Rebirth as a Cooking God

The Demon King's Test.

Content: Lin? You seem to be on the threshold. You have walked over, but have not crossed over, but this does not prevent you from restoring the Demon King's recipe and gaining Senzaemon's approval.

Please serve the work approved by the Demon King within 2 hours. If you fail, you will be randomly punished (hunger, loss of taste, loss of touch, etc.). The punishment will last for one natural month.

punish!

Xia Yu was stunned and said, What's going on?

Under the current learning progress, this system determines that the host can master a Lin-level recipe immediately with a high probability. Pay attention to learning with props. The system responded mechanically.

So if I don't keep up, I will be punished?

He couldn't describe what he felt, it was weird.

It seemed that the system was like a strict teacher, and what was even more terrifying was that this strict teacher was monitoring his learning at all times.

Punishment or something, no problem! But what about rewards? Xia Yu rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

Random punishments, negative states such as hunger, loss of taste, and loss of touch are chilling to think about.

There was a cold epidemic in Sapporo.

Xia Yu never wanted to experience the runny nose and heart congestion again.

Ding!

A prop information panel popped up in his field of vision, but it was something Xia Yu had never seen before.

[Purification Stone] (gold): It can be used to purify kitchen utensils of gold quality and above. It has a significant effect on gold kitchen utensils, but the effect is relatively weak on kitchen utensils of gold quality and above (legend).

A piece of black stone!

Clean, purify?

Xia Yu's eyes widened: Can't this thing be used to purify the Jade Dragon Pot?

He has not forgotten the contaminated Jade Dragon Pot in the water tank at home.

The mysterious meteorite left behind by the old man has a purifying effect, but it does not purify immediately. It takes time. According to the progress prompt given by the system last time, it will take about half a year to a year.

Yes, 1 stone can increase the purification progress by 33.3%. It is expected that 3 [Purification Stones] will be needed to complete the purification of the Jade Dragon Pot. The system replied.

Snapped!

I couldn't help but squeeze my fists and hammer my palms.

Xia Yu did not forget the agreement with the old man.

Lin level, soon!

And now, we have found a tool that can quickly purify the Jade Dragon Pot. Doesn't that mean that the day of returning to China to survey the mysterious Chinese food world is coming soon?

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

Try to go back to China to celebrate the Lunar New Year! Xia Yu thought.

It's December now, and the Lunar New Year is around February of next year, so it's almost here.

…

A group of people from the Nakiri family couldn't help but look at each other in confusion when they saw Xia Yu's expression changing.

long time.

Alice tentatively shouted: Lecturer?

Um?

Xia Yu calmed down.

Is it okay? Alice asked.

Erina bit her lip and said, It doesn't matter if you can't do it. I, I'm not very hungry.

Alice touched her belly under the cotton-padded coat, with a hint of slyness in her eyes, I'm not very hungry, but I really, really want to eat! I just want to eat the lecturer's ramen!

She repeated her words to express her enthusiasm.

Erina's face stiffened.

okay!

Afraid that the two of them would taunt each other again, Xia Yu was now concerned about whether he could get the mission reward. He was upset and had no patience to listen to the two sisters bickering.

2 hours!

Xia Yu turned his head and asked Commander Yuanyue at the tea table, Can you wait?

Senzaemon nodded.

That is, I stayed up until 3 o'clock in the evening. In order to study molecular gastronomy, I used to stay up until dawn. It's nothing! Alice started talking again, but Erina was about to speak, but she blocked her and her expression became even worse. .

Nakiri Munue and Leonora looked at each other.

To be honest, I'm quite interested. The key is not the food, but your live cooking performance. Nakiri Munue said with a smile, I also learned this recipe.

oh?

Don't look so surprised. I am also a chef, but my cooking skills are not very suitable for this recipe, so I have learned it, but I can't say that I have mastered it.

Nakiri Munue lowered his head slightly and pushed up the frames of his glasses to hide the loneliness in his eyes.

As the true eldest son of the Nakiri lineage and the descendant of the 'Demon King of Food', his talent for cooking is not outstanding.

At least, he has no obvious talent in conventional cooking.

Therefore, Nakiri Souei traveled across the ocean to Denmark and went to the IGO headquarters, where he was exposed to the latest molecular food theory as a culinary researcher. From the establishment of a scientific research institution like Nakiri International, he walked a completely different path from his old father. Different culinary paths.

come on!

Nakiri Munue gave him an encouragement with a look of enthusiasm that Xia Yu couldn't understand.

Make it!

I will!

Xia Yu didn't think too much about the reason for Nakiri Souei's expectations. At this time, his mind was filled with the stone prop that could improve the progress of purification!

Must get it!

spell!

Walking towards the large kitchen room, Xia Yu opened the inventory as he walked: Use [Epiphany Crystal]!

There is no need to hold on to this prop. After completing the task, the golden props can be exchanged for one. Moreover, you can also master a mysterious recipe immediately and make sure you make money.

The current recipe that can be used is Demon King's Ramen. Are you sure you want to use it?

use!

As a result, the recipe text that was collected by the system was shattered into pieces in my memory at this moment.

After a few seconds, the turbulent flow of words gathered in my mind again, forming sentences and paragraphs, but they were systematically extracted and organized. Xia Yu stopped in front of the kitchen counter, extracted a certain row of information, and murmured:

It turns out that blue star algae is a central part of this recipe!

If the soul of neon ramen is the soup base, then blue star algae is the most important soul core of this recipe, and all the ingredients are built around it!

The recipe structure that was originally incomprehensible suddenly became transparent and easy to understand.

That feeling can be described simply——

It’s like he was the original creator of the recipe!

Ding, you have successfully mastered Demon King's Ramen (gold).

The Demon King's Ramen (recipe): A mysterious recipe derived from Chinese ramen and Japanese ramen. The system initially determined that the grade is Golden Lin level, but the recipe seems to have the imprint of more than one chef, and it seems to be a joint creation.

The recipe text itself has nothing to say.

Just like those ancient recipes that once glorified history, when it reaches the Golden Lin level, the core of Wangdao Shiyi's recipes is not the raw material.

Those fantasy ingredients are all dim under the spiritual core of the recipe.

Food integrity is the key!

Food Yi...

Xia Yu frowned.

The difficulty lies in this. Unlike those ancient recipes, he does not understand the original work, and has never eaten The Demon King's Ramen. The so-called food meaning can only rely on his own imagination to guess.

When I thought about this, I couldn't help but look sideways at the outer room separated by a layer of closed glass.

Nakiri Senzaemon was there calmly drinking tea.

Suddenly, Xia Yu's eyebrows relaxed.

I understand!

A cookbook, in the hands of different Lin chefs, can have thousands of different spiritual forms!

I need to carve my own mark on the work!

After figuring this out, Xia Yu suddenly understood why Senzaemon, the old man, asked for such a late night snack of ramen.

It was nothing more than the unfolding of the story of opening a shop tonight. Xiashi-ryu Tofu Trio scared Senzaemon, so he asked such a question with the intention of researching and confirming.

Open the [Heart of Cooking] talent, invest the 2 talent points previously used to improve the cooking level, and the progress bar becomes 57/100.

Seeing this, Xia Yu's eyes glowed with confidence.

no problem!
