Rebirth as a Cooking God

Before the game.

It is approaching the end of October, which means that the 43rd Autumn Selection has ended and one month has passed. During this period, except for Erina Nakiri who went to Sapporo with the group to participate in the Legendary Kitchenware Competition, the rest of the first-year students Freshmen all participated in new topics——

Field training.

Perhaps it is the will of the world that affects the growth of Yukihira Souma. The second stop for the Shoumagi original pig's trotters field training is still the SHINO'S branch in Tokyo opened by Shinomiya Kojiro. However, the location of this branch has changed. Opened in Xia's Shopping Street, which was officially put into operation after renovation, Shinomiya Kojiro rented a street-facing store at a lower rent and completed the renovation.

Today is the last day for the trial opening of SHINO’S branch.

Well--

Yawning, Yukihira Soma was cleaning the inside and outside of the shop, but he didn't see any customers. The whole restaurant was empty, and his own yawn echoed clearly.

Mr. Abel!

Seeing a man wearing a chef's uniform coming out of the back kitchen, Soma Yukihira raised his hand to say hello.

Abel paused slightly and pointed to the open door of the restaurant, Xingping, please close the door. We are closed today.

ah?

Yukihira Soma didn't know why.

Today is the first game of the semi-finals of the Sapporo Tournament! Abel said amusedly, That's why there are no customers today. Go check out other restaurants in the shopping street.

Semi-finals knockout?! Xing Ping Soma was shocked, Patou finally reacted, and quickly closed the glass door of the restaurant. At the same time, he did not forget to cast a glance at Xia's main store and Xia's branch deep in the block, and saw The doors of the two restaurants are also closed, and not only Xia's Restaurant, but also Morita Pastry House and several restaurants that have opened one after another are closed.

After realizing it later, Yukihira Soma was very upset. How could he forget such a high-profile event?

It’s all my fault that I stayed up all night thinking about a plan to improve the recipe, and then fell asleep in the morning!

Thump thump thump…

After closing the door, he chased after Abel and went to the second floor of the restaurant.

The second floor is a special high-end dining area with a TV at the bar. Souma Yukihira came up and discovered that not only Shinomiya Kojiro, but also other familiar Totsuki graduates, Seki Shouhei, Mizuhara Fuyumi, Miki Hinatako, and Donato Wutongda. Waiting for someone, sitting at the bar and chatting and laughing quietly.

Hearing the sound, several people glanced over.

Oh, Yukihira, you're here - Wutongtian greeted.

Xingping Soma found an empty chair and sat down, panting slightly: It hasn't started yet, has it?

It starts on time at 10 o'clock, there are still 10 minutes left...

The TV screen was a news broadcast room set up by the official event. A well-known male host was in the center. On the left and right sides, there were two professional chefs who were invited to comment and predict the event.

Of course, these four professional chefs were all familiar faces. Soma Kohei glanced over and said dumbfounded: What does this mean?!

On the right hand side of the male host were Xia Yu's opponents in the top 16 and top 8: Bernard and Tang Yuqiong.

This is Xia Yu's loser lineup.

On the left hand side, is Mas’ loser lineup:

A Nordic guy with big braids.

A middle-aged woman from Egypt wearing a traditional white gauze dress and silk headscarf.

These two loser commentary teams have distinct age groups. Just like the first round of the District A semifinals, it was a duel between teenagers and middle-aged people.

There is no doubt that comments are meant to fan the flames before the game and increase the effectiveness of the program.

The male host asked with a smile:

Chef Bernard, we know that you are a special member of the French Academy team, and you lost to Xia Yu in the knockout round of 16 to 8. Now the Yuanyue team will challenge the Orlando team in the semi-finals of the top four. The competition venue has been The exact matchup table has been sent. In the first round, player Xia Yu will face player Maas... Do you think player Xia Yu can maintain his winning streak and win the first victory for the Yuanyue team?

The last half sentence is the key point.

Bernard had a sullen face when he was named. Anyone would be unhappy if his scars were revealed. He was very reserved and didn't show it. He said calmly: I think he will still maintain his winning streak.

oh?

The male host raised his eyebrows with a hint of amusement in his eyes, Then you know that his opponent, Mas, is the vice president of Orlando College? He is a recognized giant in the American food industry.

I know. Bernard remained unmoved and insisted on his point of view, No matter who the opponent is, I think he will win!

At this moment, a group of Yueyue graduates who were watching TV burst into laughter.

Instructor Xia is still very powerful. Even my defeated opponents were impressed by his radiant light!

Miki Hinatako held the star eyes tightly with both hands.

Yukihira Souma scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

On TV, even Tang Yuqiong looked at Bernard in surprise.

Ahem!

The male host smiled broadly, looked at Tang Yuqiong, and asked, So, Chef Tang Yuqiong, what's your opinion?

I have nothing to say. Tang Yuqiong said deeply while looking at the camera, Everyone knows that the 'Tang's Reincarnation Spring Roll' dish I presented in the 8-to-4 knockout round, right? The reason why I specially added that secret sauce , is to add a layer of personal attributes to the dishes that cannot be copied. Don’t forget that he can copy and improve recipes on the spot. If you underestimate him, you will definitely lose miserably!

After being reminded, the male host's smile froze slightly.

