People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Huang Quanyue Luna and Ahua quickly checked their dishes. There were several slices of white truffle on the Wellington steak and seafood risotto. Huang Quanyue Luna's eyes lit up and she said, "Wow! It really is white truffle!"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Alright, don't be surprised. This isn't anything special to me. Since it's a reward, it can't be too ordinary. Qi Luoli, what would you like to drink?"

Kirari rolled her eyes and said, "You've already used truffles, so what else can I say? Of course, it's wine. Wine is truffles' best friend."

Bai Yu nodded and smiled, saying, "LeFleur's baijiu?"

"You really understand me. Let me put some ice on you."

"nature."

Chapter 624 Humans are machines driven by desire (Please subscribe~)

Truffles have been a very precious ingredient since ancient times, whether they are black or white. When it comes to rare ingredients, truffles are always the first thing that comes to mind.

Many people think of truffles as just mushrooms, but the only connection between them and mushrooms is that they are both fungi; otherwise, they are unrelated.

Truffles are divided into black truffles and white truffles. Although they may sound like just a difference in color, they are actually worlds apart. White truffles are so rare that they can only be described as treasures.

Both of these have very strict requirements for sunlight, humidity, and soil. The difference is that black truffles can retain a rich aroma after they are harvested, while the aroma of white truffles will completely dissipate in just three days.

The production of white truffles is extremely limited, even pitifully so. Top-quality white truffles can be auctioned off, fetching tens of thousands of US dollars for just over three pounds.

"The relationship between black truffles and white truffles is like that between apples and pears." Black truffles have a rich aroma, and even a small amount can release their fragrance. Some people describe their aroma as a combination of mushrooms, garlic, honey, yeast, and cinnamon, so you can imagine how strong the flavor is. White truffles, on the other hand, are more subtle, with aromas of mushrooms, cheese, honey, wet straw, and garlic.

Moreover, because cooking will alter its flavor, white truffles must be eaten raw. The proper way to eat them is to use a professional knife to shave them into thin slices and sprinkle them on dishes or eat them directly. Only by shaving and eating them immediately can you taste the natural and mysterious aroma of white truffles.

White truffles should not be heated or chewed in large bites. They are more like a spice, sweet and delicious, with a strong flavor like garlic. Therefore, it is recommended to use a professional knife to shave them into very thin slices and eat them immediately. Sprinkle a little bit of the shavings on ordinary dishes each time.

This shows how terrifying white truffles are. Even a tiny slice is too small to be used in cooking, yet that tiny amount can have a magical effect, transforming the flavor of a dish and elevating it to a whole new level.

As for black truffles, they have a gasoline aroma mixed with some garlic and rotten egg smells, a hint of fermented wetland leaves, and a touch of yeast and honey.

However, white truffles are definitely more expensive than black truffles, and fully mature, intact black truffles are not much cheaper than white truffles. Moreover, the most important thing about them is probably their mystery.

White truffles prefer alkaline, calcareous soil that is loose, well-drained, and well-aerated. They need rainwater during their summer growing season, but not too much, because truffles cannot produce the carbohydrates they need for growth through photosynthesis. Therefore, they must live in symbiosis with the roots of oak trees, using the roots to absorb nutrients. As a result, truffles generally grow in thickets.

Black truffles are even more demanding in terms of growing environment. To date, scientists have not figured out how to cultivate them on a large scale. This is one of the few delicacies in the world that cannot be cultivated in a uniform and orderly manner. In the same forest, truffles grow under one tree, but there is nothing under a tree that looks similar next to it.

So, while white truffles look very precious, their production is too low. Their aroma and fragrance enhancement effects are too strong, and they lose all their flavor in just three days. Black truffles have a higher production volume, their aroma is not as appealing, but their fragrance enhancement effects are also very strong, and they are relatively easier to preserve. However, the growing conditions for black truffles are even more demanding than for white truffles.

The addition of white truffles to foie gras, which is already very tender, elevates its flavor even further. White truffles cannot be heated, but they can enhance and transform the flavor of any dish, even if you just cook a bowl of noodles and toss it with soy sauce.

