People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Oh dear~ Mine is a milkshake~"

Bai Yu chuckled at the surprised look on the face of the person holding their drink and said, "Garuda~ When have you ever not wanted to eat something sweet and sour like this? And Feng Shui~ Sit properly, when have you ever come here without a milkshake?"

The two men chuckled without saying a word. It was clear that Bai Yu understood they were happy. Bai Yu walked up to Wu Lei'an, and the two grown men exchanged a glance before asking, "Later or now?"

"That guy's here too?"

"Hmm~ We're almost there~"

"Then let's wait for him to come."

"Hmm~ If you cause trouble, I'll turn you into a milkshake~"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Kobayashi Rindou and the others, who were familiar with this scene, covered their mouths and chuckled. Erina and the other two girls looked at Bai Yu strangely. Did Bai Yu have such a ruthless side besides cooking?

I'm desperately seeking all copies of my new book!!!

They only knew that Bai Yu was very considerate to customers, had excellent cooking skills, and seemed to be very rich, but they really didn't know that Bai Yu also had such a ruthless side.

Wu Lei'an's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. Bai Yu nodded in satisfaction and then turned to walk towards the kitchen. He really had a lot of food to cook today.

Lucifer stared at Bai Yu with shining eyes. She had discovered something different about Bai Yu, and she became even more curious about everything about him. She was eager to study Bai Yu's structure.

But when she thought of the white feathers that looked like works of art, Lucifer blushed. Her skin was very fair, so when she blushed, it was especially noticeable. Cerberus glanced at Lucifer and was about to speak when Lucifer covered his mouth.

Because Wu Lei'an's cooking is very simple and quick, his dishes are also the fastest to be served. Looking at the table full of food, Wu Lei'an swallowed.

Bai Yu placed a bowl of rice meant for six people in front of Wu Lei'an and casually said, "Would you like anything else? I'm in a pretty good mood lately~"

Wu Lei'an was taken aback, as were Xiao Lin Longdan, Garuda, and Feng Shui. Garuda immediately shouted, "Bai Yu! Why didn't you say so earlier that you were in a good mood! I want to add more orders!"

"I also want!"

"And me~"

Wu Lei'an looked at the table full of food in front of him, paused for a moment, then grinned and said, "Then let's add an eight-flavor magical mapo tofu!"

Bai Yu was taken aback. After glancing at the table, he tilted his head and said, "Be careful not to consume too much protein~ Eight-Flavor Magical Mapo Tofu, right~ What's the spiciness level?"

"Hellfire spicy!"

"That's your style~ Just wait~"

Wu Lei'an nodded, picked up his chopsticks, glanced at the food on the table, and then picked up a piece of grilled beef diaphragm. The diaphragm, slightly dripping with oil and with a hint of spiciness, looked incredibly appetizing.

Wu Lei'an grinned, put the meat in his mouth, and then froze, unable to stop eating, like a tireless machine.

Wu Lei'an didn't have any elegant eating manners; he ate very roughly, like a starving person seeing food. But no one found it offensive; they were simply all tempted.

"Hoo~ Ugh! White Feather! White Feather!"

"I heard you, I heard you~ Why are you eating so fast? Nobody's going to take it from you~"

Wu Lei'an was enjoying his meal when he suddenly froze, his face darkening as he called out to Bai Yu while pounding his chest, startling Fei Shazi and the others. But they only realized what had happened when Bai Yu placed the water in front of Wu Lei'an.

"Phew! Your cooking is definitely the best, kid. Otherwise, Grandpa would have come to teach you a lesson long ago!"

Garuda and Wu Fengshui blushed upon hearing this, while Bai Yu rolled his eyes and walked back to the kitchen, as if talking to Wu Lei'an was a waste of time.

Nourishing...

A sound of something being put into a pot rang out, and everyone immediately looked towards the kitchen. Soon, a very fragrant but extremely pungent smell wafted out. Wu Lei'an chewed on a piece of Brazilian barbecue, but his eyes were fixed on the kitchen, like a vicious wolf eyeing its prey.

