[Comprehensive] The queen becomes a pair

"Hello, Chef Qianyun. I'm Mishiro Harumi, the third member of the Totsuki Ten Elites, and I'm also the operation committee member of this year's selection competition. Today I'm here to inform you about some matters about the autumn selection preliminaries."

The autumn selection of the grand event held in Yuanyue was organized by the ten outstanding members alone, and the task of notifying each examiner would naturally be completed by members of the ten outstanding.Mishiro Harumi glanced at the woman in front of her, and the chef who suddenly appeared became the brightest new star in the culinary world at an astonishing speed.

"After forty days, Chef Qian Yun will be the reviewer for Group A qualifiers. He needs to score the cooking of 26 students. There are five reviewers in total. The upper limit of each person's score is [-] points. Please You don't need to worry about the level of the students, you can just score according to your own evaluation. You need to eliminate [-] students. If there are more than four remaining students in the end, that is, there is a situation of the same score, and the reviewer will also need to decide which one The students' cooking can be entered into the next competition... that's about it, do you have any questions?"

After thinking for a moment, Qian Yun asked, "Even if it's zero?"

Have you ever tasted any dish and feel that you will score zero?Harumi Mishiro lowered her head slightly, hiding the surprised expression on her face: "Of course, as long as you feel that a certain student's cooking is only worth zero points according to your standards, we won't have any objections."

In the next few days, Qianyun was also notified of the theme of another competition, a dish mainly made of meat. This range surprised Qianyun. She thought the range would be smaller, but she did not expect it to be so wide.However, the seemingly loose conditions may actually restrict the students' ability to perform.

...Ahhh, thinking about it this way, it's a pity to give up the opportunity to open a restaurant in a gourmet shrine because of things here!Why is the time on both sides so small.

Time moved forward silently, and soon, Qianyun had no chance to repent.Counting the time, in the era of gourmet food, the time to open a shop at the gourmet shrine has passed, and it is estimated that the lucky 777 shops in the next month have been selected by lottery.

But in this way, Qianyun settled down instead. In addition to practicing food righteousness every day and working as a chef in a hotel, she also spared some more time to continue wandering around large and small restaurants throughout the country.

However, her purpose has undergone a huge change. If it is said that before Qianyun only wanted to improve her gourmet cells and then go home, she almost never seriously experienced the joy of food entrance in this world, and even rejected food that could not provide her with energy. .But now it is different, she carefully tasted the different dishes of each restaurant, and found her happiest moment again.

When it comes to restaurants, I have to say the small restaurant that I am most concerned about.

Xingping Ding Restaurant.

"Welcome - Sister Qianyun! Dad, it's Sister Qianyun!"

The bustling boss, Xing Heijo Ichiro, said hello: "Qianyun, long time no see, just find a place to sit down. Chuangzhen, stop dawdling, fried rice is ready!"

Still as busy as ever: "I want a fried rice too." Qianyun patted Chuangzhen on the shoulder and said, not minding a little extra workload for them.

Chef is a job where you can't complain about the workload.

"That, sister Qianyun..."

When Xing Ping Chuangzhen delivered Qianyun's dishes, he suddenly whispered in Qianyun's ear, "Can I trouble you later? I want to ask about the dishes."

"Of course." After Qian Yun agreed, Xing Ping Chuangzhen immediately thanked her happily, and continued: "Ah, don't tell Dad about this."

Questions about cooking?

It's not because he wants to know the secrets of defeating his father. Although he doesn't know how long the child has grown during his absence, even if he is growing at the speed of a rocket, the distance can defeat him. Mr. Xinghei Joichiro... For Xinghei Soma, this is absolutely a fantasy.

"Huh—I'm sorry, I asked you to help me in the end."

Koichiro Xinghei untied his apron and put it aside: "After the holiday, the students who usually come here to eat after school now come here no matter in the morning or at noon or evening, and earn a lot of money, but sometimes they are really too busy Ah, the only person in the store who can help is that useless little devil."

When he came to the store, Qian Yun looked at the father and son who were almost overwhelmed, and Qian Yun was embarrassed to watch. After finishing his portion of food, he rolled up his sleeves to help.

"Bastard father! Who is a useless brat!?"

Xingping Chuangzhen, who was washing the dishes, raised the plate in his hand to protest angrily: "You wait, one day I will completely defeat you!"

"Okay, I'm waiting. But to be honest, I'm bored even after winning nearly two hundred cooking duels in a row."

"It's not as exaggerated as two hundred times, it's just 120 times!"

