Shokugeki no Sora: Obtain Lan Feihong’s inheritance at the beginning!

After traveling to the world of Shokugeki, Lin Han brought with him a heritage system.

The dark cooking world, the light cooking world, and the Tai Chi cooking world!

Special-grade chefs, unicorn-grade chefs, dragon-grade chefs, everything is available!

Inheriting the legacy of the prodigal son Yan Xian, under the supersonic cooking skills, everything is false.

Inherit the legacy of Ruyunlong Kaiyou, break the Eight Demon Formations, and bewitch people’s hearts.

Inheriting the Jade Kirin Ma Liu heritage, the Emperor of Sichuan cuisine looks down on all directions!

Shokugeki no Sora: Obtain Lan Feihong’s inheritance at the beginning!
【1】Travel through time, the strongest food god inheritance system!
I traveled through time. I actually traveled through time.
Facing the reality before him, Lin Han still felt a little bit unbelievable.
Although he had seen so many ways of time travel, Lin Han had never expected this.
Stepping on a banana peel on the road can also cause you to cross the river.
However, the noisy sounds around interrupted Lin Han’s thoughts.
“In half a day, the person in charge of the review from Totsuki Academy will be here, but…”
“Chef Zeng has been thinking hard about this for several days. I wonder if he has come up with a suitable dish!”
“What a joke! The person who came here is said to be one of the top ten. Can he really pass the test by cramming at the last minute?”
A middle-aged man wearing a chef’s iconic white uniform and a white chef’s hat on his head.
He squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, as if he had fallen into endless despair.
Lin Han frowned slightly and looked at the chaos in front of him.
He found himself in a place that looked like a restaurant’s kitchen, with kitchen utensils lined up all around him.
And some utensils such as steamers and ovens.
A dozen middle-aged men who looked much older than him seemed to be troubled by something.
Either standing or squatting, each looking sad.
Originally, the faces of these people were unfamiliar in Lin Han’s mind.
But the next moment, some memories were suddenly forced into Lin Han’s brain.
It made him quickly remember the identities of these people and his situation in this world.
Lin Han is a descendant of the Chinese nation who was born in Japan. His father runs a Chinese restaurant called Qingchuanlou in Japan.
Kiyokawa-ro is built right next to the Totsuki Saryo Culinary Academy, a holy place for chefs in the Japanese culinary world.
Being able to operate next to such a culinary mecca shows that Qingchuanlou also has certain culinary skills.
Lin Han, who grew up in Qingchuan Building, is very popular among the chefs in the building because he is kind to others.
As the only son, he is naturally the sole heir to Qingchuanlou.
At this point in time, Lin Han is already fifteen years old, and will soon be going to high school.
Lin Han aims to become the world’s best chef.
Of course, I want to be admitted to Totsuki Academy.
But now, there is a bigger crisis lying before Lin Han.
That is Qingchuan Building, which is about to face the danger of closing!
Lin Han’s father vaguely heard that some high-ranking officials of Totsuki Academy wanted to take back all the land near their academy.
Then, create a commercial food street that suits your taste near the school.
Therefore, they will naturally try to reclaim the land of those restaurants that they rely on for business.
Qingchuanlou is such an existence.
Although there is some cooperation in interests with Totsuki Academy, the operation of Qingchuan Building relies on its own strength.
This also means that Qingchuanlou is not like other restaurants, which need to act according to the mood of Totsuki Academy.
Qingchuanlou’s business is pretty good and it has a stable customer base.
But its land still belongs to Totsuki Academy.
Qingchuan Building only rented this place.
This is also the cleverness of Totsuki Academy.
Once Totsuki Academy is determined to take back this land by force.
Then Qingchuan Tower will be at a great disadvantage!
It was precisely because Totsuki Academy saw this that they sent people to conduct the so-called inspection.
“I heard that the person coming here is one of the top ten talents and has an extremely picky taste. If the dishes we make don’t suit his taste, then everything will be over…”
A chef said, holding his head in pain.
“Boss Lin and Chef Zeng have been discussing the dishes for several days, but neither of them seems very confident.”
The Boss Lin they were talking about was naturally the owner of Qingchuan Building, Lin Han’s father, Lin Qingchuan.
Chef Zeng is the head chef of Qingchuanlou.
“If even they can’t come up with satisfactory dishes, what can we do…”
In the kitchen, except for Lin Han, everyone seemed to be in an extremely sad mood.
Even Lin Han was infected by this emotion and unconsciously clenched his fists slightly.
But no matter whether it is Lin Han who traveled through time or the original Lin Han himself.
Their talent in cooking is average.
Therefore, until I was fifteen, I had a good relationship with everyone in Qingchuanlou.
Lin Han is only qualified to help in the kitchen.
Even if he wanted to help now, he was powerless.
Lin Han was not unfamiliar with Totsuki Academy before he traveled here.
That is the most famous culinary school in Japan.
The Totsuki Ten are the ten most outstanding people in Totsuki Academy.
They were sent to act as examiners, and it was obvious that Qingchuanlou would have a hard time passing the test this time.
“There must be a way. Since God arranged for me to travel through time, he wouldn’t leave me nothing, right…”
Just as Lin Han was muttering to himself.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully integrating with the new identity in the Food Wars world. The Strongest Food God System has been activated and is now in the process of system binding. ]In Lin Han’s heart at this moment, this voice was like the sound of nature!
System. This term was very familiar to Lin Han, who was a fan of novels in his previous life.
【Current binding progress: 10%. 】
[Current binding progress: 40%. ][Current binding progress: 70%. ]…
Lin Han waited patiently.

“What are popularity points and points for?”
Lin Han asked.
[Popularity points will be used as a must-have for the host to improve his or her attribute panel, and points can be used for card draws. ][Whenever the host completes a task issued by the system, he or she can obtain corresponding popularity points and points rewards based on the degree of completion. ][When the dishes made by the host are recognized and appreciated by senior chefs, they will receive additional rewards. ]A cold mechanical sound rang in Lin Han’s consciousness, and then his eyes blurred.
There is an electronic personal attribute panel in front of him that only Lin Han can see.
[Name: Lin Han][Age: 15 years old][Level: Third-rate chef][Physical Strength: 5]【Knife Skill: 4】
[Heat: 5][Five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell): 4/3/5/6/4][Card: 0]【Kitchenware: 0】
[Evaluation: The lowest level of chefs, the most inferior level, the dishes he makes are rarely eaten by people. ]Looking at the panel attributes in front of him, Lin Han couldn’t help but feel ashamed of the original owner’s talent.
You know, the highest attribute level of a third-rate chef is 10 points.
Looking at this personal attribute panel, the original owner failed in all aspects except his sense of taste.
[The host’s novice status has been detected. The system grants the host a free lottery draw. Do you want to use it now? ]“Yes, of course.”
Lin Han said.
People from Totsuki Academy will come to inspect in the afternoon, and Lin Han doesn’t have much time to waste.
The light screen in front of him changed, and then nine fluorescent blue cards arranged in a nine-square grid appeared in front of Lin Han.
Lin Han clicked on the one in the middle.
5 is his lucky number.
The fifth card was slowly turned over, and on the card was a face that Lin Han was familiar with.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the S-level character card – Lan Feihong! ]The character on the card has long hair and blue eyes, and looks as handsome as a nobleman.
Combined with his understanding of Lan Feihong’s strength, Lin Han was quite satisfied with the result of this free draw.
[After actively using this card, the host will gain all the abilities of the card Lan Feihong, which will last for 1 hour.]After listening to the system’s introduction, Lin Han clicked on the card to check its detailed information.
【Card Character: Lan Feihong】
[Level: S-level card]【Kitchenware: Garuda knife】
【Special dishes: Dragon beard noodles】
Although there is not much introduction on the card, fortunately Lin Han is clear about Lan Feihong’s strength.
Lin Han was confident that the dishes made by Lan Feihong, who was a dragon chef, were enough to deal with the people who came to inspect from Totsuki Academy.
“In that case, let’s start preparing the ingredients.”
Lin Han glanced at the people in the kitchen who were still in a state of despair and left quietly.
In order to save Qingchuan Building, Lin Han has to make all preparations now!
In the afternoon, the examiners from Totsuki Academy came to Kiyokawa Building.
Lin Han also went to receive the other party with everyone in Qingchuan Building.
When he saw the person in charge of the review, he was slightly surprised.
Because the person who came was actually Gin Dojima, one of the top ten students in Totsuki Academy!
Gin Dojima, who has a shaved head, is more muscular than the average man, and looks even more imposing in a well-tailored suit.
The several men in black following behind him made him look less like a food reviewer.
Instead, he looks more like the leader of some underworld organization.
In fact, Dojima Gin, who was once the leader of the 69th Totsuki Academy’s Ten Elites, now has another identity.
He is the chief chef of Totsuki Resort and a member of the board of directors.
When he becomes the Chief Censor, no one dares to say that he is not qualified.
However, the people in Kiyokawa-ro who recognized Gin Dojima saw that the person who came to investigate was actually Gintoki Dojima.
I feel like crying but I have no tears.
“Dojima Gin, why is it Dojima Gin?”
Following behind Lin Qingchuan, a chef named Kazuo Ishida said with a sad face.
Originally, they didn’t have much confidence that Totsuki Academy would be able to pass this inspection.
With Dojima Gin coming in person to review it, wouldn’t it be even more impossible to pass?
Lin Qingchuan, the owner of Qingchuanlou, appeared calm at the time, but the tense backs of his hands betrayed his thoughts.
“You are Mr. Dojima who is here for this inspection, right? I have heard of your great name for a long time. Please come with me and sit here for a while.”
Dojima Gin nodded.
Although he looks fierce, he acts with great dignity.
There is a feeling of being decisive and uncompromising.
Seeing Lin Qingchuan taking Dojima Gin to the private room of Qingchuanlou, the chefs present also perked up.
“Don’t give up until the end!”
“That’s right. Even if we have to do everything we can, we must protect Qingchuan Building!”
Zeng Fan, the head chef, sighed, with a tone that suggested he do his best and leave the rest to fate.
“As I just instructed, everyone go to the kitchen and prepare everything.”
“yes!”
Just like military training, the chefs dispersed and did what they were supposed to do.
As a kitchen helper in Wanhou Hou, Lin Han was naturally only assigned simple tasks such as washing vegetables.
“Boy, now is the critical moment for the survival of Qingchuan Building, don’t be distracted!”
Lin Han, who was peeling bamboo shoots in his hand, was suddenly tapped on the head, which brought him back to his senses.
It’s chef Naoto Nagasawa.
“Sorry, I was just thinking about something.”
Naoto Nagasawa and Lin Han have a good relationship, so Lin Han just smiled and said.
Just then, a voice came from the side.
“After all, he is the boss’s son. Even if Qingchuanlou closes down, he can open another place and still have enough food and drink, right?”

【3】Yan Du Xian (Please save it!) (Old version)
It was clearly the voice of a boy who was about the same age as Lin Han, but it inexplicably sounded eerie.
Naoto Nagasawa’s expression suddenly became very stern.
“Shibasaki! What are you talking about? Aren’t we all working together to ensure that Qingchuanlou can continue to operate?”
Shibasaki Takuya shrugged, glanced at Lin Han with a cold gaze, then lowered his head and continued doing his own thing.
Lin Han smiled at Nagasawa Naoto, who had a somewhat embarrassed expression, to show that he didn’t mind.
After all, if you are walking on the road and suddenly bitten by a mad dog, as a human being, you can’t bite back.
In Lin Han’s memory, this young man named Shibasaki Takuya was two years older than himself.
After finishing junior high school, he came to Qingchuanlou to work and is currently in charge of the cold dish cuisine at Qingchuanlou.
It has to be said that before Lin Han came here, Shibasaki Takuya was indeed more talented in cooking than him.
Takuya Shibasaki’s dream is to own a restaurant of his own.
This is also the reason why he looks down on Lin Han, who has ordinary talent but a bright future because he is the boss’s son.
But so what?
Lin Han raised the corners of his lips slightly.
People who are self-righteous but unable to prove themselves in reality can only satisfy themselves with their words.
“Stop arguing and finish your work.”
Head chef Zeng Fan frowned and spoke sternly.
His head was covered in sweat, and he didn’t know if it was due to the heat from the pot or because he was nervous.
After discussing with Lin Qingchuan, Zeng Fan decided to cook a Chinese dish called “Yan Du Xian”.
The preparation of this dish seems simple, but it tests the chef’s control of the heat.
The timing of the fire is exactly the ability that Zeng Fan is proud of.
Long before Dojima Gin arrived, Zeng Fan had already washed the pork belly and fresh pork leg that would be needed.
At this time, he was standing by the stove, carefully watching the meat in the casserole.
To make Yan Du Xian, you must simmer it over medium heat.
If the fire is too big, the meat will not only be difficult to stew until it is tender, but it will also taste tough.
Moreover, when stewing this dish, the lid of the pot should not be covered during the whole process, otherwise the soup will not be able to present the “fresh” quality.
This is a taboo for a dish that needs to conquer diners with its taste.
Lin Han processed the bamboo shoots and handed them to Zeng Fan.
“Uncle Zeng, I have something I want to go out for, is that ok?”
Lin Han wanted to see how his ingredients were prepared.
Zeng Fan, his eyes still fixed on the stove, nodded casually.
“There’s nothing to do now, go ahead.”
“Thank you, Uncle Zeng.”
Lin Han said pretending to be happy.
At the same time, Takuya Shibasaki sneered, but when he saw Naoto Nagasawa’s warning look, he said nothing.
After Lin Han left, Zeng Fan, who had stewed the meat until it was half done, continued to add chopped bamboo shoots into the pot to increase the flavor.
Cook until all ingredients are cooked and skim off the foam on the surface of the soup.
Zeng Fan took out the scallion segments that were added to the pot at the beginning, and served out the unusually clear soup and the colorful ingredients.
The dish of pickled pork with preserved vegetables is now ready.
The pungent smell made everyone in the kitchen come closer involuntarily.
“Lin Han has been gone for so long, why hasn’t he come back yet?”
Naoto Nagasawa said.
“After all, he doesn’t need to worry about his future like we do.”
Shibasaki Takuya smiled and said.
Naoto Nagasawa frowned and was about to say something, but was stopped by Zeng Fan with a wave of his hand.
“Okay, we’ll talk about it later. First, send this bowl of soup to Mr. Dojima to taste.”
“yes.”
Everyone who was concerned about the outcome of this incident left the kitchen.
After a while, a black head suddenly popped out from the empty kitchen door.
“Everyone has left.”
Seeing that the kitchen was empty, Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at what he had in his hand, a confident smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“I’m afraid that the pickled pork with preserved vegetables alone won’t be enough to conquer Mr. Dojima’s stomach, Uncle Zeng.”
“But it doesn’t matter. Leave the responsibility of saving Qingchuan Building to me.”
Through his thoughts, Lin Han took the Lan Feihong card he had drawn.
It appeared before his eyes in the form of an electronic light screen that only he could see.
Lan Feihong on the card is handsome and his flowing long hair makes him look like a noble young man from an aristocratic family.
Coupled with his outstanding cooking talent, he earned the name “Genius Ah Fei”.
And he has become the most popular character in the Cooking Master Boy.
Lin Han reached out and held Lan Feihong’s card, and according to the system’s prompts, he put the card on his forehead.
In an instant, the cards turned into blue spots of light like summer fireflies and merged into Lin Han’s body.
Lin Han felt as if his consciousness was immersed in some warm spring water.
A magical force seemed to have caused his brain and body to undergo earth-shaking changes!
The fusion process seems long, but it is actually completed in just a few seconds.
“call–“
Lin Han slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, he looked a little different from before.
Whether it is the unintentional actions or the temperament, the current Lin Han.
They all seem to be closer to Lan Feihong, who is known as the nobleman of the food world.
But Lin Han didn’t care about these things.
He needs to prepare his meal before Dojima Gin leaves!
What Lin Han is going to make is naturally Lan Feihong’s specialty – Dragon Beard Noodles!
【4】The Face of a Peerless Beauty! (Please save this!) (Old Version)
This dish helped Lan Feihong easily qualify for the preliminary round of the top chef competition.
At the same time, it also has an imaginative name – peerless beauty.
Opening the lotus leaf in his hand, Lin Han took out the dough that had been proofed and began to knead it.
Through the cards, Lin Han has completely acquired all of Lan Feihong’s dragon beard noodle making skills.
The common kneading technique is also not used.
Instead, divide the dough between your two hands and spin it like dancing.
Keep moving your arms to pull the dough!
If there was a second person in the kitchen at this time, he would definitely be surprised by Lin Han’s actions.
Because he doesn’t look like he’s cooking at all, but rather dancing at a high-class ball!
His posture is graceful and calm, as if he is a god lost in the world.
As Lin Han moved, the dough in his hands became thinner, wider and tougher.
From a distance, it was not dough at all, but a piece of snow-white gauze!
However, if they look closer, they will be even more surprised.
Because this so-called white gauze is actually made up of countless silk-like noodles!
Each noodle is as thin as a hair and can easily pass through the eye of a needle.
Just the technique of pulling noodles by hand is something that not many people can do!
You know, most pastry chefs can only pull the dough about ten times.
And Lin Han has pulled it twenty times!
Such superb ramen making skills also make his noodles look not only thinner but also whiter.
Even under the light, it exudes a crystal-like feeling that seems to be dripping with tears.
The pulled noodles were put into the oil pan and fried slightly, making the originally pure white noodles turn a light golden color.
Looks more appetizing too.
Then comes the actual cooking of the noodles.
Although fried, the thin noodles are not easy to overcook, but you want to get the best noodle texture.
The chef also needs to have an excellent grasp of the heat.
It is so short that it seems like the blanching time, but too short will reduce the taste of the fried noodles.
If it is too long, the noodles will be mushy.
To cook this dragon beard noodles well, not only the skills of making the noodles are strictly required.
The temperature must also be accurate to milliseconds!
However, for Lin Han, who has completely integrated the Lan Feihong card, this is not a problem at all.
Amid the steaming hot smoke, the noodles were quickly scooped out and poured into a bowl.
The snow-white and slightly golden color makes people’s appetite grow.
Add to that the small amount of soup that Lin Han had prepared at the same time, and the dragon beard noodles were ready!
Looking at the fragrant finished product in front of him, Lin Han nodded.
Next, it was time to give it to Dojima Gin to taste.
And in the private room on the second floor of Qingchuan Building.
Lin Qingchuan, Zeng Fan and others looked nervously at Dojima Gin who was tasting the pickled pork with preserved vegetables.
He picked up the spoon next to the snow-white porcelain bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and slowly tasted it.
The long and thick eyebrows that looked full of domineering moved and then stretched out.
Seems to be quite satisfied with the taste.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qingchuan and Zeng Fan looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s half the battle.
Then, Dojima Gin picked up a piece of tender pork leg with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
He closed his eyes, as if trying to fully feel the taste of the dish.
Then, his brows suddenly frowned.
This also made Lin Qingchuan and others feel startled.
Dojima Gin opened his eyes, as if he had made a decision.
“Not qualified.”
The moment these words came out of his mouth, it was like a bolt from the blue for everyone in Qingchuan Building.
“Why……”
“Mr. Dojima…”
Dojima Gin raised his hand, interrupting Lin Qingchuan and Zeng Fan, and then said lightly.
“This dish you made should be a Chinese stew, right?”
Zeng Fan nodded subconsciously.
“Your soup is indeed very delicious. This should come from the original taste of the ingredients.”
Dojima Ginmichi, this is his affirmation of Zeng Fan.
“But there are too many disadvantages.”
However, Dojima Gin suddenly changed the subject.
“First of all, the temperature of your soup is too high, which is a big taboo for customers.”
“No guest is obliged to wait patiently for your dishes to cool down to a temperature that is easy to eat after you serve them.”
“Secondly, the ingredients used in this dish are already able to produce enough umami flavor. All that is needed is a matter of time and heat.”
Dojima Gin’s tone gradually became stern.
“But from the texture of the meat just now, I couldn’t feel the tender and tender texture that the soup should have.”
“You probably saw that you didn’t have enough time, so you shortened the stewing time and used other methods to enhance the flavor of the soup.”
“For a dish that should use its own flavor as its selling point, it needs to be supplemented with other foods to achieve such a result. What’s the difference between this and despicable cheating?”
Zeng Fan was covered in cold sweat when faced with Dojima Gin’s scolding.
He originally thought that he just needed to make the dish delicious enough to satisfy Dojima Gin.
However, he didn’t expect that Dojima Gin not only saw through his trick, but also figured out the various characteristics of this dish!
Even though he knew that Dojima Gin was picky, every reason he gave made Zeng Fan unable to refute!
“Qingchuan Building failed this assessment!”
【5】Failed! Failed the test! (5 more. Please save this!) (Old version)
The merciless voice filled everyone in Qingchuan Building with despair.
Domoto Gin’s rejection meant that Kiyokawaro would not pass the review.
There is no way to continue operating!
“Mr. Dojima, please wait a moment, can you give us another chance…”
Seeing Dojima Gin getting up and about to leave, Lin Qingchuan hurried forward to explain, but was stopped by Dojima Gin’s entourage.
“I have no interest in continuing to talk to someone who is trying to get away with ‘cheating’.”
Mr. Dojima said coldly.
He picked up the suit jacket hanging on the back of the chair and was about to stand up and leave.
A voice suddenly sounded.
“Mr. Dojima, I heard that you are a world-famous chef. How about you try my dish before you leave?”
Everyone turned around in surprise.
Lin Han walked into the private room holding a white porcelain bowl with blue flowers.
“Akan?”
Seeing Lin Han, Lin Qingchuan also showed a surprised expression.
He then frowned.
“What are you doing here? This is not a child’s game!”
The tone sounded a bit harsh, but it also came from Lin Qingchuan’s clear understanding of his son’s cooking skills.
Lin Qingchuan, who has never been a believer in feudal superstition, would never believe that his son could die overnight.
Suddenly he became a chef with extraordinary skills.
Even Lin Qingchuan is like this, not to mention the other people in Qingchuan Building.
When Shibasaki Takuya saw Lin Han coming in, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then it turned into a sneer in his eyes.
“Akan, please go back quickly. Even Chef Zeng’s specialty dishes were just severely criticized by Mr. Dojima.”
Naosawa Naoto advised him in a low voice.
Lin Han ignored it and put the tray in his hand on the table.
“Who are you?”
Dojima Gin looked down at Lin Han, who was only fifteen years old and whose body had not yet fully developed.
However, Dojima Gin, who was superior in both height and aura, noticed the boy in front of him.
She actually exuded a calm temperament that even he couldn’t help but admire!
You know, this is the person that Gin Dojima, the head chef of Totsuki Academy, usually deals with.
They are all upper class people.
The handsome young man in front of him exudes an elegant temperament that is no less than those upper-class people!
Even though Qingchuanlou’s shabby uniform was on him.
It also looks as luxurious as an evening gown.
Dojima Gin, who was originally planning to leave, couldn’t help but become interested in Lin Han.
Lin Han smiled calmly. Facing Dojima Gin’s powerful aura, he was not at all timid. Instead, he looked very at ease.
“My name is Lin Han, and I’m the son of the manager of this Qingchuanlou store.”
Lin Qingchuan and others also discovered that Lin Han seemed a little different from before.
In the past, Lin Han had an easy-going personality, but was a bit introverted.
But at this moment, Lin Han’s calm confidence was more like a powerful aura emanating from his heart!
Before speaking or acting, he exudes an aristocratic elegance!
They were so shocked by Lin Han’s sudden change that they almost forgot to speak for a moment.
“Really? But my review is over. You should have heard the result just now. Qingchuanlou is unqualified.”
Dojima Gin said calmly.
As he has a religious devotion to food, he naturally would not allow such opportunistic situations to occur.
“Since Mr. Dojima is here to review Kiyokawa-ro, as the successor of Kiyokawa-ro, am I not more qualified than anyone else to participate in the review?”
Lin Han took a step slightly diagonally forward, blocking Dojima Gin’s way, and said lightly.
Dojima Gin raised his eyebrows.
After Lin Han said this, Zeng Fan’s face turned a little bad, and the other people in Qingchuan Building were also a little at a loss.
After being surprised, Takuya Shibasaki secretly revealed an expression of gloating.
This kid, does he know what he is talking about?
Naosawa Naoto was filled with anxiety.
However, Lin Han ignored the different expressions of the people in Qingchuan Building.
He looked at Dojima Gin in front of him and continued calmly.
“I am willing to bet on the reputation of Qingchuanlou and the Lin family. Please try my dishes, Mr. Dojima. I believe you will not be disappointed.”
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
“Really? Then what if the dishes you make don’t satisfy me?”
Dojima Gin asked with interest.
“I believe in Mr. Dojima’s taste. Besides, if the dishes made by a restaurant cannot satisfy the requirements of the customers, then there is no need for this restaurant to exist, right?”
Lin Han said calmly.
“Akan!”
Lin Qingchuan said in a stern voice. Hearing Lin Han’s arrogant words, he felt his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Dojima Gin gave a playful smile and sat back in his chair after having already stood up.
“Mr. Lin, does what your son said count?”
Lin Qingchuan was about to deny it, but when he met Lin Han’s eyes, he was stunned.
In those calm eyes, there is confidence, composure, and the expectation of gaining one’s trust!
As the owner of Qingchuanlou, Lin Qingchuan is responsible for the entire restaurant.
But as Lin Han’s father, how could he ignore his son’s expectations!
Lin Qingchuan gritted his teeth and nodded slowly under the gaze of countless eyes.
“Is the boss crazy?”
“Shouldn’t he know better than us how good A-Han’s cooking skills are?”
“Is the future of Qingchuan Tower going to be ruined today?”
For a moment, the Qingchuan Building employees who were communicating frantically with their eye contact could all read despair in each other’s eyes.
However, when Lin Qingchuan nodded, he seemed to feel relieved.
Fortunately, the dishes made by Zeng Fan had been judged as unqualified by Dojima Gin.
Failure of the review means that the land of Qingchuan Building will be taken back by Totsuki Academy.
Even if Lin Han failed, the result would be the same.
【6】The Taste of Happiness! Dojima Gin’s Shock! (6 more chapters, please bookmark!) (Old version)
Dojima Gin’s smile deepened. He folded his fingers and looked at Lin Han in front of him.
“In that case, let me taste your food.”
Lin Han smiled, nodded, and walked forward to pick up the lid of the blue and white porcelain bowl.
A rich but not greasy fresh scent instantly hits your nose.
“This is……”
Everyone in the private room, including Dojima Gin, closed their eyes unconsciously and breathed in the fragrance.
“This scent is refreshing and pleasant.”
Dojima Gin said as he felt the aroma.
“It seems to be able to turn into a substantial soup, allowing the tip of the tongue and the esophagus to taste this fresh, fragrant, rich, and warm flavor.”
Hearing what Dojima Gin said, Lin Qingchuan and others showed expressions of surprise and joy.
Zeng Fan’s pickled pork with preserved vegetables just now had a very rich aroma, but it did not receive praise from Dojima Gin.
After being surprised, Takuya Shibasaki sneered in his heart.
It just smells good, he doesn’t believe that the dishes made by Lin Han can be that delicious.
As he was thinking this, he heard Dojima Gin suddenly say “hmm” in surprise.
Dojima Gin, who was closest to the porcelain bowl, lowered his head and naturally saw the hair-thin noodles in the bowl.
That’s why he made a surprised sound.
With Dojima Gin’s experience, he could naturally tell that these noodles were purely pulled by hand.
But to be able to pull a dough into such thin strands as hair, and to make each strand so even.
There are quite strict requirements for a chef’s techniques!
Even for Gin Dojima, among the people he knew, there were only a few who could make such thin noodles!
And when Dojima Gin picked up the chopsticks and slowly picked up a handful of noodles.
He was even more surprised by the flexibility of the noodles he felt with chopsticks!
Such thin noodles, even if just blanched, will most likely immediately turn into batter and melt into the soup.
But at this moment, the noodles are all intact!
Even when he picked up the noodles with chopsticks, he could still feel the elasticity under the slight trembling.
It’s as if these noodles have come alive!
But soon, Dojima Gin discovered the key.
“Before cooking, you lightly fry the noodles in low-temperature oil to set their shape and make them more resistant to cooking.”
Dojima Gin looked at Lin Han with admiration on his face.
Although this is a little trick, it is quite difficult to control the heat so that the noodles do not burn.
“The appearance and aroma are very good, which successfully aroused my appetite, but you have to know that the most important thing about a dish is its taste.”
This statement is both a compliment and a warning.
Don’t think that my approval of the appearance and aroma of your dish means that I approve of the entire dish.
“There is an old Chinese saying that food should be eaten while it is hot. Mr. Dojima, please enjoy your meal.”
Lin Han just smiled slightly and extended his hand to Dojima Gin as a gesture of invitation.
Originally this action was very ordinary, but when he did it, it seemed to have a kind of aristocratic elegance.
Compared to the people in Qingchuanlou who were trembling with fear in front of Dojima Gin.
Lin Han looked more like an upper-class person of equal status to Dojima Gin.
This also made Shibasaki Takuya so angry that his teeth were itching.
“It must be just a coincidence. Yes, this kid must have seen how to cook this dish somewhere, so he copied it.”
“How could he, who usually only washes vegetables in the kitchen, suddenly become a great culinary talent overnight?”
“If you fry the noodles at a low temperature and the temperature is not right, the texture of the noodles will be completely ruined.”
“Even Chef Zeng can’t control the heat like this!”
Looking at Dojima Gin who was about to put the handful of noodles into his mouth.
Takuya Shibasaki kept convincing himself in his heart that there was absolutely no way Lin Han could make noodles that even Chef Zeng found difficult to make!
However, when Dojima Gin savored the dragon beard noodles made by Lin Han.
Dojima Gin, who was originally like a tough guy and rarely showed any expression, suddenly twitched the muscles on his face.
“This taste…”
Dojima Gin, who was closing his eyes and savoring the taste of the noodles in his mouth, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stared at the dragon-bearded noodles in front of him, as if he was looking at a dangerous enemy.
In addition to Lin Han, Lin Qingchuan and others were also worried.
Is this delicious… or not?
Then they saw Dojima Gin quickly picked up another handful of noodles with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
This time, he swallowed the noodles without even chewing.
“I’ve never had noodles as tender as this!”
After what seemed like an eternity, Dojima Gin slowly opened his eyes.
There was a gleam of surprise in his eyes.
tender?
Lin Qingchuan and Zeng Fan were stunned, and they looked at each other.
But I can’t guess what Dojima Gin was thinking when he said this.
After all, they had never heard anyone use the word “tender” to describe noodles.
Dojima Gin quickly explained the answer to them.
“The ultra-thin noodles fried at low temperature, after being blanched in boiling water, do not have the fried taste, but still retain the density of the noodles.”
“When you pick it up with chopsticks, the noodles seem to be very chewy, but the moment they enter your mouth, they are like fragrant but not greasy butter, quickly melting on the tip of your tongue!”
“I’ve never tasted anything like this before!”
As an experienced chef, Dojima Gin has naturally eaten noodles that are as good as this bowl of dragon beard noodles.
But no one has ever been able to give him such a surprise in the taste of a bowl of noodles!
The dense, yet melt-in-your-mouth texture is not caused by the noodles being overcooked.
But it comes from the characteristics of the noodles themselves!
Such a warm and delicate taste even makes people feel a kind of – the taste of happiness!
From Dojima Gin’s eloquent words, everyone in Qingchuanlou seemed to feel the taste of the food that melted in the mouth.
Lingering between lips and teeth.
In addition to absorbing the umami flavor of the soup itself, this bowl of noodles also has a subtle and unique aroma.
Attracted the attention of Dojima Gin.
【7】Moonlight over the Lotus Pond! You’ve passed! (7 more chapters, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“This aroma is very familiar, but it seems like I have never tasted it before…”
I am very fond of the light and refreshing fragrance lingering on the tip of my tongue.
Dojima Gin couldn’t help but take another bite of the noodles.
He picked up the spoon on the tray again and took a sip of soup.
However, he discovered that the aroma did not come from the soup, but from the noodles themselves.
The soup itself is also very delicious and impeccable.
But the subtle fragrance mixed in the noodles was the key to attracting Dojima Gin.
“I see, it’s the lotus!”
Dojima Gin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Han with burning eyes.
“You added the scent of lotus to the noodles! How on earth did you do that?”
Although I have heard that there are some lotus dishes in China, they are basically fried products like tempura.
Moreover, there is no trace of lotus in this noodle.
Dojima Gin’s first guess was that Lin Han squeezed the lotus juice and mixed it into the flour used to make noodles.
However, the noodles made in this way, although having the fragrance of lotus, will also become astringent in taste.
However, this bowl of noodles made by Lin Han did not have such a situation at all.
The noodles are not only smooth and soft, but also have a refreshing lotus scent.
With the soup which is already light and refreshing, even three more bowls are enough to whet your appetite!
Although Lin Qingchuan and the others had not tasted Lin Han’s dragon beard noodles, they knew from Dojima Gin’s description.
They seemed to be able to imagine the taste of this bowl of dragon beard noodles.
“The reason why there are lotus flowers in this bowl of noodles is because I picked the fresh lotus flowers of the day in advance.”
“Then wrap the kneaded dough with lotus flowers, wrap the flowers and dough tightly with lotus leaves, and put them in the refrigerator for a while.”
“In this way, the dough can absorb the fragrance of the lotus, and after a second kneading, the entire dough will be infused with the fragrance of the lotus.”
“I see.”
“And you added an appropriate amount of sugar to the soup to enhance the umami flavor of this bowl of noodles with the sweetness of sugar.”
“It’s a very creative approach.”
“No matter the color, aroma or taste, it is perfect and impeccable.”
As the chief chef of Totsuki Resort, Gin Dojima’s comments have absolute say in the culinary world.
He said that the noodles made by Lin Han were perfect, which meant that Lin Han’s bowl of noodles was already at the level of a first-class chef!
After hearing Dojima Gin’s comments, everyone in Qingchuan Building had different expressions.
Zeng Fan, in particular, had previously added other ingredients that could enhance the flavor of the pickled pork with preserved vegetables into the soup.
However, he was criticized by Dojima Gin for nothing.
However, when faced with Lin Han who used sugar to enhance the flavor of the soup, Dojima Gin gave great affirmation and praise.
Isn’t this an obvious double standard!
Zeng Fan has been the head chef in Qingchuan Restaurant for five or six years, so naturally he has his own pride.
Even the boss Lin Qingchuan had to show him some courtesy.
But Lin Han has been suppressing his strength openly and covertly since he came in. How could he not mind!
Shibasaki Takuya had similar thoughts.
Although the taste of the noodle soup made by Lin Han made him feel a little eager to try it.
But based on his understanding of Lin Han’s cooking skills, Lin Han definitely couldn’t cook a better dish than Zeng Fan!
At that moment, Takuya Shibasaki even suspected that there was something wrong with Dojima Gin’s sense of taste.
Except for Zeng Fan and Shibasaki Takuya, Lin Qingchuan and others were all surprised.
“Mr. Dojima, the result of this review is…”
Lin Qingchuan asked tentatively.
Dojima Gin glanced at him, and this man who looked steady and never showed his emotions smiled, which was a rare occurrence.
“Congratulations, you passed.”
Although he knew about Totsuki Academy’s plan, he was not the kind of person who would lie or break promises.
Lin Han’s bowl of noodles really conquered his stomach.
Among all the noodles that Dojima Gin has enjoyed, there is no problem with Lin Han’s bowl of noodles being ranked among the top three!
“Very good!”
Naoto Nagasawa was the first to shout out in surprise. He rushed over and hugged Lin Han.
Lin Qingchuan also looked at his son with gratified eyes.
Zeng Fan and Shibasaki Takuya were watching from the side with gloomy faces.
“But I have another question. What is the name of this bowl of noodles?”
Dojima Gin looked at the chefs in Qingchuanlou who were celebrating as if they had survived a disaster, and asked Lin Han.
Lin Han gently broke free from Nagasawa Naoto, who was holding him and shaking him hard, and looked at Dojima Gindo.
“Originally, this bowl of noodles was called dragon beard noodles, but after I thought of adding the fragrance of lotus flowers, my inspiration for making this dish came from a woman with a graceful figure.”
“woman?”
Dojima Gin asked.
Lin Han nodded and continued.
“As the old saying goes, ‘There is a beautiful woman who lives in a secluded valley.’ The lotus also represents purity and elegance in China.”
“Therefore, I gave this bowl of dragon beard noodles another name, called peerless beauty.”
“A peerless beauty…”
Dojima Gin murmured the name, and the look in his slightly shining eyes as he looked at Lin Han seemed to have changed a little.
“How old are you now?”
Dojima Gin suddenly asked.
“I am already fifteen years old and I am in junior high school.”
Lin Han replied.
“Do you have any college you want to apply to, or what are your plans for the future?”
When Lin Qingchuan heard Dojima Gin ask this, his eyes lit up first.
It seems that what Dojima Gin said indicates his intention to let Lin Han go to Totsuki Academy to study!
【8】Invitation letter from Totsuki Academy! (8 more, please bookmark!) (Old version)
Anyone who regards being a chef as his life goal will surely yearn for Totsuki Academy.
But Totsuki Academy not only has extremely strict requirements on student qualifications.
More importantly, it is a prestigious aristocratic college.
For someone of low status, wanting to enter Totsuki Academy is simply a daydream.
Long before, Lin Qingchuan knew that his son wanted to go to Totsuki Academy to study cooking.
But at that time, everyone, including Lin Qingchuan, was not optimistic about Lin Han’s strength.
Zeng Fan even whispered this to himself.
He thought that Lin Han did not have the talent to be a chef!
