Food Wars: Food Wars

Tang Yi travels through Food Wars! with the Great Gourmet System. Any food will be copied after being tasted by his divine tongue. With S-class kitchen utensils in hand, he will bring a storm of food to Totsuki Academy! “Tang, the World Gourmet Club sent an invitation yesterday. They want to eat the food you cooked.” “Let them wait. Beautiful women are given priority.”

Food Wars: Shokugeki no Gourmet
001 Great Gourmet
“System loading… Synchronization rate 100.0000%… Loading completed.”
“The language system is being implanted…language synchronization completed…”
“I am organizing the recipes… The recipes are complete…”
“The system is officially launched. Dear host, the great gourmet Yi is at your service.”
The voice that sounded in my mind was mechanical and neutral at first, and then it became a girl’s voice.
What Tang Yi saw was a bizarre and colorful world, and he felt like everything was a dream.
Floating around him are golden recipes and handed-down delicacies. Everything here is the ultimate thing a chef dreams of.
“Host, host?”
The girl’s voice sounded again, bringing Tang Yi back to his senses. He then realized that there was a fairy-like little girl with small wings in front of him.
No, she is a fairy!
A non-human with wings.
“What are you?”
“I am the Great Gourmet ‘Yi’, and I am also the core of the Great Gourmet System. This system will train the host to become the world’s top chef, the God of Cooking!”
“The God of Cooking?”
“Host, please choose two of the following four rewards. Once selected, it cannot be changed. This system provides free teaching and training of cooking skills, but if you want any recipe, ingredient, kitchenware, or cooking skill, you need to redeem the corresponding food points.”
Before Tang Yi could understand what was said, four things appeared before his eyes.
The first thing, floating on the left hand side, is a sharp knife, about twenty-one centimeters long, with a slender blade and a cold glow on the blade.
“This is the King of Chefs’ Blade, an S-level kitchen utensil used by a former King of Chefs. It is indestructible and can easily dissect a beef bull. For a chef, a knife is like his wife, and is very worthy of cherishing.”
Yi was explaining at the side, and Tang Yi was secretly complaining. Although what he said was not wrong, it always felt a bit weird to compare him to his wife.
Tang Yi turned his eyes and looked at the second item.
It was a golden tongue, floating in the air, looking a little weird.
“This is the tongue of God. Yi also has the tongue of God, but this is different from Yi’s ability to taste delicious food. If you choose it, once you taste a dish, you can analyze the ingredients and cooking methods of the dish in a very short time. Here, Yi highly recommends this. It is as powerful as Kakashi’s copy of the Sharingan!”
“You know Kakashi too?”
“Of course, besides eating, great gourmets still read comics occasionally.”
Tang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to admit that this divine tongue was indeed an extremely powerful ability.
Among the things he was familiar with, similar ones included the Sharingan, the Copy Eyes, etc.
Then, Tang Yi looked at the third thing.
It was a hazy ball of light, ice-blue in color. Looking at it, one could feel a cool breath.
“This is the power of ice, an S-level cooking skill. If you want to make some ice dishes, or cold dishes or platters, this ability is highly recommended. It would be even better if you use it in the summer.”
The power of ice?
To put it simply, it is probably about adding a cool force into the cooking process to make the quality of the dishes even better.
Seeing this super-common sense ability, Tang Yi quickly looked at the fourth thing.
It was also a hazy ball of light, orange-yellow in color, and I could feel a wave of heat coming towards me.
“This is the power of fire, which is also an S-level cooking skill. If used together with the power of ice above, it can create the legendary Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire cuisine. If you want to choose, select both the power of ice and the power of fire.”
After saying that, Yi blinked and looked at Tang Yi with interest.
“Okay, the introduction is over. Host, it’s time to tell me your choice.”
Without any hesitation, Tang Yi stated his decision.
“I want the Kitchen King’s Blade and the God’s Tongue.”
“I thought you would definitely choose the power of ice and fire. Can you tell me why you chose these two?”
The goblin said curiously.
“If your introduction is consistent with the actual situation, then, for me, cooking utensils and the tongue of God are more helpful at this stage. Besides, didn’t you say that cooking skills can be exchanged? In other words, I will have plenty of opportunities to obtain these two abilities in the future.”
“I see. As expected of the host, you are very thoughtful. Then, Yi, let me confirm one last time. Do you want to choose the Blade of the Kitchen King and the Tongue of God?”
“confirm.”
Tang Yi nodded solemnly.
The next moment, the floating Kitchen King’s Blade was put into a black leather case and put into his inner pocket, hanging there quietly.
At the same time, the golden divine tongue turned into starlight and poured into Tang Yi’s mouth.
“Your selection is over, host. Next, we will begin the transmission. Target: aphrodisiac… No, Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma, Chinese restaurant Qingfenglou. You are a kitchen helper.”
Before Tang Yi could ask detailed questions, the colorful world around him began to disappear, the golden recipe was disintegrating, and a new world was slowly being constructed.

My head hurts !
Tang Yi felt as if he had experienced a major earthquake and his head ached badly.
When I regained my vision, I saw a room that looked like a food storage room. A lot of smoked meat was hanging on several shelves.
“Are you dreaming?”
Tang Yi quickly opened his inner pocket, and the Kitchen King’s Blade in his dream was lying there quietly.
“It’s true, the tongue of God…”
Tang Yi smacked his lips again and was immediately surprised to find that his sense of taste had almost undergone a revolution, improving by who knows how many times.
It s all true!
Tang Yi couldn’t help but feel his heart beating faster. If the Great Gourmet System was real, didn’t it mean that it was not impossible for him to become a cooking god?
Tang Yi, 16 years old, male, height 175 cm, weight 59 kg.
He has a handsome appearance and is quite popular in school.
But Tang Yi knew clearly that this popularity was due to his father being a national-level chef, not because of his superb cooking skills.
In reality, the situation is different from what we would like.
Tang Yi’s father never taught Tang Yi how to cook. Apart from asking him to practice knife skills every day, he only allowed him to watch and learn on his own.
Tang Yi has a high talent. After watching for a long time, he naturally knows a lot. But it is precisely because of his high talent that he knows how superb his father’s cooking skills are. The distance is hopeless and there is no possibility of surpassing him.
But now it s different, with the Great Gourmet System, surpassing is not impossible.
No, not just his father, Tang Yi’s ambition is growing, he wants to surpass everything and become the God of Cooking!

Becoming a chef god
Tang Yi kept repeating this unattainable goal, his heart burning with excitement.
“Tang Yi, what are you doing? I asked you to get something but you’re still here now?”
The door of the food storage room was suddenly opened, and a slightly fat young man walked in. When he saw Tang Yi in a daze, he became even more furious.
“What are you doing?”
What are you doing?
Tang Yi was slightly startled, and then a memory flooded into his mind.
As I recall, he was a kitchen helper at the Chinese restaurant Qingfenglou, which means he was the one who helped the real chef to cut vegetables and prepare side dishes, and occasionally he also had to clean the place.
Tang Yi understood and looked up at the young man in front of him.
The other person had a typical Asian face and was wearing a chef’s uniform, with a snow-white upper body and black lower body, and a chef’s hat on his head, standard kitchen attire.
At the same time as seeing him, Tang Yi also understood who the other person was.
“Chef Yao, why are you here? Isn’t the kitchen busy?”
“Busy, almost too busy! If you hadn’t been gone for half an hour, do you think I would have come to see you?”
The chef named Yao sneered at him angrily.
As he spoke, he ignored Tang Yi and walked to the refrigerator and took out two mackerels.
Tang Yi asked quickly, “Chef Yao, didn’t you ask me to get the pork belly? Why are you suddenly going to cook fish?”
“I’ll talk about my business later. Come and help me. Bring me the ginger, chives, and special refrigerated tofu over there.”
Chef Yao seemed very anxious. He raised his chin at Su Yi, signaling him to act quickly.
Seeing this, Tang Yi had no choice but to help.
The two of them quickly walked out of the storage room and headed towards the kitchen. Tang Yi took this opportunity to ask quickly. He instinctively felt that something seemed to have happened in the kitchen.
“This is a big problem. This is the biggest crisis that Qingfeng Tower has ever faced.” As soon as he spoke, Chef Yao’s face turned into a knot. “People from the resort are here to inspect. They want to review the qualifications of Qingfeng Tower. If the review fails, we will have to move out of this resort!!”
“Inspection?” Tang Yi was stunned for a moment.
“That’s right. You’ve only been here for less than two months, so you don’t know the situation yet. Let me tell you, our Qingfeng Tower, including all the restaurants nearby, belongs to the Yuanyue Resort. Every few months, the resort will come to inspect and review our qualifications. If we can’t cook food that satisfies the reviewers, we will be kicked out!”
Now Tang Yi understood, but Yuanyue Resort… always sounded so familiar.
By the way, before the Great Gourmet System teleported him here, it seemed that it said that the destination was Food Wars!
Is this the world of anime!?
“The last review was four months ago. You don’t know the situation back then. Qingfeng Tower almost ceased to exist. And this time it’s really going to be a failure. No one expected that the reviewer this time would be that man!”
“That man?”
“That’s him, the general manager of Totsuki Resort, the former number one of the Totsuki Ten, the Dojima Gin!!!”
Chef Yao spoke in a mournful tone, his voice was very shrill, as if he had already determined that Qingfeng Tower would be doomed.
Tang Yi was also surprised. Of course he knew Dojima Gin. He was a top chef with terrifying cooking skills.
It would probably be difficult to cook food that would satisfy such a person.
“So, this time, Chef Wang is personally cooking and preparing the extremely difficult ‘Mackerel Thousand Threads Noodles’. This is already a gamble! Tang Yi, let me tell you, if Qingfenglou is kicked out because of Dojima Gin’s evaluation, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to survive in the Japanese culinary world. By then, we can only go to China.”
Tang Yi felt deeply saddened when he heard this. He did not expect the situation to be so serious.
But in reality, he doesn’t care. It doesn’t matter where he practices his cooking skills. No matter what, he will climb to the top of the chef list.
The two of them exchanged a few words and returned to the kitchen.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a scream.
“Oh no! Chef Wang cut his hand!”
Someone said this, and the voice spread throughout the kitchen.
Chef Yao’s body trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale.
“It’s over, it’s over… How did I cut my hand? How can I make thousand-thread noodles like this?”
Tang Yi also looked curiously, and saw a man in his forties sitting at the chef’s seat. He covered his left index finger and gritted his teeth to endure the pain.
Is that Chef Wang?
Out of curiosity, Tang Yi walked over, but suddenly heard a few people whispering in his ears.
“He must have done it on purpose. Anyway, his cooking skills have deteriorated. It’s impossible for him to make thousand-thread noodles.”
“That’s right. Although it’s a bit embarrassing to ask him to come at this time, there’s no need to cut off his own finger.”
The comment was quiet, but a bit harsh.
Tang Yi shook his head and ignored him. He walked to Chef Wang and looked at him with concern.
His finger was definitely injured and bleeding profusely. Someone was bandaging it, and it looked like the wound had been cut to the bone.
There is really no way to treat such an injury. Even if you force yourself, it is impossible to make a perfect meal.
Tang Yi sighed. He didn’t expect to encounter such a thing just after coming to this world.
“Mackerel Thousand-Thread Noodles, it’s a pity that I have never heard of this dish…”
While thinking secretly in his heart, Tang Yi suddenly saw a cookbook next to the cooking table.
The menu was open, and Tang Yi started to take a look.
“Thousand-thread Noodles with Mackerel”.
The preparation process of this dish was recorded above. Tang Yi only read it once and roughly understood it.
“The problem is the soup…”
Thinking of this, Tang Yi discovered that there was already a prepared soup placed next to the recipe.
With a hint of curiosity, he picked up the spoon, scooped up a little and tasted it.
When the soup entered his mouth, Tang Yi felt his taste buds explode in an instant!
At this moment, the Tongue of God is fulfilling its mission perfectly.
Mackerel, ginger, heat, time, oil, ginger…
Everything is clear in my mind.
It was as if this soup was cooked by him personally, and he could even taste the mistakes and imperfections in it!
“God’s Tongue… so, so powerful!” Tang Yi murmured in shock.
At this moment, the man who was bandaging Chef Wang happened to see Tang Yi’s action. His face immediately changed and he shouted: “What are you doing! This is the dish that Chef Wang worked so hard to prepare and will be tasted by the reviewer later!!”
003 Amazing Knife Skills (Old Version)
(Jun Yang: 110, welcome book friends to join the group to chat~~)
Suddenly someone roared loudly beside him, which really scared Tang Yi.
“Um?”
Huh!? Seeing that he didn t understand his mistake at all, the man s face turned red with anger again, Tang Yi, this bowl of soup is related to the fate of all of us in Qingfeng Tower! You you actually ruined it! How hateful!
Tang Yi also recognized this person. He was the lobby manager of Qingfeng Building, a Japanese named Sanjo Masayoshi. Counting from the top, he was the boss and the third person under the general manager.
“Forget it, Manager Sanjo, don’t blame him. It was also a failure.”
After bandaging the wound, Chef Wang waved his hand tiredly and said, “Even if he didn’t drink, I can’t finish the Thousand Silk Noodles in my current state. I can only say that this is the fate of our Qingfeng Tower.”
Upon hearing this, Sanjo Zhengtai immediately became anxious. If he was really kicked out, he would be burdened with this stain and it would be difficult for him to find a job in the future.
“Chef Wang, it’s just a cut on my finger. You see, the soup is already done. The rest can be handed over to other chefs to help, right?”
Without waiting for Chef Wang to answer, Chef Yao, who was carrying the ingredients, shook his head dejectedly and said, “No, there are two difficulties in making mackerel noodles. One is the soup, and the other is the noodles. You need to cut a piece of tofu into noodles as thin as hair… No one can do this except Chef Wang.”
“Beans, tofu? Isn’t it noodles?” Sanjo Masayoshi was stunned.
Although he was not a chef, he was the one who managed the daily affairs of Qingfeng Tower. The difficulty of cutting a piece of tofu into thousands of strips seemed impossible to him just by thinking about it.
What kind of knife skills does this require?
The kitchen suddenly became quiet, and everyone’s face was filled with despair. It was foreseeable that if they could not prepare dishes that satisfied the reviewers, their fate would not be a good one.
At this moment, a voice broke the silence.
“Can I try it?”
“you?”
Everyone was shocked at first, but when they saw who the spokesperson was, they sighed again. Sanjo Masayoshi said unhappily, “What can a kitchen helper like you do? Forget it, I was wrong just now, and you don’t have to cause trouble for me.”
Tang Yi was quite surprised to hear this. This Japanese guy didn’t look bad.
“Manager Sanjo, I can really give it a try.”
Seeing Tang Yi asking again, San Tiao Zhengtai couldn’t help but frown, “Can you make that… Mackerel Thousand-Thread Noodles?”
“Yes…” Tang Yi nodded subconsciously, and then added, “Probably.”
“What does that mean? Are you having fun playing tricks on me?” Sanjo Masayoshi said angrily.
Chef Wang frowned at this time and said, “Tang Yi, I know you are enthusiastic, but mackerel noodles is a unique dish of our school. How do you know how to make it?”
“I just looked at your recipe.” Tang Yi shrugged, a little embarrassed.
After all, it was a peek at someone else’s recipe, which is a very serious matter among chefs.
“You saw it? Hey, I thought you knew how to do it. You mean, after you saw it once, you think you can do it?”
Chef Wang was quite disappointed, as he did have a little expectation before.
After all, for him, Qingfeng Tower is where he has worked for more than ten years.
“I think I can do it.” Tang Yi thought about the recipe and said simply, “Overall, it’s not that difficult. First, fry the mackerel and then put it into the soup. The focus here is on the overall taste of the dish, so the soup must be well made. Then slice the tofu, then cut it into strips, soak it in warm water, and finally put it into the soup, and the mackerel noodles are ready.”
So simple!
This is the voice of everyone in the kitchen. Anyone with a little cooking skill knows that it is easy to say but very difficult to do.
If we grade dishes, this dish would be at least A-level in difficulty.
After hearing what Tang Yi said, Chef Wang, the maker of this dish, shook his head helplessly and said, “Tang Yi, do you know the two major difficulties of this dish?”
“Difficulty? You mean soup and shredded?”
“Yes. Soup is very process-oriented. The same process, but done by different people, will result in very different tastes.”
Chef Wang said earnestly that he looked at Tang Yi as a junior. After all, apart from Tang Yi, there was no one else who could stand up and say “I’ll try” at this time.
“Don’t worry, I’ve tasted the soup you made and I can make it to the same standard.” Tang Yi nodded and said.
In fact, he was understating it, because the Tongue of God could taste the flaws and imperfections, so he could improve them when cooking.
Of course, improvement comes with risks.
Chef Wang smiled when he heard this, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking for a while, he said, “What about shredding? Shredding tofu is a test of a chef’s basic skills. It’s difficult to shred tofu without more than ten years of training.”
“Don’t worry about that. I first picked up a kitchen knife when I was three years old. I’m sixteen now. My father also asked me to practice by slicing tofu.”
Tang Yi said seriously that in fact, after the Thousand Silks, there is a level of Ten Thousand Silks. Of course, that is a legend, and even Tang Yi’s father could not do it.
Everyone in the kitchen was a little surprised to hear what he said.
Chef Wang looked at Tang Yi deeply for a few times, then gritted his teeth and said, “Manager San Tiao, please let him try. If he fails, I will bear all the consequences!”
“Chef Wang…” Sanjo Zhengtai’s expression changed again and again, and finally nodded helplessly, saying: “Tang Yi, it’s up to you! Your success or failure will determine the fate of everyone!”
“Yes, I will try my best.”
Tang Yi shrugged.
Although he said so much just now, in fact, he just wanted to try the mackerel thousand-thread noodles he had just learned.
I feel like I can do it well, but I’m not absolutely sure about the actual situation.
Nodding, Tang Yi walked towards the chef’s seat.
“Chef Yao, please bring the new special frozen tofu over. I’ll cut it into strips first. This is easier.”
“Keep it simple…”
Chef Yao was furious. The most difficult thing was to cut the food into shreds. Of course, he just said this in his heart. Upon hearing this, he handed over the food in his hand.
Tang Yi took the tofu and took out the Chef’s Blade he had just obtained from his inner pocket.
Taking a deep breath, he began to move.
First open the packaged rennet tofu, then turn it over and cut off a corner. Then, gently tap the bottom of the box with the blade of the knife, and finally, hold the box and slowly lift it up.
In this way, the tofu is poured onto the chopping board intact.
After finishing all this, Tang Yi officially started cutting.
A piece of tofu should be cut into thousands of strips, and each strip should be of uniform thickness and not loose. This is the basic requirement!
Tang Yi was seen holding the chef’s knife, cutting with his wrist suspended. He cut with great decisiveness, one cut after another, and thin slices were quickly produced.
“So skilled, great knife skills, great knife!”
Chef Wang’s eyes lit up and he said three good words in a row.
Not to mention him, even Sanjo Zhengtai, a layman, was stunned by Tang Yi’s actions.
That already has a bit of artistic beauty. Even a layman would feel that it is amazing and magical when looking at it.
Sanjo Zhengtai suddenly stepped forward, bowed and apologized, his tone was extremely sincere: “Tang Yi, I’m really sorry, I was wrong just now. Please save Qingfenglou, and afterwards, I want to promote you to head chef, with an annual salary of tens of millions!”
Everything he said was not in Tang Yi’s attention, and was even automatically filtered out. His mind was completely immersed in the slice.
“What a sharp knife, what a light knife! This knife… is countless times better than any other knife I have ever used!”
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!

004 Dojima Gin (old version)
Da da da
The Chef’s Blade slices the special frozen tofu. Every time the knife falls, it gently touches the chopping board, making a pleasant sound.
Sanjo Zhengtai does not have excellent cooking skills, but at this moment, watching Tang Yi cutting tofu, he felt like he was sitting in an opera house and enjoying a melodious musical.
This person is actually cooking, but it also seems like he is composing music.
Tang Yi concentrated his attention, holding the chef’s blade with his wrist high, and cut each piece accurately. Every piece of tofu he cut was of even thickness.
“The slicing is done, the next step is shredding.”
Suddenly, Tang Yi muttered something to himself, and the blade turned, from slowly slicing to quickly shredding.
The rhythm suddenly changed, as if the music was reaching its climax!
The people watching around didn’t react until then. They looked at each other and were secretly shocked.
His knife skills are much better than those of the best chef here, Chef Wang!
It was really shocking that this little kitchen helper had kept his talents hidden until this moment when he revealed them.
However, after seeing his knife skills, everyone had high expectations for the “Mackerel Thousand-Thread Noodles” made by Tang Yi, hoping that it could bring them a surprise and save Qingfeng Tower from crisis!
“Oh my god, magical Chinese people, mysterious Tang Yi, how did you do it?!”
When the shredding was completed, Sanjo Masayoshi, who had witnessed the entire process, opened his mouth in shock, his face full of disbelief.
The large piece of special tofu on the chopping board is no longer there. Instead, there are thousands of neatly arranged tofu strands, each slightly thicker than a hair!
It s unbelievable that this food can be made with just a kitchen knife.
“Huh… much easier than before.”
Tang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled slightly and talked to himself.
When the people around heard this, they were speechless. How could this be so easy?
Just by looking at it, their hearts were in their throats, and they were always afraid that making a wrong cut would cause all the tofu shreds to be in trouble and ruin the beauty.
However, in fact Tang Yi did feel more relaxed than before.
He knew the reason very well. It was not because his knife skills had suddenly improved, but because of the changes brought about by the S-grade kitchenware.
This chef’s blade really exceeded expectations. Not only is it sharp, but the fact that it can cut tofu without sticking to the blade is enough to make it stand out from the crowd.
Carefully placing the tofu shreds into a large bowl filled with warm water, Tang Yi then began to cook the delicious fish soup.
“Chef Yao.”
“Huh? Um, what’s going on?”
“Please help cut the side dishes. I’m afraid of making people wait anxiously.” Tang Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chef Yao’s fat face trembled and he started to help without saying a word.
Just now, the other party was his kitchen assistant, but in a short while, the status of both parties changed dramatically, and it was Tang Yi’s turn to help.
However, Chef Yao was also very excited in his heart. Personally participating in the cooking of the difficult dish “Mackerel Thousand-Thread Noodles” would be helpful for his future improvement in cooking skills.
“Okay, Chef Tang.”
“Chop the ginger first, then the chives.”
Tang Yi was so focused on cooking that he didn’t even hear the other party’s change in address.
“Fine salt.”
“Here, Chef Tang.”
Chopped green onions.
“Here.”
“salad oil.”
“Okay.”
“Do this for now, and turn the fish over after fifty seconds, not even a second longer.”
“learn.”
The cooking was proceeding in an orderly manner. While Tang Yi was directing Chef Yao to help, he was also paying close attention to the preparation of the soup.
The heat, temperature, time, every detail is carried out perfectly under the tasting analysis of the Tongue of God.
Qingfenglou belongs to the Yuanyue Resort and is the only Chinese restaurant in the area.
The store is not big, it can even be said to be the smallest, with only three floors. The lower and middle floors are for the public, and the upper floor is reserved for VIPs.
On the third floor, which is decorated with a strong Chinese style, behind the screen, there is an antique mahogany dining table, and sitting beside the table is a muscular man with a crew cut.
His name is Gin Dojima.
The head chef of Totsuki Resort.
He was once the first of the Ten Greatest Totsuki Masters.
Graduates with the highest scores.
At this time, he was sitting back in his chair with his hands folded across his chest, staring at the empty dining table in a daze.
“So slow. How long has it been?”
“General, it has been an hour since we entered the door.”
Next to Dojima Gin stood a man in a suit. When he heard the question, he also looked down at the time record.
“An hour has passed and you still haven’t come up with a decent meal. I think I can only judge you as unqualified.”
“Yes, I’m sorry! The kitchen said it will be ready soon!” A waiter apologized repeatedly.
“Right away? But the rule is one hour…” Dojima Gin said seriously, but suddenly stopped halfway through his words.
He reached out and touched his nose, then looked outside the screen.
Sure enough, someone was walking towards this side with a plate in hand.
“Sorry for the wait.”
Tang Yi walked around the screen and saw Dojima Gin at a glance. He smiled and said, “A good delicacy must be cooked strictly. I hope that Chief Dojima will forgive me.”
Dojima Gin stared at Tang Yi with a hint of surprise in his eyes, “You are the best chef here? You are so young.”
“No, I’m just a kitchen helper.”
“Kitchen helper?” Dojima Gin was slightly startled, his eyes stopped on Tang Yi’s hand holding the plate, “This wasn’t made by you?”
“I made this dish, it’s called…” Tang Yi slowly placed the mackerel noodles on the table and was about to start introducing it.
But unexpectedly someone interrupted.
The man who had been recording the review time frowned and said, “What a joke! First you wasted time, and now… Are you guys in Qingfeng Tower crazy? Who do you think this gentleman is? He is…”
“That’s enough, you better shut up.”
Dojima Gin waved his hand, his eyes completely attracted by the food on the table.
Is this your cooking?
“Yes, it’s called Mackerel Thousand Thread Noodles.”
“It looks like just ordinary noodles. My dear brother, you have exceeded the time limit, but I will still taste it. If it is not satisfactory, I will directly fail you.”
“Of course, if it’s unqualified, it’s unqualified. I don’t think anyone will complain.” Tang Yi smiled faintly and made a gesture of invitation, “Please enjoy your meal, General Dojima.”
Nodding, Dojima Gin had a good impression of Tang Yi.
Immediately, he picked up the chopsticks, gently reached into the bowl, picked up four or five thin noodles, and put them into his mouth.
As soon as this noodle enters the mouth, a cool, spring-like, silky touch bursts out in the mouth!
“Um?!”
Dojima Gin’s eyes widened for a moment.
006 Dream Kitchen (Old Version)
Totsuki Academy, whose full name is Totsuki Saryo Culinary Academy.
Teahouse means a small room for drinking tea in a temple, or it may be a restaurant.
This college has a three-year system for both the middle and high school divisions, and other high school graduates have the same qualifications for admission. However, it is very difficult to graduate, with a graduation rate of less than 10%.
All in all, it is one of the most elite culinary schools in Japan.
It is now the end of March and spring break is about to end. If Tang Yi wants to enroll in school, the decision time given is also this week.
Just as he was staring at the business card in a daze, Tang Yi heard San Tiao Zhengtai’s voice again in his ears.
“Tang Yi, you did a great job! You saved our Qingfeng Building. According to the previous agreement in the kitchen, I will ask the general manager to appoint you as one of the chefs of Qingfeng Building, with an annual salary of 10 million!”
The status of a chef and an assistant chef is vastly different. Apart from anything else, their income alone is worlds apart.
Tang Yi’s current monthly salary is 200,000 yen, and his annual salary is about 2.5 million yen, which has increased by four times.
Although the money was huge, Tang Yi was still stunned for a while. “Is this true?”
Hearing him say this, Sanjo Masatsu thought he was dissatisfied, and hurriedly tried to persuade him: “Tang Yi, no, Chef Tang, I know your cooking skills are worth more than this amount of money, but please understand that seniority is also a very important indicator in Japan. I promise that as long as you nod, I can give you a 10% increase in the second year! And then every year thereafter, it will increase by this amount until you have worked for 10 years!”
This was a great temptation. As long as he worked here for ten years, Tang Yi would become a rich man. Moreover, he would only be 26 years old at that time.
However, Tang Yi shook his head and said, “Manager Sanjo, that’s not what I meant. I appreciate your invitation, but I have already decided that I want to go to Yuanyue College.”
“Go, go to the college?” Everyone was shocked.
“Yes, that’s what Dojima Gin meant when he gave me his business card just now.” Su Yi shrugged and said, “In fact, Manager, my cooking skills are not as good as you think. It’s just that the dish I made this time is what I’m good at. So, in order to improve my cooking skills, I have to go to Totsuki Academy. I’m really sorry.”
“That’s right, Tang Yi, you are still young, and young people should go out more often.” Sanjo Zhengtai felt sorry for it and just smiled reluctantly, “Since you have made up your mind, I can’t stop you. But Qingfeng Tower welcomes you back anytime. How about this, Yao Chu, I will give you a day off tomorrow, and you can drive Tang Yi to the college. It’s almost April now, so it’s better to go earlier.”
“No problem. Tang Yi, you have to work hard in the academy and don’t embarrass the Chinese chefs!”
Chef Yao’s fat face was full of seriousness. He raised his fist and hit Tang Yi hard.
Tang Yi smiled, “Of course!”
Chinese cuisine, the eight major Chinese cuisines, and thousands of delicacies are the best in the world. Although he doesn’t know much, he is still good at a few things. No matter what, he will not bring shame to Chinese cuisine!
“I’m tired today and I want to go back and rest first.” After a pause, Tang Yi looked at San Tiao Zhengtai again.
“Go ahead, Tang Yi, have a good rest, and report to the college tomorrow.” Sanjo Zhengtai said generously.
Nodding, Tang Yi packed up his things and left Qingfeng Tower.
As a staff member of Yuanyue Resort, there are special dormitory buildings provided. Of course, you still have to pay rent, and the price varies depending on the level of the room.
In Tang Yi’s situation, he can only rent the cheapest house with a monthly rent of 150,000 yuan. Of course, the living conditions are very good. If he were to live somewhere else, the monthly rent would be at least 300,000 yuan.
Thanks to this, most of his monthly income goes to the landlord.
We took the bus back to the dormitory building, which was sixteen stories high. Tang Yi’s room was on the eleventh floor.
After taking the elevator upstairs, Tang Yi finally arrived at his door, but saw a rolled-up piece of paper stuck on the door handle.
“What?”
Tang Yi took it off and opened it, his face suddenly darkened.
This is a message, which roughly means that it’s time to pay the rent.
“Damn it, where would I get the money? The salaries from Qingfeng Building haven’t been paid yet. I should go to Yuanyue Academy as soon as possible. At least there, as long as you have cooking skills, anything can be negotiated!”
That academy follows the law of the jungle. People with excellent cooking skills can do whatever they want and get whatever they want.
“Tomorrow, I’ll go tomorrow!”
Tang Yi crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then opened the door and walked in.
After a tiring whole day, Tang Yi was too lazy to cook dinner. He took off his backpack and lay down on the bed.
After a while, Tang Yi fell asleep.
Tang Yi woke up from his sleep and found himself in a kitchen.
Exquisite kitchen utensils, sparkling, and all kinds of ingredients are available.
Tang Yi was shocked. He opened the refrigerator and saw that it was filled with various high-quality meats and fresh milk.
“Host, welcome to the ‘Dream Kitchen’. I am the great gourmet ‘Yi’.”
Suddenly, a little girl’s sweet voice came from behind.
Tang Yi suddenly turned around and saw the goblin.
“Dream kitchen?”
“Yes, host, this is a place specially provided for you to practice your cooking skills for free. This is your first time here, and I will give you 100 food points.”
“Delicious food?” Tang Yi was stunned for a moment.
“Food points are very useful. You can exchange them for kitchenware, cooking skills, ingredients, recipes, etc. Everything related to food can be exchanged with food points.”
Yi flapped his little wings, flew in the air, and sat down in front of a dining table.
