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

Zhang Wanqiu was stunned.

Look up.

It was Xu Zhou who said this.

...

Xu Zhou walked over to prepare the stove so he could continue selling fried steaks for the day.

Seeing Zhang Wanqiu staring at him with red eyes, he inexplicably got goosebumps.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I got goosebumps from his gaze and couldn't help but try to interrupt him.

"Would you like to buy a second fried steak?"

"Today... I can make an exception and let you buy a second one."

Treating you to a meal is out of the question.

"purchase!"

Zhang Wanqiu wanted to burst into tears and couldn't help but wipe away his tears, but he still held back and queued up to buy a second steak.

When he bought his second serving of fried steak, he felt the worried look in his teammate Li Sen's eyes. He silently took a bite of the steak and then couldn't help but feel sad again.

The steak tasted unbelievably perfect, especially considering he'd tried frying it himself more than ten times and still couldn't achieve the same result…

Take one bite.

I can increasingly appreciate the quality of Xu Zhou's fried steak.

"This is fucking delicious!"

Xu Zhou: "..."

This kid is crazy!

...

Xu Zhou's mind was completely focused on his fried steak.

He skillfully prepared each portion of sauce and handed it over.

The fast service of fried steaks, taking only a dozen seconds, meant that a room full of diners received their hot fried steak sets in just over ten minutes.

"good to eat!"

"Boss Xu's fried steak is amazing!"

"Hey? Where did that little genius go?"

After being informed, many diners realized that Zhang Wanqiu, who wanted to compete with Xu Zhou, was actually a child prodigy.

This understanding gave them a deeper appreciation of Xu Zhou's strength.

When things quieted down, Xu Zhou and the other diners inside were startled to hear a loud wail coming from the doorway.

"I lost so badly!"

"His cooking is so delicious!"

"Is Xu Zhou even human?! How can he make something so delicious?!"

Xu Zhou, who heard everything clearly from inside the door: "..."

Why are you crying like this?

...

Li Sen couldn't help but offer quiet words of comfort.

"Team leader, maybe the difference is just because of the difference in ingredients, that's why the difference seems so big?"

But the next second he was criticized.

Is it due to differences in ingredients?

"That's a skill gap; I'm bad at it."

After saying those words, Zhang Wanqiu's mood strangely calmed down.

After stopping seeing myself as a genius and acknowledging the gap, I felt calmer.

"So what if I'm bad at the game!"

"Food can improve too!"

After saying that, he immediately scurried over to Xu Zhou.

"Mr. Xu, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"..."

Looking at Zhang Wanqiu's sincere eyes, Xu Zhou had a feeling that he was up to no good.

"No."

"..."

Zhang Wanqiu said eagerly, "Master, you haven't heard my story yet."

"That's not OK."

"I want to see you fry my steak once."

Zhang Wanqiu paused for a moment, then said without hesitation, "I can work odd jobs at your shop for a month! I just want to try it!"

"Do you want a salary?" Xu Zhou asked hesitantly.

"I don't want a salary!"

Zhang Wanqiu pulled Li Sen over: "I'll bring one more!"

"Really?"

“It’s packaged!”

"Row."

Xu Zhou figured the shop was going to hire someone anyway, so frying a steak for him to see wouldn't hurt.

not to mention…

Cooking skills are something you can't learn just by watching.

As for my current skill level in frying steak...

As one's skill level increases, one's perception of frying steak, oil temperature, and various other details becomes stronger.

This also leads to.

Even if you learn your own recipes, you can't learn them without this level of detail and control.

Just like Li Sen before, it's easy to draw the skin of a tiger but difficult to draw its bones.

but.

With so many cooking methods and ingredients in the world, I should learn a few more imaginative recipes.

...

Zhang Wanqiu was so happy when he heard that he had agreed to the request that he almost jumped for joy.

"Great!"

"I promise I won't go back on my word."

Xu Zhou suddenly thought, "What if you have to go to class?"

"Attend class?"

Zhang Wanqiu declared confidently, "Summer vacation is almost here! I've already finished my final assignments!"

Xu Zhou then realized that it was already June 5th.

After this exchange with Songnan University, Songbei University is also approaching its holiday.

“Okay, but…”

Why do you insist on watching me fry the ingredients you brought?

Xu Zhou was somewhat curious.

Xu Zhou originally thought that Zhang Wanqiu wanted to learn some skills and see if he could learn anything.

Unexpectedly...

The answer I heard surprised me.

"Oh."

"I just want to see how bad I really am."

Zhang Wanqiu had already adjusted his mood and straightened his back: "They used to call me a genius, but after seeing how bad the students at Songnan University are, I've lost my enthusiasm for cooking."

But now, pride has been shattered.

After admitting that he was not a genius.

Suddenly, I felt like I had rediscovered the joy of cooking.

There's a towering mountain to chase ahead, making you want to surpass it.

Those around Zhang Wanqiu couldn't help but sigh in admiration as they watched him regain his energy so quickly.

They're so young!

They adjust very quickly.

Upon hearing this reason, Xu Zhou had no excuse to refuse and nodded.

"it is good."

"Give me the ingredients."

"for you!"

Zhang Wanqiu eagerly handed over the steak he had bought.

...

When I took the steak, I touched it.

Ok?

Not right.

Look down.

"..."

Xu Zhou's face darkened.

Isn't this steak a composite steak made from minced meat?

So you were just trying to PK with me using this?

The steak I have is of very poor quality.

Even without labels.

You can feel the cheapness when you touch it.

...

Xu Zhou remained silent.

Turning my head to look over, I could no longer bear it.

"You just used a steak that cost ten yuan a piece from the supermarket?"

"A master! How did you know?" Zhang Wanqiu asked in astonishment.
