Rebirth as a Cooking God

The fact that the leader Zhu Ji asked Xia Yu to hunt for treasure abroad only spread among relatives and friends.

Xia Yu was not in a hurry.

There are two mountains to move in front of him, and 'collecting the eight legendary kitchen utensils' is only one of them. The other is to create a killer recipe!

Several days passed, and Xinju went downstairs. After Xia Yu took office as the 'Qilinzi', business became even more popular.

The main building still implements a fixed dining table system every day, and only accommodates a thousand tables of guests. The newly opened east and west side pavilions are originally used to entertain distinguished guests, and there are fewer fixed tables, because the guests who come to dine here usually Xia Yu is assigned to cook, so the number of tables is sometimes limited to 10 tables per day. Of course, the food for each table is definitely not cheap. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as spending a lot of money.

On this day, in the kitchen, there were three Lin chefs surrounding Xia Yu, listening carefully to his words and observing his cooking.

The three Lin chefs, two men and one woman, were selected by Xia Yu and Zhu Qing through their recruitment resumes.

The youngest of them is one round older than Xia Yu, but at this time he is still a teenager, and his expression and behavior are not much different from those of the new apprentices who have just started cooking.

...You all know what 'Food Spirit' is, right? Xia Yu was boiling a pot of fresh soup, adding ingredients into the hot water, then clapped his hands and turned to look at the three of them.

Lin Chu looked at each other with a bitter look on his face.

Among them, the charming-looking female chef Lin in red is an acquaintance. The Red who participated in the Sapporo Food Competition in the Dark World. Her real name is Wu Hongyi, and she is the descendant of an important leader in the Dark Cuisine World.

Wu Hongyi said cautiously: If we just look at the term 'food spirit', we know it.

Mark? Xia Yu asked.

The three nodded.

So, how to give imprints to dishes so that the shapes and shadows in the dishes are more real and immortal? This is what makes you feel tricky and unsure of the way forward, right? Xia Yu smiled.

The three nodded again.

It was quiet outside the kitchen. Someone was visiting, but they didn't dare to disturb her.

After a while, Xia Yu came out with his hands behind his back and looked at Zhu Qing. Zhu Qing came closer and said, Ayu, are you going to teach them to find their own 'food spirit'?

This is one of the conditions I agreed to hire them for ten years. Xia Yu squinted his eyes, This has to be done slowly, it's not that simple. I will give each of them a dragon-level recipe, and they will From my dragon-level recipe, look at my 'shape and shadow' and realize it for yourself. If they successfully replace my mark, then they will have initially understood the 'eating spirit'.

Next, I will guide them to create their first dragon-level recipes, and it will be a matter of course for them to step into the dragon chef's door.

Hearing what Xia Yu said, the corners of Zhu Qing's lips curled up, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

If it is so easy as the words say, why is it that a group of old men occupy high positions in the Chinese food industry?

However, Zhu Qing did not dwell on this matter. Instead, he smiled and pulled Xia Yu's sleeves, saying, Lei Aoxue is here, she is waiting for you.

oh?

Xia Yu immediately quickened his pace.

Lei Aoxue stood quietly in the yard. Next to her hand was a suitcase with a box of seven-star knives and kitchen utensils stacked on top.

Lei Aoxue heard about the fact that the leader Zhu Ji asked the contemporary Qilinzi to be responsible for retrieving kitchen utensils, so before going abroad, he made a special trip to Juxia downstairs to have a good talk with Xia Yu.

In fact, Lei Aoxue and Lei Shi have been living overseas for so many years, acting as secret agents of the highest gastronomic organization in China. She roughly informed Xia Yu of the clues she had. Among the three kitchen utensils, the 'Ganlang Pot', the 'Lingzangku' and the 'Demon Bronze Sacred Artifact', the one with definite information so far was the 'Demon Copper Sacred Artifact'!

Magic Bronze Sacred Artifact? Xia Yu was surprised.

Well, this is it. It is specially used for the processing of dry food. If you put dried seafood and dried vegetables into this kitchen utensil, it will be soaked immediately. If you add water and cook it with fire, it will be a pot. The most delicious soup! Lei Aoxue said.

Xia Yu silently added in his mind, it's not only delicious. He has watched Chinese Ichiban and knows that if you make soup with ingredients soaked in the Magic Copper Sacred Artifact, you will immediately get a pot of 'glowing' soup. Quite perverted!

Time waits for no one. I will tell you the specific information when we meet up in Mexico City when you arrive.

Lei Aoxue dragged her suitcase and paused, This is a rare opportunity. The collector of the 'Magic Bronze Sacred Artifact' will only display kitchen utensils and sell them with kitchen utensils at a local food festival at a certain point in time. Make dishes and entertain the public.”

In three days, the local food festival opens.

She took a deep look at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu held his forehead and said, Hey, I want to rest for a while and prepare my own killer recipe... Isn't it too hasty to rush the ducks to the shelves?

The situation abroad is, in all likelihood, more complicated than at home.

There are still bright and dark cooking circles in China, and there are several big names taking the stand. But when you go abroad, you are not familiar with the place. The key point is that the power situation is not clear. If you rush to ask for kitchen utensils, conflicts are foreseeable. .

Moreover, according to Lei Aoxue's intelligence clues, the location was Mexico, where gangs were rampant. Xia Yu's heart trembled subconsciously. I have read too much news about Mexican gangs, and I know how powerful these gangs and drug lords are, and how mayors of small places have been dismissed one after another. When he went to Mexico, his first consideration was personal safety.

Xia Yu, the hot weapon, is not afraid.

But he planned to bring along Morita Maki and Nakiri Erina for some experience.

It's always good to be wary.

…

Two days later.

Veracruz, Mexico.

This port city is as dazzling as a pearl along the Gulf of Eastern Mexico.

It is the oldest city in Mexico, and due to its early colonial history, as the gateway to the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean, it can be regarded as a fusion of European and African cultures. The most notable one is the local food customs——

Combining Spain and Havana, Cuba, and relying on the local Mexican culture, a fusion of skills and cooking methods has been formed.

In the city center, Xia Yu and his party left the hotel and got into a car.

The driver, a local, was excitedly introducing this food festival to everyone in the car in fluent English.

In fact, Spanish is the main language in Mexico, and the popularity of English among young people is much worse than that in China. This young driver has returned from a North American university and was hired by Lei Aoxue. He is a famous chef and is familiar with the food culture of the United States and Mexico. very familiar.

Nakiri Erina was in the back seat of the car, slightly close to Xia Yu, and showed off her rich food knowledge to Xia Yu and Morita Maki at the right time. She whispered: There are top ten cuisines and top ten food countries in the world. Mexico Probably ranked eighth or seventh.”

The situation in Mexico is just like in mainland China. There are also regional customs and cuisines. There are roughly eight major regional cuisines, and the styles vary from place to place.

Veragrus specializes in seafood and fish dishes. Peanuts are widely used. The cooking method is a fierce collision and high integration of local techniques and Spanish characteristics...

Xia Yu listened with great interest. His knowledge was far less solid than that of Nakiri Erina, who was seriously trained by his father and Commander-in-Chief Totsuki.

“I know how to cook a Veragrus dish, ‘Huachinango’ in Spanish, a seafood stew based on red snapper, with tomatoes, garlic, onions and many European Mediterranean spices combined with a sauce. …”
