Tokyo Sound

The mysterious hint tells me that now is the time to push the limit.

This is the only possibility.

Cross the limitation of 299% and move towards a more vast and rapid realm!

With a single thought, he overclocked past 299% and forcibly increased it to 307%, the highest peak he could currently reach.

What a wonderful feeling it was, from the spirit to the body, it was as if it had been cleansed, unprecedentedly clean and orderly. The senses were sublimated to a level that was gradually deviating from that of an ordinary person. The dust in the air, the trajectory of the swaying flames, the beating of the heartbeat... He even had the illusion that he could reach out and catch the passing time. A huge amount of information came like a tide, and with just a little thought, even the number of grains of flour adhering to the palm of his hand could be obtained as a vague number. The real I know, therefore I am.

Hee, hee, hee. With such power, how could he not make the most invincible dumplings? !

Yin Ze took a piece of dough and put the filling in it.

307%..300%..299%..192%...

Yin Ze's legs went limp and he leaned on the chopping board in silence.

The audience was all stunned. How could it be like a balloon, deflated when pricked?

Master Yin fell into the evil path and was eventually defeated by the consumption of overclocking. Unable to hold up his aura any longer, he turned around and washed a cucumber and started eating it.

"Senior?" Saori Ōnishi asked hesitantly.

"Cough cough cough!" Yin Ze seemed to be choked.

"Are you okay?" Risa Taneda brought some water over.

"I, I'm still a little hungry." Yin Ze said as he ate, "You guys make it first, I'll come help after I finish eating."

……

The second round of food battle is over, and both sides serve their food on their plates and send them to the judges.

"What a surprising duel," said Uezawa Chiaki first. "Then please let me taste the dishes of the Hidaka/Uchida team."

The dumplings presented here are restaurant-quality fried dumplings. They are delicately shaped, arranged in a circular pattern, and are shaped like flowers. By pouring corn starch slurry into the hot pan, the dumplings are more tender and juicy, and a crispy and charred shell is formed. With the green side dishes, it is completely commercial grade.

"This one uses rice flour on the skin, which adds a bit of stickiness to the crispy texture." Uezawa Chiaki took a bite and covered her mouth with a hissing breath due to the heat. "The sesame oil used also stimulates the aroma very well. In addition to the basic salty taste, the cabbage used as the filling also provides a subtle sweetness, making the taste richer. And even with the multiple mixtures, it still feels refreshing, which is incredible."

A plate of dumplings like this is worthy of being served to customers even in a battlefield like Utsunomiya where competition among dumpling shops is fierce.

"It's amazing that she can achieve this level in home cooking." Chiaki Uezawa sighed. As a single woman who also knows how to cook, she can't complain.

Hidaka Rina and Uchida Maaya bowed politely and shook hands. True masters.

"Then it's the seeded team." said Chiaki Uezawa.

After the professional assistant quasi-king turned back to eat the cucumber, all that was left for Risa Taneda and Saori Ohnishi to do was to make one or two more dumplings and cook them. Since they were not good at frying, they chose the most popular stewing method. Generally, Japanese restaurants would use very clear soup to cook, but obviously they did not have this condition at the moment.

What was presented was a plate of plain steamed dumplings and a small bowl of dipping sauce. Although the dumplings were not well wrapped, at least the filling did not show during the cooking process. It was just that after being cooked, the appearance was a little swollen, and it looked silly. Uezawa Chiaki picked up one, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and put it into her mouth. In stark contrast to the appearance, the taste was rich and delicate. No matter what, the inside was high-grade tuna, and although it was not the best way to eat it, the taste was still moving.

"This flavor is so well blended. The fillings are so delicately processed." Uezawa Chiaki was a little surprised. Although the seeded player was embarrassed for a while, as a water table cutter, it was really top-notch. "It tastes one way without dipping sauce, and another way with dipping sauce. This chili oil is simply the finishing touch, with just the right amount of stimulation. Rather than being spicy, it has more of an offensive fragrance, which whets people's appetite."

"It's actually okay?" Risa Taneda said happily.

"We are really too strong." Saori Ōnishi was convinced.

"It's really hard to choose. Just from the taste, each has its own merits." Uezawa Chiaki made a difficult decision. "In this case, we can only evaluate it from many aspects. Generally speaking, this plate of double rice flour sesame oil fried dumplings is more perfect, whether in color, aroma or taste. Therefore, the winner of the second round is the Hidaka/Uchida team."

