The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 110: The King of Volumes and Influence (Two Chapters in One)

Soma Yukihira looked away:
"Ye Shan, in two days, on Saturday, come to Pole Star Dormitory and watch Shenzhou's food show with us, right?"

Ye Shanliang snorted:

"No need, I'll just watch it at the research institute."

Then, Hayama Ryo said coldly to Yukihira Soma, who was closing the door with his back turned:

"Compared to the show, shouldn't you be more worried about the fall auditions preliminaries that start tomorrow?"

Xingping Chuangzhen looked strange and hesitated to speak:

"Ye Shan, you are also in Group A, right?"

"I'm in Group A."

Soma Yukihira: "The competition in our Group A may not be that fierce, but maybe we can see who has the higher score?"

Ye Shanliang: ? ?
"What do you mean, the competition in our group A isn't fierce? Is the overall strength of group B stronger than ours?"

Seeing Ye Shanliang's face full of disbelief.

Soma Yukihira's face twitched:
"You'll know tomorrow!"

So the next day, the annual Totsuki Autumn Trials were officially held.

It starts at 11:3 a.m., lasts for 2 hours and ends at : p.m.

In Group A venue.

After hearing about the rankings and scores of the students in the Group B venue next door, Ye Shanliang's face twitched.

He murmured to himself:

"Alice Nakiri 98 points?"

"Miyoko Hojo and Hisako Niito tied at 92 points."

"Tadokoro Megumi is fourth with 91 points."

"Takumi Aldini only ranked fifth with 90 points?!"

With 90 points, they could only rank fifth and failed to make the top four, thus losing the qualification to advance to the knockout round.

Ye Shanliang couldn't believe it.

This, this, is the competition really so fierce?

Let’s look at their Group A.

"Ye Shanliang scored 94 points."

"Kurokiba Ryo 93 points."

"Soma Yukihira scored 93 points."

"Misaki Subaru scored 91 points... Who is this person?"

Ye Shanliang felt vaguely familiar, yet unfamiliar, with this name that suddenly popped up.

"Yeah, who is Misaku Subaru?"

Soma Yukihira walked over, scratching his head and asked.

In the committee, the ninth of the Ten Elites, Eiyama Ezuya, who was in charge of the executor of this year's selection, raised his lips slightly with pride and said to himself:
"Subaru Misaki, the "Perfect Pursuer."

"A chef who believes in 'meticulous attention to detail', with superb cooking and tracking skills, can defeat his opponent by perfectly replicating the same dish as his opponent in the food battle and adding his own improvements."

In this way, 8 contestants who entered the knockout round stood out.

In the Group B arena.

Alice immediately took a photo of the final ranking and sent it to Xia An via WeChat:
“(picture.jpg) Great!”

"Master, your teaching was not in vain. I got the highest score among all the members in the preliminaries this time... 98 points!"

After sending it, I waited for a while.

But she didn't get any reply from Xia An. Alice pouted and felt a little disappointed.

"Is the master busy researching the dishes for the second show?"

Alice could only put away her phone and look up. She immediately saw a scene that interested her.

Miyoko Hojo scored 92 points.

This "senior sister" from the same school walked towards the outstanding student, Megumi Tadokoro.

At this time, Tansho Kei was surrounded and congratulated by the elders and villagers in his hometown.

She ranked fourth with 91 points and advanced to the top eight of this selection, which was a great honor for her hometown.

This is the culinary kingdom of Totsuki.

Those who can stand out among the top students in each class have culinary talents that are enough to brag about.

If he grows up successfully, he will undoubtedly become a famous chef who will become a golden name card of his hometown!
"Tasoko."

Miyoko Hojo approached the plain girl with big pigtails and said apologetically, "I misunderstood you before. You made it to the top 8, which proves your excellence."

"You are not a dead end or a burden."

Then, Hojo Miyoko bowed.

"Let's cheer together in the elimination round!"

Tansho Kei looked at Hojo Miyoko who turned away handsomely and said, "Thank you, Hojo-san."

