Yukinoshita's Correction Method
The observer effect refers to the interference or influence that the act of observation itself has on the observed object or result.
When there are no bystanders, Yukino Yukinoshita can stop at any time and switch to a more suitable correction method.
When her older sister sees her, Yukino Yukinoshita must continue with the current corrective measures in order to avoid her sister misunderstanding that she is doing something else.
Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't care about other people's misunderstandings, but her older sister is different.
Haruno Yukinoshita will genuinely act based on the conclusions she draws, and this will genuinely affect Yukino Yukinoshita, causing her distress.
Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita must stick to her words and actions in order to avoid more trouble that may arise in the future.
"I saw it on the sink once," Yukino Yukinoshita recalled. "If you didn't put it away, it probably fell on the floor."
"I'll go look for them." Haruno Yukinoshita's gaze swept over the two of them, then she waved her hand and walked towards the corridor. "You two continue with your altercations. I hope nothing related to me happens."
"Just don't concern yourself with things that don't concern you." Yukino Yukinoshita calmly picked up a pen and paper, then turned to ask Dong Yunshan, "Are you still making chawanmushi?"
"Do it." Dong Yunshan twirled his fingers. "I feel there's still room for improvement."
"We'll add tamagoyaki too." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction. "You have a habit of exercising, so you need to supplement your protein intake."
"Then how about pumpkin and seafood chawanmushi?" Dong Yunshan calmed herself down. "As for dietary fiber and vitamins... spinach with white sesame seeds?"
"It helps prevent post-exercise cramps and edema after high-intensity training, and accelerates soft tissue repair." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered. "Are your kidneys healthy?"
Volume 4 is about to open: Chapter 150, Section 371, Chapter 2, A Smile of Relief, Section 91, Chapter 1, Chapter 1, Chapter 1, Chapter 1, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 91, Chapter...
"Huh?" Dong Yunshan was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
"Spinach is an excellent natural source of oxalic acid. When the concentration of oxalic acid is too high, it can easily crystallize and develop into kidney stones." Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze shifted slightly. "If you have kidney stones, you need to limit your intake of raw spinach."
"My health is the least of my worries," Dong Yunshan patted his lower back. "If you don't believe me... then don't believe me."
He didn't have any particularly good way to prove himself to Yukino Yukinoshita.
"You don't need to prove anything to me, just pay attention." Yukino Yukinoshita gave the menu one last check. "Dashi sauce application, knife skills, seasoning control, heat control, sauce balance, oil temperature control, frying order, ingredient preparation... Let's begin."
Yesterday, Dong Yunshan prepared a stock, enough for Angel. Debone and cut the mackerel into sections, rub with salt and marinate in the refrigerator. Debone and skin the chicken thighs, marinate with black pepper and salt. Blanch the spinach, squeeze dry and refrigerate. Dice the pumpkin. Marinate the shrimp and scallops with sake.
While steaming the pumpkin, I baked the fish, pan-fried the chicken legs, made tamagoyaki and fried tempura, and took some time to pour the egg mixture into a container and lined the bottom with the semi-cooked pumpkin.
1. Miso soup finished in five minutes. 2. Steamed egg topped with seafood and ginkgo nuts, then steamed again. 3. Chilled spinach mixed with sesame sauce. 4. Grilled fish, squeezed with lemon juice. 5. Teriyaki chicken donburi, plated and drizzled with sauce...
"Two hours." Yukino Yukinoshita stopped the timer. "The tempura was made faster than I expected. There's still room for improvement in the arrangement of the steps. Beginners don't need to overly pursue maximum efficiency; it will naturally improve with practice."
5. "No matter how many times you plan beforehand, you'll still inevitably feel flustered when you actually start cooking." Dong Yunshan looked at the dishes on the table. "I originally planned to finish in ninety minutes."
"Your main goal right now should be improving the taste rather than speed. As for the training afterwards..." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, "You'll have to adjust it yourself based on your own situation—let's eat."
