Every part of the Red-haired Pig was valuable ingredient. Besides the offal, Satou also drained the pig's blood, collecting several large buckets.
Although people in other countries besides Chinese cuisine and the neighboring Korean peninsula don't eat pig's blood, it is actually a very delicious ingredient.
The Red-haired Pig, weighing several tons, was quickly and thoroughly butchered. In the end, over a ton of meat was cut out. Of course, Satou wasn't sure of the exact weight, as the Tsundere's kitchen didn't have a scale that large.
Among this, the pork was further subdivided into pork belly, hind leg meat, tenderloin, and so on.
"The quality of this meat is so high-grade."
Erina Nakiri was slightly surprised, "I originally thought that being so large, the meat would definitely be tough, but just by its appearance, the meat must be very tender and fresh. However, Mito Ikumi would know more about the specifics."
Satou nodded and said, "Erina, take whatever ingredients you want."
"Then I won't be polite."
Erina Nakiri nodded. Since she had already decided in her heart that they would marry in the future, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
In the end, Erina Nakiri took an entire pig leg, a pig ear, and some pig liver and heart.
"These bones are also excellent for making soup."
Satou said, but the Red-haired Pig's bones were too large, even bigger than beef bones, and wouldn't fit in a regular soup pot. Satou specifically used a knife to chop the pig bones into smaller pieces.
However, the Red-haired Pig's bones were very sturdy. Even though the kitchen knives in Erina Nakiri's kitchen were the world's highest-grade, Satou still blunted several of them while chopping.
"Take some of these pig bones; they're great for making soup."
Satou said.
"Mm."
Erina Nakiri nodded, not refusing.
Then she remembered something and asked, "By the way, are you planning to use this pork belly for Twice Cooked Pork? The tracer can only replicate dishes, but not ingredients. It seems you definitely won't lose this time! Even if Mimasaka Subaru can get the highest-grade pork in the world, it won't matter."
"Mm."
Satou nodded and said, "Shall we try this pork now?"
"Alright."
Erina Nakiri smiled slightly; she had wanted to test it out for a long time too.
Next, the two of them each started cooking.
Erina Nakiri made a roasted pork roll, while Satou made Twice Cooked Pork.
"What tender meat! It tastes even better than Gascon black pig or Tibetan fragrant pig!"
Erina Nakiri was slightly surprised. The pork was exceptionally tender and juicy, melting in her mouth, fatty but not greasy, and tasted even better than many of the world's top quality pork she had ever tasted!
Satou was also a little happy. The Tsundere mentioned that those pigs were the most premium pigs in the world, with each jin costing an astronomical price. Yet, he had so much of it here. He had truly struck it rich this time.
Next, the two of them finished both dishes. After eating, Satou thought for a moment and then stir-fried two large plates of fried rice with the pork, preparing to take them back for the two dragons as a late-night snack.
The next day, as soon as Satou arrived in the classroom, he saw Megumi Tadokoro and the others, their faces ashen and looking utterly lifeless.
"Megumi, you all have really worked hard these past few days."
Satou said with shame.
For the past few nights, Mimasaka Subaru would go to Polar Star Dormitory every night, tormenting everyone to the point of questioning their existence, even if they locked the doors.
"Don't say anything, Satou! I'm counting on you for today's Shokugeki! You absolutely must win!"
Yuki Yoshino knelt directly on the ground, pleading.
"Satou, you absolutely must defeat that pervert!"
Aoki Daigo and Marui Zenji and the others also knelt before him, saying indignantly.
"Yes, I understand."
Satou nodded. Just then, he received a text message from the school's Shokugeki Management Bureau.
"Your Shokugeki application with Mimasaka Subaru has been approved, and the stakes of both parties have been recognized by the school's Shokugeki Management Bureau. Please arrive at A Venue before nine o'clock to participate in the Shokugeki."
"Then let's go."
Satou put down his phone and said.
Then, a group of people arrived at A Venue.
At this time, the venue was already packed with students.
Because Mimasaka Subaru often impersonated Satou and wandered around the school, all the students knew that Satou had been targeted by Mimasaka Subaru.
"Being targeted by that pervert, even the transfer student is in trouble this time."
"That's right, the Tracer is too terrifying!"
"And I heard the transfer student even revealed the dish he was going to make to the opponent, truly seeking death!"
"What? He actually revealed the name of his dish to the opponent? How foolish!"
Many students gloated, eagerly anticipating Satou's misfortune.
"I am Kawashima Rei, the emcee for today. Now, please welcome both contestants to the stage!"
Kawashima Rei showed a sweet smile, "First, please welcome Mimasaka Subaru!"
Mimasaka Subaru walked onto the Shokugeki stage, raised his hand, and greeted everyone, imitating Satou's tone: "Hello everyone, I am Satou. Please rest assured, I will definitely defeat the Tracer this time!"
Satou: "…"
Everyone: "…"
"He's really too into character."
Yuki Yoshino said, supporting her forehead.
"Next, contestant Satou."
Satou also walked onto the Shokugeki stage.
"Look, it's Erina!"
"Erina has also come in person. Their relationship is indeed extraordinary."
"That's right, she must be concerned about that transfer student, right?"
The students below the stage noticed Erina Nakiri walking into the private box above the venue, and a wave of jealousy swept through them.
Listening to the discussions below, Erina Nakiri's cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit her lip lightly, regretting that she shouldn't have come.
"Erina, once I defeat Mimasaka Subaru, you must agree to my proposal, Satou's proposal!"
At this moment, Mimasaka Subaru on the stage waved to her and shouted.
"What? Has their relationship really reached this point?"
"The Tracer shouldn't be wrong, right?"
All the students below changed their expressions!
They knew that Mimasaka Subaru would investigate all of his opponent's information beforehand. Since he said so, it was very likely that the relationship between Satou and Erina Nakiri had indeed reached this point!
"Damn it!"
Erina Nakiri's cheeks were flushed with shame, and she was both angry and annoyed. "Satou, if you can't beat him, just wait!"
