People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Everyone nodded in understanding. Bai Yu said gently, "As far as New Year's dishes are concerned, this dish is enough. But people will still cook a lot of dishes. It is impossible to finish them all in one meal. Some will be left over, but some are best eaten first. Then new dishes will be served, and the table will not be cleared until the whole New Year is over."

"It depends on the place. There are many taboos and customs during the Lunar New Year, even the way you take out the trash has its own rules."

Lucifer asked in confusion, "So many customs? But what is this dish called?"

"It's called... basin."

"Huh? Just one basin?"

"All you know how to say is 'add a dish'?"

"Poon Choi?"

"Um...."

Chapter 76 Everyone's Cooking, Jabami Yumeko Loses (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone was taken aback for a moment. It really was a hasty name. But then they thought of braised pork or fried rice, and it didn't seem so unacceptable.

Everyone watched as Bai Yu arranged the ingredients. To be honest, they had never seen Bai Yu make such a time-consuming dish before. Even Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and real pure chocolate did not take this long to prepare. After all, they had to spend a lot of time preparing them, and the chocolate was also stirred by a special machine.

When the scallops were finally placed in the middle of the curry fish balls, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is probably what they mean by 'the presentation takes more time than the preparation' when it comes to a dish."

Everyone nodded, and Yuuko Ichihara swallowed hard and asked, "Is this... delicious?"

Which one are you referring to?

"Are all of them delicious?"

"It doesn't taste good, don't eat it."

"I don't believe you! Hurry up! Whose food isn't ready yet? Hurry up!" Lucifer said irritably, "You've eaten so much and you're still hungry?!"

"There's a fundamental difference! Besides, I only ate some nuts and fruit."

Everyone rolled their eyes. Night Forest Red said softly, "Hmm... my dish is ready too. I guess I'm the last one..."

Bai Yu said gently, "After all, your cooking takes more time. In that case, it's time to prepare dinner. But... Sonoko, what have you and Marina prepared?"

"This...this is definitely a dish you wouldn't expect!"

"Whoa!"

Amidst the commotion, everyone brought their dishes to the table one by one. At first glance, it was... a chaotic mess of food, with quite a few strange dishes, but overall it smelled quite delicious.

"So, what kind of food do you two have?"

"Ta-da! My and Marina's heartfelt creation... a summer special Oden!"

“Uh…”xn

Lucifer covered his face and said, "Although the quality is not bad, but... I don't know why, it just feels very rushed... You two discussed it for so long, and in the end, all you got was oden?"

"Huh? Oden is delicious!"

Bai Yu laughed and said, "Looks like we'll have to eat this standing up. But speaking of which... Asagi, is this... black pepper pork tenderloin that you and Hancock made?"

Hancock said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... is it possible that this is ginger-braised pork tenderloin...?"

Lan Yu Qiancong nodded as well. After everyone glanced at it, they all raised their eyebrows. Putting aside why the ginger and broth were black, there was just one simple question... Bai Yu was already very skilled to be able to tell that it was pork tenderloin.

Sachi said blankly, "As expected of Bai Yu, he could actually tell it was tenderloin. I thought it was tripe..."

Asagi snorted and said, "You'll know once you try it! It's absolutely delicious! Don't judge a book by its cover!"

“Uh…”xn

The judge sighed and said, "You're not even as good as Jinx... At least our food here is presentable, and although I tried it, it wasn't delicious but edible..."

Jinx snorted and said, "Of course!"

Although I learned to stir-fry on the spot, at least it's still edible. And the characteristic of black pepper beef tenderloin is that as long as it's not too salty and there isn't too much black pepper, it's edible.

Everyone glanced at the dishes, which weren't particularly appealing but were still decent, and nodded in approval. Klara smiled and said, "Hey? Before we eat, Bai Yu, why don't you guess who made these dishes?"

"Alright, but I won't say what I saw or what I know."

"Hmm!" xn

After looking at it, Bai Yu said softly, "This set meal of fried chicken, rice cakes, and fried sausage, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhengyi, you made it, right?"

"That's right! Not bad, is it? This is a great choice for parties!"

Bai Yu guessed one by one, and he guessed Lucifer's and the others' dishes correctly. When Bai Yu saw a plate of stir-fried beef with herbs, he was stunned for a moment before looking at Jabami Yumeko.

