Chapter 218 Running Away From Home

According to the rule, whoever serves the food first will lose miserably.

Kurokiba Ryo, who moved a little slower, finally slowly pulled off his headscarf, his wild expression becoming lazy again.

"Huh~"

"It's not easy to win."

Then, Ryo took a deep breath and looked over at Hisako, who was paralyzed on the ground.

"Following the right person is very important, but you will only spend the whole day behind the eldest lady, like a pug that can only wag its tail, riding in front of you and behind the horse, and you will only accomplish nothing!"

"At most, you have become her little follower like now. You must rely on her to survive."

"And you yourself have no initiative at all."

"yes!"

"The master is prosperous."

"Dogs can also follow the food and drink spicy food."

"But if the person you follow is unlucky and goes downhill, then where should you go?"

"No!"

"No way."

"Miss Erina, she doesn't know how to..."

Fei Shasha screamed in despair, tears bursting out of his eyes.

She knew that she was always following Erina's footsteps and never thought of surpassing her.

Although she gained a lot of happiness during the whole process. But just as Ryo Kurokiba said, if Erina encounters a crisis in the future, what power should I use to protect her?

"Many people see me as Miss Alice's little boy, and they mistakenly think that I am inferior to her!"

"I don't know, I was able to overwhelm her a few years ago."

"You have been following Miss Erina, but you have never dared to surpass her cooking philosophy. In my eyes, you are very naive."

"Between chefs, there is only a competitive relationship between the weak and the strong, just like the law of the dark forest, either you die or I die."

"That's why you failed."

"After all, trying to follow someone's shadow will only lead to nothing in the end."

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Fei Shasha's heart. She had only one thought, and that was:

wrong?

Are you really wrong?

…

"Ryo, what are you so proud of?"

"A few years ago, I was always inferior to you, but now it's hard to tell!"

Alice, who was next to the judges' seat, overheard that when Chang Liang was mocking Fei Sha, he even used her own brush to do it, and couldn't help but feel very angry.

"Miss, I'm looking forward to your cooking showdown with mine next time after you win against Megumi Tadokoro."

At this time, Ryo Kurokiba walked down from the competition stage. When he passed by Alice, he paused briefly and said.

"With great pleasure."

"It's time for you and me to decide the winner."

"Before I can surpass Erina, I must win the autumn selection."

"And even if you stand in front of me, I will definitely defeat you without mercy!"

Alice's eyes flickered.

She knew that the road to the championship in this autumn selection would be full of blood and killing.

However, she is not afraid. Even if she suffers a mental breakdown like Feisha after failure, she will not feel afraid at all.

"Okay, let's wait and see."

After saying that, Kurokiba Ryo lazily left the competition venue.

…

"Fei Shasha, are you... are you... okay?"

Seeing the helpless Hisako, Erina couldn't bear it and hurried to the stage to comfort her.

Hisako stood up slowly, took a few steps back, looked at her with a firm look that Erina had never seen before, gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, I'm really sorry for you."

"No!"

"You're not sorry for me."

Hearing this, Erina hurriedly stopped her and said loudly.

Fei Shasha was startled, tears welling up in her eyes. She threw away her hand and said, "I have shamed you."

"Perhaps as Kurokiba Ryo said, the relationship between you and me can only be a competitive relationship between the weak and the strong, rather than a master-servant relationship!"

"I...I have been following you all my life and following your example, but I am obviously extremely unqualified as a secretary, so...so...you and I just part ways!"

After saying that, Fei Shasha was holding back tears.

Then he turned around and left the competition stage without hesitation.

"no."

"Fei Shasha, I...I..."

Looking at the back of the figure who suddenly left, Erina couldn't help but be stunned.

At this time, she seemed to have lost something important, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

I remember that last night, she had a heart-to-heart talk with Fei Shasha, but today it ended up like this.

…

"Just let her be!"

"She has been following you silently for most of her life, and she has never experienced any setbacks."

"In this quarter-finals, she was able to lose to Ryo Kurokiba, which allowed her to calmly think about her life goals again. I think this is not necessarily a bad thing."

