Jinx scratched her head and said, "So, everyone's been divided into groups?"

Asagi nodded and said, "That's right, you'll be in the same group as the judge."

"Eh?! Fine then! I'll show you what happens when you underestimate Jinx! I'm a really good cook!"

The judge raised an eyebrow and said, "Really? Can I believe you?"

"Trust me, I'm right!"

The judge nodded, and everyone sprang into action instantly. However, some of them were making the dishes by looking at the recipes on their phones, working in pairs.

"Shu, you idiot, I told you to slice it, not to chop it into dumpling filling."

"So, Hancock, what are we going to do?"

"I don't know. Didn't Asagi say you should decide?"

"Hmm... then I'll make stir-fried pork tenderloin with ginger!"

"Huh? Is that the one I ate this morning?"

"Correct!"

"Hmm...this one looks pretty simple, let's go with this one!"

On the other side, Jinx rubbed her hands together, and a slight smile appeared on her lips as she watched Lucifer and the others prepare the food. She seemed to have everything under control. Judgment suddenly felt that maybe this girl really could cook?

"Jinx, what should we do? I think this black pepper beef tenderloin looks pretty simple."

"Okay! This is it!"

Jinx stood confidently in front of the stove, holding her phone and saying softly, "First, we need to marinate it..."

The judge nodded, seemingly trustworthy, but the next moment Jinx whispered, "Tsk... what kind of ingredient is 'pickled'?"

The judge's pupils contracted; it seemed she had a teammate who wasn't very bright, but it looked like it was too late to replace her... What to do? I need help urgently...

Chapter 74 The promising young hero, Orange, and the freeloader Yuuko (Please subscribe)

The kitchen was quite lively at this moment. Fortunately, the kitchen was spacious enough. Bai Yu was making fish balls. Just as Bai Yu opened the pot, a rich aroma wafted out, and everyone's eyes lit up.

However, a wicked little hand reached out, but before it could succeed, it was caught by Shiraha. Kobayashi Rindou said with a smile, "Hey, Shiraha... lend me some curry."

"The curry you need is different from the curry I'm making, unless you want to make a sweet one."

"Huh? It's sweet?"

"Sweet and spicy, but you should have used a fragrant and spicy flavor."

After tasting it, Kobayashi Rindou sighed and said, "I still have to make curry myself... It's such a hassle... Anyone want to make curry?"

No one spoke. Kobayashi Rindou sighed and said, "Alright, alright, I'm really fed up with you lazy people. You can't even be bothered to make curry."

Everyone's lips twitched. It seemed that the person who chose curry had even less right to speak. On the other hand, Ichihara Yuuko was quite relaxed, looking around.

"Hey! Yuuko! Put down the carrots I just cut! They weren't for you to eat as a snack!" - Tsunade

"Yuko! I just shelled these nuts! You ate them all?!" by Lucifer

"Huh?! Where's the cucumber we cut?" by Yukari Yakumo

Bai Yu looked at the apple in his hand, which seemed to have come from nowhere, and the person chewing something in their mouth. They just sat in front of Bai Yu and watched Bai Yu prepare the ingredients.

Bai Yu tilted his head and looked at Ichihara Yuko. Ichihara Yuko was still chewing and looking at Bai Yu when suddenly she reached out her hand.

Bai Yu looked at Ichihara Yuko, who was still chewing something expressionlessly while he was holding her hand, and shook his head with a smile. Ichihara Yuko grinned and then quickly covered her mouth.

Aren't you going to prepare the food?

Yuko Ichihara swallowed the food in her mouth with great difficulty before laughing and saying, "Hey, my cooking is very simple. You all prepare, then I'll start preparing."

"Huh? You're not thinking of making tamagoyaki, are you?"

"Of course not, I learned about this from a magazine before, and I bet a lot of people haven't tried it! Just wait and you'll be amazed!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "That is indeed something to look forward to. But what brings you here?"

"Hehe... I think these fish balls are pretty delicious..."

"Wait a minute, this is made according to quantity, if it's too small we won't be able to display it."

