Sword Raiders II

At the foot of Mt. Fuji, there is Miya Asama Taisha.

In a kitchen not far from the Hall of Worship and the Hall of Fame, two teenagers holding kitchen knives stood facing each other behind their kitchen counters.

This is the place where chefs make dishes after the opening of the Divine Grace Ceremony. Every time a dish is prepared, a maiden will bring it to the sacrificial offering table in the temple. The dishes are specially created.

After Yuli brought the two of them to visit the shrine and explained his purpose, the priest Sakagami directly gave up the place.

"No matter what the result is, we will have to make dishes here at that time, so it should be a preview in advance." The young heir to the shrine said so.

It really makes sense.

Standing in the kitchen, Yu Li looked towards the shrine not far away. There was a half-open room there. After removing the shoji door, one would see a hanging curtain. The curtain did not block the entire room, but left There is a gap below the knees of ordinary people, and it is just from this gap that you can see a long dining table and exquisite cattail mats in the room.If anyone sat behind the table, he could only see the hem of his clothes and his hands at most, and his upper body and face were completely covered so that he could not see anything.

But outsiders can't see the inside, but they can see the outside in the room. The perspective of this room is very clever. People sitting in the room can see all the singing and dancing on the Kagura stage in the distance just by turning their heads a little.

There is no delay in passing dishes, eating dishes, watching songs and dances, and you don't have to worry about privacy being exposed. The gods worshiped by people are different.

No wonder Yato sharpened his head and dreamed of opening his own shrines all over the country.

Thoughts were secretly diverging, the announcement of priest Sakagami in the room pulled her back to God again.

"After the opening of the grand ceremony, the Kagura dance will last for 4 hours. During these 4 hours, we must pay attention to ensuring that the enshrined dishes and drinks are continuous, so of course the production time this time is also 4 hours. Two people, I remind you again that we at Asama Shrine The deity is a slender and sensitive goddess, whoever's cooking is more in line with the standard of the goddess, we are more willing to invite whoever is in charge of making this sacrificial dish."

The priest's last promise did not communicate with Yu Li beforehand, which made Si Yingshi and Candlestick Cut Three Blades look stunned, but when they saw that neither Yu Li nor Nakiri Chaoyang's expressions were not surprised, they quickly recalled it Come.

Yes, from the cheerful attitude of the priests who directly let the kitchen be used as a place for eating halberds, you can feel that Asama Shrine attaches great importance to this festival. It is not impossible to force the co-organizer to change people.

"Isn't this adding to the pressure on Si Yingshi?" The tortoise guarding near the door couldn't help but said to his colleagues, "Obviously everything was settled, but in the end he was forced to come to the shrine, and the errand became uncertain again."

"No." Hasebe denied in a deep voice, "On the surface it is what you see, but the Lord will not condone Nakiri Chaoyang's temper. She can hold the Halberd Festival here, but she is already sure to win People will only be Si Yingshi. With the announcement of the priest, if Nakiri Chaoyang still loses, the lesson will be more profound."

"That's true." Candlestick looked at the two people who were facing each other in the center of the arena, and whispered in agreement, "Nakiri Chaoyang probably thought of this a long time ago, so his face was quite bad along the way."

Reminded by him, the other two blades immediately cast their eyes on the face of the boy in black. It was true that he had been stern since he left the Prince Hotel.Originally, I thought it was because I made Master unhappy, but now I realized that I was thinking too much.

But young geniuses are mostly arrogant, even if they know that the higher ups deliberately want him to bump into a wall, he still feels that he will definitely be able to knock a hole out of the wall instead of breaking his head.

"What do you think he's trying to do?" Guijia sighed, "What good is it to annoy Gouxiu Jinsama? He obviously knows how to appoint errands? It's the master's freedom, but he insists on making trouble. Even if this task is given from Si Ying If you grab it in the hands of a soldier, you lose the favor of Gou Xiujin and Sama, isn't it a small loss?"

Just like them, in fact, they don't like these little boys approaching their masters at all, but they also know how to weigh the pros and cons, and never give themselves more drama when they should be transparent.

These words silenced the other two blades. In a sense, among the three of them, Guijia was the most open-minded.

"Can't you see? The reason for his fuss." Candlestick cut glanced at the tortoise shell, with a delicate expression and a little sigh.

