Love comes after eating halberds

Clenching his fists slightly, looking at Feng Hyunya with a relaxed expression on her face as she moved skillfully on the field, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Hoshino Sora's heart...

----------

5:0, a crushing defeat.

"How is that possible? How can my cooking not be as good as this!?"

Looking at the score on the big screen in front of her, Alice Nakiri's face was full of disbelief. She looked at her grandfather not far away, as if she wanted to get the answer from his mouth.

"Alice, of course your food is also delicious, but it is still far behind Feng Hyuna's food.

You used the characteristics of molecular cuisine to create a lot of flavor changes and bring together various flavors into a piece of meat, which is of course also very good.

But when it comes to braised pork, the meaty flavor is the key. Feng Hyuna abandoned all spices that would conflict with the flavor of the meat. She wrapped the meat in gauze and placed it in an urn, then simmered it with large bones over fire, and then coated it with maltose to add flavor and color. Various methods are used to stimulate the meaty flavor of braised pork, making it truly fat but not greasy, melting in your mouth and full of meaty flavor. "

"grandfather."

When did you take off your clothes?

Nakiri Alice bit her lower lip slightly and clenched her fists tightly. She looked at Nakiri Senzaemon, who was holding his head with one hand after wearing clothes and looking at her lazily. Her heart was full of unwillingness.

She actually lost so hastily?We obviously agreed to meet again in the finals, but ended up losing in the first round?I am so unwilling, why does my nose feel so sore?

Lowering her head and biting her lower lip, Alice Nakiri held back tears.

"The winner of this competition! Feng Hyuna."

Taking a huge brush and splashing ink to write three big characters, Nakiri Alice also secretly left the scene during this process, and then looked at Hoshino Sora waiting for her in the aisle, and was speechless for a while.

"Your cooking is great. Let me try it next time."

Opening his arms and facing Alice Nakiri, who was silent with her head lowered, Hoshino Sora had thousands of words flashing through his mind, and finally said this with a gentle smile.

"Ok!"

Throwing herself into Sora Hoshino's arms, Alice Nakiri could no longer hold back her tears and cried like a child. As a proud girl of heaven, she was actually defeated by an unknown passerby.

And under the spotlight, being eliminated with a humiliating record of 5:0, just thinking about it makes me feel humiliated.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

"My dear, you are already great. Leave the rest to me. I will avenge you."

Touching Alice Nakiri's soft white hair and feeling the moisture on her chest, Hoshino Sora tried to soften his tone as much as possible. What the other party needed now was comfort.

And since Alice Nakiri is willing to seek comfort from him, it means that the other party regards him as the closest person, which makes Hoshino Sora feel a little flattered.

"Relax, it's just a game, just win it next time!"

Gently touching Alice Nakiri's head, he could see that the other party had tried her best, but she couldn't compare, and there was nothing to say.

"Sometimes I really envy you that you can cry like this anytime and anywhere, and you can enjoy such a warm embrace just by crying."

In the distance, looking at Alice Nakiri crying in Sora Hoshino's arms after her defeat, Erina Nakiri had envy in her eyes.

She was not surprised by Nakiri Alice's defeat. That opponent was able to tie with her, which showed how strong he was.

Although it was a year ago, students from both sides had a friendly battle in the basement between Yue Tian.

At Totsuki Academy, she was the only one who ended up in a draw with the geniuses sent by Huaxia Min Academy. Nito Hishako was defeated 3:0. There was also a genius who couldn't bear the blow after the 3:0 defeat and voluntarily dropped out of school, and later transferred to Institute of Foreign Cuisine.

This is Totsuki's secret, which no one knows except the top ten and the school's commander-in-chief. This is also the reason for the delayed start of spring training camp and summer school.

"This time, I will definitely defeat you completely! Let's go, Fei Shasha."

Looking at Feng Hyuna with a smile on her face at the competition venue, Erina Nakiri, who was standing in the audience, read softly, her words full of confidence.

Although the executive committee members of the Autumn Selection cannot participate in the game in person, it is okay to have a sincere friendly match after the opponent wins the championship.

Then, she will prove it to the world.

She, Nakiri Erina, is the strongest young cook in the world!

After finishing the conversation, Nakiri Erina left the competition venue, followed closely by Nito Hisako.

As the second game came to an end, the first day of the Autumn Selection also officially came to an end. People in the audience left the stage one after another, shouting that they had enjoyed watching it.

"It's really interesting, the cooking competition here in Neon.

Those old men would actually send juniors here. It seems that there is indeed a chance that the legendary kitchen utensils will appear here. "

His hands were covered with fine scars and he was wearing an old man's shirt and flip-flops. After watching the situation at the game, Lixin left the game venue with his hands in his pockets, his big eyes full of wisdom.

