The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Tofu

When Zheng Ke entered the practical examination room, his eyeballs almost fell off.

There are three tables in front of the podium in the classroom. If you have watched a food show, you should know that these three seats usually sit with the judges of the food competition.

This time is no exception, the evaluation of the three people behind the desk will also determine the fate of the ten transfer students.

At this moment, Nakiri Erina, who Zheng Ke met in the bathroom, looked at him with a sneer, and the gaze of Xinhu Feishazi standing behind her was even more frightening. Zheng Ke felt like a heinous sinner who was about to accept the law. trial.

But... that accident, he really didn't mean it!

However, no one believed it.

In fact, not only Zheng Ke, but the other nine people who entered the classroom with him also wailed.

"Why is it her? It's really over this time."

Most people wailed.

"Who is she? Is she famous?"

Among this group of people, there were still some candidates who didn't know Nina Erina.

"You don't even know her? She is the chief of the middle division of Yuanyue Academy. Have you heard of the 'Ten Heroes'? It is the 'Yuanyue Ten Elite Council', the highest organization in Yuanyue Academy. There is no one in a million masters. It is said that her current level is enough to become a 'ten outstanding'."

"Yeah, what's even more frightening is that she also possesses the 'God's Tongue'. She has been entrusted since she was a child to serve as a taster for famous restaurants. If she thinks she has no future, she will never be able to survive in the culinary world."

"For us, one bad review from her could even threaten our careers as chefs."

"Dad, it's not that I don't live up to expectations, it's just that my luck is really bad."

Many people whispered to each other below, everyone was surrounded by despair, even Zheng Ke who owns the "Gourmet System" felt strong pressure.

In short, these people seem to be playing a game, and they have encountered the ultimate boss before leaving the Novice Village, and they have no chance of winning.

Now the only reason why they are standing here and not running away is that there are three judges in this exam, as long as they get the support of two of them, they can pass the entrance exam for transfer students.

Although among the remaining two people, one is Roland Chapelle, who is known for his sternness, and the other is a big fat man, squinting, sitting behind the table, who is simply a Maitreya Buddha.

Most of the people didn't know the real identity of this fat man, only one or two people were surprised.

"Damon Xiawu, a third-year student this year, once used his own efforts to help revitalize the soon-to-be-closed Fried Noodle Research Club. I didn't expect him to come here."

These three people have outstanding achievements in their respective fields, and it is not so difficult to satisfy two of them.

"Congratulations on entering the practical test, but this does not mean that you are better than others, it just has some lead in the written test. The main ingredient of this test is tofu. Each of you can make a dish that can make Two of the three of us are satisfied, even if we pass the entrance exam, the loser will be eliminated. The ingredients have been prepared for everyone, and the time limit is one hour. From now on, the countdown begins." Chapel said with a gloomy face.

Japanese tofu was introduced to Japan in the Nara era, more than 300 years ago.The current Japanese tofu is roughly divided into three categories, one is kapok tofu with a harder texture, the other is silken tofu with a fine texture, and the other is stuffed tofu with some ingredients, such as "Japanese tofu" mixed with eggs .

"Tofu?"

"What can it do?"

"That's right, such a dish can't widen the gap at all?"

Many people didn't expect tofu to be the main ingredient.After hearing it, everyone's face was different.

Zheng Ke was also taken aback, and then he felt relieved. Among the few dishes he had mastered, tofu was one of them.

These dishes emerged one by one in his mind, and finally, Zheng Ke made up his mind, "It's you."

Although this dish is often encountered in Huaxia restaurants, it takes a lot of effort to prepare it well.

After making up his mind, Zheng Ke picked a piece of silk tofu and put it on the chopping board.

Erina's gaze never left Zheng Ke, and she hated this man who humiliated her extremely in her heart.

When seeing Zheng Ke take out a piece of silk tofu, Erina was guessing what Zheng Ke might cook.But there are too many dishes that can be made with this kind of tofu, and Erina couldn't see the clue for a while.

Silken tofu has a delicate taste and is unforgettable, but it is easy to stick to the knife surface, resulting in different thicknesses of the cut tofu, which affects the taste.How to handle tofu is also a basic skill.Generally speaking, a chef's strength can be seen in how he handles ingredients.

Erina looked at Zheng Ke intently, inferring his strength.

Zheng Ke didn't know what Erina was thinking. He boiled a pot of hot water while putting the tofu in the sink. After the sink was filled with water, he quickly cut the tofu into cubes of the same size, and then put the cut tofu in the into the water pot.

Erina nodded slightly, it seems that this annoying boy is not useless, at least he knows some basic skills.

Zheng Ke's neat movements also attracted the attention of Roland Chapelle and Damen Xiawu, who were secretly amazed at Zheng Ke's knife skills.Although compared with the top students of Yuanyue Academy, he is still a little immature, but such knife skills are enough for him to knock on the door of Yuanyue Academy.

In contrast, the others seemed to be in a hurry and full of mistakes, but their speed did not slow down, as if they were rushing to cope with the task.

Damen Xiawu shook his head, with a trace of disappointment on his smiling face.

At this moment, Zheng Ke, who had always been relatively stable, also panicked and kept searching for things on the operating table.Picked up a few small bottles, but shook his head dissatisfied, until he found some kind of material in the corner.

Zheng Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

(Damn it, he got what he wanted.)
Erina thought resentfully that it would be great if he didn't find the material he wanted.But Erina was looking forward to what kind of dishes Zheng Ke would make in the end.

At this moment, the first person finally served the tofu dish, which is the most common hot tofu dish in Japan.

Erina picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a small piece of tofu, and put it in her mouth.This feeling is like...

In the scorching summer, Erina, who had been walking for a long time, suddenly saw a faucet. She was extremely exhausted and exhausted her last strength to come to the faucet. She turned on the faucet forcefully, and a foul-smelling sewage flowed out of the faucet...

"Delicious!"

Erina stood up suddenly and placed the plate on the examinee's head.

"I've never eaten such an unpalatable tofu dish... It's like an extremely thirsty person facing a puddle of sewage. It's unforgivable for you to serve such an unpalatable thing."

(So ​​hard to understand...)
(Ms. Erina's sense of taste is indeed different from others...)
The other examinees below thought to themselves, while Nido Feisako behind Erina had a look of admiration.

"I guess you increased the oil temperature by 5 degrees Celsius in order to shorten the time, which made the tofu stale and the taste was extremely bad. It is unqualified to use such a thing to dirty my tongue!"

Erina was the first to sentence the examinee to death.

After Erina's speech, Chapel and Damen also gave unqualified conclusions.The examinee's face was ashen, and he sat on the ground exhausted.

Next, a few more people brought up the dishes, and without exception, all of them were rated as "unqualified".

Those who were eliminated left the classroom with dejected expressions, and those who hadn't handed in their dishes all turned pale, and even their fingers began to tremble.

(Impossible to pass, this group of people are like devils, no matter how good the cooking is, they cannot be satisfied.)
This is almost the common aspiration of the remaining five candidates.

Sanada Yukino left the operating table nervously, and brought the three dishes of tofu dishes he had prepared to the judges' seats.

"Three teachers, this is my dish, spinach tofu."
