Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Hiss..."

"Zizizi..."

I saw the five judges sweating profusely and making noises in front of Jiuga Zhaoji's "Red Oil Pizza".

It wasn't until they had almost eaten that the judges breathed a sigh of relief and began to comment.

"Hoohoo, as expected of the 'predecessor' Top Ten, they have managed to achieve this level of numbness and spicyness!"

"The filling in this pizza...is this unique texture and flavor 'snake meat'?"

Kuga Teruki replied: "That's right, it's snake meat..."

Suddenly Jiu I Zhaoji felt that someone seemed to be looking at me, so I couldn't help "shuddering" and turned around to look.

That's right, it was Haruki, the oily girl, who seemed to see a "commoner"...but because of his small sunglasses, Jiuga Zhaoji didn't notice him.

Instead, he continued to talk to the judges: "Stir-fry the low-fat and delicate snake meat with garlic, pepper, chili, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves... and other spices, and then put it into the cheese , Borrowing the method of "taste snake" from Chinese cuisine and Hunan cuisine!"

Well, Jiuga Zhaoji did not use his favorite Sichuan cuisine this time, but it seems that he is still rolling in "numb" and "spicy"!

The taste of "Taste Snake" should be more "spicy" than "spicy", but under the improvement of Teruji Kuga, it is more inclined to "spicy".

"At the same time, it doesn't look awkward when the snake meat is mixed into the cheese... No! It should be said that the cheese itself has been 'processed' first, rather than simply melted and used?" Xiangtian said differently.

Indeed, the pizza of Kuga Teruji, even in the "cheese", is filled with a spicy taste, and if you taste it carefully, it is different from the "spicy" of snake meat. Its own "spicy" is also completely different!

As if... it was cooked with chili?

The chili with strong spices doesn't go well with dairy cheese? Not necessarily!

"That's right, I was inspired by Bhutan's 'Cheese Chili' before using the cheese, and the chili is stewed together with the cheese... This is almost a national dish in Bhutan!"

Bhutan does not have a clear cuisine, because it is located on a plateau and lacks resources, and the national eating habits are mainly high-calorie and heavy-tasting.

On the one hand, there is a lack of theoretical basis, and on the other hand, there have been no famous chefs who can carry forward the national cuisine, so "Bhutanese cuisine" is usually not considered an independent cuisine.

Chili is not used as a spice in Bhutan, but as a real ingredient, and it is a very representative ingredient. On the contrary, it was not until modern times that people gradually got the habit of eating vegetables. Until now, some Bhutanese also think that vegetable salad is Things to feed cows and sheep...

As a combination of chili and high-fat dairy products, "cheese chili" is equivalent to the status of a national dish in Bhutan!

Of course, it is not the same as the real "cheese pepper". Jiuga Teruki just used a part of "cheese pepper" to process the "cheese" that will be used in pizza in advance to make it more suitable for spicy snake meat. That's all.

"Wait, this cheese...isn't the homemade cheese of the plateau people, but the Italian 'mascarpone cheese'?" Xiangtian said suddenly.

"As expected of a two-star Michelin certified teacher, have you even tasted this? That's right, it's 'mascarpone cheese'. Otherwise, it would be difficult for you to continue sitting here under the stimulation of pure numbing and spicy. Already." Jiu Wo Zhaoji said in a nonchalant manner.

"Mascarpone cheese? I really want to hear this name somewhere..." Yuan Guo frowned.

At this time, Mrs. Leonora directly explained: "Is that the one? The newly discovered cheese in the world can effectively neutralize the 'capsaicin'! It is said that it has been used in some industrial production to replace yogurt to neutralize the 'spicy' taste." Su' has worked!"

"That's right, it is the non-synthetic ingredients that are most suitable for neutralizing the spiciness as far as we know. This has created an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the spiciness to the fullest! In fact, when I tasted it just now, I could also notice Some? After tasting the spiciness, the spiciness dissipates quickly with the chewing of the cheese! While being hearty, it doesn’t stay in the mouth for a long time.” Kuga Teruki said.

The outstanding "spicy relief" effect of mascarpone cheese was discovered in recent years...

It is generally believed that yogurt, milk and other dairy products, as well as starch, fat, and sugar can "relieve spiciness". Similarly, sweet soda can also be used. On the contrary, after tasting the "spicy taste", if you drink plain water instinctively, it will be harmful to the body. "Spicy relief" does not obviously help, but the spiciness will spread due to drinking water!

At this time, the judges also gave their scores.

18 points...17 points...17 points...16 points...14 points...

