Chapter 330 – [Isn’t It Wrong to Seek Dating in Moorim?]
People who heard the commotion and rumors, mainly Murim people, began to wander in Chengdu.
Perhaps the center of the rumor is me. Yong Ha-yeon only takes care of her children, but she does not reveal her true identity.
At least, Haomen was hiding it thinking about the aftermath. No, she might have rather spread it by disguising Yong Ha-yeon as a disciple of Ma Ryong-hu. Unlike the king of panacea or the celestial killer, Yonghayeon returns after a thousand years.
“These days, the level of the kids has fallen too low. After meeting Master, I’ll go around and raise the overall level.”
“How?”
“Gul… No, it should be fine if you teach me in moderation.”
“I said roll! I said roll! Aren’t you tired of that!”
There are many Murim people who gather, but they do not approach it easily. We did it on purpose, and it was because we didn’t have time to teach the kids.
Besides, what they want is roughly visible. Homosexuality, curiosity, stronger martial arts, confirmation of legend, and so on. But I had no intention of matching them.
“Is the showdown tomorrow?”
“So what”
“It must be interesting. Shall we make a bet?”
“I’m the owner of the water, so where are you going to mess with me? I can’t spend a single penny on things like gambling?”
I don’t even play gacha at home, so do you think I’ll give you money to spend? No matter how victorious it is in a confrontation with the naked eye. If you liked making money with that, you bought bitcoins on Earth a long time ago.
The best way to earn money is to work hard. Cheating bastard? Cut off the limbs, dry them in the sun, and hang them up until they are gone.
It’s not that I think I’m only working with my body. Because writing your hair is also a job. But a bastard who eats others is still cheap. When migrants come to Mars, fraud should be punished worse than death.
“It’s good, are you done?”
“Ah, that’s all right”
Thanks to Seon-i, I’ve been eating only mapo tofu these days. Even if you make less, it’s spicy and spicy, so rice goes well.
Yong Ha-yeon and Dong-dong seem to be getting tired of it, but… Well, it’s because I can eat it.
“Hmmm, my skills have improved. It’s tolerable. I think I’ve done enough to make something like this in a few days.”
“Really?”
“I don’t talk dirty when it comes to cooking”
I’d rather say something like ‘The mushroom soup you cooked is so undercooked that the spores will come out when you chew it!’
Even if Shion makes it, they say that if it doesn’t taste good, where is it?!
“But I think this much will not be enough. The mapo tofu I ate at Gukharu the other day was more delicious than this.”
“Didn’t I say that taste is important, but not only taste is important?”
“What’s important is the meaning contained in it…You mean it?”
“Then what do I need to cook this time?”
“Well……”
Sun was lost in thought. It’s worth worrying about because this is an area that can’t be reached with talent alone.
Just as food isn’t everything, talent isn’t everything. If a world judged only by talent comes, that will be my judgment agenda too.
“If I could give you a little more hint…You don’t need to add something just because you need more.”
“Yes?”
“Sometimes you need to take it off if necessary.”
“……?”
Oh, is this sounding too bubbly? Still, I solved it and explained it myself.
Anyway, this was a problem that Seon could learn on his own when tomorrow came. If I didn’t think it would be possible, I would have told you earlier.
What if you don’t wake up on the day of the competition?
…….At that time, let’s give it a hint with an electric tone.
* * *
The day of the competition was bright. Just as hanging was an event for people in the Middle Ages, even a confrontation in which someone might die was like a festival in this place without computers or internet.
And people gathered in front of the gate. There were ordinary people among them, but there were also a lot of Murim people.
“There’s a lot of people”
“I think going to the venue will be a problem, but…”
“It’s okay, you guys come slowly. I’ll take Seon first.”
“Be sure to win, Daehyeop!”
“That should be done for Seon, not me.”
“Ah, I’m sorry…Then it’s good, you must win!”
“Yes!”
