After reading it in one breath, Kasumigaoka Shiyu let out a sigh of relief.
The style of this comic has completely changed.
The content of the first seven chapters is as sharp as a knife, but the eighth chapter is a turning point, and the plot of the entire comic slides to the other extreme.
With the latest two chapters, the manga seems to have begun to establish a new style. Kasumigaoka Shiu can't say exactly what it is yet, but what is certain is that this manga has changed its course.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu somewhat understood why Yan Kai never wanted to submit his manuscript to a publisher. If he dared to draw like this after submitting his manuscript to a publisher, the publisher's screenwriter would dare to hack Yan Kai to death.
In the Japanese comics industry, the power of editors is terrifying. If you are dissatisfied with a comic, it is very common to send it back to the author for revision.
The editorial department will definitely not agree to something like the transformation of a comic midway through. For example, a hot-blooded comic must always be passionate. If the author wants to draw something deep in the middle, he has to do it secretly, otherwise the editorial department will definitely not allow it.
Japanese comics have been developing for many years and have long had a mature industry rule. Many unspoken rules in the industry are even those who are at the top and the great cartoonists dare not touch them.
For example, characters with too high armament value are not allowed to appear in comics about fighting of wits. If there are, they will be defeated by characters with high IQs. The theme of comics must not deviate from fighting of wits.
The same goes for hot-blooded comics. Just read it from beginning to end and don't engage in any conspiracies. Even if there are, well, the passion of the protagonist group is rising, those conspiracies and conspiracies will be ruined under various accidents.
This shows that the main characters and the villains are not intelligent. Occasionally, there are a few characters with normal IQs. They are all military advisors who are called "intelligent generals" in the book. They are considered to be the intellectual responsibilities of comics. It is not easy, not easy. .
Therefore, many people feel that the plots and plots of those hot-blooded comics are a bit insulting to the IQ, and that the authors are trying to dazzle readers. In fact, this is not the case. This is the industry rule. They cannot design too elaborate strategies, otherwise it will cross the border.
Moreover, in non-romantic comics, the relationship between men and women is also quite casual. Childhood sweethearts, love at first sight, heroes saving beauties, these are all very easy to use routines, and once confirmed, there will be basically no recurrence.
And in romance comics... it's too common for NTR to come and go.
Of course, there are no exceptions. In the early stage of "Hunter Hunter", it was just a battle of wits and strength, and it also included decrypted comics. However, I don't know whether the author Yoshihiro Togashi couldn't handle multiple themes at the same time, or whether he was forced by industry pressure. Of course, It is also possible that I have been addicted to mahjong for a long time and my brain has been drained. In the subsequent content, the content of decrypting the game has basically disappeared.
By the way, here are some things that many people may not know. In the comics classification, if we break it down, "One Piece" and "Naruto" should be classified into hot-blooded comics, while "Hunter" is a battle comic. .
All three have a large number of fighting scenes, and fighting occupies the main space, so how to distinguish them?
To put it simply, it’s about playing with a brain or playing without a brain.
Start with a talkative start, rely on roaring for output, and recall kills in adversity. If it meets the above points, it is a hot-blooded manga. If you add the fact that you like to play against waves, it will be a hot-blooded manga among hot-blooded comics. It cannot be Counted into combat comics.
During battle, you can calmly analyze the capabilities of the enemy and ourselves, be able to use various abilities in a logical and self-consistent manner, carefully plan your layout, and boldly strive for victory. Only then can you be considered a combat comic.
Therefore, "One Piece" and "Naruto" are passionate comics, while "Hunter" is a combat comic.
Of course, there are some elements that can be incorporated into comics of any theme without being rejected by editors, such as funny elements, funny blood, funny battles, funny love, funny reasoning, etc., because the audience for comedy is really too large. , incorporating funny elements, the probability of being popular is much higher than the probability of not being popular.
"Jian Xiao Jiang Hu" is a comic with very mixed elements. There are battles and strategies, and the proportions are quite large. They complement each other and it is difficult to choose between them.
Although there are currently only two couples describing love, Yan Beifei, Chu Xinru and his wife, and Yagyu Itken, Chieko and his wife, from Kasumigaoka Shiu's point of view, the descriptions are excellent and profound, and it doesn't look like a random pen.
Of course, in the eyes of professional comics, these are obviously unclear categories and disliked by the mainstream, at least not by the screenwriters - there is no fixed audience group, bad reviews!
