Food: I was a cartoonist in Totsuki

"You... what do you mean by that?"

"Haha, you should know what it means tomorrow. Liu Pleiades, be mentally prepared, Ao Lufa may be your 'old friend'."

After Tong Yu finished saying this, he left directly and came to meet Yakan and others under the beacon tower.

"Sir, I seem to have seen that chef named Ao Lufa somewhere." Yakan said after seeing Tong Yu, he came to him.

"kindness?"

Tong Yu looked at Yakan with a bit of surprise and said, "Why, did you also find something?"

Yakan nodded and said with a serious face: "If it is really that person, things may become serious."

"Master Tong Yu, Yakan and others, what are you talking about? Who is that person?" Li Ke couldn't help but interjected and asked.

Nakiri Erina, Sakaki Ryoko and others also looked puzzled.

Tong Yu looked at the other people around him: "Let's go back to the inn first."

"Yes!"

Two hours later, in the inn of the Imperial Capital

Tong Yu is sitting in the room, surrounded by die-hard fans such as Ryoko Sakaki and Erina Nakiri, but no one else.

"What? You said that the chef named Ao Lufa's true identity is Liu Maliu, the father of Liu Pleiades!"

"Keep your voice down, Soma, don't let others hear it!"

When Tong Yu told several die-hard fans about his guess, they were all surprised to varying degrees.

In "Zhonghua Ichiban", it is clearly told that Liu Subaru's father is no longer alive, and there is no record of him in the comics.

But in "Zhonghua Yiban???Translation???Qiao?蘧???戦??訨???绤?仧?"

The only comic published by Tong Yu is the first one, and the second one is "々????駦?て?≥鍍英 Number?"

In fact, the development of the story about the Tai Chi cooking world should only appear in "Chi", but now it appears in advance.Well, it can only explain that the world has changed due to the arrival of Tong Yu and others, and the butterfly effect has begun to occur.

"It's strange. You created the manga Tong Yu-kun, Chuka Ichiban, and the 'setting' was also carried out by you. Why did the finals change?" Tadokoro also noticed this and asked.

Indeed, the original Forbidden City cooking competition was the final battle between Kaiyou and others and Liu Pleiades and others, but now four people have appeared.

"It should be that our arrival broke the rules of this world, so things outside of the plot happened." Kuga Terukiya said.

"No matter what, we must get all the legendary kitchen utensils. Now we only need the two jade dragon pots from the palace. After getting them, we can go to the world of 'Prisoners of Food'. That ingredient is our ultimate goal." Nakiri E Rina said.

Meisaku Subaru, who had been silent all this time, was sitting on the stool. At this time, he also spoke: "If Ao Lufa is really Liu Subaru's father, tomorrow's showdown should be taken seriously. His strength should be the same as what we encountered before. The strongest existence among our opponents.”

"..."

Of course Tong Yu also knew this, and he would definitely not be able to defeat Ao Lufa without showing some special skills.

Moreover, there is also the Tai Chi cooking community that is hiding in the dark and launching attacks at any time. They are ready to take action and have coveted the legendary kitchen utensils for a long time. They cannot miss this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Tong Yu felt that a series of preparations were needed.

"You all go out and leave me alone for a while." Tong Yu said to everyone.

Everyone knew that Tong Yu had to make corresponding preparations for tomorrow's game.

As the new leader of the dark cooking world, Tong Yu has many things to deal with.

……

At the same time, in another inn in the imperial capital.

After returning to the room, Ao Lufa did not take off his mask, sat in front of the table, picked up a glass of water and put it into his mouth.

There are also servants wearing Sichuan opera masks and waiting around.

"."Sir, I feel that your identity has been exposed. People in the Tai Chi cooking world may have noticed us."

"It doesn't matter. Tomorrow's competition will be held in the palace, and the movements of the Tai Chi cooking community are greatly restricted. Liu Pleiades' strength has exceeded my expectations and he has lived up to my expectations for him over the years."

Having said this, Ao Lufa looked a little pleased under the mask.

"That's true, but your opponent tomorrow seems to be very strong. He can defeat Kai Yu to unify the dark cooking world. This strength is by no means ordinary."

"I feel it...even though I haven't played against him, I feel great energy from this person. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game!" Ao Lufa said with a smile on his lips.

Ao Lufa's men were a little surprised when they heard what he said.

After so many years, this was the first time I heard him say something like this, and the opponent was still just a boy who looked like he was no more than 20 years old.

I thought Liu Pleiades was a genius, but this boy named Tong Yu turned out to be a genius among geniuses.

"Sir, this young man is too powerful and has too much mystery about him. I feel that he can restore the entire order of the Chinese cuisine world and defeat the group of people in the Tai Chi cuisine world."

Ao Lufa was silent for a long time after hearing this, and said, "Maybe."

……

Chapter 271 Ao Lufa’s story continues

The next day, the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

Directly above the main hall, the current emperor is already sitting in the golden palace, and sitting next to him is the Queen Mother of the West.

On both sides there are Zhu Yuan and other chefs, and even the retired Master Longman is here.

In addition, there are also officials such as Admiral Li.

Outside the main hall, many chefs such as Soma Yukihira, Erina Nakiri, Akan, Liu Subaru, etc. are already waiting here.

In the middle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Tong Yu and Ao Lufa were ready in front of two temporary cooking stations.

All around, you can see officers and soldiers wearing yellow clothes waiting here to protect the safety and prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Yuan came to the emperor and the Queen Mother and said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, we are almost ready. Do you want the game to start?"

