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

Soon, Xu Zhou calmed down and continued working on the comic.

When the protagonist of the manga, Soma Yukihira, served this dish, not only his mischievous classmates but also Chappelle were shocked.

To everyone's shock, the protagonist, Soma Yukihira, finally revealed the secret.

"We used honey."

"Honey was rubbed into the meat before stewing."

"I also added some when seasoning."

"Honey?"

When Shapper heard that Soma Yukihira had actually thought of using honey, she finally fell into thought: "Hmm, the honey from our academy is of very high quality, and honey contains proteases, enzymes that can break down proteins..."

"But how did you come up with that idea?"

And at this moment, which was also the highlight of this chapter, Soma Yukihira grinned.

"I once read in a cookbook that pineapple juice can tenderize meat, so I..."

Soma Yukihira, the little red-haired boy, recited what he had read in the book, much to the teachers' delight.

After a series of revelations, Soma Yukihira finally overcame the crisis and achieved the highest score among all participants in the first class! He then arrived at the legendary Polaris Dormitory!

This is also the dormitory he will be moving into!

Xu Zhou stopped drawing when he got to this point.

"almost!"

"There's quite a lot of content here!"

"The trials of joining Polaris House will be left for the second half of episode four..."

A qualified content creator must learn to control the rhythm of their work!

The series of revelations just now not only highlighted the male protagonist, but the pacing and plot were also just right to support the first half of the fourth episode.

The illustrations also have more than ten pages.

That's definitely a large quantity that will fill you up.

Moreover, ever since I improved my speed in chopping vegetables, my speed in drawing comics has also increased, and I managed to produce more than ten pages of content in just one night.

...

the other side.

Jiang Mingzhu received the notification immediately when Xu Zhou's "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" manga was updated.

She lay on the bed wearing a nightgown, her shapely body visible beneath the long silk dress.

She pouted and immediately opened her phone to catch up on the latest chapter.

"I'd like to see what kind of earth-shattering, ghost-weeping method this cartoonist, Xiao Xu, can come up with!"

"I don't believe it. You can't possibly modify a recipe, can you?"

“You’re just a comic artist, not a professional.”

After opening the comic with a sense of anticipation, Jiang Mingzhu's expression gradually froze when she saw the updated content.

Wait a moment.

Honey? Coating beef with honey before stewing? Are you serious?

Chapter 26 Learn to Make Beef Stew in Red Wine (Improved Version)

Jiang Mingzhu initially didn't want to believe it.

However, in Xu Zhou's comics, during the explanation, not only is the male protagonist Yukihira Soma explaining, but a blonde teacher named Shaper is also drawn to explain.

He even explained it in a very serious and logical way.

Having learned from the groundwork laid in the comic, Jiang Mingzhu hesitated.

What if?

Want to try it?

Her phone vibrated; someone from the student group that had participated in the previous food association open class suddenly spoke up.

Are the kitchens at the Culinary Arts Department of Songnan University still open?

It's already past midnight.

When people who didn't know what was going on saw this message, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, that's ridiculous!"

No wonder Songnan University's culinary department ranks among the best in the country; look at how hard they work!

Soon, the message was replied to in the group, with two familiar yet strange words popping up.

【beef?】

As soon as those two words were mentioned, many people felt as if they had found their tribe.

【Yeah! 】

I just called the teacher and got the key to the kitchen. Anyone want to buy honey?

[One look and you know they're all teammates! No wonder we're classmates! We were all thinking the same thing—could we get some beef and honey?]

"Yes, come on over to the third cooking room."

[I'm coming! Coming soon! Wait for me!]

This group's chat content, which resembled an encrypted conversation, piqued the curiosity of some people who hadn't read the comics.

Why are you going to the Third Cooking Room so late at night? If you live in Building 1, isn't the First Cooking Room closer?

[Yeah, why do we have to cross a bridge to get to the kitchen in the next building?]

But when someone couldn't help but ask, all they saw in the group chat was a reply: "The Third Cooking Room! Sounds so cool!"

Huh? Cool, right?

The difference between the Third Cooking Room and the First Cooking Room is just one word.

...

When Xu Zhou finished cooking and eating a bowl of noodles and came back, he casually glanced at the comments section.

