Sword Raiders II

In fact, Yu Li never rejects and actively responds to learning things, or learning knowledge or skills that are beneficial to oneself.

Yu Li also successfully mastered the ability of mobile riding and shooting before returning to the present world after using up the "Honmaru time" of this trip.

——But probably it can only be used on the frontline battlefield of Honmaru. There are not many horses in the real world, and she has never heard of any Shinigami in the Soul Realm with a mount.

Well, anyway, she doesn't have to worry about the sacrifice at Asama Shrine.

"Then, I'm back to the present world." Standing at the gate of Honmaru, Yu Li said goodbye to the swordsmen who were seeing him off in his usual tone, "I'm not here for a few days, please everyone here."

"Come back soon!" The little knives who always occupy the front row waved their hands vigorously and reluctantly.

Yu Li nodded with a smile, and saw Zong San and Jiang Xue who were seeing off in the group of blades, and shouted the last sentence: "The Lingzhi in the field is also begging you!"

After hastily shouting, her projected body has quickly blurred, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xue, who was a beat too late, or who had no time to respond, said, "We must do our best."

Zong San next to him lowered his eyelids and said nothing.

This made Jiang Xue glance at him sideways.

The master had already left, and all the swordsmen guarding the door didn't think Zong San's reaction was significant, but as the elder brother who had lived together for so long, Jiang Xue could naturally tell the difference at a glance.

According to his usual understanding of Zongsan, when the lord said Zongsan, no matter whether she left or not, he would make a few small stabs, such as "It's not enough to call on your brother, you have to pull me in" "Let me serve the spirit." Tian, ​​it seems that he really wants to surpass my past masters." This and that...

It's not that Jiang Xue wanted to make up his mind like this, but Zong San's younger brother has always been in this tone since the lord started the extra task of finding spiritual materials.

If it is said that he is very dissatisfied with the lord, it is definitely not, after all Zongsan never discounts any orders; but if he is a humble and obedient subordinate, even Jiang Xue, who is the elder brother, can't nod against his conscience.

Probably the closest to the truth is what my younger brother Xiao Ye said: "Brother Zong San has been making trouble with the master, but the master tolerated his awkwardness with a good temper."

Leaving aside the second half of the sentence, as long as the first half of the sentence is concerned, you know what kind of mentality the younger brother at home has towards the master. Now it is rare that he doesn't say any sarcasm. How can Jiang Xue, who is used to listening, not be surprised.

The crowd dispersed, and all the swords went to work separately. Jiang Xue and Zongsan did the same, but Zongsan would receive Jiang Xue's suspicious eyes on the way.

"It's nothing, I just figured out something." Knowing what Jiang Xue wanted to ask, Zong San shook his head lightly and answered directly.

Taidao's elder brother couldn't help showing a faint smile when he heard the words: "That's it." He looked relieved and said in a soft voice, "In the past, Xiao Ye and I were a little worried about your relationship with the lord, but now it seems that there is no need. You did it After teaching archery, I am indeed much happier. My lord, you are really an incredible person."

His words were full of gratification and joy at the "reconciliation" between the two, which made Zong San feel a little guilty that he had been worrying the two brothers all the time, but when he heard his last sentence, Zong San raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Brother, why did you say that?" He asked softly, with some subconscious inquiry in his voice.

Jiang Xue didn't answer, just shook her head at him with a smile, this Zhenfo Dao was gentle and tolerant both in expression and eyes.

So Zong San suddenly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyelids and didn't even look at Jiang Xue anymore, just echoed.

"Yeah, an incredible guy, always has been."

In the silent exchange just now, they seemed to understand something, but on the surface it seemed that nothing happened.

The two brothers of Zuo Wenwenjia returned to their residence as usual, and in a courtyard passing by, a cherry blossom had just budded and bloomed on a branch that was still sluggish.

……

[Then, the comprehensive results of the evaluation of the business performance of all the restaurants under the Xinggong Pavilion this month and the evaluation of the personal skills and management capabilities of the chefs and chefs of each restaurant are as follows...! 】

In the present world, the cooking training ground under the Xinggong Pavilion.

In the huge venue that looks like an indoor football field, under the dense lighting of the ceiling, hundreds of cooks stand meticulously behind the cooking table, and together with thousands of ordinary employees in the auditorium, collectively focus on the high platform in the center of the venue several figures.