Kirari breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hmm, as expected of white truffles, the aroma-enhancing effect has elevated the already delicious foie gras to a whole new level."

Yumeko Jabami nodded in agreement. Filet mignon wasn't exactly a very expensive steak, but its taste was undeniable. The rich flavor of each bite, the sensation of the juices compressing and chewing between the taste buds and teeth, was wonderful.

Huang Quanyue Luna said with some surprise, "This is the most delicious Wellington steak I've ever eaten, the Yorkshire pudding is also perfectly made, and the white truffle adds a wonderful aroma. This is fantastic."

Ahua, unusually, did not object, and she also enjoyed the food very much. Generally speaking, white truffles taste much better than black truffles. The best companion for white truffles is not food, but wine. White truffles can exist without wine, but white truffles absolutely cannot exist without wine.

Black truffles are usually paired with full-bodied and smooth red wines, while white truffles are too precious and have a more fragrant flavor, so white wine is the best choice.

After taking a sip, Yumeko Jabami sighed and said, "This is really a difficult question for me. The best choice for white truffles is white wine, but there's also black truffle fried rice. Hmm... what a dilemma."

Kirari smiled and said, "Is it a difficult choice? Do you know what Shiraha would say?"

"Ok?"

"He wants them all..."

Jabami Yumeko gave a meaningful smile and said, "So, it turns out that Mr. Shiraha is also a greedy man."

"Humans are greedy creatures. If they are not greedy, others will take away what was originally unclaimed. If they are not greedy, they cannot satisfy themselves. Humans are a sophisticated machine, and desire is the central control, the soul that drives the body."

"If you're not greedy, greedy people will take more and more from you, until they finally reach out to you. Like many people would say, 'Who thinks they have more money?' or something like that..."

Yumeko Jabami smiled and said, "Yes! Humans are a collection of all kinds of desires! President, what are your thoughts now?"

"Me? I've said it before, I'm not my own person, I don't have the right to decide for myself... But this feeling is really quite interesting."

"Really? That sounds like an interesting feeling."

"Then let's come and see the abyss for ourselves."

Jabami Yumeko smiled but didn't say anything. Kirari and the other girl didn't look at each other the whole time, but the atmosphere made Yomizuki Luna so nervous that she couldn't even eat. What was going on?

"Oh my, this borscht is so delicious!"

Chapter 625 The New Generation Master of Imagination, Genos (Please Subscribe~)

Borscht is basically just beef stew with beets. It's such a simple dish, yet many people confuse it with borscht.

Actually, these two are completely different. Although both borscht and beetroot soup are made from beets, borscht is more in line with global tastes than beetroot soup.

Borscht is mostly made with beets as the main ingredient, and often includes potatoes, carrots, spinach, beef chunks, and cream, which gives it a purplish-red color.

In some places, tomatoes are used as the main ingredient and beets are used as a side ingredient. There are also orange borscht and green borscht made with tomato sauce instead of beets, which is a big difference from borscht.

There's a saying that borscht without beets isn't borscht. It might seem like a truism, but if you compare it to borscht, you'll see why. Borscht can be made with other ingredients instead of beets, and beets are the main ingredient, after all.

Borscht perfectly demonstrates the inherent characteristics of soup: it's easy to improve. Indeed, there are countless ways to improve it. Even the main ingredient, beets, can be replaced. What can't be replaced?

Onions can be paired with almost 85% of foods, and potatoes even more so. In addition, beef, the most versatile meat, can also be included here. There are just too many things that can be paired with them.

Cabbage is fine, celery is fine, dried chili peppers are fine, even soy sauce, butter, herbs, cream, black pepper, and so on can all be used here. Just for beef, there are brisket, beef shank, beef tendon, and so many other substitutes.

It is precisely because of these infinite possibilities that borscht can taste so varied. It can be sweet and sour, sweet and rich, sour and spicy, sweet and spicy, or sour and refreshing, and so on and so forth.

However, beef, as one of the main ingredients, appears exceptionally noble under the influence of this flavor, as its taste determines the overall flavor and texture of the dish.

