Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 145 The Wandering Chef
As time goes by, a week passes quietly.

Among them, on the second day after Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo became a chef, Zhang Fan completed the task of increasing the passenger flow to 48 people within 500 hours and received some rewards.

During this time, the izakaya is still experiencing various emotions and events.

But it is indeed much more comfortable than before.

In the early morning, looking to the east, the entire sky is still immersed in the hazy morning light, mixed with some light orange and pink clouds.

In the Jiexingliao dormitory, everyone was busy packing their luggage and preparing to go to the square where the big bus was.

"Xiao Hui, you have to hurry up."

"I heard the bus will leave at 7 o'clock sharp, so we don't have much time!"

Ryoko Sakaki was waiting anxiously in the lobby on the first floor.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

In Room 302 upstairs, there was an echo soon, and then a thumping sound was heard.

Soon after, Tadokoro finally came to everyone in a panic, carrying her suitcase and looking nervous: "Sorry, there are a lot of things to prepare, and I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, let's set off quickly."

Ryoko Sakaki shook her head, indicating that she didn't have to do this, then turned around and left first.

"Senior, since we are not here during this period, I will trouble you to look after the dormitory in Jixingliao."

On the occasion of parting, another boarding student, Yoshino Yuki, was a little reluctant to leave.

"Don't worry."

"With me here, there won't be any big problems in Ji Xing Lao."

After saying this, Isekui looked at Yoshino Yuki with some emotion, and her eyes became blurred.

He seemed to be recalling the scene when he also participated in residential training activities last year.

Finally, the remaining two girls, Yoshino Yuki and Tadokoro Megumi, left.

And looking at the backs of those people who were gradually moving away, Yisekhui could only sigh deeply.

How cruel is residential training?

As someone who has been there before, he must have a deep understanding of it.

Therefore, he could only pray to God, hoping that all of them could survive that cruel training event!
……

Not long after Tadokoro and others left, a middle-aged man carrying a travel bag came to the door of Jokusei Residence.

He looked up at this building that had traces of time. The slightly gloomy atmosphere and the desolation of the surrounding environment made him stunned and thought to himself:
More than 20 years?

Sure enough, everything has long since changed.

Perhaps after he dropped out of school, this Jiexingliao dormitory would no longer be as glorious as it once was!
It took him a long time to gather his complicated thoughts. After a moment's hesitation, he took a few steps forward and pressed the doorbell.

"Who?"

"Is it Xiaohui?"

"I saw you in a panic just now. Did you leave something behind again?"

Soon, Yise Hui opened the door with a puzzled expression.

However, what impressed him deeply was not the reckless Tian Sohui, but a strange middle-aged man with a somewhat lazy look.

Looking closely, his hair is a bit messy.

The beard is also like an uncombed weed, and the whole person looks a bit sloppy.

But he was tall and tall, with a resolute and stern face, as if he had experienced countless winds and rains, but still stood firm.

Just standing there made Yisekhui feel a strong sense of oppression inexplicably.

"You...you are..."

Yise Hui regained his composure and asked.

"I am a former resident of Jixing dormitory, and I came to see Wenxu!"

Just as Isekui was looking at Joichiro, Joichiro was also staring at him closely.

In the end, he roughly guessed Isekhui's identity and couldn't help but politely replied.

"Wenxu?"

"Our old aunt, the dormitory manager?"

Hearing this, Isekui was stunned, and finally hurriedly called for Omidou Fumio.

"Who will come to me at this time?"

"I don't know. I just said he was a former resident of Ji Xing dormitory."

Wenxu could only come to the door with a puzzled face.

She raised her head slightly and saw that the figure standing in front of her looked very familiar. He looked like the Totsuki genius who was all-powerful more than 20 years ago, Saiba Joichiro!
"Caibo?"

"You...are you really Cai Bo?"

In an instant, he finally recognized Caibo's Wenxu, his eyes filled with disbelief!

……

Generally speaking, residential training is a training activity officially planned by Totsuki Academy.

