Chapter 12 The Taste of Hometown
"Pepper, it's pepper!...I feel like I'm in Vietnam, the kingdom of pepper!"
Although Tony Stark has been researching weapons in the United States all year round, it does not mean that he has not studied delicious food from all over the world.
In particular, the origins of various ingredients are extremely rare.
After all, Stark Enterprises has been one of the largest military-industrial companies in the United States since his father's generation, and he is not just a nouveau riche who has been rich for more than ten years.
When he took the five-spice bacon into his mouth, he originally thought it would be the smell of those exotic spices from oriental cuisine. Unexpectedly, his favorite and familiar smoke and pepper flavors took over. The five-spice flavor was like a foil, exuding a light and elegant flavor.
the smell.
After the mild aroma of wheat and milk faded away at first, the ferocious taste of meat was like a tough fist, quickly awakening his appetite and taste buds.
It was obviously a small restaurant in a foreign country, but it made him feel the familiar taste of his hometown.
The smells appeared and disappeared one after another, making Tony Stark frown...relax...and the cycle continued.
"Is this crispy pickled cucumber? No..."
"Is this the milky flavor of cheese? That's not right...!"
“Why do I taste my favorite cheeseburger from an oriental-style bun??”
As he spoke, Tony Stark pushed aside the 'spiced bacon steamed bun slices' and saw the sauce-like white liquid inside, and stretched out his fingers to taste it.
I tasted a strong milky flavor that was similar to cheese but had a different flavor.
"This is milk fan, an oriental snack. I melted it and mixed it with a little buffalo milk to make the cheese-flavored sauce you eat now. However, the milk fan has no taste, even if it contains a lot of fat.
High-quality buffalo milk can’t add much flavor.”
"I added a little more lime juice to add a natural sourness."
"Before, you would feel the Vietnamese flavor strongly from the beginning, also because of the lime juice!"
Zhao Youqian looked at Tony Stark who opened his eyes and showed a desire to explore and explained.
"Those with a crispy texture are sour radishes. I squeezed out most of the juice to reduce the flavor of the radish itself and retain the greasy sourness and crispness."
"It can be said that this dish is an exotic burger that combines Western flavors with oriental ingredients..."
"For this reason, I have been using milk since I started kneading the dough. Mr. Stark must have tasted it at the beginning, right?"
A slight smile appeared.
"Mr. Stark's request made me very embarrassed at first. After all, I didn't prepare too many Western ingredients here, but fortunately I received some tips before, and I made some slight changes to the existing ingredients.
You can make the taste of your hometown.”
Thinking of the techniques that Seiichiro Yukihira had used in the food space before, Zhao Youqian learned a solid lesson about the preparation of food and spices.
And he was also surprised to find that the time spent in the food space is not calculated according to the outside world. The primary food space can almost reach 3:1 with the outside world, but the billing is based on the outside world.
In other words, as long as he purchases one hour, he can study three times as long in the food space.
Even though he had been in the outside world for a short time before Tony Stark arrived, he had actually watched the practice of Flame Yipinxian no less than five times. Now he seems to have vaguely understood why this system of gourmets in the world does not have ready-made special recipes. Sold.
“What’s the taste of hometown?”
Tony Stark still had half a piece of spiced bacon steamed bun in his hand. No matter how he looked at it, it had nothing to do with his hometown, but... the familiar smell had already guided him to see what home looked like.
go home!
No matter what kind of difficulties can stop him from returning home!
Tony Stark never thought that what really gave him his greatest obsession would be a small piece of food from an exotic restaurant.
After two bites, he stuffed the remaining half of the spiced bacon steamed bun slices into his mouth. Looking at Tony Stark devouring it, Zhao Youqian knew that his mission had been completed.
Before the text could change on the system panel, Tony Stark stood up abruptly.
"Boss, if you go out from behind the door, that's where I came in, right?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then Zhao Youqian nodded.
"That's right..."
Tony Stark, who was already full of energy at this time, seemed to have activated all the energy in his body.
"Then...can you take out your food?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Youqian got a positive answer from the system.
"Yes, you can, but you can only take away three people at most..."
After hearing this answer, Tony Stark already showed a confident look.
"That's enough!"
After a while, Zhao Youqian scratched his head as he looked at Tony Stark who was preparing to leave carrying three portions of spiced bacon steamed bread slices he had made and two bottles of mineral water.
"correct!"
Tony Stark seemed to have thought of something.
"Although your food tastes pretty good..."
He raised the steamed buns wrapped in kraft paper in his hand, opened his mouth and laughed.
"But I still like cheeseburgers. If I have a chance, I will bring you the best burger in New York to try!"
Waving his hand, Tony Stark stepped out of the restaurant and was swallowed by the black hole, disappearing without a trace.
"Next time?"
Zhao You smiled dryly.
"Next time I won't be as good at cooking as I am now!"
The heat has just been upgraded by two levels. To be honest, he has not fully mastered it. Otherwise, if it is just the same five-spice bacon steamed bun slices, he can at least add a smoky aroma, making it more difficult for Tony Stark to escape.
But... I'll give him a surprise next time!
Zhao Youqian didn't hesitate anymore. After all, as long as the customer came once, he had already been tagged. If his cooking skills improved further, he could be invited to taste his dishes at any time.
How could a true gourmet of the heavens limit his diners to just one world?
Moreover, there are completely different ingredients, recipes, and dishes in each world, which are enough treasures for Zhao Youqian to discover.
Zhao Youqian clenched his fists and his thoughts were full of excitement.
"Now I want to completely combine my cooking skills with the rituals, to the point where I can use the rituals at any time, and then start to improve my cooking skills again through the rituals!"
Although he has yet to meet someone who can truly solve his physical condition, now that Iron Man has appeared, diners from other worlds will soon arrive. Is there anyone from countless worlds who can solve his problem?
Besides...
'My cooking skills have broken through the bottleneck!'
Zhao Youqian also vaguely understood what to do next even if his physical condition was limited. The skills after the ceremony would be his target for points redemption!
Just when Zhao Youqian began to hone his cooking skills and use the energy in rituals to resonate with heaven and earth to activate the power of ingredients.
Looking at the stars in the sky from an ancient palace in Kyoto.
Husband Yu took out a mobile phone and dialed a transoceanic number.
