Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 180: Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma
What an unexpected surprise! Hiyori originally thought that she would gain nothing from her visit to the first grade, but she did not expect that a top first grade student would take the initiative to talk to her, and the request she made was very special. Compared with the 500,000 points of Class D in the first year, cooking a meal was really too easy. Hiyori was still very confident in her cooking skills.

Horikita Suzune also had the same idea. You have to know that her cooking skills are already superb, and under Ryuen's picky selection, they have reached the level of perfection. The chefs of ordinary restaurants are definitely not at Horikita's level.

It seems that a battle for talent is inevitable. After learning that the red-haired girl in front of him is called Amasawa Ichika, Horikita quickly looked up her information on the OAA system. As long as he can win her over, at least Sudo's expulsion crisis can be solved. Horikita is determined to get Amasawa Ichika.

Hiyori was also worried about the lack of results in this trip, but she didn't expect Tianze to come to her on his own initiative. Naturally, she would not miss such a good opportunity.

“It seems that both seniors are very confident in their cooking skills. Why don’t we have a competition? I’ll listen to whoever wins.” Tianze jumped between Hiyori and Horikita, showing off his lightness.

The bright twin ponytails were dazzling, and sparks ignited between Horikita and Hiyori's eyes.

At this time, many after-school interest departments of the school were still carrying out department activities. Through Hiyori's relationship, the group came to the cooking department's classroom, where all the ingredients and props were available, making it very suitable for cooking competitions.

"Tian Ze, do you have any favorite dishes?"

Before choosing what dish to cook, Hiyori asked Amasawa first. It would be easier to win the competition if she catered to his preferences. Hiyori did not lower her voice. After all, given Horikita's arrogant personality, she would definitely be quite disdainful of cooking the same meal as Hiyori. Of course, Hiyori was not afraid to compete with Horikita on the same dish.

"I don't have any favorites. Just do what you are best at, senior."

Tianze put his finger to his mouth, it seemed that he didn't want Hiyori to take advantage of the situation. Hiyori didn't feel disappointed, she just had to perform normally.

Compared to Hiyori who was busy looking for suitable ingredients and choosing suitable knives, Horikita just stood in front of the frying pan, thinking about something. Her appearance made people doubt whether she could really cook.

When Hiyori had finished the simple food processing and washed the vegetables, Horikita finally started.

Both cooks were very focused when cooking and did not look at the other's progress. Although Horikita started later, the time difference between the two of them in the end was not much. Horikita was only two minutes later than Hiyori.

Hiyori arranges the prepared sushi exquisitely and finally places it in front of Amazawa. Although the arrangement of the dishes will not affect the taste of the ingredients, it can affect the mood of the diners. The better the mood of the diners, the higher their evaluation of the food.

The reason why Hiyori chose to make sushi is because sushi is one of the most representative foods in Japan, and almost no Japanese can refuse sushi.

Hiyori learned how to make sushi from her mother when she was in primary school. It can be considered an old skill. She perfectly combines fresh fish with unique vinegar rice, making sushi an extremely tempting delicacy.

Tianze Yixia picked up a piece of sushi with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, revealing an expression of enjoyment: "The vinegar rice on the sushi is like the freshness of the sea breeze. The light sour taste takes away the greasiness of the fish, while the delicious fish makes the taste distinct."

A very professional evaluation. It seems that Tianze is a senior foodie.

But Tianze didn't spend too much time on sushi. After all, sushi can be used as a staple food. Eating too much will make you choke. Even if Hiyori made delicious sushi, the delicate girl would not eat too much.

Horikita made tempura, which is also a very common dish. After all, if she chose to make some special dishes, it would be difficult to control whether Amasawa would like it. At least if she made everyday dishes, she would not be disliked.

The tempura made by Horikita can be said to satisfy everyone's imagination of the most perfect tempura. It uses a variety of fresh vegetables and seafood as the main ingredients, fried until golden brown, and then paired with a special sauce. It has a crispy texture and rich flavors. The high-calorie ingredients immediately attracted the girl.

Although the tempura was still hot, Tianze still picked up his chopsticks, and seemed to be quite impatient. Tianze gave a thumbs up while eating.

"As for the winner of this competition, although both of you cooked delicious dishes, I can only choose one. Senior sisters, please taste each other's dishes. After tasting, you will know my choice."

Hiyori and Horikita picked up their chopsticks at the same time and picked up each other's food.

"I lost."

If you just look at the appearance of the ingredients, Hiyori's sushi is better, but once you taste it you will know that Hiyori can't win at all, the cooking skills of the two are not on the same level.

Although Hiyori readily admitted that she lost, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Kaneda also noticed that Hiyori didn't look happy after losing, so he said very straightforwardly: "It's okay, Shiina-san, there are still many top students in the first grade, we have plenty of opportunities to find the next one."

Kaneda simply didn't understand that what made Hiyori sad was not that she lost Amasawa Ichika, but that she lost to Horikita in cooking skills.

It was a complete defeat. Even if she was given a second, third, or even more chances, Hiyori knew that she would not win. Losing in cooking felt like a denial of her feminine power. For a moment, Hiyori even felt a little inferior.

Amasawa Ichika successfully formed a team with Sudo, but the price was that Horikita also needed to prepare dinner for Amasawa later. This was a trivial matter for Horikita, after all, she prepared three meals a day for Ryuuen every day, and now it was just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks at night.

……

"Is that why you brought her back for dinner?"

Ryuuen was a little unhappy. In order to save trouble, Horikita actually asked Amasawa to come to Ryuuen's room for dinner. Suddenly, a light bulb appeared in their happy world of two people, and Ryuuen frowned again and again.

"Are you two in a relationship?"

The smart Amasawa Ichika quickly realized the special relationship between the two people in front of him.

"That's right, but it's still in the confidentiality stage. If you announce it to anyone, I won't cook for you." Horikita tied her apron skillfully.

"You really trust this first-year rookie."

Horikita said arrogantly: "I don't trust her, I trust my own craftsmanship."

Tianze also said, "I definitely won't say anything nonsense. After all, the food that senior sister cooks is definitely delicious. Once you eat it once, you won't want to eat the food cooked by others again."

Ryuen also agreed with this point, and for a while they became like-minded. Ryuen was no longer so averse to this junior schoolmate with twin ponytails.
