Food Wars!: Delicious Food of the Heavens

Chapter 86 Astonished Gaze

"What a huge fire!"

"No way!"

"Is this transfer student really that amazing?"

"Such a big fire, won't it burn people?"

"That pot looked really hot; I don't know how this guy was holding it."

"That's terrifying! Is this some kind of stunt show?"

The moment the raging flames rose, the light brightened the entire classroom, drawing everyone's attention.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the towering pillar of fire rising in the center of the classroom, and at the figure standing calmly in front of the flames, facing the firelight head-on.

Although Alice Cherisha, Ryo Kurokiba, Miyoko Hojo, and others performed slightly better, the emotions surging in their eyes were still overwhelmingly shocking.

"Wow!"

"What a huge fire!"

Alice Nakiri covered her mouth, her face filled with disbelief, even her crimson pupils widened in intense surprise.

"Although I know that most Chinese chefs are skilled in fire control and are known for their ability to wield intense flames."

"But seeing it with my own eyes... it still seems exaggerated!"

Alice's area of ​​expertise is molecular gastronomy.

In her daily cooking, she often comes into contact with various scientific instruments. Although they are large and magnificent, their appearance gives people a cold feeling.

Seeing Lin Yu wielding such raging flames was like a stunt performance, which she found both impressive and fascinating.

Alice Nakiri even poked Miyoko Hojo's arm with her finger, asking curiously, "Hey! Partner, can you do that too?"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Miyoko's lips curled into a grin, and she almost lost control of her expression.

She figured it out.

Although Alice Nakiri also thought Lin Yu's control over the flames was impressive, perhaps because she was different from Lin Yu, she didn't have a particularly direct feeling about it.

But it's different for me, whose specialty is also Chinese cuisine!

Miyoko Hojo let out a long sigh, her expression becoming extremely serious, even somewhat solemn.

"I...can't do it!"

Hojo Miyoko hesitated for a moment. Although she was very unwilling, her proud personality made it impossible for her to lie against her conscience, and she finally gave the truth.

"Lin Yu... he's amazing, truly incredible!"

Because her area of ​​expertise is also Chinese cuisine, Hojo Miyoko is able to better understand the scene before her.

The more Hojo Miyoko looked, the more horrified she became. The firelight illuminated her face, and an indescribable shock welled up inside her.

Even in the end, her mind was completely filled with shock, so full that she couldn't think of anything else.

After an unknown amount of time, when she regained her senses, she composed herself, suppressed her shock, and slowly uttered, "A master!"

The whispers among the crowd contrasted sharply with Lin Yu's composure.

Even Kikuchi Sonoka on the podium had a glint in her eyes, covered her mouth, and showed a somewhat surprised smile.

"oops!"

She smiled lightly.

"Looks like I've got a really impressive junior colleague on my project today!"

"I'm so lucky!"

"Then let me look forward to your cooking, you outstanding junior who's good at playing with fire..."

""

Although Lin Yu's commotion attracted attention from all sides of the classroom, the entire process was actually very short.

The ingredients tumbled in the intense heat, cooking rapidly both inside and out.

In just over ten seconds, Lin Yu removed the wok from the heat after tossing it one last time.

Lin Yu scooped the shredded beef with green peppers from the pot onto a plate.

On the pristine white plates, ingredients are piled high, steam rising from them.

Brown beef strips, yellow bamboo shoot strips, and green bell pepper strips.

Three colors of fine, evenly thick shreds are stacked on the plate, creating a visually appealing color combination.

Lin Yu then sprinkled in some dried chili threads, cut even thinner than a strand of hair, adding a bright red hue to the dish.

This makes the dish, which is full of wok hei (wok aroma), look even more appealing.

"Hisa sand!"

"I'm all set on my end!"

Lin Yu instructed Hisako Niito, "I reckon the sauce in your pot should have thickened by now, right?"

Hisako Niito lifted the lid, glanced at the sauce, and immediately replied, "That's right! The sauce has thickened considerably!"

"Okay!" Lin Yu nodded. "Then take the pork chops out, slice them, and plate them!"

"Oh, right!"

Lin Yu added, "Remember to pour the sauce from the pot over it!"

"clear!"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's instructions, Hisako Shinto quickly removed the pork chops from the pot, cut them into pieces, and poured them into the thickened sauce.

The pork shoulder, after being pan-fried and stewed, now lies in the center of a pristine white plate.

The pork is covered with a thick, amber-colored sauce, and the cut surface still retains an enticing pink color, with fragrant juices seeping out from the gaps in the pork's muscle fibers.

Hisako Shinto carefully wiped the sauce off the edge of the plate, and then, as Lin Yu instructed, sprinkled chopped green onions and goji berries on the pork cutlet, adding a touch of flavor and serving as a final garnish.

"It smells so good!"

Looking at the beautiful dish in front of her, Hisako Shinoto subconsciously sniffed the aroma in the air.

The aroma of meat in the air was rich and enticing, making one's mouth water.

The fruity aroma is very mild; upon closer inspection, it seems to carry a hint of apple and longan fragrance, as well as the sweet and sour taste of pineapple.

The aftertaste of the aroma is that of white wine.

The various aromas intertwine, yet blend together harmoniously.

The fruity aroma, in particular, made Hisako Shinodo's nose itch slightly, and she couldn't help but smile happily.

At this moment, Lin Yu also came over carrying the plate of shredded pork with green peppers.

He glanced at the color and consistency of the sauce drizzled over the pork chop, then moved closer to the dish, sniffed the aroma in the air, and nodded in satisfaction.

"This looks good; this pork chop is sure to be delicious!"

"Of course!"

Hearing Lin Yu's praise, Hisako Shinto was quite happy.

"Although most of the credit goes to you, I didn't do much."

"However! I did a very good job on what you asked me to do!"

"Good! Worthy of praise!" Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Hmph! That's right!" Hisako Shinoto snorted smugly.

"Oh, right."

""

Hisako Shinto hadn't forgotten the "yam ice cream" that Lin Yu had been so enthusiastic about making earlier.

She took the shredded beef with green peppers that Lin Yu handed her, put it together with the stewed pork chop with apples, and then looked at him with some worry.

"That impromptu dish you came up with on a whim... should we still serve it?"
