Food: I was a cartoonist in Totsuki

The snapper sank to the bottom of the sea again and then disappeared.

After the king came to his senses, he hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and tasted different types of snapper fillets.

What Tong Yu made this time was not the traditional recipe "Maple Sea Bream Continent Map", but also a sublimated version, which included four of the eight major Chinese cuisines.

"Fei Sha, boss lady and boss, please come and have a taste. He will never be able to eat so much by himself..." Tong Yu said and put the three sets of bowls and chopsticks aside.

Then, Fei Shao, the boss, and the proprietress gathered around, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and tasted the snapper cooked in different ways.

After tasting the first bite, all three of them looked shocked.

"This... this snapper tastes so delicious! This part is wrapped in fish skin and then drizzled with steaming red oil. This method is similar to Sichuan cuisine in terms of spiciness. But although it is very spicy , but combined with vegetables, red peppers and seasonings, it creates an indescribable taste in the mouth!" the boss praised with a blush on his face.

"Is this part the fish head? The fish head is topped with a lot of chopped pepper, and then steamed. The spicy taste is also fascinating." The proprietress said with an intoxicated face.

"And cutting it into slices and pairing it with dipping sauce is the famous 'Peking duck' method in Chinese cuisine, right?"

Fei Shasha's face also had a reddish look of intoxication. The three of them also had the same "hallucination" as the king. They only felt that they were on the beach, lying on the beach chairs leisurely basking in the sun, so 3.2 Uncomfortable.

After tasting the food continuously, the king reluctantly put down the chopsticks in his hand, with an uncertain look on his face: "Why... why, what's going on? Using such ordinary ingredients, you can cook such a deep taste. This dish It’s obviously very ordinary!”

Hearing this, Tong Yu smiled broadly.

Seeing this, the king immediately asked: "What method did you use, and in a certain way of cooking this sea bream, you added a very special seasoning."

"A very special seasoning?"

Everyone was startled.

……

Chapter 229 Come to an end

The king looked in disbelief. He couldn't believe that this seemingly inconspicuous sea bream dish could have such a high-end 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 rosy with honey. He looked at Tong Yu in front of him and said in disbelief: "And the sauce in this dish is 'Gumbo' from my hometown!"

"Gumbo?" Both the boss lady and the boss looked confused.

Feisha explained: "Gumbo, rather than a seasoning, is actually a dish. The name of this dish is 'gumbo'."

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

It is made primarily from umami stock, okra, meat or shellfish, thickeners and dried vegetables; dried vegetables can include celery, bell peppers and onions.

Gumbo is also often classified as a dish that uses a thickening agent, such as the African plant okra, the Choctaw Nation's spicy ferrie, or roux.The French base, on the other hand, uses flour and fat as a thickening agent.

When Tong Yu made the "Sichuan part" of snapper meat, he added some of this sauce to the chili.

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.

"What...what's going on? Why does Tong Yujun know his birthplace?" Fei Shasha asked in confusion.

That's right, whether it's okra or gumbo, they are the king's favorite things.

It's not that the king can't accept dishes made with low-grade ingredients, but he can only accept dishes made with ingredients he likes.

"Accidental, this is definitely an accident. How is this possible? I didn't even mention this ingredient, nor did I mention my favorite flavors and ingredients, but you actually made it. Isn't this a coincidence?" The king looked at Tong. Yu said loudly.

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

To put it bluntly, it is insight.

This is the case with Liu Pleiades. His insights and observations are countless beyond those of ordinary people.In the process of becoming a special chef, he used such insight to solve a difficult problem.

There was a county magistrate named Mr. Bao who was born and raised in cool Beijing and was transferred to the south to be a county magistrate because he couldn't stand the scorching heat!No matter how delicious the chefs made it, I couldn't eat it at all and was extremely upset.

Many restaurants in the small county were closed due to this incident. Liu Pleiaxing passed by and saw Master Bao's situation, so he made a refreshing and appetizing "sour plum and egg fried rice", which stimulated his appetite and successfully saved the small county. Many restaurants.

This is also one of Liu Pleiades' abilities, and Tong Yu has integrated all his abilities, and this powerful insight has also been integrated into it.

In addition, Tong Yu knew the original work and knew the food and cuisine the king liked, which was a matter of course.

And then...

"This is a very simple thing. Just give me a simple example. Depending on your language, intonation and accent, it is very similar to the Spanish spoken by many people in Mexico. It has a unique local accent. This is absolutely true. "Tong Yu said calmly.

The king was startled after hearing this. It was not impossible to determine the place of birth from the accent. In fact, as long as he had been to the local area, he could easily identify it.

Seeing the king's dazed look, Tong Yu continued: "Then your dressing style and the way you speak are very similar to those in the United States, so I guess you were born in Mexico. Furthermore, when I met you before, you When passing by a food stall, I took a few more glances at the Mexican shrimp the stall owner put on it, and then judged that you had eaten Gumbo. Isn’t that difficult?”

Except for Fei Shasha, everyone else showed shocked expressions.

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

Not to mention accurately judging the food that this "late night cook" likes to eat, even guessing which country he is from requires enough insight.

237 "This...are these all your guesses?"

The boss knew that Tong Yu's cooking ability was very strong, but he didn't expect that his insight was so outrageous, and the dish he made was beyond his imagination.

