Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Undercurrent (Part 2)

To become one of the top ten, Akakubo Momo’s culinary skills are naturally very good, at least, in her age group, she is absolutely top-notch.

The strength of the second-class chef is close to that of the first-class chef, and the desserts are comparable to many first-class chefs. There is no special chef in the preliminaries assigned to the group, plus a little bit of luck at the end. A combination of various reasons, it is produced. Akane Kubomomo qualified from the preliminaries.

Passing the preliminaries of the dessert competition to enter the knockout round, this was a piece of heavy news that could offset the negative rumors of Akane Kubo-momo. After getting the news in the afternoon, Yuanyue’s executives even found Akakubo-momo specifically and told her that Akakubo-tamo would Will become her most solid backing, willing to provide her with more high-grade ingredients during her participation in the competition, and may even find some fantasy ingredients.

Yuanyue’s board of directors will not let go of this opportunity to expand the influence of the academy.

But the students in the college, especially the higher department…

“Have you heard? In the afternoon, Sister Akakubo passed the preliminaries of the dessert competition.”

“The news is too late. This kind of thing should have been known as early as the end of the preliminaries.”

“Eh?! Our school’s top ten are already so powerful? Can they even beat a super chef?”

“How is that possible? It’s just that Akakubo-senpai’s lucky draw was good, and she just happened to be assigned to a group without a special chef, and the two rounds of preliminaries just happened to be the theme for her to play.”

“That’s it…wait! Doesn’t that mean that Akakubo-senpai won’t make it far in the knockout round?”

“It’s not just that you can’t go far. Unless you match up with the other three, no, two first-class chefs, there is a high probability that Akakubo-senpai will be eliminated in the first round.”

“So miserable?”

“Hey, hey, that’s a world-class competition. It can show your face in front of millions, or even tens of millions of spectators. Let alone just a round of tour, I’m willing to be a helper for Sister Akakubo what.”

“It’s a good idea. How can the other ten masters let go of this opportunity? Even if those ten masters give up with scruples, there must be someone from the second and third grades who is willing to help. The chance of our turn is infinitely close to zero. .”

“…This year’s dessert competition, are there very few super chefs participating?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Didn’t you say everything? Including Akakubo-senpai, a total of three first-class chefs passed the preliminaries.”

“Oh, this isah. In fact, there are four first-class chefs who passed the preliminaries, but if the last guy is classified as a first-class chef, I feel a little sorry for the other contestants. ”

“I know, it’s that guy named Xie Yunfei, right? I specifically watched the video of the two games the day before yesterday. That guy… Mingming is about the same age as us, but his strength is better than many special chefs.”

“You… I remember you were a penetration student, so it’s no wonder that you don’t know about Xie Yunfei.”

“Well, is this guy very famous?”

“I don’t know about the distance, but within the distance, more than two months ago, Xie Yunfei was a student of this academy just like you and me.”

“what!”

“It’s too early to be scared now. I believe you have guessed the reason why you haven’t seen him in the academy. He was defeated by eating the halberd, and then dropped out of school in accordance with the agreement made before eating the halberd.”

“It turned out to be like this! I feel like I’ve been frightened… But wait, who can beat him who can make glowing dishes?!”

“…” X2

“You might not believe it, but it’s Sister Akakubo.”

“Hey, hey, is this bullshit too big?”

“But the fact is like this, Xie Yunfei is also unlucky, being targeted by Ruishan…the insidious villain (whispering), it was originally a food halberd to determine the ownership of the midpoint research recipe, but in the end, who did he become? Whoever loses will drop out of school and bet on the top ten seats.”

“But even so, with the strength Xie Yunfei showed during the competition, it’s impossible for him to lose to Sister Qiankubo?”

“At that time, he was not as strong as he is now. Although he was called a strong candidate for the next Top Ten, he was only slightly better than you and me. He was barely comparable to Akakubo-senpai in terms of making desserts. confrontation.”

“Evenly matched?”

“Not exactly, but it’s about the same.”

“Actually, the halberd-eating showdown attracted many students to watch the match, including even second-year and third-year seniors. It’s a pity…”

“What a pity?”

“On the day of the competition, Xie Yunfei’s adoptive father happened to have a traffic accident and unfortunately passed away.”

“…So, because of excessive sadness, Xie Yunfei played abnormally and lost in the end?”

“Well, I heard that he left Yuanyue the day after the competition. According to some students, it seems that he opened a small mobile store in the West District of Tokyo.”

“This guy, he’s just a little bit out of luck.”

“Who knows, but maybe it really is in response to a saying that has been circulated outside, ‘Chefs who are not expelled by Yuanyue will not be special chefs’. It has only been less than three months since Yuanyue left, and Xie Yunfei seems to have awakened. Generally speaking, cooking skills are gradually improving, and now, not only the first-class chef certified by the food research institute, but even the luminous dishes that only those special chefs can make, he can also cook. ”

“If he continues to grow, perhaps we will witness a legend.”

“Who knows about those things, there are many geniuses who died halfway in the culinary world, Xie Yunfei, maybe like those seniors, will become a meteor passing by. Hehehe, instead of caring about those things, I have a lot of respect for Sister Akane Kubo at this time.” I feel more curious.”

“What do you mean… Oh! So that’s how it is!”

“It was suggested on the Internet a long time ago, saying that it would be best for Senior Sister Qian Kubo and Xie Yunfei to be in the same group, or at least meet each other in the knockout round.”

“Hey, hey, this is too unfair to Sister Akakubo.”

“Is it fair? When Xie Yunfei suffered a disastrous defeat, the injustice he suffered was definitely not small.”

…

Similar conversations were constantly mentioned in the classrooms, clubs, and dormitories of Yuanyue College.

Most of the students of Yuanyue College are just reserve chefs. Although there are so-called “hardworking” or even “renowned families” who have learned cooking from their parents since childhood, these people, without exception, are all interested in the next dessert competition. interest.

People you know participate in the competition, and people you don’t know participate in the competition. The mood when watching the dessert competition is completely different in these two situations.

As for what’s different… Well, probably, it’s just that we can talk a little more.
