Two simple words, ingredients.

The female staff stood on the stage with a scroll, and Masato Kamihara's gaze swept over the stunned Xia Yu, and spoke at the right time: "The main ingredients are fixed, but the form of cooking is not limited, everyone can play freely, and the time limit is 2 hours!"

He looked very talkative, but the chefs were all tense.

Fortunately, this group of quasi-two-star chefs has rich experience in on-site cooking, and if they are replaced by a group of students, some people may have trembling legs and stomachs.

The examination room fell silent for a while.

The chefs and staff who poured in from outside quickly filled the audience with hundreds of seats, and the latecomers could only squeeze into the last row, tiptoeing to watch. If someone smokes and makes noise, the staff will stop it in time.

"Huh?"

In the audience, Miyoko Hojo glanced at the nearby seat casually and was stunned.

She wiped her eyes vigorously.

Also in the first row, on the right-hand side, seven or eight seats away from her, stood two young girls.

One girl has long, slightly curly blonde hair and is in good shape, while the other has short and medium-length purple hair, standing slightly respectfully next to the blonde girl.

Moreover, what makes Miyoko Hojo dare to confirm their identities is that they are all wearing Engetsu's uniform skirts!

"Why did the Tongue of God and that Shinto Scarlet Sako come to IGO Tokyo Headquarters?" said Miyoko Hojo frowned secretly.

She doesn't have the respect and popularity of other female students of Tozuki.

The first seat of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon is the goal and ideal that Miyoko Hojo is fighting for, so Erina Nagikiri, who has won a seat in the Ten Masters, is undoubtedly the enemy who stands in her way.

in the exam room.

"Do you want to make a dish with specific ingredients?"

Xia Yu quickly used his brain.

The other chefs were in a similar state, and they all found Zhang Kitchen to stand, pondering.

Thundered. The sound of huge wheels echoed through the stadium, and several able-bodied staff members worked together to push a cart full of ice cubes.

"Live Atlantic cod ingredients have been delivered, so you can choose as you please!" said the female staff member holding the scroll, talking to the microphone.

At this moment, the nine chefs who participated in the assessment all moved, all of them striding meteors, although there was no scene like the rush of the vegetable market, but a tense atmosphere quietly permeated the crowd.

Identifying and selecting ingredients is also a part of the assessment!

Otherwise, the IGO agency would not have gone to such great lengths to deliver live cod to the site.

Nine men gathered around the cart with eagle-eyed eyes searching for their favorite cod in the freezing water.

Xia Yu is also one of them.

In fact, he was confused.

If he regularly handles and cooks freshwater fish, he can talk all day long.

However, cod is a marine species that grows mainly in the cold waters of the North Atlantic from Northern Europe to Canada and eastern America. At present, the main producers of cod are Iceland, Norway, Canada and Russia.

Neon fishing grounds in Hokkaido can also catch cod, but the yield is not high.

The old man also rarely let him handle the cod all these years. This is because there is no Chinese cuisine with cod as the main ingredient on the menu of the Xia restaurant.

Xia Yu didn't know much about cod, and only stayed on the surface knowledge such as the origin, and it would be difficult for him to choose the ingredients.

Let's put it this way, this assessment question happened to hit the blind spot and weakness of his cooking skills!

So, standing in front of the cart, motionless, he became the object of attention for the large-screen camera broadcast above the venue.

Masato Kamihara stared at the big screen, his face sinking slightly.

"Mr. Kamihara, that young man, is the chef you take special care of?" Gin-Dojima was curious, if he had been trained as a professional chef and had enough cooking experience, he wouldn't have been able to pick cod.

Masato Kamihara felt a little embarrassed.

IGO institutions, in the neon homeland, and the distant moon can be said to be in a relationship of coexistence and competition. Despite his displeasure, Masato Kamihara nodded and said in a deep voice, "I believe he can make a dish that satisfies us." ”

"We'll see. Dojima's eyes flashed.

Ryoko Lina has a pair of wonderful eyes, always on Xia Yu. She didn't look at the broadcast screen, and saw that the other chefs had moved the big cod back to their kitchens, and Xia Yu was still standing petrified, and her thin eyebrows finally gradually wrinkled.

There was also a lot of discussion in the audience.

"What is that teenager doing? 2 hours of cooking time is in a hurry!" puzzled the chef who came to participate in the one-star assessment.

"It's still too young. I don't think I'm a student of Yuanyue, and sure enough, I encountered difficulties in selecting ingredients at the beginning. And that's just the beginning, there are a lot of details that go into handling cod. ”

"Then don't look at it, this teenager is the first to be eliminated!"

Listening to the sound coming from behind, Miyoko Hojo couldn't help but fidget.

Blind spots!

Even she felt a little embarrassed. Cod. Ingredients rarely used in traditional Chinese cuisine are more exposed to this type of aquatic product in coastal provinces, but in general, freshwater fish are the mainstream.

The other side.

"Erina-sama, he seems to be having a hard time. The purple-haired girl, Shinto Scarlet whispered behind Erina Nagikiri.

It's really a coincidence today, not only did Dojima Silver come to IGO Tokyo headquarters to discuss affairs, but Erina Nagikiri also came, she was already a two-star IGO chef earlier, and this time she came to apply for a three-star assessment, and waited for a while in the lounge of the venue.

The previous broadcast made her curious, the luxurious lineup of examiners showed that there were not simple characters in the two-star examination area, but what Erina Nagikiri didn't expect was that she met that annoying chef again!

"He has not been trained as a professional chef, and there are many blind spots in the area of cooking. The corners of Erina's mouth flashed with mockery, "What about Mr. Xia Qing's grandson." Ye Luzi is Ye Luzi, and he doesn't even know about cod, a 'nutritionist on the table'!"

Erina Nagikiri's words really wronged Xia Yu.

Cod became famous in Western Europe and can be said to be similar to Chinese dumplings, German elbows, neon sushi, and became a kind of civilization carrier.

This fish is also found on the Pacific coast, but there is generally little interest in this fish in the countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. Because the cod has a rough taste and a lighter taste, it does not conform to the aesthetics of "freshness" in the pan-Chinese cultural circle of East Asia.

Therefore, there is a strange phenomenon in the interior of the motherland, the local cod is not popular, and the price is even lower, while the price of black cod and silver cod sent from abroad is exaggerated.

No matter what the outside world says, Xia Yu at this time is in a wonderful state.

Kitchen God Space.

"System, put all the edible cod fingerlings out for me!"

Xia Yu sharpened his knives and conducted an emergency make-up class.
