The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

On the first day of the race, Kohei Sakuma faced Alice Nakiri in the morning, and Tansuo Hui played Ryo Kurokiba in the afternoon.

Just as the coach said before the autumn trials, the race will be held "between the moon and the sky", and in the first round of the preliminaries of the judges, the coach Nakiri Senzaemon is also in the middle.

The other four judges are also representatives of college veterans or partners. In addition to ordinary students and lecturers, there are also invited important partners from Yuanyue, and culinary leaders...

The autumn trials are not only a grand event for the college, but also an opportunity to show their strength to partners and competitors!

It can be said that the performance of the contestants not only represents themselves, but also affects the confidence of Yuanyue's partners in Yuanyue, and the positioning of Yuanyue in the cooking industry.

"The first round of the autumn trials, the first round, start! The first thing that comes on the stage is the third place in the A area and the finalist Koping Sakuma!"

Following the words of the master of ceremonies, Kawashima Rei, Chuang Zhen took his kitchen cabinet and walked onto the field...

"Chuangzhen! Come on!"

"You must be promoted!"

In the area of ​​Pole Star Liao, apart from Tian Suohui who was preparing in the player lounge, there was also Isshiki Hui as a member of the competition committee, and everyone else including Liu Subaru who did not have the game today.

Wen Xu also specially customized a flamboyant cheering banner, pulled by Dago and Shoji, looking like an ace cheerleader.

"Then, the player who was playing against him was...the Alice Nageri who advanced to the overwhelming number one in Zone B!"

At the entrance on the other side, Alice in a pure white chef uniform came up.

Of course, her cooking tools are already on the court, otherwise it would be difficult for her to push so many large-scale equipment on her own!

It can be seen from the cheers that Alice’s popularity is obviously higher than that of Chuang Zhen...

Not only is Alice's performance in the qualifiers better than Chuang Zhen, but Alice's life experience is also a plus.

The granddaughter of "Devil of Eater" Nakiri Senzaemon, the cousin of God Tongue Nakiri Erina, and she is commensurate with her status. Alice has also participated in countless international cooking competitions since she was a child, and has won many Awards, especially in the field of new cuisine, have truly been at the forefront of the college.

Even in the ageless international competitions of molecular gastronomy, he has won the championship, eclipsing countless adult molecular gastronomy researchers, and is called "the proud girl of molecular gastronomy"!

Although when she was a child, Alice, who was also the blood relative of Erina, was completely obscured by Erina. When it comes to the new generation of the Nagiri family, people first think of only Erina, the tongue of God.

But this also prompted Alice to embark on a path different from Erina and most cooks, turning the emerging molecular gastronomy into the sharpest sword in her hand...

Accompanied by the sound of the horn, Kawashima Rei declared once again: "The title of the competition is'Bento', the competition time is two hours, and the cooking begins!"

Both parties started cooking intensively. Although the creative cooking process is not as gorgeous as Liu Subaru, it can also be seen that the ten-year-old proficiency of cooking before school age, knife skills, heat, and quantity of ingredients The grasp of the swiftness, exuding a comfortable sense of harmony.

At the same time, the behavior of Alice Nakiri on the other side is incomprehensible.

In addition to simple sea bream slicing, fresh beef slicing, and rice cooking, the other is the operation of various modern large-scale equipment...

However, from several basic slices, it can be seen that her knife skills are very solid, and she does not reject all traditional cooking skills as she says.

Unlike many other researchers who can even cut vegetables to their fingers after leaving modern equipment, Alice is better at absorbing the strengths of traditional cuisine to better utilize the advantages of molecular gastronomy.

"Senji, please explain, what is she doing?" Yuu Ji couldn't understand and was anxious in the audience.

Most of the audience are just like her...

Not to mention Yuanyue's students, even those invited chefs, most of them have not been exposed to new cooking, and can only guess based on experience.

Shaner pushed his glasses awkwardly: "This...obviously is beyond my understanding!"

"Huh? Are you a'Doctor of the Taste World' like this"!" Yuuhime complained about Marui Zenji's nickname after the fall trials.

At this time, Pleiades Liu said, "The one on the right that put the test tube in is the centrifuge. The red liquid in the test tube is tomato juice. It should be used to separate the clear tomato juice.

There is also a siphon squeezer that needs to be filled with the'bullet' first, and the filled'bullet' is a'compressed gas bomb', which can highly fuse gas and liquid to form an extremely evacuated foaming mousse.

The kind that extends a glass dropper arm is a liquid concentrating gelatinizer, which can further compress the soup into an edible gel.

There is also something that looks like a large petri dish, which is used to make cooked rice into vinegar rice..."

Pleiades Liu has spent a month in the Nordic Institute, and naturally he knows all these devices.

"It looks complicated, but since there is equipment for making vinegared rice, and the sea bream and beef are also cut, it should be sushi?" Yuuhime wondered.

"Huh? I don't know if it will be box sushi or nigiri sushi?" Dago wondered.

