General!
He is the supreme leader of Totsuki Academy.
At the same time, he has a great influence on the entire Japan culinary scene, so he is hailed by people as the "Demon King of Cuisine."
Although this General rarely shows his face in front of Far Moon students.
But his educational approach of "survival of the fittest" has had a crucial impact on the teaching and operation of Totsuki Academy.
Of course.
As for the General, this unexpected guest.
Sosuke, the Shopkeeper of the Izakaya, was not too surprised!
...
Upon entering, the entire Izakaya's decor felt very classical and traditional!
As for the diners, it seemed like it was almost closing time, so there weren't many, and most of them looked like ordinary people.
As for the Shopkeeper, he was a young man around 20 years old. He looked particularly handsome, but beneath his graceful demeanor, he always exuded a composure unusual for his age!
Therefore, just by looking at him once, Sosuke left a deep impression on the General's eyes!
Subsequently.
The General casually found a seat and sat down.
"Erina."
"Why do you have time to come to the Izakaya again tonight?"
However, at this moment, Sosuke bypassed the General and came to Erina to greet her.
"Huh?"
"Can't I… can't I come to the Izakaya every day?"
Upon hearing this, Erina first froze, then gave Sosuke an annoyed glare: "Besides, this time my grandfather is coming to your Izakaya."
"You should feel lucky. If it weren't for me, do you think a small place like this Izakaya would be worth the Yuanyue Head Chef's personal visit?"
"Hehe!"
"Just say you want to eat my cooking!"
"You always have to find some lame excuse to fool me every time!"
"Who… who's fooling you?"
"This time it's really the Yuanyue Head Chef who's coming to the Izakaya. I… Hisako and I are just accompanying him!"
Hearing this, Erina "argued" again.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Reincarnation Spring Roll, and make the portion bigger, otherwise it won't feel like enough!"
"See!"
"You answered so quickly."
"And you even told me to make the portion bigger. You're clearly craving my body, cough cough, craving my cooking!"
"You… you…"
Knowing she had been teased by Sosuke, Erina's face flushed "bang" red.
"Alright!"
"I won't tease you anymore!"
"Tell me, what kind of dish do you, your grandfather, and Hisako want to eat this time at the Izakaya?"
Looking at Erina's rare expression of shame and anger, Sosuke felt a bit satisfied.
But everything should have a limit, and he knew when to stop, so after pretending to cough twice, he formally asked.
"Sosuke!"
"I just told you."
"I want Reincarnation Spring Roll, and the portion needs to be bigger!"
"Unfortunately!"
"There's no tai snapper left."
"So, I can't make Reincarnation Spring Roll tonight!"
"What?"
"No Reincarnation Spring Roll?"
Erina was stunned for a moment. You've been teasing me for so long, and you can't even make this dish?
You know, she had just praised Sosuke to the heavens in front of the General!
As a result, at this critical juncture, at this moment when she could prove she wasn't lying, Sosuke couldn't produce his signature dish?
...
"Sosuke!"
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
Erina's face gradually flushed!
She bit her lip tightly with her clean, white teeth, and finally her tense expression eased.
But!
It was clear.
She was quite annoyed with Sosuke at this moment!
"I'm really not lying to you this time!"
Sosuke, however, remained standing where he was, replying indifferently.
In fact, he still had tai snapper in his hand; after all, the last sign-in rewarded him with ten high-quality tai snapper, which he couldn't possibly use up!
But this time, he didn't intend to use Reincarnation Spring Roll to entertain Erina and the others.
There were two reasons for this:
Firstly, Reincarnation Spring Roll's process and method are particularly troublesome.
Secondly, he had just obtained a new special recipe, Rising Dragon Dumplings, so he wanted to use Erina's God Tongue ability to test the power of these Rising Dragon Dumplings.
"The Reincarnation Spring Roll you wanted."
"It can't be made now because of a lack of tai snapper!"
"However, I've developed a new dish, and I can assure you that the new dish will definitely be comparable to the Reincarnation Spring Roll!"
"Eh?"
"You… you've developed a new dish again?"
Upon hearing these words, Erina, who was originally feeling quite down, became shocked.
You know, in three days, she had come to the Izakaya three times, and every time she met Sosuke, he would say this sentence: "I've developed a new dish again!"
No way!
Are culinary dishes nowadays.
That easy to develop?
Even a true chef sometimes might spend a year, several years, or even a lifetime to develop a new dish.
Then, through unremitting efforts and continuous improvements, the new dish is gradually perfected!
And a unique genius like Erina, on the other hand, can utilize her God Tongue ability to develop new dishes in a very short amount of time!
However.
In this world.
How many people possess the God Tongue ability?
...
"Sosuke!"
"Then… what's the new dish?"
Erina was shocked, but she couldn't help but feel anticipation and curiosity in her heart.
"It has a nice name, but you wouldn't understand it if I told you, so I'll just tell you directly: it's essentially a dumpling made with shrimp meat!"
"Shrimp meat?"
"Dumplings?"
"What kind of shrimp is used?"
"Australian lobster? New Zealand rock lobster? France blue lobster?"
"Or… rose lobster?"
Erina quickly listed all the lobster varieties she considered to be of decent price!
"Prawns!"
"You can buy them at any supermarket outside, and they're very cheap!"
Sosuke replied truthfully.
Erina: ????
...
Sometimes.
Erina really didn't want to chat with Sosuke.
Because chatting with him might really make her die of anger!
The tai snapper used in the last Reincarnation Spring Roll was an expensive, high-quality tai snapper!
But this time, the new dish was just ordinary shrimp dumplings, and what's more, it used common prawn varieties found in the coastal areas of China!
"Erina!"
"Let me put it this way."
"Although it's made with ordinary shrimp meat, the focus isn't actually on the quality of the shrimp meat, but on the dumpling wrapper!"
"And while guaranteeing an unprecedented taste experience, it will also have the most striking visual effect. I think you'll like it when you see it!"
Sosuke smiled faintly, then explained to Erina.
"Really?"
Erina was a bit skeptical!
"Mhm!"
"I'm really not lying to you!"
Sosuke nodded in response.
"Alright then, I'll have three servings… mhm, generous portions of shrimp dumplings!"
Erina replied.
"OK."
"Please wait a moment."
After taking the order, Sosuke turned and returned to the cooking station!
