Although the freshness of puffer fish is a hard standard for this ingredient, it is ...... Xiao Song also reacted at this time, if you catch and eat it now, there is only a time difference of less than an hour of death, and it is impossible for Liu Pleiades to let it still be alive in his mouth, what difference can there be in terms of freshness?

"To some extent", "will be more expensive" is a big truth.

Guan Liyuan selected six of the most active golden puffer whales from more than 20 alive and put them in portable aquariums, ready to go out and sell them for (pian) money.

The other dozen or so, Liu Pleiades slaughtered and cooked them at the beginning, and every time after slaughtering and before further processing, he also put his palms together to "sacrifice......

Is it completely ineffective to catch and take the poison sac alive? No, "to some extent" refers to ordinary cooks, and for Liu Pleiades, "cutting and not eating" is not an empty word - only through the correct way to slaughter the ingredients, can better exert the will of the ingredients themselves through sacrifice, and form a pseudo-kitchen heart......

The heart of the cook, that is, the sublimation of the will of the cook, can bring a special artistic conception to the cuisine, in Liu Pleiades's hometown, only the chef who condenses the heart of the chef can be regarded as entering the house.

The so-called pseudo-kitchen heart refers to stimulating the will of the ingredients, and making the food form an artistic conception by coordinating the ingredients, resulting in an effect similar to the kitchen heart.

In the past, when Liu Pleiades was still a "budding newcomer", because his cooking heart had not yet been tempered to the fire, he had to face the "oppression" of a group of "old monsters", and even the curse threat of the ancient race...... So at that time, Liu Pleiades often used the means of stimulating the will of ingredients, and used "pseudo-kitchen heart" to compete with "kitchen heart".

Today, Liu Pleiades has already achieved a variety of cooking skills in his hometown, but ...... In the current food world, because of the different rules, Liu Pleias's cooking heart cannot be played!

Sublimating the will of ingredients through excess, which is Liu Pleiaus's strength, was sacrificed again at this time when his own cooking heart was suppressed......

Of course, the painless slaughtering method of Ah Lu and Coco is actually not a big problem, and whether it can stimulate the will of the ingredients depends on the level of the cook.

On the other hand, Coco is also teaching Komatsu to deal with puffer whales - Coco is still very tired in his arm muscles because he has fought fiercely before, and he can't accurately complete the handling of puffer whales.

Although Komatsu was nervous at first, with the encouragement of Coco and Ayu, he still picked up the kitchen knife and began to learn on the spot!

After all, the shelf life of puffer whales is very short, and there is no time to wait for cocoa to recover......

As for asking Liu Pleiades to handle it on his behalf?

Unless the mountains and rivers are exhausted, Ah Lu and Coco don't want to choose this way, on the one hand, because of the habit of food hunters, that is, they do not ask for help from other peers who are not on their team, and on the other hand, they ...... These two gay, gay guys are really uncomfortable!

The values of the human world are still very different from the companion concepts of the Hokage world and the pirate world.

Food hunters pay attention to protecting their cooking partners, and most importantly, only when they are ready to be hunted, they are qualified to hunt other creatures.

Not to mention a peer who meets by chance, even if it is a very good companion, when one party encounters danger, but the other party is not caught, the right choice is to believe in the other party, rather than putting yourself in danger. , taking the risk to rescue others, not only desecrates the consciousness of the other party, but also appears to be insufficient.

The only exception to this is the partner cook, and if you decide to bring the chef as a partner into the danger, then as a food hunter, you are obliged to bring the other person back.

However, Komatsu is not theoretically Ayu's partner, but hugs Ayu's thighs to observe the growth environment of the ingredients.

Now Ah Yu and the others are only running for nothing at most, and there is no danger to their lives, so it is naturally impossible to ask the other party for help!

But......

"It looks so fragrant over there...... Ah Yu looked at the fish steak that Liu Pleiades was frying with his saliva.

Invisibly, it put more pressure on Komatsu on the side - the twelfth puffer whale, and the handling failed!

"Ahh

Ah: "Hey, hey. (Strong man style (*╹▽╹*)) also knocked his head with his hand, and Guan Liyuan's eyes hurt when he looked at it from the side.

