Rebirth as a Cooking God

That night, the kitchen of Xia's branch.

Have you decided?

Masato Kanbara's deep voice came from the phone.

Now you, don't pay attention to the voices from the outside world. This is the critical sprint stage. If you are confused by the voices from the outside world, you will be the one who suffers...

Voices from the outside world? Xia Yu chuckled twice, in a good mood, That woman has publicly spoken out like this. If I don't work hard, how can I live up to his expectations of me.

You want to keep the appointment?

Masato Kanbara's voice became even deeper.

Going to the appointment? You can say that it is night now, and the special examination will be over at noon. After most of the day, there must be a lot of noise outside. Those slanderous media may be taking advantage of the situation to mock me severely.

Xia Yu felt relaxed physically and mentally.

It was difficult for him not to keep the appointment.

Because countless pairs of eyes witnessed Tamagawa Ayaka's shouting, and Xia Yu was very confident that he could pass the special examination. One month or two months later, it would be time to attend the appointment.

Shoji should be during the summer vacation.

The prerequisite for attending the appointment was that he passed the special assessment, so Xia Yu just called Masato Kambara and applied to participate in the next assessment.

Masato Kanhara did not answer, and the phone was silent.

Xia Yu didn't hurry. He held the phone against his ear on his shoulder and used the kitchen knife in his right hand to process the ingredients on the chopping board.

All right!

After a while, Masato Kanhara responded in a deep voice.

I'll ask again, are you sure?

Don't answer hastily, you may not understand the meaning of the first assessment. There is a Chinese idiom, which is to go all out in one go, then weaken again, and then exhaust three times. I manage the eleventh district branch of IGO, and I have a detailed data in my hand.

In the past, those newly promoted special chefs who passed the test for the first and second time accounted for 80%, very close to 90%, and the remaining 10% were those who passed the third assessment and after the third time...

So if you can't be promoted in the first and second assessments, your chances will become smaller and smaller in the future.

Masato Kanhara said seriously.

Xia Yu was slightly stunned. He did not expect that there would be such an outrageous difference in the number of passers between the first and second assessments, and the third and subsequent assessments.

Think a little.

This is due to the chef’s self-confidence. However, as time goes by, the chef’s accumulated knowledge should become deeper and deeper. How can the more accumulated experience, the lower the clearance rate?

There must be a deeper reason, and Xia Yu didn't dwell on it.

I am sure!

Xia Yu replied: Minister Kanhara, please believe me.

Well, your name will be on the next special assessment list, so get ready!

Kanbaru Masato no longer tried to persuade him, he had already said what needed to be said, but the young man insisted on going his own way, so he had to let him go.

It can take as short as one month or as long as two months, and at least 6 assessors can be present. Note that what you are applying for is an open assessment, so be sure to prepare well! This is related to your reputation and resume as a chef!

Before hanging up, the manager gave another worried warning.

Thanks!

Xia Yu said softly, listening to the beeping busy tone from the phone, then opened the address book, found the number of Naoto Chiyo, the principal of Baiou High School, and dialed it.

A long leave? Okay, okay, I understand, don't worry!

But the final exam...

I'll join in!

beep.

After hanging up the phone again, Xia Yu took a long breath.

I also signed up for the special examination.

I also asked for leave, and once I ask for leave, it may not be until the end of the semester.

Not much to say, in the next month, he will sprint towards the special field!

Fantasy ingredients! Buy, buy, buy!

Because of his status as a 'special candidate', Xia Yu was able to contact IGO's ingredient store in advance.

Go to IGO's online fantasy food store and buy a few kilograms of each of the fantasy food items that are on sale this time. As a result, the funds in Xia Yu's bank account are shrinking sharply, and all the wealth that the branch has been operating for nearly a month has been wiped out. He used it to buy ingredients.

…

IGO Neon Headquarters.

Putting down the phone, Masato Kanhara sighed.

Still too young.

Kanbaru Masato said to himself worriedly, You should prepare well for a year or two, that way you have a higher chance of passing.

You were provoked and eager to prove it?

Thinking of Tamagawa Ayaka shouting from a distance in front of the live broadcast camera today, Kanbaru Masato shook his head.

Now that he has agreed, there is no room for reversal in this matter. According to Masato Kanbara's idea, it doesn't matter if the boy fails the first assessment, it will just blunt his spirit and polish it again.

For this reason, Masato Kanhara agreed to Xia Yu's assessment application.

Click!

Pulling the drawer and taking out a blank form, Masato Kambara took out a pen and filled in the registration information for Xia Yu himself.

The matter of Tamagawa Ayaka shouting to the 'youngest super celebrity chef in the history of Neon Territory' spread throughout the Neon food world in just half a day. No one expected that the much-anticipated special examination would actually happen. Such a thing happened.

The vast majority of the audience who watch a big show often enjoy the melon. At this moment, the Internet is full of discussions about this matter.

Miss Tamagawa is the most talented chef of this generation!

Yes, although Taste Weekly gave the young genius high praise, but as Ms. Tamagawa said, there are too many geniuses who have been praised throughout the history, and there are also many examples of losers like Nakajima Kiyoshi. .”

Will you become a super celebrity chef in ten years? I think it will be difficult...

On the Internet, the voices are almost one-sided.

Tamagawa Ayaka is too strong.

She can be said to be the future version of Erina Nakiri.

Ten years later, Nakiri Erina, who possesses the 'God's Tongue', is approaching twenty-six years old, but no one dares to say whether she will achieve similar achievements to Tamagawa Ayaka in the future, or surpass Tamagawa Ayaka.

ha--

At the Gourmet Food Review magazine, Kenichiro Shiraishi, who had been depressed for two weeks, finally slapped the table and laughed. The laughter was so hearty that he almost breathed out bad breath.

This time you hit the iron plate! I call you crazy!

After a while, Shiraishi Kenichiro stopped laughing.

His eyes were fixed on the screen, and his fingers moved on the keyboard, leaving only an afterimage.

At this moment, I am flooded with thoughts, and I have the headline article for the next issue.

In the Name of Genius...

At the beginning, she praised Tamagawa Ayaka lavishly. After all, her performance in the special examination was obvious to all. The dish that incorporated two fantasy ingredients and the recipe created on the spot had a faint hint of must kill, which attracted the admiration of three heavyweight reviewers. .

However, compared to the mysterious Xia Yu who has been in the hot news recently, his performance is indeed difficult to convince the public.

Conquer the public with Frostfall Magical Mapo Tofu?

To the uninitiated, it looks lively.

…

The next day.

Xia Yu was studying unfamiliar ingredients in the kitchen when he was woken up by Erina Nakiri.

Today is Sunday, it's still early, and Erina Nakiri didn't go back to Totsuki. She spent the whole night reading comments on the Internet, tossing and turning, and had dark circles under her eyes when she woke up.

What's wrong?

Looking at Erina opposite the kitchen counter, Xia Yu frowned and raised his head.

A guest is coming...

guest?

Xia Yu waved his hand and said, We will not accept customers until the evening business hours.

It's Mas and Miss Elizabeth. Erina said.

The kitchen knife that was about to cut off paused slightly, and Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, Take them to private room No. 1.

Distinguished guests naturally have another way of entertaining them.

Speaking of which, Mas, the giant of the 'Gourmet Club', has been walking in the shopping street recently, talking about something, and he doesn't know what he is doing.

Therefore, Mas became a frequent visitor to Xia's branch, mostly during the day, and he was very generous with his purchases, often giving checkout figures of hundreds of millions of yen. Xia Yu had no need to turn away a rich man.
