Sword Raiders II

After talking about Gao Tianyuan, Yato didn't talk any more, and left soon.

Yu Li was still sitting there looking at the two teacups on the low table, exhaled lightly, got up and cleaned them up.

The temperature in this world is also getting lower and lower, and the snow will fall soon in winter, and this house will soon be dyed the same color as Honmaru.

Stepping out of the door of the living room and walking on the long veranda, the big house that only she used became quiet.

"It's so cold..."

What came to mind was the bustling scene in the former house, but he whispered such a sentiment in his mouth.

Whether it's so cold, or it's so deserted without finishing, only the person involved knows.

When will they come back, come back here, and come back to her.

……

"Lecturer... No, Mr. Xinggong seems to have been at the farm for the past few days. Is there something wrong?"

The chef training ground under the Xinggong Pavilion, a cooking study room, Si Yingshi was a little embarrassed to ask questions to Ruishan Zhijin who was currently using this cooking room.

"I'm doing cooking studies and I'm very busy, can't you see?" Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, Yuanyue's current eighth seat was talking to the former first seat who graduated with a look of disdain. But he unambiguously sliced ​​the salmon on the chopping board quickly and neatly. The size is even and the thickness is moderate. Even if it is placed in a high-end Japanese grocery store, it can be used as a beautiful knife. "Although the boss confiscated me as a disciple, But she never let up on my studies, if I fail the inspection, I will be unlucky too."

A fool like Si Yingshi, who is cowardly but has amazing cooking skills, doesn't understand his pain and happiness, especially at this time, the light stick is too annoying here.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I'm just asking, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done!" The cowardly personality went online in a second, and Si Yingshi apologized in a panic. He was obviously too panicked to face the villainous face of Zhizuya's villain, and he just nailed it in place. Run away, "If you know, please let me know!"

Rui Shan looked at his virtuous character, which was obviously too much to be cowardly but stubbornly insisted on, and sighed as if he was tired: "There is something wrong. I don't know what happened a few days ago, and the crops in several areas were in bad condition. , I don’t know the details, anyway, the BOSS saw that something was wrong with the field and said to stay there to solve the problem. She didn’t discuss this matter with me or my elder brother, so I don’t know how to deal with it. The farm side called me today and said that the crops are all back to normal."

In other words, she was no longer on the farm and had left long ago.

"That's it." Knowing the general situation, Si Yingshi heaved a sigh of relief, "That's great, as long as there is no problem."

His completely relieved look made Zhijin frowned even tighter: "Si, you..."

"Huh?" The other party looked over in a daze, and the same pair of silver pupils under the silver-white hair showed the craftsman's unique sense of ignorance of the world, making the already delicate and handsome features even more amazing.

Such an appearance is not inferior in the entertainment industry, but he is a cook in the culinary world... Although if he is willing, his annual income is not much lower than those of the top.

"No, it's nothing." Looking at this face, Rui Shan suddenly felt that there was nothing to say. Although he thought the possibility was not high, what if it succeeded?

Doesn't it mean that the more powerful a woman is, the more she likes the kind who are younger and soft-spoken?

"If you want to find the boss, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in these two days." After thinking about it, the eighth seat still mentioned, "She was called away by Nakiri Chaoyang. It seems that there is something important to discuss."

Hey?

Si Yingshi's eyes widened.

Nakiri Asahi?

……

"That's the way it is. I didn't really want to bring them to you, but I think it's necessary to do it once."

In a private mansion in a villa area, Nakiri Chaoyang stepped back with his hands in his pockets, half casually and half helplessly, so that Yu Li could clearly see a row of men and women standing opposite him.

Each of these people has different shapes, and some walking on the street may be regarded as an exaggerated degree of cosplay.

But Yu Li knows that all of these people have great skills, and they are outstanding people who can walk in the dark world where parts or even lives are easily lost. Now they are late-night cooks who are gradually shining in the domestic food world.

At the same time, it was also an important team member of Nakiri Chaoyang when he ruled the overseas world.

When Yuli was kidnapped by Baiguiliao to an isolated island, he participated in the rescue operation with Nakiri Chaoyang—although they never had a chance to make a move in the end.

"It's you." Seeing them again, Yu Li was a little surprised, but still greeted them happily, "Long time no see, I haven't thanked you for the isolated island last time, thank you for coming with the boat to rescue me and my mother .”

"I'm just following the orders of Master Chaoyang." One of the sisters, Lan Changzhi Yu, in a military dress, whispered, looking at Yu Li with a little hostility, "Master Xinggong, the ugly words are the first, although Chaoyang My lord bows to you as my teacher and is willing to let you send me around, but it doesn't mean that we will follow orders. The person I am loyal to is Lord Chaoyang, not you, please be clear about this."

