Chapter 318: Collision! (Liu Pleiaus: I didn't appear in this chapter)
Less than two hours after the qualifiers began, students began to deliver their pizzas!
After all, although there is a three-hour time limit, most of the finalists also know that once the seeded players start presenting, there is nothing to do with them......
It's better to show your face now and show yourself in front of many people in the culinary world, so as not to have the embarrassment of "people are better than people have to die" for a while!
"Well, Chicago-style deep-dish pizza? After slicing, the melted cheese even flows out, and the color of the ketchup looks good......"
"The thick side is not jerky, but the bottom is not as thick as expected...... It gives a lot of room for filling! ā
"Chicken and bacon with a tomato-based sauce? Although it is decent, the mastery of the heat and the grasp of the thin and thick parts of the cake base are still commendable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Kada, Leonora, and Yuanguo commented in turn.
Then the scores on the scoreboard lit up ā 8, 8, 6, 6, 6......
"Ichiro Ota's final score is 34 points! It is now in first place. Yuai Sasaki, the master of ceremonies in Area B, announced.
That's right, more than a dozen people have presented their pizzas before the three-year-old Ichiro Ota, but the score is not as high as his!
The second and third year students have long been accustomed to this, while the first-year freshmen have been "frightened" a lot.
"Is this the grading criteria for Far Moon Academy? It's too high......"
"That's right, just like the people before me, I said it well one second, but the scores after that were very low!"
"Determine that each referee has 20 points, right? None of the judges have given more than 10 points, right? ā
"There are still people who have single-digit overall scores...... That's the senior who stood out from the qualifying round! ā
And at this moment, an unusually stimulating smell came out of the B area arena!
Originally, when I was cooking, Haruki Oilgirl and Nao Sadazuka used ingredients with a "peculiar smell", but it was not obvious at that time...... At least it's "not obvious" compared to the current smell!
I saw Nao Sadazuka take out the pizza with a blackened base and a "spot" filling from the oven, and then a strong fishy smell spread across the field......
"Ahh What does it taste like? ā
"Just smelling choking, is she here to make trouble?"
"This is something that was baked on top of the dough......"
The first-year students have already questioned it, while the second and third students look at them with disdain, as if to say: How rare and weird, don't you even know about fetish (hei) sex (mofa) cooking?
I forgot that half a year ago, at the autumn tryouts, they were also taken aback by Nao Sadazuka!
"Please take your time! This is my carefully prepared 'blessing from the deep sea'! Nao Sadazuka's face, although not "hearty", also has a natural smile, not like the "witch is coming" at the autumn tryouts.
"The ...... of the deep sea Blessing? Wade, a foodie judge from Europe, looked at the pizza with several octopus tentacles sticking out of the moldy cheese in front of him, and some other shellfish that seemed to be lurking in it, no matter how you look at it, it feels more like a "curse of the deep sea"!
However, as a gourmet's professional ethics, he did not jump to conclusions, but used a knife and fork to divide a small piece.
I put a blackened crust, moldy cheese, and a filling that looks "ominous" and looks like a desperate hand in hell and chews it gently.
At this time, the five judges finally ushered in the first move in this tasting!
In contrast to the "Autumn Auditions", when Nao Sadazuka presented the "Pitch Black Laksa Curry", the judges were immediately appetized by the "smelly" curry, and then they tasted it in a big gulp while thinking it was "smelly......
At this moment, under the "blessing of the deep sea", I saw that the five judges in Area B all showed really intoxicated expressions, and there was no situation where their expressions were diametrically opposed to their appetite.
While intoxicating and chewing the pizza, the nostrils seem to increase a little, as if using the sense of smell to taste the taste of pizza in the mouth!
"O deep sea! It's dark, but it's also very safe and welcoming! Yuan Guo sighed.
"This cheese is the French 'Rockefort cheese', right? A kind of blue cheese, and Italy's gorgonzola cheese, British Stilton cheese, and known as the world's three major blue cheese, made of raw goat's milk, fermented in the cave, blue stripes are blueberry plaque, but also the source of odor, in the fermentation from the inside to the outside breed, blueberry plaque uniformity, density, is also a sign of the maturity of blue cheese. At the same time, we use dried octopus feet and mussel meat as fillings, and we use cuttlefish juice with the same strong habit as a concoction in the base of the cake......"
Lady Leonora began her strange mouth fetish again, and after tasting the food she was satisfied with, her shortcomings in spoken language would be made up for in a short time, and she was called "Leonora's version of the Cracked Clothes".
