Yan Kai was too lazy to pay attention to the New Year's Day and New Year's matters for the time being. He saw Erina Nakiri with Kasumigaoka Shiu, and his heart moved: "Erina!"
"ah!"
Suddenly being called by Yan Kai, Nakiri Erina was a little confused and said in a voiceless voice: "What...what's the matter!"
"That's it..." Yan Kai suddenly stopped for words, thought for a while, and then asked Nakiri Erina: "Do you have the contact information of your former second-in-command Kobayashi Ringtong, Totsuki?"
"Why are you asking this?"
Nakiri Erina looked at Yan Kai with a wary expression.
It’s so rare to see this dead man, but his first sentence is to ask about other women. It’s really...
"It's like this. I made an agreement with her before. If she can help me prepare the ingredients, I will cook a special dish for her. I want to ask her if she is ready."
Yan Kai said to Nakiri Erina.
"You actually made an agreement with her to cook for her?!"
Nakiri Erina's voice suddenly rose an octave higher: "Asshole, if I ask you to help me with the cooking, you will refuse. If Kobayashi Ritsou asks you to help, you will do it. You look down on me, don't you?"
"Why are you so loud? Aren't you eating the food I usually cook?"
Yan Kai covered his ears and said.
This capitalist eldest lady is moody and really gives me a headache. It's hard work for Fei Sha to be able to tolerate her indefinitely.
"Don't try to fool me!" Nakiri Erina said even louder, "I'm not talking about the kind of dishes that are made casually, but the exquisite dishes that are carefully cooked with those precious ingredients!"
Although the dishes Yan Kai usually cooks are delicious, the ingredients used are very different, and since he cooks so many at once, he can't say he puts much thought into them.
"Prejudice, I always cook with great care."
Yan Kai said seriously.
He is not fooling Nakiri Erina, but no matter what the ingredients are, he does put great care into cooking every time. This is a matter of attitude, and he will not make mistakes on attitude issues.
"I don't care about that much!"
Nakiri Erina became arrogant and unreasonable.
Yan Kai gave up communicating with Nakiri Erina and turned to look at Nito Hisako: "Hisako, you should also know the contact information of Kobayashi Ringtong, right?"
If I had known that I would have asked for Kobayashi Ryodan's contact information when making the agreement, otherwise there would be no need to ask other people. The main reason was that Yan Kai casually said at that time whether Kobayashi Ryodan could help him collect the ingredients. I care, that's why I think of it now.
"Yes, I know the contact information of Senior Xiaolin, but I heard that she seems to be having a bad life recently."
Nito Hisako said while flipping through his address book.
"Having a bad time? What do you mean?"
Yan Kai couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that she was looking for money from people around some time ago, and she seemed to have mortgaged her diploma."
Nito Hisako said.
"ah?"…………………………
"Yan Sang, you finally remembered me!"
Xiaolin Ringtong rushed towards Yan Kai with tearful eyes, but Yan Kai easily avoided it.
"What's going on with you? Why did you use your diploma as collateral?"
Yan Kai asked Xiao Lin about Longdan Road.
She was one of the "Top Ten" graduates a month ago, and she graduated as a second-ranked student. How could she be so depressed that she mortgaged her diploma?
You know, Totsuki is diligent in issuing graduation certificates, but he is extremely stingy with graduation certificates. There are thousands of freshmen enrolled every year, and only less than ten of them can successfully graduate and receive the diplomas issued by Totsuki Academy. Graduation certificate, for many Totsuki students, this diploma may be the highest honorary certificate they can get in their life. Even if it is taken home, framed, and used as a family heirloom, there is no problem. I am afraid that once Totsuki Academy is established, This is the first time in a century that someone has mortgaged this diploma for a loan.
"no way
, I am short of money! "
Xiao Lin Long Dan was in vain. She felt aggrieved. She didn't know whether it was because of Yan Kai's indifference to her or the hardships she had endured these days.
"So, why are you so short of money?"
Yan Kai looked at Xiaolin Gentian. She was pretty and dressed like a cleaning aunt. She also exuded an indescribable odor. Her originally beautiful long hair was tied up casually, like a broom. Where did Nito Hisako say he was "not having a good life"? He was simply in extreme despair.
Is this still the high-spirited Yuanyue Erxi from before?
"Didn't you say that as long as I help you find the ingredients, you would help me cook?"
Kobayashi Gentian asked.
"Um."
"So, I went to the Amazon rainforest to help you find ingredients the next day. I wandered there for more than two months and finally found all the ingredients you wanted!"
Kobayashi Gentian replied.
"?"
Yan Kai looked at Xiaolin Gentian in shock.
