People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Hmm... stew, I guess. But I don't know what else to eat. Do you have any recommendations, manager?"

Bai Yu tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Would you like some meat or vegetables? I'd recommend Chinese cuisine, because from what you said about peony cakes, I know you're from a world similar to this one, and Chinese pastries are definitely the perfect match for Chinese dishes~"

The girl's eyes lit up and she said, "Chinese cuisine?! In that case, I'd like to ask the manager for recommendations. If possible, I'd like to have some vegetarian dishes, since it's evening."

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Then please sit down. Would you two like something to drink in a moment?"

"Plum wine~"

"Strong liquor!"

Bai Yu glanced at the man, then at his knife. The man paused, brandished his knife, and said, "Boss, you seem quite interested in my knife?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "No, it's just that you mentioned the ship earlier, and the way you used the knife always reminds me of two people, two of my guests."

"Huh? Who is it? Maybe they're from the same world~"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "One is called Hawkeye, and the other is called Red-Haired Shanks..."

"Hawkeye?! Hawkeye Mihawk?!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "I think so. I feel like I've heard that name before. Are you from the same world? What a coincidence!"

The man said excitedly, "Of course! Hawkeye Mihawk! The world's strongest swordsman! And the man I want to surpass!"

Mai Shiranui, standing to the side, clapped her hands in surprise as she looked at the man. Lucifer did the same. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Hmm, not bad ambition. Well then, I wish you success!"

The man suddenly raised his fist and said, "Hey! Hawkeye ate here before, this place must be something special! Are you a great swordsman too?!"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm just a chef, um... I also do tennis and boxing matches on the side..."

When she heard that Bai Yu was a Kengan fighter, Mai Shiranui's eyes lit up. She didn't know what a Kengan was, but she knew what "ken" meant, so it must be a fighter similar to a combat sport.

The man paused for a moment, then continued energetically, "Then you must be a very strong guy!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's probably very strong. If you want to try, I, as a man, won't hold back."

The man stood up and said with a smile, "That's even better! Warriors and swordsmen alike should fight for real! My name is Zoro! Roronoa Zoro! You don't have a weapon, so I'll just use the back of a sword..."

"Evening time is precious, so go all out. But I'll only fight you once. There are other guests dining here. If you can block one move, you win."

Zoro was stunned for a moment, then bit a knife directly into his mouth. Mai Shiranui and Lucifer both watched this scene with expectant looks. It turns out that liking to watch a show is the nature of all species.

Zoro, biting his sword, said, "Since you put it that way, then let's go!"

Five seconds later, Mai Shiranui covered her mouth, looked at Zoro lying on the ground, and then looked at Bai Yu with shining eyes. The story was that Zoro had just rushed over, but was kicked away and probably couldn't get up.

As a trained martial artist, Mai Shiranui could naturally see just how fast and heavy that kick was, but such a powerful kick was clearly controlled. This shopkeeper is amazing!

This was Mai Shiranui's only impression of Shiraha. Lucifer, arms crossed, chuckled and said, "You really are the type to flick a woman's forehead but beat up a man like that..."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "The main thing is that the men who come here to fight are basically the kind of people who crave battle. They have to be beaten into submission, right, Mr. Zoro?"

"No wonder it's Hawkeye's shop! Shop owner, you're very capable!"

Bai Yu ignored Zoro's comment and instead spoke gently to Mai Shiranui and Zoro, "There was a slight mishap. Please wait a moment; the meal will be ready soon."

After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen. Zoro was still lying on the floor and showed no sign of getting up. Mai Shiranui, on the other hand, was looking at Bai Yu with shining eyes. It wasn't the kind of look that showed liking, but rather the kind of look that showed admiration for strength. Lucifer, however, twitched his lips and then thought to himself angrily, "How come this jerk has such good luck with women! That's too much!"

Chapter 127 Lucifer's Fantasy of Ninjas Shattered (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, if Zoro's eyes weren't still open, and if he weren't so wide open with an uncontrollable smile on his face, one might really think he was asleep.

