"It's mushroom soup stock again...... When it comes to vegetarian soup, the mushroom stock and kombu stock are the easiest to think of...... Wait a minute! No, this ramen is ...... Contestant No. 94, please prepare four more servings of ramen! ”

"Huh? Do you want to enter the stage of collective review? ”

"It smells good, and it's really not a level ...... with other mushroom soup noodles."

"She uses wild mountain mushrooms, and ...... In the noodles, I put the grain which I combined with the fungus! ”

"Goose egg mushroom, pearl mushroom, leg fungus, shimeji mushroom, white rooster, pine fungus, amari mushroom...... Not only the soup, but also the toppings are boiled or roasted mushrooms, and the side dishes are pickled, and they form a perfect circuit with each other! ”

"And...... The soup has a very strong feeling, but the taste should not be creamy or anything like that, and the theme is not allowed......"

Standing in front of the five judges was Yuhime, who was listening to the "mountain mushroom ramen" praising herself, and had an innocent smile on her face, who replied, "Of course! I added a powdered yam to it, so it has a heavy feeling, and the sweetness of the yam can also balance the jerkiness of the mountain mushrooms! ”

The five judges looked at each other: "Good! I can't imagine that there are players like you in the second division...... Considering your age, this is your first time racing, right? ”

"That's right, I'm a student of Yuanyue Academy, and this is also my grade assessment!"

"Far Moon Academy...... Not a professional ramen noodle chef? There were some students from Yuanyue who passed before, but your ramen is more delicious than them, and there are two Ten Masters in the No. 1 Division, right? You're going to be promoted to Top 10 after the grade assessment, right? After learning that Yuhime was a student of Enzuki and not a descendant of a specialized ramen restaurant, the judges couldn't help but ask tentatively in surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yuhime stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Although I'm glad that you say that, and my goal is indeed to be ten masters, but if you want to say that you can directly be promoted to ten masters...... I'm afraid some people will be dissatisfied later! As he spoke, he glanced back at Jun Ibu and Nao Sadazuka in the same division.

"What? You're too modest, aren't you? Could it be that in this division, there is a successor to the Ten Masters? ”

If he said that he was a "competitor of the Ten Masters", Yuhime would admit it ruthlessly, but said that he was a "successor"...... Yuhime didn't swell so much, but seeing that the judges didn't believe it much, she didn't explain much, and just said, "Hehe, you'll know later, just take it as a surprise of the cooking......"

"Okay...... Ninety-four player Yuhime Ino passes! The judges of Division 2 announced.

At the same time, in the third field, the judges were also immersed in the soup of the sea mushroom ramen......

"Sure enough...... Is it sea mushroom stock? It's hard to find such a rare ingredient! ”

"It's true that I've only tasted it a few times...... As a pure wild deep-sea plant that cannot be cultivated, it is only found on the south coast of Chile in South America, and it can only be harvested after five years of growth, and the export is limited to 300 tons per year......"

Hearing what the judges said, the other contestants couldn't help but mutter, obviously thinking that this "big dog" who killed Matt's hairstyle was suspected of advancing by virtue of the rarity of ingredients.

And just when they began to whisper complaints, the big dog who killed Matt's hairstyle tied the headscarf on his wrist to his head......

Then he turned around and glanced at them with extreme contempt and said, "You trash, what are you making noise about me, if you are not satisfied, go find me the sea mushroom yourself!" It's just that this kind of precious ingredient that limits the output is just a waste if it is handed over to you garbage! As he spoke, he still opened his teeth and claws and curled his tongue.

After being stunned for a moment, the other contestants immediately fried the pot, but fortunately, at this moment, the judge in the center also said: "Silence! The mushroom itself complies with the theme restrictions and is not violated...... And it is true that as contestant No. 77 said, sea mushrooms are not easy to cook, and being able to control them in the form of 'soup' already speaks for itself......"

That's right, it was Ryo Kurokiba who killed Matt, and just as the judges were speaking for him, Kurokiba walked up to him and slapped the table......

"Hey! You haven't tasted my toppings yet, have you? How long are you ready to nag and chatter? Yes? ”

The judges were also taken aback by him, it was the first time I had seen such a "personal" contestant...... Looks like he's still a student of Yuanyue, right? How did you not get expelled?

However, he did have some curiosity about the toppings, which were black and cylindrical, with each section about the length of a little finger and two circles thinner than a little finger......

Several judges were caught up by each of them under the "suggestion" of Ryo Kurokiba.

At the moment of chewing in the mouth, the crisp sound of "squeak" came out from the lips and teeth of the judges!

