People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"We used all sorts of soups!"

"Erina?"

"Um... well... I noticed a lot of things were missing... it's too complicated..."

Momoko Akane whispered, "I thought it was going to be cabbage soup, but they just took the cabbage out and didn't even want the soup... Momoko was shocked, and the steps were too complicated... Is this the national dish? This dish actually took more than two hours to make?"

Eirin Yagokoro looked at the boiled cabbage in front of her in disbelief and said, "How is this made...? Is it really that complicated?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Everyone, guess how many ingredients were used in this dish, excluding the cabbage?"

Reimu paused for a moment and said, "Um... Manager Shiraha... this is too difficult... at first glance it looks like cabbage... oh... and goji berries too, I'll only guess two, you guys guess."

Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "I think I can smell the chicken soup... but that's all I know..."

Sakuya Izayoi and the others nodded in agreement. Shiraha smiled and said, "The ingredients for this dish... are roughly cabbage, hen, ham hock, pork ribs, dried scallops, skinless lean chicken breast, lean pork, salt, cooking wine, scallions, ginger, water, and so on..."

"So where are all these things?!" said Matara Okina in disbelief.

"Boiled cabbage in clear broth, boiled cabbage in clear broth, of course it has nothing to do with these things... things that are unrelated naturally won't be served on the table..."

Kaguya Houraisan stared blankly and said, "This dish is a bit too outrageous... its preparation process must be very complicated..."

"First, prepare a clear broth. Then, clean the ingredients such as the hen and put them into a soup pot. Add water, ginger, and scallions, bring it to a boil, add cooking wine, and simmer over low heat. This is the first step."

"Pour the clear broth into another pot, bring it to a boil, add the minced pork and stir well. Once it slowly disperses, use a slotted spoon to remove it all. Discard the minced pork. Then bring the broth to a boil again. Process the minced chicken twice, in the same way as the minced pork. Finally, strain the clear broth to remove the solids and oil. Once the broth is clear and bright like water, add salt to taste. This is the second step."

"Then, put the cabbage in a separate pot of clear broth and simmer it until it is about 70-80% cooked. Then take it out and discard the broth. Replace it with another pot of broth and pour it over the cooled cabbage that has been pricked with a needle until it is fully cooked. That's how this dish is made."

Yuuko Ichihara stared blankly and said, "So it's this complicated...."

Eirin Yagokoro said in disbelief, "A mere cabbage gets this kind of treatment? This...!"

Saki said softly, "You don't think you're eating a cabbage, do you?"

"Hmm? Isn't that right? Eh? It seems like it really isn't!"

Saki said softly, "The cabbage for this dish must be the tenderest core of each cabbage."

Reimu covered her face and said, "This is so high-end... Suddenly I feel like I have a lot of class..."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "That's not bad. Some dishes are more complicated and take longer, like confit duck, which takes two weeks."

Sakuya Izayoi sighed and said, "As expected, I still have so much to learn, young lady. I have failed in my duty."

"No...who would have thought there would be so many outrageous dishes...But Sakuya, are you planning to study cooking?"

"Yes!"

"Oh? Then Meiling and the others are in for a treat! Hmm... this cake really is delicious..."

"I studied hard!"

"I've always believed in you, Sakuya..."

"Miss..."

Yukari Yakumo said irritably, "You two, stop getting all sentimental and get down to business."

"Um..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, a gloomy-faced girl was stomping angrily towards her home, muttering, "I'm so angry... Who did they call a blood pepper?! A tomato?! It's infuriating!"

"Oh no! I forgot that Tsunade-neechan was taking me to the shop today!"

Chapter 836 Tsunade's Headache, Kushina's Expectations (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Tsunade sat quietly in the room, drinking tea and waiting. It was still early, just dusk, and Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the sky.

Ever since Tsunade told Kushina about her relationship with Shiroha that day, Kushina has been wanting to go to the shop. Fortunately, Tsunade has had a lot of free time lately, so she told Kushina that they would go to the shop today.

Kushina went to school cheerfully that morning, and Tsunade sighed and said softly, "Really... do kids these days all have these kinds of worries? They're such chatterboxes though..."

Tsunade had previously sent a message to Rindou Kobayashi, asking her to wait for her and not to go to sleep so early, as there was something she needed Rindou to do, and only Rindou could do it.

The purpose was for Kushina. During this time, Tsunade often heard Kushina complaining to her that some people called her Tomato or Blood Red Pepper because of her red hair.

