For every three hours that pass in the virtual kitchen, only one hour passes in the real world.

After six hours of continuous attempts, Lin Han finally made the mapo tofu he wanted.

"Huh...finally done."

Lin Han wiped the realistic sweat from his forehead, and his expression remained serious and focused from beginning to end.

After getting the result he wanted, he finally smiled with satisfaction.

The next day, Lin Han arrived at the Chinese Cuisine Research Society on time.

After obtaining Lin Han's consent, Kuga Teruki decided to set the competition venue here.

Lin Han also saw some familiar faces.

"Why are you here?"

The visitors were none other than Megumi Tanado, Yuki Yoshino and others from Polar Star Dormitory.

Even Isshiki Hui came.

"How can we miss such a lively event?"

"That's it."

Everyone echoed in unison.

"Lin Hanjun, you need to work harder."

Of course, they did not forget to cheer for Lin Han.

Lin Han smiled and was about to say something.

"I didn't expect you to actually dare to challenge the Ten Elites."

A proud young female voice sounded from behind.

The natural air of nobility and the aura as cold as an iceberg can be felt even before meeting him.

Lin Han knew who was coming without looking back.

"I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family would be interested in watching this kind of competition."

He just smiled calmly.

It was completely different from the arrogant and rude look he showed when he faced Erina Nakiri.

However, it has to be admitted that Lin Han's elegant and calm appearance really makes countless girls feel moved.

Even Erina Nakiri was stunned.

After she came to her senses, she quickly put on a proud attitude.

"I just wanted to see how a commoner like you would be defeated when you overestimated your own abilities and attempted to challenge the Ten Elites."

"Then please open your eyes wide and watch how I achieve victory."

Lin Han still maintained a gentle smile and spoke authentically every word.

Although she didn't have the aggressive aura that Erina Nakiri had in her previous memories, she still had a kind of madness.

Erina Nakiri was about to say something, but she held it back and just snorted coldly.

“I didn’t expect that Lin Hanjun also had a connection with the Tongue of God.”

Isshiki Hui showed a somewhat surprised expression.

Lin Han waved his hand, indicating that this was not an important matter.

"The game is about to begin, Lin Hanjun, please come over here."

Kuga Teruki, who had been waiting here early, saw Lin Han and shouted at him.

"I kept you waiting."

Lin Han turned around and smiled at Isise Hui and the others, then turned around and walked to the cooking table with firm and calm steps.

After the notary repeatedly confirmed the competition process and conditions, he officially announced the start of the competition.

"The dish title for this competition is: Mapo Tofu! Competition time: one hour!"

These are the dishes that Lin Han and Kuga Teruki had agreed on yesterday.

Both of them had extremely confident expressions on their faces.

Standing in front of the cooking table, Lin Han looked at the ingredients in front of him and took a deep breath slowly.

Then his mind moved, and a card immediately appeared in his mind.

The purple card god symbolizes S-grade quality, and it has an image of a person with the temperament of a handsome gentleman.

It was the S-level card that Lin Han had drawn for the first time, Lan Feihong! .

[27] The Heart of a Craftsman! Lan Feihong's Heritage! (2nd update, please bookmark!)

"call……"

Looking at the cards in front of him, Lin Han smiled, and then decisively chose to merge.

Lin Han, who chose to fuse the Lan Feihong card again, not only had a greater improvement in his temperament.

This time, his compatibility with Lan Feihong's card was even higher.

"Have you noticed that Lin Hanjun's movements seem to be a little different from before?"

Tadokoro Megumi whispered.

"Indeed, it seems more calm and elegant, just like..."

"Just like the noble sons of the last century!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Even Erina Nakiri, who always looked at common people with tinted glasses, found it difficult to take her eyes off him for a moment.

"What's going on? In just a few seconds, why does this guy's temperament seem to have changed drastically..."

Erina Nakiri was very surprised.

The competition has begun in full swing.

As a lover of Sichuan cuisine and the inventor of the so-called "improved version of Mapo Tofu" recipe, Teruki Kuga is no stranger to the preparation of this dish.

The ingredient needed for this Mapo Tofu is naturally tofu.

As a representative dish of Sichuan cuisine, Mapo Tofu stands out.

