In the third round of "Shiji", all the dishes of the three groups of contestants have been completed and presented to the three judges.
Without any hesitation, Yan Kai selected two of the winning dishes, namely Nakiri Erina's French braised veal and Yukihira Soma's fragrant butter chowder rice Inari sushi, while Aku's paws also I selected these two dishes.
Not only Yan Kai and Ah Jiu, but also Anne, the first-class executive officer of WGO, made the same choice as Yan Kai and Ah Jiu without hesitation after the tasting.
And this result, to be honest, is not too surprising.
Somaaki Saito, who is Soma Kohei's "Shokuji", is Lien Chan. Although he has recovered a little after a whole night's rest, his condition must have declined compared to yesterday, and I heard that this kid will not go back after he is tired. Get some good rest and instead sprinkle yourself with water last night and this morning...
If Saito Souaki is a martial artist like Busujima Saeko who maintains the habit of ascetic training in daily life, Yan Kai can understand such behavior. Stimulating the body with cold well water can stimulate the body's potential, which can both It is refreshing and can also put a martial artist's body into a state of excitement.
But Souaki Saito is just an ordinary cook, right? Although his knife skills are sharp and the kitchen knife he uses is very similar to a samurai sword, he does not know martial arts and has no internal strength. Moreover, the physiques of Totsuki students are generally "delicate". However, Souaki Saito sprinkles water to cleanse himself like a martial artist. It's still Hokkaido in the depth of winter... Is it because you don't want to die fast enough?
Of course, Saito Souaki's physical stimulation like this can indeed greatly boost his spirit in a short period of time. If he wanted to make a desperate move to win the next round and regain the disadvantage of the "Gourmet Central Agency", it would be understandable. Unfortunately, He still lost to Souma Yukihira, who had countless whimsical ideas and didn't play by the rules.
Regarding this result, Souaki Saito was not very disappointed, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't really agree with Nagi Kirito's reforms, but Nagi Kiri promised him that as long as the "Gourmet Central Organization" is established and the Japanese cuisine world is unified, more talented cooks can be treated equally to avoid being like him. After a tragedy like his mother happened, Souaki Saito agreed to be loyal to him.
However, looking at the subsequent series of actions of the "Gourmet Central Agency", it does not seem to be giving equal treatment to more talented cooks, but rather persecuting other talented sushi restaurants just like the famous sushi restaurant "Shiro Sushi" that persecuted his mother. A talented and ambitious young cook.
To be honest, he was very disappointed with Nagi Kirito, but Nagi Kiri explained to him that this was the painful period of reform, and as long as it passed, everything would get better. Saito Somei had always regarded himself as a "samurai", and Bushido The spirit made it impossible for him to turn his back on the monarch once he chose him. He could only choose to continue to believe in Nakiri Thistle and fight for him and his "gourmet central organization". Now, he was defeated, but he was relieved. Looking at the man who threatened to " The first-year freshman who "fights with his friends", then think about his superficial "fighting to protect the weak", maybe the real bushido is on the side of Soma Yukihira!
If Saito Souaki only lost to Souma Yukihira by a narrow margin in the end, then Eizan Edazu really lost badly. After all, he faced the full-power "God's Tongue" Nakiri. Erina!
For Nakiri Erina, this battle is no longer a simple "shokuji", but a battle to restore Totsuki's reputation. Therefore, Eizan Edazu, who "tears behind bars" and "chrysanthemums", has just left the detention center. In the first game after his comeback, he faced the powerful former commander-in-chief Totsuki, and was beaten to the point where he doubted his life.
Among the original "Ten Elites", Etsuya Eizan's seat was only one higher than that of Erina Nakiri. However, the reason why Erina Nakiri has always stopped at the tenth seat is entirely because she usually has many other students from the academy. Outside matters needed to be dealt with, and the focus of her work was not on the academy. After she became the commander-in-chief, she even ignored the competition for the "Top Ten" seats, and began to focus on the entire Japanese cuisine world. The seat was like a cloud to her, so the "Ten Elite" members who had never had a higher seat launched a challenge. However, it is generally accepted that Nakiri Erina, who was selected as one of the "Top Ten" during her junior high school years, has a personality that is not inferior to that of The strength of the top five seats and even the top three seats.
As for Eizan Ezuya, there is no doubt about his cooking ability, which is also unanimously recognized. Kobayashi Ryodan even said that Eizan put too much thought on things other than cooking, otherwise he would There is hope for a seat, although it is exaggerated, but it also shows the talent of Etsuya Eizan.
In Totsuki Academy, the "Ten Elite Members" have great power. The "Top Ten" members can use these powers to meet their various needs in cooking, including precious ingredients, secret recipes, rare kitchen utensils... as long as Anything that is helpful to improve one's cooking skills can be obtained with the power of the "Top Ten". This is the power given to the "Top Ten" by the academy, and it is also the reason why so many students flock to the "Top Ten" seats. The social resources that members of the "Top Ten" can mobilize are even more powerful than some outstanding cooks who have been famous for a long time. Of course, this power is also limited and can only be used for cooking matters.