Yu Li was taken aback.

"Shaqi." Before she could decide what to say, Nakiri Chaoyang beside her was already cold-faced, "I still remember what I told you before I became master's disciple, or the day I entered Nakiri's house earlier. Well, staying with you is because you all agreed to my request. Since you have so much dissatisfaction with my apprenticeship, you can quit now and go back overseas. I don’t need to disrespect my master’s subordinates.”

Sister Lan Changzhi Yu trembled all over, and instantly lowered her head in cold sweat: "No, I'm very sorry! But..."

When she was under pressure and still wanted to say something, she was stopped by her companion directly.

"Master Xinggong." One of the people in the row was dressed most normally, and he looked like a friendly foreign bearded chef who came out and bowed to Yu Li, "Please forgive me for my rudeness before, for our leader, Mr. Chaoyang In fact, we have no objection to all the previous decisions, but there is a little disagreement on who to listen to. As Shaqi said just now, even if you have the name of God of Cooking, you have accepted our leader as a disciple, but in fact we I still care more about Lord Chaoyang."

What the other party said was quite subtle, and Yu Li understood it.

To put it simply, the boss they admired went to be someone else's younger brother, and then they were not very convinced by the boss's boss, and now they still have to be directed by the boss's boss to do things, feeling uncomfortable and awkward, just want to toss.

Brother Chaoyang must have seen it too. Although it is not impossible to suppress forcefully with his methods, the effect is definitely not as good as letting Yu Li, the master, come here by himself.

After all, it is a matter of unifying the world of gourmet food in the country. If the subordinates are not united, it will be difficult to recover if there is a mess at a critical moment.

Out of such considerations, Brother Chaoyang brought him over for Yu Li to torture himself... No, he came to comfort people personally.

"Although I've told them many times that I can't beat you, and the gap is huge, they don't believe it." The boy shrugged helplessly, and then took a few steps back, "I'll leave this group of people to you. Just take a look." A casual attitude that you can tune and teach in any way you want.

Yu Li nodded to express his acceptance, and then turned his head expectantly to the row of special black Taoist craftsmen in front of him: "Do you want to come to eat halberds with me?"

Ever since she defeated Gu Chuan... No, it should have directly destroyed the culinary confidence of the talented pastry chef with malicious intentions at Yuanyue earlier, no one dared to challenge her with a halberd.

After that, all kinds of bad things happened one after another in the world and the world, and I didn't even bother to find someone to learn cooking skills, let alone eating halberds.

To be honest, it's a bit itchy.

When she said this, a row of people across the street took a step back.

It is impossible to eat halberds. They are stupid to engage in food halberds with a kitchen god. Even if Master Chaoyang sent them here to be abused, it is impossible for them to take the initiative to seek abuse.

"We don't want to eat halberds with you, but we just want to exchange technology. Yes, let's have a little discussion!" The bearded chef said weakly at this time, "Although you are the leader of the watch world, small people like us must be Disdain, but we also have our own dignity and pride. I discussed it before coming here, if you can defeat us in our best technology, then I will be willing to be sent by you in the future."

But how is it possible?

In their team, Shaqi, who has the title of "Military Cooker", can use extremely violent methods such as chainsaws, hammers, and even explosives to produce extremely delicate and delicate cooking;

The "kitchen clown" Marcanta has several unique spherical heating pots. When he keeps turning those spherical closed pots like a clown, the ingredients inside will be like a pressure cooker with his own high-speed rotation. Perfectly heated, boiled or grilled or fried;

There is also the blood dish made by "Red Black Executioner" Claude Weller. He carries a device with several syringes on his back, and he will accurately suck the blood from the meat ingredients like a scientific madman , and then use it to make various dishes, or inject seasoning into the ingredients, so that the seasoning inside the ingredients can be directly perfect...

Wait, wait, everyone has those professional-level cooking methods that chefs in the world can't touch. For these unique skills, they have worked hard in the other world, and at the same time they have trained them to their current ability. reached the extreme.As long as they can continue to live, they will never give up the unique skills that have been honed through hard work, and therefore they have the strongest confidence in this aspect of themselves.

No matter what, the people on the opposite side will not be so arrogant all the time, thinking that Master Chaoyang can command them unscrupulously!

The first person in the team to stand up was the red and black executioner. He carried the blood-sucking equipment with several syringes on his back and prepared two pieces of fresh meat taken from the same part of the same cow in front of the kitchen counter. The volumes are exactly the same.

