The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

Two days have passed since the preliminaries. The next night, Pleiades Liu left the restaurant building of the Hokkaido branch, and when he walked towards the hotel opposite, he turned around and looked at it and said, "Everyone has a good energy these past two days! There are often cooking rooms. The lamp will be bright all night..."

"Of course, for the remaining 80 or so students, absolutely no one wants to fail the assessment because of their slack at this time." Erina said.

At this time, Feisha, Erina and Pleiades Liu returned to the hotel together...

Feisha put in a sentence at this time: "Counting Axing you and Miss Erina, a total of 87 students in the 92nd class entered the second year, which is better than last year."

"If it weren't for the'central food organization', I am afraid that the number of second-year students this year will break through to three digits... But it's not a pity, but I'm a little lucky. Those who are not firm in their positions have chosen myself. 'Quit', so as not to waste resources! You must know that the average investment of the college for each second-year student will definitely be more than ten times that of the first-year student." Erina still looked cold.

Indeed, many students who passed and failed cooking skills have joined the "central gourmet organization". Otherwise, if more than 200 people have participated in the assessment, Erina felt that it would be possible for more than 30 or 40 people to pass...

But as she said, this is not a pity, because you will be tempted away, psychologically you don't have the consciousness of becoming a truly powerful cook, and it was originally not the type that Yuanyue wanted to cultivate!

"By the way, when will you go to the preparation area tomorrow?" Erina asked Liu Subaru.

The official game starts at 10 am the day after tomorrow, and it is still a three-hour time limit. However, you can go to the stadium not far in advance. In the preparation area provided by the organizer, the preparation of the soup and other "semi-finished products" that need to be completed in advance.

In the finals, the control of "semi-finished products" is extremely strict. You can also bring some broth during the preliminaries, but in the finals, you must use the most primitive ingredients and spices for cooking...

After all, the final itself has no theme. If restrictions are imposed, many people from the ramen restaurant will directly bring the broth from the ramen restaurant at home, and then only do some simple cooking and serving.

In this way, the original meaning of the game has changed. It will become a simple recipe for a ramen restaurant, and the age limit of the players will also become a decoration...

What does age have to do with noodle cooking and serving?If there are no restrictions, no matter how old the people come, there will be no impact!

Therefore, it is stipulated that any kind of pretreatment must be carried out in the venue provided by the organizer.

There is also a competition that simply compares the signature recipes of each ramen restaurant, that is, the triennial "ramen street store dispute battle", which will be more intense than the current competition in the youth group.

The current "Sapporo Ramen Contest" itself is a competition to motivate young ramen masters, so in the finals, they will try their best to do it themselves...

Of course, some wines that have been produced for several years or even decades can be brought directly into the market.

On the one hand, those things cannot be completed on-site, and on the other hand, the "semi-finished products" with such a long production cycle are usually strict and not difficult. And most importantly...the use of such "semi-finished products" is definitely very difficult. It is a manifestation of the player's own ability.

In addition, the soup will be made on the spot by them, and three days is enough.

It is precisely for this reason that in the cooking building of the Hokkaido branch, the students of Yuanyue students are fighting day and night, preparing to take out the ramen they have earned for a year in the finals, while the players other than Yuanyue students are Have rarely come here.

On the first day after the preliminaries, some players came to practice their hands. Starting in the afternoon, there were almost no outsiders. Today, apart from the cooking room occupied by the students of Yuanyue Academy, it was even more indifferent...

On the one hand, it was because the other players had decided on what ramen to use in the finals, and there was no need to innovate on their own. On the other hand, a large part of the players were all yesterday or even the night after the preliminaries. I entered the cooking field in the preparation area and started preparing for the final ramen.

Fortunately, the organizers are also prepared. In the morning before the finals, the semi-finished products prepared in the waiting area, such as broth, will be saved by the competition. At the beginning of the finals, the players will watch them on their own stadium. The semi-finished products that I have prepared these days...

And at this time in the morning, you can give the players a break for themselves.

Otherwise, you must know that in the finals, just like the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest", there will be a lot of spectators present. If you look at that time, the players will have been fighting for three days and three nights with red eyes. The sloppy look full of stubble, I'm afraid it's a bit of an image...

Although many chefs can shave themselves with a kitchen knife for their knife skills, usually the more enthusiastic chefs are, the less likely they are to do this!

