Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

In the past, when they took various cooking exams in school, the staff would prepare the necessary ingredients for them in advance.

If that doesn't work, you can buy it in a supermarket or market, or even call a food company to order it.

but now.

They actually asked them to go out into the wild to catch or pick food themselves?

We are chefs, not food hunters!

Li Yang looked at the dumbfounded Totsuki students, shook his head, and walked to the door first.

"It's only two hours. How long are you going to stay in a daze?"

Everyone looked at Li Yang with dull eyes, feeling that this ordinary boy looked so familiar.

But I was awakened by his words.

The students panicked instantly.

"Hey, is it starting now?"

"No way? I didn't even hear it clearly. If you don't speak louder, no one will be able to react!"

"Are you kidding me? Let us go out into the wild to find food ourselves?"

"Will there be snakes in that overgrown environment? I'm most afraid of snakes!"

"We must first investigate what kind of fish live in the nearby streams and rivers. If we catch an unfamiliar fish, it will be troublesome!"

"If we can find extraordinary ingredients, preferably those at level 1, we can basically secure victory, right?"

"Only two hours, too short!"

Li Yang strode out of the door and said loudly without looking back:

"Hey, how long are you guys going to hesitate? Why are you still standing here? Wouldn't it be better to go outside and see for yourself what ingredients are available?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

"Yeah, there's not enough time to begin with, why waste it here?"

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Go outside and see if there are any suitable ingredients!"

"I want to go fishing, but I have to find a fishing rod first..."

The students began to rush towards the door in panic.

Qian Hinatako stared blankly at Li Yang's departing back, opened his eyes slightly wide with curiosity, and a look of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"This student has a very good heart. Not only did he react instantly, he was also kind enough to remind other students."

"And what he just said makes a lot of sense. He seems more like a teacher than me... Yeah, it's decided. I'm going to pay close attention to what he's going to cook later."

"Talent like this must be measured by more stringent standards!"

A sinister smile appeared on Qian Hinatako's lips.

That’s why people say people with squinty eyes are monsters.

Li Yang didn't know that his extraordinary behavior had attracted the attention of Qian Hinatako.

He thought that his ordinary appearance had long been drowned in the crowd and would not attract any attention.

Yuanyue Resort covers an area of tens of thousands of acres. It not only has leisure places such as golf courses, amusement parks, and swimming pools, but also a huge ecological park.

The ecological park is divided into three parts. One part is an area for tourists to relax and have fun, where some harmless small animals live, similar to a zoo.

There is also a breeding area and a planting area, which is dedicated to providing some green organic ingredients for the Yuanyue Resort Hotel.

The last part of the ecological park is a completely simulated wilderness environment with various wild animals and plants.

However, in order to train Totsuki students, Shimado Gin sent people to clear out the deadly animals and plants in this part of the ecological park a month ago.

What Totsuki students have to do is to find suitable ingredients in this part of the ecological park.

Li Yangshi was the first person to arrive at the destination. He looked around and found that there were a lot of usable ingredients here.

Bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, shepherd's purse, alfalfa, mint... wild rice stems and water celery also grow by the stream.

There are also many meat ingredients to choose from, including fish from the river, chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, and even a few half-grown wild boars.

Li Yang also saw several extraordinary ingredients with a capture level of only level 1.

"The reason why Qian Hinatako proposed such a seemingly outrageous restriction is probably because she wanted to see if the Totsuki students could broaden their horizons in the face of unknown circumstances."

"If they panic and their vision becomes extremely narrow, then they will only focus on the river and the only food they see is fish, and ignore the other rich food here."

Li Yang thought about it.

"In that case, I'll just follow the crowd and cook a fish dish."

He had limited knowledge of Japanese cuisine, only knowing that Japan's traditional breakfast consisted of miso soup, rice, grilled fish, and pickles.

"Then let's make a grilled fish dish!"

Li Yang rolled up his trouser legs and jumped directly into the river, standing still like a statue.

A student who arrived later saw this scene and couldn't help but remind him:

"Hey, you won't be able to catch any fish like this. There are a lot of fishing rods in the tool room. It's much more convenient to fish with a fishing rod. You can catch fish in deep water."

"If you try to catch fish with your bare hands like this, you might only catch a few small fish. Besides, live fish have a layer of slippery mucus on their bodies, making them difficult to catch."

Li Yang smiled slightly and said softly:

"Thanks for the reminder, but I have a special skill for catching fish."

"The first thing is to merge yourself with nature, become one with your surroundings, and become like a stone or a water plant, so that the fish won't be afraid of you."

"The second point is to be familiar with the habits of fish."

"Third, the river should have abundant fish resources, with schools of fish even in shallow waters."

"The fourth and most important point is to have a little luck!"

Some people disagreed with Li Yang's theory, while others' eyes lit up and thought what he said made a lot of sense.

