The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Ryoko Sakaki looked at the group who were discussing what to do next, took out the accommodation training brochure, and prepared to check the bedtime for the day so she could determine how late they could play.

After taking a look, Ryoko Sakaki looked puzzled.

"Huh? That's strange, there's no bedtime listed here for tonight."

Upon hearing this, the others checked the brochure and, as Ryoko Sakaki had said, there was indeed no bedtime.

Moreover, not only is there no bedtime today, but there are also no plans for the next morning.

"Is this... a printing error?"

Yoshino Yuuki tilted her head, her face full of confusion.

"When this happens, it's most likely that the academy is trying to catch us off guard, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

Jiang Yan looked at everyone and reminded them.

This is just the calm before the storm.

"How could that be! We've been exhausted all day!"

Upon hearing this, Yoshino Yuuki immediately shook her head repeatedly. Although she said she didn't believe it, she already believed it in her heart.

After all, this is a hellish training camp, and it's entirely possible that they'll suddenly assign you a topic or something like that.

"This...this could kill someone..."

"I can't speak," Marui Zenji said weakly.

He's reached his limit!

Jiang Yan took out a bag of dried meat and stuffed it into Marui Zen's hands, while saying encouragingly.

"Marui, you have to believe in your resilience. You can definitely persevere to the end."

"Here, have some jerky to replenish your energy."

Looking at the dried meat in his hand, Marui Zenji was deeply moved.

Speaking of which, the jerky Jiang Yan gave me seems to be quite good; at least after eating it, my condition improved a lot.

..............................

"A topic assigned suddenly? That sounds quite interesting!"

Soma Yukihira said with some excitement.

Takumi, who happened to be walking over, heard this and immediately crossed his arms, looking at Jiang Yan and Yukihira Soma with a determined gaze.

"No matter what the topic is, I will never lose to either of you!"

Jiang Yan glanced at Takumi, too lazy to even offer a perfunctory reply.

At that moment, the hotel's internal loudspeaker suddenly came on, and Dojima Gin's voice came through.

"Attention all students of Totsuki Academy, an urgent notice is hereby issued: Starting from this moment, one hour from now, at 22 PM, all personnel shall assemble in the hotel lobby."

As the broadcast ended, Marui Zenji collapsed completely to the ground.

"The research topic is really coming up unexpectedly... I really can't take it anymore..."

"It's really true! They're not really going to make us cook in the middle of the night, are they?"

Yoshino Yuuki looked devastated.

Despite their reluctance, everyone arrived at the hotel lobby before 22 p.m.

As the clock struck 22 p.m., Dojima Gin walked to the podium at the front of the hall, picked up the microphone, and his voice, transmitted through the speakers, resounded throughout the entire hall.

"Everyone, focus your attention on the podium."

Upon hearing this, the students turned their attention to the podium.

Dojima Gin glanced at the many tired students below the stage and spoke calmly.

"I have gathered you here now to inform you of tomorrow's formal topic."

Upon hearing this, many students couldn't help but panic, but Dojima Gin ignored them and continued speaking.

"The task of this project is to prepare breakfast dishes that match the status and environment of guests staying at the Totsuki Resort."

"Breakfast is the face of a hotel, a key meal that starts a wonderful day for guests."

"I hope everyone can break away from the norm and create dishes that are fresh, delightful, and full of surprises for our guests."

........................

The expressions of the trainees present became serious.

Freshness, surprise, and matching the positioning of the Far Moon Resort—these keywords combined undoubtedly represent extremely high requirements.

At that moment, Dojima Gin picked up an egg and held it in front of him.

"The designated ingredient for this research project is eggs."

"The cooking style is not limited, and any type of egg dish is acceptable, but it must be served in a buffet style."

"The review will officially begin at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Everyone must complete the research, trial production, and preparation of all dishes before then."

"From now until 6:00 AM tomorrow, you are free to use your time as you wish."

"You can go to any kitchen in the resort to conduct trial research and development, or you can choose to return to your room to rest; it's all up to you."

Many trainees turned pale instantly. Go back to your room to sleep? How could that be?

You need to come up with a suitable egg dish before 6 o'clock and also complete a trial run.

This means they will most likely be working through the night, with no time to rest.

"Then, see you at the exam hall tomorrow morning."

"Dismissed."

Dojima Gin put away the microphone and turned to leave.

All that remained were a large number of students in a panicked state in the hall.

However, the students quickly realized that they didn't have time to waste any more.

