Chapter 103 The Ultimate Taste

In the end, Si Yingshi's dish scored 97 points!
Infinitely close to full marks!

Unanimous praise!
Even though she still had some fears about this dish, Nakiri Masaki still honestly gave it a high score.

After all, that taste is so addictive!
If Soma Yukihira's cooking is a novel combination, the devil-horned crocodile is used to support the taste of other ingredients.

Caibo Chaoyang made perfect use of spices, truly harnessing the flavor of the devil horned crocodile through curry.

Then Si Yingshi's dish is the ultimate!
The ultimate in simplicity!
All processing is to emphasize and enhance the flavor of the devil horned crocodile!
"Ah, ah, the young are really to be feared."

97 points is a score that is almost impossible to exceed.
Dojima Gin looked solemn and said with emotion.

He then left the judges' table.

The food had been steamed for a sufficient amount of time, and he returned to his kitchen counter with a solemn expression to carry out the final steps.

It is worth mentioning that at this moment he has changed into new clothes prepared by the butler.
Just now, after the two people from the Nakiri family ate Tsukasa's food, they activated the Unbuttoning Technique (transmitting wave to make people's clothes fall off) and the Clothes Ripped Technique (clothes are shattered into pieces) at the same time!
Except for the two God's Tongues, the outer clothes of everyone present were torn to pieces.

This is an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of the Nakiri family's inheritance!
And looking at the intensity of the fluctuation, it was unknown how far it had transmitted. What made Nakiri Senzaemon relieved was that he had already arranged for the servants to leave in advance, and the mansion was large enough, so the fluctuation should not be transmitted outside.

"Knew it"

When seeing the ratings of Eiji Tsukasa's cooking, Soma Yukihira was silent for a moment.

The first thing that came to my mind was that my cooking was once again defeated.
I'm a little unwilling.
But then he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"That's amazing, Senior Si!"

An even more passionate desire to fight filled his chest.

Even though he was topless at the moment, he didn't notice.

He was planning to challenge Si to another competition later, and he was also very curious about how Si Yingshi processed the ingredients and the taste of the dish.

Cai Bo Chaoyang on the side restrained the smile on his face.

It had only been a few minutes since his earlier confident declaration.

The glaring score of 97 was like a slap in the face to him.

He realized he might lose from the judges' reactions when they tasted the food.

After all, the fact that the judges had this expression when they ate Si Yingshi's food after tasting his food proved that his food taste blockade was ineffective.

This shouldn’t be the case. Shouldn’t you just take a few bites and then put it down?

This was completely different from what he had imagined.

Defeat was something Caibo Chaoyang could not accept.

He vowed to surpass Yukihira Seiichiro. In his heart, Seiichiro was the best chef. But now, before they even met, he lost to the so-called number one chef in Totsuki before defeating him. How could he accept this?

At first, he didn't care much about the so-called first place in Totsuki.

In his opinion, most of these chefs in the open are not as strong as the late-night chefs who work in the dangerous environment of the dark and risk their lives.

The only person present who could make him care a little bit was the woman he considered to be the only one worthy of him, Erina Nakiri, the Divine Tongue!
And Seiichiro's son, Soma Yukihira!
I didn't expect that I would be defeated.
Caiba Chaoyang narrowed his eyes and looked at Si Yingshi and the other party's unique grinding knife.

It seems that there is one more person to defeat before defeating Seiichiro.

But now he didn't expect that what happened next would make it even more difficult for him to accept.

Erina Nakiri, 93 points!
The score is so close to his.
Almost no gap
Moreover, this rating may be due to the fact that she served her dish after Eiji Tsukasa's, so the rating may have been affected to a certain extent.

Dojima Silver, 95 points!
The score even surpassed him!
This made Cai Bo Chaoyang unbelievable
Erina Nakiri made a modified version of the French dish hachis parmentier.

Hachis parmentier is a dish mainly made of mashed potatoes, cheese and meat sauce.

But since she chose to make a devil-horned crocodile, Erina Nakiri naturally would not limit herself to using only these few ingredients. She also innovatively incorporated several other ingredients.

But that didn't ruin the flavor of the hachis parmentier.

Her cooking
As delicate as ever, as harmonious as ever.

It was as if the orchestra of ingredients performed a harmonious and delicate concerto in the solemn and sacred hall.

Dojima Gin's cooking is based on a dish called tangerine peel duck that he learned in China.

Tangerine peel is first and foremost an ancient Chinese medicine, but that doesn’t stop chefs from using it to cook, make soups, or even make desserts.

The preparation process of this dish is quite complicated.

He first has to marinate the duck with various seasonings for more than 10 hours and then lightly fry it in oil.

The fried duck needs further seasoning.

Each step is tedious and takes a lot of time, so he prepares them early and freezes them to bring over.

This is what Soma Yukihira saw in the morning.

The empty duck stomach is then stuffed with devil horn crocodile meat and various seasonings.

Seal the opening with a toothpick to ensure there are no leaks.

Then use a toothpick to poke small holes in the duck meat to make it more flavorful. Put some tangerine peel on the duck skin, add some water and steam it for a few hours.

