Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 230 Crisis is approaching, Nakiri Thistle's attack

After the Red Leaf Hunting Conference.

Etsuya Eizan was pacing in the office with a gloomy look on his face.

Suddenly, he stopped suddenly, slapped the desk, and said harshly: "This is impossible..."

At this time, no matter how calm he was, he could not calm down the panic in his heart. In the end, he could only sit back half-paralyzed and picked up his cell phone to notify Mimasaku Subaru.

In Totsuki Academy, very few people should know about it.

Midasaku Subaru, who had a dazzling performance in the autumn selection, is actually Eizaneda's right-hand man.

Due to the chicken nugget incident at the "Mozuya" in the original work, performance continued to decline, so much so that Eizaneda became hostile to Soma.

In the third round of the quarterfinals, there was a cooking showdown between Mimasaku Subaru and Yukihira Soma. For Rui Shanzhi, it is the best opportunity for revenge.

However, he overestimated Mimasaku Subaru's imitation ability, and he could only fail again!

……

Soon, a strong man with well-developed limbs appeared.

He appeared in Rui Shanzhi's office quietly.

Although he was very strong, he was as fast as a ghost. Finally, when he looked around and found no one around, he knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in."

Inside, Rui Shanzhi's voice came.

"General, what do you want me to do?"

After Meisaku Subaru came in, he acted respectfully.

It's hard to believe that such a "dog" with a broken backbone would beat other contestants in the autumn selection until they were unable to fight back.

"This is the location of the 56 restaurants under our group. They are all marked on the map."

"Take it back, and then go do an unannounced visit on them all when you have time."

After saying that, Eishan Edazu handed the document to him and motioned for him to take a rough look at it first.

Meisaku Subaru understood, quickly looked at it, and then asked doubtfully: "Are you going to make secret visits to all 56 restaurants?"

"Correct!"

"You are good at tracking and investigating."

"Among all my subordinates, you are the most suitable to do this hard job."

Eizan Ezuya nodded.

"What do you need me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Mimasaku Subaru frowned slightly. If he was asked to investigate one or two restaurants, there would be no problem. But in the end, he was asked to investigate 56 restaurants...

It is absolutely impossible to say that he doesn't feel a headache at this time!

"You go and investigate each of these 56 restaurants. Is there a new high-end restaurant called Subway that has opened nearby?"

"Then, you pretend to be a diner and go in to make a purchase. Investigate all the restaurant's facilities, dining environment, operating model, recipes, income levels of target diners, and other information!"

When Rui Shanzhi said this, he couldn't help clenching his fists, but there was fear in his eyes.

"General, what do you mean..."

"Someone is deliberately trying to bring us down recently?"

Mimasaku Subaru was stunned. Originally, he thought there might be some problem within the group, but now it seems that is not the case.

"Well, it's just for me."

Now that the matter has come to this, Rui Shanzhi no longer intends to hide it.

"Excuse me, let me ask again, who has the ability to check our backgrounds thoroughly in a very short time, and even know the specific locations of 56 restaurants?"

Meisaku Subaru asked curiously.

"I don't know. I investigated it myself first."

"I only found this Subway restaurant. Its headquarters is on Wall Street in the United States."

"Currently, we know very little information about this restaurant, but we can determine that the people who want to defeat us are not within Totsuki."

"This is a good thing, at least now is not the time to start a conflict with the other ten heroes. But this is also a bad thing, because the enemy we face this time is much more terrifying than the ten heroes!"

Having followed Eizan Edazu for some time, Mizusaku Subaru could more or less understand what he said.

In short, this matter may not be as simple as "competition between each other in business". It may also involve Totsuki Academy, no, it is the struggle between the entire Nakiri family and some external force.

"Okay, leave it to me!"

"I will definitely investigate everything within two months."

Finally, after some thought, Meisaku Subaru agreed.

"Two months?"

"By then, the day lilies will probably be cold."

"I only give you half a month, you must take off the other person's underwear for me!"