But now, the chief chef of Totsuki Resort, Gin Dojima, former one of the Totsuki Ten.
He actually had the intention of extending an olive branch to Lin Han!
For Lin Qingchuan, who had previously only hoped that Qingchuan Building could pass the review smoothly, this was simply a pleasant surprise!
However, when Lin Qingchuan ignored his image as a “strict father” and tried desperately to signal him, Lin Han turned a blind eye.
“In the future? I want to be a Chinese cuisine chef and promote Chinese cuisine.”
Dojima Gin nodded and smiled.
“I believe in you. That day will come.”
Dojima Gin laughed.
[Ding——Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the task, popularity value +100, points +100. ]Compared to Dojima Gin’s affirmation, the system voice that finally sounded was what Lin Han wanted to hear.
That was all. Dojima Gin picked up his clothes, stood up, and politely said goodbye to Lin Qingchuan.
After everyone saw Dojima Gin off from Qingchuan Building, they immediately turned around and looked at Lin Han as if he were a monster.
“Hey, you’re looking at me like that. Is there something on my face?”
At this time, the effect of Lan Feihong’s card had expired, and Lin Han had returned to his original pure temperament.
There is no longer that kind of arrogant air that keeps people at a distance.
“Where on earth did you learn this skill, kid?”
Lin Qingchuan was the first to speak. Although his expression was serious, his shining eyes revealed his pride in his son.
“That’s right, I didn’t expect you to be so secretive, Ahan!”
Naosawa Naoto also smiled and put his arm around his shoulders and said.
“That’s right, Ahan. I didn’t expect you to be so powerful.”
Shibasaki Takuya spoke slowly with a smile.
His eyes flickered like a snake lurking in the dark.
Looking at Lin Han who was surrounded by the crowd, Zeng Fan stood aside with a gloomy face, saying nothing.
Lin Han naturally wouldn’t tell the truth, he just smiled.
“It’s nothing. I saw this dish in a book before and have been practicing it privately.”
Everyone nodded without suspecting anything.
I originally thought that this matter had come to an end.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Lin Han actually received an invitation to take the entrance exam from Totsuki Academy.
When the news came out, the entire Qingchuan Building was almost in an uproar.
As a commoner, if you want to enter Totsuki Academy, you need to have a stepping stone first – a letter of recommendation from someone recognized by Totsuki Academy.
The recommender was undoubtedly Dojima Gin, who had previously tasted the dragon beard noodles made by Lin Han.
“Ahan, what do you think?”
Looking at his son who didn’t seem to be very excited, Lin Qingchuan asked.
“Father, I want to give it a try.”
Lin Han looked at his father and said firmly.
Lin Qingchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“I believe in you, just give it a try.”
He patted his son on the shoulder.
As a father, you should naturally support your son’s dreams unconditionally.
Soon, it was the day of the entrance exam for Totsuki Academy.
Lin Han arrived at the academy on time.
The restaurant at home is right next to Totsuki Academy, and therefore, Lin Han was deeply impressed by the majestic mountain in the anime.
Standing in front of the iconic red gate of Totsuki Academy, Lin Han took a breath.
“Totsuki Academy, here I come.”
March is the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Lin Han walked into Totsuki Academy with a letter of recommendation and exam notice in his hands.
The cherry blossoms above my head are falling.
Everywhere I looked, except for the candidates who came to take the exam, the others were regular students wearing the Totsuki Academy uniform.
In the crowd, Lin Han also saw a familiar figure.
A boy with red hair and a black casual suit.
“Souma Yukihira.”
Lin Han narrowed his eyes and softly read out the other person’s name.
Soma Yukihira, the original protagonist of Food Wars!
I didn’t expect to meet him as soon as I arrived at Totsuki Academy.
Judging from the way he was dressed, he should be here to take the entrance exam just like me.
Soma Yukihira was rubbing his waist and mumbling something.
There is also a light gray footprint on the black casual suit.
It seems that he has received a “bad beating” from the evil forces of the aristocracy.
Lin Han smiled indifferently and walked towards the examination location.
At the same time, somewhere in the corridor of the academy.
A girl with short peach-purple hair and pretty face was holding a stack of papers and chasing the figure in front of her.
“Erina-sama, the entrance exam is about to begin…”
The blond figure running ahead said without even turning back.
“I know, but my mouth is full of that soup that makes me feel like I’m taking a bath with gorillas. It’s so disgusting.”
Even though I had rinsed my mouth, the psychological trauma caused by the smell was still horrible.
Kirierina said through gritted teeth.
“If the candidates can’t come up with dishes that satisfy me later, hehe——”
Kirie Rina said as she quickly threw a punch to the side.
Through the sound of the wind, it seemed as if the souls of the pillars next to it had been shattered.
As Kirierina’s secretary, Hisako Arato could only silently sympathize with the candidates in her heart.
After all, who would have thought that the examiner of this exam would be Miss Kiri Erina, who is known as the God’s Tongue.
Those candidates can probably only consider themselves unlucky.
[9] Common people! ? Nobleman! The test begins! (Please add this to your collection!) (Old version)
Totsuki Academy, the new student entrance examination room.
When Lin Han entered the examination room, there were already quite a few candidates waiting inside.
Most of them were wearing neatly ironed student uniforms and looked extremely confident.
It was as if he thought that there was absolutely no possibility of him being eliminated in the upcoming exam.
Lin Han, who knew the plot, laughed secretly in his heart.
Once they meet the examiner of this exam, these candidates will immediately discard their seemingly calm and elegant demeanor.
He ran out crying.
As for Lin Han who had just entered the examination room, these people also glanced at him.
They were just looking at him casually at first, but when they saw Lin Han’s handsome face, which was like that of a natural aristocrat.
He immediately couldn’t take his eyes off Lin Han’s face.
There were also candidates who were chatting further away and were quietly discussing Lin Han’s identity.
Some even seemed to be eager to come forward and start a conversation.
“Wow, wow, there are already so many people here.”
A sudden loud voice sounded at the door.
Except for Lin Han, all the candidates in the examination room frowned.
In an aristocratic academy like Totsuki Academy, someone actually made such a statement.
It’s just noise!
There was a hint of amusement in Lin Han’s eyes, and he looked towards the door.
I saw Soma Yukihira walking in carelessly while scratching the back of his head.
“Ah, this school is so big, the exam room is really hard to find. I almost got lost in the school.”
Soma Yukihira said with a smile.
Standing next to Lin Han, a blond boy widened his eyes and pointed at Soma Yukihira with his trembling hand.
“It’s you! How dare you, a commoner, come to take the entrance exam!”
“Ah, otherwise, why not come?”
Yukihira Soma said as a matter of course.
“What a joke!”
The blond boy looked at Soma Yukihira with anger and contempt.
“How can commoners like you be qualified to study in Totsuki Academy!”
“Huh? Civilians?”
Soma Yukihira was obviously very dissatisfied with the other party’s remarks.
“Is there anything that civilians can’t do? Are civilians the same as slaves?!”
Lin Han also recognized the boy’s identity at this time.
Nikaido Yoshiaki, in the original work, is the first person Soma Yukihira met when he arrived at Totsuki Academy.
He is just a cannon fodder who values ​​status and position but has no real talent or knowledge.
Even in the original work, Soma Yukihira has not taken any action yet.
Nikaidou Yoshiaki immediately fled under the overwhelming force of Kirierina.
However, at this moment, Nikaido Yoshiaki, who didn’t know what would happen next, had a very arrogant attitude.
“Of course. There is a huge difference between commoners and nobles!”
“Yeah?”
Soma Yukihira stared at Nikaido Yoshiaki with a dead fish look in his eyes.
Nikaido Yoshiaki said confidently, “Of course,” and pointed to Lin Han beside him.
“Can a kid who runs a small restaurant be compared to a kid who comes from a big business, like you and this young man!”
He had just observed Lin Han for a long time. Although he couldn’t tell from his school uniform which prestigious school in Japan Lin Han was a junior high school student at.
But judging from his aura and handsome appearance, Nikaido Yoshiaki was 100% sure.
This must be a young man from an aristocratic family whose status and position is more noble than anyone else present!
Compare Lin Han, who is as noble and handsome as a god, with Soshin Yukihira.
Nikaido Yoshiaki looked at Soma Yukihira with even more contempt.
“Look at yourself, and then look at this classmate. You can tell at a glance that he is from a famous family…”
“Excuse me.”
Lin Han interrupted Nikaido Yoshiaki lazily.
“Actually, my family also runs a small restaurant.”
Although the actual scale of Kiyokawa-ro is much larger than Soma Yukihira’s Yukihira Restaurant.
But obviously, they are still not as good as these “noble children” who are often claimed to be heirs to chaebols.
Lin Han’s words made Nikaidou Yoshiaki’s movements and voice seem to freeze.
Not only him, but even the candidates around him stared at Lin Han with wide eyes in surprise.
The entire space seemed to be sealed in a mysterious barrier, even the air was frozen.
“Restaurant?”
After a full minute, Nikaidou Yoshiaki, who seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue, spoke in a trembling voice.
“Yes, Qingchuanlou, a Chinese restaurant near Totsuki Academy. Everyone is welcome to come and taste it when you have time.”
Lin Han said with a smile.
Although it is just a faint smile, it is like a breeze in March, which makes people intoxicated by it.
Such a smile was actually shown by a commoner!
Nikaido Yoshiaki and many other candidates present were about to collapse.
According to Lin Han’s own admission, they looked down on the common people.
People should have felt disgusted by Lin Han’s civilian status.
But Lin Han’s smile and every gesture revealed his dignity and composure.
It also prevented them from saying a bad word towards this handsome face.
How abominable! I was born with such a pretty face!
And it was on a commoner!
“Hey, why aren’t you talking?”
Soma Yukihira, who was also amazed by Lin Han’s smile, came back to his senses and poked Nikaido Yoshiaki with a gloating look.
Lin Han personally admitted that they were both commoners, which made Soma Yukihira feel inexplicably happy.
Because of this, it seems as if this handsome boy is, to some extent, the same kind of person as me.
“Ahhh! Commoner! Don’t touch me with your dirty hands!”
Nikaido Yoshiaki, who was about to collapse, found that Soma Yukihira dared to touch him with his hands.
He immediately screamed and retreated.
However, a cold young female voice suddenly came from outside the examination room.
“What are you yelling for? What is needed in the examination room is silence!”
It was clearly a woman whose voice sounded very young, perhaps even about the same age as them.
However, this voice sounded like that of a princess who was above everyone else.
Full of dignity and majesty.
Everyone fell silent involuntarily and looked towards the door.
A young girl in a dark blue uniform and waist-length blonde hair walked in.
Although she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, she has a beautiful appearance.
A pair of eyes, like amethyst, bright and sparkling, and full of majesty.
The tight-fitting uniform highlights the beautiful curves.
Such a beautiful girl with a strong aura can be spotted at a glance even in a crowd.
Among the candidates, some soon began to chatter their teeth as they recognized the girl’s identity.
“God, God’s Tongue… This time the examiner is actually God’s Tongue!”
【10】The Tongue of God? So what! (Please add this to your collection and give me flowers!) (Old version)
Hearing the trembling voices of the candidates around her, Erina Nakiri sneered disdainfully in her heart.
Having grown up like a star, she has long been accustomed to the admiring gazes of outsiders.
Including their fear of their own divine tongue.
Ignoring the frightened looks of these people, Erina Nakiri turned to look at her secretary, Hisako Arato.
“Where is the notice from the Entrance Examination Department?”
When he heard Erina Nakiri’s question, he was still secretly looking at her with an infatuated look.
Arato Hisako, looking at the lady whom she admired, Nakiri, suddenly returned to her capable appearance.
“Yes, Erina-sama, I’ll read it right away.”
She took out a piece of paper.
“First, everyone is divided into groups of 10 based on their application materials for a group interview.”
“After that, we will have a three-course cooking test.”
“Those who pass will then…”
In the huge examination room, the only sound that could be heard was the crisp sound of Xin Hu Feisha’s feet.
When she was about to continue reading, Miss Nakiri beside her interrupted her.
“boring.”
This young girl with blonde hair and purple eyes exudes a noble aura.
He raised his finger and placed it under his chin, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
It made her look like a little devil with bad intentions, thinking of how to play a prank.
“By the way, move the cooking table here.”
Everyone in Totsuki Academy obeyed Erina Nakiri’s requests.
After hearing her order, someone immediately responded and pushed the cooking table full of ingredients to the examination room on a cart.
Not only the candidates, but even Hisako Arato looked at Erina Nakiri with surprised eyes.
I wonder what this young lady with a somewhat willful and casual temper will do.
Only Lin Han knew the intention of this young lady, so he mingled with the crowd.
He just watched with a calm face as Erina Nakiri walked to the cooking counter, as if she was looking for something on the counter.
Then she picked up an oval white object with a pointed top and a round bottom and showed it to everyone.
“Let’s use this as the ingredient for today’s cooking.”
The candidates opened their eyes wide and looked at the object.
“egg?”
“Yes, the topic of today’s test is to make a dish using eggs.”
Erina Nakiri looked at the candidates in front of her.
“Only those who can cook dishes that please my tongue can pass the entrance exam to Totsuki Academy.”
“In addition, all candidates… from now on, within one minute, you are allowed to give up and give up this exam.”
Erina Nakiri raised her head and gave a devilish smile.
Even in her sparkling purple eyes, there was a flash of unusually evil light.
“One minute…abstain…”
The examinees were mumbling something to themselves, and suddenly, as if they had gone mad, they began screaming and ran madly towards the door!
“Wow, what’s going on?”
Standing in the crowd, Soma Yukihira was pushed left and right by the candidates who were fleeing in panic.
Lin Han, who had known that this scene would happen, stood calmly aside, avoiding the crowd.
Soma Yukihira, who hadn’t figured out what was going on, grabbed a candidate and tried to find out what was going on.
Unfortunately, it was Yoshiaki Nikaido, who had previously had an argument with Soma Yukihira.
“Hey, why are you running?”
“You…you really don’t know anything? That’s…that’s Erina Nakiri!”
Nikaido Yoshiaki threw away the elegant demeanor of a rich young man and tried desperately to escape from Yukihira Soma’s hands.
“GoodTongue is the best divine tongue in the human race!”
“Her comments will be widely circulated in the industry. If she is labeled as having no talent…”
“My life as a chef is over!”
With tears on the verge of bursting out of his eyes, Nikaido Yoshiaki cried out in pain, then struggled to break free from Yukihira Soma and ran outside.
Soma Yukihira seemed a little confused. He scratched his head and was about to say something.
“Hey, so you two are the only ones left preparing to take the exam?”
I originally thought that all the candidates in the examination room would run away, but unexpectedly there were still two “fearless” ones left.
Erina Nakiri folded her arms and looked at them.
Of course, the main focus is still on Lin Han.
Compared to Soma Yukihira, Lin Han’s appearance is indeed outstanding.
Even Erina Nakiri, who had been in contact with countless upper-class people since childhood, had never seen anyone who could surpass Lin Han in appearance.
Moreover, even when he heard about his deeds from other people, he remained calm.
I don’t know if it’s because my mental strength is too strong or if I simply don’t realize the meaning behind these words.
In comparison, the only eye-catching feature of Soma Yukihira, the protagonist of the original work, is his red hair.
Lin Han nodded, not paying attention to the look Erina Nakiri gave him.
“My name is Lin Han.”
“My name is Yukihira Soma.”
Erina Nakiri did not have any deep impression of these two surnames.
She signaled with her eyes to Arata Hisako beside her to check the information of the two people.
As Erina Nakiri’s right-hand man, Hisako Arato naturally submitted the two’s registration forms as soon as possible.
“So they are two ignorant common people.”
After looking at the identity information of the two people, Erina Nakiri showed a disdainful expression.
“No wonder you dare to stay and accept my assessment. Hey, you should know that if you can’t make dishes that satisfy me…”
“Don’t talk about common people or not. Don’t judge others before you know the real situation.”
Unexpectedly, Lin Han spoke first and interrupted her coldly.
“There are always people who are better than you. If you stick to your old ways, people will think you are short-sighted.”
Erina Nakiri almost choked on the spot.
“What? How dare you say that to Erina-sama…”
Niito Hisako was also shocked that for the first time someone dared to speak to Erina Nakiri in such a disrespectful tone.
She was about to scold him but was interrupted by Erina Nakiri with a wave of her hand.
“In that case, then you should show off your skills and start the competition.”
After giving Lin Han a cold look, Erina Nakiri walked aside and signaled the two to start the competition.
Because of Lin Han’s previous behavior of fanning the flames, Soma Yukihira on the side didn’t even get a glance from him.
Lin Han walked to the cooking table but did not start cooking immediately.
Instead, he entered the mall in the Strongest God of Cookery system.
Click into the lottery interface, and under the last low-level lottery option, there is a line of small words: 100 points required.
It happens to be the number of points Lin Han has now.
Without hesitation, Lin Han chose the lottery.
I saw a flash of light.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully drawing the S-level card – Jie Lu! ]【11】Chinese cuisine! Card: Xielu the Steel Stick! (Please add it to your collection!) (Old version)
【Card Character: Jie Lu】
[Kitchenware: Steel stick, Spiritual storage][Special dishes: Golden Ratio Shaomai, Golden Smile]“Great, just what I needed.”
Faced with an exam with eggs as the theme, Lin Han was lucky enough to draw Jie Lu’s card.
Among the dishes made by Jie Lu, the golden ratio steamed buns happen to be made with eggs as an ingredient.
After drawing Jie Lu’s card, Lin Han chose fusion without hesitation.
The card shattered instantly, turning into a golden light invisible to ordinary people and merging into Lin Han’s body.
With each breath, Lin Han’s temperament seemed to have changed a little.
“Hey, you’ve been standing there for so long, haven’t you decided what to cook yet?”
Erina Nakiri, who was standing aside with her arms folded, saw Lin Han standing in front of the stove for a long time without moving.
On the other hand, Soma Yukihira had quickly thought of the dish he wanted to cook and started working at high speed.
Erina Nakiri couldn’t help but mock Lin Han.
“It’s so noisy.”
Unexpectedly, Lin Han only responded to her with this sentence.
There was even a hint of impatience in his tone.
“A young lady like you should just stand aside and wait for the food to be served.”
After hearing Lin Han’s words, Erina Nakiri was even more furious.
When had anyone dared to speak to her like that?
“Just wait, a commoner like you, if you can’t cook dishes that satisfy me, then your career as a chef will be over…”
Erina Nakiri said secretly in her heart.
Although I don’t know why Lin Han suddenly changed his indifferent attitude and became arrogant and conceited.
But Erina Nakiri, who was repeatedly contradicted by him, had already made up her mind.
No matter how delicious the food this guy cooks.
I must say it tastes bad too!
Such an arrogant and etiquette-ignoring commoner actually wants to enter Totsuki Academy?
It’s just wishful thinking!
With a cold snort, Erina Nakiri deliberately bypassed Lin Han who was selecting ingredients and came to Soma Yukihira’s cooking table.
Soma Yukihira had already added food to the pot and was cooking something while chopping green onions on the chopping board next to him.
“So fast, so neat…”
When Arata Hisako saw how he cut vegetables, she couldn’t help but admire him in a low voice.
The emerald green onions were cut into evenly sized pieces by Soma Yukihira.
Erina Nakiri, who was picky about taste but also good at knife skills, couldn’t help but nod secretly when she saw this.
Such a neat technique would also look good in front of chefs who are famous for their knife skills.
Lin Han’s previous action that attracted hatred made Erina Nakiri feel much less resentful towards Soma Yukihira, who was also a commoner.
At least Erina Nakiri could barely make an objective evaluation of Soma Yukihira’s cooking skills.
Then, Soma Yukihira opened the lid of a pot where food was cooking.
A rich fragrance hits you in the face.
“It smells so good.”
While exclaiming in admiration, Niito Hisako took a step forward and discovered that Yukihira Souma was actually making some soup.
He took out a small tasting plate, took a bite, and seemed to find the taste to his liking.
So he nodded again and started the next step of cooking.
At the same time, there were movements from Lin Han’s side.
Compared to Soma Yukihira’s, the performance is crisp and neat, like that of a percussion instrument.
Lin Han’s side didn’t sound very calm.
From time to time, there were even some rough sounds of heavy objects hitting each other.
Erina Nakiri frowned and walked forward to see what was going on.
I saw Lin Han kneading dough.
He originally had a slender figure and a handsome face.
But at this moment, he seemed to be possessed by a rude and burly man, beating the dough continuously.
Every blow would cause the cooking table, which served as a chopping board, to emit a dull knocking sound.
“How rude…”
Hisako Arato frowned, but Erina Nakiri saw something.
Lin Han’s movements of beating the dough seemed random, however, with every hit he made.
The dough becomes smooth and elastic at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Erina Nakiri, who has extensive cooking experience, can be sure that the dough made by beating it in this way will be good.
It will definitely give your teeth a rich, elastic bite!
Even the mere thought of it made her teeth itch.
But soon, Erina Nakiri came to her senses and secretly blamed herself.
“Nothing, just a piece of dough!”
After beating the dough, Lin Han put it aside and prepared his ingredients.
Shrimp, vegetables, pork, and the theme of this dish – eggs.
After preparing the pork and vegetables, Lin Han began to cut the vegetables.
Originally, Erina Nakiri already thought that Soma Yukihira’s way of cutting vegetables was neat and quick enough.
Unexpectedly, Lin Han’s vegetable cutting skills shocked them even more!
I saw him holding the ingredients steadily with one hand and holding a cooking knife with the other.
With a flick of the knife, the ingredients were cut into small pieces of even size.
Lin Han’s movements were so fast that he couldn’t even blink!
It’s almost quick enough to show an afterimage!
What’s even more rare is that the pork is not too soft after thawing.
But it also made it somewhat difficult for Lin Han to cut the meat.
But Lin Han was not affected at all.
The knife flashed by, and the pork was chopped into even-sized cubes that were much smaller than the size of a little finger.
Even though Erina Nakiri was reluctant, she had to admit it.
In terms of knife skills and dough kneading techniques alone, Lin Han is better than most of the chefs and pastry chefs she has ever seen!
According to previous information, Lin Han came from a Chinese restaurant.
So, what he was going to make should be some Chinese cuisine.
【12】Rice with raw egg? What I made is the golden ratio siu mai! (Please save it!) (Old version)
“Are you planning on making some pastry?”
After looking for a long time, Erina Nakiri couldn’t help but ask.
“Whether it’s buns or dumplings, I’ve never seen this kind of filling combination before.”
Eggs, vegetables, shrimp, pork.
All these ingredients are very common in daily life.
But Erina Nakiri had never seen them mixed together as fillings.
She couldn’t help but remind Lin Han if he really intended to do this.
It could get really weird.
But Erina Nakiri didn’t expect that her kind reminder, which she had finally come up with, would be effective.
Lin Han didn’t appreciate it at all.
“You think too much. What I want to make is not just buns and dumplings.”
“The cuisine of China is extensive and profound, and there are countless pastries that require fillings.”
“Just watch carefully.”
The cold and arrogant voice made Erina Nakiri regain some good impression of Lin Han because of his knife skills.
Clear again.
A guy with nothing to show for himself except his face!
No longer looking at Lin Han’s cooking, Erina Nakiri turned back to Soma Yukihira.
But I have to say, after seeing Guo Linhan’s knife skills so fast that they seemed like an afterimage.
The seemingly neat and efficient techniques of Soma Yukihira in front of her also became a little dull in the eyes of Erina Nakiri.
After waiting for a while, Soma Yukihira was the first to make his own dish.
“Sorry for the wait! Please enjoy the raw egg rice!”
“…”
Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato were both looking at the golden raw egg rice in front of them.
I couldn’t speak for a long time.
“Huh? Why aren’t you talking?”
Soma Yukihira wrapped the cloth on his head around his wrists again.
“Are you just trying to fool us?”
He had endured Lin Han’s ridicule too many times before, and he also felt like he was being fooled by Soma Yukihira.
The degree to which Erina Nakiri was angry was even greater than in the original plot.
Raw egg rice is one of the most common dishes in Japanese cuisine.
Although cooking emphasizes returning to basics, the simpler the dish, the more you can see the chef’s true skills.
But the bowl of raw egg rice in front of me looks good.
But for Erina Nakiri, who had seen many kinds of food, it was just mediocre.
For a moment, Erina Nakiri felt cheated.
In addition, Lin Han had just confronted him one after another.
Erina Nakiri, who had always looked down on these common people, just wanted to turn around and leave.
Of course, the plot here still follows the original story.
When Soma Yukihira adds the jelly-like gelatinous substance solidified from the gelatinous chicken soup into the raw egg rice.
Erina Nakiri was attracted by Soma Yukihira’s “Transformation Raw Egg Rice” and took a bite with a reluctant look.
Sure enough, after eating the transformation raw egg rice, Erina Nakiri was amazed!
“The soup is rich and rich with the essence of chicken, and it is smooth and refreshing.”
“It perfectly complements the soft and fluffy taste of the eggs!”
“Every time you take a bite, the soft and tender soup will overflow into your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste!”
Listening to Erina Nakiri’s comments, Hisako Arato opened her eyes wide.
She rarely heard Erina Nakiri praise someone’s cooking like this.
There is no doubt that Soma Yukihira, who was recognized by Erina Nakiri, successfully passed the test.
“So what’s next…”
With her tongue still savoring the taste of Soma Yukihira’s cooking, Erina Nakiri looked towards the cooking table on the other side.
She really wanted to ask Lin Han how long it would take for his dish to be ready.
But her intuition told her that if she asked, she would be rebuffed just like before.
“Hmph, when the time comes, we can just say it tastes bad and judge him as unqualified.”
Erina Nakiri thought proudly in her heart.
Just as she was thinking about it, Lin Han opened the steamer and took out a small steamer from it.
Hot mist rose up in the shape of dragons, dancing and circling around the steamer.
There is also a faint fragrance coming from inside.
“It smells so good!”
Soma Yukihira exclaimed!
“Do you have a dog’s nose? It’s so sharp?”
Erina Nakiri said unhappily.
Although she also smelled the fragrance from the steamer, Erina Nakiri had already made up her mind to judge Lin Han as unqualified.
Naturally, it is impossible to be sure of any aspect of the cooking Lin Han made.
But even though she said that, her feet had already unconsciously moved towards Lin Han’s cooking table.
“Have you finished making your dish? Then show it to me.”
Nakiri Erina said, trying her best to appear proud.
“Don’t worry, this dish will definitely not disappoint you.”
Lin Han still looked arrogant, which made Erina Nakiri snort coldly.
“What I make is the king of siomai in Chinese cuisine – golden ratio siomai!”
After Lin Han finished speaking, he opened the lid of the steamer.
“Wow!”
Erina Nakiri, Soma Yukihira and others who were gathered around the cooking table felt a hot and moist mist blowing towards them.
At the same time, the fresh and fragrant smell is even stronger than before!
When the smoke cleared, Erina Nakiri and others looked into the cage.
In the steamer, which was only about a foot in size, there were a few exquisite and small steamed buns that seemed as if they could be eaten in one bite.
“These Shaomai…”
As a connoisseur of various famous restaurants, Erina Nakiri has naturally tried this Chinese dish called “Shaomai”.
But this kind of steamed buns made by Lin Han was the first time that Erina Nakiri had seen it!
[13] God’s Proportion Shaomai! Erina’s Excitement! (3 more, please bookmark!) (Old version)
I saw the golden dough formed into four petal shapes, each about half the size of my palm.
The three petals clustered together on the top are slightly smaller, while the one at the bottom is slightly larger.
Each petal contains a petal of filling.
After being steamed at just the right high temperature, it exudes a bright luster.
The fillings in the three small petals are pink, green and yellow from left to right.
The filling in the largest petal at the bottom is brown in color like sauce.
It was completely different from any shumai that Erina Nakiri had seen before.
“This is the golden ratio siomai?”
Erina Nakiri looked at the tempting looking and fragrant siomai with a surprised expression.
“But in order to achieve a balance in flavor, shouldn’t the fillings be placed in equal proportions?”
Erina Nakiri looked at the fillings of different sizes and couldn’t help but ask.
“How can those ordinary siomai be compared with my golden ratio siomai?”
Lin Han said coldly.
Although at this moment he did not look as arrogant and domineering as he did before when he was cooking.
But there is also a temperament that is completely different from Erina Nakiri’s nobility, but equally arrogant.
Erina Nakiri snorted coldly.
“arrogant.”
“You’ll know if you’re arrogant after trying it.”
I was really surprised by the aroma of the golden ratio siomai, as well as the unexpected shape and design.
Erina Nakiri picked up the chopsticks and slowly reached for the golden ratio siomai in the steamer.
As soon as the chopsticks touched the golden skin of the siomai, Erina Nakiri opened her eyes wide in surprise.
“This resilience… I can feel the dough bouncing with the chopsticks, as if it has life, even with just a light touch!”
Although she had just seen Lin Han’s dough kneading technique, Erina Nakiri also guessed that the dough would be very chewy.
But the elasticity that could be felt just with chopsticks still shocked Erina Nakiri!
“It’s just flour, no matter how good the technique is.”
“It can’t create this kind of elasticity either. Did you add something else to the flour?”
Erina Nakiri asked Lin Han.
Lin Han curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
“You are not stupid, that’s right, I added an appropriate amount of tapioca flour to the flour to increase the elasticity of the dough.”
As a dish in Chinese Cooking Boy, it is also a very classic delicacy.
The original golden ratio of siu mai should be based on the ratio of the fillings to highlight its deliciousness.
Although the dough has a chewy texture, it is tasteless and does not feel particularly good.
After Lin Han used Jie Lu’s card and possessed Jie Lu’s cooking skills.
Improvements were made on the original basis.
First of all, in order to make the dough of the siomai more elastic, he added an appropriate amount of tapioca flour to the flour.
Then, through the seemingly rough but just right kneading technique, the dough becomes more refreshing and chewy.
At the same time, the steamed dough will have a slightly sweeter taste than the original tasteless one.
The dough made in this way not only makes the taste of the siomai richer, but also does not overshadow the flavor of the dish.
At this time, the temperature of the freshly steamed dumplings gradually cools down, which is just the right temperature for eating.
“No matter what, just give him a failing grade.”
Erina Nakiri thought as she couldn’t wait to put the shumai into her mouth.
Lin Han looked at Erina Nakiri, who was closing her eyes and slowly refusing to taste the golden ratio dumplings he made.
A barely perceptible smile appeared quietly.
Not only the crust, Lin Han also secretly made changes to the filling.
After Lin Han’s improvement, this basket of siomai should not be called golden ratio siomai.
But it’s God’s golden ratio siomai!
Erina Nakiri gave comments while tasting the food.
“The shrimps ground into fine shrimp paste still retain their original elasticity, and their umami taste is further stimulated.”
“Fresh vegetables, after being steamed at high temperature, still retain their crispness and tenderness.”
“The egg yolk is soft and sweet, and the soup is richer and more fragrant than the raw egg rice just now.”
“Finally, the ham blended with the pork cubes creates a smooth and refreshing taste that is not greasy…”
Completely intoxicated by the deliciousness of the filling, Erina Nakiri thought this was the end.
I didn’t expect the next second.
“Hmm…this taste!”
As if she tasted something, Erina Nakiri opened her eyes wide in surprise.
I couldn’t come back to my senses for a long time!
“Erina-sama, what happened?”
Hisako Arato looked at Erina Nakiri in surprise.
But the other party did not answer her, but stared at the steamer in front of him.
It was as if he was trying to see through the dumplings in front of him with his eyes.
Then, Erina Nakiri, who was originally planning to take only a symbolic bite, immediately commented that it was “unpalatable”.
I couldn’t help but pick up the chopsticks, picked up another steamed dumpling and put it in my mouth to chew.
This time, Erina Nakiri, who was prepared for the mystery in the shumai, finally lived up to her reputation as the God’s Tongue.
“Soup! It’s soup!”
She looked at Lin Han.
“Before mixing the filling, you add different sizes of solidified soup jelly to each portion of filling.”
“When the siu mai is cooked through, the jelly melts, but is also firmly wrapped in the dense fillings.”
When the tasters bite through the skin and the outermost layer of filling, the soup trapped in the filling will overflow into their mouths.
It produces a rich aroma like bursting liquid!
Under the mixing effect of the soup, the three flavors of dough, filling and soup are perfectly blended together.
It creates an indescribable sweet and fragrant taste!
The sweetness in the elastic dough is a flavor enhancer that sweeps away everything.
The umami flavor of the soup and fillings is fully brought out!
“At this moment, I feel like I am bathing in a hot spring in the forest, listening to the sound of the breeze blowing through the grass.”
Completely immersed in the deliciousness of the golden ratio shumai, Erina Nakiri could hardly think of anything else.
Soma Yukihira and Hisako Arato also looked at her in shock.
“Erina-sama, Erina-sama…”
Hisako Arato called out to Erina Nakiri in a low voice.
“So, what should we do about this exam?”
She looked at Erina Nakiri’s expression before, and it seemed like she wanted to eat Lin Han alive.
But now she praised the dishes made by Lin Han.
So much so that Arata Hisako couldn’t help but remind her.
Nakiri Erina also reacted.
Reason told her that she shouldn’t let him pass, but emotion…
After struggling for a while, Erina Nakiri finally gritted her teeth and spoke.
“I declare that the results of this assessment for Lin Han and Yukihira Soma are… passed!”
There’s nothing we can do about it, the siomai made by that guy are just so delicious.
【14】I am not targeting anyone on purpose. Everyone here is…! ? (Please save this post!) (Old version)
[Ding——The host successfully completed the mission and passed the entrance examination of Yuanyue Academy. 】
[Rewards: 100 popularity points, 100 points. ]Compared to Erina Nakiri’s affirmation, the cold and lackluster electronic sound made Lin Han more excited.
This task was when Lin Han received the admission notice from Totsuki Academy.
The system is released in consciousness.
[Host, please continue to complete the main task: move into the Pole Star Dormitory. ][This task will reward: 100 points of popularity, 100 points of points. ]“Polaris Dormitory, the only boarding place in Totsuki Academy?”
Lin Han was thinking silently in his heart.
In fact, most students in Totsuki Academy are day students, and there are very few boarding students.
Even Lin Han could live in the house next to the restaurant at Totsuki Academy if he wanted.
However, Lin Han, who decided to study at Totsuki Academy this time, originally planned to live in Polaris Dormitory.
The task issued by the system was exactly what he wanted.
“If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now.”
Lin Han still maintained the madness that Jie Lu had. He nodded coldly at Erina Nakiri and left.
“How dare this person be so arrogant and unreasonable to Lady Erina…”
The low complaints of Xinhu Hisako could be vaguely heard from behind.
There was also a burst of hurried footsteps.
“Hello, the person in front, your name is Lin Han, right? Please wait a moment.”
Lin Han stopped and turned back to look indifferently at the person who was running towards him.
The person who came was Soma Yukihira.
At this moment he looked at Lin Han with sparkling eyes.
It was like seeing a rare opponent worth making friends with.
“Hello, my name is Soma Yukihira.”
He extended his hand to Lin Han carelessly.
“We will probably be classmates in the future. I hope that by then, I will have the opportunity to compete with you in cooking skills!”
If it were someone else, they would probably immediately regard Soma Yukihira’s words as a provocation.
But Lin Han knew that Soma Yukihira’s personality was natural and brainless.
He also often exchanges cooking skills with his father, Yukihira Joichiro.
Therefore, in Soshin Yukihira’s heart, the only person who can compete with him in cooking skills is the one he admires from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Han nodded and extended his hand to Soma Yukihira.
“Although I’m glad to meet you, if you want to surpass me in cooking skills, even if you work hard for hundreds of years, it will be useless.”
There is a strong self-confidence in the light tone.
It even makes people believe that what he said is the truth.
No matter how conceited Yukihira Souma was, he was still shocked by the calm and firm confidence in Lin Han’s tone.
“Just wait, one day, I will let you see my real cooking skills.”
Soma Yukihira clenched his fists and said with full fighting spirit.
Lin Han just nodded and turned to leave.
And on the second day, two commoner candidates who took part in the entrance examination for the Totsuki Academy High School successfully passed the Divine Tongue test.
The news soon spread throughout Totsuki Academy.
“How could these two commoner candidates pass the test of the Tongue of God? Who are they?”
“It is said that one of the candidates, Lin Han, was recommended by Mr. Dojima and was qualified to participate in the exam.”
“I was able to get the recommendation of Mr. Dojima, the leader of the top ten? This is something that many people would never dare to think about!”
“Lin Han? This name doesn’t sound like a Japanese name.”
“I heard he’s of Chinese descent, so he should be good at Chinese cuisine.”
“I see. Humph, what’s the point of only knowing Chinese cuisine? Can you compare with us, students who have been exposed to cuisines from all over the world since childhood?”
With this in mind, the students of Totsuki Academy did not know the detailed process of the exam.
My impression of Lin Han is that of a student who is “good at Chinese cuisine.”
In their opinion, Lin Han was only proficient in some Chinese cuisine.
This allowed him to perform some new and refreshing moves in front of God’s Tongue and Dojima Gin.
Apart from this advantage, Lin Han’s cooking skills might not be that good.
As a result, the discussion about Lin Han gradually faded.
It was not until the first day of school that Lin Han, as a representative of the freshmen, caused a sensation in the school with his speech at the ceremony.
“Hey, did you hear about the freshman who made those outrageous remarks at the opening ceremony?”
“Oh, I see. It’s the freshman representative named Lin Han, right?”
For a moment, no matter where you went in the academy, you seemed to be able to hear discussions about Lin Han.
“Hey, that’s him. I heard that this guy made some outrageous remarks at the opening ceremony.”
“Yes, yes, yes, what’s that? To me, Totsuki Academy is just a stepping stone.'”
