After the dinner, in the hallway of Totsuki Palace.
With a ding, the elevator door opened. Dojima Gin, who had just sent Luo Shu back to the suite, immediately saw Nakiri Senzaemon standing at the elevator entrance in the lobby on the first floor.
Seeing this, Dojima Gin nodded slightly and said:
"teacher."
"Gin, what's the situation?" asked Nakiri Senzaemon calmly.
"The person has been sent back to his room to rest. During the process, Minister Luo asked about some of the supporting facilities in the palace, and I answered all of them."
After saying this, Dojima Gin breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I was really surprised to hear that the Black Death of SDS is such a young man.~"
"Don't judge a person by appearance, Gin." Nakiri Senzaemon warned Dojima Gin: "When you arrive at the research department of SDS, you should treat yourself as an apprentice when you first entered the school. You should be respectful to everyone, regardless of their status."
"After all, the people in that circle are different from those in our circle of chefs. Whether they are children or the elderly, they can all be extremely terrifying."
“So, next time, you must be careful.”
Hearing this, Dojima Gin's lips moved a little, then nodded:
"But, teacher, is it really okay to be tied to SDS like this?"
Hearing this, Nakiri Senzaemon also sighed:
"How would I know this is a bad thing? But whether it's Souei or Mangi, they are too deeply involved with this organization. Even if I want to bet on others, I have to consider their opinions. Instead of doing this, it's better to surrender to them."
After saying that, Nakiri Senzaemon turned to Dojima Gin and asked:
"Do you think Minister Luo will like Erina or Alice?"
Hearing this, Dojima Gin looked at Nakiri Senzaemon with a strange look.
Seeing this, Nakiri Senzaemon laughed and scolded: "What are you looking at, old man, my granddaughter, isn't she old enough to get married?"
"Besides, this is the first time I've seen Erina smile so happily in front of a strange man..."
"You have a result, right?" Dojima Gin said strangely. He said Erina was smiling happily, and asked him who was the right one? You still need to ask?
At this time, Nakiri Senzaemon frowned and said:
"It's too early for Erina to come into contact with those ingredients."
After hearing this, Dojima Gin also understood Nakiri Senzaemon's concerns: "The tongue of God?"
"Managi-kun..." Dojima Gin thought of his former junior.
After the Tongue of God went berserk, he almost suffered from severe anorexia. He could only eat food prepared by top chefs, and the dishes had to be of different styles.
But who among the top chefs has the time to study cooking for one person every day?
The top chefs at the Totsuki Group have almost been drained away by Nakiri Managi.
It was because of this that Nakiri Masaki traveled to America, came into contact with SDS, and became a researcher there.
There is no other reason, the ingredients on the mysterious side are far superior to ordinary ingredients in all aspects, and can better satisfy the taste buds of the God's Tongue.
Of course, the prerequisite is to be able to effectively clear the harmful substances in the blood, flesh, and plant essences. Otherwise, eating those things would be like swallowing poison.
With the previous experience of Nakiri Managi as a lesson, the mysterious ingredients are probably the last resort in the eyes of the chef.
Unless Erina Nakiri also develops anorexia, her teacher will not allow her to have contact with it.
"So, teacher, you are interested in Alice?"
"Yes." Nakiri Senzaemon did not hide anything in front of his disciple: "Alice's talent is indeed inferior to Erina's. In addition, she does not have the influence of the Divine Tongue. If she is exposed to the cuisine there in advance, she may be able to make further progress."
Hearing this, Dojima Gin also gave a reason:
"Ms. Alice's specialty, molecular cuisine, is also more suitable there."
The so-called molecular cuisine is a culinary art that explains all cooking techniques and results using scientific methods and precisely controls them with numbers.
To some extent, this is very similar to scientific research, which coincides with SDS's various biological studies.
With such talent, Alice Nakiri is indeed more suitable to participate than Erina Nakiri.
Nakiri Senzaemon and Dojima Gin looked at each other and agreed to choose Alice.
Then, there are other details:
"Teacher, normally the research department has a maximum of 8 people."
After Dojima Gin said this, Nakiri Senzaemon immediately understood that there were probably only six favors.
"The girl from the Xinhu family is good at medicinal food, so she can be considered one. The girl from the Hu family is a key partner of Yuanyue. As for the rest, Yin, you can consider it yourself."
Hearing this, Dojima Gin's eyes immediately showed gratitude.
It's not that he didn't know who Nakiri Senzaemon was talking about and what he meant.
Among the subordinate families of the Nakiri family, the Toji family has served for generations, so the Nakiri family will naturally give benefits if there are any. And as the Toji family is the family that has recently come to seek refuge, it is natural that they will appease them.
Add in Alice Nakiri from the main family and Dojima Gin himself, that’s 4 spots in total, exactly half.
As for the rest, it is to help Dojima Gin cultivate his own network of contacts.
To be honest, this sincerity is very high. After all, the cooperation opportunity was obtained by Nakiri Senzaemon in exchange for 45% of his own profits, and in the end half of the training quota was given to Dojima Gin.
With such great efforts in training, Dojima Gin naturally recognized this friendship.
. .. ...
It's not that Nakiri Senzaemon is unaware of the ins and outs of this, but after all, Dojima Gin is his last disciple.
