Chapter 217: Chapter 216: Reward Banquet (Part 3)

"Instructor Xia and Chef Shigong..."

Tiqie Ailisha hesitated, planning to ask Eriina across from her if there was any secret between the two.

To her surprise, just as she opened her mouth, the banquet hall echoed with exclamations, as if it was a scene from a bomb explosion in a thriller, with a whooshing sound sweeping through like a typhoon!

"What happened!"

Everyone from the Polar Star Dormitory and at Ailisha’s table turned their heads to look, each one with their mouths agape.

Their position was relatively secluded, so the steamers hadn’t been distributed there yet. However, from the side door, several tables of students couldn’t wait to uncover their steamers, and then the entire table stood up in shock.

The commotion immediately caught the attention of everyone in the banquet hall, many students left their seats to watch, and in an instant, it became a dark crowd over there, with exclamations like watching a special effects blockbuster in a movie theater.

"It’s moving!"

"Oh my god, it’s a ’Divine Dragon’ flying through the clouds and mists!"

"Quick, record this with your phone, it’s unbelievable!"

Hearing the whispers of the returning students, the group from the Polar Star Dormitory and the Tiqie sisters felt restless.

Meanwhile,

In the side hall, waiters also brought plates of dishes to the table.

The graduates who had already finished work, had taken off their chef’s uniforms and changed into casual clothes, sat in front of the long table. They could all hear the commotion from the grand banquet hall, separated by just a wall.

"President, this is Instructor Xia’s main dish!"

Sena Hikari instructed two assistants to place two sets of steamers on the table.

"Heh, interesting!"

Dojima Yin’s eyes shone brightly as he fixed his gaze on the tall stacked steamer.

"Let me unveil the mystery—"

Qian Rixiangzi, much like the young girls in the banquet hall outside, was the first to get up, her eyes filled with curiosity and desire, quickly reaching out toward the steamer.

Bam!

A swift and precise karate chop struck Rixiangzi’s arm.

Shigong Xiaoci Lang stood up, his voice solemn, "Sit down!"

"What the—" Qian Rixiangzi protested.

Shigong didn’t waste words with her, with a click, he lifted the steamer cover, and at once, white mist surged out!

Hmm?!

The graduates all stared wide-eyed.

In the white mist, there was a serpentine shape, a red head, a red body, a red tail, and two long red whiskers, very much like something mythical, slowly raising its forequarters.

The side hall was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

"...Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh..."

The sound of steam rising at that moment was like the divine dragon’s breath.

The divine dragon in the mist was full of divine aura, and amidst the surging breath, the two red whiskers fluttered and danced!

A dynamic scene!

Shigong Xiaoci Lang, who had uncovered the steamer, seemed struck by lightning, his arm stiff in midair, his eyes fixed on the "Divine Dragon" slowly rising from the steamer, a hint of shock in his gaze.

"This, this..." Shigong exclaimed, "Why are the dumplings moving!"

His voice broke, slightly shrill.

But the graduates present, including Dojima Yin, were also absorbed in the stunning dynamic scene, no one responded to him.

Without a doubt, Xia Yu, influenced by Eriina and his childhood sweetheart, consciously crafted the food more beautifully and exquisitely while cooking, earning the title of ’artist among chefs’ during the Food War with Lancelot.

Similarly, the ’Ascending Dragon Dumplings’ in the steamer were splendid, like a work of art.

Just from the ’Dragon’s Head’ alone, it was carved from a shrimp head, each cut meticulously detailed, especially the eyes, slightly narrowed, elongated, possessing an almost tangible majesty.

Speaking of carving, there was also carved cuisine in Chinese food, but Xia Yu was not deeply involved in that cuisine. He simply relied on his finely honed knife skills, practiced in the Chef God Space, having carved countless dragon heads day and night, striving for perfection in every detail.

Hence, there was the scene of the dragon’s divine might bursting forth the moment the steamer was unveiled!

Astonishing!

Dumbfounded!

Even the well-experienced graduates were stunned. It was imaginable what a severe shock was inflicted on the students in the outside hall.

"Phew..."

Dojima Yin was the first to come back to his senses, his eyes retracting his astonishment. He stood up straight, not using chopsticks, ignoring the heat, he directly grabbed the ’Ascending Dragon Dumplings’ and placed them in his hand for close observation.

From a distance, the ’Ascending Dragon Dumplings’ looked awe-inspiring.

Up close, Dojima Yin was in awe of the craftsmanship of the cook!

Details full of intricacy!

Not to mention the ’shrimp head,’ the long strip dumplings that made up the dragon body were also full of detail, with densely textured scales on the surface dough, contrasting with the thoroughly cooked red filling inside, lifelike.

Not rushing to eat, he rubbed the dumpling’s surface with his palm, Dojima Yin smiled wryly, "That kid... is indeed insane!"

"Turns out he’s quite accomplished in the realm of pastries too! He hid it well!"

At these words,

The others returned to their senses.

Qian Rixiangzi slapped her hot forehead, murmuring, "I almost forgot, this is Instructor Xia’s dish, not some magic cuisine!"

"Wrong! It’s indeed magical cuisine!" Shigong Xiaoci Lang insisted, locked in on the term "magic."

"Uh..."

The other graduates exchanged speechless glances.

Dojima Yin held the sizable ’Ascending Dragon Dumplings’ in his hands, looking back and forth. Before long, a smile blossomed at his lips, "I see, two different types of dough... What an ingenious idea! Brimming with creative brilliance!"

"President, tell us how it’s done!"

The graduates were still a little confused, unable to quickly engage their brains like Dojima Yin. Qian Rixiangzi grabbed his sleeve, being a curious kitten.

"Look—"

Dojima Yin removed the dragon head and tail from the ’Ascending Dragon Dumplings,’ and suddenly the dumplings seemed ordinary. He pointed to the top and bottom layers of the dumplings’ dough and began his explanation.

...

The grand banquet hall.

The group from the Polar Star Dormitory and the Tiqie sisters anxiously waited for a little while, finally, an assistant brought the steamers to the table.

"Who will unveil it?"

At the Polar Star Dormitory table, nine people exchanged glances, each showing signs of wanting to be the first to experience the thrill of unveiling the mystery.

"Haha, let me!"

Xingping Chuangzhen, true to his bold nature, stood up with a cheerful smile.

Without waiting for his companions to react, he quickly moved the tiers of the steamer aside, and with a flurry, white mist engulfed him completely!

Even knowing beforehand, everyone was still stunned by the slowly unfolding scene that followed.

"The dumplings are moving!"

Holding their breath, with dazed expressions, watching the ’Ascending Dragon Dumplings’ rising confidently from the steamer, everyone at the table gasped.

Food that moved!

The neighboring table, the Tiqie sisters were already on their feet in shock, and their respective attendants, Hei Muzhang Liang and Niho Fuyuka, wore the same expressions of awe.

"The important thing about cuisine is still the taste!"

After a while, the bold Yoshino Yuuki, patted her flat chest, snatched a tier of the steamer in front of her, secretly swallowing saliva.

Skillfully removing the shrimp head and tail from the dumplings, with a pair of chopsticks, she clamped down on the ’Ascending Dragon Dumplings’ whose size equaled three or four regular dumplings and bit off a large portion.

"Mmm!"
