Chapter 444: Food War Duel with Vegetables as Main Ingredients!

The food war duel between Totsuki "special student" and Totsuki Ten Master graduates could be said to be full of gimmicks, and the bet was the information of "legendary kitchenware," which made the Totsuki students present open their eyes.

And as more and more people gathered, Gin Tangdao felt that such a chaotic situation might affect the performance of Shengzai and Shinomiya.

And regardless of who won or lost this food war, Gin Tangdao didn't want the result to be spread out.

So soon, the boss of Totsuki Resort waved his hand, and a high-end kitchen was vacated to serve as the food war venue for Shengzai and Shinomiya.

As for the other idlers who wanted to watch the show, they were all driven out by Gin Tangdao.

Those who could stay on the scene at present were only Gin Tangdao himself, as well as Fumi Mizuhara, Hinako Gan, and Donato Gotoda, who were Totsuki graduates.

As for Shengzai's side, there were Chuangzhen Xingping and Megumi Tadokoro, because they were on the scene from the beginning, so they were specially allowed to stay.

As for Ryoko and others who learned the news later and intended to come over to cheer for Shengzai, they were even blocked outside the door.

Upon learning that Shengzai was going to have a food war with Kojiro Shinomiya, and the bet was the information and clues of "legendary kitchenware," the most surprised person was Erina.

She also didn't expect that Shengzai hadn't clashed with her yet, and as a result, he had already clashed with the former Ten Master first seat.

Erina was confident and proud, and also believed that as long as she was given enough time, it was only a matter of time before she surpassed Kojiro Shinomiya, the former Ten Master first seat, or even Gin Tangdao, the record holder for the highest score.

But at the current stage, let alone Kojiro Shinomiya, she didn't have much confidence even against the current Totsuki Ten Master first seat, Eishi Tsukasa.

And as a presence good at French cuisine, Eishi Tsukasa was quite worshipful and admiring of Kojiro Shinomiya.

Simply put, the gap between her Erina and Kojiro Shinomiya at present was at least separated by one or two Eishi Tsukasa.

But that guy Shengzai was now bold enough to directly challenge Kojiro Shinomiya, who was more than ten generations older than them!

Upon hearing this news, Erina was undoubtedly shocked, and quickly rushed to the food war scene, intending to stop this food war that was like a joke.

She Erina admitted that Shengzai was a cooking genius like her, but they were still young now and lacked the accumulation of time and experience.

They were students of Totsuki's 92nd generation, while Kojiro Shinomiya and the others were students of the 79th generation; there was a gap of at least 13 years or more.

She and Shengzai were now 16 years old; with almost double the age and experience gap, what would Shengzai take to win this food war?

And if the other party was some unranked small character, it would be fine, but Kojiro Shinomiya was the Ten Master first seat of their generation!

Erina didn't care whether Shengzai would be expelled, or rather, Erina herself had always wanted to kick Shengzai, who looked down on Totsuki, out.

But out of consideration for her own dignity, the person she hoped to kick Shengzai out of Totsuki was her Erina Nakiri, and it was by defeating the other party through a food war in this way.

If Shengzai was defeated by Kojiro Shinomiya this time, wouldn't she Erina Nakiri have no chance to have a food war with Shengzai later?

However, it was a pity that Erina's status as the granddaughter of the Totsuki Director and the Totsuki Ten Master was completely useless at the resort now.

If it were an ordinary student, it would be fine, but the person presiding over this food war now was Gin Tangdao, the General Chef of Totsuki Resort, a member of the Totsuki Board of Directors, and the record holder for the highest Totsuki graduation score.

Let alone Erina, even if Totsuki Director Senzaemon Nakiri came, he would have to give Gin Tangdao some face.

Erina's aura and status really couldn't stand up in front of a BOSS like Gin Tangdao.

Regarding Erina's rude request to interrupt the food war, Gin Tangdao unilaterally rejected it, and stated that looking at the face of Erina having the "God's Tongue," she could either stay and act as a judge or leave quickly and not make trouble here.

Ultimately, Erina, who could bend and stretch, chose... to stay obediently and act as one of the judges.

And with an unwilling expression on her face, she didn't forget to glare at Shengzai fiercely to vent the resentment in her heart.

The food war duel between Shengzai and Kojiro Shinomiya had a theme of dishes with vegetables as the main ingredient; after all, Kojiro Shinomiya was known as the "Magician of Vegetable Cuisine" in France.

As for the style of the dish, it was left to the two to play freely; after all, if even the dish was limited to French cuisine, then for Shengzai, it was not a question of unfairness, but truly bullying.

In order to let Shengzai and Kojiro Shinomiya fully perform, Gin Tangdao even prepared all the ingredients of Totsuki Resort for the two.

At the moment, besides a large number of various vegetable ingredients and common ingredients in front of the two, there was also an ingredient list written densely.

Because the venue was limited, Gin Tangdao couldn't get all the ingredients here for Shengzai and the two to choose.

And the reason for sending them this ingredient list was to indicate that the resort had all the ingredients on it, and if they needed anything, they could be sent to the kitchen side in a word.

Shengzai glanced at the ingredient list in his hand and couldn't help but sigh again at Totsuki's wealth.

Because besides some common ingredients, there were quite a few rare ingredients in the list.

Although Shengzai had seen most of the rare ingredients in the Gourmet Association's illustrated book, the level was not high.

But even so, it was amazing enough; you know, for most ordinary chefs, rare ingredients were already quite rare ingredients, and Gin Tangdao being able to get so many now could already be considered his ability.

Since there were rare ingredients, Shengzai and Shinomiya naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to use ordinary ingredients again.

Especially Kojiro Shinomiya, although he was quite confident in his strength and didn't think he would lose to Shengzai, a boy in the first year of high school.

But the bet for this food war was too big; after understanding Gin Tangdao's good intentions, he also planned to show his strength to ensure he wouldn't let Senior Tangdao down.

The rare ingredient Kojiro Shinomiya chose was cabbage grown in the Vegetable Paradise of the Culinary Realm, and Hunger Bird breast meat with a capture level of 3.

Although Hunger Bird was a poultry, its meat texture was quite chewy and rich in pork belly like high-grade Wagyu beef juice.

As for the rare ingredient Shengzai chose, it was the giant cabbage from the Vegetable Paradise, and the Five-Tailed Heron with a capture level of 2.

The Five-Tailed Heron was also a large bird of prey; its meat texture was somewhat dry, but it was unusually delicious, and this kind of bird of prey was also at its most delicious when it grew five tails.
