Food: I was a cartoonist in Totsuki

"The focus of this assessment is not to ask the former late-night cook about his taste preferences, but the theme of 'The Last Supper.'"

While talking, Tong Yu never took his eyes away from Tokiyama Hyogoro.

"I know what to do, Tong Yu-kun, let's go choose the ingredients together." Ryoko Sakaki said happily.

"Have you thought about what to cook? Okay, let's go see what ingredients are available."

Tong Yu directly skipped the time of asking Tokiyama Hyogoro about his preferences and went to the refrigerated truck to select ingredients.

……

At this time, several chefs who got some news from Tokiyama Hyogoro were secretly rejoicing.

That's right.

In other words, this trial is about improvising dishes that match the guests' preferences on the spot.Hum hum, this is testing the depth of our knowledge.

The taste of my hometown where I was born and raised can truly be called a dish with a theme of "The Last Supper", which is very tricky for overseas chefs and late-night chefs.

This is definitely a great benefit for those of us who were born in Japan.

With this series of excitement and joy, several table chefs began to rush to the truck to select ingredients.

About 15 minutes later, the No. 1 contestant’s chef completed the cooking and served it to Tokiyama Hyogoro.

"It's done, please try it!"

This young chef makes udon noodles.

Udon noodles, also known as Japanese noodles in Japan, are one of the most Japanese noodles in the area. Together with Japanese buckwheat noodles and green tea noodles, they are also known as the three major noodles in Japan. They are an indispensable protagonist in Japanese restaurants.

Its texture is somewhere between cut noodles and rice noodles, with a soft texture. When paired with carefully prepared soup, it becomes a delicious noodle dish.

It is white, thick (4 mm to 6 mm in diameter) noodles made by mixing salt and water into flour.

Add hot soup in winter and cool it in summer.Cold udon noodles can be eaten with a thick sauce called noodle sauce.

The most classic Japanese udon recipe is inseparable from beef and stock. The noodles are smooth and soft, and the miso soup is rich.

You can taste a variety of different flavors by combining different seasonings, soups, and seasonings.Sometimes, wakame seaweed, vegetable tempura, and green onions are also added to the noodles.

In Japan, udon is a very common food that is suitable for all ages, whether eating at home or out.

The idea of ​​​​this chef is also very simple... Just now Hyogoro Tokiyama said that he likes to eat Japanese food, and udon is his favorite, so he directly made this dish.

Tokiyama Hyogoro looked at the udon in front of him, but was unmoved.

"This is the 'special miso boiled udon' I made. It is a special miso udon that maximizes the flavor of seasonal ingredients..."

The first chef who finished cooking said to Tokiyama Hyogoro, with a hint of confidence on his face.evil

He felt that this dish would definitely conquer Tokiyama Hyogoro's taste buds.

In order to adapt to the taste of the elderly, the udon noodles are specially cooked for a longer period of time to make them easier to eat.

All the side dishes are also chopped more finely than usual, which is also easier to chew.

However, when the chef mistook Tokiyama Hyogoro as an ordinary old man, it meant his failure.

Staring at the udon noodles in the big bowl in front of him, Tokiyama Hyogoro didn't taste it, but directly threw a piece of paper with the word "unqualified" written on it at the face of the superficial chef.

"Go away, you're not qualified!"

The chef was so confused that he didn't know what went wrong. He didn't even take a bite and was immediately judged to be unqualified?

The next few table chefs all came up with dishes similar to udon noodles, completely treating the former late-night cook as an ordinary old man.

The dishes produced are all melt-in-your-mouth, non-greasy dishes, but the result is exactly the opposite.

A piece of paper with "unqualified" written on it was thrown into the face of one chef after another.

"If you fail, you can get out of here, next one!"

"Unqualified!"

"You are also unqualified!"

The food of more than ten chefs in a row was substandard. They didn't know what went wrong.

"How...how could this happen? It is judged as unqualified even without eating. This is ridiculous!"

"What does that old man really want? He won't deliberately make things difficult for us just because he was the late-night cook!"

............

"I think it's like this..."

While several table chefs were discussing this, a late-night cook delivered the prepared dishes to Tokiyama Hyogoro.

After taking a bite, Tokiyama Hyogoro declared the cook qualified without hesitation.

This made a group of chefs dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.

After that, several late-night cooks submitted their dishes, which were approved in one go.

"This... what's going on here!"

"The late-night chefs...are all passing the test one after another?"

The other chefs couldn't understand and didn't know what the reason was.

Tong Yu, who was in front of the cooking table, saw this scene and couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

"The biggest difference between 'dark' and 'table' is the experience of cooking for different diners... The diners that table chefs come into contact with are all customers who live a normal life. But people who cook late at night are different. They will often Received some relatively special commissions, such as cooking a meal before death for a man who failed to organize and was facing execution, or cooking a meal for prisoners in prison before they died..."

