Sword Raiders II

Regarding the boss's last complaint, Yu Li, who really has the title of "Saving the God of Wealth", pretended not to hear it, and just let it go.

"Then tomorrow." Yu Li said, "Sign a contract tomorrow, and by the way, go to the farm to see if there is anything that needs to be changed or adjusted."

Once the two of them made such a decision, it meant that they had to make a business trip reservation tomorrow. Fu Sangshen, who got the news at home, sighed again, but quickly cooperated actively.

Yu Li originally thought that it was a busy day, but in the middle of the day, he received two phone calls one after another.

A call came from Si Yingshi, who was guarding the Red Maple Prince Hotel, and he came to ask her for leave.

[Lecturer, I'm really sorry that I have to leave the hotel intermittently for a period of time, and I can't determine the working hours during this period. 】

"What's wrong?" Yu Li was not surprised, "Have you received an invitation to another event, Star Chef?" The last sentence was obviously a joke.

The boy on the other end of the microphone was really embarrassed: [Say "you" or something... The lecturer is much more popular than me if he thinks about it.It was "THEBLUE" who sent me an invitation to participate. 】

"THE BLUE?" Hearing this name suddenly, Yu Li was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "Ah, if it's this competition, you should be on vacation even if it's a full day."

The World Emerging Chefs Championship, referred to as "THEBLUE", as the name suggests, selects the best part of young chefs under the age of 35 from around the world, and bets all their reputation and strength to compete with each other in front of the world The ultra-authoritative competition.

Its reputation and authority are as high as the Olympics in the sports world, and it is a global competition for young cooks.

"The selection of contestants in the BLUE competition has always been harsh, but if it is student Si, let alone sending out invitations, I wouldn't be surprised even if they are exempted from the knockout round." Yu Li smiled and congratulated.

[The lecturer really hit the mark, the competition did exempt me from the knockout round of the first level. ] The boy on the other end of the phone smiled embarrassedly, [To be honest, I was still troubled for several days when I received the invitation to play in this competition. I'm not very good at it... But after thinking about it, I still ask you to ask for leave. 】

"That's how it should be." Yu Lixiang didn't want to say, "You are so young and so talented, you should meet and practice with different cooks more, not only will you gain in cooking skills, but also for you. Personality is also a kind of experience. When I was your age, I didn't have the opportunity to receive such an invitation letter. I really envy you to be able to compete with those talented peers in reality."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she was startled and suddenly fell silent, and the other end of the microphone also became quiet.

And now, she is actually 24 this year, and she is also eligible to participate in "THEBLUE" in terms of age.

But her current status is that "THEBLUE" is no longer qualified to invite her to participate.

Letting a God of Cooking who has no official name but is already recognized as the strongest in Japan come here, that is not a competition, it is pure bullying.You must know that there are chefs who have the qualifications of cooking gods in the world, and they are at least forty years old. It cannot be said that there are no monsters like Xinggong Yuli, but they are very few.

If you really want to go to the scene, you can only be the judge of the final.

[Yes, yes. ] Si Yingshi wanted to change the subject, [Speaking of the qualifications, I heard that Yuanyue also has a place, and Nakiri even got a ticket to the semi-finals. 】

"Is that so? If it's the eldest lady, it doesn't seem to be surprising." Yu Li also followed up cooperatively, "I just don't know who the other students who got other places in Yuanyue are."

[I guess Xinghei should be one of them. 】The young chef immediately said, 【What other people say...it's hard to say, it's not very clear. 】

"You think it's hard to say that it's because you can't remember the names of those juniors?" Yu Li joked, "I want to laugh when I think of my classmate complaining to you in front of me. You eat a halberd, but you forget it afterwards, it is natural to attract people's hatred."

[Please don't talk about the lecturer, I apologized to Jiuga later, and this kind of thing really won't happen again. 】

Sure enough, the other end of the microphone started to panic. Jiuga Zhaoji, who was the eighth seat at the beginning, was determined to become stronger because of this, and he did not hesitate to rely on his relationship to get Yu Li's head, but also the scene of pulling down the first seat also made Si Ying The person concerned, Shi, has lingering fears.

Yu Li didn't tease him anymore after that, the two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the communication.

Putting the phone away, she looked up at the vibrant farm and vegetable garden under the sun, and then looked up at Mount Fuji shrouded in mist. The top of this extinct volcano that will hardly erupt is covered with a layer of snow all the year round. People can think that there is actually an entrance that can lead to hell hidden in the middle of the mountain. Yu Li was lucky enough to walk through it once when his soul was separated from his body in a car accident.

#Well, this is a secret that cannot be told to living people#

"Are you looking at Mt. Fuji?" Mr. Ruishan, the manager who finally had time to follow her, looked at the mountain along her line of sight, "Although it is a famous mountain that can symbolize the Eastern Kingdom, it's just like that when you get close to it." .” As a professional manager who has seen many related works of art, to be honest, Mount Fuji in reality cannot compare to the beautiful images depicted in various human works.

