Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Less than two hours after the start of the qualifiers, students have already started to present their own pizzas!

After all, although there is a time limit of three hours, most of the shortlisted students also know that once the seeded contestants start submitting, there will be nothing for them...

It's better to show your face now and show yourself in front of many people in the culinary industry, so as to avoid the embarrassment of people are deader than others!

Hmm, Chicago-style deep-dish pizza? After being sliced, the melted cheese will even flow out, and the color of the tomato sauce looks good...

The taste of the thick side is not jerky, but the bottom is not as thick as expected... It gives a lot of space for the filling!

Chicken cubes and bacon cubes, with tomato-based sauce? Although it's quite satisfactory, the mastery of the heat and the thickness of the pancake base is worthy of praise.

Kata, Leonora, and Yuan Guo commented in turn.

Then the score on the scoreboard lit up - 8, 8, 6, 6, 6...

Student Ichiro Ota's final score is 34 points! Now he is ranked first. The master of ceremonies in Area B, Yuai Sasaki, announced.

That's right, before Ichiro Ota was born in the third year, more than a dozen people had presented their pizzas, but the scores were not as high as his!

The 2nd and 3rd graders were already used to this, while the first graders were quite scared.

Is this the scoring standard of Yuanyue Academy? It's too high...

That's right, just like the previous ones, they spoke well one second ago, but their scores were very low afterwards!

Are you sure that each referee has 20 points of authority? No referee has given a score of more than 10 points yet?

There are still people whose total score is in single digits...they are seniors who stand out from the qualifying competition!

And at this moment, an unusually stimulating smell came from the arena in Zone B!

Originally, when they were cooking, Haruki Yume and Nao Sadazuka used ingredients with a smell, but it was not obvious at that time... at least it was not obvious compared to the current smell!

I saw Nao Sadazuka take out the pizza with black bottom and spotted fillings from the oven, and then a strong stench permeated the field...

Ah! What is this smell?

Just the smell is choking, is she here to make trouble?

This is something baked on the dough...

The first-year students have already questioned them, while the second-year and third-year students looked at them with disdain, as if they were saying: It's so rare that you don't even know about hei (mofa) cooking?

They completely forgot that half a year ago, they were also taken aback by Sadazuka Nao in the autumn trials!

Judges, please taste it slowly! This is the 'Blessing of the Deep Sea' I carefully prepared! Nao Sadazuka's face, although not bright, also had a natural smile, unlike autumn It was a here comes the witch look during the tryouts.

A...blessing from the deep sea? Wade, a gourmet judge from Europe, looked at the pizza with several octopus tentacles protruding from the moldy cheese in front of him, and some other shellfish seemed to be hiding in it. It looks more like Curse of the Deep Sea!

However, his professional ethics as a gourmet made him not jump to conclusions, but cut a small piece with a knife and fork.

Putting the blackened pancake base, moldy cheese, and stuffing that looked ominous at first glance, like a desperate hand stretched out from hell, into the mouth together, and chewed lightly.

At this time, the five judges finally ushered in their first impressions during this tasting!

In the Autumn Trials, after Nao Sadazuka presented the dark laksa curry, the judges were immediately attracted by the stinky curry. Tastes different...

At this moment, under the Blessings of the Deep Sea, all five judges in Area B showed genuinely intoxicated expressions, and there was no situation where their expressions were completely opposite to their appetites.

While chewing the pizza indulgently, his nostrils seemed to enlarge a bit, as if he was using his sense of smell to reminisce about the taste of the pizza in his mouth!

Deep sea! Although it's dark, it makes people feel safe and warm! Yuan Guo exclaimed.

I chose the French 'Roquefort cheese' for this cheese, right? It is a kind of blue cheese, together with Italian Gorgonzola cheese and British Stilton cheese, it is also known as the world's three largest blue cheese. It is made of goat milk and fermented in caves. The blue stripes are blueberry plaques, which are also the source of the smell. They grow from the inside out during fermentation. The uniformity and density of blueberry plaques are also the source of blue cheese. A sign of maturity. At the same time, dried octopus feet and mussel meat are used as fillings, and squid juice with the same strong habit is used as a condiment in the bottom of the cake...

Mrs. Leonora started her strange oral habit again. After tasting satisfactory food, the short board in speaking will be made up in a short time, which is called Leonora's version of ripping clothes.

