Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 76: Cooking Heart

“It turns out that you are the author of “China One”!”

Jōichirō’s originally calm face showed a look of surprise, but he quickly returned to his normal expression, saying: “I am also your fan, your new work “The Captive of Food” is so wonderful, I am still waiting for you to update it.

Thank you “Senior Caibo for your support, I will work harder to create better works, but I also hope that you will not spread the word about the fact that I am a comic author. I don’t want others to disturb my life.

“Don’t worry, I will keep it a secret for you.

After everyone was polite, they sat down around the table.

At this point, more than a dozen dishes have been placed on the table, all cooked by Jōichirō.

“Okay, then let’s toast together!” Jōichirō took the lead and invited him.

Wen Xu also followed by holding up the juice in the glass and said: “To celebrate the selection of all members of the Polar Star: Autumn Trials, let’s toast together!”

Except for Sōma and Wenxu, it was the first time for everyone to dine with Jōichirō, but Jōichirō showed an affinity, so that everyone didn’t feel restrained at all, and the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious.

After toasting together, everyone couldn’t wait to taste the dishes made by Jōichirō-.

After all, it was the second table of Elite Ten, so they were looking forward to it.

Jōichirō’s cuisine did not disappoint everyone, the taste was quite outstanding, and even Tong Yu couldn’t help but admire it in his heart.

Moreover, there is also an obvious feature in Jōichirō cuisine. After eating, it seems that there are scenes of foreign countries that have never been before.

That’s right, Jōichirō has traveled all over the world as a “wandering chef”, drawing on local cooking techniques and creativity, and his dishes will always give people unexpected and unique tastes.

For example, Tong Yu is tasting this “lamb meat”, which is a paste on the lamb, which is a kind of sauce called “harissa” from North Africa.

Not to mention making this sauce, few people have even heard of it. And Jōichirō made this sauce, but it can’t be improved on the original basis to make the taste more delicious.

As expected of a man called “Shura”, his cooking skills are indeed nothing to say.

And these dishes on the table are still his random creations. If they are dishes cooked with all his heart, the taste will be even higher.

Tong Yu tried a few things, it wasn’t that these dishes didn’t suit his appetite, but that they were more delicious than most of the dishes he had tasted before. He was afraid that he would not be able to control his appetite and ate all the food on the table.

While tasting Jōichirō’s cuisine, Tong Yu also found a problem.

Every dish of Jōichirō’s casual cooking is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it is difficult for his casual cooking to achieve this effect.

Of course, Tong Quanquan Yu cooking can also do this, but it is more labor-intensive to do it, and it can’t reach the realm of Jōichirō’s freewheeling.

Tong Yu thinks that this is not a lack of “talent” or “ability”. You must know that he now has Liu Angxing’s four major abilities and “super touch”. In terms of “ability”, Jōichirō is definitely incomparable.

Zhang Yu felt that this should be some problem with “mood”, but he couldn’t say exactly where the problem occurred.

Due to the “quality” of the dinner, everyone was satisfied.

After the celebration was over, everyone left, leaving only father and son Sōma and Jōichirō in the kitchen. Everyone knew that the two had not seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say.

The two father and son chatted until late at night before preparing to leave the kitchen. At this time, Tong Yu just returned to the room.

The food at the celebration just now did not satisfy Tong Yu’s appetite at all, so he was going to get some more food in the kitchen.

Seeing the two of Jōichirō still in the kitchen, Tong Yu simply stepped forward and said, “Senior Caibo, I have something I want to ask you about.”

“Huh?” Sōma asked suspiciously.

Because the two father and son have been chatting, the “endgame” left by everyone in the kitchen has not been cleaned up.

As soon as Jōichirō heard that Tong Yu was looking for him, he used it as a reason to leave immediately, and threw the washing of the dishes to Sōma.

“Okay, let’s go outside and talk, it’s a bit boring to stay in the house for too long.

“Hey, Dad, you are too cunning, the bowl hasn’t been washed yet!

Jōichirō pretended not to hear and went to the vegetable patch behind Polar Star Dorm with Tong Yu.

“Student Tong Yu, thank you for taking care of Zhen Chuang. Jōichirō stopped and said to Tong Yu.

When Jōichirō said this, he obviously learned from Sōma that Tong Yu helped Sōma improve his cooking skills and exercise his physical fitness.

…for flowers…………

“It’s not about taking care of him, it’s just giving him a way to train. Senior Caibo, I’ll just say it directly, I’m here to ask you to explain my doubts.

Tong Yu shared his feelings and doubts after tasting the Jōichirō dishes just now.

After hearing this, Jōichirō was surprised again, and this time he was so surprised that he didn’t even speak.

Seeing Jōichirō’s expression, Tong Yu thought that there was something wrong with his cooking skills, and couldn’t help but frown slightly: “Senior Caibo, am I in such a bad situation?

“No, you will feel this way about the dishes, it shows that you already have the heart of the country!” Jōichirō came back to his senses.

“Chuck heart? What is that.” Tong Yu wondered.

“Simply put, patience is a cook’s emotion towards a dish, conveying his will and ‘mood’ to diners so that they can experience your emotions from the dish,” Jōichirō explained.

0…………

Hearing Jōichirō explain this, one thing Tong Yu immediately thought of was “must-kill dishes”.

Tong Yu remembers that there is a saying in the original book that “a dish with originality and ingenuity, it’s not enough to just have an intoxicating taste, but when people can taste the dish, the chef of the dish emerges from the bottom of his heart”.

“Patience” and “must-kill dishes” have similarities, and it can be said that there is an inevitable connection.

Seeing Tong Yu’s epiphany, Jōichirō couldn’t help but continue: “The heart of the country exists in the heart of the chef, and it will be reflected in the dishes through cooking. You feel that it is difficult to control it, probably because your “heart” is still I’m not mature enough, as long as I work hard, I can drive as much as I want in the future.”

“I understand, now my heart is just a prototype, isn’t it?

“Yes, once your heart matures, your culinary skills will definitely increase dramatically.

Jōichirō’s remarks made Tong Yu stunned. When he integrated Liu Angxing’s abilities before, he always felt that something was missing, and he also felt difficult when using these abilities.

At the same time, when “re-engraving” recipes, I always find it difficult to control, all because the “heart” is not perfect.

After having an epiphany, Tong Yu also found a way to break through the “Dragon Chef”.