“Hurry, hurry, Yi is so hungry that her stomach is growling. Host, please make something delicious for Yi.”
“I haven’t eaten it myself…” Tang Yi complained in his heart.
The little fairy pouted immediately and said cunningly: “Host, don’t you want food points? As long as you cook food for Yi, Yi will give you food points based on his evaluation after eating it.”
These words made Tang Yi a little moved.
“Yi wants to eat ‘Italian lasagna’ today, host, please make it for me!”
“Huh? I don’t know how.” Tang Yi rolled his eyes, “How about I make Sichuan cuisine for you.”
“No, no, no, Yi wants to eat lasagna today. By the way, I’ll exchange the recipe for the host.”
The little goblin raised her hand and suddenly, a silver recipe book appeared out of thin air and flew into Tang Yi’s hands.
“This is what Yi exchanged for the host’s 100 food points. Host, please make me lasagna, lasagna, lasagna, lasagna…”
“Hey, don’t use my food points casually!!”
Tang Yi suddenly felt overwhelmed.
007 Totsuki Academy (Old Version)
“If you use my food points casually again, be careful or I’ll kill you.”
The Kitchen King’s Blade was against the little goblin’s white neck, and Tang Yi threatened in a sinister tone.
Yes, yes!
Yi was so scared that his face turned green, his pair of little wings shrank into a ball, and he nodded repeatedly at Tang Yi.
“Well, that’s more like it.”
Tang Yi then let her go, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the cookbook and started reading it.
Italian lasagna is a recipe from the food kingdom of Italy. It is a kind of Italian wide noodles, and the main seasoning used is tomatoes or tomato sauce.
The recipe records the cooking steps in detail. As long as you follow them step by step, there will be no problem in making it.
“I say, Yi, if I cook for you, how many gourmet points will you give me?” Tang Yi asked while looking at the silver-colored recipe.
“Host, this depends on your cooking skills. The lowest is 0 and the highest is 100.”
The little goblin calmed down a little, knelt on the chair, and answered seriously.
“0 to 100? It feels a bit like an exam. Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll give it a try.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi put down the recipe and began to look for the necessary ingredients in the kitchen.
At this time, Yi spoke carefully again: “Host, I need to explain a few things to you about the dream kitchen.”
“Ah? Go ahead.”
“First, the Dream Kitchen is provided free of charge, and the flow of time is the same as in the outside world. In other words, if you are here for eight hours, eight hours will also have passed in the outside world. So, please come here every night when you go to bed.”
“I see. I understand.”
“Second, Dream Kitchen provides paid services. If you need to speed up the flow of time, you will need to pay a certain amount of food points, calculated based on the time in the kitchen. For example, if you need a 1:2 time flow rate, you will need to pay 1 food point for every hour you stay in the kitchen. If the time flow rate is 1:3, you will need to pay 2 food points per hour.”
“What’s the use of this?” Tang Yi had just picked two tomatoes and couldn’t help but glance at Yi.
Hearing this, Yi smiled proudly and said, “It is useful. You will definitely need this function sometimes. For example, when you want to master a dish you have just learned…”
“What’s next?” Tang Yi did not comment.
“Third, you are in the dream kitchen, and your body outside will be in a light sleep state. If someone wakes you up, you will be forced to leave the dream kitchen.”
“OK.”
“Fourth, you can bring all the ingredients in the dream kitchen to reality, but you need a gourmet point.”
“That’s right, I knew it. Anything else?” Tang Yi rolled his eyes.
“That’s all for now, host, hurry up and make the lasagna!” Yi drooled and said eagerly, “Yi can’t wait to taste it!”
“Understood. Please wait a moment.”
Tang Yi smiled faintly, put two tomatoes in hot water, and prepared to peel them.
The next day, morning.
Tang Yi packed his things, got into Yao Chu’s car, and headed for Yuanyue College.
“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Chef Yao started the car and glanced at Tang Yi in the passenger seat, only to see that he was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
“No, I’m just a little dizzy from making too many lasagnas. Don’t worry about it. You can drive.”
Tang Yi waved his hand.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Chef Yao had no choice but to shrug and drive the car seriously.
It took a full hour to drive from Yuanyue Resort to Yuanyue College before we finally arrived.
After an hour’s rest, Tang Yi completely recovered his spirit.
After getting off the car, Tang Yi finally saw the Totsuki Saryo Culinary School. It was a magnificent building with many vehicles entering and exiting the gate.
“They are all students from other schools who are here to take the exam, right? Tang Yi, you have the recommendation of President Dojima, so you can go directly to the registration office to register.” Sitting in the car, Chef Yao smiled and said, “Come on!”
“Well, thanks for taking me here. Bye, then.”
Tang Yi smiled and waved his hand, then picked up his backpack and walked into this super elite culinary school.
When he walked inside, he found that there were indeed quite a lot of people. They were all dressed very decently and had guards and butlers with them. They were obviously wealthy people. In comparison, his ordinary casual clothes were totally out of place here.
There was no time to wander around, so Tang Yi directly found the registration office on the large map at the entrance.
After determining the destination, Tang Yi immediately took action.
Not long after, he arrived at the Admissions Office on the first floor of the General Affairs Building.
In the office, there was a female teacher in her twenties, lazily lying on the table. She seemed to hear a knock on the door, she looked up lazily and put on a pair of red-framed glasses.
“Transfer student? Go to the transfer student examination venue. You’ve come to the wrong place, little brother.”
Tang Yi’s eye twitched. This woman didn’t seem to notice that she was exposed. “Teacher, I was recommended by the head chef Dojima Gin.”
“Chief Dojima?”
Hearing this name, the woman perked up all of a sudden. She looked at Tang Yi carefully for a few times before she suddenly realized, “A recommendation letter did come in last night. It turned out to be you. I’m so sorry. Please take a seat first.”
She stood up and straightened her clothes, then invited Tang Yi to come in and sit down.
The office was quite large. Tang Yi was invited to sit on the sofa, and the female teacher poured him a cup of barley tea.
“Please.”
“Thanks.”
“The recommendation letter was submitted last night, but the reply has not yet been conveyed. I will go and ask for you now. Can you sit here for a while?”
“Okay, thank you for your help.”
He suddenly became polite, and Tang Yi couldn’t help but sigh that Dojima Gin’s name was really useful.
Soon, the female teacher left the office.
Tang Yi was drinking barley tea and flipping through food magazines to kill time.
In the corridor on the second floor of the General Affairs Building, two girls were walking quickly, preparing to go downstairs.
“Erina-sama, you will be going to the class examination review next…”
“Let’s put that aside for now. Feishazi, you should know clearly that what I hate most are those who try to take the back door!”
“Are you talking about the student recommended by Chef Dojima? But since it was recommended by Chef Dojima, it should be possible…”
“Hisagi, I am now a member of the Council. Now that I know about this matter, I have the obligation to review it personally…”
The blonde girl said in a domineering tone, and finally, they arrived at the door of the registration office.
Taking a deep breath, the girl suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. “…You are a mediocre cook who can only use backdoors. Totsuki doesn’t need you! Is that you?”
“ha?”
Barley tea was held in the air, and Tang Yi looked at the aggressive blonde girl in confusion.
This girl looks familiar. What’s her name? Erina Nakiri.
008 Erina Nakiri (old version)
The barley tea gave off a faint aroma. Tang Yi half-raised the teacup and glanced sideways at the office door.
Two girls in Totsuki school uniforms were standing there. One of them had orange hair and a delicate face with an expression as proud as a golden peacock. The previous words came from her mouth.
The other one had purple hair, was petite, and was a centimeter shorter than her. She was holding a blue writing board in front of her chest and stood there without saying a word.
The two sides just stared at each other, and the atmosphere in the office was weird.
“Huh?” Tang Yi sighed in confusion.
“Is that you?!”
As if to restore the increasingly delicate atmosphere, Erina Nakiri frowned and had to raise her voice and repeat it again.
Tang Yi looked at it a few more times before looking away. He slowly stood up and filled his barley tea with hot water.
After doing all this, he blew hot air while looking at Erina Nakiri and asked knowingly, “Who are you?”
“No problem, I’ll get started.”
“Wait, I specified that the ingredient is tomato, and you must use it to make a dish!”
Erina Nakiri added another condition.
Tang Yi followed her gaze towards the table where the ingredients were stored, and sure enough, he saw a basket of bright red tomatoes.
He immediately laughed, “What a coincidence! I just learned how to cook a dish. This will be the best!”
009 God’s Tongue ~ Kiss (Old Version)
Italian lasagna!
This is what Tang Yi is going to make. This dish requires tomatoes. Although the method seems a little complicated, he has practiced for ten hours in the dream kitchen last night.
“It normally takes about an hour to make it, but there’s not enough time. It seems we have to operate multiple lines at the same time!”
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yi walked to the food storage table, took all the necessary ingredients to the kitchen counter, and then washed his hands under the faucet.
When a chef is cooking, keeping his hands clean is essential etiquette.
Tang Yi cleaned slowly, not leaving out any possible spot of dirt. He cleaned between the fingers, on the back of the palms, on the wrists, and other places where dirt was easily accumulated three times.
This wasted three minutes.
After washing his hands, he officially started.
In order to ensure completion within half an hour, multi-threaded operation is necessary.
I saw him take three pots first, a deep pot, a frying pan, and an iron pot.
Put an appropriate amount of butter in a frying pan, pour a certain amount of olive oil into a deep pot, and pour ordinary cooking oil into an iron pan.
While adjusting the heat of the three pots, Tang Yi filled a small kettle with cold water and boiled it over high heat.
After finishing all this, Tang Yi reached into his inner pocket and took out the Kitchen King’s Blade that he carried with him.
Walking quickly to the chopping board, Tang Yi peeled the washed carrot. He just turned the Kitchen King’s Blade around the carrot in his left hand, and a layer of carrot skin was accurately taken off, just like a girl shyly taking off her clothes, which was very touching.
The two girls who were watching not far away perked up after seeing this scene.
Regardless of the cooking skills, the knife skills are indeed amazing.
But the more amazing things are yet to come!
The peeled carrots were chopped, the onions were shredded, and the celery was chopped. The chef’s blade flashed quickly under Tang Yi’s control. All his movements were so skillful that they gave people a sense of beauty. There was no hesitation at all. The cut vegetables were very neat, as if they had been carefully calculated.
This guy !
Erina Nakiri had put away her contempt. She bit her thumb and stared at Tang Yi’s cooking.
I have to admit that this guy is really good at cooking. Cooking is like performing acrobatics and is quite entertaining.
Feishazi, who was standing next to her, also showed surprise. She covered her mouth and watched silently.
However, Tang Yi seemed to have forgotten everything, his mind completely immersed in cooking.
Thanks to my knife skills, everything went quickly and smoothly.
Chopped carrots, celery and onions are poured into an iron pan and stir-fried.
While his right hand was stir-frying, Tang Yi’s left hand was not idle either.
The olive oil in the pan had been heated over low heat. At this time, Tang Yi took out the minced beef with his left hand and put it in for stir-frying.
After about five minutes, the vegetables in the iron pan had become fragrant. Tang Yi immediately turned off the fire in the iron pan, quickly poured the vegetables in the pan into the frying pan, and continued to stir-fry.
While stir-frying, free your hands to pour an appropriate amount of cold water, red wine and tomato sauce into the pot.
After stir-frying again, Tang Yi covered the pot and turned the heat down to low.
At this time, the butter in the deep pot had been completely heated and melted. Tang Yi immediately took out flour and milk and poured them in, stirring and cooking. After a while, the butter, milk and flour were completely mixed together and became a paste.
At this point, Tang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, covered the pot, and turned to the kettle.
After about ten minutes of cooking, the water in the pot had completely boiled. Tang Yi took a spoonful of salt and poured it into the boiling water. Then, he put the dough in and boiled it until it was 80% cooked.
“Wow, so amazing!” Feishazi, who was watching quietly not far away, murmured in surprise, “He can operate multiple lines at the same time, and he is orderly and there is no confusion. This is not an ordinary student…”
Having said that, Hisako couldn’t help but glance at Erina Nakiri.
Erina Nakiri was seen biting her thumb, her eyes fixed on Tang Yi, or to be more precise, on Tang Yi’s hands.
Those hands never stopped working since they started cooking.
“Lasagna, it looks like Italian cuisine. In order to finish it in half an hour, this guy shortened the one-hour process to a minimum! And the way he shortened it was by relying on his multi-tasking…”
Seeing this, she already had an intuitive understanding of Tang Yi’s cooking skills.
At least his knife skills are not at the student level. That skilled knife skills are also the basis for making multi-line operations possible!
Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, twenty minutes had passed.
At this time, Tang Yi pushed the baking tray containing the lasagna into the oven.
Heat: 250?
Lower heat: 220?
Time: 10 minutes
As the timer sounded, Tang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Phew…it’s really tiring.”
Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Tang Yi smiled slightly and looked at Erina Nakiri.
“Please wait ten minutes. It will be ready soon.”
Hearing him say this, Nakiri Erina suddenly came over, stared at Tang Yi, and said unhappily: “What do you mean?”
“You made lasagna, which is not a very difficult dish, but it is quite complicated. In order to save time, you cut corners and even shortened the baking time from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. You want me to…” At this point, Nakiri Erina’s face was full of anger, “…you want my divine tongue to taste your second-rate cuisine?!”
Hearing this, Tang Yi’s smile faded a little.
“I admit that I only learned how to cook this dish yesterday, but I didn’t cut corners. Instead, I improved the recipe. As for why it takes ten minutes, you’ll know after you taste it.”
“You just learned it yesterday!?” Nakiri Erina was completely angry and snorted, “Hisako, let’s go. There’s nothing to say to this commoner.”
“Lady Erina…” Arato Hisako looked at Tang Yi, and finally quickly followed.
Wait a minute, Tang Yi rubbed his brows, but seeing that the other party didn t stop at all, he had to shake his head and said, Ah, God s Tongue, God s Tongue, it s so annoying. Let me tell you directly, I also have God s Tongue!
“Varied !”
As soon as these words were spoken, the two girls who were leaving stopped in their tracks, turned around and looked over in surprise.
“What did you say?”
“Huh? I said I have a divine tongue, too.”
“What a joke, a mere commoner…!” Nakiri Erina gritted her teeth and glared at Tang Yi with her beautiful big eyes, “Do you want to insult me?”
Tang Yi wiped his hands with a towel, then slowly walked up to Erina Nakiri and said playfully, “Don’t you believe it?”
“How can a second-rate chef like you understand the greatness of the Tongue of God? It’s like a wild dog can’t appreciate a gem.”
As if her dignity was touched, Erina Nakiri refused to give in.
“Your temper is really weird. Well, well, in order to convince the noble Miss Erina, I will prove it with all my might.”
Tang Yi showed helplessness, and as he spoke, he reached out and pinched Erina Nakiri’s pointed chin, lifting it slightly.
“What do you want to do…”
The proud girl like a golden peacock was startled and asked with a little stuttering.
However, the next moment.
Hmm?!!
The wild dog actually kissed the gem!
Erina Nakiri was completely stunned, her mind went blank.
010 Erina Crying in Angry (Old Version)
(Since so many people are urging me, I will update one more chapter. Remember to give me some flowers. I have to be a long way from being on the new book PK list o(?)o)
Erina Nakiri was stunned and her mind went blank.
I couldn’t believe that I was kissed by a commoner!
“Where is the examiner? We need to take the exam, who will review it for us? Hurry up!”
It was noisy and everyone was talking back and forth, which made Tang Yi frown.
“Quiet!”
He couldn’t help but let out a loud shout, and suddenly, everyone in the audience fell silent, as if they were frightened by him.
“Look at you guys, do you look like a chef? Don’t you know how to keep quiet? If you keep talking, you will drool on the ingredients, idiots!”
His harsh teachings made many students shrink back.
“S-Sorry, where is the examiner? The time is up, we…”
Hearing this, Tang Yi snorted and said unhappily: “I am the examiner. Your performance is too poor. You all failed. Go back to where you came from!”
011 A Magical Misunderstanding (Old Version)
Tang Yi directly judged everyone as unqualified and asked them to get out.
This was like a stone thrown into calm water, and all the candidates present started clamoring and demanding an explanation.
“What a joke! It doesn’t make sense to judge us as failed before the exam even started!”
“That’s right! That’s right! And who are you? Are you the examiner?”
“Even if you are the examiner, we will not obey such unreasonable review results!”
When a large group of people start quarreling, at least in terms of momentum, they will definitely win.
Tang Yi glanced at the group of candidates. They were all about fifteen or sixteen years old, full of youthful vigor. And judging by their clothes, they were all born in wealthy families and had tempers.
What a hassle.
Tang Yi whispered to himself, took off his thick cotton gloves, crossed his arms across his chest and waited quietly for them to finish arguing.
After about four or five minutes, the quarrels and questioning finally died down, and the candidates, noticing the change in atmosphere, quickly became well-behaved and knew how to shut up.
“Are you done?” Tang Yi leaned against the cooking table behind him and spoke naturally, “Such noise, it’s really annoying. Do you doubt that I’m not the examiner? All right, here is a dish I just made. Those of you who think you are good cooks can come out and try it.”
The candidates looked at each other, and no one stepped forward immediately.
Seeing Tang Yi’s behavior, these candidates have already believed it almost completely.
However, some people still murmured quietly: “…This examiner is so young, he is about the same age as us.”
“Who spoke just now?” Tang Yi suddenly spoke, his eyes turned and quickly locked onto the person who had spoken before.
He was a boy with short blond hair, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing all branded clothes and must be worth a lot of money.
The boy was startled when Tang Yi called his name and instinctively wanted to escape, but he found that Tang Yi was already looking at him.
“I-I’m sorry, examiner… I-I didn’t mean it.”
“May I have your name?”
“Kanda Daisora.”
“Kanda, what does your family do?”
Speaking of this, Kanda Ozora seemed to have gained confidence. He raised his voice a little and said, “My family runs a hot spring hotel chain all over the country. For example, the one in Tokyo is very…”
“Okay, come here and try it.” Tang Yi interrupted, pointed at the other person, and then pointed at the lasagna on the baking tray.
Hearing this, Kanda Daisora ??was suddenly startled, looked around, and then walked towards Tang Yi with courage.
He was nervous at first, but when he got closer, he immediately smelled a rich and refreshing fragrance.
As the fragrance entered his nose, Kanda Daisora ??immediately felt gastric acid secreted and a feeling of hunger came from his stomach.
His Adam’s apple moved, and Kanda Daisora ??quickly picked up the knife, cut a small piece of lasagna, and then picked it up with a fork.
When the fragrant lasagna entered his mouth, Kanda Daisora ??only chewed it once and immediately entered a trance state.
Then, I couldn’t help but take the second bite.
“It’s delicious! It’s so delicious that I can’t describe it. The more I eat, the hungrier I get!”
He spoke incoherently while chewing.
“I’ve already had breakfast, but now it seems like I can still eat another big piece!”
The candidates outside the kitchen counter were all stunned.
In just one minute, half of the large piece of lasagna had been eaten by Kanda Daisora.
And judging from its appearance, it seems that it is ready to continue eating.
This made the other examinees swallow their saliva and look at the remaining half of the lasagna.
“Stop.” Tang Yi had to stop him, “I just asked you to eat a bite, who told you to finish it?”
Kanda Daisora ??immediately wiped the grease from his mouth and bowed to apologize: “I’m sorry, examiner, your cooking was so delicious that I couldn’t help but…”
Hearing this, Tang Yi sighed and said, “Since you admit that I am the examiner, then things will be easy… You all are unqualified, go back to where you came from.”
As he said this, he waved his hand in disdain, as if to drive him away.
This time, the shocked candidates started to stir again.
“Examiner, you can’t do this! We haven’t even cooked yet!”
“That’s right, at least we have to be convinced. We won’t agree with such a judgment!”
Listening to these noisy noises, Tang Yi felt overwhelmed.
He himself was having a headache about how he could pass the exam. That woman Erina Nakiri just left the mess behind and ran away. It was so irresponsible.
“Shut up, you guys want to try? Fine, I’ll specify the dish, Italian lasagna, and the time is one hour. Okay, let’s get started.”
After saying this casually, Tang Yi picked up his backpack and walked to the corner and sat down.
“yes!”
After learning the test questions, the candidates became extremely alert and started selecting ingredients.
Tang Yi, who was watching from a distance, couldn’t help but shook his head.
This group of candidates vying for the top spot are just doing meaningless things. He has no authority to pass them, but they have to waste their time. What’s more, he is not an examiner at all. How dare these people believe him?
“By the way, who should I look for who is qualified?”
Tang Yi suddenly got a headache.
Yuanyue Academy covers a very large area, which is much larger than the average university.
In the center of the college, there is a magnificent building.
On the top floor of the building, there is an office. The owner of the office is the academy’s commander-in-chief, Senzaemon Nakiri, known as the “Demon King of Food”.
One of the food industry’s leading figures over sixty years old.
At this time, in the office, Nakiri Senzaemon was scratching his head while listening to a girl’s report.
Hisako Arato told everything that had happened before, including the incident where Erina Nakiri was made to cry.
After listening to the report, Nakiri Senzaemon couldn’t help but laugh.
“I see. No wonder Erina… But, that boy was able to make Erina cry. He’s pretty amazing.”
“General…”
“This student named Tang Yi was indeed recommended by Dojima Gin. In the recommendation letter, he gave a dish a very high evaluation, calling it ‘the level of the top ten’!”
Nakiri Senzaemon stroked his beard and said with a smile: “Now that I hear you say, he also has the divine tongue? Interesting, the same talent as Erina. How about this, Hisako…”
Arata Hisako listened quietly, but the more he listened, the more panicked his face became.
The commander-in-chief actually let that man and…!
012 Oh, we meet again… (Old version)
Half an hour has passed.
At the transfer student examination venue, Tang Yi sat in a corner, looking at the group of candidates who were taking the cooking test.
Italian lasagna is not difficult to make, but the process is a little complicated. Some people have already made the lasagna and put it into the oven to bake.
Tang Yi noticed that the one with the fastest hands and feet was a boy with red hair and a white ribbon tied on his forehead.
“This guy must be Yukihira Soma, he is indeed an experienced chef, his cooking skills are clearly a step above the others.”
Tang Yi propped his chin up in boredom, and commented on the candidates in secret with ease.
“As for the others, there are about ten pretty good ones. All of them are qualified. As for the others… No, no, I don’t have time to continue playing here. If I get caught, someone will definitely come after me.”
Thinking of this, Tang Yi stood up quietly, picked up his backpack, and left through the side door while no one was paying attention to him.
Walking out of the examination venue and breathing the fresh air outside, Tang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Rather than playing the examiner game, I should worry about my own passing problem. Erina has driven that woman away, so if I want to pass, I have no choice but to go directly to the academy commander-in-chief.”
The academy commander-in-chief, Senzaemon Nakiri, grandfather of Erina Nakiri.
Rumor has it that he is a very scary old man with many nicknames, the most famous of which is “The Food Devil”.
“As for the Demon King, the problem is that he is Erina’s grandfather. I pray that the Demon King can distinguish between public and private affairs…”
Tang Yi took action immediately after thinking about it.
From the large map at the school gate, Tang Yi had already memorized the approximate architecture of the academy. Since he was the commander-in-chief, he must be in the academy’s commander-in-chief building, which was the central building.
After asking someone for directions, Tang Yi quickly headed towards his destination.
Following the asphalt road leading all the way to the depths of the college, Tang Yi saw the environment of the college along the way.
I have to say that the greening is very well done and the natural landscape is preserved to a large extent.
The air is fresh and very suitable for human habitation.
On both sides of the road, the buildings hidden in the green also have their own styles.
There are British-style research laboratories, modern cooking buildings, stadium-like competition venues, and various research seminars.
Perhaps because it was close to the start of school, Tang Yi also saw several students wearing college uniforms along the way.
“It’s such a big place. It takes at least half an hour to walk from the school gate to the General Marshal’s Building…”
Complaining in his heart, Tang Yi saw a minibus coming towards him.
Looking through the glass at the front, it seemed that there were not many people around.
The school bus stopped right in front of Tang Yi, and then a red-haired girl got off.
The girl was holding a clipboard and a file bag.
After getting off the car, the girl’s eyes were fixed on Tang Yi, with a hint of hostility in her beautiful eyes.
“Oh…what a coincidence, we meet again.”
“If possible, I don’t want to see you at all.” Arata Hisako glared at Tang Yi fiercely and said, “If you dare to do anything strange to Lady Erina in the future, I will never forgive you!”
Hearing this, Tang Yi shrugged and said, “Well, I can’t help it. It’s because Erina is too beautiful. I’m really sorry.”
Of course, this is all superficial talk.
Since this girl cares about Erina Nakiri so much, it would be much better to praise Erina at this time than to praise her herself.
It’s like when you meet a former female classmate on the street, and she happens to have her boyfriend with her. At this time, instead of praising her for becoming prettier, it is better to praise her boyfriend for being handsome. This way, the female classmate will be happier.
Sure enough, after hearing Tang Yi’s words, Xinhu Feishazi’s tense expression relaxed a little.
She shoved the file bag in her hand into Tang Yi’s hand.
“This is for you!” Her tone was very unwilling, her beautiful eyes still staring, “Goodbye, hum~!”
After saying that, she shook her long hair, leaving Tang Yi with a puzzling back.
“What’s going on? Something’s wrong. Even if I praised Erina and made her feel a little better, her attitude shouldn’t be so good. There’s something fishy going on…”
Tang Yi muttered softly, lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then tore open the seal.
I opened the file bag and found two pieces of paper inside.
Tang Yi took them out together and took a quick look at them.
One is the admission invitation letter from Totsuki Academy, and the other is the free accommodation address.
The invitation letter was very simple. It basically meant that because of Dojima Gin’s recommendation, after discussion, the academy commander decided to invite Tang Yi to enter Totsuki Academy as a first-year student in the advanced department.
The signature is from the academy president, Senzaemon Nakiri, and there is also a seal.
The second one is the accommodation address. Taking Tang Yi’s situation into consideration, the college allowed him to move in before the official start of school. The dormitory is called “Hefengshe”.
“Tsk tsk, grandpa is indeed sensible. My granddaughter’s personality is really weird. To be honest, it’s quite tiring to get along with such a person.”
Looking at these two things, Tang Yi smiled, “It’s better not to date Erina in the future. It’s too troublesome. If you don’t tease her, she will get more aggressive. If you tease her, you’re afraid she will cry… It’s really troublesome.”
Someone silently insulted Erina Nakiri, and Tang Yi then looked at the dormitory name with a frown.
“Japanese House? I’d like to go to Polaris House, it seems quite lively there, but forget it, it’s good to have a place to stay.”
With a sigh, Tang Yi put his things into his backpack and began to look for the location of Hefengshe.
I don t know what the school s transportation system is like. In any case, Tang Yi didn t wait for the school bus and had to walk deeper into the college based on his feeling.
Fortunately, after asking a gardener who was trimming the garden, the other party enthusiastically told him where the Hefengshe was.
Following the other party’s instructions, Tang Yi finally found the place.
It was a Japanese-style building on the mountainside. After Tang Yi entered the gate, he did not see anyone, so he had to look for Room 3 by himself.
Following the instructions on the map, Tang Yi went around from the front.
“This way?”
Walking around the corner of the aisle, Tang Yi suddenly saw a figure walking towards him.
Ahhh~!
With a bang, the two of them bumped into each other.
“Are you okay…”
Subconsciously, Tang Yi reached out to support the other person, but as soon as he grabbed him, his face froze.
He said with a wry smile: “…Yo, yo, nice to see you again, Erina.”
013 This is the arrangement of “fate” (old version)
The two people who bumped into each other were in a somewhat subtle posture.
Erina Nakiri covered her forehead with one hand, where she had just hit Tang Yi’s chin. It hurt so much that she lost her balance and leaned backwards while her right leg left the ground.
Tang Yi, who almost knocked someone down, quickly grabbed Erina Nakiri’s hand, while his other hand went around her waist and held her in his arms.
The poses of the two of them were a bit like the ballet on TV.
Looking at the face so close to him, Tang Yi felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through his heart.
I was just thinking about not interacting too much with Erina Nakiri in the future, but in the blink of an eye, I ran into her again.
“Yo, yo… nice to see you again, Erina.”
Tang Yi said with a wry smile and let go before the other party could speak.
When he let go, Erina Nakiri lost her balance and fell down immediately.
In a hurry, Erina Nakiri subconsciously wanted to grab something.
Ah~!
With a soft scream, Erina Nakiri was sure that she had caught something, and then she heard a “swish” sound.
Then, there was a thud.
It hurts !
The girl held the back of her head and curled up on the ground, with a few tears flowing from the corners of her eyes because of the pain.
Tang Yi’s face turned dark and he lowered his eyes to look at his clothes.
A newly bought black T-shirt was torn after just a few days.
A large strip was torn off from the collar to the hem.
Not to mention the quality issues, the murderer is right in front of us.
“You… I knew nothing good would happen. Anyway, you have to pay for my clothes first.” Tang Yi was helpless.
It hurts, it hurts
Erina Nakiri squatted on the ground. After a while, she suddenly looked up and stared at Tang Yi fiercely with her eyes.
“I told you I don’t want to see you, why did you still appear in front of me! It’s too late to apologize now!”
“Huh? Apologize? You have too much self-consciousness, girl. Now I am the one who is hurt.” Tang Yi looked at the tearful expression and pouted, “Who do you think caused this dress?”
After hearing what he said, Erina Nakiri noticed Tang Yi’s situation. Then, she found that the torn piece of clothes was in her hand.
“Pervert! Exhibitionist!”
As if sensing danger, she suddenly moved back a little and threw the cloth in her hand away.
Tang Yi’s eyes twitched fiercely, “You are the exhibitionist.”
Because his T-shirt was torn, Tang Yi’s upper body was now almost exposed to the air.
And regular exercise has kept him in good shape.
Erina Nakiri calmed down a little. She slowly stood up and looked at Tang Yi awkwardly for a few times before saying, “Why are you in a place like this?”
“That’s why I want to ask you, why are you in a place like this?”
Tang Yi said unhappily, as he took off his torn T-shirt and took out a black shirt from his backpack and put it on.
“I… this is my dormitory, get out, I don’t welcome outsiders!”
“Huh?” Tang Yi was stunned for a moment. While buttoning his shirt, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Sorry, this is my dormitory. I don’t welcome you. Please get out.”
As he said that, he handed over the check-in notice in the bag.
“What…!” Nakiri Erina’s pretty face was tangled up. She leaned forward to look at the words on the notice, and after a long while she said, “You, you are not qualified at all. You are not a student of Totsuki. Where did you get this?”
“I knew you would say that, but I’m sorry to disappoint you again. I’m qualified now.” Tang Yi laughed and took out the admission invitation letter again and handed it to the other party.
“What is this…Grandpa!”
Erina Nakiri’s eyes widened, as if she couldn’t believe what she saw.
Not only did Tang Yi pass the test, he was also allowed to live in Hefengshe.
You know, Wafusha has always been Erina Nakiri’s personal residence, and now she has to share it with a man?
Although the dormitory is indeed very large, the target is Tang Yi, and Erina Nakiri is absolutely unwilling to go there.
She seemed to see a sparkling ruby ??being thrown into a pool of filthy mud.
