Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 211 The Last Place

The world is always changing.

Every ingredient is commonplace.

You can combine it with unique utensils to create a beautiful and beautiful look!

“Any taste, perception, experience.”

"It can't be described in any words, any beautiful language."

"This is a dish that is beyond our understanding, and no matter how hard we try, we still can't get a glimpse of its connotation and its essence."

As the queen of curry, I cannot make the most correct judgment on this curry dish. Thinking about it, it is quite sad and painful.

Afterwards, Qian Tao Xia Ya could only say lightly: "Let me tell you some of my feelings now. This dish definitely uses spices. However, I don't know in what form it will be expressed."

"But no matter what, in my eyes, this is definitely a revolutionary work that ushered in a new era of cuisine."

Wow!

As soon as these words came out, the whole place became even more sensational.

After all, lofty comments such as "a revolutionary work in the new era" would not normally come from the mouth of the Curry Queen.

……

"Let me explain it to you."

"The green sauce here is actually a spice that adds flavor, coriander seeds."

Hearing such praise, Alice was naturally very happy.

"You mean, these little green dots are coriander seeds?"

Qian Tao Xia Ya on the judging panel acted as if she had never seen the world.

"Yes, and the bottom cube is actually a mousse made from crushed foie gras powder and turmeric that was quickly frozen."

"The white object covering the chicken in the middle is mashed potatoes made with eight kinds of cheese and potatoes. They have been crushed into nano-level particles before, so the taste is very silky and delicate!"

"what?"

"Na...nanometer level particles?"

Hearing this, Qian Tu Xia Ya couldn't help but take a breath of air.

It's just the preliminary round now, but there are still the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, the finals, etc., so why is it so important?

"What you mean is that it essentially uses the difference in temperature and destroys the internal molecular structure of the ingredients to reassemble them into new dishes?"

After thinking about it, she asked curiously again.

"Yes, the so-called molecular cuisine."

“It’s not about describing the taste of food accurately, it’s more about grasping how things feel at a specific time.”

"In short, we pay more attention to appearance and novelty. As for the taste..."

"Of course, I learned a lot about it during the time I went to the izakaya."

"Let's just talk about it. This low-temperature molecular curry chicken dish does use a lot of strange ways of thinking, but it also contains many connotations of traditional cuisine."

The insiders watch the door, the outsiders watch the excitement. After hearing these words, the Senwa sisters and Kita Shuji on the judges' bench couldn't help but look at each other, and then they both nodded.

"good."

"This is really delicious food."

"With spices as the main axis, the food texture and temperature can be freely changed to make it shine."

“This dish is truly a perfect creation that revolutionizes the food industry!”

So, as the three judges made their final decision, Alice’s cooking score finally came out:

94 points!

……

Even though it was already known.

This magical dish will have high results.

But when the scores came out, everyone was still shocked, especially the crowd in the audience became even more excited.

Among the 30 contestants in Division B, 28 have not scored above 90 points.

However, who would have thought that Alice would become a blockbuster and score 94 points!

"hiss!"

"Am I not dazzled?"

"This...this score is actually 94 points?"

"As expected of Miss Alice, in my opinion, among all the first-year students today, she is definitely second only to Miss Erina,"

"It's amazing. In last year's qualifiers, I remember that the highest score in the two major divisions AB was only 92 points."

"Is it possible that Miss Alice's score of 94 is the highest in history?"

"No, the highest score in the history of qualifying is 96 points scored by Gin Dojima."

"96 points?"

"It's so scary!"

In an instant, the whole place was in heated discussion again.

With an astonishing score of 94 points, Nakiri Alice successfully replaced Takemi and temporarily won the first place in Division B!

……

Every step of molecular gastronomy must be done with great care.

Because the operator's tiny mistakes may affect the quality of the entire dish, and even involve "life safety."

Therefore, after seeing the super expressions of being amazed by the finished product, the judges such as Senwa sisters and Kita Shuji seemed to understand the real reason why the molecular chef was so focused.

Sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, salty...

No matter what the taste of the ingredients is, with gentle movements and deft hands, it turns into something incomprehensible!

What you eat is not what you see, from vision to taste, it is always full of two words:

Surprise!

How can people not like such a dish?

……

"Where's the next contestant?"

"When the food is ready, serve it quickly. Don't keep the judges waiting."

It took a long time for Rei Kawashima to regain her composure, but finally she simply came on stage and spoke.

"Eh~"

"The preliminary round is not over yet?"

"It seems that there is indeed one missing. I remember it was... the crane Oda Yosuke?"

Afterwards, amidst the din of surprise and confusion, Ecai Tadokoro arrived belatedly, carrying a casserole that made a "gurgling" sound, and headed to the judging table.

"Judges, this is my cooking creation, anglerfish curry hot pot. Please take your time and taste it."

Putting down the casserole, Tadokoro took a step back and said politely.

"Oh?"

"It was extremely cold food just now."

"Now it's served, but it's an extremely hot dish that's the opposite?"

When he could still feel the astonishing heat brought by the scalding soup in the pot, Qian Tao Zhie couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

……

Unknowingly.

The preliminary round is coming to an end.

At the beginning, she was full of disdain and contempt for the cooking and performance of this group of Yueyue students.

But as the judging process progressed, she became more and more full of expectations.

perhaps.

I underestimated these Yuanyue students.

Their love and understanding of cooking far exceeded expectations.

"Very good, then let me see, what will this last curry dish be like?"

After thinking about it, Qianhe Zhihui tightened his eyes and reached out to lift the lid of the casserole.

And from the moment the lid of the casserole is lifted, it means that Tian Sohui's dish will finally be completely exposed to everyone.

……

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

White smoke.

Like a bomb that had been suppressed for a long time, it suddenly exploded in all directions.

Afterwards, all I could see was the white soup base bubbling with gurgling heat, and the anglerfish meat on the surface vibrating up and down with the heat.

At the same time, the fresh fungi floating above and some vegetables unique to Neon Country form a beautiful scenery.

The aroma of the entire hot pot dish was constantly permeating the entire competition venue.

So much so that Sentata Ori Eshi almost drooled!

"Generally speaking, angler fish is used as sashimi without much processing." "In the end, you used it to make curry hot pot dishes."

After glancing at it, Qianhe Zhie said calmly.

……

Having worked in the food industry for many years, she could see the characteristics of this dish at a glance.

However, she was shocked when she thought that the angler fish meat came from this delicate and frail Toyue student.

Among the many types of hot pot, this anglerfish curry hot pot is undoubtedly unique and delicious.

The soup base in the pot was always boiling, and the rich aroma of curry and sweet anglerfish gradually spread throughout the competition area.

Different from regular curry.

It is also different from other fish hotpots.

Tanokoroe's cuisine seems to have a mysterious power that can penetrate people's sense of smell and reach deep into the soul.

As time passed, the complex flavor in the pot did not slowly dissipate, but became more intense, making the three judges salivate.

……

As the protagonist of hot pot.

The tender meat of anglerfish is of course indispensable.

When the fish fillets are lightly rinsed in the hot curry soup base, the delicate texture and rich flavor are immediately revealed.

Immediately afterwards, he blew a few mouthfuls of air-conditioning, then put the fish into his mouth and took a bite.

exquisite!

Q bomb!

The rich curry soup base adds a hint of deep flavor.

The continuous blending of flavors makes every bite full of layers and surprises.

In addition to anglerfish, other ingredients in hot pot:

Chrysanthemum pumpkin.

Tachikawa Burdock.

Red tendon radish.

Tender tofu.

Fragrant sausages...

Each ingredient exudes its own unique flavor under the influence of the curry soup base.

These seasonal vegetables brought from Tadokoroe's hometown, when eaten together with the anglerfish, the diverse taste is even more amazing.