“And there’s also something like ‘Those so-called chefs who have never even entertained guests before, it’s just a pipe dream to think they can beat me’.”
“Hey, isn’t the most arrogant thing the sentence ‘Now that I’m here, I will definitely be above all of you’?”
“Damn it, you think you can surpass everyone just by getting the approval of the Tongue of God? How arrogant!”
For a time, these “elite chefs” who were admitted to Totsuki Academy and were extremely confident in their cooking skills were very dissatisfied with Lin Han.
Even though they all think that their cooking skills are better than most people.
But I have never met such an arrogant boy!
We must give him a taste of pain!
Let him know that Totsuki Academy is not a place where anyone can easily gain a foothold.
Just when everyone was gearing up to think about how to take revenge on Lin Han.
Lin Han had already carried his luggage and set out for Polaris Dormitory.
【15】Blushing Tadokoro Megumi! (1st update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“Polaris Dormitory is indeed farther than I thought.”
Lin Han looked at the map in his hand and felt a little helpless.
Totsuki Academy, as expected, includes the entire mountain as its campus.
Nearly two hours had passed from the time Lin Han completed the admission procedures to the time he went to Polaris Dormitory.
But according to the reference on the map, this is where Lin Han is at this moment.
It is still nearly three thousand meters away from Polaris Dormitory!
No wonder these students of Totsuki Academy would rather go to school as a day student than live in the boarding school.
Except for those students who have to leave their hometown for their studies.
The sun was gradually setting, and the blood-red light was slowly being swallowed up by the distant horizon.
Lin Han’s stomach also made a rumbling sound.
He gave a subtle smile.
“But this academy is really terrible. It’s such a big place, but there’s not even a campus bus.”
Lin Han murmured.
“ah!”
Suddenly, a cry like that of a frightened little rabbit came from beside me.
Lin Han turned his head and saw a graceful girl wearing the Totsuki Academy High School uniform.
He was holding a book to cover the lower half of his face and looking at Lin Han with uncertainty.
Her long dark blue hair was braided into two rustic pigtails, hanging in front of her chest.
He wore a pair of round-framed glasses on his nose, and the golden pupils behind the lenses showed fear.
“What should I do? I actually met this ‘legendary freshman’!”
This is what Tanaka Kei was thinking.
“Excuse me……”
Lin Han narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Tanosuke Hui, which startled the latter.
“Are you also a boarder at Polaris Dormitory?”
“Yes…No! Uh…Yes.”
With repeated negative answers, Tansho Kei seemed to be struggling with her conscience.
She was already extremely nervous around strangers, and now she met the “number one celebrity” in the academy these days.
It’s more like encountering a flood or a beast.
However, what she didn’t expect was that every word she said at the opening ceremony.
The new students are dancing on the minds of the students of Totsuki Academy.
He actually gave her an approachable smile.
“Excuse me, can I go with you? This is my first time there, and I’m not familiar with the boarding system at Pole Star Dormitory.”
Tansho Kei felt that she must have been charmed by that beautiful smile.
When she came to her senses, she had already talked a lot about Polaris Dormitory with Lin Han on the way!
“Polaris Dormitory is the only boarding facility in Totsuki Academy, but because there are so few boarders, few people know about it.”
“But many years ago, the Polar Star Dormitory was still very powerful, and many people became one of the top ten every year.”
“That time could be said to be the golden age of Polaris Dormitory!”
When it comes to the Totsuki Academy, everyone knows the Totsuki Ten Elites, and there is Megumi Tadokoro who is always so introverted that she can’t speak in front of strangers.
He also talked incessantly.
“The Ten Greatest Men of Totsuki, do they mean the ten most outstanding people in Totsuki Academy?”
Lin Han listened and asked questions.
“That’s right.”
Tansho Kei nodded repeatedly, and then her face became a little gloomy again.
“But now the Polaris Dormitory has begun to decline. Apart from Isshiki-senpai, there hasn’t been anyone there for a long time…ah, I’m getting off topic.”
She turned and looked at Lin Han.
“Are you planning to stay at the Pole Star Dormitory?”
After some communication, Tansho Hui found that Lin Han was not as arrogant, rude, or even scary as she had imagined.
There is even a sense of intimacy that makes people relax unconsciously.
So much so that I could speak fluently.
“Pole Star Dormitory is now managed by Madam Wenxu. If you want to enter the Pole Star Dormitory, you need to pass Madam Wenxu’s test.”
“The test is to do questions?”
Lin Han pretended to understand nothing.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Megumi Tadokoro looks weak and helpless now.
In fact, she is a potential stock and she has a place as one of the top ten in the future.
Lin Han also had some appreciation for this original character.
“Of course not. At Totsuki Academy, all problems can be solved with food.”
Said Tanomo Megumi.
“Every new student who wants to live in the Pole Star Dormitory needs to cook a dish that can satisfy Mrs. Wenxu.”
“I see. It’s very simple.”
Lin Han said in a nonchalant and relaxed tone.
Hearing this, Tanosuke Kei was very envious.
After all, she is not from a prominent family.
Megumi Tadokoro was born in a restaurant in a port city. Carrying the expectations and entrustment of her family, she came to Totsuki Academy to study.
But because of her timid personality, she would become so nervous that she could not speak after communicating with others.
Because of this personality, his performance is very unstable when cooking.
In the entrance exam for junior high school students at Totsuki Academy, Megumi Tadokoro barely passed as the last person to pass.
Become a high school student at Totsuki Academy.
She is extremely unconfident in her own abilities, although she is well aware that personality factors also play a role.
But this situation cannot be changed anyway.
Looking at Lin Han who seemed calm and determined beside her, Tanosuke Hui felt in her heart.
I actually began to envy Lin Han’s personality.
Be it arrogant or confident.
It would be nice if I could not be nervous in front of people.
Gradually, the outline of Polaris Dormitory appeared under the completely dark sky in the distance.
Black outlines, sporadic lights, and a silent atmosphere.
This makes Polaris Dormitory seem to have a strange and gloomy atmosphere.
【16】Pole Star! Mrs. Wenxu’s Test! (Please add it to your collection!) (Old version)
“The Polaris Dormitory just looks a little strange, but it’s actually quite normal inside.”
I saw Lin Han looking in the direction of Polaris Dormitory with a thoughtful look on his face.
Tanomo Kei thought that he was frightened away by the gloomy atmosphere of the house just like she was at the beginning.
However, after saying this, Tanosuke Hui secretly complained in her heart.
In fact, the people inside are not very normal either.
Lin Han smiled and said nothing.
When I arrived at the door of Jixing Dormitory, a chill came out from the door, as if no one had been here for a long time.
As the door was pushed, it made a heavy groaning sound.
The interior decoration is European in style, and a deep purple light shines through the windows.
Makes the dim interior look even more eerie.
Then a strange animal cry suddenly sounded, echoing in the huge space where no one was except Lin Han and Tansho Kei.
Amid the noisy sounds, there were the crows of chickens, the hollers of geese, and even the cries of deer.
Then, a black mist suddenly emerged from the second floor and rushed towards them like a living creature.
Then, a tremor that shook the entire Polar Star Dormitory occurred beneath their feet.
Even though she had to experience this once a day, Megumi Tadokoro couldn’t help but scream.
At the same time, an old and majestic voice came from the megaphone near the wall.
“Room 116! You are not allowed to keep animals in the room! If you do that again, I will skin you alive!”
“And Room 208, you’ve taken over an empty room as a smokehouse without permission! Do you want me to make you into a smokehouse too?”
“And Room 205, if you make a hole in the floor of your room, I will make a hole in your stomach too!”
As the old female voice continued to speak, apologies such as “I’m sorry” were heard from various places in Polaris Dormitory from time to time.
“Wow, Mrs. Wenxu is still so scary…”
Tadokoro Kei said in a low voice.
“Mrs. Wenxu, is she the manager of Polar Star Dormitory?”
Just after Lin Han asked this question.
“What do you want from me?”
The female voice that was heard on the loudspeaker a moment ago suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.
“Waaaaaaa…”
This time, Tansho Kei really screamed.
Lin Han turned around and saw an old woman with gray hair that looked like a blooming sunflower standing behind them with her hands on her hips.
“Tadokoro Megumi, if you make any noise in Polaris Dormitory again, I’ll tape your mouth shut!”
“Hello, I’m so sorry!”
Lin Han guessed that this old lady should be the person in charge of Polaris Dormitory, Mrs. Wen Xu.
Mrs. Wenxu looked at Lin Han.
“You are the new student who is going to move in, Lin Han, right?”
Mrs. Wenxu stood with her hands on her hips and smiled.
She seemed to be emitting a faint purple-black aura.
“I’m Fumihiro Ohmido, the roommate of Polaris Dormitory. From now on, you can call me ‘Maria of Polaris’, Mrs. Fumihiro.”
“…Ahem, Mrs. Wenxu, I am indeed here to stay.”
Lin Han coughed lightly and quietly avoided the name that Mrs. Wen Xu mentioned.
“So, what ingredients did you prepare?”
“Ingredients, what ingredients?”
When Mrs. Wenxu heard Lin Han’s reply, her expression changed slightly.
Megumi Tadokoro on the side seemed to remember something.
“Oh no, classmate Lin Han, I remember that I need to prepare the ingredients myself to cook for Mrs. Wen Xu.”
She explained to Lin Han in a low voice.
“Is that so?”
“So you didn’t prepare the ingredients?”
Mrs. Wenxu looked at Lin Han, as if she might pick up a broom and sweep him out at any time.
Lin Han, however, showed a calm smile.
“Small problem, what other dishes are there in the kitchen? I’ll use those ingredients to make you a dish to try.”
“What an arrogant boy.”
Mrs. Wenxu was stunned for a moment. Looking at Lin Han who looked confident, she thought for a moment and took him to the kitchen.
Compared to the gloomy outline and dark hall.
The kitchen of Jixing Dormitory is unexpectedly bright and spacious.
“Listen carefully, what I hate most is the bravado kid who only knows how to bluff.”
Looking at Lin Han who walked straight to the refrigerator door to check the ingredients, Mrs. Wen Xu said with her hands on her hips.
“Do you know how many students’ cooking skills I’ve tasted during the years I’ve been managing Polar Star Dormitory?”
“People like you who try to hastily prepare a meal using inadequately prepared ingredients…”
Facing Mrs. Wenxu who was talking incessantly, Tanosuke Hui seemed to recall some bad memories.
He showed an expression of fear and pain.
Lin Han, who was checking the ingredients, ignored her mumbling.
“There’s still some rice and vegetables left, and eggs, and the seasoning is quite adequate.”
While muttering to himself, Lin Han was thinking about what kind of dishes to make.
“Oh, there’s a bag of uneaten prunes here.”
I saw Mrs. Wenxu pick up an opened bag of pickled plums on the cooking table.
An idea suddenly occurred to Lin Han.
“Okay, let’s make this dish!”
“Varied……”
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Wenxu felt a flash before her eyes and the pickled plums in her hand had been taken away by Lin Han.
“You’re pretty fast, little brat, but you have to remember that if the food you make doesn’t satisfy me, you won’t be able to stay here.”
Mrs. Wenxu said dissatisfiedly.
Hearing the sternness in her tone, Tanomo Kei shuddered in fear.
Lin Han waved his hand casually, his tone revealing strong confidence.
“Mrs. Wenxu, you only need to wait a moment, and you can enjoy the delicious food that will satisfy you.”
Mrs. Wenxu snorted and actually stopped talking.
Lin Han stood in front of the cooking table and took a deep breath slowly.
The dish he was going to make this time was not made using the character on the card he owned.
It was after he acquired the most powerful chef system that his cooking skills made further breakthroughs.
And a dish that I figured out myself!
【17】Comprehension System! Max-level knife skills and cooking skills! (3 more chapters, please bookmark!) (Old version)
After opening the system in his consciousness, Lin Han’s personal attribute panel immediately appeared.
Compared to the attributes when Lin Han just crossed over, Lin Han’s attributes at this time have undergone earth-shaking changes.
【Level: Special Chef】
[Physical Strength: 10]【Knife Skills: 9】
[Heat: 9][Five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell): 9/9/9/10/10][Card: 2][Evaluation: A high-level chef, a few notches below the highest level, but strong enough to kill most ordinary chefs in seconds.]In the food wars world where Lin Han is currently living, chefs are also divided into different levels.
From low to high, the levels of chefs are third-rate chef, second-rate chef, first-rate chef, special chef, Lin chef, Dragon chef, and king chef.
And the highest level, the God of Cookery!
Let’s not talk about the superstar chefs and food gods who have long disappeared.
There is a clear watershed between the top chef and Chef Lin.
Among ordinary chefs, top chefs can be regarded as geniuses.
But for top chefs like Chef Lin and Chef Long, it is still not good enough.
After completing several tasks issued by the system in succession, Lin Han also used the popularity points rewarded by the system.
Added bonus to your personal attributes.
For chefs of the special chef rank and below, the highest points in all attributes are no more than 10 points.
It can be said that even without using cards, Lin Han’s current strength is among the top among most chefs!
After owning the two cards Jie Lu and Lan Feihong, you can merge them with the characters in the cards.
It actually enabled Lin Han to gain a deeper understanding of cooking skills.
This is also the reason why Lin Han did not plan to use cards to solve the problem this time, but instead cooked the dish himself.
After all, Totsuki Academy is full of hidden talents, and Lin Han doesn’t know how many strong opponents he will face next.
In addition to cards, he also needs to have enough strength to face the challenges that come next!
With firm confidence, Lin Han began to work on the God of Cookery system since he obtained it.
This is the first time I’ve cooked something by myself!
Mrs. Wenxu was originally standing by, watching to see what tricks this little brat could come up with.
As if seeing something unexpected, he and Tanado Megumi beside him opened their eyes wide.
Lin Han raised his knife and carved out the core of the dried plum in a speed so fast that it took less than a blink of an eye.
The prunes that Mrs. Wenxu ate were not pitted, and she was faced with prunes that were only slightly larger than her thumb.
I tried to use a cooking knife that looked delicate, but was still huge in front of a plum pit to remove the pit.
It’s like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.
But as Lin Han raised his hand and swung the knife, the tip of the knife, shining with silver light, seemed to have eyes.
Accurately carve out the clean plum core without leaving any plum flesh.
The plum flesh, which had been dry and wrinkled due to loss of moisture, was cut by Lin Han’s blade.
Cut into small and flexible shapes like petals.
Even the dark plum flesh has a sweet and sour aroma and a lovely shape.
It also seems to make people want to taste it.
Putting the cut plum meat aside, Lin Han continued to process other ingredients.
Onions, greens, rice…
After cutting all the ingredients into small pieces, Lin Han took out an iron pan and heated it up.
The snow-white rice was put into the pot, and then Lin Han took out two eggs.
I saw him holding two eggs in one hand and knocking them against the edge of the pot casually.
Click, click…
With two crisp sounds, the golden egg liquid slid into the pan.
Before the egg liquid solidified quickly under the heat of the fire, Lin Han’s wrist was seen turning.
The fried rice and egg liquid in the pot instantly rose high from the pot like a wave of water!
Then Lin Han caught it back into the pot steadily, without leaking a drop.
“I’ve never seen such skill in flipping the spoon before.”
Mrs. Wen Xu, who has managed Pole Star Dormitory for decades and is knowledgeable, was also stunned by Lin Han’s skill in flipping the wok.
In the past, there were students who were good at cooking and would show off their cooking in front of her.
But no one has ever been able to do it as pleasingly and flawlessly as Lin Han.
Moreover, Mrs. Wenxu’s experienced eyes also saw that Lin Han did this not to show off his skills.
Instead, slow down the high heat to speed up the solidification of the egg liquid and allow the egg liquid and rice to blend better!
“This child’s knife skills and cooking skills are both impeccable and perfect.”
“It looks like he’s planning on making fried rice.”
“But for ordinary egg fried rice, shouldn’t you fry the eggs first and then add the rice? But he chose to add the rice first and then stir-fry them at the same time…”
While thinking in her heart, Mrs. Wenxu carefully watched Lin Han’s every move.
Tanosuke Kei, who was also watching, was so shocked by Lin Han’s superb cooking skills that she was speechless.
If it is said that in terms of knife skills, Tanomo Kei is still barely confident.
Then Lin Han’s control over the heat and the stirring of the wok was far beyond her reach.
“Is this the strength of the top scorer in the high school entrance exam? As expected, this is a gap that I will never be able to catch up with in my lifetime…”
【18】Golden Plum Fried Rice! A Midsummer Night’s Dream! (Please add to favorites and give me flowers!) (Old version)
Lin Han’s wrist kept shaking, causing the ingredients in the pot to flip.
The originally snow-white rice gradually turned golden.
Like golden, full ears of wheat.
This is due to Lin Han’s ultimate control over the two techniques of heat and flipping the wok.
The result is a perfect blend of uncured egg liquid and rice.
The whole process seems long, but it actually only takes one or two minutes.
After frying the “Egg Fried Rice”, Lin Han quickly added other ingredients into the pot.
Sweet and spicy chopped green onions, sweet and sour dried plums, and refreshing and crispy green vegetables.
Add to the rice that has become soft and delicious after being coated in egg liquid and stir-fry.
A fragrance wafted out of the pot.
Mrs. Fumio and Tanomo Kei couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“This aroma not only has the scent of plums and onions, but also a light aroma of rice.”
This requires controlling the heat so that the rice can exude fragrance without getting burnt.
It is like asking a person to ride a unicycle and walk on a tightrope.
One wrong move may lead to failure!
Lin Han skillfully moved all the ingredients in the pot a few times, then swept the large spoon across the pot.
Mrs. Wenxu and Tansho Kei only felt a flash before their eyes, and the next second, there was fried rice in the pot.
It had been scooped into a large spoon without leaving a drop and poured onto a plate that had been prepared on the cooking table.
Lin Han sprinkled some hair-thin chopped green onions on the fried rice.
The already golden and bright fried rice becomes even more attractive against the backdrop of emerald green onion shreds.
“Sorry for the wait. Please enjoy the golden plum fried rice.”
Lin Han moved his wrists twice and said with a smile.
Mrs. Wenxu unconsciously took two steps forward.
A refreshing fragrance mixed with hot mist hits your face.
“Can fried rice really have this refreshing and non-greasy fragrance?”
She couldn’t help but ask her own questions.
The biggest disadvantage of fried rice is that it tends to be greasy compared to other foods.
Therefore, in addition to the heat, the maker of fried rice also needs to have an extremely strict grasp of the ratio of ingredients and seasonings.
Otherwise, too much oil will make the fried rice greasy.
But if there is too little, the rice will easily become dry and burnt.
He had completely forgotten the warning he had given to Lin Han just now, and was only attracted by the tempting fragrance.
Mrs. Wenxu was eager to taste it.
She quickly picked up the spoon beside the plate, scooped up a spoonful of hot rice, blew on it twice, and put it into her mouth.
The rice is still a little hot, and as you continue to chew it, the unique aroma of various ingredients bursts between your lips and teeth.
“The scent of plums is like walking in the forest in the early morning, breathing the most pristine and clean air.”
“The sweet chopped onions, fresh vegetables, and plum pieces all have a crisp texture that makes you want to chew them carefully.”
“And the rice wrapped in egg liquid has a soft and sweet taste.”
“The crispy vegetables and pickled plums blend with the rice and give off a fresh aroma—”
Mrs. Wenxu, who was savoring the dish carefully, suddenly stopped.
“The chest… the sound of waves can actually be heard from the chest!”
Take a deep breath, and your chest will be filled with the fragrance of plums, as if a refreshing sea breeze is blowing back and forth.
All the pores on the body open under such stimulation, and breathe in the surrounding air in big gulps.
It seemed like in an instant, Mrs. Wenxu felt like she had become a dozen years younger!
She opened her eyes and looked at the rice in front of her.
The feeling of rejuvenation just now still lingers for a long time.
Then Mrs. Wenxu was surprised to discover something.
“All this egg liquid has actually melted into the surface of the rice!”
Under the light, the rice grains are clearly visible, and the surface is covered with a uniform layer of golden egg liquid.
Under the scorching fire, the two merged into one seamless whole.
This creates a unique golden rice!
Only when people chew it carefully can they feel the unique softness and sweetness of eggs.
Served with slightly chewy rice, it has an endless aftertaste.
Just this layer of taste design is enough to surprise people.
Of course, this is the golden plum fried rice that Lin Han improved on the original plum fried rice!
And when Mrs. Wenxu stirred the rice with a spoon, she was even more surprised.
Each grain of rice is not stuck together but exists independently.
This means that every grain of rice is evenly coated with egg liquid.
Not one more, not one less!
“This kind of flipping technique would take at least ten years of practice even for a talented chef.”
Mrs. Wenxu said in surprise, then glanced at Lin Han.
However, she couldn’t help but scoop up another spoonful of fried rice and put it into her mouth.
Rich taste and layers, accompanied by a variety of distinct and harmonious flavors of ingredients.
Flowing into the mouth again.
She couldn’t help but close her eyes and chew carefully.
“Delicious, really delicious, really delicious!”
Mrs. Fumihiro, who has tasted countless delicious dishes made by the students of Polar Star Dormitory.
I never thought that one day I would not be able to help but express such repeated exclamations!
“I seem to be back to the night when I was seventeen. Under the silver moonlight, the waves gently hit the beach, and I was wearing…”
“Wait, please wait a moment.”
Seeing Mrs. Wenxu’s intoxicated expression with slightly red cheeks after closing her eyes, Lin Han felt that something was wrong.
I had to interrupt her indulgence quickly.
“Then can my dish be considered qualified?”
Facing Mrs. Wen Xu, who looked at him with resentful eyes after her beautiful fantasy was shattered.
Lin Han could only pretend not to see it.
“Passed, passed, kid, here is your key, room 304.”
Mrs. Wenxu threw a key to Lin Han, took the plate of fried rice, and happily prepared to go back to her room to continue enjoying it.
“Next time if you have any good ideas for new dishes, you can make them and come to me to taste them.”
Mrs. Wenxu gave Lin Han a delighted look, which made the latter shudder.
“How amazing, Lin Hanjun, you actually passed Mrs. Wenxu’s test in one try.”
Tansho Kei, who witnessed the whole process, almost looked at Lin Han with starry eyes.
Thinking of Mrs. Wenxu’s look just now, Lin Han gave a slightly bitter smile.
“Yeah, fortunately, it was a ‘near miss’.”
(PS: I have seen everyone’s thoughts in the comments. Well, if you don’t go to Totsuki Academy, you won’t be able to participate in many things! After all, it’s a fan work! It’s not an experience card, the inheritance of those characters can still be used! The protagonist himself is also constantly growing!)
[19] The Ten Greatest Ones Isshiki Hui! Active Food Wars! ? (Please save it!) (Old version)
[Ding——Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and moving into the Polaris Dormitory. 】
[Receive system rewards: 100 popularity points, 100 points. ]The system also promptly gave Lin Han recognition for passing the assessment.
After saying goodbye to Tadashi Suke, Lin Han carried his luggage and returned to his room.
“I always feel like I’ve forgotten something.”
After washing up, Lin Han lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling above his head in a daze.
Today was his first day as a student of Totsuki Academy.
Starting tomorrow, he will enter Totsuki Academy and begin receiving formal cooking training.
If it were Lin Han who had just traveled through time, he would be faced with his almost zero talent in cooking.
At this moment, I feel a little excited and nervous.
But at this moment, Lin Han’s heart was full of calm.
Because he knew that Totsuki Academy would only be his starting point, not his end point.
Just like what he said at the opening ceremony.
“Totsuki Academy? It’s just a stepping stone for me.”
Lin Han now has the strength and confidence to say such words!
Closing his eyes, Lin Han was about to think about what he should do in the academy in the future.
The cold electronic sound of the system suddenly rang in my consciousness.
[The host starts the main mission: obtain the position of the Ten Greatest Ones of Totsuki. ][Rewards for this mission: 1000 popularity points, 1000 points. ]Lin Han stared at the task screen in front of him.
Different from the previous one hundred points, the task reward is one hundred points.
The reward value for this main mission is as much as one thousand points!
It can also be seen from this that the position of the top ten also has a certain value in the system evaluation.
But Lin Han also knew that it would still be difficult for him to complete the task at his current state.
A more important factor than the strength of the Ten Elites is the conditions required to challenge the Ten Elites as the Ten Elites.
“The Ten Greatest…”
Lin Han murmured softly, then slowly opened his eyes.
“Oh, good evening.”
A piece of the ceiling above my head suddenly disappeared, and then a young man with orange hair poked his head out from the hole.
Yaoyao and Lin Han looked at each other.
Although his smile did not seem to have any malice in it, it also had a kind of friendliness like that of a senior.
But this strange way of appearance still left Lin Han speechless.
However, it was because Lin Han had a strong psychological quality, otherwise he would not have faced such a situation for the first time.
If a timid person suddenly sees a head hanging down from above his head,
I’m afraid I might be frightened to death.
“Senior Isshiki, it’s late at night, this might scare people.”
Lin Han spoke with a somewhat helpless tone.
“Oh? You know my name?”
Isshiki Hui’s face, which always had a smile on it and no other emotions could be seen, also showed some surprise.
“I heard from Tadokoro-san that Isshiki-senpai often conducts midnight raids like this.”
Lin Han just made up an excuse to get away with it.
In fact, the name Isshiki Hui has a very high status in Polaris Dormitory and even in the entire Totsuki Academy.
Because Isshiki Hui is the seventh among the Ten Greatest Talents of Totsuki!
But in fact, his strength is far more than seventh.
Lin Han had an estimate in his mind, if Isese Hui got serious.
I’m afraid that even Si Yingshi, the leader of the Ten Elites and known as the “White Knight of the Dining Table”, would find it difficult.
Isshiki Hui did not pursue this issue too much.
“Come next door. The people in Polar Star Dormitory have prepared a welcome party for you.”
“us?”
Lin Han caught this word sensitively.
After following Isshiki Hui to the next room, Lin Han saw a familiar face in addition to Tanomo Kei.
“Oh, so you’ve come to Polaris Dormitory as well.”
Seeing that the “opponent” he had been thinking about had also come to Polaris Dormitory, Soma Yukihira stood up happily and greeted Lin Han.
It seems that Soma Yukihira should have moved into Polaris Dormitory earlier than Lin Han.
Lin Han was not surprised by this result. He nodded to Soma Yukihira and found a seat to sit down.
“Well, now that everyone is here, why don’t you introduce yourselves?”
As a senior, Isshiki Hui has a high status and prestige in the hearts of the students of Polaris Dormitory.
“I’m Yoshino Yuuki from room 116. My hobby is raising small animals. Please give me your advice!”
A girl with the same orange hair as Isshiki Hui, but the color is brighter, said.
She had her hair tied into buns on both sides of her head and looked full of energy.
“I’m Sakaki Ryoko from room 112. Thank you for your guidance.”
A girl with long purple hair, who looked gentle and intellectual, spoke to Lin Han.
“Ibuzaki Shun.”
A boy with short dark purple hair, who always keeps his head down and whose expression cannot be seen clearly.
“My name is Daigo Aoki, and this guy is Shoji Sato.”
A boy wearing a white vest and with short black hair who looks quite energetic.
He said, patting the blond hair next to him.
“My name is Marui Zenji, and I’m the owner of dormitory 205… Since you guys always come to my place to have parties, then remember to clean up the room for me, damn it!”
The boy, who looked inconspicuous and wore a pair of large black round-frame glasses similar to those of Tadanobu Kei, said angrily.
“My name is Isshiki Hui, and I’m a second-year student at Totsuki Academy High School. You can just call me Isshiki-senpai.”
Isshiki Hui still has his signature squinty-eyed smile.
“My name is Lin Han, and I’m a new first-year high school student at Totsuki Academy.”
Lin Han nodded slightly.
Although he didn’t seem to want to introduce himself too much, he had a handsome appearance.
Or let the girls in the room cast their eyes on him frequently.
“My name is Yukihira Soma, and I’m also a first-year high school student. My goal in coming to this academy is to challenge all cooking masters, including Lin Hanjun!”
Soma Yukihira still looks full of fighting spirit.
“Challenge all cooking masters?”
Isshiki Hui smiled and seemed not to care at all.
If he hadn’t said this the next second.
“In that case, how about we have a little cooking competition now?”
[20] Mackerel! Catfish! ? Magician’s Hand! (Please add this to your collection!) (Old version)
“Competition?”
Like most people in the room, Soma Yukihira’s first reaction was to be stunned.
Then he said excitedly, as if to say, “Then I won’t be sleepy anymore.”
Lin Han didn’t say anything, just glanced at Yi Se Hui indifferently.
Isshiki’s smile remained unchanged.
“Yes, it’s a rare opportunity that we have two newcomers with outstanding abilities in our Polar Star Dormitory, and they both passed Mrs. Wenxu’s test in one go.”
“Besides, it’s a welcome party for freshmen now, why not show off some of your skills?”
As he spoke, Isshiki Hui slightly opened his eyes.
Unlike the friendly smile, those deep and calm eyes were staring at Lin Han.
Although Soma Yukihira’s cooking skills should not be underestimated, Isshiki Hui’s intuition told him otherwise.
Lin Han, who always seems to have little interest in the things around him, is the truly dangerous person.
And Lin Han just smiled, as if he was indifferent.
“I have no objection.”
Lin Han naturally also realized that Yi Sehui was testing him.
But he didn’t care.
Knowing the character setting, he knew that Isshiki Hui was a man with squinty eyes and a deep and mysterious mind.
But there was no malicious intent.
Maybe he just wanted to see his true strength.
And it just so happened that Lin Han also wanted to take a look through Yi Se Hui.
What kind of strength do the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki have?
“If Lin Hanjun has agreed, how can I back out at the critical moment?”
As early as after the entrance examination that day, Soma Yukihira, who had been dreaming of competing with Lin Han, shouted loudly.
At the same time, Mrs. Wenxu’s angry roar was heard from the loudspeaker responsible for communication in the room.
“You guys are making noise in the middle of the night again!”
The harsh roar made timid people like Tanomo Megumi shrink their necks subconsciously.
However, Mrs. Wenxu then said.
“I still have some leftover ingredients. If you want to compete in cooking skills, come get them from me!”
Although Mrs. Wenxu did not hear clearly what they were talking about.
But based on past experience, Mrs. Wenxu could guess what they were going to do next.
“Mrs. Wenxu is still as sharp-tongued as ever, but she has a soft heart.”
Daigo Aoki and Shoji Sato looked at each other, smiled and volunteered to go to Mrs. Fumihiro to get the ingredients.
“Be careful not to get entangled by Mrs. Wenxu and listen to her tell the glorious history of Polaris Dormitory again.”
Ryoko Sakaki and others reminded them.
“I know, I know.”
The two men, who were obviously experienced, waved their hands.
After Daigo Aoki and Shoji Sato brought the ingredients, Lin Han and others had already been waiting in the kitchen.
“Mrs. Wenxu has a really rich supply of food here. Come and see if there is anything you need.”
Daigo Aoki said.
“If that’s not enough, there’s also a vegetable garden in Pole Star Dormitory. You can go there and pick as much as you want.”
Isesehui also said.
“If you want to go to the vegetable garden, that’s fine, but if you plan to go out, please put on your clothes first.”
Although I have managed to avoid looking at Isshiki Hui, who usually likes to be naked except for an apron.
But if Sakaki Ryoko and the others want to go out with Isshiki Kei, the condition is that Isshiki Kei must put on clothes.
Of course, it was not just them. Even Lin Han and Soma Yukihira saw Isshiki Hui wearing only an apron.
I don’t quite know what to say.
But Isshiki Hui didn’t care. He quickly selected the ingredients he wanted.
“Mackerel? Isshiki-senpai, are you planning to make fish dishes?”
Sakaki Ryoko looked at Isshiki Hui and said curiously.
“Well, in that case, let’s use mackerel as our ingredient this time and decide the winner!”
Looking at the variety of ingredients in front of him, Soma Yukihira spoke to himself as if he was suffering from decision-making difficulty.
“Ah, but Yukihira-kun, there seem to be only two mackerels…”
Seeing Soma Yukihira pick up the only remaining mackerel, Megumi Tadokoro gave a small reminder.
At the same time, his eyes unconsciously looked at Lin Han.
If both mackerels were picked up by the other party, doesn’t that mean that Lin Han has no mackerel ingredients to use?
“Ah! There are only two?”
Soma Yukihira scratched his head in annoyance, but Lin Han smiled.
“That’s fine. How about this? Let’s broaden the subject matter a bit and decide the winner with fish dishes.”
Isshiki Hui smiled and nodded.
“Neither have I.”
Soma Yukihira said.
“That’s great. I can finally taste Isshiki-senpai’s cooking again.”
Yoshino Yuuki said happily, and then quickly added another sentence.
“I’m also looking forward to Lin Han-kun and Yukihira-kun’s cooking.”
Lin Han smiled, walked to the cooking table, and prepared to start choosing his ingredients.
The others looked at him curiously.
Although among the remaining ingredients there are some seafood dishes such as squid and catfish.
But compared to the mackerel, which has fewer bones, more meat, fat, tender and plump, it is better in both texture and taste.
It can be said that they are not on the same level.
Just in terms of food selection, Lin Han is already far behind Isshiki Hui and Yukihira Soma!
It would be fine if it was just Soma Yukihira, after all, this time it was Lin Han who was speaking as a representative of the freshmen.
Everyone already has some basis for judging the strength of the two.
But it’s not just Soma Yukihira who is competing with Lin Han.
There is also the seventh seat, one of the current Ten Greatest Talents of Totsuki, Isshiki Hui!
Although in Polar Star Dormitory, Isshiki Hui cooked only a few times.
But every dish he made was enough to astound Yoshino Yuki and the others!
No matter how strong Lin Han is, he is just a freshman.
Since the quality of the ingredients has already fallen behind, Yoshino Yuki and the others cannot be too optimistic about Lin Han.
However, seeing that Lin Han didn’t seem to be worried about it, but instead looked calm, Sakaki Ryoko and the others couldn’t help but speculate.
“Lin Hanjun seems to have thought about what to cook.”
Lin Han, who was standing in front of the cooking table with his back to them, didn’t care what they were thinking.
His consciousness has entered the interface of the strongest food god system.
Looking at the 100-point lottery at the bottom, Lin Han took a deep breath and clicked OK.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully drawing the recipe – catfish noodles! ]“This time it’s not a card, but a recipe.”
After a brief surprise, Lin Han fell into deep thought.
“It seems that the rewards for the lottery are not just cards.”
“In that case, do we have a chance to get recipes, even God’s Kitchen Utensils, and skills like Super Touch and Super Smell through lottery?”
Thinking of this, Lin Han was also a little moved.
But cooking is more important at the moment. Lin Han quickly understood the entire process and essence of making catfish noodles.
Only then did Lin Han open his eyes and begin to choose the ingredients he was going to cook.
On the other hand, Isshiki Satoshi and Yukihira Soma, who had already selected the theme ingredients early, have already started making their own dishes.
“Isshiki-senpai, you actually used a cooking knife to scrape the fish scales!”
Tadokoro Megumi said in surprise.
In their perception, every piece of kitchen utensil has its own use.
In addition to cutting vegetables, cooking knives can occasionally be used in other ways.
But in essence, cutting vegetables should still be the main focus.
Especially for fish with fat and tender meat like mackerel, if you don’t use special scaling tools.
It is easy to scratch the fish skin by simply using a cooking knife to remove the scales.
But Isse Hui held the fish body with one hand and took the knife with the other, and scraped off the scales quickly and decisively.
And the tender fish skin under the scales was not damaged at all!
“Such hand speed and technique are worthy of being a senior.”
Sakaki Ryoko exclaimed in admiration.
“This is probably the strength of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki.”
Ibusaki Shun said, still gloomy.
However, Soma Yukihira felt that he was not as skilled as Isshiki Satoshi, so he chose to use tools to scrape off the fish scales.
However, because his family runs a restaurant, Soma Yukihira’s movements are also very neat and efficient.
The two men finished removing the fish scales almost at the same time.
Meanwhile, Lin Han, who had chosen the ingredients, came to the cooking table and prepared to start cooking.
“What is Lin Hanjun going to cook?”
Sakaki Ryoko said curiously.
Extroverts like Yoshino Yuki and Aoki Daigo couldn’t help but come over to see what ingredients Lin Han had chosen.
“This is, vegetables, squid, and… catfish?”
Yoshino Yuuki looked at the catfish with four whiskers on each of its upper and lower jaws, and for a moment she couldn’t understand why Lin Han chose to use catfish to cook.
“Like mackerel, catfish also has the characteristics of few bones and tender meat. This should be the reason why Lin Hanjun chose to use catfish as an ingredient.”
Sakaki Ryoko analyzed.
“But catfish is a product of rivers and streams. Its earthy smell is stronger than that of seafood such as mackerel.”
“If you are not careful in handling the fishy smell, all your efforts will be wasted.”
Zenji Marui pushed up his glasses and spoke calmly.
“It seems that what Lin Hanjun wants to make is not fresh food like sushi.”
“And he also chose squid, not just catfish.”
“I heard that Lin Hanjun’s family runs a Chinese restaurant. It seems that he is planning to make a Chinese dish.”
Looking at Lin Han who seemed to be about to start cooking the catfish, everyone was quietly speculating.
The biggest feature of catfish is that it has no scales on its body surface, but has a certain amount of mucus.
The mucus itself also has a strong fishy smell, and if not handled properly, it will ruin the overall taste of the catfish.
Lin Han put the catfish covered in slime into a bucket on the side, added an appropriate amount of salt water, and then began to process other ingredients.
The first thing to deal with is the squid.
“Squid and catfish have different textures. Catfish and mackerel are delicate, but squid has a certain chewiness.”
