Seeing that the "new chef" of Xinchuan Building had arrived, Si Yingshi was a little surprised at Yan Kai's youth, but he still took a step forward and said to Yan Kai in a weak tone: "Is this the 'new chef' of Xinchuan Building? ?”
"who are you?"
Yan Kai asked Si Yingshi who blocked his way.
He really didn't know Si Yingshi, that's why he asked.
But others didn’t think so, because Si Yingshi was a celebrity in the Japanese cooking world. He had been in cooking magazines. How could Yan Kai not know Si Yingshi? So they thought Yan Kai was provoking Si Yingshi with words. , wanting to overwhelm Si Yingshi in terms of momentum.
"I didn't expect that this guy doesn't look very good, but he is quite courageous."
Qianbiao Xia Ya nodded slightly.
It's not easy to be so calm and composed in front of Yuanyue's "Ten Elites".
"Hey...but I just can't accept the bad looks..."
Qianbiao Xia Ya sighed.
"..."
Qianbiao Xia Ya looked at her sister, "That's enough!"
Si Yingshi had a good temper. When he saw Yan Kai asking who he was, he immediately introduced himself seriously: "My name is Si Yingshi. I am one of the 'Top Ten' of Yuanyue Academy. I am also your candidate for this cooking duel." opponent."
Yan Kai smiled slightly: "Didn't you say you were asking for advice?"
Si Yingshi was stunned for a moment. Asking for advice was the way to go on the stage. Essentially, Si Yingshi was here to cause trouble. What was going to happen next was indeed a cooking showdown. Otherwise, why would the three judges be invited here to be cheerleaders?
"This classmate is not thick-skinned enough!"
Yan Kai shook his head slightly.
"Hahaha, Si, you are being laughed at!"
A girl with long red hair and tiger teeth walked out of the crowd, stood next to Si Yingshi, put her arm on his shoulder and laughed.
Eve looked at Rientian Xiaolin who was walking out of the crowd, her eyes moved slightly, and she said to Rgentian Xiaolin: "Hello, sister Xiaolin."
During the "Moon Festival", she and Chitong received a lot of care from Ringtong Kobayashi. At this time, they naturally wanted to say hello when they saw him again.
"Ah, isn't this little sister Eve? Why are you here?"
Kobayashi Rgentan looked at Eve in surprise.
Eve was too petite and had been hiding her face just now. It was only now that she noticed Eve.
"Come to see the fun."
Eve said bluntly.
I'm getting a little tired of reading all the time. Just now Yan Kai said that he had a cooking duel to deal with. Eve felt bored, so she followed her, maybe she could eat some novel food.
In fact, Chitong also wanted to follow, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu pointed at the test paper that she failed, and Chitong instantly withered.
This stuff is so unappetizing that Chitong feels sick to her stomach just looking at it.
"Eve, just stay here, I'll go change my clothes."
Yan Kai said to Eve, and then walked through the lobby towards the locker room.
"Miss Eve please!"
Manager Kaito immediately asked the waiter to bring chairs.
This behavior immediately caused dissatisfaction among many people.
In the lobby where the cooking showdown was about to begin, only three judges had chairs to sit on. The other guests were all standing. They thought it was okay at first, but now a little girl who appeared inexplicably also had a chair to sit on, which made them unhappy. , felt that Xinchuan Tower had neglected them.
Of course, Manager Kaito felt the angry gazes of the onlookers, but he didn't care at all.
He was very confident that after today, it would be them who asked for him, not him who asked for them. So what if he neglected them?
On the contrary, Miss Eve is like a sister to Yan Sang. This is the person he needs to please, and Manager Kaito knows it in his heart.
"This manager of Xinchuan Building is getting more and more outrageous!"
Qianbiao Xiaya looked angrily at Manager Kaito, who was carefully serving a little foreign girl who didn't know the details.
It was fine that he was not allowed to make a reservation and jump in line before, but now he actually let go of the distinguished guests like them and instead served a little blond girl who was still young. This is simply ridiculous!
Even if she is the eldest lady of Kujo-ro, Shinkawa-ro's main store, Manager Kaito shouldn't be like this, let alone she is not one!
"Hua Na, do you think it's... Hua Na?"
Qianbiao Xia Ya didn't get a response from her sister, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qianbiao Xia Na, only to find that her eyes were blurred, her face was red, and her saliva had flowed to her chin.
"Hua Na, what's wrong with you!"
Qianbiao Xia Ya was shocked.
"Oops!"
Qianbiaoshan was so frightened by her sister's voice that she retorted, and then said in the same shock.
"What's so bad? What's wrong with you, Hua Ni?"
Qianbiao Xia Ya said nervously.
