Chapter 193 Everything Can Be Caviar (6K)

Are you a cold cut too?
Ye Shanliang turned around suddenly.

On the judging panel, five pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.

If Ryo Hayama’s dish is “Sanma Carpaccio Cold Dishes”, the fish meat is piled on a mountain of spices.

So, Alice’s dish, a whole saury, is wrapped in crystal clear “caviar”.

At first glance!
I thought it was saury swimming leisurely in the fish tanks and pools made of “caviar”.

The vibrant breath of life flows out naturally.

Ye Shanliang’s expression changed: “The fish… is alive?”

“What kind of driving force is this?!”

Alice raised the corners of her lips: “A small level 1 bronze ingredient, handle it!”

Ye Shanliang: “…”

boom.

Placing the plate on the review table, Alice said, “I don’t mind serving the dishes together so the judges can taste them together.”

Ye Shanliang took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn’t show his weakness here, “I don’t mind!”

boom.

Place the second plate on the table.

Instead, the five judges present looked at each other in bewilderment.

We are serving the dishes together, so which one should we eat first?

After all, there is a priority order for tasting, and the advantages and disadvantages of tasting first and later are obvious.

“Boss Xia, what do you think?” Nakiri Senzaemon laughed.

“It all depends on your mood. Eat the dish that appeals to you the most first.”

Xia An said, noticing that the other four members of the jury were looking at him, indicating that he should move the cutlery first.

So, without any hesitation, he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the “Sanma Carpaccio Cold Dish” from Ryo Hayama.

“please wait a while.”

Ye Shanliang suddenly said, and in the puzzled gaze of everyone, he took a step forward, turned on the switch of the flamethrower, and used the flame to roast the fish and spices on the plate.

laugh–

The originally white fish meat now has a light burnt color on the surface.

At the same time, the complex spice scent forms an extremely aggressive whirlwind.

“How many spices are used?”

The judges, who had different opinions and were hesitant about which dish to eat first, all looked at him in surprise and interest.

Shiomi Jun took a breath of the spice.

The baby-faced spice authority, Professor Totsuki, smiled:

“This is how good Hayama-san is at controlling spices.”

“And for this saury dish, he used… the spice subtraction formula!”

Xia An smiled and spoke, causing everyone to look over:

“In addition to the ‘subtraction formula’, there is also the ’emphasis formula’. Look everyone——”

Following the direction Xia An pointed with his chopsticks.

Everyone’s eyes and cameras were focused on it.

“Mr. Yeshan obviously coated the fish with a layer of ‘sauce base’, so the burnt color on the surface of the fish was so prominent after it was roasted with the flamethrower. And the majority of the smell of the aggressive aroma just now came from this layer of sauce base and burnt color.”

Hear the words.

Ye Shanliang was quite surprised, but then he found it reasonable.

Boss Xia, Chef Xia An, is a shining creator and recreator of ancient dishes. It is normal to see the exquisite craftsmanship on his plates at a glance.

With this kind of “backhand” turning point

Except for Xia An who started eating first.

The other four judges also started eating Ye Shanliang’s dishes.

Witness this scene.

A confident arc appeared on Ye Shanliang’s lips.

Exclamations and heated discussions rang out one after another.

“This final paper by Mr. Yeshan can be called ‘three and a half stars’, which is close to the four-star level.”

After tasting it, Xia An praised it highly.

You know, before going to Shenzhou for training, Erina Nakiri, one of the top ten, was only a four-star culinary expert.

It makes sense, doesn’t it, that Ryo Hayama, a student with the gift of “God’s Nose”, is close to the top freshman of this year, Erina Nakiri?

“But… my control over [Boneless Saury] is low.”

“If it weren’t for the low control level, this dish would be firmly at the four-star level.”

The other four judges nodded in agreement.

“This is my first time cooking [boneless saury], and it’s great to have this level of control.”

“You can’t blame Hayama-san.”

“Although [Boneless Saury] is very similar to ordinary saury, fantasy ingredients are fantasy ingredients!”

Amidst a chorus of praise, the judges finished eating Ye Shanliang’s dishes.

Next, it was time to taste Alice’s dishes.

“Use a fork and spoon.”

Alice reminded the judges.

Xia An held the fork and asked, “Do you want to tear the fish meat out?”

Alice said, “Yes, tear the fish meat with a fork and mix it with the ‘caviar’ to eat.”

