Fantasy System

( ) "Why haven't you come yet?"

Taking out the mobile phone, the time is coming to 11 o'clock, and there is only one hour left before the end of the game.

Nakiri Erina finally couldn't bear it and dialed a number: "Please help me find out where Mu Fan is, the second place in the last food festival."

After finishing the order, Nakiri Erina turned her attention to the big screen where the scores of the food festival were announced.

The current score has been announced. The first place is the fourth place last time, with a high score of 83 points. Except for the original tenth extraordinary performance and the second place, the rankings of the others have not changed much.

Of course, they won the first place entirely because the cooking of the three most concerned people in this game has not been done yet.

"Hisako Niito's cooking is complete!"

At this time, amid Rei Kawashima's reminder, everyone turned their attention to Hisako Nido in the first seat, and saw that her cooking had been completed.

"What kind of food is that?"

Under the strange eyes of the audience, Hisako Niito placed five bamboo tubes with scorched skins on the judging stand.

"This is......"

Qian Wuxia Ya also looked at the bamboo tube on the table in astonishment and asked.

"This is what I made, Bamboo Stick Fragrant Rice."

Hisako Niihu smiled slightly, then stepped forward and pulled the bamboo covering the bamboo tube away, revealing the rice hidden in the bamboo tube.

The moment the bamboo tube was opened, a fragrance of rice came out, even the four judges beside it could smell the fragrance of rice inside.

"It turned out to be like this. When the bamboo tube is heated with charcoal fire, the skin of the bamboo tube is burnt, and the rice inside is just cooked. Not only will it not have the smell of ordinary pots, but it will also make the rice full of the fragrance of bamboo."

Just seeing this kind of whimsical approach made Qian Wuxia Ya say something full of admiration, and then picked up her own spoon to scoop up a spoonful of rice and put it into her mouth.

The moment the rice entered the mouth, the fresh and strange fragrance instantly filled the whole mouth, and the breath from nature reverberated in her mind. In a trance, she felt as if she was in a fresh and quiet mountain forest, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

This feeling of tranquility and elegance,

She couldn't help but immerse herself in it.

After a long while, Qianyou Xiaya came back to her senses, looked at Xinhu Fei Sazi in shock and asked, "This bamboo is not an ordinary bamboo, so it can emit such a fragrance?"

"Um."

Nihu Fei Sako nodded, and said with a smile: "To be precise, this is called Xiangzhu glutinous rice, and this bamboo is called glutinous rice Xiangzhu, and the youngest bamboo is selected. This kind of bamboo is usually only as thick as a wine glass. , the bamboo section is more than 40 cm long. The glutinous rice cooked with glutinous rice and fragrant bamboo is easy to carry. It will not harden and regenerate within 10 hours. It can be eaten hot or cold. The rice is soft and delicious, melting the fragrance of glutinous rice and green bamboo. Fragrance in one."

"And this kind of fragrant bamboo glutinous rice is more suitable for entertaining VIPs than ordinary rice in bamboo tubes... We really experienced a VIP-level treatment."

Kojiro Shinomiya looked at Hisako Niihu with eyes full of praise and said: "And the glutinous rice chosen is soft and sweet, both in terms of texture and taste, it is much more delicious than ordinary rice."

"This taste, could it be..."

At this time, Dojima Gin exclaimed, and then smiled: "It seems that this is not a simple fragrant bamboo glutinous rice, which uses lean pork mixed with three ingredients of fragrant glutinous rice and black beans, plus an appropriate amount of salt. Roasted in bamboo tubes to make fragrant glutinous rice, not only smells delicious, but also tastes more addictive."

"This is the unique breath from the mountains!"

This fragrance spread across Dojima Gin's body in an instant, and the sound of clear spring water reverberated in his heart like the sound of a piano, making him feel at ease for a while.

"In addition, chopped lotus root slices and lotus seeds are added to the rice, which adds a more fragrant taste."

Chiba Natsuya glanced at the leaves when Hisako Niihu opened the bamboo tube just now: "Use banana leaves to seal the fragrance inside, so that it will not spread during the firing process, and it will be full of flavor. Thoughts, you really deserve to be Nakiri Erina's personal secretary, as long as you work hard, maybe you can be compared with Nakiri Erina."

Having received so many good comments, Hisako Niito couldn't help but smiled in surprise: "Thank you for the compliment, I just want to serve Erina-sama forever."