At the same time, she also pointed out what happened to the stuffing with blue spots!

The score of player Nao Sadazuka is out! This is the first player to get five double-digit scores in this game! 67 points! The total score is 67 points, temporarily occupying the top spot. You Ai After the score came out, it was announced.

At the same time, Nao Sadazuka didn't seem very satisfied with her grades...

But at this moment, Nao Sadazuka suddenly saw that Fei Shazi, who was already a top ten player, applauded her encouragingly, and immediately looked shy and satisfied again.

Student Nao has also grown up...Although she still likes food with strong idiosyncrasies, her cooking is not as confrontational as before, and she no longer uses the characteristics of food with idiosyncrasies to 'capture' the judges. Look at the judges. You can tell by the expression, although the smell of the cooking is very strong, it should not affect the players behind too much. Chuangzhen, who is also a top ten hero, said.

Although blue cheese is also a variety of cheese, and Rockford blue cheese is the best among them, there are still some students who can't accept this kind of food that can see plaque...

However, they are quick to accept!

Immediately, a stronger odor dispelled the smell brought by Nao Sadazuka.

What else?

It's that crazy freshman!

Huh? The one who wants to form a club by himself?

That's right, it's the 'pervert'...

I saw Haruki, an oily girl wearing small sunglasses, with a confident smile on the corner of her mouth, placing several plates of pizza with the same obvious smell in front of the five judges...

Welcome to taste my babies' masterpiece... I call it 'Bamboo Sea Pizza'! said the oil girl Haruki.

My baby's masterpiece? Shouldn't it be 'my baby's masterpiece'? Wade said doubtfully.

At this time, the five judges also saw that some fillings were exposed under a layer of khaki cheese...

This is bamboo shoots and... what kind of meat?

It can be seen that in addition to the bamboo shoots, there should be some kind of shredded meat. From the color, it may be chicken, duck and other poultry meat, but in the strong odor of cheese, it does not seem to be unique to poultry meat The smell of bamboo shoots, but mixed with a fragrance that blends with bamboo shoots?

Students who have heard Haruki's speech and seen his concept of uncommon ingredients probably have some guesses about these white meats, but they don't know what they are!

Then let's try it first! By the way, this bamboo bakeware is really strange, but doesn't this strong cheese completely overwhelm the fragrance of bamboo?

With doubts, the five judges each cut off a small piece of the pizza in front of them and put it in their mouths!

A moment ago, I felt that the taste of this cheese was too spicy, but I was immediately conquered by the bamboo fragrance of the pizza!

Regardless of the base, sauce or filling, there is a fragrance that makes you feel like you are in the sea of ​​bamboo...

Among them, there is no need to think too much about the sauce. It is not uncommon to have a fragrant sauce, not to mention bamboo shoots. It is strange that there is no fragrance of bamboo!

However, the shredded meat in the bottom of the pancake and the stuffing can also feel this way, which is surprising...

It's bamboo juice! The dough for this cake is kneaded with bamboo juice and high-gluten wheat flour, right? Xiangtian said.

Bamboo juice?

That's right... a kind of water taken from bamboo, which is filtered, purified and activated by the bamboo body. It is rich in biological enzymes, amino acids and trace elements needed by the human body, and has a clear bamboo fragrance!

But this 'meat'... has a strange taste. It is different from the meat I have tasted before. What kind of meat is it? This bamboo fragrance...doesn't seem to be the result of pickling! Xiang Tian wondered.

As a gourmet, he couldn't taste what kind of meat it was?

This made Xiangtian and other judges feel very puzzled!

The oily girl Chunshu smiled confidently, and then said: It's the 'bamboo worm' carefully cultivated in my bamboo forest at home!

Bamboo...worm?

That's right, a kind of 'worm' that will emerge as a bee in the adult stage and lay eggs between the nodes at the base of the young shoots of bamboo. Nutrients! In 20 days, it can grow from the size of a rice grain to the thickness of a finger. This is also a good time to eat! These are the results of the bamboo worm larvae that have been blanched, and I peeled and changed the knife...

The oily girl Haruki talked eloquently, but the five judges all felt that this guy's peeling and changing the knife was simply a bad intention!

