"Why haven't you come yet?"

When I took out my phone, the time was approaching 11 o'clock, and there was only one hour left before the end of the game.

Erina Nagikiri finally couldn't help but dial a number: "Please help me check the second place in the last food festival, where Mu Fanren is now." ”

After giving the order, Erina Nagikiri turned her gaze to the large screen on which the scores of the food festival were announced.

The current score has been announced, and the first place is the fourth place last time, with a high score of 83 points, except for the original 10th place to play and the second place, the other people's positions have not changed much.

Of course, they were able to take first place entirely because the cooking of the three most talked-about people in this game has not yet been cooked.

"Shinto Scarlet's cooking is complete!"

At this time, in the reminder of Rei Kawashima, everyone turned their attention to Scarlet Sako Shinto in the first seat, and saw that her cooking had been completed.

"What's that?"

In the strange eyes of the audience, Shinto Scarlet Sako actually carried five bamboo tubes with burnt skin on the judging table.

"It's ......"

Qianyu Xia Ya was also a little stunned and looked at the bamboo tube on the table and asked.

"This is what I made, bamboo tube fragrant rice."

Scarlet smiled slightly, then stepped forward and pulled away the bamboo covered by the bamboo tube, revealing the rice hidden in the bamboo tube.

The moment the bamboo tube was opened, a fresh fragrance of rice came to the nose, and even the four judges on the side could smell the fragrance of the rice.

"It turns out that when the bamboo tube is heated with charcoal fire, the skin of the bamboo tube is burned, and the rice inside is just cooked through, not only will it not taste like the ordinary pot, but it will also make the rice full of the strange aroma of bamboo."

Just seeing this whimsical approach made Chitatsuya say a word of admiration, and then picked up his own spoon and scooped a spoonful of rice into his mouth.

At the moment of the rice, the fresh fragrance instantly filled the whole mouth, and the breath from nature echoed in her mind, and in a trance, she felt as if she was in a fresh and quiet mountain forest, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

This feeling of tranquility and elegance made her immerse herself in it.

After a while, Qianyu Xia Ya came back to her senses, looked at Xinhu Scarlet Sako with shock and asked, "This bamboo, not ordinary bamboo, can give out such a fragrance, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Xinhu Scarlet nodded and said with a smile: "To be exact, this is called fragrant bamboo glutinous rice, this bamboo is called glutinous rice fragrant bamboo, and the selection is the youngest bamboo, this kind of bamboo is generally only as thick as a wine glass, the bamboo is more than 40 centimeters long, the glutinous rice cooked with glutinous rice fragrant bamboo is easy to carry, it will not become hard and reborn within 10 hours, it can be eaten hot or cold, the rice is soft and delicious, and the glutinous rice fragrance and green bamboo fragrance are integrated. ”

And this kind of fragrant bamboo glutinous rice is more suitable for entertaining VIPs than ordinary bamboo rice..... We really experienced the VIP treatment once. ”

Kojiro Shinomiya looked at Scarlet Sako Shinto, and his eyes were full of praise: "And the glutinous rice selected is soft and sweet, both in texture and taste, it is much better than ordinary rice." ”

"Is this taste ......?"

At this time, Dojima Silver exclaimed, and then said with a smile: "It seems that this is not a simple fragrant bamboo glutinous rice, which is made of pork lean meat mixed with fragrant glutinous rice and black beans, plus an appropriate amount of salt and baked into a bamboo tube to make fragrant glutinous rice, not only smells fragrant, but also makes people want to eat." ”

"This is a unique breath from the mountains!"

This fragrance instantly spread to Dojima Gin's body, and the sound of the clear spring and flowing water echoed in his heart like the sound of a piano, which made his mood feel comfortable for a while.

"In addition, the rice is filled with chopped lotus root slices and lotus seeds, which adds to the fragrant flavor."

Chitatsu Natsuya glanced at the leaves when Shinto Scarlet opened the bamboo tube just now: "Use banana leaves to seal the fragrance inside, so that it does not spread during the firing process, and can make it full of flavor, this kind of thoughtful thought, it is really worthy of being Erina Nagikiri's personal secretary, as long as you work hard, maybe you can be compared with Erina Nagikiri." ”

After receiving so many good reviews, Shinto Scarlet couldn't help but smile in surprise: "Thank you for the compliment, I just want to serve by Erina-sama's side forever." ”

"Moreover, this kind of ingredient from the natural mountains and forests is much better than the outside world, not only contains sufficient nutrition, but also nourishes the stomach and lungs......

