Chapter 408 The Decline of Chinese Cuisine

Chen Anxia told Soma Kohei what happened today. Of course, the martial arts competition was not mentioned, otherwise Soma Kohei would have talked too much.

After listening to Chen Anxia's words, Yukihira Soma became rarely serious. He sat there with his hands folded and frowning, as if thinking about something.

"What's wrong, don't you have confidence in yourself?" Chen Anxia couldn't help but smile and said, "If you don't have confidence in yourself, just ask Uncle Joichiro to come. As for Uncle Joichiro, it's 100% fine."

"No need." Yukihira Soma responded simply.

Yukihira Soma did not blame Chen Anxia for making decisions without permission. Later, Yukihira Soma also expressed his thoughts: "Actually, this is not the first time these people have come. It's just that my father and I sent them away the last few times they came."

"Actually, their target is not just Yukihira Restaurant. As far as I know, several shops around have been acquired. I heard that they also used some shameful means to acquire them."

"An Xia, you did it just right. Let me solve this matter perfectly. Do you want to cook something that satisfies her? I will definitely make it."

Chen Anxia couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw the confident Yukihira Soma and said, "Then let me see how much of Uncle Joichiro's skills you have learned."

After hearing this, Xing Ping Soma looked at Chen Anxia with a look of displeasure and said, "Hey, what's going on with your preaching tone? I'm obviously your senior in cooking, okay..."

Seeing Xing Ping Soma turning on the thought mode, Chen Anxia retreated decisively and ignored Xing Ping Soma. For Chen Anxia who ignored him, Xing Ping Soma, as expected, once again ignited his anger.

During this period, Yukihira Joichiro called back and said that he would not be back in the evening and did not know what to do, but Yukihira Soma closed the store very skillfully.

The night passed without incident. In the morning, Chen Anxia got up early to exercise. This was already a habit Chen Anxia had developed. When Chen Anxia came back, she saw that Yukihira Souma had also gotten up and was making breakfast.

"You actually got up so early? I wanted to call you after breakfast." Xing Ping Soma was very surprised when he saw Chen Anxia coming back from exercise.

"This is my habit. I go to exercise in the morning. Do you want me to come with you tomorrow morning?" Chen Anxia asked while wiping the sweat on his face with a towel and looking at Yukihira Soma.

"No, please don't call me." Xing Ping Soma responded without hesitation.

"Forget it,

I'm going to take a shower and then come down. "Chen Anxia shrugged indifferently and said.

"Oh, go ahead." Yukihira Soma responded without caring.

After Chen Anxia came down from the shower, Xing Ping Soma had already made breakfast and started to eat it himself, because Xing Ping Soma was still a student and would definitely go to school in the morning.

As for Chen Anxia, ​​according to Yukihei Soma's idea, he just stayed in the store and waited for him to come back.

However, Chen Anxia is definitely not a peaceful person. While eating the breakfast prepared by Xing Ping Soma, Chen Anxia asked, "Chuang Zhen, do you know where the best Chinese food is here?"

"Chinese cuisine?" Xing Ping Soma was stunned when he heard this, but soon he remembered the conversation between his father and Chen Anxia yesterday, and he felt relieved.

After frowning slightly and thinking for a while, Yukihira Soma said, "Ikehira Dori on the other side of Ikebukuro seems to be called a Chinese cuisine street. I heard that you can eat authentic Chinese cuisine there, but I have never been there."

"Ikebukuro?" Chen Anxia was stunned when he heard this.

Chen Anxia didn't expect to hear this familiar name here. The original world of Ikebukuro in Chen Anxia was the famous business district and transportation hub in Tokyo, Japan. It seems that the two worlds still have many similarities.

As for Chipingtong Road, Chen Anxia has never heard of it. It is probably a unique place name in this world.

After breakfast, Soma Yukihira went directly to school, while Chen Anxia happily took the money "borrowed" from Soma Yukihira and prepared to go shopping in the so-called Chinese cuisine street.

Speaking of which, Chen Anxia also owns a Chinese restaurant. Chen Anxia wanted to compare the differences between Chinese restaurants in the two worlds.

Because Chen Anxia has lived in Japan for so many years, although they are different Japans, the two Japans are basically similar, so Chen Anxia found this Chinese cuisine street very smoothly.

By the time Chen Anxia came to this so-called Chinese food street, it was already 10 o'clock almost 11 o'clock.

When the car clicked and entered the Chinese food street, Chen Anxia discovered that this was actually a Chinese food street, and not all the shops were Chinese food shops. There were also many Japanese food shops interspersed among them.

It’s just that compared to Japanese restaurants, there are more Chinese restaurants. This is probably the origin of the Chinese restaurant street.

After shopping around, Chen Anxia couldn't help but frown slightly, because Chen Anxia found that most of the Chinese restaurants here were Sichuan cuisine restaurants.

