"Finally there is a class where I can be the top student."
After tying the apron he had been handed out, Aikawa Yusei said with a slight satisfaction as he looked at the recipes on the cover of the ppt on the podium: teriyaki rice balls, croquettes, cheese tofu, and grilled eggplant.
It is May 13th, the second day of training, Friday morning.
After eating the breakfast provided by Qifengzhuang, the three classes were told to make their own lunch in the morning.
Sakura Kongfeng also tied up her apron very skillfully. After hearing these words, she glanced at Aikawa Yusheng and commented: "The hot sauce you made is not bad."
It seems that she did not let the hot sauce eat ashes after accepting it, but tasted it.
"It's just not delicious? Isn't it very delicious?" Aikawa Yusheng was unhappy and declared: "Wait, my cooking skills at that time were not exquisite enough. I am different now. The person I am today must be
To conquer your stomach."
"Have you cooked anything since Monday?"
"No."
"Then what's so exquisite?" Shangying Kongfeng's handsome head tilted slightly, with a hint of 'puzzle' in her eyes.
"...."
"I call it theoretical basis!"
Aikawa Yusheng, who was speechless, held a knife in front of his eyes, the tip of the knife pointed directly at Yingkongfeng, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit - definitely not out of anger.
"Aikawa! You can't point a knife at others. It's very dangerous. Put it away quickly."
Someone suddenly punched him in the back. After hearing the voice of Itoikawa Marei, Aikawa Yuo decisively put the knife back on the chopping board, turned around and said respectfully:
"I know I was wrong, Mr. Uigawa, but I just went to Sakura-san and she questioned my cooking skills. This made me very angry. I just wanted to scare her.
Teacher, you have also seen that the tip of my knife is at least half a meter away from her, and I really have no idea of doing anything. Please don’t arrest me and put me in jail. I have seniors and juniors, and three generations depend on me alone...
"
The defense did not yield good results. Before he could finish his words, he received another punch on the shoulder. Itoigawa Marei laughed and cursed:
"They are all talking about some crooked things, and they also say 'there are seniors at the top and young at the bottom'. Make good food. If you really think you are good at cooking, treat me to a meal later."
"No problem, as long as the teacher promises me that after eating, he won't pester me to cook for you every day because he thinks it's too delicious. If such a thing happens, I think the relationship between the two of us will be beyond the limit.
They are just ordinary teachers and students.”
"You, you." Itoigawa Maaei pressed her temples with a headache, and pointed at Aikawa Yusheng with her finger, "If your grades don't improve, you can just wait to live a boring high school life."
"No, teacher, let's talk about cooking. Why are you suddenly mentioning studying?"
"The teacher is just reminding you."
"Okay teacher, goodbye teacher."
After Iokawa Marei left, Aikawa Yusheng used his finger instead of the knife and pointed at Sakura Kongfeng again.
"Heh." The only response I received was a slightly disdainful chuckle.
Good monsters don't fight with miko. Aikawa Yusheng turns his attention to the two people on the other side. Miyazawa Mao is helping Tianga Natsori tie her apron.
"Miyazawa-san, have you ever cooked?"
"With a little bit of knowledge, I will help my mother at home."
"Very good, that makes me feel relieved." Aikawa Yusheng faced forward.
"Hey, Mr. Aikawa, why didn't you ask me?" Tianhe Xia Li asked with his hands on his hips.
"It's hard for me to believe that a girl with basically zero cooking utensils in the kitchen can cook. So now, can Miss Tianhe cook?"
After sighing and turning his head, Aikawa Yusheng looked at the girl sideways and said.
I noticed on the day I delivered the strawberries that Tianhe Xiali’s family even brought only one pair of chopsticks and spoons - probably for use when eating takeout.
"Okay, okay, I really don't know how."
With no trace of confidence left in him, Tianhe Xia Li spit out her pink tongue like a letter and then retracted it, adding a touch of sparkle to her cherry-colored lips.
"It's up to you today!"
◇
"There are so many production steps and processes. Do you understand?" After briefly explaining the process, the cooking teacher asked on the stage.
There was basically no response from the audience, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
In the first grade of high school, the school's cooking class has not yet started, and there are really not many people who are good at cooking. Most of them still live with their elders at home, and they do not need to be responsible for their own food.
