Chapter 272: Debunking (Great Fog) (2-in-1)

Two days have passed since the preliminaries, and the next night, when Liu Pleiades left the restaurant building of the Hokkaido branch and walked to the hotel opposite, he turned around and said, "Everyone's momentum has been good in the past two days!" There is always a light in the cooking room, and it stays on all night......"

Of course, among the remaining more than 80 students, absolutely no one wants to fail the assessment because of their slackness at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info," Erina said.

At this time, Scarlet Sand, Erina and Liu Pleiades are returning to the hotel together......

Scarlet Shazi interjected at this time: "Counting Ah Xing and Miss Erina, a total of 87 students in the class of 92 have entered the second year, which is better than last year." ā€

"If it weren't for the 'Central Gastronomy Agency', I'm afraid the number of second-year students this year would have broken through to triple digits...... But there is no pity, on the contrary, I am a little glad that those wastes who do not have a firm stance have chosen to 'quit' by themselves, so as not to waste resources! You must know that the average investment of the college in each second-year student will definitely be more than ten times that of a first-year student. Erina still looks cold.

Indeed, many students who pass and fail in cooking skills have joined the "Central Gastronomy Agency", otherwise if more than 200 people participate in the assessment, Erina thinks that it is possible for 30 or 40 more people to pass......

But as she said, it's not a pity, because you'll be lured away, and you're not psychologically conscious of becoming a really powerful cook, and it's not the type that Enzuki wants to cultivate!

"By the way, when are you going to go to the preparation area tomorrow?" Erina asked Liu Pleiades.

The official competition starts at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, and the time limit is still three hours, but you can go to the venue not far in advance, and the organizer provides a preparation area for the preparation of "semi-finished products" such as dashi that need to be completed in advance.

In the finals, the control of "semi-finished products" is extremely strict, and in the preliminaries, you can bring some soup stock and the like, but in the finals, you must use the most original ingredients and spices to cook......

After all, there is no theme for the finals themselves, and if there are restrictions, I am afraid that many ramen restaurant heirs will bring the broth of their ramen restaurant directly to their home, and then only cook some noodles and plate them.

In this way, the original meaning of the contest will be changed, and it will become a simple recipe for a ramen restaurant, and the age limit for the contestants will also become an ornament......

What does age have to do with cooking noodles and serving them? If you don't put any restrictions, it doesn't matter how old the person is!

Therefore, it is stipulated that if you want to carry out any form of pre-treatment, it must be carried out in the venue provided by the organizer.

There is also a competition to simply test the signature recipes of each ramen restaurant, that is, the "Ramen Street Store Dispute", which is held once every three years, and will be even more fierce than the current competition in the youth category.

The current Sapporo Ramen Contest itself is designed to motivate young ramen chefs, so they try to do it themselves as much as possible in the finals......

Of course, some alcoholic beverages that have been produced for several years or even decades can be brought directly into the venue.

The first is that those things cannot be done on site, and the second is that the production cycle of "semi-finished products" is usually strict and not difficult, and most importantly, ...... The use of this kind of "semi-finished product" will be very difficult to determine, and it is in itself a reflection of the player's own ability.

On top of that, they make the soup stock on the spot, and three days is enough.

It is for this reason that in the restaurant of the Hokkaido branch, the students of the Engetsu students are fighting day and night, preparing to come up with the ramen that they have earned for a year in the finals, and the contestants other than the Enzuki students rarely come here.

On the first day after the end of the preliminaries, there were still some players who came to practice, and from the beginning of the afternoon, there were almost no outsiders......

On the one hand, the reason is that the other contestants have already decided what ramen to use in the finals, and there is no need to innovate anything on their own, and on the other hand, a large number of contestants entered the cooking hall in the preparation area yesterday or even the night after the preliminaries and began to prepare for the final ramen.

Fortunately, the organizers are also prepared, in the morning before the start of the finals, in the waiting area for the preparation of semi-finished products, such as broth, the competition party will save on behalf of the competition, at the beginning of the finals, the contestants in their own arena, will see the semi-finished products prepared by themselves in the past few days......

At this time, the morning time can give the players a self-rest.

Otherwise, you must know that in the finals, as in the "Hokkaido Seafood and Pastry Contest", there will be a lot of spectators present, and if you look at the contestants who have been fighting for three days and three nights, with red eyes and stubble, I am afraid that it will be a little embarrassing......

Although many chefs can shave themselves with kitchen knives, the more passionate they are about cooking, the less likely they are to do so!

