The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 219: Food Luck Talent (5K)

The request of Luo Wen and An Bo was very reasonable. Moreover, it was not free. The other party took the initiative to exchange the research data of divine ingredients. Xia An could not find a reason to refuse.

Even though his "data eye" can obtain some intelligence, he still needs to learn from further cooking experience and various road concepts, which can greatly reduce the research progress.

Xia An moved to uncover the soup pot: "There are still some dishes left in the pot. I was going to leave them for my disciples, but now I'll share them with you."

The soup can be ready in the pot, but the crab meat and eggs must be fried on the spot, otherwise the dish will lose its flavor as it gets cold.

shhhhh--

He used crab meat and egg whites from ten-yolk eggs to stir-fry a pot of white, delicate, moist and slightly shiny egg custard.

Xia An looked up and found that there were many people around the big stage with the lights off and near Kitchen No. 2 where he was.

Before we knew it, many people gathered here again.

The five judges who stepped down...

Dojima Gin and Saiba Joichiro are like the old hens leading the team, followed by a group of students from the "Polaris Dormitory"...

Everyone from the Sun clan;

And Jing Nina, followed by Wu Zhu and Xiang Shilin...

Nakiri Managi and Nakiri Erina, mother and daughter…

Nakiri Soe, Leonora, and Alice's family...

And, the top ten students of this year!

At a glance, there were at least dozens of people.

Xia An couldn't help but wonder, "Hey, why does my food war kitchen feel as lively as the food stalls at the school festival?"

Nakiri Senzaemon's serious face:
"The "Moon Sky Between" venue, a large stage where a pseudo-Lin food battle just ended, can become your campus festival food stall!"

The old man's own son, Nakiri Munee, said with a smile:
"That's right. This venue and this stage are just right for you, Boss Xia, to open a stall right here."

Thai royal family Zhenlin Mahida said excitedly:

“Strongly request to open the stall on the spot!”

"I didn't eat enough at the judging table just now!"

Li Baixuan from Poh Hsien Zhenlin complained: "Just one plate, how can that be enough?"

Sun Yun touched her belly and said with a smile: "I feel like I can still eat ten more plates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, people around him all cast unfriendly glances at him, and the atmosphere was like a pack of wolves fighting for food.

"You eat ten plates, what about our portions?"

"that is!"

"I don't ask for much. I'm lucky enough to have a plate of this today, and I'll have no regrets in my life!"

"Hey, it's too much to say that I have no regrets in my life... I want to live longer and taste more of Boss Xia's new classic dishes!"

Everyone in the "Polaris Dormitory" may be of the lowest status among the crowd. At this moment, they are trembling and dare only speak in low voices.

Yoshino Yuuki's eyes lit up: "Really? Can I really eat Boss Xia's "Golden Soup Hibiscus Crab"? "

The dormitory leader Isse Hui shook his head and said:

"Don't have too high expectations, because... the three fantasy ingredients used in "Golden Soup Lotus Crab", ten-yolked eggs, ruby ​​crabs, and marshmallow pumpkins, are all of high quality."

"In other words, this famous dish is a typical food war dish, a competition dish, and is not suitable for large-scale batch cooking to entertain guests."

Unexpectedly, Amber Murphy's voice suddenly came from the crowd:

"I'll pay for the entire meal."

"I can provide plenty of ten-yolked eggs, ruby ​​crabs, and marshmallow pumpkins!"

Oh my god, sister, are you so rich?
Everyone looked at each other.

However, Rowan Murphy had a blank expression on his face. He supported his sister An Bo and said coldly, "It's just some pseudo-unicorn ingredients. Besides, the number of people we are entertaining now is only a few dozen, less than a hundred. We can afford this expense."

Just some fake ingredients...

The reception scale is only a few dozen people...

These two sentences, which show such extravagance, would make anyone’s heart tremble after hearing them.

Sun Ying said a little sourly: "Tsk tsk, my father is a wealthy man, and my sister and brother are both rich. I can confidently say that I will pay for the banquet for the Crab in Golden Soup."

Sun Xiang: "He is not just an ordinary dragon giant, but a mountain in the Gourmet Club. He controls a 'coordinate point' that connects to a secret food realm."

As they spoke, everyone in the Sun family looked at Granny Sun.

If this person who is both my teacher and mother can successfully get rid of the curse of the unpalatable seal and enter the food industry, she can definitely become a giant in a short time...

Cough!

Nakiri Senzaemon stepped forward and said:

"This is Totsuki Academy, and this is Totsuki's palace... Between the Moon and the Sky!"

"How can the expenses of the banquet be borne entirely by outsiders?"

