Gourmet Style Beast Taming - Chapter 351: Intentions

Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Intentions

If offering a dish more popular than the chosen restaurant’s signature dish counts as one requirement, then “seafood” is clearly another requirement.

As a Spirit Chef born and raised in Mingjing Province, Shen Qian is no stranger to cooking seafood.

This is good news.

Thinking about this, Shen Qian nodded slightly, “Alright, no problem.”

“With this token, you can choose to work in any restaurant on the sixth floor. They will not refuse.” Gao Yichen handed Shen Qian a wooden token inscribed with the symbol of the Tower of Food. “Assisting in my examination is one of the duties of the restaurants in the Tower of Food.”

“So that’s how it is.” Adequately understanding now, Shen Qian carefully stored the wooden token. “May I ask, Mr. Gao, how much preparation time do I have?”

“You have one week at most, I want to see the results,” Gao Yichen slowly declared, “Subtracting the three days for the placement, you only have four days.”

“I’ll do my best!” Shen Qian earnestly nodded.

Even though the preparation time was more limited than the last time, this examination doesn’t impose a lot of restrictions on the dishes. As long as she chooses something suitable from her specialty in seafood, many times of practice would be sufficient.

Gao Yichen nodded, shifting his gaze to Zhou Tianhao who was eagerly waiting, “Now, let’s discuss your examination content.”

“Yes!” Zhou Tianhao immediately straightened his back.

“Don’t be nervous.” Gao Yichen laughed, “Your examination content is not the same as Shen Qian’s.”

“You need to choose three restaurants from the Tower of Food and challenge their head chefs to a Food Fight and win all of them,” Gao Yichen’s gaze grew stern, “Remember, you need to win all of them. It’s not acceptable to lose even one.”

“This…” Zhou Tianhao, who had previously straightened his back, now looked slightly taken aback.

He had been ready to accept an examination similar to Shen Qian’s, and he didn’t expect his own examination to be more exceptional.

Challenging the head chefs of three restaurants in the Tower of Food and achieving complete victories?

Zhou Tianhao pondered for a moment, and his face lit up with surprise.

He suddenly realized that compared to Shen Qian’s exam, his own seemed a bit simpler!

Because Mr. Gao Yichen didn’t specify which floor he should choose from, which means he could choose a restaurant from the first floor of the Tower of Food, where the ratings are at the bottom, for the exam.

With that, the difficulty would naturally lower significantly.

But it doesn’t mean this would be easy.

Since he was the one challenging the three head chefs, according to the rules of the Food Fight, the other party will decide the project.

The opponent would definitely choose something they’re good at.

Therefore, to win, he must do a series of preliminary investigations, understand the skill points of each restaurant’s head chef, and choose a contest where he has an advantage.

Apart from that, after determining the Food Fight category, the specific rules of the category still depend on the draw, which further increases the uncertainty of the Food Fight.

If he wants to successfully win three Food Fights, his only method would be to master more types of dishes and expand his recipe pool.

Coming to this realization, Zhou Tianhao wore a contemplative look.

He thinks he might have figured out why Mr. Gao Yichen set different examination requirements for them.

Unlike Shen Qian who already had four Second-Level Food Recommender Badges and excelled in several areas of cooking, he was previously a player on the training path, only recently switching to the cooking path. He doesn’t have much experience in Food Fights and lacks a variety of dishes.

Gao Yichen’s examination was like a disguised hint for him.

Understanding the idea behind this, Zhou Tianhao’s gaze towards Gao Yichen held a bit more respect. “I’ve got it!”

“This is your token. Holding it, no restaurant’s head chef in the Tower of Food would refuse your Food Fight.” Gao Yichen smiled, bringing out another wooden token, slightly different from the one in Shen Qian’s hand, and handed it to Zhou Tianhao.

“How long do I have for this challenge?” Zhou Tianhao asked, as he took the token and placed it in his pocket.

“Due to the unique nature of the examination, your time will be a little more generous, but only slightly,” Gao Yichen began calmly. “You have ten days.” “Within ten days, challenge three head chefs and achieve total victories.” So, ten days…

Zhou Tianhao began planning in his mind.

With one day to understand the opponent’s situation and the remaining nine days for the Food Fight, each round of Food Fight has three days of preparation time.

By calculating that way, the preparation time seemed quite plenty.

“Alright, you guys can go prepare. I look forward to hearing your good news.” Gao Yichen waved at them, indicating they could leave.

Shen Qian and Zhou Tianhao glanced at each other. They didn’t linger further and took their leave from Gao Yichen’s examination room.

Stepping out of the room, Shen Qian turned to Zhou Tianhao, “Before we start the examination, shall we first see how Qin Lang is doing with his Qualification Battle?”

“Good idea.” Zhou Tianhao nodding, “This opportunity can also help us learn about some restaurants, since our examination content involves the Tower of Food.”

With a mutual agreement, they quickly took the elevator from the seventh floor down to the first floor.

“So, both your exams have such specific requirements?” Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂/p/ters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏(.)c/𝒐/m

Having heard their Food Recommender examination content, Qin Lang replied with a look of bewilderment.

In Tianhua State, he had also been through three different Second-Level Food Recommender examinations but none of them were this peculiar.

It seems such an examination must be among the few within the array of Second-Level Food Recommender examinations.

“Yes.” Shen Qian sighed, “From now on, you can rest, and the two of us will be busy.”

“Just investigating the situation of the Tower of Food’s restaurants is a huge task,” She couldn’t help but complain, “They say there are more than three hundred restaurants here!”

“Regarding the information on the restaurants in Tower of Food, perhaps, I could help you out.” Su Henian, who was standing by, suddenly offered, “Previously, our Breeze Restaurant had done a lot of research on the restaurants in the Tower of Food while we were choosing our opponent.” “Really? Can we borrow it?” Shen Qian’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

If there’s already available information, she can spare more time to prepare dishes.

“We can borrow such information?” Zhou Tianhao asked, equally excited. Comparing to Shen Qian, he needed this information more. After all, he must choose from all the restaurants in the Tower of Food, whereas Shen Qian only had to pick one from the sixth floor.

“Of course, you’re friends of Qin Lang, so you’re my friends, too.” Su Henian replied with a smile, “This little favor is no issue.”

“Uncle Su, thankyou.” Hearing this, Qin Lang felt grateful knowing that Su Henian was willing to help because of him.

“No problem!” Su Henian waved his hand and was about to say something more when the sound of an electric bell echoed from the Qualification Battle stage.

“Ding ”

The previously quiet stage suddenly came to life with the sound of the electric bell.

On the other side of the stage, the kitchen door of the head chef Bai He from Jiuhe Restaurant slowly opened.
