The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 121: The Uncontrollable Power of the Wilderness (4-in- K)

“Congratulations to Chef Charme, his total score is 45 points!”

Suddenly, he heard the host's voice in his ears. Xia An looked up and found that when he left just now, Chalmers had actually submitted the dish and the judges had completed the review.

Seeing him looking over, Liu Shimeng said:

"Chalmers served a fusion Italian meal that blended the styles of many different cuisines and used three Bronze fantasy ingredients at a very high efficiency."

At this time, Shiomi Jun came over with a portable translator in hand and said:
"It may be that the three of us have successively created memories of dishes that received full marks in the mouths of the judges, and the performance of Chalmers' dishes has been lowered a lot."

The translator translated her words into Chinese. Fortunately, there was no serious rollover accident and the general meaning of the sentence was conveyed.

Chalmers also walked off the stage and went to the dugout.

He can speak Chinese. Looking at the three contestants who scored full marks sitting together, he sighed helplessly:
"Don't do this, it's so scary. I don't even dare to sit here."

"I always feel like a small fry like me is out of place with you great masters who have achieved the highest score."

This handsome Italian chef still had the leisure to joke, which shows that he was not worried that his score of 45 points would lead to his elimination in the second episode.

Xia An looked at him:
"You look relaxed?"

Chalmey sat on a single chair and stared at Xia An in silence:
"I know the quality of my cooking very well. If I use it in a high-level nine-star cooking competition, I can turn my opponent's special dish into a dumb bomb that won't make any waves."

"But the three of you have already surpassed me in terms of level. It's not my problem. The same goes for the rest of the latecomers, including Chef Shigong. Even if we all join together, we can't break the impression you left on the judges."

Just as Chalmers said.

In the next half hour, the remaining three chefs presented their dishes one by one.

Except for Kojiro Shinomiya who scored 47 points, the total scores of the other two chefs were only around 40 points.

In the end, the person who was eliminated in the second episode was Wang Tie, who had performed "Potato Stir-fried Rice Balls" in the previous episode.

then.

In the announcement of the beautiful host.

The second episode of "The Chrysanthemum Goes Downstairs Competition" has ended.

……

Ji Xing Liao.

Saiba Shiroichiro stretched and said with emotion: "The second half of the show was too boring. The three contestants who scored full marks all presented their dishes in the first half, which made the show lose its thrilling suspense."

Yukihira Soma looked at Shinomiya Kojiro who was forcing a smile in front of the camera at the end of the show, and said with some sadness:
"Senior Shigong is in jail. Those three guys are too strong!"

The speech about going to jail attracted the approval of his friends in Pole Star Dormitory.

And at the Nakiri residence.

"Alice, learn cooking skills from your master!"

After watching the show, Leonora had an intuitive understanding of Xia An's cooking skills.

At the same level as the nine-star chef, veteran Totsuki graduate Shinomiya Kojiro couldn't even go head-on with him.

It seems like these two people are no longer on the same battlefield.

"Hehe, of course!" Alice said confidently, "Even if Master whips me, I won't leave the sect. Besides, I'm already looking forward to Master coming to Totsuki School to judge the autumn trials finals!"

Nakiri Erina frowned and asked her grandfather Senzaemon:
"Why is there such a clear gap between the nine-star chefs? It's like there are countless hidden sub-levels within the nine-star level!"

Senzaemon could not deny it.
"In the same rank, every time a chef masters a 'weapon', he or she will become one point stronger."

"Controlling fantasy ingredients is a 'weapon', recreating ancient dishes is a 'weapon', the heart of a chef is a 'weapon', and extreme abilities are also a 'weapon'..."

"The more 'weapons' you develop, the deeper your foundation will be. Only then can you gain an advantage and come out on top in such a top-level duel!"

Nakiri Erina was curious: "Grandpa, in your cooking level, are you also continuing to accumulate 'weapons'?"

