The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 73 Cheese Rabbit (rd update!)

This is Xia An's second time at the Qixingge Riverview Hotel.

However, unlike the last time when I came here, when I was unknown, Xia An's car had just been parked in the parking lot, and Tong Kun, who was waiting for someone, came up like a welcoming doorman and opened the car door:

"Boss Xia, please."

Tong Kun was as respectful as he could be.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Xia An was surprised and asked, "Director Tong, why were you sent out to do these odd jobs?"

Hearing this, Tong Kun's face twitched:
"I was selfish and reported the news late, so my superiors punished me to do odd jobs for a while."

Xia An groaned and changed the subject:

"Have Manager Liu and Editor-in-Chief Liang arrived?"

"coming."

Tong Kun, who was leading the way, said in high spirits: "A lot of people from the industry came today, one or two thousand people."

"Tsk, so many?"

Xia An couldn't help but think of the last food battle.

He was a newcomer, and Hojo Midori was a 2-star culinary expert, so he was immediately ignored and the event was forced to become a late-night food battle without an audience.

"The Nine-Star Master Chef Shokugeki is like this. There are not many shows throughout the year. When you see the announcement of the Shokugeki show, those who have time will rush over from other provinces and cities to make an appointment to watch it."

Everyone came to the food battle venue set up inside the hotel.

The lounge is on the second floor of the venue. Through the one-way floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook almost the entire venue.

There was no classic pre-match trash talk session where two players shared a locker room and hurled harsh words at each other.

"There are still 15 minutes. I'll notify you later." Tong Kun closed the door and left first.

Leaving behind Xia An, Xiao Xi and the female disciples.

"Wow." Xiaoxi broke free from Midori's arms, jumped down, and threw herself on the smooth floor-to-ceiling glass. Her big, shining eyes reflected the almost full auditorium, "Dad, there are so many uncles and aunts."

Xia An couldn't help but smile, walked forward, rubbed Xiaoxi's head, and stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass, overlooking the food battle platform where the lights were gathered.

There are two open kitchens facing each other, with cameras positioned all around and even in the air.

The broadcast screen in the sky fixed the camera and the picture on the workbench. There was a shining sign on each of the two kitchen counters, inscribed with multiple languages:
Chef Chean.

Chef Xiang Shilin.

Xia An stared at his own kitchen and his own business card on the broadcast screen with a slightly deep look in his eyes.

……

Soon, the judges and guests came in and took their seats.

The host of this food battle was actually Chi Xiaobai.

He appeared first and walked onto the food battle platform:
"Without further ado, I'm sure everyone is looking forward to this food battle. Welcome the other four judges to take their seats!"

The venue was filled with applause.

So, Nakiri Masanagi took the lead, followed by Linggui Province General Director Wei Xuelin, then Saiba Shiroichiro, and finally Lan Qingya.

A group of people.

They walked out of the passage, facing the spotlight, and sat down in the judges' seats one after another.

Nakiri Managi had the most respected status and identity, and sat firmly in the main judge's seat.

Wei Xuelin's seat was on the left side of the chief judge, while the empty seat on the right side of the chief judge was obviously Chi Xiaobai's.

Lan Qingya and Saiba Chengichiro were arranged on the two wings.

This luxurious lineup was displayed on the big screen during the broadcast.

The venue was suddenly filled with shocked whispers.

"Hiss, this lineup is a little too exaggerated." Liang Guiqin covered her mouth tightly, exclaimed, and lowered her head slightly to avoid her exaggerated facial expression being captured by the camera passing through the audience and thus making her look embarrassed.

"The worst ones are all Lan Qingya, the queen of the food world, and the rest are all top-notch chefs with limited experience!"

Liu Hong also widened his eyes.

……

Another lounge.

Xiang Shilin changed into a brand new white chef's uniform, with a serious look on his face, and waited quietly for the show to start.

Wu Zhu sat on the sofa in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass, feeling extremely nervous and complicated.

To be honest, deep down he didn't want Xiang Shilin to win.

What if we defeat the person who can reproduce the glow in this world, that is, Boss Xia, and make Boss Xia's faith broken, so that he can never reproduce the glow miracle again?
Wouldn't that mean he would have to spend his entire life, just like his father, waiting for the next reappearance?

Do not!
Whoever loves to wait will be cursed and tortured.

Wu Zhu wished he could eat enough of the glowing food right away to erase the "unpalatable mark" on his body.

So, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I can't support you in this food battle... Wu Zhu said silently in his heart.

"Ok?"

Noticing Wu Zhu's complicated gaze, Xiang Shilin raised his eyebrows and said, "You look very nervous. Are you afraid that I will lose?"

He had no idea that his fake friend was cursing him in the head and telling him to lose.

"No, no." Wu Zhu said with a forced smile, "I just think it's hard for you to win. After all, he is Boss Xia..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Xiang Shilin interrupted with a wave of his hand, turned around, and gave Wu Zhu a cold and aloof back:

"Then open your eyes and watch how the new-age dishes that combine fantasy ingredients crush the so-called luminous secrets!"

Done.

Xiang Shilin opened the door and walked out as the broadcast in the lounge reminded the players to go on stage.

Wu Zhu fell silent, and after a moment he murmured:

"Then have you ever thought that Boss Xia is not some old-fashioned old-fashioned person who clings to the secret of luminescence?"

"He can also use and control fantasy ingredients!"

He didn't say these words to Xiang Shilin.

in case.

Dishes that use fantasy ingredients are also given the power of glowing.

The one who will be crushed will be you!

"Two contestants have already come on stage..."

Chi Xiaobai's hosting voice could be faintly heard from outside.

Wu Zhu quickly stood up and rushed to the large one-way floor-to-ceiling glass, staring closely at Boss Xia and Xiang Shilin who were standing together.

The two of them were on the podium, going through the motions, and shook hands coldly with each other.

Xiang Shilin's mouth obviously moved when they shook hands. Wu Zhu couldn't hear what he said, but based on Wu Zhu's understanding of him, he must have been making some kind of declaration of crushing victory.

Boss Xia ignored Xiang Shilin. The two of them turned their backs and walked into the open kitchen where their business cards were placed.

"Ding--"

The venue that looked like a small gymnasium was filled with the sound of whistles signaling the start of the food battle.

Chi Xiaobai, who was hosting the event, said solemnly:

"The food battle has officially begun, and the time limit is 2 hours."

Simultaneously.

The large screen above Chi Xiaobai's head displayed the theme of the dishes for this food battle:
"Fusion Cuisine!"

See this topic.

The audience erupted in excited cheers.

"Is this actually a big showdown or collision of fantasy ingredients?"

"Nine celebrity chefs each master their own fantasy ingredients, it's like a comet hitting the earth! This trip all the way from Shu is worth the money!"

"Will there be a one-sided situation where high-level fantasy ingredients crush low-level fantasy ingredients?"

Chi Xiaobai did not return to his judging seat, but said something into the microphone on his collar.

Soon.

The door to the logistics channel for transporting food opened with a bang.

Two electric transport vehicles entered the site.

"These are the main fantasy ingredients that the two Shokugeki contestants handed over to our association for review and safekeeping one day in advance!"

As Chi Xiaobai spoke, he led the broadcast camera to the tram that transported Xiang Shilin's food.

He suddenly opened the curtain of the rear compartment.

Wow!

A dead giant rabbit, nearly 2 meters long, appeared on the broadcast screen.

"Cheese bunny!"

“Complete golden fantasy ingredients!”

The audience's reaction to seeing this giant rabbit was explosive.
