Love comes after eating halberds

This is also the reason why she has been working hard, not only to defeat Hoshino Sora and reach the top of Totsuki, but also to occupy a certain active position in this relationship.

Her understanding of love is very shallow. Whoever is strong is the active one, and whoever is weak is the passive one.

If Hoshino Sora knew her thoughts, she would definitely laugh out loud. After all, he prefers to be passive rather than active, such as being stepped on in the face by a beautiful girl wearing stockings with a look of disgust.

Of course, he would definitely not discuss such private matters in detail with Yumeko Snake Ghoul, who had not yet become his harem, so it was natural for him to be misunderstood.

In the afternoon, four o'clock, between moon and day.

"Awaited!"

"The Shokugeki Management Bureau has stated that it recognizes this special Shokugeki! And the one who serves as the master of ceremonies is me, a first-year high school student, no, Rei Kawashima, who should be considered a second-year student now!"

"Super cute Xiaoli!"

"Hello everyone!"

A cute-looking girl spoke vigorously on the stage, and the audience wearing cheering headscarves immediately waved their cheering sticks vigorously, with great momentum.

The girl behind them had a gloomy expression.

"Then please both parties enter from their respective entrances!"

Seeing the heated atmosphere at the scene, Kawashima Rei nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the microphone and bowed down, then stood up suddenly and spoke with great momentum.

"The first one to enter is~"

"The first seat of the Totsuki Ten Heroes! Mr. Hoshino Sora, who is known as the traditional defender!"

The scene was densely packed with people, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two cooking tables in the center between the moon and the sky, with bright lights, and finally gathered in the passage on the right.

"Eh..." Looking at the figure walking out of the passage, Rei Kawashima showed a little surprise on his face.

Logically speaking, in the battle between Yuetian and Shouki, the two players should enter the arena separately, one on the left and the other on the right, and finally form a rivalry.

However, under Hoshino Sora's strong request, Yumeko Snake finally gave in, holding his hand with a reddish face and entering from the same direction as him.

Their actions undoubtedly aroused cries of surprise at the scene. Everyone in the audience didn't know what happened, causing the two people who were supposed to be on opposite sides to stand together in close proximity.

"What's going on? Isn't this a Shokuge duel? Isn't Shokuge a place to resolve disputes? Why do the two of them look so close!"

"That is to say, weird. Logically speaking, even if they are not tit-for-tat, they shouldn't get along so harmoniously. There must be something fishy here."

"And they are holding hands, these two must have an affair! Female intuition tells me so, but this guy may have too many girlfriends, Erina-sama, Alice-sama, Mito, Shiina... "

"I'm so envious! The women next to him in the first seat are more beautiful than the last. The most important thing is that they are all very good at cooking. I really don't know how he can impress so many girls."

The audience below was talking a lot, and Rei Kawashima on the stage picked up the microphone: "Ahem, it seems that the sixth seat of our top ten can't wait. I think this will be a fierce battle!"

The voice gradually changed from awkward to passionate, and finally turned the embarrassing atmosphere back into passion. It has to be said that Kawashima Rei's emotional self-control ability is really awesome.

"Then get ready to start."

Wandering to the cooking table, looking at the many ingredients prepared in advance on his own cooking table, Hoshino looked at Yumeko Snake Gho indifferently, and then spoke calmly.

"Ok!"

When they came to their cooking table, Yumeko Snake Gho's fighting spirit was very high, and there seemed to be unknown little flames burning in her eyes, but neither of them moved. They were waiting, waiting for Rei Kawashima's order.

Although the two of them didn't need to care about that guy in their current status, this was a Shogun after all, and it was good to have a sense of ceremony, so they didn't move until they got the order to start.

"Then the cooking theme is "Duck" and the time is two hours. Now the competition begins! "

Looking at the two people who were already getting ready to go, Kawashima Rei understood that these two people were trying to give her face, so she immediately stopped hesitating and announced the start of the game sternly.

"Wow! It finally started."

"I'm already starting to get excited!"

"This is Shijie's Shoji! Can I really watch it without paying for it?!"

The audience was full of excitement, and everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the stage, among which there were many familiar figures of Sora Hoshino.

In the second seat of the Ten Elites, Si Yingshi stood on the high platform and stared at Hoshino Sora's cooking table.

"What's wrong, Si? You actually came to watch your junior's game. This is not your style."