However, after Eizan Edazu became one of the "Top Ten", he did not take advantage of the power of the "Top Ten" to refine his cooking skills. Instead, he spent too much time on things other than cooking. What he thought about every day was How to cultivate power, how to control more catering companies, how to make more money, he has been stuck in the same place in cooking technology for a long time because of his impure mind. This is why he was re-evaluated as one of the "Top Ten" in the "Culinary Central Agency" When it came time to take the seat, his seat was only advanced by two places, but was replaced by the "newcomer" Shoko Kabutoki.
Talent and talent are only one of the conditions for victory, but they are not the only conditions. Having talent does not mean success.
What's more, when Eizan Edasu, who is impure-minded and neglects to practice, faces the "Ice Queen" Erina Nakiri who is more talented than him and has been practicing hard, losing has already become a certainty.
In this case, Soma Kohei beat Souaki Saito, and Erina Nakiri and Tsuya Katsuei Yamaeda. Although the results of these two sets, Soma Kohei's victory over Souaki Saito is surprising, it is also reasonable. After all, Saito Zongming is not at his peak, and he may still have a cold or fever. It can only be said that he lost to Yukihira Soma, but it is understandable.
And Erina Nakiri was completely crushing Erina Eizan, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the outcome.
But in the third group, the duel between the former dropout student Tadokoro Megumi and the current "Top Ten" third-seat Akane Kubo Momo was both playing for the first time, and they were both in peak condition. She showed 120% of her strength, which was a completely superb performance. The theme "apple" is in line with Akanekubo Momo's favorite dessert. The result of this "Sokuji" should be without any surprises.
But now, in front of the two people's cooking, Yan Kai, Ah Jiu and even WGO executive Anne, who should be on the side of the "gourmet central organization" (after all, his commander-in-chief has an affair with someone else's special executive officer), fell silent.
The two dishes are based on the theme of "apple". Tadokoro's dish is Crystal Apple Sour Pork, while Akanekubo Momo's dish is called... "The Queen's Apple Tart"?
Yan Kai raised his head and glanced at Akane Kubotao. This withered figure like a peacock... is she still a queen? Does Japan have such low requirements for the queen?
"What are you looking at!" Akane Kubotao stared at Yan Kai after noticing Yan Kai's rude gaze.
"nothing."
Yan Kai looked back.
Akanekubo Momo puffed up her cheeks and said: "Make a decision quickly! In front of my incomparably cute dessert, is there anything else you need to hesitate about?"
She was very dissatisfied with Yan Kai and Ah Jiu's hesitation, especially Ah Jiu.
Sooner or later you will be my Wang Jiang, how can you be so disloyal!
Although Kitayama Xingyi has repeatedly stated that it is impossible for her to give up Aku, this does not prevent Akane Kubomo from willfully treating Aku as her own Wangjiang.
Also, the name "Jiu Mei" is too old-fashioned. I must give Wang Jiang a cuter name. By the way, let's call her Annie Loper. This sounds great!
Akane Kubotao changed Ajiu's name without authorization in her heart.
In terms of personality, Akanekubo Momo is actually the kind of person who is relatively shy of strangers, but in front of cute things, she is extremely persistent and brave, and she is determined to never give in.
Yan Kai ignored Akane Kubotao's words and turned his attention to Tazoe.
"Xiao Hui, have you made your choice?"
Yan Kai asked Tian Suo Hui.
"Yes Yan Sang, I have already chosen!"
Because Yan Kai was talking to him as a judge at this time, Tian Suohui did not want to be too close to Yan Kai, so he did not call Yan Kai "Kai Jun", but instead called Yan Kai "Yan Kai" like everyone else. mulberry".
"..."
Yan Kai put his hand between the dishes of Tazoe and Akanekubo Momo. He raised his fingers and tapped the table lightly, as if he was having a hard time deciding between their dishes.
Ah Jiu followed suit and stretched his paw between the two plates of food. He flexed his paw and patted it lightly between the two plates of food. He inadvertently used too much force and made the judges' table shake. Down, Ah Jiu was so frightened that he quickly retracted his paws.
Kawaii!
Akane Kubotao looked at Ah Ku with shining eyes, which made Ah Ku feel embarrassed, thinking that she was the cause of the trouble just now, so she could only bury her head in Kitayama Xingyi's arms, making Akane Kubotao feel jealous.
Looking down at her chest, Akane Kubomo felt discouraged again.
These breasts obviously can't bury anything...
Damn it, they are just two useless lumps of fat, Wang Jiang, how could you be bribed like this!
Akane Kubomomo fell into deep unwillingness.
"In the long run, you should choose 'hypertaste', and if it's for 'shokuji', you should choose 'hypervision', but why did you choose 'hypertouch' in the end?"
