People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

It's an irresistible flavor. Although it looks like it has both fat and lean meat, once you taste it, you'll find that it's fatty but not greasy, which is tailor-made for this dish. The fatty parts are soft and elastic, while the lean parts are chewy and tender.

One bite, and just like I said before, it's incredibly fragrant, exceptionally fragrant. There's no need to worry about whether you prefer fatty or lean meat in this dish, because it wouldn't be twice-cooked pork if you ate it on its own.

Eat it all in one bite, forget everything else. From the moment you encounter twice-cooked pork, you can't control your calorie intake. Just eat it! With its perfect balance of lean and fat, bright red color, and other side dishes, there's no reason not to love it.

Twice-cooked pork isn't as complicated as other dishes, and Sichuan cuisine isn't that complicated either. Just eat it. Don't worry about what amazing flavors or stimulating tastes you find. That's how it should be.

Twice-cooked pork is different from other Sichuan dishes. It is not very spicy, nor does it have a numbing sensation. The entire flavor of the dish is concentrated in one word: aroma. The aroma of the dish, the aroma of the pork slices, and the aroma of the garlic sprouts.

No matter what I eat, it's always a pleasant surprise. I pick up a slice of meat at random, and it trembles slightly under the light, emitting a fragrant aroma and warmth. The red meat slice trembles a couple of times, and paired with fragrant rice, this is definitely the right choice.

It's fatty but not greasy, savory and fragrant, spicy but not numbing, with a sweet aftertaste. One bite and your mouth is filled with fragrance. It's not the most appetizing, but it's definitely the best choice to eat with rice. When you eat twice-cooked pork with its bright red color and rich aroma, just be careful not to bite your tongue and swallow it.

A good dish is one that whets the appetite and makes people feel delicious and satisfied when eating it. Humans are visual creatures, whether it's people or food.

When you see a dish with appealing colors, a beautiful appearance, and a fragrant aroma, and when you see a dish beautifully presented, it's undeniable that most people would choose to try it first.

Whether it's twice-cooked pork or spicy chicken, both dishes work the same way: first, they whet your appetite with their aroma, and then, whether it's pork or chicken, they make you crave them with their wonderful texture and amazing flavor.

When it comes to the most popular Sichuan cuisine, it undoubtedly deserves the title, because it's the kind of delicious food that will make you sweat while you hold onto your rice bowl, stimulating your already excited taste buds with every bite.

At this moment, Hori Kyoko and the others were in this state. I had beads of sweat on my forehead, and my face was slightly red from the spiciness, but I still kept eating.

The specks of red oil clinging to the white rice are perfectly fine. If you were to ask what color should appear on white rice, then besides the black of black sesame seeds, it would most likely be this tempting red.

I don't know if it was because of the heat or the spiciness, but I picked up a still-cold drink and gulped it down. I didn't care about my image. After all, I was the one who was tasting and enjoying this flavor. I just drank and ate heartily, greedily indulging in the delicious food in front of me.

This combination of fragrance and spiciness is a deliciousness and magic that only those who have tasted it can understand. It is a deliciousness that makes you greedily savor it even when your tongue is almost numb, and a deliciousness that makes you keep eating even when your lips are slightly numb and turn crimson.

Bai Yu thoughtfully placed a pack of tissues there when they started eating, and it proved to be an excellent idea. The tissues were perfect for wiping away snot from the spiciness, sweat from their foreheads, and grease from their mouths.

A family meal together should be a lively and chatty affair, but if you can't stop talking, what's there to talk about? Just eat, and the atmosphere will naturally develop.

"Whew~ That feels great!"

I don't know if Kyosuke ate the Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers together. Although it wasn't spicy, the taste of the Sichuan peppercorns was still not very palatable. He just picked up the beer next to him and gulped it down.

Once their tongues cooled down, and their bodies cooled down, perhaps only then could they have a proper conversation. Hori Kyosuke chuckled as he watched Hori Kyoko and Yuriko holding a piece of paper and wiping their noses from time to time.

Whether it was because Sota was full or because he was too spicy, one of the four people present finally turned their attention to a green figure on the side.

"Wow! Oh my god! Mom! Dad! This winter melon soup tastes so good!"

Hearing this, the three of them turned their attention to the dish in front of them, which used a winter melon as a soup bowl. The words piqued their interest, and each of them scooped a spoonful. After eating so much spicy and fragrant food, it was always good to eat something light.

