Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 25: The Cooking Department is Overly Specialized in All Aspects

Apart from morning exercises, Qingshan Li did not use the system all morning.

He attended classes by himself and studied hard in order to save energy and ensure that he could make an A-grade hamburger for Jian Shangai at noon.

This matter was agreed upon by the system, and it was it that made the decision without authorization, but the system is it, and it has the obligation to fulfill the agreement.

Of course, there is another reason for not attending class. He is worried that due to lack of energy, he will be distracted in class and the system will lynch him.

He didn't want to send his classroom selfie to the female teacher.

The cooking club's activity room is the home economics classroom.

On the way there, Aoyama Ri said, "I only agreed to cook for you, not to compete with the cooking club."

"You don't have to pay back the 10,000 yen." Jian Shang Ai said.

The two of them had agreed that they didn't have to pay it back.

But Qingshan Li couldn't help but return it, and Jian Shangai knew this, so she said this.

Aoyama Ri thought this was a good suggestion. He couldn't earn 10,000 yen in a short period of time, and he didn't want to add a double burden, both financially and psychologically, to the Ono sisters because of this matter.

Just when he was about to agree.

"After thinking about it carefully, I decided not to." Jian Shangai suddenly said, "I don't want to pay you to do something, it's not challenging."

What does it mean to be unchallenging...?
The logic of Qingshan is difficult to understand.

Does Jian Shang Ai think that he can do whatever he wants just because he has money? !
wrong!

Money can only buy his life, but it can never buy his soul!

As if she had figured something out, Ai Mi's voice became clearer. She said, "Aoyama Ri, as a member of the club, it's time for you to show your insights into Athenian philosophy. Go and compete with the cooking club!"

The confusion that Muddy had when it was taken by its trainer to participate in the Grand Competition was probably similar to that of Aoyama Ri at this moment.

But what else can be said?

In a world where humans and Pokémon are equal, Pokémon can only eat by lying on the ground.

"Yes, yes." He sighed.

"You can pay me back the ten thousand yen whenever you want." Jian Shangai looked very kind.

In the end, you still have to pay it back.

The two came to the home economics classroom and knocked on the door.

"We're very busy now, please come in by yourself!" the person inside said directly.

It seems that he is not changing clothes or playing cards.

When I saw Shang Ai push open the door, the sizzling sound of freshly washed vegetables being put into the wok immediately rang in my ears.

Three students were busy behind a cooking table.

The aroma of food attracted Qingshan Li, even though he had just finished lunch.

Jian Shangai, who had just finished her meal, frowned as if she disliked the greasy food.

"Excuse me?" asked a boy in an apron.

"This is Aoyama Riki. He won the teacher's praise for his hamburger steak in Home Economics class and told me that his cooking skills are unmatched. I asked, 'Is he better than the cooking club?' He replied, 'Of course.' So, he's here to challenge us."

Like reading a script.

If you meet Ai Shang, you must know another Aoyama Ri.

Although this person has the same name and surname as Aoyama Ri from Adachi Ward, and they go to the same school and take the same home economics class, he has a frivolous personality and never misses any opportunity to show off in front of girls.

"Challenging the team?" The girl in charge of cooking put the dishes on the plates.

After the fire was turned off, the home economics classroom became quiet.

"To put it simply, it's a cooking duel." Jian Shang Ai said.

"Sure," the female chef said, "but cooking isn't about a hamburger steak."

"Ando-senpai." The boy whispered.

"Go wash the pot." said Ando, ​​a third-year senior.

The sound of splashing water could be heard in the quiet classroom.

"Then how do we compete to determine the winner?" Jian Shangai was curious.

She didn't care about the other party's provocative tone at all.

She came to assess the other party's level. Senior An Teng's words and actions would only affect her evaluation, not her mood.

"First, knife skills are the most basic skill in cooking," said senior Ando.

Jian Shangai nodded.

Senior Ando felt that she was a bit presumptuous. She was just a junior, so what did the deputy judge mean by her attitude?
Senior Ando glared at her, picked up the single-edged blade, and decided to teach her a lesson.

Aoyama Ri was startled and instinctively took four or five steps forward. Ando-senpai swung her sword.

