Reborn – Super Chef

"I also came to Xizhou City for this matter. Jinbing found out that someone is planning to hold a dark banquet, and that monkey is the main ingredient for this banquet!" Xing Sen said to Ye Chui with a serious face, saying Ye Chui vaguely felt that he was still a little angry when he said this.

"Dark Banquet?" Ye Chui heard this term for the first time.

"It is a kind of banquet that provides illegal food. This kind of banquet existed before the meat ban was lifted, but there is still no way to stop it, and there is even a growing trend. This is a very serious food crime. It is our gourmet food. The criminal police must be resolute about serious problems." Xing Sen continued to say to Ye Chui, "I just heard Jinbing say these things, so I rushed to Xizhou City in a hurry. Someone wants to hold a dark banquet here. I absolutely won't go around them."

"What is the main nature of this dark banquet?" Ye Chui was stunned, and continued to ask.

"In short, it is to eat ingredients prohibited by the country, some rare animals or cooking methods that violate human nature. The dark banquet embodies the dark side of human nature." Xing Sen explained, "The dark banquet has another name, We often call it dark cuisine."

"Dark cuisine..." Ye Chui suddenly thought of the dark cuisine of his previous life.

The so-called dark cuisine just refers to the kind of food that looks weird or unpalatable. The more famous one is the British way of looking up at the stars, and the Banlangen instant noodles that are particularly famous in the domestic dormitory culture...

Of course, the dark cuisine in this world obviously represents another meaning. Ye Chui thought of something, so he continued to ask Xing Sen: "I heard you say that the definition of dark cuisine is violating human nature or eating illegal ingredients, but meat is poisonous. In those years, what did dark cooking refer to?"

"The poisonous meat is the reason for the emergence of dark cuisine." Xing Sen's expression was indescribably dignified, "Because of the vegetarian virus, all animals carry viruses that can kill humans, but among these animals there is a kind of The meat is harmless to humans."

While talking, Xing Sen fixed his eyes on Ye Chui, that expression made Ye Chui shudder suddenly.

He had already thought of an answer in his mind: "Could it be. Humans themselves..."

"It's a bug." Xing Sen said with a smile.

Ye Chui: "..."

Seeing Ye Chui's frightened look, Xing Sen was indescribably proud, it was obviously intentional to make things so scary just now...

Ye Chui rolled his eyes and asked: "So it's like this... The vegetarian virus didn't affect the bugs, but this is considered a dark dish? Some bugs should be edible, right?"

In the last life, people in some places had the habit of eating insects. Although it sounds disgusting at first, this dish is not as unbearable as it sounds. For example, there is a special snack in Tianjin, which is fried grasshopper. If you can get rid of psychological barriers, this dish is still very crispy and delicious. of.

And the hometown of Ye Chui's last life is full of pear trees, every summer night. Everyone will go to catch the cicada monkey—the scientific name of the cicada monkey is cicada monkey, which is the larva of cicadas (ps: we call it climbing fork, I don’t know if there is one like us~~), this kind of thing is rich in meat, even Some big restaurants will also specially buy cicada monkeys, which can be called special delicacies and are expensive.

In addition, many insects are famous medicinal materials, such as Cordyceps sinensis.

In some countries, the tradition of eating insects has existed since ancient times, so from the perspective of Ye Chui, the god of food, eating insects is not a big deal at all. In the last life, there was a strange man who survived in the wilderness who ate bugs as a common meal...

"Do you think any bug can be eaten?" But Xing Sen quickly gave Ye Chui a fatal blow, "Some bugs rich in protein are still poisonous, and only certain species can be eaten, such as... cockroaches .”

Ye Chui: "...Don't talk about it, readers won't be able to bear to abandon the book."

"All in all, some people created a dark cuisine because of their demand for meaty delicacies, and after the ban on meat was lifted, this cuisine quietly developed into another category, and there is even a growing trend, and if We discovered that someone secretly held a dark banquet. Then we must severely punish it.” Xing Sen continued to explain, and he finally got to the point, “According to the news from the other side of Jinbing, the one that was captured by someone Monkey. The purpose is to hold a dark banquet. A certain part of the monkey is very delicious. Guess where it is?"

"It's a monkey brain."

Ye Chui said in a deep voice.

He had vaguely guessed this since he saw the little monkey being taken away two days ago, but now his guess has come true. Monkey brains are an inhumane and cruel way to eat them. Even among the highest-level [meals] in the Manchu Banquet, there is a dish made from monkey brains.

[Meals] The Manchu Banquet is the most precious and delicious food in the world, which is hard to come by. There are bear paws, monkey brains, elephant trunks, etc. Of course, when Ye Chui convened the Manchu Banquet, he did not cook these ingredients directly. Instead, I chose to use other ingredients instead.

