I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3503 Deception

Tanaka Hui was a little confused, after all, Linton asked this question suddenly. Although she subconsciously answered that she didn't know, she didn't understand what Linton meant for a while.

"It seems that you still don't understand what I mean." Linton looked at Tansho Kei's expression and continued, "Do you think that a bird lands on a slender branch because it believes that the branch will not break? No, it believes in its own wings. Although we have helped you keep your student status this time, but forgive me for being frank, with your cooking skills, it is quite difficult for you to avoid being expelled."

Tanosuke Hui understood what Linton meant. She knew that she couldn't always rely on others. Only by improving her own abilities could she avoid being expelled from school.

Megumi Tadokoro did not refute Linton's words. After all, she was originally a very unconfident person. In the original work, she was constantly encouraged by the protagonist Yukihira Soma, and slowly built up her confidence and changed herself. But now with Linton's intervention, some of the plot was skipped, resulting in Megumi Tadokoro not changing much now, and she is still the timid girl with no confidence.

"I know, Mr. Linton, do you want to teach me how to improve my cooking skills?" Although she was not confident, Tansho Keito was still very strong. Since she was not strong enough, she had to become stronger. After listening to Linton's words, she immediately started to study.

"Yeah, yeah, I do want to help you. After all, I think we get along quite well." Linton said with a smile.

"Please teach me, Mr. Linton." Tansho Hui said immediately. She really didn't have much defense against Linton. Although she always felt nervous in front of him, she felt that Linton should be a good person. Didn't he help her just now?

"Well... it's good that you want to learn." Linton nodded with satisfaction, "But just like I said before, have you ever considered where the gap between you and Fubuki lies? Only when you know the gap can you find the right direction to make progress, right?"

  "This..." Tansho Kei looked anxious. She couldn't tell where the gap was for a while. Fubuki's cooking skills had already reached the level of beating their instructor. In her eyes, it was simply amazing. But what exactly is the gap... Is it talent?

"I've seen your previous dishes." Linton suddenly said, "As for that vegetable dish, it's actually quite talented."

"Huh?" Tansho Kei was suddenly stunned. She didn't expect that Linton actually saw her cooking. That cooking was severely criticized by Shinomiya Kojiro as rubbish, but she didn't expect that it would be praised by Linton.

Of course, in fact, Linton had never seen it, and he just remembered some of the plot. If Tanaka Hui asked what was good about it, Linton couldn't tell, because he just vaguely remembered that it was a vegetable dish, and he didn't even know what vegetables were used.

Of course, Linton would not give the other party a chance to ask further questions, and immediately took over the topic and continued, "In fact, there is absolutely no problem with your talent. If you really have no talent for cooking, how could I say these things to you today. It is precisely because I think you are a rough gem that I am talking about this."

"Unpolished jade?" Tansho Kei's face turned red. She originally thought she was good at cooking. After all, when she was in the countryside, both her family and neighbors praised her cooking. That's why she had the confidence to come to Totsuki Academy.

But after coming here, she realized that there are always people better than you. There are culinary geniuses everywhere in the academy, and people like her feel like cannon fodder.

Her grades have always been between failing and passing, and she was almost expelled before, but because Soma Yukihira transferred to the school and became a team with her, she passed the course exam at that time. Then in this residential training, she passed the first round with the help of Soma Yukihira, and then Linton and Fubuki saved her in the second round. She had always been flattering others, which led to her completely losing confidence. However, at this time, Linton suddenly praised her talent and said that she had a talent for cooking, which made her extremely moved. Of course, she also trusted Linton more.

"Really...really?" Tanaka Hui asked in panic, "But I..."

"Believe me, you can probably guess what my level is, right? Do you think I would have misjudged someone?" Linton waved his hand and said.

Linton never made a move, but whether it was Megumi Tadokoro or other people in Totsuki Academy, they thought that Linton's cooking skills should be very strong. After all, Fubuki looked like Linton's subordinate, and Linton had the courage to come to Totsuki Academy to provoke, so he couldn't be too bad.

Obviously no one would have thought that Linton didn't understand the truth about cooking at all.

"I... I understand. Please teach me, Mr. Linton." After being praised for a while, Tanosuke Hui gained some confidence and said to Linton with a clenched fist.

"Very good." Linton nodded. "I've said before that you actually have a talent for cooking, but talent does not mean strength. If you want to display your talent, there are two key points."

"First, it is long-term practice; second, it is one's own physical hardware condition." Linton said, raising two fingers.

  "Physical hard conditions?" Tansho Kei was a little confused. Of course she understood the practice part. Cooking obviously requires practice. It's impossible for someone to become a top chef just by cooking in his head. But she didn't understand the second condition. What does cooking have to do with physical conditions?

"You see, this is your weakest point. Not only are you in very poor physical condition, but you also didn't have this concept from the beginning." Linton said, "If I'm guessing correctly, you should have figured out your cooking skills on your own, and you haven't received any systematic teaching at all, right?"

"Uh... yes, my mother taught me at home, but I never went to cooking school, so I came to Totsuki to study." Tanomo Megumi nodded.

"So you think it's too simple. Do you think that learning to cook is just about knowing how to cut vegetables and start a fire?" Linton said seriously, "You don't understand the physical conditions required to be a qualified chef."

"This..." To be honest, Tanomo Kei really knew nothing about this.

"It's just like the practice I just mentioned. If I ask you to flip the wok 1000 times, do you think you have the stamina to do it?" Linton continued, "If I ask you to chop 100 kilograms of beef bones, do you think you have the stamina to do it? You can't even practice your cooking skills and help with the food preparation. How can you become a qualified chef?"
