Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 114 The King

"Since you are not going to go first, then I will come first!"

Ye Shan said that he placed five soup cups with a layer of meringue in front of the five judges. The soup cups looked very small, and the "puff pastry" on the outside looked like small cakes.

"Huh? Originally, you used sea bream head, but thought it was a very rough style of cuisine, so... so small?" Gangsaka said in surprise.

As a seed player, Yeshan's ingredients have also attracted everyone's attention. The main ingredient is the fish head of a sea bream. Obviously, it is necessary to boil the curry fish head soup.

"Is it meringue soup? And this layer of meringue...seems to be grilled naan?" Xiangtian gently tapped the grilled naan covered in the front with the back of the spoon.

The meringue soup, created by the famous French chef Paul Bocuse in modern times, is characterized by using a cake-like pastry similar to a lasagna. The bowl is sealed and then baked into a fluffy meringue, which can enhance the aroma of the cooking. Concentrated inside!

"Yes, it is the meringue soup made of naan. Please use a spoon to press the top meringue into the soup below to eat!" Ye Shanliang said, and brought it to Liu Maoxing and Chuang Zhen. I made a bowl.

"Huh? We only have one bowl... or such a small bowl..."

Regarding Liu Subaru's complaint, Ye Shan said he would ignore it!

The most common way to eat meringue soup is to first use a knife and fork along the edge of the soup bowl to remove the entire pastry and divide it into pieces before deciding whether to eat it with the soup or soak it whole. In the soup, or eating while drinking the soup...

But since Ye Shanliang has already said it, naturally, including Liu Subaru and the five judges, all chose to follow suit.

Just as Liu Subaru crushed the puff pastry with a spoon, a real scent explosion came!

This is especially true in the judges' bench, which is obviously far away, but this time even the audience can smell it clearly.

Although the previous players who scored high, apart from Yu Mei's choice of restrained scent, the off-site audience also smelled the dishes of other people, especially the explosive fragrance of Misaku Subaru, even the last row of audiences Smell it.

But those are not clear, just like a patient with high myopia, looking at someone tens of meters away, you can see that it is a "person", but no one can recognize it.

However, the aroma of Ye Shanliang’s cooking shockedly and accurately transmitted the spicy aroma to the nose of every audience.Through the sense of smell, the appetites of all audiences were stimulated.

The most rare thing is that Liu Subaru, Chuang Zhen, and the five judges smelled this amazing spicy fragrance nearby, but they felt mellow at the same time as stimulating, without being choked...

This is exactly how Ye Shanliang's mastery of spices has already appeared!

After being crushed, the roasted naan is immersed in a curry that incorporates the delicacy of the fish head. The dish that Ye Shanliang prepared at the beginning is "Curry Fish Head Soup", but as it is boiled, it is baked at the end. , It is already gelatinized with the protein of the fish head, and contains the fluid between the soup and the sauce that has been softened with the fish bones.

A spoonful of naan, which will be pressed into the curry, is put in the mouth together with the curry... The appetite that was aroused by the "True Taste Bomb" was immediately satisfied!

"Grilled naan and curry paste soup together taste... unspeakably wonderful!"

"While the types of spices are varied and deep, they are all integrated and promote each other, rather than offset each other..."

"And the taste of this soft fish bone, which is impeccable besides the spices!"

Qianhai Xiaya suddenly stared, as if she had discovered something unbelievable, and started to shoot: "Wait, the core of this fragrance is...Holy Basil!"

After being reminded, Xiangtian immediately understood: "Holy basil, known as the god grass in India, is the medicine used in various diseases in ancient Indian medicine Arunveda..."

"Yes, it is this kind of taste! I once visited the flower garden of holy basil in India... It is this kind of sweet feeling that will flow through the body after smelling it!" Gangsaka also followed.

"However, holy basil is in an island country, so there should be very few fresh purchase channels, and it can't grow, right?" As a curry product giant, Chiba Natsuya knows a lot about various spices.

