The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd
Chapter 94 Hokkaido
On the afternoon of the first day of Golden Week, Pleiades Liu, Alice and Kurokiba, boarded the plane to Hokkaido.
Although as a partner to participate in the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest" later, Pleiades Liu thinks it is necessary to communicate with Kurokiba Ryo in advance, but this guy is sitting next to Pleiades Liu, but he has always been awake...
"Kurokichang, your hometown is also in Denmark? I heard that the temperature there is very comfortable, it won't be very cold in winter, and it's very cool in summer..."
Liu Subaru was talking while looking at Hei Muchang, and it was not until five seconds later that he turned his head and gave an "en".
Then he turned back and sat there motionless!
Liu Subaru could not help but give up the communication temporarily.
Looking at the turban on Hei Muchang's wrist, Liu Subaru thought about it carefully, but gave up on helping him wear the turban.
Although he will not be as dull as he is now after taking it, the degree of difficulty in communicating will not change. Maybe he will be treated as a hijacked terrorist...
As for the other fellow rider Alice, she was very talkative, and she took the initiative to chat with Liu Subaru.
However, Liu Subaru's behavior is the same as Hei Muchang's attitude towards him, and he is not willing to pay attention to her.
It’s not that Pleiades Liu is arguing. Alice added conditions midway. It’s that Alice is gossiping about him and Erina from start to finish. She also sneered at Pleiades’s theory of “ordinary friends” and insisted on Pleiades to admit him. Looks like an adulterous relationship with Erina...
Fortunately, this journey did not last long, and the plane landed less than two hours later.
Alice had booked the hotel a long time ago. It was a three-bedroom suite that looked very high-end, and she directly took Liu Subaru and Kurokichang into the room.
"It's not too early, so let's take a break first! We will go to register at eight tomorrow morning!" Alice decided directly.
Liu Subaru and Hei Muchang have no objection.
Early the next morning, the three people, led by Alice, came to the registration site for the competition.
Because it is summer, in addition to serving as the registration site for the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest", the square in front of the registration office also takes the opportunity to serve as a large aquatic product trading center. Numerous aquatic products are traded here, a rich aquatic product. The smell is coming...
Pleiades Liu also knew the origins of the competition at this time. If it was just an ordinary dessert roll as the championship prize, then the competition is probably at the "street community" level, so Pleiades Liu was still a little confused after hearing the prizes at first.
Later, I immediately remembered that Takayamazaki had told him about this game before, and this brought my spirits up!
As a graduate of Totsuki Academy, Takayamazaki has graduated five or six years at the age of 24. Even if he has not reached the "tiger level", he must not be underestimated, but he only won sixth at that time. Achievement, got a bonus of 1 million yen!
In other words, this competition, which only allows new chefs under the age of 25 to participate, has a very high gold content, and the value of the dessert roll is far greater than 1 million yen.
Now Pleiades Liu also knows the reason. The reason why this "Hokkaido luxury dessert buffet" does not indicate the name of the store is because it is not a voucher for a certain dessert shop at all, but in the early autumn, which is equivalent to the end of the summer vacation. , The Hokkaido dessert event held!
During the three days of the event, Hokkaido officials promised that the dessert chefs who make desserts at the buffet every day will include at least 30 of the top 50 dessert chefs in Hokkaido.
It's just like the small banquet that Liu Subaru and the others enjoyed at the end of their "accommodation training"...
At other times, it is not difficult for Alice to taste the work of a dessert chef of this level separately, but to get them together, there is only one opportunity a year!
And it is not possible to participate if you have money. In addition to being a prize for various cooking competitions, only people who have made outstanding contributions to Hokkaido, as well as some Hokkaido dignitaries, will be invited...
Although Alice is not short of money, it is impossible to get an invitation. Even her father is not eligible, unless his father is willing to move the research institute to Hokkaido.
Therefore, the eight cooking contests held in Hokkaido every year are the only opportunities!
Four of them are cooking competitions of any age. Alice also knows that these are impossible for the time being. The other four are cutting-edge competitions that can only be participated in under the age of 25.
Originally, Alice was planning to form a team with Kurokiba to participate in the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest", but after discovering Liu Subaru’s pastry skills, she changed her mind...
"Uncle! Is the registration here?" Alice asked the passing staff.
The middle-aged staff member glanced at the three of them in confusion, then pointed in a direction across the square and said, "The registration office is inside, come on!"
It seems that Liu Subaru's three people are too young, and they are not very optimistic about them.
Seeing the grand occasion of the registration site, Liu Subaru could not help but secretly said: It is indeed a world of foodies!
Not only did the award for the first ten years amount to 1 million yen, but it also attracted the most attention and was always the "dessert roll" rewarded by the first champion.
