The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 137: Inhuman Realm (Two Chapters in One)

In the carriage, Liu Shimeng and four others felt the overwhelming enthusiasm of the diners and looked at each other with emotion.

It seems that in today’s modern food world, this is what can be called the appeal of a celebrity chef.

Some people take the upper route.

When it comes to the down-to-earth approach, Boss Xia is undoubtedly a leader and role model.

When the group got off the bus dining car, the crowd burst into even louder cheers.

"Boss Xia, we just played rock-paper-scissors."

Liu Shimeng was eager to try:
"I won."

"I choose to be your sauce-splashing cook."

Wen Chaoqing coughed and said, "I am at least a special grade, so I can be your assistant chef, Boss Xia, right? I can just kill the fish!"

Lu Zuguang: "I can plan the fire scene, that is, let the firewood and charcoal maintain the intensity of the 'Tianxiong Explosive Fire River'..."

Tang Jinghan looked confused and opened his mouth:
"Then what can I do?"

Liu Shimeng, Wen Chaoqing and Lu Zuguang said in unison:
"You just work as a cashier or waiter!"

Tang Jinghan:? ?
Forget it.

Every famous chef is actually a waiter, but in the past, Tang Jinghan served the dignitaries and celebrities who came to the Dragon Town Restaurant in Shanghai to enjoy the delicious food.

This is Tang Jinghan's first time to come to such a down-to-earth night market, and also his first time to face such an exaggerated number of people and diners.

He felt a sense of novelty, excitement and challenge that was different from serving the powerful.

Assign work well.

The first fresh "Nut Swordfish" was delivered by the team members in a water tank truck.

"I'll kill this one first, and you can kill the rest."

Xia An said to Wen Chaoqing, and calmly pulled out the long and narrow broken military knife slowly.

Whizzing.

The people outside the isolation line didn't even see what was happening.

This 200-pound fantasy fish was gutted, and Xia An casually swept its internal organs, gills, and other contents into the trash can next to the open-air processing table.

Then, Xia An tied the fish's tail tightly with layers of chains, and used the chain to lift the big fish, whose scales had not been removed, and strode to the fire scene where, under the command and coordination of Lu Zuguang, the solid alcohol had been quickly ignited and there was a "flaming river" atmosphere.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau has made sufficient preparations for this Zhuhai Station.

They actually invited a local nine-star chef.

Serve as the on-site host and explainer for night market stall activities.

Witness Xia An walking into the sea of ​​fire.

The voice of the nine-star chef was filled with uncontrollable excitement:
"Boss Xia is about to start performing 'Tianxiong Roasted Green Fish'—"

His voice, through the speakers placed around the square, echoed clearly into the ears of every diner in the crowd.

“Do you know the story behind this ancient recipe and this ancient dish?”

The words have not yet fallen.

The sea of ​​people is as noisy as the tide:

"nonsense!"

"Of course you know..."

“The Explosive Chef Asian Edition is a classic that will be remembered for all eternity!”

Infected by the enthusiastic emotions of the diners, the nine-star chef blushed and shouted:
"Then everyone must know that if you want to reproduce this ancient recipe, you need to master some ancient skills!"

The crowd said in unison.

He shouted out the words "Explosion" and "Tianxiong Flame Wheel" one after another.

When people mention these two skills, their tone is fanatical and reverent.

"Tianxiong grilled herring is a dish from a legend."

"Aren't the Explosive Flame and Tianxiong Flame Wheel stunts also legendary stories?"

A female reporter was watching the scene and spoke emotionally in a high-pitched voice.

Reporters from local TV stations in Guangdong Province and several food channels recorded the bustling scene of Xia An setting up a stall at Zhuhai Station Night Market.

……

And at the same time.

At the Nakiri residence, Alice heard about Xia An's performance at Zhuhai Station and quickly spread the news throughout the house.

So, following the Shenzhou time, the whole family was sitting at the dinner table, staring at the oversized TV, watching the Douyin live broadcast of Xia An's official account.

The noisy and harsh sounds echoed in the family restaurant, which usually had a quiet atmosphere.

But the Nakiri family showed no intention of lowering the volume.

It seems that only by listening to the noise can one better integrate into the night market scene.

Listening to the host of the Nine-Star Chef saying that the sea of ​​fire on the scene was the "Exploding Fire River", Nakiri Senzaemon, who understood Chinese, immediately said thoughtfully:

"It seems that I am overthinking it?"

Hear the words.

Alice, Erina, Nakiri Souei and Leonora, who were sitting at the dining table, all glanced in surprise at the old man who suddenly spoke.

"What's complicated, Grandpa?" Alice asked.

"I mean, the flames and fire scene in front of us are called the 'Tianxiong Exploding Flame River'. According to the stories passed down by word of mouth in Shenzhou, I think it is a heat flow that is difficult for humans to create."