The sweet and sour taste and crispy texture are a wonderful match with the umami of the previous mushroom soup and the soft texture of the wide noodles!

"It's ......"

"It looks like ice bamboo shoots, I ate them once two years ago, but at that time they were served as cold dishes." Another judge said.

"Ice shoots? In other words, it should be a 'neighbor' with the sea mushroom? ”

"That's right, ice shoots are usually produced on the Chilean island of Zilo, close to Antarctica, and live in seawater with a minimum of 4 degrees Celsius......"

"I didn't expect that we also have a successor to the top ten in the No. 3 arena...... When school starts next year, you will be the next top ten, right? The judges sighed.

"Hahaha, you old man is quite eye-catching! Uncle Ben will definitely win the first seat next year! ”

Compared to Yuhime, Kurokiba doesn't seem to know what "modesty" is.

Of course, the judges didn't take it seriously this time, after all, his attitude was "mouth cannon" at a glance, and the last time a second-year student held the first seat, it was when Nagi cut this thistle was reading twenty years ago! These judges have not even heard of the fact that there are sophomores who hold the first seat......

"......Shh

A faint sound of disdain came from the room, but Kurokiba immediately heard who the voice was, and turned his head to see a white-haired, brown-skinned young man leaning against his cooking table......

After the judges announced that "Ryo Kurokiba, the 77th contestant", Kurokiba put his face close to the judge in the middle and said, "Wait a favor for me, you are all foodies, right?" Use your tongues to judge Uncle Ben well, who is more delicious between me and that guy's food! ”

That's right, "that guy" is naturally Ryo Hayama, who is also from Yuanyue Academy, and he happens to be in the No. 3 division with Kurokiba, except for the No. 1 division, the other nine divisions seem to be randomly assigned.

It also happened that the Aldini brothers were assigned to Division 4......

This time, the younger brother Isami used a three-layer structure with a layer of cheese in the onion soup base, while the older brother Takmi used a tomato soup base, and the toppings were small "calzone" filled with bell peppers and black olives, which is a pizza that looks like a dumpling.

That's right, the creativity of the two is mixed with the essence of each other's "autumn tryouts......

At the preliminaries of the autumn audition, Takmi presented curry noodles with a three-layer structure, while Isami made a curry calzone with tomato juice as the base of the soup!

At this time, they also won a place in the finals......

In the No. 5 division, Miyoko Hojo presented the pot lid noodles from the "Ten Chinese Noodles", which is not the form of "ramen" in Chinese cuisine if you think carefully.

However, in island countries, "ramen" is a transliteration, and it does not actually correspond to the "ramen" of Chinese cuisine.

Originally, it was a transliteration of "soup noodles" in Chinese cuisine, and then when it was transliterated back to Chinese, it became "ramen", and it is generally believed that the "soup noodles" that were first introduced to the island country should be "old noodles" or "lo noodles" or "lo noodles", so it is transliterated as the pronunciation of "ramen" Chinese the island now......

Later, because Japanese ramen came out of its own unique style, that is, "heavy soup is not heavy noodles", which is different from Chinese noodle soup, it became a proper noun, and when it was transliterated again, it became "ramen".

In fact, the noodle soup that was first introduced to the island country was supposed to be "Nanjing noodles", and it was not ramen......

Therefore, the so-called "Sapporo Ramen Contest" can be regarded as the "Sapporo Noodle Soup Contest", and "pull" does not use verbs, for example, most of the contestants nowadays also prepare special noodle machines, and some use the method of cutting noodles......

On the other hand, "Nabe lid noodles" are similar to "Japanese ramen" in terms of the method of making the noodles themselves, and they are both "cut noodles" in which the noodles are rolled out into sheets and then cut into thin strips.

Even Chinese ramen is no longer called "ramen" because it is no longer used in the form of "pulling" noodles by hand.

Of course, there are also real "pulled" noodles, such as the "Enma King Ramen" that Liu Pleiades tasted, which was really "pulled" by Joichiro (of course, it was pulled by hand!). ）。

It is precisely for this reason that Liu Pleiades did not know enough about Japanese ramen at the beginning, and instinctively imagined Japanese ramen, which sounded very similar to "ramen", as Chinese ramen......

After all, this kind of common-sense problem is impossible for Yuanyue Academy to emphasize when it is in the Higher Division...... Even the elementary department probably doesn't specifically record this kind of thing, because the "ramen" they call is "soup noodles", and it is only katakana when written in the island language, not hiragana transformed from kanji, and it does not mean "pull" in the first place, so it does not need special emphasis.

