Chapter 4 On how to make the happy mood last longer
"I'm going to lose to a stalker or something...... I can't believe it, I can't believe it......" Under the snow, he covered his cheek with one hand, and the other hand was supporting the countertop of the cooking classroom, looking like he was about to be unable to support it, his long black hair was weakly tied together with his low head, and his petite body slowly tightened to the middle, as if the blow was too big and he couldn't get up again.
After Yuhihama made the final verdict, it was only natural that the highest rated person won the victory, and of course, this result was already expected by me.
"So, it's my victory" I looked at the two defeated generals in front of me with a smile on my face, and my mood was indescribably happy, especially when I saw this cold goddess under the snow twisting her brows and biting her lip, revealing a very unwilling look, the joy in my heart was immediately magnified to the extreme - really not too happy!!
This is really in response to that sentence - when the person who usually shakes S is adjusted to M, the sense of accomplishment is really to break through the rhythm of the sky...... Ahh......hh Ahem, this kind of fact or something, I won't admit it if I die......
Alright, back to business.
As planned, I abducted Zeus and his daughter (Athena, the goddess of victory) home, and am now happily on my honeymoon with her......
Hikiya, who had been silent, watched back and forth between the smug me and the depressed snow, and finally turned his gaze to Yui, frowning as if he was in thought.
"Now, Yubihama" The silence of the crowd was now, and he was the first to speak.
"Huh!?"
"I remember that you and Itai are childhood sweethearts! In this case, the verdict will be ......."
Well, you've finally noticed this loophole! Rational judgment, but ...... Still expected, now officially begins - Follow-up Plan B.
"Oh, this is not good, Bikiya-kun, are you suspecting Yui of favoring me, my childhood sweetheart? Are you doubting the impartiality of the referee?" I tried to pretend to be a little flustered, so as to arouse the suspicion of Hikiya and Yukishita, like this...... Hehe, the two powerless little white sheep fell into my trap and could only continue to act according to my customized script.
"No, I think the issue of Hikiya-kun is worth discussing, after all, Yubihama-san cannot avoid the influence of subjective judgment, and therefore cannot avoid the suspicion of favoritism, so I think it is necessary to increase the number of referees to strengthen the fairness of the game. "As I expected, under the snow did not hesitate to follow the footsteps of Hikigu and stepped into the second trap I had prepared.
"yes, it's a pity" I covered my face with my hand slightly, hiding the corners of my uncontrollable grin.
"Then how about the three of us players each taste the three cookies, and then consider the results together?" After recovering his expression, he put down the hand covering his face, and I made another suggestion, and both Yukishita and Hikiya thought about it, probably looking for any missing conditions or loopholes.
"Add another condition, remove the highest score and the lowest score, and take the average as the judge, so the result should be more fair. Xue Xia calmly put forward a more reasonable plan, statistics are good! She is worthy of being called the first in the school, the perfect superhuman woman.
"It's still a bit of a loophole, after all, Yui and I have two votes, even if you use your kind of method, it's still a little unfair, it's better to do this, Yui has already judged once, this time the three of us will be the judges, and taste the other two cookies that don't belong to us for scoring. If there are only three people, the sum of the scores will be used, and the person with the highest score will win, so it will be fair, "This is the best solution I can think of, and there should be no loopholes." Hmm~~ I asked everyone for their opinions, and they all agreed.
"You guy...... What is the purpose?" The snow narrowed her cat-like eyes, constantly observing my expression, as if trying to find some loopholes in my expression. I just smiled at it and ignored it.
"So~~" I pulled the lid of an upside-down pot on my cooking table and turned it open vigorously, "Qiang Qiang ~~ The second round of the battle for the king of the Ministry of Cuisine has begun~~" As my words fell, two other plates of cookies appeared on the table where the lid was covered, each with a small note attached to it, one with the name of Yukino under the snow, and the other with the name of Hachiman Hikiya, but looking at the appearance of the cookie, it seemed that it was no different from the cookie that Yui tasted. But if you really think they're all the same cookies,...... Then you couldn't be more wrong.
============================= the dividing line of the Second Battle of Kings =============================
"Now I would like to announce my rating of the contestants under the snow: skill, 90 points, taste, 87 points, as for the soul in your work, it's a pity, but I have to tell you that it is a failing score of 56.
So in the end, according to the proportion, your score is slightly lower than Qigu, which is 83 points."
