Zongman: I, the task master, join the chat group

The restaurant Zhou Yi recommended was naturally Yukihira Teishokuya, which he had visited several times in the past two days.

Although he had already obtained a list of restaurants where Totsuki graduates work in Academy City from the young lady who ran the noodle shop in the afternoon.

But the gap between an ordinary Totsuki graduate and Yukihira Joichiro... this can be compared to the gap between an ordinary chef and a Totsuki graduate.

It's not that Totsuki graduates are not strong enough, but Yukihira Joichiro's cooking skills are basically at the ceiling level in the entire world view of"Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma". Even if he doesn't use his full strength in daily cooking, the tip of the iceberg he shows is enough to crush most chefs.

""Hey, you're here, sir?"

Seeing this customer whose way of ordering food was unique among the customers he had met over the years, Yukihira Joichiro greeted him,"Do you want to order first or wait a little longer?"

"Is there any difference?"

Zhou Yi asked curiously.

From the fact that the other party deliberately opened the restaurant which was originally closed after dinner time until the early morning, he had guessed that something special would happen tonight, but what it was, he couldn't guess it by"guessing"

""A friend and I have made an appointment to have a long-awaited food battle."

Yukihira Joichiro answered.

Friend? Food battle?

After reviewing the other party's interpersonal network, Zhou Yi roughly guessed who the friend was and pondered for a moment:"……We won't have to wait for hours, right?"

"Of course not."

Yukihira Joichiro shook his head:"According to my estimation, he should be here soon. When I heard your footsteps just now, I thought it was him... Oh……"

He looked outside the door:"Here they come."

After the sound of the car door opening and closing, three figures, two men and one woman, walked in.

The leader was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a kimono and wooden clogs. There was a scar near his right eye from a cut, but it did not give people the impression of being disfigured. Instead, it made his lion-like momentum even more majestic.

The two people following behind him were a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a burly figure, who looked like he had exercised a lot on weekdays, and a girl with blonde hair and purple eyes, who looked as proud as a peacock.

As expected?

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows after recognizing the identities of the three people.

The old man walking in front was the commander-in-chief of the Totsuki Tea House Culinary Academy, the leader of the island country's culinary world, Nakiri Senzaemon, who was known as the"Food Demon King".

The two behind are Gin Dojima, the chief chef and board member of Totsuki Resort, who is known as the pinnacle of all Totsuki graduates, and Erina Nakiri, the granddaughter of Senzaemon Nakiri, who was born with a superior sense of taste and is known as the"God's Tongue".

"Just in time……"

After nodding and greeting the three people who came later, Yukihira Joichiro looked at Zhou Yi and the sound engineer and said,"Can you two guest judge the next food battle? Just taste the food after that guy and I serve it, and then say whose food is the best for you."

He pointed at Dojima Gin.

"You are really not polite at all."Dojima Gin said with emotion

"Let's finish the business first and then talk about the past."

Yukihira Joichiro took over the conversation with a wanton and ostentatious smile on his face.

"Then let's get started." Dojima Gin nodded and looked at Zhou Yi and the others,"Can you two help me? I am still somewhat confident in my cooking skills. Similarly, although I haven't seen him for a few years, I believe that Shiroichiro's cooking skills will not disappoint you."

"Four judges?"

Zhou Yi asked.

He remembered the rules of the Shokugeki competition. In addition to having a notary who could prove that the match was a formal competition and the relevant conditions that both sides of the competition agreed to, the number of judges must be an odd number to avoid the embarrassing situation of a tie in the end.

"It doesn't matter. It's not a formal competition. For chefs, the best way to communicate after a long separation is to compete in cooking."Nakiri Senzaemon laughed and said,"In fact, Gin and Shiroichiro originally planned to taste each other's food and let the other party judge the winner of the competition. It's just that when they met, I happened to be there, so I shamelessly brought Erina over to eat for free."

……

Dojima Gin and Yukihira Joichiro entered the kitchen, while the four temporary judges were waiting in the front hall.

Taking advantage of this time, the sound engineer took out his mobile phone, added Zhou Yi as a friend on the chat software, and asked him what kind of restaurant he brought her to - it was not that he felt that Yukihira Teishokuya was unreliable, but that he felt that Yukihira Teishokuya was too reliable.

She did not know the two chefs who were going to have a cooking showdown, but she had seen the old man who was serving as a judge with her not far away - the head coach of Totsuki Academy - on the news. The man who could make Nakiri Senzaemon say the word"free meal" in an expectant tone.

This person in the store could not be an ordinary chef no matter how you think about it.

「Zhou Yi: I didn't expect these people to come, but what Mr. Yukihira said... This is the restaurant's menu today.

Zhou Yi replied and pushed the menu of Yukihira Teishoku in front of the sound engineer.

The sound engineer opened it and took a look.

The price is slightly higher than similar teishoku restaurants, but considering that the two people in the kitchen have just started cooking and the aroma of the food is already stimulating her taste buds.

She can only say that it is (far) worth it.

「PA」: I didn’t expect that there is such a restaurant so close to STARRY

「PA」: I thought a chef of this caliber would only work in WGO star restaurants where one meal could eat up my budget for several months.

「Zhou Yi: Actually, it’s pretty much the same.

「Zhou Yi: The person who is competing with Mr. Yukihira seems to be the head chef of Totsuki Resort

「PA」：……Is this the Totsuki Resort I was thinking of?

「Zhou Yi: There should only be one Totsuki Resort.

「PA」：……

It was determined that it was a place she couldn't afford to go to.

She didn't know what the store manager would think after knowing that she had missed the opportunity to taste the dishes of the chef of Totsuki Resort... In her heart, she sent a"blessing" to Ichichi Hoshige, and made up her mind to enjoy the food. Under Zhou Yi's surprised gaze, the sound engineer took off the patch on his lower lip and the ear bone clips on both ears.

"I had my ears pierced before, but they got inflamed and tortured me for a long time."

While putting the lip studs and ear bone clips into a storage box, the sound engineer said,"So, after finding this job, although I have considered changing my image and making myself look more powerful, I still chose this kind of small prop that does not hurt my body because of the previous experience."
