Rebirth as a Cooking God

Xia Yu doesn't need the theoretical knowledge of Yin Yang and Five Elements at all. He can also pretend to be a magic stick and frighten many Chinese chefs into confusion.

At his level, what is needed is guidance from practical experience rather than rhetoric.

But unfortunately, Yan Mo and Hongyi obviously had reservations.

It’s normal to think about it.

Why should the letters and notes left by the former big boss of the dark world be revealed to you, an outsider? Xia Yu came here this time just to try his luck along the way. It would be best if he got something. If not, he wouldn't regret it too much. He had a stable mentality.

Walk--

According to the driver, this driver was dispatched by Gin Dojima from a resort hotel in Hokkaido, Totsuki Kingdom. It is said that he is a retired mercenary of a certain person and is trustworthy.

Director Xia, where are you going next?

The driver drove away from the manor where he was staying in Bahianlou.

Xia Yu glanced at Erina Nakiri who was sitting next to her, Didn't you say you wanted to take me to the market?

Um……

The girl who followed had a sullen face and said matter-of-factly: The materials provided by the IGO Food Store can only guarantee that the quality is above average and the yield rate is high. These ingredients can be used in the daily operations of high-end restaurants, but they are not suitable for competitions. The quality is not enough!”

Competition dishes are indeed different from everyday dishes.

Let's talk about Gold Inlaid with Jade. Even if Xia Yu is the creator of the recipe and has a stable channel to exchange forbidden ingredients, he wouldn't dare to say that cooking a bowl for himself every day is too luxurious.

Go to Nijo Market! Erina turned to the driver and ordered.

Hearing this, the driver's face reflected in the rearview mirror was obviously a little surprised.

Nijo Market is said to have started in the Meiji Era of Japan. It has developed into a super-large comprehensive market that integrates fish markets, taverns, and fruit shops. It is also well-known and has become a popular tourist destination, attracting many foreign tourists. Come here and try the authentic seafood delicacies provided by those unique shops.

When talking about fish markets, we cannot fail to mention the geographical conditions of Hokkaido.

The Hokkaido fishing ground is the largest fishing ground in the world. This is the same on the earth in another time and space, or on the earth where Xia Yu is now. After all, the contours of the land and ocean have not changed. The cold and warm currents meet in Hokkaido, forming a natural An environment rich in fishery resources.

Hey, are you ready? If you hurry up, you'll be late!

Around nine o'clock in the morning, in a corner of the Nijo Market, Erina shook her legs and asked impatiently to the boy who had her back turned to him.

Okay!

Xia Yu turned around with a smile. He had already dressed up in disguise, wearing a peaked cap and large sunglasses to cover half of his face. At this time, he put his hands in the pockets of his jacket and threw it on the market street. He looked like a male passerby. Definitely not outstanding.

And Erina wears a knitted hat, her conspicuous golden slightly curly long hair is still scattered around her shoulders, her upper body is a narrow down jacket that shows her figure, and her lower body is a short skirt and cotton tights. A scarf around her neck is a good way to slightly lift her chin. Cover, she consciously twisted her scarf to cover half of her face. No matter how curious passers-by were, they might not be able to recognize this young lady.

Looking at the dressing styles of passers-by on the street, and then looking at himself and the girl, Xia Yu finally realized that it was already winter in Hokkaido, not the golden autumn of September, so it was time to add layers of clothes.

Okay? Then come with me!

The impatience of waiting was gone, and there was a hint of excitement in Erina's steps and tone, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Xia Yu walked side by side with her in the crowd of people in the market.

Along the way, seafood shops are everywhere. The shelves are full of seafood, lying on the cold ice. You can name all kinds of aquatic products, such as shrimps, crabs, cuttlefish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc., and some The huge seafood, such as the oversized king crab, has a ferocious appearance and is eye-catching when placed on ice cubes.

Huh.

Stopping at a small roadside restaurant where there was a queue, Xia Yu looked at the colorful poster they placed in front of the store:

Crab rice bowl, 1,480 yen.

Three-color seafood rice bowl, 1880 yen.

Seafood sashimi dragon boat, 2550 yen.

The price is very affordable!

Xia Yu felt hungry just after casually looking at the three stalls of dishes. But when he looked past the store door poster and saw that the bar and small tables were occupied by customers, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​trying it.

Don't dawdle!

At this time, Erina scolded him, tugged on his arm, and urged: The fish market auction has begun. In the past, all the good products were taken away late!

