The central gastronomy agency wanted to stop the rebels, but the examiners' methods were really not very good. Not a single opponent was eliminated, which can be said to be a huge dereliction of duty.
"Are they really not good enough, or are they deliberately letting things slip?" Dulan suspected that the examiner was letting things slip. After all, the examiner was not sure how long the central gastronomy institution could exist. If the central gastronomy institution loses, the rebels will inevitably take over.
Being in the lap of a central food institution has offended the resisters. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for them once the situation is reversed?
Whoever wins, they will help. Before the outcome of the rebels and the central gastronomic institution is announced, it is best for them to be obedient and submissive, rather than anxiously binding themselves to the central gastronomic institution.
"They are all old fools, and they all obey the commander-in-chief's orders. Ye Shanhuang, you shouldn't be like this, right?" Du Lan looked at the newly appointed ninth seat, 'Ye Shanhuang'.
In order to protect the lord's spice research community, he joined the central gastronomy agency. Once he became a top ten, he could mobilize resources to continue to maintain the lord's research.
For him, there is no difference whether it is the central food institution or the opposition. All he cares about is whether the lord's research can continue. He will help anyone who can give the lord money to do research.
"Dulan, I am not in the same camp with you because I like you. I still maintain my original opinion. You are not a chef at all. But since the Central Food Agency has given a budget, I will cooperate with you to stop the rebels. No matter what
Who is the opponent?"
"Then have you ever thought about what if the central gastronomic institution loses and the rebels come to power to put the spice club in a bad position and force you to close down?" Du Lan asked with a smile: "If you really want to study spices, it's really because of lack of money, why?
Why don’t you sell some of the valuable spice plants you cultivate? Wouldn’t that make money? Why should you help the central food institution?”
"..." Huang Yeshan was speechless. He had not thought about being self-reliant, and he had also thought about seeking budget from outside the school. However, the central gastronomy institution blocked their way of cooperation with companies outside the school, and the herb club was stuck. As for researching spices and selling them by himself.
No, large-scale cultivation of spices requires land and fertilizer and will be stuck. Selling spices on a small scale cannot support research. Hayama Huang was forced into a desperate situation before joining the top ten.
If the Central Food Agency loses and the rebels gain power, will they target the Spice Society? He doesn't know.
"Do you think the Central Food Institution will lose?" Ye Shanhuang looked at Du Lan and asked: "If it will lose, why did you join the Central Food Institution?"
"I'm borrowing a chicken to lay an egg. Didn't you see that I borrowed the power of the Central Food Agency to line my own pockets and created my own magic kitchen army?" Dulan said with a smile: "I have become my own force, even if the Central Food Agency loses.
, the Demon Chef Army has not lost, and can form a resistance force. Even if the resisters win, they have to think twice before they want to move me."
Ye Shanhuang said: "After all, it all depends on your own strength. As long as I am strong enough, it doesn't matter who wins. Whoever wants to touch me, I can make them pay. Now that the Central Food Agency gives me a budget, I will complete the work
.If the rebels win in the future, as long as they are polite, I can still work for them. I have only one goal, so that the Spice Research Institute can continue to operate."
Yeshan Huang was also helpless. He didn't want to get involved in the fight, but unfortunately the reality was always unsatisfactory.
"That's a good idea. Let's try to get them to drop out of school."
At this time, Soma Yukihira and his team were sightseeing in the city. They turned into tourists and lingered in the night view of Hokkaido city. Eating ice cream in the cold wind was also a different experience.
Relaxing now is for the fierce battle that will follow. The next step will not be a one-sided exam, but a Shoji, a Shoji that risks dropping out of school.
After the break was over and they had replenished their energy, they dispersed to the third examination point.
Yukihira Soma came to a Western-style hotel.
"Hayama Ko?" The boy didn't expect to see his opponent in the autumn selection competition.
"You're here, then the next step is to risk dropping out of school." Ye Shanhuang stood on the balcony and looked down at the young man.
Yukihira Souma said: "Although it's great to compete with you again, if you are a Shoumagi, you need a judge. You can't judge your own food by yourself."