Therefore, there is no problem with the use of "pot lid noodles", which also belongs to soup noodles, and no one can refute anything in the island country insisting that it is a type of "ramen", but compared with ramen in the traditional sense, "pot lid noodles" has one biggest difference, that is, its noodles are cooked in soup.

Whether it is Japanese ramen or Chinese ramen, most of them are boiled in water, cooked and then added to the soup.

Pot lid noodles, as the name suggests...... That's right, I really put the lid in the noodle soup and boiled it!

Speaking of origins, like most dishes, they all originated from "accidents......

Once, the chef accidentally used the wrong pot lid and threw the small pot lid directly into the boiling noodle soup, so there was a "pot lid noodles"!

Of course, it wasn't the metal lid that was thrown in, but the old-fashioned disc-shaped wooden lid of Chinese cuisine.

It is generally believed that when the wooden lid floats in the noodle soup, the aroma of the wood will enter the soup, and because it is not much smaller than the pot lid, as long as the fire is pressed, the boiling of the noodle soup can be controlled to a certain extent, and the breathability of the noodle can be maintained, and the noodles are not easy to boil......

And the "wooden pot lid" that Miyoko Hojo uses now, or a cake-shaped driftwood pressed into the noodle soup, is specially made at her family's Chinese restaurant!

The whole is made of agarwood material......

In addition to being a precious wood, agarwood itself is also a traditional Chinese medicine and spice. Stand up for me! However, most agarwood is less dense than water.

Miyoko Hojo's secret "pot lid" was soaked and smoked in the secret spice recipe before it was put into use!

In addition to the secret "pot lid", pure vegetable oil is also prepared to fry the green onion for 20 minutes until the green onion is completely dry, and then the green onion oil and green onion are added to the white water, and then the sugar is added to the low heat......

When it's time for her, the thinly chopped noodles are poured into the water along with the secret "pot lid", and when the noodles are cooked, they are served in a bowl with soy sauce and garlic sauce, and the toppings are just freshly cut cucumber shreds!

In short, Miyoko Hojo's cooking process was "full of twists and turns", and she was first thought to be making soy sauce...... And he is also the least serious of the players who play soy sauce!

After all, in the eyes of the judges and other contestants, her soup base only has green onions and scallion oil......

The toppings are just shredded cucumbers, and they are simply shredded cucumbers, and nothing else is done......

And that pot lid ...... Why bring your own? And with the wrong size? What the hell is it to throw the lid in directly!

After all, "pot lid noodles" are not common in island countries, and most of the only restaurants that offer pot lid noodles also use other means to replace the most primitive way of throwing "pot cover" directly into the soup.

Miyoko Hojo is like this, because she is "the most distracted", and among hundreds of people, she has attracted the attention of the referee and other players......

But when the tasting session arrived, Miyoko Hojo's "green onion section soy sauce garlic noodles" made the judges, who were originally quite impatient with her, indulge in the unique fragrance at the same time, but also shocked for a long time without speaking!

Later, the judges debated whether the use of the secret recipe "pot lid" was regarded as the use of prohibited semi-finished products......

If it was just a wooden agarwood lid, it would definitely not be a semi-finished product, but Miyoko herself explained that this lid was "secret......

Obviously, there was no "forbidden to use the secret pot lid" before the competition, and Miyoko didn't use it secretly, but in everyone's attention, she threw the pot lid in, and since it wasn't stopped before, it seems that there is no reason to think that it is cheating now.

And whether this pot lid is a kitchenware or a secret spice mix is also controversial.

In the end, because Miyoko Hojo directly promised that she would not use this secret "pot lid" in the finals, the judges announced her approval.

As for the next competition, it is estimated that there will be certain requirements for "kitchen utensils......

If the pot lid noodles of Miyoko Hojo are entangled by the judges, then the gloom of the No. 6 competition area almost made the judges think that there was a problem with the pre-competition inspection!

Because on the "Dongpo Meat Ramen" she presented, there were a few pieces of moderately fat and skinny Dongpo meat on the straight side, and the whole bowl of ramen had a tangy meaty taste......

The other players couldn't help but talk about it, if it was "cheating", then this is too bold, right? Directly put Dongpo meat in front of the judges?

"Please taste it! My 'Dongpo Meat Ramen'! ”

The five judges looked at each other, and then at the same time at the referee who was in charge of supervising Yu Mei's area......

If the inspectors of the ingredients were negligent when entering the venue, it is impossible for the referee not to find out, right?

But I only saw the referee, who shrugged his shoulders at the five judges with a strange face......

Although I really wanted to ask him when he was blind, out of professionalism, he still forcibly hypnotized himself, ignored those pieces of Dongpo meat, and tasted the noodles themselves!

