People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Lucifer glanced at Cerberus waving at her from inside the shop and Shiraha, who was being clung to by Kobayashi Rindou, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. This was her home, a place that neither hell nor heaven could compare to...

"coming!"

After saying goodbye, Lucifer went back into the store and took down the "Closed" sign from the door. It felt like coming home... the most relaxing feeling...

"Cerberus, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you~"

"Mmm mmm mmm?"

Erina's lips twitched as she looked at Cerberus, whose mouth was stuffed up like a hamster's. It was cute, but could it swallow and speak? She really couldn't translate this foreign language.

Bai Yu laughed and said, "Cerberus~ Be careful~ Don't choke~ What did you just say?"

Cerberus swallowed with obvious difficulty and then sighed with relief, saying, "So, did I eat that fast?"

Everyone nodded. Cerberus scratched his head and then started eating in small bites. Although he was very unhappy, it didn't look so bad to him.

Although Cerberus looked very cute and enjoyed his food, it was actually quite unpleasant to watch him choke.

Lucifer ate very politely as usual, but she kept drinking the ginseng chicken soup on the side to replenish her qi and blood. Bai Yu had specially made it for her, and she didn't have any intention of hiding it from her.

Although Lucifer said it wasn't necessary, he decided to drink it all because Bai Yu had made it especially for him. Kobayashi Rindou watched Bai Yu and Lucifer with a smile the whole time. She decided that she had to ask Lucifer how he did it tonight. She was so envious of him.

The meal was very lively. Even Hisako, disregarding her status, became quite active and chatted happily with everyone. There's only one situation in the world where someone would eat very slowly.

That is eating with friends. At this time, it's not about the food, but the atmosphere. A group of people eat and chat. When they talk about something happy, they laugh together. When they talk about something sad, they comfort each other. When they talk about common topics, they discuss them together. There is no such thing as not talking while eating or sleeping.

Before they knew it, the day had completely darkened and everyone was still not finished eating. However, the conversation had gone on and on, starting with some funny stories and then moving on to interesting experiences all over the world.

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head as he watched them chatting happily. This was the feeling of youth, and this was the atmosphere that should be when eating with friends. What rules? Without elders around, eating together is just a happy occasion.

Just as Bai Yu was about to go to the kitchen to get them some juice, he heard the door open. A beautiful woman with a gentle smile walked in, followed by a smiling boy in a beige coat. It was none other than Fuji Yumiko and her brother.

"At the time, the crocodile was struggling so violently that I just... Hey? Yumiko-nee!"

When Kobayashi Rindou was getting really excited and was about to tell everyone how she caught the crocodile with her bare hands, she saw Fuji Yumiko smiling. Fuji Yumiko is like an older sister in the group and was Kobayashi Rindou's first member, so Kobayashi Rindou and Fuji Yumiko have a very good relationship.

To be precise, Fuji Yumiko has a good relationship with everyone, and she is the only woman that Kirari would obediently listen to. She is quite remarkable.

Yumiko Fuji smiled and nodded, saying, "Rindou, I didn't expect to see you here. Lucifer, I've heard Zhan Zhan talk about you. You're really amazing!"

"Yumiko, I..."

Yumiko Fuji laughed and said, "It's nothing~ Don't underestimate everyone, Cerberus~ We meet again~"

"It's Yumiko!"

Cerberus had a very deep impression of Fuji Yumiko and liked her as an older sister.

Shiraha glanced at Fuji Yumiko and Fuji Syusuke and asked, "Eh? Where's Yuuta?"

The two were also taken aback. Turning around, they saw that Fuji Yuta, who had come with them, was gone. Fuji Yumiko opened the door and saw Fuji Yuta standing there. She said gently, "Yuta, what are you doing at the door?"

"I'm on the phone."

"Are you done fighting? Come in when you're done~ Bai Yu wants to see you~"

After hesitating for a moment, Fuji Yuuta breathed a sigh of relief and went inside. As soon as he entered, he saw that everyone was looking at him, and he was surprised to find that, apart from his brother, there were only two men, him and Shiraha. Um... he was a boy.