Russian borscht is spicy and sour, with the sourness outweighing the sweetness, which is not used to by Chinese people. Later, due to the sourcing of ingredients and the influence of local tastes, it gradually developed into a unique Shanghai-style borscht with a sweet and sour taste, a fragrant sweetness, a rich but not greasy flavor, and a smooth and refreshing texture.

However, despite all that, the sweet and sour flavor has a unique characteristic: it can tenderize the meat. That's right, the beef in this borscht is so tender that you can feel it with just a touch. It's so smooth and tender that you can feel it just by looking at it.

With a sweet and sour flavor, a fragrant aroma, rich yet not greasy, and a smooth and refreshing taste, every bite is a delightful combination of sweet and sour, tender and soft. It's a kind of enjoyable experience that makes you reluctant to put your spoon down once you pick it up.

Yumeko Jabami was enjoying her meal immensely and showed no sign of stopping. The refreshing yet sweet flavor was irresistible to her.

Kirari and the others were having a great time eating. Anyone who didn't know them would think they were friends. However, these four people belonged to three different factions, although one of them was someone who might switch sides at any time.

Kyoko Yuuki witnessed the whole thing and could tell that Shiraha was exceptionally wealthy. She wasn't naive enough to think it was the women's money; they all lived there, and if he were really living off women, they would have already started fighting.

Kyoko Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Ashina, I'm going to the restroom."

"it is good."

Kyoko Yuuki did need to use the restroom, but when she entered, she paused for a moment, as if the restroom was surprisingly luxurious.

"I really can't understand it..."

Kyoko Yuuki glanced at the toilet and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the toilet wasn't made of gold. If it really was, she wouldn't know what to say.

When she came out to wash her hands, Kyoko Yuuki suddenly froze. She seemed to have seen something incredible.

Kyoko Yuuki compared the bracelet on her wrist with the washbasin, and then her lips twitched. A whole piece of beautiful jade, used as a washbasin?! But she soon discovered the terrifying fact that the washbasin seemed to be made of crystal.

When Kyoko Yuuki came out, she still looked bewildered. Who was she? Where was she? It seemed like money wasn't worth much anymore. Was it just her imagination?

However, she soon noticed the dish on Saitama and Genos's table on the other side, where Genos looked completely incredulous.

Genos exclaimed in astonishment, "Teacher! Who...who is this shop manager?! How can he make even a simple dish like pork ribs and shrimp taste so delicious?!"

Saitama chuckled sheepishly and said, "Bai Yu is a great guy, very suitable to be friends with. However, I've heard that he's a fighter, probably a martial artist or something similar. He must be very strong. I'd like to have a match with him sometime."

"Wow! That's really something. A chef who's also a fighter, what an amazing man. No wonder he's a friend of the teacher, he's truly remarkable."

Genos's idea is simple: birds of a feather flock together. So, in his impression, Saitama is the strongest. Therefore, Genos believes that anyone who can become friends with Saitama must be extremely powerful in some field.

Saitama scratched his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Bai Yu... Bai Yu seems to be very good at dating girls, he has a lot of girlfriends."

Genos was taken aback for a moment before nodding. He was somewhat curious about Bai Yu because his information included fighters, all of whom were legendary muscular men, and none of them looked like Bai Yu, who even appeared somewhat thin.

Genos thought of Saitama. Saitama didn't look like a muscular giant or a strong man, but he had witnessed Saitama's strength, which was truly terrifying.

"No wonder he's the teacher's friend! That's amazing!"

Saitama was taken aback. He didn't understand why Genos would suddenly say something like that, but as long as it wasn't anything rude, it was fine.

Saitama didn't intend to study that much; it was better to eat first. Although he felt that his apprentice was strange and completely incomprehensible, often suddenly falling silent (imagine it) and then suddenly saying strange things (imagine a thrilling scene).

Kyoko Yuuki was taken aback; she seemed to have heard the word "fighting arena"...

Chapter 626 This is a sad story, Yuuko: I'm growing (Please subscribe~)

Their family is considered quite powerful, and their company is also a strong player in the industry. Although they are not qualified to join the Kengan Association, they do have some understanding of it and are familiar with fighters.

Kyoko Yuuki never imagined that Shiraha would have the identity of a fighter. Kyoko Yuuki now has many thoughts, one of which is to resolutely oppose her husband's choice of the highly regarded Sugo Nobuyuki.

