Taking the ingredients back to the kitchen counter, Nishino Renyin observed the other people's operations along the way, and felt a little relaxed in his heart.

In view of the age limit of 25 years old, all the contestants present are young people, and even sixteen-year-old high school students like Nishino Renyin are not the youngest among them - therefore, unless there are a few talented or famous teachers who teach them, under normal circumstances, the cooking level of this group of young teenagers is definitely not much higher.

He looked all the way over, and felt that the general cooking level was at the level of lv1, and it was like the average housewife, no wonder when he heard the half-hour time limit, he was immediately scared and shivered, and turned his head and began to make sushi, most of which were still too few dishes, and he couldn't think of too good options for a while, so he crashed the car collectively.

Two of them chose fried tempura or something...... I guess I will do too little and I don't want to be like others.

Of course, he didn't take it lightly, there were still six or seven players in the corner because they were far away and he didn't observe, in case there were big guys above lv3 hidden in those players, there was still a probability of overturning.

The promotion rate is only 20%, so it must not be inflated for the sake of safety! Even if you find out that you are fighting wits and courage with the air in the end.

When she arrived at the kitchen counter, Nishino picked up a kitchen knife and began to skillfully cut tofu and beef and other ingredients, and it only took about half a minute to cut the tofu into small cubes.

Mapo tofu can be used with old tofu and tender tofu, which has its own characteristics, and the old tofu is more fragrant, while Nishino Renyin chooses tender tofu, which will taste better.

Then, he chopped the beef into minced meat, chopped the garlic sprouts, and finally chopped the dried chili peppers and peppercorns into chili noodles, and the preparation was almost done, and then it was time to heat the pan.

In fact, mapo tofu does not have a completely fixed practice process, there is a lot of room to play, the early cooking technique is to fry a large spoonful of vegetable oil in the pot, then put a large handful of chili peppers, then add beef, wait until the minced meat is fried to a dry crisp, then put the tempeh, then put in the tofu, add a little water and shovel a few times to adjust evenly, and finally cover the pot with a small heat to dry the soup, and then sprinkle the peppercorns before the pot is completed.

Nishino Renyin's approach is similar, but on the basis of the original, the steps have been deleted and the water starch has been added to thicken.

In fact, there is also a step to remove the smell of beans, which requires blanching the tofu over low heat with water and salt for one minute, but his thirty minutes is still relatively compact, so he just skips it, and the impact will not be great.

Soon, Nishino Renyin's bright red mapo tofu dotted with a little green was completed, he had done it many times in the store, and this time he was extremely serious, and it took less than twenty minutes to solve the battle, counting the time he had spent on selecting ingredients and ink, it took about 23 or 24 minutes in total. By the time he looked up, there were only four players left in the group.

Sushi and tempura are easy and fast to make, and Japanese school home economics classes have also taught this thing, so many people only took about ten minutes to get better, and among the people who were not good, Nishino Renyin took a closer look and found that this group of slower players made mashed potatoes, sandwich croquettes, taiyaki and a portion of pasta, but they were done very carefully, and their movements were not skilled, and most of them were decided on the fly.

He glanced at it a few times, and then took his mapo tofu to the judges' seat.

And the three judges of this group were rubbing their stomachs listlessly, and when they saw the red mapo tofu in Nishino Renyin's hand, they were directly shocked, and even their waists straightened up instantly - they had just eaten a lot of sushi, and they insisted on savoring it, judging the good and bad from this group of sushi, people were about to eat stupidly, and now seeing this red and green, brightly colored mapo tofu, there is a feeling that the survivors in the desert have seen the oasis, and they are so excited that they are about to cry.

"Everyone, please taste it." Nishino Renyin said and put this mapo tofu on the table, and the three judges were not polite at all, and they began to taste it seriously with a spoonful, looking as if they were really professional.

Then, it didn't take long for the three judges to look good again, and they reached for their spoons again, and kept filling the mapo tofu into their own small bowls, as if they wanted to divide the dish with others.

No, there are players in the back, you eat so cleanly, can you still eat the dishes of the next few players later...... Nishino Renyin looked at the few contestants behind him who were still frowning at the kitchen counter, and then looked at the three judges in front of him with red lips, hesitated, and didn't say anything.

He watched silently from the side, but the judges were a little embarrassed to eat, a middle-aged uncle-looking judge coughed, picked up a water cup and planned to drink two sips of water to relieve the spicy sensation in his mouth - he was the least good at eating spicy among the three judges, and this mapo tofu was the kind with more stamina, he ate two bites and realized that something was wrong, and his lips had turned into sausages.

However, he did not regret it at all, but had an amazing feeling, which was painful and happy.

