Chapter 173 Butter Cookies
Five or six minutes passed, and after the students had taken the materials and tied on their aprons, Teacher Dong Yi at the central operating table began to slowly make the food under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"When stirring, pay attention to the moisture of the batter, and set the oven temperature to 180 degrees." He did not forget to explain while making the batter.

"Okay, students, now you can start following the steps I taught you. If you don't understand anything, just raise your hand and ask me."

After Teacher Dong Yi put the prepared butter cookies into the oven, he clapped his hands and asked the students who were watching to start making them.

He also began to patrol their tables, and would give instructions when he saw irregularities in the workmanship. If he encountered some problems that he really couldn't solve, he would even help.

"Tsuna, please melt the refrigerated butter slices first."

Glass stood in the middle of the long table, reviewing Mr. Toi's operating steps in her mind while instructing Tsuna beside her.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Glass."

Glass raised her hand and patted his arm, wrinkling her nose at him.

Tsuna's mouth corners slightly raised, and he glanced at Nozomi, who looked like a chef, and then looked away.

As she said, I took the slightly hard butter, cut it into small pieces, and placed it in a glass bowl.

He remembered what Teacher Dong Yi had said: the butter only needs to be softened enough to be easily pressed into an indentation by one's fingers; it must not be allowed to melt into a liquid state.

"Tsuna, when did you learn these sword skills?"

While Nitro was still thinking about her next step, her eyes were unconsciously attracted by his superb knife skills.

She put on a disposable glove on her left hand, picked up the butter cubes in the glass bowl, and compared them one by one. It can be said that they are almost exactly the same size.

You know, Tsuna has never learned any cooking skills from Aunt Miyamura.

Although any newbie can use a knife to cut out these small pieces, the key point is that they are almost the same size, and the small differences are because they are a little melted.

Tsuna didn't stop what he was doing when he heard that, and casually said, "Maybe it's a natural talent?"

He didn't even intend to tell Glass that he had learned some basic knowledge in Hawaii in his previous life. Even if he told her, she wouldn't believe it anyway.

In more serious cases, she might even slap herself without hesitation.

Glass couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. His words seemed to be throwing away all her hard work of half a month and even spitting into it when he left.

Tsuna finished cutting the last bit of butter and put it into the glass bowl. He looked up and saw her still holding the butter block for comparison. He said helplessly:
"Teacher Nitro, don't be so shocked. I've already cut the butter. Have you figured out what to do next?"

"Of course I've thought about it." Glass put his hands on his hips proudly.

“So?”

Glass suddenly picked up the glass bowl on the table and put it against his neck before he could react.

The cold glass bowl suddenly touched the side of his neck, and Tsuna subconsciously shrank his neck.

"Use your body temperature to speed up the softening process first." She smiled playfully. "The book says this is 'human body heat conduction method'."

"..." Tsuna was speechless.

How is human body thermal conductivity used?

However, seeing that he did not resist at all and seemed to let herself do whatever she wanted, Glass took it away after a while.

She wished Tsuna was like this in his room...

It's a pity that when it's just her and Tsuna, she is often the one who suffers. Tsuna will only let her be like this when there are outsiders around.

Seeing that the butter was almost melted, Nitro said: "The next step is--"

"I've creamed the butter."

"Tsuna, please don't answer when the teacher is speaking, okay?" Glass glared at someone with her beautiful eyes.

"Okay, Mr. Glass." Tsuna raised his hands in agreement.

"Are you having any problems, Miyamura-kun?" "Teacher Toi, it's okay. My hands are just a little sore. I'm just raising them casually."

After he finished speaking, Tsuna waved his hands, trying to make his words seem more convincing.

"puff……"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Dong Yi withdrew his gaze and continued to instruct the students in front of him.

"Hurry up and continue making it, Teacher Glass...!" After the other party withdrew his gaze, Tsuna reached out without hesitation, pinched Glass's face, who was trying to hold back her laughter, and pulled it out.

"Pa..." Glass raised her hand and slapped away someone's dirty hands, rubbing her face with both hands, her tone muffled as she rubbed her face:
"Tsuna-kun, this is your first class warning. If you do it again..."

After he finished speaking, he loosened his hands, stood on tiptoe, and bared his big white teeth at him threateningly.

"Okay, okay, let's continue, otherwise we will fall behind others."

Tsuna ignored her silly look, took the glass bowl and poured it into a semicircular iron basin, then poured in the measured amount of powdered sugar, salt, vanilla extract and egg yolks.

"Let me take the next step, otherwise I won't feel like I'm involved at all." Glass stopped him from taking the next step.

She originally thought that she would be the one to lead Tsuna to success and gain his admiring gaze.

But she never expected that if she didn't try to find something to do, she felt that Tsuna could handle it all by himself...

When she was going back, she asked Aunt Miyamura if Tsuna had secretly learned something from her...

"Yeah." Tsuna nodded.

"You hold this iron basin in place, and I'll take care of them."

Upon hearing this, Tsuna didn't say anything. He silently fixed the iron basin on the table with his hands, while Nozomi took the electric whisk and began to stir the ingredients inside at a low speed.

She remembered using an electric whisk to beat the egg at low speed until it turned white and expanded in volume, then sifting in the low-gluten flour and using a spatula to mix by cutting and stirring until there was no dry powder.

Also avoid excessive kneading during the process to prevent tendons from forming.

After planning the steps in her mind, she started to work, and Tsuna was forced to clean the dirty glass bowls, knives and the like.

"Ding!"

As a 'ding' sound rang out in the originally quiet baking classroom, everyone smelled the milky aroma coming from the oven.

The smell also gave them psychological encouragement, causing them to speed up their work.

The same goes for Nozomi-san. She can't wait to let Tsuna eat the butter cookies she made herself.

Miyamura Tsunayoshi: You just ignored my initial contribution! ?

Then, Glass put the dough into a piping bag, covered the baking tray with greaseproof paper, and used a medium-sized eight-toothed nozzle to squeeze out cookie shapes, while keeping the spacing.

"It's done!" Glass threw the piping bag in her hand, which could no longer squeeze out any more, onto the table and looked at someone happily.

"awesome……"

Looking at her face that looked like she was begging for praise, Tsuna raised his hands and clapped silently, without repeating the words of praise he said.

"Okay, okay." The more Glass listened, the more she felt like she was about to drift away, so she quickly raised her hand to stop him.

"Tsuna, I'll leave this last step to you."

"Okay, Mr. Glass."

Tsuna first walked to an oven and started preheating it.

If I remember correctly, the oven should be preheated to 160-170℃.
