Five minutes later, the steam dissipated, and the huge steam cage was lifted up, blooming with dazzling light. For a moment, everyone in the venue seemed to see a giant dragon rising up, and fairies flying into the sky and dancing with their sleeves...
Sorry, the above is purely made up.
After the steamer cage was lifted, the thick aroma spread to the surroundings along the steam, and the meaty aroma containing all the essence of the three-headed "two-headed black" poured into the nasal cavity, causing everyone to secrete saliva unconsciously.
Even Chitong, who had just eaten more than 600 points of food, was drooling at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, Uncle Kai’s food is the most delicious, and I can’t help but want to eat it!
"Rongcheng Ju goes downstairs to cook a secret snack—Da Universe Shaomai. Please enjoy!"
Yan Kai said to everyone.
"How do you eat such a huge shaomai?"
The aroma of Shaomai stimulated everyone, but facing such a huge Shaomai, they all fell into a dilemma of not being able to eat it.
Such a huge shaomai doesn't feel like it's for people to eat, but for Godzilla!
Yan Kai took a pair of chopsticks, used the chopsticks to tear off a piece of siomai dough, then wrapped a piece of stuffing in the dough that had absorbed the meat juice after steaming and became almost transparent, and put it in his mouth.
"Just eat it like this!"
Yan Kai said to everyone after taking a bite of Shaomai.
Seeing Yan Kai demonstrate how to eat it, the onlookers could no longer hold back. They all went to get their chopsticks, and then gathered around the huge shaomai. You used a chopstick and I used a chopstick, and they themselves tore off the shaomai dough and wrapped the fillings. Start eating.
"Hmm... so fresh! So delicious!"
Some students praised loudly after eating it.
"So tender!"
Some students also showed intoxicated expressions after eating.
"Nonsense, it's obviously very chewy!"
Some students immediately retorted.
There were about twenty students surrounding the shaomai at one time, and each student had a very different feeling after eating it.
"This is?"
Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Yan Kai in confusion.
"Kaijun doesn't mix all the pork together to make stuffing, but keeps each part independent, so the taste of each part of the siu mai is different. One siu mai contains the whole pig... No, it’s all the essence of the three pigs, that’s why this siomai is called ‘Big Universe siomai’!”
Tadokoro explained to Nakiri Senzaemon while looking at the Cosmos Shaomai excitedly.
This is the Great Universe Shaomai, and this is the dim sum invented by Grandpa’s grandfather, the legendary Supreme Dragon Chef.
It is ever-changing and can be used at will, allowing diners to freely choose the parts they like. It is up to the diners themselves to decide how big of a shaomai they want to eat and how many fillings they want to put in it.
And this is also the cooking concept that the legendary cook has been pursuing, making people who eat food feel happy and happy!
"It is indeed a dish invented by that old man. The concepts contained in it are enough for us to learn for a lifetime!"
Nakiri Senzaemon stroked his beard and said.
He had also heard about who Uncle Liu's grandfather was. He was a figure who supported the culinary glory of an era. Regardless of nationality or age, whenever that person was mentioned, Nakiri Senzaemon had to stand in awe. .
The Dawei Shaomai is very big, but it is still impossible to feed all the more than 700 people in the venue. Everyone has to leave after only one bite. If you dare to eat more, you may be waiting for someone behind you. of people were beaten to death.
"Damn it, I ate too much before, and now I have to vomit it after walking a few steps, otherwise I really want to rush up right now."
Yoshino Yuki said, holding her stomach.
These students who were expelled from school did not eat the most, but they definitely worked the hardest. They sacrificed their entire stomachs. Now they feel like they are going to vomit even if they take a breath. No matter how fragrant Yan Kai’s Shaomai is, they I can't eat it at all.
"It's okay, Yoshino-san, I will help you eat more."
Chitong wiped his saliva.
"..."
Yoshino Yuki already felt a little numb to Akahitomi's words. This person, calling her a rice bowl, simply underestimated her. A rice bowl is not enough to describe her. She should be "rice pool" after all, the one in the swimming pool "Chi", or should she actually be called "Chi Tong"? Or is it okay to call it "eating pupils"?
