Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

The side dishes and seasonings are the same as those for normal spicy tofu, except for the addition of brown sugar, which is added to the soy milk made from black beans to make black tofu.

Everything is ready.

Li Yang first grinds the soy milk. After grinding the soybean milk and black bean milk, he puts them into the pot and boils them respectively. Then he uses the prepared brine to make tofu, and then puts it into a mold and presses it into shape.

of course.

There is an extra step in making black tofu, which is to add brown sugar to black bean milk. The originally grayish-blue soy milk immediately turns light brown.

"It's not dark enough... Never mind, let's try it first!"

Cut the formed white tofu and light brown tofu into cubes, and then cook them according to the normal cooking process of Mapo Tofu.

Soon, Li Yang's special magic panda tofu was completed.

"System rating!"

[Congratulations to the host for getting 66 points for your "Sweet and Spicy Two-Color Mapo Tofu"!]

I just barely passed!

"No...what's Sweet and Spicy Two-Tone Mapo Tofu? Don't change my name randomly, this is clearly Magic Panda Tofu!"

After protesting, Li Yang opened the lid and saw that the Mapo Tofu in the plate burst into a three-inch high culinary light.

Li Yang was mentally prepared, as this was his normal cooking level.

Three star chef!

This level is enough to make 99% of the chefs in the culinary world unable to match it, but for Li Yang, the magic panda tofu he made on a whim was indeed a failure.

After tasting this Mapo Tofu, Li Yang has confirmed that the numbness, spiciness, fragrance and hotness of this dish are all perfect, and the cooking time is also perfect.

"If I had to say the only drawback, it's that the color isn't good enough. The appearance of this mapo tofu isn't impressive enough!"

No wonder.

Li Yang has figured out the key.

"Since it's a panda color, it has to be distinctly black and white. Black tofu isn't dark enough, and I can't make this giant panda fade, right?"

"Also, since I'm going to make the magic panda tofu, I have to show the excitement of magic, let the audience (diners) feel the wonder, and make them unbelievable."

Li Yang has figured out the key to the magic trick of Panda Tofu: magic and pandas!

"Then let's try it the way the chef in the anime does it!"

First, prepare a special tofu mold and use tough thin wire to build a cross grid at the bottom.

Then spread a thin layer of lard, then put in the tofu pudding made from soybeans, and then spread another layer of lard, and put in the tofu pudding made from black beans.

When making black tofu pudding, Li Yang not only uses black beans and brown sugar, but also adds black sesame seeds and dried mulberries ground into powder, making the soy milk as dark as night.

that's it.

A layer of lard, a layer of soybean tofu pudding, another layer of lard, a layer of black bean tofu pudding, and so on.

Then, put the pre-fried Mapo sauce into the mold and seal all the ingredients.

Finally, carefully bake the mold over a flame to allow the lard to fully blend into the tofu.

This lard is also seasoned in advance.

Otherwise, when the tofu and mapo sauce are finally mixed together, the flavor will not be absorbed in a short time.

Li Yang used his super five senses to carefully feel the temperature in the mold, and when the time was right, he placed the mold into the plate that had been prepared.

There should have been a layer of fresh bamboo leaves on the plate to prevent the Mapo sauce from seeping out prematurely, but Li Yang didn't find any bamboo leaves. Instead, he found fresh bamboo shoots, so he broke off the fresh bamboo shoots, washed them, and put them on the plate.

"Then, the next step is to witness a miracle!"

With a sudden lift of the mold, a large block of black and white tofu appeared on the plate.

In an instant.

A black light and a white light, like two dragons, intertwined with each other, you in me and me in you, winding and rising towards the sky.

The intense heat turned into a pitch-black mist that began to spread rapidly to every corner of the villa.

The moment the cooking light appeared, Nakiri Senzaemon, who was far away on the fifth floor, suddenly woke up.

Taking one look at his torn pajamas, an unprecedented look of shock appeared on his face.

"Such a powerful culinary aura! How could such a powerful culinary aura suddenly bloom in this deserted and uninhabited forbidden area? It makes my food sense tremble!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Haoran next door was also awakened.

Then came Erina and Hisako... More and more people in the villa woke up from their sleep.

at this time.

Li Yang is looking at the system ratings.

[Congratulations to the owner for developing the glowing dish "Magic Panda Tofu"! 95 points!]

Chapter 26: The Snow Girl's Gift

"Only 95 points? It's just so-so. However, this dish still has the most crucial step to complete!"

Before Li Yang could finish showing off, an unexpected guest suddenly came to visit.

A hint of extreme chill quietly emerged, causing the temperature in the restaurant, which was originally over 20 degrees Celsius, to suddenly drop to zero degrees.

Then, Li Yang saw that there was one more person sitting opposite him.