The cooking teacher was not surprised. He opened the podium to reveal the projector inside and placed a set of ingredients on it:
"Then let's follow the teacher and I will teach you step by step."
"Hi!"
...
"Shall we cook it ourselves? I know the general method of making these dishes. Even if I don't follow the teacher's instructions, the production will not be much different."
After following a few steps, it was time to wait again. A somewhat bored Aikawa Yusheng asked the three of them.
This step-by-step process is so slow that the cooking teacher has to wait for all students to complete this step before proceeding to the next step.
I understand the need for this, but it is a waste of time for this group.
"Um."
"Okay, I think it's too slow."
Tianhe Xia Li spread his hands to express that his opinion was not important.
"Shang Ying, please cut the potatoes into slices and then press them into puree. Let's start cooking a few dishes together. Miyazawa-san, you can slice the eggplant first. Tianhe, you are responsible for waiting for the poison test..."
Aikawa Yusheng looked at the ingredients on the chopping board and assigned tasks to the two people in an orderly manner.
The three of them started making the food.
...
Finding that there was not enough rice to make teriyaki rice balls, Aikawa Yusheng stood up and planned to go to the public pot to make rice.
Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Tianhe Xia Li.
Wearing an apron, he stood aside, looking a little at a loss. He pressed his hands on the edge of the table and tapped silently with his fingers. His eyes wandered from the big screen and the two busy people on the table who were already far behind.
It seems like he wants to participate.
Then why didn't you say it? Aikawa Yusheng thought that with her temperament, she would tell her directly whether she wanted something or not.
Is she afraid of causing trouble for us? No... She must not be afraid of causing trouble for herself.
That was probably because Aikawa Yusheng, who was afraid of causing trouble to them and had some understanding of the girl, had guessed the result.
"Tianhe, go and get two bowls of rice from the public rice cooker. I don't have much room for you here." Aikawa Yusheng 'mixed' the sauce, raised his head and said to Tianhe Xia Li.
"Ah? Oh." After being stunned for a moment because it was too sudden, Tianhe Xia Li took the bowl from Aikawa Yusheng's hand and trotted forward to get rice.
"Tianhe, open the lactone tofu. You don't need to use your hands. Just use a knife to cut it on all four sides. Be careful with your hands."
"Took it out, right? Cover it with a piece of cheese, just the yellow one. Microwave it on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. The high heat button is on..."
"Is it heated? Wear gloves and take it out. Then pour the sauce I prepared on it. The cheese tofu is just that simple."
Aikawa Yusheng took a spoon and took a mouthful of tofu with brushed cheese. Tianhe Xiali pretended not to care - and nodded while looking at himself with his peripheral vision attentively:
"It tastes good, Sakura, Miyazawa-san, come over and try it. When it cools down, the cheese will become sticky and it won't taste good."
.......
"Tianhe, I'm a little tired. You are responsible for frying the chopped onions and bacon in this pot. Just keep stirring. When I tell you to add black pepper, just shake it three times."
"Oh, San Dou is here, right?"
"Tianhe, I'm not good at this, please help me put seaweed on this rice ball."
"My bag doesn't look good."
"It doesn't look good? How can it be uglier than the one I made? Look at the one in my hand. It's simply horrible. Besides, we don't make it for sale. It doesn't matter whether it's ugly or not. This is called enough food.
"
"Tianhe..."
"Coming~"
Tianhe Xia Li is not stupid, so when she is constantly being 'ordered' and 'troubled', she smiles particularly brightly.
She feels that she has taken a big, big step towards success.
The important thing is to repeat it three times.
◇
At noon, there are especially many people going to the shops to buy bread and instant noodles.
It is conceivable that there may be some 'small' problems with their preparation of the food in the morning, to the extent that it is difficult to swallow or impossible to eat at all.
I don’t know how to do it. Even though the teacher demonstrated it step by step, it was difficult for Aikawa Yuo to understand.
"Is this a deliberate arrangement by Qi Fengzhuang to guide us to buy instant noodles here? We should have fallen into a trap." In the room, Takamatsu Junshan, who was slurping noodles, said depressedly. He is one of the people who is difficult to understand.
one.
"Damn it, how can cooking be so difficult?"
"You can throw things that are still alive directly into the microwave. This is no longer a category of cooking, but a category of intelligence."