Dongdong treated Seon and Yonghayeon quite casually, as if they had become close while rolling under Yonghayeon. Although there is a difference in age, even if they do not have it, they will look like a brother and sister relationship or, at worst, a father and daughter relationship.
Anyway, as a guardian, it’s enough for me to go, and spectators can come slowly. Seon has to attend the competition, so he should go a little early.
It was more than I could have imagined that the onlookers were so crowded. It seems that the name value of the Thousand Killers, that is, the three seasons of the world, was greater than expected.
Anyway, I got Sunyi on board and prepared to go to the competition site.
“How are you going to get there when it’s crowded?”
“I can pass it, but what?”
I just lightly jumped up and ran through the crowd.
It didn’t mean stepping on people’s heads or shoulders, but rather running through the air. It’s not just a light ball that jumps far, what is it…
“Illusion!!!! It’s a heavenly sacrifice!”
“Such a natural Heavenly Emperor! What’s more, even bring a child!”
“It’s a thousand deaths! It’s a thousand deaths disciples!!!!”
“The rumors were true!!”
Oh right. Cheon Sangje. If you change one end, you will be a thousand years old. Why didn’t you remember
Anyway, I crossed the crowd without paying attention to the gaze of people. Most of people’s eyes change to envy.
Eventually, we arrived at the cooking competition place prepared in front of the temple gate. Yang Yoon-chae glared at Seon-yi with uncomfortable eyes, as if he had been waiting for him to come first.
“Sheep Chef…!”
“Still, Sun is calling him the chef?”
“It’s not like calling a guy like that an injection.”
“Oh, is that so?”
As I recall, if you pass a cooking test somewhere, it’s called an injection. I’m selling it in the neighborhood, so I didn’t really need to pick it up, so I let it go.
However, it would have been really nice if we had believed in his skills and had faced him head on… If he had had that kind of personality in the first place, Guk Haru wouldn’t have looked like that.
“Since the opponents of both sides have arrived, we will start the confrontation from now on!!!”
After the roaring lion roar, it was the poison king’s cry that announced the start of the confrontation.
“This confrontation is being held to reveal the true owner of Gukharu! I’ll cover you from my seat!”
Aaaaa!!!!
Loud cheers rang out. Players on both sides faced each other.
The picture doesn’t come out because of the height difference… But Seon-i’s eyes were definitely the eyes of a person who came prepared.
“And I, Shin Seong-hyeok, will be the judge! I’ve tasted the cuisine there even while the Honorable Gook Haru was alive, so I’ll be able to judge fairly and accurately as the judge here!”
“Daehyeop the poison king himself!”
“Could it be because of the disciples of the Thousand Killers…?”
You can’t play tricks as much as the party sees the referee. The previous confrontation was also a cooking competition, focusing on ‘delicious cooking’, so it passed without questioning the question, but I can’t do that normally.
The same goes for materials. In fact, there is no difference between the two other than experience because they can make it with the same materials distributed fairly.
“The theme of this cooking competition is Gukharu’s Mapo Tofu! Only those who can recreate the taste that John made will be able to win! The time given to cook is half the time! From the moment the sand in this hourglass runs out Let the showdown begin!”
The poison king grabbed the hourglass placed in front of him.
And while turning over, he fired the Lion’s Roar once again, announcing the start of the confrontation.
“Then begin!”
Wow!
Someone rings a gong to signal the start. A heavy metal vibration sounded and the confrontation began.
The two first lit a fire and started heating the wok. And prepare and prepare the ingredients.
“That bastard…”
Taking a peek, among the ingredients he is trimming, bean meat stands out. Seeing him write that on the topic of taste, it looks pretty ugly, perhaps because he intends to give up his high self-esteem.
If I had made and served delicious mapo tofu like last time, I’d think you’d be an asshole…
Anyway, put rayu on the hot wok. Cheeik! And a boiling sound is heard. Then add leaf garlic, soybean paste, and grated ginger and stir-fry.