Fuji Yuuta had only one thought in his mind: As expected of Shiraha-nii, he's really amazing! He's surrounded by high-quality girls! But this also made Fuji Yuuta a little nervous, after all, it's normal for a boy his age to feel nervous being looked at by a group of beautiful women.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Yuta's gotten a lot stronger, looks like he's been practicing a lot!"

Fuji Yuta quickly said, "Brother Baiyu, I'm still far from good enough."

Just as Bai Yu was about to say something, he frowned as he looked at Fuji Yuuta's wrist and said, "Your hand..."

Fuji Yuuta paused for a moment, then raised his hand to look at it and said, "Brother Shiraha, what's wrong with my hand? Is there a problem?"

Fuji Yumiko and Fuji Syusuke also looked at Fuji Yuuta with worried expressions. Shiraha was indeed a person with a sense of humor, but he would never show it when it came to serious matters.

Bai Yu said softly, "Your current ultimate move is one you just learned, right?"

Fuji Yuuta was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Brother Shiraha, how did you know?"

Bai Yu said in a deep voice, "You can't play this ball anymore. If you play it too much, your tennis career will be over."

Fuji Syusuke's eyes snapped open, and he frowned as he asked, "Yuta, who taught you how to play this ball?"

Bai Yu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can still manage if I play a few less times. It's a pretty strong half-volley return shot, but the load is a bit heavy. Yuta will be careful too, so don't worry about it for now. What would you like to eat?"

Bai Yu's words were quite effective; Fuji Syusuke and Fuji Yumiko breathed a sigh of relief. Fuji Yuuta, however, was still in a daze. Fuji Yumiko looked at Bai Yu and said gently, "Bai Yu, is there anything suitable for the three of us to eat? Something a little stronger in flavor, please?"

After thinking for a while, Bai Yu said, "I really want to know what would be best for the three of you. Okay, stop thinking about it, sit down first, your meal will be ready soon~"

After the three nodded and found a table to sit down, Fuji Yumiko went to Lucifer and the others. Fuji Yumiko's friendliness also made Erina and the others have a good impression of her. Girls can form friendships so quickly, and in just a few minutes they were chatting happily.

Fuji Syusuke sat opposite Fuji Yuuta and said in a deep voice, "Yuuta, you need to be careful about what Shiraha-nii says..."

"You don't need to worry about this!"

"Yuta..."

P.S.: I'm about to start.

Chapter 115 This Hot Pot Came to Life (Please Subscribe~)

Lucifer naturally noticed the situation on Fuji Syusuke's side. He glanced at Fuji Yumiko, his thoughts all in his eyes. Fuji Yumiko noticed as well, but simply sighed.

"Yumiko, Yumiko, Yumiko! What's wrong?"

Yumiko Fuji shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm fine. These kinds of things are best left for the two of them to handle themselves."

The brothers Fuji Syusuke and Fuji Yuuta did not remain silent; on the contrary, they talked non-stop, but neither of them argued loudly. It was just that Fuji Yuuta's tone was not very friendly.

"Oh? This is it? It looks pretty good!"

Just as everyone was chatting amongst themselves, the door was opened again, and two men walked in, silencing the room for a moment before continuing their conversation.

"Fuji, you really are here."

Upon hearing the surname Fuji, both Fuji Syusuke and Fuji Yuuta turned their heads. Fuji Yuuta looked bewildered, while Fuji Syusuke smiled and said, "Atobe, you really came."

Keigo Atobe nodded and said, "I'm very interested in a dish that you and Tezuka both praised so highly! Right, Kabaji?"

"Yes!"

Hearing their conversation, Erina paused, turned to look at Atobe Keigo. Someone noticed Atobe Keigo, and the two exchanged a glance before falling into an awkward silence. After a long while, just as Alice was about to ask something, Erina said irritably, "How do you, this tsundere, know about Manager Shiraha's shop?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. Atobe Keigo's lips twitched as he said, "Erina, that's enough! Can't you and that gossipy Sonoko talk to each other properly?!"