Sometimes it’s the crispness of the vegetables that complements the delicateness of the fish.

Sometimes, the fragrance of tofu collides with the spiciness of curry.

Any kind of food.

They are all working hard to realize their own value!

Just like the chef Tadokoro who made this dish, although it may be inconspicuous, it contains huge energy after all.

……

"Yes, the focus is actually on the fish liver."

“Take the liver just removed from the anglerfish, flatten it with a spatula, and dissolve it until it turns orange, then make a paste.”

"Put in enough angler fillets and vegetables, then add hot pot condiments and stew together."

"Then the liver will gradually dissolve."

"During this process, add miso and cooking wine to make the soup base."

"In this way, the taste of the entire hot pot dish can be improved to a new level, with rich and delicious characteristics."

"Uuuuuuu..."

"What exactly is going on?"

"I feel like my body is so hot, and a warmth is about to flow out!"

"It's so warm!"

"I...I'm dying."

The three judges who were originally not optimistic about Tian Suohui all fell into trouble at this moment.

In the end, under everyone's gaze, Tian Sohui's score quickly appeared on the screen:

89 points.

……

this score.

It is 1 point higher than both Yuki Yoshino and Ryoko Sakaki, and is tied with Subaru Mimasaku, who also scored 89 points!

In this way, the list of the top four in Division B has finally been determined, which are:

Nakiri Alice.

Takmi Aldini.

Beautiful as Pleiades.

Tian Suohui.

"Yeah, I am indeed number one."

Seeing the list of the top four contestants, Alice jumped up like a spring, ecstatic.

On the stage, Tadokoro Hui fell into a brief state of sluggishness. From the moment the results were announced, her head is still buzzing.

what?

Did I really make it to the semi-finals?

Among the 30 contestants, I defeated 26?

After thinking about it, Tian Suohui stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek.

Feeling the pain, she suddenly woke up, and her lips slightly raised, and her face began to be filled with joy.

……

"Tasoko."

"It's really good of you to successfully squeeze into the top eight with this slight advantage."

At this time, Miyoko Hojo came to her, first patted her shoulder, and then encouraged her.

She was the first contestant to score an astonishing 88 points, which gave her the illusion that she could secure the top four positions. Unexpectedly, she fell to 7th place!

However, thinking about the performance of Alice, Takemi, Mimasaku Subaru, and Tadokoroe, she felt that losing to them was not unfair at all.

Tasokoro:? ? ?

what happened?

Why did she come to talk to me? Do I know her?

Staring at the "Jiraiya" Hojo Miyoko, Tadokoro, who was still in joy, had a face full of doubts.

"Work hard and try to continue to give our girls face in future games."

After saying that, Miyoko Hojo left quietly.

……

People want to succeed.

It is absolutely inseparable from three elements: hard work, talent, and help.

Among these three elements, effort is something everyone has, and is even standard for everyone.

In Totsuki Academy, where the competition is always fierce and the involution is crazy, the common word "hard work" seems to have no value at all.

To a certain extent, the reason why Tadokoro has always been a poor student is not because of her lack of effort.

But she lacks one important thing:

Help!

With limited talent.

If you want to continue to grow in the later stages, you will definitely need the guidance of an expert, such as Yukihira Soma.

Even though he has extraordinary adaptability, the person who shaped his entire personality and ability framework was precisely his father!

It was Jun Shiomi, who has extremely high attainments in the field of spices, who fully unleashed Ryo Hayama's olfactory potential.

Nakiri Erina, not to mention her God's Tongue. Although the God's Tongue comes with it when she is born, it is an innate thing, but it is also inseparable from the "extreme" of the ghost father Nakiri Thistle's later period. educate".

Therefore, Tian Suohui, who has mediocre talent and normal hard work, wants to catch up in the footsteps of this group of people.

To be honest, there is really no hope.

Therefore, if she wants to grow quickly, she can only rely on one source of help.

And this help comes from no one but:

The owner of the izakaya.

Zhang Fan!
