People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"It's all kitchens?!" x4

Momoko Akane said softly, "It's not just that. There are many kitchens in Totsuki Academy, and she often goes to have food battles with those useless research clubs. If she wins, she takes over their research club and turns it into a kitchen."

Everyone was taken aback. Yuko Ichihara said with some surprise, "After Kirari, is Erina also like this...? Suddenly I feel like it's abnormal for me to be with a group of hot-blooded guys."

Nami raised her hand and said, "Count me in..."

"No... Nami, you're not normal to begin with, because there are too many abnormal people in your team."

Nami's lips twitched; she really felt bad for being so normal...

As they walked, Kobayashi Rindou and the others asked with suspicion, "Yuko, you've met Kirari? When did that happen? Why didn't she mention it?"

"Bai Yu and I raided the private Hundred Flowers King a while ago, and we also saw Qi Luoli's school and what she looked like when she was playing... From now on, if Qi Luoli says how great her Hundred Flowers King is, I'll be the first to object, and nobody can take it from her!"

"Alright, alright... but Kirari encountered Shiraha while playing... goodness... Kirari didn't faint from fright, did she?"

Yuko Ichihara was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Huh? How did you know?"

"You've never seen anything like this before! Oh, there really is a private car! Go and call Erina and the others out!"

With that, Kobayashi Rindou dropped her suitcase and ran off. Ichihara Yuuko paused for a couple of seconds before saying in surprise, "Rindou... she seems really excited..."

"Because she saw the light at the end of the tunnel when she graduated."

Yuuko Ichihara and the others nodded in understanding. In fact, Bai Yu guessed correctly. Rindou Kobayashi was now preoccupied with getting the graduation date as soon as possible! Then, once he graduated, he would be completely free!

"Alice, what are you doing?"

"What else could I be doing... looking at recipes, of course."

Erina nodded. It seemed Alice did understand the importance of last-minute cramming, but before she could say anything, Kobayashi Rindou ran in. Erina asked in confusion, "Eh? Rindou-nee, what are you doing here? Are you going to come with me?"

Kobayashi Rindou nodded and said with a smile, "Oh! Alice has even taken a liking to the recipes, how ambitious of her!"

"She's just cramming at the last minute. Sister Longdan, you still haven't told me what you're here for."

"Let's go together. The car is at your door. We came here especially to pick you up."

Erina nodded; she wasn't as nervous anymore. Hisako, however, asked in confusion, "Eh? You guys... are you Kobayashi-senpai and Akanekubo-senpai?"

"Yeah, but it's not just the two of us! There are others too!"

Erina and the other two were taken aback. Could it be that someone else was going to Shiraha's shop? Kobayashi Rindou laughed and said, "Don't overthink it. It's just the five of us. Shiraha brought Yuuko and the others to pick us up."

"Oh... Ah?! Shopkeeper Shiraha is here?!"

Hearing that name, Alice and the other two felt a jolt in their hearts. They hadn't been so nervous before, but then they were suddenly told that Bai Yu was right at the door—they were just one step away from a heart attack...

Senzaemon knew that the Shiraha family was large and had many members, so he didn't look for a car, but a bus. A car would have been too far-fetched to fit five people's suitcases.

Erina and Hisako looked very nervous throughout the car ride, while Alice was unusually calm, currently focusing on the recipe.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Erina, this isn't like you. It's just an assessment, no need to be so nervous."

Erina breathed a sigh of relief, but was still nervous. However, she relaxed a bit and asked somewhat nervously, "Manager Shiraha, what do we need to do?"

Riven casually said while drinking the orange juice she got from Momo Akane, "Shiraha said you guys look like you're going into the kitchen, right?"

Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "That's right. Since we're here for the assessment, we naturally have to go into the kitchen. When we go back, lunch will be in your hands."

Kobayashi Rindou laughed and said, "Easy, easy, leave it to me! What about Lucifer and the others?"

"They went to the WGO construction site."

Rindou Kobayashi nodded. She didn't tell Erina about Managi Nakiri, so Erina and the others assumed it was because of Kraki.

Erina asked somewhat nervously, "Um... Rindou-nee, what are we having for lunch?"

"I don't know, we'll see when the time comes. Bai Yu, is there some reason why you want us to cook for you?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely meaningful. When we get back... It's 10 a.m. now. Give me the menu you've decided on before 12 p.m. Everyone needs to prepare a main course. The five of you also need to prepare an appetizer, a dessert, and a drink. I'll prepare the ingredients for you after you've decided."

Momoko Akane raised her hand and said, "Hey... Manager Shiraha, what about the main course?"

