"Chitong, why are you here?"
Yoshino Yuki didn't know Akohime, but Kasumigaoka Shiu certainly wouldn't fail to recognize her schoolmate and tutor, and was even more surprised than Yoshino Yuki that she would appear here.
"Yes, it's Senior Shiyu! Uncle Kai said that there is a place where you can eat for free, and he asked me to come and have a meal."
Aka Hitomi also noticed Kasumigaoka Shiu. She said something to Kasumigaoka Shiu, and then stared at Yukihira Soma without blinking, watching him start making Turkish barbecue.
"What I learned from that guy Hayama, I didn't expect to be able to use it so quickly!"
Yukihira Soma said with a smile while piling up the meat pillars.
In the past few days of "United Shogun", students like Ryo Hayama who were ordered to drop out of school, although they could not directly participate in the war, were still idle and doing their best to provide help to the members of the "Rebel" team. Soma Yukihira The Turkish barbecue he is making now was taught to him by Ryo Hayama.
The huge meat pillar was erected, rotating and being roasted by the electromagnetic equipment next to it. The oil and water on the meat pillar bubbled out, and Chitong's saliva dripped down.
"This... it's hard to calculate the score!"
Eastvale, the second-level executive officer of WGO who was responsible for rating the dishes, said with a grimace.
He and Shalum, who is also the second-class executive officer, are responsible for the food evaluation on one side, and he happens to be in charge of the "Rebel" team. Looking at Yukihira Souma's tall meat pillar, his heart is desperate.
The "Gourmet Central Organization", in pursuit of efficiency, only introduced six kinds of dishes, one for each of the six "Top Ten" members, and the remaining two ordinary members who joined in as subordinates.
For the six kinds of cuisine, after the first evaluation, Shalum only needed to monitor that each dish they made was not very different. There was no need to evaluate it again. On the contrary, Eastvale had almost the same score. Evaluating each dish would tire him out.
Chitong was waiting for her Turkish barbecue. Gradually, other people came towards the operation station of the "Rebel" team.
"To treat such an important 'Shokuji' as a street hawker is really..."
Shinomiya Kojiro looked at the busy members of the "Rebel" team, shook his head and sighed.
"Shinomiya, can you please shut up? You are so annoying every time you speak. Be careful of being thrown out!"
Miki Hinatako said something to Shinomiya Kojiro.
"Tch, stupid woman!"
Shinomiya Kojiro said angrily, although he wanted to teach her a lesson, but this time he was the one who owed it first, so he should let her go.
Not only Shinomiya Kojiro and Inui Hinata, most of the graduates who came with the old boss gathered in front of the "Rebel" team's operating table and took away the special dishes that the "Rebel" team had completed according to their own preferences. While enjoying the meal, there were also graduates who had never seen this kind of "eating halberd" before. They became playful and made things difficult for them, generally ordering some very unpopular dishes.
Fortunately, the "Rebel" team is well prepared, and the composition of the team is also very complex. Souma Yukihira is an all-rounder, Takemi is good at Italian cuisine, Isshiki Kei is good at Japanese cuisine, and Teruki Kuga is a master of Chinese food. Tohiko Sako researches medicinal foods, Megijima Tousuke can make ramen from any region, Nakiri Alice's molecular cuisine is exquisite, beautiful and novel, not to mention Mimasaku Subaru, he can imitate anyone's cooking.
Well, the premise is people.
With the concerted efforts of these eight chefs with different styles, the graduates' well-intentioned attempts to make things difficult for them were completely difficult.
"Wow... there are so many graduates. Are they all here to support us? It's so exciting..."
Yoshino Yuki said excitedly.
Ryoko Sakaki also said: "It seems that although the boss has retired, his connections are still there... I know that the boss who is all-powerful in the Japanese cuisine industry can't just retire like this!"
"Huh huh huh... As the saying goes, 'Those who have gained the right will get many help, but those who have lost the right will have little help'. This is proof of Commander Ji's perverse actions. Sure enough, our side is the one who is just!"
Zenji Marui pushed up his glasses and showed a confident smile.
Although he also wears large glasses, why are you so stupid while that Central Plains man is so cunning?
Kasumigaoka Shiha looked at the complacent Marui Zenji and felt puzzled, and then said softly: "Well... I think these Totsuki graduates siding with Erina's grandfather should have nothing to do with justice, but are just driven by interests."
"Hmm? Miss Kasumigaoka, why do you say that?"