Hearing this, the faces of the two chefs of the American Culinary Academy on the side were not very good, but although they didn't want to admit it, this fragrant bamboo glutinous rice was so delicious that they couldn't hide their hearts at all.

"Can you tell us where your dish came from?"

Dojima Silver couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Hmm."

Xinhu Scarlet nodded and said with a smile: "This is our medicinal diet family, and we once went to meet a Dai person from Huaxia, and he made the dishes for us. It is said that the Dai people in the long-term production practice of the extensive use of fragrant glutinous bamboo throughout clothing, food, housing, transportation, use and many aspects, it can be said that bamboo and their production and life has been closely related.

"The ancestors of the Dai family spread the habit of planting bamboo with bamboo, a variety of bamboo outside the house, bamboo is used in the house, eating bamboo shoots, living in bamboo buildings, using bamboo chopsticks, eating bamboo rice, drinking bamboo wine, drinking bamboo leaf tea, building bridges with bamboo instead of wood, flood control and bamboo cages, Dafan buckets, baskets, tables, stools and other utensils are all made of bamboo, and even smoking is also made of bamboo hookahs. Therefore, bamboo rice is a very delicious dish from the ethnic minorities in China. ”

"I see, this dish really comes from China."

Kojiro Shinomiya pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and couldn't help but purse his lips and think of the boy who made the stone pot fish in the second scene.

This teenager seems to be from China as well, right?

It's a pity that I couldn't participate in the third game.

......

"Then let's start grading the judges!"

In Rei Kawashima's voice, the scores on the big screen began to beat rapidly.

18-18-18-18-19

Total: 91 points!

Looking at the almost unanimous answer in the field, Rei Kawashima couldn't help but announce with a smile: "It seems that the first place that has appeared so far has been produced, suppressing the first 8 points in the field and the first in the field to break through to a high score of more than 90 points." ”

Hearing the news, the audience who originally supported Erina Nagi couldn't help but applaud, it seems that this little secretary is not only beautiful, but also well-deserved first-class.

In the entire arena, only Jeno had a sneer on his face and continued to make his own dishes.

Next up is Edaza Ezuyama.

"This is, pizza?"

The five judges looked at the pizza in front of them with surprised expressions.

Orlan James glanced at Ezuya Eizan with cold eyes, and said sarcastically in his tone: "But if you just have a pizza, it is impossible to get a high score in today's competition." After all, the fragrant bamboo glutinous rice that Xinhu Scarlet Sako was the first to play just now was really amazing, and we ate a lot of pizza in the United States. This pizza choice to play after it is really a bit of a bad fit. ”

Regarding the ridicule of the American Cuisine Academy, Ruishan Zhizu also smiled disapprerovingly: "Since you dare to take it to the competition, it is naturally not a simple pizza." ”

"Huh?"

The first person to taste the pizza was Von Greva, who had just taken a bite of the pizza and suddenly felt that her eyes lit up, only to see that the pizza in her mouth and the pizza she had just bitten down had pulled out countless golden strands of dough as if she had eaten the same food as a silk pull.

This kind of texture with infinite elasticity made her whole person surprised: "Why does this pizza taste so good?" ”

"Could it be that you add more water to the noodles, and the noodles themselves use a unique high-gluten noodles that make the noodles softer and stickier than other noodles, and judging from the pizza process you just made, you actually made it all by hand? With such difficulty, it will be more convenient to use a machine, right? ”

Esaya Aizayama had a smug look on his face: "Of course, true cooking is a truly delicious dish that is completely handmade without using all machines. As a chef, it is natural to have this kind of tiredness awareness. ”

Hearing this, the people in the audience also nodded, and it was very correct that the craftsmanship of people was better than the food made by cold machines.

After all, if machines could replace people, there would be no Yuanyue Academy and American Cuisine Academy.

And a chef doesn't use any machines, which is the most qualified chef.

