Love comes after eating halberds

Crossing her beautiful black stocking legs, subtly covering the sacred realm, looking at the judges who were completely conquered by Kurokiba Ryo's bowl of soup, Nakiri Erina murmured to herself, to be honest, that guy's strength is very powerful!

"It's interesting. I really want to try that bowl of soup. It should be very delicious."

He held his chin and swallowed while looking at the French fish soup Kobayashi Ringtong underneath. His stomach immediately growled. Counting the time, it was almost time to have lunch.

"You've been waiting for a long time, fresh fish and sheep, welcome to try!"

The white color reveals a hint of golden color. Compared to the strong and aggressive French fish soup, Hoshino Sora's bowl of soup smells relatively bland, with a long-lasting fragrance.

This taste seemed to tell them that they could eat it without worrying about the impact, but when they actually took it into their hands, the rich texture still made them swallow their saliva.

"This is..."

"The mutton is stewed in fish soup, so that the fresh aroma of the two is perfectly mixed. It combines the flavors of the land and the sea, the two gourmet worlds. The aroma is elegant and clear, which is completely different from Kurokiba's. Gudu."

As he spoke, Yamashita Nobuyuki swallowed. The seemingly bland soup actually hid a mystery. The rich umami flavor made his hands move uncontrollably.

"Fish and sheep are fresh, they are really fresh. Fish and sheep combined in Chinese characters are the word "fresh". How fresh can this bowl of soup be?"

Everyone at the scene gulped when they saw the fresh fish and sheep being put on the big screen. The plain fragrance was not strong, but it could arouse everyone's greed with great accuracy.

"No, I can't take it anymore!"

Looking at the milky white soup with a hint of golden light in front of her, Qing Jirian couldn't control herself again. She picked up the soup and drank it. She originally thought she would receive a strong shock.

However, even though I had eaten all the soup, my body had no strange reaction.

"Eh..."

Just when Qing Jirian was confused, a rich umami taste mixed with an unprecedented feeling exploded in her mouth!

----------

Chapter 23 Narrow Victory

"thump..."

"thump."

"thump!"

As the umami taste emerged, Qing Jilian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her eyes widened slightly. The umami taste exploded from the depths of her mouth like a bomb, bursting out with an extremely rich fish and mutton flavor.

"What is this? The fragrant aftermath!"

With disbelief in her eyes, the strong aroma began to invade her body from the inside, as if in retaliation for her gulping down the bowl of soup.

"Lard? No, did you add suet in it!?"

"Yes, I added mutton oil when frying crucian carp. It can make the color of the soup white."

Hoshino Sora explained softly that the reason why lard is not used is mainly because it is worried about the taste. Yuyangxian, as the name suggests, uses the flavors of fish and sheep to form the word "fresh".

All the flavors are concentrated in this bowl.

Looking at Qing Ji Lian who was holding the table in front of her with an expression that looked like she was greatly shocked, the corners of Hoshino Sora's mouth raised slightly, and the other party's reaction was as he expected.

Under the stage, although Alice Nakiri didn't drink the soup, she still rubbed her legs. What happened last night came to her mind, and her face turned rosy.

The power of that bowl of soup was far more than what the female judge on the stage showed.

This is just the first reprise!

"This feeling, this feeling is like being attacked by two people from above and below at the same time. A strong sense of betrayal sweeps through the whole body. It's a bit too exciting! Ah!"

Her toes were slightly clasped on the ground, her thighs were tense, and her breathing changed from slow to rapid. The powerful impact was completely unbearable for Qing Jirian, and her voice was so loud that all the male audience members blushed.

Seeing this, Nobuyuki Yamashita immediately distanced himself from him. He looked down at the soup in front of him. His low-eyed longing broke through the ordinary. He picked up the soup, first tested it, and then took two sips...

"So fast."

When he came back to his senses, the soup had already bottomed out. Nishikami Takashi's words were filled with disbelief. He turned to look at Nobuyuki Yamashita aside and found that the other party was also looking at him.

The two of them have one thing in common, that is, the bowls in their hands are all empty, but their bodies have not changed much, as if they drank a bowl of boiled water.

No wonder!

Such thoughts had just emerged, but the trembling on the tip of his tongue made him realize that things were not that simple. The rich fragrance started from the tip of his tongue and then spread to his body, all his limbs...

"This feeling is like a nose that has been blocked for 100 years suddenly becomes clear, the fresh fragrance reaches the sky, and the consciousness becomes exceptionally clear at this moment."