After a long period of high temperature, the tangerine peel disappears without a trace, and completely penetrates into every part of the duck meat, and the aroma penetrates into the devil horn crocodile meat inside through the small holes.

The selected tangerine peel is also very particular. Generally speaking, the tangerine peel with a younger age (1-3 years) has a stronger fruit sour taste and a lighter aroma.

The older (more than 5 years) tangerine peel has a mellower aroma, richer taste and less bitterness.

Moreover, tangerine peel from different origins may differ in flavor and quality.

The one he chose was the one he finally decided on after comparing and practicing many times.

The tangerine peel gives the dish its unique slightly bitter-sweet flavor.

The devil horned crocodile and duck meat also complement each other. When stewed at high temperature, the aroma of each other permeates each other.

Crisp and soft texture, rich sweet and spicy taste.

Yang Che enjoyed the meal and still felt a little unsatisfied.

At first, he was a little surprised by the scoring result.

After all, Cai Bo Chaoyang is basically positioned as a boss in the original work, and he appears directly by defeating Yao Die.

In THE BULE, he easily defeated Tsukasa Eiji with his Cross Blades, and used ordinary ingredients to make the dishes taught by Nakiri Managi.

But now the dishes I make are actually lagging behind those of several others.
He soon realized the reason.

Saiba Chaoyang's supernatural power, the Cross Blade, can absorb the chef's experience and use it for his own benefit.

But what he absorbed at this moment was ultimately the experience of a chef who had never handled fantasy ingredients.

This new fantasy ingredient with a strong flavor is a challenge for any chef.

As for the Divine Tongue and the Ability to Listen to the Voice of Ingredients, both abilities can help one quickly become familiar with the information of fantasy ingredients and make targeted adjustments.

This is an ability that Cai Bo Chaoyang does not possess at present.

Moreover, judging from what the other party said before, his chance to come into contact with the devil horn crocodile as an ingredient was very limited, and it seemed that he only had one time.
After all, he doesn't have Erina's divine tongue that can accurately remember and deduce the taste.

I guess the curry recipe was developed without the devil horn crocodile on hand.
Yang Che had no doubt that if he was given enough ingredients and had the experience of many top chefs, he could make a dish even better than the previous hamburger!

"Didn't you get first place?"

Erina Nakiri clenched her fists, somewhat unwillingly.

She has done the best she can.
Regarding the cooking options for the devil-horned crocodile, she has actually deduced dozens of different combinations during this period of time.

This dish, hachis parmentier, was prepared in a way that was theoretically perfect for her.

The result was unexpected.
Whether it is Chef Dojima's dishes
It's still Si Yingshi's cuisine.
All of them exceeded her "perfection".
The way Chef Dojima handled the ingredients was a blind spot she had never considered.

In fact, if Yang Che knew what she was thinking, he would understand that it was not that she lacked ability, but just like in the original work, she was influenced by the education that Nakiri Tsuchiya had received, which restricted her thinking.

She also lacks the wild imagination like Soma Yukihira.

It's like a dark zone of logic.

There were many treatment methods that she would never have thought of being used in this way.

Just like Soma Yukihira's dish of curry stuffed into a lion's head and curry with mapo tofu, in her opinion, it is almost like dark cuisine.

She wouldn't even think about it that way.

Moreover, her pursuit of high-end cuisine also limited her direction.

In the original novel, it was the influence of the companions in the later period that gradually opened up his heart and came out.

In addition, when I was staying at the Polaris Dormitory, I was shocked by the fantastic dishes that were constantly served.
Gradually the idea changed.
I understand that cooking is not only about set combinations to be perfect.
Since then, her divine tongue and her wild and unconstrained creativity have allowed her to enter a period of rapid growth.
In just one year, he won the THE BULE competition and made food that satisfied his mother.

But it wasn't just Dojima Gin's cooking that made her think deeply.

And the way that Eiji Si processed the food was something she had never considered.
The fact that the taste of meat can be greatly improved just by carving, cutting and massaging was an unexpected special processing method that had never been considered by her Divine Tongue.

It seems that some ingredients from another world are a bit special.
Whether it is the puffer whale that has been sent for testing.
Or is it the way that Senior Si handles meat?
They all require some special processing methods to become edible or even more delicious.
This way of handling things was a blind spot that even her divine tongue was unaware of.

After all, her divine tongue can only record existing tastes and deduce them.
“Listen to the voice of the ingredients”

Erina Nakiri bit her lips lightly and muttered these words silently.

“Is this kind of thing really possible?”

While cooking, she paid some attention to the judges' panel and naturally heard Si Yingshi's explanation.

Being able to master the method of enhancing the flavor of this ingredient without a lot of trial and error is something only Eiji Si can do.

It could be the impact of learning Yang Che's true identity, and the shaken feeling caused by this being her long-awaited defeat.

The idea that food ingredients have emotions seemed ridiculous, but she actually began to believe it unconsciously.

For some reason, she remembered the food that she had thrown into the trash can as pig food.

Do ingredients really have emotions of their own?
I always go to bed at this time every time I update, and I feel like my hairline is a bit unbearable
