I found a life simulator.

"As for the individual competition, Chef Su Ze, you don't need to participate anymore. These two rounds have already fully demonstrated your strength," said Senzaemon Nakiri with a smile. He was now thinking about how to keep Su Ze here.

Leave Su Ze at Totsuki Academy.

Make him a student at Totsuki Academy.

But with such amazing culinary skills, would he really agree to stay at Totsuki Culinary Academy? This made Senzaemon Nakiri fall into deep thought.

"Aren't you going to compete anymore?" Su Ze asked in surprise. He was thinking that if he fought the entire round of individual matches, it would be too harsh. He was still wondering if he should hold back a little and save his strength.

Unexpectedly, the referee stopped him from hitting the ball.

Yeah.

If we keep fighting, it might traumatize our own people from Totsuki Academy, which would be no fun. Erina Nakiri is extremely protective of her own, and if I beat her too badly, my back will hurt again.

Senzaemon Nakiri nodded. "Your skills in French cuisine and desserts have surpassed most chefs. And after two rounds, you must be a little tired, right? There's still a team competition later, so it's good for you to rest."

"In a competition, there's no such thing as letting players play several rounds in a row."

Senzaemon Nakiri laughed heartily, "Now, let's leave the competition venue to the others. You can go down to the stage and talk to Erina about the team dish we'll be making together later."

Senzaemon Nakiri still wanted Su Ze to compete in a few more rounds, but playing several rounds of individual matches would indeed be a great test of a chef's mental state.

A round of the match may take more than half an hour.

If you keep competing in individual matches like this, you might have to cook for several hours, making those formulaic dishes, which certainly isn't tiring.

However, the dishes prepared in the competition require the contestants to put in a lot of effort. Sometimes, what are called dishes are actually more like works of art on the table.

If there were a chef who specialized in carving techniques, it would probably be exhausting for him to prepare a single dish.

If they keep playing for several rounds, even an iron man couldn't take it.

Considering this situation, Senzaemon Nakiri decided to let Suze rest early on.

Su Ze heard this.

He walked down from the stage.

Erina Nakiri had her legs crossed, and there was an empty seat to her left.

"Well played." Erina Nakiri praised Su Ze subtly as she saw him come down to rest.

"I didn't embarrass you, did I?" Su Ze continued, echoing Erina Nakiri's tone, and sat down in his seat.

“With your strength, you can easily take on any opponent,” Erina Nakiri said from the side.

"Eishi will be very sad to hear that," Isshiki Satoshi said helplessly, sitting behind Erina.

Is this still human language?

When did the Elite Ten of Totsuki become a unit of measurement for strength?

Is it okay to just play casually?

At this moment, Erina Nakiri realized that there was another member of the Elite Ten behind her, and that saying such things here was indeed too biased.

"No, it did take a little effort," Su Ze said, stepping in to cover for Erina's misunderstanding.

but.

Don't forget, Su Ze is an interviewing genius.

He always manages to cause problems during interviews because sometimes what he says always sounds sarcastic.

However, Su Ze did not have any intention of mocking in a subjective sense.

What's the difference between "just playing casually" and "it took a little effort"?

Satoshi Isshiki didn't know where to begin his rant.

The actual answer is...

Su Ze played as expected and won easily.

"By the way, what kind of team dish are you two going to make later?" Hisako Shinoto quickly stepped in to save the day.

she!

That's the real expert at saving the day.

Erina Nakiri has made quite a few mistakes with her words; her sharp tongue is well-known throughout Totsuki Academy.

Hisako Shinto is used to helping the young lady out of trouble.

Just when she was about to save the young lady from trouble, Su Ze's words also seemed off, so she quickly came to the rescue of these two troublemakers.

They changed the subject.

"Team cooking?" Su Ze replied straightforwardly, "Haven't decided yet."

"Isn't there any theme?" Hisako Shinoto asked, "Themes like Chinese cuisine or French cuisine."

"What would you like to eat?" Su Ze asked Hisako Shinto.

"I'd like to eat some medicinal cuisine," Hisako Shinoto said after thinking for a moment. She was an expert in medicinal cuisine and had been studying medicinal dishes in Chinese cuisine since she was a child.

However, this kind of cuisine is even more niche than niche.

Desserts are only enjoyed by people who like sweets.

Medicinal cuisine...

Their position is awkward.

Few people enjoy actively seeking out medicinal cuisine.

"I can do it." Su Ze also studied medicinal cuisine. At the time, he was researching the flavors of various ingredients after they were neutralized. Later, he started to study medicinal herbs and thought about which herbs could also be used to make dishes.

When studying medicinal herbs, one will encounter dishes made with medicinal herbs.

But it's a pity.

Medicinal cuisine dishes have poor visual appeal in competitions and are almost never used in competitions.

"How about we make that set meal?" Erina Nakiri suddenly perked up.

"Which package?" Su Ze didn't understand. Sometimes you need to be direct to understand what the other person means.

