"Hahaha, sure enough, my restaurant is still very good. Look at so many people coming to taste my food. Sure enough, I am very talented. It has been decided. After this Moon Festival, I will compete for the position of the top ten!"
In his own Sichuan restaurant, Kuga looked at the scene in front of him with great enjoyment, fish-flavored pork shreds, boiled pork slices, lamp shadow beef, Spicy shrimp, stir-fried beef with sharp pepper, chestnut roast chicken, and spicy chicken were served one by one, and each guest was also eating the food with gutsu!
Apparently, Kuga in this period did not make as much spicy food as in later plots. Although there are still many spicy elements, all kinds of Sichuan dishes are still very authentic.
People also enjoy eating, but Kuga feels that something is missing in his dishes.
Then, he saw, in a corner, a middle-aged man with long hair dressed as a priest was frowning and eating a plate of mapo tofu in front of him
Seeing the expression on that person's face, he couldn't understand it for a long time.
"Sir, you don't seem to like my food." Kuga came in front of this figure, as a chef, to let a guest frown while eating his own food, this is simply an insult to him!
And after hearing Kuga's voice, the figure in front of him raised his head and looked at Kuga, "You are the chef of this Sichuan restaurant, your dishes... are too unauthentic."
Kotomine Kirei's words left Kuga stunned, and then that shock turned into intense anger. "Hey! You bastard, say that again! My Sichuan cuisine isn't authentic?! How is it not authentic?" Kuga glared at the figure in front of him furiously. After listening to Kuga's words, the figure put down the spoon in his hand and said, "My name is Kotomine Kirei. I've been eating mapo tofu for ten years, but your mapo tofu is total rubbish."
"Ha?! Hey!!! If you don't explain what's wrong with my food today, don't blame me for treating you like a troublemaker! Let me tell you! You can insult me, but insulting my food is unacceptable!"
Looking at the enraged Kuga, Kotomine Kirei suddenly stood up and pointed to the "Sichuan" character on Kuga Sichuan restaurant's sign. He said to him, "Do you know there's a saying, Hunan people aren't afraid of spicy food, Guizhou people aren't afraid of spicy food, but Sichuan people are afraid of food that's not spicy enough. And your mapo tofu, whether it's the flavor or the spice, is rubbish! If you can't bring out the intense heat in a dish that's supposed to be all about spiciness, then tell me, why shouldn't I call your mapo tofu rubbish?"
"Huh? My mapo tofu isn't spicy enough? It seems you've had some really spicy mapo tofu!" Kuga looked at Kotomine Kirei in disbelief, but Kirei calmly went to the side, put on an apron, and started making mapo tofu right in front of Kuga Teruki.
You're asking if Kotomine Kirei can cook?
Don't underestimate Kotomine Kirei. In the world of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, Kotomine Kirei used mapo tofu to win over people, including Irisviel and Rin.
Little did Kuga know, Kotomine Kirei is quite skilled in preparing mapo tofu! He has a lot of experience with this dish, among other things!
Soon, a steaming plate of mapo tofu was ready!
Looking at the dish in front of him, Kuga was momentarily stunned. To be honest, with the discerning eye of a future elite ten like Kuga, this plate of mapo tofu wasn't perfectly cut and didn't seem fragrant enough. However, as a chef, Kuga decided to taste it first before passing judgment.
With this in mind, Kuga took a bite of the mapo tofu. He had prepared himself with various criticisms, but he was astonished after tasting it!
"It's so spicy!!! So flavorful!!! What kind of taste is this?! It's spicy enough to make my tongue tingle, but the delicious flavors keep coming in waves, hitting the tip of my tongue! The mapo tofu in my Sichuan restaurant can't compare to this! This kind of numbing spiciness is exactly what I've been searching for in real food!"
While the taste of his mapo tofu may not compare to that of a professional chef like him, Kotomine Kirei's dish was a hit, especially in terms of the numbing spiciness!
Looking at the shocked Kuga, Kotomine Kirei patted Kuga's shoulder and said directly, "Young man, you still have a long way to go on the mapo tofu journey."
After Kotomine Kirei finished speaking, he left here directly, and seeing him leaving, Kuga suddenly had a flash of inspiration! That's right! That's it! This is my pursuit! Kuga immediately returned to his seat and made mapo tofu according to Kotomine Kirei method, and the color and aroma far surpassed the Mapo tofu made by Kirie. After all, he is a professional chef, so there is no comparison!
And at this moment, after tasting the mapo tofu he made, Kuga couldn't help but shed tears of emotion!
"This…this is the real mapo tofu! I finally understand!!!"
If Alexander saw this scene, he would definitely point to Kotomine Kirei and say, so it turned out that this kid went astray, and it was you who led him astray?
But having said that, this Kotomine Kirei is definitely not from fate/zero, but from the future timeline!
