[The Magic Chef of Ice and Fire]

[Adapted from Tang Jia San Shao's novel "The Magic Chef of Fire and Ice"]

[Previously...] My head chef, Liao Feng,

is very curious about you.

Would you be interested

in competing with him?

I heard long ago

that Dacheng Pavilion's head chef is very skilled.

To have a chance to compare notes

is just what I wish for.

This bead

is named Holy Brilliance.

I want to use it

to bet against Mr. Xue's Qingfeng House.

You want to take over our Qingfeng House?

It seems that Miss Xue has let off enough steam.

Then this bet

is official.

-

We can make a bet,

but I would never use Qingfeng House as a wager.

Humph.

Then do you have something that has the same value

as the Holy Brilliance Bead?

Your Holy Brilliance Bead is indeed precious,

but if it is used to bet against Qingfeng House,

it would hurt the harmonious relations between us.

Why don't I

use the treasure in this box

to bet against your Holy Brilliance Bead?

I'll use this blade as my wager.

How about it?

You have a treasure like this?

I want this blade.

Bet with him.

Okay.

I will be your witness

for this bet.

Then let's set this cooking competition

for tomorrow.

Earth-type douqi.

Such sharp sword skills.

He is an ice mage?

Oh, haughty ice.

Please fuse your coldness and hardness together

to form an invincible blade.

Icy Rain.

Oh no.

Humph.

That's all you can do?

So difficult to deal with.

So fast.

After the fight with Bing Jian,

my body

still has not fully recovered.

I can't drag this on.

Snowy Blizzard.

This won't do.

I have to expel the earth-element douqi

from my body completely.

The competition

is about to start.

Have you seen Nian Bing?

No.

What's the matter?

He still hasn't come yet.

Ah?

I knocked on his door before I left.

No one answered.

So I thought he had already arrived at Qingfeng House.

Don't worry.

Nian Bing has always been calm and composed.

He will be here.

You go to the mage association to find Nian Bing.

We

will find a way to stall for time.

It is time.

The competition

starts now.

Everyone.

Our head chef

is not feeling well today.

Can we hold the competition another day...

Not feeling well?

I think he is afraid to compete,

so he made up an excuse.

The competition and the bet are still on.

We just want to hold the competition another day.

Mr. Xue.

This is a big event for Icy City.

And you want to dismiss it with "not feeling well"?

I have a suggestion.

Since it is already time,

why don't we hold the competition as planned?

If after one hour,

Qingfeng House's head chef is still not here

or his dishes are not finished,

it will count as Qingfeng House's loss.

How about it?

How is it a competition

without an opponent?

It's not easy for everyone to take the time to come here.

How can it be acceptable

if no good food is served?

Not to mention

that Head Chef Liao Feng must have

prepared today's dishes with great care.

I'm looking forward to it.

I think this suggestion

is pretty decent.

What do you think?

Then,

let's start.

This is too risky.

If Nian Bing doesn't make it...

If no competition is held today,

Liao Er will not give up.

The only thing we can do now

is to wait for Nian Bing to show up.

Even if he makes it,

I'm afraid it'll be too late.

I searched all over the mage association.

I asked every association member as well.

No one has seen him.

Since the dishes are done,

the competition

is over.

Who said it's over?

Only half an hour left.

Just admit defeat.

That's enough time.

Whatever I ask for,

just throw them at me.

Okay.

Scallion.

Ginger.

Chicken.

Star anise.

Chili.

Fire magic.

From ice to fire.

Maybe

the Magic Assassin is only one person.

Two tomatoes.

Okay.

Lamb chops.

Every three breaths,

pour a teaspoon of oil into the pot.

Okay.

This knife...

Potato.

Carrot.

Cucumber.

Sweet potato.

Pork.

Beef.

Lamb.

Duck.

One piece each.

How many cuts

did he just make?

I didn't see them clearly either.

Too fast.

I thought I got dim-sighted.

Pour the fish soup into the ice plate.

The place where the demon hand falls shocks the heavens,

the carved waves circle around hundreds of times.