Listening to the comprehensive ranking of this month being broadcast on the stage, the chefs and sous chefs of the major restaurants in the arena could not help showing more or less nervous expressions.

On the high platform, Ruishan Zhijin, who was in charge of the briefing, also had a panoramic view of the expressions of the people below. He continued to sing and read with a serious face, but he enjoyed this superiority in his heart.

Xinggong Restaurant is not a charity hall, just like Yuanyue Ligong, it has a fiercely competitive elimination system. The chef of the restaurant whose overall ranking is at the bottom for three consecutive months will be fired directly. The occupation of the chef means that the sous chef of any restaurant in the Xinggong Pavilion is promoted to the chef and directly digests it internally.

There are many items for comprehensive ranking evaluation. Although the cooking standards of the chef and sous chef account for a large proportion, the monthly turnover of the restaurant they are in charge of, the praise of diners, etc. are also within the scope of the evaluation. After all, a qualified A good chef can't just cook delicious food, but also be able to manage other aspects.

Therefore, it is true that there are many powerful chefs whose culinary skills far exceed his own, and Ruishan Zhijin can still look down from such a superior position. He also has part of the decision-making power for these chefs to stay in Xinggong Restaurant.

However, at the end of the ranking, when he glanced over one of the leaders with his vaguely complacent eyes, he secretly let out a sigh in his heart.

[Comprehensive ranking No.1, Red Maple Prince Hotel.Chef, Master Si Yingshi! 】

The white-haired boy whose name was being read at the bottom raised a smile, a pair of beautiful silver eyes passed by Ezuya Ruishan, who was standing at the front of the roll call, and fell directly behind the kimono who had been sitting quietly behind the judging booth. on the girl.

The other party received his gaze, nodded and smiled approvingly, the young man blushed slightly as if inspired, and pursed his lips vigorously, but his figure stood up straighter.

This guy is helpless.

Zhijin also complained in his heart, and he was still outputting to the audience.

[This month's evaluation is over, and more specific evaluations will be sent to the mailboxes of all restaurants by the headquarters after half an hour of detailed evaluation.In the next three days, if anyone has any objection to the current ranking or position, they can send an application to the headquarters. If the review is passed, the headquarters will arrange a food halberd from the first to the third of the next month, and there will be no waiting!Now, disband! 】

Immediately, the quiet venue became bustling.

The cooks who had already obtained their respective rankings had expressions of joy or sorrow, and many of them still subconsciously focused on the group of three people who were slowly walking down from the central high platform.

Among them is the chief culinary consultant who is still in the third year of high school in Totsuki, who has already mastered the power of the Star Palace Museum, and the eighth seat of Totsutsu's Ten Elites; The lecturer of the garden, and one of the disciples accepted by the owner of the Xinggong Pavilion, the genius adopted son of the Nakiri family, Nakiri Chaoyang; and the kimono girl who was finally guarded by the two.

The only woman among the five major culinary masters in Dongying Kingdom, the owner of the Xinggong Restaurant, which makes hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year, and also the sure future chef - Xinggong Yuli.

Whether in the workplace or in the circle, he is the undisputed immediate boss.

Ability, wrist, status, wealth, and beauty, every aura attracted this young girl's attention, but no one dared to desecrate her.

The fate of the group or family that once reached out to her is still to be determined. This one has proved to the world time and time again that she cannot be offended.

Under the strong spotlight, the girl in golden and red Wufu walks slowly. Her appearance is like flowers, trees and snow, but her temperament is more like ancient pines and cypresses. There is an unreasonable oppressive force as she walks. The crowd subconsciously retreated to the sides, making way for her to leave the field.

"It's really... like a living goddess."

While watching, a middle-aged chef sighed softly, but his face was convinced.He is also a senior chef with decades of excellent craftsmanship, but he can stand up to other apprentices except for his qualifications, let alone the one who accepted seven geniuses in one go. itself.

For the rest of his life, he probably could only look up at this one like this.

Just as he was thinking about it, a chef who was also participating in the evaluation stepped up and chased after the group of people not far ahead.

The middle-aged chef was taken aback for a moment, but soon he was relieved when he saw that it was No.1 among them.

Only a young genius like Chef Si Yingshi can have the confidence and capital to pursue that one.

Stepping out of the evaluation venue, Yu Li and his party walked towards the building through the internal dedicated passage.

"Master, where have you been these past few days! I can't even call you, why should you be so mysterious!"

