"Don't tell me you have one of these too."
After hearing the other person's words, Lin Qi spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and spoke in a calm tone:
Is it strange that I have this thing?
When Hiratsuka Shizuka heard this, she just chuckled and rolled her eyes at him.
Hiratsuka Shizuka thought to herself, "I don't believe you for a second. You're a wicked little devil. You just want to trick me into staying at your place."
Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't some clueless naiveté; she was well aware of how precious this thing was. There were only a handful of chefs in the entire country who possessed it.
And the youngest is already forty years old, so how old is this kid?
Lin Qi could tell from the other person's expression that he thought the other person was bragging, but he didn't explain anything. After all, to be honest, he didn't really care about this kind of thing.
As the dishes were served one by one, the two chatted and ate, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
Moreover, Hiratsuka Shizuka's appearance at this moment was quite funny, as she was completely absorbed in the delicious food.
Lin Qi sensed something was amiss. Wasn't it supposed to be that only the main course was prepared by the head chef? How come every dish was prepared by the other party now?
After taking a bite, Lin Qi knew that all the dishes were prepared by the same person.
Could it be that the little tsundere specifically instructed her to do this?
When the last dessert arrived, he saw a familiar figure and immediately realized, "It's you, Dojima Gin!"
So it was all done by the other party. That makes it no surprise. After all, besides that old man from Hunan, only this person has this thing. No wonder he's so clumsy, or rather, he's a complete beginner.
When Hiratsuka Shizuka saw the other person arrive, she also made a move, since she knew this person as well.
......0...
The other party arrived with a smile on their face and spoke:
"Lin Qijun, and this young lady, hello!"
Lin Qi said that one shouldn't hit someone in the face, and since the other party had already gone to such lengths to entertain him, he gave them a smile in return.
"So all of these were made by Chef Dojima, right?"
Dojima Gin wasn't surprised by Lin Qi's words; instead, he spoke in a teasing tone:
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you; you figured it out as soon as you tasted it."
"The only ones here with a heart for cooking are you and that old man Senzaemon."
"But the heart of this chef is not yet mature, so only you can make it."
Dojima Gin raised an eyebrow upon hearing Lin Qi's words, surprised to hear the words "still immature" from the other person.
"Lin Qijun, you mean..."
Lin Qi, you probably understand what the other party wants to ask, so you didn't hesitate to say a few more words.
"That's literally what it means."
"To put it another way, I divide all chefs in the world into five levels, with those who have a chef's heart being at level three."
"You're just a little bit ahead of those who have just entered level three."
"For example, if the road at level 3 is 10 meters long, you've already walked a little over 2 meters."
Dojima Gin couldn't help but smile wryly after hearing this. If someone else had said it, he would have been skeptical, but since it was Lin Qi who said it, he had no doubts at all. He just hadn't expected himself to be so inexperienced, not even having completed a third of the journey.
Chapter 72 Hehehe, Jing'ai, you didn't want this either~
Dojima Gin quickly composed himself and then spoke in a respectful tone:
"Lin Qijun, could you please point out any flaws in my cooking?"
Lin Qi figured that since the other person was one of Xiao Aojiao's people, he could at least give him a little guidance; it was just a matter of exchanging a few words.
Lynch started by talking about the appetizers.
"It will taste even better if you flip it a little more."
"Also, the salt was added too slowly here. Adding it two seconds earlier would have been the best time."
At this moment, Lynch explained his steps perfectly as if he had done it himself, and even pointed out the shortcomings in the steps.
Dojima Gin's eyes were shining brightly at that moment, because this was all incredibly precious knowledge.
After listening, Dojima Gin felt he had benefited greatly and immediately bowed to Lin Qi.
"Lin Qijun, I have another dish here that is the best I have ever made. I hope you will try it."
After hearing what the other person said, Lin Qi nodded and said to let the other person do it. He didn't care as long as there was food. As for making him the chef, that was fine with him.
Only after Hiratsuka Shizuto left did I belatedly realize what had happened, and then I looked at Lin Qi with an incredulous gaze and spoke:
"You're actually a chef, and a really good one at that."
"Otherwise, I'd like to trouble you to remove the 'very powerful' part; it should be 'the strongest'."
When Lin Qi said this, his spirit and demeanor instantly changed. He gave Hiratsuka Shizusuke an invincible feeling.
Although Hiratsuka Shizuka really wanted to say that you might be very good, it was a long way off whether you were the strongest, she still felt that what she said was true.
Lin Qi understood that the other party didn't believe him, so he immediately spoke in a cheerful tone:
“Jing’ai’er, have you forgotten? I’m someone who’s qualified to rank the chefs in this world. I’m talking about real rankings, not just star ratings or anything like that.”
