late at night.

The hotel where the research team is located.

The TV is playing the replay of the food halberd from Area A to Area A today.

In front of the sofa, Nakirishi sat upright with his legs crossed, half of his face hidden in the shadow, and he couldn't see what his expression was.

“Gagahahahahahahaha…”

Funny laughter spread from afar in the hotel lobby.

snort!

Having heard it back and forth countless times, Nakiri Thistle finally got bored and made a cold nasal sound. He pressed the remote control to turn off the TV.

"Why, can't you sit still?"

A burly figure stood in the shadows at some point, quietly staring at Nakiri Thistle.

This is Lei Zhe, a giant in the study of Pailin. He had obviously just taken a bath and was surrounded by a white bath towel, which would not prevent the giant from being as majestic as a mountain.

"Can't sit still? Hoho!"

Nakirishi smiled disdainfully, "He is at most a No. 3 among the special members of Yuanyue... And I, for you, guard this participating team, you deserve the No. 1!"

"What should you do if the Yuanyue team beat the Orlando team?" Lei Zhe looked at him expressionlessly.

"According to the agreement, the food halberd is established!"

Nakiriki Shizuki made a decisive move: "I will win the team in the semi-district final!"

"You'd better not lose!"

Lei Zhe's tone was not fluctuating, and he said indifferently: "No. 1 vs. No. 3. If we lose, our team will also be defeated, which is equivalent to giving up the champion in Area A.—"

Nakiri Thistle heard the warning and was secretly awe-inspiring.

lose?

It doesn't exist!

...

The next day.

The Okurayama Villa where Yuanyue’s team stayed welcomed two distinguished guests one after another, both of whom were women.

"Tang Yuqiong?"

“…Elizabeth?”

Tang Yuqiong, who was wearing a shirt, jeans and a baseball cap, stared at Elizabeth, who was fluttering in a long dress and fluttering blonde hair at the villa gate. The two seemed to have known each other and were hostile to each other, staring at each other without giving in.

Erina Nakiri was a crowd of people watching, with a faint smile on her lips.

"I'm very sorry, I'll report to you. He is practicing in the kitchen and has no time to entertain you. Please come back-" Erina took on the role of passing the microphone.

Elizabeth was naturally unwilling to leave like this. Last night, in order to express her response to Yuanyue’s team’s public matchup, the members also posted arrangements on their personal blogs. Elizabeth was determined to have a match with Xia Yu, so she took a taxi out early.

"Then tell him that I'm here to challenge him!" she shouted, completely ignoring the shock of others.

"challenge?!"

Erina didn't say anything, but Tang Yuqiong had already shouted: "You?"

"You defeat me first-"

Tang Yuqiong took a step forward, blocked the door of the villa himself, and became the door god, "Only if you defeat me, you will be qualified to challenge him!"

"you……"

Nakirina closed the door with a slam, glanced at the two glaring women outside the door, and muttered: "There are problems with these two people."

Second floor, kitchen.

Waiting.

The pan made a boiling sound of grease.

Xia Yu expressed her expression intently, and carefully put a piece of "gemite meat" on the plate into a pot with olive oil.

When Zhu Qing opened the door and came in, she saw Xia Yuka's ceasefire and took out the 'Gem Meat' not long after putting it in the pot. She smelled the strong fragrance that was like a smoke bomb from the taboo ingredients, and approached the cooking table and said, "This is..."

Sniffing the smell is swallowing.

This female chef Lin could not resist the temptation of taboo ingredients.

"As you can see." Xia Yu glanced at the aunt who broke in, and continued to frown and stared at the slightly golden gem meat, feeling a little tricky in the face of priceless treasures. "It's too fragile, and the firepower will burn a little, and it will be destroyed by one... you must be careful!"

"Where did you get this kind of ingredients?!" Zhu Qing asked tremblingly.

"A food mercenary sold me, oh, his name is Jinda Shun."

Xia Yu casually whispered and tricked the mercenary uncle. It is worth mentioning that two days ago, Jintian Shun secretly transported the meat of the Five-Headed Birds and the eggs of the Five-Headed Birds to the ingredient warehouse of the Okura Mountain Villa. Only Xia Yu himself knew the specific storage location.

“Is there any more?”

Zhu Qing licked her lips and asked eagerly.

"Not much-" Xia Yu replied.

"Are you going to use taboo ingredients to deal with the semi-finals?" Zhu Qing resisted the commotion that Qizhen wanted to plunder, patted her hot forehead, and calmed her pounding heart as soon as possible. After a while, she took the initiative to change the topic and said: "Do you know the opponent in the semi-finals? The number 3 character of Orlando team, Mas!"

“Um…”

Xia Yu stuttered casually, suddenly twisted the valve, and the stove ignited a faint blue flame again.

He grabbed the plate and planned to put the 'Gem Meat' that had been left to stand for a while in the pan and fry it again. Unexpectedly, he grabbed it for nothing. My aunt Zhu Qing took away the ceramic plate. Xia Yu's forehead veins and said, "Hey, don't make trouble!"

Zhu Qing jumped away and frowned and said, "You are wasting taboo ingredients! You understand!"

"It's mine to ruin it! I don't feel sorry!"

"Don't force me to do it!" Xia Yu was a little angry. He was controlling the heat before. This piece of 'Gem meat' was not used. "Give it to me quickly, and the heat will be beyond my control in another 10 seconds!"

Looking at Xia Yu's young face that gradually became angry, Zhu Qing was immediately suspicious.

"You can control taboo ingredients?"

"Give me--"

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and took back the plate. He was so flawless that the flawless "Gem Meat" was put into the pot again.

Zhu Qing looked around and opened her mouth slightly. In just a blink of an eye, Xia Yu turned over the "Gem Meat" in the pan at least several times. Every time he moved, he was extremely skillful and gentle, as if he was turning over a piece of fragile paper.

Strong fragrance occupies the kitchen.

"Guru"

Swallowed, and as Zhu Qing observed, the "Gemstone Meat" gradually became ripe.

Finally, sprinkle seasonings.

There is no need for any unique spices, just a little large grain of sea salt, sprinkle a handful of black pepper, put a bunch of rosemary when placing the plate, cut a few slices of lemon, and then a plate of "fried gem meat" is finished.

"System, let's identify it!" Xia Yu said in his heart at the moment when the plate was put in place.

“This portion of 'Sauce-Fried Gem Meat’ is 79%.

"It was detected that there was a mistake in the host's cooking, and it was recommended that the host strengthen the control of the heat!"

I'll go!

Xia Yu couldn't help but glared at his aunt who was sluggishing her saliva, "Sure enough, something went wrong!"

“What dish is this?”

Zhu Qing reluctantly pulled back his gaze.

"Fried gem meat..." Xia Yu replied, holding the plate and opening the kitchen door. The strong fragrance finally came out of the open door. He stepped towards the first-floor restaurant, and Zhu Qing followed him like a man.

When Natsuyu put down the plate in the villa restaurant, Gin Dojima, Ichiro Tatsuba, Soumi Nakiri and Roland Chapel were all attracted by the fragrance and opened the door and gathered in the restaurant.

Everyone's eyes locked in the source of the fragrance.

A beautiful piece of flawless gem meat with a slight glitter even in broad daylight, placed on a plain plate.

"Try it, my latest dish—"

Xia Yu unbuttoned his apron and greeted everyone at the same time.

Erina Nakiri covered her mouth at the dining table, with a stunning look in her eyes.

"What a beautiful meat!"

"Even after frying, the inner layer of fleshy fibers is still clearly visible, like transparent..."