"What?" Turtle Shell waited for an answer.

It was Hasebe who answered him without looking sideways: "He felt that his 'number one' status was threatened, and he chose a wrong way to prove himself to the Lord."

"what?"

"To put it simply, it's the resentment that comes from being 'first'." Candlestick cut explained with a smile, "It's because I think I'm the best and most respected in a certain area. If there is any important matter, I should first find myself and then it's my turn. Someone else. As a result, the development of the situation is completely different from what I imagined. No matter how I reflect and compare, I feel that it should not be someone else, and then my mentality is out of balance."

The more Guijia heard it, the more he felt familiar, then his eyes lit up, and he thumped his palms: "Isn't this the same as? Maruri Hasebe thought that he was the candidate, but Gou Xiukin Sama picked someone else, and he just got sick!"

Hasebu, who was cited as an example, clenched his forehead with blue veins and his body: "..." If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't suitable for him to make a move now, he would definitely draw his knife and cut this thing up!

"Well, let's all be quieter." Candlestick cut hastily rounded up the situation, "The halberd eating has started over there."

Indeed, when they were discussing in low voices, the kitchen fight on the field had already started. The two talented chefs were handling all the ingredients at hand with superb skills, and the men with swords and swords were clearly preparing for each other. The types of ingredients are always showing surprise.

"It's almost the same?"

They would not be surprised if Si Yingshi had the Xinggong Pavilion here to say hello in advance, so that he could come directly to collect relevant information and prepare ingredients that fit Muhuakai Yeji's preferences.When is Ke Nakiri Chaoyang...

"The first time he learned that Si Yingshi was responsible for the sacrificial food mission, did he also investigate secretly?" Hasebe confirmed in a cold voice, "After all, he was born as a cook in the middle of the night. If he wants to know what he has, he has the means. There is no pressure to be more despicable. Using the same ingredients as the opponent to eat the halberd, what kind of intention is very obvious."

"Do you want to crush Si Yingshi in all directions?" Candlestick sighed, "What kind of deep hatred is this?"

"Hehehe, I can't help but remind me of that Yamabukiri Uta-kun." Guijia looked excited after watching the show, "But this kind of arrogant guy is not very popular here in Goxiu Kinsama."

"It's not that you are too arrogant and unpopular." Hasebe gave him a cold look and corrected him directly, "It's that being too arrogant is easy to be self-centered, which leads to excessive words and deeds that lead to troubles. There are no ones who will cause trouble to others. popular."

When the two vibrators were discussing the dialectic between character and trouble, the chef's knife of Sumaru was concentrating on watching the food halberd on the scene.It can only be said that they are worthy of being famous international chefs in later generations. Whether it is Si Yingshi or Nakiri Chaoyang, the various cooking skills they mastered in their youth dazzled Candlestick Chef and benefited a lot.

It turns out that some ingredients can still be processed in this way?Learned learned.

But this is just incidental after all. Not long after, not only Candlestick Kiri, but also Hasebe and Kikko discovered that although the two parties who eat the halberd use the same ingredients to make the same dishes, the cooking methods they can use are completely different. .

If Si Yingshi's techniques can still be said to be the traditional operations of normal chefs, at most they are more skilled and exquisite; then Nakiri Chaoyang's techniques are really endless, complicated, and even shocking.

"A chainsaw? A needle barrel? A miniature guillotine? A knucklehead?... Can these be considered kitchen utensils?"

"Is it necessary to punish the ingredients for making a dish?"

"It seems that the kitchen knife and the self-heating juggling pot are more normal..."

The melon-eating swordsmen who watched the scene for the first time really couldn't hold back their complaints, and were very grateful that they were far away from the owner of the house and that they were not afraid of everyone noticing the curse of neglect.

It's just a complaint, but when I saw that the boy really cooked exquisite and moving dishes with these unimaginable kitchen utensils, he still couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"He used a guillotine to cut tofu into slices thinner than paper?"

"Is it so convenient to use a knuckle to remove the shell and pick the shrimp thread?"

"While using a chainsaw to make food carvings for the ingredients, they even sprinkled seasonings for marinating and flavoring?"

"Hey, what did you inject into the grains of rice with a syringe? And even if it's just a bowl of rice, it's not a small amount, right? It's really doing it grain by grain. Still super fast?"

