Chapter 1 I am a cook! ! (New book for collection)

In front of the large communal bath of the Inazuma Castle Shogun’s residence

"Do you still want to take a shower?"

Standing in front of a maid, Lan Meng looked dazed. He came to cook at the door today, not to serve. Why are you suddenly asked to take a bath and change clothes now?

Although it is theoretically a service industry, as a chef, wouldn’t it be enough to wash the dishes?

Looking at Lan Meng's incredible expression, although the maid who led the way tried to maintain the same expression as before, Lan Meng, who was very sensitive to other people's emotional changes, could clearly sense the pride in the other party's words.

"Of course! The general chooses the royal chef, so he needs to cleanse himself!"

Although the other party's eyes were a bit disrespectful, Lan Meng decided to forgive the other party. Anyway, this cleansing is not the other's cleansing, and it's not because the soldiers around him don't look easy to provoke.

But even so, he still couldn't help but secretly slander, 'That general is definitely a gentleman, otherwise why are there all maids in the mansion? '

But the slander belongs to the slander, and the action is not slow at all, because there is a brother in the bathroom who has been staring at him.

Lan Meng was naturally dissatisfied with this. After all, even if he went to the bathhouse, no one would stare at him all the time, but he didn't dare to object at all, because he was basically sure that the reason why the other party appeared here was to spy on him.

Along the way, whether it was the maid leading the way, the man in the bathhouse, or the soldiers I saw before, they secretly thought that Lan Meng would show the existence of the 'general' he saw next.

But being nervous was nervous, and he didn't care too much about it. Anyway, he didn't plan to do anything but cook a meal.

You can't make a meal and catch him, right?

After taking a shower and changing into the clothes prepared by the other party, Lan Meng was taken to a kitchen.

Unsurprisingly, a group of chefs in the kitchen were in full swing, while at the same time, a group of soldiers with 'yes, I'm here to spy on you' stood around.

And he was brought to a kitchen table by the maid who led the way.

Lan Meng, who had gradually gotten used to the general's "routines", selectively ignored the watchers around him.

No matter how scary this group of guys looked, he didn't plan to do anything anyway, and it had nothing to do with him. Right now, his goal was to make a dish that would satisfy the 'general' and complete the task.

First is to confirm the recipe...

Said to choose a recipe, but in fact Lan Meng didn't have to choose. Although he had learned many recipes, the best among these recipes was naturally the 'barbecue' that he had learned from the beginning. And cooking itself has no requirements, so he naturally chooses what he is best at.

Since it is barbecue, the first step is to pick the meat.

It seems a simple step at first glance, but it is an extremely important step for cooking, because inappropriate ingredients may even ruin a dish, such as the thigh meat held by Lan Meng, or it can also be collectively referred to as Tendon meat.

Unlike pork belly, it can be roasted, boiled or fried, or even fried directly.

The biggest feature of tendon meat is its tight texture. If it is not handled well, it will not only taste bad but also taste poor, so many people like to use it as marinade.

Strictly speaking, tendon meat is not the most suitable for barbecue, because the fat content of tendon meat is too low, but the recipe mastered by Lan Meng needs to use this kind of ingredients to complete.

Under the strange eyes of the surrounding surveillance personnel and some chefs, Lan Meng's behavior of looking for spices after picking a piece of meat can be said to be at a loss.

You must know that Lan Meng is not the first person who came to participate in the assessment today, and it is not without pretentiousness.

However, these people's dishes can't even be served in front of the 'General'.

First of all, cleaning the body is not only to wash the chef clean, but also the first step to check, and then to complete the cooking under the supervision of countless guards, direct pass if the appearance is too bad or the smell is strange.

In the end, the dishes that are delicious in color and fragrance will be served to the "Master General" for tasting.

Not only that, the cook even needs to eat part of it first for safety.

You must know that this time'chef selection' was even called by the chefs privately as the 'Inazuma City Imperial Chef Competition', and even the participants were not limited to the local chefs in Inazuma City, which is why Lan Meng, a strangely dressed man One of the reasons why I asked around the general's mansion but was not invited to drink tea.

