Food: I, Liu Maoxing, can’t be low-key at all - Chapter 49
A big winter melon…
A big winter melon with patterns carved on it was placed horizontally in front of the three judges.
“Liu Maoxing, can you open the lid?” Nakiri Senzaemon said.
“”Oh. Please wait a moment.” Liu Maoxing took out a small cylindrical iron box from his trouser pocket.
Then, he opened a small hole on the side of the winter melon lid and poured the contents of the small iron box into it. In an instant, a burst of white mist seeped out from the lid and slowly flowed down along the pattern on the surface of the winter melon, and a small sea of clouds suddenly appeared on the table.
“dry ice……”Teacher Roland Chapelle said
“This will lower the temperature of the dish and affect the taste.……”Erina knocked lightly on the table.
“Aroma, huh? I didn’t even consider this, how could I compete with the Ten Greatest Shokugeki? Ms. Erina, please stop worrying about it. Please enjoy it. My food.”Liu Maoxing interrupted Erina and lifted the lid of the winter melon.
Erina… angry face.

The four sides of the winter melon seemed to have a mechanism, opening like a city gate. The dry ice mist in the winter melon flowed down along the four sides of the snow-white winter melon meat, covering the entire tray on which the winter melon was placed. In the middle, a group of warm steam turned into auspicious clouds and floated into the sky. Under the illumination of the lights, there was a sense of visual experience of a fantasy blockbuster, which was fascinating.
The clouds gradually dissipated, and the dishes emerged. Eight sculptures, some sitting, some lying, some laughing boldly, some reserved ladies, men and women, old and young, rich and poor, lifelike, drunk and exquisite, were the famous drunken eight immortals.
There was a pool of clear and distinct steaming nectar between the people. The jade liquid flows slowly, rippling the water, but the clouds of water vapor floating up are hard to see clearly.
Not far behind the eight people, there are eight tofu jade towers made of eight different qualities of tofu surrounding them. Under the lights, the eight jade towers are faintly flowing, and each tower has a character engraved on the top, representing eight virtues, namely the Eight Immortals and Eight Virtues.
Kindness, be kind to things, Lü Dongbin.
Humility, be content with what you have, Zhang Guolao.
Frugality, be thrifty, Lan Caihe.
Purity, do not follow the turbulent flow, Cao Guojiu. Harmony, be harmonious but not drifting, Han Zhongli.
Forgiveness, be lenient to others, Tieguai Li.
Simplicity, keep the truth as one, He Xiangu. Simple, be unpretentious and straightforward, Han Xiangzi.
The three judges looked at the beautiful dishes in front of them, which looked like a fairyland on earth, and asked a common question:”Is this a dish?”
“Dragon Country Banquet Cuisine. Yaochi Eight Immortals Banquet! Please enjoy it.”Liu Maoxing stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture.
When the dishes appeared, there was an uproar in the venue and silence for a long time.
The ten heroes were rubbing their eyes.
What the hell is this?
The dishes made have special effects?
Kuga Teruki couldn’t retract his eyes and chin.
Damn!
Cooking with special effects?
What the hell did you add to the dishes?!
“Senior Jiuwo, do you think my presentation is acceptable?”Liu Maoxing turned his head with a smile, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, apologize! Otherwise, I will beat you up!
“I’m sorry! I looked at the problem too one-sidedly!” Kuga Teruki was quite frank, and apologized without hesitation.
“Yeah.” Liu Maoxing smiled.
“But, just because the food looks good doesn’t mean it’s delicious!! I haven’t lost yet!”
“Hmm. Judges, don’t just stand there. If you keep watching, the food will get cold. Let’s eat.” Liu Maoxing said with his hands behind his back.
“Oh? Oh! Ahem, yes, yes, yes, eat.”After waking up, Lord Nakiri Senzaemon demonstrated what it meant to get away with it.
The three judges each held a small plate and began to pick up tofu from Liu Maoxing’s dish with chopsticks.
Lord Nakiri Senzaemon and teacher Roland Chapelle picked up the tofu quickly and steadily, and put the tofu cubes on their plates in an instant.
Then, Liu Maoxing saw the change in Erina Nakiri’s expression from confident to serious and then to angry.
Big sister, you haven’t eaten yet?
Why are you so angry?
Liu Maoxing went over to take a look. The young lady was holding chopsticks and the most tender pile of tofu just started… yes, she was arguing.
She couldn’t pick it up, her face flushed but she didn’t pick it up, the tofu was so slippery, and she didn’t dare to use force, for fear that she would use too much force and crush the tofu.
“Do you want a spoon?” Liu Maoxing couldn’t bear it anymore and asked.
“Do you think I can’t use chopsticks? Ah!” Erina blushed and slammed the table.
“Please, please.”
Liu Maoxing thought:”You are too proud.”
Liu Maoxing was watching curiously from the side, holding a spoon in his hands behind his back.
Big sister, I want to see when you will give up your chopsticks and ask me for a spoon.
A minute passed, and Erina was still picking up her first piece of tofu.
The commander-in-chief and teacher Roland Chapelle couldn’t stand it anymore. They held the tofu on the plate, and it was not right to eat it or not.
“Liu Maoxing, please bring her a spoon.”Lord Nakiri Senzaemon has spoken.
“Oh.” Liu Maoxing took out the spoon in his hand.
“No, no need! I finally… picked it up!!”Erina-san was sweating from exhaustion without eating a single bite, and she was so happy looking at the tofu in her hand.
“Snap Snap……”Liu Maoxing was clapping beside him. I am really moved by your spirit of saving face.
“Eat it. It’s cold.” Nakiri Senzaemon said
“Yeah.”Teacher Roland Chapelle nodded.
Nakiri Erina started eating with an angry face.
Embarrassed again… Why do I always feel embarrassed when I meet this guy!
The tofu is in my mouth.
The three of them were stunned, looked at each other and nodded, completely different from when they ate Kuga Terukina, no one said a word, absolute silence.
“”Okay. Time’s up.” Liu Maoxing said.
The three of them looked at Liu Maoxing’s Eight Immortals Banquet when they heard it. At this time, the dry ice mist in the dishes completely dissipated.
A faint fragrance floated out, becoming stronger and stronger. It was not stimulating at all, but teasing you little by little like a beautiful woman.
When you smell it carefully, this mysterious fragrance will secretly turn into another completely different fragrance, which will explode and hit the nasal cavity of the three people, strong and fierce.
When you are about to be unable to bear it, the fragrance changes again, turning into a soothing and relaxing massage, soothing the nasal cavity that was just stimulated, and arousing the appetite from the heart.
“”This seems to be… using temperature to control the layering of aromas, and even taking into account the time it takes for the person tasting it to adapt to the strong aromas! This is simply the perfect theoretical state of my research results, how could anyone use it directly in reality?”
In the corner of the stands, a girl with glasses and ponytails in a white coat and a handsome guy with silver hair and dark skin next to her stared and exclaimed
“Give me the spoon!” Erina stretched out her hand towards Liu Maoxing.
“”Yes. Here.” Liu Maoxing handed the spoon to Erina.