Shoji presumably said, "Should it be box pressure sushi? Alice's main focus is on molecular cuisine. Nigiri sushi is not something that can be proficient in'part-time', let alone a girl, rather than..."

"No, I can’t say which kind of sushi is. Can you see the device on the far left? That can be easily manipulated by a joystick. The mini robot inside can simulate the most suitable human body temperature for holding sushi, and the outer bread is similar. The skin is bionic, and dozens of force models collected from sushi masters are recorded. As long as they learn to judge the most suitable way of making sushi, anyone can'hold' superior sushi." Liu Subaru interrupted.

"What? How, how can this be? I definitely don't admit this kind of sushi!" Zhaoji protested weakly.

However, Shoji's protest obviously had no effect, and Alice finally finished cooking first.

In front of each judge is a transparent dinner plate cover full of misty white "fog"...

On the right hand side of the judge Nakasenzaemon, a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked like an idiot couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a gorgeous dish that arouses people's interest! It goes well with this food festival!"

"The appearance is indeed attractive to diners, let's have a taste." said the short and thin old man on the left hand side of Senzaemon, and he could not wait to open the cover of the plate, and then his skin clearly felt the white mist ice cold. It feels like it is a cooling liquid nitrogen spray!

"Machang Love, you are still so impatient! The commander has not moved yet, really, nothing has changed at such an age!" said the fat old man on the left of Machang Love.

"Anxi, someone who can restrain the curiosity of food is not worthy of being a gourmet!" Machang Luofu pouted.

The commander-in-chief said: "Well, in front of the food, don't worry about the politeness!"

The five judges all opened the transparent plate cover in front of them. After the mist dissipated, they appeared in a wooden lunch box with three rows and four verticals and twelve grids. Each grid was placed with a piece of exquisite hand-held sushi. ...

"It turns out that the white mist is liquid nitrogen used for refrigeration? Does it keep the sushi fresh?" said the middle-aged bald judge on the far right.

At this time, besides the commander-in-chief Senzaemon, the two old men on his left are both academy elders who also have a certain influence in the culinary world. The thin and small one is Baba Love, who looks fat and kind. The old man is Anzai Koyoshi, and the two middle-aged people on the right are representatives of the partners. The one wearing glasses is Ryuji Hirasaka, and the bald head is Saitama.

"If you can, please start from the upper left corner and try my sushi one by one!" Alice suggested.

Alice’s cooking seems to be just sushi, but in fact it uses molecular cooking methods to extract useful parts of vegetables, fruits, and even seafood and meat, so you can’t just judge from the appearance what ingredients it contains!

For example, the four pieces in the first row symbolize "seafood". In addition to the fish eggs and kelp mousse that can be seen, there are also various ingredient extracts that can react with them and added to the vinegar rice. It is four pieces of sushi, which gives people the feeling of having a rich western seafood appetizer...

After that, the four pieces of sushi in the second row represent vegetable dishes. Various thinly sliced ​​vegetables are used to wrap the vinegar rice with the extract.

The first three pieces in the last column are beef sushi made with the latest low-temperature aged beef.

These respectively symbolize seafood dishes, vegetable dishes, and meat dishes. In addition, various intermolecular reactions that can stimulate the sense of taste are also taken into consideration. Eat them in order to maximize the deliciousness!

As for the final piece, the sea bream sushi with concentrated broth colloid. After the entrance, the power of the concentrated broth is released, and it instantly feels full like the entrance of real soup!

Yes, it is a piece of sushi that shows the common Japanese staple food of sea bream rice, to finish my answer sheet...

Just after the five judges chewed the last piece of sushi, the other four judges all showed happy smiles. Not to mention, Senzaemon released his outer robe in an instant, revealing a solid body. It's not like the muscles of old people!

Whether it’s other students as the audience, partners, college elders, or even other culinary professionals, they are not surprised at this, or they are surprised that the commander is actually "dressed for Alice’s sushi." "Crack", not "clothes ripped" itself!

"Here! The commander's clothes are ripped apart!"

"Yes, it's a ripped clothes? You can do it in your first year..."

"Isn't it said that the commander's'clothes are ripped', at least it will only appear when you taste the'quasi-ten outstanding' dishes?"

"Damn it! Is this monster really the same age as me? I..."

That's right, "Clearing clothes" is the "skill" of Nagiri Senzaemon, a kind of instinctive physical reaction when tasting enough delicious dishes...that is, the outer robe is faded in an instant!

This has already demonstrated Alice's strength. After Senzaemon's approval, many people were envious and jealous, but many people were also frustrated with confidence.

However, Chuangzhen, who is worrying everyone in Jixingliao, was not affected, and continued to cook...

Fortunately, Xingping’s concentration in creating real cooking has reached a level sufficient to condense the “prototype of the heart of cooking”, but some opportunities are still lacking. As for the heart of true cooking, it is far from it.

Soon after, Chuangzhen also presented his own dishes. Unlike Alice's transparent plate cover with white mist, Chuangzhen prepared five new stainless steel layered insulated lunch boxes!

Judging from the container for the food, Chuang Zhen is obviously more descriptive than Alice.

