Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Everything can be curried.

When the nearly 15-inch plate was brought to the table, the chicken steak was spread overflowing.

Combined with rice and salad, it was enough to make the Alba monk almost unable to walk on his feet.

Although the curry chicken cutlet rice is not a complicated dish and is very simple, Joichiro has made every element perfect.

Fresh chunks of chicken cutlet, wrapped in fine bread crumbs, fried to a crispy golden color without any oil on your hands.

When you take a sip, there is a "click" sound.

The abundant gravy spurts out, hot and fresh. It is a taste that will make people sigh with relief and be deeply moved.

The rice, without exaggeration, is definitely the best Alba has ever tasted.

What is used is the short, small, round and fat sushi rice, which is cooked until the grains are crystal clear and translucent.

But it is not hard when chewed, it is elastic, slightly sticky, and the mouth is full of moist and lingering rice fragrance.

Finally, there is the curry.

Japanese home-cooked taste, refreshing and slightly sweet, not sticky or greasy.

Wrapped around a riced chicken cutlet, it's a lovely golden brown and glistening.

Even the salad is not simple. The lettuce and purple cabbage are cut into thin strips, so tender that you can pinch the water.

The mayonnaise is also made by Joichiro. It is not too thick or too sweet. When you mix it together and eat it, it will not fall apart after the meal is finished, and it is as delicious as ever!

……

Eating a good meal can indeed change a person's "beliefs".

At this time, looking at the empty big plate in front of him, Alba was still not satisfied and couldn't help but said happily: "This is the kind of food that can give people hope, Joichiro!"

"Master, are you satisfied now?"

Joichiro asked softly with a smile on his face.

"Satisfied, so satisfied. I can't imagine eating the food you cook again in this life!"

Alba sighed, and then he recalled the scene when he and Saiha first met, and finally asked curiously: "Joichiro, where have you been all these years?"

"Go back to Neon Country, where I run a catering restaurant with my son."

Joichiro had no expression on his face. He seemed to be using the gentlest tone to calmly talk about his experiences of more than 10 years.

"You have a son?"

"Master, I am nearly forty years old, and my son is 16 years old this year, right?" Joichiro shrugged helplessly.

"Really, nearly 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

When Monk Alba heard this, he sighed deeply again.

……

Bang!

At this time, the heavy door was slowly pushed open.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, a mysterious young man wearing a thick black mask and a peaked cap slowly walked in with heavy steps.

His appearance immediately caused a commotion in the entire audience.

Especially the fierce and domineering aura on his body made many people present almost breathless.

"For this guest, our hotel adopts a reservation system."

"If you don't make a reservation in advance, you can't come in privately."

The visitor was not a good person, and when he thought of the late-night waiter incident that had caused panic recently, the staff here reacted one after another and hurriedly stepped forward to drive him out.

"Go away! If you don't want to die, stay away from me." The masked man stopped and scolded.

Then, he pulled the mask slightly.

His eyes stared like sharp swords, and his aura was like that of a tiger that hadn't eaten its lunch, making everyone around him even more frightened!

The staff were so frightened that they took a few steps back. For some reason, they could feel an ominous premonition of despair when facing this mysterious masked man.

"Hey!"

"Who are you?"

"This is a five-star hotel. Only famous people like us are qualified to come in."

One diner was still a little scared in his heart, but finally mustered up the courage to slam the table and shout angrily at the masked man.

"qualifications?"

"That's it. Then introduce yourself."

"I am the leader of late-night cooks, and I am also a chef in the dark cuisine world recognized by the WGO Food Organization."

"I wonder if you are qualified to enter this hotel with this status?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell into silence.

Everyone just stared at the masked man in stunned silence.

After all, whenever anyone talks about cooking late into the night, everyone's face changes drastically and they become panicked.

But who would have thought that in such a remote mountainous area, there would be a BOSS-level boss who cooks people late at night!

Moreover, he is so young. Could it be that the person who turned the entire culinary world upside down was actually a young man?

Could it be that all the experienced chefs were really helpless against him?

……

"what?"

"Are you the late night cook?"

"The masked man, wearing a cape and a peaked cap...this image is indeed as described in the rumors."

"He...he is really a late-night cook!"

"Strange, aren't they active in Northern Europe, America, and Southeast Asia?"

"No, your news is lagging behind. The power of these late-night cooks has already spread to central Europe."

"Especially in France now, famous restaurants everywhere are being brutally killed by them."

"It is said that even Shinomiya's SHINO'S restaurant has been forced to close down. Shinomiya's whereabouts are now unknown. He probably ran back to the Neon Country?"

"Fourth Palace? Is he the first Neon countryman to win the Medal of Prussia?"

"Oh my God, why did he even lose to the late-night cook?"

For a time, everyone was talking about it.

"interesting."

"Your target should be me, right?"

"It seems that I have underestimated you late-night cooks after all. You can even investigate my whereabouts clearly."

Looking at the masked boy in front of him, Saiba Joichiro knew what was going on even if he was a fool.

"Yes, as expected of Joichiro."

"If you are sensible, just sign this contract for the Shikama Duel."

The masked boy didn't waste any time and took out a contract directly from his pocket. But just as he was about to step forward and hand it to Joichiro, he was stopped by the Alba monk next to him: "Young man, the Buddha said that the heart Have good thoughts, speak good words, and do good deeds.”

"The fact that you can lead the entire dark cooking world at such a young age proves that you are indeed a rare genius with talent and ability."

"But he has the ability to reach heaven, but he does not follow the right path, but does evil things..."

"Old man, have you finished speaking?"

"I don't care about good or evil. My purpose in coming here is just to defeat Saiba Joichiro and stand at the top of the world's culinary world."

"If anyone dares to stop or hinder my plan, then don't blame me..."

