766. Chapter 755: Food Wars! Mr. Lu vs. Shimi



Chapter 755: Food Wars! Lu Sensei VS Shimi

Serena and Musashi are both participating in this Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, so there is no reason for Lu Sensei not to attend.

Having a master of coordination like myself as the judge will be absolutely fair and just, and it will also relieve some pressure on Se-mei who is making her debut for the first time.

As for Musashi... Teacher Lu was worried that she would be troubled by the judges again.

After all, Musashi's performance is too avant-garde and does have technical content, but it is still too early for the public to understand her art...

In a deserted area near the city of Miare, the three members of Team Rocket were walking slowly.

"Musashi, are you really going to participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament?"

Kojiro said anxiously. He was worried that Musashi would be laughed at by the audience and judges and suffer another blow.

"Of course!" Musashi clenched his fists, with flames dancing in his eyes, "I want to prove myself and I will definitely win the title of 'Queen of Carlos'!"

Musashi is extremely strong-willed, and despite having failed in careers such as nurse and coordinator, she still persists in pursuing her dream.

For this trip to Carlos, Musashi took on two more aliases, actress "Musashi Reno" and performer "Musashi Wei".

"When Musashi becomes the Queen of Carlos, she will have endless funds, meow~" Meow Meow laughed.

"Of course!" Musashi raised his head proudly, and then said dejectedly: "Speaking of which... the performer's costumes need to be customized, so I may need to use a little bit of funds..."

"How much?" Kojiro asked, tilting his head.

Hearing the number reported by Musashi, Kojiro and Meowth immediately exploded: "Are you kidding me?!"

"Hehe, it's not much actually. Compared to the costumes of masters like Mikoli..."

Musashi rubbed his hands together and smiled awkwardly, then slumped his shoulders and sighed, "Of course, it's not necessary."

Anyway, the chances of winning are slim, I just want to give it a try and do my best...

"Two days."

Musashi was stunned, looked up, and saw Kojiro pointing with two fingers.

Kojiro smiled and said, "Give me two days. We will earn enough money for this Miare City Food Festival to buy you a nice outfit!"

"Let Musashi become a great beauty~ meow!" Meow Meow said with her hands on her hips.

“You guys…” Musashi’s eyes were warm, he took a deep breath, and said loudly: “Then hurry up and get ready, the food festival starts tomorrow!”

"Haha, got it!" Kojiro and Meowth saluted.

"Ss ...

** November 6th, Saturday, the weather is clear and crisp in autumn.

The food festival co-organized by the Miare City Chamber of Commerce was held as scheduled.

The entire central square, with the Prism Tower as the center, is surrounded by shops of all sizes, with all kinds of delicious food exuding tempting aromas.

"Here, freshly baked galette, please take it~"

"The buffet at Pu Tong Restaurant? It sounds ordinary..."

"Come and see, there are people battling Pokémon over at the Battle Cafe!"

The Battle Café is an old store on the north street. It attracts customers with battles all year round, and the winner gets a free meal.

When Mr. Lu first heard the news, he wanted to sign up, but considering that his status as the "previous champion" was too bullying, he gave up in tears.

At this time, a white line was drawn with chalk in front of the booth of the Battle Café as the battle site.

With the crowd watching, Xiaozhi commanded Frog to fight against a passerby's Greninja.

"Quack Frog, use Lightning Flash!"

The frog's narrowed eyes suddenly opened as fast as lightning, causing everyone to exclaim in amazement.

Zhimi, wearing sunglasses, blended into the crowd and nodded slightly.

As the king of water, he discovered the extraordinary qualities of this frog. It has a strong emotional bond with its trainer.

Shimi only experienced this kind of bond from Alan and Charizard, who came to challenge (and then were defeated).

However, Xiaozhi's command skills need to be improved. He just rushes into the opponent's face without being "artistic" enough, which makes Shimi, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, feel uncomfortable.

Shimi turned around and looked at the other food stalls.

Every tourist has a vote, which can be cast for the business they support, and the business with the highest number of votes will win the 'Most Popular Award'.

At this moment, according to the real-time statistics on the official mobile website, Mr. Lu’s stall, like Zhimi’s, is not yet open for business.

The most popular merchant at the moment is actually from Kanto Deep Gray City, and the stall is called "Xiaogang's Cuisine".

Xiao Gang had a dark complexion, squinted eyes, and wore an apron. Facing the long queue, he said:

"Hello, would you like something to eat?"

"One serving of dark grey rice crackers... then seaweed rice balls, and one serving of special food for Pokémon!"

"no problem."