"put?"

"Yeah, you don't think I'm going to just cook the food and throw it all into a bowl, do you?"

"Huh?! Isn't that right?!"

"Of course not, just look forward to it."

"Oh... then let me help you!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, go and separate the mushroom heads and stems. Keep the stems separately, and wash the heads."

"it is good!"

Time passed slowly, and a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen. Most people had finished cooking and were helping out or chatting.

While washing vegetables, Yuko Ichihara asked in confusion, "Shiraha, tell me, of all these pajamas, whose do you think is the best looking?"

Everyone silently turned their heads away. Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Hmm? It's not like they're all wearing pajamas."

Lucifer rolled his eyes at Bai Yu and said, "You still want to throw a pajama party? Which one is the prettiest right now?"

"Now?"

"Hmm!" xn

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu said softly, "This question... we haven't prepared a prize for the champion, so let's just forget about it. It's not sincere to say it so directly."

"Hmph!"

Although everyone looked dissatisfied, this was the best answer. However, it still brought us back to the original topic: what did Bai Yu's pajamas look like?

But how could I ask that question? That's asking for trouble! Just then, Orange asked in confusion, "Lord Baiyu! Lord Baiyu! What do your pajamas look like?"

A hero! This is a hero! Young and promising! A bright future awaits!

Bai Yu paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Cheng, why are you asking this?"

"Since Lord Baiyu always opens his shop at night, I'm very curious about what your pajamas usually look like. After all, Lord Baiyu's clothes are always so beautiful!"

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "For men... in the summer, isn't a pair of casual shorts enough? Or a yukata?"

“Gurgle…”xn

"Hmm? So what exactly was that sound?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Cheng tilted her head and said, "It sounds like someone swallowing... Hmm... Who could it be?"

Bai Yu shook his head. Lucifer and the others chuckled, seemingly having thought of something. Bai Yu looked at Cheng, who also shook his head with a blank expression. Bai Yu sighed and said, "It really is strange..."

"Hmm... Lord Baiyu, is that thing called fish maw delicious?"

"Orange, you seem very curious?"

"Hmm! I'm not really sure what it tastes like... and it seems to get weird after it's been steeped..."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "The texture of this... overall, it's a very interesting ingredient. Orange, you should really like it. But the other ingredients in this dish are also very good. You should really like orange."

"Mmm! So much meat and seafood from the sea!"

"While that's true, you can't just eat meat; you also need to eat some vegetables and fruits."

"Oh... Lord Shirayu! Lord Lan and I cooked!"

"Yeah, I saw it. Hey? Yuuko, what are you doing?"

Yuuko Ichihara tilted her head and said, "Prepare my meal."

"Oh... I didn't know you could do this."

"Of course! Look forward to it!"

Seeing Yuko Ichihara holding a kitchen knife and a large piece of chicken, everyone was puzzled. What was she going to do? Was it too late to prepare?

Just then, Lantabi asked in confusion, "Baiyu, Baiyu, you want this wasabi too? What are you going to do with it?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

"oh.."

Chapter 75 New Year's Cuisine - Poon Choi, Yuuko Ichihara's Cooking (Please Subscribe~)

To everyone's astonishment, Yuko Ichihara, with her rather clumsy knife skills, chopped up a bunch of side dishes. Just when everyone thought she was going to stir-fry or stew them, Yuko Ichihara actually started plating them!

That's not the point. The point is that Yuko Ichihara started cutting the chicken. The chicken looked so fresh. Sometimes, that kind of really fresh meat is like a gemstone, making you want to eat it right away.

After Yuko Ichihara cut this piece of chicken, she chose another piece with the skin on. Everyone scratched their heads, looking puzzled. What was she going to do?

Yuko Ichihara turned her head and looked around. Shiraha pointed to the baking tray on the side, and Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "As expected of you! You really understand me!"

Lucifer asked in confusion, "Are you making roast chicken?"

"Roasted chicken? It is... and it isn't... you'll see when you look at it. Many people haven't tried this dish before, but the reviews are very good, and I tried it myself, and it's quite good."

