Rebirth as a Cooking God

soul!

soul!

Give your food a soul!

When Xia Yu returned the cart to the courtyard, he was still thinking.

Fire Chilled Sea Bream is a recipe with a high degree of danger. The danger here refers to frostbite.

After the special assessment, he raised his cooking skill level from lv35 to lv36 and allocated 1 talent point gained to the cooking skill [Arhat Crystal Slash]. After maxing out this cooking skill, the completion level of Fire Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain There is no doubt that it will rise to another level.

But Xia Yu kept an eye on it.

There is only the second non-human judge now, so why did they choose Fresh Sea Bream which is highly dangerous and has a high chance of frostbite on the palms?

the reason is simple.

He felt he had found a loophole where he could cut corners.

The simplest evidence is that when Misa Tamagawa cooked miso soup ramen, the ramen she used was not handmade, but packaged instant ramen that is very common in supermarkets.

no doubt.

This kind of ramen is far inferior to handmade noodles. If outside Tamagawa-in, Tamagawa Misa might not be able to escape the fate of failure in any shokuji with such ingredients. The judges in the outside world, those gourmets and professional chefs, are unimaginably picky about ingredients and cannot tolerate a single flaw!

However, this kind of pasta with serious flaws was easily accepted by that weird old woman!

And suppress his ‘soul-soothing side’!

This is what caused Xia Yu to think deeply.

Perhaps, at Tamagawa-in, ingredients are not the key.

The artistic conception, or soul, of food is the key to satisfying non-human beings.

The guess needed to be confirmed, so Xia Yu finalized the recipe for Fire Chilled Sea Bream!

Ice?

The sound of wheels spread far away in the silent temple.

When Xia Yu walked out of the night, the remaining four judges, as well as Tamagawa Misa, who was already busy cooking at the kitchen counter, all cast surprised glances.

A new environment always brings surprises.

If Xia Yu took out a piece of ice in Xia's shop, the customers or interns would know what he was going to do next.

Not much explanation.

Move the ice cube onto the kitchen counter. This piece of ice is not big, about one meter square.

Taking out the [Wenqu Knife], Xia Yu concentrated on carving. His fine carving skills have made great progress compared to a month ago. It seems that he has vaguely incorporated the one knife meaning of [Fierce Ox and Blue Dragon Slash], just a few swords, swish, swish!

The stars flew by.

The knife was too clean and too fast, and the [Wenqu Knife] was small and small, and it only made a fleeting starburst in the night. Before the real light of the knife bloomed, the knife had already pierced into the ice.

Kakaka...

Soon, under the horrified gazes of the judges, Abbot Tamagawa, and Misa Tamagawa, a whole block of ice suddenly collapsed and disintegrated!

Big avalanche!

Blocks of ice fell off automatically, and finally, a rudimentary ice sculpture of a turtle appeared on the kitchen counter.

The cool moonlight fell on the courtyard.

In front of the young chef were scattered ice cubes, and the rudimentary black turtle raised its head high, as if it had some mysterious charm. The silver moonlight was flowing on its body, giving people a strong sense of aura. visual impact.

The kitchen counter opposite.

Tamagawa Misa's mouth opened and the cooking work on her hands stopped unconsciously.

She is also doing sashimi.

A large tuna whose head had been beheaded, leaving only the body, was placed on the chopping board in front of her. Moreover, Tamagawa Misa had already completed the work of scaling, gill removal, and deboning, and had stopped at the last slice. step.

There’s a reason tuna is called the king of sashimi.

What Tamagawa Misa chose was the most expensive bluefin tuna, and she only planned to cut off the fish meat from the belly of the tuna, close to the head, which is called the big belly.

The tuna meat in this position is tender, pink, and has the aroma of oil that melts in your mouth.

The two crashed again!

What is being served is surprisingly all sashimi and sashimi!

Therefore, after seeing Xia Yu carving an ice sculpture, he moved a large snapper to the kitchen table and carried out processes such as removing the head, scales, and fins. He also cut the fish body into three pieces and cut the big bones of the fish. Taking it away, Tamagawa Misa was even more shocked.

Are you planning to do sashimi too? she couldn't help but ask.

The four inhuman judges and Abbot Yuchuan also looked at the busy Xia Yu for a moment.

right!

Xia Yu smiled slightly, However, I like to call my cooking 'fish dumplings'!

Fish?

Tamagawa Misa tilted her head.

What a pity... Xia Yu then glanced at the judging panel and shook his head.

What's a pity?

The woman in red asked, seeing Xia Yu's various displeasures.

nothing!

With the intention of cutting corners, Xia Yu secretly smiled, and could only laugh at the fact that these ghosts were no longer good for food. He decided to focus on the artistic conception of cooking, that is, weaving the world of food with the heart of the kitchen and giving soul to the food.

This is something on a spiritual level.

Therefore, the skills of Fire Ice Sea Bream Mountain, such as sword skills, will be greatly reduced.

Even so, when Xia Yu replaced the [Wenqu Knife] and used the [Broken Jade Knife] to cut sashimi on the fly, there was still a hissing sound.

This sword skill!

Mr. Tanuki, who was at the first table, saw pieces of fish fillets as thin as strands, flying like snowflakes, landing on the back of the black turtle ice sculpture. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said secretly: Terrible! Kamakura used to have sword skills like this. A terrible chef? No, it’s hard to find even in Kanagawa!”

The fourth seat is empty.

The monk in the third seat and the long-haired judge holding a pipe in the fifth seat looked at each other sternly.

At the same time, in the darkness that Xia Yu couldn't see, there was also a group of spectators watching this private meal.

Is this guy really only sixteen years old? I think he is the reincarnation of a demon star!

Bah, bah, bah, what a demon star, what reincarnation!

It looks delicious, but I still want to eat Misa-chan's food! Her food can satisfy our desires!

Whispers in the darkness, unknown to anyone.

Finish!

Putting down the [Broken Jade Sword], Xia Yu looked at the sashimi spread on a black turtle ice sculpture and nodded.

There is a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

The summer evening breeze blows over, the sweat evaporates, and a cool feeling spreads throughout the body. Xia Yu didn't bother wiping his sweat and steadily brought the entire ice sculpture to the table. Tamagawa Misa had been waiting for a long time. When she saw this, she said curiously:

Is this ice sculpture meant to lock in the 'freshness' of the fish fillets?

Well, it should be said that it is a magician's prop. It is indispensable. Without it, the time freezing magic will be missing the key casting materials! Xia Yu said in a confusing way.

Huh!

After saying that, Xia Yu glanced at the transparent ice plate in her hand.

The plate was also filled with ice cubes.

The strange thing is that pieces of pink tuna sashimi are placed on the ice, with a green leaf attached to the back, which suddenly enriches the color of the ice plate.

The wind brings a fresh smell, the fragrance of lemon!

Xia Yu looked away, then revealed a look of understanding. It turned out that there was a thin slice of lemon sandwiched between the leaves and the fish fillets, which could easily be ignored.

Lemon and seafood are a perfect match!