“Lin Hanjun chose both the delicate catfish and the chewy squid as ingredients. Is he planning to focus on the taste?”
“Hey, wait, look at Lin Hanjun’s knife skills.”
The crowd, who were originally still speculating, were left with nothing but amazement the moment they saw Lin Han’s knife skills.
The snow-white and slippery squid slices were as docile as tofu under Lin Han’s knife.
With the movement of the knife, it was cut into thin strands.
Each filament is as thin as eight strands of hair.
Such knife skills surprised everyone!
Even Tanosuke Hui, who had already witnessed Lin Han’s knife skills once, couldn’t help but be shocked at this moment.
Although squid has more texture than other meats, it is not as delicious as other meats when it is uncooked and simply cut with a knife.
It is able to achieve such a delicate and fine level.
Looking around Totsuki Academy, there aren’t many people who can do such knife skills!
Moreover, Lin Han’s movements were also very quick.
The squid slices, with a slippery and flexible surface, didn’t seem to have the slightest effect on him.
However, in just two minutes, Lin Han cut the squid slices, which were a foot wide, into a pile of snow-white filaments.
The remaining palm-wide squid slices were cut by Lin Han into long threads as thick as two or three thin threads combined.
Lin Han put the chopped squid into a plate for later use.
Then Lin Han set up the pot, as if he was preparing to cook some soup.
Everyone was already amazed by Lin Han’s superb knife skills and were looking forward to Lin Han’s next move.
“Pork bones and kelp?”
“Looks like they’re preparing to make the soup stock.”
“Lin Hanjun’s way of cooking soup also looks very pleasing to the eye.”
“Yes, like a pair of hands only a magician has.”
Sakaki Ryoko said.
Lin Han prepared all kinds of ingredients and put them into the pot calmly.
Although this action does not demonstrate as much superb knife skills as the one just now when cutting the squid strips.
But Lin Han’s movements still have a sense of elegance.
It was like a magician performing a trick, scattering stardust from the night sky.
Steam rises from the pot due to high temperature.
The fragrance gradually became stronger from the initial faint scent.
The crowd completely forgot that there were two other contestants and were almost completely immersed in admiration for Lin Han’s cooking skills.
At this moment, the sizzling sound of the food and the fragrant aroma finally drew their attention back.
“Haruhi mackerel.”
“Squid rice balls in chazuke.”
“Please enjoy it.”
The last sentence was spoken simultaneously by Isshiki Kei and Yukihira Soma.
They started cooking almost at the same time, and finished cooking at the same time!
【22】Spring Feast! Cherry Blossoms Appear! (Please add this to your collection!) (Old Version)
“I didn’t expect you all to finish your dishes at the same time.”
Sakaki Ryoko said with a smile.
“Yeah, huh? Is Lin Hanjun still in the works?”
Isshiki Hui and Yukihira Soma looked in the direction of Lin Han.
The two people who were completely immersed in their own cooking were no longer aware of what was happening in the outside world.
This also shows their dedication in cooking.
Lin Han was the same at this moment, and was staring at Isshiki Hui and others who were gathered not far behind him.
Even the faint sounds of conversation had been automatically blocked by Lin Han’s brain.
At this time, Isshiki Hui and Yukihira Soma, who had just escaped from the cooking, also saw Lin Han’s cooking skills that were like a magician.
“Such a beautiful cooking technique. Seeing Lin Hanjun’s cooking process, I feel like my whole spirit has been sublimated.”
Isshiki Hui said with a smile.
At the same time, in his heart, he had a higher evaluation of Lin Han’s cooking skills.
“So elegant, so magical, completely different from the cooking style of Lin Hanjun that I saw during the entrance exam.”
Soma Yukihira said with the same surprise.
Compared to Isshiki Hui, who saw Lin Han’s cooking skills for the first time, and Lin Han, who took the entrance examination with Lin Han.
It can be said that I remember very clearly the “violent” cooking style that Lin Han demonstrated that time.
They were so immersed in appreciating Lin Han’s cooking skills that they almost forgot about other things.
“Why don’t we try the food of Isshiki Hui-senpai and Xingping-kun first?”
Fortunately, Sakaki Ryoko came to her senses first and quickly suggested.
After all, the dishes these two people cook are all hot dishes. Once the best tasting time is over, you won’t be able to taste the best taste.
Everyone agreed unanimously.
Isshiki Hui and Yukihira Soma also exchanged their dishes, and everyone sat around the table and began to taste the mackerel dishes.
First up is Soma Yukihira’s mackerel rice ball and chazuke.
In the tender green tea soup, there are rice balls that look like snow-white hills, and on top is crispy and tender mackerel meat.
Add small green leaves and seaweed to enhance the appearance.
The whole bowl of rice exudes a refreshing and pleasant aroma.
Isshiki Hui and others picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, mixed it with the rice that had absorbed the tea, and put it into their mouths.
In an instant, the crisp, refreshing taste, mixed with the mild salty fragrance of the tea soup, bursts in your mouth!
“ah–“
Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in ecstasy.
“The mackerel meat is juicy and fresh, and more importantly, the skin is crispy. Every bite is delicious.”
“The pan-fried fish, paired with refreshing tea, makes people feel the endless vitality of spring!”
Everyone seemed to be in a barren and desolate land.
As the first breeze of spring blew by, countless tender buds popped out their little heads from the cracks in the ground.
The whole earth is immersed in the joy of the beginning and upward growth of all things!
“As expected of Yukihira-kun, you can actually make dishes with such rich textures that make you feel like you are there!”
Yoshino Yuuki said excitedly.
It is said that Lady Erina Nakiri, who possesses the divine tongue, can visualize the food in front of her by tasting it.
The dishes made by Soma Yukihira are designed to allow everyone to have such a concrete experience!
After tasting Soma Yukihira’s dishes, next was Isshiki Satoshi’s mackerel from Kasuga.
You can feel the inspiration of this dish just from the name.
It’s also about Kasuga.
Isshiki Hui also uses traditional Japanese cooking methods, grilling mackerel with peppers and pairing it with cabbage puree.
The color of the whole dish is very refreshing, and the appropriately sized mackerel pieces are even more appetizing.
Everyone picked up the fish and put it into their mouths.
In an instant, the taste of the mackerel chazuke, which is equally refreshing but different from the one made by Soma Yukihira, filled my mouth.
“The slow-roasted mackerel served with a spring cabbage puree seemed a little surprising.”
“But this mellow and sweet taste goes really well with the tender texture of the mackerel.”
“The mackerel and cabbage, which are specialties of spring, complement each other and make the dish even more delicious.”
“It’s a perfect reflection of the vitality of spring!”
Compared to Soma Yukihira’s mackerel tea rice dish that represents the revival of all things, Isshiki Satoshi’s dish is also inspired by spring.
But Isshiki Hui’s cooking makes people feel the vigorous vitality of mid-spring!
Flowers are flying and birds are dancing, everything seems to be in the most beautiful and prosperous moment!
After tasting the two dishes, everyone looked embarrassed.
“Damn it, Isshiki-senpai and Yukihira-kun’s cooking are both so good, I can’t really tell who’s better.”
Yoshino Yuuki grabbed her hair in distress.
“Ahem, don’t be impatient. We still haven’t tasted Lin Hanjun’s food yet.”
Only then did everyone remember that Lin Han’s cooking seemed to be still in the making.
However, after tasting two dishes that were at the level of the top ten, they also became worried.
Can Lin Han, who only uses catfish and squid as the main ingredients, make dishes that can rival theirs?
However, such worries disappeared without a trace after Lin Han presented the dish he had cooked.
“Is this noodles?”
Soma Yukihira looked at the noodles in front of him in surprise.
The snow-white noodles are slightly thicker than ordinary noodles, but slightly thinner than udon noodles.
When you touch it lightly with chopsticks, you can feel its smoothness and elasticity.
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of smooth experience these noodles will bring to your lips and teeth when you actually suck them into your mouth.
In addition to the chopped green onions for decoration, the noodles are also topped with a few slices of blanched catfish.
But the squid was nowhere to be seen.
“Lin Hanjun, how do you prepare the squid in this dish?”
Yoshino Yuuki asked curiously.
“It smells so good. This soup should be made from pork bones, but I’ve never smelled such a fragrant soup.”
And Sakaki Ryoko couldn’t help but admire.
“It makes you feel like you’ve returned to the cold winter months. There’s nothing more comforting than holding a bowl of hot soup in your hands.”
“Yes, just this warm and fresh smell can relax one’s nerves.”
Listening to everyone’s endless praise, Lin Han smiled.
“Where exactly is the squid? You will know after you have tasted this dish.”
【23】Lasagna is not noodles! The ice and snow are melting! (1st update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“Is there any secret to this noodle?”
Yoshino Yuuki picked up the noodles and looked at them curiously.
“This feeling… You made catfish into puree and then made it into noodles?”
It was Hui Isshiki who first discovered the key.
“Catfish paste made into noodles?”
Everyone looked surprised.
“The fresh and tender catfish meat with few bones is indeed suitable for making noodles.”
“This also makes it easier to remove the fishy smell from catfish meat.”
“But there is a fatal problem with noodles made in this way.”
“It’s just that the noodles made from catfish paste are too tender, and the taste is much worse than real noodles!”
Although he still had that smiling expression, Isshiki Hui was inexplicably serious at this moment.
After knowing that Lin Han and Soma Yukihira had come to Polaris Dormitory, Isshiki Hui had the idea of ​​competing with the two of them.
But after seeing that Lin Han chose catfish and squid, which were inferior to mackerel in terms of ingredients, Isshiki Hui felt that the conditions of the competition were unfair.
I chose to release the water.
On the surface, everyone thought that Soma Yukihira and Isshiki Satoshi ended in a draw.
But only those who know Isshiki Hui’s true strength, and Isshiki Hui himself, know that Isshiki Hui’s strength is far more than that.
After letting Lin Han win, Isshiki Hui thought that he was able to tie with himself and Soma Yukihira.
It’s not bad.
But Lin Han chose to take out the dish called catfish noodles, which made Isse Hui extremely puzzled.
However, Lin Han still maintained a calm attitude.
“Please try this bowl of noodles and you will know how it tastes.”
Looking at Lin Han who was confident in his plan, Yi Sehui’s heart began to waver unconsciously.
The others nearby couldn’t wait to pick up their chopsticks and taste the noodles.
“It’s smooth and tender when you eat it. It’s the unique texture of catfish meat, but it’s less chewy than ordinary noodles… Hmm? This taste?”
Seeing the surprise on Yoshino Yuki’s face, everyone realized that she must have discovered some different flavors through tasting.
So they started to taste Lin Han’s noodles.
Just as Yoshino Yuuki said, when you put the noodles in your mouth, you can taste the smooth and tender taste of catfish at first.
However, if such delicate noodles break when you bite them, they will lose their taste.
However, when they took a bite with this thought in mind, they felt a peculiar toughness!
It was like biting into something elastic.
Moreover, this kind of noodles is more flexible and chewy than ordinary noodles!
“This is… a squid!”
Soma Yukihira said in surprise.
Everyone remembered that the way Lin Han had processed the squid just now was to cut it into thin strips.
“Wrapping squid shreds in catfish paste and making noodles, not only can people enjoy the freshness and tenderness of catfish, but also the chewiness that is better than noodles.”
However, when they thought they had figured out all the secrets of this bowl of catfish noodles and wanted to bite the noodles completely in one bite.
The magical touch comes again.
The chewy squid shreds break, followed by the taste of tender and smooth catfish meat paste.
When your teeth easily push away this layer of meat paste, what you feel next is the deepest part, which is even more chewy than the previous squid strips!
After Lin Han’s processing, the catfish and squid no longer had any fishy smell, and their unique taste was no longer noticeable.
The layers are interspersed together to create a refreshing, tender, chewy and extremely delicious taste!
“How on earth is this done?”
Soma Yukihira looked at Lin Han in surprise, while on the other side, Isshiki Hui was carefully observing the noodles in the bowl.
“This noodle is not made of a simple layer of catfish paste and squid shreds.”
After observing for a while, Isshiki Hui, who had excellent eyesight, finally discovered the key.
There were noodles as thick as chopsticks, and the outermost layer was smooth and white catfish meat paste.
The next layer is a circle of squid noodles surrounded by eight extremely thin squid threads.
The next layer down is another layer of catfish meat paste.
The last layer, which is the center of the noodles, is a squid shred that is two or three times as thick as the second layer of squid shreds.
This also makes the inner core of the noodles more chewy!
“Such multi-layered noodles, and made so thin…”
Isshiki Hui’s eyes were now fully open and were even glowing.
Originally, he thought that a layer of catfish meat paste and a layer of squid shreds were Lin Han’s limit for noodles of this thickness.
Unexpectedly, he actually made four layers directly!
How difficult is the technique and control of proportions?
Especially the outermost layer of catfish meat paste, if the inner part is too thick, the outermost layer of catfish meat will be too thin.
This kind of noodles will easily fall apart after being boiled in boiling water.
But if it is too thick, it will not be easy for the fish inside the noodles to be cooked, and it will also affect the taste.
But in terms of the proportion of noodles, Lin Han has already made this bowl of noodles perfect!
“This dish was originally called Noodles Not Noodles. It only has one layer of catfish meat and one layer of squid shreds.”
“But I made some improvements based on the original recipe, so now this bowl of noodles should be called Lasagna Non Noodles!”
Looking at everyone wolfing down their noodles, Lin Han smiled.
Their reactions are enough to tell you what this bowl of noodles is like.
In the end, even Isshiki Hui slowly put down the bowl in her hand, which no longer had a drop of soup, and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
“The distinct layers of taste make people want to chew every noodle to their heart’s content, fully stimulating the deliciousness hidden in them.”
“The warm and rich soup, paired with the delicious noodles, warms up the whole person.”
“It was like a hungry pedestrian who had just walked through the bitter cold of winter eating the best bowl of noodle soup he had ever had.”
“Everyone, I saw the snow melting from the top of the mountain, and the earth was full of green again!”
“What a magnificent and wonderful scene it is! It makes one want to cry!”
The people’s endless praise seemed to have made the outcome of the competition no longer suspenseful.
“Congratulations, Lin Hanjun, you won this competition.”
Isse Hui stood up and spoke to Lin Han sincerely.
He was so serious and meticulous that everyone was shocked.
In fact, even if he used all his strength, Isse Hui was not sure if he could defeat Lin Han’s lasagna.
Even in his heart, the scales of victory actually lean towards Lin Han!
【24】Chinese Cuisine Research Society! Breakthrough! (2nd update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
Isshiki Hui’s sincere tone of admitting defeat not only shocked everyone present, but also made Lin Han a little surprised.
Because in the competition just now, he could see that Isshiki Hui did not use his full strength.
But such a sincere tone made Lin Han feel that Isise Hui had indeed accepted his defeat this time with conviction.
“But next time, I won’t give up so easily.”
Isshiki Hui then added half jokingly and half seriously.
“It’s amazing that you can surpass Isshiki-senpai’s cooking, Lin Hanjun.”
After being shocked, Yoshino Yuki looked at Lin Han with admiration.
Others also showed admiration.
“Then I will also be looking forward to my next sparring match with Isshiki-senpai.”
Lin Han smiled faintly.
It was already late at night, and everyone who had classes the next day cleaned up the kitchen together with laughter.
They said goodbye to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.
Lin Han, lying on the bed, was about to close his eyes when he heard an unexpected voice.
[Ding——The system detected that the host showed cooking skills that were not inferior to the top ten in the cooking competition.][Extra reward of 100 popularity points and 100 points. ]Lin Han came back to his senses only after the system’s voice disappeared from his mind.
“I didn’t expect there would be delays in the system.”
He laughed teasingly.
But actually, I felt a little happy because of the extra reward and the information I got from the competition.
This competition with Isshiki Hui gave Lin Han more confidence in winning the title of Top Ten.
In terms of strength, he is not faster than the top ten, so the next problem needs to be solved.
It is to select a lucky person to participate in the food battle, and to have the capital to challenge the top ten.
Although in Totsuki Academy, any dispute can be resolved through food battles.
But according to the rules, if Lin Han wants to bet on the position of the top ten and compete with the top ten in food battle.
Then he needs to offer conditions that are equal to those of the top ten.
“You also need to choose your shokugeki carefully.”
Lin Han thought to himself.
“Among the top ten students in Totsuki Academy, Tsukasa Eishi and Kobayashi Ryodou, the top ten students, will not easily accept my food battle challenge.”
What’s more, their status is extraordinary, as a freshman who has just entered the school.
No matter how confident Lin Han is in his cooking skills, he would not be so arrogant as to challenge such a difficult task just after entering Totsuki Academy.
Among the remaining ten heroes that Lin Han knew, there were Erina Nakiri, whom he had already met, and Isshiki Hui.
There are also people like Kuga Teruki, Kinokunokuni Ningning, Eizun Eizunya, and others whom I have never met.
Naturally, Lin Han would not propose a food battle to Isshiki Hui.
After all, Isshiki Hui and he still have some friendship, so there is no need for Lin Han to take away his position as one of the top ten.
However, Kinokununi Nening and Nakiri Erina are both girls, and are not Lin Han’s best choices.
“Among the five seats after the top ten, the only two who have a chance are Kuga Teruki and Eizuno Eizuno.”
Among them, Teruki Kuga, who sits in the eighth seat, is also the leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association and is good at Chinese cuisine.
The opponent who is also good at Chinese cuisine, this condition alone is enough to arouse Lin Han’s interest.
“Why not start with Kuga Teruki?”
With this plan in mind, Lin Han fell asleep.
The next day, after cooking class, Lin Han went to the Chinese Cuisine Research Association.
Before leaving, Lin Han also heard some information from Tanosuke Kei.
All students at Totsuki Academy have their own specialty, world cuisine.
But most of them are Japanese cuisine.
The only people who are good at, or have an interest in, Chinese cuisine are the Chinese Cuisine Research Society where Teruki Kuga is a member.
Therefore, Lin Han originally thought that the scale of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association’s territory would not be too large.
But the facts have proved that Teruki Kuga has been developing the Chinese Cuisine Research Society very carefully.
The huge research institute, which occupies almost an entire floor, is equipped with dozens of stoves and matching cooking tables.
Dozens of students wearing Totsuki Academy High School uniforms and aprons were busy cooking at the stove.
From a distance, the sight of dozens of stoves emitting fierce flames at the same time was quite spectacular.
At the same time, there is a fresh and spicy smell wafting from the direction of the stove from time to time.
It’s refreshing.
At first glance, the Chinese Cuisine Research Society seems to be developing well, and every student who cooks looks very good.
But Lin Han, who had been immersed in Chinese cuisine since childhood, found something wrong after watching for a while.
“The movements of these students are so mechanical, they are just like machines that are strictly following the instructions to complete their work.”
Not only do they cook in the same exact manner, they also handle and select ingredients meticulously according to the instructions on the side.
Including the blanching time of ingredients and the amount of seasoning, it is accurate to seconds and milligrams!
It’s like taking an exam assigned by a stubborn teacher. If you don’t answer the questions strictly according to the standard answers in the book.
You will be immediately judged as unqualified!
The dishes made in this mechanized way seem to be quite good.
But it loses the soul that a dish should have!
“This teaching method is really too much.”
Even Lin Han frowned slightly out of dissatisfaction.
“Oh? Are you questioning my teaching methods, classmate?”
A voice suddenly sounded from behind Lin Han.
【25】You are worthy of cooking Chinese food! ? (3 more chapters, please bookmark!) (Old version)
Lin Han turned around and saw a short boy standing behind him.
His hair color was a little strange. The hair at the back of his head was red, while his bangs and part of the front were brilliant gold.
His bangs were shaped like a spread-out banana peel, with two tufts almost covering his eyes.
Although he is short in stature, there is a kind of arrogance in his eyes, as if it comes from a strong self-confidence that comes from the heart.
It is not difficult to guess from his words just now and his dissatisfaction with Lin Han.
This person is the president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society, Teruki Kuga.
He is also the eighth of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki.
“If I remember correctly, you are the arrogant newcomer who said at the opening ceremony that he wanted to be at the top, Lin Han, right?”
Kuga Teruki looked up and down at Lin Han, whose appearance was too outstanding.
Although he didn’t mind being shorter than the other person, Lin Han’s denial of his teaching method still made him feel a little unhappy.
“Yes.”
Facing a senior who was one year older than him, Lin Han spoke calmly.
“Then tell me, what’s wrong with my teaching method?”
Kuga Teruki put his hands in his pockets and looked at Lin Han expressionlessly.
“Mechanization.”
“You felt that the cooking skills of the staff were not good enough, so you wanted to ensure the quality of the dishes they made.”
“So have them cook exactly according to the recipe you wrote.”
“Even the time required for each step and the method of seasoning each ingredient are strictly followed.”
“What’s the difference between dishes made in this way and those processed on factory assembly lines?”
Lin Han’s words made Kuga Teruki’s face even gloomier.
He refuted plausibly.
“If we don’t cook according to the recipes I wrote, do you think these members can make satisfactory dishes with their skills?”
“If you lack strength and talent, you can only find ways to make up for it in other ways!”
“Look at the dishes they made, such as Mapo Tofu and Boiled Pork Slices, according to the method I taught them. There is no comparison with the dishes they made on their own!”
When the members who were cooking heard what Kuga Teruki said, they all lowered their heads in shame.
Most of them, although they love Chinese food, cannot make it better than the method used by Teruki Kuga.
The tacit agreement of these members made Kuga Teruki look at Lin Han with more confidence.
Lin Han sneered.
“Boiled pork slices, mapo tofu? Aren’t these all Sichuan dishes?”
“For Chinese cuisine, all you need is Sichuan cuisine!”
Kuga Teruki said as a matter of course.
Does he know what he is talking about?
Lin Han looked at Kuga Teruki in some disbelief.
No matter how much you love Sichuan cuisine, if you say something like this in China, you will definitely be beaten up by people from other places.
“The reason why Chinese cuisine is so attractive is that it is so diverse and inclusive.”
“Someone as stubborn and self-righteous as you is not qualified to cook Chinese food!”
Lin Han’s merciless words shocked everyone present.
No one has ever dared to speak to their president like that, not even the other ten elites including Erina Nakiri!
“you!”
For a chef, it is the greatest insult to have his most proud cooking skills trampled upon in this way!
“Boy, since you dare to speak so arrogantly, do you dare to have a food battle with me?”
When these two words of Shokugeki were spoken by Kuga Teruki, all the members present were shocked.
Did they hear it wrong just now?
Teruki Kuga, the eighth of the Totsuki Ten, the president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society, is actually going to date a freshman who has only been in school for a few days.
Taking the initiative to engage in food battles?
Lin Han was also slightly stunned.
“Although I also want to have a shokugeki battle with you, unfortunately, I don’t meet the conditions to do so.”
On the contrary, if the stakes of the food battle were not attractive enough, Lin Han would not have thought of competing in food battle with Kuga Teruki.
“How about this, if you lose, you will join the Chinese Cuisine Research Club and be responsible for the development and improvement of the club’s cuisine, how about that?”
Kuga Teruki readily gave him a direction, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning in his proud eyes.
In fact, long before Lin Han came to the Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
Kuga Teruki had already learned some things about Lin Han from Isshiki Kei.
“When it comes to Chinese cuisine, Lin Hanjun has unparalleled talent and cooking skills.”
This is how Isse Hui described Lin Han to him.
Kuga Teruki, who knew well how terrifying Isshiki Hui’s true strength was, was the last person to see Isshiki Hui and praise him so much.
It’s still Si Yingshi.
If we can get such a Chinese cuisine genius to join the cooking club, it will definitely be of great help to the development of the Chinese cuisine research club!
Lin Han also saw what Kuga Teruki was planning. He was stunned for a moment and quickly came up with a plan.
“Then what conditions do you use as the stakes, Senior?”
“If I lose, I’ll make you the vice president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society!”
Kuga Teruki thought he had made a good offer, but Lin Han shook his head.
“This condition is a disadvantage to me no matter how I look at it. If I lose, I will have to work under my senior. If I win, I will also have to work under my senior.”
“So what do you want?”
Lin Han saw through his plan, and Kuga Teruki coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
“I can agree to the food battle with you, senior, but if I lose, you have to give up your position as the president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Club!”
Lin Han’s words were shocking.
“This freshman is too arrogant!”
Many members had already screamed before me.
They were originally sophomores in high school, and had heard of this arrogant freshman.
But I didn’t expect that he would dare to make such an outrageous request to his senior, Kuga Teruki!
“How is it, Kuga-senpai?”
Lin Han ignored those members and looked at Kuga Teruki.
“If you don’t even have the confidence to beat ‘a mere newcomer’, I think it’s better not to just do this food battle…”
Even if Jiuwo Zhaoji had good manners, he could not stand being belittled again and again by the younger generation, and he became angry.
“Let’s use Mapo Tofu, a Chinese dish, as the dish for the competition.”
“If I lose, I will give up my position as the president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society. If you lose, you will join the Chinese Cuisine Research Society!”
“It’s a deal!”
Lin Han looked at the high-spirited Kuga Teruki in front of him, and a faint, confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
【26】Mysterious pre-match preparations! (4th update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
The freshman representative, who had just been enrolled for less than three days, would compete with Teruki Kuga, who was ranked eighth among the Totsuki Ten.
The food battle with the Chinese Cuisine Research Society as the stakes took place in less than a day.
The news quickly spread throughout Totsuki Academy.
The other ten heroes also learned about this matter.
“Is Kuga Teruki crazy? He actually took the initiative to have a food battle with a freshman?”
When Erina Nakiri mentioned Lin Han, she gritted her teeth and felt quite complicated.
“It seems that Jiuwo really likes Lin Hanjun’s talent and wants to recruit him into the Chinese Cuisine Research Club before he joins the club.”
“However, given Lin Hanjun’s strength, if you underestimate him, you will suffer a great loss.”
Isshiki Hui still had that gentle smile that showed no emotion.
“That guy Kuga actually gambled his own cooking club so easily. No wonder his cooking club has not made any progress after so long.”
A boy with dark blond hair combed neatly back and wearing serious square-framed glasses, who looked too mature to be a high school student at all, said gloomily.
He is one of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki, and the ninth one is Eizun Ezuya.
Eishan Ezu had long seen the commercial value of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
However, he proposed business cooperation to Teruki Kuga several times, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party.
Therefore, facing the behavior of Kuga Teruki who now actually wants to use the entire cooking club as a condition for the food battle with Lin Han.
Eizan Ezu was also very dissatisfied.
Although people had different reactions after hearing the news.
But the food battle on the second day still went on.
“In Totsuki Academy, any dispute can be resolved by food battle.”
“But in order to conduct an effective shokugeki, three conditions must be met.”
This was what Lin Han learned from Isshiki Hui on the first day he joined the Polar Star Dormitory.
“First, we need a notary public who can prove that this duel is an official contest.”
“Second, to avoid a tie, there must be an odd number of judges.”
“Third, both parties in the competition must agree to the relevant conditions of the competition.”
The task of finding a notary and a judge was naturally handed over to Teruki Kuga, one of the Ten Greatest.
In Polaris Dormitory, friends who knew the news, such as Tanosuke Kei, also came to cheer Lin Han on.
Those who also aspired to have cooking skills reach the top ten level had to admit it.
Challenging two of the top ten heroes for two consecutive days, this is probably something that the freshmen in the past would never even dare to think about!
Lin Han, however, does not have such a heavy psychological burden two hours before going to bed at night.
Through the simulated kitchen in the consciousness system, Lin Han kept trying to make the mapo tofu he would prepare tomorrow.
This so-called simulated kitchen will materialize Lin Han’s consciousness in the virtual space.
Then Lin Han can practice cooking in this virtual space which is constructed like a kitchen.
Through the virtual kitchen, Lin Han’s consciousness can also fully feel the five senses that only the physical body can perceive.
Moreover, the passage of time in the virtual kitchen is obviously different from that in the real world.
For every three hours that pass in the virtual kitchen, only one hour passes in the real world.
After six hours of continuous attempts, Lin Han finally made the Mapo Tofu he wanted.
“Huh…finally done.”
Lin Han wiped the realistic sweat from his forehead, and his expression remained serious and focused from beginning to end.
After getting the result he wanted, he finally smiled with satisfaction.
The next day, Lin Han arrived at the Chinese Cuisine Research Society on time.
After obtaining Lin Han’s consent, Kuga Teruki decided to set the competition venue here.
Lin Han also saw some familiar faces.
“Why are you here?”
The visitors were none other than Megumi Tanado, Yuki Yoshino and others from Polar Star Dormitory.
Even Isshiki Hui came.
“How can we miss such a lively event?”
“That’s right.”
Everyone echoed in unison.
“Lin Hanjun, you need to work harder.”
Of course, they did not forget to cheer for Lin Han.
Lin Han smiled and was about to say something.
“I didn’t expect you to actually dare to challenge the Ten Elites.”
A proud young female voice sounded from behind.
The natural air of nobility and the aura as cold as an iceberg can be felt even before meeting him.
Lin Han knew who was coming without looking back.
“I didn’t expect that the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family would be interested in watching this kind of competition.”
He just smiled calmly.
It was completely different from the arrogant and rude look he showed when he faced Erina Nakiri.
However, it has to be admitted that Lin Han’s elegant and calm appearance really makes countless girls feel moved.
Even Erina Nakiri was stunned.
After she came to her senses, she quickly put on a proud attitude.
“I just wanted to see how a commoner like you would be defeated when you overestimated your own abilities and attempted to challenge the Ten Elites.”
“Then please open your eyes wide and watch carefully how I achieve victory.”
Lin Han still maintained a gentle smile, and spoke every word sincerely.
Although she didn’t have the aggressive aura that Erina Nakiri had in her previous memories, she still had a kind of madness.
Erina Nakiri was about to say something, but she held it back and just snorted coldly.
“I didn’t expect that Lin Hanjun also had a connection with the Tongue of God.”
Isshiki Hui showed a somewhat surprised expression.
Lin Han waved his hand, indicating that this was not an important matter.
“The game is about to begin, Lin Hanjun, please come over here.”
Kuga Teruki, who had been waiting here early, saw Lin Han and shouted at him.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Lin Han turned around and smiled at Isise Hui and the others, then turned around and walked to the cooking table with firm and calm steps.
After the notary repeatedly confirmed the competition process and conditions, he officially announced the start of the competition.
“The dish title for this competition is: Mapo Tofu! Competition time: one hour!”
These are the dishes that Lin Han and Kuga Teruki had agreed on yesterday.
Both of them had extremely confident expressions on their faces.
Standing in front of the cooking table, Lin Han looked at the ingredients in front of him and took a deep breath slowly.
Then his mind moved, and a card immediately appeared in his mind.
The purple card god symbolizes S-grade quality, and it has an image of a person with the temperament of a handsome gentleman.
It was the S-level card that Lin Han drew for the first time, Lan Feihong!
【27】The Heart of a Craftsman! Lan Feihong’s Heritage! (2nd update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“call……”
Looking at the cards in front of him, Lin Han smiled, and then decisively chose to merge.
Lin Han, who chose to fuse the Lan Feihong card again, not only had a greater improvement in his temperament.
This time, his compatibility with Lan Feihong’s card was even higher.
“Have you noticed that Lin Hanjun’s movements seem to be a little different from before?”
Tadokoro Megumi whispered.
“Indeed, it seems more calm and elegant, just like…”
“Just like the noble sons of the last century!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Even Erina Nakiri, who always looked at common people with tinted glasses, found it difficult to take her eyes off him for a moment.
“What’s going on? In just a few seconds, why does this guy’s temperament seem to have changed drastically…”
Erina Nakiri was very surprised.
The competition has begun in full swing.
As a lover of Sichuan cuisine and the inventor of the so-called “improved version of Mapo Tofu” recipe, Teruki Kuga is no stranger to the preparation of this dish.
The ingredient needed for this Mapo Tofu is naturally tofu.
As a representative dish of Sichuan cuisine, Mapo Tofu stands out.
In addition to the fact that it is not complicated to make, there is another more important reason, which is its taste.
It integrates eight flavors: numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, hot, green, tender and crispy.
The soft, tender and tasty tofu brings out the spicy characteristics of Sichuan cuisine to the fullest.
It is precisely because the production method is not complicated that it is possible to make a dish of Mapo Tofu better than others.
It depends on the chef’s skills.
As for his skills, Teruki Kuga has absolute confidence in this aspect.
He has loved Sichuan cuisine since he was a child and has absolute confidence in it.
He even believes that Sichuan cuisine is the representative cuisine of Chinese cuisine!
Although Lin Han is of Chinese descent, his family also runs a Chinese restaurant.
But Kuga Teruki had already inquired about it, and there was never any Sichuan cuisine among the dishes prepared by Lin Han.
This also made Kuga Teruki believe that Lin Han himself was not actually good at Sichuan cuisine.
Therefore, Kuga Teruki, who chose Mapo Tofu as the topic of the competition, believed that he would definitely win in the end!
The tofu, which was slightly larger than the palm of your hand, was cut into 2-centimeter cubes by Teruki Kuga’s precise knife skills.
The crystal white and smooth tofu cubes roll gently on the chopping board. The soft posture makes it easy to imagine the taste of tofu.
“Cutting tofu is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in ensuring that each piece of tofu is of this size.”
Isise Hui pointed out the key to this Mapo Tofu in one sentence.
On the other side, Lin Han, who also started cutting tofu, also demonstrated his superb knife skills.
The tofu, which was originally not small, was quickly cut into even-sized cubes.
“Lin Hanjun’s tofu cubes are also of uniform size, but they seem to be smaller than Senior Jiuwo’s. Why is that?”
Tadokoro Kei asked in a low voice.
Isshiki Hui, who also noticed this, pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly.
“My understanding of Chinese cuisine is not as deep as theirs. Considering Lin Hanjun’s cooking skills, he should have a different understanding.”
The game continues.
The cut tofu is put into the pot and blanched to remove the bean smell of the tofu.
In this step, the two of them did almost the same thing.
But then, the two seemed to have changed their direction.
In order to enhance the flavor of the tofu itself, Teruki Kuga chose to use chopped beef, stir-fried it and added the sauce.
To make up for the meaty taste of tofu and satisfy diners in terms of taste.
After all, tofu itself tastes bland, and it is unknown what its final taste will be like.
In the end it depends on other auxiliary materials.
The fried minced meat can provide the tofu with the most delicious meaty flavor.
The reason why Kuga Teruki chose beef as the meat to enhance the flavor of tofu is because beef is better than pork in terms of umami taste.
“It’s a very correct judgment.”
Even Isshiki Hui agreed with his choice.
After frying until it changes color and is cooked, add the bright red bean paste into the pot.
Sizzle——
The fierce sound of frying oil, accompanied by the fresh, fragrant and spicy smell of meat, filled the entire classroom.
Anyone who smelled this smell would swallow unconsciously.
Even some students who haven’t had time to eat yet have their stomachs growling!
Then, Teruki Kuga added seasonings such as fermented black beans and minced ginger.
After the beef is gradually dyed with the color of the chili, the snow-white tofu cubes and a little beef broth are put into the pot.
Driven by the fire, the tofu in the broth makes a bubbling sound when it is simmering.
Such an appetizing sound makes people feel like they are back to the scene of sitting around a fireplace and eating hot pot in winter.
The fresh aroma of the beef and the spicy flavor of the seasoning dominated the sense of smell of everyone watching this food battle.
“Kuga-senpai’s knife skills, control of heat, and proportion of ingredients are all perfect!”
Tadokoro Megumi exclaimed.
Although the preparation method of Mapo Tofu is not difficult, you can’t be impatient.
As the old Chinese saying goes, “You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.”
Therefore, making this dish requires carefulness and patience.
At this moment, Kuga Teruki was like a focused craftsman, staring at the ingredients in his pot.
He was so serious that it seemed as if what he was cooking was not just a dish, but a national treasure that was unparalleled in the world.
This kind of craftsman’s heart is what every outstanding chef should possess!
Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Han again.
“Lin, what is Lin Hanjun doing?!”
Seeing Lin Han’s actions, Yoshino Yuki was so surprised that she almost screamed!
【28】Mapo Tofu! Ice and Fire! (3 more chapters, please bookmark!) (Old version)
Similarly, the tofu is blanched in water first.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Han put the snow-white and hot tofu into the ice water!
“What’s the principle behind this?”
Everyone is a little confused about this operation.
Could it be that the rapid change in temperature makes the tofu taste better?
“But tofu is not meat. Treating it this way will make it more fragile, right?”
“Has this freshman really made tofu-related dishes?”
Some people even sneered.
However, Lin Han ignored them.
After putting the tofu into ice water, Lin Han also heated up another pot.
“It seems that Lin Hanjun didn’t choose any meat just now. What method is he going to use to enhance the flavor of tofu?”
Sakaki Ryoko said with some concern.
This is also the question everyone is thinking about.
The fresh flavor of the meat and the light tofu seem to be the best match made in nature.
If Lin Han gave up using meat to enhance the flavor of tofu, then the taste of his tofu would inevitably be inferior to that of Kuga Teruki!
Everyone in Polaris Dormitory, who had a clear understanding of this principle, also began to worry about Lin Han.
On the other hand, the tofu of Kuga Teruki had absorbed the beef broth during the cooking process.
Becomes delicious.
The signature spicy flavor of Sichuan cuisine dominates everyone’s nasal cavity.
Even people who have just eaten will feel the urge to eat something.
The steaming hot Mapo Tofu came out of the pot quickly.
“Minced beef with mapo tofu, please enjoy.”
A pot of tofu was divided into evenly distributed small plates and served to the judges.
The judges scooped up a spoonful of hot tofu, attracted by the spicy smell that rushed into their noses, and put the tofu into their mouths eagerly.