Although some people think that the appearance of insects is 'disgusting', but I think they also have their own unique taste, don't they? For example, this bamboo insect, its sweetness is similar to butter with bamboo fragrance, is it intoxicating? The Jinuo tribe in the Chinese nation has a tradition of using it as a delicacy! This is also the result of generations of reproduction of the bamboo insects I brought back when I was studying abroad! Said the oil girl Chunshu.

This... Xiang Tian and the other judges looked at each other, then nodded, and decided to ignore the source of the meat as well!

After all, as Younv Chunshu said, all the bamboo worms he used have passed the test. They are not only non-toxic and harmless, but also rich in protein, so...you can just give points based on the degree of deliciousness!

Wait, then what kind of cheese... is it? I have to say, you have a good control over it. It obviously has a fermented 'spicy' smell. If you are far away and can't feel the bamboo fragrance, you will feel it. The smell is too exciting, but when you get close, it makes you feel that it is perfectly combined with the bamboo fragrance. Wade asked again.

Xiangtian's complexion was a little weird, as if he already knew something...

This is the result of the fermentation of my 'babies'! I saw the oily girl Haruki took out a transparent vial, which seemed to contain some kind of powder?

But just after he shook, Powder started to shake too much, as if... a living body?

What is this...? Yuan Guo asked nervously.

Xiangtian said at this time: Sure enough, it's 'Casu Masu Cheese'? I tasted it once in Italy.

Casu Masu Cheese? Wait! Could it be the legendary...

Yes, using 'live fermented' sheep's milk cheese! Using the larvae of the casefly to decompose the raw materials of fermented Pecorino cheese, a special fermentation process is carried out! Kada said.

At this time, the oily girl Haruki said again: Don't worry, I have used special insect repellent spices before using them after taking back all the 'babies'! And...you can tell by how active they are. Kasumasu is so fresh! Similarly, this is also an ingredient that I made myself and passed the test! Well, judges, I hope you will not be confused by other psychological obstacles, be faithful to your tongue, and give A fair score!

The students who heard the conversation on the field have already started verbally criticizing the oily girl Haruki...

What are you doing? It sounds disgusting! Get down quickly!

You still want to create your own research society? Our research society will ban you from entering!

Is it necessary to score? I think he can be directly expelled from the field...

How can that be delicious?

Because of the sunglasses, I can only see the expressionless face of the oily girl Haruki, but I don't know if there is tension in his eyes.

And at this moment, the scores given by the five judges were displayed...

16 points...17 points...17 points...18 points...16 points!

84 points! Here comes... the real high score in this game! Surpassing Nao Sadazuka and Haruki, a one-year-old girl, temporarily tops the list! Youai announced excitedly.

What, what?

How can it be?

Really...is it delicious?

The doubts from the students off the court could not change Haruki's high score!

I really want to taste it myself! Chuangzhen swallowed, his eyes sparkling.

Fei Shazi said: But after all, it's a bit of a minority. If it's not a professional gourmet, cook, or a diner who likes insect dishes, I'm afraid... many people will not be able to accept it! It's Miss Erina's dishes, It is the most perfect!

Eh? Do you know what Erina did?

I don't know, but Miss Erina must be the most perfect!

...

And when Haruki Yamanaka took the opportunity to promote his ingredient theory and research society to the audience, Kaori Yamanaka, who had already walked behind him, poured cold water on him without hesitation: Give up, you Those 'ingredients' are destined to only be circulated in small circles!

At the same time, Kaori Yamanaka also presented her own pizza...

Compared with Yume Haruki, the fillings used in Kaori's pizza are more obvious at a glance!

Salmon-based fillings can be seen in the pale cheese!

In addition, there are dried banana slices, cherries and other fruits...

I'm sorry for making everyone's mood hurt by a certain guy. Now let's let everyone relax with my 'salmon pizza'! Yamanaka said with a very comfortable smile.

Well, I really need to ease my mood. Wade muttered.

At this moment, Kaori Yamanaka was already laughing out loud... Sure enough! Behind the oil girl, there is always this kind of opportunity to add points to my spiritual cooking! Only after everyone's psychology is shocked can the preciousness of my cooking be more reflected! I'm already on my way to the next city!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Tian Suohui quietly.

In her opinion, Tian Suohui definitely wanted to present the dishes at this time, but she didn't get the chance...

However, it was discovered that Tian Suohui didn't look anxious at all, and instead comforted the passing oily girl Chunshu.

snort! He is not a judge! Are you still acting? Kaori Yamanaka thought to herself.

