Food Wars: Live Broadcast in the Prison of Food

Chapter 49 Listening to the Voice of Ingredients
"Fried snake frog steak with vanilla and white wine——"

"Please taste——"

When it comes to cooking, Si Yingshi is meticulous.

He lifted the lid with graceful movements.

The blocked fragrance burst out completely, and the alluring fragrance rushed into the noses of Yang Che and Nakiri Senzaemon.

On the exquisite white porcelain plate, a piece of frog steak drizzled with brown-red sauce is displayed like a work of art, shining with an attractive luster under the light. Freshly chopped herbs are scattered on it like stars, exuding a faint aroma of vanilla and lemon.

All around, green seasonal vegetables are dotted around the snake frog rows, asparagus is standing tall, and carrot slices are blooming like petals.

This dish is visually pleasing to the eye.

Yang Che couldn't wait to pick up the knife.

Incredibly, it was as if what was being cut was not meat, but a piece of jelly. It was as if there was no obstruction and the meat was cut off without much effort.

When cutting, the other half of the meat, which was fixed with a knife and fork, even shook slightly like jelly.

"So soft!"

“Why is it so soft?”

On the side, Soma Yukihira, who had quietly come to Yang Che's side at some point and observed the dish, was pulling his chin and thinking.

"Are you talking about this? Actually, I put in chopped herbs and garlic cloves, let the seasoning evenly cover the snake frog meat, and continue massaging for more than 30 minutes, so that it can be marinated and tender at the same time."

“Then cover the meat with a pot after it’s simmered and removed from the heat, and let it rest.”

"This way, the heat in the pot will not be able to dissipate and will gradually penetrate into the meat."

"This way the inside of the meat will be penetrated more thoroughly!"

"I didn't expect it to get to this point at first, but because it felt right, I did it."

When facing problems related to cooking, Si Yingshi does not get nervous or afraid as usual. If there is anything he is not worried about, it is his confidence in his cooking skills.

In response to Soma Yukihira's questions, he explained patiently.

Yang Che put a small piece of snake frog meat into his mouth.

The meat melts like water the moment it enters your mouth!

The delicate and tender taste fills the throat and tongue, the deliciousness of the snake frog and the mellowness of the white wine blend perfectly, and the fragrance of the vegetables adds a natural flavor to this dish.

Even though I had just eaten a plate of Soma Yukihira's meat dish, I never felt sick of this dish with the same main ingredients, and I enjoyed it more and more.

This dish of fried snake frog steak with vanilla and white wine completely crushed Soma Yukihira's special French snake frog legs.

After eating a few bites of meat, Yang Che felt unsatisfied and without even bothering to use the knife and fork, he directly picked up the whole piece of meat and put it into his mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls.

For their appetite as food hunters, this portion was far too small.

When eating, people often don't care about table manners and just eat whatever makes them comfortable.

"Good! Excellent food, very good!"

After eating, he looked at Si Yingshi and nodded with satisfaction.

Si Yingshi's dish gave Yang Che a big surprise. His treatment not only brought out the original flavor of the ingredients well but also went a step further. The combination of various ingredients brought out the tenderness and delicateness of the snake frog meat to almost the extreme!

Even compared with the signature dishes of some two-star restaurants in the food world he had eaten before, it was not inferior.

You know, those dishes and condiments also use various high-quality ingredients, which is much more advantageous than Si Yingshi who can only cook with snake frog meat!

In this situation, Si Yingshi can cook to this level.

It really brings out the flavor of the ingredients perfectly and does not disappoint the ingredients.

It really makes people have to admire it!

Yang Che stared at Si Yingshi with burning eyes. After finishing the dish, he recalled what he had just seen him do when he was cooking.

And recalling the performance of Eiji Tsukasa in the later part of the original work.

Said:

"You are the current number one in Totsuki, right? This dish is great, I like it very much!
"But there is one thing I am curious about."

"You were whispering to the ingredients while you were cooking just now, right?" "What's going on?"

"Are you communicating with the ingredients? Or can you hear the sounds of the ingredients?"

Although he felt it was not very likely, Yang Che still asked this question.

In the later part of the comics, it seems that the combat power has collapsed.

The original good food show was changed to be so awesome that super powers appeared. There are chefs who use super powers to cook.
Although it is unscientific
But now that he has really come to the world of Food Wars!, he has to consider the possibility of supernatural powers.

In the later part of the comics, during the Blue Competition.

Si Yingshi's own accumulation has allowed his cooking skills to evolve to the realm of supernatural powers.

——Talk to the ingredients!

Devote yourself fully to reach a state of selflessness, thereby communicating with the ingredients and maximizing their potential.

What is the realm of having a conversation with food?
Even among the prisoners of war, there were only a few chefs who could do it.

Although this kind of food conversation is not the same as the food conversation of the food prisoner whose food meaning has evolved.
"Huh? Talking to the ingredients?"

Soma Yukihira, who was standing by, was confused when he heard this and was full of questions.

How can this be?

Is Mr. Gu Yue sober and does he know what he is talking about?

He felt that what Yang Che said was simply a fantasy. How could a human being have a conversation with food?

Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Yang Che in surprise. Communicating with the ingredients is indeed an interesting idea. Si Eiji's cooking style is like completely eliminating his personal style, just to perfectly bring out the taste of the ingredients. Coupled with his complete dedication when cooking, some people have indeed said that he is simply communicating with the ingredients.

But I didn't expect Mr. Gu Yue to give the same evaluation, and he sounded very serious about it.

“Hey hey——did anyone hear me? This is so embarrassing——!”

When Si Yingshi heard this, he became as nervous as a frightened little rabbit.

After Yang Che finished eating the food, he switched back to his usual angry state.

But after listening to Yang Che's question, it turned out to be related to cooking.

He held his chin with his hand and fell silent. He felt very strange in his heart. Ever since he saw the ingredients from another world, he had a strange feeling. He had almost never experienced this feeling before.

After thinking for a while, Si Yingshi organized his words and said:
"Well, how should I put this question?"

"It's just a feeling, a very strange feeling. After seeing the snake frog meat, I seem to be able to sense some information about him?"

"I can't really tell. It's like I can feel its emotions. I know it's weird to say that, but it's true."

“I’ve almost never experienced this feeling before.”

"I have only experienced this when I was fishing with Longdan in the wild and caught a ridiculously large bass."

"But the feeling at that time was not as clear as facing it now."

“Although it’s still a bit foggy.”

"I have to thank you for mentioning this, Mr. Gu Yue."

"It seems that the news on the Internet is true. The ingredients from another world can really strengthen the body."

"When I tried the snake frog meat just now, I could feel that there was indeed an inexplicable energy strengthening my body."

“That’s when the feeling became clearer.”

“I understand what it means better. It’s hard to describe, it’s like the ingredients are telling me how to handle it.”

“It’s a wonderful experience. This dish is made in this way.”

Feeling the emotions of food? Is this really possible? It sounds like a supernatural power in a movie.

Soma Yukihira was a little skeptical. Is it really possible to do such a thing?

How can food ingredients have emotions of their own?

This was the first time that Nakiri Senzaemon had heard of such a thing. He looked at Si Eiji, not knowing what he was thinking.

I'm going to cheat in the Shokugeki no Soma world
