Chapter 22: Goodbye

All around, there are all kinds of attractive fragrances, numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, sweet, salty......

All sorts of explosive smells came through the air, and the others had already begun to cook, but Megumi Tazo was still standing quietly in front of the cooking table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She closed her eyes and gently put her hand into the bag she had brought, the touch of rice grains clearly emerging in the palm of her hand.

Taking a deep breath, she tightened her headband again.

"Chi-chan, I'll win."

She began the action.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and after seeing her movements, there was a loud uproar from the crowd.

"What is she doing? Rice washing? Am I right? ”

"Rice washing?! Is she going to make rice or porridge? See any other ingredients? ”

"There are no other ingredients, just rice! Is she going to make white rice or white porridge? There should be a limit to joking! ”

"Everyone else is cooking dishes with explosive flavors, and you can taste the absolute deliciousness in your mouth, and she wants to use that kind of white rice that has no taste at all to compete with the students of the Ten Masters? Sensational clowns! ”

On the judges' seat, the judges also frowned.

"Look at it, it's going to be rice or porridge."

"Instead of using other ingredients and adjusting it with the gentle texture of rice, it's the most simple dish in its original form? The courage is commendable, but to be honest, the taste of the food that can't even smell the aroma is completely predictable, so I really don't have much appetite. “

"You can't say that, maybe there will be something new and some surprise."

Ignoring the noise of the crowd around her, the scrutinizing gaze of the judges, or the tempting aromas wafting from the surrounding cooking tables, Megumi Tansho concentrated on scooping up the rice.

"Chi-chan, I told you about it at the beginning. I'm not good at anything else, I'm a person who can't cook luxury cuisine, and the only thing I'm good at is so-called home-style simple cooking. It's really hard to do anything in a place like this......"

"But I still remember the commander-in-chief saying in his speech at the entrance of the new students that truly qualified cuisine can convey emotions. Dishes that make people cry or laugh are truly top-notch dishes. “

"Then, if you can, a porridge that is as ordinary as me and not outstanding, if you can, I will entrust you with this mood."

……

Giggles, gurgles, Senzaemon's face was slightly ugly, but he still gave Erina a score of ninety-six points. If you count the previous members, all five members of the Central Gastronomy Agency have scored above 95 points!

Even with Senzaemon's pickiness, I have to admit that the dishes made by several people in the central gourmet organization are all first-class delicious, even inferior to those first-class chefs.

"Oh,I've been to Yuanyue School Park before.,About two or three months ago.,I've also tasted the cuisine of these ten masters.,It's far from the taste now!"

"How? In terms of technique, they are definitely not as good as those real first-class chefs, after all, they are all chefs who have been trained for decades, but in terms of taste, the dishes of these students are no less explosive than those chefs! “

Nagi cut thistle nodded slightly: "It's a matter of ingredients." “

"Ordinary ingredients are dead, but the ingredients they use to cook are different, they are live ingredients!"

One of the judges asked, "Live ingredients?" But their dishes are not sashimi or anything like that, and although they are indeed comparable to sashimi in terms of freshness and vitality, how can they be alive? “

Nagi thistle smiled mysteriously, "Regarding this, there is a certain way to stimulate the vitality in the ingredients, so it tastes like living ingredients." As for how to do it, this is a unique skill of our central gastronomic organization, and I will gradually pass on this skill to the members of the central gastronomic organization in the next step. Our philosophy is not as rigid as it is now, hiding all the skills and letting the students ponder it alone, which leads to the fact that Yuanyue's efforts and investment are completely disproportionate. ”

Just as Nagi was about to speak, Chuangzhen had already walked up with his own food.

"Everyone, please taste it!"

Chuangzhen confidently looked at the judges on the judges' seat and interrupted Nagi thistle's words.

Nagi cut thistle was not displeased, but with a weird smile, he said softly: "Ah, have the students who support the existing system of Yuanyue also sent food?" So, guys, let's try it. ”

He noticed Chuangzhen's wary eyes, and then smiled again: "Don't worry, I'm not going to go against my tongue yet." If it's really better than the previous cooking, I won't skimp on the score. Of course, the premise is to be excellent. ”

He picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful of the bright red novelty and put it into his mouth.

After tasting the taste for a short time, he still said with that weird smile: "Do you deliberately use spicy as the main tone to strengthen the impact on the taste and leave a deeper impression?" ”

He paused, smiled and said in a strange tone, "Ah, it's a little bad, I can't remember the taste." Your dish is completely overshadowed by the fresh aftertaste of the previous dishes. ”

"If I want to give a score," he held up a score card, "this kind of score should be a good score, after all, the creativity is very good." ”

Eighty-two points!

Sojin looked at the score in disbelief, and was about to accuse him of being unfair in giving the score, when Senzaemon sighed lightly and also raised the score card.

Eighty points!

"How so!" Sojin stood there dumbfounded, watching the judges raise the score cards one by one, not even a score of eighty-five, completely suppressed by the previous cooking.

"Although the creativity is very good, the flavor is also very explosive and spicy, with a hint of numbness...... But, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry that the freshness of the previous dishes is so strong that I'm sorry that the memory of the taste of your dishes is getting thinner. ”

"The creativity is very good, but there are still some gaps in taste. I'm so sorry. ”

"How...... How could it be ......"

The food that was served with confidence was greeted with words of comfort.

Chuangzhen picked up the food that had been handed to one of the judges before, dipped some of it with his fingers, and then sent it to his mouth.

"How...... How could it be ......"

"Such freshness, such vitality...... Ingredients, is it alive? ”

With his head down, Chuangzhen retreated silently, the gap was too big.

