The one hundred and ninety-fourth chapter, the song of the seven stars beheading the generals, interludes, although defeated, still honored.
"OK. It's done." Sissi Kubotao walked up to the judging table carrying the desserts put into the small basket.
"Oh! Here it comes! Momo-senpai! The first one to take action is indeed Momo-senpai! Hahahaha~~" Kawashima Rei put her hands on her hips and smiled silly, (?˙ω˙?).
"Uh... why does Kawashima Rei feel so funny?" Shi Ke crossed his arms and tilted his head.
"She is." Miyoko Hojo appeared next to Shi Ke.
"Huh? You don't seem to have been smoked?" Shi Ke turned around and raised his eyebrows, (?ω?).
"No. I found a better place to watch the game." Miyoko Hojo glanced sideways at Shi Ke, (?_?).
“Ah~~it’s so full of freedom!”
"I was just called by you to make up for the crowd. Why are you staying inside? Do you think I don't know? If I really fight against the top ten, there is no chance of me simply dying."
"Then you still agree? Aren't you afraid of dropping out of school?"
"So what if I drop out? Didn't you promise me that I can go to Jiudingxuan for an internship? That place can help me improve my Chinese cooking better than Totsuki Academy. And, it's not annoying..." Miyoko Hojo glanced at Xiao Mei, who was still working hard.
Sighed.
"Oh." Shi Ke nodded, (?ω?).
While we were chatting, Sissi Kubomomo distributed the desserts in the small baskets she was carrying to the judges.
Shi Ke turned to look, touched his chin and nodded, (?ω?), "It's interesting."
This dessert is small and exquisite, and looks very cute. A pink rose blooms quietly on the bottom of the fragrant bun tart. The slight heat rises slowly along with the aroma, making it seductive and unexpectedly enchanting.
"Eh? What...what's going on? Is she going to use that basket of roses to fight?" Yuki tilted her head and said.
"That's an egg tart, Yuji." Shi Ke turned around and said, (?ω?;).
"Ah?" Yuji held up a question mark sign, (??o??)??.
"Where did you find it? Xun has super powers." Shi Ke twisted his mouth.
"I don't know. After I smoked it just now, I have a lot more brands." Yuji took out several brands, and then pointed to a few people eating bananas next to her, "There are also bananas."
"..., your character settings have changed, I'm sure." Shi Ke nodded seriously.
"Ah? What character setting?" Yuji raised the sign again, (??ω??)??.
"Nothing. We're watching the game, put down the sign." Shi Ke waved his hand.
"Oh." Yuji changed to a big sign with the words "Come on" and waved it.
"..., cow!" Shi Ke was stunned for a moment and gave a thumbs up.
Returning to the judging table, "Hmm~ha! It smells so good~~! It's really like a rose!" Shalum said with squinted eyes after smelling the dessert.
"It does look like a rose at first glance...but if you look closely...the petals are actually the toppings of the pie. That's right! This rose is a dessert made from apples!" East
Hua Lu adjusted his glasses and looked carefully.
"Hmm. After picking it up, the fragrance becomes more mellow. Holding a small one in your hand, it's a lovely, perfect and luxurious feeling!" Shalum nodded and said.
"The fragrance makes people feel like they are in a dream~~Ah ha~~" Eastvale added again, his face was rosy and shiny, and he felt dizzy.
"Ah...ah...the judges are like this just by smelling the smell?! They are completely impressed!" Yuki said while holding up the exclamation sign, (?˙ー˙?)?!.
"You can't speak without holding up a sign?" Shi Ke complained, (?ω?).
"Ah! That's right! Why?! This feels so weird!" Yuji held up another sign, (??Benefit?)?NO.
"Just bear with it. It's not a big deal anyway. It will probably get better after a while." Shi Ke said while suppressing a smile, (?ω?).
"Okay!" Yuji said with a sad face, (?_?)? I can bear it.
Returning to the judging table, "Welcome to my world~Please enjoy it slowly." Sissi Kubomomo spread her hands and said with a smile.
"Crack~~" The three judges started to eat. After one bite, the crispy sound rang out.
"It's amazing! While chewing the luscious blooming flowers, you can feel the aroma going straight into your nose! The crunchy texture of the apple makes your mouth feel extremely happy! Just one taste and it's already fascinating!!" Anne exclaimed.
