The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 158 Dinner at the Nakiri House (4K)

Xia An came to live in the Nakiri family house.

After all, Jing Nina is a famous chef in North America and a descendant of the Eight Immortals of Phoenix.

As a result, she received the next level of hospitality and was arranged to live next door to Xia An.

It's still daytime now, so kill off the afternoon before it's time for dinner.

As one of the top culinary families in Japan, the Nakiri family naturally has a professional kitchen in their manor.

Xia An did not plan to rest and applied for the use of a professional kitchen.

"Master, while you are staying at this house, this will be your exclusive kitchen."

"If you need to gather ingredients, you can contact the butler."

After not seeing each other for a while, Alice and Erina were both a little clingy and followed Xia An to the kitchen.

However, since he was a disciple, Xia An had no intention of chasing him away.

I saw Xia An carrying a heavy box of live food ingredients.

Alice volunteered to help, "Master, let me carry it!"

Erina was surprised that Xia An came to Japan and still kept the food box in his hand, "What's in it? Master, have you checked in the live food for international flights?"

"A colorful ribbon fish."

Xia An just smiled and said, "I just finished foster care yesterday and was picked up from the Late Night Cooking Association."

Sisters: ? ?
In other words, after withdrawing from the third episode of the competition, the master will immediately start researching new ingredients and new dishes?

The two genius girls from the Nakiri family are both very smart.

Thinking back to not long ago.

Xia An made an agreement with two legendary graduates, Gin Dojima and Ichiro Saiba.

One party will present ancient dishes with edible meaning at tonight's banquet.

The other party came up with the "answer" recipe.

Even though she didn't quite understand it before, the genius girl from the Nakiri family also knew about the existence of the "Life Menu" just now after listening to the conversation.

In addition, all the recipes that can be put on the "Menu of Life" are called "Answers".

Erina smelled something and murmured, "Colorful hairtail? A golden ingredient?"

"Could it be..." Alice's red eyes were filled with mystery, "Master, are you going to start studying the eight recipes of the "Life Menu" and try to fill in the 'answers'?"

Xia An cast a look at Ruzikejiaoye, "I have already mastered the more difficult 'Food Meaning', what's wrong with starting to study the 'Answer' recipe?"

The sisters were speechless.

It really is!
Food ethics... that is Chef Lin’s exclusive secret.

But the answer recipe is not.

Take those two legendary graduates as an example.

Senior experts all have at least two or three answer recipes.

Xia An opened the box of live food ingredients.

The sound of the oxygen concentrator finally came out.

In a special liquid water that is ocean blue.

A long and narrow hairtail fish with colorful body was floating quietly in the water.

The two young female apprentices might not have noticed.

But when Xia An saw it for the first time, his eyes lit up slightly, "Compared with yesterday, this 'Colorful Hairtail Fish' is in better condition."

Yesterday he received this golden ingredient for foster care, and the living organism itself looked very listless and listless.

But now.

The body is stretched and more comfortable.

There is no need to worry that it might suddenly die or turn over at any time.

Among these, [Soothing Touch] undoubtedly played an effective role.

Seeing Xia An reaching his hands into the box of living ingredients, petting them like a cat or a dog, Alice and Erina were shocked, "Master, are you doing something evil?"

"Fantasy species."

Xia An's lips curled up slightly, and he added in his mind.

His hands.

I'm just playing with some fantasy ingredients.

The more you masturbate, the more alive you become, and the stronger your life characteristics become.

"Sure enough, my gourmet cells are becoming more active."

After a moment, Xia An took back the energy of Qi that was floating in the body of the colorful hairtail and ended the [Soothing Touch] food skill.

"Is there an upper limit to the activity of this special food skill?"

"We can use this fish as an experimental subject and feed it with food skills every day, and continue to observe it."

Think about this.

Xia An asked his two apprentices: "Is there a fish tank or container at home that can be used to raise fantasy fish?"

"The bigger the better."

"Because, in a few days, ten more live 'Colorful Hairtail Fish' will be airlifted in from North America."

He was obviously going to stay in Japan, in Totsuki, for ten days or half a month, and would not return to China until the autumn trials were over.

"I'll arrange it." Erina took out her cell phone and called the housekeeper before Alice could.

While waiting, Xia An checked the panel.

……

[The chef panel has switched to private chef mode. ]

[Goal ① has been triggered: At the Nakiri family dinner, cook an ancient dish with food meaning (any)]

[Completing the goal will earn you a lot of recipe proficiency experience, and a small amount of completion/reproducibility experience for the corresponding recipe. ]

[Goal ② has been triggered: At the Nakiri family dinner, use the ancient dishes of Shiyi to compete with the answer dishes of two "Golden Generation" graduates, and win with unanimous praise from the guests.]

[Complete the goal to get the recipe - "Steam Pot Fish" (Kyo Nina). ]

……

Xia An: ? ?

The second goal is Jing Nina's recipe.

