Chapter 378

"Don't be too impatient, I've also thought about what dish I intend to make. I won't lose this bet!"

He also saw the look in Soma Yukihira's eyes when he looked at the bacon before, but unfortunately, he didn't even have meat ingredients like bacon here.

Minezaki probably didn't notice that the topic she proposed dug a big hole for herself.

"Delicious and juicy meat dish," simply put, is a dish that needs to have a meat taste, and it doesn't necessarily have to be made with meat.

Looking at the soybeans he just bought in the morning, an idea also emerged in Wen Shengzai's mind, and soon he walked into the kitchen under Minezaki's surprised gaze.

Seeing Wen Shengzai also walk into the kitchen with a bag of things, Minezaki was obviously more nervous than seeing Soma Yukihira enter the kitchen just now.

Because she was too worried and curious about what Wen Shengzai intended to do, this proud-figured lady, after hesitating for a moment, also followed Wen Shengzai and wanted to enter the kitchen.

However, it was a pity that she was blocked by Wen Shengzai just as she reached the kitchen door.

"Minezaki-san, don't you know the principle that the kitchen is a restricted area and idlers are not allowed to enter?

Every chef has their own unique cooking method, and you are neither my relative nor my disciple, just a customer, so it's better to wait outside now."

Wen Shengzai's words directly left Minezaki unable to refute. After all, in this culinary world, everything related to cuisine is above everything else. This is just like the tennis in the Prince of Tennis world and the Duel Monsters in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world; world rules are above everything else.

So after being rejected by Wen Shengzai, although Minezaki was extremely unwilling, she could only obediently wait in the lobby.

"Are you really sure that the meat ingredients in these two shops were all processed by you?"

Minezaki bit her finger, looking at Wen Shengzai's busy figure in the kitchen, her face was also filled with an uneasy expression at this moment, and she even regretted being too hasty in agreeing to Wen Shengzai's bet before.

If something went wrong with the land acquisition, she would at most lose her job, but if she lost the bet with Wen Shengzai this time, she would lose a large sum of money.

Such a private bet, the company couldn't pay for her, so once she lost, she would not only lose her job, but if it was serious, she might even have to go to the sea to pay off her debts...

What? You say just breach the contract? I'm sorry, just like everything in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world can be solved by playing cards, in this world, as long as it's related to cuisine, it's sacred!

Although it's not a food war duel, it also involves the dignity of the chef and the soul of the cuisine, so no matter who wins or loses, the other party must abide by the agreement. This is the rule of this culinary world.

And just when Minezaki was looking at Wen Shengzai's busy figure in the kitchen with a nervous face, Soma Yukihira, who entered the kitchen first, walked out with his dish at this moment.

"Then please taste my dish, Yukihira restaurant's special crispy roast meat."

Looking at the dish in front of her that was emitting fragrance and overflowing with meat juice, Minezaki's face also showed an incredible expression.

Then, when she used the silver fork on the table to slightly press the roast meat on the plate and used another table knife to cut the roast meat into small pieces, she was shocked to find that what was roasted to be exceptionally crispy was only the surface layer of the roast meat.

As for the center of the roast meat, at this moment, it was not only fragrant with meat, but also looked like a meat dish roasted to perfection, making people's appetite stirred.

Being unable to resist the temptation brought by gourmet food in the culinary world seems to be one of the world's rule settings.

So although Minezaki's mouth was quite hard, her body was quite honest. In the end, under the control of her hands, she still slowly cut off a piece of "roast meat" and sent it into her mouth.

The moment the "roast meat" entered her mouth, Minezaki instantly felt the crispy surface layer of the roast meat and the inner layer of "roast meat" that emitted a special fragrance, almost perfectly fitting together.

Just after eating the first mouthful of "crispy roast meat," she couldn't help but move, and with a flushed face, she intended to taste the second mouthful.

The reason Minezaki specifically asked to eat a meat dish, besides being a meat-eater herself, was also because the dish she tasted with her leader at the Totsuki graduate restaurant before was a smoked steak dish.

Although she only ate it once, that taste made Minezaki unforgettable to this day, and it also made her think from that time on that top-tier cuisine only appears in the hands of star chefs in high-end restaurants.

But just now, when eating the dish served by Soma Yukihira, Minezaki was surprised to find that the impact brought by the taste of this dish cooked by this slightly immature boy was not inferior to the dishes at the Totsuki graduate restaurant!

"Click——————!"

Because her appetite had been stirred, Minezaki originally wanted to fork up the second piece of roast meat, but soon she found that the fork in her hand directly missed.

As for the reason, it was because the dish she had just eaten a mouthful of had already been taken away by Soma Yukihira again.

"If you want to continue eating, you at least have to admit that the dish I made meets the requirements you proposed before."

Soma Yukihira didn't want to be eaten clean by Minezaki without admitting it, so he was also taking his dish away first at this moment.

Minezaki wanted to say hard that Soma Yukihira's dish was average, or even very unpalatable.

But when the words reached her lips, she found that she couldn't say such words at all.

In this culinary world, gourmet food is the ultimate pursuit for humans. It would have been fine if she hadn't eaten it before, but now that she had eaten a mouthful, the gluttonous worm had been instantly stirred up. For her to give up just like that was simply more painful than killing her!

You're halfway through, and you suddenly say you won't do it. What is Minezaki, who just had a feeling, supposed to do?

"How did you do it? As far as I know, there shouldn't be any other meat ingredients in your shop, right?

In the situation of lack of ingredients, how did you make such a dish, and this taste is not even inferior to the high-end restaurants I've been to."

Under the temptation of gourmet food, Minezaki finally surrendered, and while devouring Soma Yukihira's "crispy roast meat," Minezaki also asked the biggest question in her heart.

"Actually, the 'crispy roast meat' you ate is not real roast meat, or to be precise, only the outer layer is meat.

You should have noticed it too, the texture of this crispy roast meat is different from ordinary roast meat. Although it is also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, even the best meat cannot be so rotten that it melts in one bite.

Besides the crispy skin on the outside, which is wrapped in thick-cut bacon, the whole of this roast meat is actually made of mashed potatoes."
