Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

Although Nakiri Senzaemon was extremely excited in his heart, he appeared calm on the surface. He secretly glanced at Zhang Haoran next to him, and when he saw that he didn't react, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Lao Zhang doesn't understand the ins and outs of this, so I still have a chance!"

Li Yang looked at the exploding Bull Soybean on the table and asked doubtfully, "So, have I successfully subdued the Bull Soybean?"

"Of course not!"

Nakiri Senzaemon lied with his eyes wide open, "I asked you to tame the Bull Soybean so that you could cook it as you pleased, but now that it's in this state, can you still use it to cook?"

Li Yang shook his head. This pile of soybeans had already turned into popcorn and had completely lost its value as a dish.

Nakiri Senzaemon nodded. "Yes, you failed, but don't be discouraged. If you try a few more times, you should be able to succeed..."

"It seems your potential is not as good as mine. Back then, I succeeded in subduing the Bull Doudou in one try."

"Now I am already a Lin-level chef... and your future is only slightly worse than mine."

Nakiri Senzaemon made the shape of the universe with his index finger and thumb.

"How about this, Erina? Bring Li Yang to your place. You have complete kitchen equipment there. I'll have someone deliver the ingredients for making Magic Mapo Tofu."

"You young people should communicate well!"

Erina blushed and pulled Li Yang away.

Although she also lives in the Nakiri Manor, she has a villa of her own and lives with Hisako on weekdays.

Zhang Haoran looked at Nakiri Senzaemon suspiciously.

"General Nakiri, I have a feeling you deliberately sent Li Yang away..."

"Also, did Li Yang really fail to subdue the Bull Dadou just now?"

"of course!"

Nakiri Senzaemon tried hard to appear righteous.

"Don't you see these barbarian soybeans have exploded? They're no longer worth cooking."

"So, from what I know, the stronger a chef's food sense is, the higher his culinary talent is."

"Li Yang failed to subdue the Bull Dadou, which means his culinary talent is limited. In the future, becoming a Lin-level chef may be his ultimate goal..."

Nakiri Senzaemon told lies without any twitching of his eyes or panic.

Zhang Haoran seemed to be lost in thought.

Doesn’t Li Yang have the potential to become a dragon-level chef?

Did chef Liu Long choose the wrong person?

Seeing Nakiri Senzaemon's indifferent expression, he suddenly smiled:

"That's good. Since Commander Nakiri looks down on Li Yang, I will take him back immediately after the Snow Girl's curse is resolved. I will never let him get in your way!"

Now Nakiri Senzaemon was very anxious.

No, why don't you play by the rules?

"President Zhang, there's no rush. We at Yuanyue Academy have a large number of students who are the same age as Li Yang and have good cooking skills. Let them interact with each other for a few days. There's no rush to resolve the Snow Girl's curse..."

"Sure enough!"

Zhang Haoran saw that his casual trick made Nakiri Senzaemon panic. He understood very well that things were not as he said.

Li Yang is not only a genius, but also a genius among geniuses!

"Senzaemon, you're such a jerk!"

"Don't even think about stealing my Chinese culinary genius... If you dare to do these little tricks again, I will take Li Yang away immediately!"

Nakiri Senzaemon immediately comforted Zhang Haoran.

"No, no, no, President Zhang, we are old friends. Please stay here for a while."

On the other side.

When he arrived at Erina's kitchen, Li Yang reduced his strength and easily subdued the bull Dou Da.

Then use the prepared braising soup to stew the Manniu soybeans, soak them in the sauce and then fry them in high temperature oil.

Then use the fried braised beef and soybeans as minced meat to cook a magical Mapo Tofu.

[Congratulations to the owner for making Magical Mapo Tofu and achieving 100 points!]

[Reward: Phoenix Crystal]

Chapter 23: A Billion-Dollar Mission, Spirit Crystal Coins

"Phoenix Crystal?"

Li Yang was stunned when he saw the full score reward.

The main ingredient of this dish is bean sprouts, specifically mung bean sprouts. Mung beans have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and the phoenix symbolizes rebirth from the ashes.

"So, the effect of this Phoenix Crystal should be very interesting!"

Li Yang was very interested in this.

However, now is not the time to study the Phoenix Crystal. We should focus on the perfect magical Mapo Tofu.

Looking at the only two diners in the kitchen, Erina and Hisako, Li Yang placed the magical mapo tofu he had just made in front of them.

"Please try my special Bull Soybean Magic Mapo Tofu!"

Erina couldn't wait to lift the lid, and instantly a red light shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption.

The heat wave rolled in, and the scorching atmosphere caused the temperature around them to rise rapidly. Sweat instantly broke out on Erina and Hisako's foreheads.

The whole person seemed to have fallen into the water, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to her body, showing off her beautiful and graceful figure.