“There are three colors of ‘caviar’ on the plate. The light golden color is lemon-flavored caviar, and the transparent and bubbly one is the popping wine caviar.”

“There is also a soy sauce-colored one, which is a compound seasoning.”

Three colors of caviar surround the simply grilled saury in Japanese style.

Xia An is already familiar with caviar in molecular cuisine.

Or.

Xia An’s ears were so tired of hearing Alice’s words –

“Everything can be caviar”!
Apparently, the pale yellow lemon-flavored caviar is made from solid lemon juice.

Xia An was most interested in the “Exploding Pearl Wine Caviar”.

He scooped up the fish meat with a spoon, mixed it with the translucent bubbly caviar that overflowed from the spoon, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Puff puff–

Teeth pressed.

The caviar particles burst open.

The strong sparkling wine flavor immediately takes over the mouth.

“Sparkling soda, light rum.”

“Mint and lime juice.”

A small piece of torn saury meat blows the horn of freshness in the mouth, making it difficult to ignore its presence.

When chewing further.

The delicious taste of the fish meat plays a passionate march in the shock wave of the exploding beads.

Surging!

Full of life!

“Rip…” Xia An seemed to be able to hear the sound of his clothes being torn, and the other four judges also exclaimed in extreme enjoyment.

The broadcast camera captured this scene.

The teachers and students of Totsuki fell silent instantly, and the entire “Between the Moon and the Sky” venue was completely silent.

Looking at the commander-in-chief of Totsuki, whose clothes were already torn, sitting in the main seat.

Nakiri Erina’s eyes were full of vigilance:
“I didn’t expect her progress to be so fast!”

As the eldest sister, Hojo Miyoko, who was also somewhere in the stands, had mixed feelings. She was happy for Alice, but also anxious about her own cooking skills.

Alice’s cooking skills are four stars.

And what about her?
Not progressing fast enough!
no doubt.

When Alice’s dish was in the back, it could make the five judges, including Nakiri Senzaemon, “have their clothes torn”.

The winner of this finals has already been revealed.

……

“Lost?”

Until the show was over, Ye Shanliang was still confused.

“My ‘subtraction’ and ’emphasis’ spice formula, lost?”

Shiomi Jun stayed behind to comfort Ye Shanliang, who was also a disciple and a child:

“Alice’s three-color ‘caviar’, especially the ‘bursting caviar’, is a perfect example of how molecular gastronomy techniques can perfectly control fantasy ingredients. It can be included in the Totsuki textbook.”

The corner of Ye Shanliang’s mouth twitched: “Run, are you here to comfort me, or to finish me off?”

Then, determination reappeared on his face.

“It’s just a freshman fall selection competition. There are also the ‘Red Leaf Hunting Competition’, ‘Field Study’, ‘Campus Festival’ and other events. I have plenty of chances to defeat her!”

Xi Jianrun seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

……

the other side.

“Master, I win!”

Alice Nakiri brought a gust of fragrance, her little face flushed, and she threw herself into Xia An’s arms excitedly.

stare–

This action immediately attracted many vigilant eyes.

Xiao Lin Long Dan Oh Huo teased, “Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, huh? Is this considered a reward for winning the finals?”

Hojo Miyoko agreed: “I think so.”

Erina Nakiri sneered:
“Be more reserved, my lady Alice!”

Alice didn’t care about these malicious looks and words, and pulled Xia An’s arm:
“Master, Master, I won the championship in the finals and brought honor to our sect, so what is your reward?”

Xia An thought for two or three seconds, then said with a smile:
“I’ll give you an exclusive dish as a reward for winning the championship.”

Oh?
Alice’s eyes sparkled.

The group returned to the Nakiri residence.

Xia An packed his luggage and handed the “reward” to Alice who was waiting in the lobby.

“Wow, it really is a brand new dish?”

Alice opened the lunch box and saw steam rising from it. It turned out to be a mixed stir-fry.

The sweet aroma of fruits and vegetables fills the hall.

There is also an extremely strong and mellow wheat aroma.

Erina kept sniffing, staring at the lunch box in Alice’s hand, trying her best to suppress her envy, and whispered softly:
“Is rice cake the main ingredient?”

“The side dishes include persimmons, pears, carrots, and Chinese cabbage…”

Midoriko and Kobayashi Ryodan surrounded them in surprise.

“Spicy rice cake?”

“Master, is this rice cake some kind of high-end fantasy ingredient? My head is buzzing as I inhale the smell.”

