Rebirth as a Cooking God

A sleepless night.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep...

Early in the morning, the alarm clock rings.

The woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling of the Japanese style house, and then looked sideways at the window illuminated by the sun.

Mornings in midsummer always come so quickly. As soon as Tamagawa Ayaka sat up from the bed, two maids outside the door heard the noise and knocked on the door.

at the same time.

Shopping Street.

Morita Pastry House.

Ayu, Ayu...

Morita Maki, who was washed and dressed, knocked on the guest room door.

After no one responded for a long time, Morita's mother poked her head out from the kitchen and said with a smile: Maki, Ayu has been up early, you go to Xia's main store and have a look.

With that said, Morita's mother watched her daughter trot out the door with a smile in her eyes.

Xia Yu is not in the main store, but in a branch.

When Maki Morita found him out of breath, he was in the spacious courtyard of the branch, moving and still, doing Tai Chi for the elderly.

Although the posture looked like an old man's boxing technique, Xia Yu practiced very focused, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Sometimes the fingers are combined like eagle claws, like an eagle pounces on food.

Sometimes it looks like a tiger coming down the mountain with its claws showing, full of momentum.

call--

Throw out a powerful punch.

Morita Maki's mouth opened slightly, and it was not an illusion. When Xia Yu punched, a bunch of flowers and plants in front of her swayed violently, as if being swept by a hurricane, and the reaction was too strong.

Take the effort and exhale.

Xia Yu didn't wipe the sweat from his forehead. He looked at Morita Maki. The little girl was immediately attracted by his shining black eyes.

Come on, Maki, let's have breakfast together! Xia Yu called Qingmei into the kitchen, and after a while, he brought out two bowls of traditional Chinese snacks with a rich bean flavor.

It's tofu nao.

Morita Maki stared at the frosty tofu with beautiful snowflake texture in the bowl and asked in surprise: Is this tofu made from frosty tofu?

It should be said that I grind fantasy soybeans myself and make them with soy milk.

Xia Yu smiled and corrected his childhood sweetheart's mistake.

The two of them took the bowls to the branch lobby. Xia Yu turned on the motor in the lobby while eating.

Morning food news.

The picture actually showed the interior of a classical venue.

The camera turned left and right and locked on the center stage, where two diagonally arranged kitchen tables had been set up.

The stage is large enough, with two sets of professional kitchen utensils and equipment on display, and there are still many empty seats.

The female host’s excited voice came out:

...This is the landmark building of Totsuki Cuisine Academy. In the past, only the Shijie Shokugeki could open the super large venue - Tsutsuki Tenma!

It is reported that there are three candidate targets for the Shokuki venue this time, namely the special venue of the IGO Neon Club, Totsuki Academy's Tsukitenma, and the mysterious Rinkaku of Shoulin Temple!

But in the end Totsuki won the election!

In fact, Yuanyue got a big deal this time.

For such a high-profile event, the venue selection started almost from the night when the special examination ended, and went on until the end of the month, and it was not until yesterday that the final decision was made.

The Tamagawa family, as well as Tamagawa Ayaka herself, strongly objected to Shokugeki being held at the IGO venue.

The Lin Pavilion of Shirin Temple was protested by the IGO Neon Department and Totsuki Kata. After all, Tamagawa Ayaka was born in Shoulinji Temple.

As a result, the two sides engaged in various quarrels, competitions, and compromises, leading to a situation where things were lost between the moon and the sky.

Change the channel!

Xia Yu listened to the female host introducing the inside story of the competition for the venue, her eyebrows twitched, and she clicked on the remote control.

The next program turned into an interview.

The host asked two super experts. Xia Yu also knew these two experts, namely the 'King of Losers' Nakajima Kiyoshi and the 'Curry Queen' Kamijou Asami.

What do you think of the two newly promoted special chefs about the food show that will open at 6 o'clock tonight? the male host asked, For example, who do you think you are more optimistic about?

Nakajima Kiyoshi and Kamijou Asami looked at each other.

Let me tell you!

Kamijou Asami, who has a fiery personality, said unceremoniously: This Shogun fight was unfair from the beginning. Chef Xia must be the loser.

After ten years of accumulation, is the difference only ten years?

Asami Kamijou looked at the camera and spoke with unabashed admiration for Tamagawa Ayaka.

Actually, Miss Tamagawa, a long time ago, even a few years before she officially passed the special examination, she had her own must-kill recipe. The old abbot of Shirin Temple was very satisfied with this disciple.

