Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Soon, the whole venue was filled with the strong aroma of green tea, and Ryo Hayama, who had a very sensitive nose, quickly noticed how powerful Hikigaya was.

"This guy... just took my skills and used them..."

Takumi: "Well, you can still see some of my cooking in this. That's amazing. Hikigaya is such an unreasonable guy..."

At the same time, Erina and Hisako, who were standing in the VIP room, were also a little dumbfounded, because they knew Hisako's cooking very well, and they also understood that a lot of theoretical knowledge was needed on this basis, but...

Erina: "Hisako... am I seeing right? Is this a medicinal food?"

Feishazi shook her head gently: "Even if I can't smell anything here, but... I can see that this is definitely not a medicinal food. After all, it is very different from a medicinal food, but... it is so similar, this is..."

The two women said in unison:

"Tea meal?!"

Although no one has any idea what he learned, as a top chef, it is impossible for him not to know that both tea cuisine and medicinal cuisine require a lot of theoretical knowledge and practice. I have never heard of Hikigaya Hachiman's insights in this regard, and no one has even seen him cook such dishes, but the fact is...

He did it, and in front of everyone.

Yukinoshita smelled the scent of green tea floating in the air, and felt her body gradually defending itself. Then, she smiled faintly as she concentrated so intently on the game:

"Hikigaya-kun, thank you..."

"This black tea dessert is not dedicated to any of the judges, but simply to you..."

The five judges were just excuses. She, Yukinoshita, just wanted to dedicate all the love conveyed by this dish to Hikigaya Hachiman, that's all.

Chapter 102: Yukino's transformation, no need to follow anyone!

Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had been sitting alone in the audience, seemed to have relieved herself of the pressure at this moment. She just breathed a sigh of relief and turned her eyes to Haruno. In such a noisy environment, she just said to herself:

"Yang No, is this the answer you've been looking for?"

At the same time, watching her sister Yukino cheer up again, Haruno just showed a faint smile on her face, and then set her sights on Hikigaya. Hachiman naturally noticed it. To be honest, such a guy would become the most eye-catching existence whenever he appeared in front of the public. Even just a faint smile could capture the hearts of countless people, but...

Only Hachiman could not understand the meaning behind that smile. This person who was so similar to Yukino from the beginning was completely different. This was the first time that Hachiman was unable to see through a person's code of conduct from his expression and actions. Naturally, it made him more alert.

However, on the sacred stage, such unnecessary thinking was nothing but disrespect to the contestants. Hachiman did not think about it any more and simply put all his thoughts on the food in front of him.

An hour passed extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye the two contestants had reached the final stage. No matter whether it was Hikigaya Hachiman or Yukinoshita Yukino, because of their popularity, the attention on both sides could not escape the eyes of the audience.

As expected, Hikigaya was the first to finish. After all, he didn’t hide it this time, so everyone quickly knew what Hikigaya was cooking. However,…

It is still a dish that normal people cannot understand. Various strange combinations are mixed together, which has become very dazzling. If there is the slightest mistake, it will turn into a dark work of cuisine.

Hinatako: "He really has continued his usual style. He is truly worthy of being Hikigaya-kun."

Shinomiya: "I didn't expect that after just a few months of not seeing him, this guy has made such rapid progress. Even his cooking proficiency is incomparable to the first time I met him."

Wutongtian: "Oh? I understand that the former first seat, Shinomiya Kojiro, is looking forward to what kind of dishes he will serve?"

Mizuhara's gaze quickly turned over, as if he was ready to eat a big melon.

Before the arrogant Shinomiya could deny it, Haruno on the side spoke first:

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. What kind of food will Hikigaya-kun serve?"

Following Haruno's words, the entire judging panel fell silent in an instant. Even if people outside the circle could not understand the value of her words, only Kojiro, who was close to this circle, understood that if Yukinoshita Haruno said this, it meant that even she herself had never tried this guy's cooking.

Yoshino: "It seems like Hikigaya is almost done. This green tea aroma must be coming from him."

Ryoko: "It seems that Yukinoshita is almost there too. If you smell it carefully, you can smell the scent of black tea. This must be from the food that guy made."

Takumi: "These two are really monsters..."

Alice: "It took less than 90 minutes to make such a dish... I'm really curious about what these two people talked about..."