Yan Kai asked Tian Suo Hui.
Sweet and sour pork is one of the various dishes in the Central Plains that really tests the chef's skill. If the sweet and sour sauce is too heavy, it will take away the flavor of the meat, and vice versa. Tian Suohui's sweet and sour pork with apples combines both sour and sweet flavors. Apple juice is used as sweet and sour juice to thicken the pork ribs, and rock sugar is used to seal the sweet and sour juice and pork ribs, creating a plate of crystal apple gourd pork with crystal clear and beautiful color.
To achieve such a level, the coordination of all aspects of details and the control of heat must reach a very high level. Previously, Tadokoro Hui should still be a certain distance away from this level, but today he suddenly reached it. Yan Kai knew that Tian Suohui must have opened the "Super Touch" in the "Super Five Senses". However, Tian Suohui has not yet completed his martial arts. At most, one of the "Super Five Senses" can be opened, and the second door must wait at least two or three years. There is room to open.
But as Yan Kai just said, in terms of improving cooking skills, "Super Taste", which has similar effects to "God's Tongue", is the optimal solution. If you want to win in "Shiji", you need to open "Super Taste". "Visual" is supplemented by "Spice Inequality", and it is the right way to follow the route of Mira, the "Blue-Eyed Tiger" in "Dark Five", but Tadokoro's final choice is "hyper-tactile".
It’s not that “hyper-tactile touch” is not good. “Hyper-tactile touch” can help cooks keenly sense the subtlest changes in the cooking process. It is a magical skill in micro-manipulation. It has very limited uses. It would be a pity to limit it to cooking. It’s just beautiful. I feel that "hyper-tactile touch" is not the best choice for Tadokoro at this stage, and it can be started after Tadokoro succeeds in martial arts in the future.
"Um..." Tadokoro touched the back of her head and showed her signature shy smile, "I just thought that if it was a 'super touch', it would allow me to pay more attention to some subtle changes in cooking and make some changes. If I make adjustments, I will definitely be able to make dishes that will make people feel more comfortable eating!"
madness!
Nakiri Kiku, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, sneered in his heart.
He also knows about the "Super Five Senses" and that opening the "Super Five Senses" requires good martial arts skills. When the skills are insufficient, only one type can be opened. "Super Touch" is definitely not the optimal solution at this stage, but Tian Suo But Hui chose "super touch" just to make the people who eat his food more comfortable? This is nothing but stupidity!
To be honest, even Nakiri Thistle would be jealous of a cooking skill like "Super Gokaku", but he knew that it could not be taken away. After all, he was old and learned martial arts too late, and there seemed to be someone standing behind Tadokoro. A very big figure in the martial arts world of the Central Plains used force on her, like an old man eating arsenic - because he was too long-lived.
Of course, Nakiri Hisagi also thought about pulling Tadokoroe into the "Gourmet Central Organization", and it was even acceptable to allocate a "Top Ten" seat to her, but Tadokoroe firmly stood on the side of the "rebels", and in the end Nagiri thistle chose to nip it in the cradle.
"It's indeed a choice that suits your personality."
Yan Kai laughed, he didn't think Tian Suohui's behavior was stupid.
No one can maintain absolute rationality all the time. It is normal to be emotional. Moreover, the "Super Five Senses" is a unique skill in the dark cooking world. It has a powerful magic power that corrodes the mind of cooks. There is no such gentleness and enthusiasm as Tian Shihui, who relies on utilitarianism. Depending on which one of the "Five Super Awarenesses" you choose to open, your mind may eventually slide into darkness.
After listening to Tian Suohui's answer, Yan Kai reached out, picked up the chopsticks, and pinched open the layer of rock sugar on the outside of the crystal apple gourd meat, and the juice inside suddenly burst out.
Ah Jiu twitched her nose a few times, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This thing is edible!
Then he stuck out his tongue towards Tazoe's crystal gourd meat, rolled a few pieces of gourd meat into his mouth, and ate it happily.
I didn't eat enough yesterday, and I didn't eat breakfast today. Ah Jiu felt that she could relax her eating conditions.
"Wang Jiang, how could you betray me!"
Seeing Aku sticking out her tongue at other people's dishes, Akane Kubomo suddenly made a very unwilling sound.
Putting the crystal gourd meat into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it carefully, Yan Kai said calmly: "It's not yours, so how can it be considered betraying you? It just prefers Xiaohui's gourd meat to your apple pie. That’s all, is there something wrong with this?”
Well, it is meat after all, and it is pork rib meat. Ah Jiu and Chi Tong are both carnivores.
A long time ago, Ah Jiu's family was forced to eat bamboo due to the living environment. As a result, their sense of taste gradually lost the ability to taste the delicious meat, and they had to give up eating meat. Ah Jiu finally recovered this ability due to atavism. , and now they ask Ah Jiu to become a vegetarian. This is too much!
