Chapter 1007: Prepare More Dishes as Alternatives

"Don't run, that chicken up front!"

"Help, Mr. Pig, I'm not after you anymore, stop chasing me!"

In the two-kilometer radius mountain forest area, forty-five students entered and soon stirred up quite a commotion.

Some students held large nets, chasing free-range wild chickens everywhere.

Other students provoked the free-range pigs and were now being chased by them.

There were no fierce beasts in the semi-grazing mountain forest, but the semi-wild pigs still had their wild nature.

Tadokoro Megumi stood on the high slope, watching the students running everywhere chased by pigs below, and subconsciously hid behind Broly, tugging his clothes: "How about we don't go after pigs then?"

"Japanese cuisine still uses many ingredients related to pigs, I think we can dig a trap first, then lure a Kagoshima Black Pig over————"

Yukihira Soma had a different opinion; there were quite a few pig breeds raised in this mountain forest, some quite rare.

Like the Kagoshima Black Pig he mentioned now; this pig's build is small but its fat is remarkably sweet, compared to beef it's the equivalent of Kobe beef among pork.

If they could really catch a Kagoshima Black Pig, they could cook this high-quality meat ingredient for free.

Of course, if Yukihira Soma were alone he probably wouldn't think of provoking such a hard-to-catch animal, but isn't Broly-san this reliable big brother right beside him.

A sixty-to-seventy-jin Kagoshima Black Pig, if not considering how to catch up to it, Broly-san could probably easily press it down with one hand.

"Idiots, people actually want to catch pigs; never mind that thing being hard to catch, even if caught, just the slaughter would take a huge amount of time.

And these free-range pigs obviously haven't undergone pre-slaughter rest; during capture they easily enter a stress state; under all these factors, the meat quality after slaughter will likely be unsatisfactory————"

Takumi Aldini said from not far away, sounding like he was mocking the unlucky guys being chased by pigs below, but actually satirizing Yukihira Soma's choice to also catch pigs.

"Then big brother, shall we go fishing?"

"No, let's catch ducks first."

"Then this fishing rod?"

"Bring it along for now, in case the wild ducks fly away and we can't catch them."

The Takumi brothers took fishing rods but didn't use them, instead taking nets and running off to catch wild ducks.

"Digging a trap isn't necessary, just catch it directly; but Soma, are you sure you want to use pig as the ingredient for the assignment dish?"

"If Broly-san you can catch it, it's more versatile, but even if we can't catch it no need to force it, we can just take a basin to the stream and scoop a few fish too."

Yukihira Soma didn't insist on catching a pig either; okay, mainly because he also heard Takumi Aldini's words.

Totsuki Academy advocates competition, but as expected there's still camaraderie among classmates, to actually remind him in this way.

【Don't know what that person's name is either————】

Yukihira Soma watched the two brothers surrounding and capturing mallards, thinking to himself.

"Broly-san, you caught it already?"

From the side came Tadokoro Megumi's exclamation; Yukihira Soma turned and found Broly already carrying a not-struggling-much Kagoshima Black Pig walking back.

"Ah, no, how did you catch it, I only spaced out for a moment?"

Yukihira Soma widened his eyes looking at Broly.

"It was this pig, just now it poked its head out by that tree thicket over there, Broly-san rushed over, I only saw Broly-san

cover its head with his palm, and this Kagoshima Black Pig stopped resisting, and Broly-san carried it back————"

Tadokoro Megumi answered for Broly, gesturing animatedly as she spoke, trying to replay Broly's heroic pig-catching posture with body movements.

"The pig's caught, what do you plan to cook with it?"

Broly asked.

"I plan to make the classic Kagoshima Black Pig dish, Fried Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl; top-grade lean meat cut into 2-centimeter thick slices, simple salt curing, then into the pan to pan-fry and deep-fry————"

"Need to coat in flour and breadcrumbs?"

"Can coat or not coat, which does Broly-san prefer?"

"I like both."

"Then I'll make both kinds, and before submitting the assignment dish to the instructor, I'll make a few portions for Broly-san to taste first."

"Cough cough, Soma, I think the assignment dish must be done carefully; how about I catch a few more fish, grab a few chickens, a few ducks, and we make several more dishes as alternatives?"

"I get your meaning, but besides fish, processing other ingredients is more troublesome; if the quantity is too much, I alone can't handle it all."

"No problem, leave the processing to me, you go boil water first."

"Then I'll carry the pig back along the way."

"Then I'll magic bring along the pig back."

"Hey, who brought hemp rope?"

"What do you need that thing for?"

"Tie the Kagoshima Black Pig's hands and feet, prevent this thing from making a fuss when it wakes up."

Yukihira Soma answered truthfully.

"Don't need that thing; to prevent this little guy from stress, I've already destroyed its brain tissue; it looks alive now but in essence it's already a vegetable pig."

"No need for that thing, for prevention of this little guy's stress reaction, I've already destroyed its brain tissue, now although it looks still alive, its essence is already a plant pig."

