Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

Meanwhile, the other Totsuki students were also constantly trying out all sorts of flavors.

Unlike Xiang Ji, who tried to push his limits, they were troubled by questions like, "Will my cooking really pass the test?" and "Will it fall short?" They were tormenting themselves with anxiety.

The breakfast quiz tests not only the students' culinary skills, but also their mental fortitude.

If you don't have enough confidence in your cooking skills, even if you decide on your dishes early on, you will still suffer mental torment because of the results.

……

"Huhuhu~"

"It's done~ This is my dish." Momo Akane looked at the dish she had finished with satisfaction.

"Hmm, it looks really good!"

"Momo-chan, would you mind if I tried your cooking?" Xiang Ji suddenly appeared in front of Momo Akane's cooking station and asked as he looked at the dish she had finished.

"Who gave you permission to call me that?" After hearing Xiang Ji's words, Akane Momo glared fiercely at Xiang Ji who had suddenly appeared.

"Eat whatever you want."

"Anyway, I've already decided on my dish, so I'm going back to rest." Momo Akane snorted and then left the kitchen without looking back, clutching the teddy bear in her arms.

"As expected of Akanekubo!"

"It's amazing that they could produce such a dish; the custard, jam, and cream are perfectly combined."

"Despite using such a large amount of cream and jam, it doesn't feel greasy at all. Instead, it retains a rich milky aroma while making the taste so refreshing."

White rum?

"Alcohol is used to soften the richness and greasiness of cream, and a small amount of alcohol will not ruin the original flavor."

"White rum was chosen because of its pure flavor and the citrus aroma that it carries can also melt away the greasiness." Xiang Ji's spice inequality instantly dismantled the structure of Akane Kubo Momo's dish.

Spices Inequality Experience +1.

……

Not only Momoko Akane, but also Eishi Tsukasa and Ryundo Kobayashi, their ideas on cooking also provide Xiang Ji with corresponding experience.

"Tsukasa, aren't you going back to rest now?" Kobayashi Ryudou asked Tsukasa Eishi.

"Hmm, I always feel like my cooking is missing something, it doesn't taste like what I imagined."

“With this kind of taste, it’s impossible to sell two hundred servings and meet tomorrow’s breakfast assessment requirements.” Tsukasa Eishi’s expression looked unusually different.

"Is that so? Then keep up the good work, Tsukasa. I'm going back now." Seeing the expression on Tsukasa Eishi's face, how could Kobayashi Ryudou not know that Tsukasa Eishi's insecure and timid personality had resurfaced?

Starting with tomorrow's topic review, Tsukasa Eishi will definitely not be going back to the dormitory to rest.

"Xiang Ji Jun, what about you?"

"Is your dish still not finished?" After asking Tsukasa Eishi, Kobayashi Ryudou turned to Xiang Ji and asked curiously.

"almost."

"Now all that's left is for the proctors to finalize the ingredients I need for tomorrow," Xiang Ji replied with a smile, looking at Kobayashi Ryudai.

After a long period of trial and error, Xiang Ji finally produced the final recipe for Three-Egg Shumai.

Chapter 115 The Examination Begins, The Tale of the Bloodstained Hero

On the morning of the fourth day, at six o'clock, the breakfast assessment officially began.

D-Venue, Stage 36.

After being disrupted, the students of Totsuki Academy were evenly distributed to different cooking venues according to their numbers.

……

"Oh, not only Nakiri and Ryudou, but also Akanekubo and the others, and Megijima Tousuke and Saito Somei are also in this venue?"

"A head-on clash between the Ten Heroes of the Far Moon Future?"

"I wish I could try their food later." Xiang Ji arrived at his cooking station and slowly scanned the hall.

While observing Megijima Tousuke and the others, Megijima Tousuke and the others were also watching Xiang Ji.

What a coincidence!

"I never expected that we would be drawn to the same venue. Is this some kind of twist of fate?" Saito Muneaki opened his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Xiang Ji's position.

"Xiang Ji Jun?"

"What kind of dishes will you bring to this breakfast assessment?" Fuyusuke Megijima asked, looking at Xiang Ji with equal anticipation.

The food battle performance by Xiang Ji and Si Yingshi on the first night of the accommodation training left an extremely deep impression on Fuyusuke Megijima and the other two.

In particular, the fact that Inui Hinako extended an invitation to Xiang Ji and the others.

Even though Fuyusuke and Megijima don't really care about anything other than cooking, they still can't help but develop a competitive spirit to compete with Xiang Ji.

At that moment, Gin Dojima's voice rang out again on the radio.

"Good morning, everyone. After a night of hard work preparing, the breakfast assessment is now officially beginning."

"Now, welcome our judges for this project, including our food suppliers who cooperate with our Totsuki Resort, as well as staff from the Totsuki Resort's culinary and service departments."

"The guest lecturers for this accommodation workshop also specifically requested to be included in this review."

"What's going on?"

"No way? Senior Gan and the others are judges too?"

"Isn't this outrageous? Why did Mizuhara-senpai and the others suddenly become members of the censors?" Upon hearing Dojima Gin's words, a student immediately shouted in frustration.

The psychological pressure exerted by guest lecturers like Hinako Inui and Fuyumi Mizuhara is far greater than that of food suppliers and their families.

However, as the judges for the breakfast lesson slowly entered the hall, the students of Totsuki realized how arrogant their earlier thoughts had been.