Do Japanese people like to eat Sichuan food? With doubts, Chen Anxia walked into one of the most popular Sichuan cuisine shops.

The name of this Sichuan cuisine shop is written in Chinese, it's called "Sichuan Cuisine", and the background of the shop's sign is a fiery red. At first glance, it seems that you can already imagine the taste inside the shop.

But Chen Anxia didn't know that there was a gaze that had been paying attention to him for a long time. When he saw Chen Anxia walking into the store, the owner of this gaze couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "Why is this guy here?"

As he said that, the owner of this gaze did not hesitate and followed him directly into the store.

At this moment, Chen Anxia has finished ordering a meal, one mapo tofu and one spicy chicken. These are also the two best-selling dishes in this store.

Mapo tofu and spicy chicken can be said to be a very common series of home-cooked dishes in Sichuan cuisine. Basic Sichuan restaurants will have these two dishes.

How to make this common home-cooked dish taste better than home-cooked food depends on the chef's skills. Speaking of which, Chen Anxia is quite looking forward to it.

However, sometimes the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. When the waiter brought these two dishes, after Chen Anxia tasted them, Chen Anxia couldn't eat them after just the first bite.

Indeed, these two dishes are made in line with the general style of Sichuan cuisine, which is numb and spicy, but the numbness and spicyness have basically covered up the original taste of the ingredients, and now they are just eaten purely as spicy and spicy.

Although the dishes in popular restaurants like this are definitely not as good as those made with real care, this cannot be an excuse. I have never seen that Yukihira Restaurant is also a popular restaurant, but every time the dishes are made, the customers are very satisfied.

Now these two dishes can't be compared with the Chinese cuisine made by Chen Anxia's father, Chen Suhai, let alone Yukihei Chuangzhen.

The constant voices of other diners who were dining around made Chen Anxia couldn't help but frown.

"Is this authentic Chinese food? It tastes good, but it's too spicy for me. I still like Japanese food."

“It’s so spicy and spicy. This restaurant fully expresses the essence of Sichuan cuisine, numbness and spiciness. It’s so enjoyable.”

"I heard that the chef of this restaurant is Chinese and is well-known in the Chinese cuisine industry."

“It’s really good. It’s more authentic than many restaurants I’ve eaten at in Sichuan.”

"There are not many popular restaurants that can do this, but compared with Turkish and French cuisine, it feels a bit inferior."

"That's for sure. Turkish cuisine and French cuisine are two world-famous cuisines, but Chinese cuisine can't even compare to Japanese cuisine. Maybe Japanese cuisine can be promoted to the third largest cuisine in the world in the future."

...

For some reason, Chen Anxia felt inexplicably sad after hearing the discussion around her. She didn't expect that Chinese cuisine in this world has declined to the point where it can't even compare to Japanese cuisine.

Just when Chen Anxia frowned, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Do you feel it? This is the current situation of Chinese cuisine today."

Chen Anxia couldn't help but look up after hearing this. When he saw the figure in front of him, he couldn't help but froze. The figure in front of him was a beautiful girl with short purple hair, good looks, and wearing casual clothes.

This girl Chen Anxia knows Miyoko Hojo, the daughter of the chef of Hojo House, a famous Chinese restaurant in Yokohama Chinatown, Japan that has been running for fifty years. She is proficient in Chinese cuisine.

Chen Anxia didn't expect to meet Miyoko Hojo here at all, and what did Miyoko Hojo mean by her words? Why did she feel like she knew herself.

Miyoko Hojo ignored Chen Anxia's doubts, but looked at Chen Anxia and continued, "Chen Anxia, ​​I don't know why Uncle Chen and others have such high expectations for you, but you remember, Chinese cuisine will be reproduced in the hands of Miyoko Hojo brilliant."

Saying that, Miyoko Hojo turned around and left. Chen Anxia also came back to her senses at this time, looked at Miyoko Hojo's leaving back and slowly said, "Although I don't know what you misunderstood, there is one thing you said wrong."

"What?" Miyoko Hojo couldn't help but stop after hearing this, turned around and looked at Chen Anxia with a frown.

When Chen Anxia saw this, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said with an extremely confident look on her face, "Chinese cuisine will regain its glory in my hands."

Hearing this, Miyoko Hojo looked at Chen Anxia and suddenly laughed and said, "You want to recreate the glory of Chinese cuisine. This is really a funny joke."

As she spoke, Miyoko Hojo's expression gradually became serious. She looked at Chen Anxia and said sternly, "You have the ability to say such things. You are not qualified to say such things now. Don't make me laugh again."

After Chen Anxia listened to Miyoko Hojo's words silently, he looked at Miyoko Hojo who was about to turn around and leave, and slowly said, "Then... do you want to taste the food I cooked?"
