Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Having said that, Hachiman does not intend to give up his promotion spot easily.

Since the other party has already started the final work, there is no need to hide it anymore. Take out the rice that has been prepared long ago from the stove. However, if you look carefully, you will find that the rice has not been processed at all. It is just mixed with rice bran. Hachiman does not seem to intend to do any processing, but puts it directly into the pot.

Then...the soy milk cooked from soybeans directly served as a seasoning, bathing the rice bran in it.

No...not right!

Ryoko: "What the hell is that?!"

Yoshino: "Why does this smell so strange? Where did Hikigaya learn this trick?"

Alice: "It's amino acids..."

Mito: "Can you take care of someone who doesn't know chemistry..."

Takumi: "Yogurt...huh?"

After hearing what Takumi said, everyone seemed to react instantly. The blue-white liquid that could make rice bran so sticky almost melted all the ingredients instantly.

Kurokiba: "What are you doing? Are you going to make some dark cuisine?"

Hachiman: "If the awakening of blood can arouse my interest in this area, I will have a chance to try it."

Listening to Hachiman's words, everyone in Polar Star Dormitory felt their bodies tremble uncontrollably, especially Marui. Ever since he had eaten Shiroichiro's dark cuisine last time, he still has some psychological trauma that cannot be eliminated.

At the same time, Feishazi, who was in the VIP room, frowned, because he really couldn't understand this strange formula, so... he was a little speechless.

Erina held her chest in annoyance, and even her breathing became a little anxious: "I really don't know where this guy gets so many tricks...Other people's dishes are all reasonably improved according to traditional dishes, but this guy...Every time he changes it, it becomes completely different."

Hisako: "Erina-sama... can't you tell what he's going to cook?"

Erina: "Huh? How... How can I not understand what kind of food he is going to make? I can tell this kind of folk food with just one...one glance."

Hisako: "So that's how it is, Lady Erina is really amazing..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Erina felt a little regretful. Not to mention that she really couldn't understand what Hikigaya was going to do, the most important thing was that she had deceived Hisako who had always been following her. She always felt a little guilty in her heart.

Erina: "Um, Hisako..."

Hisako: "Don't explain, Erina-sama. I understand everything. You are a genius! How is it possible that you can't understand this kind of cooking?"

There was no way to save the situation. Erina turned her head away with an embarrassed look on her face, but even her eyes began to become confused.

"Hikigaya, what are you doing..."

The combination of yogurt and rice bran soon gave off a unique and rich aroma in the venue. Although the combination was strange, the effect was unexpectedly good.

On the other hand, soy milk obviously has other uses.

However, while Hachiman was still cooking, Kurokiba had already finished his work and simply served it to the judges.

Okamoto: "Not bad, not bad. You can clearly see that the food in the bag is still gurgling and jumping, which invisibly tells you how hot the food is."

Ryoko: "It looks great, but are we going to let the judges open it like this?"

It seemed like he had asked the question on all the audience's minds, and Yoshino shook his head in confusion.

As an experienced judge, Anton seemed to have found the way to open the bag in an instant after seeing it. He didn't need Kurokiba's instructions at all and just pulled the bag open.

However, at this moment, the scent from the deep sea suddenly surged up. Whether it was shrimps, clams, scallops or saury, this raging fragrance instantly engulfed all the judges present, and they even smiled without realizing it.

Ye Shanliang: "This guy's progress is really scary."

Ye Shanliang, who was most sensitive to scents, quickly smelled the fragrance contained in the bag. Relying on the spices he had learned during this period, he quickly put them into practice. In just a moment, the entire venue was completely filled with the fragrance.

What is different from Ye Shanliang's spices is that this spice has a stronger impact. It abandons the compatibility of the individual ingredients and simply brings out the most terrifying smell that stimulates the brain.

Hachiman: "Is that the reason? No wonder they use a heat-resistant film. If it's grilled... it can really reach this level..."

