【Chapter 4 ~: Getting a Room】

『Polar Star Dormitory Kitchen』

--------

--------

I had just finished watching the cooking done by Sōma Yukihira. He had made a beautifully made Improvised Mackerel Burger Meal for Fumio Daimidō. I even tried a small piece and had to admit I enjoyed the taste. I took a moment to clean the cooking area, but after I finished cleaning. I quickly got the equipment I would need for my dish. First, I picked up a Wok. It was a medium-size one to me; it wasn't the heaviest I had used in my life nor was it a cheap dollar store brand.

I then brought the Styrofoam container I had carried with me. Just like I had done like last time (for the egg audition), I filled the container with all of the materials I would need for the dish I would make to earn my room. I then took out the ingredients. Fumio Daimidō watched me closely after I set up things and then began to remove things from the containers such as [Derous Kitchen Knife] and [Santoku Houchou knife]. I checked them; they were each beautiful in my eyes as they represented my wins and allowed me to use my abilities to their highest proficiency. I then began the prep works using both skills and magic to quicken the process going against the laws of heaven and earth. And I soon created all the things I would need for my surprise, mystery, dish.

I whipped my forehead with a towel I had hanging over my shoulder. I then took the wrapped meat and opened I heard a gasp from Fumio as this was a beautiful cut of pork meat, (in any opinion.) She watched as I did the prep, cleaned the meat, and then marinated and seasoned the [2-Ilbs ~ Orc General Belly meat] once this was done, I let it rest but also used 『Gravity Magic』to push the season and marinate thoroughly into the meat. While this happened, I picked up both of my services knives [Derous Kitchen Knife] and [Santoku Houchou knife]. I then used my skill gained from what I bought from the system from a series called Sword art Online 『Dual Blades』&『Starburst Stream.』

I rotated my wrist, getting the feel of my knives in a blink. I started carving the [2-Ilbs ~ Orc General Belly meat]into perfectly even size pieces. These actions didn't go unnoticed, but she didn't speak but watched as it got entertaining. I then, with skill and a steady hand, I began rolling the perfectly cubed orc meat into a mix of[cornstarch], [refine flour], [Black pepper mix from several worlds]&[ Aged 1,000 year Salt]. I then turned the pilot light and placed the wok using 『Temperature Control Magic』to speed up the heating-up the wok before I grabbed three then four bottles from where they had been placed on the work counter.

The first I opened was a slender black bottle; a smell of spring and oil filled the room. I then poured the content from the bottle; a clear gold oil [Refined Canola Oil]. This was followed by me closing and sitting down the first bottle before opening the second bottle, which was a medium-sized green bottle; as it opened, the smell of [sesame oil] filled the room, covering the first scent. I poured a smaller amount of this oil into the wok and continued using 『Temperature Control Magic』and 『Vibration Magic』to stir and fold the oil inside the pan keeping the oil from burning. I then closed the second bottle and set it back on the counter before grabbing a third bottle which was longer and more elegantly slender in appearance.

As I opened it, the smell of a mellow saltness washed over the room. I only poured several drops into the moving fluid in the wok, and soon the [Clear Soy Sauce]was absorbed into the others, and I closed that bottle and sat it down. I lifted the wok, stirred the solution, and used the 『Vibration Magic』 to stir it faster before returning the wok to the fire. After returning the wok, I grabbed a much smaller bottle, it was a silver bottle and opened it. There was no scent, but we locked eyes as Fumio Daimidō saw my handshake.

With utmost care, I sprinkled fluid from the bottle as this liquid hit the solution darkened the oily solution slightly. She then saw me turn up the pilot light on the burner bring the fluid to the proper heat while I controlled it with a mix of 『Vibration Magic』 and 『Gravity Magic』. I then began to add the diced and coated [Orc General belly meat]into the wok with the solution began to cook the meat while adding 『Tempture Control Magic』 to cook the meat faster. After several minutes I plated the golden cooked [Orc General belly meat]before plating it and setting it to the side I then grabbed the black bottle and added more [Refined Canola Oil]into the wok.

