"Under the cabbage are crisp cucumber strips. Compared to the sweet and tender cabbage, the cucumber tastes crisp and refreshing..."

Distinguishing the layers of texture between his teeth and tongue, Shinomiya Kojiro was still wondering what was so special about Lin Han's cooking compared to his own.

The wonderful texture and taste suddenly come to you with the next chew!

It was as if a sudden wave hit the rocks hard, and countless familiar and unfamiliar feelings came flooding in to Shinomiya Kojiro!

So much so that he almost forgot that there were other parts of his body.

Just use your teeth and tongue to feel that wonderful taste with all your heart!

Looking at Shinomiya Kojiro who was silent like a statue, Dojima Gin, Inui Hinatako and Mizuhara Fuyumi smiled at each other silently.

After a long time, Shinomiya Kojiro slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Han with complicated eyes.

He seemed to be stuck in a clear yet difficult problem.

"How about this dish, Shinomiya-senpai?"

Lin Han smiled slightly, as if he already knew Shinomiya Kojiro's reaction.

"Do you know what I just felt?"

There seemed to be a bitter taste in Shinomiya Kojiro's usually cold and proud voice.

In the conference hall, everyone was silent and held their breath, listening to Shinomiya Kojiro's speech.

"I felt the fragrance of spring petals, the sweetness of rain, the heat of the summer sun, and the coolness after a long drought."

"All these smells seem to create seasons in front of me. No, to this extent, it is no longer just the seasons that can be described."

Kojiro Shinomiya spoke almost incoherently, his brain now racing frantically, trying to find a suitable adjective.

And Lin Han gave the answer that best met his expectations.

"That's right, Shinomiya-senpai, this is my cooking."

"Crystal seasonal vegetable jelly!".

"Crystal seasonal vegetable jelly?"

This name, which had never been heard of before, made everyone present savor the deep meaning contained in this name.

"Seniors, how much flavor did you taste from this vegetable jelly just now?"

Lin Han asked Dojima Gin and the others.

Although they had been thinking about this question just now, when Lin Han asked them to answer, Mizuhara Fuyumi and the others were still slightly stunned.

"How many kinds... I'm not sure, I tasted maybe thirteen kinds."

Mizuhara Fuyumi pondered.

"I cut it in larger pieces. There are seventeen kinds."

Dojima Gin said calmly.

"I have a little bit less here, eleven kinds, maybe because I cut too little, why not try another piece."

It seemed that she liked Lin Han's cooking very much, and the dazed Qian Hinatako said happily.

"puff--"

Because of his innocent look, even some of the students watching couldn't help laughing secretly.

Shinomiya Kojiro, who had just recovered from his shock, glared at Inui Hinatako, and then heard Dojima Gin ask.

"What about the four palaces? How many did you taste?"

Shinomiya Kojiro was stunned, frowned, thought about it, and said.

"Yes, nineteen."

"Wow, you actually tasted so much. You looked so disgusted with this dish, but you actually cut off so much!"

Mizuhara Fuyumi shouted deliberately.

"Shut up."

Shinomiya Kojiro's expression 430 looks embarrassed and guilty.

Dojima Gin looked at Lin Han.

"Lin Hanjun, the taste of this vegetable jelly of yours should be that each part has its own flavor. If you only cut off a small piece, you won't be able to taste its full flavor."

Seeing that Dojima Gin and the others had discovered the secret of his vegetable jelly, Lin Han nodded.

"I added the pureed vegetables made from these ingredients to the original recipe of Mr. Shigong, and combined them with different vegetables to create a different flavor."

He pointed to the zucchini and cucumbers.

"For example, zucchini has a soft and dense texture with a distinct sweetness, while cucumber is refreshing with a slight bitterness."

"Purpee them and mix them together according to the right proportions to create a summer ice cream-like texture that is soft, cool and sweet."

"And it's not just zucchini that can be paired with cucumbers. Other ingredients can also bring out new flavors as long as they are blended in a certain proportion."

Listening to Lin Han's explanation, Dojima Gin and others nodded repeatedly.

Shinomiya Kojiro listened even more attentively, and in his usually serious and deep golden eyes, there was a look of annoyance as if he had suddenly realized something.

"This method, there is such a method..."

"So, your crystal seasonal vegetable jelly has a total of twenty-four flavors?"

Inui Hinatako asked.

She is good at Japanese cuisine, and in order to continuously improve her cooking skills, she also learns about the cuisines of other countries.

For example, Chinese cuisine is as vast and unfathomable as the ocean. Every time she comes into contact with it, Inui Hinatako will unconsciously immerse herself in the mysterious and broad cultural knowledge contained therein.