“Hot! So hot!”
It was rare to eat food that was cooked at such a high temperature, and the judges screamed in surprise at the scalding temperature of the tofu.
However, although they shouted that the food was too hot, they were unwilling to give up the delicious food in their mouths.
He just blew out air and swallowed the tofu.
“It’s soft, tender, smooth, fresh, spicy, and when you swallow it, you can feel the tender tofu sliding into your stomach!”
The judges couldn’t wait to scoop up the second spoonful, and this time, they did not forget to blow on the tofu to cool it down first.
“The tofu is just the right temperature when you put it in your mouth, soft and tender like pudding, sliding smoothly on the tip of your tongue.”
“You don’t even need to chew it. You just need to suck the rich soup on the tofu with the tip of your tongue and swallow it immediately!”
“The tofu absorbs the aroma of the broth, making the originally bland taste mellower, and the beef adds a bit of chewing pleasure.”
“I give this mapo tofu 95 points!”
“agree!”
Hearing the judges’ endless praise, Kuga Teruki smiled proudly.
Lin Han also came up with his dishes.
“My food is ready too.”
The judge, Kuga Teruki, and everyone present looked at Lin Han’s dishes in surprise.
Lin Han smiled slightly. Even though he had just finished cooking, he looked like a nobleman who had just returned from a high-class dance party.
“Mapo Tofu: Ice and Fire, please enjoy it, judges!”
On the plate, neatly sized pieces of tofu were dyed red and snow-white.
Then arrange them into the shape of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram according to the colors.
The red tofu emits a burning mist.
The snow-white tofu also exudes a hint of coolness!
At the same time, a spicy aroma that is no less delicious than Kuga Teruki’s Mapo Tofu emanates from the plate.
There is also a faint sweet and cold fragrance.
“Is this the result of freezing tofu?”
The judge finished speaking in surprise.
“It seems that these two kinds of tofu should have different flavors.”
One of them scooped up the hot red tofu and put it into his mouth.
“It’s so hot, so hot!”
I didn’t expect that the Mapo Tofu made by Lin Han would have such a high temperature.
The judge, who was unfortunately hit again, was about to puff up his cheeks and blow out.
Her movements seemed to be frozen, her eyes wide open with an expression of surprise.
“Tofu, unexpectedly, melted…”
“Melt?”
The other judges said in surprise. They looked at each other, then scooped up a spoonful of tofu, blew on it to warm it, and put it into their mouths.
In an instant, an indescribable wonderful taste burst in the mouth.
“What is this taste like? Not to mention the eight flavors of Mapo Tofu itself, this tofu actually has a sweet and sour taste!”
“It’s even softer than the tofu just now. It’s just like a piece of butter. It melts immediately when you put it in your mouth!”
“The aroma of the tofu itself blends with the soup on the surface, it’s just like drinking soup!”
The wonderful taste made the judges present couldn’t help but eat a few spoonfuls.
“So spicy, so spicy…”
Soon, they were stimulated by the spicy and numbing peppers, and their lips and tongues began to swell and sting.
Just as they were about to find some water to drink, Lin Han smiled slightly.
“Dear judges, why don’t you try the tofu here?”
He pointed to the snow-white tofu next to the red oil tofu.
The two colors, red and white, are clearly distinguished, red is like fire and white is like snow.
Looking at Lin Han’s confident smile, the judge scooped up a spoonful of white ice tofu and put it into his mouth.
An even more wonderful taste spreads between lips and teeth.
“Is this really tofu?”
“This silky, smooth feeling is like eating milk ice cream!”
“The spicy feeling just now disappeared without a trace in an instant! Only the sweet taste is left in my mouth!”
After eating a few more spoonfuls of ice tofu, the judge felt as if his lips and tongue were frozen, and quickly ate a few more mouthfuls of red oil tofu.
“These two kinds of tofu, one hot and one cold, one spicy and one sweet, have their own characteristics while also canceling out each other’s flaws.”
“It’s perfect!”
“Whether it’s red tofu or white tofu, the taste and texture are impeccable.”
“Together, it’s a match made in heaven!”
A plate of tofu was quickly eaten by the five judges.
However, the improved Mapo Tofu made by Teruki Kuga, which was highly praised by them just a moment ago, was pushed aside and no one was interested in it.
“I choose Lin Han’s Mapo Tofu: Ice and Fire!”
“Me too!”
In the end, Lin Han won the food battle with a score of 5:0 without any dispute.
[29] Lin Han’s trump card! The position of the top ten! Secretly spying on Zhejiang! (4 more, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“how so……”
Kuga Teruki lost his previous arrogance and confidence and knelt on the ground dejectedly.
He murmured in disbelief.
“My ingredients and cooking methods are all made strictly according to the most authentic method of making Mapo Tofu…”
As one of the Ten Greatest Masters, Kuga Teruki has always been very confident in his abilities.
I have always believed that there is absolutely no problem with my cooking methods.
But this dismal score told him clearly.
He lost.
Lost to a freshman who had been in school for less than three days.
Lin Han stood in front of him, looking calmly at Kuga Teruki, who had fallen into self-doubt.
“Kuga-senpai, do you want to know where you lost?”
“What?”
Kuga Teruki raised his head and looked at Lin Han in a daze.
At this moment, the figure of this young junior became extremely tall in front of Kuga Teruki.
“I’ve said before that the senior’s cooking skills are very high, but he follows a routine approach to cooking.”
“If you only follow the formulaic taste when processing and preparing ingredients, but lack your own understanding and flexibility.”
“Then no matter how good your cooking skills are, the upper limit of the dishes you make will only remain at the same level.”
Lin Han had already explained these principles to Kuga Teruki before.
But at that time, Teruki Kuga’s mind was full of confidence in his cooking methods.
He simply wouldn’t listen to any of Lin Han’s advice.
“But isn’t this how Mapo Tofu should be made…”
Kuga Teruki seemed to be talking to himself.
Lin Han smiled.
“If you want to become stronger, you need to constantly break through your own limits.”
“It’s the same with cooking. If the upper limit of this dish has been reached, why not try to break through its existing limitations?”
“This is where the idea for my Mapo Tofu with Ice and Fire came from.”
In order to break through the limitations of the original Mapo Tofu, Lin Han not only worked on Mapo Tofu itself.
The addition of fish flavor from Sichuan cuisine gives the tofu an extra sweet and sour taste.
He also ingeniously made extremely cold tofu to complement the spicy flavor of Mapo tofu.
This dish is Lin Han’s own creation.
You know, only by constantly trying to develop new dishes can chefs avoid being complacent and sticking to the old ways.
But after several attempts, Lin Han discovered that even with his current cooking skills.
There is a certain chance of failure in completing this double world of ice and fire.
Therefore, he chose the Lan Feihong card to help him complete the dish.
The cards drawn from the system can not only allow Lin Han to learn the dishes that the card characters are proficient in.
It can also allow Lin Han to possess the cooking skills of a card character!
Moreover, Lan Feihong’s cooking skills are more delicate and more suitable for cooking soft and tender tofu than Jie Lu.
This was also the result of Lin Han’s nearly six hours of experiments in the virtual kitchen yesterday.
After listening to Lin Han’s words, Kuga Teruki pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Lin Han sincerely.
“You’re right. I was too obsessed with following the procedure to complete the cooking.”
“I learned a lot from this game and I lost willingly.”
“From today on, the Chinese Cuisine Research Society is yours, Lin Han. I will submit the relevant materials and reports to the school later.”
“President!”
Many members of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society were shocked and somewhat reluctant.
Although Teruki Kuga was very strict in training them because they lacked talent.
But they are also the ones who know best how much Teruki Kuga loves Chinese cuisine.
Lin Han shook his head.
“I’m just giving up the position of president, Senior Kuga. You can still stay in the Chinese Cuisine Research Club.”
“And I also believe that after this lesson, Senior Kuga will definitely find a better way to cook.”
Although he encouraged Hisahi Teruki so much, Lin Han knew it better than anyone else.
If he had not been defeated by Lin Han, Kuga Teruki would not have admitted his mistakes so easily.
The winner is the king, the strong is respected, and the same applies to the world of food wars.
If your reasoning cannot convince the other party, then use the food battle method to persuade the opponent with force.
You are not as good as me, so my reasoning is correct.
“I will, and I also believe that with Lin Han here, the Chinese Cuisine Research Society will definitely develop better.”
Kuga Teruki looked at Lin Han and said sincerely.
Although he lost to Lin Han, Kuga Teruki, who was more concerned about the future development of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society, also worked hard for the bright future of the research society.
Feeling sincerely happy.
He loves Chinese cuisine and is more concerned about whether he can promote Chinese cuisine in Totsuki Academy.
Now that we have Lin Han and Jiuwo Zhaoji, we have even more confidence!
[Ding——The host obtains the position of president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society. 】
[The system rewards an additional 300 popularity points and 300 points. ][Host, please keep up the good work and complete the task of obtaining the position of the top ten as soon as possible. ]With previous experience, Lin Han was not surprised by the arrival of this extra reward.
However, the 300 popularity points and 300 points this time are enough to explain it.
How important is the position of the president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society?
“Yo, I seem to be late. Is it over already?”
At this moment, a strange young man’s voice was heard at the door of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
[30] You, there is no need to be one of the top ten! (5th update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
This was the first time Lin Han heard this voice in Totsuki Academy.
But Kuga Teruki, and even Isshiki Kei and Nakiri Erina, all showed surprised expressions when they heard this voice.
Obviously, they knew the identity of the owner of this voice.
The crowd near the door automatically parted, and a student with dark blond hair neatly combed back and wearing square-framed glasses appeared.
Walked in slowly.
“Eizun Ezuya, what are you doing here?”
Kuga Teruki, who had regained his fighting spirit, looked at the uninvited guest in front of him.
His attitude became cold and arrogant.
Eishan Ezu didn’t seem to care about Kuga Teruki’s cold attitude. His eyes behind the lenses kept moving between Lin Han and Kuga Teruki.
Revealing a calculating light.
“Nothing much, but I heard that you, as the eighth seat, would actually take the initiative to compete with a freshman in a food battle, and even bet on the Chinese Cuisine Research Club.”
“So I just came here to see the excitement.”
“But I didn’t expect you to fail miserably.”
Although he said it in a regretful tone, Eiyama Ezuya’s expression looked like he really deserved a beating.
“Lin Hanjun does have an extraordinary talent for Chinese cuisine, and a sincere love for it. I am convinced that I lost to him.”
Facing Eishan Ezuya’s ridicule, Kuga Teruki clenched his fists and spoke word by word.
Ruishan Zhizu also looked at Lin Han. Behind his seemingly indifferent eyes, there was a deep fear.
“So you are Eizun Ezuya.”
“Oh, you know me?”
Ruishan Zhizu also looked at Lin Han who had an expressionless face.
“Indeed, I heard that he is a senior who is obsessed with running his restaurant.”
“As a chef, I don’t spend much time on cooking, but spend a lot of time on management.”
“I wonder how much of Senior’s cooking skills are left?”
Lin Han smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
“You brat! Is that how you talk to your seniors?”
Eishan Ezu’s expression also changed, making his already sinister face even gloomier.
“Wow, this freshman actually dares to speak to Senior Ruishan like this.”
“Does he really know what the position of the Ten Elites means? They are one of the highest decision-makers in Totsuki Academy.”
“But he just defeated the 8th-place Kuga-senpai, so he does have the confidence to speak to Eizan-senpai.”
The students around were also talking about it.
“Haha, well said.”
Kuga Teruki clapped his hands to show his agreement with Lin Han’s words.
“Ruishan, stop being so hypocritical. You’ve been trying to persuade our club to cooperate with you. Are you here to fish in troubled waters this time?”
After his purpose was revealed by Kuga Teruki, Eishan Ezuya no longer kept it a secret and smiled coldly.
“That’s right, Kuga. I’m sure you’ve seen how scarce Chinese food is in Totsuki Academy.”
“In that case, why don’t you consider cooperating with me to open a Chinese restaurant and promote Chinese cuisine?”
Teruki Kuga remained unmoved.
“I’ve already said that the purpose of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society is to study and learn how to make Chinese cuisine.”
“Not only the members of the club, but even I know too little about Chinese cuisine.”
“Under such circumstances, you actually want to open a Chinese restaurant. This is not a promotion, it’s just destroying your reputation!”
Seeing that Kuga Teruki still had the same attitude as before, Eishan Ezu also sneered and looked at Lin Han.
“You are the new president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society, right? Why don’t you consider working with me?”
“I heard that your family runs a Chinese restaurant, so you should be relatively familiar with Chinese cuisine.”
“With my means, I can guarantee that if you cooperate with me, the income you earn from running this Chinese restaurant in one month will be equal to your family’s annual income!”
Upon hearing Eizun Ezuya’s words of persuasion, Kuga Teruki’s expression changed.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense! Lin Hanjun!”
Eishan Ezu is not very popular among the top ten, not only because of his own personality.
Another reason is that compared to improving one’s cooking skills or making dishes.
He loves money more, and he is even willing to give up his research in cooking for the sake of money.
Sometimes, in order to achieve his goal, Eishan Ezuya will even use any means necessary.
Lin Han put his hands in his pockets and looked at Ruishan Zhizuya expressionlessly.
“I’m sorry, but I have no interest in Senior Eizan’s invitation.”
“I am more interested in studying the cuisine itself than running a restaurant.”
“But the way Senior Ruishan looks makes me believe that Senior Ruishan’s cooking skills have probably been greatly diminished.”
Eishan Ezuya’s face was gloomy.
“What a sharp-tongued brat you are! How dare you speak to your senior like that?”
Lin Han smiled, looking like he was fearless.
“Since we all know the purpose of your visit, why not make things clear? After all, there is an old Chinese saying, ‘speak frankly and openly.'”
“What do you want to say?”
Eishan Ezu also had a bad feeling.
Lin Han still had that calm and composed smile on his face.
“How about we have a food battle? What do you think?”
Ruishan Zhizu also looked at Lin Han with incredible eyes.
“You want to have a food battle with me?”
“Is it not possible?”
“After all, I see that Senior Ruishan is obsessed with business all day long. I feel that there is no need for you to continue to be one of the top ten.”
There was a brief look of astonishment on Eishan Ezuya’s face, which then turned into a sneer.
“Boy, do you know the meaning of food battle?”
Even Erina Nakiri couldn’t help but speak out.
The Lin Han just now did not have the aggressive aura that she remembered.
Coupled with his calm and elegant demeanor, when Erina Nakiri looked at Lin Han’s seemingly arrogant actions from a bystander’s perspective.
You will also feel an indescribable charm.
But when she heard that Lin Han actually wanted to have a food battle with Eishan Ezuya, she still found it incredible.
As for the purpose of Lin Han proposing the food battle to Ruishan Ezu, almost everyone present could guess it.
He was aiming for Eizun Ezuya’s position as one of the top ten!
【31】The conspiracy is gradually approaching! How can Chinese food be as noble as French food! (Please collect it!) (Old version)
“Of course I know. Otherwise, why would I agree to the Shokugeki contest with Kazukuga-senpai?”
Lin Han said with a smile and turned to look at Ruishan Zhizuye.
“How about it, Senior Ruishan, do you dare to accept my challenge?”
Eishan Ezuya sneered.
“Boy, do you know the meaning and status of the term “Ten Greatest”?”
“Even if I am willing to have a food battle with you, how can you, a poor boy who just entered school, challenge me to a food battle?”
“I’m not like that guy Kuga, who is willing to lower himself to compete with you in a food battle.”
After saying that, Eishan Ezu also pushed everyone aside and left the Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
“It seems that this guy is quite calm and not affected by your words.”
Seeing that Lin Han wanted to provoke Eishiza to agree to a food battle with him, Kuga Teruki said.
“Ruishan’s thoughts are deeper than you think. He will do anything to achieve his goals. You must be careful.”
“I know, but don’t worry, senior. I have other ways.”
Although it did not reveal what the “solution” was.
But Lin Han looked so confident that people couldn’t help but believe what he said.
On the other side, Eishan Ezuya returned to his restaurant and threw the tableware on the ground in anger.
The flying fragments made a crisp shattering sound on the ground.
“Kuga Teruki, and Lin Han, I’ll make a note of this!”
Eishan Ezu, who was still angry, also sat on the sofa.
Several of his men stood by and looked at him anxiously.
“Go, get Mi Zuoang for me.”
Eishan Ezuya suddenly remembered something and said to the person next to him.
His face was very gloomy.
“Lin Hanjun, if that’s the case, I’ll give you a big gift in return.”
Lin Han was not discouraged when Eishan Ezu rejected his food battle invitation.
He has already chosen Eiyama Edatsuya as one of his top ten food battle targets.
People like this who see cooking as a stepping stone to make money, and who lack devotion and reverence for cooking itself.
He is not worthy of continuing to sit in the position of the top ten.
Although Kuga Teruki was defeated by himself, the two of them did not initially compete in the Shokugeki Contest as the Ten Best.
Therefore, Hisaga Teruki was still able to retain his position as one of the top ten heroes.
It seems difficult for a freshman to become the president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
It was also successfully completed under the witness of Kuga Teruki, Isshiki Satoshi, Nakiri Erina and several judges.
Erina Nakiri came to watch the game with the idea of ​​seeing Lin Han make a fool of himself, but instead saw Lin Han, in high spirits, defeating Kuga Teruki with an overwhelming advantage.
Finally, I left with mixed feelings.
The day after the food battle competition ended, there was a cooking practice class with teacher Roland Chapelle, who specializes in French cuisine.
This teacher, who is famous for his seriousness, is always extremely strict in teaching.
Known as the “chef who never smiles”, he is like the devil from hell in the eyes of some students.
For example, Megumi Tadokoro.
As soon as Lin Han stepped into the door of the cooking practice classroom, he was greeted with warm gazes from the people around him.
The first person who caught his attention was Megumi Tadokoro, who was curled up next to a cooking table.
Among those enthusiastic gazes, there was surprise, envy, and many, deep jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Yesterday, Lin Han defeated Kuga Teruki, who was ranked eighth among the top ten, with a score of 5:0.
It has almost spread all over the campus.
Although they were amazed by Lin Han’s talent, some students still thought that Lin Han was only participating in the competition because the subject was Chinese cuisine, which he was good at.
“Today is Mr. Chapelle’s class, and the dish we’re going to make must be French cuisine.”
“Look how proud this guy is!”
Many students were jealous of Lin Han, who had become a celebrity in Totsuki Academy in just a few days after entering school.
They were all secretly gearing up to teach Lin Han a lesson.
Although he felt the malicious intent, Lin Han didn’t care.
He walked straight to Tadokoro Megumi.
“Tadokoro-san, what happened?”
“Ah! Ah…it’s Lin Hanjun.”
Tansho Kei looked frightened, and there was even some cold sweat on her forehead.
“No, nothing, just a little nervous.”
As she spoke, Tanomo Kei repeatedly drew the shape of a human on the palm of her hand and then swallowed it.
“Why? Is it because of today’s cooking teacher?”
When the teacher was mentioned, I saw that Tanomo Megumi’s shoulders suddenly shrank.
Lin Han knew that he was right.
“Today’s cooking class is taught by Mr. Roland Chapelle.”
“Mr. Schapper’s assessment is very strict. If I fail again, I will face expulsion…”
The originally big golden eyes looked as if they would shed tears at any time because of the depressed mood.
“In that case, just make a dish that will satisfy the teacher.”
Tanaka Kei looked up at him blankly.
“Today we should be in pairs, it seems everyone has already been divided into groups, why don’t you be in a group with me, Tansho-kun?”
“Oh, can I?”
Seeing Lin Han nod, Tansho Hui’s originally gloomy mood suddenly gave rise to some hope.
After all, she was very confident in Lin Han’s cooking skills.
Although Lin Hanjun seems to be good at Chinese cuisine, not French cuisine.
However, with Lin Hanjun’s talent and basic cooking skills.
Surely I can get an A grade easily?
“Haha, a guy who can cook Chinese food, I wonder how much he knows about French cuisine, and he even dares to bring a burden with him…”
There was a faint sound of laughter coming from the side.
Before Tansho Kei could feel the pain in her heart from the three words “burden”, she saw Lin Han, who had a faint smile on his face.
But he suddenly stopped smiling.
His handsome and noble face exudes a majesty that makes people tremble with fear.
I just heard him speak to the side in a cold voice.
“Where did this piece of trash come from? How dare you talk big here?”
【32】Superpower! Perfect Tracking! (2nd update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
At the cooking table next to me, there was a person who was much taller than the average high school student.
A student with a rough appearance, with his hair shaved on both sides, leaving only a part of his long black hair tied into black dreadlocks.
He was looking at Lin Han with a provocative look.
A student nearby immediately recognized his identity.
“It’s Subaru Misaki! Why is he here for the cooking practice class?”
“Hasn’t he been having a crazy food battle with others recently, plundering their kitchen utensils? Why did he think of coming here to take classes?”
When Lin Han heard them mention the name of the person in front of him, his eyes turned even colder as he looked at Subaru Misaki.
“Did Eizan Ezuya send you here?”
In Totsuki Academy, there is no student who is unfamiliar with the name of any of the Totsuki Ten Elites.
When Lin Han mentioned Eizune Eizune, one of the top ten students, all the students seemed to be attracted.
After all, gossip is human nature.
Many people also knew that Lin Han proposed a food battle to Eishan Ezuya yesterday but was rejected.
Therefore, after hearing Lin Han say that Mimasaka Subaru was sent by Eishan Ezuya, all the students unconsciously turned their eyes over.
And Tanosuke Megumi, who was forced to be surrounded by enthusiastic gazes along with Lin Han and Misaku Subaru, was so nervous that she almost fainted.
“So what if it is, so what if it isn’t?”
Subaru Misaki chuckled, clearly showing that he didn’t care.
“Lin Hanjun, do you dare to challenge me in a competition?”
Lin Han glanced at him coldly, a look that seemed to make people feel like they were falling into an iceberg.
Even Subaru Misaki, who was much taller than Lin Han, was stunned by the look.
“That’s right. Let’s use the questions that Mr. Shaper will give in class today as a test. Whoever can get a higher evaluation from Mr. Shaper will win.”
Subaru Misaki said confidently.
“Why should I compete with you?”
However, Lin Han’s expressionless response made Misaku Subaru stunned.
“Go back and tell Eizun Eizun that if you want to test my full strength, then come and have a food battle with me. I will definitely accompany you.”
After saying that, Lin Han returned to his cooking table.
After a little thought, Lin Han understood the purpose of Subaru Misaki’s visit today.
Ruishan Ezu also knew that Lin Han would definitely find another opportunity to force him to compete with him in food battle.
After witnessing Lin Han defeating Kuga Teruki with a huge advantage of 5:0, Eishan Ezuya felt a serious sense of threat in his heart.
I guess Eishan Ezu has also conducted a detailed investigation on himself in the past two days.
After knowing that Lin Han had only cooked Chinese cuisine so far, Ruishan Ezu was not sure whether Lin Han was also good at other types of cuisine.
Therefore, before he was completely confident that he could take on his own food battle challenge, Eiyama Edatsuya sent out his subordinate Misaku Subaru.
Come as a vanguard to find out Lin Han’s true strength in order to prepare for subsequent actions.
Although Subaru Misaki is not one of the top ten students as a first-year student, he is also very famous.
He has an absolute talent for culinary imitation and often imitates his opponents’ dishes during competitions.
What’s even more frightening is that Subaru Mimasaka will further improve the dishes based on the original ones.
He plays with the rules of Shokugeki at will and often challenges others in the academy.
And by defeating your opponents, you can loot their kitchenware!
Many people in the academy hate and fear Misaku Subaru.
This is also the reason why Eishan Ezuya chose to let Subaru Misaku to find out Lin Han’s strength.
After Lin Han saw through his intention and rejected his invitation to compete, Subaru Misaki’s face turned gloomy.
At this time, teacher Roland Chapelle also came to the classroom.
This slightly older blond teacher was just as serious as the rumors said.
So much so that Tansho Kei prayed that the exam questions would not be too difficult while silently making the sign of the cross on her palm.
“This time, the test question is to make a dish using a whole chicken as the main ingredient.”
“If the dishes you make don’t satisfy my taste, they will all be judged as failing!”
Teacher Roland Chapelle said sternly.
“It’s over…”
When Tanosuke Kei heard that she failed, she immediately panicked.
“It’s okay. As long as we can make dishes that satisfy the teacher, we will pass. Cheer up.”
Lin Han comforted her.
Looking at the confident Lin Han, Tansho Kei seemed to be infected.
“In that case, what should we cook, Lin Hanjun?”
“Ah, Mr. Chapelle seems to have a special liking for French cuisine. Why don’t we make a red wine braised chicken dish? What do you think?”
Tanosuke Hui proposed to Lin Han nervously.
“I don’t care, but I don’t know how to make red wine braised chicken. Maybe you need to be the main dish. Is that okay?”
Lin Han nodded casually.
Even though he had never cooked French cuisine, with Lin Han’s current cooking skills, most dishes could still be easily prepared.
“Yeah, of course!”
Because of Lin Han’s trust, Tansho Kei also became confident.
And nearby, Mimasaka Subaru, who heard their conversation, and his partner secretly revealed a sinister smile.
To make red wine braised chicken, the first thing to do is to cut the chicken into small pieces and season it and fry it.
Things like cutting meat were naturally left to Lin Han, who had perfect knife skills.
Seeing Lin Han’s amazing knife skills again, Tanosuke Hui admired him from the bottom of his heart.
“As expected of Lin Hanjun, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to catch up with such knife skills in my lifetime…ah!”
Tansho Kei seemed to have suddenly seen something shocking and screamed subconsciously.
However, she then remembered that Lin Han was still cutting meat, and she hurriedly covered her mouth, fearing that she would disturb Lin Han.
Even so, there were still exclamations coming from all around.
The students around were amazed and talking about more than just Lin Han’s knife skills.
Because at this moment, in front of a cooking table next to Lin Han.
Subaru Misaki, who was also wearing a chef’s apron, was turning his head and watching Lin Han’s movements intently.
On the other hand, he was cutting the chicken almost in sync with Lin Han, using the same exquisite knife skills!
This is Subaru Misaki’s unique ability, perfect tracking!
【33】A despicable plot! (3 more chapters, please bookmark!) (Old version)
The knife strokes were exactly the same, and even the shape and size of the chicken being cut were almost exactly the same!
Even though Lin Han’s knife skills were almost perfect, he was also very fast.
Subaru Mimasaka actually managed to copy all of Lin Han’s movements flawlessly!
The students who saw Mimasaka Subaru’s perfect tracking for the first time almost forgot to take care of their own food.
He wished he could stick his head near Lin Han and Misaku Subaru.
Lin Han also noticed Subaru Misaki’s focused gaze, but was not affected by it.
“Tadokoro-san, just focus on cooking.”
After cutting all the chicken, Lin Han glanced at Subaru Misaki indifferently.
At the same time, Subaru Misaki, who had finished cutting all the chicken, gave Lin Han a provocative smile.
“Yes, yes.”
Ashamed of herself for being distracted while cooking, Tanomo Megumi immediately entered the state of concentration that a chef should have.
The chopped chicken is sprinkled with salt and pepper, then coated with wheat flour and slightly marinated to allow for flavor.
Then, Megumi Tadokoro put a large spoonful of olive oil and two large spoonfuls of butter into the pan, and fried the marinated chicken in the pan.
Amid the sizzling sound of oil frying, a sweet meaty aroma wafts from the pot under the influence of the hot steam.
On the other side, Lin Han started another fire and put a frying pan on the stove according to Tansho Kei’s request.
Add the oil to the pan and add the sweet and slightly spicy chopped onion and garlic slices.
When the onion slices are most fragrant, quickly pour the onion slices and ginger slices into the pot.
Two different sweet flavors collide together, bursting with incomparable fragrance!
But at the same time, the same fragrance also appeared on Subaru Misaki’s side.
Subaru Misaki, who was staring at Lin Han’s movements almost the entire time, was like the most sophisticated machine, imitating Lin Han’s movements meticulously.
The perfect imitation makes the aromas emanating from the two cooking tables almost indistinguishable!
Even teacher Roland Chapelle, who was sitting on the podium, opened his eyes slightly and looked over here.
Then, Lin Han and Tian Suoke added seasonings to the pot and cooked the chicken with chopped onions and garlic slices over medium heat.
After the aroma began to sizzle in the pot, the two added chopped bacon, mushrooms, onions and other ingredients into the pot.
At this moment, Mimasaka, who had been imitating the behavior of Lin Han and Tansho Kei, began to change his actions!
“He chose not to add bacon, probably because he wanted to improve on our coq au vin dish.”
Lin Han said, taking in Subaru Misaku’s behavior calmly.
“Ah? Then, will the dishes they make be better than ours?”
Then he asked nervously.
Lin Han thought for a moment, then smiled.
“If Subaru Misaki can really perfectly imitate his opponent’s movements and improve upon them, I think it’s possible.”
“But it’s not a competition. Our goal for this cooking is just to get an A. You don’t have to take it to heart.”
When Lin Han saw her worry, Tansho Kei was frightened and blushed, but also felt a little touched.
The reason why Lin Han said this was because if he seemed to care too much about the results.
To a certain extent, it was as if he was secretly competing and testing himself against Subaru Misaki.
In short, facing the opponent’s provocation, the strongest one wins.
It means not giving your opponent any chance to compete with you at all.
“Then just cook the chicken separately for another ten minutes.”
Lin Han said while looking at the pot.
“I think we’re out of seasoning. I’ll go get some salt and soy sauce. Tansho-san, you stay here and watch the heat.”
“Yeah, okay, fine.”
Tanosuke Hui tried her best to respond to Lin Han in a calm tone.
However, when Lin Han was about to return with the seasoning, he met Tanosuke Kei who came in from the door.
“Tadokoro-san, why are you here?”
Lin Han suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
“Ah, a classmate just told me that someone was looking for me outside, but when I went out, there was no one in the corridor.”
Tadokoro Kei said a little panicked.
“What’s the name of the classmate who asked you to go outside?”
“Yu, Yugui…”
Before she could finish her words, Tansho Kei realized something and her expression suddenly changed.
At that time, the person who told him the news was Subaru Misaki’s partner!
The two of them quickly ran back to the cooking table.
Everything seemed to be fine, the chicken was still cooking in the pot.
However, both Lin Han and Tanosuke Hui smelled an abnormal odor.
Ignoring the smile from Misaku Subaru, Lin Han opened the lid of the pot.
“It’s over, it’s over…”
Looking at the pot, the chicken was almost submerged in salt and light soy sauce.
Tansho Kei’s face turned pale and he took a few steps back.
Even Lin Han pursed his lips slightly, without a trace of smile on his face.
“Oh my, how could it turn out like this?”
Subaru Misaki came over, looked at the ruined ingredients in the pot, and shook his head with a sigh.
“Although the academy can provide students with cooking ingredients for free, we can’t waste the food.”
“That’s right, but it’s probably too late to make another pot now.”
“If you cook too fast, it might even affect the taste of the dish.”
Mimasaka Subaru’s partner, Yu Guirun, was also fanning the flames.
Even the classmates next to him cast a look of regret yet gloating at him.
After all, they were also jealous of Lin Han, who became a celebrity as soon as he entered the campus.
Tears of despair welled up in Tadokoro Megumi’s eyes.
If you fail this time, you will be expelled!
Mom, everyone, I’m really sorry for failing to live up to your expectations.
But I really can’t help it…
“Have you said enough?”
The voice, as cold as ice and snow and chilling to the bone, interrupted everyone’s discussion.
Ignoring the sarcasm from the people around him, Lin Han turned to look at Tanosuke Kei.
“Will crying help?”
Shocked by Lin Han’s calm tone, Tanosuke Hui raised her head blankly and looked at Lin Han.
The figure in front of her seemed to suddenly become taller, stinging her eyes like sunlight.
“If you want to pass, cheer up now and do what I say.”
Lin Han slowly glanced around.
His eyes were as cold as ice, and made everyone who met his eyes, including Subaru Misaki, speechless for a moment.
“If you can only rely on tripping others upside down to win, then I’ll show you.”
“What is real strength?”
【34】Magical trick! Chicken stewed in red wine! (2nd update, please bookmark) (Old version)
I heard Lin Han’s calm speech, as if he was declaring war.
Subaru Misaki was stunned at first, then sneered.
“Really? Then I’ll wait and see.”
What a joke, when it’s almost halfway through the meal and all the food is ruined.
There is no choice but to redo it.
However, the remaining time was not enough for Lin Han and his team to complete the pickling and cooking steps.
What is this guy talking about?
However, although Lin Han was cold, he had an unusually calm attitude.
However, Subaru Misaki had a bad feeling in his heart.
“Tadokoro-san, listen carefully, we don’t have much time left.”
“So, next, I need you to put aside all distractions and fully cooperate with my arrangements.”
Lin Han turned and said to Tanosuke Kei.
Even though things went wrong, Megumi Tadokoro felt that she was largely responsible for it.
Hearing that Lin Han was still willing to trust him so much, he cheered up again.
He nodded seriously and firmly.
“Don’t worry, they must be bluffing.”
Yu Guirun said to Misaku Subaru who looked unhappy.
Subaru Misaki looked at Lin Han and Tanomo Kei who had already gone their separate ways and snorted coldly.
“Need I tell you? Keep cooking!”
Rather than worrying about what other tricks Lin Han might have up his sleeve, he just wanted to make his own braised chicken in red wine.
That will definitely give them a greater chance of winning than Lin Han and his group who prepared hastily!
At this point their chicken and other ingredients are also cooked, and they only need to cook the chicken alone for another ten minutes.
Add other spices to taste.
Entering the final moment, Subaru Misaki forgot to pay attention to the situation on Lin Han’s side.
Start cooking your own dishes seriously.
In order to highlight the umami flavor of the chicken itself, he gave up bacon as a side dish.
Use onions and celery, which go best with chicken, to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
At the same time, in order to avoid the red wine braised chicken being too monotonous, he cooked some extra mashed potatoes.
As time passed, students submitted their works to teacher Roland Chapelle.
Teacher Roland Chapelle’s comments were as harsh as ever.
“The chicken was cooked for ten seconds longer, making it too tough and unacceptable!”
“The marinating time is wrong, so the spices can’t cover up the fishy smell of the chicken. It’s unqualified!”
“The timing is good, but the ingredients are too greasy. After one bite of this kind of dish, customers will lose interest in eating more.”
“Unqualified!”
Countless students, some nervous and some confident, presented their works to teacher Roland Chapelle.
They all came back with unsatisfactory grades and sad faces.
Occasionally there are a few who pass, and most of them have expressions of relief on their faces for having survived the disaster.
I feel like I performed above my level this time.
Subaru Misaki, who had already prepared his own dish, looked at the red wine braised chicken on the plate and smiled smugly.
He subconsciously looked up at Lin Han.
However, the scene before him made his pupils shrink.
Not only Subaru Misaki, but almost everyone who noticed Lin Han’s situation looked at them in shock.
“Lin, Lin Hanjun, I brought the soil back.”
Tanosuke Hui, who was carrying a bucket full of mud with difficulty in her hands, spoke to Lin Han breathlessly.
This was the task Lin Han had just assigned to her.
“Go outside and dig up some fresh dirt.”
This is what Lin Han said.
Although he didn’t understand why Lin Han asked him to dig the soil, it was because he trusted him.
Tanomo Kei still firmly carried out his orders.
“I just asked you to dig some dirt, not so much.”
Lin Han was also a little amused by the amount of soil that Tanosuke Hui brought back.
“Hey, these soils are not good enough?”
Tansho Kei said a little nervously.
“No, it’s just that the quantity is a bit much, but the soil is very good, just what I need.”
Hearing him say this, Tanosuke Hui felt relieved.
“So what should we do next…”
“No way, you’re going to use mud to cook for Teacher Shaper?”
Yu Guirun raised his doubts in shock.
However, what greeted him was Lin Han’s cold eyes.
“You are a guy with limited knowledge. Just wait and see.”
Lin Han was too lazy to waste time talking to those who only thought of using despicable tricks to win.
He took out the whole chicken that had been marinated earlier.
Place the chicken on the lotus leaves that have been dried, soaked and expanded again.
Use several layers of lotus leaves to tightly cover the whole chicken, and then tie it with a knot to prevent any leakage.
“Are you going to make steamed chicken? But this time is probably not enough to steam the chicken.”
“If you use a high heat, it will easily cause the moisture in the chicken to quickly lose, and the chicken will taste hard and woody.”
People around were speculating.
Then, in the next second, Lin Han’s actions almost made them drop their eyes.
He actually spread the mud with water all over the lotus leaves!
“Hey! What are you doing! Are you going to let Teacher Chapelle eat a mud chicken?!”
“You’re using mud to cook chicken. Don’t you think it’s dirty?”
“Oh my god, my eyes.”
The shouts coming from the kitchen attracted Teacher Shaper to look over here.
After seeing Lin Han’s actions, Teacher Shaper also frowned slightly.
It seems that Mr. Chapelle, who advocates elegant French cuisine, does not like Lin Han’s “dirty” cooking method.
Misaku Subaru and Yu Guirun secretly exchanged a look of secret joy and walked past Lin Han in a pretentious manner.
Lin Han, who was concentrating on making his own dishes, didn’t even glance at them.
“Teacher Chapelle, this is our dish, chicken braised in red wine, please enjoy it.”
The chicken on the plate has a bright reddish color, which is the effect of being cooked with red wine.
Teacher Chapell nodded slightly, picked up a piece of tender chicken with a fork, and put it in his mouth to chew.
“Yes, the stewed meat is cooked to perfection, and the chicken has absorbed the flavor of the ingredients, making it even more tender and delicious.”