Ryoko Sakaki wondered.
"This..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked around and saw that the graduates' attention was focused on the operating table of the "Rebel" team, so she whispered to Yoshino Yuki and other students, "What do you think, 'Gourmet Center' After the agency's establishment, who will cause the greatest harm?"
"Of course it's us students!"
Yoshino Yuki was the first to answer.
They changed the education model and expelled them again. These students are in a miserable state!
"There are also those high-end restaurants and catering companies..."
Ryoko Sakaki thought for a while and said that she also knew about the uproar some time ago. The "Gourmet Central Agency" did not follow martial ethics and personally embezzled other high-end restaurants and catering companies.
"It's not just these!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu shook his head slightly, "Really speaking, those Yuanyue graduates are the ones who have suffered the most."
"How is it possible? Those graduates have already graduated. Moreover, when the 'Food Center' went to major high-end restaurants to cause trouble, they always avoided restaurants with graduates!"
Zenji Marui shook his head repeatedly.
In his opinion, the recent series of actions of the "Gastronomy Central Organization" have deeply affected the entire Japanese cuisine industry, but if anyone can stand alone, it is probably only those Yueyue graduates.
"Hey..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu sighed, "You are too shallow to think so. Indeed, the 'Gourmet Central Organization' deliberately avoids confrontation with Totsuki graduates, but Totsuki graduates can compete in this If you are alone in the storm, you still think too little!"
"Let me ask you, if something is limited and very expensive, one day it suddenly becomes unlimited and mass production starts, and the price breaks through the floor all of a sudden. Who is the biggest victim?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the expelled Totsuki students.
"Of course they are those who bought it when the price was high..." Ye Shanliang touched his chin and said, and then suddenly realized, "You mean, those graduates are the ones who bought that thing when the price was high?"
"That's right!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded happily. It turns out that there are still people with sane minds here.
Kasumigaoka Shiu continued: "Even an ordinary student like me knows that Totsuki Academy is the best cooking school in Japan. The graduates who graduated from Totsuki Academy are excellent cooks with extraordinary cooking skills. Among them, The 'Top Ten' graduates are star chefs among chefs. As long as any restaurant has a Totsuki graduate as a chef, even if it was unknown before, even if it is just a newly opened restaurant, it will immediately become a famous restaurant. "
"But what about the future? I've heard that the 'Culinary Central Organization' wants all students to graduate. In the past, there were only about a dozen graduates per year in Yuanyue. Now, the number has suddenly increased by a hundred times. Guess, Do people in the world still have that unattainable feeling about the label 'Toyue Graduate'?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked.
"..."
At this time, the members of the "Pole Star Liao" and other expelled students fell silent.
If anything wants to be sold expensively, it must be good and rare enough. After all, most people understand this. These students also understood this truth after being pointed out by Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
And if you think about it, it's true.
Generally speaking, Totsuki graduates are booked into high-end restaurants before graduation. After graduation, they will work as chefs in high-end restaurants. There are also families who own high-end restaurants and directly inherit the high-end restaurants in their families after graduation.
There are also those who like to work hard, such as Kojiro Shinomiya. After graduating as one of the "Top Ten", he went directly to France. He used the scholarships he received in school and the prize money from participating in various cooking competitions to open a restaurant in the 8th district of Paris, which is on the forefront of international cuisine. , who serves as both store manager and chef, became famous in Paris and became the first Japanese to receive the "Order of Prussia". Now he has opened a branch in Tokyo.
This can be regarded as the pinnacle of self-employment by Yuanyue graduates.
When there are only a dozen or so graduates from Yueyue every year, these graduates are valuable talents that all high-end restaurants and large catering companies are looking for. But what if the number of Yueyue graduates every year is hundreds or even thousands?
It's hard to say about other places. Anyway, Japan doesn't have that many high-end restaurants and large catering companies that can swallow nearly a thousand Yueyue graduates, let alone more than a thousand graduates every year.
High-end restaurants and large catering companies are limited. Once they cannot absorb so many Yuanyue graduates, those Yuanyue graduates will inevitably have to work in ordinary restaurants and small and medium-sized catering companies. In this way, there will always be Yuanyue graduates. The high-end label is gone.
Of course, people who know the culinary industry will know that Totsuki graduates are just ordinary people. The real culinary elites are the "central gastronomic institutions". The students who come out of the central gastronomic institutions are the real top students and precious talents. .
