Isayama Yomi shook his head and pointed to the information on the screen.
At this time, Zhao Youqian noticed that in addition to the contestants from India and Thailand, there were also contestants from the two parties that he was very familiar with.
For example, Ximei, who rarely participates in igo's special assessments, this year's candidate is the former Toying supernova who Zhao Youqian is very familiar with and even has a chance to compete with!
Sato family member...Sato-kun!
You must know that since the Kiri family took action, the Sato family has plummeted. From a famous first-class family in Dongying, it has now become an ordinary rich family in a run-down town. Can they return to a real big city, and can they leave that area and start a new life? Entering Kyoto Palace, it is all unknown.
Fortunately, what is slightly better than the Hirano family is that the Sato family still retains a copy of their recipes. However, those members of the Hirano family were basically eradicated by Kirisenzaemon. If they really want to learn those recipes, I am afraid it will not be so easy. It's easy.
And Sato-kun, who slipped through the net of the Sato family and quietly went to Nishimei, has become the target of Totsuki's pursuit.
It was only recently that some rumors gradually spread that the rebellious Qie family in West America accepted Mr. Sato as a disciple. Soon, this bereaved dog also gained quite a reputation in West America, and his past shortcomings were quickly exposed. He made up for it and even gained the ability to participate in the special assessment.
However, although Mr. Sato can make Zhao Youqian take another look, it is not enough to make him pay attention. What he really cares about is another guy.
A guy who looks ordinary, like a simple and honest middle-aged man.
From the chef of Imperial Capital’s most famous official cuisine, ‘Tan’s Cuisine’, Tan Fangti!
Even though he seems to be quite old, he has already passed the time when his cooking skills exploded. However, for the Tan family who attaches great importance to basic skills to an abnormal level, he is not only not old, but also too young.
In the Tan family's official cuisine, the chefs become more and more charming as they get older. There was once a senior in history who had to wait until he was seventy years old to join the Dragon Chef. As a result, he became the king of gourmet food at the age of eighty-five. That's what makes people grow up. Shocking.
Therefore, most people who come out of Tanjiacai do not look at their age, but when they can take the special examination, because the descendants of Tanjiacai who are generally talented take the assessment at a very young age. Once they pass, Thirty is the deadline, and the closer you get to it, the more evil you become.
And this Tan Fangti is just thirty-four years old this year. Even if he is the descendant of Tan Family Cuisine several times, plus the presence of those monsters, he can still be ranked among the top five people.
When Zhao Youqian left Yaozhou, the reputation of this new generation leader of Tanjiacai had already reached his ears. It must be admitted that despite his physical limitations, he still continued to hone his basic skills, and Tanjiacai also Those deeds are in it.
Now that he was about to directly face a successor of Tan Family Cuisine, it was hard for Zhao Youqian not to be excited and dignified.
I was excited because I was meeting a descendant of the Tan family cuisine, which is the representative of official cuisine. I was solemn because I was almost certain that this person came here for Zhao Youqian.
Whether it is to test Zhao Youqian's current cooking skills or to make him fail in this assessment, this Tan Fangti's intention is definitely not good!
Because the place where he comes from is the Imperial Capital in Yaozhou!
It is also the sphere of influence controlled by the food king Meng Xinghe. Although Tanjia Cuisine is quite neutral in name, many people have joined Fengyun Pavilion established by the food king!
Tan Fangti will participate in this special assessment, and it is only a joke if he does not target Zhao You!
This is also the reason for Zhao Youqian's real surprise.
"At the food fair, there are people from Yaozhou who are participating in this special assessment?"
"It seems that there is something inside this assessment that we don't know yet!"
I won’t belittle myself, but I won’t think too highly of myself either.
Zhao Youqian's mind is very clear. In order to test himself or hinder his special examination, there is no need to make such a big move. He sent several young guys with limited prospects and powerful helpers to track and block him during the examination. , or even rob him of his ingredients.
Sato-kun and Tan Fangti are both rising stars on both sides. They have unlimited potential and cannot be wasted on this kind of dispute.
It would only be if something important happened during this special examination that there would be such a big commotion.
"My husband Yu has sent people to investigate this matter, and Minister Jiucou Luyuan has also used his internal connections at IGO, but no specific news has been released yet."
Isayama Huangquan looked at Zhao Youqian unexpectedly, not expecting that he would realize the key point so quickly.
"But it's obvious that passing this assessment will bring unexpected benefits!"
Only Mimi looked at the information and felt a little dizzy listening to the conversation between Zhao Youqian and Isayama Yomi. She couldn't figure out how she could come to the conclusion that this special examination was not simple just by looking at these things.
"Isn't it necessary for him to pass the assessment anyway? Why do you think so much? Once you get the question, just do it with all your strength and that's it!"
Waving her little fist, Mimi seemed quite optimistic.
Zhao Youqian only glanced at the information a few times and stopped looking at it.
After all, the only things that can be collected are exposed things, and reference is of little significance. The key is to wait until the actual fight to know the depth of the other party.
However, the special assessment is never a head-to-head confrontation between participants, but depends on the completion of the ingredients and dishes.
I'm afraid that if we really want to have a head-on confrontation, we have to wait until the last step, where everyone has captured the ingredients, started to complete the cooking, and attacked and defended the taste of the cooking in order.
But when that time comes, Zhao Youqian is not afraid of anyone. He is always confident in his cooking!
"However, I'm afraid we really have to be careful of pressure and backstabbing from both sides!"
Zhao Youqian sighed and looked at the people participating in the assessment again, and then motioned to Isayama Yomi to turn off the screen.
"I'm afraid they don't mind stumbling upon us while passing the exam. The road ahead will be quite difficult!"
...
"Mr. Sato, don't forget the president's request. Passing the special examination is the first priority!"
After checking the tools in his hand, a strong man with blond hair looked at Sato-kun who was playing with a dagger not far away and reminded him again.
A large part of the purpose of his visit this time was to remind this seemingly calm young chef not to act out of emotion.
Sato-kun, who had been playing around with the dagger, raised his head. Three scars had been added to his originally handsome face, but it did not destroy his handsomeness, but instead added a cold and evil look.
"Don't worry, I will only visit that old friend after completing the planned plan..."
The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, but no one seemed to think he was smiling...
