Crossover Anime: Starting with a Fusion of Master Chef, a Top-Tier Master Chef

"It's so delicious, yet they deliberately made it sound worthless. That's outrageous!"

"If you don't know how to eat it, then don't eat it!"

"If I were the boss, I definitely wouldn't welcome a guest who deliberately causes trouble."

"Is there something wrong with this woman's tongue?"

"..."

In fact, Shinohara thought, "This girl has a real talent for being a gourmet!"

After all, not everyone can have such a subtle appreciation for food.

Just as he was thinking, Touma Kazusa suddenly asked, "Does Shinohara-san know how to make fried rice?"

"Fried rice with egg?"

Shinohara was stunned: "Excuse me, what kind of fried rice is it?"

Touma said, "It's like Chinese cuisine, with rice and eggs mixed together, plus cured meat and sweet corn. It looks very shiny, the rice grains are distinct and covered with egg, it smells very fragrant, but it doesn't feel greasy."

Xiao didn't think much of it at first, but when she heard that the rice grains were distinct and coated with egg, she was instantly filled with respect.

This kind of culinary skill sounds extraordinary and deserves our attention.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I have no knowledge of Chinese cuisine, but I am willing to give it a try. I wonder if you could wait a moment?"

"can."

A glimmer of anticipation rose in Touma's heart.

……

Shinohara returned to the kitchen and, about ten minutes later, personally brought out a plate of fried rice.

This aroused the curiosity of the customers who were dining.

Mr. Shinohara made it himself, so it should taste pretty good, right?

"You ordered the egg fried rice, sir."

Shinohara respectfully placed the plate in front of Touma Kazusa.

However, just by looking at the appearance and smelling the aroma, Touma frowned.

Upon seeing this, Shinohara's heart tightened.

"It doesn't taste right!"

After just one small bite, Touma shook his head: "The aroma is different, not strong enough. The rice doesn't taste good, it's not even separated into individual grains. And the cured meat is too tough, not chewy at all. The promised salty and savory flavor is so weak. The corn didn't help cut through the richness either. Most importantly, I didn't get that feeling of happiness from it!"

"happiness?!"

The previous comments were already enough to discourage Shinohara, but when he heard the last word, he was stunned.

The feeling of happiness?

what the hell!

Touma Kazusa looked at him: "Delicious food should make people feel happy, shouldn't it?"

"Delicious food should make people feel happy..."

Shinohara lowered his head and pondered the sentence, lost in thought for a moment.

Yup!

Cuisine should bring happiness and joy. Focusing solely on style and the perfection of ingredients is putting the cart before the horse.

A dish is good as long as it satisfies the customers and makes them happy!

Does it really matter whether the style is elegant or not, or whether the ingredients are perfect?

It's important, but not that important!

In an instant, Shinohara thought of many things. After a long while, she finally let out a long sigh and bowed deeply to Touma Kazusa: "I have learned a lot!"

Not only Touma was stunned, but the apprentices and customers in the shop were all dumbfounded.

Please!

This is Master Shinohara!

The head chef of the Shinohara restaurant in Tokyo, a man who has studied kaiseki cuisine for decades, actually bowed so deeply to a little girl!

I feel like I'm hallucinating!

They were just saying that the young girl didn't know how to eat and was just there to cause trouble, but even the shop owner was impressed by her.

That was a resounding slap in the face.

Shinohara took a deep breath and asked a question that had been bothering her: "Excuse me, which chef served you that egg fried rice that made you feel so happy?"

(Posting a long chapter.)*

Chapter Fifteen: For the sake of delicious food, I'll risk everything! (Please collect, give flowers, comment, and rate!) Master?

Touma hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. The other person is not a culinary master, just a classmate of mine."

Shinohara was stunned: "Classmate? You mean, he's still just a student?"

"Yes."

Touma nodded: "However, it is said that he has a great talent for cooking. He once cooked two dishes in front of others. One was curry, which caused the whole class to scramble for it. Unfortunately, I wasn't there at the time. The other was the fried rice with egg that I ate."

"Excuse me for being frank, but most customers might find your fried rice delicious and tasty. However, I made his fried rice before, and the difference in taste is quite significant; he simply can't stomach it."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding shop assistants, apprentices, and diners began to feel indignant again.

what!

It turns out he was just an ordinary student, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly in front of Shinohara-san!

They really are here to cause trouble!

No matter how delicious a plate of fried rice is, it's still just fried rice!

Is it comparable to kaiseki cuisine prepared by a master chef?

It's important to know that the ingredients used in kaiseki cuisine are all high-end products that have been rigorously selected and cannot be easily bought at street markets.

This alone makes it way better than any fried rice!

However, some people are curious: "Really? It's just a plate of fried rice, and you're making it sound like it's an absolute delicacy! Is it really that delicious?"

Mr. Shinohara thought for a moment and said, "Could you introduce me to your classmate?"

"Feel sorry……"

Touma hesitated and shook his head.

She has no right to make decisions for Lin Youshu.

Besides, I don't want to go through that trouble.

"Okay, I'm sorry."

It's a real shame about Shinohara.

He actually believed what the little girl said.

Because some people are indeed culinary geniuses, but unfortunately they didn't receive good skills training and ended up becoming just an ordinary chef whose dishes are passable.

This is a huge waste of talent!

He wanted to see if the classmate the little girl mentioned truly possessed such extraordinary talent.

If it's true, then even if I can't take him as a disciple, I'm willing to help recommend him to study under other culinary masters.

This is a story of a senior mentoring a talented junior.

Mr. Shinohara said, "If he is interested in kaiseki cuisine, he can bring him to our restaurant for a visit, and I will personally serve him."

"OK, thanks."

Touma nodded in agreement, but didn't take it to heart.

To show his sincerity, Mr. Shinohara decided to waive Touma's bill for this meal and personally escorted her out of the store before returning to the kitchen.

After thinking about it, I called an old friend I hadn't seen in a long time.

"Zhao-san? This is Shinohara. Here's what happened..."

……

Touma Kazusa, having left Shinohara, wanders aimlessly through the streets.

Even though I just had a dessert, I still feel a bit hungry.

After all, she doesn't have much food in her stomach after a whole day.

The problem is that even though she loves sweets, she will still get tired of eating only desserts for several meals in a row.

Her body also couldn't accept that she only ate sweets and didn't consume other nutrients.

What if I can't eat meals or desserts?

She remembered the fried rice with eggs she had eaten on the rooftop.

"It smells so good, it tastes so good..."

Unfortunately, it only happened once.

When I thought of fried rice with eggs, Lin Youshu also came to mind.

"whispering sound!"

She frowned instinctively.

"Never mind, let's talk about it when we get home."

I patted my stomach and saw a crepe vendor on the roadside, so I bought one. But after taking a couple of bites, I didn't want any more.

Ugh, so cloying!

"Oops!"