In Ye Chui's last life, it was illegal to eat monkey brains, but some big cities can still eat them, and in some other countries, monkey brain meals can be openly placed on the banquet. It is undeniable that Monkey brain is very delicious, but it is completely opposite to Ye Chui's idea of ​​being okay, and it is also a cruel dish that he has always resisted.

He didn't expect that such cruel and dark things would still exist in this world in the era of gourmet food.

When Xing Sen heard Ye Chui's words, his eyes suddenly became serious and stared at Ye Chui: "How do you know about monkey brains?"

"I have seen this ingredient in some recipes." Ye Chui quickly explained, "I am very resistant to this cruel way of cooking." Saying this, Ye Chui glanced worriedly at the extinguishing process in the kitchen. Tian Xiaodu and Han Yuyan of Rat Action continued to ask Xing Sen, "Since this is illegal, can you find a way to rescue that little monkey? Xiao Yu has been very unhappy these two days, and I I'm worried that going on like this will affect her psychologically."

"I'm sorry." However, Xing Sen shook his head directly, and said with some regret, "Jinbing only found out that someone was going to hold a dark banquet, but they didn't have any clues about the host of the banquet, and they wanted to rescue the monkey. , It’s impossible for me alone to wipe out this group of cruel guys.”

"Then whose help do you need?" Ye Chui asked hastily.

"You." Xing Sen pointed at Ye Chui.

"Me?" Ye Chui was taken aback.

Xing Sen nodded, and continued to explain: "Golden Bread has also investigated a very important piece of information, that is, the person hosting the dark banquet is currently recruiting chefs. I hope you can apply for the chef of the dark banquet and participate in this banquet in person. Try to catch all the people participating in the banquet!"

Ye Chui showed a thoughtful expression: "Is this thing dangerous?"

"The danger of being hairy?" Xing Sen smiled, "That group of people just don't pay attention to food, but they are not vicious people themselves, and the danger that I will always be by your side will definitely not be encountered, but... ..." Xing Sen paused, "The chef of this dark banquet requires a certain level of culinary skills, even those who have been expelled from the food association. You have a one-star chef certificate and have been in the limelight recently. Naturally, you are qualified to participate, but besides qualifications, you need to go through an audit, and there will be many chefs competing for banquet positions, and you need to make a dark dish to satisfy the examiners."

"Is this..."

Ye Chui's mind suddenly flashed a lot of dark dishes, what looking up at the starry sky, what chocolate bananas, what deep-fried ice cream, what salmon peeled creamy fried cake...

Although he is absolutely not interested in these delicacies because of Ye Chui's insistence on delicacies, but with his ability, he can basically understand the method of this kind of thing just by looking at it, but...let him do it like a god of food Dark cuisine, it feels too inappropriate.

But for Wang Shiyu's little monkey, he had no choice but to endure it!

So he and Xing Sen nodded with a heavy face: "I should have no problem with this."

"Are you sure?" Xing Sen said with some doubts, "The review of the dark cooking banquet basically has three points. The third important point is delicacy, which is definitely not something that ordinary chefs can do, and the news about the gold cake, the dark banquet chef review will be tomorrow, he can help you get the registration qualifications, but such a short Are you really sure to make enough qualified dark dishes in the time?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Ye Chui nodded confidently, he has always been very confident about his cooking skills.

"Then what are you going to do?" Xing Sen asked immediately.

Ye Chui was about to move out the famous "Looking at the Starry Sky" in his previous life, but at this moment, Han Yuyan's scream came from the kitchen, and the sister ran out of the kitchen in a flash: "Master, I found a mouse again... ...still a nest of mice!"

"Found a mouse again?" Ye Chui couldn't help frowning. The restaurant was closed for two days, and the kitchen was thoroughly checked. Yesterday, a big white cat was invited into the kitchen, and a mouse had already been caught. I live, why do I still have a litter now?

He didn't care to talk to Xing Sen and hurried into the kitchen.

The kitchen utensils in the kitchen are being cleaned, and the cabinets have been moved away. The mouse nest that Han Yuyan mentioned is behind the cabinets. Tian Xiaodu is carefully beating there with a broom, and Ye Chui walks over. When he was about to die, he hurriedly turned his head and said to Ye Chui: "It's a litter of little mice, it looks like they were born only a few days ago."

"Little mouse?" Ye Chui looked quickly, and saw five or six little mice crawling on the ground. He said it was a mouse, more like a small meatball, with no hair all over his body, and his eyes hadn't opened yet. , just born should not be more than three days old.

And seeing these white and tender little mice, a cruel dark dish that has been recorded since the Tang Dynasty suddenly flashed in Ye Chui's mind...

"Tomorrow's dark banquet chef, you can cook that dish!" (~^~)