"The taste of meat depends largely on the fiber of the meat and the moisture contained in it, but unlike plants, a considerable part of the moisture contained in meat comes from the blood in the capillaries. Many times when people taste meat dishes, they will feel More or less the fishy smell comes from this. How to discharge it, adjust it, and even make it into a separate dish has always been a topic for chefs."

The cook, who seemed to be Frankenstein, had half his face hidden in an oxygen mask, and hummed.

"The thing I'm going to compare with you now is also very simple. I won't use the sophisticated equipment behind me, but use an ordinary syringe to draw 95% of the blood from the piece of beef in front of me based on experience and feel."

While speaking, he took off the cooking equipment on his body, and then held up two whiteboard syringes without any scales to show everyone.

"There is no difference between the two pieces of meat in terms of quality and volume. If the water is completely drained, about 350 grams of blood can be obtained. 95% of the amount is 332.5 grams. Within 2 minutes, on the premise of maintaining the original shape of the ingredients , whoever completes first or who has a higher degree of completion will win."

Eliminating the blood in meat ingredients is indeed the basic skill of cooks. Even many ordinary people often cook ingredients in this way, but basically they use soaking or blanching.Even if it is a dish that requires blood, the chef himself will only use the more convenient and quick method of bloodletting instead of such a troublesome method to collect blood.

It is extremely troublesome to completely drain and filter out the blood within 2 minutes. Now it is necessary to only eliminate a limited amount based on experience and feel. It is close to completely eliminated but not really completely eliminated. Once it crosses the limit, the whole game will be lost, and It is not allowed to damage the shape of the ingredients themselves, the conditions are very harsh.

But now it's fighting skills, it's another matter.In other words, one party is using its peak strengths to test the bottom line of the other party's skills.

Come on, the uncrowned king who has been recognized by all the culinary circles in Japan before he officially named him, let him see what kind of virtue and ability this person has, so that Master Chaoyang, who is so amazingly talented, bows his head, and even turns to his disciples...

"Is that all right?"

The late-night cook who had only sucked about half of the beef blood with a syringe looked up, and the person behind the counter opposite was already wiping his hands with a towel.In front of her was a piece of beef that had been drained of blood, and the drained blood was placed in a special weighing container and placed on an electronic scale.

332.5 grams, not more than one centimeter, not less than one gram.

"Beef is an old friend of human meat. The fiber texture direction of each part and the division of blood vessels and nerves are no longer secrets. After mastering these, and then using the most traditional massage and blood drainage techniques, I want to do it in a short time. It’s really not that hard to get to this point.”

Putting down the hot towel after wiping his hands, the person concerned smiled and explained briefly.At this time, the timer showed that the time had just passed 1 minute.

The syringe in the hand of the red-and-white executioner fell directly to the ground: "No, it's impossible!"

The person on the opposite side didn't use any props, and only used his hands to drain the blood, and it was accurate to the milligram! ?

"It's possible." Yu Li replied solemnly, "Although I can't say all of them, among the five domestic culinary masters including me, there should be three who can do this."

This is the fundamental reason why master chefs are generally considered to be the apex.

The executioner couldn't bear the blow, and was dragged away by his companions directly.

"I'll be next!" The kitchen clowns with painted faces took turns and took out his row of juggling ball pots, "I'm going to compete with you in stewing meat. Within 10 minutes, a pot can be cooked like a pressure cooker." 2 hours of broth!"

These pots of his are all special heating pots that have been made by a special person time and time again after spending a lot of money and painstaking efforts. They are kitchen utensils tailored for him.The red and black executioner has already paid the price for his arrogance, he would not be so foolish as to confront the person in front of him head-on, and just take out everything he has.

The other party did not panic at all: "Is this a contest on the idea of ​​using fire?" Pointing straight to the core, without dragging the water, "Yes, I am quite confident in controlling the fire."

Less than 10 minutes later, the kitchen clown collapsed and yelled that "monster" was being dragged down by his companions.

After the crushing defeat of the two, the tragic loss of confidence caused the people behind to waver and hesitate involuntarily.

Whether it is necessary to continue in the third round, and who to send if it is really necessary to continue, has become a problem.

Facing Xinggong Yuli, they expected that they might lose, but they never thought that they would lose so badly at the beginning.

Is it really necessary to continue?The cooks in the middle of the night looked at each other, and they all saw each other's hesitation.To be able to live on the dark side until now, in addition to being ruthless and steady, it is also an important skill to judge the situation.