The second core value of food hunters - sharing food is a noble character, although they will not ask Liu Pleiades for help, but there is no pressure to rub rice for a while.

"Wait, the remaining two are gifts for Zongga, as I said before. Guan Liyuan stopped Liu Pleiades from cutting the last two puffer whales.

"Eh, I thought the gift was in those six...... "Liu said as he wanted to cut the other six alive.

"Wait, that's what you're trying to ...... Sell for money. Guan Liyuan said solemnly.

"Huh, there are no ingredients for sashimi!" Liu said dissatisfiedly.

The other dozen or so puffer whales have been fried, cooked, and made into various dishes, exuding bursts of tempting aromas, luring Ah Yu, and invisibly increasing the difficulty for Komatsu.

"Don't they still have it there? They will take out the sashimi and eat it together. Guan Liyuan said.

Liu Yuexing looked at Xiao Song, who was surprised, and nodded: "It's okay, my side will start eating in fifteen minutes!"

"Eh, wait, wait, in that case...... Xiao Song said and wanted to hand over the remaining few puffer whales to Liu Pleiades to deal with.

However, he was stopped by Ah Lu and said: "If we don't have any strength, we won't have the face to eat on the table!"

"No, you're definitely going to rub it up......" Keke complained silently on the side, but also said to Komatsu: "But Ah Yu is right, Komatsu, believe in yourself and exert your strength for this dinner!"

Liu Yuexing also understood Guan Liyuan's meaning at this time, and ...... As the deputy commander of Yuanyue, Liu Yuexing is also very comfortable with things like "promoting the backwards".

"I've got a hint for you...... Pay attention to 'listening' to the sound of the ingredients, you should have this potential. Liu Pleiades said.

"Listen...... The sound of ingredients. Komatsu looked solemnly at the puffer whale on the chopping board, but as soon as he began to slash, his expression relaxed.

In the end, under the guidance of Coco and the prompting of Liu Pleiades, Komatsu finally succeeded in dealing with the first puffer whale, and the fat on its body bloomed like a flower, revealing the poison sac inside......

Mr. Coco, Mr. Ayu, Mr. Liu...... I made it!"

"Well, if the remaining three are all successful, this time there will be no loss. Guan Liyuan interrupted his celebration.

Komatsu:......

However, it is obviously unrealistic to expect Komatsu to improve the success rate immediately, especially since he was extremely focused just now, and now he is a little tired, and the last three are two consecutive failures, but the last one, I don't know if it was luck, or Komatsu really mastered a certain feeling, and actually succeeded again.

"Ahh......h

"Well, this success rate is about the same as Coco's. Guan Liyuan interrupted again.

Cacao:......

"But Coco is just a food hunter, not a professional cook. Guan Liyuan added.

Komatsu:......

Although he was "stabbed twice", he finally came to the final harvest.

Komatsu cut the puffer fish that had taken out the poison sac into slices, and used some mushroom ingredients collected in the cave before to prepare a dipping sauce to add a dish to Liu Pleias's whole puffer fish whale feast.

On Liu Pleiaus's side, there are sunset (braised pufferfish), water (fresh juice) pufferfish, puffer fish seven-vegetarian soup, and golden bomb (fried pufferfish)...... Wait for the seven-course fugu dish!

"Thanks to all the ingredients in the world, I'm going!"

Everyone basically starts with Komatsu sashimi and tastes it one by one......

After actually tasting Liu Pleiades' puffer fish dishes, Komatsu really felt that "it will be more expensive...... Mostly joking!

For ordinary cooks, it is true that it is only "more expensive", and if you cook immediately, there is no difference between "not dead" and "just dead", but this is not the case for Liu Pleiades.

At the moment of the braised pufferfish, everyone saw the sunset on the sea in a trance, after the entrance of the golden bomb, as if feeling the volcanic eruption under the sea in the mouth, after the fresh juice puffer fish wrapped the tongue and fully stimulated the taste, the mood of playing in the water park involuntarily came to mind......

"Delicious, delicious, delicious......" Ah Yu, who is most likely to be infected, shed tears of excitement while chewing.

It even made him vaguely recall how he felt when he made an appointment for Granny Setsuno's meal last time!

These dishes have moved away from the mere taste and have the power to reach people's hearts......