"Moreover, this kind of ingredients from the natural mountain forest is much better than the ones purchased from the outside world. It not only contains sufficient nutrition, but also can nourish the stomach and moisten the lungs. It really deserves to be a cook from a family of medicinal cuisine. …”

Hearing this, the two chefs from the American School of Culinary Arts looked unhappy, but although they didn't want to admit it, the bamboo glutinous rice was so delicious that they couldn't hide their hearts at all.

"Can you tell us the origin of your dish?"

Dojima Yin couldn't help asking curiously.

"Um."

Xinhu Fei Sazi nodded, and said with a smile: "This is our medicinal food family. We once met a Dai from China, and he made dishes for us. It is said that the Dai people have long-term production practices for fragrant glutinous bamboo. The extensive use of bamboo pervades clothing, food, housing, transportation, and many aspects. It can be said that bamboo has been closely related to their production and life.

"The ancestors of the Dai family passed down the habit of planting bamboo and using bamboo. There are many kinds of bamboo outside the house, and bamboo is used inside the house. Eat bamboo shoots, live in bamboo buildings, use bamboo chopsticks, eat bamboo rice, drink bamboo wine, drink bamboo leaf tea, and build bridges. Bamboo is used instead of wood and bamboo cages are used for flood control. Bamboo is used for buckets, baskets, tables, stools and other utensils. Bamboo hookahs are also used for smoking. Therefore, rice in bamboo tubes is a very delicious dish among ethnic minorities in China. "

"So that's it. This dish really comes from China."

Kojiro Shinomiya pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and couldn't help pursing his lips, thinking of the boy who made stone pot fish in the second scene.

This young man seems to be from China too, right?

It's a pity that I couldn't participate in the third game.

 …

"Then let the judges start scoring!"

In Rei Kawashima's voice, the score on the big screen began to jump rapidly.

18-18-18-18-19

Total score: 91 points!

Looking at the almost unanimous answers in the field, Kawashima Rei couldn't help but announced with a smile: "It seems that the first place you have appeared so far has been produced, suppressing the previous first 8 points, and getting the first breakthrough to 90 points in the audience. Hisako Nido with a high score above."

Hearing this news, the audience who originally supported Nakiri Erina couldn't help applauding. It seems that this little secretary is not only beautiful, but also has a well-deserved first-class strength.

In the entire arena, only Jie Nuo flashed a sneer on his face, continuing to make his own dishes.

Next up is Etsuya Eizan.

"This is, pizza?"

The five judges looked at the pizza in front of them with surprised expressions.

Oran James glanced coldly at Ruishaneda Tsuya, and said ironically in his tone: "But if it's just pizza, it's impossible to get a high score in today's competition. After all, just now Hisako Nido The bamboo glutinous rice that came on stage was really amazing. We eat a lot of pizza in the United States. It’s really inappropriate for this pizza to be played after it.”

Regarding the ridicule from the American School of Culinary Arts, Eizumi Rui didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Since you dare to take it up to the competition, it is naturally not a simple pizza."

"Um?"

The first person to taste the pizza was von Gerlier. She just took a bite of the pizza, and her eyes lit up immediately. The pizza in her mouth and the pizza she just bitten off seemed like she had eaten shredded food. , pulling out countless golden noodles.

This kind of taste with infinite elasticity surprised her: "Why does this pizza taste so good?"

"Could it be that more water was added when kneading the noodles, and the noodles themselves use unique high-gluten noodles, making the noodles softer and stickier than other noodles, and from the pizza process you just made Look, you actually did it all by hand? With such a difficulty, it would be more convenient to use a machine, right?"

Ruishan Zhijin also showed a smug look on his face: "Of course, real cooking skills are truly delicious dishes that are completely handmade without using any machines. As a chef, it is natural to have such a sense of fatigue."

Hearing this, the people in the auditorium also nodded. It is quite correct that human craftsmanship is better than food made by cold machines.

After all, if machines could replace humans, there would be no Yuanyue Academy and American Culinary Academy.

And a cook who doesn't use any machines is the most qualified cook.

At the same time, Dojima Gin, who used to be the first seat at Totsuki Academy with senior qualifications, cut a piece of pizza with a fork and put it in his mouth. After seeing the clues, he said: "First of all, the taste of this pizza has reached the extreme. Maybe you used long-fermented noodles before the competition? It seems that you, Eizan, have also made sufficient preparations to make this pizza."

