Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

"what?"

Mirajane was struck by lightning, and stood there in shock, looking at Li Yang.

Chapter 100: Gold Smiles! Zhao Li, you useless little piece of trash!

Mirajane looked at Li Yang in disbelief, her eyes flashing with confusion caused by the powerful mental shock.

"Mr. Li Yang, I don't quite understand what you said just now. What do you mean by news about Lisanna?"

She was very panicked, her mind was in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts were flying around.

Mirajane even had an unrealistic and outrageous idea in her mind.

Is it...

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Lisanna was so weak at that time, how could she possibly resist the Beast King's Soul that went berserk?

For a while.

Mirajane looked at Li Yang helplessly, eager to know the answer from him.

Li Yang asked in return, "Miss Mirajane, would you like to stay and taste my cooking?"

aside.

Thor complained, "Master Li Yang, this isn't a black market. Isn't it a bit like forcing someone to buy something?"

"Besides, the food you make is so delicious, it's not like no one else is eating it, why do you have to let Miss Mirajane taste it?"

Li Yang sighed and gently pinched the tip of Thor's nose as a punishment.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just feel that the dish is very suitable for Miss Mirajane now. Maybe it can help her recover her magic power!"

He actually felt a little guilty.

Because Li Yang also wants to conquer Mirajane's heart and stomach through cooking and get a reward.

After all, there are a lot of good things in the world of "Fairy Tail".

But his intention to help Mirajane is also genuine!

Thor curled his lips and complained quietly:

"Master Li Yang, please stop unleashing your charm on insignificant women... If you keep going like this, I won't be able to defend myself."

Li Yang looked at Mirajane and explained:

"Although my request is a bit forced, I can assure you that I really want to help you."

"Because the dish I'm about to make is really suitable for you. Maybe it can help you open your heart and regain your magic power."

Mirajane gave a wry smile.

"Actually, magic isn't necessary for me. What I really want is... the company of my family and friends."

Done.

She looked at Li Yang with longing on her face.

"Mr. Li Yang, you just mentioned the news about Lisanna..."

Li Yang smiled.

"That's good news!"

Mirajane's heart became even more confused, that extremely unreliable idea deeply occupied her heart, but she didn't dare to believe it, yet she held on to a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, then I'm willing to stay and taste Mr. Li Yang's cooking. Even if it's the most unpalatable thing in the world, I will eat it all without hesitation, leaving nothing behind!"

"I just hope Mr. Li Yang can keep his promise and tell me news about Lisanna after I finish eating!"

Mirajane looked ready to die.

Li Yang spread his hands helplessly.

It feels like shooting oneself in the foot.

"Alas, why should I do this? I'm clearly a good person doing good things, so why do I become like a villain?"

Kangna hugged Li Yang's legs and comforted him: "I believe that Master Li Yang must have good intentions..."

Then she looked at Mirajane seriously again, puffing up her face.

"The food made by Lord Li Yang is not bad at all, it is the most delicious thing in the world!"

Mirajane saw Kanna's angry look and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, I'm being rude. My mind is in a mess right now, so I didn't say anything I wanted to say. Mr. Li Yang..."

Li Yang waved his hands, feeling even more tired. He decided to use cooking to soothe his hurt mood.

He also needs some happiness now!

Li Yang flashed into the kitchen, his back to Mirajane. He turned around, a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face:

"What I want to tell you is... your sister Lisanna is still alive. This news is true!"

Mirajane was stunned.

Seeing Li Yang disappear behind the door curtain, she wanted to chase him immediately, but then stopped.

"No, now is not the time to disturb Mr. Li Yang... Lisanna is still alive! Lisanna is still alive!"

"Oh my God, this is such great news!"

Lisanna cried with joy, tears like pearls flowing from the corners of her eyes continuously.

Thor hurriedly found a clean tissue to wipe Mirajane's tears.

"Master Li Yang is really something. He made someone cry, but he just hid away."

Mirajane subconsciously defended Li Yang.

"Don't blame me. I couldn't control my emotions. I really didn't expect... Lisanna is still alive!"

"This is the best news I've heard in years!"

