The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 182 I can also make such dishes (6K)

It's not Xia An's recipe, so he won't steal it.

Forget about the classic ancient recipes of the past. There was no need to emphasize the source, and people knew who the creator was.

But "Crispy Ruby Crab Feet" is a recipe in the fantasy field after all, and it was created by a predecessor on an isolated island. It is estimated that it has not been circulated. Xia An himself may be the second person to learn it.

In this case, if we get benefits, we should remember the person who dug the well.

really.

His voice echoed throughout the treasure house.

The Nakiri family all looked extremely surprised.

What the hell? You mean the recipe used in the Villa final?

Uh uh? Is it just one of the "Ruby Crab Trio" series?

Mr. Senzaemon changed his gloomy look and said excitedly:
"So, Boss Xia, you got some advice from that genius? She didn't die... That's right, no wonder the Shenzhou Association strictly sealed the news. I'm afraid she was carrying out some important mission!"

No one knew that in the 1990s, when this "food devil" was still in his prime, he witnessed the shock of the comet-like rise of a genius.

At that time, Senzaemon was already in his forties and had a son and a daughter.

At that time, Senzaemon was already famous in the culinary circles of various countries and was a rising star known far and wide.

But it only took a few years.

Senzaemon watched as a little girl, about the same age as his children, quickly caught up with him and walked side by side with Chef Lin on his way.

Within two or three years, news came from Shenzhou that this little girl had participated in a "Lin Chef" event, and had made it to the top of the Forbidden City, becoming one of the five greatest chefs in the world of Blue Star Shenzhou, with her cooking skills almost unmatched in the Shenzhou gourmet world.

And then…

This girl went to the food industry, and within a year or two, there was terrible news: the expedition team was killed, and IGO was about to face a storm...

"That senior is probably alive and well."

Xia An nodded, looking puzzled:
"Speaking of that accident, Commander, I have a question."

"You said."

"Let's not talk about Chef Lin, just look at the five Chefs Long who led the team. Even President Igo has been dispatched. An ordinary aircraft crash won't cause them to be crushed to pieces, right?"

Although Xia An was asking a question, his words were full of certainty.

"I heard from Mr. Dongye that Chef Long is above Sequence 1, a rare and extraordinary existence that does not belong to ordinary Sequencers."

Senzaemon laughed heartily:

"It seems that Higashino Tsuyoshi really likes you and believes that you will rise at the speed of light, so he dares to reveal everything to you."

Pause.

His tone was inexplicably low and deep.

"The world of food is boundless. Currently, there are three known independent continental plates. IGO has temporarily numbered them as Continent 1, Continent 2, and Continent 3."

"The first continent we are developing is already extremely desolate, with no civilization left. Perhaps there is a king of the land sleeping in secret, but openly, what Igo fears the most and sets up a restricted area is nothing more than a group of level 1 [Jurassic Unicorn]."

Xia An pondered. From this perspective, the first coordinate point where his world gate was anchored was most likely near the first continent, rather than the isolated Endless Sea and Misty Sea.

Otherwise, the top existence on the volcanic island could not be only around level 60.

"So that expedition team went deep into some unknown area and angered some existence?" Xia An's eyebrows gradually frowned.

Nakiri Senzaemon nodded:

"Do you know what it takes to become a dragon chef in the modern gourmet world after the world gate was opened and the 'foodie' route was born?"

"Oh?" Xia An's face was immediately full of interest.

The family that was traveling with him was obviously hearing for the first time how seriously the old man spoke about Chef Long, and they all listened attentively.

"The first is the unity of food justice and food hegemony."

"The second is to cook 'divine ingredients'."

Xia An's face froze, and he said with difficulty:

"Divine ingredients?"

Nakiri Senzaemon did not hide the enthusiasm in his words:
"Yes, not all gourmet cells contain divinity. Not to mention demigods and pseudo-gods, even animals that contain a thin layer of divinity are extremely rare!"

"And these beasts are often above the 100th capture level! But among th level beasts, there may not be a single divine bloodline!"

Hey.

After he finished speaking, the treasure house echoed with the old man’s regretful and unwilling sigh.

Xia An glanced sideways with emotion.

original.

The realm above Sequence 1, that is, the King Chef Lin, is about to come into contact with divinity and ascend to a higher level.

