After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

Kojiro Shinomiya grumbled unhappily.

At Lu Xuanyu's table, after the vegetables were washed, they were ready to be processed.

He took a deep breath and quickly held it.

My palm gently brushed across the various vegetables.

The ripeness of the ingredients, the thickness of the peel, the fine texture of the fibers, the optimal cooking time, the best cutting point... oh dear...

The complex yet nuanced language conveyed the information accurately and flawlessly.

It's as if you're having a pre-cooking conversation with the vegetables at the table.

Superpower... The Words of Food!

The ability to fully grasp the essence of ingredients, maximize their potential, and fully present their "self".

"Yes, I heard you, I heard what you were saying."

"Come on, my fellow vegetable sprites..."

"Please reside within my cuisine!"

.......

85. The secretary's slip of the tongue and subsequent apprenticeship with Lu Xuanyu shocked everyone! [Please subscribe!]

The kitchenware box was placed on the table, and Lu Xuanyu took out the Wind Blade.

Make precise and quick cross-shaped cuts on tomatoes and onions.

After a slight whistling sound, the onions and tomatoes split open automatically, each one the same size.

Tomato chunks, onion chunks, fresh garlic, and various seasonings were blended together in a food processor.

While waiting, Lu Xuanyu did not sit idle.

When vegetables are cut, their internal moisture and original flavor are quickly lost.

Through the information conveyed by the language of food, the optimal time to act was maximized.

“Swoosh…”

“Swoosh…”

The pleasant sound of wind arose again, this time as a display of knife skills aimed at the main ingredient.

Using eggplant as a base, tomatoes, zucchini, and carrots are quickly sliced ​​into uniformly thin slices.

They overlapped and staggered, falling precisely into the pot.

……

Outside the restaurant.

"Wow...what amazing knife skills!"

"The thickness of the slices for all kinds of vegetables is controlled so evenly, two minutes? No, one minute!"

"Such a large amount of work was completed in just one minute, and... have you heard any rumors?"

"A sharp, whistling sound came from Lord Xuan Yu's kitchen knife!"

Alice exclaimed in admiration.

Such basic skills are nothing to be amazed about for an excellent chef.

The key is the control of speed and size.

As the layers are laid out, even a slight deviation in the size of the circular slices can affect the overall aesthetic appeal of the dish.

However, Lu Xuanyu maintained a certain level of accuracy despite his incredible speed.

After praising her, Alice couldn't help but frown again.

Meticulous, professional, focused, agile...

Lu Xuanyu directly demonstrated the fundamental skills of a chef to the audience.

Can……

So far, Lu Xuanyu's Provençal vegetable stew can only be described as following the recipe exactly.

Aside from the impressive basic skills, the cooking methods are almost identical to those in restaurant recipes.

Doing it this way will definitely not allow you to defeat Kojiro Shinomiya.

The girls watching were all well aware of this.

What secret weapon does Young Master Xuan Yu possess?

"We've already started simmering the sauce for the braising. Do you want to work on the sauce?"

Yoshino Yuuki is very observant.

When Lu Xuanyu was making the sauce, in addition to the basic seasonings...

It appears that some unknown seasoning has been added to several opaque jars.

"The sauce needed for the Provençal vegetable stew is the soul of the entire dish."

"That's definitely what Xuan Yu was thinking; he wanted to create a soup that was uniquely his own!"

Ryoko Sakaki agreed with Yuuki Yoshino's statement.

Erina Nakiri's cold words interrupted their discussion.

"It's no use, this is not enough at all."

"Sauce is just an aid to cooking, not a secret weapon."

"Authentic French cuisine pursues refinement and style in its main ingredients."

"Perhaps Lu Xuanyu has his own ideas and wants to change the style of sauce in traditional vegetable stew."

"But this level of change directly limits the upper limit of how much the dish can be elevated."

"In my opinion, what he really wanted to 'innovate' wasn't the sauce at all!"

His words were sharp and decisive, which might not have been very pleasant to hear.

However, no one at the scene refuted Erina's words.

Speaking of culinary skills, Erina, who possesses the God Tongue, received elite education from a family of chefs from a young age.

As the student with the highest academic performance, he completed all the academic assessments in junior high school.

This clearly demonstrates that Erina's understanding of the world is far superior to that of others.

"Colorful bell peppers!"

"Could this be the secret weapon?"

Hojo Miyoko, who hadn't spoken much until now, surprisingly spoke up.

Hisako nodded in agreement, echoing his sentiment.

"I was curious from the beginning about green bell peppers and other colorful peppers as side ingredients."

"They'll probably be shredded or chopped together and put into the pot to simmer, right?"

"Why doesn't Master Xuanyu seem to have any intention of dealing with them?"

Hisako gazed expectantly at Lu Xuanyu's figure.

She believed that Lu Xuanyu must have his own unique ideas.

It will definitely not be a simple innovation, but a showdown with Shinomiya-senpai.

After Hisako finished speaking, she suddenly realized that the surroundings seemed to have become quiet.

She turned her head and was shocked to find that everyone was staring at Hisako with the same kind of "spectator" gaze.

"Master Xuan Yu?"

"Master Xuan Yu?"

"Master Xuan Yu?"

"..."

The girls exclaimed in unison in shock.

Startled!

Hisako froze on the spot.

shit!

Seeing Lu Xuanyu's focused cooking, she momentarily lost her composure and blurted out a secret she couldn't tell anyone.

What should we do? What can we do now?

The relationship between Lady Erina and Master Genyu seems to have eased considerably after the few days of the training camp.
