On the day of the decisive battle, at 7:10 pm, between moon and sky, there was a huge crowd.
"The time from now until the actual cooking can be used as preparation time. Please ask the contestants to move the ingredients and cooking utensils into the venue." Kawashima Rei presided over it as always.
Shi Ke, Hayama Ryo and Yukihira were doing preparation work at the assigned cooking table (processing side dishes, checking kitchen knives, etc.).
"Oh! Look at the saury brought out by Ryo Hayama! The fish is sparkling with light~! The luster and fullness of the fish are top-notch! The overflowing mucus shows how fresh the fish is! It looks like white.
Like a famous sword, this is the famous sword that he will use to compete in the duel!" The sponsors praised the saury that Hayama Ryo took out.
In any case, the flags were definitely planted full before the game.
"Bang!" Yukihira put a plastic box on the cooking table.
"Oh?! Another student is planning to take out saury! I wonder how good his eyesight is?" A teacher stood up and stretched his neck to look.
"Swiss, swiss, swish..." Xingping rummaged through the box, "Um... hi?! Where did my fish go?"
The teacher is absolutely defeated.
Xingping had an expression of disbelief, and after groping for a while, his eyes lit up, "Oh oh oh! I found it, I found it."
Xingping lifted the fish out, and all he could see was the shape of a fish. The surface of the fish body was covered with a layer of yellow and sticky stuff.
Ryo Hayama was completely shocked when he saw Yukihira's fish, which looked like this before, and now looks like this (○Д○).
All the spectators in the Pole Star dormitory had this expression, Σ(っ°Д°;)っ, "You...you look like a very slow fish!!"
Except for Xiao Hui, she has this expression, (.).
"If I were in violent mode now, I would definitely rush up and beat him up!" Kurokiba Ryo, who was in calm mode, was lying on the railing and saying harsh words.
"So you are in violent mode?" Daigo Aoki and Shoji Sato complained.
"The name I chose! Is it appropriate? Is it appropriate?" Alice raised her hand, (oo).
"..." Everyone in Jiexing, including Takemi Isami and Mito Yumei, said nothing and nodded.
"Huh huh huh!" Alice hugged her arms, raised her head, and her nose felt longer. She looked very proud. It seemed that she was quite proud.
"Then...what is that? That guy Yukihira is doing some inexplicable things again! Compared with Ryo Hayama's saury, his fish is just like a dull, rusty knife! And I heard that
He didn't go to the fish market at all in the morning. Could it be that he has his own channels to get the freshest saury?" There were various discussions in the audience.
"Huh? Xinghei, you are really good at tricks like this." Shi Ke tilted his head and looked at it, knowing full well.
"Okay. If your eyesight is not good enough, you can only go another way. You seem to have slept very late today, right?" Yukihira waved his hand.
"Hmm. I overslept. There weren't many good saury when I went to the fish market. So I had to buy more, try quantity over quality." Shi Ke took out his saury, one, two and three.
The four strips are just like picking out tofu. They keep picking out the tofu, and the quality of each strip becomes worse than the last.
"Haha... You are so unlucky. The best of these fish are almost the same as the ones I picked." Xingping walked over and took a look.
"Well... I overslept and relaxed too much." Shi Ke spread his hands, feeling helpless, (_).
"Wow! Shi Ke-kun, isn't this over?" Yuji held her head and screamed.
"This guy...doesn't care about the game at all! I'm so angry!" Kurokiba Ryo turned on his violent mode, and his whole body was on fire.
"Stop, stop! Don't make trouble and sit still!" Alice held a whistle next to her and kept blowing.
"Eh? That's not right. The person who shouted "Damn" at this time, according to the past situation, shouldn't it be Xiaohui? How did it become me?" Yuji reacted and looked at Xiaohui who looked calm next to her.
"Yes! That's strange! Xiaohui is too calm today. Are you feeling unwell?" Liangzi also looked at Xiaohui and reached out to touch Xiaohui's forehead.
"No...no discomfort." Xiao Hui waved her hand hurriedly.
"Then why are you so calm? It's like you have completely changed."
"Because Mr. Shi Ke..."
"He? What's wrong with him? By the way, you are the only one helping him these days." Yuji quickly came over, gossiping, (w).
"That's because Ibusaki-kun and Mito are all helping Soma-kun, but Shike-kun is alone, and no one goes to see him... Although he didn't say anything, we are in the same dormitory after all.
Ah. That's...not good~~it makes it seem like we are rejecting him~" Xiaohui fell silent as she spoke.
"That's because he is very strong. We can't help...right?" Daigo Aoki said, but fell silent.
"Aoki?" Sato Shoji asked.
"It's true that we didn't go to see him. You and I went to see Xingping's place, but we couldn't help, so we left. He didn't go there at all... He and I are even on the same floor. We usually live on the same floor.
We haven't even spoken much..." Daigo Aoki scratched his head.
"We seem to be really rejecting him... We don't have much contact with him except for banquets. Only Yukihira spends time with him every day." Zenji Marui pushed up his glasses.
