The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd
Chapter 263 Isn't it a bit abrupt?
"Huh? Axing, do you want to sign up too?"
At the registration site of the "Sapporo Ramen Contest", Yu Ji found that after the students had signed up in the special registration channel of Yuan Yue, Liu Subaru also signed up...
"Yes, since I caught up, it would be a shame not to participate. The Sapporo Ramen Contest is also an important event in Hokkaido, and the assessment is completely nested in the competition, and there is nothing for us." Liu Subaru explained.
Indeed, the only condition for passing the assessment is to pass the preliminaries. Among them, the organizer is running, and there is nothing about Liu Subaru and Erina.
The reason there is a special registration channel is naturally because the organizer here was notified last night. A total of 99 people have signed up, and they are still Yuanyue students. It is not surprising that there will be a special registration channel. .
In addition, for the organizer, there is nothing to prepare, it's just that there are nearly a hundred more people who sign up...
However, because of this, there are some players who were originally confident to "get into the finals", but they are only able to "get into the finals."
However, in the rules of the competition, there is no provision prohibiting the students of the Cooking Academy from participating in groups. It is useless if they complain!
As for the seeded players who had rushed to the top ten or even won the championship, they only focused on Liu Subaru and Erina. The other students were not within their sight...
After all, the one-year students of Totsuki Academy are only 16 years old, and the age of the "Sapporo Ramen Contest" is 25 years old. Most seeded players are over 20 years old. They are descendants of professional ramen shops and even chefs.
The chef here does not refer to the position of Yuanyue Resort, but the owner and master of the ramen shop.
For these 16-year-old “children”, they don’t take it seriously. After all, there is a gap of several years, and they are only “one-year-olds”. If Yuanyue announces that the three-year graduation assessment will be here, then I’m afraid It's going to blow up!
At this time, the three-year students are basically no different from the graduates, and the top ten have the strength to impact the top few, even if they are not good at ramen.
Of course, it is impossible for Yuanyue College to place important graduation assessments in a regional competition...
As for Liu Subaru and Erina... No matter how many years they were born, ten outstanding persons are ten outstanding persons!
And Liu Subaru has a history of winning the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest", while Erina has always been a celebrity in the culinary world. Although their top ten seats are the first and second to last, no one will underestimate it.
However, it is only "not to be underestimated", because when the competition is in the final, the rules are very different from the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Competition", and it can even be said that the competition direction of the competition is completely different...
After signing up, Liu Subaru brought the students back to the booked hotel, and before moving in, explained the rules of the "Sapporo Ramen Contest"...
"...Although many of you should know the rules, I will repeat it again. In the case of the Sapporo Ramen Contest, after the deadline for our registration, more than 3000 chefs have signed up...Of course, a large part of it is for us In terms of soy sauce!" Liu Subaru's statement is simple and easy to understand.
Sapporo ramen is originally a local characteristic. When the "Ramen Contest" is held, almost all ramen restaurants in Hokkaido will participate. Many ramen restaurants outside the island and even some exotic noodle restaurants will come to join in the fun...
But as Liu Subaru said, most of them are just for fun!
Some have no craftsmanship, and even pure ramen lovers and non-professional cooks will come to have fun...Of course, there are also many masters in small ramen shops.
However, Liu Subaru estimated that out of these three thousand people, two thousand are soy sauce, and they themselves did not expect much.
"The rules of the preliminaries are similar to the theme system of the'Jiji'. The preliminaries will be announced this evening and the game will start tomorrow morning. That means you have one night to prepare something... Now the only thing you can determine Yes, the competition event must be related to ramen. Before the official topic is released, you can also make some preparations, and the requirement for passing the grade assessment is to enter the final list of 200 to 300 people!" Liu Subaru said.
The number of 3,000 registered players will be reduced to 2,300 after a preliminary round, which shows that the overall quality of the participants is uneven, and the cruelty of the elimination rate is also evident.
"Huh? Why are there so many people in the finals? Two hundred to three hundred people?" a student asked.
"The preliminaries are not the nature of the scoring and ranking, but after the dishes are presented, the judges will announce whether they pass or not. Therefore, there is a flexibility in the number of people, usually between 200 and 300 people...Of course, I believe this year In this competition, the number of people will be biased towards three hundred or even more than three hundred." Liu Subaru encouraged everyone.
But this is also true. After all, there are 99 more Yuanyue students. I believe that the number of people entering the preliminaries will be the highest in a few years...
