Chapter 70: The Battle of Bento
"Xiaohui, the car that picked us up has come, let's go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Zhao Jiangchen and Kohei Chuangzhen stood outside the door, smiling and looking at Xiao Hui, who was still sorting things. "Today I'm just talking about what I need to know, what are you sorting out?"
"Oh, good." Xiao Hui kept up with Zhao Jiangchen's pace and walked out of the Polestar House, and a luxury car was parked at the door.
"Xiaohui, how nervous are you?" Zhao Jiangchen asked with concern.
"Well, for a moment, the thought of me fighting against those powerful people makes me feel a little scared." Xiao Hui once again clenched the talisman in his hand.
"Haha, Xiaohui, don't worry, you've done a good job, I know, the rest of the guys are very good, but, as long as Xiaohui plays his best level, don't think about the rest, failure is nothing, as long as you learn from the experience of failure, let yourself be more powerful next time!"
"Yes, I see, but... Even if it's impossible, I want to try and try to win. ”
"That's right."
When Zhao Jiangchen and Xiaohui were chatting, Xingping Chuangzhen answered a phone call, and hung up without saying much, and then, Xingping Chuangzhen's expression became very serious.
"What's wrong?"
"There was a little bit of trouble, Takmi was disqualified."
"Deprived? Why? ”
"It's like eating a halberd with a guy, and then losing, and losing his own half-moon knife."
"Well... I know, when the game meets that guy, let's fix him hard. ”
......
"Chenjun, looking at the results of the draw, you are the contestant in the first game tomorrow, against Alice Nagiri." Issehui smiled at Zhao Jiangchen, who was chatting and joking with Erina.
"Oh, it's Alice, that's a bit bad." There was a slight hint of helplessness in Zhao Jiangchen's voice.
"What's wrong, Chenjun?"
"It's Alice, after all, it's Erina's cousin..."
"It's okay, you can compete with her seriously." Erina's nonchaltious look.
"I see, so, what's the title of the competition?"
"It's a bento."
"Oh! Bento! Interesting, I haven't done this before. There are also boxed lunches similar to bento boxes in Huaxia, but most of them are not so exquisite, or serious, because many of them are on the train, or some inconvenient places to eat or eat in time. But now"
"Well, then please study it carefully."
"Hehe, you can win this game with all your strength, but I don't have much hope for you." Tsunee Ruiyama also walked to the door.
"Haha, I don't need your cheers, it's useless to me, but you, don't be so afraid of me winning, after all, even if I win, I don't bother to take the position of the ninth seat of the top ten, I'm afraid of dirty ass when I sit in this position, so don't worry."
Ruishan's eyes narrowed, "Is it...", and after saying that, he left, and it could be seen that he was not in a very good mood.
"You go back and work hard, if you lose, I can't spare you." Erina waved her fist at Zhao Jiangchen.
"Haha, I know, I know!"
"Then I'll go first, Erina, Isshiki-senpai."
"Erina and Chen-kun have a really good relationship..."Ichishiki said with a smile to Erina.
"Ahh Be... Is it... So-so. ”
"Next time you have time, remember to come to the Polestar House, everyone is very welcome."
"Oh... I'll talk about that next time. ”
......
"Today's official round of the autumn selection is about to begin, and now on the competition field is Alice Nagikiri, who won the first place in Group B with an overwhelming result, and then Zhao Jiangchen, who stood out with an unprecedented perfect score in the autumn selection competition!"
Compared with Alice's cheers when she appeared, when Zhao Jiangchen appeared, there were only a few people cheering.
"Haha, Alice, I really didn't expect that my opponent would be you, to be honest, it's really a bit stressful, after all, I haven't seen any of your high-tech."
"Of course, these are the latest and most cutting-edge high-tech from our research institute. Would you like to visit Northern Europe next time? ”
"Really?"
"Of course, although others can't, but you can, after all, your relationship with Erina is so good, we can still reluctantly make you make an exception."
"Yikes... It's really good, I'll definitely check it out when I have the opportunity in the future. ”
"Oh, read it, I heard you used a new spice? I found it in Ah San, there must have been a lot of interesting things happening on the way, can you tell me about it? Alice's face was full of interest.
"Oh, yes, although storytelling is really a tiring thing, but Alice is fine, is it Erina's cousin after all."
