People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Kazami Yuuka remained seated in the same spot, gazing at the flowers. She shared the same thought as Yakumo Yukari, but she didn't worry about arriving two or three hours late. She figured arriving half an hour or an hour late would be fine.

"Why do I keep feeling like Yukari Yakumo didn't keep her promise...? Did she tell someone...?"

As Kazami Yuuka spoke, she touched the small parasol beside her. If it were true, she decided to let Yakumo Yukari try different levels of the Flower Field Tyrant's Magical Cannon depending on who was going.

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was still standing there, seemingly lost in thought, she saw Shiraha push a food cart out. Despite having a large appetite, Shiraha still didn't cook that many dishes, just five.

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Shiraha as he placed the food on the table, then lowered her head and remained silent. Soryuin Shion smiled knowingly and said, "Shiraha, you really know girls well."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "I made this because I saw that Mashiro really likes sweets. Xiao Qiong also likes it very much."

Upon hearing that Kasugano Sora also liked to eat it, Shiina Mashiro immediately perked up and asked in confusion, "Which one?"

While eating, Kasugano Sora craned her neck to take a look and said with a smile, "Ah! It's blueberry yam! Mashiro-neechan! That's delicious!"

"Yam?"

Shiina Mashiro looked at the table full of dishes with a puzzled expression. Shiraha smiled and said, "Mashiro, what dish do you want to eat first?"

After looking at it, Shiina Mashiro pointed to something that looked like a cake, which was served in slightly larger spoons, and said, "This."

"So I said you'd like this. This is blueberry yam, which is a complimentary side dish. It's not supposed to be a main dish."

Shiina Mashiro nodded. She didn't know what a yam was, but when she heard the word "medicine," she instinctively felt that it couldn't be something that looked pretty.

The reality was quite the opposite. The most exquisite and beautiful dish on the table was actually the blueberry yam, which was also one of Kasugano Sora's favorite dishes, which piqued her interest.

Sōryūin Akemi said with a smile, "Brother Shiraha, this is the first time I've ever seen mashed blueberry yam! It looks just like ice cream! It's so pretty!"

"Cooking doesn't have a fixed form. Some dishes are too delicate and lose their appeal, while others look more appetizing when they are more delicate."

Shuuin Akemi nodded repeatedly, and Shiroha said with a smile, "Mashiro, try it, you should like it."

"Ah."

Shiina Mashiro picked up a spoon, examined the yam that looked like ice cream, smelled it but couldn't smell anything. Then she noticed it had a slightly sweet smell, opened her mouth and took a bite, and was completely stunned.

Chihiro Sengoku asked with some anticipation, "How is it, Mashiro? Is it delicious?"

Shiina Mashiro, snapping out of her daze, said, "It's delicious..."

Since Baiyu's blueberry yam is made into a puree, it's obviously not just a simple mixture of yam and blueberries; there are quite a few ingredients added.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Then please enjoy your meal. Just call me if you need a refill of your beer."

Bai Yu didn't go to Lucifer's group for dinner, but instead sat quietly to the side reading a book. Qing Xingdeng asked in confusion, "Why doesn't Bai Yu come and eat with us?"

Lucifer casually said, "When Bai Yu opened his shop, customers would come immediately whenever he ate, even if he just picked up his cutlery and touched the food."

Nakiri Managi and the others looked on in disbelief. Kasugano Sora sighed and said, "Even Shiraha-nii himself thinks it's ridiculously accurate. He calls it a curse, but it's really just bad luck..."

Kraki waved her hand and said, "Lady Managi, you'd better believe me, because I've verified it, and it's incredibly accurate."

"Oh...."

While eating blueberry yam, Shiina Mashiro glanced at Shiraha, who was quietly reading a book, and tilted her head, saying, "A curse?"

"Mashiro, stop eating desserts and eat your meal!"

"Oh..."

Chapter 461 Mashiro, who eats Sichuan peppercorns, also sells razor blades on the side (Please subscribe~)

Some things may look ordinary, but you only realize how delicious they are when you eat them. Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others now understand this principle.

Every dish looked appetizing and acceptable, but the moment they tasted it, they realized why this restaurant's food was considered the best in the world by WGO's only Special Grade Executive Officer.

They knew the taste even before chewing it; it was a flavor they had never tasted before, and it captivated their taste buds in an instant.

