Love comes after eating halberds

Even though I wanted to act normal, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Alice."

"No need to add Miss, just call me Alice."

Hearing Shiina Mahiru's slightly flinching address, Nakiri Alice's face showed a faint look of joy. Her hostility towards her subsided in an instant, and she turned back into an eccentric girl.

"Then let's go out and play together in the afternoon. I'll treat you."

"Then I must kill you!"

"Go back and change your clothes first."

"Ah."

----------

"Erina-sama, the news has come. Someone will be sent over there to participate in our "Autumn Selection". It seems that some of the comers are not good-natured. "

"If good people don't come, they will never come back this time!"

Hearing Hisako's report behind her, Nakiri Erina clenched her fists. She felt unhappy when she thought about the last experience, especially that woman!

"It's definitely possible. There are many outstanding people in our first grade, and I will work hard!"

Nito Hisako said with a serious face.

"Of course I won't doubt your strength. Go back and let's hold a cooking seminar."

"Yes, Erina-sama!"

Reaching out to lift Nito Hisako's chin, and looking at the girl's blushing face, Nakiri Erina's voice was soft but firm, with a touch of strength.

----------

Early September.

Time passed by, and the people in Yaoriliao returned to their hometowns one after another. Soon, only Sora Hoshino...and Teacher Hiratsuka were left in the huge dormitory building.

At this time, she was chatting with Teacher Xiaomeng in the yard, with a smile on her face.

When he saw Hoshino Sora, he raised his hand and said hello.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, Teacher Komoe."

"It's Teacher Yue Yong."

Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Yue Yong Xiaomeng retorted with a puffy face and small fists.

"Okay, Teacher Xiaomeng."

"You are really naughty!"

"Don't be angry, Xiaomeng. Are you planning to go out?"

Looking at Hoshino Sora who had changed into her travel clothes, Hiratsuka Shizu asked curiously.

"Well, the topic of this "Autumn Selection" is aquatic products, and I am going to the nearest seafood market. "

Hoshino Sora answered truthfully, whether he should say it or not, it was indeed different from the original question. With the change of the last topic, Hoshino Sora was not surprised by this.

"Seafood? Come on."

"Ah."

----------

“The food in this restaurant is really delicious, especially the Kung Pao Shrimp Balls. The sauce tastes great. It’s spicy and sweet, and the sauce is rich in flavor. Even if I don’t like spicy food, I still think it’s great!”

"that is."

"Ah, Rika, leave some for me!"

Looking at Lixiang stuffing shrimp balls into her mouth, Yaxiang immediately stepped forward to stop her because it was the last Kung Pao shrimp ball on the plate.

"Okay, okay, don't grab it. I'll just ask the waiter to bring another portion. It will definitely be enough for you."

Seeing the two sisters on both sides arguing over a mouthful of shrimp balls, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but call the waiter and ordered another Kung Pao shrimp ball. Only then did Yaxiang let go of the hand holding Rixiang's face.

"Xiao Kong, ah~"

As soon as Yaxiang let go, Lixiang reached out and hugged Hoshino Sora's neck, then pressed her body forward and kissed him boldly, and put the shrimp balls in her mouth into the other person's mouth.

"Ah! Me too!"

Seeing this, Yaxiang was not to be outdone, took a mouthful of vegetables and started feeding her mouth to mouth.

"It's a bit disgusting, stop it."

One of them kissed, and the matter ended there. Although the taste of the food had not changed, and their saliva was not dirty, Hoshino Sora was still a little resistant to it.

Hmm...it just feels weird.

However, the Kung Pao shrimp balls in this store really taste good, and they are Sichuan cuisine.

Sichuan food...ah!Thinking of this, Hoshino Sora suddenly had an idea in his mind.

----------

"The heat is not right, try again."

"It still doesn't work. The frying is a little overdone. The cooking time of each dish must be adjusted according to the size of the shrimp balls. This is common sense and must be kept in mind!"

"This time it's okay."

"It won't work this time. You really can't stand the praise. Keep doing it."

"Shrimps come in different sizes, so select them first and then cook them. The size of the shrimp balls in a pot should be roughly the same."

"It's okay this time."

In the kitchen, Hoshino Sora was sweating profusely and his arms were a little sore.

If it weren't for the buff of unlimited physical strength, he really wouldn't be able to survive now.

"Shrimp balls are so popular, demand exceeds supply. This is the first time I see so many customers in the store. How about I come to help?"

At the door of the kitchen, Xiang Ling was already sweating profusely.

"Our purpose is not to sell vegetables, but to practice. We only start selling so as not to waste ingredients."

"The taste of Kung Pao juice is perfect every time. You are quite talented in seasoning."

Although the heat is often poor, the Kung Pao juice Hoshino Sora makes every time tastes very authentic, which shows that he has considerable talent in seasoning.

"What should I do next?"

"Increase the stability of the food, and you can improve it after you are fully proficient. But you have to remember one thing, the food that has been improved is a special dish, and the food that has not been improved is garbage.

