"Oh, alright, alright, hurry up! My appointment with my master is almost here. Let's go quickly to the canteen for meat. We can't do without meat, otherwise I won't be able to increase my training volume."

Lin Yiran asked, "Does the cafeteria serve meat? Is it good?" Would it smell as fishy as the barbecue Lin Fu made before?

Jin Shuo: "I'm not asking you to eat meat, I'm asking you to go and cook meat, make braised pork for us, hurry up!"

"I arranged to meet my chef at 5:40. We have 20 minutes left, enough time to cook a plate of meat. Hurry up!"

Lin Yiran was forced to be pulled away.

However, she eventually realized what was happening, and while being pulled away by Jin Shuo, she didn't forget to ask, "What? You mean you want me to be the meat? No..."

"Hey, stop for a second!" Lin Yiran was being pulled so fast she could almost fly. The individual combat skills were just different; even dragging her along, they could practically carry her.

"Isn't cooking not allowed at our school? Unless it's during a cooking class, this is against the rules, isn't it, Jin Shuo?"

"It's only the first day of school? They're already causing trouble on the very first day of school?"

Jin Shuo frowned: "Oh, ancestor, don't worry, I've already talked to the chef in the cafeteria, and he agreed. Don't worry, these are rules, but it's military training now, and no one's going to catch us. We can just secretly cook it in the kitchen and say the chef made it, right?"

"These rules are rules, but people are flexible. It's okay, it's okay. I'll take responsibility if anything happens, don't worry."

Lin Yiran wanted to say something more, but Jin Shuo pushed her away from behind. "My goodness, I'm begging you! I've gotten so used to your food that I can't bring myself to eat anything else. Isn't that because you spoiled me? Let me tell you, you have to take responsibility!"

Lin Yiran gave a dry laugh, but in the end she couldn't resist Jin Shuo's push and was led to the cafeteria's kitchen.

Jin Shuo and Lin Yiran went inside, while Han Bing and An Peipei waited in a spot in the cafeteria beforehand, ready to eat.

When Lin Yiran arrived at the kitchen, she found a large piece of cleaned mutated wild boar meat.

She greeted the chef waiting inside, and without any hesitation, under Jin Shuo's watchful eye—no, under his drooling gaze—she began to cut the pork into even small pieces.

Feeling there was still enough time, Lin Yiran asked Jin Shuo to wash the cauliflower and green peppers in the corner of the school's back kitchen, as well as the chicken and mushrooms. The interstellar hot pot cooks quickly, and a plate of food can be ready in just a few minutes. Since they were going to cook, they should cook more.

I don't know what Jin Shuo said to that chef, but the chef actually joined Jin Shuo in washing vegetables and mushrooms, and even thoughtfully chopped all the vegetables and left them aside for later use.

Lin Yiran only needed to cook the dishes; the rice and other ingredients were all steamed in advance.

After the water boiled, the pork was blanched in the boiling water, then taken out and placed in another pot to be caramelized with sugar. To prevent the taste from being different, Lin Yiran had the system remove the remaining violent energy from these ingredients beforehand. As for the seasonings, she used the remaining seasonings from her space.

While the braised pork was being reduced over high heat, the chicken stew with mushrooms was being prepared. After the chicken was stir-fried and seasoned with soy sauce and light soy sauce, the aroma immediately filled the air. The smell was so enticing that even the experienced chef waiting inside couldn't help but sniff and exclaim, "My goodness, this smells amazing! Miss Lin, did you develop this recipe yourself?"

Lin Yiran nodded: "I figured it out myself. I've loved cooking since I was a child."

The experienced chef couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Miss Lin is truly gifted. Just by smelling this, she knows the taste is definitely top-notch."

Lin Yiran: "Then let's have a taste together later, since we made a lot."

That's definitely the truth.

The ingredients Jin Shuo prepared were so plentiful that the pork for braised pork alone amounted to almost half a pig's body, enough to make over thirty boxed meals. There was simply not enough for the four of them to finish.

As for the chicken stew with mushrooms, Jin Shuo was generous, slaughtering two wild chickens and washing a large mushroom. He roughly estimated that it could make about thirty servings.

As for the cauliflower, it made about twenty servings.

As the cauliflower sizzled as it hit the pot, the aroma of braised pork filled the air, causing the master chef to sniffle and rub his hands together anxiously as he waited in front of the large pot of braised pork.

He continued, "Miss Lin, I think the pork is cooked through. Can it be taken out of the pot now?"

Lin Yiran: "Not yet. The braised pork needs to be stewed until it's soft and tender to taste good. Just one more minute, just one more minute and it'll be almost done. Jinshuo, keep an eye on it, don't let it burn."

Jin Shuo obediently agreed and squatted down in front of the pot of braised pork with the master chef, eager to try it out.

I wish I could just stick out my chopsticks and take a bite.

Because of the taste.

That's really true.

It smells so good!!

Master Wu has been a chef all his life, and he has never smelled such a fragrant aroma. The smell makes him want to eat the food right away and savor its flavor.

I heard this is called braised pork. It's stewed until tender and sweet.

Just hearing about it makes my mouth water.

The experienced chef, who had just finished his staff meal, felt hungry again.

Lin Yiran was engrossed in cooking. She had just finished serving the cauliflower when the chicken stew with mushrooms was almost ready. She lifted the lid, poured in the green peppers, and stir-fried them a few more times. The aroma of the stew was already coming out.

The entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of her cooking, making it simply irresistible.

Not to mention the cafeteria kitchen, the three of them were so engrossed in their work inside that they didn't even notice that the cafeteria windows outside were already packed with people, all clamoring for food and delicious meals.

Not only that, they also accused them of hoarding things, refusing to give them good food, and insisting on hiding their belongings.

Just as Master Wu had said, the aroma was so strong that it could be smelled for miles around, even by students getting their meals outside.

That taste!

That's absolutely amazing.

They had indeed smelled such a delicious aroma before, and since it didn't match the taste of the dishes in their hands, they instinctively assumed that there was something good in the school kitchen, but they weren't going to offer it to them.

So they started making a fuss outside. The cook was baffled; he didn't know where the aroma was coming from, but he still yelled angrily and pointed to the clock hanging outside.

"Eat or don't eat, it's already 5:50. We'll stop serving food in ten minutes. Don't blame us if any of you go hungry!"

Well, once those words were spoken, they had no choice but to obediently line up for food.

The smell is so good it makes my mouth water!
