Sword Raiders II

Yuanyue Tea Lao Food Science Park, referred to as Yuanyue College, was founded by the gourmet leader Yuanyue Group. It is a world-renowned aristocratic cooking college. It teaches students the cooking culture of all over the world, and of course also teaches cultural courses in junior high school and even high school. , the academic qualifications are recognized by the society, and it can be described as a prestigious university among famous families.

It is famous not only for its high tuition fees and its culinary students who come from either rich or noble backgrounds, but also because of its terrifyingly low graduation rate and top chefs who are vying for top chefs all over the world once they successfully graduate from high school.

Yu Li is also a graduate of this school, but only graduated from junior high school.After graduating with the No.1 grade in the junior high school, she transferred directly to an ordinary high school.

But even so, it didn't change the culinary achievements and heights she had reached at this time.

"Long time no see, Erina and Fei Sazi." Yu Li greeted back with a smile.

It is the future heir of the Yuanyue Group, Nakiri Erina, and her assistant Nido Hisako who are coming out to greet them now. For some reason, these two people lived with Yuli for a while in the first part. relatively familiar.

"Originally, I wanted to hold a more grand welcome ceremony, at least let the ten heroes come out to welcome you, but Mr. Xinggong said that you don't like to be too public, so only Feisha and I came." Erina said deeply. I think it's too disrespectful for Mr. Xinggong to bring her assistant out now, but the other party doesn't seem to feel anything.

"Don't worry, if all the ten outstanding people show up, the gate of the school will be blocked." Yu Li quickly refused, "I've had enough of being surrounded by people for interviews these days."

Erina laughed when she heard it: "It's not that your recent project of "Xinggongguan Food Street" is too sensational, and now you have found cooperation with Shimadzu to start construction, so it has attracted a lot of attention? "

Having lived with Mr. Xinggong for a period of time, she knows very well that Erina, who is bothersome and stubborn, doesn't understand what she complains about, but she still half-jokingly persuades her: "Mr. Xinggong, you are the future chef. Get used to living under the spotlight, all celebrity chefs who graduated from Yuanyue have already gotten used to it."

Yu Li entered the door and walked forward, but shook his head helplessly when he heard the words: "I'm tired after listening."

"But you have already embarked on this path now." Erina walked beside Lord Xinggong, seeing her sigh, the smile on her face became even wider, "I heard that you have recently taken over the Hosokawa family's clan. For the birthday banquet, what they paid was the right to purchase two pieces of land in Hakone, right? Including the sum of the land you bought from the Suzuki consortium and other companies or private individuals, there are nearly half of the land in the northeast of Lake Ashi The land of Yi is under the name of Xinggong Pavilion, right?"

"The news is well-informed?" Yu Li looked at her in surprise, "The contract I negotiated with the Hosokawa family just the day before yesterday, you Yuanyue already know the details."

"It's not a secret at all, and you didn't intend to hide it, did you?" Yuan Yue's future heir replied with a smile, "In fact, I am more looking forward to what kind of food you will make on the birthday party than these things." [Hua Zhang State Banquet], [Four Seasons Banquet], [Reincarnation Banquet]...Every time the grand banquet held by Master Xinggong is shocking and amazing, it is a pity that I cannot attend this private birthday banquet, otherwise I would like to Taste it on the spot."

"You [God's Tongue] are afraid that you won't have a good banquet to attend? Others spend money on meals, and you are given money from the hotel for meals, so don't act like a good boy." Yu Li also joked, "Let's go, my class should still be Over there in the auditorium?"

"Of course, it's still the same place." Erina smiled.

"Master Xinggong has been arranged." Fei Shazi, who had been silent in the rear, also hurriedly added at this time: "In addition to the graduates attending the lectures, and relevant newspaper and media personnel also obeyed the arrangement and entered the venue in an orderly manner. wait..."

"I see, I see! Sister—!" Fei Shazi hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by two female voices, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I finally see you again!" The speaker waved his hands vigorously. , while trotting towards her.

"Taki! Yuanguo!" Seeing two acquaintances who would never meet here, Yu Li was also pleasantly greeted, "Why are you here when you are free?"