Then he saw Yukihira Soma and Tadokoro Megumi looking at him with a subtle gaze.

"Why are you two looking at me like that?"

He asked the two, a bit strangely.

"Broly-san, don't you feel you said something kind of creepy?"

"Broly-san, don't you feel that you've said something better than creepy?"

"Mhm mhm mhm————"

Tadokoro Megumi nodded beside him, indicating agreement with this statement.

Tadokoro Megumi nodded at the side, indicating agreement with these words.

"What creepy talk?"

Broly frowned slightly.

"You just said you destroyed this pig's brain tissue."

"So what?"

"But it's still alive."

"That's to keep the meat fresh, rest assured, I still understand the principle that chefs kill but don't torture, when I destroyed the brain tissue I moved fast, there might have been pain but it was just an instant, right now this pig shouldn't be able to feel pain."

"Ugh————"

"Any other questions?"

"I mean, Broly-san, you just destroyed a pig's brain with your bare hands."

"What, you want me to crush a skull with one slap too?"

"No, what I'm saying is, if it were a bipedal pig weighing over a hundred jin, could you also achieve a similar effect of destroying its brain bare-handed while keeping it alive?"

"Got it, you're worried I might turn you into like this pig?"

"I didn't say that."

"But you didn't refute it either, okay, honestly, I really can do it, but you don't need to fear me, after all, you're not pigs, and I wouldn't do that to you."

Broly extended his hand, Tadokoro Megumi subconsciously closed her eyes, and her head was covered by Broly's large hand.

A tingling, numbing sensation quickly came from her scalp.

"Mmm～"

The girl let out a soft groan, electric current spread from the top of her head throughout her body, and goosebumps rose all at once.

"How does it feel?"

Broly asked.

"Feels so good."

Tadokoro Megumi answered subconsciously, then immediately opened her eyes.

"Broly-san, this is?"

"A technique called Finger-Point Fist, it can destroy things inside the body through the flesh, and can also massage and relax someone's body and spirit like right now.

Hmm, techniques have no good or bad, it only depends on how the person wielding it specifically uses it, one holding a knife can be a bandit, but can also be a chef cooking, right?"

"S-sorry, Broly-san, we didn't mean to treat you as a bandit."

"Alright, Yukihira carry the pig back first, Komekko, you take the bucket and keep following me, we're going to catch fish, opportunities for a free big meal don't come often."

"Uh, we have to prepare so many dishes, doing it like this, won't we get scolded?"

"Shouldn't, Inui Hinako-sensei didn't say we can't make multiple servings."

Yukihira Soma carried the pig back, while Broly and Tadokoro Megumi went to the stream side.

And here, there were already quite a few students casting fishing rods to fish.

Compared to catching chickens, catching ducks, even catching pigs, fishing is indeed safer and less tiring.

Of course, there's the risk of getting skunked.

", come catch fish, don't even bring a fishing rod, don't tell me you still want to scoop with your hands?"

A student saw bare-handed Broly and subconsciously said a line.

Then, he saw the burly youth walking into the stream bend over, extend his hand into the water and casually swipe once, and a sweetfish flew out of the water surface along with the swiped-up water flow, precisely falling into the water bucket in the shore-side girl's hands.

"No way, you really can scoop with your hands?!"

Broly swiped in the water a dozen times, caught a dozen fish, then left the stream side.

And after Broly left, the student holding a fishing rod who witnessed the whole process, looked at the few scattered small fish in his own bucket.

Thought for a bit, this person threw away the fishing rod, also imitated his appearance and walked into the stream water, under other students' looking-at-an-idiot gazes, started paddling water in the stream.

", this is giving up completely, planning to enjoy playing in the deep mountain stream before getting expelled?!"

A student who failed to get other ingredients and planned to come fish, saw the person paddling in the stream, and asked strangely.

"Hey, pressure's high, another one gone crazy~"

Besides that, someone else said with a sigh.

Inui Hinako was originally drinking tea and eating small snacks, when she saw Yukihira Soma carrying a Kagoshima Black Pig back.

Being able to catch a free-range pig counts as skill, she didn't plan to say much, but soon she discovered the twisted-braid girl carrying a bucket of fish back.

Next, was Broly carrying a few ducks and chickens, and these two went out again, carrying a basket of mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Going back and forth several times, the things brought back actually nearly filled two stoves, this forced her to run over and ask: "What are you planning to cook, there's pig, fish, chicken duck, wild vegetables, mushrooms, don't tell me you want to make a big mixed stew hot pot?"

"Sounds not bad, this can work."

"Even if making this, you don't need this many ingredients, right?"

"Hinako-san, you misunderstand, we plan to make several more servings."

"Several more servings?!"

Inui Hinako looked at the sixty-plus jin Kagoshima Black Pig, and the other miscellaneous ingredients on the two stoves.

【How many servings' worth is this?】

"That's right, make several more servings, then taste the flavors, finally pick the best one to present to you."

"Speaking of, these ingredients should be provided free, and won't be charged extra, right?"