But it doesn’t matter what the manga industry thinks of Yan Kai’s manga Kasumigaoka Shiyu. She only knows that the manga is very good. Even if she shed tears when reading the eighth chapter, she doesn’t think “Sword Roaring Jianghu” is a bad manga. On the contrary, it is She has always believed in this masterpiece, which is the biggest reason why she is willing to spend precious time on this comic.
She didn't use any of the one million that Yan Kai gave her. She just waited for the comic to be finished and slapped it in front of Yan Kai to let him know how upright and honorable she Kasumigaoka Shiyu was!
…………………………
Today, Yan Kai came to the Chinese restaurant where he worked again. He had just finished changing his clothes, but before he could enter the kitchen, the general manager of the Chinese restaurant stepped forward diligently and bowed long to Yan Kai.
Yan Kai raised his eyebrows, knowing that another difficult customer was coming, and nodded to the general manager, indicating that he would speak if he had anything to say.
After getting Yan Kai's consent, the general manager said happily: "Yan Sang, today the eldest lady of the Totsuki Group, Miss Nakiri Erina, is coming to taste your cuisine. Look..."
"Just follow the old rules." Yan Kai said without even raising his eyelids.
"Sorry, sorry, I said too much!" The general manager bowed and apologized again, like a grandson.
"But, that is the famous 'God's Tongue', so... do you think it is..." The general manager rubbed his hands, looking like he didn't dare to say anything.
But in fact, his meaning was very clear, that is, let Yan Kai deal with it more carefully.
Yan Kai just gave the general manager a cold look: "I told you, I won't work overtime."
What does careful preparation mean? Just spend more time!
Yan Kai's target is eight dishes every day. If there are diners like this who cannot refuse to come to the door, then he will reluctantly cook one more. If it is impossible to cook more, Yan Kai will quit.
Yan Kai cooks very quickly, and can operate on two or even three or four lines, so the eight dishes don't take much of Yan Kai's time, just over half an hour. The rest of the time is spent supervising the cooking of other chefs.
This is also an agreement he made with the Chinese restaurant, allowing Yan Kai to mentor other chefs whenever he has the opportunity. In exchange, Yan Kai can choose the ingredients he likes and take them home, as long as they are available in the Chinese restaurant, no problem.
Because the conditions were acceptable, Yan Kai did not refuse. Of course, he just gave random instructions. He was too attentive and they were not worthy of it. But this also made the chefs in the Chinese restaurant improve their cooking skills a lot, so the chefs in the back kitchen of the Chinese restaurant all He respects Yan Kai very much and is not dissatisfied at all because of Yan Kai's special treatment.
In the past, when diners with great influence in the catering industry came to the Chinese restaurant to dine and asked Yan Kai to add dishes, Yan Kai just made them casually. But now the general manager wants Yan Kai to put more effort into making a fine dish. How could Kai agree? If he doesn’t do it, he won’t do it!
Yan Kai's time is very tight, how could he waste it on a diner? He wouldn't do this!
The general manager had expected what Yan would say in the meeting, so he snapped his fingers, and immediately two girls in cheongsam came up carrying two trays covered with red cloth. The general manager opened the red cloth first, revealing two huge bear paws.
"The Arctic white bear, the Northeastern black bear in the Central Plains, good chefs all like good ingredients. As long as Yan Sang agrees, one of these two bear paws will be yours!"
The general manager looked at Yan Kaidao eagerly.
"Making bear paws... takes a lot of time!" Yan Kai's nose twitched a few times, and after checking the goods, he found that these two bear paws were rare and top-notch. Even though there was a lot of energy behind this Chinese restaurant, It probably took a lot of effort to get these two bear paws.
It seems that the "God's Tongue" has a lot of background, and it is worthy of the Chinese restaurant spending so much attention on serving it.
This is the first time that a Chinese restaurant has specially prepared ingredients.
"One is mine, and the other one is for entertaining that young lady, right?" Yan Kai was already moved.
Good ingredients are hard to find, and the general manager is absolutely right.
Bear's paw is one of the eight treasures of the ancient Central Plains. Mencius also said that fish is what I want; bear's paw is also what I want. You can't have both. One would give up fish and take bear's paw.
King Cheng of Chu was fond of eating bear paws and would not forget to eat them before he died.
The deliciousness of bear paws is evident.
But in modern times, in the Central Plains, bears have become nationally protected animals, and eating bear paws is illegal.
In Japan and Hokkaido, for the sake of ecological balance, hunters kill some bears every year. Only then can legal bear paws flow into the market.
However, whether it is an arctic white bear or a northeastern black bear, their bear paws are illegal.
Even Yan Kai had never eaten bear paws when he was in the Central Plains. Although Yan Kai's father was a glutton, he would not violate the law just for the sake of food.
