Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

Because one of them was the granddaughter of the commander-in-chief and the other was the director's disciple, they had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the laboratory of the institute.

"I read in an ancient Chinese cooking book that the people of Yunnan have a way of dealing with poisonous mushrooms: placing them in a clean stream and washing them day and night, allowing the water to carry away the mushroom's toxins!"

At that moment, in the laboratory, led by Miyamoto Kojiro and the short Mizuhara Fuyumi, a dozen or so graduates and professors from Totsuki Academy were huddled around a skinned and deboned puffer whale, researching how to prepare it. Because Lin Qingzheng had already stated when he sold it that this thing was a product of poor processing and couldn't be used directly, everyone was currently focused on how to remove the toxins from the fish.

For example, now, a middle-aged man wearing square-framed glasses and looking like an old scholar spoke up and proposed using water flow to remove the toxins from the puffer whale's body.

"I disagree! Puffer whales are fish, not mushrooms. They don't have such strong fibers. Continuous water flow is likely to destroy the texture of the Puffer whale's meat!

If the meat is already damaged, what's the point of detoxifying the puffer whale?"

Then, his proposal was rejected, which made the middle-aged professor blush.

He turned his head and glanced at the man: "Professor Guan Shou, what else can we do?"

The one who spoke was none other than Guan Shouping, the fourth of the top ten in the same class as Shinomiya Kojiro and his friends, the general of the Tokyo [Ginza] sushi restaurant!

He brushed his long hair off his forehead. "I think we could try using the normal cooking method for pufferfish sashimi. Remove the discolored areas that have been contaminated by the toxins, and then process them the same way as pufferfish liver. Perhaps we can reduce the toxins to a level that's safe for consumption."

"Huh! So, you can't handle it either?"

The middle-aged professor with glasses pushed his glasses up and curled his lips. "Humph! What if the puffer whale still can't be eaten after going through all those procedures? Will the guests die after eating it?"

"you!"

Naturally, the old professor's ridicule made the young and energetic Guan Shouping angry. He was about to rush up and talk physics with him, but was stopped by everyone.

"Alright! Enough of the fuss?"

At this moment, Yao Dad, who had been watching quietly from the side, spoke up: "Didn't you see someone coming? Do you think we haven't been embarrassed enough?!"

"Someone? Who?"

Then, everyone turned around and saw Alice and Lin Qingzheng looking at them. Suddenly, everyone fell silent. - There was nothing they could do. One of them was the boss's granddaughter, and the other was the world's number one chef. If they were to make fun of them, it would be a huge loss of face.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

So, even Guan Shouping, who had just been glaring like a raging bull, about to charge at the middle-aged professor, now stood up straight, straightened his messy clothes, and pretended to be calm as he continued to debate with the middle-aged professor wearing glasses, "So, Professor Gong Li, do you have any good ideas for dealing with the toxins in the [Puffer Whale]?"

"Me? There's nothing I can do!"

However, his inquiry did not receive a response from the professor in the palace, because he had already arrived in front of Lin Qingzheng and Yao Die.

"So, you're planning to use even more premium ingredients based on the [Sky Beef Bone Clear Broth Ramen] to create a ten-star dish just for you?!"

"That's right! Before, I was just imitating or plagiarizing, using other people's ready-made recipes, borrowing fantasy ingredients and my own talents to cook. But recently, an elder of mine made a request to me. He wants to eat my own cooking! And he wants it to be ten-star quality!"

Because there, Yaodie was talking to Lin Qingzheng about his ten-star cuisine.

“So I feel that I must make every aspect of this bowl of noodles, including the soup, noodles, side dishes, seasoning, fragrance, and taste, perfect!

I've been looking through existing cookbooks lately, trying to find my own way through them, but I haven't got a clue where to start.

So, please help me! Master Seiichiro! "

"Wait, you just said you were looking through ancient books from various countries, trying to find your own cooking path?"

At this moment, Professor Miyazato Takao spoke. He was also one of the professors that Yao Di had asked Lin Qingzheng to ask about his technical skills.

So he also understood what Lin Qingzheng's current situation was.

Naturally, he was also very interested in teaching the future world's number one person: "Let me introduce myself, my name is [Miyasato Takao], I am a second-level professor at Totsuki Academy and the instructor of the [Miyasato Research Society].

Mr. Lin, your current situation is actually due to the lack of basic cooking knowledge.

What you urgently need now is not guidance on direction, but the accumulation of basic knowledge.

And I, a humble person, am the professor who is best at training students' basic abilities in the entire Totsuki Academy!"

"Uh...this..."

Faced with this sudden self-recommendation, Lin Qingzheng turned his head to look at Yao Di and asked him whether what he said was true.

"Yes! That's right! If we only talk about teaching the basics, Professor Miyazato is the best in Totsuki!"

Then, Yao Di nodded solemnly, acknowledging Professor Gong Li's ability: "If you just want to strengthen your grasp of basic knowledge, I strongly recommend that you study with Professor Gong Li!"

"Ok!"