Although Liu Subaru and the others do not have a ready-made formula, there are definitely things that need to be prepared in advance. Because of the special nature of the competition, the control of semi-finished products in the final of the "Sapporo Ramen Contest" is too strict...

"My word... maybe after lunch tomorrow! It is said that after entering the preparation area, you can only prepare your own food. Moreover, there is the last short section of Sapporo Ramen Street. I will go after the'cleanup'." Liu Subaru said.

Erina rolled her eyes and said, "You can really eat it! Sapporo Ramen Street is one of thousands of ramen restaurants in Sapporo. It is tested every three years, and the top 100 stores can be settled... That is, you only use two. In half a day, I tasted the ramen from 100 ramen restaurants?"

Pleiades Liu has spent a lot of his time on the "Sapporo Ramen Street" in the past few days. The reason why he still comes to the cooking room every day is mostly because of the ramen shop on Ramen Street No. 1 in Sapporo, although because of the rules of the side street, The daily business hours are relatively fixed, but there are few that are open for more than six hours a day, and most of them are closed in the afternoon...

"Nothing...I only tasted three or five kinds of signature ramen from each! And thanks to the cooperation of many ramen shop owners..." Liu Maoxing said "modestly".

nonsense!If every ramen restaurant sweeps the menu, it is estimated that the masters of ramen shops will be frightened!

Even now, every ramen shop tastes three to five kinds of ramen, and many masters of ramen will be willing to cooperate with him to make as small a bowl of ramen as possible after knowing Liu Subaru's identity, but Liu Subaru has eaten it in the past two and a half days. It is absolutely equivalent to the food of fifteen big men in three days!

In "Sapporo Ramen Street", there is also a legend of "big stomach king"...

Especially when the masters of Ramen Street talked to each other about this matter, and later discovered that the "big stomach king" Liu Subaru had actually "swept away" his own ramen shop, and then patronized the next shop. These masters also even more. Shocked.

When Liu Subaru was caring for the first house, he was presented with a chart. After eating one house, the boss would put a stamp on the chart. A total of 100 stamp positions were almost gathered...

This also means that Liu Subaru is about to reach it now, and he has tasted the achievements of all the signature noodles of "Sapporo Ramen Street"!

Liu Subaru staring at the chart that is almost full, secretly said: This kind of almost zero-cost activity is indeed more able to mobilize people's "vanity"...

There are also many veterans who will “live” in Sapporo for a period of time in order to consider this achievement. The successful ones among them often need two or three months...

Of course, Liu Subaru is not to gather the charts, but to absorb "nutrients"!

"I and Hisasha should go to the preparation area every morning. Come on yourself! Don’t forget your bet with other people. There are 92 people in the first division entering the finals. In addition to me and Shiratori Ayame, there are also There are 89 people who have a bet with you. Have you spent the past few days on the ramen street? When you are in the cooking room, you are just doing sword exercises over and over again. Have you thought about what kind of ramen to use in the finals? Be careful not to really lose to anyone other than me!" Erina said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hahaha, don't worry... Anyway, Dojima-senpai took the bet! Ahem, I mean, I'm ready!" Liu Subaru said.

"..."

Seeing Erina still suspicious, Liu Subaru added: "Don't worry, I'm ready...but it's not'ramen'!"

"Not Ramen?" Erina muttered, but Liu Subaru did not explain much.

In fact, according to the "Japanese-style ramen" positioning, Liu Subaru's "**** noodles" can not be completely regarded as "Japanese-style ramen", although his dragon beard noodles are really "pulled", but "Japanese-style ramen" "Has nothing to do with "pull", mainly refers to "hot noodle soup"!

And Liu Subaru's "**** noodles" are cold soup noodles...

"Although other types of noodles, cold noodles, and braised noodles are not unacceptable, but in the finals, half of the ten judges are usually the veteran shop in Sapporo Ramen Street. The masters of, their acceptance of other types of noodles is not too high.

And because they are not gourmets, but simple cooks, or ramen chefs, when scoring'ramen', their professionalism is beyond doubt, but once they compare'ramen' with other dishes, their Subjective will is bound to be uncontrollable!Erina reminded.

"This is how I can show my strength! And... I believe the judges will approve of my'ramen'." Liu Subaru said confidently.

Erina also knows that Liu Subaru does not need to worry about others in this regard, and since he has chosen the appearance, I am afraid that he will not give up because of a word from others.

"Well, let's see who you are more stubborn..."