At this time, many people looked at Lan Meng's young face and poor food choices, and couldn't help but regard him as a newcomer who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

It's a pity that they only guessed half right. Lan Meng is indeed a newcomer, but he is not ignorant.

Compared with the poor choice of ingredients, his choice of spices is much wilder, which makes many people shake their heads secretly. You must know that the more spices, the better, but a certain proportion of blending is required. Indiscriminate use of spices will only make the taste pungent and unpleasant.

But what is unexpected is that as the number of spices in the cooking bowl increases with Lan Meng's movements, the originally pungent fragrance gradually becomes gentler.

Some experienced chefs have secretly withdrawn their previous underestimation, because their experience tells them that those who can use so many spices and make them balance are definitely not ordinary people.

But what happened next caught everyone off guard again, because after Lan Meng mixed the spices with water and put the meat on the chopping board, instead of shaving the meat off with a knife, he raised his fist instead.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

Accompanied by a burst of intensive knocking on the chopping board, Lan Meng's fists kept hitting the thigh in front of him.

For Lan Meng's operation, most people present understood that it was to make the meat softer, but when they were puzzled, why didn't Lan Meng use the kitchen utensils next to him?

Lan Meng was also very helpless about this.

It's not that the kitchen utensils are not good, but that Lan Meng thinks that his skills are not good enough, and he can't flexibly control his own strength with a hammer. For him, fists are better controlled, and can be adjusted according to changes in meat quality. .

After an operation that other people could not understand, Lan Meng pounded the meat, soaked it in the spice solution prepared before, and then sat in front of his kitchen counter and looked around curiously.

Lan Meng's performance was a bit weird, but everyone's goal was to take over the status of "royal chef", so after finding that Lan Meng didn't have any new operations, he focused on his own cooking.

And then... half an hour later, accompanied by a strange humming sound of "噚~噚~噚噚~", Lan Meng was turning over the thigh meat in front of him with a smile, and kept using a small brush to adjust the meat in advance. The sauce is brushed over the meat.

"Zizi~"

Along with the continuous dripping of fat from the meat, a burst of white mist also spread.

Although the white mist was dispelled by the magic circle specially designed to ventilate the wind, the strong fragrance kept attacking the nostrils of other chefs and watchers around.

Until then, everyone was sure that the man in front of him was definitely not a kind person.

Is the enemy!

Lan Meng's behavior seemed to arouse the fighting spirit of the chefs present, and the movements of everyone's hands also accelerated by two points.

After more than ten minutes, looking at the grilled meat Lan Meng who had completely turned amber under the flames, he nodded in satisfaction and raised his hand to indicate that his cooking was finished.

Blue Dream itself didn't take long to bake, but it took a lot of time to 'knock the meat' and 'marinate'. When he looked around, he found that the chefs in the kitchen seemed to have changed batches.

While admiring the great scene of the general recruiting a cook, he put the barbecue in a wooden box to keep warm under the guidance of the maid at the side, and then went to the dormitory of the 'Thor' or 'General Thunder' under the guidance of the other party.

What surprised Lan Meng was that the 'Thunder General' didn't seem to see him or what they meant, and sat behind a bamboo curtain all the time, and what he needed to do was to put the food under the watchful eyes of the woman with black wings. Divide it well, and the other party will choose to eat part of it.

Lan Meng really wanted to remind the other party that the barbecue was more delicious by himself, but seeing the serious expression of the woman with black wings, he thought it was better to forget it.

He just continued to slander the other party as a gentleman, and even the guards with knives around him were beautiful women.

For Lan Meng, his work has come to an end, and the next step is to wait for the results of his work.

But for Jiujo Shaluo, her expression was extremely serious.

Although recruiting a cook is not a big deal in Lan Meng's view, as a person who implements the "eye hunting order", she is very aware of how persistent the rebels are. In order to prevent someone from harming the general, she naturally needs to Guard both sides.

All the chefs participating in this assessment will go through a round of inspection after entering the mansion, and all their belongings will be temporarily handed over to the staff of Tianling for management.