Kurokiba: "No... This is not just a simple grilled dish. With my improvement, the name of this dish has also changed. It is now grilled!"

"【Grilled Autumn Saury】!"

Like explosives, the moment the heat-resistant film was removed, the whole place exploded instantly, and it was probably that delicious ignition device that caused all this.

Judge Anton: "It's so fresh. As expected of a kid who has always lived by the sea, his mastery of seafood is simply unimaginable. The fat of the saury seems to melt everything. It is too sweet but not greasy. The combination of various ingredients does not dilute the taste of the saury itself at all. It's amazing!"

Okamoto: "Extremely fresh seafood, full of delicious flavor. No matter how many times I have tasted it, it is incredible that such a bold dish can be forcibly wrapped in the moment the fish enters my mouth... How rough, yet how delicate."

"Although it is in season, it does not use any seasonings, but it still has such a rich fragrance, no... aroma."

Yukinoshita: "Vanilla?"

Hachiman: "Yes, Vanilla."

Kurokiba laughed coldly, "When I was researching spices, I found a spice that can perfectly blend in with saury. Although vanilla is definitely not the best solution, as long as it is put in while wrapping, the horrible fragrance of the vanilla itself can continue to circulate in a limited space. Then, during the heating process, it can force out this incomparable flavor."

Okamoto: "It's a feast of saury. This dish is already the best so far. I can't even imagine how much effort went into it."

The other judges also shook their heads, obviously feeling sad for Hikigaya who would be next. Facing such food, there was probably no hope of winning.

After all, in their opinion, Hikigaya's condition today was not very good. Even though he faced a relatively weaker opponent, Ibusaki, he still lost unexpectedly. So... with Kurokiba so well prepared and performing so horribly, there was simply no chance of him winning.

At the same time, Kurokiba also showed a cold smile, and just brought his food in front of Hachiman, and said with a condescending expression:

"Hey, come and try it, and then tell me for yourself that my food isn't as delicious as yours!"

Hachiman: "What kind of weird play is this... But..."

Since the fish had been brought to him, Hachiman couldn't refuse and just put the fish into his mouth.

It was exactly what all the judges said. For Kurokiba, there was nothing to be picky about this dish. Whether it was the temperature, humidity, or roasting time, they were all done to perfection. However...

If you taste it yourself, the areas that need improvement are very obvious.

Hachiman was not in a hurry, after all, there was still half an hour left. He just stopped all the work in his hands and looked into Kurokiba's eyes.

"Hey, is he giving up?"

"Maybe after seeing the cooking of Kurokiba's contestant, he has given up on the drums."

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the Kuroki Field today is really terrifying."

"It seems that the contestant who advanced to the finals has appeared."

At this moment, Yukinoshita and Erina's gazes almost instantly stayed on Hachiman, and even their eyebrows frowned, while Alice sighed helplessly.

"Ryo-kun, you've tried very hard."

Kurokiba felt the other party's gaze and felt very uncomfortable for a moment:

"Ah? What do you want to do?"

Hachiman shook his hand and said calmly:

“Although Vanilla’s choice is smart, it’s not enough to become the strongest.”

"Are you picking a fight?"

"If you combine vanilla and butter, and then put it in the refrigerator with other spices to form an aroma bomb, and then go through what you call 'baking', I'm afraid the power will become even greater. However, chopped vanilla cannot do this. Even if it is gradually heated, it still doesn't have a strong flavor. As for onions and other suitable ingredients, you didn't use them at all."

"so..."

Hachiman turned his head again and just focused on his cooking.

Kurokiba: "You..."

Although I wanted to say something, but with just two sentences, I completely pointed out the shortcomings of his cooking and even the best way to improve it, so...

Speechless.

"What are you going to do?!"

When Kurokiba focused his attention on Hachiman's cooking, a strong aroma of rice instantly rushed into his nostrils. It was a sense of comfort that he had never experienced before, and it instantly calmed down his irritable mood after putting on the headscarf.

