CH.198 Bento
"The fourth fight of the first round. The theme is 'Bento', the time limit is two hours, and the cooking starts now!"
Above between the moonlit sky, the voice of a female announcer echoed in the air.
When Ryo Kurokiba and Alice heard the announcer's words, they immediately began their own cooking.
"Alice uses test tubes and other instruments one after another, and I can't understand them. Daigo Aoki watched Alice's actions and panicked.
"Marui ...... Let's explain. Yoshino Yuhime looked at Zenji Marui on the side.
"This ...... Ahem, it's beyond my knowledge. Zenji Marui had sweat on his forehead.
Although he often soaked in the library, the library was only theoretical, and he had not seen much practice.
"Senior sister, do you understand?" asked Asami on the side.
"I, I'm not familiar with it either, maybe Zheng Ke or Isshiki, I know a little bit, right?" Asami is also quite embarrassed, but molecular cuisine is different from other cuisines, if you can't, you can't understand it at all.
The aroma of rice in the pot has escaped from the pot and entered Alice's nasal cavity, and the smell of fresh fragrance makes her mood very happy.
"Alright...... Next, start processing the bonito!"
Kuga Teruki's eyelids jumped twice, and he stared at the big screen with wide eyes. As a top ten master of the far moon, it is really embarrassing that it would be so difficult for him to understand a dish.
"Hey, do you understand?" asked Kuga Teruki.
"Of course, isn't it molecular cuisine?" said Erina's answer.
"Ning Ning, the country of age, also made a lot of molecular cuisine, didn't you pay attention to it at that time?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.
“…… Not. ”
At that time, I only cared about the anger of Ning Ning, the country of life, for a long time, how could I have the time to study these.
"It's still a matter of ten masters? Akane Kubo said depressedly.
For a long time, Teruki rolled his eyes angrily, and his gaze swept to Kurokiba Ryo. At least, he can still understand Kurokiba's cooking.
Kurokiba Ryo laid the fish flat on a baking sheet, put it in the oven and baked it, and immediately took out the shrimp, cut the belly with a delicate kitchen knife, and then flattened it on the cutting board, and sprinkled with a little salt and cornstarch.
Is it fried seafood?
Just when I was puzzled for a long time, Kurokiba Ryo brought shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, cheese and other ingredients again.
"Zheng Ke, why do I think this year's students seem to be more powerful than last year?"
"If it wasn't for the Duran brothers and sisters coming over last year, it is estimated that this year's autumn qualifiers would be one level higher than last year. However, the difficulty should be the same for you, after all, you were eliminated in the first round. Zheng Ke's tone was full of banter.
I rolled my eyes angrily for a long time, last year's autumn qualifiers, it was really a very bad experience, he met Isshihui in the first round, and then lost the game inexplicably, now that I think about it, I still feel very regretful.
I thought that this game would end very quickly, but the time it took for Ryo Kurokiba and Alice greatly surprised everyone at the scene.
Waiting until there were twenty minutes left before Alice put the food on the tray.
"Look, Alice's cooking is ready. ”
But her plate was covered with a transparent dome, and there was smoke floating inside, so she couldn't see the food. ”
"What's that smoke?"
"How do I know? Is it smoke?"
Spectators in the stands speculated with each other and expressed their opinions.
Zheng Ke groped his chin and after a moment of contemplation, he guessed the true face of the white mist.
"Liquid nitrogen. ”
"Liquid nitrogen ......," Teruki Kuga muttered to both sides of his mouth, and his eyes brightened, "Is it to ensure the freshness of the sushi?"
"Haha, I didn't expect you to even know this. Zheng Ke narrowed his eyes.
"I'm at least one of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon!Don't take me for a fool," I pouted for a long time, looking dissatisfied.
Sure enough, when the judges lifted the dome, the white mist rose quickly and quickly disappeared into the air, and at the same time, Alice's bento also appeared in everyone's field of vision.
In the center of the plate is a rectangular wooden box divided into 12 small squares, each containing a piece of carefully crafted sushi.
"Temari sushi?" said Erina in surprise.
Zheng Ke's brows furrowed slightly, recalling the origin of Temari sushi.
To put it simply, Temari sushi is a type of kaiseki cuisine in which the ingredients are folded together with rice and then held into sushi that can be eaten in one bite.
Alice's sushi certainly won't be simple Temari sushi. Each sushi seems to have been carefully processed, and just looking at these sushi, you feel an indescribable luxury.
"If you can, I'd like to ask the judges to start with the one in the upper left corner. Alice narrowed her eyes and whispered.
"In the upper left corner, do you mean sea urchin and abalone flavor?" Senzaemon picked up the sushi in the upper left corner and put it in his mouth.
The delicious taste in the mouth, rampage, everyone's face, showed a happy look.
"Well, I see, this molecular mousse is a frothy kombu broth. One of the judges exclaimed.
Kohei Soma, who was sitting in the stands, had round eyes, "Is this okay?"
"Molecular cuisine is meant to deceive the eyes of diners, using taste and visual differences to surprise the taster. "Asami has also seen the molecular cuisine made by Kino Kuni Nene Ningning, so she has some general understanding of molecular cuisine.
"This dish is actually a bento that is finished as the diners taste it in turn. Alice licked her lips, and out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Ryo Kurokiba with a headscarf in the center of the stage, who was looking at her with a hideous face.
I'm sorry, I'm going to win this game.
The corners of Alice's eyes showed a playful look.
Looking at the satisfied expressions of the judges after tasting them, Hisashi Teruki's face showed an incredible look, "Those Temari sushi, which looks like you can eat in one bite, are really so delicious?"
"You can't look at molecular cuisine from the perspective of ordinary cuisine. Do you see the machine on the outermost side of the truck?" said Zheng Ke, pointing to the truck.
"See, what's the problem?" asked Kuga Teruki.
"It's a centrifuge that separates the pigments, the fibers and the juice. The juice is then added to the dish to give it a juicy taste. Zheng Ke explained.
"You know that clearly?" asked Kugame rhetorically.
"Because I've used a similar machine, of course. Zheng Ke said with a serious face.
Before crossing over, he used a centrifuge more than once to carry out experiments on chlorophyll separation.
