"Nishino-kun, you also know the Onimen Dragon?" After the ghost gate dragon also left, Yagi Haruka was the first to cast his eyes in shock.

"Hmm...... What's wrong, Yagi-senpai? Nishino Renyin was a little surprised, "The ghost gate is very famous?" ”

"That's for sure! He is the most famous talented young chef in the Kyoto competition this time, the kind that many top chefs have praised! It is the favorite of our regional champion! Haruka Yagi had an expression of "why are you so lonely".

In fact, she only learned about these things when she read comments on the Internet, but it did not prevent her from pretending to be knowledgeable in front of her juniors.

"That's right."

"You don't know? By the way, what do you have to do with the Ghost Gate Dragon? Friends? She said and became a little curious - Nishino-kun's cooking level is also unfathomable, could it be that he has a special connection with the Ghost Gate Dragon?

Could it be a brother? Now that they have turned against each other and decided to compete in the God of Food Competition?

"I've seen it once, but I'm not very familiar with it."

"Eh......"

After about half an hour or so, the knockout round finally began, and Nishino quickly left the players' lounge with everyone, entered the competition venue at the front desk, and was assigned to Group A.

There is a difference between the knockout round and the preliminary round, because there are only about 100 players left, and all the players will be divided into two groups, A and B, and then according to the results, the top 10 players will advance to the national competition and become the representative players of the Kyoto region.

In addition, the knockout competition will last for three days, and each day will have a different competition theme, and the ranking is based on the average score of these three days, and the judges of the knockout competition are also different from the public judges of the previous two competitions, but replaced by very professional well-known gourmets and celebrity chefs, which is also quite guaranteed in terms of fairness and justice.

After the grouping was completed, Nishino quickly came to the simple kitchen table assigned to him in the Group A area, and then looked around, feeling that they were all fresh faces - Shizune Yoshihara and Haruka Yagi were both assigned to Group B, not in the same area as him.

But soon, Nishino Renyin felt a cold gaze coming from behind him, and he turned his head to take a look, and found that the Ghost Gate Dragon was also behind him.

"You're also in Group A?" Nishino raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't think it was a big deal - this was a knockout, not a heads-up.

"It seems that this is your fate and mine." The Ghost Gate Dragon was also silent for a moment, and said coldly, "I will convince you of the loss." ”

"......" Nishino Renyin.

Fate you are a big-headed ghost, this group is either A or B, half of the probability of colliding, and fate has a fart relationship! Young man, I think you have a lot of talent in secondary 2, do you want me to recommend Miss Ema Hanashima to meet you? You all have the same language!

Of course!

complained and complained, and was provoked, and Nishino Lianyin did not mean to return the other party.

He has also been a giant on the Internet, and he has not done quality ridicule, but in real life he is a rather elegant and easy-going person, no matter how provocative the opponent is, he will not interact with the other party.

He turned around and began to fiddle with the kitchen utensils on the kitchen counter, while the host also took the microphone and quickly revealed the theme of the first day of the elimination tournament - chicken.

In other words, chicken must be in the ingredient, and eggs don't count.

This ingredient restriction is relatively simple, after all, chicken, duck and fish are one of the most common ingredients, and there is almost no one who has never eaten chicken since childhood.

And Nishino Lianyin, after a short period of silence, quickly made a decision - he planned to make a baked chicken with iron plates, which is a kind of Cantonese cuisine, not too difficult, not bad in taste, and the key is that it is not easy to collide with other people's practices.

If it is in the eight major cuisines in China, there are hundreds of ways to make chickens, and there is naturally a lot of room to play, but here is Japan after all, and the practices of chickens in Japanese cuisine are obviously not so rich, and the first thing that can be associated with it is curry chicken in addition to fried chicken, and the probability of crashing is extremely high, so Nishino Renyin has never considered using Japanese food to do it.

So, after deciding, Nishino went to get the ingredients and prepared to start making.

He first cut half a chicken into pieces, then cut the green onion into white pieces, slice the onion, and then cut a little ginger, sand ginger, coriander stalks, and green and red pepper shreds as a color, and soon completed the preliminary preparations.

He put the chicken nuggets into a bowl, add chicken powder, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, salt-baked chicken powder, and then add the previously cut ingredients, and slowly stir evenly - the role of soy sauce is to increase the flavor of the sauce, oyster sauce is used to enhance freshness, rice wine can be used to remove the smell and fragrance, and sesame oil is used to improve the sense of layering.

