Chapter 278 Nagiri Thistle’s Thoughts

Suck, suck, suck.

As soon as the chewy noodles entered his mouth, Nakiri Thistle felt that a world of stars suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

A meteorite with sparks floated past quickly, followed by endless meteors, passing through the dark starry sky, creating a light and ethereal feeling.

this moment.

Nagi cut thistle, unable to bear it any longer.

He began to chase in the bright starry sky.

Chasing the meteors that flashed by, a Milky Way shining with bright silver light appeared!

"The Milky Way? I actually saw the Milky Way?"

In the real world, Nagiri Thistle, who had just finished eating Galaxy noodles, stood up in an instant and couldn't help shouting.

…

He was shocked.

The reason for shock was that he couldn't imagine it at all.

The noodles are made of squid ink and pearl powder, giving it the effect of a galaxy and starry sky, and the taste is so amazing.

Immediately, Nakiri Kiwa woke up and looked in disbelief at Zhang Fan who was busy making other dishes over there.

honestly.

He never dreamed of it.

I would be confused by Zhang Fan's bowl of Milky Way noodles.

You know, he hated the common people's dishes made by common people's chefs and using common people's ingredients.

However, I never thought that I would be conquered by a bowl of noodles without paying attention!

"Don't waste the remaining soup."

Seeing Nagiri finish eating thistle, Zhang Fan reminded him lightly.

"Soup?"

Ji, a little stunned.

After being reminded by Zhang Fan, he discovered the thick black noodles in the bowl. It had been eaten clean by myself, and there was nothing left.

"Although I don't want to admit it, this bowl of cuttlefish noodles does taste good."

"The taste is smooth, refreshing, and full of elasticity. I have eaten pasta dishes from all over the world, and this is the first time I have seen that a bowl of noodles can have such great charm!"

"How on earth did you do that?"

"Obviously all the ingredients used were squid ink, pearl powder, and noodles, but the result..."

Nakiri Thistle asked with a look of disbelief.

"Can't you guess?"

Zhang Fan still said calmly.

"Um?"

Nagi cut thistle, stunned for a moment.

Then he ignored Zhang Fan, continued to pick up the blue and white porcelain bowl, and started drinking soup.

When the soup in the bowl was so dark that you couldn't even see the bottom, as soon as you took your mouth, the expression on Nakiri Thistle's face suddenly relaxed.

At this moment, you will feel warm all over your body, and your whole body will feel as if you are about to fly.

"Beef leg bone, Sichuan peppercorns, strawberry, cinnamon, saffron... In addition to these spices, there seems to be another spice that I can't name?"

Nagi cut thistle, closed his eyes and thought about it, and kept mumbling in his mouth.

"I see!"

“In the process of making flavored cuttlefish noodles, no matter which spices or flavors you choose to incorporate, you must mix them evenly with the dough. This is the only rule.”

"In the dough recipe, black squid ink must be added, and it is blended together without any grudge, turning the noodles black and condensing a breath from the deep sea."

"Fresh, new, salty, tough, strong, fragrant, smooth..."

"These words, if used to describe this bowl of noodles, will inevitably appear pretentious."

"I think it should be the best compliment for it!"

After saying this, Ji's eyes stared at Zhang Fan again.

…

"Your name is Zhang Fan, right?"

"Hisako once told me that there is already a chef in this world who can satisfy Erina!"

"I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that this chef is probably you."

Soon, Nakiri Thistle withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"Ah!"

"It's not just Erina."

When Zhang Fan heard this, he shrugged and replied with a smile.

"What's the meaning?"

After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Nakiri Thistle was startled.

He began to think, and his fingers inadvertently tapped on the table, making a subtle and rhythmic sound.

Finally, he came to his senses and said even more unbelievably: "I really underestimate you, but judging from the quality of this bowl of cuttlefish noodles, your words are indeed true!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that!"

"I, Nagiri Thistle, will be able to taste it one day, which is far superior to Seiichiro-senpai's cooking."

Immediately, Ji Zhuan felt happy and couldn't help laughing.