But... Unless the paws of Arctic white bears and Northeastern black bears are not tasty, these bear paws can still appear on the dining table as long as necessary.
Wouldn’t it be nice to say it’s a black bear in Hokkaido?
Who wouldn’t tell lies with your eyes open?
"Yes, Yan Sang! If you agree, please tell me if you have any other materials that need to be prepared. Even if I search all over Tokyo, I will get it for you!" The general manager bowed again.
Yan Kai was tired from bowing so many times, so he chose not to look at them, but carefully looked at the appearance of the two bear paws.
This shape, tsk tsk tsk... This size, tsk tsk tsk...
Yan Kai couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Although Yan Kai would not deliberately buy bear paws, if two bear paws in good condition were placed in front of him, his morals would not be high enough to report to the general manager, and he would not lack a certificate.
"Find me a good sturgeon within an hour." Yan Kai finally made a decision and did it! Because bear paws are so fragrant!
The general manager beamed: "It won't take an hour, it will be delivered soon."
Although sturgeon is also a very precious ingredient, Tokyo's catering industry is extremely developed. As long as it is an ingredient that can be put on the plate, you can definitely find it in Tokyo. It's just sturgeon, and the general manager can get it done with just a phone call.
Yan Kai glanced at the general manager: "I want something over thirty kilograms, wild, and with fish roe."
The general manager's expression changed.
Artificial freshwater cultured sturgeons weighing less than ten kilograms have better meat quality than precious salmon. They are rare and good ingredients. Wild sturgeons weighing more than thirty kilograms are even more valuable.
Of course, here, in order to please Yuanyue Group, the leader of Japan's catering industry, it is worth spending no matter how much money you spend. But the problem is that it is difficult to find a place to buy such top-notch ingredients if you have money, let alone within an hour.
"I, I'm going to prepare now, Yan Sang, please go ahead!" The general manager, who was sweating on his forehead, bowed again, and then trotted away, presumably to find some ingredients through a relationship.
"I hope you can succeed!" Yan Kai sent his blessing conscientiously. After all, he also wanted to eat.
A sturgeon weighing more than thirty pounds...sucks!
Yan Kai asked two girls in cheongsam to bring the bear paws into the kitchen, and then he also entered the kitchen and finished the reserved dishes first. This time, because he was thinking about the two bear paws, Yan Kai's cooking speed increased again. Unexpectedly, Eight dishes were completed within half an hour.
After finishing today's work, Yan Kai finally had time to take care of the two bear paws that made him drool.
As early as the first time he saw these two bear paws, he had already planned the recipe in his mind.
There is no way, this is the instinct of a chef. Yan Kai is not a professional chef, but his cooking skills, even if Yan Kai evaluates himself, are top-notch!
First, remove the hair from the white bear's paws in boiling water, add old ginger, green onions, and French white wine and simmer. This step should have been simmering for six hours, but Yan Kai obviously didn't have this time. He breathed out, and the simmering flames It hasn't grown bigger, but the inside of the pot has undergone tremendous changes. The condiments are integrated into the bear's paw at an astonishing speed. It doesn't take six hours at all, but only ten minutes for the bear's paw to be fully flavored and the meat to soften.
This is one of Yan Kai’s secret skills for quickly becoming a dish, his powerful internal strength!
These time-consuming tasks of cooking can be completed quickly under the catalysis of internal force, and the efficiency is increased dozens of times.
After the stew was completed, Yan Kai took out the white bear's paw and deboned it. He made a sword finger with his hand and tapped several places on the bear's paw.
From the outside, this bear paw seems to have not changed at all, but in fact, this bear paw has been pierced with hundreds of small holes by Yan Kai's sword energy. However, the flesh of the bear paw is tight and the small holes are not exposed. .
The white bear's paw was finished for now, and he had to wait for the sturgeon, so Yan Kai turned to the black bear's paw.
Remove the hair and bones, make incisions with sword energy, place the wild natural honeycomb on top, and then steam together.
Wild natural bee nests are still available in Chinese restaurants, and Yan Kai knows this very well.
During this stewing time, Yan Kai began to carve the winter melon, which was the phoenix spreading its wings, and then carved the liver of the swallow into the shape of a bird to make lace, which together formed a hundred birds facing the phoenix.
After the black bear's paw is steamed, Yan Kai stews it with the blood bird's nest, the best product in bird's nest, and incorporates the blood bird into it.
Because it was still early for the "God's Tongue" to arrive, Yan Kai did not use his internal power to speed up the process, and only started the final process after the eldest lady of the Yuanyue Group arrived.