"Wow--"

Yoshino Yuuki, who was also a girl in the Pole Star Dormitory, excitedly rushed over and hugged Tadokoro Megumi's neck:

"Xiao Hui, you are amazing. You actually made it to the finals~"

"I'll be Xiaohui's cheerleader and cheer for you from the stands!"

In the evening, many guests were called to the Pole Star Dormitory for a celebration and consolation party.

Except for the group of students who were originally in Polaris Dormitory.

The brothers Takumi and Isami, and Mito Ume were also called over as "members".

"To celebrate the end of the Autumn Trials preliminaries, let's drink..."

Everyone held up disposable paper cups filled with drinks.

corner.

The dormitory manager, Mrs. Fumoo, and Saiba Shiroichiro looked at each other with deep emotion.

This year, two students from Pole Star Dormitory made it to the quarterfinals, which can be considered a success.

Who knew, the crowd was celebrating noisily.

Chatting and chatting.

Yoshino Yuuki, who was the most cheerful and straightforward, burst into tears:

"I'm so unwilling to accept this. I've improved the dishes a lot under the guidance of Senior Cai Bo..."

This aroused the concerns of the students present.

In addition to Megumi Tadokoro and Soma Yukihira who have already advanced to the main competition.

Zenji Marui, Jun Itakezaki.

Brothers Takmi and Isami.

There are also Ryoko Sakaki and Izumi Mito.

Each person exhibited a different desolate demeanor.

Marui Zenji pushed up the frame of his glasses and said, "As expected, the fight between Group A was really fierce."

Takumi was probably the most unwilling among everyone to not make it to the knockout round.

"Yukihira, take my share and do your best!" Takumi punched Soma Yukihira.

Isami complained to Takumi:
"Brother, don't be unwilling."

"Senior Saiba gave extra lessons to everyone in Polaris Dormitory."

When it comes to getting guidance from the great "Shura".

Takumi blushed even more:
"Everyone in Polar Star Dormitory has the guidance of Senior Caibo."

"But that Hojo Miyoko, why?!"

It was obvious that Takumi was still very bothered by the fact that Hojo Miyoko scored 92 points, pushing him out of the top four.

After all, before this, Hojo Miyoko was not very famous among the first-year students, and Takumi never regarded her as a strong rival.

But it seemed that around the summer vacation, this girl had completely changed.

Mito Yumei also looked depressed:

"Yeah, why did Hojo Miyoko get 92 points?"

Hear the words.

Everyone in Polaris Dormitory fell silent instantly.

"Cough cough."

Isshiki Hui appeared in a nude apron, squinting and smiling, saying, "Actually, everyone in Polaris Dormitory, including me, has received guidance and instruction from Saiba-senpai."

"Mr. Hojo has also gained experience and improved under another famous chef in the Shenzhou food industry."

Soma Yukihira added, "The same is true for Alice Nakiri and Erina Nakiri. Like Hojo, they have made considerable progress working for the famous chef in Shenzhou."

The brothers Takumi and Isami, and Mito Izumi, all three looked confused.

"So, Nakiri Alice, who got the highest score of 98 points, also got it because of that famous chef..." Mito Yumei couldn't believe it.

Saiba Joichiro suddenly spoke up:
"When does the official knockout round start?"

Isshiki Hui looked around at everyone in the room and answered:
"In two weeks."

"So today is Friday, right? Tomorrow is Saturday?" Saibajo Ichiro said meaningfully to the brothers Takumi, Isami and Mito Yumi, "Tomorrow, the three of you should come over and watch TV programs together." Watch TV programs?

What kind of dormitory team building is this?

The three of them were even more confused.

Yukihira Soma pounded his fist and said excitedly:

"Yes, tomorrow is Saturday, and I can finally see the live performance of Shenzhou's "The Re-emerger of the Luminous Secret"! "

Seeing the three people were puzzled.

Yukihira Soma said enthusiastically:
"He is the master of Alice Nakiri, Erina Nakiri, and Miyoko Hojo.

