The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

"This, this feeling is..."

"The wildness of bear meat is completely released!"

"And did not feel any uncomfortable fishy smell?"

"It seems that there is a taste, combined with the bear meat, so that its fishy smell is reduced, and the unique wild flavor without any attenuation, this is..."

"Genievre." Dojima Gin said with his eyes closed.

"Genievre? Does it mean... juniper berries? That's right! So, it does have the taste of juniper berries!" another gourmet judge said brightly before his eyes.

Although other ramen masters also have the spirit of openness, innovation and continuous improvement, many uncommon spices and ingredients are still unfamiliar to them and far less familiar to gourmets. It is for this reason that in competitions, they usually have professional counterparts. In addition to the master chefs, they usually mix and match some gourmets in...

Because I don't know which player has an open mind, it is possible that these master chefs who specialize in one can be dazed.

In particular, the juniper berries used by Ye Shanliang are more often used for their medicinal value, and they are also used in some ancient religious ceremonies. When they are used to process food materials, most of them are also used for antiseptic Features: It is very rare that it is used to preserve food and directly used in spices.

As a shrub fruit, juniper berries are usually stained with a layer of resin, which is generally considered to be part of the juniper berries.When used as a spice, the taste of juniper berries is bitter, astringent, and spicy. A small amount can be added to preserve food when pickling food. It can also be ground and simmered for drinking. It is not easy to use directly...

"Wait, in addition to the juniper berries, which are the main force that harmonizes the taste of bear meat, the'Cajun Spice' is also added..."

Cajun spices, similar to the authentic "Orleans" flavor, but not much like the inexplicable Orleans flavor of K's.

"This large piece of bear meat does not have the slightest fishy smell. When the mouthful of bear meat is chewed, the irritation of juniper berries and the unique wild flavor of bear meat, as well as the full taste, continue to burst and spread in the mouth. , And stimulate the sense of smell and taste!"

Gudong Gudong...

"Mr. Asai?"

At this moment, Asai actually started to take a bowl of soup!

"Sure enough, this kind of'subduing' taste requires a big mouthful to be enjoyable! Alright... Nono, no need to stare at me, I will control my appetite!" Asai smiled.

"That's true! It's great to eat soup and meat, with a slightly sour ramen!"

"Yes, after this ramen, you should knead white wine in...No, not only white wine, but also a flavor that goes well with bear meat. This is..."

"The bone marrow, it should be the bone marrow of the bear also slightly added in." Dojima Gin said.

"That's it! The bone marrow is often the heaviest part of the'game'. Adding some bone marrow to the noodles can make the taste of the noodles'live' in the bear broth!"

Seeing that the judges turned into small animals, constantly "eating", Noono gave the staff aside frantically, and removed Ye Shanliang's bear meat ramen...

Although just smelling the smell made Nono a little addicted, but now the judges can't eat too much!

"Next, please judges to give points for Ye Shanliang...Oh my God! It appeared! The highest score so far! Four 9 points, two 7 points, four 8 points, a total score of 82 points! Over 80 points! And it surpassed the previous Kurokiba player's 78 points!" Nono said hard.

Fortunately, Kurokiba's turban has been confiscated, otherwise I am afraid there will be trouble now...

At the moment Ye Shanliang announced the score, he was slightly dissatisfied, but immediately changed to a "mature and serious face" and said a few words that he would continue to work hard!

Obviously because I have been taking care of the "Spice Research Association" with Xi Jianjun (or "Take care of Shi Jianjun and the Spice Research Association"), Ye Shanliang appears to be very mature in dealing with people and things.

After the competition, it seemed to have entered a quiet period again. Although some elite students from Yuan Yue and other dark horses in the second to tenth divisions, there were more than ten people who scored more than 70 points, but Ye Shanliang's 82 points were the highest. Points, but has not wavered!

After that was Xingping Chuangzhen's "gluten noodles", unexpectedly scored 78 points, similar to Kurokiba...

This made Kurokiba almost ran away in the "normal mode", breaking through the restrictions of the turban...

Liu Subaru felt familiar with Chuangzhen's noodles at the beginning, but then suddenly realized that this is the legendary "spicy noodles"?

It’s just that Chuangzhen’s “spicy bar” is not a product sold by “Dragon”, but a self-made and exclusive “hot spicy” recipe!

Can use a form other than "noodle soup" to get such a high score...

Besides, Chuang Zhen was the only player who "drew out" recipes other than noodle soup without hesitation.

The reason why Liu Subaru chooses fried noodles is because of his confidence in his "new skills", while Xingping Chuangzhen is more because he is not bound by anything other than cooking and his heart of free cooking!

It can be seen that Chuangzhen now has the style of some wandering chef Seiichiro Caiha!

There is also Takumi’s rice-shaped pasta that looks like "soup rice", and Alice’s self-proclaimed "all-in-one" ramen is a kind of gooey-like thing, although they also have the sign of soup noodles, but in fact how Don't look like...

But in the end Takumi also scored 72 points, and Alice scored 77 points, reaching the first echelon!