"Mmm~" Haruno Yukinoshita came to the dining table, her nostrils flaring, "It smells so good~"
"Try it," Dong Yunshan said expectantly, looking at the two of them. "Let's test my learning results."
The caramel-colored chicken leg gleamed with an oily sheen, its aroma a blend of savory sauce and sizzling grilled flavor; each bite revealed a tender, juicy texture.
Yukino Yukinoshita carefully savored the sweet and salty balance of the teriyaki sauce, then looked up at Dong Yunshan: "Did you deliberately add more salt?"
"I'm used to a low-salt diet, and what's just right for me might be a bit bland for you." Dong Yunshan nodded. "So I added a little more. Is it not tasty?"
"I prefer it a little lighter, next time..." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, "It's delicious."
"I love this!" Haruno Yukinoshita picked up a piece of tempura, crunched it, and the translucent perilla leaves released a unique fragrance. "Oh no, what if I can't eat this anymore?"
"I learned all of this from Yukino," Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "You can have it anytime you want."
"Really?" Haruno Yukinoshita looked at her younger sister. "If I want to eat it..."
"I'll make it myself," Yukino Yukinoshita replied in a barely inflected voice.
"It's different~" Haruno Yukinoshita drawled, "It tastes the same, but other people's cooking always tastes better than mine—right?"
"Some people think their own version tastes better than others." Yukino Yukinoshita parted the distinct white flesh of the fish, savoring the mild, salty-savory flavor of the oil mixed with the lemony aroma. "This is influenced by personal psychological factors."
Haruno Yukinoshita tilted her head and looked at her younger sister. "So, do you think your cooking tastes better, or Shinonome's?"
"... That depends on who makes your food." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up, catching a glimpse of the expectation in Dong Yunshan's eyes, and pursed her cherry lips slightly, "They're all delicious."
Dong Yunshan asked with delight, "Is it as delicious as yours?"
"No." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly, "It tastes different from what I like."
Dong Yunshan's smile held a hint of satisfaction, "It seems I've succeeded."
The correction of Yukino Yukinoshita has been very effective.
Just as every dish tastes different, so too does success, and so does victory.
Once Yukino Yukinoshita recognizes this, she will be able to free herself from excessive perfectionism.
"I was going to say that your cooking skills have only just begun to improve, and are far from being successful." Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curled up slightly, the delicious taste of the dish lingering on her tongue, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes. "But now it seems that you have indeed succeeded."
The correction of the Dong Yunshan has yielded very good results.
Every dish tastes different. The key to improving your cooking skills is to improve your own abilities, not to replicate the taste of someone else's cooking.
Dong Yunshan's ability to recognize that different kinds of delicious food are also a form of success signifies that he has liberated himself from superficial formalism.
Through the gradually expanding thick barrier, a hint of worry flashed in Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes.
They were all content with the present moment.
But this satisfaction is limited to this moment.
If no action is taken, in the not-too-distant future, everything at this moment will become a phantom they neither want to remember nor want to forget.
If we don't make an effort now...
What will he do?
What should she do?
Many things haven't happened yet, but clues have already appeared.
Although her previous probing did not yield the results Haruno Yukinoshita desired, it did allow her to glimpse a clue.
No wonder Shizuka Hiratsuka said, "I won't cooperate with your actions, because I know how fleeting youth is. I also won't stop your actions, because I know Shinonome cherishes his youth."
This was exactly the result Haruno Yukinoshita wanted.
It's not about asking Shizuka Hiratsuka Shizuka Hiratsuka cooperate, but rather expressing the desire for her cooperation so that Shizuka Hiratsuka will take the initiative to offer not to interfere.
At that time, Haruno Yukinoshita was mainly concerned with Shizuka Hiratsuka's attitude.
I only noticed Dong Yunshan's attitude later.
His statement about "it depends on my mood" seems to be more than just an excuse.
It really depends on my mood.
What a willful little mouse!
Haruno Yukinoshita tries to savor the taste of the food.
Try to savor only the flavor of the dish.
I guess I just couldn't do it...
However, they are the same.
Because of the impending separation, they could not simply savor the taste of the food.