"Well, in the future, everyone is free! Tomorrow at ten o'clock to participate in the game in the notified competition area, disband!" Liu Subaru announced.
Although Japanese-style ramen has heavy soup, the quality of the noodles will definitely have an impact. There are problems during the preliminaries. Therefore, the soup must be notified at 6 o’clock in the evening, and then prepared according to the theme. Now students mostly choose Buy high-quality flour.
After the students dispersed, Erina put his arms under the twin peaks and asked Liu Subaru: "How about? Any ideas?"
Looking at Erina's proud man, Liu Subaru couldn't help but swallowed, "Is this question a bit abrupt?"
Erina was confused at first: "Huh?" Then he blushed and shouted, "You...what are you thinking in your head? Normal people know that I'm asking about the game!"
Yu Mei and the others also leaned in at this moment, and at the same time looked at Erina's teeth in doubt...
Because the previous assessment was in charge of Pleiades Liu and Erina, other people, out of suspicion, never consulted them about the assessment recipe, but this time the assessment was completely embedded in the competition, so naturally there was no scruples.
After all, Liu Subaru and Erina have nothing to do with the organizer of the game, and there is no need to avoid suspicion, and there is no requirement for the players not to wait to discuss something before the game.
"In Chinese cuisine,'noodles' is also a very popular category, but the specific details must be considered after the topic is out." Liu Subaru said.
"Who told you about the preliminaries... No matter how you look at it, all we have to consider are the finals, right?" Erina said helplessly.
"Yes, if you are confident, you should now consider the finals... After all, the finals of the'Sapporo Ramen Contest' don't have the term'theme'. You can participate as long as it is'noodles'... It's just that every year. Ramen makes up the vast majority."
After Liu Maoxing finished speaking, he found that Ji Xingliao and the few people he knew were all thinking about it...
It seems that for them, the preliminaries are far from satisfying them. Since they have participated, their goal is to win the championship... even if this goal is a bit far away!
The "theme" of the finals is fixed and broad. This is also an important reason why the real seed players did not care too much about the nearly 100 Yuanyue students who entered.
Because most of the ramen they competed in was the "town shop recipe" of each ramen shop they belonged to, the kind of "own shop specialty" directly printed on the signboard!
That is to say, after passing the creative assessment and elimination of the preliminaries, you have to face the old-fashioned ramen shop, the collective wisdom...
Of course, there are restrictions on this in the rules of the competition. For example, only the broth made on site can be used in the preliminaries, and the broth in the finals must be completed by the contestants. If it takes too long to complete, it can be used in the preliminaries. In the next three days, apply for bringing your own raw materials, and pre-treat the soup in a closed place prepared by the organizer.
"You'd better not underestimate the ramen shops. Although none of the ramen shops in Sapporo has passed the star certification of the three major cooking organizations, it is mainly because the authentic ramen shops rarely offer other dishes and the environment Except for'tidy', there is no place that meets the standard, and the service is also the type that even the ramen master will cook ramen while chatting with customers...
That’s why it can’t be rated as a star. But let’s not talk about other ramen shops, just the masters of the most “willful” old shops in “Sapporo Ramen Street”, if they apply for personal certification, “two-star ramen” It is estimated that there will be more than one teacher, and there should be more than one three-star!"Erinai's tone was a bit solemn.
"Do you know it well?" Liu Subaru asked puzzled.
"They come to me to make an appointment for tasting almost every year. It is hard to imagine that it is the flavor that ramen can create...Of course, there are not many ramen shops that can do this."
Liu Subaru nodded clearly... He could hardly imagine the specific taste, but who is Erina?The eldest lady who "looks down" on civilian cuisine, the taste of ramen, even if it doesn't have to be said, is obviously not related to the noble cuisine of the tall, even if Erina said so, you can get a glimpse!
"But there are no young people under the age of 25 in those old shop masters you are talking about? Even with the same formula, some things can't be simply'copy'." Liu Subaru was eager.
Yuhime suddenly said: "By the way, I seem to have heard that there is a ramen shop in Tokyo with a one-star certification? One time I wanted to eat, but I couldn't make an appointment!"
Erina nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, that is the only star-rated restaurant in the island country that is purely noodle restaurant, that is..."
At this moment, a passerby's voice came over: "Have you heard? The descendant of Tokyo's'Hitori Ramen' also signed up for the competition..."