Hearing this, Rui Shanzhi shook his head and replied in a "non-negotiable" tone.

"Half a month?" Meisaku Subaru's face was full of surprise.

"You should know that this matter may also involve the Nakiri family, so it is an opportunity to make great achievements. It depends on how you seize it."

Eishan Ezu also stood up, came to his side and patted his shoulder lightly, saying calmly.

"Okay, I'll risk my life!"

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Subaru Meisaku can still understand this truth.

Therefore, after weighing it repeatedly, he finally agreed and then completely disappeared from the office.

……

Subway, this English word can be translated as:

Subway!
Five years ago, the restaurant just opened on Wall Street.

At that time, no one could have predicted that today, five years later, this high-end restaurant would have more than 2000 branches across the United States.

Well, that is.

With the rate of opening one new branch every day, it is eroding the entire high-end cuisine market!

The number of its stores has long exceeded that of all other high-end restaurant chains combined.

Subway's popularity is reflected in its sales figures, which have generated approximately $20 billion in sales this year alone.

And the reason why this high-end restaurant is so successful.

It lies in the power behind it:
Middle Village Chamber of Commerce.

Thanks to the financial support of the Chamber of Commerce, Subway Restaurant brings together elite chefs from all over the world.

For example, the executive chef is from France and has nearly 40 years of experience in catering; the head chef has devoted himself to studying cooking skills for 28 years, and is especially good at palace cuisine; and the banquet chef has 20 years of rich experience in exhibition catering production. …

There are even more than a thousand employees with experience in catering services in international brand hotels and convention and exhibition centers.

In short, the restaurant jointly created by various top chefs and the various service forms made this Subway restaurant very popular among the upper class of society!
……

About a month ago.

Calculating the time, it should be when the autumn selection has just begun. The Subway restaurant in the United States suddenly and "low-keyly" entered the neon market in China, causing quite a stir in the entire catering industry.

Moreover, it is very strange that the location of this restaurant is always located near the restaurant controlled by Totsuki Juge Ruiyama Ezuya.

As an "outside household", it should have been acclimated to the local environment, but Rui Shanzhi never expected:
Since the emergence of this restaurant, the sales of his 56 restaurants have begun to drop significantly, which has been a big blow.

This also allowed him to see the terrible place of this Subway restaurant!
……

Wall Street, a narrow street in Manhattan.

It is a symbol of the global financial community and the birthplace of countless financial dreams. It has witnessed the changes in the financial market.

Here, money and power are intertwined, dreams and reality collide, creating one financial legend after another.

At this moment, a high-rise building adopts modern design concepts and outlines a unique outline with simple and smooth lines.

The glass curtain wall, metal frame and modern decorative elements make this high-rise building shine at dusk and become an integral part of the city skyline.

Hold the stem of the glass with your fingertips, put your fingers together with an extremely elegant gesture, and then slowly take a sip of the red wine in the glass. Finally, under the influence of alcohol, Nakiri Thistle's mind was temporarily relieved, forgetting the troubles and sorrows of the world!
Good food can definitely comfort the soul.

It is not a "simple pleasure of the mouth and tongue". It makes you feel happy when you eat it, and your stomach is full, but you still have more to eat.

The same goes for drinking. An important indicator of the quality of wine is the aftertaste.

The term "long aftertaste" is an essential feature of any good wine. The better the wine, the more delicate, mellow and long the aftertaste will be.

……

"You mean."

"The recent business performance of Subway restaurants in Neon Country has exceeded our original expectations?"

Afterwards, the calm Nakiri Kiku slowly opened his eyes, exhaled the smell of alcohol, and asked the secretary next to him.

"Yes, report to President Nakamura."

"In all the branches there, the sales have almost exceeded the quota!"

When the secretary heard this, he quickly responded.

"Well, we made such a big noise, what's the noise at Totsuki Academy?"

Nakiri Kiku's eyes became deep, and there was no joy or compassion on his face. Instead, he was silent for a while before continuing to ask.

