Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 97 Preliminaries

Just when Kurokiba wanted to say something, Alice quietly walked behind him, pulled his headscarf down, and said, "Okay, Ryo, this time it is indeed A Xing who won, we I also delayed a lot of time, let the next group of players come up!"

After speaking, he dragged the dazed Hei Muchang down...

Alice didn't mean to leave, but stayed aside, seeming to be preparing to watch the next group of squinting teenagers' assessment.Bayi Middle School Wen Wang √√√

This made Liu Maoxing glanced at her suspiciously, and asked, "Is this guy special?"

"Did you see the pattern on his sleeves? That is the family crest of the Sugiyama family. Judging from his age, it must be a descendant of the Sugiyama family to be eligible to wear the family crest." Alice said.

"Ha? The Shanshan family? Family crest?" Liu Subaru was even more confused.

There are only two people surnamed Sugiyama that Liu Subaru can think of, one is a classmate of Cherry Maruko, and the other is a war criminal. If it is related to the latter, Liu Subaru will consider 1oo ways to slap her face.

Obviously, however, the Sugiyama family that Alice is talking about is neither the cherry maruko into the family, nor the war criminals in the family, but...

"It's Sugiyama Kazuichi's Sugiyama's "Needle Saint"!" Alice said.

Liu Subaru continued to be confused, not understanding what Alice was talking about.

After listening to the explanation behind Alice, Liu Subaru gradually understood who Sugiyama Kazuichi was...

Like the Chinese cuisine that has influenced the entire East Asia, Chinese medicine has a profound influence in East Asia, and when it comes to ancient Chinese medicine, it is natural to mention "acupuncture"!

15oo years ago, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Land of China gave a "Acupuncture Sutra" to the Eastern envoys.

During the millennia, acupuncture and moxibustion have fluctuated in the East, and it has been up and down. It was not until the Azuto-Momoyama era that a large number of medical books were passed on to the East during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

Later in the Edo period, during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, under the support of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Oriental acupuncture reached its peak. At this time, there was a well-known blind acupuncture master, Sugiyama Kazuichi...

"Huh? Then?" Liu Subaru still didn't hear it, and secretly said: What does this have to do with the seafood noodle contest?

Alice gave Liu Subaru a weird look, and then said: "I heard that the Sugiyama family has an extremely high acupuncture skill, that is, it can prick acupuncture points for the ingredients to achieve the purpose of stimulating the flavor of the ingredients. I don't know if this kid has mastered it. !"

Liu Subaru was completely speechless about this, and secretly asked if Sugiyama Kazuichi knew that his descendants would learn how to cook with great ideas, would they come alive...

wrong!Liu Subaru suddenly realized that this world is obviously different from the world he lived in before. Perhaps Lian Shanshan and Yi himself are both foodies. This method of acupuncture and moxibustion for ingredients might even be prescribed by him!

After all, more than a hundred years ago, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, those high-level masters in the dark cooking world who were able to melt copper and iron were all obsessed with cooking and couldn't help themselves?

Thinking of this, Liu Subaru also took a serious look...

"Are you Sugiyama Yoshi? Your salmon... was obtained at Sai's house?" When the three judges saw Sugiyama Yoshi's fresh preservation box, they frowned, obviously recognizing the source.

"Yes."

The three reviewers showed impatient expressions and shook their heads directly: "You can go out."

It seems that the so-called Sugiyama family is not well-known on the surface. Alice paid special attention after recognizing the other party's family crest, but the judges did not know it.

"En? Isn't this bad? You haven't reviewed it yet." Sugiyama Yoshiki smiled unchanged.

"You don’t need to review. Sai’s shop sells live fish. You signed up an hour ago, which means that the salmon you get has only been dead for less than an hour at most. It will definitely not be the best taste. During the period! Do you think that as long as the salmon is completely fresh, you can pass the assessment?" the judge said dissatisfied.

Although salmon is rarely sold live, the Sai family is one of the few live fish operators in the outside market.

Some onlookers who were originally dissatisfied with Sugiyama's previous behavior began to mock at the right time.

Before, because of Liu Subaru and Kurokiba, they thought that Sugiyama Yoshihide also had something special, so they didn't dare to speak out at first, but now they saw the judges say so, they immediately became unscrupulous...

"It's not an hour, it's forty minutes...but it's enough!" Sugiyama Yoshi said as he took out the salmon that had just died for 4o minutes, and placed it on the table in front of him.

Originally, the judge on the left wanted to scold him and let him leave directly, but was stopped by the judge in the middle with a solemn expression!

"Wait! Let's enter the review process!"

"En?" The other two judges looked a little confused.