"No, Professor Shiomi's Spice Research Association has developed a cultivation method that can be used throughout the year... But the method is a trade secret!" Ye Shanliang said.

Everyone just remembered. Behind Ye Shanliang, there is another Shiomi Junzai who can be called an authority in spice theory!

"Holy basil? What? Is it similar to basil?" Yu Mei asked in a low voice.

Liu Subaru replied: "Basil is actually divided into many kinds. In Italian cuisine, basil refers to sweet basil, which is also what we usually call'basil.' In western cuisine, there is also a lemon basil. The application is also very wide...

As for holy basil, it is a kind of sweetness originating in India that is far superior to the former, and it is called the spice of the god grass!However, the difficulty of use is not generally high. It is usually only used for medicinal or ornamental purposes, and at most used for seasoning cold dishes, not for cooking."

"Huh? That Yeshan..."

"Well, Ye Shan has harnessed the power of holy basil that can be used as a sharp knife in cooking, and the mystery should be...yogurt!" Liu Subaru said with a smile looking at Ye Shan.

Ye Shan couldn’t help but said in a deep voice, “Did you taste it? Yes, the yogurt gives the holy basil an overly strong aroma and will not spoil the taste of other spices. From a nutritional point of view, yogurt can promote the human body’s resistance to the curcumin in the spice. Absorption, this is a good thing with liver clearing and detoxification...

But when you went to the Spice Research Institute to fetch spices, you also took some fresh'holy basil', right?I am curious, how do you use it?"

"Axing, do you use holy basil?" Zenji, who also knows how difficult it is to use this thing in cooking, asked in shock.

"You'll know later, maybe I only got it because I was curious?" Liu Subaru sold it.

And at this time the judges' scoring has begun!

Looking around, I saw two zero eggs suddenly appear...Of course, there is still a "2" ahead!The other three are 18 points.

"Full score appeared! In the autumn trials, a rare full score appeared! And two judges gave full marks!" Even Yuai was a little excited.

"In this way, Ye Shanliang won the highest score of 94 points so far, ranking first!" With Yu Ai's speech, only 88 points were kicked out of the top four!

Second place is Kurokiba Ryo with 93 points, and third place is Yu Mei and Misaku Subaru tied for 92 points.

"This time it's a bit too scary, isn't it? I used to have some sessions, but I can even get the first place in seven or 80 points." Obviously, it is not the first time that Kosaka has been a judge in the autumn trials.

"But to be honest, my rating this time is even more demanding than previous ones! The same is true for Miss Chinbo?" Koda said helplessly, it was he and Chinbo who gave 20 points before.

"Huh, there are some students who can see it..." Qian Hao Xia Ya was a little bit dumb, but she didn't hesitate to give Ye Shanliang full marks before.

At this time, most of the review of Group B was over. Many people, including Dago, Shoji, Yuu Ji and other Ji Xing Liao students, came to pay attention to the competition of Group A.

When they first saw the numbers on the scoring device, they even wondered if the judges of Group A were a little bit "spoiled"!

You must know that compared with previous years, Group B has many high scores this year, but Takumi, who was shortlisted as the fourth place, has "only" 90 points...

And now in Group A, Chuang Zhen and Liu Subaru have not yet appeared on the stage, they have already raised the final score to 92 points!

You must know that after 80 points, especially 85 and 90 points, it is difficult to get a higher point!

Although the judges are fair, after all, "delicious" is subjective. Therefore, according to people's psychological consciousness, the "scoring system" is used when the score is low, and the "point deduction system" is used when the score is high...

How difficult is it to make these judges only deduct two or three points?

From the scores of Ye Shanliang, we can also see that there are three 18 points at the same time as two full marks. It seems that they are not exactly as the judges want. 18 points are also very high scores... but three 18 points are down. , Which is 6 points deducted!

In fact, it’s not too much. The other three judges’ considerations were because they felt that Ye Shanliang’s fish head, which is theoretically the main ingredient of this dish, was not perfect, at least not as perfect as his use of spices, so Only 18 points are given.

