Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 151: “The Prodigal Son” Yan Xian

The Dunhuang Kitchen Tower, like Lou Linjian, is a stone pagoda built by the people in the dark cooking world with the painstaking efforts of several generations.

The stone pagoda is not high, only about 20 meters in height, with a total of three floors.

However, the terrain of this stone pagoda is very special. The main entrance of the stone pagoda faces the ancient city of Dunhuang, while behind the stone pagoda it faces the cliff. At the bottom of the cliff, you can still see many piles of bones and wooden coffins.

Tong Yu and Yanxian came to the second floor of the stone tower, which is also a place dedicated to cooking.

Behind Tong Yu stood only Luo Meng, and behind Yan Xian followed Yang Shi- and Lai He.

The rest of the people in the dark cooking world are guarding outside to prevent others from entering.

I don’t need to say more about this place, Yanxian, as a person from the dark cooking world, you are no stranger to “Dunhuang Kitchen Tower.” Dong Yu said to Yanxian.

Yanxian raised the wine jar with one hand and took a sip before opening his mouth: “I heard about it before, but this is the first time I have come here. This place was built seven hundred years ago, and there have been famous chefs here since the Song Dynasty. There are countless culinary battles, and it is a holy place for cooking. The traditional “Dunhuang-style cooking showdown” is held here, but it is also the tombstone of the chefs.

“You’re right, everyone who loses in this kitchen will fall under the cliff behind the tower, and it won’t take long for their bones to be scattered in the desert of Dunhuang, and finally disappear with the wind. However, this It was the rule of the dark cooking world in the past, and starting from this battle, history will be rewritten.” Tong Yu said.

After saying this, Yan Xian’s deep eyes contained a hint of surprise, but it was fleeting.

“Hey, it looks like you don’t want my life.”

Yan Xian’s giggling smirk was similar to that of Sōma when he was mentally retarded.

“Why do you want to kill me? I’m still waiting to drink with you. If you don’t get drunk, you won’t return. However, you look like you’re almost drunk. Can you really show your strength against me like this?” Tong Yu asked.

After saying this, he directly held the big wine jug with both hands and drank, until he felt full after drinking, and then he stopped.

“You’re wrong, the more I drink and the more drunk I get, the more sensitive my ears and the stronger my cooking skills will be.” Yan Xian burped after he finished speaking.

Tong Yu knows that Yanxian has “super-hearing”, his hearing is excellent, and he also has the stunt “super-sonic cooking”. With his hearing, he can know whether the dish is delicious just by listening to the making process of the dish.

This stunt is even more exaggerated than “super smell” and “super taste.

Tong Yu naturally wanted to get this stunt, and he couldn’t rise in this duel, whether it was for stunts or legends.

“I see, so how drunk are you now?” Tong Yu asked again with a smile.

“About six or seven points drunk, what do you want to compare with me?”

As for the theme of the showdown, Tong Yu had already thought about it for a long time, and said: “Since the showdown is taking place in Dunhuang, then the theme should naturally choose the local specialties that can only be found in Dunhuang, so let’s use one of the Eight Treasures of the North as the theme, the Camel Hall, how about it? ”

Camel is one of the famous specialties of Dunhuang, the whole body is full of treasures, especially the palm is the most valuable.

Tuotang is four soft hooves as big as a futon. Because it is the most active tissue in the camel’s body, its meat is extraordinarily delicate and elastic, like tendons and softer. Its meat is tender and nutritious, and it has always been as famous as the bear’s paw, bird’s nest, and monkey head, and is one of the “Four Famous Dishes” in the Celestial Dynasty.

At present, the “Eight Treasures of the North” used by the imperial court in this world is one of them.

Whether it is modern or this place, camedo is a precious ingredient, even in a place like Tōtsuki Resort, it depends on luck if you want to eat camedo.

As for the Beibazhen, it is also called the Mongolian Bazhen, which is used for eight delicacies of high-level banquets. It is a feasting custom of the ancient Mongolians. Popular in northern China.

Its components are daigo, egg, wild camel’s hoof, deer lips, rattan, swan, yuan jade pulp, purple jade pulp.

“The camel’s palm is indeed a very good ingredient, so just use it.” Yanxian didn’t have any opinion on the theme.

“The people in charge of tasting the dishes are Luo Meng and you two.” Dong Yu raised his finger and pointed at Yang Shi and Lai He.

Yan Xian couldn’t help laughing after hearing this: “Aren’t you afraid that the two of them will take sides with me when they taste the food, then you won’t have any chance of winning.

“If they had the last conscience as chefs, they wouldn’t make the decision to trick their tongues. Without further ado, let’s start right away. The cooking showdown will end, just before sunset!” Tong Yu said.

 …for flowers  …

In this Dunhuang kitchen tower, there are many fresh ingredients. In addition to the main ingredients, the common markets on the market are also complete, so there is no need to worry about the shortage of ingredients.

Even if a certain ingredient is insufficient, everyone in the dark cooking world who is responsible for “watching” outside can immediately go to Dunhuang City to buy it back.

Finally, Tong Yu and Yanxian’s culinary duel begins. ,

The words are divided into two parts. When Tong Yuyu and Yanxian had a cooking showdown, Kaiyu also successfully “intercepted” Liu Subaru and his party, and also started a cooking showdown.

But their culinary duel isn’t as simple as betting on legendary kitchen utensils.

Meanwhile, the real world.

Tōtsuki Gakuen’s Tsukishima Festival has finally opened.

Except for Kobayashi Rentan, the Tōtsuki Elite Ten, the other Elite Ten participated in this moon birth festival.

This Moon Festival is an excellent opportunity to show cooking skills to many VIP guests and partners of Tōtsuki, and at the same time make a lot of money. Even Elite Tens can’t remember this temptation.

Many people also thought that Tong Yu, an Elite Ten who had just been promoted, would not seize this opportunity to show himself, but they did not expect that he would apply for a booth at all, which disappointed those who were not expecting.

And at the beginning of the Moon Festival, Nakiri Ji’s plan was nearing completion, only one last step left.

Back in the world of comics, Tong Yu and Yan first started a war.

In order to conquer Yanxian’s “prodigal son” and convince him, Tong Yu did not use the legendary kitchen utensils, but used ordinary kitchen knives to cook.

Yan Xian also saw this, and was shocked again in his heart.

At this time, one hour has passed since the cooking time, and the sun outside the country is gradually setting, revealing the afterglow of the evening red.

Although both sides are dry learning as the main ingredients, the ingredients used are quite different.

Yan first put the camel’s palm and camel meat into a large pot and simmered, while Tong Yu processed the camel hall separately, and finally put it on a steamer for steaming.

Although the cooking methods are different, without exception, the deliciousness of the camel’s palm is stimulated, and the whole kitchen tower exudes an indescribable fragrance.
