Whenever multiple countries are involved in competition, especially the five major powers, regardless of the field, there will inevitably be some uncontrollable factors interfering to some extent!
To sum it up with a simple movie line: "The referees, witnesses, organizers, co-organizers, referees, and even the football itself are all my people. How can you compete with me?!"
Although Lin Youshu believed that he was second to none in cooking, he was helpless when faced with a group of judges who had lost their sense of taste and could lie through their teeth.
……
Nakiri Managi looked at him with a half-smile.
The little guy knows quite a lot.
After a long pause, he said slowly, "I can't guarantee you'll win the championship, but this time, I will attend this World Culinary Competition as a judge. If I encounter any unfair situations, I certainly won't stand idly by."
Upon hearing this, Lin Youshu was overjoyed: "Then I'm relieved!"
Wow, it feels so good to have someone behind you!
As Nakiri Managi, her presence at this World Championship would be a pillar of stability, minimizing the possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation.
For Lin Youshu, that was enough!
When it comes to raw strength, he has never been weak!
Managi Nakiri added, "Although I don't know who you're looking for as teammates, I'd like to remind you that it's best to submit the roster to me a week before the World Championship starts. After all, approval takes time."
"no problem!"
Lin Youshu nodded.
There are still about 20 days until the start of the competition. If we move it up a week, then there will be only half a month left.
This amount of time is enough to build a team and get them working together initially!
In fact, he had already decided who would be the first teammate.
The prerequisite is that the other party is willing to join!
……
"Miss Alice, excuse me."
Lin Youshu looked at the slightly stunned silver-haired girl in front of him and smiled apologetically: "There's something I wanted to ask if you're interested."
"what's up?"
Alice Nakiri is curious.
You should know about the World Culinary Championships, right?
Lin Youshu carefully considered his words.
"Of course!"
Alice nodded, then suddenly thought of a possibility.
All that could be heard was Lin Youshu saying, "After I won the TEBLE Chef Championship last time, I received an invitation to the World Culinary Competition."
Alice's eyes lit up immediately.
Could it be that……
She instantly became excited.
"It seems you guessed it."
Lin Youshu chuckled: "That's right, I'm planning to form my own team to participate in this World Culinary Competition. Now I need teammates. Because according to the rules, each team needs to have at least five members. However, apart from myself, who is confirmed, no one else has joined yet. So, I was wondering if Miss Alice would be interested?"
Alice Nakiri smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to invite me?"
She was naturally more than willing.
However, this happened rather suddenly, and for a moment it felt like I was in a dream.
She certainly knew about the World Culinary Competition; it was a major event held every four years in the culinary world.
Given her status, even securing a spot wouldn't be easy.
After all, each country only has 10 slots, so it's basically all about competing for them. There are so many talented culinary geniuses under 25 in the Japanese food world; it's not necessarily true that one can surpass others.
Now that Lin Youshu has formed his own team and given her a spot, it's like a windfall!
Not to mention his teammate is Lin Youshu!
This is a dream job that many people can only dream of!
……
It looks like there's hope.
Lin Youshu smiled and nodded: "In my opinion, Miss Alice's culinary skills have reached the standard of a world-class master, and she is unparalleled in the field of molecular gastronomy. It would be my honor if she would agree to join my team."
This is not an intentional compliment.
Although Alice Nakiri lost to Yuuki Hayashi in the previous Food War, that was because her opponent was Yuuki Hayashi!
It's not that her cooking skills are bad!
Even a three-Michelin-starred chef like Osamu Yamamoto would still be defeated by Yuuki Hayashi!
The prodigy of molecular gastronomy, the closest to the Elite Ten at Totsuki Academy, and with his age advantage, he's the perfect teammate!
Alice Nakiri smiled broadly: "To receive the recognition of a legend is an honor for me!"
Lin Youshu quickly waved his hand: "Don't say that. I'm not a legend. I'm just an ordinary chef."
Alice's smile faded, and she secretly rolled her eyes: "I just can't understand your old-fashioned humility at all!"
She is of mixed race and received her education abroad from childhood, so she finds it difficult to understand the culture of humility common in the East.
In her view, if someone is excellent in a certain aspect, they should show it; that is a sign of confidence.
He's clearly a super talented young culinary genius, so why does he have to resort to those old guys' self-deprecating tricks?
Aside from this one point of dissatisfaction, Alice felt that Lin Youshu was pretty good in every other way.
Including appearance.
"420..."
Lin Youshu couldn't answer that question, so he could only ask her instead, "So, you're agreeing?"
Alice slightly raised her chin: "I have no reason to refuse, do I? Being able to be teammates with a legendary chef and compete in the World Championship is something other chefs can only dream of!"
"And what about your father..."
"I'll deal with it!"
Alice Nakiri said decisively, "He will agree!"
Lin Youshu nodded: "That's for the best!"
Although Nakiri Soe may seem rigid, he is actually a very nice person.
But if it comes to Alice, I reckon Nakiri Munee could probably slice him into eighteen pieces with just a look!
Overprotective fathers are terrifying!
……
The world championships are divided into individual and team events.
Each section contains three different projects. You can participate in only some of the projects or register for all of them; there are no restrictions.
Alice Nakiri then asked, "Which part will I be responsible for?"
Lin Youshu thought for a moment: "No rush, let me set up the team first."
Alice Nakiri asked curiously, "Besides you and me, do you have any other three people in mind?"
Lin Youshu smiled: "Yes, there are, but I don't know if they will agree."
He was confident about one of them, but the other two...
It's hard to say.
Chapter 95 Tadokoro Megumi Weeps with Joy
Regarding the choice of the third teammate...
Lin Youshu's preferred love interest is Tadokoro Megumi.
Let's gamble on a late-game advantage!
Those who can become the new Elite Ten after winning the team's food battle must be quite strong!
Megumi Tadokoro's potential is undeniable.
The main problem is that performance is easily affected by mindset; once nervous, performance drops precipitously.
Currently, her performance may not be as outstanding as Alice Nakiri, but it is sufficient for her as a support character.
Lin Youshu doesn't expect a team to be full of main DPS characters.
……
I found Tadokoro Megumi's contact information.
Lin Youshu sent her a message: "Are you there, Tadokoro-kun? I'd like to ask for your opinion on something."
"Senior Lin, you finally contacted me!!"
Megumi Tadokoro replied quickly.
Seeing this, Lin Youshu suddenly felt ashamed.
Indeed, he hadn't been in much contact with Tadokoro Megumi since the cooking tournament ended.
Now you only think of others when you need help, um...
It's very subtle.
Fortunately, Tadokoro Megumi didn't think much of it and sent another message: "Is there anything that you need my opinion on, Senior Hayashi?"
Lin Youshu slightly modified his original words to Nakiri Alice and repeated them to Tadokoro Megumi: "Didn't I get an invitation to the World Culinary Championship at the tournament? Now I'm preparing to form a team to participate in the world championship. According to the rules, at least five people are needed. Currently, besides myself, I've only confirmed one teammate. I was wondering if you'd be interested?"
On the other end of the network.
Tadokoro Megumi, who was holding her phone with initial delight, was suddenly stunned.
