The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World

Though the operation seemed somewhat chaotic, Fu Yu executed it with an underlying order, clearly showing the trace of his actions, with each step timed perfectly.

When the three fish fillets were scooped out, the shaping was already done, and significantly, much time had been saved.

Fu Yu started placing more fish fillets into the oil pan.

This time, he put in ten fillets directly in succession.

Still maintaining a five-second interval between them.

Fu Yu stood in front of the oil pan, holding chopsticks, fully focused on shaping the fillets.

His expression was calm, his movements quick yet orderly. An intricate and time-consuming culinary process was executed by him with a sense of composure and precision.

Liu Yunong leaned over to watch Fu Yu frying the fillets, unconsciously holding her breath, not daring to get too close for fear of disrupting Fu Yu's actions.

The entire pot of fish fillets was scooped out one by one.

Zhao Meng and Yao Shi, in terms of observation, might still be slightly lacking, as they were not familiar with this dish and didn't know what exactly to focus on at the moment.

But Liu Yunong was different.

She had personally attempted to cook this dish and had carefully studied and analyzed it.

So when she saw the same pot of fillets, after being shaped by Fu Yu, each almost had a different curve.

What seemed chaotic at first became obviously categorized when Fu Yu placed the fried fillets on a tray.

At a glance, Liu Yunong realized that Fu Yu was shaping the fish fillets according to the layers of peony petals.

Moreover, Fu Yu had already designed in advance which piece would fit into which layer of the peony petals.

Realizing this, Liu Yunong couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Is it really like this?

The cooking process progressed step by step!

Fu Yu continued frying batch after batch of fish fillets.

Originally, the recipe required each fillet to be fried and shaped individually, but Fu Yu fried them in batches of ten.

When he scooped them out one by one, what seemed like a random placement was actually an intentional categorization according to size and curve.

If Liu Yunong was unsure before, now she was completely certain.

Fu Yu had planned the placement of each fish fillet when they were first sliced.

Subsequent frying and shaping all followed a pre-established design - size and curve had specific shaping standards.

What a clever mind it takes to achieve this!

Plus, his precise control of oil temperature and frying time.

And his astounding hand speed.

Fu Yu was so steady in his actions during frying, as if each frying stage was timed perfectly in his mind.

Knowing when to press certain parts of the fillet with chopsticks, how long to maintain each shape, before moving on.

All of this seemed calibrated, and Fu Yu diligently executed each operation.

Like a precisely programmed cooking machine, each step was perfectly astonishing.

One piece after another was placed into the pan.

Fu Yu increased the number to fifteen fish fillets per batch.

Seeing these fifteen fillets enter the oil pan, everyone's expressions immediately became tense!

Wow, he's raised the difficulty level again!

With the addition of five more fillets, both time management and hand speed requirements became higher!

Liu Yunong couldn't help but say, "Isn't that too many fillets?"

The fillets Fu Yu prepared were all large, and fifteen at once nearly covered the entire oil surface.

Zhao Meng said nothing, but his heart was pounding.

He felt Fu Yu was a bit too eager for success.

The earlier operation was already quite good, steady, without needing to save a paltry ten or eight minutes.

The frying is almost complete, it's rash to take a risk like this.

Even confident in Fu Yu, he wasn't sure if the current batch quantity could be handled smoothly.

But if managed well, it'd be impressive!

Frying is different; the shorter the cooking time, the better to preserve taste and texture.

But... attempting to fry fifteen fillets at once is awfully difficult!

Beyond timing, shaping during frying is crucial, but with so many, it becomes challenging; failure means a wasted batch, fewer pieces, and an unappealing final presentation.

This was why Zhao Meng felt it was better to be cautious, even if it meant taking longer.

Everyone became worried since Fu Yu's speed with ten fillets was already incredibly fast and seemed at the limit.

In terms of their speed, faster was impossible.

He had to time everything right, uniquely shape each fillet, and control frying time.

Especially after adding five more fillets.

This is incredibly challenging!

But now that the fillets are in the oil, it's too late to say anything.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Fu Yu, but... his face showed no trace of panic or uncertainty.

He stood steady in front of the oil, his hands moving methodically, rapidly yet with an inexplicable calmness.

Doing each batch of ten fillets initially would've worked; it'd be a bit slower, but overall impact would be minor.

Yet Fu Yu had a clear understanding of his abilities. He thought perhaps he could push the limits, so with his speed and temperature control skill, adding five more fillets might still be manageable.

So, Fu Yu boldly tried.

This was a skill Fu Yu learned from Liu Yunong: self-assessment!

This self-assessment means having a clear understanding of one's culinary grasp.

In assuring stability, strive to improve the dish's taste and texture.

Hearing Liu Yunong's query, Fu Yu's lips curved up as he replied, "Not too many, just right!"

At this moment, Fu Yu held the chopsticks, swiftly and deftly sculpting the fillets' curves.

One fillet just finished, and his chopsticks moved to the next.

Even with the surface almost fully covered, he knew precisely when each fillet hit the oil.

His seemingly random chopsticks wielding accurately pressed the fillets at the perfect frying point, adapting immediately.

Pressing the fillet meant not waiting, because each was perfectly fried as his chopsticks reached it.

Not a second too soon, not a second too late.

Clearly, Fu Yu's temperature and frying mastery were exceptional.

The onlookers were rendered speechless.

They stared wide-eyed at Fu Yu.

Was such coordination and precision truly possible?

Timing the shaping perfectly with frying completion time, achieving unmatched hand-speed and time control.

Are you kidding me?

Yao Shi, usually reserved, couldn't help but whisper, "Holy crap! Amazing!"
