CH.183 Kohei's Response
The group found an Italian restaurant nearby, and after sitting down, everyone ordered pasta or spaghetti.
After returning from the bathroom, Erina glanced at the TV in the restaurant, and the second game had begun.
"In the second game, there were no additional questions. Erina sat down and whispered.
"Of course, after all, the finale between Lan Ji and Yuanyue is the third one, the duel between Catherine and Senior Si. Both are masters of French cuisine, and this match is quite exciting. Zheng Ke said softly.
"Xiao Ke, who will you support in the third game?" Xuan Li's question was a little intriguing.
"Of course, it's Senior Si. Zheng Ke picked up the teacup and said softly.
"Isn't your relationship with Catherine very good?" Xuan Li winked at Zheng Ke.
"Ahem......"
Zheng Ke had just drunk the ice water when he heard this sentence and almost coughed up all the water.
"Hey, Sister Li, our relationship is not so complicated. Besides, I'm still a student of Yuanyue Academy?" Zheng Ke's face was slightly red, and he looked at Xuan Li dissatisfied.
Ryuichi Shiraishi, Takeshi Ueda and Kosuke Mizuhara had expressions of "knowing everything", which made Zheng Ke speechless for a long time.
Fortunately, the waiter brought up all the dishes of the three people in time, which can be regarded as saving Zheng Ke from the embarrassment.
"By the way, Erina, I thought you would play in today's game?" Zheng Ke scooped up a spoonful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth.
Since he has escaped from the previous topic, Zheng Ke's wisest thing to do is to hurry into the next topic, so that these people who like gossip have no time to think.
"Ah, senior, what were you talking about just now?" Erina looked at Zheng Ke suspiciously.
Erina couldn't have been distracted just now, was she?
Zheng Ke could only repeat the question just now.
"Oh, Kohei said that he wanted to settle his personal grudge with David. Erina said simply.
Zheng Ke then remembered that there was indeed some conflict between Xingping and David.
It's just that David didn't play in this round, and even if he played, the person David replaced could only be Carol, and Xingping still didn't have a chance to fight David.
"That's a pity. Zheng Ke bowed slightly, and glanced at the TV, and the picture was right on Ian.
For Ian, Zheng Ke's evaluation of him is that he has solid basic skills, his cooking skills are not fancy, and when cooking ingredients, he can often hit the main point.
What's even more frightening is that in the two games he has played, Ian has not tasted defeat.
The more such people, the more noteworthy.
Of course, Kohei has not lost a game so far, but after this one, there is bound to be a loser.
Ian boils the mustard tomatoes in boiling water until the tomatoes are curled, then scoops out the tomatoes with a colander and quickly cools them in a book of cold water, in this way, peeling off the skin of the tomatoes.
Western food, in many cases, will have high requirements for the taste of the ingredients, as well as the color, which can be seen in the processing of tomatoes.
Just as Ian took out the spices and prepared to process them further, the scene shifted to Kohei's body.
Several other people also stopped their forks and spoons and watched Kohei on TV.
Kohei's operation is very different from Ian's.
For the first time, Ian was dealing with vegetables, slicing and dicing various vegetables, but Kohei was completely different and started processing bone-in lamb chops.
After cleaning and draining the lamb chops, Kohei picked up the pepper and garlic and sprinkled them on the lamb chops.
Lamb itself has a certain smell, and when cooking, it is necessary to reduce the effect of the smell on the dish as soon as possible, so there will be some spices, such as pepper, ginger or garlic, to neutralize the smell.
After spreading garlic and pepper on the lamb's body, Kohei took out an ingredient from the cart and grinded it on the countertop.
Zheng Ke was slightly stunned when he saw this ingredient, and then let out a surprised voice, "Fortunately, he ...... Did you use wasabi?"
Other people who were eating, after hearing Zheng Ke's words, looked up again and watched TV, Xingping was standing by the operating table, grinding wasabi with great interest, and soon, grinding a wasabi.
The appearance of Kohei grinding wasabi reminded Zheng Ke of the Kobayashi gentian who made a fire in the last game.
These two people, in some ways, still have something in common.
Erina put down her chopsticks, folded her arms over her chest, and looked at Kohei, who was starting to grind the second wasabi, thinking about his intentions.
After grinding two stalks of wasabi to make wasabi paste, the wasabi is spread on the body of the lamb chops, then sprinkled with rosemary and breadcrumbs, and set aside to marinate.
"Kohei's dishes are also quite interesting. Zheng Ke rubbed his chin and said softly.
"However, is it really good to try Western food with Lanji's students?" asked Takeshi Ueda curiously.
"It's definitely not good. Zheng Ke also shook his head, "Xingping is good at civilian dishes, and in such an important competition, using Western food is a not good choice." ”
"Kohei-kun is also forced to be helpless, right?" Erina also shook her head.
Zheng Ke, Xuan Li, and Shiraishi Ryuichi were silent and agreed with Erina's statement, but Takeshi Ueda and Kosuke Mizuhara looked confused.
Erina also saw the confusion of the two people, so she said softly: "In the final analysis, the ranking competition of famous schools is not an ordinary competition, but an invitation to the world's six famous schools. Of course, Hui Ying can be ignored, but other schools, including San Limby, are very strong. This time, if it weren't for the help of Senior Si and Senior Sister Gentian, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the current ranking.
"Now, Yuanyue is in first place. Although it will be very uncomfortable to say these words, the reason why we can have our current position is because of the iron triangle composed of Senior Zheng, Senior Si and Senior Sister Gentian. Once Audio-Technica is beaten, it becomes very difficult. ”
"Kohei's situation is like that. In front of Lanji's three second-year students, even if he uses civilian cuisine, it will be difficult to defeat his opponent. Moreover, in the face of high-end dishes, civilian cuisine is obviously at a disadvantage. What's more, the judges are Westerners. In terms of the same level of dishes, they also prefer high-end dishes. Kohei must have seen this and made this choice. ”
"In this case, wouldn't Kohei-kun's situation be difficult?"
"Not necessarily. Zheng Ke waved his hand, "Xingping is also quickly adapting to this dish, and the use of wasabi is proof of this." Let's take our time, shall this game not end so easily. ”
Shiraishi Ryu scooped up a spoonful of rice, "Let's hurry up and eat, and then go back to cheer Kohei." ”
The others nodded and quickly ate their dishes.