"Huh? You guessed it? Mr. Bai Yu is really amazing."

Bai Yu said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you could cook Thai food?"

"I've been to the restaurant before and found the flavors quite interesting, so I did some research. It's a dish I've never shown before. I was thinking that you'd think of Sister Dikola or Sister Feng Shui, Mr. Shiraha. It's really hard to fool you, Mr. Shiraha."

Bai Yu said gently, "Even if Dikla were to cook Thai food, she probably wouldn't make this dish. Restaurants of her level wouldn't usually give her this for evaluation. As for feng shui... she's only been to that country a few times. Even if she knew how to cook their food, she wouldn't make a dish like this to go with rice."

Wu Fengshui sighed and said, "Thai food? I can only make Thai curry and gapao rice, oh... and lime chicken soup."

Dekkera nodded and said, "Indeed, but I do know how to make this dish. I ate it when I was little, and it was really good with rice. I haven't had it for many years, and I miss it a bit."

Yumeko Jabami said with a smile, "In that case, Dekkera-nee, you should eat more. I'm quite confident in my cooking skills. Also... it's a pity, it looks like I'll have to give Mr. Shiraha a gift pack... I should have known better than to challenge Mr. Shiraha."

Yumiko asked in confusion, "What gift package?"

"I made a bet with Mr. Bai Yu that he couldn't guess what dish I was making. If I lost, I had to give him a big gift package. And what happened when I lost...?"

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "Challenging Shiraha with food? That's more absurd than boxing against Shiraha..."

"So...it's a pity. But what exactly is this wasabi for? Is it for sashimi? But isn't there a bit too much of it?"

"Well... you'll find out later, but for now... let's eat."

"Hmm!" xn

Chapter 77 The Speech of the Group: They Gathered Together Because They Wanted a Home (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone's focus was definitely on Shiraha's cooking, as the "head of the family"—it was arguably the most eye-catching dish of all.

Yuko Ichihara had been staring at the curry fish balls for a long time, and then picked one up. These weren't fish balls made with flour; they were real fish balls made with pure fish meat.

Because of this, it is incredibly flavorful, with a bouncy and tender texture. Even the strong sweet and spicy curry flavor cannot overshadow the freshness of this seafood fish ball.

The moment it enters your mouth, you're greeted with a strong sense of exoticism. It's just fish, yet it's so chewy and springy. This isn't meant to be eaten with rice; it's meant to be enjoyed as a snack with a toothpick or a small fork.

Walking down the street, carrying a small box filled with these fragrant and hot curry fish balls, you can eat them as you walk, or even take them home to watch a favorite movie while you eat them – that would be an excellent choice.

Suddenly, Yumiko thought of something and said gently, "More than that, I think... Shiraha, shouldn't you say something? This is the first time we've had a meal together like this."

Bai Yu paused for a moment and said, "Say something? What should I say?"

"Anything is fine. In general, let everyone say something. As the head of the family, you should at least express your opinion."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu said gently, "I've always been alone. I'm very happy to have so many friends and...family now. You all know I'm a very realistic person."

"I've always said that I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary restaurant manager, so I have all the emotions that ordinary people have, whether it's liking, greed, or sighing, etc. I'm probably a very simple person to understand."

"Therefore, I will do my best to maintain both my family and my friendships. As I said, feelings are a consumable, so if you are willing to give them up, you should cherish them."

"So, whether now or in the future, I will not change. Love and family will always be my most cherished treasures. Whether now or in the future, I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities. So... all along... thank you for your companionship. Please take care of me in the future."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Kobayashi Ryudan whispered, "You big jerk..."

"Big pig's trotter..."xn

"Pfft..."xn

Bai Yu just smiled and didn't say anything. Ichihara Yuko chuckled and said, "A cunning remark, it's really hard to know what to do. As for me, I'll just say two sentences."

"No matter what my identity was before, I am now a boss's wife. For someone like me who has never had a family before... I think the same way as Bai Yu. Although I can't have my lover all to myself, I am still willing to share with everyone."

"As Bai Yu said, I will fulfill my responsibilities. Whether now or in the future, I will never leave you. Please continue to support me in the future!"

Everyone clapped in a daze. Yuuko Ichihara smiled and said, "Aren't you going to say something, you one of the group's darlings?"