Kurokiba: "Since they were not stopped by the judges, it means that their conversation did not affect the competition."

Alice: "That's not what I meant! Liangjun, you are such a fool."

Tadokoro Megumi: "I feel like the dishes they make are really amazing..."

Ye Shanliang: "It was a very exciting duel. If the strength she showed before was close to ours, then after this match... I'm afraid there will only be a three-way competition among the first-year students..."

Shiomi Jun: "That being said, as long as no one challenges and defeats Erina, she will still be the most powerful among the first graders. After all, she is one of the top ten..."

Alice: "It's just the top ten, what's so great about that? I think Hikigaya-kun is not bad either."

Everyone was speechless. This guy really had no mercy on his own sister.

As the drums sounded, everyone's attention was focused on the two plates of food. Hachiman finished first. He gently took off the white towel that had been tied to his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

'Caught up...'

The fragrance of green tea continued to flow out, soon covering the entire venue. The unique scent of ink seemed to have invaded the nerves of every audience member, constantly teasing their hearts.

On the other hand, even the judges had to admire the unique aroma of green tea. The excellent temperature control and the use of tea meals have perfectly exuded the flavor of green tea.

Hikigaya walked towards the judges' seat step by step, and finally set his sights on Yukinoshita Haruno:

"Hikigaya-style honey green tea lion's head duck, please enjoy."

After taking out the most delicious part of the lion head duck, soak it in green tea and then process it. Generally, after hearing this name, you will simply think that this is such a dish, but...

When Hikigaya opened the lid of the pot, everyone found that the lion-head duck and green tea were not placed together, but on two separate plates.

Can you really appreciate the unique aroma of green tea without soaking it?

Mizuhara: “I started…”

Using green tea as a sauce, he lightly dipped the lion-head duck's leg in it, and then, following the gazes of the crowd, he was the first to put it into his mouth.

As if she was wandering in a dreamland, Mizuhara's entire brain froze up, leaving only an incredible scent of green tea surrounding her body at all times, emitting an indelible fragrance.

At the same time, the entire audience began to cheer:

“Here it comes, it’s like this again, it’s Hikigaya again, and the judges have expressions that they can’t comment on, this is too exciting hahahaha!”

"This is a new world for the judges. You know, Mizuwon used to be the second place..."

"If you show an expression like this, doesn't it mean that you have reached the realm you once were in?"

At the same time, the commander-in-chief and Dojima Gin also started chatting off the stage:

"This guy, I always feel like I see someone's shadow in him."

The commander-in-chief's eyebrows flickered, and he just turned his eyes lightly on Yang Nai:

"You mean, Yang No?"

Dojima Gin smiled faintly, but looked up at the sky with some reluctance and said: "After graduating from junior high school, she dominated the entire Totsuki Academy with her Yukinoshita-ryu. Although she had no professional training, she relied on her terrifying talent and family training to become a dark horse in the culinary world overnight. The whole world was vying for her and moved her. In the end, she was protected by the National Protection Bureau and continued to be trained. Even her existence has become a state secret. Even now, not many people know her, and her true strength has reached an unimaginable level."

The commander-in-chief also nodded silently: "Yes, although the people say that my granddaughter Erina is the javelin of the new era, but...if she really saw how big this world is, she would understand that we are all just ordinary people."

"It's the same with you, Gin Dojima."

Dojima Ginshō raised his head and then bowed it heavily, saying in a self-deprecating tone:

"Even though there is a thirty-year age gap between us, I still lost to a student. I am still unwilling to accept this..."

Commander: “So, what you mean is…”

Gin Dojima: "Hikigaya Hachiman is the son of Saibajo Ichiro."

Commander: "In Totsuki, in the Japanese cuisine world, in the world cuisine world, Saiba is indeed a very powerful guy, and he has always been on par with you, but... you should know that Yukinoshita Haruno is a person that requires the country to take action."

Dojima Gin: "Guess why the son of Saibajo Ichiro is called Hikigaya?"

Commander: “What do you mean?”

Dojima Gin: "Just as you said, this world is much more vast than we imagined. There are always people better than us, and there are always things better than us. We are just ants, that's all."

...