You know, spicy and sour flavors are the most mouthwatering (although spiciness is actually a sensation of pain), and that's exactly how Wu Lei'an felt at that moment. With the Brazilian barbecue juices mixed with his saliva, the incredibly chewy barbecue brought amazing texture and aroma with every bite. Paired with the constantly mouthwatering Mapo Tofu that was being made, Wu Lei'an felt a bit intoxicated.

"Huh? Why are you all staring at me like that?"

After putting down the Mapo Tofu, Bai Yu was slightly taken aback when he saw everyone staring at him. Wu Lei'an swallowed hard as he looked at the steaming red Mapo Tofu in front of him, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in his mouth under everyone's expectant gaze.

"Ugh! Cough cough cough! That feels good!"

After taking one sip, veins bulged on Wu Lei'an's forehead and neck, his eyes widened, and sweat beaded on his forehead. Wu Fengshui, playing with the straw in one hand and resting his chin on the other, said, "I told you to read more books, and all I got was a 'satisfying' drink~"

Wu Lei'an ignored her and ate his own food. The eight flavors—fresh, lively, tender, crispy, numbing, spicy, hot, and fragrant—combined together, constantly stimulating his taste buds. It felt as exhilarating as riding a surfboard down a sand dune in a scorching, arid desert.

Everyone swallowed hard, especially Erina. She knew Shiraha was amazing, but she didn't expect that this scent would make her so excited.

"Bai Yu!"

Bai Yu didn't speak but sat quietly to the side, reading a book. For a moment, the only sounds in the shop were the sound of Bai Yu turning the pages of the book and Wu Lei'an eating.

Just as Erina was about to faint from hunger (craving), Shiraha put down his book and returned to the kitchen, which invigorated everyone. When Shiraha came out again, he was pushing two food carts, which were full of delicious food.

"Well then, this is for you, Miss Nakiri, and this is for you, Garuda. Cerberus, Lucifer, this is your midnight snack~"

Once everything was served, the entire restaurant was instantly filled with various aromas. Erina, completely lacking any ladylike manners, picked up her utensils and reached for the roasted venison in front of her.

"Hmm! There's no gamey or muttony smell like venison. It's roasted, but why does the meat taste as soft and fluffy as a top-quality soufflé cake? The subtle milky and buttery flavors are a perfect match! They make the sauce even more mellow! What kind of sauce is this? I can't taste anything in it! It's so delicious!"

Erina chatted involuntarily as she ate, but no one listened, as everyone was engrossed in the delicious food. Shiraha sat calmly to the side reading a book, while Lucifer ate his ice cream while watching Shiraha with a slight smile.

Just as Lucifer was engrossed in reading, Bai Yu suddenly put down his book, and Wu Lei'an wiped the snot from his nose, which had been burning from the spiciness, and grinned with slightly swollen lips.

Creak...

The door opened very politely, and everyone was taken aback, including Erina, who was still struggling with her seafood risotto and was almost delirious. She briefly regained her senses and looked at the doorway.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, a tall, robust man in a suit with deadpan eyes and a languid air walked in. Seeing him, Momo Akane, who was happily eating beef stew in burgundy, exclaimed, "Gaoran Unsavardo?!"

Gaolang at the door paused for a moment, nodded, and walked inside. He glanced at Wu Lei'an, then turned to Bai Yu, who was sitting lazily in a chair with his head propped up, and said, "I'm here."

Bai Yu nodded, stood up, stretched, and said, "Since you're here, does that mean the fight is about to start? Find your seats~"

"Okay, this will do."

After finding a table next to Wu Lei'an and sitting down, Gao Lang took off his suit jacket, cracked his neck, and said, "Can we order now?"

"Anytime~"

The two spoke very casually, as if they were eating at a friend's restaurant. Akane Kubo Momo pulled Kobayashi Rindou, who was wiping his sweat and eating his Sichuan set meal.

