Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Since none of you are going to go first, then I will go first!"

As Ye Shan said, he placed five soup cups covered with a layer of puff pastry in front of the five judges. The soup cups looked very small, and the "puff pastry" outside looked like small cakes.

"Eh? I saw that you used sea bream head, and thought it was a very rough dish, but it's... so small?" Kosaka said in surprise.

As a seed player before, the ingredients used by Hayama have also attracted everyone's attention. The main ingredient is the head of a sea bream, which is obviously used to cook the curry fish head soup.

"Is it puff pastry soup? And the top layer of puff pastry...seems to be baked naan?" Xiang Tian gently tapped the baked naan covered in front with the back of a spoon.

Puff pastry soup, created by Paul Bocuse, a famous modern French chef, is characterized by using cake-like cakes similar to puff pastry, sealing the mouth of the bowl and then baking it into fluffy puff pastry. Concentrated inside!

"That's right, it's the puff pastry soup with naan. Please use a spoon to press the top puff pastry into the bottom soup and eat it!" Ye Shanliang said, and brought it to Liu Maoxing and Chuangzhen. Take a bowl.

"Huh? The two of us only have one bowl...it's still such a small bowl..."

Ye Shan turned a blind eye to Liu Maoxing's complaints!

The most common way to eat puff pastry soup is to use a knife and fork to remove the top puff pastry along the edge of the soup bowl, divide it into pieces and then decide whether to eat it with the soup or soak it in the whole In the soup, or while drinking the soup...

But since Ye Shanliang had already said it, naturally including Liu Maoxing and the five judges, they all chose to follow suit.

At the same time Liu Maoxing crushed the meringue with a spoon, a real explosion of fragrance came!

This is even more so in the judges' seat, which is obviously far away, but this time even the audience can clearly smell this smell.

Although the previous high-scoring contestants, except for Yu Mei who chose a restrained scent, the audience off the court could also smell the cooking of others, especially the explosive fragrance of Subaru Misaku, even the audience in the last row could smell it. smell it.

But those are not clear, just like a patient with high myopia looking at someone tens of meters away, it can be seen that it is a "person", but no one can recognize it.

However, the aroma of Ryo Hayama's cooking, shockingly and accurately delivered the spicy fragrance to the nostrils of each audience. Through the sense of smell, the appetite of all audiences was aroused.

The most rare thing is that Liu Maoxing, Chuangzhen and the five judges smelled this amazing spicy fragrance nearby, but at the same time it was exciting, and it felt mellow without being choked...

This is also the performance of Ye Shanliang's mastery of spices, which has already entered the room!

After the roasted naan is crushed, it is immersed in the curry that has been purified by the fish head. The dish prepared by Ryo Hayama at the beginning is "curry fish head soup", but as it is boiled, there is a final roasting , which has been gelled with the protein of the fish head, and contains the fluid between the soup and the sauce that has softened the fish bones.

Put a spoonful of naan pressed into the curry, and put it in your mouth together with the curry... The appetite that was aroused by the "True Taste Bomb" before was immediately satisfied!

"Baked naan and curry sauce soup tastes...indescribably wonderful!"

"While the types of spices are varied and rich in depth, they are combined together, promoting each other, rather than canceling each other..."

"And the texture of the soft fish bones is impeccable in addition to the spices!"

Qian Wu Xia Ya suddenly stared, as if she had discovered something unbelievable, she said, "Wait, the core of this fragrance is... Holy Basil!"

After reminding Xiangtian, he immediately understood: "Holy basil, known as the god herb in India, is a medicine used for many diseases in the Alun Veda of ancient India..."

"That's right, it's exactly this smell! I once visited a flower garden of holy basil in India... It's this kind of sweet feeling that flows all over my body!" Kosaka also said.

"However, there should be very few fresh purchase channels for holy basil in the island country, and it can't grow, right?" As a curry commodity giant, Qian Tao Xiaya has a good understanding of the situation of various spices.

"No, Professor Xijian's Spice Research Association has researched a cultivation method that can be cultivated throughout the year...but the method is a commercial secret!" Ye Shanliang said.

