"Your apple pie is very exquisite, using many meticulous mixing techniques, and shaping the food as a work of art... And Xiaohui's sweet and sour pork looks simple to you, but its work is all in the details. Just like your apple pie, her sweet and sour pork is a real work of art!"
Yan Kai sat back on the judges' table, and then said slowly: "Do you still feel that you lost unjustly?"
Akane Kubomomo remained silent.
The dish that took two hours to be carefully crafted and made with all the strength was actually lost to the home-cooked food from the Central Plains. Even though Akanekubo Momo had admitted that she had lost to Tadokoroe, she still felt very unwilling to accept it.
Seeing Akane Kubotao's reluctance, Yan Kai explained a few words: "Just as minimalism is not simple, Xiaohui's sour pork looks simple, but aren't you curious why it only takes about ten minutes to make one dish? Will the good sour pork be served when the game is about to end, like you do?"
Akane Kubotao was stunned, she really hadn't thought about this.
She already knew from the tasting just now that Tadokoro's plate of sour pork was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. It was obviously freshly made, otherwise the deep-fried meat balls inside would slowly melt the outermost layer of rock sugar, destroying the integrity of the dish. .
"The preparation of sweet and sour pork is very simple, but it is extremely difficult to make it well. The nickname of 'Kitchen Killer' is not for nothing. Any detail that is not handled well will leave defects in the dish. Even if it is Xiaohui also failed seven times during the production process. The sweet and sour pork you just ate was the eighth time she made it. It was completed just before the end of the competition. It was extremely thrilling. Really, I was so excited when I watched it. I'm worried for you, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it in the end!"
Yan Kai looked at Tian Suo Hui and said.
Tadokoro lowered her head in embarrassment: "I've obviously turned on the 'super touch', but it still failed so many times. I'm really ashamed!"
"Okay, the morning's 'Food Halberd' is over. The three 'Rebels' side won. Do you have any objection to this result?"
Yan Kai glanced at the students in the audience. Even though Yan Kai had put on his glasses at this time, the students who had just been oppressed by Yan Kai's eyes still took a step back in fear like frightened animals.
This person...can't be offended!
"It looks like there is none." Yan Kai nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Tian Suo Hui, "Xiao Hui, please go down and rest quickly, you should be very tired already!"
"No, no, I can still..."
Tadokoroe waved her hands repeatedly, but just as she was about to step forward, her feet gave way. Soma Yukihira, who was beside her, quickly helped Tadokoroe.
"Xiao Hui, what's wrong with you?"
Yukihira Souma said with genuine concern. At this time, Tazoe's face turned pale, and her whole body seemed to be exhausted.
"I'm fine...I'm sorry for Chuangzhen, my vision suddenly went dark just now and I..."
Tadokoro Hui forced a smile and said.
"Yan Sang, what's wrong with Xiao Hui?"
Xingping Chuangzhen hurriedly asked Yan Kaidao.
Yan Kai said helplessly: "This must be the first time for Xiaohui to use 'hyper-touch' in a competition. Turning on 'hyper-touch' for two consecutive hours has approached her mental limit. She was holding on hard before, but now that the game is over, she has to hold on. After she breathed her last breath, all the fatigue came back... so I asked her to go back and rest quickly!"
"Is 'hyper-touch' such a dangerous skill?"
Yukihira Souma was shocked.
"It's not that 'super touch' is dangerous, but Xiao Hui's martial arts foundation is weak. It's too reluctant to turn on 'super touch' now."
Yan Kai explained.
"The 'super five senses', including 'super touch', essentially use special methods to increase the body's sensory capabilities by tens or dozens of times. Once turned on, the brain needs to withstand more than ten times per unit time. The information flow will be several times or dozens of times, and the mental consumption will naturally increase accordingly."
"Not to mention Xiaohui, even the Dark Cooking World, which has developed the magical skill of 'Super Five Awakenings', each of its leaders, the 'Dark Five Tiger Stars', only masters one of the 'Super Five Awakenings'. Only Kaiyu, the leader of the dark cooking world, has mastered all five "Super Five Senses" by himself. Kaiyu himself is not only a chef, but also a martial artist who has practiced both internal and external skills to a very high level. He is the only one like him. Only a few people can master the 'Super Five Awareness' by one person, but others cannot."
"Xiao Hui practices the unique martial art 'Inverse Universe' left by Kaiyou. Practicing this martial arts to a high level will naturally help Xiao Hui to open the 'Super Five Senses' without any obstacles. However, before the martial arts is completed, it is necessary to open and use one of them. That's the limit. I actually don't recommend Xiaohui to open the 'Super Five Awakenings' when his martial arts has not reached a certain level, because any of the 'Super Five Awakenings' is a huge burden for ordinary people. Shen may even hurt himself. Xiaohui is still young and needs to learn more. There is no need to be so anxious to learn the 'Super Five Awareness'."