Zoro was extremely excited at this moment. First, he came to the restaurant where his target had been, and he had also fought against a man of such strength. Whether swordsman or warrior, no one is afraid of failure, because failure will make them stronger.

Although he was defeated in an instant, it made him realize that he was still too weak. There were too many strong people in his world and other worlds. Thinking of this, he was full of motivation and his whole body was ignited.

Lucifer glanced at Zoro and then at Mai Shiranui. Mai Shiranui wasn't paying attention to Zoro at the moment; lying to the side didn't really matter. The important thing was that he went to challenge someone and got knocked down, yet he wouldn't get up.

Mai Shiranui found the clean, tidy, and cozy shop quite appealing, and she believed that no girl would dislike a clean and tidy room.

"Mmm~ It feels so warm and cozy~"

Lucifer looked at Mai Shiranui as if she was thinking about something. Suddenly, she thought of something, took out her phone and started searching. Then she looked at Mai Shiranui with shining eyes.

Mai Shiranui noticed Lucifer's gaze and was slightly taken aback. She looked down at herself and asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Lucifer shook his head repeatedly, but his eyes remained fixed on her. Mai Shiranui felt somewhat awkward seeing this beautiful, well-proportioned woman with such a strange look in her eyes...

Lucifer asked with some anticipation, "Are you wearing a ninja outfit?!"

Mai Shiranui breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out she had just realized what clothes she was wearing. Mai Shiranui nodded and said with some pride, "Yes! Because the Shiranui style is a ninjutsu style!"

Lucifer, the Queen of Hell, looked at him expectantly, just like an ordinary human girl, and said, "So, you know ninjutsu?!"

Mai Shiranui nodded and said, "Of course!"

Lucifer asked with some anticipation, "Is ninjutsu the kind of thing where you can disappear in a flash?!"

Mai Shiranui paused for a moment, then smiled and waved her hand, saying, "That's just a rumor~ There's no such thing. Ninjutsu is actually just a special kind of martial art, with various props added to it~" (Hokage: Huh? Oh....)

Lucifer, still somewhat unwilling to give up, asked, "Then... a clone technique?"

"You're hallucinating, aren't you?"

"What about the substitution technique?"

"It's just about finding something to replace yourself."

"What about fire, water, thunder, and the like?"

Mai Shiranui thought for a moment and said, "I'm not really sure about lightning and water, but fire is no problem~"

Lucifer nodded, though slightly disappointed. She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned he could still use fire; she had always thought ninjutsu was something incredibly mysterious and powerful...

Mai Shiranui then said to Lucifer, "Miss, is that horn on your head some kind of special hair accessory? It's quite pretty..."

"Huh? This? This comes with it."

"Eh?! So you're from another world too?"

After thinking for a moment, Lucifer said, "Logically, those who come in through that glowing door are guests from another world. I came in normally, so I should be considered a person from this world, right?"

Mai Shiranui nodded, then asked doubtfully, "So what?"

"Because I came up from below~"

Mai Shiranui looked down at the ground, not quite understanding Lucifer's words. Below? Which below? The basement? Suddenly, looking at the corner where Lucifer was, Mai Shiranui had a bold guess.

"Um...is that...hell down there?"

Even Mai Shiranui herself found the question absurd when she asked it. Creatures from hell look like that? If all the men go to hell, who wants to go to heaven?

However, she clearly forgot that her current trans-world behavior is actually quite bizarre.

Lucifer gave a strange smile and said, "Um, I am Lucifer, I am..."

"Lucifer?!"

Mai Shiranui definitely knows this name. Lucifer's eyes lit up with joy. Finally, he saw this expression! Finally, a human showed such an expression after knowing his name! This feeling was so great!

"But isn't Lucifer a man?"

Upon hearing this, Lucifer's lips twitched. He had intended to cause trouble, but instead, he had been outmaneuvered. Lucifer angrily shouted, "I am Lucifer! Queen of Hell! Queen!"