Teacher Shaper opened his eyes, his eyes shining slightly.
“The aroma of the red wine and other spices has completely permeated the chicken.”
“The light and fluffy mashed potatoes, paired with the red wine chicken sauce, are refreshing and refreshing, a perfect innovation!”
“I give you an A for this dish!”
Teacher Shapper’s repeated affirmation made Mimasaka Subaru Yukijun smile proudly.
“Whoa! What are you doing? Are you trying to burn down the classroom?”
A burst of panicked shouting suddenly came from near Lin Han’s cooking table!
[35] Hellfire beggar chicken! Tears of the French people! (Please collect!) (Old version)
Subaru Mimasaka and Mr. Shaper both subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Lin Han was seen standing in front of the chicken that was completely covered with mud, holding a lighter in his hand!
The students who were watching them just now saw exactly how Lin Han smeared the white wine on the mud outside.
The intention of Lin Han’s actions at this moment could not be more obvious.
“Student Lin Han, what are you doing…”
Teacher Shaper frowned slightly and was about to ask.
But Lin Han lit up the lighter and put the flame towards the mud.
boom!
Flames shot up into the sky!
The blue flame, like a leaping fireman, burned the alcohol on the surface of the mud.
“Waaaaaah! Are you crazy!”
“It will cause a fire! Go get some water!”
Amid the students’ panicked shouts, Lin Han, with a cold face, remained unmoved.
He glanced at the people around him, and everyone who looked at him felt as if they were falling into hell.
Even Tansho Kei felt that Lin Han was like a different person at this moment.
“All you have to do is watch quietly. This chicken dish is absolutely the best.”
After saying that, Lin Han ignored them.
“Teacher Schapper…”
Some students tried to ask Roland Chapelle for help.
However, the latter just frowned, and slowly sat down again after standing up.
“I want to see what kind of food this Chinese student can prepare.”
Subaru Misaki was stunned.
Does Mr. Shaper’s remarks here condone Lin Han’s behavior?
At this moment, the words from the outside world could no longer disturb Lin Han.
He was like a craftsman who was carefully carving something, focusing his whole body and soul on the mud dish in front of him.
Whenever the alcohol on the surface of the mud was about to evaporate under the scorching heat of the flames, Lin Han would take out a new bottle of wine.
With uncanny perfection, the wine was poured over the mud.
Under the continuous high-temperature smoking, the wet mud blocks were quickly baked hard.
Even slight cracks can be seen on the surface.
The students, who had almost finished preparing the dishes, were staring at Lin Han intently.
Watch how he uses his magician-like skills to maintain this raging flame and keep it burning vigorously!
“Sorry for the wait!”
With only thirty seconds left, Lin Han finally presented his dish.
“Hellfire Beggar’s Chicken, Mr. Shaper, please enjoy it!”
Hellfire Beggar’s Chicken? What a ridiculous name.
This is the first thought that comes to most people’s minds.
Teacher Shapper was also slightly stunned.
“Beggar’s chicken? Is that how China cooks it?”
“Almost the same. Mr. Schapper can also understand it as stewed chicken.”
After hearing Lin Han’s explanation, Teacher Shaper finally showed an expression of understanding.
However, looking at the black mud in front of him that seemed difficult to handle, Teacher Shaper frowned.
“How do you eat this dish?”
Lin Han smiled and took out a cooking knife.
I saw him chopping the mud with the back of the knife, and I heard a crackling sound.
Amid the continuous cracking sounds, the mud on the surface broke into pieces and slid down like powder.
Reveal the lotus leaves underneath.
The aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves emanates from the steaming mist.
“Smells so good…”
One student couldn’t help but say.
Not only him, everyone was intoxicated by the fresh and pleasant aroma of chicken.
Subaru Mimasaka was even more surprised.
Judging from the degree to which the mud blocks were shattered, Lin Han was roasting the chicken directly with flames.
The control of the temperature and intensity of the fire can be said to be perfect!
Then, Lin Han used the clean tip of the knife to pick apart the lotus leaves and the silk ropes on the surface.
The whole chicken is golden and shiny underneath.
The delicious meat aroma becomes more intense.
Gurgle…
Some people even couldn’t help swallowing.
Even Teacher Shaper, faced with such an enticing aroma, almost couldn’t help but want to tear off a piece of chicken!
However, the elegance deep in his bones forced him to suppress his nature.
Use your usual knife and fork to cut off a piece of meat from the chicken leg and put it into your mouth.
Countless pairs of eyes were looking at Teacher Shaper, eager to know the answer.
I want to know what the smell is underneath this almost overwhelming fragrance.
Even Subaru Mimasaka, who was extremely confident in his work, had a strong sense of foreboding.
After a long time, Mr. Shaper, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
The blue eyes that were always calm and self-controlled suddenly glowed with star-like light.
“Delicious! It’s so delicious!”
The unprecedented intense tone stunned all the students present.
Is this really the cold-hearted teacher Shaper from before?
“The fragrance of the lotus leaf neutralizes the greasiness of the chicken and adds a more enticing aroma.”
“The chicken cooked over high heat, with the mud and lotus leaves locking in moisture, did not become dry, but rather fresh and tender!”
“Every time you chew it, you can feel the rich and juicy meat splashing in your mouth.”
“A wonderful combination of spices, which permeates every inch of the chicken. I have never tasted chicken cooked so flavorfully!”
“But as far as I know, your Hellfire Beggar’s Chicken doesn’t have enough marinating time. How did you do it, Lin Han?”
“Because I added honey during the pickling process, and honey contains enzymes that can break down proteins.”
“This makes the chicken more tender and easier to marinate.”
Teacher Schapper nodded.
Although his gentlemanly nature reminded him to restrain himself.
However, the aroma of the chicken in front of him made Roland Chaper’s sanity teeter on the brink of collapse at any time.
“It smells so good, so good!”
Finally, Mr. Chapell gave up his reserve and dropped his knife and fork.
He tore off a chicken leg with his hands, put it into his mouth and chewed it.
The students had never seen Teacher Shaper lose his composure like this, and they all looked at him in shock, forgetting to breathe.
“Such a fresh taste, such a rich aroma!”
“It’s far better than any French food I’ve ever had! Is this the magic of Chinese cuisine?”
“It would be worth it to go to hell to eat such food!”
“Student Lin Han, although I don’t have the authority to assess S-level, but today, in my heart, your dish is the best.”
“It’s an S-level existence!”
Roland Chaper’s eyes seemed to be overflowing with tears due to his natural awe for Chinese cuisine.
Tears of admiration for Chinese cuisine!
【36】Break that shadow! The loser eats dust! (Please save this!) (Old version)
“How is it possible…”
Looking at the excited Mr. Shaper, Subaru Mimasaka took a step forward in disbelief.
He tore off a piece of Hellfire Beggar Chicken meat and put it into his mouth to chew.
And the kind of taste that teacher Roland Chapelle talked about, extremely rich.
It also brought him the same shocking impact!
“Damn it…if, if we were making the same dish…”
Subaru Misaki regretted his previous action of destroying Lin Han’s cooking.
If both parties serve the same dish.
Then, the winner must be yourself!
However, Lin Han’s cold voice came.
“Do you think you can win if I hand you the same dish of chicken braised in red wine?”
“What……”
Misaku Subaru looked up at Lin Han in a daze.
“Even if you can improve on my cooking, do you think I won’t be able to make it so you can’t imitate it at all?”
He originally thought that as long as he could perfectly imitate Lin Han’s techniques.
And make improvements on this basis.
He will definitely be able to defeat Lin Han.
But Lin Han’s words made him realize.
Faced with his seemingly perfect imitation, Lin Han is not completely without a backup plan!
With Lin Han’s strength, Subaru Misaki fully believes that this is possible!
“People who don’t think about the path they should take, but just innovate by imitating others.”
“In the final analysis, it is just a more outstanding shadow of others.”
Lin Han said indifferently.
“shadow……”
Subaru Mimasaka murmured.
Originally, he had always believed that he had the talent to perfectly track his opponent’s movements and imitate them.
As the best talent.
But at this moment, Lin Han’s words seemed to shatter and reshape his three views.
If you only want to improve by imitating others.
Then, you will never be able to possess your own true talents!
And can only live as the shadow of others!
“I understand… Thank you, Lin Hanjun.”
There was extreme sincerity in the look in Misaku Subaru’s eyes when he looked at Lin Han.
“I have a request, please agree to it.”
Hearing what Subaru Misaki said, Lin Han raised his eyebrows slightly.
“you say.”
Subaru Misaki walked in front of Lin Han, and his tall body brought with it unparalleled oppressive force.
Even the people next to Lin Han were so frightened that they subconsciously took two steps back.
However, Lin Han remained unmoved, and just calmly watched Misaki Subaru walk up to him.
Then, Subaru Misaki bowed his head respectfully to Lin Han.
“Please let me follow you and learn how to make truly delicious dishes!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around him looked at them with fear.
It was a shock like being struck by lightning!
You know, judging from reputation alone, Subaru Misaki is no less famous than the top ten in Totsuki Academy!
It’s not just because he has a terrifying talent for perfectly imitating other people’s cooking techniques and improving on them.
Furthermore, he is keen on using all means in the name of food battles.
Force others to eat with you and plunder their kitchen utensils.
Therefore, many people in Totsuki Academy are afraid of and hate Subaru Misaku.
Although there were many who were jealous of Lin Han.
But compared to Lin Han, Subaru Misaki brought a shadow to them.
It was truly like a mountain, making them feel as if they couldn’t breathe!
But Lin Han not only defeated Subaru Mimasaka, but also severely crushed his fighting spirit!
He even convinced Subaru Misaki and made him want to follow him and become his younger brother.
This kind of thing, like a collision between Mars and the Earth, was something they could never have imagined in their dreams!
Lin Han was also slightly stunned, and then he returned to his calm and composed look.
“I don’t want to have any followers. If you have your own cooking path, I welcome you to come and learn from me at any time.”
“However, since you have recognized yourself, there is no need to do those things again.”
Think about it, he is the most capable subordinate of Eiyama Ezuya.
Eishan Ezuya originally wanted to send Mimasaka Subaru to find out his own strength, but if he knew that he would conquer Mimasaka Subaru instead.
He would probably beat his chest and stamp his feet, feeling extremely upset.
As for the idea of ​​recruiting younger brothers, many people would be tempted by it.
But for Lin Han, it is not of much use.
His goal is to be at the top of the culinary world.
Therefore, his path is to constantly compete with others in food battles to improve his culinary talent.
He is not interested in the troublesome task of recruiting followers.
Although Lin Han was afraid of trouble, many people around him had a deep misunderstanding of his words.
“I understand, Brother Lin Han. When I get back, I will return all the looted kitchen utensils to their original owners!”
Subaru Mimasaka promised sincerely.
In the classroom, there were also some students who had once competed with Misaku Subaru in food battles under his coercion.
Then, their kitchen utensils were taken away by Subaru Misaki.
Now that they heard that Subaru Mimasaka was willing to return it, they were also very happy!
His attitude towards Lin Han also suddenly changed.
“I didn’t expect Lin Hanjun to be such an upright person!”
Some people expressed their feelings.
“My cooking skills are also very good, probably to a level that I will never be able to catch up with in my lifetime.”
“And he’s handsome…”
Some girls looked at Lin Han, and their eyes seemed to be full of stars.
[Ding——The host has successfully gained the respect of the students of Totsuki Academy. 】
[Get extra rewards of 200 popularity points and 200 points. ]Hearing the system’s prompt, Lin Han raised his eyebrows slightly.
Even as smart as he was, it was hard for him to think of the reason for his remarks because he was afraid of trouble.
It can actually change the image of yourself in other people’s minds!
However, facing this small fortune that came out of nowhere.
Naturally, Lin Han chose to accept it all without hesitation.
At this moment, Teacher Roland Chapelle had gradually calmed down.
Looking at the peaceful scene in front of him, he nodded slightly.
“In that case, classmate Lin Han, I also have an invitation, and I hope you can accept it.”
Teacher Shaper suddenly spoke to Lin Han.
【37】An invitation from Mr. Schapper! (1st update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
Lin Han was slightly stunned, then turned to face Teacher Shaper.
“What’s going on, Mr. Schapper?”
Although Roland Chaper has returned to his usual serious and meticulous appearance.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Han was filled with the gentle kindness of an elder.
Lin Han thought it shouldn’t be a bad thing.
“Soon, the new students of Totsuki Academy will begin residential training, and I will be a teacher who will participate in this residential training.”
“So I would like to invite you to be my assistant during this residential study.”
Teacher Roland Chapelle said.
“What!”
“Teacher Shaper actually asked Lin Han to be an assistant for the residential study program?”
“Student Lin Han is just a freshman who has been in school for a few days. How could he be so valued by Teacher Shaper?”
“What are you thinking about? Lin Hanjun is the one who defeated my predecessor long ago.”
The people around looked at Lin Han with either envy or admiration.
Lin Han didn’t expect to get such an unexpected result.
However, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.
So he nodded.
“Thank you Mr. Shaper for the invitation. I will try my best.”
Hearing Lin Han’s agreement, Teacher Shaper seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Great, I thought you wouldn’t agree.”
The joking tone was enough to show how much Teacher Shaper valued Lin Han.
The cooking practice class ended with such an unexpected happy ending.
After class, Lin Han, the leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society, was also on his way to the Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
As a local school in Neon Country, Totsuki Academy also has clubs of all sizes.
They are all based on various types of gourmet cuisine.
For example, Lin Han’s Chinese Cuisine Research Society and the Local Cuisine Research Society that Tanomo Kei joined.
After class every day, various clubs will hold their own meetings to exchange cooking experiences.
Or develop new dishes together.
Before Lin Han arrived, the Chinese Cuisine Research Society’s food research was affected by Kuga Teruki’s arbitrariness.
In a way, there is some scarcity.
But as a Chinese, Lin Han knows Chinese cuisine like the back of his hand.
Therefore, after Lin Han joined, the Chinese Cuisine Research Society began to truly develop in a positive and vigorous direction.
This is also the reason why Lin Han wants to take over the Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
Although in Totsuki Academy, Lin Han is proud of his unparalleled talent in Chinese cooking.
But if other people join in the research on Chinese cuisine.
Discussing together can also provide yourself with a lot of inspiration and new directions.
Only by constantly exploring new ideas can we develop new directions.
Lin Han’s cooking skills will continue to improve.
Along the way, Tanosuke Kei, who was traveling with him, saw that there was no one else around and spoke fluently.
“Lin Hanjun is really amazing. He was able to improvise and make that dish in less than half the time.”
“And he even beat Subaru Mimasaka, who has a perfect tracking talent.”
“Chefs shouldn’t be too rigid about cooking. You know, cooking is the most prone to accidents among all professions.”
“Therefore, a good chef must have excellent adaptability.”
Tadokoro Megumi nodded.
“Lin Hanjun is right. I will definitely work hard. Speaking of which… I have to thank you for successfully passing Mr. Shaper’s test today.”
Speaking of which, Tansho Kei felt a little ashamed when Lin Han was making the Hellfire Beggar’s Chicken.
I just helped in a small way.
“But Lin Hanjun seemed a little different from usual.”
Tansho Kei said as she looked at Lin Han, whose temperament had become gentle and calm again.
When Lin Han was making the Hellfire Beggar Chicken before, he looked like an invincible tyrant.
Every word seemed to be spoken with unparalleled confidence and arrogance.
“Yeah.”
Lin Han smiled and didn’t explain.
When Lin Han was making the Hellfire Beggar’s Chicken just now, it was not entirely done by his own cooking skills.
Instead, he used Jie Lu’s cards and completed the dish through Jie Lu’s innate skills.
Therefore, Lin Han’s personality at that time was very similar to Jie Lu’s.
The reason why I chose to use Jie Lu’s cards instead of Lan Feihong’s cards.
This is because Xie Lu’s character seems rough, but in fact he is meticulous.
For Lin Han, who needs to recreate a perfect dish in a very short time.
It can be said to be very suitable.
Moreover, the Hell Flame Beggar’s Chicken dish, just by hearing the name, is also more suitable for Jie Lu.
This is also the reason why Lin Han chose to solve the Luka card.
As for Subaru Mimasaka, he had planned to part ways with Eishan Ezuya as soon as class was over.
Lin Han also specifically asked Subaru Misaku to convey a message for Ruishan Zhizu on his behalf.
I wonder if Eishan Ezuya was furious when he heard this?
When Lin Han thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Eizan-senpai, have your clumsy yet cautious probing tricks given you enough confidence to accept my food battle challenge?”
Facing the upcoming residential training, Lin Han has already planned to speed up the pace and force Eishan Ezuya.
As soon as possible, compete with me in food battle with the position of the top ten as the stakes!
【38】Non-spicy Sichuan cuisine! Boiled cabbage! (2nd update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
When Lin Han arrived at the Chinese Cuisine Research Society, the members, including Kuga Teruki, were already waiting for his arrival at the venue.
“President.”
Although he is a senior, he is facing Lin Han, who has taken away his position as the leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society with his strength.
Kuga Teruki, however, does not act like a senior at all.
His attitude towards Lin Han was even somewhat respectful.
“President Lin Han.”
Kuga Teruki’s attitude also affected other members.
His attitude towards Lin Han also began to respect him from the bottom of his heart.
After all, they were also present on the day of the Food Battle and saw with their own eyes how Lin Han defeated Kuga Teruki with an overwhelming advantage.
When it comes to Chinese cuisine, Lin Han not only has an outstanding talent, but his strength is also far superior to everyone else.
Lin Han nodded and calmly sat down in the seat arranged for him by Hisagi Teruki and the others.
“President, these are some of the recipes that the Chinese Cuisine Research Society has collected and compiled since its establishment.”
Kuga Teruki handed a pile of materials to Lin Han.
These are some original Chinese cuisine recipes that he had carefully sorted out today, which he thought would be of great reference value to Lin Han.
However, after Lin Han looked through the menu, he frowned slightly.
“These recipes do have some research value, but—”
When they heard Lin Han’s “but”, Kuga Teruki and the other members knew that what Lin Han was going to say next might not be a compliment.
And the fact was just as they expected, Lin Han changed the subject.
“But these dishes are too monotonous. I just took a quick look and they are all spicy Sichuan dishes.”
“because……”
Kuga Teruki wanted to explain something.
“Sichuan cuisine is indeed one of the representative cuisines of Chinese cuisine, but no matter how much you like it, it cannot represent all Chinese cuisine.”
“Spicy dishes can indeed stimulate people’s appetite, but Sichuan cuisine also has dishes other than spicy.”
Hearing Lin Han’s words, Kuga Teruki was stunned.
“Is there any Sichuan dish that is not spicy?”
Sichuan cuisine, which is famous for its spicy flavor, can actually be non-spicy? This is simply refreshing to him!
“Of course.”
When it comes to Chinese cuisine, Lin Han talks incessantly.
“For example, have you ever heard of boiled cabbage?”
Kuga Teruki was stunned again.
“This dish is a modified dish invented by a Sichuan cuisine master. It uses Chinese cabbage as the main ingredient, supplemented with a clear broth made from various meat bones and minced meat.”
“The dish is fresh and elegant, the soup is rich, yet refreshing and not greasy.”
After hearing Lin Han’s description, many members, including Kuga Teruki, imagined the delicious taste of extreme complexity and simplicity, and the return to perfection.
I swallowed involuntarily.
“There is also the Shaobai, which is fat but not greasy, fragrant but not oily, sweet and sour, and the fish-flavored shredded pork with seasonings…”
Lin Han spent more than an hour explaining the charm of Chinese cuisine to his members.
Even Teruki Kuga, who has always believed that spicy flavor is the best representative of Chinese cuisine.
After hearing the latter part, I couldn’t help but nod repeatedly.
“I understand, President.”
The look that Kuga Teruki gave Lin Han was filled with not only respect but also a bit of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
This was not only an admiration for Lin Han’s profound knowledge, but more importantly, he felt Lin Han’s heartfelt love for Chinese cuisine.
Seeing that everyone accepted his “popularization of knowledge”, Lin Han also began to formally arrange the future direction of culinary research.
What he wants to do is not just to promote Chinese cuisine to people who don’t know about it.
And truly promote Chinese cuisine.
“Oh, by the way, President, there is one more thing.”
Kuga Teruki remembered something.
“The academy has recently launched a spring club food carnival event. Do we want to participate?”
“What kind of activity is that?”
“It’s like a school management simulation activity.”
Kuga Teruki scratched his head and said.
“Each club will freely open a cooking shop after class to sell their own dishes according to their own cooking theme.”
“It is said that at the final settlement, the club with the best sales will receive financial support from the academy, and can also apply for equipment upgrades.”
“The format is similar to the Moon Feast in the fall semester, except that it’s smaller in scale and lasts longer.”
After listening to this, Lin Han nodded.
“I see. Such activities are useful to the Chinese Cuisine Research Society, so we naturally want to participate.”
“However, we should take advantage of these few days to research some new dishes.”
Kuga Teruki nodded, agreeing with Lin Han’s words.
Then, he thought of something.
“This time, Ruishan will also devote his full energy to participate in this event, right?”
There seemed to be something implied in Kuga Teruki’s words.
But Lin Han seemed not to hear it and just smiled faintly.
“After school, everyone must come here and study new dishes together.”
An unfathomable smile flashed in Lin Han’s eyes.
After the meeting, Lin Han returned to Polaris Dormitory, only to find Yukihira Hajime squatting at the door in a listless manner.
Yoshino Yuuki, Tadokoro Megumi and others were surrounding him, scolding him.
“If you are not sure of winning, don’t make big promises.”
“It’s not easy for even Lin Hanjun to win this kind of competition.”
“How dare you compete with others in a food battle? How arrogant you are!”
【39】Unique insights! Mastery upgrade! (Subscribe!) (Old version)
“What happened?”
Lin Han stepped forward and asked.
“Lin Hanjun, you’re back. That’s great.”
Yoshino Yuuki said happily, and even Tadokoro Megumi looked relieved.
“It was this guy who went to participate in some rice bowl research group and ended up facing that scary woman Mito Yumei.”
“This guy even agreed to a food battle challenge from his opponent. The competition will start in three days, but he hasn’t even thought of the dishes for the competition yet!”
Mito Yumei…
Lin Han was slightly stunned, then remembered this incident.
Mito Izumi was originally a capable subordinate of Erina Nakiri, and possessed an outstanding talent in cooking meat.
Not only does she have the sheer brute strength to easily cut through all kinds of meat, she also has a very good understanding of the texture of each type of meat.
What’s even more terrifying is that she can feel the temperature of the food with her lips.
The degree of accuracy can be said to be exact!
“But I can’t ignore the contemptuous attitude she showed towards Donburi.”
“And I won’t lose to her in cooking.”
Soma Yukihira shouted in protest, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Yuki Yoshino.
“It would be fine if it was just a simple competition of cooking skills, but do you know what Mito Yumei’s family does?”
“The ‘Mito Meat Products’ run by her family is the leader in the beef industry. All kinds of high-quality meat are at her fingertips!”
“They can easily buy a piece of A5 grade beef, but you can only buy beef at a half-price discount in the supermarket!”
The constant scolding made Soma Yukihira, who was usually a calm person, hold his head in pain.
He looked like he was saying, “Stop scolding, stop scolding, I’d think you’d reflect on yourself.”
“Lin Hanjun, do you have any ideas?”
Tansho Keiya asked Lin Han worriedly.
“Yeah, if this guy fails in this food battle, he will be expelled from school.”
Yoshino Yuuki also said to Lin Han.
Lin Han thought about it.
“If A5 grade beef is cooked by Mito Yumei, it will melt in your mouth.”
Generally speaking, the low-quality, cheap supermarket beef cannot surpass this naturally superior taste.
“Even Lin Hanjun can’t do anything about it…”
Yoshino Yuuki said somewhat disappointedly.
“That’s not the case.”
“I wonder if you’ve ever heard of Chaliapin Steak?”
When Soma Yukihira heard Lin Han’s words, his eyes lit up.
“Oh! Is it the Japanese-flavored, super tender steak?”
Lin Han nodded.
“Yes, this dish can use inferior leg meat. By breaking the tendons and beating them, and then marinating them with onions, the steak becomes very tender.”
“I think the taste will be as good as the A5 steak from Mito Ume.”
Soma Yukihira nodded frantically, indicating that he agreed with Lin Han’s statement.
“However, even if the taste is comparable to A5 beef, it is not easy to beat Mito Yumei.”
When Yoshino Yuki heard Lin Han’s words, she couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Is there anything else I should pay attention to?”
Lin Han looked at Soma Yukihira and said.
“The most important thing about cooking is not the ingredients, or even the exquisite cooking skills, but the love and care that goes into the dish.”
“Souma-kun, you should understand what I mean, right?”
Soma Yukihira was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood Lin Han’s meaning and nodded firmly.
“I understand! Thank you for your tip, Lin Hanjun.”
Lin Han smiled indifferently.
“It’s just a small matter.”
“Lin Hanjun is so handsome and nice.”
Yoshino Yuuki seemed to be obsessed with Lin Han.
Even when Tansho Kei looked dodgingly at Lin Han, there seemed to be twinkling stars in her eyes.
However, these tips, which were of great help to Soma Yukihira, were just casual suggestions to Lin Han.
He has more important things to do right now.
After saying goodbye to Soma Yukihira and others, Lin Han returned to his room.
Taking a slow and calm breath, Lin Han closed his eyes and immersed himself in the system.
A dark blue light curtain spread out before my eyes like water waves.
Then, countless Chinese characters appeared on it, just like a system interface.
Lin Han directly clicked on the “Owned Cards” column.
There are already two cards in it, Lan Feihong and Jie Lu.
Lin Han’s gaze stayed on the interface of Lan Feihong’s card.
【Card Name: Lan Feihong】
[Level: S-level][Proficiency level: Intermediate]There is also a line of small words in brackets following it: Popularity points can be used to upgrade mastery.
The level of proficiency will determine the extent to which the card owner can utilize the card character’s culinary skills when using the card.
As a qualified dragon chef, Lan Feihong is good at cooking a wide range of dishes.
Before Lin Han obtained other cards, the Lan Feihong card could be said to be particularly important to Lin Han.
“Upgrade your mastery.”
Therefore, Lin Han used all the remaining popularity points without hesitation to improve his proficiency in using Lan Feihong cards.
[Ding——Upgrading Lan Feihong’s card proficiency for the host, current progress: 10%. ][After the upgrade is successful, the host’s mastery of Lan Feihong’s cards will be upgraded to advanced, unlocking +30 dishes. ]Three days later, Lin Han, Tansho Kei and others went to watch the food battle match between Yukihira Soma and Mito Izumi.
Originally in the original work, the first food battle that the protagonist Soma Yukihira took on at Totsuki Academy should have been a grand one.
Not only was the stadium packed, even one of the top ten players, Erina Nakiri, came to the stadium to watch the game.
But now, although the venue is also arranged in the Shokugeki Academy’s special venue.
But there were only a few hundred people sitting in the seats around the venue.
Erina Nakiri did not come to the stadium as Lin Han remembered.
Although the result is still Soma Yukihira, its tender texture can be compared to A5 steak.
Compared to the A5 steak, which only pursues taste and flavor, the Chaliapin steak has a more human touch and is more complete in overall cooking properties.
Won this food battle.
However, the sensation caused by this food battle at Totsuki Academy was far less intense than the one caused by Lin Han and Kuga Teruki.
Therefore, apart from Mito Ume being forced to join the Donburi Research Club, it seems that the entire Totsuki Academy was not affected in any other way.
In addition to the Spring Food Carnival five days later, an uninvited guest came to Lin Han’s Chinese Cuisine Research Society store.
It was Erina Nakiri, the eldest daughter of Totsuki Academy, who was known as the Divine Tongue.
[40] Raising an army to hold the culprit accountable! The unruly Erina! (4th update, please bookmark! Please give me flowers!) (Old version)
When discussing with Teruki Kuga the direction of the next dish to be developed by the Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
The store they rented received an urgent message that Erina Nakiri was visiting.
Based on Lin Han’s understanding of this young lady’s temper, he believed that things were far from as simple as he had imagined.
Given how picky Erina Nakiri is about cooking and her pride as a young lady.
I wouldn’t just visit this kind of school club store.
Then there are only two possibilities.
A test or a provocation.
No matter which one it is, it is related to Lin Han.
Lin Han also held the idea of ​​fighting the enemy with his own troops and blocking the water with earth.
Go and see what this young lady is trying to do.
As he expected, as soon as he entered the store, he saw Erina Nakiri sitting on a chair in the store.
Commenting on the new dishes developed by Lin Han and Kuga Teruki.
“The meat was cooked for more than three seconds, and the salt ratio was not right.”
“When you eat this kind of food, it feels like dancing with gorillas in Africa.”
It is still the unique “God’s Tongue” commentary.
“Excuse me, sir, are you dissatisfied with the food in our restaurant?”
Looking at the young member standing trembling in front of Erina Nakiri, Lin Han stepped forward in time to save him from the dire situation.
In his view, Lin Han at this moment seemed to have holy light all over his body!
“Oh, I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be the most popular person in the school recently.”
Erina Nakiri raised her purple eyes, which were as pure, flawless, and noble as violets, and looked at Lin Han.
Half of his face was playful, while the other half was filled with deep interest.
Facing Erina Nakiri, who was exuding an obviously unfriendly aura, Lin Han pretended to remain calm.
“I heard that the Chinese Cuisine Research Society had developed new dishes, so I was curious and wanted to come and try them.”
“But it seems that it is not as delicious as I imagined.”
Erina Nakiri curled her long golden hair that fell on her shoulders with her fingers, looking like she was looking for trouble.
Lin Han took a look at the food in her hand.
“This dish has just been developed, and it’s not perfect in every aspect yet. It can’t satisfy the tongue of God, so it’s a bit of a stretch.”
Hearing Lin Han’s words, Erina Nakiri sneered.
“Giving unfinished dishes to customers? Is this the sincerity of your restaurant…”
“Erina Nakiri, what do you want?”
It was the first time that Erina Nakiri heard a peer call her by her name so boldly, and she couldn’t help but be stunned.
“You are here for Mito Yumei’s matter, right?”
Lin Han revealed Erina Nakiri’s purpose in one sentence.
In fact, it was at the instigation of Erina Nakiri that Mito Izumi wanted to take over the Donburi Research Society.
This naturally arrogant young lady is just like the villains in many works, constantly crushing others with her strength.
To plunder the resources and status of other clubs in Totsuki Academy.
And in a way, Mito Izumi’s defeat was a slap in the face to Erina Nakiri.
Given Erina Nakiri’s personality, she would naturally start investigating the whole matter.
It is only natural to suspect Lin Han.
Although she was surprised that Lin Han had seen through her purpose in such a short time, Erina Nakiri quickly returned to her normal state.
“Indeed, you must have had a hand in the reason why Mito Yumei lost the food battle against that person named Yukihira Soma.”
This sentence was said in an affirmative tone.
Obviously she had already determined that Lin Han was involved in this matter.
“I just can’t stand it, when someone denies the value of another thing just because of their own judgment, that’s just such a dictatorial act.”
“You’re still as arrogant as ever.”
“It’s rare that the young lady can remember my personality so clearly.”
Lin Han smiled slightly and said docilely.
Erina Nakiri was stunned.
“Stop being so arrogant!”
Realizing that her voice had unconsciously risen a little, Erina Nakiri coughed lightly.
“How about this, you will cook me a dish that you have just developed. If you can satisfy me, I will pretend that the matter of the Donburi Research Club never happened.”
“Then what good is that to me?”
Lin Han folded his arms indifferently.
“Anyway, young lady, you and I have been at odds for a long time. It doesn’t matter whether this incident happened or not.”
“On the contrary, Miss is clearly looking for trouble. If you want to enjoy satisfactory food from me, shouldn’t you show some sincerity?”
“You bastard!”
Hisako Arato, who had been following Erina Nakiri, was about to scold Lin Han.
But Erina Nakiri waved her hand to stop him.
“Lin Hanjun, you are really a very interesting person.”
Erina Nakiri looked Lin Han up and down, with a hint of interest in her eyes.
“What conditions do you want?”
“If I can prepare dishes that satisfy Miss, then please increase the funding for the Chinese Cuisine Research Society and upgrade the equipment of the research society.”
Lin Han didn’t hesitate and said directly.
Erina Nakiri is the most beloved granddaughter of the great demon king Totsuki and one of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki.
In Totsuki Academy, he has absolute authority.
“Oh, and if the young lady is satisfied with the dishes I made.”
“Miss, please help promote our research club’s store as much as possible during the carnival.”
Lin Han gave Erina Nakiri a rather hearty smile, and the latter was stunned for a moment, then felt her heartbeat inexplicably quicken.
There is Lin Han’s own fame, plus the recommendation of Erina Nakiri.
By then, even Lin Han couldn’t imagine how prosperous the Chinese Cuisine Research Society’s business would be.
“Okay, as long as you can cook dishes that satisfy me, I will agree to both of these conditions.”
Waving her hand to stop Hisako Arato who was trying to dissuade her, Erina Nakiri looked at Lin Han and smiled provocatively.
“Since this is a dish specially made for me, I get to decide the ingredients, okay?”
(Regarding inheritance, it is not actually an experience card, which will be explained later!)
【41】Extremely delicate! West Lake beef soup! (Please collect and give flowers!) (Old version)
Given the profoundness of Chinese cuisine, even if Erina Nakiri wanted to go to great lengths to make things difficult for Lin Han with the ingredients.
That’s just in vain.
Lin Han has this confidence.
Erina Nakiri seemed to be aware of this as well. She walked into the kitchen and took a look.
“The ingredients here seem to be just cheap stuff.”
Lin Han replied calmly.
“If you want to make a delicious dish, the most important thing is not expensive ingredients.”
Erina Nakiri glanced at him and laughed.
She raised her hand and brushed her long golden hair in front of her.
“Since you can teach Soma Yukihira that his cheap beef is better than Mito’s A5 steak.”
“Then make me a Chinese dish involving meat today.”
“But I hope you know that satisfying my tongue is more difficult than defeating Mito with cheap steak.”
There was a vague threat in Erina Nakiri’s seemingly calm voice.
“Meat dishes, huh? I see.”
However, Lin Han just rolled up his sleeves calmly.
“Please wait outside, my lady. The delicious food will be served soon.”
Hearing the intention to expel her from Lin Han’s words, Erina Nakiri snorted, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
However, she immediately found a table near the kitchen window and sat down.
The seemingly arrogant and disdainful eldest lady was secretly watching Lin Han’s actions through a window that was only a foot wide.
She wanted to see how this guy could use low-quality ingredients to create high-quality and delicious dishes.
Lin Han naturally noticed the gazes behind him, but at this moment, his entire mind was immersed in cooking.
“It’s a good time to try out the new dishes in the upgraded Lan Feihong card.”
Erina Nakiri had been staring at Lin Han, thinking she was being watched unnoticed.
Lin Han raised his hand and started cooking.
He also chose beef, but the tenderloin part.
“This is the tender meat near the sides of the spine. It tastes a little more tender than meat from other parts of the body.”
“Do you want to achieve tenderness from the texture of the meat itself?”
Erina Nakiri guessed secretly in her heart.
Lin Han picked up the cooking knife at hand and spun it beautifully in his hand like a sword flower.
Obviously, many skilled chefs can do this move, but when Lin Han does it, it feels more stylish and handsome.
The sharp blade cuts open the tenderloin along the grain, slicing the palm-sized piece of meat into even slices thin enough to let light see through.
If you put the meat under the light, you can clearly see the texture of the meat slices with the naked eye.
Lin Han’s movements were also very quick. After the entire piece of beef was cut, not a single piece of meat was stuck to the blade.
You know, the cooking knife used by Lin Han is closer in shape to the Chinese sword than the chef’s knife commonly used in Japan.
Such a knife not only has a wide blade, but also easily causes the meat to stick to the blade when cutting meat.
But when Lin Han was cutting the meat, no such accident occurred.
Because his movements were so fast and efficient, the ingredients in his hands were like docile sheep, ready to be manipulated by him.
I originally thought that the meat cutting step ended here, but I didn’t expect that after the whole piece of beef was cut into thin slices.
However, Erina Nakiri saw Lin Han pick up the knife again.
“Do you want to cut it further? If you cut it any further, it will just become shredded meat, which is then ready for stir-frying…”
“Wait, what is he doing, is he chopping stuffing?”
With her eyes wide open, Erina Nakiri looked at the scene in disbelief.
Lin Han’s calm and quick knife skills quickly cut the meat slices into uniform shreds of length, size and thickness.
Then, Lin Han chopped it into minced meat!
The bright red beef kept turning under the knife, like chewy dough dyed with color.
Lin Han’s blade was constantly poking at the flesh, and Erina Nakiri, who had excellent eyesight, could see it clearly quickly.
Lin Han accurately picked out some white fascia from the flesh.
“The texture of the fascia is too tough, although it would be a bit of a pleasure to chew if put in a normal situation.”
“But if you want a delicate and soft taste, these fascia will become an obstacle to the taste.”
“But it’s amazing that you can pick out these fascia so accurately…”
Although Lin Han’s knife skills do not look very fancy, they contain a dexterity and exquisiteness that hides skill in clumsiness.
Erina Nakiri has fully felt it.
Soon, the beef was chopped into delicate, bright red meat puree.
Lin Han began to prepare other ingredients.
“Tofu, ginger slices, green onions… Is this… bamboo ginseng?”
Looking at the snow-white thing like a retina in Lin Han’s hand, Erina Nakiri showed a somewhat surprised expression.
This ingredient can be said to be an iconic Chinese ingredient. It is not only fragrant and delicious, but also has an extremely crispy and tender taste.
Even Erina Nakiri, who possesses the divine tongue, tasted bamboo ginseng for the first time.
