There is indeed a problem with my summoning spirit system

Chapter 121 119. The Chain Meter

On the second day after the Totsuki Academy Festival, with the support of the board of directors, Nakiri Ji was successfully elected as the new head coach of Totsuki Academy.

"As for the position of the successor to the commander-in-chief of Totsuki, I took it with full sincerity and fear. The achievements of the previous commander-in-chief, Mr. Nakiri Senzaemon, were obvious to all. If I made a move during my tenure Most of my achievements are due to the fact that the old gentleman has laid a solid enough foundation for me..."

In the succession declaration, Nakiri Ji was very low-key and modest.

But this has nothing to do with Li Xiang. After confirming that the other party will succeed the next commander-in-chief Totsuki, he gave up going to school and is now discussing the next course of action with Senzaemon.

"Ji plans to set up a central gourmet organization with Yuanyue as the center, and hand over the development of new dishes to a group of 'excellent chefs' selected by him. Other chefs only need to follow the will of the central gourmet organization and learn from the central gourmet organization. Just the food.”

When Li wanted to ask Senzaemon why the board of directors supported Nakiri Thistle as the new commander-in-chief, the old man gave this answer.

"His proposal will undoubtedly reduce the amount of money invested in the development of new dishes and new dishes. The cost of training students will also be greatly reduced, because in the talent training cost of Totsuki Academy, students will experiment with the ingredients of new dishes Losses have always been big."

Senzaemon analyzed briefly.

In fact, it is far more than that. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone only learns ready-made dishes, and the elimination rate of Yuanyue will definitely be greatly reduced, so that the course time can be reduced a lot.There is no need to hold activities such as the Moon Festival and the autumn selection. While reducing costs, it can "produce" more chef talents.

Reducing costs and increasing output are what capitalists love most.

However, both Li Xiang and Xianzaemon can see the trap.

The reason why Yuanyue can have such a great influence in the culinary world is because of Yuanyue's strict elimination system.

Let all students learn ready-made recipes, which means that Yuanyue has been downgraded from a school that does not follow the usual path and only trains elite chefs with creative talents to a school that trains general chef talents in batches.

For Nakiri Thistle, he was able to realize his vision of revolutionizing the world of chefs.All students in Totsuki learn recipes that he considers to be "gourmet foods".Through these students, his influence as the leader of the central gastronomic organization will be greatly enhanced.

As far as the board of directors is concerned, the management policy of Natsuki Ji can bring more profits. The operation of Yuanyue Academy has never been a profitable project. From the perspective of these board members, Yuanyue Academy may even be closed altogether. , Relying on the resorts and hotels under the Yuanyue brand, they can earn more money without the school, a bottomless pit that swallows money.

For the Yuanyue Shijie who supported him, they could join the central gourmet organization under the command of Nakiri Ji, and they could get more support than before in the study of cooking.

And for some students who barely survived in Yuanyue by virtue of luck, the method of cutting thistle increased their chances of graduation, which was also beneficial.

Those who are really suppressed are those students who are talented in culinary arts, but not the top students.

The practice of cutting thistle is tantamount to treating them the same as the students at the bottom of the crane.

Li Xiang and Nakiri Senzaemon both saw very clearly what kind of bad impact this new system would have on Yuanyue.

"Commander, now that the situation has reached such a point, I can make three suggestions to you."

"Oh?" Senzaemon raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it?"

"The first suggestion is to let nature take its course and do nothing. Because you are no longer the commander-in-chief of Totsuki, it is better to let him go with Nagi Kirihisa's reforms. If he does not do well, we will naturally We can attack him; even if his changes make the consortium successful in making profits, the Nakiri family, which owns a large number of shares in the Totsuki Group, can still make a lot of money."

Nakiri Senzae had no expression on his face,

"Well, what are the other two suggestions?"

"The second suggestion is to use our strength to confront the opponent head-on. Although Nakiri Ji won the support of the board of directors and received 5 votes from the ten elites, there are still five other ten elites who oppose his reform. At present, if he wants to promote the reform, he will inevitably face the opposition of the other five members of the Top Ten, as well as the general manager and shareholders such as Dojima Yin who supports the general manager. It is very difficult to make progress in the reform. If he can make progress in this process If we can find each other's flaws, we can regain the advantage."