And with the current prosperity of the Far Moon Kingdom, there is no way to find any clues about the divine ingredients? Think about it, after all, it is related to a newly promoted dragon chef. Even if there are relevant clues, all forces and organizations will cover them up. It concerns the future.

The old man's words dispelled the doubts that had been bothering Xia An for a long time.

That expedition team, which had the best combat power and even culinary skills on Blue Planet, did not encounter a plane crash at all.

As for the search for the [Chalk Bird] which is only level 60.

Is it worth sending out a talented team and making such a big bet?
There must be a hidden thread inside, whose value and weight may be much higher than the "divine ingredients" in Senzaemon's mouth.

It is no wonder that Senior Tang Meijun kept silent about it in her notes and completely covered it up. The "Cretaceous Bird" she recorded seemed more like something she deliberately threw out as a "bait bomb" for defense.

After all, Senior Tang Meijun does not have the ability to see the future, so she cannot see and know that nearly thirty years later, the subsequent landers on the island are descendants of the same Chinese nationality.

“Since there is divinity… then grandpa, are there really gods in the world of food?”

Alice's anxious voice sounded.

The old man leading the way in front paused and said calmly without turning his head:

"I do not know."

"The people of Blue Star still have too little exploration and understanding of the food world."

moment.

At the end of the [Relics of the Past] area.

Xia An, who had been casually opening his "data eye" to touch here and there, suddenly trembled when he stretched out his hand.

Xia An's pupils shrank as he stared at a box on the display shelf.

Just now, he really...just touched an old, leather-like scroll in the box.

who knows.

The chef panel reacted strongly.

……

[Wonderful Item: Contract Recipe]

【grade:??】

[It records the 'symbiotic contract' between the ancient regeneration master and the top-grade ingredients. It exists in the form of a recipe. It needs to be made into a dish and fed to the target to conclude the contract.]

【Analyzing recipe language information】

……

Damn it?

Xia An felt like he was having a heart attack, with a surprising feeling of love that made him fall in love at first sight and he couldn't live without her.

Seeing his barely concealed joy.

"Do you recognize the ancient words on this leather?" Senzaemon asked suspiciously.

Xia An shook his head blankly and subconsciously:
"Uh, some alien language?"

Senzaemon looked at him seriously for two or three seconds, then smiled:
"Since you like it so much, then let it be."

As he said that, he grabbed the box and put it into Xia An's arms.

Rumble.

The last intelligent gate of the treasure house slowly closed behind him.

Xia An looked up and suddenly felt that the dusk and sunset sky in front of him became much brighter and more brilliant.

We just talked about the Regeneration Master before.

He couldn't help but have the urge to get to know the group of regeneration masters.

Who knew that a rare item would be in my hands, as if I was still in a dream.

【Analyzing recipe language information】

The prompt on the interface did not show the time and progress, but Xia An could wait.

at the same time.

Without the treasure house's signal shielding.

A message from Tsuyoshi Higashino popped up on my phone:
【（Picture）The goods have been received and weighed as shown in the picture. They can be distributed within a week. 】

……

A week passed quickly and Xia An had no time to rest. After delivering 1 kilogram of crab meat to the Nakiri family, he was busy dealing with the remaining ingredients.

Especially crab shells, when ground into dust, they become a new mineral spice [ruby salt]. However, Xia An found that ordinary tools could not crush crab shells, let alone grind them into fine dust.

Later, he controlled the drone and the robot dog again and went to the foundry on the isolated island. Only then did he solve the grinding problem after finding a "file" tool left by senior Tang Meijun.

Crab meat and crab roe.

Xia An was reluctant to use it as a consumable, so he used it to practice the other two answer recipes.

Now he is unable to capture level 46 ingredients, so the strategic-level resources will be less and less if used. It is too luxurious to use them for practice. It is better to take them out and use them in competitive occasions to control the outcome.

This Monday morning.

The second semi-final of the Totsuki Academy Autumn Trials begins.

As soon as Xia An arrived at the backstage guest room, a message from Tsuyoshi Higashino popped up on his phone.

【The goods have been sold out. 】

At the same time, the igo app had a points deposit notification, and there were almost 6 points.

Get rich!
The price of every 100 grams of golden wheat is 500 points. So, these 6 points are equivalent to 12000 grams, which is 24 kilograms!
"Oh, Master, you seem to be in a good mood!"

