Chapter 215: I Have Special Noodle Kneading Skills

Although he was kneading the dough, Hachiman didn't use a drop of water. Instead, he chose to use eggs as a binding agent.

Witnessing him swiftly crack eggs into the mixing bowl, Hachiman soon added over a dozen eggs. Then, rolling up his sleeves, he began to draw circles in the flour pile with both hands.

Starting from a small center portion, his hands circled wider and wider, gradually incorporating the surrounding flour. The loose flour slowly converged into a light yellow dough.

Once the egg liquid and flour were thoroughly mixed, Hachiman's movements changed. His hands followed a certain sequence and frequency, patting and kneading the light yellow dough in front of him.

A series of "pat pat pat" echoed in the kitchen.

This naturally attracted the attention of other graduates, but when they saw Hachiman simply kneading dough, many of them wore mocking expressions.

To them, kneading dough was just that, and making such a big sound seemed like seeking attention.

However, a few graduates skilled in dough, and Dojima, who hadn't yet started, seemed to recognize something and fell into contemplation.

This should be a special noodle kneading technique.

Before long, Hachiman stopped his hands. In the mixing bowl, a smooth and round light golden dough appeared, and there was not a trace of flour residue on his hands.

Poking it with his fingers, the dough felt incredibly soft, and it was impossible to tell that no water had been used.

Feeling the elasticity under his fingers, Hachiman nodded and covered the mixing bowl with plastic wrap, allowing the dough to rest for a while.

During the resting time, he didn't idle. Hachiman tossed a large piece of marbled pork onto the cutting board.

Then, holding a cleaver in each hand, as if equipped with electric motors, he rapidly chopped the pork.

The collision of the cleavers with the cutting board echoed loudly.

This made many graduates skilled in Western cuisine furrow their brows because Western cuisine emphasizes elegance. In their eyes, Hachiman's cooking method seemed somewhat barbaric.

However, when they glanced at Dojima, who was holding his arms, they didn't dare to say much and continued with their own cooking.

Hachiman, unaffected, quickly turned the large piece of pork into minced meat. Adding chopped scallions, ginger, and pre-prepared seasonings like cooking wine, he swiftly mixed everything together.

Now that the dough had finished resting, he took out the slightly expanded dough from the mixing bowl. Poking it with his fingers again, the dough had become even softer and more elastic. Satisfied with the remarkable elasticity, Hachiman nodded.

He divided the dough into several sections, rolled them into long strips, then, wielding the cleaver, he swiftly cut the "noodles" into uniformly sized pieces.

Accepting it, Hachiman picked up the rolling pin and swiftly rolled out the dough. In no time, the small dough pieces transformed into uniformly sized and thin dough wrappers.

Setting aside the rolling pin, he picked up one piece of dough wrapper. Hachiman spread an even layer of minced meat on it, then wrapped a bit of orange-colored substance inside. He pinched the edges of the dough to create a decorative pattern like a dumpling, filled it with more meat, and finally sealed the dumpling with a spoonful of black crumbs.

That way, a dumpling was folded, and Hachiman repeated the process, turning all the dough wrappers into dumplings. Eight dumplings in one steamer basket, six baskets stacked together, were then placed in the steamer.

At this moment, many graduates had finished their own dishes. Plates of exquisite dishes were arranged on the table, resembling a buffet, ready for anyone to serve themselves.

However, instead of helping themselves, all of them stared at Hachiman's side. After all, their purpose was to verify Hachiman's culinary skills.

Despite being observed by these graduates, Hachiman showed no signs of nervousness. After approximately ten minutes, the first stack of six steamer baskets full of dumplings was steamed.

He grabbed a few plates, arranged four dumplings on each, and placed them on the central table.

"All right, seniors, please enjoy. These are my Three-Egg Dumplings," Hachiman turned around and smiled slightly at the group of graduates.

As the freshly steamed dumplings were placed on the table, a slightly pungent aroma wafted through the hall, catching the attention of many graduates.

Due to the recent steaming, the sound of dumplings and the accompanying warmth filled the hall. Many graduates caught a whiff of a slightly pungent aroma.