"Oh, I'm bored after winning 120 times."

Facing his careless father, Xing Ping Chuangzhen really didn't know where to send his anger. In the end, he could only grin his teeth and turn his head, holding the plate in his hand like his father and using all his strength to hold the steel wool ball to death scrubbing.

"Ah...the beer is gone, I'll go out and buy some, Chuangzhen, I'll leave the plate to you." Not caring about his son's anger at all, Xing Heijo Ichiro opened the refrigerator, but couldn't find what he wanted, and simply said to Chuangzhen: "Work hard."

When he walked up to Qianyun, Xinghei Shiroichiro pointed at Soma without a trace, and said in a lower voice than when Xinghei Soma asked Qianyun: "The kid will trouble Qianyun, please ask another day." You eat."

It turned out that Xing Ping Chuangzhen was seen talking to her, so now when he goes out, he just finds an excuse so that Xing Ping Chuangzhen can come and ask him about cooking?

When Xing Heijo Ichiro finally left here, Qian Yun looked at Xing Hei Soma who couldn't wait to put down the work in his hands and rushed over with a small notebook. He asked himself very seriously: "Well, I was actually killed by my father. Asked to develop new dishes in the store, I have some ideas and tried some, but..."

"Although I have an idea, but I don't have any more details?" Qian Yun asked after his words, and suddenly laughed when he said it. Was he entrusted to develop a new dish?This is a matter that concerns the entire store. Should I say that Kohei Joichiro believes in his son, or that that terrible adult knows how to bully his son.

Xing Pingchuang looked at Qianyun in puzzlement: "I am not lying, and this is not the first time!"

"Oh, so when was your first time?"

"last year!"

Last year... I was still a primary school student!Asking an elementary school student to develop new dishes, will the child really not feel too much pressure?

"I'm not laughing at this... Back to the point, what do you want to ask?" Qian Yun straightened his face, and asked Xingping Chuangzhen seriously.

Xing Ping's real problem is not a lack of imagination.He happened to be at the most imaginative stage, according to the cooking method he said, the taste of this dish is absolutely no problem, even if there are some deficiencies, his father will bring it up later, this is not Qianyun's business.

But when the complete dish was displayed in front of her eyes, Qian Yun understood why Xing Ping Chuangzhen came to her specially.

Spicy pancakes with perilla and shiitake mushrooms. After repeated experiments and considerations, Xinghei made this heart dish.

Diced perilla leaves, shiitake mushrooms, and bell peppers, then coated with egg wash and flour and fried, and finally garnished with chili sauce and soybean paste, this simple dish is complete.

"I always feel that I can't do it. I showed my dad the recipe before, and my dad said that this dish can't be placed in the store, but I can't figure out what's wrong. The ratio of ingredients is fine, and the seasoning is also careful. Thought about it, but..."

Xing Ping Chuangzhen also seemed very distressed: "Is the taste too simple?"

Qian Yun shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with this dish itself, but... you have to try to follow Mr. Xinghei Joichiro's thinking, why this dish can't be placed in this restaurant, if it is placed What will happen next on the menu in the restaurant."

It's not too serious a problem, Qian Yun thought to himself.

Xing Ping Chuangzhen thought about it for a long time, and finally seemed to have figured something out, ran to the kitchen, stepped on a small stool and started to try cooking again.

Qian Yun walked to the door and opened the wooden door inside the store, and sure enough, he saw Joichiro Kohei outside.

"I've been waiting at the door, how about going in and giving him some advice?" Qian Yun also stood at the door and talked to him: "You are really strange, besides you, who else in the world would let a child come here?" Develop new dishes in the store?"

"Well... aren't you also very strange, who heard that a child came to develop a new dish in the store, and gave him advice so seriously? Aren't you afraid of his failure?"

Xing Heijo Ichiro was curious that Qian Yun had never said anything discouraging to Soma, but Qian Yun, who heard his question, asked in doubt: "Innovation or research and development of new dishes, in the process of cooking, failure is not very common. Why would you reprimand a chef for this?"

In the era of gourmet food, there are about 30 kinds of ingredients circulating in the market.These are definitely not what one person can do. Even Alu only contributed 30% of them. That is to say, among the [-] kinds of ingredients, [-] kinds were discovered by Alu.

At first glance, it sounds like a great achievement, but compared to the whole, it is really just a negligible effort by one person.

But it is precisely because of these insignificant efforts that the world in which Qianyun lives has become the 'Gourmet Era'.