The two of them moved to a relatively quiet warehouse in the market.

In the distance, chatter and quarrels came from a certain warehouse, but this area was fenced and isolated, and there were many guards standing guard at the door with their hands behind their backs.

Where's your special badge? Erina put a card on a device that looked like an identity instrument. Just like passing through a subway ticket gate, she walked over and waved to the other side.

Identity check?

The girl repeatedly warned him when she knocked on his door in the morning. Xia Yu took out a small badge from his pocket, passed the test and entered Warehouse No. 1 with the girl.

Upon entering, Xia Yu had a general understanding of the situation.

About a hundred people gathered around a small stage. On the simple stage was an auction staff member who was shouting loudly:

Fresh Arctic shrimp caught in Qingchi Pond, number 33, landed within 3 hours, totaling 5 kilograms, starting price is 50,000 yen...

51,000!

52,000!

Immediately someone raised a sign and shouted the price.

Xia Yu found the seafood that was being auctioned, which was exactly one box of Arctic shrimp. Next to it, there were several middle-aged people who looked like chefs, pointing at the box of aquatic products.

Well, the shell is red, transparent and plump. It is indeed the best Arctic shrimp. It is enough for me to compete in that food festival!

After muttering, the chef turned around and participated in the bidding.

Erina stayed close to him, breathed out, and whispered: Qingchi is the fishing code. This may refer to a fisherman, or a ship, or a fishing company. No matter what, it can be put here for bidding. The seafood ingredients are definitely the best of their kind, and the prices are generally very high!

Xia Yu nodded.

He is well aware of the price of Arctic shrimp. The price of ordinary Arctic shrimp in Japanese fishery supermarkets is about 500 yen per pound, which is about 30 yuan. However, this kind of Arctic shrimp is small and has incomplete shrimp whiskers. And it has been frozen and transported for a long time, so the quality is considered to be the lowest.

But Xia Yu roughly scanned the box of Arctic shrimps at the Ertiao auction market. The total weight of the box was 5 kilograms, but there were only about 80-90 shrimps. About eight or nine shrimps weighed one kilogram. You can imagine how big the shrimps are. big.

Beep.

Freeze your gaze for a few seconds, triggering a visual talent that you haven't used for a long time - [Dialysis Eye].

Information gathering.

[The best Arctic shrimp] (blue), with an average weight of 59 grams, is caught from the Hokkaido fishing ground. It takes less than 3 hours to land on the shore. It is very fresh and is of the highest quality in its category. It can be used to cook higher-quality seafood delicacies.

Such Arctic shrimp costs 10,000 yen per kilogram, and even Xia Yu is ready to move.

A chef's pursuit of high-quality ingredients is like a bounty hunter's pursuit of treasure. The fiery atmosphere of the fish market auction is enough to prove this.

look--

Erina suddenly shook his arm.

Following the instructions, Xia Yu saw a row of crab boxes that were up for auction. These boxes were placed one by one, and each box contained a red crab with claws bound by rubber bands.

Hiss, so big!

King crab?

But looking carefully, Xia Yu stared: No, it's a hairy crab, but how big is a hairy crab?

Before he could react, he was dragged away by the excited girl. The two of them were considered fast and squeezed into the innermost layer to take a closer look. After two or three seconds, the place was surrounded by a crowd.

The auction staff who came from the tow truck said in a steady tone:

The best Hokkaido hairy crab, one weighs 2 kilograms, and the starting price is 50,000 yen each! A must-have ingredient for cooking top-notch seafood delicacies, don't miss it!

Xia Yu's eyes flashed wildly.

The famous Hokkaido hairy crab!

This is the third of the three famous crabs in Hokkaido, besides the Matsuba crab and the king crab.

Hokkaido hairy crabs cannot be artificially reproduced, and a 500-gram hairy crab needs ten years of growth in a pure, pollution-free environment to reach such a size.

So, the 2 kilogram hairy crab definitely refreshed Xia Yu's understanding of this type of seafood ingredients.

These ordinary seafood ingredients must have changed due to the invasion, right?

No matter what, Xia Yu was excited inside.

In order to achieve 80% completion of the finished product of Four Gods Seafood and Eight Treasures Soul-Calming Steamed Buns, in addition to the mysterious and mysterious yin and yang, the five elements, and the yin and yang adjustment secrets, seafood ingredients are also the key.
