Chapter 57 Unprecedented taste in the world(1/2)
When the fish was finished, Uncle Liu turned on the high heat, poured hot oil into the wok, and used a shovel to pick three pieces of fish and fly them into the wok.
Only three slices were given because Uncle Liu, who was old and frail, was afraid that he would not be able to handle more. Three servings were just right for Tasori Megumi and Nakiri Erina to share one serving each.
As soon as the three pieces of fish were put into the wok, Uncle Liu began to stir-fry them. Every time he stir-fryed, he would use a spatula to pick out some seasonings and mix them into the hot oil.
At this step, everything seemed ordinary. After stir-frying a few times, Uncle Liu started to stir-fry.
Cooking is a very important skill for Central Plains cooks. Miyoko Hojo, who specializes in Central Plains cuisine, is very good at cooking. Because she can easily stir-fry a metal Chinese wok with one hand, she is known as Miss Iron Fist Fire Dragon. Although she herself
I think this nickname is quite unpleasant.
Uncle Liu stirred up the pot, and the fire instantly engulfed the pot, but the three pieces of fish in the pot jumped up, like three small fish struggling to flop upward.
This is the first translation!
The three pieces of fish quickly fell back into the wok, but Uncle Liu pushed hard again, the fire started again, and the fish flew again, but it seemed to fly higher than before.
This is the second translation!
Uncle Liu stirred the pot several times in succession, and the fish became more and more delicious each time, and the color of the fish gradually became golden.
By the ninth time, Uncle Liu's forehead and face were covered with sweat, and his physical strength had dropped significantly, but soon his face became red again, he was full of energy, and his hands became more powerful.
Yan Kai knew that Uncle Liu had swallowed the ginseng whiskers in his mouth, so he took a deep breath.
After nine times of stirring the pot, the three pieces of fish meat seemed like real golden carp, becoming more and more agile, flapping and leaping like living creatures, leaping out of the sea of fire again and again, and challenging higher heights again and again.
But that's not enough!
After swallowing the ginseng, Liu Bo was stronger than when he started. He continued to stir the pot, each time with stronger force than the last time, and the fish flew higher.
This fish leaps over the dragon gate eighteen times, the first nine times it turns into a fish, and the last nine times it turns into a dragon. This is also the essence of the fish leaping over the dragon gate. In order to make sure that there are no mistakes in the last nine times, Liu Bo,
He had to swallow the ginseng whiskers in advance. He originally planned to swallow them in the last six turns, but it seemed that he overestimated his physical strength.
On the tenth turn, the fish meat that turned into a golden carp actually had sparks, and rolled in the air, leaving behind three fire snakes.
This is exactly the Fire Dragon Transformation of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate eighteen times. The descendants of the Dai family could not practice Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate eighteen times because they were stuck at this level.
Fire Dragon Transformation is extremely strict with the use of heat. If you are not careful, the fish will either be burnt by sparks or the heat will not be enough and the flavor will not be fully absorbed. Both of these will eventually make the fish a failure.
The fire snake continued to fly, and with each flight it not only jumped higher, but the image of the fire snake became clearer and clearer, and even gradually grew arms and legs. It was no longer a fire snake, but turned into a fire dragon.
The rosy color on Uncle Liu's face gradually faded away. Each time the back nine turns required too much physical strength, even if there were ginseng whiskers to help boost his energy, Uncle Liu was gradually exhausted.
But Uncle Liu had no choice. He knew that if he couldn't perform the Eighteen Flips of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate today, it would be even more impossible in the future. He must complete this magical skill in the Central Plains cooking world today!
After Uncle Liu started to stir the pot, his sight was blocked by the fire. The other people watching Uncle Liu perform the Eighteen Turns of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate did not see Uncle Liu clenching his teeth. They were all thinking about Uncle Liu's magical chef.
Fascinated by technology.
"It's amazing. The fish meat is so thin and it didn't immediately brown under the fire. Mr. Liu's control over the heat is really appalling."
Nakiri Senzamon's cooking skills are another matter, but his vision is definitely the best among all the viewers in the audience.
