Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

A young man who is about the same age as them is going to be a specially appointed professor at Totsuki Academy?

Who doesn't know that specially appointed professors have enormous power similar to that of the Totsuki commander-in-chief?

Even if Li Yang easily defeated Eiyama Ezuya, who was ranked ninth among the Ten Greatest Students of Totsuki, it did not mean that he was qualified to become a distinguished professor of Totsuki!

Doubts suddenly arose.

"No, I admit that the black-hearted owner is very capable and should be a star chef, but making him a special professor at Totsuki is really giving him too much credit, isn't it?"

"Even if Shopkeeper Li Yang defeats the Nine Masters of Ruishan, he can't be made a distinguished professor!"

"I admit that the three-color fire tornado beef meatballs from owner Li Yang are delicious, but isn't it a bit hasty to make him a distinguished professor at Totsuki?"

"Something's wrong! It's totally wrong! Aren't you familiar with the name Li Yang?"

"Of course I'm familiar with it... That's the name of that adult!"

"I suddenly realized that the black-hearted shop owner looks a lot like Lord Li Yang!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

crucial moment.

Shimado Gin stood up.

"Perhaps you don't know who Mr. Li Yang is, so let me take the initiative and introduce him to you."

"Mr. Li Yang should be a well-known superstar in our Neon. Those who don't know him should look for their own problems."

"He is the one who solved the Hokkaido Snow Girl's curse, and he is also the one who is crucial to resolving the crisis in the Neon Forbidden Zone!"

"He's also the youngest Tiger-level chef in the world!"

When Li Yang's identity was revealed, all doubts disappeared in an instant.

There was a sound of inhalation in the conference hall.

Followed by.

The cheers that resounded through the sky were heard!

Chapter 76: The Dark Cuisine World and the Gourmet Club! Unexpected New Guests from Another World!

"Hey, hey, hey, did I hear correctly? The black-hearted shop owner is actually Lord Li Yang?"

"Are you...kidding me? How could he be Lord Li Yang?"

"Ahhh...why didn't I realize it earlier! That's right, he is Lord Li Yang!"

"It really is Lord Li Yang! I felt that the black-hearted shop owner looked very familiar just now, but I was too far away to recognize him for a moment!"

"The owner of the Midnight Diner is actually Lord Li Yang? Then what were we doing before?"

"I'm almost crying! I think I just scolded Lord Li Yang. What should I do? I regret it so much!"

"Master Li Yang, I am your fan, I love you!"

"If Lord Li Yang comes to Totsuki as a distinguished professor, then there will be no problem. I fully agree!"

……

Li Yang's true identity was exposed, and the competition venue immediately exploded.

Many students were cheering, while some were so embarrassed that they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

These students were the ones who had just insulted Li Yang.

When these students thought about how they had just spoken rudely and insulted a Tiger-level chef, they were not only ashamed but also terrified.

I was afraid that Li Yang would take revenge on me later.

Li Yang was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters. He had just obtained the Eternal Spirit Sword, just like a child getting a favorite toy.

Can’t wait to try it out!

but.

Although the Shokugeki Battle is coming to an end, there is still some finishing work to be done.

such as.

Since Eizune Ezuya failed in the food battle, he must fulfill his previous promise and buy the shops on both sides of the Midnight Diner. Not only must he give them to Li Yang for free, but he will also be responsible for decorating them.

Of course, there is no rush for this matter.

Li Yang is now busy dealing with the enthusiastic Totsuki students.

They wanted autographs, photos, and hugs.

What makes Li Yang most nervous is that there are crazy female fans who are clamoring to give birth to his children.

Li Yang escaped from the crazy fans in a panic under the close protection of Totsuki Academy security personnel, Thor, Elma and Kanna.

"Li Yang, considering how popular you are in Totsuki, inviting you to be a distinguished professor seems to be the right thing to do!"

Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Li Yang's disheveled appearance and made a rare joke.

Li Yang smiled bitterly: "The students of Yuanyue are too enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that it's a bit scary... There were several girls just now... Forget it, I won't say anymore."

Just now, several women reached out and tried to touch places that shouldn't be touched.

It's terrible when a woman acts like a hooligan!

Nakiri Senzaemon did not come alone, he was accompanied by Shimado Gin and President Hanes.

"You should know the two people next to me. You should have met during the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony."

Li Yang nodded and said hello.

"Mr. Shimado and President Hanes, long time no see~"

Shimado Gin responded enthusiastically:

"During the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, Mr. Li Yang's golden fried rice truly opened my eyes... At that time, Cheng Yilang and I witnessed the entire process of your cooking, and it was very beneficial!"

"After the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, both Cheng Yilang and I have been promoted to four-star chefs, and we've even reached the five-star threshold!"

"So, I am really grateful to Mr. Li Yang."

Li Yang waved his hand and did not take credit for it.

"This is none of my business. It's all because of Mr. Shimado's own talent in cooking that he was able to be promoted so quickly."

Shimado Gin didn't say anything, but he knew it very well.

After watching Li Yang cooking golden fried rice, both he and Cheng Yilang were indeed inspired.

These inspirations eventually became the key to their promotion to four-star chefs!