Therefore, all freshmen in the higher education department are usually asked to gather in the square first, and then they are taken to the destination by bus, that is:

Far Moon Resort.

Then, there will be a 6-day and 5-night training camp at the resort.

During this period, if any students fail to pass the test, they will be put back on the bus, forcibly sent back to Totsuki Academy, and expelled from school.

At this time, with the arrival of 7 o'clock in the morning.

The dozens of large buses gathered in the square finally set off from Totsuki Academy.

Following the twists and turns of the road, it formed a long chain and started heading towards Yuanyue Resort.

The Yuanyue Resort, located on the mountainside, is surrounded by a dense forest, with only two or three winding paths leading to the outside world.

Although it is a bit remote here, it is better because of its beautiful environment.

Viewed from a distance, many buildings are full of European style.

Among them, the most dazzling and well-known one is this resplendent five-star hotel, Totsuki Rikyu!
Yoshino Yuki, who had just gotten out of the car after a long journey, saw the Totsuki Palace in front of her, her bright eyes lit up instantly, and she said excitedly: "Wow, this... this hotel looks really luxurious!"

"Yes, judging from the previous flyer."

"This hotel should be the five-star Totsuki Rikyu."

"I heard that if a tourist here stays here for one night, it will cost 8 yen!"

On the side, Ryoko Sakaki chuckled and replied.

"what?"

"8 yen per night?"

Yoshino Yuki pricked up her ears and was immediately stunned!

If we stayed here for a month, wouldn't it cost more than 200 million yen?
"During the accommodation training activities, our dormitory rooms will be in Totsuki Rikyu."

"In other words, as long as you can pass the various assessments of the judges every day, you can stay here for free at night."

Dragging her suitcase, Ryoko Sakaki walked towards the hotel lobby and said to Yoshino.

"Free? Stay here?"

"A dormitory room costs 8 yen a night..."

Hearing Ryouko Sakaki's words, Yoshino Yuki was inevitably surprised and happy.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that this residential training activity might not be so terrible!
Through competition, the real elite forces are screened out.

It is precisely because of the elite education system that Totsuki Academy can only continue to implement various incentive measures.

After all, only the strong ones who survive can gain a sense of competition.

However, doing so often backfires.

Because human greed is endless, once benefits are obtained through competition, incentives become welfare.

The so-called competition mechanism has become a kind of decoration and cannot play its due role.This can be known from the fact that Nakiri Erina, who is the tenth member of the Ten Elites, has often used the school's financial problems as an excuse recently, and has not hesitated to use the Shokugeki Competition to eliminate several research associations.

……

Yoshino Yuki, who probably hasn’t seen much of the world.

As soon as she dragged her suitcase into the lobby, she kept looking around and found that the entire lobby was extremely luxuriously decorated.

The dazzling crystal chandeliers, elegant murals, comfortable sofas and other decorations all reflect the quality of Totsuki Rikyu as a five-star hotel.

"Ding dong, please put your suitcases in the corresponding room numbers for all freshmen participating in the accommodation training activities."

"Then be sure to gather in the lobby again within 20 minutes."

"Ding dong!"

"Notice again."

"Please invite all freshmen participating in residential training activities..."

Just after everyone entered the lobby of Totsuki Rikyu, the radio in the hotel started to ring.

So, everyone followed the regulations and looked for their dormitory rooms.

Although the judge for this year's entrance and transfer examinations is Kobayashi Ritsou, the current second member of the top ten, the evaluation standards are much stricter than in previous years.

But even so, the total number of first-year students entering Totsuki this year is 1023.

More than 1000 people gathered so densely in the lobby of Yueyue Palace, which was naturally a bit scary and a bit depressing.

"It's over."

"Why... why is the atmosphere around me so weird?"

Tian Suo Hui, who was standing among the crowd, had never seen such a scene before?

She was so nervous that her hands and feet were sweating, and her pretty and lovely cheeks gradually turned pale.

In the end, she could only do what she did last time.