Except for Haruno, the remaining four judges have already put the dishes into their mouths one after another. Even Shinomiya Kojiro, who was once ranked first, seemed to have lost the ability to think at this moment. He just looked at the dish in front of him and entered a state of meditation.

You know, Senior Shinomiya is a chef abroad, but now... he is shooting to a point that even he can't understand.

Shigong: "It seems that I was wrong at first."

Hinata: "Haha, I didn't expect that even Shinomiya-senpai would say such a thing. It really deserves it, hahaha..."

Before she could finish, Shigong grabbed her head with one hand and yelled:

"If you make any more noise, I'll throw you out."

Under the gaze of the audience, Senior Hyugako was like a cute rabbit with its ears lifted up. She just said pitifully:

"Yes..."

Wutongtian: "To be honest, I still have a lot of doubts. As a judge, I know this is irresponsible, but... the most incomprehensible question is where the smell of green tea comes from."

Hachiman: "This question..."

Before Hikigaya could say anything, Haruno reached out her hand:

"Senior Wutongtian, I haven't started eating yet. Please leave a little surprise for me about this dish."

Wutongtian also scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I lost my composure."

Under the gaze of everyone, Yang No's movements soon revealed an elegant appearance. Like Yukino, she was a girl from a truly wealthy family. Both her movements and expressions were so elegant. Just watching her enjoy the food seemed to be a pleasure.

Ryoko: "This guy could definitely become a star..."

Yoshino: “She’s just like a model…”

Yang Nai just smiled faintly, then gently placed the chopsticks on the table:

"Generally speaking, pickling and roasting can allow green tea to quickly penetrate into the ingredients, giving off a light green tea aroma. However, both pickling and roasting have their disadvantages."

"The former is too time-consuming, and the latter will fundamentally destroy the original flavor of the ingredients, so these two methods are fundamentally unworkable. What you did was to brew the green tea in the Hongding pot, and finally inject it into the various nerve parts of the lion-head duck. In the end, without damaging the ingredients, you got such a delicious lion-head goose. I have to say, it's amazing."

"And this tea, it's obviously green tea, but it tastes like soup, it can relieve the greasiness and make your mouth feel dry at the same time, it's incredible."

Hearing Yang Nai's words, everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.

What on earth is this guy talking about?

Do you think cooking is like an injection? They are actually related...

But, here it is.

Knowing that Hikigaya was a fast learner, and hearing that he had done nothing during the week of preparation, Alice and Erina each asked Hisako to send over some skills that might be useful.

As for the tea meal, it was undoubtedly transformed from Feishazi's medicinal meal, and as for the injection, it was Alice's secret technique.

After a week of study, Hikigaya had roughly mastered the knowledge. Although he had never put it into practice, he was able to perform impromptu performances on the spot as long as he followed the acupuncture points and nerves in the book.

However, even such a secret trick has been completely discovered by Yang Noi.

"Am I right? Hikigaya-kun..."

"It's a really bold attempt. In such a short time, you have applied knowledge that some people cannot fully master in their entire lives to combine all the aspects of this dish perfectly. Even I may not be able to do it." Yang No just said this with a smile, and then casually ate the food on the table.

"This guy must be kidding me."

The only thing that made Hachiman very sure was that the other party could easily make such a dish, because when people lie, they will reveal their flaws, even Yukinoshita Haruno is the same.

However, this flaw seemed to be revealed intentionally by the other party.

Below the stage, the smile that Alice had just maintained had frozen, and at this moment it became extremely dull.

In the VIP room, Erina and Hisako looked at the scene in front of them with disbelief... She had been called a genius since she was a child, and she simply couldn't believe what she was seeing.

If even the former No. 79 of the th term, Shinomiya-senpai, couldn't do it...but this girl who suddenly appeared easily denied it all.

At the same time, the entire audience roared again. They were not familiar with Yukinoshita Haruno, but he showed such powerful theoretical knowledge. Until now, anyone with a discerning eye could understand that this guy's cooking skills were definitely not comparable to those of ordinary people.

Yukino also clenched her fists at this time, but she looked at Yangno's face with a sharp look.

Hachiman: "It seems that my cooking did not satisfy you."

Yang No said with a smile while waving her hands:

"No, no, this is really amazing, I'm not lying!"

Hachiman: "No matter how you look at it, it's a lie..."