The first thing she did was to take out her cell phone and quickly dial the number.
“Grandpa! Why did you let that dirty and lustful guy pass? Moreover, he is from Hefengshe…”
In a hurry, she gave up calling the other party commander-in-chief and directly called him grandpa.
Nakiri Senzaemon, who was far away in the Marshal’s Building, seemed to have expected this.
Hearing his granddaughter’s words, he just laughed and said, “Erina, it’s true that Tang Yi is quite excessive, but you are also wrong. To judge whether a chef is qualified, you can only judge by his cooking. You didn’t even taste his cooking, but you made an arbitrary review. This is wrong. In Totsuki Academy, cooking is everything!”
“But…he, he…!”
Erina Nakiri hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn’t say the words “forced kiss”.
Erina, think about it from another perspective. Grandpa sent this person to you, so you have countless opportunities to observe his cooking, and then defeat him, expel him, or make him apologize. Whatever you want to do, use cooking to speak for you. This is Totsuki Academy!
When the girl heard this, it was as if she had suddenly realized something. That s right, as long as she could defeat this lecherous man in cooking, wouldn t it be easy to make him leave?
When she thought of this, Erina Nakiri felt much better.
But when I think about it carefully, I always feel like something is wrong?
“So, do your best, Erina. You two are both God’s Tongues, so you should get along well.”
After saying this, the call was disconnected.
Far away in the Marshal’s Building, Nakiri Senzaemon smiled smugly.
“I’ve never met one before, but now I’ve suddenly met someone with the same sense of taste as me. No, I can even say that she has a ‘divine tongue that surpasses her own divine tongue’. It’s natural for Erina to lose her composure. So, let’s get along well. There’s a wall ahead, don’t be afraid, don’t run away, cross it, this is my granddaughter!”
Nakiri Senzaemon knew very well that if what Niida Hisako described was the actual situation.
Then, Tang Yi’s Divine Tongue must have surpassed Erina Nakiri’s Divine Tongue!
014 Exposed (Old Version)
Listening to the silent tone on the phone, Erina Nakiri looked up after a while. Nakiri Senzaemon’s words left her unable to refute.
Tang Yi had already put on his shirt, picked up his backpack, and was about to walk around this arrogant guy.
“etc “
“What can I do for you, Miss Erina? If you need compensation, please remember to send it to my room later.”
“No! Let me be frank with you. I will never agree with you, whether it’s your cooking or your fake divine tongue!”
“Yes, yes, as long as you like it.”
Tang Yi gave him a perfunctory look, tightened his backpack, and was about to leave.
“Stop, you haven’t finished yet!”
“Is there anything else?” Tang Yi turned around helplessly.
Erina Nakiri pursed her lips, her face was tangled for a long time, and then she said in a low voice unwillingly: “It’s my fault… my fault for ruining your T-shirt, but in the final analysis, it’s because you suddenly barged in, and before that you also… you also…! Anyway, you pervert, if you do anything again, I will make you get out of the Japanese style house!”
After saying that, she snorted and walked away quickly.
Tang Yi scratched his head, feeling a little speechless.
“You can’t even apologize. You must have been spoiled. No wonder. You’ve been treated like a star since you were a child. That’s why you have this weird personality…”
Muttering to himself, Tang Yi ignored all this for the time being and began to look for his dormitory with peace of mind.
As the name suggests, Wa-fu-ya is a Japanese-style building with a courtyard and a backyard. There are three dormitories. The first one is probably Erina Nakiri’s, and the second one has been converted into a luxurious kitchen. No doubt it is also Erina Nakiri’s.
The last one was vacant, so Tang Yi had no choice but to choose it.
Tang Yi opened the partition door of the Japanese-style room and walked in.
After taking a quick walk around the room, Tang Yi had an idea of ??what was going on.
The overall layout of the room is very Japanese-style. The space is not small, with a layer of tatami mats on the floor, about eleven or twelve pieces. There is a recessed pavilion on the wall for placing bedding, and there is also a tea pavilion on the left. Through the door of the tea pavilion, you can directly enter the courtyard.
There is a stone-paved path in the courtyard and a pond with a “Zhulu” installed in it, which is a device that uses bamboo to guide water.
Tang Yi stood in the teahouse and looked at the courtyard for a while, and happened to hear the tapping sound of Zhulu.
“The environment is nice, much better than the dormitory at Totsuki Resort. It’s really enjoyable to live in a place like this.”
With a slight smile, Tang Yi returned to the Japanese-style room and began to pack the things he had brought with him.
But not long after, a series of heavy footsteps sounds came through the paper-pasted door.
The sound quickly came to the door, and then, with a swish, the door was opened, and Erina Nakiri’s angry face appeared in front of Tang Yi again.
“What are you going to do now?” Tang Yi had to stop what he was doing.
“You…you…” Erina Nakiri seemed to be so angry that her ability to express herself had deteriorated. “You commoner! You actually pretended to be me and pretended to be an examiner. Are you really happy about that!?”
Tang Yi thought about this question seriously and then answered: “Well, it’s quite interesting.”
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri went crazy. Why is this person so annoying? !
Tang Yi was quite amused. Thinking about it carefully, it was quite fun to tease her, especially that expression of wanting to teach someone a lesson but not knowing where to start. It was simply a classic.
calm! Calm down! Erina!
After taking three forced deep breaths, Erina Nakiri’s red, angry expression finally calmed down.
Without saying a word, she dialed a number on her cell phone and then ordered with great momentum, “It’s me, Erina Nakiri. Prepare a car. I want to see it parked in front of the Japanese-style house in three minutes!”
It was then that Tang Yi realized that this girl had the demeanor of a strong woman when she gave orders. No, she was a strong woman herself.
“Come with me!”
Suddenly, Erina Nakiri put away her phone and said to Tang Yi with a hum.
“Because of your fault, the transfer student exam venue is now in chaos. Come with me and solve the commotion!”
“Why? Since you know it, as the official examiner, you can go there alone and solve it.”
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri glared at Tang Yi fiercely, “You don’t realize the seriousness of the situation at all. But Totsuki Academy will never make a mistake. There is no such thing as a fake examiner from the beginning! Since you have been identified as an examiner, then this time, you will really be the examiner.”
“What did you say?” Tang Yi was a little surprised.
“What are you still standing there for? I’ll settle this account with you when I get back. Anyway, let’s go and calm the commotion first!”
As she spoke, Erina Nakiri urged again, “Hurry up!”
Tang Yi was really surprised this time.
It’s not because of how much Totsuki Academy cares about its reputation, but because of Erina Nakiri. I thought she was just a spoiled young lady, but I didn’t expect that she is also very capable in handling things when faced with emergencies.
Even decided to let him be the examiner!
When faced with major issues of right and wrong, Erina Nakiri has the tolerance of a superior.
After understanding this, Tang Yi’s impression of her changed significantly.
“To be honest, you surprised me,” Tang Yi said with emotion as he stuffed his things into the concave cabinet. He stood up and said, “I am a little interested in you now. You are not just a willful young lady.”
“Who do you think caused this? It’s all your fault!” Nakiri Erina was almost deceived by Tang Yi’s cool words. After she realized what was happening, she immediately said unhappily, “Commoner, shut up and follow me.”
Hearing this, Tang Yi shrugged and followed the other party out.
After all, this matter was really his fault, and what Erina Nakiri did was just to help him clean up his mess.
This time, Tang Yi didn’t continue teasing her. He decided to resolve the commotion first.
When the two left Hefengshe, a high-end black car was already waiting at the door.
Thanks to Erina Nakiri, Tang Yi had a rare opportunity to enjoy the feeling of a luxury car.
“Commoner, I will…”
“There was a misunderstanding between us before, but it’s so rude of you to keep calling me a commoner. I have a name, my name is Tang Yi, and I hope you can give me your guidance in the future.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi stretched out his hand, wanting to express a little apology for his previous actions.
Glancing at the hand that Tang Yi extended, Nakiri Erina was as proud as a peacock. She snorted and said, “Who wants to shake hands with a commoner, a sex maniac, an exhibitionist, and a liar like you?”
“Then I’m getting off.”
“you !”
As if her weak spot had been caught, Erina Nakiri glared at Tang Yi with bared teeth like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
After a while, she reluctantly shook hands with Tang Yi.
“Hmph, don’t think I’ll forgive you for what happened before…”
Tang Yi was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and threw it towards Erina Nakiri’s face.
“Anyway, wipe it off first. People who don’t know might think I’m bullying a girl.”
Although that is actually the case.
015 Fake Becomes Reality (Old Version)
Perhaps she had cried secretly by herself, the makeup at the corners of Erina Nakiri’s eyes was blurred by tears.
After throwing the handkerchief over, Tang Yi kindly reminded him, “Your makeup is smudged. You look like a female ghost now. What a pity for such a lovely face.”
At first she didn’t understand what was happening, but after hearing the reminder, Erina Nakiri immediately took out a mirror from the groove on the car door.
Wooooooa …
After a scream, Erina Nakiri didn’t care about anything else and started to tidy herself up in front of the mirror with a handkerchief.
Luckily, her eyeliner and eyeshadow were light enough that it wasn’t a hassle to work with.
After wiping off her previous makeup, she took out a makeup box from somewhere like a magician and started to apply some intense operations on her face.
The whole process takes less than five minutes.
Tang Yi watched the whole process, and when he saw the finished product, he couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “Is there any difference between your makeup and no makeup? It’s just a little bit of light eyeliner and eyeshadow.”
“It has nothing to do with you!” Erina Nakiri turned her head away, not wanting to even look at Tang Yi.
Tang Yi guessed that she was not good at it at all, but he stopped teasing her and sat in the car, quietly acting like a handsome man.
Not long after, the car finally stopped.
After Tang Yi and Erina Nakiri got off the car, they immediately headed towards the transfer student examination venue.
Before I even entered the door, I heard a lot of noisy sounds inside, just like a vegetable market.
“call “
Taking a deep breath, Erina Nakiri adjusted her mind and then placed her hands on the two door handles.
However, at this moment, there was a loud bang, and the door was bounced open before Erina Nakiri could push it open.
Tang Yi’s right leg was hanging high. Seeing Erina Nakiri looking at him with murderous eyes, he smiled slightly and said, “Don’t be like this. I’m just suppressing the commotion.”
“You’ve damaged public property, Tang Yi. I’m going to settle accounts with you later!”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
While the two were having a brief conversation outside the door, the originally noisy venue became quiet due to a sudden loud noise.
The whole scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone was frightened.
“It’s you!” Suddenly, the angry voice of Niito Hisako came.
Tang Yi spotted her in the venue at a glance. She didn’t look very well and seemed a little anxious.
“Hey, Hisako, thank you for your hard work.”
“Tang Yi! Look at what you have done!”
Perhaps he had found his savior, no, to be more precise, he had found the culprit, Xinhu Feishazi jogged towards Tang Yi.
Tang Yi simply ignored her, put on a serious face, and scanned the candidates with a sharp look.
“What are you doing? I’m kind enough to give you a chance, and you’re still causing trouble for me? You don’t need to take the exam anymore, all of you get out, you all fail.”
After hearing this, the candidates seemed to realize that the previous commotion had gone too far, so no one stepped forward to take the lead and take over the conversation.
Tang Yi first kicked the door, then gained the upper hand with words and immediately took control of the situation.
Just as he was about to continue his attack, a boy wearing a white band on his head came out.
The boy wore thick cotton gloves, held a baking tray, and walked confidently towards Tang Yi.
“Examiner, I couldn’t find you, and I was wondering what would happen. Now that you’re back, can we start the review? This is my food, please enjoy it.”
Everyone seemed surprised that someone suddenly stood up, and they all turned their attention to him.
Even Erina Nakiri couldn’t help but glance at the boy, but then she stared at Tang Yi with angry eyes.
This bastard is taking over the show!
Lady Erina! Arato Hisako came over and whispered, What is this ?
“Let him be,” Nakiri Erina snorted, put one hand on her waist, and watched quietly, “I want to see how this guy will deal with it.”
Hisako Arato was dumbfounded. She always felt that something seemed to have happened between the two of them, otherwise, with Miss Erina’s temper, it would never be like this.
Tang Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the lasagna on the baking tray.
The color is very rich and tempting, and the aroma is fragrant. Just looking at it makes you feel that it is a good dish.
“What’s your name?” Tang Yi raised his head and looked at the boy.
“Soma Yukihira.”
“Xingping, you interrupted me.” As he spoke, Tang Yi walked to the cooking table he had used before and continued, “But it doesn’t matter. I’ll give you one last chance. Line up quietly and orderly and bring up your dishes one by one. I’m right here. OK, let’s start now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the candidates breathed a sigh of relief and began to do as Tang Yi said.
After all, they are a group of well-educated young people. They queue up in an orderly manner, and some of them have not completed the final steps and are still waiting.
Standing at the gate, Erina Nakiri watched the development of the situation without saying a word.
She had to admit that Tang Yi handled the situation much better than she did. She had originally planned to explain first, confirm Tang Yi’s identity as the examiner, and then conduct an audit.
Now it seems that it is not necessary at all. Although this man is a mess, he is not a brainless idiot.
Suddenly, Erina Nakiri saw Tang Yi winking at her. Because she didn’t pay attention, the other party now changed to waving at her blatantly.
Although she didn’t want to pay any attention to him, Erina Nakiri still walked over slowly.
“What is it?”
Tang Yi whispered softly in her ear: “Can I give someone a pass?”
“no!”
Without even thinking twice, Erina Nakiri rejected the idea and said with a frown, “Stay away from me, you pervert! I don’t want to be infected by your pervert virus!”
Hearing this, Tang Yi’s eyes twitched, and he laughed dryly twice, saying, “I’m sorry, everyone. Miss Examiner No. 2 said that you can’t pass. Very good, don’t line up anymore, and go home quickly.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Erina Nakiri was pushed to the top of the wave.
The candidates, who had worked hard for an hour, glared at each other.
“Who are you? How dare you let someone fail so easily!”
“That’s right, too overbearing!”
Verbal attacks soon began to sound. Erina Nakiri was furious, but had no place to vent, so she could only glare at Tang Yi.
Why is this guy so annoying? !
Tang Yi chuckled twice, slapped his palm on the kitchen counter, and said seriously: “Watch your words, common people. Who do you think she is? This lady is the head of the middle school department, the youngest member in the history of the ‘Totsuki Ten Elites Council’, the highest decision-making body of the academy, and is known as the ‘God’s Tongue’ in the world, Lady Erina Nakiri!”
In the distance, Xinhu Feishazi blushed. Why did this sentence sound so familiar? Wasn t this what she said?
However, looking at Erina Nakiri who was being introduced by Tang Yi in a serious manner, she seemed to be trying her best to endure it. She covered her mouth and her shoulders twitched constantly.
She didn’t feel it before, but now that Tang Yi said it, she was shocked. It was so shameful!
It’s a pity that this man can say that!
“Laugh? What the hell are you laughing at? You said it yourself.” Tang Yi glanced at her and said unhappily.
016 An Inadvertent Gap (Old Version)
Erina Nakiri wanted to laugh, but she had to hold it back in order to maintain her dignity.
Although her majesty, in Tang Yi’s eyes, was the same as non-existent.
“Nakiri… Erina!”
“That… Erina Nakiri of the Divine Tongue!”
“The granddaughter of the Food King! She, she is also an examiner!”
Unlike Tang Yi, the other candidates were all shocked, as if they had seen some terrifying demon, and they retreated slowly and timidly.
This scene made Tang Yi smile slightly, and he said harmlessly, “By the way, I’m sorry I forgot to tell you that the examiners for this transfer exam are Erina and I. Only candidates who are recognized by both of us can pass.”
At this point, Tang Yi stretched out a finger, as if tempting the devil, and said: “Here, I have specially prepared a right for everyone. In the next minute, you are allowed to give up. The countdown begins, 60 seconds, 59 seconds…”
When Tang Yi slowly counted to 55 seconds, the candidates who were stunned by the situation began to react one by one.
Everyone screamed, dropped the food in their hands, and began to flee with fear on their faces.
It was as if there was an earthquake and everyone started running for their lives.
Among the candidates who fled, some were running wildly while screaming in pain.
“Run! If she labels you ‘incompetent’, your life as a chef will be over!”
“Devil! That’s the devil! Don’t challenge her divine tongue! It will bring trouble to the hotel your family runs!”
The people who rushed out were all gone in just a dozen seconds.
They completely disregarded etiquette and decency and instead acted like refugees.
“boring!”
Erina Nakiri’s smile disappeared instantly because of the commotion. She bit her lips, with a hint of contempt in her tone.
“A bunch of stray dogs running away!”
Tang Yi looked at the venue with a smile, couldn’t help but stretch, and said heartlessly: “Erina, my mission is completed now, right? Then I’m leaving.”
Having said that, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave through the side door.
With a snap, a white hand pressed down on his shoulder.
Nakiri Erina said with murderous eyes, “Don’t even think about running away!”
Tang Yi had to stop and teased, “Tsk tsk, aren’t you afraid of being infected by my porn virus, Miss?”
Erina Nakiri was both embarrassed and angry, but she quickly let go of Tang Yi.
“You can’t leave!”
“What do you want? I have calmed the commotion as agreed.”
“Hmph, don’t think this will get you away with it! You kicked the door and damaged public property before, so you have to pay for it!”
“You tore my clothes and brought shame upon me. The material and mental losses should be counted together. I will be generous and offset them with that door.”
“How can there be such a person as you!”
“I’m kind by nature, don’t be too obsessed with me.”
“Who would be fascinated by you, you perverted sex maniac!”
Erina Nakiri was like a stubborn cat, but she soon realized that she couldn’t win an argument with this person.
However, Hisako Arato standing by was stunned. Miss Erina’s performance today was completely different from usual.
What exactly happened?
“Um…I’m sorry to bother you guys while you’re chatting.”
At this moment, a hearty voice interrupted between Tang Yi and Erina Nakiri.
“Hmm?” Tang Yi’s eyes turned and immediately locked onto the person who spoke.
Soma Yukihira said naturally, “Although I don’t know what happened, can you please review it for me first? Otherwise, the lasagna will get cold, and it won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
“There are still candidates…”
Nakiri Erina showed a little surprise. She temporarily gave up pestering Tang Yi, put one hand on her waist, and said with a foolish smile on her lips: “Your name is Yukihira Soma?”
“That’s right. Examiners, who will taste my lasagna first?” Soma Yukihira said confidently.
Nakiri Erina chuckled, looking arrogant, “Interesting, are you really going to challenge my Divine Tongue?”
At this point, she seemed to remember something, glanced at Tang Yi who was watching the show, and said, “Let’s not talk about that person for now, but you dared to stay after hearing my name. Let me confirm once, are you serious?”
Soma Yukihira did not answer, but placed the lasagna in front of Erina Nakiri.
Seeing this, Erina Nakiri’s eyebrows jumped violently, but soon relaxed again.
She picked up the fork and knife, cut a small piece from Soma Yukihira’s lasagna, and slowly put it into her mouth.
When Erina Nakiri took a bite of the lasagna, her taste buds exploded.
Various flavors began to entangle together, becoming richer and sweeter as you chew.
Very delicious!
Erina Nakiri was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that the transfer student would have such a level.
But, when cold, cold lasagna goes down a notch!
Soon, Erina Nakiri put down her cutlery and announced ruthlessly: “You are unqualified.”
Soma Yukihira widened his eyes, a little confused.
He was very confident in his cooking, but he never expected that due to a series of events, the lasagna would not be enjoyed at its most delicious.
Indeed, the aroma and explosiveness of cold lasagna are much worse than when it is just out of the oven.
“Wait, this is an accident…”
“Erina, I don’t accept it.”
Just when Soma Yukihira was about to explain himself, Tang Yi suddenly spoke.
“What did you say?” Seeing Tang Yi provoking her, Nakiri Erina couldn’t help but glare at him, “Do you think there’s something wrong with my judgment?”
“No, whether you judge it as qualified or not has nothing to do with me, but you said that the taste of cold lasagna will drop a level.” Tang Yi took a baking tray from the kitchen counter and handed it to Erina Nakiri, “This is what I made before. It has been left for more than 40 minutes.”
“What do you mean?” Erina Nakiri looked at the half-block of lasagna left and was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
“Didn’t you ask me before why I only baked it for ten minutes in the end? This is the answer. Why don’t you try it? Are you afraid that I might drug you?” Tang Yi shrugged and said.
Seeing this, Erina Nakiri instinctively wanted to refuse, but soon remembered what Nakiri Senzaemon had said before.
This is a chance to find out his true level!
“Since you say so, well, I’ll just give it a try.”
As she spoke, she picked up the cutlery again and cut off a small corner from half a lasagna.
Perhaps out of a woman’s obsession with cleanliness, she deliberately cut the untouched side.
This piece of lasagna, which was obviously cold, was quickly put into Erina Nakiri’s mouth.
Her first impression was that it was ordinary.
“What? It’s just this level…!!”
Just as she was about to mock Tang Yi, Erina Nakiri suddenly covered her mouth.
She took the first bite, and then the mixed flavors of the various ingredients hidden in the lasagna burst out perfectly.
The aroma of milk, the sweetness of tomato juice, the aroma of oil, the aroma of meat, the freshness of vegetables… seven kinds? No, more than a dozen different flavors, perfectly blended in it.
Erina Nakiri even tasted flavors other than the ingredients!
In comparison, the previous lasagna had a huge difference in terms of flavor retention!
“…Hisagi, let’s go.”
Silently swallowing a small piece of lasagna, Erina Nakiri said nothing and turned towards the door.
017 Yukihira’s Goal (Old Version)
A small piece of cold lasagna gave Erina Nakiri a deep feeling.
It s not that this dish is perfect without any flaws. Erina Nakiri believes that she can easily make lasagna of the same level, and even better than Tang Yi.
However, she couldn’t keep this delicious burst even when it cooled down!
She really wanted to ask how he did it, but she was watching Tang Yi’s cooking process the whole time.
Once you ask, it’s like admitting defeat.
How could she admit defeat? Her pride would never allow it!
“…Let’s go, Feishazi.”
After swallowing what she was chewing, Erina Nakiri whispered a greeting and left without saying a word.
“Lady Erina, wait for me.” Niida Hisako quickly followed.
The two of them quickly left the examination venue.
“Gone? What about the assessment? Eh?!” Yukihira Soma felt like he was going to be petrified. He glanced at Erina Nakiri’s back, then turned to Tang Yi and said, “Examiner, she…”
Tang Yi patted Yukihira Soma’s shoulder comfortingly and said, “Keep going, I’ll still be your examiner next year. I’m optimistic about you.”
After saying that, he left without staying any longer.
In the examination hall, Soma Yukihira was the only one standing there stupidly.
“No, I don’t qualify!”
His body shook slightly, and Soma Yukihira looked a little dazed.
It s not that the lasagna he cooked wasn t delicious, but it was cold. The cold lasagna lost its peak taste.
Soma Yukihira found it hard to accept the failure caused by this mistake in details and was deeply shocked.
“Wait, that woman ate the examiner’s lasagna and didn’t say anything, even though the examiner’s lasagna should have been left out longer!”
Suddenly, Soma Yukihira’s spirit perked up and his eyes were fixed on Tang Yi’s lasagna.
After a slight hesitation, he picked up the cutlery, cut off a small piece from it and put it into his mouth.
He is very confident in his cooking. As a chef fighting on the front line, he believes in his cooking skills.
However, at this moment, for the first time in his life, he began to waver in his faith towards someone other than his father!
At first, the lasagna tasted bland because it was cold. It was just average. It was delicious, but that was it.
However, when he bit into it, the flavors of several sauces hidden between the dough began to release.
The rich milky aroma suddenly reached a peak, as if it had exploded.
Then, the sweet and sour taste of the tomato sauce came like a second wave, surging up and entangled with the aroma of milk, bringing a taste enjoyment.
And this is not the end. As the two entangled flavors continue to burst out, the deliciousness of the other ingredients hidden beneath them also begins to emerge vaguely.
Soma Yukihira was shocked to find that he could not judge what flavor or mixed aroma he would taste the next time he chewed.
“Four, no, seven… more than that, how many are there? What ingredients did he use to make the sauce?!”
Soma Yukihira leaned his hands on the kitchen counter, lowered his head dejectedly, and chewed slowly.
He seemed to see a wall suddenly appear in front of him, but at the moment he could not see the top of the wall.
“It’s delicious. The difference is huge…” Yukihira Soma covered his face, a little dazed, “The more I eat, the more I want to eat. This is already cold. If it’s just out of the oven, it will be even better.”
After a long silence, Soma Yukihira suddenly laughed softly.
“Hahaha, amazing! Really amazing! Just a random examiner has this level of skill! I came to the right place. My father had a purpose for sending me here! Then, the first person I need to surpass is the cook of this dish!”
He whispered firmly to himself, then stopped abruptly and froze.
“Ah, I don’t think I’m qualified…”
When Tang Yi left the examination venue and returned to the place where he got off, he happened to see Erina Nakiri and others leaving in a car.
As if deliberately not letting him get in, the black limousine whooshed away quickly.
From the half-dropped rear window, Tang Yi could still see Erina Nakiri making faces at him.
“A child?” Tang Yi was speechless.
He had made up his mind that he would never have too deep a relationship with Erina Nakiri in the future. However, it seemed unlikely that the two of them would live under the same roof.
Shaking his head, Tang Yi jogged back to the dormitory as if it were a physical exercise. During the jog, he also walked around the campus to familiarize himself with the terrain.
It was not until after four o’clock in the afternoon that Tang Yi returned to Hefengshe. When he passed by room number two, he heard the sounds of cooking coming from inside.
With a hint of curiosity, Tang Yi peeked inside through the crack in the door.
Erina Nakiri is wearing a white apron and cooking.
And Xinhu Feishazi was happily tasting it on the side.
“Erina-sama, it’s delicious. As expected of Erina-sama, this lasagna is absolutely exquisite!”
Hearing the secretary’s praise, Erina Nakiri was not happy at all. She tasted it herself and frowned.
“No, it’s not as explosive as that lecherous one!”
“Eh? Lady Erina?”
Erina Nakiri was completely immersed in cooking, her mind full of the lasagna that Tang Yi had made earlier.
“What he made is like the waves of the ocean, one wave after another, making people want to eat more and more, and the taste is also well preserved. How did he do it?”
With a look of confusion and unwillingness to admit defeat, Erina Nakiri immediately threw herself into cooking again.
“Very competitive.”
Tang Yi thought secretly in his heart, seeing how hard she was working, he really wanted to go in and remind her that the key was in the sauce, but then he thought, why should he tell her, just let her study it alone and not disturb him.
With a slight smile, Tang Yi withdrew his gaze and returned to his room.
Tang Yi spent the next two days very comfortably. Without being disturbed by Erina Nakiri, he was getting familiar with the campus while honing his cooking and knife skills.
In the blink of an eye, it was April 1st.
This day is the day when the new class of students enters school and the opening ceremony is held.
018 Opening Ceremony (Old Version)
On the morning of April 1st, cherry trees were in full bloom on both sides of the asphalt road, and the entire teaching building was filled with the wonderful scent of spring.
Thousands of students who graduated from the middle school of Totsuki Saryo Culinary School and entered the senior school gathered on the lawn, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.
As Tang Yi was invited to attend the school, he naturally had to attend the opening ceremony.
In the waiting lounge temporarily built with scaffolding, Tang Yi sat on one of the chairs, crossed his legs, and flipped through the latest cooking magazine.
Here, besides Tang Yi, there was also Erina Nakiri, but she did not sit down. Instead, she stood far away, fearing that she would be infected with the “pornographic virus”.
“There’s still quite some time before the ceremony begins. Aren’t you tired?”
Unable to bear her walking around any longer, Tang Yi had to put down the magazine and looked up at her.
“None of your business. It’s my freedom to stand wherever I want.”
“Masochism?”
“No!” Nakiri Erina rejected it immediately, then took a deep breath and looked down, “Humph, you want to confuse my mind with words, I won’t be angered by your few words.”
Tang Yi shook his head and continued reading the magazine. He said, “Are all Japanese food magazines so boring? Things like ‘Erina Nakiri tasted it herself and praised it highly’ and ‘The top ten delicacies confirmed by the tongue of God, you must try them’! They are all boring stuff. What I want to read is the latest research on dishes.”
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri showed a hint of pride and smiled, “Unlike an ordinary commoner like you, I am a famous person. The store that I approve of will definitely see a huge increase in customer traffic within a week.”
“Really? I don’t know who is competing with me. I’ve been staying in the kitchen all day these past two days, making lasagna and talking to myself…” Tang Yi said with a smile.
Nakiri Erina’s pretty face froze for a moment, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she stammered, “You…you you you, how did you know? You’re a peeping Tom!”
“Do you think I’m willing to do that? I’m just a few steps from the door and I’m in your kitchen. I have to listen even if I don’t want to. Please try to keep your voice down at night. You’re not disturbing my sleep.”
Erina Nakiri’s delicate body trembled, and she immediately remembered that this man lived next door. Then she thought that her every move might be seen by the other party.
“You you you… Peeping Tom! Move out!”
Before the frantic Erina could cover herself, the voice of the host outside the lounge came in.
“… Next, we will begin awarding the grade badges. Please invite the first-year student representative, Erina Nakiri, to the stage.”
Tang Yi raised his chin towards the angry girl and said calmly, “It’s your turn now. It will be too late if you don’t get out now.”
“It’s all your fault that I’m uneasy! Humph~!”
Erina Nakiri calmed down, snorted again, adjusted her expression, put on a cold look, then lifted the curtain and walked out.
The next moment, Tang Yi heard whispers from thousands of students.
“Wow, Erina-sama, you are beautiful today as well.”
“With such a beautiful face, and being ranked first in the school, he is simply a perfect superman!”
“I would die without regrets if I could date her for just one day.”
“Me too !”
Hearing these infatuated whispers, Tang Yi shook his head secretly and couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
“Beautiful? Meili is more like freezing.”
Too lazy to listen to the nonsense, Tang Yi continued to look down at the food magazine.
As long as you ignore the few columns praising Erina Nakiri, this magazine is still worth reading.
When Tang Yi finished watching the cooking method of a dish called “Japanese-style Tamagoyaki”, the host’s voice was heard outside again.
” Thank you for the speech by the freshman representative, Erina Nakiri. Next, I would like to invite the transfer student representative to speak.”
Representative of transfer students?
Thousands of students in the audience were stunned when they heard these words suddenly.
Although I know that the college has a transfer student examination system, passing it is much more difficult than simply being promoted from the middle department to the high department.
Over the years, transfer students have been extremely rare.
Tang Yi was still looking at the next dish when Erina Nakiri came back.
“What are you still doing? It’s your turn.”
“It’s my turn? I also want to give a speech?” Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, “I haven’t prepared anything, and no one gave me a speech.”
“What speech do I need? I never need such a thing. But, it’s true that you have never had the opportunity to speak in front of so many people since you were a child, right?”
As she spoke, Erina Nakiri cast a provocative look over.
Tang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and was too lazy to refute. He closed the magazine and walked out empty-handed.
As soon as I got outside, a thousand pairs of eyes looked at me.
Tang Yi was not stage-frightened. He walked calmly to the podium, took the microphone from a sophomore student, cleared his throat, and began to speak.