"Not at the moment. It should be that they are busy organizing the autumn selection competition right now, so they have no time to stir up the turmoil in the entire catering industry."

"There's none?"

Nagi cuts thistle, seeming a little surprised.

But when he thought about the importance of the autumn selection, he felt relieved a little!
According to convention, the top ten players are responsible for running the entire autumn selection, so let alone the general manager, even top ten players like Eizan Edazu will definitely be extremely busy.

"Continue to pay attention to the situation over there. If you find that Eizan Edazu has also taken action, report it to me as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, Nagiri Thistle said this.

"Yes, President!"

The secretary naturally agreed.

"If nothing happens, just go down and leave me alone for now."

Finally, the secretary responded and left.

……

Base of world population.

It has been decided long ago that nothing you do will be easy, and serious involution has occurred in all walks of life.

The 80/20 rule just shows that, no matter it is a top industry or an industry with low entry barriers, there will always be a small number of outstanding people, and the ones who make money are also the top people!

Yuanyue's goal in the past was to completely eliminate this group of 80% people.

Ah!
Of course.

The elimination rate is definitely more than 80%
This is indeed cruel for an ideal chef.

Although a true genius will not stop moving forward just because he loses the platform and resources of "Totsuki Academy".

Moreover, many students are often people whose families have property, and their resources are not short, and they will not be buried. The most typical example is:

Mito Yumei!

If she drops out of school, she can go back and inherit the family business.

Even if there is a lack of creativity and forward momentum, at least they will not starve to death.

Therefore, there was a time when Nakiri Thistle also believed in the educational policy of "survival of the fittest".

It wasn't until Joichiro's collapse led to him dropping out of school that he realized that Totsuki's educational policy might be wrong. At the same time, he is also full of hatred for the entire decadent culinary world!
……

these years.

His cooking philosophy is just one:
Cooking is either food or feed!

In his eyes, all chefs should be like the French, with a romantic and elegant temperament.

And the cooking you make should also bring out your own nature to the fullest. You should be picky about delicious food, sophisticated in ingredients, demanding in cooking, and strict in etiquette, and you should achieve the most exquisite and perfect state!
Only in this way can we be considered an excellent chef and a real cook!
all in all.

Cuisine is definitely a high-end term.

It is also his understanding that inferior ingredients cannot make delicious food.

With the development of food trends, chefs who cater to the tastes of ordinary people have been using ordinary ingredients to make their cuisine more and more popular.

He will never tolerate it!

Over the years, he has gradually eroded this idea throughout the United States through various means.

After that, his plan was to open the gate of Neon Kingdom first and return to Totsuki, so Eizan Edazu, who was the ninth of the Ten Elites, was naturally his target.

Only by controlling these ten heroes could he successfully launch a coup in Totsuki and integrate the resources of the Nakiri family.

Then go one step further and dominate the entire culinary world!
……

Correct!
His ultimate goal is to become a leader in the culinary world.

Only with the help of Yuanyue's platform, he could control the group of Yuanyue students and not allow them to innovate independently unless they entered the central team.

In this way, it is equivalent to the second generation controlling the catering industry in Neon Country.

Once they graduate, it means that they will not be able to inherit their own characteristics and can only cook the dishes provided by the hub.

After a few years, he will finally control the entire catering industry. From now on, whatever others want to eat must be done according to his wishes.

For those in the upper echelons who are not qualified to taste high-end cuisine, we only give them "feed", which is:
Revenge plan!

……

Of course, he knew it too.

There will definitely be many difficulties in realizing this great plan.

First of all, Erina, who has the talent of God's Tongue, must be used as a key to serve as a guidepost for the cook during the exploration process.

As for why relying on personal will and forcibly unifying cuisine will lead to the disappearance of many classic or distinctive dishes.

He doesn't care!
"Erina, we will see each other again soon."

"Believe me, Dad, I will prove to the world that God's Tongue is not a curse, but a powerful ability that can lead and change the culinary world!"

Nakiri Thistle's eyes were sharp and he said.
