Chapter 425

"God damn betting on chastity! That is a battle where we bet on our integrity... ah phew, bet on our beliefs.

If I lose, I have to leave Totsuki Academy and accept the punishment of dropping out, and if that Meat Charm loses, she has to join the Rice Bowl Research Society."

"So that's it. Is it a Shokugeki with the freedom of a beautiful girl as a bet?

Then after that beautiful girl named Meat Charm joins the Rice Bowl Research Society, will you force her to do anything strange?"

Hearing Shengzai's words, a row of black lines instantly appeared on Yukihira Soma's forehead, and he looked at him angrily and said: "I said you guy, don't listen to their nonsense!

You just met Sakaki-kun and Yoshino-kun today, right? Why did you get their bad habits?"

"I don't have any strange ideas about that Meat Charm, and I'm not a member of the 'Rice Bowl Research Society'. The reason I fought on their behalf was just because I was unhappy with that woman Erina's approach!

With a high-and-mighty look, and even dividing cooking into different grades. As long as it is a dish that can bring happiness to people, it is a good dish, isn't it? How can there be so many high and low differences!"

The reason why Yukihira Soma doesn't like Fengqi is because her previous appearance was the same as Erina's now.

Even Nakiri Erina's approach is even more domineering and unreasonable.

A guy who wantonly tramples on other people's cooking dreams, what qualifications does she have to call herself a chef!

"I understand, your target is not that Meat Charm, but that young lady Erina, right?

It must be said, excluding the tsundere personality, young lady Erina is indeed quite good."

"So didn't I say, I basically..."

"I understand, I understand, you can't stand her behavior, wantonly trampling on other people's enthusiasm and dreams for cooking, right?

Standard protagonist lines and templates, but according to the general plot routine, enemies like you might end up together."

Yukihira Soma is too lazy to explain anything. He has seen it, Shengzai, this guy, is just using him to brush.

He and Erina will become a pair? This is simply a joke! Thinking of the other party's arrogant appearance, Yukihira Soma couldn't help feeling a chill when he thought that his future partner would be like this.

If there is really no choice, even if he, Yukihira Soma, is bent, he will absolutely not choose that kind of tsundere young lady!

"The opportunity is rare, and this time you brought the ingredients I need again, why don't you taste the rice bowl I made!"

Yukihira Soma always says Shengzai is internally rolling, but in fact, this guy is the one who is rolling the most internally.

Every time, whether he lost to him or Yukihira Joichiro, this guy would hide in the kitchen and try repeatedly.

Now that Shengzai, this cooking evaluator, has arrived, and good ingredients are already available, how could he not be itchy?

So in just thirty minutes, a "Chaliapin Steak Rice Bowl" exuding heat was placed on the table in front of Shengzai.

"Chaliapin Steak, it is said that a singer named Chaliapin was suffering from toothache, and to satisfy his request for tender steak, Chaliapin Steak was born."

Shengzai is good at the Chinese cooking at home, but as he said before, in order to be invincible, he also knows something about cooking in other areas.

When seeing the rice bowl Yukihira Soma served, Shengzai talked about the origin of this dish like a family treasure.

After picking up a piece of steak fried to golden yellow in the bowl with chopsticks and sending it into his mouth, Shengzai also slowly closed his eyes to taste it.

"The texture of the steak is indeed excellent, the outside is crispy and delicious, and the meat under the golden leather is also soft and juicy, and it also exudes a special fragrance.

When you were handling the steak, you should have coated it with minced onion, and finally used it to make sauce and poured it on it, right? This improved 'Chaliapin Steak Rice Bowl' is indeed unique in flavor.

But..."

Seeing that Shengzai could tell his handling method of the steak in one bite, and also gave a good evaluation, a smile appeared on Yukihira Soma's face, but it was interrupted by Shengzai's sudden "but".

No, this damn thing is talking with a big gasp! What but, you damn thing, say it!"

Shengzai first picked up a piece of steak in the bowl again, then looked at the rice in the bowl, and couldn't help looking at Yukihira Soma and said: "But... did you forget the meaning of rice bowl?"

"What does this mean? Is there a problem with my handling of the steak?"

Hearing Yukihira Soma's puzzled counter-question, Shengzai also sighed and shook his head: "I mean, are you too obsessed with the outcome between you and Meat Charm, so you forgot the primary and secondary?

The theme of your Shokugeki this time is to decide the winner with 'Rice Bowl with Meat as the Main Ingredient', right?

In other words, the meat ingredients used in the rice bowl are not limited to beef, and using other meat is also possible, right?

The reason why you chose beef is just because 'Mito Meat' in Meat Charm's family can provide very good quality beef, so you want to defeat her in the field she is best at, right?"

Facing the childhood friend who poked his mind, Yukihira Soma did not deny it. Anyway, he, Yukihira Soma, is strong all his life. Before losing to Shengzai for the first time, he could stir-fry seafood fried rice for several days in a row. What's the big deal about this kind of thing?

"Since I want to win, I naturally want to win the other party's convinced heart, so what does this have to do with what you just said?"

Seeing that Yukihira Soma hadn't reacted yet, Shengzai also tapped the rice bowl in front of him with chopsticks: "The relationship is huge! You have to make it clear, what you are comparing now is not steak cooking, but a rice bowl with meat as the main ingredient!

The existence of steak is just to make the rice bowl more delicious, not to consider the problem of steak blindly, while ignoring the original meaning of the rice bowl.

Fortunately, you guy are not a member of that Rice Bowl Research Society, otherwise if I were the president, I would definitely kick you out of the research society in the first time.

Could it be that in your eyes, rice bowl refers to that piece of steak on it? If so, why not just eat steak? Does rice have any meaning?"

Shengzai's words directly made Yukihira Soma stand there as if struck by lightning.

Because for Shengzai's words, he couldn't refute at all, and looked at his hands quite annoyedly. As a chef, he was too obsessed with distinguishing the winner in the meat duel, and forgot the meaning represented by the cooking itself.

"Simply put, you are too obsessed with studying the taste of steak, so that this dish has become a bit of a guest-stealing-the-host.

The rice itself is no longer worthy of the steak covered on it, which will make guests feel that the rice below is hard to swallow after eating the steak."