Hear the words.

Xia An smiled slightly: “This dish is called “Spicy Stir-fried Rice Cakes”, and the main ingredient is a level 40 fantasy ingredient called “Rice Cake Stone”.”

Level 40 ingredients?

The female disciples were startled.

Alice: “Hey, Master, didn’t you emphasize again and again that high-quality ingredients should not be consumed rashly unless they are perfectly processed?”

Xia An: “So this is a dish that has been perfectly processed with [Rice Cake Stone], so I brought it out for you to eat.”

Alice closed the lunch box with a click of her hand.

“This is my championship reward, I want to enjoy it alone! Let’s go!”

Alice said, and she quickly slipped away.

? ?
Erina, Midori, and Kobayashi Ryodo were stunned for a long time.

“Longdan-chan, we should leave for the airport.”

Xia An handed a kitchenware box to Xiaolin Longdan and asked this female disciple who was about to graduate to help carry it.

As for himself, he was carrying a metal box containing a replica of the [Tanlang Pot].

Actually.

In order to achieve quick results, he threw a lot of rice cake stones into the [Tanlang Pot] in the past few days and processed them with magical powers.

It seems that because the level of [Rice Cake Stone] is quite high, the probability of successful processing is much lower than when processing [Potatoes, Carrots, Onions and Chicken].

There is only about a 20% chance of success.

Fortunately, [Rice Cake Stone] can be obtained steadily in the cracks of the cave world, so there is no need to worry about wasting or consumption.

Moreover, Xia An did not throw a whole [rice cake stone] as big as a football into the legendary kitchenware, but cut it into five parts and tried to process them separately.

When the face is successfully assembled, there will always be a small piece among the five pieces that can be processed into the “perfect ingredient”.

therefore.

All you need to master the recipe of “Spicy Fried Rice Cake” is to quickly achieve 100% perfect cooking!

……

Soon after, on a flight to Hokkaido.

Xia An and Xiaolin Gentian.

Tsuyoshi Higashino and his personal maid Kumiko.

A group of four people were sitting in business class.

“Are you sure you don’t want [Gin Tide]?”

Dong Ye Gang was surprised when he heard Xia An say to put the ingredients aside for the time being. Xia An: “I asked someone else to buy it.”

That’s right.

Sun Yun, the eldest sister of the Sun family, was extremely efficient. She informed Xia An the next day that the goods had been obtained and arranged for someone to deliver them to his door.

As for Xia An, he only had to pay a sum of igo points and the payment was settled.

You know, not long ago, Xia An earned a huge sum of about 600 million points by selling the flesh and blood of a whole [Kaira Giant Crocodile Leader] and other ferocious beast materials.

[Gin Tide] is expensive.

It is produced from the level 33 [Dionysus Whale], and can only be obtained at a specific time point when the [Dionysus Whale] emerges every three years.

Scarcity is almost maxed out.

The price of every 100 grams of [Gin Tide] is 2000 igo points!

Ingredients comparable to level 40 diamond grade!
Xia An bought out the supplier’s [Gin Tide], which had a total net weight of 10 jin and a total price of 10 points.

Of course, he moved all the ingredients to the coastal base of the food world and stored them in a replica of the [Spiritual Storage], and all that was left was to mix them.

“Although the ingredients are already in hand, the Regeneration Master’s contract recipe can be put aside for now.”

Dozing in the cabin, Xia An thought to himself:
“Urgent priority.”

“It is Sequence 4 of the sequence [Omnipotence]!”

Xia An quietly unfolded the previously hidden reward list.

Just focus on the first option.

“Option ①: Gourmet Cell Sequence 4 [Universal]”

“Fortunately, I have a replica of the Tan Lang pot, which can be quickly processed to obtain a perfect [Rice Cake Stone].”

“In this way, even if I face backlash after selecting Sequence 4 of [Universal], I can still eat the food and eliminate the backlash on the spot!”

About two hours later.

Everyone arrived at Sapporo Airport in Hokkaido.

In November, the temperature in Hokkaido starts to get cold.

Xia An was almost immune to cold and heat, but Xiao Lin Longdan was so cold that he opened his suitcase on the spot and put on a down jacket.

Higashino Tsuyoshi: “The place we are going to is a ‘Cat Island’, near Ishikari Bay in the Central Hokkaido region.”

“Let’s go to Otaru City and stay overnight. Tomorrow is the ‘Cat Island Festival’.”