Seriously speaking about this matter, I have to rely on Yan Kai.
At the "Moon Feast Festival" before, Yan Kai casually mentioned the "Full Poison Feast". He really just said it casually, but he said it unintentionally and listened with intention. However, Xiaolin Ringtong actually mentioned Yan Kai's "Full Poison Feast". Keep in mind.
She is a cook, but she is also an avid food lover. No, it should be more accurate to say that she is a food hunter. As long as she hears about some strange food, she will definitely run there and try it even if she is far away. try.
This time was no exception. After hearing Yan Kai talk about the All Poison Banquet, she approached Yan Kai and asked Yan Kai to make a list of ingredients for her.
Yes, Yan Kai said that there are many ingredients in Quandu Yan that are on the list of protected animals, but those are protected animals in the Central Plains. In other countries, it is hard to say what ingredients are, especially the Amazon rainforest, which has the richest biological species in the world. There are 2.5 million species of insects, tens of thousands of plants, and about 2,000 species of birds and mammals. This is a huge biological treasure trove, and for Kobayashi Gentian, this is a huge treasure trove of food ingredients.
She is a rare master of rare ingredients in Yuanyue. She has been dealing with the Amazon rainforest during school. She is well aware of the charm and mystery of the Amazon rainforest. She is also familiar with the biological species of the Amazon rainforest. After seeing the list of ingredients listed by Yan Kai When she was there, she discovered that there were many kinds of ingredients that could be found in the Amazon rainforest.
So, on the one hand, he used the strong connections he accumulated when he was one of Totsuki's "Top Ten" to collect ingredients available on the market. On the other hand, Kobayashi Ringtong established an exploration team and went deep into the Amazon rainforest, spending two days After many months, I finally collected most of the ingredients needed for the Full Poison Banquet. In addition to the ingredients that can be purchased directly, there are only a few rare ingredients that I have not yet purchased.
Whether it is purchasing ingredients or setting up an exploration team to go to the Amazon rainforest, it will cost a lot of money. In the past, Kobayashi Ringtong was one of Totsuki's "Top Ten" and enjoyed special privileges in Totsuki. As long as it was used for cooking, she She can apply for nearly unlimited funds to meet her various needs, but now that she has graduated, she can no longer enjoy such privileges and can only raise funds on her own.
After spending all his savings and borrowing money from all his acquaintances, the funding gap was still huge. As a last resort, Kobayashi Ritsou could only use his graduation certificate as collateral to borrow a large amount of money from the bank, which was barely enough to pay for the purchase. Ingredients and funds to form an exploration team, but she really didn’t have any money to place the ingredients later, so she could only shamelessly temporarily place the ingredients at Totsuki Academy. Only Totsuki Academy had such complete facilities to accommodate those Ingredients that require different growing environments. Read the book
However, although Totsuki Academy lent the venue to Kobayashi Ratsu because she was a graduate of Totsuki, the work of taking care of the ingredients and the feed required for those ingredients could only be done by Kobayashi Rōzu.
After collecting the ingredients needed for a complete poison banquet, Kobayashi Gentian's wallet was completely drained. He could only go to Si Yingshi's restaurant every day to steal some ingredients to use as feed for the poisonous creatures. As for the breeder, he had no choice but to feed the poisonous creatures. Rgent Kobayashi himself holds the role, so when Yan Kai sees Rgent Kobayashi, he will look like that.
listen
After Kobayashi Rgentan told the whole story, even Yan Kai couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Is it worth it?"
Yan Kai asked Xiao Lin about Longdan Road.
"It's worth it. As long as you can eat novel dishes that you've never tasted before, it's all worth it!"
Kobayashi Rgentan said very firmly.
"..."
Yan Kai took a deep breath, this is a cruel person!
"Yan Sang, you're here just in time, come with me quickly and take a look at the ingredients!"
Xiaolin Ringtong stretched out his hand to pull Yan Kai away.
Yan Kai frowned slightly, because Xiao Lin Gentian's hands were dirty, and he didn't know what was left on them. But thinking of the hardships Xiao Lin Gentian had suffered in the past two months, Yan Kai sighed and let Xiao Lin do it. Gendan grabbed his hand.
Yan Kai was brought into the breeding house. Inside the breeding house, countless ferocious-looking poisonous creatures immediately started making a commotion as soon as someone entered, hitting the glass cabinet that closed them. That scene, a slightly timid person, just walked into it. This breeding house will faint on the spot.
But Kobayashi Ringtong was not afraid at all. On the contrary, his eyes looked at those poisonous things with a golden light.