"The scores of the former top ten players, Kuga Teruki came out! The total score is 82 points! Currently, Yoda Suohui is tied for third place!" Yu Ai announced.

Jiuga Zhaoji's score has a huge difference between high and low, obviously it may be affected by "acceptance". After all, the title is "pizza", not "curry". The judges are not prepared to accept this kind of spicy impact It's not surprising... This also made him particularly upset: "Huh? 82 points? Are you kidding me? The one with 14 points, your tongue..."

Just when Jiu Wo challenged the judges according to the minutes, Yisehui had already stepped forward.

"Yeah, I know Xiao Teruji is very depressed, but is it okay to go down and wait for me to deliver the dishes?" Isshiki's voice came from behind Kuga Teruki.

"Huh? Why should I listen to your arrangement? It's great to be able to smirk?" Before Jiu Wo Zhaoji was in the Council of the Ten Heroes, he was not a good boy, and he often quarreled with Yishihui and Ruishan.

Fortunately, at this moment, there were already some people who were worried that his grades would be cancelled, so they directly put him down...

Of course, although Kuga Teruki has the same score as Tiansuohui, it can be seen from the score structure that if it is really tied for fifth in the end, if one is to be selected by voting, it is likely that Kuga Teruki will be.

Because except for Wade who gave 14 points, the scores given by the other four judges were all higher than the previous scores for Tian Suohui.

For Teruji Kuga, who was the former top ten, but failed to surpass Nobuna Oda and Haruki Yume as freshmen, the students generally cheered...

It wasn't until Isshiki's high score of 90 points that everyone calmed down, and then Nakiri Erina, who received the most attention, began to present her own pizza.

(That's right, Yisehui was skipped gorgeously!)

Although Erina was the tenth seat before, the lowest in the ranking, but the popularity is the highest...

And now everyone generally believes that Erina's cooking skills are not only at the level of the tenth seat!

But when everyone saw what Erina brought out, they couldn't help but make a voice of doubt...

"What's that? Antipasto soup?"

"Isn't the topic 'pizza'? Is it really okay to add appetizer soup without authorization?"

"It's not an 'appetizer soup' at all, is it? The only dish she presented is the one for each person!"

"Could it be... that's 'pizza'?"

That's right, amid everyone's surprise, what Erina brought out was that every judge had a bowl of "soup"!

The color of the soup looks very thick, and it can be vaguely seen that there are still a lot of soup ingredients in it, and it is not pure soup after filtering...

"Huh? What is this? The title of the competition is... pizza, right?" Wade swooped up the very viscous yellow soup in the bowl with a spoon.

"That's right, please use it! This is my carefully prepared pizza soup!" Erina said.

"Pizza...soup?" Wade was still puzzled, but seeing that Erina didn't intend to continue explaining, the five judges began to taste it first...

In fact, the judges also noticed that this is not so much "pizza soup" as it is unheard of, it is better to say it is "cheese soup".

It's just that there is cheese, and this thick soup should also be a strong soup, but what about the base and filling?

Immediately they ate it!

In this cheese soup, the ingredients in the soup are not the usual bacon, tomato, and potato, but large pieces of lamb, and finely chopped "cakes"...

Although it is not like Jiuwo Zhaoji's "red oil pizza", it has almost irritating numbness and spicyness, but it is also expected to be heavy in flavor, and with the steaming soup, it can also make people sweat profusely!

"So that's it! After chopping up the bottom of the pancake, put it in the soup."

"It reminds me of the 'mutton steamed bun' in the Qin cuisine of Chinese cuisine...or maybe this is the cheese soup version of 'mutton steamed bun'?" Xiangtian was the first to react.

Qin cuisine, that is, Northwest cuisine, or Shaanxi cuisine, although not included in the eight major cuisines of China, has both the strengths of the North and South cuisines, and also has its own characteristics.

Mutton steamed buns can be said to be the representative of Shaanxi cuisine. If you come to Shaanxi or Xi’an, it is definitely not justified not to try the authentic mutton steamed buns...

Erina's "pizza soup" is borrowed from mutton steamed buns!

In a bowl of cheese soup, there are cheese, sauce, filling and even "cake base"...

According to the rules of Yuanyue Academy, it is said that this is "pizza", but no one can raise any objections.

However, "mutton steamed buns" can be seen everywhere in Shaanxi, and cheese soup is not a rare dish in the West, but combining the two is definitely not just adding some cheese to "mutton steamed buns"!

It can even be said that Erina only used the form of "mutton steamed buns", that is, boiled mutton with mutton bones and spices until soft, then served with soup and spices, soaked and broken into soybeans Big and small "mo", that is, white flour steamed buns without stuffing...

