People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

After picking up a piece and looking at it, Yakumo Yukari blinked after taking a bite, looked down at the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, chewed it, and then exclaimed with a bright smile, "Wow! This is so delicious!"

The dish called "Squirrel Mandarin Fish" gets its name from the fact that the mandarin fish is shaped like a squirrel. It is quite famous and is considered a renowned dish.

It seems that, apart from carp, the fish in rivers and lakes are not easy to cook. Whether it's West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce or some other dishes, none of them can be made easily.

The same goes for this squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. Putting aside everything else, just carving it into the shape of a squirrel is no easy task. Using a carving knife on a fish is a delicate job.

Most importantly, when the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is served to you, you ask just one question: How is this made?

Most people would just shout, "Steamed!" and then pour the broth over it!

Unfortunately, this dish is deep-fried, and you have to pour hot oil over it and sprinkle it with braising liquid. That takes real skill; it's not an easy job.

There's absolutely no need to worry about accidentally swallowing a bone in this Squirrel Mandarin Fish dish. First of all, just by looking at its squirrel shape, you can tell that the bone is probably easy to spot. Secondly, mandarin fish itself has very few bones, and they've already been removed. The most unpleasant thing about eating fish is having to be careful about eating fish bones. You only get a small bite at a time, and it takes a long time to cleanse the bones, which is very annoying.

This dish perfectly avoids this problem. The fish head and body are prepared in two separate steps, but both must be deep-fried. When the fish is fully cooked, the sound of small oil bubbles popping on the fish is truly mouthwatering.

Since squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is associated with squirrels, it naturally includes pine nuts, which are squirrels' favorite food.

Without a doubt, the pine nuts are also deep-fried. They are fried for a few dozen seconds and then set aside. Using the remaining oil in the pot, add clear broth, sugar, tomato sauce, and balsamic vinegar, and start simmering. The final step is to thicken the sauce with cornstarch slurry.

Pine nuts are sprinkled on top, and then the braising sauce is poured over it. When the brightly colored braising sauce is poured over the fish, the whole "squirrel" seems to come alive, squeaking as it does so.

This is Squirrel Mandarin Fish, a fish dish that, like a squirrel, is delicious and makes a squeaking sound. This deliciousness is enough to conquer the taste buds of diners with just one bite.

The "Squirrel Mandarin Fish" is meticulously prepared and uniquely presented. This dish is colorful, fragrant, flavorful, and visually appealing. What's even more interesting is the sound it makes. The fish's head is slightly raised and its tail is held high. After being fried until golden brown, it is taken out, placed on a plate, and drizzled with sauce. The sound is like a squirrel, making it look just like a squirrel walking slowly with its head down. It truly deserves to be called a famous dish.

Although the fish was deep-fried, it still retained its tender and soft texture. It was sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making one wonder, is this really a fish? Or is it really a squirrel?

If it weren't for the tenderness of the fish meat and its delicious flavor, she would have really doubted whether it was a squirrel.

Yukari Yakumo was completely captivated by the texture and taste. She had never eaten fish like this before. She didn't even know whether to nibble or chew. If she nibbled, she wouldn't be able to feel the slight crispness, and if she chewed, the soft texture would be too wasteful.

Yukari Yakumo sighed and looked at Yuuka Kazami, saying, "Although I've said it once, I still have to say it again, Yuuka! How could you not tell our shopkeeper about the shop!"

Kazami Yuuka completely ignored her and continued eating. Yakumo Yukari squinted at a pretty little sake bottle on the side, picked it up, tilted her head, and said, "What kind of sake is this...? It smells so good!"

The moment Yukari Yakumo opened the lid, a rich and mellow aroma of sake wafted out. Ran Yakumo was also slightly taken aback. This sake smells so good! Yukari Yakumo couldn't wait to pour herself a small glass. Looking at the clear sake, she took a sip and exclaimed with shining eyes, "Manager! What kind of sake is this?! It smells so good, like flowers!"

"Peach blossom wine is one of the wines suitable for ladies."

"One of them? Are there other wines like this?"

"a lot of."

After downing her drink in one gulp, Yukari Yakumo smiled and said, "Then let's try them all! Ran! Don't just stand there, drink with me!"

"Eh? Oh!"

Chapter 472 Yakumo Ran's Happiness, Shiraha's Feelings (Please Subscribe~)

Speaking of food, that's what made Yakumo Ran happiest tonight. No matter what, it's definitely better than water! And the aroma just now even made Kazami Yuuka glance up slightly.