Tsunade thought it was quite cute, but the students didn't understand why they gave Kushina such a nickname. It's normal for children to do that, since they all like to play pranks and often do childish things.

However, Tsunade was somewhat concerned about Kushina's sullen demeanor every time she returned, as this was not good for Kushina's mental development.

Moreover, Kushina had just experienced the destruction of her country and village, so her mood was already not good. If she were in this state now, she might be thinking about what happened before.

Since Tsunade got together with Hakuba, although she still plays dice, drinks, and fights as usual, her personality has become much gentler than before.

Tap...tap...tap...

When she heard footsteps, Tsunade's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that Kushina had returned. Tsunade turned her head and the door opened just then, and Kushina ran straight over.

"Tsunade-neechan! I'm back!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Tsunade showed no sign of moving, Kushina quickly said, "Tsunade-neechan!"

"Pfft... Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you... Do you want to go change your clothes and wash up?"

Kushina shook her head without saying anything, while Tsunade nodded and said, "Come and wait here for a bit. It will be dark in about an hour before we set off."

"Tsunade-neechan...do I need to ask for leave?"

Tsunade shook her head and said, "I was supposed to ask for leave, but Lucifer and the others just messaged me saying that we can synchronize our time now, so I don't need to ask for leave at all."

"Huh?! Really? That's great!"

Tsunade smiled and said, "Do you want to try Shiraha's cooking?"

"hey-hey...."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Sure, we have plenty of time anyway, and the shop seems quite lively right now. The main reason I'm going is to introduce someone to you."

"Huh? Who is it?"

"She's my sister, an older sister named Kobayashi Rindou. She has a very nice personality, and you two will get along very well."

Kushina said with some anticipation, "Really?! But... won't they think...?"

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "That was just a prank by those brats. Kushina is very cute, and they will all like you. By the way... your Kobayashi Rindou sister has red hair."

"Huh?! Really?! Then... is Kobayashi Rindou-neechan very pretty?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "Although I hate to admit it... but... Rindan really is very beautiful and has a great presence. If she had a different hair color, she wouldn't look as good."

"Then... with Tsunade-neechan...."

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said, "You brat, when it comes to beauty... everyone has their own style. If we're talking about really beautiful ones... Yuuko is one, Lucifer is another, and Ari is another... those three types of beauties."

"Let me tell you, they all have the kind of looks and figures that even women would envy. I don't know how they do it. I only know that Ali has been practicing dance, so her poise and figure are undeniable..."

Kushina thought for a moment and said, "I think I should praise Shiraha-nii, he's really amazing!"

"I don't deny that. Otherwise, how could I, the princess of Konoha and a top ninja of Konoha, have been captured so easily?"

Kushina smiled and said, "Actually, Tsunade-neechan, you're enjoying it too, aren't you...?"

"You little devil... well... but you're not wrong, I'm actually enjoying it. By the way, what are you eating?"

"Soldier ration pills! Brother Baiyu's improved soldier ration pills are so delicious!"

"It's delicious, isn't it? But don't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat anymore later."

"Oh!"

Tsunade sighed, feeling a real headache coming on. Wasn't this just making things difficult for her? Things were clearly about to get chaotic, and then the timelines synchronized... what if a war broke out right after the wedding, or even before...?

She's a ninja, so she can accept this unexpected situation, but what about Soryuin Shion and the others? Are they going to wait until their war is over in who knows how many years before they get married? She herself doesn't want to drag it out that long.

Thinking about this gave Tsunade a headache. Even if she got married, a war a few years later would still give her a headache. If she got married, she would definitely go to Hakuba's side, but if a war really broke out, she absolutely could not sit idly by.

If she goes to war again then, who knows how many years will pass? It's okay if she doesn't have children, but what if she does? Will she leave her husband and children behind to go to war? When she comes back, her children won't know her, so where will she cry?

Tsunade could be said to have thought as far ahead as possible. She also knew very well that it was best not to trouble Lucifer and the others with such matters. After all, Konoha had nothing to do with them, and even if a war really broke out, it wouldn't be a blood feud, so they would probably surrender.

Tsunade sighed and said, "What's going on here... Hmm? It's almost time... Kushina, let's get ready to go!"

"Oh!"

Chapter 837 Everyone's Reasons, Reimu's Answer (Please Subscribe~)

By this time, Yukari Yakumo and the others had slowed down their eating pace, and everyone was putting on a forced serious expression. There was no way around it; the atmosphere had become too lively to be serious in such a short time.

Yukari Yakumo said softly, "So, everyone has... five hours to consider..."