After receiving Yao Die's recommendation, Lin Qingzheng nodded, turned his head, looked at Professor Gong Li, and bowed slightly to him: "Thank you for your help! Teacher Gong Li! In the next month, I hope to make up for the basics I have missed as much as possible!"

"Hmm~! Sure! Sure!"

Professor Miyazato twirled his beard, contentedly accepting Lin Qingzheng's bow. This was a bow from the world's greatest chef; he was grateful, deeply grateful. "You just said you were planning to start your research with ramen? Here, here you go! Go to the library first and finish reading this book, and thoroughly understand it!"

As he spoke, Professor Miyazato took out a piece of paper and wrote a name for Lin Qingzheng: "1000 Examples of World Pastries".

Chapter 96: A Hundred Flavors Tour

"Hi! Good morning, Lin! I didn't expect you to join our [Gyazato Research Institute]!"

It's true, time flies when you're seriously studying. He spent a whole day reading "1000 Pastry Recipes from Around the World," but before he could even experiment with the different pastries, he'd already fallen asleep. When he woke up, it was already the next morning, and before he could even try out the pastries, Lin Qingzheng went to the Palace Research Institute to ask the professor which book he should read next. It wasn't that Lin Qingzheng was impatient or anxious to learn; it was simply that his "Gourmet Cell" mode was now activated, allowing him to memorize everything he learned, drawing inferences from one instance to another. Despite not having yet to practice, he already knew the entire "1000 Pastry Recipes from Around the World" by heart.

In this case, reading this book would be a complete waste of time. While he still has a day off today, Lin Qing is planning to read a few more books to prepare for the IGO placement test on Monday.

Then, as soon as he entered the gate of the Miyazato Research Institute, the bespectacled man named Marui Zenji, who also belonged to the Polar Star Dormitory, greeted him: "Hi? Good morning to you too! Zenji, I'm looking for Professor Miyazato. Is he here now?"

"Huh?! Professor? Him? Professor, he hasn't arrived yet!"

Marui Zenji's eyes wandered slightly. Actually, Professor Miyazato had already arrived at the research group. To be more precise, Professor Miyazato had been here since last night, spending the entire night searching through ancient texts for a possible detoxification method for the Puffer Whale.

Finally, because he stayed up too late and his health was not good today, he told Marui that he didn't want to see anyone. If someone came to look for him, no matter who he was, he had to say that he was not here.

However, this sentence could fool others, but not Lin Qingzheng. Using his own sensitivity to air disturbances, he had already discovered that there was someone in the back room of the research institute. Judging from the regularity of the airflow, there must be someone sleeping.

I came to you early in the morning to ask you a question, and you were sleeping? How can this be?!

Lin Qingzheng, who was only thinking about studying at the moment, couldn't stand Professor Gong's laziness. He frowned and shouted towards the back room: "Professor Gong! Don't sleep! It's me! Lin Qingzheng! I have finished reading every book you asked me to read! What's next? Which book should I read?"

After shouting, there was no movement in the back room.

"Professor Gong Li! I'm Lin Qingzheng!"

So, Lin Qingzheng shouted again.

"Student Lin, it's useless. Professor Gong Li is really not here!"

After the second shout, there was still no movement from the door to the back room. Instead, Marui Zenji frowned and spoke, "How about this? You go back first. I'll text you when Professor Gong comes this afternoon."

"Oh! All right! That person can leave! Professor Miyazato!"

At this moment, Lin Qingzheng had already "heard" the chaotic and disordered air flow fluctuations coming from the back room. He guessed that Professor Gong Li had woken up and was hurriedly putting on his clothes.

So, after shouting, he sat down on the chair and waited.

On the side, Marui Zenji's brows were still furrowed. "Lin, I told you, the professor is really not here! Why don't you trust me?"

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five..."

However, Lin Qingzheng didn't want to talk to him, but was counting down according to the actions of the person behind the door.

"Student Lin, your countdown is useless! If Professor Gong is not here, then he is not here!"

"Uh uh uh! I'm coming out! I'm coming out! Qingzheng-kun, don't go!"

Then, before Marui Zenji finished speaking, Miyazato Takao hurried out from the back room. Amidst Marui Zenji's surprised muttering, he came to Lin Qingzheng and tested his understanding of the "1000 Pastry Recipes from Around the World." As he did so, he asked, "Have you tried all these pastries?"

"No! Not even a single one!"

"Why not give it a try?"

Lin Qingzheng explained to him, "Tomorrow is Monday. I have to go back for something and accept an assessment from an elder. It won't be too late to try again then, so please tell me what I should do next."

"Next..."

Professor Miyazato stroked his beard and said, "Go read 1000 Spices of the World!"

Of course, future high-end dishes will definitely lean towards imaginative ingredients, but these basic spice knowledge still need to be learned and remembered. This time, while learning, you should also taste the flavor of each spice and imagine what it would taste like when these ingredients are paired with different foods! Understand?"

"understand!"

