The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 50: Erina Nakiri's Rebellion

"Miyoko-chan, the first lesson that Master is going to teach you is that no matter who you are fighting against, your only opponent is always yourself!"

"If you can constantly surpass yourself in every food battle, then even if you lose, you will still gain a lot."

Xia An was very skilled and first gave his beloved disciple some spiritual chicken soup.

“So, don’t be afraid of losing. The important thing is to gain something and make progress after every failure!”

Hojo Midori was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, the fire in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

He clenched his fist and whispered:

"You are your opponent in every food battle? Do you keep surpassing yourself?"

Then, she took a deep breath and felt that she was fully prepared to be beaten badly by the top ten contestants of this year.

Master is right!
Being ravaged by a strong man, pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly.

As long as you can hold on and have the indomitable faith of a cockroach, it may be a good way to hone yourself and improve yourself.

Soma Yukihira was abused 489 times by his father, but he was never really defeated.

Such a strong spirit is really worth learning from.

However, after preparing herself mentally, Hojo Miyoko still asked cautiously:
"Since this is a food battle, the judges will be..."

"It's me, Mr. Caibo, and Xiaoxi. The three of us are just right."

The corners of Hojo Miyoko's mouth twitched slightly and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't refute.

"You guys take breakfast as the theme, there are no cuisine requirements, just do what you are good at."

"Out of 10 points, the one with the highest overall score will be deemed the winner."

However, after being fed with chicken soup, the contestants’ emotions were also brewing.

The subsequent plot development was not at all what Xia An had imagined, a scene of three female disciples engaging in a food battle.

Xia An's voice had just fallen.

A voice that did not conceal its pride said:
"I'm not interested in this kind of food battle where the outcome is obvious!"

As Erina Nakiri spoke, she made a very signature gesture and slightly lifted her golden hair off her shoulders.

His eyes looked directly at Xia An, clearly revealing his eagerness to try:
"The one I want to challenge is you!"

Hearing the voice, Xia An met Erina Nakiri's eyes which were filled with seriousness.

"Challenge me?"

He was stunned for a moment, then complained in his heart.

I can only say that you are worthy of being such a proud golden peacock.

But it was because old man Senzaemon gave too much. What's more, when Erina Nakiri finished speaking, there was new movement on the panel again!
[The chef panel has temporarily switched to food battle mode. 】

[Goal has been triggered: educate the new apprentice and establish the master's authority. Cook dishes with no less than 6 stars (or ancient recipes) to win this daily life food battle.]

[Complete the goal to gain a lot of experience points (2 exp)]

[Currently, there is a high probability of obtaining the skill/talent fragments of the food battle opponent (drugging). ]

Hold the grass.

Can this also generate experience?

Can you also get some wool?
Moreover, 2 experience points are quite considerable, comparable to the experience gained from setting up a stall last night.

Xia An's eyes changed and he stared at the golden-haired girl as if he was looking at a gold mine waiting for him to continue mining.

"Ok?"

Erina Nakiri noticed that Xia An's eyes when he looked at her suddenly became a little eager.

It was as if she had some great treasure hidden in her body.

The corners of Xia An's mouth slightly raised a smile: "I have to ask again, are you sure you want to have a food battle with me?"

Erina Nakiri has a tough attitude:
"That's right. In my opinion, neither Alice nor Hojo Miyoko are worthy of my all-out efforts in the food battle. Only you..."

The girl paused, as if she was hesitating whether to call Xia An "senior" or "master".

But in Xia An's eyes.

Oh yeah?

The tsundere's attitude clearly shows that he is still not convinced.

After all, Erina Nakiri has never actually eaten the classic dish he recreated.

Therefore, his understanding of the cooking skills of this new master is not clear enough.

Therefore, there is a psychological barrier in calling him "Master" and he cannot pronounce it out loud.

Xia An clicked his tongue.

Originally, his teaching plan was to show her power and dampen Erina Nakiri's arrogance so that he could educate her in the future.

The specific plan was for the three of them to have a food battle, and he would comment on each one point by point, and then casually point out the flaws in the three students' dishes. Then, he would perfect them on the spot, astonishing everyone with his skills.

But he still underestimated Erina Nakiri's pride.

