Time passed in a hurry, and soon, the month was coming to an end, and everyone who was busy outside slowly returned to the campus. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Everyone's back, but what about Chenjun? Why haven't you come back yet? Xiao Hui stood at the door of the Pole Star House, her face full of anxiety and anxiety.
"Well~ Xiaohui, you're really worried about Chenjun, you'll come out every morning for the past two days to wait for him." Yoshino Yuhime sat next to Megumi and complained about Megumi with a smile.
"No... No, I just... I'm afraid that Chenjun won't be able to catch up with the exam..."Xiao Hui hurriedly explained.
"Well, what's this, in fact, Chenjun didn't come back, although everyone didn't say anything, but they were quite worried in their hearts. Aunt Wenxu is also often nagging him. Why haven't you come back or something. โ
"yes... Everyone is worried about him, and there is only one day left until the autumn auditions begin. โ
......
"Erina-sama... He hasn't come back yet. Scarlet sand retreated from the door to Erina's office.
"Well, I see, read me today's schedule."
"I... I know. โ
......
"Really, the time for the autumn auditions is almost up, why haven't you come back yet?" Flesh Mei held the mobile phone, and her voice was very dissatisfied.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something relatively sudden happened in the past two days, and it was a little delayed, I just bought a ticket today, and it is estimated that the time to return to the far moon will be the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow is when the game starts, can you get there on time?"
"Don't worry, when did I make you worry, ha... That one... If I'm late, let Erina and Ichishiki seniors help me talk about it, after all, are they ten masters..."
"You guy... It's really unreliable... Also, why is your voice so tired, what have you been through these days? โ
"Whew... It's hard to put into words... Anyway, it's very exciting, don't worry, I'll find time to tell you when I go back. Okay, don't worry about the rest, prepare for the two-day competition, or your brilliance will be overshadowed by me. โ
"What, you guy, ignore you... Stay safe..."
"Got it, got it..."
......
Time passed slowly, and the time for the game finally came.
A huge venue was full of people, Kohei Sojin, Xiaohui, Flesh Charm, Secretary and so on all gathered together.
"Really, hasn't that guy Zhao Jiangchen come back yet?" Flesh Charm rolled her eyes.
"I don't know, we didn't see him when we came out." Xiaohui was also a little worried.
"What, Zhao Jiangchen hasn't come back yet?" Takmi also looked a little surprised, "Really, that guy can't have forgotten the start of the game." โ
"No, I called him two days ago." Flesh Mei shook the mobile phone in his hand, "I also told him about the time of the game, he shouldn't forget it." โ
"All of you at the venue, you've been waiting for a long time, but now please look at the stage ahead, and I would like to invite the current head of the academy, Lord Nagi Kiri Senzaemon, to give a speech to you." Rei Kawashima's voice rang out on the stage.
"Ahem... Ahem, ahem..."
"Your Excellency..."
"Whew... Do not worry... I just choked. Once the air in this place is inhaled into my body, I feel a force flowing through my body. โ
Nagi Senzaemon straightened his face, "This place, commonly known as the Moon and Heaven, was originally only available for the halberd between the Ten Masters. It is a tribute to the first seat of the Ten Masters of the past dynasties, so it has become a tradition to hang their portraits here. โ
"Oh~ Really, if you look closely, the portrait of the predecessors of Dojima is also there, and there are also the portraits of the seniors of the four palaces."
"Kohei Soma, this is not the time to care about these things. You must know that Zhao Jiangchen's guy hasn't arrived yet. โ
"Don't worry, that guy is even more determined than me to win the first place, and I'm not worried that he will miss this game."
"You're really relieved." Several people sighed helplessly. Fortunately, under the infection of Kohei Chuangzhen's self-confidence, everyone's mood is much better.
"There are many famous cooking duels and famous dishes here. Because of this, memories of the long-lasting battles float here, and then the official competition for the autumn selection will also be held here. You will write a new chapter in history here. Let's see you here next time, all the wonderful chefs of Yuanyue. With that, Nagi Senzaemon stepped down.
