Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

But now, just a [Banana Cucumber Roll Rainbow Fruit] can actually make their cell level rise again!

"I now understand why President Yilong was willing to give him the qualification to study at Shilin Temple, which is only awarded to the outstanding employees of the year within IGO.

Sitting on the back of the [Taxi Sheep], [Devil] Simon looked at Lin Qingzheng who was [admiring] various fantasy spices one by one, and shook his head in admiration.

"Yes! At such a young age, you are able to discern the superficial level of ingredients, regardless of the level of the ingredients. Even among the direct disciples of my [Shilin Temple], you are considered to be extremely talented.

Beside him, Kun Kun, the guiding monk from Shilin Temple, shook his head and exclaimed in admiration, "Furthermore, he continues to cultivate diligently and strives for progress. If he can find a talented partner in the future, he will surely become a rising star in the world of culinary arts!"

On the other side, Lin Qingzheng was still conscientiously enjoying the scent of the fantasy spices.

I have to say that the difficulty of the [Appreciation Tour] of Fantasy Spice is really incomparable to the ordinary ingredients in Food Wars World.

How to say it, it's like upgrading a third-order Rubik's Cube to a fourth-order one. Under different humidity, temperature, and cooking methods, the fantasy spices will have almost completely different taste changes.

Not to mention the characteristics of the ingredients, which are almost impossible to stimulate without the input of gourmet energy.

In a nutshell.

"Fantasy ingredients are really not something that ordinary people can handle!"

Chapter 118 The Difficult Gluing Leeks

Throwing the kitchen knife in his hand onto the table, Xiao Xi Kuanyi looked in despair at the [Glued Leek] in front of him that had been cut dozens of times but still remained intact.

They arrived at the Totsuki Resort by car last night.

At first, when Konishi Hiroichi and his friends just got off the bus, they were still in the mood to reminisce about the predicament they faced when they came here in the first grade, and they were also ready to face this time with the calmness of a king's return... [Residential Training].

They even had the energy to greet the chefs who had bullied them in their first year and told them that they were back for training. They even said to them seriously, "Please treat me with the highest standards! No pity!"

Then, at night, they received their retribution.

In the kitchen of Yuanyue Hotel, these students were divided into more than a dozen teams and entered different kitchens.

Even though he was wearing a formal suit, the head chef Gin Dojima couldn't hide his philosophical aura as he personally brought down a box of long, green leeks?

“Okay, everyone, we are in the primitive tribe having a feast, we are old acquaintances!

You all know the rules during the [Residential Training] period, so I won’t explain them to you in detail.

Simply put, this thing is called [glued leeks], and it is a special cooking ingredient that requires extremely good knife skills.

It's almost impossible to cut them open with a single cut. It takes about 100 consecutive cuts at the same spot. Furthermore, if even one of those 100 cuts is off by even a micron, the leek fibers will begin to secrete bitter substances, rendering the food inedible."

"Wow?! 100 consecutive slashes at the same spot?! And not even a millimeter off?!"

Naturally, all the students were stunned after hearing about the wonders of [Glued Leeks].

I can’t believe that there are such ingredients in the world. Even if they are fantasy ingredients, they are too outrageous, right?

However, if the theme of this training was to cut these [glued leeks], it didn't seem that difficult. At least, it was much easier than the one they had in their first year.

"And your exam question is to come up with a star-rated dish made with [glued leeks] in tomorrow morning's WGO test!"

However, how could Dojima Gin let these students have it easy? He quickly announced the second challenge: "As for tonight, your task is to process these leeks in preparation for your cooking tomorrow! Remember! Whether you succeed or fail, this is your ingredient! Tomorrow, whatever you do with the [Glued Leeks] will be what you get tomorrow morning!"

"Huh?! We're supposed to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow morning?!"

To be honest, at first, when the students heard that tomorrow's test topic was to make a star-rated dish by [gluing leeks together], they were a little skeptical.

What? You're exaggerating like you can cut it 100 times in a row, and if you make a mistake by even a millimeter, it will be scrapped.

The question turned out to be making a star-level dish using [gluing leeks]?!

What's so difficult about this? Everyone in Totsuki knows that with fantastic ingredients, star-level cuisine can be easily made.

As for using [glued leeks] to cook, it would be too difficult to handle [glued leeks].

How can I cook if I don’t have enough ingredients?

As we all know, although Totsuki likes to make things difficult for his students, he will never give them questions that they cannot complete!

So, there is only one answer.

That [gluing leeks] is actually not that difficult to handle!

However, the next one is "preparing ingredients for tomorrow's self, whether it is successful or not!"

This completely exposed Dojima Gin's sinister intentions!

He wants us to create dishes using the ingredients that failed to be processed!

In just a moment, the students present became nervous again.