"If you are a judge, there is no need to worry. Everything has been arranged. Including this hotel, the venue used for the promotion examination is under the jurisdiction of Totsuki Resort. As one of the directors of Totsuki Resort, I am qualified.
The judges who recommended Shiji." came a voice.
Everyone looked and saw that Gin Dojima was here. He had served as a judge before and was quite fair. The person he recommended should be good.
"That's good." Xinghei Chuang really believed in the other party. After all, Dojima Gin was also his father's former friend, so he should not favor his opponent.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. The questions will be randomly selected from the questions that have been frequently asked in previous promotion exams. I have got the questions and will tell you now." He took out an envelope and had prepared it before coming.
alright.
When you open the envelope, you will find the theme inside: "The theme is - bear meat." It is legal to eat bear meat in the island country.
"You have to compete with each other with dishes where you can taste the best taste of bear meat."
The boy was dumbfounded. Bear meat? Although it is legal, you cannot eat it in small restaurants. It is very expensive.
Fortunately, we don’t have to cook right away. Dojima Gin said: “The cooking will be done in three days, and you can make preparations before that. During these three days, the hotel’s kitchen will be open for free, and all the ingredients, seasonings, and fuel you use can be used.
Free to use."
Ye Shanhuang asked: "What about bear meat? Do you prepare it yourself or do you prepare it in the academy?"
Dojima Gin said: "Don't worry, leave the bear meat to us. The academy has invited the most experienced butchers, who will use the best methods to dismantle and bleed the bear meat, and give you the best quality bear meat for your use, and other side dishes
You need to prepare the ingredients yourself, is there anything else you don’t understand?”
"I understand it all." Ye Shanhuang said: "Xinghei Soma, that's it. Shoji is betting on dropping out of school. It depends on whether you agree or not." Shoji still needs the other party's consent.
"It's just what I want to have a revenge battle with you. Since you intend to fight, then let it be as you wish. I will accept your halberd and drop out of school as a bet."
Hayama Huang said with great satisfaction: "This momentum is right. Let's see you in three days." He was very confident that even if it was bear meat, as long as it was combined with the right spices, he could cook a delicious delicacy that would make people dream of it.
The young man's fighting spirit was high, and then he looked at Dojima Gin and asked: "Senior, you won't also join the central food institution, right?"
"I have always remained neutral."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief. If they were all the other party's people, it would be dangerous.
Now is not the time to rest assured. The boy has never made bear meat before, so he doesn’t know how to make it delicious. He has never been exposed to things like bear meat.
"The quantity is so small, it's not enough for trial production." The young man was helpless, but the bear meat itself was not farmed, but hunted, so the quantity must be small.
Venison can be farmed, but bear meat depends entirely on hunting.
Food is divided into first-level food and second-level food. Vegetarian dishes are first-level food, and meat dishes are second-level food.
Second-level grains such as chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep all grow up eating first-level grains. How much first-level grains are needed to feed an animal is proportional. Raising bears requires more first-level grains, feed consumption and output.
The meat ratio is too different.
Moreover, most bears are omnivorous and eat meat, so they consume more feed. It is not economical to raise bears because they consume more food and produce less meat.
It can be said that most animals cannot be raised because of cost issues. If the meat is too little, the price will not go down. If the price does not go down, there will be fewer people eating it, the demand will be less, and the price will not go down.
Unlike chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and pigs, the ratio of feed consumption to meat production is very cost-effective, and they can be raised in large quantities. When the price goes down, more people will eat it. When more people eat it, the demand will be greater, and the price will be more affordable to the people.
If bear meat is only produced through hunting, the yield will be very small, and the quantity available for chefs to try out is also small.
Moreover, the taste of bear meat is very strong, so it is not easy to cook it deliciously. The young man must be careful when trying it.
"Let's try the simplest method of frying meat first. Use a hot oil pan to fry the meat to get the aroma." The young man started to try, cutting the meat into slices and cooking a little bit without wasting it. He didn't know that Hayama Huang on the other side was...
There is no limit to the amount of bear meat, so you can try it as much as you want. This is again a target, as central food institutions target opponents all the time.