Senzaemon said slowly and meaningfully:

"It's the same principle. For example, when it comes to the special grade, what really makes the difference between the upper, middle and lower grades is actually the 'weapon' of the chef's heart. It's not just about strength and concentration, but also quantity!"

Nakiri Munee suddenly fixed his eyes and asked with concern:
"Father, can your triple food meaning begin to hatch?"

Seeing the old man with white hair, white beard and white eyebrows, he smiled and nodded his chin slightly.

As the eldest son of the direct lineage, Nakiri Munee was overjoyed and said:

"Then congratulations, father. You can now be called a pseudo-dragon chef!"

Nakiri Senzaemon smiled faintly:

“From the false to the true, and from the dross to the essence, it is still a long way to go.”

As he spoke, Senzaemon looked towards the TV screen.

At the moment the show ended.

The famous chefs on the field gathered in the rest area and actively tried to talk to Xia An.

Witness this scene.

"His momentum has been established." The old man's face was full of approval.

……

Inside the chrysanthemum building.

The famous chefs did not leave the venue, but came to discuss cooking skills with each other.

It seems that this has gradually become a routine after the "Juxialou Contest".

Most of the audience in the second episode did not leave, as they had all heard about the Easter egg segment at the end of the previous episode.

The famous chefs will not only communicate verbally, but also turn to the actual cooking process and taste each other's dishes.

"I've made six more servings this time." Liu Shimeng said with a smile, "If anyone is interested in my dishes, feel free to come and try them."

Chalmers said, "I also made extra ones."

Shinomiya Kojiro: "Same."

Except for Shiomi Jun who took over the position in the second period, no one said a word.

Xia An didn't say anything either.

Then, the other six famous chefs present all cast their eyes towards him.

"Boss Xia, are you ready?"

"You're not going to make it on the spot, are you? I don't want to wait. I want to eat your new interpretation of the Galaxy Noodles right away!"

Liu Shimeng and Xia An are relatively familiar with each other and can joke around, but others have to be much more polite and restrained.

Xia An was thinking about the ancient kitchen utensils. Hearing this, he was stunned and said:

"I also reserved a batch of squid ink noodles. Once they are blanched, sprinkle some golden salmon roe on them and they are ready to go."

Now, the eyes of the famous chefs became fiery.

When it comes to the three dishes that deserve full marks, they actually want to eat Xia An's the most.

Feeling everyone's desire and appetite, what else could Xia An say? He turned around and went back to his own Kitchen No. 7, pulled the two large balls of dough that he had specially reserved into handmade black noodles, and then boiled out 7 full bowls in one go.

Six celebrity chefs, each got a bowl.

Of course, as usual, Nakiri Managi showed up in time and took away her exclusive bowl.

The 7 bowls of noodles were divided up in this way.

Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin suddenly appeared and intercepted Nakiri Managi, expressing their strong curiosity:
"Why did Boss Xia always make exclusive dishes for you, Madam, at the end of the first and second periods?"

Nakiri Managi's lips curled up slightly, and her tone was light:
"Because I contracted the fantasy ingredients he needed to practice his trial cooking."

"That's all."

? ?
Chi Xiaobai suddenly understood and couldn't help but exclaimed in envy:

"I was wondering where Boss Xia got such a vast channel for fantasy ingredients!"

Wei Xuelin said in a gloomy tone:
"It turns out that the woman behind Boss Xia is Ms. Nakiri."

In front of the two people's sour gazes, Nakiri Masaki stood there with a flushed face, enjoying the bowl of noodles.

the other side.

Famous chefs such as Jun Shiomi and Liu Shimeng.

Tasted Xia An's "Fantasy Galaxy Noodles".

“No wonder the judges all said that there was a delicious black dragon running around in my body…”

The chefs were shaken. The squid ink noodles released the vitality of freshness in their mouths. At this moment, eating it was a pure and spiritual dark soul. Liu Shimeng and others trembled slightly.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of noodles and then drinking the soup, it was as if a kingdom of God from the distant deep space suddenly appeared before their eyes. They seemed to be travelers who had been wandering in the sea of ​​stars for many years and finally made a pilgrimage to His kingdom.

