After all, a father knows his daughter best. Chef Kitajo saw from his daughter's expression towards the other party that his daughter seemed to have a crush on Satou, so he wanted to help her.
Miyoko Hojo naturally understood her father's intentions and couldn't help but blush. She felt that her father was being too meddlesome.
"Then, I will make a dish."
Satou said.
Miyazaki Ryūsei hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll wait and see how you can make a dish that surpasses this one."
Even if he was a Far Moon student, he didn't believe that someone so young could make a dish better than his own.
"Can I use everything in the kitchen?"
Satou asked.
"Of course, there are all kinds of Chinese cuisine ingredients and cooking utensils inside."
Chef Kitajo smiled slightly, then winked at his daughter.
Miyoko Hojo hesitated for a while and said, "Then I'll go help out."
"No problem."
Satou nodded.
Alice Nakiri also wanted to follow, but was suddenly pulled back by Chef Kitajo.
He said with a smile, "The Chinese cuisine kitchen is very greasy. It's better for a beautiful girl like you not to go in, otherwise you'll get the smell of oil smoke on you."
Alice Nakiri thought about it and felt that he made a lot of sense.
Because she was going on a date with Satou later, it definitely wouldn't be good to smell of oil smoke then.
Chef Kitajo immediately smiled, then winked at his chefs.
The chefs immediately smiled knowingly.
"Student, you're the young lady's classmate, right? Have you ever had this kind of candied fruit? I heard it's good for your skin if you eat more."
"Student, would you like a cup of tea? This is a beauty tea specially brought from China. It has a fragrant taste and can beautify your appearance. Please try it."
The chefs of Kitajo Restaurant enthusiastically brought out all sorts of delicious things to entertain Alice Nakiri.
"Ah, ah! Is this dried persimmon? They have it in Japan too. What kind of tea is this? It smells so good, can it really beautify me?"
As a foodie, Alice Nakiri was soon attracted by these things and kept asking questions like a curious baby.
"Miyoko, I can only help you this much. The rest you'll have to fight for yourself."
Chef Kitajo shook his head.
He also didn't expect that Miyoko, who was usually bold and decisive in her dealings, would become so hesitant when it came to her own feelings.
In his opinion, if you like a boy, why not just go for it boldly?
Meanwhile, Satou and Miyoko Hojo walked into the kitchen.
"Satou, what do you need help with?"
Miyoko Hojo asked.
"There should be tremella, longan, lotus seeds, and red dates here, right?"
Satou asked.
"Yes, there are."
Miyoko Hojo nodded. Kitajo Restaurant specialized in Chinese cuisine, so they definitely had these ingredients.
"Are you going to make Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup?"
Miyoko Hojo's beautiful eyes instantly widened, and she asked in disbelief.
This was just a very common homemade sweet soup. Was it really okay to use it against Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?
"Miyoko, soak the lotus seeds and red dates in hot water, then peel the longans."
Satou didn't explain anything, but directly instructed her.
"Okay, got it."
Although Miyoko Hojo was confused, she quickly got busy.
"Oh. Miss Alice is researching molecular cuisine, right? How avant-garde. By the way, do you want more of these mung bean cakes? Eat more."
Chef Kitajo placed a plate of mung bean cakes in front of her.
Alice Nakiri's mouth was stuffed with various pastries. She held a mung bean cake in her left hand and a wife cake in her right, eating with great relish.
At this moment, Satou finally finished making the dish and brought it out.
"Please taste it."
He glanced at Miyoko Hojo, who nodded and brought a bowl of the dish over.
Everyone at Kitajo Restaurant gathered around, wanting to see what kind of dish Satou had made.
"Is this your dish? Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup?"
Miyazaki Ryūsei immediately laughed, "Do you think I don't know what I'm looking at? This is just a very common Chinese dish that ordinary families can make, okay? How can a dish like this even dream of comparing to my Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
He felt that he had overestimated the Far Moon students.
Chef Kitajo also frowned. He had originally thought Satou would make some difficult dish, but he ended up making this one, which made him a little worried.
"Satou, is it okay?"
he asked.
"Yes, it's fine."
Satou nodded, then looked at the other party.
"How does it taste? Why don't you try it yourself?"
He smiled and said, "However, I suggest you taste your own dish first, and then taste mine. This way, you can highlight the strengths and weaknesses of both more clearly."
"I know without you telling me."
Miyazaki Ryūsei snorted lightly, first tasting a mouthful of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, then tasting Satou's Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup.
The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was warm and mellow, with a delicious taste. With one bite, the fresh flavors of various ingredients surged forth.
In contrast, Satou's dish had a completely different flavor.

The Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup was covered with a thick layer of ice, making it cold, refreshing, and exceptionally sweet and delicious.
"It's just ordinary Tremella soup, nothing special."
he said.
However, the next moment, his expression suddenly changed!
In a trance, he seemed to see a monstrous beast with a hideous and ugly face, pieced together from dozens of ingredients like sea cucumber, shark fin, abalone, chicken, and duck. Its limbs were of uneven length, looking very deformed.
And its opponent was a silver-armored swordsman holding a red longsword.
Soon, a fierce battle began.
Although the silver-armored swordsman was small, he was exceptionally agile. In contrast, the monster appeared extremely clumsy and bloated.
Suddenly, the swordsman jumped up and shouted, "Take this, my Red Date Sword!"
The flavors of five ingredients—tremella, lotus seeds, goji berries, etc.—were presented with incredible clarity and in an orderly fashion, like a harmonious symphony. The sweet and icy flavor, like a sharp sword, instantly defeated the monster he had haphazardly pieced together from ingredients!
"How could this be?"
He muttered to himself, never having imagined that the dish he made with so many precious ingredients would be defeated by such a simple dish!