Rindou Kobayashi clapped his hands and said, "I know! Cunning! So cunning! Yuuko! You chose such a cunning dish!"

Erina squinted and said, "You look so familiar... Akanekubo-nee, don't you look familiar?"

"Hiss... This... Little Peach is definitely familiar with it... But there are so few people around eating... I really can't remember right now... Oh! Little Peach remembers!"

Yuko Ichihara didn't think too much about it and just leisurely grilled the chicken. However, she basically only grilled the skin and removed it when it was only half-cooked.

Before Lucifer and the others could say anything, they saw Ichihara Yuuko place the raw and half-cooked chicken on top of the previously arranged side dishes, clapped her hands, and said, "Done!"

Pandemonica's lips twitched as she said, "This is your cooking?!"

"Yeah, haven't you ever tried guinea fowl sashimi?"

"No!"

Sonoko raised an eyebrow and said, "In my memory, I've eaten pork intestine sashimi, beef sashimi, all kinds of fish sashimi, all kinds of seafood sashimi, but... chicken sashimi, seriously?!"

Erina nodded and said, "I knew it looked familiar! It turns out that Grandpa and Dojima-senpai had this when they were drinking together before. I glanced at it and thought it was some kind of shrimp sashimi, but it turned out to be chicken."

Rindou Kobayashi nodded and said, "This is indeed very delicious, but you can't eat too much. Yuko is just being lazy! Even lazier than when it comes to sashimi!"

Yuuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "Isn't it good as long as it tastes good? Besides, am I as careless as Benio and Medici?! Those two just served a lime-pickled fish!"

Mordis said casually, "It's not like it's impossible. As long as we can make it, that's fine. Besides, neither of us knows how to cook. But Benio is still very good."

"You're the same, we're in the same boat!"

Everyone's lips twitched. It was a dish that even a child could make, but these two made it look like they had prepared a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, leaving everyone with plenty of things to complain about.

Gurefia said softly, "More than anything, I'm concerned about... Xiao Qiong, what you made... looks very strange... but it smells quite good, what is it?"

"This? Fish stew with radish, it's a very common home-style dish. It's relatively simple to make, and it's one of the few dishes I've made that has received praise."

Lucifer nodded and said, "Unexpected, Xiao Qiong, you had this trick up your sleeve?"

Yumiko said gently, "Kozora does know some basic cooking, but as for who taught her... well, that's self-evident."

Everyone looked at Bai Yu, then nodded in realization. That made sense. Kasugano Sora clapped her hands and said, "I not only learned from Bai Yu-nii, but I also learned from Yumiko-neechan online!"

Yumiko nodded, while Yonomori Kokoro breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Most of the dishes are basically ordinary home-style cooking, which is relatively easy to understand, but... Rindou-nee! Why are you being lazy too!"

"Huh? I didn't slack off... By the way, Bai Yu, shouldn't you finish up the last steps? This is the main dish, and to be honest, this is the first time I've ever been late."

Bai Yu thought for a moment before nodding and scooping out all the prepared ingredients from the three large pots on the side. Lucifer was about to say that it was just a matter of pouring them all in when everyone froze.

Shiraha was actually using chopsticks to stack things up like building blocks, and Ichihara Yuuko asked in confusion, "What is this...why not just pour it in directly? Why are you stacking it up?"

As Bai Yu arranged the ingredients, he said gently, "First of all, it's about the aesthetics. Secondly, the portion is too large, so some ingredients that are good with broth should be placed at the bottom, while the juicy ones should be placed on top. This way, the flavors will develop layer by layer."

"Finally, there's another... folk legend, which is that every ingredient represents a meaning. For example, lotus root symbolizes marriage, fish represents abundance year after year, and so on. These ordinary ingredients take on all sorts of auspicious meanings during the Lunar New Year."

"This dish brings together all the symbolism, from marriage and personality to wealth and health. The layers represent the importance of each element. This whole dish symbolizes abundance and family reunion, which is why it's a dish eaten during the Lunar New Year."