Even the annual dessert event is one of the most important events of Hokkaido, and it has played a positive and important role in the development of Hokkaido...
After all, in the world of foodies, Hokkaido is the most concerned about seafood and desserts!
After understanding this, Liu Subaru was also interested in the low-sounding dessert vouchers. Although it was only a dessert, for Liu Subaru, as long as it is a sufficient level of cuisine, it is within the scope of "absorb nourishment"!
"Are they both only fifteen years old? The first time I signed up?" The registration staff frowned and looked at Liu Subaru and Kurokichang Liang, probably because they thought they were too tender.
"Yes!" Alice who signed up smiled.
"And there is no pastry chef grade or something?" The young staff in charge of registration looked at the application list that Alice had filled out before, and was a little impatient.
At this time, Alice explained: "It's true that we don't. We are all students of Yuanyue Academy. We usually go to various levels of certification after graduation."
"Are you a student from Yuanyue Academy? So you are taking advantage of Golden Week to exercise? Okay, this is the'credit coin' for registration and assessment..."
Alice Suspiciously received a button-sized coin engraved with the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest" logo from the registration officer.
The registration staff explained: "Because there are too many people who sign up each year, there will be a'registration assessment' before the preliminaries, so that some inexperienced guys will join in the fun! This year's registration assessment is the selection of seafood. Use this to go to an outside trading center and you can exchange a salmon from any merchant.
After that, send the salmon you selected to the assessment point where you left to turn left and make it directly into sashimi. There will be reviewers responsible for judging whether it passes... For the students of Yuanyue Academy, the standard should not be high."
After Liu Subaru heard his explanation, he remembered the scene in the original plot where Ryo Kurokiba and Sakuhei Koppa, who had good eyesight in the fish market competition!
At that time, the competition method seemed to directly cut the "saury" selected by each into sashimi, and the taste and umami of the sashimi were used as the basis for winning...
Thinking about it now, it is very likely that this is the way Alice has learned from this competition.
After all, even without Pleiades Liu, Alice is planning to team up with Kurokiba to participate.
Stepping out of the indoor registration point and returning to the outside trading center, Alice couldn't help but sigh, "What a hot competition! Actually, even registration has to be checked first... But fortunately, for Ryo, the assessment is too simple. Up."
"Cool, you should be more serious and choose the best salmon...Wait, how about you, A Xing, take charge of this assessment?" Alice asked suddenly.
Liu Subaru estimated that she couldn't stand it too, because of the character of the "other" Kurokiba, and the excessive desire to fight.
However, after looking at the lively aquatic product trading center and countless aquatic product stalls, Liu Maoxing grinned for a while, and finally said: "Let’s hand it to Kurokichang! And I’ve just heard you say it before, about Kurokichang’s second Personality, since it’s him who is going to partner with me, I should see you first, right?"
If Liu Subaru uses the power of the super god tongue to capture and perceive the scent particles in the air with all his strength, he can also select the freshest salmon in the entire trading center like Ye Shanliang, who has the "scent of god".
However, Pleiades Liu flinched, because the smell of the sea pervading the trading center here is a bit pungent even if it is smelled with ordinary sense of smell. If you use the "super god tongue" to perceive it, Pleiades Liu feels the feeling of the time. It must be very sour and refreshing, as if there were thousands of live fish in the mouth!
"Okay...then cool, be serious." Alice accepted Liu Subaru's words.
"Seriously? That means to..." And dumbfounded, when Alice asked him to be more serious, he took off the turban on his wrist!
At the moment when he tied the headscarf to his hair, Kurokiba's eyes widened, and a fierce breath came out of his eyes, not so much a cook, as a beast!
This time I don’t need Liu Subaru to speak first. The second personality appeared, Kurokima Ryo, looked at him with a look of ingredients, and then said contemptuously: "It’s your kid who wants to partner with me? I don’t want to be a hindrance guy, you Is it okay? If it doesn’t work, quit by yourself! If it works... I’ll test you, and I will choose salmon with me. If you choose..."
"No." Liu Subaru replied cleanly.
"Huh? What did you say?" Kurokiba said in an unhappy tone.
"I said'Don't' to compete with you. If you are so unhappy, just tell your lady to retire!" Liu Subaru said.
Sure enough, even if Kurokiba enters the frenzied second personality, he still respects Alice because of his promise after losing to Alice and his gratitude to Alice. He stared at the prey and looked at Liu Subaru star. After a while, I went to pick salmon.
"It seems that the'first time' meeting with your partner was the worst result..." Liu Subaru said with his forehead.
The game was hard enough, and it turned out to have a reliable partner, but still can’t get along with each other in terms of character!
