The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

The last time they actually ate it, Christen didn't have enough money to spend a month's living expenses on a dish of vegetables.

Seeing Christen's evaluation of the dish, others also stretched out their chopsticks, and those who couldn't use chopsticks also picked up a piece with a fork.

Soon, the vegetable heart, which was originally not much, was eaten up.

Although I didn't get much, the rich and fragrant taste that filled the mouth received unanimous praise.

The shopkeeper, who had been waiting on the side, immediately asked the kitchen to prepare more boiled cabbage.

As the times progress, this dish has become more and more popular in Yan country.

Among the "big dishes", it can be said to be the simplest and quickest.

"Are there any other delicious dishes?" Compared to when others were waiting for the new cabbage, Christen hoped to get more information from Miku about what other delicious dishes were on the table.

"They're all delicious actually," Miku said to Kristen.

Besides, whether it tastes good or not, just try it yourself.

As Miku was thinking this, he saw Saria pick up a piece of ordinary-looking meat and put it into her mouth. The Earth Dragon King immediately looked as if he was hurt by the spiciness.

Well... making dishes look light but actually spicy is also a way for the chef to show off his skills.

In order to prevent Christen from sticking out her tongue due to the spiciness, Miku pointed to a bowl of ordinary-looking tofu soup on the table and said:

“This dish is also good.”

"What is this?" Kristen asked as she picked up a spoon and scooped a small spoonful from the bowl.

"Chicken tofu pudding, um, it should be called chicken tofu pudding here, right?" Miku is still not sure how the Terra people name the dish.

Chickens, ducks and geese are called feathered animals, cows and horses are called beasts of burden, and the strangest thing is that fish are called scaled animals.

Although he had been waiting at these tables, the shopkeeper, who had been paying most of his attention to Miku's table, immediately came over and said:

"You are right, my dear guest. The common name of this dish is chicken tofu pudding."

In other words, the official name is not this anymore. Miku smiled at the shopkeeper who had a high emotional intelligence, and then said to Christen:

“This dish requires a lot of skill.”

"Tofu pudding made from feathered beast meat?" Christen, who seemed to understand a little bit, put the chicken tofu pudding in the spoon, which looked like tofu no matter how she looked at it, and the worst quality tofu, into her mouth.

"... Really good." Christen exclaimed after tasting the extremely fresh feather beast meat.

"Well, it seems that this dish has some goose...feather liver paste added to make it more shapely. The chef here is quite creative."

Miku praised the restaurant's chef's creativity, but did not comment on whether this creativity led to an improvement in taste.

Kristen, who understood what Miku meant, did not give a high evaluation like she did when she was eating cabbage just now.

Christen's reaction also made the shopkeeper beside her feel a little relieved.

This dish is different from the cabbage just now. It requires a lot of energy from the chef.

Otherwise there wouldn’t be just one bowl on the table.

After tasting a few dishes again according to Miku's introduction, Christen found that although these non-spicy dishes were very delicious, they always felt a little lacking.

But Kristen couldn't tell what the difference was. After all, she was a physicist, not a food critic at a tire factory.

"In fact, the quality of the dishes is quite good. Several chefs in this restaurant can pass the master chef exam."

Miku first praised the chef of this "hot pot restaurant" and then explained why Kristen felt that it was not good enough:

"Because you are Colombian, it is normal to think that this kind of Yankee food is a little bit inferior. This is mainly a cultural difference."

"Cultural differences? Yeah, I understand." Kristen nodded.

"I can cook you some Yan country dishes that suit Colombian tastes. Please wait." Miku stood up and asked the shopkeeper next to him about the location of the kitchen.

He said he was asking about the location of the kitchen, but in fact he was telling the shopkeeper that he wanted to borrow the kitchen.

The shopkeeper immediately realized what Miku meant and led Miku to the kitchen.

He also specifically instructed the kitchen to treat the guests well.

What he meant was that no matter how the guest Miku messed with the kitchen, even if he turned it into a chemical test bench, he had to let him do what he wanted.

Then, amidst the mixed reactions of the chefs, Miku leisurely took out a set of chef uniform from his travel bag, put on a chef hat, and took a piece of red cloth to cover the armband of the chef uniform.