It was Dojima who approached the table first, picked up one dumpling from the plate, and remarked, "This should be Century Egg."

"Exactly, it's Century Egg. Originally, I was worried we wouldn't have this ingredient, but indeed, being the Totsuki Resort, they even have such niche ingredients in stock," Hachiman smiled and nodded.

Given that Century eggs are rarely consumed in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries, and in other parts of the world, Century eggs have even been voted as one of the world's most unappetizing foods, Balut shares a similar reputation.

"That's natural. The Totsuki Resort caters to guests from around the world, so we need to be well-prepared with various ingredients," Dojima explained proudly.

"This slightly stimulating aroma is quite enticing. Well then, I'll go ahead and try it," he said before taking a bite of the dumpling.

As he bit into it, Dojima's initially serious expression softened, replaced by a satisfied look one wears when savoring a delicious dish.

"I see, with the egg in the skin, crab roe in the filling, and century egg used for sealing—it truly is the Three-Egg Dumpling," he continued. "The soft skin, the savory meat filling with a hint of crab roe, and the slightly fishy flavor from the century egg provide a tremendous stimulation to the taste buds. The taste of these three eggs creates a symphony of flavors in the mouth. It's truly fantastic."

Hearing Dojima's somewhat exaggerated praise, many graduates wore expressions of skepticism.

As they approached the dining table, they each took a dumpling and bit into it, revealing expressions similar to Dojima's.

"Wow, the burst of freshness from the crab roe as you bite down is just amazing," said Hinako, gently caressing her cheek with a face filled with delight.

"Exactly, although I've never had century eggs, the slightly fishy taste, combined with the freshness of the crab roe, and the soft egg skin, acts as a perfect harmonizer between the two. It's truly a masterpiece," Donato praised.

Not only them, but other graduates who tasted the Three-Egg Dumpling couldn't stop praising it, leaving some graduates who hadn't grabbed one with an eager expression.

Just then, Hachiman's second batch of dumplings was also served on the table.


บท 216: [216] The Peculiar Shinomiya Kojiro

Chapter 216: The Peculiar Shinomiya Kojiro

The second batch of dumplings was snatched up within a minute by those impatient graduates. Every person who tasted the Three-Egg Dumpling displayed a face full of happiness. However, there was one exception – Shinomiya Kojiro.

Facing the other graduates scrambling for the dumplings, he showed no intention of trying them. Instead, he sat alone behind the kitchen counter, supporting his chin with one hand, gazing sharply toward the dining table.

"Shinomiya-senpai, won't you come over and eat with us?"

At that moment, Hinako noticed Shinomiya sitting alone and waved her arms like a little girl, calling out to him.

"No!" Shinomiya coldly refused.

However, Hinako didn't give up. Holding one Three-Egg Dumpling, she ran over to him and started acting cute.

"Come on, Shinomiya-senpai, don't be so rigid. Just take a bite; it's really delicious."

This scene looked quite out of place. After all, she was once known as the "Empress of Mist" during her student days, a mature woman who intimidated her peers. Seeing her openly acting cute was quite awkward.

At this point, Hachiman also recalled that in the original story, Hinako seemed to have a crush on Shinomiya. Could it be that she was attempting to win his favor in this peculiar way?

"Just take a bite..."

"Well... it's really tasty."

"Come on, Shinomiya-senpai, you're such an old-fashioned guy..."

Under Hinako's persistent efforts, Shinomiya finally reacted. He formed several "#" symbols on his forehead, unleashed an unyielding grip, and grabbed Hinako's head with one hand, speaking in a gruff tone.

"You're so annoying, you know. I said I won't eat, and I won't."

As he applied slow pressure with his fingers, Hinako, held by her head, let out a painful scream.

"Ahh... it hurts, it hurts! Let go, I'm sorry, Shinomiya-senpai, I was wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Shinomiya finally released his grip.

Hinako, who fell to the ground, rubbed her buttocks and looked up with a tearful expression, complaining to Shinomiya.

"Shinomiya-senpai is really rough. He even used such force on a cute underclassman."

But witnessing this scene, familiar graduates like Mizuhara and Donato seemed unfazed, as if such incidents were commonplace during their student days.