No matter how it is changed, the most basic flavor cannot be changed, otherwise it will not be called Kung Pao Shrimp Balls, but should be called something else. "

Mao Jinyu said from the side that he did not object to the improvement of cuisine, but now many people are cooking completely different cuisine in the name of improvement.

This is not called improvement.

The real improvement is to add new things on the basis of the original taste, or to change the raw materials. After all, there are more than one species of shrimp, different shrimps are processed in different ways, and the taste and texture vary greatly.

"I understand."

Nodding seriously, this was the most he had done in this period of time. Mao Jinyu taught him many new things, and even told him a lot of cooking theories that he didn't know before.

If there is no one to guide him, he may never figure it out for the rest of his life.

----------

“What a grand venue!”

“Cooking here is like watching a boxer fight.”

Looking at the extremely majestic large venue in front of me, it is several times the size of the stars and the sky.

"Hoshino-kun."

Looking at Hoshino Sora standing alone in the venue, Tadokoro Megumi, who had just come in from the door, greeted him warmly.

But I don’t know if it’s an illusion. After not seeing her for a month, Hoshino Sora felt that Tadokoro Megumi had grown a lot, and her face showed gentleness and maturity.

If it was just an embryo of beauty before, now it is evolving in the direction of beauty.

"Hui, long time no see!"

"Looks very energetic."

Before Hoshino Sora could say anything, Yoshino Yuki and Sakaki Ryoko came over from a short distance away. Especially Yoshino Yuki, she gave Tadokoro Kei a big bear hug as soon as they came up.

"Hoshino-kun, long time no see."

A familiar voice came from behind. Shiina Mahiru and the others showed up. They came here right after school started. It was the first time they met since the autumn break.

"Long time no see. He seems to be in good condition."

"I tried a little harder in my own way."

Shiina Mahiru responded with a smile.

Chapter 7 Hoshino Sora: Judge, can I serve the food in advance?

During the conversation, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, and then everyone's eyes turned to the only light source at the scene, which was the glittering golden stage in front of everyone.

"I have kept all the guests here waiting for a long time. Please look at the stage in front of you."

"Now, the commander-in-chief of the academy, Nakiri Senzaemon, will deliver the opening speech for everyone."

Holding the microphone in her hand, Rei Kawashima is still in charge of hosting.

After the words fell, Nakiri Senzaemon, who was hiding behind the scenes, slowly walked onto the stage. His eyes used the light source of the stage to examine the students in the audience, and his vigorous momentum was full at this moment.

"Nakiri Senzaemon..."

"The rumored food devil."

Seeing Nakiri Senzaemon's appearance, there was a low-pitched discussion around him. Some people looked fearful, some looked admiring, and some looked full of admiration.

Looking at the students in front of him, Nakiri Senzaemon took a deep breath of the air.

“Breaking in the air here can make people feel a surge of power in their bodies.

This venue is called "Between the Moon and the Sky", and it is originally a place that can only be used for the Ten Outstanding Shoji. To show respect for the previous first place winners, we have a tradition of hanging portraits here. "

His eyes looked around: "Yes, yes, dad is also among them." Looking at the portrait of Hoshino Gulian on the wall, Hoshino Kong couldn't help but sigh, his dad also once stood at the top of Yuanyue.

"There have been countless famous duels here, and countless famous dishes have been born. Because of this, what is floating in the air here is the accumulation of memories of years of battles!

Next, the autumn selection competition will be held here. You will create new history. Let us meet here again!The cooks of the 92nd class of Totsuki Academy! "

As Nakiri Senzaemon finished speaking, the scene instantly erupted into fierce cheers, the calm atmosphere was ignited, and all the young people became excited.

Trigger stage mission: Autumn Selection

Stage Task ①: Obtain the top three results in the Autumn Selection Qualifiers

Task description: After entering Yuanyue for a long time, you finally have the first stage where you can show your strength. Please do your best to show off your talents.

Task requirements: Obtain the top three results in the qualifiers

任务奖励：No.1，3000声望值。No.2，2000声望值。No.3，1000声望值。

"Top three..."

Hearing the system prompt sound in his mind, Hoshino Sora murmured softly, his eyes full of fighting spirit. He came here only after he was fully prepared!

As Nakiri Senzaemon left the stage after finishing his speech, Rei Kawashima trotted to the stage with a microphone in hand and stood in front of everyone.

"Next, let's get into the rules of this qualifying competition. Just as it says on the booklet, the title this time is "Aquatic Cuisine" and the time limit is three hours.

A total of 60 people will advance to the knockout round among the 12 people in the qualifiers, which means that 6 people from each of the two groups will be selected. "

Rei Kawashima stretched out his hand to make a six sign, and Rei Kawashima's face showed seriousness and seriousness.

"Why are there so few people..."

"Is it possible to squeeze it to this extent in one go?"

"But why are there 12 people? Can 12 be divided?"

"Yeah, I wouldn't even notice it if you didn't tell me."