It was only then that everyone remembered that behind Ye Shanliang, there was an authoritative Jun Shiomi in the theory of spices!

"Holy Basil? What? Is it similar to Basil?" Yu Mei asked in a low voice.

Liu Maoxing replied after hearing the words: "Basil is actually divided into many types. The basil in the three spices of Italian cuisine refers to sweet basil, which is also what we usually call 'basil'. In Western cuisine, there is also a lemon basil. The application is also very wide...

As for the holy basil, it is a spice that is native to India and is far superior to the former, known as the god grass! However, it is not so difficult to use. It is usually only used for medicinal or ornamental purposes, and it is mostly used for seasoning cold dishes, not for cooking. "

"Eh? That Hayama..."

"Well, Ye Shan has harnessed the power of Saint Basil that can be used as a 'sharp knife' in cooking, and the secret should lie in... yogurt!" Liu Maoxing looked at Ye Shan and said with a smile.

Ye Shan couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Did you really taste it? That's right, yogurt can make the aroma of holy basil too strong, and it won't destroy the taste of other spices, and from a nutritional point of view, yogurt can promote the body's response to curcumin in spices." Absorption, this is a good thing that has the effect of clearing the liver and detoxifying...

But when you went to the Spice Research Association to pick up spices, you also took some fresh 'holy basil', right? Makes me curious, how do you use it? "

"Ashin, do you also use holy basil?" Zenji, who also knew how difficult it is to use in cooking, couldn't help asking in shock.

"You guys will find out later, maybe I just took it out of curiosity?" Liu Maoxing made a fool of himself.

And at this time the judges' scoring has begun!

Looking around, I saw two zero eggs suddenly appearing... Of course, there is a "2" in front of it! The other three are 18 points.

"There's a perfect score! In the autumn selection competition, a rare perfect score appeared! And there are two judges who both gave a perfect score!" Even You Ai became a little excited.

"In this way, Ye Shanliang won the highest score so far of 94 points, ranking first!" With You Ai's speech, I saw that 88 points were also kicked out of the top four!

The second place is Kurokiba Ryo with 93 points, and the third place is Yu Mei and Misaku Subaru tied for 92 points.

"It's a bit scary this time, isn't it? There are usually some competitions, but they can even get the first place with seventy or eighty points." Obviously, this is not the first time that Kosaka has been a judge of the autumn selection competition.

"But to be honest, my rating this time is even harsher than previous ones! Is it the same for Ms. Chihiro?" Xiangtian said helplessly, because he and Chihiro had given 20 points before.

"Hmph, there are finally some students who can see past..." Qianyou Xia Ya was a little duplicity, before she gave Ye Shanliang full marks without hesitation.

At this time, most of the review of Group B was over, and many people, including Dawu, Zhaoji, Yuji and other students from Jixingliao, came to pay attention to the competition of Group A.

When they first saw the numbers on the scorer, they even wondered if the judges in Group A were a little bit "watery"!

You must know that Group B has many high scores this year compared to previous ones, but Takmi, who was shortlisted as the fourth place, "only" 90 points...

And now Chuangzhen and Liu Maoxing in Group A have already raised the finalist score to 92 points before their debut!

You must know that after 80 points, especially 85 points and 90 points, it is very difficult to get a higher score!

Although the judges are fair, after all, things like "delicious" are subjective, so according to people's psychological awareness, the "point system" is used when the score is low, and the "deduction system" is used when the score is high...

How difficult is it to get these judges to only deduct two or three points?

From Ye Shanliang's score, we can also see that besides the two full marks, there are also three 18 points. It seems that the judges are not completely satisfied. 18 points are also a very high score... but the three 18 points come down , That is to say, 6 points were deducted!

In fact, it’s not too much. The consideration of the other three judges is because Ye Shanliang’s handling of the fish head, which is the main ingredient of this dish in theory, is not perfect, at least not as perfect as his use of spices, so Only 18 points are given.

As for Chiba and Xiangtian, they simply believed that the taste of this dish had reached the level of "full satisfaction" for them. As for the fish head, since this dish was already within the category of curry dishes, they also Just follow the deliciousness, don't do other considerations...