Yan Kai sighed slightly after finishing speaking.
"Everyone has worked so hard, so I can't be lazy, right?"
Even though she was weak and uncomfortable, Tian Suohui still showed a smile and said goodbye.
"You can't mess around with that! You turned on 'hyper-touch' for too long!"
Yan Kai really wanted to steal Tian Suohui's head, but seeing how weak Tian Suohui looked, he could only hold back.
"It's okay Kaijun, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a while..."
Tian Suohui suppressed her tiredness and said to Yan Kai.
Yan Kai thought for a while and said: "Speaking of Xiaohui, 'hyper-tactile' enhances the sense of touch, and skin is an important medium of touch. Ordinary clothes worn on you should be as uncomfortable as sandpaper on your skin, and it will also It greatly reduces the sensitivity of your sense of touch. So I suggest you wear less clothes next time you turn on the 'hyper-tactile sense'. It doesn't need to be too little, it should be about the same as Mito Yumei's casual clothes."
"Classmate Yu Mei's casual clothes?"
Tian Toe, who was supported by Yukihira Soma, recalled Mito Yumei wearing casual clothes when she first met her.
Bikinis that only cover key parts, hot pants that are too short to cover underwear...
"Bah..."
There was a puff of green smoke coming out of Tazoue's head, and her originally pale face turned red, as if she could make an egg.
"It can't be done! It can't be done, Kaijun! It can't be done by me!"
Tadokoro waved her hands repeatedly, so much that she even pushed Soma Yukihira, who was supporting her, away.
"You guy, Xiao Hui is already very tired, don't make fun of Xiao Hui!"
Nakiri Erina said to Yan angrily.
"I'm just trying to cheer up Xiao Hui. Look, isn't she in much better spirits now?"
Yan Kai spreads his hands.
Of course, he didn't really intend for Tadokoro to learn Mito Yumei's dressing style, he was just teasing her.
Since you can't knock Tazoe on the head, let's use other methods to make her remember the lesson!
This Central Plains man with a bad character!
Nakiri Erina glared at Yan Kai fiercely.
"Okay, enough gossip, there are a few things I want to say."
Yan Kai clapped his hands and made a sound, attracting everyone's attention to him.
After everyone looked at him, Yan Kai said: "The third round of the 'United Food Halberds' has ended. The remaining numbers of both sides are currently seven to two. Of course, the 'United Food Halberds' competition is about which side survives." In the end, the temporary lead in numbers doesn't matter, but... the 'Gourmet Central Organization' side can't gather the three contestants for the next round, right?"
The leader of the "Gourmet Central Organization", Nakiri Hisashi, looked gloomy. He never imagined that the situation would be so bad. Eizan could forget it, and even his trusted Akanekubo Momo and Saito Souaki would lose. , the situation suddenly slipped in a very bad direction.
But at such a critical moment, he couldn't show any cowardice. Nakiri Kiku could only say forcefully: "So what? Even if there are only two people, it is not impossible to make three dishes within the specified time. That year Caibo The senior started the 'United Shogun' with fifty students at the same time and won, I believe Tsukasa and Xiaolin can also defeat the enemy with a small number!"
"I have a proposal here. Can you please listen to it?"
Yan Kai asked Nagi about cutting thistles.
A trace of suspicion flashed in Nakiri Ji's eyes. He didn't understand what Yan Kai, a cunning Central Plains man, was planning, but he still nodded and said, "Of course I won't stop you if you want to say it."
Whether you agree or not is another matter, of course.
"Now, there are three players on the 'Rebel' team who are tired..."
Yan Kai glanced at Nakiri Erina and Yukihira Soma. Although these two people were not so tired that they could not stand as well as Tadokoroe, their hair on their foreheads was wet. They were obviously in the "Shokuji" just now. It consumes a lot of energy.
In order to make "Yokoyama Xingyi" change his view of Totsuki, the two of them had just gone all out without any reservation, and they were indeed tired.
"What a shame! Why am I tired? It's totally fine to have another 'Shokuji' again right away!"
Nakiri Erina refused to admit that she was tired and glared at Yan Kai.
You are just a duck, even if your whole body is stewed, you still have a tough mouth!
Yan Kai was quite speechless.