So everyone rushed toward the resort's communal kitchen.

The others from Polaris Dormitory followed closely behind and headed to the kitchen together.

..............................

Jiang Yan also followed them into the kitchen.

For Jiang Yan, the simplest thing to do was to make the orange-flavored flaky pastry egg tart he made before.

However, this dish requires orange salt, which can be removed, but the taste will be significantly different.

Therefore, Jiang Yan abandoned the idea of ​​making orange-flavored shortcrust pastry molten egg tarts without much consideration.

As for what dish to cook, Jiang Yan already had an idea.

After arriving in the kitchen and trying out the cooking for a bit to make sure everything was okay, Jiang Yan made some preparations and then went back to his room to rest.

At five o'clock the next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn, Jiang Yan finished washing up and arrived at the assessment venue.

He was assigned to venue A. As soon as he arrived at his assigned booth, Jiang Yan saw Takumi at the booth next door.

Upon seeing that Jiang Yan was right next to him, Takumi became excited.

This time, he must defeat Jiang Yan and Yukihira Soma.

Jiang Yan looked at Takumi's excited face and sighed helplessly.

However, Jiang Yan's goal this time was simply to pass the exam smoothly.

Not only Takumi, but also Soma Yukihira, Megumi Tadokoro, and Erina Nakiri were in venue A, just a bit far from him.

Ignoring Takmi, Jiang Yan began rinsing the rice in water.

This time, he's making golden fried rice omelets.

Simple golden fried rice is certainly delicious.

However, making hundreds of servings of golden fried rice is undoubtedly very time-consuming and laborious.

After all, to achieve the perfect golden fried rice, it can only be fried one portion at a time.

Therefore, Jiang Yan decided to make it into the form of an egg roll.

This method preserves the flavor of golden fried rice while offering a fresh visual and gustatory experience, perfectly meeting the requirements of the research project.

Of course, the most important thing is that it saves trouble.

..............................

Jiang Yan took out the broth, which was made by simmering pork bones, beef bones, and chicken bones over low heat for several hours.

The resulting broth, after filtering out impurities, is clear in color and has a fresh, mellow flavor.

I steamed the rice that I made last night again with broth, so that the rice would absorb the rich flavor of the broth.

After the rice cooled down, Jiang Yan began to stir-fry the golden fried rice.

This time, Jiang Yan plans to use a more clever method to stir-fry it.

Take fresh free-range eggs, separate the yolks from the whites, add a little milk and a little salt to the yolks and mix well. Then pour the rice into the egg mixture and stir well.

Heat the pan with cold oil, then pour the rice and egg mixture into the pan and stir-fry quickly, breaking up each grain of rice that is sticking together. Use your wrist to toss the pan with extremely fast and steady force.

Make sure every grain of rice is evenly coated with the golden egg liquid, leaving no white edges.

In no time, a pot of golden fried rice, with its shimmering golden color and enticing aroma of eggs, was ready.

The rice grains are distinct and the aroma is irresistible.

Next, Jiang Yan took out a frying pan, preheated it over low heat, poured in the beaten egg whites, and waited until the edges of the egg mixture were slightly solidified and the center was still a little runny. Then, he took an appropriate amount of golden fried rice and spread it evenly on one side of the egg crepe.

Next, slowly roll up the egg crepe along the edge and fry it over low heat for a while to set the outer skin of the egg roll and ensure even internal temperature. The golden fried rice egg roll is now completely finished.

Remove the finished egg rolls from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Then cut them into twelve bite-sized pieces and arrange them on elegant white plates, four pieces per plate. This makes one serving.

Following this method, one serving of golden fried rice can ultimately produce twelve servings of golden fried rice omelets.

The requirement for passing this project is to supply 200 servings, which means he only needs to fry 17 servings of golden fried rice to pass, making it much more efficient than directly frying the golden fried rice.

..............................

After Jiang Yan had prepared dozens of copies, it was six o'clock in the morning.

The hotel's loudspeaker blared again, and Dojima Gin's voice came through.

"Trainees, are you ready to serve your breakfast?"

"Now, let's announce the eligibility criteria for this project. First, let's introduce the members of the review panel."

At this moment, all the main entrances to the venues opened, and the first to run in were several energetic children, followed closely by their parents.

Dojima Gin also introduced the identities of these people at the right time; they were all suppliers of Totsuki and their families.

After Dojima Gin finished explaining the standards for passing the test.

The review process has officially begun.

All the trainees immediately got to work.

