Chapter 391: Qualified
Ogata walked over to the kitchen prepared for all the candidates who took the hunter exam behind the stolen men and Buha.
After the first failed attempt at sushi, everyone was a little frustrated, because the taste of the food really varies from person to person, and it is clear that making zuò dishes is not the best thing for them.
He saw that several candidates were even angry, and they were using kitchen knives in their hands to vent at a few fish that had just been hunted. For them, cooking is not as enjoyable as having a good fight.
From their chattering and cursing, it can be heard that everyone seems to have a lot of complaints about Door Qi's passing standards. But there is no way, who let the examiner of the second round of assessment stand is a food hunter! So even if there is any complaint, you can't offend her at this juncture.
Ogata shook his head, these people's mentality is not calm, and they are still in a state of blind tantrum when they look at things, even if they make 'sushi' again, it is estimated that they will be picked by Men Qi.
He took it slowly, not in a hurry to make his own sushi dishes, but walked over to the sushi that Menqi had eliminated and thrown into the trash can. Looking at these failures that were eliminated with almost a small bite, Ogata's eyes flickered, and he reached out and gently picked one up
Put the sushi that the candidates have made well, but the sushi that has been thrown away is brought to the front of the nose.
"It smells like vinegar." Ogata's nose twitched slightly, his expression changed, and he found a place for it alone with some disgust.
Immediately after that, he reached out again, pulled out a good-looking sushi from it, and sniffed it carefully. This time it was too much wasabi. There was a pungent urge.
Ogata probably selected more than a dozen sushi works for comparison.
Most of the sushi is directly eliminated as a reason. It's the candidates who are too confused. Not to mention that the incision was not neat, and even the spines of the fillet were not removed. As for the sushi that is decently made, but is thrown away after a small bite, it is because of the lack of materials, and the grasp of the taste is not in the flow at all. If it were him, he would also define these people's sushi as 'unpalatable'!
Because everyone thinks that the materials and appearance are similar, they can pass the test, so they are missing a little bit of heart! Usually the perception of ordinary people is: These sushi are just food, and you can fill your stomach.
And the food hunter of Menqi, who has a special storage zài, should regard the word 'food' as very important, rather than excessively demanding taste. In other words, one of the main reasons why all candidates are eliminated is because they don't respect 'food hunters'!
That's right, respect!
The more special the profession, the easier it is to be misinterpreted.
This is the reality that Ogata knows best as a forensic doctor!
It is because all the candidates look at the idea of food hunters with a certain contempt and disdain.
So the young and vigorous door Ki. Save zài a kind of mentality that is angry with everyone. Ogata thinks about it differently, regardless of taste and undesirable for the sake of taste. It's important not to pay attention now!
When everyone didn't notice this, if he put a lot of thought into the sushi he made, it should have become a kind of speculation in the eyes of Menqi who respected food hunters in the eyes of others.
Thinking of this, Ogata returned to the place of the kitchen utensils he had been assigned.
He used the kitchen knife in his hand to scrape off the scales, then shaved off the bones in the delicious meat, and finally used his best scalpel to slice a piece of fish meat with just the right thickness at an oblique angle. Ogata was very attentive to his knife work, because he remembered that sashimi looked simple, but it was actually very picky and delicate. When cutting, the texture of the knife and the fish should be at an angle of 90 degrees. In this way, the fillet is short, easy to chew, and has a good taste.
And he has observed the sushi made by other candidates, and it is completely indiscriminately cut. Because the knife is used to cut along the texture of the fish, the ribs are too long and the taste is not good. When mixed between the grains of rice, it will cause a texture that is difficult to swallow and chew.
Next is the grip of the rice and the combination of seasonings.
Speaking of which, this is also the first time Ogata has made zuò sushi, but he has eaten it thousands of times in Japan, so he should be much better than many candidates on the basis. Although he doesn't know the proportion of seasonings, he can use the stupidest method, that is, after making it, he keeps trying it with his mouth.
As long as it is close to the texture and taste of sushi in his mind, it should be about the same!
When Ogata had probably spent about two or three times as long as the others to make three pieces of sushi in a hurry, he carefully plated them, then breathed a sigh of relief and took them to Menki to taste.
Whether he can get through guò or not, he is not sure. But one thing is for sure, that is, if there is really someone who knows guò in this exam, it will definitely be yourself! The sushi he made was basically close to the level of zuò he made at takeaway restaurants in Japan. It is not an exaggeration to say that after trying the taste over and over again, the painstaking work that was finally screened out.
Men Qi collapsed on the sofa a little tired and lazy, sending away the candidates who came to her one by one with plates, and she didn't look very emotional. Because compared with Buha's casual qualification, Door Qi's requirements are simply too strict for everyone!
Many candidates kept trying, kept being rejected, and left indignantly.