In fact, he was already very impressed when Nishino Renyin brought the dish over, after all, the first impression of this mapo tofu was very good, the color was extremely bright, with the green garlic seedlings on it, people couldn't help drooling when they looked at it, and the fragrance was also impeccable, and the spicy feeling could be smelled from a distance, which was in stark contrast to the dozen or so sushi in front.

Immediately, after eating a few bites, he was even more impressed by the high school boy in front of him - he was really not good at eating spicy food, but this mapo tofu was so fragrant that he couldn't refuse it at all!

Putting down the spoon, the three judges exchanged glances and began to silently score on their own forms, and the scores, considering the relationship that may be changed later, were announced after everyone was over, so Nishino Renyin bowed his head and left the judges' seat directly, and went to the waiting area of this group.

In the waiting area in the group, the previous fifteen players were already chatting in twos and threes, and a small number of people quietly lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones, but they all kept their ears open to pay attention to the movements around them.

After Nishino Renyin walked into the waiting area, there were a lot of eyes around, both men and women, probably because of his skillful skills when he was cooking before, which attracted some attention, after all, he would observe others, and others would naturally observe him, not to mention that his bright red mapo tofu was also a particularly conspicuous presence in the group.

But no one talked to him, so Nishino Renyin walked to the corner with his head down, and by the way, he judged the identity of this group of young contestants through other people's conversations - some of them are the same as Nishino Renyin, they all have family businesses such as cooking houses and izakaya at home, so they have a certain level of cooking at a young age, and some are interested, because they are interested in cooking and have a certain level, so they participated in the competition to see how many catties and taels they had.

But they do still have student status, not to mention college students or high school students, and even junior high school students have contestants, which makes Nishino Renyin a little surprised.

After a while, the remaining four players who were more grinding also came over, and at the same time there was a staff member who picked up the document in his hand and looked at it, and then asked, "No. 13, who is No. 13?" ”

The players in the waiting area immediately became nervous, and Nishino Lianyin immediately walked out of the corner, holding the number plate in his hand, and said calmly: "It's me." ”

"What about Number 11?" Staff member.

"I'm here!"

"Fives and eighteens?"

"It's me, it's me!"

"Then congratulations to the above four for successfully advancing to the semi-finals." After the staff announced, Xuan Wei smiled and handed the paper in his hand to the nearest player, "The above is your average score and ranking, you can see for yourself." ”

After the staff finished speaking, they left, and the player who got the ranking list was instantly surrounded by other people, it seems that whether they are promoted or not, everyone is still very concerned about their scores - in fact, many people have never thought that they want to advance, and the purpose of coming here is to see if they can get a good score from the mouths of the competition judges and give themselves a little confidence.

Nishino Lianyin looked at them squeezing around, shook her head, and didn't look at the scores, turned around and walked outside, but a girl next to her said with a little surprise: "Student No. 13, don't you look at your score?" ”

"Anyway, they're all promoted, it doesn't matter if you watch it or not." Nishino said as he walked.

"Don't even bother to look at the score, is this the style of the first place? It's so handsome. After Nishino Renyin left, the girl's eyes were full of little stars and muttered.

"Cut, stinky fart guy, isn't it just one place taller than me, and it's pretending to be ......" The No. 11 player ranked second is also a boy who looks like a high school student, and he muttered a little sour when he heard the words - he and this girl came to participate together, and he was originally complacent and ready to win the first place in the group, but the first place was not only robbed by Nishino Renyin, but the female companion also praised Nishino Renyin handsome in front of him, which made him a little uncomfortable.

There's a sense of depression that I'm NTR in person.。

Subsequently, No. 11 also hurriedly squeezed in to look at his score and ranking, given that the tiger Nishino Lianyin had left, and the No. 11 boy was the monkey overlord here, so the others also politely gave up the position to him first.

He received a rating of 8.2, 8.3, and 8.6 from the three judges, and the overall score of 8.4 ranked second.

Only 8.4 points? didn't even give a 9 points, this group of judges is not good-looking, and the requirements are quite high? Boy No. 11 was a little disappointed, and then his eyes slowly moved upward, intending to see how many points the first place who was very good at pretending to be forced, if the gap was not big, then he could barely regain some face on the female companion's side later.

"No. 13, rating: 9.6, 9.4, 9.4, overall score 9.5, ranked first."

Seeing this, the No. 11 boy was directly stunned - this comprehensive score is actually more than one point higher than himself? What is this devil score? What's the origin of that kid? He looks about the same age as himself, and he doesn't look like some old cook who has been immersed in the kitchen for many years, why is there such a big difference between himself and him?

Speaking of which, the idiot judges gave themselves such a low score...... Is it because the judges are too rubbish and not good enough, so they can't taste the details of the hard work they put into the cooking?

Right! It's the judges who are too rubbish, yes, it must be so!
