Food Wars: Life Cookbook

The morning sun shines through the window onto Dojima An's bed. Dojima An wakes up from his sleep and stretches. He rubs his eyes and looks at the sun outside the window. It seems that today is a good day!

The warm sun dispels the recent coldness of Hokkaido. It makes people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts.

However, this rare good weather cannot make some contestants feel better. The two consecutive defeats undoubtedly make some contestants feel a little at a loss.

Those who can come here are all geniuses, not to mention the contestants who have gone through layers of selection to get to where they are today. As a result, for two consecutive days, except for a few unlucky ones, all of them drew dishes that they are not good at. The other contestants lost in hard power. Especially when you try your best to get a high score, but others perform better under the same topic.

Many contestants' Taoism hearts are directly broken. The contestants who have been praised along the way are facing the real perverts among their peers for the first time.

For example, the unlucky child who ran into Yue Xiaolou. The topic drawn is [Dessert]. The genius from Europe thought he would definitely win. But Yue Xiaolou was also good at cooking. He could make a few palace cakes.

So, the unlucky kid who bumped into him felt that his worldview had been reshaped. His understanding of mainland desserts was still at the level of [Chinese sugar-free bread].

In such a different state of mind, everyone welcomed the third day of the competition.

Familiar room, familiar W.G.O staff. Familiar polite words, but the difference was that today's opponent had changed again. An Asian face. This made Tangdao An unconsciously alert.

Could it be another big guy? Tangdao An thought, and saw the W.G.O staff write down the opponent's name on the blackboard-Jin Jianxun.

Jin Jianxun, studying at the First Chef Academy of Dahan Mingguo. This time, the First Chef Academy of Dahan Mingguo sent a total of 10 people to participate in the competition. In the end, only Jin Jianxun successfully made it to the top 50.

Jin Jianxun always thought he was a genius. Born in a small fishing village, he showed extraordinary talent for cooking since childhood. He was recommended by his family to study in a professional school. Unlike Yuanyue, most of the students in the First Chef Academy of Dahan Mingguo are girls. Most of them are from powerful families and have successfully infected Jin Jianxun with some bad habits.

Gradually, Jin Jianxun spent less and less time on cooking. After coming here, after a short period of discomfort, Jin Jianxun took many measures to ensure his promotion. For example, grabbing the score card.

After reaching the top 50, he won a game by chance and became even more rampant. With a record of 1 win and 0 losses, he thought he was still the genius he used to be. He didn't care how hard it was for him to win 81 points against 80 points. At this time, Jin Jianxun no longer looked down on these players. (Since there are 5 people in each group, one player in each group started the competition on the second day.)

Top ten? It's just something that the great Jin Jianxun can do with a wave of his hand.

Jin Jianxun is already thinking about what kind of reward he will receive after winning this year's championship.

Looking at his opponent this round, Tangdao An, a plain name, but he seems to be quite strong, and he ranked seventh. What a pity, he met me, Jin Jianxun thought confidently.

Tangdao An looked at the name on the blackboard, and it seemed that he should be from a neighboring country. Turning his head to look at the unpredictable expression on Jin Jianxun's face. Tangdao An didn't know what he was thinking.

From the information provided by Totsuki, Tangdao An confirmed that he had never seen Jin Jianxun's information. So there are two possibilities. One is that Totsuki's team believes that Jin Jianxun has no influence on them, and the other is that Jin Jianxun is very hidden, and even Totsuki's powerful connections have not found any news about Jin Jianxun.

Looking at Jin Jianxun's smug look, Tangdao An raised his eyebrows. This guy is so arrogant, is he a hidden master?

At this time, the WGO staff interrupted An Dojima's thoughts, "Please ask An Dojima to come up and draw the topic."

An Dojima came back to his senses and decided to ignore it. Looking at the [Love] on the panel, An Dojima decided to crush it with all his strength.

It was a familiar step again. An Dojima took out another card from the familiar box. The topic of today's food battle was determined to be [Chicken].

Seeing this topic, Jin Jianxun smiled even happier. Speaking of chicken, the [Ginseng Chicken Soup] of the Great Cold Underworld happened to be his specialty.

He looked at An Dojima with pity again. It was a pity that even if you have some strength, you ran into my gun this time. But you can lose to the great Jin Jianxun, so it's not in vain for you to come to this competition.

Jin Jianxun bowed to An Dojima in a pretentious manner, and then turned and leftIt's open.

Dojima An looked at Kim Jianxun's back and murmured, "He's here with bad intentions!"

After the W.G.O staff left, Dojima An sat in the classroom as usual and began to think about his recipes.

Since he decided to go all out, he would choose from his best French dishes. Thinking about it, the name of [French Red Wine Chicken] appeared in Dojima An's mind.

Dojima An began to request his own ingredients.

Red wine, bacon, olive oil, chicken, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, onions, thyme, dried parsley, butter, salt, flour and chicken broth.

Cut the bacon into small pieces and put it in the pot, pour in a proper amount of butter, fry the bacon until the oil comes out and the edges are burnt and crispy.

Marinate the chicken with salt and pepper in advance. Push the bacon in the pot to the side, put in the chicken pieces, and fry the chicken pieces until both sides are golden brown, then remove them and set aside.

Dice the carrots and shred the onions, add two teaspoons of salt and one teaspoon of black pepper to the pot and stir-fry for about ten minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for one minute. Add a little brandy (white wine is also OK). Stir-fry until the onions are soft and fragrant.

Add the previously fried chicken pieces. Pour in half a bottle of red wine and a small bowl of chicken broth. Add dried parsley and thyme. Cover and simmer on low heat for forty minutes.

Slice the mushrooms and fry them with a little butter. Add them to the pot when they are almost ready. Melt 30 grams of butter in the microwave and mix in a teaspoon of flour. Add them to the pot and continue to simmer on low heat for five minutes. The French red wine chicken is ready.

Dojima An put the finished French red wine chicken on a plate. He looked at this dish with satisfaction, and then walked out of the kitchen with it.

In the restaurant, the judges were already seated, waiting to taste Dojima An's work. Dojima An carefully placed the plate on the table and stepped aside.

The judges first smelled the aroma of the dish, then gently scooped a piece of chicken with a spoon and put it into their mouths to chew. Their expressions gradually became surprised and appreciative, and one of the judges even showed an intoxicated look.

"This French red wine chicken is really outstanding."

"And, more importantly, another master of meaning."
