Rebirth as a Cooking God

This is no ordinary ingredient.

Tamagawa Misa said with a sullen face: Listen carefully, it's burning!

I heard the sound of flames burning...

If these words had not come from Tamagawa Misa's mouth, Xia Yu would have turned around and left if it had been any other chef.

Burn? What do you mean?

Not only did Xia Yu not leave, but he rested his chin and thought seriously.

It's just burning!

In a matter-of-fact tone, Tamagawa Misa said: In other words, this puffer fish is of fire attribute!

Well?

After blinking and carefully observing the changes in Tamagawa Misa's expression, Xia Yu reluctantly accepted it after seeing that she always had a sullen face: Fire attribute? Do ingredients also have attributes?

some!

Tamagawa Misa frowned, seeming to be arranging words and thinking about how to explain.

Attributes!

Xia Yu paced twice in front of the kitchen counter with his hands behind his back, and suddenly slapped his forehead.

Fire, isn't it one of the five elements?

He suddenly thought of Kaiyou, the boss of the dark cooking world in Chinese Illustration.

Speaking of Kaiyou, we have to mention his unique skills——

Eight Demon-Breaking Arrays!

This is the ultimate dark recipe!

Tied with the ultimate recipe of the Chinese Ichiban Light System Mother Sun Ball!

The scariest thing about Eight Demon-Breaking Arrays is that it uses the five-element properties of food, supplemented by powerful qigong, to forcibly change the five-element laws and five-element combinations of food, creating a legendary creation that can control people's hearts and turn the tasters into walking zombies. Dark cuisine!

After finding information that could prove the existence of food attributes, Xia Yu was immediately convinced.

In fact, after studying medicinal diet and being familiar with pharmacology, Xia Yu also began to look at many ingredients from a medical perspective and gain a new perspective.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth.

Corresponds to the five internal organs in Chinese medicine: lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and spleen.

Simply put, they are fire heart, metal lung, wood liver, water kidney, and earth spleen.

Xia Yu can list many ingredients that correspond to heart and fire. For example, the most common ingredients that are rich in blood pressure lowering substances, strengthen blood vessels and promote blood circulation, include red peppers, carrots, tomatoes and other ingredients.

Understanding pharmacology and classifying ingredients according to their properties are the most basic things in the field of medicinal diet.

Therefore, from a pharmacological perspective, most fish are of wood or earth nature.

For example, Xia Yu’s understanding of common puffer fish is as follows:

Food has four properties: cold, hot, warm, and cool.

Pufferfish is warm in nature and belongs to the wood species.

Warming the body and dispersing cold, boosting yang and fire, activating blood circulation and unblocking meridians...

He shook his head and spoke coherently.

“What about the pufferfish that belongs to fire?”

A voice suddenly interrupted.

The voice came from behind. Xia Yu turned around in shock and found an unfamiliar old man.

She has long flowing white hair like a woman, and is wearing a men's kimono with a darker tone of navy blue, and a large haori, which actually looks like a blouse.

He folded his hands in front of his chest, naturally giving off a free and uninhibited temperament.

Grandpa Nuliang!

Tamagawa Misa exclaimed and quickly bowed ninety degrees, showing great respect for this uninvited guest.

Haha, Misa-chan, long time no see!

The old man finally moved his eyes away from Xia Yu and looked at Tamagawa Misa, with a face that still gave off a sense of handsomeness and a friendly smile written on it.

It's been a really long time!

Tamagawa Misa lowered her head and whispered: You left Kamakura probably when I was in my first year of junior high school.

Nodding, the old man obviously didn't like polite greetings. He went straight into the kitchen, picked up the pufferfish on the chopping board, looked left and right, and after a while he suddenly said: Hey, boy over there, use this pufferfish to cook me a delicious meal. of!

Who is this?

Boy, boy.

Xia Yu was very unhappy and said in a low voice: My name is Xia Yu, please call me by my name, thank you.

Well, Grandpa Nuliang, let me cook it for you! Tamagawa Misa raised her head and said cautiously, a trace of worry and anxiety flashed across her eyes when she glanced at Xia Yu.

This old man seems to be a heavyweight who cannot be messed with.

Although Misa-chan's favorite dishes are delicious, I still want to try this kid's - the old man slowly raised his hand, pointed at Xia Yu, and made an extremely abrupt provocation, What, I don't dare As long as you satisfy me, I will agree to whatever you ask for!

The old man waved his hand, pretending to be bold.

Xia Yu secretly rolled his eyes.

Sorry!

He answered stiffly, and at the same time said in his heart: I really don't like hard words!

Ayu...

Tamagawa Misa winked at him, her anxiety palpable.

But Xia Yu just chuckled twice.

It's not that I don't want to satisfy you, but it will take at least a day to deal with the puffer fish. Let's talk about it tomorrow!

With that said, Xia Yu took back the puffer fish, thought about it carefully, and decided to deal with it.

First remove the eyeballs.

This scene was a bit bloody. With one slash and one stab of the knife, without any extra movement, two fish-eye beads dripping with blood fell to the kitchen counter and rolled far away.

The fish eye was not broken, and the surrounding cysts were removed.

Wow——

Then, a knife bloomed like a pear blossom!

The sudden light was so dazzling that Tamagawa Misa was slightly startled and subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes.

Oh? The familiar old man shrank his pupils and said to himself in the voice he heard, ... Fierce Bull Blue Dragon Slash? So familiar!

With one slash of the knife, Xia Yu inserted one hand into the disembowelled pufferfish and grabbed out a large mass of internal organs with an expressionless expression.

The fishy smell spread in the kitchen.

Step three, remove the fins! Remove the gills!

If you are an ordinary chef, in this step, you have to use tools other than knives, such as scissors. After removing the gills, you also need to use scissors to cut off the flesh and blood attached to the internal bones. This is a very delicate process. If you miss a step, the puffer fish will be destroyed. When a big problem arises, nothing can be done carelessly.

As soon as Tamagawa Misa put down her palm, she saw Xia Yu slashing out two swords in a row.

Then, a few fins scattered out.

Looking at the puffer fish on the chopping board, the previously chubby body suddenly shrank and shriveled.

Another knife!

The pufferfish's tail was severed, and blood gurgled out of the port.

Bleeding is a very critical step in treating puffer fish. If it is a live fish, you can open an opening at the back of the head. This place is connected to the fish's blood vessels and arteries. A wire can be inserted directly into the tail. The live fish will drain out its blood during convulsions.

But there is nothing we can do about the dead fish.

Finally, the pufferfish's head and body separate.

The body has been dealt with at this point, but the head still needs to be cut open to remove the blood clots.

Very skilled!

The old man looked at Xia Yu's capable back, with deep admiration in his eyes, and said: It seems that he must often handle puffer fish and be good at a certain puffer fish recipe, otherwise he would not be so confident and calm. How can a novice chef learn to handle puffer fish? If you are not careful, you are afraid of making any mistakes. If you are careless, you will harm others and yourself, not only killing the diners, but also ruining your career as a chef!

yes!

Tamagawa Misa answered.

Ayu must have passed the special assessment of the IGO organization and already has a puffer fish chef qualification certificate! she said with certainty.

Puffer fish chef qualification certificate?

Xia Yu turned his back to the two of them and shrugged.

He doesn't have that kind of certificate.

So, before serving puffer fish dishes, he must taste it himself or give it to animals.

Children should not imitate.