It's a pity because of the sequence of actions and the excellent eyesight of these Terra chefs.

Everyone saw that the armband covered by Miku's red cloth was the emblem of Yan Country's top chef.

There are some differences in details, but it is definitely correct because several chefs in this kitchen have such armbands.

Not knowing whether Miku was one of the chefs who came to cause trouble, he also took out his own equipment from the dressing room and put it on.

The other chefs who were in charge of cutting the food and cooking in the stove also stood behind their respective head chefs after noticing the change in atmosphere.

All of a sudden, several groups of people lined up in the kitchen, ready for a cooking competition.

Miku, who didn't care about the weird atmosphere, didn't ask anyone to help in the kitchen. He just occupied the best seat in the kitchen and started cooking.

While Miku was dressed as a top chef and concentrating on cooking, everyone at the table also focused their attention on the kitchen.

Except for Nian, everyone else was looking forward to what Miku would do.

As for why Nian doesn't care, it's because she knows Miku's style very well... It's always "the most suitable" and at the same time not so "in line with people's expectations"

Kristen originally planned to follow in to see what Miku was trying to do.

But seeing Miku's mysterious look, he even said in the private chat channel, "Just wait."

Kristen finally decided to wait at the table until Miku was ready.

However, after waiting for a while, Kristen did not see Miku come out with the dishes.

Instead, he saw a chef from the Carters tribe jumping out in a terrified manner, and jumped all the way to the shopkeeper and whispered a few words in his ear.

The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly when he heard the chef's report, but he did not lose his composure. He just bowed to the table that was still waiting for Miku to serve their food, then left and went to the kitchen.

Christen, whose curiosity was aroused, immediately followed, and Saria and Arturo also stood up and followed.

Seeing their boss following, the props group engineers who were dragged along by Nian also stood up and followed.

Only Nian looked calm and composed. She picked up a piece of scaly beast meat with chopsticks and put it into the super spicy hot pot specially prepared for her.

Christen came to the kitchen with a large group of people. At first glance, she saw the chefs in the kitchen who were in a daze and looked as if their world views had been reshaped.

There was even a chef who was being rescued.

"You came at the right time. The food is ready to be served." Miku, who was controlling two pots with a wooden box suspended beside him, said to Christen who came in.

It was said to be out of the pot, but the things in the wooden box floating next to Miku were thrown into the oil pan.

Then, in just a few seconds, Miku scooped out the food fried in the pan with a spoon.

At the same time, the wok that had been dangling with his left hand was also lifted up, and before the contents of the spoon were put into the plate, a stream of light golden viscous liquid was poured into the air.

"The last step is to pour the sauce." As he spoke, Miku took the red sauce that he had spent half a day making and poured it into the fried food on the plate.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the red sauce poured in immediately mixed in.

Thus, a plate of steaming red dish dotted with white jade was completed.

"Is this... spicy tofu?" Looking at the familiar dish, Christine swallowed her saliva as she recalled the stress reaction she had after eating a spoonful of spicy tofu.

As soon as Christen finished her words, the chefs next to her, whose worldviews seemed to have been reshaped, turned their heads away with expressions of dismay.

"You can try it." Miku picked up a spoon specially used for eating spicy tofu and handed it to Christen.

Christen, who felt as if the whole world was surrounded by spicy smell, took the spoon hesitantly.

In the end, I decided that Miku would never let me down, so I would accept it even if he did.

Kristen closed her eyes and scooped a spoonful of mapo tofu into her mouth.

"...Aren't you afraid of getting burned? It's just out of the pot. Oh, yes, your body doesn't seem to be afraid of heat now." Miku reminded Christen, who had a fearless expression.

Just as Miku said, Christen felt the heat as soon as the dish entered her mouth.

Especially in order to better savor the food, after taking a bite of cabbage just now, Kristen slightly adjusted her sense of taste and touch, making herself a little more sensitive.

Of course, not as exaggerated as Arturo's fifty times... Having said that, it seems that Arturo has adapted to that fifty times physical sensitivity.

However, beneath the heat, what Christen felt was not the spicy taste she had imagined, but sweetness, very sweet, so sweet that it could make one's heart light up.

