Early the next morning, Chihuo and other students from the "Polestar Liao" entered the conference hall together, and then divided into two teams and entered the A and B venues respectively.

Although the competition started at 11 o'clock, there were a lot of ingredients and tools prepared in advance, and it was not like a "one-on-one" halberd, and there were other people who could help them get things, so basically everyone started to work at 9 o'clock.

At half past ten, the vast majority of the audience has already entered, all the first-year students and most of the second-year students, lecturers from various departments, and even many ten masters, will be the audience.

At eleven o'clock, the emcee's voice rang out on time, because Rei Kawashima was the emcee in Field B, so it was rare to see a "new face" in the position of the emcee in Field A!

"Hello everyone! I'm the master of ceremonies in the A division of today's preliminaries, Yuai Sasaki! Guys are ready, right? The three-hour preliminaries will start soon! As long as the contestants finish the food in three hours, they can present it to the judges, and then each of the five judges has the right to score 20 points, for a total of 100 points! The top four players will advance to the finals! "Compared with Kawashima Rei, Yuai Sasaki is less pretentious, but she is more timid, and she has the style of a little girl next door.

Although there were five judges, it was not until the start of the competition was announced that the seats in the middle of the five judges in Group A were still empty, and no one was seated after more than half an hour......

The person who came was a young woman wearing a long white dress, with a beautiful figure and a beautiful mole under the corner of her right eye.

Although it was late, his attitude was still aggressive, and he ridiculed Ruishan Ezuya's "reminder", and Ruishan Ezutsu could only whisper a few words about it.

After all, this "Chimatari Natsuya" is the contemporary helmsman of HOB Foods, occupying the 200 billion yen curry market every year, and is known as the "Curry Queen" with her sister "Chimatari Orie"!

Since Chitari Natsuya is in Group A, I think Chitamari Ori is in Group B......

At this time, Chitatsu Xia Ya suddenly frowned and looked at the red fire in the audience, and asked, "What is he doing here?" ”

Another judge next to Chitatamari Natsuya, Shigenojin Kada, who has two curly beards, speculated: "It seems to be grinding beans? I think it's tofu or soy milk. ”

"Huh? Bean curd? There is still freshly ground tofu...... Could it be that the main ingredient in his dishes is tofu? Chitatsuya Natsuya wondered.

Eizan Edaza also explained at this time: "It is very likely! According to the rules of the competition, if you use ready-made tofu, you can only use ordinary tofu, since the red fire contestants bring only soaked beans and then grind them on the spot, I think it is because they are not ordinary tofu to use! ”

"Well, if you don't use tofu as the main ingredient, it's not worth the delay for so long!" On the other side, the producer of the popular food TV program "Minasaka Rolling Blade" nodded.

"Speaking of tofu, the title is 'curry', and the red fire player is good at Chinese cuisine, so it should be 'mapo tofu', right?" Kada Shigenojin speculated.

"It is true that the taste of mapo tofu is numb, spicy, hot, and salty, and as long as the use of spices is enhanced, it can be regarded as a curry dish, but ...... I always feel a little ordinary. Minatosaka rolled his hand.

Mapo tofu is made with simple ingredients, and as one of the most accepted dishes in Chinese cuisine, it is indeed not new to everyone.

"Wait, if you want to make tofu, you should use soybeans, right?" Chitatsu Natsuya frowned.

At this time, the judges noticed that Chihuo actually prepared black beans and ground them!

"Maybe it's some kind of innovative ......," Shigeyuki Koda speculated.

However, the production process of Chihuo this time is really boring, and it is completely lacking in its previous gorgeousness.

After six small wooden boxes of pressed tofu are filled, and the final step of making tofu begins, "pressing", the various spices begin to be tinkered.

First, the most basic chili peppers and sesame peppers are heated and pressed for oil, and then the common spices in Chinese cuisine such as star anise, fennel, Sichuan pepper, and cinnamon, as well as dill and basil, bay leaves, and other spices that are commonly found in Western cuisine, are treated in slightly different processes......

Nearly an hour after the start of the competition, the "battle" had already begun, and because the title was "curry cuisine", the smell of various spices was already diffused on the field before the finished product was presented, and they were fighting with each other!

Although the judges did not have Ryo Hayama's sense of smell or Erina Nagikiri's "tongue of God", with experience, they were able to at least judge which positions had the advantage at this time.

About an hour and 20 minutes, less than half of the allotted three hours, the first student to present the dish to the five judges for review.

Everyone was not surprised, and this was to be expected, after all, many curry dishes do not require such a long cooking time of three hours.

It would be bad if they all gathered in the last half hour, after all, there are 40 players in a division, and it takes at least one minute for each dish to be tasted and scored, and if it is an excellent dish, one minute is far from enough.

However, this is not possible, after all, the first dish to be presented, although the cooking time is shorter, but it has a "pioneer advantage".

The competition with a scoring system is different from the "halberd", the judges' appetite is limited, and it is such a heavy curry dish, and the "avant-garde advantage" should be obvious.

However, whether it is Chihuo or Hayama Liang, they have already felt their score!

Because Ryo Hayama's "curry fish head soup" has not yet added the last few spices, the impact of the smell has not yet reached the highest, and now judging from the smell on the field, it is completely "divided between the heroes".

Ryo Hayama, who has the sense of smell of the gods, has already judged from the smell that the strongest people should be: Mito Yumei, Sakaki Ryoko, Marui Zenji, Ibu Saki Jun, Misaku Pleiades......

In addition, there is also the dish that can't be judged now, and neither of the dishes of Chihuo and Kohei Sojin seems to have emitted any aroma yet.

Then, Hayama Liang himself, as well as Kurokiba Ryo cuisine, at this time, the aroma is still only at the level of "group heroes", and it is obvious that it has not yet reached the final stage!

Others can only be said to be "general", which is not bad among ordinary students.

The first student to try to present the dish was obviously also invalid with the "pioneer advantage", and only received 12 points!

Not only did the scores given by the four judges, including Shigeyuki Koda and Minatosaka Roll Blade, only give single digits, but Chitari Natsuya ruthlessly slapped a zero egg on his face!

At first, the audience laughed at the first student, thinking that he was in a hurry, and the result was that the food was very unpalatable, but among the next dozen students, only three exceeded 20 points, and the highest was only 22 points, and until now, Qianyu Xia Ya has not given a score other than 0, which is how high the judges' standards are!

The emcee Yuai Sasaki, who was originally timid and frightened, is now standing in place even more awkwardly, and the bleak atmosphere brought by the low score makes her a little at a loss.

This is the Autumn Audition, which is far more than the brutal competition of residential training!