At the same time, she also cracked the blue speckled filling!
"Nao Sadazuka's score is out! This is the first player in the tournament to score five double-digit points! 67 points! With a total score of 67 points, it temporarily occupies the top spot. Yuai announced after the score came out.
At the same time, Nao Sadazuka doesn't seem to be very satisfied with his results......
But at this time, Nao Sadazuka suddenly saw that the scarlet sand of the ten masters was already in the field, and applauded her encouragingly, and immediately looked shy and satisfied.
"Nao-san, too, has grown...... Although I still like fetish ingredients, the cuisine is not as confrontational as before, and it is no longer the characteristic of using fetish ingredients to 'capture' the judges, and you can see from the expressions of the judges that although the smell of the food is very strong, it should not affect the contestants behind it too much. Chuangzhen, who is also already a top ten master, said.
Although blue cheese is also a variety of cheese, and "Rockford Blue Cheese" is one of the best, there are still some students who show expressions that they can't accept this kind of food that can see bacterial plaque......
However, they quickly accepted it!
Because immediately a stronger "smell" "dispelled" the smell brought by Nao Sadazuka before.
"What is it?"
"It's that arrogant freshman!"
"Huh? The one who wants to start his own club? ā
"That's right, it's that 'perverted' ......"
I saw Haruki, an oil girl with small sunglasses, with a confident smile on the corner of her mouth, and put a few plates of pizza with obvious odor in front of the five judges......
"Welcome to taste the masterpieces of my darlings...... I call it 'Takekai Pizza'! Haruki said.
"My darlings' masterpiece? Shouldn't it be 'my precious masterpiece'? Wade said suspiciously.
At this time, the five judges also saw that under a layer of earthy yellow cheese, some fillings were exposed......
"It's bamboo shoots and ...... What meat? ā
It can be seen that in addition to bamboo shoots, there should be some kind of shredded meat, which may be chicken, duck and other poultry meat in terms of color, but in the thick "peculiar smell" of cheese, it does not seem to have a unique taste of poultry meat, but is mixed with a fragrance that blends with bamboo shoots?
Students who have listened to Haruki Oil's speech and seen his concept of "rare ingredients" probably have some guesses about these white "meats", but they don't know what they are!
"Then let's try it first! Anyway, this bamboo-woven baking tray is really a bit peculiar, but doesn't this heavy-flavored cheese completely cover the fragrance of bamboo? ā
Puzzled, the five judges each cut the pizza in front of them into small pieces and put them in their mouths!
A moment ago, I felt that the taste of this cheese was too "spicy", but I was immediately conquered by the bamboo aroma of the pizza!
Whether it's the base, sauce, or filling, there is a fragrance that makes you feel like you're in a sea of bamboo......
Among them, the sauce doesn't need to think too much, the fragrant sauce is not rare, not to mention the bamboo shoots, it is strange that there is no fragrance of bamboo!
However, it is surprising that the shredded meat in the crust and filling can also feel this way......
"It's bamboo juice! The dough at the bottom of this cake is kneaded with bamboo juice and high-gluten wheat flour, right? Koda said.
"Bamboo juice?"
"That's right...... A kind of water taken out of bamboo, filtered, purified and activated by bamboo, contains rich biological enzymes, as well as amino acids and trace elements required by the human body, and has a clear bamboo fragrance! ā
"But this 'meat' ...... The taste is a little strange, it's different from the meat I've tasted before, what kind of meat is it? This bamboo incense...... It doesn't look like the result of pickling! Koda wondered.
As a gourmet, he can't taste what kind of meat this is?
This made Xiangtian and other judges puzzled!
I saw the oil girl Haruki smile confidently, and then said: "It's the 'bamboo insect' that I carefully cultivated in the bamboo forest at home!" ā
"Bamboo ...... Insect? ā
"That's right, in the adult stage, a kind of 'worm' that will emerge into a small wasp and lay eggs between the nodes at the base of the bamboo, and the larvae of the bamboo worm will parasitize in each bamboo section and suck the nutrients in the bamboo node! In 20 days, you can grow from the size of a grain of rice to the thickness of your fingers, and this is also the time to eat! These are the results of blanched bamboo insect larvae, which I peeled and knifed......"
The oil girl Haruki talked eloquently, but the five judges all felt that this guy's "peeling and changing the knife" was simply bad!
