The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 161 Killing the Formula and the Race (4K)

It took the guests half an hour to recover from the historical time-travel story brought about by the fried noodles.

"It's my turn."

Saiba Joichiro smiled, opened the box, and revealed the ingredients needed for his three dishes.

"Wine Shell."

"Volt Tiger Pufferfish."

“Chicken with potatoes, carrots and onions.”

Wine shell.

Used to make thick soup.

This dish obviously corresponds to the soup column in the "Life Menu".

Voltaic pufferfish.

This corresponds to fish and fish dishes in the "Life Menu".

Finally, there’s the chicken with potatoes, carrots and onions.

It is obviously used to build the meat dishes in the "life menu".

Saiba Joichiro had already untied the bandage that was usually wrapped around his left hand and wrapped it around his forehead.

Xia An was not surprised at all to see the iconic move of the protagonist Soma Yukihira, the King of Medicine, appear on Medicine Dad. They are father and son, and they have the same routine. Who needs to say who learns from whom?

Three dishes, cooked simultaneously.

Xia An was watching carefully.

Kyonina lowered her voice and said, "These two Totsuki chefs are amazing!"

Xia An: "That's right, the legendary graduate, the leader and twin stars of the golden generation, it's not just boasting."

Kyonina's mixed-race, three-dimensional features and face clearly showed a solemn expression:

"Let's put it this way."

"This man named Shura, his accumulation and background are no less than that of the buzz cut man just now."

The man with a crew cut is Gin Dojima.

Kyo Nina wasn't very familiar with the Totsuki gang, and she was just there for the fun, so she referred to Dojima Gin as the "shaved man."

Xia An couldn't help but nodded.

Just now, Kyonina had whispered to him the information about the three fantasy ingredients that were being cooked.

"Wine Shell, capture level 25, in the food illustrations of many food organizations and associations on Blue Star, it is classified as 'Extraordinary Level' above the gold level. If it is consumed stably and for a long time, it can develop 'Bronze Level Dionysus Food Cells'."

"Volt Tiger Pufferfish, Capture Level 22, is classified as 'Extraordinary' above the gold level in the food illustrations of many food organizations and associations on Blue Star. If you eat it stably and for a long time, you can develop 'Excited Gourmet Cells'."

"Potato, Carrot, Onion and Chicken, Capture Level 18... Develop 'Strong Leg Muscle Gourmet Cells'!"

The fantasy ingredients used in the recipes and dishes of Saiba Shiroichiro's answer are all above gold grade and contain special gourmet cell sequences.

Compare with Dojima Silver.

Let’s not talk about the outrageous 99-level hunting level “Golden Bull”.

Money shark, tuna pig, golden wheat.

Just looking at these three items, the core ingredients of Caiba Chengyilang are obviously suppressed in specifications.

And among them.

Bronze-level Dionysus Gourmet Cells that can be developed from "Wine Shells".

Xia An specifically asked Jing Nina and gained new knowledge.

Blue Star organizations and associations have established an effective evaluation system for gourmet cells.

Dionysian cells.

There are actually quite a few fantasy ingredients that can be developed!
Jing Nina used the example of fantasy ingredients containing the word "wine", such as "Wine and Chaos Beef". If one can successfully cook this ingredient 100% perfectly, one can develop a silver-level Dionysus cell.

There is also the "Dionysus Dragon", a dragon beast among fantasy ingredients. If you perfectly cook its dragon meat, you will have a chance to develop top-level gold-level Dionysus cells.

"These ingredients all contain extraordinary alcohol content in their meat."

"If you consume them for a long time, your body will inevitably be contaminated with these extraordinary alcohols."

"And then... your combat power is greatly improved? Between being half drunk and half awake, you enter a state called 'drunken frenzy'?"

Xia An sorted out the information he learned from Jing Nina in his mind.

Very interested in "Dionysus Gourmet Cells".

From silver level to gold level, there are even super-powerful Dionysus fantasy species above gold level.

Doesn't this explain it.

