Food Wars!: Delicious Food of the Heavens

Chapter 73 Lin Yu's Response

"Erina."

Lin Yu also felt that he had no choice but to speak his mind.

First of all, thank you for your meal!

"unnecessary!"

Erina Nakiri didn't look at Lin Yu, keeping her face turned to the side, her tone was sharp, and she clearly still harbored resentment.

"Just consider it feeding the stray cats and dogs on the street!"

Lin Yu sighed, feeling both amused and exasperated, but continued, "Secondly, I know you consider me a friend and genuinely care about me, which is why you've gone to such lengths to persuade me."

"Then why..."

'

Just as Erina Nakiri was about to say something, Lin Yu interrupted her in a serious tone.

"but!"

Lin Yu changed the subject.

Even after hearing all that you've said, I still feel...

"The so-called 'path' is something that can only be understood through one's own experience; it can never be learned by simply copying others' ideas."

","you!"

Erina Nakiri was so angry that she trembled all over, and wanted to punch the despicable guy in front of her.

But seeing the equally serious expression on Lin Yu's face and the determination in his eyes, Kiri Erina felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness and frustration.

"Did all that I just said go to waste?" Kirei Erina was still a little unwilling to give up.

Lin Yu lowered his head and sighed, "I'm sorry, Erina!"

Erina Nakiri also fell silent, and an eerie silence descended between them.

"Erina!"

After a long silence, Lin Yu suddenly spoke.

Erina Nakiri was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Lin Yu raised his hand and pointed behind Erina.

"Um, could you open it for a moment?"

Erina Nakiri turned around and looked in the direction Lin Yu was pointing, and saw a deep fryer on the kitchen counter.

"Sure, what do you want to do?"

"Seeing you make such delicious food makes me want to try it myself."

Lin Yu smiled gently, "Just consider it a small experiment, is that alright?"

Although she was somewhat puzzled by Lin Yu's actions, Kirie Erina still opened the fryer for him and poured some oil into it.

As the oil temperature rose, Lin Yu took out several thick scallions from the kitchen's ingredient cabinet.

Lin Yu skillfully peeled away the outer layer of the scallion, leaving only the freshest and whitest inner layer.

A flash of cold light, followed by the rhythmic sound of blades falling.

Lin Yu placed the washed scallions side by side on the cutting board and quickly sliced ​​them into moderately thick slices using a diagonal knife technique.

In the oil pan, a little white smoke began to rise from the surface of the hot oil.

Once the oil reached the right temperature, Lin Yu lifted the cutting board, gave it a gentle shake, and a board full of scallions slid smoothly into the oil.

With a sizzling sound, dense bubbles rose from the oil in the pan, and tender scallions tumbled in the hot oil.

The fresh yet rich aroma of scallions begins to waft through the air, and the surface of the scallions begins to turn a slightly charred golden yellow.

At the same time, Lin Yu set up a pot on the stove, lit the flame at the highest setting, and then let the pot burn in the fire.

Lin Yu acted swiftly, ignoring the pot on the fire, and instead took a spray bottle, poured a bottle of [96-degree water of life] into it, and placed it within easy reach.

Watching Lin Yu's somewhat strange actions, Erina Kiri and Hisako Shinoto, who were watching from the side, were filled with doubt and confusion.

Just a second before the two women couldn't hold back any longer and were about to ask a question.

Lin Yu finally retrieved the A5 Wagyu beef from the counter, swung his knife, and sliced ​​off a thick piece from the large cut.

Could it be that he wants to make steak like me?

Could it be that he also wants to learn how to make steak like Lady Erina?

But just as the idea arose in the minds of Erina Kirito and Hisako Shinoto.

Under their shocked gazes, Lin Yu swiftly and skillfully sliced ​​the large, thick steak into finger-thick slices.

Hisako Niito was still in shock and confusion.

But Erina Kiri, who had been deep in thought, suddenly had a bright look in her eyes.

She believed she had guessed Lin Yu's thoughts!

But... will it work?

Despite some doubts, Kiri Erina decided to trust Lin Yu one more time.

She suppressed her doubts and, with a nervous heart, focused intently on observing Lin Yu's movements.

Just as Lin Yu finished cutting the beef and hadn't made his next move, Erina suddenly moved.

Just as the scallions were bubbling in the hot oil, their fresh aroma and sweetness were fully released, Kiri Erina, who had been watching the oil pan closely, took the initiative, picked up the frying basket, and scooped all the scallions out of the oil.

Lin Yu watched Erina Kiri's actions, raised an eyebrow, and smiled.

Erina Nakiri gave a slightly smug smile, turned the frying basket, and handed the handle to Lin Yu.

When she met Lin Yu's gaze, Kiri Erina did not flinch at all. Instead, she proudly raised her chin, revealing her smooth neck.

"What? Time's up?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Thank you."

"Oh!"

"Ha ha!"

The two of them chuckled softly in unison.

At this moment, the pot that was still burning empty on the stove was already scalding hot.

Lin Yu chuckled, took the frying basket from Erina Nakiri, and poured all the fragrant fried scallions into the pot.

At the same time, Lin Yu raised the brandy bottle with his other hand, and the fragrant liquor was poured into the pot along with the side of the pot.

Lin Yu didn't pour in much brandy, and given the extremely high temperature inside the pot, the liquid was very hot when it came into contact with the scalding pot wall.

All I heard was a "sizzle" sound!

A plume of steam rose from the pot, the brandy's moisture evaporated by the high temperature, leaving only a rich aroma that blended with the freshness and sweetness of the scallions.

Lin Yu tossed the wok with one hand while simultaneously pouring in thick slices of A5 Wagyu beef.

As the ingredients were tossed to the edge of the pot, they were licked by the fire snakes that were climbing up from below. The small amount of oil and alcohol attached to the ingredients was ignited, and a faint flame appeared in the pot.

But this is exactly the effect Lin Yu wanted.

Do not!

That's not enough!

Lin Yu grabbed the spray bottle he had prepared beforehand, which was filled with high-proof vodka, and sprayed it forcefully into the wok twice.

In an instant, the fierce flames, like a wild beast out of control, suddenly burst out of the pot and shot up more than a meter high.

Erina Kiri and Hisako Shinoto, who were watching intently, were startled and instinctively took two steps back.

Lin Yu leaned back slightly, avoiding a wisp of flame that almost scorched his eyelashes.

The flames began to recede into the pot, and Lin Yu continued to tossing the pot, his movements fast, fierce, and decisive.

The ingredients in the pot were tossed out one second and fell back into the pot the next, depending on Lin Yu's movements.

The scene in the pot was completely engulfed by fierce flames. The scallions and beef were wrapped in flames, constantly rolling, dancing, and soaring, releasing an amazingly rich aroma.
