A group of chefs from all over the world

Osaka City Sushi Contest, Qualifier Examination Division.

Liu Xiaofeng, Alice, and the teenager Jinshan who met at the seafood restaurant came to the place of the qualifiers.

"The next group, huh, why are you three people...... Hey, Geumsan, it's you!"

One of the judges sitting in the middle of the judging table obviously knew Geumsan and smiled at him, "This time it's just you, didn't your father come with you?"

"Answer Uncle Nagato, my father can't leave because of things in the store, so let me come alone in this qualifier, so it should be no problem, right?" Geumsan also said politely, completely different from the attitude towards Liu Xiaofeng and Alice just now.

This also made Alice and Liu Xiaofeng look puzzled for a while, and said in their hearts, this person is a little strange, and the group of people queuing up behind are a little unhappy, and they are talking in a low voice.

"Who is this? Playing a big name, one person will come to report, doesn't it mean that it is good to work in pairs, this is a violation, right?"

"Hey, if you are very familiar with the judges, you can mess around, what the hell is going on with the organizers of this competition!"

A group of people whispered, and the three judges were indifferent, and the judges, who were called Nagato by Geumyama sitting in the middle, said, "Haha, of course it's no problem, if it's the second place combination in last year's sushi competition......"

Saying that, Nagato deliberately glanced at the group of people who were queuing behind him, which meant obviously, if he didn't have such strength, just shut up.

Sure enough, after this sentence fell, the people who were originally a little unhappy to talk about it really closed their mouths obediently, and some people even pointed at Jinshan and whispered in surprise.

"It turned out to be him...... Last year, he and his father Taro Yamato almost won the first place, the genius sushi boy Yamato Nishikiyama!"

"Yes, it's him, the sushi restaurant owned by the father and son is also very famous, and I have been there to eat it, and it is really delicious. "

Hearing the discussion of the people queuing up behind, Liu Xiaofeng and Alice were also surprised, and their eyes fell on Jinshan next to them, this guy was actually the second place in last year's sushi competition?

Only then did Nagato set his eyes on Liu Xiaofeng and Alice, and said, "What's going on with your group? Don't worry, line up one by one." "

Seeing that Liu Xiaofeng and Alice were a little younger, their tones also became softened.

Without waiting for Liu Xiaofeng to say anything, Jinshan took the lead and said, "I asked them to come with me...... Wait a minute, Uncle Nagado will help us determine which tuna sashimi is more delicious on both sides of us. "

"Huh?"

Nagato snorted meaningfully, and his eyes fell on Liu Xiaofeng and Alice, and said, "You should be Yuanyue's students, right?"

"That's right. Alice nodded.

"I see...... Let's review the two groups together. Nagato acquiesced in the "duel" between the two groups

It's not the first time that two groups of qualifiers have "just started" up, as long as it's not too much, these judges have turned a blind eye, and in addition to Geumsan's second place group last year, they also acquiesced in their "vexatiousness"

"Xiao Fengjun, take out your strength and teach this guy named Geumsan a hard lesson...... This person is so annoying. Alice quietly came to Liu Xiaofeng's ear and said.

Indeed, this Jinshan is a little inexplicable, and I don't know it at all, so I came up and asked for a competition, which seems to have some targeted taste. But from the way he spoke to his seafood boss and the judges just now, he didn't look like that kind of villain, what the hell is going on......

Liu Xiaofeng had doubts in his heart, and then came to the special cooking table with Jinshan, and put all the tuna meat they had selected on the cooking table. The parts taken by the two are the fattest maw parts of tuna.

This is the best part of tuna, and the taste is also the best, and generally this part of the meat is also the most expensive.

Liu Xiaofeng and Jinshan took a sashimi knife provided by the conference, and started to move in the eyes of the other groups.

Because it is all good tuna meat, it only needs to be cut directly into sashimi, and after the two of them used their knives to cut out perfect pieces of tuna sashimi, the people who were originally looking at each other with a small look gradually turned into surprise.