Then, under the leadership of the maids, they passed through the road guarded by soldiers to the large bathhouse usually used by the attendants and guards, where they finished bathing and changing clothes under the supervision of the staff of Tianling.

Finally, the cooking was completed under surveillance.

As for the final step of presenting the dishes, Kujo Saura personally took over, in order to prevent the final accident.

Although Kujo Saro's reason tells her that the general is invincible, but as a subordinate, she needs to try her best to be perfect!

So far, the recruitment assessment has gone smoothly. As for Lan Meng?

In the eyes of Kujo Sharo, she is just an ordinary chef. If Lan Meng is still wearing her original clothes, maybe she will take a second look at the other party because of his status as a "foreign chef", but now she is replaced by Dao Wife With traditional clothes and black hair and black eyes, she even thought that the other party was a local.

But the barbecue presented by Lan Meng made her feel a little strange.

The previous chefs probably felt that they had to cook dishes that fit the temperament of the "General", so the dishes were basically extremely gorgeous, and the various side dishes alone were dizzying.

But what about Blue Dream's lunch box?

There was some lettuce in a huge wooden box, and a large stick was placed across it.

But the seemingly simple dress, combined with the amber-like color and the constant fragrance, made Jiujo Sharo nod silently.

Although it is a little different from the previous ones, it is still worthy of the general's cooking.

She took out a knife from her subordinates and asked Lan Meng to complete the division and let Lan Meng eat part of it on the spot. After that, she carried a piece of barbecued meat across the bamboo curtain and came to the general.

Before Lan Meng had been slandering that the entire mansion was full of women except for the soldiers, and even the guards were all beauties, 'General Thunder and Lightning' was a great gentleman.

But in fact, the other party is a purple-haired beauty with a good figure.

However, the other party's serious expression and the majestic aura unconsciously exuded are worthy of the name of 'general'.

Facing the grilled meat presented by Kujo Saro, she decisively picked up the piece of grilled meat with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

"click~"

After one bite, the skin of the meat made a crisp sound, and the seemingly thin slices of meat burst out with unimaginable gravy.

The gravy preserved by the barbecue still maintains a certain temperature, and the soft and tender meat is constantly chewed, and the sweetness of the meat itself bursts out.

There is not too much complicated taste, the crispy skin, the sweetness of the gravy and the soft and tender taste of the meat itself...

The other party nodded unconsciously.

It's just that what happened next was somewhat beyond her expectations.

As she continued to swallow, while she felt a sense of satisfaction, she always felt that some strange pictures appeared in her mind.

Like a cherry blossom tree?

There was a feeling of familiarity, but she didn't know why it was familiar.

As she kept trying to explore the secrets of memory, there was a strange warmth in the position of her chest for some reason.

Her intuition told her that the secret of familiarity and warmth should be in the barbecue in front of her.

Most of the time when she tasted it before, she just took two casual bites to confirm the taste, but this time she directly ate almost all the barbecue meat sent by Kujo Sharo.

With the accumulation of emotions, changes finally occurred, but this change was caught off guard.

"Woo~!!"

Accompanied by a strange whimper, the opponent's cheeks flushed slightly, and at the same time he suddenly felt absent-minded, and then saw the opponent's body fall uncontrollably to the side.

This extremely abrupt change was beyond everyone's expectations. Jiutiao Shaluo, who had been guarding him all the time, widened his eyes instantly, and at the same time, his originally serious expression became even more ferocious.

"Master General!!"

With her exclamation, she rushed forward without hesitation and tried to help him.

At the same time, the door of the reception room was slammed open, and soldiers in full armor poured in instantly. Jiujo Saluo, who was supporting the general, happened to notice that Lan Meng, who had been standing silently by the side, was now smiling. .

Suddenly a bad premonition appeared in her mind!

assassin! !

"Give me the lunatic who dared to assassinate the general!! Kill him on the spot if he resists!!"

Following her order, countless spears were aimed at the smiling Lan Meng.

What the hell?

Didn't the sound of "I have completed the cooking that satisfies the 'Thor' just now, the task is completed" just came out of my mind?

How did you become an assassin yourself?

He is a cook! !