"Don't believe it. It's very difficult to catch fish with bare hands. If a person that big stands in the water, the fish are not stupid. How could they not notice it?"

"I think it makes sense. If you are familiar with the habits of fish, it is indeed easier to catch them."

"For example, carp prefer low-light, slow-flow environments. They mostly inhabit soft muddy bottoms and areas covered with aquatic plants, and usually feed on the bottom of the water."

"Crucian carp like to live in shallow river bays and lake coastal waters with dense aquatic plants."

"Black carp are bottom-water fish. Apart from foraging and basking in the sun, they rarely swim in shallow water. Those weighing over ten kilograms are even more reclusive, preferring to stay at the river bottom."

"Tsk, after all that talk, it makes perfect sense. Then why did you come back empty-handed the last time we went fishing?"

"Who are you to slander someone's innocence? Who said I was empty-handed? I clearly caught a giant grass carp weighing over five kilograms!"

"Hehe, it's a pity that it's off the hook."

"I was just unlucky! This classmate also said that catching fish requires a bit of luck!"

"Hey, that classmate from before?"

Two Totsuki students were arguing there. When they turned around, they found that Li Yang, who was originally standing in the river, had disappeared.

Take another closer look.

wrong!

He was still standing there, not moving at all!

If you are not paying attention, you will subconsciously ignore his existence.

The two students immediately remembered the first point Li Yang had just made.

Blend in with your surroundings!

"This student is quite capable, but I doubt he can actually catch..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Yang suddenly moved.

His hands turned into sharp claws, like an eagle in the sky discovering its prey on the ground. It fell from the sky at lightning speed, with its claws reaching into the water.

Snapped!Snapped!

Li Yang caught the two grass carps in his hands, threw them ashore in an instant, and then put his hands into the water again.

Two more blue carp were caught!

Then again, two more blue carp!

In just a short moment, Li Yang caught six black carps, each weighing about two kilograms.

The two students watching on the shore were stunned.

"No, is this okay?"

"He actually caught six bluefish in such a short time. I'd like to call him... a master fish catcher!"

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you just say that black carp like to stay in the lower waters? How did he catch six black carp in such a shallow place?"

"But as I said, black carp come to the surface to feed and bask in the sun... I can only say that person was incredibly lucky to have encountered a school of black carp basking in the sun."

"Ahhh, I envy him so much!"

"Black carp is the most delicious of the four major fish species and has been a premium food since ancient times. Its most delicious part is its powerful jaws and constantly wiggling tail!"

Li Yang used a very tough water plant to pierce the gills of the black carp, picked up six black carps, and looked at the two students with envious faces with a smile.

"Instead of envying the fish by the abyss, it is better to retreat and weave a net. You have such a good fishing rod in your hands, so go for it!"

"Besides, more than twenty minutes have passed. You don't have much time left."

Watching the two students busy fishing, Li Yang walked away with six grass carps.

"We've already decided to make grilled fish. Now we need to think carefully about how to cook these six fish."

Li Yang does not intend to follow the conventional routine, nor does he intend to go all out.

After all, if he really showed his strength, it would be a dimensionality reduction attack on the students of Totsuki.

So Li Yang decided to do something fancy.

"Since it's a grilled fish dish, and the ingredient is herring, what a coincidence! Let's make that herring dish!"

Li Yang thought of a very suitable grilled fish dish.

Tianxiong grilled herring!

From the Asian publication of "Leopard Head", one of the five tigers of the dark cooking world in the anime "Cooking Master Boy".

"It just so happens that I also have the "Explosive Flame" skill, so I should be able to replicate this delicious grilled fish dish!"

The "Tianxiong Grilled Herring" dish in Yakan requires the use of two major culinary techniques: "Tianxiong Exploding River" and "Tianxiong Flame Wheel".

among them.

"Tianxiong Explosive River" uses the "Explosive Flame" skill to ignite the river surface.

"Tianxiong Fire Wheel" uses iron chains to rotate at high speed to cut the flames for your own use.

Setting the entire river on fire just to cook a grilled fish dish is too exaggerated. Li Yang doesn't want to become an arsonist.

So, we have to think of another way.

And Li Yang didn't want to expose himself.

Returning to the cooking room, Li Yang was the first to come back.

He quickly cleaned the six herrings and used a kitchen knife to quickly make beautiful cuts on the fish...

Li Yang does not make random cuts on the black carp. Instead, he makes deep cuts, lightly touching the fish bones to ensure that the flavor can penetrate faster.

At the same time, all the knife cuts were made diagonally towards the fish head.

aside.

Although Qian Hinatako was quietly eating snacks, her attention was always on Li Yang.

I was a little surprised to see how skillfully he cleaned the black carp and how well he cut the carp.

"Is this the knife skill that Totsuki students can master now?"

"That's too good to be true, isn't it? He's even better than me!"