Whether it is Liu Xiaofeng or Jinshan's knife work, it is very amazing, and some of the groups that have passed the preliminaries before are also surprised, this knife work is completely above them. Not to mention the members of last year's second group, what about this seemingly younger student?

However, Liu Xiaofeng and Geumsan ignored the eyes of others, and in less than 3 minutes, the work of cutting the fish into sashimi and putting it on a plate was completed, and soon the tuna cold dish sashimi made by the two was sent to the three judges for review.

The two of them completed it much faster than the previous team that had passed the selection, and the quality of the sashimi seemed to be very good.

"It deserves to be the second place in last year's competition...... A student from Yuanyue! This knife worker really has nothing to say. "

"Speaking of which, in the past few years, there have been students from Yuanyue who have come to participate in the competitions we have held, and they have all achieved good results. "

"Yes, after all, it's the kind of famous student, so let's try the sashimi on both sides. "

Saying that, Chang Teng and the other three examiners took the lead in tasting Liu Xiaofeng, and then tasted Jinshan's sashimi.

After eating, the three judges were the first to speak, and they were silent for a long time.

"The one on that side is even more delicious, senior, you should have counted it in your heart, right?" Geumsan asked with a confident smile on his face.

Nagato pondered for a moment before he spoke, "First of all, one thing is certain, both of your teams have already qualified to pass the preliminaries, whether it is the quality of the tuna or the sashimi that is cut...... But if you want to have a better taste, it is obviously that Geumsan is more chewy, and the tuna from Yuanyue is weaker. "

Liu Xiaofeng couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, he didn't understand the reason, but he was puzzled in his heart.

Why? The tuna I chose is very firm, so there shouldn't be such a problem......

At this time, one of the judges sitting on the right side of Nagato spoke, "Young man, your experience in tuna is obviously not as rich as that of Geumsan...... The reason for the difference in the taste of tuna is 'stiffness' and 'strength of the fish'. "

"Stiffness and strength of the fish's body?" Liu Xiaofeng frowned slightly, obviously he hadn't heard of it.

At this time, Alice seemed to finally understand something, slapped her palms, and said: "Yes, the tuna that has just been caught will become stiff, which is the same as after human death, and this stiffness is called 'stiffness', but the texture of the fish is completely different, which is determined by the 'strength of muscle breakage'......"

Alice then began to explain this with her wealth of scientific knowledge - the strength of the muscle destruction would drop dramatically after five hours of the tuna's death, after which the taste would change accordingly, but the stiffness did slowly decrease after an average of 10 hours.

In other words, even if the tuna looks tight, it will actually become chewy due to the loss of tendon breakage.

"You can't judge by your appearance...... That's the trap of picking tuna, no...... It should be the trap of picking all the seafood. But for me, no amount of theory is useless......"

Geumsan glanced at Alice, who had just explained from a scientific point of view, and said, "Only after seeing things and touching them can you know, with my hands." "

"What, this person is really annoying, and I explained it like this!" Alice said angrily.

Geumsan didn't listen to Alice's words at all, turned around and continued, "Only by touching the real thing with your hands can you know what kind of treatment it has carried out after it has been salvaged and brought ashore......

Whether there is enough ice to refrigerate during transportation, etc.

, these details must be clear.

The students from Yuanyue listened well, in the best period of this seafood market, the quality of the ingredients and the deliciousness of the ingredients need enough eyesight and practical experience to see.

Half-people like you who can only stay in the classroom, I won't lose to you.

"

After saying that, Geumsan left without looking back, and the look of no one in his eyes made Alice and the others very unhappy.

"What, arrogant guy, it's really annoying, Xiao Feng-kun, we must not lose to this kind of guy tomorrow......" Alice was obviously a little angry.

"You don't need to care about what Geumsama said just now, he's actually a good person, but he's just a little prejudiced against Tozuki's students......" Nagato said.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaofeng and Alice turned around and looked at Chang Teng suspiciously.

