Rebirth as a Cooking God

It was still early. He took the JR train to Asahikawa City and drove a jeep through the city. Xia Yu looked at the watch on his left wrist. It was just past ten o'clock in the morning.

Compare hand-drawn maps and mobile phone navigation maps.

Chiyogami's map has an abstract terrain, but Asahikawa City and Izumo Shrine are marked on the map as two points.

What Xia Yu has to do is to find another point from one point.

According to the terrain, he roughly locked three areas.

The first one: Tokachidake.

This mountainous area is close to Furano City. Now Xia Yu is driving along the railway line from Asahikawa to Furano. On the navigation map, he is walking southeast, gradually moving away from Asahikawa city. The next destination is Biei Town in Asahikawa.

At nearly noon, Xia Yu was in the urban area of ​​Biei Town. Although this satellite town was small, it was well-equipped. According to the marks on the navigation map, he parked the car in front of a building called 'Biei Shrine', which could be entered. Xia Yu couldn't help but feel disappointed when he walked inside. The shrine was full of tourists, and there was even a TV drama filming team busy.

However, Xia Yu still found the owner of the shrine and seriously asked about the location of Izumo Shrine. Unexpectedly, the other party was confused when he heard this, saying that it was the first time he had heard the name of this shrine.

After leaving disappointedly, he had lunch in Biei Town, passed by a gas station, and filled up the jeep's gas. Xia Yu drove along the straight national highway in Biei Town and went straight to Tokachidake without stopping.

The car drove silently on the national highway surrounded by forests, sometimes not meeting another car for half an hour. The autumn wind blew through the forest, bringing withered yellow leaves.

Finally, as evening approached, Xia Yu reached the end of the national road. In front of him was no longer a vast wilderness, but now there were sparse buildings.

Staying at a hot spring B\u0026B tonight.

Xia Yu asked the owner of the B\u0026B and found out that this was a small town not marked on the map, called Baijin. There was a three-story Platinum Hot Spring Hotel not far from the B\u0026B. There were many cars parked at the door. It was said that they were all hiking or hiking. Tourists camping.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, opening the window and looking to the southeast, the snow-capped mountains reaching into the sky in the distance are the Tokachidake Mountains. Xia Yu secretly said: Let's find out first, don't rush into the mountain.

At this time, there was a noise outside the yard.

Xia Yu went out after hearing the sound and saw several strong men in camouflage uniforms surrounding his jeep, pointing.

What are you doing?! He scowled and touched his bulging waist with one hand.

Is this your car?

The mercenaries were stunned.

nonsense!

Are you from the Suzuran Regiment? The mercenaries looked cautious.

Xia Yu didn't answer. The mercenaries dispersed in a hurry. The owner of the B\u0026B was also disturbed. He was a middle-aged uncle in a kimono. He said with a smile: Xia Yu-kun, don't be nervous. They have permission. The regular mercenary with the certificate has been living here for half a month and was entrusted by the Furano City Government to investigate the snow mountain monster.

Snow mountain monster?

yes.

Mentioning this matter, the middle-aged uncle looked worried and said: Tokachidake is a volcano. There were several eruptions in the Edo period, causing many disasters. About a month ago, Asahikawa and Furano cities We organized an observation team to go into the mountain, and then, they disappeared!”

Missing?

Actually, they were probably killed. The middle-aged uncle sighed, There is a 10-person gourmet mercenary group accompanying them. It has been a month, but there is no news. Who dares to believe that they are still alive?

Xia Yu listened silently.

Is the situation on Tokachidake Snow Mountain very bad? he asked.

If it was too bad, we would have moved back to the city, wouldn't we?

The middle-aged uncle walked away with a smile.

By the way, uncle, is there a professional kitchen in your town that I can rent? Xia Yu shouted at his back.

Then we have to go to the hot spring hotel opposite!

Xia Yu felt that he would stay in this town for two days.

In the past two days, he communicated with the God of Cooking Space practice at night, and searched for any clues about Izumo Shrine through the Internet or on-site visits during the day.

…

Two days later.

The perspective shifts back to Tokyo.

