Chapter 804: For the Dragon (II)
"Food Picture!"
This is Xia Yu's first strong impression when he eats the old man's bamboo rice.
In the past, Xia Yu told his opponents and students more than once that the chef was actually the painter who swiped his pen on a blank canvas.
The ingredients are naturally the chef's pigments.
Comprehended the way of "painting" early, so along the way, Xia Yu created a lot of exquisite works, such as the divine beast Vermilion Bird reborn in "Nine Feathers of Fire Phoenix", and the Peacock King of Peacock with five feathers flashing with five elements of glow in "Peacock Dance......
Before tasting the old man's bamboo rice, if someone dared to challenge him in the aspect of "painting", Xia Yu would definitely be full of confidence and snort and throw out a cruel sentence like "You don't know anything about food".
However.
At this moment, tasting a dragon chef's halberd cooking works, Xia Yu's world view was refreshed.
I couldn't help but put down my chopsticks again and stuffed the second bite of bamboo rice into my mouth.
Chew and chew.
The rice grains cooked through the "tube grill" are fragrant and have the original flavor of the flame.
In addition to the softness of the glutinous rice, there is also the taut texture of chewed japonica rice.
That's right.
Bamboo rice, not only glutinous rice or only japonica rice, the old man takes both, the ratio of glutinous rice and japonica rice is about 3 to 1, which greatly enriches the layering of rice, chewing it down, soft with a little crispy, very refreshing.
"Grains of rice, form that white canvas, so that the old man has room to play. Xia Yu had a feeling in his eyes.
The main ingredient, rice, turned out to be the base for painting!
The old man only used ordinary glutinous rice and japonica rice to pull out a sufficiently spacious canvas.
"Taste it again!"
After comprehending the meaning of "Flurry Dance", Xia Yu can also use ordinary ingredients to construct a huge and complex food conception to defeat the delicate things on the surface. Therefore, the old man's ink here only amazed Xia Yu, and it was not to the extent of being ashamed.
What really shocked him, and what filled his chest with long-lost emotion was the sudden burst of splendor in his mouth during the process of chewing rice grains.
Bamboo leaves.
Fresh bamboo shoots.
and small meat of game cooked in bibimbap.
The bamboo forest is secluded, Xia Yu flows barefoot across the stream, stands next to the side of the thatched hut piano platform, closes his eyes lightly, and listens to the music quietly.
By eating the grains of rice in his mouth, what Xia Yu saw and heard was so vivid and vivid.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Qing and the old man.
"How's it going?"
Zhu Qing asked impatiently, his eyes flashing with curiosity.
Xia Yu opened his mouth, "Delicious?"
He shook his head.
"I don't want to say 'delicious'. ”
Hearing this, Yan Qi and Xia Qing were stunned for a moment, and then a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Did he really come to his senses?
didn't expect his grandson to give such an evaluation, Xia Qing sat across the tea table with his arms crossed as usual, and cast his eyes coolly, "Oh? Let's talk about it specifically, tell your truest thoughts." ”
Xia Yu took a breath, "Interesting!
"Hah-"
"This is an evaluation of the food?!"
Zhu Qing's eyes widened, confused, but Yan Qi and the old man had smiles on their faces.
"How can I say it......"
Xia Yu was also a little speechless for a while, grabbed a piece of bamboo tube on the table, smelled the faint fragrance of bamboo, and in his head, he saw the bamboo forest picture scroll through the smell and actual tasting.
In this painting, there are bamboos, streams, small animals, and a thatched hut and a piano girl who is secretly hanging down.
It's like taking a real fragment of what happened in the past, intercepting it and recording it on the canvas with a brush.
Right!
Record the real picture of all kinds of situations!
Suddenly, Xia Yu grabbed that fleeting inspiration and couldn't help blurting out: "It's like a picture of the river during the Qingming Festival......"
"Qingming Riverside Map, what does this have to do with cuisine and food?" Zhu Qing was even more confused.