I am afraid that many viewers suddenly remembered Xia Yu's first stunning debut.

So, Chef Andrew, Chef Cornis, what do you think? The male host looked at the loser team of Mas on the left side.

A big Nordic man with braids and a Danish royal ancestry said with a serious face: Mas can't lose.

The beautiful Egyptian chef wearing a white gauze skirt and silk headscarf also nodded:

I don't deny Xia Yu's talent, but since he is young, I'm afraid he hasn't competed against chefs with special skills. Masta...

The Egyptian female chef paused for a moment, as if she was concerned about Mas's identity and did not want to explicitly say that Mas was a 'dark chef'. She just hinted deeply with her eyes: Once he is serious, there is no possibility of losing.

Besides, I also hope he can become serious. The female chef sighed, I hope contestant Xia Yu can force him to cook his forbidden dishes!

The two losing teams have their own opinions.

Forbidden dishes?

Yukihira Soma muttered.

Forbidden dishes, the main ingredient is... forbidden ingredients!

Shinomiya Kojiro, who had passed the special examination, looked away from the TV and said solemnly: The so-called taboo ingredients are ingredients that are prohibited from being used in restaurants, hotels and other places that are open to the public. Of course, this is just one layer of explanation. Most shokujuku and competitions There will be express regulations prohibiting the unauthorized use of forbidden ingredients, but this international hegemony competition is different, there are not many rules and regulations.

So Shinomiya-senpai, what do you think of the first round of the showdown? Yukihira Souma was curious.

Ah!

Shinomiya Kojiro shook his head, Actually, I prefer Mas to win and Professor Xia to lose.

Xingping Soma was silent, and the other graduates also looked at each other speechlessly.

If Mas comes up with forbidden dishes, can you beat it?

At the same time, in the rest hall backstage, Zhu Qing, Dojima Gin, and Saiba Joichiro surrounded the young chef who was about to appear.

Xia Yu just put down her phone.

The staff informed that the various ingredients he prepared had passed the warehouse inspection and could be used at any time after confirming the topic on stage.

That would be better, a battle of taboo dishes!

Xia Yu stretched and stood up, picked up the kitchen utensil box placed next to the single sofa, and left everyone in Yuanyue with a relaxed and carefree back view.

This boy!

Zhu Qing wrinkled her nose and showed her teeth, and said dissatisfiedly: Huh, you look old and confident. If you lose, come down and see if I don't get fat and beat you up...

Miss Zhu, you'd better pray that he doesn't lose.

Gin Dojima smiled heartily and said: No. 1 vs. No. 1, No. 2 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 3... In such a matchup arrangement, the outcome of each position is crucial. If he loses, our team's The winning rate will drop again and again!”

I won't take the blame for this. Zhu Qing yawned, He was the one who forced himself to take the lead.

A group of people were speechless.

…

Da da da.

Footsteps echoed in the silent passage.

Xia Yu's steps suddenly stopped.

You came.

Mas had been waiting at the exit of the passage for a long time. The giant also carried a box in his hand. He turned around slowly and looked at Xia Yu's face carefully under the light of the passage. He felt familiar, Speaking of which, I haven't been to your Xia Yu for several months. Ordered at the restaurant.

Mr. Mas, you are a big patron. Xia's restaurant welcomes you at any time! Xia Yu chuckled.

Well, Mr. Mas, let's talk about something...

Xia Yu blinked and said tentatively: Can I throw darts and choose the topic later?

Hearing this, Mas was stunned for a while, and then said with a deep look: Chef Xia, I'm sorry, I don't think you are an easy opponent to defeat, so I have to be cautious and pay attention to every step.

Let's leave it to Miss Chiyo to choose the topic!

Having said that, this big customer who Xia Yu once looked up to and who had to be treated with caution stepped out of the aisle and onto the stage.

call--

Watching Mas go on stage, Xia Yu exhaled helplessly, but there was not much regret on his face.

In fact, let him throw darts to choose a topic. With his [Super Vision] and [Dialysis Eye], as well as the quick eyesight and hand speed of the Chinese martial arts, it shouldn't be too easy to hit the topic you want in one blow.

But obviously others are not fools. After so many days of competition, the contestants have handed over the topic selection process to Chiyo Aichi, which is enough to know that everyone is on guard.

But...victory is still mine!

Raising his head slightly, letting the familiar venue lights shine on his face, Xia Yu carried the kitchen utensil box and felt a rush of blood, like the one he had with Tamagawa Ayaka, flowing from his heart to his whole body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when I stepped onto the stage, I seemed to be responding to the owner. Several ‘Seven-Star Swords’ in the box and even the ‘Soul-Suppressing Stick’ were vibrating slightly, and excited shouts were heard.

Welcome contestant Xia Yu——

When he stood still at the kitchen counter, Chiyo Aichi shouted, and the super large arena where tens of thousands of people were seated erupted in endless screams.

Familiar stage environment!

His eyes swept across Mas across the way, and then there were familiar faces in the guest seats. Xia Yu's eyes paused on a black middle-aged man: Wait for me -

I'm waiting for your challenge!

The two similar cold gazes collided in the air.

I was so busy with work today that I couldn't spare the time to write, and I was even more in need of the cute protagonist 2 of my classmate from Tian Ren Xian Xian.
