There is indeed a problem with my summoning spirit system

Chapter 117. 115. Flame Ceremony
"Being able to defeat Kuaga Teruki-senpai's Chinese cuisine is no small challenge."

After hearing Li Xiang's words, Xing Ping Chuangzhen touched his chin, thinking about what he should do.

"I remember that the store opened by you, Chuangzhen, mainly sells pepper cakes and pasta."

"Yes, actually from the very beginning I had the idea of ​​a head-to-head confrontation with Kuga-senpai. But now I find that my store is not attractive enough to customers."

"After all, Jiuwo Zhaoji is one of the ten heroes of Yuanyue, and his influence outside the school is much stronger than yours. Many customers even come here from afar. It is difficult for you to attract these loyal customers who come to Jiuwo Zhaoji Yes. But there are still some customers who got to know Kuwa Hotel through the other party’s publicity during the school festival. If you want to snatch customers from the other party, you must start with the needs of these customers.”

"Speaking of which, I remember that there was always a long queue at the door of Kuaga-senpai's restaurant, and most of the customers had to wait for a long time before they could eat. Obviously Kuaga-senpai has trained so many people who can perfectly copy his own cuisine, but the customers You still have to wait in line and it takes a long time.”

"Having a high reputation also has its disadvantages. Although Teruki Kuaga attracts a large number of customers, the customers come to dine, not just to see and leave. Even if Teruki Kuaga and his team can order all the customers in one second After the dishes are done, it will take at least 15 minutes for each guest to finish their meal. The room area that everyone can use during the school festival is limited, and Kuga Terunori doesn't have enough seats in his hotel."

Hearing Li Xiang's analysis, Xing Ping Chuangzhen finally figured out what he hadn't figured out before.After he understood, his eyes lit up:
"I understand, as long as my store can provide food that is not inferior to Kuuga-senpai's quality, I can divert my senior's customers away!"

"Wait, it's not enough if the quality is just the same as the other party. The guests that Kuga Teruki attracts are all those who want to taste Sichuan cuisine. Your cuisine must be Sichuan cuisine, or at least have the characteristics of 'ma' and ' It’s the spicy element that attracts them.”

"Well! I understand that the 'Sichuan Cuisine' that can compete head-on with Senior Kuga, although I don't have a clue yet, but there are still a few days before the end of the Moon Festival, I still have a chance! Thank you Emiya. I will go back to cook Yes. Remember to check for me after I make the finished product!"

As expected by Li Xiang, Xing Ping Chuangzhen really chose the second option, which is to turn Jiuga Zhaoji head-on.

Xing Ping Soma left in a rage.Seeing his energetic look, Li Xiang smiled helplessly.

Originally, he planned to teach him the "Magic Mapo Tofu" he had researched and restored.

But if you think about it from another angle, I guess the other party won't accept such help from you.

Li Xiang has already anticipated his choice, and the plot information of the original work is one aspect.In his opinion, the reason why Xingping Chuangzhen can become the protagonist is because of his courage to face any difficulties, the diligence of never giving up, and his indifference in the face of doubts from others.

Although Xing Ping Chuangzhen has a dark belly, he is a straightforward and upright person on the whole. Since he wants to challenge Kuga Teruki, he must rely on his own strength.It is one thing to ask classmates for help, but it is not something he is willing to do to defeat his enemies with other people's recipes.

As described in the original work, Soma Yukihira has never been a genius. Needless to say, Erina Nakiri, who has the "Tongue of God" and is the heir to a cooking family; Ryo Hayama, the "Nose of God", has also followed the spice authority since childhood. Professor Xi Jianrun was studying; as for Li Xiang himself, if he didn't have a system-enabled plug-in, he wouldn't have the capital to compete with these geniuses.

Yukihira Soma is very lucky. At least his father is a good teacher and gave him a very good cooking foundation.But what Yukihira Souma learned from his father was only the cooking skills that could be inherited at the level of a small restaurant.

What's more, Huaxia's many years of education practice has proved that if the students don't work hard, no matter how good the teacher is, it is of little use.

After entering Yuanyue, especially after the autumn selection and field training, his culinary skills have even improved by leaps and bounds to the level of the top ten.

Behind the brilliance, only he himself knows how much sweat Xing Ping Chuangzhen has put in and how many sleepless days and nights.

