Seafood.

With such a categorical conclusion, not only him, but even the kitchen demons in the audience were stunned.

What the hell is it going to change from fried chicken to tempura all of a sudden? Even if it's fried food, you can't say such a bastard thing, right?

But when Jonny's smile stiffened slightly, everyone couldn't help but believe the three.

Is this really fucking tempura?

Indeed, if you look at it from this point of view...... All fried foods have extremely thin batters and are ......

When the viewers from the heights looked down at the box in Guo Shouque's hand, they found that there was no oil or water at the point of the white paper box!

And looking at the even heat, there is no doubt that all the ingredients have been fried in such a short period of time.

Just by looking at it, you can understand that the taste is excellent.

"I've never heard of tempura in industrial cooking, Mr. Koo Chi Kin. Guo Shouque looked at the chicken leg in his hand, smiled and raised his eyes: "Is this considered a rebellion against the master?"

"It's called pioneering and innovating. ”

Jonny held his head arrogantly: "As a disciple, if you can only stick to the old ways and walk forward on the teacher's path, it is not as useful as a fryer for two hundred dollars a piece, then what kind of kitchen demon is it!"

"I said the same thing as my students. ”

Guo Shouque raised his eyebrows, looked at the fried chicken tempura in his hand, and quickly, said: "If I am not mistaken, this should be a unique way of dealing with the Ryukyu region?"

Amazing fusion, Jonny Gu Zhijian, the future of industrial cuisine will be sunshine by you, and I can feel your master's relief.

To be able to blend two very different cuisines so perfectly is that it is American!"

Such admiration and appreciation, but it does not make people feel the slightest pleasure.

Being watched by those eyes, it's like you can't hide any secrets.

Even the source of the idea is clearly seen......

Jonny Gu Zhijian did not feel any fear or uneasiness, but became more and more excited.

Such an opponent has the fun of challenge!

"Is it seen through?"

Jonny bowed: "That's right, this new Exxon fried chicken set, although the production method uses the idea of industrial cuisine, but the production method is from my hometown.

Although there is no problem with calling it a fried chicken course, the name of the war is derived from the industrial cuisine of the Ryukyus. Oil tempura!"

"Please, old man. ”

He gestured: "Eat it while it's hot, you can live a long life if you eat it." ”

Guo Shouque looked at the contents of the cardboard box and couldn't help but shake his head: "No matter how delicious this kind of thing is, it can only be eaten for a long time, right?"

"Ha, in our Ryukyus, who didn't eat it when he was a child? This is the crystallization and delicacy of the age of hunger and thirst...... Life and death are such things, but it depends on the number of fate, and when you are alive, you have to eat happily!"

"So, the Ryukyuan people really don't know how to maintain their health......"

Guo Shouque shook his head and raised his hand:

"Well, let's have a taste. ”

As if swallowing an elixir, he opened his mouth and bit down on the fried chicken in his mouth with the gums that had few teeth left.

At that moment, the appetizing sound spread out and resounded in everyone's ears, making everyone swallow and foam.

The first thing I feel is the rich aroma of the meat, followed by the terrifying spicy and sweet and sour sauce,

When the tender chicken slid into my throat with the demonic smell of motor oil, I felt as if my mouth and nose were burning, enveloped in flames.

Immediately after that, the bomb of taste exploded!

In a physical sense, explode!

A low roar suddenly sounded from the rickety body, and the old body, with a terrifying burst of power, from the weak stomach - the moment it came into contact with the stomach acid, the spices evenly kneaded into the muscles triggered a delicate chemical reaction under the interference of essentia, and then in an instant, it exploded like explosives!

Pitch-black gunpowder smoke erupted from Guo Shouque's mouth and nose, so thick!

But then, there was a tearing sound...... Because Guo Shouque was expanding, the joints were rubbing, and the muscles were squirming, the rickety old man gradually straightened his waist, as if blowing up a balloon, and began to bulge.

A terrifying heat rose from beneath the rapidly taut skin.

It was the heat hidden in the muscles that was transforming, rapidly turning into vitality, forming a tidal wave, which was injected into this old body, regardless of whether he could bear it or not, and completely destroyed him from the inside out.

But he didn't break down.

Instead...... Transformed into a burly old man with knotted muscles and thick white hair like a lion.

The upper body is naked, and the solid muscles are covered with scars.