The team was in good order. Xiaogang, who was supplementing the family income, suddenly looked up and was stunned for a moment.

In front of him was an intimidating man, two meters tall, shirtless, covered in muscles and scars.

The King of Fighters, Xiba! "Angry Bun... is there one?" Xiba said in a deep voice.

"…There are no angry buns among the dark gray specialties."

"Oh... excuse me."

Xiba turned around slowly and suddenly heard someone shouting next to him:

"Freshly baked Angry Buns, authentic Angry Lake specialty meow!"

Instantly, Shiba's eyes lit up and he walked quickly.

Xiao Gang: "...the next guest."

Lurina, who was dressed in casual clothes, glanced at Xiba who was leaving and said, "One serving of milk pudding."

Lurina is a world-renowned model who was invited to the Fashion Week in Miare City and secretly came to visit the food festival.

Like Caidou, Lurina is very interested in desserts, but she strictly controls her figure.

This dark-skinned beauty is extremely popular all over the world.

Not inferior to the "shining beauty" Xiao Juer and the "movie star" Nazi...

** The first event of the food festival is the big eater competition.

"I am honored to introduce to you the top four contestants, the extremely popular beautiful girl, Ami!!"

Ami was wearing a swaying white dress and orange braids. She looked gentle and lovely. She placed her slender hands on the hem of her skirt and waved shyly.

"Ms. Ami——!!"

In an instant, the fans' enthusiastic shouts rang out from the stands.

"Ami's partner is her Steelix!"

Boom! !

The sky was blocked out and dust was raised. The audience looked up at the grinning Steelix, stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers.

"The second contestant is Xiao Qian from Manjin City in Johto. She calls herself a beautiful girl. Her partner is Milk Tank!"

Xiao Qian was furious and bared her teeth, "I'm not calling myself that, I'm a super popular beautiful girl!!"

Lu Ye was slightly stunned.

I always think that Big Milk Can is more recognizable than Xiao Qian...

In other words, when talking about Xiao Qian, one can think of the big milk tank...

The host continued:

"The third contestant is Satoshi and his Snorlax - the fourth contestant is Shinji and his Boskodora!"

Xiaozhi's eyes burned as he said, "Shinji, let's fight it out!"

"I'm not interested."

Shinji put one hand in his pocket and said calmly, "It just happened that we were in Miare City, and Boskodora really wanted to participate."

Boskodora has an amazing appetite, but it is far inferior to Snorlax.

In the past, Shinji would never have been interested in such a 'boring' competition.

But as Mr. Lu said…the little things in daily life are the key to cultivating bonds.

Lu Ye and Sirona were sitting in the audience.

"Shinji actually participates in this kind of competition." Lu Ye was surprised.

"Maybe it's a change in mentality." Sirona said with a smile.

Lu Ye looked towards the stage.

Xiaozhi ate heartily, casting wary glances at Shinji from time to time.

Shinji chewed slowly, his desire to win no longer as strong as before. Seeing Boskodora's joy at eating his favorite dish, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Xiaozhi - come on!" Yurika cheered with Dodomo on her head.

"Come on!" Serena also cheered.

"The competition has entered a white-hot stage!" The host shouted, "Milky Way and Aggron are in a dilemma. Only Steelix and Snorlax are left to compete!"

"Xiaogang——"

Ami wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully with a handkerchief, and her gentle eyes gradually became sharper as she waited for the food to be served.

"One hundred thousand horsepower!"

"It appears! Ami's Steelix, go full throttle and destroy the giant pudding with all your might!!"

The commentator and the audience cheered at the same time.

"Kirby..."

Xiaozhi's Snorlax was gradually becoming sleepy, and after finishing a pot of pomelo fruit, he yawned.

Soon after, Snorlax rubbed his belly and fell asleep on the ground under the focus of thousands of spectators.

"Sako's contestant's Snorlax fell asleep!" the host said in shock.

"Snorlax~Zzz" Snorlax was sleeping very soundly.

Lu Ye said, "Fat otaku Snorlax, yawning sleepy pomelo, leftovers!"

Sirona was surprised and asked, "What?"

Lu Ye: "Pokémon Chuan Liu."

I, Lu, am the favorite student of the "famous szechuanliu master" Oki Yukinari! (Wrong) Ami won the game in the end.

Shinji took back the Boskodora and walked away. Xiaozhi stared at his back, wondering what he was thinking.

In the afternoon, the second event, the delicious juice selection, was officially held.

The tourists were shocked to find that Mr. Lu's stall was up! For a moment, the stall was surrounded by people.