Although they don't have ready-made recipes, there must be some things that need to be prepared in advance, because of the special nature of the competition, so the control of semi-finished products in the final of the "Sapporo Ramen Competition" is too strict......

"My words...... Probably tomorrow after lunch! It is said that after entering the preparation area, you will have to prepare your own food. And Sapporo Ramen Street, there is still a small section of the last section, I will go after the 'sweep'. Liu Pleiades said.

Erina rolled her eyes and said, "You can really eat!" Sapporo Ramen Street is a competition among the thousands of ramen restaurants in Sapporo every three years, and the top 100 shops can settle in...... In other words, it only took you two and a half days to taste the ramen of 100 ramen restaurants? ā€

The reason why he still comes to the restaurant every day is mostly because of the ramen shops on Sapporo No. 1 Ramen Street, although the business hours are relatively fixed every day because of the rules of the sidewalk, there are few that are open for more than six hours a day, and most of them are closed in the afternoon......

"Not anymore...... I only tasted three or five kinds of signature ramen from each house! And thanks to the cooperation of many ramen restaurant owners...... "Liu Pleiades said modestly".

Nonsense! If every ramen restaurant sweeps the menu, the ramen shop masters will be frightened!

Even now, each ramen shop tastes three or five kinds of ramen, and many ramen masters will be willing to cooperate with him to make as small a bowl of ramen as possible after knowing Liu Pleias's identity, but what Liu Pleiades has eaten in the past two and a half days is definitely equivalent to the amount of food for fifteen big men in three days!

In the "Sapporo Ramen Street", there is already a legend of the "Big Stomach......

Especially when the masters of the ramen street talked about it to each other, and then found that the "big stomach" Liu Pleiades actually "swept" his own ramen shop and patronized the shop next to him, these masters were even more shocked.

When Liu Pleiades took care of the first one, he was given a chart, and after each meal, the boss would stamp a seal in the corresponding position of the chart, and a total of 100 seal slots were almost collected......

This also means that Liu Pleiades is now close to achieving the achievement of tasting the signature noodles of all ramen restaurants in "Sapporo Ramen Street"!

Liu Pleiades looked at the almost full chart and said secretly: This kind of almost zero-cost activity can indeed mobilize people's "vanity" more......

There are also many old gluttons who will "stay" in Sapporo for a period of time in order to make this achievement, and the successful ones among them often take two or three months......

Of course, Liu Pleiades is not to make up the chart, but to absorb "nutrients"!

"Scarlet Shazi and I should go to the preparation area every morning, you can cheer yourself! Don't forget about your bet with other people, there are 92 people in the finals in the first division, in addition to me and Shiratori Calamus, there are 89 people who have bets with you, you spend every day in Ramen Street these days, right? When I was in the cooking room, I was just doing knife exercises over and over again, but did I think about what ramen to use in the finals? Be careful not to really lose to anyone other than me! Erina said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hahaha, don't worry...... Anyway, the bet contract has already been taken by Senior Dojima! Ahem, I mean, I'm ready! Liu Pleiades said.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Seeing that Erina was still suspicious, Liu Pleiades added: "Don't worry, I'm ready...... But it's not 'ramen'! ā€

"Not ramen?" Erina muttered, but Liu didn't explain much.

In fact, according to the positioning of "Japanese-style ramen", Liu Pleiades's "Guanyin Sitting Lotus Noodles" cannot be completely regarded as "Japanese-style ramen", although his dragon beard noodles are really "pulled", but "Japanese-style ramen" has nothing to do with "pulling", mainly referring to "hot soup noodles"!

And Liu Pleiaus's "Guanyin Sitting Lotus Noodles" is a cold soup noodle......

"It's okay to have other types of noodles, such as mixed noodles, cold noodles, and lo mein, but in the finals, half of the 10 judges are usually masters of the Sapporo Ramen Street, and they are not very receptive to other types of noodles.

And because they are not gourmets, but simple cooks, or ramen chefs, there is no doubt about their professionalism when rating 'ramen', but once 'ramen' is compared to other dishes, their subjective will will definitely be uncontrollable! Erina reminded.

"That's how I show my strength! And...... I'm sure the judges will agree with my ramen. Liu Pleiades said confidently.

Erina also knows that Liu Pleiades doesn't need others to worry about this aspect, and since she has already chosen her appearance, I'm afraid she won't give up because of someone else's words.

"Well, then let's see which one is more stubborn, you or them......"