On the way to the elevator, in the scene where no outsiders were present, Nakiri Chaoyang complained to Yuli that she "has been missing for a few days and can't find anyone".

"I said before that I was going to do special training in archery, don't disturb, did you just know?" Ignoring the disciple's resentment, Yu Li replied casually and then nodded to Si Yingshi on the other side with a smile, "Very That’s right, this is the second month to rank first in the overall ranking, you’ve worked really hard, Ying Shi.”

The white-haired boy who received the praise suddenly smiled shyly: "This is not due to me alone. The manager and other employees of the hotel have helped a lot."

Different from the re-simulated internship in school, Si Yingshi realized that he had to worry about more ways to manage a high-end restaurant by himself, from internal self-management to dealing with various diners externally.The society will not provide what it wants like a school, and all kinds of difficulties that he can think of or even never think of will pop up from time to time. If he is really alone, no matter how good his cooking skills are, he will not be able to manage such a big restaurant. hotel.

So Si Yingshi is humble enough to be sincere. He still has a lot to learn and hone. Even if he graduated from Yuanyue with the honor of the first seat, for him, he just has a higher starting point in life. The journey ahead is still long.

"That's why I want to praise you as a great chef." Hearing that he was sincere and not taking any credit, Yu Li smiled deeper, and would always be more tolerant of students who just graduated from school, "It can make all the employees in the restaurant happy. Obeying orders and working together around the kitchen and the table to get the job done is also the skill and charisma of a chef.”

"How come, I'm still far behind you!" Si Yingshi waved his hands quickly, "A few years ago when Xinggong Restaurant was open, I will never forget the way you directed Chef Sigong and them in the back kitchen. "

If you haven’t seen the former kitchen of the Xinggong Pavilion with your own eyes, and seen the people in front of you in charge of the kitchen, compiling those famous chefs into an orderly army and lashing out at Fang Qiu, you’ve always been alone in the kitchen In the past, he might not have made up his mind to take over a restaurant as a chef.

The two were talking, and Ruishan Zhijin, who took a step behind, also lowered his head and flipped through the documents in his hand, pretending to be busy, and Nakiri Chaoyang, with his hands in his pockets, just rolled his eyes at Yuli's amiable look at Si Yingshi .

"Oh, by the way, how is your special bow training, Master?" He forcefully interrupted the conversation, bringing the topic back to the topic, "Are just a few days enough? Where is the venue? Do you want me to help?"

"You are so annoying." Yu Li replied impatiently, with a look of disgust on his face, "Instead of worrying about whether I have practiced Kyudo well, why not think about your restaurant, the evaluation of Xinggong Pavilion in the middle of the month is over, and it will be you at the end of the month The seven disciples have passed the assessment, don't dare to wander around just because you won the first place in front of you."

"Don't worry, Master, I won't lose." The disliked brother Chaoyang didn't hurt or itch, and even asked for credit with a thick skin, "It's better to say that I will rank first in the disciple assessment for half a year. I have the name of a chief senior brother?"

Yu Li replied to him directly: "I think I need to ask Xingping or Erina to come over and wake you up."

"Please feel free to call me." The other party took it with his hips on his hips, "I have already been ranked in the second half of the Chef's Sect, and it happens to be the shame of Xue Xue's BLUE competition. Neither Xingping nor the princess are afraid."

The master and apprentice were arguing all the way, and the elevator arrived soon.Si Yingshi, who had been robbed of his attention, followed silently, with a look of loneliness on his face.

He could feel that the lecturer was more intimate with Nakiri Chaoyang than he cared for and appreciated him.That's not just because of his student status, but also because of his casual treatment of friends.

After the four people entered, the elevator slowly closed.

Listening to the uninterrupted conversation, Zhijin also flipped through the materials at hand more diligently, and deliberately moved to the side again.

This doesn't seem to work either.

He got out of the definition room, and the elevator had reached the bottom floor, and it started again.

"Would you like to go to the rehearsal at the Asama Shrine for an internship, Master, I will help you contact the priest Sakagami over there." Brother Chaoyang's brisk voice came out again, "You are welcome, if you have something to do, the disciple will do his best."

"You don't need to do your best." Walking out of the elevator, Yu Li rebuffed, "I just need you as a disciple not to run around, just concentrate on managing your own restaurant, and go back. Zhijinya, what is my next itinerary? ?”

