Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 217: The Collapse of Nito Hisako

Chapter 217: The Collapse of Nito Hisako

"Can you win?"

Hisako looked at Erina with nervous and expectant eyes.

"I'm not sure. After all, I haven't tasted Kurokiba Ryo's cuisine, so I can't use God's Tongue to compare!"

Erina, tell the truth.

"is it?"

Fei Shasha felt a little helpless when he learned that there was no 100% chance of winning the turtle burger.

This morning, her four-thing bitter melon and mutton soup had already been lost to Kurokiba.

Therefore, it would be false to say that there is no pressure.

Seeing her depressed and tense all the time, Erina couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Hisako, winning or losing is not important."

"Anyway...it's just an autumn selection. It's great to win. If you lose, I won't blame you!"

"Ok!"

"I see."

Hearing this, Fei Shasha could only force a smile.

……

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the lights of the izakaya gradually dimmed.

The aroma of wine and barbecue still lingers in the air, as if telling the story of tonight's gathering and farewell.

Because he has to run his own Chunguoting restaurant during the day, Zhang Fan usually asks Mujiuzhi Yuanguo to leave at 12 o'clock.

At this moment, Taki Kadozaki is busy. She is clearing away the dishes on the table and carefully wiping every corner of the table with a rag, bringing a perfect end to this warm "little shop"!

The owner, Zhang Fan, stood in front of the cooking counter, looking at this izakaya that had been in business for more than three months, and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

With the preliminary round over, he thought there would be a lot of Totsuki students coming to the izakaya to spend money tonight.

As a result, I never expected that the time of the quarterfinals was actually different from the original plot, and was directly moved forward to tomorrow morning.

In this case, people like Alice, Hisako, Erina, etc. will definitely not come to the izakaya tonight.

As for Tadokoro Megumi, she has a relatively good mentality and does not attach much importance to her reputation and performance in the autumn selection. After all, it is quite good to break into the quarterfinals with her level.

"Ding dong!"

"Host, successfully signed in once."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations to the host for getting a new special recipe of bouncing turtle soup, 2 fresh turtles!"

"Huh? Today's sign-in reward is actually bouncing turtle soup?"

Zhang Fan was stunned when he learned that the new reward was a special recipe of bouncing turtle soup.

This dish is actually a dish from "The Little Master of China".

Its producer is a friend of Liu Pleiades:

Tang Sanjie.

The method of making it is quite unique, you have to steam the soft-shelled turtle in cantaloupe.

And add salted plums for seasoning, and finally wait until it cools and solidifies into fish jelly.

Well, the biggest feature of this dish is its amazing elasticity. When diners eat it, they can feel that the turtle jelly is very elastic, as if there are countless turtles dancing on the tip of the tongue.

In terms of taste, it is relatively bland, but it is better than many dishes made from soft-shelled turtles.

All in all, the bouncing turtle soup may not be as stunning as the strong chilled sea bream, Sholong dumplings, etc., but it is a classic dish suitable for izakayas!

……

The time is exactly 8 o'clock in the morning.

On both sides of the road, some fragrant flowers look particularly beautiful in the morning light.

They are either in bud or in full bloom. As the breeze blows, the faint floral fragrance spreads into the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The first round of the autumn quarterfinals is about to begin.

"Hey!"

"Good morning, dear viewers!"

"Today we have two games from the quarter-finals and now it's the first leg."

"The participating students from both sides are the third place Hisako Nito from Division A and the second place Ryo Kurokiba. Please come on."

As soon as the female emcee Rei Kawashima finished speaking, the entire competition venue was filled with excitement.

"Miss, I will definitely defeat Kurokiba Ryo."

Nito Hisako, who walked slowly from the lounge and came to the stage, couldn't help but look at Erina Nakiri standing next to the judges' table, her eyes became extremely firm.

At the same time, Ryo Kurokiba appeared in front of the public with dark circles under his eyes and a lazy and leisurely attitude.

Seeing the two people appear on the stage, Kawashima Rei did not dare to neglect and directly announced the start of the cooking competition.

