People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Legolas and the others nodded, and Gandalf also looked pleased. Lucifer smiled and said, "Aragorn, congratulations to mankind on their final victory."

Aragorn nodded and said, "Thank you for the compliment, madam..."

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "Although I am glad that you call me Madam, let me introduce myself. I am Lucifer, one of Bai Yu's lovers, and the Queen of Hell."

"What?!" x4

All four were stunned. Gandalf exclaimed in disbelief, "Hell?! Is this the hell I imagined?!"

After Lucifer explained, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief. Gandalf sighed and said, "I used to think Hell was full of demons, but it turns out it's like this...."

Pande said softly, "Hell in different worlds is definitely different, at least our hell is different from yours."

"you are?"

"Pandmonica, one of Bai Yu's lovers, is Hell's customer service, or in your words, a receptionist."

The four nodded, and Riven introduced herself, though she didn't mention that she was his lover. Hancock, on the other hand, immediately raised her hand and shouted, "I am also Mr. Baiyu's woman!"

Just as Pander was about to raise his hand, Hancock turned and glanced at Pander Monica. Pander Monica then lowered her hand. Hancock smiled, but decided to play it safe and wait for Bai Yu to come out before being cheeky.

No one dwelled on Hancock's words, and Lucifer naturally inquired about Aragorn and the others' experiences. Just as he was about to speak, Yukari Yakumo and the others arrived. However, the unscrupulous magician was absent today, saying he was busy researching magic.

Looking at the four of them, Yukari Yakumo said with some surprise, "Wow! They seem to have quite a story. Ran, it turns out our sleep schedule is very scientific."

Yakumo Ran really wanted to shout, "Lady Yukari! Your sleep schedule is very scientific, but Reimu's and my bellies aren't!"

Reimu didn't know what kind of agreement she had reached with Yukari Yakumo, but in short, Yukari Yakumo would invite Reimu to the restaurant three times a week. Reimu came along today. Although it was said to be three times, Yukari Yakumo would invite her to eat at the restaurant a few more times if she was in a good mood.

Reimu and Yukari ordered the same sweet and sour pork ribs as before, because they felt there was some juicy gossip to gossip about, so they could listen while they ate. Ran also ordered Sichuan peppercorn chicken and fried tofu. This fox really loves fried tofu.

After Bai Yu left, Yakumo Yukari smiled and said, "What story? I'd like to hear it too."

Reimu said irritably, "Yukari Yakumo, you really never say a word when Manager Shiraha is around."

Yukari Yakumo, somewhat embarrassed but still assertive, said, "We already said we ordered!"

"cut...."

Aragorn quietly recounted the story of the One Ring, and Reimu and the others gradually listened attentively. Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf would occasionally chime in with their own words. It was clear that Aragorn was indeed a leader; his ability to summarize and articulate ideas was truly remarkable.

Everyone was stunned as they listened, and they could already picture the scene in their minds: tragic, heroic, thrilling, heavy, and terrifying words flooded their thoughts.

Feelings of greatness, admiration, and recognition also arose in everyone's hearts. For the first time, Hancock did not feel any malice towards a man other than Bai Yu. She could only feel respect. He was a hero who had saved humanity and Middle-earth.

Regardless of whether Hancock ate the Love-Love Fruit or not, it doesn't affect her character. She is human, and it is perfectly reasonable for her to feel respect.

Riven was the one who felt it most deeply, and she also realized how naive her thoughts were. She thought she could change Noxus by herself, which was far too much. Aragorn and the others sacrificed so much to bring peace, and her strength alone was too insignificant.

However, this also made Riven very happy, because she is also human, and she could feel how great and sacred it is to fight for protection. She was glad that she now had something she wanted to protect.

Yukari Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a tragic story, but thankfully... in the end, it was humanity that prevailed, not Sauron. Those two hobbits had it a bit too difficult."

Aragorn nodded and said, “Yes…those four hobbits are heroes of Middle-earth, and they deserve to be respected and remembered.”

Lucifer sighed and said, "A new era has been ushered in by a fierce victory, Aragorn. You should cherish this peace that was bought with the sacrifice of countless people."

Aragorn nodded and said somewhat seriously, "I will... Shopkeeper Baiyu once told me the principle that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. I will strictly demand of myself this."

Riven sighed and said, "We're both human kingdoms, so why is Noxus so heartless..."

Just as Aragorn was about to ask, he saw Bai Yu pushing a food cart towards them, which immediately pulled them out of their grief.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Looks like you've been waiting a long time. So, the first dish is Brazilian barbecue, Wensi tofu soup, West Lake fish in vinegar sauce, beef stew in Burgundy red wine, and green papaya salad. I didn't just make Chinese food for you; I think a mix would be more acceptable to you."