Aren’t you curious about why Hojo and her classmates have made such remarkable progress in just one summer vacation?
To be honest, I am curious too!

Therefore, you must watch the live broadcast on time to see how amazing this celebrity chef is that even his dad praises him so highly!"

At this time, Tansho Kei silently added:
“In addition to this famous chef from Shenzhou, there are also Senior Shinomiya and Professor Shiomi.

The two of them will also compete in cooking skills with a group of celebrity chefs on this show!"

I heard that Jun Shiomi and Kojiro Shinomiya will also be on the show.

Takumi and others changed color and were moved.

Totsuki actually sent two very famous graduates with superb culinary skills to participate in the show?

And at the same time.

Nakiri family residence.

Another celebratory dinner was also going on.

"Master, why haven't you replied to my message yet?" Alice looked at her phone from time to time, somewhat absent-mindedly.

Erina Nakiri rolled her eyes slightly:
"Okay you."

"It's only 98 points, not a full ."

"Are you so persistent and strong in your desire to announce the good news?"

---

Night, Shu Airport.

Xia An and Lu Jiaxin and other members of the team came out of the terminal and got on the program team's special shuttle bus.

As soon as Lu Jiaxin got off the plane, she made a phone call to discuss something seriously.

"Boss Xia, the Lingyue Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism has personally invited you to go to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai after the second episode to hold a night market parade."

When Xia An heard this, he was amazed in his heart. Guangdong Province, one of the birthplaces of the eight traditional cuisines and famous for Cantonese cuisine, was the first to send a proposal for cooperation.

"What conditions did they propose?" Xia An asked.

Lu Jiaxin knew what her boss cared about most, so she cleared her throat and said:
"The former famous restaurant in Yangquan, the carving skills of Master Zhou Yu, and some of Master Zhou Yu's own cooking experience notes."

Xia An couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

Master Zhou Yu is the father-in-law of the cooking god Liu Maoxing.

Zhou Meili's father.

According to the records and stories of this world.

Later, when Liu Maoxing and others came into direct conflict with the Tai Chi cooking world, Master Zhou Yu also joined the battle, and even displayed amazing cooking skills that seemed like he could compete with the Eight Phoenix Immortals.

Therefore, Master Zhou Yu is not simply a "super chef".

He and his master, "Master of Ten Perfections" Luo Tian, ​​are undoubtedly hidden dragon chef giants.

"So this is a unique skill inherited from a dragon chef?"

"And the cooking notes he wrote with great effort and left for the later apprentices of Yangquan Restaurant?"

Xia An admitted that he was moved.

Lu Jiaxin added at this time, with a strange expression:

"The Lingnan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism also said that if you, Boss Xia, are willing to participate in the program "Who is the Leader of Yangquan Restaurant", there are additional conditions."

Xia An: ? ?

Uh-huh.

This is probably the fox's tail on the part of Lingyue Province.

He made a lot of calculations and first invited him to tour the night market stalls in several important cities in the province.

Before any specific personal connections have been established, they have already anticipated and wielded their hoes, openly poaching people.

Xia An really thought about it carefully.

嗏

"The Ju Xia Lou Competition" is broadcast every week, and this is only the second episode. In order to participate in the program, the number and frequency of his stall sales have been greatly reduced, and he has been frequently complained by diners recently.

If I have to take on another highly competitive show, I won’t have time to come up with recipes and develop dishes unless I can slack off.

"No."

"Let's just accept the night market parade cooperation in the three cities."

Hearing Xia An say this.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “In fact, the show ‘Who is the Leader of Yangquan Restaurant’ has been popular for 20 to 30 years, and its popularity has lasted for a long time. Just talking about the competition system and specifications, there is no rival in China that can compete with it.

Because, in addition to the nine-star chef competition system, there is also a special competition system above that!

But the time span of a special program is very long, one year is one season, and there are only four episodes in a year, in March, June, September and December! "

Xia An said with a smile:

"You've planned a special trip for me? I can't even think about it now!"

