Chapter 397: #397 - Three famous palace dishes that you shouldn’t eat!

薙切 Senzaemon, who understood his granddaughter Erina's personality, wasn't surprised by the customized dish she requested.

And the customized dish Erina requested also aligned with Senzaemon's and Soma Yukihira's intentions.

Especially Soma Yukihira, who had been about to suggest that Seiya prepare an egg dish.

Because the very Erina Nakiri before him was his entrance exam judge, and she had already tasted his 'Egg Rice'.

Although he didn't know how amazing the rumored 'God Tongue' truly was, it was clearly more authoritative than the average person.

Soma Yukihira refused to believe that he would lose to his childhood friend and frenemy for the third time!

"So, Headmaster of Totsuki Academy, what are you preparing to eat?"

Hearing Seiya's question again, Senzaemon Nakiri stroked his beard and finally said, "This old man doesn't have any particular preferences or dislikes.

If possible, please serve me a dish that best showcases your culinary skills."

Hearing Senzaemon Nakiri's words as he stroked his beard and smiled, Seiya's expression immediately darkened.

Damn, this old codger is cunning; a seemingly undemanding request is actually the most difficult.

What do you mean by no particular likes or dislikes? Isn't that obviously a prepared response?

After pondering for a moment, Seiya quickly entered the kitchen and began cooking.

Since Seiya already had an idea for the egg dish that Erina wanted, he started by heating the wok and adding oil, preparing to cook that dish first.

For the egg dish, Seiya planned to make a famous Zhonghua dish, 'San Bu Zhan'.

The so-called 'San Bu Zhan,' also known as Osmanthus Egg, is made with extremely simple ingredients: just eggs, starch, sugar, and water.

However, the simplicity of the ingredients doesn't mean that the cooking technique is simple.

On the contrary, 'San Bu Zhan' is a nightmare for most inexperienced chefs.

To make 'San Bu Zhan' successfully, it must not stick to the plate, chopsticks, or teeth, and it needs to be golden in color with a soft and sweet taste.

The most difficult part of 'San Bu Zhan' is precisely controlling the heat after the egg yolk enters the wok and stirring it at high speed. Successfully transforming the liquid egg yolk into an elastic and smooth dessert, similar to mochi, requires skill and patience.

Erina and the others waiting outside watched Seiya's constant activity in front of the pot, and they were filled with curiosity about the dish he was preparing.

Generally speaking, eggs are an ingredient that cooks very easily, and dishes cooked primarily with eggs don't usually take too long.

Because if cooked for too long, the eggs will lose their original egg fragrance and result in a poor texture.

But Seiya had been standing in front of the pot for more than ten minutes already, unless he had put the cart before the horse and wasn't using eggs as the main ingredient, a dish with eggs as the main ingredient shouldn't require so much cooking time.

Just as Erina and the others were wondering what egg dish Seiya was making, Seiya finally walked out of the kitchen holding a plate.

On the white plate was a pile of food resembling a small hill, golden in color and with a fragrant egg aroma, looking like a small sun.

When Erina reached out with her chopsticks to poke the dish on the plate, she discovered that the dish Seiya had brought out was not only as elastic as jelly but also, despite appearing like mochi, didn't stick to the chopsticks at all!

However, while Erina was still studying how Seiya had made the eggs into this state, Senzaemon Nakiri and Soma Yukihira had already started tasting it.

Judging from the appearance of San Bu Zhan, it was difficult to tell that it was made purely from eggs, starch, and sugar.

But when they put a piece of San Bu Zhan into their mouths, Senzaemon and Soma Yukihira's eyes lit up instantly!

Most people would probably choose to make cakes or fried rice with eggs as the main ingredient.

Because eggs are indeed an indispensable ingredient in dessert making, and Senzaemon and the others could tell as soon as they tasted it that the dish Seiya was cooking was also a dessert-like dish.

However, the unique texture and the sweet taste were different from any dessert they had tasted before.

Under the impact of this unique flavor, Senzaemon Nakiri's kimono suddenly burst open, revealing a large portion of his chest.

Although he had long heard that the 'Food Demon King' Senzaemon would suddenly 'burst his clothes' when he tasted delicious food, Seiya was still quite surprised and felt a little uncomfortable when the scene unfolded before him.

Bursting clothes is commonly known as 'clothing explosion.' Compared to Senzaemon showing off his perfect chest muscles and Soma Yukihira shouting wildly, Seiya would rather see Erina and Hisako perform the 'clothing explosion' skill.

Senzaemon's 'clothing explosion' is an eyesore; Erina's clothing explosion is full of positive energy!

Seeing that Soma Yukihira and her grandfather, who tasted the dish first, had such a big reaction, Erina's face showed surprise. After looking at the San Bu Zhan on her chopsticks, she put it in her mouth without hesitation.

The clove-like tongue of the 'God Tongue' enveloped the San Bu Zhan, and the soft, glutinous, fragrant, and sweet flavors of the San Bu Zhan were transmitted to her brain through Erina's taste buds.

And what made her feel strange was that the San Bu Zhan, which had a very viscous texture, did not stick to her teeth at all.

The unique taste and soft, glutinous texture made Erina feel as if she was in the clouds the moment she ate the dish, and large hens with outstretched wings tightly embraced her in their arms, like protecting chicks.

Under the impact of this deliciousness, Erina directly squeezed her legs together and let out a suggestive moan.

And Hisako, who was in a similar state to her, was even worse off because Erina had the 'God Tongue,' so Erina, who was satisfied, was in an even worse state!

Looking at the few people who had fallen into a strange state, Seiya and Minezaki were speechless; they had long been accustomed to diners entering this strange state.

And what made Seiya quite speechless was that those diners who were 'drugged' never felt that there was anything wrong with their state when enjoying the food.

Don't look at Minezaki beside Seiya now, looking at Erina and Hisako with a strange expression as a third party. In fact, when she ate the dishes made by Seiya, her state was much worse than theirs...
