After everyone found their seats, they realized that there seemed to be quite a lot of dishes in front of them.
"Wow, this is so luxurious!" Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar dishes on the table, Shinji couldn't help but exclaim.
They were all poor people, and they couldn't afford such dishes.
These high-end ingredients, which they had only seen in gourmet magazines or on TV, they now had the opportunity to taste firsthand.
Just thinking about it made their mouths water.
"Yo, little brother, we meet again," Azusa didn't treat herself as an outsider at all, directly squeezing in and sitting next to Liu Ming.
This made Toru incredibly jealous, glaring at the provocatively dressed woman with gritted teeth.
She just couldn't understand why she had so many rivals, one after another.
"I didn't expect you to be here too. It's Summer Vacation, why are all of you staying at school? Is that really interesting?"
Liu Ming couldn't help but complain again. He knew that when he was a student, he wished he could stay at home every day.
"Of course we're staying here for training. That's nothing compared to you, the great writer, surrounded by beauties.
Tsk tsk~~, it's only been a year since we last met, I didn't expect you to become so formidable.
Mature, innocent, lively, and even adorable lolis.
You actually have so many cute young women around you, it's truly enviable," Azusa said in a joking tone.
Her gaze, however, occasionally swept towards Sora and Tadokoro Megumi, as they were her type.
"What are you talking about? They are my nieces," Liu Ming rolled his eyes.
"What does that matter? Love is all you need," Zi didn't care about such things; she was an equal-opportunity charmer.
Liu Ming was too lazy to argue with her anymore.
"Haha, how can such delicious food be without alcohol?" Jiro said, then immediately pulled out a dozen bottles of alcohol.
"No drinking," Liu Ming retorted without thinking.
"Why not?" Jiro was confused.
"How can you even ask? After drinking last time, weren't you two a mess? There are still many girls here; you don't really want to end up in jail, do you?" Liu Ming glared at him in annoyance.
Sora and the other girls blushed when they heard this. Their gazes towards Jiro and the other man became strange, as if they were looking at perverts.
The two of them, however, were completely oblivious, or more accurately, they were already used to it.
"Isn't this a banquet? How can a banquet be without alcohol?" Shinji also helped plead their case.
"I made soup. If you want to drink, have some soup," Liu Ming confiscated all the wine bottles on the table.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's eat." To prevent the two from arguing about alcohol, he immediately suggested everyone start dining.
"I'm not holding back," everyone began to pick up their chopsticks one by one.
Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of them, everyone truly didn't hold back.
Each person chose what they liked.
"Oh~~, is this Bluefin Tuna? The meat is so elastic, and it's surprisingly vibrant."
"First, eat the Akami, then the Chutoro, and finally the Otoro.
Only by eating in this order can you enjoy the different textures and layers that different parts of the Bluefin Tuna bring.
You can better experience the pleasure of the Bluefin Tuna's unique sweet triple-hit."
Liu Ming introduced the way to eat Bluefin Tuna sashimi to everyone.
"Oh my god, this is too delicious! It doesn't have that fishy smell, nor does it have the bloody taste of beef.
All it has is a unique sweetness, especially when eaten in stages, following Liu Ming's method for different parts.
That gradually increasing sweetness brings an impact that is dazzling and hard to control."
Nanahua's pretty face was flushed, and her eyes began to glaze over.
"What kind of meat is this sashimi? It's so tough, and it's incredibly fresh," Shinji also exclaimed.
"Pufferfish," Liu Ming looked at him calmly, then continued, "I prepared it, and I don't have a license for it."
Shinji, who was originally enjoying himself, instantly froze. He couldn't help but look at the manager.
The manager nodded with a look of sympathy.
Shinji gave Liu Ming a resentful look, then suddenly picked up a large string of pufferfish meat and put it directly into his mouth.
Liu Ming was stunned. This plot was wrong; shouldn't he be scared and trembling with fear?
He quickly reached out to stop the other person.
"What are you doing?"
"Of course, I'm eating more before the poison takes effect. If I'm going to die, I want to die full," Shinji said seriously.
"Get lost, if you eat it all, what will others eat?" Liu Ming couldn't help but laugh and scold him.
At this point, he also understood that he hadn't scared the other person at all; in fact, the other person intended to take the opportunity to eat more.
Chisa also began to taste. The first thing she tried was the steamed lobster made by Tadokoro Megumi.
As a child who grew up by the sea, she had eaten plenty of seafood.
But today, she discovered that lobster could be made to such a delicious extent.
What she used to make herself and what Tadokoro Megumi made now simply couldn't compare.
"You're really amazing," Chisa looked at Tadokoro Megumi, and the last bit of dissatisfaction she had towards Tadokoro Megumi vanished.
"Of course! Megumi is a Tootsuki student; she's amazing at cooking," Miyu explained.
"You're actually a student from that academy? I heard that academy is very difficult to get into. You're truly impressive," Nanahua also praised.
"Not at all, it's all thanks to my master's good teaching," Tadokoro Megumi waved her hands repeatedly.
"Aren't you a writer? When did your cooking become so good?" Nanahua asked curiously.
"You said Xiao Ming is a writer? What does that mean?" Miyu asked curiously, and several others were equally curious.
"Don't you know? Liu Ming is Teacher Liu! He's quite famous and has published many masterpieces."
"What?!" Sora exclaimed, jumping up.