At the same time,Dojima Gin, who was once the first senior seat in the Far Moon School Park, took a fork and cut off a piece of pizza and put it in his mouth.,Seeing the clues.,Said:"First of all, the taste of this pizza has come to the extreme.,It should have been used before the game to use noodles that have been fermented for a long time, right?" It seems that Eizan has made sufficient preparations to make this pizza. ”

Natsuya Chinatari is also immersed in the fantasy of pizza, and he feels as if he has come to a beautiful farm with endless grasslands: "Not only that, but eggs and butter are added to the flour and dough fermentation, but there are no egg whites, only egg yolks, which makes this pizza full of egg flavor, which belongs to the taste of Italian farms." ”

Kojiro Shinomiya took a bite, and for a moment he felt as if his head had been blown open by an impact, staring at the pizza and muttering, "The vegetables used as the base seem to have undergone a different treatment than ordinary pizza.....

Ezuya Aizama explains with a light smile, "Actually, I boiled the vegetables for an hour at the beginning of the competition, minced them, and slathered them with a special layer of tomato sauce on top to form the base that is now pleasant. ”

"The flavor, with its impact, reminds me of the first time I ate a pizza..... "Still immersed in this wonderful flavor, Oran James says incredulously: "The base is full of flavor with black pepper and carrots and sugar." ”

"It's simply the famous Italian pizza, Neapolitan pizza!"

Thinking back to such a dish that he was lucky enough to taste in Italy before, he didn't expect it to be restored by the students of Yuanyue Academy, Oran James couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's Neapolitan pizza!"

Hearing Orlan James's exclamation, there was a burst of exclamations in the audience, no wonder a pizza would cause praise from the judges, it turned out to be a world-famous dish, Neapolitan pizza!

"Ding—"

At this time, in the flickering of the big screen in the field, the final score finally arrived.

"93 points!"

This is two points higher than the new Scarlet Sako!

And Shinto Scarlet looked at the score on the big screen and was slightly stunned at first, and then seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and stayed in place in despair.

"I'm sorry, Erina-sama Nagikiri, I couldn't do all this......"

Nito Scarlet's heart was full of guilt and looked at Erina Nagikiri, who was sitting in the audience.

She thought that she could help Erina-sama, whom she respected the most, win the first place in the food festival, but she never thought that she would lose to Ezaneda-tsuya, who was also one of the ten masters of Erina-sama, just after her appearance.

In this way, the oath that was once the first was instantly dissipated.

Seeing the grief-stricken Scarlet Sako Shinto, Erina Nagikiri sighed helplessly.

In fact, the current scene is also expected by her, Ruishan Zhizu is also one of the ten masters of Yuanyue, because he is two years older than them, his experience and cooking skills are much stronger than Xinhu Scarlet, and it is normal for Xinhe Scarlet Sako to lose.

From the moment she temporarily lost her sense of taste, Erina Nagikiri knew that even if Sakiko Shinto competed in her place, she would miss the championship.

In this regard, she pinned all her hopes on Mu Fan, but she didn't expect Mu Fan to be able to participate in the competition like her.

Eizan Esatsu also pushed his eyes, his eyes flashing with wisdom and confidence, and he glanced disdainfully at Scarlet Sako Shinto.

In fact, in this game, the only thing that made Ruiyama Ezuzu jealous was Erina Nagikiri, and he didn't pay much attention to the new Scarlet Sako.

Looking at the scores on the big screen, Eizan Zhizu also clenched his fists.

Since Xinhu Scarlet was defeated by himself, then the first place in this food festival was won by him from the Ten Masters of Yuanyue!

"Oh? Isn't it a little too early to rejoice? ”

At this time, a sarcastic voice summoned Ruishan Zhizu back to reality, and Ruishan Zhizu also looked up, only to see Jeno walking towards him with the prepared food.

Ruishan Zhizu also frowned, and when Jeno and him staggered by, he actually sneered at him with a voice that only the two of them could hear, hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Miscellaneous fish, don't be too happy, the first place in this food festival belongs to our American Cuisine Academy." ”

"You?"

Eizaya's face changed, and when he turned around, Jeno had a faint smile on his face and stepped onto the judging table with the food.

"Beef burger?"

Looking at the food served by Jeno, Eizan Edaza was also slightly stunned, and then frowned, looking at the peculiar beef burger with a solemn gaze.

In addition to Eiyama Edazura, because Jeno was the last player to take the stage in the entire arena, the moment he took the stage, the tens of thousands of spectators in the arena also focused their attention on him.

In the eyes of tens of thousands of people, Jeno did not show any panic, and as he brought the beef burger to the table, an enticing aroma of meat suddenly spread from the plate.

This alluring aroma made the bodies of the five judges tremble.