This cell sequence from weak to strong has a very stable and reliable pyramid system with a very high ceiling.

He has a bold idea.

The Dionysian gourmet cells on the food world side + the martial arts skills on the Chef Donnie side = ?

The drunkard? The drunken swordsman?
Others can't do it.

But he has a panel.

To have cheats is to dare to die.

"I'll ask Yao Di where he got this 'wine shell' from later." Xia An was concerned.

After a while.

The guests swarmed in again, enjoying the three dishes prepared by "Shura".

The thick soup, made with only one "wine shell", had a strong smell of alcohol. Fortunately, Saiba Shiroichiro strictly controlled the amount of ingredients, so the guests all drank the soup and their faces became red, but they did not get drunk.

The "Volta Tiger Pufferfish" is a complete and huge one. The processing method is no different from that of the Blue Star Pufferfish, but the internal organs and glands of the Volta Tiger Pufferfish do not contain neurotoxins.

Instead, it is a surge of electric current, and you must wear insulating gloves and use special knives to handle it cleanly.

Then, the fantasy pufferfish was dismembered and cut into thin and delicate slices of pufferfish sashimi.

“Such a thin piece of sashimi is surprisingly chewy.”

Xia An felt a crackling sound between his lips and teeth, as if he was biting on bone.

The delicious taste of the fish slowly spreads in your mouth, making you unable to stop.

At last.

It's "Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots and Onions".

After eating the chicken, Xia An couldn't help but complain that the name was really rude. It turned out that the flavor of chicken combined with the deliciousness of potatoes, carrots and onions.

Caiba Chengyilang made curry chicken. After eating a bowl, Xia An "inner-viewed" his body and found a faint fluorescent light gathering between his thighs:

“No wonder long-term consumption develops gourmet cells called ‘strong foot muscles’.”

Don’t be fooled by its ordinary name. Since the various gourmet organizations on Blue Star have classified this gourmet cell as a special sequence, it means that its strengths must be stronger than those of the “universal cell”.

……

The banquet ended around ten o'clock in the evening.

The friends from Polaris Dormitory got into the business car arranged by the Nakiri family.

On the way, the friends chattered about the dishes they were lucky enough to eat tonight.

"Saiha-senpai's three dishes are also amazing."

"In terms of the deliciousness of the ingredients, Mr. Dojima's three dishes are not as good as Saiba-senpai!"

"Isn't that nonsense? But it's a pity that I didn't get to eat the trump card of General Dojima... the meat of the "Golden Beef"! "

Soma Yukihira smacked his lips. If he had to say regrets, he did have some.

That is, Dojima Gin only supplies a box of 100 grams of golden beef meat to Boss Xia.

Others can only drool and wonder how delicious the meat of the golden cattle is.

Isshiki Hui smiled and lowered his head to the group chat of the "Top Ten Evaluation Organization" on his mobile phone interface, showing off to the other top ten except Erina Nakiri what dishes he had eaten tonight.

Hearing the discussion, Isshiki Hui looked up with a smile:
"But let me tell you."

"The luckiest thing, the thing I should be most grateful for... is eating Boss Xia's 'Seven Kingdoms Unified Fried Noodles'!"

These words immediately drew nods of agreement from everyone in Polaris Dormitory.

"Yeah."

"I'm so lucky. It turns out this ancient dish with a story behind it tastes like this."

"Anyway, my dream has come true!"

Some of these first-year students were unable to realize what a wonderful culinary competition Boss Xia, Chief Dojima and Senior Saiba had unknowingly participated in tonight.

But as one of the top ten students of this year, Isshiki Hui's experience and vision are certainly not comparable to those of a first-year student.

He was watching, silently eating melons, his heart filled with shock.

Senior and top-notch veterans are proud of their answer recipes/answer dishes.

Faced with the food ethics that have already taken shape.

The army was completely defeated?

Chef's Heart + Answer-level perfect cuisine.

Can’t even challenge Shi Yi?
It seems that the only way to defeat Shiyi dishes is to use Shiyi dishes, or Shiyi + answer dishes.