His smile seemed to express his regret for the tragedy in Seiichiro Yukihira's life, his dissatisfaction with the entire culinary world, and his determination to urgently make changes to Totsuki Academy over the years.

Perhaps, at this moment, he was finally relieved.

…

In fact, for Nakiri Thistle, Saiba Joichiro is the senior he respects most in his life.

As early as the Totsuki period, he had always admired Joichiro's strength, and always wanted to follow in his footsteps. However, the person he followed gave up midway, and he only felt angry and discouraged.

At the same time, I am completely disappointed with the entire culinary world!

But at the moment, Zhang Fan's bowl of Milky Way noodles gave him a glimmer of hope.

"Your cooking is indeed very good."

"I have witnessed countless excellent dishes in my life, and I have also witnessed various chefs who are willing to work hard for their own beliefs."

"However, only your cooking can make me so deeply admired!"

Finally, after calming down, Nakiri Thistle spoke truthfully.

Listening to her father's words, Erina on the side couldn't help but be startled. Then she clenched her fists and her whole body trembled slightly. She was obviously a little happy and excited.

Sure enough!

Zhang Fan's cooking successfully convinced his father too!

In this way, my father should be able to understand his own shortcomings, right?

"Um!"

Zhang Fan, however, acted unusually calm and just nodded.

…

"Do you want to come and cooperate with me?"

"With your own abilities, if you and I can join forces, we will definitely dominate the entire cooking world, and we will definitely change everything!"

At this moment, Nakiri Ji took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Zhang Fan. He believed that as long as he relied on the power of the entire central food agency and Zhang Fan, he would be able to complete his long-planned plan!

"I reject."

Zhang Fan must have refused straight away: "I told you from the beginning, I have no interest in your Yuanyue Academy affairs at all!"

"What I want to do most right now is to run this izakaya well!"

"reject?"

"No, you can't refuse."

"With your cooking skills, if you often live in this small izakaya and cook inferior food, that would be the greatest misfortune in the entire culinary world!"

When Nakiri Kiku heard this, he was inevitably a little panicked. He really wanted to win over Zhang Fan, and he also deeply understood the importance of Zhang Fan.

"Gourmet food is about the pursuit of perfection, the pursuit of delicious food, and the distinction between the noble and the lowly. Just like art, there will always be beauty and vulgarity, and there will always be differences. I think you should know this better than me. !”

"If the cuisine you cook is always based on the public's aesthetics, and you always think and measure it from the perspective of ordinary people, then what is cooking?"

…

“In my eyes, the most important thing about cooking is the recognition of the public!”

"If you rely on a few authoritative people to make the evaluation, and then give it a lot of titles and honors, it will be like a castle in the air and completely lose the essence of gourmet food."

"The reason why you are dissatisfied with the culinary world is that everyone today is pursuing honor and status, and has forgotten that the essence of being a chef is to create dishes that people find interesting."

Zhang Fan explained.

"Um?"

Hearing this, Nakiri Thistle could not help but be stunned again.

The conversation just now made him vaguely aware of the problems in the food and cooking industry.

But what made him even more amazed was that Zhang Fan in front of him was only almost twenty years old, but he already had ideas and pursuits that transcended the world!

Afterwards, he regained consciousness for a moment, raised his head and took a deep look at Erina, his eyes suddenly became very complicated.

…

"Erina, you have really found a friend you can rely on!"

Finally, he sighed.

"Father, stop it."

"Zhang Fan's cooking has been able to free me from the pain caused by God's Tongue. Now there is really nothing worth doing for you!"

Erina could only stand up and face her father boldly.

"I won't stop."

Nakiri Ji looked down at the empty ceramic bowl in front of her. She once again recalled the Galaxy Noodle cooking that Zhang Fan had just done in her mind, and couldn't help but think of some questions.

"I admit, compared to me as a father."

"The Zhang Fan in front of you may be able to fully display your talent of God's Tongue."

"So I changed my mind. I want to see how far you can grow under Zhang Fan's leadership?"

"Erina, just try to change the current situation of Totsuki Academy!"