"What's wrong? Ugh~ It's so spicy~ Bai Yu~ Give me a glass of juice~"

Momoko Akane's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Gentian Cotton! It's Gaolang! The God of War Gaolang!"

Kobayashi Rindou casually replied, "I know, I've been here many times, we all know each other pretty well. Hey! Gaolang!"

"Kobayashi Rindou? What's up?"

"Bai Yu is in a good mood today! You know what I mean!"

"Roar?"

Momoto Akanekubo was dumbfounded. Good heavens, this place was a gathering place for important people?!

I'm desperately seeking all copies of my new book!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Momobami Kirari (Please add to your favorites!!!)

Hisako, seeing Momo's shocked expression, asked in confusion, "Gaoran Unsavado? Who's that? Why are you so surprised, Momo-senpai?"

After confirming the information many times, Momo Akane put down her phone and let out a long sigh, saying, "Gaorang Unsavador, I only learned about him by chance when I watched a match during my study trip to that country. He is known as the God of Battle, Gaorang."

Kobayashi Rindou didn't say anything; she knew all of this. After Erina took a sip of water to calm down, she said to Akanekubo Momo, "Fighting God? A boxer?"

Momoko Akane nodded and then shook her head, looking at Gaolang who was taking orders with a look of awe, and said softly, "It's true that Gaolang is a boxer, but he has combined Muay Thai and boxing. He is invincible in the country and once dominated four boxing teams."

Erina didn't understand what the four groups were, but she did understand one sentence: Gaolang seemed to be invincible throughout the country. If that's the case, then this person is really terrifying.

"You want one of Lei'an's too? You mean replace the steak salad with Massaman curry, right? And you want Mapo Tofu too?"

After thinking for a moment, Gaolang said, "Give me a serving of drunken shrimp... Mexican shrimp, please."

"OK~"

Just as Bai Yu was about to leave, he saw Qian Kubo Momo approaching with a piece of paper, nervously saying, "Ga...Gaoran! I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?" (She's just a fan, not in a romantic sense, more like a fangirl/fanboy.)

Gaolang glanced at Bai Yu, who simply smiled and shook his head. Then Gaolang turned to Kobayashi Rindou, who wiped his mouth and said, "If she wants an autograph, just sign it for her~"

Gaolang sighed, took the paper and pen, signed his name, and handed it to the excited Akane Momo. Shiraha turned and walked back to the kitchen, leaving only the question, "Would you two like some drinks?"

"Okay~"

"Hahaha! Gaolang! I didn't expect you to actually come!"

Gaolang looked at Wu Lei'an, whom he had met at this shop more than a year ago, and sighed, saying, "Since you've accepted the job, you should be employed as well, right?"

At that time, Wu Lei'an was practically ready to kill him, but Bai Yu managed to subdue him. After that, Bai Yu came more often, and they were all combatants. Gradually, Bai Yu became one of Wu Lei'an's few friends.

Wu Lei'an, chewing on a piece of diaphragm, grinned and said, "Of course! It doesn't matter which one it is! I just want to quickly eliminate all my opponents!"

Erina and the others were startled; he was too fierce. Lucifer and Cerberus, on the other hand, calmly ate their ice cream. Bai Yu didn't tell them what kind of ice cream it was, but it was really delicious. Moreover, the scoop for scooping the ice cream was actually a kind of cookie.

Kobayashi Rindou wiped the sweat from the spiciness, took a sip of water, and said, "Raian! You're so noisy! Gaolang may have a poker face, but he's quiet!"

"cut..."

Facial paralysis..

Kobayashi Rindou's words silenced two men, but they didn't dare retaliate, especially since they were old acquaintances. Garuda, meanwhile, ate his Gabonese chicken mamba and laughed, saying, "Hahaha! Raian is so lame!"

"Garuda~ Don't talk while you eat~"

"Oh~ But Rai'an, wait until you can beat Shiraha before you talk about dominating the world~"

Wu Lei'an was furious, but remembering Bai Yu's threat, he held back. Then, looking at Gaolang, who had been watching with a deadpan expression the whole time, he shouted, "What's with that expression! You can't even beat that bastard, okay?! Why are you so calm! Show some guts!"