Xia An was arranged by Tsuyoshi Higashino to take a bus from Sapporo to Otaru.

Overnight at the Harbour Hotel.

Draw open the curtains of the sea view room and look out to the end of Ishikari Bay, where you can vaguely see the outline of an island.

“Master, I searched on the Internet, and the locals in Otaru said that the ‘Cat Island’ suddenly appeared six or seven years ago.” Kobayashi Ryodan put down the kitchenware box.

“sudden appearance?”

“Yes, and the temperature on that ‘Cat Island’ is like spring all year round.”

Xia An had a vague guess in his mind.

It is estimated that the food world has “invaded” Blue Star, or in other words, the two worlds are merging.

Similar [coordinate points] gradually increase in number, which is a sign of the progress of fusion.

“Are there any ferocious beasts on the island?”

“No, there are only cats… cute cats everywhere.”

Ok?
Xia An thought to himself that something was wrong.

Could it be that he will entertain cats at the [Cat Island Festival] tomorrow?
At this time!

Ding dong.

A message from Takeshi Higashino popped up on my phone.

[Takashi Higashino: Have you ever raised a cat? Can you cook cat food? ]

【Xia An: I have raised one before, so I know how to make it. 】

【Takashi Higashino: That’s good. According to the tradition over the years, the ‘Cat Island Festival’ is the Cat God Festival. At that time, all the cats on the island will be the customers of your festival food stall. 】

[If the reception is successful and the cat customers are satisfied, each cat will leave ‘Cat God Coins’. ]

[Only the food stall owner who has obtained the most ‘Cat God Coins’ can meet the Lord Cat God, receive His blessing, and thus be qualified to travel back and forth in the food world. ]

【According to my experience, cat meals that use fantasy ingredients are more likely to be favored by cat customers. 】

[So, you can now come up with a recipe for cat food. It’s still in time to order the ingredients and have them delivered to the island tomorrow! ]

Lots of information.

Cat food?

Cheyenne certainly does.

Just fill it up with meat, fish and shrimp.

The main focus is on big fish and meat.

“Is it true that fantasy ingredients are more likely to be favored by cat customers?”

Xiaolin Longdan came closer and saw the content of Dongye Gang’s message. He was shocked and said, “Isn’t that just burning money?”

“Whoever has sufficient fantasy food supplies and high-quality food will definitely receive the most ‘Cat God Coins’!”

Xia An smiled and said, “Not necessarily. If you only pile up high-end fantasy ingredients but the taste is terrible, those cat customers will dislike it.”

Xiaolin Longdan rolled up his sleeves:

“Anyway, Master, I will help you to become the number one seller at the food stall at the Cat Island Festival this time!”

Xia An asked Xiaolin Longdan to go back and rest, and recharge his energy for tomorrow’s festival.

He teleported himself to the coastal base and plopped down on a recliner.

Fantasy food supply?

Look ahead at the endless sea.

Turn around and look at the resource-rich volcanic island behind.

If that’s not enough.

Under your feet is a cave world.

With such abundant food ingredients and stable sources, who is afraid of whom?
“First, there must be shrimp or fish.”

“It’s too late to practice fishing skills now, so I can only go into the water and fight for the fish myself!”

Thinking of this, Xia An exhaled and his eyes gradually became firm.

Gourmet Cells, 【Universal】Sequence 4…

It’s done!

Bricks fly with great force!

Instantly gain hunting combat power comparable to the Pseudo-Lin Chef in the Food Tyrant route, so why bother about the characteristics?
Xia An turned over and sat up, opening the replica of the [Spiritual Storage] placed in the base.

In addition to two sealed jars of [Gin Tide].

There is also the level 46 [Ruby Crab], but the crab has been cut, the crab meat and crab roe are packed separately, and the crab shell is washed and placed separately, so there is no need to worry about freshness and shelf life.

Finally, the rice cake stones that were perfectly and quickly made by the [Tanlang Pot] were piled in one after another. The net weight was about 5 kilograms, which was definitely enough to deal with the possible backlash.

……

[Ingredients: “Clean rice cake stone with the stone skin removed” (99.8%)]

[Grade: Diamond (40 Capture Level)]

[Processing score: 99.8]

[The delicious Fantasy Rice Cake, after being processed and purified by the Tanlang Pot (fake), has become the “perfect thing” in the eyes of chefs]

……

Xia An was very satisfied with this food illustration.