I can’t forget the taste of this ingredient.
The snow-white bamboo ginseng, along with tofu and other ingredients, were cut into small pieces of even size by Lin Han.
The fresh and delicate minced meat is stirred with additional egg white, making the minced meat, which looks as dense as quicksand, even softer.
The minced meat with egg white is added directly into cold water. As the water temperature gradually rises, the minced meat that is constantly stirred seems to have merged with the water.
“There is no graininess at all. How can the minced beef be so delicate?”
Seeing the meat paste spread out more smoothly than she had imagined, Erina Nakiri was extremely surprised.
Then, the tofu, bamboo ginseng and other ingredients, which were also cut into small pieces, were put into the pot one by one.
Lin Han stirred the ingredients in the pot with a large spoon, his eyes particularly focused, as if he was wiping a precious national treasure.
After the water boiled, Lin Han added salt and pepper seasonings to the pot.
The wet cornstarch is used to thicken the dish to increase the thickness of the dish.
Afterwards, the minced meat and other ingredients were poured into a bowl containing egg whites and stirred quickly but not chaotically by Lin Han.
The clarified egg white is stirred by the heat and becomes like flying catkins.
“Sorry for the wait, West Lake Beef Soup, please enjoy!”
Sprinkling with chopped coriander as a final decoration, Lin Han brought the dish to Erina Nakiri.
【42】The charm of cooking! The beauty sheds tears! (2nd update, please bookmark!)) (Old version)
“soup?”
Erina Nakiri has some understanding of this dish that is neither soup nor porridge.
She originally thought that Lin Han would definitely use similar methods as Soma Yukihira and Mito Izumi.
A meat dish prepared by frying or grilling.
However, she didn’t expect that the dish Lin Han presented to her was actually a… soup?
but……
“It smells so good…”
Niida Hisako couldn’t help but admire.
She is good at medicinal cuisine and has a special liking for light-flavored dishes.
Although she had no idea what Lin Han was cooking, the rich but not greasy aroma still intoxicated Nido Hisako.
“cough……”
Erina Nakiri’s cough brought her back to her senses.
“Is this what you cooked?”
Erina Nakiri asked Lin Han, and the latter nodded.
Because of its texture, the taste of beef is not as delicate as other types of meat, but there are ways to change it.
“If you want to make it tender, besides relying on its own quality, frying it with onions or making it into meat soup are both good choices.”
West Lake Beef Soup is a representative dish of Hangzhou cuisine in China.
The method is simple, but the taste is rich and smooth. It is usually served as a throat-soothing appetizer.
The original side dishes for this dish were mushrooms and tofu, but the overall taste was considered.
Lin Han replaced the shiitake mushrooms with bamboo ginseng, which not only made the soup taste more delicious but also made it smoother.
“My lady, please use it.”
Lin Han asked the members to bring a bowl and spoon to Erina Nakiri and made a gesture of invitation.
Erina Nakiri, who had long been attracted by the aroma, also recalled the explosive feeling of surprise she felt the last time she ate Lin Han’s cooking.
Although she couldn’t wait any longer, the proud young lady still acted reserved.
“Then I’ll give it a try and see what’s so special about your beef soup.”
Pick up the bowl and the steam hits you in the face.
Japan has always liked food that is cooked to just the right temperature, and Chinese food, even something like this beef soup that looks very light in taste, is especially popular.
The heat can also make people feel the unique warmth of Chinese cuisine.
Erina Nakiri didn’t hate this feeling.
The bright red beef becomes slightly lighter in color as it is cooked at high temperature.
But when covered with crystal gravy, the beef looks like it has a crystal clear and smooth luster.
The snow-white tofu trembled slightly with the spoon, which made Erina Nakiri think of the food battle between Lin Han and Kuga Teruki.
The dish was a perfect combination of ice and fire, with the tender feeling described by the judges as “melting in the mouth”.
The flying egg white looks like snowflakes, and because of the stirring, it reveals a natural sense of fluidity.
The green chopped green onions and coriander make the seemingly light soup look a lot brighter.
Erina Nakiri slowly blew on the beef soup in the spoon until it was cool enough to eat, and then put it into her mouth.
“This feeling…”
Erina Nakiri, who originally wanted to close her eyes and savor the first bite, suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise.
“What’s wrong, Erina-sama?”
Niida Hisako asked hurriedly.
“It slid down.”
Erina Nakiri was still a little dazed. She stared blankly at the beef soup in the bowl and said.
Rather than melting in your mouth, it is actually smoother than silk.
As soon as it entered my mouth, it slid into my stomach along the tip of my tongue!
Only the delicious taste mixed with the aroma of beef and bamboo fungus lingers on the tip of the tongue, tempting the greedy worm in the body.
Erina Nakiri couldn’t help but scoop up another spoonful.
“It’s even smoother than jelly pudding. If you’re not careful when tasting it, the delicious taste will quickly slip away from your mouth.”
“It only leaves a frustratingly delicious taste, as if regretting that the aroma stayed on the tip of the tongue for too short a time.”
“The beef is so smooth that even if you taste it carefully with the tip of your tongue, you can only feel the fine texture like fruit puree.”
“Add the crispy and tender texture of the fragrant and delicious bamboo fungus and the tofu that melts in your mouth.”
“After one bowl, my whole stomach is filled with a warm taste, but I still want another bowl!”
Erina Nakiri spoke faster and faster, and while she was talking nonstop, she had already eaten all the beef soup in the bowl.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Miss taste food so quickly…”
Niida Hisako was also extremely surprised.
“This beef soup makes you feel like you are standing by a clear and boundless lake, watching the snow-capped mountains in the distance gradually melt away.”
“The breeze rustles the green treetops, and every sip brings a sense of vitality.”
“The rich and delicate beef is really satisfying!”
After eating two bowls in a row, Erina Nakiri suddenly opened her eyes and exhaled long and slowly.
The sparkling purple eyes flashed as if they had discovered a treasure.
And her cheeks seemed a little too rosy than before.
I don’t know if it’s because of the heat from the food or some other reason.
“I didn’t expect that such a light dish could be cooked to such an extent that it would shock people from the bottom of their hearts.”
Erina Nakiri looked at Lin Han with complicated eyes.
This West Lake beef soup is not as delicious as the golden ratio steamed buns we had before.
Bring a powerful impact to Erina Nakiri.
But it gave her a plain yet warm feeling from the bottom of her heart that made her want to cry.
Until the tasting was over, Erina Nakiri sat there, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
It was as if I was trapped in distant memories.
“Lady Erina, are you… okay?”
Erina Nakiri was suddenly awakened from her dream by the worried question from Hisako Arato.
“you……”
Erina Nakiri looked at Lin Han, opened her mouth, but couldn’t utter a word.
Lin Han smiled as if he had expected it.
“I wonder what the young lady thinks of this dish?”
Erina Nakiri was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Han, and then looked at the empty bowl that she had eaten up to the last drop.
His ears turned red.
“Hmph, even if the food you made is barely to my liking, forget about Mito’s matter.”
Erina Nakiri rolled her hair as if trying to hide something.
【43】Newbie vs. Ace! Reversal of results! (3 more chapters, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“In that case, then the funds and equipment we agreed on before…”
“Don’t worry, I, Erina Nakiri, will keep my word. In a couple of days, you will receive approval once you submit the relevant application.”
“What about the publicity for the carnival?”
“I’ll let Hisako do this, too.”
When Erina Nakiri suddenly called her name, the feeling of being valued made Hisako Arato suddenly excited.
“I will do my best to complete your instructions, Lady Erina!”
“Anything else?”
Erina Nakiri looked at Lin Han.
“It’s okay. If Erina-san wants to try any other dishes, we will do our best to satisfy your requests.”
Erina Nakiri didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Lin Han’s smile at this moment looked like a kind of smugness after success.
“Forget it, there’s no point in staying any longer, let’s go, Feishazi.”
“Yes, Erina-sama.”
Lin Han said slowly as he watched Erina Nakiri about to leave.
“If Erina-san wants, you can come to our store next time.”
Hearing Lin Han’s words, Erina Nakiri paused slightly in her departing steps.
Then, as if deliberately pretending to be calm, he left from Lin Han’s sight.
The members around him looked at Lin Han with admiration.
“President, you are so amazing. You can conquer the legendary tongue of God with just one dish!”
He was also secretly observing Lin Han cooking in the store, and he thought that the light dish made by Lin Han would only make Erina Nakiri sneer at him.
But we didn’t expect that when this dish was served, the aroma alone would intoxicate everyone.
After that, he even conquered the extremely picky God’s Tongue!
Lin Han smiled, but his tone was extremely serious.
“The taste of a dish depends on how much effort one puts into it.”
“Don’t treat cooking casually. It’s an insult to a chef.”
The member hastily apologized.
“Yes, I’m sorry, President. I’m too superficial.”
At the same time, he admired Lin Han even more in his heart.
“In another hour, today’s business will be over.”
Lin Han looked at the sky outside thoughtfully.
Although there were quite a few customers coming to the store today, there was still a certain gap between what Lin Han had expected.
The reason why this happens.
One is closely related to the arrival of Erina Nakiri.
As soon as this proud young lady came in, she shocked many people present with her noble aura like that of a queen.
Moreover, it was obvious that Erina Nakiri was here to cause trouble, so those who just wanted to taste the food slipped away early.
The remaining reason is that in Totsuki Academy, various food clubs are indeed flourishing.
In order to attract customers, various clubs are scrambling to launch new dishes, which increases the difficulty of competition in attracting customers.
“It seems that there are indeed hidden talents in Totsuki Academy.”
Lin Han smiled and said.
An hour later, Eishan Ezu also received the report from his subordinates.
“Manager, today Mozuya has the highest number of meal coupons among all the club-run stores.”
“Among them, our fried chicken nuggets received 357 meal coupons.”
Eishan Ezu also looked through the statistics and nodded with satisfaction.
Mozuya’s fried chicken is a signature dish developed by Eizun Eizun.
It is not only crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but also has a delicious taste that will leave you with an endless aftertaste.
Plus, it’s a convenient fast food, compared to those fancy dishes that take time and effort to prepare.
It is easy to win the favor of diners.
The settlement method of this carnival at Totsuki Academy is very similar to the Moon Festival in autumn.
Diners participating in the carnival will use meal coupons with the themes of “plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum” as consumption tokens.
After 6 pm every day, the school will calculate the number of meal coupons to settle the sales of each club’s store.
The top three club stores with the most meal coupons are the TOP3 for the day.
Moreover, this carnival is not just in the form of rewards.
If the store you run is constantly making losses, you may be expelled at any time.
However, for Eizun Eizun, who is one of the ten outstanding people and focuses all his attention on business affairs.
It is easy to win the first place in this kind of food carnival.
“How did the Chinese Cuisine Club rank today?”
Eizan Ezuya asked.
“They are in second place today. Their signature dishes are Mapo Tofu and Mouth-watering Chicken. They got 130 votes less than our Mozuya.”
The subordinate reported.
Eishan Ezu also gave a smile that looked somewhat gloomy and complacent.
“Is this your strength, Lin Hanjun? It seems that you are just so-so.”
Originally, after Subaru Misaki betrayed him, Eishan Ezu felt a strong sense of crisis.
And his natural intuition told him that Lin Han would definitely take advantage of this food carnival to fight back against him!
But now it seems that Lin Han and Kuga Teruki’s Chinese cuisine.
It’s still not as well-received as the fried chicken nuggets from their own long-established Mozu-ya restaurant.
With this thought in mind, Eishan Ezu gradually felt relieved.
However, the turn of events was like a roller coaster.
Maybe in the next moment, one will experience the feeling of falling from the top of the clouds to the foot of the mountain.
The very next day, Eishan Ezu also received news that shocked him.
Lin Han and Kuga Teruki’s Chinese restaurant surpassed their own Mozu-ya with an advantage of more than 327 votes and remained in first place!
【44】Great Universe Shaomai! Enjoy! (4th update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
Although I know that Lin Han and Kuga Teruki will definitely launch new dishes in order to increase sales.
But the speed of this change seems a little unexpected?
Ruishan Ezu also sent people to inquire about the news as soon as possible.
The answer he got made him furious, but he could do nothing about it.
“Erina Nakiri… How could she be working with Lin Han?”
Given how famous Erina Nakiri is in the academy and even in the culinary world.
The restaurant promoted by her will seem to have created a strong star effect in the school.
People who were not originally interested in Chinese cuisine now trust the taste of God’s Tongue.
Everyone will rush to taste it.
So the next day, the sales of Lin Han’s Chinese restaurant showed a crazy growth trend, and even surpassed himself!
However, although Lin Han overtook him with an absolute advantage, Ruishan Ezu was not very worried.
“The only two capable people in the Chinese Cuisine Research Society are Lin Han and Kuga Teruki.”
“With so many customers in the restaurant all of a sudden, Lin Han and Kuga Teruki will definitely not be able to take care of them all.”
“And the Chinese food made by their members is definitely not as good as the fried chicken nuggets at Bai Niao Tongue House.”
“The diners in this academy are all gourmets who are more picky than cats. It only takes one day for them to recognize the true strength of a Chinese restaurant.”
“Tomorrow, tomorrow, the Bird’s Tongue House will definitely be back on top!”
Eishan Ezu also thought confidently.
However, on the third day, the results of the sales settlement surprised Eishan Ezuya.
The sales of Chinese restaurants still rank first.
And compared to yesterday, it surpassed Mozu-ya by more than 150 votes!
“What the hell is going on!”
Eishan Ezuya’s face turned completely pale.
Not only that, Mozuya’s sales also dropped a lot, nearly 80 fewer tickets than yesterday.
“I heard it’s a Chinese restaurant. They introduced new dishes and attracted a new group of customers.”
The subordinate reported tremblingly.
“What about the previous diners?”
Eishan Ezuya asked angrily.
The man looked even more cowered.
“He and they are also eating the new dishes at the Chinese restaurant.”
Day 4, in front of a Chinese restaurant.
Before the store opened, two lines like long black dragons had formed in front of the store.
“Lin Hanjun, what dishes do you have today?”
Seeing Lin Han walking towards them at a leisurely pace, some people in the crowd couldn’t wait to greet him.
Among them are familiar faces such as Yoshino Yuuki and Aoki Daigo.
They were the customers who came to the restaurant on the first day, and then were attracted by the new dishes introduced by the Chinese restaurant, so they became regular customers.
“Yesterday it was shrimp risotto, the day before yesterday it was golden steamed buns, and today, what delicious new dish is going to be?”
Yoshino Yuuki asked excitedly.
“Of course. Seeing so many people coming today, in order to avoid everyone waiting anxiously, shall we make a dish that will satisfy everyone?”
Everyone began to wonder if they had heard it wrong.
Everyone?
“Student Lin Han, you are right, right? We have nearly a hundred people here.”
One student asked hesitantly.
Lin Han nodded, his calm smile showing absolute confidence.
“Yes, I am talking about everyone. Please wait and see.”
As he spoke, Lin Han signaled the members who came with him to go to the store to help.
“I’ll come too.”
Teruki Kuga, who rarely comes to the store with us, also seems very excited.
This is the dish that Lin Han proposed at a previous Chinese Cuisine Research Society meeting.
After hearing his idea, everyone felt that it was an almost impossible task.
However, after Lin Han’s explanation, all members of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society accepted Lin Han’s idea.
Long before the carnival began, they would practice this dish repeatedly in the club’s cooking room after every day’s meeting.
After last night’s adjustment, I finally got Lin Han’s recognition.
This dish can be taken out and cooked for guests!
All the ingredients had been prepared and preliminarily processed by Lin Han, Kuga Teruki and others the night before.
After dozens of repeated practice, the members including Kuga Teruki followed Lin Han’s instructions and completed each step meticulously.
“The dough needs to be kneaded a little harder to make it smoother and chewier.”
“The meat can be pounded for a little longer so that the umami flavor of the ingredients can be more easily stimulated after heating.”
While cutting the meat, Lin Han kept his eyes and ears open.
Under his arrangement, everything went on in an orderly manner.
As the steamer, which was nearly six or seven people wide, was placed on the stove, white mist also poured out from the back kitchen.
“Wow, I’ve never seen such thick fog. Is there a fire in the kitchen?”
“What on earth are Lin Han and the others doing? Are they going to blow up the kitchen?”
“I think I can smell the aroma inside, can you smell it?”
In the bustling crowd, everyone was communicating, but no one was willing to leave.
An hour later, a huge steamer with white mist rising from it was carried out from the kitchen by Lin Han and several members of the cooperative.
The weight of this thing can be seen from the somewhat strained expressions of several members.
“Lin Hanjun, is this today’s new dish?”
Yoshino Yuuki asked.
Lin Han, looking quite relaxed, smiled and nodded, motioning for others to open the lid together.
In an instant, a sweet aroma of pastries mixed with the fresh smell of meat and billowing hot steam wafted out.
It makes you feel like you are next to a hot spring with delicious food right at your fingertips.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please enjoy the Big Universe Shaomai!”
[45] Swallowing the mountains and rivers! Ruishan Great Crisis! (1st update, please collect! Please give flowers!) (Old version)
In the huge steamer, a giant siomai with a diameter beyond imagination appeared in front of everyone.
“Big Universe Shaomai?!”
“Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen such a big noodle dish!”
“How do I eat this?”
Before Lin Han brought out the dishes, everyone was still questioning whether he could come up with dishes that would truly satisfy everyone’s appetite.
But after seeing the big universe siomai in front of him.
No one doubted his statement anymore.
The appearance of the Big Universe Shaomai is just like its name.
It is so powerful that it can swallow mountains and rivers and contain the sea and stars!
More importantly, it’s not just that it looks huge.
The air is also filled with the sweet fragrance of flour and the freshness of meat.
“The filling used in this big universe siu mai is a whole pig.”
While everyone was astonished and tempted by the aroma of siu mai, they were eager to eat it, but didn’t know where to start.
Lin Han stepped forward in time and explained to them.
“Leg meat, tenderloin, shoulder meat, pig skin, stomach, kidney… every part is completely hidden in the siu mai.”
“You can use chopsticks, or a knife and fork, to select the part you like to taste.”
After hearing its introduction, people couldn’t wait to gather around with their tableware.
Yoshino Yuuki, who was squeezed in the front, was the first to pick up a piece of siumai with her fork and put it into her mouth to chew.
“This piece… is pork tenderloin!”
The light and tender taste made Yoshino Yuki open her eyes wide.
“Although the meat is moderately seasoned with sauce, it does not destroy or mask the umami flavor of the pork itself.”
“It’s light and pleasant, and it fully brings out the tenderness of the tenderloin!”
Hearing Yoshino Yuki’s praise, the others, who were already craving for food, quickly took a piece of siumai with their cutlery and started to taste it.
“Mine is the thigh part of pork!”
“The pork here is pounded countless times and then steamed to bring out the umami flavor of the pork.”
“The leg meat itself has a certain chewiness. When you chew it, you can not only feel the springy texture of the meat, but also the delicious sauce. You can’t stop eating it!”
Before he finished speaking, the people next to him couldn’t wait to express their feelings.
“And this is a pig’s scalp!”
“The skin and tendons of the pig’s head, which was handled very cleanly, were more chewy than I had imagined.”
“When you take a bite, you can almost feel the elasticity of the pig skin swaying against your teeth like water waves.”
“At this point, you only need to apply a little more force, and you can feel the wonderful bite of your teeth sinking into this elastic crystal skin.”
“The sauce also fully penetrates into the meat under the pig skin. The more you chew, the more you can smell the sweet and lingering aroma.”
Every time different parts of the Big Universe Shaomai are tasted, they will bring completely different tastes to the taster.
“I see. The whole pig is hidden inside this siu mai and then wrapped in dough.”
“It’s like a chaotic universe, and within it, all the energy of the entire universe’s life forms is hidden!”
A customer who was originally concentrating on tasting the food crazily wiped the gravy from the corner of his mouth and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, the guests who participated in the tasting finally understood the meaning of this “Great Universe Shaomai”.
“Lin Hanjun is really amazing to be able to think of making this kind of dish!”
“Yeah, it’s amazing that the pastry can be made so big and still taste so good.”
“Chinese cuisine is as good as it gets!”
Hearing everyone’s endless praise, the members of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society hugged each other excitedly and laughed.
Even Lin Han was smiling faintly.
Soon, everyone in Totsuki Academy heard that the Chinese restaurant had made a super-giant and delicious siomai.
They all came to watch out of curiosity.
Lin Han also asked the members to take out the disposable plates that had been prepared earlier, cut the Big Universe Siu Mai into pieces, and put them on the plates.
Take it to the diners to taste.
Although later generations were not able to witness the true appearance of the Great Universe Shaomai with their own eyes.
But after seeing the appearance of the Big Universe Shaomai from the complete photos taken by others, they exclaimed heartfelt admiration.
The entire Chinese restaurant looks no different from restaurants in China and is filled with a harmonious and lively atmosphere.
However, as several people walked into the store, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
“Senior Ruishan, I am honored to be here. I wonder if you have any advice for me?”
Lin Han was sitting on the side observing the reactions of the diners around him, while secretly thinking about improving the dishes based on their comments.
I saw Eizun Eizun walking into the store.
Ruishan Zhizuya, who also saw the outstanding temperament of Lin Han at first sight, gritted his teeth secretly.
“I heard that the Chinese Cuisine Research Society’s Chinese restaurant was very successful, so I came to take a look…”
It was originally just a casual opening remark, but Ruishan Ezuya didn’t expect Lin Han to interrupt him.
“If you have seen the success of the Chinese restaurant and want to cooperate with us, Senior Ruishan can go back.”
Eishan Ezu also choked, and a hint of anger appeared in his gloomy eyes.
“Lin Hanjun, do you have awe for your seniors?”
“If you want the younger generation to respect you from the bottom of their hearts, you have to first consider whether you are qualified, Senior Ruishan.”
Lin Han put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Ruishan Ezuya with calm and contemptuous eyes.
“I remember that since the second day of the carnival, the top restaurant in the academy has changed from our senior’s Mozu-ya to our Chinese restaurant.”
“I heard that the senior has been winning the championship in these previous activities.”
“I was surpassed by a junior in just one day. It seems that Senior Ruishan’s ability is not that good.”
After hearing Lin Han’s words, Ruishan Zhizu also secretly clenched his fists.
Even though he knew that Lin Han’s words were meant to deliberately provoke him.
But as one of the top ten, Eizun Ezuya also has his own pride.
Faced with such provocation, even he could not suppress the rage in his chest!
【46】Betting with the title of the top ten! (2nd update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“Lin Hanjun, I know your purpose very well, so I came here today to end things with you.”
A hint of viciousness and calculation flashed in Eishan Ezuya’s eyes behind the lenses.
Hearing the tension in his words, the originally bustling Chinese restaurant fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other and felt the smell of gunpowder in the air.
The fact that Eiyama Ezu, one of the top ten, would actually appear here was enough to surprise everyone.
Some people who had been to the scene when Lin Han and Kuga Teruki were fighting.
He even witnessed with his own eyes Lin Han’s invitation to Eishan Ezuya to a food battle.
Although in their hearts, the balance of victory is more inclined towards Eizun Ezuya.
But who doesn’t like to watch the fun?
What’s more, Lin Han is also the one who defeated Jiuwo Zhaoji.
In the ranking of the top ten, Kuga Teruki’s ranking is one place higher than Eishan Ezuya.
Therefore, once the two really compete, it is still unknown who will win.
“Oh? What is Senior Eizan planning to do?”
Lin Han smiled nonchalantly, as if he was completely unaware of the gunpowder in the air.
His casual attitude made Ruishan Ezu feel emotionally unstable, and his mentality seemed even more childish and ridiculous.
Ruishan Zhizu also took a deep breath and suppressed the fluctuating emotions that were growing.
He looked at Lin Han and spoke every word.
“As one of the ten best, I will challenge you to a food battle.”
“If you lose, the Chinese Cuisine Research Club will belong to me from now on, and you will be expelled from Totsuki Academy forever.”
Eiyama Ezuya’s words seemed to drop a bombshell on the crowd.
“What? Let Lin Han drop out of school!?”
“Then we will never be able to eat the delicious food made by classmate Lin Han again, right?”
“Even the position of the top ten is on the line. Is Senior Ruishan so confident that he can beat classmate Lin Han?”
The noisy discussions around him did not disturb Eishan Ezuya.
He raised his chin with a proud look, waiting for Lin Han’s answer.
“How about it, Lin Hanjun, do you dare to fight me in a food battle?”
He had always been led by Lin Han, so much so that Ruishan Zhizu was also worried about the business of his restaurant.
At the same time, he also had to consider Lin Han’s next move.
And now, when the invitation to the food battle came from Eiyama Edatsuya’s mouth himself.
Eishan Ezuya also felt inexplicably relieved.
Although he still had deep fear of Lin Han.
But the reason why Ruishan Ezu dared to challenge Lin Han to a food battle this time was naturally that he had made all the necessary preparations.
And Lin Han really thought the same as he did.
“Since it was Senior Ruishan who proposed it, I would naturally be happy to compete with you.”
Lin Han still looked calm and indifferent, even though Ruishan Ezu finally challenged him to a food battle as he wished.
He didn’t show any overly volatile emotions.
Lin Han’s calmness made Ruishan Zhijin feel that he was inexplicably suppressed in terms of momentum.
“In that case, let’s use ‘explosion’ to determine the winner of the competition. What do you think?”
Without waiting for Lin Han to answer, Ruishan Zhizu immediately spoke.
“I heard that there are many dishes using the ‘frying’ method in Chinese cuisine. I guess Lin Hanjun is quite good at this.”
There was a strong sense of provocation in Eishan Ezuya’s words, which made Lin Han narrow his eyes slightly.
“Ah, then let’s do as Senior Eizan said. I don’t mind.”
“Then I’m looking forward to your performance. See you at the stadium in three days.”
Having achieved his goal, Ruishan Zhizu gave Lin Han a cold look, then turned and left the Chinese restaurant.
As soon as he left, Yoshino Yuuki and other friends from Polaris Dormitory who had a good relationship with Lin Han immediately surrounded him.
Yoshino Yuuki was even more worried as she scolded Lin Han.
“Lin Hanjun, why would you want to agree to a food battle with Senior Ruishan? He is not as easy to deal with as you think!”
“Because my current goal is to be one of the top ten.”
Yoshino Yuuki was stunned.
“The first few of the top ten are rarely seen in the academy. Otherwise, I would like to go directly to compete with the first one.”
For a moment, Yoshino Yuuki couldn’t tell whether he was confident or arrogant.
“In short, Senior Ruishan is not as easy to deal with as you think. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Senior Isshiki.”
“He and Senior Ruishan are from the same class. Senior Isshiki knows Ruishan’s strength better than us.”
“Even if you can’t see the top ten, at least the ones at the bottom, uh…”
Originally I wanted to say that among the last few of the top ten, besides Eishan Ezuya, Lin Han also has other possible targets for food battles.
However, when Yoshino Yuuki wanted to give an example, she found that the object of this food battle was not so easy to choose.
The eighth seat, Teruki Kuga, who had already lost to Lin Han once, is now in the Chinese Cuisine Research Society with Lin Han.
It was naturally impossible for Lin Han to seize the position of one of the ten best people from Kuga Teruki.
The seventh seat, Isshiki Hui, has a good relationship with Lin Han in Polar Star Dormitory, although Senior Isshiki does not seem to care about his position among the top ten.
Just because they are friends, Lin Han would not challenge Isshiki-senpai to a food battle.
The sixth seat, Kinokuniya Nene, and the tenth seat, Nakiri Erina, are both girls.
It seems that Ningning Ki-no-kuni has a close relationship with Isshiki Kei and Kuga Teruki.
With this calculation, it seems that the only person who can be the target of a food battle is Eiyama Ezuya.
Lin Han smiled, and his eyes seemed to reveal a meaning of “I’ll tell you what I am saying”.
Yoshino Yuuki slumped her shoulders in frustration.
“Well, have you thought about what kind of food to use for the food battle, Lin Hanjun?”
[47] Isshiki Hui’s reminder! The dirty tricks are frequent! (3 more, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“certainly.”
Seeing Lin Han smiling and nodding, he seemed very confident in the food he prepared.
Everyone felt relieved.
“Can you tell me, Lin Hanjun?”
Daigo Aoki moved closer to Lin Han.
“Well, I think it’s better to keep it secret for now.”
After that, no matter how Yoshino Yuuki asked, Lin Han did not tell them his plans.
Although the business of the Chinese restaurant was slightly affected by the arrival of Eizun Ezuya.
But in the settlement of the day, there was a Chinese restaurant that made novel and delicious dishes like the Big Universe Shaomai.
Still, it won the day’s sales victory with an undoubted advantage.
In another seven days, the food carnival will come to an end.
In the evening, when Lin Han returned to Polar Star Dormitory, Isshiki Hui called him to Marui Zenji’s room with a loudspeaker.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Lin Han discovered.
Not only Isshiki Hui, but also Tadokoro Megumi, Yukihira Soma, Sakaki Ryoko and others were in the room.
Look at them staring at me with such serious expressions on their faces.
Lin Han also guessed that they probably heard about the food battle he and Eishan Ezuya had agreed to have.
“I just heard from Yuuji that you, Lin Hanjun, accepted Eizan’s invitation to the food battle?”
Isshiki Hui still had that look of squinting his eyes and smiling faintly, but this smile seemed even more superficial than usual.
Lin Han did not give a direct answer, but said directly.
“Isshiki-senpai, are you planning on stopping me?”
There was an utmost determination in his tone, even a hint of coldness.
It was as if if anyone wanted to stop him, he would remove the obstacle.
Even Isshiki Hui was stunned by such a cold tone.
After coming to his senses, Isshiki Hui shook his head.
“I don’t intend to stop you, because I believe you have the strength to challenge Eiyama Ezuya.”
Hearing Isse Hui’s sincere tone, Lin Han’s tone softened.
“Since Senior Eizan has taken the initiative to challenge me to a food battle, there is no need for me to refuse, right?”
Isshiki Hui nodded and motioned Lin Han to sit down first, as he had something else to say to him.
“Then what are your chances of defeating Ruishan?”
“Not much, maybe 100%.”
Lin Han sat down and said casually.
“100%?!”
Soma Yukihira and Yuki Yoshino blurted out in surprise, and even Megumi Tadokoro and others covered their mouths in surprise.
However, Lin Han’s calm appearance showed that he was not arrogant, which was why he dared to say such confidence.
Even Isshiki Hui nodded.
“In terms of strength, you are not inferior to Eizan Ezuya and Kuga Teruki, but since Eizan dares to challenge you in a food battle, there is no guarantee that he will not have other intentions.”
“As early as the first year, Eizan was famous in Totsuki Academy for being able to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.”
“Isshiki-senpai, what do you mean…”
The thoughtful Tansho Kei was the first to understand the meaning of Isshiki Kei’s words, and the others also reacted.
If, even though he thought he did not have much chance of defeating Lin Han, Eizun still chose to compete in a food battle with Lin Han.
There’s no guarantee that he won’t use dirty tricks!
“Once, Ruishan wanted to cooperate with a restaurant, but was rejected.”
“And just half a month later, the restaurant lost a large number of customers because of problems with the ingredients.”
“The store manager almost went bankrupt, and finally had no choice but to sell the store to Ruishan to take over.”
Although Isshiki Hui did not mention what role Eishan Ezuya played in the bankruptcy of the restaurant.
But when he brought this matter up at this moment, he was naturally confident enough to believe that this matter was inseparable from Eishan Ezu.
“How abominable!”
Soma Yukihira clenched his fists.
Isse Hui looked at Lin Han seriously.
“The reason why Eizun Ezuya proposed the Shokugeki competition to you at this time is that he must want you to focus on the Shokugeki competition and not have time to run the Chinese restaurant in the future.”
“Also, once I succeed in forcing you to drop out of Totsuki Academy, your Chinese restaurant will never be better than Mozuya in Eizan without you.”
Lin Han nodded, indicating that he agreed with Isise Hui’s statement.
“Also, you have to be careful during these three days. Eizan might do something behind the scenes to win this food battle.”
“I understand, rest assured, Isshiki-senpai.”
Lin Han smiled, his eyes revealing strong confidence and determination.
No matter what kind of conspiracy and means Eishan Ezu used.
He will definitely secure his place among the top ten!
Seeing that Lin Han had made up his mind, Isise Hui nodded and said nothing more.
“By the way, Isshiki-senpai, how do you think Eizan-senpai’s cooking skills compare to yours?”
Before leaving, Lin Han asked Isise Hui one last question.
Isshiki Hui, who was originally smiling, suddenly faded a lot after hearing Lin Han’s words.
He opened his eyes, which were as blue and deep as the sea, and looked at Lin Han seriously.
“Eizun Ezuya is known as the ‘Alchemist’ because of his superb cooking skills.”
“As for his true strength, I can only tell you if he doesn’t spend too much time on running the restaurant.”
“His position among the top ten should be much more than this.”
Yoshino Yuki and others who originally had confidence in Lin Han became depressed again after hearing Isshiki Hui’s words.
But Lin Han seemed not to be affected at all and returned to his dormitory.
After washing up, Lin Han sat on the bed.
After the restaurant closed today, Lin Han arranged the matters for the next few days with Teruki Kuga and handed over full responsibility to Teruki Kuga.
He was concentrating on preparing for the food battle against Eiyama Edatsuya.
Isshiki Hui was right. Even if Lin Han’s strength was not inferior to Ruishan Zhizuye’s, it was impossible for masters to be absolutely infallible when fighting each other.
Therefore, Lin Han also needs to start preparing his own competition dishes.
“There are countless varieties of dishes that can be fried, and Eizan is a master at deep-frying dishes.”
“Lan Feihong’s cuisine is delicate yet elegant, while Xie Lu is good at making noodles.”
“Noodles…”
Lin Han’s mind moved, and he opened his strongest food god system and scrolled directly to the bottom.
His eyes were fixed on Jie Lu’s card.
[48] ​​Unlocked again! Steel Stick Xielu’s level has been upgraded! (1 update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
[Card Level: S-level]Similarly, below the Jie Lu card, there is a line of words: You can use popularity points to upgrade your mastery.
Before the food carnival began, Lin Han used all his accumulated popularity points to upgrade Lan Feihong’s card.
The popularity that had been squandered was unexpectedly successful due to the operation of a Chinese restaurant.
Lin Han’s popularity, which had already been dwindling, actually increased a lot again.
Especially after taking the top spot in sales for three consecutive days, Lin Han gained additional popularity points.
His popularity now is enough to upgrade another Jie Lu card with an intermediate proficiency level.
Lin Han decisively clicked the upgrade button.
[Ding——Upgrading the host’s mastery of unlocking Luka cards, current progress: 15%. ][After the upgrade is successful, the host’s proficiency in Jie Lu card will be upgraded to advanced, and 30 dishes will be unlocked. ]Listening to the prompt sound in his head, Lin Han sat cross-legged on the bed, like a monk meditating, waiting for the card upgrade to be completed.
[Ding——Congratulations to the host, your card unlocking proficiency has been upgraded to advanced level, and 30 additional dishes have been unlocked. ]After the upgrade was completed, Lin Han immediately checked the unlocked dishes.
“Golden ratio siu mai, shadowless noodles, special seven-color dumplings…”
At this moment, in Lin Han’s consciousness, the methods, intentions, and essence of every dish that Jie Lu had ever made seemed to be deeply imprinted in his soul.
This gives you a sense of familiarity that comes only from cooking a dish thousands of times in person.
This is something you can only experience after you upgrade to a high level of proficiency.
Lin Han even asked himself to cook right now.
He can also make dishes that are exactly the same level of perfection as those made by Jie Lu himself!
Lin Han kept looking for the dishes he needed on the menu.
Eishan Ezuya proposed deep-fried dishes as the theme for this food battle, and he must be very confident that he can win this competition.
And in Lin Han’s memory, Ruishan Zhizu also did have his own unique talent for fried dishes.
At one point, the sales of Momotsugaya’s dishes far exceeded those of other clubs’ signature dishes, “fried chicken nuggets.”
It was designed by Eiyama Ezuya.
And Isshiki Hui’s previous comments on Eishan Ezuya also made Lin Han more serious.
Although he has been constantly suppressing Eiyama Ezuya in order to make him agree to a food battle with him, he is trying to provoke Eiyama Ezuya.
But Eishan Ezu is, after all, one of the true top ten, and his cooking skills are by no means worthless.
“That’s it.”
Seeing a dish that suits his taste, Lin Han’s eyes lit up slightly.
The dish in front of him not only in form, but also in appearance and taste, all of which were exactly what Lin Han had expected.
After deciding on the dishes, Lin Han immediately entered the virtual kitchen and began to practice cooking for tonight.
On the other hand, after proposing a food battle challenge to Lin Han, Eiyama Ezuya was also practicing his cooking.
In the oil pan with tiny bubbles boiling, the ingredients wrapped in a layer of snow-white batter are processed into a size that is just right for eating.
After being wrapped in high-temperature hot oil, the batter quickly turns into a golden, tender, thin and crispy crust.
A unique aroma of fried products mixed with the umami flavor of the ingredients themselves.
It spreads in front of the cooking counter.
Eishan Ezuya’s eyes hidden behind the lenses were as gloomy and difficult to discern as ever.
He said nothing, but silently used the incredibly long chopsticks with skill and dexterity.
Stirring the ingredients in the pan.
The fried food is taken out and the excess oil is absorbed by oil-absorbing paper.
If there was a second person present, he would definitely exclaim.
The ingredients floating in the oil pan became docile under the chopsticks in Eiyama Ezuya’s hand.
And Eishan Ezuya’s movements are also calm and graceful.
Just like his title, an alchemist.
Looks magical and beautiful!