After smelling it, Aragorn smiled and said, "Although I don't know what Chinese food or whatever it is, I can smell this enticing aroma."

Legolas felt the same way; he was also hungry when he saw the sumptuous meal on the table. Jinli, on the other hand, couldn't wait any longer. Bai Yu demonstrated how to drink red wine before letting everyone do it themselves.

Jinli, on the other hand, got the big bottle of strong liquor he had been longing for, and was as happy as a child weighing hundreds of pounds. Bai Yu said "Please enjoy" and then went to prepare the dishes for Yakumo Yukari and the others.

Aragorn laughed and said, "Come on, let's drink to this victory."

Legolas looked very excited holding a glass of red wine, while Gimli held a bottle, which was completely out of place. After clinking glasses, everyone finally tasted the red wine.

Legolas and his two companions were taken aback. They exchanged glances, and Aragorn nodded with a smile. Legolas said with some surprise, "The grapes for this wine are absolutely delicious. They have aromas of wood and nuts, and a hint of tobacco in the aftertaste. What kind of grapes are these?"

Gandalf nodded and said, "I must say, this is the first time I've ever tasted wine like this. It's incredibly delicious, but it makes me even more excited for the food in front of me."

Aragorn was about to speak when he saw Gimli sitting silently to one side, his fists clenched. Aragorn asked in confusion, "Gimli, what's wrong?"

Jin Li let out a long sigh, said nothing, picked up the bottle in his hand and looked at it. After a long while, he tapped the bottle and said, "To be honest, this stuff... is stronger than the strongest liquor I've ever drunk. I felt my throat burning just now."

"But judging from your expression, you seem to want more."

Jinli laughed and said, "A brave dwarf will never be defeated by alcohol. To be honest, this alcohol is strong, but it tastes really good. If I were to go to a cold place, I feel that one bottle of this could keep me alive there for a long time."

Legolas asked in disbelief, "That powerful?"

Jinli said with a smile, "Come on, let's exchange them and have a taste."

Legolas handed the cup to Gimli, who tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth, smacking his lips and saying, "Sweet! Mine's really strong! Here! Try it!"

Gimli poured Legolas a mouthful of wine as if it were a precious treasure. Legolas was somewhat amused and exasperated. He smelled it and frowned; the wine was too strong. But he still mustered his courage and drank it down in one gulp.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Hahaha! You can't do it either! Hahahaha!"

Legolas swore he had never drunk such strong liquor before; his fair face turned bright red, whether from drinking too much or from choking, he couldn't tell, but it was probably from choking.

Legolas waved his hand and said, "No, no, this is not suitable for me. I'd rather drink wine. Noble elves should drink wine."

"Hey! That's a great reason!"

Aragorn looked at the two clowns without saying anything, just smiled and shook his head. They didn't have chopsticks, but he still found them very interesting. Why would they use so many wooden sticks to eat?

Gandalf laughed and said, "Aragorn, what have you discovered?"

"I think this is a piece of tableware, but I don't know how it's supposed to be used. However, I feel it would be a very interesting way to eat."

Legolas also picked up two pieces and looked at them. They all used knives and forks, and they ate with their hands. When had they ever seen such tableware? For a moment, all of them looked puzzled.

Gandalf laughed and said, “Exploring new things is a good thing, but letting delicious food get cold is not a good thing.”

As he spoke, he picked up a fork and aimed directly at the Brazilian barbecue. You would never guess that he was an old man with white hair and beard. After all, a normal person of his age would have gone straight for the Wensi tofu soup. Who would have thought that he would head straight for the barbecue?

"Wow... this barbecue is grilled beautifully, not burnt at all, the meat is very tender, and the aroma is irresistible..."

Gandalf examined it for a moment and then put it in his mouth. The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted. Aragorn also knew that this was probably not just delicious, so he also picked up a piece with his fork. The next moment, Aragorn just smiled and shook his head, saying, "Still the same delicious taste."

Legolas also fully demonstrates that elves are carnivorous. As a race that loves hunting, elves are indeed an omnivorous race. However, they do not eat food that is too strongly flavored or particularly greasy.

Legolas tried it too, and was completely stunned, saying in disbelief, "This... what kind of animal is this meat? Why is it so delicious...?"

The gravy! The most crucial element of grilled meat is this gravy! Every bite of grilled meat should allow you to fully savor the deliciousness beyond the sauce! That's right! It's the gravy! The true flavor of the meat itself is right here.