After that, he waved his hand and asked his capable assistant Jingpu Hisahiro to come up:
"Count the number of people on site, estimate the consumption of food, and then have the logistics department transport the food as soon as possible!"

Amber and Luo Wen, brother and sister, did not force themselves to intervene. They nodded and agreed to Senzaemon's arrangement.

Thus, the problem of the most expensive ingredients was solved.

Everyone looked at Xia An, expecting his response, but what could Xia An say? His expression was slightly strange.

Because, at this moment, a new goal popped up on the God of Cooking panel——

You know, he hadn't had time to submit and settle his food battle goal, and he hadn't even left the food battle venue yet. "A new goal is right in front of me again?"

……

[I am already in the mode of losing money and becoming a chef god. 】

[Goal ①: Open a stall at the Moon Festival (school festival) in Totsuki and sell more than ten servings of the perfect version of the 'Golden Soup Hibiscus Crab' dish (double the ingredients returned)]

[Goal ②: Open a stall at the Totsuki 'Moon Festival' (school festival) and sell over 100 servings of the perfect version of 'Golden Soup Hibiscus Crab' (10 times the ingredients returned)]

[Goal ③: The proportion of luminous dishes should not be less than 20% (the reward list can be upgraded, depending on the host's performance score)]

……

It’s the familiar mode of losing money and becoming a chef god!

Moreover, he accidentally got involved in the Totsuki "Moon Festival" plot and was judged by the panel as participating in the campus food festival?
In this way, this job is equivalent to opening a food stall in the venue between the moon and the sky.

Xia An secretly thought: "It's easy to achieve the new goal of getting ruby ​​crabs. The stock will be gone long time ago."

"As for the two new ingredients, [Ten-Yolk Eggs] and [Marshmallow Pumpkins], which are returned double or tenfold, we no longer need to rely on the shrine store for the channels!"

What is a self-produced and self-sold ruthless all-in-one machine?
Xia An first placed the fried crab meat and eggs on a plate, then poured in the pumpkin soup and presented it to Luo Wen and An Bo:
"You two can enjoy these two dishes first. You can continue eating at my food stall later."

Hearing this, the brother and sister, who had originally shown regret that the two dishes in this batch did not shine, suddenly smiled.

Luo Wen: "Then I'll try the unlit version first!"

Amber: "We agreed that we will open the stall later and cook a glowing version... my sister and I must have one, right?"

Seeing Xia An nod, the brother and sister let Xia An leave.

Then, in front of envious and jealous gazes, the siblings ate and discussed in low voices.

Xia An walked straight towards Nakiri Senzaemon:

"Commander-in-chief, how many people are here?"

At this time, Jingpu Hisahiro was reporting, and he said, "51 people."

Xia An frowned: "Only 51 people?"

Normally, 51 people would have 51 dishes. Of course, if there are enough ingredients and everyone eats double, the goal of serving over dishes can be easily achieved.

However, Xia An hopes that his new classic "Golden Soup Lotus Crab" can be eaten by more people instead of being put on the shelf.

"Commander, let more people in, students or faculty members, it would be best if there are more than a hundred people." Xia An suggested, "I will cover the consumption of food for the extra customers."

Nakiri Senzaemon laughed and waved his hand:
"Yutsuki is following you to gain favor, how can you let yourself provide the ingredients?"

"We are not as good as large secret organizations like the Gourmet Club and Utopia, but at least we have our own coordinates!"

Xia An was naturally happy to have a big dog owner provide food.

He found an excuse to take a short break, returned to the backstage lounge alone, sat on the sofa, and opened the panel:

"Finally, we can settle the target!"

……

[Goal completed (win the first pseudo-Lin-level food battle in your career)]

[Reward ①: Food and Justice Market Fireworks "Blue" → Food and Justice Market Fireworks "Purple"]

[Reward ②: Glowing Talent (Purple) → Glowing Talent (Pseudo-Gold 2/3)]

['Amber Murphy's Character Treasure Box' (Pseudo-Gold/Pseudo-Lin) (drops food skills, recipes, talents, etc.)]

……

"Without a doubt... a great harvest!"

Xia An's eyes lit up slightly.

Shiyi is further upgraded and turned into a purple frame. The only next stage of upgrade is Pseudo-Gold and Pseudo-Lin.

At the same time, the extremely important luminous talent, after a long time, finally collected another fragment, and the upgrading progress of Pseudo-Gold and Pseudo-Lin has reached 2/3.

Even if you are lucky enough to complete the newly triggered school festival opening goal, the reward list of goal ③ is likely to provide the last fragment...