“Manager.”
The door was pushed open and someone walked in.
“I asked you to find out Lin Hanjun’s whereabouts. What was the result?”
When mentioning the name that he hated and feared, Eishan Ezuya’s voice was a little cold.
“Lin Hanjun just went to buy some ingredients and put them in the Chinese restaurant. Before he left, he said something to Kuga Teruki.”
“Then Kuga Teruki told the others to put the ingredients in a separate place, and the food in the restaurant later did not use these ingredients.”
“Those ingredients should be specially prepared by Lin Hanjun for this food battle.”
Eishan Ezu also turned off the stove on the kitchen counter.
“What are they?”
“Some vegetables and seafood. There are quite a lot of varieties.”
“seafood……”
Eishan Ezu also narrowed his eyes.
“Tomorrow is the day of the food battle, right? Lin Hanjun is really trying hard to win this food battle.”
“His cooking skills are indeed qualified to be one of the top ten.”
“However, it’s still eight hundred years too early to covet my position.”
A hint of coldness flashed across Eishan Ezuya’s eyes.
“After the restaurant closes tonight, you will do as I say. Remember, don’t let anyone find out.”
The man nodded and left the room again.
Eishan Ezu also smiled.
“Lin Hanjun, before you dream of becoming one of the top ten, let me, as your senior, teach you a lesson first.”
【49】The Storm Before the Game! Between the Moon and the Sky! (2nd update, please bookmark!!) (Old version)
When she woke up early in the morning, Tansho Kei had a bad feeling.
“Lin Hanjun, is it really okay to just leave those ingredients at the restaurant?”
On the way to the Chinese restaurant to pick up ingredients, Tanosuke Hui said to Lin Han.
The latter looked completely unconcerned.
“The restaurant is under the watch of my seniors during the day, and the door is locked at night, so there will be no problem, don’t worry.”
“But……”
Tanosuke Kei seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Maybe I was just thinking too much. Tanaka Hui secretly comforted herself in her heart.
However, when they arrived at the door of the Chinese restaurant, they felt something unusual.
“Boss, something terrible has happened!”
When a member saw Lin Han coming, he looked nervous and wanted to cry.
The smile that always hung on Lin Han’s lips completely faded, making his face look serious and stern.
Even Tanomo Kei was shocked when she saw the broken door lock and the mess in the kitchen.
“What happened? Did a thief come in?”
The member shook his head and looked at Lin Han’s expression cautiously.
“Someone must have come and pried open the door lock of the store at midnight yesterday.”
“The other ingredients in the kitchen were not damaged, only the ones the president bought yesterday…”
Without any further words, Lin Han and Tian Suoke already understood what he meant.
All the ingredients that Lin Han bought yesterday were probably destroyed.
“That’s too much!”
After being shocked, even the usually good-tempered Tansho Kei felt some real anger rising in her heart.
“In order to win, Senior Ruishan would actually go to such lengths to do anything!”
Originally, in Tanomo Megumi’s mind, the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki were all real chefs with powerful cooking skills.
Even if some of them have strange personalities, they would never think of using such despicable means to seek victory!
Compared to Tanosuke Hui who was obviously a little angry, Lin Han was unusually calm.
After checking the ingredients I bought, I realized there was no chance of saving them.
“So, are there any other ingredients in the store now?”
Hearing Lin Han’s question, Tanosuke Hui was stunned.
“Lin Hanjun, are you still planning to participate in the Food Battle?”
“Why not?”
Lin Han asked her back.
“But, but your ingredients…Eizan Mae…Eizan Ezuya did this, he must want you to not be able to participate in the competition at all!”
In less than thirty minutes, the food battle will begin.
Even if you have to run, you can rush to the nearest supermarket to buy new ingredients.
It’s too late!
If you fail to arrive at the competition venue to verify your identity within the agreed time, you will be automatically deemed to have forfeited.
But if Lin Han doesn’t even have the ingredients to cook, it would be the same as losing.
And once he admits defeat, Lin Han will leave Totsuki Academy forever!
When she thought of this, Tanosuke Hui was so anxious that she was about to cry.
However, Lin Han, who should have been more anxious than her, still looked calm and composed.
“Since he wants me to lose, then of course I have to win in front of him.”
Lin Han smiled and walked into the kitchen.
Megumi Tadokoro and the members hurriedly followed him.
“Flour, beef, eggs…”
Looking at Lin Han who was picking and choosing among the pile of surviving ingredients, as if he really intended to use these ingredients to participate in a temporary competition.
Tanaka Kei was worried.
“Lin Hanjun, is this really okay?”
“Well…I think so.”
Lin Han smiled at Tian Suoke.
Thirty minutes later, Totsuki Academy moved into the official venue built for the Shokugeki Competition.
“Good morning, everyone from Totsuki Academy. I am the host of this Shokugeki Contest, Kawashima Rei!”
The energetic and beautiful girl wearing the student uniform of Totsuki Academy and looking full of energy is greeting the students who have come to watch the competition.
Her sweet appearance and voice caused the boys to cheer and made the girls present secretly grit their teeth.
As the host of many food battle competitions in Totsuki Academy, Kawashima Rei is also rarely seen.
It is truly incredible that so many people come to watch a food battle.
The huge stadium was almost full.
The last time the shokugeki competition was nearly packed was when Erina Nakiri, one of the top ten, and the president of the Chankona Research Club competed.
But it doesn’t seem to be as big a sensation as this time.
“Let me see. Wow, there are more people in the venue today than ever before.”
“Whose food battle could attract so much attention?”
“Next, let us invite the two contestants of this food battle.”
While secretly marveling at the number of people watching the show, Kawashima Rei delivered her opening remarks skillfully.
“First, it’s Senior Eizun Ezuya, one of the Ten Elites of Totsuki Academy, the ninth seat, who has the support of an alchemist!”
As the light curtain above the ceiling flashed the name of Ruishan Jiye, amid the boiling voices of the crowd, Ruishan Ezuya walked out of the dark corridor and came to the competition stage.
The term “Ten Greatest” means the strongest among the students of Totsuki Academy.
Moreover, the Ten Greatest Ones are not people you can easily see at ordinary times.
Therefore, when they saw Eiyama Ezuya appear, the already lively arena became even more boiling!
Kawashima Rei signaled the crowd to quiet down.
“Then, he is the latest celebrity in our Totsuki Academy. As soon as he entered school, he caused a big sensation on campus.”
“He also defeated Senior Kuga Teruki, who was in the eighth seat, and became the leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society. He is a Chinese student, Lin Hanjun!”
Each adjective was like a glorious medal of honor, which made Kawashima Rei very excited.
However, as Lin Han’s name came out of her mouth and was hit on the light curtain.
The conference hall, which had been almost boiling, suddenly became strangely quiet!
[50] Opening provocation! Go all out! (3 more, please bookmark!) (Old version)
I saw that it was in the opposite direction of the corridor that Eishan Ezu had walked out of before.
A figure also walked over.
A slender figure and a noble and handsome face looming in the shadows.
The well-tailored uniform made his figure look even more graceful.
Especially the noble aura that emanates from the bones.
It made his seemingly ordinary black hair and black eyes look like the standard of aristocracy.
When Lin Han’s figure was clearly projected on the big screen, the venue suddenly became quiet, and many infatuated girls couldn’t help but scream Lin Han’s name.
Afterwards, some people tasted Lin Han’s cuisine at the food carnival and were completely conquered by it.
I couldn’t help but support Lin Han.
There were also people who were jealous of Lin Han’s popularity and were secretly gritting their teeth, but at first glance, Lin Han’s voice seemed to be no less than that of Ruishan Ezuya.
The silence at the beginning was nothing more than their complicated feelings towards Lin Han, which made them not know how to react for a moment.
After all, the whole person was in Totsuki Academy, but on the first day, he was filled with hatred!
Then, an even more shocking scene happened.
Just as Lin Han walked onto the competition stage, the lights in a box on the second floor of the venue lit up.
This private VIP viewing box is incredibly large and can easily accommodate thirty or forty people at once.
The full-height floor-to-ceiling windows make it convenient for people inside to watch every detail of the game up close.
Except for Xiaobai, no one in Totsuki Academy does not know the identity of the owner of this box.
It was the queen of Totsuki Academy, Erina Nakiri who possessed the divine tongue.
“This food battle has even alarmed Lady Erina…”
Amid everyone’s surprised gaze, a graceful figure slowly walked into the box.
Sit down gracefully in the middle seat.
She has a queen-like temperament, golden hair, purple eyes, and a half-smile and disdainful look.
It’s Erina Nakiri!
Following behind her was her right-hand man, Niito Hisako.
Casually supporting one cheek, Erina Nakiri looked at Lin Han with interest, who was also looking in her direction.
In her mind, whenever she thought of Lin Han’s eyes that were as still as waves.
It would make Erina Nakiri feel a sense of fun.
“I’m betting my studies and my status on this challenge. I’m challenging Eiyama Ezuya, and I’m using my opponent’s specialty, fried food.”
“Lin Hanjun, let me see, in this food battle, will you return with a great victory or return with a defeat?”
As if he had heard what Erina Nakiri said, Lin Han raised a smile and turned to look at Kawashima Rei.
“Excuse me, can the game start now?”
Kawashima Rei, who was also shocked that Erina Nakiri would come to the venue, was brought back to her senses by Lin Han, and she hurriedly announced the start of the competition with a blushing face.
“Lin Hanjun, I didn’t expect you to dare to participate in the food battle?”
Just as he was about to pass by Lin Han, Ruishan Zhizu suddenly spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
The curve of Lin Han’s mouth widened a little.
However, this time, there was only a hint of coldness in that smile.
“Before you start boasting, please prepare a dish that can surpass mine, Rui Shan-senpai.”
Hearing Lin Han’s counterattack, Ruishan Zhizu also snorted coldly and strode towards his own cooking table.
“Eishan-senpai quickly took out the ingredients and started to prepare them. Judging from his expression, Eishan-senpai should be very confident about this competition.”
Kawashima Rei, who was in charge of the commentary, first chose to explain the cooking of Eiyama Edatsuya.
After all, he is one of the top ten, so sometimes his cooking skills may be far better than others.
“The ingredients that Eizan-senpai brought out look very rich, with vegetables and chicken. It looks like a fried dish that combines meat and vegetables.”
While cooking, Eishan Ezuya always had a gloomy look in his eyes.
Also became focused and serious.
Fresh chrysanthemum leaves, asparagus and other vegetables were processed one by one.
“Oh, it seems that Eishan-senpai’s method of preparing vegetables is very flexible and skillful.”
The reason why Kawashima Rei was so surprised was naturally because of the meat and some large crispy vegetables that better demonstrated knife skills.
It can perfectly process small and difficult-to-process ingredients such as chrysanthemum leaves and asparagus.
This is enough to demonstrate the chef’s mastery of the ingredients.
“The vegetables that Senior Eishan prepared are all light and delicious looking, and even the meat is top-grade A5 grade beef.”
“It is said that this kind of meat exudes a natural sweet meaty aroma.”
“It seems that Senior Eishan is really serious about this competition.”
Listening to Kawashima Rei’s endless explanation, Eishan Ezu, who thought it was too noisy, frowned slightly.
Although Lin Han’s ingredients were destroyed, Ruishan Zhizu’s cautious character made him believe that Lin Han might come up with a second plan.
What’s more, he wanted everyone in Totsuki Academy to open their eyes and take a good look.
What is the real strength of the top ten?
Therefore, Eiyama Ezu has already prepared to go all out to win this food battle!
【51】Fried food! Superb works of art! (4th update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
After admiring Eishan Ezuya’s vegetable picking skills for a while, Kawashima Rei turned her gaze to Lin Han.
“Then let’s take a look at classmate Lin Han… hm?”
Looking at the pile of ingredients that Lin Han took out from the bag at hand, Kawashima Rei, who was always experienced.
It seems to be stuck too.
“Flour, beef, eggs, vermicelli… they all look like very, very common ingredients, haha…”
Kawashima Rei laughed dryly twice.
However, he was secretly criticizing Lin Han’s selection of materials.
“They all look like cheap ingredients bought from the supermarket.”
“Isn’t it the same as the last time with Yukihira Soma? Are they all discounted cheap goods?”
“The reason why Yukihira Soma was able to beat Mito Yumei last time was because he cheated on the taste. This time he won’t be so easy to fool.”
Students in the audience were also discussing.
Also sitting in the audience, Yoshino Yuuki and others who came to watch this food battle also heard about what happened this morning from Tadokoro Megumi.
“This is too much. Just because you think you can’t win, you actually think of using such despicable means!”
Yoshino Yuuki said angrily.
“Are there any surveillance records?”
Sakaki Ryoko thought for a while and asked Tanomo Kei, but the latter shook her head.
“There was no surveillance, and time was tight. It would be too late even if we called the police.”
“What’s more, even if we know who did it, there is no evidence…”
Tanomo Megumi’s voice became lower and lower.
“And Lin Hanjun said that if there is anything, we should wait until he wins the food battle before making any plans.”
“What, it’s come to this, he still wants to win?”
Yoshino Yuki and Sakaki Ryoko looked in Lin Han’s direction in surprise.
The latter was adding egg white to the flour, looking like he was preparing to knead the dough.
“Use egg white directly to mix dough without using water?”
This is a question in many people’s minds.
Although there is such a saying, the best pastries do not require a drop of water.
Instead, egg white is used instead of water to knead the dough.
The dough kneaded in this way may indeed taste and texture better than the dough made with plain water.
But if you use only egg white to mix the dough, the flour itself will become more difficult to mix.
This increases the difficulty of kneading the dough and puts a greater test on the kneader’s skills.
However, under Lin Han’s actions, the flour was like a well-behaved child.
Gradually it changes from scattered to integrated.
The surface also gradually changed from rough to smooth as snow.
Even many experienced pastry chefs probably can’t achieve such strength and technique!
“It seems that the dish prepared by Lin Hanjun should be the type with a thicker crust, which will be a test for the preparation of the filling.”
Kawashima Rei said.
“Next, let’s take a look at Senior Ruishan’s side.”
“Okay, Eishan-senpai has finished processing the ingredients and looks like he’s preparing the batter.”
When it comes to fried foods, the first words that come to most people’s minds are naturally fast food, convenient, unhealthy, etc.
But for real chefs, fried food has its unique charm!
The crispy texture and the aroma of fat complement each other whether it is paired with vegetables or meat.
One bite and you’ll feel the delicious satisfaction on your lips and teeth.
Moreover, real fried food is definitely not unhealthy!
And Eishan Eizun, who is good at fried dishes, has always believed in this idea.
Today, I will never lose!
Her slender fingers picked up two sterilized eggs without knocking them on the stove.
Eishan Ezu also gently bumped the two eggs together with his fingers.
Snap——
With a slight cracking sound, the egg liquid flowed into the flour.
“Oh, Eishan-senpai, are you planning to make tempura?”
Kawashima Rei said excitedly.
Japanese people are no strangers to tempura dishes.
Compared to fried chicken and fried beef, these deep-fried dishes have a heavier taste.
Tempura, also a fried product, focuses more on the flavor of the ingredients themselves, and comes in a wide variety of varieties.
Even choose different vegetables according to different seasons.
For example, the ingredients chosen by Eizun Ezuya this time are spring chrysanthemum leaves, which are in season, and seasonal vegetables such as asparagus.
The carefully prepared A5 grade beef was also cut into small sizes and thicknesses suitable for swallowing in one bite under the exquisite knife skills of Eiyama Ezuya.
The delicate texture of beef, infinitely magnified through the big screen, appeared before everyone’s eyes.
There seemed to be countless sounds of swallowing saliva at the scene.
After processing all the ingredients, the next step is to prepare for frying.
Dip the drained vegetables into the batter.
Tempura batter does not emphasize wrapping up all the ingredients, but only a thin layer.
The emerald green vegetables are covered with a thin layer of snow-white clothes, like a graceful green woman wearing a white veil.
Then, the bright red beef was also covered with a layer of batter.
Taking into account the characteristics of the meat itself, Eishan Ezu also sprinkled an extra layer of cornstarch on the beef batter.
“Eizan-senpai is really good at deep-frying dishes.”
Both the ratio of the batter and the degree of batter on the ingredients can be said to be perfect.
To many laymen, frying food in batter is just a matter of putting the ingredients into the batter and coating them casually.
But the thickness of the batter also affects the taste of the finished product.
The batter on the ingredients under Eizun’s chopsticks is not only very even, but also just the right thickness.
Under the light, through the large screen, you can even clearly see the original appearance of the ingredients under the translucent batter.
For this step alone, few chefs can complete it to such an extent!
“Perfect, like a work of art.”
Sakaki Ryoko said blankly.
Although the others did not say anything, they couldn’t help but worry about Lin Han in their hearts.
Impeccable technique throughout.
Is this the true cooking skill of the legendary alchemist, Eiyama Edatsuya?
【52】Mistake, or intentional? (1st update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“Senior Ruishan is ready to start frying.”
After reporting the current situation, Kawashima Reiya subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin Han.
“It looks like Lin Hanjun is also preparing the filling.”
The dried mung bean vermicelli regained its elasticity and softness after being soaked in warm water.
The beef was cut into small pieces of appropriate size and marinated with seasonings.
“It seems that Lin Hanjun is planning to make fried cakes or something like that. Compared to Senior Ruishan’s tempura, the taste may be thicker and richer.”
But this kind of food can easily make people feel greasy.
Therefore, the frying time, oil temperature, and even the combination of the ingredients themselves are all rigorous tests.
Kawashima Rei turned her attention to Eiyama Ezuya.
Eishan Ezu had already set up the pot and was heating the oil.
A rich but not greasy aroma of oil, different from ordinary frying oil, diffuses as the fire heats up.
“Oh, this aroma, it seems that the frying oil used by Senior Ruishan is not ordinary frying oil.”
Eishan Ezu also pushed up his glasses and sneered in his heart.
“Is there a difference in frying oil?”
Daigo Aoki scratched his head.
“Of course there is, stupid.”
Yoshino Yuki, who is good at game cooking, also has a lot of experience in this area.
“Common frying oils for tempura include sesame oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, etc. Some stores also choose camellia oil and corn oil.”
“Different frying oils will give different textures and flavors.”
“For example, soybean oil has a rich and mellow flavor, safflower oil has a light and fresh taste, and rapeseed oil has a less distinct style and can better highlight the flavor of the ingredients themselves.”
Sakaki Ryoko listened carefully to what Yoshino Yuuki said and suddenly asked.
“So what kind of oil do you think Ruishan used?”
“When frying tempura, chefs usually choose between sesame oil, rapeseed oil, or safflower oil.”
Yoshino Yuuki hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“But if it was Senior Eishan, he would definitely mix the frying oil himself after selecting the ingredients.”
“This allows the ingredients to have the mellow taste of the frying oil while still maintaining their own flavor.”
The feeling of uneasiness in everyone’s heart grew even stronger.
“Is there so much to pay attention to when it comes to deep-fried tempura?”
Daigo Aoki scratched his head but could only mutter to himself.
It sounds simple to prepare the frying oil for tempura according to the ingredients used.
However, how to adjust the ratio between various oils based on the characteristics of the ingredients themselves is also a problem that troubles countless chefs.
However, Yoshino Yuuki was more worried about the problems that would occur afterwards.
“Each oil has different characteristics, and the oil point suitable for frying is also different.”
“If you mix your own frying oil, it’s two levels more difficult to find the best frying point than mixing frying oil.”
“If Senior Ruishan can really do this accurately…”
This means that Eiyama Ezu’s skills in deep-frying dishes are really reaching their ceiling.
“There’s no movement from Lin Hanjun yet. It looks like…”
Tanosuke Hui looked in Lin Han’s direction worriedly.
“Okay, the oil is boiling, and Senior Ruishan is putting the ingredients that need to be fried into the pot.”
“Ah – such a pleasant boiling sound is like a soothing tune in the afternoon.”
Kawashima Rei made an expression of ecstasy.
The batter on the surface of the food, wrapped in oil filled with boiling bubbles, expands rapidly under the catalysis of high temperature and becomes more translucent.
The originally snow-white batter turns into an appetizing light yellow due to the high temperature.
It looks crispy at first glance.
As the oil temperature rises, the hot steam rising from the pot makes people want to take a bite while it’s hot.
But at the same time, a stronger aroma of meat wafted from the other side of the competition stage.
“Wow, this fragrance…”
Kawashima Rei was unconsciously attracted by the delicious smell of meat and took a closer look.
“It’s the filling that Lin Hanjun is making!”
“The thick slices of marinated beef are grilled to fully bring out the flavor of the meat.”
Kawashima Rei unconsciously took a few steps forward, as if wanting to savor the rich fragrance more carefully.
The fried beef, along with other fillings, is wrapped in dough.
“Lin Hanjun’s hands are very fast. He wrapped three in the blink of an eye… What is this, a steamed bun?”
Kawashima Rei looked in amazement at the eighteen folds, all without exception, on the snow-white dough wrapped around the filling.
“It’s actually steamed buns? Is he planning to fry them?”
There was an uproar in the audience.
Even Erina Nakiri in the luxurious box was a little surprised.
“Is he crazy? He actually wants to use fried buns to compete with Eizan’s tempura!”
“After deep frying, the thick bun skin is inferior to tempura in terms of the outer layer alone.”
“Besides, the filling is made of fatty beef, and the deep-frying method only makes the dish even greasier!”
Erina Nakiri couldn’t suppress the urge to get up and question Lin Han.
But from her perspective, she could see Lin Han’s calm and confident smile throughout the whole process, as well as his previous experiences.
Telling her.
Trust Lin Han’s judgment.
“If you are so confident, then let me see what kind of amazing dish you are going to make.”
“Let’s defeat Eizan Ezuya.”
Erina Nakiri, who seemed to be high above and overlooking the overall situation, did not expect this.
I originally came here with the mentality of just watching the show, but now the balance of victory in my heart has shifted.
She had already leaned towards the person she expected.
[53] The Alchemist’s Magic Hand! (2nd update, please add to favorites! Please give me flowers!) (Old version)
“Okay, both sides have already started the final preparations.”
On the other side, Eiyama Eduzou’s tempura has come out of the pot, and Eiyama Eduzou is also making the final arrangement.
The emerald and red dish was wrapped in a golden coating as thin as a cicada’s wing.
With the perfect control of the chopsticks in Eizun’s hand, the crispy crust did not crack at all.
Eiyama Ezu, who specializes in fried and grilled dishes, also uses layers as inspiration for plating.
The thin slices of beef, which have turned dark red after being fried at high temperature, are carefully trimmed into the shape of roses.
Taking the taste into consideration, Eishan Ezu did not fry the beef thoroughly.
Instead, a portion of the bright red color of the raw beef is retained to imitate the bright red color of a bleeding rose.
Vegetables such as chrysanthemum leaves, asparagus, and day lilies are placed next to the beef with petals as decoration.
“My cooking is done.”
Eishan Ezu also pressed the completion button with confidence.
“Please enjoy Harukage Tempura.”
Three plates of almost identical food were placed on the counter.
“Green vegetables, delicious beef, ah, I really want to know what kind of rich taste will burst out when these ingredients are combined?”
Although the theme of tempura is light, it still cannot stop the aroma of the food from bursting out after high-temperature frying.
Even the three judges sitting at the judging table couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“It has a nice color and nice aroma. Just by looking at the smell, I can already imagine how delicious it will taste.”
“As expected of a dish made by the alchemist Eizan-kun.”
These three judges are not teachers of Totsuki Academy.
Rather, he is a gourmet who is also well-known in the culinary world.
One of them has a chain of Japanese restaurants all over the world.
The other is a director and producer who specializes in food documentaries and has extensive experience in culinary knowledge.
The remaining one is a professional gourmet who often travels around the world and tastes various cuisines.
He is an absolute authority in food reviews.
Given the status of these three people, naturally no one dared to object to serving as judges for this food battle.
“Okay, Senior Ruishan has already finished his cooking, so what about Lin Hanjun——”
Including Kawashima Rei, everyone unconsciously looked in Lin Han’s direction.
“Lin Hanjun is about to complete the final frying step. The ingredients he is frying… are they really steamed buns?”
Look at the round shape and the buns that gradually turn golden under high temperature frying.
Kawashima Rei was surprised.
Not to mention the huge size of the buns, which makes it difficult to fry them completely.
Even if they are fried thoroughly, the buns will still be somewhat greasy.
If such a dish is compared with the light and delicious tempura, it will be difficult for it to win!
This is what everyone watching the food battle competition was secretly thinking in their hearts.
Lin Han should be very clear about why this is the case. This cooking method is not a wise choice.
Or does he think that Eiyama Ezuya will also come up with fried dishes with the same strong taste and texture to compete with him?
But if this is the reason, we can only say that Lin Han seems to have really miscalculated.
Ruishan Zhizu also pushed the glasses on his nose and looked in Lin Han’s direction calmly.
“My cooking is done too.”
Lin Han quickly handed in his work.
Three golden fried round buns were also served on three separate plates.
“Wow, the color of this bun really looks adorable.”
After Kawashima Rei reluctantly gave a compliment, she couldn’t think of anything else to say.
After all, from the outside, Lin Han’s cooking…
It’s really just a golden fried bun!
It wasn’t just her, others seemed to think so too.
When Lin Han’s fried buns were projected onto the big screen, Tansho Kei and others were also in the audience.
I even heard boos from people around me.
“What the hell are you doing? You’re just trying to fool everyone with a dish like fried buns.”
“That’s right. If it were me, I would definitely choose Eizan’s tempura just by looking at it.”
“Haha, Ruishan is sure to win this time.”
Even when the three judges looked at Lin Han’s food, a hint of contempt flashed across their eyes.
“Let’s try Eisan-kun’s food first. If we eat the fried buns first, we might be too greasy to eat later.”
Hideki Igarashi, the manager of a Japanese restaurant chain, said.
The other two judges also nodded in approval.
Ruishan Zhizu also glanced at Lin Han proudly, but the latter seemed too lazy to respond to him at all.
“Hehe, let’s see how long you can be so arrogant.”
Eishan Ezu also secretly clenched his fists.
He walked towards the judges’ seat carrying the Harukage Tempura.
“Ah, this taste, the rich but not greasy aroma of fat, and the freshness of the ingredients, is really a moving taste.”
Igarashi Hideki picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth and started chewing.
“Mm! The beef is fresh and tender. Although it is fried, once you bite through the outermost layer of the barely visible batter, the tender beef tastes delicious and bursts with rich gravy.”
“The batter is thin and crispy at just the right temperature, while the beef seems to melt in your mouth, giving you a different level of taste.”
“The sweet gravy, the beef must have been marinated with special seasonings to make it so addictive!”
Even the gourmet Karasawa Haruka nodded frequently.
“Moreover, this sauce even makes the beef itself, which is arranged into flower petals, taste as sweet as flower petals.”
“It’s hard to imagine that this perfect rich taste and flavor can be tasted from fried food!”
Food director Kei Irie also picked up a piece of asparagus and tasted it.
“Although it is fried, apart from the delicious grease of the frying oil itself, the food does not feel greasy at all.”
“It seems that the presence of fat is to bring out the freshness of the ingredients!”
“The control of the heat is almost perfect. After being fried at high temperature, the asparagus still tastes crispy and tender, and even the freshness is not lost at all!”
“Deep-fried food that may seem greasy can also be made so refreshing and pleasant.”
“The deliciousness of the fat and the flavor of the dish itself are just right.”
“Such a magical cooking method, is this the magic hand of an alchemist?!”
【54】The laughter of food! Golden laughing buns! (3 more, please bookmark!) (Old version)
Hearing the judges’ endless praise for Eiyama Ezuya’s cooking,
Tansho Kei and others became even more worried about Lin Han.
After tasting several more bites of Eiyama Ezuya’s food with satisfaction.
The three judges looked at Lin Han’s seemingly ordinary fried buns on the cooking table.
The disgust in his eyes seemed to deepen.
“Come, let’s see what’s so magical about this fried bun?”
Igarashi Hideki said.
Lin Han smiled and was about to walk towards the judging seat with his plate.
“Lin Hanjun.”
Eishan Ezu suddenly called him.
“If you can apologize to me in front of everyone and admit your mistake, perhaps I will consider canceling the punishment for your failure.”
Ruishan Zhizu, who thought he had already won, smiled proudly at Lin Han.
Of course, Ruishan Ezu would never cancel the punishment on Lin Han.
He wanted to see how this arrogant guy in front of him cried bitterly and was expelled from the school like a stray dog!
“Damn it! This guy only knows how to use despicable means!”
Looking at the smug face of Eiyama Ezuya projected on the big screen.
The straightforward Yoshino Yuuki almost wanted to get up and rush straight to the competition ring.
Tadokoro Megumi and Sakaki Ryoko quickly stopped her.
“Don’t be impulsive. Do you want Lin Hanjun to be forced to drop out of school now?”
The status of the Ten Elites in Totsuki Academy is extremely important.
Even the commander-in-chief is not allowed to interfere with the decisions made by the ten heroes.
If he went out rashly when the superiority and inferiority were obvious, he would offend Eishan Ezuya.
Then Lin Han’s fate would really be tragic.
Although after learning that Eishan Ezuya used despicable means to prevent Lin Han from completing this food battle normally.
In their hearts, they all felt ashamed of Eishan Ezuya’s despicable behavior.
But reason made them understand that now was definitely not the right time to conflict with Eishan Ezuya!
They looked at Lin Han worriedly, but found that the latter was still calm.
Even towards Eishan Ezu, he seemed magnanimous, but in fact, his words were full of derogatory remarks.
He didn’t seem angry at all.
But those deep and calm eyes became even colder.
“Has Senior Ruishan always been so confident?”
Lin Han looked at Ruishan Ezuya whose smile was gradually disappearing from his face, and smiled nonchalantly.
“Since you dare to accept the food battle with me, if I lose, I will naturally abide by the agreement and leave here.”
“I also hope that if you lose, you will remember to fulfill your promise.”
“Oh, by the way, there is one more thing that I hope you will know. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, ‘The higher you stand, the harder you fall.'”
After saying this, Lin Han walked past Ruishan Ezuya without even glancing at him, as his face had darkened.
“You are really confident in your cooking, Lin Hanjun.”
“In that case, let me see how your cooking can beat my Haruki Tempura.”
Eishan Ezu also said resentfully in his heart.
“Golden smiles, please enjoy it.”
After placing the plates in front of the three judges, Lin Han stood up and smiled calmly.
“Smile?”
Igarashi Hideki looked at the bun in front of him with a casual look, and suddenly frowned.
“Why is there a tear on your bun?!”
On the big screen, on the golden bun that was in focus, there was a long crescent-shaped crack near the flat side.
“Mine too!”
Irie Katsura screamed, and then Tang Ze Haruka also discovered the crack on her own dish.
“It’s over. It must have been caused by overcooking, right?”
Daigo Aoki screamed.
“Would Lin Hanjun make such a mistake…”
Sakaki Ryoko said with clear logic.
“What if he’s too nervous…”
Megumi Tadokoro, who seems to be very experienced with the word “tension”, also has something to say.
However, amid the doubts, Lin Han just smiled.
“Please taste it first, and you will know the meaning of this opening. By the way, you must eat it with your hands.”
He signaled to the judges that they could put on the disposable food gloves that he had specially placed next to the buns.
“With your hands?”
The judges looked at each other in astonishment and frowned as they looked at the fried buns.
“Hiss, let’s see what you are up to.”
After putting on gloves, Hideki Igarashi picked up the bun in front of him, only to feel the residual heat on the surface of the bun, which made it difficult for him to hold it.
“Hiss—hot, hot, hot.”
Igarashi Hideki tossed the golden smile in his hand back and forth, trying to relieve the heat of the bun.
“Chuckle, chuckle…”
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from the bun!
“Wow! Baozi is talking!”
Hideki Igarashi widened his eyes in shock and almost threw the bun in his hand away.
And this crisp laughter could be clearly heard throughout the entire venue through the miniature microphone on his chest!
“A laughing bun, is this the origin of the name of Golden Smile?”
Irie Kei and Tang Ze Yao looked at each other and then looked at Lin Han.
The latter’s expected smile seemed to confirm their guess.
“Indeed, it is a very thoughtful design.”
“But you should have chosen beef as the filling for this dish, right? If the buns are opened, the beef juice will drain out of the buns under the high temperature.”
“If you do that, the meat left behind will only taste dry and tough!”
“A bun without gravy is like a bun without a soul!”
Facing the accusations from Igarashi Hideki and others, Lin Han was unusually calm.
“Dear judges, please don’t rush to make comments.”
“Besides making you smile, you need to taste it yourself to appreciate its true essence.”
After hearing Lin Han’s words, Hideki Igarashi and others put the buns into their mouths doubtfully.
“This… I can smell the aroma of fat and meat even without chewing it…”
The rich and soft fragrance made Tang Zeyao take a bite involuntarily.
A wonderfully fresh and fragrant taste, like exploding fireworks, splashes on your lips and teeth.
This made Tang Zeyao open his eyes wide!
【55】This is a dish with soul! (4th update, please bookmark!) (Old version)
“Okay, so hot…”
Igarashi Hideki, who had also taken a bite, suddenly screamed.
In his hand, he held a piece of gold with a chip on it and smiled.
Even though he cried out due to the burns, Igarashi Hideki still did not put down the gold in his hand and smiled.
He was chewing madly while blowing out air from his mouth.
And what is even more surprising is that.
As Huang Jin opened his mouth and smiled, a thick soup was gushing out.
“Even though there was a hole in the bun, there was still so much gravy inside.”
“In less than a second, my mouth was filled with the scalding hot gravy!”
Tang Zeyao, whose entire mouth seemed to be aching from the burning gravy, was also pleasantly surprised by the taste.
“Moreover, this thick and delicious gravy does not have the greasy taste of traditional gravy at all, but is refreshing and delicious.”
“It tastes just like soup stock!”
Japanese people have always had their own unique love for light dishes.
In addition, they had already secretly labeled Lin Han’s dishes as greasy, heavy, and unremarkable.
So when they took their first bite, they were pleasantly surprised by the golden smile.
There is no doubt that it is like a huge wave.
“And the golden smiling shell is also a big surprise.”
Irie Kei pinched the skin of the bun in his hand, and immediately heard a crisp sound as the crispy skin broke slightly.
In addition to the aroma of the gravy, the taste of the first bite lingers on the tip of the tongue.
The sweet feeling between the teeth and tongue as the crispy fried skin melts on the tip of the tongue.
“The crispy outer layer that melts in your mouth, paired with the fragrant and refreshing gravy, this double taste is simply amazing!”
The judges were looking at the way they blew the hot air out of the buns and swallowed the whole buns impatiently.
Eishan Ezu also widened his eyes in disbelief.
Originally in his mind, Lin Han’s fried buns were simply mediocre.
It’s totally not comparable to my own Harugei Tempura.
But I didn’t expect that I would be praised so highly by these judges.
You have to know that they are all professionals who have tasted many delicacies from all over the world, and they have tasted countless delicacies on a daily basis.
Even the spring tempura he had just prepared was made before he proposed the food battle with Lin Han.
I started to develop dishes that I had tried countless times early on.
The ingredients chosen, the ratio of various oils and batters, and the amount of oil will all affect the taste of tempura.
Even the degree of batter required to coat each ingredient required countless repeated attempts.
Today, beef is paired with other vegetables to make the perfect tempura!
And he thought it was the best fried food among all the dishes that he could make.
How could one be so impressed by such an inconspicuous fried bun?
“What on earth did you do?”
Ruishan Zhizu also stared at Lin Han.
“Obviously, your buns have cracked after being fried at high temperatures. There’s no way they could hold so much gravy!”
Lin Han smiled coldly.
“Who said those cracks were caused by high temperature cracking?”
Eishan Ezu was also stunned.
“You mean… you made that crack on purpose?”
When people heard Eishan Ezuya’s guess, there was an uproar at the scene.
Erina Nakiri in the box also carefully recalled Lin Han’s actions and suddenly realized it.
“It’s baking soda. He added baking soda to the flour when he was kneading it.”
“In this way, the dough he kneads does not need to be proofed again, and when it comes into contact with heat, the dough will expand rapidly.”
“When frying the buns, you only need to make a small opening in advance. After high temperature catalysis, the cracks on the skin will open naturally.”
“Lin Hanjun added vermicelli, diced beef and other fillings into the buns, and the hot oil entered the buns through the cracks.”
“The broth of the diced meat will be absorbed by the vermicelli and will not be left out. At the same time, the diced meat and the inner bun skin will become lighter and crisper due to the frying effect.”
“When the bun shakes, it naturally makes a sound like laughter!”
“Being able to come up with such a design is like turning pastry into something fun, like a toy that children love.”
There was a gleam of surprise in Erina Nakiri’s eyes, and she looked in Lin Han’s direction without blinking.
After Irie Kei broke the bun open, Erina Nakiri’s guess was confirmed.
“In fact, I added pork rind jelly into the buns before frying them, which made the gravy inside the buns richer.”
“When you take a bite, you can feel the exploding sensation.”
Of course, in order to neutralize the greasiness of the buns themselves, he also put a lot of effort into the taste of the jelly.
Whether it is the creativity of opening your mouth to smile or the taste of the food itself.
Everything was just as Lin Han expected, impeccable.
“It’s like eating some new and unique snack that I’ve never eaten before!”
“This perfect combination of textures and this impeccable taste is truly a super snack that makes people extremely happy!”
“Deceptively simple fast food dishes can bring unexpected joy to people. This is the charm of fried food!”
He ate all the remaining buns in one go.
The three judges, still unsatisfied, cast their votes one after another.
Lin Han, following his battle with Kuga Teruki, once again defeated Eiyama Ezuya with a score of 3:0 without any suspense.
