At nine o'clock the next morning, Shi Ke and Mouri Kogoro arrived at the cooking classroom.
As soon as I walked in, I said, "Hey, Shi Ke. We are actually assigned to the same class." We happened to meet Yukihira and Xiaohui.
"Hello, Mr. Shi Ke, Mr. Mao Li." Xiao Hui greeted.
"How come we are assigned to the same class today?" Yukihira said.
"I don't know either." Shi Ke said, spreading his hands.
"I heard that today's lecturer is Chef Shinomiya! Ah? Isn't that the end? I heard that he fired more than thirty people yesterday!" The students were talking.
"Sigong? Who is here? It sounds familiar." Shi Ke touched his chin and raised his head.
"Shike-kun, you had a conflict with him in the hotel banquet hall yesterday morning." Mouri Kogoro said with a speechless expression.
"Brother with pink hair and glasses?"
"..., um." Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment and nodded speechlessly.
"Oh." Shi Ke nodded calmly, but in his heart, he was panicking.
Why is Mao a vengeful person?
After a while, Chef Shinomiya came in with a stack of A4 papers and asked everyone to distribute them.
"Good morning, I am Shinomiya, a graduate of the 79th class. Have you distributed the recette (recipe) to everyone? This topic is to ask everyone to make the dishes I designed." Shinomiya said.
Shi Ke looked at the menu. The French appetizer menu includes French jelly with nine kinds of vegetables.
(This is a gorgeous dish composed of a variety of colorful vegetables. And the nine vegetables must be processed and cooked separately, and each vegetable cannot be too prominent or lacking. Therefore, it is very difficult to integrate the flavors
.However, except Shi Ke, this guy can put together ten kinds of dishes with different flavors and nine kinds of single vegetables. Haha, it’s a piece of cake.)
Shinomiya looked at the embarrassed students and raised the recipe in his hand, "I specially chose recette, a simpler dish in my recipe. Do you want something more difficult?"
"Damn it!!..., I really want to beat him..." Many students said in their hearts.
"This is too much to beat." Shi Ke thought.
"Also, this subject is not divided into groups. Each of you has to make a dish. Exchanging information and providing suggestions is prohibited during the preparation. You can freely choose from the mountains of ingredients piled on the table at the back of the classroom. Let me give you a suggestion.
It is wisest to treat everyone around you as your enemy!" Shinomiya said.
"..." Shi Ke felt a chill and raised his hand with some uncertainty, "Teacher, are you sure you want me to treat everyone as my enemy?"
"certainly."
"Oh." Shi Ke looked at the others with a smile.
Everyone took a step back collectively, including Yukihira, Xiaomei and Mouri Kogoro.
"This guy seems to be thinking something wrong again? No! He must be thinking something wrong!!" Xingping had an ominous premonition.
"Stay away!! This beast-like feeling is dangerous! Very dangerous! Very dangerous!" Mouri Kogoro relied on the hunter's intuition to stay away further.
"Why did Mr. Shi Ke suddenly become a little scary..." Xiao Hui thought.
"The time limit is three hours. So..., let's get started!"
"Ah! Grab it quickly!!" The students rushed towards the food table.
"Get out of my way!!" Shi Ke rushed forward, holding the collars in each hand, and threw them all away in a flash. In an instant, the food table was cleared of everyone, leaving him to choose slowly.
The students at this table were all in a state of confusion. They only dared to watch but not go up to the table. They waited for Mr. Shi Ke to choose such a dish and then competed with others.
"Hmm. This one is pretty good. That's it. You take your pick." Shi Ke walked towards another platform, and then someone else flew away.
"You...can you not throw people away?" Shinomiya couldn't stand it anymore.
"Teacher, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. And it is most correct to use one's greatest advantage to treat the enemy!!" Shi Ke turned around and said with his tendons exposed.
"..." Shinomiya was speechless. Who asked him to treat others as enemies?
This guy is actually serious!!
For more than ten minutes, there was a chaotic scene near the cooking table that could not stop for a long time.