And just after the judges took the seemingly ordinary salmon pizza into the mouth, even the audience outside the field saw the weirdness...

Have you noticed that the expressions of the judges have suddenly become more 'peaceful'?

That's right...it seems very relaxed?

It must be because of the 'Dark Magician' and 'Bugman' in front of me, right? Now we finally have normal pizza...

At the same time, a few top students such as Erina and Oda Nobuna frowned at the judging panel.

Chef's heart? It seems a little bit different... Oda Nobuna muttered.

It's not Chuxin, it's 'spiritual cooking', a skill that has been lost for a long time, and its rarity is no less than 'chuxin'. Erina said.

Oda looked at her in surprise, and remembered the rumors about the origin of the Nakiri Clan... unexpectedly recognized a memory that even she didn't know at a glance, could the rumors be true?

Soul...cooking? The effect is similar to 'Culinary Heart'? Oda Nobuna simply asked for advice.

It is said that compared with the real 'cooking heart', the requirements for 'heart' are much lower, because in ancient times, many mind cooks went astray, cooking with hallucinogenic and even addictive illegal ingredients, so they were called The culinary world collectively boycotted it, and it was once lost... Although Erina didn't look at her, she also said what she knew.

Thank you for your answer.

Perhaps this is also a manifestation of the unique pride of the two.

Suddenly I feel so peaceful inside!

Sure enough, I still felt a little 'awkward' before, right? But now I don't feel that way at all!

“Very heartwarming food!”

And the deliciousness of the salmon, and the sweetness of the fruit, are just right...

This salmon should have been treated with diluted garlic juice, right? Even after grilling, there is no fishy smell at all, but the deliciousness is more prominently expressed!

The judges all sighed, but for some reason, Leonora didn't make a sound this time...

Suddenly, Xiang Tian also slightly opened his squinted eyes, and said: So, the pancake base made of deep-sea salmon and whole wheat contains the trace element 'selenium', which has an effect similar to that of an antidepressant!

Leonora also said at this time: Not only that! The alkaloids in bananas and the anthocyanins in cherries all have the effect of invigorating the spirit, garlic also has the effect of suppressing anger, and cheese is also specially chosen The fat-free type can relieve tension and anxiety...

Huh? Why do you always feel that Mrs. Leonora's state is a bit strange? Fei Shazi muttered to himself.

Her good daughter, Alice, is different from Fei Shazi who pays more attention to Miss Erina. At this time, she has already gone to the A competition area to watch Liu Maoxing's game. Otherwise, she might be able to see her mother's current state...excitement!

I saw that Leonora had rarely removed her gentle and touching smile like the big sister next door, and put on a more cold look...

A soul cook? I really miss it!

Could it be that you too... Kaori Yamanaka looked at Leonora in shock.

Suddenly Leonora withdrew her previous cold expression and sharp eyes, and returned to her usual appearance.

It should be in the past! Hohohoho, but later 'he' let me know that there is no cooker who can truly 'manipulate' the mind, because the mind is a more complicated thing! Leonora said with Said with a girlish chuckle.

Yamanaka hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but retort: ​​Doesn't exist? No! As long as it is a real top-level spiritual cook, it will definitely be able to do it!

Leonora didn't explain much, but shook her head, and then gave the scores together with the other judges...

Another high score!

79 points! The high score has appeared again! Kaori Yamanaka, temporarily ranked second! Yu Ai announced.

At this moment, Oda Nobuna, who was wearing a red sexy kimono, seemed to be preparing to present her own pizza...

It's time to let you all know how amazing it is...huh? Oda Nobuna felt someone tugging on his clothes, and turned around to find a girl with blue hair.

Huh? Do you want to be provocative? Oda Nobuna looked at Tian Suohui with hanging eyes.

A sense of sight of a bad girl bullying a good female classmate.

Tian Suohui was startled, and quickly bowed: Sorry, sorry, sorry...

But after that, he was still timid but determined to look at Oda Nobuna and said, But, can I deliver the pizza first?

Huh? You really are provocative... No, is it because of what she said before? Oda Nobuna realized something.

That's right! I want...to let Yamanaka-san understand that what a cook has to do is not to 'manipulate' the minds of diners...

Tch, you really meddle in other people's business... Well, then let you go first!