And Chiba and Koda simply believe that the taste of this dish has reached the level of "full satisfaction" for them. As for fish head, since this dish is already in the category of curry cuisine, they also Only follow the degree of deliciousness, and do not make other considerations...

The most important thing is that at this time other students have not realized that if you look at the overall scores of the students behind group a, you can see that the scores are actually more stringent than those of group b!

"Ah... Ye Shan, this guy has actually performed to this level, which makes me really nervous! In order to avoid A Xing's cooking for a while and make me more nervous, I'll submit it first!"

Chuang Zhen said that he was "a little nervous", but he couldn't tell from his tone and eyes. Instead, he gave people a firm feeling.

Ye Shanliang couldn't help but look sideways. Chuangzhen and Liu Subaru also tasted his cooking. Even so, Chuangzhen still had the confidence to fight, which made Ye Shanliang couldn't help but take his heart...

I saw that Chuangzhen opened the cover of the plate for one of the six dishes before submitting it, and saw that it was actually a half-moon-shaped omelette with something obviously wrapped in it!

But Ye Shanliang and others, who noticed that Xingping Chuang was really cooking condiment rice before, have guessed that this should be a combination of omelet and condiment rice...

"The spice bomb... the third one, here comes!" Chuang Zhen said, waving his spoon, and opened a hole in the omelet.

I saw rice grains with a beautiful sauce gloss, and it was accompanied by an aroma that was not inferior to Hayama Ryo's dishes.

Although Chuangzhen said it was the "third shot", he also included the Meizuo Subaru's cuisine that was also presented in an explosive manner, but in fact the last two shots are much stronger than the Mizuo Subaru's aroma!

The interest of the five judges was also completely mobilized. After Liu Subaru Xing brought up the other five unopened "Omum Omum Rice", he cut through the Omum in front of him one by one, indulging in what was revealed inside. At the same time as the curry seasoned rice, he involuntarily gave it to his mouth with a spoon!

"What a strong taste! As if the taste buds were hit by a straight punch!"

"The thick soup of chicken bones and beef tendon, as well as the delicacy of ground beef and onion fried in butter, all infiltrated the rice!"

"The broth of the sauce is integrated with the fried eggs, without any sense of separation..."

"Moreover, the garland-like sauce on the outside of the omelet also plays a role of reconciliation! It should be made with oil as the base, and then seasoned with honey to make the taste better, rich and mild... 'There are similarities in the same way!"

"Compared with the previous dish, it seems to be less explosive, but its continuity is better..."

The judges praised Chuangzhen, not inferior to the previous Yeshan, and at the same time there seemed to be some unsure "wonders", so they kept tasting.

And Liu Subaru, who also tasted the same, already smiled slightly: "Mango chutney, and it's the kind specially made by Xingping Ding's restaurant... Yes, I can actually sublimate the whole dish with just this!"

Pleiades Liu immediately tasted this hidden but extremely important taste. After all, he had tasted the full set of recipes from Xingping Dingding Restaurant!

At this time, the judges have already scored 19, 18, 20, 19, 18...

"Here! There is a full score again! Total... 94 points in total. Although there is only one full score, the other players with average scores, Liu Subaru, are tied for first place with Ye Shanliang!"

To a certain extent, this also reflects the creative cuisine, which is different from the characteristics of Ye Shanliang. Although it does not have the impact, it is more acceptable to most people...

And different from the original plot, even Xia Ya gave full marks this time!

If the previous cooking was the "crowd", now it is finally appearing... Chuangzhen and Yeshan's cooking is like the "king" of the dominating party!

The arena was completely quiet. After all, everyone now knows that these two players who played behind will definitely experience hell mode. The last remaining single-digit players all secretly glanced at Liu Subaru...

At this time, Liu Subaru moved his arms, and then he put five of the six wooden boxes of tofu pressed on a large tray to support it!

"It's time for me to play, right? Let me add another fire!" Liu Subaru said confidently.

Others were stunned, thinking in their hearts: What is he going to do?Why did you serve the tofu that was pressed and not opened?(To be continued.)