Qian Wu Xia Ya was also immersed in the illusion of pizza. He felt as if he had come to a farm with beautiful scenery and an endless grassland: "Not only that, eggs and butter were also added to the flour during the dough fermentation process. But there is no egg white, only the deliciousness of the egg yolk, which makes this pizza full of egg flavor, which belongs to the taste of Italian farms.”

Kojiro Shinomiya took a bite, feeling as if his head was blown apart by the impact, staring at the pizza and muttering: "The vegetables used as the base material seem to have been treated differently from ordinary pizza..."

Ruishan Zhijin also explained with a light smile: "Actually, I cooked the vegetables as the base material for an hour at the beginning of the game, ground them, and smeared a layer of vegetables on top. The special tomato sauce forms the base material with a comfortable taste.”

"This flavor, with a strong impact, reminds me of the time when I ate pizza for the first time..." Still immersed in this wonderful flavor in my mind, Olan James couldn't help Confidence said: "The addition of black pepper, carrots and sugar in the base makes it full of flavor."

"This is simply the famous Italian pizza, Neapolitan pizza!"

Thinking back to such a dish that he was lucky enough to taste in Italy before, and unexpectedly being recreated by the students of Totsuki Academy, Olan James couldn't help exclaiming.

“It turned out to be Neapolitan pizza!”

Hearing the exclamation of Orlan James, the audience suddenly burst into exclamation. No wonder a piece of pizza aroused praise from the judges. It turned out to be a famous dish in the world, Neapolitan pizza!

"Ding--"

At this moment, with the flickering of the big screen in the arena, the final score finally arrived.

"93 points!"

This is two points higher than Hisako Nido!

As for Xinhu Fei Sazi, looking at the scores on the big screen, she was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and stayed where she was in a daze.

"Sorry, Nakiri Erina-sama, I couldn't do all of this..."

Hisako Nido looked at Nakiri Erina who was sitting in the audience seat with guilt in her heart.

She thought that she could help her most respected Master Nakiri Erina to win the first place in the food festival, but she never thought that she would lose to Rui Shanede, who was also one of the top ten with Erina-sama. Jin also.

In this case, the once oath of number one was blown away in an instant.

Seeing the distraught Hisako Nido, Nakiri Erina sighed helplessly.

In fact, the current scene is also in her expectation, Ruishan Zhijin is also one of the ten heroes of Yuanyue, because he is two years older than them, and his experience and cooking skills are much better than Xinhu Hisako However, it is normal for Hisako Niito to lose.

From the moment she temporarily lost her sense of taste, Nakiri Erina knew that even if Hisako Nido took her place in the competition, she would miss the championship.

For this, she pinned all her hopes on Mu Fan, but she never expected that Mu Fan, like her, would not be able to participate in the competition.

Ruishan Zhijin also pushed his eyes, his eyes were shining with wisdom and confidence, and he glanced at Hisako Niito with disdain.

In fact, in this match, the only one that made Ruishan Zhijin jealous was Nakiri Erina, and he didn't pay much attention to Nido Hisako.

Looking at the score on the big screen, Eizan Etsu also clenched his fists.

Since Xinhu Fei Sazi was defeated by him, he from Yuanyue Shijie won the first place in this food festival!

"Oh? Isn't it too early to be happy now?"

At this moment, a sarcasm brought Ezumi Ezumi back to reality, and Eyama Etsu also raised his head, only to see Jeno walking towards him with the prepared dishes.

Ruishan Zhijin also frowned, and when Jeno and him passed by, he sneered at him with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Miss fish, don't be happy!" It’s too early, the first one of this food festival belongs to our American Culinary Institute.”

"you?"

Ezuya Ruishan's expression changed, and when he turned his head, Geno had a faint smile on his face and stepped onto the judging stand with the dishes.

"beef hamburger?"

Seeing the dishes that Jeno brought to the stage, Ruishan Zhijin was also slightly taken aback, then frowned, and looked at the strange beef burger with serious eyes.

Except for Ezuya Ruishan, because Geno was the last player on the stage in the entire arena, the tens of thousands of spectators in the arena all focused their attention on him the moment he took the stage.

In the eyes of tens of thousands of people, Jeno didn't show any signs of panic. As he brought the beef burger to the stage, a tempting smell of meat spread from the plate.

This alluring aroma made the bodies of the five judges tremble.