At last!
It's the food battle trophy treasure chest!
What kind of gold coins will be dropped by Amber Murphy, the top-level pseudo-unicorn of the Gourmet Club?
Xia An opened the golden box——

[Congratulations, you have obtained 'Strong Luck Against Fate' (Fake Gold) (Food Luck Talent)] ["Strong Luck Against Fate" (cannot be added points, cannot be upgraded): The 'Fate-Defying Twins' of the Gourmet Club were born and raised in the food world, and are quite loved and favored by the world. ]

Xia An: ? ?

Ah this?

What’s more, it’s complete, not fragmented?

He was so surprised that he studied it carefully several times before he was sure that he had hit the jackpot and drawn the most valuable talent in the treasure chest.

Food luck...

In the original setting of "Food Prisoners", food luck is very important.

It's like the hidden luck or drop rate attributes in the game.

The luck value is high and the drop rate is incredible.

Wherever you go, there are treasures everywhere.

From the perspective of ordinary players who rely on hard work and sweat, these people are just cheaters who use modifiers.

Of course, food luck is not just a simple concept of luck!

It is said that people with high food luck can resonate with top-quality ingredients, and thus can easily find legendary ingredients.

The [Gourmet God Acacia]’s luck in food has reached the level of “divine harmony”, and he has a natural induction connection with the top-level lives such as God!
And food luck is divided into innate destiny and acquired evolution.

The siblings Luo Wen and An Bo clearly have the innate fate type.

As for acquired evolution...

In the original work, Komatsu gradually accumulated extraordinary luck in food by constantly cooking rare ingredients.

There are even many wars that broke out because of food.

After all, food luck can be transferred or plundered through special means!
The representative story is that Joe started a war to obtain Komatsu's food...

The three tigers fight Acacia to complete their own destiny...

The protagonist A Lu evolved from a simple gourmet hunter to the "God of Food Luck"...

and!

Xia An knew that there was still a lot of room for development of his talent for food luck.

For example, in the cooking process, the food skills that originally had a probability of failure, after being blessed and amplified by food luck, are like obtaining a "guaranteed hit" lucky buff.

Huh?
Thinking of this, Xia An thought of the "Aurora" and "Happy Smile" expressions in the original "Century Soup", which are very similar to luminous dishes.

Since top dishes share common characteristics, could food luck affect... glowing?

"I should have copied Amber Murphy's fate of eating, instead of plundering and devouring."

Xia An was eager to try and thought:

"It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this treat to try and see if food luck can increase the chance of glowing!"

……

the other side.

When Xia An went backstage to rest.

After asking Xia An on the social software, Dong Yegang told others about the information that Xia An had connected to the demon town at the coordinate point and had displayed his supernatural power at the first show banquet.

"What... So Chef Xia An already had a pseudo-Lin answer work called "Crispy Ruby Crab Legs" before this food battle?"

"I was wondering why Chef Xia An accepted the Food Wars Challenge. It turns out he has confidence!"

"So, if the main dish or meat dish is drawn in the food battle theme, Chef Xia An doesn't even need to research new recipes, and can just dish out the Crispy Ruby Crab Legs to win?"

The information that "Crispy Ruby Crab Legs" has reached the perfect answer level is leaked from the demon land of the food world for the first time.

After all, apart from Xia An and Higashino Tsuyoshi, no one else has the qualifications to travel through the coordinate points and go to the Monster Land to participate in and witness this feast.

soon.

More than a hundred industry professionals gathered in the Yuetianjian Museum started a heated discussion.

Chi Xiaobai was shocked and said:

"Hey, there was already a recipe for the pseudo-Lin answer level before, and now you're creating a second one just for this food battle?"

"This is the speed of light filling in two answers on his own pseudo-Lin life menu!"

Meng Yulu was relieved, but also a little bitter. She said:

"Who would have thought that he would leave us far behind so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiaobai slapped his thigh and bared his teeth. "When he was a newly promoted special grade, I was still wondering when he would be able to reach the peak special grade. I wanted to compete with him on the same stage, have a competition, and severely suppress this kid."

A joking voice came from the side:

"What now? Boss Chi?"

It was Liu Shimeng who brought Lu Zuguang, Wen Chaoqing and Tang Jinghan to meet up.

Liu Shimeng said with a smile: "Anyway, I had the honor to compete with Boss Xia on the stage of the Juxialou Competition. Now seeing that my 'classmate' is so fierce and has reached the pseudo-unicorn realm at the speed of light, I feel very honored and proud!"

Tang Jinghan curled his lips and said:

"You can brag all you want! But don't forget, there's one of us who once had a food battle with Boss Xia!"

