Day in Infinity

After training in swordsmanship, it was time for cultural studies. Li Ke began to painfully learn Japanese and English, and even German and French.

This was also arranged by Erina, and it was also the most painful time for Li Ke.

But this is not the most painful thing, the most painful thing is——

"Does that mean I still have to go to class?"

Looking at the schedule Erina gave him, Li Ke's eyes twitched.

"Yes, Totsuki Academy also attaches great importance to attendance rate."

Erina shook her blonde hair as a matter of course. There was one thing she didn't tell Li Ke, which was that she wanted to take classes with Li Ke and experience the feeling of being a young couple.

After all, the speed at which they got to know each other and decided to get married was too fast, and she wanted to experience a little bit of student love.

"Okay, but Erina."

"Ah."

"I will stay here for a week at most. After all, there are companions waiting for me in another world."

Li Ke's words made Erina tremble, and then she nodded quietly.

"oh, I understand now."

After saying that, she thought for a while and then spoke to Li Ke.

"Then, pick an unlucky guy and defeat him, and become one of the top ten. If you are one of the top ten, you can skip classes to a certain extent."

Li Ke understood instantly and asked.

"Who do you dislike the most?"

"No."

Erina Nakiri is as mature as ever.

Chapter 77: Raging Heart

Since Erina doesn't dislike anyone, this means one thing to Li Ke.

He can find someone he dislikes to challenge.

As for how he is qualified to challenge, that is something Erina has to deal with. It's like he is obviously an adult, but the identity set by Erina is the same age as the other party. This is what Erina is doing.

"But who should I choose?"

Li Ke was flipping through the information of the so-called Ten Great Masters of Totsuki.

Li Ke really wanted to laugh at these information and titles that clearly had a middle school vibe, but as a mature person, he did not laugh.

However, after looking at these people's specialties, Li Ke saw a yellow-haired figure.

Then his blood pressure went up.

This yellow-haired guy specializes in Chinese cuisine, or Chinese food.

However, this guy doesn't seem to be the kind of person who learns everything as others think.

This guy specializes in Sichuan cuisine and claims that Sichuan cuisine is the authentic Chinese cuisine. He also drives away people who are learning other Chinese cuisines.

Li Ke had no objection to people from other countries learning Chinese cuisine, and there was nothing to say about their pursuit of delicious food.

But this guy cooks Sichuan cuisine and nothing else but chili, chili, and more chili.

But the problem is.

Chili peppers were introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty.

And as for the Japanese people's tolerance for chili peppers...

Li Ke has always thought this is very strange. The Japanese are very accepting of mustard, but most of them cannot accept chili peppers.

And when it comes to Chinese food, the first thing that comes to mind is Mapo Tofu, as if this is the only dish in the world.

And he took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw the words "specialized in mapo tofu" in the introduction of this person named Kuga Teruki.

The most important thing is that after Li Ke took a look, his blood pressure rose even higher.

Because of this bastard, he made Mapo Tofu.

No peppercorns.

Although I knew that this was Mapo Tofu, a Japanese style dish, the other party still wrote two words on it.

authentic.

"Authentic... Although I can't cook, this guy is so arrogant."

The corner of Li Ke's eye twitched.

"Just based on the word authentic, I'll choose you, you unlucky bastard."

He was just picking an unlucky guy, and he had no intention of reviving Chinese cuisine in this school... After all, he was not a professional chef.

I just simply feel annoyed by this guy who claims that Sichuan cuisine is the only Chinese cuisine.

"Oh, is it really him?"

Erina looked at the person Li Ke chose. Although she was a little surprised, she naturally understood after thinking about Li Ke's nationality.

"You people from big countries are really strict. In that case, I will teach you how to make Mapo Tofu. Although I probably won't use the authentic Chinese method, this is Japan after all, so you better be patient."

Unable to resist a complaint, Erina turned on her phone and started typing a text message to her secretary Hisako, asking her to contact Kuga Teruki so that she could meet with the other party.

After all, each of the top ten is very busy.

"Okay."

Li Ke didn't have any objection, but soon, he was criticized by Erina.

"Are you really from China? Why don't you know as much about cooking Chinese food as I do?"

Li Ke: “…………”

Although Erina complained that he had no talent as a chef, Li Ke still learned how to make mapo tofu to the point where it wouldn't stick to the pan.

At this time, Erina's secretary, Hisako Arata, came here and brought two people with her.

One was Mito Yumei, whom Li Ke had met before, and the other was the unlucky guy chosen by Li Ke, Kuga Teruki.

"Hey, Erina, I heard that you were planning to be the middleman and let a freshman bet with me on my title of the Ten Elites in a food battle?"

Kuga Teruki looked at Li Ke's clumsy knife skills and the indescribable mapo tofu on the side and couldn't help but sneer.

"You don't want to let this guy fight me in a food battle, do you? I don't think he can defeat his opponent even if he goes to the elementary school of Totsuki."

His attitude was quite arrogant. If it was Erina and him having a food battle, he wouldn't be so arrogant. But just looking at the mapo tofu made by Li Ke, he couldn't help but get angry.

Although I don't know what Erina is thinking, but asking him to compete with a chef of this level, isn't that an insult to him?

Although Erina offered very good conditions, he was still worried about whether Erina would do anything to the competition if he had to compete with such a person.