Kikuchi Sonoka and Kadozaki Taki are all junior high school girls that Yuri knew well when Totsuki was in junior high school. Now they have already graduated from high school and have their own restaurants.

"Of course I heard that you gave an open class to the graduates today, so I made time to come here!" Kadozaki Taki, the head chef of the Spanish restaurant, put one hand on his waist and replied with a smile.

"Senior has rarely had time to contact us since she was busy with her Xinggong Pavilion. I miss you so much!" Chef Mu Jiuzhiyuan of Chunguo Pavilion held his hand on his chest and said half complaining. .

"There--we-we--" A pair of arms hooked Yu Li's neck, and a Nadeshiko-like face appeared behind him, "It's too much, Xing Gongchan, come to Yuanyue to open a public forum for graduates. If you don’t call us in class, aren’t those of us who have graduated for many years considered Yuanyue graduates?”

"Senior sister?" Yu Li was taken aback, "Are you here too?"

The chef of a Japanese restaurant was also the son of Shijie.

Hearing Yu Li's surprise, Ganri Xiangzi just laughed and hummed twice before she could speak, a big male hand suddenly clasped her small Tianling cover, and then grabbed the senior sister's claws like claws on a claw machine. The head abruptly separated the person from Yu Li.

"Do you know why Xinggong ran away as soon as she heard you were there? Stupid woman, you really don't have a long memory." The man who captured her had no sympathy for that beautiful Nadeshiko at all, and even opened his eyes wide. ridicule.

Yu Li couldn't help laughing when he saw the person coming: "Senior Sigong? Didn't you go back to France, why come back when you have time?"

Shinomiya Kojiro, the first member of the top ten of the 79th class of Yuanyue College, opened his own French restaurant SHINO'S in France after graduation, and is currently the only Dongying person who has won the "Order of Prosper" in France. After returning to China for a while, I opened a branch in Tokyo, and the business is booming.

When his branch store just opened, Yu Li went there for dinner, and he also gave him an oil painting as a congratulatory gift. That painting is now the treasure of SHINO'S.

"I went back to Dongying a few days ago, and I want to see how the branch in Tokyo is doing." Shinomiya Kojiro held the struggling Kanhiko in one hand, while talking with Yuli calmly, "I heard that you are going to open for the graduates. I came over to take a look at the open class. After all, the stupid woman is right, we are also Yuanyue graduates."

"You even said that, senior, I'm really embarrassed."

"There is no need for this kind of modesty." Kojiro Shinomiya looked at her. This cook who was always a little harsh faced this junior, but he couldn't put on the airs of his seniors at all, "Although you are holding this year's Master of Chef Competition because of your So I couldn't participate, but after the [Reincarnation Banquet], all the other cooking masters, including the commander-in-chief, publicly admitted that you are really the real chef."

There are currently five Master Chefs in Dongying Kingdom. As long as they break through the tenth level of Special Chef and master their own culinary skills, they can be recognized internationally. There is a special authoritative organization to grant certification, but this is not the case for Master Chef. Only master chefs have information. Participated in the God of Cooking competition to compete in cooking skills, and the final winner can have this title, and all the fame and rights attached to this title.

A country can have several cooking masters, but there is only one [God of Cooking] who has climbed to the top of the country and made all the cooks in the country bow their heads!

The God of Cooking competition, which has been changed every few years, was actually held last year, but just before the start of the competition, Yu Li's royal kitchen knife set was calculated and destroyed. She did not hesitate to get injured and only saved one. Even if you want to fight for the injury, it is not allowed.

That memory emerged in his mind, and the smile on Yu Li's face couldn't help but fade a bit.

At this moment, another group of familiar faces approached her on the road ahead, they were the high school seniors who were about to graduate.

"Lecturer!" Xiaolin Longdan, the second seat of Yuanyue Shijie, was the first to raise his hand to greet her, "I told you that you will definitely meet someone in the auditorium. Lecturer, look here!"

While she was talking, she grabbed the shy and meek first seat Si Yingshi next to her and pushed her forward. Behind her were other members of the Top Ten.