Alice was stunned: "So Grandpa, you thought it was a special skill field before?"

Old man Senzaemon nodded.

Clang!
At this time.

The sound of chains came from the live broadcast on the smart TV.

The whole family immediately looked on.

However, one could only see through the camera the ultra-high-speed rotating chains cutting through the sea of ​​fire at the Xiawan Road Night Market.

The originally noisy night market scene was suddenly reduced to an indescribable silence.

In the camera, the sea of ​​people seemed to be clones copied from the same mold. Everyone's expression was the same and full of shock.

Then gradually climbed up to piety.

"This is the Tianxiong Flame Wheel!"

After watching for a full ten minutes, someone in the dining room of the Nakiri residence finally spoke.

Nakiri Munee felt incredible:

"You know, the chain is holding two hundred kilograms of fantasy fish."

"But he can spin and dance so easily, which can only be done in the realm of special skills!"

In the Nakiri family residence.

No one questioned this statement.

It is easy for a strong man to lift a 200-jin weight, but it is more than just a simple show of strength to cook it over a long and delicate fire.

Therefore, cooking delicious food with 200 kilograms of ingredients is no longer within the realm of human beings.

Extraordinary!

The wife Leonora exclaimed, her beautiful eyes sparkling:

“It is said that those who possess extreme abilities have begun to transcend the mortal body.”

"Could it be that Boss Xia also possesses some kind of extreme ability?"

Erina Nakiri just shook her head:

"Not really."

"Master... doesn't have any extreme abilities."

Pause.

Erina took a deep breath:

"Master told us that this is an ability and physique that comes naturally from practicing unique skills."

Leonora said with interest:
"It's more like practicing 'food skills' while practicing the power of gourmet cells at the same time."

Nakiri Munee exclaimed:
"The ancient skills of Shenzhou are actually equivalent to the "food skills" in the food world? Both can lead to the extraordinary realm?"

……

Pole Star Dormitory!
Saiba Joichiro did not leave the Polar Star Dormitory.

At this moment, the friends from Polar Star Dormitory were gathered in Marui Zenji's room for a tea party to watch the live broadcast.

The smart TV in Zenji Marui's room was watching Shenzhou's live broadcast.

Witnessing the performance of chefs on the Xiawan Road Night Market, they are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"The King of Medicine" Soma Yukihira and his friends were stunned. Even Isshiki Hui, a sophomore and one of the top ten, was shocked and said:
"A 200-pound fantasy fish that can be swung and danced at will?"

Yoshino Yuuki, the girl with a bun, said stupidly:

"Uh... that's two hundred kilograms!"

As chefs, they are very sensitive to the weight of the ingredients. They are not ordinary high school students who have no concept of weight.

"Don't even mention 200 kilograms."

A lot of cold sweat dripped down Tansho Kei's forehead:
"Even if I weigh thirty or forty kilograms, it's hard for me to dance like this and grill!"

As he spoke, many students in Polaris Dormitory simultaneously turned their eyes to the "Shura" Saibajo Ichiro, who had a gloomy look on his face.

"Saiba-senpai, are you okay?"

Tadokoro Megumi asked softly, her big eyes filled with pure curiosity:
"You are the internationally renowned 'Shura'..."

"That's right!" Yukihira Soma slammed his hands and looked at his father excitedly, "You are a senior top-class chef..."

Hear the words.

The corners of Saibajoichiro's mouth twitched, and his face twitched as well.

"Stinky boy!"

He was not polite and directly hit his son on the forehead with a slap:

"Don't think your father is a god like Boss Xia!"

“There’s no comparison!”

"It's easy to lift a 200-pound object, and it's also OK to swing it for a minute or two, but it's hard to cook continuously without a break until the dish is ready..."

After a pause, Caiba Chengichiro spoke in a gloomy tone.

"Perhaps only those who practice "food skills" can awaken that kind of power within their bodies..."

Suddenly, Saibajo Ichiro realized that he shouldn't reveal the news about the food world to these Totsuki students so early, so he shut up in time.

"What is "food skills"? "

"What kind of power has awakened in your body?"

Soma Yukihira didn't even bother to rub his head which was hurt by his father's hit, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Other people in Polaris Dormitory.

For example, Megumi Tadokoro, Yuki Yoshino and Zenji Marui.

They all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Among the students, only Isshiki Hui, who had an extraordinary background, looked thoughtful and nodded his chin slightly.

"Isshiki-senpai, do you know?"

Everyone looked at Isise Hui.

Unexpectedly, this handsome blond senior in a nude apron raised his hand and pointed at the smart TV with a smile, and changed the topic very appropriately:
"Everyone, look! Boss Xia's ancient dishes seem to be freshly prepared—"

Suddenly, everyone stopped hesitating and looked up in unison.

