There are many people who say that Akane Kubo Momo is a pastry chef who can represent the Western-style pastry of the contemporary Engetsu Gakuen.

This sentence is only half true, Akane Kubo Momo is not only outstanding in Western sweets, but also has a deep study of Japanese desserts.

It is no exaggeration to say that the people who can become the ten masters of the far moon have their own understanding of a certain aspect of cooking, such as the ramen of Fusuke Nyojima of Nyokijima, the soba noodles of Nene of Kinokuni, the Sichuan cuisine of Teru Kuga, and the dessert of Akane Kubo Momo.

When Akane Kubo's dessert appeared in everyone's field of vision, everyone's eyes lit up, and even the three judges who had just tried my "puff pastry cream chicken" for a long time were attracted by this dish.

In the center of the clean disc is a sugar craft that symbolizes the flame, and the jagged edges are like a raging flame that ignites the passion for food in people's hearts. The mousse-filled cylindrical shortbread is about the thickness of a finger, and the sweet flavor wafts out of it, making you feel like you're in a reverie.

The whole dish is like a burning flame, with a icing made of syrup with the edges turned up in all directions, and the shortbread in the middle is like a lit firewood.

Seeing such a dessert, everyone couldn't take their eyes off it, and the three judges sitting in the judges' seat felt this way. And even more deadly, a light fragrance wafted out of the dessert and entered the hearts of the judges.

"It's ...... Chestnuts?" Charum sniffed deeply, and immediately discerned the source of the scent.

"Yes, judge, this dish is called, honey chestnut shortbread. Please enjoy it to the three teachers. Akane Kubo Momo bowed slightly.

When Teruki saw this dish for a long time, he was a little dissatisfied, clenched his little fists, and protested: "Sister Momo, you actually make such a delicious dish-I hate you." ”

"Xiaozhao, we have different positions now, so don't blame me. Akane Kubo Momo hugged the puppet tightly, and the expression on her face told Higame Teru that she was serious about this game.

Anne swallowed her saliva and said to the two judges beside her, "This time, I'll try it first, and you two will feel free later." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Anne picked up a shortbread and took a bite of it.

The crispy shortbread melts in your mouth, and the rich flavor spreads throughout your mouth. The taste is delicate and smooth, sweet and warm, as if every cell of the body is surrounded by butter.

"The sweetness has a hint of chestnut aroma, which gradually penetrates into the taste buds, and the soft taste also makes people feel a sense of relaxation from the heart. Anne closed her eyes and felt the deliciousness of the dessert, as if a large bucket of milk was poured over her body, and her body exuded a faint mellow fragrance.

The chestnut paste made from the powder of the chestnuts is mixed with the whipped cream, and the sweetness of the chestnuts fills the whole dish, and the honey mousse inside the shortbread also exudes a sweet flavor, like a slight sea breeze, a refreshing feeling from the heart. The rich mousse gradually melts in the mouth, blending with the sweet shortbread...... This layer upon layer of deliciousness makes people almost go crazy. Charum's cheeks flushed, and he almost screamed.

"Try this dessert next to you. Eastwal picked up a small dessert and lifted it to the two judges next to him.

"Dessert next to it?" Anne was slightly stunned as she picked up the tiny dessert next to the shortbread. This dessert is probably shorter than fries, about half the width of fries.

The teeth were gently bitten, and the crunch sound of "rattling" emanated from her mouth, and a rich fragrance immediately echoed in her mouth.

This aroma is luscious and delicate, but with a slight hint of bitterness, which is what makes it so unique in such a sweet dish. Originally, her mouth was slightly sweet, but this bitter taste woke her up instantly...... No, it should be love.

If the pastry just now makes diners feel a little greasy because of its complete sweetness, this bitterness makes up for this shortcoming.

"This ...... This bitterness is ......"

"It's hazelnuts. "After the hazelnuts are crushed into minced pieces, they can be mixed with the batter to make the batter more flavorful, and because of its slight bitterness, it brings out the flavor of the dessert." ”

"It's hazelnut ......," Anne nodded, "and that's no wonder. ”

Hazelnut is a sweet ingredient with a sweet taste, but it has a slightly bitter taste, so it is often paired with chocolate.

And this time, Akane Kubo peach used hazelnuts, and the effect was also very good.

After the three judges finished tasting, they took out a napkin to wipe the grease stains off their hands.

"Judges, can you evaluate the competition in the first group now?" asked Rei Kawashima in a low voice.

"Please wait a moment and we'll discuss the results. When Anne had finished speaking, she began to discuss with the other two.

Xinghei in the audience has already sweated, and after experiencing the competition, of course he understands that the mood of the contestants on the judges' table at this moment, the feeling of tension, is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Don't look at the hippie smiling face of Jiu Ji Zhaoji now, it is estimated that his heart is beating at 2 times the rate at the moment.

More nervous than Kohei Soma is Megumi Tadoko, who keeps writing the word "human" in the palm of his hand to relieve his mood.

The others were also nervous to varying degrees, only Isshihui was still the same, squinting and smiling.

"Senior Isshiki, aren't you worried?" asked Kohei curiously.

"Don't worry, because I know that the chances of Kuga-kun winning are slim. Isshiki explained.

"Eh, why? I feel that the judges are quite satisfied with the dishes of Mr. Higashi. Kohei questioned.

"It's useless. Isusei shook her head, "I wasn't sure just now, but now it's clear at a glance." The cooking that Kuga-kun makes is not what he is good at. Although Zheng Jun helped a little, Zheng Jun's opponent was Kobayashi Gentian, and he didn't have the energy to take care of Kuga-kun. Any delicious dish is afraid of comparison, especially in a competition like this. The flaws that appear will be infinitely magnified. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Kohei Soma quickly turned his head and looked at the judges' seat, where the three judges were already sitting up straight.

"The first group of the third round, the winner, Akane Kubo. Anne exclaimed.

"Congratulations, the Far Moon Ten Heroes United team won the third round. Rei Kawashima shouted excitedly.

In the third round, the Far Moon Ten Heroes United temporarily led 1:0.

After losing the game for a long time, I breathed a sigh of relief, a little bit of loss in my heart, and a little bit of relief.
