Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

I couldn't help but feel even angrier.

Some of the bolder ones even whispered, "Quick! Quick! Search! This food-themed anime is so friendly to us culinary students! It's all original recipes!"

"really?"

"Seriously, no exaggeration!"

"Holy crap! I'm going right now!"

I don't know if original recipes are good or not!

However, those in the culinary department simply couldn't stand seeing many food anime creators showing off with a recipe that had been analyzed to death by their teachers in cooking class.

This Food Wars! is simply refreshing and unique!

Jiang Mingzhu's soft, cute face puffed up seriously, her anger rising to the top of her head.

So I actually gave this comic a free ad, and precisely pushed a wave of its target readers to it?

Damn!

...

During the latter half of the open class, many students were looking down at comics.

Originally, there was only a small portion.

But when that small group opened the manga and saw the brand-new recipes they had never seen before, and the comments section where every chapter of Food Wars! could cause a huge uproar, they immediately got hooked.

To know.

Once someone gets engrossed in reading a novel or comic, it's hard to stop.

Open class?

What the hell am I listening to! I'm not listening anymore!

He started watching it with great interest.

After watching all three episodes, I couldn't help but recommend it to the person next to me.

"The [Imitation Grilled Meat Dishes] and [Transformation Egg Rice Bowl] recipes on this Food Wars! are ones I've never seen before!"

"This is absolutely a gourmet masterpiece that cooking enthusiasts will love! Check it out! Go save it!"

"Should we try making this egg-mixed rice dish when we get back? I think this recipe is feasible..."

"I also think that the idea of ​​this meat jelly is amazing, but it must require a lot of control to make it work. The temperature has to be just right."

"It's definitely difficult to achieve that effect, but the idea is absolutely feasible!"

Many people were discussing it enthusiastically.

Jiang Mingzhu, who was giving the open lecture, could only watch helplessly as fewer and fewer people paid attention in the classroom.

Even Li Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the first row, put down her notebook to take notes right under her nose and instead picked up her phone to read comics.

"..."

Seeing the chaotic state of the open class, Jiang Mingzhu could no longer tolerate it with five minutes left before the get out of class ended. With a dark face, she quickly finished delivering the content of the PPT.

That concludes this open class!

"If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Okay, that's all."

I won't reply even if you send it!

Who told you not to pay attention in class!

Jiang Mingzhu stormed off in her high heels.

After leaving, I couldn't resist taking out my phone and using my alternate account to leave a bad review for Food Wars!

The open class has ended.

As Xu Zhou walked out, he took out his phone and glanced at the data.

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma saw a surge of hundreds of new favorites and comments during that last class.

It can be described as precisely targeting specific user groups.

Not bad.

The culinary students are really high-quality; they not only contributed a lot of my favorites and readings, but also a wave of wish points.

The wish value for replicating barbecue dishes went straight to 600.

I'm only 400 short of reaching 1000 and advancing to the next level.

The next level will offer more than ten servings per day; you can buy fifty servings of ingredients.

Xu Zhou was instantly energized, in a great mood, and had a smile on his face.

This open class was really worth it!

...

night.

After finishing his meal, Xu Zhou updated the recipes on his app.

After finishing the update, Xu Zhou put down his phone, opened his comic section, glanced at the comic comment section, and prepared to start working on the first half of the fourth chapter.

And this time, on the other side.

Jiang Mingzhu, whose liver was aching from anger, lay in bed, thinking about what to order for takeout.

I casually searched for the keyword "Burger Beef in Burgundy Red Wine".

As a result, a series of restaurants offering this dish emerged.

There are expensive restaurants and cheap ones, but I've eaten at most of them myself.

But I haven't found one that truly suits my taste.

Jiang Mingzhu frowned and searched through the items with displeasure.

"This one doesn't look very good."

"This restaurant... never mind, I ate there last time, it wasn't good... huh?"

Suddenly, she saw a restaurant's menu on her phone, and one dish stood out prominently: [Burger Beef Stew (Modified Version)]

"An improved version?"

This method in Chapter 25 seems to actually work!

