Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

"Because this golden fried rice is perfect, it has no flaws, so you naturally can't taste any of its flaws."

"And this is why I say that Brother Li is qualified to be a Tiger-level chef... After all, even I can't cook such a perfect dish!"

hiss~

Chef Tang Hu and the other two five-star chefs gasped. They never expected that Chef Liu Long would give such a shocking answer.

A dish without any flaws?

Perfect dish?

Does this kind of food really exist in the world?

Even if a miracle happens and perfect food exists in the world, should it be made by humans?

and.

They all saw clearly the process of Li Yang cooking the golden fried rice just now. He had the leisurely feeling of strolling in the garden, and every step seemed to come naturally to him.

Doesn't this mean...

Can Li Yang batch-cook perfect golden fried rice?

As soon as this thought came up, Tang Huchu and the other two were even more shocked, feeling that their worldview was about to be shattered.

The three of them looked at Li Yang again, and there was a hint of awe in their curiosity.

This young man is extraordinary!

Liu Longchu also became interested. He looked at Li Yang with a smile and asked kindly:

"Brother Li, besides golden fried rice, do you have any other specialties? I happen to have some time, so we can discuss culinary skills."

hiss~

There was another sound of inhalation around.

Not only were Nakiri Senzaemon and Zhang Haoran stunned, but Chef Tang Hu and the other two five-star chefs were also filled with disbelief.

No... How could Li Yang be so worthy as to discuss cooking skills with a Dragon-level chef?

But then, they looked at Li Yang with envy.

If you can get guidance from Chef Liu Long, you will benefit from cooking for the rest of your life!

Before Li Yang could speak, Erina's voice suddenly rang out from the side:

"Grandpa Liu, Li Yang also knows how to make Magic Mapo Tofu. And it's the real thing, the six-flavor Magic Mapo Tofu!"

Erina had ended her state of enlightenment and walked lightly to Li Yang, staring at him with admiring eyes.

The super perfect golden fried rice made Erina extremely satisfied. As long as she remembered the taste, she would not be afraid of the huge side effects of the Divine Tongue.

Because every time God's Tongue tastes an imperfect dish, she can recall the beyond-perfect taste of Super 100% Golden Fried Rice to soothe the spiritual loss of taste buds.

It can be said.

Li Yang saved Erina's life.

How could she not admire Li Yang!

aside.

As soon as Erina finished speaking, Liu Longchu and Nakiri Senzaemon were shocked.

"What, Magic Mapo Tofu?"

Nakiri Senzaemon's attitude was even more excited than Liu Longchu's. While he was shocked, a strong hope burst out in his eyes.

It's like grabbing a lifeline.

Li Yang said modestly, "Those two kinds of Magic Mapo Tofu still have flaws. Erina and I have been trying to improve them these days, but there has been no progress."

hiss~

"Two kinds of magical mapo tofu?"

Liu Longchu's expression changed, as if he thought of something.

"I don't remember much about my father, but I vaguely remember my mother telling me about it."

"Back then, my father was competing with an opponent for control of Juxialou, and the cooking challenge given by the referee was Magic Mapo Tofu!"

"And the magical mapo tofu was a dish invented by my grandmother..."

Chu Liu Long looked at Li Yang with a slightly excited expression.

"Could it be that the two kinds of magical mapo tofu you mentioned are referring to my father's and his opponent's respective magical mapo tofu?"

"I only know that they both have slightly different interpretations of the six flavors in one. Although both are "crispy," they express it in different ways!"

Chef Liu Long became increasingly excited as he spoke, and suddenly asked, "Brother Li, does the key word 'crisp' in the Six-Flavor Magic Mapo Tofu refer to the tofu?"

Li Yang shook his head.

Chu Liu Long clapped his hands suddenly, as excited as a little child.

"I knew that was the case!"

"I've tried more than a dozen different kinds of tofu, but I haven't been able to create a perfect six-flavor blend. So the key to the problem isn't the tofu, but rather..."

Chu Liu Long gestured to Li Yang, and they both gave the answer together.

"Ground meat!" x2

Hearing that Li Yang's answer was the same as his, Liu Longchu became even more excited, and looked at Li Yang as if he were looking at a close friend.

"Yes, it's ground meat!"

"I only figured this out in recent years, and I think the best substitute for ground beef is some kind of mushroom!"

"Because Juxialou is located in Sichuan, there are abundant wild game there. The best food to replace meat is mushrooms, such as Hericium erinaceus."

"Unfortunately……"

Chef Liu Long shook his head regretfully, "I've tried dozens of different types of mushrooms from Sichuan, trying to replace ground beef, but I've never been able to achieve that perfect, six-flavor-in-one crispness!"

"So, Brother Li, what ingredients do you use instead of ground beef?"

Chapter 19: Thousand-year-old yeast, Nakiri Senzaemon's request

Chef Liu Long was very curious about what ingredients Li Yang used instead of ground beef to achieve the sixth taste of "crispness" required for the magical Mapo Tofu.

