Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

All the students looked at Li Yang in surprise and doubt, with envy, jealousy, curiosity and excitement in their eyes.

Are they going to witness the birth of a one-star chef?

Inui Hinatako was also startled by the light of the cooking.

She never imagined that the grilled herring in front of her was actually a one-star extraordinary dish!

Her originally lazy expression instantly became serious, and even her body became straight. She clasped her hands together, placed the chopsticks at the base of her thumb, and said sincerely:

“I will definitely savor this dish carefully!”

Feeling the tense atmosphere in the air, Li Yang sighed again.

I still can’t control my strength!

I should have added some more water.

Seeing him sighing there, the students around him exclaimed again.

"No way, judging from his expression, he seems a little dissatisfied with his grilled fish dish."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is too much! That's a one-star extraordinary dish, what else can he be dissatisfied with!"

"My biggest dream in life is to be a one-star chef!"

"I suddenly remembered a line from a Chinese lyric: Those who can't get what they want are always in turmoil, while those who are favored are fearless... Ahhhh, this guy is the lucky one favored by God!"

Qian Hinatako gently put the fish into her mouth and chewed it thoroughly.

The whole person suddenly trembled.

“The centrifugal force of the rotation allows the sauce and fish to fully blend together, giving it a rich flavor in a short period of time.”

"The sauce completely masks the unique earthy smell of river fish, but retains the freshness of the black carp..."

"But the most incredible thing is the heat. They used such a high fire, but the color is like they were roasted slowly over low heat."

"No matter where you start, the fish is tender and fall-off-the-bone, and the cooking is even and consistent!"

Qian Hinatako used chopsticks to gently poke the snow-white fish meat again, and the fish body actually spread out one by one like petals.

Seeing this scene, Qian Hinatako felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

That's right.

This is the "uniformity" of cooking temperature!

Only a master chef who has mastered the powerful skills of controlling the heat can enter this wonderful state!

Qian Hinatazi wanted to take another good look at Li Yang. How could such a skilled master be unknown in Totsuki Academy?

You're welcome to say that.

With this skill, it would be as easy as taking something out of a bag for this ordinary boy to become one of the top ten talents of Totsuki.

But she quickly looked away.

Being distracted at this moment would be a blasphemy to the dish "Tianxiong Grilled Herring"!

She must devote 100% to this dish!

He had said before that he couldn't eat so much grilled fish, but in the end he swallowed three grilled herrings.

Inui Hinatako patted her bulging belly contentedly, a happy expression appearing on her face.

Looking at Li Yang again, his gaze was no longer that of a teacher looking down on a student, but rather like he was looking at a peer.

"Student, your dish...Tianxiong Grilled Herring, full marks!"

"This perfect score isn't based on the standards of a first-year student at Totsuki, but rather on the standards of a chef at a restaurant, or even a one-star chef!"

"It's hard for me to imagine that such an outstanding student like you is not one of the Ten Outstanding Students of Totsuki, or even the leader."

“I’m very confused by this!”

Qian Hinatako's admiration for Li Yang once again shocked the surrounding students.

"What a joke! It's just a dish, and you dare to compare it with Senior Si Yingshi?"

"Why not! This classmate's grilled fish dish is a genuine one-star extraordinary dish!"

"That's right, this is a realm that even Senior Si Yingshi hasn't reached!"

"I never thought that our Totsuki still has such a genius hidden!"

"By the way, what's the name of this classmate who looks very familiar to me?"

Qian Hinatazi was also very curious about this.

"What's your name?"

Li Yang smiled slightly.

"I'm from China, my last name is Jia, and my given name is Tongxue. My name is Jia Tongxue."

"Jia Tongxue?"

Qian Hinatazi felt that the name was strange and difficult to pronounce, so she read it a few more times and nodded.

"I've got that in mind. I'll report your performance to Senior Shimado Gin and even Commander Nakiri."

"For a genius like you, there's absolutely no need to waste your time on this residential training."

……

The name "Jia Tongxue" suddenly became famous.

After Qian Hinatazi's class ended, the three words "Jia Tongxue" spread among all the Totsuki students at rocket speed.

After all, this is a hidden super genius!

The two-star chef Qian Hinatako personally confirmed that Jia Tongxue has the level of a one-star chef.

He is the only one among all the students in Totsuki Academy who has reached the level of a one-star chef!

even.

The process of Li Yang cooking "Tianxiong Grilled Green Carp" that day was also widely circulated, and even exaggerated.

The Ten Great Students of Totsuki searched frantically for this "Jia Tongxue" for two consecutive days, even checking all the files of the first-year students.

The result was nothing!