Wherever the stone guest went, not a blade of grass grew.
After grabbing the food, the male compatriots were dressed in rags (the stone guest tore them casually), like a beggar parade after a typhoon.
Shinomiya sat on the sofa, covering his eyes but not seeing anything.
Where did such a savage beast come from?
Everyone started cooking, and the picture was great.
"Shi Ke, are you serious!" Xingping straightened his collar that was pulled askew.
"Huh? Why are you still going to get the food, Xiaohui? Didn't you get it just now? No way? I have thrown away all the men, and you haven't grabbed the food yet? Isn't that too gentle? No! I took it when I went to another station
People were so frightened that they went to the cauliflower table. Could it be that there were too many people and she didn’t get the food?! It’s over! She did something bad with good intentions!” Shi Ke noticed that Xiao Hui walked towards the cauliflower table pitifully, and then his face was filled with tears.
I looked sad as I picked out the cauliflower. After thinking about it, I felt cold.
"Shi Kejun is so awesome. Because of him, the other ingredients were better, but there were too many people on the cauliflower table and they couldn't squeeze in. It's over. Now the remaining cauliflower here is oxidized and damaged.
This will affect the most important appearance of the French jelly! What should I do? Chuangzhen-kun... No! I have to rely on myself, and I can't always bother Chuangzhen-kun and Shike-kun! Maintain the color of the dishes..., maybe. This way
Okay." Xiao Hui thought for a long time, pursed her lips, and picked up the not so good broccoli.
"Yeah. That's right. Don't think too much, just do it." Shi Ke turned back to his own affairs.
When the cooking started, the classroom became very quiet, with only the simple sounds of chopping vegetables and boiling water.
After a while, a student started talking, "That doesn't seem to be the case with yours, right?"
"Ah? Oh. Thank you."
"Hey! You two dropped out of school." Shinigong pointed at the door and said coldly.
"Teacher, he just reminded me that I did something wrong?"
"This is to provide advice and help. Drop out of school. You are eliminated." Shinomiya showed no mercy.
The two were just eliminated and walked out of the classroom with their heads lowered.
"We've already said we can't help each other. But if you dare to openly remind us, you're courting death." Shi Ke shook his head.
An hour later, Shi Ke brought the dishes to Sigong.
"Huh? It's ready so quickly?"
"Yes. My name is Shi Ke. Please taste it."
"..." Shinomiya picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece, put it in his mouth, and tasted it slowly.
"Huh?! The selection and processing of materials are perfect! The adhesion of the aspic is perfect! The degree of condensation and heating is also perfect! The control of the fire is also perfect! There is no waste of time. This is simply a perfect work that only exists in my ideals
Ah! Even I can't make such a perfect dish the first time! What's going on with this guy? Where did he come from? This delicacy that is completely different from the appearance is really great.
It’s scary!” Shinomiya was a little frightened.
"Teacher, am I qualified?"
"Yes. Passed." Shinomiya pushed up his glasses, pretending to be calm.
"Thank you, teacher." Shi Ke returned to the kitchen counter to tidy up the kitchen utensils.
Sigong looked at Shi Ke's back and couldn't take his eyes away for a long time.
"Sure enough, Mr. Shi Ke passed the test in one go. He's so strong!" Most of the students thought so. They couldn't help but say that they gritted their teeth and didn't dare to speak. (There are lessons to be learned from the past!)
Time passed minute by minute.
Most people have started to serve food.
"Drop out of school."
"Drop out of school."
"Drop out of school."
…
The judgment of fifteen consecutive expulsions caused the sixteenth student to be expelled from school to collapse, "Let me try again??"
"Do you still have any material?"
"..."
"There is no material and no time. If you can successfully pass this level, then you will be a magician who has surpassed me."
"..." The student lowered his head and left the classroom.
"Soma Yukihira. Please taste it." Yukihira served the dish.
"Hmm... Soma Yukihira, qualified."
"Huh..." Yukihira breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mouri...Mouri Kogoro! Please taste it!" It was Mouri Kogoro's turn.