“Next, I’ll spend some money on ‘Spicy Rice Cake’.”

“Just max out your recipe proficiency.”

Allocate cooking experience points in one go.

[Proficiency: Beginner → Getting Started → Minor Success → Major Success → Perfection]

Maybe it was because the recipe level was not low, and he was controlling a level 40 rice cake stone, Xia An’s huge amount of cooking experience points that he had accumulated were instantly used up.

Xia An did not delay and took out 5 kilograms of perfect rice cake cubes from the [Spiritual Storage] and started cooking the dishes.

He had previously stored a lot of supplementary ingredients such as persimmons, pears, carrots, and cabbages, quietly moving them like an ant moving house.

“Sigh–“

The sound of frying soon echoed throughout the coastal base.

Simultaneously.

The base has installed solar photovoltaic power generation, the batteries have been fully charged, and the range hood is running smoothly.

“Finish!”

Many plates of steaming stir-fried rice cakes filled the kitchen counter.

Even when the last dish of “Spicy Fried Rice Cake” was served, the sacred culinary glow was right on my face.

Holding grass?

A glowing and perfect version of “Chilling Spicy Rice Cake”!
I’m afraid that just eating this one plate will completely solve the backlash problem?

Xia An thought of the [Unpalatable Seal]. This curse was much more terrible than the backlash of the devil.

Since even curses can be cured, there is no reason why the backlash cannot be cured quickly.

Now, Xia An felt more at ease.

All the best!

Then…

Xia An unfolded the hidden reward list for the last time.

[Option ① has been locked, the host obtains “Universal” Sequence 4]”

The moment the prompt pops up on the panel.

A tremendous force was injected into Xia An’s body out of nowhere.

The sudden severe pain felt like his whole body was being torn apart, causing Xia An to break out in a cold sweat and grit his teeth.

After a while, the severe pain gradually subsided.

But whispers, curses, and ridicule followed and lingered in my ears.

“Ha ha ha ha……”

A milky white figure emerged from behind Xia An.

It has no face, only a pair of cold and vicious eyes, staring coldly at Xia An, the “host”.

It tried to use its hands and feet to break free from the cage, intending to escape from Xia An’s body.

“This is backlash!”

Xia An was sweating profusely.

With extremely strong willpower and trembling hands, he lifted up the entire plate of the glowing, perfect version of “Spicy Fried Rice Cake”.

eat.

No cutlery is required.

Just open your mouth and eat!

“Delicious, delicious delicacy…” The voice lingering in the ears suddenly changed, full of disbelief.

The milky white demon shadow that had been struggling, now with hungry eyes, screamed madly and dived back into Xia An’s body.

After a while, the whole plate of rice cake cubes was eaten.

The sound in my ears disappeared completely.

The body is also completely under control.

Xia An was silent for a while before taking a deep breath:

“No wonder Dong Yegang wanted to find someone to treat his illness. If I hadn’t prepared in advance and suppressed the demon in the early stage of the backlash, I would have faced a very torturous tug-of-war!”

I couldn’t help but look inward at my body.

A perfect dish in a glowing version, with incredible power.

There was no trace of the milky white demon in the body.

It must have been suppressed to the deepest level, or the devil’s negative will was completely wiped out?

“This is… the power of Sequence 4?”

Xia An pushed open the gate of the base, stepped onto the beach, clenched his fist, and punched the distant sea.

boom–

The fist energy surged, leaving deep penetrating marks on the beach.

next second.

Huge waves exploded on the sea.

“Haha, it’s really powerful!” Xia An laughed, “If I use this sequence of power to perform [Nail Gun Fist], what kind of armor can’t be broken?”

at the same time.

New types of panel data pop up automatically:

[Host: Xia An]

【Combat Occupation: Gourmet Hunter】

【Cell Sequence: Universal】

[Strength/Level: Sequence 4]

[Food Demon: Suppressed (Banned)]

[The characteristic of universal cells is ‘nothing’. It is the most widely compatible sequence pathway. Any cook can become a gourmet hunter through this sequence and pathway.]

[Ding, the host can consume 10 food skill points to forget and erase this sequence and cells. Please operate with caution. ]

Ah this?

Can I wash it some more?

Xia An was shocked.

The next prompt pops up again.

[Ding, based on the ‘omnipotent’ feature, the host can also consume 10 food skill points to perform the first cell engulfment and fusion. The risk depends on the engulfment target, please operate with caution…]
