"Hmm!" Nakiri Senzaemon, who was as strong as a fighter, was reduced to an ordinary old man in the face of gout, but he still appeared in the Totsuki Ten Elite Council.
I have taken the medicine to treat gout, and it may have some effect, but the pain is still painful, and the swelling is still swollen... Of course, with the advancement of modern medicine, there are more ways to treat gout than just taking small pills, and hemodialysis is one of the treatments. However, Nakiri Senzaemon was worried that hemodialysis would also filter out the medicinal ingredients that prolong life, so he gave up after careful consideration.
He has no gratitude towards a certain man with a bad taste, but he has no regrets at all about eating the bento he made. After all, hell only lasts for a month or two, and heaven will extend for another one or two years. This kind of deal is definitely a good deal.
"Tsk, tsk~ I don't know if it will prolong life, but adding enough purine must be enough~" The second seat said teasingly, looking at Nakiri Senzaemon's face twisted in pain.
Nakiri Alice, who does not belong to the Totsuki Ten Heroes and is following Nakiri Senzaemon as her granddaughter, corrected her: "That's not right~ Gout is one of the symptoms caused by excessive uric acid in the body, not the only one. Symptoms, after a detailed physical examination, it was found that grandpa is otherwise very healthy. This abnormal result is good news."
If the life is extended for more than ten years, visible changes will occur, but if the life is only extended for one or two years, basically there will be no conclusion in the end.
"...!" The eyes of Yuanyue's ten heroes changed invariably.
Who says young people have no desire for immortality? Besides, the elixir of life is the prize for the first place, and there are other prizes for other places, so they don't believe it can be any worse.
"Ahem, let's end my questions here." Nakiri Senzaemon changed the subject with a straight face, "It seems that everyone here will choose to participate, so there is one thing I want to tell you - there are nine judges in total for this competition. One person is a chef with solid basic skills but lacks ambition, four are laymen, and the identity of the other four is unknown, which is different from what you are usually familiar with."
He knew very well that the top ten pretentious people among the Yuanyue Ten would not necessarily take the time to watch the autumn trials of the juniors, so naturally they did not know this key information.
"A layman?" Yuanyue's ten heroes all frowned.
"I still have basic appreciation skills. I don't think that potato chips with Coca-Cola are more delicious than carefully processed food. This probably means three things." Nakiri Alice explained with a smile and raised three fingers, "One , their sense of taste is very dull, they can't taste the artistic cooking, and they are playing the piano to others."
"We often do this kind of thing by providing delicious food to laymen." Qi Xi, who is good at bringing out the original flavor of the ingredients, mused, "But if we let laymen rate it, that's another matter... Is it possible? , the conditions are very unfavorable to me?"
Alice Nakiri continued: "Secondly, they have personal preferences that shouldn't exist as judges. Some people don't like dishes that use a lot of spices, some particularly like to eat carrots, and some find the soft texture disgusting."
"Wait a minute! Are they still partial to food?" The second seat, who is good at using rare ingredients, is worried that dishes like 'Formic acid crocodile meat' will not even be qualified to be rated.
Nakiri Alice pulled the last finger: "Thirdly, their taste adaptation range is very narrow, and they may not be able to accept extremely impactful flavors...such as overly spicy dishes."
"My Mapo Tofu is a delicacy that even people who are not used to spicy food can appreciate!" Seat 8, who specializes in Chinese and Sichuan cuisine, stood up and strode out of the conference room:
"...Okay, now someone has verified it for us." Nakiri Erina said calmly, "Grandpa, let's move on to the next topic."
Nakiri Senzaemon nodded and said loudly: "There is still half a year left. We should select qualified contestants without hampering the school's normal operations."
Constrained by the gastric capacity of the judges, the number of contestants is limited, which is an inevitable problem.
The seventh person raised his hand and said, "Do we, the Ten Heroes of Yuanyue, have the right to recommend?"
Nakiri Senzaemon's heart moved, and he said seriously: "Of course, you need the strength that we recognize."
"I recommend first-year Yukihira Soma." The seventh seat said with a smile.

"What do you think of my Mapo Tofu~" The eighth seat, who forcibly stopped Feiton and his party, quickly cooked his most skilled dish and prayed for a miracle to happen.
"Not bad~" X1
"Too spicy!" X4
The miracle did not happen, and the fact that only Feton still held a spoon in his hand speaks volumes.
The eighth seat is very confident in his cooking skills. This mapo tofu dish has also received praise from countless diners at the school festival: "It's so spicy that it feels like your tongue is on fire, and it's numb as if your taste buds are trembling, but the more you eat it, the better it gets." I can’t stop eating, don’t you feel this way?!”
Kaguya put down her tea cup and said coldly: "Not at all. It's better to say that this dish is the only dish I can't eat since I came to Totsuki Academy."
"What!?" The eighth seat was sunk.
"To be fair, there's nothing wrong with your cooking skills and there's nothing wrong with your recipes. It's just that they can't eat spicy food." Feiton chuckled, "But then again, if we take the initiative to go to your store, we'd be mean. It’s our own problem that we ordered this Sichuan dish and couldn’t eat it. But now that you’re stopping us and letting us taste this Sichuan dish, I think you can optimize your service and ask us in advance how spicy we want it to be.”
Kaguya pondered: "With a three-point spiciness level, I should be able to eat this dish normally."
Lingxian said cautiously: "The 'spiciness' of chili pepper is okay, but the 'numbing' of peppercorns is a bit..."
"I hate Sichuan peppercorns, I hate Sichuan peppercorns!" Di slapped the table like a child.
Yong Lin commented from a doctor’s perspective: “This kind of food is too irritating to the gastrointestinal tract and should not be eaten for a long time.”
"No, it's impossible...! My cooking should be something that everyone...can enjoy with a smile...!" The eighth seat put on the classic Orz pose on the ground.
"Well, where in the world can there be delicious food that can suit everyone's preferences?" Feiton rolled his eyes and whispered something into Yong Lin's ear, asking for a black pill, "Brother, can you Can you cook a dish that is only spicy and not numb?"
Kaguya said 'three points spicy', Feiton was extremely suspicious that she was giving the answer out of dignity, so he deducted one point without authorization.
"?" The eighth seat raised his head. In his opinion, these four lay girls were the devils who were more terrifying than the most picky judges.
"There are still two hours before lunch. If you can cook a lunch that satisfies the five of us." Feiton held the pill between his fingers and shook it. "This pill will make you 20 taller." Centimeter of elixir will be given to you as a reward."
"What did you say!?" The eighth seat of the Yuanyue Ten Elites, who is excellent at cooking, makes a lot of money, has a group of younger brothers, is pretty handsome, and has a good personality, has a sad shortcoming.