It's not that these seasonings are indispensable, and even the seasonings can only be regarded as icing on the cake, none of which are charcoal in the snow, but the knockout competition is difficult after all, and it is inevitable to be careful and cautious.

Therefore, after the marinating process is completed, there is no difficulty in the next step, nothing more than adding the marinated chicken pieces and ingredients to the iron plate, sprinkling coriander stalks and red and green pepper shreds, and then wrapping them in tin foil, placing them on the gas stove to fire evenly, and when they are almost burned, cut the tin foil, and it is done.

"My work is done." It didn't take long for Nishino Renyin to cut open the tin foil, smell it slightly, and make sure that the rich fragrance was exactly as expected, so he quickly called the staff and handed in his work early.

After handing over the dishes, Nishino Renyin looked around, intending to observe the works of the other players in Group A - most of the players' levels are in the late lv2 or early lv3 periods, obviously they are all genuine, probably less research on foreign cuisines, most of the contestants here tend to fry or make curry chicken dice, followed by stewing or boiling, there are seven or eight people who make Tang Yang chicken nuggets at a glance, and sure enough, as expected, the crash rate is too high.

But it can't be helped, Japanese food itself is like this, and it is not one of the eight major cuisines in China, so rich that you can't learn it thoroughly in your lifetime, and you can play a hundred and eight tricks as a chicken.

Nishino Renyin then focused on Ryuzaya, and found that this kid seemed to be making something similar to chicken buns - he had never seen the dough he had ever seen, it felt like a small bag, and then filled the chicken and other ingredients into it, which was still very good just by looking at the appearance, and it was quite creative, a bit like a variation of the chicken burger.

Awesome, this is your own innovation, right?

Nishino Lianyin admired it a little, he was just a decent chicken in Cantonese cuisine, and the ghost door dragon probably hadn't studied too rich chicken practices, and he actually temporarily created a self-created meat sandwich bun, which was quite good in terms of color and fragrance, with two brushes!

After watching the operation of Ghost Gate Ryuya for a while, Nishino Renyin quickly left Group A and came to the lounge outside. Anyway, he has completed the task, and the next thing is to wait for the competition official to send the results to his mobile phone, and it doesn't matter if he leaves and goes home.

Of course, after all, he didn't come alone, he still waited, and soon waited for Haruka Yagi and Shizu Yoshihara.

"How?" Nishino asked.

"It's definitely not okay to advance, the people in the same group are so good, I can't understand their way of making fried chicken." Haruka Yagi immediately sighed, obviously not lightly hit.

"Nishino-kun, I don't think I'll be able to do it with Yagi-senpai, you're our only hope." Yoshihara Shizuya sighed, "You must come on." ”

"Yes, you are our club, no, you are the only hope for our school! We must advance to the national competition, and the school board will definitely pay attention to us at that time, and we can also go to the student union to cheat funds! Yagi Haruka hurriedly said.

Is the significance of co-authoring me to advance to the national competition to facilitate the student union to cheat funds?

Nishino couldn't laugh or cry, but she still smiled and nodded, indicating that she would do her best - before the results of the first day were out, it suddenly became the hope of the whole village, and she suddenly felt the pressure on her shoulders weigh again.

The three of them went out of the backstage area, and when they got to the front desk, they saw the affectionate Kikuchi Naoto again, so Haruka Yagi and Naoto Kikuchi, a couple dog who should have been burned to death at the stake by the FFF group, went out to watch a movie together while swaying dog food, and Nishino Renyin and Yoshihara Shizun looked at each other at the door of the venue, and they didn't have a special weekend plan, so they went home separately.

That night, Nishino received the results information from the official competition.

His Iron Plate Baked Chicken scored 8.9.

Although it didn't go to 9, it was also a pretty good result, after all, unlike the previous two rounds, the judges of the knockout round were all professional gourmets and chefs, and their eyes were naturally quite picky.

But he wasn't sure what it was, so he asked Yoshihara Jing and Yagi Haruka again, and learned that these two had a 6.9 and a 7.2 - they were very content with this result, according to the seniors of the club, the only senior who broke into the knockout round last year had a final score of 5.9, which can be said to be quite miserable, and this year it has obviously improved a lot.

Seeing this, Nishino Renyin was also a little more relaxed about his results, and he could sleep peacefully at night - it's a pity that he didn't know the results of the first day of the ghost gate, but it didn't matter, he should know tomorrow.
