As one of the most common ingredients on the human table, almost everyone does not know it. It has been present in the history of cuisine development throughout the ages.
In the world of Shokuki, as a cooking topic for Kohei Souma's Totsuki transfer student exam, there is also an egg-based breakfast topic during the accommodation training at Totsuki Resort.
Although everyone knows about this ingredient, it is not an easy task to really make this ingredient, which is considered the simplest, work well. The special examiner is also a "gourmet" who has experienced the battlefield of gourmet cuisine for a long time!
"Eggs are really interesting!"
Xia Tian weighed the round and shiny eggs in her hands and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
"The theme of this dish is "eggs"! All contestants are asked to make pasta dishes that match the theme of "eggs". All required ingredients will be provided by the venue."
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw countless staff at the door walking in with carts filled with all kinds of basic ingredients needed. There was such an ingredient cart parked in front of every cooking table.
"If the ingredients we provide are not what the contestants need, please let us know and we will do our best to search for you."
"Well, I would like to ask, if you don't have the ingredients we want, will our cooking time be extended during the preparation period? If we haven't gathered the ingredients yet, but the number of people to qualify has already been gathered, is that right for us?
It’s a bit unfair.”
Suddenly a contestant raised his hand to ask a question. The others looked at the emcee after hearing this, but the emcee just smiled and said softly:
"Sir, you may not understand. We will only help you search for the ingredients you need, but this does not mean that we will open a special case for you. Time will not stop, nor will it be extended, nor will there be anything special.
Quota, do you understand?"
"But you guys are not fair~"
It was the same contestant, whose face had turned red.
"There is no fairness. Do you think you are still in school? This is the chef's battlefield, and others will not let you do it just because of your own reasons."
The emcee's voice suddenly became cold, and the contestant's face turned blue and white. He wanted to attract some contestants around him to support him, but looking around, except for some contestants who had nothing to do with him and were indifferent,
Most of the others looked at him with contempt. This suddenly made his heart cool down.
"Of course, if you still have any objections, you can also abstain. The button on the cooking table is also prepared for this."
But the contestant put his finger on the red button several times and finally gave up. The emcee just chuckled, ignored it, and said into the microphone:
"Okay, do you have any other opinions? If not, then I declare the game to begin!"
Following the emcee's order, the originally silent venue suddenly began to boil like water pouring into a pan. The three-hour countdown on the big screen had begun. The contestants below were walking in front of the food trucks and cooking tables.
, were constantly busy, but there was a person standing idle with his arms folded, looking particularly out of place compared to the tense and busy crowd around him.
After glancing at the food cart, Xia Tian closed his eyes and began to compare them with the recipes in his heart. Xia Tian suddenly closed his eyes and frowned slightly, then opened his eyes and murmured:
“There’s still one missing ingredient!”
Immediately, Xia Tian called the staff and explained to the staff the ingredients he needed. The staff nodded and was about to leave, when Xia Tian's voice came to his ears again:
"Sir, although you haven't heard of the ingredients I need, they will definitely be available in the shopping malls in Tokyo's Chinatown. Counting your round trip, an hour will definitely be enough, so you shouldn't bring any trouble.
Take the necessary trouble!"
The staff member's body was shaken, and when he looked back, Xia Tian was looking at him with a smile, his face was a little weird, but he left without saying anything.
“Let’s start the initial preparation before the ingredients arrive!”
After saying that, Xia Tian moved the joints between his fingers and made a "click" sound, with a confident smile on his face.
…
At this time, Ryoichi Kasotani was leading his review team in the venue, and was walking around. A contestant was cooking, but suddenly he felt a chill on his back. When he turned around, he saw Ryoichi Kasotani staring at him intently.
Looking at him, the smile on his face looked extroverted.
Seeing the sly smile, he suddenly panicked, and the cooking wine in his hand accidentally spilled on the fire. With a "swish" sound, the fire suddenly started, and the flames followed the cooking wine and burned to his
on clothes.
"Ah~! Fire, fire..."
The contestant screamed in horror, but the staff next to him calmly used the fire extinguishers that had been prepared to put out the fire. The staff were well-trained and quickly extinguished the flames. Only then did the contestants relax.
He took a breath, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly came to his cooking table.
"My pot, my pot..."
I saw a pan on the stove, and the ingredients inside were already burned to a crisp.
The contestant immediately collapsed on the ground. Looking back, Ryoichi Kasutani silently shook his head and left. The contestant suddenly felt extremely depressed and had no energy left.
"Woo~"
A loud whistle sounded, and the contestants only saw the words "One person abstains" flashed on the big screen, and they suddenly became nervous.
Ryoichi Kasutani was still in the venue, wandering around, but when he saw that there was no chef who satisfied him, his face was still smiling, but his heart was getting colder and colder.
But suddenly he stopped at a cooking station. The contestant was a chef from a star restaurant in Paris, France. At this time, he was attracted by the French chef's exquisite cooking skills. Ryoichi Kasutani couldn't help but
He nodded, full of admiration for this French chef.
"As expected of a prime area with fierce competition, the neon lights are still a bit inferior!"
And just as Ryoichi Kasutani kept sighing in his heart, a sudden loud "bang" startled him. Before he could recover, a series of sounds rang in his ears. He quickly used the palm of his hand to
He covered his ears, with a look of pain on his face. Even the French chef's hands stopped and he frowned slightly.
"Ah~this sound~"
"My ears are ringing..."
"So sad!!"
The other contestants also covered their ears and kept making complaining sounds. Ryoichi Kasutani's smile also dropped, and he followed the sound, but when he walked over, he couldn't help but his eyes widened and he screamed in shock.