Nakiri Erina stared unblinkingly at the three fire dragons rising up in the sea of fire, and responded to her grandfather: "It's not just the heat. I see that Mr. Liu seems to be using a shovel to press the fish every time before turning the pot."
, seems to make the fish more delicious.”
"But the key is taste. Although this technique is powerful, I don't know what effect it will have on the taste." Gin Dojima shook his head slightly, a little confused about Uncle Liu's extremely fancy technique.
Cooking is not a circus, it’s too fancy!
The other graduates of Yuanyue were also discussing in low voices. The eighteen pages of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate looked gorgeous, but was it really necessary?
Just stir-frying it should be able to achieve the same effect, right?
"Oh, this old man is incredible!" Xing Ping Soma had mixed up with the people in Jixing Lao at this time, and couldn't help but admire Liu Bo while he was cooking the pot, "Ah, I remembered, I used to
I’ve seen this old grandpa before!”
"Yukihira, have you met grandpa?" Tadokoro took it seriously. After all, this was a cooking show specially for her. She couldn't be serious. But after hearing what Yukihira Soma said, she couldn't help but be distracted.
Asked something.
"Hmm, well, didn't I enroll in school after school started? It's because my dad went to find this old man before school started, but he wasn't there. My dad waited for a long time to wait for him, and then took this old man with him.
Grandpa came to my house to see if I was qualified to be his apprentice, hahaha, but I failed in the end!"
Yukihira Soma touched the back of his head and smiled, but he didn't feel much frustration.
"Is it the time when school starts?" Tadokoro responded quickly, "Oh, at that time, I had just been accepted by my grandfather, and he accompanied me home. No wonder your father couldn't see anyone."
In the Central Plains, accepting a disciple is a big deal, and it is the same in Japan. It definitely requires the consent of the family, so after accepting Tian Suohui, Uncle Liu accompanied Tian Suohui to her home and got acquainted with Tian Suohui's parents.
Next, I also stayed at Tadokoro Megumi's house for a few days. I hurried back after receiving a call saying someone was looking for me.
Because the incident happened unexpectedly, Tadokoro had to pay his respects, so he did not go back with Uncle Liu. When Tadokoro arrived later, Uncle Liu had already taken care of everything, so Tadokoro didn't know who Uncle Liu was meeting. It turned out to be Yukihira.
His father.
This is really a mistake.
Souma Yukihira's father, Joichiro Yukihira, was also a student of Totsuki. He knew about Uncle Liu's existence. After he decided to go overseas for work and travel, he wanted to make arrangements for Yukihira, so he thought of taking Soma Yukihira to meet Uncle Liu.
Try your luck to see if Uncle Liu will fall in love with his son.
But Souma Yukihira refused to do it. He was angry that his father wanted to close the restaurant, and he couldn't go. There was no other way. Yukihira Joichiro had no choice but to go by himself first. When he arrived, he found that Uncle Liu was not there. He was invited to Totsuki Academy.
He was trying to see if there were any students among the freshmen who could inherit his cooking skills. It was a mistake.
But after knowing that Uncle Liu would be back soon, he didn't bother to go to Totsuki Academy. Instead, he stayed at the resort. After all, the director of the resort, Dojima Gin, was his best friend, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
It was just a good time to catch up on old times, but he stayed there for several days without waiting for Uncle Liu to come back. Unable to wait any longer, he could only ask Gin Dojima to come forward and contact Uncle Liu. Only after this contact did he find out that Uncle Liu had just accepted
A disciple is currently at his home to communicate with his family.
This is a huge event!
From Uncle Liu's point of view, he just accepted a disciple he liked, but from the perspective of people in Yuanyue, this was an earthquake-like event.
Let’s not talk about the follow-up. At the request of Dojima Gin and Yukihira Joichiro, Uncle Liu had no choice but to go back early, went to Yukihira restaurant, and tested Yukihira Soma. Needless to say, the result was that Yukihira Soma failed.
