Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

As he spoke, Ximen Yan shook the bag in his hand, which he had prepared in advance.

After all, taking things directly out of the food storage space would be too conspicuous!

Did you bring your own eggs and rice?

Erina Nakiri glanced at Simon, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

"No problem, but it must be a dish that uses eggs."

Although this was somewhat against the rules, since the two of them had the courage to stay, she didn't mind changing the rules.

However, the ingredients prepared by Totsuki Academy were all carefully selected.

It's hard to say that the ingredients we bring ourselves can be better than those prepared by Totsuki Academy!

But wasn't this Ximen Yan's own request?

Ximen Yan breathed a sigh of relief; that meant there were no problems.

As for calling the grape spider's egg a chicken egg, well, he'll definitely explain later.

"Thank you."

Ximen Yan smiled and then showed the two ingredients he had brought.

There isn't much difference between natural rice and regular rice.

That is, it is whiter and fuller, and it is not easy to distinguish without careful observation.

So when Ximen Yan took it out, no one noticed anything was wrong.

However, the eggs of the grape spider are somewhat special.

Although it is about the same size as a regular chicken egg, its shell is grayish-white and covered with a lot of black spots, making it somewhat similar to an enlarged quail egg.

Erina Nakiri took a grape spider egg from the bag in front of Simon and examined it carefully.

He looked at Ximen Yan with some uncertainty and asked.

"Is this an egg?"

Ximen Yan looked at Nakiri Erina with a calm expression.

Wild eggs.

At this point, we certainly can't say that these are actually grape spider eggs!

"is it?"

Erina Nakiri stared at Yan Ximen for a while before placing the grape spider egg in the bowl.

She had certainly seen wild eggs before; they were nothing like that.

As for these eggs, they are probably laid by a rather rare chicken! So rare that she had never seen them before.

Thinking about this, Erina Nakiri became curious about what the eggs would taste like.

'Wild eggs?'

Yukihira Soma glanced at the grape spider eggs in front of Simon with some curiosity.

Although there was no evidence, Soma Yukihira felt that Simon was not telling the truth.

……

As a gourmet, Ximen Yan has tasted many delicacies.

However, his cooking skills are only average, since he didn't have time to study cooking before.

However, Ximen Yan didn't care. Although his cooking skills were not high, the ingredients he used were of high quality!

His purpose in coming here was simply to let Erina Nakiri taste the high-quality ingredients he had.

Therefore, the dishes that Ximen Yan prepared were very ordinary, and even those with poor cooking skills could make them well.

While Ximen Yan and Yukihira Soma were busy preparing the meal.

Hisako Niito, meanwhile, was looking through the information of the transfer students taking the exam.

After all, once Ms. Nakiri Erina finishes tasting it, she will need to fill in her evaluation on the two people's information and then submit it.

Hisako Aragaki searched several times but only found information about Soma Yukihira.

As for Ximen Yan, he didn't register, so Hisako Shinto naturally couldn't find any information about him.

"Lady Erina, this person doesn't seem to have registered..."

Hisako Shinto looked at Erina Nakiri with a somewhat bewildered expression.

If they didn't register, then they must have used some means to sneak into the ranks of test takers.

Ximen Yan's behavior left her somewhat at a loss as to how to handle it.

"Didn't you register?"

Erina Nakiri glanced at the busy Simon, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Let him continue. If he can really make a dish that satisfies my palate, then it's fine to hire him even if it's just like that."

"But if his cooking doesn't satisfy me, hmph... Totsuki Academy isn't such a casual place!"

Hisako Shinoto unconditionally supported Erina Nakiri's decision.

Moreover, in her opinion, if Ximen Yan could really make a dish that would satisfy Ms. Nakiri Erina.

It's likely that even the supreme commander, Senzaemon Nakiri, wouldn't mind accepting Simon.

……

Soma Yukihira's dishes are naturally much more complex than those of Nishimoto Yan.

However, Soma Yukihira is quite experienced in cooking.

Therefore, it completely surpassed Ximenyan in speed.

The food was served very quickly.

Erina Nakiri would normally look down on ordinary egg rice.

Fortunately, Soma Yukihira didn't make ordinary egg rice.