"Some people think that insects are disgusting, but I think they have their own unique flavors, don't they? For example, this bamboo insect is intoxicating with the sweetness of cream with a bamboo scent, isn't it? The Kino people in the Chinese nation have a tradition of using it as food! This is also the result of several generations of bamboo insects that I brought back during my study tour! Oil girl Haruki said.
"This ......" Koda and the other judges looked at each other, then nodded, and decided to "ignore" the origin of the meat as well!
After all, as Haruki said, the "bamboo insects" he uses are all tested, which are not only non-toxic and harmless, but also rich in protein, so ...... You can give points just for how delicious it is!
"Wait, what about this cheese...... And what kind of it? I have to say that you have a good control over it, obviously there is a fermented 'spicy' taste, far away, if you can't feel the bamboo fragrance, you will feel that the taste is too exciting, but when you get closer, it makes people feel that it is perfectly combined with the bamboo fragrance. Wade asked again.
Kada's face was a little strange, as if he already knew something......
"This is the result of my 'babies' fermentation!" I saw that Haruki the oil girl took out a transparent vial, which seemed to contain some kind of powder?
However, just after he shook it, the "powder" shook excessively, and it seemed to be ...... Living?
"It's ...... What the? Yuan Guo asked a little nervously.
Xiangtian spoke at this time: "Sure enough, it's 'Casumasu Cheese', right?" I tasted it once in Italy. ā
"Casumasu cheese? Wait a minute! Could it be the legendary ......?"
"Yes, using 'live fermented' feta milk cheese! The larvae of the casein fly are used to break down the raw material for fermenting Pecorino cheese in a special fermentation process! Koda said.
And at this time, the oil girl Haruki spoke again: "Don't worry, I have used all the 'treasures' after taking back all the 'treasures' with special insect repellent spices before!" And...... Look at how active they are, and you can see how fresh this casumasu is! Again, this is an ingredient that I made myself and passed the test! Well, judges, I hope you don't get confused by other psychological obstacles, stay true to your tongue and give a fair score! ā
The students who heard the conversation on the field had already "criticized" the oil girl Haruki......
"What? Sounds disgusting! Let's go down! ā
"Do you want to create your own research club? We're going to ban you from entering our research club! ā
"Is it necessary to score anything? I think I can just expel him from the field......"
"How can that stuff be delicious?"
Because of the sunglasses, I can only see the oil girl Haruki "expressionless", and I don't know if there is "nervousness" in his eyes.
And at this moment, the scores given by the five judges were displayed......
16 mins...... 17 min...... 17 min...... 18 min...... 16 points!
"84 points! appeared...... A real high score in this game! Surpassing Nao Sadazuka player, the annual oil girl Haruki player, temporarily tops the list! Yuai excitedly announced.
"W-What?"
"How is that possible?"
"Really...... Is it delicious? ā
The doubts of the students in the audience can't change the high score of the oil girl Haruki!
"I want to taste it for myself!" Sojin swallowed, his eyes shining.
Scarlet Shazi said: "But after all, it is a little niche, if it is not a professional gourmet, a chef, or a diner who likes insect cuisine, I am afraid ...... A lot of people won't be able to accept it! Sure enough, it's still Miss Erina's cooking, which is the most perfect! ā
"Huh? Do you know what Erina does? ā
"I don't know, but Erina-sama must be the most perfect!"
āā¦ā¦ā
And just when the oil girl Haruki took the opportunity to promote his "ingredient theory" and research club to the audience, Kaori Yamanaka, who had already walked behind him, poured cold water without hesitation: "Give up, your 'ingredients' are destined to only circulate in niche circles!" ā
At the same time, Kaori Yamanaka also presented her pizza......
Compared to Haruki Oil, the fillings used in Kaori's pizza are clear at a glance!
Among the light-colored cheeses, you can see a salmon-based filling!
In addition to this, there are fruits such as roasted dried banana slices and cherries......
"I'm sorry to hurt everyone, I've been hurt by someone, now it's up to me to let everyone relax with my 'Salmon Pizza'!" Yamanaka said with a comforting smile.
"Well, I do need to lighten up." Wade muttered.
At this time, Kaori Yamanaka was already laughing in her heart...... Really! Behind the oil girl, there is always this opportunity to add points to my "soul cooking"! After everyone's psychology was "shocked", I was able to realize the preciousness of my cuisine more and more! I'm already in the next city!
Thinking of this, she quietly glanced at Tian Sumi.
In her opinion, Megumi Tanzo must have wanted to present the food at this time, but she didn't get the opportunity......