Yamashita Nobuyuki talked endlessly, with strong excitement in his eyes. If he had had a bowl of this fresh soup every day during his high school years, he would not have failed to enter college and been forced to inherit the seafood market at home. .

"This mutton tastes great! It's super tender and feels like it melts just by licking it with your tongue."

After finishing the soup, there were still three or two pieces of mutton left in the bowl, which also exuded a strong aroma. Qing Jilian, who had calmed down a little after drinking the soup, was the first to taste it.

The extremely tender texture makes people doubt that it is not mutton at all, but the taste is indeed mutton. It is fat but not greasy, and has a rich aroma. It does not have any smell but has a hint of fresh crucian carp.

"It seems that the cooking of both contestants has been highly praised by the examiners."

"So, who will win this game?!"

As Rei Kawashima spoke, the microphone was pointed at the three examiners at the judges' table. Their faces were projected on the tallest big screen, and everyone at the scene focused their attention on them.

At this time, they were having a heated discussion.

"Bang! Is it so difficult to determine which of our dishes is good and who is bad?!"

After about 5 minutes, Kurokiba Ryo, who couldn't wait any longer, strode up to the judges, smashed his hands on the table and stared at the three of them with a strong momentum.

"I'm very sorry, our level is limited, and the two dishes are completely different styles, so..."

"Don't make excuses for your incompetence!"

Hearing Nishikami Takashi's words of rejection, Kurokiba Ryo was a little angry and glared at the three judges in front of him. The atmosphere was tense for a while.

"Let me try your soup."

"I'll try yours too!"

Upon seeing this, Hoshino Sora immediately stepped forward to relieve the siege. Kurokiba Ryo immediately returned, looking at the pot of soup that exuded a faint golden light, and raised the pot to drink boldly.

Hoshino Sora also came to Kurokiba's cooking at this time, but instead of raising a pot to drink, he took out a small bowl because this thing looked quite greasy...

It should be good for making noodles, but drinking it directly feels a bit boring. It tastes extremely fresh in the mouth, with a lot of crayfish and sweet shrimp shells added in. The aftertaste is the umami flavor of various fish, which has a strong impact.

Looking at the soup in his hand with only a mouthful left, Hoshino Sora looked at Kurokiba Ryo, who also slowly took off his turban at this time, and at the same time noticed the soup left in his bowl.

"Let's call this one a draw."

Hoshino Sora's voice is dull. In terms of impact, this bowl of soup is stronger than him, but in terms of umami, he is even better. It can be said that both have their own advantages, and the level of processing of ingredients is not much different.

[Analysis of cuisine]: Bright red French fish soup

[Quality]: Silver (medium)

[Analysis 41%]: Cooking raw materials shrimp brains, fish offal, lobster shells, sweet shrimp shells...

Shirogane (medium), he is on par with him in terms of level. Although Hoshino Sora thinks that his cooking is better, this sentence is obviously not suitable to be said from his mouth.

"If you lose, you lose, if you win, you win. Cooking duels never end in a tie. I lost this match. When is the next match?!"

As a chef, it is undoubtedly a great shame that the food is not finished by the diners. No matter what the result is, Kurokiba Ryo feels a deep sense of frustration at this moment.

However, he was not depressed for long. After a few minutes, he looked at Hoshino Sora with renewed fighting spirit in his eyes. The aftertaste of fish and mutton was raging in his mouth. It looked like a very mild and ordinary soup, but there was such a mystery hidden inside.

He grabbed the turban that was taken off in front of him, but the transformation state was not released. His body was still full of blood, and his fists were full of power. In his current state, there would be no problem even if he competed again immediately!

"So, since Kurokiba-san gave up, the winner of this Shokugeki is? Hoshino Sora!"

Mission Completed: Fame Grows

Task description: You accepted the challenge from Kurokiba Ryo at the Dessert Research Club. One month later, you will have a competition between the stars and the sky. By then, there will be a lot of people looking at your jokes.

Mission reward: 2000 reputation points (you can get the remaining reward of 1000 reputation points after completing the declaration)

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so don't worry about it for a while. The same goes for the people sitting below. I believe many of them want to see my jokes. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I am saying this to everyone present. I accept anyone’s challenge, but please bring a proven record before challenging it. As I said at the opening ceremony, the vast majority of you will win consecutively. I don’t even have the qualifications for a stepping stone! "

As Kurokiba Ryo surrendered, a system notification sounded in Hoshino Sora's mind. His mission was completed, but only half of it. Faced with the temptation of 1000 reputation points, Hoshino Sora decisively raised the volume.