Compared to this, his first reaction to this mountain is that, if he remembers correctly, Mount Fuji should be the private land of Asama Shrine.

"Mr. Ruishan, please be more literati, more elegant." Hearing that he began to detail the ownership of Mount Fuji, Yu Li couldn't help complaining, "Even if you are doing business planning in the food industry most of the time, your You haven't lost your career as an art manager, and you are still in charge of selling my paintings."

"You have time to paint." Ruishan retorted, "Isn't it like me that you are busy with the Star Palace Museum, and you are covered in copper stink, how can you still have time to study painting? Promise to the government The ten-meter Thangka "Picture of Ultimate Bliss" is still a semi-finished product, right?"

"I'm not full of copper stink. I'm a master of painting, a recognized artist." Yu Li said with a twisted mouth, "I won't quarrel with you, the contract has been signed, and I have seen this farm. The boss’s planting plan is pretty good, there’s nothing to change, so let’s just leave it to you. If there is still entertainment, I’ll leave it to you, and I’ll go back first.”

And act as a hands-off shopkeeper.

The manager shook his head, but he was used to it for a long time.

Sitting back in the car, Yu Li originally planned to go straight home, but the phone rang for the second time, and the caller ID was Nakiri Erina.

Miss Yuanyue... oh no, now the new commander-in-chief suddenly came over, Yu Li didn't hesitate, and just pressed the connect button.

Sure enough, the girl's clear but somewhat expectant voice came from the other end of the microphone.

[Master Xinggong, Guian, sorry to disturb you suddenly. 】

"It's not like you to be so cautious, Erina." Yu Li didn't mind, "Just say what you have to say. By the way, I haven't congratulated you for getting the direct train for the seed player of the BLUE competition. Why don't you prepare well for the competition? Call me when you have time? Do you want me to give you a little trick to increase your chances of winning?"

This is a complete joke, the young lady who has the top-level culinary talent "God's Tongue" is relying on Yuanyue's background, so why should she guide her, even with Erina's pride, she can't do such a thing.

Yu Li's last sentence, "No, I didn't even help out with Si Yingshi under my banner, and I won't help you, the little general." the sound of.

[It's like this... Lord Xinggong. 】The voice was extremely low, as if he was enduring something.

"Huh?" Yu Li didn't respond.

[That's it, Lord Xinggong! ] Repeated again on the phone, 【If possible, can you come to Yuanyue for a visit?I really have no choice!Please, Lord Xinggong, help me!I want to win the championship!The Chief Executive Officer who wants to come to this BLUE contest...and also the Chief Judge! 】

In the end, the voice was already crying.

Yu Li didn't expect that the always proud eldest lady would be so fragile this time, begging her humbly.

Something must have happened!

"Erina, don't cry, don't cry. You wait for me in Yuanyue, I'll come right away!"

Hearing that Yu Li was going to come immediately, the girl on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't help sobbing even harder: 【Thank you, Mr. Xinggong... Woo... I will wait for you at the school gate! 】

The car changed its destination and drove on the road for a while before finally arriving at Yuanyue Academy again.

Sure enough, there were Erina and her assistant Fei Shazi standing at the gate, and the two girls greeted her car immediately when they saw her.

The reception place for Yu Li this time is not Yuanyue's VIP room, but the reception room near the commander-in-chief's office.

"Can we talk about it now? Why do you have to meet the judge from Zong Juehan, and you are still so obsessed with being the champion of this championship?"

At this time, there were only Erina and Yuli in the reception room, Fei Shazi and his own servants were all dismissed, and it was a one-on-one conversation space.

The blond beautiful girl's usual expression, which was maintained quite well, collapsed directly under Yu Li's question. She lowered her head and was very depressed. After a while, she slowly opened her mouth: "Master Xinggong should know that the organizer of "THE BLUE" is IGO (International Gastronomy Association) right?The chief executive who is in charge of organizing this tournament and the judges for the finals this time is my mother Nagiri Nakiri. "

What a big melon!It surprised me at the beginning!

Seeing Yu Li's stunned expression, Erina showed a wry smile: "Master Xing Gong also felt very surprised, right? I was the same when I just found out the news. In my memory, the relative who accompanied me for the longest time is grandpa. Whether it’s my father or Alice, they’ve only been together for a few years. My mother, Nagiri Nagi, even left me when I was very young. The reasons why she abandoned me, my father, and my grandfather and their relatives have always been the same from beginning to end. There is only one—"The Curse of the Tongue of God". "

The melon seems to have grown bigger.

The top cooking talent "God's Tongue" is the blood talent of the Nakiri family. The Nakiri family has dominated the entire Japanese culinary world by virtue of this talent. People can easily taste the culinary secrets in other people's dishes and enjoy many delicacies, but this tongue is also very sensitive and picky.