Thinking that these "little cuties" will eventually turn into delicious dishes, Kobayashi Ringtong is almost drooling when he looks at them. How can he be afraid of them?
Kobayashi Rgentan led Yan Kai to several glass cabinets, pointed at the glass cabinets and said: "Yan Sang, I have prepared most of the ingredients, but for a few of them, I really can't use legal means." Come on, can I use these instead?"
Although Yan Kai said that the ingredients of the All-Poison Banquet are indispensable, missing any one of them will turn Dabu's All-Poison Banquet into a giant poison banquet, the kind where you finish eating in the morning and prepare for the funeral, but several of the ingredients Xiaolin I can't find gentian, so I can only temporarily find some "close relatives" and poisons with similar toxicity. When I really can't find those ingredients, I will ask Yan Kai if he can use these instead, but now Yan Kai When he came, Xiaolin Ringtong simply asked Yan Kai directly. If it was possible, then the banquet could be held today. If Yan Kai couldn't handle it, then the banquet could be started today!
Well, it’s all open seats anyway.
Yan Kai pondered for a while, and then said to Xiaolin Ringtong: "I have to think about it."
The recipe for the Quan Du Feast has a long history, at least hundreds of years, and many of the ingredients have faced the crisis of extinction, so it is not that the ingredients have not been replaced, but this replacement cannot be done at will, and a set of rules must be followed. The complex and profound "formula" involves the five elements of yin and yang, and even Yan Kai cannot guarantee it directly.
"You should go and rest for a while. I will tell you when I have the answer."
Yan Kai calculated it again and again and told Xiaolin Ringtong.
"Great!"
Xiaolin Ringtong looked relieved. She was really exhausted these days.
In addition to the breeding house, surrounded by Kasumigaoka Shiu and others, including Totsuki's commander-in-chief, Nakiri Erina.
After Kobayashi Ritsou came closer, Nakiri Erina sniffed and couldn't help but take two steps back.
This taste is quite strong!
"Senior Xiaolin, you have worked hard these days. Why don't you go clean it first?"
Nito Hisako resisted the urge to cover her nose and forced a smile.
Kobayashi Ringtong raised her hand and smelled the smell on her body. Well, her cerebral cortex was tired and she couldn't smell it at all. But she also knew that she had been hanging out in the breeding house these days, helping to clean up the feces and urine of those poisons, and there must be something on her body. It smells bad.
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower and I'll be with you later."
Kobayashi Rgentan smiled and said, not feeling embarrassed at all that he was like this now.
Well, she just has this temper, otherwise she wouldn't be called "Toyue's Shame" by others, but for her, compared to delicious food, she can laugh off those gossips.
After about half an hour, Kobayashi Ringtong returned to the crowd after washing herself carefully. Since she had no other clothes, she changed back into her school uniform from Totsuki. She was still young and beautiful, like a high school girl. .
Of course, it can also be said that Kobayashi Rgentan is in Bi
There has been no progress at all in the nearly one year since I started my career.
During the half hour of waiting for Kobayashi Ringtong, Nakiri Erina and the others also knew the reason why Kobayashi Routou was acting like this, and their admiration for this foodie arose spontaneously in their hearts.
But admiration is admiration, and some things still have to be settled.
"Um, Senior Sister Xiaolin, let me ask a little bit, when will you pay back the money you owe me?"
Nito Hisako asked Kobayashi Ryodō.
In the past, Kobayashi Ringtone borrowed money from everyone she knew. Of course, the one who was robbed the most was her good partner Shi Yingshi, but Nito Hisako also lent a large sum of money to Kobayashi Ryoden. Of course, Nakiri Erina also had a role, but Commander Totsuki didn't bother to mention it.
"Secretary, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid that I will default on my debt?"
Kobayashi Ringtong was dissatisfied and said, "I might be able to eat a full poison feast today. I am in the mood for you. Why did Nito Hisako come to trouble her heart? It's the Chinese New Year, and I won't let others celebrate the New Year!"
"That's not true, it's just..."
Nito Hisako said.
Unlike other Totsuki graduates who were invited to work as chefs in high-end restaurants as soon as they graduated, or who returned home to inherit the family's restaurant or company, Kobayashi Ryokan became an unemployed vagrant after graduating from Totsuki, wandering around all day long. There is no serious job.
But yes, she actually wants to be a food hunter rather than a cook. She enjoys tasting food more than making food. This may be the reason why she has been reluctant to work after graduation. .
"Are you kidding me? I look like the kind of person who doesn't pay back money!"
Kobayashi Gendan said angrily.
Everyone was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, like!
Then Kobayashi Ritsugo thought for a while, okay, it seems that is indeed the case...
