The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

After leaving Megumi Tadokoro's restaurant, Jiang Yan arrived at Soma Yukihira's stall.

Soma Yukihira's soufflé omelet is fluffy and cloud-like, with a light and airy texture, and a sweet and delicate egg flavor. It is a very delicious dish.

However, its shortcomings are also very obvious—the best time to enjoy it is very short. Once left for a while, the fluffy egg will quickly collapse and become soft and unappetizing.

At this moment, Soma Yukihira had clearly realized the problem and was thinking of a solution.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan didn't say anything more and left directly after finishing his meal.

A moment later, Jiang Yan arrived at the booth of Erina Nakiri, which was the most eye-catching in Hall A.

Erina Nakiri's Eggs Benedict are so exquisite they're like works of art.

The Dutch egg is perfectly cooked, and with a gentle poke, the golden yolk slowly flows out.

The dish is complemented by the refreshing tangy and sour flavor of the sweet and sour sauce, the savory aroma of the crispy fried bacon, the slightly sweet and fluffy pancake at the bottom, and finally the salty and fresh mullet roe, giving the overall flavor a greater depth and complexity.

The moment it touches your mouth, it feels as if your taste buds are melting from this exquisite flavor.

Furthermore, Jiang Yan was completely unable to discern any shortcomings in the dish.

Erina Nakiri watched as Jiang Yan leisurely finished her meal and then turned around to appreciate other people's work, her face instantly filled with black lines.

Although Jiang Yan was previously announced as qualified, isn't it too lax to wander around and sample other people's dishes after passing the test?

Besides, Jiang Yan shouldn't be considered a judge, right?

In fact, the monitoring team had noticed Jiang Yan's behavior a long time ago.

And informed Dojima Gin.

However, this project did not have a rule prohibiting students from tasting each other's dishes.

In addition, Jiang Yan only tasted one serving at each stall and was extremely picky, so it had virtually no impact on the final result.

It's true that some students managed to gather two hundred dishes because of Jiang Yan, but that's not a big deal.

After all, the student had to reach 199 copies before that.

Therefore, after considering it for a moment, Dojima Gin chose to ignore it.

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

The two-hour review session flew by.

Then Dojima Gin's voice rang out again, informing everyone that the next task would officially begin in four hours.

With only four hours of rest, the trainees who successfully passed the test hurriedly dragged their tired bodies back to their rooms to catch up on sleep during this precious break, and the people in the Polaris Dormitory were no exception.

Time flies, and the residential training program, which has been fraught with rigorous challenges, has finally come to an end.

On the last night of the residential training program, all the surviving trainees were once again gathered in the hotel lobby.

Thinking about the topic for the third day, many trainees became uneasy, fearing that they would have to do it again.

In this tense atmosphere, Dojima Gin stepped out.

Seeing the tired expressions on the faces of the many trainees, Dojima Gin picked up the microphone.

"Alright, is everyone here?"

"Before we get to the main topic, I have a few words I'd like to say to you all."

After a pause, Dojima Gin released a set of truly realistic data about ice.

"As of now, 352 students have been eliminated from this residential training program, leaving 629 students remaining."

This number shocked many of the trainees present. Although they knew that some people had been eliminated, they did not expect that it had exceeded one-third.

"This may seem incredibly cruel, but you must remember that this training is just a microcosm of the real culinary world."

"When in an unknown situation, always remain calm."

"If one day in the future you become a head chef, the pressure you feel will be hundreds or thousands of times greater than it is now."

"You have to endure countless restless nights, deal with all sorts of unexpected situations, and keep fighting on the battlefield of cooking."

"..."

Dojima Gin's words perfectly captured the hardships of the culinary path, prompting all the students present to reflect deeply.

"I hope you will always remember that on this land of Far Moon, there were companions who left their footprints together in the wilderness."

"..."

"I wish you all continued success in your military endeavors."

The trainees straightened their backs and their eyes regained their light.

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

"Now, let's move on to the final part of this residential training program—"

At this point, Dojima Gin paused deliberately.

At the same time, the banquet hall doors, which are connected to the main hall, slowly opened to both sides.

Warm, soft yellow light poured out instantly, accompanied by gentle, elegant music, immediately attracting the attention of all the students.

The staff of the Far Moon Resort stood neatly on both sides with gentle smiles on their faces.

This sudden scene left many trainees completely bewildered and confused.

Just as everyone was bewildered, Dojima Gin, who had been looking serious, suddenly broke into a hearty smile.

"The final segment is a small, exclusive celebration banquet to congratulate everyone on successfully completing this residential training program!"

"Next, you will enjoy a sumptuous feast prepared by the alumni of Totsuki Academy."

"Congratulations to the 629 participants who remained here! You have successfully completed all the modules of this residential training program!"

"Let go of all your fatigue and fully enjoy this feast that belongs to you!"

Many trainees stood there stunned for several seconds before bursting into deafening cheers!

The fatigue and stress of the past few days vanished completely at this moment...

"Great! We passed!"

"It's a banquet! A celebration banquet! I thought it was going to be another surprise assignment!"

"It's so great that we made it to the end!"

"..."

The entire hall instantly transformed into a sea of ​​joy, with many trainees beaming with radiant smiles of relief at surviving a close call.

Jiang Yan looked at the restaurant, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

He had been looking forward to this banquet from the very beginning.

For this banquet, alumni of Totsuki Academy brought out their best skills and prepared their most delicious dishes, each one meticulously crafted.

After all, they didn't want their younger schoolmates to feel that they were not as good as others.

Vibrant colors of French baked goods, exquisitely presented Japanese kaiseki cuisine, fragrant Italian stews, and flavorful Western desserts...

Even Jiang Yan was now completely absorbed in the delicious food.

With every bite, you can feel the graduates' superb culinary skills and the heart they poured into the dishes.

The delicious flavors that struck right to the soul made Jiang Yan feel as if he had entered a dream world constructed by food.

At the same time, Jiang Yan's culinary cells became exceptionally active, each cell cheering and rejoicing, fully enjoying this feast for the senses.

However, even the most beautiful times eventually come to an end.

The banquet ended amidst laughter and joy, and the participants, feeling satisfied, returned to their rooms and drifted off to sleep peacefully.

That night, everyone slept exceptionally well.