Mito Yumei's beef ramen is also very good...

For the pure beef stock, a layer of thinly sliced ​​raw beef is spread from the bottom of the bowl to the edge of the bowl. The topping is also two-cooked fried beef, which maximizes the taste and texture of the beef, and also obtained 77 Minute!

Because the order of the finals is related to the number of preliminaries, the top two hundred players are all those who were shortlisted in the preliminaries from No. 2 to No. 10, and the players in the No. 1 contest are ranked last.

Except for a few "accidentally" eliminated players in Division One, the other 92 finalists in Division One were still ranked last in the previous order...

Therefore, the scores of the previous players are generally "not high", which is actually what everyone expected. This time because of the "spoiler" of the first-year students of Yuanyue Academy, there will be so many more than 60 points, even seven or eight. The very players have surprised everyone!

You must know that there were even a lot of points in the past, and the championship score was only 80 points...

Of course, in addition to all kinds of "grotesque" ramen, there are also traditional ramen of five contestants who scored more than 75 points, and the highest one reached 81 points second only to Hayama Liang!

Moreover, this player who scored 81 points in a relatively traditional ramen format is not a player from Sapporo Ramen Street, but a student from Totsuki Academy!

Except for her, among Yuanyue’s students, either the grades are average or even low, or they are all "strange and weird" ramen. This stream of Yuanyue Academy is naturally silent in the preliminaries. Tian Suohui...

Probably many people have forgotten the advantages of Tian Suohui in this competition. Tian Suohui is best at local cuisine, and the best at local cuisine is the local cuisine in her hometown, Aizu...

The other city in Fukushima prefecture along with Aizu is Kitakata, which is the "Three Ramen Sacred Sites in the Island Country" along with Sapporo in Hokkaido and Hakata in Fukuoka Prefecture!

From this point of view, Xiaohui is the one who is closest to ramen in her own cooking system among all the elite students, and in the first game of the "Autumn Trial", she also "practised" with Kurokiba in ramen, although At that time, he was eliminated by Heimuchang because he could not stably stimulate the heart of the kitchen...

Compared with other students, Xiaohui's advantage in "ramen" is obvious, and even most of the students of Yuan Yue Academy are insulated from the civilian cuisine of "ramen".

In the final, Xiaohui also combined her own advantages to come up with an Aizu-style Kitakata ramen!

The soup stock made with pork bone stock and dried seafood products of Aizu specializes in a double stock soup base, which is a more obvious improvement than the "Aizu Soup Chicken Soy Sauce Ramen" during the autumn trials.

And even though Liu Subaru did not try her final product, he felt that Tian Suohui had inspired the power of "Cooking Heart"!

A kind of "cooking heart" that makes diners feel warmth like the gentle afternoon sun in autumn...

And as a result of the "crit attack", he rushed to the second place for the time being. At this time, Kurokiba, who was not wearing a turban, had already circled the corner...

Obviously, Tian Suohui, who had lost to himself, seemed a little gloomy when he surpassed him this time. It is estimated that during the winter vacation, he would arrange a "hell training" for himself.

"Now let us invite contestant No. 201 to present our own ramen to the judges!"

After the previous warm-up, the real "seed players" finally came to show their power...

However, there are obviously a lot of "dark horses" this year. There are already more than 20 players who have scored more than 70 points. There are also a few who have scored more than 80 points. Most of them are finalists in Division 1. Even the current player from Sapporo's No. 1 Ramen Street can't reach the score!

Most of the so-called No. 1 players only have 60 points. Even if 70 points are outstanding, there are still not many 80 points, but the average strength is indeed much better than before...

Knowing that they can win against Ye Shanliang, Tian Suohui, Kurokiba, etc., there is nothing to show off. After all, the ramen of the former is the result of their own creation in the past few days, and they are only thanks to their predecessors. ...

Although this is also one of the advantages that chefs can borrow, at least they know that if they don't use the secret recipe in the store, they may not be able to compare with these elite students in the distant month!

You must know their average age, which is five or six years old than Yuanyue's one year old. You must also know that compared to Yuanyue's students, they are ramen masters who specialize in ramen!

This also made the audience who originally thought that the judges of this session gave a looser score, or that the latter players would have higher scores, gave up their original guesses.

"What's the matter with these guys? Is it slack?"

"That is, judging from the current results, is there going to be a major reshuffle of Sapporo No. 1 Ramen Street next year?"

"No, haven't you noticed that many of the players who suddenly broke out in their grades seem to be Yuanyue students...that is, those who look very young, not the representatives of the ramen shop."

"So...it seems to make sense..."

"But it's too early to praise them now. Those who are really capable players have not yet played!"

"But in Yuanyue College's one-year student, the two strongest top ten also seem to be behind, right?"

"Yes, and like the'Hitori Ramen' player, it's at the end!"

Among the audience's discussions, the players in the first division of the preliminary rounds also began to be confident that they were hit by a series of crit...

Naturally, they have not forgotten the gambling agreement with Liu Maoxing!