In the first round of the quarter-finals, the cooking topic for both teams is burgers, and they can use everything prepared in advance on the stage, or use the ingredients they bring. In short, there are no restrictions on the ingredients.

Then, the cooking time is 1 hour, which is quite tight.

At this time, Nito Feishako was clutching a turtle tightly.

"Wow!"

"Look, it's actually a turtle!"

"And it's still a living turtle. She...what does she want to do?"

"The title of the competition is burgers, so does it need something like turtle?"

"She picked up the kitchen knife."

"Wait, does she want to..."

When the lively turtle appeared, many people in the audience focused their attention on Fei Shasha.

Nito Hisako, however, did not care at all about the reaction of the melon-eating crowd in the audience. She tightened her gaze and directly turned the turtle over so that its back was on the ground and its belly was in the sky.

Then, wait until the soft-shell turtle stretches its neck to its longest length.

One knife fell!

……

"interesting."

"No wonder, Miss Alice often tells me to be careful about this secretary."

With the corner of his eye, he glanced at Nito Hisako, who was handling the turtle, and Kurokiba Ryo across from him couldn't help but let out a lazy breath.

Then, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and tied a scarf with a flame icon on his forehead.

"Now, let's start my stage performance!"

After saying this, Kurokiba Ryo suddenly turned into another person, with a very irritable temper.

At this time, he finally no longer exuded a lazy temperament, but was like a ferocious beast, exuding particularly dangerous signals.

Da Da Da~

Da Da Da~

He took some vannamei shrimp and processed them with a kitchen knife.

The sound produced by the rapid collision between the kitchen knife and the chopping board is undoubtedly like the howling of a wild animal.

It is shaking all the audiences every moment!

……

Knife skills.

To a certain extent, it all depends on brute force.

However, if you take a closer look, you can see that Liang is handling shrimps with a kitchen knife. Although he looks like he is domineering and brute force, there is a sense of delicacy that is different from ordinary people in his roughness.

It seems random and arrogant, but every cut is made very accurately!

"Cool!"

"This...this knife skill is unrivaled."

"His rough yet delicate knife skills are really shocking."

"Perhaps, there will be very few students in the entire Yueyue who can reach his level."

The melon-eaters present couldn't help but sigh.

shrimp!

deal with it.

Just fry it.

In a hot oil environment of 200 degrees Celsius, the stirring on the surface of the ingredients will become calm, and green smoke will rise and rush upward.

So, wait until the shrimps inside are baked until golden brown, then quickly remove them to control the oil. Add another piece of lettuce, squeeze some salad dressing on it, and sandwich it with a hamburger bun.

"Okay, my precious Seven Shrimp Burger is now complete."

Finally, Kurokiba Ryo couldn't help but say with satisfaction with a sinister smile on his face.

"I'm fine too!" At the same time, Feishao here also finished the turtle burger.

……

Both sides finished cooking the burgers almost at the same time.

This was beyond Rei Kawashima's expectations, so she quickly came back on stage and announced that she had entered the cooking review stage.

And when she announced the list of judges for this competition, the audience was shocked again, because they were:

Nakiri Senzaemon.

Nakiri Leonora.

Jingpu Jiu Shang.

"Be good!"

"Am I not dazzled?"

"Even the commander-in-chief showed up, as well as the current director of the Shokugeki Administration Bureau, Kageura Hisao."

"Wow, who is that beautiful woman?"

"She looks very similar to Miss Alice. I heard that Alice's mother is the current director of the Nakiri International Research Department."

"Huh? It can't be her, right?"

Amidst the sounds of surprise and confusion, Nakiri Senzaemon and the other three came to the judging table and sat down, and began to enter the judging process.

……

Thick steak that melts in your mouth.

The moment you bite into it, you can feel the delicious taste of the soft-shelled turtle emerging.

The sauce thickened with turtle stock tightly wraps the steak, bringing out the mellow taste.

The delicious taste of the thick steak and soft-shelled turtle makes the whole body feel very hot, and the temperature is getting higher and higher, like sitting on the crater of a volcano and baking!