"Humph!" Alice suddenly puffed out her mouth, as if she was angry. "This time, let me treat you well with my food."
"Huh... That's right, Alice. ”
"What's wrong?"
"By the way, your hair and eyes are white, isn't it really albinism?"
"Hmph, you rude guy, you won't be liked by girls like this!"
"Haha, don't worry, I already have a lot of girls who like it." Seeing Alice's bun face, Zhao Jiangchen was very happy, I don't know why, maybe it was that special prank psychology that was doing the trick.
"Well, the theme of the first game is! Bento! The time limit is two hours, and the game begins! ”
After Zhao Jiangchen picked up the kitchen knife in his hand, the momentum of the whole person changed suddenly, and the demeanor of a chef still appeared. Every moment when the knife rises and falls, it is like a beautiful waltz dance, so eye-catching.
The neatly stacked ingredients on the side are also pleasing to the eye.
In comparison, Alice's is much worse. "Oh, Alice, don't you see, your knife skills are pretty good, I thought you would use some kind of powerful cutter to cut the ingredients in one go! Since it's all high-tech, why not be thorough? ”
"You're such a rude fellow! Hmph..."
"Haha, I'm sorry, subconsciously..."
......
Soon, Zhao Jiangchen and Alice's bento were ready.
"So, when the time is up, the next thing is the tasting time, please prepare your own bento boxes, and the first thing to try is Alice Nagiri."
"If you can, please try it from the top left corner of the bento." Inside the bento box is three rows and four rows of grids, each with a small piece of sushi inside.
"Oh, it's sushi, it looks delicious."
"No to you, huh!"
"Alice, you're so cute..."
Alice grimaced at Zhao Jiangchen.
"This one is Temari sushi that is full of the essence of my technique." Alice smiled and explained to the judges.
"Oh, it's so beautiful!."
"This bento box is still bubbling with fog, this mist... I guess it's liquid nitrogen. It's nice to have the idea of using air conditioning to keep the sushi fresh. First of all, let's start with seafood. Nagi Senzaemon nodded with satisfaction. The top of this abalone is, molecular mousse. ”
"Yes, that's mousse made with kombu broth."
"It's made with the kombu pickling method, but it should be more than that," the marshal picked up the second sushi.
"It's made with bonito meat that has been aged for two days at a low temperature."
"This is really super umami!!"
"Eh~! The fusion of inosinate from bonito and glutamic acid from kelp, the two umami flavors, creates a feeling of multiplication. It's a bento dish that you can taste in order and you'll finish it in your mouth little by little! This is followed by vegetable sushi made with thinly sliced vegetables in the second row, and meat sushi made with beef tenderloin aged at low temperature in the third row. ”
"This last dish is sea bream sushi... What is this little ball? ”
"This ball... It's the essence of broth! This is a sea bream chazuke dish that is finished in your mouth. ”
"There was..."
"The clothes are bursting!"
Seeing the old man's clothes stretched open by muscles, Zhao Jiangchen couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, "What's the matter, it's always a pickaxe tide when you eat, why don't you take off your clothes..."
"What a wonderful cook."
"Yes, if you are too powerful, the greater the shadow under the light that blooms."
"It's a real misfortune for these people to live in such shadows."
"This is Yuanyue Academy, if you cringe just because of such a little shadow, you don't deserve to stay in this school that is famous for its food." Nagi Senzaemon propped his head and looked at Zhao Jiangchen, who looked puzzled on the side, but did not speak.
"Oh~ It seems that all the judges have already finished tasting it, it's so good, I can eat such a delicious thing, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to taste it, but the six-person bento I made has also been completed, so I won't be as stingy as someone." After speaking, Zhao Jiangchen handed out the lunch boxes to each judge one by one. "Alice, it's on the table, you can take it and taste it."
"I don't want to eat it, you rude fellow." Alice pouted angrily, looking like I don't want to pay attention to you.
"Zhao Jiangchen, what is the bento you made?"
"I call it an energy-filled ultra-satisfying bento."
"What a strange name for this, hey! It's obviously made up randomly! Alice complained dissatisfiedly.
"Hahaha... I don't have the talent to come up with a name.... Hahaha... I'm so embarrassed. ”
"You don't look embarrassed at all, do you! You guy—" Alice was speechless for a moment.
"So, please open it and taste it!"