Lin Qingzheng nodded repeatedly and began to feel that this professor in the palace was really capable. If he really trained according to his requirements, there was a high probability that when he tasted a certain ingredient in the future, he would subconsciously be able to think of what spices would best match it.

Isn’t this just a weakened version of Liu Maoxing?

Then, although he felt that this was a bit impolite, Lin Qingzheng, who was confident in his [Gourmet Cell] form, still asked: "Then what? What if I complete all of these?"

"Then go read [1000 Characteristics of the World's Vegetables]! Then read [1000 Characteristics of the World's Meats]! And taste them while you're at it!"

"Yes! Miyasato-sensei!"

After receiving instructions on the next step of study, Lin Qingzheng bowed to the professor, turned around and walked out.

Well, as for spices, Professor Shiomi Jun’s office should have the most, right?

"Waaaaaah! That Seiichiro guy's apprentice! You...you don't come near me! Liang! Liang! Liang! Come save me! Stop him! Now!"

"Professor, I'm here to learn! Professor Gong asked me to taste various spices while reading! There are many that I can't find in the academy, so I had to come here to find you."

Seeing the petite professor shrinking back into her chair in fear because of his appearance, and the handsome Indian man who appeared immediately after hearing his adoptive mother's scream, Lin Qingzheng spread his hands helplessly: "Can you help me? If you have any requests, I will do my best to meet them."

"Ten different fantasy spices! I want a kilo of each!

After hearing what Lin Qingzheng said, Shiomi Jun, who was originally curled up in the big office chair, pushed his glasses and raised a finger.

He said with a mature look on his face, "Give me ten kilograms of fantasy spices, and I'll help you complete the [Hundred Flavors Tour]! I'll even give me my research data on the spices you've already brought out!"

"[A Hundred Flavors Tour]?"

"Waaaaaaah! Don't come near me!"

Unfortunately, Shioji Jun's maturity only lasted for a short while. When Lin Qingzheng approached him because he heard a new term, the professor was frightened and curled up in his chair, waving his hands with tears in his eyes. "Liang, I'll leave this to you! Is that okay? I really don't want to deal with anyone related to that Seiichiro guy."

"Of course! Go take a break and wash your face."

The young and handsome adopted son looked at her with eyes full of doting and then came to Lin Qingzheng: "I will lead you in the next matter.

The so-called "Hundred Flavors Tour" is a chef training secret technique passed down from the "dark culinary world" of western China. Its purpose is to train new chefs/children to memorize the taste of all the ingredients/spices they will need to use in the future.

Although training is difficult, time-consuming and has a low success rate.

But if it succeeds, it will create a chef of unprecedented genius."

At this point, Ye Shanliang confidently brushed his hair across his forehead. "For example, I've already completed the [100 Flavors Tour] for ordinary ingredients, and am now in the process of appreciating fantasy ingredients and spices."

At this point, the handsome Indian man smiled somewhat proudly. "But don't worry, with my experience, you won't have to spend fifteen years! In just one year, I can help you complete the [Hundred Flavors Tour]!"

Having said that, Ye Shanliang still had a confident smile on his face, as he could see Lin Qingzheng's expression of surprise and admiration.

"A year? That's still too long! Is it possible to finish it faster? Like, within half a year?"

However, Lin Qingzheng only had one year to study.

How could he possibly waste all his time on basic knowledge training?

Considering that he would have to explore the food ingredients in the food prisoner world in the future, Lin Qingzheng wanted to shorten his study time to about half a year.

"About half a year? No problem! Even if you want it done in a month, that's fine too!"

Ye Shanliang answered simply, but with a sinister smile on his face: "As long as you have that outstanding talent, it will be fine!

But if not, it takes time for the human brain and body to thoroughly remember a taste.

If you force yourself to speed up your training, you'll lose your sense of taste and become a cripple! What do you think? Do you still want to speed up?"

"Yeah! I'm fine! Let's keep going!"

"

Chapter 97 Igo's Leveling Test

The next day in the food world, at the Lin Zhimian ramen restaurant, Lin Qingzheng changed into a white chef's uniform for a rare occasion, got up early in the morning, opened the shop, boiled beef bone broth, fried dragon beard noodles, and waited for the arrival of the igo reviewer.

When everything was ready, he kneaded a large ball of dough and began to practice making the various pastries he had seen in "1000 Pastries from Around the World".

"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang."

"Oh ha! Boss! Excuse me, is this Linzhimian?"

Here, Lin Qing was trying to make thousand-layer fried pancakes according to his memory.

Unconsciously, it was ten o'clock in the morning. As the time came, as the wall clock in the kitchen rang, a blonde, red-eyed girl wearing a white J-suit and a one-step skirt appeared at the door of his shop. She glanced at Lin Qingzheng who was kneading dough to make sesame cakes, found a seat and sat down: "Hello, I am Koizumi, the food grade appraisal officer of IGO. I am in charge of the food grade work of this restaurant today. Please do your best to show your cooking skills!

I will give you a corresponding rating and recommended price based on your cooking skills!"