Hearing this, Momoko Akane, still basking in the joy of having Gaolang's autograph, snapped back to reality. Just as she was about to retort, "Who do you think you are?", she heard Gaolang say, "You definitely can't win. What else can you do but stay calm? There are only a handful of monsters who can defeat Shiraha..."

Wu Lei'an also fell silent, then shouted "Damn it, I'll beat Bai Yu sooner or later" and continued to eat heartily. Qian Kubo Momo stared blankly at Kobayashi Rindou and said, "Hey... Rindou cotton... Just now that super lame guy named Lei'an said that Gaolang couldn't beat Manager Bai Yu, and Gaolang actually admitted it?"

Kobayashi Rindou casually waved his hand and said, "Yeah~ Gaolang and Raian can still put up a fight, but neither of them could beat Shiraha~"

"this...."

"Let me think... Ah! Right, that night when I went back, I had a pair of boxing gloves with me. Those belonged to Bai Yu. He said he was too lazy to carry them, so he just left them there, but I brought them back. It was that day, at the boxing gym, when they were fighting."

Now, not only Momoko Akane, but also Lucifer and Cerberus on the side were dumbfounded. Goodness, we thought you were a restaurant manager, but you are actually one of the best chefs. We thought you were a chef, but you are actually a fighting expert.

Bai Yu quickly brought up Gaolang's dishes, which were simpler to make than Wu Lei'an's, partly due to Gaolang's own eating habits.

While eating, Wu Lei'an called out, "Bai Yu! Has anyone hired you this time?"

Hearing this, everyone perked up their ears. Garuda and the others, along with Kobayashi Rindou, wanted to watch Shiraha's match, while the rest were unaware of what it was.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes... but I don't really want to go, because the matches are sometimes at night, and they're not close to where I am."

"Cough cough cough cough! You're only doing this because of this?!"

"Otherwise what? This is your wine, and to be fair, if Lei An gets drunk and acts crazy, I'll make sure you don't see the sun rise tomorrow morning!"

Good grief, he switched to another threatening phrase. Lucifer and the others covered their mouths and chuckled. Wu Fengshui, however, bit his straw and stared intently at Bai Yu, saying, "Who wants to hire you? Do we know each other?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu sighed and said, "There are two people you both know, and you usually get along quite well... as for the rest, you don't know..."

Upon hearing this, Kobayashi Rindou nearly choked on his water, wiping his mouth as he exclaimed, "It can't be Kirari, can it?!"

Upon hearing this name, Garuda and the other two looked helpless. Bai Yu simply sighed in tacit agreement. Momobami Kirari... well, that woman is complicated...

Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who's the other one? I didn't expect Kirari to hire you on behalf of the family. She's really unpredictable..."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "She hired me on behalf of the private Hyakkaou... The other one, whom you're all familiar with, is that idiot Sonoko..."

"Oh, Sonoko~ It's alright then~ She's fighting with Kirari for someone, she'll get screwed over and be left with nothing~"

Garuda and the others nodded, while Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "I don't plan to participate. We'll talk about it later. By the way, Longdan, what brings you here? Didn't you say you'd be here in a couple of days? What's up?"

Kobayashi Rindou snorted, then stood up and shouted, "Of course there's something! Something big! The Elite Ten will also be participating in a field training program this year. As long as they get the shop's approval, they can get three months to graduate. The requirement is that the shop must be big enough to employ all ten of us!"

Bai Yu nodded, rolled her eyes, and said, "So you're coming here?"

"Of course~ Don't be ungrateful~ I'm giving you a chance to pursue me!"

"Hey...."

"You dare to look down on me?!"

Bai Yu said with a slight headache, "Coming here is no problem, but what are you doing here?"

"Ah... I can wipe the table! And I can make you breakfast!"

"Okay~"