The magic controlled the oil in the wok, so I didn't worry about the sputter even after returning the wok to the heat. I then took out a chopping block; and retrieved vegetables from where they were on the counter [Chinese eggplant], [shiitake mushrooms ], [fresh ginger], [shallot], [cloves garlic], [celery ribs], [green bell peppers],[red bell peppers], [orange bell peppers], [green onion]&[ white onion]. I then clean my two knives in the sink before began dicing all of these things with my knives using 『Dual Blades』&『Starburst Stream』again perfectly prepping all of the items then adding it all to the wok.

I began cooking it and stirring the items in the wok using the heating oil for cooking and softening them; all the smell started to make everyone's stomach growl. I looked up and saw several faces, and I had to smile, but I went back to cooking. After the vegetables were perfectly cooked, I returned the cooked meat to the wok and folded and mixed the ingredients. I then took a bowl, adding the tomato paste, which I had created during my prep work. I took a whisk and began stirring it before adding concentrated lemon juice from one of my many bottles. I stirred the materials more. I then added a small amount of [Honey bee created Sugar], [Pink sugar from another world], and [Brown sugar]whisking it inside the bowl before pouring the bowl contents into the wok. And then I brought the whole thing to a boil.

While this was boiling, I took the pineapple from the counter, and I began cleaning the pineapple; I then diced the pineapple and slid them immediately into the wok to be cooked with the rest, and I then dripped a drop of rainbow fruit juice into the wok. I began to stir all of the ingredients before they became bright red.

While cooking, I took out a small sack of [Crystal Rice]and also brought out a rice cooker. I added the bag's content into the cooker with the appropriate amount of water and started the cooker. The smell of cooking rice mixed with the cooking meat; I grabbed a large serving bowl while I finished this. I also grabbed several plates and set those out on the counters. As I felt ready, I took the rice from the cooker into the bowl, turned away, and began portioning out all the rice between the plates. I then got the wok and serving spoon and scooped out a heft amount of the bright red meat and vegetable, pouring it beside the crystal-clear rice. I then back away, placed the wok into the sink, and turned off the burner before turning to Fumio Daimidō and said, "I present Spicy Szechuan Sweet and Sour Pork."

First, Fumio Daimidō took a plate, followed by the several students who caught the scent of my cooking. I watched as they all took the first bite, and with the look in their eyes, I knew they had been transported somewhere I just did know where.

Those who ate the dish found themselves being sent to a world they found themselves in an ancient world atop the great wall of China doing battle with a group of heavily armored pig-like men acting like they were from the world of Wuxia. They were attacking the walls with different types of black flame attacks setting the world around everyone ablaze, but as the heat grew, the battle intensified; the people who ate were fighting the pig warrior that was wielding weapons sheaved in flames, but the longer the battle went, the more comfortable everyone became and soon at the right moment the world shifted. from a grueling battle on a wall to a hot spring. Everyone was relaxing in the bath their body feeling warm, and the smell of fruit in their nose like the first world was just a dream, and this was the truth.

After a little while longer, everyone came out of the food bliss and found none of them were in their original clothing and were only in their undergarments, and they saw that I was finishing cleaning all the things I had used except for the plates I served the food on. They soon saw their clothing was gone; the female students had shouted and tried to cover themselves and ran off, followed by the guys asking if there was any food left. The only one that still had clothing was Old lady Fumio.

She walked over to the key shelf, grabbed a key, and then walked over to hand and me before saying, "Very delicious!"

She then left for her room and the sound of ripping could be heard, and everyone hearing this was completely shocking. I looked at the key and saw the tag sawing it was for room 69. I then put the key into my pants pocket and then got the dish to wash them.

"Sorry, guys, there is no more for today!"

I heard them grumble as I began to wash, but I smirked as I heard them leave, and then I started to whistle a tune.