Afterwards, when the eolchu is stir-fried, the next thing to add is broth, usually oyster sauce or something like that is used to add umami, but… This is Sichuan, an inland region in the first place. There was no oyster sauce sold in the modern earth or in the supermarket.
So here we use broth made from beef. There was a reason why I said that meat is not included, but it is not that it is not used.
However, since it is a broth made by steeping the broth, it is delicious enough to drink even if you drink it as it is. Spread it full of Korean characters and stir-fry it again.
At this point, add soybean meat. Soybean meat that has been chopped like minced meat is mixed well with plenty of cooked rayu, then seasoned with soy sauce.
And just before serving, slice the tofu and put it in. Tofu is closer to silken tofu, so if you use the ladle incorrectly, the tofu will crumble.
Eventually, towards the end, hwajao (flower root)… No, here, something called Japanese pepper is added. The tingling taste of mapo tofu comes from here.
And once it’s hot, it’s done!
But Seon’s cooking doesn’t end there. Because there is something else to prepare.
“It’s done, adult!!!!”
“Oh!!!”
No matter how much Seon-i learned martial arts, it was only for a child to catch up with an adult’s physical specifications. Under the same conditions, it was only natural that Yang Yoon-chae would be faster.
Moreover, Seon-i had other things to make besides mapo tofu, so it was only natural.
But there is nothing to worry about.
In a cooking competition like this, if you eat the main character’s dish later, it’s a natural cliché to win!!!
“Oh, then let’s try the mapo tofu of the person who made it first.”
Sibi, who works at the gate, brings Yang Yun-chae’s mapo tofu and puts it on the table.
Steam rises, and the spicy yet spicy scent spreads. However, the appetite-stimulating smell proves that the mapo tofu is of a very high quality.
But looking at the smell of meat, it seems that it was arranged more than mine? Aren’t you stupid too?
“Well! Then where!”
The king of poison took a spoonful of mapo tofu and let it cool for a while. Even if you are a master, it seems burdensome to put boiled mapo tofu in your mouth at once.
Before long, Dokwang, who took a bite and tasted it, nodded and smiled.
“Um, that’s good”
As if trying to taste it again, I scooped it up a couple of times and drank water. He calmed down after drinking three cups full of water to see if the spicy taste was rising.
“It tastes great. The taste of mapo tofu didn’t disappear despite the intense spiciness and tingling. And the subtle taste of the meat…”
“I used a mix of minced meat and soybean meat”
“I see. That’s why the umami was much more.”
The meat is delicious. If you see vegetarians looking for things that taste similar to meat, it’s clear that meat is delicious for people.
It’s obvious that the meat is delicious because it’s put in a place where meat doesn’t go in.
The king of poison drank another cup of water to reduce the spiciness, and this time he prepared to judge Seon-i’s mapo tofu.
“I’m done with mine too”
It’s been a while, but the mapo tofu is still delicious. The pungent scent is still there, but the smell is less than that of Yang Yun-chae’s mapo tofu.
And wriggling, the poison king’s eyebrows reacted.
“Then where…”
He recalled a spoonful of mapo tofu with eyes full of anticipation. Except for the fact that only soybean meat was used, it looks like Yang Yoon-chae’s mapo tofu, but the difference is not apparent.
It was moderately cooled, so Dokwang, who quickly took a bite, began to shake his hands while savoring the taste.
“No, this taste…?”
Then, one bite, two bites, one after another. No, that wasn’t enough, so he found a fight.
“Bob! It’s Bob! Bring the rice!”
“Oh, Bob’s here”
Suni prepared rice as well as mapo tofu. That’s why it was later than Yang Yun-chae to finish cooking.
Mapo tofu is also rice. And if there was only mapo tofu left in the soup day, the rice was unlimited refills!
“I have plenty of rice!”
“Umm…!”
The poison king scooped up the rice and started to eat it quickly like mapo tofu.
With this, the winner of this match was decided.