"Just decide based on your type of cuisine. There are no picky eaters here, ah... Yuko is a picky eater."

Yuuko Ichihara was taken aback and said in confusion, "I'm a picky eater? How come I didn't know that?"

"Then let's change your dish to Pearl Jade White Jade Soup."

Hisako was taken aback and said in confusion, "Isn't that just noodle soup or cabbage and tofu soup with rice?"

"No, no, no, I don't want that! Oh right! I remember now! Didn't you say there was a big meal today?!"

Add three shrimp.

Yuko Ichihara gave Shiraha a resentful look, while Rindou Kobayashi perked up and said expectantly, "What kind of feast is it, Shiraha? Tell me what delicious food you're going to make and give me some encouragement!"

Erina and the others also looked on with anticipation. Ichihara Yuuko smiled and said, "Shiraha said that he's going to... It's no fun telling you directly, so... how did he say it again... 'The aroma of meat wafts through the neighborhood when the jar is opened, even Buddha would abandon his meditation and jump over the wall to come,' that's what it's called, right?"

Shiraha nodded, Kobayashi Rindou's eyes widened suddenly, Akane Kubo Momo also looked surprised, Alice looked confused, what the heck, and Erina didn't react either.

Hisako thought for a moment and then exclaimed in surprise, "Manager Shiraha! Are you going to make that dish?!"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Yuko has been asking for this every day. Since you're here, it won't hurt to make one."

Yuko Ichihara chuckled and whispered in Shiraha's ear, "You're good with words, I'll reward you later."

Kobayashi Rindou exclaimed with delight, "A feast! This is a real feast!"

Alice asked in confusion, "What kind of feast? What kind of dish is this poem about?"

Hisako said softly, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

"What an awful name... Why is it called that?"

Erina realized what was happening and said irritably, "I told you to read more useful books. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a famous dish. The poem means that when the jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is opened, it smells exceptionally good, and even passing monks abandon their years of practice to climb over the wall to enjoy it."

Alice exclaimed in surprise, "Is there really such amazing food? That's incredible!"

Akane Momo said in a deep voice, "That's right, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall really exists, but it's definitely not that extreme. It's just a description. However, it is said that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall requires dozens of ingredients and goes through a lot of processes to make it."

Riven and Yuuko Ichihara's eyes lit up; they were both hungry just hearing that. Justice was also looking forward to it, while Nami was a little puzzled about what it would taste like.

Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "I ordered the food myself!"

"Well done, Yuuko!"

Erina was also full of anticipation. It was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! She had only heard of it but had never eaten it before. Moreover, she felt that even if she had eaten it before, Shiraha's version would definitely taste better.

"Hmm! It's been a long time since I've had time to come to the store!"

After everyone got off the bus, they saw Kobayashi Rindou stretch and look at the street corner, saying something like this. Ichihara Yuuko asked in confusion, "Hmm? You've been here before? During summer or winter vacation?"

Kobayashi Rindou shook his head and said, "No, I spend my summer and winter vacations traveling all over the world looking for rare ingredients. I'll take you to the rainforest to catch crocodiles sometime!"

Yuko Ichihara was taken aback: "You, all alone, empty-handed, caught crocodiles in the rainforest?"

"Isn't that normal?"

"Something's not right..."

"That's perfectly normal..."

Yuuko Ichihara looked at Riven with annoyance and said, "Stop! You're the exception!"

"Huh? I don't feel anything..."

"Let's not talk about that for now. When did you arrive, Gentian? Aren't you usually teaching classes or doing research?"

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "This... this is a secret. You know, the last time I appeared in the shop at this time was when I made up my mind to become the shop owner."

"Eh?"

Yuuko Ichihara and the others were taken aback. Goodness, there's more to this than meets the eye. It seems quite a lot happened between these two that day. After all, Rindou Kobayashi is the group leader, which means he was the first one.

Bai Yu, carrying a pile of suitcases, said softly, "You guys go back first. I'll take the luggage over. Riven and Nami, you two help Erina and the others choose rooms. Rindou, your room is still the same."

"Oh! I got it, Erina! Alice! Hisako! Momoko! Let's go! Just so you know, the rooms at this place are amazing! They're even better than star-rated hotels!"

"Oh! Really?"

"Why would I lie to you, Alice? I think you should try to curry favor with me, the boss's wife!"

"Tch... There are too many proprietresses... Yuuko-neechan~"

"okok!"

Chapter 605 A Self-Indulgent Display of Affection, the Sweet and Sour Scent of Love (Please Subscribe~)

This was the first time Erina and the others had come to the second floor. No... it should be said that this was the first time Erina, Hisako, and Momo Akane had come to the upgraded shop, and all three of them looked surprised.