Aikawa Yusheng, who was lying on the tatami watching anime, laughed unceremoniously.
Their group had a very full meal. They were originally taught relatively simple cooking, plus the three of them knew it, and the cooking level of Shang Yingkongfeng was probably a little higher than mine.
But this is only the current matter, Aikawa Yusheng is confident to surpass her.
"..." This sentence made Takamatsu Junshan somewhat silent. The only sound in the room was the sound of slurping noodles. "...That was an accident."
"Admit it, Takamatsu, even if you are mentally retarded, I am still willing to be your friend."
"You are not qualified to mock me for being the 137th in my year. There is a gap between the two of us." Takamatsu Junzan said, throwing the pillow at hand towards Aikawa Yusheng.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the flying pillow. Aikawa Yusheng opened it with a punch and dropped it to the ground outside the tatami. He turned over lazily and said:
"Just wait, I will surpass you next time."
"What should I do if I can't pass next time? I also have Aikawa-chan who is working hard!"
"Then let's do it next time."
"?" Takamatsu Junshan suddenly blocked what he wanted to say, "How come you have no ambition at all? You won't be able to surpass me in the 137th place next time."
"Then next time, by the way, No. 137, your pillow fell to the floor, and it seems to have fallen on top of the water from the hot water bottle when you were making noodles."
Aikawa Yusheng pointed to the pillow on the ground and said.
"It's okay. As for Nishio's pillow, the cotton pillow, just pick it up and dry it out later." Takamatsu Junshan waved his hand indifferently.
The door was opened and Nishio Yoji walked in.
"Little..." Before Aikawa Yusei could say his "heart", Nishio Yoji stepped on the pillow. Fortunately, he didn't fall.
"Damn, I'm sorry, whose pillow is this?" He looked at the two of them with a wet pillow covered with a huge footprint.
Aikawa Yusheng and Takamatsu Junshan bowed their heads.
◇
"There is no hope for the afternoon. It will definitely be boring. It seems that we can only look forward to the courage test in the evening." Nishio Yoji, who was riding on Takamatsu Kimiyama's back, looked at his mobile phone and said.
"Do you know the arrangements for the afternoon and evening?" Aikawa Yusheng raised his head and asked. At the same time, he saw the tragic situation of Takamatsu Junshan and was forced to change the pillows. He felt pitiful and shook his head.
"Teacher Itoigawa just posted it in the group. In the afternoon, it will be 'Etiquette Training for Mingchuan Students'. The name sounds boring. In the evening, it will be the 'Courage Testing Conference.' I am still asking in the class group if any of my classmates are willing to be NPCs.
This must be interesting."
Nishio Yoji was reading the messages in the group, and Aikawa Yuo suddenly noticed that he had set up a message pop-up window blocker when he was watching the show.
"A test of courage? I'm starting to get excited! I'm a brave man who has defeated countless demon kings." Takamatsu Kimiyama, who was lying on his back, raised his head and punched Nishio Yoji in the butt. "Can you get off me? Aikawa is also partly responsible.
Well, why didn't I see you beat him up?"
"You didn't see Aikawa's strength last night. It was so scary. I almost pushed him to the ground." Nishio Yoji said with lingering fear, "So I can only pinch the persimmon softly."
"Last night? Strength? Pushed to the ground? You two didn't do anything while we were sleeping, right? Holy shit, it's disgusting."
"ah--!"
Someone's heart-wrenching screams were heard in the room, and it was so tragic.
◇
"It's hard to be polite."
Aikawa Yusheng rubbed his eyes and looked at the girls on both sides, letting his eyes, which had been staring at the screen for nearly an hour and a half, take a break by looking at beautiful girls.
Beautiful girl is much easier to use than green.
It is now the intermission time for the ‘Mingchuan Students Etiquette Training’ in the afternoon, and the second round of etiquette training will be held in ten minutes.
The training content was very complicated. In addition to basic school etiquette - how to wear school uniforms correctly and how to say hello to teachers when you see them, it also taught more etiquette outside school - shaking hands, apologizing, and even what to do in polite situations.
But I learned one thing - I only learned the outer movements of the lady's priority at that time, and the details were not in place.
Aikawa Yusheng listened very carefully, but it was indeed a bit boring.
Shangying Kongfeng just nodded lightly, while Tianhe Xiali just woke up from her sleep.
