Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Because they were fresh out of the oven, the canelés were still soft, moist, and fluffy, looking as light and soft as clouds.

The sweetness of vanilla milk and the richness of rum intertwine to create a complex and harmonious flavor profile.

With her eyes closed, Momo Akane's face flushed slightly. At that moment, she felt as if she were immersed in incredibly smooth vanilla milk, surrounded by pure white.

Every pore on my body is absorbing and experiencing the beauty of this moment; every cell in my body is rejoicing and excitedly shouting.

"Wow, this is amazing! Is this what they call luminous cuisine? It feels completely different!"

Her voice was filled with shock. It was a dessert, but this one was completely different from the ones she usually made.

Glowing-level cuisine, how could it be so amazing!?

Thinking of the desserts she used to eat, Momo Akane suddenly felt they tasted like cardboard.

"That's about enough. Now, let's listen to the beautiful sound of the angel's bell."

Canelés are placed on a wire mesh to cool, and their outer shells become incredibly crisp over time.

Bai Yuan reached out and gently pinched it, and the outer shell cracked open. The sound that followed was like angels from heaven ringing bells and calling to them.

"it is good."

If canelés are so delicious without waiting, then what about those that require waiting, according to Bai Yuan?

A sense of anticipation welled up in Momo Akane's heart. She then took the new canelé from Shirobuchi and opened her mouth to bite off a small corner of it.

"Delicious!"

Unlike the softer outer shell before, this one is much crispier, as if you could hear a pleasant "crack" sound if you touched it lightly.

This is a miracle created by the combined effect of beeswax and butter, which not only maintains the shape of the mold but also gives canelés a unique shine and texture.

At the same time, it creates a wonderful layering with the soft interior, and as you move your teeth up and down, it makes a "crunching" sound, and the flavor spreads throughout your mouth.

Momoko Akane, who had been sitting upright, now had her legs tightly crossed, her breathing slightly rapid, and her eyes more unfocused.

There's something wrong with this dessert! It's just a dessert, so why does it make my body feel tingly and numb after eating it? This feeling is so strange!

"Although there were some problems, the fact that it can become a top-grade five-star dish with a few improvements means that the previous steps were successful."

The Dessert Research Society welcomes you, Li Wanwan and Huang Mei.

Even if we disregard the monk's reputation, we should still respect the Buddha's. Although Li Wanwan made some mistakes during the production process, she still possessed the necessary skills.

Given that she was brought by Bai Yuan, and considering their intimate actions just now, their relationship must be extraordinary.

Furthermore, putting Li Wanwan aside, Huang Mei truly possesses the ability to create first-class dishes, which is a significant asset to the Dessert Research Club!

"Tsk, there were three of us when we came, but how come there's only one left when we left?"

After leaving the dessert research club, Bai Yuan couldn't help but complain that Qian Jiubo Momo had kept Li Wanwan and Huang Mei behind under the pretext of preparing club uniforms for them.

The so-called club uniforms were actually custom-made outfits that Momo Akane called in a professional tailor to make for the new members of the confectionery research club.

The outfits and attire of the girls they saw at the dessert research club today were all carefully selected by Momoko Akane.

Bai Yuan felt it was too tiring to wait there, so he made up an excuse and left.

"But this makes it a bit boring, even though it's a rare weekend."

Wandering aimlessly through the Far Moon campus, grumbling to himself, he suddenly felt his vision broaden as he saw the beautiful scenery around him, and his mind relaxed.

"Well, this is fine too."

Looking at the cherry blossoms falling to the ground, Bai Yuan casually picked up one of them, held it to his nose and gently smelled its fragrance, his expression one of enjoyment.

"These cherry blossoms are so beautiful; it must be spring now."

This is a rare opportunity, let's make some cherry blossom mochi tomorrow.

With this thought in mind, Bai Yuan bent down slightly, gathered his strength in his legs, and jumped up. Then, at a speed so fast that he could only be seen as a phantom, he began to pick the cherry blossoms that were about 80% ripe and in good condition from the tree.

The cherry blossoms that had been picked needed something to wrap them, so Bai Yuan took off his coat and put all the cherry blossoms he had picked inside it.

Before long, his coat was covered with cherry blossoms. Bai Yuan glanced at it and thought it was about time, so he prepared to go back and catch up on the sleep he hadn't had enough of that morning.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, what are you doing?"

Although it's the weekend, it doesn't mean there's no one outside.

Seeing Kobayashi Rindou walking towards him with a face full of curiosity, Bai Yuan stopped what he was doing.

"I'm going to pick some cherry blossoms to make some cherry blossom cakes. But what are you doing here? I thought you'd be sleeping in on the weekend."

Seeing the girl with her school uniform collar unbuttoned, a bright smile on her face revealing two cute little tiger teeth, Bai Yuan asked.

"I went sea fishing a couple of days ago and enjoyed a seafood feast. I just came back from the beach today and then I saw you picking cherry blossoms here."

Hearing Bai Yuan's somewhat puzzled words, Kobayashi Rindou put his hand to his lips as if thinking, and then began to recount his itinerary.

"I see. So, what are you planning to do now...?"