On the third day, after completely "conquering" Sapporo Ramen Street according to the original plan, Liu Pleiades entered the preparation area with various ingredients that needed to be pushed forward by using a trolley, which seemed to be more than ten times more than the amount of ten ramen.

The supervisors of this competition are no longer surprised, and the ingredients brought by the other players seem to be excessive, but Liu Pleiades is the most exaggerated among all the players.

And what Liu Pleiades brought in was not only the ingredients, otherwise even if it was more than 100 servings, he couldn't bring them in directly, the most important thing was that he also brought a lot of tools to modify the cooking table, as well as steel plates, steel bars and the like, and the most eye-catching was four glass plates as big as the wall!

When Liu Pleiades carried these by himself and fixed them around the cooking table, he couldn't help but attract the attention of many inspectors and other players in the same field.

Among them, some of them were Yuanyue students who were assigned to a cooking room, and at this time, they also didn't know what Liu Pleiades was doing, and they were so troubled......

However, some students can't help but think of the special "cooking table" of Liu Pleiades in the finals of the "Autumn Trials"!

When the people on the race side checked the ingredients he carried, Liu Pleiades also went to modify his cooking table first!

He can then apply to swap his modified preparation table with his cooking table before the finals......

"Isn't this modified size beyond the red line around here?" Liu Pleiades and the staff confirmed once.

There is also a red line around each counter, which is much larger than the counter itself, and the maximum area of the counter can be renovated or large-scale equipment added......

For the next 18 hours, Liu transformed his cooking table, preparing various sauces and "pre-processing" many auxiliary ingredients, such as dicing and mincing.

That's right, it's a sauce, not a soup!

And it seems, there is more than one sauce?

Until 6 a.m. on the day of the competition, the results of the players' "pre-processing" will be mothballed, and if they need to use a modified cooking table, or if there is additional large equipment to be used, the staff of the competition team will transfer these to the field.

Players can take a break and adjust their mental state, and in four hours, the game will officially begin!

Although the Sapporo Ramen Contest is only a competition for the youth category, the final is held every year at the largest square in Sapporo to reflect the importance that Sapporo's organizers place on the youth power of ramen culture......

A few days before the start of the race, a wind-proof curtain will be erected around the plaza, and a proposed spectator seat will be erected around it, with the players' cooking table in the center of the plaza.

Sapporo people are also familiar with this arrangement, because not only the "Sapporo Ramen Contest" but also the "Sapporo Ramen Street Store Dispute" is held here every three years......

The latter lasts for a week at a time, in a similar format to the "Gakuen Festival" of Engetsu Academy, and is carried out in a business mode, and finally the top 100 will be determined by the final number of tokens, and they will have the right to rent a store in the "Sapporo No. 1 Ramen Street" for the next three years.

The Sapporo Ramen Contest is usually held twice every three years by the descendants of the ramen shops in Sapporo's No. 1 Ramen Street or the shops of strong competitors, and disputes are held at the same time in the third year.

If a previously unknown ramen shop suddenly achieves very good results in the Sapporo Ramen Contest, it will be seen as a sign that it is about to rise and become a strong contender in the "Ramen Street Store Dispute"!

First, because the results of the "Sapporo Ramen Competition" will definitely mean that the store has made great progress in terms of recipes, and the second reason is that the results of the "Sapporo Ramen Competition" will be a shortcut to everyone's attention during the "Ramen Street Store Competition" held every three years.

For example, if a contestant from a shop other than "No. 1 Ramen Street" suddenly wins the championship, there will definitely be many diners who will be willing to visit their stall when the "Ramen Street Store Dispute" begins next year.

At the same time, this is also a spur for the ramen shops that are already in Sapporo No. 1 Ramen Street, if they don't pay attention to the innovative thinking of young people, they will be eliminated in the preliminary round, which will hurt their popularity!

However, in order to arouse everyone's enthusiasm even more, the "Sapporo Ramen Contest" is a youth competition, and the competition party also accepts applications from ramen shops in other regions and private players.

That's why all the first-year students of Yuanyue College signed up this time, and as Liu Pleiades expected, the number of people who entered the finals this year broke the record of nearly ten sessions, and there were 292 people on the same stage for the finals!

Nearly 30% of them are annual students of the 92nd class of Yuanyue......

I have to say that in the preliminaries, when this kind of on-the-spot creative ability is tested, the students of Yuanyue have a great advantage even if they are about five years older than themselves on average, and they are in the other party's good projects!

