Chapter 257: The First Challenge

Three days later, Liu Mang ushered in his first challenge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Who is Izumi Takizawa of Senwei Ramen?" asked Liu Mang, holding a black post in his hand.

He is the heir to Senmi Ramen Restaurant, and he learned to make ramen from his father at the age of 17, and it has been more than 20 years since then. In the eyes of the Toei people, he is the person who has the best chance of inheriting his father's reputation as the "god of ramen". Jiro Ida said.

"Well, I accept his challenge. Liu Mang clenched his fists.

Liu Mang's character is not a high-profile person, and he doesn't like to be in the limelight, but at this point, he can't retreat, so he can only move forward bravely.

"Jiro-kun, thank you very much for taking care of me during this time, from tomorrow onwards, you don't want to be my translator, I will find another person. Liu Mang's eyes were very complicated when he looked at Jiro Ida.

"Why? Did I do it badly?" said Jiro Ida, surprised.

"No...... You did a great job, you were a very good tour guide and translator, it's just that in my heart, you and my father are good friends of mine. That's why you don't follow me. ”

"Is it because I'm from Toei?" said Jiro Ida, after a moment's thought.

"Well, now that Dongying's public opinion is against me, I'm afraid that some people will take advantage of this opportunity to be detrimental to you and Master Huaishu and affect your reputation. Liu Mang voiced his concerns.

"You're thinking too much, Liu Mangjun. Jiro Ida laughed: "Neither my father nor I are narrow nationalists. In our hearts, cuisine knows no borders and belongs to the whole world. I believe that in Dongying, there are still many people who have the same idea as me, and now the people who abuse you on the Internet are all provoked by some well-intentioned people, and they cannot represent all Dongying people. ”

"But......" Liu Mang hesitated.

Today he walked around the forum and asked Li Ruonan to find someone to help him translate.

It turned out that some netizens in Dongying were not only against Liu Mang, but also a few chefs such as Ida Huaishu and others, and they also hated Liu Mang, and named them traitors and traitors, which made Liu Mang very uncomfortable.

Because in Liu Mang's heart, Ida Huaishu and others are real masters, if he ruins the reputation he has accumulated for half his life, it will make him feel guilty and uneasy.

"It really doesn't matter! Liu Mangjun. Seeing that Liu Mang was still thinking, Jiro Ida continued: "Although during World War II, Dongying was poisoned by militarism and went astray, but now it is a democratic country, and even the prime minister has to be changed every once in a while! In such a country, everyone has the freedom to express their will. Besides, how can a person who does not have firm convictions become a true master?"

"Okay, then trouble Mr. Jiro, please continue to act as my translator. Liu Mang couldn't resist Jiro Ida, so he only nodded and agreed.

……

……

"Hachiro-kun, what's the situation now?" In a conference room where Liu Mang stayed in the hotel, Muraya Fukio, who was in a suit and leather shoes, sat on the chair with the back of the main seat, and he asked Hachiro Yamano on his right.

"Your Excellency, the current situation is the same as we expected, under the guidance of intention, Liu Mang has become a proud and arrogant madman in the hearts of some Dongying people, vainly trying to challenge the Dongying cuisine world with his own strength. ”

"That's good! That's what we want!" said Muraya Fukio, "but it's not enough, in addition to some ordinary people, we also need to arouse the indignation of the Toei chefs, so that we can realize our plan step by step." ”

"Someone has already jumped out. Hachiro Yamano sneered: "Someone came to the hotel today to give Liu Mang a challenge book." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Muraya Fukio's eyes lit up.

"It's the chef of Senmi ramen, Izumi Takizawa. ”

"Isn't it his father, Takizawa Kan?"

"No, Takizawa Kan retired the year before last, and the store has been handed over to his eldest son to take care of. ”

"That's not enough! Takizawa Quan is not Liu Mang's opponent at all, and his father's 'ramen god' is about the same. There was a hint of disappointment on Muraya's face.

"Isn't that right? If Takizawa loses, more chefs will come to challenge. After all, at this time, whoever defeats the Chinese chef god will immediately become famous, which is an irresistible temptation for some chefs who want to become famous quickly. ”

"Well, you have to continue to hype up this matter, the bigger the better!" Muraya nodded: "When the time comes, Mr. Hirakawa, you can make a move." ”

"Haha, Your Excellency the President is really a brilliant idea! That Chinese boy is now like an unripe fruit, and it's not time to pick it yet!" a man in black who was sitting on the left hand side of the village house laughed.

The man had high cheekbones and a gloomy complexion. He wears a black patch on his left eye, a bit like Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean.

"Your Excellency Pingchuan, as long as Liu Mang defeats the various chefs who came to challenge him and makes his reputation reach a peak, then you can take advantage of the situation. ”

This man with an eye patch is Hideo Fukuda's teacher, the 'ghost kitchen' - Hirakawa Ran.

After seeking Liu Mang's puffer fish secret method several times to no avail, Muraya Erxiong, who couldn't withstand the pressure of shareholders, had no choice but to find another way.

The 'spiritual cuisine' of Pingchuan Ran, like Liu Mang's pufferfish, also has the ability to enchant people. And once you taste it a few times, it can be like cigarettes and marijuana, which can make people addictive and can't stop.

But it's a pity that the 'ghost chef' Hirakawa Ran, who has a criminal record in Dongying, has a reputation that is so stinky that it is resisted by people from all walks of life, and the 'spiritual cuisine' he invented is not allowed to be sold publicly in Dongying.

In order to change this situation, and at the same time to get Daya Group out of the quagmire, after thinking hard, Muraya Jio came up with this solution.

Only by waiting for Liu Mang to stir up the emotions of the Dongying cuisine world and ordinary people, and then let Pingchuan defeat him, he will definitely become famous, and Daya Group will be able to smoothly push the 'spiritual cuisine' to the whole country!

"The reason why I agreed to your request is not because of the so-called reputation. Pingchuan knocked on the table with his thin fingers: "It's not a tool in your hand, you have to make this clear." ”

"I understand, I understand!" Muraya Erxiong nodded again and again: "When Liu Mang wins, Lin Modi will definitely be introduced." When the time comes, His Excellency Hirakawa will be able to avenge the revenge of the year. ”

"Hmph! I lost one eye back then, and now I want to win it back on your apprentice! Liu Mang, right? Don't let me down!" Pingchuan Chao's remaining eye was full of resentful light.

"What? Hirakawa's chaotic eyes, did he lose during the gambling fight?" Hachiro Yamano next to him was shocked: "It turns out that he didn't win!"