In fact, about twenty minutes, almost half an hour, had passed since Xia An went into the fire to roast the first fish for the stall.

But the fire in the night market street showed no sign of being extinguished.

Under Lu Zuguang's command and coordination, staff members continued to add firewood and charcoal and control the switch of the lithium-ion blower.

suddenly!

As the chain stopped spinning, a 200-pound fantasy fish, which was emitting amazing heat, was thrown and swung by the long chain in an elegant and precise parabola, and landed directly on a dining table that had been prepared long ago, making a heart-shaking "bang" sound.

The Xia'an people had not yet left the sea of ​​fire, but the grilled dishes were already displayed to everyone.

"Whoo, whoo, whoo..."

At this moment, it is unknown who is controlling the camera in the official Douyin live broadcast room.

Anyway, this person must be a team member, and his position is very particular. When Xia An threw the grilled fish onto the large dining table from a distance.

The camera in the live broadcast room took a close-up shot of the grilled fish that had just landed on the ground.

then.

The sizzling sound of grease rang clearly in the ears of countless viewers in the live broadcast room.

Xia An did not keep the diners and the audience in the live broadcast room waiting.

Quickly get out of the sea of ​​fire.

Pick up a small gavel on the table.

For the pitch-black grilled fish, tap lightly on its body.

"Click——"

The grilled fish suddenly underwent a dramatic transformation of shedding its black shell in the spotlight of the crowd.

The surface shell that was pitch black as if it was burnt a moment ago now shattered into pieces. Amidst the rich nutty aroma of a volcanic eruption, the real grilled fish revealed an amazing golden color.

This scene was like an incredible delicacy being born from the body of the dark fish.

Full of absurdity and bizarreness.

Xia An looked up and asked Lu Jiaxin:

"Have the first batch of lucky diners drawn their numbers?"

"The numbers have been taken, and everyone is waiting." Lu Jiaxin pointed to the diners queuing in a dining aisle.

Because the grilled fish weighs nearly 200 kilograms, each person can have half a bowl, so one grilled fish is enough to entertain a large number of diners at one time.

"Then I will serve the first batch of diners. It will be your turn later, Tang Jinghan."

Xia An walked towards the dining car in the dining aisle and said to Tang Jinghan who was in charge of serving the diners.

"Please."

Tang Jinghan quickly stepped back, and at the same time, he cast a greedy look at the grilled fish on the table, his throat rolling uncontrollably.

Although I stayed in a small courtyard in the Yangquan Restaurant Park for the past two days, I managed to get a few meals of the fantasy version of Tianxiong grilled bluefish.

But who would get tired of eating such delicious food?

Anyway, Tang Jinghan felt that he could survive by relying on this grilled fish.

"Wuhu, Boss Xia will personally welcome us too!"

"Boss Xia, can we take a photo together?"

"Today is so happy. It is the happiest moment of my life. Not only did I draw the lucky meal number, but I am also the first batch of the luckiest diners to be treated by Boss Xia!"

In the aisle, diners waiting in line cheered.

The people around could only look at these lucky hanged men with jealousy.

Well, why aren’t they the luckiest and happiest people tonight?

Xia An was slightly stunned when he found that the first diner waiting for dinner was a beautiful foreign woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Unexpectedly, this beautiful foreign lady said in very fluent and fluent Chinese:
"Boss Xia, our whole family are your loyal fans!"

Xia An: ? ?

"Are you tourists?"

"No, I have been studying and living in China for many years, but recently because of the visa-free policy, I plan to take my family to visit the bustling night markets in various cities in China."

Xia An didn't expect that he would gradually become famous among foreigners.

"Boss Xia, can I take a photo?" The foreign lady who claimed to be Samira held up the gimbal and pole in her hands, indicating to Xia An that she was filming and recording. "Actually, I'm a YouTuber, and I post videos about my life and travels on the Internet."

"You take the photo."

Xia An nodded: "Wait a moment, I'll get you the food."

Done.

Xia An turned around and lightly shook the spatula on the fragrant grilled fish.

"Whoosh-"

The delicate and fragrant flowers of fish meat immediately bloomed all over the body of this big fish.

Moreover, the petals bloomed all the way to the deepest part, exposing the white fish skeleton so suddenly to the air.

at the same time.

It represents a kind of harmonious and perfect culinary light.

The night market on Xiawan Road surged towards the sky.

At this moment, I don’t know how many recorded or filmed shots have fallen into the high exposure effect.

Fortunately, this light only lasted for a few seconds.

fleeting.

But it is enough to leave a deep memory that will be remembered for a lifetime in the hearts of diners at Zhuhai Station Night Market.

"Glowing?" Xia An was quite calm. He glanced at the glowing talent on the panel which had turned into a purple frame, and secretly sighed in his heart, "This is the effect of krypton gold points!"