Jiang Yan also neatly arranged the pre-made golden fried rice omelets on the table and then began to wait for the first customer to arrive.

The white egg roll has a smooth and delicate outer layer, while inside it is filled with golden fried rice, creating a striking color contrast.

The aroma of eggs and the savory fragrance of broth intertwine and waft through the air.

The combined visual and olfactory impact quickly attracted the attention of some people.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked up to Jiang Yan's table, looked at Jiang Yan's dishes, and looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"This is... a thick egg roll?"

"No, this is golden fried rice omelet."

Jiang Yan introduced the newcomer.

"Golden Fried Rice Omelet?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then observed it carefully. On the cross-section of the egg roll, one could see grains of golden rice coated with egg liquid.

"Egg rolls filled with fried rice? This is the first time I've ever seen that."

Middle-aged men often find this combination somewhat odd.

This golden fried rice omelet does look very tempting.

........................

After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man picked up a plate of egg rolls, used his chopsticks to pick up an egg roll, and put it in his mouth.

With a gentle bite, the outer shell of the egg is smooth and tender, carrying the unique sweetness of a fresh free-range egg.

The golden fried rice inside is distinct, chewy yet soft, with layers of rice aroma, egg fragrance, and rich broth that explode on the tongue.

The egg crepe and fried rice create a wonderful contrast in texture, with various flavors intertwining and blending together, constantly stimulating his taste buds.

His slightly serious expression gradually relaxed, and his complexion became increasingly rosy.

"Delicious! The aroma of eggs and rice blend perfectly, creating a rich and complex flavor..."

Some of the judges who were already observing couldn't resist stepping forward to taste it.

As these people sampled the food, it immediately attracted even more people.

Hiromi Sena, who serves as the sous chef at the Totsuki Resort, was also drawn to the area.

Then I tried Jiang Yan's Golden Fried Rice Omelet.

"The main ingredients are only eggs and rice... but the rice is steamed again with broth, so the flavor of the broth is fully absorbed into the rice grains, resulting in a rich but not greasy base flavor."

"What's most remarkable is the skill behind this golden fried rice. The egg mixture perfectly coats every grain of rice, leaving no gaps. This requires an extremely high level of skill and is truly rare."

In fact, Hiromi Sena had already figured out that the key to this dish was the golden fried rice.

However, what is required is an egg dish full of surprises.

Although the golden fried rice was delicious, it was still just fried rice. It could be said that the technique was superb, but it wasn't exactly a surprise.

Making it into golden fried rice omelets would actually fit the theme of this event.

After receiving approval from Hiromi Sena, the already bustling restaurant became even more crowded.

The dozens of servings of golden fried rice and egg rolls that had been prepared were quickly consumed, and Jiang Yan had to start getting busy.

..............................

Takmi, standing to the side, looked at Jiang Yan's situation with a very unwilling expression.

His Italian-style salad omelet was also highly praised, and there were many judges at his stall who tasted it, but it paled in comparison to Jiang Yan's.

But apart from speeding up the cooking process, he didn't have any other good ideas.

Time passed by, and when it reached 7:20, Jiang Yan had successfully completed two hundred dishes.

After confirming that two hundred dishes had been prepared, Jiang Yan neatly packed up the kitchen utensils and chose to stop serving.

Since he has already passed the test, doing more will not make much difference to him.

Instead, you might as well take advantage of the time to sample other people's dishes and experience different flavors and creativity.

Jiang Yan walked to Takumi's stall first, ignoring Takumi's slightly unwilling expression, and directly picked up a plate of Italian salad omelet to taste.

The soft and fluffy baked eggs, the crisp seasonal vegetables, and the sweet and sour Italian sauce... refreshing and delicious, Jiang Yan couldn't help but nod slightly.

After leaving Takumi's stall, Jiang Yan went to Tadokoro Megumi's table.

"Jiang Yan?"

Tadokoro Megumi was taken aback when she saw Jiang Yan suddenly appear.

"I'll be your patron."

Jiang Yan smiled, then picked up a bite-sized oden egg dish made by Tadokoro Megumi.

The quail eggs are plump and juicy, the vegetables are fresh and delicious, and the warm and comforting taste makes people feel at ease.

"That's really good food, keep up the good work!"

Jiang Yan looked at Tadokoro Megumi and encouraged her.

Megumi Tadokoro can now be said to have begun her metamorphosis.

He has high expectations for Tadokoro Megumi's future achievements.

"I will..."

Megumi Tadokoro nodded solemnly.