"Is it because he is too strong?" Daigo Aoki asked.
"Does that have anything to do with going to see it?" Jun Imusaki asked.
"It doesn't matter." Sato Shoji said.
"You are still isolated in the same dormitory? Mr. Shi Ke is not the kind of self-righteous person." Alice curled her lips next to her.
"We didn't! It happened like this before we knew it!" Daigo Aoki and Shoji Sato Dou'e were wronged!
"Anyway, it's you who are wrong. As for me, I still went to check it out." Yuji raised her head, looking arrogant, and then blushed, "But that day, he was working out shirtless, so I was not too embarrassed.
treat."
"That's true. We don't know when he cooks. He always spends a lot of time before the game doing things that have nothing to do with the game." Jun Imusaki said.
"You are quite familiar with me." Daigo Aoki said.
"On the same floor, let's talk a few more words."
"..." Daigo Aoki was shocked.
"Hmm...maybe you are relaxing? I also have this habit. However, it is only for exercise." Kurokiba Ryo said.
"Maybe."
"Xiaohui, what did you say happened because of Mr. Shike?" Liangzi brought back the correct topic.
"Yesterday, he predicted the ingredients and dishes that Soma-kun and Hayama-kun would use, and it seemed that he was absolutely right. Soma-kun's is rice bran saury, and Hayama-kun's is carefully selected saury."
"Rice bran? That's right! What Yukihira Soma used was indeed rice bran saury! If you didn't remind me, I wouldn't have thought of it!" Ryo Kurokiba said, patting the railing.
"Um...Xiao Hui? You just said that Mr. Shi Ke predicted the ingredients for two people yesterday? Are you right?" Alice asked, stunned.
"Yeah." Xiaohui nodded.
"..." Everyone in Jiexing looked at each other, "Shi Ke is really a monster!! That's right! We have been helping Xingping for so many days and we still haven't figured out what kind of ripening method Xingping will finally come up with. He didn't even look at it.
You can guess it just by looking at it!”
"Um... does this mean that Shi Ke-kun may have overslept on purpose? He doesn't care about the difference in quality of the ingredients at all?" Jun Imusaki said after being stunned for a while.
"It's impossible. Apart from aging it in advance, how can there be any way to come up with ingredients that are enough to compete with Ryo Hayama?! It's absolutely impossible just to rely on the second-rate saury he brought out!" Ryo Kurokiba said categorically.
Speaking of.
"Calm down, calm down." Alice comforted her at the side.
On the ring, "Shi Ke, what do you mean?" Ye Shanliang's calm expression became a bit unbearable.
"I overslept. Yawned..." Shi Ke said and yawned.
"Huh~~ It's up to you! However, let me tell you, how you choose the saury has at least a 70% chance of determining the outcome of this game! Since you two are planning to do this, don't blame me for taking it easily.
You win this game! You two are destined to lose!!" There was anger in Ye Shanliang's words, a kind of anger caused by being ignored!
"Hey, hey, hey... Although my saury looks very slow, my finished product will surprise you! The competition hasn't even started yet, and you just said that I will lose. Isn't it too arrogant?"
Yukihira is a little bit angry.
"Yes, yes!" Shi Ke immediately united with Xingping.
"Don't be right first. What are you going to do with your fish? I don't think you can be saved." Xingping rolled his eyes.
"Oh... you are right." Shi Ke sighed after hearing this, "Luck is also a part of strength."
"You are not lucky, you are arrogant! Am I, Ryo Hayama, someone you can deal with casually? You have disappointed me so much!" Ryo Hayama said righteously.
"Yeah. You were careless." Shi Ke looked distressed.
"It's over. Mr. Shi Ke himself is in despair." Yuji and Xiaohui followed in despair.
"Stop acting, you are not the kind of person to deal with the competition casually! I will not allow you to lose to anyone other than me!!" Kurokiba Ryo frowned, yelled, and revealed
The atmosphere of despair created by Shi Ke.
"Hey, hey, hey... my atmosphere is just right. What are you trying to do? You top eight!" Shi Ke made no sense for a second and shouted directly at Kurokiba Ryo.
"Don't mention the top eight!!" Kurokiba was very angry.
"Huh? Stop pretending! The game is already a foregone conclusion." Ye Shanliang said to Shi Ke.
"..., not necessarily. If a chef's ability is limited by ingredients of slightly lower quality, it only means that the chef is not good at cooking, but it does not mean that he has an eye for picking vegetables. The best chef can use the most common
Use the ingredients to make the most delicious dishes. No more acting, I'm going to show off. These are the ingredients I chose. It's enough to defeat you. If you think it's a waste of time, I don't have a problem with it.
"Shi Ke changed his style and pointed at the saury on the cooking table, extremely aggressive.
"Really?! Put the water on my head!!" Hayama Ryo was so angry that veins appeared on his forehead, (＿#).
"Interesting!" Xingping was also very angry, looking like he was rolling up his sleeves and preparing for a fight.
"Shi Kejun, you are so crazy!" All the teachers and students in the school were stunned.