As soon as I heard the naughty voice, I knew it was Alice.

Afterwards, Alice and Kobayashi Ryodan, who was standing next to Xia An, made eye contact, with a hint of provocation in their eyes.

Kobayashi Ryodan's mouth corners were slightly raised, and he did not avoid at all.

"Miyoko-chan, you're here too."

Xia An looked at the tall girl who came in from the door and said with a smile: "Well, let me announce something. In order to make the atmosphere of competition and progress stronger within the sect, I will add a prize to your competition."

"Luck?"

"Well... let me give you a fantasy ingredient list, including level 1 bronze ingredients and level 2 to 5 sub-silver ingredients. You can choose any one from the list. You can take 1 kilogram of bronze ingredients and 500 grams of sub-silver ingredients."

Upon hearing this, Alice and Midori's eyes sparkled.

Most of Totsuki's students come from prominent families, so expensive fantasy ingredients are nothing to them.

But this is a reward from the Master, so the meaning is different.

Who knows, the master might even guide them to control and cook fantasy ingredients.

This will open up a whole new field and experience.

Must win!
boom…

Their eyes met again.

Alice and Midori could both see the fighting spirit almost burning in each other's eyes.

"Master, I will go and prepare."

"I'm going too."

The white-haired female disciple and the tall female disciple walked away quickly.

"Tsk tsk, I want to participate!" Xiaolin Longdan said with envy.

Xia An looked at her and said thoughtfully:

"After the autumn trials, it was called 'Red Leaf Hunting', right?"

"Yes, it is the Red Leaf Hunting Conference."

Xiaolin Longdan was very smart, and seemed to have vaguely guessed what Xia An meant, and his face was full of excitement:

"Master, if you need me, please give me your orders!"

The female chef, who was about to graduate from high school, patted her chest, the rise and fall of which were obvious. It turned out that her uniform and coat concealed a considerable size.

Xia Anle said: "When the time comes, you help me organize this group of freshmen, and I will teach you a fantasy recipe of high standard."

Xiaolin Longdan patted his chest even harder:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!!"

After a while, it was time to go on stage.

Between the moon and the sky. When the host called out Xia An's name and his brief introduction.

Deafening cheers rang out across the centennial venue.

Xia An sat next to old man Senzaemon, and further away were Dojima Gin, Saiba Joichiro, and a high-ranking Totsuki director.

Originally, married woman Leonora would have been the fifth judge, but the couple got the crab meat from Xia An and took a flight overnight to return to Europa's headquarters in Denmark, where the Nakiri International Research Institute was located.

Soon, the quarter-finals and semi-finals battles with the theme of "Main Course" began.

The topic is open-ended and almost unlimited.

In the previous match, Ryo Hayama vs. Soma Yukihira, the question was the same.

VIP viewing area.

At this time, all ten heroes are present.

"Master..." Kobayashi Rindan leaned against the railing and waved and called out from afar to the high-ranking examiner's seat.

Xia An glanced at him and nodded with a smile, and Xiaolin Longdan was so happy that he jumped up and down.

Beside them, the Ten Elites were speechless.

Akane Kubo Momo held her forehead and said, "Rentian-chan, it's hopeless."

Si Yingshi, who was in the first seat, said with longing:
"I wish I could learn from Chef Xia An. His fame has suddenly spread internationally this week."

The sixth seat, Ji Zhiguo Ningning, said:

"My family has been talking about Chef Xia An recently. It seems that he won the championship of an international exchange meeting."

Kuaga Teruki from the eighth seat said:
"Anyway, I've made up my mind. I'm going to apply for an internship right away and go to Shenzhou to learn from Boss Xia for a few years before considering opening a Chinese restaurant!"

Xiaolin Longdan turned around and said with disdain:
"Sorry, my master doesn't accept poor students."

"Besides, you're only a sophomore, and you're already considering a junior year internship?"

The 'young yellow-haired' Kuga Teruki reacted strongly and said angrily: "I am destined to be one of the top ten graduates, and you are the poor student!"

Kobayashi Ryodan smiled and pointed at the two girls fighting on the field:

"Just watch it."

"Don't let the first-year juniors take your place in the top ten this semester."

……

While the semi-finals between Yue Tian were going on fiercely.

Tokyo.

A small Chinese supermarket in a certain shopping street.