The eighth seat breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately announced: "It's Master Guantian's cooperation invitation, about the ocean fishing company established by Xinggongguan in Hokkaido..."

Naturally, it was not an occasion where Nakiri Chaoyang or Si Yingshi could continue to keep up, so Yu Li greeted the two boys readily, and drove away with his chief consultant.

"Bye bye, master!"/"Master Xinggong, see you next time."

Standing on a deserted street, the teenagers standing side by side smiled and waved at the passing car, and the cheerful atmosphere gradually disappeared when it could no longer see its shadow.

Si Yingshi stood on the spot in a snow-white chef's attire, with a straight posture and outstanding temperament, completely living up to his title of "White Knight of the Table". One step away from him was Nakiri Chaoyang in a black sweater. When he was walking outside in the name of his family, the boy still liked to maintain his image of being a late-night cook, with his hands in his pockets, and he didn't hide his evil spirit at the moment.

At this time, he also looked at Si Yingshi with a half-smile on his face.

"Some people are really cunning. They avoid the evaluation and assessment of intruder disciples by refusing to learn from their masters. They are really good at getting attention and praise when they get the first place in the evaluation with the mediocre people below." Covered sarcasm.

Looking at the leader of the late-night chef in the old world, the young genius who has also been attracting the attention of the world is expressionless.

"What happened to the Maeda family that day, did you do it on purpose?" Si Yingshi said something unrelated to the topic, "You deliberately lured Qian Kubo to speak at that time, so that I could just hear it."

After that day, the two of them had already understood what they had in mind for each other, and there was no need to hide anything.

"Did you just realize it?" The other party didn't feel guilty about being exposed at all, and even felt regretful, "It's a pity that Master didn't fall for it at all. She obviously made an agreement with Akane Kubo when she blamed it and said it was you who insisted on it." here."

Si Yingshi couldn't help but clenched his fists, and retorted in a low voice: "Master Xinggong is not the kind of person who would vent her anger indiscriminately, she is gentler than anyone else."

"Oh Huo, you understand again?" Chao Yang raised his eyebrows, his voice still frivolous.

"At least I know better than you." Si Yingshi looked up at him, "Although it's not close, I can still say that I have witnessed or participated in most of the process of her rise, and I know exactly what kind of person she is. people."

This statement made Nakiri Chaoyang very upset, his face turned cold all of a sudden, and the maliciousness of the people in the world was released unconsciously.

Normally, Si Yingshi, who was not in the cooking time, would have been terrified for a second, but now the white knight at the table frowned directly: "Actually, I have always wondered why Master Xinggong I want to accept you as a disciple. Even if your talent is recognized globally as strong, I don’t think she will take you seriously. Even if you become a member of the Nakiri family, you used to treat Master Xinggong It's still kind of dirty..."

"Shut up!" Brutally interrupting Si Yingshi, Nakiri Chaoyang glared at him viciously, "What is your superior attitude of judging me? The fact is that she accepted me as a student, and she didn't mind me at all. In the past. But you, you haven’t got back the grinder that I lost to me in the BLUE game, have you? What right do you have when I trampled on you? Huh?”

Si Yingshi couldn't help taking a step back as the ferocious momentum approached.

Nakiri Chaoyang laughed directly: "It's ridiculous to dare to challenge me at this level." He leaned forward and grabbed his collar, his eyes were cold, "I know what you are up to, but I will tell you now. You, you won't have a chance. With me in one day, don't even try to get close to her, put away those unrealistic delusions as soon as possible!"

"It's you who shouldn't be delusional." Clenching his fists tightly, Si Yingshi didn't back away this time, and looked back through gritted teeth, "So you don't know her at all, I don't know what you used By means of getting her to agree to accept you as a disciple, she has a reason to approach her at will, but I just want to say that you have stopped here."

The person approaching from the opposite side seemed to be startled, and retreated abruptly. Obviously, his brain had already realized what he meant.

It was still too late for Nakiri Chaoyang to appear, or he was too impatient, he just wanted to be attracted by the light on that person, and tried his best to get close, but he succeeded and failed.

"The master is the master, and the disciple is the disciple. Your relationship will always be like this, because Master Xinggong is such a person." Si Yingshi concluded in a low voice, stretching out his hand to straighten the wrinkled collar, "It is impossible for me to be like this all the time. Lost to you. Grind the knife and I'll get it back." And not for long.

The author has something to say:
