Food Wars!: God's Tongue is no match for me.

That thirst for knowledge grew stronger in his heart, driving him to personally taste the Ishikari Nabe.

……

All I can see is that...

He carefully scooped up a bowl of steaming soup.

The soup was clear and enticing, exuding an indescribable aroma. Taking a sip felt like savoring the world's most precious wine.

However, the moment he stepped into the mouth, his expression froze, and he was completely stunned!

The soup slowly glides over the tip of the tongue.

It brings an unprecedented fresh experience and distinct layers of flavor.

Gulu gulu!

As the soup slid down his throat and into his body, he was surprised to find a warm current flowing wildly through his body.

Like an ancient power awakened, it activated trillions of his cells.

"This……"

Shocked, Soma realized something.

I wanted to stretch or move a few fingers, but I found that I couldn't move my whole body.

Suddenly, before he could savor the experience, he began to feel his consciousness fading away, as if he were about to fall into an endless dream.

……

"Soma, it's time to wake up."

Just then, a hand patted his head, instantly bringing him back to his senses.

"Dad!"

"My senses seem to be on the verge of..."

"That's the most terrifying thing about this Ishikari Nabe dish."

"If you don't have strong self-control, you'll be dragged into a world of fantasy from which you can't escape!"

"Ichiro explained."

Chapter 42 New Recipe: Crispy Stir-fried Beef Ho Fun

"Ding dong!"

"The character Yukihira Joichiro, who is bound to the system, is shocked after tasting the host's Ishikari Nabe dish."

"Ding dong!"

"Joichiro Yukihira, good review +1"

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, host, you have gained 20 skill points. Recipe: Crispy Stir-fried Beef Noodles."

Which dishes are enough to judge a person's culinary skills?

As a die-hard fan of Cantonese cuisine, my first words are:

Stir-fried beef noodles!

Almost all Cantonese chefs, whether apprenticing or seeking employment, are required to prepare a dish called stir-fried beef noodles, which is a fundamental part of Cantonese cuisine.

Stir-fried beef noodles require a strong wok hei (wok aroma), which necessitates high heat and rapid stir-frying.

While stir-frying evenly, the flour should not be broken up, and the amount of oil must be accurately controlled, otherwise it will become oily and taste bad.

Should I use wide or thin rice noodles?

Should I use dark soy sauce or dry soy sauce?

How many bean sprouts should I use?

How do you control the heat?

These issues, when examined closely, constitute a vast field of knowledge.

In almost all northern restaurants in China, as well as Cantonese restaurants overseas, it is very difficult to make this home-style dish well!

……

In the movie "The Golden Age".

Chaofan Group Chairman Xiong Xinxin created this crispy stir-fried beef chow fun dish in the back kitchen of Manhanlou using a method where almost no ingredients are put into the pot.

Especially the scene where, after the dish is cooked, cooking wine is poured over it and it's lit with a lighter, is particularly poignant:

A stroke of genius!

"Life is indeed full of surprises."

"Who would have thought that we would get this crispy stir-fried beef noodles dish from Ichiro's praise?"

Upon hearing the system's voice, Lin Xu couldn't help but be taken aback.

Although the system's rewards are random each time, they may be recipes, kitchen utensils, skill points, or all of them.

But now he is gradually discovering that the stronger the character bound to the system, the richer the rewards he will receive after his cooking is recognized and praised!

……

late at night.

The lights in Xinping Dingshiwu gradually dimmed.

The door slowly closed, signaling the quiet end of a busy day.

Soma carefully wipes down each dining table, restoring them to their clean state as if they had just been there that morning.

The steamer and the iron pot had long since cooled down.

But the lingering aroma of the food still filled the air, sparking the imagination.

Outside, the night was as dark as ink, and the scattered streetlights began to guide those returning home.

This small set meal shop is like a tranquil haven in the bustling city, always providing a moment of peace and satisfaction for passing diners.

at this time.

It rests quietly, waiting for the next dawn!

WGO Executive Officer Lin Xu chose to leave soon after receiving the system's rewards.

But before leaving, he did not reveal his final rating of the diner to Joichiro and the others, citing the confidentiality of his job as an executive officer!

……

Under the light.

With an almost ritualistic solemnity, Joichiro began to wipe the kitchen knife in his hand.

This sharp knife accompanied him through countless days and nights, and witnessed countless miracles of ingredients being transformed into delicious dishes in his hands.

At last.

The blade was polished until it gleamed.

It reflected his face, which had become increasingly weathered by the years.

Through the reflection of the blade, Joichiro seemed to return to his youth, a time when he was invincible and full of vigor.

But... time waits for no one!

Now, he was so shocked by a dish of Ishikari Nabe made by the young man Lin Xu that he almost doubted his life.

“It’s hard to imagine.”

"Under Lin Xu's guidance, what direction and changes will the Far Moon Sect take in the future?"

Jōichirō sighed softly, pulling his thoughts back from the past to reality, and his gaze fell on his son, who was busy in every corner of the diner.

Whenever he thinks of his figure moving around in the kitchen, sometimes skillfully handling ingredients, sometimes focusing intently on adjusting the heat, that focus and dedication reminds him of his younger self.

Looking at Soma, I couldn't help but feel a mix of complex emotions.

……

"Soma."

"What is your dream, no, what do you plan to do in the future?"

Finally, when everything was temporarily over, Shiroichiro decided to have a good talk with his son.

"Dad, is that even a question?"

"Of course, I'll do everything I can to surpass you and make this set meal restaurant even more successful!"

Soma answered without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Joichiro shook his head when he looked at Soma.

He was satisfied with everything about his son, except that he was too attached to this set meal restaurant!

"It's worthless."

"What achievements can one make by staying here for the rest of one's life?"

"Ichiro said helplessly."

"Dad!"

"What happened to you today?"

"When I answer like this, don't you always encourage me to hone my cooking skills so that I'll have a chance to beat you in the future?"

"Besides, what right do you have to talk about me like that?"

"Aren't you the same? You've spent your whole life running this Yukihira diner?"

Chuangzhen was puzzled, thinking to himself that his father might not be able to accept the fact that he had been defeated by Lin Xu for a while.

……

"When I first wanted to become a chef, my only motivation was to earn a living."

"Therefore, being able to eat well and have a decent job after graduation is considered to have a future and a career."

"maybe."

"It was my youthful arrogance that led me astray."

"In the end, I still took some detours."

"I know many people who have been chefs for a long time in this industry, and their cooking skills are all excellent."

"For example, there is a Cantonese chef in China who was already a top-level chef 20 years ago, when he was only 28 years old."

"Later, with the rise of China's market economy, he went into business, first contracting kitchens, then opening fast food restaurants, and then working for large companies. In the end, he developed varicose veins and was confined to a wheelchair at just over 50 years old!"

"And such examples abound throughout the entire food industry."

Therefore.

Sometimes, I just think about it.

"Let's take you, my foolish son, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the world."

“Running a set meal shop in this small place may not be the best way out.”

Shiroichiro looked at Soma with loving eyes.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Soma fell into deep thought.

……

"This is a set meal restaurant."

"I've made up my mind to close down in three months, and you don't need to try to persuade me otherwise!"

Yukihira Joichiro withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with determination.

"what?"