"Ah, Ryoden, I'm just curious about Hoshino. After all, he defeated our man."

"Tsk, I don't think that's your true strength. It was Nakiri Thistle who asked you to do that."

Looking at Si Yingshi next to him, there was no wave in the young man's eyes. He did not deny what Kobayashi Rgentan said and maintained a completely silent attitude.

"It seems I guessed right. No wonder you suddenly proposed to challenge me with beef Wellington."

"Rentan, you think too much. It's because our skills are inferior to others."

Shaking his head, Si Yingshi did not directly answer Xiaobayashi Gentian's inquiry, but spoke in a vague tone.

"If this kind of competition happens again, will you still stand by me, Rendan?"

"What are you talking about? We are close friends with a deep bond! How could we leave you alone?"

After hearing Si Yingshi's somewhat unclear questions, Kobayashi Ringtong immediately put his arm around his shoulders and said, with a bit of worry in his eyes.

"While the two contestants are competing, let me introduce to you the judges of this competition."

On the other side, looking at Sora Hoshino and Yumeko Snake Ghoul, who were moving almost at the same time, Rei Kawashima took the microphone and introduced passionately.

"The two on the far left and the far right are the current CEOs of "HUB Foods", the leader in the curry industry, and are cousins ​​of the Queen of Curry!"

"I'm really looking forward to Hoshino-kun's cooking!"

"Sister, you look like a slut like this."

"The person sitting in the middle is the first-class executive officer from WGO, Your Excellency An!"

After the introduction, the audience was in an uproar again, because these are very famous heavyweight characters, existences they usually need to look up to, but they didn't expect that they would actually come to the scene because of a no-stakes shokuji! ?

"Don't let me down, first seat."

Looking at Hoshino Sora, who was on the left side of the cooking table, slowly processing duck hearts, An's face showed some anticipation. She rushed over after hearing about his competition.

Top-notch dishes made by the top ten heroes, this is a temptation she can't refuse!

Moreover, his opponent is also very capable. What kind of dishes can the sixth seat of the Ten Elites serve? !

Worth looking forward to it!

Chapter 2 Holding Yumeko in her arms and recognizing the reality

"Xiao Hui, who do you think will win?"

In a corner of the auditorium, looking at the two people who were eating halberds, Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but touched Tadokoro next to her with her elbow, and at the same time leaned her head over, her words full of curiosity.

"Hoshino-kun."

Without hesitating for a second, Tazoe directly said Hoshino Sora's name, her voice was so sure that all the next words of Shiina Mahiru were stuck in her throat.

"I also think Kong-kun will win. There is no special reason. I just have confidence in him."

Nakiri Alice also supported Tadokoro, saying that Hoshino Sora's strength was obvious to all. Although Yumeko Snake Gho worked hard, she was still far behind Hoshino Sora.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this.

"I always feel like you are setting up some ominous flag."

On the ring, Hoshino Sora was highly concentrated, looking at Ya Xin in front of him, with sharp knife skills in his hands.

Under the teachings of Master Mao Jinyu, knife skills must follow the ingredients. Each ingredient is an independent individual, with different sizes and shapes, and the resulting cutting points are also different.

If it is an ordinary chef, they will not care about the processing of these knife edges, and they have no ability to care. For them, they only need to process the ingredients according to the specifications to be successful.

However, although the food produced in this way is not bad in taste, only by polishing all the details in place can it be possible to produce top-notch golden food.

Hoshino Sora knows this very well. This dish is something he has been studying for a long time. He started making it when he opened the restaurant before coming to Totsuki, but at that time, his level could only reach Silver (lower level).

Looking at the delicious duck heart in front of you, the first step is to cut off the fat part and heart tube of the duck heart, then cut it from the middle, flatten it, and then use a flat knife and a folding knife to cut it, like this The cooked duck heart is delicious and tender.

After all the duck hearts are processed, prepare the toppings. Cut the green onions into shreds and cut the coriander into coriander segments.

One and a half spoonfuls of soy sauce, half a spoonful of umami juice, some sesame oil, sugar and pepper and mix well, so that the flavor of the marinade will be rich enough!

"not enough..."

After tasting a little bit of the sauce with his tongue, the experienced chef Hoshino immediately noticed something was wrong. The flavor of the sauce was rich but still not thorough enough.

Thinking of this, Hoshino Sora thought for a moment, fried some scallion oil and poured it into it, stirred it, and then dipped his fingers into the sauce to taste the flavor.