"I was originally planning to go straight home to sleep, but since I saw you here and learned that you're making sakura mochi, I naturally have to come and freeload. Let me get you some sakura for you."

As they were talking, Kobayashi Rindou took two steps forward and quickly grabbed the coat that Shirai had placed on the ground. Inside were the cherry blossoms that he had painstakingly picked.

"Then let's go to your place."

Seeing Kobayashi Rindou's actions, Bai Yuan smiled helplessly. Was this guy afraid that he would run away?

"Would you like to come to my house? Mr. Bai Yuan, are you also interested in a young girl's boudoir?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Kobayashi Rindou was taken aback at first, then said with a hint of teasing, while nudging Bai Yuan's arm with his elbow, appearing affectionate.

"Today is a day off, so I gave the little ones a day off. If I go back to cook now, they'll probably come back, and then the day off will be wasted."

A balance between work and rest is essential. Constant cooking for long periods can be counterproductive, and proper relaxation is also necessary. That's why Bai Yuan designated Saturday as a holiday.

His original intention was to let them relax. If he went back now, those people would probably immediately drop what they were doing and come to watch him cook.

That would make holidays meaningless.

"I see. Then come with me."

My house is a little messy, I hope you don't mind.

Whether he believed it or not, after listening to Bai Yuan's story, Kobayashi Rindou nodded slightly and then led the way.

"It's okay, as long as the kitchen is clean."

Bai Yuan glanced at the coat that Kobayashi Rindou was holding in his hand and gave a wry smile.

This guy is really outgoing. If it weren't for his pretty face, which makes it hard to get angry with him, he would have caused a lot of trouble.

"The kitchen is alright, but don't have too high expectations, because I rarely cook at home, so it's just average..."

As she spoke, Kobayashi Rindou suddenly became a little unsure of herself. She rarely went home; for her, home was just an ordinary place to stay.

"It's okay, as long as it works."

Seeing Kobayashi Rindou's appearance, Bai Yuan felt a little curious.

However, his curiosity was soon answered.

"Ahem, step back a little."

Bai Yuan wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Kobayashi Rindou's face was a little red, and most of his body was blocking the doorway, obscuring most of his view.

"Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually. Let me see what's going on."

As the door opened, Bai Yuan pulled aside Kobayashi Rindou and squeezed inside, where he was greeted by a magnificent sight.

Clothes and pants were scattered haphazardly on the sofa, and even a few pairs of underwear could be seen.

It wasn't very dirty; you could tell it was cleaned regularly. But it was really messy, yet strangely, there was a sense of order within the chaos.

"Don't be fooled by its mess; I did it this way on purpose. If I had arranged everything properly, I wouldn't even know where I put anything."

Seeing Bai Yuan's slightly subtle gaze, Kobayashi Rindou squeezed into the room, awkwardly scratching his hair, and whispered something to make amends beside him.

Despite the mess in the room, she can find anything she's looking for immediately. In a sense, isn't that a form of tidying up?

"As long as I'm happy living here, what matters is what others say. I think it's great this way; it feels like home, doesn't it?"

Seeing Kobayashi Rindou's embarrassment, Bai Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

As he spoke, he strode toward the sofa, looked at the underwear and stockings on it, and silently picked up the black stockings.

"But I still put the clothes I take off in the laundry tub and wash them all at once after ten or fifteen days. Removing these clothes will make the room look much cleaner."

"Ahem, I understand, give it to me."

Although she appeared carefree on the outside, she felt somewhat ashamed that a handsome, physically healthy man was holding her personal clothing.

Logically speaking, this should be a very annoying thing, but at this moment, Kobayashi Rindou not only did not feel disgusted, but also had a faint sense of smugness.

This feeling is very subtle.

To put it simply...

Someone who used to be aloof and superior suddenly starts paying attention to your daily life and then tells you to be careful in a gentle tone.

This kind of consideration from a superior to a subordinate not only doesn't make people feel uncomfortable, but also feels like a gentle breeze.

The joy was even more pronounced when considering that Bai Yuan was a seven-star chef, a national treasure in any country.

"I'll go to the kitchen to cook. You tidy up the dirty clothes. Consider the cherry blossom cakes your reward. There won't be any reward if you don't cook them well."

Watching Kobayashi Rindou snatch the black stockings, and feeling the lingering warmth on his fingertips, Bai Yuan waved his hand and strode towards the kitchen.

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Looking at the messy living room, Kobayashi Rindou felt a little embarrassed, so he gave Bai Yuan's back an OK sign.

She's very good at tidying up and organizing; after all, over the past three years, she has repeatedly transformed her home from a messy state into a clean one.

Then, in less than half a month, it will return to its chaotic state.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, you are the first person to come to my house, and you are my first love."

As if she had thought of something and felt it was unfair that she was the only one who was shy, Kobayashi Rindou came to the kitchen door with her underwear in her arms and called out to Shirahara, who was standing in front of the counter.

It was probably the first time a boy had come to her house, and she felt that there was something ambiguous between them.

However, she enjoyed the feeling.

She likes capable people because she feels safe around them, as if someone will always be there to protect her no matter what she does.