"Hey, why be prejudiced against the students of the far moon?" asked Alice, confused.

"It seems that it was because when I went to Yuanyue to take the transfer exam, I had a verbal dispute with the examiner, and the verdict was that he couldn't pass, and I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, after that time, Geumsan became very hostile to Yuanyue's students. Nagato explained briefly.

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Xiaofeng touched his chin and wondered, could it be that this Jinshan also encountered his situation at that time in the assessment of transfer students? He also encountered an unreasonable examiner like Erina, and then he was ruthlessly brushed off because there was no "backstage"?

If that's the case, then it's really bad luck, but it's been holding a grudge for years because of this? So this guy is really stingy...... Of course, it is not excluded that there are other factors in it, but these are not Liu Xiaofeng's concerns, he only wants to win the championship and get the precious recipes rewarded by the competition now.

Now that they've passed the qualifiers, they're just waiting to play in tomorrow's official tournament.

After leaving the place where the qualifiers were held, Liu Xiaofeng asked Alice about tomorrow's competition, after all, she was operating the registration for this competition, and Liu Xiaofeng didn't know much about the specific rules of the competition except that she knew that this competition was related to "sushi".

"Tomorrow's official tournament will be held in two rounds, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. In the morning, the qualifiers, also known as the second qualifiers, are selected, and the six winning teams from several participating groups are selected to advance to the finals in the afternoon......"

Then Liu Xiaofeng learned some information about tomorrow's competition from Alice.

This kind of competition is obviously different from the single halberd, and the final every year adopts a scoring system. Five judges, each judge has 20 points in his hand, and the sum of the scores given by the five judges is the score, and the group with the highest score is the champion.

"Then tomorrow's topic has been announced?" asked Liu Xiaofeng.

"No, the questions won't be announced until the day or an hour before the start of the game, don't think about it so much, it's right to have a good rest tonight and keep your spirits up! Alice said.

"Well, maybe......"

"What's the point, maybe, it's a must! Hey, by the way, let's go to sushi tonight and find inspiration for tomorrow's game!"

"The theme hasn't been announced, what inspiration are you looking for, do you want to eat it yourself?"

......

Although Alice kept reminding Liu Xiaofeng that she must rest well at night, she kept pestering Liu Xiaofeng to accompany her shopping after dinner.

Osaka City, the center of the Osaka metropolitan area, one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas, has been a trading port since the Nara period due to its seaside location, and the Nambakyo was established here, and because of its proximity to the sea, seafood is so abundant, which also provides favorable conditions for the "Osaka Sushi Cooking Competition" held in Osaka City every year.

Osaka is not much less prosperous than Tokyo, Japan, so the night market life here is also extremely rich, until 9 o'clock in the evening, Alice, who feels a little tired, offers to return to the hotel.

This shopping with girls is really a very terrifying thing, Rao is Liu Xiaofeng, who has a good physique, is also tired.

After taking a shower and getting rid of the fatigue of the day, Liu Xiaofeng lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone, waiting for the arrival of the early morning, he was ready to squat in today's special mall.

When it was almost half past eleven, Liu Xiaofeng was already sleepy, and he forcibly held on until 11:59, he barely cheered up, clicked into the special mall, and looked at the goods that had entered the countdown on the mall.

As soon as 12 o'clock arrived, the panel of the premium mall flashed, and four brand-new products appeared in front of Liu Xiaofeng's eyes.

Liu Xiaofeng directly filtered the props worth tens of thousands, and finally locked his eyes on a product with a 1.8% discount and only 540 food points.

Exchange price: 540 food points

With a light tap, more detailed information is revealed.

After a brief look at it for a few seconds, Liu Xiaofeng didn't think much about buying this special prop with a food spot that was only in his early 1,000s.

"Ding, consume 540 food points, successfully purchased 'Luohan Crystal Chop', and has been put into the locker ......"
