Chapter 286 Ji and Mangi Break Up!
The moon rises quietly.
The mountains in the distance in the night are blurred, as if covered by a layer of gauze, appearing very mysterious and profound.
In the near distance, the trees cast mottled shadows under the bright moonlight, swaying gently with the breeze, breaking the silence of the night and adding a bit of vitality.
At this moment.
In the Hokkaido region of Neon Country.
"Please note that the doors are closed and the Moon Shadow train is about to depart."
Inside the train, the voice of the broadcast became louder, and soon this train with luxurious and elegant interiors sped away quickly, like a lightning that was so fast that people could not see it with their eyes open.
"Miss."
"This train will pass through many stations on the way, and it seems that every time it arrives at a station, there will be students getting off."
"Could it be that the location of the third exam is different for everyone?"
Looking at the scenery passing by the window quickly, Fei Shazi, who was sitting in the train, could only say lightly.
"Yes!"
"I remember that the routes for the promotion exams were different."
"For example, in this car, there are only you, Alice and me. Of course, there must be other students in other cars, but the stations reached by each car should be different!"
"Obviously, starting from the third exam, our routes have diverged, or merged!"
Erina explained after looking at Hisako.
…
"Hiss!"
"The weather in Hokkaido is really cold!"
"If I knew it would snow, I shouldn't have taken this job. Alas... It was a mistake."
At this moment, Kobayashi Ryodan, the current second in the top ten, appeared behind Erina and others.
Tonight, she was wearing a heavy down jacket, and she always tightened her body involuntarily, with her shoulders raised, her hands tightly clasped together, and she kept rubbing them.
Hmm!
You can see it.
She looked a little stiff all over, and her movements were inevitably a little slow.
The whole body seemed to be restrained by this coldness.
Looking at her carefully, you can also find that her golden eyes are as beautiful as stars, especially eye-catching!
"Huh? Senior Rindan?"
Erina looked back and was a little surprised.
"Hehe, are you surprised that I appear here?"
After saying this, Kobayashi Rindan couldn't help but smile faintly, and the two rows of white teeth seemed to be shining, which contrasted with the blush on his cheeks.
Those eyes also curved into a crescent shape, flashing with joy and kindness.
"Senior, what are you doing here?"
Erina frowned deeply. She was more worried about the sudden appearance of the second seat of the Ten Elites.
After all, as a third-year student in the senior department, she shouldn't appear on this Moon Shadow train.
"Let's make it short."
"You all know the results of the first two exams. The Central Gourmet Agency must be very dissatisfied."
"And I haven't lost the second place in the Ten Elites yet, so General Nakiri Tsuki personally ordered the Ten Elites directly under the Central Gourmet Agency to serve as examiners."
"So, tomorrow morning."
"At the new examination site, I will personally appear to deal with you."
Kobayashi Ryodan first found a seat in the carriage and sat down, then continued to smile and said to Erina and others.
...
"Really?"
"Father is so anxious that he even uses you."
Although in her heart, she already knew that it would be difficult to completely crush the power of the Central Gourmet Agency in this promotion exam, but Erina really didn't expect that she would confront her seniors in advance, especially this group of people who represent the highest combat power of Totsuki!
So, she was silent for a while, and then asked Kobayashi Ryodan: "Then what? In this car, are I, Hisako and Alice your opponents?"
"Smart!"
"You three will have to compete with me in cooking at that time."
"However, I can secretly let you win. Although the procedures and rules of the competition must be followed, the question of whether you can win or not is still up to me."
Kobayashi Ryodan blinked and said.
"Ah?"
At this moment, Erina, Hisako and Alice looked at each other.
"Are you kidding?"
"In the third exam, we are actually competing with the top ten?"
"Are they asking us to make dishes that will satisfy the top ten? Or do we have to defeat the top ten to pass this exam? The former may be okay, but the latter is probably impossible!"
Finally, Arato Hisako, who reacted first, said weakly.
"I can tell you that for this promotion exam, you villains are divided into four routes."
"Erina, Alice, Hisako, the three of you are assigned to the same carriage, which means that the three of you are a team, and as you can see, your opponent is me, Kobayashi Ryodan!"
"And this time, you have to compete with me, one of the top ten."
"And the condition for winning is that you must make delicious dishes to defeat me!" Kobayashi Ryodan said lightly.
"All students taking the promotion exam will be separated. We have long expected such a thing, but I didn't expect that my father... would actually be..."
Erina's bright eyes are inevitably a little lost and desperate.
"Hmph, isn't this obviously trying to make things difficult for others?"
"If I can defeat the top ten heroes, why should I take the promotion test?"
Alice Nakiri, who was beside her, was so angry that she almost went crazy. The first two exams were obviously designed to find various conditions to torture and make things difficult for them. As a result...the next third exam, the methods were even more... Cruel!
"Well, Alice, you can't have this mentality."
"Anyway, let me tell you a little bit about your exam instructions this time. The cooking topic of the exam is cake."
"cake?"
Alice Nakiri was confused for a moment.
Then, she and Erina next to her looked at each other, and then she said: "Erina, I never thought that one day, you and I would join forces to cooperate."
Hearing this, Erina just brushed up her messy hair and responded arrogantly: "Alice, you'd better not hold back when the time comes."
…
night.
Izakaya is open.
The crystal clear snapper fillet is as delicate as the peach blossoms in spring.
Under the slight luster, the texture of the fish meat is clearly visible. It is very delicate and light. If you pick up a piece with chopsticks, you can feel the unique elasticity of the fish meat.
Put it in your mouth, and the fresh and tender taste immediately blooms on the tip of your tongue.
The fish meat is delicate and elastic, always giving Nakiri Shinagi a light and pleasant feeling.
