Banquet dishes, banquet dishes, there is an important point in them that many Dragon Chefs and even the King of Heaven did not pay attention to, or even ignored.
Because banquet dishes are actually a unique aspect of Zhongzhou culture, they evolved into banquet dishes in foreign countries and became part of the celebration. Therefore, the dishes default to the emotions and context that should be present during festive times.
But only Zhongzhou cuisine people understand the most critical point.
That is, different banquet dishes also have different emotional expressions, and you can even use the dishes to talk about Taoism.
The themes of any kind of banquet dishes are actually subtly different, and the dishes will be subtly different starting from the cold appetizers.
Take fish as an example. In addition to the different cooking methods caused by different regions, generally speaking, the fish in Baishi is mainly fried, and is paired with a sweet and sour taste, which can alleviate the sadness of the taster.
The aroma of fried noodles and protein can also improve everyone's happiness.
For general happy events, especially weddings, steamed fish is the main method, because the taste represented by steaming is peaceful and simple, and I hope that the future of the newlyweds can be so simple and delicious.
And for the two families of the newlyweds, the departure of their children still has some mixed feelings of joy and sadness. Steamed fish can calm these emotions very well, allowing the elders of both families to accept it better.
There is such an obvious difference just by looking at a fish dish, and there are more details to understand, such as what kind of poultry is used, whether it is chicken, duck, or other pigeons.
Or what part of the pig is used as the main meat dish? Why is it that the main meat dish in banquet dishes is basically pork.
It can be said that just the details of the banquet dishes are enough to make many people dizzy. They also contain quite a lot of 'rituals' that have been passed down from ancient times in Zhongzhou, and are taken for granted by people, even as natural as breathing.
And if these things are not explained in detail to people from other cultural circles, it is almost impossible to understand them at all.
It is impossible to grasp the essence of natural banquet dishes, which leads to the fact that even the Dongying cuisine community so close to Zhongzhou has a lot of incomprehension when faced with Zhao Fuyu and the four kings of Zhongsheng Pavilion who discuss cooking.
...
"If Mr. Buyeo's cooking is to pursue a more direct collision of cooking methods and does not use fantasy ingredients, I can understand it."
"Why don't those kings in the Pavilion of All Saints use fantasy ingredients?"
"Can they also make dishes using dreamy ingredients and seasonings?!"
This kind of thing may seem very simple, but how to apply it to all dishes to add an unusual taste to ordinary ingredients will definitely require long-term experiments.
Ordinary cooks may not even be able to master this skill easily.
But it feels as if the four kings of the All Saints Pavilion did not use dream ingredients, but were preparing to learn Zhao Fuyu's way of using seasonings, which is simply incredible.
“This is to truly have a collision of cooking techniques.”
"Don't underestimate these saints from the All Saints Pavilion. Their accumulation in the realm of the Heavenly King has exceeded your imagination."
"Perhaps even all the other heavenly kings in the world combined are not as sacred as these Pavilions of Saints."
"Otherwise, given Mr. Fuyu's level, why would he discuss cooking with them?"
There are also people who understand the key, but they are also a little unable to understand that being able to discuss the realm of cooking with Zhao Fuyu does not mean that the level of cooking is really comparable.
Giving up the fantasy ingredients that have their own advantages and using ordinary ingredients to meet the enemy is considered unwise even in the culinary world.
But the two parties involved in the kitchen discussion didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the other party.
This is thought-provoking...
There are still too few people in the Heavenly King realm in Dongying. There are several beings with extraordinary power who have broken through to the True God level, but there are still not many who can successfully break through to the Heavenly King realm.
On the contrary, the opportunities are not as great as those of the younger generation.
But he didn't have a sharp eye, and he quickly noticed the key context.
In fact, only after understanding this context, both parties chose ordinary ingredients for cooking, which truly showed that they recognized each other's qualifications as a chef.
Otherwise, do you really think that Zhao Fuyu’s state of Weishen is just for a living?
An opponent who can't even see through his obvious posture, or who dares not fight in the ring after seeing through it, is simply not worth his effort in discussing cooking.
...
"So that's how it is."
"It seems that the two sides are really competing with each other."
Being aware of the context does not mean that he has enough experience to explain clearly. On the contrary, it is Seiichiro Yukihira, the new king who has traveled to most countries and regions around the world, who sees the clues.
You must know that when he travels, he has different habits from ordinary people. He especially likes to go to those nook and cranny places, especially to participate in some local folk customs, weddings and funerals that ordinary people or traveling cooks cannot enter. In the process of getting married.
I soon realized which direction the main dishes and context on both sides were heading.
"One is great joy, the other is great sadness."
"The two basic main lines of banquet cuisine will be reappeared in front of us at this time."
"Although the earliest banquets originated from the palace and were inherited from ancient sacrificial dishes, after years of evolution, they have long been closely related to the folk customs of Zhongzhou."
Knowing what he would be asked when he opened his mouth, Seiichiro opened the conversation directly and told all the details.
So he quickly analyzed the key to cooking, which also made everyone present shine.
Even many of the king-level saints in Zhongsheng Pavilion who were very familiar with both sides of the cuisine had their brows furrowed. When they heard this man speak, they finally saw clearly the context of the two sides' cooking.
"Happiness and sorrow, this is the direction that both banquet dishes need to pursue."
"But the details to be included and how to achieve the effect of embodying the ideological realm depend on the skill of each cook."
"Unity, integrity, this is very important!"
It was as if the layer of fog in front of me had been lifted. At this moment, looking at the dishes on both sides, I finally felt like I had a sudden enlightenment.
But that alone is not enough. Underneath the context mentioned by Seiichiro Yukihira, there are two more contexts hidden.
This is the key to the discussion between the two parties!
One is whether they dare to confront each other head-on after seeing this first level of connection.
And the second thing...that is, Zhao Fuyu has given up Xi's side. Can you seize this opportunity? Can you be mentally stable?
In fact, even though it is just a cooking showdown, the psychological competition and momentum showdown have already begun...
