"fusion"

The two words typed on the screen immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

Countless students began to discuss it, and in a corner of the stage, where there were only single rooms, several young people with an imposing manner different from ordinary students saw their expressions change as they looked at the words on the screen.

"Is it so difficult (easy)?"

The exclamations came out at the same time, but they didn't mean the same thing.

The boy who said the simple words glanced at his companion who had objections, and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.

"Why is this question so difficult?"

Upon hearing the question, the young man who let out another exclamation showed a shy expression and spoke rather nervously.

"That, um, that..."

"The fusion topic seems very simple, but don't forget who the judges above are..."

"Having tasted countless delicacies, they will have stricter requirements on the simpler the food, not to mention that fusion can be divided into taste, cuisine, and even the concept of the dish itself."

The young man who initially said the topic was simple showed a glint in his eyes.

"So this question is actually difficult?"

Kirie Rina, who had been silent and did not participate in the topic, could not help but speak now and acted aggressively when she spoke.

"Nonsense, Eizan Etsuya, aren't you stupid for being the boss? There is no question that is not super difficult to surpass Samsung's igo test, let alone this kind of lineup used this time..."

As one of the ten elites of Totsuki's special student group, Kiri Erina holds power. The other ten elites naturally also have power. Eizan Edazu is the ninth among them and is still called the "Alchemist".

A man who has managed dozens of restaurants without even graduating from a high school.

"Don't compare it with those pediatric competitions in school. Now Teacher Zhao Youqian is facing an assessment from the strongest group of people in the Dongying cuisine world!"

When her eyes fell on the figures on the jury, Erina Kiri's eyes flashed with a bit of brilliance, and finally she glanced at Zhao Youqian, who looked solemn.

...

"The assessment questions have come out. Examiner Zhao Youqian, please listen carefully."

"You have four hours of assessment time. Please make at least three dishes. If all of them are approved by the jury, you can pass this assessment!"

“Please remember that’s all!”

Jiucou Luyuan looked serious at this time, just like the patron saint in the solemn hall.

An invisible majesty suppressed all the students present.

"If you fail the assessment, igo will not accept any more assessment applications from you within two years!"

There will naturally be a price to pay for starting the Beyond Star Assessment. Although the price is not big, it is still a heavy blow to a growing cook.

Cooking skills, cooking heart, and invisible cooking luck will all affect a chef's life. Once the rising momentum is interrupted, Zhao Youqian wants to gather this momentum again and become the person who breaks the stagnant calm of Dongying's culinary world.

, the possibility is not high.

Zhao Youqian nodded to indicate that he fully understood, and Jiuzou Luyuan didn't talk nonsense.

"Then the assessment!"

"start!"

...

"Interesting, the topic of fusion, who came up with this?"

Fengjian Xuezhi, with her hair as white as snow, asked in a low voice.

"I heard that the test questions were sent directly from igo headquarters."

As a landowner, Kirisenzaemon always has some conveniences that outsiders would never expect, which also made several judges present look slightly moved.

"igo headquarters? It seems that Mr. Luyuan has put a lot of effort into this assessment!"

The high priest of Sengen Shrine looks like an old man whose candle is about to go out, but his voice is full of energy, and his red and white maiden uniform is really eye-catching.

Facing these judges whose strength and reputation were greater than his own, Jiuzou Luyuan, who could only sit with them because of his position as head of the igo division, showed an awkward smile.

"I don't dare, it's just that I think this is the best opportunity."

"I don't know how many more years it will take to wait for such an opportunity..."

Hearing Jiucou Luyuan's words, the faces of several old men present were twitching. They didn't know what they thought of, and they suddenly lost interest in chatting.

...

At this time, Zhao Youqian was standing in the center of the stage with his eyes closed tightly. Only the constant movement of his pupils showed that he was thinking of ways to solve the problem very quickly.

'Integration of cuisines or tastes is already too superficial. People who come here are all big people, so naturally they won't simply approve of these methods.'

'Then the only way to find a loophole is in the kitchen's heart and artistic conception.'

As the dishes passed through his mind, the inspiration in Zhao Youqian's heart became brighter and brighter. Especially when a broken recipe passed through his mind, his inspiration burned to its peak in his mind!

Opening his eyes suddenly, Zhao Youqian showed a confident smile.

"Yes!"

He already had the prototype of the construction in his mind, so he started to take action. A huge trolley was pushed out from behind the cooking table. Opposite him, a place filled with air-conditioning was the cold storage where he needed to find the ingredients.

‘Red lantern, bullet, seven-star pepper’

‘vine pepper, peppercorn pepper’

‘Chicken, hairy crab, soft-shell turtle, Tan sheep mutton chops’

The ingredients were loaded onto Zhao Youqian's trolley one by one. While selecting, Zhao Youqian came to the mountain treasure warehouse, searched back and forth, and saw what he liked in a corner.

'There is something so fresh this season...'

‘igo is indeed very powerful!’

As Zhao Youqian put the ingredients on the trolley, some of the dishes Zhao Youqian made were also recognized.

"With this material, he wants to make the Suzaku flames again?"

Xing Ping Soma looked at the familiar ingredients on the big screen with a hint of doubt.

As a cook, he couldn't see what that dish had to do with fusion, and the ingredients he used were either warming or hot, and turtle is synonymous with the Great Cold, which is simply the opposite of the word fusion. .

Tasting food with different properties together, if it cannot be effectively balanced, is not good for the body, let alone in such an occasion.

Because of Marui Zenji's explanation, he already roughly understood how difficult the problem Zhao Youqian faced was, and he didn't want to see Zhao Youqian lose in some competition before he lost to him.

However, Kirisenzaemon saw some knowledge.

He was the only one in the room who had reached that level, and began to understand Yaozhou's cuisine through analogy.

I can vaguely see Zhao Youqian’s problem-solving skills!

“Are they both mutually reinforcing and mutually incompatible?”

"This is a very bold attempt! Can you do it? Brother Yougan!"

After putting all the ingredients back on his cooking table and starting to process the ingredients, Zhao You's dry noodles were already calm and peaceful.

Just as Kirisenzaemon guessed.

Mutual generation and mutual restraint is his approach to solving the question of fusion!

"first course!"
