Food: I was a cartoonist in Totsuki

"This... what on earth is this light? Golden light keeps flying out from the plate!" Randa Fei said loudly, protecting his eyes with his hands.

Other people at the scene also exclaimed, having no idea what was going on.

Of course, there are also chefs who have heard of "Glow Cuisine", but they stutter in their speech because they feel disgusted with the huge waves in their hearts.

"Is this...is this the legendary luminous cuisine?"

"Glowing food, what is that?"

"I...I heard a Chinese master say that the highest state of Chinese cuisine is when the dishes can emit incredible light. This is the manifestation of the dishes reaching the 'return to nature', and it is also the ultimate state of Chinese cuisine!"

Although a group of Westerners didn't quite understand what "the ultimate" meant, they probably guessed the general meaning from what the Asian chef said.

To put it simply, people who can make luminous dishes are the top figures in the cooking world.

"I have also heard from family members... In ancient China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the most prosperous times for Chinese cuisine, and luminous cuisine appeared at that time. But it is said that chefs who can make luminous cuisine ceased to exist at the end of the Qing Dynasty. And the one who can make this kind of food is Taishan Beidou in the entire cooking world, how can a student from Totsuki do it!"

This time, not only the table chefs, but also the late-night chefs had a look of surprise on their faces. They knew more about "luminous cuisine" than the table chefs and knew the meaning of this thing's existence.

"Glowing food? Hum, that's interesting."

"I thought there was only one chef, Si Yingshi, but I didn't expect that there is such a number one person. Is he also a student of Yueyue?"

"Haha, I'm starting to get excited."

Tong Yu's super hearing heard the words of everyone around him, and now everyone's eyes were on him, which made him a little uncomfortable or helpless.

Keeping a low profile and not wanting to be the focus of too many people's attention is one of Tong Yu's principles. Now because of this luminous dish, everyone's eyes have fallen on him, which is something he doesn't want.

In fact, this dish would not have a luminous effect if served directly like this, but because of the delay due to Si Yingshi, Tong Yu had to cover it with a lid, which made the "luminous" effect completely highlighted.

After the light, everyone saw that the food on the dinner plate was... fish?

No, it’s a golden toad!

"Ah? Ju... actually made the carp into the shape of a toad, haha, this shape is really strange!"

As the chef said, Tong Yu changed the carp into the shape of a golden toad. The method is similar to the squirrel fish, but the requirements for knife skills are more stringent. A slight mistake will affect the overall beauty of the dish.

On the white plate, there is a lifelike "golden toad", with colorful ingredients next to it.

Green beans, corn kernels, and copper coins made from carrots turned into knives.

In terms of appearance and presentation, it is even more beautiful than Si Yingshi's dish just now.

Of course, the "beautiful" mentioned here refers to people who can really understand this dish.

For example, people who don’t understand will laugh at the idea of ​​turning a carp into an ugly golden toad. Isn’t this trying to impress others’ appetites?

Landa Fei was also stunned for a moment, looking at the food in front of him for a long time.

......................................

Hearing these sneers, Tong Yu sneered: "You are stupid. You claim to be a star chef, but your knowledge of cooking is so superficial. Do you know the meaning of the golden toad in ancient China?"

"Meaning?"

"The golden toad was also called the three-legged golden toad in ancient China. In ancient Chinese myths and legends, there was a three-legged toad in the moon palace, and later generations also called the moon palace the toad palace. Traditional allegorical pattern. It is attached to the legendary figure who lived without grains and made light of his body. The pattern is usually composed of a young man with unkempt hair, using money as a rope to fish for golden toads. In ancient times, it was believed that getting it can make you rich, which means prosperity, happiness and beauty..."

Despite Tong Yu's explanation, many European chefs were confused.

Tong Yu didn't intend to explain more: "Try it, this dish needs to be eaten while it's hot. Some time was wasted just now."

Landa Fei picked up the chopsticks, pulled off a piece of fried golden and crispy fish meat from the "Golden Toad", and slowly brought it to his mouth.

Click.

Landa Fei took a bite and could hear the crisp sound coming from his mouth.

The fish meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the shark fins have been softened by the high temperature and can be easily bitten.

The first bite I took was not too shocking. I just felt that the taste of the fish was okay. The taste was moderate, not particularly outstanding, and not too hot or too bland.

Randa Fei couldn't help but take down the chopsticks for the second time, and this time he put another piece of fish into his mouth.

Chapter 317: Glowing, Ultimate Cuisine

Landa Fei tasted the first bite and had no special expression. He just felt that the taste was average and there was nothing special about it.

"Well, this smell..."

Although the taste is not top-notch, unlike when I tasted Si Yingshi's cuisine just now, the moment the food enters the mouth, the deliciousness sweeps through the entire taste, and the impact is very small... But it is such a taste that people can't help but continue of tasting.

Randaffy picked up the chopsticks again and put another piece of fish into his mouth.

Then it was the third time to put down chopsticks, then the fourth, fifth time...

Randaffy's right hand never stopped, and for a while the only sounds of Randaffy moving his chopsticks and chewing could be heard.

Watching Randa Fei immersed himself in tasting without saying a word, Aizawa Izumi on the side also noticed that this was not a normal phenomenon.

"What's going on? You kept tasting it without saying a word, eating with such concentration?"

"Is there anything special about this fish dish called 'Golden Toad'?"

Randaffy couldn't stop at all, and didn't even have time to speak.

