Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 9: The first hardcore fan

The next day, Tong Yu, who was still sleeping, was awakened by a knock on the door.

“Hurry up, Mr. Tong Yu, I have something to ask you!” Yukihira Sōma shouted outside the dormitory door.

Sōma?

Tong Yu just hesitated for a moment, and then immediately guessed the purpose of Yukihira Sōma coming to him.

After getting dressed and opening the bedroom door, Yukihira Sōma immediately walked in.

Although Tong Yu guessed the purpose of Sōma’s visit, he still said, “Yukihira, are you busy with me?”

“Mr. Tong Yu, teach me the ‘essence of cooking’ of Chinese cuisine right away, I want to make fried rice with golden eggs like you!” Sōma said to Tong Yu with a serious face.

it is as expected.

It seems that last night’s golden egg fried rice had a great influence on Yukihira Sōma, otherwise he wouldn’t have come here to find Tong Yu so early.

Although the two did not have a formal competition, Yukihira Sōma knew very well that there was a big gap between him and Tong Yu. The taste of the dishes made by the same method is very different, which is enough to show that Tong Yu’s cooking skills are far superior to him.

He has been rolling in the kitchen of “Yukihira Restaurant” since he was a child. He has absolute cooking experience. Before he came to Tōtsuki Academy, he was confident that his cooking skills were rare among his peers.

But I didn’t expect to meet an opponent so soon, and the gap in strength is still so huge.

At the same time, Sōma gradually understood why Jōichirō sent him to Tōtsuki Academy.

“Yukihira, mastering the ‘essence of fire’ is not an overnight process, it is a long-term accumulation process. However, I can use other methods to improve your cooking skills, but I have one condition.”

“As long as I can improve my cooking skills, I can do anything!”

Tong Yu looked at Sōma’s serious face and couldn’t help but smiled and said: “Don’t be so nervous, it’s not for you to do terrible things. My condition is very simple, to become a ‘hardcore fan’ of my comics.”

“Hardcore fans? What is that?” Sōma said with a confused expression.

“Well, to put it simply, you always support my comics, and then occasionally help me with a little help. You can also understand that you are my assistant.” Tong Yu said.

Sōma rubbed his head in confusion: “Is there any connection between being a die-hard fan and improving my cooking skills?”

“Uh, this doesn’t seem to be related, but I can guarantee that your cooking skills will definitely improve in a short time.”

When he heard this, Sōma agreed without thinking much.

At this time, the voice of the system prompt also came from Tong Yu’s mind.

[Ding, detected that Yukihira Sōma is willing to become a die-hard fan of the host, do you establish contact immediately? 】

Yes!

When Tong Yu made sure that the connection was established, Yukihira Sōma suddenly looked dazed.

But within a second, Yukihira Sōma was back to normal.

At this time, an attribute panel about Yukihira Sōma also popped up in Tong Yu’s consciousness space.

Hardcore powder①

Name: Yukihira Sōma

Talent type: All-round chef

Cooking talent: S (from low to high D, C, B, A, S, S + six levels)

Recipe: No

Cooking skills: none

Ability: None

System suggestion: The all-round talented chef, who also has a very high cooking talent, is a target worthy of training. He will become a powerful arm for the host to explore the world of comics.

Before Tong Yu could figure out what was going on in the attribute panel, the sound of the system prompt came again.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully owning the first hardcore fan, the host will get the reward “Seven Star Knife”, the hardcore fan (Yukihira Sōma) has learned the designated recipe*1, and the designated cooking skill*1]

Tong Yu couldn’t react to the continuous sound of the system. In order to understand what happened, he decided to leave Yukihira Sōma first.

“Yukihira, that’s all for now. After today’s class is over, we’ll talk about other things.” Tong Yu said to Yukihira Sōma.

“Okay.”

After Yukihira Sōma left, Tong Yu started asking the system some questions.

The system responded to Tong Yu’s questions in detail one by one.

The first is about the attribute panel of Yukihira Sōma.

This panel lists some of Sōma’s information, cooking talent, talent type, as well as recipes and cooking skills learned from the manga system.

The first is cooking talent, which is the system’s evaluation of the bound hardcore fans. The higher the evaluation, the greater the potential of this person, the huge room for improvement, and the easier it is to learn recipes and cooking skills.

There are three types of talents. They are all-round, single, and special.

All-round chefs, there are fewer people with this talent, they are often good at more fields, and they are involved in various skills. Such a chef can develop in many directions, and there are not too many restrictions on learning skills.

Single-type chefs, most chefs belong to this type, have a special ability or are very good at a certain field of cooking.

Special chefs have unique talents and abilities, which are very rare.

The system gives such a panel, that is, Tong Yu can better cultivate die-hard fans.

And the seven-star knife that was rewarded just now has been placed in the system backpack space, and Tong Yu’s control mind can be taken out at any time.

As for Sōma’s two designated rewards, Tong Yu will designate it. After the assignment is completed, you can learn immediately.

Of course, the specified recipes and cooking skills must have appeared in “China One”.

Tong Yu was not in a hurry to arrange recipes and cooking skills for Yukihira Sōma immediately. After washing up and getting some food in the kitchen, he rushed to the teaching building with his textbooks.

Today’s class is about nutrition, and when Tong Yu walked into the classroom, he felt something was wrong.

It stands to reason that the classroom should be chattering and noisy before class is not in session, but the classroom is very quiet, and only occasional whispers can be heard.

I saw that everyone in the classroom was looking at the long chestnut-haired girl sitting in the front row with fearful eyes.

This girl has delicate facial features and an excellent figure, but her face is cold and cold.

Nakiri Erina!

I didn’t expect to meet her in this class.

Interesting, go up and say hello.

Tong Yu’s mouth curled into a smile, and he walked directly to a seat next to Nakiri Erina and sat down.

Due to Nakiri Erina’s strong family background and her own excellence, many students are afraid to approach her easily. In addition, she defeated second-year Goudabayashi Kiyoshi in the halberd yesterday. After winning, the “Sumo Hot Pot Research Association” was abolished on the spot, which made her famous.

The mention of Nakiri Erina’s name in the first grade can’t help but evoke a sense of awe.

Therefore, the seats beside Nakiri Erina were empty, and no one dared to step forward to sit, and everyone was afraid of offending this big man accidentally.

But Tong Yu was better, and sat directly beside her.

This surprised the other students in the classroom. *