She was already a little impatient, and if anyone sent her junk food that hadn't grown, she was going to terminate the exam! If there is really no one who is qualified to pass the guò at that time, don't blame yourself for being ruthless. Thinking of this, there was an incomprehensible smile on her face, and she seemed to be aware of it by her partner Bu Ha Ting.
Together all year round, Buha Thorn knows Men Qi's personality very well.
Her pursuit of food is almost demanding, so so so many sushi deliveries have not entered her vision.
"Door Qi, do you want to relax the requirements for customs clearance? If this continues, if no one passes the second round of exams, it seems that it will be difficult for us as examiners to end up. Buhar couldn't help but persuade.
Men Qi glanced at him and said lightly: "Buha thorn." We're here to be examiners. I'm not here to tease these guys. As long as they can make a dish that I am satisfied with. I will naturally give tongguò. But it's always been this kind of sushi, and I think it doesn't make sense to go on with the exam! Although they are ostensibly making zuò dishes, they are actually observant, discovery, and conscientious. Only with these elements can you truly become a qualified hunter. ”
"But if someone from the censorship asks," Bu Ha looked at Men Qi in embarrassment, he had always listened to her.
Men Qi smiled: "I will naturally explain to them, don't worry." ”
Just as the two of them were talking, a calm voice rang softly in their ears: "I think that there is really no candidate Shun lì tong guò, and the content of the exam should be reformulated." Otherwise, if the candidates for this year's hunter exam have a bye, many candidates will have an opinion on the Hunter Guild. ”
Hearing the sudden interjection, Men Qi's expression subconsciously froze, and he turned his head coldly and looked at the troubled guy with his eyes.
When she raised her head and saw a figure covered in a black robe, her originally rigid and rigid expression suddenly softened a lot, and her eyes looked at the man standing in front of her a little shyly.
Because this man is none other than Ogata, who she has praised before.
Bu Ha Thorn looked at the blushing Men Qi strangely.
"Well, uh. I almost forgot about you, and although I think we can be friends, I am the examiner for this exam. Or you can't deliberately put water to let you pass guò. Menqi said nervously and a little overwhelmed.
She liked the unique feeling of this man, and she couldn't help but feel the urge to look at his face a few more times.
Hearing her words, Buhar Thorn closed his mouth in surprise.
Ogata nodded, he was very calm, and he didn't think about letting Menqi release the water and let him pass the second round of exams. He handed the plate of carefully prepared sushi he had made to Menqi and Buha, and said slowly, "I made three servings, you two can try it." If you think there is a problem, you can directly tell me, if you have enough time, I will improve. ”
"Oh, it was you." Buha Thorn looked at Ogata, and suddenly remembered that when he asked each candidate to make a whole roasted pig, what he remembered most was the taste of the roast pig sent by this man, which was particularly appetizing.
Now that he had invited him to taste sushi himself, Buha looked with some greed at the three pitiful pieces of sushi on the very small plate compared to his size.
"You did this?" Men Qi took the plate, and saw that it was neatly arranged, every knife edge was meticulous, and the sushi that looked like he had a great desire to eat it alone looked at him in surprise. As an excellent food hunter, at first glance, I can tell how this plate is different from the sushi that others have brought before.
Careful, delicate, first-class knife work, fresh and juicy fillets, impeccable in shape and color, just like the sushi dishes she remembered eating in that Oriental island country.
Ogata nodded, looking at Ki's expression, and felt that the sushi he made should have a play.
Menqi picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of sushi made by Ogata, dipped it in the seasoning in the small plate, and handed it to the eager Buha thorn.
Buha stabbed down, swallowed the sushi on the chopsticks, and began to chew on it, not like roasting a whole pig, but savoring all kinds of flavors.
Men Qi also took a piece of it himself and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious, it tastes really good!" Buha pursed his lips and gave Ogata a thumbs up.
It may be that the sound of the Buha spur is too loud, so that many candidates who have not made any progress and have sad faces have turned their eyes here, just in time to see Menqi tasting the sushi made by Ogata.
What the? Does anyone want to pass guò!?
All the candidates gathered their eyes and looked at the familiar figure.
Black robe, top hat, a solemn aura.
Pairs of eyes are full of colors, envy and jealousy, suspicion and curiosity, and some people try to see what his sushi is like!
"It's the doctor who exposed the disguised examiner, it seems to be called Ogata, is he qualified?"
"It's really him, just now by the river, I saw that he didn't do it for a long time."
"Damn! How so? Isn't that examiner picky? How could someone get through guò? ”
Suddenly. The scene became noisy. As the Ogata ear of the party. There was a lot of chatter. There is an imbalance in everyone's eyes. It seems that everyone should be the same, because of the examiner's tricky taste, and they can't pass the guò exam.
Menki ate the entire sushi in Ogata's sight, and she savored it, the process slower than the Buha thorn.