At the same time, the divine taste was so delicious that it almost broke through the top of the head, and every celebrity chef couldn't help but shed crystal tears from the corners of their eyes.

“It’s so delicious that it makes me cry!”

Xi Jianjun was filled with shock. The baby-faced female professor had tears streaming down her face, but she didn't even bother to wipe them away.

“The dishes bear such a strong imprint of the chef’s personal touch…”

"Is this his 'soul sauce'? I seem to understand why the commander-in-chief asked me to participate in this program!"

It can be said that Xia An’s culinary heart is so strong that he is almost the best among all the nine-star chefs that Xi Jianjun has ever seen.

How strong is it exactly?

Shiomi Jun always felt that he was just a thin thread away from reaching super-strength.

Charme and Shinomiya Kojiro beside them also finished the whole bowl of noodles without leaving a drop of soup. After finishing, they were still immersed in the shocking food scene of meeting the "priest" in the kingdom of God, and they were still very excited.

After a long while, Shinomiya Kojiro finally sighed: "This is the taste of the soul that I can't make. In this respect, I am far inferior to Boss Xia!"

Chalmers also praised sincerely:
"Boss Xia, your cooking skills are almost top-notch, right?"

Hearing this, everyone was looking at what Xia An would say.

Xia An smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I am still far from being a top grade person."

A bunch of celebrity chefs could only roll their eyes.

At this time, you still want to deceive fools.

I believe you!
"If in the next show, news came out that you were promoted to the special level and withdrew from the competition, I would definitely not doubt it!"

Wang Tie, the famous chef who was eliminated in this episode, said this, which attracted everyone's approval.

Then, it was Xia An's turn to taste the group's dishes.

Especially those of Shiomi Jun and Liu Shimeng.

From these two rivals who scored full marks, Xia An saw the "ceiling" of the nine-star chef.

It's not an exaggeration. If we say that as both are graduates of Totsuki, Shiomi Jun's accumulation and foundation are undoubtedly a level higher than Shinomiya Kojiro.

Xia An's "3D printed spaceship" has already reached a top-level level of skill and strength thanks to the blessing of technology.

Shiomi Jun's attainments in molecular gastronomy have absolutely reached a terrifying level of perfection.

As for Liu Shimeng's "New Chinese Fantasy Light Meals", Xia An was a little dumbfounded. Wow, is the extreme seasoning so strong? Every side dish in the food box is close to perfectly mastering a kind of fantasy ingredient.

Even when it came to the appetizer combination of "banana cucumber" + "bacon leaves", Xia An had the illusion that these two ingredients should be paired in this way, and that this was the perfect structure.

The key point is that in addition to extreme seasoning, Liu Shimeng also has [super sense of smell]. In other words, she can judge the characteristics of fantasy ingredients by capturing the flavor through her nose, while Xia An has to use a very stupid method and has to eat and try to figure out the characteristics of the ingredients.

If it weren't for the fact that he had upgraded Daddy's Kitchen Heart to blue quality and successfully controlled three silver-grade ingredients, the new version of the Great Galaxy Noodle he reconstructed would have been powerful enough. I'm afraid it would have been suppressed by these two people one after another.

I can only say it was very dangerous.

Finished two perfect dishes.

Xia An's feeling of being in prison suddenly dissipated a lot for this show and the remaining competitions.

He is by no means invincible!

You know, in addition to Food Wars and Cooking Master Boy, this world also has a strong shadow of "captives of food". Thinking of the "NEO Food Utopia" that contacted him by email last time, Xia An secretly warned himself that perhaps, there might be a nine-star cooking level, and it is possible that there are strong people who have awakened their "food skills" and "food cells".

Reality does not require logic. If he can suppress his realm, others may be able to do so.

even.

Even Kyo Nina who will fill in the next issue.

Xia An was looking forward to seeing how much of a threat she would pose to him.