A group of Toyue graduates looked at the Toyue students going crazy and wanted to get involved, but they were embarrassed to compete with these juniors to eat. They could only suppress their curiosity and wait until these students were almost done eating before they came forward. .
After the number of students decreased, Totsuki graduates could finally come forward. Mikushiengo weighed two balls and leaned over to take a closer look at the big universe shaomai that had been eaten into pits.
Because most of the skin has been peeled off by the students, the fillings inside are exposed. The fillings have completely different textures in different locations.
"Wow, there are all kinds of textures! This is front leg meat, hind leg meat, tenderloin, shoulder meat, pork scalp, pork belly, kidney... This is really three pigs wrapped in it!"
Mujiu Zhienguo said with his fingers in his mouth.
Although she doesn't often cook with pork, as an excellent cook who graduated as one of the "Top Ten", she still has a very deep understanding of pork, a common ingredient, and can instantly deduce the fillings based on the texture. parts.
"Tch, if you ask me, it's just sensationalism! It's such a big ball of stuffing, and it's only been cooked for five minutes. I'm afraid only the outermost layer is cooked!"
Kadozaki Taki pouted.
"Everyone give in!"
Gin Dojima borrowed Saito Souaki's kitchen knife, waved it a few times to try out the feel, walked around the big cosmic shaomai, and cut the huge shaomai into pieces like a cake with speed that was invisible to the naked eye. Come on.
After being cut into pieces, steam rises again, which is proof that the filling inside is completely cooked.
Dojima Gin used a long kitchen knife to pick out a piece of stuffing at the core of the shaomai, wrapped it in dough and ate it. An intoxicated expression appeared on Dojima Gin's face: "Not only is it cooked, but it's cooked to perfection! "
Kadozaki Taki stopped talking immediately and gave it an honest try.
Damn it (how can it be repaired)! Why is it so delicious!
Kadozaki Taki shed tears of unwillingness.
Other graduates also took action. They distinguished the texture of the fillings and picked their favorite parts to taste.
It was just a dish, but it gave them the feeling of eating a big meal. This universe shaomai was really incredible!
But just when the graduates tasted the Cosmos Shaomai and praised it profusely, Nakiri Thistle quietly left the venue.
"Are you leaving now?"
Nakiri Senzaemon catches up with Nakiri Hisato.
"Otherwise? Father, although I have offended a lot these days, please save the last bit of dignity for me!"
Nakiri Thistle smiled helplessly.
He came back with the ambition to change the world of Japanese cuisine, but now he was ousted by a group of young men, led by his own daughter. You can imagine the distress in Nakiri Kiku's heart.
However, being able to see Nakiri Erina grow to a point he didn't expect doesn't mean he came back in vain.
"Managi, is she okay?"
Nakiri Senzaemon suddenly asked.
"..." Nakiri Ji's face darkened, and then he sighed, "How could it be possible? She's still the same as before. She can't eat anything and can only rely on infusions to stay alive. The doctor said that if she continues like this, her stomach will soon... It’s going to shrink.”
The daughter of Nakiri Senzaemon, the mother of Nakiri Erina, and the wife of Nakiri Thistle. Nakiri Managi has the same "god tongue" as Nakiri Erina. This kind of thing appears once in a hundred years in the Nakiri family. I don’t know what happened this time, but talent actually appeared in two generations one after another.
And Nagiri Shinagi, who has lived longer than Nakiri Erina and has tasted more delicious food, her "god's tongue" has been extremely sharp. Even if she doesn't want to, she will easily taste all the flaws in the food, every time Eating is a huge torture for her. Now, she can no longer accept any food, even the dishes that Nagi Kiriji has worked hard to cook. She can only rely on infusions to stay alive.
Not being able to make food that his wife can eat is the biggest frustration for Nakiri Hisashi as a cook. This is also one of the reasons why he established the "Gourmet Central Organization" at all costs, in addition to really wanting to change the harm. Outside of the culinary world of Saiba Joichiro, there are also chefs who want to train people who can cook dishes that Nakiri Shinagi will praise.
"'God's Tongue'... is this a gift from God to my Nakiri family, or is it a curse?"