Even in the preliminaries, many judges found that not to mention the "monsters" of the Ten Masters, there are also many staggering "little monsters" under the Ten Masterpieces......

Of course, in the final, the judges were still not optimistic about them.

Because if in the preliminaries, they were fighting against professional ramen chefs who are five years older than the average age, then in the finals, they are fighting against many long-established restaurants!

Although most of these young players are unlikely to be able to perfectly reproduce the secret ramen at home, only six or seven points are not comparable to the innovative achievements of these non-professional ramen chefs in a few days......

Because it was a commercial purpose competition, the opening ceremony was far more fancy than the competition inside the Far Moon Academy.

As soon as it came up, it was a group of sexy ramen babes who twisted it for a while......

The emcee who appeared after that is also a charming royal sister, although she is dressed very conservatively, but her mind is estimated to have e!

The excitement shown by the boys of Yuanyue Academy made Kawashima Rei particularly unhappy......

"Dear live ramen lovers, ramen lovers in front of the TV, ramen lovers on the webcast platform! Do you miss Nono? If you want to think of me, you can come to No. 1 Ramen Street to participate in the 'Ramen Taste Event' or the 'Big Stomach' event, collect the badges of all the shops in Ramen Street, and you can have dinner with Nono! ā€

I have to say that compared with her "predecessors", Rei Kawashima is still far from her professional skills such as the super hot atmosphere when serving as the emcee, the grasp of timing, and her personal temperament.

But at the same time, I have to say that the event of "Dinner with Nono" is too undisciplined!

The Big Stomach campaign is to eat the enlarged version of the signature noodles of ten ramen street shops in one breath, and in addition to the "talented" ones like Liu Pleiades, even if you bring in someone from the Sumo Hot Pot Research Society, you may not be able to complete it......

As for the "Ramen Taste" activity, it is similar to what Liu Pleiades has done in the past three days, and it seems that it doesn't cost any money, but in fact, "normal people" want to complete it, even if they eat ramen every day, it will take three months!

While the ramen is delicious, most of the ramen is very affordable, but if you live in one place for three months, you must have a lot of money, and if you live in Sapporo for three months in a row, how much can you spend?

Just give this "Nono" a little appearance fee, and let her accompany her to a high-end candlelight dinner! The person planning this kind of event must be very smart......

Of course, now Liu Pleiades just wants to fool this planner!

The next time you do this kind of event, why not put up posters at all the ramen shops?

That's right, Liu Pleiades has already reached the "Ramen Taste" activity without knowing it, although he also learned what the seals given to him by the ramen boss were made after listening to Nuono's opening remarks!

It's no wonder that some bosses smile weirdly when they look at themselves......

Even if Liu Pleiades doesn't turn his head to look now, he can feel a few more lines of sight, looking at himself with "bad intentions"......

It's as if he has exposed the real reason why he has been eating ramen for the past three days......

Just when Liu Pleiades was about to pretend that he didn't know anything, Nuo Nuo said on the court again: "Hehe, there seems to be one of the players in today's competition who has completed the 'Ramen Taste Everywhere' activity, and he is one of the top ten students of Yuanyue Academy!" Let's do it first! No matter what results you get in the future, Sister Nuno will accompany you to celebrate at night! ā€

For a while, countless eyes were cast at Liu Pleiasia, and the vicious gaze that was already aimed at him seemed to be more aggressive!

Liu Pleiades stiffly hooked the corners of his mouth and said secretly: What a disaster!

Why does everyone know that it is Liu Pleiasia? Nonsense! The ten masters of Yuanyue Academy, if it's not Liu Pleiades, can it still be Erina? What kind of brain hole does it take to think that Erina will go to "have dinner with Nono" and sweep Ramen Street for three days in a row?

Besides, seeing that from the very beginning, Erina stared at Liu Pleiades with "unkind eyes", and she was able to guess something, right?

For a while, the local players in Sapporo couldn't help but sigh and be unhappy with Liu Pleias, lamenting that the amount of food in this house was so large, and the goal was achieved in three days! Although many of them came from ramen street shops, they only found out about it now because they had been preparing for the competition for two or three days......

What's not only unpleasant is that this product not only wants to compete in everyone's best "ramen", but even Sapporo's "ramen baby queen" wants to soak?

As for the players of Yuanyue Academy, they are already used to it, no matter how much food he eats, or this kind of "quality" of attracting bees and butterflies wherever he goes, and deserving of walking at night and being covered with sacks...... (To be continued.) )