The next feeling is a cool taste. The tofu should have been boiled from beginning to end, but after crushing the surface layer with the tip of the tongue, the inside is extremely cool.

The hot, sweet, icy, and slightly fruity flavor mixed together made Christine realize that this spicy dish that looked like spicy tofu was actually a dessert.

And it is a dessert that perfectly suits Colombians' heavy taste for oil and sugar.

"What kind of dish is this?" Kristen said as she scooped up the second spoonful and put it into her mouth, with no intention of sharing it with others.

"Strawberry Mapo Tofu!" Miku said as he untied the red cloth on his armband with a very ceremonial look.

The Yanguo version of the "Super Chef Logo" is exposed below

Looking at the logo on Miku's armband, the faces of the other chefs who also had this logo on their clothes were as ugly as they could be.

If his colleagues in Shangshu's hometown knew that another chef made a dish of strawberry mapo tofu in the kitchen he managed, his career as a chef would probably be over.

If Admiral Li, who values ​​culinary skills the most in Yan Country, gets to know about this, he will probably rush all the way to Columbia with the Yongling Sword to clean up the mess.

In fact, when these chefs knew what dish Miku was going to cook, they thought about stopping Miku's heretical behavior.

Then they had a cooking competition with Miku, which belonged to the dark cuisine world.

Miku solved their problem with a dish of sweet and sour pork with bubble milk tea and a portion of rice rolls with candied fruit.

Otherwise, this strawberry mapo tofu would have been served long ago.

Of course, Miku’s victory wasn’t due to poisoning these cooks with these two more unorthodox dishes.

Rather, these chefs tasted the two "dark" dishes made by Miku.

Now I understand why many seniors would say, "Even top chefs are divided into different levels."

It's so delicious that it's hard to say who is the heretic.

It was precisely because of this shock from Miku that the chef from Longmen almost couldn't catch his breath.

Come.

The person who was being rescued that Christen and her group saw when they just came in was the chef of Longmen.

Because this Longmen chef had objected most fiercely and his words were mixed with a lot of Longmen swear words, Miku chose two dark Longmen dishes.

"I see..." After listening to what Miku said in the private chat channel, Christen nodded.

Saria, who was following behind her, couldn't help but ask, "Can you eat slower?"

"..." Only then did Christen realize that most of Miku's special "Strawberry Mapo Tofu" had been eaten by her, and only a few white tofu cubes were left lying in the red sauce.

"It's okay. This thing is made quite quickly." Miku picked up the raw materials that had just been ground and poured them into the tofu making box.

After patting the lid of the box to make sure it was sealed tightly, Miku said "the world" in a normal tone.

After reading it, open the lid and the tofu that would normally take several hours or even more than a day to make is now ready.

"..." Watching this scene, Christen always felt that compared to the process of cooking, Miku's process of making tofu was the most exaggerated.

Is it really okay to make tofu using this method of playing with time?

"Of course it's no problem. Skills are meant to be used."

Miku said that he didn't need to read minds, he could tell what Kristen was thinking just by looking at the changes in her expression.

Kristen didn't know whether she should agree with Miku's conclusion. After a moment of silence, she turned the topic back to the dessert.

To be precise, it turned back to the question of why she smelled a spicy smell when she picked up the dish just now.

Strawberry jam replaces the hot sauce, and the tofu is fried quickly at high speed and low temperature. The syrup makes the dish look as shiny as real spicy tofu, while covering up the slightly sour taste of the strawberry jam itself.

But where does that spicy flavor come from?

In response to Kristen's question, Miku asked in a somewhat strange way:

"This is the kitchen of a Sichuan restaurant. It's a problem if your dog nose can't smell the spicy smell."

"..." So the truth is so simple? Christen finished the remaining Mapo Tofu in a few bites. There was no Mapo left on the plate, only the strawberry Mapo Tofu.

Anyway, Miku will continue to do it, so there is no need to divide it.

Because it is easy to make... at least for Miku, the Strawberry Mapo Tofu was easy to make and soon everyone had a plate of it, and even the top chefs from Yan Country were given a bowl.
