"The food capital of the human world is really extraordinary!" Liu Maoxing looked at the food city of "a pool of wine and a forest of meat" in front of him, his eyes shining. The
food capital is a famous tourist city in the human world, and in the human world, as a necessary factor for "attractions", it is naturally "food"!
Unlike most tourist cities, the characteristics of the food capital are not famous for some specialties, but for "collecting famous dishes from all over the world and gathering elite chefs".
The iconic building, the Food Tower, is about the same size as the Sky Arena in the Hunter World... Because they are all in a big universe, so the aesthetics are similar?
Among them, there are many seven-star restaurants above the 100th floor, which require reservations for dining. Above the 200th floor, almost all of them are the world's top 100 chefs. Many of the restaurants they run are only open for a few days throughout the year...
In addition, there are many food restaurants outside the food tower. Some inconspicuous stores may hide the bosses of the cooking world.
The small stalls on the street without storefronts are all self-service projects operated by the food capital. Therefore, when entering this city, if the authority of the food ID is insufficient, it will cost a lot of money, which is almost the annual income of an ordinary family.
However, even so, it couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm. Even ordinary people were willing to save money to come and play.
As a cook, even Liu Maoxing was excited after coming to the food capital - excited to see many ingredients and cooking methods that he had never seen before!
However, compared with ordinary cooks, Liu Maoxing's heart is obviously bigger...
Other cooks have ambitions, but only one day, they can have their own store on the 200th floor of the food tower. After Liu Maoxing came to the food tower, he pointed at the food tower and said to Guan Liyuan: "When we have money in the future, we will take this place down, refer to the rules of the sky arena, and let them fight for the floor with food battles. How about it?" Guan Liyuan
:...
Some people around heard Liu Maoxing's words. Although they didn't know what food battles or sky arena were, they understood what it meant to "take this place down", and couldn't help pointing and sneering at the two.
At the same time, on the other side of the food tower, A Lu and Xiao Song met the legendary cook Jie Nao, one of the "national treasures of the food world" in the human world!
Komatsu, who just found out that A-Lu came here to meet Setsuno, was also shocked.
After all, Setsuno's status among cooks is equivalent to Jiro's status among food hunters - a legendary figure who is hundreds of years old!
Although Setsuno looked very old at this time, just like when Guan Liyuan and others met Jiro in the Puffer Whale Cave, her body had shrunk to a petite level, and she looked shaky even when she walked with a cane, but no one would doubt her ability.
"Master Setsuno? Eh? The person Mr. A-Lu wants to meet is actually Master Setsuno?" Komatsu was so shocked that his facial features were dancing.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Grandma Setsuno." Setsuno's voice was that of a delicate grandma.
"Wait! Mr. A-Lu...you, you don't want to invite Grandma Setsuno and Chef Liu to a food battle, right? That's impossible, right?" Komatsu suddenly remembered that A-Lu had written a letter to Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing before.
"Of course not, how could that be possible! I also made an appointment with Master Smoke and Chef An. He has his own restaurant on the 206th floor of the Food Tower... He once commissioned me to hunt for a kind of food, so I can make an appointment with him once." A Lu said.
Xiao Song was relieved when he heard that he was not going to fight with Jie Nuo, but he became excited again after hearing the name of Master Smoke.
"Master Smoke? Is it the Chef An who is ranked 73rd in the world?" Stars flashed in Xiao Song's eyes again.
"Huh? Are you talking about Chef Liu who took the poison sac of puffer whale alive? What is food battle?" Jie Nuo was standing aside and didn't understand what they were talking about.
A Lu hurriedly explained to Jie Nuo...
"...That's it. I want to introduce him to Jie Nuo's grandmother later. I believe he will be very excited when he sees Jie Nuo's grandmother." A Lu said.
"I see, it's still good to be young... Ho ho ho." Jie Nuo smiled.
At this moment, the three of them noticed the small commotion caused by Liu Maoxing's bold words. They looked over in the direction of the laughter and saw Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing also arrived at the food tower. The latter also looked back because of the perception of the gaze.
"It's Alu and Xiaosong." Guan Liyuan said.
"Well? Is the one next to him..." Liu Maoxing found the figure of Jieno.
Jieno is different from Jiro. Even now, she often appears in various magazines every year, so Liu Maoxing recognized her at a glance.
"Ah! Just mentioned you and you are here? Let me introduce you..." Alu said and was about to say hello.
However, Liu Maoxing, who was excited, patted his shoulder and said: "It's worthy of being Alu! I was originally worried that the chef you found would not be strong enough. Sure enough... the face of the Four Heavenly Kings is still very big!"
Alu: ? ? ?
"Wait, wait a minute... don't..."
Before A Lu could stop him, he saw Liu Maoxing standing in front of Jie Nuo and said, "Chef Jie Nuo, I'm glad to meet you, and I'm glad... to challenge you to a food battle! Since I'm the one who initiated the food battle, the theme and the stakes are all up to you!"
Liu Maoxing's fighting spirit was already visible to the naked eye...
Not to mention Xiao Song who was standing next to him, even A Lu, who was always carefree, was completely shocked at this time - what kind of brain circuit does it take for granted that Jie Nuo is the "opponent" he found for him?
"What a confident young man..." Jie Nuo said.
"No, no, wait a minute! The opponent I'm talking about is not Jie Nuo's mother-in-law... And you want to challenge Jie Nuo's mother-in-law, isn't that too big a leap?" A Lu couldn't help but say. "
Oh? Before challenging Chef Jie Nuo, are there any prerequisites?" Liu Maoxing asked with interest, as if he had already set his sights on Jie Nuo.
When she was young, Setsuno was not a good-tempered person. Even now, masters of IGO Zone 0 such as "Yosaku" still have lingering fears when they mention Setsuno. However, to young chefs, Setsuno seems to have a very kind temper.
"Qualifications are not necessary... But I am old and may not have so much physical strength to compete with you young people. My brain is not fast enough. It is tiring to think of recipes. How about this... Come to my shop to eat something first, and then we can talk slowly." Setsuno said.
"Eh? Grandma Setsuno, you are too biased, right? I made reservations for two years before I got this meal today!" A Lu said helplessly.
"Ha ha ha, a man who is fussy about everything will not be popular." Jie Nai said with a smile.
A Lu, Xiao Song, and even Guan Liyuan, all roughly guessed Jie Nai's intention - probably with the idea of ​​supporting the younger generation, he wanted Liu Maoxing to give up.
Although a chef of Jie Nai's level should have a good eye for his peers, but... Liu Maoxing's incarnation in this world, although he has the aura of a first-class chef, does not have the "food luck" that a first-class chef should have, so he has some defects in temperament. Jie Nai's judgment of Liu Maoxing's cooking level based on impression alone may not be accurate...
