The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 172 Ideas, Planning (4K)

Hearing this, Silverback continued to nod vigorously, looking frightened.

It was just a coward to the leader of the giant crocodiles, Kaila.

But I am afraid of the unknown monsters that may appear at night.

"It seems that this island is much more mysterious than I thought!"

Xia An sat on Silverback's shoulders away from the swamp, looking back at the forest and the outline of the island as the sky gradually darkened. Compared with when he just came through, his mood was full of intense curiosity.

Return to the habitat of the Tara Vajra tribe.

The silverback cried and several female kongs with their babies surrounded it, jumping and dancing.

The other male kings flattered and dragged the fruits and dried meat stored in the tree hole. Seeing this scene, Xia An's mouth twitched slightly. What a strict hierarchy and what a decadent and corrupt life the king had.

Xia An returned to the beach and did not plan to set up a simple camp because there was no need. With just a thought, he opened the [Gate of the World] and returned to Blue Star.

Higashino Tsuyoshi's mansion.

I opened my eyes and the dimly lit bedroom space came into view.

A ray of morning light shone through the gap in the curtains onto the wooden floor.

"It just got dark over there, but it's already light here." Xia An turned on his cell phone and checked the time shown on the clock in the room.

Six o'clock in the morning.

But Xia An had no desire to sleep at all. Even if he had felt sleepy before, after traveling back and forth for a while, he was now as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

After the signal was reconnected, the room WIFI was also connected.

The private chat messages on the igo app kept vibrating with the beeping sound.

Xia An ignored these private chats. There were too many of them and he couldn't read them all, so he simply ignored them.

Open his post where he sells ingredients.

Oops.

He raised an eyebrow.

The bidding price was unexpectedly raised all the way to 1000 igo points.

These 10 points can be used to purchase common gold ingredients.

Judging from the enthusiastic comments under the post, this bidding price is obviously only temporary. After the chefs in the Eastern time zone wake up during the day, the price will continue to rise strongly!
Xia An turned off the screen of his mobile phone and shifted his mind back to the [Gate of the World].

"Since the kitchenware box and the metal box containing the fake Tanlang pot can be brought over..."

"Does that mean I can bring other things?"

His eyes moved around the house.

Then, it fell on the largest bed.

He wanted to test the limits of what he could carry, both in terms of volume and weight.

then.

Xia An stepped forward and grabbed the edge of the bed.

Communicate your mind with the Kitchen God panel to open the door to the world.

Swish!
On the darkened beach of an isolated island, a person and a bed appeared out of nowhere.

"Damn, it's actually possible?"

Xia An traveled back to Blue Star, looking at the bed in the room that seemed to have never been moved, and murmured: "This carrying function is very good and convenient. After I explore the island and find a safe zone, can't I just be a porter and use the materials and equipment here to build a base on the island? Including a professional kitchen..."

Thinking of this, Xia An's heart was pounding.

The island is good.

Isolated from the outside world.

Not afraid of invasion and peeping by unidentified indigenous people.

After all, he still knew too little about the food world.

and.

That isolated island is not a barren place.

Whether it is the extremely intelligent silverback and its group of Doraemon, or the giant Kaira crocodile that appeared in the swamp, they all show that there is an "ecosphere" on the island, and the fantasy life living in this "ecosphere" is very rare and has high edible value.

"It's decided... the great enclosure movement has begun, I want to occupy the land and be the king!"

However, there must be some kind of extraordinary life at the top of the food chain on the island, possibly even above the extraordinary level, otherwise the silverback would not be so frightened.

Xia An felt it was difficult: "To put it simply, my current combat power is that of a silverback. If I were to fight a battle with an extraordinary fantasy life form above the gold level, I would probably have a hard time escaping!"

There is no way to increase combat power rapidly in the short term.

It takes money to practice special skills and strengthen the energy in your body.

Gourmet cells are not something that can be achieved overnight, and Xia An has not yet found a cell sequence that suits him.

and so…

Or do we have to rely on technology or equipment to greatly improve our ability to survive and stay alive?
correct!

Xia An's eyes lit up.

“You can fly a drone…”

“I can see the whole island from the beach without having to venture out and explore!”

Buy whatever you think of.

If you want to talk about which drone manufacturer is the best, just look for Shenzhou Dajiang.

Xia An opened Rakuten and browsed the Dajiang brand drones.

After looking around.

Xia An made clear his needs.

First of all, the flight time, that is, the battery life, must be strong.

Next is the flight distance.

The island was obviously much larger than Xia An had imagined. This could be seen from the giant species such as the silverback and the Kaila crocodile. The narrow area of ​​the ecosystem meant that the food was scarce and could not support these giant beasts.

The second is obstacle avoidance performance.

Taking into account the complex geographical environment and possible intrusion of abnormal life.