The cooking skills displayed by this one in front of me can be seen with the naked eye, far surpassing Mr. Chaoyang, and during the period of displaying, he is even more comfortable. It can be seen that he did not use his full strength at all. It is really not wrong that their leader bowed his head.

Everyone in the team retreated, except for the armed cook Shaqi.

"You've all been like this from the very beginning, all of you are so useless!" Shaqi scolded, she raised her favorite chainsaw kitchen utensils, and when she pulled the switch, the chainsaw roared, "Since In this way, I will be the next one!"

She turned her head to look at the opposite side, and when she caught the opponent with hostile eyes, the other party was talking to Lord Chaoyang.

"Mr. Chaoyang, can you lend me your two kitchen knives?"

Nakiri Chaoyang, who had been laughing and watching the show, was stunned for a moment, and he handed over the other two kitchen knives at his waist without hesitation.

"Please use it, Master." His face was full of interest. "Could it be that you predicted that Shaqi would compete with you in sword skills, and it would be a time-consuming and labor-intensive subject, so you planned to use it. Two swords go into battle together?"

Saqi's face froze because Nakiri Chaoyang lent out her usual knife without any qualms, it was the shock of being said.

Shaqi suddenly remembered that Xinggong Yuli sent his chefs to break through all the restaurants of Gu Chuan's disciples within a day, and all of Gu Chuan's chefs who were eaten by the halberd were defeated in a targeted manner. It is impossible for people to give pointers behind the scenes.

In other words, it is very possible that the other party can predict the challenge theme she proposed, and even what she will cook in the future.

"Shaqi." A companion behind her held her back, "Forget it." It doesn't make much sense to continue.

The armed chef gritted his teeth, and finally turned his head decisively: "I want to fight her!"

No more than the last time, she lost completely once, she will never be reconciled!

"Do you want to compete with knife skills?" When she looked over, the person opposite raised the kitchen knife in his hand and smiled at her, "Speaking of which, I am most proud of my knife skills."

A few minutes later, a group of late-night cooks who secretly assembled all exited the villa. When they left, their faces were either in a daze or extremely complicated. Among them, the cooks in military dresses almost lost their minds.

They originally thought that the leader Chaoyang's ability to perfectly copy other people's kitchen utensil skills and easily use them for their own use was already a monster-level talent, but now they know what a real monster is like after seeing Xinggong Yuli.

The world has always been confused by her humility and low-key, but in fact, as long as you face it directly on the kitchen counter, you will know that it has never been a big tree that can be climbed, but an unconquerable mountain that can never be climbed. You can't even see the peak at the end.

And in the villa, Yu Li, who was regarded as a monster by those late-night cooks who were also a group of monsters in the eyes of outsiders, was talking to Brother Chaoyang.

"I kind of like Miss Saki."

Lan Changzhi, military uniform and short skirt, Yujie's figure and personality, can't be more irritating and reasonable.

It's a pity that the other party doesn't like her, but is loyal to Brother Chaoyang.

But this is also a cute point.

After hearing this, Nakiri Chaoyang was delighted: "I bet the reason you like her is definitely not because she likes it."

"Hahaha, is it so obvious?" Yu Li also laughed, "Actually, those of your subordinates don't have much resentment towards me, and the only one who is very hostile is Miss Shaqi. Does she like you, Mr. Chaoyang, so she is very worried. Are you dissatisfied with me accepting you as a disciple?"

The relationship between Yu Li and Nakiri Chaoyang is not so much a model of a master and a disciple, but rather a teacher and a friend.This young man who has worked hard alone since he was a child and even reached the top of the world has a mature mind, and ordinary people of the same age cannot compare with him.

In addition, she has been discussing with him all the matters of infiltrating and integrating the world, so it is really impossible to simply put him in the position of a disciple or a junior.Chaoyang has a cheerful and humorous personality, and Yu Li sometimes jokes with him.

In the end, the joke made the person involved stunned.

"You mean Shaqi? How is it possible?" The young man waved his hand, "When I recruited her, she was desperate and had nowhere to go, so she was deeply obsessed with the team I built. I joined the Nakiri family and gave up the position of leader At that time, she had always reacted very strongly, and now that I have become your disciple again, her resentment may have shifted and she blamed it all on you."

But no amount of dissatisfaction will be a problem after today.

"That's it." Yu Li nodded and did not continue this topic, but looked down at the kitchen knife on his waist, remembering that this person likes to ask for kitchen utensils from opponents, "Speaking of which, Mr. Chaoyang, you Xiang Ying in the BLUE contest Shijun won the grinding knife, did you return it to him?"
