Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 52: Soup dishes

For Nakiri Erina’s change, Arato Hisako felt a little weird at first, and some couldn’t believe it.

But after a few days of observation, she found that it was Tong Yu who made some changes in Erina.

This change, in Hisako’s eyes, is a good thing.

After all, Erina had a lot of shadows in her heart because of her father’s affairs when she was very young…

When the time came to 2 o’clock, Kukuchi Yuanguo stood up on time and said to everyone in the cooking classroom, “Then… that, let’s start the assessment now.”

Compared with the strength of Shinomiya Kojiro, Tsunozaki Taki and others, the graduate Nakagi Kichienko is much weaker, which can be seen from her expression and tone of voice.

She and Tsunozaki Taki are both known as “a monster who can compete with professional star chefs despite being young”. There is not much problem in cooking, but in terms of mood, she is much worse than Tsunozaki Taki.

To say it is a state of mind, it is better to say that it is a lack of experience as a chef and a lecturer, coupled with the problem of his own personality, and even the following group of students are questioning, is this a graduate of Tōtsuki?

Just as Tong Yu stared at Kikuchienko and pondered, he heard Arato Hisako’s voice.

“satyr.”

“What?”

Tong Yu froze for a moment and turned his head to see Arato Hisako staring at him with extreme contempt.

“Hey, hey, it’s too much. I was thinking about life just now, but I didn’t stare at Yuan Guo-senpai…”

“Also said it’s not a satyr, I admit it!”

Tong Yu said simply and directly: “A slender lady, a gentleman is a good man.”

In the voice of Arato Hisako, Kikuchi Yuanguo said again: “Well… the theme of this assessment is ‘soup’, and it is still in the form of a team of two. The time is 2 hours, and it was completed ahead of schedule. The group can bring it up for me to taste.”

Mujiujiyuanguo announced the theme of this round of assessment.

Soup, in a broad sense, refers to a liquid in which a large amount of water and various cooked vegetables, meats, and some other condiments are simmered for a long time, so that the taste leaks and is mixed with water.

Divided according to national borders, soup is divided into Western soup dishes, Chinese soup dishes, Japanese soup dishes and so on, just like other dishes.

Different types of soup dishes have different tastes and textures.

Especially in set meals, soup has an irreplaceable role.

In Western-style set meals, soup dishes are usually served after the appetizers and before the main dishes.

But in Chinese set menus, soup is often served as the first course.

There are no restrictions on the dishes in this assessment, so any type of soup is acceptable.

Thinking of this, Tong Yu asked Arato Hisako beside him, “Arato, what type of soup are you going to make?”

“I don’t know, aren’t you a master of Chinese cuisine? It’s up to you to decide what to do. I’ll help you.” Arato Hisako said to Tong Yu.

The meaning is obvious, this round of assessment Tong YuC position, she assists.

“Okay, then it’s up to me to decide the recipe. Go to the ingredients library to see what ingredients are available.”

Just as Tong Yu finished speaking, Kikuchi Yuanguo, who was above the podium, said again: “Then…that, there is one more thing I forgot to explain. Due to the assessment this morning, there are not many ingredients left in the ingredients warehouse of Tōtsuki Resort. In addition, the assessment in the afternoon is conducted in multiple cooking classrooms at the same time, so if you go late, you may not have any ingredients you can use…”

After saying this, most of the students in the cooking classroom were dumbfounded. Shouldn’t this kind of thing have been said earlier.

At this time, everyone could also see outside the classroom corridor, and there were already many students from other cooking classrooms rushing towards the ingredients warehouse.

Seeing this scene, everyone dared to stay, and they rushed out of the classroom.

Tong Yu was a little speechless to Kikuchiyuanguo, and he also wondered if Tōtsuki Resort deliberately created this situation in order to increase the elimination rate.

It is very rare to have a shortage of ingredients, let alone a Tōtsuki resort that is not short of money.

“What are you still doing, go get the ingredients first.” Arato Hisako urged Tong Yu to see that Tong Yu was still standing still.

Tong Yu didn’t dare to neglect, no matter how strong the cooking ingredients were, if he couldn’t get the ingredients, he would be without rice.

The assessment time of the major cooking classrooms is carried out simultaneously. Due to the special situation of shortage of ingredients, it is not only the students of the cooking classroom Tong Yu who are pouring into the ingredients warehouse.

When Tong Yu came to the food warehouse, he also met a lot of acquaintances.

Everyone from Polar Star Dorm, Hōjō Miyoko, and even the little Tsundere Nakiri Erina met.

Nakiri Erina was surprised when she saw Tong Yu and Arato Hisako together.

“Hisako, you…how are you with him?”

“Lord Erina, listen to my explanation, I… I have no choice but to form a partner with him.”

Arato Hisako hurriedly explained that he was worried that Nakiri Erina had misunderstood something.

However, Tong Yu felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and said, “Hey hey hey, what is a last resort? I didn’t force you.”

Nakiri Erina also recovered after a moment of surprise, and her face changed to a cold look.

“Forget it, there’s nothing wrong with you being in a group with him, his cooking skills are not bad…”

After saying this, Nakiri Erina walked towards the depths of the ingredients store.

“Nakiri what did she just say, did I hear it wrong?”

“You heard that right, Lord Erina is complimenting you.”

Tong Yu couldn’t believe that little Tsundere, who bluntly asked her to drop out of school a while ago, praised him in front of the little secretary today.

Although it’s just a sentence “not bad”, it also expresses her recognition of Tong Yu.

Is this really little Tsundere Nakiri Erina?

“Okay, don’t waste any more time, you really won’t get anything if you don’t go in and choose the ingredients!” Arato Hisako urged Tong Yu again.

Tong Yu and Arato Hisako walked towards the ingredients warehouse, and along the way, they found that many students were scrambling to hold ingredients.

The meat-producing areas are the most likely to be “patronized”, because whether it is for soup dishes or other dishes, this meat is always the ingredient that goes with everything.

“The meat ingredients have been robbed, what should I do?” Arato Hisako frowned.

Whether it’s pork or beef, they’ve all been taken out.

Although meat is not necessary to make soup dishes, the dishes that can be made without this ingredient are very limited.

Tong Yu’s mind was also racing, thinking about the soup dishes that he could make.