Then, you can also feel the deliciousness of the ocean, the original flavor of the fish and the slight sweetness, which begin to intertwine to form an intoxicating taste experience.
Um!
Every bite.
They all make people feel like they are in the sea.
"Managi?"
The voice was full of surprise.
"Well, you ended up here after all."
Looking at Nakiri Thistle behind him, Nakiri Shinagi's eyes became sharp.
Nakiri Thistle's face was filled with astonishment. He never thought that the most terrifying person in the world would appear in such a small izakaya.
Well, of course.
He even didn't expect Zhang Fan in front of him.
His own cooking skills were actually able to conquer even Nakiri Managi's God's Tongue ability!
…
"thistle."
"You and I really haven't seen each other for many years, right?"
"Originally, I thought that you could take good care of Erina for me and take care of the affairs of the Nakiri family, but I didn't expect that what you are doing now is getting more and more outrageous!"
"You must know that Totsuki Academy belongs to our Nakiri family. When will it be your turn as an outsider to give guidance?"
"And you actually dare to contact a group of top ten men to ask my father to step down."
"Although you have married into our Nakiri family, it does not mean that you can be so domineering as the son-in-law of the Nakiri family. What's more, from the moment I ran away from home, the relationship between you and me The relationship should exist in name only!”
At this moment, watching Nagi cut thistle.
Nakiri Shinagi's initial anger was like a strong wind blowing through her heart.
Then, her emotions began to become more complicated, with too much regret, helplessness, and anger!
When she ran away from home, she would never have thought that Nakiri Thistle would treat Erina like this, so every time she thought of this incident, she felt extremely angry towards Nakiri Thistle.
Especially the recent incident at Totsuki Academy made her even more disappointed in Nakiri Thistle.
Now, he actually appeared in front of him.
All the emotions hidden in my heart naturally burst out at this moment!
…
"Sanagi, there's a reason why I did this."
Normally, this majestic Nakiri Thistle was as submissive as a frightened deer when facing Nakiri Shinagi.
He really didn't expect that Nakiri Shinagi would be so angry when she met him again.
However, when he thought about how he had treated Erina like this before, Nagiri Thistle was speechless!
"I don't want to pursue the past matters anymore. After all, it is meaningless to pursue them."
"But if you dare to do something like that to Erina again in the future, I, Shinagi, will make you pay the price."
"Don't think that just because you own Totsuki Academy, you can be domineering. No matter when, as long as I give an order, I can make all your efforts come to nothing!"
"In short, you have to take care of yourself in the future!"
After saying this, Nakiri Managi just withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention to Nakiri Thistle.
"Yes, I understand."
Nakiri Thistle couldn't help wiping cold sweat and said with fear.
…
"Zhang Fan, hurry up!"
"I'm so hungry. Can you cook me something new quickly?"
However, after getting angry, Nagi Nakiri stared straight at Zhang Fan with a pair of bright eyes.
Upon closer inspection, her eyes were full of reverence, even a little humble, just like the look a servant would have when looking at his master.
"Ah... um~"
Then, she continued to look at the fierce fresh sea bream mountain in front of her, and couldn't help but swallow.
Then, I couldn’t wait to taste it!
If only one kind of fish can represent the temperament of traditional fish, it must be:
snapper!
When the freshness from the ocean is perfectly combined with the Arhat Crystal Slash and the Beichen Sirius Blade, the quality of the fish fat is sublimated at this moment!
Even Nakiri Masagi, who has a divine tongue, was deeply captivated by this dish from this moment on.
Elegant and complex, yet so infatuating!
Just one bite, the fresh fish meat has a clear taste with a hint of sweetness.
The tight texture is like a bite of spring!
Nakiri Masagi couldn't help but exclaimed.
…
“Well, if you compare Chinese food to a big drama with singing and dancing, frying, braising, deep-frying, stewing, roasting and deep-frying, it is really sensual and colorful with many varieties!”
“Then, relatively speaking, Japanese food is like a thick novel, with a deep plot and often unexpected twists. You will never know the ending unless you read the last page?”
“Just like sea bream, the taste itself is restrained and does not require any seasoning or cooking skills.”
“Just chew it carefully, and you can taste the sweet taste just by the quality of the sea bream!”
“However, what a surprise!”
“It turns out that just by simply processing the sea bream, its original taste can be brought to such a level.”
“Moreover, no matter how many times I eat it, I never get tired of it. Sure enough, in this world, only Zhang Fan’s cuisine can completely conquer me!”
After speaking, the whole izakaya quickly appeared strange.
A gust of wind began to sweep across the interior of the entire izakaya. After a while, the wind stopped!
...
"What? Isn't this the skill of imparting pulses?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, the dazed Nakiri finally came back to his senses.
He looked at Nakiri Managi, who had the skill of [Emitting Pulses] because of a sea bream dish. In an instant, he knew that Zhang Fan's cooking was indeed the divine tongue that conquered Nakiri Managi!
And such a situation made it difficult for him to calm down for a while!
Because this means that everything he did was just a joke in Zhang Fan's eyes.
Because what he wanted to pursue was something that Zhang Fan could easily get with one hand. It is not an exaggeration to say that at present, with Zhang Fan's cooking skills and abilities, he is enough to dominate the entire cooking world!
…
"Ji, you should understand, right?"
"In this world, there has appeared a chef who can break the curse of the tongue of God."
"And this chef is Zhang Fan standing in front of you!"
"It doesn't matter if it's me."
"It doesn't matter if it's Erina."
"From the moment Zhang Fan appeared, our fate is destined to be conquered and captured by him, and we can never escape from his palm!"
Listening to Managi's words, Nakiri Ji was stunned.
Then, he could only accept this reality helplessly and said, "Really? The person who can lead the new era in the future is not me, nor Erina, but Zhang Fan!"