At this moment, Shinomiya completed his dishes, carrying two plates to the dining table.

One was French onion soup, and the other was French orange-seared foie gras.

Despite being known as the "Magician of Legumes," these two dishes were not within his expertise.

Observing this, Dojima slightly furrowed his brow. After tasting both dishes, the frowns on his face deepened.

Hachiman also sampled the dishes. According to the "Tasting" module, the scores were around 80, which can only be said to be excellent, but not top-notch at all.

Shinomiya Kojiro was considered one of the chefs closest to the level of Gin Dojima and Yukihira Joichiro. In Hachiman's estimation, Gin Dojima and Yukihira Joichiro were at the level of mid-tier to peak Level 5. Thus, Shinomiya should have at least the initial level of Level 5.

However, his skills seemed to fall short, barely reaching mid-tier Level 4, not even reaching the peak of Level 4. This completely surprised him.

Could he be hiding his true abilities?

No, that's not it.

At this moment, Hachiman recalled from the original story that after Shinomiya Kojiro won the "Pluspol" medal, he lost his goal for advancement, causing his culinary skills to stagnate.

Perhaps because of this, he didn't put in his full effort, fearing that others would notice his stagnant culinary skills.

Without explicitly stating this, Shinomiya glanced at Dojima, who also remained silent, and smiled faintly.

"As expected of the first seat of the 79th generation of Totsuki, the dishes are truly delicious."

"Of course!" Shinomiya replied confidently.

But at this moment, Hinako jumped in again, making a funny face at him.

"Ah, Shinomiya-senpai, such arrogance."

This triggered Shinomiya once again, but before he could unleash his technique to shut her up, Hinako hid behind Hachiman. Seemingly remembering something, she spoke again.

"Oh right, Hikigaya-kun, didn't you prepare sea bream? Why haven't I seen you use it?"

The graduating students also noticed the untouched sea bream, prompting some confusion.

Seeing this scene, Hachiman smiled faintly.

"Of course, it's going to be used. However, the dish I'm making is an instant dish. It's best to make and eat it fresh."

As he said this, he prepared to start again, piquing the interest of the graduating students once more.

Hachiman first took out a large block of ice from the freezer and placed it on the kitchen counter. Then, he drew out a kitchen knife, gently stroking the blade with his left hand.

His eyes sharpened, and the[Kendo]module loaded. In the next moment, the gleam of the blade illuminated the surroundings, accompanied by the continuous sound of clanging. Hachiman kept cutting into the ice block, ice shards flying, as if he were sculpting something.

Witnessing this scene, the surrounding graduates were somewhat puzzled.

Is he sculpting? But wouldn't that damage the kitchen tools?

Nevertheless, Hachiman continued undeterred, and in no time, a mini ice mountain appeared before them.

Satisfied with the carved ice mountain, Hachiman nodded in approval. He approached the large fish tank, rolled up his sleeves, and reached in, grabbing a still-swimming sea bream.

However, the sea bream wasn't about to be caught so easily; its body shook violently, attempting to free itself from the grasp.

Unfortunately, with Hachiman's current strength, its struggles were futile. With a slight exertion, he lifted the sea bream.

Arriving at the cutting board, a swift chop with chopsticks cleanly ended its sashimi life.

Then, Hachiman quickly prepared the sea bream.

Seeing this, the graduates guessed what dish he was making.

"Hikigaya-kun, are you making sashimi?" Donato asked.

"Exactly." Hachiman nodded without hesitation, then continued speaking.

"Senpai, please step back a bit. Things might get a little dangerous."

"Dangerous?" Hinako was puzzled but followed his words and distanced herself.

Hachiman picked up a small liquid nitrogen spray bottle and started spraying it vigorously on the kitchen knife.

After the compressed liquid nitrogen sprayed out, it rapidly vaporized into nitrogen gas, absorbing a significant amount of heat and drastically lowering the temperature of the knife!

After spraying for a while, Hachiman put down the liquid nitrogen spray bottle. In the slightly terrified eyes of the graduates, he reached out and grasped the ice-cold knife.
