People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Excited! Of course I'm excited! Oh... right, I almost forgot to mention, I just talked to my mom on the phone, and she said she's planning to stay for a while when Christmas comes."

Yuuko Ichihara tilted her head and said, "Hmm? Didn't Leonora say she was coming for the New Year?"

"No, no, Mom said she plans to stay for a while after the New Year, and go back when everything is almost ready. She'll work overtime and try to resolve everything before next summer vacation, and then come help us."

"Huh?! Really?! Leonora is so important, if she's working overtime, she's at least on par with two... three Yumikos! Won't she get overworked...?"

"I really hadn't considered that, I was just too happy..."

"You really are a brat... If Leonora hears this, you'll definitely be kneeling on a washboard. Oh well, I'll tell Eirin later. With Eirin's abilities, making a special medicine to relieve fatigue should be a piece of cake."

Alice exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?! There's such a miracle drug?! Really?! What's the principle behind it? Biology? No, no, no... biomedicine?! No, no, no... biological science?! Biochemistry!"

"Um...it's just pharmacology...this isn't your field, is it? Why are you so interested?"

"After all, molecular gastronomy is related to chemistry, and pharmacology also requires studying chemistry. Moreover, after getting to know my husband, I learned that many seemingly ordinary ingredients have medicinal value. Maybe Sister Yonglin has some special extraction methods?"

“That makes sense... Maybe there really is a way. You can ask Yonglin later. Maybe she'll ask you to buy some equipment or something.”

Alice scratched her head and said, "Instruments? But those things I called instruments are actually kitchen utensils. What does Sister Yonglin need kitchen utensils for?"

"You suspect that Yonglin has a special refining method. Why can't Yonglin use these machines to purify the medicine? Maybe it can save a lot of time in processing the dregs."

"That makes sense... A centrifuge or some kind of special grinder should work... Okay, by the way, Yuuko-nee, you...."

"What's wrong with me?"

Alice coughed lightly and said, "Um... Yuuko-nee, do you guys have any folic acid or something...?"

Yuko Ichihara paused for two seconds before smiling and saying, "Of course, Erina and the others have them too. You can buy them later. But just so you know, folic acid doesn't taste very good."

"I will never lose to Erina!"

"You would have been better off putting this kind of energy into the fall election."

"Um... I've already prepared the dish! I just don't know what the final result will be. To be honest, I can't accept either the outcome of meeting Hisako or being eliminated by my husband."

"Don't overthink it, just give it your all! Hey! We're back!"

Nakiri Managi turned to look at Alice and said irritably, "Alice, is your head a drill? Why is your hair so messy? Did you crawl into a pillow?"

"Humph!"

Nakiri Managi was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Why did it seem like everyone else knew something, while she was the only one who knew nothing? How could this be so strange?

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Alice just called Leonora, and Leonora said she'll be staying for a while after the New Year, then she'll have to work overtime to finish before summer vacation, and then she'll come help us in the second half of the year."

Gurefia said with some surprise, "Isn't Leonora going to work herself to death? Her profession is mentally demanding, and she often has to stay up late and maintain a high level of concentration. After all, even a single wrong number in an experiment can cause problems. She'll definitely run into trouble."

“Yeah, I think so too, so, Eirin.”

"what?"

"Yonglin, you should hurry back and find some time to make a special medicine to relieve fatigue and boost immunity, so you can bring it back to Leonora for Christmas."

Eirin Yagokoro nodded and said, "I remember making such a special medicine before... but I found it wasn't very useful, so I put it aside. I'll study it again later. However, Leonora's behavior also shows that the parents' group is definitely discussing it now. We can't just live such a leisurely life."

Everyone nodded. Alice didn't care much. Having just completed the only major transformation in her life, Alice was now very attached to Bai Yu.

"Honey, Yuko-nee, is there anything else they haven't told me? I asked them but they wouldn't tell me, saying I'd find out in a few days. Honey, I know you're the best, please tell me."

Bai Yu pinched Alice's cheek and said with a smile, "Well... it's more reliable for Yuuko and the others to make the decision."

"Hmm...okay, honey, eat this. It's super nutritious and can boost your immunity."

"I can do it myself."

"Can the way you put food in your own hands be the same as the way your wife puts food in your hands?"

Riven propped her chin on her hand and said, "Alice, you suddenly seem a lot more reliable."

"I've always been reliable, okay? After all, I'm a good wife, right, honey?"

"Tch~" xn

"Hmph! That's me!"