"I will definitely remember this kindness and repay Mr. Li Yang when I have the chance."

Shimado Gin buried Li Yang's kindness in his heart.

The group of four came to the tea room where Nakiri Senzaemon entertained guests.

"Actually, the reason I invited you to be a special professor at Totsuki Academy is not only because I sincerely want you to impart some cooking experience to the students, but I also have other intentions."

Nakiri Senzaemon went straight to the point.

But Li Yang's reaction was beyond the expectations of the three people present. Not only was he not surprised, but he calmly took a sip of the tea in the cup.

"Good tea... This tea has beautiful, bright green buds and leaves, and a sweet and delicious flavor. It's soft and fragrant on the palate, giving people a feeling of freshness and naturalness. It must be Mingqian Longjing, right?"

"They say that the best items are those before the rain, and the most precious items are those before the bright moon. This is indeed true."

"But I don't know how good it would taste if I used this Mingqian Longjing tea to make a Longjing shrimp dish."

Nakiri Senzaemon's eyebrows raised involuntarily.

"You're quite patient, aren't you curious about my other intention in inviting you to be a distinguished professor at Totsuki?"

Li Yang put down the teacup and shook his head.

"It's not about being able to keep calm, but about being confident."

"No matter what your intentions are, you won't harm me."

"Even if you really want to harm me, you should carefully consider my reliance and whether the price you will pay for harming me is something Totsuki can bear."

Nakiri Senzaemon laughed heartily.

"Good! Good! Good! I chose you as the Totsuki Distinguished Professor. It was indeed a brilliant move!"

"To be honest, things haven't been peaceful at Totsuki Academy lately. Some students, even members of the Elite Ten, have been in frequent contact with outsiders, seemingly plotting something."

Shimado Gin took over the conversation and said, "After much investigation, we have obtained important information."

"That man is coming back!"

Nakiri Senzaemon waved his hand.

"There's nothing to worry about. That man is Nakiri Tsukushi, Erina's father and my son-in-law."

"Back then, that guy had forgotten his original intention of cooking and did some very excessive things, so I expelled him from the Nakiri family."

aside.

President Hanes continued:

"We learned from IGO intelligence channels that Nakiri Azuchi has received funding from a mysterious organization in recent years. Not only has his culinary skills greatly improved, he has also established a central culinary organization."

"The Central Gourmet Institute's mission is to ensure that only the most authoritative chefs are dedicated to researching recipes, while less talented chefs simply follow the instructions, thus eliminating meaningless culinary exploration."

"Nakiri's approach completely negates the chef's passion for cooking and creativity, yet hundreds of luxury hotels and major culinary institutions around the world have already reached cooperation agreements."

President Hanes sighed.

“It has to be said that central food institutions are very popular among investors in the catering industry.”

"Because the central food organization can guarantee the quality of the food it prepares, even though the dishes it prepares are like goods produced on an assembly line, the capitalists don't care about that."

"The same dish can get 70 or 90 points in the hands of a freelance chef, but in the hands of a chef from a central food institution it's a steady 80 points."

"For hotel operators, dishes that score 90 points are more delicious and can attract more diners."

"But a steady 80 points is enough to satisfy the average eater... We don't seek credit, but we do seek to avoid mistakes."

Li Yang understood the meaning of these words.

For hotel owners, it is more important to control the stability of the food. 80 points is enough to satisfy ordinary diners, so why pursue 90 points?

What’s more, it’s an unstable 90 points!

If the dish accidentally becomes 70 points or even 60 points, it will make the customer dissatisfied.

A trace of anger appeared on Nakiri Senzaemon's face.

"It's fine if Nakiri Thistle's central culinary organization messes around outside...but if he wants to bring this philosophy into Totsuki, I will absolutely not allow it!"

"Only a few talented chefs are qualified to research cooking? Ordinary chefs are only qualified to cook dishes step by step according to recipes?"

"Is that still a chef?"

“Cooking is about bringing happiness and joy to people, not just filling their stomachs!”

"My father once learned cooking from Master Chef Liu. He wasn't very talented, and before he was sixty, he was only a three-star chef. But at sixty, he had an epiphany and was quickly promoted to Tiger-level chef, and then even reached the level of Lin-level chef!"

"If we follow that guy's theory, my father would only be fit to be a kitchen helper before he turns sixty!"

"Even though Totsuki has a very high elimination rate, it will never wipe out any student's love for cooking, and I will never allow Totsuki to become like that!"

Li Yang knew this plot, and he also understood another purpose of Nakiri Senzaemon inviting him to be a special professor of Totsuki.

The problem still comes from that strange rule of Totsuki.

The Ten Greatest of Totsuki have the power to vote for the commander-in-chief!

Once the votes exceed 60%, the Totsuki Ten can dismiss the commander-in-chief and choose a new one.

In the anime, Nakiri Senzaemon was impeached by six of the Totsuki Ten Great Men and removed from his position as commander-in-chief.

just now.

Nakiri Senzaemon had already taken precautions and appointed Li Yang as a special professor at Totsuki just to provide a layer of insurance.

The Totsuki Distinguished Professor possesses enormous power similar to that of the Commander-in-Chief, and also has special advantages that the Commander-in-Chief does not possess.