"It's still not enough. Yes, there is also wine. I haven't done it for so long that I forgot about this."

“The cooking wine tastes not mellow enough...”

"Try it with white wine... Tsk, the aftertaste is finally right!"

Talking to himself, he mixed the sauce, but after tasting it several times, he was not satisfied, and his brows were wrinkled again and again. It was not until the sauce-flavored white wine was added that the frowns relaxed.

“The taste is right, but there’s still something missing. The liquor is not strong enough.

The guy over there who looks like this, please bring me a higher-altitude Maotai-flavor liquor. "

Taste the sauce carefully with your tongue and make adjustments anytime and anywhere. Because he was busy being intimate with his wife during this period, Hoshino Sora did not have the time or energy to study the cooking.

Of course, he read the cookbook several times before cooking. He read every detail in it countless times until he knew it by heart before taking the stage.

He did this not entirely out of pride, but also because the competition was too long. Two hours was enough for him to keep trying and perfect the dish.

For example, now, less than an hour has passed since the sauce has been mixed and the duck heart has been marinated, and Yumeko Snake has just stewed the duck.

"Have you not tried it beforehand?"

Seeing Hoshino Sora, who had been marinating the duck heart for a long time, and had finished all the work, Yumeko Yumeko couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, with some strange emotions in her voice.

"I like the exciting feeling when studying cooking in the competition arena. Moreover, this is a dish that has been cooked by others. There are specific recipes, so it is not particularly difficult to reproduce it."

Hoshino Sora smiled and explained that he was already very talented in this area. As long as he decided on the dish to be made, he could copy it through the recipe in an hour or two.

"I'm really underestimated. I hope the taste of your food can satisfy me."

Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Yumeko Snake's face darkened, her voice was full of dissatisfaction, and she vowed in her heart that she would defeat him severely, and then let this guy sing "Conquer" to her at night!

"Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied."

In this regard, Hoshino Sora said very confidently, and then drained the sauce from the marinade bowl, took out the duck heart, heated the oil in the pot until it was [-]% hot, and then sauteed it until fragrant!

After putting it in the pot for a few seconds, quickly scoop it out with a slotted spoon, because it is easy to get old if it takes a long time, and it is easy to get old if the heat is low, so it is still very important to control the time and heat.

"call..."

Wait for the oil in the pan to heat up to [-]% again, and then put the duck hearts into it. This time the oil must be fried faster than the previous time, and the technique must be more decisive!

After this, there was a third oil explosion, and the oil temperature continued to rise from [-]% to [-]%. At this time, the iron pot was very dangerous. A slight mishandling would cause a fire in the pot.

And this is the final step that sets the duck's heart on fire.

I saw Hoshino Sora moving quickly, quickly putting the duck heart into the pot and lifting it up. The whole process was timed very well, ensuring that the skin of the duck heart was caramelized and tender on the inside.

Moreover, the three times of frying and cooling allows all the flavor of the duck heart to be locked in the inner core without losing the crispiness on the outside. This is the very famous Huo Liao Duck Heart!An innovative dish developed by a Chinese chef!

"Please taste."

Light the tinder paper under the plate and let the flames burn around the plate. The sense of ceremony reaches its peak at this moment, and everyone's eyes are focused on the small dish in front of them.

"It feels so simple, I can do it even if I do it."

"Come on, this is obviously an innovative dish. You wouldn't be able to come up with such a dish."

"Gan, who are you looking down on? I'm sure I can do it too!"

"You're laughing so hard, who can't have a good time? If you have the ability, go up and challenge for the first seat. I heard that you don't have to pay any price to have a halberd with him."

"Really or not? There is such a thing. Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?"

"Who knows, maybe this is the confidence brought by strength."

As the dishes were finished, the audience below began to talk.

The judges on the stage had subtle expressions on their faces when they saw such a simple dish, but because they all believed in Hoshino Sora's cooking skills, they didn't comment until they tasted the taste.

"It's caramelized on the outside and soft on the inside. The heat control of this dish is really good."

"The flower pattern is also very beautiful. It looks like a scallop with a delicate texture. It has a smoky aroma, but I don't know the most important taste..."

While talking, the three judges put the food into their mouths in unison. The next moment, their bodies that were still under control began to twist uncontrollably, as if they had climbed onto something.

Her cheeks also changed from fair to extremely crimson.