Xia Yu spread out his hand and looked at Yan Qi and the old man's eyes, "You see, the famous painting of the Qingming Shanghe Picture clearly records the prosperous style of the Northern Song Dynasty Bianjing City." Such a large canvas, there are cows, mules and donkeys, houses, bridges, and downtown scenes...... These elements are all vivid and interesting. ”
"Fun, it's in those glittering materials!"
"Every material is glowing!"
He added one last sentence.
Yes.
After tasting the old man's bamboo tube rice, Xia Yu had already roughly depicted the higher-level "painting skills" in his head.
Everything, everything!
An invisible magnificence!
In other words, all the ingredients used, regardless of their quality, become "images" on the canvas, and each one can be taken out to form a magnificent work of cuisine, which has a powerful power to penetrate the hearts of diners.
"Is the ingredients shining? No, all the ingredients are shining. ”
My mind subconsciously turns to the recipe of life.
Combined with Takashi Sekiya's "Lava Seafood Bisque" recipe that he borrowed, the swordfish material shines on this special chef's life cookbook.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu had an aftershock: "The special chef's life recipe has only one kind of material flashing. And the old man's bamboo rice, all the materials seem to be shining and concretizing...... Is this an old man's experience with the recipes of life?"
Just vaguely glimpsed a corner of the vague dragon realm scenery, Xia Yu clenched his fists, and did not recover from his stunned for a long time.
Seeing this, Yan Qi and the old man exchanged a look with each other.
"The road to a higher place, there is no guide, you can only rely on yourself to understand!" Yan Qi's mind floated, stared at Xia Yu, and said secretly: "This elder's halberd work is an example lesson, have you harvested that seed?"
……
On the same ship, the rest room at the other end of the cabin.
The faint fragrance of the copper incense burner emanated.
Inside, the defeated Dragon Venerable, sitting cross-legged on a futon, stared firmly at the blood-colored basin on the table in front of him.
The so-called 'Ten Thousand Cranes Leaving the Nest' work did not move at all.
Huang He's face is sometimes blue, sometimes white.
"Defeated!"
After all, all the unwillingness turned into a sad sigh, "Completely defeated!"
In fact, even if the dragon head did not leave the table, when Xia Qing unveiled the bamboo cover and took the initiative to reveal his cooking works, the interesting food picture scroll was hidden in the taste, and slowly unfolded in his mind, Huang He knew that there was no suspense about his defeat.
"Why!"
A faint voice echoed.
This question is not to ask why he failed, but to ask why a new dragon chef who has made a breakthrough overseas can present such an interesting and colorful food picture.
A faint voice said on the side: "Your work, compared to Xia Qing's old guy's work, is too monotonous!"
The old man of the Wei clan stood in the tent with a calm face.
"One is to render the cranes, and the other is to spread out the bamboo forest map with a deep story. The old man of the Wei clan was expressionless, "Moreover, your immortal crane diagram seems to be strong, if the great river surging into the taster's mouth, but what else is the shining ingredient except the blood of the crane and the whole roasted crane?"
"Brother Huang, if this is what you pressed at the bottom of the box, I can only say that you are not unjustly defeated!"
Huang He turned his back to the curtain and lowered his head, "Yes......"
Ye Feizhou was also in the tent, standing a few steps behind the old man of the Wei family, listening to the two dragon venerables of the White Jade Tower, talking like a dumb riddle, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.
"Flying boat!"
Suddenly, the yellow crane with its head hanging turned its face.
"In!" Ye Feizhou stood up straight.
"I'm defeated......"
Huang He cast a look full of expectation at Ye Feizhou, and his gray face glowed, "However, you haven't been defeated yet!"
As a high-level member of Bai Yulou, he naturally knew that Ye Feizhou was in retreat and cultivating, researching Lin-level nirvana recipes, and preparing to step on Xia Yu to stabilize his young king's crown on this year's New Year's Day.
"I'm old, and if I lose, I will lose, but this tone, this face, you have to ...... for me, for your master, and for Bai Yulou."
"Take it back!"
Loud and sound.