"Granny Sun, are you out of rice?" An old customer, an auntie who spoke Chinese, called out to an old white-haired woman who was walking out slowly from the inner room with her hands behind her back.

This old woman is very tall and has a head full of silver hair, but her face has no wrinkles and her skin looks healthy and fair with a rosy glow.

"There's a rice shortage in Tokyo lately. I've asked for a restock, but it won't be delivered until tomorrow," the old woman said with a smile.

"Hey, the price of vegetables has gone up a lot here. I can hardly afford to cook vegetables or eat."

The aunt bent over to pick vegetables and fruits from the box and chatted with the old woman about family matters.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a suit came over and politely said to the old woman, "Grandma Sun, I have something to discuss with you."

The old woman greeted the old customer. There were other young female part-time workers watching in the store, so she squinted her eyes and led the middle-aged man in the suit to the second floor of the supermarket.

On the second floor.

The man in a suit, who had a straight figure and seemed to have a very imposing and prestigious appearance, knelt very politely on a soft ball.

The old woman stopped smiling and looked very serious:

"Zheng, I told you again and again not to have any contact with him, didn't you hear me?"

The man in the suit said stubbornly:
"Granny Sun, I just want to make contact, but I haven't taken action yet!"

"You... your hope of solving the curse of the unpalatable seal rests on that 'Glowing Reappearer'. You finally waited for such a person. Are you really..."

The old woman shouted, "Shut up! Why did I adopt you and train you? If you could capture a divine ingredient for me from the world of food, I might have already broken free from my shackles!"

Hearing this, the man in the suit felt extremely guilty. He kept kowtowing and choked up:

"We brothers and sisters are really desperately looking for it!"

As he spoke, the man in the suit hesitated, then spoke slowly and painfully.

"Last month, Sixth Sister, she, she was in the Second Continent and took the risk of entering the 'King's Forbidden Zone'. Within three days, there was no news from her."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, her originally stern face turned a little gloomy, and she murmured:
"Slowly and steadily, slowly and steadily..."

A moment of silence.

The old woman glanced at a Yaksha mask placed on a wooden shelf on the red wooden altar in the living room on the second floor, and said hesitantly:
"Hitsuno Tsuyoshi, has he shared the 'coordinates' with that young man?"

The man in the suit heard that the old woman was about to give in, so he quickly said:

"Yes, it is the coordinate point No. 2 that we have observed and closely monitored before!"

Another moment passed.

The old woman surnamed Sun's slow and cautious voice was heard in the room:

"Well, let's meet such an outstanding young man."

"He will definitely join forces with Higashino Tsuyoshi and try to open that 'coordinate point' to gain the qualification to travel through time."

"And with Higashino Tsuyoshi being so open about it, and attracting so many eyes, the town's five-year autumn festival must be more lively than any other time."

……

Between the moon and the sky.

Post-match rest area.

Xia An sent a list of ingredients to Alice, who was holding her head high, using her mobile phone so that she could choose the reward for the winner.

Alice's mouth started watering when she saw so many fantasy ingredients on the form.

Some of the items above are in short supply in the inventory of both the Totsuki and Nakiri families. It is estimated that even if she acts like a spoiled brat, it would be difficult for her to get a batch from Senzaemon.

Hojo Midori seemed a little depressed and unwilling.

The high school girl on the basketball team, who has always been confident and has a strong aura, can hardly accept this defeat.

Xia An patted his head and said gently:

"Miyoko-chan, you've embarked on the path of a professional chef. You can't win all the time. There will always be times when you lose."

"In fact, your dishes are far better than when you first came to me. Think about it, isn't it? Your target, your enemy, your culinary coordinate point is always yourself."

“If every time you fail, you find that your dish is better than before, then you should be happy, encourage yourself, and tell yourself that you have done a great job.”

Hojo Miyoko was stunned, and her mind couldn't help but recall her culinary training journey from the summer vacation training to today's semi-finals.

Gradually, the tall girl's eyes began to glow with strength again.

"Yes, there is no doubt that the me now can beat ten of my former selves!!" She clenched her fists.

Xia An was not expressing his feelings falsely, but sincerely, he said:

"Remember what I said on the judging panel not long ago?"

Miyoko said subconsciously:

"Which sentence?"

"You can also make dishes like this..." Xia An smiled and repeated the emotion and context at that time.