Nakiri Senzaemon sighed.
Nakiri Senzaemon is actually very clear about his daughter's current situation. Previously, Kitayama Anki said that Nakiri Hisashi had an ambiguous relationship with WGO's special executive officer, but Nakiri Senzaemon didn't react at all, because He knew early on that the special executive officer was his daughter.
Otherwise, if Nakiri Thistle had dared to do anything that was sorry for Nakiri Managi, he would have been chopped into seventeen or eighteen pieces by Nakiri Senzaemon.
Don't doubt the power of this "Demon King of Food" who has been all-powerful for decades. Nakiri Thistle is just a young boy in front of him. His methods and connections are far from being comparable to Nakiri Senzaemon.
"I'm not interested in whether 'God's Tongue' is a gift or a curse. What I want to do is to train cooks who can make my wife healthy again."
Nagiri thistle road.
"So you chose Si Yingshi?"
Nakiri Senzaemon asked. He could see that Nakiri Thistle's attitude towards Shieishi was completely different from other members of the "Gourmet Central Organization".
"Yes, this boy is very similar to me when I was young, and he is more pure than me. I think if it were him, he might be able to become a better cook than me."
Nakiri Thistle nodded.
"In fact, even if he grows up, he can only become the second you and cannot surpass you." Nakiri Senzaemon said, "Yan Sang's words apply not only to Siyingshi, but also to you!"
"Maybe." Nakiri Kiku smiled wryly and shrugged.
He would never admit that what that annoying Central Plains man said was right!
"By the way, father, do you know where that kid came from?" Nakiri Thistle asked Nakiri Senzaemon.
To say that he will lose this time, apart from the fact that he underestimated Nakiri Erina and Tasokoe, the biggest reason is Yan Kai who always pops up unexpectedly to disrupt his rhythm of action. No one has been able to do this for many years. The fire is getting bigger.
He was determined to investigate Yan Kai's identity, but he encountered unexpected obstacles. The "Anwu" people seemed to know it, but they didn't tell it, which made Nakiri Kiku even more suspicious that they were a group of money swindlers.
"Yan-san..." Nakiri Senzaemon pondered for a moment, and then said to Nakiri Thistle, "You still remember Mr. Liu, right?"
Nakiri Ji nodded: "Yes, of course I remember it. Speaking of which, I never thought of why, even though Senior Saiha couldn't catch his eye, he finally chose a little girl who was dropped out of school as his successor. …”
He was greatly shocked by Tian Suohui's Phoenix Crystal before, but he did not admit that this was Tian Suohui's strength. He could only say that Liu Bo's famous teacher gave birth to great disciples, and all the credit went to Liu Bo, and if Liu Bo could train Tian Suohui Focus on other more talented people, such as Si Yingshi, how far Si Yingshi will grow! All I can say is what a pity!
"Because Mr. Liu's criterion for selecting successors from the beginning was not talent, but character."
Nakiri Senzaemon stroked his beard and said.
"Character?"
Nagiri Thistle was confused.
"Yes, character." Nakiri Senzaemon nodded, "Do you know what Mr. Liu said about you?"
During the annual residential training, in addition to the guest lecturers on the surface, Uncle Liu also secretly observed the students and commented on those with outstanding talents.
"What is it?"
Nakiri Thistle asked.
"It's paranoia!" Nakiri Senzaemon said, "And this is also his evaluation of Siyingshi. It's really... no wonder you look at Siyingshi differently!"
Nakiri Ji blushed, and then said evasively: "Father, the person I just asked seems to be the Central Plains man named Yan, why did you tell me about Mr. Liu?"
"Of course it's because the two are related." Nakiri Senzaemon smiled and said, probably because Nakiri Thistle was leaving, and his resentment towards Nakiri Thistle also dissipated, and he started to look good on him. .
"I seem to have never told you why Mr. Liu lives in seclusion at Totsuki Resort?" Nakiri Senzaemon said.
"Yes, I asked you after I got married to Shinagi, but you didn't answer me at that time."
Nakiri Thistle nodded.
