People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Um...it's nothing, it's just that I lost the food battle, so I'm not qualified to follow Erina-sama anymore."

Everyone looked at Erina with strange expressions. Erina, somewhat embarrassed, whispered, "I didn't get along with that Yukihira Soma before, and then Mito went to demolish the research club... that guy stood up for me, and then Mito... uh..."

Everyone looked at Erina with expressions that said, "As expected of you." Erina coughed lightly and said, "Um, Mito, I was too stubborn before... Um, why don't you continue to follow me?"

"Is it really possible?!"

Seeing Mito Ikumi's excited expression, Erina was a little hesitant to meet her gaze. Had she been a bit abnormal in the past? Arrogance was one thing, but extreme behavior was another.

"Of course you can. I'm completely different now than before. You're basically confirmed to be a business partner in the family now. If you're still willing, you can continue to work with me."

"I'd like to! But right now..."

"Oh, then it's up to you. It doesn't matter which club you join. We won't be dismantling the research labs of the research club anymore."

"Um... then, Lady Erina, what should I do?"

Erina paused for a moment, then thought, "What should Ikumi Mito do with me?" After a moment's thought, Erina said seriously, "You can help me carry my things!"

"Oh...ah? Carrying things? What are you carrying?"

"Um... just follow me!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 119 Sachi's Professional Science Explanation, Mito Ikumi Wants to Complain (Please Subscribe~)

After Erina's explanation, Mito Ikumi felt a headache coming on. After all that fuss, she realized that Erina had asked her to help carry her bags when they went shopping. Every time they went shopping and bought a lot of things, she would carry her own bags, and sometimes she just couldn't carry them all and was exhausted.

Mito Ikumi suddenly felt that she should update the version, but something was wrong. How could it have updated without any warning? And it was a complete update, which was really absurd.

Momoko Akane hugged Butch and whispered, "Momoko still remembers that Erina wanted to dismantle Momoko's research club... It seems like Erina dismantling research clubs this year is going too far."

"Um...no...that...I won't tear it down anymore! Sister Xiaotao, please don't talk about it anymore, okay!"

Momoko Akane snorted and said, "Momoko wouldn't forget so easily. However, there's something Momoko is still very curious about. Hisako, you've been helping Erina dismantle and rebuild all this time. Have you become a self-taught architect?"

"Pfft..." xn

Hisako said somewhat awkwardly, "Well... it seems there really is some truth to that, but I think I'm more focused on interior design."

Miyoko Hojo sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen. But judging from this, you probably don't spend much time at school, do you?"

Erina nodded and said, "Of course. There are a lot of things to do at home starting this month. I've stopped going to the food tasting. Alice will be out of school often, whether she inherits the title of one of the Ten Heroes or not."

"I can understand that, after all, you're already engaged, so the wedding date should be very soon."

"It's alright. Graduation season is the year after next, so next year will be a whole year of preparation time. Mito, you can come and help me if anything comes up."

Mito Ikumi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, just contact me if there's anything I can do. Are you still opening a shop at the school festival this year?"

Erina thought for a moment and said, "At first, I planned to open a shop so my husband could see how much I've improved! Especially last year, my husband came to my shop during the school festival, but he didn't get to taste the food! So I'm very determined!"

"Huh? Lady Erina, you were already with Manager Shiraha last year? That can't be..."

"Um... I didn't know my husband last year... But! That's not the point! The point is, if my husband had come last year, I definitely would have met him much sooner! And it wouldn't have been so awkward when I came to the store afterwards..."

"So, Lady Erina, are you still planning to open the shop?"

Erina shook her head and said, "I don't know, we'll see how things go. Opening a shop means being open for several days in a row, so it'll definitely be very busy. I'm still considering it. Even Longdan-nee and the others aren't sure."

"No, I'm sure, I'm very sure. Opening a shop is out of the question. Isn't it better to shop around for days on end? I'm free. I'd rather open a shop. As for Xiao Tao, I'm not sure yet."

Momoko Akane thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but Momoko doesn't really want to open a shop anymore. Rindou is right, opening a shop is tiring. You have to leave early and come back late at night. You're busy every day."

Miyoko Hojo sighed and said, "That's really outrageous. If that's the case, half or even more of the shops of the Elite Ten will be vacant."

"Then it doesn't matter. Anyway, the leader's focus right now isn't the school festival. Obviously, whether it's WGO or HUB, there are a lot of things going on. Whether the Elite Ten participate in this school festival or not is not important."

Mito Ikumi sighed and said, "I guessed it when my father asked me to ask about this. But I hope the family can really reach an agreement. That way, the international market will expand rapidly."

"You have a good business sense."

"Of course. They taught me when I was a child that A5 grade beef is the best beef in my mind, and one of the best in the world. Our meat has been on the international stage for a long time, but we haven't really gone to many places. If we had WGO, that would be the best."

Tsunade asked with some curiosity, "What does A5 grade beef look like? Is it very good? I see even An is surprised."

Sachi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Absolutely, and it can be said to be the best beef in the world. There are many beef grades in the world, the most widespread of which are British, American and Australian. Among them, due to environmental issues, Australian lamb and beef are of very high quality."