"And just as I thought... I was not mistaken about the true nature of the aroma released by this dish. He is..."
"Damascus Rose. What's the point of selling it?" Sadatsuka Nao said without raising her head.
"Uh? Don't imitate Shi Ke!! Those are WGO judges!" Ryoko Sakaki was frightened.
"It's really not good to interrupt the judges. But what she said is right. This is it. This is my favorite flower, and its floral fragrance is very charming." Sissi Kubotao took out a bouquet of Damascus roses.
said.
"There are tens of thousands of roses in the world. Among these roses, the fragrance of Damascus rose is the most elegant and profound. It is called the Queen of Roses! It is said that Cleopatra also loved this kind of rose very much and would put it in every bath.
Put the petals into the bath and be delighted by their fragrance," Anne explained.
"The dessert with the scent of roses must be delicious!!" Daigo Aoki said with tears streaming down his face.
"But, it's strange... She was able to perfectly penetrate the fragrance of roses into the dessert without damaging the shape at all... If she just concentrated the fragrance and steamed it... then the appearance and taste of the apples should change.
It has to be soft and sweet." Ye Shanliang touched his chin curiously.
"I don't know how to steam~~ I just let the fragrance of roses penetrate in." Sissi Kubotao hugged the little bear and smiled calmly, (?òωó?) "Although these processes cost me a lot of time.
It takes less time. First, I gently rinse the petals of the Damascus rose with water, and then pour a large amount of the rinsed petals into the pot and boil it. In this way, the sweet and fragrant peach-colored sherbet is completed! Then, add
Put the rose juice into the juice boiled from the apple peel and simmer over low heat. Finally, turn off the heat and add the thinly sliced apples. Let it soak slowly for ten minutes. The delicate red color and pleasant aroma of the rose will slowly fade away.
It slowly penetrates into the flesh of the apple. That kind of gurgling stew is not the style that a queen should have. Taking an elegant and slow bath... this is the rose queen. The name of this beautiful dish I made is the Queen's.
Apple tart. By the way, this flower basket is made of bread, so it can also be eaten. Hehehe~~The edible flower basket~~is really cute~~so cute~!”
"Gradually rendering and penetrating... It sounds so simple. However, on the contrary, in order to achieve this, the egg tart itself, the decoration, the ratio of ingredients and even the final brushing with the condensate soup to glaze,
Each step requires a delicate and huge cooking process. In order to make lovely dishes, no matter how complicated or tedious the process is, she does not hesitate. Moreover, her aesthetic also penetrates into the service, turning the flower baskets covered with desserts into a
A beautiful bouquet of flowers in a basket, and then appeared with the basket on his arm. He looked like the protagonist from a fairy tale!" Eastvale said with love on his head.
"Yes, she is a resident who lives in the fairy tale world. This magician added magic to ordinary ingredients, thus turning Cinderella into an extremely delicious princess! Anyone who has tasted the desserts she made will
Without exception... they have become residents of the dream kingdom!!" Anne, who had released the Monkey King II status after eating the egg tarts, came to a conclusion and led other judges to have a tea tasting party with Rei Kawashima.
"My heart is conquered by her world!!" Shalum sighed.
"Is there really something delicious that can overturn this dish?" Eastvale said.
"Ha~~" Annie quietly sipped the freshly brewed coffee, leisurely and contentedly.
"I'll do it first! You... feel free to do whatever you want!! Tons, tons, tons~burp~! So cool!!!" Kawashima Rei picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, then burped. What she drank was Coke!
"Kawashima Rei is on the wrong set. Why does this tea party smell like barbecue?" Shi Ke raised his eyebrows, (?ω?).
"The baking was good. It's done... I hope I won't let everyone's help go down~! Phew!" Xiao Hui wiped the sweat from her forehead and her dishes were completed.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time. Please enjoy!" Xiao Hui walked up to the judging table carrying her own dish.
"Senior Sister Tao just served an extremely luxurious dish! So you must also come up with a dish that is powerful enough to compete with it! Xiaohui!" Everyone in Jiexing looked forward to it.
"Please enjoy." Xiao Hui put down the dishes and made tea for the judges.