"Is it over?" The girl, who was awakened by the noise of her classmates going to the toilet, asked sleepily.
"Not yet, it's only half way. I will talk for another hour and a half later."
"Then you can sleep again." The sleepy girl put her head in her arms again, "Recharge your batteries and scare Aikawa-kun to death at night."
"If there is any change in our expressions between Kamiya and I, we will lose." Aikawa Yusheng said disdainfully.
Natsuri Amaga and Mao Miyazawa actually signed up as NPCs for the courage test competition, which Aikawa Yuo did not expect.
"What's the punishment for losing?"
"You win."
"Hey——, we'll see..." Tianhe Xia Li murmured and fell asleep again.
◇
"Let's all come together in groups. The safe word is 'five trees'. If you are scared and feel that you can't hold on anymore, just shout this word, and the staff and NPCs will take off their costumes and bring the students back."
Students with heart disease must not play..."
After dinner, at seven o'clock, when the stars and moonlight appeared, everyone was called out of the room, and the teacher began to explain the rules.
"In this day and age, do the trendy ghosts look like this?" Aikawa Yusheng asked Kamikawa Kongfeng while holding the "ghost" photos he searched for on his mobile phone.
The bloody limbs filling the screen and the distorted facial features of the 'ghost' made Shangying Kongfeng frown slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes, and he nodded:
"Yeah, but tonight it's definitely not going to be like this. They just put on a leather suit and then suddenly jumped out or something like that."
"That's it, I also want to see something like this on the mobile phone." Aikawa Yusheng had some regret on his face.
"It's time to go."
The teacher at the starting point looked at the message on his phone and said to Sakura Kongfeng and Aikawa Yusheng - there were not four people to fill in because someone became an NPC.
Nodding to the teacher, the two of them set off in the direction pointed by the road sign.
"Why are you so cautious?" Shangying Kongfeng looked at the very wary Aikawa Yusheng next to him and asked with some doubts.
"I'm afraid that Tianhe will take advantage of me." Aikawa Yusheng looked around carefully and replied. "By the way, if Tianhe uses any magic, you have to remove it."
"I know." Shang Yingkongfeng sighed.
"Woooooooo-" A ghost suddenly ran out from behind the tree at the corner. Perhaps he was too nervous, or perhaps the ground was uneven, and suddenly knelt down in front of the two people.
"...."
The two people and the ghost were silent for a while, then the ghost climbed up from the ground, baring its teeth and claws.
"..." Silence again.
"This voice shouldn't be that, and she shouldn't use it in such a boring way. Let's go." Aikawa Yusheng shook his head.
"Um."
The two people bypassed the ghost and continued to follow the road signs.
ghost:"?"
How come the expressions of these two people didn't even change at all? I felt a bit embarrassed as a 'ghost' - even though I had already lost all my face when I fell.
...
A ghost jack-o-lantern suddenly fell from the sky and floated in front of the two people.
Aikawa Yusheng's nose almost hit him. He pulled away in disgust and saw the silk thread on the jack-o'-lantern. Following the thread, he saw the staff on the tree.
"Good evening, please be safe and don't fall." Pushing the pumpkin lantern away, the two of them continued to move forward.
...
Butcher, figure in the grass...
"Congratulations, you successfully passed the level."
The teacher at the finish line raised the lantern and said to the two people.
Looking ahead, we see a large number of classmates who have gone ahead, chatting enthusiastically about their recent experiences. Looking back, we see another 'ghost' who was injured by the two of them without any trouble.
"...."
It was Aikawa Yusheng's turn to be silent.
He didn't meet Tianhe Xia Li along the way.
"The way Tianhe tried to scare me, wouldn't it make me think she was missing?" Aikawa Yusheng was a little confused and turned to ask Shang Yingkongfeng.
"I don't know." Shang Yingkongfeng shook his head.
"Where are you?" Aikawa Yusheng asked Tianhe Xia Li on the line.
"Miyazawa Mao was frightened by the first wave of classmates who appeared. I am taking care of her."
"...."
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
"It doesn't matter, it's not important. What's important is that we will go enjoy the night later, just the two of us, don't forget it."
"I haven't forgotten."
Aikawa Yusheng sighed, and after replying to the message, he put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the sky, feeling helpless and depressed for his own caution.
