Dragon Clan: Little Dragon Man Changes Job to Food Hunter

Chapter 47 Listening to the Sound of Ingredients

Caesar sat on the ground, holding a piece of grilled shark meat as big as a suitcase on his lap and began to eat it frantically. The scales at the corners of his eyes gradually disappeared.

"I'm beginning to believe that the academy's bloodline rating has some truth to it. How come Lu Mingfei is just like nothing happened?"

"Bloodline rating is not just about dragon blood concentration, but also has something to do with stability. At least Chu Zihang and I's bloodlines are not that stable."

Chu Zihang scraped the corner of his eye with his index finger and frowned.

"It disappeared rather than fell off. I think it can be preserved and used for some identification experiments."

"No need to talk about those boring things now."

Caesar held up the shark meat in his hand and said, "The shark meat in this world is not sour at all. It tastes more like beef. Or is this really a shark?"

Chu Zihang took a bite of the shark leg and frowned.

"Lu Mingfei, did you handle the shark leg in my hand?"

Lu Mingfei was confused: "That should be it, can you tell by eating it?"

Chu Zihang took another bite and said, "It has a chewy texture and is rich in layers."

Caesar laughed out loud: "Chewy means hard to chew, and layered means the meat is not cut well with the knife, so it doesn't taste smooth when eaten."

"Someone always told me that you Orientals tend to be more reserved and not direct in your speech. It seems that the guy who told me this was right."

So reserved, too reserved, his emotional intelligence is so high!

Chu Zihang nodded and admitted: "The taste is like chewing a piece of cloth tied into a knot, and there are some hard and dry balls of hair on it, or unwashed kitchen waste."

Lu Mingfei:
I felt like my heart was pierced through by my senior brother's sharp knife burning with Jun Yan, and it was a continuous in and out attack.

It seems that I really need to work hard on this aspect in the future.

Senior brother’s description is too abstract!

Caesar was very happy: "So this leg of mine was cooked by Lao Lu, no wonder it tastes so good."

Chu Zihang began his great task of "chewing the rag" and after taking a bite, he tried hard to move his cheeks.

“Not only the taste and flavor, but the effect is also very good.”

"Caesar, you're the fastest eater among us, didn't you notice?"

Caesar was stunned: "It's indeed fun to have a dinner after a great victory, but should I pay attention to something? Is it better to handle the shark leg in my hand?"

Chu Zihang shook his head: "Your body."

Caesar looked down: "What's wrong with my perfect body?!"

There was not a single wound on his sturdy upper body, and except for his still dirty long hair, Caesar didn't even need to apply oil to participate in a bodybuilding competition.

As long as the light shines on it, the lines and inherent gloss seem to interpret the healthy beauty of muscles and the human body, just like in a textbook.

"Wonderful! The effect is so quick!"

Caesar was delighted: "I was wondering why you brought so many more supplies than the standard amount. It seems to be really useful!"

Chu Zihang nodded: "This is what I'm going to say next."

Caesar and Lu Mingfei adjusted their sitting positions and prepared to listen to teacher Chu Zihang's instructions while talking.

"The recovery ability of ingredients is actually related to cooking skills." Chu Zihang showed the scars on his arms and body.

"If the ingredients processed by Lao Lu are considered excellent, then the ingredients processed by Lu Mingfei are just average. In other words, they are edible and can replenish energy, but they are not guaranteed to taste good."

The road god who was continuously stabbed and whipped had no expression on his face.

Stop scolding me, brother. I will start practicing my cooking skills right away!
Caesar thought thoughtfully: "This is the world of gourmet food, so even the processing of ingredients has a very important weight ratio, just like the test scores of different subjects?"

Chu Zihang continued to nod, then silently activated his qi and blood and bit off a large piece of meat.

If you don't increase your qi and blood to strengthen your physique, this meat will be really hard to chew.

"This is probably why hunter teams are basically made up of a standard combination of chefs and hunters. Although I heard from Lao Lu that some chefs are good fighters, the reverse is also true."

"Using the exam example you mentioned, Caesar, the hunter's job is to find the questions on the exam paper, and writing down the answers is like successfully catching food."

"What the chef has to do is to write down the calculation process or the argument before getting the answer, making sure that the logic is clear and there is nothing missing."

Chu Zihang said: "With their joint efforts, the ingredients can become truly delicious, and both making money and improving oneself will reach a theoretical maximum."

Lu Zao applauded: "Old Chu is indeed a good student. The essential logic is actually similar."

"As for the processing of ingredients, there is actually an ultimate form that is more like cheating."

"That ability is called listening to the sounds of ingredients. You can also roughly understand it as the 'unity of nature and man' in the profession of chef in the world of gourmet food."

Lu Zao smiled and said, "The quality of the ingredients will be slightly different, and you will always encounter some ingredients in this world that are not in the encyclopedia."

“The ability to listen to the sounds of ingredients is like the ingredients telling you how to best prepare and cook them.”

“Just like a good horse meets a brave general and a wise counselor meets a wise master, ingredients will favor those chefs who can accept and perfectly utilize their value.”

Lu Mingfei raised his hand: "Brother Zao, isn't this similar to the cheat codes in the game?"

Lu Zao shook his head. "It's different. The learning cost of cheat codes is too low. You can get a full set of cheat codes by saying a few nice words or buying someone a bottle of drink."

“Listening to the sounds of ingredients is not only an innate talent, but it can also be acquired through practice. This requires a lot of cooking experience and facing a variety of ingredients.”

Caesar stroked his chin and said, "Hearing this, I feel like cooking as a secondary profession is suitable for me."

Lu Mingfei was stunned: "Why do you say that, Boss?"

He always felt that according to the boss's spiritual power and physique, he should develop in the direction of Zebra, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet, after all, his skills were all related to sound.

What about the chef? It’s impossible that the boss thinks that the kamaweed can hear the sounds of the ingredients?

"We have now left the Boom Boulevard area, so it should be okay to show it off."

Caesar shrugged: "A fierce battle is also an improvement. My Word Spirit seems to have entered the second stage, which means it can be transformed into a 'blood-sucking sickle' with killing power."

"But compared to the killing power of the Word Spirit that I once hoped and pursued, I found that Kamaitachi's ability is better."

"Chu Zihang, take a knife now and deal with your shark legs as I told you to do."

Chu Zihang pulled out Murasame, cut a few cuts on the shark's leg according to Caesar's instructions, and then bit off another piece of barbecue.

Chu Zihang said in surprise: "The knot seems to have loosened a bit, at least it's much easier to enter."