Erina crossed her arms and thought for a while before shaking her head and saying, "Because if I talk to you nicely, you'll just act all tsundere again. This is more realistic."

Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled. Alice smiled and said, "Erina, do you know this person?"

Erina nodded and said, "Of course I know him. I met him at a dinner party when I was little, when my grandfather was having dinner with some business owners. We younger ones were on the other side, of course. That's when I met Atobe. You're not talking about Suzuki Sonoko, are you...?"

Atobe Keigo nodded and remained silent. He knew that if he spoke, Erina would drive him crazy sooner or later, so he might as well keep quiet. However, he really admired Shiraha. The two people he had the least ability to communicate with, Sonoko and Erina, had actually been completely subdued by Shiraha. He had no choice but to admire him.

At this moment, Bai Yu poked his head out of the kitchen, looked at Atobe Keigo and said with a smile, "It's you. I remember you. Your name is Atobe, right?"

"Yes! I didn't expect you to actually own a restaurant."

Bai Yu said gently, "Is it strange that I run a restaurant? Tennis is just one of my hobbies. You didn't come here tonight to verify whether I actually run a restaurant, did you? What would you like to eat?"

Atobe asked in confusion, "There's no menu?"

"Whatever you want to eat, we have the ingredients here and we can make it for you."

"An interesting restaurant, so I'll order a Chateaubriand steak, Yorkshire pudding, a cream of mushroom soup, a glass of non-alcoholic champagne, and matcha cake for dessert."

Bai Yu nodded and smiled, saying, "A very refined way of eating. No wonder you know Sonoko and Erina. So this gentleman is called Kabaji, right? Mr. Kabaji, what would you like to eat?"

"Hawaiian beef pizza and beef rice bowl..."

Shiraha nodded and then said to Fuji Yumiko, "Yumiko, your food will be ready soon~"

Fuji Yumiko nodded, then stood up and returned to her seat. It seemed that Fuji Yumiko's return made the argument, which had subsided considerably after Atobe came in, completely quiet down.

Yumiko Fuji said softly, "Why are you two suddenly silent?"

Neither Fuji Syusuke nor Fuji Yuuta said anything more. Just as Fuji Syusuke was about to say something, he was interrupted by a gentle voice.

"Yumiko, don't worry too much. They're both people you can trust. Maybe Yuta needs a little reminder, but it'll be fine~"

After placing a stove on the table, Bai Yu looked at Fuji Yumiko with a smile. Fuji Yumiko sighed and said, "Well, by the way, why did you put a stove here? Are you going to grill meat?"

Bai Yu chuckled and pinched Fuji Yumiko's cheek, saying with a smile, "Of course not~ Wouldn't it be awkward if the three of you just stared at the meat slowly cooking? Wait a minute~"

Yumiko Fuji didn't break free, just stared at Shiraha until he released her, then rubbed her face. Shusuke Fuji chuckled and said, "Sister really can't do anything with Shiraha-nii~"

Yumiko Fuji smiled and said, "I don't disagree with that. Ah, Shiraha is back."

When Bai Yu returned this time, he was carrying a relatively flat black pot with a lid on it, but everyone could hear the sound of bubbles bursting.

After placing the pot on the stove, Bai Yu said with a smile, "Yumiko, Shusuke, Yuuta, aren't you going to guess what it is? You guys are making me feel so unsatisfied~"

Yumiko Fuji chuckled and gently patted Shiraha, saying, "Alright, stop joking around, we're all hungry~"

"That sound is... hot pot?"

"bingo~"

Bai Yu lifted the lid, and a burst of steam wafted out, followed by a sweet and spicy aroma, along with an indescribable fragrance. Occasionally, the bubbling sound of the boiling soup warmed the air.

Some dishes may smell very similar, but hot pot is different; each hot pot has its own unique taste and smell.