Dojima Gin and Shinomiya Kojiro looked gloomy, and they were not in a hurry to taste the last dish.

On the side, the two chefs from the American School of Cuisine looked proud. They knew that as long as Jeno produced this American-style beef burger, he would definitely be the champion this time.

"smell good."

The first to make a move was Qianyou Xiaya, who did not belong to the two factions. The seductive aroma aroused her appetite. She swallowed, and then unceremoniously took a bite of the beef burger.

After biting off the bread on the outside, when the tip of the tongue just touched the beef inside, the teeth bit on the beef, and the fresh and tender gravy contained in it instantly splashed in the mouth, and the hot and flavorful taste stimulated everyone. On her taste buds, she couldn't help but groaned.

For a moment, the whole world in front of her changed. A merchant ship's whistle wafted past her ears. Qiangao Xiaya turned her head and found that she had come to a bustling port city.

In front of you is the endless sea. Looking back, you are a cook who warmly entertains customers and merchants. The cooking techniques there contain the traditional atmosphere of France, Spain, the Caribbean and Africa.

Here, it is New Orleans, which belongs to the United States!

When she came back to her senses, Qianyou Xiaya looked at Jie Nuo with an unconcealable shock in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Jeno's simple dish made her taste the unique flavor from New Orleans, USA.

The pungent taste of beef made Qianhua Xiaya take a deep breath, with an unconcealable flush on her pretty face, she looked at Jeno and asked: "It's so tender, why is the meat so tender, bite it down How can you be so happy?"

Jeno stood in the field and said with a faint smile: "Actually, I used a unique fruit when stewing the meat."

"What?"

Qian Wuxia Ya was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered the pineapple juice from the ground pineapple in the field before, and then her eyes widened: "So, pineapple juice, you used pineapple juice, soaked the beef in pineapple juice, In fact, pineapple juice is a natural meat tenderizer. Pineapple juice is rich in bromelain, which can help beef protein become soft and rotten. Because the earliest tender meat powder was purified from pineapple. It is healthier to use pure pineapple juice, stew it out The beef is also more fragrant, and the nutrition points are not reduced, but added."

"It's a clever use of pure natural technology..."

Kojiro Shinomiya was also surprised by Jeno's skills as a chef.

From this point of view, the American School of Culinary Arts is not only capable of scheming, but Jeno himself is also extraordinary in strength. The combination of the two has created such a terrifying Jeno.

At this time, Ge Lihua, who was tasting the beef burger, glanced at Shinomiya Kojiro Dojima Ginwa, who did not speak, and smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Shinomiya, Mr. Dojima, as the judges , Aren't you going to taste the last contestant's food?"

"Hmph, since it's your school of American cuisine, as an old friend, it's natural to have a taste."

Kojiro Shinomiya frowned and said indifferently, then looked at the beef burger on the plate like Natsume Sentou, and took a big bite.

Immediately, the fresh and tender gravy and flavor instantly filled his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Because he understood that the production technology of this beef burger was enough for Jeno to win the championship of this food festival.

In that remote port of New Orleans, grilling and cooking techniques are prevalent, and people love to eat meat, and Jeno's beef burger fits this just right, and puts a lot of effort into beef.

Recalling the taste he just tasted, Shinomiya Kojiro sighed and explained: "Although it seems to be a simple beef burger, it uses unique and exquisite cooking techniques from New Orleans to make beef burgers, and Before stewing the beef, garlic, thyme, cumin powder, dried chili and other spices are spread on the beef, just like making steak, so that the beef is full of the slightly spicy and appetizing barbecue flavor from New Orleans.

"This kind of taste satisfies people's desire to eat, and it is the most well-deserved beef burger." Almost unwillingly, Kojiro Shinomiya made this evaluation.

"Well. With the ketchup on both sides of the beef burger, and a layer of special patties in the middle, it is delicate and rich without losing weight."

Seeing the five glasses of milk served by Jeno again, Dojima Yin sighed in his heart. This beef burger will be eaten together with beef, and the taste will be sublimated again.

Although he didn't want to admit it, facing such a delicious dish, even if he didn't give a score, the audience and other judges who came on stage would give corresponding scores.

From this simple hamburger alone, it can be seen that Jeno surpassed the previous contestants in terms of cooking and knife skills, as well as the technology of utilizing ingredients.

From this point of view, the champion of this food festival is self-evident.

95 points!