The most important thing is that other students didn't realize it at this time. If you look at the overall scores of the students in group A, you can see that the scores are actually more stringent than those in group B!

"Ah...Ya Shan, this guy has played to such an extent that I'm really nervous! In order to avoid Ah Xing's cooking, which will make me even more nervous, I'd better submit it first!"

Chuangzhen said that he was "a little nervous", but he couldn't tell it from his tone and eyes, but gave people a firm feeling.

Ye Shanliang couldn't help looking sideways, and Chuangzhen and Liu Maoxing also tasted his dishes. Even so, Chuangzhen still had the confidence to fight, which made Ye Shanliang couldn't help but care...

I saw that Chuangzhen opened the cover of one of the six dishes before presenting it, and saw that there was a half-moon-shaped omelet egg that was obviously wrapped in something!

Ha Shanliang and others who noticed that Xingping Chuangzhen was making seasoning rice before had already guessed that this should be the "omelet rice" that combines omelet eggs with seasoning rice...

"Spice bomb... the third shot, here we come!" Chuangzhen said as he waved his spoon and made a hole in the omelet egg.

I saw the rice grains with a beautiful sauce luster, exuding from it, and accompanied by the aroma of the dishes that were not inferior to Hayama Ryo's before.

Although Soma said that it was the "third shot" and included Subaru Misaku's cooking, which also chose to be presented in an explosive manner, but in fact the aroma of the last two shots was much stronger than Subaru Misaku's!

The interest of the five judges was also fully mobilized. After Chuangzhen served the other five unopened "Ome Omurice", he cut open the Ome Eggs in front of him one by one in anticipation, intoxicated by the flavors revealed inside. At the same time as the curry risotto, I involuntarily delivered it to my mouth with a spoon!

"What a strong taste! It's as if the taste buds have been hit by a straight fist!"

"The thick broth of chicken bones and tendon, as well as the deliciousness of ground beef and onions sautéed in butter, all soaked into the rice!"

"The broth of the seasoning blends perfectly with the fried eggs, without any sense of diaphragm..."

"And the latte-like sauce on the outside of the omelette also plays a role in reconciling! It should be made with oily oil and seasoned with honey to make the taste more rich and mild...It is different from the 'yogurt' in the previous cooking 'There are similarities in the same purpose!"

"Compared with the previous dish, the explosiveness seems to be less, but the sustaining power is better..."

The judges praised Sozhen, which is not inferior to the previous Hayama. At the same time, it seems that there are still some "wonderful things" that have not been confirmed, so they keep tasting.

And Liu Maoxing, who also tasted it, smiled slightly and said: "Mango chutney, and it's the special kind made by Xingping Dingshiya... Not bad, you can sublimate the whole dish with just this!"

Immediately, Liu Maoxing tasted this hidden but extremely important taste. After all, he has tasted the full set of recipes from Xingping Dingshiya!

At this time, the judges have already scored 19, 18, 20, 19, 18...

"It's appeared! There's another perfect score! Total...a total of 94 points, although there is only one perfect score, but the other players with relatively average scores, Xinghei Chuangzhen, and Ha Shanliang, tied for first place!"

To a certain extent, this also reflects Sozhen's cuisine, which is different from Ha Shanliang's characteristics. Although it does not have that kind of impact, it is more acceptable to most people...

And different from the original plot, even Xia Ya gave full marks this time!

If we say that the previous cooking was the "heroes" of the separatist regime, then now it finally appears... The cooking of Chuangzhen and Hashan seems to be the "king" who dominates one side!

The arena was completely quiet. After all, everyone now knows that the two players who will appear later will definitely go through hell mode, and the remaining single-digit players will all secretly glance at Liu Maoxing...

And Liu Maoxing moved his arms at this time, and then put five of the six wooden boxes of pressed tofu on a large pallet and lifted them up!

"It's time for me to appear, Taste Bomb, right? Let me fuel the fire!" Liu Maoxing said confidently.

The others were stunned, thinking in their hearts: What is he going to do? Why do you just serve the pressed tofu that has not been opened yet?