Li Xiang patted his face so hard that he even left two bright red slap marks.

"I have a father and medicine and yet I'm still working so hard. I can't continue to fish. Work, work, work!"

Li Xiang got up and walked quickly back to his store. On the open space, all the miscellaneous things such as the fire and ingredients had been prepared.

"There are so many firewood piled up here, is it going to hold a bonfire party?"

"Probably not. If we really want to do it, Yi Yuanyue's handwriting will definitely not just light such a small fire."

"I heard from a waiter in the ninth seat of Yuanyue Shijie next to the fire. They said that there will be a special event here tonight, so I came here."

"Are you too? What a coincidence, I went to that store today. Speaking of which, the food in that store is really good. I will go again tomorrow if I have a chance."

During the day today, Li Xiang not only notified the guests who came to eat in his restaurant, but also arranged for people to distribute leaflets around the campus.And Nakiri Senzaemon, who knew what Li Xiangxiang was going to do, also gave great support. Even the guidebook issued by the school clearly stated that there would be a special evening event here tonight.

Although the number of people who came was a bit large, it showed that the publicity work had successfully achieved its effect. Next, it was time for him to conquer these audiences with his fire performance.

Li Xiang took the loudspeaker and stood in the middle of the unlit firewood pile.His appearance attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.

"Everyone, listen to me."

After saying something loudly, Li Xiang paused briefly to make sure everyone was quiet and looking at him before continuing.

"Presumably everyone was attracted to come here by the flyers in our store. I am the person in charge of this special event tonight, and I am also the chef. Emiya is currently the ninth seat of Yuanyue Shijie."

"The reason why I brought you here is to invite you to taste a special barbecue dish. The process of making this dish is very interesting, and you will know it after reading it."

"In order to ensure everyone's safety, please step back behind the white line drawn in advance on the ground. The activity will begin immediately."

Li Xiang took off his shirt, revealing his muscles that were clearly made of steel.The golden-proportioned body caused some young female guests to scream.

The flame, burning again.Compared with the previous two times, the flames this time were more violent and the scene was more grand.

On the red lotus stage, the Fire Demon King waved iron chains, and the intense aroma scattered with waves of heat.

The guests who came to the scene tonight may never forget this scene.

The flames soaring into the sky illuminated the sweat on the young man's body, and the waving iron chains drew up bursts of fragrant wind. From time to time, a grilled fish shining with yellow light would be thrown up, and then land on the dinner plate accurately.

The first person to grab the grilled fish was Kobayashi Gendan, who had been waiting by the dinner plate for a long time.

Although he was the second among the top ten, Kobayashi Rientan did not open a shop during the Moon Festival.She wants to try all 120 restaurants in the school during the five days of the Moon Festival.

From a certain point of view, she is the only student of Totsuki who is really enjoying the school festival.

"Wow, that looks delicious."

Kobayashi Gendan couldn't wait to eat bit by bit with his chopsticks, so he picked up a chopstick and inserted the fish from head to tail, and gnawed on it.

After a mouthful of fish meat entered his stomach, Kobayashi Ringtong, who had always praised the delicious food, was stunned.

It's not that it's not delicious, but it's too delicious for words.

This is a dish that even the executive officer of WGO, Nakiri Managi, who has the tongue of God, has given approval. Li Xiang has more experience in making it for the third time, and with the help of Nakiri Erina, the dish now tastes even better. Going up the next floor, if Nagiri Nakiri tasted it again, he would probably define this dish as a two-star dish.

Ringtong Kobayashi could vaguely feel that the grilled fish he was tasting had a stronger impact on him than the dishes of Si Yingshi, the first of the Ten Elites.

Contrary to Si Yingshi who completely erased his own traces in the cooking, this dish is full of the chef's personal imprint everywhere, and Kobayashi Rondan can even feel the chef's enthusiasm when cooking.However, she had to admit that if the Si Yingshi's dishes she had tasted were the whispers of the ingredients, then the fish in her hand now was the dragon's song that jumped into the dragon's gate after being calcined by the real fire of Samadhi!

Under the leadership of Gendan Kobayashi, many diners also let go of their modesty and decency in front of the delicious food, put on the plastic disposable gloves provided by the organizer, grabbed the grilled fish and ate big pieces.

Even the shops in the Linshan area can clearly see the flames soaring into the sky.

