A few weeks later, Shi Ke and Yukihei went to Totsuki Saryo Culinary Academy together.
"This place... is more grand than imagined..." Yukihira said as he looked at the building, his hands on his hips carelessly.
"Yeah." Shi Ke nodded while holding his hands.
"You actually came here to study too. It's so hard to hide it from me." Xingping said with a fish-eye.
"Your dad already knew, I thought he would mention it to you."
"Hahaha, don't hold out hope for this kind of thing." Xingping's mouth twitched, indicating that you are still too young and that uncle is very bad.
"Let's go in."
"Um."
Shi Ke followed Xingping into the building. Five minutes later, the two came out.
"We still have to take the exam, and the exam venue is actually three kilometers away! What the hell is going on?!" Yukihira roared in the street.
"Let's go. It's just that the school is a bit big. But it's okay. We have a city in China that is equal to one school. That's called leaving." Shi Ke patted Yukihira's shoulder.
"Is your university too big?"
"Yeah. Yes. But everyone wants to get into key universities."
"Oh. Let's go." Xingping took the lead and started walking.
At the same time, in a restaurant a few kilometers away from the school, a blond girl had just finished her work. The restaurant was full of chefs who had their soup bowls poured over them and were saying sorry to her.
Halfway through the journey, Yukihira felt something was getting more and more wrong.
There were people all along the way wailing.
"Ah ah ah! I failed the promotion exam! Ah ah ah..." Student a.
"It's over...my life is completely over..." Student b.
"Please, no matter if it's 10 million or 20 million, I can give it! Please don't let my son drop out of school!!" The bald man hugged a teacher's leg and wailed.
The further Yukihira walked, the more panicked he became, so he took out his cell phone and called his boss.
"Dad, what's going on in this school? There's something wrong with the people on the road."
"Ah? Didn't I tell you? It's Japan's premier cooking school... with a graduation rate of less than 10%... a super elite school!!"
"I thought it was the kind of school where a shaky old master teaches simple cooking, and a bunch of rookies follow him..." Xingping felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh. Just come on, Chuangzhen. In that school...∞%&:∞&%:"
"Ah? Oh...what? Can't you hear me clearly? It's so noisy!! Dad, where are you now?"
"The VIP banquet hall of the Royal Hotel in Manhattan, New York City. I am now cooking."
"!!?" Xingping suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"I first went to China and India, then Mexico and Italy. I just arrived in the United States yesterday. I will be cooking in restaurants on the East Coast for a while now."
"..., Sigh. I feel like I can't keep up with the topic."
"It can be regarded as using a little bit of the previous relationship. Chuangzhen, if you can't survive in that school, then you can't even think about surpassing me."
"I'll just do it for you, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Yukihira yelled at the phone, then hung up.
"What are you doing?" Shi Ke was startled.
"nothing!!"
"Did your dad use provocation?"
"Yeah. Let's go!! I want to complete the first step and get admitted to this school!!" Xingping was full of fighting spirit.
"Oh. Let's go."
"You are too casual! You have a bit of fighting spirit! Fighting spirit."
"If you can't pass the entrance exam, why are you still here? Is it worth getting excited?"
"Oh. You're right."
The two of them walked to the test center, and Yukihira felt a little bit like he was really in the wrong place.
There are luxury cars everywhere, butlers, servants and bodyguards are waiting for their young masters and young ladies respectively. It is a gathering place for the upper class. No, it is just a gathering that cannot be described. This is simply the highest level gathering place.
"Bang!!" Yukihira accidentally kicked the bench where others were sitting.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I accidentally kicked you." Yukihira apologized to the people sitting on the bench.
"Don't worry, you are also a candidate, right? My name is Nikaidou Keiming, and my family runs a French restaurant." The person sitting on the bench introduced him elegantly while drinking coffee.
"Oh. What a coincidence, my family also owns a restaurant." Xingping said familiarly.
"No, maybe it's not a coincidence. Those across the street are the heirs of national chain restaurants. The ones over there are basically fish dealers in charge of the Kanto region... Basically, all the famous disciples in the cooking industry are gathered here. Yours
What’s the name of the store?”
"Yukihira."
"Yukihira? Is this a Japanese-style restaurant?"
"Haha, it's not a big store, it's just a store in a small town..."
