Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 581 Preparation time before the dinner (2)

If you want to talk about what is the most well-known dish in Chongsakura's cultural promotion, there must be one option: tempura.

The so-called tempura is actually a variety of ingredients that are simply processed, wrapped in a thin batter, and fried.

There is actually not much difference from ordinary fried food. The main difference lies in the frying time and the proportion of batter.

But in fact, Chongying's tempura is not as glamorous as they advertise it to the outside world. This thing is widely known largely because of Chongying's lack of resources.

Fried food like tempura is very simple.

As long as it is something that can be eaten, it can be eaten by coating it in batter and frying it.

The fact that thin batter tastes better is just a small aspect, it’s more about saving money when creating this kind of cuisine.

After all, compared to even picking up fallen maple leaves in the forest, or the despised shrimps, flour is so valuable.

It is said that this thing has something to do with Baiying. After all, the people of Chongqing still have to eat after the nuclear war. So at that time, things that were simple to make and made from simple materials were naturally popular.

After all, if you want to say that Donghuang eats leaves and other things, he also eats, for example, there are many wild vegetables such as toona sinensis and elm leaves.

But the toon elm money is eaten from its young leaves, but the maple leaf tempura is made from fallen leaves.

Having said that, it is an indisputable fact that after continuous technological improvements, Shigesakura Tempura is now widely known.

This is what Yang Sikang is doing now.

The prepared special batter is somewhat different from ordinary batter. Yang Sikang added some seasoning to this part of the batter.

Coat the shelled and cleaned shrimps in batter and throw them into a pot with the right oil temperature while you work on the next shrimp.

While coating the new shrimps in batter and putting them into the pot, take out the fried shrimps.

The shrimps in tempura cannot be fried thoroughly. They are cooked but do not lose too much moisture. They still retain the tenderness, elasticity and freshness of live shrimps, which is everything about this dish.

It's easier said than done, but on the other hand, for a person who has mastered Donghuang cuisine to a high level, this thing is only as difficult as that.

Yang Sikang moved briskly, handling new shrimps with one hand, and holding a pair of special long chopsticks with the other hand to constantly pick the shrimps out of the oil pan and put them on the plate.

Simply let it sit to control the oil, and then you can eat it.

Of course, if you want to choose some sauces, he also has several prepared options.

Several kinds of dipping sauces were put on the plate in small dishes, and then a plate of fried shrimps was placed on the plate. Yang Sikang asked the maids to take this out to the royal family.

"Commander-sama is so good at tempura~"

Dafeng was there to help process the live shrimps, and was also responsible for handling other ingredients.

Her hand movements are also not slow. After all, she is Dafeng, and her cooking skills are still very good. What's more, she is cooking Chongying's famous cuisine, and she doesn't need to be taught how to handle the ingredients.

So, although their hands were very busy, the two people who were in a particularly relaxed mood started chatting unconsciously.

"Dafeng, are you learning about sewing recently?"

Yang Sikang suddenly remembered the news he had just heard and asked smoothly.

"How do you know, Commander?"

Dafeng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because Yang Sikang seemed to be good at everything, Dafeng learned a lot.

Although she was praised by Yang Sikang, at least the more she learned about cooking, the more she realized that she could not keep up with Yang Sikang's current level in this aspect.

Therefore, Dafeng started learning sewing some time ago.

The object of study is naturally the sea bream in his own fleet. Although it is a White Eagle submarine, for Dafeng, as long as he can learn something and get praise from the commander, it doesn't matter who he learns from!

"I heard it from Song Hai. I heard it when I was doing shuttlecock just now. But why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

Yang Sikang remembers clearly that Dafeng's beautiful wedding dress in the game was made by herself.

Dafeng's own hands-on ability is very strong, why should he learn from Song Haibream?

"The dolls made by Miss Song Snapper are very cute. I accidentally saw a wonderful doll at her place before, so..."

Dafeng stopped in time, but Yang Fukang suddenly thought of a possibility because of her words.

The sea bream seems to make dolls for its companions and the commander.

But if he remembered correctly, in the game settings, Song Snapper made a doll for the commander when his favorability level was already relatively high.

It should...not be enough, right?

"Speaking of which, Commander, is there anything you want, that is... clothes or something like that?"

Yang Sikang thought for a moment after hearing Dafeng's question.

Many times he actually wears the Minato uniform that represents the commander's status. It has a military uniform feel and the material is very good.

However, as his status has risen, and there are more and more royal ladies, most of his clothes now are prepared by maids, and occasionally he will refer to the opinions of Howe and George V.

Although there were a few custom-made suits that made him feel a little awkward wearing them, at least they looked good.

He was about to answer when he turned around and met Dafeng's expectant eyes.

"Speaking of which, I really want some new clothes recently, but I'm quite busy with work and don't have time to prepare them..."

This is somewhat nonsense. Now that he needs clothes, the maids will basically help him get them. Why does he need to prepare them himself?

But Dafeng's eyes lit up and he immediately accepted the words happily:

"Then, Commander, do you want to try Dafeng's skills?"

Looking into Dafeng's eyes, Yang Sikang smiled and nodded:

"Okay, then let's do it tomorrow. When making clothes or something, you need to take measurements first, right?"

Dafeng nodded quickly, but Yang Sikang immediately pointed at the cutting board in front of Dafeng with the knife in his hand.

"But if you peel it off again, the onion will disappear."

"Eh?! Huh, I'm sorry, Commander... hmm? Ugh!?"

Dafeng was dumbfounded for a moment. She lowered her head and saw that the onions in her hand had shrunk from the size of two fists to the size of one fist. There were a lot of onion slices she peeled off on the cutting board.

Dafeng hurriedly apologized, and unconsciously exerted force on her hand, and a few drops of onion juice splashed out, just falling into the corner of her eyes...

Dafeng's tears suddenly flowed out.

Yang Sikang smiled helplessly, walked to the side and took out a new towel, wet it with water, then walked to Dafeng and held her hand.

"Okay, just be patient for a little while and don't move around."

After carefully wiping Dafeng, Yang Sikang asked:

"Okay, can you open your eyes now?"

"Yes, it is."

Yang Sikang nodded, smiled and handed the towel to Dafeng.

"Fortunately, it's onions. If it were peppers, you'd be in trouble."