On the third day, Liu Subaru, according to the original plan, completely "conquered" the Sapporo Ramen Street, and then took a trolley to push it forward, which seemed to be more than ten times more than ten ramen servings, and entered. Preparation area.

Regarding this, the supervisors of the tournament have also been surprised. The ingredients brought by other players seem to be excessive, but Liu Subaru is the most exaggerated among all the players.

Moreover, Liu Maoxing brought in not only the ingredients, otherwise, even if it was more than a hundred people, he would not be able to directly bring in. The most important thing is that he also brought many tools for refitting the cooking table, as well as steel plates and steel bars. Kind of, the most striking are four glass panels as big as walls!

When Liu Subaru picked these up and fixed them around the counter, he couldn't help attracting the attention of many inspectors and other players in the same field.

Some of them are Yuanyue students who are assigned to a cooking room. At this time, I also don’t know what Liu Subaru is doing. It takes so much time...

However, some students couldn't help but think of Liu Subaru's special "cooking table" in the finals of the "Autumn Trials"!

When the people in the competition checked the ingredients he was carrying, Liu Subaru also took care of himself to modify his cooking table first!

After that, he can apply to exchange his modified cooking table in the preparation area with the cooking table he used before the final...

"Can the size of this modification exceed the red line around here?" Liu Subaru and the staff confirmed once.

There is a circle of red lines around each cooking table, and the range is much larger than the cooking table itself. At this time, the limit area of ​​the cooking table is transformed or enlarged.

In the next 18 hours, Liu Subaru renovated his cooking table while preparing various sauces and "pre-processing" many auxiliary materials, such as dicing and mincing.

That's right, it's the sauce, not the soup!

And it seems that there is more than one sauce?

Until 6 o'clock in the morning of the game, the results of the "pre-processing" of the players will be sealed. If the modified counter or large equipment is needed, the staff of the competition team will transfer these to the stadium. .

At this time, the players can take a break and adjust their mental state. After four hours, the game will officially start!

Although the "Sapporo Ramen Contest" is only a competition for the youth group, in order to reflect the importance of Sapporo's organizers to the youth power of ramen culture, the finals are held in the largest square in Sapporo every year...

A few days before the start of the competition, wind-proof curtains will be pulled up around the square, and suggested spectator seats will be erected around the square. The center of the square is the counter for the contestants.

Sapporo people are also familiar with this arrangement, because not only the "Sapporo Ramen Contest", but also the "Sapporo Ramen Street Store Dispute Battle" held every three years...

The latter will last for a week each time, and the format is similar to the "School Festival" of Yuanyue Academy. It is carried out in an operating manner, and finally the top 100 will be determined by the final number of tokens. It has the right to be in the next three years In, rent a shop in "Sapporo First Ramen Street".

The "Sapporo Ramen Contest" usually enters the finals. It is the descendant of the ramen shop in Sapporo's First Ramen Street, or the descendant of the store of a strong competitor. It is held twice every three years, and a dispute battle will be held in the third year. .

If a previously unknown ramen shop suddenly achieves very good results in the "Sapporo Ramen Contest", it will be considered a signal that it will rise and become a strong competitor in the "Ramen Street Store Dispute War"!

Firstly, it is because of the results achieved in the "Sapporo Ramen Contest", which definitely means that the shop has made great progress in terms of recipes. Secondly, because of the results achieved in the "Sapporo Ramen Contest", it will be in the first three years. It was a shortcut to get everyone's attention during the "Ramen Street Store Battle".

For example, if a contestant at a store outside of "Ramen Street No. 1" suddenly wins the championship, there will definitely be many diners willing to visit their stalls when the "Ramen Street Store Dispute Battle" begins next year.

At the same time, this is also a spur for the ramen shops that are already on the No. 1 Ramen Street in Sapporo. If they don't pay attention to the innovative thinking of young people, they will be eliminated in the preliminaries, which will hurt their popularity!

However, in order to more mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, as the "Sapporo Ramen Contest" for the youth group competition, the competition also accepts applications from ramen shops in other regions and private players.

That's why all the one-year students of Yuanyue College signed up this time. As Liu Subaru expected, the number of people entering the finals this year broke the record for nearly a dozen years. There were a total of 292 people in the finals on the same stage!

Nearly 30% of them are Yuanyue's 92nd annual students...

I have to say that in the preliminaries, when this kind of test on-the-spot creative ability, Yuanyue's students even face an average of about five years older than themselves, and they have a great advantage in the opponent's good project!