----------

Yaoriliao, night.

[Complete stage task ②]: Fight!Win the first battle!

[Mission Introduction]: The mission has been written very clearly. Only by winning the first battle will the next mission be unlocked. The reward for the final mission is very generous.

[Task Reward]: ①1000 reputation points

[Current reputation value]: 10300

Looking at the information released a few hours ago and looking at the reputation value of 10300, Hoshino opened the system mall.

[Heart of Cooking]: After a duel with an opponent, you can gain a certain understanding of cooking by tasting the opponent's cuisine. After accumulating enough understanding of cooking, your Heart of Cooking will evolve.

[Exchange Points]: 10000

With a little effort, his savings were emptied, and the reputation points he had worked hard to accumulate for two or three months disappeared the moment he pressed his finger. Then, Hoshino Sora suddenly felt dizzy.

[Remaining reputation value]: 300

Without even hearing the reminder sound in his mind, Hoshino sat down on the edge of the bed and immediately felt dizzy. He closed his eyes and calmed down. It took him a long time to recover.

"Is this the heart of a chef?"

After regaining consciousness, I reached out and touched my heart. I felt that there was no change. Could it be that eating food would cause changes?Or maybe there are other operating principles...

"Mahiru-chan, please help me make a midnight snack."

He quickly went downstairs to the kitchen, where Shiina Mahiru was still trying out new dishes. Seeing this, Hoshino Sora immediately patted her on the shoulder and said please.

"Ah good..."

----------

In the next few days, Hoshino Sora went to the Autumn Selection venue every day to watch the competition and analyze the characteristics of each player. The first round of selection lasted for four days, and the final winner was.

Hoshino Sora, Feng Hyuna, Yukihira Soma, Snake Gho Yumeko, Kurokiba Ryo, Hayama Ryo, Yanba, Lei Yuxing.

Four players from China made it three, and Hot Pot Pot, the square-faced boy, was easily defeated by Yumeko Snake Ghoul with a score of 5:0.

雷御行3:2险胜新户绯沙子，严巴对阵吉野悠姬，幸平创真4:1战胜塔克米，叶山亮5:0碾压田所惠，黑木场凉3:2击败美作昴。

The quarter-finals begin with the competition for the semi-finals.

On the first day of the match, Ryo Kurokiba played against Yanba, and Ryo Hayama played against Lei Yuxing.

Sitting in the auditorium in the center of the competition venue, next to Mahiru Shiina and Alice Nakiri, looking at the furious Kurokiba Ryo and the calm Yanba, they have completely different styles.

"Ryo-kun has grown a lot since then."

Looking at Kurokiba Ryo's fierce skills on the competition stage, Nakiri Alice had a complicated expression.

On the day they parted, she had not spoken to Kurokiba Ryo for a long time, and the other party had not taken the initiative to come to see him. The relationship between the two had become very stiff.

There's also a hint of...embarrassment.

My master went to work as a maid for someone else. No matter how you think about it, it doesn’t make sense, right?

Nakiri is ashamed of Alice, but Kurokiba Ryo is striving to win. He wants to win and then bring Alice back.

However, even if he does bring it back one day, Nakiri Alice will probably already be in the form of Hoshino Sora.

"The theme is "Shark's Fin", which happens to be the seafood dish that Kurokiba is good at. "

Looking at the theme written on the top screen, Hoshino Sora commented with emotion.

He couldn't tell which of the two people below would win. These people from China were too strong and were the top geniuses in their school. Even if they faced him, there was no guarantee of victory.

However, if it was Kurokiba, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Looking at Kurokiba Ryo, whose eyes were full of blood and who was cooking shark's fin with extremely sharp skills, Hoshino Sora held his breath. Compared with the fierce dragon crossing the river, the strength of the local snake should not be underestimated!

Chapter 11 Kurokiba wins, the showdown between the old and new protagonists

"Cat shark fin is also a shark fin. Compared with traditional shark fins, which take a long time to process, this type of shark fin takes a relatively short processing time, is easy to absorb, and has a soft and tender texture. It is also a good choice."

Looking at the lively catfish on the Kurokiba Ryo cooking table, Hoshino Sora pinched his chin and commented that when most people hear shark fin, the first thing they think of is definitely shark fin.

Kurokiba Ryo's ability to break out of this narrow circle of thinking and choose catfish fin at least proves that he is thinking.

Looking at Yanba, that guy is just a standard shark fin. Because it has no taste, it takes a lot of effort to cook and takes a long time, so it is not so easy to serve.

Game time is limited to three hours.

But to be honest, shark fins are not particularly delicious, but they are highly promoted. Due to the operation of capital, some people think that eating shark fins is a symbol of wealth.