It took a long time for the king to come back to his senses, but he still couldn't accept the fact that he had been "seen through": "No, I still can't believe it. This... this is absolutely impossible. Who are you? What do you use?" What kind of trick was used? It must have been some kind of trick, right?"

"Hey, you are so ungrateful. Even if we make the food you like, you still think we are playing tricks!" Fei Shasha said.

The king shook his head and said: "No, even so, your understanding of the dishes from 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 always pursue the pure enjoyment of cooking like this. This is true, but you can never understand the true meaning of cooking."

……

Chapter 230 Erina’s call

Tong Yu's words stunned the king. These words made him realize something.

Not only the king, Fei Shasha, the boss, and the landlady all understood some of the true meanings of cooking.

Tong Yu continued, "Being a king does not mean that you have to rule over everyone, because if you want to be warmly entertained as a king, then you don't need to come to Japan! You just need to stay in top-notch hotels at home and abroad. For a suite, it can be easily achieved, but you didn’t do this, why is that?”

"..." The king was startled again.

"Because you like Japanese hot spring streets very much. They have a very magical attraction that makes you feel that this place gives people a nostalgic and inseparable feeling. A kind of nostalgic emotion will inadvertently emerge here. You Don't look at me so surprised, because I sometimes feel like this." Tong Yu said with a faint smile on her face.

At this time, Feishao also stood up and said: "Tong Yujun is absolutely right. What you said to us on the way to Yiming Hotel was all from the heart. But you put these words In my heart, I think it’s my own fault, so I go to these hot spring hotels that don’t satisfy you for the time being.”

"This may be the so-called 'love breeds hatred'." Tong Yu said.

Most of the late-night cooks are a bunch of scoundrels, just like the murderers Tong Yu subdued on Rebun Island.

However, there are a few people who have not completely fallen into darkness, just like the king in front of them.

Tong Yu could tell that the king in front of him was a chef with dreams and feelings, so he went to such great lengths to slowly convince him that if it were anyone else, he could suppress him with force.

Of course, besides this, Tong Yu has another purpose.

When the king heard what Tong Yu and Fei Shasha said, he slowly lowered his head. At this moment, he couldn't refuse the delicious food in front of him.

This delicacy, which is mainly composed of sea bream, also incorporates ingredients from his hometown and is cooked with exquisite techniques, which he simply cannot refuse.

Picked up the chopsticks again and started eating bite by bite.

The sea bream meat keeps coming into your mouth, and the deliciousness spreads and explodes in your mouth!

Well!

Delicious, really delicious!

This feeling of nostalgia makes people gradually succumb.

-Time dividing line-

The next day, noon.

Tong Yu walked out of the kitchen and delivered a freshly prepared side dish to the king.

"Okay, you can taste it quietly here. Today's dish is also your hometown dish 'Cactus Stir-fried Green and Red Pepper'々?????????觧? Side?秧??

Cacti, in the eyes of many people, are plants that can only be used for sightseeing, but this is not the case.

In Mexico, some cacti can be used for cooking, and the dishes they make are quite delicious.

Mexico is an ancient civilization in Central America. In addition to its many monuments, its beautiful scenery of the Caribbean Sea is even more attractive, and its food is rich.Because it was once ruled by Spain and influenced by ancient Indian culture, the dishes are mainly hot and sour.

Chili peppers have become an indispensable food for Mexicans.There are estimated to be over a hundred types of chili peppers produced in Mexico, with colors ranging from fiery red to dark brown. As for the spiciness, the thinner they are, the spicier they are. You can use this as a criterion when choosing.

The fried cactus pepper is a unique local dish.

"Oh, today's cooking looks very good, thank you, little brother Tong Yu."

After the king finished speaking, he picked up his fork and started eating. His happy look was completely different from yesterday.

The proprietress happened to be passing by this way, and when she saw this scene she couldn't help but said: "Um, have you completely obeyed? It's so peaceful that people can't imagine that he is the 'late night chef'."

Hearing this, the king's expression suddenly changed, and he returned to his fearsome cold smile: ". "I must declare in advance that considering the cooking done by Brother Tong Yu, the incident of Shi Ji will be treated as if nothing happened. .And I’m just barely trying to taste this delicious breakfast.”

Seeing this, Fei Shasha couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "You are really merciless, but the 'Late Night Cooker' can be so cooperative with us, which is already very good."

At some point, the captain also rushed in, with a blazing fire in his eyes: "Hey, foreigners, let's have a competition. My arm has recovered today, and I will definitely beat you this time."

The king glanced at the boss with disdain, then turned his eyes to the food in front of him and continued eating: "Hey, the missing Kazami Hot Spring and Gojinshang Villa have also resumed business, and this matter has come to an end for the time being. No, I don’t want to fight again with my defeated general!”

"Damn it, you actually underestimate me!"

"Okay, okay, Captain, just calm down for a while. And with all due respect, you are no match for him."

"Ah, even Tong Yujun said so. It seems that my cooking skills need more practice!"

The matter seems to have been resolved, several closed hotels have resumed business, and the nearby hot spring street has also returned to its former tranquility.

After two days of this, when Tong Yu and Fei Shao were about to end their "sweet trip", Nakiri Erina called He.