Dojima Gin and Shinomiya Kojiro's faces were a little gloomy, and they were not in a hurry to taste the last dish.

The two chefs of the American Culinary Academy on the side looked proud, they understood that as long as Jeno took out this American beef burger, he must be the champion this time.

"It smells so good."

The first to make a move was Chitari Natsuya, who did not belong to the two forces, and the tantalizing aroma whetted her appetite, she swallowed her saliva, and then unceremoniously took a bite of the beef burger.

When she bit down into the bread outside, the tip of her tongue just touched the beef inside, and her teeth bit on the beef, and the tender gravy contained in it instantly splashed in her mouth, and the hot and flavorful taste stimulated her taste buds, making her can't help but let out a coquettish hum.

For a moment, the whole world in front of her changed, and the sound of merchant ships' whistles drifted past her ears, and Chitari Natsuya turned around, and she found herself in a bustling port city at this time.

With the sea in front of you and the chefs who are hospitable to the merchants, the cooking techniques are infused with French, Spanish, Caribbean and African traditions.

This is the New Orleans of the United States!

Coming back to her senses, Chitari Natsuya looked at Jeno with an unconcealable shock in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Jeno's simple dish allowed her to taste the unique flavor from New Orleans, USA.

The stimulating sexual taste of beef made Chinatari Natsuya take a deep breath, with an unconcealable flush on her pretty face, she looked at Jeno and asked, "It's so tender meat, why is the meat so tender, and it can be so refreshing to bite into it?" ”

Jeno stood in the middle of the room and smiled faintly: "Actually, when I stewed meat, I used a unique fruit. ”

"What?"

Qian Yu Xia Ya was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered the pineapple juice that she had ground the pineapple in the field before, and then her eyes widened: "I see, pineapple juice, you used pineapple juice, and soaked the beef in pineapple juice, in fact, pineapple juice is a natural tender meat powder, and pineapple juice is rich in bromelain, which can help beef protein become soft and rotten." Because the earliest tender meat powder was purified from pineapple. Pure pineapple juice is healthier, and the stewed beef is more fragrant, and the nutrition does not detract, but adds points. ”

"I used natural technology......

Kojiro Shinomiya was also surprised by Jeno's skills as a chef.

From this point of view, the American Culinary Academy is not only scheming, but also Jeno himself, and the combination of the two creates such a terrible Jeno.

At this time, Greva, who was tasting a beef burger on the side, glanced at Shinomiya Kojiro Dojima Ginkazu, who was not moving, and smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Shinomiya, Mr. Dojima, as the judge of this time, aren't you going to taste the last contestant's cuisine." ”

"Hmph, since it's your American Cuisine Academy, as an old friend, I naturally want to taste it."

Kojiro Shinomiya frowned and said indifferently, then looked at the beef burger and Chitata Natsuya on the plate, and took a big bite.

Suddenly, the tender gravy and flavor instantly filled his entire mind, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Because he understands that the production technology of this beef burger is enough for Jeno to win the championship of this food festival.

In that far-flung port of New Orleans, barbecue and cooking techniques are all the rage, and people love to eat meat, and Jeno's beef burger fits that in with that, putting a lot of effort into the beef.

Recalling the taste he had just tasted, Kojiro Shinomiya sighed and explained, "Although it seems to be a simple beef burger, the beef burger is made using a unique and exquisite cooking technique from New Orleans, and before the stew, garlic, thyme, cumin powder, dried chili peppers and other spices are smeared on top of the beef, just like making a steak, so that the beef is full of slightly spicy barbecue flavor from New Orleans that is easy to arouse the appetite."

"This taste, which satisfies people's appetite for a big meal, is the number one beef burger that deserves to be the best." Almost unwillingly, Kojiro Shinomiya made this evaluation.

"Hmm. Coupled with the tomato sauce on both sides of the beef burger, and a special layer of pie in the middle, it is both delicate and flavorful. ”

Seeing the five glasses of milk that Jeno brought up again, Dojima Gin's heart sighed, this beef burger is eaten with the help of beef, and the taste will be sublimated again.

Although he didn't want to admit it, in the face of such delicious food, even if he didn't rate it, the audience and other judges on the stage would give corresponding scores.

This simple burger alone shows that Jeno surpasses the previous contestants in terms of cooking, knife skills, and the use of ingredients.

In this way, the champion of this food festival is self-evident.

95 points!

