The Hyperdimensional Express Train takes you across the universe

“Chef Liu, please give me some pointers on my shortcomings in Chinese cuisine.”

Their sincere tone and respectful attitude were countless times better than those of the previous group of people.

"Chinese cuisine? Are you also studying Chinese cuisine?"

Liu Maoxing looked at Kuga Teruki and said with some surprise on his face.

Since coming to the Shokugeki World, Kuga Teruki is the first chef he has seen who studies Chinese cuisine. Before, he thought that there were no students at Totsuki Academy who studied Chinese cuisine.

"That's right, but although I studied Chinese cuisine, I didn't have anyone to guide me, so I went astray."

Kuga Teruki said.

"That's it"

Liu Maoxing thought back to the old men in his own world. They all kept their skills secret and would not teach anyone except the successors they recognized.

I think the situation in this world is similar.

"So what cuisine are you good at?"

Liu Maoxing asked. Although Liu Maoxing had dabbled in all the major Chinese cuisines, he always had his strengths and weaknesses.

Hearing this, the corners of Kuga Teruki's mouth curled up.

"Like you, I specialize in Sichuan cuisine, and my specialty is Mapo Tofu."

Speaking of this, a hint of complacency appeared on Kuga Teruki's face. His recipe for Mapo Tofu was entirely discovered by himself.

With his Mapo Tofu, he has captured the hearts of countless diners and gourmets.

When Liu Maoxing heard Kuga Teruki's answer, his eyes lit up.

"Sichuan cuisine? Mapo Tofu? What a coincidence! Sichuan cuisine is also my specialty, and Mapo Tofu is also the dish I cook the most."

Liu Maoxing's words immediately excited Kuga Teruki.

"Then Chef Liu, how about I make a dish of Mapo Tofu for you to try? I also ask you to give me some pointers on my shortcomings after you try it."

After saying that, Kuga Teruki looked at Liu Maoxing with expectation and pleading on his face.

Erina Nakiri also stood up.

"Chef Liu, please give this senior some pointers. He learned Chinese cuisine entirely on his own, and he really wants to get guidance from a master."

Hearing what Erina Nakiri said, Teruki Kuga gave her a grateful look.

Liu Maoxing, who was sitting on the sofa, scratched the back of his head when he heard this.

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to your mapo tofu."

Hearing Liu Maoxing's answer, Kuga Teruki took a deep breath and then rushed to the kitchen.

He has been waiting for this opportunity for who knows how long.

Rushing into the kitchen, Teruki Kuga carefully selected the highest-grade ingredients he could identify, and then with the utmost concentration, he completed what he believed to be the most perfect dish.

When Teruki Kuga brought the mapo tofu he made himself into the lounge, the fragrance instantly filled the entire room.

Almost everyone was attracted by the fragrance.

Some people even couldn't help drooling at the corners of their mouths.

Akane Kubo Momo, who was standing by, was a little shocked by the focused look on Kuga Teruki's face.

Judging from the aroma alone, the other party's cooking skills were beyond her expectations.

"It seems that Tsukasa still has a profound influence on Kuga."

Thinking of this, Akane Kubo Momo subconsciously glanced at Si Yingshi next to her.

Once, when Teruki Kuga was still a first-year student at the Momiji Kari, Tsukasa Tsukasa and Teruki Kuga had a food battle. Needless to say, Teruki Kuga was defeated miserably.

From then on, it was no secret among the Ten Heroes that Si Yingshi was the target that Kuga Teruki wanted to defeat.

However, she didn't expect that Kuga Teruki's cooking skills would improve so quickly.

"Please try Mapo Tofu"

Placing the plate in front of Liu Maoxing, Kuga Teruki waited nervously for Liu Maoxing's comments.

However, when presenting the dishes, Kuga Teruki saw that Liu Maoxing had been frowning. He was still wondering if something had happened here when he was cooking before.

"How can I describe your Mapo Tofu? It's a bit off the beaten path."

