Rebirth as a Cooking God

The 2 hours of standard Shoji time seems to pass in the blink of an eye.

On the broadcast screen, Gaius's 'grilled marinated octopus' is a typical Western food style. There are circles of onion strips on a clean white plate, with cut tomato segments, and a green lettuce leaf as the base. Bottom of the plate.

The roasted octopus legs, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, had shrunk. After placing them on the table, Gaius took a bottle of olive oil and lightly drizzled it with oil.

Followed by a little bit of vinegar, a little bit of lemon juice.

Just looking at the red and green colors on the dinner plate, the industry insiders swallowing their saliva quietly, as if the door to their appetite is about to be completely opened.

Needless to say, it is the dish of a king after all, at least in terms of style, it is on point.

Ding! Ding!

The bell for passing the food rang.

Gaius took off the white hat on his head and pressed the bell on the table. My dishes are ready. The voice came out through the miniature microphone on his collar, which immediately caused a commotion in the audience.

Doris has long mastered the recipe information of her king father, and also knows her father's Grilled and Pickled Octopus.

ha--

She raised her breath slightly, Doris felt unspeakably nervous in her heart.

She understands the horrors of her father's 'Kingdom of Freshness'.

It is extremely fresh and unparalleled, and on top of the taste, there is also the mysterious sublimation given to the ingredients by the legendary kitchen tool Lingzangku. It's like the artifacts in the game are enchanted and forged by god-level craftsmen, making them even more indestructible and invincible.

In short, this is a work that returns to nature and is close to the fresh way.

Okay, Chef Gaius finished it first! Doris managed to keep her tone steady, without breaking her voice or vibrato, So what's the situation with Chef Xia? Chef Xia, your progress...

The camera switched and Doris' mouth stopped.

With his back to the camera, Xia Yu is holding a very standard Chinese pot spoon filled with grease.

At this time, the metal pot and spoon was placed on top of the stove. The faint blue flame of the stove covered most of the bottom of the spoon, and soon the grease in the spoon began to boil.

What is this for?

Cooking oil?

Xia Yu grabbed a handful of Sichuan peppercorns in the bowl next to him and threw it into the oil spoon. The originally clear oil immediately turned red, just like red ink rendering a pond.

Boohoo.

The Sichuan peppercorns cooked in boiling oil gave off a hint of fragrance.

Hearing Doris's voice just at this moment, Xia Yu closed the stove valve, looked up at the camera, and smiled slightly, I've finished the work here.

The camera promptly switched to the kitchen table in front of him. There were five bowls on the table, each bowl filled with boiled noodles.

However, the shape of the noodle bowl is quite strange.

Half black, half white.

yin and yang?

Tai Chi noodles?

Seeing the contrast between black and white in the noodle bowl, the commotion at the table disappeared instantly.

Good, good way to arrange the bowls!

The black noodles are most likely squid ink noodles, but what about the white and transparent noodles? Potato noodles? Why would Chef Xia do this? Is it just for the color contrast of the dishes and for the appearance?

Doris was stunned for a while. She asked Xia Yu several times in the past six months and vaguely knew that Xia Yu was preparing a killer noodle recipe. Now the yin and yang shape and Tai Chi diagram in the noodle bowl also shocked her, Chef Xia is definitely not a chef who blindly pursues appearance... With his unconstrained cooking concept, this bowl of noodles is something special! Maybe! Nao Oyoshi pursues Mother Sun Ball!

Snap.

At this time, the sound of the door opening came from another glass kitchen. Gaius took the lead and walked out with the dishes, going back and forth twice to place 5 dishes on the judging table.

Everyone, please use it slowly——

Gaius bowed slightly.

The five people in the judging panel also looked away from the broadcast screen.

Lance glanced at the white plate in front of him and raised a hint of amusement at the corner of his lips, Gaius, you have fought countless halberd battles, big and small. This halberd battle will most likely be recorded in the history of the food world. It has become a big deal, so do you want to think about it again?

What to consider?

Gaius' face darkened.

Consider serving the dishes first and serving them later. Lance crossed his palms in a calm manner, with a serious expression in his eyes, Actually, I think your 'Kingdom of Freshness' is suitable for the queen.

Why?

“If you put happiness behind, isn’t it just happyending?”

...

Gaius's forehead was stretched with veins. What does joy mean? Be serious, this is a historic battle between shokuji and halberds!

Zhu Ji, Nakiri Senzaemon looked at each other and smiled.

They could see that Gaius was in a hurry.

In fact, in a duel of this level, it doesn't matter who goes first or who goes last. Gaius had been pretending to be very serious in the past, maintaining the strong character of the King of Heaven, but who knew that at the last moment, he would still fail——

Rushing to grab a parking space.

Anxious to be the first to serve food, to get a head start.

And his opponent is the junior Chef Long who kept saying you can't do it before the game started.

Grilled marinated octopus?

It was a foregone conclusion that Gaius would serve the food first, and it was impossible to ask him to take the food away. The judges gathered themselves together. Zhu Ji glanced at the white dinner plate twice before raising his head, his eyes firmly fixed on Gaius:

Have you ever heard of 'super hearing'? Zhu Ji asked abruptly.