Deliberately let students use low-quality and poorly processed ingredients to make dishes to test their crisis management abilities?

It's very much like what the professors at Totsuki would do!

So, when the students actually touched the [Glued Leeks], the expressions on their faces were no longer so relaxed.

"Crack!"

And after the actual cut, the expressions on their faces became even more essential.

"It's healed! It really wasn't cut open!"

The students stared at the leeks under their knives in amazement. When they were cutting, a little bit of sticky transparent juice spurted out from the broken end of the leeks, which immediately stuck to the parts they had cut. When they moved the knife away, the cut that had just been made had disappeared.

“Ahhhhhhhh…!”

"Wait! Your share is gone! These are the ingredients for your cooking tomorrow! Come on, tell me your name!"

Then, a male student angrily took out a handful of [sticky leeks] and started to cut and chop them wildly, trying to conquer the leeks with brute force.

When he took the first bunch, no one stopped him. However, after he tried several times to cut the [Glued Leeks] without success, when he tried to take the second bunch, Shinomiya Kojiro, who was guarding the box, stopped him and said, "Also, I must tell you that each of these leeks costs 2 points.

If you can't complete the star-level cooking test tomorrow, you will be expelled!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh?! Two points for one?!"

As soon as the chef said this, not only the boy who had lost all his points exclaimed in surprise, but also the other students who were preparing to experiment with the new leeks.

"I...I...I took these leeks, but I haven't cut them yet. Can I put them back?"

"Can't!"

Shinomiya Kojiro, who was left behind to manage the team after Dojima Gin left, had a cold look in his eyes.

Facing the students' feeble pleas, he shook his head firmly. "Also, I have to tell you, it's not just the [Gluing Leeks] that costs money. In this test, if you want to use other fantasy ingredients, you'll have to pay for them too!"

"Wow! I have to pay for other fantasy ingredients myself?!"

This caused an uproar among the students present. Not only those unlucky students who had almost used up all their points, but even students like Konishi Kuanyi who had been picking up leeks one by one from the very beginning had a trace of despair on their faces.

Although he still had more than 90 points left, which was barely enough for him to buy some fantasy ingredients he needed for the assessment, would Totsuki Academy bring them all the way from the academy to the resort just to let them cut some [Glued Leeks] and then pass a star-level assessment?

Xiao Xikuanyi was certain that there would be more tests next!

And these tests are definitely related to fantasy ingredients!

It’s over, I’m going to be expelled from school!

"Of course, we're not giving you any chances!"

Seeing the students' desperate expressions, the dark-faced chef said with a hint of joy, "During the [Residential Training] period, all ordinary ingredients do not require points to be consumed! If you have the ability and confidence, you can use ordinary ingredients in conjunction with the [Gluing Leeks] to pass the star-level assessment! Besides, once you pass the star-level assessment, you will also receive 100 student points!"

"What? No charge for ordinary ingredients? And even bonus points for passing the star-level assessment?"

Now, finally, the students saw a glimmer of hope in their despair.

That's right, this is Totsuki's style, beating students with the greatest force and cruel means to make them feel pain, but leaving them a glimmer of hope at the most critical moment, so that the truly outstanding "Jade" can stand out.

"So, the purpose of the college organizing this [residential training] is to test our students' abilities in knife skills, heat control, cost control, crisis management, information acquisition, and so on!"

Meanwhile, in a kitchen on the other side, Isshiki Hui, one of the Ten Elites of Totsuki, nodded affirmatively after receiving this information from Mizuhara Fuyumi through active inquiry, and offered this conclusion: "Everyone, be careful! This [Residential Training] is going to be even more difficult than the [Field Training]!"

"Hey! Little gorilla-chan!! You better be careful! Don't be the only one among the top ten to be expelled! That would be so embarrassing!"

Chapter 119 The Ten Elites' Accommodation Training

And it is obvious that among the ten outstanding people, Yi Sehui is not the only smart one.

In a kitchen on the second floor, Erina received some preferential treatment because she was a first-year student. In addition to herself, there was also Akane Kubo Momo, one of the top ten and fourth seats, in the team.

At this moment, the legal loli was sitting on a small stool with a kitchen knife in her hand, looking thoughtful. She looked up at Erina's tall figure and broad mind, and with an unhappy look on her face, she gave her the cute nickname "Little Gorilla".

At that moment, on her desk, there was only one crookedly cut leek. This was because after she had damaged the first leek, she immediately stopped and began to practice with other parts of the leek, trying to achieve the "100 cuts without a single millimeter deviation" technique.

As a result, because she was really not good at knife skills, after cutting the [glued leek] into the shape of a twisted wire worm, she immediately stopped what she was doing and started collecting information. While inquiring about the assessment tomorrow morning, she was thinking about how to use this [glued leek] to make her best Western dessert.