Qian Rixiangzi also had some knowledge of the 24 solar terms, or seasons, developed by the Chinese nation.

"Yes."

Lin Han nodded.

“The Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, Waking of Insects, Spring Equinox… Each season corresponds to a flavor of this crystal seasonal vegetable jelly.”

"And what Senior Shinomiya said just now also proves that the seniors have already felt what my dish conveys. The taste behind it represents the season."

Dojima Gin nodded slightly to show his approval, and after listening to Lin Han's explanation, Mizuhara Fuyumi's eyes revealed even more amazement and admiration.

“It’s amazing. Using nine ingredients, they create 24 distinct flavors.”

“Each flavor does not seem abrupt in the overall composition, as if it is natural.”

“This dish, whether it’s the creativity itself, the combination of ingredients, or the final result, is absolutely perfect!”

After Mizuhara Fuyumi finished speaking, Dojima Gin and Inui Hinatako nodded at the same time.

"I agree with Fuyumi."

Qian Hinatazi said.

"Me too."

Although Dojima Gin didn't say much, every word he said always carried extraordinary weight.

Yoshino Yuuki excitedly held Sakaki Ryoko's hand.

"That's great, Senior Dojima and Senior Qian all approve of Lin Hanjun's cooking!"

However, Sakaki Ryoko looked in the direction of Shinomiya Kojiro with some worry.

"But if you want to cancel the decision to expel Xiaohui, you still need to get the approval of Senior Shigong."

Lin Han, Dojima Gin and others, who were also aware of this, all looked at Shinomiya Kojiro at the same time.

"Shigong, what do you think?"

Dojima Gin's words made Shinomiya Kojiro grit his teeth secretly.

If he admitted that Lin Han's dish was indeed excellent and better than his own Nine Treasures French Vegetable Jelly.

Then he, who had previously made a bold statement that there was absolutely no possibility of improving his recipe.

It's like slapping yourself hard in the face.

But if he denied it, anyone around him would be able to see that he was lying.

After all, this dish has been fully recognized by Inui Hinatako, Mizuhara Fuyumi, and even Dojima Gin.

Moreover, because of her momentary stubbornness, Tansho Kei will actually face the possibility of being expelled from school.

Now, Dojima Gin is in a situation where he is riding a tiger and cannot back down.

"Senior Shinomiya, before you answer, I would like to ask you a few questions."

Before Shinomiya Kojiro could speak, Lin Han suddenly said.

"Senior Shinomiya, do you still remember why you first became a chef?"

Hearing this question, Shinomiya Kojiro was stunned.

His mind suddenly emerged with his mother who had always lived frugally after he successfully entered junior high school more than ten years ago.

The joyful expression on your face when you take yourself to a French restaurant to taste the high-end cuisine.

And it was that smile that made him want to make his beloved mother always keep that smile.

Therefore, he chose to become a French cuisine chef and successfully entered Totsuki Academy.

And with his talent and hard work, he overcame all difficulties and finally owned his own French restaurant in Paris, the forefront of the French cuisine battle.

Everything all stems from the smile my mother had back then.

"If Senior Shigong has already given the answer, then my second question is, Senior Shigong, after receiving the Pruspur Medal, have you set new goals for yourself?"

Lin Han continued to ask.

This seemingly random question made Shinomiya Kojiro sit in his chair in a daze as if he was struck by lightning.

For a long time, there has been a feeling of depression in Kojiro Shinomiya's heart.

He couldn't describe exactly what the feeling was.

I just feel that as time goes by, my passion for cooking seems to be gradually disappearing.

Every day is like a zombie, repeating the same thing.

He had always wanted to figure out what had caused him to become like this, but to no avail.

Lin Han's question was like a bolt of lightning that fell from the sky, splitting the chaotic darkness.

After a long time, Shinomiya Kojiro slowly raised his head, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Han seemed to have changed.

"Lin Hanjun, you are right."

Due to his nature, Shinomiya Kojiro was unable to follow his heart and say thank you to Lin Han.

He could only use the power within his own scope to express his gratitude to Lin Han.

"Your crystal seasonal vegetable jelly is indeed better than my previous nine-treasure French vegetable jelly."

"As agreed, I will withdraw the expulsion penalty from Tansho."

"Great!"

Although he didn't understand why Lin Han's two questions made the arrogant Shinomiya Kojiro finally admit Lin Han's victory.

But the moment Kojiro Shinomiya canceled the punishment on Megumi Tadokoro, Yuuki Yoshino and Ryoko Sakaki.

Tears welled up in their eyes and they hugged Tanomo Megumi and shouted with joy.