He himself has proven that using fungi instead of ground beef is a failure, but he can't think of any other ingredients that can replace ground beef.

"Brother Li, if you can truly create a balanced six-flavor magical mapo tofu, I have a small gift for you..."

As he spoke, Liu Longchu took out a small sachet from his pocket, opened it, and took out a small dough shaped like a tennis ball.

After seeing the small dough, Nakiri Senzaemon on the side was so shocked that he jumped to his feet.

"Uncle Liu, this is a treasure that has been passed down for nearly two thousand years. Three years ago, at an IGO auction, ten grams fetched one hundred million US dollars. Are you sure you want to give it to Li Yang?"

Nakiri Senzaemon's words made everyone present gasp in shock.

A super treasure worth 100 million US dollars per gram?

This dough must weigh at least 100 grams, so wouldn’t it be worth 10 billion US dollars?

Even Li Yang couldn't help but be surprised.

The small gift that Liu Longchu casually took out was actually so valuable?

Rich man, are you my friend?

Chef Liu Long smiled slightly: "Oh, this is just a good start, no need to make a fuss."

"The reason this little thing is valuable is simply because it's rare, but to me, it's not something particularly rare."

"If I didn't have so much time to prepare this thing, it wouldn't be so expensive."

aside.

Zhang Haoran was already rapidly searching his mind for information related to the dough.

Three years ago, at the IGO auction, ten grams were worth $100 million.

Combining several key words together, Zhang Haoran instantly recalled what the small dough in Chef Liu Long's hand was.

For a moment, Zhang Haoran's eyes widened and he asked in shock:

"Oh my god, could this be the old yeast that has been passed down for over 1,700 years by the once-powerful Bai Luo family?!"

Li Yang was stunned.

Bai Luo's old yeast?

Wow, isn’t this something passed down from the ancestors of Logan, the “Pastry King” of the dark cuisine world in the anime Cooking Master Boy?

No.

How did this thing end up in Liu Longchu's hands?

Chef Liu Long took a look at the old yeast in his hand and sighed.

"A hundred years ago, the last generation of the Bai Luo family responded to my father's call. He and my father's good friend, Master Jie, created a god-level pastry..."

"Unfortunately, with my father's failure in reaching the Divine Chef realm, the grand ceremony offering sacrifices to heaven and earth ultimately fell through, and all the Dragon Chefs who participated in it disappeared."

"That noodle king had no successor, so the Bai Luo family's heirloom, 'Shu Han Old Noodles,' finally came into my hands."

When everyone heard that the small dough in Chef Liu Long's hand was actually the famous "Millennium Shu Han Old Noodles", they could hardly take their eyes off the small dough.

This is a thousand-year-old yeast that can make any dough ferment quickly. It is a treasure for any pastry chef.

and.

Thousand-year-old yeast can also give pastries a softer taste and special aroma.

That is even more precious.

For a moment, even Nakiri Senzaemon, a top-level chef, looked at Li Yang with envy.

He knew very well that thousand-year-old yeast fertilizer could greatly enhance the quality of a pastry dish.

Even if you are a novice in cooking, with the thousand-year-old yeast, you can just knead it into the dough and steam out steamed buns with excellent taste and texture.

As for Chef Tang Hu and the two five-star chefs, their saliva was almost drooling at this moment.

"Brother Li, can the magical mapo tofu you make really achieve a balanced six flavors in one?"

Liu Longchu asked Li Yang again.

Li Yang smiled slightly: "Facts speak louder than words. Chef Liu Long, please wait a moment, you can reveal the answer yourself!"

After saying that, Li Yang slipped into the kitchen of the midnight canteen.

In just two minutes, he came out with a plate.

With the help of his super five senses and explosive flame skills, Li Yang can cook delicious dishes in a very short time by stir-frying over high heat.

and.

Thanks to the blessing of the explosive flame, the magical mapo tofu made by Li Yang this time has a system score of 97 points!

This is already the limit score.

If Li Yang wants to make another breakthrough, he must find a more suitable substitute for ground beef than soybeans.

When the lid is opened.

A red light more than ten feet long shot up into the sky.

At this moment, Liu Longchu's expectations have reached their peak.

Can’t be wrong!

This magical Mapo Tofu is definitely a shining dish created by my father, as it has such a large scale of culinary glory.

Without waiting for anyone else to make a move, Chef Liu Long quickly grabbed a spoon and stuffed a full bowl of Mapo Tofu into his mouth.

a long time.

Crystal clear tears slid down Liu Longchu's face, and he said in a dry voice:

"So this is the real magical Mapo Tofu. It's like a volcanic eruption, with magma carrying huge rocks down from the sky. The rocks are obviously extremely solid, but the moment they touch the ground, they bounce up and then turn into dust in mid-air..."
