"What's the matter with you?" Nishino Renyin looked at Masaki Moriguchi speechlessly.

"Fujiwara said that he was going to participate in the competition today, and asked us to follow him together to give him courage, and he said that you are also there, boss, and we are all here." Masaki Moriguchi said with a look on his face, and then said to Kyoko, "Sister Kyoko is good! ”

Kyoko subconsciously took half a step back, and then said, "...... Well...... Hello. ”

On the night of the perverted murderer incident, Kyoko met with Masaki Moriguchi and others, which was not particularly strange, but now the entire Moriguchi group was attacking, and there were almost twenty or so people, which was still quite impressive, which shocked her a little.

Forget about the beautiful girl support group.,It's really the first time I've seen this bad boy support group...... Nishino Renyin didn't know what to say, but this group of bad teenagers didn't come to make trouble, and it wasn't good to drive them away, so he explained the situation to Minister Haruka Yagi.

Of course, he also clarified the relationship between himself and the Moriguchi group by the way, so as not to be misunderstood as a bad boy.

He was long past the rebellious period, and had no interest in being bad or anything.

Minister Yagi Haruka is very calm, she is a senior in the third grade, two to three years older, and she is very imposing in the face of this group of bad teenagers who are generally in the first year of high school or even the third year of junior high school, and she feels like a sister looking at her younger brother, and she doesn't think they are terrible, so she nodded and said it doesn't matter, you can go together.

So, after everyone arrived, the Culinary Institute and its family group boarded a specially rented bus.

This bus was rented with club funds, and with the joint efforts of the Culinary Research Society, they won a good result in the third place during the cultural festival, and received a lot of financial rewards from the student union, plus the income from the desserts sold was also counted in the club funds, so for a while, the funds of the Culinary Research Club were a bit too much to explode, so that the members of the department had a lot of confidence when recruiting new people, so they had the spare time to rent a car as a means of transportation.

However, Haruka Yagi didn't think in advance that Ryohei Fujiwara, a kid, could call so many people to be his support group, and the bus couldn't be jammed, so the delinquent youth support group of the Moriguchi Group had to take the bus to the venue by themselves.

The preliminary round of the God of Food Contest is actually an audition, the main purpose is to filter out the bastards and those who make trouble among the contestants, and naturally there will not be too much money to rent any good venues to use, and the so-called preliminary competition venue is a big warehouse.

The address is in Sakyo District, and it took about half an hour for the bus to drive all the way.

All the way by, the car was quite quiet, mainly because everyone got up quite early, and many people were closing their eyes and pretending to sleep. Nishino Renyin looked out the window while thinking about the various restrictions that might arise in the game, Kyoko sat on his left hand side and dozed off, Hongyu used the cute technique to rub snacks to the club seniors in the front row, Makino Maki and Yoshihara sat together and had an awkward conversation without a word, Fujiwara Ryohei sat alone in the last row, he actually wanted to sit with Ogawa's classmates, but Ogawa Kyoko sat with the seniors, he had no choice but to watch alone in the back.

When I arrived at the door of the competition venue, Nishino Renyin got off the bus and looked left and right, and found that there were hundreds of people gathered here, but it was normal, after all, Kyoto is the representative city of Kansai, and Tokyo in Kanto is far away, so the Kyoto competition area is naturally also a large number of contestants, and there are thousands of applicants alone, which still has the restriction of "under 25 years old", if there is no such limit, the number of participants will be much more terrifying.

Due to the large number of contestants, the preliminary round in the Kyoto division lasted for several days, and everyone at the Culinary Research Institute had to be rounded on the first day because they signed up early.

After entering the warehouse venue, Nishino Renyin observed and found that a large simple kitchen table had been set up in the middle of the warehouse, which could accommodate two hundred people to compete at the same time, and a large open space was also divided by a fence in the open space outside, which was the audience area for the family group support group.

"Lianyin, I believe in you!" Kyoko encouraged that she is very confident in her brother, and if her brother can support the business of the store by himself and make the business more and more prosperous, can the other contestants do it?

Then Makino Maki also came over and said nonchalantly, "Come on." ”

Nishino Lianyin soothed the slight tension in her heart, smiled at them and nodded, and felt that something was missing, turned her head and found that Hongyu had run into the area where the ingredients were placed on the side at some point, and looked at the watch as if she was very greedy for the seafood ingredients in it, and hurriedly went over to take her out, and the family members were all seriously cheering for themselves, why did they pull it over when they got to the stupid cat?

In the eyes of Hongyu, how many fresh fish are not important?

Under the collective gaze of the other contestants, Nishino Renyin trotted awkwardly all the way to carry Hongyu to the audience, and then instructed Kyoko and Yukimi to keep an eye on this silly cat, lest she have an idea and turn into a cat form and sneak in to steal fish to eat.

Subsequently, he came to the corresponding kitchen counter according to his number, and after all the contestants were in place, Nishino Renyin listened to the host explain that there are no rules, that is, to make any dish on the basis of existing ingredients, there is no theme requirement and no need to innovate, and you can play your best in the field you are good at.

In terms of grouping, 20 players are counted as a group, and the four people with the highest scores can advance to the next round of semi-finals, with a knockout rate of up to 80%, and there are three judges in each group, which also avoids the situation that the judges eat too much and are full.

Of course, these judges are naturally not gourmets or other big guys, at most they are senior members of some review websites, and they spend a little money to be the judges to make up the numbers, and there is basically no professionalism at all.

“…… In the end, the game lasts 30 minutes, and if you don't do more than 30 minutes, you will be automatically disqualified. The host said.

Fortunately, hearing the last time limit, Nishino Renyin raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and the other people in his group changed their faces This time limit is too short, only half an hour, isn't this not a mistake at all?

"This half an hour is too short, and it will take at least half an hour for the good dishes I specially prepare!"

"It's over, it's over...... I make okonomiyaki for more than half an hour! ”

The people next to him complained, but Nishino Renyin was quite calm. The tighter the time, the higher the requirements for the basic skills of the chef, and his cooking skills have been very proficient in basic skills since he reached lv3, and it is not difficult to do it quickly and well, as long as he plays steadily.

The premise is that there are no big guys in this group, in case two masters of cooking above the lv3 level come in, then he will be a little hanging.

However, there are very few young contestants under the age of 25 who can have a lv3 cooking level, right? It shouldn't be so unlucky.

While thinking about it, he observed the other 19 opponents in his group, and felt that they were generally high school students or college students, some of them were confident, and some of them looked nervous, but it was still a little difficult to distinguish the master from the rookie from the aura...... After all, if you look at the group next to him, Fujiwara Ryohei's level of a round of tours can also talk and laugh with Xiaochuan next to him, his aura is flat and stable, and all kinds of guidance are pointing out the country, and all the people in his group are nervous, thinking that he has met a big guy......

So we have to wait for the game to start before we can judge.

Soon, the competition finally officially began, and Nishino Renyin also hurried to the ingredients area to pick up the ingredients with others. There is freshly cooked rice, which was quickly snatched up by the other players in the group, and it seems that they are all planning to make sushi, which is relatively fast and difficult, and is not prone to mistakes, which is a relatively smooth option.

Nishino Renyin was not very interested in making sushi, his eyes lingered on the other ingredients for a moment, turned his head to take a look, and was suddenly a little confused In addition to him, almost all the other nineteen players in his group are making sushi, some are making salmon sushi, some are making tuna sushi, and there are ** sushi ...... Are these people planning to choke the judges to death with one sushi per person?

He was speechless, hesitated for a while, and decided to make a mapo tofu and change the taste for the judges by the way.