"I'm sorry for the poor service!" Hidaka Rina and Uchida Maaya high-fived. Someone suddenly became murderous during the meeting, and they thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

"Ah, I really lost two rounds. Senior is so disappointing." Ōnishi Saori held her head.

"What a pity, what a pity." Risa Taneda also shook her head.

"…filling and taste, the only two scoring items were scored by me. Why are you disappointed?" Yin Ze complained while chewing a cucumber.

"Are their fried dumplings really that delicious?" Ohnishi Saori asked curiously. But she said this because she wanted someone to pick up the conversation and then everyone could go and eat together.

However, someone has skipped the polite stage and ran directly to the opponent's pot, starting to direct the winning group to cook dumplings for him.

"Eat seven first, then fry seven." Yin Ze needed to replenish his strength, rubbing his hands and said.

"I'll give it to you if you scream nicely." Hidaka Rina laughed.

"Don't say it once, even a hundred times will do." Yin Ze didn't mind at all.

"Which one do you think tastes better?" Uchida Maaya asked deliberately.

"Of course it's yours." Yin Ze said, "How can I compete for victory?"

Ohnishi Saori was furious. How come this lord didn't have the integrity to come to their aid temporarily?

"He really loves to surrender." Risa Taneda sighed.

……

In the auditorium.

"Haha, Brother Dong, do you have anything to say?" Tsuchiya Hongliang smiled and turned around.

"First of all, it can't be Big Brother's fault. This means that my tuna is not delicious enough and not high-quality enough." Takada Kenryo said in a deep voice, "Next time, I will go out to sea by boat myself and catch the best delicacies and present them as a gift."

"..." There is a fact that Tsuchiya Hiroaki doesn't want to admit, that is, his love for his elder brother is so great that he can't even resist it!

Chapter 31: Eating a Lot

The highly-anticipated seeded player fell in the semifinals. But fans were not surprised. Since his nickname was the invincible master, it was not surprising that he could perform any operation. He could kill the gods in the heavenly rankings or be wonderful in his own way. The process of pushing the big brother alone was like eating a box of chocolates. You never knew what the next piece would taste like, and that was also the fun.

In order to remove restrictions in the finals, there is no selection of themes, and everyone can express themselves freely. Matsuoka Yoshitsugu wanted his defeated good brother to join the team as an assistant, firstly to increase the chances of winning, and secondly to take revenge immediately. But some people surrendered many times during the game, and after the game, they had no desire to fight, and just wanted to eat and drink outside the court. Matsuoka Yoshitsugu failed to persuade his brother, but he noticed the look of Saori Ohnishi who was eager to join the team, and he was so scared that he dared not say anything more and hurried to prepare food.

Yin Ze felt relaxed now. He went back to the place where he had cooked the noodles before, processed the remaining tuna, fried it, and brought a portion to the person who provided the food in the audience. He couldn't just take the food for free in front of everyone.

Kenryo Takada held the seared tuna in his hands and felt surrounded by happiness, as if he was floating in the air.

"I'll transfer 1 yen to you and let me eat this dish," said Zhang Wei.

"No matter how much they offer, I will offer 1000 yen higher." Tomoma Sayaka made it clear.

"Brother Dong, we are friends in the same group. You should also remember the happy times we had playing keyboard games together." Urban Monster played the emotional card.

"Recently, I've been feeling low on energy and unable to do anything. I've thought about it and decided that Brother Dong should inherit the Zhongda camp." Tsuchiya Hongliang turned around and said in a friendly manner, "The second largest force in the single-pushing circle is now handed over to you. In my opinion, don't call me Brother Dong anymore, just call me King Dong."

Lietu was given the title of One Word Side by Side King? Zhang Wei was shocked. This dog pack leader was crazy for the delicious food in front of him.

"I only know how to play keyboards, management is not my forte." Takada Kenryo declined. It's okay to joke, but don't really blame me. Besides, the son of aquaculture has always been an open-minded person, and he would not just think about eating alone, so he happily shared the tuna cooked by his elder brother.

The only one who needed to be beaten was the Austrian who attacked her chest before entering the venue.

Seeing this, other audience members also became very greedy.