A beautiful woman in white clothes and long flowing hair.

But her figure seemed to be there and not there, light and airy, like a ghost wandering in the world.

Li Yang suddenly looked up.

What he met were a pair of cold and lifeless eyes!

Snow girl!

Li Yang's heart was filled with alarm.

Damn, this is the true form of the Snow Girl’s Curse!

The snow girl who has a physique that attracts scumbags and has been betrayed by a thousand men!

Oh my god, why did she come to my house?

Li Yang did not dare to be careless. This snow girl could turn the entire Hokkaido into a world of ice and snow. She was definitely a big shot among the demon clan.

With the "Explosive Flame" skill he currently possesses and the ability to be full by eating a spirit crystal coin, he is simply not enough to fight against her.

Li Yang felt a little regretful. He didn't sleep in the middle of the night. He could just lie in bed and stare blankly. Why did he have to go out and hang around?

Did you run into a ghost?

Should!

But now is not the time to feel sorry for himself. Li Yang's super five senses once again played a key role. He keenly sensed that the snow girl in front of him was very interested in the magic panda mapo tofu he made.

There was a hint of eager joy mixed with curiosity.

For a moment, Li Yang felt at ease.

"So you were attracted here by this dish?"

The vengeful spirit of the Snow Girl seemed to still possess a trace of intelligence. She reluctantly took her eyes off the plate and tilted her head to glance at Li Yang.

Seeing this, Li Yang became more confident, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the Snow Girl with sincere eyes.

"Yes, this is the dish I made especially for you!"

at the same time.

After the people upstairs found that there was no one in Li Yang's room, they finally started going downstairs to look for him.

However, at the corner of the stairs between the second and third floors, Nakiri Senzaemon stopped everyone behind him.

"Everyone, be quiet... The Snow Girl is here!"

For a while.

Zhang Haoran, Erina, Hisako and others who were walking in front were all looking at the scene on the second floor in shock.

Everyone, including Senzaemon, was stunned.

"So, that strong cooking smell just now was actually Li Yang making the food?"

"Is this the right time to talk about this? The Snow Girl's vengeful spirit has come knocking on our door. Will Li Yang be in danger?"

"Look, Li Yang seems to be treating the Snow Girl with food!"

"Oh my god, could it be that the Snow Girl's ghost was attracted by Li Yang's cooking?"

Nakiri Senzaemon was trembling with excitement.

This is the first time!

This is the first time I see a snow girl being attracted by food!

In the past, he had offered sacrifices to the Snow Girl nine times, but he had never seen the Snow Girl appear. He only vaguely heard the Snow Girl's voice in the snowstorm.

even.

Even ten years ago, when Chef Liu Long personally cooked Sichuan-Chongqing hotpot to worship the Snow Girl, the Snow Girl's figure only flashed by in the blizzard.

And now.

It was clearly not time for the sacrifice yet, but the Snow Girl showed up on her own initiative.

What kind of dish did Li Yang cook that could arouse the Snow Girl's strong interest?

Everyone is curious about this.

Restaurant on the second floor.

Li Yang planned to treat the Snow Girl Ghost as an ordinary diner.

"You've arrived just in time, but there's still one last step before we can enjoy this delicious meal. Please wait a moment."

Li Yang quickly pulled out the bamboo shoots from the bottom of the plate, and the hot and spicy red mapo sauce oozed out from the bottom of the plate.

Simultaneously.

The black and white tofu, which originally looked like a whole, separated automatically and was evenly sprinkled into the boiling hot mapo sauce.

Then, Li Yang put a lid on the plate and lifted it up with both hands.

Saw this scene.

Erina, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, covered her mouth and exclaimed softly:

"Oh my god, how did he do that? A whole block of tofu was cut into pieces automatically, like magic!"

Senzaemon's focus was on black and white tofu.

"What kind of soybeans are used to make black tofu, and what's the point of doing it?"

"Also, did they put too much water in their mapo sauce? It feels a bit watery and should be simmered a little longer."

Those who knew how to cook at the scene were very curious about the magic panda mapo tofu made by Li Yang.

however.

There is still a key step in the magic panda mapo tofu.

Li Yang held the bottom of the plate with both hands and activated the "Explosive Flame" skill.

The hands quickly burst into high heat. This is the last and most critical step, which is to completely blend the flavor of the mapo sauce with the black and white tofu.

This is also the key to completing the last five points of the Magic Panda Mapo Tofu!

Under the high temperature, the mapo sauce in the plate shrinks rapidly, and the flavor begins to blend into the black and white tofu.

Because the plate was locked tightly with the lid, the flavor of the Mapo Tofu didn't leak out at all, not even a trace of heat was released.

"almost."

"Please try the magic panda mapo tofu I made especially for you!"

Li Yang suddenly opened the lid.