Compared to the other two dishes, this one is less visually striking and less stimulating in taste. After eating the first two, you might subconsciously feel that this one is much worse than the other two, and you might think you can just take a sip and continue eating. But after taking one bite, you will apologize for your thoughts and realize how wrong you were.

Winter melon soup looks like an ordinary vegetable soup served in a winter melon bowl, without any particularly enticing features. But like chawanmushi, when you see it, you feel like you've struck gold.

Winter melon soup is a perfect vegetarian dish that strict vegetarians should not miss. Just like rice bowls and bibimbap, the most intuitive impression you get from the various ingredients gathered together is probably this. This characteristic is that it is not a soup, but it is the most inclusive one that can be best reflected in soup.

Embracing all ingredients, all flavors, and all textures—that's the magic of soup, and also the magic of winter melon soup. As it simmers slowly, the winter melon melts in your mouth, releasing a delightful aroma. Because it needs to be soaked in cold water halfway through cooking, the winter melon itself retains a bit of firmness. Although it might resist for a moment, it still can't escape the characteristic of melting in your mouth.

The ingredients are plentiful and the taste is fresh and delicious. It is absolutely right to describe winter melon soup with these ingredients. The versatile shiitake mushrooms, the crisp and refreshing bamboo shoots, the sweet and glutinous yam, the soft and delicious lotus seeds, and so on, can all be described as delicious.

As mentioned above, winter melon soup looks like a completely vegetarian vegetable soup, and you're right, it is indeed very simple. The soup only needs a little bit of MSG, a little bit of salt, clear broth and cooked soybean oil, and that's it. It's that simple.

But this simple dish can bring an exceptionally delicious flavor. The most amazing thing about eating winter melon soup is that you have no idea whether it is the ingredients that are fresh and delicious or the soup that is delicious and smooth. You don't know, but that doesn't matter, because for diners, just enjoy it.

For those who enjoy spicy and oily food, you might find it fragrant but not greasy, like twice-cooked pork, or spicy, salty, and savory with a sweet aftertaste, like spicy chicken, without feeling annoyed. But when you take a sip of winter melon soup, you'll understand that spiciness is always spiciness, and oil is always oil.

A delicious and refreshing winter melon soup is the best antidote to this greasiness and irritation. After one bowl, all the anger in your body is extinguished, and your taste buds calm down again.

When you've eaten something heavy on oil and spice, try a bowl of winter melon soup. Its refreshing taste won't disappoint you. One bite, and it's like a bowl of cool tea on a hot summer day.

Yuriko and her two daughters ate and drank, their faces beaming with delight. They chatted about their everyday anecdotes as they calmed down, with Sota occasionally showing off his own talents. They were all enjoying themselves immensely. Hori Kyosuke watched quietly from the side. This was probably the best scene every man strives to see.

A man grows up three times in his life: when he becomes a man, when he becomes a husband, and when he becomes a father. This growth is called responsibility.

Seeing the family so happy and harmonious, this is probably what every man, and everyone, wants to see most. Dinner should be this lively, with the whole family together.

"Kyosuke/Husband/Daddy!"

"Ok!"

P.S.: Wishing you all the best as you strive for this! New guests are arriving soon, and clues will be released shortly.

Chapter 153 There's Always a Sweetness That Touches the Soul (Please Subscribe~)

When the last bowl of winter melon soup was finished, the spicy and savory chicken, the fragrant but not greasy, and the twice-cooked pork that I had eaten before were like a beautiful memory. All the tastes on my tongue were washed away by the deliciousness, leaving only a fiery feeling that was etched in my heart.

Sota rubbed his stomach, slumped in his chair like a lazy bum, and said, "Big brother's cooking is still as delicious as ever!"

Kyoko Hori nodded with a smile, while Yuriko, resting her chin on her hand, said with a beaming smile, "Hmm~ He's really an amazing guy~ He's so young and his cooking is already so delicious~ Right, honey~"

Kyosuke Hori glanced at the spot where Shiraha had disappeared, and said with a smile, "Hmm, a very good man, just like me, he's husband material! Haha~ Haha~"

Hearing this, Kyoko Hori's lips twitched, and Sota looked at Kyosuke Hori with a blank expression. Could his father really be this narcissistic? Yuriko also slightly opened her eyes and said, "Honey, where does your confidence come from?"

"Huh?! Did I do something wrong?"

As soon as Hori Kyosuke asked the question, everyone, including Yuriko, shook their heads. Hori Kyosuke's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. It was no use saying anything now.