Kurokiba's calmness once again ignited the entire audience.

Alice: “What’s wrong?”

Erina: "What happened..."

Yukinoshita: "Is it about the food?"

Alice: "I've never seen Ryo-kun with that expression when he's wearing a turban. Even to me, it would be very disrespectful, but... is that true?"

Ryoko: "This is too worrying. Unlike the food at Kurokiba, we are so far away that we can't smell the food at all."

Yoshino: “Who knows…”

At this moment, Megumi Tadokoro and Ibusaki, who were also cooking, stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked over with surprise.

Kurokiba: "What is this... smell?"

Hachiman: "Well, it's just a bowl of porridge."

Kurokiba: "Porridge? Don't be ridiculous! That rich flavor, with those so-called millets, can break through the impact of my cooking?"

Generally speaking, although porridge dishes are mild, the impact is too weak. After Kurokiba came up with such dishes, porridge's disadvantage is even greater.

Ryo Hayama: "What a lunatic...Hikigaya Hachiman."

Shiomi Jun: "He's Shiroichiro's son... but he doesn't look like that at all. His cooking should be... much, much darker, but why... does he seem so gentle?"

The silence of the entire venue also gave Hikigaya Hachiman a stage.

He simply served his dish and, to the surprise of the judges, gently opened the lid.

From the outside, there is nothing special about him. Of course, this is also Hikigaya Hachiman's usual style. Therefore, as a judge from the preliminaries to now, this point seems insignificant to him.

What’s more important is...what kind of dish will this be under this appearance.

Hachiman: "I won't keep you in suspense this time. Just pour the ground soy milk in advance."

Although on the surface the moves Alice used in this duel seemed almost the same, there were also obvious differences.

The slightly sticky porridge base, combined with fermented yogurt, has already become a very special dish, and the soy milk added later once again adds a base color to the porridge base.

only...

Okamoto: “Eh? Isn’t the theme this time saury?”

Judge Anton: "I didn't see any saury at all..."

The other judges looked at each other, clearly confused:

"Would Hikigaya-san make such a stupid mistake? He even forgot the question."

At the same time, the entire audience was talking about it. Although it was common to be nervous in such a formal competition, forgetting the staple food was too terrible.

However, Yukinoshita had a calm expression. After all, she knew that although Hikigaya was sometimes unreliable in some ways, she had just made smoked saury, so... there would definitely be no problem.

Hachiman also said calmly: "No matter what, let's taste it first."

Judge: "In that case..."

He gently scooped up the porridge with a spoon, but at this moment he found that the porridge surface, which had been calm just now, seemed to solidify into something. To the surprise of the judges, he put the porridge into his mouth.

Okamoto: "I see! Everything is explained now!"

Anton: "Sweet soy milk, and yogurt with ground saury? I don't understand the principle at all, but... it tastes surprisingly delicious!"

Judges: "I have no idea how it was made...but I couldn't stop eating."

"This rich seafood flavor is obviously only made of saury, and the impact is obviously not enough to rival Kurokiba's work, but..."

"Is it really my fault that my heart is beating faster and I can't stop my hands?"

Under the gaze of the audience, the judges have already begun to devour Bikigaya Hachiman's food.

Chapter 96: Yukinoshita quits the game, Hikigaya is on the verge of despair

Okamoto: "Although the ingredients are complex, I can still taste a distinct flavor. Is this... miso?"

Anton: “And Parmesan cheese.”

The other judges also nodded: "I have to say, it is a bold idea to record these two ingredients on yogurt and soy milk respectively."

This kind of food requires extremely delicate techniques, because whether it is miso or Parmesan cheese, it needs to be cooked over a slow fire, and the most important essence of this dish...

As if she finally discovered something, Erina's eyes began to tremble uncontrollably, and her hands, which had been tightly clasped against her chest, had been lowered without her noticing when. As the owner of the "God's Tongue", when she discovered the problem, others still looked completely incomprehensible.
