Rebirth as a Cooking God

The old shopping street of Ameyoko.

A red sports car was parked in front of Xia's small shop, and the restaurant's door was only half open, and warm yellowish lights poured out from the shop, illuminating a small area of ​​the street.

In the store, Xia Yu was busy in the kitchen, preparing a supper for Liangzi Lina, Morita Maki, and himself.

Supper is not a fancy food, but three bowls of beef ramen with a lighter taste.

The three sat at the same table, eating quietly.

Xia Yu was a little absent-minded. In fact, just now in the kitchen, he double-checked what he had gained from [Comprehension Crystal], and he still doesn't believe it.

System data floating on the retina:

[Spice Affinity]: 'Seasoning' is one of the advanced talents, but after lighting it up, talent points cannot be allocated to increase the level. If you want to become an authority on spices and a master of spices, then this talent is indispensable.

Click on the talent/skill tree diagram of God of Cooking, and you can see that the basic skill of seasoning at the bottom has a golden line that goes straight up, connecting the icon representing the [Spice Affinity] talent.

The icon of [Kitchen Heart] is a distorted abstract heart shape.

The icon of [Explosion Flame] is an elemental flame with angry eyes.

And the [Spice Affinity] icon is a pair of slender hands.

Xia Yu still doesn't know the specific function of this talent. In the car, he just intuitively read out the ingredients of the spices in the sachet, but he just tried it in the kitchen. This talent seems to be limited to spices. Other condiments didn't react at all, and the gap with [God's Smell] was still obvious.

In short, it’s better not to return empty-handed, at least I got an advanced talent, and I got comfort in my heart.

By the way, what documents are in the bag Mr. Dojima gave me? Xia Yu finished eating the beef ramen, put down the chopsticks, turned around to find the document bag thrown on the counter, untied the bag, and took out a contract.

His eyes locked on the title of the file, and he subconsciously read out:

Appointment Agreement for Yuanyue Guest Lecturer...

Well.

Blinking his eyes, Xia Yu read the title again, and after confirming that it was correct, he went to read the content of the agreement, This, this, Mr. Dojima gave the wrong file bag, right?

It's the employment agreement. Ryoko Lina, who was seated, suddenly replied.

I'm the high school student... Xia Yu wanted to laugh when he said this. He really didn't pretend to be tender, he was really sixteen years old this year, and he didn't have a trace of moisture.

In the gourmet world, the best comes first.

Liang Zilina said softly, You made that quasi-superior dish tonight, even if Yuanyue didn't hire you through special channels, and let you participate in Yuanyue's mentor competition for the whole society, you can still stand out.

But I didn't say I was going to Yuanyue. Xia Yu was really speechless.

Being a teacher seems pretty good. To tame a group of Yuanyue geniuses and make them obedient, just thinking about it gives a sense of accomplishment. But the problem is, what to do with Xia's Chinese restaurant. Yuanyue's students can control their time freely when they reach the level of the top ten, but the teacher may not.

There is obviously a conflict between being a teacher and running Xia's Chinese restaurant.

If he had to make a choice, the answer in Xia Yu's mind was obvious.

It's not an ordinary lecturer, but a guest lecturer. Please read the agreement carefully. Liang Zilina said.

All right……

Xia Yu grabbed the document, ignored a lot of unnecessary text, and only looked at the marked working hours and work content.

There is only one class a week, and the fixed time is Saturday morning?

Elective courses?

Course content to be determined...

The agreed remuneration is calculated on the basis of each class hour, 200,000 yen per class hour.

His eyes moved to the last page of the document. This page was almost full of signatures and personal seals. Xia Yu looked at it. The signers were Gin Dojima, Senzaemon Nakiri, and Rina Ryoko and Masato Kanbara on the IGO side. .

These people are all Party A of the agreement, and Party B is naturally Xia Yu. The signature and seal are empty. As long as he signs his name and stamps it, this document has legal significance.