In Totsuki Academy, each of the Ten Elite members is simply aloof from the world.

Ordinary teaching courses are no longer applicable to this group of top talents, and there are only a few lecturers and professors who can truly convince the top ten.

of course!

As far as Xia An knows.

Among this year's top ten, Erina Nakiri is probably the most troublesome one.

For example, if you are strong, Teruki Kuga and Eizun Ezuya will definitely submit to you. As for the other members, they all have their own personalities and are interesting people. In general, dealing with these ten heroes is not as twisted as talking to Erina Nakiri.

She is used to being in a superior position, so now she has to humble herself and learn skills from a master.

It's impossible without completely conquering her first.

"I'm more than happy to accept your food challenge."

Xia An smiled, walked into the open kitchen and pointed at the large double-door refrigerator.

“It’s still breakfast-themed.”

“Only the ingredients in the refrigerator.”

Erina Nakiri moved quickly and opened the large refrigerator.

The warehouse was just restocked yesterday, and the dazzling array of ingredients caught her eyes, which were filled with vigorous flames of challenge.

……

When Alice washed, changed her clothes and went downstairs.

I saw Erina standing in front of the refrigerator, carefully selecting ingredients one by one, taking them out and placing them on the kitchen counter, examining and thinking about something.

"Ah this?"

The atmosphere in the lobby on the first floor was surprisingly subtle.

Alice was confused and glanced at the open kitchen which seemed to be the center of the storm's vortex.

I ran over to Saibajo Ichiro who had a big smile on his face and asked quietly:

"Senior Caibo, what happened while I was upstairs?"

Saiba Joichiro said with emotion:

"Alice, you have a better personality. It's much easier to take care of you. Erina just did something really rebellious."

Alice: Meow? ?
She asked in surprise: "So, what kind of rebellious act is this?"

Saiba Joichiro's eyes flickered: "She challenged Boss Xia to a food battle!"

“Eh? Eh——”

The white-haired, red-eyed girl's cry of surprise dragged on for a long time.

Alice: (-ω-;)
"Ah this, this, this!"

She bit her lip and paced a few circles.

"What about my Shokugeki, Miyoko-chan's Shokugeki?"

Hojo Miyoko also slowed down her pace and approached quietly, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "It seems that we don't need to have a food battle."

Alice let out a long sigh of relief.

"Great!"

In front of Hojo Midori and Saiba Joichiro, Alice waved her fists with joy.

"Miyoko-sister..."

At this time, Xiaoxi appeared in the stairwell, holding the railing, rubbing her eyes, looking dazed as if she had just woken up.

"Shh!"

Hojo Midori hurried over, carried Xiaoxi downstairs, and put her finger to her lips, signaling Xiaoxi to be quiet.

Xiaoxi was very well behaved. With her clear and silly big eyes open, she followed everyone's nervous gaze and looked towards the open kitchen.

"Dad and that sister, what are they going to do?" Xiaoxi frowned, obviously smelling the gunpowder filling the kitchen.

"Shokugeki." Hojo Miyoko answered subconsciously.

After saying this, she felt speechless. How could a five-year-old girl understand the meaning and weight of the word "food wars"?

Who would have thought that Xiaoxi would suddenly sit up straight in her arms, her childish voice full of seriousness:

"Then Dad has to win."

"Mom said so."

"Shokugeki is a game you can't lose!"

Hear the words.

Saiba Joichiro looked at the little girl in surprise: "Who is her mother?"

Hojo Midori thought that what happened between Xiaoxi, Lan Qingya and her master Xia An on the night of the food reception had already been exposed in the small circle, so there was no need to guard against it strictly.

"Her mother is Lan Qingya."

At that moment, Saibajo Ichiro's expression was very interesting.

There are so many melons today.

I can’t finish it!

strong enough!

On the other side, Erina Nakiri tied the apron that Xia An handed to her.

Like a general reviewing his soldiers, his gaze continued to scan the ingredients in the refrigerator compartments, his light purple eyes filled with thought.

Compared to her.

Xia An was much more relaxed and put on an apron. Many daily Cantonese breakfast recipes flashed through her mind:

Rice noodle rolls, wonton noodles, crystal shrimp dumplings...