"Good afternoon, lecturer! Erina didn't let us pick you up at the gate of the school, but we waited patiently for you at the gate of the auditorium!"

"We have prepared refreshments made by ourselves in the backstage of the auditorium, let's have some before going to class!"

In an instant, the old and new graduates surrounded Yu Li directly at the entrance of the auditorium.

Yu Li couldn't remember how she escaped from the siege of these current and future star chefs. The only thing she remembered was the face of Erina who turned from a cute girl into a domineering young lady and yelled at them, and how she looked back. Shenshi himself is already in the auditorium, and he only needs to step on a certain step to get on the podium and start the class officially.

The wide auditorium was packed to the brim at this time, so the students, media and people who squeezed in desperately were all looking brightly at the people who stepped up to the podium in front of them.

This is Xinggong Yuli, the recognized uncrowned God of Cooking.

She entered the Yuanchu Middle School at the age of 12, and suddenly transferred to another school at the age of 14 due to family changes. At the age of 1, she was involved in the SAO incident and was imprisoned alive in the game for two years, but even this life did not defeat her. After several years of silence, she came back again as a culinary master who has mastered terrifying cooking skills, and now she is a top cook publicly recognized by all culinary masters, a future chef in her twenties, a true legend!

And the people on the stage also turned on the microphones officially, and her words were clearly transmitted throughout the auditorium through the loudspeaker.

【Before the class starts, I would like to wish the 90th high school students of my alma mater a smooth graduation...】

At the end of a nearly two-hour public class, the audience erupted into applause, and the eyes of everyone who attended the class were still full of enthusiasm.Especially those graduates sitting in the front row, their hands were red.

"Have you all seen the lecturer's knife skills, knife skills!" Someone excitedly shared with the people around him, "Compared to the first time the lecturer came to Yuanyue for the public class, it has become more profound and terrifying!"

Everyone at the scene still remembered her first public class held by Lai Yuanyue not long after she became a culinary master. The scene where she used a square knife to carve realistic peonies in the water was still fresh in her memory. Compared with this class now, the standard is a bit higher than the naked eye, and this kind of progress speed is beyond the praise of this group of geniuses who are very confident in themselves.

It's not scary for a person to be a genius, and it's not scary for a genius to reach the top soon. What's scary is that her talent is not exhausted at all. The person who was just behind her continued to widen the distance.

Now, these geniuses are admiring and looking forward to, but they are also burning with fighting spirit. They are younger than the people on the podium, which means that they have more time to catch up with this mountain.

Everyone has the clearest goal to chase at this moment.

Just when Yu Li was about to leave the stage amid applause, a loud horn suddenly sounded in the auditorium.

[Hmph, the future contemporary chef is just hype and marketing. 】

The loudspeaker that came with it sent ridicule to every corner of the auditorium, and also attracted everyone's glaring looks. Following the reputation, I saw a mixed-race man with eagle eyes and hooked nose.

"Who is this? It looks familiar."

"I remembered! It's James Sakurada, the overall champion of the youth group of this year's French International Pastry Competition! He is the heir of the famous Dongying pastry shop and the French pastry group!"

"Did you come here on purpose to smash the scene?"

Facing the angry eyes of so many people, James did not hesitate at all, and the old god raised the horn again on the ground.

[What are you staring at me for?As far as I know, Yuri Hoshimiya, who is regarded as the chef god by you, is only proficient in Chinese cuisine and Japanese cuisine, right?Isn't it wrong that a cook with such a serious bias can become a chef?A real chef should not be proficient in all types of cooking, at least he must be on an equal footing with the top players in those fields to be worthy of being called a chef, right? 】

It sounds reasonable, but in fact, if you talk nonsense, people in the industry will be laughed at. A person's life span is limited, but the culture of food is so vast and splendid, and some chefs will be exhausted just by studying one direction In a lifetime, for example, one of the six cooking masters now specializes in sashimi and is directly made a god. He has no other specialties, but no one thinks there is anything wrong with him competing for the position of chef god.

Do you want to be at the top of the decathlon?Dreaming is faster.

But outsiders who don't know how to do it seem to be right.

"What James Sakurada said seems to be right. They are all chefs, so they must be good in everything, right?"