Instead of directly taking advantage of the two Totsuki Legend graduates.

Xia An is full of regrets.

But then I thought about it.

Damn it.

The "answer" recipe of Dojima Gin and Saiba Shiroichiro is not suitable for him. If it is replaced by someone else, it will no longer be the "answer".

This is not the case with Kyonina’s Steam Pot Fish recipe.

Because this recipe is built around the colorful hairtail.

She is almost perfecting or has already perfected the use of this golden ingredient, the colorful hairtail.

In this way, Xia An can get extremely valuable experience in using ingredients from Jing Nina's "Steam Pot Fish" recipe.

……

It's getting later.

The setting sun shines on Totsuki Academy.

Pole Star Dormitory, lobby.

Isshiki Hui shouted from the stairs: "Everyone hurry up, we have to go there early."

After a while, the members of the Pole Star Dormitory came downstairs one after another.

The female students are Megumi Tadokoro, Ryoko Sakaki, and Yuuki Yoshino.

The boys are all Hui.

There are also Soma Yukihira, Zenji Marui, and Shun Ibusaki. Of course, don't forget the muscular brothers Daigo Aoki and Shoji Sato, who don't have a high sense of presence.

"Hey, Mrs. Wenxu, are you going too?"

Everyone saw the dormitory manager Wenxu coming out with a smile.

"What are you talking about? Since Boss Xia has invited all of us from Pole Star Lodge to attend the dinner, how could I miss this rare opportunity?" Dai Mido Fumio said with a smile, "I also really want to try those ancient dishes with stories behind them!"

Get in the business car arranged by the Nakiri family.

Isshiki Hui looked out the car window. The sky was gradually getting darker and the old European-style dormitory building was moving away.

His eyes flickered, and the excitement in them became more obvious.

The ancient dishes that I have been longing for.

He can eat as much as he wants at the banquet tonight!

Think of this.

Isshiki Hui chuckled twice, opened his phone, and clicked on the chat group of "The Ten Outstanding People's Evaluation Organization".

……

[Isshiki Hui (seat 7): Thank you for having the honor of attending the dinner at the Nakiri family's house tonight and eating the ancient dishes from the legend. ] [Kuga Teruki (seat 8): Are you a dog? ? ]

[Kobayashi Ryodan (second seat): Can you contact the Nakiri family residence and include me as well? ]

[Jizhiguo Ningning (sixth seat): @Isise Hui, great, I got the ticket to attend the dinner without making any noise, and now I remember to show off in the group. ]

[Si Yingshi (first seat): @Isiro Hui, how can I participate? I also want to seize this opportunity. ]

[Akane Kubo Momo (1th seat): I want to grasp the +. ]

[Eizun Ezuya (9th seat): After all, it's rare for that famous chef to visit Totsuki. If possible, I'm willing to pay a high price to buy a ticket.]

When Yi Se Hui saw the top ten people in the group, everyone @ him and asked him to tell them how to qualify for the banquet, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

[Isshiki Hui (seventh seat): Ahem... I'm sorry I can't help you with the qualifications for the banquet, and I don't have any channels. In fact, we at Polar Star Dormitory are only eligible to attend the banquet at the Nakiri residence after being specially invited by Boss Xia.]

[Isshiki Hui (Seventh Seat): @Nakiri Erina, Miss Erina, please come out and help clarify. 】

[Erina Nakiri (10th seat): The entire Polar Star Dormitory was indeed invited by my master to attend the dinner.]

[Kobayashi Ryodan (Second seat): Miss Erina, how can I contact your master? ]

……

soon.

Everyone from Polaris Dormitory arrived at the Nakiri family estate in the back mountain area of ​​the academy.

As soon as they got off the bus and arrived at the front lobby, the friends discovered that many well-known professors from the school were also there.

For example, Professor Takao Miyazato and Professor Roland Chapelle.

Several Totsuki board members were also present.

There is Hisahiro Keiura, the director of the Food Wars Administration.

As for the graduates, there are Dojima Gin and Saiba Joichiro who have to prepare the dishes.

There are many familiar faces.

Mizuhara Fuyumi, Inui Hinatako, Donato Gotoda...these are all graduates of the same generation as Shinomiya Kojiro.

Taki Kadozaki, Enka Kikuchi and others are graduates from the last two or three years.

"All the great professors are here."

Tadokoro Kei whispered, her heart trembling.

Yoshino Yuuki, the straightforward girl, even spoke cautiously: "Hey, there are so many graduates. This is the first time I see so many famous graduates gathered together."

what.

Inui Hinatako discovered this group of students. She was a gentle-looking female graduate who was known as the "Empress of the Mist" when she was a student.

In fact, he has a rather childish personality.

After graduation, he opened a Japanese restaurant called 'Kiriya' in Tokyo.

"Oh, did you get invited too?"

Inui Hinatako came up and touched Tanomo Kei's head.

Hinata Inui had already been very optimistic about this simple and innocent girl during her "residential training".