That's why Erina Nakiri changed her mind and decided to give it a try.

It must be said that Soma Yukihira's cooking skills may not be very high at present.

However, thanks to his creativity and ability to administer drugs, he gave Erina Nakiri a novel taste, and his God Tongue was satisfied.

However! Perhaps it was because Erina Nakiri had previously looked down on commoner cuisine that Soma Yukihira was somewhat dissatisfied with.

So I couldn't help but make a joke about Erina Nakiri.

As a proud and arrogant young lady, Erina Nakiri was naturally very unhappy! So she gave a false evaluation of 'disgusting'.

This was a huge blow to Soma Yukihira!

Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, favorites, and tips! Your support is the author's motivation!

Chapter 4 High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.

While Erina Nakiri was enjoying the dish that Soma Yukihira had drugged, Yano Nishimon's dish was finally finished.

Boiled egg with white rice!

This dish, well, it's a bit too simple!

Upon seeing the four bowls of rice served by Ximen Yan, along with the cut-up boiled eggs on top, one could see...

Even Soma Yukihira didn't know how to comment on it. Is this even considered a dish?

Clearly, this kind of 'cooking' from Ximen Yan greatly angered Nakiri Erina!

Naturally, I lost the desire to taste it, even though the aroma of the rice was indeed quite enticing.

“High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.”

Ximen Yan said calmly.

"Only such a simple method can bring out the most essential deliciousness of these two high-end ingredients."

As he spoke, Ximen Yan picked up a bowl of rice and began to eat.

"Ah! Delicious! No matter how many times I eat it, it's always so delicious!"

Ximen Yan felt incredibly lucky to be able to eat such delicious food.

"Really? I'll try some too."

Soma Yukihira, somewhat intrigued, picked up a bowl of rice and tasted it.

He immediately showed a shocked expression.

"What kind of rice is this? How can it be so delicious! Even though there are no seasonings added, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes!"

After swallowing the rice, Soma Yukihira turned his attention to the boiled egg.

Ximen Yan just mentioned that these are two high-end ingredients. The rice is already so delicious, so what about the boiled egg?

Soma Yukihira picked up one half of the boiled egg, took a bite, and was instantly captivated by it.

Soon, Soma Yukihira ate half a boiled egg.

"It melts in your mouth, has a rich and mellow flavor, and feels like high-quality pork belly. Even after you swallow it, a strong aroma lingers in your mouth."

"Moreover, this boiled egg gave me the feeling that it was still alive."

"I've never eaten eggs like this before! They're so delicious!"

"This is absolutely a very, very high-quality ingredient!"

Soma Yukihira said loudly and excitedly.

Although his family only runs a small restaurant, Soma Yukihira has seen high-end ingredients before.

After all, his father, Joichiro Yukihira, would sometimes bring back some high-end-looking ingredients from who-knows-where.

But none of them can compare to the rice and eggs he's eating now!

Erina Nakiri, standing nearby, couldn't help but swallow hard as she watched Soma Yukihira's performance.

It doesn't seem as bad as it appears!

"Well! After all, I'm the examiner. If I make a decision without tasting it, I'm sure you'll be dissatisfied."

"So I'll reluctantly give it a try!"

Erina Nakiri gave herself a haughty excuse.

Ximen Yan smiled slightly at this, naturally not saying much like Yukihira Soma.

Erina Nakiri picked up some rice with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth to chew.

As you chew, the delicate aroma of the rice begins to spread in your mouth.

Furthermore, thanks to the God Tongue, Erina Nakiri is able to appreciate the deliciousness of natural rice more deeply.

It's like being in a desert made of rice.

"what……"

Erina Nakiri unconsciously tightened and closed her legs slightly, her face flushed!

She exudes a unique charm.

With slightly trembling hands, I picked up a boiled egg, put it in my mouth, and it melted instantly...

It made her feel as if she were on a cliff, with a gentle breeze blowing, and everything was so natural and beautiful.

"Secretary, why don't you try it too?"

Ximen Yan handed the remaining bowl of rice to Shinoto Hisako.

"it is good!"

Hisako Shinto nodded, but then realized what she was doing and suddenly looked at Yan Ximen.

"What's the term 'Secretary'?"