But the two of them completely ignored themselves and presented themselves in front of Li Yang without reservation, their eyes fixed on the hot and spicy magical mapo tofu on the plate.

The hot smell stimulated their taste buds crazily, their saliva was secreted wantonly, and they couldn't wait to suppress it with food.

Erina could no longer suppress her restless divine tongue, and immediately grabbed a spoon and stuffed a full mouthful of the magical mapo tofu.

Yeah ~

A scream.

The magical Mapo Tofu's perfect six flavors instantly conquered the proud and picky tongue of God.

At this moment, Erina felt like she was in boiling magma. She was the goddess who controlled the fire, the elf who could play freely in the fire, and the queen who could command the fire!

bang~

Erina's clothes were destroyed once again.

The clothes are torn!

But this time it's even more incredible.

Erina's body was an alluring red color, as if she had just taken a bath. Her skin was tender and smooth, but her body temperature was astonishing, burning big holes in her clothes.

Before long, her clothes were burned to only a few pitiful strips of cloth.

The beautiful scenery is revealed once again!

On the other side.

Feishazi's situation was not much better. Although her clothes were not torn, the sweat that fell like a rainstorm made her clothes transparent, adding a bit of spring-like vitality.

A few minutes later.

The two people broke free from the illusion of delicious food and burst into screams beyond imagination.

Watching the two women fleeing back to the bedroom in panic, Li Yang whistled calmly and took the remaining magic mapo tofu to Senzaemon and Zhang Haoran to try.

After tasting the perfect magical mapo tofu, Senzaemon immediately became excited.

The Nakiri family's ragged clothes have come again.

Senzaemon was even more direct, all his clothes were blown to pieces, leaving him naked.

Fortunately, the old man was prepared and simply pulled a blanket over him and put it on.

“Perfect tofu dishes, perfect spicy dishes…no flaws!”

"I believe this fiery flavor can definitely counteract the Snow Girl's icy resentment!"

"If we add the perfect golden fried rice, maybe we can really completely break the Snow Girl's curse!"

Senzaemon was extremely excited.

His previous plan was that it would be a blessing if Li Yang's two extraordinary dishes could achieve the same effect as Liu Longchu's Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot.

Suppressing the range of the Snow Girl's curse to within a hundred miles would be a huge success!

But just now.

After tasting the perfect magical mapo tofu, Senzaemon had a premonition.

Maybe this time, the Snow Girl's curse can be solved once and for all!

aside.

Zhang Haoran became much calmer. He looked at Senzaemon's excited expression and smiled slightly.

"Commander Nakiri, are you satisfied with Li Yang's magical mapo tofu?"

"Satisfied, so satisfied."

"Well, then, as Mr. Li Yang's exclusive agent, I will discuss with you the remuneration for hiring Mr. Li Yang to complete the task..."

At this time, Zhang Haoran had changed his appearance and looked like a professional manager.

Li Yang was stunned. "What is an exclusive agent?"

Zhang Haoran explained: "Every chef above five stars will be assigned a dedicated agent at our IGO International Gourmet Agency."

"This agent is like your secretary and assistant, and can provide you with all-round help in both life and work."

"Your exclusive agent will do their best to meet all your legal requests."

"For example, this time..."

"General Nakiri wants you to resolve the Snow Woman's curse. The normal procedure is for the relevant departments in Japan to issue a bounty to the IGO."

"Neon specifically wants you to complete the mission, so the reward should be increased as much as possible."

"As far as I know, the Snow Woman's curse has severely impacted agriculture, industry, and tourism in the heart of Hokkaido, resulting in losses exceeding one billion US dollars annually."

"So, the reward for this mission should be based on one billion US dollars, and then increased by 30% to 50%!"

Li Yang was shocked when he heard this.

"So, I can get paid between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion?"

Holy crap, do extraordinary chefs make this much money?

This is more than what many large companies earn!

Zhang Haoran winked at Li Yang, "Don't forget, I, your exclusive agent, will get a share of the profits. The usual practice is 10%."

That’s a lot!

Definitely over a billion dollars!

Li Yang couldn't imagine how he would spend such a huge fortune.

aside.

Senzaemon nodded slowly.

"We should indeed follow the rules. I will contact the government and ask them to prepare 15,000 Spirit Crystal Coins."

Li Yang was stunned again.

"What are Spirit Crystal Coins?"

Zhang Haoran snapped his fingers, and a transparent coin appeared in his hand, about the size of a one-yuan coin.

"This is the Spirit Crystal Coin. It's similar to the Spirit Stones in fantasy novels. It contains a neutral and peaceful energy that can quickly replenish the strength consumed by Transcendents. It's the exclusive currency in the Transcendent community."

Li Yang said it was an eye-opener.