"Boss Xia personally invited us!"

Soma Yukihira said casually.

Suddenly, he spoke in a voice that was filled with pride, attracting the surprised gazes of the guests around him.

"Boss Xia personally invited me?"

The two female graduates, Kadozaki Taki and Kikuchi Enka, followed Hinatako Inui.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

"Boss Xia is actually paying attention to Totsuki students? And he seems to be very optimistic about you..."

Kadozaki Taki looked at everyone in Polaris Dormitory with his chin resting on his hand and a serious face.

She has a tomboyish dressing style and a bad-looking face.

Another female graduate, Enka Kikuchi, looks a bit naive, with big eyes, long hair and a slightly weak temperament. Her big breasts are often used by Kadozaki Taki to mock her as the "big-breasted monster."

"Could it be that... Boss Xia wants to take in another disciple? And choose from among you?"

Kikuchi Enka obviously knew that Erina and Alice, the two eldest daughters of the Nakiri family, had already become Xia An's disciples.

This said.

Everyone in Polar Star Dormitory changed color collectively.

Damn it?

No way?
There are some small surprises, including Soma Yukihira.

The dormitory leader Yi Sehui smacked his lips and thought that this was indeed a possibility. Otherwise, how could he explain that Boss Xia was surprisingly kind to their Polar Star Dormitory group when they first met?

At this time!

Sisters Alice Nakiri and Erina Nakiri each pushed a small food cart and appeared in everyone's sight.

"flour."

"Snapper, flounder."

"Bamboo shoots, cabbage, fungus, vermicelli."

“And there’s a big piece of beef!”

The combination of ingredients on the two carts is a classic.

The guests only took one look at it, and the memory of the Juxialou Competition that had not yet been erased from their minds was immediately awakened.

As a result, the front yard of the manor became bustling.

"Mr. Xia An is going to make "Unifying the Seven Kingdoms Fried Noodles"?"

"That's great. Anyone who has watched the third episode will never forget this ancient dish."

Soma Yukihira was very excited and thrilled.

He quietly clenched his fists.

Glancing around at the emotions expressed by the guests in the lobby at this moment, whether they were great professors or well-known graduates, anticipation was written on their faces.

At this time, several bodyguards in black walked in through the front door of the house and placed a batch of fantasy food boxes on the other two kitchen counters according to the labels.

It's worth saying.

The layout and arrangement of this front yard are very interesting because of the dinner party.

Three uncovered open-air kitchens are scattered in the garden. At this time, the moon is high in the sky, and the courtyard lights fall on the deep flower beds and grass, which creates a unique style.

"I'm coming!"

When Xia An, Dojima Gin, and Saiba Joichiro appeared together, there was a burst of cheers in the lobby.

"Everyone, please be patient. I will do my best to serve you a feast of ancient dishes." Xia An paused and looked at the guests with a smile.

Especially when looking at a group of students in Polaris Dormitory, Xia An's gaze paused for two or three seconds before moving away.

People like Tanomo Megumi, Yukihira Soma, etc., who were noticed by him, felt that they were being valued once again and were secretly delighted.

"You two, shall we do this separately or together?"

Xia An asked Dojima Gin and Saiba Joichiro what they meant.

"You first."

“We want to watch, be the audience, and savor the cooking process of these ancient dishes.”

Xia An had no objection and walked to his open-air kitchen.

Sisters Alice and Erina were already doing odd jobs helping in the kitchen, such as washing vegetables or killing fish.

Xia An directly took out the [Broken Army Knife] and activated the Swift Cutting Technique, cutting the fish and beef into pieces, then chopped them up and pounded them repeatedly to form a rotten meat paste.

These processes are quite ordinary.

However, from the perspective of Totsuki's guests.

It was the first time for them to witness this ancient skill [Seven Star Breaking Army Swift Cutting Technique] in reality and at such a close distance.

fast!
Besides being fast...it’s still fast!

Is this the speed a human can swing?

"With the efficiency of mincing meat, why would we need a food processor or a meat grinder?"

The guests were silent.

"and many more."

Dojima Gin suddenly called Xia An, "Can I have a piece of meat to look at?"

He pointed at the minced fish and beef on the kitchen chopping board.

Seeing Xia An glance over and nodded.

Dojima Gin stepped forward and, without hesitation, picked up a small piece of minced meat with a clean spoon. Then he pinched out a little bit with his fingers and rubbed it back and forth on his fingertips to feel it.

"It's so delicate." Dojima Gin exclaimed, "It's hard to imagine that this is minced meat forged by a kitchen blade."

This spoon was passed down from then on.

Professor Totsuki, the graduates, and even the academy commander-in-chief, Senzaemon Nakiri, all picked up a little bit of the meat between their fingers and carefully felt the delicate and smooth texture of the minced meat under the fast cutting technique.

“No wonder the beef noodles on the show are so cascading without any roughness or graininess!”

"It's fine, but the efficiency is outrageous... It's truly an ancient skill!"