Lu Jiaxin stuck out her tongue:
"But my grandfather said, Boss Xia, you are very close to the special grade."

Xia An couldn't help but smile, then lowered his head and opened his phone.

After getting off the plane, my phone, which had regained network signal, immediately received messages from many friends.

Of course, the most messages came from Alice Nakiri, with more than a dozen unread messages.

I saw the final ranking of the Totsuki Autumn Trials preliminaries sent by Alice.

Xia An clicked his tongue.

In the original novel, Alice's score was 95, right? This time it was raised to 98, very close to the full score, which shows that his master taught her well, doesn't it?

As for Midori, he was very pleased with this "eldest disciple", who changed her fate against all odds and successfully made it to the top 8 knockout rounds.

What surprised Xia An was that Tanosuke Hui was not eliminated and her score was a little higher than he remembered.

They actually eliminated Takumi Aldini, the "King of Medicine Harem"?
"So it was Saiba Joichiro who was giving extra lessons to the people in Polaris Dormitory."

After Alice found out the hidden truth, Xia An felt strange.

Is he a catfish, a reel king?

Influenced by him.

Saiba Shiroichiro, who had originally let his son do what he wanted, could no longer sit still and joined the internal competition. He even gave emergency remedial lessons to all the students in Polaris Dormitory!
Tsk, do you mean to roll them all up for me?
About half an hour later, we took a car to the hotel where we stayed last time.

However, after getting off the bus, Xia An discovered that the square in front of the hotel had turned into a food truck exhibition.

"What's going on?"

Xia An was not aware of the situation at all, and looked around the hotel parking lot which was jammed like a car market.

A lot of food trucks setting up stalls.

Some are big, some are small, some have graffiti all over the body in the style of a young boy, and some are pink and cute.

Lu Jiaxin covered her mouth and snickered: "Hahaha, Boss Xia, have you forgotten that we went to visit the car factory after the last show?"

"I predicted it before, manufacturers are eager to take over this huge amount of traffic."

"Look—"

“Internationally renowned brands that don’t manufacture food trucks have also lowered their status and image to take advantage of your popularity!”

Xia An was shocked.

"Look at the style of this exhibition. Could it be that the venue was set up in the hotel where I was staying right after I left Shu?"

Lu Jiaxin said happily: "Of course not, it's been a whole week!"

"Don't worry about the hotel. The manufacturers must have paid a lot of money. The hotel owner must have been laughing like crazy these past two weeks."

Xia An shook his head. He had spent a lot of time and effort trying to make dishes these days. He didn't stop and went straight back to his room to take a shower and rest, so as to recharge his energy for the second episode tomorrow.

Of course, the news that he had arrived at Jinguan City and stayed there quickly spread throughout the Internet.

In Douyin.

Fans spontaneously came to the comments section of the latest short video to build a team:

[Bold prediction, Boss Xia will continue to win the first place in the second period! ]

[The first place is too low a standard for Boss Xia. Who dares to take a gamble? Can Boss Xia's dishes continue to get full marks in the second round? ]

[I’m not too optimistic. The second-term replacement contestant was officially announced by the program team at noon today. It turned out to be an ultimate veteran graduate who graduated from Totsuki more than ten years ago...]

[Shiomi Jun? I know this Professor Totsuki. He is said to have discovered several reliable methods of growing fantasy spices and invented a new method of long-term preservation of fantasy spices. Therefore, he is known as the "spice authority" in the Japanese food industry! ]

[I was shocked. How could such a person not be a special grade? He actually came to this small pond of nine-star celebrity chefs? ]

[Wipe your sweat… I think the program team should have done a strict review, right? It’s impossible for them to let in special-grade content for malicious purposes, right? ]

　Happy Children's Day everyone, be happy!

　　I have been quite busy in the past ten days this month, but I have not asked for leave or missed any updates (wipe sweat)
　　But habit is a terrible thing.
　　We can’t update like this!
　　Therefore, the update theme for the new January and June is paying off debts. The author will count the chapters owed based on the background chapter dates!