So to speak. Relying solely on fantasy ingredients, embrace the food world's food crushing genre.

Is there always a certain upper limit?
Isshiki Hui summarizes what he saw and heard at tonight's banquet and his thoughts after watching it.

……

Nakiri family residence.

In the teahouse.

See the guests off.

Nakiri Senzaemon invited Xia An to come and sit in the teahouse.

There are no outsiders here, only the Nakiri family, Xia An, Dojima Gin and Saiba Joichiro.

Alice didn't hesitate to sit down next to Xia An, and with a smile, she poured tea for Xia An and offered him the cup eagerly, "Master, drink tea, thank you for your hard work."

Xia An found it funny. This young female disciple seemed to be evolving into a caring and sweet girl.

He glanced at Erina Nakiri who was sitting on the tatami on the other side.

Erina seemed to read his eye language of "you should learn from this" and couldn't help but curl her lips.

"The accumulation of your two experiences in the fantasy field makes me feel that I am a pure newcomer now." Xia An said to Dojima Gin and Saiba Shiroichiro.

Dojima Gin laughed strangely and said:
"Accumulation? Compared to you, a newly promoted special-level who has already mastered the meaning of food, how can Shiroichiro and I dare to brag about accumulation?"

Saiba Chengyilang's face twitched slightly:
"Those answers and dishes are accumulation, but they are weak accumulations that cannot help us become Chef Lin."

"Moreover, no matter how much we have accumulated in this area, it will not help us understand the meaning of food."

Xia An was speechless.

Mrs. Leonora smiled and said, "However, except for unreasonable monsters like Boss Xia, normal senior special-level people use the answer dishes/answer recipes to measure their cooking skills."

Xia An: "So, the more answer dishes/answer recipes there are and the higher the quality, the more invincible they will be in the special level?"

Mrs. Leonora said:
"Generally, senior special-level players use the formula of Chef's Heart + Answer Dish to deal with food battles."

“The heart of the chef can be a variable.”

"The fantasy ingredients in the answer dish are naturally variables. Often, the higher the hunting level of the ingredients, the more advantages you can have in the food battle."

Nakiri Souei, Alice's father, a serious-looking man wearing glasses, said:
"But Boss Xia, you killed this formula and killed the game."

"Food Justice... unbalances the formula!"

"When you participate in any special-level food battle, you don't have to spend a lot of time preparing fantasy ingredients for the 'answer dish'."

“You only need to play in an ordinary and common way, using the most everyday ingredients, to achieve victory.”

Xia An couldn't deny it, but in his heart...he almost burst into laughter.

He had known before that it was absolutely outrageous to have mastered the food meaning of Chef Lin's realm in advance.

But he couldn't assess how much combat power this newly promoted special grade person had.

And it was through this evening that he discovered that his own food ethics + ancient dishes, and Dojima Gin and Saiba Shiroichiro's signature dishes, could not be shaken in the slightest.

"Anyway, we are both convinced." Dojima Gin said with emotion.

"correct."

Xia An's heart moved, and he said: "Mr. Caibo, did you also hunt your "Wine Shell" from the food world?"

Hearing this, Saiba Chengyilang shook his head:
"Wine Shells are produced from the Dionysus Island of the food world. They are only available there."

"Special-level people like me have not yet developed their gourmet cells, and their combat power is not enough to cross the vast wilderness to reach the Dionysus Island."

"So I redeemed it through points at the IGO International Gourmet Association."

“Of course, there are some black markets where goods are bartered, but it is not recommended for chefs who have not developed their gourmet cells to access black market channels, because those black market strongholds are often deep in the gourmet world.”

It’s the IGO International Gourmet Association again.

Xia An thought secretly.

It seems that the IGO International Gourmet Association is like the United Nations organization in the food industry, with various countries joining as member states.

Obviously, Japan, which has only one senior dragon chef or pseudo-dragon chef, Nakiri Senzaemon, does not have a very high status in the IGO organization.