Five hours sounds like a lot, but in terms of the current topic, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could go on for more than five hours. Suzuki Satoru was still being asked by Shinonono Tsukasa about his time travel experience, while Erina and the others were asking him about some things they didn't understand about the previous dishes.

Modara Okina said softly, "I want to know your attitude now. Today it's not a matter of the minority obeying the majority, but rather everyone must agree for it to be considered passed."

Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "I believe some of you already have the answer, so please tell me, and it would be best if you could also explain your reasons."

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "I agree, because I know this place."

The brief answer stunned everyone. It was simple, but the attitude was exceptionally clear, even unquestionable and unchangeable.

Modara Okina chuckled and said, "As expected of the Queen of the Four Seasons Flowers... that's quite insightful... So, what about the rest?"

Marisa Kirisame raised her hand and said with a smile, "I-I-I-I agree! There's no reason! I just know that Manager Shiraha, Yuuko-nee, and Master Lucifer are all very good people! I know that very well!"

Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "You're quite knowledgeable... Is that really the reason?"

"It's not just that... I've met many guests from other worlds before. Although some of them have blood on their hands, most of them are there because of their position and survival, or because they were forced into it. But they all find redemption and return to the right path."

"And... many powerful and great people have come here, like Aragorn and his group before. I haven't met them, but I've heard of them. They are all great people. And then there's Saitama. Although he looks funny, he is a hero, even though he always says he did it out of interest..."

"But no matter what, he's still doing great things! So I think this place is great!"

Modara Okina nodded thoughtfully, then asked with a puzzled look, "Aragorn? Did he do something great?"

Marisa Kirisame raised her hand and said, "Let me tell you! I know this story very well! Just hearing it gives me a feeling of passionate awe."

Remilia chuckled and said, "That serious? Is it a war of life and death between races?"

Remilia said it jokingly, but she was quickly stunned because Reimu and the others who had personally met Aragorn and his group all nodded.

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "Shiraha is the only human man I acknowledge, but Aragorn and the others deserve respect..."

Eirin Yagokoro asked in confusion, "What exactly happened?"

Marisa Kirisame cleared her throat and began to speak. Everyone listened attentively, occasionally showing expressions of amazement. After a long while, Marisa sighed and said, "And then humanity finally won..."

Reimu said softly, "Although I did not experience such a war, as a human, I have deep respect for their actions."

Sakuya Izayoi nodded and said, "Yes... the era of humanity, bought with faith and blood, truly deserves respect..."

Kaguya Houraisan chuckled and said, "This is truly a shop that piques my curiosity... So, Reimu, what are your thoughts?"

After hesitating for a long time, Reimu finally said softly, "I... to be honest, I thought about it for a long time, and the conclusion I've come to is... the connection..."

Yakumo Yukari's lips curled up slightly, and everyone remained unusually calm. Matara Okina said softly, "You've thought about it for so long, you must have a good reason."

"On the contrary, my reasoning is very simple... What kind of people do you think Ari, Yuuko, and the others are?"

Remilia said softly, "Although we spent very little time together, I could tell that they were all very nice people. Even Lucifer, the legendary Demon King who is the Queen of Hell, is a very friendly person."

Sakuya Izayoi nodded and said, "That's right... If you didn't know that Miss Lucifer was Lucifer, you would probably really think she was a good wife who was worried about her family affairs."

Reimu tilted her head and said, "So why would a group of people like this have any evil thoughts? At most, they're just cunning and mischievous. Marisa is much worse than them."

"Hey! Reimu! How have I been mean?!"

"Shut up! Thief!" x7

Marisa whispered, "Can you call something a magician does steal... I borrowed it... Besides! Remilia! You have so many books over there! It's such a waste for just one person to read them!"

Everyone rolled their eyes. Reimu said softly, "I think a family like that might only connect with the world for the sake of traveling. After all... what are they lacking?"

Everyone was taken aback. Marisa nodded and said, "That makes sense... If it were territory... the shop wouldn't have so many people... and it wouldn't be such a small place."

Reimu said softly, "Money? They drink Conti like it's a beverage. Power? What power does Gensokyo have? Besides, the Queen of Hell, the Great Youkai, and the Dimensional Witch, what power do they need? Strength? You've seen it here, they don't even use strength. At most, Yuuko uses a barrier. What do they need so much power for?"

"Finally, there are people. Gensokyo does have a lot of beautiful women, but... if it's for this reason... I don't think it's that difficult to hypnotize Marisa and get her to link the worlds."