This is her twin sister, the dearest person in the world. Although she is usually a bit awkward, she is still her most important sister. Naturally, she cares about Qianbiao Nana very much.
Qianbiao Xia Ni tightened her legs, a shy look appeared on her face, and whispered to Qianbiao Xia Ya: "Sister, I'm wet down there... By the way, sister, do you have a replacement in the car?"
"..."
Resisting the urge to pry open Qianbiao Xana's head to see which part inside was diseased, Qianbiao Xia Ya looked in the direction of Qianbiao Xana's eyes. She knew that her sister must have seen some beautiful boy again. , I want to see what kind of monster can bewitch my sister like this!
I saw an awe-inspiring young man wearing a white chef's uniform and a cold temperament slowly walking into the restaurant lobby. Not surprisingly, my sister had a series of abnormal reactions because of this young man who was more handsome than Si Yingshi.
But this time, Qianbiao Xia Ya did not call her sister a nymphomaniac again, because even her mouth started to become dry at this time.
Si Yingshi is already a top-notch handsome boy. Even among artist idols, it is difficult to find a few who can compare with him. Cooking magazines like to use him on their covers not only because of his superb cooking skills, but also because they want to use his looks to drive sales. the most important reason.
But compared with this young man who was walking slowly, Si Yingshi was suddenly outclassed. Moreover, Qianbiao Xia Ya did not like the cowardly temperament in Si Yingshi. On the contrary, the young man in front of him inadvertently The dangerous aura exuding and the indifference of not letting strangers in gave Qianbiao Xia Ya a feeling of palpitations. Such a man...
"I really want to be whipped by him..."
Qianbiao Xia Ya lost her mind.
"Ah, sister, you actually have such a hobby, you are so perverted!"
Qianbiao looked at her sister in surprise.
When will it be your turn to talk to me? And don’t say it out loud!
Qianbiao Xia Ya gave her nympho sister a fierce look.
Putting on the chef uniform... Mainly because Yan Kai, who took off his glasses, caught everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the stage. Such a handsome young man is destined to be the center of attention no matter where he is, and his special temperament is unmatched by others. All the eyes that were originally focused on Si Yingshi turned to Yan Kai invariably.
It's just that Yan Kai's image changed drastically at this time, and no one could recognize that this ridiculously handsome young man was the rustic boy with glasses just now.
However, the opinions of the people around him have never been Yan Kai's concern. What he has to do now is to end this farce-like cooking showdown as soon as possible and then go back to club activities.
According to the rules he had set, leaving for more than thirty minutes would count as missing the day's club activities. He didn't intend to ruin his full attendance record for this month because of a "little thing" like a cooking showdown, and he would be damaged by his senior sister.
Well, the senior sister never gives up any opportunity that can harm her appearance, although she often steals the chicken but loses the rice.
Seeing Yan Kai standing on the cooking table that should belong to the "new chef", Si Yingshi asked strangely: "Are you the new chef's assistant? Where is the new chef? The duel is about to begin, please invite him Don't waste any more time. Of course, it would be best if he doesn't want to have a duel. In fact, I don't want to spend time on the cooking duel. As long as he is willing to accept the transformation of our 'gourmet central organ', he will only use our 'gourmet food' in the future. Cook the recipes provided by the central agency, and I will go back."
What Si Yingshi likes is to delve into cooking and develop the taste of each ingredient to the extreme. For this reason, he needs to conduct a large number of cooking trials every day. If possible, he would not even do the job of one of the "Top Ten", let alone Not to mention this kind of cooking showdown that takes three hours right from the start.
Yan Kai looked at Si Yingshi calmly, trying to control the "god" that overflowed in his eyes to prevent this delicate young man who looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind from being intimidated: "First, my surname is not Xin, secondly , I am what you call the 'new chef'. I just took off my glasses for the convenience of cooking, so I won't be unrecognizable like this, right? Also, can we start the duel now? I have something else to do and want to end it as soon as possible. "
"hiss……"
Yan Kai's words made everyone present take a breath.
No, this person is the "new chef" who looked very rustic from before? Are you kidding? This and the person just now are two different people! Did Xinchuan Tower hire a gunman?
The onlookers all questioned Yan Kai's identity.
There was no way, the image difference between Yan Kai before and after was really too big, no wonder they had such doubts.
Yan Kai was a little impatient. He didn't have time to explain one by one to the guests who were watching. He glanced at the people around him with his eyes. His black hole-like eyes seemed to suck people's souls. The people present, except for those who were already a little... Except for Eve, who had a strong foundation in martial arts, Manager Kaito subconsciously turned away his head, not daring to look directly into Yan Kai's eyes.
Under Yan Kai's frightening eyes, everyone suppressed their questions in their hearts.
