It's late at night at half past ten.

In the temple courtyard, the shadows of trees sway and the lanterns light up, illuminating the front and back of the house. No one would have thought that there would be a wonderful gathering here before.

When Natsuyu, Takei Shinji, and Hasero Ichiro returned to Chiyo Shrine, they all received gift boxes given by Chiyo witches themselves.

"You are all qualified."

The Chiyo witch said this, and she glanced at the youngest Xia Yu in her mind, and turned around and left.

"qualified!"

Xia Yu was exhausted and sat on the stone bench, and he was about to collapse.

Dojima Gin has sent Tasoe, Morita Maki and others back to the hotel, and will be sent back to the campus in Tokyo tomorrow morning. Today's celebration of Chiyo Shrine has also made several young chefs with extraordinary talent realize that there is a wider world of food besides the Totsuki.

"Congratulations!"

"Happy together!"

Takei Shinji and Hasegawa congratulated each other, and then the two walked towards Natsuyu at the same time and stretched out their hands friendly.

Xia Yu was stunned and shook hands with the two of them.

This is a kind of etiquette of treating each other with its own meaning.

"If Chef Xia has time, you can come to my 'Hase Wine House' to sit." Hase Ichiro smiled, his words and deeds were just like his temperament, like a monk, very light.

But Shinji Takei is different. He is a successful businessman with great courage and controls a huge food group. He stares at Xia Yu without hiding his appreciation and heat in his eyes. He smiles and says, "Chef Xia, are you interested in coming to our Takei Club? I can give you the position of deputy chef, and the salary will be as you say, and you will get a certain amount of shares in Takei Club..."

"Taoi Club" is not a small fish and shrimp in the neon food industry. Now that Shinji Takei has passed the Chiyo assessment, he can return to Tokyo and formally submit a special assessment application to the IGO agency.

When Takei Shinji becomes a special chef, the "Taoi Club" will truly be qualified to attack the "Imperial Four".

Nowadays, the "Taoi Club" is the most powerful among the "Fouri Club".

But Xia Yu just shook his head.

"Mr. Takei, thank you for your kindness." Xia Yu politely refused, "I am still a high school student, so it is not convenient to hold an important position in your company. Moreover, I have my own small shop to take care of."

"You can contact me anytime!"

“My igo online id is…”

Takei Shinji and Natsuyu exchanged IgO online friends with each other.

"Add me too!"

Hasegawa Ichiro came over too.

Therefore, Xia Yu's ilo friend column has two more certified chef friends.

Under the names and avatars of the two are nine shining stars.

And Xia Yu's own only has two stars.

"Two-star chef?" Takei Shinji was shocked and took his phone and refreshed it several times, but Xia Yu's personal information was still the same. He could only look at Ryoko Lina, who was standing next to him silently.

"This, this..."

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Two-star chef?" Hasea Ichiro could not hide his surprise.

Seeing this, Xia Yu quickly left, otherwise he would have to explain it in a long way. Anyway, the Chiyo Shrine assessment has been passed, no matter what others think, he is now a veritable "quasi-" special chef!

Back to the house on the mountain.

As soon as I pushed the door open and entered the house, I saw the cat lying on the window, staring at him with big eyes dripping.

This little thing came with him. For several days, he was quite well-behaved, without running around or causing trouble. When Xia Yu practiced cooking, he lay quietly beside him and watched.

Bang!

Put the gift box on the table and Xia Yu held his chin.

Ryoko Lina followed in, Xia Yu looked up at her and asked, "The box should be a clue of 'fantasy ingredients'?"

"You can see it yourself." Ryoko Lina said softly.

Hearing this, he did not hesitate, removed the lock and lifted the ancient box lid.

A hand-drawn map.

A dragon-shaped jade Ruyi.

The forehead is full of question marks, what do you mean by this!

Xia Yu first expanded the hand-drawn map. This was painted with a brush, and the handwriting on the paper was just dry.

Islands and hills are what the map wants to describe.

"Hokkaido?"

Suddenly, Xia Yu pointed to the map and moved to a point marked by a red pen. This location is probably in the northeastern area of ​​Hokkaido.

“Asakura City, Izumo Shrine…”

Murmuring out the marked Chinese characters.

I vaguely felt a little familiar. Izumo Shrine, could it be that shrine?

Ryoko Lina glanced at it and said, "This comes from the cloud, not the other comes from the cloud."

"Just relying on such a simple map to find fantasy ingredients?" Xia Yu felt it was very unreliable.

"If you can accurately locate, what do you need to do with the 'food hunter'?" Ryoko Lina said indifferently, "The map is just a guide. You regard fantasy ingredients as treasures. This map is a treasure map. In a sense, the 'food hunter' is also a bounty hunter."

"How is that..."

Xia Yu felt it was quite difficult.

I followed the map to search. Even if I had good luck, it would take at least a month. He was a student and had to take care of the shop. It was impossible to stuff a few pieces of clothes into his backpack, so he took his backpack and went out for a long trip.

"You can also entrust it." Ryoko Lina said, "I can help you contact reliable mercenaries."

"Let's take a look first."

Xia Yu folded the map and picked up Yu Ruyi from the box.

Yu Ruyi was about one foot long, and it was quite heavy when she started. Xia Yu grabbed it with one hand and stroked it with the other hand. She felt that she was touching the silk brocade, delicate and smooth, and a hint of coolness followed her fingertips, as if from her arms to her whole body.

At the top of the jade handle is a flying dragon, lifelike.

Ryoko Lina took the initiative to explain: "This is a blessing given to the chef by the shrine..."

"Is it just a talisman-like prop?"

Xia Yu said strangely: "Why is Yu Ruyi? Miss Liangzi, what does your amulet look like?"

Hearing this, Ryoko Lina hesitated for a moment, unbuttoned the top button on the shirt, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, and slowly took out a crescent-shaped pendant tied with a thin red rope.

It's also jade.

But the weight of the jade Ruyi in Xia Yu's hand is very terrifying.

"Collection well!"

Ryoko Lina solemnly said: "This is also a proof of the identity of a 'quasi-' special chef, an identity token. If you encounter a real chef in the dark world in the future, you will know the function of this kind of amulet."

Xia Yu nodded.

Some things are hard to say.

He knew that there were some filthy things in this world. Although some chefs would have difficulty encountering that kind of thing throughout their lives, they would have improved their level and they would not be sure to deal with those things frequently in the future.

When looking at Yu Ruyi, Xia Yu did not notice that the cat had escaped to the corner of the house, and its hair was blown up, its small body was arched high, and the amber eyes were vigilantly staring at Yu Ruyi.

No words all night.

The next day.

Xia Yu sat in Ryoko Lina's sports car, and the shrine gift box was placed flat on her knees, while the cat hugged in the car door and refused to approach him no matter what.

"System, establish an analysis task for 'Yu Ruyi'..." he said in his heart.

"The task was created successfully, and the expected analysis time is 365 days and 22:00..."
Chapter completed!