Bai Yu also considered that they were not ordinary people, so he made a large portion of each dish. The tender roasted meat fully displayed the juices while also showcasing the aroma of the roasted meat itself. The satisfaction of that bite was when the teeth crushed the meat into minced meat, and the aroma of the meat juices and seasonings exploded in the mouth.

Legolas has never had such well-grilled meat before. The texture is superb, not greasy at all, yet the aroma of the meat is preserved. The perfectly seasoned sauce brings out the deliciousness of the meat. Grilled meat should be associated with enjoyment.

With a bite of grilled meat and a sip of wine, nothing is a worry, and any unpleasant feelings will be diluted by this feeling, especially since they came here to celebrate.

Legolas laughed and said, "You're right, it's still as delicious as ever. I've never had such good roast meat."

Jinli nodded repeatedly. Just then, Yukari and the others brought over their dishes. Reimu couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, and Aragorn and the others were also drawn to them.

When they saw how to use it, all four of them instinctively picked it up as well. They were all people who knew how to use weapons, and they weren't stupid either. They learned how to use chopsticks just by watching Reimu use them.

When Reimu picked up a piece of pork rib, all four of them suddenly realized that there was such a way of eating. Aragorn laughed and said, "An interesting way. This solves the problem of everyone having to use knives and forks for dishes like fish."

Legolas nodded and said, "The key is that these utensils are so easy to find. As long as there are trees around, you can find utensils, so you don't have to use your hands. It's a great idea."

Aragorn nodded and said, "And with the solution to cutting it solved, it seems like these cutlery pieces are worth using. They can be made of slightly better wood or clean metal and rock, which also makes them easy to clean."

Legolas nodded, and Gimli also found it very interesting. They were all experts in using weapons, so they had seen how to use them and could learn with a little practice. Their experiment was aimed at that fish.

Aragon slowly reached for the West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce with his chopsticks. Under the gaze of the others, he picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks without disturbing its appearance, and he did indeed pick up fish meat.

Aragorn laughed and said, “It’s surprisingly useful. This way, everyone can eat the same plate of fish without having to use knives and forks together, or stewing it into soup. This is great.”

Gandalf and his companions tried it out and found the cutlery to be very useful. They were all amazed, as if they had discovered a new continent. But soon they were stunned by the wonderful taste.

Legolas really didn't know what to say. Elves eat both meat and fish, but he really didn't know that fish could be cooked so deliciously. His impression of fish was that it was simply grilled or stewed with some simple spices and salt, and that was it.

He didn't even know what kind of fish it was; he only knew that the dish was delicious, and that was enough. With this fish, the refreshing green papaya salad and the exquisitely flavorful, savory Wensi tofu soup that followed seemed much more appropriate.

Let's put it this way: even Gandalf is never seen in a white robe, and only Aragorn has any semblance of elegance. Even Legolas enjoys a bowl of soup, a bite of meat, a bite of fish, a sip of wine, and a sip of green papaya salad in his spare time. The feeling of that is so refreshing. Putting aside everything else, it's not unreasonable that the desire for food is one of the original sins.

The Burgundy beef stew was completely ignored. The reason is simple: the first thing they noticed was the roast meat, followed by the West Lake fish in vinegar sauce, which they ate out of curiosity about using chopsticks, and then the green papaya salad to cleanse their palate. Of course, they also had soup, so... the elder brother of the dish was just put aside.

But just as they were enjoying their meal, in another room filled with a traditional Japanese style, a beautiful woman was tidying up her things while laughing. As she was tidying up, she saw two strange things floating over and said, "Yuko Yuko! Warm water! Warm water!"

Yuuko Ichihara smiled and took out the toner, face cream, and other toiletries she had saved so much time on, saying with a laugh, "Finally done! I can finally go home! I saved so much time! I'm not saving any more!"

"Yuko is so strange..."

"How strange! How strange!"

Yuuko Ichihara didn't mind. She glanced at her prized pipe lying to the side, looked at it for a long time, then reached out and hugged it to her chest, saying with a conflicted expression, "Should I take you with me...? You can't even talk... *sss*..."

Chapter 576 The King of Wine, Yuuko the Miner (Please Subscribe~)

Legolas and his companions only remembered something they had been overlooking halfway through their meal: beef stew in Burgundy red wine. This was not something they could easily eat whenever they wanted in their world.

Even if there are cows in some places, they can't eat them whenever they want. They eat more horse meat and similar meats.