In the comments section, many ordinary comic fans left a lot of comments, and some even got into arguments.

[You're doing it again? Don't laugh challenge? I've only ever heard of brushing honey on grilled meat, you're blanching meat with honey? Are you kidding me?]

I've been waiting for this for so long, and you just gave me a huge mess. I'm speechless.

While others eagerly await the plot, I'm different; I look forward to the comments section. It's so satisfying! Today's comments section didn't disappoint!

[Anyone who cooks here, can you tell me if it's appropriate to coat stewed meat with honey?]

Most readers who don't usually cook can't help but have doubts when they see this part of the content.

However, some people couldn't help but speak up for Xu Zhou.

I think that makes sense. My dad owns a barbecue restaurant, and he mixes kiwi with his beef. The beef comes out so tender... I'm not exaggerating. Our restaurant has even been reported by customers; they think we're using some kind of technology.

Now, when Xu Zhou sees these criticisms, he is completely unmoved.

My gaze lingered for a moment on the comment section for the beef marinated in kiwi.

"Kiwi-marinated beef?"

"So it seems there really is such a method... I wonder what beef marinated in kiwi would taste like."

"If the opportunity arises, I might give it a try."

Apart from this one, Xu Zhou remained unmoved by the other negative comments.

Anyway, my comic is going for a dark and popular route; the darker and more popular it is, the more people will read it.

He was extremely satisfied when he saw that less than an hour after the release of the first half of the fourth episode, the number of viewers had already reached 150.

Not bad.

One hundred and fifty people followed the story within an hour.

From then on, no matter what comics I draw, the increase in wish points should be quite high.

And the comic recommendation period is coming soon, so its popularity should be even higher then.

The future is expected!

...

I finished reading the comic book quickly today.

It's not time for bed yet.

Xu Zhou hesitated, thinking that he still had time tonight.

Or, why don't we just go all out and liver-clean the beef today?

Perfect timing, we can start selling beef stew in Burgundy tomorrow and make some money.

I glanced at my bank card balance; I had 800,000 yuan left.

"Last time I spent 120,000 yuan to make beef four times. The last evaluation was barely acceptable. So I should be one step away from reaching grade A."

"A balance of 800,000 is definitely enough to pay the food delivery fee! Time to grind!"

With that in mind, Xu Zhou went straight into the system's training room.

Just like last time.

This time, we entered the [Third Cooking Room] again.

As soon as the door to the third cooking room was opened, a mysterious figure walked in.

He was wearing a white chef's uniform, with a serious and stern face that suggested he rarely smiled.

His expression softened when he looked over: "Temporary trainees, are you here for the assessment?"

"I thought you had given up, but I didn't expect you to come for the test a second time."

"Teacher, I'll start now."

"Let's start cooking."

The blonde special education teacher in front of him saw the determination in Xu Zhou's eyes and felt a hint of admiration in them.

"Keep it up, temporary trainee."

...

Xu Zhou walked to the stove he had used last time, almost as if he knew the way well, and spent a long time picking and choosing.

Originally, I only took the ingredients specified in the recipe, such as beef, onions, mushrooms, carrots, and herbs.

Having cooked this dish several times, I can almost find the ingredients for this recipe with my eyes closed.

"Hmm, as for seasonings, salt, pepper, a bunch of herbs..."

"The vegetables are all here, and the beef... well, the quality is good."

Xu Zhou picked up the beef and saw that it was extremely fresh. He pressed it slightly and found it to be very elastic.

It doesn't smell fishy at all; instead, it has a very refreshing fragrance.

Even I couldn't help but admire it; it truly lived up to its reputation as a dream ingredient—the meat quality was excellent…

How delicious this meat would be if I could eat it!

As Xu Zhou placed the beef on the tray, his peripheral vision suddenly fell on the kiwis in the corner next to him.

"Huh? Wait a minute, is this a kiwi?"

There were only one or two kiwis scattered around, not many in number.

Looking at the green kiwis over there, Xu Zhou suddenly remembered the method of marinating beef with kiwis that was mentioned in the comments section, and picked up the two kiwis as if possessed.

Who cares!

Try it first!
