In fact, when a plate of Magical Mapo Tofu appeared without reservation, it signaled that a new taste experience was about to be unleashed.
This experience was more concrete than at any other time!
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't even feel nauseous drinking water."
Before long, Nagiri Mana finally came to her senses.
The long-suppressed appetite was like a raging red flame burning in her heart…
And that glistening, lustrous Magical Mapo Tofu lingered in her mind, unforgettable every time she thought of it!
"Sosuke, can… can you give me another plate?"
Patting her stomach, Nagiri Mana felt like she still wanted to eat, so she looked up and asked Sosuke expectantly.
"No problem, but considering your physique, and that it's not advisable to eat so many heavy-flavored dishes at night."
"I'll make a smaller portion this time, and give you an extra bowl of rice!"
"Mm-hmm, as you wish."
"Okay, then please wait a moment again."
The ingredients and some necessary conditions for the Magical Mapo Tofu dish are easier to obtain than those for Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain.
Therefore, Sosuke can make it frequently, but this dish is not suitable for the frail Nagiri Mana to eat too much.
…
Night deepened!
At Totsuki Culinary Academy, due to the Practical Training activity.
Over 1000 freshmen had gone to the Far Moon Resort for training, so it was quieter and more desolate than usual.
Suddenly, a black car stopped abruptly in front of the school gate, and then a mature woman with lingering charm slowly stepped out.
"Hm, finally here."
"I wonder how much Totsuki Culinary Academy has changed now?"
On a clear, fair face, her watery eyes were like autumn ripples, very charming.
The faint light shone on her soft, silvery-white long hair, which from a distance looked like a waterfall. It was tied up with a crystal hairpin, and the strands naturally fell, brushing past her ears, unintentionally adding a touch of charm!
Although the light was not very good, making it impossible to clearly see her true appearance.
But on her, a unique exotic charm and temperament could be clearly felt.
Finally, the mature woman did not pause for too long. She straightened her clothes and began to walk with light steps towards the interior of Totsuki Culinary Academy.
…
"Tired, so tired!"
"It's already 10 PM, they won't make us continue the assessment like yesterday, will they?"
Meanwhile, at the Far Moon Resort.
In the lobby of the five-star hotel Yue Yuan Li Gong, Yoshino Yuki was so tired she collapsed to the ground.
Recalling the two days of training, she felt utterly despairing.
Although today's elimination rate was much lower than yesterday, it should be known that those students with lower aptitudes must have been eliminated early on, and the students who survived until now were naturally all extraordinary in strength!
Therefore, even if stricter assessment content and conditions were adopted, the elimination rate would definitely not increase instantly.
"Megumi, I heard about today's breakfast topic."
"Was the examiner in your First Kitchen the Shinomiya senpai who always wears a sour face?"
After complaining for a while, Yoshino Yuki, physically and mentally exhausted, could only stand up again and ask Tadokoro Megumi curiously.
"It was indeed Shinomiya senpai." Tadokoro Megumi still had lingering fears recalling the assessment that morning.
"Wow, then… then you actually managed to pass his assessment?"
Yoshino was surprised to hear this.
"Barely passed, I guess?"
"Anyway, it was an assessment with a scare but no danger, that's right."
"But if possible, I really don't want to encounter him again in the upcoming assessments!"
Tadokoro Megumi replied helplessly.
"Sigh, he indeed isn't that easy to deal with. I guess you had a tough time this morning!"
She vaguely remembered that on the first day, her examiner was Shinomiya Kojiro. How desperate and nervous she was then, Yoshino Yuki could empathize the most.
Finally, she collected herself slightly, only patting Tadokoro Megumi's shoulder and saying thoughtfully.
…
Just as the entire lobby was filled with a noisy atmosphere, Gin Dojima, the Chef Director, appeared again.
He looked at the students who had undergone two days of training, saw their faces filled with fatigue, and nodded in satisfaction, then took the microphone and said: "Everyone, congratulations on passing the second day of training!"
"What does that mean?"
"We… we don't have to be assessed today?"
"Yay, now we can take a shower early and go back to our rooms to sleep!"
"Wuwuwu, I thought I would lose my life tonight, dying of exhaustion at the assessment site, but I never expected it to end."
Upon hearing this news, all the tired students erupted.
After all, with their current mental and physical condition, they really couldn't endure another assessment.
"Quiet, I'm not finished speaking." Gin Dojima motioned for everyone present not to be so excited, then continued loudly: "Now, I will announce the breakfast topic for the third day."
"Starting tomorrow morning at 7 AM, the resort, which has been closed for two days, will officially reopen to the public. There will be many guests coming here to play, estimated to be around 2000 people."
"And your task is to make breakfast for these tourists."
"Then, the breakfast topic will have two rigid judging standards."
"The first is that the main ingredient can only be eggs. You can only make breakfast dishes centered around eggs."
"The second assessment standard is that within 2 hours, each of you must produce at least 200 servings. Students who cannot sell 200 or more servings of breakfast will be considered failing and will be expelled!"
As soon as his words fell, all the students were silent, completely stunned!
They couldn't understand why tomorrow's breakfast topic had to be announced tonight, and its assessment content was even more difficult than ever before.
"Eggs? Just using eggs to make breakfast, and having to sell 200 servings?"
"This… isn't this deliberately making things difficult for us?"
"Making things difficult?"
"No, you have to understand."
"It's 10 PM sharp now, and there are still 9 hours until tomorrow's breakfast assessment. You actually have plenty of time to think about how to do it."
Gin Dojima swept his gaze around, then showed a faint smile and said softly.
"This… this is your intention?"
With the words so direct, even these foolish students understood. It turned out… this was to make them sleepless all night!
So, they reacted and began to head towards the back kitchen of Yueyuan Rimiya Hotel, preparing in advance to develop breakfast made from eggs. (End of Chapter)