On October 3rd, after two weeks, the semi-finals of Totsuki's Autumn Selection officially started at 10 o'clock this morning!

The first match is Ryo Hayama VS Maki Morita!

This showdown was a blast. Not only did it arouse Yuanyue's enthusiasm, but through the live TV screen and seeing the familiar faces in the guest seats of Between Moon and Sky, you can know that this autumn election has triggered a lot of excitement. How much attention.

Backstage.

Morita Maki was lying on the table, her round and delicate face in front of the screen, and there was no sign of nervousness about her upcoming appearance.

Ah, it's so beautiful, the Snowy Mountains!

She exclaimed. On the other end of the video communication, there were snow-capped mountains outside the window of the hot spring B\u0026B.

Maki, I personally decided on the topics for the semi-finals. Two weeks have passed, can you control them... Xia Yu's voice came from the mobile phone. He was lying on the window sill, smiling and asking his childhood sweetheart in Tokyo.

No problem——

Our group got the 'Drinks' topic, and Xiaohui and Yukihei's group got the 'Staple Food' topic... Morita Maki's eyes smiled like clear crescent moons, For me, the 'Drinks' topic is very suitable. If it were the 'main course' question, it would be tricky, and I would probably lose to Ryo Hayama.

Boom!

A staff member outside said: Player Morita, it's time to play!

OK.

Morita Maki responded. She had changed into a white chef uniform and picked up her mobile phone.

The two maintained the video connection, and soon, the thunderous cry of between the moon and the sky reached the hot spring B\u0026B in Platinum Town through the air. Xia Yu listened with a smile and looked out the window at the vast wilderness scene. For a moment, he felt infinite. .

He had only been away from the city for three days, and the cheers from the stadium actually made him feel strange.

Morita! Morita! Morita!

come on!

Senior Morita, I am your fan!

Morita Maki stepped out from the entrance, and fans immediately surged to support her. Her mobile phone camera focused on it, and Xia Yu was stunned at the hot spring B\u0026B.

In the entire area, everyone is wearing black robes and black pointed hats with a conspicuous F letter printed on the front.

Seeing Morita looking over, the leader of the fan club held up a wooden cross dyed orange-red and shouted slogans:

burn!

Burn, burn, burn!

I wish all lovers in the world...will eventually become brothers and sisters!

Fans chanted burning slogans in unison, and they were shocked by the aura of this support group from the moon to the sky.

Morita Maki was so embarrassed that she quickly hid in her kitchen counter.

Ye Shanliang was one step ahead of her, standing at the kitchen counter opposite with a cold look.

Ahem, the players are already in place!

Hostess Rei Kawashima coughed, Totsuki Academy, the 43rd Autumn Selection semi-finals, the first round begins now!

clang!

The sound of the golden gong spread.

Ayu, I'm going to start!

Morita Maki placed her phone in a convenient position and focused on herself. Then, she moved the prepared ingredients onto the kitchen table. Rei Kawashima shouted: It seems that both players Hayama and Morita have won. Ingredients support from Professor Xia!”

On the kitchen table are fresh fruits that were just picked not long ago, and lemon peach is just one of them.

First wash the fruit and use a sharp fruit knife to cut the fruit into pieces.

If you pay attention, it is not difficult to find that Morita uses seven different juicers to classify the fruits.

Then, in five different transparent glass drink cups, she first poured a dark brown juice, which was grape juice... Then, Maki held a jar filled with homemade yogurt and poured it carefully with a spoon. Layer the yogurt, a thin layer, about 2 or 3 mm thick.

Then pour in orange juice with small particles, and spread a layer of yogurt.

And so on.

Just half an hour into the cooking session, Maki Morita rang the dish-passing bell and brought five glasses of juice to the judging table.

Control of density?

When Maki served the food, she did not forget to bring her mobile phone, so Xia Yu was able to observe the whole process. He was secretly surprised at the hot spring B\u0026B, It takes seven kinds of juices with different densities to turn into a cup of colorful juice with compartments. How many times have you practiced it?”

And... why are the yogurt compartments so layered?

Xia Yu thought.

On this special day, please allow me to say:

I really don’t know how people of different genders fall in love~~~~o(∩_∩)o