The host did not expect Kamijou Asami to be so disrespectful to Xia Yu. After being slightly surprised, he smiled bitterly and said: So, Chef Kamijou, in your opinion, Chef Xia doesn't have a 10% winning rate?

Kamijou Asami shook her head and did not answer directly.

If he accumulates two or three more years after passing the special examination, the winning rate will be more than 10%. Kamijou Asami said with regret, What I hope to see is an extremely exciting Shokugeki match with equal strength between the two sides, and This is not an unbalanced battle with a predictable outcome before the game.

The host then looked at the ‘King of Losers’ Nakajima Kiyoshi.

Chef Nakajima...

Nakajima Kiyoshi said helplessly: Actually, I generally agree with Chef Kamijou's point of view. This meal was too sudden and too hasty.

Then, he changed his tone and smiled at the camera:

However, losing is not necessarily a bad thing for Chef Xia. I hope that after this failure, he can settle down and spend two or three years creating his own must-have recipe, and then go back to challenge Miss Tamagawa.

Snapped!

The remote control in Xia Yu's hand was taken away.

Morita Maki grabbed the remote control, turned off the TV, frowned and said to him: Don't watch TV! Don't be affected by the sounds from the outside world!

Influence? Xia Yuzheng was listening to the comments of acquaintances with great interest. Unexpectedly, the TV screen went black.

He pointed at his face.

Maki, do you think I'm affected? He chuckled twice.

I just want to see how many people didn't think highly of me before the game! Xia Yu said patiently, and then sighed, I have to say, the 'power' exerted on me by that woman Ayaka Tamagawa is really powerful!

When the TV was turned off, he lost his mood, ate the tofu puffs, patted his butt and went to the branch kitchen to continue working on the last piece of the puzzle for his must-have recipe.

The sauce has already been revealed!

There was still daylight left, and Xia Yu felt a sense of urgency in his heart!

The final bell!

…

noon.

Haneda International Airport.

Three foreign tourists arrived quietly in Neon territory without attracting any onlookers.

This is the observation group of the Hong Kong Chefs Alliance.

The team leader Guan Xingchen is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character and a stern expression. He is wearing a crisp suit. The two people next to him are a man and a woman, both in their twenties. They have the arrogance and confidence of a genius in their brows. They are not ordinary chefs.

Father, do you think the target of our observation this time is so amazing? A sixteen-year-old super chef! asked a woman with a clean and refreshing ponytail. Her name is Guan He.

Guan Xingchen said with a faint smile: This is a task assigned by the superiors.

As far as I'm concerned, he's just a parallel importer...

The accompanying young man Guan Yi curled his lips in disdain.

Soon, the three of them stopped in front of the big screen at the airport exit.

Tonight's shokuji news was playing on the screen, attracting many passengers at the airport to watch. There were quite a few foreigners, and they were everywhere whispering in Mandarin and English.

Tamagawa Ayaka was interviewed in the main kitchen.

The person interviewing her was Chiyo Aichi. This was obviously an official publicity before the launch of Shokugeki.

“You can’t lose with the ‘must-have’ dishes. Facing the camera, the female chef with a bohemian goddess style said calmly, If you lose, you will lose to a must-have dish...

There was a hint of hidden sarcasm in her eyes.

Her words were very crude, and anyone could hear her declaration——

She has mastered the sure kill and will never lose!

The must kill dish!

Guan He and the young man looked at each other and had to admit that if it were them, they probably wouldn't have the confidence to step onto the Shiji stage.

Even Guan Xingchen, who is nicknamed the ‘King of Cantonese Cuisine’, can’t help but show some fear.

Chef Lin has to work hard to win against the special must-kill dishes.

Must it be defeated?

Guan Xingchen then stared at the screen. At this time, the screen switched to a shopping street, where a young chef accepted an official interview at the store door.

The interviewer is Yuki Watanabe.

It seems that the official sent two teams to conduct interviews with both parties at the same time.

In response to many questions from Yuki Watanabe, the young man just smiled slightly.

I think I won't lose...

Such a concise sentence caused an uproar in the airport lobby.

Guan He covered his mouth and looked at the confident young man in the camera.

Guan Xingchen's eyes showed interest.

The young man accompanying him kept sarcastic, Huh? You won't lose? Even if I'm against a must-kill recipe, I'd be afraid of it. Where does he get the confidence to win? It’s really unbelievable!
