Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 77: The Method of Patience Training

After hearing some information about “heart”, Tong Yu also clarified the direction of improvement in the future.

The acquisition of recipes, cooking skills, and abilities does not have much effect on the growth of “heart”, so even after Tong Yu learned “super touch”, he did not feel much improvement.

Caibo Jōichirō also told Tong Yu that “heart” is more about tempering “mood”, and it is a process of gradually maturing the heart.

Some people are born with patience, such as Tadokoro Megumi is a good example. Although her cooking heart is only a prototype, she can also reflect it into the dishes, so that consumers can feel the warmth of her cooking. But Tadokoro Megumi’s cooking heart is obviously not mature enough, and she is often unable to play due to tension.

And some people’s patience is formed the day after tomorrow, through traveling all over the world, absorbing culinary knowledge and experience from all over the world, or in the form of culinary duels, etc., the patience of Caibo Jōichirō is formed in this way.

Tong Yu also doesn’t know whether his heart is born or formed, but one thing that can be sure is that his heart is not “zero five seven” strong enough, it is just a “rudimentary”.

If you want to use a metaphor, Tong Yu’s patience is a bird that cannot fly when the moon is full, and Jōichirō’s patience is an eagle soaring in the sky.

From Jōichirō’s mouth, Tong Yu also learned how to train patience.

First, travel the world like him, absorb the cooking culture from all over the world, and exercise patience.

Second, through the form of cooking confrontation, fight with various types of chefs, and enhance the national spirit in the process of confrontation.

Then there is another one, which is to taste the dishes made by the chefs with authority.

Tong Yu thought about it, and only this second form is more suitable for him, and it is not realistic for him to travel around the world to hone. It is even more difficult to taste dishes with patient cooking, because there are really too few chefs with perfect inspiration, and even if they find others, they may not buy it.

As for how to improve the chef’s heart in the duel, Jōichirō can’t explain it in detail, let Tong Yu experience it himself, because the thing of concentricity is very abstract.

Tong Yu and Caibo Jōichirō chatted for a full hour before it ended, during which they also talked about the autumn trials and some things about Sōma.

After the chat, Dong Yu went to the kitchen to make some food before returning to the room to rest.

The next day before dawn, Zhang Yu got up.

Last night, I chatted with Caibo Jōichirō all night, and his mind was all about patience, which led to insomnia.

Although this night of insomnia was nothing to his current physique, his mental state was not very good.

Tong Yu yawned and walked towards the kitchen. He was going to cook a hot and sour dish to refresh his appetite, but when he walked to the door of the kitchen, he heard a sound from inside.

“You have also left home for more than three months. Let me see how much you have grown now.”

“Suddenly came back, and it turned out that I wanted to propose a duel, Dad!

“Why, are you afraid?”

“Afraid? Dad, I must beat you this time!”

In the kitchen are the Yukihira father and son. Listening to this conversation, you know that the two father and son are preparing for a culinary showdown.

However, this culinary showdown is already commonplace for the two of them, and the two seem to have experienced hundreds of culinary showdowns since childhood.

In these hundreds of cooking battles, even if Sōma’s “heart” has not been sharpened, the kitchen experience is quite rich. This is also the magic weapon that Sōma can survive in Tōtsuki as a transfer student, and even defeat many of his peers.

Tong Yu walked in, and Sōma asked Tong Yu to be the judge of the culinary showdown.

After a while, Isshiki Satoshi and Wen Xu also walked in one after another, seeing that Jōichirō and Sōma wanted to eat halberds, and also asked to serve as judges.

“Since there are already three judges, let’s start quickly. Because Tong Yu didn’t rest well last night, and Isshiki only came back from working in the fields, I can’t eat heavy food when I’m too old. Just use “dishes that can make people feel refreshed early in the morning!” Wen Xu said the theme to the two.

“Okay, no problem!” Sōma tied the bag on his wrist to his head.

And Jōichirō also took off the watch on his wrist and got ready to cook seriously.

“All the ingredients in this room can be used casually, the time limit is one hour, and the timer starts!” Wen Xu announced.

After these words fell, Sōma and Jōichirō took action.

About forty minutes later, Sōma was the first to finish his Western-style apple stew.”

In terms of taste, Sōma is a very good dish, and the sweet and sour taste is very suitable for a dish in the morning.

However, Tong Yu didn’t feel any “emotion” from this dish, and he felt empty after eating it.

Now Tong Yu can be sure that the current Sōma does not have the heart to cook, so it is difficult to convey the emotion to the diners.

Later, Jōichirō’s “thick soup ramen” was different, although this dish was questioned and complained by Wenxu, because this dish looked very thick and was not suitable for staying up late and eating for the elderly at all. It’s just appearance

After eating, it is very smooth, there is no feeling that the soup is too rich and people can’t eat it, but it is so delicious that people can’t stop and eat it in one breath!

After taking a few bites, Tong Yu could feel the emotion in the dish, and the image of Jōichirō traveling around the world also appeared in his mind.

How much creativity and skills are in this bowl of noodles? Jōichirō, who has traveled all over the world, seems to be condensed in this bowl of noodles…

Tong Yu ate the ramen with the soup and juice in one breath, without any waste. After eating, he said, “The gap is too obvious, Sōma, if you want to defeat Senior Caibo, it’s not enough.”

In fact, Sōma can see this from the expressions of Tong Yu, Isshiki Satoshi, and Wenxu when they eat the dishes made by both sides…

Although Sōma knew that he was not Jōichirō’s opponent, he didn’t expect the gap to be so big.

“As hurtful as this may sound, it’s true. Your dishes are very good, but something is missing to me.. And you didn’t realize that your dishes were only minimally what we asked for. But you are the only cook, but you satisfy my desire to the greatest extent.” Tong Yu said slowly.

Jōichirō could understand the meaning of Tong Yu’s words, which meant that Sōma was impatient.

The issue of Sōma’s impatience was also raised by Tong Yu and Jōichirō last night.

Although Sōma and Jōichirō run the “Yukihira Restaurant” since childhood, and hone their cooking skills. In terms of cooking skills and experience, they are indeed much higher than their peers, but in a small place for a long time, cooking skills will eventually reach a bottleneck and stagnate, and at the same time, there is no benefit to the formation of patience.

This is another reason why Jōichirō brought Sōma to Tōtsuki…

Hearing Tong Yu’s words, Wen Xu couldn’t help but say: “The dishes on both sides are unexpected and surprising, and the temperature for the sake of getting up early is nothing to say, but after tasting Jōichirō’s dishes, Sōma’s dishes pale in comparison. .”

After hearing Tong Yu and Wen Xu’s comments on the dishes on both sides, Sōma also nodded 4.4 with an epiphany.

Sōma immediately recovered from the loss, and said to Jōichirō with high fighting spirit: “Hey, this time I lost, next time I must defeat you, Dad!”

“Hehe, is this your 490th loss to me?” Jōichirō laughed.

“It’s so annoying, they all say they’ll beat you next time!”

The father and son were bickering, and each recorded the record of the 490th battle and the process of the duel.

After doing all this, Jōichirō came to Sōma and encouraged him in his way: “I heard that you are going to participate in the autumn audition, right? It is a completely different stage from the competition so far, and you are the best on that big stage. A fierce duel between. Although I want you to be undefeated to others until the next time you lose to me, it seems to be difficult now.

“I, I will not lose to others!”

The main purpose of Jōichirō’s visit to Polar Star Dorm this time is to inspire Sōma, and since the purpose has been achieved, he did not stay much longer and left Polar Star Dorm that morning.
