"No, no, I don't accept it, I don't accept such a cunning method!"
Nakiri Erina shouted.
At this moment, the Japanese people's habit of trying to get the best of both worlds broke out in her. She regarded Yan Kai's method of "getting the best of both worlds" as a "cunning method" and firmly opposed it.
She didn't care if this was good for all students, she just wanted Yueyue to return to her original self.
"I mean Miss Erina..." Yan Kai sighed, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Of course it is to restore the original system of Yueyue!"
Nakiri Erina said without hesitation.
“And then let all students fight for a single-digit graduation rate?”
Yan Kai asked rhetorically.
Nakiri Erina raised her head: "Although I'm sorry for the students who were eliminated, this is also to maintain Totsuki's prestige, and there is nothing we can do!"
What is Yuanyue? Totsuki is the number one sect in Japanese cuisine! He is the best king! As powerful as the "Eastern Kingdom, Western One Color", the two famous Japanese cuisine families have to eagerly send their children to Yuanyue to attend school (although one of them came here on his own after abandoning his family). This is Yuanyue. The card of the moon!
If you want something to command a high price, in addition to being good, it must also be rare enough. For LV bags, limited editions are always more expensive than classic editions!
If Totsuki graduates become mass-produced rubbish, then no matter how strong those Totsuki graduates are, Totsuki will at most be evaluated as an excellent culinary school and cannot be called a famous culinary school.
The word "famous family" represents not only strength, but more importantly, style! A famous family that lacks style is not a famous family, and the single-digit graduation rate is a marketing tool used by Yueyue to maintain its own style. It is absolutely impossible to give up!
Yan Kai thought for a while, okay, if you, a capitalist, don't get hung up on the street lights, who will?
Obviously, in the eyes of Nakiri Erina, the style of the brand "Totsuki" is much more important than the future of the students. Even if she knows that students will be "losers" for the rest of their lives after being kicked out by Totsuki. In the name of Nakiri Erina, it means that they are not strong enough and do not deserve sympathy at all.
The traditional education in the Central Plains emphasizes "teaching regardless of distinction and treating everyone equally" does not exist in Yuanyue. Yuanyue has always only cared about those outstanding students and only cared about the impact of students on their own reputation.
After thinking about it, Yan Kai finally understood where he had been feeling inconsistent with Yuan Yue.
No wonder he always felt that Yuanyue didn't look like a school. It turned out that Yuanyue was not a school at all, but a training ground for rating examinations. However, the examination time was extended to three years, and the training ground was also huge. Astonishingly, Totsuki Academy and various ancillary facilities have industries all over Japan.
The tuition fees paid by students every year cannot be called tuition fees. They should be called registration fees. No wonder they are so cheap. Students...ah, no, it is the candidates who have struggled for three years, overcome all obstacles and hardships, and survived more than 99%. Only with a high elimination rate can you finally get a glittering graduation certificate, and this diploma is also divided into three grades: "Yuanyue Graduate", "Ten Outstanding Graduates", and "One-seat Graduate".
Those who can become Yueyue graduates are already the kings of scrolls among Japanese cooks of the same age. And among the top ten graduates and one graduate, they are even more at the level of scroll gods. Graduates of Yueyue can only treat them. Looking up, everyone is a rising star in Japanese cuisine.
What's more, if Yan Kai thinks more darkly, Yuanyue Academy may not care about the culinary skills of the graduates. They only need to ensure that the graduates of each year are the strongest in the same year. Even if the skills are a little bit worse, unless a dish with a score of 100% and a dish with a score of 95% are tasted together, it will be difficult for most self-proclaimed gourmets to tell the difference between the two, let alone the best in Japan. The gourmet "God's Tongue" is from Toyuki, and it is obviously impossible for her to dismantle her own family.
This may be the reason for the existence of the Totsuki "Top Ten" system. Through a large number of "Shiji", the people with the highest cooking skills in the same grade are selected, and then they are strongly supported, giving them various resources first, and giving them abilities beyond the teachers. The power is used to win them over, ensure their advantage among students of the same age, and carve the indelible mark of Yueyue on them, making them inseparable from Yueyue.
Yan Kai also thought of the reason why Totsuki Academy slapped Tadokoro, who had been expelled once, back into the academy, because Totsuki would not allow a student who has not been certified by Totsuki to have the ability to compete with Totsuki graduates in the future. Strength, if Totsuki does not re-include Tadokoro, after Tadokoro shows her prominence in the Japanese cuisine industry in the future, the blow to Totsuki's brand will be fatal, so even if Totsuki is questioned by many powerful people in the cooking industry, Totsuki will not I had to bite the bullet and accept Tian Suohui again.