During this process, she did not forget to remind Erina, who had already picked up the tenth leek unwillingly, of the key point of this test.

By the way, she also gave Erina a cute nickname "Little Gorilla".

"Okay! I've decided! I'm going to use these leeks to make a [Secret Sichuan Hot Pot!]!"

In another kitchen, Teruki Kuga threw away the leek in his hand and decided what dish he would make tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, I made a lot of crooked cuts. Does it hurt? I'm sorry, but please don't worry!

I will find a way to bring you back to life!" - This is the first of the Ten Greatest, [White Knight of the Table] Si Yingshi.

Yes, even the first among the top ten was still defeated when faced with ingredients like [glued leeks]. He cut a bunch of leeks into crooked shapes, but not a single one was cut into two pieces.

At this moment, he was whispering to the leeks that he had damaged by cutting, using his innate ability to "communicate with the ingredients" to try to make up for his shortcomings in knife skills and intelligence.

What? You asked him why the number one of the Ten Greatest Ones would be found to have insufficient intelligence?

I'm sorry, that's of course because he, Si Yingshi, the number one of the top ten students of Totsuki Academy, the man who reigned over the original Totsuki Academy, is a complete neurotic and socially anxious person!

Because he didn't dare to ask the smiling [Empress of the Mist] Inui Hinatako in their kitchen, he only learned about the new regulations of this [Residential Training] after he had cut a whole bunch of [Glued Leeks].

"Yoshi! This is such an interesting ingredient! It took me so much effort to cut it up!"

Of course, as one of the Ten Greatest Cooks of Totsuki, the elite among thousands of culinary geniuses, there are some among the Ten Greatest Cooks who can meet the processing requirements of [Gluing Leeks].

For example, Saito Tadaaki, the fifth of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki.

This knife master, who comes from a sashimi family, held a cut piece of [glued leek] high in the air.

He said to the team leader Guan Shouping with great pride: "That's it? Maybe you can embarrass others, but you want to embarrass me?

Give me a few more! I want to take first place in this test with flying colors! "

"Then I wish you success!"

In response, Guan Shouping expressionlessly handed him a few more leeks and reminded him, "It took you almost an hour to cut just one [gluing leek]. If the dish you're preparing tomorrow morning requires a large amount of leeks, and they're quite finely chopped, then you'll have to work harder!"

"Ahhhhhhh! Mmm! So fresh! So fresh! So delicious!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Xiaolin, stop eating! If you keep eating, you won't have enough points to buy leeks for cooking!"

Regarding Kobayashi Rindan's vigorous eating habits, Mu Kuchi Yuanguo, the former fruit expert who ranked second in the 89th Totsuki Top Ten, spoke timidly.

"What? Not enough points to buy ingredients? That doesn't exist!"

Finally, she bit off half a leek in her mouth with a fierce bite, tore it off and put it in her hand. The super-strong girl Xiaolin Longdan smiled confidently: "Don't they say that as long as the ingredients contain [Bonding Leek] and can pass the star-level cooking test, it's fine! Ordinary ingredients are free, right?"

"Ah?! Right! But...are you going to give up the advantages of fantasy ingredients and use ordinary ingredients to pass the ultimate level of star-level cuisine?"

Facing the imposing Kobayashi Ryodan, the weak and gentle girl Mukuchi Enka asked a little worriedly.

"Yeah! Otherwise wouldn't it be too simple?"

Xiaolin Longdan exuded a confident and domineering aura. "This game is too simple. It's so boring to play! If these leeks weren't so delicious, I would have deliberately cut them wrong a few times and challenged the test with leeks that had already turned bitter!"

"Uh... okay then! As long as you like it."

What could Mujichi Engo say to such a domineering student? All he could do was let her be!

——In the resort meeting room after 12 o'clock in the evening——

"Yes, Xiaolin Longdan discovered a special cooking method called [Glued Leeks].

If you use your mouth to cut the leek, your saliva will break down the healing juices that bind the leek together, making it lose its healing ability."

In the meeting, Mujichi Enka was the first to speak, reporting to everyone that Kobayashi Rindan had discovered the recipe for [Glued Leeks]. Of course, she also mentioned that she had eaten up all her points due to greed and was planning to use ordinary ingredients to take the test: "If possible, even if she fails the test tomorrow, can you not let Rindan expel her?

Although Longdanjiang didn't have credits to buy ingredients because she was too greedy and even ate raw leeks.

But that's how we discovered the special cooking method of [Glued Leeks], right? Just based on this contribution, I don't think she should be expelled from school!"

"I object! The purpose of this [Residential Training] is to use the special ingredients provided by Chef Kobayashi to select elite chefs who are truly talented in handling fantastic ingredients, rather than idiots who rely on luck!"
