Approaching the end of October, this time means that the 43rd "Autumn Audition" has ended and a month has passed, and during this time, except for Erina Nagikiri, who went to Sapporo with the group to participate in the legendary kitchenware competition, the rest of the first-year students have participated in new projects-

"On-site training".

Perhaps it is the will of the world that is influencing the growth of Kohei Soma, the second stop of the field training of the original halberd pig's feet is still the Shino'S branch opened by Kojiro Shinomiya in Tokyo, but the location of this branch has changed, and it is impressively opened in the Xia Shopping Street, which has been officially opened after the renovation has been completed, and Kojiro Shinomiya rented a storefront on the street to complete the renovation at a lower rent.

Today is the final day of the soft opening of the SHINO'S branch.

"Hmm-"

Yawning, Kohei Soma cleaned the inside and outside of the store, but there were no customers, and the entire restaurant was empty, and his own yawning echoed clearly.

"Mr. Abel!"

Seeing a man coming out of the back kitchen, wearing a chef's uniform, Kohei Soma raised his hand to say hello.

Abel paused slightly and pointed to the open door of the restaurant, "Kohei, close the door, it's not open today." ”

"Huh?"

Kohei Sou really doesn't know why.

"Today is the first of the semi-finals of the Sapporo tournament!" Abel laughed, "That's why there are no customers today, so you can check out the other restaurants in the shopping street." ”

"Final Four Elimination?!" Kohei Sojin shook violently, patted his head and finally reacted, and hurriedly closed the glass door of the restaurant, and at the same time he did not forget to take a glance at Xia's main store and Xia's branch in the depths of the block, and saw that the two restaurants were also closed, and not only Xia's restaurant, Morita Noodle House and several restaurants that were opening one after another were closed.

Kohei Chuangzhen, who realized it later, was very annoyed, how could he forget such a high-profile event!

I blamed myself for thinking about the recipe improvement plan, and I stayed up all night and fell asleep near the morning!

Whew......

After closing the door, he chased after Abel's ass and went to the second floor of the restaurant.

On the second floor is a special high-end dining area, with a TV at the bar, Kohei Soma came up, only to find that not only Shinomiya Kojiro, but also other familiar faces of Tozuki graduates, Seki Shouhei, Mizuhara Fuyumi, Hinata Dry, Donato Obuta and others, sat in front of the bar and whispered and laughed.

Hearing the sound, a few people glanced over.

"Oh, Kohei, you're here—" Sycamore greeted him.

Kohei Sojin found an empty chair and sat down, panting slightly, "You haven't started yet, have you?"

"10 o'clock on time, 10 ......minutes to go"

The TV screen is the official news room set up by the event, with a well-known male host in the center, and two professional chefs on the left and right sides of each who are invited to participate in the commentary and prediction of the event.

Of course, these four professional chefs are all familiar faces, Kohei Sojin swept over and said dumbfounded: "What does this mean?!"

On the right hand side of the male host, it is Xia Yu's opponents in the top 16 and top 8: Bernard and Tang Yuqiong.

This is Xia Yu's loser lineup.

On the left-hand side, there is Maas's loser lineup:

A Norse man with big pigtails.

A middle-aged woman from Egypt wearing a traditional white gauze dress and a silk headscarf.

These two losers' review teams, with a clear age hierarchy, are just like the first leg of the semi-finals in Zone A, a duel between teenagers and middle-aged.

There is no doubt that the comments are to fan the flames before the game and increase the effect of the show.

I saw the male host ask with a smile:

"Chef Bernard, we know that you are a special member of the Académie de France team, and lost to Xia Yu in the 16-8 knockout round, and now the Yuanyue team will face the Orlando team in the semi-finals...... Do you think Xia Yu can still maintain his winning streak and win the first victory for the Yuanyue team?"

The last half of the sentence is the point.

Bernard, who was named, had a calm face, and anyone who was scarred would be unhappy, he didn't show it, and said lightly: "I think he will still maintain his winning streak." ”

"Oh?"

The male host raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes, "Then do you know that his opponent Mas is the vice president of Orlando College? ”

"I know. Unfazed, Bernard insisted on his point of view, "No matter who the opponent is, I think he will win!"

At this moment, a group of Yuanyue graduates who were watching TV laughed.

"Lecturer Xia is still amazing, and the defeated opponents in the past have all been impressed by the light he emitted!"

Hinata clenched the starry eyes with both hands.

Kohei Soma scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

On TV, even Tang Yuqiong looked at Bernard in surprise.

"Ahem!"

The male host smiled, looked at Tang Yuqiong, and asked, "So, Chef Tang Yuqiong, what is your opinion?"

"I don't have much to say. Tang Yuqiong looked at the camera and said deeply, "Everyone knows that the 'Tang Reincarnation Spring Rolls' dish I took out in the 8-in-4 elimination round, right? Don't forget that he can copy and improve the recipe on the spot, and if you look down on him, you will definitely lose badly!"

After being reminded, the male host's smile stiffened slightly.

I'm afraid that many viewers suddenly remembered Xia Yu's first stunning debut.