Strong obstacle avoidance capabilities are a must.

Similarly, wind resistance, pixels, image quality, sensors, etc. also need to be considered.

finally.

Xia An decided on the air-3S model: "This model is very good at taking night photos, and it can actively avoid obstacles in all directions when flying at night, making it easier to explore the island at night!"

The air-3s with screen remote control is priced at 20.9 yen. Calculated at an exchange rate of 4.7, the price is not much different from that of Taobao and JD.com in China.

Xia An ordered 10 units at once, intending to use them as battlefield supplies.

In order to ensure that it can be delivered on time tomorrow, he also paid for expedited delivery service.

As for the issue of so many drones attracting attention after being delivered, Xia An believed that the attention of the famous chefs in the mansion would definitely be attracted by tomorrow's finals day, so he didn't need to worry about the consequences.

"Just wait until we get the drone and then conduct a comprehensive exploration!"

……

The area where the Totsuki group stayed.

bang bang.

The sound of Dojima Gin knocking on the door echoed in the corridor.

"Gin, why are you knocking on the door so early?" Saiba Chengichiro yawned and rubbed his eyes, exuding a resentful aura of having his beautiful dream interrupted.

Without further ado, Dojima Gin handed over his phone with the igo app interface open:
"look!"

"An anonymous person is publicly auctioning a perfect golden ingredient!"

Saiba Joichiro's face was shocked, and the laziness and sleepiness on his face disappeared completely.

Perfect golden ingredients.

There are not many things to see at igo market throughout the year.

Every time it appears, it is fought over by the world's top players.

Why?

There is so much information contained in a perfect ingredient.

Just talking about technology, since the maker and seller can produce such a perfect product, then after purchasing it, it is equivalent to obtaining a perfect shortcut for reference.

As for the various pseudo-food skills that may exist in "technical ability", they are simply unable to stop the top chefs with burning desires.

The special grade is always on the road of collecting perfect answers.

There was no way this group of people would stop before pushing open Zhenlin’s door.

The same goes for Gin Dojima and Ichiro Saiba. "Hey, chicken with potatoes, carrots, onions?"

After carefully browsing the sales information, Caihajiro Ichiro was stunned.

Only then did he understand why his best friend had a strange look in his eyes every time he knocked on the door.

Coincidentally.

[Chicken with potatoes, carrots, onions] happens to be the main ingredient in one of the three "Answer" recipes he has mastered.

In other words, Saiba Shiroichiro has mastered the method of processing and cooking [Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots and Onions] in a stable and perfect manner.

"Yin, don't look at me like that. I didn't post these ingredients anonymously."

He said speechlessly.

Dojima Gin nodded: "I know, that's why I'm even more curious."

Pointing at the skyrocketing auction price on the screen of his phone, he exclaimed: "It costs two thousand IGO points, but the upward momentum doesn't seem to be slowing down."

Saibashiro Ichiro has already cooked it perfectly and knows the difficulty and technical requirements: "I think this time's 'Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots and Onions' may be auctioned for a high price of 4,000 to 5,000 points."

"After all, this is the 18th capture level, almost the top-level gold-level fantasy food."

Top gold grade, perfect quality.

All these conditions add up to the fact that it is rare to see a chef publicly selling his property in a year.

“Who is this anonymous seller?”

"Why would you sell a top-notch gold-grade, perfect item?"

"Could it be that... he no longer needs to accumulate answer recipes, and his life menu is filled with answers, and he is on the path of Zhenlin?"

The good friends chatted with each other, while holding their phones and keeping a close eye on the rising auction price.

half an hour.

Dojima Gin spoke with difficulty:

"Joichiro, how about we pool our money and take this photo?"

Saiba Shiroichiro was very interested: "Then let's study together the techniques and ideas behind perfect ingredients? That perfect path?"

Dojima Gin nodded, with a hint of desire and unwillingness in his eyes: "Even this guy Dong Ye Gang is already a fake unicorn. If he can use this event to find a way to solve the problem of the demon biting his body once and for all, he may even be a quasi-real unicorn!"

Caiba Chengyilang, who had never been admired by many people for his cooking skills, agreed after hearing this:

"Well... 'Potato, Carrot, Onion and Chicken' is not on your 'Life Menu', but you have already perfectly cooked 'Golden Shark', 'Tuna Pig', and the 'Golden Cow' which is nearly halfway through its research."

"Don't you think there are too many recipes for the answer? Can't fit into the "menu of life"?"

Understand the teasing in gay language.

Dojima Gin said unhappily, "Haha, you're pretending to be me, right? Who said there can only be one set of "life menus"? "

"Besides, you know the planning of my first set of "life menu"."

"The answer to 'soup' is shark stew, the answer to 'meat' is tuna pork chop, and the answer to 'main course' is 'golden wheat' vegetarian udon noodles."

