"Shokuji? Or with a cook who just passed the three-star assessment?"

Kirie Rina's eyes showed confusion after receiving the news from Nito Hisako.

"What did he think?"

"The finals are about to begin. Before that, have a fight with others? Is it a waste of time and energy?"

Just when Kirie Rina wanted to go to Zhao Youqian and grab him by the neck, and ask him what he was thinking about in his head.

Kirisenzaemon came down from upstairs.

"Hey, if you provoke the young tiger, you will have to pay the price of being counterattacked!"

A word of unknown meaning was spoken in his mouth. Nito Hisako did not understand it, but Kiri Erina did understand something.

Her angry look calmed down a lot, and she became the aloof princess of the Yuanyue Group again.

"Anyone else dares to provoke someone who is favored by Yuanyue?"

With a meaningful look in his eyes, Kirisenzaemon watched his granddaughter's mood swings, but he didn't want to stop anything.

"Of course not in the light, but in the darkness..."

"Those guys will do whatever it takes to get what they want!"

Her expression changed slightly, but Kirina didn't show anything unusual.

"Is he actually a dark cook?"

Then he snorted coldly.

"A bunch of rats hiding in the gutter, how dare they get involved in Yuanyue's affairs?"

The lion-like Food Demon King has a particularly cold expression.

"Of course they wouldn't dare, but with the gourmet party and that man's backing, you don't know."

"And that urban life planning company..."

Kiri Erina, who turned pale after hearing 'that man', quickly calmed down.

"Grandpa, do we want it?"

Shaking his head, Kirisenzaemon showed a smile on his lips.

"The cubs are still tigers. Sending some sparrows up there will only serve as food for the cubs to grow up!"

Watching the sun getting brighter, Senzaemon raised his feet to go out. When he noticed that Erina didn't move, he couldn't help but look back at his granddaughter.

"What? Don't you want to see the young tiger showing its teeth?"

A hearty laugh rang out, Kiri Erina's huge pupils flashed with a trace of confusion, and finally she followed her grandfather's footsteps.

On the other hand, Nito Hisako, who was holding the folder, had already noticed Kiri Erina's tangled emotions at this time, and had a different perception of the Yaoshu boy who was covered in mist.

...

"Fresh halberd?"

"Interesting, I originally thought about contacting that boy again in a few days, but I didn't expect that there would be an opportunity!"

The subordinate was flipping through the information about the Shokugeki, and when he saw a familiar name, Igo Kyoto Imperial Branch Chief Kyusou Rukon's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly calmed down.

"I'll adjust my schedule today. I'll go to the Lower Commercial Street to host a food show at noon!"

The secretary, who looked like a man from Dongying, was stunned when he heard this, then bowed and went down immediately to make arrangements.

He didn't complain at all because his superiors randomly adjusted the schedule, but he just looked at the information about the Shoji event.

"What are you doing, Zhao You?"

"It's indeed a noteworthy name!"

Pushing up the glasses on his nose, a deep look flashed in the secretary's eyes...

...

At three o'clock in the morning, in order not to delay the opening of the store in the afternoon, Zhao Youqian determined the time and place and let the other party choose the topic and ingredients.

This is also to see what the other party wants to test.

Zhao Youqian was surprised by the wide range of ingredients such as crab.

However, seeing the cooking topic chosen by the other party, Zhao Youqian already understood why the first person they tried was such an ordinary-looking young chef.

The title of Shiji is exactly that!

Soup!

As the old saying goes: the actor's accent, the pharmacist's prescription, and the cook's soup.

For cooks, the level of making soup is naturally a test of their basic skills. However, as we all know, Yaozhou is a big country of soups, and Yaozhou chefs’ research on soup is also extraordinary.

Choosing such a topic was like running into Zhao Youqian's arms. After choosing this topic, the obedient young man actually gained a little more confidence.

This made Zhao Youqian quite confused and very vigilant.

After all, the scope of soup is too broad. If porridge is cooked from rice, it can also be regarded as a kind of soup, including soup, stew and soup.

There are so many ways to cook it, and there are countless combinations of crab and soup. Such a topic actually made Zhao Youqian a little confused at first.

'I just don't know what recipe they prepared...'

Seeing that the stage prepared for the finals of the Commercial Street Food Competition was approaching, Zhao Youqian walked in without much hesitation.

With the existence of igo, all the ingredients for both parties are purchased by igo. You only need to pay the material fee, which can also maximize the fairness of the food.

It also prevents each other from destroying ingredients, which is also a way to curb the dark cooking world.

Although igo acknowledges the existence of the Gourmet Club, he is the sworn enemy of the Gourmet Club and will naturally establish rules against darkness around the world.

Many of the rules in Shokoku are preparations for dealing with darkness.

Zhao Youqian and the young man each chose a judge, and the third judge will be sent by a dedicated person from igo. This is also to determine the fairness of Shiji. The judge sent by igo is not only the judge of Shiji, but also the judge of this game. Supervision of Shoji.

Seeing the staff who had already prepared on the stage, Zhao Youqian directly entered the Shiji venue. The first thing he had to check was his ingredients and whether the kitchen utensils he brought were still in good condition.

"Boy, you have to show more skills and don't relax too much!"

A familiar voice sounded from behind, and Zhao Youqian showed a hint of joy.

"Sorry to trouble you again, Mr. Seiichiro!"

Even though Seiichiro Yukihira is serving as a judge for Shokugeki, he is still dressed casually.

Unruly hair hung in front of his eyes.

Seeing Zhao Youqian thanking him, he just waved his hand lazily.

"Fortunately you asked me to come, otherwise that guy over there... wouldn't be a nice gentleman!"

Following Seiichiro's gaze, on the other side of the cooking table, a big man who looked like a polar bear narrowed his eyes, like a simple and honest stupid bear, and was saying something to Zhao Youqian's opponent.

"He is one of the most troublesome guys among the dark chefs of Tou Sakura, Special Chef Kitashiro Kumamoto!"

As if he noticed Seiichiro Yukihira's gaze, Kitashiro Xiongmoto turned around and looked over. When he noticed Seiichiro Yukihira, his eyes flickered slightly.

'Is it that person?'

However, the lazy temperament was really different from the maniacally laughing Shura in his memory. Without going into details, this strong man among the dark cooks stared at the young man in front of him.

"Use what I have taught you, or else..."

"Your life will be given to him!"

"Do you understand?"

The voice was not very high-pitched, but it had a hint of terrifying wildness like a ferocious beast. After hearing this, the young man shuddered and nodded quickly.

Ignoring the trash in front of him who was destined to become cannon fodder, Beidai Xiong Yuan's eyes fell on Zhao Youqian.

'Let me see what level you, a genius from Yaozhou, can achieve!'