"And the third suggestion is a bit risky."

"It's okay, let's go on."

"The appearance of Nakiriji, although it has seized the power of the commander-in-chief in Yuanyue Academy, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Li Xiang took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat due to speaking,

"Decades ago, the head coach took the lead to establish Yuanyue. After decades of development, Yuanyue has finally become a world-renowned culinary school and a group including a large number of catering industries."

"It can be guessed that many members of the board of directors used to be the heroes of Yuanyue's establishment. However, after a long time, these former heroes no longer support the commander-in-chief, and have their own ideas. The foundation for the establishment and development of Yuanyue , and they no longer have a clear understanding."

"Nagijiji's seizure of power this time, although Yuanyue's management power has been left behind, it is also an opportunity for you, the commander-in-chief, to break through and stand up."

"Oh? That's very interesting. Go on."

Senzaemon's eyes lit up.

"Commander, you can build a new school. Mr. Dojima Yin and some teachers in Yuanyue still support your teaching policy. Commander-in-Chief, you have been operating in Yuanyue for so many years. Some alumni who graduated from Yuanyue may also I will support you. As long as you have enough initial investment, the establishment of the new school will be very smooth. Afterwards, as long as you can beat the opponent in actual operation. Or in other words, cultivate a group of new generation chefs who are more brilliant than the opponent, Nakiri Thistle's gourmet empire will collapse on its own."

"What you call a new generation of chefs, I'm afraid you are referring to yourself?"

Nakiri Senzaemon took a meaningful look at Li Xiang.

Nakiri Senzaemon was old and mature, and Li Xiang didn't feel that his thoughts could be hidden from the other party. He looked at the old man frankly and admitted:
"I am very confident in myself. I believe that the general manager who has tasted my dishes should also have considerable confidence in me. What's more, Aunt Mana once gave me affirmation."

"Of course, Commander-in-Chief, you don't need to pin all your hopes on me. As far as I know, there are still many students among the current students who would not agree with the reform. These people are not weak, how about It is said that these students are the most talented members of Yuanyue's current class of students. If we can get their support, the plan will be more secure."

"Although your suggestion is indeed very risky, it does sound somewhat possible."

Although Nakiri Senzaemon is old, he has been exercising for a long time and his body is still strong.The mentality is still as aggressive as when I was young.

After repeated thinking, he finally agreed to Li Xiang's suggestion.

The two discussed the details of the establishment of the school. Although Li Xiang gave his own suggestions, he could only make suggestions for specific implementation. Most of the details still need to rely on Senzaemon's experience and knowledge.

After some discussions, the plan was finally finalized.

"Commander, I'm a soft-spoken person, and these tasks will trouble you."

"It doesn't matter. I didn't realize Nakamura Ji's wolfish ambitions in advance and caused Erina to suffer that kind of experience. I didn't think carefully."

Senzaemon smiled wryly.

"Then, Emiya, you can do what you want. Speaking of which, every time I see you young people, I feel that we are old. In the future, we still need to be handed over to you young people."

"Commander, you are joking. Commander, you have been in charge of Yuanyue for so many years, and your achievements are obvious to all. We still have a lot to learn!"

Li Xiang complimented politely, and Nakiri Senzaemon made a gesture to signal Li Xiang not to continue.

"Excessive modesty is hypocrisy. In my opinion, Emiya, you think wildly and always come up with solutions. You are also capable, and you are definitely not a thing in the pool. In the future, Erina, I will need more help from you."

"Emiya has received a lot of favors from the Nakiri family. You don't need to tell me, Commander-in-Chief, that I will try my best to help the Nakiri family overcome this difficulty. Commander-in-Chief, I'm going to make preparations. I'll excuse you now."

"Well, you go."

That night, Nakiri Ji pushed open the door of Erina's room, only to find that it was not Erina in the room, but Li Xiang who had been sitting on a chair in the middle of the room and waiting for a long time.

"Uncle Ji, good evening? Although you are Miss Erina's father, isn't it a bad idea to break into a young girl's room at night?"

"Emiya, why are you here?"

The plan was interrupted, the situation changed suddenly, Nakirji remained unhurried, and closed the door of the room with his backhand.It seems that Li Xiang's appearance has long been expected.