"I can't wait to go back and tell Elfman the good news... But I'm really looking forward to Mr. Li Yang's cooking, so I want to stay and savor the kind of food that makes people happy."

back kitchen.

Li Yang calmed down and the dish he planned to make was naturally the Golden Smile.

A fun and laugh-inducing bun dish!

The ingredients used are flour, beef and vermicelli.

Li Yang began to knead the dough.

The fermenting agent added to flour is not yeast, but sodium bicarbonate, also known as "baking soda", which will only react when heated.

Sodium bicarbonate will expand rapidly when heated, making the originally flat buns quickly become round and plump, and the cut cracks will open and turn into smiling mouths.

Next is to prepare the filling for the buns.

The fillings of the buns are mainly beef and vermicelli.

The beef is grilled as a whole piece to seal in the delicious juices from the steak before being cut into small pieces and wrapped in buns.

If you mince the beef, all the delicious flavor of the meat will be lost outside the bun.

The steak is fried in oil, which ensures that the juices from the beef are retained in the filling as much as possible.

Simultaneously.

Add vermicelli and use it to absorb the gravy oozing from the steak. This is the key to keeping the gravy completely inside the buns.

Li Yang made a few raw buns that looked a bit flat, and then cut a slit on the surface of the bun with a knife.

This opening is crucial.

When the hot oil seeps into the buns through the cracks, it tightly seals the meat pieces, the inner layer of the bun skin, and the outer layer of vermicelli, allowing the gravy absorbed by the vermicelli to remain completely inside.

At this time, the water evaporated from the buns will turn into steam and fill the inside of the buns.

Use the steam pressure to open the cracks in the buns.

Simultaneously.

Because sodium bicarbonate expands when heated, the originally flat buns will become round and plump.

The key to Baozi's laughter is...

The juices from the cutlet were absorbed by the vermicelli, turning the meat into dry and crispy pieces.

When the steam inside the buns convects violently, these crispy pieces of meat rotate continuously inside the hollow buns like steel balls in a bell, colliding with the bun skin and making crisp and hearty laughter.

After everything was prepared, Li Yang only had one last step to take.

Before frying the buns, he would spread a layer of egg yolk on the bun skin.

The purpose of doing this is to make the fried buns not only golden in color, but also more fragrant.

Late-night restaurant hall.

Mirajane was sitting at the counter, gently braiding Kanna's hair into different beautiful hairstyles to distract her.

Because she was very confused and had a thousand words to say to Li Yang.

Especially the news about my younger sister Lisanna.

She wished she could turn herself into a hundred thousand whys!

Sudden.

An enticing aroma wafted out from the kitchen, and Mirajane subconsciously sniffed.

My stomach, which originally had little appetite, suddenly started to growl.

Kanna exclaimed "Wow" and said "What a great sound."

Mirajane blushed and gently rubbed Kanna's soft cheek, looking a little bit sinister.

"Kanna-chan, you can't talk about girls like that!"

Kanna's face was distorted, and she said vaguely: "I'm... I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Mirajane looked towards the kitchen and said expectantly:

"What kind of food is Mr. Li Yang cooking? It smells so good!"

Kanna slurped her saliva and looked at Mirajane seriously.

"You just said that Master Li Yang's cooking is the most unpalatable in the world, wuwuwu..."

Mirajane covered Kanna's mouth with a wry smile and whispered in her ear:

"I've already apologized, Kanna-chan, you can't keep holding on to this matter... If you behave yourself and come next time, I'll bring you some delicious food from our world. How about that?"

Kanna's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded in agreement, then extended her little finger.

"Pull the hook!"

Mirajane curiously hooked her pinky finger with Kanna's.

"Is this okay?"

Kanna tugged at their hands while muttering:

"Hang yourself with a hook and don't change for a hundred years!"

Finally, two thumb prints, one big and one small, are placed together.

stamp!

Mirajane found this amusing.

"Have we fulfilled our vows?"

Kanna nodded seriously, "Agreed."

Mirajane smiled. Her smile was gentle, hanging lightly on her face, but there was no sound.
