White-Haired Cinderella Beef, capture level below 1.
In the world of Toriko, it primarily came from large breeding farms. Although wild ones existed, there wasn't much difference; in fact, the farm-raised ones often tasted better.
These cows had an average body length of about 3.5 meters, stood 1.8 meters tall, and generally weighed around 2.5 tons.
The piece of meat Yuuki obtained was pork belly—well, beef belly. For beef, the belly cut wasn't typically considered the best, but White-Haired Cinderella Beef was completely different.
The belly portion of White-Haired Cinderella Beef was rich in collagen, not only boasting an excellent texture but also having beautifying effects.
It was rumored that those who ate this meat would have skin as beautiful as Cinderella's—making it highly popular among women.
Yuuki didn't care about this. Compared to the so-called beauty effects, he was more interested in just how delicious this meat was.
Although he was quite tempted—Yuuki didn't immediately take it out to cook. After all, this was still the Totsuki Resort.
White-Haired Cinderella Beef didn't exist in this world. To be on the safe side, Yuuki chose to go out.
There were quite a few markets around the Totsuki Resort, so he planned to take a stroll. That way, even if the meat was noticed, he could make an excuse that he bought it outside.
This wasn't being overly cautious—Yuuki considered that this was meat from the world of Toriko. Although he had never eaten meat from Toriko, its overpowering aroma might attract others.
Yuuki couldn't completely seal in the aroma, so he used this method.
Anyway, others wouldn't know this meat appeared out of thin air. When the time came, he could just shift the blame, letting anyone curious about the meat stake out the markets.
Once he returned to Totsuki and was at the Polar Star Dormitory, eating such ingredients wouldn't be a problem.
The Polar Star Dormitory's location at Totsuki was quite remote.
After wandering outside for a bit, Yuuki cut off about two kilograms of beef from the piece in his space, then brought it back to the Totsuki Resort and headed straight for the kitchen. He couldn't wait to taste the deliciousness of this meat.
With two kilograms of beef, Yuuki didn't plan to use just one cooking method. Taking out his Seven-Star Knives, Yuuki cut the meat. Part of it was cut into chunks, intended for braised beef.
This was the belly portion, so it was indeed very suitable for braising.
Another part was sliced—Yuuki planned to try making that Double-Cooked Pork dish from the world of Cooking Master Boy.
That dish was made by Mao when facing Alkan.
At that time, Mao used the Spring Restaurant's secret fire control technique—the "Divine Art of Fire Control."
Secret techniques in the world of Cooking Master Boy weren't exclusive to the Dark Cooking Society—other families and factions also had them.
The Spring Restaurant's secret technique was the Divine Art of Fire Control.
Although it couldn't compare to Alkan's Inferno, the advantage of a secret technique was that it could be passed down, whereas Alkan's Inferno might not be; that talent wouldn't necessarily be inherited by his descendants.
Yuuki didn't know the Divine Art of Fire Control, but he had Inferno. Whatever the Divine Art of Fire Control could do—Inferno could definitely do, as Inferno was an ability superior to it.
After preparing the various ingredients—Yuuki once again activated his Inferno ability. The fire safety system in the kitchen he was currently in had been turned off; this was his exclusive kitchen.
There was no choice. When Yuuki cooked using Inferno, others simply couldn't stay in the same kitchen with him.
Short periods were fine, but over a longer time, other chefs couldn't stand the high temperatures.
Chefs themselves have some resistance to high temperatures, being in hot kitchens all day. But Yuuki's heat clearly exceeded their tolerance.
So, Yuuki's kitchen was exclusively his. During the trial period, the fire safety systems were all off, and only he was inside.
As the flames rose, the temperature in the entire kitchen began to climb rapidly. And as Yuuki cooked, a rich aroma started to spread in all directions.
Just as Yuuki had thought earlier, the aroma released when cooking White-Haired Cinderella Beef was extremely rich, incomparable to ordinary meat.
Furthermore, both the Double-Cooked Beef and Braised Beef Yuuki was making had very intense aromas, causing the scent to spread over a very wide area.
As the aroma continued to spread, most of the people strolling outside, working in the buildings, or resting were attracted by this scent.
"What a fragrant smell! It's past mealtime, isn't it? Is the Totsuki Resort developing some new dish again?"
Many guests attracted by the aroma began to guess if the Totsuki Resort was researching some brand-new cuisine.
"The smell is coming from over there—Let's go take a look."
People from outside and inside the buildings soon gathered near the kitchen. However, because the kitchens here weren't open to the public, tourists couldn't enter.
Moreover, Yuuki's kitchen was his exclusive one—even staff couldn't just casually enter.
Seeing more and more guests gathering outside, to prevent an incident, the staff could only report to their superiors.
Soon, even Gin Dojima was alerted.
When he arrived at the scene, he also smelled the enticing aroma. He too was very surprised, as this was a scent he had never smelled before.
It felt like beef, but also somewhat different.
Although he didn't know what Yuuki was doing inside, Gin Dojima knew very well that he had to resolve the current situation first.
"Head Chef Dojima, are you guys researching some new dish again? Please, I must have a portion, right now!"
Upon seeing Gin Dojima, some guests couldn't hold back anymore. If it weren't the Totsuki Resort, he would have already barged into the kitchen for such an enticing aroma.
"Everyone, we are not researching any new dishes. This kitchen is the dedicated kitchen of a chef who is currently interning here..."
Gin Dojima was also helpless.
He didn't want to casually make promises to the guests here, as he didn't know what Yuuki was up to.
Moreover, Yuuki was still a student—He was only here at the Totsuki Resort to learn; he would still return to Totsuki when school started.
Under Gin Dojima's explanation, the guests eventually had to disperse reluctantly. However, before leaving—they repeatedly urged Dojima and other staff members to inform them immediately if there really was any new dish.
Watching the departing guests, Gin Dojima also breathed a sigh of relief. He dismissed most of the staff, leaving only a few to stand guard, while he himself directly entered the kitchen.
He was very curious about what exactly Yuuki was doing...