It no longer mattered whether this person was the "new chef", because they all felt a tremor from their souls. The handsome young man in front of them seemed to be able to control their life and death. Any of his words were not humble and they could question them. of.
"I said, I'm in a hurry, let's announce the start of the duel."
After the onlookers were silent, and even the judges closed their mouths and said nothing, Yan Kai said to the staff in charge of timing.
"yes!"
The staff pressed the clock with great obedience. Although he was sent by the "Food Central Agency", he acted as if Yan Kai was his boss.
The clock begins to count down, which also means that the challenge of the "Gourmet Central Agency" to Xinchuanlou has officially begun.
As the numbers on the clock began to beat, Si Yingshi woke up as if from a dream. The quality of a professional cook made him immediately put aside other distracting thoughts and start cooking.
According to the default cooking showdown rules between Tokyo restaurants, chefs from both sides need to complete three specialty dishes within three hours. They can limit the types of dishes or have unlimited play. After the six dishes are completed, they will be evaluated by odd-numbered judges and the total will be calculated. Points determine the winner.
Even with Si Yingshi's cooking skills, it was very hard to complete three must-have dishes that required full concentration in cooking in three hours. So after the clock started counting, he immediately moved and began to handle the ingredients skillfully, with crisp knife skills. , without any unnecessary movements, the timid temperament changed, becoming calm and capable, entering a state of selflessness, eliminating all distracting thoughts, treating the ingredients with seriousness, concentration and even piety, which can't help but attract the attention of onlookers.
Yan Kai, on the other hand, took his time and took his time. Only then did he leisurely take out the ingredients from the ingredient box sent by the chef at Xinchuan Building, and the ingredients he took out also surprised everyone.
A basket of cabbage, a box of tofu and a basket of eggs, that's all, nothing more.
What is Si Yingshi using now? Top-quality seafood, A5 beef, and all kinds of precious ingredients, but Yan Kai only used these most common ingredients to compete with the high-end ingredients prepared by Si Yingshi... This is overconfidence, and he said that he was already preparing for his future Making excuses for your failure?
I didn't lose because of my cooking skills, but because I didn't prepare high-end ingredients.
Are you going to use this excuse to fool me? They don't recognize it!
However, judging from Yan Kai's appearance, he doesn't look like someone who would use such means to shirk the blame, so what exactly is he planning?
Just when everyone was confused, Yan Kai simply cooked the ingredients without using any experienced techniques. He even used only a few condiments, and then went directly to the serving process.
Stir-fried cabbage, steamed tofu, and stewed eggs.
Yan Huahua finished the three dishes, which were simple enough even for a child, in no less than twenty minutes, and presented them in front of the three judges.
"Are you fooling us?"
Seeing Yan Kai bringing the three dishes to the table, the three judges were all angry.
Yan Kai touched his chin, as if he was thinking about something, and then said lightly: "Can you not feel so good about yourself? I'm in a hurry, so I don't have time to fool you. I'll put the dishes here. After you finish eating, take your time. Just wait for that Si Yingshi's dish, I have something to leave first."
This contemptuous expression of "you three idiots" raised the blood pressure of the three judges.
They are all well-known gourmets in Japan. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are authoritative in food criticism. Even Yuanyue wants to be polite to them. However, Yan Kai, a young boy, not only does not flatter them, but also mocks them in this way. Looking at them with such eyes, how could they bear it.
The three judges took a deep breath, silently picked up their chopsticks, took a mouthful of food and put it into their mouths.
As gourmets, they have professional qualities. Before criticizing others, they must first taste delicious food. Otherwise, they will be unconvincing when they criticize others.
However, one bite of such rough food is enough. I put it into my mouth with a few chopsticks, and then I was ready to spray all over my face, letting him know how stupid it is to offend the judges in a cooking showdown!
Each of the three judges had a dish in front of them. They planned to take a bite of the dish in front of them first, and then switch sides so that the three of them would taste all three dishes.
One bite, I only take one bite.
Huh? This dish...is interesting, I'll try it again...
In fact, I don’t want to eat it anymore. After all, I have never eaten such rough food in my whole life. But I am a professional. In order to be fair, I have to force myself to eat a few more bites. Yes, that’s right, that’s it!
It's strange. It's obviously just ordinary ingredients and the preparation method is very simple, but why... is it so delicious inexplicably? If it doesn’t work, I have to try it again and analyze the mystery...
The three judges clearly agreed to only take one bite, but they unknowingly finished all the dishes in front of them. One of them shamefully added more to the empty plate and licked it. The licking sound even made the surrounding guests feel embarrassed.
That's it? You also say that you are a well-known gourmet who has tasted all kinds of food? What you usually eat is British food, right? How shameful it is for you to eat just three side dishes like this!
