The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World

Chapter 409: Chapter 406: How Is This Even Possible? (Double-Length Chapter)

Standing once again in front of the grill, Fu Yu’s entire demeanor had changed.

When Zhang Jinyu came back, Fu Yu instructed, ”Go prepare some ingredients for me, I need to head over to the Red Case District.”

Zhang Jinyu quickly obliged, following Fu Yu to the Red Case District.

Zhao Meng and Sun Qingning were each occupying a cooking station, busy cooking.

Seeing Fu Yu approaching, Zhao Meng asked in surprise, ”The orders are all done?”

Fu Yu, looking at the scene which seemed like a rewind of time, blinked and replied, ”No, I need to use the pot.”

Zhao Meng knew the order Fu Yu received was very important, so without a second thought, he gave up his cooking station, ”Just use this.”

As soon as the wok was on the stove, Zhao Meng moved to the next burner and turned on the heat.

Fu Yu didn’t stand on ceremony.

After preparing the sauce, he took it back to the grilling area.

This time, Fu Yu wasted no time, skillfully grilling the last flavor of seafood, handed it over to Zhang Jinyu to pack, and let the delivery courier take it away.

Upon hearing that the delivery had already been sent out, those in the know felt a sense of relief.

Fu Yu continued to stay in the grilling area, with several meal orders already piling up.

Zhang Jinyu, having a moment of free time, continued to watch Bo Ming’s live stream.

Perhaps because everyone at the restaurant was paying attention, the delivery courier was particularly fast this time.

From the restaurant completing the order to delivering it to the door, it took less than twenty minutes.

Five minutes later.

In the live stream, Bo Ming finally announced that all the takeout had been delivered, and was now starting the barbecue takeout review.

There were a total of seven restaurants.

Bo Ming began to unpack the takeout according to the delivery order.

Compared to the others, the most elaborate and exquisite packaging belonged to Four Seas Banquet and Qianlima.

Mainly because although the other restaurants were old barbecue brands, their scale was not as large as these two, and barbecue takeout packaging itself didn’t have many variations.

A large number of meat skewers wouldn’t cost more than 200 yuan, while a takeout seafood meal from Qianlima, starting at four to five hundred yuan, wouldn’t balk at investing dozens of yuan in packaging.

In small barbecue places, they would rather charge extra for a garlic bulb.

Amidst a sea of insulated bags and transparent plastic lunchboxes, Qianlima’s unique wooden packaging boxes appeared all the more high-end and classy.

Four Seas Banquet used high-quality plastic lunchboxes, the packaging also looked sophisticated, but compared to Qianlima, it appeared slightly inferior.

In the live stream, as the takeout boxes from the seven restaurants made their debut, the screen was instantly filled with a lively chatter of comments.

Fans praised the sophisticated look of Qianlima’s takeout packaging.

Zhang Jinyu quickly turned to report to Fu Yu, ”Chef Fu, everyone’s praising our takeout packaging as high-class!”

Fu Yu smiled calmly, thinking that this was just the beginning!

In the live stream.

Bo Ming, along with Feng Xiaoxiao and Brother Hua, personally organized all the takeout one by one.

As the lids of the food boxes were opened, the camera zoomed in, capturing close-ups of each takeout dish.

This allowed the fans to clearly see the presentation of each takeout meal.

The camera moved from left to right.

Grilled meat skewers, veggie skewers, various items cooked in foil, grilled seafood, a variety of meat and veggie barbecue pieces without skewers in intricately packaged boxes, and meticulously insulated roasted lamb spines.

Only a few takeouts could fit into the frame, the rest had to be set aside for convenience.

Qianlima took up half of the display area with five extra-large takeout boxes.

As soon as the first wooden box was opened, the three stream hosts and their audience marveled together in awe.

A wooden box had three layers, the first divided into two compartments.

On the left, two grilled saury neatly aligned, heads and tails opposite, neatly placed on long slices of cucumber, with diagonally opposite grooves each holding a halved deep green lime.

The right side held six grilled abalones, each adorned with a wedge of lemon, barely half a centimeter from the abalone, yet stable and not tipping over.

The dishes in the same layer of the box each stayed distinct and separated from one another.

Refreshing to the eyes, the aroma of seafood whetted one’s appetite.

Women are naturally unable to resist beautiful things.

Feng Xiaoxiao admired the plating of the grilled saury and abalones, exclaiming, ”This is the first time I’ve seen such a beautifully plated takeout.”

Brother Hua, having previously ordered Qianlima’s seafood takeout, remained calm, helping Bo Ming remove the first layer to reveal the seafood on the second.

Large, plump shrimp were skewered on bamboo sticks, heads and tails aligned, their backs cleaned of veins, encased in a bright, light-colored sauce.

Each shrimp head had a fresh mint leaf atop, its vibrant color making the shrimp even more tempting.

But that was not the most astonishing sight.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice all the shrimp legs were intact and neatly arranged beneath, with the base of the box lined with clean, translucent lemon slices; the grilled shrimp rested atop, with their legs pushed into the lemon to stay in place.

”How did they do this?” Bo Ming noticed this detail and couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
