Amiyokocho Old Shopping Street.

A red sports car was parked at the entrance of the Xia store, and only half of the restaurant was opened at the entrance. The yellow-toned warm lights sprinkled out of the store, illuminating a small piece of street.

In the store, Xia Yu was busy in the kitchen, preparing a late-night snack for Ryoko Lina, Morita Maki, and himself.

The midnight snack is not a unique delicacy, but three bowls of beef ramen with a lighter taste.

The three of them sat on the same table and were eating quietly.

Xia Yu was a little absent-minded. In fact, just in the kitchen, he repeatedly checked the gains he had obtained from [Enderstanding Crystal], and still doesn't believe it very much.

System data floats on the retina:

"【Spice Affinity】: One of the advanced talents of the basic system of ‘Seasoning’, but after lighting up, you cannot allocate talent points to increase the level. If you want to become a spice authority and spice master, then this talent is indispensable."

Click the tree diagram of the chef's talent/skills, and you can see that the lowest level of the basic skill of "seasoning" has a golden line that goes straight up, connecting an icon representing the talent of [Spice Affinity].

The icon of [Chef Heart] is a twisted abstract heart shape.

The icon of [Explosion Flame] is an elemental flame with irritating eyes.

The [Spice Affinity] icon is a pair of slender and slender hands.

Xia Yu is not sure about the specific function of this talent. In the car, he just read out the spice ingredients in the sachet based on his intuition, but he just tried it in the kitchen. This talent seemed to be limited to spices and had no response to other condiments. The difference with [God's Smell] is still very obvious.

In short, it’s not enough to go home empty-handed, at least I have gained an advanced talent and I feel comforted in my heart.

"By the way, what documents does Mr. Dojima have in my bag?" Xia Yu finished eating the beef ramen, put the chopsticks, turned around and looked for the file bag thrown on the counter, untied the bag, and took out a contract letter.

The eyes locked on the file title and subconsciously thought:

“Yuanyue Guest Lecturer Employment Agreement…”

Well.

Blinking, Xia Yu read the title again, and after confirming that it was correct, he went to look through the contents of the agreement, "This, Mr. Dojima gave the wrong file bag, right?"

"It's the employment agreement." Ryoko Lina, who was on the seat, suddenly replied.

"I'm a high school student..." Xia Yu said this and wanted to laugh. He really didn't pretend to be young. He is really sixteen years old this year, without any trace of moisture.

"In the food world, those who are good at it are the first."

Ryoko Lina said indifferently, "You made that quasi-special dish tonight. Even if Yuanyue does not hire you through special channels and let you participate in Yuanyue's tutor competition for the whole society, you will also stand out."

"But I didn't say I was going to Yuanyue." Xia Yu was really speechless.

Being a teacher seems to be pretty good. He tamed a group of Yuanyue geniuses and made them obey. Just thinking about it makes his mind full of accomplishment. But the question is, what should I do if the Xia Chinese Cuisine Shop? Yuanyue students can freely control their time by reaching the level of the top ten, but the teacher may not be.

Being a teacher and running a Xia Chinese cuisine shop is obviously in conflict.

If you insist on making a choice, Xia Yu's answer is very obvious.

"It's not an ordinary teaching tutor, but a guest lecturer. Please take a closer look at the content of the agreement." Ryoko Lina said.

"All right……"

Xia Yu grabbed the document, ignored a lot of unnecessary careful texts, and only looked at the indicated working hours and work content.

“There is only one class a week, and it’s a fixed time of one morning on Saturday?”

“Elective course?”

“The course content is to be determined…”

"Agreement remuneration, calculated based on each class hours, 200,000 yen per class."

His eyes turned to the last page of the document, which was almost full of signatures and personal seals. Natsuyu looked at it and the signers included Dojima Gin, Nakiri Sensaemon, IGO included Ryoko Lina, and Kamihara Masato.

These people are considered Party A of the agreement, and Party B is naturally Xia Yu. The signature and seal are empty. As long as he signs his name and stamps it, this document has legal significance.

