I was supposed to be a chef, but I asked someone else to taste the food.

Jiang Zhe and Kashiwazaki Tenma glanced at each other.

"How's that?" A hint of interest flashed in Nagi Senzaemon's eyes, "How about you both cook a dish for each other, and then taste it for each other and make an evaluation?" ”

“……”

Jiang Zhe and Erina were both stunned for a moment.

Erina was stunned because of the comment that Senzaemon said...... It's not a word that can be used by anyone, especially when it's aimed at Erina Nagikiri.

And Jiang Zhe was stunned......

What the hell is this about?!

"I ......," the teenager raised his hand to refuse.

But the food demon king cast a 'I'm optimistic about you' look: "Young man, you shouldn't know how to cook, right?" ”

"No ......"

"That's it, let's get started."

Senzaemon sat down majestically.

"The judge will be the old man himself!"

...... said, "I said, old man, you're going to make me feel a lot of stress like this."

"Are you okay?" Kashiwazaki Tenma glanced at Jiang Zhe.

"It's not a big deal." Jiang Zhe didn't care much.

But his appearance made Erina over there a little unhappy.

What does it mean to be a big deal?

I don't know why things came to be the way they are, but with the presence of Nagi Senzaemon, it's already the equivalent of a game.

That guy...... Does he know who he is facing?

It's not a big deal?!

"Give me the last of your ignorance." The girl snorted coldly and turned her head in the direction of the kitchen.

Jiang Zhe: "??? ”

I don't understand where I provoked this eldest lady again.

The boy looked at Kashiwazaki Tenma and Nagi Senzaemon over there in confusion, but all he got was two playful glances.

What the heck!

"Theme of the cuisine...... Let me think about it, just use spring, and the selected ingredient is fish. ”

After the old man finished speaking, his eyes fell on Erina over there.

At this moment, the eldest lady had already put on a chef's uniform, and after hearing Senzaemon's words, she began to frown and think.

It didn't take her a moment to think of the result.

I chose bonito as the main ingredient of the dish directly from the side.

As a country with abundant fish dishes, neon has the most suitable seafood for each month.

And bonito, which is the most popular fish in late winter and early spring, corresponds to April at this moment.

"......" Jiang Zhe shrugged.

Then he chose bonito, like the eldest lady.

However, when he made this move, the eyes of Senzaemon over there shrank for a moment.

Maybe even Erina didn't notice that when Jiang Zhe chose the ingredients, although he took it casually, the bonito he chose was even more high-quality than the girl's selection.

"Is it a coincidence?" The old man frowned.

Such a thought was overturned again when the two chose turnips.

Same action, same choice, but the boy chose to be better than Erina?

This surprised Senzaemon a little.

You must know that the choice of materials is completely based on eyesight and chef's experience, and Erina is definitely among the top in the world in this regard, even if he goes up in person, he can't do it better than Jiang Zhe at this moment.

"Interesting." A smile tugged at the corner of the old man's mouth.

Originally, the reason for this competition was just to let Jiang Zhe feel Erina's cooking skills, but he didn't expect him to see something more interesting.

What to say...... Is it worthy of being someone from the Jiang family's monster family?

One by one, they are definitely not normal people.

"What are you doing?" Erina also noticed Jiang Zhe's movements and couldn't help frowning.

"Cooking." Jiang Zhe shrugged with the ingredients in his hand.

“……”

Erina glanced at the ingredients he had chosen and the movements.

Exactly.

She didn't even feel the slightest difference in her movements when slicing with a kitchen knife, which gave her a very strange feeling, as if she was facing another self.

"Imitation?"

"You can think so, after all, I'm not very good at this."

Jiang Zhe didn't stop moving when he spoke, almost a moment before Erina was complete, and he ended it in the next second.

All the actions are exactly the same.

"Humph!"

The girl snorted coldly and ignored him no more.

If the cuisine can be excellent if it is imitated, then why are there so many rookies in this world?

Different people do the same thing, and this is the gap between chefs.

"Is it just a simple imitation?" Senzaemon's eyes narrowed.

He watched his granddaughter sprinkle a spoonful of seasoning, and then the next moment Jiang Zhe followed and sprinkled a spoonful of seasoning.

Wrong!

It's ...... Same?

It's not imitation, it's copying...... No, it's more likely that there will be optimizations!

Remembering the better ingredients that the boy had chosen when he chose the ingredients before, Nagi Senzaemon trembled a little, and looked at Jiang Zhe with a gaze like looking at a monster.

When Jiang Xuelin came into contact with him and proposed the concept of molecular gastronomy, he once felt that guy was already a monster.

Although it does not conform to the traditional concept of food when interpreting food scientifically, Nagi Senzaemon, who believes in the competition of hundreds of schools of thought and the contention of a hundred schools, does not oppose this practice, and even faintly encourages it.

That's why he has a good relationship with Jiang Xuelin.

And now, the guy's son...... It is possible to completely interpret and replicate the movements, and even optimize them in some aspects.

The Jiang family is really a pervert!

…………

Perfectly interpreted.

At this moment, Erina seems to be the best teacher in Jiang Zhe's eyes.

Her every movement slowed down infinitely in the boy's eyes, and then entered the supercomputer-like brain for rapid analysis and interpretation, and perfectly reproduced every detail on herself.

"4.5125417 grams of salt, starting from node 1 and ending at node 3 when added, going through the fourth, seventh, twelfth, and ...... The right-hand grip is used in a semi-circular motion at a speed of 0.241536m per second, and the specific trajectory is as follows......"

If this were an anime, then the boy should have countless numbers beating in his eyes at the moment.

At a glance, you can imprint all the specific data in your mind, and then start working.

Jiang Zhe, who is going all out, is the most sophisticated computer, using a terrifying state unimaginable to reproduce data perfectly.

"I'm done!"

"I'm done!"

A moment later, two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Erina frowned slightly, looking at the figure over there who also took off her chef's hat.

Just now she was immersed in the cooking and didn't pay attention to the other party.

But even so, the girl could still feel the teenager's gaze falling on her from time to time.

This guy ...... What exactly are you playing?
