Dinner is over.

On the tray covered with plantain leaves, there was a mess, except for a few lemon slices and pepper decorations.

Not far from the mansion, on the reef at night.

The waves kept crashing against the rocks, and the water droplets splashed a few times from time to time, falling on Xia Yu's hair and shoulders.

"It turned out to be its appearance, and it was also 'life'!"

A voice broke the silence.

The leader of the gourmet party, who had spoken for the first time, had obviously figured out a lot of things, and looked up at the young man beside him and stared at him, "No wonder the chief authority of our research institute said that life begins with 'it' and ends with God. ”

Xia Yu said calmly: "With my current understanding, it is more like a kind of fodder, and God is a formed life form, and it represents a vigorous and long-lasting vitality. ”

Lance understood, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise.

It's like the newborn and the elderly.

There is no doubt that the 'god' plays the role of an elder in the ingredient branch of life.

As for the 'it' whose life form looks like an octopus, the ingredients that are called 'center' by the system are like newborn elves, and words such as enthusiastic, active, and young can be used as labels.

Even, with proper cooking, diners enjoy the 'center' and, in a sense, get a new lease of life.

Lance felt like he had suddenly returned to his teenage years.

The blood and body, which were getting colder, were filled with an inextinguishable stream of heat after tasting the food this time.

That's vitality.

The cells around the body are overflowing with something called energy.

Suddenly, Lance thought of something, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes, he looked at Xia Yu and asked, "...... Why didn't you eat your own food?"

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, and told the truth: "It's just barely passing." ”

“？”

Lance was stunned, "So, do you disdain to enjoy such a classic food?"

Xia Yu nodded and shook again.

The atmosphere of the conversation froze.

"Forget it!"

Although the wave was very generous, the coldness in the eyes of the leader of the food club not only did not disappear, but spread to a pair of eyes.

His eyes grew cold.

Near the reef, the night wind, which was close to the scorching summer, suddenly became a bitter winter.

Xia Yu seemed indifferent and met Lance's eyes.

"You're more powerful than I thought. Lance dragged out his tone and lowered his voice, "I thought that my estimate of you was already a great respect and respect for a young dragon chef of your age, but to be honest, your performance tonight far exceeded expectations. I'm starting to worry a little about whether the future food club will be able to deal with a young and powerful enemy like you. ”

"At least, we're not enemies at the moment, are we?" Xia Yu chuckled.

Lance was dumbfounded.

After a while, he suddenly smiled, and the cold light disappeared from his eyes, "Yes, we are not enemies. ”

Stared deeply at Xia Yu.

The leader of the food club looked solemn.

"In my hands, the purpose of the Gastronomy Club is not to invade the world. Our chefs just want to grasp this trend and occupy a position in the future food industry and have a stable survival space. ”

Xia Yu was slightly surprised, "Mr. Narans, your vision must be close to being realized." ”

Lance nodded, but clenched his fists sharply.

"But ......"

"I have a big ambition to explore the wider and vastness of the gastronomic world. After a pause, Lance's smile was bright, just like a young man in a ravine, looking at the outside world, his distant and fascinating eyes made Xia Yu suddenly change his impression of the leader of the food club.

Although he is already a high king, the pace of asking has never stopped!

Xia Yu read Lance's hot heart.

The coast fell silent again.

After a while, Lance said leisurely: "The greedy wolf pot is actually at the IGO headquarters in Denmark. Don't you have a deep friendship with IGOs, so why don't you go directly to their headquarters and ask for it? ”

"Spirit Vault, this kitchenware is more troublesome. ”

"It is held by a heavenly king. That guy isn't a generous elder, you could go to Greece and try to find him, but I'm here to warn you—"

"Don't get into conflict!"

Tilted his head to Xia Yu with a look of hidden meaning, "Although you are very good now, before you create a personal dragon-level nirvana recipe, your victory rate against the role of the Heavenly King ...... It's zero!"

Xia Yu's expression was shocked.

There was a trace of surprise in my heart, the 'Spirit Treasure Vault' was actually in a food king?

'Collect the Eight Legends' The big event of the kitchenware, the big task, what to do!

Is progress coming to a standstill?

……

The other side.

The review and comment session of the dinner has also come to an end.

"Ah, my pizza is completely cold. ”

Maki Morita lowered her head.

