Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Obviously, he didn't care about other people's eyes and just started eating.

"I said they were a couple!"

"This time, there's really no way to wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River."

"Damn you for showing off your affection in public like that!"

"Holy shit..."

Erina, who was standing high up in the VIP room, undoubtedly saw this scene. She just frowned viciously, and seemed to have a strong dissatisfaction in her heart. At this moment... Erina was just looking for a punching bag around her.

For some reason, she now desperately hoped that she could go down and show off her cooking and surpass Yukinoshita.

Of course, these were only a group of people who were relatively close to the two of them, and after seeing two high-scoring contestants in a row, most of the contestants felt very excited, and out of some fantasy, they also hoped that their cooking would soar to the sky, and then they were directly invited by Miss Hoshino Ai.

But...reality is always cruel.

"My name is Genshangyao..."

"22 points."

"My name is Yunshan Plating Liquid..."

"32 points."

"My name is Van Gogh..."

"19 points."

"My name is..."

"28 points...13 points...39 points..."

Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. From the beginning of the scoring session, it felt like the five judges were a different person. They kept giving low scores, which plunged the scene into silence.

Of course, others might not be able to understand it, but Hachiman, who had just tasted Yukinoshita's cuisine, knew it very well. After finishing this dish, he might not be able to achieve the same sense of gap as the next dish.

In a certain sense, the next few tests for the contestants will become increasingly difficult, but Mito was lucky enough to stay in the 80-point area.

Of course, it would be ridiculous to blame all this on Yukinoshita's cooking. After all, as long as she could make eye-catching food, she would still be able to compete with her, at least she would not get less than 40 points.

Kawashima Rei: "The next one to appear is Marui!"

This was the second member of Polaris Dormitory to appear on stage. He was still the same as before, wiping his lenses as he walked onto the stage.

As the lid of the pot was gradually opened, Marui's cuisine was finally unveiled at this moment.

but..

"what is this?"

“I don’t understand...”

“Why are they all white…”

That’s right, his cooking was exactly what he learned from Kazuchiro’s ramen, but this dish was slightly improved by using only white base and ingredients.

Aoi is added to the udon noodles, and this curry udon noodles will break the current situation.

Hoshino Ai: "What a unique dish, like a quiet spring flowing."

"Okay, let's start tasting it now!"

As a judge, it is impossible for him not to know the best way to eat ramen. After taking a sip of the soup, he began to inhale it violently, and the curry flavor of the soup finally burst out at this moment.

"The half-cooked poached eggs are covered with a lot of cream and mashed potatoes, and even a large layer of steaming cheese. In addition, the soup adopts the style of [Vichy Cream Soup]."

Listening to the judges' words, the audience on the stage didn't react for a while, but Shiomi directly pointed out what [Vichy Cream Soup] was.

"Vichy Cream Soup is a cold soup made mainly of potatoes and cream. It was developed by Louis Diehl, the chef of the high-end hotel Litz Carton in 1917."

Teacher Xie Peier also added:

"Not bad. Although the soup base looks too thick, it is actually not too greasy. Perhaps Marui was able to do this because there was an expert behind the scenes who was giving him advice."

Yes, just like the ramen that Shiroichiro made at the beginning, Marui referred to his method and also added his own knowledge to the curry project this time, making the base soup of his ramen less greasy and full of characteristics.

Ai Hoshino: "The combination of smooth udon noodles and coriander is really wonderful. Not only is it mild but also spicy, but most importantly, it complements the aroma of sunflower in it. The effect is outstanding!"

"This unparalleled taste is better than ordinary ramen!"

"80 points!"

Although he still did not surpass Mito, he had broken the 40-point curse and could be said to have entered the ranks of the elite. For Hachiman, it was a relief again.

Chapter 82 I always feel that you, Hikigaya, care about her a lot

At the same time, in venue B, Hayato Hayama and Ibusaki both ranked first in the venue because they scored 83 points.

However, because there were only five qualifying spots, the two did not feel complacent. Although what happened next was not something they could change subjectively, the brutal competition on the field always made them fall from the first place very quickly.

Compared with venue A, the scoring in venue B is equally strict, because failure to obtain high scores means failure to advance, so everyone has already given their all and there is no possibility of holding back.

only...

Ibusaki clearly noticed that the guy who had just been almost completely violent had changed so much that it was simply unbelievable.

That's right, it was Kurokiba Ryo, the little follower behind Alice. He was thought to have no desires, but after putting on a headscarf, he showed a completely different side. At that moment, Ibusaki was sure that he felt a tremendous pressure.

As the host's voice sounded, Kurokiba Ryo's name also continued to echo in the venue. Under the gaze of everyone, he just kept scanning the surroundings with his tyrannical eyes, and then brought his own dish to the judges' seat.

"No way... The base is American lobster sauce, a French cooking sauce made from the surface of crustaceans, and then... this deep woods aroma, this aroma is... Cognac."

"This is a premium brandy produced around the town of Cognac in western France."

“So that’s why. The aging process of brandy absorbs the aroma of the barrel, so the curry has the rich aroma of fir and sandalwood.”

In response to the judges' comments, Kurokiba also said:

"You're right, but by the way, in order to add a stronger aroma, I also used the finest Napoleon Cognac."

Judges: "I never thought that the aroma of cognac could be used to set off curry. This is really an excellent [French Japanese Lobster Curry]."

Alice seemed very satisfied with Kurokiba Ryo's performance. After nodding as expected, she turned her attention to the venue.