Kazami Yuuka wasn't drinking because she wanted to, but because she smelled the fragrance of flowers. Yakumo Ran's sake was the same; after pouring a little, she clinked glasses with Yakumo Yukari. As soon as the sake went down her throat, she understood why Yakumo Yukari wanted to drink all of these sakes.

This is not just a simple fragrance; it is an indescribable, delicate aroma that seems to reach straight to the soul. This delicate aroma made Yakumo Ran's expression change.

Yakumo Ran glanced at the fried tofu on one side, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to eat the Dong'an chicken on the other side first. There was no other reason, just because it was chicken and it was a dish she had never eaten before.

Picking up a piece, a little bit of broth dripped down, Yakumo Ran swallowed hard and put it in her mouth. The next moment, her tail swayed back and forth like Cerberus eating something delicious or being praised.

Lucifer's eyes lit up at the sight of it. That fluffy big tail was just too cute. Lucifer's eyes lit up just thinking about the warm and soft feeling of that plush doll.

Yakumo Ran had no idea that her tail had caught the eye of the Queen of Hell, but right now, all she could think about was that Dong Anzi chicken, which was the most important thing.

Dong'an Chicken – many people may not know this name, but what comes to mind if we mention dishes like Mapo Tofu or West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce?

That's right, Dong'an Chicken is one of the top ten Chinese dishes. None of the dishes that make it into the top ten are ordinary delicacies, and each of them has a long history.

However, these ten dishes also have one thing in common: none of them are particularly complicated in terms of preparation, but they require "skill"—each one is a dish that demands skill.

Among them, Dong'an Chicken is probably one of the most complicated to prepare, because it is one of the few dishes among the ten dishes that uses multiple cooking methods. First, it is boiled and cooled, then stir-fried, and finally simmered. Before serving, chopped green onions and sesame oil are added.

This step is perfectly normal for other dishes, but for these ten dishes, each simpler than the last, it's quite tedious.

The second common characteristic of all the dishes in the ten dishes is that they are all delicious. Every dish can be associated with deliciousness, and this dish is no exception.

When Dong'an chicken is cooked, it comes in four colors on one plate: white, yellow, red, and green. The white meat, yellow skin, red chili peppers, and green scallions make it very eye-catching.

It uses a special hen, which is very rich in fat. After being cooked and cooled, the chicken meat is tender and delicious, and the skin is incredibly elastic and smooth.

Stir-frying brings out the unique aroma of hot dishes, and the aroma of hot food is always more intense than that of cold food. This simple dish reveals an extraordinary deliciousness.

Chinese cuisine emphasizes color, aroma, and flavor, and this dish completely satisfies that. Whether it's the tangy, spicy, and rich aroma, the visually appealing four-color dishes, or the taste, it's simply irresistible.

The chicken is delicate and tender, and the skin is crispy and smooth. Just thinking about it makes me imagine how delicious it is. Just stir-fry it in a pot with young ginger and fresh chili peppers. The aroma is already amazing, but that's not enough. Add white vinegar to enhance the aroma and acidity, and Sichuan peppercorns to further enhance the aroma and flavor.

What cooking wine, what chicken broth, just pour it in and stir-fry it. Just thinking about the aroma makes you want to shout for rice. What's more, there's a step of slowly simmering it, which infuses all the broth, all the flavor, and all the rich aroma into the chicken. Just thinking about the taste makes your mouth water.

Just before taking it out of the pot, give yourself a grand exit: drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with chopped green onions, mix well, and the dish is truly complete.

Dong'an chicken is beautifully presented, brightly colored, tender, tangy and spicy, rich yet not greasy, and delicious. It is fragrant, nutritious, and has a perfect balance of six flavors: savory, sweet, sour, spicy, tender, and crispy.

When you pick up a piece of chicken that is fatty but not greasy, crisp and tender, and sweet and sour, the skin trembles slightly under the light, the sesame oil on it shines slightly, and occasionally a few drops of soup drip down. When you put it in your mouth and take a bite, all the deliciousness and the disappeared soup burst out.

There's no other word to describe it except "fragrant." It's an aggressively delicious flavor, a flavor that makes your mouth water just thinking about it.

Yakumo Ran ate her chicken and wine with great relish. She was so touched that she never thought she would be tricked by her own Lady Yukari. It was wonderful!