At this time, they looked at the salmon in front of Sugiyama Yoshihide carefully, only to find that there were only seven or eight slender metal needles pierced by them. At this time, Sugiyama Yoshitoshi pulled out the metal needles and they found...

Because every time a metal needle is removed, the dead salmon will tremble slightly.

This is the nerve reflex of fish. Sometimes when dealing with fish that have died soon, the flesh of the fish will be slightly beating and squirming, but it is very rare that only a single needle can cause such an obvious reflex!

After Sugiyama Yoshi pulled out all the fine metal needles, he began to process the salmon step by step...

If he didn't hide his clumsiness, from the point of view of his sword skills, he would only be about the same as Alice!

The foundation is solid, but it's not that good!

It's just that Alice is good at "new cooking", but the other party has mastered a kind of "special skill" of acupuncture and moxibustion.

When Liu Subaru changed his mind, he understood. After all, the other party was about the same age as him, and it was impossible to have a system.

Obviously, he focuses on this kind of acupuncture and moxibustion skills. It is very rare to be able to reach the current level in cooking.

After all, even if you don't consider the acupuncture skills, this kind of culinary skill can be ranked above the average level in Yuanyue Academy.

And the three judges passed his review in shock after the tasting, which shocked the other players onlookers, but Sugiyama Yoshihide did not give any explanation.

After Sugiyama Yoshi, Alice did not look at other people's reviews, and left with Liu Subaru and Kurokichang.

This is the first time that Pleiades Liu has shown "stunning skills" in someone other than himself!

Although after guessing that this world might be on the same timeline as "Zhonghua Yifan", Liu Subaru had prepared this kind of psychological preparation, but after seeing it, he was already full of doubts.

For example, why is there no "stunt" teaching in Yuanyue Academy?Liu Subaru felt that this should not be just a reason for self-preservation of the broom and opinions of the door.

Pleiades Liu also asked Alice on the side, and Alice’s explanation was: "You ask why Yuanyue didn’t teach something similar? Please, acupuncture itself is enough to study for a lifetime, and it’s good for ordinary students to learn how to cook!

And... Grandfather also said that instead of wasting time on these things, it is better to upgrade the cooking to the level of'master chef' first. Compared with the real cooking, these are nothing more than strange skills."

Liu Subaru does not fully understand the idea of ​​Nageri Senzaemon, but it is not a special skill to think of the "Liu Subaru" in "Chunghwa Ichiban". Maybe Senzaemon is also the same idea!

Moreover, Totsuki Academy is able to develop its current position in the cooking world, and Senzaemon's philosophy should be right.

"By the way, since the Sugiyama family has a family crest, you should have it in the Nagiri family too? Didn't you see any special patterns on you and Erina..." Liu Subaru asked in doubt.

"We don't have a family crest, the Nagiri family... Anyway, it's different from them!" Alice didn't want to explain more.

Liu Subaru did not talk more, but asked about the game.

Alice looked at the schedule given when she signed up and said: "The competition is divided into two parts, the preliminaries and the finals, just like every year. Unlike the halberd system, the preliminaries and finals are based on a scoring system.

The preliminaries are divided into five groups. The two groups with the highest scores in each group qualify. After the ten groups enter the finals at the same time, the highest score is the champion, and the other two to ten are also rewarded, but our goal is only one, and that is the champion!"

"The title is'Seafood Pasta'?" Liu Subaru asked.

"No, the title of the final is fixed as'seafood noodle dishes', but the title of the preliminaries will not be given until tomorrow, and then the game will be played the day after tomorrow...According to past experience, it will definitely be related to seafood! "

After completing the registration and registration assessment in the morning, Alice immediately took Liu Subaru and Kurokichang back to the hotel, and urged them to rest quickly!

Seeing her in a hurry, Liu Subaru couldn't help but ridicule: "Hey, I can't accept three people together, otherwise you go out and stroll in Heimuchang?"

Alice blushed and roared at Liu Subaru: "What are three people, two people! Now go back to the room and rest by herself, and the'tactical discussion' will start after midnight!"

The questions for the preliminaries will be sent to Alice’s own mobile phone that Alice filled out during registration when it just arrives "tomorrow", that is to say, the questions will be known at zero.

If you have a good rest in the afternoon, you can conduct research and discussion immediately after the topic is revealed. It can also be seen that Alice really values ​​the appearance of this competition...

Sure enough, after one o'clock, Liu Subaru was woken up by Alice smashing the door.

Pleiades Liu and Kurokichang are both sitting side by side on the sand with sleeping faces, while Alice said enthusiastically: "The preliminaries have already come out. This time, the topic is quite special. It is not limited to ingredients or limited cooking The type, as long as the seafood provided during the competition is used as ingredients, any cooking is fine, but the time limit is very tight, only 20 minutes..." (To be continued.)