Then, as if she had noticed something, she pouted her lips unhappily and murmured:

"It's all because this B venue isn't very competitive. There aren't many spectators at all. Even Erina isn't here. I really want her to see my cooking with her own eyes."

"I don't know what's going on over there?"

Just as Alice was sighing, Kurokiba Ryo seemed to have prepared everything in advance and put all the final essence on the table.

That’s right, it’s a spice dropper made from cognac. All the essence has been almost completely concentrated in this small test tube.

Ryoko: "What is this guy going to do..."

Ibusaki: "It seems that this dish is not so easy to finish..."

Kurokiba Ryo: "Drip this into the shell and then suck the roe. This is the most delicious way to eat it."

"In this case, it will definitely smell even better than before."

Under the intense pressure, the judges had no chance to refute at all, and after hearing that it was even more fragrant than before, they seemed to have no hesitation at all and just did what Kurokiba said...

However, after the action of his hands began, it was impossible to control it with his own reason. The delicious taste of the seafood and the deep fragrance of the forest completely merged together until the world exploded and the universe was destroyed.

"Kurokiba, 93 points!"

Even in venue A, this score would make her the second contestant besides Yukinoshita to break 90 points. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a miracle. As soon as this score was announced, the entire venue B instantly burst into applause, and Alice just smiled faintly:

"This guy actually used his real strength."

"Then I can't lose to my own follower."

In venue A, after Marui finished rating his dishes, only three people's scores were left on the screen.

Yukinoshita Yukino scored 95 points.

Mito Yumei scored 82 points.

Marui scored 80 points.

Although there is a big gap between him and the two players behind him and the first place Yukinoshita, no one will doubt his ability as he can get into the 80 points. At least in this competition, being able to get into the 80 points means he has already grasped the opportunity to advance.

After Marui ignited the whole audience, the next contestant to go down was still a very famous one. She was Hisako Arato, who had been responsible for taking care of Erina's daily life.

As she slowly walked to the stage, Hoshino Ai quickly recognized the contestant:

"She is the contestant who just used medicinal food to fill the entire venue with fragrance!"

Other judges also added: "He's a very powerful guy. It seems we can look forward to it."

The attention on Hisako remained unabated at the scene, and Erina focused her attention even more on Hisako. As the person closest to her, Erina was also the person closest to her. At least in her opinion, with her strength, it would not be difficult for her to advance to this autumn selection.

As for what kind of food Hisako will prepare, Erina also expressed her great anticipation. After all, she had been hiding it before the competition started.

At the same time, the entire stage was already filled with discussions:

"Hisako is also a very powerful girl. What kind of dishes will she use?"

“It must be a super luxurious dish.”

"Well, after all, this is the only way to avoid embarrassing Erina-sama."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Feishazi simply opened her dish with her hands, but...it might be a little different from what everyone expected. This dish was not very luxurious, and in the eyes of the judges, it was full of many shortcomings.

"The sauce wasn't thickened much, and it was very watery."

"Is it curry soup? But this meat is mutton, right? Although they are both called mutton, the meat of a sheep that has just turned one year old must be more fishy than the meat of a newborn lamb. If you want to process this kind of mutton..."

The judge picked up a spoon and gently moved the mutton, and the spices in it soon appeared. However, it was too fantastic to expect that the fishy smell of the mutton could be removed by just these spices.

Anyway, judging from the appearance, this dish is definitely not top-notch.

but...

Hoshino Ai: "Let's try it first!"

After showing a lovely smile, the other judges' barriers were immediately eliminated. After all, as a judge, you still have to eat the food before making your evaluation, so...

I saw a judge with not much hair took the spoon first and gently put the food into his throat...

"cough cough..."

"Teacher Anton, what's wrong with you?"

It seemed that he could no longer hear the calls of the other judges. The judge named Anton grew hundreds of hairs in an instant. His hairline, which was so fine that it was impossible to see it with the naked eye, actually moved forward a lot at this moment.

Hachiman: "Hey, this is not a dish at all, this is like the living Hua Tuo."

The other judges were also completely frightened by this scene. After all, Mr. Anton was usually timid and muttered something, but at this moment he was like a dead tree growing into a towering tree. Although they had no idea what was going on, what was the difference between this and taking Viagra-brand drugs...

"This unique aroma...is indeed a dish that combines medicinal food and the spices of curry."

Hachiman's words quickly enlightened everyone around him. This seemingly strange dish, from a certain perspective, was simply a pile of medicines and spices.

Anton judges:

"It is a Chinese herbal medicine dish made from a mixture of four plants: Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, Rehmannia root, and Paeonia lactiflora."

“Four Substances Soup...”

When Hoshino Ai heard about the so-called Siwu Soup, her eyes lit up instantly. Although she was not a professional judge, she had heard of the legend of Siwu Soup from somewhere.

Hoshino Ai: "That was a magical drug that once brought a dying traveler back to his senses."

After Hoshino Ai said this, the other judges finally reacted:

"I see. She was boiling spices at that time, so that's why there was that amazing medicinal smell."

Needless to say, at this time, the taste of the food and the effect of the medicinal food are combined together, and the actual effect given can already reflect the score.

Seeing that the judges were too busy to comment, Erina, who was standing in the VIP room, smiled indifferently:

"Well done, Feishazi..."

"Based on Oriental medicine, we use boiled herbs and Chinese medicine to maintain health through food. We need to learn how to combine food and medicine, and that is medicated cuisine."

Hachiman looked solemnly at the simple dish made by Hisako. It seemed like such a simple dish, but the effort required was definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