Suddenly, Chi Xiaobai, Meng Yulu and the two pseudo-Lin from Shenzhou all cast surprised glances at Wen Chaoqing, who was scratching his head in embarrassment, as if they were looking at a god.

"Hey, it seems Xiao Wen really had a food battle with Boss Xia?"

"Hmm... the internal food battle of Yangquan Restaurant?"

Tang Jinghan put his hands on Wen Chaoqing's shoulders and said with a smile:
"From now on, tell everyone that I had a food battle with the new giant. I guarantee that no one will dare to provoke you again. I will re-evaluate your fighting ability!"

Just as Wen Chaoqing's face twitched and he didn't know how to answer, Xia An returned from the backstage. Fearing to be left behind, everyone rushed to Kitchen No. 2, eagerly waiting for Xia An to open the stall and entertain them.

Naturally, when Xia An used his unique skill of "Silver Chopsticks, Ten Pots Return" to cook ten pots of crab meat and eggs of the same quality in each batch, the venue suddenly became quiet.

……

Two days later.

The autumn school festival in which Totsuki took the initiative to hitch a ride on the pseudo-Rin Shokugeki came to an end.

This year's school festival has set a record in terms of influence and discussion. Not only is the whole of Japan boiling with excitement, but it is also being widely discussed internationally.

After two days of fermentation, the news from the reception finally spread throughout the food club.

"So, before the Food Wars, he already had a pseudo-Lin's Answer-level recipe called 'Crispy Ruby Crab Legs'?"

"There's a recipe for a pseudo-Lin answer, it's not a 'new' contestant at all!"

"Interesting, Dr. K is made to look even more like a clown."

The Neon branch of the Gourmet Club is located here.

Nakamura Ji's face turned pale. After hanging up the phone, he smashed the phone fiercely on the spot:
"Hehehe... We lost the food battle, the reputation of the food club has been damaged, and they're leaving me out to take the blame?"

Half a day later, a food association inspector arrived and said to Nakamura Ji expressionlessly, "You should be dismissed and report to the organization's headquarters in the food industry."

Nakamura Ji said nothing and picked up his packed suitcase.

The inspector said, "To be precise, you are the 33rd Special Expedition Team that will report to the headquarters. After a week's rest, you will be transferred to the unknown area of ​​the second continent for exploration and expedition."

Nakamura Ji suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, I want to call my son."

"The expedition team narrowly escaped death. You should leave some last words."

"Also, don't even think about deserting. Each of you will be implanted with a chip. If you leave the observable range, the chip will self-destruct and explode."

Nakamura Ji held a spare phone, stared at the number "Cai Bo Chaoyang" in the notes list, struggled for a moment, then exhaled and said:
"Forget it, I don't have any last words."

Tokyo Metropolitan Airport.

As soon as Nakamura Ji and the inspection envoy entered the terminal hall, they heard a commotion.

Passengers, regardless of gender, age or race, excitedly rushed to a waiting area.

"It has been revealed in the media that this year's first-year students of Totsuki will go to the Shenzhou Gourmet World for their autumn "field training"."

"Ah, so those are Totsuki students waiting for their flight over there?"

"Not really. Yuanyue will charter a special plane to send students. Over there are Boss Xia, his students, his relatives and friends..."

Soon, the boarding announcement sounded. Nakamura Ji looked up at the boarding gate for the flight to Shenzhou Magic City and saw Xia An surrounded by excited people like a popular superstar.

Nakamura Ji retracted his gaze and gritted his teeth, "Doesn't the organization intend to avenge its shame?"

The inspector looked at him like a fool:
"Now, is there any fake Lin who dares to challenge this person to a food battle? Are you so arrogant as to challenge the true meaning of luminescence?"

Nakamura Ji: “…”

"Is that so? If you are unwilling, then try your best to survive the expedition. Every veteran who survives will make great progress in cooking skills and gourmet cell sequence."

On the flight back home.

There were many familiar faces sitting around Xia An.

The three female disciples, Alice, Erina, and Miyoko, were feeling anxious and uneasy about the "field training" that would take place immediately after they landed.

However, it was Kobayashi Ryudan, the last graduating student to come in, who had the awareness of an older senior student. She was telling her training story in a vivid way to calm everyone's emotions.

Xia An closed his eyes and took a rest, checking the targets on the panel that were automatically settled as the Totsuki School Festival came to an end.

He didn't dare to extract targets ① and ② immediately, otherwise the food would be blocked in the cabin.

And since goal ③ is the reward list, there is no need to worry about it.

"Panel, open it for me——"