"It tastes good." Menqi looked at Ogata, this was indeed the sushi she had eaten with the most heart. And in her own right, she has a crush on the people who cook. So it's a lot of plus.
Ogata stared at her face for a moment, then took a napkin from his pocket and handed it to her, "Wipe your mouth." "No matter how strict or bad-tempered a girl is, at some point she will show that she needs to be taken care of.
Seeing that there were still traces of sushi dipping sauce on her lips, it was obvious that the Buha Thorn who had the best relationship with her next side would not care.
Hearing this, Men Qi was stunned and blushed a lot, she took the paper handed over by Ogata and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Ogata, you're qualified!" Suddenly. Men Qi winked at him and said with a smile.
Hear the words. Ogata nodded easily, not showing much fluctuation, not being excited or happy. He just expected this girl, after eating so many unpalatable sushi, she should have a different contrast with the slightly authentic taste.
It seems that some of the candidates heard the word 'qualified' in Menqi's mouth, and they looked at Ogata's figure in disbelief. Really qualified? They heard you right, right?
At this time, a burly candidate stood up, he was a wrestler, stared at Men Qi, and said loudly: "Tell me, why is this kid qualified?" ”
Hearing his voice, Ogata turned around, and someone came out to find fault with him, because the limelight was out of time.
As the chief examiner, Men Qi heard his question, and he was angry: "If you can make such delicious sushi, I will declare you qualified." Now it's the hunter exam, and the questions given by the examiner must be strictly enforced. ”
The burly man gritted his teeth and stared at Men Qi, and said without giving up: "Is the material different, or the method is different, you should always sue us all, right?" Otherwise, everyone is busy and will be constantly rejected by you? ”
Menqi snorted and said, "You only need to taste the sushi made by Ogata, and you will know where the gap between what you make and what he makes!" ”
Hearing this, he didn't believe that a piece of sushi could taste good.
So he walked straight to Menqi, unceremoniously grabbed the sushi made by Ogata and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How?" It was no one else who asked him, but a group of candidates waiting for answers, and everyone thought the same as him, how could there be anything good or bad about this simple dish.
The man's expression struggled a little, and after he slowly swallowed into his stomach, he replied ambiguously, "So-so." ”
What is the answer to this? All the candidates were a little dissatisfied, but only the man who tried it knew that the sushi he had just eaten in his mouth was indeed delicious.
By the time he tasted it, Ogata had quietly left, and he didn't intend to be the target of public criticism, so it was a good idea to disappear for a while and avoid the limelight
Leori shook Ogata's shoulder vigorously and glared at his face fiercely: "Ogata! Tell me quickly, how do you get it? Stinky boy, you actually know guò, do you know that woman? ”
No matter how he guessed, he couldn't guess that the first guy who passed the test was actually Ogata who took the hunter exam with them.
Others may not know, but Leori knows very well that Ogata's cooking skills are actually not very good.
The two of them have lived together for more than three months, and he has also eaten the meals that Ogata has cooked, which can only be said to be average, and it should be half a catty against eight taels with himself.
But right now, in this link involving 'cooking', he actually stands out, which can't help but make Leoli have a lot of room for association, that is, Ogata and the female examiner are old acquaintances.
Ogata smiled bitterly: "I also just met the woman named Menqi, as for how she is qualified, it has nothing to do with the materials and methods." ”
"Is there any special craftsmanship?" Kurapika was also a little anxious at this time. Because seeing that among all the candidates, only Ogata is qualified, and these people are facing elimination, no matter how they think about it, they are a little unwilling.
Hearing Kurapika's question, Ogata shook his head, of course he wanted to see his companion qualified, so he said what he thought.
"Intentions?" Xiaojie and Killua glanced at each other.
Seeing that everyone was still confused, Ogata was just about to explain carefully, when suddenly Menki, who had been sitting on the sofa and had not gotten up, stood up at this time and announced in a voice that everyone could hear: "I'm full, the exam time is over, and the only person who passes is No. 402 Yusuke Ogata!" He qualified for the next level. ”
The atmosphere of the whole venue changed all of a sudden, everyone looked unkind, everyone clenched their fists, and seemed to have a hands-on posture. Because everyone felt that they were being played by this woman, it was just a hell of the exam content and funny results.
Well? Ogata's eyes jumped and he looked at the woman, his face was as usual, but his heart was tumbling.
She ended the exam so hastily, and she was the only one who obtained the qualification, which undoubtedly pushed the two of them to the forefront. As an examiner, it's a bit too casual.
"Huh? That is, we are all eliminated? Leoli said angrily, he also felt that it was a bit unreasonable to be eliminated in such a wretch. (To be continued......)
PS: January is over, there is no break, and I am gradually getting back to my state, thank you to the friends who accompanied me!