It is no longer old and decayed, but has become hideous and cold, violent and solemn.

So where is the rickety old man?

It is clearly a fierce giant ape from the mountains, between vertical and horizontal beasts!

And right in front of Jonny, the hideous old man opened his mouth, wantonly gluttonous, and simply devoured the oil tempura in his hand, sucking the oil stains off every finger.

No praise is spared.

"Oh, so much energy, this spicy impact, it's wonderful...... You can get me back to the state of 90 years old!" he exclaimed in amazement, "Jonny Gu Zhijian, you are amazing!"

The spicy tide of vitality did not burn him, but plunged him into excitement.

After three bites and two bites, I finished eating the chicken thighs in my hand.

Then, I grabbed the chicken wings.

Thrown into the mouth, I couldn't stop at all, and the wind swept away.

Carefully savoring the pungent fragrance that constantly erupted on the tip of the tongue, it was like swallowing a bomb alive, swallowing the essence of the calamity into his stomach in one gulp.

First hunger was felt, then pain, then despair.

And that lingering greed......

That's right, greed!

Greed is the essence of this dish!

At that moment, in front of Jonny Gu Zhijian, the old man's movements stiffened for a moment, his hideous face froze in place, and suddenly, a crack opened.

From it there was a steady stream of burning light, and thick black smoke.

Inside the empty shell, there were signs of the roaring operation of the workshop......

Just above that mutilated face, Guo Shouqi showed an approving smile.

"Jonny Gu Zhijian!"

"I have to admit that I underestimated you!"

He raised his head and praised without hesitation: "It's really terrible, I already have a deep understanding of your creation...... It seems to be born from industry, but in fact, this determination to devour even oil, the blood of the earth, in order to satisfy the stomach, is tantamount to sublimating people into incorruptible steel!

You must have brought out even more terrifying dishes, right?"

In this way, I swallowed the chicken set meal that was too large in my hand and swallowed it into my stomach one bite at a time. Let the cracks in your face spread, revealing the phantom of the city hidden in the haze and smoke.

In order to survive, he will not hesitate to destroy the world, and in order to continue to live, he will not hesitate to destroy himself.

Such a crazy determination and will makes people have to offer praise and applause!

"I can assert, Jonny. ”

He raised a finger and solemnly declared: "If it weren't for me, there would be no one else to choose the champion of this competition except you." ”

"It's just a pity - today, you met me. ”

In his mouth, the burger was completely swallowed with a blazing fire.

In one bite, the prototype of the calamity, which was fused with countless industrial wastes, was incorporated into his own body.

Immediately afterward, the smoke, flames, and huge industrial phantoms behind the cracks in the face completely disappeared without a trace.

In its place, there is nothingness.

In the empty shell under the flesh and blood, there is nothing, or rather, some strange light

It is as if there are earth, nature, mountains, and the outlines of all things, and there are dark stars running in the hideous sea...... But things can't be seen clearly, and they can only instinctively understand one thing.

Industrial cuisine, no, industry itself...... In front of him, devoured!

The crack shrank inch by inch, Guo Shouque grinned, and laughed tyrannically: "The heir of Yi Ya is a hoodoo thing that even his own children will eat for the sake of deliciousness."

- Just a little steel, no problem!"

Jonny is stubborn and stiff in place.

It's as if it's frozen.

It was difficult to hide the uneasiness in his heart, and at that moment, the hideous darkness that he glimpsed through the cracks...... The terrifying nature of this old thing in front of you.

And Guo Shouque was still smiling, looking around, "Next, it should be my turn, right?"

As he spoke, he looked down at the huge frying pan on the cooking table.

Ignoring the boiling oil temperature, he stretched out his finger, dipped it, sucked it in his mouth, and sighed with emotion: "Clear and sweet, it's really a pot of good oil...... Lend it to me, right?"

In the silence, Jonny's expression was gloomy and he slowly bowed his head.

He wanted to see what this old thing was going to do with his own oil pot.

And Guo Shouque's body gradually became rickety, recovering its former rickets and shriveled, his muscles and flesh were relaxed, and his appearance changed from fierce to ugly.

Abomination.

After turning around the oil pan a few times, he nodded thoughtfully.

"The opportunity is rare, then, right here, I will show you a famous dish of Dongxia - boiling water cabbage. ”

The whole arena was silent.

