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

They had no doubt about this.

If there's no interaction now, there's even less chance of it in the future.

So some people started thinking about how to get connected with future culinary masters.

"It's a pity my sister is too young, otherwise I might consider it."

"Forget it, look at you, your sister is definitely not that good-looking, no wonder Lin Sang would be interested in her."

"Bullshit, my sister is very cute, okay!"

“I’m telling you, stop embarrassing yourselves here. He’s obviously a young master from a prominent family. He’s not someone we can possibly befriend.”

"Who knows? You can never be sure what rich people's tastes are!"

"..."

Finally, Yoshino couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him with a dark face, "That's enough! Hurry up and finish packing your things and go home. If you're really bored, go help clean the toilet!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly scattered.

……

Lin Youshu had no idea what the cafeteria staff were saying about him behind his back.

I tossed the invitation into my bag and left the school.

"It's a pity that no system mission appeared, otherwise I would most likely have been promoted to a two-star special chef after completing it, and my strength would definitely have improved."

However, he quickly put this regret behind him.

There were more important things waiting for him to do—

Today is Touma Kazusa's birthday!

Although she didn't say it, Lin Youshu specially prepared a mysterious gift for her.

"I wonder what your reaction will be when you see the gift?"

He should be happy. (Fei)

After all, a lot of effort and money was put into it; it would be a huge failure if it didn't achieve the expected results. (Deer)

"Welcome back." (Group)

Hearing the door open, Touma Kazusa turned around and saw that familiar face, instinctively saying... (The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly.)

I'll also exit the mobile page I'm currently browsing.

While changing his shoes, Lin Youshu chuckled and said, "There's an uncle at the school cafeteria who wants to have a cooking contest with me, and he brought out a rather interesting prize as a reward. To satisfy his craving, I was a little late."

"Oh? What's the prize?"

Touma looked slightly surprised. (Durian)

"An invitation to a high-level culinary competition can save you the trouble of preliminary rounds and semi-finals, allowing you to go directly to the knockout stage."

Lin Youshu pulled out the invitation and gestured to it, as if to show off in front of her.

"Oh."

Seeing this, Touma looked away.

She wasn't very interested in cooking competitions or anything like that.

Lin Youshu didn't seem to care: "If we have time later, we can go to the venue together. I heard the contestants are all quite impressive."

Touma hesitated for a moment, then said, "It depends."

She doesn't know anything about cooking, but if she has time, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

"Then it's settled. I'll start cooking!"

Lin Youshu squinted.

As long as she doesn't outright refuse, it means she's somewhat interested. If you invite her a couple more times, she'll naturally agree!

……

Seeing him walk into the kitchen, Touma took out his phone again and started browsing the web.

Question: How can I better express my emotions?

The answers online are varied and numerous.

However, she didn't feel that she had gained much from it.

The more he looked, the tighter his frown became.

"Touma, come help me carry the dishes."

Lin Youshu called out from the kitchen.

"Just come!"

She quickly put down her phone.

Plates of delicious dishes are brought from the kitchen to the dining table.

Touma was surprised.

Tonight's dinner was unexpectedly lavish, and there was even a stunningly beautiful dessert, clearly made especially for her.

Just as I was about to ask, the doorbell rang.

Touma looked at Hayashi Yuuki with curiosity.

Lin Youshu laughed and said, "It should be the things I ordered that have arrived."

"Smimasai, excuse me, are you Mr. Lin?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Hello, this is the cake you ordered."

"Thank you."

Lin Youshu took the beautifully decorated cake box from the staff and closed the door.

"cake?!"

When Touma heard this word, he was stunned and his gaze fell on the large box in the hands of Hayashi Yuuki, who had come back after closing the door.

It's definitely a birthday cake.

Today is her birthday.

She thought it would be the same as before, just spacing out until midnight before going to sleep. But Lin Youshu actually knew it was her birthday and even ordered a cake to celebrate!

so……

This lavish dinner tonight is obviously prepared for her birthday, isn't it?

All of a sudden.

Touma Kazusa felt a lump in her throat and had an urge to cry.

He quickly lowered his head and blinked rapidly.

Then, pretending to be nonchalant, she looked up and asked, "When did you start preparing?"

Lin Youshu placed the cake on the table and chuckled, "Are you talking about the cake or tonight's dinner? Both can be arranged a day in advance. If you're asking when the idea came about, it has to start from about two weeks ago."

Half a month ago?

Touma was stunned again.

Does one's status in another person's eyes really matter that much?

I actually started thinking about her birthday half a month ago.

While feeling pleasantly surprised, I couldn't help but feel nervous, and my heart rate unconsciously increased.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Lin Youshu smiled and said, "Alright, we'll eat the cake, but don't rush, let's eat first. This is a dinner I prepared carefully, it's much better than cream bread. If it weren't for the fact that it's your birthday and you need a cake to set the mood, and you like sweets, I wouldn't have ordered it."

His tone was filled with unspoken doting affection.

In the past, if Touma had heard someone speak to her in that tone, she would have definitely given them a cold shoulder.

who do you think You Are? !

But now, she seems to have gotten used to it.

She was used to Lin Youshu's meticulous care for her, used to having Lin Youshu to rely on, and used to having Lin Youshu make the decisions for her in many things.

Touma remained silent.

Sitting quietly at the dining table, my eyes lingered on the several delicious dishes.

The aroma alone makes my mouth water.

……

"This dish looks a lot like an ear of corn, so it's called 'Prosperous Corn Fish'."

Lin Youshu began to introduce his masterpiece.

The "Prosperous Corn Fish" is a fish shaped like corn kernels, which is incredibly lifelike!

"The method is not difficult. First, debone and remove the bones from half of the grass carp. Then, make horizontal and vertical cuts, controlling the depth to three-quarters of the way through the fish, without breaking the skin, and cut the fish meat into small rectangles that look like corn kernels."

Marinate again with the secret sauce, coat with a 3:7 ratio of flour and starch, and deep-fry in plenty of oil at 60% heat until cooked through.

Choose a small piece of cucumber, carve it into the shape of a corn cob, and use some seaweed shreds as corn silk.

Finally, drizzle with a sauce made from orange juice, and this sweet and sour, appetizing dish of "Rich and Delicious Corn Fish" is complete!

The preparation method is similar to that of squirrel fish and coral fish.

The highlight is the presentation of the dishes, which are visually appealing.

The difficulty lies in the knife skills when cutting the fish, ensuring the size is appropriate; the heat when frying the fish, as the shape is crucial; and the seasoning when thickening the sauce, ensuring the sweet and sour flavors are just right!

Well, it's not too difficult, right?
