Half past ten in the evening. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the courtyard of the temple, the shadows of the trees and the lanterns lit up one by one, illuminating the front and back of the house, no one could have imagined that there was a wonderful gathering here.

When Natsu Yu, Shinji Takei, and Ichiro Hasei returned to Chiyo Shrine, they all got a gift box from Chiyo Shrine Maiden herself.

"You're all qualified. ”

When the Chiyo shrine maiden said this, she glanced at Xia Yu, the youngest among them, and turned to leave.

"Qualified!"

Xia Yu was exhausted, and sat on the stone bench, and his whole body was about to go limp.

Dojima Silver has already sent Megumi Tadoko and Maki Morita back to the hotel, and they will be sent back to the campus in Tokyo early tomorrow morning. Today's celebration at Chiyo Shrine has also made several young chefs with extraordinary talent realize that there is a wider world of food beyond the far moon.

"Congratulations!"

"Tongxi!"

Shinji Takei and Ichiro Hasei congratulated each other, and then, the two of them walked up to Natsu Yu and extended their hands in a friendly manner.

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment and shook hands with the two of them.

This is a kind of etiquette for treating each other as equals, and the meaning is self-explanatory.

"If Chef Xia is free, you can come and sit at my 'Long Valley Wine Workshop'. Ichiro Hasei smiled, his words and deeds were just like his temperament, like a hermit, very light.

But Shinji Takei is different, this is a successful businessman with a lot of courage, controlling a huge food group, looking at Xia Yu, he did not hide the appreciation and burning in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Chef Xia, are you interested in coming to our Takei Society?" I can give you the position of sous chef, the salary will be as you say, and you will get a certain amount of shares in Takei Society......"

'Takei Society' is not a small fish or shrimp in the neon food world, and now that Shinji Takei has passed the Chiyo assessment, he can return to Tokyo and officially apply to the IGO agency for the special assessment.

When Shinji Takei becomes a special chef, the 'Takei Society' will truly have the qualifications to impact the 'Imperial Four Families'.

Nowadays, under the 'Imperial Four Families', the 'Takei Society' is the strongest.

But Xia Yu just shook his head.

"Mr. Takei, thank you for your kindness. Xia Yu politely refused, "As for me, I am still a high school student, so it is inconvenient for me to hold an important position in your company, and besides, I still have my own small shop to take care of." ”

"You can contact me at any time!"

"My IGO online ID is ......"

Shinji Takei and Natsu Yu exchange IGO online friends with each other.

"Add me too!"

Ichiro Hasei also came over.

As a result, Xia Yu's IGO friend column has two more certified chef friends.

Beneath their names and avatars, there are nine shining stars.

As for Xia Yu's own, there are only two stars.

"Two-star chef?" Shinji Takei was startled, took his mobile phone, and refreshed it several times, but Xia Yu's profile was still like that, he could only look at Ryoko Lina, who was standing silently next to him, with a suspicious look.

"This, this ......"

I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say.

"Two-star chef?" Hase, Ichiro, couldn't hide his surprise.

Seeing this, Xia Yu hurriedly slipped away, otherwise he would have to explain at length. Anyway, Chiyo Shrine has passed the exam, and no matter what others think, he is now a veritable 'quasi' special chef!

Back to the house on the hill.

As soon as he pushed the door into the house, he caught a glimpse of the cat lying on the window, staring at him with big eyes.

This little thing came with him, and it was actually very well-behaved for a few days, it didn't run around, it didn't cause trouble, and when Xia Yu practiced cooking, it just lay quietly next to him and watched.

Bang!

Placing the gift box on the table, Xia Yu held his chin.

Ryoko Lina followed, Xia Yu looked up at her and asked, "In the box, it should be a clue to a 'fantasy ingredient', right?"

"See for yourself. Ryoko Rina said softly.

Hearing this, he did not hesitate, removed the lock, and lifted the simple lid of the box.

A hand-drawn map.

A dragon-shaped jade Ruyi.

The door of the brain is full of question marks, what is this!

Xia Yu first unfolded the hand-drawn map, which was drawn with a brush, and the handwriting on the paper was just dry.

Islands and hills are what the map wants to depict.

"Hokkaido?"

Suspicious in his heart, Xia Yu clicked on the map and moved to a point marked by a red pen, which was probably in the northeastern region of Hokkaido.

"Asahikawa City, Izumo Shrine ......"

Mutter out the marked Chinese characters.

Vaguely, I feel a little familiar.,Izumo Shrine.,Could it be that shrine?

Ryoko Lina glanced at her and said, "This Izumo is not the other Izumo." ”

"Just rely on such a simple map to find fantasy ingredients?" Xia Yu felt very unreliable.

"If you can locate it accurately, what else do you need a 'food hunter' for?" Ryoko Lina said lightly, "The map is just a guide, you see fantasy ingredients as treasures, this map is a treasure map, and the 'food hunter' is also a bounty hunter in a sense." ”

"Is that ......?"

Xia Yu felt that it was quite tricky.

Just follow the map to search, even if you are lucky, it will take a month to do the least. He was a student and had to take care of a small shop, so it was impossible to stuff a few clothes into his backpack and go out on a long trip.

"You can also delegate. Ryoko Rina said, "I can put you in touch with a reliable mercenary." ”

"Let's take a look. ”

Xia Yu folded the map and picked up the jade Ruyi in the box instead.

Yu Ruyi is about a foot long, and it is quite heavy in hand, Xia Yu grasps it with one hand, and caresses it with the other hand, only feeling that it is touching the silk brocade, delicate and smooth, and a trace of coolness runs down the fingertips, as if from the arm to the whole body.

At the top of the jade handle, there is a flying dragon, lifelike.

Ryoko Rina took the initiative to explain, "This is a blessing given by the shrine to the chef......"

"Is it just a talisman-like item?"

Xia Yu said strangely: "Then why is it Yu Ruyi? Miss Ryoko, what does your talisman look like?"

Hearing this, Ryoko Rina hesitated for a moment, then unbuttoned the top of her shirt, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, and slowly took out a crescent-shaped pendant tied with a thin red rope.

The same is jade.

But the jade Ruyi in Xia Yu's hand was very terrifying.

"Collect it!"

Ryoko Lina said solemnly: "This is also a proof of the identity of the 'quasi' special chef, an identity token, if you meet a real dark chef in the future, you will know the role of this talisman." ”

Xia Yu nodded.

Some things are hard to say.

He knows that there are some filthy things in this world, although some chefs will find it difficult to encounter that kind of thing in their lives, but with the improvement of the chef's level, he may not have to deal with those things often in the future.

When looking at Yu Ruyi, Xia Yu didn't notice that the flower cat had fled to the corner of the room, fried its hair, its small body arched high, and its amber eyes stared at Yu Ruyi vigilantly.

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

Xia Yu sat in Ryoko Lina's sports car, the shrine gift box lay flat on her knees, and the flower cat shrank in the car door, refusing to come near him for anything.

"System, build an analysis task for 'Jade Ruyi'......" he said in his heart.

"The task is created successfully, and the estimated analysis duration is 365 days and 22 hours......

The system responds mechanically. (To be continued.) )