"Let me explain the rules of the game." Rei Kawashima stepped onto the stage. "As you have previously mentioned in the letter, the topic of this competition is curry cuisine, the time limit is three hours, and then the number of 60 players who can advance to the official round is 8, that is, 4 people from each group. Please go to your own venue and prepare, as the qualifiers will start at 11 a.m. โ
In venue A, the clock time is 10:55, and the master of ceremonies has also announced that those who do not show up during the game time will be deemed to have automatically abstained. At this time, even Kohei Chuangzhen couldn't help but sweat.
"Hey... Everyone... I'm back. The dusty Zhao Jiangchen rushed in from the door of the venue, waving his hand as he rushed back.
"Ha~ You're finally back." Kohei Soma breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, sorry, it's been too much of a hassle... There are too many things to do. Also, you can call the other people and help me talk to them so they don't have to worry. Zhao Jiangchen wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I see, but what is this?" Kohei Chuangzhen looked at a little Lori who was shrunk next to Zhao Jiangchen's legs.
"This girl will explain to you when she goes back, and I'll take her to a more convenient place first." After speaking, Zhao Jiangchen carried his bag and pulled a little girl with long hair and a shawl and rushed to the stairs on the edge of the venue.
"That guy is finally back." In the VIP seats high above the venue, a smile appeared on Erina's pale face.
"Bang!" Zhao Jiangchen pushed the door open.
"You're finally back..."Erina walked to the door and walked in front of Zhao Jiangchen with a happy face.
But before she finished speaking, Zhao Jiangchen approached and hugged Erina, "Ha~ I really miss you, Erina-chan, look at you, you're all thin, your face is so pale, let me make more delicious food to make up for you when the time comes." Also, I'm sorry to worry you, so let's finish the game first, and then I'll take you to the Polestar House, and I'll tell you about what happened in India... Anyway, it's great to meet you... Pooh..."
After taking a sip on Erina's face, Zhao Jiangchen turned around, touched the top of the little girl's head, and hugged her, "You wait for me here for a while, stay with this big sister for a while, he is my brother's girlfriend, you can rest assured with her, you know?" โ
"Well, I know, come back quickly..." The little girl touched Zhao Jiangchen's head, and a smile appeared on her face, a beautiful smile.
"Well, don't worry." Zhao Jiangchen put the little Lori on the sofa, then turned around and said to Erina, who was still in a trance, "Okay, Erina, I'll leave it to you, help me take care of her, I'll come over after the race." After speaking, Zhao Jiangchen returned to the competition venue with his bag on his back, during which he calmly washed his face and changed his clothes.
The hour hand jumped to eleven, and at the same time, the face of Nagi Senzaemon appeared on the central TV, "The game begins!" โ
At the sound of the order, the atmosphere of the entire competition venue was mobilized, and everyone invariably took charge of their own cooking tools and began to deal with their own cooking.
"Oh, that girl over there uses peppercorns."
The fat man looked at the flesh charm.
Ignoring the oversized man who was waving and shouting for refueling, Flesh Charm looked around, "Oh, that person is Alice's henchman... Walt! It's completely different from the expression just now. After Kurokiba Ryo put on the red turban on his hand, it was as if he had awakened himself in the inner world, and the whole person became very passionate from the previous muddy and unenergetic appearance, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
"So... What happened to everyone else? Flesh Charm looked at the other people again, "That one over there seems to be Ryoko Sakaki, who is an expert at koji, but what is that black slimy thing in her hand!" โ
Ryoko Sakaki looked up at Ryo Hayama and Zhao Jiangchen, "Are these two the only ones seeded in this game... Chenjun... Huh? โ
With the escape of bursts of aroma, several people led by Ye Shanliang quickly set off a craze, which moved everyone else.
"Purr... Hearing this voice, everyone's movements stopped for a moment.
"What's the situation?"
"What's that voice?"
"Isn't it!"
"Don't you say!"
Everyone's eyes stopped at Kohei Soma, who was sitting cross-legged in a chair.
"This guy! Sure enough, I'm sleeping! There was a roar in the hearts of the people.
"It's not just him... There's an even more obvious one! Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Jiangchen, who was lying on the cooking table more obviously, although he didn't make a snoring sound, but... The action of your sleep is too exaggerated, bastard! (โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ๏ธตโปโโป
"Ahh Are the two little guys over there ready to give up, and they're starting to fall asleep? Chimote Natsuya covered her mouth and chuckled a few times. It seems that the level of your students is not all at the same level, Ruishan-kun. โ
"Hehe, they... Maybe it was an accident..."