Where is the eternal uncanny workmanship now?

When the blade is raised, the waning moon

is reflected in the cold spring.

Time is up.

Wonderful.

Truly wonderful.

These three dishes

excel in

color,

aroma,

and

taste.

Thank you for your praise, sir.

His dishes

are indeed gorgeous

and very creative.

Head Chef Nian Bing.

All three of my dishes

are part of the fusion of ice and fire series.

I named this series

Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire.

This dish

is Stir-Fried Lotus Chicken of Ice and Fire.

The golden crust is crispy.

The chicken is tender and juicy.

Just a small tug

can separate the chicken.

With every chew,

the aroma of lotus leaves

escapes from your mouth.

It makes you feel like you are in a lotus pond.

This...

This is...

The meatiness

and the aroma of the lotus leaves

complement each other well.

You didn't seem to have put in any seasoning.

I think cooking is about

keeping the original flavor of the food.

Food without seasoning

tastes dull

and cannot be called delicious whatsoever.

Delicious or not,

please judge for yourselves.

So the flavor of chicken

can be so fresh and savory.

Quick, introduce

the second dish.

This is Blood Rain Rib of Ice and Fire,

with lamb chops as the core ingredient.

So,

I added some seasoning accordingly.

Umami.

The steaming lamb

retained its original gaminess,

but not overly so.

Aromatic.

The cool tomato juice

is refreshingly tart and sweet,

subtly diluting the greasiness of fat in the meat.

The rich broth

fills the mouth instantly.

I've never had such delicious lamb chops before.

I want to taste your last dish.

This is my best dish

in the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire series.

Its name is

Eight Degrees of Umami of Ice and Fire.

It's amazingly delicious.

The cod soups I've had before have never tasted this fresh and savory.

I got rid of the tendons,

which removed some of the fishiness of the cod.

Fish tendons?

Every kind of fish has tendons.

They are also known as

fishy tendons.

As long as they are removed,

the fishiness

will naturally disappear.

I know this method,

but

it's still very difficult to make fish soup this fresh and savory.

This special umami taste

comes from fish bones.

No.

There are other reasons.

After

(the fish soup was poured into the ice plate,)

(he cooked the other eight shredded ingredients)

(without losing its own flavor.)

When the temperature of the fish soup

is rapidly lowered by the ice plate,

the flavors of the eight ingredients

would remain in the fish soup.

This is why it is called Eight Degrees of Umami.

Its biggest feature

is the umami taste which is composed

of eight different flavors.

Cooking with magic is faster.

It is also possible to combine different magic elements

to make the dishes more magnificent.

The winner has not yet been determined.

Sirs,

please judge fairly.

No need.

I admit defeat.

You made me see

a brand new path.

Mr. Liao.

Since your head chef has admitted defeat...

A bet is a bet.

Mr. Liao.

See you.

This belongs to the winner.

Then I shall

humbly accept it.

I'm curious

as to how you used

two types of conflicting magic simultaneously.

I'm an ice mage.

The fire magic

was cast by scrolls.

Oh.

I see.

I'm going to buy some magic scrolls

to try cooking with magic

and then challenge Nian Bing again.

Getting rid of an opponent

doesn't necessarily require better cooking skills.

What are you going to do?

The Magic Assassin

killed Liao San with ice and fire magic.

You suspect

that Nian Bing is the Magic Assassin.

He is an ice mage

and cast fire magic with scrolls.

How can you be sure?

I don't need to be sure.

As long as the Ice God Pagoda thinks he is,

it's enough.

[Next episode] Hey.

Where are you going?

Liao Er.

A dual elemental mage

is nothing special.

Hahahaha.

Feng Nu.

What are you doing here?

Did I interrupt your date?

Today is the last time

I'm cooking at Qingfeng House.

Why don't you come too?

Since this is the last time

you will be cooking as the head chef of Qingfeng House,

why don't you, the famous Magic Chef of Ice and Fire,

use the four of us as inspiration

to make one dish for each of us?

You won't refuse, right?