"Bang!!" Xingping was kicked to the ground. Shi Ke walked to the side and helped Xingping up.
"Vulgar commoners... don't sit side by side with me!!!" Keiaki Nikaidou's true colors were revealed.
"Listen carefully to me!! This academy is not a place for commoners like you! This is a sacred courtyard. Only those born for high-class cuisine are qualified to study here!! This is the courtyard.
Totsuki Saryo Cooking School!! I’m afraid a commoner like you can’t even pass the written review, right? Ah? Hahahaha!!”
"Those who have never tasted Yukihira's cuisine are not qualified to rate my cuisine!!!" Yukihira grabbed Nikaido Keimei's collar, which made Nikaido almost roll his eyes.
"Let... let go of my young master!!..." The bodyguard rushed up.
"Let go. If you are disqualified from taking the exam, it will be a big loss." Shi Ke let go of Xingping's hand.
"I heard what you said. I was impulsive." Xingping suppressed his anger.
"Nikaido Keimei-san? Are you okay?" Shi Ke gracefully helped Nikaido back to the chair, showing his aristocratic elegance.
"Ahem, cough, cough...I'm not done with you!! Just wait!!" Nikaido was still shouting.
"oops!!"
Shi Ke frowned, made a professional flop, and slapped the handle of the bench. The bench! It tilted up with a click.
Because Nikaido Keimei was sitting on the other side of the bench, he flew very high, directly into the big tree on the roadside, and very successfully... hung on.
"Uh... this is an accident." Shi Ke looked innocent.
"Pfft... Hahahaha!? That's so stupid! Is this okay? What bad luck!" Everyone present was stunned. Then they looked at Nikaidou Keiming's bodyguard who wanted to save people but couldn't do it.
I couldn't stand it anymore, and everyone burst into laughter.
"Go away." Shi Ke pulled Xingping, who was laughing so hard, and rushed straight into the examination room.
"I knew you did it on purpose! Cough cough cough..." Xingping laughed again.
The two entered the examination room, where many people were already waiting.
After a while, the examiner arrived, and she turned out to be a blond girl. She had beautiful blond hair, a perfect figure, and a noble temperament all over her body. There was a beautiful red-haired girl beside her, who seemed to be a secretary.
"I am the examiner of this test! My name is Kirina."
"Girls? Wearing uniforms? Are they students of this school?!" Yukihira thought.
"Where's the notice from the Admissions Department?" Erina asked.
"I'll read it out right away." The little secretary responded quickly.
"First, a group interview will be conducted in units of ten people based on the application form. Then each person will undergo a practical test with about three dishes. Those who pass the first two stages will undergo..."
"Hmph! Boring." Erina hummed willfully and walked towards the console.
"Let me think about it... let's do it. The main ingredient is eggs! Anyone who can make a dish with eggs that satisfies my tongue will be admitted to this academy." Erina picked up an egg and announced calmly.
.
"Also, from now on, I will only agree with those who abstain within one minute." Then, Erina's whole demeanor changed, and her playful tone was completely toying with people.
Then, everyone in the entire examination room began to flee.
Yukihira didn't understand, so he grabbed Nikaidou Keaki who walked behind him and said nothing. "Hey! Why are you running away?"
"Oh? Let me go! I won't cause trouble for you anymore! I swear!"
"Speak clearly!"
"You...don't you know this lady?"
"Who is she? Tell me!" Xingping and Shike said they really didn't know each other.
Of course, Shi Ke is just pretending. As a time traveler, I can tolerate forgetting the plot, but I can’t forget the main characters.
"She is the first person to pass from junior high school to high school!"
"Then what?"
"She is known as the youngest genius in the history of the Yuanyue Ten Elite Council, the highest decision-making body!"
"Then what?"
"She possesses the highest level of divine taste in human beings!! She has been entrusted as a taster for famous restaurants all over Japan since she was a child! The leading chefs in the culinary industry are all her regular customers. Moreover, her orders
The evaluation will be known to the entire industry. If something unpalatable is served in front of her, she will be labeled as incompetent! Then she will no longer be able to survive in the culinary world!!! This is for a chef
It’s like your whole life has been ruined! If you’re looking for death, don’t hold me back!”
Nikaido Keiaki shook off Yukihira's hand and ran away.
In less than a minute, there was basically no one left in the examination room.
