Turn back a little bit of time.

While Natsume Poetry and Suzuka were exploring in the Adventure House of the Mystery Research Department.

Qiao Qiao is in the playground not far away.

The sign for the cooking conference has been hung up on the rostrum.

On the judges' bench, in addition to the people of the cooking research group, there was also Chairman Masaharu Ii.

"Qiang Qiang, this time, our cooking research group has invited President Jing Yi as a special guest judge and commentator, and the long-awaited Peak City Festival Cooking Conference is opening at this moment."

The culinary workshop is in charge of explaining Kazuya Sakamoto.

This guy.,It seems that the comics you've been reading lately are a little wrong.。

Qiao Qiao stood under the stage, a little worried.

As the name suggests, the cooking contest is a contest to make a dish and evaluate the taste at the end.

It's just that since it's an entertainment competition, it's naturally impossible to be limited to serious cooking skills and not work well.

This time, there are special conditions for the cooking meeting.

To put it in simple words, it is the ban pick mode!

The four groups of contestants who participate in the cooking competition will divide the prepared ingredients by prohibiting certain ingredients and selecting certain ingredients at the same time.

This is not only a competition of cooking skills, but also a psychological game!

Because of this, there was a shortage of applicants for this cooking conference, and Sakamoto had no choice but to pull Qiao Qiao over to make up the numbers.

Qiao Qiao was wearing a school uniform and an apron in front of his desk, listening to the commentary and looking at the members of the other three groups.

One of the groups is composed of a pair of twin shrine maidens from the archery department, and they seem to be very imposing, and they also wear the shrine maiden costumes of their own shrines, one with a ponytail and the other with shawl hair.

"The first group of contestants is from the second grade C class, Mizuno Moon Mirror and Mizuno Moon Division, both of whom are witches from Washinomiya Shrine, and they are twins."

"Washinomiya Shrine is the oldest shrine in the Kanto region, so it's a blessing to pray for marriage."

Masaharu Ii is still making comments.

The two shrine maidens smiled and bowed to everyone, very in the style of Yamato Nadeshiko.

The second group consisted of a girl dressed as a gypsy woman and a boy in a black cloak.

Wait, isn't this the soothsayer you just met?

Qiao Qiao glanced at the boy squatting on a chair, stacking the potato chips one by one.

"The second group of contestants is the third-grade Class A of the Tuyumen Qingming and Kodejing Shiyin, both of whom are from the Yin and Yang Liao, haha, I don't know if Tuyumen-san can predict the outcome of this competition."

"I have to admit that the divination of Yin and Yang Liao may be able to play a huge advantage in the BP stage."

Tuyumen Qingming!

When they heard the name, the girls present burst into screams, but Tuyumen Qingming was unmoved, and only sent all the potato chips into their mouths after they collapsed because they couldn't keep their balance.

The third group, similar to Qiao Qiao, has only one person.

"The third group of contestants, oh, it turned out to be Hoshikawa Goyan from the third grade D class, as a monk of Sensoji Temple, what kind of cooking demonstration will he bring?"

"Sensoji cuisine is also very good in between temple cuisine."

Hoshikawa Yuyan also saw Qiao Qiao and smiled a little bitterly.

It seems that everyone is a tool man.

At this point, Qiao Qiao suddenly had some realization.

It's no wonder that few people dared to sign up for the cooking conference.

Not only are there shrine maidens, but also two geniuses from Sensoji Temple and Onyoryo have been invited, who dares to compete with these guys on the same stage.

Moreover, except for Qiao Qiao, they are all the leaders of the major spirit master factions.

I'm afraid that this cooking conference, in addition to the competition of cooking skills, is more of a competition of soul removal skills.

As for why he was able to invite Masaharu Ii to be a judge......

According to Qiao Qiao's understanding of the student council president, this foodie probably just wants to eat different dishes.

The food at the shrine is really light.

Although he understands the essence of this cooking conference, Qiao Qiao is just an ordinary soul killer, who has only been in the industry for a year, and can only rely on cooking skills to win.

"The fourth group is also a solo competition, it is Qiao Qiao from the second grade A class, he is from Huaxia, I don't know what kind of cuisine he will show us."

"Shredded pork with green peppers, mapo tofu, xiao long bao, Peking duck !!"

Ii Masaharu is also looking forward to it.

As several geniuses gathered at the venue, the audience of the cooking conference became more and more crowded, and almost half of the school was gathered.

After introducing the contestants, everyone turned their attention to the ingredient warehouse located in the middle of the four kitchen counters.

It can be said that there is a variety of meat, fish, vegetables, flour, rice, etc., and it can be said that there is everything you need.

The rule is to draw lots to determine the order of the first round, and then adhere to the principle of banning first and then picking, the first group to ban ingredients will be selected last in this round, and then the next round will reverse the order.

After repeating for about five rounds, use the ingredients you have in your hands to make the cooking.

"Ahh

Qiao Qiao drew the first one as a matter of course.

After that, there are twin witches, Hoshikawa Yuyan, and finally Yin Yang Liao.

"Joe got the first ban position, this is very troublesome, after all, I don't know what other people are good at, what does Jing Yisan think."

"It's true that the first choice is almost not specific, and if it were me, I would probably give priority to ingredients that I am not good at handling, but if they are ready, they will produce miracles."

The explanations of the two can no longer reach the ears of the contestants, because their location has been covered by the technique of isolating sound.

"Oh, contestant Joe is starting to choose the ingredients that are forbidden in the first round, what could it be, he came to the vegetable area, does it look like he is going to ban the vegetables directly?"

"When it comes to vegetables, it doesn't feel like it's the big picture."

I saw Qiao Qiao put the sign with the prohibition sign in his hand in an inconspicuous corner of the vegetable area.

“？”

The other three groups of people, except for Tuyumen Qingming, all looked at each other.

"It turned out to be wasabi, and Joe directly banned wasabi in the first round, so we may not see sashimi and sushi in this round."

Although there is no need to choose the seasoning, there is everything you need, but as a cooking event at Minejo High School, it is natural that the presence of low-grade finished wasabi is not allowed, but according to tradition, wasabi is ground on the spot.

For ordinary Japanese people, wasabi should be the preferred ingredient.

After all, the traditional cuisine of Wakoku, whether it is home-style or haute cuisine, is almost inseparable from wasabi soy sauce.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Qiao was directly banned.

Is he completely unprepared to cook raw food?

Oh, wait a minute, there really isn't anything raw in Chinese cuisine.

In the midst of the uproar, the Twin Shrine Maidens banned the difficult pork, which seemed to be something they were not good at.

Hoshikawa Yuyan thought about it, and the brand finally fell on the chicken.

"The parent-child meal is also in the soup."

Ii Masaharu was a little disappointed.

And the last Tuyumen Qingming, he didn't move, only said something to his partner, and the gypsy girl put the sign on top of the flour with some disgust.

"It's flour, so you won't see ramen or other pastry dishes."

"And there are many variations in the pasta of Chinese cuisine, and if flour is forbidden, Qiao will have a lot less choices."

The voices of the two commentators echoed in the venue, and at the same time, the four groups of people also began the process of selecting ingredients in the first round.

Qiao Qiao came to the ingredients area again, he almost didn't think about it, and quickly took a plate of ingredients.
