The school did not let the opposition take the exam in the ice and snow, but cooked indoors with everyone. If the opposition was frozen outdoors, they would be eliminated in the first exam, and some of them would even freeze to death.
"The first exam is a group competition of teamwork. Everyone makes dishes in groups of five. If they do not meet the passing standards, the five people will sit together and drop out of school. The group list is determined by the school, and you can take the exam directly after entering the examination room."
The staff directed the students to enter the exam venue. The first exam was a group exam where everyone could cooperate.
But when everyone looks at the list of groups, they will understand that the opposition is grouped together, making it easier to target them.
"The intention is too explicit." Soma Yukihira knew that this was targeted when he saw that the other four people were Tagumi E, Nakiri Alice, Kurokiba Ryo, and another girl from Jokusei dormitory.
Alice said: "Haha, it's just what I want. It's just the right time to gather our strength to surprise my uncle and let him know that Totsuki Academy is not a place where he can control the sky with one hand. By the way, I heard that Erina gave a lecture on Hokkaido at Jokusei Ryo.
, you should come to me, what I will tell you will definitely be more detailed and practical than hers."
These cousins compete with each other all the time.
"Okay, everyone is ready, come and get your own ingredients." An old woman said: "I will be your examiner today. The theme is salmon. As long as you can make delicious salmon dishes that I approve of,
You can pass this exam."
Salmon? This group of boys is quite good at fish dishes. After all, there are two fishing port boys and girls, Kurokikiba Ryo and Tagokoe. Their hometowns are both fishing ports, and they are all familiar with fish dishes.
But the examiner hadn't finished speaking yet and continued: "Everyone has attended the special course given by the Commander-in-Chief. As long as you reproduce the dishes you learned at that time, you will definitely be able to meet the passing standards. Let's cook step by step."
A group of teenagers were dumbfounded. Has there ever been such a course?
Yes, it was Nakiri Thistle who revealed the questions in advance and specially taught the contents of this year's exam to the first-year students who had surrendered to him.
"We will not use such despicable means to cheat. If we have to make very delicious food to be qualified, then as long as we work hard to do it well, it will be fine." The opposition people shouted, and they would never surrender.
But the boy said: "If we are forced to surrender, why should we choose the ingredients we are good at? It stands to reason that when they were divided into groups, they had already considered our areas of expertise and should avoid them." Xingping
Chuangzhen said doubtfully.
Alice Nakiri also frowned and said: "That's true. It makes sense. If the test question asks for a fish ingredient that we are good at, wouldn't it mean that we would be guaranteed to pass? Could it be that this examiner is also duplicitous, saying that it is difficult even though our cooking is delicious?
eat?"
"If that's the case, it would be terrible." Tadokoro was worried. If the examiner misled the delicious food they made, they would have no chance of winning.
This kind of thing happened to Soma Kohei during the entrance exam. His food was delicious, but Erina Nakiri said it was unpalatable, so he failed to enroll. In the end, the dean personally revised the admission result, and he
Just enrolled in school.
The same can be said when entering high school. If the food is delicious but is said to be unpalatable, they will have to drop out of school.
This is the easiest way to drop out.
The opposition thought about this possibility, and everyone looked unhappy.
Yukihira Soma encouraged everyone: "Then make something delicious that the examiner can't lie to!" He believed that lying was vulnerable in the face of delicious food.
Everyone nodded and decided to take action.
"Now get the ingredients." Each group has a salmon.
It all looked fresh, but when we arrived at the opposition group, everyone was dumbfounded because it was inferior goods of the lowest quality.
Kurokiba Ryo saw the problem at a glance: "The best season for eating salmon is autumn. Now that winter has entered, the output of salmon has been very small. Moreover, our fish's physical strength has declined after spawning, and the taste has declined."
Waiting for fish. But the fish in other groups are obviously fresher and more energetic."
"How could it be?" Everyone realized that this was the target. Even the ingredients were of poor quality, how could they make delicious food?
"Okay, let's start the exam now." The examiner said: "The exam time is from now to sunset. And if you think the ingredients are not good, you can find other salmon by yourself. As long as you can find it, I allow you to use it. But you should
I also know that the best period for catching salmon has passed. All the high-quality salmon on the market are thanks to Totsuki Academy in Hokkaido. No, it is the control of the distribution pipeline of the entire island country’s food. In short, you will definitely not be able to find it now.
It’s absolutely impossible to produce salmon that reaches acceptable standards.”
The examiner has opened the champagne in advance and seems to have expelled the opposition from the school. He is extremely happy.
Facing this exam that is full of prejudice and unfairness, the opposition is also very serious. Time is limited, and they must come up with ways to deal with the ingredients as soon as possible.
"Haha, I was worried at first that she would confuse right and wrong. If she only targets us on the ingredients, I can breathe a sigh of relief." Alice Nakiri said confidently: "It's time to show her real skills and let them know
The strength of our opposition."
Everyone doesn’t have much resistance to stale ingredients. There are ways to make stale food, just use your imagination.
After all, since ancient times, chefs at home and abroad have faced the problem of how to store food and how to turn waste into treasure...
Turning perishable things into new delicacies is an area that chefs have been exploring for a long time.
The freshmen who surrendered to Nakiri Hisashi saw the opposition's misfortune and were very proud. They must be proud. How can they show that they have made the right choice if they are not proud?
Fortunately, they had surrendered and were able to pass the exam smoothly. Those idiots who did not surrender would be expelled from school. So their choice was right, and the opposition was wrong. It was a big mistake.
Sometimes people cannot have no regrets after making a choice. They must constantly belittle other choices in order to reflect the superiority of their own choice and be firm in their choice.
If students who don’t surrender to Nagi Kirito can pass the promotion exam, then those students who surrendered didn’t surrender in vain? How can they accept it?
So they are eager for all the opposition to drop out of school, so that they can prove that their choice is correct.
Opponents found that the students around them were laughing at and despising them, which put them under great pressure.
But as a student who can eat in front of an audience, this pressure is nothing. How can he be a chef if he is not thick-skinned?
Yukihira Souma is thinking, not only about ways to revive the salmon, but also about the strengths of each person in the team. If everyone's abilities can be used, he will definitely pass this exam.
"There's not enough time." Xingping Sozhen thought for a moment. Although brine, air-drying, and pickling can make the fish rejuvenated, the problem is that these methods all require time.
"Is it true that we can only find other salmon? The question is, are there really suitable salmons in this season?" Everyone heard Soma Yukihira say that there was not enough time, but there was nothing they could do about it. To preserve the ingredients, it really took time to process them.
Yukihira Soma continued to think and recalled Nakiri Erina's lecture. At that time, she said that there are many food preservation techniques in Hokkaido, among which there may be techniques for preserving salmon, and the store may even have salmon ingredients.
"Haha, it will be over when the sun goes down. Even if you can think of a way to deal with it, there is no time. Hahaha, you will lose." The examiner said proudly: "This is the consequence of resisting the commander-in-chief. Just drop out of school.
.”
But how could the opposition admit defeat? The young man had an idea and said: "Everyone, take action, we will discuss on the road." After that, he led the opposition and left the venue. Since the examiner allowed them to find their own ingredients, they will go hunting now.
He remembered that Erina Nakiri introduced a good freezing method. If you use this method to preserve summer salmon until winter, you can still win as long as you find this kind of salmon.
This is the importance of learning. Nakiri Erina introduced almost all the restaurants and food suppliers in Hokkaido, including what storage techniques they used.
Now the young man put his knowledge to use and broke through the enemy's blockade. He and his teammates went out to contact the merchants and asked if there were suitable salmon. If so, they were willing to buy it at a high price.