"Ignore her, let's continue the topic just now!" Yan Kai turned to Nakiri Thistle and said, "How about this, everyone save some time, the competition this afternoon is canceled and all the players will be given sufficient rest time. The competition will start tomorrow morning. , win two out of three rounds, win or lose in one round!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Nakiri Thistle became a little interested.
"The 'Rebels' team selects two players from among the players who have not been eliminated to have a one-on-one decisive battle with the only two surviving players on your side, Si Yingshi and Kobayashi Ringdan."
Yan Kai said.
Nakiri Thistle interrupted Yan Kai and said: "Wait a minute, this will lose the meaning of 'United Shogun', and besides, this is only two rounds, you said three rounds before!"
"Listen to me." Yan Kai continued, "In the third game, I want to play something big."
"You say it, and I listen!"
Nakiri Thistle's eyes were sharp, and he had a hunch that Yan Kai's next words would seem to be interesting.
"The next round can almost be regarded as the finals, right? Then let's just play a resurrection match!"
Yan Kai smiled and said: "Didn't six players on your side get eliminated? Let them compete as a group, and the same goes for the 'Rebels' side. A total of eight players who survived and eliminated will form a team. Let these two How about fighting as a group and counting this as the third game? If you feel that the 'Rebels' side has too many people, you can also find two more people in your 'Food Center' to add them to form an eight-person versus eight-person team. Human team competition.”
Nakiri Ji thought for a moment, and felt that his side was not at a loss no matter how he calculated it. If Si Yingshi and Kobayashi Ryodan were to fight in the seventh battle according to the previous rules, this would be very detrimental to the "gourmet central organ". Yan Kai's proposal not only did not The downside was that it gave Nakiri Thistle hope of victory.
"Okay, but I won't add more people here. So what if there are six people fighting against eight of you? There is no need to add two more people!"
Nakiri Thistle nodded in agreement.
He said this not because he wanted to compete, but because he knew that if too many cooks cooked a dish together, their hands would be tied up. The "rebels" had eight people, eight heads, and sixteen hands to form a team. I can imagine the person on the other side looking in a hurry.
"No, I think it would be better if you add two more people. Or, I think even if you add two more people, it might not be enough, because the judges for the third round are not the three of us on the judges' table."
Yan Kai's words made Nakiri Thistle stunned.
Standing up from the judges' seat, Yan Kai looked at the Yuanyue students in the audience: "Don't you think our group of judges is unfair? Okay, then I'll let you be the judges for the third round!"
Yan Kai's sudden declaration made the Yuanyue students in the audience confused and couldn't help but whisper.
"Tomorrow's competition time will be changed to three hours, and the theme restrictions will be cancelled. What the players in the single battle need to do is to bring out their most proud dishes and show the highest level of their cooking skills to our panel of judges! And the contestants in the team battle will Guys, it doesn’t matter if you want to come up with one, several, dozens, or hundreds of styles of dishes, because everyone in this venue will be the judges of the third game, and everyone in the venue can You can choose any dish you like!”
"Didn't the 'Red and White Song Party' just pass a few days ago? You are all chefs, why not take advantage of the opportunity to have a 'Red and White Dinner Party'! The dishes on the 'Rebels' side use red bowls and plates,' the food center organ 'One party's dishes will be served in white bowls and plates, and the consumed bowls and plates will be counted to determine the winner!"
Yan Kai looked at Yuanyue students who were in a daze because of his words and said: "You didn't have a choice before. Now, I give you a chance to be the judge of your own life path and see what you want." the way!"
The venue became silent again, and it was still because of Yan Kai, but it was not because of Yan Kai's pressure, but because of Yan Kai's words.
Choose yourself? Are you going to choose the competition model that used to involve thousands of troops walking on a single-plank bridge? Or should we choose the cramming model where all students can graduate now but will be trained into a cooking robot without a self?
Can we choose by ourselves?
All the students in Yuanyue swallowed their saliva. They had never participated in such an important decision!
No, for Yuanyue's operations and decision-making, they have always been passive executors and obedients!
Can they really make their own choices?
After Totsuki's students were obviously deep in thought, Yan Kai looked at Nakiri Thistle and said, "Is this rule okay? It's just a rough direction. In terms of details, for example, the weight and calories of each dish should be calculated separately. This should be your Yuanyue's specialty, so I won't overdo it, but it should be generally fine, right? Do you agree?"
Nakiri Kiku glanced deeply at Yan Kai: "You are trying to tie yourself up!"
For those student party judges who had been trained by him to be obedient, Yan Kai didn't know how to write the word "lose" and wanted him to teach them? You're not welcome when I cut thistle!
"Whether it's a cocoon or not...who will know until the last minute!"
Yan Kai looked at Nakiri Thistle with a smile.
