Food Wars: Live Broadcast in the Prison of Food

Chapter 89 The Wandering Cook
"My dad is a Totsuki OB and a graduate of the Polaris Dormitory. He was once the runner-up among the top ten."

At the desk in Polaris Dormitory, Soma Yukihira made Commander Ikari's classic hand gesture, crossed his palms in front of his nose, and repeated the message that Grandma Fumihiro had just said with an expressionless face.

"And there is the surname Caibo."

"It's a bit exhausting to take in so much information all at once."

"Yukihira-kun is rarely shaken. It's rare."

Yoshino Yuuki looked very surprised.

"But I didn't expect Yukihira-kun's father to be such a remarkable person."

"It's an honor to meet you, Chef Saiba." Isshiki Hui came forward and greeted him, but the way he greeted him while wearing a nude apron looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

"About this, my last name is not Saiba now, but Yukihira," Yukihira Joichiro corrected.

He looked calm and as if he was not surprised by Isshiki Hui's outfit.

Seeing this, everyone in Polaris Dormitory couldn't help but admire Yukihira Joichiro's psychological quality.

"Do you know Saiba-senpai, Isshiki-senpai?" Marui Zenji asked curiously.

Given the strictness of Yuanyue Academy, every year there are more than 1000 chefs who pass the strict examination and enter the first year of high school, but only one in a hundred can successfully survive to the third year, and in the end only a dozen or so can successfully graduate.

Students who can survive and graduate from this rigorous elite selection system will enjoy the honor of being popular stars in the culinary world throughout their lives.

Not to mention if you can become one of the top ten, basically every top ten in history can make a lot of fame in the culinary world.

For him, who likes to study culinary literature and follow the news in the culinary world, he can name all the top ten culinary masters from the distant past, the culinary areas they specialize in, where they are, what fame they have and their achievements.

Although Soma Kodaira's father was once the second in command of Totsuki, his name has never been heard of.

This made him feel a little strange.

"It's not surprising that you don't know, Marui-kun. I only got the information about Mr. Seiichiro from some document I read during my work as a member of the Ten Elites."

"A wandering chef who worked at famous restaurants around the world, but one day, he suddenly disappeared from the front line of the culinary world."

"He is a legendary figure known only to insiders."

"I didn't expect my dad to be such a famous person. No wonder I often received phone calls in a language I couldn't understand when I was a kid."

Soma Yukihira was deeply shocked by this fact. All along, his understanding of his father was limited to Yukihira's restaurant. He didn't expect that there was such a side of his father that he didn't know about. Even the last name Saiba was the first time he heard of it.

This feeling is as weird as suddenly being told that the unknown girl sitting behind you in class who wears glasses is actually a magical girl.

"Speaking of which, Dad, why did you come here all of a sudden? Didn't you say before that you were going to travel overseas for a while?"

"Hahaha, about this, I came here at the request of Mr. Nakiri."

“It’s related to this aspect.”

Yukihira Joichiro patted the box containing the giant millipede.

You mean ingredients from another world?
There is also the request from General Nakiri. I'm afraid he was referring to the commission from Mr. Gu Yue.

Yukihira Soshin had some vague guesses in his mind.

"I didn't expect you to have the chance to enter the live studio a second time. What a pity. I missed it because I had to catch a flight."

Yukihira Joichiro stroked the box and said with some regret.

"It's okay, Dad. I can only afford it with the money you gave me. I was wondering where you got so much money before. You can use these ingredients anytime you want."

"This is the giant millipede from the live broadcast. Let's use it to have a long-awaited cooking showdown."

Yukihira Soma grinned, his interest aroused. "What an attractive proposal. But it's more important to get down to business first. There are only 5 or 6 days left before the start of the assessment."

"Soma, why don't you let me see how perfect the dish you were asked to cook is."

“That’s exactly what happened.”

Yukihira Soma understood.

"It was Mr. Nakiri who asked me to help."

"But I am a laissez-faire person. I don't intend to interfere with your own choice. Whether the final product can be recognized depends on your own efforts."

Yukihira Joichiro said.

"Commissioned cooking? Is that why Yukihira-kun has been tinkering with spicy dishes in the kitchen these days?"

Everyone had a vague understanding of this commission.

After all, Soma Yukihira has been in the kitchen all day these days researching spicy dishes. Whenever he approaches the kitchen, he can smell a spicy smell. It's impossible not to know it.

However, they did not know the specific remuneration, as well as the participation of Dojima Ginwa, the first seat, and Nakiri Erina.

Otherwise, my jaw would drop.

However, the fact that someone would entrust the devil-horned crocodile to cook for Soma Yukihira instead of entrusting those famous chefs was enough to puzzle them.

Sufficient portions were also given, which made them extremely shocked that there were such rich people.

Moreover, Daigo Aoki and others learned that before today's live broadcast, Soma Yukihira actually started using the Keira crocodile he had purchased before to try cooking.

He even asked why Yoshino Yuuki and Tanomo Megumi, who were tasting the food, didn't wake them up earlier, and his face turned red with envy.

"I have no idea about this yet." After hearing what his father said, Soma Yukihira scratched his head.

"How could that be, Soma-kun? The food you made today was delicious!" Tadokoro Megumi retorted.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yukihira, it's not good to be too modest." Yoshino Yuuki also echoed.

"No, that level alone is completely incapable of controlling the flavor of the Devil Horned Crocodile."

Soma Yukihira shook his head and denied it.

"Hahaha, this is not surprising. It is indeed an ingredient that is quite difficult to control."

"But if the flavor is used well, it can be quite impactful."

Yukihira Joichiro smiled.

"Hey, what do you mean? Dad, have you ever tried cooking the devil horned crocodile?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"

"During my last live broadcast, I also bought a few kilograms of meat and had some ideas. Unfortunately, there was too little meat and it was all gone just as I started to perfect the ingredients."

"You found a suitable cooking method for meat using only a few kilograms of meat!" Soma Yukihira's eyes widened.

No one knew better than him how powerful the taste of the devil-horned crocodile's ingredients was.

"Soma, if that's the case, why don't you give me some ingredients and I'll cook a dish for you to try."

Yukihira Joichiro took out a black rubber band and tied up his loose hair.

"It's up to you to decide what you can learn from this dish."

It's too late. There is only one update today. I miss the full attendance.