Keep writing the word "人" on the palm of your hand, and then make swallowing movements to relieve your own tension!
……

Suddenly, Gin Dojima, the chief chef of Totsuki Resort, appeared on the podium.

All the lights focused on him in an instant, making him the most dazzling presence in the audience!

And his appearance naturally caused a sensation in the entire audience.

"Wow!"

"I don't have dazzling eyes?"

"That...that should be Dojima Gin-senpai?"

"Correct!"

"it's him."

"The legendary graduate with the highest score in the history of Totsuki Academy is also the goal that all Totsuki students want to surpass throughout their lives!"

"Oh my god, I'm so lucky to be able to see his appearance."

"Wow, I'm so excited!"

"I didn't expect that at this residential training event, he would actually... be there!"

Everyone was excited and noisy, expressing their deep admiration for this legendary figure.

"Quiet, no noise allowed!"

Realizing that this frenzied situation was about to become uncontrollable, Dojima Ginyu took the microphone and shouted loudly.

Finally, when the atmosphere in the audience became silent again, he continued to speak: "First of all, welcome to all the new students. I am Gin Dojima, the 69th graduate!"

"This is Yuanyue Resort, it is usually open to the public."

"But the 6-day and 5-night residential training event will still be held here this year."

"So during this period, the entire resort is closed and stopped operating, and all resources here can only serve this training event."

"All in all, this will be your starting point, and it may also be your ending point."

"I hope you can all work hard and strive to pass this training event. I would like to wish you all good luck in martial arts!"

……

In the middle school, the difficulty of courses and the grading of instructors will be very relaxed.

But once you reach the Higher Education Department, even the initial entrance examination, the evaluation standards will become extremely strict.

Therefore, everyone actually knows that this residential training activity is nothing more than an official reshuffle.

Who can survive?

Who was eliminated and forced to drop out of school?
The fate of an individual is naturally unpredictable and impossible to judge.

But they all know in their hearts that only by trying their best can they have a chance of survival, otherwise all their efforts will be wasted.

"Next, I'll ask a few judges to come out and let you all get to know them."

"Well, they have experienced residential training activities like you, but they have successfully graduated after going through various hardships at Totsuki Academy."

"And he began to make a name for himself in the culinary world and gradually became a famous and excellent chef!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked again.

You know, Yuanyue graduates mean that they have stood at the top of Yuanyue.

The achievements they have achieved are beyond the reach of many students in their lifetime.

Therefore, when they heard that the examiners in charge of this residential training event were all former graduates of Yuanyue, many people expressed surprise and excitement.

Kojiro Shinomiya!
Suwon Fuyumi!

Fuck Hinatako!

Guan Shouping!

……

Immediately afterwards, these examiners appeared one after another.

"Sigh~"

"As expected, they are all graduates!"

"Kojiro Shinomiya, Hyugako Inui, and Fuyumi Mizuhara, these people are all cooking celebrities who are active in gourmet magazines!"

"Woooooooo..."

"I never dreamed of it."

"I will have the opportunity to interact with these celebrities in the culinary world."

"It's over. Are these seniors serving as assessors for this residential training event?"

"Yes! If they serve as examiners, I'm afraid many people will fall into their hands."

"It seems like it won't work if you don't show your true skills!"

Shinomiya Kojiro, who had just appeared, had sharp eyes and was looking around at the ant-like crowd below.

Then, his eyes flickered a few times, he picked up the microphone and stood up first, saying loudly: "The one with short dark brown hair and no glasses, yes, that's you!"

"I now declare that you are unqualified and must be sent back to Totsuki Academy for expulsion!"

"What?" The student named by Kojiro couldn't help but be stunned.

He was frightened, but at the same time he was puzzled: "Why? Haven't the training activities started yet? You...you are going to judge me as unqualified?"

"You used hairspray."

"Chefs have many taboos."

"One of the things is that you cannot use items with strong irritating smells, such as perfume and hairspray."

"This will affect and interfere with the chef's sense of smell, leading to wrong judgments about cooking!"

Shinomiya Kojiro said coldly.

When the student heard this, his face turned pale.
