Food Wars: Live Broadcast in the Prison of Food

Chapter 47 What is the law of serving food first?
Soma Yukihira excitedly studied the various ingredients and seasonings collected by Senzaemon Nakiri, and picked them up to look at them curiously.

He had hardly used any of the many ingredients and special seasonings from various countries here.

If we were to say who the things here help the least, it would undoubtedly be Soma Yukihira. The other people have been exposed to much more knowledge about cuisines from different countries than Soma Yukihira, who has been cooking at set menu restaurants since he was a child, and accordingly they can come up with more creative ideas.

In fact, among all the people, the person who is least optimistic about Nakiri Senzaemon is Yukihira Soma. Although his creative ideas are sometimes refreshing, he still lacks a lot of practical experience. Yukihira Soma himself is quite optimistic and has no self-awareness of being the weakest.

On the side, Erina Nakiri was very dissatisfied with his behavior and frowned. In addition, she had always disliked Soma Yukihira, so she became a little annoyed for a moment. She couldn't help but want to ridicule him several times, but considering her grandfather sitting in front of her and Mr. Gu Yue who brought them the food, she finally endured it with difficulty.

She really didn't understand why Mr. Gu Yue would assign this chef with no taste to prepare such precious ingredients.

After checking the time, which showed 3:47, Yang Che said:

"Then let's start cooking. The time limit is ten hours. You can try whatever you want within these ten hours."

"I'm looking forward to what you'll serve."

"."

After his announcement, the temperament of the four chefs present changed.

Soma Yukihira took off the white scarf tied on his hands and tied it on his head, while Gin Dojima simply rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.

Erina Nakiri no longer cared about Soma Yukihira. She repeatedly told herself not to be influenced by him. After washing her hands, she began to study the ingredients.

Among them, Si Yingshi had the biggest change in aura. His cowardly and somewhat submissive temperament disappeared in an instant. In front of the kitchen counter, he was calm and composed like an elegant white knight. After carefully cleaning the snake frog meat, he delicately cut off a part of the meat with a silver kitchen knife.

He held the kitchen knife in his left hand and moved it up and down. The "chopping" sound of the knife hitting the chopping board was as regular as an army marching in step. He quickly divided the meat into even pieces, intending to try different cooking methods first.

This is to fully grasp the specific information of this ingredient. What changes will boiling, stir-frying, stewing, braising and roasting bring to the taste of the ingredient are all things that need to be clarified.

Dojima Gin, Nakiri Erina and Yukihira Soma all chose a similar method without exception.

To understand an ingredient, real practice is necessary to know the most accurate taste.

Even the best chefs cannot make an excellent dish with ingredients without knowing their original flavors.

Fortunately, the amount of snake frog meat Yang Che brought was sufficient to be divided among four people and to make several dishes.

Yang Che and Nakiri Senzaemon remained silent most of the time and watched them deal with the situation.

Yang Che himself was quite patient. In order to capture some sensitive ingredients, he could lie still in one place for several days. So waiting for a mere ten hours was nothing.

And he doesn't feel bored. Although he doesn't know how to cook, he is very interested in every step of how the chef handles the ingredients and turns them into delicious food.

Since he had some understanding of the people in front of him through anime, he felt like he was participating in a special movie version of Shokugeki no Soma.
At the beginning, the steps they took to try the original flavors of the ingredients were basically the same.

Therefore, the time spent is not much different.

The moment they put the meat into their mouths, the special taste of the snake frog meat instantly filled their mouths.

Without exception, the people who ate the meat one after another fell into a brief silence.

Some people's eyes lit up, some were deeply moved, some closed their eyes in silence, and some blushed.

Without exception, they all stood there for a short while, silently savoring the magical taste of the snake frog meat.

Their actions after this differed.

Dojima Gin stroked his chin, slowly picked up snake frog meat cooked in several different ways with chopsticks and put it on a plate, then picked up the plate and walked to the area where a large number of other ingredients were placed.

He slowly picked up a piece of meat and chewed it carefully. He ate very seriously, chewing his cheeks as if he wanted to squeeze out the remaining flavor in the meat. At the same time, he scanned the many seasonings such as cooking wine on the left and right and thought silently. Yukihira Soma directly divided the meat into many portions, went to the food area to get a lot of seasonings and some ingredients, set up seven or eight pots, put in different ingredients and seasonings, and cooked with snake frog meat.

Yang Che had a sense of déjà vu about this scene. In the accommodation training chapter of Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma, Yukihira Soma passed the breakfast test in this way. He set up many pots in order to attract customers.
Now looking at this situation, Soma Yukihira has come up with many different combinations and plans to use the exhaustive method to find a suitable combination.

This is quite suitable for the situation where he is not familiar with some of the ingredients. He can learn about the relevant information while cooking, and perhaps find a better combination.

The situation here is more magical.
Si Yingshi carefully cut another piece of meat, walked to the food area to get the ingredients and seasonings he wanted, and then started cooking directly. But the strange thing was that he was talking softly to the snake frog meat while cooking and listening to the sizzling sound of the frying meat.

"Very good, very good, what a good kid."

"Come closer to me."

This unusual scene made Yang Che unable to help but look at him several times.
As for Erina Nakiri, after eating the snake frog meat cooked in different ways, she closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

I didn't choose the ingredients, I just stood there.
Ten minutes passed. Even fifteen minutes passed.
Erina Nakiri just stood there.

This strange scene attracted the attention of Nakiri Senzaemon, who was somewhat puzzled:
"What's wrong with Erina?"

He had never seen Erina standing still for such a long time while cooking, but he didn't want to interfere with the actions of the chef. Seeing that she didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, he could only suppress his doubts and watch silently.

Yang Che, who was standing aside, saw it more clearly.

With his meticulous observation skills, he could tell that there was nothing abnormal about Erina Nakiri's breathing rhythm. Instead, she was more focused than usual. And if he looked closely, he could find that her fingers were trembling slightly and regularly from time to time.

It was as if she wasn't cooking at the counter but playing the piano in music class.

"."

Yang Che was a little curious about what she was doing. It was as if Erina Nakiri was thinking about how to cook the dish in her mind and combining the different ingredients in her mind?
The idea is normal, but can we not try it out in practice? Can God's Tongue really do this?
------

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the time came to 6 o'clock.

Erina Nakiri opened her eyes, looked around, and went straight to the food area to accurately select a few items without any hesitation, as if she had already clearly understood what dishes she wanted to cook.

However, when she came back from selecting the ingredients, she saw an unexpected figure. Facing everyone's gaze, he walked towards where Yang Che and Nakiri Senzaemon were, carrying the food.

Looking at the red-haired hedgehog-headed boy with a headscarf in front of him.

"Are you trying to say that this dish is your final product?"

Nakiri Senzaemon stared at Yukihira Soma seriously with his red eyes and spoke slowly.

"Yes! I've already cooked it!"

On the side, Yang Che looked at the protagonist of the original novel and asked curiously:

"There's still more than half of the time left. Are you so confident that you don't plan to continue researching and trying to find a better match?"

"I repeat, I have a very picky appetite."

Yukihira Soshin said:
“This dish is something I’m confident about now.”

"Besides, it's already 6 o'clock. We at Xingping Restaurant don't have the rule of letting customers wait with empty stomachs during dinner time!"

Hearing this, a hint of approval appeared in Yang Che's eyes.

The only thing I know how to do is make instant noodles in three minutes. Why would I write about cooking?