In short, the bigger the threat, the more Xia An likes it.

It’s not some perverted idea, but Xia An is really looking forward to having a cooking showdown with those “god-level” nine-star chefs.

Just thought of Kyonina.

From the second floor stands, a greeting came:

"Boss Xia!"

When Xia An heard the voice, he looked up and saw Wu Zhu and Xiang Shilin waving at him in front of the railing on the second floor.

Kyonina is also there.

When his eyes met hers, Xia An saw a hint of provocation in the woman's eyes.

Although she didn't say anything, Xia An seemed to have received her declaration of war from afar.

"Last time at Chunxi Road Night Market, you said you wanted to be a famous chef?" Xia An looked up and said, "Now I am actually looking forward to you being a genius chef with god-level talent and extreme ability..."

After saying that, Xia An didn't explain anything and walked straight to find director Gao Shengqi who came out from the backstage.

"Sister, you can tell him that you have the ultimate level of fire, and you are from the lineage of the Eight Phoenix Immortals..."

Xiang Shilin felt indignant for Jing Nina, but his words were interrupted by Jing Nina with a wave of her hand.

Jing Nina said calmly:
"I can understand Boss Xia's feelings at this moment. He needs an opponent, the stronger the better."

At the same time, Xia An approached director Gao Shengqi.

At this moment, Gao Shengqi was listening to the report from the people behind the scenes.

"Director Gao, the ratings for the second episode are still skyrocketing."

“The actual number of people online on the live streaming platform is also very exaggerated, it can be called a phenomenon!”

"Director Gao, a sponsor just called to ask if they can add their brand logo to the chef's uniform. They asked for a sky-high price!"

After listening to the report, Gao Shengqi waved his hand:
"Call all brothers and sisters, let's go to the celebration party to celebrate the great success of this program!"

At this time, Xia An came up:

"Director Gao has something I want to ask."

"Boss Xia?" Gao Shengqi said politely, "You tell me, it's because of you that this show has become so popular."

"I want to find a place in the Juxialou Garden. The more spacious the better, and if possible, an open-air place..."

Listen to Xia An describe his request in detail.

And lots of charcoal.

The amount that fills up the spacious area and leaves only the central area empty.

Moreover, these charcoals must be buried with "solid alcohol" which makes it easy to ignite the whole thing.

This requirement alone will mobilize a lot of people to get busy.

Finally, Xia An said hesitantly:
"As for the ingredients, um, at this time, do you have any fresh big bluefish?"

It is already past eleven o'clock at night when the three-hour prime-time show ended.

Goldman Sachs was stunned:
"This is charcoal, and I need to bury it in solid alcohol to light it, and I need a big herring. Do you want to..."

Xia An said seriously: "I want to COS a "Tianxiong Roasted Green Fish"

"No, are you serious, Boss Xia?" Gao Shengqi was stunned. Of course he knew this ancient recipe.

Xia An just smiled and said, "Of course I am serious!"

He glanced at the antique kitchenware stored in the panel warehouse.

There are already Explosive Flame + Tianxiong Flame Wheel, and there is also the ancient kitchen utensil [Tianxiong Flame Chain].

If we don’t pay tribute to the Fiery Chef Asia Magazine from afar and try to recreate the Dragon Chef’s most classic dishes, we will be letting down the good luck of opening this box.

No Paleo recipes?
That doesn’t matter. The purpose is to cosplay as a tribute from a distance and to satisfy one’s desire. Xia An does not dream of making a complete version of the ancient dish.

He just thought that the Juxialou garden was large and suitable for a grand performance of explosions. He might not be able to find a venue if he returned to the hotel. Moreover, after enduring for so long, Xia An felt that he could no longer suppress the primordial power in his body, so he simply squandered the primordial power on the spot to cook a new dish.

“Fresh fish ingredients?”

"I remember the association's special transport plane just delivered a batch of goods to Shu tonight..."

Suddenly, the voice of Nakiri Masaki was heard from behind.