To put it simply, after eating A-level dishes, her tongue will not be willing to settle for B-level dishes below A level. If she eats S-level dishes, A-level dishes will not be able to catch her eyes.The palatability becomes worse in the later stages, and the food becomes more and more difficult to eat. In the end, delicacies from all over the world are no different from pig feed under the taste of "God's Tongue".The eldest lady's biological mother couldn't eat anything at all, including the food that she, the god tongue, could not eat.

"Wait...feed?" Yu Li heard a key word, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "So why did your father go crazy last year to carry out a coup in Yuanyue, and to carry out a major reform of the national food industry? The remarks that other people cook are fodder, in fact, it is for your mother?"

"Uh...um." Mentioning this Erina felt a little embarrassed, "so my grandpa and I forgave him in the end."

The ghost father who played Xiaoguan's daughter's little black house suddenly turned into an infatuated husband who turned black for love?She couldn't take it for a while with this divine twist!

"Ahem, that's not the point, Lord Xinggong." Probably knowing what Yuli was complaining about, Erina blushed and forcefully brought the topic back, "The point is the curse of the tongue of God, all the Nakiri family has this talent No one can escape such a fate. My mother is said to be unable to eat anything now, and her tongue rejects all "pig feed", so she can only survive on the nutritional drip. She can't even accept the food she made, so I also don't believe that I, who is also God's Tongue, can do this...Mom, even if she knew that I would participate in THEBLUE, she would use her authority to forcibly remove me later, and would not let me see her."

When Yu Li heard this, she understood a little bit: "Erina, the curse that your Nakiri family has not broken for generations, you don't think I can help break it?"

"I can't help it!" The girl suddenly said excitedly, "This year's World Emerging Chef Championship, in my mind, none of the young cooks under the age of 35 can compare with you! No, looking at the whole world, as a young God of Cooking, who is only in his twenties, you are a miracle! I would rather put all my hopes on you than the messy existence of young chefs or late-night cooks of the same age. If someone can help The Qi family broke the curse, I believe that person must be you!"

Yu Li showed hesitation, this burden was too heavy for her to bear alone.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I accidentally said something very outrageous! Please pretend that I didn't say anything before!" As if realizing that she was too eager and anxious, Erina quickly changed her words, "I invite you to come here this time, I just hope you can help mom a little bit, help me..."

The back of the biological mother who passed away when she was a child vaguely came to mind, she lowered her head, her eyes were red.

"Actually... I just want to cook a meal for her with my own hands, and I want to see her eat it comfortably, and be praised as 'delicious' at the end..."

The wind blows the sea of ​​vines, and the wisteria flowers sway like bells.

A vine flower was blown down by the wind, and when it swayed down, it was held firmly in the palm of a slender and pale hand.

"The blue silk runs through the falling flowers, and I hope that the falling flowers will last for a long time. I cherish the flowers, and the blue silk can't be worn." Reciting the beautiful waka in the way of singing, the gray hair with black eyes and golden pupils looks peaceful and light, but his eyes are not clear. He turned to Hizen Tadahiro who happened to be passing by in the verandah.

"What do you want to say?" The boy with a bandage around his neck stopped in displeasure and looked at him in confusion.

"Don't understand?" The gray-haired Wendao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then... the tree by the pond in my house, and the vines are already in full bloom. Du Yu is singing in the mountains, I don't know when it will come. Do you understand?"

"Understood a ghost!" Feiqian Kunihiro was furious, was the ex-master who bullied him a stupid and poor person, "I want to find someone else than the song, the ghost understands what you just said!"

After all, he walked away angrily.

Seeing him go farther and farther, the Taidao taught in ancient and modern times also sighed and shook his head: "This Honmaru...there are still too few swords that can talk freely."

"There are only so many Fengya knives, you can't talk to everyone in this way, ancient and modern." Ge Xian came out from behind, and he looked even more helpless, "What about Hizen, I think you should remind him more bluntly." , it will be more convenient not far from the time when the lord retrieves him in this world."

"That's not important." The gray-haired Wen Dao turned his head and looked at the slightly withered vine flower in his palm again, "Spring... is coming to an end."

Yuanyue Academy, the commander's reception room.

"If it's just that, it's fine." Yu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said.

Although he ate a big melon from Nakiri's family, Yu Li really didn't intend to bear such a responsibility for this melon, it didn't matter if he just helped the young lady win a championship to meet her mother.

Erina was really overjoyed: "Thank you!"

"But not in Yuanyue, but go to the stealth community, and I will call you online at that time." Yu Li already had an idea in her mind, and she still needs some time to implement it. Seeing the eldest lady nodding her head again and again, she suddenly remembered something, "Are you free now, take me to the junior high school."

The author has something to say:

In the last chapter, there are books and the memories of the quilt, and those who are interested can take a look.