"The quality is even higher than that of British and American beef. However, even the top grade of Australian beef cannot reach the level of A5. It is truly the best beef. The distribution of fat in marbled beef is just too beautiful. No matter how you cook it, the taste is superior."

"so smart?"

Sachi thought for a moment, quickly searched on her phone, put it on the table, and said, "Look, this is the American grade, this is the Australian grade, and this is the Japanese grade. See? Australian beef, M4 is already the top grade there."

"But up to M7, it's all A4 level. Only M8 and the best M9 can reach A5 level, but even then, it's only the lower-middle of A5. It can't reach any higher. It's a level that completely dominates. Look at the comparison: this is US Prime beef, this is M9 beef, and this is the top-grade beef in A5."

"Although it is divided into M9+ to M12, it still does not exceed this range. Look at the fat distribution for yourselves. Think about it. How could beef like this not taste good? Even if you just sprinkle it with salt and pepper and eat it raw, it would be delicious."

Looking at the pictures in front of them, everyone nodded in understanding, as if they had learned something. Indeed, the snowflake pattern looked incredibly delicious. Putting aside other cooking methods, just using it for grilling meat would make the fat taste even better than just fragrant.

Mito Ikumi nodded and said, "That's true, but you can't eat too much, or you'll get tired of it. But it is indeed top-notch ingredients, so thinking about that gives me some confidence. Ah... it smells so good. As expected of Chinese food, it has such an aggressive aroma."

Chapter 120 The group wanting to buy cheongsams, Beelzebub's equipment (Please subscribe~)

Amidst the enticing aroma, Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko's dishes were finally served, with hot oil poured over them as a familiar finishing touch. The sizzling sound was a delight to everyone, and even Lucifer and the others couldn't resist the effect.

Mito Ikumi swallowed hard and said, "It looks so delicious. Manager Shiraha's dishes are definitely different. They look so appetizing."

Miyoko Hojo nodded and said, "That's right, that's why I think Kuga-senpai doesn't understand Chinese food at all. Look, this is Sichuan cuisine, but the other two aren't, but they're still very good."

"So that's why you didn't join his research club?"

"It's not just for that reason. I have a more stable mindset now, Manager Shiraha. I have a question for you."

"Are you asking how you should improve today's dish?"

"Yes, I understand the problem, but I can't think of a good solution. I feel like it should be fine, but..."

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, your idea is not wrong, but you are too eager to experience the characteristics of Chinese cuisine, so there are some deviations. What you should do is use stronger spices and more light fragrance."

"Fragrance?"

"Don't you think your stir-fried chicken would be better with more lemongrass and lemon leaves?"

Miyoko Hojo blinked and then nodded in realization, saying, "Oh right, I also felt that what I made didn't look like curry, but if I added spices halfway through, it would definitely fall apart. I haven't figured out how to adjust it to maintain my own characteristics yet."

"So, you've gone from one misconception to another. No cuisine is perfect; there's always something that one cuisine can't do. It's fine to specialize in one cuisine, but when another cuisine has an advantage, you should also acknowledge the other cuisines."

"Inclusivity, humility, reflection, inspiration, sincerity—culinary skills can be honed, and so can the attitude of a chef."

Hojo Miyoko nodded, and Shiraha smiled and said, "Enjoy your meal."

After saying that, she returned to her seat. Mito Ikumi said with some emotion, "Manager Shiraha doesn't seem like someone who can't teach students at all."

"Let's forget about it. It doesn't really fit the way Shopkeeper Baiyu relaxes during his free time. Besides, who can really keep Shopkeeper Baiyu here? Let's eat instead. Lion's head meatballs. I haven't had them in a long time. This one looks really top-notch."

"Lion's head, is that what looks like a meatball?"

"Yes, this is a famous dish, but I still prefer the braised version. The crab roe version is also very delicious, but the flavor is too plain."

Mito Ikumi nodded. In some ways, the two girls were quite similar. They were both proud and persistent, and their styles were both those of strong women. As the saying goes, women can form friendships incredibly quickly, let alone young girls who haven't experienced much of the world. The two of them quickly became familiar with each other.

Moreover, these two girls have another thing in common... they both have good appetites. After three dishes, in the end, only some side dishes and soup were left.

Whether it's the spicy and savory boiled pork slices, each piece tender and juicy with tempting red oil, the savory and tender lion's head meatballs, or the hot and slightly sweet dry-pot cauliflower, specially chosen to accompany rice, each dish screams "appetizer."

Lucifer and the others usually fight over food when they eat, let alone these two girls. They chat while eating and have become quite familiar with Lucifer and the others. Eating and chatting together always makes the meal more enjoyable.

"So, Lucy, you haven't gone to buy a cheongsam yet? I've already ordered my winter ones."

"I was on vacation before, I didn't have time."

"Oh... Lucy, do you still need it? I need to pick up some clothes in the next few days."

"Go away! Tell me when you go to get the clothes. I've never worn a cheongsam before. Is it really suitable?"

Miyoko Hojo nodded and said, "It's suitable. What's wrong with it? Girls with good figures and pretty faces really look elegant in cheongsams."