Mai Shiranui was taken aback by Lucifer's words for a moment, then nodded. Since she couldn't afford to offend him, she might as well go along with what he said. After all, Lucifer didn't seem to be the Lucifer from her own mythology at all. Compared to him, this Lucifer was more like... a tsundere little girl?

Lucifer could naturally sense the perfunctory attitude. Just as Lucifer was about to prove himself, Bai Yu came out, holding two cups in his hands.

"Your dishes will take some time to prepare, so please have something to warm your stomachs first~"

Mai Shiranui looked up at the steaming cup on her table and then at Bai Yu. Bai Yu had already come to Zoro's side, who was lying down. After placing the cup on the table, he smiled and said, "Although the floor is clean, it's still better to sit in a chair."

Zoro sat up, glanced at Bai Yu, cracked his neck, and then sat back down in his seat. After smelling the contents of his cup, he asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"It's nothing, just ordinary tea, but Miss Shiranui... is it acceptable for a ninja to be addressed like that?"

Mai Shiranui was taken aback for a moment, then nodded repeatedly and said, "There are no such rules!"

Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "However, Miss Shiranui's tea is a little different, because it is tea specially made for ladies."

"Huh? Tea specifically for ladies?"

Mai Shiranui suddenly became very interested. What kind of tea was specifically for ladies? She had just smelled a very fragrant aroma, but she wasn't sure if it was what she was thinking.

Bai Yu looked at Lucifer with a puzzled expression and asked, "Hey? Lucifer, what's wrong?"

Lucifer grabbed Bai Yu's arm and said earnestly, "Bai Yu, I am...."

Bai Yu interrupted Lucifer directly, laughing as he said, "You, Miss Shiranui, what you see before you is the real Queen of Hell, although she looks a little off."

Mai Shiranui glanced at the somewhat smug Lucifer, but she still didn't quite feel it was him. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Alright, Little Queen, I'm going to prepare the meal now~"

"Please wait a moment, Lucifer. You can chat with the guests."

Lucifer turned and glanced at Mai Shiranui, feeling a strange unease for some reason. Mai Shiranui also found Bai Yu odd; who was this shopkeeper to be so obedient to the Queen of Hell?

Chapter 128 A Delicious Taste That Makes Your Tongue Fall in Love (Please Subscribe~)

Mai Shiranui only reached for the cup of tea after seeing the white feather disappear. The warmth from her palm made her feel a sense of comfort, and a fresh and elegant fragrance wafted out, refreshing and pleasant.

If you were to ask what quenches thirst best, the answer would definitely not be a beverage, and certainly not something like cola. Everyone knows that cola satisfies one's sense of spirit and taste, while what truly quenches thirst is often something very ordinary, like water.

Taking it a step further, you can achieve various effects. Tea is the water that calms the mind and soothes the nerves. Tea may lack some of the taste impact compared to cola or similar drinks, but the feeling it evokes is incomparable to other beverages.

"Mmm~ This really does smell like rose... What a fragrant tea..."

As a traditional Japanese ninja, Mai Shiranui's diet is relatively simple and elegant. Now, a sip of rose tea makes her feel warm and cozy.

"What does this taste like? It has a very refreshing aroma. Hmm, it's actually quite delicious!"

The flower tea had a delicate sweetness of rose, a hint of blueberry sweetness, and a subtle fragrance that she couldn't quite detect. The taste of the tea was hard to describe in words; it was simply refreshing, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, and an unforgettable aftertaste.

Lucifer would occasionally ask Mai Shiranui about ninjas, and Mai didn't seem to think there was anything she couldn't say. Putting aside the fact that this was another world, there was no need for this person, who seemed to truly be the Queen of Hell, to learn ninjutsu. Besides, she didn't teach her; she simply clarified some misunderstandings Lucifer had. (Naruto: Misunderstandings are good....)

Time seeps into the tea. As the flower tea is finished, a rich aroma wafts out—the aroma of meat. You don't need to know what kind of meat it is; you just need to know that it smells delicious.