"If possible, I would even like to pursue a compound answer, that is, answer + answer!"

"100% perfectly processed 'Potatoes, Carrots, Onions and Chicken', blended into soups, meats or main dishes, the answer!"

cough cough...

Saiba Chengyilang coughed violently, his face flushed a little:

"Yin, you have such a big appetite."

"We just talked about pseudo-unicorns and quasi-unicorns. Are you greedily trying to get involved in the realm of real unicorns? The compound of answer + answer is the method used by real unicorns, not yours..."

Dojima Gin's handsome face darkened slightly:
"Then tell me, do you want to form a joint venture? We buy the perfect ingredients and work together to find the perfect path. It's always good to have one more answer on the 'menu of life' for you or me!"

Only then did Ichiro regain his serious expression:
“Buy! Buy, buy, buy!”

He really wanted to know what kind of perfect path was contained in the [Potatoes, Carrots, Onions and Chicken] listed in the anonymous sale post.

……

in the afternoon.

The second battle of the 5 to 3 team competition in the luxury mansion is about to begin.

The small venue was gradually filled with famous chefs.

Xia An and the Shenzhou team arrived.

what.

He cast a glance at the Neon Totsuki representative seat and saw the two team leaders, Gin Dojima and Shiroichiro Saiba, staring at their phones with their heads down, as if they were in a world of their own and the hustle and bustle outside had nothing to do with them.

"These two people..."

At this time, Xiaolin Longdan quietly moved to the Shenzhou team seat:

"Master Xia An, is the imitation you brought back last night useful? Have you tested it?"

Xia An was helpless: "In a word, only the rich can afford it."

"what?"

Following behind Kobayashi Ryodan, Akane Kubo Momo, Inui Hinatako, Mizuhara Fuyumi, Kikuchi Enka and others who also quietly moved over were shocked when they heard this.

"The chance of processing failure is quite high. If you are unlucky, you may fail even if you put in 10 fantasy ingredients in a row."

All the Totsuki female chefs expressed their disgust.

"Ah, this instability won't help you at all in food battles or tournaments."

Qian Hinatako and the others immediately lost interest in the imitation Tanlang pot, and the light of interest in their eyes disappeared in an instant.

Farewell!

it's confirmed!
It is a luxury item that these Totsuki graduates who have not yet reached the special grade cannot afford!

On the stage, an elegant middle-aged butler appeared and announced the start of the first round of the cooking competition.

The American team VS the European team.

Both groups were very cautious. The famous chefs sent in the first match all looked very young. It was obvious that they were there to be pioneers and try their luck to gain experience. It didn't matter if they failed.

Jing Nina introduced:

"The famous chef here in America is called Hawk George, 28 years old. He is known as a potential rising star of this generation within the Democratic Food Association."

"She's from Europe. It's said that she's the president of the European International Gourmet Association. She was brought back from the 'gourmet world' to be trained as a female genius. She was born with gourmet genes..."

Upon hearing this, the Totsuki female chefs, who were all holding translators or using real-time translation apps on their phones to communicate without any barriers, exclaimed.

"Brought back from the food industry?"

"Born with gourmet cells?"

Xiaolin Longdan was stunned, his cat-like amber pupils trembled: "According to Neon's terms, isn't this the bloodline of the second-year protagonist?"

Jing Nina nodded: "Bloodline? This is another explanation. At least the parents who raised that female genius are definitely not ordinary people. The gourmet cell sequence in their body must be very powerful."

Xia An had not been very interested at first, but when he heard that this female genius had a special physique, he immediately watched the game attentively.

Less than two hours.

The first round of the contest is over.

A female genius named Erica won by a crushing victory.

"Eat."

Meng Yulu used a table knife to divide the delicate food on the plate into several pieces.

This is a steak.

As the hot mist dissipated, the rich aroma of wine passed like a hurricane.

Xia An and Jing Nina both took the fork, picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into their mouths.

Click!

It is fried very tender, juicy and bursts with one bite.

But what was flowing in the mouth did not seem to be beef juice, but some kind of mellow and high-quality wine!
The strong smell of alcohol rushed into my nose and filled my head the next moment.

Xia An was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the shock, instantly feeling slightly tipsy and drunk.

However, as soon as Xia An thought about it, the air in his body flowed through his body and his mind immediately became clear.

But Jing Nina, whose internal energy skills were far inferior to his, could not bear it.

His cheeks were flushed from drunkenness and he slumped down in his seat.

The female chefs of Totsuki, each of whom was given a small piece of steak, Kobayashi Ryodan, Akane Kubo Momo, Inui Hinatako...

While chewing, their almond-shaped eyes were filled with misty watery colors, and they fell limply to the ground.

???

Xia An: "Is this meat decent?"