Of course, Erina uses baked and matured harder wheat cakes, and then chops them evenly with a knife, and added cheese and cream at the beginning of boiling!

The spices used, the heat used, and the auxiliary materials are all completely different.

"This completely soft mutton, soaked in milky soup, while chewing in the mouth, bursts of natural meat aroma, as well as the aroma of mellow and fragrant soup, spread out in the mouth!"

"There are also hard wheat cakes, which are obviously dipped into the soup afterward. They don't look jerky, but they also fill the texture and the fullness of the soup..."

"And obviously I have tasted more than 20 different kinds of pizza, many of them can stimulate people's appetites, and they are obviously full, but after drinking this 'pizza soup', they still don't feel difficult at all, Instead... it seems like being hugged by someone on a cold winter night!" Yuan Guo sighed.

"Well, the finely crushed hard wheat cakes are like small steel balls, right?" Erina said suddenly.

"Eh... eh? What, what small steel ball? I... I haven't played a small steel ball for a long time!" Yuan Guo panicked.

Erina, on the other hand, smiled with a dangerous expression, as if she had already confirmed who was hugging Yuan Guo just now...

"Ahem, alright, let's score." Xiangtian interrupted the atmosphere that seemed to be about to expose Xiaosan.

Although I don't know why Yuanguo looks like a good girl and has something to do with places like "Small Steel Balls", but he has a hunch that if he doesn't interrupt the conversation between these two, there may be "" Accident"!

19, 18, 19, 18, 18...

"The highest score has appeared! The second-year player, Nakiri Erina, got the highest score of 92 points in the B division in this competition! He became the first place in the "Top Ten Seat Contest - Preliminary Tournament - B Division"!"

Because Erina was already the last contestant to present the dish, Yua Sasaki directly announced the result.

It also means...

Immediately afterwards, Sasaki Yuai announced the list of finalists: "The contestants who are shortlisted in the B area, there are second-place contestant Isshiki Kei, third-place contestant Oda Nobuna, and fourth-place contestant Yume Haruki... As for the fifth place, it is because Tiansuohui and Kuga Teruki are tied, so the judges need to vote again..."

However, at this moment, Nakiri Ji, who had been acting harmless to humans and animals, suddenly stood up!

"Wait a minute, I have something to say. It would be unfair to just vote like this. After all, the issues that need to be considered are not exactly the same in one-on-one eating halberds and multi-person scoring games. I have A better way." Nakiri Ji said suddenly.

Just when Youai wanted to ask the general counsel's opinion, the voice of the general came over...

"No need! Just follow the previous rules."

Although he didn't know what Nakiri Jiji was going to do, Senzaemon knew that no matter what Nakiri Jiji wanted to do, it was definitely right to stop him himself!

"No, Commander, what I mean is... If there is a shortlisted player who volunteers to play one more game, does it mean that there is no need to vote?"

"Volunteer to play one more game?" Senzaemon wondered, wondering what kind of idea Nakiri Ji was going to come up with.

You must know that Tian Suohui and Kuga Teruki are unlikely to be bought by the Central Gourmet Agency, so at this time, Nakiri Ji asked his shortlisted players to play an extra match, what good is it for him?

"That's right, and it's ready now!" Nakiri Ji finished speaking, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

If this is the case, Senzaemon... there seems to be no reason to stop him...

What also puzzled Senzaemon was that Nakiri Ji's mood didn't seem to be affected by "that" incident not long ago?

What is it? That would start two hours ago.

Two hours ago, Division A...

"Sorry! I'm late!"

Just as the twenty or so contestants, including Liu Maoxing, were cooking, a panting voice suddenly came.

Liu Maoxing also thought the voice was familiar, so he couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the venue, only to see Lian Nantaro rushing in pushing a trolley full of ingredients!

There were obviously several security personnel chasing him outside, but they stopped only to see that he had already run to the field and did not cause trouble.

"What's going on? It seems to be someone from the central food agency?"

"Didn't they all abstain?"

"Wait, he didn't have a thistle brooch!"

As ordinary students in the audience, they also began to realize that something was wrong...

And the audience of the Central Gourmet Organization was even more blown away at this time!

Obviously, according to the previous general counsel's order, Lian Nantaro and the other four should have withdrawn from the competition. Why did he decide to participate in the competition privately?

Xiao Gulei and the other three couldn't help but secretly said: Not good!