Hiratsuka Shizuya recalled what the other person had just said, and the fact that the other person hadn't refuted him made him feel a bit of a toothache. It seemed this guy was really awesome.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw that the person had suddenly become unserious again.
"Jing'er, do you think if a top-notch chef like me were to propose to you in this world, would your family just pack you up and send you to me?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a toothache after hearing this. Even if this guy wasn't a top chef, her own family would be eager to send her over, let alone his status.
Hiratsuka Shizuka had serious suspicions that they didn't even need condoms—no, wait, that's not necessary. After all, they were more than happy to get pregnant with this guy's child. In fact, they had already made plans for the child's future formula, education, and a whole host of other things.
"Ahem, calm down, you need to calm down."
"After all, there are some things that need to be thought out carefully. You know, my personality is terrible."
"And my lifestyle habits are also very bad."
Hiratsuka Shizuka was crying inside as she said this. After all, such an outstanding guy was actively pursuing her, but he just happened to be her student. Where could she go to seek justice?
After hearing what the other person said, Lin Qi replied with an indifferent attitude:
"It doesn't matter. If the habits are bad, so be it. And even if they are, I can hire someone to fix them. Anyway, I'm not short of money. If 10 maids aren't enough, I'll have 100."
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt somewhat helpless after hearing this. Well, this kid really wasn't going to let her go.
"Tell me, what exactly do you see in me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi replied without hesitation:
"First and foremost, appearance is something that can't be faked."
"Or if I said it was something about your personality, I doubt you'd believe me yourself, right?"
Upon hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt her fists harden, but this was something she herself couldn't deny. If this guy said he liked her personality or something like that, there was definitely something wrong with him.
"Then I felt that, after all, there are so many beautiful women, some even prettier than you, so why don't I pursue them? I would even bet that some of them would do anything for a good price."
Hiratsuka Shizuka blushed slightly upon hearing this, then spoke in a helpless tone:
"He's your homeroom teacher, can't you at least be a little more tactful about these things?"
Lin Qi realized what the other person meant after hearing their words, and immediately smiled and said:
"Sorry, sorry, but who would remember something like that in this situation and atmosphere?"
After hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka found himself speechless, or rather, he felt that what was said wasn't entirely wrong. After all, who would remember such things at a time like this? To be honest, he had unconsciously felt like he was on a date with this guy.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. As for why it has to be you, the third point is, have you forgotten our unexpected contact that day?"
"If you meet the first two points and there's an unexpected third point, do you think I'd let you fall into someone else's arms?"
When Hiratsuka Shizuka heard this, she felt like she had shot herself in the foot. To be honest, it was a real accident that day. She didn't expect that this guy would misunderstand. At the same time, she cursed herself inwardly, why did she have to do that kind of position?
But now all I can say is in a very dissatisfied tone:
"You're really domineering."
Lin Qi didn't pay any attention to what the other person said, and instead spoke in a casual tone:
"Honestly, I'm not going to argue with what you said, but think about it, I'm not interested in money at all, so what's wrong with me picking up a girl?"
"Besides, I'm not one of those playboys who just play around..."
"But the kind where you actually get a marriage certificate, okay?"
After hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka had to admit that if this guy really got the marriage certificate, then everything would be different; this guy was serious.
However, she didn't really want to continue this topic right now, since many things were uncertain, so this topic had to be ended.
"By the way, what kind of dish do you think Chef Dojima will serve up later?"
Lin Qi saw through the other party's trick at a glance, but he didn't care. After all, there's a saying, "boiling water slowly," so he wasn't in a hurry. He figured the other party would eventually fall into his hands, so there was no need for him to be as impatient as a beast.
Lin Qi thought for a moment and then spoke in an uncertain tone:
"To be honest, I'm not too sure about this. After all, I don't even know what kind of material I'm uploading, but it's probably Japanese-style."
However, when the other party brought the things up, Lin Qi couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The other side actually sent a group to watch the battle.
Lynch noticed that the pie was made entirely of fish. A pie made of fish?
Then I cut it open for him and ate some. To be honest, he wasn't hallucinating either; he just ate it expressionlessly and gave the other person a normal evaluation.
Hiratsuka Shizuka, however, was enjoying being pulled into the illusion by the other party, and even looked very happy.
Without a word, Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled out her phone and snapped a picture, thinking to herself that she could later do whatever she wanted. Shizuka, you didn't want that, did you?
Dojima Gin felt somewhat disappointed, since he hadn't managed to pull the other person in.
Seeing the disappointment in the other person's eyes, Lin Qi couldn't help but offer some words of comfort:
"Only if the dish is at least a level four ultimate skill dish can I barely go in."
Upon hearing this, Dojima Gin's lips twitched slightly, and he then asked a presumptuous question.