At the moment when the noodles dipped in the soup were in the mouth, the eyes of the five judges widened at the same time, and immediately, as if instinctively, they tasted the soup with a spoon, and after tasting the soup, they couldn't help but naturally pick up a piece of Dongpo meat that was still trembling......

"This rich meaty flavor...... Straight to the nose! ”

"That's right, it's like real Dongpo meat."

"But if you taste it carefully, it should be...... Yam and dried tofu, right? ”

Yu Mei saw the reaction of the judges and explained it with satisfaction.

Those Dongpo meats that look fat, lean, and full of skin are actually yams and dried tofu!

The skin and fat are made by boiling and peeling the yam puree, mixed with honey, sesame oil, salt, soy sauce, ginger juice and other spices......

The skin is the result of a small amount of "mixture" spread on an iron plate and fried in soy sauce, while the fatty part is steamed again with a mixture of lumps in a mold.

As for the lean part, it is steamed in a mold with the "fat" and finally covered with the "skin......

And the Dongpo meat that originally needed to be sugared, because of the honey in the "fat" and "skin", there is no need to put additional sugar, and other cooking steps, Yu Mei also stayed up late last night to improve!

Although it can't be called fake, at least Yu Mei has the confidence that her "Dongpo meat", even if she blindfolds ordinary people and hands over this "Dongpo meat", the other party will definitely be able to taste what she wants to make "Dongpo meat", but the taste is a little strange......

But it's definitely not bad, it's just obviously different from the real Dongpo meat.

As for the noodles and soup, Yu Mei has also specially designed them, but the role played is completely the supporting role of "Dongpo Meat", that is, the role of arousing the appetite of the judges!

"But...... It's a ramen contest after all......," one of the judges looked a little hesitant.

Although this was the first dish in Division 6 that made him feel "delicious", from the perspective of "ramen", this topping was too show-stealing, right?

"No, we don't care what kind of contest it is, since it follows the rules, it's 'ramen', and the soup and toppings are vegetarian, we just care if it's 'delicious'!" The judge sitting in the middle said conclusively.

"Division 6, Player 114 Mito Yumei, pass!"

In the No. 7 division, the fragrance of medicine is fragrant, and it has been the turn of the No. 139 player, and so far he has passed a full sixty-nine!

For a region other than No. 1, it's incredible to have such a pass rate......

And what created this incredible thing is the scarlet sand that appeared on the eleventh!

An appetizing and spleen-strengthening therapeutic soup base, coupled with noodles kneaded with plums, made the judges' appetite a little better than usual, and their taste was more sensitive to "deliciousness", which can be called a full-scale assist!

In the eighth division, the faces of the five judges were slightly flushed...... That's right, it's similar to the flush of drunkenness!

Standing in front of them was Ryoko Sakaki, who had long burgundy hair, a special alcohol-fermented soup, and noodles mixed with a small amount of beast rice, so that the judges only felt the warmth of their stomachs while enjoying the nerve stimulation brought by alcohol, and did not bring unnecessary burdens......

Kohei Soma in the No. 9 Division, probably for another form of "Ichiyuki Shame", treats the theme of "vegetarian soup toppings", and does not choose the same "Enma King Ramen" as Joichiro.

You must know that after the "True Father and Son Bureau" between the two, Sojin humbly asked Joichiro for advice on how to make "Enma King Ramen", but what he made now is a fruity ramen that surprised the judges!

A small amount of apple cider vinegar is also kneaded into the noodles, and the soup is also made with fruit as the main ingredient......

It's as if he wants to justify his "apple risotto......

In the No. 10 division, Alice is bringing the "shadowless noodles" made of "molecular cuisine" to the judges!

Previously, after Liu Pleiades defeated Takmi with an enhanced version of five-kernel mooncakes in the first match of the autumn selection competition, Alice noticed the transparent skin of the mooncakes.

Although Liu Pleiades can pull the mixture of flour and sweet potato powder into a transparent state and control, Alice can do it more conveniently with "molecular cuisine"!

In the soup, Alice uses depigmented ingredients that have been layered by centrifugation, and edible pearl powder to create a "Crystal Love Ramen" that looks shiny and clear at the same time, and at first glance you don't see the noodles in the soup......

This year's "Sapporo Ramen Contest" has obviously become complicated because of the participation of 99 first-year students from Engetsu Gakuin!

The last nine divisions outside the No. 1 division also have frequent dark horses......

However, this is still not enough to steal the limelight from Division 1, especially now...... No. 98 Shiratori Iris presented her "ramen" to the judges, and many contestants who wanted to take advantage of the fame of Hinata Ramen couldn't help but focus their attention...... (To be continued.) )
