Satou set up ten flat pans at once, and in each pan, a Jianbing Guozi was being cooked.
"Spicy ones are here, non-spicy ones are there."
Satou called out as he placed the finished Jianbing Guozi of different flavors on the cooking station.
"How amazing! He's so fast! Operating ten pans at once, doesn't he get tired?"
"Not tired at all? As expected of a Far Moon student."
"It's really novel; it's my first time seeing a dish made like this."
Customers enjoyed the delicious food while watching with relish as Satou poured a scoop of batter onto a flat pan.
"Is this crispy thing Youtiao? I've eaten it before when I was on a business trip in Huaxia. Paired with this soft pancake and the sour and spicy sauce, it's absolutely fantastic."
"Although Western breakfast is exquisite and beautiful, I still prefer this kind of food that suits the Oriental palate; it has a sense of familiarity."
Many customers praised him.
"That hateful guy, he stole all my customers!"
Alice Nakiri stomped her foot in anger.
"Are you ready to bark like a dog?"
Satou turned around and smiled.
Alice Nakiri was so angry in her heart.
"It smells really good. I didn't expect to be able to eat Huaxia street food on this stage."
Gin Dojima walked over and said with a smile, "May I also have a taste?"
"Of course."
Satou smiled slightly.
"It might be delicious in the eyes of ordinary people, but for us, it's just a low-level dish. I don't think there's any need to taste it, is there?"
Kojiro Shinomiya said somewhat reluctantly from the side.
In his opinion, the dishes of these first-year students, who hadn't even graduated yet, had no tasting value at all.
"Then you come and taste it."
Gin Dojima gazed at him and asked, "You haven't made any progress in a long time, have you? You claim to be a Far Moon graduate and don't put these new students in your eyes at all. But it won't be long before they leave you behind."
"You?!"
Kojiro Shinomiya's expression immediately changed. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up a plate of Jianbing Guozi and began to taste it.
The soft and chewy dough, the crispy and fragrant fried dough stick, the refreshing and crisp cucumber… Several distinct textures formed a wonderful symphony, playing on his tongue.
"This first-year guy, his skill level seems even higher than mine when I was in my first year!"
Kojiro Shinomiya was greatly startled, and huge waves surged in his heart.
"Did you see that? This is the new era's Jade!"
Gin Dojima said, "If you keep standing still, you will be caught up by these juniors at any time."
Kojiro Shinomiya gritted his teeth, his face grim.
…
"Time is officially over! All students please stop what you are doing."
"Next, are the scores of the top ten students.
First place: Satou, number of meals taken, four hundred and fifty portions.
Second place: Erina Nakiri, number of meals taken, four hundred and seven portions.
Third place: Alice Nakiri, number of meals taken, three hundred and eighty portions.
…"
…
"I'm not first place? Didn't that guy just finish two hundred portions?"
Erina Nakiri's expression changed slightly, feeling very puzzled.
She remembered that when Satou finished two hundred portions, it was already very late. How did he manage to catch up to her in quantity and surpass her?
Immediately, her face flushed slightly as she recalled the agreement between them.
"Do I… really have to kiss him every day?"
Erina Nakiri gritted her teeth, whispering with blushing cheeks.
"Phew, finally done! Miss Erina, shall we continue playing poker to celebrate tonight?"
Yukihira Soma, who had completed his task at the last moment by transforming, let out a long breath and laughed.
"Play your head!"
Erina Nakiri snapped ungraciously.
"Huh?"
Yukihira Soma looked at Erina Nakiri, whose mood had suddenly turned sour, with a puzzled expression.
…
"Hey, did you hear that? The first place is actually that transfer student!"
"Even Miss Erina lost to him, but didn't he just finish two hundred portions?"
"Yeah, damn it, what's going on?"
Many students were also in an uproar, completely unable to figure out how Satou, who finished two hundred portions very late, became first place.
"Damn it!"
Alice Nakiri was very unhappy; she not only lost to Erina Nakiri but also to Satou.
In that case, wouldn't she have to bark like a dog?
"Satou, that's great, we all passed."
At this moment, Tadokoro Megumi and others rushed over, shouting happily.
"Why were you so far behind at the start, but then you surpassed me?"
At this moment, Erina Nakiri walked over, asking with a hint of unwillingness.
"Oh. I was frying fried dough sticks earlier, so I didn't let customers pick up their meals right away."
Satou said.
"So, you actually had less time than us?"
Erina Nakiri was surprised, asking.
"That's right."
Satou nodded, "Because fried dough sticks aren't crispy after a while, I had to fry them at the beginning, which wasted a lot of time."
At this moment, he noticed Alice Nakiri trying to sneak away and said, "Alice, are you trying to escape? Have you forgotten our bet?"
Alice Nakiri, who was just about to escape, immediately stopped, puffing out her cheeks, and said angrily, "I won't escape!"
"Then what should you do now?"
Satou asked with interest.
"Huh? Do you two have a bet too?"
Erina Nakiri was startled, then saw Alice Nakiri blushing and barking twice, "Woof woof woof."
"Are you satisfied now?!"
Alice Nakiri's cheeks were flushed, and she stomped her foot.
"Haha, Alice, you…"
Erina Nakiri rarely showed a smile on her face when she saw this scene; she was also amused.
The others were also desperately holding back their laughter.
"Satou, I'll remember you this time!"
Alice Nakiri glared at Satou resentfully, stomped her foot, covered her blushing face, and ran away.
"I really didn't expect her to have such a day."
Erina Nakiri said, gloating.
"Erina, don't forget our agreement."
Satou glanced at her and smiled.
Erina Nakiri's smile instantly froze on her face.
At this moment, she also had the urge to turn around and run away.
