Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 228: Insight

The king’s expression was filled with disbelief. He couldn’t believe that this seemingly inconspicuous fish dish had such an advanced taste.

“Why, why does it have such a deep taste, it’s obviously using low-grade ingredients, but it has such a high-grade taste.

The king’s face was ruddy with honey, and looking at the disbelieving child in front of him, he said loudly: “And the sauce in this dish is ‘Gumbo’ from my hometown!”

“Gumbo?” The lady boss and the captain both looked puzzled.

Explains Hisako: “Gumbo, rather than a seasoning, is actually a dish, and the name of the dish is ‘Gumbo. ”

Gumbo is a dish that originated in southern Louisiana and was invented by Louisiana Creoles in the 18th century.

It is mainly made of umami stock, okra, meat or shellfish, thickeners and dried vegetables; dried vegetables may contain celery, bell peppers and onions.

Gumbo is also often classified as a dish that uses thickeners such as the African plant okra, the Choctaw spicy ferry, or oil pasta sauces. The French base, on the other hand, uses flour and oils to make thickeners.

And Tong Yu added some of this sauce to the chilli when he made the “Sichuan part” of the crocodile meat.

It can also be said that the main ingredient of this dish is okra.

Needless to say, okra is a very common ingredient for chefs.

“This, what’s going on, why does Lord Tong Yu know his birthplace?” Hisako wondered.

That’s right, whether it’s okra or okra bisque, it’s the king’s favorite thing.

It is not that the king cannot accept dishes made from low-grade ingredients, but only the ingredients he likes.

“Accidentally, it’s definitely an accident. How is this possible, I didn’t even mention this ingredient, and I didn’t say my favorite flavor and ingredients, but you actually made it, this is not an accident!” The king looked at Tong Yu said loudly.

Observing the diners and making their favorite dishes without any expression or disclosure of the diners is also a skill of the chef.

In other words, insight.

This is the case with Liu Subaru, his insight and observation surpasses countless ordinary people. In the process of becoming a super chef, he solved a difficult problem with such insight.

There is a county magistrate, Mr. Bao, who was born and raised in the cool Beijing, and was transferred to the south to be the magistrate, because he couldn’t stand the hot weather! No matter how delicious the chefs are, I can’t eat it at all. , but very upset.

Many restaurants in the small county were closed because of this incident. Liu Angxing passed by here and saw the situation of Mr. Bao, so he made a refreshing and appetizing “fried rice with sour plum and egg”, which stimulated his appetite and successfully rescued the small county. Many restaurants.

This is also one of Liu Angxing’s abilities, and Tong Yu has integrated all his abilities, and this powerful insight is also integrated into it.

In addition to Tong Yuyu and knowing the original work, it is natural to see the food and cuisine that the king likes to eat.

And there is…

“It’s a very simple thing, just to give an example. Depending on your language and intonation and your accent, it’s a lot like the Spanish spoken by a lot of people in Mexico, with a unique accent, and you can’t go wrong. “Dong Yu said lightly.

The king was stunned when he heard it. It is not impossible to judge the birthplace from the accent. In fact, as long as you have been to the place, you can easily identify it.

Seeing the stunned look of the king, Tong Yu continued: “Come again, your style of dressing and the way you speak are very similar to those in the United States, so I guess you were born in Mexico. Come again, when I met you before. , When you pass by a food stall, you look a few more times when the stall owner puts Mexican shrimp, and then you can judge that you have eaten Gumbo, isn’t it difficult?

Except for Hisako, the others were all shocked.

How much insight does it take to predict this kind of thing?

Not to mention accurately judging the dishes that this “late-night cook” likes to eat, even if you want to guess which country he is from, you need enough insight.

250 “Is this, these are all your speculations?”

The director knew that Tong Yu’s culinary skills were very strong, but he didn’t expect his insight to be so outrageous, and the dish he made was something he couldn’t imagine.

The king came back to his senses after a long time, but he still couldn’t accept the fact that he was “see through”: “No, I still can’t believe it, this, this is absolutely impossible, who are you holy? What gimmick? There must be some gimmick, right?”

“Hey, you’re too rude, you made your favorite dishes and you think we’re doing tricks!” Hisako said.

The king shook his head and said: “No, even so, just knowing the dishes of my hometown is not enough to conquer me, but why does this dish have such great power?”

Tong Yu shook his head: “It seems that you really don’t understand, no wonder you keep pursuing the pure enjoyment of cooking like this, it’s true, but you can never understand the true meaning of cooking.