The unique aroma of the hot pot is so enticing that you can tell what you're eating just by smelling it, and you know what kind of surprise and satisfaction this hot pot will bring you without even looking at it.

Fuji Syusuke's eyes were wide open and his mouth slightly agape. Fuji Yuuta also swallowed hard. Only when you sit in front of a boiling hot pot will you realize how tempting it is.

Bai Yu waved his hand, and the steam dissipated, revealing the hot pot in its true form: an orange-red hot pot, with all the ingredients inside boiling together in the broth.

Glug...glug...

When that sound rang out, everyone knew that the hot pot... had come to life...

Chapter 116 There's nothing the Hot Pot Witch can't heal (Please subscribe~)

As Hawkeye and Shanks said when they came, nothing in the world is more liberating than hot pot, no matter what kind of hot pot it is or what time of day it is.

Put all the things you want to eat into the boiling broth, and when you see your favorite food slowly boiling, you'll feel your whole body warming up.

A few friends gather around, a family gets together, watching the food boiling in the pot, any grudges can be temporarily put aside, because this warmth is more effective than any words.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "How was this magic trick? Cheese rice cake hot pot~"

Yumiko Fuji smiled and said, "Perfect! So, Mr. Magician, our..."

"I know what you're going to say. Of course, drinks are prepared too, so please have some. It's Korean chili sauce, not too spicy but flavorful enough~"

After saying that, she went back to the kitchen to get drinks for the group. Erina glanced at the hot pot and swallowed hard. She had eaten hot pot before, but she had never tried this kind of hot pot. The pot full of ingredients boiling in a red broth with a hint of orange made her mouth water.

Hot pot, chili sauce, cheese, rice cakes, yogurt—just listen to these things that represent calories, listen to these enemies of dieters. But it must be said, these are beautiful names, names that evoke vivid images when you hear them.

Hot pot has never been described with many embellishments. Rather than a dish, hot pot is more about an atmosphere, a lively feeling.

Hot pot has never imposed any rules on what ingredients to put in what pot or what dipping sauce to use. This freedom is part of the charm of hot pot.

This is a simple cheese rice cake hot pot. It doesn't contain any expensive ingredients or complicated cooking methods. In the boiling broth, luncheon meat slices, sliced ​​fish cakes, shiitake mushrooms, crab sticks, mini sausages, enoki mushrooms, and other ingredients float in the broth, lying in a circle along the edge of the pot. It's so hot that it's almost like a hot spring for the ingredients.

The cheese-filled rice cake, the main ingredient, quietly occupies a corner in the pot. Perhaps the only things that can come close to it are the various meatballs. In the boiling broth, the meatballs look like ping-pong balls on a fountain, which is both delicious and interesting.

As mentioned above, every hot pot has its own unique charm, and cheese rice cake hot pot is no exception. For example, after everything is prepared, a generous layer of mozzarella cheese is sprinkled on top.

As the cheese slowly melts, it gives the already sweet and spicy cheese rice cake hot pot a unique flavor that other hot pots rarely have. The rich aroma of the cheese is sure to make you fall in love with it, and you certainly won't dislike the hot pot as it becomes even more beautiful because of the melted cheese.

The aroma of anything you pick up with your chopsticks is irresistible. Humans are a species that cannot resist high-calorie foods: drinks, fruits, meats, dairy products, and so on. There's always a dish you can enjoy, but its calories will definitely not be low.

Just one bite and all the bad feelings vanish. Keep eating, and that's the message conveyed by this piping hot food.

Just keep eating, don't worry about your table manners, don't worry about other people's opinions, just keep eating, and your taste buds will tell you how right you are to do it. Whether it's a cheese-filled rice cake that bursts with cheese when you bite into it, or a smooth fish cake luncheon meat, your sense of taste will tell you that you are eating the right thing.

As you eat, the kimchi, cabbage, scallions, and onions that had been soaked in flavor at the bottom of the pool gradually reveal themselves. But at this point, you no longer care what ingredients you've picked up, because they're all equally delicious.