In addition to the fact that it is not complicated to make, there is another more important reason, which is its taste.

It integrates eight flavors: numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, hot, green, tender and crispy.

The soft, tender and tasty tofu brings out the spicy characteristics of Sichuan cuisine to the fullest.

It is precisely because the production method is not complicated that it is possible to make a dish of Mapo Tofu better than others.

It depends on the chef's skills.

As for his skills, Teruki Kuga has absolute confidence in this aspect.

He has loved Sichuan cuisine since he was a child and has absolute confidence in it.

He even believes that Sichuan cuisine is the representative cuisine of Chinese cuisine!

Although Lin Han is of Chinese descent, his family also runs a Chinese restaurant.

But Kuga Teruki had already inquired about it, and there was never any Sichuan cuisine among the dishes prepared by Lin Han.

This also made Kuga Teruki believe that Lin Han himself was not actually good at Sichuan cuisine.

Therefore, Kuga Teruki, who chose Mapo Tofu as the topic of the competition, believed that he would definitely win in the end!

The tofu, which was slightly larger than the palm of your hand, was cut into 2-centimeter cubes by Teruki Kuga's precise knife skills.

The crystal white and smooth tofu cubes roll gently on the chopping board. The soft posture makes it easy to imagine the taste of tofu.

"Cutting tofu is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in ensuring that each piece of tofu is of this size."

Isise Hui pointed out the key to this Mapo Tofu in one sentence.

On the other side, Lin Han, who also started cutting tofu, showed off his superb knife skills.

The tofu, which was originally not small, was quickly cut into even-sized cubes.

"Lin Hanjun's tofu cubes are also of uniform size, but they seem to be smaller than Senior Jiuwo's. Why is that?"

Tadokoro Kei asked in a low voice.

Isshiki Hui, who also noticed this, pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"My understanding of Chinese cuisine is not as deep as theirs. Considering Lin Hanjun's cooking skills, he should have a different understanding."

The game continues.

The cut tofu is put into the pot and blanched in water to remove the bean smell of the tofu.

In this step, the two of them did almost the same thing.

But then, the two seemed to have changed their direction.

In order to enhance the flavor of tofu, Teruki Kuga chose to use chopped beef, stir-fried it and added sauce.

To make up for the meaty taste of tofu and satisfy diners in terms of taste.

After all, tofu itself tastes bland, and it is unknown what its final taste will be like.

It depends on other auxiliary materials.

The fried minced meat can provide the tofu with the most delicious meaty flavor.

The reason why Kuga Teruki chose beef as the meat to enhance the flavor of tofu is because beef is better than pork in terms of umami taste.

“It’s a very correct judgment.”

Even Isshiki Hui agreed with his choice.

After frying until it changes color and is cooked, add the bright red bean paste into the pot.

Whoops-

The fierce sound of frying oil, accompanied by the fresh, fragrant and spicy smell of meat, filled the entire classroom.

Anyone who smelled this smell would swallow unconsciously.

Even some students who haven't had time to eat yet have their stomachs growling!

Then, Teruki Kuga added seasonings such as fermented black beans and minced ginger.

After the beef is gradually dyed with the color of the chili, the snow-white tofu cubes and a little beef broth are put into the pot.

Driven by the fire, the tofu in the broth makes a bubbling sound when it is simmering.

Such an appetizing sound makes people feel like they are back to the scene of sitting around a fireplace and eating hot pot in winter.

The fresh aroma of the beef and the spicy flavor of the seasoning dominated the sense of smell of everyone watching this food battle.

"Kuga-senpai's knife skills, control of heat, and proportion of ingredients are all perfect!"

Tadokoro Megumi exclaimed.

Although the preparation method of Mapo Tofu is not difficult, you can't be impatient.

As the old Chinese saying goes, “You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.”

Therefore, making this dish requires carefulness and patience.

At this moment, Kuga Teruki was like a focused craftsman, staring at the ingredients in his pot.

He was so serious that it seemed as if what he was cooking was not just a dish, but a national treasure that was unparalleled in the world.

This kind of craftsman's heart is what every outstanding chef should possess!

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Han again.

"Lin, what is Lin Hanjun doing?!"

Seeing Lin Han's actions, Yoshino Yuuki was so surprised that she almost screamed! .