However, he found that Tian Suhui did not look anxious at all, but comforted the oil girl Haruki who was passing by.
Hum! He's not a judge! Still acting? Kaori Yamanaka said secretly in her heart.
And just after the judges imported the seemingly ordinary "salmon pizza", even the audience saw the "weirdness......
"Have you noticed that the judges' expressions are suddenly much more 'peaceful'?"
"That's right...... Seems relaxed? ā
"It must be the reason for the 'Black Magic Girl' and the 'Bug Man' in front, right? Now finally there is a normal pizza......"
At the same time, a few top students, such as Erina and Oda Shinna, frowned and looked at the judges' seats.
"Kitchen heart? It doesn't seem like ......," Oda muttered.
"It's not a chef's heart, it's 'soul cooking', a long-lost skill, no less rare than 'chef'." Erina said.
Oda looked at her in disbelief, remembering rumors about the origin of the "Nagikiri clan...... actually recognized a memory that even she didn't know at a glance, is the rumor true?
"Mind...... Cuisine? The effect is similar to that of 'kitchen heart'? Oda Shinna asked generously for advice.
"It is said that the requirements for 'heart' are much lower than the real 'kitchen heart', because in ancient times, many spiritual chefs went astray and used hallucinogenic and even addictive illegal ingredients to cook, so they were collectively boycotted by the culinary world, and the ...... was lost for a time," Erina did not look at her, but she also said what she knew.
"Thanks for the answer."
Perhaps this is also a unique expression of pride for the two.
"I suddenly feel so peaceful!"
"Sure enough, it still felt a little 'awkward' before, right? But now I don't feel that way at all! ā
"It's a heartwarming meal!"
"And the deliciousness of the salmon is also combined with the sweetness of the fruit......
"This salmon must have been treated with diluted garlic juice, right? Even after baking, there is no fishy smell at all, but it is delicious and more prominent! ā
The judges sighed, but for some reason, Leonora didn't say anything this time......
Suddenly, Xiangtian also opened his squinted eyes slightly, and said: "I see, the cake base made of deep-sea salmon and whole wheat all has the trace element 'selenium', which has an effect similar to that of an antidepressant!" ā
Leonora also spoke at this time: "Not only that! The alkaloids in bananas and anthocyanins in cherries have an uplifting effect, garlic also has the effect of suppressing anger, and the cheese is specially selected to be fat-free to relieve tension and anxiety......"
"Huh? Why do you always feel that Lady Leonora is in a strange state? Scarlet muttered to herself.
Her good daughter Alice, unlike Scarlet, who pays more attention to "Miss Erina", has already gone to Area A to watch Liu Pleiades' game at this time, otherwise she may be able to see her mother's current state...... Exactly the excitement!
I saw that Leonora rarely took off her gentle and touching smile like a big sister next door, and replaced it with a more "cold" look......
"Soul Chef? What a nostalgia! ā
"Difficult, are you also ......" Kaori Yamanaka looked at Leonora in shock.
Suddenly, Leonora withdrew her previous cold expression and sharp eyes, and returned to her normal appearance.
"I guess it used to be! But then he let me know that there is no such thing as a chef who can really manipulate the mind, because the mind is a more complex thing! Leonora said with a girlish chuckle.
Yamanaka hesitated slightly, but then couldn't help but retort: "It doesn't exist? No! As long as you are a truly top-notch soul chef, you will definitely be able to do it! ā
Leonora didn't explain much, but shook her head, and then gave the score along with the other judges......
Another high score!
"79 points! The high score is back again! Kaori Yamanaka, temporarily ranked second! Yui Ai announced.
At this moment, Oda Shinna, dressed in a sexy version of the red kimono, seemed to be ready to present her pizza......
"It's time for you to know it's amazing...... Well? Oda Nobuna felt someone tugging at his clothes, and when he turned around, he found a blue-haired girl.
"Huh? Want to provoke? Oda Shinna looked at Megumi Tassoko with hanging eyes.
A sense of immediacy of a bad girl bullying a good female classmate.ć
Tian Sue was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
But after that, he was still timid, but he looked at Oda Shinna firmly and said, "But, can you let me deliver the pizza first?" ā
"Huh? You're really provocative...... No, is it because of what she said before? "Oda Shinna realized something.
"That's right! I want ...... Let Yamanaka-san understand that what chefs have to do is not to 'manipulate' the minds of diners......"
"Hey, you're really nosy...... Well, then let you go first! (To be continued.) )