Just like painting, there must be a soul in the work, every dish, every dessert is the embodiment of the soul of the pastry chef, but there is no such element in the dessert made under the snow, just meticulously follow the steps in the book, step by step to complete, such a work, although the taste is not bad, but it is difficult to make that kind of work like a soul touch - eye-catching works.
I can probably understand the reason why I can't do it under the snow.,The cold goddess in the school.,Snow under the snow.,It's always a kaolin-like existence.,The lonely snow lotus.,No friends.,So I've never experienced what kind of emotion friendship is.。 And at home, I remember that the relationship between her and her sister was not very good, and as a famous daughter, it is estimated that there are many problems in terms of family affection because of her parents......
He has never experienced the beauty of the world, nor has he experienced the ugliness of the world, but he is just a poor child, a pathetic bird in a birdcage who has lost his freedom.
"In the end, according to the results of the statistics, my total score is 185 points, Bi Qigu's score is 168 points, and your score under the snow is 170 points, so it's really a remnant~~ You two lost again~~"
You're still too tender, why don't you think I'm going to come up with the final plan in the first place!? Of course, it's for the sake of being able to play longer (laughs), and it's going to last a long time!
The first time I didn't bring it up and I won, I was able to get the first happy pleasure, of course, this is certainly not enough, I said that I was far from satisfied, and then I originally planned to bring up the loophole when I was 'unintentional', but it turned out to be said directly through the mouth of Biqi Valley, which also saved me a lot of effort. The appearance of the loophole gave Yukiya new hope, and then lost to me a second time, so that I had a second pleasure.
The pleasure of one time was doubled by me, and I was really witty.
Isn't it too bad for you to say I'm doing this?...... Maybe, but looking at the snow that has always been arrogant, I have to show that very reluctant to admit defeat cute expression, which is really very pleasant, and I can't help it...... It's like the weird Shu millet knows that the act of abducting Lori is incorrect, but they still can't help but do it.
In such a comparison, I'm really a super gentleman, haha~~
"You're so professional, and your reviews are so strict. Bikiya's expression was a little surprised.
"Of course, I'm an orthodox aristocratic pastry chef at Maria Pastry Academy, but I'm not as good as the master and Amano Strawberry seniors, and although my skills are not as good as me and Yukishita, I can think of a combination of chocolate and grapes. You're also very unusual, than Qigu.
Indeed, the slight sweetness of chocolate and grapes represents "a sweet family". The happy life of a family is always ordinary with sweetness and happiness. And ordinary chocolate brings ordinary sweetness and ordinary happiness, allowing you to taste and feel the taste of ordinary. If you can reach this level, you are basically on the threshold of a pastry chef, and sooner or later you can also become a real pastry chef. ”
"Hmph, I'm the man who wants to be a househusband in the future, how can I do it if I'm not powerful. As a househusband, when his wife returns home from hard work, he will provide her with a comfortable environment faster and better, and create a warm and comfortable ......home for her."
"Uh...... So what...... You can wait until later, well, there will be later...... There will definitely be one. As he spoke, Bi Qigu's voice slowly lowered, don't turn your head to avoid the sight of the three of us.
"Ahem...... After talking about the problem of Biqigu, that is, the problem of skill, then let's talk about your problem under the snow" Taking a deep breath, I continued, "Cooking is like painting, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty, every taste, every kind of paint, represents a different mood, in terms of 'painting skills', your 'painting skills' under the snow have reached a very proficient level, which is very remarkable, and it can be called rare among peers." However, it is useless to be skilled in 'painting', your 'canvas', what you depict in your cooking, is like a scene taken by a camera, although it is very beautiful and very close to reality, but it does not express anything about yourself, such a 'painting' has no value. Yes...... It may be too much, but it's only as valuable as a product in a factory."
"Why,...... Obviously, I came according to the production procedure, why is it worthless?" he bit his lip tightly under the snow, and there was some unwillingness in his tone.
"If it is according to the standard production procedure, the machine can be more proficient than you, and even the fineness of the controlled heat materials can also reach a higher level, so I can't give you a higher evaluation, I hope you can understand.
The recipes, production techniques, and so on left to us by our predecessors are indeed precious assets, but as a true chef, we should never be limited by this, because each guest has different tastes, and the communication between our pastry chef and the guests lies in the dessert,...... So, now the dessert we are going to make now should be for the person who tastes it. ”
As I spoke, I observed everyone's reactions, and I looked like a good boy who listened carefully to Qigu and Xuexia, only my unsuccessful childhood sweetheart, the stupid Yui, kept making small movements, so I couldn't help but helplessly hold my forehead.