“Good morning, everyone. My name is Tang Yi, and I come from the kingdom of gourmet food – the Celestial Empire.”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Tang Yi stated his identity. The students below were also surprised. They didn’t expect that the transfer student was from China.
If we were to say which two countries’ cuisines receive the most attention and recognition in the world, they would be China and France. No, to be more precise, it would be Chinese cuisine and French cuisine.
After glancing at everyone, Tang Yi said with a smile, “I am very happy to be able to study at Totsuki College. Before coming here, I had heard a lot about Totsuki Tea House Culinary School. Totsuki College is a brand in the Japanese culinary industry, and the root of this brand is the school’s very thorough, survival of the fittest elite education policy. As long as you can work hard until graduation, you can enjoy the glory of being a popular star in the culinary industry for the rest of your life.”
Up until here, everything was fine.
But then Tang Yi changed the subject and the smile on his face faded.
“But… you who were born in the same generation as me are so pitiful. From the moment you were born, you were destined to compete for the second place in this life… No, that’s not right. Although I don’t like Erina very much, I have to admit that she is undisputedly second. Then, poor you, as mortals, the only position you can try to imagine in your mind is third. It’s a pity, because the one who reaches the top of Totsuki and dominates the entire Japanese cuisine world is me!”
Halfway through the speech, the students in the audience were already stunned.
How dare this person speak so arrogantly at the opening ceremony? No one expected it!
And when these words were finished, they finally reacted one by one.
No one would accept this. No one wanted to be criticized in person as an ordinary person. Moreover, the person being criticized was a strange transfer student whom no one had ever heard of.
What are you opening !
However, before the students could get angry, Tang Yi smiled harmlessly and said, “Oh, I’m so sorry. Of course, I didn’t come up with such an embarrassing line. Don’t blame me. It’s all Erina’s fault. She insisted that I say it. So, that’s the end of my speech.”
After saying this, Tang Yi straightened his clothes and walked away in a swagger under the gaze of a group of stunned students.
“I can’t stand it anymore! I must kill him!”
In the lounge, Erina Nakiri’s face turned red, like an angry female leopard, ready to take her target’s life at any time.
019 Formal teaching (old version)
“What the hell is going on? This transfer student is so arrogant!”
“Dominating the entire Japanese culinary world? That really makes me angry. The number one position cannot be taken by a Chinese!”
“But he’s quite handsome. This transfer student has a great figure too.”
As he walked down the podium, Tang Yi heard a lot of angry whispers, as well as the occasional applause from girls.
Even the sophomore girl who was in charge of hosting the entire opening ceremony was frightened by Tang Yi’s arrogant tone.
Su Yi didn’t think anything of it and walked off the stage quietly. What he said was in line with the college’s educational policy and there would certainly be no problem with it.
The sophomore girl who presided over the ceremony had to clean up Tang Yi’s mess in order to appease the students.
” Thank you for the transfer student representative’s speech. It was a very unique speech. I wish him success. Well, next, we welcome the general manager of Totsuki Saryo Culinary Academy, Mr. Nakiri Senzaemon, to give a speech!”
Let s not talk about the speech.
In the lounge next to the podium, Erina Nakiri has gone berserk.
Tang Yi’s personal provocation aroused public anger. She was just watching the show at first, but she never expected that Tang Yi would throw all the blame on her in the end!
How hateful!
Walking to the door, Erina Nakiri gritted her teeth and suppressed her violent emotions. She made up her mind that as long as Tang Yi came in, she would knock him down at that moment!
Erina Nakiri, who has learned martial arts, is very confident about this. She can catch the opponent by surprise, and there will be no problem even if the opponent is a boy!
However, she waited and waited, until Nakiri Senzaemon finished his speech, but Tang Yi did not come back.
Erina, who finally couldn’t bear it anymore, suddenly threw open the curtain and rushed out.
As a result, there were only a few second-grade boys carrying things on the podium.
Thousands of first-year students have now been dispersed.
“Ahhh~!! Tang Yi you bastard!”
Erina Nakiri’s anger, which had nowhere to vent, finally turned into a roar.
Suddenly, several boys who were busy moving things cast strange looks at him and talked to each other in low voices.
“Is Miss Erina very familiar with that transfer student?”
“I’m not sure, but it seems like they have a good relationship.”
“Shh…I was heard!”
When the three of them looked up, they met Erina Nakiri’s death-like gaze.
“That idiot must have been waiting for me. He should have realized it by now.”
Tang Yi, hiding in the crowd of students, revealed a faint smile.
Of course he wasn’t stupid enough to go back to the lounge. As soon as his speech ended, he made a big circle and left the gathering point.
He first went under the cherry tree and quietly read a magazine for a while, watching the cherry blossoms falling at a speed of five centimeters per second. Then, when the students began to disperse, he quickly blended into the crowd.
At this moment, he was holding a magazine, reading with his head down, and following the crowd without saying a word, heading towards the restaurant building.
“Oh, there are some amazing transfer students like that.”
“Yes, but if you want to survive in this academy, perhaps someone as strong as him would be more suitable.”
“That’s right. We have to work hard too, right, Xiaohui? Eh? Huh?”
The two girls who were talking turned around at the same time, only to see a boy with his head down reading a food magazine.
But the Xiaohui they were talking about was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Yi seemed to feel that he was about to bump into something, so he stopped and looked up to see two girls looking at him.
Both girls are very cute. One has orange hair, a bun, and a petite figure, while the other has long red hair and is a little taller.
The two girls stared at Tang Yi for a long time before they all realized what was going on.
“Ah, it’s you!”
“Shh!”
Tang Yi made a gesture to keep quiet, and then heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side.
He didn’t want to be surrounded by angry students.
“You two, please keep quiet.” Shrugging, Tang Yi said with a smile, “If it’s a culinary challenge, I welcome it, but I surrender to physical violence.”
Hearing this, the girl with the chubby hair was stunned for a while before she covered her mouth and laughed.
“You’re so interesting. A transfer student.”
“I have a name. My name is Tang Yi. What about you?”
She said enthusiastically: “Hello, Tang Jun, my name is Yoshino Yuuki, and she is my roommate, Sakaki Ryoko.”
“Hello, Tang Yi.” Sakaki Ryoko also looked at Tang Yi curiously and greeted him.
“Hello, Yuuki-san, Ryoko-san.” Tang Yi quickly displayed his social skills and said cheerfully, “Oh, I thought I would be disliked for saying that in my speech before.”
“Most people would really hate it, but we are not angry. Let’s cheer it on together.” Yoshino Yuki said with youthful energy.
Tang Yi looked at her for a few times and felt that she looked familiar. “Well, let’s do our best together. By the way, are you guys waiting for someone?”
Sakaki Ryoko rubbed her cheek with a headache and said, “We have another companion, named Tadokoro Megumi, and it seems we got separated. But it doesn’t matter, our destination is the restaurant building.”
“If you don’t mind, can you lead the way? Actually, I don’t know which class I’m assigned to.” Tang Yi spread his hands and said helplessly.
Maybe because he was very friendly, both girls didn’t refuse.
“Okay, we just happened to go check out the notice board as well.”
Immediately, the three of them set out together.
After entering the cooking building, Tang Yi and his two companions, led by two girls, came to a public notice board.
It contains detailed information about the class placement for first-year students.
Unlike ordinary schools, Totsuki does not have classes like AF, but is divided into “conditioning laboratories”.
There are twenty in total, with about fifty people in each lab.
Tang Yi found his name in the third conditioning laboratory and was ranked first.
By the way, Tang Yi also found the name of Erina Nakiri. She was assigned to the first conditioning laboratory and was also the first one.
“We are in the second conditioning laboratory.” At this time, Yoshino Yuuki said with a smile: “I am with Ryoko, Tang Jun, how about you?”
“third.”
“You’re third, but you’re first!” Looking up at the notice board, Yoshino Yuuki was shocked, “Generally, the first place means the best results. By the way, Xiaohui is also in the third conditioning laboratory, but she’s the last one…”
Hearing this, Tang Yi looked up and took another look, and sure enough, he saw the name “Tan Suke Kei” in the last place.
Tadokoro Megumi? If I remember correctly, she was the girl from the Polaris Dormitory. So these two are also?
Suddenly thinking of this, Tang Yi couldn’t help but look at Yoshino Yuki and the other person.
“Tang Yi, Xiao Hui is in your hands. Although she is a good cook, she is always nervous. Please help her when the time comes.” Sakaki Ryoko asked with a smile, and then said: “We are leaving first, bye.”
“goodbye.”
After watching the two girls leave, Tang Yi looked up again.
Under the column of the third conditioning laboratory, in the second position, Tang Yi saw a familiar name.
Soma Yukihira.
“How did he qualify?” Tang Yi couldn’t help but complain, “Did he use the backdoor?”
020 Challenge and Team Building (Old Version)
(I couldn’t sleep late at night, so I woke up to update 3 chapters, hahaha~~)
Tang Yi had some guesses as to why Soma Yukihira passed the test.
In all likelihood, it has something to do with the academy’s commander-in-chief, Nakiri Senzaemon. After all, based on what Tang Yi knew about the original work, Yukihira Soma’s father and the commander-in-chief probably knew each other and had a good relationship.
With this premise, it is not surprising to conclude that the commander-in-chief knew that Soma Yukihira would come to take the exam.
Of course, Tang Yi wouldn’t care about any backdoor issues. His situation was similar. He was invited to enroll thanks to Dojima Gin.
Putting aside such trivial matters for the moment, Tang Yi squeezed out of the crowd and began to look for the third conditioning laboratory.
When Tang Yi found the place and walked into the third conditioning laboratory, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Most of these looks came from boys, and they were unfriendly and full of hostility.
“That’s him, the transfer student at the opening ceremony this morning!”
“Humph, I’m lucky. I can take this opportunity to teach him a lesson!”
“Hehe, I pray he doesn’t explode.”
These whispered conversations easily reached Tang Yi’s ears.
Tang Yi didn’t care about such rumors at all. Only those who have no strength like to talk about others in a low voice. If they really had the courage, they would have stepped forward and provoked loudly by now.
“What a coincidence, examiner, we are in the same cooking room.”
Suddenly, a hearty voice sounded, drowning out all the criticisms.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Yi saw Soma Yukihira walking towards him.
“It’s you. But I’m not the examiner now. My name is Tang Yi.”
Soma Yukihira stopped in front of Tang Yi and chuckled, “I was planning to look for you, and since we meet by chance, that’s even better. Now, I challenge you!”
Tang Yi was silent for a while, then he looked outside the door and said with a headache: “Isn’t the professor coming yet? It’s almost nine o’clock.”
“Hey, Tang Yi, don’t ignore me!”
“Is there anything wrong? Soma Yukihira.” Tang Yi said helplessly.
“So, I want to challenge you.”
“Okay, I accept it, and congratulations, you win.”
Unlike Soma Yukihira who is full of energy, Tang Yi’s attitude is very casual.
Although the classmates around didn’t know what was going on, many girls were still amused by Tang Yi’s words. They covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
Yukihira Soma said dissatisfiedly: “I am serious. After I ate your lasagna a few days ago, I decided to challenge you! After two days of hard practice and research, I already know the secret of your dish!”
“Yeah?”
Tang Yi dealt with it nonchalantly, but his eyes were scanning the cooking room, looking for a girl, but he didn’t find her.
“The secret is the sauce! No, to be precise, it’s the tomato sauce! I don’t know the specific cooking method of your sauce, nor do I know how long you spent researching it, but I have already developed a similar secret sauce, so I won’t lose to you this time!”
Soma Yukihira was full of vigor and stared at Tang Yi closely.
These words surprised Tang Yi a little. He didn’t expect that Soma Yukihira could taste the key to the dish.
However, in reality, the research for the sauce was done in the Dream Kitchen, which took a total of ten hours.
“So, have a cooking duel with me, Tang Yi!”
“It’s good to be passionate, but from what I hear you mean to use lasagna to compete, but that’s just a dish I learned by chance. I’m not really good at it, and I don’t mean to compete with you with it. So, Yukihira Soma, if you really want to compete with me, then use the rules of this school, food battle.”
Tang Yi waved his hands, showing no motivation at all. He had no interest in competing, nor in explaining.
“Not good at it?” Yukihira Soma frowned and said, “Don’t be ridiculous. How can you not be good at making such a special lasagna?”
Really bad at it!
Tang Yi opened his mouth but gave up on explaining. What he was good at was “carving delicious food.”
He dabbled in dishes like Italian lasagna and mackerel gnocchi, but he was not an expert at them.
Cooking is a vast subject and no one dares to claim to be proficient in everything. All chefs have one or several areas of expertise, and Tang Yi’s specialty is carving delicious food.
Just as Soma Yukihira was asking questions, a male teacher wearing glasses walked into the cooking room.
The teacher held a writing board in one hand and a pen in the other. He knocked on the door a few times and said loudly, “Okay, be quiet. Everyone is here. Although it’s very rushed, the class will officially start today.”
As he spoke, he flipped the writing board in his hand, and then continued: “You are in the third cooking lab. The professor will be here soon. Before that, I will divide you into groups. In order to balance the cooking skills of each group, the first place and the last place will form a team, and the second place and the second to last place will form a team. Then, based on this, there will be exactly 50 people and 25 groups. First, the first place Tang Yi, if you are here, raise your hand.”
As he spoke, the teacher looked up and saw Tang Yi at a glance.
“Very good, Tang Yi, you will be in a group with the last place, Megumi Tadokoro. Is Megumi Tadokoro here? If so, let me see her.”
All of a sudden, everyone in the cooking room began to look around.
“Yes, yes, teacher.”
A slender arm was raised in the crowd.
Tang Yi immediately looked over there, and as several girls moved away, he saw a shy little girl behind them.
Megumi Tadokoro has two braided braids, dark blue hair, a petite figure, and a weak voice, which makes people feel extremely unconfident at first glance.
As if realizing that she had become the focus, Tanomo Kei lowered her head and closed her eyes nervously.
Her delicate body was trembling a little, and a frightened expression appeared on her pretty face.
Suddenly, realizing that something touched her head, Tansho Kei trembled with fear.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked up to see a smiling face.
But this smile soon turned into a teasing evil smile.
Tang Yi stroked the girl’s head as if he were stroking a pet, and said, “Tan Suoke Hui, I’ll call you Xiao Hui. From now on, you’re mine, come with me.”
021 The Teacher Who Doesn’t Smile (Old Version)
(Is there anyone who can t sleep? -,-)
The grouping of students was carried out in an orderly manner, and soon, 25 groups of two were assigned.
The teacher with glasses finished his work and left after asking everyone not to make too much noise.
As soon as the teacher left, the atmosphere in the cooking room became strange again.
Tang Yi once again felt a series of sharp and hostile gazes.
Not only him, but also Tanomo Kei, who was in the same group with him, clearly discovered that she had become the public enemy in this cooking room since she didn’t know when.
“I’m going to die… I won the jackpot! I clearly decided to be inconspicuous, but why did I have to be in a group with this person? I will definitely become a discarded child, just like what General Nakiri said at the opening ceremony, I will become the 1% of discarded children in the training… wuwu~!”
Megumi Tanomo was talking to herself, trembling with fear at what she said.
Tang Yi rolled his eyes at her and waited until she finished mumbling to herself before he spoke.
“Hey, I heard that.”
Uooa …
Tanosuke Hui was frightened by Tang Yi’s sudden voice and covered her face and screamed, as if she was caught saying bad things about someone behind their back.
“Xiaohui, the teacher said not to make too loud noises. In other words, you are so noisy.” Tang Yi criticized mercilessly.
Tansho Kei’s entire body froze instantly.
“I’m actually disliked by the transfer student!”
“My name is Tang Yi. You seem very nervous. It turns out that what Yuuki and Ryoko said is right.”
Eh eh?!
When she suddenly heard the names of Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko, Tanadore Megumi looked up in surprise.
Tang Yi chuckled and said, “Actually, I just met them before, and they asked me to help you more. From what they heard, you are a child with good cooking skills, but you get nervous easily, so in the internal examination for promotion to the senior department, you gloriously took the last place, hahahaha…”
“I see. But please, please don’t make fun of me.” Tansho Kei was shocked and whispered, “I didn’t expect that Tang Jun and Ryoko knew each other.”
“I’m not making fun of you. It’s normal to be nervous, but being so nervous that you’re crouching on the ground with your head in your hands is outrageous.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi bent down and grabbed Tian Suo Hui’s hand, forcibly pulled her up, and said: “I just said that you are already mine. If you follow me, I promise that you will not be kicked out. Don’t worry.”
Megumi Tadokoro was still very afraid. After standing up, she could feel the situation around her better.
It was a look filled with hostility and dissatisfaction, enough to make the atmosphere as heavy as if one were in the deep sea.
It’s so uncomfortable! It’s like I can’t breathe if I continue standing here! What kind of nerves does this man have to be able to talk and laugh with me in this atmosphere?
Megumi Tadokoro’s trembling became more and more obvious. She lowered her head and looked at her shaking hands.
Seeing her like this, Tang Yi couldn’t help but shake his head in his heart, “This is a serious problem. She’s too timid, just like a weak little animal. I really want to bully her…”
The next moment, Tang Yi smiled and reached out to pinch Tanaka Hui’s chin.
“Look up.”
Megumi Tadokoro closed her eyes nervously, unaware that their actions were a little too intimate.
“Open your eyes.”
This time the tone was very gentle. Tansho Kei calmed down a little and tried hard to open her eyes.
Then she saw a hand with its middle finger bent, pointing at her forehead.
After a snap, Tansho Kei covered her forehead and cried out in pain.
“Why, why did you hit me…” With a few tears in the corners of her mouth, she wanted to make a fierce expression, but failed.
“You’re not nervous anymore?”
Hearing this, Tansho Kei suddenly realized that she was not shaking anymore.
“I really don’t tremble anymore…”
“Sudden pain will distract you, and if you lose your focus, you won’t feel as much tension.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi smiled more clearly, staring at the other person’s lips, and said, “Actually, there is a better way, but forget it, for fear of scaring you.”
“That’s amazing, thank you, Tang Jun.”
“No, no, you are my pet… No, you are my partner, that’s as it should be.”
“Hey…I really want to hear something extraordinary?”
“It’s your illusion. You’re too nervous and you’re hallucinating.”
“But I’m not so nervous now…”
Under Tang Yi’s deliberate guidance, the conversation between the two went very smoothly. Tansho Kei gradually realized that she no longer felt the pressure around her, but instead found it quite interesting to chat with Tang Yi.
This person is so amazing. He helped me resolve my emotions without me even realizing it.
Tanosuke Kei thought secretly in her heart, and suddenly felt a little admiration.
In contrast to her, the students around her were very unhappy.
Some boys in particular looked at Tang Yi with great anger.
It’s as if the males from outside have invaded their territory and are happily communicating with the females in their territory.
A few boys could no longer hold back and began to move towards Tang Yi.
However, at this moment, a middle-aged man with blond hair walked in.
The man was serious, had a stern face, and a red scarf around his neck. He walked to the front of the podium and looked at the students below.
“Good morning, young apprentices. From the moment you enter the kitchen, you are responsible for cooking delicious food. This has nothing to do with experience or position. In my class, anyone who does not receive an A will be considered an E! I am Roland Chapelle, the instructor in charge of your French cuisine course!”
When he finished speaking, the students in the audience were a little agitated, and all of them looked unhappy.
Tansho Kei turned pale with fear. “It’s over. I’m in Mr. Schapper’s class from the beginning. If I get another E, I’ll have to drop out!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was hit on the forehead again.
“You’re scaring yourself. That’s so stupid.” Tang Yi said with a smile.
Tadokoro Kei was in tears. Not only was she hit on the head, but she was also called stupid.
Lecturer Roland Chapelle didn’t pay any attention to the little commotion. He then opened his lesson plan and said, “Today’s menu is ‘Beef stew in Burgundy red wine’, a traditional dish in French cuisine. The recipe will be written on the blackboard. The time limit is 2 hours. Bring it up when you’re done. So, let’s begin!”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Tian Suohui looked at Tang Yi with a confident smile, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: “Mr. Tang, you are the first one, you must be very good at this kind of traditional cuisine, right?”
Hearing this, Tang Yi’s smile faded immediately, and he said seriously: “Of course… No, actually I can’t. It’s up to you, Xiaohui!”
Tanosuke Kei’s eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Tang Yi immediately supported her and was speechless for a long time, “Are you not afraid of being scared? How could I not know how to make this kind of home-cooked dish…”
022 Angry (Old Version)
(A new week, some flowers)
I could hear the sound of the knife colliding with the chopping board, “da da da da, da da da da”, very melodious, like a melodious piece of music.
Megumi Tadokoro opened her hazy eyes and saw a figure in her field of vision.
She has a straight body, wearing a white apron, and her right arm is shaking constantly. The melodious music comes from here.
Her vision gradually became clear, and Tanomo Megumi’s memories came flooding back all at once, and she soon recalled what happened before she fell into a coma.
“Oh, oh, I fell asleep during class!”
Suddenly waking up, Tansho Kei stood up from the ground like a ghost shrimp.
The music suddenly stopped. Tang Yi turned around and saw this scene. He smiled and said, “You’re awake.”
“Tang Yi, I’m sorry, I…!” Tanosuke Hui looked remorseful and aggrieved.
“Huh? I should be the one saying sorry. I shouldn’t have scared you. Actually, I knew how to do it. I just wanted to tease you. I didn’t expect you to faint.” Tang Yi shrugged helplessly.
“Eh?” Tansho Kei was stunned for a moment, then as if remembering something, she turned to look at the clock in the kitchen, her expression suddenly tense, “Fifty minutes have passed! I’m sorry, I can’t help at all…”
“It’s okay. I’m almost done by myself. Come and help me take out the stewed beef from the pot.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi continued to cut some side dishes.
Tansho Kei nodded quickly, cheered up and walked towards the stove.
She first turned down the simmering heat a little, and then gently opened the lid of the pot.
Suddenly, a stream of steam accompanied by a rich beef aroma rushed into my nose.
“It’s already cooked. Really, you’re scaring me. You obviously know how to make it.”
Megumi Tadokoro breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. She picked up the kitchen utensils and prepared to take the beef out of the pot.
At this moment, a boy happened to pass by. Maybe because the floor was too slippery, he didn’t step firmly, twisted his foot, and bumped into Tansho Kei.
Both of them exclaimed, and then the bottle of seasoning that the boy was holding flew into the sky, and after spinning a few circles, it fell accurately into the hot pot.
In an instant, a large amount of white granular substance in the seasoning bottle covered the entire piece of beef.
And because of the infiltration of the soup, these seasonings melt quickly.
“Ahh!” Tansho Kei exclaimed, looking at a loss.
“Oops, sorry, the floor is too slippery.”
The boy who caused the accident spoke in a pretentious manner, without any apology on his face.
While speaking, he did not look at the situation in the pot, but glanced at Tang Yi who was cutting side dishes, with a hint of mockery inadvertently revealed at the corner of his mouth.
There are still 70 minutes left. Based on previous observations, although this transfer student knows how to make beef stew in Burgundy red wine, he is not very good at it. If he wants to make it again, he will not have enough time. Even if he rushes to make it, the taste will never be satisfactory.
Humph, this is the consequence of arrogance and ignorance!
The boy thought secretly in his heart.
Tang Yi had stopped cutting vegetables, and the raised blade of the knife was suspended in the air.
“What, what should I do, Tang Yi?” Tanosuke Hui looked like she was about to cry.
Hearing this, Tang Yi slowly put down the kitchen knife, turned around and walked towards the little girl. He reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: “Since it was an accident, there is nothing we can do. Don’t cry, just do it again.”
“But time… It’s all my fault for not paying attention! Not only did I not help you, I also caused trouble for you. As expected, people like me…”
Tang Yi’s gentle comfort made Tanaka Hui’s grievances burst out all of a sudden, and tears were already accumulating in her big eyes.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Tang Yi immediately pinched her cheeks and pulled them to the sides.
“Don’t cry, I’m not angry, and I don’t blame you. Let’s do it again together, okay?”
” Um!”
After blinking hard, Tadokoro Hui wiped back her tears and nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Tang Yi smiled with satisfaction.
But this smile quickly faded, as if it had never appeared, and was replaced by a kind of contempt as if looking at a stink bug.
“You…what do you want to do?” The boy was startled and took a small step back unconsciously.
Tang Yi’s eyes became increasingly cold, and the boy could swear that was definitely not the way he looked at people.
It’s not just the level of contempt and disdain. Just looking at each other makes me feel cold all over.
Tang Yi came closer, looked down, and spoke coldly.
“It doesn’t matter how much trouble you cause me. I’m always here to accompany you. It doesn’t matter if you spoil the stewed beef. I can just redo it. These are just trivial matters and don’t matter. But I hate people who bully me. It doesn’t matter who you are, even the emperor. Be prepared. I’ll make you kneel down and apologize!”
After saying this, Tang Yi didn’t even look at the man. He turned around, took off his apron, opened the inner pocket of his clothes, and took out a slender knife wrapped in a black leather sheath.
With 70 minutes left, an ordinary knife won t do!
While thinking, Tang Yi said to Tian Suo Hui: “Xiao Hui, prepare new ingredients and beef. Time is a bit tight, so we have to speed up.”
Yes yes!
The stunned Tansho Kei finally reacted, wiped her tears, and took quick action.
The boys who were warned by Tang Yi didn’t even dare to breathe.
When Tang Yi questioned him face to face, his heart beat much faster.
It feels like if you refute something, you will be missing some limbs. It’s a sense of courage.
The source of this courage probably comes from the high confidence in one’s own cooking skills.
You want me to kneel down and apologize? Humph, you still dare to speak nonsense at this point, you will get an E rating later, idiot!
After being shocked, the boy became furious again.
He had been planning for a long time, but Tang Yi never gave him a chance. Until Tanomo Hui woke up, he couldn’t wait to take action.
“Damn it, I won’t be scared! Tang Yi, forget about getting an A. In every class from now on, I will make sure you get an E and get out of the academy as soon as possible!”
After venting his inner anger for a while, the boy straightened his clothes and returned to his kitchen counter without saying a word.
The new ingredients have been prepared, and a new piece of frozen beef is placed on the chopping board.
Tang Yi took two slow breaths and finally raised the knife in his right hand.
His movements were different from usual. He did not hold the handle with five fingers, but instead used his index finger, middle finger, and thumb to pinch the part between the handle and the blade.
The next moment, the knife fell.
Tanomo Kei only saw a little silver light flash by, and it seemed that nothing happened. The beef was still the same, without any change.
But Tang Yi’s actions will not stop.
He was like the conductor of a band, his right hand constantly moving up and down, and the silver blade flashed.
When Roland Chaper, the lecturer sitting on the podium, saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He thought of a man, a top chef named ‘The Bard’!
This knife skill ! This guy
023 Refreshing cuisine (old version)
(National chefs are national treasure chefs, and they are the ones who prepare state banquets.)
Tang Yi’s knife moved and was still, rising and falling, and sweeping left and right.
Every flash left a tiny cut on the frozen beef. The cut was not long, but very deep, and it was impossible to detect without careful observation.
Tanosuke Kei couldn’t understand it, she just thought the knife skills were magical and amazing.
In the third conditioning laboratory, only one person could see what Tang Yi was doing.
“Pushing and cutting, pulling and cutting, twisting and picking… using several knife techniques together and being so smooth, this student’s level is extraordinary! The key is that the wonderful way of holding the knife is like carving delicious food, but is there really any problem with that knife…”
Roland Chapelle stared without moving his eyes.
He had noticed the small accident between several students early on, but he didn’t want to care about it. It was not until he saw Tang Yi’s amazing knife skills that he couldn’t help but be surprised.
This is definitely not student-level knife skills!
Although Totsuki Junior High School also provides basic instruction in this area, it is impossible to reach this level in just three years of training.
“He’s only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can he master such knife skills? Impossible!”
Without more than ten years of accumulation, it would be impossible to reach this level!
Roland Chapelle couldn’t do it. He couldn’t help but take out the student list and found a name according to the location of the kitchen counter.
“Tang Yi? He’s actually a transfer student! And he’s from China…” Roland Chaper murmured incoherently, and after looking at Tang Yi’s actions again, he could no longer look away.
Tang Yi didn’t care about anything in the outside world. His mind was completely focused on the frozen beef in front of him.
The flying Chef King’s Blade took seven or eight minutes to completely stop.
And the moment he put down the knife, from the outside, the frozen beef on the chopping board did not change much.
“Xiaohui, stew the beef. You know how to do it, right?”
Hearing this, the stunned Tadokoro Kei finally reacted and asked in confusion: “Is it… that, now? But it will take more than an hour for the beef to become soft and flavorful.”
“It’s okay, just do as I say.” Seeing that she was still confused, Tang Yi had to add, “There are several ways to quickly soften the beef, but just softening it is not enough. When this dish is finished, I want people not to be tempted to challenge it!”
As he spoke, Tang Yi glanced at the boy in front of him and couldn’t help grinning.
“Let’s start. Simmer for 20 minutes, then put it into the wok and add the sauce in three batches! Quick!”
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Tanosuke Hui didn’t ask any more questions. She took a deep breath and did as Tang Yi instructed.
Tang Yi started to cut some side dishes, slicing onions and carrots, and stir-frying them in the pan.
Everything went smoothly. After the beef was stewed, it was taken out and put into the wok.
After being moistened by the hot oil, the color of the beef began to quickly turn brown and dark brown.
“Xiaohui, salt and pepper.”
“Spices. If you don’t have any, a bunch of herbs will do.”
“Ahh, here it is.”
Fine Burgundy red wine.
“I’ll get it!”
The vegetables that were fried earlier.
“here!”
Everything happened quickly, from putting the frozen beef into the boiling water pot and simmering it, to serving the fragrant red wine-braised beef on a plate, everything took only thirty-eight minutes.
Accompanied by the sizzling sound of frying, Tang Yi picked up the plate with one hand and walked towards the podium.
Roland Chaper had been observing the entire cooking process. When he saw Tang Yi and Tansho Kei coming over with the food, his Adam’s apple couldn’t help but move.
In just thirty-eight minutes, Chaper had an intuitive understanding of Tang Yi and was also very clear why the other party could prepare the food in such a short time.
Moreover, precisely because he knew this, he couldn’t help but look forward to it.
The amazing knife skills shown at the beginning are by no means fancy, but real superb culinary skills.
“Teacher, please taste it.”
Tang Yi walked to the front of the stage calmly and gently put the plate down.
On a white round porcelain plate, a thick piece of beef is bathed in a layer of thick soup. The beef is dark brown in color and has a strong aroma. It is embellished with vegetables, which makes people’s appetite increase.
Roland Chapelle finally picked up the cutlery, held the knife in his right hand, and pressed lightly on the beef with the side.
With a slight press, the surface of the beef suddenly collapsed, and then a stream of soup quickly overflowed, but soon, the amazing elasticity from inside the beef smoothed out the dent.
So soft!
Roland Chapelle’s eyes fixed, and he spoke subconsciously, “Not only is it soft, but after pressing it, a lot of the juice inside the meat also overflowed, carrying the aroma of the meat into the air… Amazing! What an amazing knife skill! It’s amazing!”