"Oh? Is it completely simulated except for the purpose of lunch?" Machang Love said with interest.

"Yukihei Souma, what is your cooking?" Senzaemon asked.

"It's a seaweed bento!" Chuang Zhen said of course.

"Sea and nori bento?" Saitama frowned and said.

The usual seaweed bento refers to the most basic kind of bento with a few slices of seaweed on the rice and a few side dishes!

"Of course, it's not an ordinary seaweed bento, everyone will know if you taste it!"

On the top layer of the tiered lunch box, there is a "side dish" as a side dish. There are three kinds of side dishes: fried bamboo wheel with seaweed, fried cod and Jinping burdock.

The "bamboo wheel" of the fried bamboo wheel has nothing to do with bamboo, but the fish meat, flour, egg yolk, and various spices are made into a muddy shape, and the stick is used to pass through the baked product, because after removing it from the bamboo stick, It is in the shape of a hollow cylinder and looks like bamboo, so it is called "bamboo wheel".

This seaweed fried bamboo wheel was previously tasted by Pleiades Liu at Xingping Dingding Restaurant. A few days ago, Chuangzhen also made various improvements. Starting from the fish meat, he used the exclusive formula for refined bamboo wheels, and matched Chuangzhen’s frying heat. Although it’s just a simple cooking, it’s really tempting.

Chuangzhen "fried cod" is also specially processed. The cod is first boiled in seafood broth and then fried. It has a unique soft waxy texture and unique umami flavor!

Although there is no researcher who is not a new culinary science and does not know the name of the specific molecule that reacts, but the experienced creative, also understands how to use "food ingredients" to stimulate the deliciousness of cooking!

As for "Jinping Burdock", it is a dish made by soaking burdock in vinegar and then fried. The reason why it is called "Jinping" is to imply that after eating it, it will be the same as the legendary strongman "Sakata Jinping". strong……

Speaking of the legendary character "Sakata Kinpei", Liu Subaru is more familiar with his father "Sakata Kintoki", which is the legendary prototype of Sakata Gintoki...

Although the three side dishes look simple, they reflect Chuangzhen’s refinement of simple dishes. According to the results of Liu Subaru’s previous tastes, they are already at a level between one and two extra stars!

Of course, for the sake of fairness, Liu Subaru did not give any suggestions for improvement before the game.

Since it is called "Seaweed Bento", Chuangzhen will naturally not be a title party. The real highlight is on the second layer, which is the rice covered with concentrated seaweed particles!

It is a method similar to Alice's molecular cuisine, but Chuang Zhen did not use those large-scale equipment, but used the most earthy method to manually squeeze the seaweed extract, and then processed it into colloidal particles in a "puzzling and rough snack" method. ...

This is also what Liu Maoxing has tasted before. It is difficult to achieve high-grade four or five stars with just this kind of seaweed bibimbap, but the most important function is that it can integrate the three previous side dishes into one. This is also the rice in the bowl. The role it should play!

As for the trump card of Chuangzhen, it is the thickening juice in the bottom layer. The tongue has experienced the proper stimulation of three kinds of side dishes, and then the bibimbap made with the thickening juice of the same origin is used for baptism. It can reach the super three stars. The level of sophistication, that is, the level that can be compared with the next few seats...

"If Alice's sushi bento is a'jewelry box' full of precious treasures, then Koping Chuang's real seaweed bento is a treasure box full of fun to discover!"

"Yes, it reminds me of the feeling of opening my mother's lunchbox when I was hiking when I was young..."

"It seems that there is something missing in Alice's bento..."

Even so, Alice does not think that this kind of cooking can beat her, and she regards the theory of creating real cooking as "spirituality"...

Until I don’t know when, the commander who has already turned on the ripped clothes reprimanded: “No, Alice, although your bento uses all kinds of advanced cooking theories, but when the intention begins, you lose! Xingping Chuangzhen considers The thing is, how can you use bento to give people who eat bento the maximum enjoyment, and you just stuff what you know into your work!"

"But the most important thing in cooking should be'delicious', right?" Alice retorted.

Chuang Zhen interrupted at this moment: "I don't object to this truth, so you should try my bento too!" Then he handed the seaweed rice with the thickening sauce to Alice.

In the end, the commander picked up a huge brush that was as tall as a person, and wrote the name of the winner "Xingping Chuangzhen" on the huge scroll!

At this time, Alice was already crying like a big child, rolling all over the floor, her previous high-cold image disappeared.

"Don't you want to comfort me?" Liu Subaru suddenly frightened Erina who was on the sidelines.

"Ah! You, when did you come here?"

"It's a pity that the two people's cooking is actually almost the same in terms of'deliciousness', but from the perspective of lunch, Chuangzhen really won." Liu Subaru sighed.

"Humph, crying if you lose, it's a shame for the Nagiri family, why should I comfort her?" Erina said proudly.

"An Xin, next time you need it, I can lend you my shoulder to cry, now it's your sister's appearance!" Liu Subaru said involuntarily in Erina's protest, pushing her onto the court...
