Yu Xiaogang's Limited-Time Gourmet Cooking Encore

Yu Xiaogang pointed out several key points and the precise locations of the Meridians and Qi Sea to the students. Once he saw that they had all entered meditation, he said to Dean Kahn and the others:

"Dean Kahn, I'm going to have the cafeteria owner prepare a large table of food. The students are still growing, and you know how much energy the body needs during its first cultivation session. I've prepared some Nourishing Pills. Have the cafeteria owner simmer them into a pot of Bone Broth so the students can drink it in the cafeteria after they finish cultivating. I'll leave things here to you, after all, this is only their first time."

"Teacher Yu, go ahead and get busy. Leave this place to me. I'll watch over these children carefully with the other teachers."

After replying to Yu Xiaogang, Dean Kahn looked at the students in the cultivation room with kind eyes. Dean Kahn had never married in his life. He had long regarded the academy as the work of his life and the students as his own children, which was why he enjoyed such high prestige at Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Yu Xiaogang thanked Kahn and went to prepare lunch, intending to test out the original owner's cooking skills. He remembered that Yu Xiaogang's cooking in the anime had been excellent, and he himself had loved good food in his previous life. Today, he planned to cook a meal personally for himself and his students.

Yu Xiaogang found the cafeteria owner in the back kitchen. Thinking that he had come for lunch, the owner warmly greeted him. "Ah! Teacher Yu! What are you planning to eat for lunch today? We got some fresh soul beast meat in today, guaranteed fresh!"

"Thank you, Boss. Today, I'm planning to cook for my students myself. They're currently cultivating the Meditation Method I gave them and will need to replenish their nutrition afterward. Boss, we're old acquaintances, so let me borrow your kitchen. Use the best ingredients! The academy will reimburse it!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke generously to the cafeteria owner, who was initially somewhat doubtful. Could a teacher really cook better than he could? But who would turn down Gold Soul Coins? He immediately became even more enthusiastic, leading Yu Xiaogang inside while telling the nearby chefs to assist him.

Then, amid the baffled and astonished expressions of the cafeteria owner and chefs, they watched Yu Xiaogang skillfully chop vegetables, heat oil in the wok, and toss dishes. He also had the chefs carry plates and prepare ingredients according to his requirements. He simmered a huge pot of meat soup with medicinal herbs that nourished the body, and before long, he had filled an entire table with dishes.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the results of his work with great satisfaction. He even began to suspect that Yu Xiaogang had won over Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong through his cooking, making them fall hopelessly in love with him.

"Who would have thought Teacher Yu was hiding such talent! Even in a major city, your cooking would rank among the best!"

Looking at the table full of fragrant and appetizing dishes, the cafeteria owner spoke respectfully in astonishment.

"Boss, I used to cook for myself all the time. I just put in a tiny bit more effort than others. My skills are only average."

With a smile in his eyes, Yu Xiaogang humbly joked about his own cooking. Seeing the students who had come to eat constantly looking this way, he was suddenly filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Before long, Dean Kahn led the Elite Class students to the cafeteria. Before they had even entered, Wang Dachui's booming voice could already be heard.

"It smells so good! I'm starving! After cultivating Teacher Yu's Meditation Method today, I feel especially hungry. Boss! I want meat!"

"Wang Dachui! Keep your voice down! You've completely disgraced our Elite Class. Why does a City Lord's Son like me have to be in the same class as a brute like you?"

Xiao Zhan raised a hand to his forehead, wearing an expression like he was constipated. Although he was hungry too, he had to maintain the bearing of a City Lord's Son and could not act like a crude fool such as Wang Dachui.

"Alright~ Wang is just straightforward. Hurry up, let's go! I can already smell the food. Maybe it's just my imagination, but today's smell is especially tempting."

Si Si brushed back a strand of hair and defended her classmate with ladylike grace. Su Yuntao, standing behind her, was dumbstruck by the sight. When Si Si noticed, she giggled and teased him, "What's wrong? Our Work-Study Student boss, Su Yuntao? Is Sister beautiful?"

"!! I-I wasn't sneaking a look!" Su Yuntao's skin was far too thin. His face instantly turned as red as a monkey's butt. He felt like he had been caught peeking by his master and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"Haha! Su Yuntao, your face is so red! If you want to pursue our Sister Si Si, you'll have to be stronger than her! Weak boys have no hope of catching Sister Si Si's eye." Several female students teased him, giggling as they looked at Su Yuntao's red face.

"Alright, children. You've just finished your first cultivation session, and Teacher Yu has already prepared lunch for you. Go eat quickly! It won't taste as good once it gets cold." Dean Kahn said kindly, his eyes narrowed as he watched the students playing around before him. Youth really was wonderful.

When Dean Kahn led the Elite Class to the second floor of the cafeteria, they saw a table full of delicious food. Wang Dachui was the first to lose his restraint. After greeting Yu Xiaogang, he rushed over, took a seat, and began eating. As he ate, he kept saying how delicious it was while waving his classmates over.

"Xiao the Boss! Come quickly! Today's food is so good! I'm not waiting for you!" After saying that, Wang Dachui began wolfing it down, both hands working at once.

Xiao Zhan looked at his lackey and felt utterly humiliated. He could only cover his face as he stepped forward and smacked Wang Dachui, whose head was buried in food.

"Eat slower! Did you starve to death and reincarnate or something? You've completely disgraced your boss!"

Wang Dachui raised his head with a baffled expression, still chewing the shreds of meat from a large bone. "Xiao the Boss, it's really delicious. Why don't you try some?"

As he spoke, Wang Dachui held the large chicken drumstick in his hand out before Xiao Zhan. Looking at the drumstick covered in red sauce, Xiao Zhan could not help swallowing. As if possessed, he took it and bit down. His eyes instantly lit up, and he shouted to his classmates:

"Although Wang Dachui is a bit of a brute, today's food is really delicious. Hurry over and eat!"

Then Xiao Zhan turned and asked the cafeteria owner.

"Boss, I want a table like this tomorrow too. Money isn't an issue!"

The cafeteria owner knew Xiao Zhan's identity and replied with a bitter smile, "Well, Young City Lord, Teacher Yu personally made today's food. Our chefs don't have that kind of skill."

The students at the table found this unbelievable. Teacher Yu seemed incredibly versatile—he could do anything.

The Elite Class students then took their seats one after another and joined the battle for food. The boys were at least polite enough to let the girls choose first. After that, everyone relied on their own abilities to snatch what remained. One grabbed someone else's chicken leg, another snatched roasted ribs, and the place became exceptionally lively.

Compared to the boys, Si Si and the other girls ate far more elegantly, though they were no slower. After the meal, the relationships among the Elite Class students had grown closer. At the very least, those noble children had accepted Su Yuntao, the only Work-Study Student, and they had already become a close-knit group. Friendship between boys was just that simple.

Once Yu Xiaogang saw that the students had finished eating, he had the cafeteria owner serve them medicinal soup, one bowl each.

"This is a meat soup simmered with your teacher's exclusive secret medicine. After drinking it, go back and cultivate for a while, then take a two-hour nap. This afternoon, gather at the new Training Grounds on Academy Back Mountain. The medicinal soup will take effect quickly, so don't waste its medicinal power."

The Elite Class students listened closely to Yu Xiaogang. After drinking the medicinal soup, their already-full stomachs became warm, and they felt the blood and qi throughout their bodies begin to fill up. They each bid Yu Xiaogang farewell, then headed off in twos and threes to cultivate together.