Kasugano Sora paused for a moment, and everyone looked over. Kasugano Sora would usually hide, but this time she thought for a moment before saying softly, "As you all know, my parents have passed away."

“I have always lived in pain and loneliness. I am so happy that I was picked up by Brother Baiyu, that he helped me, that I was able to recover my health, and that I was able to have a new family. Sometimes I feel like I am dreaming.”

"But the warmth of those genuine feelings, whether it was everyone's concern, their tolerance of my bad habits, or even their nagging, all made me feel real. If I have one wish right now, it's that we can all stay together forever! So, please take care of me in the future!"

Lucifer nodded and said, "No wonder you got first place in the class, your language skills have become much richer."

"Sister Lucy! All feelings are gone!"

"puff...."

The group then expressed their feelings, which, though touching, were all their genuine thoughts. They also joked around from time to time, and those who stumbled over their words were teased, especially Gurefia, who, despite her stammering, expressed her expectations for the future.

When they got to Jinx, she was still in a daze. Kasugano Sora said irritably, "Say something, did your computer crash?"

"Huh? Oh... I have nothing to say..."

"Huh? Really? Just one sentence is fine, don't mess it up."

Jinx thought for a moment, her mind filled with the various experiences of the past two days, constantly intertwining with her past experiences. The story of Jinx in Zaun was over, and now a new story of Jinx was beginning, but... she still felt like she was dreaming, and she wasn't ready for it yet.

After a long while, Jinx finally raised her head, unusually calm, displaying a composure befitting someone her age. Just as Yukari Yakumo was about to say something, she heard Jinx softly say, "Hey! Cook!"

"Ok?"

"I'll reluctantly accept you as the head of the family, Jinx! Um... nice to meet you in the future!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment before shaking their heads with smiles. They knew that Jinx really wanted to join the family.

Just then, Cheng stood on the chair, raised her hand, and said, "I...I want to speak too!"

Yukari Yakumo laughed and said, "Oh, Orange, what are you trying to say?"

"I...I want us all to be together forever!"

Yumiko ruffled Orange's hair and said with a smile, "Yes..."

"Ok!"

Nami suddenly remembered something, chuckled, and said, "Eh? I just realized that."

"What did you find?"

"The reason we're all able to come together isn't just because of fate, but also because we all want a home..."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment. Lucifer smiled slightly and said softly, "Let's eat! Who was complaining about being hungry earlier?"

"Ok!"

Chapter 78 Bai Yu Meets the Parents Again, His Husband's Henpecked Uncle (Please Subscribe~)

The dishes everyone made weren't exactly delicious, but they weren't bad either; they were just average. Of course, they couldn't compare to the professional level of Erina and the others, or to the level of Eirin, Yakumo Ran, Yumiko, and Yonomori Kokoro, who cook every day and are top-notch homemakers.

However, no one dares to eat this ginger-braised pork tenderloin. Just kidding. If you eat this, you might have the Periodic Tables exploding. Pork tenderloin is a very tender piece of meat, but it can turn into something like charcoal and be stir-fried into something like tripe. Who would dare to eat that?

Putting everything else aside, even the unconvinced Asagi took a bite and never touched the dish again. In the end, Asagi simply attributed the problem to the poor quality of the pork, leaving the WGO executives completely astonished. You dare question the quality of WGO's ingredients...?

Everyone drank alcohol or soft drinks as they pleased, but even Kasugano Sora had a beer today. Just kidding, this is a foreign country, and at home, so having a drink is perfectly normal.

However, Kasugano Sora and the others who had never drunk alcohol before all trembled after taking a sip. They really didn't understand why so many people liked to drink.

After downing a glass in one gulp, Kraki suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Wait! Wait! I forgot to take a picture!"

Sonoko laughed and said, "I already took the photos, here they are, I've already posted them in the group chat."

Kraki glanced at the photo and realized it was just the time when everyone was about to start eating. Both the food on the table and the people themselves were in the photo. Sonoko only showed her head briefly, since it was a selfie.

Kraki breathed a sigh of relief before asking疑惑地问道：“Did you forget something...?”

Hisako whispered, "Kraki-nee...you need to call Auntie..."

"Oh! Right, right! Bai Yu..."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Let's fight."