"What is the dish Xiaohui brought out?" Yuji held up the sign and stretched her neck to look at it, (＞Benefit＜)? What dish.
Flat, smooth, and full of elasticity, like a small bronze UFO.
"Dorayaki?!" Yuji's expression changed very quickly, and the meaning changed when the sign was turned around, (??Benefit?||)?what?, "As expected of Xiaohui! This is too simple!!
"
"Now let's start the judging, so where are the apples, the theme ingredient?" Annie picked up Xiao Hui's Dorayaki with a smile.
"I completely lost the appreciation of the dishes..." Yuji was a little decadent, but still raised the sign, (?_?)? Come on.
"No! The most important thing is the taste! Let's decide the winner with the taste! Come on!!" Daigo Aoki's expression was not confident, but he still poured more oil in a cold sweat, (◣д◢;).
"Pfft~~" Annie gently broke the dorayaki into two halves, "Oh. So that's it. There is white filling inside the cake. Inside the filling, there are apples cut into small cubes."
"Oh oh oh! The charming aroma of fruity fragrance has enveloped the entire judging panel!" Xialum squinted his eyes and smelled the aroma and said, "But...at this moment, the apple tart just now is better in terms of aroma and appearance.
It's better than that."
"You can't say that... Dorayaki! It is a staple food in Japan that has been passed down for 800 years and has undergone countless changes. The shape of two pancakes wrapped together is said to be inspired by Western pancakes. In terms of culture, it is
The connotation contained in it cannot be described by simple taste." Eastvale looked at Dorayaki, his eyes shining brightly.
"Ah! After all, you like studying culture very much. Let's try it quickly!" Shalum's response was a little perfunctory. It seemed that he cared more about the taste.
Eastvale took one bite and froze.
"Huh? What's wrong? Eastvale Road." Annie asked.
"Hmm~haha~oh~~" Eastvale didn't answer, but his whole body started to tremble involuntarily.
Shalum and Annie started to eat when they saw this, and then they both became excited, "Hmm!!!"
"Oh oh oh oh!!" Everyone in Jixing didn't realize it.
"When kneading the dough, I added Wasanbon sugar and honey to the flour, and also added tofu, so the dough is as smooth as silk! The filling is sticky and soft and melts on the tongue, and the mellow flavor spreads infinitely in the nasal cavity...
...Every time you chew a bite, it's like sparks bursting out in your mouth...With the light of the sparks, the slightly sour taste of the apple dissipates and disappears! The infinite deliciousness spreads in the mouth instantly, this super special sense of peace
It goes straight to the depths of my brain, it’s like an enlightenment!!”
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!! That's amazing! Well done! Xiao Hui!!" Yuji raised the sign again, awesome?(?＞?＜?)?Piece.
"Wow! All the judges have ecstatic expressions! It's time to explain, why is it so delicious?!" Kawashima Rei, whose character has changed, has not forgotten her job.
"The biggest secret is the apple butter smeared on the inner wall of the dough." Eastvale said, pushing up his glasses.
"Well..." Sissi Kubomomo's attention drifted over while she was just playing with the bears.
"Apple butter, as the name says, is made by adding grated apples, lemon juice and sugar, stirring well, then adding butter and simmering it. The sweetness of the apples, the sourness of the lemons, and the saltiness of the butter are perfectly blended.
, which greatly increases the richness of the taste." Eastvale said.
"However, to achieve this effect... you need special cooking techniques that can perfectly blend ingredients with different textures," Shaloum said.
"Yes! I used Monte au beurre! It's a French cooking technique!" Xiao Hui said very confidently, she was completely different from the usually cautious one.
In the spectator seat at a high place in the distance, Chef Shinomiya was looking at her with his arms folded, and smiled rarely, (?ω?), "Humph, it's true. Among the people I have guided step by step, you are definitely the best."
The slow one. However, although you are very slow, you...are by no means a fool!"
"Originally, I thought this matchup would be overwhelming, but I must admit now... this match greatly exceeded my expectations." Shalum said seriously.
"But... it still doesn't reach the ultimate sweetness and mellow aroma released by Sissi Kubotao's dishes." Eastvale said regretfully, touching his chin.