With a "hiss" sound, the commander-in-chief immediately activated his clothes to burst.

"Great!"

"As expected."

"The commander-in-chief only took one bite and his clothes immediately exploded."

Seeing this, Fei Shasha clenched his fists, his bright eyes seemed a bit excited.

After all, the commander-in-chief's busty clothes mean that her turtle burger cuisine has been approved by the commander-in-chief and others.

Afterwards, the commander-in-chief and others continued to taste Kurokiba Ryo’s most precious seven-shrimp burger!

What I saw in front of me was the delicacy Seven Shrimp Burger. The appearance, materials used, production methods, etc. were all very ordinary, and there was nothing that made people shine.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary burger on the market.

There is almost no difference, and there is not much shock and visual impact.

However, with just one bite, the exquisite South American white shrimps and nutritious surimi were carefully blended, and the taste and texture of the combination immediately surprised the commander-in-chief and others.

"This...this...is unexpectedly delicious!"

The next moment, the commander-in-chief was undressed again.

……

"I see."

"It is when baking at high temperatures that pockets are formed inside the bread."

"Finally, fill it with shrimp and lettuce."

"If I remember correctly, this is bread commonly eaten in the Middle East, right?"

Next to her, Leonora Nakiri, who also had a taste, lowered her head as if she had some realization, and couldn't help but smile.

"Ok!"

"As expected of the judge."

"More worthy of being Miss Alice's mother."

"My Seven-Delicate Shrimp Burger looks ordinary, but it actually uses a special yogurt sauce. This sauce can remove the fishy smell of shrimp meat."

"As for the buns, shrimp meat, sauces and Indian pickles, I carefully prepare them."

"The spicy aroma of mustard oil can bring out the deliciousness of the burger embryo. Simply put, it is using your outstanding sense of smell to create the fragrance of pickles."

Kurokiba Ryo said calmly.

……

At this moment, listening to Kurokiba Ryo's words.

Leonora Nakiri thought for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.

"How...how could it be?"

"Your cooking is so strong?"

Seeing the commander-in-chief showing off his clothes again, Nito Hisako was shocked.

Her face gradually turned pale, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back. She had a very bad premonition in her heart, that is:

Her turtle burger might lose.

Sure enough, after a review of the dishes from both parties, the results finally came out.

1:2

Kurokiba Ryo won Hiisako with one more vote.

This means that as the most loyal secretary around Erina Nakiri, she can only stop in the top eight in this way!

……

"Isn't it?"

"Hisako, who has followed Erina for many years, actually lost?"

"It's terrible, it's really terrible. That Kurokiba Ryo looked sickly when he first appeared, but I never thought he could be so powerful."

"Ugh!"

"It's so cruel."

“Feisha’s turtle burger is not bad either!”

For a time, the whole place was in heated discussion again.

"Yeah! That's great. I really didn't expect Ryo Kurokiba to be so good at defeating Hisako."

Looking at the score of the competition on the screen, Alice in the audience excitedly ran to the judges' seat and came to her mother's side.

Erina, the tenth seat of the Ten Elites who is responsible for the entire competition operation, has naturally watched the entire process of the competition.

Obviously, she also underestimated Kurokiba Ryo's strength.

"Hey, Alice."

"This is the judging seat. Can you, an unrelated person, go to the auditorium?"

In the end, she could only look at Alice angrily and shouted.

"No, I don't want to. You can tell at a glance that you are so angry because Fei Shasha lost the game!" Alice said proudly.

"I don't want to quarrel with you on this matter. Now I ask you to leave here immediately."

"Mom, look, Erina just wants to drive me away."

Unexpectedly, Alice hugged her mother Leonora's arm very wisely and said coquettishly.

"Erina, isn't this game over?"

"Don't be so petty and let her stay with me for the time being!"

Leonora clapped her little hand, glared at her first, warning her not to act nonsense in public, and then turned to Erina with a smile.

"You mother and daughter are really unreasonable."