Chapter 727 Bai Yu's Reflections, The Reliable Alice (Please Subscribe~)

Just as Yuuko Ichihara and the others had arranged, Alice and the others went to rest after breakfast. Valme originally wanted to dawdle a bit, but she was immediately pulled away by Luna Yomizuki.

With one hand on his hip and the other taking off his sunglasses, Zheng Yi looked at the sea and chuckled, saying, "It really is like night falls and day breaks without you even noticing. I've never observed the world like this before."

Sachi asked with some curiosity, "Didn't you exist a long time ago? And haven't you ever come to the human world to observe it?"

"Maybe this is what my husband meant when he said to slow down, just keep moving forward, and when you reach a certain point, you suddenly look up and find the garden full of fragrance. That's pretty much it. I used to think there was nothing special about it, but now I feel like I've suddenly discovered something very ordinary and it's quite interesting."

Eirin Yagokoro nodded and said, "I know. That's why life suddenly has meaning, suddenly feels stable, and suddenly has many goals. It's because everyone is like this, isn't it?"

"Right, honey, what do you think you'd do if you didn't want to run the shop anymore? A fighter? Start a company? Be a race car driver? Or something else?"

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then tossed over a fishing net and said with a smile, "Do you know what the first sound you'll hear when you wake up tomorrow will be?"

"I do not know."

"I don't know either, so are you curious about what you'll hear tomorrow?"

"That's actually kind of strange..."

"That way, tomorrow will have a new meaning. I haven't thought about this. If I get tired of it, I can close down and go on a trip. I can go fishing like this, run a rally, take on a boxing match, or work part-time as a bartender. Who knows?"

"However, perhaps after going through all this and experiencing everything, we'll still return to where we started. It's probably what they mean by 'stay true to your original aspirations, and you'll achieve your goal.'"

Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "Our family has a lot of original intentions, so it's only natural that we can say it's eternal. Besides, honey, if you don't open the shop, people like Caitlin won't be able to go back to their parents' home to visit their aunt and uncle."

"Pfft..."xn

Ali breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't have a family home to go back to, so I'll go wherever my husband goes from now on."

Saki clapped her hands and said, "Oh, right, Yuuko, Grayfia is here too. What was the idea you mentioned before? Grayfia is here, why don't you tell her?"

"What method? What's the matter?"

"Oh, so you mean we'll definitely have kids in the future, but that would mean a lot more people. The kids can't leave home so early, but what space will we have left? If we expand, we'll need to reconsider the space we planned to use."

Gurefia nodded and said, "Indeed, unless it's like the underworld in our area, where one room is the size of two villas, then it's impossible."

"Wow...you guys are really rich..."

Gurefia paused for a moment and said, "It's alright... After all, the Underworld is essentially an entire world, and the great nobles all have their own territories. The area is definitely not just a few cities; some can even reach the size of a country. As a lord and head chef, that's how it must have come about."

After Yuuko Ichihara whispered something in Grayfia's ear, Grayfia's eyes lit up and she said, "Yuuko, you're really something, you even thought of such a method. If I remember correctly, it should work. As long as we can share the permissions, there won't be any problems. I just don't know if it will actually work."

Yuko Ichihara laughed and said, "Hey, absolutely! Don't forget, there's me and Lucy too. If the two of us can't solve something together, then it must be a huge crisis. But obviously, that's impossible. Besides, if I get it, it's mine. Why would I restrict my own child?"

“That makes sense. Okay, then you and Lucy can come back with me. If I remember correctly, Zi seems to be interested as well.”

"Hey... by the way, Eirin, Alice wanted to ask if you have any special refining methods. Do you?"

Eirin Yagokoro paused for a moment and said, "Refining method? Spiritual energy?"

"Um... well, let's forget about it then... By the way, do you want to go back and find some high-tech equipment to treat it? It would make things easier for you and Reisen."

Eirin Yagokoro thought for a moment and said, "This... doesn't seem like it's a bad idea... We'll think about it later. Husband, how should we cast this fishing net?"

Bai Yu, holding a fishing net in his hand, said, "For this, you must turn your body slightly to the side, and then throw it far away. Don't throw it directly, but rather like you're throwing a frisbee, spreading the net out as far as possible in the air."

Bai Yu then demonstrated, and Gurefia and the others followed suit in a similar manner. Meanwhile, in another room, Nakiri Managi mumbled sleepily, "Alice, you brat, are you crazy?! I'm sleepy even though you're not!"

"Managi-nee, you should be secretly happy that I'm still thinking about you. I'm much more reliable than Erina."

"Huh? What are you talking about...?"

"Um... Managi-nee, do you know what I just did?"