"That's good... Meiling also likes cheongsams, and Yuko has worn one too..."

Yuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "I have worn them, but if you want to order them, I'll go too! I'm busy making other clothes lately, so I'll leave the cheongsams to other shops. I prefer simple cheongsams, so I don't have to be too particular."

"And also, I think Miyoko's cheongsam is very well made, so I can rest assured. Therefore, I should go too. But I think it's better not to send everyone, just send a few representatives..."

"I think it's okay. Let's not send too many people. Let me see... Five people are enough. Me, Yuko, and three more. You guys don't need to go, Yuko. There's no need to make a special trip for this. Let's each order two. After all, you can't wear them every day, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Kobayashi Rindou thought for a moment and said, "In a few days, the quarterfinals might be coming up. We won't be able to go. If Haimeng and the others have time off, they'll definitely want to go watch the matches. So it'll be up to you guys to go. Remember to bring Esdeath and the others with you."

"I definitely won't forget this. I'll send a message in the group later and let Esdeath and the others come up with two styles they want. Let's finalize it now, and then bring three more people."

Beelzebub laughed and said, "I'll go, I'll go! This is strategic equipment, I have to choose it myself."

"Strategic equipment?"

"I haven't successfully completed both ends yet, so I definitely need to find more equipment for myself."

Everyone rolled their eyes. Beelzebub could tell that she really liked Bai Yu and was very interested in her, but what she meant by "mutual attraction" was something only she herself could answer.

Tsunade nodded and said, "Then I'll go too. 1.5. I'll definitely order my clothes in advance. Who's next? Albedo?"

"Me? Forget about me, Managi dragged me into managing personnel, it's been really troublesome lately, Grayfia?"

"Me? I don't really care, but when it comes to cheongsams, we should find someone who understands this kind of traditional clothing better."

"Hmm...or perhaps I..."

Before Ali could finish speaking, Qingxingdeng put down the horror story in her hand and said, "Hey, Ali, aren't you learning dance lately? And you're also busy working out and doing yoga, so you shouldn't go."

"Well, but when it comes to cheongsams, I always think of those two sisters, Tornado and the others."

"That's right..."

Chapter 121 Miyoko Hojo's Unrequited Love: Mito Ikumi Has Stumbled Upon a Treasure (Please Subscribe~)

The candidate has been decided, but then I thought of those two sisters who have a tragic past with my family. You know, Tatsumaki has developed a phobia of Yuno Gasai.

"So, does that mean this is the family's uniform? It's rare to have a set of clothes that's not formal attire. Let's take a family photo then."

"That's good!"

Nami said with a smile, "Nojiko, Gion-nee, you two should order some too. Gion-nee, your figure would definitely look great in a cheongsam."

"A cheongsam? I do have one... but not one that fits my height. I might really consider it."

"It's absolutely perfect, but why isn't Tina here yet? Could she have run into some trouble?"

"Probably not. Not many lunatics would dare attack the Navy, and Tina is capable of protecting herself. At worst, she can seek help from Borsalino; that guy is very fast. It'll be fine."

Nami nodded and didn't say anything. It wasn't particularly late, not even 10 p.m. Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko chatted for a while longer before they also felt it was getting late and decided to go back.

"Are you two okay? Why don't you take a taxi back?"

Mito Yumi shook her head and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I had my family send a driver over and asked them to wait at the street corner around nine o'clock. It's fine, Manager Shiraha, Sister Lucy, we'll be going now."

"Okay, when you get there, send a message to Hisako and tell her to come earlier next time."

"Okay!" x2

Mito Ikumi was also shocked by the prices of Shiraha's dishes. Just kidding, if you calculate it this way, a whole piece of A5 grade beef, if converted into money, could be used to eat a different dish every day at Shiraha's restaurant for a year, and that's two or three dishes every day, and you'd probably still need those at the end of the year.

Mito Ikumi fell in love immediately. Lucifer and the others were all very nice, and there were many topics to talk about. The food was high-class and tasted superb. The price was practically free for a rich young lady like her. In addition, she could see Erina often and get to know the higher-ups of WGO.

The shop is quiet and clean, and Manager Bai Yu is handsome and considerate... no, Manager Bai Yu has no flaws, he's an exceptionally outstanding man, and I can even learn cooking here, it's a steal! I'll be coming here to eat often from now on, I won't go to any other restaurants anymore, Bai Yu can cook everything, why would I need to go to other restaurants?

Despite the dark street, Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko weren't afraid and continued walking and chatting. Mito Ikumi sighed and said, "What kind of people would walk into a street like this?"

"Didn't you see them? Aren't Yuuko and the others?"

"Hmm? That's true... But, Manager Shiraha's cooking is really delicious, and he's also so considerate in private. He's so young, but he can do all that. It's really admirable."

Miyoko Hojo nodded and said, "Indeed, Manager Shiraha is completely different from those men. No wonder such outstanding women like Lucie like him are attracted to him, and they are all husband-obsessed in their later years!"

"I don't really know what dating is like, but dating Manager Shiraha, especially with marriage in mind, must be very reassuring."