Unknowingly, almost everyone's eyes were attracted by the cooking scene of the boy in black.

Nakiri Chaoyang, a culinary talent that can be called a supernatural ability: interlaced blades.

——As long as you have seen the chef's cooking process and got his kitchen utensils, you can perfectly copy the other's cooking skills and integrate them into your own cooking skills.

He used the culinary skills of a master chef when he changed a piece of kitchen utensils, and anyone can imagine how delicious a dish will be after the perfect fusion of the best skills of several chefs.

This is also the root reason why he dominated the entire overseas underground culinary world and became the leader at a young age, and continued to look down on other talented disciples after returning to Japan to learn from the Master Chef.

Others rely on themselves to eat halberds, but this one is no different from gang fights, especially rascals and helpless.If it weren't for the presence of God's Tongue and Xing Ping Chuangzhen on Yuanyue's side, no one in the same generation could hold back.

"Si Yingshi has been at odds with this monster for most of his life, and each wins and loses. It's really amazing." Witnessing history with their own eyes, the men with swords admired it in their hearts.

"In this way, it is obviously more terrifying that our master can suppress these monsters to death."

As the dishes were sent to the judging table one by one, the four-hour food halberd competition was coming to an end. Because of the special nature of this food halberd, the priests who served as judges did not score one by one on the spot, but unified in the end. Inform his judgement.

At this time, only the last rice is left for the sacrificial dishes.

"I have something to do, let's go out first." At this moment, Yu Li suddenly said.

It was clear that both parties had finished cooking, and it was about to be served to decide the outcome. She who had been watching silently, suddenly said that she was going to leave, which attracted both the priest and the halberd eater to look at it in surprise.

Yu Li ignored their expressions and continued: "It won't be long, if I haven't come back after the end here, come and find me in Yongyuchi."

? She will not participate in this halberd eating, and just watch from the beginning to the end. Of course, the priest Sakagami has nothing to stop.

Yu Li left without a look from the teenagers.

Her cold reaction made both of them stunned for a moment, but they were still eating their halberds at this time, and the two sides quickly turned their attention to each other.

Let's finish eating the halberd first!

During these four hours, the priest saw a dish that was more exquisite than the previous dish, which could almost be called a work of art, and thought that the final staple rice should be just like that.

As a result, Si Yingshi served five-colored rice in an exquisite cherry blossom bowl.

"Freshly steamed pineapple pilaf, please taste."

When the lid was lifted, it looked like an ordinary bowl of white rice.But when the priest tentatively took a sip, he was immediately surprised.

“Pineapple and meat in rice!”

Chew the outer shell of each grain, and all the sweet and sour fillings will come out. This is a dish stuffed into small rice grains!

"What's the matter with this taste? I've tried so many things before, but I'm not tired of eating this at all!"

Looking at the rice in his hand, the priest's face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't stop eating.

The judges are so obsessed, it seems that the tendency is already very obvious, Nakiri Chaoyang put his hands in his pockets, raised his eyebrows at the silent Si Yingshi with a slightly ruffian smile, his eyes were full of unexpected arrogance.

What is the difference between this scene and the BLUE contest?The judges first praised Si Yingshi's excellent cooking, but they liked his Nakiri Chaoyang's dishes even more.

He opened his mouth to the person opposite and made a mouth gesture: "Master will leave early, because he doesn't want to see your embarrassing face when you fail miserably?"

I really expected to see Si Yingshi's gloomy or forbearing reaction, but the other party just raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly, silent but calm.

His reaction made Chaoyang's face gloomy. He thought of his master's expression of being on the sidelines from beginning to end, and seeing Si Yingshi's indifferent expression at this time, an absurd but not good premonition came to his heart inexplicably.

But how is this possible?Obviously, the priest was more interested in every dish he tried before, how could he...

"As the successor of the Asama Palace Taisha, I officially announce that the chef of the sacrificial food for this divine favor ceremony will still be Master Si Yingshi!"

why!

Nakiri Chaoyang couldn't accept this judgment at all, and the bystanders in the kitchen were also confused. He was obviously happier eating the dishes from Brother Chaoyang, so why is this the result?

In this regard, the priest sighed.