He was generous with his praise, even describing Tang Yi’s knife as miraculous.
This brief comment drew everyone’s attention in the kitchen.
All the students stopped what they were doing and looked at the food evaluation on the podium in surprise.
The boy who caused the accident before looked very bad at this time, and stared at Tang Yi with gritted teeth.
“How is it possible! It’s been less than forty minutes and it’s already done! This side has just been finished too!”
His partner, who was also a boy, rolled his glasses and said calmly, “Why are you in such a hurry? It only takes 40 minutes to prepare the dish. Even if it looks good, the taste inside is disappointing. Just wait and see. Teacher Shaper will soon destroy his confidence!”
As they talked, their eyes never moved away.
Because Roland Chapelle has already started tasting it.
He cut off a corner of the beef with a knife and slowly put it into his mouth.
Suddenly, the rich aroma of meat and the sweet taste of Burgundy red wine began to spread in the mouth.
This was the first feeling when he put it in his mouth, and then Shaper took a bite.
As the beef is squeezed and chewed, the juice contained in the meat quickly fills the mouth, bringing a different kind of surprise.
Gurgle.
The beef went down the esophagus and entered the taste.
“It’s delicious,” Chapel relaxed, a little smile on his stern face, “Tang Yi, I’ll give you an A…”
However, as soon as he said this, his expression suddenly changed.
His smile turned into surprise, and he widened his eyes, showing considerable shock.
Seeing this, Tang Yi smiled slightly and said, “Teacher, this dish will only show its true appearance after you swallow the beef.”
“What !”
Without him saying anything, Shaper had already felt the warm feeling, which spread in his stomach and then throughout his body.
This is a refreshing beef dish!
024 Shocked the Audience (Old Version)
A warm feeling starts from the stomach and spreads to every part of the body. A current of heat circulates in the body, like the caress of a mother’s hand, making one feel happy.
All the muscles in Roland Chaper’s body were completely relaxed, and his tense face also relaxed, revealing a very peaceful expression.
He seemed to have returned to his pure white infancy, lying in his mother’s warm arms, listening quietly to the lullaby.
All the fatigue and anxiety slowly disappeared under these gentle comforts.
“Teacher Shaper actually showed such an expression!”
The students below were stunned and could hardly believe their eyes.
“That ‘teacher who doesn’t smile’, Roland Chapelle, actually smiled! What on earth is that transfer student’s cooking?!”
Not only them, but even Tadokoro Megumi, who personally participated in the cooking, was stunned.
She couldn’t help but look at Tang Yi, but saw that he still had a faint smile on his face, as if he was not surprised by the result.
“Curious?” Tang Yi suddenly smiled playfully, “Would you like to try it? In our country, a perfect dish should focus on six aspects: color, aroma, taste, meaning, shape and nutrition. My cooking skills are limited, so I can’t achieve everything, but I am quite confident about the aroma, taste and nutrition.”
As he spoke, he had already picked up the knife and fork, cut off a piece, and put it into Tanomo Kei’s little mouth.
Hmm!
The little girl didn’t even have time to refuse, as a small piece of beef was stuffed into her mouth which was slightly open due to surprise.
As soon as the beef entered the mouth, the soup quickly flowed over the tongue, and Tansho Kei’s beautiful big eyes suddenly widened.
The sweetness of red wine, the aroma of beef, a trace amount of alcohol, and the taste of various side dishes are completely combined and burst out in the mouth.
That feeling is like living on the prairie, free from constraints, letting go of shame, taking off all clothes, returning to nature, running and singing as much as you want.
A group of healthy cows living on the grassland ran past us with full energy.
So happy
Tian Suoke Hui had never felt her body so relaxed. She opened her eyes and suddenly saw that the cows running past all had Tang Yi’s face, with a playful smile on their faces.
“Ah~~!” Tansho Kei was startled, and her shame made her cover her three points instinctively.
“How does it feel?” Tang Yi didn’t know what was in the little girl’s mind. Seeing her intoxicated face, he asked with a smile.
“Eh? That… is so soft, like it’s going to melt.” Tanaka Hui felt her cheeks getting hot, she covered them with her hands and whispered, “But why is it so soft?”
In her opinion, it would take more than 40 minutes to cook the beef to a medium-rare tenderness.
Although she had made beef stew with Burgundy red wine several times, this was the first time she had eaten such tender and delicious beef stew.
“Because it’s $119!” At this time, Roland Chapelle spoke up and said, “Tang Yi cut the surface of the frozen beef before stewing it. This method is very common, but to be able to do it like Tang Yi, you can’t tell without careful observation. This is simply a magical skill! This is the first time I’ve seen someone cook this home-cooked dish in such a unique way, greatly improving the tenderness and taste.”
Hearing this, Tang Yi chuckled and interrupted, “No, Professor Shaper, it’s not 119 cuts. There are 72 cuts for the front bevel, 36 cuts for the sides, and 21 cuts for the bottom, a total of 129 cuts!”
“Did I miss it?” Roland Chapelle murmured in surprise, and then asked, “Tang Yi, where did you learn your knife skills? It is impossible to achieve knife skills like yours without more than ten years of training. It also requires an excellent master and superb talent.”
Hearing this, Tang Yi didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
It is hard to say whether he has talent or not, he himself cannot judge, but he is often criticized by his father for not having a talent for cooking.
Moreover, it seemed that there was no master to teach knife skills. Tang Yi had been learning it slowly by observing his father.
From the age of three to sixteen, it took fourteen years of daily training to reach the current level. And this time, he also relied on the King of Cooks’ Blade, otherwise he would not be able to complete such a difficult knife skill.
In terms of difficulty alone, it is comparable to Thousand Silk Faces.
These thoughts flashed through Tang Yi’s mind, and in the end he just shrugged and said nothing.
Seeing this, Roland Chapelle did not force it. He sighed and said, “If you are interested, you can come to my private cooking room to find me. I want to teach you something in person. For a student with extraordinary talent like you, ordinary cooking courses are a waste of your life!”
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked.
“What is Lecturer Shaper talking about? He, he wants to teach that transfer student himself?! He’s basically trying to take him in as a disciple!”
The boy from before was completely stunned. He couldn’t believe that a dish that only took 40 minutes to cook could make the notoriously rigid teacher want to take him in as a disciple!
Tian Suohui was also shocked. She covered her mouth and took a long time to react. “Tang Yi, this is a good opportunity. Private teaching by Lecturer Shaper is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…”
However, Tang Yi calmly interrupted and said, “No. Thank you very much for the invitation from Professor Chapelle, but cooking is a very complicated skill. It is as boundless as the ocean, with countless islands, each different. I don’t want to stay in one place for too long. Besides, my specialty is not French cuisine.”
After hearing what he said, Chapelle closed his eyes and remained silent for a while before nodding and saying, “If this is your decision, I respect it. If you have any questions about French cuisine, you can always ask me.”
“Okay, thank you very much, lecturer.”
The people around were petrified; no one had expected this outcome.
Private instruction from a lecturer, such a priceless opportunity, and yet someone would refuse it!
“Okay, now I declare that Tang Yi and Tian Suoke Hui, I give you an A-level evaluation. It’s a pity that I don’t have the authority to give a grade higher than A. I will keep this dish of yours in mind.”
Tang Yi grinned and winked at Tanaka Hui.
025 Revenge Never Waits for an Expiration Date (Old Version)
(I got up specially to update, 2333)
Passed!
After hearing the result announced by Shaper, Tansho Kei finally put her mind at ease.
A pair of clear and beautiful big eyes looked at Tang Yi secretly, and a trace of longing rose in his heart uncontrollably.
Although this dish was cooked by the two of them together, Tansho Kei was very clear that almost all the key points were taken care of by Tang Yi alone.
“It seems like I have become a partner with a very great person!” she thought secretly.
At this time, after the review was over, Tang Yi did not leave, but spoke again, “Thank you for the review, lecturer. Now, I would like to ask the lecturer to do me a favor.”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“I’m going to have a shokugeki with someone to settle a minor dispute, and I’d like to ask Lecturer Schapper to be the judge.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi suddenly turned around and pointed a finger at the boy who had caused the trouble earlier, “As for the target of the food battle… it’s you!”
Something unexpected happened and everyone looked in the direction Tang Yi pointed.
One boy was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back, accidentally hitting his butt against the handle of the hot pot on the kitchen counter.
With a bang, the hot pan overturned and the oil in the pan splashed onto the boy’s arms and face. Instantly, a shrill scream was uttered.
Ahhh! It s so hot!!
This scene fell into Shaper’s eyes, and he nodded calmly.
It’s nothing more than a dispute between classmates. It’s best to resolve this kind of thing through food battle.
Before he could open his mouth to agree, Tang Yi had already taken a step towards the boy.
Perhaps it was the teachings of his parents when he was a child that Tang Yi believed that revenge should not be delayed overnight. He ignored the other party before in order to get an A-level evaluation as soon as possible.
Now that we have the results, it is natural to settle the accounts later!
“Your name is Yamaguchi Kappei, right?”
“Why, why do you know?” the boy said nervously, covering the burned area.
“I just glanced at the student’s watch before.” Tang Yi strode forward and walked in front of the other person in a few steps, getting very close to him. “Yamaguchi Kappei, you deliberately bumped into Xiaohui and threw the seasoning bottle into the boiling water pot, intending to ruin our cooking!”
“No, no, it was all an accident… the floor was too slippery.”
“Really?” Tang Yi looked coldly, taking advantage of his height, looking down at each other, “Anyone can talk, but why not take some practical action and compete with me. I’ll give you a chance, you can make any conditions you want. You can make me get out of here, or you can make me run around the world naked and call myself an idiot, it doesn’t matter. But if I win, you have to kneel down and apologize!”
Aggressive!
No matter who it is, one can feel a compelling aura from these words.
Tanosuke Hui clenched her hands nervously. She really wanted to say forget it, but speaking at this time would seem like undermining Tang Yi, so she could only watch quietly without saying a word.
Kappei Yamaguchi’s face turned red. Being called up in person, and in front of everyone, this was already an atmosphere that could not be refused.
“Why, why should I fight with you in a food battle?” After struggling for a long time, Kappei Yamaguchi snorted and said arrogantly.
“Are you afraid?”
“What…! Who would be afraid?!”
“Don’t say what you mean. Your body is shaking.”
“It was just a burn!” Kappei Yamaguchi yelled angrily.
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of being afraid. After all, that’s all you are.”
“You…! I told you, I’m not afraid of you!”
“Then follow my food battle.”
“Come on!”
Unable to hold back for a moment, Kappei Yamaguchi spoke angrily, and he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
Tang Yi snapped his fingers, turned around and said to Shaper, “Instructor, he agreed. Now I formally propose the conditions for the food battle. If I win, I require Kappei Yamaguchi to kneel down on the spot and apologize for knocking down Tadokoro Megumi and ruining our group’s cooking.”
Hearing this, Chapelle looked at Kappei Yamaguchi and said in a deep voice, “Both sides agree that the Shokugeki Battle can be held. I will report to the Shokugeki Administration Bureau, and an official judge and an odd number of judges will come. Before that, what about you? Kappei Yamaguchi, state your conditions.”
Chaper saw the cause and effect of this matter. He was very dissatisfied with students like Kappei Yamaguchi, and even looked down on them. When Tang Yi was in trouble, he didn’t mind helping.
In Totsuki Academy, everything is about food, and Tang Yi’s cooking satisfies him.
At this moment, facing this difficult situation, Kappei Yamaguchi’s struggle was useless.
He became more and more daring, but fortunately he no longer hid his purpose.
“Okay, you forced me to do that! If you lose, get out of Totsuki Academy naked. Totsuki is not a place for arrogant and ignorant Chinese like you to come!”
He yelled viciously.
These words made Tansho Kei frown, feeling very irritated.
What do you mean by Chinese people like you? We are all chefs studying to become students. We are equals and there is no distinction between any nationalities.
Just as I was about to say something, suddenly, a figure walked into the third conditioning laboratory, followed by a teasing voice.
Nakiri Erina put one hand on her waist, flicked her long hair, and said with a proud smile on her face, “I passed by here and heard the noise. I thought something had happened. It turned out to be you, Tang Yi.”
“Erina…” Tang Yi was speechless. Why did she suddenly appear?
It was like the stage play reached its climax and then the protagonist appeared.
“I knew it would turn out like this. I’ll have a good talk with you later about your speech at the opening ceremony this morning. Who taught you that?”
At this point, Nakiri Erina suddenly changed the subject and looked at Yamaguchi Kappei. She said in a cold tone: “My dear classmate, in Totsuki Academy, there is no distinction between countries. There is only the level of cooking skills. Cooking can determine everything. What you said just now involves provoking international issues. I will formally inform you of the punishment through the Ten Elite Council later.”
“What?!” Kappei Yamaguchi’s face suddenly turned pale.
If you are targeted by the Totsuki Ten Elites Council, you will have no chance of surviving in the academy!
“Erina-sama, why? He was the one who started it…!”
With a slight snort, Nakiri Erina said reluctantly: “It is true that he is a very annoying guy, but he is not so bored as to provoke a chef of your level.”
These words hit Kappei Yamaguchi hard. What’s the difference between this and calling you a waste in person?
“Since you guys are going to have a food battle, I’ll be one of the judges!”
As she spoke, Erina Nakiri glanced at Ye Tangyi.
The more you can taste his food, the better you will be able to understand his cooking skills, and then find a chance to defeat him!
026 I gave in (old version)
“What is she planning? She actually comes to help me?”
Tang Yi felt a little weird. Erina Nakiri, such a tsundere girl, would definitely not be so kind.
However, Tang Yi had no idea about her suggestion to serve as one of the three judges. Although Erina and he did not get along well, when it came to major issues, or in other words, when it came to matters like this, Erina Nakiri would not mix personal feelings into the equation.
Tang Yi still believes this very much.
After all, the last time he pretended to be an examiner, Erina Nakiri didn’t seem to bother him afterwards.
Did you forget?
“No, no… Lady Erina, you be the judge, I don’t want it!”
Kappei Yamaguchi was very resistant to the change in the situation, and he looked at Erina Nakiri with fear.
God’s Tongue! Once he is judged incompetent by God’s Tongue, his career as a chef is over!
“I don’t want it, absolutely not!”
After repeating the same thing several times, Kappei Yamaguchi was frightened and stepped back step by step. Suddenly, his feet slipped and he sat down on the ground.
Seeing him like this, Tang Yi suddenly lost interest.
“It’s so boring. It’s a waste of time to have a shokugeki with him. I originally wanted to let him eat the beef stew I made before, so that he would not be able to fight back and automatically give in. Now it seems that there is no need for that. I’m scared silly by Erina.”
Thinking of this, Tang Yi didn’t want to let the farce continue. He walked up to the fallen Yamaguchi Kappei and spoke.
“You have already agreed to a food battle, and now you want to admit defeat?”
“I, I give up! I apologize!”
As if he had found a way to survive, Kappei Yamaguchi nodded repeatedly without thinking, then quickly knelt down and apologized in a panicked tone.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have used such a mean method, please forgive me!”
You really gave in!
Tang Yi complained in his heart, but then he remembered that this was Japan, and kneeling down to apologize was a common occurrence.
The opponent was this kind of person, so Tang Yi completely lost the mind to care too much.
After a brief silence, he said calmly: “It’s not just me, there’s another person who needs your apology.”
“Tadokoro-kun, I’m sorry, please let me go! I won’t do that again!”
Seeing this pitiful look, Tansho Kei quickly waved her hands and said, “It’s okay, I’m not angry.”
“Thank you! Thank you!” Kappei Yamaguchi breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that the shirt under his school uniform was soaked with sweat.
First, Tang Yi forced him to participate in the food battle, and then Erina Nakiri showed up and wanted to be the judge. These two people are simply devils. You must never provoke them in the future!
However, before he could completely relax, Erina Nakiri’s dissatisfied voice rang out.
“Who allowed you not to lose the battle? Do you take food battles as a joke?”
Ahhhh!!
Kappei Yamaguchi was so scared that he rolled and crawled out, shouting as he ran: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Lady Erina, please let me go! I will never dare to attack Tang Yi again!”
Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri’s eyes suddenly widened, and a hint of shame and anger appeared on her delicate face.
This seemed to be saying that she stood up because of Tang Yi.
Although this is indeed the case, there is still a huge difference.
She just wanted to eat the food made by Tang Yi in order to defeat that guy, not for the guy himself!
“Boring!” Erina Nakiri gritted her teeth, and at the end, she glared at Tang Yi fiercely.
Tang Yi suddenly felt puzzled. “I don’t think I have offended you. Why are you angry?”
Hmph~!
With a soft snort, Erina Nakiri turned and left, not wanting to talk to Tang Yi at all.
“It’s really inexplicable.” Tang Yi curled his lips and thought secretly in his heart that he couldn’t guess what Erina Nakiri was thinking, and he was too lazy to guess.
Things have finally come to an end at this point.
Roland Chapelle also spoke at the right time, saying, “Let’s stop here. Disputes between classmates should be resolved by cooking, not some small actions, which will only make people look down on you. Okay, the team that has prepared the dishes, continue to bring them up.”
The first class was not pleasant at all.
Tang Yi had to reflect on himself and decided that it would be better to “be high-profile in work and low-key in life” in the future, otherwise things like this would never end.
After the course, Roland Chapelle did not report the farce to the Food Wars Authority.
However, Kappei Yamaguchi’s group still couldn’t avoid getting an E rating, which annoyed his partner because Kappei Yamaguchi ran away alone in the middle of the race.
At around four o’clock in the afternoon, the day’s classes ended, Tang Yi said goodbye to Tanomo Kei and returned to his dormitory, Hefengshe.
After a tiring whole day, Tang Yi returned to the dormitory and took a shower immediately.
It has to be said that there is only one public bathhouse in the Japanese-style house. Fortunately, Erina Nakiri is not there, which makes it convenient for Tang Yi.
After taking a shower and changing into a bathrobe, Tang Yi sat alone in the teahouse, sipping tea while flipping through the latest food magazines.
After getting to know Totsuki for some time, he had a subtle feeling.
In this academy, Chinese cuisine appears to be very low-key and does not deserve the title of the world’s best cuisine at all.
The entire Totsuki restaurant is heavily biased towards Western cuisine.
“I remember there is a Chinese cuisine research society in school, and there is a top ten chef in it.” Tang Yi knocked on the table and muttered with a frown, “Should I join that research society? Speaking of which, that top ten chef is too irresponsible and has not shown Chinese cuisine at all. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to take his place.”
At this moment, the door of the teahouse was suddenly opened, and Erina Nakiri appeared outside the door.
“You are here indeed!”
Seeing Erina Nakiri again, Tang Yi covered his forehead with a headache and said, “Miss, can you make some noise when you walk? What if you suddenly appear like a female ghost and scare people to death?”
Hearing him say this, Nakiri Erina blushed slightly and said angrily: “You are the female ghost!”
“Okay, okay, you have big breasts so you can talk.” Tang Yi was too lazy to argue with him.
Erina Nakiri subconsciously covered her chest with a look of shame and annoyance, “Pervert! I really want to cut open your brain and see if it’s full of obscene things!”
Tang Yi rolled his eyes and said jokingly: “Maybe there’s also your naked body?”
027 Must-Have Dish (Old Version)
Hearing such exciting words suddenly, Erina Nakiri’s face turned red with embarrassment.
“What! What did you say?”
“I’m just teasing you. Tell me, what do you want from me?”
Tang Yi didn’t believe that Erina Nakiri would look for him for no reason. If possible, she would probably want him to move out of the Japanese-style house as soon as possible. Although the Japanese-style house was a large place, there were still many inconveniences for a single man and a single woman to live together.
Erina Nakiri took a deep breath and reminded herself in her heart that she must not be led by Tang Yi and get into trouble.
“Now that school has officially started, shouldn’t you pay your accommodation fees, water, electricity, gas, kitchen usage fees, and food fees?”
“Huh?” Tang Yi was stunned for a long time, “I still have to pay?”
“You didn’t think it was free, did you?” Nakiri Erina smiled, crossed her arms, and looked at the stunned Tang Yi with great joy in her heart. “The Japanese-style dormitory is one of the high-end dormitories on campus, and the fees are quite high. I have always paid for it alone before. Now that you have moved in, you naturally have to bear the corresponding fees… If you can’t afford it, it’s not too late to move out now.”
Seeing her cunning look, Tang Yi calmed down, drank a sip of tea leisurely, and asked, “How much?”
“One million a month.”
puff!
Tang Yi almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.
He coughed several times and said, “Can you rob money so openly? Even if I stay in a hotel, I don’t need so much.”
“I have waived your kitchen usage fee and food expenses, and I will just charge you for accommodation.” After admiring Tang Yi’s embarrassing look for a while, Erina Nakiri found herself extremely happy from the bottom of her heart.
“Tell me, what are the conditions? You’re not really coming to me just to get money.” Shaking his head, Tang Yi calmed down again.
“Hmph~” Erina Nakiri frowned, pursed her lips, and said, “Come with me to the kitchen.”
As she said that, she turned around and walked ahead. Tang Yi shrugged and had to put down the food magazine and follow her.
The two soon arrived at the luxuriously remodeled kitchen.
As soon as I came in, Erina Nakiri brought out a dish from the kitchen counter and placed it on the dining table.
“Try it.”
“What the hell are you doing?” Tang Yi glanced at the food, which turned out to be lasagna. “You want me to eat it?”
“I have learned how to perfectly preserve the flavor of the lasagna you made for the last transfer student exam. I have to thank you for letting my divine tongue taste it. It has been stored for an hour. Try it and see if it is more delicious than the one you made.”
That’s too much to ask.
For most chefs, this is tantamount to a provocation.
However, Tang Yi didn’t care. He estimated that Erina Nakiri would not be so childish as to really want to provoke him.
“I see. You have been studying my dish in the kitchen since two days ago. Now that it has come out, you want me to help you identify it?”
“No!”
“Okay, okay, you are right about your big breasts.” Tang Yi said perfunctorily.
“Stop talking nonsense. If you do me this favor, I will waive your rent for one month!” Erina Nakiri said concealedly.
“Tsk, tsk, why bother beating around the bush? If you speak directly, I won’t refuse to help you with such a small favor. Really, it’s so tiring to get along with you.”
“What do you care?”
Tang Yi didn’t continue talking nonsense with her. He thought that if he said a few more words, she would go crazy again.
Immediately, he walked to the dining table and sat down, then picked up the cutlery, cut off a small piece and put it into his mouth.
Tang Yi took the cold lasagna in his mouth and began to chew and taste it quickly. At this time, the divine tongue expanded the sense of taste to the limit of human beings!
Special tomato sauce, freshly picked shallots, fresh milk that has been stored for no more than a day, a small amount of German sugar, refreshing carrots, and minced beef…
In an instant, Tang Yi tasted thirteen flavors, and with the second chewing, the various flavors mixed together to form a very unique sweet taste.
“Yeah, not bad, delicious.”
Tang Yi made a brief comment, not bothering to use a fork, and simply grabbed the lasagna with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
It took him a while to finish eating, and he picked up the milk on the table to moisten his mouth.
“Very good, worthy of being a chef at the top ten level.”
Nakiri Erina had been watching him eat, and only then could she help but ask, “Is that all?”
“What are these?”
“Evaluation. I mean, how did you do compared to me? Don’t you understand that?”
Tang Yi pondered for a while, thinking back, “It tastes better than what I made. You have a good grasp of the sauce. This dish tastes better when it’s cold than when it’s just out of the oven. The slight heat goes with the sweetness. Well done, Erina.”
“What? Such a condescending attitude!”
Erina Nakiri was quite unhappy. Even though she got the evaluation she wanted, she still felt like a loser.
If she knew that Tang Yi only studied for ten hours, she probably wouldn’t find it strange.
Tang Yi didn’t care about winning or losing at all. If after spending two days, Erina Nakiri still couldn’t make lasagna of the same standard or even slightly better than his, then her divine tongue would have been wasted.
“I’m full, thank you for the treat.”
After washing his greasy hands, Tang Yi said goodbye and prepared to leave.
“Wait.” Erina Nakiri blocked the kitchen door first.
“What are you going to do? I tell you, I will never let you succeed. Even if you get my body, you can’t get my heart.”
“Who wants your body!” Nakiri Erina’s chest heaved with anger. She took a deep breath and spoke seriously, “I cooked for you, you have to give something in return, otherwise it’s not fair.”
“Huh?” Tang Yi’s gaze suddenly became strange, and he looked the other person up and down.
“Don’t get me wrong, I just don’t want you to eat the food I cooked for nothing!”
He speaks in a hostile manner but acts honestly.
Tang Yi guessed that she just wanted to test his cooking skills. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, “Sure, three months’ rent.”
“3 million for 3 months. I’ll cook Chinese food that’s worth the price once.” Tang Yi smiled confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ll show you my expertise.”
Specialized in the field, killer dishes!
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri was suddenly moved.
She doesn’t care about money. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to eat Tang Yi’s signature dish.
“Okay! It’s a deal!”
028 The Thoughts of Two People (Old Version)
Since he has promised Erina Nakiri, Tang Yi will not do it perfunctorily.
What we are going to make this time is not mackerel pasta, nor lasagna, nor beef stewed in Burgundy red wine, but authentic Chinese cuisine.
“Erina, I’ll make you dinner and you’ll help me pay for this semester’s accommodation fees. It’s 4 million yen in total. If you think about it, you’re still losing money.”
Just as he was about to take action, Tang Yi’s conscience prevented him from pretending to be ignorant.
Moreover, this seems a bit like being a gigolo, which he doesn’t like. He doesn’t like owing others anything.
“Are you okay?” Erina Nakiri showed a suspicious look. That annoying Tang Yi actually had a guilty conscience.
“Of course I’m fine. I just think you’re being taken advantage of. I don’t like owing people anything.”
“You scared me.” Amusement soon appeared in Erina Nakiri’s clear and beautiful eyes.
I see. This annoying guy has an unexpected weakness.
Erina Nakiri thought happily in her heart, just like a little girl who had found a new toy.
“Your eyes make me uneasy.” Tang Yi felt a little uneasy and shook his head and said, “Tell me quickly, what do you want?”
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri strolled to the dining table and sat down leisurely. Her sitting posture was very decent, and she looked noble and elegant, very ladylike.
“Well… I can’t think of anything right away, and I don’t lack anything.”
After hesitating for a long time, she tilted her head and spoke.
You know what, it was at this moment that Tang Yi thought she was quite cute.
“Well, you owe me five wishes. I’ll tell you when I think of one.”
Tang Yi couldn’t help but chuckled and said, “Five? Girl, dreaming is not good.”
“one!”
Tang Yi raised his index finger with a serious expression.
“No, four! I gave you 4 million!”
“You think you’re buying vegetables at the market, and you’re still bargaining. Two, no more.”
Seeing how decisive he was, as determined as a soldier rushing to the battlefield, Erina Nakiri immediately chose to take a step back.
“Everyone take a step back and share three wishes.”
“Okay, it’s a deal.” Tang Yi showed a triumphant smile, rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare the dishes. “Tonight’s dinner is your first wish, so there are two left. Think carefully, Erina.”
Upon hearing this, Nakiri Erina immediately became anxious, “Don’t cheat, you can’t cheat like this! This is different from what you just said.”
One of the three wishes that had just been agreed upon was used up in the blink of an eye.
Erina Nakiri actually felt a little painful, and it was a subconscious reaction, which made her very unhappy.
“Tsk, I won’t let you suffer a loss, how about this, I’ll take out one of my three best Chinese dishes.” Tang Yi walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and took out a plump watermelon from it, “…Its name is ‘Red Sea Qiongguang White Jade Tower’!”
Just hearing the name made Erina Nakiri stunned and forget about the verbal argument.
“Red Sea Qiongguang Baiyulou? What kind of cuisine is this? Just from the name, I can’t figure it out at all.”
“It’s not anything fancy, just a carved delicacy.”
Tang Yi smiled mysteriously and took out the extremely sharp Kitchen King’s Blade from his inner pocket.
This time, the dinner didn’t end until after ten o’clock.
Erina Nakiri tasted the “Red Sea and White Jade Tower” made by Tang Yi. This carved dish made her feel uneasy for a long time.
Lying in bed, Erina Nakiri was completely unable to fall asleep.
Her mind was filled with that unforgettable dish, which was like a branding iron, deeply imprinted in her heart.
“That’s not just a delicacy, that’s already art! That annoying guy…”
Erina Nakiri bit her lip, feeling complicated in her heart.
Before today, she mostly hated Tang Yi. She hated him very much, 90% of the time. That guy was a pervert and a sex maniac, and he always made her anxious.
If possible, she didn’t want to see that annoying face at all.
Until she saw tonight’s carved treats!
She had to admit that no matter how much she disliked Tang Yi, it could not hide the admiration she felt for Tang Yi at that moment.
“My divine tongue has tasted it, I watched him make it, and I know how he made it, but I can’t do it! I can’t make that delicacy!”
This made Erina Nakiri very unwilling, but at the same time, inexplicably excited.
Such an amazing person lives next to her! As long as she goes out and walks a few dozen steps, she can see the stupid and funny sleeping posture of that person!
What s more important is that this person still owes her two wishes!
“But, it’s still so annoying!” Suddenly, Erina Nakiri turned sideways, pulled up the quilt, and covered her head. “Ah, so annoying! So annoying!”
After a long while, she continued to mutter as if she were talking in a dream.
“But… it’s really amazing…”
Dormitory No. 3 is just a few dozen steps away.
Tang Yi also couldn’t fall asleep. He lay under the quilt, rubbing his right wrist.
“It’s so sour. I haven’t made it for a long time. My skills are not so good. No, I have to practice more in the future. Anyway, why did I choose this delicacy? It’s really a ghost!”
Unable to help but complain about himself, he stroked his chin and muttered doubtfully, “Is it true that men like to show off in front of women?”
After thinking about it carefully, Tang Yi had to admit that Erina Nakiri was naturally beautiful, but it was a pity that her awkward personality ruined her angelic appearance.
While complaining in his heart, Tang Yi soon fell into sleep.
In the dream, he played happily with an angelic girl and did all kinds of naughty things.
Suddenly at some point, this pure angel leaned over and kissed him.
Tang Yi was very nervous and expectant, however, when the pure white angel approached, he suddenly realized that the face was actually Erina Nakiri!
In an instant, Tang Yi was awakened by a nightmare with sweat all over his forehead.
“Damn it, I’m thinking about sex!”
029 Full Kitchen Tree (Old Version)
It was not until midnight that Tang Yi’s turbulent teenage heart calmed down and he fell into a peaceful sleep.
Dream kitchen.
It was still the same luxurious, dreamy kitchen. This was Tang Yi’s fourth time coming here.
“art?”
Looking around, Tang Yi didn’t see the great gourmet and couldn’t help but call out softly.
A warm white light suddenly appeared in front of Tang Yi. The light quickly expanded and formed a white egg. When the egg expanded to the size of a watermelon, it suddenly cracked open. The great gourmet Yi flapped a pair of fairy wings and flew up gently.
The little goblin stretched lazily, looking beautiful, blinked her sleepy eyes, and spoke lazily.
“It’s such a slow day, Don. Are you accompanying your little lover?”
“Are you talking about Erina?” Tang Yi rolled his eyes at the little devil and said, “It’s not what you think. Adults also have their own troubles, such as money and so on.”
“Let’s stop talking nonsense. Before we start today’s cooking, I want to know how many food points I currently have.”
“393 points. Huh? That’s a big increase. Nakiri Erina actually gave you 91 gourmet points! What’s going on?”
Tang Yi already knew everything about the food spots.
As long as you have eaten the food he cooked and given a review, his food points will be automatically increased, but the same person can only do so once a day.
The food points provided by the great gourmets each time are between 0 and 100, while the rest of the ordinary people provide between 0 and 10.
“91 points? Probably because of that carved delicacy.” Tang Yi said uncertainly: “Forget it, there’s no point in worrying about it. Yi, can I exchange it for cooking skills now?”
“Tang can exchange cooking skills at any time, but unfortunately, even the cheapest cooking skills require 1,000 food points.”
If it s just 1,000 food points, it s not a lot and can be accumulated in about one to two weeks.
After thinking for a while, Tang Yi asked again: “What about the ‘Power of Ice’ and ‘Power of Fire’ that you asked me to choose at the beginning? How much of each do I need?”
“Well, how should I put it? It’s quite complicated. Let me show you the skill tree.”
Yi raised her slender index finger and pointed it into the air.
A wave of water rippled in the space, and then a tree-like figure appeared in front of Tang Yi’s eyes.
There are grey dots on the graph, and each dot is connected by a unidirectional grey line.
Looking from the bottom up, the higher you go, the more lines and dots you see, just like a tree growing from the roots and radiating countless branches and leaves to the top.
“This is the ‘All-Cook Tree’. If Tang can light up one tenth of it, Tang will become the most outstanding chef, the God of Cooking!” Yi smiled and said, “Look at the bottom, there is only one dot, and it is your starting point.”
Tang Yi followed his gaze and found the starting point of the entire skill tree.
When his eyes rested on the dot, a piece of information emerged in his mind.
The spirit of a technician: A qualified chef must possess the most basic spirit of a chef, which is the first step on the road to becoming a culinary god.
Lighting up required: 100 Food Points
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment. He guessed that this cooking skill was a skill without any practical use, but it was something that must be lit up.
Sure enough, Yi said at this time: “Tang can light it up. Only by lighting it up can you learn the following cooking skills. Of course, there are special cases, such as your current Divine Tongue, which is a reward for you, and it is located here in the full kitchen tree shape!”
As he spoke, Yi pointed upwards.
Tang Yi took a look and saw a dot emitting golden light on one side of the upper middle part of the tree.
Divine Tongue: The pinnacle of human taste, it can instantly read the ingredients and cooking methods of the dishes being tasted, and automatically calculate the best recipes at the moment based on the owner’s cooking skills and knowledge of gourmet food.
Lighting required: Already lit
“I see. So, I have to climb up one level at a time to learn some ultimate cooking skills?”
“Yes.”
Hearing this, Tang Yi looked at the rest of the dots again, but unfortunately, except for the origin at the bottom and the already lit God’s Tongue, the rest could not be read.
At this point, there is no need for Yi to continue explaining.
Immediately, Tang Yi spent 100 food points to light up the “Spirit of Technician”.
Suddenly, a sense of tenacity surged into his mind and nourished his whole body. It seemed that at this moment, Tang Yi’s yearning for cooking was completely aroused.
As the initial cooking skills were lit up, three rays of light immediately turned from dim to bright and extended out.
These three bright lines are connected to a dot respectively.
Increased wrist strength, increased energy, and improved endurance.
The food points required for all three are the same, 200 points.
After a little hesitation, Tang Yi chose the first one, which was to increase his wrist strength.
This is the most basic thing for a chef. If you want to cook, hold the handle of the pot firmly, or use difficult knife skills for a long time, lighting it is the wisest choice.
Tang Yi spent 300 food points like water, but he didn’t feel any pain at all.
He could clearly feel that his wrist strength had at least increased a lot at this moment, a very noticeable amount.
It s like being a lightweight weightlifter before and now suddenly becoming a middleweight weightlifter, directly skipping a stage!
“Now if I am asked to make that delicacy carving again, I won’t feel any difficulty at all. It turns out that delicacy points are good things. If you rely on training, you can’t reach this level without a month of hard work!”
Tang Yi murmured happily.
“Of course, the Great Gourmet System exists to train chefs as quickly as possible!” Yi said with a smile, “Tang, I’m hungry, hurry up and cook for me!”
“What do you want to eat? Well, I’ll decide today. Let’s have a Japanese dish I just learned, Japanese-style Tamagoyaki!”
An hour later.
Yi smacked her lips and said unhappily, “30 points!”
early morning.
Tang Yi vaguely heard some footsteps, and then the door was suddenly opened and a voice rushed in.
“Tang Yi, skip class today and go to Food Wars with me!”
030 Erina’s Food Wars (Old Version)
(Today is the fourth update~! Here comes a wave of flowers to support~~ The new book list is still a long way from the top three TT)
A refreshing voice came, Tang Yi’s eyelids trembled, and he opened a crack, but he saw Erina Nakiri’s face as usual.
“It’s you… Please stop disturbing me and let me sleep a little longer. How many times do you think I made ‘Japanese-style Tamagoyaki’ last night?”
The further he spoke, the weaker his tone became. Tang Yi even turned around and faced the door.
“Don’t sleep anymore, get up.”
Looking at him hiding in the quilt like a dead pig, Erina Nakiri couldn’t help but pursed her lips, walked to the head of the bed, and spoke again.
“So, what are you doing? Why did you come to my room?” Tang Yi was immediately helpless and could only respond reluctantly.
“Come with me to the food battle.”
“Shokugeki?”
“Yes, someone challenged me.” Erina Nakiri chuckled.
“No,” Tang Yi refused without thinking and buried his head in the quilt again, “Why should I accompany you to participate in your food battle? Did you take your medicine?”
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri immediately became angry, “The car is waiting outside, hurry up!”
As she spoke, she bent down, grabbed Tang Yi’s hand, and wanted to pull him up by force.
“Wait…wait, I’m not wearing any pants, do you want me to go in shorts?”
Tang Yi had a look of astonishment on his face. Erina probably thought she had her period today, so she not only barged into his bedroom, but also insisted on dragging him to some food battle.
Seeing this, Erina Nakiri’s pretty face blushed slightly, and she immediately let go and turned around, saying shyly: “Hurry up, I’ll wait for you outside.”
After a while, Tang Yi got dressed, brushed his teeth and washed his face before going out. As soon as he went out, he saw Erina Nakiri waiting outside.
“Erina, what the hell are you doing?”
“There is an ignorant commoner who challenges me. I want you to see the end of an incompetent person. I hope you won’t make a fool of yourself someday.”
As always, Erina Nakiri had the smile of the Ice Queen on her lips.
Tang Yi really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Can we talk properly? Never mind, whatever you want. I have a class at nine o’clock today. Bye.”
“Hehe, if I had known you would say that, I would have already requested sick leave for you in advance.” Erina Nakiri chuckled, looking a little proud.
Tang Yi’s steps suddenly froze, and a thousand horses were galloping through his heart.
Although it was just a French cooking class, it didn’t matter whether I attended or not, but what was the point of asking for leave? Who are you to ask for leave casually?
“You mean, I skipped class on the second day of school to accompany you to participate in some food battle. Do you think I have that much free time?”
“I won’t treat you unfairly.” Seeing that Tang Yi was a little angry, Nakiri Erina had to explain, “I can lend you a kitchen in the sixth building of my dedicated cooking building. You don’t have a private kitchen yet, right?”
Hearing this, Tang Yi’s heart moved, and he immediately sighed and said: “Erina, you are such a strange person, too polite! We are all friends, it’s just a small matter, let’s go.”
After hearing these contrasting words, Erina Nakiri was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or remain speechless.
With a fake cough, Erina Nakiri suppressed the subtle urge to laugh in her heart.
“Come with me, the car is waiting outside.”
Soon, the two got into a high-end car and headed to the cooking building.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped under a building in the teaching area.
As soon as Erina Nakiri got off the car, a beautiful girl came up to her from a distance.
“Good morning, Lady Erina!” Arato Hisako greeted with great respect. After she finished speaking, she saw Tang Yi getting out of the car. Her face froze immediately. “Why are you in Lady Erina’s car?”
“Hey, good morning, Feishazi.” Tang Yi responded cheerfully.
“Who, who told you to call my name casually!” said Xinhu Hisako with a blushing face.
In Japan, calling someone by their first name is a sign of intimacy.
Of course, Tang Yi didn’t care. He just called it whatever came easier.
“Hisako, I brought him here.” Nakiri Erina interrupted, “Let’s not talk about that for now, what about them?”
“The members of the Chanko Nabe Research Society are already at the competition venue in Culinary Building B.”
“Hmph, what an impatient group of people. Let’s go!” Erina Nakiri said with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, in an imposing manner.
Tang Yi followed inexplicably and couldn’t help but say, “Feishazi, explain it to me.”
Arata Hisako was a little repulsive to Tang Yi, especially today, when Erina Nakiri brought him along, which made her feel a sense of crisis!
Hearing Tang Yi’s question at this time, Niito Hisako subconsciously glanced at Erina, and seeing her nod, she had no choice but to hand over a document.
“See for yourself.”
Tang Yi took it and started reading it, and soon understood what was going on.
The document is titled “Shokugeki Notice” and is signed by the Director of the Shokugeki Administration, Hisahiro Keiura.
The content is also very simple, just a notification.
The two opponents, “Lady Nakiri Erina” and “Lady Goudabayashi Kiyoshi, the leader of the Chanko Nabe Research Association”, will have their official shokugeki battle at 10 a.m. on April 2 at the dedicated competition venue on the second floor of the B Culinary Building.
“I see. I remember this part. The result was that the research institute lost.”
Tang Yi understood it all at once, and then returned the document to Hisako Nijima, and said, “Erina, why did you ask me to come here? It’s not possible that I’m going to fight in your place, right? Anyway, your name is on the notice, and it’s too late to change it now.”
“No, I just want you to taste the food I’m going to make later.” Erina Nakiri said as she walked, her tone full of confidence.
Is there such a good thing?
Tang Yi felt like a piece of cake had fallen from the sky. Letting him taste the food was like giving him a recipe, wasn’t it? Moreover, they gave him a kitchen for free afterwards. There was nothing better than this.
All of a sudden, Tang Yi felt that Erina Nakiri was ten times cuter.
If you look closely, this girl has a good figure, a pretty face, and big breasts. She is simply perfect!
“Tasting the food? Leave it to me. I’m the best at this, you know.”
031 “Perfect” Chanko Nabe (Old Version)
The words “you understand” immediately made Erina Nakiri’s face blush, and she couldn’t help but recall the scene on the day of the transfer student exam.
The group entered the B cooking building in silence, and after going up to the second floor, they were greeted by several men in black suits.
“Good morning, Ms. Erina!”
Three or five men greeted in unison, their voices quite uniform.
“Good morning, everyone.”
Erina Nakiri did not stop, she walked past the few people, walked forward, then turned right and entered a lounge.
Tang Yi also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Xinhu Feishazi.
“What are you doing?” Xin Hu Fei Sha’s eyes widened, and he said, “You are a peeping Tom! Do you want to do it openly this time?”
Tang Yi didn’t understand what was going on, and his eyes subconsciously passed through the gap in the door which was not completely closed yet.
After entering the room, Erina Nakiri had already started taking off her clothes. When Tang Yi looked over, she was unzipping her skirt.
“You’re still looking! No more looking!” Xinhu Feishazi bared his teeth at Tang Yi, like a loyal puppy protecting its master.
As she spoke, she closed the door tightly with her backhand.
Tang Yi touched his nose and smiled: “You are really sincere… so cute.”
“But, cute…” Arata Hisako was so embarrassed that she glared at Tang Yi fiercely and said, “Don’t even think about peeping at Lady Erina changing clothes while I’m here!”
“I’m a gentleman, please rest assured. If you really want to, I have plenty of opportunities in Hefengshe.” Tang Yi rolled his eyes at him and said, “Forget it, since you are so worried, I’ll go to the venue first.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Although girls changing clothes sounded mysterious and tempting, he was not hungry enough to peek.
After asking the men in suits, Tang Yi quickly found the dedicated venue for the competition.
After a while, Tang Yi arrived at the waiting room for the competition.
Not sure if he had come to the wrong place, but when Tang Yi came in, he saw a group of people busy cooking in front of the stove.
To be precise, it was a fat man in a kimono who was making the hot pot, while the other seven or eight people stretched out their spoons to taste it.
“Senior Hao Tianlin, this is so delicious! It’s so flavorful! It’s definitely the best hot pot in our research group!”
“That’s right, Commander. It can definitely defeat that Nakiri Erina!”
“I think so too, Captain. This hot pot has reached perfection! We have had enough of this woman, Erina Nakiri. Let’s defeat her!”
After tasting it, several tasters were amazed.
Being praised like this, the man in kimono, Hao Tianlin, felt a little embarrassed. He glanced around and found someone walking into the waiting room.
“First-year student Zhang? Who are you?”
Tang Yi couldn’t help showing a little sympathy, “Wow… Want to defeat Erina? Is this dish so good? Let me try it.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi walked straight over, completely ignoring the angry looks of the others, picked up the soup spoon, scooped a ladle from the hot pot, and put it into his mouth to taste.
No one expected Tang Yi to be so bold, and when they wanted to stop him, it was too late.
As the fresh soup entered his mouth, Tang Yi’s divine tongue instantly expanded his sense of taste to the limits of human beings.
After savoring it carefully, he couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
It s delicious.
After hearing this comment, the group of people who were glaring at him suddenly relaxed.
“Who are you and how did you get in here? If you are not a contestant or a related person, you will not be allowed to enter a place like this!”
Hearing this, Tang Yi gently put down the spoon, looked up at the man in kimono, and smiled: “I guess you are the senior Gou Tianlin of this food battle. Nice to meet you. I am Tang Yi, a first-year student.”
“Tang Yi… the Chinese guy who made such a big fuss at the opening ceremony?” Hao Tianlin frowned and looked at Tang Yi with an unfriendly expression, “What are you doing here?”
“Nothing, just went to the wrong place.”
Waving his hand, Tang Yi turned around and was about to leave. But just as he took a step, he couldn’t help but say, “Senior Gou Tianlin, I just said ‘really delicious’, but that was based on the evaluation of a mortal. If your opponent is Erina, I have to say that there is a dimensional gap between you two.”
“What did you say!?”
At this moment, not only Hao Tianlin, but also the others were glaring at Tang Yi angrily.
“What do you mean? You mean, have you tasted the food that Erina Nakiri is going to cook?” Goda Lin looked ugly and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.
“Hahaha… I haven’t tasted it, but I have tasted your sumo hot pot. There is indeed no problem with the combination of ingredients, and the compatibility of each ingredient is also very good. But…” At this point, Tang Yi’s tone became serious, “I’m sorry, your cooking skills are not up to par. There are at least 20 places in this dish that need improvement. Details determine success or failure!”
“You bastard!” Hao Tianlin was completely enraged, veins popping out on his forehead, “How dare a transfer student, a first-year kid…!”
“How dare you speak so arrogantly?” Tang Yi grinned, his eyes were completely different from his usual cheerfulness, full of aggression, “Senior, please remember one thing, at any time, no one should underestimate the Tongue of God!”
After saying this, Tang Yi lost interest in pointing out the other party’s shortcomings and swaggered out of the lounge.
“Goodbye, I look forward to you creating miracles, senior.”
The competition venue for the official Shokugeki Battle is large enough to accommodate thousands of spectators.
Tang Yi was lost for a long time before he finally found Erina Nakiri’s lounge.
After pushing the door open, he saw a blonde girl in snow-white clothes and was stunned.
“Where have you been? Are you thinking you’re lost?”
“Erina?”
After confirming the other party’s identity through language, Tang Yi became even more surprised.
Erina in front of me was wearing a snow-white chef uniform, and her slender figure and proud breasts were set off by this outfit, making her look very attractive. Although it was wrapped very tightly, there was an unexpected temptation of a different kind of uniform.
Moreover, her long golden hair, which was usually loose, was now tied into a single ponytail.
“As long as a woman dresses up a little, she will become a completely different person. The ancients were right…”
Tang Yi sighed.
“What? You’ve been staring at my breasts…so disgusting~!” Erina Nakiri protected the proud thing on her chest, her eyebrows furrowed, revealing an expression of disgust.

Food Wars: Food Wars: 032 Italian Shrimp Ravioli Pictures and Text
The white chef’s uniform exudes innocence, and coupled with Erina Nakiri’s perfect figure, it really brings a sensory enjoyment.
Tang Yi stroked his chin, admiring Erina’s unique style, and commented: “You look really beautiful in this. The women’s chef uniforms of Totsuki Academy are really nice.”
This was the first time that Erina Nakiri had experienced being praised for her beauty in person by a man other than her relatives. Most boys couldn’t even raise their heads in front of her, let alone receive equal praise.
But what about the second half of the sentence?
The girl, who was originally a little happy, immediately turned the joy that had just risen into shame and anger in her beautiful eyes.
Yuanyue’s chef uniform is nice? Does that mean I won’t be pretty if I don’t wear it?
Sure enough, this guy is the same as before, so annoying! No change at all!
Erina snorted, turned her head away, and said in a nonchalant tone: “Really? Everyone will wear them in class tomorrow, so you can have a good look at them!”
It s not as good-looking as what you wear.
Of course, Tang Yi wouldn’t say it.
He chuckled twice, walked around Erina and sat down on the sofa, then took a food magazine from the magazine rack and began to read it leisurely.
Seeing that he didn’t say a word, Erina Nakiri felt like she was being angry alone, like a fool. She couldn’t help but snorted and sat down opposite Tang Yi.
In the lounge, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Tang Yi was very happy that he could read quietly.
I don t know how much time had passed, but the clock on the wall pointed to ten o clock.
At this time, a cute girl’s voice came from the indoor broadcast.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. I’m the host of this Shokugeki Battle, first-year student Kawashima Rei from the senior department. The Shokugeki Administration has recognized this competition as an official Shokugeki Battle. It’s exactly ten o’clock now, so please invite both contestants to enter!”
These words were spoken in a coquettish and fatherly voice, and after they were finished, even though he was in the lounge, Tang Yi could hear the shouts from the male fans at the competition venue.
Hearing the announcement on the radio, Erina Nakiri stood up without saying a word, and paused for a moment when she reached the door.
“I’m going!”
After a while, Tang Yi responded casually.
“Don’t bully the senior too much.”
“Totsuki doesn’t need people without talent!”
Then, the sound of a door closing was heard, and the lounge returned to silence.
“No talent? You still react the same as always.”
Shaking his head, Tang Yi ignored it.
The lounge became quiet again, with the only sound being the sound of him flipping through a magazine.
He didn’t care about the competition at all, because there was no suspense, the two chefs were not at the same level, and the result would only be a one-sided defeat.
In comparison, food magazines are much more interesting.
There are all kinds of Japanese dishes and various cooking tips on it, and Tang Yi is absorbing them quickly.
I don t know how long it took, but Tang Yi finally finished reading all six food magazines.
“Japanese pork chop rice, octopus balls, teriyaki chicken rice, longan chawanmushi, Japanese thick omelette, fish bone miso soup… they are all good dishes, I’ll take the recipe!”
With a slight smile, Tang Yi looked up at the clock on the wall.
11:05.
“Is it not over yet? It’s been an hour.”
Muttering something, Tang Yi put down the magazine, stood up and walked out of the lounge.
Walking along the corridor, he soon entered the competition venue.
The venue was very large and was filled with audiences. A rough estimate was that there were about seven or eight hundred people.
On the competition stage, the final tasting session was taking place.
There were three judges, two men and one woman. Perhaps they arrived at the right time, as Erina Nakiri had just brought her cooked dish to the judging table.
“Huh?” The female judge was slightly startled when she saw the four plates of food being served. She looked up at Erina Nakiri and said with a smile, “Ms. Erina, there’s one more plate?”
“No, it’s exactly four dishes.” Nakiri Erina chuckled and took out her phone. “Three, I want to ask someone to taste the fourth dish. Don’t worry, he is just tasting it and it won’t affect the outcome of the competition.”
The three judges looked at each other in response to Erina’s request.
“It’s not impossible…”
Before the female judge could finish her words, Erina Nakiri dialed a number on her cell phone.
Tang Yi, who was standing at the entrance with his arms crossed watching the show, suddenly felt a vibration in his pocket, followed by a ringing sound.
“You called me?” Tang Yi hesitated for a moment and answered the phone. “Oh.”
“‘Oh’ what, I already saw you!”
A dissatisfied voice came from the microphone. Tang Yi looked up and saw Erina on the competition stage looking towards him.
“What are you still standing there for? Come here quickly.”
After saying this, the phone was hung up.
“How willful…”
Tang Yi put away his phone speechlessly and walked towards the judging desk.
His appearance immediately attracted the audience’s attention, and the director gave the camera to Tang Yi at the right time.
Suddenly, there was a little commotion in the audience.
“It’s him! The one who joined the class!”
“Why did the transfer student show up at this time? What does he want to do?”
“Was Erina-sama calling him just now? Damn, how enviable!”
The four large screens above the competition stage played Tang Yi throughout the entire process.
After a while, Tang Yi walked to the judging desk, looked at Erina Nakiri and said, “What the hell are you doing?”
His voice is also transmitted to everyone in the competition venue through the stage microphones set up around him and the speakers.
And the next moment, angry voices were heard from the audience.
“What is this guy talking about? How dare he be so rude to Lady Erina!”
“Tang Yi, you’d better be more respectful to Lady Erina!”
“That’s right, otherwise our Erina Guards will never let you go!”
A group of boys made their voices heard in anger.
However, the people on the stage seemed not to hear anything at all, and the voices were drowned out.
What really shocked this group of people was Erina Nakiri’s reaction next.
They thought they would be able to see Tang Yi being taught a lesson, but contrary to their expectations, Erina Nakiri didn’t seem to be angry when she was spoken to like that.
“You haven’t forgotten what happened before, have you? In order for you to taste my cooking, I gave you the best private kitchen.”
Tang Yi was slightly startled, “Ah, if you hadn’t told me, I would have really forgotten.”
“…Forget it. Please enjoy the ravioli.”
Quiet!
The entire competition venue fell into an extreme silence!
Everyone in the audience was shocked by the conversation between the two and fell into a daze.
Is this the familiar Miss Erina Nakiri? !
033 I can’t keep up with the rhythm (old version)
(3rd update in a row, please give me some flowers, the new book list is still number 10, T,T)
The conversation between Tang Yi and Erina Nakiri was transmitted throughout the venue through the speakers.
This left everyone stunned!
Erina Nakiri is extremely famous in herself, and it can be said that everyone knows who she is. Tang Yi also became a “celebrity” because of his speech at the opening ceremony.
However, no one could have expected that these two people would show such a close relationship!
Even the three judges who were standing nearby were staring at the two in a daze.
“Do you really want to taste it?” Tang Yi glanced at the dishes on the judging table.
In the snow-white ceramic plate, four crystal clear shrimp dumplings lay there quietly, waiting for the gourmet to taste them at any time. The skin of the shrimp dumplings was very thin, stained with a little soup, which looked even more tempting under the light. Through the thin skin, you could slightly glimpse the tender shrimp meat inside.
Like a shy girl, she slowly draws the curtain while taking a bath.
In order to embellish the monotonous color, Erina Nakiri also placed a few bunches of spinach on the plate, embellishing it with emerald green to make the color of the whole dish appear fuller.
“Evaluation, what I want to hear is the feeling of your tongue!”
“Okay… you said it.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi picked up the fork beside him, picked up a shrimp dumpling, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
The first feeling when you take a bite is the soft and chewy crust. After you bite it, the carefully hidden deliciousness bursts out completely.
The delicious soup and the soft and delicious filling together create a beautiful scene in the mouth.
On a hot summer day, Tang Yi stood on the surfboard, facing the waves with great momentum. The powerful waves overturned the surfer in an instant.
The sea water, the scorching sun, the surfing teenager, chasing the unknown excitement and dreams, this is a top-notch shrimp dumpling!
Tang Yi closed his eyes and quietly felt the depth of this dish.
“Why don’t you just focus on eating?” Seeing Tang Yi about to take the second one, Erina Nakiri pursed her lips and said, “With your tongue, eating one is enough to be praised!”
Tang Yi ignored him and continued to eat the second one as usual, but compared to the first one, he wolfed down the second one.
He swallowed it in three or two gulps and then went on to eat the third one.
“I didn’t have breakfast, let me fill my stomach first.” He said vaguely at the end.
Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri’s expression suddenly froze.
Come to think of it, this guy really didn’t have the chance to eat breakfast. He was dragged to the food battle by her as soon as he got up.
Now, she was too embarrassed to say anything and could only wait quietly for Tang Yi to finish eating.
Tang Yi finished a plate of four shrimp dumplings in a short while, but he was not satisfied. Instead, he stretched out his fork and aimed at the delicious food on the judge’s plate.
“Hello!”
Erina Nakiri couldn’t stand it anymore, she grabbed Tang Yi’s hand and said angrily: “If you want to eat, I’ll do it later, now finish your work!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all of Erina’s guards in the audience were petrified. They felt like their hearts were made of glass, falling to the ground and then shattering into pieces with a snap.
What is the relationship between these two people?!
Tang Yi had no idea what outsiders were thinking, but after hearing what Erina Nakiri said, he had no choice but to stop.
“Well… first of all, the spinach needs to be rinsed for one second longer. In fact, it is better to use 60-degree warm water, which can perfectly remove the oxalic acid taste.”
When they heard Tang Yi start to evaluate seriously, the three judges reacted immediately.
Are you kidding me? This is their job. Compared to these, this ignorant kid actually dared to comment on Erina Nakiri’s cooking!
The two male judges were very dissatisfied with Tang Yi. One of them couldn’t help but say, “Hey, stop messing around! This kind of top-notch food is not something a student like you can casually comment on! Once you’re done, get off quickly!”
However, both Tang Yi and Erina Nakiri seemed not to have heard anything and continued their conversation.
“I see. 60-degree warm water?” Nakiri Erina pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, “Indeed, you are right. Then what?”
“When you fried the egg filling, the fire was a little high. Or, you could just put it in a hot pan and cook the shrimp dumplings half-cooked, and then put them in the steamer. It might be better than what you did.”
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri frowned, looking very unconvinced.
As soon as he saw her expression, Tang Yi knew what she was thinking and immediately made the wise decision to say less.
Seriously speaking, these are not shortcomings, because everyone has different taste preferences. It can only be said that for Tang Yi, this shrimp dumpling, although it is the best, has not yet reached absolute perfection.
“Anything else?”
“And…well, I told you, don’t be angry.”
“Tell me, I don’t believe you can find any other shortcomings!”
Tang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How did this turn into a contest?
However, he had to say something about the last point, because unlike other places, this was a real shortcoming!
“It’s the crust. You did make it very chewy, but the quality of the crust is out of tune with the other perfections of the dish. To be honest, you’re not as good as me in making the crust.”
“What did you say?” Nakiri Erina was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her fur standing up. “I admit that you are great at your specialty, but you said my embryo was not good, and now you have made better ones than me!”
Tang Yi rolled his eyes immediately, “I’ve already told you not to be angry, but you forced me to say it…”
“I can agree with the other things and try them, but I cannot accept your evaluation of the embryo skin!”
Ha… Tang Yi sighed. He knew that with Erina’s competitive spirit, she would definitely end up competing with him.
“I’m just telling the truth…”
“Humph~ I don’t accept it!”
The two people completely ignored the audience and the referee and started arguing among themselves.
As another contestant, Hao Tianlin was ignored from beginning to end.
Everyone felt like they were in tears; what these two said was so profound, they couldn t keep up!
034 Tang Yi’s Food Battle (Old Version)
(Let me explain, the 3rd update is in the early morning, you can see it in the morning, noon and evening, don t say I didn t update ?|?|_)
“Hehe, isn’t this a good relationship, Erina…”
Above the audience seats, in a viewing room reserved for VIPs, an old man watched the entire game.
He watched the farce happen with a slight smile on his face.
“Commander-in-Chief, it’s almost time. Your next itinerary…”
Behind the old man, a butler in a black suit whispered a reminder.
“Okay, I get it. I saw something interesting today and I thought of a new dish. Let’s go.”
After taking a deep look at Tang Yi, the old man turned around and left with his butler.
The result of the food battle was not surprising, it was Erina Nakiri’s overwhelming victory.
After tasting the Italian shrimp ravioli, the three judges were all intoxicated and praised it highly, and each one was conquered by the delicious food.
However, Erina Nakiri was not happy at all. She walked in front of Tang Yi, sulking alone.
What? He actually said my shrimp skin is not as good as his! Next time I will definitely make shrimp dumplings that he can’t find bones in!
“Still angry…”
Tang Yi followed one step behind Erina Nakiri, thinking helplessly.
He didn’t care at all, it was just a few quarrels. If you think about it from another perspective, Erina, who is so competitive, sometimes seems quite cute.
The only thing that made him regretful was that Erina had now changed back into her ordinary school uniform.
The plaid skirt swayed slightly as she walked.
Tang Yi’s eyes unconsciously fell on the white, tender and slender thighs.
Under the skirt were black over-the-knee socks, and Tang Yi was very curious about what they felt like when touched.
“I say, Erina?”
After a while, Tang Yi broke the deadlock and spoke first.
“Where are we going?”
“Go to the Sixth Culinary Building. As agreed beforehand, I will give you a dedicated kitchen.”
The voice sounded unwilling.
This surprised Tang Yi. “Really? I thought you were going to regret it.”
Suddenly, Erina Nakiri stopped, turned to look at Tang Yi, and said dissatisfiedly: “Don’t insult my personality. I will never regret what I said.”
“Sorry, sorry, didn’t I see that you were angry?” Tang Yi smiled and said.
Of course, there was one thing he didn’t say, which is that an angry woman can become unreasonable.
“I’m not angry, huh~!”
With a light snort, Erina Nakiri started walking again angrily.
“Isn’t this a sign of anger?” Tang Yi also quickened his pace to cooperate with the other party.
“You’re angry if you want to be angry, but anyway, your embryo is really not that good. Do you want me to teach you?”
“None of your business!”
“Look, you’re just mad.”
“Who would be angry with you?”
The two chatted with each other and finally left the B cooking building.
Although Yuanyue Academy is very large, the teaching buildings are relatively concentrated. After leaving the B cooking building, we arrived at the Sixth Cooking Building after walking for a while.
According to Erina, this entire building is her property, which she acquired bit by bit through food battles.
After entering the building, the two took the elevator directly to the top floor.
On the top floor, near the end of the west corridor, there is a luxurious large kitchen.
Nakiri Erina opened the door, walked in first, and said, “This is the room, take a look for yourself.”
Without her saying anything, Tang Yi was also watching.
The kitchen is very large and the floor is covered with high-quality tiles, which feel a bit slippery when you walk on them.
“Be careful, don’t slip, the place should have been cleaned by an auntie just now.”
“You care about me so much?” Tang Yi glanced at her.
“Who cares about you? I’m just worried that you might fall and break the tiles on the floor, which are very expensive!”
Erina Nakiri snorted, stood aside with her arms crossed, and watched Tang Yi quietly familiarize himself with the structure of the kitchen.
Tang Yi walked around and got an intuitive understanding of this kitchen.
It is very luxurious, quite luxurious. The entire decoration, including all the equipment inside, are top-notch and very complete.
Various kitchen utensils, as well as kitchen counters, stoves, freezers, refrigerators, range hoods, cabinets, etc., everything was wiped clean and sparkling.
Ten minutes had passed before Erina Nakiri could not help but say, “You haven’t finished watching yet? Really, the common people are such a nuisance.”
Hearing this, Tang Yi put a German-made Zwilling kitchen knife back to its original place and commented, “He’s really rich. This set of knives must be worth at least 500,000 yen, right?”
“It was custom-made by a master, worth 1.1 million. There’s a name engraved on the knife, didn’t you see it?” Erina Nakiri chuckled. She just liked to see the expression of a country boy like Tang Yi who was enlightened.
Tang Yi was indeed eye-opening. A set of knives cost more than one million yen, and the entire kitchen would probably cost over 100 million yen.
It is truly a luxurious, top-notch kitchen!
However, precisely because it was too luxurious, Tang Yi found it a little hard to accept.
From beginning to end, he only tasted the Italian shrimp ravioli, and Erina Nakiri gave him such a good kitchen, which made him feel a little indebted to her.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when a figure walked in.
She was a brown-skinned girl, wearing a miniskirt that reached her buttocks, and a simple fire-patterned bra. It was a very hot outfit.
“Erina-sama!” As soon as she entered the room, she said respectfully, “It’s great that you are here.”
“Yu Mei, what’s the matter?”
Yu Mei? Mito Yu Mei? Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, then he remembered who this girl was.
“Yes, about what you said before,” Mito Yumei also noticed Tang Yi’s presence, but just glanced at him and didn’t care. Instead, she said, “When the Donburi Research Society heard your name, except for the captain, all the other members ran away. What should we do next?”
Hearing this, Tang Yi reacted immediately.
The Rice Bowl Research Society, Mito Izumi, if nothing unexpected happens, this girl will have a food battle with Soma Yukihira and lose.
As expected, Nakiri Erina said calmly: “Since you have chosen not to disband, then use food battles to force them to disappear. You know what to do, right, Yumei?”
“Yes!” Mito Yumei nodded respectfully, “Then I’ll go get ready.”
After saying that, she left quickly. She came and went in a hurry.
Tang Yi touched his nose and couldn’t help but think of something.
“Erina.”
“Your kitchen is too expensive. I don’t like to owe others anything. Let me do the food battle you just mentioned. That girl will lose.”
Huh?
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri was stunned. She tilted her head and looked at Tang Yi strangely.
She couldn’t believe that these words came out of that annoying guy’s mouth.
035 Home battle (old version)
“Eh…eh!? What did you just say? Say it again?”
Suspecting that she was hallucinating, Erina Nakiri stared at Tang Yi blankly.
“So, that girl will lose, and I will take her place in the food battle.” Tang Yi said seriously.
He didn’t know much about Mito Yumei’s cooking skills, but if there was no big butterfly effect, he would definitely lose.
In that case, it would be better to let him come. On the one hand, he can repay the favor of Erina Nakiri, and on the other hand, he can fight with Soma Yukihira. The other party challenged him yesterday, so this time, let him give up completely.
After hearing Tang Yi’s explanation, Nakiri Erina frowned slightly, “You underestimate Yu Mei. She is not weak in meat cooking.”
“Better than me?”
This time, Erina Nakiri was speechless. Although she didn’t know how deeply Tang Yi’s research on meat dishes was, his comprehensive attainments in cooking skills were definitely far better than Mito Yumei.
“Are you serious? It’s not impossible, but,” Erina Nakiri suddenly changed her mind halfway through her words, “You can do the food battle!”
“Okay, I’ll go after her.” Tang Yi said and was about to set off.
“Wait, this is for you.”
Tang Yi walked to the door and turned around, just in time to see Erina Nakiri throwing something to him.
Reaching out his hand and grabbing the thing, Tang Yi discovered that it was a silver key.
“The key to the kitchen. From now on, it will be your private kitchen. Don’t let anyone take it away from you.”
With a slight smile, Tang Yi said confidently: “Don’t worry, in this academy, the person who can take things from me has not appeared yet! Then, I will go first.”
Looking at Tang Yi’s departing back, Erina smiled playfully, “Things are getting interesting. I’m looking forward to his cooking. Will it be Chinese cuisine? Or his… specialty?”
When talking about the word “specialization”, Erina Nakiri couldn’t help but think of last night’s “Red Sea Rainbow Light and White Jade Tower”.
If it is this, I’m afraid that except for the top ten members who take out their special dishes, the other students will have no way to compete.
There was an auntie cleaning the corridor, so Tang Yi asked her casually and she told him where Mito Yumei was.
Following the cleaning lady’s instructions, Tang Yi quickly went downstairs and saw the hotly dressed girl in the lobby on the first floor.
The other party was giving instructions to five or six construction workers in work uniforms.
Yo.
“It’s you!” Hearing someone greeting her, Mito Yumei stopped talking and looked over.
“Do you know me?”
“Of course I know you. Your name has been all over the academy in the past few days.” She said calmly, “I saw you just now. Is there anything else Erina-sama can do for you?”
“Yes, she asked me to do it with you.”
“What? You’re going to Donburi with me?”
“To be precise, I’m here to take your place in the Shokugeki. Of course you can tag along.”
Having said that, Tang Yi did not explain much and walked out of the building.
“Wait…explain it to me clearly!” Mito Yumei frowned and had to follow.
She was very unhappy in her heart that Lady Erina actually let an outsider take her job!
However, no matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to obey Erina Nakiri’s orders.
Tang Yi and Mito Yumei went to the rice bowl research group together.
On the way, Tang Yi asked about the cause and effect of the matter.
In short, it was because Gayaken had no honors or achievements to show off that Erina Nakiri didn’t like it, and she wanted to abolish it through the Ten Greatest Meeting.
The means are to cut funding, or reduce the number of activity rooms, in short, to force the other party to the edge of the cliff.
Most people would run away when they hear the name Erina Nakiri.
The current Donburi Institute is empty except for the minister.
“That ‘no talent’ again… This girl is so unemotional, she’ll be hated.”
Tang Yi silently evaluated Erina in his heart, but he had no other thoughts.
The school rules are based on the law of the jungle. Although the approach seems a little bit bad, it is only from the perspective of the weak.
“However, by doing this, I seem to be aiding and abetting the evil… Never mind, I’d better do her some good deeds and try my best to keep Donburi-kun.”
Thinking this way, the two finally arrived at their destination.
The door of the department office was open, and Tang Yi walked straight in with Mito Yumei and greeted them cheerfully.
“Good afternoon, everyone at Donburi-ken.”
As soon as he entered the room, the three people in the room looked over, and then three voices rang out at the same time.
“Tang Yi!”
“It’s you!”
“Mito!”
These three people are very interesting. One is Soma Yukihira, one is a boy with a crew cut, and the last one is Tang Yi s classroom partner, Megumi Tadokoro.
Seeing her, Tang Yi’s eyes lit up and he smiled, “Hey, Xiaohui, aren’t you going to class?”
“Hey, it’s already lunch break time…” Tian Suo Hui was also very happy to see Tang Yi appear, and asked with concern: “Are you okay, Tang Yi? I heard that you took sick leave.”
“Um… well, it’s done!” Tang Yi laughed dryly. He didn’t want to say that he skipped class to play with Erina.
“Really? That’s great.” Tansho Kei patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
So cute.
Tang Yi thought to himself that this kind of soft girl has a good personality and he really wants to take her home to be his wife.
“What are you doing here? Mito!” At this time, the boy with the crew cut finally had the chance to speak.
Mito Yumei did not answer, but looked at Tang Yi and whispered: “He is the head of the Donburi Research Department, the second-year student Konishi Hiroichi.”
Nodding, Tang Yi chuckled and said, “Nice to meet you, Senior Xiaoxi. I’m Tang Yi from the first year.”
“Are you the transfer student? What’s up?”
Konishi Hiroshi looked unhappy. After all, Tang Yi appeared with Mito Yumei, and Mito Yumei was one of the reasons why their Donburi Research Institute became like this.
“What’s the matter… Let me get it straight.” Tang Yi grinned and said, “I’m here to challenge you. Come and compete with me in a food battle. If you win, Gaifanken can be reborn!”
When these words were spoken, the three of them were shocked.
In particular, Soma Yukihira suddenly perked up and looked at Tang Yi with his bright eyes.
036 Challenge and Pursuit (Old Version)
Tang Yi’s straightforward remarks shocked the three people in the office.
After saying this, he smiled gently and was not in a hurry. There happened to be a chair in the office, so he immediately walked over, put it in the right position, and then sat down leisurely.
Crossing his legs, Tang Yi casually glanced at the three people, then looked at Tanosuke Kei with a hearty smile.
As if captured by this smile, Tanomo Kei’s pretty face blushed, her eyes widened, and she looked a little at a loss.
Declaration of war?
Food Wars?
Konishi Hirokazu’s brain froze for a long time before he suddenly came to his senses and said, “Transfer student, what you just said was…”
Hearing this, Tang Yi didn’t even look at him, but continued to admire the shy look of Tanosuke Hui who didn’t dare to look him in the eye.
At the same time, he said, “Isn’t your Gaifanken about to disband? I just happened to hear about this from Erina, so I proposed that I replace Mito Yumei to compete with you in the food battle. If you win, Gaifanken can be saved, and Erina will not continue to cause trouble for you. I can guarantee this.”
Xiao Xikuan was shocked. What was the reason for this sudden change? What was the purpose of this man?
Glancing at his expression, Tang Yi guessed what he was thinking and immediately said with a smile, “Well, don’t be so nervous, Senior Xiaoxi. Compared to Mito Yumei, wouldn’t you have a better chance of winning in a food battle with me?”
Hearing this, Xiao Xi Kuanyi couldn’t help but feel moved.
If his opponent is Mito Yumei, he has basically already lost, but if it is Tang Yi, although he doesn’t know this man’s cooking skills, he is also a second-year student with a 90% elimination rate, so he should have a very high chance of winning!
No, you can win!
Konishi Hiroichi suddenly saw the hope of survival, and if he wanted the club to survive, he just had to defeat this transfer student.
“Wait…why did you suddenly intervene?”
“It’s nothing, just for fun, and isn’t it a pity that Donburi is ruined?” Tang Yi shrugged, still looking at Tanomo Megumi. The little girl was so embarrassed that her mind was in a mess. “But, senior, don’t expect me to let you go… If I really do that, Erina will nag in my ear and get angry with me again.”
These words made Xiao Xikuan feel relieved. He was afraid that Tang Yi had other purposes.
“I didn’t expect that there would be a gentle man like you beside that notorious Ice Queen. I’m really surprised.”
Tang Yi felt a chill and said hurriedly, “Don’t be like this, I don’t like men, right, Xiaohui?”
“Huh?”
Tanosuke Hui responded blankly, and then she found Tang Yi dragging a chair and moving towards her little by little.
“Tang Yi, what are you going to do?”
“Let’s play, Xiaohui, let me tell you, let’s play a game of guessing the dish… Do you believe it? I can taste all the ingredients of this dish just by tasting it with my tongue.”
“Eh…eh?! Really?”
“Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you right now~”
Looking at Tang Yi who was chatting with Tadayoshige, Konishi Hiroshi smiled slightly. Someone who was so easy-going and not at all arrogant must not be a bad person.
If it was him, he could win! Even if he lost, he could only think that he was not as skilled as him!
Without too much consideration, Xiao Xikuan took a deep breath and said, “Tang Yi, I understand, I agree…”
However, he didn’t finish his words, as Soma Yukihira, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
“Senior Xiaoxi, don’t be careless! This man is very strong! No, super strong!”
Yukihira Soma said excitedly: “So, Senior, you are probably no match for him. Let me do it. Please let me compete with him in a food battle!”
Konishi Hiroshi was stunned. He looked at Soma Yukihira, who was excited and even impatient, and found it a little difficult to understand.
“Xingping, what are you talking about?”
“Senior! Don’t be fooled!” Yukihira Soma took a few steps forward, grabbed Konishi Hirokazu’s shoulders, and said seriously: “His cooking skills are very high, very powerful. I don’t know who Mito Yumei is, but Tang Yi is definitely stronger. Please let me come, I will definitely beat him!”
Konishi Hiroichi was silent.
He really didn’t understand Tang Yi, but Soma Yukihira, who was also in the first year, probably knew him much better than he did.
But even if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to let Soma Yukihira take over the Shokugeki?
In other words, in Soma Yukihira’s eyes, am I not as good as him?
For some reason, Konishi Hiroichi felt a little annoyed!
“Senior! Please believe me, I will compete with him no matter what! You can say that this is my original purpose for entering Totsuki Academy!”
Tang Yi, who was teasing Tanomo Kei, did not speak at this moment, but glanced sideways at Soma Yukihira.
The man’s eyes were blazing and determined, and he had an indomitable spirit.
“Do you want to have a food battle with me so much?” Tang Yi thought to himself. The next moment, he chuckled and said, “It’s fine on my end. It doesn’t matter who it is. Senior Xiaoxi, since Yukihira has such a strong desire, why don’t you satisfy him?”
After saying this, he didn’t pay much attention and continued to talk with Tanomo Megumi.
Tang Yi always couldn’t help but want to tease this clumsy and shy girl, so that he could see more of her cute expressions.
Hearing his words, Soma Yukihira was shocked all over and grabbed Konishi Hiroichi’s hand even harder.
“Senior, please let me come. Please!”
Saying this solemnly, Soma Yukihira took a step back and bowed 90 degrees to beg.
This made Konishi Hirokazu’s face freeze. He asked in confusion, “Why? Why do you want to have a food battle with him so much?”
“Why? Is there any need to ask? Because he is very strong!”
Without even thinking about it, Soma Yukihira answered seriously.
Because he is strong?
Konishi Hiroichi was stunned. This reason was so pure that it actually inspired respect for him.
Because the opponent is strong, he has to challenge. This is originally a spirit of a chef, but I don t know when he started to lose it.
Instead, he was trembling with fear because his opponent was Mito Yumei, and was secretly proud of himself because his opponent was a first-year transfer student, thinking he could win.
“…I understand.” After a long silence, Konishi Hiroshi spoke softly with a lost tone: “Since you said so, I’ll leave it to you. Yukihira Soma, I’ll leave Donburi Ken to you!”
037 Three Days’ Appointment (Old Version)
(Fourth update (?y?,?)?, give me flowers and give me comments, I am now the seventh~)
Inside the Rice Bowl Research Society, Yukihira Soshin and Konishi Hirokazu discuss specific strategies for the Shokugeki competition.
On the other side…
“Then, question nine, listen carefully, Xiaohui.”
Tang Yi sat on a chair and said to Tansuo Hui with a smile: “Others have red flowers while I have yellow flowers, others have hair while I have sores, others have good fortune while I have a miserable life, others ride horses while I climb walls.”
Hmm um ah
Tansho Kei’s pretty face was twisted into a ball as she thought hard. Various ingredients flashed through her mind, but it seemed that none of them were the right one.
Looking at her cute expression, Tang Yi laughed secretly, but counted in his mouth: “…3,2,1,0, time is up!”
“Ahh~ I lost again…”
As if she had experienced a long period of breath-holding diving or strenuous exercise, when Tang Yi counted to 0, Tanosuke Hui immediately began to gasp.
Ha hu ha hu
She herself might not be aware of this, but Tang Yi always felt that this breathing seemed a bit erotic, which made people think about it in a rather impure way.
“Ahem…” With a dry cough, Tang Yi gave the answer seriously, “It’s bitter melon.”
“Eh? Bitter, bitter melon?” Tansho Kei was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, “I’m so stupid, I didn’t even think of this!”
The flowers of bitter melon are yellow, the surface is granular, the taste is bitter, and it can grow on walls.
Tang Yi couldn’t help but smile and said, “Don’t be discouraged, move on to the next question.”
“Yeah!” Tansho Kei perked up and began to listen with great interest.
“Listen carefully.”
“She has a nice figure, wears a black and purple robe, and a small green hat. Guess a vegetable.”
As soon as Tang Yi finished speaking, Tian Suohui blinked and quickly replied, “Is it eggplant?”
“Ha…” Tang Yi opened his mouth and said helplessly: “Xiao Hui actually guessed it.”
“Is it really eggplant? Great! I finally got a question right!” Tanomo Megumi laughed happily.
Tang Yi rolled his eyes. He should not have continued talking about vegetables.
No, we shouldn’t play the game of guessing ingredients in the first place, but guessing breakfast by kissing doesn’t seem appropriate either. There are so many people here, and if we really do this, Tanomo Megumi will definitely avoid us in the future.
Tang Yi thought helplessly in his heart, but seeing the little girl so happy, he shook his head and said, “Well, 9 wins and 1 loss, you still lost. You have to accept the punishment for losing!”
“Eh…” Tansho Kei’s face suddenly fell.
At the door, Mito Yumei folded her arms, leaning against the wall, watching Tang Yi and Tansho Kei having a great time, and she couldn’t help feeling a little anxious.
“What on earth is this guy doing here? It’s really infuriating!”
Muttering through gritted teeth, she turned her gaze and looked at Yukihira and Soma.
After a heated discussion, the two seemed to have reached a conclusion.
At this time, Soma Yukihira was already walking towards Tang Yi with a calm expression.
“The punishment is… huh?”
Tang Yi didn’t finish his words. He caught a glimpse of Yukihira Soma from the corner of his eye and immediately turned to look at him. “Have you decided?”
“Well. In this food battle, I will challenge you on behalf of Gafan Ken!” Yukihira Soma didn’t smile at all, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
“Sure. What are the conditions?”
“I won, you can’t continue to attack Donburi.”
“No problem, I can help Erina agree to it.” Tang Yi shrugged, nodded casually, and then said: “Then what, the theme?”
“The theme is rice bowls, and the main ingredient is meat!”
Hearing this, Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Xikuan, then touched his nose and said, “Are you sure?”
“certainly.”
“No, what I mean is that you can change someone. To be honest, although rice bowl is not my specialty, I am quite good at it. If you want to defeat me, you can change someone.” Tang Yi sincerely cared.
“Are you good at it?” Yukihira Soma grinned, “Isn’t that perfect? ??This is even better! Although I lost in the transfer student exam with lasagna, I will win it back this time!”
This person was speaking seriously, and he had an inexplicable confidence.
Tang Yi was silent for a while, nodded, and said with a smile: “Okay, since you want so, I will fulfill your wish. Meat Donburi, I will propose a formal food battle to the Food Battle Administration. The review will take at most three days, so you still have three days, work hard. Yu Mei, let’s go.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi stood up.
He actually called my name casually. Mito Yumei frowned slightly, glanced at Yukihira Soma, and followed him.
But when he reached the door, Tang Yi suddenly stopped.
He slapped his forehead, turned around and said, “I almost forgot, Xiaohui, you just lost, and I haven’t told you about the punishment. It’s really… you almost delayed my important event.”
Is this a big deal?! Veins appeared on Mito Yumei’s forehead. What on earth did this bastard come here for?
Tansho Kei, who thought he had escaped, suddenly burst into tears. Why did he still remember even though he had already reached the door?
Tang Yi smiled slightly and said, “Xiaohui, you are a boarding student, right? Where do you live?”
“Eh? I, I live… in Polaris Dormitory.”
“Polaris Dormitory? I’ll be there tonight. Please treat me to a dinner that you made yourself. This is the punishment. I’m looking forward to it. See you tonight~”
After admiring the silly little girl’s expression for a while, Tang Yi took Mito Yumei away.
“Hey, are you sure?”
Seeing him playing dumb, Mito Yumei snorted and said, “I don’t trust you. I really can’t understand why Lady Erina would give you this kind of mission!”
“Don’t be so nervous. I told you I’m pretty good at making rice bowls.” Tang Yi chuckled, but his tone was calm. “As for why, you’ll know sooner or later.”
After a moment of silence, Mito Yumei said reluctantly: “Do you need my help?”
“I mean, I have 5A grade beef here! If you use it, even if your cooking skills are a little worse, you can still win with the advantage of the ingredients!” Mito Yumei said proudly: “Don’t get me wrong, I just don’t want to embarrass Lady Erina!”
Tang Yi burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing at?” Mito Yumei glared at him.
“Nothing, just…” Tang Yi looked indifferent, as if he didn’t care at all, “Would you be serious with a child? Just play with him appropriately and satisfy his wishes.”
Hearing this, Mito Yumei’s delicate body trembled.
What is this man talking about? If he is not confident in his cooking skills to a certain extent, he is simply a madman!
040 Fighting with Isshiki Hui (Old Version)
The sound of a group of people laughing and chatting came to her ears. Tansho Kei’s eyelashes trembled in her sleep, and she slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was the ceiling of her bedroom.
A familiar bed, a familiar smell, and a familiar… voice.
“Hahaha, I see. I thought it was a thief, but it turns out the door lock was broken.”
“I’m the one who’s surprised. How careless can one be to have both door locks broken at the same time?”
Tian Suohui, who was lying on the bed, was moved, “This voice is from Senior Isshiki and Tang Yi…”
She quickly stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a group of people sitting around a low table, having a tea party in a cheerful atmosphere.
Tang Yi, Yoshino Yuki, Sakaki Ryoko, Isshiki Kei, Marui Zenji, Itakezaki Shun, as well as Aoki Daigo and Sato Shoji.
Except for Soma Yukihira, all the members of Polaris Dormitory are already here.
“Hey, Xiaohui, you’re awake.” Tang Yi greeted with a smile.
“Tang Yi…”
Tanosuke Kei murmured softly, and then the dusty memories came flooding back like a spring.
I sprained my left foot, and Tang Yi applied a cold towel to me. After that, they almost kissed, but were interrupted by Yoshino Yuuki and others who suddenly broke in…
Wooooooah~!
The little girl refused to accept the reality and cried like a little dog.
.
“No, that’s not it…”
Megumi Tadokoro wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never see anyone again. She no longer had the confidence to face everyone.
I want to explain it now, but I don t know where to start.
“Xiaohui, we already know that Tang Jun is helping you apply treatment on your wound. Is your foot okay?” Yoshino Yuuki said with a smile.
“Eh? Ah… yes, I’m fine, thank you for your concern.” Tansho Kei was stunned for a moment, then quickly answered.
At this time, Isshiki Hui stood up and said to Tanomo Hui: “Since you are awake, Xiao Hui should also join the tea party. However, the tea and snacks are finished. I will go to the kitchen to see if there is anything I can cook.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yi also stood up, chuckled and said, “I’m sorry to bother you so late at night. Let me help you, Isise-senpai. And, Xiaohui, be careful not to sprain your ankle again.”
Finally, he looked at the silly little girl lying on the bed.
“Yes…thank you for your concern.” Tanaka Hui blushed and didn’t dare to look at Tang Yi at all.
She now clearly recalled what had happened before.
The two almost kissed!
Why did she close her eyes at that time? Tansho Kei thought with frustration and annoyance, it was just like tacit consent.
Putting aside her little troubles, Tang Yi and Isshiki Hui left the room and headed towards the kitchen downstairs.
Isshiki Hui is a sophomore with frizzy blond hair and a refreshing smile, but Tang Yi knows very well that this man is not only the leader of the Polar Star Dormitory members, but also the seventh seat on the Ten Elite Council!
The seat is above Erina Nakiri.
As he walked down the stairs slowly, Isshiki Hui in front of him suddenly smiled and said, “Yi-kun, we actually have another member in Polaris House. He is preparing for a food battle today and is practicing all night in a kitchen in the school club room.”
“Is Senior Isshiki talking about Soma Yukihira?” Tang Yi chuckled in the same harmless way.
“So Yi-kun knew. In fact, on the day when Soma-kun first came, I had a duel with him and the result was a draw. Don’t you think he is amazing? He even tied with me, the seventh of the Ten Elites.”
“Really? That’s surprising. After all, Soma Yukihira’s shokugeki target is me.”
There was no need to guess, Tang Yi also knew that as one of the top ten, Isshiki Hui would definitely know about something like Food Wars.
Hearing this, Isse Hui laughed heartily and said, “This is a rare opportunity, Yi Jun, please compete with me.”
He proposed it suddenly, but there was no unusual fluctuation in his tone, just like he was saying “We’re in the kitchen.”
“Okay.” Tang Yi agreed without thinking.
This time it was Isshiki Hui who was stunned, and his smile quickly faded.
The two of them didn’t say anything more and soon arrived at the kitchen on the first floor.
Isshiki Hui searched the kitchen and finally said helplessly: “It seems that there is only one mackerel left, and there are still a few other vegetables. It seems that we can’t compete…”
“No,” Tang Yi interrupted with a chuckle, “Isn’t there still a mackerel? Let’s each take half, Senior Isise.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi took out the frozen mackerel from the refrigerator and gently threw it into the air.
The frozen fish was spinning and falling in the air, and along its falling trajectory, there was a silver knife held by Tang Yi.
Isshiki Hui narrowed his eyes and looked up to see what was going on.
When the fish touched the blade, its mouth was facing downwards. Then, there was a slight cutting sound, and the next moment, the fish was split into two, evenly divided from the middle.
“What a terrifying sword…” Isshiki Hui was shocked. “No, what’s more terrifying is that he has such courage, knowing that I am the Seventh Seat…”
With a snap, Tang Yi caught half of the fish, while Yi Sehui also held the other half in his hand calmly.
“The main ingredient is half a mackerel in each of your hands. Then, let me experience Isshiki-senpai’s cooking skills!”
Tang Yi grinned and started to choose the rest of the ingredients without waiting for the other party to answer.
Fish dishes are not Tang Yi s specialty, but just like rice bowls, every chef will have some knowledge of them.
Tang Yi had learned how to make “Mackerel Thousand-Thread Noodles” before. If he were to use this dish, even among the top ten, he would have to at least use his own signature dish to compete.
But it is obvious that Isshiki Hui will not use his best dish in such an informal competition.
Naturally, then, Tang Yi would not prepare dishes of the top ten quality, giving the other party a chance to see through his cooking skills.
“That’s it.”
After searching his mind, Tang Yi quickly decided on what dish he wanted to cook.
He quickly selected the rest of the ingredients and started cooking.
First, clean the mackerel, remove the head, scales and bones. Since it is only half a fish, there is no need to cut it in half.
After doing all this, Tang Yi placed the fish on his left palm, with the flesh side facing outwards. Then, he held the Chef’s Blade in his right hand, and with a flash of the knife, a piece of sashimi as thin as silk flew onto the chopping board.
This scene fell into the wise eyes that had been observing Tang Yi, causing him to shudder all over and reveal a little bit of horror.
What is this extraordinary slicing method?!

[This chapter is locked, I will repost it]041 Tang’s Fresh Vegetable and Fish Roll Steamed Egg (Old Version)
(Fourth update~~Please give me some flowers to support~~)
Isshiki Hui had seen sashimi cutting many times, but this was the first time he had seen someone cutting sashimi the way Tang Yi did.
It was simply a magical skill. Within just one minute that surprised him, Tang Yi had already sliced ??half of the mackerel!
“Is this the Chinese way of cutting noodles? But… that’s cutting noodles, and it’s not the same level of difficulty as cutting sashimi! Why can he do this? This knife skill is definitely not something you can learn in any culinary school!!”
Isise Hui was shocked. He didn’t expect that Tang Yi would give him a warning at the very beginning.
After cutting the fish fillets, Tang Yi had already started to apply a small amount of salt and cooking wine on the fish fillets to remove the fishy smell.
While his hands were busy, Tang Yi still had time to speak: “Senior Isise, I think I will be done in another fifteen minutes, so it would be better if you start as soon as possible.”
After saying that, he didn’t pay any more attention to it, but concentrated on cooking this dish.
After finishing the work of smearing salt and cooking wine on the fish fillets, Tang Yi put it aside. He quickly grabbed three eggs, cracked them into a glass bowl, and then used an egg beater to beat them into egg liquid.
Afterwards, Tang Yi put the egg liquid aside, took out the washed mushrooms, ginger, ham, carrots, etc., cut all the ingredients into shreds, and then cut off the tender tips of the front part of the asparagus.
At this point, the preparations are complete.
Next, Tang Yi took out the marinated sashimi from the bowl, spread it out on the chopping board, placed a tender asparagus tip, a small amount of shredded mushrooms, shredded ginger, shredded ham and carrots on the fish slices, and finally rolled it up.
This movement was extremely brisk, and Tang Yi skillfully turned all the ingredients into fresh vegetable and fish rolls.
After completing this step, Tang Yi took a brown steaming bowl, poured two-thirds of the egg liquid into it, and placed it on the steamer to steam.
When the egg liquid in the steaming bowl has solidified slightly, gently place all the fresh vegetable and fish rolls in. When placing them, you naturally have to pay attention to the appearance so that the whole looks like a blooming flower.
After doing all this, Tang Yi let out a long breath and poured the last one-third of the egg liquid into the steaming bowl, starting from a point in the center and swirling it around, gradually covering the entire surface.
Five minutes later.
“I’m done, Yi-kun.”
After hearing the sizzling sound of grilling, Tang Yi glanced to the side and found that Isshiki Hui had already served the dish and was pouring the last bit of soup into the porcelain plate.
“How fast!” Tang Yi thought to himself, but he said, “As expected of you, Senior Yi Se. But I’m also fine here.”
As he spoke, Tang Yi put on thick cotton gloves, lifted the lid of the pot, took out the steaming bowl from the pot amidst the steam, and placed it on a serving plate.
“The aroma of the egg drop fish is so rich!” Isshiki Hui murmured softly, looking at the food on the plate, saliva already forming in her mouth, “What a terrible transfer student, who knows…”
Room 302.
A large group of people were sitting around a low table, having tea and snacks.
With a click, the door was opened, and then Tang Yi walked in with a tray, and behind him was Isshiki Hui who had left with them.
Yoshino Yuuki was stunned and couldn’t help but say, “You two, it’s so fast, it’s only been fifteen minutes.”
Sakaki Ryoko was also surprised and said, “There shouldn’t be any ingredients in the kitchen. What on earth are you cooking?”
Hearing this, Tang Yi smiled slightly, walked to the low table and put the steaming bowl on the table.
“Before we eat, I need to say something. Senior Isshiki and I had an informal competition. You can judge after you have tasted the food. Is that okay?”
Hearing this, the three men and three women sitting there all showed surprised expressions.
Marui Zenji, who was wearing glasses, looked up and asked, “Isshiki-senpai, is that so?”
“Yes, so everyone must enjoy it.” While nodding with a smile, Isshiki Hui also put his own food on the table and said, “First, this is mine. This dish is called ‘Grilled Mackerel with Sichuan Peppers’. Please enjoy it!”
Everyone’s attention was immediately attracted.
On the white porcelain plate, a piece of fragrant mackerel meat lies quietly, and next to it, there is a ball of vegetable puree.
Just looking at it makes one’s appetite grow.
“I’m starting to eat!” Yuki Yoshino was the first to pick up the chopsticks and reach for the dish.
