Japan's annual food festival officially opens in three days. This year's food festival has added a "cooking competition" mechanism, causing countless culinary experts to flock to Tokyo.
In Mu Fan's opinion, this kind of food festival competition is equivalent to what Honoka calls LOVE LIVE.
Because only one chef can win the competition, this year's food festival will be more lively than in previous years.
All the strong cooks who signed up here want to show off their skills in this cooking competition and become stars in the cooking world.
Thinking back to the map where the cooking competition was held before, I saw that the cooking competition was held in Tokyo. Surprisingly, it was not far from Totsuki Culinary Academy, where the legendary geniuses gathered.
Could it be that most of them are students from Totsuki Academy
I don’t know if the legendary Yuanyue Ten Heroes will appear.
But for Asuna's swimsuit, no matter whether you are one of the top ten outstanding young people, Mu Fan has to defeat you and win the first place in the cooking competition of this food festival.
Swimwear is something as sacrosanct as the New World.
The last time I had this kind of mentality was when Mu Fan was drawing swimsuits in FGO. He was eager to draw the swimsuit stupid king. Unfortunately, in that world, FGO's bow-level stupid king was shipwrecked.
But in this world, there is a system, and she will see Asuna's swimsuit no matter what.
Although Sagiri can occasionally talk to him bravely these days, she doesn't know if Sagiri will be willing to travel with him once she wins first place.
hope so... ..
In response, Mu Fan could only sigh and ride the bicycle he borrowed from Ying Lili quickly toward his destination.
The reason why he chose to ride a bicycle to the venue instead of taking the tram was because registration for the food festival cooking competition closed today, and many famous chefs from all over the world chose to come today.
Even in Tokyo, which doesn't have much traffic jams, almost all cars are stuck on the roads today, and the trains are probably extremely crowded.
Mu Fan, who was riding a bicycle, smiled when he saw the impassable road.
No matter how famous or luxurious your car is, it can't beat the speed of a bicycle like mine
Swooping down the downhill road, the summer breeze blew Mu Fan's face and hair, making him suddenly full of energy.
Mu Fan laughed.
In my life, I can row a boat without an oar, and I can sail without wind, because my whole life depends on waves!
... .
Although he passed countless luxury cars and arrived at the registration office of the food festival first with excitement and excitement, Mu Fan was confused as soon as he arrived.
It seems that it is a bit too much...
MD Aqua, because she went out today, she changed into new clothes in the morning and then washed Sagiri's underwear. However, her wallet was left on the table and she forgot to take it out when she left.
Well, it's all Miku's fault. I blame her for not reminding me.
Mu Fan was speechless for a while, but fortunately, today was a registration for the food festival cooking competition, so there should be no problem if he didn't bring any money.
There is a traffic jam today, and Asuna, the eldest lady who picks her up and drops her off, should come later. Then Mu Fan, who was about to send a message to Asuna, was also stunned because his wallet and cell phone were both placed on the table together and he forgot to bring them.
"Forget it, go and register first, and then just wait at the registration office for Asuna to come."
Looking at the majestic high-rise building in front of him, which was almost the same size as UTX College, Mu Fan couldn't help but secretly marvel at the grandeur of this cooking competition.
He quickly locked the bicycle in front of the door and came to a relatively small room on the side of the building.
He thought he had arrived very early, but when he arrived at the house, Mu Fan realized that the number of chefs who signed up this time was too huge.
There were all kinds of people gathered here. The younger ones looked like they were high school students like him, and the older ones even had gray hair and wrinkles on their faces and were in their seventies or eighties.
Of course, the two types of people that make Mu Fan fear the most are the young and the old.
Because Totsuki Academy is a high school, high school students should not be underestimated. For example, Kasumi Shiko and Senju Muramasa, the best-selling people in light novels, according to Kagurazaka Iris, are both high school students.
High school students in this world are terrible.
As for why adults are not scary
Ahem, you all know—
They all went to shoot...
As for old men in their 70s and 80s who can still participate in cooking competitions, they are probably some reclusive old chefs, so you have to be careful when you think about it.
And middle-aged people...
If you think about it carefully, you need to be careful. They are probably the top ten graduates of Totsuki Academy, and now they are old...
MMP, it’s really scary to think about a food festival like this, it’s incomparable.
The city is full of traps, is it too late for me to go home now
... ...
After waiting for more than an hour, just when Mu Fan was about to fall asleep, it was finally his turn.
"Sign up for the food festival cooking competition?"
Mu Fan walked to the window and the staff asked without raising his head.
"Um."
Mu Fan nodded.
"Fill it in!"
The staff was very cheerful and didn't ask too many questions. They pushed out a piece of A4 paper from the window with several required options on it.
Probably the necessary questions such as name, age, ID number, address, email address, etc.
Mu Fan filled in each one skillfully.
After taking a look at the registration form, the staff member nodded with satisfaction, and then extended his hand to Mu Fan in his expectant eyes: "The information is ready, the registration fee is 50,000 yen!"
"ha?"
Mu Fan was stunned. He didn't expect that registration would cost money.
But, forget about asking for money—
It still costs 50,000 yen.
"Fifty thousand yen? Isn't that too much?"
Mu Fan couldn't help but frown and asked.
Although his gourmet food department makes a lot of profit in a day, Mu Fan also understands that 50,000 yen is equivalent to a month's salary for some people.
"Sir, there is nothing we can do. We charge according to regulations. This is not a children's play house."
Although the staff's words sounded polite, they actually sounded harsh.
From what Mu Fan heard, he probably couldn't even afford 50,000 yen, and he still wanted to participate in the food festival. The kids should go home and play.
"I really want to sign up for the cooking competition."
After being looked down upon for forgetting to bring money, Mu Fan couldn't help but said speechlessly.
"How about your cooking skills?"
"Probably equivalent to the Ten Heroes of Yuanyue."
After a moment of silence, Mu Fan told the truth.
Although he didn't know the approximate strength of the top ten outstanding chefs in Yuanyue, Mu Fan felt that he would not be weaker than them after reaching the fifth level.
"ha?"
Hearing this, everyone in the room exclaimed in surprise. Even the staff stood up, looked at Mu Fan with wide eyes, and asked, "Then do you have a certificate issued by Totsuki Academy?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Mu Fan.
"No." Mu Fan shook his head.
"you... .."
The staff rolled their eyes, this time completely treating Mu Fan as a mentally ill person. He pointed to the building opposite and said:
"Sir, in order to avoid many chefs who hide their skills and don't like to show off their skills and don't have the money to participate, we have a place where you can evaluate your cooking skills. As long as your cooking can get a B grade or above, you can register for free if you come here with the certificate. "
After saying that, the staff waved to the back, and those who signed up immediately crowded forward and squeezed Mu Fan out of the queue.
... ..
Mu Fan had no choice but to go to the cooking appraisal building opposite. After all, it took two hours to ride home. Naturally, he didn't want to go back unless necessary.
To Mu Fan's surprise, many people came to the appraisal building.
After waiting in line for another hour, Mu Fan's group finally arrived. Mu Fan glanced at it and saw that there were about thirty people in this group, and each of them had found a cooking table where they could make food.
It's normal for the chef's cooking levels to be appraised together. After all, it's too slow for one person to appraise them once.
"Culinary appraisal?"
Of course, before that, you still have to go to the window and fill out a form.
As soon as I came to the window, the staff asked me without raising my head just like the registration staff last time.
"Um."
Mu Fan nodded.
"Did you bring any ingredients?" the staff asked calmly.
"No."
After a moment of silence, the staff stretched out his hand: "Ingredient consumption fee, 10,000 yen."
Mu Fan: "My day!"