Seeing this, Tong Yu smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing special about this dish. This 'Golden Toad Fish' mainly pays attention to the knife skills. The way of making squirrel fish is different. The tail of the fish cannot be cut off, so that the golden toad fish can be cooked properly." The shape of the toad. It is not only necessary to cut the fish meat, but also to remove the fish bones from the head to the tail. In addition, the frying time and the proportion of the sauce also need to be paid attention to. The ingredients in the convenience store are not complete, and the shape The taste may be a bit different..."

"Ah, I can't stop smelling this!"

At this time, Landa Fei finally couldn't bear the continuous taste of the accumulated delicious food, and it completely exploded in her body.

Needless to say, the texture of the fish is golden and crispy on the outside, and the meat on the inside is extremely tender.

The sauce poured over the fish has some sweetness, which combines with the hint of sweetness of the fish itself to bring a special sweet and sour taste.

The slightly sour taste stimulates the appetite, which makes the right hand unable to stop and keeps putting pieces of fish into the mouth.

"The knife work, heat, and presentation are all flawless, which is different from Si Yingshi's cooking just now. Si Yingshi superimposes the deliciousness of each ingredient, but this dish mainly highlights the fish. The delicious food brings out the flavor of an ingredient to the extreme!" Landa Fei said with a rosy look on his face.

Everyone who heard this fell into silence and thinking for a while, especially Si Yingshi who stared at Tong Yu's cooking for a long time.

After a long time, Landa Fei calmed down, looked at Tong Yu and said, "This sauce of yours is so special. It's different from any sweet and sour sauce I've ever tasted before. It's really made from ingredients from a convenience store." ?I only tasted a few fruits."

This time, Randaffy asked unconfidently. This kind of sauce is rare even in French five-star restaurants.

No...they are two completely different flavors.

Facing Landa Fei's doubts, Tong Yu smiled again and said: "There are several fruit flavors, among which I used two products. One is canned fruit, and the other is blueberry sauce."

"blueberry!"

Only then did Landa Fei realize. He had just been immersed in the delicious taste of the fish, forgetting that the main source of the sweet and sour food was blueberries.

Wait... wait, how can it have such a deep flavor if it's just blueberries.

"It seems Miss Landa has discovered it, right? That's right, I blended the flavors of several fruits, with the 'sour' flavor of blueberry as the main one, to form a unique fruit-sweet and sour sauce. Sweet and sour , is actually the most suitable flavor for river fish, because the meat of many river fish has a slight sweetness... There are many details about this dish, and I will not explain them one by one for Miss Landa." Tong Yu said.

Landa Fei looked at the dish in front of him, which he had eaten until only the soup and residue remained, and his surprise was like the turbulent sea.

Si Yingshi is very strong, but this student named Tong Yu is even stronger!

This dish can be said to be the pinnacle masterpiece of Chinese cuisine. It is a masterpiece that combines knife skills, cooking skills, plate presentation and aroma touch!

The characteristic of Siyingshi cuisine is that it does not overemphasize any flavor and allows the flavors of all ingredients to be balanced and unified. There are very few chefs who can achieve this... .

If they are just combined, it will only form a mediocre dish. No matter what kind of taste you want to highlight, if it fails, it will show unnecessary flavors.With such a limited kit, I didn’t expect to be able to create dishes worth over $500. To be honest, I was really shocked.

But Tong Yu's cuisine, while reaching the level of Si Yingshi, highlights the main ingredient fish to the extreme.

It felt like Tong Yu was standing on the 20th floor, while Si Yingshi was only on the 10th floor, or even only [-] floors high.

This difference is too obvious!

Wait...wait a minute. If according to this assumption, Si Yingshi's cuisine is worth US$587, then wouldn't Tong Yu's cuisine be worth $[-]?

Thinking of this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Landa Fei's face. She didn't bring so much money today!

"Are you listening to me? Miss Landa, you have tasted the food I made. Please judge its value."

Tong Yu's voice came to his ears, and Landa Fei was brought back from his deep thoughts.

"Ah, you...the value of your dish is...is..."

As Randa Fei said this, he opened his 0.8-karat pink wallet and counted how much money was left.

Oops, it’s totally not enough.

"It's all for you!"

Landa Fei stuffed all the money in her wallet into Tong Yu's hand, immediately stood up and ran towards another place. Her turbulent behavior made everyone confused.

"Forehead."

"You continue cooking, the review continues, and I'll go get some money!"

After saying that, Randa Fei left here without looking back.

Tong Yu counted a handful of U.S. dollars in her hand. Most of them had a face value of 1 U.S. dollars. It was initially estimated that there were almost 1000 U.S. dollars.

"Although it is not as expected, the amount of money shows that it has exceeded Senior Si."

……

(To be continued.).

Chapter 318: Additional bonus?

Landa Fei directly handed all the money in his wallet to Tong Yu, then turned around to withdraw the money.

Seeing Landa Fei trotting away, Si Yingshi froze on the spot again.

"Forehead."

Tong Yu had almost a thousand US dollars in money, which was already more than the US$587 value of Si Yingshi's cooking just now.

The outcome is already clear.

"Senior Si, it seems that I won this competition of dish value." Tong Yu looked at Si Yingshi and said with a smile.

"Really, I lost to you again, and I'm still no match for you."

Si Yingshi looked at Tong Yu and smiled helplessly: "I thought I had grown a lot in the past few months, but I didn't expect that your cooking skills have become more sophisticated. It feels like the gap between us has become wider."
