Chapter 4: Purgatory Kitchen - Soup
"Matthew, think about it, what does Fufu like to eat on weekdays?"
Yukisai Yagi shook Matthew's arm vigorously to make her reminisce.
But how does Matthew know?
First of all, everyone doesn't know what kind of species Lianfufu is.
It's a cat, it's a fish, it's something.
It's a dog, it's meat, it's meat, something.
Squirrels are acorns or something.
But what species is it?
Moreover, just now, the host called Fufu "she" (note: the host speaks English, and the third person distinguishes between men and women. Turns out Fufu is a female?! Speaking of which, it's true that Yagi didn't touch a certain organ unique to males when he played with it.
Or is it just a dramatic performance by a playwright?
In short, after the introduction was completed, the lights were turned on and everyone went about their own business.
The people mentioned here are a group of people who can't see their faces clearly, wearing all kinds of clothes, which look like medieval clothes, but they are obviously much more gorgeous than those of the Middle Ages, and they are probably imitations of later generations. Only the part of their face was ambiguous, as if it was covered by a heavy shadow, and it was impossible to see clearly.
The more you try to tell the difference, the more you can't see clearly.
I just helped the host uncle to do all kinds of performances: such as lighting, such as adjusting the amplifier, such as cleaning up the tables, chairs and rooms, these people did it. Now with the lights on full, the busy figures of these people are reminiscent of ants.
It can be seen that the host uncle should be a famous drama author, and these people should be brought by his skills or treasures. Famous theatre writers have their own troupes. For example, the world-famous writer William Shakespeare had a theatre company that was founded with the King's donation.
"Hmph, it's really unlikeable, this is probably the so-called peers are enemies."
Hans Christian Andersen had come here at some point.
"Sounds like you know him well?"
Fujimaru Rika said strangely.
"Huh? Definitely. It's better to say that it's strange that you don't know, right? Shakespeare, Shakespeare. Just look at her dramatic performance. ”
“………… Ay?! Is that Shakespeare the legendary great writer?! It's so sloppy...... I mean, such a raunchy middle-aged man? ”
Matthew's stunned expression was even more amusing.
"Well, that's good, that's right, he's such a middle-aged lewd man, what kind of dramatic conflict, don't worry about causing trouble for others...... Ah, I forgot, I'm here to give you a hint: if you want me to score high this time, you have to ...... Hum...... You get the idea, right? ”
Hans Christian Andersen pinched his index finger and thumb and circled it to hint at everyone.
"Money?"
Ding Xiaowan asked tentatively.
In his homeland, pinching the index finger and thumb is either ok or a bribe.
"Hey! It's so infuriating for you little girl to talk! Give me wine! Wine! ”
Andersen shook his hand and did look like he had pinched a wine cup.
"Hmm...... We'll consider ......"
Yagi Yukisai prevaricated him.
Hans Christian Andersen also knew that they were prevaricating themselves, and he talked to himself and went back.
No matter how you think about it, this cooking duel is a situation that makes people feel unclear.
Yagi Yukisai can only hope for the servant he has just summoned by his side.
Tall, blonde, in Greek mythology, the great sage Charon was known for being omniscient and omnipotent, and capable of doing anything.
"Ah, let me start with it, my knowledge is limited to ancient Greece, if I am asked to take out ancient Greek cuisine I can do it, if it is modern style, then it will not work."
Charon gave him a basin of cold water.
Yagi laughed twice and quickly comforted him by saying that he hadn't thought about him in the first place.
But what about the cooking competition......
Yukisai Yagi takes a look at the judges.
Look at the opponents.
This is sure to be a tough battle!
How can this be won?
The ones who can cook on their side are Yagi Yukisai and Ding Xiaowan.
Yagi is only a little bit because his stepfather is a chef, and it's not worth mentioning at all compared to those who are proficient in cooking.
Ding Xiaowan's level is not clear...... But she herself says she's only slightly good at it.
Let's take one step at a time this time.
Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, the host Shakespeare had already come out of the back kitchen.
"Well, everyone, I have the honor to announce to you that the theme of this first course is: soup. As long as it's soup, everything is fine. By the Chaldean Chefs, fight against the backbone of the Purgatory Chefs! Tamamo Cat! Whew, even my generation is beginning to look forward to what kind of soup we will taste! ”
"Anyway, let's take one step at a time......
As if resigned to his fate, Yukisai followed the Faceling sent by Shakespeare to the kitchen assigned to him.
It was the second kitchen of the Chaldees.
After all, this is a large kitchen that was originally scheduled to accommodate 300 people, and there must be quite a few people in the back kitchen.
As soon as he saw this kitchen, Yagi Yukisai felt that he was too stupid at that time. Reif said anything, even if it was just a handyman, they were all members of the Chaldeans, and everyone had the right to share in that moment of success, even the cooks and handymen were summoned to the war room.
How can there be such a thing? Pre-war mobilization still has to bring handymen?!
But one thing is certain: this peculiarity is exactly as they say it is. The ingredients have not been tampered with, and they are originally Chaldean.
Yagi Yukisai often comes here to steal food...... No, he came here a lot to check the ingredients, and he was sure that there was no problem.
Cooking utensils are also available.
When it comes to soup, there are so many to choose from.
Clear soup or puree?
Sweet or savory? Or is it sour and spicy?
What materials are used?
In French cuisine, you can always find corn soup, tomato and egg soup at home, chicken soup to nourish your body, and in Japan, dashi made with bonito is often used as an adjunct to cooking, and in North Korea, it is said that bones are used to make soup.
There are so many to choose from. What kind of food do you want to make?
Through the wall, the sound of the first kitchen cannot be heard at all, probably because the sound insulation effect is particularly good.
"Anyway, let's think about what soup to make first."
Yukisai Yagi sighed, at a loss.
These judges come from all over the world, from all eras, from all nationalities, and have different tastes, how do you get that? Skaha and Leonida gave a well-understood principle of judging: as long as the amount is large and the energy is sufficient.
But what about the others?
For example, Romani ...... Ah, forget it. He must be the kind of fish-fisher who eats everything and gives high marks for everything!
"Well, I can't think of it."
Yukisai Yagi picked up a kitchen knife, but he didn't think of anything...... sighed, I really didn't know where to start.