Without tasting it, Liu Maoxing gave his evaluation directly.

"Mapo tofu is generally about the integration of multiple flavors: numbness, spiciness, color, fragrance, and hotness. These five flavors are the most basic, and they go hand in hand and complement each other to achieve the best results."

"But your Mapo Tofu, apart from anything else, the numbness and spiciness alone completely overshadow everything else."

"I guess after tasting your dish, the diners will only remember these two flavors, right?"

Liu Maoxing looked at Kuga Teruki, whose expression became increasingly shocked, and pointed out the most basic mistake in his Mapo Tofu.

Kuga Teruki stared at Liu Maoxing blankly, because his evaluation was completely correct. Diners and gourmets who had tasted his Mapo Tofu and recalled his Mapo Tofu afterwards were really impressed by only the numbness and spiciness of the flavors.

"Also, your pursuit of spices for this Mapo Tofu is a bit excessive. You used nine kinds of Sichuan peppercorns and four kinds of chili peppers. Although you managed to balance them, this way, the dish can't be taken to the next level."

4.6 “Why do we have to focus on spices to make a dish stand out?”

Liu Maoxing's comments, this time, not only Kuga Teruki, but even Akane Kubo Momo were stunned.

"You haven't tasted it yet, so how do you know I used nine kinds of peppercorns?"

Kuga Teruki asked in disbelief.

Before Liu Maoxing could answer, Xiaolin Longdan beside him spoke first:

"Amu is a super chef with super taste, super smell, super touch, super hearing, and super vision."

"In our world, it's someone who possesses the hearing, sight, smell, touch, and tongue of a god."

"Therefore, he can tell exactly how your dishes are cooked just by smelling them."

Chapter 137 Liu Maoxing's Mapo Tofu, the shocking combination of six flavors

Kobayashi Rindou's words made Kuga Teru and Akane Kubo Momo, who were hearing about this for the first time, open their mouths wide.

They subconsciously looked at Erina Nakiri who possessed the divine tongue.

A divine tongue has made Erina Nakiri famous at a young age, and her cooking skills have improved with much less effort. They can hardly imagine how extraordinary it would be for someone to possess all five senses of God.

Looking at the shocked expressions of Kuga Teruki and Akane Kubo Momo, Kobayashi Ryodan felt relieved.

When she first learned the news, her expression was similar to theirs.

On the other side, seeing that Kobayashi Ryodan had told his story, Liu Maoxing did not say anything, but picked up the spoon on the table and prepared to taste Kuga Teruki's mapo tofu.

Although he has super five senses and can understand everything just by smelling it, he still wants to taste it with his own mouth.

The steaming hot Mapo Tofu was put into the mouth, and the strong spicy and numb taste swept over. Just as Liu Maoxing expected, the spicy and numb tastes completely dominated the mind, leaving only these two tastes in the minds of those who tasted it.

09After finishing the tasting, Liu Maoxing stood up and was about to leave the restaurant.

At this time, Teruki Kuga became anxious.

"Chef Liu, you haven't told me what to do in the future."

Hearing what Kuga Teruki said, Liu Maoxing turned his head and smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the kitchen and make some Mapo Tofu first. That way, it will be clearer when I explain it to you, right?"

After saying that, Liu Maoxing left the lounge and went straight to the kitchen where Kuga Teruki had been cooking before.

The people in the lounge looked at each other and followed.

“I can finally see Chef Liu show off his cooking skills again.”

"In order to help us improve, we usually prepare the food for meals so that Amu can taste it and comment on it. Although this is very helpful for our improvement, it is a pity that we can't eat Amu's cooking often."

"Now that Mr. Alu and Mr. Xiaosong leave, Chef Liu will also be leaving, right?"

"Yes, now that we have so few opportunities to taste Chef Liu's cooking,

As they walked, everyone talked about it.

Soon, the group arrived at the kitchen. Liu Maoxing went to the refrigerator, opened it, and selected some necessary ingredients from it.