"Just that home-cooked meal!" Erina Nakiri realized there were many people around her and found it difficult to say it.

She whispered in his ear.

"A parent-child growth package made for Nakiri Mirai!"

Su Ze has two sons and two daughters.

The third child, his second daughter Nakiri Mirai, was frail and sickly from a young age. Su Ze felt quite guilty about her health issues.

Su Ze always felt that the situation was caused by his failure to take good care of Erina during her childbirth.

That period was also the time when Suze and Erina had the most arguments and the most ideological conflicts.

At the same time, they also put aside their past grievances and their relationship warmed up during this period.

Su Ze had a selfish affection for his daughter, Nakiri Mirai; or rather, he doted on her the most.

She was a precious witness who saw him and Erina fall in love, but she was also the daughter to whom Suze felt most guilty.

After giving birth to Nakiri Mirai, Erina suffered from postpartum depression and became extremely irritable. Seeing Erina like that led to Mirai having a very gentle personality and being frail and sickly from a young age.

Both Suze and Erina later felt they owed their future daughter a great deal, so their affection for Nakiri Mirai was a special kind of affection.

Speaking of which.

Su Ze suddenly realized that the medicinal cuisine he had learned at the beginning was actually developed to nourish the young and weak Nakiri Mirai and improve her health.

This dish.

This was also the dish that Su Ze practiced most diligently and became most skilled at.

Even the recipe for this dish was created by Erina and Suze together, filling in the gaps.

This dish was also the first collaborative dish made by Suze and Erina.

but.

It's still the same situation.

It tastes good and has good medicinal effects, but it's not very visually appealing in competitions, so it's not suitable for use in tournaments.

However, Su Ze caught a glimpse of Erina's eager expression out of the corner of his eye.

He nodded slightly.

Well, it's my wife's opinion after all, so sometimes I have to take it into consideration.

Her happiness is the most important thing.

I'm taking a day off. I'll be in update mode on the afternoon of the 14th.

I've been quite busy with life lately.

I've been writing every day at night, and I feel this lifestyle is becoming increasingly inhumane, so I've decided not to do any housework for my family during the day.

I spent half the day trying to write something, but I didn't manage to. After all, I still need to look up information on medicinal cuisine.

After thinking about it, I'll ask for leave.

I'll write more tomorrow.

However, since I'll be spending more time writing during the day, I'll definitely be writing more.

Starting from the 14th.

I will increase the daily update from 4000 words to 6000 words, with no upper limit, until the story is completed.

So let me rest today.

Thank you for your understanding, dear readers!

Chapter 82 Something's Wrong With You! (First Update)

Making medicinal cuisine is like starting on the road to a comeback from the very beginning, because medicinal cuisine is the least visually appealing of all culinary categories.

You have to understand, we live in an age of entertainment to the death.

Under the pressure of a high-pressure lifestyle, people often watch interesting 'performances' to relieve stress.

In ancient Rome, in order to appease the inherent tyranny of the Roman nobility, a large number of gladiators paid the ultimate price by performing extremely dangerous entertainment.

Now that human civilization has evolved to a highly civilized stage, it certainly won't degenerate into the state of ancient Rome.

However, in highly developed states, human life is similar, and under immense pressure, all kinds of skill competitions have taken to the stage of television screens.

Football matches, basketball matches, and e-sports competitions are products born in response to the times. People cheer for an extremely exciting solo goal; they also revel in a last-minute comeback victory; a single kill, a thrilling victory in a small-scale team battle, and the attention of audiences worldwide.

These are all ways for people to relieve stress in modern life.

They need entertaining games to relieve their stress.

A football match that goes on for 90 minutes without a single goal, a basketball game where points are scored entirely by fouls, or an esports game that's like Shakespeare, where you manage the game while walking around—no matter how elegant the formations are, the audience doesn't enjoy watching them.

Is this what they want to see?

The same reason.

Cooking competitions have a large audience in this era, and medicinal cuisine is on a winning streak right from the start.

The biggest problem is that even though you've put all that medicinal cuisine on the table and made so many careful preparations, the audience still can't understand it.

What they want to see is the kind of bold and unrestrained cooking, the dazzling knife skills, and the magical effect of a bowl of rice topped with broth, instantly turning it into a luminous dish.

Instead of the kind of competition where the entire process is a process of brewing, and then the judges take a sip, launch into a long-winded critique, and finally award a high score.

Being there in person and not being there in person are two different experiences.

On-site, you can witness and even taste the delicious food firsthand. On television, viewers can only see the visual effects; they cannot see the taste or aroma of the food.

In order to conform to modern aesthetics.

In order to convince the audience and prevent them from blindly following the crowd, we also wanted to win their hearts and minds.

In most cooking competitions, medicinal cuisine is a type of dish that will fail if presented in the light. If you bring it out in a crucial competition, we will admire you and give you a good score, but you will never win the championship.

We need to create a screen effect!

People who mainly watch TV only have one pair of eyes. If you can't even satisfy their visual needs, how can you expect them to be convinced?