The United States is a country of immigrants. Although it does not have a long history or ancient heritage, it does not have a local food culture.

But outstanding immigrants from all over the world have filled the American culinary scene.

For example, Jing Nina, and the "Eight Phoenix Immortals" and the devil's force behind her.

It is these foreign forces that have taken root in North America and supported the American food industry.

Needless to say, Longguo and Shenzhou can occupy a dominant position in the IGO organization.

What about the wooly bear?

Well, perhaps the Russian gourmets, together with the gourmets in Europe, have formed the third dominant force in the European Union besides Dragon Country and the United States?
"Since you have mastered the meaning of food so early, you can try to develop and awaken your gourmet cells in advance."

Nakiri Senzaemon suddenly spoke, waking Xia An from his trance.

"Ah huh?"

The old man slowly poured tea and tasted it:

"Why do we need to develop and awaken the gourmet cells at the level of Chef Lin in order to isolate hidden dangers to the greatest extent?"

"The reason is food justice?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Yes, the cooking of food + perfect answer dishes can continuously and stably nourish the cells in the body without worrying about the cells gradually becoming too self-willed, difficult to tame, uncontrollable, and easily devouring the host."

"What if you forcibly awaken and cultivate gourmet cells at the special level without mastering the meaning of food?" Xia An asked with interest.

"Walking on a tightrope, if you're not careful, you can fall into the abyss at any time due to the wind and rain." The old man said calmly.

Saiba Chengyilang said: "Boss Xia, are you interested in the "wine shell"? Or are you interested in the "Dionysus Gourmet Cell Sequence" contained in the wine shell?"

"All."

"Then I suggest you redeem some "Wine Shells" through the IGO organization's channels and do your own research, but first you have to earn points."

"How to make money?"

"Sell gold-level or higher fantasy ingredients that you don't need or are not interested in to the IGO organization. Or, browse the IGO organization's mercenary section and accept and complete some tasks."

"The missions vary. There are explorations, hunting teams, and recruiting people for research..."

The tea party is over.

Xia An returned to his room and checked the panel.

……

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

[Completed goal ①: Cook an ancient dish with a sense of food at the Nakiri family dinner (any)]

[Gain a large amount of recipe proficiency experience, and the recipe reproduction/completion of "Unifying the Seven Kingdoms Fried Noodles" is increased to 90%]

[Goal ② Completed: At the Nakiri family dinner, use Shikiri's ancient dishes to compete with the answer dishes of two "Golden Generation" graduates, and win with unanimous praise from the guests]

[Get the recipe - "Steamed Fish" (Kyo Nina)]

……

"Steamer fish!"

The recipe information flowed through Xia An's mind, and he seemed to be back on the night of the third episode. He could pause and replay every frame and every second, and watched Jing Nina's cooking process carefully from a close distance.

"Anesthetic hand is the key technique and treatment?"

"But I have already spent money to upgrade my skills and now have a more advanced [Soothing Touch]."

If Kyonina was still around.

Xia An couldn't help but said to her:
Your recipes are great.

It's already mine.

"With this recipe as a reference, it is not difficult to cook "Colorful Hairtail Fish" 100% perfectly."

"So, now I have the answer recipe for the fish dishes section of the "Life Menu"? "

However, Xia An shook his head.

This kind of answer recipe is better not to have it!
"Appetizer, soup, fish, meat, main course, salad, dessert, drink."

“If I could, I would answer with all my fantasy Paleo recipes/dishes modified to perfection.”

A smile appeared on Xia An's lips.

Xia An came up with several ancient recipes that could well incorporate the "Colorful Hairtail" and that he had mastered and accomplished very well.

……

at the same time.

late at night.

The headquarters of the Neon Late Night Cooks Association is located in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

The young leader received information that the famous chef from Shenzhou was active at the dinner party at the Nakiri residence.

"The one who reproduces the luminous secret of the present world."

"A cooking immortal who uses and controls fire."

The young leader kept drumming his fingers on the table, his face solemn, "This famous chef is not easy to mess with... How about changing the target of the food battle?"