"So far, Master Xinggong has shown mostly Chinese and Japanese cuisines, and French, Italian and Indian cuisines are quite rare."

"There are also things like cakes and drinks, and there are very few..."

The crowd began to whisper, and some disgruntled Yuanyue students retorted loudly, but the tone was not good enough to arouse the resentment of laymen, which accidentally sparked a quarrel.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Erina, who had been watching from the backstage, saw that the security guards couldn't squeeze in to clear the venue because of too many people, so she was about to go up to the stage to personally deal with and expel the spoiler, and put one hand in front of her.

It's Lord Xinggong's entourage, and its name... is Candlestick Qie Guangzhong?

"Miss Nakiri, this is the lord's battlefield. She didn't take the initiative to ask for your help, so please wait patiently." Candlestick stopped Erina politely, but looked at the people on the podium in front of her, "In this situation , the lord can handle it by himself."

On the podium, Yu Li, who was planning to leave the stage but was unexpectedly stopped, looked at everything off the stage quietly. Her expression was too calm and calm, and the invisible calm aura made the chaotic and noisy environment gradually quiet again.

[James Sakurada, the only son of Saburo Sakurada, the general manager of the century-old Japanese confectionary shop "Feiyanya" chain, and Elisa Roland, the daughter of the chairman of the famous French pastry group, right? 】

In a word, it directly opened the provocateur's identity and background.The mixed-race man, whose heart sank because of Yu Li's unshakable emotions at the scene, changed his face, but the other party's words did not end, but continued through the microphone.

[The alliance between Dongying and France's two local dim sum groups seems to want to do something big.Let me think about it, your group came to me specifically, because they took a fancy to something in my hand?formula?menu?It should not be so, and it is not very necessary to come to your food direction.Then there is land left. 】

The others who had been observing Sakurada immediately noticed that when Master Xinggong said the last word, his shoulders trembled slightly.

Instantly understood.

It turned out that he also took a fancy to the land around the Xinggong Pavilion.

【You are provoking me like this now, and you still use that reason.I think you want to challenge me to eat halberds, and the theme is still mainly desserts, right? 】

Everyone understood the subtext behind it without saying it. He made a scene in public when Master Xinggong was giving a public class in Yuanyue, didn't he just want to force her to get off the stage and eat the halberd with him?Dessert-themed works really well for him.If he wins, he can help his company get the desired land, and he can also step on the other party's reputation to rise to the top.lost...

Losing to the future God of Cooking is actually not ashamed, shouldn't Xinggong Yuli, as the God of Cooking, win against him?

"Shameless, despicable!"

"Lecturer, ignore him!"

"Let this kind of person direct and act on his own!"

The students were extremely angry, but the adults who had entered the society had complex expressions.This time, no matter Xing Gongyu should or should not be provoking by James Sakurada, she will fall into his trap. If he doesn't do it, her dazzling reputation will definitely be covered with a layer of light gray, which cannot be wiped off even if she explains it afterwards. It is willing to only see the bad of others, rather than admit the good and innocent of others.

And in response to the food halberd...

The other party is a talented pastry chef who has been steeped in the inheritance of the two major desserts of Japanese and French. Compared with Master Xinggong who cooks orthodox dishes, his advantage cannot be greater.

In case of loss...

People imagine this scene... No, just thinking about it makes me unable to accept it, the blow of the halo shattering can hardly be seen directly.

Compared with two evils, whichever is lesser, as expected, don't agree to compare...

【Mr. Sakurada, I'm curious, what is the bet you prepared this time.If it satisfies me, I don't mind saying yes. 】

As soon as Xinggong Yuli's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, even the person whose intentions were directly exposed at the beginning was stunned, but soon showed joy of success, and subconsciously raised the microphone to answer.

[The bet is the divine sword "Haishan Yoshimitsu" that has been enshrined in the Hakusan Biba Shrine. If I win by chance, I will also ask Master Xinggong to transfer the right to purchase the land in the northeastern area of ​​Lake Ashi obtained from the Hosokawa family to Sakurada's house. 】

I didn't realize that the arrogance I had at the beginning had disappeared at this time.