It wasn't that Nakiri Senzaemon was moved by Taborie's hard work and innocence, but the basic businessman's thinking of choosing the lesser of two evils.
Yan Kai sighed. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Nakiri Erina's idea. Although he didn't like this style of doing things, he would not force Nakiri Erina to do something that went against his own position.
Regardless of the cruelty of Totsuki's education policy, it is actually a very effective screening mechanism that can effectively find the best students. In addition, Totsuki has the highest number of high-quality students in the Japanese cuisine industry, and it is impossible to think of outstanding graduates. It's also impossible.
The students who can enter Yuanyue are only one in a hundred, and if they choose one in a hundred again, they will be one in a million. Let me ask, how can such a student not be outstanding?
This is of course cruel to the vast number of students who sign up for Yueyue. Ninety-nine percent of the students will eventually become stepping stones for others. But for Yuanyue school administrators, they simply don’t want to feel too comfortable because they know that Japan’s best Excellent cooks definitely come from Totsuki.
Rather than saying that Totsuki is a school, it is better to say that Totsuki is a refining field that swallows the dreams of other students and thrives, and the strongest students left behind are the graduates selected by Totsuki.
Anyway, for Yuanyue, they never make money from tuition fees. For them, students are not their parents, but "consumables". They can ignore the students' joys and sorrows and kick out the failed students mercilessly.
If Nakiri Erina is on the side of Totsuki's school, the educational policy implemented by Totsuki before is actually the best solution to maximize Totsuki's interests. She agrees that such an educational policy is understandable.
On the contrary, Nakiri Itachi, who plans to let every student graduate, has an education policy that is truly like a school, because he really intends to teach students to learn cooking skills. Although the method is a bit overbearing and does not allow students to change a single recipe, On the other hand, as long as the recipes of the professors from the "Gourmet Central Organization" are completely followed, the dishes produced by Totsuki students, if not 10%, will be close to the 70% to 80% level of the "Top Ten" members. For ordinary people, For students, this is a huge improvement.
It doesn’t matter if they developed this recipe, as long as they can make it, who cares about whether the chef’s dishes are original?
Nakiri Erina felt that Nakiri Thistle was destroying Totsuki. This was right and wrong. It was true that he destroyed the original Totsuki, but he also created a Totsuki that was "friendly" to most people.
In fact, Nakiri Hisagi gathered the outstanding members of Totsuki Academy to establish a "Gourmet Central Organization". The "Gourmet Central Organization" studies cooking skills and then teaches them to students. This is a good initiative. There is no need to restrict students from developing their own dishes. His extreme teaching method inevitably made Yan Kai make some bad associations, such as Japan before its defeat.
This kind of ruling method that does not allow a second voice will drag the entire Yuanyue to death if something goes wrong.
In fact, it would be nice if the educational philosophies of Erina Nakiri and Itsuki Nakiri could be neutralized, but...
Damn it, why are father and daughter so similar in their paranoia and extremes? It’s amazing!
Yan Kai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you Yuanyue, just tell me what you want to do when you go back to school..."
Yan Kai asked Nakiri Erina.
In fact, he doesn't care what happens to Yueyue in the end. If Tadokoro is really fired by Yueyue, he can also arrange for Tadokoro to go to the Central Plains. For Uncle Liu's disciples, even for the second restaurant on the second floor, then They are also vying for talents. As for Tian Suohui being Japanese... it doesn't matter to them at all. The Central Plains is not Japan. It doesn't exclude foreigners like Japan does. Maybe Tian Suohui will be given preferential treatment!
Nakiri Erina hesitated for a moment, and then said to Yan Kai: "No matter what, I want to ensure that the 'Polestar Ryo' and Alice will not be expelled from school and help them pass the promotion exam."
These are all the flames of resistance against Ji's regime, and they cannot be allowed to be extinguished like this.
"Okay, then I'll take you to Totsuki Academy."
Yan Kai stood up, stretched out to relax his muscles, and then stretched out his hand to Nakiri Erina.
"You, want to do that again?"
Nakiri Erina watched in horror as Yan Kai stretched out her hand. Although the hand was beautiful, as beautiful as a work of art, it reminded her of a nightmare two weeks ago.
Ugh~~~
Nakiri Erina instinctively felt nauseated.
"Otherwise, it would be a lot of trouble to travel by car. It will take at least more than an hour to get to Yuanyue. I don't have that much time to waste on the road." Yan Kai rolled his eyes.
