Anime cuisine: Starting with glowing dishes

Page 153

"it is good."

Minos responded to Lu Ping'an and turned to walk outside.

Lu Pingan took a dough bowl and a dough bag and started kneading the dough again.

By the time he had mixed the two doughs, the water in the steamer had already boiled.

She ordered the Second Emperor to roll the two kinds of dough into dumpling wrappers in half an hour - Lu Ping'an didn't conscript her, it was the Second Emperor who volunteered to help.

Koji also helped roll out the dumpling wrappers earlier.

This operation is not difficult. Lu Ping'an has already kneaded the dough. They just need to use a rolling pin to roll the proofed dough into thin slices and then turn the bowl upside down on it.

It’s very simple!

"..."

Instructing Minos to carry the small steamer containing the rising dragon dumplings outside, Lu Ping'an called Hao Er, the human-shaped air conditioner, and followed with brisk steps.

Everything is ready, it's time to shock the Japanese people again!

……

Chapter 179 My Shenglong Dumpling is about to wake up!

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was scorching.

The air was bleached by the sun, like an overexposed photograph. In the central square, the queue of people was restless.

“It’s so hot—!”

"It's so hot! It's like attending Summer Comiket!"

The person who was speaking was a otaku. He was well prepared, with a sun hat on his head, a folding fan in his hand, and ice water in his bag.

He is one of the most comfortable people present!

Looking at the young people around him who had nothing in their hands and no covering on their heads, and were completely unprepared, the otaku couldn't help but hold his head high and feel a little proud.

This wave is a victory for the otakus! How rare!

"It's already nine o'clock, why is there no movement up ahead?"

In the crowd, some people kept looking at their watches, paying attention to the time.

Seeing that the clock hand and the pointer had passed nine o'clock, but there was no movement in the team, I couldn't help but get anxious. I stood on tiptoe, raised my head and looked forward, but I looked in vain.

There was a huge crowd of people in front of me. I couldn't see what was going on in the stalls at all, and I didn't even know if anyone came out to the stalls.

Of course people came out, and Minos was already boiling water at the stall - this scene made everyone who saw it excited!

"The water has started to boil!" Some people were overjoyed. They came to line up at around six o'clock, but before seven o'clock. Are they finally going to get to eat?

It’s not easy to get this bite!

"I wonder what Boss Lu will sell today... I heard it's a new product, I'm really looking forward to it!"

The person who was speaking was an old customer. Some of them would call him Boss Lu, while new customers basically called him Cooking Immortal.

"It looks like a steamed delicacy... Boss Lu started his business with this. I used to queue up there as soon as I got off work. I miss it so much!"

The friends who came with me sighed softly, their tone full of nostalgia.

He had hoped that Lu Ping'an would open a restaurant, but he hadn't expected that the restaurant would have to be reserved after it opened. This made it difficult for him to eat the glowing food, which made it difficult for him to stay calm!

"Who isn't!" The friend continued with a nostalgic look on his face. He was also a regular customer back then!

The two of them talked about this topic and came up with a story called "Those Years, the Delicious Food We Chased Together", which attracted a lot of attention.

In the front of the team and in the aisles on both sides——

Ai Li and a group of internet celebrities held up their mobile phones and interacted with their families in the live broadcast room.

The cooking master participated in the food festival. Naturally, he couldn’t miss such a popular event, and many internet celebrities came to the scene.

There was even a TV program crew on standby, specially hired by the authorities for publicity.

CCG investigators, headed by Senior Investigator Hirako Takeshi, are responsible for maintaining public order.

In fact, many ghouls came secretly.

The relationship between CCG and ghouls is very delicate recently——

The ghouls and half-humans, led by Arima Takashi, are much stronger than the CCG, but weaker than humans. The CCG has experienced events such as the collapse of the Wasu clan and the collective rebellion of half-human investigators such as Arima Takashi. Their overall strength is far inferior to that of Arima and his team. Although they can ask for external assistance, it is not something that can be obtained by just talking. There must also be an exchange of interests.

At this time, Arima Takashi proposed the idea of coexistence to the CCG...

The order that Pingzizhang has received so far is that as long as no one is injured, he can turn a blind eye to the matter.

……

"Ohhh! Miss Minos came out with a steamer... Is she going to start steaming?"

"The cooking immortal has also come out!"

"..."

Seeing Minos come out with a stack of steamers and put them on the steamer, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became cheerful.

Then——

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Ping'an.

He hung a small blackboard on the stall with the words "Shenglong dumplings 2000 yen per serving, limited to one serving per person" written on it.

Everyone was suddenly curious——

Is the new product called Shenglong Dumplings? What a strange name, does it have any special meaning? Should it be steamed?