Si Yingshi is the most active one, after all, he is the first among the Ten Great Men of Totsuki.

As the best cook among all the students in school, he was surpassed by others without knowing anything!

After searching in vain, Si Yingshi even thought of withdrawing from the Ten Great Men of Totsuki.

For a while.

"Jia Tongxue" has become the most mysterious existence in Totsuki, and everyone in 273 wants to see who this classmate is.

The office of the chief culinary director of Totsuki Resort Hotel.

Shimado Gin looked at the ordinary boy in front of him with a helpless look on his face.

"Jia Tongxue...fake classmate, Li Huchu, you almost turned our Totsuki Academy upside down!"

"Earlier, Qian Hinata excitedly reported to me that she had discovered a student at Totsuki who had reached the level of a one-star chef. I didn't believe it... until she brought the Tianxiong grilled herring to me. I took a bite and was astounded."

"That kind of uniformity in heat can only be achieved by a master chef who has mastered superb heat control techniques. Not to mention that the students at Totsuki are far from capable of this, even outstanding graduates like Inui Hinatako and Shinomiya Kojiro can't achieve it!"

"I was saying at the time that this cooking technique had some influence from Chef Li Hu. I never expected that the Grilled Herring Tianxiong was truly a dish cooked by you, Chef Li Hu!"

Shimado Gin looked at Li Yang with a helpless smile.

"So, respected Lord Li Yang, what are you doing?"

Li Yang was a little embarrassed. It was a bit embarrassing for him to have his true identity revealed back then.

"I just want to get close to Totsuki's students. After all, only by investigating them in person can I know what they lack the most."

"After all, I'm a distinguished professor at Totsuki now. I can't just take the salary and do nothing, right?"

Shimado Gin instantly became interested.

"Then please tell me, what do Totsuki students lack the most?"

Li Yang pondered for a moment and slowly uttered two words.

“Knife skills!”

This was not because Li Yang spoke without thinking in a hurry. After observing for the past few days, he did find that the knife skills of Yuanyue students were average.

After all, most of them received Western culinary education, and at most added some Japanese cooking techniques.

I have much less exposure to Chinese cuisine.

however.

In Chinese cooking, knife skills are of paramount importance!

Balanced and consistent ingredients can better control the heat and taste, and it also looks more beautiful.

Although Western cuisine also requires knife skills, it is not as strict as Chinese cuisine.

After hearing Li Yang's explanation, Shimado Gin was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Then I wonder how Master Li Yang intends to teach his students about knife skills?"

Li Yang smiled, he already had an idea.

"I plan to teach them two dishes."

"What kind of food?"

"Vensi tofu and straw cucumber!"

Chapter 98: Interesting Egg Dishes! New Guests Come from Fairy Tail!

Wensi tofu!

Coir raincoat cucumber!

Of course, Shimado Gin knew the meaning of these two dishes, and they were quite a test of knife skills.

Wensi tofu, also known as "assorted tofu soup", is a traditional specialty of "Huaiyang cuisine", one of the eight major Chinese cuisines. It is made with strict selection of ingredients and fine knife skills. It is soft, tender and mellow, and melts in your mouth.

The ingredients for this dish are simple: soft tofu, winter bamboo shoots, chicken breast, ham, mushrooms, bok choy leaves and chicken broth.

The seasoning is also simple, just a little salt.

The real difficulty lies in the knife skills!

Soft tofu is as soft as pudding and will break or crack if you are not careful.

It is extremely difficult to cut a piece of tender tofu into strips thinner than a hair!

Another dish, the shredded cucumber, is just as difficult to cut.

Although cucumbers are not as easy to break as soft tofu, if you want to cut a cucumber that is only 30 centimeters long into one meter long, you need to cut it hundreds of times!

Extend the cucumber as long as possible.

Simultaneously.

Never cut the cucumber, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted!

Shimado Gin looked at Li Yang in amazement.

The two dishes chosen by Chef Li Hu are indeed the epitome of Chinese knife skills!

"Then I will also look forward to Mr. Li Yang's display of unparalleled swordsmanship... I was stunned when I saw you perform the Fierce Bull and Blue Dragon Slash before."

"By the way, Mr. Li Yang, are you going to pretend to be an ordinary student and participate in the residential training?"

"Recently, the mysterious Jia Tongxue has been listed as one of the ten unsolved mysteries of Totsuki Academy. Many students are eager to see who you are."

Li Yang sighed.

He just thought it was fun to do so, and on a whim, he asked Thor to cast a transformation spell on him.

But now... it seems like I've done something counterproductive!

"Why not just forget it? After all, we can't disturb other teachers' teaching plans."
