Everyone's eyes fell on the person who spoke. She was a girl with purple hair and black eyes. She was holding what looked like a very fresh grass carp in her hand, but she threw it back to the ice cube.

"There was something wrong with the handling of this fish, it was scratched with gall!"

Smelling the bitterness in the fishy mucus on her hands, the girl looked at Zhao Yougan and the others in the lecturer's seat with an annoyed expression.

She never thought that such little tricks would appear in Yuanyue's random exam.

"This is a test of basic skills. Determining whether the ingredients are usable is just a small step..."

"And... you are not the first to discover the problem with the ingredients, but they have already started making it!"

Zhao Youqian smiled gently at this angry girl.

"Forty-five minutes is not a long time!"

Hearing Zhao Yougan's words, the girl's anger subsided slightly, and she quickly went to the cold storage to select other fish that could be used. After all, as the main ingredient, steamed fish would be ridiculous if there was no fish at all.

"Teacher Zhao, that person just now is Miyoko Hojo, the daughter of the chef of the famous Yaozhou cuisine restaurant Hojo House."

"It seems that she came to Totsuki to study because of the rule in Hojo House that men are not passed on to women, hoping that she can use her cooking skills to regain the inheritance rights of Hojo House."

After listening to the introduction, he shook his head with emotion, and Zhao Youqian couldn't help but complain.

"There are no such old-fashioned rules in Yaozhou, but Dongying can see them, which is really weird!"

The second person on the right of Wisteria could only pretend not to hear these words, because not only Hojo House, but also many other inheritances including Tozakura Cuisine also have this kind of rules. This is also the reason why academic chefs suddenly emerged.

How can a restaurant that only relies on family inheritance compete with academic chefs who integrate many culinary concepts, constantly innovate, and follow the trends of the times?

However, these old restaurants passed down by families all have one or two so-called secret cooking skills, which allows them to stand firm in some fields, which leads to the emergence of the so-called innovative school.

Holding on to the tradition of the old restaurant, but learning the concept of the academy, based on strong cooking skills, he developed many new dishes, impacting the pattern of Tozakura cuisine.

"This one is considered a key training target. When we took the assessment, she showed her stir-fry skills that were far beyond her age, and she also had a good grasp of the heat..."

Seeing Miyoko Hojo starting to take action, Wisteria couldn't help but say a few more words.

After all, Zhao Youqian probably doesn't know much about the thousands of freshmen. This is his main job here, introducing these students. After a month, Zhao Youqian will almost remember the names and characteristics of these people, and he will be successful. He retreated.

Nodding slightly, Zhao Youqian did not observe Miyoko Hojo's operations for too long. After all, the skill was not as good as that of a second-year junior high school kid from Yaodong, and it was not worthy of his attention for too long. After writing down the parts that Miyoko Hojo needed to strengthen, He continued to scan the good ideas that he found in the original books or during observation.

The most prominent among them is naturally the Italian brother in the original work who initially provoked Souma Yukihira and then quickly became his enemy.

Takmi Aldini and Isami Aldini!

Their actions were completely different from what others were doing from the beginning. While others were still distinguishing the ingredients, they were very determined in every step, especially when cooking, the fish fillets were cut and prepared. , bursts of fragrance ignited in the flames.

When the fish steak was finally put into the steamer for final ripening, Zhao Youqian was convinced that the two men had seen the core of his casual test.

However, even the two Italian brothers were not the fastest in serving food. When the first plate of steamed fish was placed in front of him, only fifteen minutes had passed.

"I'm done with the test, right?"

Showing a proud smile, the freshman seemed to have won everything. He looked at the companions behind him who were still preparing, with a hint of ridicule.

"A steamed fish takes so long..."

But Zhao Youqian pushed the steamed fish away without even tasting it.

"You passed, but you also failed!"

"There's still half an hour left. Serve me a satisfying steamed fish, or you can consider dropping out of school!"

Unable to believe his ears, the proud freshman turned his head in surprise.

"What are you talking about? I passed and yet failed? What on earth are you talking about? You didn't even taste it and you knew I failed?"

"What does it mean if you pass the exam but fail?"

He just stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Youqian by the collar. His fierce look made other students who were taking assessments couldn't help but focus their eyes on the lecturer's desk.

"What I said is clear enough. If you don't understand, you can go out now!"

"Also, if you think you have succeeded, try your steamed fish!"

Zhao Youqian sent his dish back to him, with a hint of sneer in his eyes.

"Fart, how could my dish fail?"

The freshman was extremely dissatisfied, but he did not dare to act wild on the spot. After all, Zhao Youqian's identity was more than just a tutor. Even Yuanyue's tutor had absolute authority in the classroom.

Hearing Zhao Youqian's comment, he directly picked up the chopsticks and started to touch the Yaozhou-style steamed fish that was already covered with knife patterns, sauteed with shredded ginger and green onion in oil, and put down the steamed fish with soy sauce.

He picked up a piece of white and tender fish meat, exuding the faint fragrance of soy sauce and the aroma of sautéed onions and ginger oil.

But after he stuffed it into his mouth for only three seconds, he couldn't help but spit it out.

"How could it be? Why is it that the umami taste only lasts for a moment and is followed by a fishy smell?"

At this moment, Hojo Miyoko came to him with a plate of hot steamed fish and showed a disdainful sneer.

"Because you got the wrong fish, idiot!"

She pointed to the grass carp-like fish on the plate.

"Have you noticed that there are two tendrils here on the fish head? Although some grass carps also have them, they are very short. What you are taking is a stupid carp!"

The boy who brought the food first had an incredulous look on his face.

"Carp...carp???!!"

Miyoko Hojo pushed this idiot away. She couldn't even distinguish the types of freshwater fish, and she still dared to cook with this kind of fish. It was really a model of courage and cleverness.

"Carp is fishier than ordinary freshwater fish. This one is not tampered with, but there is something wrong with your handling. Not only did you not remove the fishy tendons, but you also did not clean the teeth and gills thoroughly!"

After Zhao Youqian added something, he looked at Miyoko Hojo.

He noticed the hot red steamed fish in her hand and smiled.

"What about you? Are you ready?"

Miyoko Hojo raised her eyebrows.