Seeing the characters in the food wars world break through their own limits and reach top levels, Xia An felt that everything was possible and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

“Can I make dishes like this?”

Muttering to himself.

The last trace of discouragement on Midoriko's face disappeared, leaving only the vigor and sharpness of her age.

Yes.

I can also cook dishes that belong to geniuses!

The dishes I served in the semi-finals were almost at the top of the class among all the freshmen in Totsuki.

My place in the semi-finals is well deserved.

A little further away.

Watching the interaction between master and apprentice.

There was a hint of throbbing and complexity in Erina's eyes.

'Can I make a dish like this?' Erina whispered in her heart, "Not enough! My progress is not enough! It's far from the level that can surprise me and my master!"

……

evening.

Xia An, who was about to accept an invitation to dinner at the main house restaurant, received a call from Saiba Chengyilang:

"I have a son who wants to meet you."

A moment later, Xia An got into the special car arranged by the Nakiri family, and sat in the back seat with Saiba Joichiro.

"So, Lord Caibo, how many sons do you have?"

Xia An deliberately joked.

"Just two." Saibajo Ichiro surrendered directly, feeling helpless. "Don't think I'm such a spendthrift, raising illegitimate children everywhere."

Of course, Xia An knew about Saiba Shiroichiro's family situation. Yukihira Soma was his real son, and the other son was actually an adopted son named Saiba Chaoyang.

He is nicknamed "Yao Ge" by the silly netizens, and the plot of the sequel to Food Wars is basically about Yao Wang and Yao Ge, two brothers, who love and hate each other.

He was interested in Cai Bo Chaoyang, of course not because of the bloody family ethics drama, but because of Cai Bo Chaoyang's identity.

Saiba Chaoyang is the real son of the "ghost father" Nakiri Tsukushi, the Dragon King's son-in-law.

In this world line.

With her family broken up, Ashi Nakiri traveled to North America. How far have her cooking skills and power developed?

And just say Cai Bo Chao Yang.

According to the original.

His identity as the chief leader of Japan's late-night cooks is very interesting and shrouded in mystery.

The key is…

This group of late-night cooks led by Cai Bo Chaoyang, including himself, all possess so-called "superpowers".

However, Xia An was certain that these methods were definitely food skills and the corresponding kitchen utensils for performing these food skills.

That would be more interesting.

But don't forget.

On the eve of flying to Neon, Chi Xiaobai, in his capacity as the provincial director of Shenzhou Late Night Cuisine, asked him something.

[Are you interested in representing the Shenzhou Late Night Cooking Association and being invited to have a friendly exchange of culinary skills with the Japanese Late Night Cooking Association? ]

Xia An opened WeChat and found the chat record of Chi Xiaobai, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

[Lao Chi, on behalf of the Shenzhou Late-Night Cooking Association, I will beat up the Neon Late-Night Cooking Association. Is there a reward? ]

Doodle.

Reply very quickly.

[Chi Xiaobai: (picking his nose) If you were just a newly promoted special-level player, it would be difficult to sweep the team; but since you have cooked level 46 ingredients by yourself, it is not unreasonable to beat up the Neon Late Night Cooking Association, so you don’t get any reward.]

Xia An: ? ?

Forget it.

He just wanted to trigger a panel target, complete side quests, and get some rewards.

It would be best if you could get some food skills from this group of Japanese late-night cooks, led by Saiba Chaoyang.

"arrive."

Saiba Joichiro asked the driver to pull over to the side of the road.

Xia An and he get out of the car.

"?" Xia An looked up and saw a bustling and crowded shopping street in front of him. There was no luxury hotel and it didn't look like there was a headquarters of the late-night chefs.

"Hey, I'm hungry. Are you hungry?" Saiba Chengyilang touched his stomach. "Let me take you to dinner first. There's a very famous Chinese restaurant nearby. I know the owner there. He's an excellent cook."

"Besides, the Neon Late Night Cooking Association is really about 'late night and cooking'. By around 10pm, all the talented people will be there."

Now Xia An understood. The time was wrong. Should we order the food first?

Said, Saibajo Ichiro led the way.

what.

Enter the shopping street.

Xia An found that this place was simply a small Chinatown. Amid the hustle and bustle, the voices were filled with friendly Chinese.

"Young man, do you want to buy some food?"