"Wowahhhhh!! Is it real or fake?! Xiao Hui...! Xiao Hui!" Everyone in Jixing was more nervous than Xiao Hui himself.
Annie said nothing. She looked at Xiao Hui and found that Xiao Hui was still looking at the judging table firmly, "She hasn't given up yet! Is there still more?"
Anne picked up a portion of the Dorayaki and continued eating.
I just took one bite and haven't finished it yet.
One mouthful, two mouthfuls, three mouthfuls, "Crack~" a light crisp sound came from Annie's mouth, and Annie stared and froze.
Sadatsuka Nao raised her head and smiled meaningfully, (?ω|||).
"What's wrong? Annie." Shalum asked.
"Huh? Uh-huh!" Annie closed her mouth and said nothing. She pointed at the dorayaki in her hand and made an eating gesture, ⊙ω⊙.
"Are you... asking us to continue eating?" Shalum raised his eyebrows, (?-?).
"Uh-huh! Uh-huh! I'm dizzy~" Annie nodded her head in a swish manner, nodding so hard that she almost turned herself yellow, ×_×.
Shalum and Eastvale looked at each other, picked up the dorayaki and took a big bite. "Crack~", the same crisp sound sounded in their mouths.
"Hmm!!" The two of them stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and also closed their mouths and became mute.
"Huh?! What's wrong? What's wrong? The judges' expressions have changed!!" Yuji held up the sign again, (⊙ω⊙)? What's wrong?
"Oh my god! The tasting is almost over! The judges have something new to say! Um? How can I speak Chinese?!" Kawashima Rei slapped her thigh on the Chinese host, scaring herself and looking confused. .
"Hey, hey, hey! Has the nationality changed?!" Shi Ke was confused.
"Ha~ It's so reassuring~!" The three judges were so stimulated that they collapsed on their chairs and let out a deep breath.
"It smells so good!! What an elegant aroma!" The audience present was once again shocked by the strong aroma.
This time the aroma actually came from the mouths of three judges.
"Uh? Xiaohui...what did you do?" Sissi Kubotao's face darkened.
"I see... there is a pink ball of floc in the center of this Dorayaki, which is compressed cold-fried dragon beard noodles!! And a lot of salted cherry blossoms are added to this dragon whiskers noodles! "Eastvale Road shows everyone the heart of Dorayaki.
"Dragon Beard Noodles?! The source of that aroma is Dragon Beard Noodles? The Dragon Beard Noodles that Sadatsuka Nao made just now?! She can actually make such fragrant food?!" The whole audience was shocked.
"Ehehehehe~~ You didn't expect that, did you? My aesthetics is tolerant of all kinds of things. Ehehehehe~~" Sadatsuka Nao raised her eyes and chuckled, (?ω|||).
"Just now when I heard that Takumi-kun was going to make Shigure-dashi, I suddenly had the idea of evolving my own dish through the difference in taste. But I didn't expect Sadatsuka to also think of it at the same time! I originally planned to I used Tacomijun's acerola ginger to make ginger applesauce that added a sour taste. Later, Sadatsuka helped me think of a better one, salted sakura dragon's beard noodles!! She told me that it can also be used with a slight amount of saltiness. Achieve the same effect! And without the astringent taste that ruins the elegant sweetness of the white bean paste filling! I didn’t understand the last benefit until I smelled the aroma of Damascus rose! The aroma of the dessert is what Sissi Kubo Momo and I learned. My biggest gap is the salted Sakura Dragon Beard Noodles, which helped me make up for this! The complementary flavors I thought of and the complementary flavor added by Sadatsuka sauce, my strongest winning hit has been completely completed!! Thank you You! Sadatsuka-chan!" Xiao Hui said everything.
"Hee hee hee hee~~ I'm here to avenge Sister Hisako! This is the revenge that I will try my best to do! Hahahahahaha~~! It's unlucky for you to face me!" Nao Sadatsuka covered her face with one hand. Looking up to the sky and laughing wildly.
"Saizuka-chan, great job!! So you are also good at fragrant ingredients?!" Yuki raised the sign, (??ω??)? Beautiful!
"Smell and smell are just smells! Being able to control smells is the basic skill of a chef! And I! I'm just better at strong flavors than the average person!" Sadatsuka Nao said calmly, (?ω|||).