Coming to the kitchen counter and picking up the kitchen knife, Liu Maoxing focused his attention on the food at hand.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Liu Maoxing demonstrated his knife skills, heat control, and seasoning one by one. The smooth and artistic cooking process made everyone intoxicated.

It was not until Liu Maoxing's Mapo Tofu was taken out of the pot and served on a plate that everyone came to their senses.

"Please enjoy the magical mapo tofu"

After pushing a dish of brightly colored and fragrant Mapo Tofu in front of everyone, Liu Maoxing spoke again.

"Is this the end?"

Kuga Teruki came back to his senses, looked at Liu Maoxing, recalled his previous cooking process, and said with a little reluctance in his tone.

If possible, he really wanted Liu Maoxing to repeat the previous cooking process several times, because those processes were too gorgeous in his eyes.

Just as Kuga Teruki was still in a daze, recalling the previous scene, Kobayashi Ryodan, who was standing beside him, slapped him on the back, causing him to stagger.

"Don't dwell on the past. Go and try Amu's Mapo Tofu. It was made especially for you."

After hearing what Kobayashi Ryodan said, Kuga Teruki came back to his senses. He immediately stepped forward with an expression like a pilgrim.

Looking at the color of the Mapo Tofu on the plate in front of him and smelling the fragrance in the air, although he has not really tasted it yet, Liu Maoxing's Mapo Tofu has already left a mark in Kuga Teruki's mind.

"Then I'm not welcome."

Pick up the spoon, scoop up a spoonful of mapo tofu and put it into your mouth.

"Well……"

Endless deliciousness washed freely in Kuga Teruki's mouth. Various flavors gathered together, but no one was too prominent. All the flavors blended together and complemented each other, pushing the deliciousness of this magical Mapo Tofu to another peak.

And more importantly, in addition to the five basic flavors of Mapo Tofu, Teruki Kuga also discovered a new flavor in this Mapo Tofu.

“This is crispy!”

Kuga Teruki widened his eyes. This new taste was sudden, but just right.

Because of this crispy taste, the taste of Mapo Tofu becomes richer.

"I see. The breakthrough for Mapo 560 Tofu isn't just in the spices. Going from the basic five to six is ​​a breakthrough. If that's the case, why can't there be more?"

"And who says the sixth flavor can only be butter?"

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to Kuga Teruki's mind. He wanted to start researching his own sixth flavor immediately so that his mapo tofu recipe could be upgraded.

The deliciousness in front of him made him unable to control his body at all.

And he still had many things he wanted to ask Liu Maoxing.

If before, Kuga Teruki still had some doubts about Liu Maoxing, then after tasting this Mapo Tofu, there was only admiration in his mind.

At this time, Kuga Teruki also had the idea in his mind that he must follow Liu Maoxing to learn cooking skills no matter what.

He didn't seek to become Liu Maoxing's apprentice, as long as he could follow Liu Maoxing and learn some basic knowledge.

He knew very well that a simple instruction from a master like Liu Maoxing could be enough to match the months, or even years, of his own hard work in Yuanyue.

Chapter 138: Tsuchima Yui's strength has increased, and the news of the Hyperdimensional Train departing again

After giving advice on the issue of Mapo Tofu, Liu Maoxing also gave Kuga Teruki some advice on Sichuan cuisine. Although this knowledge was nothing to Liu Maoxing, it was like a treasure to Kuga Teruki.

After receiving the guidance, Teruki Kuga felt satisfied immediately, which made Akane Kubo Momo beside him a little jealous.

So she also asked Liu Maoxing to teach her cooking skills.

However, compared to Teruki Kuga's Sichuan cuisine and Momo Akane Kubo's desserts, Liu Maoxing's guidance is limited.

But even so, Akane Kubo Momo still reaped a lot of rewards.

While Liu Maoxing was instructing Kuga Teruki and the others, on the other side, Komatsu was also instructing Yukihira Seiichiro and the others.