"You don't need to worry about the strength of your opponent. The same goes for the fairness of the food battle. You don't need to worry about anything."

Erina saw what he was thinking and spoke directly.

"So what's your answer?"

Although she had no interest in Kuga Teruki, since he was the unlucky guy that Li Ke had found, she would not be polite.

"I'm just curious about who he is. Why would you want him to step on me to get to the top?"

Kuga Teruki looked at Erina speechlessly.

"But Erina, there's no chance this guy will defeat me, so forget it. I have no interest in your affairs."

Li Ke looked at Kuga Teruki who had an expression that said 'don't get close to me', and couldn't help but think for a moment, then silently picked up the plate.

"After talking so much, why not try it? Not as a food battle, but as a judgment on whether I can be your rival."

But Kuga Teruki just took a look at the mapo tofu that Li Ke brought over and spoke with disdain.

It's really not his fault.

"The tofu you cut are of different sizes, which proves that your right hand holding the knife is not good enough, which makes you not confident when cutting. There are a lot of burn marks on the tofu, and some are even broken, which proves that your hand holding the pot is weak, so the tofu cannot be turned over quickly. You can only turn it over slowly with a spatula, and thus pierce the tofu that was not cut well. The timing and order of the seasonings, as well as the heat, are all wrong, which proves that you did not prepare all the ingredients at once when you were preparing. This proves that your steps are superficial and you haven't done the basics well!"

"Humph! Your right hand is not skilled, your left hand is weak, and your steps are loose. How can you compete with me on the same stage? Chinese cuisine is profound and extensive. Go back and practice for 20,000 years before coming to me again!"

Kuga Teruki gave a precise and sharp review of Li Ke's dishes, and neither Li Ke nor Erina could refute it because what the other said was true.

"Give it a try."

Li Ke still kept smiling, but this was the second time she activated her ability, and she even put the plate in front of Kuga Teruki.

And Kuga Teruki also kept a smile like Li Ke, and still maintained an unyielding expression. He looked at Li Ke as if he was looking at garbage, and then snorted coldly.

"Ha, this kind of thing is obviously not tasty, even if it is called garbage, I still speak up for garbage. I will chew on the garbage can, jump out from here, die, die outside, and eat sweet tofu pudding! I won't..."

But just as he was speaking, the aroma of Mapo Tofu that Li Ke had given him power reached his nose.

The fresh, fragrant and spicy taste instantly occupied Kuga Teruki's brain. He just stood there in a daze, looking at the mapo tofu in Li Ke's hand in disbelief, which looked like garbage to him.

Just by smelling the scent, his tongue began to feel hot, his cheeks turned red, his breathing became rapid, and even his tongue felt spicy and as tender as tofu!

He loves Sichuan cuisine very much, otherwise he would not regard it as the only authentic cuisine of China.

Because of this, he was able to conquer most Japanese people who don't like eating chili peppers with Sichuan cuisine and became one of the top ten.

His enthusiasm is beyond words.

So the moment he smelled this scent, only one thought remained in his mind.

“…Take a bite.”

"what?"

"I said! Let me have a bite!"

Kuga Teruki impatiently snatched the plate from Li Ke's hand, then quickly ate a spoonful, and then the next moment.

He felt a fire in his heart.

exploded.

"I have always wanted to be an artist!"

He put down the Mapo Tofu, picked up his childhood hobby, picked up the basin beside him, and started beating rhythmically and singing loudly.

It can be said to be extremely violent.

Chapter 78: The Cheating Chef’s Journey

As time went by, Kuga Teruki returned to normal, but when he looked at Li Ke's stove, and then at the Mapo Tofu that had made him fall into hallucinations and regained his passion for music and rock, he felt that his worldview was distorted.

All my previous training and learning were shit!

He worked so hard for so long, demanding perfection in every step, but in the end he even beat the cooking of Li Ke, an obviously second-rate chef!

That kind of knife skills are obviously only for cooking home-cooked dishes! Even people who don’t cook home-cooked dishes often are not familiar with the use of knives!

Kuga Teruki looked at the cut marks on Li Ke's fingers and felt his mind become even more confused.

There are cut marks on the skin of the fingers, which means that Li Ke almost cut his hand while cutting vegetables, which further proves Li Ke's unprofessionalism.

But that's the kind of person he is.

That's the kind of person!

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How is this possible! Your cooking skills are so bad! And you didn't consider the Japanese people's aesthetic tastes and preferences when choosing ingredients. None of the heat, seasoning, etc. are correct! How is this possible! How is this possible!!"

Kuga Teruki grabbed his hair in agony and fell to his knees. He didn’t understand! He didn’t understand!

He looked at Li Ke with his eyes bulging, and he really couldn't understand why.

Li Ke felt a little embarrassed when he was looked at by him. He was not a professional chef in this world, so he could not really understand Kuga Teruki's current mood. However, in order to make the atmosphere less awkward, he still spoke.

"Ahem, isn't there a saying that a believing heart is magic... No, a believing heart is the best seasoning. As long as you have a heart that wants to cook every dish well, you can naturally discard everything and cook the most delicious dish. That's probably the truth."

Li Ke's words stunned Kuga Teruki and everyone present. It was obvious that his words had the effect of a cold joke.

"This is really..."

Erina couldn't help but cover her face.
