The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 14 Coach, I want to learn cooking

"Chef Xia, I want to learn cooking from you!"

Hojo Miyoko's sincere voice echoed in the hotel corridor late at night.

Xia An: "What?"

He thought that this strong and athletic girl was unwilling to accept defeat and was trying to save her reputation by saying harsh words.

Who knew that he would open his mouth with the ultimate classic sentence like "Coach, I want to learn basketball", which immediately confused Xia An.

"With your family's financial resources, wouldn't it be easy to hire a nine-star chef as a private tutor?"

Xia An had just finished speaking this question.

Tong Kun suddenly popped up:

"Do you think a nine-star chef is a cabbage?"

"Let's just say that among the graduates of Totsuki Academy, after the 80th class, no one has been able to reach this level!"

Xia An said:

"What about the 80th graduate, the "Queen of the Mist", Inui Hinatako, what is her current culinary level?"

Tong Kun exclaimed:
"You know a lot. Have you ever worked in the Japanese food industry next door?"

"Forget it, let's not dwell on this. The Empress of the Mist, Inui Hinatako, doesn't have nine stars. It is said that Shinomiya Kojiro, who graduated in the 79th class, has only touched the nine-star realm in the past one or two years."

"So, you can imagine how rare nine-star chefs are. You can't hire these big guys as teachers even if you pay money. They are busy figuring out their own way to becoming a top chef!"

At this time, Hojo Miyoko came to Xia An, bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and said:
"Master Xia, please teach me how to cook!"

The call of "Master Xia" made Xia An feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Look, a famous character from Food Wars! Soma, a high school beauty, has to bow down to him.

Tong Kun continued, "It was me who suggested to Miyoko that she learn cooking from you."

"The Hojo family doesn't have many connections in Shenzhou, so Miyoko took a flight to Lijiang City to find me as soon as Totsuki had her summer vacation. Of course, I'm just an ordinary four-star chef."

Xia An: "No, Director Tong is too modest."

"I am just introducing you and giving you some advice. As for the rest, you guys can discuss it yourselves. I have no right to interfere."

Tong Kun changed the subject after saying this.

His expression suddenly became serious:
"Well, Mr. Xia An, bronze member, after this late-night food battle, your cooking rank in the Late-Night Cook Association has been upgraded to three stars. Please open the [Late-Night Cook] APP to check it out."

Xia An: ? ?

After a pause, he opened the app and found that the information on his personal page had been updated.

[Xia An, male, 28 years old, bronze member, three-star chef of the Late Night Cooking Association, specializes in Cantonese cuisine.]

So, he just acted like a No. 6 once, pretending to be a novice late-night chef and blew up a fish pond. But this No. 6 BUG was fixed immediately after the food battle was over?

I'm sorry!

Tong Kun added with a smile:

"If it weren't for the program, I couldn't directly rank you, Mr. Xia An, at four stars. Otherwise, your rank would have to be one star higher."

Xia An's mouth twitched slightly:

"That's enough. Three stars for cooking skills is enough."

Tong Kun smiled meaningfully and said:
"Generally speaking, those with three-star cooking skills or below are bronze members, those with four to six-star cooking skills are silver members, and those with six stars or above are gold members."

"I guess you've already browsed the fresh food mall on the app and found that only [Bronze Level] fantasy ingredients are on sale, right?"

"Different membership levels have different permissions, so the goods in the mall will naturally be different!"

Xia An stroked his chin and pondered:

"So, if I become a Silver member, I can buy [Silver Level] fantasy ingredients?"

Tong Kun couldn't help laughing when he saw Xia An's face full of interest:

"You see, no chef can resist the temptation of more advanced fantasy ingredients!"

"According to the association's strict procedures, you must participate in three shokugeki competitions. If you can come up with a four-star quality dish each time, you will be promoted to the silver group!"

"However, if you have enough confidence, you can also challenge a four-star chef who is already in the silver group. If you defeat him, you can directly upgrade your membership level!"

……

……

To start a shokugeki competition against a four-star chef? How could it be that easy? A shokugeki competition among four-star chefs is already a competition of culinary skills among the top ten chefs of Totsuki. The stakes could never be as high as one million dollars.

Speaking of food wars betting.

On the personal page where the changes have been updated.

Xia An also saw the account balance, there was a sum of 2 million funds that had just been transferred in. One million of it was the mandatory payment when he made the reservation for the food battle.

Another million.

Of course, the bet is Hojo Miyoko's defeat.

"Not bad. With this money, our family, which is not rich to begin with, will have enough to splurge on. We can continue to run a roadside stall and become a cooking god." Xia An said self-deprecatingly.

Return to the lounge.

I saw Lan Xiaoxi still sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Xia An's heart suddenly fell back into his stomach.

It’s good that his daughter didn’t cry, otherwise it would be awkward for him as a new dad because he wouldn’t know how to comfort a child.

"Xiao Xi, let's go home." Xia An thanked the waitress who was taking care of her and picked up her daughter.

Lan Xiaoxi seemed to feel her father's breath while she was sleeping, and she mumbled in her sleep: "Daddy, Xixi wants to eat something delicious..."

"Okay, okay, I'll make some lost ancient dishes for Xiaoxi tomorrow."

Xia An shook his head in amusement and walked quickly towards the parking lot outside the hotel.

Toot——

New energy vehicles unlocked.

Bending over and putting his daughter in the back seat, Xia An saw that his daughter turned over uncomfortably and it seemed unsafe during the driving, so he muttered to himself:

"It looks like I need to go to JD.com to buy a child seat. It can be delivered and installed during the day."

After saying that, he slammed the car door.

When Xia An turned around, he almost bumped into Hojo Midori, who was standing silently behind him.

"Ah, you're still here?"

Xia An was shocked.

Hojo Miyoko carried her suitcase and said seriously:
"Master Xia An, I want to learn cooking from you."

Xia An's mouth twitched: "..."

Girl, does she know that it is the middle of the night?

How can you carry a suitcase and go to someone's house when you meet for the first time? This is a test for the old cadres.

No, the late-night food battle that started at three in the morning has ended, and it’s already past five!

He hesitated.

"Forget it, get in the car!"

Xia An simply didn't bother to think about it, greeted him, and then sat in the driver's seat.

Hojo Midori sat directly in the back seat, rested Lan Xiaoxi's head on her thigh, and used her other hand to support the little loli's body to prevent the little loli from rolling when the car started or braked suddenly.

Seeing this scene in the rearview mirror, Xia An raised his eyebrows and said jokingly:
"You are quite skilled. It seems you have taken care of children a lot?"

Hojo Miyoko: "I have a sister who is about the same age at home."

"Your parents had a second child?"

"Ah."

"OK, you will learn cooking from me this summer."

This time it was Hojo Miyoko's turn to be confused.

What happened? Why did you suddenly change your tone?
The girl had no idea how overjoyed Xia An was at the moment.

The free apprentices who come to your door are in strong physical condition and can be used like cattle and horses.

The key point is that she also has experience in taking care of children!
She is also a famous character in the Shokugeki anime, and Xia An can continue to get blue [Drugging] talent fragments from her.

Hold the grass.

She performs three functions: kitchen helper, babysitter and debris collector.

How could I not accept such a disciple?
The city was empty as dawn approached, so Xia An drove home quickly.

Let Hojo Miyoko go upstairs to choose a room.

After settling his daughter down, Xia An sat on the sofa, took a deep breath, and opened the panel.

Look at the free attribute point displayed as the number "2".

Xia An didn't have to think about anything anymore.

It hit the recipe illustration of "Liebingxian Taishan" directly!
