Chapter 60: Learn the art of sealing (Qiu Zhui)
Chapter 60 Learning the Sealing Technique (please follow up)
After finishing the training of his disciples on Sunday afternoon, Mu Yue went to the main city. Instead of going home, he went directly to Minato's home.
While eating at Mu Yue’s place last night, Kushina and Minato told Mu Yue that they had almost mastered the practice of braised pork and were going to officially start doing it tomorrow afternoon. Mu Yue could go over and have a look if she had time.
When Mu Yue arrived, the two of them 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. No need to help." Kushina said.
Eating at Muyue's house every night, Kushina was too embarrassed to ask Muyue to help.
Minato took a fruit plate and poured a glass of water for Muyue and said with a gentle smile:
“Mu Yue, you don’t need to help me today, just be the invigilator.”
Minato and Kushina had the idea that they should do it themselves this time.
“Then I’m going to be lazy.” Mu Yue said with a smile.
“You can use a skewer to poke some small holes in the skin of the meat and then pour soy sauce. This will make the pork more flavorful and make it looser when fried later.” Mu Yue reminded.
Kushina Minato realized that she had forgotten such a small detail.
With Muyue's reminder, Kushina and Minato completed each step in an orderly manner, including frying slices, seasoning, and steaming...
By the time the two of them finished their work, it was already dark.
"Although this braised pork is delicious, it is also very troublesome to make. Mu Yue, you must be very hungry." Kushina asked.
Compared with some of the home-cooked dishes she usually makes, braised pork is much more troublesome. It is obviously one dish, but it actually requires three steps of boiling, frying and steaming.
“Fortunately, after all, I was just watching from the side.” Mu Yue replied.
While the two were talking, Minato brought up the finished pork belly.
“I’ll ask Teacher Muyue to give grades next.” Minato joked.
"You have been busy for so long, why don't you taste the fruits of your labor first?" Mu Yue was not in a hurry to taste it, but chose to let Minato Kushina eat it first.
"Then let's eat together." Kushina, who was already very hungry, decided not to engage in so much nonsense.
The three of them quickly served the rice, said "I'm going to start it", and started eating immediately.
“That’s right, it feels fat but not greasy!” Picking up a piece of meat and putting it in her mouth, and then taking a mouthful of rice with her chopsticks, Kushina showed an excited expression on her face, feeling full of accomplishment.
She felt that her time was not wasted and she successfully learned a delicious dish.
Although she felt that Mu Yue’s cooking was more delicious, Kushina felt that there was no one in the world who cooked better than Mu Yue. Isn’t it normal to be slightly worse than the best in the world?
"When Jiraiya-sensei comes back, I will definitely make it for him to try." Minato said while eating.
Minato was also very satisfied with this plate of meat, so he wanted to share it with Jiraiya.
“Well, it’s very complete and doesn’t have any major shortcomings.” Mu Yue also praised it after tasting it.
It’s not that I just want to gain a good impression, but this dish is not difficult to cook at home, and with his guidance, the finished product will naturally be good.
However, an embarrassing scene soon occurred, that is, the braised pork was finished quickly, and the three of them stared at each other.
"Sorry, I forgot to cook other dishes." Looking at the empty plate, Minato came to his senses.
"I was so focused that I completely forgot about it." Kushina showed an embarrassed smile.
“Let me cook two dishes.” Mu Yue stood up and said. "This is not good, you are a guest, how can you let the guests cook." Kushina was a little moved, but she felt that this was not good.
“Then you want me to make it at home and bring it over?” Mu Yue asked with a smile.
"I'll wash the vegetables." Minato stood up silently.
Kushina thought about the taste of Mu Yue's cooking, and finally nodded uncontrollably.
"Muyue, aren't you interested in sealing techniques? What sealing techniques have you been learning recently? I can teach you some sealing techniques." Kushina, who was sitting at the dining table with nothing to do, couldn't help but ask.
Kushina was really embarrassed and wanted to repay Mu Yue for having a meal at her own house.
"I'm still reading various theoretical books. Do you have any recommended sealing techniques, preferably ones in the library?" Mu Yue thought for a while and said.
“If you haven’t started learning yet, how about I teach you an introductory sealing technique for our Uzumaki clan, and you can also test your sealing technique talent.
If you learn it in one day, you are a genius in the sealing arts. You have the talent in the sealing arts in a week. If it takes more than a month, it is not recommended to waste time on the sealing arts. "Kushina said.
"How long did it take for you to learn it, Kushina?" Mu Yue asked while heating the oil in the pot.
“One day.” Kushina replied proudly, and she waited for Muyue to ask.
“Then you are not a genius in the sealing technique.” Mu Yue praised.
“Generally speaking, that is to say, we have learned most of the sealing techniques of our Uzumaki clan.” Kushina said normally, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could no longer be controlled.
After dinner, Kushina handed Mu Yue a scroll, and then went to wash the dishes, with Minato explaining 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 that blocks chakra very quickly. However, the binding strength is not strong and it is easy to break. It has no practical significance. It is generally only used for entry-level practice." Minato explained.
I don’t know whether it’s because Minato has a high level of sealing skills and gives lectures, or because Mu Yue has a talent for sealing skills. He feels that this one-finger seal seems quite simple?
Mu Yue did not show this aspect, but only asked questions from time to time.
…
On Monday, Gangzitie went to the ninja school early. Seeing that Izumo Shenyue had not yet arrived, he nodded with satisfaction. He put a novel on the table and started reading.
After feeling that Shenyue Izumo was about to arrive, Gangzitie put the textbook away, leaving only the novel on it.
"Zitie, didn't you say you don't need to review? Why did you come here to read so early?" Shenyue Izumo, who studied until one o'clock in the morning last night, asked in surprise.
Gang Zitie raised the novel in his hand and said, "There's no need to review it. This is a new ninja novel that was published recently. It's really good."
Shenyue Izumo looked at the cover pattern and the title of the book and then felt relieved and said with a smile:
“Reading novels to relax is really a good choice.”
"It turns out that Ziti likes to read novels. I will buy a best-selling novel for him tomorrow and let him read novels for two weeks." Shenyue Izumo thought to himself.
He felt that his number one position was becoming more and more stable.
"Izumo, why do you look so lethargic? You don't know how to stay up late to study. This is not good for your health and is not conducive to the exam." Gangzitie asked with a concerned look on his face.
"No, I was playing games with my cousin last night and forgot the time, so I didn't go to bed until very late." Shenyue Izumo said with a natural expression.
"Playing games to relax, that's not bad." Gang Zitie smiled, feeling that his number one position was getting more and more stable.
It’s good that he likes to play games. He decided to ask more about various games after school, and tried to let Shenyue Izumo play various games every day for two weeks.
“What novel or game?” Hongdou entered the classroom and became interested.
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are really important. Please read them.