What made Xia Yu care about was that he was only a deputy title and deputy guest lecturer. In this course, there was also a genuine special chef as the main lecturer and a deputy lecturer arranged by Yuanyue.

What course requires three lecturers? Xia Yu asked straight to the point.

Ryoko Lina replied: "This is an experimental cooperation project between IGO Neon Department and Yuanyue, aiming to cultivate more preparatory special chefs for the Oriental Food Industry..."

"Wait--" Xia Yu interrupted with a wave of his hand and opened his eyes wide, "You mean the course content, to cultivate a 'preparation' super chef?!"

The word preparation is understood to him as having special potential.

Nodded, Ryoko Lina said:

"In fact, there is no specific content in the course, it is to guide it. Of course, the focus is on the guidance of the 'Chef Heart'." After that, she glanced at Maki Morita, and the meaning was very obvious. Potential seeds like Maki are the key objects of the course.

"interesting."

Xia Yu touched his chin.

Anyone who is familiar with the plot of the halberd knows that soon, the ghost father Nakiri Shizuki will return to Totsuki, and even force Nakiri Sesaemon to step down from the throne of the general general of Totsuki, and then carry out drastic "elite" system reform.

The world is very deep, and the return of Nakiri Thistle may not cause any storm, but it may also be more violent than the original work. If he decides to become a visiting lecturer jointly hired by Yuanyue and IGO institutions, he will definitely not be able to escape Yuanyue's turbulent period and cannot stay out of the matter and be a melon-eating crowd.

"I'm considering it." Xia Yu said.

“Reply to us before school starts in April.”

Ryoko Lina got up and left the shop. When she opened the car door, she seemed to remember something. She stopped and turned around and said seriously: "If you have achieved results in the improvement of the use of frost-fall tofu in 'Magic Mapo Tofu', please be sure to notify me as soon as possible!"

"In exchange, I can share my special recipe with you." Ryoko Lina bowed deeply, "The perfect luminous cuisine contains the mystery of 'meaning of food', and may be the key to my promotion to Chef Lin, please!"

Xia Yu was stunned and took a breath.

Top and super chefs like Gin Dojima and Lina Ryoko are still seeking and improving, and he still has a lot to learn, so he can't stop being complacent.

"I will study it well!" Xia Yu answered solemnly. Liangzi Lina, who received the reply, nodded and drove away.

Hey. When answering Ryoko Lina, Xia Yu received a prompt for a new task and was a little stunned.

"Ayu, I'm back home too." Morita Maki turned around and waved his hand at him, laughing like a bell, "I want to tell my parents about the news that I passed the Yuanyue exam."

The childhood sweetheart trotted away with a brisk pace.

Xia Yu returned to the store, stared at the documents on the counter, rubbed his chin, and his eyes gradually became firmer.

...

Late at night, Nakiri's house.

The kitchenware in the courtyard, charcoal and ash, etc. have been cleaned by the servants.

But in the corner of the courtyard, there is also a small oven that emits a scorching red light in the darkness.

"Hisha, hurry up, faster, the fire is not warm enough!" Nakirina's voice was quick, turning over the roasted suckling pig mounted on the stove.

"Um!"

Shinto Hisako was shaking the blower when she suddenly smelled a pungent burnt smell. She couldn't help but stop and covered her nose and said, "Miss Erina, it's burnt!"

"I know!"

God's tongue said ashamed and angry: "Damn it, how can we control the temperature under such a fierce fire?!"

In the teahouse, Nakiri Ssauemon retracted his gaze and shook his head.

At this time, the cell phone placed on the tatami suddenly vibrated.

The caller ID is a number from China. Nakiri Sesaemon smiled and after answering, he said cheerfully: "Mr. Xia Qing, I have been waiting for your phone number for a long time."

"Your Excellency General, is there anything urgent?" The voice on the other end was exhausted.

The old guys both used respectful names to each other, but the atmosphere of conversation was relaxed.

"You should know the glowing dishes, right?"

“…”
