Food Wars!: Delicious Food of the Heavens

Watching the steam rising from the plate and feeling the strong wok hei (wok aroma), Isshiki Satoshi subconsciously swallowed her saliva and eagerly picked up a piece of bok choy and put it in her mouth.

The moment it entered his mouth, the intense wok hei (wok aroma) combined with the refreshing taste of the vegetables delivered a powerful punch to his taste buds.

It has a refreshing, light vegetable aroma, but its impact is surprisingly strong.

Biting into it, the stem is crisp and refreshing, while the green leaves are tender and delicate.

Chewing slowly, the delicate aroma of chicken oil lingers on the tip of the tongue, bringing a sense of pleasure.

"This is so delicious!"

It was just a simple stir-fried vegetable dish, but it moved Isshiki Satoshi, who is quite skilled at cooking, to tears.

"Wow, even Isshiki-senpai's expression changed."

"Just stir-fried vegetables? Is it really that exaggerated?"

"You still doubt Lin Yu's cooking skills? It's definitely delicious!"

The people in Polaris Dormitory started discussing it curiously.

Lin Yu banged on the wok, and the loud noise drew everyone's attention.

"Alright, everyone!"

"There's some cooked congee here, everyone please have some so it doesn't get cold."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the members of Polar Star Dormitory erupted in cheers.

"Long live Lin Yujun!"

"Thank you, Lin Yu!"

Everyone rushed forward, ladled out a bowl of white porridge, and eagerly picked up a piece of stir-fried greens with their chopsticks and put it in their mouths.

"tasty!"

"It's just green vegetables, but the flavor is so strong, it's delicious!"

"Yes, but this strong flavor didn't mask the fresh, crisp taste of the vegetables; on the contrary, it further enhanced their refreshing quality!"

"How did you do that?"

"Don't even think about it. Didn't you see that flame in the pot just now? Without Lin Yu's level of skill in controlling the heat, it's impossible to retain the crispness and tenderness of the vegetables while also achieving such a strong wok hei (wok aroma)."

"It seems I won't be able to learn it."

"Don't just eat stir-fried vegetables! Drink some porridge, this plain porridge is amazing! It will absolutely blow your mind!"

"Indeed, the meat is rich in flavor, while the rice has a delicate aroma; the two flavors are perfectly balanced!"

"My goodness! To have a bowl of porridge like this first thing in the morning is just too wonderful!"

Seeing everyone's heartfelt praise, Lin Yu smiled, genuinely happy at that moment.

When the chopsticks made a crisp sound as they touched the smooth bottom of the plate, everyone realized that they had finished the entire plate of stir-fried bok choy, and there wasn't a single drop of white porridge left in the casserole.

Yoshino Yuuki rubbed her round belly and looked at Lin Yu with a grin. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly let out a burp.

Even though Yoshino Yuuki is usually cheerful, she blushed with embarrassment at this moment.

"Thank you so much, Lin Yujun! The same goes for yesterday, thank you for making us such a delicious breakfast! Hehe, thanks!"

"You're welcome."

Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand dismissively, "Just consider it daily practice. After all, even without everyone, I need to cook every day to keep my skills sharp."

"However, I enjoy cooking but don't really like washing dishes, so I'll leave the cleaning to you all afterwards, is that alright?"

"Of course, no problem!"

"Since we've eaten Lin Yu's cooking, we can definitely handle this kind of work!"

Seeing that Lin Yu looked like he was about to leave, Isshiki Satoshi asked curiously, "Lin Yu-kun, are you going out?"

"yes."

Lin Yu put on his coat and casually replied.

"I've been here to Totsuki for a while now, but I haven't had a chance to properly explore the campus yet."

"I plan to go to the supermarket today to stock up on some groceries, browse around, and get familiar with the surroundings."

Lin Yu looked at the group, "Anyone want to come along?"

Everyone was in a comfortable state after finishing their meal and didn't want to move, so they all shook their heads, "No, Lin Yujun, you go ahead, have a safe trip."

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Yu left the Polar Star Dormitory.

Sunlight shone on him, and Lin Yu stretched lazily.

"The weather is really nice today!"

"I've been staying in Polar Star Dormitory for a while now, and haven't been out and about in ages. I feel like my body is about to rust."

"Let's take advantage of this rare free time today and do some sightseeing."

Totsuki Culinary Academy, as the largest culinary academy in Japan, has an exaggeratedly large area with countless uniquely designed buildings scattered throughout the campus.

Looking around, walking on campus feels like stepping into some kind of architectural wonder exhibition garden.

As a culinary academy, Totsuki Culinary Academy naturally has a large supermarket inside.

After all, as chefs, students at the school need a lot of ingredients for practice and research on a daily basis, and the demand for various ingredients and seasonings in their daily courses is also enormous.

For Totsuki Academy, which has plenty of money, building a supermarket on campus is a natural thing to do. It can bring economic benefits to the academy and make things convenient for students, achieving the best of both worlds.

Inside the supermarket, Lin Yu pushed a shopping cart, wandering aimlessly.

"Every single item on the shelves is of very high quality! And the variety is also complete."

"As expected of Totsuki Academy?"

Lin Yu browsed around for a while and found that the shelves were full of a wide variety of goods, including vegetables and fruits, meat and seafood, as well as all kinds of seasonings and spices, and even kitchen utensils such as knives, cutting boards and pots. All of them were of excellent quality, and even Lin Yu could not find any fault with them.

"Although the price is a bit high, it's worth the quality."

Lin Yu picked up an apple, held it to his nose, and took a deep breath.

Unlike ordinary apples, which have a faint aroma, the apple in Lin Yu's hand was not only brightly colored and had a smooth skin, but also emitted a rich and captivating apple fragrance even through the peel.

"It smells so good!"

"Buy a few more."

After taking a few apples, Lin Yu then set his sights on the pears on the side.

Lin Yu picked up a pear. It was quite large and felt heavy in his hand. He brought it close to his nose and smelled it. Like the apple he had smelled before, it had a very strong aroma, far exceeding that of other fruits of the same type. However, this time it was a fresh and elegant pear scent.

The enticing aroma of fruit lifted Lin Yu's spirits, and his movements became much lighter.

Watermelon, mango, lychee...

Lin Yu pushed the cart along the way, taking things as he went; he took seven or eight kinds of fruit alone.

In the vegetable section, Lin Yu selected some fresh vegetables.

"Cabbage is in season now, buy some!"

"Snow peas? They look so tender, I'll buy some."

"Chili peppers, preferably fresh bird's eye chilies? I'll buy some!"

"Potatoes, onions, carrots—they keep well anyway, so since I've seen them, I might as well buy some of each."

When passing by the kitchenware section, Lin Yu also picked out a handy Western-style chef's knife for himself.

"Now that we're all here at Totsuki Culinary Academy, we should definitely try different cuisines!"

Lin Yu hummed a leisurely tune as he walked briskly past the shelves, his shopping cart being filled at a visible speed.
