the same idea and thought that they should do it themselves this time.
"Then I have to be lazy." Mu Yue said with a smile.
"You can use a skewer to poke some small holes in the pork skin and then pour soy sauce on it. This will make the braised pork more flavorful and will also make it looser when you fry it later." Mu Yue reminded.
Kushina Minato just realized that he had forgotten such a small detail.
Under Mu Yue's reminder, Kushina and Minato completed each step in an orderly manner, frying and slicing, seasoning, and steaming...
By the time the two finished their work, it was already dark.
"Although this braised pork is delicious, it is really troublesome to make. Muyue, you must be very hungry." Kushina asked.
Compared to some of the home-cooked dishes she usually makes, braised pork with pork is much more troublesome. It is obviously just a dish, but it has to go through three steps: boiling, frying and steaming.
"It's okay, after all I was just watching from the side." Mu Yue replied.
While the two were talking, Minato brought up the finished braised pork.
"Next, please let Mr. Mu Yue give the grades." Minato joked.
"You have been busy for so long, why don't you taste the fruits of your labor first?" Mu Yue did not rush to taste it, but chose to let Minato Kushina eat first.
"Then let's eat together." Kushina, who was already very hungry, decided not to do anything unnecessary.
The three of them quickly served their meal, said "It's time to eat," and started eating.
"That's right, it's this feeling of being fat but not greasy!" Kushina picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, then took a mouthful of rice with chopsticks. An excited expression appeared on her face, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.
She felt that her time was not wasted as she successfully learned how to cook a delicious dish.
Although she felt that Mu Yue's cooking was still better, Kushina felt that there was no one in the world who could cook better than Mu Yue. Isn't it normal to be slightly worse than the best in the world?
"When Sensei Jiraiya comes back, I will definitely make it for him to taste." Minato said while eating.
Minato was also very satisfied with the braised pork, so he wanted to share it with Jiraiya.
"Well, it's very well done and doesn't have any major flaws." Mu Yue also gave praise after tasting it.
It's not that I'm just trying to improve his impression of me, but this dish is an easy home-cooked dish, and with him there to give me guidance, the finished product will naturally not be bad.
However, an awkward scene soon occurred. The braised pork was quickly eaten up and the three of them stared at each other.
"Sorry, I forgot to make other dishes." Looking at the empty plate, Minato came to his senses.
"I was so focused that I totally forgot about it." Kushina smiled sheepishly.
"Let me cook two dishes." Mu Yue stood up and said.
"This is not good. You are the guest, how can you let the guests cook?" Kushina was a little tempted, but felt that this was not a good idea.
"Then you want me to go home and make it and bring it to me?" Mu Yue asked with a smile.
"I'll wash the vegetables." Minato stood up silently.
Kushina thought about the taste of the food Mu Yue cooked, and finally couldn't help but nodded.
"Mu Yue, aren't you interested in sealing techniques? What sealing techniques have you been learning recently? I can teach you some techniques of sealing techniques." Kushina, who was sitting at the dining table doing nothing, couldn't help but ask.
Kushina felt embarrassed that Mu Yue had been invited to her house for a free meal, and she wanted to repay Mu Yue.
"I'm still reading various theoretical books. Do you have any recommendations for sealing techniques? It would be best if it's available in the library?" Mu Yue said after thinking for a while.
"If you haven't started learning yet, how about I teach you the introductory sealing technique of our Uzumaki clan? I can also test your talent in sealing techniques.
If you learn it within a day, you are a genius in the Sealing Technique, if you learn it within a week, you have Sealing Technique talent, and if it takes more than a month, it is not recommended to waste time on Sealing Technique. "Kushina said.
"Then how long did it take you to learn it, Kushina?" Mu Yue asked while heating oil in a pan.
"One day." Kushina answered proudly, and she waited for Mu Yue to ask.
"Then you must be a genius in sealing techniques." Mu Yue praised.
"Generally, it means that he has learned most of the sealing techniques of our Uzumaki clan." Kushina said generally, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could no longer be controlled.
After dinner, Kushina handed Mu Yue a scroll and went to wash the dishes while Minato explained things to Mu Yue.
Mu Yue listened very seriously, more seriously than ever before.
"This sealing technique is called One Finger Speed Seal. It creates a seal to block chakra at an extremely fast speed. However, the binding force is not strong and it is easy to break. It does not have much practical significance and is generally only used for entry-level training." Minato explained.
I don't know if it's because Shuimen's seal technique is high and he's good at teaching, or if Mu Yue has a talent for seal technique, but he feels that this one-finger seal seems quite simple?
Mu Yue didn't show this aspect, but just asked questions from time to time.
…
On Monday, Gang Zitie arrived at the Ninja School early. Seeing that Kanzuki Izumo had not arrived yet, he nodded with satisfaction. He put a novel on the table and began to read.
When he felt that Shen Yue Chu Yun was about to arrive, Gang Zitie put the textbook away and only left the novel on top.
"Zitie, didn't you say you didn't need to review? Why are you here so early to read?" Shen Yue Chu Yun, who had studied until one o'clock in the morning last night, asked in surprise.
Gang Zitie raised the novel in his hand and said, "How can I review it? This is a new ninja novel that was recently published. It's really good."
Shen Yue Chu Yun looked at the cover pattern and the title of the book and felt relieved. He smiled and said,
"Reading novels to relax is indeed a good choice."
"So Zitie likes reading novels. I'll buy him a best-selling novel tomorrow and let him read it for two weeks." Shen Yue Chu Yun said to himself.
He felt that the first place was becoming more and more stable.
"Izumo, why do you look so listless? Did you stay up late to study? It's not good for your health and will not help with the exam." Gang Zitie asked tentatively with a concerned look on his face.
"No, I was playing games with my cousins last night and forgot the time. I went to bed very late." Shenyue Izumo said naturally.
"Playing games to relax is not bad." Gang Zitie smiled, feeling that the first place was becoming more and more stable.
It's good to like playing games, so he decided to find out more about various games after school and try to get Shenyue Izumo to play various games every day for two weeks.
"What novel or game?" Hongdou became interested when she entered the classroom.