Even during the preliminaries, many judges found that the "monsters" of the top ten, not to mention, there are many staggering "little monsters" under the top ten...

Of course, in the finals, the judges were still not optimistic about them.

Because if in the preliminaries, they were fighting against professional ramen chefs who are five years older on average, then in the finals, they were fighting against the background of many old shops!

Although most of these young players can't perfectly reproduce the secret ramen at home, they are not the 16-year-olds who are not the non-professional ramen masters. The innovative results of a few days can be compared of……

Because it is a competition for commercial purposes, the opening ceremony is far more fancy than the internal competition at Far Moon Academy.

First came a group of sexy ramen babies, who twisted for a while...

After that, the emcee who appeared on the stage was also a charming mistress. Although she was dressed conservatively, she had an E in her heart!

The excitement of the boys at Far Moon Academy made Kawashima Rei particularly upset...

"Dear live ramen enthusiasts, ramen enthusiasts in front of the TV, ramen enthusiasts on the webcasting platform! Do you miss Nono? If you think about me, you can come to Ramen Street No. 1 to participate in the'Ramen Everywhere' Event, or'Big Stomach King' event, gather all the badges of all the shops in Ramen Street, and you can have dinner with Nono!"

It has to be said that compared with the "predecessors", Kawashima Rei is still far behind in terms of professional skills such as the super-hot atmosphere when serving as emcee, timing, or personal temperament.

But at the same time, I have to say that the event "Dinner with Nono" was planned too unscrupulously!

The Big Stomach King event is a sigh of relief. Within two hours, I ate the enlarged version of the signature noodles from ten Ramen Street shops. Except for Liu Subaru's "extraordinary talents", even if he was looking for people from the Chanko Hot Pot Research Society Come, it may not be completed...

As for the "Taste Ramen" activity, it is similar to what Liu Subaru did in the past three days. It doesn't seem to cost much, but in fact, "normal people" want to complete it. Even if they eat ramen every day, it will take three months!

Although most of the ramen noodles are very economical at the same time as it is delicious, people who live in one place for three months must have a lot of money on hand. If they live in Sapporo for three consecutive months, how much consumption can they attract?

Just give this "Nono" a little appearance fee, and let her accompany her to have a high-level candlelight dinner!The person planning this kind of event must be very smart...

Of course, now Liu Subaru just wants to blur the face of this planner!

Wouldn’t it be okay to post a poster at all ramen shops next time you do this kind of event?

That's right, Liu Subaru has reached the "Taste Ramen All Over" campaign without knowing it himself, although he also heard the opening remarks of Nono before he knew what the stamps that the ramen boss gave him were for!

No wonder some bosses laugh weirdly when they look at themselves...

Even if Liu Subaru star doesn't turn his head to look, he can feel a few more lines of sight, looking at him "innocently"...

As if to expose the real reason why I kept eating ramen for the past three days...

Just when Liu Subaru was about to pretend that he didn’t know anything, Nono said on the court again: “Hey, in today’s game, it seems that one of the players has already completed the activity of “Taste Ramen”, and he is also a member of Yuanyue Academy. Jie high-achieving student! Come on first in the competition! No matter what results you get afterwards, Sister Nono will accompany you to celebrate in the evening!"

For a while, countless lights were thrown at Liu Subaru Star, and the fierce gaze that had been aimed at him seemed to be more aggressive!

Liu Maoxing stiffly hooked the corner of his mouth, and said in secret: What a disaster!

Why do everyone know that it is Liu Subaru?nonsense!The top ten of Yuanyue Academy, is it not Liu Subaru but also Erina?What kind of brainpower is needed to think that Erina will go to ramen street for three consecutive days "to have dinner with Nono"?

Moreover, seeing that from the beginning, Erina stared at Liu Subaru with "bad eyesight". Can you guess something?

For a while, the local Sapporo player couldn't help but sigh and feel unhappy at Liu Subaru. What he sighed was that the amount of appetite was so big that the goal was achieved in three days!Although many of them are from Ramen Street shops, they have been in the preparation area for two or three days, so they only know about it now...

What's uncomfortable is that this product is not only to compete in the "ramen" that everyone is best at, but even the "Ramen Baby Queen" in Sapporo wants to be in?

As for the players of Yuanyue Academy, they are used to it, no matter for his appetite, or the "quality" of attracting bees and butterflies wherever he goes, he deserves to be sacked at night...