Compared to guest lecturers like Fuyumi Mizuhara and Hinako Inui, the imposing presence emanating from the culinary and service staff at the Totsuki Resort was in no way inferior to that of the guest lecturers.

Similarly, the sense of pressure from the food suppliers, who have a long-term partnership with the Far Moon Resort, was astonishing.

They are all renowned gourmets in the Japanese culinary world; ordinary dishes simply cannot satisfy their palates, which have tasted countless delicacies.

The family members of suppliers and staff who are also inspectors are also a big problem.

Guests of different ages and genders have completely different opinions and requirements regarding food.

The simplest thing is to avoid certain foods.

To complete the pickup of two hundred dishes under such complex circumstances, the universality of the dishes' flavors must be extremely demanding.

"Alright everyone, all the judges for this topic have now entered. Please enjoy your breakfast time."

……

Dojima Gin's voice was like a starting gun; as soon as she finished speaking, the students in all the venues of the resort immediately went into cooking mode as if they were going to war.

"It smells so good, what is this?"

"Maritozzo, Roman cream bread," Momoko Akane began, introducing her dish.

"Roman butter bread? I think it's a classic Italian breakfast dish, right? It's made with flour, eggs, honey, and butter to create a soft bread dough, and then butter is stuffed inside."

Momoko Akane's method for making Roman butter bread was very simple; she was the student who finished the dish the fastest among all the students in the venue.

This has attracted many customers to Momo Akane Kubo, especially the children among the judges.

"But the texture of the butter inside the bread doesn't look like pure butter."

"Please bring me one." The judges standing in front of Momo Akane's cooking station immediately spoke to her.

“Okay.” Momoko Akane handed her bread to the judge.

"Hmm, what is this?"

"Is this not a simple soft bread dough, but a baked puff pastry?" The judge noticed something was off about the texture of the Roman butter bread as soon as he picked it up.

Take a big bite.

Waaah~~

The judges' faces instantly lit up with an expression of pure bliss; Akanekubo's bread was absolutely delicious.

The moment the bread touches your mouth, the aroma of butter and orange peel fills your palate, beneath which lies an incredibly soft and fluffy bread.

The cream filling the gaps between the bread rolls is not plain cream, but a triple-layered, frozen cream.

Only the outermost layer of the bread is butter, while inside the butter is a filling of lemon jam and custard.

The lemon jam's unique lemon aroma permeates the cream, adding a new and distinctive flavor to the cream's subtly intoxicating fragrance.

Taking a bite is like feeling the Roman summer breeze on your tongue.

Paired with a sip of steaming black coffee, it instantly feels like the whole world slows down.

Simple and just right.

……

"Hmm? You're preparing ramen for breakfast?" Hinako Inui appeared in front of Fuyusuke Megijima's cooking station.

Ramen is not considered a traditional breakfast in Japanese cuisine, but rather a unique breakfast option.

"Yes, Senior Qian."

“Just in time, give me one of your ramen.” Hinako Inui said, resting her chin on her hand and looking at Tousuke Megijima.

"Yes, Senior Qian."

Soon, a bowl of Tousuke Megijima's special ramen appeared in front of Hinako Inui.

However, unlike the usual portion size of ramen, the special ramen that Fuyusuke Megijima prepares for breakfast is smaller.

Huhuhu~

After Hinako Inui gathered her long hair up, she began to savor Fuyusuke Megijima's cooking.

The broth, made by simmering pork bones, chicken bones, and dried small fish, is filtered to the extreme, resulting in a clear, golden-yellow color.

Simple soy sauce seasoning.

The soup base has a gentle, clean, and refreshing aroma, without any harsh or heavy feeling.

The most ingenious aspect of the dish, Fuyusuke Megijima, is the use of chilled broth.

Yes, that's right.

The breakfast ramen at Fuyusuke Megijima isn't hot ramen, but rather cold ramen with ice, which is refreshing and makes the already light flavor even more delightful.

Chapter 116 The Bloody Tale of the Shepherd: Are quail eggs considered eggs?

"Huhuhu~"

"It has an incredibly refreshing and addictive flavor, and the specially made cold-process sauce is so delightful that you just can't stop eating it."

"Paired with curly thick noodles that are full of the aroma of eggs."

"That's fantastic."

"As expected of the Megijima family, a renowned ramen-making family in Hokkaido." Hinako Inui looked at Tousuke Megijima, who was busy working in front of her, with admiration.

But the next second, Hinako Inui immediately dropped Fuyusuke Megijima and rushed towards Eishi Tsukasa's cooking station.

……

"What is this? Florentine eggs from French cuisine?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't expect Tsukasa Eishi to choose this dish. It's not a wise choice at all," Hinako Inui muttered to herself after seeing Tsukasa Eishi prepare the dish.

"Does this mean you have absolute confidence in your culinary skills? Do you believe you can attract enough customers during the peak flavor period?"

Eggs Florentine, a classic French breakfast dish, is a variation of Eggs Benedict.

This breakfast dish features a poached egg as its centerpiece, accompanied by homemade Dutch sauce and sautéed spinach, all served on a crispy English muffin.

However, the special nature of Florentine eggs makes them unsuitable for a buffet breakfast.

Poached eggs at room temperature will start to collapse and runny after a maximum of fifteen minutes, and the Dutch sauce will also flow in layers.

Whether it's Chinese cuisine or Western cuisine, the emphasis is on color, aroma, and taste.