In the end, the score on the big screen reversed again, and seeing this scene, Eizaya Eiyama's original confidence was instantly swept away.

He finally understood what Jeno said just now, and then he remembered that he had the potential to become the first seat in the Far Moon Academy, but because he was obsessed with developing business, he put the cooking technology in place, which caused the cooking technology to be stagnant.

This food festival is the biggest proof of him, and it also makes him re-realize himself.

"It seems that I will have to study more cooking techniques in the future."

With a sense of loss in his heart, Eizan Edaza also sighed and turned around without hesitation to leave the venue of the food festival.

Although there are rewards for the top 10, for him, not being able to finish first is the biggest failure.

But even in the face of such great pressure, this defeat will not hit him, but will become the driving force for him to move forward in the future!

Because he has to be worthy of the ninth seat of the Far Moon Academy, which is known as the alchemist.

It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible not to have the courage to get back up.

Seeing the departure of the originally second-ranked Ruishan Ezuya, the corners of Jeno's mouth showed a sneer.

At this time, Oran James also turned his gaze to Dojima Silver and Shinomiya Kojiro and asked, "Now that all the contestants have been completed, is it time to announce the final results of the food festival?" ”

"50 minutes to go."

Dojima Silver shook his head with a gloomy face: "Don't you think it's a little too anxious to make such an announcement?" ”

"Does Mr. Dojima want the audience to keep their eyes on the empty arena at the moment?"

Griva on the side sneered disapprovingly: "Isn't it a waste of everyone's time to go on like this?" ”

Kojiro Shinomiya frowned, it is true that now that the contestants have finished their competitions, no one wants to continue staring at the empty arena. It's like the curtain call of a movie theater, and there are a few people who can watch the cast.

But now, they really don't want to let Yuanyue lose to the American Culinary Academy so easily, they hope that Mu Fan can return and defeat Jeno.

But after looking at the time, Dojima Ginto smiled bitterly, there were only forty-five minutes left, even if he came, what could he do?

After waiting for five minutes again, and because the game was delayed and unwilling to announce the takeover, there was already a lot of noise in the spectators.

Seeing this scene, Erina Nagikiri and Ichishiki Hui at the back of the audience both understood that the spectators in the field couldn't wait.

In this kind of time, if there are still contestants in the competition, forget it, but at the moment there is no one, and the results are not announced, and no one wants to do it at all.

After all, they all bought tickets to come in.

"Mu Fan, where did you go?"

Erina Nagi clenched her fists, because her nervous palms were already full of sweat, and at this moment, she could only pin her hopes on Mu Fan, who could not come to the arena.

Rei Kawashima stood on the stage alone, even as a courtesan and host, she didn't know what to say, after all, no one made the food, so she couldn't stand on the stage and chat with others, right?

After a moment of silence, Rei Kawashima could only walk up to the judging table and whisper to Dojima Silver and Kojiro Shinomiya: "Seniors, isn't it time to announce the results." ”

"Forget it, announce it."

Dojima Silver also understood that this matter could not be delayed, so he could only order someone to find the main person in charge of this time, Nagi Akiri, the left guard.

Seeing the score in the field, although the left doorman of Nagi Cutting Immortal is the commander of the Far Moon School Park, and he is the person in charge of this food festival, but according to the regulations, he can't make changes, so he can only sigh, walked to the stage and looked at the scores on the big screen, and announced loudly: "Then I announce that the winner of this competition is ......."

"Wait!"

Before the left doorman of Nagi Cutting Immortal finished speaking, suddenly a voice came from a distance, and everyone turned around, only to see that at the door of the first floor, a young man dressed in black with a beautiful face was running quickly to the middle of the field with two girls.

At this time, the boy raised his head and looked at the time and score on the big screen, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Although there were a few twists and turns on the road, I finally caught up.

"Mu Fan?"

Seeing this figure, all the contestants and spectators present showed different looks, and the faces of Hono Takasaka and Erina Nagikiri had hopes and excitement on their faces.

And the faces of the people from the American Cuisine Academy became ugly.

Jeno, who was almost standing in the championship position, also heard the shouts at the door and stopped, turned around, and saw Mu Fan who was walking quickly to the field, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

Because at the moment when he looked at Mu Fan, he happened to meet Mu Fan's cold eyes, and then in his sight, the corners of Mu Fan's mouth moved slightly.

At this moment, Jeno actually read what he said from Mu Fan's mouth.

"Your first, I want it!"
