Shirou's clones number 30 million

"This is absolutely spectacular! The world's largest blue whale is only about 30 meters long, these three big fish must be over 100 meters long, right?"

"More than that! The biggest one must be at least 150."

"Are these really fish? They look more like deep-sea monsters."

"The chairman is so generous! Such a big fish, and he actually let us cook it. It's such an honor!!"

Amidst the bustling crowd, Soma Yukihira, holding Megumi Tadokoro's hand, walked around the three-headed sea king again and again.

"Xiao Hui, have you decided how to cook this big fish?"

"I don't know. These fish are too big. Even if one person works for several days and nights, it's unlikely they could finish processing them all. But if everyone works together, it's easy to damage the integrity of the ingredients."

"It's impossible to preserve their integrity! These three fish are just too big, over a hundred meters long. Even if we used a hundred cranes, it wouldn't make a difference."

"There must be a way, right? Otherwise, how were they transported here?"

Hearing the voices, Tadokoro Megumi looked around, but still couldn't find any signs of towing.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, the surfaces of these large fish were intact and very fresh, as if they had just been pulled from the sea.

Soma Yukihira stopped and smiled:

"Now that you mention it, the chairman is truly amazing! He managed to get his hands on three big fish without anyone noticing."

"It's such a waste to give us such amazing ingredients," Tadokoro Megumi said, looking uneasy.

Soma Yukihira paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Then let's put all our effort into processing this ingredient. The fact that the chairman is willing to use it in the entrance exam is enough to show that he has something even better."

He had barely finished speaking when a voice came from behind him:

“That’s right, I have even better ones.”

Soma Yukihira quickly turned around and saw Shirou walking over with Yaeko Minezaki. He quickly greeted them:

"Chairman! What do you mean by 'better ingredients'?"

"You want to know?"

"Uh-huh."

"A giant sea monster with a body length exceeding five thousand meters."

"Sea Kings? Ah... that's what these huge fish are called, right? Over five thousand meters long? I can't even imagine it, are they even fish?"

Five thousand meters! Five thousand meters?

Soma Yukihira thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what a 5,000-meter-deep sea king would look like.

"Chairman, the dish you served to everyone on the day of enrollment used these ingredients, right?"

"That's right, can you make that level of cuisine?" Shirou chuckled.

Soma Yukihira paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then said very seriously:

“Someday in the future, I will definitely surpass that person. But today, my goal is to make a dish that doesn’t waste this ingredient.”

"Haha..." Shirou couldn't help but laugh. "I like people who know their own limitations. Well then, let's see how you perform."

Seeing the growing number of reporters around her, Yaeko Minegasaki leaned closer to Shirou and whispered:

"Boss, these three fish are huge, several times larger than the largest animals in the world. Won't it cause trouble if we just leave them here?"

"Trouble? What trouble?"

"Exactly, what if someone tries to snatch it up?"

"Who dares?"

"Uh...that's true."

Minegasaki Yaeko breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself:

It seems I haven't adjusted my mindset yet. The BOSS isn't just a construction businessman; he's a super BOSS who can decide who becomes the prime minister.

"Actually, one fish is enough. Putting three here together seems a bit wasteful."

"Don't worry, I have many more of these sea kings. These three aren't even appetizers."

As they were talking, Shirou noticed that Joichiro Yukihira was not far away, carefully observing the Sea Kings.

Soma Yukihira followed his gaze and quickly noticed his father's figure, and couldn't help but go up to greet him:

"Dad, what brings you here?"

Yukihira Joichiro snapped out of his daze and laughed:

"Today is your first day of school, how could I not come?"

As the son who had personally "sold" his son to a multinational businessman, he naturally wanted to see what the school was like.

But to my surprise, I saw three giant fish that were over 100 meters long as soon as I arrived.

Then, thinking about various anatomical methods, I became engrossed in reading them without even realizing it.

"Sōma, is this the material for your exam today?"

"Yes, although there are many other ingredients, after seeing such a big fish, I think no one will use ordinary ingredients as the main ingredient anymore."

Soma, how have I usually treated you?

Soma Yukihira paused for a moment, then couldn't help but say:

"Dad! How dare you say such a thing? Didn't you sell me off before?"

"Haha... Thanks to this, you had the opportunity to process this ingredient, didn't you?"

"That's true, so I don't blame you. Dad, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"When you're preparing the dish later, could you secretly save some ingredients for me? I can try it when I get home."

Shirou, who was not far from the two, naturally heard their conversation clearly.

Seeing this, he walked to the two of them and said with a smile:

“Mr. Shiro, if you are interested in this ingredient, why not join our Zhengyang Academy and become a lecturer? That way, this ingredient can be supplied in unlimited quantities in the future.”

Joichiro Yukihira looked tempted, hesitated for a long time, and then shook his head in refusal.

"These are really tempting conditions, but I am a graduate of Totsuki Academy. If I join your Seiyo Academy, I feel like I would be doing the Commander a disservice."

"Haha... Every chef has the idea of ​​improving their culinary skills and reaching the pinnacle. For Mr. Joichiro, are things other than culinary skills more important?"

"This……"

Yukihira Joichiro was speechless for a long time, his eyes filled with hesitation.

His intuition told him that the other party would bring out even more novel ingredients in the future, and that this was a one-of-a-kind product.

This is very attractive to chefs.

But she was somewhat unwilling to sell herself off like this.

"If Mr. Shiro Ichiro is not willing to teach regularly, he can serve as an honorary lecturer and give a lesson to the students occasionally. The time is up to you, and even if it is only one lesson per semester, I will not interfere."

"make a deal!"

Soma Yukihira glanced back and forth between the two men, his gaze lingering on his father, thinking to himself:

Dad! You're so indecisive! You just agreed?

But, if Dad comes to the school to be a teacher, can he handle it?

Chapter 87 If that's all, it's not enough.

Section 88, Chapter 87: That's not enough.

"I have absolutely no idea where to begin."

Looking at the enormous fish before him, Soma Yukihira sighed softly, then turned to Joichiro Yukihira and asked:

"Dad, have you figured out how to dissect this fish? It's such a big fish, you can't just cut off any piece of meat, can you?"

"Haha... Now that I'm a teacher, all I can say to you on this important day of entrance exams is—do what you're good at."

Yukihira Joichiro chuckled and patted his head before continuing to observe the fish, mentally simulating the dissection process.

Giant fish, even marine creatures, exceeding 100 meters in length, must have skeletal structures and flesh textures that differ from those of ordinary animals to maintain such a massive size.

Of course, studying animal body structure is the domain of biologists.

As a chef, you don't need to think too much; just find ways to make the ingredients more delicious.

"Well then, it's about time I got started."

After mentally rehearsing it, Yukihira Joichiro walked up to Shirou and said with a smile:

"Could we bring a set of kitchen utensils from the school? I'd like to try it out."

"Is it here?"

Shirou looked around, his eyes filled with astonishment.

There are people coming and going here, reporters, students and parents everywhere, it doesn't seem appropriate at all.

“The ingredients are too big, and it’s inconvenient to transport them, so let’s do it here.” Yukihira Joichiro paused for a moment. “By the way, could you lend me two of your bodyguards? They need to be strong.”

"No problem, I'll arrange it this way."

Shirou nodded slightly, then shifted his gaze to Yaeko Minezaki.

......

Nakiri family.

"Mom, dinner's ready."

Finding the restaurant empty, Erina Nakiri sighed in exasperation.

As she walked down the corridor, she soon saw her mother putting on makeup in front of the dressing mirror.

"What are you doing? Finish your meal first."

"I can't eat anymore, I'm not eating anymore."