"Master, please step aside for now."

"I, Joichiro, am destined to be unable to escape from this fight with the late-night cook!"

Seeing this, Joichiro could only stand up and said seriously.

"Well, Joichiro, let me teach him a lesson and show him how good the world's best chef is?"

Alba nodded, then stepped aside, leaving space for Joichiro and the masked man.    …

"Huh, how arrogant."

"That's right, a guy with no hair at all dares to challenge Joichiro?"

"I just won Shinomiya Kojiro and yet he is so frivolous and arrogant. Sure enough, he is still too young and energetic, not calm at all."

"Correct!"

"Joichiro."

"You have to take action well and give him some color."

At this moment, in the hotel kitchen, Saiba Joichiro was holding a kitchen knife tightly, and the knife shone with a cold light under the light.

As the strongest person in Totsuki, as a true pioneer of cuisine and a pioneer of delicious food, Joichiro undoubtedly has high hopes from everyone, and he also undoubtedly makes the masked man on the other side feel the pressure!

"do you know?"

"I have been waiting for this day for five years!"

After saying that, the masked man took out a slightly worn kitchen knife from the knife box.

"Five years?"

Joichiro was stunned.

Then, he saw the kitchen knife in the masked man's hand.

The lazy eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of disbelief: "This knife..."

"I see, I didn't expect it to be you."

"In just a few years, have you grown to the point where you can command the entire dark cooking world?"

His mind suddenly returned to five years ago. When he parted with Chaoyang Zaiba, he gave him the kitchen knife he used as a student as a gift, and hoped that he would work hard with his heart as a father. !

"Yes, in the past five years, I have defeated countless people with your kitchen knife."

"And now this kitchen knife will come back to bite you, and you will eventually be defeated by your own kitchen knife."

"In fact, no matter what kind of chef I face, I have always taken Caibo as my surname. On the one hand, I am grateful for your training in me. On the other hand, I always think that you are the strongest in the world." The cook."

"Caibo, this last name is the last name I should have!"

The masked man stared closely at the kitchen knife in his hand and muttered to himself.

……

Meanwhile, at the izakaya.

Erina, who had just bought ingredients from the nearby vegetable and meat market, couldn't wait to come to Zhang Fan's room.

Then, she took a copy of the recently popular comic book "Slaves of the Elite Soldiers of the Magic City" and lay lazily on the bed, reading it with relish.

"So there is a corresponding price to pay for using slaves, right?"

"And why is this price... why is it all about lewd things?"

"The author is really honest. The battle scenes are well drawn, but even the kissing scenes are so heart-pounding!"

As she watched, she blushed, and every time she recalled the time when the heroine and the hero were lying on the ground, hugging each other, and kissing each other deeply...

Well, she wanted to continue reading even more.

They say that men are like mangoes. They look yellow on the outside, but they are even more yellow on the inside.

And a woman is like an egg, she looks pure white on the outside, but yellower than anything else on the inside!

Therefore, we can't blame Erina. At her age, which girl hasn't secretly read such comic books?

Finally, time is fleeting.

When Erina turned to the last page of the comic book, she was stunned.

"Gone? Why did it disappear at the critical moment?"

"Oh, it would be great if Fei Shasha was by my side. After all, if she is here, she can go buy the next volume for me."

"By the way, can't all these dog authors be more diligent?"

"24 hours a day, can't we update it day and night?"

Afterwards, Erina, who felt bored, kept rolling around on the bed, not knowing how cute her current behavior was.

"It's really boring. I really want to know how the heroine felt after doing something like that?"

After saying that, Erina's face was so red that she almost bled.

As someone who possesses the ability of God's Tongue, she has never thought about one question before, and that is:

What would happen if I kissed a boy?

"Yes, in the end...what will happen?"

Erina, clutching the quilt next to her tightly, muttered to herself in embarrassment.

She couldn't help but picture Zhang Fan's handsome face in her mind, and finally she couldn't help but enlarge it several times to make up for his beautiful and natural lip line!

"What's wrong with me?"

"Is it true that deep down, I also long for that kind of thing?"

Gradually, Erina became even more confused!

……

Time, three full hours have passed.

Under the mountain peak, in a luxurious and exquisite building, in the kitchen.

When the results of the cooking review from both sides came out, everyone was completely shocked and could not recover for a long time.

Lost?

Really lost?

Known as the best contemporary chef, his strength is higher than that of all Totsuki students.

What's more, the strong Saiba Joichiro, known as "Shura" and "Wandering Chef", actually lost?

At this moment, the whole kitchen was as quiet as death, and the whole place was as quiet as death. Everyone held their breath and looked at the masked man in disbelief.

"is that a lie?"

"It's impossible, there could be such a thing!"

"All five judges voted for the masked man, and Joichiro didn't even get a single vote."

"This 5:0 result is simply too tragic, right?"

"what happened?"

"We are recognized as the strongest chef and the best cook, how could Caibo lose..."

"Caibo, are you okay?"

At this moment, Saiba Joichiro, who had just finished the cooking duel competition, collapsed directly on the floor, as if he had lost all strength.

Seeing this scene, Monk Alba hurried forward, came to him and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm just too tired."

"I have been working hard cooking for three hours, and my body is a bit overwhelmed."

He weakly raised his hand slightly to signal that everyone should not worry. Only then did Joichiro focus on the masked man over there: "You won. You are indeed better than the old!"

"Hey, who are you?"

Alba asked with lingering fear, pointing at the masked man.

"I?"

"Caibo Chaoyang."

The masked man tore off the mask and said calmly.

Caibo? This seems to be the surname from the Neon Country, right?

And the surname Saiba is the same as Saiba Joichiro... Wait, is he Joichiro's son? (End of chapter)