Compared to the unorthodox Nakiri Soe and Nakiri Managi, Dojima Gin is the one who truly inherited all his culinary skills.
His children are nothing more than blood relatives, but Gin Dojima is the continuation of his spirit and skills.
In view of this, although it was not favorable for Totsuki's development, Nakiri Senzaemon still made such an absolute decision.
"Teacher..." Dojima Gin hesitated.
However, Nakiri Senzaemon went up and patted Dojima Gin on the shoulder and sighed:
"Work hard, Yin. Perhaps you can find a way to improve as a chef over there."
Hearing this, Dojima Gin clenched his palms and said seriously:
“I will work towards that direction.”
Nakiri Senzaemon patted Dojima Gin on the shoulder and asked:
"By the way, where are Alice and Erina now?"
Dojima Gin thought for a moment and replied, "They seem to be accompanying the eldest lady of the Fujiwara family."
"The eldest lady of the Fujiwara family...very good, very good." Nakiri Senzaemon seemed to think of the days when he fought in the club with the old man of the Fujiwara family in the past, and couldn't help but reveal a 'nostalgic' smile.
Seeing this scene nearby, Dojima Gin muttered: "Why does the teacher's smile look so vulgar? Is it an illusion?"
-
Totsuki Palace, another elevator entrance on the first floor.
Wearing yukatas and holding washbasins, Nakiri Erina, Nakiri Alice, and Fujiwara Toyomi walked out of the elevator together.
Chapter 329 So-called Abuse of Rights
The corridor in the lobby on the first floor.
Erina Nakiri, Toyomi Fujiwara, and Alice Nakiri walked out of the elevator one after another.
"I never expected that grandpa would give away nearly half of his shares in one go."
After walking out of the elevator, Alice Nakiri muttered something, and then asked Erina Nakiri with a curious look on her face:
"Erina, what exactly is that so-called new ingredient?"
Nakiri Erina was also curious. After all, it was an opportunity that even Dojima Gin, one of the top chefs in her heart, took very seriously.
Unfortunately, Nakiri Senzaemon didn't tell her anything, so when faced with Nakiri Alice's question, she could only reply:
"That's not something you should know."
"Eh? Erina, you don't know either?" Nakiri Alice said in shock, "Are you kidding me?"
Fujiwara Toyomi on the side blinked when he heard this. Did Nakiri Erina just say "Doesn't she know?"
Isn't it 'not something you should know?'
How did Alice Nakiri come to this conclusion?
At this time, Alice Nakiri raised her chin with curiosity and thought:
"Come to think of it, Dad is also developing some new food ingredients, but he didn't tell me. I always feel like these adults are deliberately hiding it from us."
Hearing this, Fujiwara Toyomi understood instantly, and then said with a smile:
“Maybe they all have their own concerns.”
"What? You're saying 'I actually know something'." Nakiri Alice turned around and stared at Fujiwara Toyomi and asked, "Does Sister Toyomi know anything?"
After saying that, Nakiri Alice immediately came over and shook Fujiwara Toyomi's hand and said:
"Hey, can you tell me?"
"Unfortunately, this is a secret that cannot be told. Only Mr. Nakiri can explain it to you himself."
After saying that, Fujiwara Toyotomi added: "If Luo Shujun is willing to explain, it is actually possible."
"That Minister Luo..."
Alice Nakiri hesitated and recalled her impression of Luo Shu, then muttered:
“I always feel that his smile looks fake.”
Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri immediately responded: "Alice, don't judge a person based on your personal impression."
"Eh?" Upon hearing that, Alice Nakiri stood there in a daze, not moving forward.
Seeing this, Fujiwara Toyomi and Nakiri Erina, who were still moving forward, stopped and turned to look at her.
"What's wrong with you?" Erina Nakiri wondered. Was what she just said very harsh?
At this time, Nakiri Alice came running over and said with a teasing look on her face:
"Hey, hey, this is the first time I see you, Erina, defending someone, and it's a boy."
Nakiri Erina blushed and retorted:
"What do you mean by that? Is it wrong for me to defend the strategic partners of the Nakiri family?"
"I didn't say you were wrong. I just said that this is the first time I saw you defend a boy, Erina, and he's your age."
"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you always be like this..."
When Alice Nakiri said this, she pinched her throat and imitated Erina Nakiri's accent:
"I have no interest in such common people's affairs!!"
Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri was immediately ashamed and angry, and said angrily:
"How can I speak in such a tone!!"
"But Erina, when you're angry, you always use this tone!"
Alice Nakiri stroked her cheek and said in a natural manner:
"I've recorded it a few times before, do you want to listen to it?"
"You're still recording?" Nakiri Erina was stunned and quickly reached out to grab the basin in front of Nakiri Alice: "Give me your phone, delete everything, delete everything quickly."
"No, I won't give it to you. Besides, aren't you invading my privacy?" Nakiri Alice quickly took the phone from the basin, avoiding Erina's clutches, and said angrily.
"It was obviously you who secretly recorded it first!" Erina Nakiri was furious.
"I didn't record it secretly. I kept my phone in my hand the whole time." Nakiri Alice protested.
"Okay, so you're secretly recording it in front of me, give me your phone now!"
Watching the two people quarreling, Fujiwara Toyotomi stroked his cheek and said with an auntie smile:
"You two have such a great relationship!!"