Yukari Yakumo smiled as she watched Ran Yakumo eat so heartily. Although she liked to leave everything to Ran Yakumo, she actually cared about Ran Yakumo a lot.

After all, she was her only shikigami, just like her family. She knew about Yakumo Ran's usual efforts, so she cared a lot about her beloved fox spirit.

"Mmm, it's delicious!"

Yukari Yakumo smiled and continued eating her fish. She was still thinking about what was going to happen next. In any case, what Yuuka Kazami said today had really frightened her.

Yukari Yakumo has decided that she must come every day until she makes a decision. Firstly, to enjoy the food; secondly, to see if there are any interesting guests; and finally, to see if anyone else comes over. She absolutely cannot let them make decisions on their own.

Bai Yu glanced at the comic book in his hand, then at Lucifer beside him, and asked in confusion, "Lucifer, do you have a strange feeling?"

No, what's wrong?

Bai Yu shook his head and looked at Pandemonica beside him. Pandemonica also shook her head and said, "No, Bai Yu, what did you sense?"

Bai Yu frowned slightly, shook her head, and didn't say anything more. Lucifer tilted her head and glanced at Bai Yu, but didn't come closer. She knew that if Bai Yu didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't be able to get it out of her.

What Bai Yu didn't mention earlier was that he seemed to sense a similar aura to the two of them. Bai Yu could also tell that Lucifer didn't want to see his employees but didn't say anything. However, Bai Yu had a feeling that this place was about to turn into another kind of hell. (Modis: Alas!)

Chapter 473 Nami, who was slapped in, is Yakumo Ran's favorite (Please subscribe~)

Yakumo Ran was in a great mood, with a beaming smile on her face. Yakumo Yukari had no idea that Yakumo Ran was planning to celebrate today as an anniversary. It was such a rare occasion; she never even dared to dream of such a thing.

After eating Dong'an chicken and drinking peach blossom wine, her mood immediately improved. The fox was humming as she ate. Kazami Yuuka had a pretty good impression of Yakumo Ran. Overall, she had a better impression of almost everyone than of Yakumo Yukari.

Seeing Yakumo Ran eating so heartily, Kazami Yuuka smiled but didn't say anything. Yakumo Yukari glanced at her and knew what Kazami Yuuka was thinking. She also felt that Yakumo Ran sometimes seemed to be working too hard.

Yakumo Ran didn't think that much. It's abnormal to think so much while eating; just eat.

However, in order to prove that she was a loyal fox, Yakumo Ran turned her attention to her favorite fried tofu after eating half of the food. She preferred fried tofu to meat!

Fried tofu is a snack; it's simply to cut tofu into pieces and fry them. But tofu itself is a delicacy. Even if it's eaten raw without any processing, it has a unique flavor, let alone after being deep-fried.

When you think of oil, the words that come to mind are greasy and fragrant. When you think of tofu, the words that come to mind are tender and fresh. It is this tender and fresh nature that prevents fried tofu from becoming greasy. It only retains a crispy crust and the aroma of oil.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a pleasant aroma, the first bite produces a crisp sound that only you can hear, followed by a tender and soft texture – that's the charm of fried tofu.

Of course, there's more to it than just that it's a popular snack. Another reason is the nature of tofu. Tofu itself is indeed incredibly delicious, but its flavor is also too monotonous and bland. Any other flavor can mask its natural taste.

This is the meaning of dipping sauce. At this moment, Yakumo Ran picked up a piece of fried tofu, looked at the dipping sauce in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then dipped it in the barbecue powder on the side. After putting it in her mouth, she knew that there was a reason why she loved fried tofu the most!

"Mmm! So delicious! Now, next is... mmm... what exactly is this transparent dipping sauce? And what are these little dots in it?"

Although Yakumo Ran was puzzled, she still picked up a piece of fried tofu, dipped it in, and brought her nose close to smell it. Her eyes lit up; it smelled very fragrant, but she didn't know what it was.

"It smells so good! What kind of dipping sauce is this?!"

Yakumo Ran's tails were swaying back and forth; she felt like she had struck gold!

Yakumo Ran turned to look at Shiraha, who was reading a book, and said politely, "Manager!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Hmm... I really want to know what this clear sauce is. It smells so good, and it's sweet and sour!"

"That's herb salad dressing. It has a lot of spices in it, and it's probably a little spicy too."