I've heard it. This is an innate god-level talent that can listen to the sounds of all things. Gaius said, You know what you want to say, but 'super hearing' and the whispers on my plate , it’s simply not the same level of freshness!”

A hint of disdain rose from the corner of his mouth.

Above the dragon level, the so-called god-level talents are no longer useful.

As he spoke, he cast a glance at another glass kitchen behind him and Gaius said expressionlessly: Super hearing can at best establish communication with the ingredients. It relies on communication to tame and control the ingredients. But my fresh food The taste of the ocean is on the dinner plate. All the taste of the ocean you want is on my plate.

The King's unruliness was on his face.

The five people in the judging panel were all silent. Zhu Ji looked at Gaius intently and did not accuse him of being arrogant.

An octopus ingredient, a simple 'grilled and marinated octopus' dish, it can be said to be loaded with oceans. This thing is really big. As soon as Xia Yu opened the door and walked out of the glass room, he was shocked and stopped in his tracks. It really came true...the king's dishes, so terrifying?

I can summarize the ocean and outline the taste of the ocean with one stroke.

If this is what the King of Chefs does.

Gulu!

Xia Yu's appetite suddenly whetted, and his eyes became hot.

I really want to eat it.

At this time, the venue became noisy again, and it seemed that only Gaius heard the door opening behind him. He kept his expression and glanced sideways from the corners of his eyes. There were many emotions hidden in his eyes, including provocation and contempt, but in the end these emotions turned into an invitation from afar:

bring it on.

Come and have a try too.

Discover my ‘Ocean Kingdom’!

please--

Gaius said to the judges.

Zhu Ji and Lance were the first to hold the knife and fork. At this time, the lights on the ceiling of the venue were bright, so the metal knife and fork looked silver, and the 'grilled octopus feet' under the light were gleaming because they were drizzled with a layer of olive oil. .

After the camera zoomed in, everyone in the audience couldn't help but wipe their eyes, and vaguely saw the scene where Gaius had just taken the octopus out of the Spirit Storehouse.

Just two hours ago, these octopuses also had a layer of crystal light.

It's as if, after boiling, pickling, and charcoal grilling, the ingredients are still the same as they were originally, never changing.

This is a subconscious psychology.

Um?

Hallucination?

Xia Yu's expression condensed slightly and he stared at Zhu Ji and Lance closely.

First came Zhu Ji. His fork stabbed the octopus's leg, but it stung the food on the plate. Whoosh, the octopus' leg swayed obviously.

The fork stopped, and Zhu Ji pressed harder with his hand, stabbing deeper. This time the octopus legs struggled desperately, and simply contracted and wrapped tightly around the tip of the fork.

If Zhu Ji is not good at using knives and forks, what about Lance, a Westerner? Also holding the knife and fork, Lance might have caught a glimpse of what was happening on Zhu Ji's side. As soon as the fork stopped, the bright silver knife slashed down on an octopus leg on the plate.

laugh.

A circle of barbecue was cut off and separated.

Lance's pupils shrank slightly, staring at the cross-section of a circle of barbecue, where a few drops of rich dark red liquid were seeping out.

There is something!

This is not some residual congestion.

Garlic, lemon juice, oregano, rosemary mixed with wine vinegar, the ingredients used to marinate the octopus, were now releasing a torrent of flavor to Lance's nose!

Click!

Lightning strikes, the march of the storm.

Lance's blue eyes turned into a sea with bad weather.

The faces of several judges suddenly became solemn.

Gaius stared at them, his voice lowered, like the old captain on the ship who calmly commanded the sailors to resist the storm on the sea, Do you think it is like a fish that has sucked in the 'essence of freshness'? Woolen cloth?

No one answered him. The five judges all lowered their knives and forks, picked up a cut circle of grilled and pickled octopus, and put it into their mouths.

Poof.

There were sailors on the rickety ship who fell into the rough water.

Well, this tightly wrapped, extremely delicate taste! Zhu Ji, Lance, and Nakiri Senzaemon all raised their faces. After their teeth bit through the hard grilled skin, they found soft and tender meat, delicate, It was elastic. They tried to chew it and it tasted crispy. In an instant, the sailor who fell into the sea seemed to have accidentally swallowed a live fish. His limbs suddenly loosened and he sank straight into the bottom of the sea.

“This is what it’s like to capture someone’s heart.”

It makes people willing to give up all resistance and just perish.

Water, lots of it.

Disarm and surrender!

in reality.

The five people at the judging table moved their knives and forks up and down at an alarming rate. As pieces of 'grilled and marinated octopus meat' were brought into their mouths and chewed, the changes in their bodies became more and more obvious.

Pendulum, swing.

Shake left, shake right.

The faces of the five judges showed disco-like indulgence. It's as if youth and vitality have returned to these old guys.

Xia Yu was shocked when he saw it, Damn it, a dish with its own background music?

Like an octopus octopus

Octopus Octopus

drift with the waves

Octopus Octopus Octopus

Dancing in the waves

Octopus Octopus