The person in front of me now is a former late-night cook and a special eater. This group of late-night cooks can pass easily because they know what Tokiyama Hyogoro wants.

In other words, as late-night cooks, they know what tastes best.

Chapter 303 Silky Chicken with Rice

After a while, several late-night cooks passed the assessment and passed the first gate to the second gate.A group of chefs couldn't help but become anxious when they saw this, not knowing what was going on. .

"I thought it was all like this... I didn't expect that there are calm guys among the chefs."

Suddenly, a voice came from beside Tong Yu and Sakaki Ryoko.

The two of them looked back and saw a late-night cook with a "broomstick" hairstyle dyed in colorful colors coming in front of them.

In addition to the broomstick hair style, she also wears exaggerated earrings on her forehead. Coupled with these trousers and tights, she looks like a killer outfit.

"Are you talking to us?" Tong Yu looked at Sha Matt and asked.

"Yeah, why didn't you go up and ask questions just now? Maybe you can find out what the other person likes." The late-night cook with the broom head said.

Tong Yu smiled softly: "Why do you have to go up and ask, does this have anything to do with the cooking I want to make?"

"Ha, it seems that you are really different from other chefs... As for what I want to eat before I die, of course it has to be the taste of my hometown. I also want to eat the food cooked by my mother. Do you feel the same way?" The broom head said with his hands spread out.

"You're right, but as a diner, it's really uncomfortable to have a 'Last Supper' theme."

"Ha, what does it matter? For us late-night cooks, all we have to do is satisfy the diners at all costs. You chefs don't have any advantage in this kind of assessment, so I'll leave first..."

After Shamat said that, he walked up to Tokiyama Hyogoro with the food he had prepared.

"Okay, let's enjoy it, six consecutive rounds of roast beef!"

The head late-night cook placed a plate full of filling beef dishes in front of Tokiyama Hyōgoro.

The firm meat is made from six cuts of beef that are both fat and lean, hence the name of this dish.

"Six parts of the beef are marinated in salt, then wrapped in cabbage and stewed together, and finally seasoned with kimchi. The gravy and fat, the stimulating and smooth sourness, all of this will make the tongue run wild, making it an addictive dish. !”

The broom head spread out his hands and explained to Tokiyama Hyogoro.

There is no doubt that this bold and rude dish is very filling. It is impossible for ordinary old people to finish it, and it is even difficult to eat it.

But if it were the old man in front of him who had participated in various battles and had an extraordinary physique and appetite, there would be no problem at all.

Sure enough, Tokiyama Hyogoro picked up a piece of plump beef with a fork and put it into his mouth.

"Well!"

Swallowing it in one gulp is completely unlike the way a white-haired old man should eat.

Zulu.

Standing aside, you can still hear the chewing sounds coming from Tokiyama Hyogoro's mouth.

Gollum.

Swallowed it without taking another bite.

After a pause for a few seconds, Tokiyama Hyogoro picked up a piece of paper with the word "passed" written on it from beside the wheelchair and handed it to Sweeper Pier.

"You... passed the test!"

After passing the exam, the late-night chef of Shamate put his hands in his trouser pockets and laughed happily.

"Haha, it's really not difficult at all. It's completely easy. Hey, you chefs are looking at me like this, don't you think I'm very powerful and want to ask me for advice? Ah, I won't tell you You guys?"

The broom head had a proud smile on his face. He had just failed to pass the assessment and was marked out as a teacher. He also lowered his head in discomfort.

They were full of confidence just now, but now they have been severely beaten and have lost their confidence to move forward.

Now that I was being irritated by this late-night cook, I felt even more uncomfortable. I felt like I had lost all my face.

Sweeping the dock turned around, ignoring these shameless signs marking the teacher's door, and laughed secretly in his heart.

Hehe, don't blame us.This kind of theme... is a common occurrence for us "dark" chefs.Because we often receive some commissions, such as cooking a meal before death for a man who was executed for failure within the organization.

Or cooking the last dishes for prisoners in prison before they die.It's not because the old man's hometown dishes are wrong, but because you put in the food first because you care too much about the preferences of the diners, so that you serve a "show mercy" dish. The only way to put all your emotions into the food is to All the dead chef can do is try his best to cook delicious food, so that he can taste the satisfaction of "can die in peace".

Hehe, I'm afraid the adults running this competition want these naive guys to be eliminated at the first gate.

"Forget it, I'd better go to the next door quickly..."

Just as the broom-head was about to leave, he saw that Ryoko Sakaki had finished cooking.

Out of curiosity, he took a few steps forward to take a closer look, and found that the dish made by Ryoko Sakaki was actually...barbecued meat, and a layer of sticky natto was spread on the surface of the grilled meat.

"Natto and bulgogi?"