"So, Chef Andrew, Chef Conise, what do you think?" the host looked at the Maas losers on the left-hand side.

The Nordic man, who had Danish royal blood in his braids, said with a straight face: "It's impossible for Maas to lose." ”

The beautiful Egyptian chef in a white gauze skirt and a silk headscarf also nodded:

"I don't deny that Xia Yu is talented, but he is so young that he probably hasn't faced off against some chefs with special skills. Masta......"

The Egyptian female chef paused, as if he was worried about Maas's identity, and it was difficult to say that Mas was a 'dark chef', but hinted with deep meaning: "Once he is serious, there is no possibility of losing." ”

"And I want him to get serious. The female chef sighed, "I hope Xia Yu can force out his forbidden dishes!"

The two losers have their own opinions.

"Forbidden dishes?"

Kohei muttered.

"For taboo dishes, the main ingredient is...... Forbidden ingredients!"

Kojiro Shinomiya, who has passed the special assessment, withdrew his gaze from the TV and said solemnly: "The so-called taboo ingredients are ingredients that are prohibited from being used in restaurants, hotels and other places for the public, of course, this is just an explanation, most halberds and competitions will have clear regulations that prohibit the unauthorized use of taboo ingredients, but this international competition is different, there are not many rules and regulations." ”

"What do you think of the first round of the showdown, senior of the four palaces?"

"Huh!"

Kojiro Shinomiya shook his head, "Actually, I'm biased towards Ma Sisheng, and Lecturer Xia is defeated." ”

Kohei Chuangzhen was silent, and the other graduates were also speechless.

"If Maasir comes up with a forbidden dish, can you defeat it?"

At the same time, in the rest hall of the backstage of the arena, Zhu Qing, Dojima Gin, and Ichiro Caiba surrounded the young chef who was about to appear.

Xia Yu just put down his phone.

The staff informed him that the various ingredients he brought had passed the warehouse inspection, and he could call them at any time after the topic was determined on stage.

"That's better, the confrontation of forbidden dishes!"

Xia Yu stretched his waist and stood up, picked up the kitchenware box placed next to the single sofa, and left Yuanyue and everyone a relaxed and free back.

"This kid!"

Zhu Qing wrinkled her nose and bared her teeth, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, you look old-fashioned and confident, if you lose, get off the stage and see if I'm not fat and beat you......"

"Miss Zhu, you better pray that he didn't lose. ”

Dojima smiled heartily, "No. 1 vs. No. 1, No. 2 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 3...... In such a matchup arrangement, the outcome of each position is crucial. If he loses, our team's win rate will fall again and again!"

"I don't carry this pot. Zhu Qing yawned and said, "It was he who insisted that he take the lead." ”

A group of people was speechless.

……

Da-da-da-da.

Footsteps echoed through the silent passages.

Xia Yu's footsteps suddenly paused.

"You're here. ”

Maas waited at the exit of the passage early, and the giant also carried a box in his hand, slowly turned around, and carefully studied Xia Yu's face at the passage light, feeling familiar, "Speaking of which, I haven't been to your Xia's restaurant to order food for several months. ”

"Mr. Maas, you are a big customer, Xia's Restaurant is always welcome!" Xia Yu chuckled.

"Well, Mr. Maas, let's talk about something......"

Xia Yu blinked and said tentatively, "Can I throw a dart to choose the topic later?"

Hearing this, Maas was stunned for a while before he said with a deep gaze: "Chef Xia, I'm sorry, I don't think you are an easy opponent to defeat, so I have to be cautious and careful in every link." ”

"I'll leave the topic to Chiyo-sama to choose!"

After that, this big customer, who had made Xia Yu look up and had to be treated carefully, stepped out of the passage and stepped onto the stage.

"Whew-"

Seeing Ma Si come to power, Xia Yu was helpless and exhaled, but there was not much regret on his face.

In fact, let him throw darts to choose the topic, with his [Super Vision] and [Dialysis Eye], and the fast bonus of the eye disease hand of the national art, it is not too simple to hit the topic that he is satisfied with with one hit.

But obviously others are not stupid, and after so many days of competition, the contestants have handed over the topic selection process to Chiyo Aichi, which is enough to know that everyone is on guard.

"But...... Victory, still mine!"

Raising his head slightly, letting the familiar venue lights hit his face, Xia Yu carried the kitchenware box, and only felt a blood like the halberd with Tamagawa Ayaka, surging from his heart to his body.

Knock! Knock!

I don't know if it's an illusion, when I stepped on the stage, it seemed to be responding to the master, and a few 'Seven Star Knives' in the box, and even the 'Soul Suppression Stick' were vibrating slightly, and there were excited shouts.

"Welcome Xia Yu—"

As soon as he stood at the cooking table, Chiyo Aichi chanted, and the super-large arena where tens of thousands of people were seated erupted in a long-lasting scream.

Familiar stage environment!

His gaze swept over Maas on the other side, and then, there were familiar faces in the guest seat, Xia Yu's eyes paused on a middle-aged man in the black department: "You wait for me-"

"I'm waiting for your challenge!"

The two of them had similar cold gazes, colliding in the air.