"Mmm, these ribs are delicious! Ziyin! You should have brought me here sooner!"

"Senior Jing, mind your image, pay attention to your image."

"I ate in a very artistic way!"

Soryuin Shion sighed as she watched Hiratsuka Shizuka and Sengoku Chihiro eat with great relish. Even Shiina Mashiro looked like a hamster with her cheeks bulging.

Shiina Mashiro is basically the type who's already eyeing the other dishes on the table before she's even finished eating, something that really leaves Soryuin Shion speechless.

Chihiro Sengoku raised her glass halfway through the meal, and after a brief clinking of glasses, the group took their first sip of sake. Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed and exclaimed, "Ah! That's great! Shion! Manager Shiraha's cooking is absolutely delicious!"

Soryuin Shion said irritably, "I told you a long time ago that it was delicious, you didn't just believe me now, did you?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I knew it was amazing when I heard about Executive Officer Nakiri Managi's evaluation, but I just didn't expect it to be this delicious!"

Tenyu Zhanzhan chuckled and said, "You seem very nervous."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips twitched. As expected of best friends, these two really do betray each other at the most crucial moment. Hiratsuka Shizuka had no idea how to respond to this.

Bai Yu looked at the book and said softly, "Zhan Zhan, you seem to have some ideas."

Tenyu Zhanzhan immediately became obedient, downed his beer in one gulp, and shouted, "Refill!"

Bai Yu put down his book and walked over. He looked at Tian Yu Zhanzhan, who was holding a cup, and the two stared at each other for a while before Bai Yu took the cup away. Tian Yu Zhanzhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Soryuin Shion laughed and said, "Zhanzhan, you can't do it either."

"Tsk... There seems to be something on the seat of your car."

"Uh... Shh! Shh! Keep it a secret!"

"What secret?"

Upon hearing this, Shion Kanade shuddered, turned around, and said with a smile, "No, no, nothing at all. I just wanted to ask Zashiki to keep my plans to cram for the exam a secret."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "I see, that's so typical of you. Here's the beer Zhanzhan wanted. I brought it all over in the ice bucket. If you want some, just pour it yourselves. Your alcohol tolerance is better than I expected."

"Not counting Ziyin."

Zou Ryuin Shion's lips twitched, but she didn't dare to say anything. She just sat there obediently. When she saw her mother, she would definitely learn from her mother how to make Bai Yu completely submissive!

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Then please enjoy your meal. I won't disturb you any longer... Hmm? Is there anything you need, Mashiro?"

Just as Shiraha was about to leave, she saw Mashiro turn her head and glance at her. After swallowing the food in her mouth, Shiina Mashiro said softly, "Baumkuchen."

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's already prepared for you, but it's being kept fresh right now. Just call me when you're almost full."

"Bai Yu?"

"Ok?"

"Um..."

Bai Yu didn't quite understand what Shiina Mashiro was thinking, but she was quite cute. Suddenly, Bai Yu remembered something and said, "By the way, Mashiro, that little black ball is Sichuan peppercorn, and you can't eat it."

Akemi Souyuu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile, "Even if Mashiro is naive, she would know that Sichuan peppercorns are not edible, right, Mashiro!"

Kanadein Akemi turned to look at Shiina Mashiro, who remained expressionless. Kanadein Akemi swallowed hard and said, "No...no way..."

Shiina Mashiro spat out a chewed peppercorn, picked up her juice, and drank it, maintaining her previous expressionless demeanor. Meanwhile, Kanade Akemi covered her face and said, "Mashiro... I underestimated you..."

"Well?"

"How much did you eat?"

Shiina Mashiro thought for a moment and said, "It felt tingly on the tip of my tongue, which was quite interesting, so I ate... seven? Hmm... six..."

Soryuin Shion's lips twitched slightly as she said, "So, the one that just spat out was the seventh one?"

As expected, Shiina Mashiro nodded amidst everyone's speechless expressions. Kanadein Akemi immediately hugged Shiina Mashiro and said, "Mashiro...it's my fault..."

"Ok?"

"Hey! So white! Let's eat!"

"Zhu Mei..."

"Ok?"

"It's weird..."

As Akemi Souyuuin watched Shiina Mashiro remain expressionless throughout, she felt a sense of dereliction of duty—not as a friend, nor as a professional, but as a mother!

Seeing this, Shiraha sighed and said, "It's pretty much what I thought. It's hard to believe that Mashiro and Sengoku-san are cousins..."