"Have you forgotten my request for eating halberds? It is "Whoever's cuisine is more in line with the goddess's standards, we will invite whoever is in charge of the sacrifice." "Looking at the confused people below, he knew he had to speak more bluntly, "I have tasted the dishes on both sides. The cook's food is for people to eat. "

Nakiri Chaoyang's whole body was shocked, and he stared wide-eyed over there, the priest over there was already talking to Si Yingshi.

"People are most afraid of piety when they do anything. I have tasted the pure heart of piety in Chef Si's cooking, the piety of the ingredients, and talking with them makes them the favorite of Asama. This kind of heart It’s so pure that I’m moved. Sure enough, the recommendation of God of Chef Xinggong couldn’t be more correct, Chef Si, you are really the most suitable chef for the grand ceremony at this time!”

He shook Si Yingshi's hand again and again, he couldn't be more satisfied.Then, as if remembering something, he turned his head to look at Nakiri Chaoyang, with a bright smile on his face.

"There is also Chef Nakiri, who is indeed the proud disciple of the Star Palace Chef God. Today's skill really surprised me. To be honest, I have never tasted such a delicious dish when I grow up. It just blew my taste buds It's all exciting and provocative..."

Nakiri Chaoyang didn't listen to the following words, he turned around and ran out of the kitchen.

Late-night cooks spend their lives fighting for their cooking to stimulate human appetite to the greatest extent. It is not normal to feel that it is so delicious that they can't stop and even become addicted.Shouldn't such a dish be good no matter where it is placed?

Now tell him that this set has failed.

Still defeated by him? He didn't think he would lose!

It's ridiculous that he laughed at Master for leaving early to avoid embarrassing Si Yingshi, but the one who took care of his face was...!

"The halberd food is over?"

By the pond with the small vermilion bridge, a gentle female voice came, and Nakiri Chaoyang, who had been running wildly, froze all of a sudden.

Only then did he realize that he subconsciously ran directly to the side of Yongyu Pond, and the person who left the table suddenly and said that he would wait here now looked more like he was waiting for him.

Although it's winter, the pond used for blessings in front of me is not frozen, reflecting the setting sun that is about to sink, it is shimmering and blushing.

"Do you want to pray?" Seeing that he was still silent, the master changed the subject directly, "Go back to the kitchen after praying, and we will go back after collecting the good things."

Nakiri Chaoyang couldn't help raising his head anymore, this person had expected everything, but now he didn't say anything: "You... don't you have anything to say to me?"

For example, laughing at him for questioning her decision, teaching him to disobey discipline and get carried away like this is how he ended up, picking at him for his habit of being a late-night cook has not been changed... Everything is fine, shouldn't he be reprimanded from above? ?

"That's too much." The person concerned sighed, "You are such a smart boy, would you ask these words back? It means that you are aware of everything, right? Since you know everything, why do I, a master, still If I want to show you another face, just now, you have learned your lesson."

The young man was speechless all of a sudden, he could even hear that the other party was not angry a long time ago, and even felt a little pity for him because of his setback.

"You should clearly know by now that not everything can be settled by talent, right? I don't object to your wanting to be the 'number one', but I object to your mentality of being the 'number one' now. You can obviously do better , but used the worst way. Next time, don't do this."

Preaching, just a few sentences, gone.

But Nakiri Chaoyang, who has always been rebellious, couldn't hold his head up. Ten thousand words of preaching are not as good as a personal experience, which is probably the case in front of him.

"At my age, I say that I can be a good master, but I don't even have the confidence." He heard her sigh, "I don't dare to be a human being, but I think I can teach you how to treat cooking correctly. You took the initiative to tell me If you want to worship me as a teacher, if you don’t recognize my chef Daogen? You don’t need to be like this, after all, the Yuanyue Group of the Nakiri family is enough for you to use for a lifetime, isn’t it?”

"How about trying to trust me as a master? I promise I won't teach you astray!"

Someone patted on the shoulder, Chaoyang raised his head, and saw the encouraging smiling face of the opposite person, and stretched out his hand towards him.

"Let's go, after greeting Priest Sakagami, we'll go back."

And looking at such a smile, he found that most of his previous depression had disappeared.So what if Si Yingshi won the Shiji, the one who was specially waited to comfort him was the one who received more attention.

"By the way, remember to say sorry to Yingshi. If you don't do it, I, the master, can only apologize on your behalf."

"..." How could it be repaired!