Boiling water cabbage.

Boiling water cabbage again?

Would you fucking do anything else?

This fucking oil pot, you make a fart boiling water cabbage! Just talking about boiling water cabbage, you cabbage! Do you forget to put it again!

Jonny couldn't bear the humiliation, and slammed his fist on the board, angrily scolding.

"Old thing, can't you just don't embarrass people with that outdated thing!"

Guo Shouque frowned and fell silent.

After a long time, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Outdated? That's too much. ”

He sighed, bent down, opened the toolbox he was carrying, took out the condiments in the same way, placed them on the table, and put them in a convenient place.

"Even if it's my grandfather, I'm still studying today!"

He raised his eyes and calmly told the young man in front of him:

"Reading books, reading newspapers, using the Internet, participating in competitions, being cheeky and blending in with the group, shamelessly praising young people, stealing from school, and blackmailing ...... I'm willing to do anything for the sake of victory. ”

"For the limit of this appetite, even if you will go to hell, you are welcome!"

From the age of three when he walked into the kitchen.

At the age of twelve, he became a kitchen demon, at the age of sixteen, he became a teacher, and at the age of twenty, he was above the master. At the age of twenty-five, he began to travel around the world.

At the age of forty-one, he turned his attention to the border.

At the age of sixty-two, he chose to go to hell

In order to pursue the ultimate appetite, he did not hesitate to set foot on the land of bliss, and even completed the great deed of meeting the rancher and returning again.

Dongxia cuisine, Roman cuisine, Yingzhou cuisine, American cuisine, Russian cuisine, from snacks to dinners, from desserts to wine and food...... Guo Shouque is constantly devouring everything, constantly pursuing deeper limits.

Until today, I have not given up in the slightest.

Nowadays, it is called an outdated old thing?

Excessive, right?

Isn't this too much to underestimate cooking?

- Inevitably, it's too much to take all the kitchen demons who are eaten by yourself in your eyes!

"Look, Mr. Gu Zhijian, this is an outdated dish that you don't put in your eyes. But even if it is an outdated dish, there will be a day when it will shine again. ”

He raised his hand, picked up the spoon beside him, and stirred the boiling oil in the pot, "As long as the kitchen demon still exists, as long as the desire is not broken, this precious meaning will always exist."

What you have lost to is not me, but this one that has accumulated for thousands of years. ”

Jonny clasped his hands in his arms and was about to sneer at him, but his eyes were drawn to the blurry image in the oil pan.

Under the stirring of the soup spoon, the boiling oil pot calmed down incredibly, reflecting something unbelievable, but then, the mirror image was broken again.

Because the clear grease is swirling, forming a small whirlpool, rippling in this oil pot.

With the spread of various seasonings, it seems to form a clear broth. He took the leftover chicken and bones from Johnny and threw them into the pan, and a fiery aroma rose.

Unlike just now, even the terrifying aggressiveness of the oil is gone, replaced by a gentle sweetness.

Like the ephemeral kingdom of heaven, it glows with a misty light, pure and sacred.

In the deep light, something seemed to be rapidly sprouting and brewing, so that he couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the warm and thick aroma of the chicken simmered in the oil. Can't help it, salivating.

Under Jonny's gaze, the whirlpool of oil and water gradually calmed down, and the scene that had been glimpsed finally resurfaced, becoming clearer and clearer.

Finally, in the reflection of the grease, he glimpsed the silhouette hidden in the light.

That blurry reflection.

Is that...... Himself?

In the audience, Huai Shi had already taken the lead in reflecting, raising her hand and covering Maki's eyes.

This is no longer the domain that can be described by pure boiling water cabbage...... And the next scene is not a scene that Maki can accept.

"Please take a look, a new subspecies of Fusion Hell Cuisine and Boiling Water Cabbage that combines the calamity essence of Eastern Xia and Rome!"

In the crisp sound of the spoon tapping on the edge of the pot, Guo Shouque announced his work in fluent Latin:

"—Caldaria, the god of boiling water!"

It was at that moment that the pure and unsullied light rose from the oil pot as if from heaven, transcending original sin and punishment, bringing the light of mercy and liberation.

There are hymns of generosity sounding out of the hallucination, as if by which all sinners can be redeemed.

At this moment, Jonny Gu Zhijian finally walked into this paradise!

Seduced by the illusion of hell, the man threw himself into the boiling oil pot without any struggle.

Long before that, his soul had been captured by the cauldron of the abyss.

This is the last 'cabbage' that is missing in the refreshing broth.

Using the opponent as the material, Yiya Kitchen Devil's specialty!

At that moment, the intoxicating aroma finally erupted from it, with a mellow scent, enveloping the tip of everyone's nose, intertwining the illusion of heaven in front of their eyes!

Sweet and sinful, it haunts the darkest places of every soul, whispering blasphemous or sacred words in their ears.

That's certainly the fusion cuisine that Guo Shouque said.

Boiling water cabbage is a form of cooking that combines the elements of water and fire to form the most primitive heretical inquisition and purify everything in boiling water.

Eventually, it will be clean.

The essence of the 5,000-year-old cuisine of Eastern Xia was fused with the calamities of the Roman witch trials in the Middle Ages to create a dish-like cuisine.

The life that was lived by this pot will also perish because of this pot.

This is the true meaning of Paradise Lost.

"So, young man, how does this dish taste?"

Guo Shouque lowered his head, overlooked the oil pot in front of him, and asked playfully.

"Wonderful!"

There was a dull and admiring exclamation from the oil pan.

In the midst of the boiling grease, a thumbs slowly rose.

The body felt a steady stream of pain and suffering, but the soul was quiet and serene, as if it were about to sleep in this wonderful kingdom of heaven.

Even if it is regarded as a part of the cuisine, Gu Zhijian cannot deny the essence of the abyss that he can never reach in this calamity.

There is also a huge gap between each other......

Even though he still had the strength to struggle twice, he no longer had any fighting will, and when the old man stood in front of the oil pot, he was already doomed to defeat!

"Learn to respect history, Mr. Gu Zhijian, even if it is an old ghost like me, he will keep pace with the times......"

Guo Shouque raised his hand, scooped out a spoonful of boiling fat from the pot with a spoon, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, swallowed the temperature enough to burn his throat into his stomach, and savored every change in taste.

In the end, I couldn't help but shake my head regretfully.

"It's a pity, it's still ...... after all It's a little tender. ”

Shaking his head so regretfully, the old man casually threw down the spoon and turned to leave.

The rickety figure disappeared into the darkness little by little.

There was a dead silence in the arena.

Except for Gu Zhijian, who blew bubbles in the oil pot, no one made a sound.

The Imperial Kitchen Demon Trial, Scene 2.

- Dongxia Kitchen Demon, Guo Shouque, win!

Today's boring trivia:

As we all know, fried foods are very oil-intensive, especially tempura.

After the end of World War II, the poor people of Okinawa went crazy with hunger, and it was naturally impossible to eat tempura, where is there so much cooking oil.

So, someone patted his little head and came up with a solution: let's just fry it in engine oil......

Of course, the fried oil will not be delicious, and because there are many harmful substances in the oil, it will even be life-threatening. But everyone is having fun in the midst of suffering, and they still have to eat.

Besides, they are starving to death, so what does it matter.

Moreover, it is said that the taste of all kinds of engine oil is different, and the best brand of engine oil is recognized as the prototype of Exxon Energy Group in the article - Mobil.

Therefore, the official name of this thing is called Mobil Tempura (モービル天ぷら).

At that time, everyone ate happily at various festivals, well, in every sense......

And once this thing starts to explode, black smoke bills out, and the people in the neighborhood look up and see, "Oh, it's a lot of smoke, it must be the Erzhuzi family that is blowing up tempura...... It's hard to imagine that.

ACCORDING TO MANY JAPANESE BLOGS: THIS THING IS REALLY EDIBLE, AND THE EVIDENCE IS THAT ALL THE ELDERLY IN OKINAWAN HAVE EATEN IT (I THOUGHT, PEOPLE WHO EAT DEATH MAY NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO BECOME OLD PEOPLE, RIGHT?).

What's even more grassy is that after eating, because the oil cannot be digested by the human body, it will seep out through the skin in addition to the usual grain cycle. It is said that there are two large oily seals on the stone where the person who has eaten it sits down to rest.

It's a dark dish like a butt copier......

During the years of suffering, it is not easy to survive, either starve to death or eat things that will kill you. Everyone should cherish the hard-won good life now.