Aragorn gave everyone a large bowl, full of chunks of meat, which made Gimli as happy as a child weighing hundreds of pounds. They now have a very good impression of chopsticks as a utensil, and basically use them for everything except drinking soup.

Since they were all experts in using weapons, they used them quite skillfully. Yakumo Yukari and the others didn't notice anything unusual at all, and it was absurd for them to be surprised to see someone using chopsticks.

Hancock continued with her usual light diet. To be precise, Bai Yu arranged light meals for her. Bai Yu had been to that other world and knew what the food was like there, so he didn't make it too oily for her. It was a change of pace. Most importantly... it wouldn't be good for her to eat too much oily food so late at night.

The dish called Burgundy beef stew is, in essence, as simple and easy to understand as its name suggests, with absolutely no difficulty involved.

There's a lot of room for variation in beef stew with Burgundy red wine. You can add bacon, potatoes, or small eggplants, and each added ingredient can create a completely different culinary experience.

If you say that Burgundy red wine, many people who don't know much about wine will think, "Ah! Isn't that a well-known brand? It has to be Lafite, that's a famous wine from a Bordeaux winery."

Many people might have this idea, but Bordeaux has five famous wineries, and Lafite is just one of them. Lafite can be further subdivided into many types.

Lafite wine is characterized by its prominent floral and fruity aromas, mellow and smooth texture, and elegance. It is known as the queen of the wine kingdom. The Lafite estate covers a total area of ​​90 hectares, with 8,500 vines planted per hectare. Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for about 70%, Merlot about 20%, and the remainder is Cabernet Franc. The average age of the vines is over 40 years, and the annual production is about 30,000 cases of wine.

However, at Lafite, only two to three vines can produce one 750ml bottle of wine, which is what makes it so precious. It's no wonder it's called the queen of wines; it's truly smooth on the palate, bursting with fruity aromas, and leaves an unforgettable aftertaste.

Therefore, many people think that Burgundy red wine, which appears in cooking, is very cheap, weak, or even a small brand. But is that really the case?

I already know how precious the grapes from Château Lafite Rothschild are; they look as plump and beautiful as grapes from a fairy tale.

But that wasn't the best grape. When it comes to the best grape in the world, opinions may vary, but one name will never be forgotten: Pinot Noir.

Some people might think that a grape can't be that delicious. But here's the thing: Lafite is very expensive. You often see people in TV dramas saying, "Give me a bottle of Lafite from this year," but who ever hears someone ordering a bottle of Romanée-Conti from this year when they're drinking?

That's right, the world's most precious wine, the world's most dreamlike wine, is made from Pinot Noir grapes.

By now, it should be clear that Pinot Noir is produced in Burgundy, so... Romanée-Conti is also a wine from a Burgundy winery. Do you still think Burgundy is just an ordinary brand?

The Burgundy region comprises 101 AOC appellations, 562 Premier Cru vineyards, 33 Grand Cru vineyards, and over 4000 wineries. While Burgundy boasts 101 AOC appellations, representing a quarter of France's more than 400 AOC appellations, they actually account for only about 6% of the country's annual wine production.

The vast majority of Burgundy wines are AOC-level wines; in other words, any wine that bears the name Burgundy is not your average red wine.

The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, where the winery is located, is one of the Grand Cru wine regions. This "one of" should be emphasized. Burgundy wines are powerful and robust, which is the opposite of the smoothness of Bordeaux wines. Do you remember what Lafite is called? The Queen of the Wine Kingdom, while Burgundy red wines are known as the King of Wines.

It has such a rich and diverse flavor. The beef, stewed with high-quality red wine, is so tender that, not to mention the slightly charred brown color combined with the beautiful red hue of the wine, it is enough to whet the appetite just by looking at it and smelling the aroma.

One bite, and all you can taste is the aroma. The fruit itself softens the meat and adds a wonderful flavor, not to mention the Burgundy red wine made with high-quality grapes, plus the honey added to speed up the cooking process, making the already tender beef even more succulent.

A touch of wine's sweet and sour notes, a hint of oak, a dash of pepper or other spices, and a touch of honey's smooth sweetness—all blend together perfectly in the mouth, using the meat gravy.

The tender beef is like biting into a soufflé cake – soft and fluffy. Each bite is like savoring the broth made from fine red wine, as if the beef is just an accompaniment and the real essence lies in the meat juices and broth.

A top-tier experience: a bite of Burgundy beef paired with a sip of fine, chilled wine, gently swirling under soft lighting. Gazing through the alluring red wine at the beautiful, fragrant, and steaming beef, it's a twisted interpretation of the original flavor, yet still a top-tier indulgence.
