Chapter 844: Chapter 737: It’s Hard to Make It in the Medicinal Cuisine World

Li Zongming couldn’t help but lean closer to admire the medicinal cuisine.

The cherry blossom tree crafted from fried noodles was lifelike, with every detail of the branch’s bifurcation made to perfection, accompanied by syrup-covered, bright red, exquisite cherry clusters.

From the fruit to the leaves, even the leaf stems serving as connectors were incredibly intricate, masterfully crafted.

This doesn’t look like medicinal cuisine at all!

It could directly be showcased at an exhibition!

This is a presence that infinitely raises the threshold of medicinal cuisine cooking.

Thinking about it, Li Zongming couldn’t help but swallow, regretting that when he first came here, he had the thought of making a good impression—what was he even thinking?

This young medicinal cuisine chef is already at the expert level!

Suddenly, the medicinal cuisine arena feels overwhelmingly tough to navigate…

Li Zongming looked at the two completed medicinal dishes, actually, when he was diagnosing Xia Anni before, he already had ideas, and even the customized medicinal cuisine recipes were similar to what Fu Yu made; he could clearly cook medicinal cuisine himself…

Too bad, before he found the chance to shine, he was held back by this young medicinal cuisine chef.

Considering this, Li Zongming felt a bit of regret and helplessness.

It’s truly the case of the Yangtze River waves flooding ahead, the previous waves utterly crushed.

Oh well, given his cooking skills, he’d better just watch and appreciate for now…

Understanding this, Li Zongming took a deep breath, stepped back a bit, and continued observing silently.

Yao Shi withdrew his gaze from Li Zongming and casually scrutinized the expressions of Liu Yiming and Ren Yuchang.

They all appeared thoroughly impressed, evidently stunned by Fu Yu’s medicinal cuisine skills.

Indeed, it’s not just them—even Yao Shi himself hadn’t anticipated that Fu Yu would create such innovative medicinal cuisine.

Yao Shi couldn’t help but smile; this kid is truly outstanding!

Fu Yu is a very imaginative person, with a nimble mind—his previous creatively modified dishes have clearly shown this.

This advantage was effectively utilized to prevent Xia Anni’s appetite loss from causing her to refuse dining.

Yao Shi stared fondly at the cherry blossom medicinal dish before him for quite some time, while Liu Yiming’s previously high-rising heart finally settled down completely.

With the medicinal cuisine crafted like this, if Xia Anni still refuses to dine, then even a deity couldn’t change it.

He couldn’t help but feel relieved; at a crucial moment, his sister was reliable after all.

If it weren’t for his sister recommending Chef Fu to assist with the medicinal cuisine, he wouldn’t have thought of hosting tonight’s culinary banquet.

This young Chef Fu indeed has excellent culinary skills, truly worthy of his sister’s earnest praise.

When there’s time, he must give Chef Fu a thank-you bonus, truly a credit to himself.

[Ding! Favorability with NPC Music Restaurant Owner Yao Shi +5]

[Ding! Favorability with NPC National Leading Sales Master Liu Yiming +5]

Fu Yu remained composed; beyond favorability, what he truly wanted was a complete set of rewards…

The ginger vinegar papaya in the pot had already been steamed.

Fu Yu took the steaming bowl out, placing it aside to cool.

He then opened the lid and took out the fragrant yam quails.

Next, he took a fresh ripe papaya and began carving.

The papaya was washed clean, its center marked using a compass to draw a neat circle; within the circle, a carving knife delineated layered, lush, three-dimensional petals.

At this moment, the high-level cutting technique, intermediate face carving skill, and advanced drawing skill thoroughly exhibited their unique effects.

The highly intricate and daunting carving artistry was fully demonstrated by Fu Yu.

Two-thirds of the papaya skin was carved into clusters of exquisite floral patterns.

The tip of the papaya was cut off, with the pulp inside scooped out using a long-handled spoon, the papaya base flattened, and placed onto a delicate petal-shaped shallow ceramic dish.

The carved papaya stood firmly, appearing very pleasing to the eye.

Fu Yu retrieved the ginger slices from the still warm vinegar ginger papaya, mashed the papaya, and served it along with the juice into the carved papaya bowl.

This exquisitely plated vinegar ginger papaya was thus completed.

Yao Shi asked with interest: “What kind of flowers are carved here? They seem to resemble peonies and peony flowers?”

Fu Yu smiled and said: “This is a flower carving technique I learned online before, called ‘A Journey of Flowers’. I found the pattern quite beautiful, so I memorized it.”

“A Journey of Flowers…”

Yao Shi pondered the name of this flower carving—indeed, it’s quite fitting; these blooming clusters unmistakably winding on the papaya!

What was originally a very ordinary vinegar ginger papaya, paired with such a meticulously crafted fruit bowl, suddenly elevated its elegance by several notches!

Even Liu Yiming couldn’t help but marvel at the power of presentation.

No matter how ordinary something may be, through skillful design, the product’s value can be visualized.

While they were marveling, Fu Yu had already begun plating the yam quail.

The quail was stewed to a tender, bone-separating softness; Fu Yu fished it out, deboned it, chopped it, molded it into mini meatballs, then wrapped the quail meat with glutinous yam, pinching with fingertips to create ridged edges, spinning to form plump star shapes.

Using a small lotus leaf shallow ceramic bowl, half a bowl of soup was served, containing ten plump star-shaped yam quail balls.

The crystal-clear, translucent appearance was truly delightful.