The recipe for "Braised Beef in Burgundy Red Wine (Modified Version)" at [Ichishu Izakaya] also has a note underneath.

[Braised Beef in Burgundy Red Wine (Revised Version): Serving time reduced to within half an hour, enhanced flavor, this is a restaurant-exclusive recipe.]

"Within half an hour!"

"How can this be!"

Jiang Mingzhu could hardly believe her eyes. After studying cooking for so many years, she never knew of any way to shorten the preparation time of this world-class dish to half an hour.

Could he really be some kind of master?

She took another closer look at the store's reviews and star rating, and her expression froze when she saw the store's reviews on both apps.

A few scattered shops.

The ratings on the two apps are 2.5 and 1.9 respectively…

Moreover, this store can also display previous customer ratings.

This old duck soup was completely bland and looked terrible, plus it took so long to cook. The other dishes were also very ordinary, similar to what I could whip up at home. If this is all the food is worth, why would I even bother eating at a restaurant?

I come to this restaurant to eat dishes like the Snow Melting Soup, which the chefs painstakingly prepare, not to eat these random, unappetizing dishes!

[This cooking isn't even as good as mine! I paid to come here for delicious food, but your restaurant has absolutely no unique features! You should change careers as soon as possible!]

After seeing these reviews, Jiang Mingzhu initially wanted to dismissively close the page, but her gaze froze when she saw the recipes that everyone had previously reviewed.

and many more!

Not right.

The menus they reviewed don't seem to match the menu currently displayed in the restaurant.

Previously, the dishes were simple ones like "old duck soup" and "boiled shrimp".

But now the four dishes in the shop have become [Imitation Barbecue], [Oyster Porridge], [Egg Rice], and [Burgundy Beef Stew].

These four dishes…

Jiang Mingzhu gasped and quickly turned on her phone, opening the comic book.

I flipped through the first chapter of the manga and then to the last chapter before I finally confirmed that these four dishes are indeed the four dishes from the Food Wars! manga!

"Did the shop owner create and copy a recipe from a comic book?"

"Could it be that the comic book author actually went and opened a restaurant?"

Jiang Mingzhu's interest instantly surged, and she immediately added the shop to her favorites.

I'll go check it out tomorrow!

She wanted to see what was going on with the red wine braised beef in this shop!

...

Meanwhile, Xu Zhou had already started working on the first half of episode 4 of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma.

The fourth episode contains a lot of content.

After all, originally

"Start the animation!"

When Xu Zhou was drawing the third cooking room in the comic, he felt a little strange.

After all, I've actually been inside that kitchen before...

Now, when I draw, I feel like the dimensional barrier has been broken.

After all, I actually used this stove when I was learning to cook in the afternoon.

The first scene of the fourth chapter of the Food Wars! manga picks up where the third chapter left off.

A crisis has occurred!

In the class taught by blonde teacher Chappelle, blue-haired Megumi Tadokoro looks worriedly at the half-packet of salt that has been deliberately spilled into her pot.

Only half an hour left.

The gentle girl with blue twin tails, Megumi Tadokoro, was extremely anxious, her eyes filled with tears.

"Even if we served a dish that was packed with salt, we would definitely get an E grade!"

They will be eliminated.

And right now.

The ever-optimistic protagonist, Soma Yukihira, brought over a plate of food.

"There are still some materials left!"

Instead of being discouraged, the red-haired protagonist, Soma Yukihira, untied the white bandage from his hands, tied it around his head, and started to burn.

"We are chefs first! Students second!"

"We have to make this dish no matter what!"

Then came the effortless chopping and cooking, resulting in a successfully improved version of the recipe. Within half an hour, the dish was served and placed in front of Chef Chappelle.

When she saw that they had prepared the dish in just half an hour, Chappelle was amazed and gently pressed the stewed beef with her fork.

The beef was so tender that it was juicy.

As Xu Zhou finished drawing this dish, he felt a sense of satisfaction: "If I were to learn how to make this dish, wouldn't it become the signature dish of my restaurant?"

"Even Professor Shapel of Totsuki Academy would rate the protagonist's dish as being above Grade A!"

"I must learn this!"