"Huh? What are you doing? Didn't you go to wash your hands? Oh right... why are you back so late? Did you secretly go and cling to the civil service exam taker and act all cute? I knew it!"

Alice whispered, "She did go to be with her husband, but... it's not like what you said, Nagi-nee..."

"So what did you go to do?"

Alice whispered something in Nakiri Managi's ear, and Managi blinked before her pupils contracted in disbelief as she exclaimed, "What?! You brat! You...you actually..."

"Not bad... I only found out by chance... Erina didn't mention it at all..."

"Huh?! Erina?! When? Wait... the last trip?! Wait, I knew something was off! What a rip-off! What a rip-off! That brat!"

“Um….Managi-nee…”

"No way! I won't lose to that brat!"

"That's right!"

"You dare to speak! Let me have a good talk with you first!"

"Eh?!"

Chapter 728 The Person in Bai Yu's Memory, Yuuko Ichihara's Doubts (Please Subscribe~)

"Hey! Honey! Look what I caught!"

Bai Yu, who was processing sea urchins, paused for a moment, then turned around and saw Zheng Yi holding a fishing net in one hand, with a shark clearly visible inside.

Yuko Ichihara narrowed her eyes and said, "I never want to eat shark again in my life, throw it back right now! Besides! This guy is eating the fish you caught!"

"Huh?! It really is! I'll throw it!"

Bai Yu sighed and said, "You were right to throw it back. You should have thrown it back even if you caught it. But, Zhengyi, you've already eaten several of your fish."

"I'm so angry! Isn't this guy afraid someone will stew him?!"

"You'll have to ask it about that, Ali. You've caught it...wait, what is this...?"

Everyone looked at the starfish that Bai Yu was holding and curiously crowded around. After poking it, Shaqi said with some doubt, "Hey, honey, how do you eat a starfish? I've never prepared one before."

"This... starfish is fishier than other seafood. People who like it won't notice it, but... if you want to eat it, you can clean it up. It's not worth much. But if you see how starfish eat, you might not want to eat it."

"How did you eat it?"

Bai Yu didn't say anything. He found a slightly smaller transparent fish tank and threw the starfish in. The starfish stuck to the glass wall as soon as he put it in. Ali blinked and said, "Why does it look a little scary... What are those little transparent claws? Uh... Why are they moving? It's a little scary."

Gurefia and the others nodded. Bai Yu didn't say anything, but casually picked up a small fish and stuffed it into the starfish's arms. As Gurefia and the others watched the little claws carry the fish to its mouth, suddenly a flower-like thing appeared.

"Honey, what's this?"

"When a starfish encounters a large piece of food, it will vomit its stomach out, digest it with digestive enzymes, and then put it back in."

“Huh.…”xn

Before Bai Yu could even ask if they wanted to cook anything, Ali simply picked up the fish tank and threw it back in, seawater and starfish alike, the answer being obvious.

Yuko Ichihara breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It really feels like a gradual sense of accomplishment. We caught so many fish this morning. Honey, how much do you think we'll make on this trip?"

"I don't know, but there are quite a few valuable items. Besides, no matter how valuable they are, we keep some of the good ones for ourselves and give the rest to WGO. The ones we sell are relatively ordinary."

"That's true... But then again, honey, we still don't know how you met so many people in the family, or your friends. Anyway, it's a bit early to prepare lunch, and we've run out of fishing nets, so let's chat about it."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Sure, who do you want to hear from?"

Yuuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "Asking like this really doesn't make me very sure... In that case... how about we talk about Shion? She said it was Truth or Dare, what's going on?"

Bai Yu smiled and spoke to them slowly. After listening, Ichihara Yuko and the others looked at each other strangely. Zhengyi clicked his tongue and said, "So Shion was just a little girl at the beginning... But she was really rash. Honey, is there anything we don't know? Something related to the family?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Well... I think so..."

"I guess so? What do you mean by 'I guess so'? Honey, aren't you sure yourself?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm not sure myself. Maybe it was just a dream? Or something... I'm really not sure."

"Hmm? What is it? Tell me."

Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, he suddenly saw A-Li turn around. When she turned back, he saw that A-Li's black hair had changed, and she had become like Shiranui.

Yuko Ichihara laughed and said, "Pfft... It seems you're holding a grudge too."

Shiranui nodded and said, "Although we are one person, we are not in a certain sense. She has been acting coquettishly with her husband for a long time. Now it's my turn to listen. Husband, you say it. We are one person."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm not really sure how to express it... I remember it was a long time ago, the day before I opened the shop. I think there was a little girl with black hair, holding a knife, standing in front of the shop looking at me..."

"Huh?" xn