At that time, Nakiri Thistle was worried about how to save Nakiri Shinagi from the "God's Tongue". He wanted to use Uncle Liu's power, but was stopped by Nakiri Senzaemon on the grounds that the Nakiri family could not Had too much contact with him.
They clearly let Uncle Liu live in Totsuki, but restricted the Nakiri family from contacting him. Who made these rules? How can they be so precise!
"Because the reason why Mr. Liu was left at Yuanyue Resort was a bit embarrassing, I didn't tell you at the time."
Nakiri Senzaemon sighed.
"Then father, do you want to tell me now?"
"That's right, because I figured it out. It's not me who is embarrassed. I have nothing to say."
Nakiri Senzaemon stroked his beard and said.
"..."
For this reason, it is difficult to cut thistles.
"The matter actually started more than thirty years ago." Nakiri Senzaemon fell into memories, "More than thirty years ago, Mr. Liu first came to Japan, on the one hand to learn Japanese cuisine, and on the other hand to To earn travel expenses, he worked in a Japanese restaurant because the food he cooked was very delicious, which attracted the attention of a Yakuza giant who was ruling the roost in Tokyo at the time."
"At that time, the Yakuza rode the wind of the bubble economy, and its power expanded rapidly. It was unparalleled in its power and prestige. It is completely different from the current Yakuza. If you missed that era, you probably have never seen the domineering Yakuza at that time."
Nakiri Senzaemon said.
Nakiri Kiku nodded. When he remembered, the Yakuza in Japan had to make way for old ladies when walking on the road. The fierceness of the Yakuza could only be seen in some old movies from the 1980s.
"After the Yakuza giant tasted Mr. Liu's cooking, he became obsessed with him. He paid a lot of money to hire Mr. Liu to be his personal chef at his home. Of course, Mr. Liu refused. He was at the time Traveling around the world and absorbing and learning the essence of cooking techniques from all over the world, it is impossible to stay in Tokyo and become the personal chef of a mafia leader. But the Yakuza giant usually keeps his word, and Mr. Liu doesn't agree, so he just takes action. Arrest Mr. Liu and force him to submit."
"This is really too bad!" Nakiri Hisagi, who is also a cook, was also angry. He hurriedly asked, "Then what happened to Mr. Liu? Did you step in to save him?"
Nakiri Senzaemon shook his head: "I heard about this at the time. Although Mr. Liu is not a Japanese cook, I know a lot about Chinese food cooks and I admire Mr. Liu very much, so I came to plead for Mr. Liu. , but the Yakuza giant didn’t sell my face and directly rejected my request.”
Nakiri Thistle suddenly had an understanding of the power of the Yakuza at that time.
Nakiri Senzaemon was already the commander-in-chief of Totsuki at that time. Even though he was still young and his qualifications and prestige were far less than what he is now, he was a serious family head who fully inherited the Nakiri family connections, which was different from Nakiri Thistle who usurped the throne. , both chaebols and politicians would be courteous to Nakiri Senzaemon at that time. However, a mafia leader dared to directly refute Nakiri Senzaemon's face. It seems that the Yakuza at that time was indeed extremely arrogant.
"Then how did Mr. Liu get out of trouble?"
Nakiri Thistle asked again.
Nakiri Senzaemon's eyes became very complicated: "Mr. Liu was not actually the only one who came to Japan at that time. He had a friend who was traveling with him. After his friend heard about what happened to Mr. Liu, he left alone. We attacked the base camp of the Yakuza giant and killed more than a thousand members of his entire organization, shocking the entire Japanese Yakuza."
"ha?"
Nakiri Thistle was stunned.
"At that time, this incident caused a lot of backlash. The Japanese Jida thought that their prestige was being challenged, so they gathered... five thousand or six thousand elites, and also hired many well-known martial artists to seek revenge on Mr. Liu's friends. , and the entire army was wiped out... That night, I remember that people later called it 'The Night of Bloody Blood'!"
Nakiri Senzaemon sighed.
Nakiri Kiku swallowed his saliva. He had also heard of the "Yakuza Bloody Night", but he had always thought that it was a fight between the Yakuza, but he never thought that it would be done by one person, let alone... This murder was probably caused by a cook!