Asuna looked at her mother, who had come out of the bathroom and remained silent, with a puzzled expression. What had happened? Was there Sadako in the bathroom? Why was she acting like this?

While he was pondering, Yuko Ichihara at the other table finally finished eating. Lucifer said irritably, "Where did you eat all that? There aren't many people who can match your appetite."

Everyone nodded. Even Riven sometimes got caught up by Ichihara Yuuko. This woman was terrifying. Ichihara Yuuko tilted her head and said, "Can't I grow up?"

Nami's lips twitched slightly as she said, "Yuko... I personally feel that you don't need to grow any taller. You'll be too tall if you grow any taller!"

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and nodded before standing up. She looked down and couldn't see her toes, then turned around and looked again, unable to see her heels. Yuko Ichihara smiled and said, "It proves that eating more is good for your figure."

Everyone fell silent. Pandemonica asked with a puzzled look, "Is there any necessary connection?"

Yuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "Pand P ...

Pandemonica stood up in surprise. Ichihara Yuko grinned mischievously and said, "Look down and see what you can see?"

Pandemonica paused, looked down at the instep, tilted her head, and said, "The instep."

Yuko Ichihara didn't say anything, she just smiled. Monica Pander was stunned for a moment, then her eyes twitched. Everyone else realized what was going on. Yuko Ichihara had a very perfect figure, you could say it was a perfect S-shape, while Pander's figure was vertical.

Pandemonica turned her head to look before saying softly, "At least I can't see his heels."

Yuko Ichihara smiled and nodded. Lucifer and the others also tried it, and were surprised to find that, apart from Riven, who could see a little bit of her toes, no one else could see the instep or heel. Even Justice couldn't see it.

Pandemonica pushed up her glasses and said softly, "A boring competition."

Lucifer sighed and said, "Pander, try to think more positively. At least you still have the garden to keep you company, and... um... have you noticed that we've all been drinking?"

Pandemonica paused for a moment, then realized that it seemed to be true; even Nami drank alcohol. Pandemonica said softly, "I'll choose coffee."

Yuko Ichihara and the others silently gave a thumbs up. Goodness, this is a true warrior, going all the way down a path. But then they thought about it and realized that it would be strange if Pander had a build like theirs.

However, only Pandemonica knows exactly what she was thinking; she personally plans to try papaya milk tea in the future.

Lucifer glanced at Yuko Ichihara, thought for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered something. Yuko Ichihara blushed and said, "Why are you saying this?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm not trying to scam you, we're like family."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "Of course I like it, I definitely like it."

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Want some strategic help?"

Yuuko Ichihara said warily, "I have a feeling you're trying to set me up, but I don't have any evidence yet. How are you going to help me? Wait... why would I need help?"

"Well... only the coward knows."

Yuko Ichihara's lips twitched. She was really sorry for being a coward. At this point, Yuko Ichihara suddenly became a little nervous and whispered, "So what are you going to do?"

"Well... it's best if you don't know. I'll give you some interesting help. Of course... there's also Gentian. That girl is much more proactive than you. Let me see... she's been talking to me about it for almost a month."

"Okay, okay... I understand... but why am I a little nervous?"

"How can you be so useless? You're the only one who persisted in rebelling even after your rebellion failed and you were absorbed into the enemy ranks."

Yuko Ichihara's lips twitched. At first glance, these words seemed a bit problematic, but upon closer listening, they were quite problematic. Were they saying she was useless, or that she didn't learn her lesson, or that she lacked the backbone to be recruited?

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "Um... Lucifer, I think what you said is a bit ambiguous."

"Huh? You're overthinking it. I didn't say you were amazing."

"Oh... um?!"

In the kitchen, Erina and the others looked at the fresh bluefin tuna in front of them with surprise and anticipation. This was truly an ingredient more precious than gold.

Alice, wearing gloves, poked the fish and exclaimed, "What a fresh bluefin tuna! This one must be worth hundreds of millions of yen!"

Momoko Akane nodded and said in a deep voice, "This is what sashimi looks like. If it were a whole fish, it wouldn't be something that everyone can afford."