It was the first time for Tian Wu Ni and Shuang Milk Fairy to see such a scene, and they hid behind Lu Ye in fear.

“It’s just a small scene.”

Lu Ye calmly peeled the fruit: "I'll make you a miracle juice!"

[Miracle Juice] is the signature product of the juice shop. It can upgrade Pokémon by 5 levels in the game, and its effect is more powerful than exotic sweets.

In reality, this juice is diluted, retaining only the taste, and can be drunk by both humans and Pokémon.

The petals of the sweet dance plant were dripping with juice. It held the small plate and handed it to Lu Ye.

For a moment, rich fragrance spread everywhere, and Tian Wu Ni seemed a little shy under Lu Ye's gaze.

A drop of Sweet Dancer juice can be made into a very sweet drink even after being diluted a hundred times, and is very popular in the Alola region.

Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh.

Tian Wu Ni and Shuang Nai Xian can produce ingredients by themselves, which is the best helper for the chef! The raw materials are a Luo Mei fruit and a Mi Zhi fruit, both of which are relatively precious tree fruits.

Using the technique of mixing cocktails, Lu Ye picked up the shaker and shook it skillfully and steadily.

In the crowd, the C-rank Pokémon Sommelier Cabernet Sauvignon stared at Lu Ye's actions and was slightly surprised.

My skills are no match for his...

Teacher Lu can be rated as a B-level or even A-level sommelier.

[Miracle Juice] is ready, shimmering in the cocktail glass and exuding the fragrance of tree fruits.

Cabernet swallowed his saliva, and just happened to be at the front of the line, so he stepped forward and said, "Can I...try a glass?"

"Of course." Lu Ye said.

Cabernet Sauvignon picked up the cocktail glass tremblingly, pursed his dry lips, and moved close to the rim of the glass.

Suddenly, Cabernet's eyes widened.

The fruity aroma and sweet and sour taste are just right, and the ice cubes add an extra taste...

Even the work of an A-level sommelier can hardly compare to this masterpiece! "It tastes very wonderful."

Cabernet Sauvignon let out a sigh of relief, and when he saw Lu Ye and Geng Gui beside him, he praised:

"The bond between you and Gengar is as miraculous as this perfectly matched juice!"

Pokémon sommeliers will identify the relationship between trainers and their partners. Xiaozhi and Pikachu were once rated as "the best and most suitable" by the sommelier Tiantong.

Teacher Lu thanked her politely, and in order to help Tian Wuni fulfill her wish, he started making juices of different flavors again...

Sunset.

The evaluation results of the official website's "Delicious Juice" project are officially released.

Tian Wu Ni trembled, holding the phone and not daring to look at it, and handed it back to the store manager: "Ni Fu~"

Manager, can you help me take a look...

Lu Ye pretended to clear his throat, clicked on the official website, and said, "Second place, Meow Meow booth, representative work: Tangerine Juice."

The trio often sells fruit juice and has a lot of experience in making tree juice.

"The first place is——"

Tian Wu Ni held her breath.

"...Who is it?" Lu Ye asked, "Frost Milk Fairy, who do you think it is?"

Frosty Milk Fairy:)Д(!

Don't keep us in suspense, Manager!

"Well, the first place is Colorful Cafe, and their masterpiece is Miracle Juice."

Sweet Dancer was startled at first, then looked at Frost Milk Fairy, and then happily spun around on the spot, with her two petals flying.

"Nifu~(*≧▽≦)"

Great, the store manager and I won the championship together!

Frost Milk Fairy was happy for Tian Wu Ni, her crystal red eyes flickered, and she made a secret decision.

"Eehee..."

I also want to make the best cake that can be recognized by everyone!

Night falls.

The most grand event of the day, the cooking competition, took place in the brightly lit Prism Tower.

Chefs from each league competed in pairs to select ten contestants to receive the honorary title of "Chef Carlos".

Shimi already held the title, but shockingly, he's back in this tournament again!

Joining him is the league champion, Mr. Lu, who is known as the "Champion Chef"!

"Karunai's main job is a movie queen, Mikoli's main job is a coordinator, and Mr. Lu's main job is a chef... It makes perfect sense!"

"Food is the most important thing for people. Feel the fear of being ruled by Donghuang cuisine!"

"Teacher Lu is the God of Cookery!!"

Lu Ye's opponent in the first round is a famous Galar chef named Pino, who specializes in curry and mushroom soup.

The audience's attention is focused on the center of the venue. Directly in front is the food selection area, with cooking tables on both sides.