If he hadn't promised Nakiri Senzaemon to take care of Nakiri Erina, he would have just called a taxi to take the "Bodhisattva" Nakiri Erina back to Totsuki.
Nakiri Erina swallowed, still feeling that Yan Kai's hand was terrifying.
"Hey, it's really... troublesome!"
Yan Kai pointed at his back: "Can I carry you on my back? It would take too long to go there by car. I can't accept it..."
If you use Qinggong, a round trip to Yankai will only take ten or twenty minutes, but if you go there by car, it may take more than two hours. Today is still the weekend. If you encounter a traffic jam, it may take more than this amount. This is good for It was a waste of time for him.
If you lie on your back, this is indeed better than being dragged "flying", but... isn't this shameful!
Nakiri Erina blushed.
"Then let's hold hands. I won't be in a hurry this time, so I'll try to be more steady."
Yan Kai extended his hand to Nakiri Erina again.
Either way, it doesn't matter to Yan Kai.
A struggle flashed in Nakiri Erina's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You'd better carry me on your back!"
She really didn't want to experience the previous experience of being flown like a kite again.
Then she looked at Yan Kai with vigilant eyes: "You can't take advantage of me!"
If she is carried on Yan Kai's back, she will inevitably be touched by Yan Kai in some forbidden areas for girls. If Yan Kai causes trouble...
Thinking of this, Nakiri Erina's face became even redder.
"..."
Yan Kai did not speak, but glanced at Nakiri Erina from beginning to end, and then let out a meaningful sigh.
"Fine."
Yan Kai showed a more meaningful smile.
"You, what do you mean!"
Nakiri Erina felt extremely insulted.
You bastard from the Central Plains, what's going on with that contemptuous smile that says, "You're so shabby in stature, you're afraid of people taking advantage of you?" My figure is perfect among my peers!
Well, it’s just that for people of the same age, compared with the figures of mature women like Mikado Ryoko and Tia Yu who live opposite Yan Kai, they do look a little shabby, and compared with the perfectly coordinated figure of the foreign woman next door to Yan Kai, they look even more shabby. She pales in comparison, even compared to her "half-sister" who is only one year older than me. She seems to be inferior...
"With your shabby figure, I don't care if you take advantage of me!"
She seemed to see Yan Kai saying this to herself with a disdainful and sarcastic expression.
This is unreasonable. Give me a few more years and I won’t be worse than them!
After Nakiri Erina figured it out, she was so filled with hatred.
"?"
Yan Kai looked at the angry Nakiri Erina and felt confused for a while.
It is true that he can feel the emotions of others, but this is not mind reading after all, but there is no way to know where Nakiri Erina's anger comes from.
Things in the school are important, so I don’t have time to pay attention to this Central Plains man!
Nakiri Erina suppressed her anger and signaled with her eyes to Yan Kai that she was ready.
Yan Kai squatted down and turned his head slightly so that Nakiri Erina could come up.
Nakiri Erina sat astride Yan Kai's back, and suddenly mischief arose in her heart. She patted the back of Yan Kai's head and said:
"drive!"
Thinking of Yan Kai as her own mount, Nakiri Erina's shame at being carried by Yan Kai disappeared instantly, and she even felt a little secretly happy.
Yan Kai showed a helpless expression: "Miss, how expensive are you this year?"
The implication is, why are you still so naive!
"Hmph, I want you to take care of it!"
Nakiri Erina couldn't help but curl up into a proud smile.
Taking advantage of this Central Plains man was a new feeling for Erina Nakiri.
"Okay, as long as you're happy..."
Yan Kai shook his head slightly.
Carrying Nakiri Erina out of the study, Yan Kai walked towards the balcony. When he passed by the living room, he said to Eve: "Eve, I have something to take Miss Erina out. I'll be back later."
"Um."
Eve only raised her eyes for a moment and then withdrew her gaze. When Yan Kai walked to the balcony, she suddenly reacted, raised her head again, and said, "Huh?"
Damn it, what did I just see? Are you dazzled by reading?
He walked to the balcony and said hello to Ajiu who was lying on the balcony doing "observation of the growth of chives". Yan Kai weighed Erina Nakiri on his back before jumping out of the balcony, and slightly adjusted her weight on his back. Then he said: "Well, it seems to be a lot heavier than before. It seems that Miss Erina, you should exercise more, otherwise..."
The proud smile on Nakiri Erina's face froze instantly, and her face became terrifyingly gloomy. Veins bloomed at the corners of her eyes, forehead, and cheeks. Her teeth made a "clack" sound. She finally lost her mind. When he said the content after "otherwise", he was like crazy, biting Yan Kai's shoulder!
