A group of culinary school students were having a heated debate.
Their debate centers on which type of food is more suitable for after-bath: light dishes or spicy and flavorful ones.
The spiky-haired boy said, "Light meals are perfect for relaxing after a hot spring bath. Our dishes emphasize the original flavors of the ingredients, so that the body doesn't feel burdened after enjoying the comfort of the hot springs."
The short-haired girl immediately disagreed: "The spicy flavor in the food can stimulate the taste buds and promote blood circulation, which can make the body sweat again and keep it warm! What's more, spicy food is very stress-relieving! Isn't the purpose of coming to the hot springs to relax? Combined with stress relief, it can achieve a greater effect than just one plus one!"
The pockmarked boy with glasses was stuck in the middle, trying to mediate: "Stop arguing, both of you! Whichever you choose should be based on personal taste and physical condition. There's no need to argue so much. We're all out here to have fun and get along."
The spiky-haired girl and the short-haired girl looked at him and said in unison, "What do you care?! We have to decide the winner today!"
Led by them, the other students also started arguing.
"After a hot spring bath, you must eat something light. That way you will feel better. Eating something spicy and then getting all sweaty is so uncomfortable."
"You don't understand! Eating spicy food and sweating is the real way to relieve stress. It releases all the accumulated stress in your body. Hot springs and spicy food are the best way to relieve stress!"
"Why didn't you tell me that the spiciness was too much for my stomach?"
"Then you didn't taste the right kind of spicy food. The right kind of spicy food is the kind that's incredibly spicy, so spicy that it makes you feel like your head is burning!"
"Haha, the sweating you mentioned can be achieved with light meals. We can do the same with porridge and soup."
"Yes! There are also light dishes like hot soups, which will warm you up after eating them."
"That can't compare to the spicy nine-square hotpot!"
"If nothing else, spicy hot pot can't cook vegetables at all! Just for that alone, you lose!"
"And spicy food, after all, relies solely on the numbness and spiciness to mask all other flavors! You can't taste the ingredients at all!"
"You don't know how to season, so you can only rely on the ingredients."
"What are you talking about? Spicy is just some chili and Sichuan peppercorns! What do you think you are?"
The students were arguing one after another, and the argument was getting more and more intense.
The two leaders even declared war directly.
"If you dare! Let's have a cooking discussion!"
"Let the kitchen talk! Who's afraid of who?"
"Come now!"
"Alright! We're still short of judges for the cooking competition, so how about having the teacher and the other guests at the hotel judge together?"
"I'm fine."
The argument attracted the attention of other guests in the hotel, and Mingyue heard passers-by discussing it.
"Judging from their attire, these students are from the nearby Oriental Culinary Institute, right?"
"It must be the freshmen coming here for a training camp. As expected of young people, they are full of vigor and vitality."
"Yeah, we've been arguing so much that we're ready to have a cooking discussion."
"But I heard from them that we can judge it, so I'm going to try it. I'm actually quite curious about what they say about which flavor is more suitable."
Mingyue listened to other people's discussion while Xiaoman explained cooking theory to her.
Cooking debate is a unique form of competition in this dimension. It mainly involves two chefs competing in cooking skills, and finally judging whose opinion is better based on the dishes they prepare.
To some extent, words alone don't count; only by convincing the other party with your own skills can you win.
At this time, the teacher in charge appeared hurriedly and punched the hedgehog-haired boy on the head.
"Xiao Jin! Are you the one starting the trouble again?"
The hedgehog-haired boy covered his head and said, "Wow, teacher, I am wronged! We were discussing what kind of dishes are best to eat after taking a hot spring bath. And Wushuang also quarreled with me, why didn't you say anything to her!"
The short-haired woman named Wushuang spoke confidently, "Teacher Chanyi, this is a necessary discussion for us to pursue our own culinary path. Only through discussion can we continuously improve. So I propose a cooking discussion with Xiao Jin to see who of us makes more sense. Please help me taste the food as a judge."
The teacher covered his forehead and said, "Oh, no wonder Qingfeng doesn't want to lead the team. You kids really can't sit still. Okay, I'll talk to the hotel."
The person in charge of the hotel had already rushed over after hearing the news. She was a smart person. When she heard that the students from the Culinary School were planning to hold a cooking discussion here, she was very supportive and even offered to provide a conference room as a competition venue. The kitchen utensils needed for cooking would also be prepared in advance, and the ingredients could also be used ready-made in the hotel.
The only condition is that the hotel wants to live broadcast the cooking discussion on the hotel’s social media account.
It can be regarded as a disguised way of promoting the hotel by taking advantage of the popularity of the chef's discussion.
Xiao Jin nodded, "I'm fine."
Wushuang crossed her arms and said, "Of course, I will win anyway."
The teacher leading the team was helpless. "Since you want to have a cooking competition, then everything will be like a formal competition. The hotel manager and I will prepare a lottery box, and you will draw from it to choose the dish you will compete in later."
Xiao Jin and Wu Shuang responded with full energy: "No problem!"
After finalizing the cooking theory, Xiao Jin and Wu Shuang began to prepare, and the students quickly split into two groups, following behind Xiao Jin or Wu Shuang to cheer them on.
Mingyue glanced at the students and suddenly had a strange feeling.
In here? Why does someone look familiar?
But she shouldn't have many acquaintances in this dimension.