Chihiro Sengoku was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "We're all artsy girls."

"Huh? I see. But Mashiro probably doesn't read shonen manga, right?"

Shiina Mashiro turned her head and whispered, "Shiraha..."

"Ok?"

"I'm very interested in comics..."

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I didn't realize that. But it's really nice to like reading comics."

"Because I want to become a cartoonist."

"Hey? Then let's work towards our goal. Having a goal is a good thing."

"Bai Yu, don't you find this strange?"

"Why is it strange? A good comic can last a long time. Although it doesn't have the same promotional value as a famous painting, from an economic point of view, best-selling works can still be very profitable."

"I know you. I've seen your drawings, and they're quite good. Comics are a profession related to drawing, right? I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but you still have talent and are young, with plenty of options. How will you know the outcome if you don't try? Even if you can't become a comic artist, you can still do it part-time, like short comics."

Kasugano Sora whispered, "But if I update too slowly, I'll probably get razor blades in my mail..."

"So you can also sell razor blades on the side."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mashiro's lips curled up slightly, and Bai Yu smiled and said, "You've only just started high school, take your time to think about your future path. Let's eat first, everyone, please enjoy your meal."

Chapter 462 The King of Cakes, Rantabi Discovers Something Abnormal (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu was sitting quietly reading a book, a stark contrast to everyone else. While everyone else was eating and drinking, he was quietly reading.

Despite the delicious food, which kept Shiina Mashiro from stopping to eat, she clearly had a certain obsession with Baumkuchen.

When they were halfway through the meal, their eating speed suddenly slowed down a lot. Akemi Souyuu didn't know what was going on, but she didn't say anything. After looking around and making sure there was no wasabi or anything like that, she reminded Mashiro that the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns were not to be eaten, and that was all the reminder she needed to give.

"Bai Yu..."

Upon hearing the voice, Bai Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing it was Shiina Mashiro's voice. He turned around and saw Shiina Mashiro staring straight at him without saying a word.

"what happened?"

"Baumkuchen...."

Bai Yu nodded at Shiina Mashiro's expressionless face and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

"Ah."

Baumkuchen is quite a strange cake, after all, it's not normal for a cake to be made like this. However, Baumkuchen is not as simple as it looks.

"Here's your Baumkuchen and black tea, please enjoy."

Shiina Mashiro nodded as she looked at the perfectly formed Baumkuchen in front of her. Even experienced bakers can make mistakes when making Baumkuchen, so she had rarely seen one that was formed so well.

As the name suggests, a Baumkuchen is a ring-shaped cake with a circular hole in the center. The cake itself has concentric rings, just like the rings of a tree, hence the name Baumkuchen (tree ring cake).

When this is served, people who don't know it will definitely say, "Huh? Isn't this just a regular cake base? What's so special about this?"

However, that's not actually the case. You'd be quite surprised if you knew how long this entire Baumkuchen was originally.

Some very skilled bakers can make a Baumkuchen that is heavier than a person. A cake with more than twenty layers and a weight of tens of kilograms is no joke.

This is meticulous work, and it also tests one's patience. After all, if those rings are made according to the traditional method, even the slightest mistake could ruin the appearance of the entire Baumkuchen.

Shiina Mashiro cut off a piece, and the soft, sweet taste made her eyes light up. The previous dishes were also delicious, but they lacked a certain satisfaction compared to the Baumkuchen in front of her. This kind of satisfaction was something that other dishes could not bring, because it was the feeling of a wish being fulfilled.

The name "Baumkuchen" might seem a bit odd, but it's not surprising. However, if you know its other name, and if you don't dislike sweets, then congratulations, this name will definitely appeal to you: it's known as the "King of Cakes."

Indeed, Baumkuchen is revered as the king of cakes. However, considering its difficulty in production and the degree of complexity involved, Baumkuchen truly deserves this title, not to mention its exceptionally delicious taste.

Making Baumkuchen mainly relies on a special baking device, which is an iron rod placed on a fire and constantly rotating, with flames burning underneath the iron rod.

After the baker prepares the base of the Baumkuchen, he slowly pours it onto an iron rod to form a thin crust. Only after this crust is baked can the second layer of cake base be poured on.

Pouring the batter layer by layer like this takes a long time to make a Baumkuchen, but that's precisely why it has such a delicious flavor.