Some female fans secretly remembered that other idols gave flowers to vote for the charts, but here they had to change it a little bit and give chickens, ducks, fish, cows, sheep, and pigs. Alas, they gradually understood the rules. So when will the concert start? The start of a new battlefield?

Yin Ze didn't know about this, he just fried and ate it now. It made sense, for a cooking show, someone has to cook and someone has to eat. Saori Ohnishi and Risa Taneda, who had lost two rounds in a row, had nothing to do, so they had to come over with a smile and try to take advantage. Yin Ze's only shortcoming was that he was too kind, so he ordered the two to wash rice and cook. After frying the fish, he showed off his classic mapo tofu. The three of them stood next to the stage and started to eat a full meal as if no one was around.

"They... are really free." Even though Minase Inori was more concerned about Matsuoka Yoshitsugu in the competition, her attention was inevitably drawn to the eliminated group.

Kashiwa Ippei was getting more and more upset. After this round, he was basically the only one who didn't get to eat. He said to Sakura Ayane emphatically, "Send a pop-up message later and tell him that I want to eat fish."

"No problem, I want to eat too." Sakura Ayane said OK.

"Why do you need to ask someone else to send it?" Kenqi Kyoka wondered.

"This is what a traitor does," Kashiwa Ippei said. Compared to the faction leaders, Nielung had basically never refused Sakura-kun's requests.

While the defeated trio ate, they began to shout in a business voice, like the off-site commentators in a battle show.

"What? They actually minced fresh pork and beef in the right proportions, and then mixed it with fried and cooled onion flakes, milk, and breadcrumbs. The tenderness of the meat and the crispness of the onions will create a wonderful taste. What a great palm technique! Contestant Matsuoka is using his muscles to beat the meat patties, shaking out the air with all his strength. Every palm is filled with murderous intent and anger. But the meat patties that are not frozen quickly will easily fall apart when fried in a pan. How is he going to deal with this problem?"

"The Hidaka/Uchida team that defeated me by a narrow margin actually chose 'cabbage rolls'. This dish is not as simple as it looks. Just like making rice dumplings, it requires some skills. Starting from blanching the cabbage, all the work must be done simultaneously. If it were the two handymen next to me who were eating for free, they would easily get flustered and make a mess - huh? Who stepped on my foot just now?"

"Let's get back to the point. Cabbage rolls are one of the 'home dishes that seem simple but are actually troublesome' that housewives complain about. Whether you cook it for a short or long time, the taste will be affected, and if the leaves are not wrapped well, it will easily turn into meat soup. But if these two masters can beat me by a narrow margin, I believe there will be no technical difficulties."

Due to the activeness of the losers, Chiaki Uezawa made the flexible decision to let the three losers join the tasting and judging session of the finals. This can be a kind of black humor with a critical nature.

Hearing that there was more to eat, Ōnishi Saori and Taneda Risa could not help but put down their bowls and chopsticks with dignity. So the rest of the food naturally went into someone's terrazzo throat.

The atmosphere in the finals was very serious, and both sides basically didn't talk, and you could tell from their expressions that they were serious. But even at full speed, it took a while to get the food out of the pot and onto the plate, because the dish itself required so much time.

The first dish served was Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's hamburger meat, and Takahashi Minomi also assisted very attentively. I guess after the on-site teaching, they might know the process of making this dish. Matsuoka and Takahashi wanted to make some comments, but someone stopped them on the grounds that it was forbidden to please the judges.

Master Yin is very skilled in using the knife and fork, and his movements of cutting, forking and eating are full of rhythm.

Hamburger meat is not actually the piece of meat in the middle of the hamburger. It can be simply understood as Japanese lion's head meat, which may be a little greasy.

"This sauce is..." After taking a bite, Saori Ōnishi felt that it was different from the fixed taste she had in mind.

"It's my own way of preparing it. If you have to say what's different, I added bean paste." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu smiled faintly.

"Hehehe, the last round of omelette rice also added a not-so-mainstream spicy flavor. Was it intentional or an accident?" Yin Ze asked.

"It's a habit." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu admitted, "Cooking is like dubbing. It requires constant absorption and practice, and then it is transformed into skills. I used to use spicy flavors roughly, but now I can use it more delicately. This is a manifestation of growth."