Seeing this, the rest of the people may have taken quick action.
When the grilled fish is taken into consideration, the refreshing aroma of spring bursts into everyone’s mouth.
It was like a spring storm blowing towards me, blowing away all my worries.
“It’s delicious!” Yoshino Yuuki showed an intoxicated expression.
“As expected of Isshiki-senpai, you can make such a great dish.”
“If I were to vote, I’d vote for Isshiki-senpai! It’s so delicious!”
“Me too!”
The two boys spoke up immediately, singing the same tune, and were not optimistic about Tang Yi at all.
“Wait, um… Tang Yi’s food hasn’t been eaten yet.” Seeing that the boys seemed to have made up their minds, Tanomo Kei mustered up the courage to speak.
“That’s right, next it’s your turn to cook mackerel, Tang Yi.” Isse Hui narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking at Tang Yi.
With a chuckle, Tang Yi reached out and lifted the lid of the steaming bowl, and said confidently: “My dish is called ‘Tang’s Fresh Vegetable and Fish Roll Steamed Egg’!”
The moment the lid was opened, the steam that had been trapped in the dust, along with the fragrance, quickly spread throughout the space.
Everyone’s expressions froze for a moment, and then they smelled the aroma of steamed eggs mixed with the fragrance of fish.
Please enjoy!
Gurgle~
The three girls stared at the food in the steaming bowl with wide eyes. In the egg yolk color, there were red and green vegetable fish rolls. The fish rolls were arranged in the shape of a flower blooming outwards.
After a long while, among the stunned crowd, someone was the first to reach out for his chopsticks.
This person is not one of the six judges, but Isse Hui!
His expression did not have his usual smile, and in his slightly opened eyes there was a hint of curiosity and solemnity.
The bamboo chopsticks are inserted into the steaming bowl and cut the steamed egg, just like cutting through flowing water, without any obstruction.
Isshiki Hui finally picked up a piece of fresh vegetable and fish roll and slowly put it into his mouth.
In an instant, his pupils dilated and the hand holding the chopsticks suddenly exerted force.
With a snap, the chopsticks broke!
042 It’s not a draw (old version)
Lost!
This was Isshiki Hui’s first reaction after tasting the fresh vegetable and fish rolls.
Since both of them used the same main ingredients and the same cooking time, he felt like he lost.
This Tang’s steamed egg with fresh vegetable and fish roll has a beautiful appearance and fragrant aroma. After taking it in one mouth, it is like “drinking” the fresh vegetable and fish roll into your stomach.
The freshness of fish, the refreshing sweetness of vegetables, and the egg drops from steamed eggs, these multiple flavors blend together to create a colorful picture.
This dish has beautiful appearance, nutritious eggs, fresh taste of mackerel, and asparagus is the king of vegetables, dominating all the senses in the mouth.
“This dish is not of the average student standard, it is clearly far beyond that! There is an ulterior motive in the combination of ingredients!”
Isshiki Hui closed his eyes and quietly felt the uniqueness of this dish.
The more you taste it, the more you can feel the secret hidden in the steamed egg.
It is this steamed egg that elevates the quality of the entire dish.
“Delicious!” Isshiki Hui’s hand holding the broken chopsticks was trembling slightly. He opened his eyes and looked at Tang Yi excitedly, saying, “It’s great! I’m so moved that I’m about to cry! Everyone, come and try it.”
Hearing this, everyone was startled and picked up their chopsticks, picked up a piece of fresh vegetable and fish roll and put it into their mouths.
The next moment, everyone showed an intoxicated expression.
Tanomo Kei even covered her cheeks with her hands, her face full of happiness.
It s so delicious~ I m so happy~
Tang Yi couldn’t help laughing a few times as he watched them. He didn’t disturb them from enjoying the food, but picked up the chopsticks and reached for the grilled mackerel with Sichuan pepper cooked by Isise Hui.
Tang Yi didn’t feel any effort at all as he tore off a bit of fish meat with chopsticks. He then dipped it in a bit of vegetable puree before putting it into his mouth.
The moment he entered, Tang Yi immediately felt a strong spring breeze blowing on his face.
The fish meat is wrapped in vegetable puree, and the slightly dry feeling perfectly reflects the essence of this dish.
“But, 6! There are at least 6 mistakes. Almost all of them are in the cooking time!”
Tang Yi’s divine tongue instantly read the cooking method of this dish, and at the same time optimized the recipe based on his own cooking skills.
Chewing slowly and savoring the food carefully, Tang Yi secretly said in his heart: “Is he in a hurry? When he was grilling the fish, it was obvious that he didn’t make it completely even, and the taste was also not good… Did he add water? No, this dish was just made casually for him, and it was obvious that he didn’t take it seriously.”
Through food, Tang Yi can see through Isse Hui’s inner thoughts.
The opponent didn’t take the competition seriously at all. Although Tang Yi was the same, at least he was still pursuing perfection. He would not make mistakes deliberately if he could do it.
“I won, whether it’s the dish or other things… This grilled mackerel with pepper is only slightly better than the average student’s, and is far from the level of the top ten. How boring! It turns out that testing the cooking skills of the top ten is not an easy task. Next time, let’s just challenge Erina directly.”
Tang Yi had already lost interest, but he couldn’t help but complain in his heart: “Then again, if I beat Erina, she will definitely be dissatisfied again, and then she will keep pestering me to compete.”
There were not many dishes on the table, but there were eight people eating them. In just a few minutes, they were all gone, leaving only empty plates.
“Both of them are delicious, but if I have to choose between the two, I’ll vote for Isshiki-senpai.” Marui Zenji pushed his glasses, then stood up and walked out the door. “It’s late today, and I have a written test tomorrow, so I’m going to bed first. Good night.”
“I vote for Isshiki-senpai as well. Although Tang Yi’s is also delicious, I prefer grilled fish to steamed fish.” Another boy, Sato Shoji, said firmly, “What about you, Aoki?”
“I also prefer grilled fish. Why do you do the same as me?”
“Ah? What did you say? Are you the same as me?”
The two began to argue, and they couldn’t stand each other.
Seeing this, Tang Yi was speechless.
As expected, they are not professional judges and they even added their personal preferences without permission.
“I support Tang Jun. Although I feel sorry for Isshiki-senpai, I still think Tang Jun’s steamed eggs are more delicious!” Yoshino Yuuki stood up to speak up for Tang Yiming, “You two guys, you’re going to make trouble outside!”
Sakaki Ryoko smiled slightly, glanced at Isshiki Hui, and said, “Hmm… If I must say, fresh vegetable and fish rolls are more to my taste. What about Xiaohui?”
“Eh? I…” Tansho Kei was very frustrated and whispered, “Both of you are amazing. You can make such delicious dishes in fifteen minutes. But, well, I prefer the fresh vegetable fish roll because asparagus is really delicious.”
Hearing this, Tang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Was it because of asparagus? None of these six people could give a professional evaluation.
Isshiki Hui couldn’t help but laugh, looked at Tang Yi, and said: “You are very good, Yi Jun, I lost this time. I look forward to meeting you in the official competition in the future.”
No, three to three, everyone is tied. Senior Isise, the victory or defeat will be left to the battle of the top ten in the future. Tang Yi grinned, When the time comes, I hope you can come up with a decent dish.
After saying that, Tang Yi reached out and touched Tian Suo Hui’s head, and said with a smile: “It’s late, I’m leaving now, bye.”
“Eh? I…I’ll take you there.” Tansho Kei was stunned for a moment, and finally said it subconsciously. After she said it, she was stunned herself.
Tang Yi was also a little surprised, and nodded after a moment.
Soon, the two left one after another.
Isshiki Hui walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Come out a decent dish next time In other words, this dish is not worth mentioning. I see, Yi-kun, it seems that you didn t use much of your real skills. This is bad, Soma-kun is going to lose
In front of the iron gate of Polar Star Dormitory, Tang Yi bid farewell to Tanomo Kei and prepared to return to Hefengshe.
Halfway through the walk, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang.
Tang Yi took it out and saw the caller ID: Little Tsundere.
“Uh…” Tang Yi couldn’t help but stop and answered the phone with a subtle thought in mind, “Good evening, Erina.”
Erina Nakiri’s dissatisfied voice came from the other side.
“Where have you been? What time do you think it is now? The Hefeng House is about to close. Let’s see how you get in later, humph!”
After saying that, the phone hung up.
043 Thousands of people watching (old version)
Xiao Aojiao was very dissatisfied and hung up the phone after saying that.
Tang Yi was speechless when he heard the busy tone on his phone. He took a look at the phone and found that it was already ten o’clock one.
“She couldn’t have called me based on the time, right? She called right after ten o’clock…By the way, doesn’t Hefengshe close at ten o’clock?”
Tang Yi really didn’t know this, so he had to jog back to the dormitory.
Fortunately, the door was not closed, and Tang Yi successfully entered the dormitory, took a shower, and then went back to the bedroom to sleep.
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, a notice of the Food Wars was posted on the bulletin board, attracting great attention.
Although food battles are not uncommon, among the participants in this food battle, there was one person who was like a spotlight, attracting a large number of first-year students.
At 4:15 p.m. on that day, at the dedicated competition venue on the second floor of Culinary Building B.
Nearly a thousand students filled the entire auditorium. Not only that, there were also a dozen second-year students standing outside the auditorium, ready to watch this food battle.
“Such high popularity, are they all here for Yi-kun?” Isshiki Hui stood in the aisle outside the auditorium, with his hands on the metal railing, his eyes swept across the audience, and he smiled coolly: “Our classes at Totsuki Academy end at 4 pm. I’m afraid most of the students are here to watch this competition.”
Yoshino Yuuki held her stomach and laughed so hard, “How much do these people hate Tang Jun? There are so many of them. Do they all want to see him lose the game and be embarrassed?”
“Not entirely. I guess most of them are curious. After all, he said that at the opening ceremony.” Sakaki Ryoko brushed her long hair and said softly, “Xiaohui, which side do you support?”
“Eh?” Tansho Kei was confused for a moment, “I don’t know. No one wants them to lose.”
“In other words, which side do you think will win?” Sakaki Ryoko asked relentlessly.
“This… I don’t know.” Tanomo Kei lowered her head and said weakly.
In fact, her heart was more inclined towards Tang Yi at this moment, because the two were classroom partners, and she had some understanding of how powerful Tang Yi was. Besides that, there was some inexplicable feeling, which was that she just didn’t want to see him lose.
“I support Yukihira-kun!” Yoshino Yuuki raised her arms and said excitedly, “He has been working hard for three days, there must be a way!”
Hearing this, Isshiki Hui sighed secretly. When Yoshino Yuuki said this, she had subconsciously confirmed that if Soma Yukihira did not work hard, there would be no solution.
Not to mention this side, at the same time, on the other side of the Polar Star Dormitory members, about fifty meters away in the aisle, a man and a woman were also quietly waiting for the game to begin.
The girl has long silver hair, fair skin and a very delicate face, just like a lovely beautiful girl walking out of a painting.
Behind the silver-haired girl, the tall and slender boy looked listless, leaning against the metal railing, taking a nap with his eyes closed, as if he had not woken up yet.
“Miss, why do you come to watch such a boring game?” Suddenly, the boy who was still sleepy said in a lazy tone.
“It’s not boring at all. That person’s game should be very interesting!” The silver-haired girl’s eyes were charming and full of curiosity.
“That name again, that Chinese guy?”
“Yes. I really can’t imagine that my lovely cousin would accept a man, Tang Yi. This man must have some very interesting secrets~”
The silver-haired girl said this playfully, with a faint curve at the corner of her mouth.
I m looking forward to what kind of dishes he will come up with.
In the waiting room for the game.
Tang Yi sat on the sofa, flipping through a food magazine that he had already read once. Although he could already recite the recipes, he had to read it again to kill time.
Nakiri Erina sat opposite him, and seemed unable to bear the silence, so she finally spoke first: “Tang Yi.”
Tang Yi hummed lightly without even raising his head.
This attitude made Nakiri Erina frown and snorted, “Before the game, let me ask you, have you researched any special rice dishes in the past three days?”
“No.”
“So what have you been doing these three days?”
“Practice cooking. What else can I do? I’m a chef.” Tang Yi raised his head slightly, glanced at Erina who was frowning, and said with a smile: “Well, don’t worry. Although I haven’t studied rice with toppings, I can win. Isn’t it enough to win?”
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri glared at this guy fiercely.
In her opinion, there was no suspense about Tang Yi’s victory. Although she didn’t know who Soma Yukihira was, there was no doubt that the result of the competition would be one-sided.
Besides, she didn t care much about winning or losing. What she really wanted was for Tang Yi to come up with a dish that would impress everyone.
What a nasty guy!
Nakiri Erina snorted, stood up suddenly, and said, “I’m going to the VIP viewing room. If you lose, I won’t forgive you!”
“Okay, okay, okay. Now that I lose, you can do whatever you want. I’ll play any position you want to play with you!” Tang Yi rolled his eyes. Such non-threatening words were as good as nothing.
Erina Nakiri gave him a puzzled look, but didn’t have the nerve to ask what the posture was, so she left the waiting room immediately.
Finally, the host’s voice came through the microphone and spread throughout the entire competition venue.
“Hello everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting. I am the host of this Shokugeki Contest, sophomore Kawashima Rei. This Shokugeki Contest has been recognized as an official one by the Shokugeki Administration, so let’s get started. First, we would like to invite the contestant, the transfer student who said at the opening ceremony a week ago that he wanted to reach the top of the Japanese culinary world, Tang Yi!!”
In an instant, the entire venue erupted in loud shouts.
044 Start (Old Version)
“Transfer student! You’re dead!”
“I’m here to watch you lose! Don’t let me down!”
“You bastard transfer student, you will regret your outrageous words!”
When Tang Yi walked out of the corridor wearing a clean white chef’s uniform, overwhelming cheers came one after another.
“What a loud voice…” Tang Yi showed a look of disgust and put on the chef’s hat in his hand while walking towards the competition stage.
In the VIP viewing room, Erina Nakiri stood in front of the frameless balcony window, watching Tang Yi become the target of public criticism, and couldn’t help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.
“Lady Erina?” Behind her, Hisako Arato looked at Erina Nakiri strangely.
As if she realized that there was someone next to her, Erina Nakiri quickly put on a stern face, coughed lightly, and walked to the comfortable VIP chair and sat down.
The booing from the audience lasted for a long time until Tang Yi stepped onto the stage, and then the crowd gradually calmed down.
In the aisle behind the auditorium, the silver-haired girl kept laughing with her hands covering her mouth.
“Miss?” the man next to the girl spoke lazily.
“Ahahaha… How much is this guy hated! I saw something so funny before the game even started.”
The lazy and unmotivated boy looked at the silver-haired girl strangely, not understanding what was so funny.
At this time, the host Kawashima Rei spoke again.
” Okay, next, let’s welcome another contestant. Surprisingly, this contestant is also a transfer student like Tang Yi! He is Soma Yukihira!”
Ohhhhhhhhh~
The audience burst into long cheers, and soon, Soma Yukihira with red spiky hair walked out of the passage and came to the competition stage.
“Yukihira! Yukihira! Yukihira!”
“We all support you, Yukihira, don’t lose!”
“Come on, Soma Yukihira, you must win! Show that bastard Tang Yi a lesson!”
The thunderous cheers and encouragement flattered Soma Yukihira, and he looked around with confusion.
“Is my popularity so high? Why?”
Hearing this, Kawashima Rei laughed dryly and hurriedly stopped further farce. She said loudly into the microphone: “Okay, both sides of the food battle have come on stage. Now I announce that the theme of the duel is ‘rice bowl’, and the main ingredient is ‘meat’. What kind of dishes will the two contestants bring us? Please let us wait and see. The time limit is: 2 hours. Then, the food battle begins!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the timer on the big screen finally started moving, and thousands of viewers finally fell silent.
“Really…what kind of hatred and grudges are you talking about? My ears are hurting from all that shouting.” Tang Yi rolled his eyes. It was just a casual speech at the opening ceremony. Was there any need to stare at him?
Hearing someone calling his name beside him, Tang Yi had to look sideways, only to see Soma Yukihira staring at him with fiery eyes, as if his whole body was on fire.
“Finally this day has come! I’ve been waiting for years!”
“Really? Come on.”
Tang Yi smiled, turned and walked towards his kitchen counter.
“What’s the matter?”
“I won’t lose! No, I will win! I will let you see clearly the results of these three days!”
Soma Yukihira shouted in a firm tone.
“Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”
After saying this, Tang Yi ignored him and walked to the kitchen counter and rolled up the long sleeves of his chef’s uniform.
“Please, where is the lotus leaf that Yu Mei prepared? This is the key point.”
Sweeping his eyes across the kitchen counter, Tang Yi finally saw three or four lotus leaves placed in a vegetable basket.
Because he specifically asked that the fruits must be picked on the same day, I was worried that it would be a bit difficult to do, but I didn’t expect that I could actually get them for him.
“As expected of a rich man, he actually did it.”
Tang Yi couldn’t help but sigh that everything is easy if you have money.
While muttering to himself, he took out the lotus leaf, washed it carefully under the faucet, then filled half a kettle with water and boiled it over high fire.
After turning the fire to the highest setting, Tang Yi went on to do other things.
He took the rice cooker, poured the washed rice into it, plugged it in and started cooking.
“Next up is beef!”
Humming a little tune softly, Tang Yi took out the beef that Yu Mei had prepared for him.
As soon as he took the piece of beef, Tang Yi frowned unconsciously.
Something s wrong.
Muttering to himself, he took out the Kitchen King’s Blade from his inner pocket, cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth to taste.
In an instant, God’s Tongue analyzed the piece of beef thoroughly based on Tang Yi’s knowledge of ingredients.
“Didn’t I ask her to prepare a piece of ordinary beef? This should be Japanese ‘Wagyu beef’, probably ‘Black-haired Wagyu’, and it’s A5 grade…” Tang Yi complained in his heart, “This is really, too bullying.”
Thinking in his heart, Tang Yi turned around and looked at Soma Yukihira, who was cooking his food very seriously.
“Forget it, there’s no time to change it. I just feel a little sorry for Yukihira. I’m afraid the referee won’t be able to eat his rice bowl…”
Shaking his head, Tang Yi did not think too much about it. After all, the other party came to challenge him. He wanted to add a little water to the beef, but it was A5 grade beef and he couldn’t even add water.
He let out a breath, and Tang Yi’s eyes became a little more serious.
He placed the beef on the chopping board, held the Chef’s Blade with his right index finger, and began to carve marks on the surface of the beef.
Tang Yi’s body remained motionless, only his right arm was waving, while his left hand adjusted the position of the beef appropriately so that his knife could cut at a perfect angle.
There are 72 bevel cuts on the front, 36 pull cuts on the sides, and 21 slices on the bottom, a total of 129 cuts!
Because it was 5A grade beef, Tang Yi had to cut his knife more shallowly to avoid ruining the overall beauty of the meat.
All I saw was a flash of silver light, and invisible cuts were engraved on the beef.
After doing all this, Tang Yi put down the Kitchen King’s Blade, walked to the boiler, soaked the three washed lotus leaves in boiling water for half a minute, and then took them out.
After that, he cut off the power of the rice cooker, opened the lid, poured out the water in the pot, took out the half-cooked rice, and poured it on the lotus leaves.
“What is this transfer student doing?”
“Is that a lotus leaf? What do you want to do?”
“The rice isn’t cooked at all? This stupid idiot, doesn’t he even know this?”
Many viewers saw Tang Yi’s actions on the big screen and found them baffling.
At the back of the audience, the silver-haired girl widened her eyes and murmured in surprise: “Does he want to…”
045 Alice Nakiri (old version)
(Thanks to [?????] and [popo12575] for the 10,000 yuan reward~~)
“Is he going to make lotus leaf steamed rice?! Steamed rice?”
The silver-haired girl was very surprised and stared at Tang Yi on the big screen without blinking.
“Steamed in lotus leaves?” The lazy boy was a little concerned at this moment.
“Steaming rice with lotus leaves is a way to use the fragrance of lotus leaves to enhance the aroma of rice.” The silver-haired girl explained, “It is a very rare cooking method in Denmark, and not very common in Japan either, but in China, this kind of steamed rice is quite popular. There are also similar dishes with bamboo leaves and glutinous rice.”
Having said this, the girl suddenly left the metal railing and walked away quickly.
“Kurokiba, please stay here. I want to get closer to see.”
“Miss “
Tang Yi concentrated intently, dividing the rice into three portions and pouring them onto three warm lotus leaves.
After that, he took out mushrooms, corn and other vegetables from the basket and diced them all into very small pieces.
The Chef’s Blade is like a cutting machine, constantly vibrating up and down, and the ingredients below are pushed over little by little, becoming as small as sesame seeds.
When the audience watches on the big screen, they can only see that all the vegetables are cut in just four or five seconds.
“Wow, what amazing knife skills…” Many people exclaimed in surprise.
Although this transfer student sounds arrogant, he seems to have some abilities.
Tang Yi didn’t care what outsiders thought, he just continued with his work.
The diced vegetables are evenly distributed on three lotus leaves, then sprinkled with a little salt and a few drops of cooking oil, and finally stirred evenly with chopsticks.
“Almost.”
Tang Yi nodded with satisfaction, took cotton thread from the side, completely wrapped three balls of half-cooked rice with lotus leaves, and then tied them up with cotton thread.
Finally, put three balls of lotus leaf steamed rice into the steamer and steam them in boiling water over high heat for 1 hour!
After solving the rice problem, Tang Yi started cooking the beef.
Place the three previously cut pieces of beef tenderloin flat on the chopping board, then add the chopped garlic and shallots and a little olive oil and evenly spread them on the surface.
Then, he lit three stoves and poured appropriate amounts of olive oil into three pans. After the oil was heated to a slight boil, Tang Yi quickly put in the three pieces of beef.
Suddenly, the sizzling sound of frying was heard.
The silver-haired girl walked lightly down the aisle of the auditorium and soon came to the front row. However, she was not satisfied and walked a few more steps along the front row towards Tang Yi. Finally, she was stopped by the staff.
“Student, please don’t come any closer, you’ll disturb the contestants!”
“Ah~ What a pity! I didn’t see clearly how he steamed it in lotus leaves.” The silver-haired girl showed a look of regret.
At this time, Tang Yi had already started flipping the pot like an acrobat.
He just held the handle of the frying pan and shook his wrist slightly. The whole piece of beef flew into the air, rotated 900 degrees in the air, and finally fell back into the pan with a snap.
And the next moment, the beef was thrown up again.
What s shocking is that this isn t just one piece of beef, but three pans cooked simultaneously.
At any given moment, two pieces of beef are flying into the air, and one piece of beef just falls back into the pot.
Tang Yi’s figure moved left and right. Although he looked very busy, the silver-haired girl clearly heard that the man was still humming a little tune.
His expression was full of ease, as if he didn’t feel any effort at all.
“How amazing! He is indeed a boy. His wrist strength is so strong. He is also taking small steps and humming a little tune. He looks so relaxed.”
The silver-haired girl blinked and exclaimed.
“No wonder my dear cousin accepted him. He is indeed capable. What an interesting guy…”
She looked at Tang Yi’s skillful movements, which were flawless, and pursed her lips a little unhappily.
She was expecting Tang Yi to make a mistake, but after waiting for half a minute, she didn’t see any signs of fatigue on Tang Yi’s part.
The silver-haired girl pouted in dissatisfaction, and a mischievous expression appeared on her delicate face.
“Six more times!”
Tang Yi was counting secretly in his heart. He should have paid attention to the flying beef, but at this moment he saw a flash of silver from the corner of his eye, and then he subconsciously looked sideways.
Then, a beautiful figure came into view.
She had shoulder-length silver hair, an exquisite Eastern-American mixed-race face, and a pair of burgundy and orange eyes. She seemed to show a little surprise and joy when their eyes met.
“Alice?” Tang Yi opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment.
But immediately, he noticed the cunning look in the girl’s eyes.
The silver-haired girl showed a playful smile, and said silently as her little mouth opened and closed: “…Do you want to know Erina’s sensitive point~?”
The seductive little mouth spoke silently, and the rosy lips firmly attracted Tang Yi’s attention.
Sensitive point?!
Thinking with a little surprise, the next moment, Tang Yi shuddered all over and his mind suddenly became clear.
Oops! Beef!
Tang Yi had never realized that his reflexes were so strong.
I saw a piece of beef being thrown into the air, and its landing point was shifted, now less than 30 centimeters from the ground.
The other piece only fell a distance of sixty centimeters.
Tang Yi instantly grasped the handles of the two frying pans, then leaned back and lowered the frying pans at the same time.
Everything happened in just a few seconds. Tang Yi’s back was already touching the ground, and the two frying pans were held and stretched out to the left and right. The two pieces of flying beef finally returned to the pan safely.
“That was close…” Tang Yi broke out in a cold sweat.
Not only him, many people in the audience also found it extremely thrilling.
The silver-haired girl, on the other hand, widened her eyes and whispered to herself, “What an amazing physique! This can be saved.”
Meanwhile, the VIP seats.
Erina Nakiri has stood up, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she slowly walked to the frameless balcony window, overlooking the situation on the competition stage from above.
She first saw Tang Yi, who sacrificed his life to save the beef, and then, based on Tang Yi’s gaze, she discovered the silver-haired girl in the first row of the audience.
“Alice…!” Nakiri Erina widened her eyes and thought to herself, “Why is she here? What did she say to Tang Yi that could distract him?”
Want to know Erina’s sensitive spots?
Tang Yi’s mind was full of this sentence, and he couldn’t help but complain in his heart: Then you say it!
046 The fragrance spreads all over the place (old version)
“Oops, contestant Tang Yi seemed to have made a mistake and almost dropped two portions of beef on the ground.”
The host, Rei Kawashima, was reporting the game situation, and she always spoke in the tone of a cute little girl.
“Almost! Really… saying something like that all of a sudden is really concerning, and he didn’t even finish it, it’s driving my obsessive compulsive disorder crazy!”
To be honest, Tang Yi was really curious. He slowly stood up and poured the beef in the pot onto a porcelain plate.
At the same time, his gaze turned again in the previous direction.
The silver-haired girl crossed her arms, with her palms facing each other and fingers clasped together. She stood there coquettishly. When she saw Tang Yi looking at her again, she tilted her head and smiled sweetly.
“Hey~” She knocked her head, making an ambiguous sound.
“Pretend! Keep pretending! You definitely did it on purpose! If an apology is useful, why do we need the police? Is that an apology? You’re just pretending to be innocent.”
Tang Yi complained in his heart, not buying it at all, but he didn’t have time to pay attention to him for the time being and continued to finish his cooking.
Seeing that he ignored her, the silver-haired girl pouted in dissatisfaction again.
The entire scene was seen by Erina Nakiri.
“What? What on earth is this commoner doing?!”
Erina Nakiri felt a little anxious. She didn’t know what was going on, but she had the urge to pick up her phone and call Tang Yi to scold him.
Fortunately, she held back, biting her thumb nail and glaring at Tang Yi on the stage.
Hisako Arato stood quietly behind, looking at Erina Nakiri’s figure, feeling incredible.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Lady Erina like this. Lady Erina is anxious. What is she anxious about? Are you afraid that man will lose?”
Arato Hisako kept thinking in her heart, “He won’t lose. He has the same powerful divine tongue as Erina-sama! Then, Erina-sama, why are you…”
Time passed by minute by minute, and the cooking of the dishes of both sides in the food battle was nearing completion.
Tang Yi put the three pieces of beef into three porcelain plates respectively, then poured the remaining sauces in the three pans together, turned to low heat, and then poured in a small amount of ten-year-old dry red wine.
Half a minute later, Tang Yi took the pot off the stove and poured the thick sauce evenly on the three pieces of beef. Suddenly, a sweet meaty aroma emanated from the pot.
“Finally, the rice…”
With a slight smile, Tang Yi walked to the steamer, opened the lid, and fanned away the overwhelming steam, revealing the lotus leaf steamed rice underneath.
Afterwards, Tang Yi put on cotton gloves and took out three servings of lotus leaf steamed dishes from the pot.
What is worth noting here is that Tang Yi chose a wooden bowl and put three portions of steamed rice wrapped tightly in lotus leaves into the bowl.
At this point, the dish is basically finished.
The host, Rei Kawashima, kept an eye on the time on the electronic clock. When the final time returned to zero, she finally stood up from her seat and walked to the center of the competition stage.
“Okay, time’s up! Please both sides start serving the dishes. If you have already served the dishes, please bring them to the judging table! Now we will enter the final review phase. Which contestant’s dish is more delicious? This will be left to our three judges!”
While these words were being spoken, the director also cut the camera to Tang Yi and the other person. From what the audience could see on the big screen, it was clear that the two had already completed all the work.
However, neither of them was in a hurry to bring the dishes to the judging table.
When Tang Yi turned around and looked at Soma Yukihira, the other party also turned around and looked at him.
“You go first.” After a moment of silence, Tang Yi said with a slight smile.
“Huh? Why?” Yukihira Soma grinned and said, “Although we finished plating almost at the same time, it is obvious that you deliberately delayed a little time during the cooking process, so you are actually faster and should be first.”
Hearing this, Tang Yi pondered for a long time before he said softly, “During the judging process, the person who serves the dish first has an advantage. Don’t you know that?”
The dish served first will be tasted first, and if the one served later cannot beat the former, the judges will subconsciously favor the first dish when evaluating.
To put it more simply, after the judge has eaten a dish first, his hunger level will be reduced to a certain extent, which is a disadvantage for those who are served the dish later.
“Of course I know, but I’m the challenger. If I can’t face this tiny disadvantage, then the challenge becomes meaningless.” Yukihira Soma said firmly, “In other words, if I go first and win in the end, I don’t think it’s a complete victory!”
Tang Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, “It’s good to have confidence, but… do you know why there are so many Chinese cuisines?”
“What are you talking about…”
“In ancient times, we Chinese often had to face famine because there were too many people and too little food. This forced our ancestors to eat some very unpalatable food. So in order to obtain delicious food and continue to survive, we developed such a colorful food culture!”
Tang Yi smiled slightly and said calmly, “No matter what kind of rice bowl it is, the most fundamental purpose is to make people full. Are you sure you want me to serve the dishes first?”
After listening to the long speech, Soma Yukihira was not shaken at all.
“Of course, you serve the food first, and then I will win this food battle!”
“What a shame. I wasted my breath.” Tang Yi took a deep breath and said nothing more. “Since you despise the advantage of being the first to go, I’ll teach you a lesson this time.”
After saying that, Tang Yi brought three dishes to the judging table.
He looked directly at the three men, with a faint smile on his face, and said, “Three judges, this is my dish, called ‘Tang’s Steamed Beef in Lotus Leaf’!”
“What is this?” The three judges looked at each other.
A wooden bowl containing something wrapped in lotus leaves, and a porcelain plate with a piece of fragrant beef.
“How rude, this is how you eat this dish…” Tang Yi held the Chef’s Blade and gently slashed it across three servings of lotus leaf steamed rice.
The tied cotton rope broke instantly under the sharp blade, and then the tightly wrapped lotus leaves opened up completely like blooming flowers.
The next moment, the fragrance was so strong that it spread for miles!