Yuriko smiled and said, "But you're right about one thing, honey: Mr. Shiraha is definitely husband and father material, isn't he, Kyoko?"

While replying to messages from Hinami Aoi and the others, Hori Kyoko, with a straw in her mouth, thought for a moment and said, "Hmm? Hmm~ Manager Shiraha is indeed a good man."

"Right~"

"Huh?! Mom! Why are you asking me this?! I've never even been in a relationship! How would I know about this 'skipping the dating stage' thing?!"

Yuriko turned to look at Hori Kyosuke. The couple exchanged knowing glances, watching their daughter blush as she answered a question that was way beyond her grasp. It's true, teasing your own child is always the most fun!

Lucifer, who was eating the dinner Bai Yu had prepared halfway through, paused for a moment, looked up, and muttered thoughtfully, "A good husband? It seems like he has no problems other than liking to bully me... no... he's a womanizer..."

"But a good father?"

Thinking about this, Lucifer touched his lower abdomen, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he seemed to recall some image and couldn't help but laugh. Cerberus, chewing on a rib, asked in confusion, "Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer! What's wrong? Why did you suddenly laugh?"

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, nothing~ I just thought of something interesting~"

"Oh~"

Lucifer watched as Cerberus, who had immediately gotten back into the swing of eating with great gusto, shook her head with a smile. What a carefree fellow! But as she thought about it, her mind wandered off again. This time, however, she didn't laugh out loud. Instead, a gentle smile appeared in her eyes, along with a hint of anticipation.

While Hori Kyoko and the others were chatting about topics they hadn't mentioned before because they were enjoying the food, Shiraha, who had disappeared at some point, reappeared.

Bai Yu was pushing a food cart again this time, and the contents of the cart surprised everyone because there was no smell, or rather, they were too far away to smell anything.

Bai Yu placed a bowl on everyone's table, and before Lucifer and the others could ask any questions, Inui Hinako exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! It's almond tofu!"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "I was just craving something sweet, so I made this. It's just some almonds anyway, so everyone should try it as a small gift~"

Just as Bai Yu said, the amount of this almond tofu is not very large, only a small bowl, but it looks exceptionally beautiful and delicious.

People often compare tofu to Xi Shi (a legendary beauty in Chinese history), and that's absolutely true. However! Many people believe that almond tofu is made from tofu.

Actually, no. Almond tofu only has two ingredients: almonds and milk. There is no tofu in it. Almond tofu is made by grinding sweet almonds into a paste, adding water and boiling it. After it cools and coagulates, it becomes like tofu, hence the name.

As mentioned above, almond tofu only has two ingredients: almonds and milk. Therefore, its taste is very easy to describe. Almonds are a nourishing food, and when combined with sweet milk, there is no better word to describe almond tofu than sweet and refreshing.

With a texture even smoother than tofu and a sweet taste, it melts in your mouth with a rich aroma. Compared to the delicate beauty of tofu, almond tofu seems rather rough.

You can feel the elasticity when you touch it with a spoon, but elasticity is one thing, but delicate and fragile is no joke. That little bit of elasticity is insignificant compared to its inherent softness.

Pure white as jade, with a rich and fragrant aroma, a bite of almond tofu is sweet, smooth, and refreshing. Mmm~ indeed, a passionate dinner needs such a delicate dish to conclude.

Like a soft, smooth, cool, jade-like hand gently sweeping away all the excess enthusiasm, leaving only a sense of comfort and tranquility.

A touch of osmanthus syrup glides across the almond tofu, a simple yet beautiful sight. One bite and you might not even know if you're eating pudding. Only almond tofu can provide this kind of taste and texture; its simple sweetness brings extraordinary comfort and pleasure.

"Mmm~ This is so delicious!"

"Oh my god! This is so delicious!"

Hearing the sounds around him, Bai Yu didn't say anything. He just looked at his phone while enjoying his own little sweet treat with a spoon. Satisfaction is never that difficult.

When you're unsure what to eat to quell the burning desire for a proper meal, try almond tofu. It's a sweet treat you won't regret taking a bite of; its lingering fragrance melts in your mouth, reaching straight to your heart and soul. All of this is contained in that soft, delicate texture—all you need to do is lift your spoon!

"Manager Shiraha~"

Bai Yu put down his phone, stood up, looked at Hori Kyoko and the others, and said with a smile, "Have you finished eating?"