But there is a problem here. Before the establishment of the "Gourmet Central Organization", after going through untold hardships, with the momentum of "thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge", they passed five levels and killed six generals, defeating 99% of the same period. , those graduates who graduated on the shoulders of other students, what should they do? Can the "Gourmet Central Agency" still provide them with a certificate of "Gourmet Central Agency"?
Therefore, the "Culinary Central Organization" declares that all Totsuki students can graduate, which is equivalent to destroying the reputation of other Totsuki graduates.
After Yuanyue graduates benefited from the signboard "Yuanyue", the signboard "Yuanyue" can only become brighter and brighter, and it must not be stained with dust. The old Yuanyue graduates only allow later graduates to go beyond We will never allow those mass-produced students who only repeat other people's recipes to be called "Totsuki graduates" like them. This is an insult to them.
Nakiri Senzaemon can respond to hundreds of responses. In addition to his indeed high prestige among those graduates, this level of interest is the biggest reason that drives those graduates to support Nakiri Senzaemon.
We are all members of society, so no one really thinks that those graduates came back to help out of love for the school, right?
Kasumigaoka Shiu's analysis made a group of students who had not been exposed to the evils of society feel chilled, but they felt that Kasumigaoka Shiu's words were so right that they had no way to refute them.
After spending a long time with my juniors, my heart has darkened. I actually think about why those Totsuki graduates came to help Erina and the others from this perspective. Alas... I blame my juniors for bringing me, who is pure and kind, broken!
Kasumigaoka Shiyu sighed and threw the pot to Yan Kai.
Regardless of the psychology of those Totsuki graduates who sided with the "rebels", their support for the "rebels" team was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. It felt like the situation was beyond his expectation, and on the other hand, it was because he found that some of the students were beginning to waver.
"It's Senior Shinomiya, the first Japanese to win the 'Prusspur Order'!"
"There is also Kirita-senpai. At the same time, he participated in a food competition last year and came back with a winning trophy!"
"General Qian, I am your admirer. Can you sign your name for me?"
These Totsuki graduates are all stars active in the Japanese cuisine world. Various food magazines always take the trouble to publish their photos, report their stories, and introduce their specialty dishes, making many students become their admirers. , no, it should be said that there are many students who admire them and then embark on the path of cooking and enter Totsuki Academy.
Seeing their idols visiting the counter of the "Rebel" team and tasting the dishes prepared by the "Rebel" team with a smile on their faces, many students slowly moved towards the "Rebel" team. .
Well, we are not here to support the "Rebels" team, we are just here to get close to our idols!
Well, it’s so embarrassing to be so close, we’re just showing off with a plate of food!
That, we didn't plan to eat, taking a bite was just a cover-up, a cover-up. Yes, that’s right, it’s a cover-up!
Well, as cooks, it’s not good to waste food. Since we’ve taken one bite, if we don’t finish it, it will look like we have no quality.
Well, it looks a bit strange to be holding an empty plate. Let’s change it!
That... Commander, you believe us, we are really on your side! Trust us!
The Totsuki students who were eating plate after plate of food on the "Rebel" team noticed the gloomy look in Nakiri Thistle's eyes, and responded to Commander Thistle with very sincere eyes.
Although their reason tells them to stand firmly on the side of the "Gourmet Central Agency" so that they can graduate, the power of idols and food pulls them to the side of the "Rebel" team and makes them work for the "Rebels" team. The Defiant team contributed points.
Bastard, don’t you know that I did all this for you! You actually came to tear down my stage!
A vein appeared on Nakiri Thistle's forehead, and then he looked at the console of the "Gourmet Central Organization".
After fighting for a long time, they finally realized that they could no longer mess around. They all put aside their differences and began to concentrate on cooking. Plates of delicious food were generally delivered to the assembly line. Firmly standing on the side of the "gourmet central organ" in the hands of students.
Seeing that the number of students standing on the side of the "Gourmet Center" was still far greater than that of the "Rebels" team, Nakiri Thistle breathed a sigh of relief, and the veins on his forehead shrank back.
But soon, the retracted veins burst out again, and they became thicker and more bulging than before, as if they were about to burst.
"You guys, what are you doing!"
Nakiri Kiku asked the four people in front of him in an angry voice.
"us?"
Seitaro Raihao pushed up his sunglasses, looked at Nakiri Hisagi with a calm face and said, "Of course I'm here to eat."