"Although you are very capable, uncle, you cannot change the fact that you joined the Nakiri family as a son-in-law. Therefore, the custody of Erina actually belongs to Aunt Managi. Just now, I got it from my aunt. Regarding the documents of Erina's custody rights, and at Miss Erina's current age, she already has a certain right to make decisions, so you don't have to worry about Miss Erina's care."

Li Xiang held a few documents just obtained from Nakiri Magi in his hand, and shook them in front of Nakiri Ji.

There is nothing to say about the efficiency of Nakiri Managi's work there, what was said yesterday will be done today.It saved Li Xiang a lot of trouble.

"I didn't expect you to be one step ahead."

Nakiri Thistle still did not waver in the slightest.

"However, Erina will soon understand that only by following me can you truly reach the pinnacle of being a chef. All your hard work is useless."

Li Xiang was amazed:

"Well, Uncle Ji, it's 9012 now, why are you still showing off your rudimentary knowledge of psychology. If you have a mental illness, why don't you go to a psychiatrist?"

Li Xiang said while shaking his head,
"Forget it, Uncle Ji, please do your best. Miss Erina is here with us, don't worry, she is doing well now, and she even talked to her mother on the phone before."

Li Xiang got up, waved his hand to Nakieji, opened the French window of the balcony, and turned out from the window sill.

In the following dozens of days, Yuanyue has been calm. In the absence of Nakiri Erina, the tenth seat, and Emiya, the ninth seat, the reform of Nakiriji is being carried out steadily.

It wasn't until the second month of the second month that Nagini cut thistle became the master, that a big news came out in the culinary world.

Around "Kiriya", the store opened by Totsuki graduate Inui Hinata, several restaurants serving the same dishes as "Kiriya" suddenly appeared.Although these restaurants with different names provide exactly the same cuisine as Kiriya, and even the interior decoration is almost the same, their prices are [-] to [-]% cheaper than Kiriya.It once brought quite a shock to the fog house.

However, Ganri Xiangzi, the proprietress of Wuwu, made a move immediately.With her outstanding culinary skills, Xiangzi Ganri has improved the dishes in the restaurant more or less, and the prices have risen instead of falling.

However, although the price has increased slightly, those rich people who are obsessed with food still choose to consume in the fog house, and the real competitors are those restaurants that imitate the fog house.In order to compete for customers, several restaurants kept cutting prices, and in the end they could only maintain a dismal operation.

The same story happened later in the shops opened by many well-known Yuanyue graduated chefs.However, the endings of the stories are similar. Although those famous stores will be hit for a while, in the end, only the followers will always be the ones who will suffer.

Regarding this phenomenon, major gourmet weekly magazines have stated that the chef is the soul of a restaurant kitchen.A good chef cannot be crushed simply by following the trend.

In this regard, Ganri Xiangzi of Wuwu told the food reporters that if she was given a month, she could teach an ordinary person all the dishes in their restaurant, and the taste would not be much different.

"However, I can mass-produce this kind of chef who can only cook. If I put down my work and concentrate on teaching, I can even bring out ten people a month."

"Such a person can only become an assistant chef forever, and cannot become the chef of a restaurant. As a chef, you should have your own judgment and your own characteristics, otherwise you can only be a copy that cannot be put on the table."

True geniuses not only have talent, they also need to put in a lot of hard work.

This series of events had a great impact on Yuanyue's students.

Many students began to think about whether the recipes they are learning now will be helpful to their future career as chefs.

What needs to be admitted is that these recipes from the Central Food Agency are indeed quite outstanding, but if I only learn these things, it means that after graduation in the future, all my classmates who graduate at the same time as me will become my competitors.

Why do I beat other students who are learning the same things as me?

Most of the students who will come to Yuanyue have ambitions in their hearts, and hope to become equal to those former star chefs, seniors, and even teachers.

Although I can graduate, can I really achieve my original goal just by relying on these learned recipes?
Once they start thinking, they become confused.

Why does this ingredient need to add a little lemon juice?Why is the order in which the ingredients are put into the pot always set like this and cannot be changed?

Even the recipes they have learned are only superficial, and they don't know anything about the principles in the recipes and the construction methods of the dishes.

This kind of suspicion gradually rose to doubts about the new system formulated by Nakiri Ji.