"During training camp, all ingredient expenses are reimbursed by the academy, you don't need to worry about that, just that if you cook too much and can't eat it all, causing waste wouldn't be good, you need to pay attention."

Student-made dishes, she only eats a small bite to taste, as for the rest, those are the students' lunch o

"Won't waste, please rest assured."

"That's right, all ingredients brought back, we'll process cleanly."

Soma Yukihira and Tadokoro Megumi spoke with great confidence.

Of course, these two weren't confident in themselves, but in Broly's appetite.

These days, at Polar Star Dormitory, Broly's appetite still hadn't been fathomed by anyone.

Six bowls of rice he could eat, six pots of rice was also no problem, and when asked if he was full, the answer was always Schrödinger's seventy percent full.

"Alright, as long as you can handle it cleanly, but, your two cooking stations, in total only?"

Hinako Inui raised another question, mainly worried that these few might exceed the time limit while cooking and end up eliminated.

"You're right, but those cooking stations next to you, aren't there still many empty stoves?"

Broly spoke with the tone of someone saying a sidewalk isn't very wide.

"But those aren't yours."

Hinako Inui reminded.

"No problem, when the owners of those cooking stations come back, we'll return them, at worst we'll give them some ingredients as compensation, hmm, Hinako-sensei, is that not allowed?"

"As long as you don't cause disputes."

Hinako Inui thought for a moment, then shrugged and replied, she sat back down on the chair beside her.

Broly then picked up a kitchen knife, preparing to kill the pig.

Tadokoro Megumi also picked up a kitchen knife, helping kill chickens and ducks on the side.

Practiced this long killing-people swordsmanship (crossed out) decapitation knife skills (✓), finally put to use.

Hinako Inui watched from the side with her eyelids twitching, what is called queuing for beheading, this is called queuing for beheading.

A girl who looks soft and weak, chopping chicken heads and duck heads, she does it so cleanly and neatly.

But even more absurd is that burly youth, after the pig finished bleeding, the entire pig head was chopped off by him in one stroke.

It made Hinako Inui subconsciously touch her own neck, worried her own head might also fall off.

Killing pigs, killing chickens, killing ducks, killing fish————

The Polar Star Trio advanced abreast, the other empty cooking stations were also gradually put to use by them.

During this, students occasionally brought things back.

Upon discovering their cooking stations being used by others, they were originally somewhat displeased and wanted to protest.

But after Broly walked over and conducted a friendly negotiation with them, most students accepted the ingredient compensation o

Honestly, that sixty-plus jin of Kagoshima Black Pig lard, it's still very attractive, a top-grade raw material for increasing fat fragrance.

"No way, we only just caught the ducks back, how did they process so many chickens, ducks, and fish in such a short time?"

Takumi Aldini originally wanted to show off his knife skills, but before he could show them off, they'd already been killed instantly like a roadside stray by a certain Saiyan's knife skills.

The half-moon kitchen knife came out, no one in the venue looked this way even once, everyone was watching the three tending over a dozen stoves.

Over an hour, dishes came out of the pot continuously, while other students were still busy making their own dishes, Broly's side had already started acting as food critics.

Ostensibly to taste and submit the best assignment dish, actually embezzling public funds to satisfy their own gluttony.

Soma Yukihira and Tadokoro Megumi were also led astray, both holding bowls and chopsticks tasting their own dishes, Hinako Inui waited and waited on the side, discovered those three only cared about eating themselves, couldn't help but stand up, holding bowls and chopsticks walking over: "Let me taste too."

", Hinako-san, but we haven't picked out the best dish yet."

Tadokoro Megumi with braised pork sauce on the corner of her mouth, subconsciously said.

"No problem, as long as there's a dish that satisfies me, I'll count you as passing."

Joking, she'd drunk tea on the side until her stomach was empty, still had to watch others eat dishes that looked good at a glance, if that's not torture what is.

She didn't want to be tortured, eat first as respect.

"But we haven't sorted out who made which dish."

"Whoever made it is fine, anyway I saw your whole cooking process, back kitchen execution capability is absolutely qualified.

, this fried pork cutlet is really delicious, and this pork bone ramen tastes amazing, dry fried sweetfish is also not bad————"

Hinako Inui was satisfied, other students only felt the pressure increase.

Cooking exam, a starving examiner and an already well-fed examiner, the grading standards might not be the same.

"Bad, pan-fried too long."

Some people panicked, and panic easily leads to mistakes.

"My my, this batch of students' psychological pressure resistance is really not good, hope they can make dishes that satisfy me within the time limit, otherwise, I'll only be able to tearfully eliminate them."

As she said this, Hinako Inui ate another salt and pepper fried mushroom, the satisfied expression revealed on her face, one always feels she thinks the pressure on site still isn't enough, continuing to pile on intensity for the other students.

A smiling examiner tasting dishes, a group of students busy like ants on a hot pan, in a trance, it seemed like a hell scroll of evil ghosts supervising little ghosts working.

And comments like 【Unqualified】, 【Eliminated】, were the cruel sentences sending some little ghosts who made mistakes in their busyness into the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