"See?" She picked up a thin piece of sashimi with her other hand.

"Yeah, I saw it." Mikami Ai smiled at Aoyama Ri out of the corner of her eye.

Aoyama Ri: "."

Jian Shangai continued, "The cut is crystal clear, and I'm afraid it will still be very elastic after being on the table for a while."

Ando-senpai looked at Mikami Ai and said, "My father works at New Joy."

"Oh, I had dinner there." Jian Shangai said.

"The second competition is barbecue," said Ando. "I personally agree that any food tastes good after being grilled, but making it really delicious is very complicated."

"The barbecue I ate was indeed delicious." Jian Shangai nodded in agreement.

"Grilling temperatures far exceed boiling, steaming, and frying, so the heat must be controlled very precisely to fully unleash the flavor of the ingredients. This is especially true for grilling fish with a complex body, including a head, tail, and unevenly thick back and belly. This requires exceptional skill in controlling the heat."

Jian Shangai nodded.

"Third, the specialty." Senior Ando didn't introduce this in detail, nor did she need to.

"So, in order to determine who's the best chef, they have to compete in three areas: knife skills, grilling, and signature dishes?"

"That's right!" Senior An Teng said, "And you are the challenger, so our cooking club trio will make their respective appearances!"

"Senior Ando!" the boy said again.

"Shuikou!" Although Senior An Teng's voice was not loud, it was full of majesty, as if she was the head chef of this kitchen.

"Ando-senpai."

"You're already a sophomore in high school, and you're still so timid. How are you going to cook for those bigwigs in the political arena in the future? Show me the courage to remain calm even when a piece of dried bonito pierces your heart!"

It’s better to be afraid.

"Dried bonito?" Jian Shangai was puzzled.

Aoyama explained softly, "Dried bonito is very hard. If you're skilled enough, you can cut it into the shape of a knife. After killing someone, you can eat it or cut it into pieces and throw it down the toilet. It's a very effective killing weapon."

"how do you know?"

"I saw it in a mystery novel."

"Wouldn't it be more convenient to use ice skates?" Jian Shangai was even more confused.

"I don't know." Qingshan Li replied.

"I see. Ice knives kill at different temperatures. Dried bonito doesn't lower the wound temperature, doesn't leave moisture, and is easy to carry. But the shape is very demanding. So... the murderer is a chef, right?"

"Yes."

Seeing Shang Ai showing a satisfied expression.

Is now the time to say that? And it’s not difficult at all!

On the other side, the three members of the cooking department also made their decision.

Senior Ando said, "Mizuguchi will represent the cooking club and compete with you in knife skills, Ji Bu will be grilling, and I am a specialty. You must also send three people to compete."

"One person is enough." Jian Shang Ai said with his arms folded.

"If you look down on the cooking club, we will not accept your challenge." Senior Ando picked up the sashimi with a knife and put it directly into her mouth.

Jian Shangai crossed her arms, raised her right hand and rested it on her chin.

"Two more people are missing." she said to herself.

Does this exclude yourself?

"My sister is also a member of the Yayan Club." Qingshan Li said at the right time, "If you need it, I have another sister who can be presented to you, Minister."

A family of three will definitely make a fortune if they join together!
"You reminded me." Jian Shangai came back to her senses, "But thank you for your kindness. I won't be using your sister for the time being. Have you forgotten that the student council president is also a member of our club?"

"We give up!" Senior Ando pressed her hands against her pleated skirt and bowed 90 degrees.

Mikami Ai and Aoyama Ri looked over.

Senior Ando pressed down the heads of her junior Mizuguchi and junior Ji Bu, and the three of them bowed at the same time.

"As long as the two distinguished guests don't let the student council president set foot in the cooking club, we are willing to do anything!" Senior An Teng said seriously, "Even if they force me to dance for you, Ji Bu plays the bass, and Shuikou watches helplessly from the side, it doesn't matter!"

"Ando-senpai!" Mizukuchi was about to cry.

"Shuikou, all this is for the cooking department!" Ji Bu, who had been silent all this time, was holding the bass and even the pick in his hand.

It looks like he really wants to play.