On the sidelines, there were three judges, namely Pakila wearing fiery red sunglasses, the highly respected Mr. Fu, and the owner of Miare City, Xitron.

Lu Ye: “…”

Even the judges are our own people... Is that really okay?

"Let's get started."

Fire King Pakira crossed his arms.

Like Carlos' trainer, Pakira also has her own main job.

Her main job is a news anchor...

In terms of the ingredients, Pino, being a famous chef in Galar, chose Baja premium canned food, coarsely ground sausage, and super flour.

In the end, Pino made a spicy and delicious curry rice that was worthy of being rated as a 'Charizard'!

Shimi had already defeated her opponent, and her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the curry rice being served on the table in front of the camera.

Charizard level... is the highest grade curry rice level.

Even Zhimi was not 100% confident that the production would be successful.

Shimi looked at Lu Ye's cooking table again and let out a light exclamation.

"Strange... is it the same curry dish..."

The three judges scooped a spoonful of Pino's curry dish, savored it carefully, and showed expressions of admiration.

Mr. Fu smiled and said, "Delicious ingredients paired with spicy curry sauce is a well-deserved golden combination!"

Pino looked at Lu Ye proudly.

Mr. Lu, even though you are a champion-level trainer, in the area of ​​cooking, you still have to leave it to professionals.

"Mr. Lu has finished cooking." The host said, "He also chose Pino's best curry dish."

Pino was startled and looked at the golden curry rice on the cooking table. The tempting spicy smell filled the air and the audience swallowed their saliva.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Pino's forehead.

He vaguely saw the heat forming a soaring flamingo, and the fragrance was like a flamingo bathing in golden flames, filling his nose!

As they passed each other, calm words floated into Pino's ears.

"Charizard-level... I'm no longer that."

Spicy berries create a complex and varied taste.

Teacher Lu named it the Flamebird Grade! The three judges stared at the golden curry rice and stretched out their spoons tremblingly.

It was as if a volcano appeared in front of Xitron's eyes. Rich and delicious curry soup erupted from the top of the volcano. A flamingo flapped its wings and flew out with a cry! Beep——

The judges' votes were displayed on the big screen.

"Three to zero! With an overwhelming advantage, Mr. Lu advances to the next round!" the host said in shock.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

Many people came with the intention of watching a good show.

I never thought that Teacher Lu is really a chef.

He even defeated the famous chef of Galar and is expected to challenge the honorary title of 'Chef Carlos'!

After a short intermission.

Everyone looked up at the groups on the big screen and were all stunned.

A showdown between Mr. Lu and King Zhimi begins.

The winner will advance to the top ten and be awarded an honorary title! Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Shimi and Lu Ye walked to the center of the venue and shook hands.

"Teacher Lu."

Zhimi's eyes were sharp: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Me too." Lu Ye's eyes were stern.

A food war with the chef king, Shimi! "Begin!" Fu Ye announced.

The ingredients are either brought by yourself or selected on site.

"From the perspective of the choice of ingredients, King Shimi chose his best seafood dish!"

The host said, "Here, Mr. Lu...he chose a piece of tofu. Is he going to make a Donghuang-style dish?"

From Lu Ye's cooking method, Shimi quickly determined what dish Lu Ye had prepared.

Zhimi's eyes narrowed.

He wanted to challenge Carlos-style seafood cooking by combining the Donghuang style with spicy flavor!

Nonsense... The strong spicy taste may bring pain and stimulation to the diners, but what makes the guests linger on the taste is the umami taste!

Beside him, his partner Octopus Bucket was silently washing the ingredients.

Shimi prepared a unique ingredient, which was the ink from the octopus barrel.

Many diners cannot accept this unique taste, but a small dose of ink can better bring out the umami flavor in seafood dishes!

Zhimi became more confident of winning and looked towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye and Cong Youbing work together to process the ingredients in an orderly manner.

"He plans to use green onion leaves as flavoring?" Zhimi frowned slightly.

The green onions in Onion Duck are a favorite delicacy of countless diners, and they can also produce a wonderful chemical reaction with tofu...

Smelling the spicy smell in the air, Zhimi raised his eyebrows.

However, even the 'Flamingo-level' spiciness has no chance against my Shimi's seafood dishes!

The timer on the big screen shows the passage of time.

Lurina sat among the audience and pursed her lips.

She was intrigued by Shimi’s seafood dishes…but she also loved the Donghuang style dishes.

I am looking forward to what kind of masterpiece these two will serve!

Time resets to zero.

Lu Ye and Zhi Mi completed the last step of cooking at the same time! Zhi Mi, wearing a white chef's robe, looked at Lu Ye inquiringly.