"What is that, when will Yuanyue hold a bonfire party during the school festival? No way! There is another person in the fire! Is there an accident?"

A customer who was dining in Nakiri Erina's store saw the firelight under the mountain from the window.

"That's a special way of cooking. Emiya, the ninth member of the Totsuki Ten Elites, is cooking there. If the guests are interested in trying it, my store has a cooperative relationship with him and can have someone deliver it for you to taste. .”

Nakiri Erina glanced at the flames below the mountain, and immediately understood what happened. She put down the kitchen utensils in her hand, walked to the customer's table and explained to the customer with a smile.

Li Xiang had already communicated with Erina before the Moon Festival, and after some discussions, the two of them finally decided to cooperate with each other.

The customer just asked Erina: "Is that so? What kind of food is that?"

"A grilled fish dish. I use my sense of taste to guarantee that it is definitely a delicious dish. By the way, our store has installed a camera at the scene. Would this guest want to see the cooking scene?"

"What, there's a live broadcast? It's interesting. It seems that there is really a cooperation. Can you let me see it?"

"Of course, Fei Saezi, turn on the projector."

Erina turned around and gestured to Hisako Nito, who was working as a cook in her store. Hisako understood, took out a remote control, and turned on the projection equipment in the center of the store.

On the silver screen, Li Xiang was waving eight iron chains in the flames.

"It's really an incredible cooking method. Since Ms. 'God's Tongue' has given positive reviews, how can I not try it as a self-proclaimed gourmet? Please give me a piece."

"Me too, give me one too."

Many guests' curiosity was aroused after seeing the image.And this plays into Li Xiang and Erina's hands.

After Li Xiang's Tianxiong Blazing Herring was delivered to Erina's store, the price was ten times more expensive than the price given by the diners at the foot of the mountain.

It is foreseeable that after tonight, Li Xiang will definitely make a lot of money.

However, at this time, Nakiri Erina couldn't help but look at the flames below the mountain with some concern.

The Moon Festival is not only a school festival in Totsuki, but also a grand food carnival with a customer flow of 50. Considering the number of guests, Li Xiang would have to stay in the blazing flames for at least two hours. Not so much this It is a huge test of physical strength, or rather, it is simply a suicide attempt that breaks through the limits of human beings.

Although Li Xiang has repeatedly said that he can do it, Erina always feels that he is in a state of turmoil.

"I hope there won't be any accidents."

Erina repeated silently in her heart.

Unlike Erina, the diners at the scene were simply having a carnival.

The table with grilled fish was surrounded by people in three circles inside and three circles outside.If it weren't for the staff desperately maintaining order,
In addition to diners, many reporters from major food weekly magazines also fell into a state of carnival.Even the noise of the crowd could not cover up the sound of the shutter and the scraping of the pen tip on the notebook.

Originally, they just came to the scene to report on the scene of the Yueyue Festival in Yuanyue Academy as usual, but they didn't expect to find such a surprise on the first night.

In Yuanyue Academy, there are actually some students who can use such unconstrained cooking methods to make dishes that even experienced food column reporters can't fault.

How else can I find fault?No modern equipment such as an oven is used at all, not even coal is used, only firewood is used, and the surface of the fish is not burnt at all.The combination of sauce and fish is close to 100% perfect, and the surface and internal heat of the fish are both perfect.

A reporter who is also a food critic even said that this is the limit that grilled fish dishes can achieve.

A magician who manipulates flames?The Fire Demon King?Or Salamanda?Many reporters have already begun to think about how to create an eye-catching title for tomorrow's headlines.

No wonder these reporters are so excited, this scene is too shocking.

The chef seemed to be dancing in the flames of the red lotus, and with the night sky in the background, these on-site reporters didn’t even need to spend much effort to find the angle, as long as they aligned the focus and pressed the shutter, they could take a perfect photo.

Nakiri Senzaemon, who planned behind it, was also very satisfied at this time.

Li Xiang's flame magic raised the fame and popularity of the Moon Festival again.Many customers who were about to leave re-entered Yuanyue, wanting to have a closer look at this scenic spot.And as the news was disclosed by reporters, the passenger flow in the next few days will usher in another round of soaring.

The average total number of visitors to the Moon Festival over the years has reached 50, but how many will it be this time?
Nakiri Senzaemon began to look forward to the grand occasion of Totsuki.