Kobayashi Rindou laughed and said, "Don't be surprised. Weren't we closed for rectification before, so it wasn't appropriate for you to talk about it? And look at the time, it's already 10:25! Don't you remember you need to hand in your order by 12 o'clock?"

Hearing this, Erina and the others looked anxious. Ichihara Yuuko smiled and said, "No need to rush. This is a meal at home, not for guests. There's no need to set a specific time. A ten or eight minute late is fine, but don't be too late! I'm still hungry!"

Yuuko Ichihara's words relieved the group. The warm and quiet atmosphere in the shop, combined with Yuuko's earlier joke, made them feel less nervous.

Justice went straight to the jewelry store, while Riven and the others took Erina and the others upstairs. Shiraha also came back with his suitcases; carrying five suitcases clearly required some skill.

As soon as Yuuko Ichihara saw Bai Yu, she went over to him. Before Bai Yu could say anything, he saw Yuuko Ichihara wrap her arms around his neck. Bai Yu smiled but didn't say anything. Yuuko Ichihara looked at the stairs and said, "Hurry up, hurry up. You should cherish this reward!"

Bai Yu watched helplessly as Ichihara Yuko slowly moved closer. Ichihara Yuko smiled and closed her eyes. The only witnesses to this movie-level kissing scene were these five suitcases.

"Wow! This room is so well-equipped! TV, computer..."

"What a clean and tidy place! It's also very spacious. It's great!"

"It's much better than Little Peach imagined!"

"Is this the kind of place that Kraki and the others live in?! They really know how to enjoy life!"

Riven, leaning against the door, asked, "How long are you going to stay here?"

"Half a month."

Riven nodded, and Nami thought for a moment and said, "Half a month... then you guys shouldn't need to prepare anything, this should be enough, right?"

"Yeah!" x5

Alice was about to run downstairs when Nami stopped her. Nami blushed slightly and coughed lightly, saying, "Based on what I know about Yuuko these past few days, she's probably clinging to Shiraha right now. So it's best if you wait for Yuuko to come up before you go down, otherwise..."

"How about it?"

Riven tilted her head and said, "Justice said this is called 'selfless lovey-dovey' and it's all stinky love. Watching too much of it will make you dream, so it's better not to watch it."

Alice nodded thoughtfully, while downstairs, Yuuko Ichihara kissed Shiraha on the corner of the mouth and said with a smile, "I called them down."

"Go."

Alice and the others looked at Ichihara Yuko with strange expressions when they saw her come upstairs. Ichihara Yuko coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Go downstairs and get your luggage."

"Oh oh oh!" x4

Erina and the others ran over immediately, while Rindou Kobayashi went over to look at Yuko Ichihara, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "Yuko, why are your lips swollen?"

Yuko Ichihara gave Rindou Kobayashi an annoyed look before heading back to her room. She needed to quickly change into her slippers; no matter how pretty those shoes were, nothing beat the comfort of slippers.

Have you decided what dish to make?

Erina and the others who came down to get their suitcases all shook their heads. Kobayashi Rindou smiled and said, "I want to make crocodile meat, but it doesn't go well with other dishes, so I'll decide which one to choose after you guys decide. I've already thought about what to make for each cuisine."

Erina and the others sighed. After all, it was the second seat. After thinking for a moment, Momoko Akane nodded and said, "Momoko has also made a decision. Let's go up and discuss it first."

Everyone nodded. Kobayashi Rindou was still at the back, or rather, she remained where she was even after everyone else had gone up. She walked up to Shiraha and said with a smile, "Yuko, that tsundere has another side to her, huh? I want the sweet smell of love too! But not now, I'm going up first!"

Watching Kobayashi Rindou leave with his suitcase, Shiraha smiled, shook his head, and said softly, "Still the same as back then..."

"Akanekubo-senpai! What are you trying to do?"

"My ideal dish is Bresse chicken cooked in cream. Manager Shiraha must have the best cream and Bresse chicken here, and the spices will be complete."

Rindou Kobayashi thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then let's tentatively call it Western food. But we can't really just make a little bit. We should try to make it like Chinese food, since it's not for guests."

Momoko Akane nodded, and Erina thought for a moment and said, "We already have chicken. The rest should focus on lamb, beef and seafood. For seafood, we also need to consider desserts, because then we can't have a lot of fruit. But lemons and grapes are fine."

Kobayashi Rindou thought for a moment and said, "I'll make the beef. I'll make beef stew in Burgundy red wine. That way, we can use the leftover red wine in the appetizer salad or dessert."
