Eternal food paradise

"Tasoko, what are you doing?" Soma Yukihira found Tadokoroe holding a notebook and a ballpoint pen, biting the tip of the pen from time to time, staring intently at the kitchen where the duel was taking place, and sometimes lowering his head to record something.

"I'm recording the usage and combination of some spices." Tadokoroe said, "The title of the first knockout round of the 'Autumn Selection' is 'Curry Dishes', and now this competition is centered around 'Spices'. These two There are common themes that can be learned from. "

Two hours of Shiji came to an end in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Xia Yan was pleased to find that because of Tian Suohui, all the friends in Jixingliao were like students who had done their homework, and they paid much more attention to this meal, and all of them took notes.

"Senior Xia Yan, who do you think will win?" Alice Nakiri quietly approached.

Xia Yan smiled.

Under his "super-hearing" observation, he made an absolutely accurate judgment in his mind before the 'Shokuji dishes' were even plated and served.

of course……

Caibo Chaoyang won.

"Chef Nitta is indeed a veteran in the industry. Even if it is such a cruel food, all the links have been completed safely."

"oh?"

Another voice appeared on the opposite side of Alice, close to Xia Yan's right hand, "Why do I hear that your tone seems to be reprimanding Chef Nitta for seeking stability?"

Nakiri Erina did not grab her arms and wrap them around her like Alice, but stood in a classic posture with her arms crossed.

"Is such that……"

Xia Yan said without changing his expression: "He just had a chance to give his dishes a 'sublimated spice formula', but he abandoned the spice that might cause a radical change."

At the same time, in the Yuanyue Group office building.

Dojima Gin spread his hands and placed them on the back of the sofa: "In this situation, with such a vital Shokugeki, it is right to seek stability."

"Shura" Saiba Joichiro nodded, "Ha, you noticed it too? Just now when Chef Nitta was making spice paste and spice juice, he took an extra bottle from his box, but he uncorked it. When things come to an end, I want stability and abandon it, so I boldly guess that this is the factor that caused the radical change of the 'Spice Formula'..."

In other words.

How powerful and terrifying is a ‘spice formula’ that no veteran chef has absolute confidence in?

At the judging table, Istvall, the 'Second Executive Officer' of W.G.O., fixedly looked at the plate brought to the table by Chef Nitta, and asked with a very solemn expression: "Why not use an additional 'formula'? I don't know much about it." I like this kind of dull and stagnant food..."

Nitta Yuichi's face was so silent that there was no change in expression at all, "Because..."

Just when I was about to explain.

boom!

Caibo Chaoyang brought his "Shokuji Dishes" to the table and opened the lid.

"Bah, bah, bah—"

The mist surged.

A hot and humid tropical jungle looms on the plate.

Not only was it a shocking hallucination, but my nose also caught the ‘smell of the rainforest’...

A kind of spice fragrance with its own painting style. The moment you smell it, you will imagine the vast forest in your mind.

Witness this scene.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yan's mouth, "With this concentration of characteristics, you have met the standard."

There is no need to use a systematic appraisal. He also has his own set of tasting information for Caibo Chaoyang's "Shiki Dishes":

Special dish (Shiji).

Trait/Index: [Drug] (broken painting), [Magic] (slight or moderate).

Well, probably...

I caught a glimpse of a fleeting 'green light spot' on the dinner plate.

"Maybe there's the slightest degree of [glow]?"

anyway.

The two extra special weapons are enough to defeat Chef Nitta who is obsessed with stability.

Seeing this, Xia Yan turned around and left calmly:

"The arrival of the W.G.O executive and the expanded scale of the live broadcast have made the significance of this Shokuri victory and defeat extraordinary."

"At least, the world should know the cooking style of the 'New Dark Cuisine World'."

In the office.

Dojima Gin's mouth suddenly opened wide, "Won?"

"Well, it's really because of that small bottle of 'green beans'..."

Saiba Joichiro said with great interest.

Compared to Yuichi Nitta, he was undoubtedly paying more attention to his adopted son, always paying attention to his every move. How could he not notice the smile on Saiba Chaoyang's lips when he took out the bottle of 'green beans' when the cooking started.

‘Green beans’!

Dojima's silver eyebrows raised and he said helplessly: "Joichiro, this is what you call 'unable to see through'..."

Huh!

It seems like yesterday, 'food writer' Shingo Anton asked him about the restaurant at the annex in Aoyama, Minato City, opened by a certain graduate. And Shingo asked him again and again about what green coffee beans and what Thick-skinned bay fruit…

I originally planned to go and have a look in person, but unexpectedly I got a call on the way out and hurried to Nakiri's house, so the trip was delayed until today.

With a slap on the thigh, Dojima Gin stood up suddenly, "Joichiro, let's go, let's go to a restaurant in urban legend!"

"Maybe there is the answer to the mystery of 'green beans' there!"

Hearing this, Saiba Joichiro was very interested and laughed: "Very good, Gin, let's find the answer together."

The two of them had their arms around each other, as if they were returning to Totsuki's school days.

…

"Akita Village".

Another group of people are also paying attention to the focus battle of Shoji.

"Lord Saiba, we win!"

"His cooking skills have improved significantly."

Sitting in a wheelchair, Hyogoro Tokiyama listened to the exclamations of the elite chefs and suddenly said: "From the beginning to the end, he did not rely on the "Noble Phantasm" and completely defeated the chef with his native cooking skills." A powerful enemy! "

‘Sergeant’ Shaqi.

‘Bartender’ Koma.

As well as 'Mo Liu Zhao', 'Wrathful Mad Girl', 'Kitchen Clown' and others, suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, someone hammered the table and stood up: "I want to start honing my 'original cooking skills'!"

"Yes, I also want to become a strong man like Master Saiba and stop relying on the "Noble Phantasm"! "

Watch the group leave.

Tokiyama Hyogoro smiled lightly and said to himself: "Now, people have recognized your 'idea' and 'path'."

“Then they will become your followers.”

“Publish your ideas.”

“Further your genre.”

"And...fanatically flip through your cookbooks and learn your dishes..."

…

Ding dong!

On the way back to the hot spring hotel room, Xia Yan was startled by the sudden system notification sound.

A row of mission log information is emerging from the field of vision:

["The Dark King of Shokuge City", the progress has been updated. 】

[You can settle tasks and receive rewards. 】

What are you waiting for? Of course Xia Yan chose to settle.

then…

A large amount of reward information flooded the screen.

The "Twisted Tree" is fully grown.

The World Tree that I had been thinking about for a long time finally popped up as an easter egg. Xia Yan was so happy when I saw the [Deviation Value] +20%.

"+10% deviation value (task reward)."

In total, 30% of the resources were instantly transferred to the account. Xia Yan felt that all the planning and running around during this period was a huge profit.