However, after all, Lian Nantaro was one of the four students with the highest status in the previous "Central Gourmet Organization" except for the ten outstanding ones. And there was no matching brooch in public, but no one stood up to criticize him for a while.

It wasn't until Ruishan Zhijin got the news that he rushed over from the A competition area and yelled directly: "Shut up! Your qualification for the competition has been cancelled, please leave immediately now."

"I didn't sign any waivers, I..."

Before Lian Nantaro finished speaking, a group of security personnel belonging to the central gourmet agency were about to pull him down first.

And at this moment, Liu Maoxing, who had been silently paying attention, cut up the last part of the beef, and tentatively suspended the work in hand...

"Be more attentive when cooking, I don't want you to have other excuses after you lose." Ye Shanliang reminded Liu Maoxing while judging the sauce with his eyes closed and using his sense of smell.

"It's too late to say this kind of thing after you win... Wait a minute, Lian Nantaro, you really haven't signed the formalities for abandoning the game?" Liu Maoxing whispered to Ye Shanliang in the first half of the sentence, but in the second half People who stop the Central Gourmet Agency.

"That's right, I didn't..."

"The activities of the students of the Central Gourmet Agency are all arranged by our agency, and his abandonment has already taken effect! Contestant Liu Maoxing, please don't disturb the normal order!" Rui Shan said from the side.

"That's right! Ah Xing, you are just an ordinary student now, go back and compete... But as the top ten, I also want to hear what Lian Nantaro has to say." Alice stood up at this time.

"You... besides, the game has already started!"

"Well, there's no point in our quarrel. Let's ask the judges. Dojima-san, Horikoshi-san...do you think it's okay for Lian Kuantaro to enter the competition?"

Dojima Yin discussed with several others, and then stood up and said: "Since Mr. Lian Nantaro passed the qualifying round before, the review team decided to approve him to participate in the middle, but the deadline is the same as other contestants, and... If you do If the pizza produced is suspected of 'plagiarism' with any other contestant's work, it will be disqualified!"

"But..." Rui Shan wanted to say something, but the judges ignored him.

"What are you still standing there for? Do you want to interfere with the normal competition of the contestants?" Alice said to several people from the Central Gourmet Agency who were still carrying Lian Nantaro.

Several people quickly let go of Lian Nantaro, otherwise if they were blamed for this, the general counsel would not protect them!

Lian Nantaro looked at Alice, the judges, and Liu Maoxing who was the first to speak for him before, his eyes turned red, and he bowed at ninety degrees one by one...

"Thank you so much! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"

"Okay, let's go to my cooking table right away... Although I don't like you very much, hahaha..." Liu Maoxing said with a smile, and continued his cooking at the same time.

The general situation, Liu Maoxing and others can also imagine!

Originally, it was obvious that Nagini Jiji wanted the puppet chefs of the Central Gourmet Organization to be "cannon fodder" and occupy some places, and did not intend to design their own recipes. After all, it is impossible to expect them to compete for the top ten.

And there is no established recipe, these puppet chefs are quite good, and cutting thistle will naturally not let them "show their cowardice", so they all decided to abandon the game!

But obviously not everyone can accept it, such as Lian Nantaro...

So even if he didn't have a recipe, he still came...

Although as Liu Maoxing said, even he himself is not optimistic about himself in this state, but he still wants to come!

Previously, they used the excuse of being uncomfortable and didn't come to watch the game with Xiao Gulei, Kumai Shigemichi and others, but rushed in after preparing the ingredients!

Of course he also understands that this means that his days in the Central Gourmet Agency are over...

According to what Nakiri Ji once said to a cook who violated his will, from now on he is not only a "tool", but also a discarded "tool" that no one uses!

After more than an hour of hard work, except for a few top players in Area A, most of the other players had already presented their pizzas, and even Nantaro also presented his own pizza.

"This is 'Durian Pizza' made from durians from my hometown, Malaysia. Please taste it, judges!"

It seems he is still Malaysian? I don't know if he joined the Central Gourmet Agency after studying in the United States, or the Central Food Agency also has influence in Malaysia... As for the "Durian Pizza", it doesn't look very distinctive.

To a certain extent, the "poisonous tongue" of Liu Maoxing and Nakie Ji both worked. Although Nantaro's basic skills are superb, the direction of his mastery of skills is narrow, which is not enough for him to perfectly complete this "durian pizza" ", and... this recipe was also "thought out" by himself in the past two days.

After all, he is really not good at creating by himself...

The final score was only... 9 points!

It's not a judge's score, but a total score of 9!

The audience roared with laughter...

Rui Shan also sneered, the score was expected, he had already prepared his speech!