In Haruno Yukinoshita's view, this is a feeling they only occasionally experience now, but it will be a feeling they will become familiar with in the future.
"Oh, right." Dong Yunshan swallowed the food in her mouth, "After school starts, let's go back to that family restaurant we used to go to. After learning to cook, I feel that the taste there is quite unique. Let's see if we can replicate it."
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently. "Okay."
Volume 5, May Holiday: Chapter 151, The New Class
Class 2F.
After confirming her class on the class bulletin board, Dong Yunshan also noticed two familiar names.
Komachi Hikigaya, Yui Yuigahama.
What a coincidence... no, wait.
Upon seeing the name Shizuka Hiratsuka, Dong Yunshan felt that it might not be a coincidence.
If Yukino Yukinoshita in the International Liberal Arts Class, Yukino Yukinoshita might have been assigned to Class F.
All students gathered in the auditorium. The principal gave a brief speech, followed by brief remarks from the teachers, a student representative's speech, distribution of textbooks, confirmation of the course schedule, and completion of emergency contact forms...
It was almost noon when a large group of students finally sat down in the classroom.
Dong Yunshan sat in the back row by the window, but he preferred the seat by the door, as it was easier to skip class that way.
Shizuka Hiratsuka probably thought of this, which is why she arranged for him to sit by the window.
If it weren't for his outstanding height, Shizuka Hiratsuka might have kept him under her nose.
Komachi Hikigaya in the front row waved to Dong Yunshan with a cute smile.
Yui Yuigahama to him, then began to carefully observe her classmates.
In contrast, Komachi's observations were much more discreet.
Wearing a white Shizuka Hiratsuka stood in front of the podium, briefly explained some points to note, and then asked the students to introduce themselves.
Dong Yunshan's fingers moved swiftly, the ballpoint pen flying between his fingers as he considered today's menu.
According to Yukino Yukinoshita, without her supervision, Dong Yunshan needs to learn to consciously urge himself on and not be as careless as before.
You should make use of the habits you developed at Yukino Yukinoshita's house to maintain your passion for cooking and further improve your culinary skills.
To prevent Dong Yunshan from falling into disuse, Yukino Yukinoshita would periodically check his cooking skills.
Even though I've left Yukino Yukinoshita's house, I'll do my best as if I hadn't left...
Thinking of this, Dong Yunshan couldn't help but recall the time she left.
He left with Haruno Yukinoshita, and he thought that even if she didn't do anything, she would at least say something vague and ambiguous.
There was nothing there.
Dong Yunshan certainly didn't think she had already corrected Haruno Yukinoshita.
His brief encounter gave him some understanding of Haruno Yukinoshita.
She's just not taking action yet, but she will definitely take action eventually.
As for what kind of operation it was... Dong Yunshan didn't care.
Not to mention his spirit honed by countless trials in his past life and his body tempered by countless trials, he has no fear of Haruno Yukinoshita's methods.
Even if Haruno Yukinoshita has figured out a way to deal with him, there's no use in worrying about it now.
Maintain your own pace, and deal with whatever comes your way.
"Yui Yuigahama's hobbies are karaoke and cooking."
Wait a minute?
Dong Yunshan seemed to have heard something incredible.
Because of time constraints, each person's introduction was very short.
Soon it was the turn of the Dong Yunshan.
"Dong Yunshan," Dong Yunshan pulled up a chair and stood up, her well-maintained physique attracting many glances, "I like it..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka stared at Dong Yunshan, her fists visibly clenched.
"Fitness and cooking," Dong Yunshan smiled, ending her self-introduction.
Shizuka Hiratsuka breathed a sigh of relief. If Dong Yunshan had uttered any outrageous remarks like "I enjoy watching other people's miserable lives," she would have clenched her fists...
It's unreachable.
Scolding...
The checks have been strict lately.
By the way, Shizuka Hiratsuka has a great idea.
Tell Yukino Yukinoshita Yukino Yukinoshita teach him a lesson.
After the self-introductions, the election of class committee members will take place.
