Episode 211 Zheng Ke's suggestion
Zheng Ke sent the five judges to the car, and then returned to Polestar Liao with Yishihui.
The atmosphere in Polestar Liao is not bad, especially Megumi Tano. Although Zheng Ke could clearly see that her eyes were a little moist, the smile on her face was from the heart.
"Tanso, today's game was very exciting, and it was a good performance. Zheng Ke gave Tian Suohui a thumbs up.
Tian Suohui's face immediately turned red, "Senior, don't laugh at me, the 0:5 score is really embarrassing." β
"I don't blame you, even if Chuangzhenjun participates in this game, it may be 0:5. Zheng Ke explained.
"Impossible, right? I don't believe it. Megumi Tando shook her head repeatedly.
Among the people present, there should be no one who knows Kohei Sozhen's cooking skills better than her, and there is still a big gap between her and Kohei. She was disappointed with the result of today's competition, but she had to admit that Ryo Hayama's cooking was indeed better than hers.
However, if Kohei would also be 0:5, she would not believe it.
Kohei Sojin's cooking skills are not comparable to her.
Kohei Chuangzhen also scratched his head, on the surface it looked no different from usual, but in his heart he was quite unconvinced.
Zheng Ke narrowed his eyes, and he didn't refute Tian Suohui, some things are difficult to explain clearly in one sentence.
"By the way, Chuangzhen-kun, do you have any ideas for what you want to cook for the finals?" Zheng Ke looked at Kohei Chuangzhen again.
"How do you prepare? I haven't figured it out yet...... Let's talk about it tomorrow, right?" Kohei Soma scratched his head and said softly.
"That's right...... I think it's best to go to your trusted partner to help you if possible. The topic of the final is saury, and I know that with your cooking skills, you will definitely make a very good dish, but I still want to remind you that how to choose high-quality saury is also very important - by the way, do you know how to choose the ingredients?" asked Zheng Ke.
Xingping blinked his eyes and said very seriously: "Maybe in some aspects, eyesight is still lacking, right?"
Then don't say it so formally......
The people around him have a black line.
"By the way, wait a minute, if you have time, you can go to my room and I'll talk to you alone. As a senior, I give you a little advice. Zheng Ke patted Xingping on the shoulder.
"What, senior, why didn't you tell us?" said Yoshino Yuhime dissatisfied.
"You don't need it yet, and besides, I guess the judges will explain it to you when they try it. Zheng Ke said with a smile.
Yishihui knew that Zheng Ke didn't want to make trouble, and he also guessed what Zheng Ke wanted to say, so he didn't dissuade him.
After dinner, Zheng Ke took a shower, then returned to the dormitory to study the recipe, and within a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.
Zheng Ke opened the door and saw Kohei Chuangzhen standing outside the door.
"Come in. Zheng Ke let Xingping into the house, "I don't have any rules here, just find a place to sit?"
"Huh, senior, are you looking at the recipe?" asked Kohei Soma, glancing at the books and notes on the table.
"yes, the-blue is going to start soon, and I have to do some preparations. Zheng Ke looked helpless.
Kohei looked around the room and found that there was only one chair, and he had to sit on the bed.
"Senior, what are you looking for me?" Xingping looked at Zheng Ke curiously.
"Ahem...... I just wanted to tell you why Tasho lost so badly. Zheng Ke picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water gently.
"Eh?" Xingping was stunned for a moment, then quickly pinched his chin again, and fell into deep thought, "That's right, Tian Suo may lose, but if he loses so badly, there must be other reasons - then may I ask the senior, why did Tian Suo lose?"
"Have you ever heard of nirvana?" Zheng Ke asked solemnly.
"Must-kill dishes?" Xingping's lips opened slightly, and he looked confused, this concept was the first time he had heard it.
It took about ten seconds or so for him to react, "Wait, senior, you're saying that Tian Suo will lose, and it has something to do with the nirvana." β
"I didn't look for a few judges to confirm - in fact, you should be able to tell that Tansho's cooking is very good, and there are a lot of tricks in the whole dish, and even if she loses the competition, it is impossible not to get the support of one judge. From my experience, Ryo Hayama's cuisine is a must-kill dish. β
"But...... What is a nirvana dish, and what can I do to make such a dish-" Kohei quickly asked.
"Broadly speaking, it's a dish that reflects the chef's face. Zheng Ke thought about it, but he couldn't think of how to accurately express this concept, so he could only tell what he had heard.
"Chef's ...... Face. Kohei said thoughtfully.
"Well, in the vernacular, can you make your own dishes...... Whenever people mention this dish, they can only think of you. As I understand it...... Not only does the chef have a unique perspective on the dish, but more importantly, the dish reflects your passion for the dish and your desire to win. Kohei, I very much hope to ...... You can win the championship in the end, but because of the status of the Ten Masters, I can only help you go this far, not help you go further. Zheng Ke's eyes were bright and he stared at Xingping seriously.
Xingping also looked at Zheng Ke, and from Zheng Ke's eyes, he saw his shadow and an expectation for him. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Zheng Ke, "Please rest assured, senior, I will do my best in this game!"
"Whew-"
Seeing Xingping leave the room, Zheng Ke let out a deep sigh, if only he could see the finals of this year's autumn selection with his own eyes.
"You look like you're arranging the aftermath......"
There was a sudden sound of talking from the roof, so frightened that Zheng Ke almost threw away the teacup in his hand.
"You bastard...... Get out of hereβyou want to scare me to death?" Zheng Ke yelled at Yishihui on the roof.
Issehui narrowed her eyes, unmoved, "What...... Got it in mind?"
"yes, it's almost time for the-blue, and I'll have to start training, so I have to spare two weeks to make it to the final final. Zheng Ke sighed.
"Actually, you can wait until after the finals before you start training. The difficulty of the Asian race is different from that of the national race. Isshiki Hui persuaded him.
"You're wrong, for me the difficulty of both races is the same. Zheng Ke looked up at Yishihui, "In the national competition, although I qualified in second place, I only lost to Senior Sister Mu Jiuzhi in the group stage. In the Asian competition, my main opponent is also Sister Kikuchi. So, for me, there is no difference in the difficulty of these two competitions. My only opponent has always been Kikuchi Sonoka. β
"But you can get another 0.5 places......"
"Isshiki, I hate to leave my future to the unknown...... Moreover, I also want to win Kihisato-senpai...... Desperate to win. Zheng Ke stretched.
"But...... It's difficult. Issuki reminded.
"Yes, because of the difficulty, if you can succeed, it will be more meaningful, right?" Zheng Ke narrowed his eyes, and his whole body was filled with a heartfelt confidence.