Anyway, it was just a matter of luck. Although Souma Yukihira failed, Joichiro Yukihira was not too disappointed when he arrived. He just arranged for Soma Yukihira to go to Totsuki Academy, and the competitive Soma Yukihira was quite suitable for this school.
Coming from a highly competitive school, I quickly forgot about the incident, so I didn't recognize Uncle Liu immediately when I first met him.
Chapter 15!
The fire dragon soared into the air and fell back. Uncle Liu's face was already twitching. His physical strength was about to reach its limit. The eighteenth flip of the fish leaping over the dragon's gate would probably only stop at the sixteenth flip.
Just when Uncle Liu was feeling regretful, a palm pressed on Uncle Liu's back, and a powerful flow of heat poured into Uncle Liu's body. A burst of physical strength that came out of nowhere shook Uncle Liu's spirit!
With this naturally beautiful hand, he had already seen that Uncle Liu's physical strength was unsustainable, so he decisively struck at the most critical moment, using his tyrannical internal strength to continue a wave of attacks for Uncle Liu.
He did not dare to directly transfer his internal energy into Liu Bo's body. Liu Bo's already aging muscles and veins could not withstand the sudden influx of internal energy, so the main function of Yan Kai's internal energy was to help Liu Bo activate the ginseng medicinal power in his body.
Most of the tonics taken by ordinary people are not fully digested, and the potency of the medicine will accumulate in the body. If it cannot be excreted in time, it will be harmful to the human body. The so-called deficiency cannot be supplemented, which is the principle of three parts of the medicine being poisonous. Yan Kai is not only giving
Uncle Liu renewed his strength, which also helped him eliminate hidden dangers, killing two birds with one stone.
With Yan Kai's help, Liu Bo finally didn't lose any time and performed the last three turns neatly.
Chapter 18!
After turning it over eighteen times, the three fire dragons finally transformed into dragons. Not only did dragon horns grow on their heads, but even the dragon scales on their bodies were faintly visible.
After the three fire dragons jumped out of the sea of fire, they did not go back this time. Instead, they flipped around in mid-air and flew in three directions.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Yan Kai quickly threw three plates, and by chance they landed on the ground where the three fire dragons landed. Yan Kai then flew out and took one plate with one hand. The last plate was not caught with his hand, and he blew on it.
Slowly flew towards the direction of Nakiri Erina.
Seeing the plate flying towards her, Nakiri Erina hurriedly caught it with her hand. The plate fell steadily into her hand. At this time, the fire dragon on the plate slowly dissipated, revealing a piece of golden-red fish meat.
"I have limited energy, so I won't do the plating this time. Please forgive me!"
After completing the eighteen turns of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate, Uncle Liu let out a sigh of relief, and his bones became a little soft.
Yan Kai handed the dinner plate to Tian Suo Hui, and Tian Suo Hui took it in the admiration of everyone. Looking at the golden fish meat, she couldn't bear to eat it.
"Eat!" Yan Kai handed Tian Suo Hui a pair of chopsticks and said.
"Yes, Kaijun!" Tadokoro subconsciously took the chopsticks and picked up the fish, swallowed, and carefully put the fish into his mouth.
Nakiri Erina was not treated so well. Someone gave her chopsticks, so she had to take a pair herself, gently pick up the fish and start tasting it.
Well……
What a feeling it is...
When the fish entered her mouth, an unprecedented taste melted into Nakiri Erina's taste buds. It was not strong or irritating. She closed her eyes subconsciously, and suddenly she could not feel the weight of her body. She felt as if she was in the clouds.
There was a strong wind lingering, and the clouds and rain were crawling under her feet. In a trance, she had a feeling that she could call the wind and rain, dominate the nine heavens, and be omnipotent...
marvelous!
Opening her eyes, mountains and rivers were at her feet. She actually came to the sky. There were dragons flying around her, hugging her. She stood in the center of the dragon group, no, standing on the head of the Dragon King, surrounded by the dragons.
Worshiped...
"Erina, Erina! Wake up, Erina!"
Grandpa’s call brought Nakiri Erina back to reality. The dragons and clouds were just fantasies brought about by cooking, but they were so real...
To be continued...