Goo, the students in the stands who still supported Yuanyue's original system swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"If you want to eat halberds here, the level of Chuangzhen is really a little worse, after all, it's only the first grade, and you can't blame him."

"Yes, the dishes that will be presented later are the real ten masters, and there will definitely not be such a huge gap, right?"

However.

"Eighty-five points!"

"Eighty-seven points!"

"Eighty-four points!"

"Eighty-nine points!"

The highest scores, none of which reached 90 points.

"How so?"

"Just kidding, huh?!"

"Aren't they all ten masters? How could it be so far off?! “

"Isn't it a hierarchy at all? In other words, the central food agency really has special skills, and it can even make ten masters make such a big improvement in such a short period of time, and he said that he will teach everyone without reservation, right?! “

"So what about that...... Seems to ......"

Just when the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, Megumi Tazo presented the final dishes.

"Everyone, please use it."

Gently picking up the lid of the casserole, it is not surprising that it is an ordinary rice porridge, just with dots of green onion leaves to enhance the fragrance.

"Sure enough, it's such a porridge, I was thinking that there would be any amazing changes."

"From the appearance and smell, it is really the most ordinary rice porridge. No matter how clever a cook is, the porridge made with only rice grains will not taste better than the porridge made by a housewife. “

"But since it's all here, let's try it."

"Besides, I've just eaten so many dishes with a lot of oil and meat, and the taste is very impactful, so now I really want to eat light dishes. The smell of rice grains is refreshing, and the fragrance of green onion leaves is also very light, and my appetite is better again. ”

"Oh! The taste is surprisingly kind. Such a simple porridge feels even more comfortable than the previous dishes! ”

"Not only that, but the taste, although very light, is not as light as white water that has no characteristics at all. With the right temperature, such a feeling...... I remembered......"

"Is it my mother's porridge? Hey, why are you crying? ”

"Aren't you too?"

"yes, isn't that the taste of the porridge my mother made for me every day when I was a child?"

"Wait, and more, and more. Is the bitter taste the feeling that I did something wrong and waited anxiously for my mother's forgiveness?! ”

"And this feeling of power, when I decided to become a professional chef when I was fifteen years old, what a determined feeling!"

"The taste of the porridge encompasses all the previous dishes, not suppressed, but tolerate, and I can recall the deliciousness of the previous dishes more clearly. That's right, that's it, porridge is like this! ”

In the exclamation of the judges, everyone in the stands fell out of sight.

"Are you kidding? A bowl of white porridge can make the judges so moved?! ”

"It's such a simple meal!"

Megumi Tazo breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head slightly, when she caught a glimpse of two familiar figures at the entrance between the moon and the sky.

"Chi-chan?! Ming Yuan-kun?! “

His heart trembled, he didn't care to listen to the judges' admiration, and he didn't care to look at the judges' scores, Tian Suohui rushed outside.

"Where? Where is it? “

It was empty outside, but Megumi Tazo was sure that she had seen those two familiar figures just now.

Following a certain special feeling, Megumi Tazo ran desperately towards the Pole Star Liao.

Hurry up, hurry up, you have to catch up! You have to catch up with Qian-chan and admit your mistakes to her! If you don't hurry, they'll go!

Running, when the roof of the Pole Star House came into view, a carriage also appeared in view. The carriage had already begun to move, and Megumi Tazo shouted with all his strength.

"Wait!"

"Wait!"

"Chi-chan, don't go!"

The carriage, which was already moving slowly, stopped, and the white gauze skirt floated in the breeze, and a young girl slowly stepped down from the side of the carriage. She wore her hair in a cloud-like bun, a small and cute hairpin tied up, and the bangs in front of her forehead were neatly trimmed, calmly revealing her true face covered with dark red scars in the sun.

"What a beautiful ......"

Megumi Tanzo looked at the girl infatuatedly, the scars on the girl's face detracted from the beauty of her body, but the happy smile on her lips and the corners of her eyes made people ignore the flaws of her appearance, and the coexistence of tranquility and strength brought her a different kind of charm.

It's Qianji, it's her, it's Qianji who took off her mask.

The gauze skirt gently swayed with the wind, and the girl was already close, and the soft touch of the gauze could even be felt by Tian Yumi's skin. Only then did Tian Sue react, and said at a loss: "Qianjiang...... I ......"

Chiki smiled and gently kissed Megumi Tadoko on the forehead.

"I've seen it all, after defeating the Ten Masters, Megumi is already a great cook."

Megumi Tazo cried at a loss: "No, Chi-chan, I, I did something very excessive to you...... I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I was so surprised, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm really, really sorry! “

Knock, Qianji lightly flicked Tian Zhihui's forehead, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "Then, this can be regarded as a punishment." “

She carried a beautiful white gauze skirt, spun around lightly in the sun, and asked with a chuckle, "Is it pretty?" “

There was a free look on her face, and Tian Sumi's eyes were fascinated.

"It's so beautiful, Chima-chan, it's really beautiful, this kind of white really matches you."

Qianji turned around with a smile, got into the carriage again, and sat beside Ming Yuan.

"So, goodbye, Megumi-chan, we're going to continue our trip. If I find a place where I can send a letter, I will write to you. ”

"The next time we meet, Megumi-chan will definitely be even more powerful and make more touching dishes, right? When the time comes, please treat us to a good taste. “

"The next time we meet, maybe I'll wear a cherry pink dress, and the captain said that color goes well with me, and I want to try it out."

Megumi Tadoko stood there silently, watching the carriage disappear from sight.

Peace of mind.