Yuriko smiled and said, "It's delicious. How much is it in total?"

"Two thousand seven hundred yen~"

"Huh?! So cheap?!"

Hearing Hori Kyosuke's voice, Yuriko doubted she had misheard. She smiled and said, "Mom~ that's right, Manager Shiraha's restaurant has very affordable food~"

"Oh, but it's too cheap."

I think it's just right.

After Shiraha put away the money, Hori Kyosuke walked over, looked at Shiraha who was much taller than him, smiled, and said, "Mr. Shiraha, right? You're quite impressive."

"Eh?"

Yuriko gave a sly smile and said, "Hmm~ He is indeed a nice young man~ Well then, thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Shiraha, we'll head back now."

"Okay, have a safe trip."

As Hori Kyoko and the others left, Shiraha had no idea what Hori Kyosuke's words meant, and neither did Inui Hinako and the others, but they all felt there was something else going on.

But Bai Yu didn't care about that. He sat back down and looked at the delicate and beautiful almond tofu lying quietly in the bowl. He chuckled softly. No matter what kind of passion you feel, a piece of almond tofu is just right to soothe it. As the night deepens, there is always a little sweetness that you can't resist. It is a tranquility that strikes your soul and evokes your beautiful fantasies.

Chapter 154 Growing Against the Crowd (Please Subscribe~)

After Hori Kyoko and the others, Inui Hinako quickly finished her almond tofu. After finishing, she sat there quietly, having already put away her small notebook.

Feeling the gentle evening breeze blowing in through the window, listening to the soft swaying of the wind chimes, holding a glass of slightly chilled plum juice in my hand, the night air is cool, my palms are cool, just right for comfort.

Bai Yu looked at Cerberus, who was still wolfing down his food, and said with a smile, "Cerberus has a very good appetite today~ and he ate all the food."

Cerberus, his mouth stuffed full, couldn't say anything. Lucifer chuckled and said, "Cerberus's wondering if he forgot something today. This is quite a workout for him."

Cerberus nodded, and after thinking for a moment, Bai Yu asked in confusion, "What did you forget? Did Cerberus promise to do something to someone in your group today?"

Bai Yu's words startled Cerberus, who then shook his head repeatedly. Bai Yu sighed and said, "In that case, I'm not quite sure. But Cerberus shouldn't eat so much at night."

"Oh~"

Cerberus continued chewing his food while deep in thought, seemingly pondering something, but his appetite only grew stronger with each thought, and he couldn't stop eating.

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head at Cerberus's expression, then looked at Lucifer with a puzzled look and said, "Hey? Lucifer, what are you investigating? Why do you keep that expression?"

Lucifer looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Huh? What's with that expression?"

"It's that kind of expression that goes from expectant to serious when you've learned something, and you even nod every now and then."

Cerberus nodded and ate along the way, while Lucifer blushed and said, "It's nothing~ I just wanted to learn how to make white chocolate~"

"It's just white chocolate~ I'll teach you how to make it sometime. You won't be able to learn it by just following online tutorials~"

"You underestimate me! But don't you have time tomorrow?"

"We can't make chocolate every day, can we? After all, we're not selling chocolates~"

Lucifer nodded. She wasn't actually looking into how to make white chocolate, but compared to what she was really researching, it was better to just mention something milder. Otherwise, who knew what Bai Yu, this purebred carnivore, would do...

Lucifer didn't continue talking to Bai Yu but kept looking at his phone. Bai Yu glanced at Lucifer but didn't say anything. Just then, Hinako, who was sitting there, said softly while holding her plum juice, "Mr. Bai Yu, your shop will probably be chosen by the Commander-in-Chief as a place for on-site research, right?"

Lucifer and Cerberus were both taken aback upon hearing this. Bai Yu nodded and smiled, saying, "That's right, but I heard from Longdan that this is some kind of hidden shop? Only those at the level of the Ten Heroes can come here~"

Hinako Inui said with a smile, "Although it sounds a bit excessive, there's no problem at all. It would be a waste if ordinary students came to Manager Shiraha's place."

"It's not that it's a waste, but it seems that all ten outstanding students in the entire grade are going to participate in some kind of event. I heard from Rindan that ordinary shops are not good enough for their strength."

Hinako Inui was taken aback, then said with some surprise, "That's really interesting. It seems that Mr. Shiraha's place is going to get quite lively this time."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe~ But whether it's lively or not shouldn't be a big problem, since I don't have many guests here."