"Huh? Hmm! I didn't notice it before, but it really is a bit spicy!"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "This is probably a way of eating that very few people know about. Some of the dipping sauces are quite interesting to eat."

"Huh? I'm really looking forward to it!"

As Yakumo Ran spoke, she looked at the other dipping sauces. She was now determined to try all the strange dipping sauces she had never seen before before, before Yakumo Yukari noticed!

"Mmm... this is meat sauce! It's delicious!"

"Hmm? It's sweet, but this feeling... Mr. Manager!"

"Oh...it's yellow mustard...hmm! It's a sauce that tastes like rosemary and some other unidentified spice!"

"Hmm...this tastes like roasted salt!"

Just as Yakumo Ran was enjoying various flavors of fried tofu as if on an adventure, Yakumo Yukari noticed the commotion and gave a mischievous grin. Yakumo Ran also sensed something was wrong, glanced sideways, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?

Just as Yukari Yakumo was about to reach out that wicked little hand, Ran Yakumo froze, Yukari Yakumo froze, and even Yuuka Kazami froze. The door opened by itself with a bang, emitting white light, but no one came in.

Bai Yu sighed and said, "What an absurd day, Lucifer. How many times has this happened?"

"I don't know. It's happened many times, but this is the first time it's been opened except for Yuuka and the others. Who is coming? Tonight is so strange."

Meanwhile, in the One Piece world, Nami, who had been flying for a long time, was almost asleep. Thanks to the residual effects of Lucifer's protective magic, she only suffered minor injuries, which were negligible to her. She was so hungry and tired after floating for so long that she was about to fall asleep.

But just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly saw the light, which instantly woke her up and made her realize that it was dark here. This made her so happy! She became very excited.

She had already decided that once she arrived, she would first find a door and go to the shop. She was really tired and hungry, and she was sure that there would be a solution to the problem once she got to the shop! She also realized that Xiong had no intention of killing them at all.

"Great! Now we can get to the store!"

"Good! Getting closer! It's the house! We're almost there! Great!"

"Huh? Wait...wait! No...no! We're going to crash! We're going to crash!"

"Hey old man up there! Don't close the door! Don't close the door! Don't close the door!"

An old man who came out of the tower was horrified when he saw Nami flying towards him. He quickly ran to the side. Nami breathed a sigh of relief and shouted as she got close to the door, "I need to go to the shop!"

Nami had been thinking about the shop the whole way when the door suddenly emitted light. Nami breathed a sigh of relief and flew into the door the next moment, leaving behind an old man with an incredulous expression. Just as the old man was about to go over and check the door, it returned to normal.

The old man stared at the empty room in disbelief and exclaimed, "What is this?! A miracle! A miracle!"

Bai Yu, on the other side, was slightly taken aback. He stood up and walked towards the door. Then, to everyone's disbelief, a girl flew in, but Bai Yu held her tightly and did not take a step back.

Nami glanced at Bai Yu and then breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Manager Bai Yu... I... I'm here again..."

Nami fainted after speaking, as she was exhausted. Bai Yu looked puzzled. What the heck? Weren't you asleep? Why are you acting like you're giving your last instructions? Girl, you're so dramatic.

Chapter 474 Shy Nami, and Interested Yakumo Yukari (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, everyone in the store was staring blankly at Bai Yu, or more accurately, at Nami whom Bai Yu was holding. Their strength was enough to tell them that although Nami was injured, she was perfectly fine, with only minor scratches and was just asleep.

Everyone stared at Nami speechlessly. Lucifer's lips twitched, and he pointed at the soundly sleeping Nami, saying, "Bai Yu, why do I feel like this girl looks a bit like Nami?"

Bai Yu sighed and said, "That's right, it's Nami..."

Lucifer's lips twitched as he looked at Nami and said, "Is this girl's gene strong, or did she eat something strange? Isn't she developing a little too fast?"

Bai Yu looked at Nami, who was clearly in even better shape than last time, and said helplessly, "It's probably a matter of feng shui. Different places nurture different people..."

Lucifer's lips twitched slightly as he said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that the body types in their world are somewhat abnormal... Fortunately, Nami is still very normal and cute."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "Why do you look like you're praising your own daughter?"

"I can't just say it out loud! But she's sleeping so soundly."

Bai Yu nodded and said softly, "Nami, Nami, wake up first."