Liu Pleiades also noticed at this time that Ah Yu was very good at cooking...... Seems more sensitive! This is also a manifestation of wild intuition?

Although Komatsu still can't understand how to make the ingredients make their own "sound", he can also see the effect of Liu Pleiades's method of taking poison sacs from various cooking methods......

According to the "flower-style dissection" pioneered by Setsuno, it is true that the basic process of extracting poison can be completed more easily, but in this way, the cooking method of puffer whales after taking the poison sac is greatly limited - it has been cut into "flowers"!

After Liu Pleiades took out the poison sac, because the puffer whale was still intact, he could freely choose the slaughtering and cutting method according to the cooking method......

Half an hour later, twenty puffer whales were swept away, and they ate a whole 100 million!

"It's ...... It's really fragrant...... Thank you for your hospitality! Since you've eaten at the same table, you'll be friends from now on!If you need help, just ask!"

Guan Liyuan didn't care, and he didn't feel that he needed Ah Yu's help, but Liu Yuxing said at this time: "If you need it...... One thing, are you a well-known food hunter? You should know a lot of great cooks, right?"

"Of course, by the way, Komatsu is actually very powerful! He is still the chef of a five-star hotel directly under IGO!"

"Mr. Ayu, in front of Mr. Liu, don't say that......" Komatsu himself was embarrassed first.

"Chef Komatsu's words do have a lot of room for growth, but I want to say ...... Do you know a chef who is already very strong, and if you can, can you help me initiate the 'Halberd'?" Liu said.

"What is it?" said Ayu, wondering...... There is no such thing in the human world.

Liu Pleiades explained the meaning of "food halberd" - simply put, after the theme is set, the duel is carried out with cuisine, and the odd judges make the decision of victory or defeat...... In addition, both sides need to bet some chips.

"Cooking duel? Sounds like a lot of fun! But ...... Ah Xing, if you want to make a name for yourself, ten months later, this year's food festival will begin. Ah Lu said.

"No, fame comes second, I have my own reasons. Liu Pleiades said.

"Okay, in that case, although I can't promise you anything for others, I'll try to find it for you!"

Guan Liyuan looked at Liu Pleiades and probably guessed the reason why he did this......

It's not because Liu Pleiades is "aggressive", but because Liu Pleiades has been trying to stimulate his cooking heart since he came to this world, but he has never succeeded.

If it is due to the rules of the universe, this world cannot play the effect of the kitchen heart, and Liu Pleiades has nothing to say, but now Liu Pleiades can feel that his kitchen heart is still there, but it is just "suffocated" and cannot play the effect!

And the will of the ingredients itself is similar to the heart of the kitchen, and it makes no sense that the former can be stimulated, but the latter cannot......

Therefore, Guan Liyuan speculated that it was probably because the level of rules in this world was too high, in comparison, Liu Pleiades's cooking heart was too weak, so he couldn't use it, and the ingredients in this world were also very strong-willed, so they could be stimulated normally.

Liu Pleiades also accepted this speculation and is now ...... I'm afraid I also want to use the process of "eating halberds" to add pressure to myself, in order to further sublimate the kitchen's heart.

And at this moment, Liu Pleiades and Guan Liyuan frowned at the same time, and looked at the waterhole, Ah Lu and Coco were about half a second late - in terms of reaction speed, this is already a big gap!

"The chef stepped back, something was approaching!" Guan Liyuan said, blocking Komatsu and Liu Yuexing behind.

"Like...... It's not a creature!, it's an ominous magnetic field......" Coco frowned.

Ah Yu's intuition also seemed to realize that what was coming was not simple, but he still walked to the front and said, "Since you have eaten other people's food, you have to exert your strength!"

Click, click, click......

With the sound of heavy footsteps, a humanoid "unknown creature" with black hair and a metallic head resembling a bird's beak came up from the pool, carrying a fishing net full of puffer whales.

However, Guan Liyuan and others have already seen that this guy ...... It's not a living thing!

Ah Lu, who bore the brunt of the attack, confronted the "stranger" in a solemn atmosphere, and at this moment, Guan Liyuan muttered in a low voice: "The puffer whale is dead, and the strength is like that." ”

Ayu: ......

Kook:???

The solemn atmosphere was completely destroyed......