Among them, the number of failures experienced by people is definitely an astronomical number that ordinary people cannot accept.Obtaining good food requires constant experimentation, and it's never smooth sailing.

Simply put, Qianyun lives in a world where chefs are allowed to fail continuously or even countless times.

Xinghei Shiroichiro felt more and more that Qianyun, the mysterious chef, was unbelievable. He raised his head and said in a low voice: "In Totsuki, Qianyun's behavior like this doesn't make sense. Everyone will ask talented people to advance, and once they fail, they will Will be declared the end of my future as a chef if..."

Xing Pingcheng Ichiro didn't finish his words, Xing Ping Chuang really opened the door of the store: "Sister Qianyun! I'm done——Dad?!"

"Hey, what kind of cooking did you cook? Could it be that you want to give Qianyun a taste of your newly developed cooking and ask her to give you some advice? Before that, let me try the taste for Qianyun. I am the son of Kohei Joichiro, if the taste is not good, my father will be ashamed."

"Damn—the dishes I cook will definitely convince you to say the word delicious!"

The father and son over there went in noisily.

Qianyun understood the meaning of Xinghei Joichiro's words, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and a talented person will be asked more consciously or unconsciously by others.

Especially in this world, there are very few people who are called geniuses.

Apparently Kohei Joichiro was one of them.

The skill of cooking is enough to become the head chef of a big hotel, but he chooses to be the owner of such a restaurant...

It seems that there are quite a lot of stories in it.

Qian Yun also saw that Xing Ping Chuangzhen did not have any innate talent for cooking. He grew up in a restaurant, and his only competitor was his father. In this limited field of vision, Xing Ping Chuangzhen Truth presents an infinite possibility.

Because he really enjoys the cooking process, and when he learns more cooking knowledge and has new ideas, he regards it as a kind of happiness.

In such a limited illusion, there will be such an interesting chef. It is because of this that Xing Hei Cheng Ichiro has kept Xing Hei Chuangzhen in this small shop.

Qianyun also pushed the door open.

Just in time to hear Xing Ping Chuangzhen introduce his new dish: "Xing Ping Chuangzhen's special creation, spicy perilla and shiitake mushroom tempura rice ball!"

now it's right.

Pancakes are a very good idea, but the overall taste is too spicy and salty. One or two bites may make people feel delicious, but it is a lot of pressure on the taste buds to fill the stomach.But as a pancake, calling out another serving of rice will make people subconsciously feel strange.

This is a fast and cheap way to fill up the stomach, just imagine it in this principle.

"Well, that is, it can barely be placed on the menu of the store."

After Koheijo Ichiro took a big bite of the rice ball, he pretended to think for a long time before rubbing his son's head and saying this.

Before leaving, Qianyun and Xingheijo Ichiro mentioned that they had confirmed that they would serve as the qualifiers for the autumn selection competition: "Probably the number of visits will be less in the future. Speaking of which, do you want to bring a creative Really go to the game? I can get you two tickets."

"Forgive me, I'll go back to that place now... and it's still early. You'd better prepare well, maybe there will be a lot of great students in this year's Yuanyue, and you're still the judge of the qualifiers , 30 people... No, five people is enough for you. What is the theme of this year?"

Qian Yun replied with a smile: "It's meat dishes."

Food for 30 people?

No problem at all.

Ichiro Kohei, who didn't know how much Qianyun's appetite was, patted Qianyun's shoulder with some sympathy: "Come on."

Qianyun has made great progress in her practice of righteousness, and she asked Erina to help her time it, and she has been able to burn several heart-peeping brushes for at least an hour with relative ease.These days she has been fighting Ham Rose, and Erina is obviously more interested in this. When Qian Yun gave birth to Rose Ham with gratitude, Erina stayed with her all the time.

Perhaps it has been practiced with the heart-peeping brush before, and the ham rose bloomed a big rose-shaped ham in just half an hour.

"It's unbelievable. Meat is growing on the plants... Is this meat or plants?"

"It is a plant according to its shape and growth method, but according to the composition of the ham rose itself, there is no doubt that it is meat." Qian Yun once again buried a ham rose seed in the flowerpot, not in a hurry to give birth, but continued He said to Erina: "Most creatures in the gourmet era are like this. Let me give you another example... the ramen octopus that eats with you in the city, the kind of creature that comes with a ramen bowl, you really can't say it is a What. Before I came to this world for the first time, I was catching a creature called a crocodile. Although the scales of that creature are very hard, they will become the same texture as potato chips after being fried."