What Xia Yu cared about was that he was only a deputy guest lecturer, and there was also a genuine super chef as the main lecturer in this course, and an assistant lecturer arranged by Yuanyue.

What courses require three instructors? Xia Yu asked straight to the point.

Liang Zilina replied: This is an experimental cooperation project between the IGO Neon Department and Yuanyue, aiming to train more preparatory special chefs for the oriental food industry...

Wait— Xia Yu interrupted with a wave of his hand, his eyes widened, You mean the content of the course, which is to train 'preparation' super chefs?!

The word preparation, in his case, is understood as having super potential.

Nodding her head, Ryoko Lina said:

Actually, the course doesn't have specific content, it just needs to be guided. Of course, the focus is on the guidance of 'cooking heart'. After finishing speaking, she glanced at Morita Maki, which meant that it was obvious that potential seeds like Maki belonged to the focus of the course care object.

interesting.

Xia Yu touched his chin.

Anyone who is familiar with the plot of Shiji knows that in the near future, Nakiri Jiji will make a strong return to Totsuki, and even force Nakiri Senzaemon to go down the field, and he himself will ascend the throne of Totsuki's commander-in-chief, and then carry out a drastic elite campaign. Institutional reform.

The water in this world is very deep, and the return of Natsuki Jiji may not be able to cause a storm, but it may also be more violent than the original book. If he decides to become a guest lecturer jointly hired by Yuanyue and the IGO organization, he will definitely not be able to escape Yuanyue's turbulent period, and he will not be able to stay out of it and be a melon-eating crowd.

I'll think about it. Xia Yu said.

Get back to us before school starts in April.

Liangzi Lina got up to leave the store, and when she opened the car door, she seemed to think of something, stopped and turned her head, and said in a serious tone: If you have any results in the research on the improvement of 'Magic Mapo Tofu' using Shuangjiang Tofu, please be sure to let me know as soon as possible !

In exchange, I can share my special recipe with you. Ryoko Lina bowed deeply, The perfect luminous cuisine contains the mystery of 'shiyi', and it may be the key for me to be promoted to Chef Lin, please!

Xia Yu froze, then took a breath.

Top chefs like Dojima Gin and Ryoko Lina are still exploring and improving, and he still has a lot to learn, let alone complacency.

I will study it carefully! Xia Yu replied solemnly, and Liang Zilina, who received the answer, nodded and drove away.

Huh. When answering Liangzi Lina, Xia Yu received a new mission prompt and was a little dazed.

Ayu, I'm going home too. Morita Maki turned around and waved at him, laughing loudly, I want to tell my parents the news that I passed the Yuanyue exam.

The childhood sweetheart trotted away, with brisk steps.

Xia Yu returned to the store, stared at the documents on the counter, rubbed his chin, his eyes gradually became firm.

...

Late at night, Nakiri's house.

The kitchen utensils and charcoal ashes in the courtyard have been cleaned by the servants.

But in the corner of the courtyard, there was also a small oven glowing red hot in the dark.

Huisazi, hurry up, hurry up, the fire is not hot enough! Nakiri Erina hurriedly turned the roast suckling pig on the stove.

Well!

Hisako Niito was shaking the blower when she suddenly smelled a pungent burnt smell. She couldn't help but stop, covered her nose and said, Miss E-Erina, it's burnt!

I know!

God's Tongue said angrily: Damn it, how can you control the fire under such fierce fire?!

Inside the teahouse, Nakiri Senzaemon retracted his gaze and shook his head.

At this time, the mobile phone placed on the tatami suddenly vibrated.

The caller ID was a number from China. Nakiri Senzaemon smiled, and after connecting, he said heartily, Mr. Xia Qing, I have been waiting for your call for a long time.

Your Excellency, is there something urgent? The voice on the other end was tired.

The old couple used respectful names for each other, but the conversation was relaxed.

You should know about glowing dishes, right?

...

There was a long silence on the phone.