In the preliminaries, they did not use the secret ramen from their own store. In addition, during the preliminaries, the judges did not give a score. So although the judges’ reaction revealed that there is a gap between Liu Subaru and himself, The perception of this gap is not sensitive.

Up to now, although Liu Subaru hasn't taken a shot, the performance of Yuanyue's other students has already put a lot of pressure on them!

In particular, Ye Shanliang's score of 82 points has suppressed most of the players. Even if they call themselves "seed players", few of them have higher scores than Ye Shanliang.

What's more, Liu Subaru, as a top ten, is unreasonably worse than an "ordinary student", right?

In other words, I am afraid that 85 points or even less than 90 points are not considered safe...

And until the final stage, when it was the turn of the "Sapporo Ramen Three Heavenly Kings" shop, the score finally appeared above 90 points!

The first player with a score of 90 points or more is Aso contestant No. 287, who presented Aso Ramen's signature noodle "Salt Ramen".

As one of the most common traditional ramen, among the 292 people in the finals, many contestants chose "Shio Ramen", just as many of the ramen restaurants in Sapporo use "Shio Ramen" as their signature!

However, even in terms of appearance, Aso's salt-flavored ramen has already shown its difference from other people's "sio-flavored ramen."

While the soup is crystal clear, it is densely covered with a layer of golden transparent shiny grease, which is particularly attractive.

"Salt Ramen" usually uses pork bones, kelp and other vegetables to make a soup base, and then add "salt" to season it. It seems very simple...

However, in this "simple", there is a gap between "ordinary" and "delicious"!

Of course, Contestant Aso will not explain his recipes in detail. This is the result of his family’s secret recipes and improvements over the past generations. No matter how open it is, there is no reason to announce this...

But he probably didn't know it himself, there was another person present who knew his formula, that was Liu Subaru!

Liu Subaru's "Taste Ramen All Over" event the other day...No!He didn't want to participate in any activities at all, just tasted the ramen on No. 1 Ramen Street!

Anyway, at that time, he naturally tasted the signature noodles of Aso Ramen...

In addition, although last year, the Aso ramen master Aso Souji asked Erina to taste ramen once, but even now Erina’s taste "recognition" is not as good as Liu Subaru, let alone a year ago , There is no time to lift the restrictions.

Although you can follow Aso's improvement ideas and accurately push one step forward, the exact formula can only be imitated to 80 to 90% at most, unless Erina is willing to study for a few months... but she is obviously not so idle!

In addition, Ye Shanliang smelled sea salt, rock salt, and snow salt, at least three kinds of salt when Aso passed by, but it was definitely not good to use it for the time being...

Then came Fujie's Miso Ramen. "Fujie Ramen" is a long-established Sapporo ramen, as old as the "Sapporo No. 1 Ramen Street", and Miso Ramen is the representative of Sapporo's local ramen!

It is said that the ramen master often asked customers to add noodles to the pork miso soup, which inspired him...

The age of "Miso" is much longer than that of the ramen that only became popular in Chinatown more than a hundred years ago, and even its birth has been controversial. The ancient sauces that were introduced to Japan were derived from some ancient sauces that are similar to soybean paste. Another theory is that a derivative of the island country's Jomon period, when the salt-making technology first appeared, developed.

However, there is still a certain difference between "Miso" in the island country today and "Miso" in a broad sense. Although it is fermented with beans, miso is usually fermented with other grains, and depends on the fermentation koji used and the fermentation time. The added spices are different, and there are different types...

The most intuitive difference is that the taste of miso soup and miso soup is completely different.

And "Fujie Ramen" every year in the youth competition, the results are very good, which is often criticized, because his miso is readily available!

The miso used in "Fujie Ramen" is the "three-year miso", and even if you are not very picky, it takes at least half a year to ferment to complete the real miso. It is impossible to make it in any case in only three days...

Therefore, "Fujie Ramen" took some advantage in the competition!

Regarding the review of these non-Yuanyue Academy players, the judges’ attitude is also very simple, because most of them are not participating for the first time, and the judges are also familiar with the taste of these players and their signature face...

Most of them are compliments that "have made great progress compared to last year", "have mastered the essence of seven to eight points" and so on!

Every time when the judges spoke, they seemed to have their eyes erratic. They thought of the players from Yuan Yue Academy. Although their ramen was worked out within a few days, they suffered a lot from the effect, such as so far. Ye Shanliang, the strongest, was surpassed by some people...

But did they really win?

At least in the hearts of these judges, the most impressive thing is still Ye Shanliang's "bear meat ramen", even if it is ranked in the top ten, it is the "weird-looking" ramen of Yuan Yue that impressed them the most!

Although the masters of the ramen world all boast of the courage to innovate and cultivate the innovative consciousness of their successors, compared with the students of Yuanyue Academy, they are still far behind in this respect...

Especially the first dozen elite students, their strength has deeply shocked them, even instinctively blocked them. The age of these students is on average five or six years younger than other players, even the judges are in their hearts. , I don’t want to believe that these students are only one year old!