After hearing this, the emperor looked at the Queen Mother and asked in a requesting tone: "Queen Mother, do you want the game to begin now?"

"Well, let's start."

"Since it's the Queen Mother's birthday, it's up to you to designate the theme of the final competition. Just say 257 what you want to eat."

The Queen Mother of the West thought for a moment and then said: "Yesterday, the Ai family had a lot of delicious food. It is up to you, Your Majesty, to make the decision this time."

The emperor was not a wordy person. After thinking for a while, he stood up, came to the front and faced Ao Lufa and Tong Yu below, and said: "I eat a lot of food on weekdays, including all the delicacies from the mountains and seas in the world. Taste, if you eat too much, you will get tired of it. So, I also want to change my appetite."

Having said this, the emperor paused and said: "Well, recently I suddenly wanted to eat a Cantonese dish. I had this dish once decades ago, in a small restaurant. At that time, I was transformed into a commoner, and the chef didn't He knows my identity, but the dish made by that chef was quite delicious, and I can’t forget it to this day. After I returned to the palace, I also asked the dragon chefs to make it once, but they still couldn’t make it taste like that.”

After saying this, Chef Zhu Yuan and other chefs looked a little confused.

The food prepared by the dignified chef Long is not as good as the food prepared by an unknown chef.

The emperor was also a shrewd man, and immediately said: "The taste is very unique. It's not that Chef Long's skills are not good, it should be that the chef used special ingredients or unknown techniques..."

When Tong Yu heard this, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what is the name of the dish you are talking about?"

"Grilled chicken."

The emperor mentioned the dish that he had been thinking about ten years ago and said: "This dish is not a royal dish. Even ordinary families can make it, but the taste will be different. Therefore, I ask you to make this dish." . But there are quite a few of you here today, so the second request is for 50 people."

Oil-soaked chicken is a traditional Guangdong dish.

It belongs to Cantonese cuisine, the main ingredient is chicken, and the main cooking technique is oil pouring.

Oil frying is a special frying method in cooking technology, which is suitable for fresh and tender raw materials. It not only promotes the crispiness of fried vegetables, but also retains the characteristics of fresh and tender raw materials.

Therefore, the characteristics of this dish are fresh, smooth and tender. In some places, green peppercorns and rattan pepper oil are added to increase the "numbing" texture.

"It's actually fried chicken. This is Guangzhou cuisine."

Ji Di, who was born in Guangzhou, knows this dish best.

"Master, what does 'youlin' mean?" Shiro asked Liu Pleiades.

Liu Pleiax explained: "'Lin' means pouring sauce. 'Youlin' is a cooking method in which oil is poured on the meat and fried."

"That's right, cut the freshly fried whole chicken into large pieces, add it with sweet vinegar and soy sauce, add minced ginger, minced green onions, minced garlic and sesame oil to make the sauce, and drizzle it on. This is a Cantonese dish. Famous dishes~~" Meili couldn't help but swallow her saliva after finishing speaking.

This dish can be said to be the favorite of ordinary people in Guangzhou. Because it is simple to make and delicious, it is loved by many people.

"I thought it would be the same as yesterday, with a very special or unseen cuisine as the theme of the showdown, but I didn't expect it to be 'oil-soaked chicken'!" Gangbang Xie said slowly, a little surprised.

Jidi also said: "Although oil-soaked chicken originated in Guangzhou, it is a Cantonese cuisine. However, the cooking methods are similar in different places. Sichuan, Fujian, and even the north have different methods. Over time, even in Guangzhou, there are also alternative methods. .”

"Master Jidi means...the oil-soaked chicken that His Majesty the Emperor ate ten years ago was an improvement based on tradition?" Liu Pleiaxing asked.

Ji Di nodded: "Well, it's very likely that's the case. If it's a traditional method, there's no reason why the dragon chefs can't make it with their cooking skills."

"So Ao Lufa and Tong Yu have to use their own imaginations, right?"

As he said that, everyone turned their attention to the two people in front of the cooking table in the middle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Tong Yu lowered her head slightly, seeming to be thinking about how to cook.

Ao Lufa was wearing a mask, so he didn't know what his expression was under the mask.

Zhu Yuan walked down from the Hall of Supreme Harmony and came to a giant tripod.

Inside the huge bronze cauldron there are three incense columns with a diameter of about 2 centimeters.

"Before all three pillars of incense are burned, please cook oil-soaked chicken for 50 people on both sides. Let's start now!" Zhu Yuan announced.

An order means the start of the game.

Whether it is Tong Yu, Ao Lufa, or the onlookers Ji Di, Liu Pleiades and others, no matter how you improve the fried chicken, the meat quality of the chicken is very important, and it can be said that it plays an absolutely dominant role.

Only when the meat quality of chicken is improved can we be qualified to talk about taste and improvement.

In today's world, there are many types of chicken.

There are many kinds of chickens in China alone, and the meat quality will also be different.

For example, the "Pudong chicken" of Shanghai Pudong chicken, Shandong Shouguang chicken, Zhejiang Xiaoshan chicken, etc. Each region has its own characteristic chicken.

In terms of species, there are many varieties of chickens, such as guinea fowl, bearded chicken, imperial concubine chicken, three-yellow chicken, etc.

"What should I choose?" Tong Yu murmured to herself.

But just when Tong Yu hesitated, Ao Lufa and his assistants took action.