Dumplings in Japan generally refer to pan-fried dumplings; steamed dumplings are only found in Chinese restaurants. Many of the people present had never tried them, and their anticipation grew.

They looked at the steamers again—a wild guess: a serving was a small one? They had no idea how many there were, but they thought 2000 yen was a good deal.

At the same time, on the left aisle—

After Lu Ping'an came out, the female host of Tokyo TV's food program team, Nanako Niino, gave a brief self-introduction to the camera, then brought the camera to Lu Ping'an's stall and interviewed him. The organizer had greeted Lu Ping'an before, and Lu Ping'an tried his best to cooperate with the answers.

As the two of them were asking and answering questions, the aroma of the Shenglong dumplings began to emanate from the bamboo steamer.

"call--!"

Taro Yamada, the gourmet sitting near the front of the line, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the lines on his face gradually softened.

"This tempting sweet smell of seafood, with a hint of freshness from the ocean... There is no doubt that it is the smell of shrimp! And it is fresh live shrimp... Mixed with a hint of oily aroma... The filling must have been mixed with fat, or lard... Add to that the faint aroma of wheat and oatmeal... It smells delicious!" Taro Yamada suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the steaming steamer on the temporary stove with shining eyes.

His words were captured in full by Ai Li's live broadcast room, and a series of comments such as "I have to say it again, I have to say it again" immediately appeared in the room.

There were many drooling expressions, and some people were surprised:

"So Sheng Long dumplings are shrimp dumplings?"

"I see! There's a Chinese restaurant near the office. I want to have shrimp dumplings for lunch... they should have them, right?"

"I envy those who are there..."

"I envy Ellie!"

"I want to eat Ellie! Ellie is so delicious!"

'Um? '

"The one upstairs! Something's wrong with you! Tell me the truth, are you a ghoul?"

'Everyone, report him!'

"..." Ai Li twitched the corner of her mouth as she looked at the comment that suddenly went off topic, but she didn't take it to heart. Her beautiful blue eyes looked at the steamer in front of her.

At the front of the team——

Someone sniffed the increasingly rich and tempting smell, a drooling expression appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but ask Lu Ping'an:

"Um... is it ready? How long will it take?"

"One minute."

Lu Ping'an estimated the time in his mind and answered with a smile.

One minute later——

He placed his hand on the lid of the steamer, facing the camera and the gazes of countless diners, and said with a smile, "So... everyone, please pay attention! My Shenglong dumplings are about to wake up!"

……

Chapter 180 The Eastern Dragon Soars into the Sky!

The words "dumplings" and "awakening" don't go together at all.

Everyone was secretly wondering when they saw Lu Ping'an raise his hand and open the steamer.

Instantly, steam rose like a sea of clouds, and a golden light burst forth from the steamer. A rich, fresh aroma washed over us like a wave, and a strange whooshing sound emanated from within the steamer.

As the heat gradually dissipated into the air, the palm-sized Shenglong dumplings slowly "stood up" because the two layers of dough expanded at different rates when heated, presenting a perfect dragon raising its head posture in the hot steam.

The light is shining and the smoke is swirling, as if it is about to fly away in the clouds in the next second!

This incredible scene left all the witnesses at the scene stunned and even their breathing stopped.

There was silence in front of the stall for a second, and then someone exclaimed:

"Su...Su is awake! Jiaozi seems to be alive. It's incredible!"

"Si Guoyi!"

“Rising Dragon Dumplings… Is this the Rising Dragon Dumplings!?!”

“It actually moved!”

"How did you do that? Why did it move? Did you cast a spell? Cooking Immortal, you cast a spell, didn't you?"

"Oh my God!"

"..."

Nanako Niino stood in front of the stall, her beautiful eyes wide open, her cherry lips slightly open, her jaw almost dropping to the ground in shock.

She had never seen such magical dumplings before, which completely refreshed her understanding of dumplings!

“How…how did you do that!?”

As a professional female host, she was so shocked that she couldn't even speak coherently. After asking, Nanako Xinye handed the microphone to Lu Pingan, and her beautiful brown eyes looked at him without blinking, waiting for his answer.

"It's very simple."

Lu Ping'an had a calm smile on his face, as if he was talking about today's weather, and spoke clearly: "I just used the principle of thermal expansion and contraction."

"……ha!?"

'What did you say?'

Not to mention Nanako Niino, everyone present was stunned.

"Thermal expansion and contraction? That thing from junior high physics textbook?"

"What does the movement of dumplings have to do with thermal expansion and contraction?"

"Are you sure it's thermal expansion and contraction, not magic?"

"I'm so suspicious!"

Ai Li's live broadcast room.

Netizens from all over the country were frantically posting comments and making comments.

'I don't understand. I feel like my brain is not enough. Is there anyone who can explain it to me?'

'It's so simple!'

"It's so simple! I was completely stunned!"