As a result, shark's fin has become a graceful and luxurious presence in Neon's high-end dishes. There are also many dishes in China that use shark's fin as the main ingredient.

Among them is a dish of shark's fin in golden soup.

Rubbing his eyes, Yan Ba ​​breathed a long sigh of relief. After learning that the theme was shark fin, he was actually panicked because there were no ingredients for him to practice with.

He had no choice but to go to the supermarket to buy some vegetarian shark fins and practice in the assigned hotel. The shark fins on the day of the competition were fresh shark fins flown in and provided by Totsuki Academy.

Reaching out and gently stroking the shark's fin in front of him, Yan Ba ​​started his cooking. The so-called golden soup shark's fin is made from butter hen, pork keel, chicken feet, pork belly and duck fin. After finishing, add pumpkin juice to add flavor and color. ...

Finally, add the steamed squid wings.

The two contestants on the stage performed clean and neat movements. In order to get the freshest catfish fins, Kurokiba Ryo performed a wave of knife-cutting catfish for everyone present.

I saw him inserting the chopsticks into the fish head, raising the knife in his hand, and dividing the various parts of the catfish in more than ten seconds.

"It's amazing!"

Looking at the knife skills that can be called art, people in the audience couldn't help but sigh. The elegant knife skills seemed not to be detangling fish, but to be performing a wonderful artistic performance!

Time passed little by little, and the two contestants were cooking in full swing. The audience watched attentively, and Hoshino Sora also watched carefully, analyzing the strength of these two people.

"Both contestants are starting the finishing work now. Who can finish the cooking first? We will wait and see."

Rei Kawashima held the microphone and explained passionately, looking very excited. The battle in front of her made her blood boil.

Soon, the two people on the field completed the finishing work one after another. Yan Ba ​​finished the cooking first and served a bowl of shark fin in golden soup with a faint golden light.

"Please taste, ancient golden soup shark's fin."

With firm steps, Yan Ba ​​brought the golden soup shark's fin to the judges' table. Yan Ba ​​behaved like a gentleman, bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, and then stood aside.

"The color is really beautiful. Pumpkin juice is added to it. It is thick and fragrant. The delicacies of mountains and seas are concentrated in this bowl. It is indeed the cooking method of ancient shark fin soup."

Wrinkling his nose and looking at the golden shark fin soup in front of him, Nakiri Senzaemon commented with emotion that he had never tasted shark fin soup cooked in this way, but that was decades ago. .

I didn’t expect to see shark fin soup of this quality now.

I picked up the spoon with a little nostalgia and scooped up a spoonful of golden and thick shark fin soup. The rich umami flavor exploded in my mouth, like a long poem written for many years, making people feel its thickness.

Close your eyes and savor every flavor blooming on your tongue. Pork keel and butter hen form a thick and solid soup base. Chicken feet and duck wings are the most flavorful and delicious parts of chicken and duck. Add them to the soup. It played a finishing touch.

“The soup is thick and mellow, and the shark’s fin is crunchy and chewy. The combination of the two is truly a masterpiece!”

The golden soup shark's fin in front of Changji, all the judges had expressions of enjoyment on their faces, and Nakiri Senzaemon's clothes also burst into pieces, but that was all.

Even though it was an extremely delicious shark's fin soup, to him it was just a delicious dish. The degree of completion was quite high, but it was limited to that, and it did not make him feel happy.

Of course, if Kurokiba Ryo also fails to come up with a dish that impresses him, or a more delicious dish, the outcome of this game will be...

"Eat it quickly! Gobble it up! The taste will change when it gets cold!"

Placing one big bowl after another in front of the judges, Kurokiba Ryo bent down, urging with unspeakable courage in his voice, waiting for the judges to give him a satisfactory answer.

"This is... braised catfish fin with tagine sauce. I see, catfish fin is also a type of shark fin."

"But if that's all it is, this is just an ordinary plate of braised catfish shark's fin with sauce, nothing special."

"Well, the aroma is quite unique. It's subtly different from the ordinary braised catfish shark's fin in soy sauce. Is there shrimp paste stuffed into the shark's fin?"

There was no tasting. Several judges looked at the catfish fins in front of them and started talking about it. This was also the discussion they had to go through before tasting the food, and then the formal meal.

"Why have you been chirping all this time? Cooking something like this! You have to taste it to know how good it tastes. Eat it with your mouth, not with your eyes."

Seeing the judges in front of him who were noisy and noisy, and the dishes on the table that had been put on the table without any movement for a long time, Kurokiba Ryo couldn't bear it and slapped the table hard, and then stared at the judges in front of him with bloodshot eyes.