"Damn bastard!"

"Who do you think is not even worthy of being a stepping stone?"

"It's just a lucky win, don't be too arrogant!"

Sure enough, after he finished saying this, the audience below instantly showed angry expressions. For a moment, all kinds of things were thrown from the audience, and he even saw lace fat pieces flying in the air.

What a heroine!

After escaping all the attacks, Hoshino Sora thought with a slight twitch in his mouth, and then the reminder sound of the remaining rewards and the new mission sounded in his mind.

Trigger mission: Trial of the Brave

Mission description: You defeated Ryo Kurokiba in the Starry Sky and made an arrogant declaration. Next, you have to accept everyone's challenge. Each battle provides different rewards based on the size of your influence.

Isn't this an artifact for completing quests?As long as you don't lose, you can gain unlimited reputation, and since he has also attracted a wave of hatred here, there will definitely be more challengers in the future.

"Hoshino-kun..."

Seeing Hoshino Sora being treated with hostility and abuse by everyone on the ring, Tadokoro became even more nervous as she began to eat herringbone. Although the other party did not have deep communication with her, he was the benefactor who saved her and kept her from dropping out of school.

"What an arrogant newcomer. He is even more outrageous than what Chuangzhen said. No wonder so many people are paying attention to him."

As Ryoko Sakaki spoke, she looked at Soma Yukihira, who was sitting next to her. At this time, the other person's face was full of eagerness, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, obviously wanting to compete with the guy on the stage.

"It's really hot-blooded."

There was a bit of emotion in the words, young people should be motivated, but Ryoko Sakaki who said this obviously forgot that she was also the same age as them.

"Did you win? After staying here for a month, you still dare to say such arrogant words. I really don't know how high the sky is!"

Hearing Hoshino Sora's speech, Nakiri Erina clenched her fists slightly. Totsuki was her pride. Although most people could not see her, this did not prevent her from taking Totsuki as her pride.

However, it only took one month to grow to this point?What a terrible man!

Nakiri Erina will never forget the first time the other party served her a dish, a braised pig's trotter. It was not an ideal dish in terms of heat, taste or quality.

It's even cold...

But in just two months, Hoshino Sora had come up with an egg dish that was acceptable to her tongue, and now she had defeated a strong person recognized by her.

However, no matter how much Hoshino Sora improves, it is impossible to surpass her!She will only progress at a faster speed, and then defeat him with absolute strength!

"What a wonderful game, Xiao Kong really dares to say that, does he treat us all as stepping stones?"

Glancing at Erina Nakiri who bowed to her and then left, Ritsou Kobayashi looked at Hoshino Sora with a smile on his face, and then turned to look at Akanekubo Momo, who also looked at her at this time, and then The two stood up and left the special viewing area together.

"You really do say things that offend people."

Looking at Hoshino Sora slowly walking down the ring, Nakiri Alice complained speechlessly. This guy is really stubborn. Forget about the opening ceremony, now he dares to say it in front of three top ten. Such words.

"Only by bravely accepting all challenges can you become stronger. Being timid is not my style. Please give me your guidance in the next year, maid Alice-chan~"

Hoshino Sora said with a smile, then pinched his soft cheeks and walked away from the contestants channel amid a chorus of badmouthing.

Nakiri Alice took a deep look at Kurokiba Ryo on the stage, but found that the opponent's attention was not on her at all. She could only sigh softly and trotted after her.

"I must win the next competition!"

Clenching his fists and looking up at the two people who had left, especially the back of Alice Nakiri, Kurokiba Ryo secretly made up his mind. He originally thought that he could rescue the young lady after this competition, but he didn't expect that he would also lose. .

Although they lost by a very small margin, a loss is a loss, and there is nothing to explain.

What we should consider now is how to fight again?Becoming a top ten?Then use the identity of the top ten heroes to fight against them.

This seems to be the method that best satisfies Hoshino Sora's statement.

Become one of the top ten and challenge Sora Hoshino with this most impressive record!

Thinking of this, Kurokiba Ryo ignited his fighting spirit again, then turned around and walked away towards the competition passage where he came from. His breathing was a little heavy. He wanted to practice in seclusion!

As the two main players left, the audience dispersed one after another. It was lively when they arrived, but desolate when they left. The scene returned to silence within 10 minutes.

Until the last person to leave turns off the lights.

On the way to Nakiri Alice's house, the other party never spoke, looking very worried. Hoshino Sora didn't speak either, just silently guarding her side.