Afterwards, Leonora stood up from the judging table silently.

He came to Erina's side, patted her shoulder lightly, and sighed.

"But...but..."

"I'm worried that she just left like that. If there's any danger outside..."

Erina's bright eyes were filled with worry.

"Do not worry."

"I believe that when she is desperate, she will definitely go to an izakaya."

"After all, there is no better place in the world than there. In short, nothing will happen to your secretary."

Leonora Nakiri's eyes flashed.

…

Food made from flour is pasta.

There are different types of pasta all over the world. In the East there are noodles, steamed buns, strips, mashi, sesame cakes, dumplings, steamed buns, etc. In the West there are breads, various kinds of scones, etc. There are many types.

Among all kinds of pasta, noodles are definitely the most common and one that everyone around the world can relate to.

so.

Because noodles are a popular food worldwide.

The topic of the cooking showdown between Alice Nakiri and Megumi Tadokoro is noodles.

After an hour of rest and adjustment, the second round of the quarterfinals officially began.

…

Nowadays, transportation is so fast and the flow of information is almost at the speed of light.

Many dishes can be perfectly copied and transplanted. Especially in the neon city of Tokyo, you can find French food, Italian food, top-notch kaiseki restaurants, steakhouses, sushi, and Chinese food that are all exquisite in detail. Cooking, etc.

Although in most cases, Tokyo is neither the birthplace of cuisine nor the origin of ingredients.

However, this prosperous metropolis has been able to establish a dense food network with its powerful "urban market", as if there is nothing that cannot be found or done in Tokyo.

But there is one thing. As soon as it leaves Kagawa Prefecture, its form completely changes.

This kind of thing is:

Udon noodle.

Speaking of Kagawa County in the northeast, this area is relatively close to Hui Tadori's hometown.

There is a kind of Takamatsu udon noodles in this area. This kind of noodles is much thicker than ordinary noodles, and it is relatively white.

This is probably because Neon Country mostly uses imported flour, which makes udon noodles, which is between cut noodles and rice noodles, taste softer. When paired with carefully prepared soup, it can be regarded as a delicious noodle dish.

Tian Suo Hui, first wash and slice the yellow beef and put it in a bowl.

Add oil, soy sauce, cooking wine and cornstarch, mix well and marinate for 15 minutes.

Wash broccoli and rapeseed.

Boil the water in the pot, add salt, add broccoli and rapeseed hearts and blanch for 2 minutes, remove and drain.

Whether it is the careful preparation of the noodles, or the process of washing vegetables and cutting meat from the beginning, you can see Tasokoro's attentiveness.

This is completely opposite to the scene in Division B yesterday where he was so nervous that he couldn't even hold a kitchen knife!

right.

She is very calm.

Moreover, it is terrifyingly calm.

“It is carefully made using ingredients such as traditional sake from Japan, soy sauce, spices from Japan, and dried fish skin.”

"In addition to the noodles chosen, it seems to be Takamatsu udon from Kagawa Prefecture."

"Hey, what a delicate technique."

"It seems that Alice is going to suffer a little this time."

As the judge, Leonora did not care about her daughter from the beginning, but watched Tadokoro Megumi making udon noodles in front of her eyes.

Finally, she sighed deeply.

…

Meanwhile, Alice here is adding cheese to coconut milk.

Then add a glue commonly used in molecular cuisine, carrageenan, and heat it.

After high temperature, these raw materials finally began to undergo chemical reactions, making it feel silky when pulled up.

Immediately afterwards.

Prepare a special tool, a needle.

Use this needle tool to suck up the cheese and coconut milk juice and push it out in ice water.

In this way, the noodles are formed.

Finally, use soy products to make beef.

Judging from the smell, price, and other aspects, the molecular cheese noodles she made are exactly the same as ordinary noodles.

Because this dish is somewhat deceptive, no one can identify it.

It is obvious that although the topic of the dish is noodles, the methods and understandings of both parties are completely different.

Tasori Hui used udon noodles, while Nakiri Alice chose to "create" noodles using coconut milk and cheese, and it was also a noodle with a chewier texture.

"Wow!"