In the end, the score on the big screen reversed again. Seeing this scene, Ezuya Eizan's original confidence was swept away in an instant.

He finally understood what Jeno said just now, and then he recalled that he clearly had the potential to become the first seat in Yuanyue Academy, but because he was addicted to the development of business, he put away the cooking technology, which caused the cooking technology to keep improving not before.

This food festival is the greatest proof for him, and it also made him realize himself again.

"It seems that I need to study cooking techniques more in the future."

Feeling lost in his heart, Ruishan Zhijin also sighed, turned and left the food festival without hesitation.

Although there are rewards for the top ten, for him, failing to get the first place is the biggest failure.

But even in the face of such a great pressure, this failure will not hurt him, but will become the driving force for him to move forward in the future!

Because he wants to be worthy of the ninth seat of Totsuki Academy, who is known as the alchemist.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is not having the courage to stand up again.

Seeing the departure of Ezuya Ruishan, who was originally ranked second, Jeno raised the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer.

At this time, Oran James also turned his gaze to Dojima Gin and Shinomiya Kojiro and asked, "Since all the contestants have finished, shouldn't it be time to announce the final results of the food festival?"

"Fifty minutes."

Dojima Gin shook his head gloomyly: "Don't you think it's a bit too anxious to announce this?"

"Does Mr. Dojima Yin want the audience to stare at the current empty arena?"

Ge Lihua on the side sneered disapprovingly: "Isn't this going on like a waste of everyone's time?"

Kojiro Shinomiya frowned. It is true that now that the contestants are finished, no one wants to keep staring at the empty arena. Just like the curtain call of a movie theater, how many people can see the cast list.

But now, they really don't want Yuanyue to lose to the American School of Cuisine so easily, they hope that Mu Fan can come back and defeat Jie Nuo.

But looking at the time, Dojima Gin smiled wryly. There were only forty-five minutes left, so what if he came?

After waiting for another five minutes, and because of the delay in announcing the takeover of the game, there was already a noisy discussion in the spectator seats.

Seeing this scene, Nakiri Erina and Isshiki Kei, who were at the back of the auditorium, understood that the spectators in the field couldn't wait any longer.

During this kind of time, it would be fine if there were still contestants in the competition, but at present there is no one, and the result has not been announced yet, no one is willing at all.

After all, they all bought tickets to come in.

"Mu Fan, where did you go?"

Nakiri Erina clenched her fists tightly, her palms were already covered with sweat due to nervousness, at this moment, she could only pin her hopes on Mu Fan who did not make it to the arena.

Kawashima Rei stood on the stage alone, even as a socialite and host, she didn't know what to say, after all, she couldn't stand on the stage to chat with others, after all, no one was cooking.

After a moment of silence, Rei Kawashima could only walk up to the judging stand, and whispered to Gin Dojima and Kojiro Shinomiya: "Seniors, shouldn't it be time to announce the results?"

"Forget it, let's announce."

Dojima Gin also understood that this matter could not be delayed any longer, so he could only order someone to find the main person in charge this time, Nakiri Senzao Gatekeeper.

Seeing the scores on the field, although Nakiri Senzao Gatekeeper is the head coach of Totsuki Academy and the person in charge of this food festival, he can't make any changes according to the regulations, so he can only sigh and leave. When I got to the stage and looked at the scores on the big screen, I announced loudly: "Then I announce that the winner of this competition is..."

"Wait a minute!"

Before Nakie Xian Zuomen guard finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from a distance, and everyone turned their heads, only to see a young man dressed in black with a handsome face at the door on the first floor, leading two girls , quickly ran to the field.

At this time, the boy raised his head and looked at the time and score on the big screen, with a smile on his face.

Although there were some twists and turns on the road, we finally caught up.

"Mu Fan?"

Seeing this figure, all the contestants and audience present showed different expressions. Kosaka Honoka and Nakiri Erina had expressions of hope and excitement on their faces.

But the faces of the people from the American School of Culinary Arts became ugly.

Jeno, who was almost standing at the championship position, also stopped when he heard the shout at the door, turned his head, and saw Mu Fan who was walking quickly to the field, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

Because at the moment when he looked at Mu Fan, he happened to meet Mu Fan's cold eyes, and then in his line of sight, the corner of Mu Fan's mouth moved slightly.

At this moment, Jie Nuo actually read what Mu Fan said from his mouth.

"Your number one, I want it!"