"Well..." without saying a word.
"..." Mouri Kogoro also did not dare to speak and was trembling.
"Barely qualified."
"Huh...Thank you. Thank you!!" Maoli returned to the cooking table with the French jelly he had made.
Shi Ke gave him a thumbs up, and the guy was very happy.
"It's done." Xiao Hui is done.
"Drop out." One unlucky guy was eliminated.
"Huh..." Xiaohui took a deep breath and served the food.
"Tasoko,..., dropped out of school." Shinomiya's judgment.
"..." Xiao Hui stood on the spot, trembling all over.
"Huh? Is it okay?" Shi Ke walked over to Xiaohui and took the French jelly she made, then walked back to the cooking table and took a bite, "Huh? It's completely fine?"
"Okay, so everyone has handed it in, right? The students who failed will pack their bags and go back to the hotel lobby to assemble."
"Please...please ask, why...why did my food fail?" Xiao Hui summoned up the courage to ask.
"You used white wine vinegar when poaching the damaged cauliflower, right? Use vinegar with a bleaching effect to maintain the appearance of the dish. Vinegar is also used in the seasoning to make the sweetness of the cauliflower more obvious, and the vinegar has a light sour taste.
It creates a very harmonious flavor with the sweetness of the cauliflower.”
"Then...then why..."
"Who said you can change the recette?"
"This dish is a concerto for tasting the sweetness and deliciousness of various vegetables. Is there any mention of using sourness in recette? What you are making is completely different from recette. I can't hand it over.
Of course the person who cooked the dishes failed. Are you convinced?"
"..."
"I can't be convinced at all!!" Xingping said, "This is simply a force majeure factor. The reason for the change is because the ingredients are mixed with vegetables that have begun to lose their freshness! After all, we are regarded as seniors.
His staff, right? Then Shinomiya-senpai should be responsible for ensuring the quality of the ingredients, right? So this is a dereliction of duty on your part as the chef."
"You little brat...who are you talking to!?" Shinomiya was furious, "It seems that you don't understand very well! Let me tell you! The cauliflower in poor condition was my attempt to lower the qualifications.
The number of people was put in deliberately.”
"!!" The students were collectively stunned.
"Huh?" Shi Ke was stunned when he heard this, "Maoli, let me try your dishes."
"Oh." Mouri Kogoro put his dishes in front of Shi Ke.
"Cauliflower has the three characteristics of being easily oxidized, easily damaged, and difficult to cook. It is also a vegetable that requires special attention. Those who lost their composure and did not recognize this point were judged as unqualified by me. They were too slow and did not get it.
So are the suckers for good ingredients!”
"So, in order to make up for his slow movements, Tadokoro should use his creativity to deal with it!!"
"I am the chef, how can I tolerate a busboy... changing my recipes at will!! Listen up! If you, the busboy, continue to talk back to me, I will use my rights as a chef and fire you too.
Lose!!"
"What did you say?!" Xingping was so angry that he couldn't help it on the spot.
"Chuangzhen-kun! Forget it! I...it doesn't matter..." Xiaohui hugged his arm.
"Ah?! Is now the time to say such depressing words!!"
"Haha... forget it... I... my... my business will end here. Haha..." Xiao Hui was forcing a smile.
"..." Xingping gritted his teeth, filled with anger, and threw away Xiaohui's hand.
"Senomiya-senpai! I have one more thing to confirm."
"What else do you want? Mr. Yukihira?"
"It's more of a problem than a complaint. Totsuki's rule should also apply to graduates, right?"
"……,What did you say?"
"Hoo!! Boom!!" A black shadow flashed past, pushing Shinomiya to the wall.
"Of course it's the Shokki!!" Shi Ke said with a smile on his face while leaning against the wall. A sunken pit full of cracks appeared under the palm of his hand that was supporting the wall.
"..., does this guy want to kill someone?" Shinomiya was hit so hard that his glasses were crooked.
Xiaohui and Yukihei were very frightened. Kogoro Mori was so frightened that he fainted.