Lu Ye smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to make a "please go first" gesture.

Zhimi nodded slightly, straightened his back, and walked towards the judges' seat with a bowl of dish.

The octopus barrel used two tentacles to press against the cup and plate, while the rest of its tentacles moved on the ground.

When the lid was unveiled, the audience held their breath.

“Seafood Bisque with Waterside Herbs.”

Shimi said calmly, "Please judge."

Pakila had tasted Shimi's cooking several times before. She sniffed the aroma and said with a smile, "You seem to feel a sense of crisis, Shimi."

"Whether it's Pokémon battles or cooking, it needs to be done to the level of art."

Shimi said calmly: "This is just my personal code of conduct."

Pakila shrugged slightly, picked up the silver spoon, scooped up the rich soup, and put it to her red lips.

After closing her eyes and savoring the food for a long time, Pakila sighed, "It's hard to imagine... how desperate it would be to not be able to taste the food you cooked."

"In addition to the scent of vanilla by the water, I seem to taste another scent..." Uncle Fu said lightly.

Shimi raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "It's my partner, Octopus Bucket's Ink."

The audience was talking about it.

“The ink brings out the umami flavor of the dish even better. It’s a very creative work.”

Xitron nodded seriously: "I think it tastes very good!"

All three judges gave extremely high praise.

Everyone looked at Teacher Lu's back with regret.

No matter how excellent the food is, it will be useless in front of the "legendary chef" Shimi.

at the same time.

Lu Ye and Cong Youbing brought three dishes to the judging table.

He slowly lifted the lid of the cup, and the audience stared with wide eyes.

The aroma filled the nostrils of the audience and judges, and the hot air in front of their eyes formed a golden light.

This dish - it glows!!

Under Zhimi's incredulous gaze.

Lu Ye said:

"My best area is not spicy food..."

Lu Ye's eyes narrowed: "It's the fruit of the tree!"

Shimi was startled.

Fruits are so all-encompassing that it is difficult for any chef to claim that they specialize in 'fruits'.

However, Zhimi looked at Mr. Lu's cooking and swallowed his saliva.

The ray of light just now was made up of three kinds of golden tree fruits, including golden cranberries!

"Magic Mapo Tofu."

Lu Ye said: "Please use it."

Pakila, Fu Ye and Xitron looked at each other.

Having made up his mind, Pachila, with cold sweat on his forehead, tremblingly scooped a spoonful of tofu soaked in red soup.

Reaching to her red lips, Pakila took a sip of the soup at the corner of her mouth, and a warm current surged in her chest.

It tastes spicy, but it doesn't cause any irritation when you take it, and there is no stress response in the stomach or intestines.

The taste combines the spicy, fragrant, hot and numb taste of Mapo Tofu, mixed with the crispy and numbing taste.

Thunder fruit! Pakila suddenly woke up.

As Lu Ye said, he used the fruit to give it a spicy flavor, while also stimulating the deliciousness of Mapo Tofu.

It was as if he fell on a piece of soft tofu, and was bounced up by the elastic tofu. Spices and fruits from all directions flew towards him. A huge figure, Lu Ye, held the handle of the pot, cooking the tofu, fruits and himself together! "Ah..." Pakila let out a sigh, his eyes under the red sunglasses were misty, his face was slightly red, and he came to his senses and said, "It is worthy of the name of magic!"

"In that case...let's vote." Mr. Fu said with emotion.

"Yeah!" Xitron nodded vigorously with red juice on his lips.

beep--

The audience looked stunned, then burst into enthusiastic applause.

Shimi's pupils contracted.

The big screen showed a score of [2:1]. He actually lost! The legendary chef lost to the champion chef!

As per tradition, Lu Ye handed Shimi a spoon and asked him to taste it himself.

"No need... I have to go back and study cooking, and try to reach your level as soon as possible." Zhimi declined.

Lu Ye:? Why don’t you play by the rules?

Half an hour later.

Lu Ye, Kojiro and Xiao Gang advanced to the top ten and were awarded the honorary title of "Chef Carlos".

"I didn't expect that the ridiculously strong Shimi would be eliminated by you."

Kojiro breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately I didn't meet him!"

"Huh... After getting the award, I can give Jiro an explanation when I go back." Xiaogang said.

Lu Ye glanced at the duck holding the trophy beside him, stroked its head, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality!"

"Ga! ()σ" The onion soldiers didn't dare to move at all.

There are cooks everywhere here, it's too dangerous~ Let me go home~!

Happy National Day everyone!