Then, Nakiri Thistle's eyes tightened and he said seriously.

"Father." Erina was stunned for a moment, and then she understood Nagi Kirihisa's intention.

Therefore, she hesitated for a moment and her eyes became firmer: "If this is the case, then I will definitely not let you down! Father, I will definitely use my own power to completely rebirth the entire Yueyue Academy!"

"Well, I'll wait."

Seeing this, Nakiri Thistle nodded again.

Finally, he turned to look at Zhang Fan again and continued: "Zhang Fan, then my daughter Erina will be entrusted to you. I hope you can train her well and let her grow!"

"Even if you don't say it, as the owner of this izakaya, I will do it."

Zhang Fan just replied casually.

…

"Erina."

"Emotional matters are actually really hard to say."

"Sometimes just a casual relationship can lead to deep love. Father, I could tell at the first sight that you really like Zhang Fan!"

"And Zhang Fan's cooking skills are better than mine, so keeping you by his side may not be a bad thing!"

"This period of time."

"You're right here at the izakaya, so work hard!"

Immediately receiving Zhang Fan's reply, Nakiri Thistle was visibly relieved.

Then, he sighed softly towards Erina, and his tone of voice was a little cold.

"I understand, father." Erina's cheeks turned slightly red.

She really didn't expect that her father, like her grandfather Nakiri Senzaemon, was so optimistic about Zhang Fan, and even wanted to regard Zhang Fan as the "heir" of the entire family in the future!

…

At the time of the 69th session.

Gin Dojima, he is the graduate with the highest score in Totsuki's history, and he is the first among the 69 Totsuki Ten Elites.

After graduation, he rejected invitations from 800 major restaurants across the country and finally chose to work at Totsuki Resort, which caused a huge sensation!

Because of this, he has always been hailed as the top of all graduates, an insurmountable chasm!

However, Nakamura Thistle doesn't think so.

He felt that this honor should belong to another person:

Seiichiro Saiba!

…

Young Seiichiro.

He once accomplished the feat of defeating an entire fifty people with his own strength!

Therefore, Nakamura Thistle has always regarded him as his spiritual idol. He always firmly believes that Saiba-senpai will become the most dazzling star in the entire Totsuki Academy and the new star in the entire world!

But in the end, this belief was broken:

Seiichiro Saiba disappeared overnight when he was preparing to participate in the BLUE world-class competition!

Nakamura Thistle is incomprehensible from beginning to end.

But the only thing that is certain is that from then on, the pleasant time he and Saiba Seiichiro spent learning cooking and discussing cooking skills together eventually disappeared with time.

As a result, he became self-destructive and even went so far as to marry into the family of his wife, Nagiri, and changed his name to Nagiri Thistle.

I want to use the power of God’s tongue to prove to the world what the right path is!

The final result is that although his cooking skills were temporarily recognized by Nakiri Shinagi, it was still difficult to block the curse effect of God's Tongue.

As a result, all the dishes he made still couldn't be eaten by Shina Nakiri.

In the end, Nakiri Shinagi's anorexia became more and more serious day by day, and she began to be unable to bear the pain, so she chose to abandon Nakiri Thistle and Nakiri Erina and ran away from home!

…

This kind of thing is a huge blow to Nagi Kirihisa.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that he wanted to give up cooking completely, but soon he put his hope in his daughter Erina.

After all, Erina, who also possesses the Tongue of God, is just a piece of rough jade that can be carefully carved due to her young age!

Therefore, for a long time, Nakiri Thistle began to educate Erina in his own way, asking her to discard all those inconspicuous civilian dishes!

Originally, his training had already produced some results.

However, the revelation of the matter completely shocked and regretted Nakiri Senzaemon, and in the end the commander-in-chief had no choice but to expel him from Nakiri's house.

As for Nakiri Thistle's identity was just a son-in-law, there was no way he could resist.

Therefore, he could only disappear.

Not long ago, he suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, and quickly contacted the top ten, ousted the commander-in-chief Nakiri Senzaemon, and then became the new commander-in-chief himself!
