Chapter 10: The Theme of the Duel: Ramen
In the restaurant of the Akido clan, the duel between the "newcomer" and the "old man" was actually unfair from the beginning.
The "old men" often have learned a little bit of ninja fur skills, which is an advantage that the "newcomers" simply cannot match.
Ultimately, however, the cuisine speaks in terms of taste, not in terms of the age and skill of the cook.
The "newcomer" who can defeat the "old man" under unfavorable conditions will be the disciple that Qiu Dao wants to take the wind.
"First, let me introduce myself." The big fat man said with a serious expression, "I am not only the manager of this store, but also the chef here, and now I am in charge of presiding over this showdown." ”
Autumn road fire? Does this person have anything to do with the Autumn Road Wind?
Chihuo thought for a moment and felt that he understood something.
Inuzuka hinted that he came here, and it wasn't for nothing.
In fact, compared to other restaurants of the Akido family, this place may not really be the strongest.
After all, no matter how delicious ramen is, it can't become a staple food for all people, even if it's the No. 1 ramen restaurant in Konoha.
There are certainly other types of excellent restaurants in the Akido family, and it is unlikely that the ramen restaurant alone will be the only one.
For example, a sushi restaurant is one of the symbols of Japanese cuisine.
However, Inuzuka still let him come here, apparently just to make fire for Akimichi.
It has something to do with the autumn road to take the wind, and this should be the biggest bargaining chip.
It is believed that under the same conditions, the chef apprentices here will be more valued by the Akido style.
The legendary Otsuki Ichiraku "Tetoshi" and the future culinary ninja leader "Octagon" also came here, and it will not be for nothing.
These two may also be orphans, and they don't have surnames like Chihuo.
They were able to come here, probably like a red fire, and the cuisine attracted the attention of some ninjas, giving them some kind of hint.
It's also an investment.
At least in Chihuo's heart, if you don't talk about feelings with Inuzuka Mao, you only talk about interests......
The other party has not only paid off the favor, but also sold one more favor.
Because this information is so valuable, it does have that value.
Red Fire bets that in the end, most of the chefs will compete among the various Akido clan restaurants to determine the final disciple spot.
Ninjas have always been squad-based, and if they want to become a disciple of Autumn Dao, they must either be three of them together, or all of them will be eliminated.
Those who are eliminated may still be focused on cultivating, but they have lost the only chance to become a disciple of the Autumn Dao.
Therefore, being able to draw the best teammates is the key to victory.
Inuzuka's information is important because of this reason.
I'm afraid, that one already knew what was going on here. Not only is it clear that there is a fire in the autumn road, but maybe even there are two more talented cooks here.
Chihuo still remembers Inuzuka's mysterious expression when revealing the information here. After that, although he didn't say it, most of them were just bad tastes, and they wanted to surprise him.
Now he fully understands that he really owes Inuzuka Mao more now.
While Chihuo was pondering, Akimichi Tsuiho, the manager and chef, had already continued: "The two people who are here today, one is an 'old man' who has been working with us for nearly half a year, and the other is a strong enough 'newcomer', and only one of you will be left as the victor. Before today's official showdown, let's introduce yourselves to each other. ”
I have worked for about half a year, but I have not been eliminated from the competition. It's no wonder that you're qualified to partner with the other two Monster Kids all the time, but it's a pity that this time it should end here.
The young chef said solemnly at this time: "I'm Kenji Sakagami, 10 years old, please advise." ”
10 years old? Seems to be a little old-fashioned. It looks like he's around 15 years old, so it's not his age......
Chihuo muttered in his heart, but still responded: "I'm Chihuo, 5 years old, please advise." ”
This is the duel etiquette of the samurai.
Even if there is a contradiction, this kind of seriousness is needed when dueling and when formally introducing yourself.
It is already the era of ninjas, but some samurai spirits have not been eliminated, but have been inherited by ninjas in the new era.
"This time, I will be the judges with the three of them and the three of them to judge your victory or defeat." Akimichi said with a smile, "Now I'm announcing the theme of this competition, and that is - ramen!" ”
Kenji Sakagami looked delighted, with an expression as if he had already won.
And Chi Yan frowned for a while, because the other party's advantage was indeed great.
"We're a ramen restaurant here, so we've been competing with ramen all along." "In the past, we limited the types of ramen we could try, but today I'm going to open up the net so you can play freely. As long as it's ramen, you can do it either way. ”
Wouldn't that be even less advantageous?
Chihuo finally understood the meaning of Kenji Sakagami's expression.
There are no restrictions on the ramen theme, and the opponent can use the best ramen texture to decide the winner.
If you have studied and worked at a ramen restaurant for about half a year, you will definitely have a winning ramen that belongs to each other.
Chihuo himself, on the other hand, has no such thing at all.
The other party also has the means to cook the fur of the ninja, which is simply an all-round advantage.
Chihuo subconsciously glanced at the Autumn Road Fire, and the one who was smiling mysteriously at him, and he suddenly seemed to understand something.
Autumn Road is deliberate, deliberately making problems for Chihuo, this is a kind of test.
When he came here from Chiho for an interview, he didn't use ramen, but instead used egg fried rice as his dish. Although he passed the test with this, it also exposed the fact that Chihuo was actually not good at ramen.
Otherwise, most smart people will come up with a ramen, which will make it easier to pass the test.
After all, this is a ramen restaurant, so don't make a mistake about it, only dishes that fit the theme will be easier to pass the assessment here.
No matter how good you are at other cuisines, if you don't have talent and potential, you won't be able to be admitted.
This time, what Akido really wants is to formally evaluate the level and potential of Chihuo in the fabric of pulling.
"There is no difference between what you can see and what you can't see, and the food still has to be based on the taste." Chihuo thought to himself.
He also has advantages that others can't imagine, and it's not completely out of the blue.
Moreover, knowing that the target was a ramen restaurant, how could he really be completely unprepared?
In this Japanese-style world, people have only eaten Japanese food.
Chihuo decided to use a Chinese-style ramen dish to conquer the palate.
A completely different taste will definitely bring these people a new taste impact.
What he is going to do is the cooking recipe "Peerless Beauty Noodles" used by Ah Fei in "The Little Master of China" when facing the topic of "The Warrior Has No Faces", which in reality is Dragon Whisker Noodles.
Of course, Chihuo didn't have the original recipe, and he exchanged it for a parody of the dishes in "Little Master of China" on the real world through the system.
Real-world recipes, as long as they aren't secret recipes, aren't too expensive.
In particular, the recipes that have been published on the Internet are even cheaper.
What Chihuo chose to exchange was the latter, which was naturally very cheap.
For the recipe of the same dish, as long as it is a recipe published on the Internet, one food point can be redeemed for all of them.
Of course, these are not the original "Peerless Beauty" recipes after all, and they are naturally very different from the original, and they cannot grasp the real essence of the original cuisine.
However, Chihuo was not out of the question, he exchanged a variety of different ramen recipes and did further research on his own.
What is going on here is only the test and duel of the chef's apprentice, and the results of his own preliminary research are enough to cope with this level.
