Chapter 1189

"Huh..." Hata Chuhide stood up from his seat. After greeting the reporters around him, he came to Nakiri Thistle who was standing behind the camera.

"Teacher, how's my performance?" Hata Zhongying said seriously.

"I'm very happy for your confidence, but I hope you won't be careless. Yang Ming's strength is not weak." Nakiri Thistle reminded.

"Teacher, please don't worry, I still understand performance and reality." Hata Chuying said.

"By the way, this is your Shokugeki opponent this afternoon. I hope you can win the first Shokugeki match." Nakiri Kiku handed a piece of information to Hata Chuhide.

"'First and Cooking Research Society'? Commander-in-Chief Nakiri Alice? Teacher, you are from the Nakiri family. Do I have to be merciful?" Hata Nakaei looked at Nakiri Thistle in confusion.

"Purge! Clear them all - if you want to win against Yang Ming in Diamond Cooking, all the shokuji must win." Although Nakiri Kikuchi was smiling, his eyes were extremely cold.

"Then leave it to me." Hata Zhongying said with a smile.

…

"ah……"

Yang Ming lay weakly on the table, his head buzzing as if it would explode at any time. The whiteboard not far in front of Yang Ming is filled with knowledge points. In order to record these knowledge points, he has already taken half a book of notes. However, Dojima Gin’s requirement is that he must recite them all.

At first, he thought that this time he went to Totsuki Rikyu to help Dojima Gin cook the food in the restaurant and give him some recipes in his free time. It turned out that it was like being in school, and Dojima Gin was teaching about ingredients and Western cuisine.

And all these things need to be memorized, so that Yang Ming's mind is filled with all kinds of ingredients and all kinds of cooking-related knowledge.

According to Dojima Gin's plan, the first week should be about explaining knowledge points, and the second week is about sorting out recipes.

With Dojima Gin as the teacher, even the Totsuki Ten Heroes would not be able to enjoy such treatment.

Just when Yang Ming was thinking wildly, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Gin Dojima entered the room carrying a rectangular box covered by black cloth.

"Chef Dojima..."

Yang Ming immediately sat up straight. The harshness of Paradise Island Silver in recent days was still fresh in Yang Ming's memory.

"Jokusei Residence has been preserved." Gin Dojima's first words after meeting Yang Ming eliminated a knot in Yang Ming's mind.

"Huh...it's okay. Was it Xingping who did it?" Yang Ming asked.

"How do you know?" Dojima Gin asked in surprise.

Yang Ming chuckled twice, "Currently, if Isekei Hui is not included in the Jixing Residence, the person with the best cooking skills is Yukihira Soma."

"However, there is also bad news. Do you want to hear it?" Dojima Gin asked.

"What's the news?" Yang Ming immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The fact that Dojima Gin considered it bad news meant that it was indeed a bit bad.

"A student named Hata Chuei entered Totsuki Academy and defeated Ryo Kurokiba with an absolute advantage of 5:0 in the just-concluded Shokugeki. Ryo Kurokiba was asked to drop out." Dojima Gin explained.

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows. Hata Zhongying entered Totsuki Academy earlier than he thought. Now, even if there is a relatively fair Shokugeki, in front of Hata Zhongying, there is no opponent who can beat him.

Putting the box with the black cloth on the table, Dojima Gin touched the black-framed glasses.

Yang Ming didn't know the purpose of Dojima Gin wearing glasses, but he did become a little more polite.

"By the way, Chef Dojima, I have a question."

Seeing Dojima Gin hanging his coat on the hanger, Yang Ming knew that Dojima Gin was going to teach, but before that, Yang Ming had to clear up the doubts in his heart.

"Well, what's the problem?" Dojima Gin turned around and looked at Yang Ming.

"What you've been teaching me these past few days, apart from the knowledge about ingredients, is also the content of Western food. As for other knowledge, such as Chinese cuisine, why don't you teach me?" Yang Ming asked curiously.

Dojima Gin pushed up the middle frame of his glasses and said, "What you said is very good. In fact, of course I have my purpose for doing this. You know, every Diamond Cooking Asia Competition is held in a different location."

"Hey, isn't it different? I thought they were all in Tokyo?" Yang Ming scratched his head.

"Of course not, it just happened to be in Tokyo this year. It was also held in Yanjing, China before. Because the judges for each Asian competition are local judges from the host country, so whether the contestants advance or not has a lot to do with the judges' preferences. Big relationship." Dojima Gin said in a deep voice.

"The venue this time is Tokyo, but because the national conditions here are very foreign-oriented, most of the judges prefer Western food. In other words, the judges have a preference for Western food." Yang Ming frowned. .

"It's not just a matter of preference. The cuisines of various countries vary greatly, and Eastern cuisine may not be popular in this competition. Even some of China's top chefs have a lower winning rate when competing against Western chefs. It will all be reduced by 50%." Dojima Gin said seriously.

"Is the impact so big?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.

"Actually, according to the real situation, it may be more serious than this. Therefore, Yang Ming, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not use Chinese cuisine. If you use it, you must be determined to win." Dojima Gin warned.

Yang Ming nodded repeatedly.

It has to be said that Yang Ming was shocked by Dojima Gin's words. He had previously considered that Chinese cuisine might not be favored by judges in Tokyo, but he did not expect it to be so popular.

"Actually, based on your current cooking skills, the most suitable location for your competition is not Tokyo, but China. Whether in Tokyo or in South Korea, contestants who are good at cooking their own national cuisine are really amazing. In comparison Next, the Chinese judges may be more favorable to you." Dojima Gin sighed.

Yang Ming smiled bitterly. If he just relied on the judges' preferences, he wouldn't be able to get far anyway, right? The person who can win the championship in the end still depends on his own strength.

"By the way, Chef Dojima, what's inside this black cloth?" Yang Ming asked curiously.

"Uh, actually it's this." Dojima Gin opened the black cloth, revealing a water tank inside. In the water tank, there is a cylindrical fish swimming in the water.

The back of this fish is gray, but the lower part is pure white. With its cylindrical body, it looks extremely cute.

"Pufferfish?" Yang Ming said in surprise.

"Yes, it's puffer fish." Dojima Gin nodded, "Although I took out this fish, I hope that if possible, you'd better not use this ingredient."

Yang Ming nodded seriously. "I know, and to be honest, I don't expect to be able to use it either."