"It turned out to be a different kind of noodles."

"Well, Tasoko Hui's udon noodles are indeed very appetizing."

"I originally thought she was an inconspicuous character, but unexpectedly she turned out to be the most anticipated."

"She can handle the anglerfish by hanging and cutting it all by herself. She has some strength, right?"

"Be good!"

"Tian Suohui, weren't you always ranked last in the past?"

"I remember that almost every assessment she took was E- and D-level. However, it seems that since the beginning of school, her cooking has been recognized and praised by the lecturer."

The audience at the venue was chattering, and they were inevitably surprised by the cooking style of the two.

…

Time passed a little, and soon both of them finished cooking the noodles.

Each noodle served on the ice in a bamboo box is as crystal clear as Jingdezhen porcelain. The noodles are flat and wide, not round and thick like the common ones.

The soup looks very simple, just like an ordinary soy sauce soup.

But in fact, there is a lot going on inside, and there is the so-called "juice", namely:

Stock made from seafood!

Then, on the flat and wide udon noodles, there is a larger piece of fried tofu. Because its color resembles the fur of a fox, it is known as "Fox Chowder".

Finally, add a handful of chopped green onions for decoration, and the ramen that belongs to Tanokoroe is truly completed.

Um!

To be more precise.

Tadokoro Megumi's noodle dish is an improved version of cold Inaniwa udon.

"That's true."

"The ones used are really Takamatsu udon noodles!"

"For this kind of udon, I remember that the dough needs to be mixed with salt water first."

"Because salt can promote the rapid formation of gluten in the dough, it can also make the noodles no longer so bland and tasteless."

"What's even more rare is that rice flour is added to the flour during the production process."

“The noodles produced this way are somewhere between cut noodles and rice noodles.”

"It tastes softer when you eat it."

Picking up the noodles and blinking at them, Leonora seemed to realize something.

Udon noodles can be eaten in many ways. They can be eaten cold or hot, with or without soup, boiled or stir-fried. They can be paired with simple medicinal flavors or rich side dishes.

But now, it can be seen that Tian Suohui in front of me chose the coldest way to deal with it.

"Yes, in order to give my best performance in the autumn selection, I made a special trip back to my hometown and brought a lot of local products with me."

Upon hearing this, Tian Suohui couldn't help but nodded.

…

Suck, suck, suck.

Suck, suck, suck.

The moment you enter your mouth, you just feel the noodles are lubricated.

The chewiness of the udon seems to be deeply integrated into the noodles, flawlessly and just right.

What's worth mentioning is the dipping sauce, which is made from bonito, sardines, herring and other types of bonito flowers and kombu. The fish taste is particularly rich.

Even with just the dipping sauce, it's delicious enough.

No exaggeration.

This is using strength to prove:

How delicious can a bowl of udon noodles, which are white, fat, thick, with sharp water chestnuts and chewy texture, be?

"Oh, it's really unexpected. I thought that this kind of udon noodles with local characteristics would not suit our appetite. But I never thought that this kind of cold noodles is gentle and delicate, and it makes people feel comfortable after eating it. It feels warm and energetic all over my body.”

As soon as the commander-in-chief took a bite, he couldn't help but slap the table, stood up with excitement, and then burst into tears while everyone was stunned.

"You're not dreaming, are you?"

"The cooking work at the end of the crane can actually make the commander-in-chief burst into tears?"

"This kind of growth rate may not be too scary!"

"amazing!"

"It seems that it is no accident or accident that she was recommended by the top ten to participate in this autumn selection."

…

"Okay, it's my turn."

Alice was also a little shocked that Tadokoro's cooking could make her grandfather burst into tears.

But then she calmed down and served her food.

"Braised beef noodles?

"No, it doesn't look like that."

Just after savoring the cold and refreshing taste of the cold noodles, the commander-in-chief was deeply attracted by Alice's molecular noodle cooking.

Then, driven by curiosity, he hurriedly tasted his granddaughter's cooking.

Hiss!

The next moment, he was naked again.

Such a fantastic yet realistic scene naturally shocked the audience again! (End of chapter)