"Hey... the scales are actually the cuticles, can they be eaten?" Erina bit the ham in her mouth and couldn't help squinting her eyes: "Although I really want to try this cooking, but eating it raw like this is also good. There is a special flavor in it!"

Qian Yun smiled and continued: "Judging whether a food can be eaten by its appearance is not feasible in my world. Like here, most of the brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous, but our brightly colored mushrooms are all delicious. Woolen cloth."

"Hey...then, Qianyun, will you still take me to that world?"

Erina's eyes were filled with anticipation, and Qianyun thought for a moment: "No problem, I planned to go back earlier, but it's too late now, I'll take you to my world to play after the Yuanyue trials are over—" —Speaking of which, you start learning cooking with Setsuna-grandmother without saying a word, which really surprised me."

"Hey, Grandma Jie Nai asked me if I want to learn. How can I control myself after eating the dishes cooked by Grandma Jie Nai?"

Erina replied with a smile, and then asked casually: "What did you say you missed?"

"It's just an event." Qian Yun felt a little regretful, but he didn't really take this matter seriously: "It's just that I can open a shop in the shrine built by Acacia, and that's why I went to catch the crocodile with horns. "

Erina frowned suddenly: "That quota is hard to get, right?"

"Draw lots every month, 777 stores, just depends on luck."

"Then you shouldn't give up, this kind of opportunity may never be there again!" Erina frowned fiercely: "Is it a conflict with the time of the autumn trials? Just say it earlier, I will say no to grandpa Let you serve as the judge this time. After all, there are autumn trials every year, but you may not be able to meet that kind of event again! Besides, the ingredients over there are delicious, and here Nothing can compare to—”

Erina was a bit unworthy of Qianyun, but Qianyun listened with a serious face and interrupted her: "There is no one way to say that the ingredients are better, at best it is just a matter of personal preference. Rina, since I chose the selection contest here instead of the food shrine's event, it also proves that the ingredients here have chosen me. What you just said will definitely make the ingredients uncomfortable."

"How can the ingredients be uncomfortable?!" Erina retorted loudly with a bit of pique: "The ingredients are just a pile of dead things after all, even if Grandma Setsuna said that she can communicate with the ingredients and listen to the voice of the ingredients... But think about it seriously. Think, how is this possible!"

Erina felt that the cuisine in the food era would definitely taste better than here, because whether the ingredients are good or anything else, they are much more advanced than here.The ingredients in this world, no matter how good the chef is, how exquisite the cooking techniques are, after eating the ingredients from the gourmet era, everything here can only be regarded as ordinary.

"In short, it's really inappropriate for you to give up the things over there!"

Qianyun lowered his head, and after a while, shook his head seriously: "Erina, you are still young. I..."

"I'm not young anymore!" Erina stood up suddenly, holding her head up, with an inexplicable anger burning in her eyes: "I have been a customer of various famous restaurants and chefs since I was very young, and I have evaluated countless restaurants. , with the tongue of God, I am completely different from those around me! Don't use the name of a child to say that I don't know how to cook!"

There was silence in the room.

Afterwards, Erina turned her head and left here, her long hair was thrown in an arc, blocking all the expressions on her face.

Qianyun was in the room, and the ham and rose seeds in the flowerpot could no longer germinate.

There is absolutely no distinction between high and low ingredients, and ordinary ingredients will also bring people a sense of happiness and satisfaction.Qianyun has always felt this way.

However, Erina seems to think that the most delicious dishes can only be cooked with the highest-grade ingredients. In the hands of two people with the same skills, the higher-grade ingredients will definitely be more delicious.Tastier food makes people happier.

The two different ideas of Erina and her caused them to have serious differences for the first time in the matter of cooking.

Qian Yun sat quietly in the house for a long time, and could no longer regain her calm mood.

There must be a change.

Otherwise, the future cooking paths of the two of them will be divided into two.

On the same day, Qianyun went to find Mr. Nakiri and told him about it.

She finally knew where Erina's father had influenced Erina.This is a kind of thinking that Erina's father instilled in Erina. Cuisine that is not 'noble' or 'standard' is not needed and can only be thrown into the trash can.

Mr. Nakiri said that Erina's father educated Erina in this way, which caused Erina to lose the food he cherished since childhood.At the same time, Erina has also become a chef who cannot allow failure.Speaking of the reason, Erina probably felt that if she failed, she would also be thrown into the trash can.

"I'm going to leave for a while, and at the same time, quit my current job."