The pizza becomes cold and hard, and the quality of the dish will definitely be lost with the cold. If nothing else, she's on the verge of finishing at the bottom of the rankings this night.

However.

The focus of the giants' work is not her.

The judges are still arguing over the scores for the dishes of Lei Aoxue and Erina Nagikiri, and the differences seem to be unified.

"Lei Aoxue's stewed red snapper is not only a great skill, but her control of the spicy taste of ink food has reached the level of extreme taste, plus another key to the extreme freshness of the red snapper itself...... With the judging criteria of premium dishes, the ultimate duet, if you don't give full marks, it will be unconvincing!"

"Hmph, what about the Extreme Duet?"

"Yes, yes, Erina's 'pozole' is also the essence of ink food, although her kaleidoscope is not as perfect and mellow as her Lecturer Xia, but this key has been formed, and it is enough to rival the ultimate taste......"

The two camps that are divided want to give a full score to the dishes and chefs who are optimistic.

The more Maki Morita listened, the more gloomy her heart became.

With the sound of mosquitoes that she could hear, she said to herself: "I lost, I lost so badly." I thought that in the past year, my cooking skills have gradually caught up with Erina, and I am qualified to stand in the same position as her, but who knows, I still can't compare...... Hmm, it's a shame, obviously the guidance I got from Ah Yu is no less than Erina...... So it's still a matter of talent?"

The girl was very unconvinced and unwilling.

It's like losing completely in cooking, and the god-like shadow in her heart will gradually drift away and leave her.

This is what makes Morita Maki panic the most.

"Hey!"

The palm stretched out from behind patted the girl's shoulder, and saw that she was still hanging her head and muttering, and the expression on her side face was simply lost. Xia Yu couldn't help but bend his fingers, and snapped the girl's white forehead, "What are you thinking about here?" ”

Morita Maki covered his forehead, raised his head, and his eyes were confused and unyielding, gradually focusing on the young man in front of him, "Ah, Ah Yu, you ......"

The expression was shy and apprehensive.

The unstoppable thought came out in her heart, and the girl finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Ah Yu, you didn't hear it all just now, did you?" Actually, I seem to have the attribute of narrow-mindedness, so bad. ”

That uneasy expression fell in Xia Yu's eyes, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Maki, if you are narrow-minded, then in my opinion, there is no female with a big belly in the world. ”

"Really?"

"Who doesn't have a good fight?" Xia Yu raised her finger, the girl whispered, covered her forehead, and looked at him pitifully with big eyes, "Can you stop playing?" ”

Who knew that Xia Yu just pushed her little head melon with her fingers. Maki Morita was still a little blindfolded, and his neck shrank back slightly.

Withdrawing his hand, Xia Yu suddenly said, "I'm a little hungry, tonight's live cooking is actually quite physically draining." ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Xia Yu drop a sentence, he grabbed a piece of pizza that had been cooled with his hand and ate it in a big gulp, Morita Maki was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "At least take it and heat it up, if you eat it like this, it must taste bad." ”

She didn't want to hear the boy's unpalatable comments.

"Don't. ”

Xia Yu was unmoved, ate one piece, and then ate the second piece, as he chewed, the taste piled up in his mouth, and he was slightly frightened.

"A very high level of special pastry chef! That kind of personal pizza sauce, although mixed with a lot of chili peppers, but condensed by Maki's kitchen, spicy but soft, almost formed a contradictory extreme key, heart-shaped!"

The girl was inexplicably surprised by his suddenly brightened eyes.

Sweet.

It turns out that when you eat the spicy flavor of ink pizza, you can also taste the unique 'sweetness', which is really sweet.

Sweetness across ingredients and the form of dishes!

Xia Yu laughed in his heart: "This is not a bad thing, a characteristic mark, condensed to the very end, maybe you will cross the Lin Kitchen and touch the shadow of the food spirit." ”

Although the boy did not open his mouth to express his praise directly, his smile showed that he was satisfied.

Even a little bit of a surprise.

Seeing this, Morita Maki couldn't help but look like a victorious female general, and suddenly raised her white neck, very proud. Her playful eyes glanced over to the other two kitchen counters, and she received two complicated and uncomfortable glances.

A smile on the corner of the girl's mouth became sweet, "I don't seem to have lost!"