Zoro could smell it too, and even with his strong resolve to maintain his martial arts, he couldn't resist the fragrance. Some things are not so easy to resist.

Even Mai Shiranui, who prefers vegetarian food, was tempted. The aroma was so rich, with a salty and sweet meaty fragrance that you could almost picture it just by smelling it.

A perfectly cut piece of meat, with dark, viscous sauce slowly dripping from it. The meat must be very tender, and the skin must be very smooth. Under this light, the skin emits a faint glow. Yes, this is exactly how it should look.

The eyes may deceive you, but the nose and taste will not. This aroma has already sketched out the original appearance of this dish with a fine pencil.

Lucifer was slightly taken aback by the smell. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the door being pushed open. Bai Yu slowly pushed out a food cart with only a black porcelain pot on it. That pot was probably the largest porcelain pot Lucifer had ever seen.

Bai Yu approached Zoro and said with a smile, "It seems that people in your world eat more than we do here. I didn't know how much you eat, so I made a little more."

Zoro's appetite is certainly not small, but it's not that outrageous. However, he's very excited today, so he seems to have a good appetite.

"Here's the meat you ordered, and the spirits you requested. This is the liquor Hawkeye and the others drink. That's all served. Please enjoy."

"Miss Shiranui, your dish will have to wait a little longer, because the peony cake needs to be baked a bit more."

"no problem!"

Bai Yu nodded and walked back to the kitchen. At this moment, Zoro finally stopped caring about calming down and ripped off the pot lid. The aroma instantly filled the shop.

It was an extremely aggressive flavor that you couldn't escape. Unlike the alluring, delicate hand flavor from before, this one was like a demon with a lasso, capturing diners.

Everything was just like the sketch you had drawn in your mind based on the information your nose had given you. The black porcelain pot was filled with neatly cut pieces of meat. There was no need for plating or artistic embellishment; everything was fine as it was.

The pork skin, glistening as it was sliced ​​across the sauce, left tiny marks that resembled a thin film of crystal, gleaming enticingly under the soft light. A few chestnuts, also tinged with the color, nestled close to the meat, while a few sprigs of cilantro added a touch of understated elegance to the dish.

It's very simple, so simple that you can tell what's in it at a glance: meat, chestnuts, a few sprigs of cilantro, and nothing else. But when you lift the lid and see the irregularly shaped chunks of meat, with that sheen, it's like what a pirate's treasure chest looks like when it's opened.

Upon seeing it, Lucifer nodded and said, "Oh~ it really is braised pork with chestnuts~"

That's right, it's braised pork with chestnuts. It's a dish similar to Infernal Affairs, with two main characters, and only two roles: chestnuts and pork. The most important ingredient in this dish is the chestnuts. You must use autumn chestnuts, as chestnuts at this time are considered a gift from the gods.

Chestnuts are especially soft and powdery at this time of year. Chestnuts are never particularly sweet, but they have a unique sweet and powdery texture, which is one of the key ingredients.

Secondly, the main ingredient in braised pork is naturally pork. The pork belly becomes full of layers of flavor in the hot sauce and heat. The skin is tender and bouncy, the fatty part is fresh and tender, and the lean part is soft but chewy. The skin is responsible for the unforgettable taste, the fatty part is responsible for the aroma that is rich but not greasy, and the lean part is responsible for carrying all the flavors.

One bite, and it's fragrant, savory with a hint of rock sugar sweetness. Every piece of meat tastes the same, equally delicious. With each chew, you can be absolutely certain you're eating meat. The layers of flavor, the salty and sweet taste, the meat juices, the aroma of the meat, the fragrance of the sauce, and the subtle sweetness of the chestnuts—it's simply wonderful!

This flavor doesn't even need to reach your taste buds; the juices and broth that seep out as you chew are enough to prove it. It's rich but not greasy, with distinct layers, and is fragrant, tender, and soft—a true blessing for meat lovers.

This is a reward that no one can refuse after a hard day's work. The meat is placed on fragrant rice and drizzled with a little bit of broth. Wow, this perfect combination makes this meal irresistible.
