Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Graduates and Dropouts (Part 2)

The Yuanyue College in Tokyo, not counting the reserve chefs who dropped out of school for various reasons, sends a first-class chef corps to Japan every year, ranging from a dozen to as many as twenty.

Leaving aside the super chefs who are at the top of the culinary world, first-class chefs can already be said to be the limit that ordinary people can achieve in a lifetime.

Through unremitting efforts, improve the basic skills, and then develop their own must-kill dishes, and finally, pass the assessment of the food research institute, and obtain the first-class chef qualification certificate-this is the development experience of most people, no matter Whether you have ever been a student of Yuanyue College or not, it doesn’t matter whether you can graduate from this college.

In Yuanyue Academy, from the management of the school to the recruitment of new students every year, it can be said that almost everything is managed by a group called the ‘Ten Outstanding’. And the ‘Ten Masters’, to use a simpler explanation, are the ten people with the highest culinary skills in Yuanyue Academy.

With authority similar to that of the shareholders of Yuanyue Academy, he can easily obtain a large amount of research and development funds, and can cook as he pleases, sprinting towards a higher field… Originally, the system of the ‘Ten Heroes’, or in other words, Nakiri Immortal That’s what Zaemon hoped for when he founded Totsuki Academy.

In the beginning, the establishment of Yuanyue Academy did cause a revolution in the Japanese cuisine industry. Countless outstanding chefs were born, and a special chef could be produced in an average of a few years. Even in the five years before and after the so-called “golden age” , and there were several students who passed the special chef examination during their school days.

It’s a pity that no matter how perfect the system created by human beings looks, it will inevitably existWith loopholes. Maybe it was an accident, or maybe it was the greed of some members of the board of directors. At some point, the ten elites representing the highest level of Yuanyue Academy began to stagnate.

Those students who drop out of school, as long as they can get out of the shadow of being dropped out by Yuanyue, can spend more than ten years slowly climbing to the realm of second-class and first-class chefs. With talent, you can go one step further and become a super chef. But for the ten outstanding graduates from Yuanyue, at the moment they graduated, the level of chefs seemed to be limited.

He was a first-class chef when he graduated, and he will still be a first-class chef ten years later, and then twenty years later, thirty years later…

This was an extremely common thing. After all, a chef, a profession that requires experience, skills and a little bit of talent, takes a long time to polish. Winning at the starting line does not mean that you can take the lead over the finish line. What’s more, life is long, and no one knows what kind of shocking reversal will happen next.

It’s just a pity that people in the Japanese cuisine industry don’t think so, and those journalists don’t care about these future things. People in the culinary world, because of the relationship with the commander-in-chief Senzaemon, at most complained in private, feeling that the system of Totsuki Academy is no longer suitable for the current environment. But those reporters don’t need to be scruples at all, and they will often catch the students who graduated from Yuanyue, especially the top ten, and announce all their or their situations.

Bearing the attention far beyond their age, and being given the highest expectations and demands by ignorant eaters, even these days’ favored children, many people can’t bear it, and gradually fade away from everyone.

But there are also some people who have protected themselves through various methods, constantly tempered themselves, and wanted to break through the curse of the Ten Heroes that has blocked Yuan Yue for nearly ten years.

Kadozaki Taki is one of them.

She is a graduate of Yuanyue Academy last year. When she was in Yuanyue Academy, she was ranked second among the top ten. One can imagine her high level of cooking skills. After graduating from Yuanyue College, like most of the previous top ten seniors, through the extensive contacts gained in Yuanyue College, she continued to raise funds and obtained a restaurant of her own at the fastest speed.

The restaurant is not big, but it is well-equipped with all five internal organs. When diners enter it, they will first be affected by the warm color layout of the restaurant. When they taste the food, they feel like they are at home, full of happiness and joy.

Kadozaki Taki is successful. The restaurant has been open for more than a year. With her own efforts, she has paid off all the money borrowed when planning the store. In the kitchen, she is like a queen, surrounded by other chefs and Admired by chefs. But Taki Kadozaki was also a failure. Her character is not good even among the top ten who are already rich in weirdos. The image of her poisonous tongue is accompanied by the popularity of her shop. A deep impression left in my heart.

If it’s just that, Taki Kadozaki might not care about it. Her poisonous tongue is a hedgehog-like disguise she uses to protect herself. It is her cooking skills that really determine whether customers will stay or not. However, since two months ago, I don’t know if it is the illusion of Taki Kakuzaki, the average daily customer flow of his restaurant has actually declined a little. Originally, Taki Kadozaki thought that this was just a normal phenomenon. Her restaurant sells Spanish cuisine, and it is not a civilian route. In addition, the cuisine is delicious enough, so there is no need to worry about the source of customers.

But as time passed, the decrease in customers became more and more obvious. In the past two weeks, Taki Kadozaki’s restaurant couldn’t even fill up some reserved seats.

This made Kadozaki Taki a little puzzled, and asked his shop assistants, and just learned from a few people that, walking a little further in the street where his shop is located, he opened a third-class mobile stall. Soon, the owner of this small stall had a culinary duel with the manager of Sambi Yaru not far away, a special baker. It sounds a little nonsense, but in the end, it was not the super baker of Sambi Yalu who won the cooking showdown, but the owner of the small shop!

Being able to defeat a super baker, at least in terms of bread making technology, the owner of the small shop already has a super level. A dish called Luminous Cuisine.

As one of Yuanyue’s former ten masters, Kadozaki Taki naturally knew what the so-called luminous dishes were, and she even took the time to go to that small shop to buy a five-color salad. Dominic.

But it was also because of this that Taki Kadozaki felt even more helpless. It stands to reason that Taki Kadozaki’s restaurant is taking the high-end route, while that small restaurant is taking the civilian or people-friendly route. The marketing strategies of the two stores are slightly different, so it shouldn’t have too much influence. But the emergence of luminous dishes easily breaks this seemingly stable balance.