"As a judge, I am very strict and will not accept any speculation. But because of your honesty and frankness, I am willing to vote for you." Yin Ze nodded.

"We haven't even started eating the second dish yet. What a dirty call." Risa Taneda complained.

The steaming cabbage rolls were then served. The steamed cabbage leaves became slightly transparent and white, and the meat-colored fillings inside could be vaguely seen, just like a large wonton, conveying a simple and delicious impression. This shows that the heat was just right. If the water was replaced with chicken soup or broth, it would be richer, but the conditions on site were limited, and it was already a difference in strength to achieve this level.

The fillings are very luxurious and the seasoning is very careful, including balsamic vinegar, Italian parsley, salt, pepper, paprika, and eggs. Rice neutralizes the astringency of meat, and bread crumbs retain the juice. The tomato sauce is not a commercial product that is poured directly, but is homemade. Onions, shallots, and garlic are sautéed until fragrant, and then diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and white wine are added and stir-fried, then simmered over low heat, and finally red wine vinegar and sugar are added.

Finally, wrapping the stuffing with vegetable leaves is much more difficult than making dumplings.

It also has to be a double row so that the work can be divided. It would be a bit troublesome for one person to catch up with the program time. Considering the problem of heat and time, the volume is halved to make it cooked faster.

The leaves are soft and juicy, the sauce is slightly sour and sweet, the fillings are full and delicious.

Saori Ōnishi and Risa Taneda praised it continuously. Normally, they wouldn't look for this dish if they had nothing to do, so this was a novelty for them.

Yin Ze didn't say anything and just focused on eating.

"Don't just focus on eating, speak." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu felt something was wrong.

"Hey, it smells so good." Yin Ze seemed to have forgotten what he had just said and also forgot to vote.

"?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"It seems that you all have an idea. Then, please choose the champion," said Kamizawa Chiaki.

The defeated crowd unanimously confirmed the result.

"Today, the winner is the team of Hidaka Rina and Uchida Maaya!" Chiaki Uezawa announced loudly.

The lights on the stage flashed, and the bald, big-bodied staff who looked like clones stood far away, setting off paper flower salutes and banging them in celebration. The winning background music in the animation also sounded at the right time. The audience also erupted in warm applause.

"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality!" Rina Hidaka and Maaya Uchida finally declared their victory.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu looked at the cheap paper fireworks flying in the air below the stage, feeling the lights sweeping across his cheeks again and again, and looked a little dejected.

"That's already great! Matsuoka-san!" Takahashi Minomi encouraged, "In my heart, Matsuoka-san's cooking is the best."

"Yeah, that's right. The runner-up is always better than the top four." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu sighed, and the lessons learned from the experience will definitely be applied next time.

"What do you mean?" It was Yin Ze's turn to be angry. He just wanted to please the judges, but now they were implying that he was targeted by the version and lost to the champion. There was nothing shameful about that.

"That's what you understand."

"It's no use if you say that."

"If you're unhappy, come and compete." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu shrugged.

"Do you think I would be afraid of you?" Yin Ze raised his voice.

"Encore! Encore——!" The audience knew how to add fuel to the fire and they loved watching this brotherly game.

During a cooking activity, they all shouted "encore" in unison and asked for another dish. This level of weirdness is probably rare in the entertainment industry.

"I understand everyone's enthusiasm and the two chefs' fighting spirit, but time is really running out." Uezawa Chiaki added with a wry smile. Cooking is different from singing.

"It's okay, you guys go ahead and announce the ending first. We'll go over there and cut some cold dishes." Yin Ze has always been indifferent.

"Just mix a salad and win a game easily." After triggering the Dragon God bond, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu can be nonchalant on the stage.

Two elementary school boys picked up their knives and started chopping melons and vegetables.

Chiaki Uezawa used to be a TV anchor. After changing her job, she hosted many press conferences and meet-and-greets. She is a familiar face among hosts. She has traveled all over the country and seen many stage accidents, but she never expected that one day she would meet so many talented people.

The audience was very excited and cheered loudly.

The event ended with two exquisite salads.

……

The backstage was bustling with activity, and the staff came forward to congratulate the successful conclusion. The food consultant from the cafeteria also applauded with appreciation, saying that he found the dishes on stage wonderful.

"Come on, thank you all for your hard work, have something to eat." Moriki Hiroshi greeted them warmly.