"Satsuka! Well done!" Erina said.
"That's right! Sadatsuka-chan!" Hiisako said.
"Hisako-sama called me Sadatsuka-chan~~Miss Erina also took the initiative to praise me~~Ah! I want to kill you! Shoko Kabutoki! Just die for me!!" After Nao Sadatsuka was stunned for a moment, Just give chicken blood directly, (?˙ー|||)→??(◣д|||).
"Okay! The tasting is over! Let's vote! Who loses and wins depends on the number of votes given by the judges!" Kawashima Rei hosted.
Xiaohui was too nervous to open her eyes.
Shalum thought about it for a while, sighed, and voted for Sissi Kubotao.
Annie did not hesitate and voted directly for Xiao Hui.
"You two...you move so fast." Eastvale was embarrassed.
"We don't care about your vote, uncle." Anne flipped her hair.
"All right."
Eastvale hesitated for a long time and then stood up, "I have decided! My vote goes to Sissi Kubomomo!"
The whole audience immediately cheered and was frightened. Xiaohui was a little expected, a little relieved, but also a little unwilling, and her expression was very embarrassing.
"Please be quiet." Eastvale didn't finish his words, and bowed to Sissi Kubotao and Xiao Hui, "As an individual, I want to apologize to the two players for my incompetence. Because I judged this victory The basis for the negative is not the taste, creativity or even technique, but the extremely superficial appearance of the dishes. I can say that I can't tell the strength of the dishes on both sides. I'm sorry, I have to say sorry for my ability to judge!"
"Don't be like this. I can't tell them apart, judging by their appearance. I'm afraid it would take a special executive to distinguish the taste of these two dishes." Shalum said with a grimace.
"Yeah, yeah. I made a mistake. I'm sorry, uncle." Annie stuck out her tongue.
"Don't call me uncle! I'm just old!" Eastvale said.
"Um? Are you concerned about this?"
"I still need to practice. My tongue is not strong enough! My experience is not enough! The same goes for my vision! I can't tell the difference at all. It is a failure as an executive!" Eastvale sat down, his expression a little gloomy.
"Then taste it carefully and finish it." Annie picked up her dorayaki and ate it in big gulps.
"..., hum. That's right! Keep it in your heart forever!"
The three judges ate Xiao Hui's Dorayaki one bite at a time, leaving nothing behind. They did not just taste it but enjoyed it, enjoying it with all their heart.
Xiaohui returned to the rest area in front of the iron cage sadly.
"Xiao Hui, thank you for your hard work." Shi Ke greeted.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shi Ke..., hehehe, I lost." Xiaohui shook her head and changed to a more reassuring expression. At this time, she was still worried that others would worry about her.
"No, no, no, you did a great job! In terms of taste, they are evenly matched. Xiao Hui, you held back the strongest opponent, that's enough." Shi Ke gave her a thumbs up.
"Yes, yes! No need to apologize! You are already great! The comparison is beautiful!!..." The waves of comforting sounds in the iron cage made Xiao Hui's eyes red.
"I've already lost! All that's left is to try my best to cheer for Sadazuka!!" Xiao Hui forced a smile on her face.
"Yes! Sadatsuka-chan, come on!!" Yuki took the lead and added oil vigorously.
"Thank you for your hard work, Tadokoro-san." Erina walked to Xiao Hui's side.
"..., yes... I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to help Sadatsuka-chan and the others while finishing my own dishes... It seems I'm still too young. I'm going to apologize to Coach Shinomiya. He should be able to I am very disappointed. I think that I have done a very great thing by being able to compete with third graders. I..." Xiao Hui burst into tears as she spoke.
"Tasho-kun..." Erina didn't know how to comfort her.
"I'll call you back for the next game. I'll reserve a seat for Erina. Don't object. Damn it, you dare to bully the mascot of our Jiexing dormitory! I won't let your three views be ruined, and I'm not called Shike!!" Shi Ke came over and spoke directly.
"..." Xiao Hui looked confused.
"Why are you looking at me? Wipe your tears! Work hard!" Shi Ke pointed at Zhen Zhong.
"Yeah!!!" Xiao Hui wiped away her tears hard and shouted, "Come on! Sadazuka-chan!!"
