The story of Shokugeki begins when Alice picks him up and brings him home

Such scenes are common in the forest. Some people choose to act alone because of their good skills, while others have average survival ability in the wild and form short-term cooperation with others.

Because it is the final assessment, everyone is very serious about it and hopes to bring this special training to a successful conclusion.

Soon, it was evening.

"It's been a whole day and there's no one!

The last one is still the last one, a guy who can't stand up to the stage! How dare you play tricks on us like this! "

Looking at the empty forest, Erina Nakiri's face did not look good.

Because no one came out from beginning to end, she even called Xinhu Hisako to bring lunch over at noon.

As a food inspector, I have to bring my own lunch. What a joke!

"It's really disappointing. After all this time, there hasn't even been a single person who dared to try. These guys..."

"Never mind, I'll leave when the time comes, even if the king of heaven comes, it won't help!

I will call Teacher Bai Yuan tonight to explain the situation. I don’t want to come tomorrow. Staying here for a whole day is a sheer waste of time!"

Erina Nakiri complained very unhappily, then started packing up to go back.

Although Alice Nakiri didn't say such words, her expression was quite unhappy. Just as she was about to take action, she looked up and found a few black spots in front of her eyes.

Several figures appeared at the edge of the forest.

"Someone's coming over there."

Reaching out and grabbing the back of Erina Nakiri's collar, Alice Nakiri pointed at the mountains and forests not far away, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

I only saw a few people who came with more or less wounds on their bodies, looking very dishevelled, and holding carefully cooked dishes in their hands.

“It seems that not all of them are useless, there are still people who dare to try.

Then let me taste the food of the person that Mr. Bai Yuan has carefully trained!"

Following Alice Nakiri's gaze.

Erina Nakiri saw the same scene as her. Looking at the scar, she couldn't help but feel touched, but she still spoke proudly.

While they were talking, several people who had come out of the forest had already arrived in front of the judging panel.

"You two are the judges? I didn't expect it would be you."

The girls among the three recognized the identities of Erina and Alice.

To be precise, the two of them are too famous in Totsuki, especially Erina Nakiri, almost every student knows her name.

The eldest daughter of Totsuki Academy, the future ruler of the Nakiri family, and also the recognized number one in the elementary department.

"Let's start with you and serve the food."

Returning to where she had just sat, Erina Nakiri ignored the girls' exclamations, put on a mature attitude, and spoke to the man on the far left.

“My dish is a famous Chinese dish, chicken stewed with mushrooms… an improved version of pheasant and mushroom stew.

Because of the limited availability of ingredients in the mountains, I made some adjustments to the cooking method of this dish to make it my own.”

The bamboo pot with a burnt black bottom was brought to the judging table, the bamboo lid was opened, and the soup and ingredients inside were scooped out with a bamboo tube and poured into bamboo bowls.

In an instant, the rich aroma of chicken filled the air, making everyone present squint their eyes comfortably and swallow their saliva secretly.

"There are limited ingredients in the wild? I see. No wonder you came out so late. The wound on your face must have been left when you were catching chickens, right?"

Hearing the man's words, Alice Nakiri suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

No wonder these people came out so late. If they started collecting the ingredients and came out at this time, they would be the fastest group.

"This beast grew up in the mountains and forests and is familiar with the surrounding terrain. It is really difficult to catch it. It took me a lot of effort to catch it."

In response to Alice Nakiri's question, the man answered truthfully, while Erina Nakiri next to him showed a confused expression.

"What do you mean? Is there a reason why you came out so late? What are you talking about?"

If you don't understand, just ask. Curiosity made Erina grab Alice's arm, wanting to get an answer from her.

“Teacher Bai Yuan once gave me wilderness survival training. To put it simply, it means taking away everything you have and making you survive in the forest from scratch.

You need to build your own accommodation, collect food in the wilderness, and survive. ”

Thinking of the not-so-pleasant experience before, Alice Nakiri's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her eyes.

At that time, Bai Yuan told her that he would treat her to a lollipop, tricked her out of the house, and took her to the mountains.

I thought Bai Yuan finally couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to do something inappropriate for children to her, but she took off her clothes and the master was gone.

All that was left was a note and a hand-drawn map.

The note briefly explained the situation to her, and the map told her the distribution of resources in the forest, as well as the locations of some supply packages.

Although it was very abstract, after half an hour of impotent rage, Alice Nakiri finally accepted it.

Although she was surviving in the wilderness alone, she knew Bai Yuan was watching her, and she had undergone similar training before, so she was not afraid and just went for it.

The final test is to cook three first-level dishes using natural forest ingredients, two dishes and one soup, and they must be related to each other.

The people in front of her should be in a similar situation as she was at that time.

Having experienced that dark time, Alice Nakiri can especially understand why these guys have only come out now.

“Find ingredients and cook in the wilderness...”

Nakiri Alice's words made Nakiri Erina's expression subtle and she was deeply shocked.

If this is true, then the dish in front of me was indeed hard-earned.

but...

Although she knew their conditions were difficult, she would not lower her standards.

Teacher Bai Yuan probably asked her to stay here for this reason.

Picking up the bowl in front of her and taking a sip of the chicken soup, Erina Nakiri closed her eyes and savored the taste.

“The chicken and mushrooms are fried in chicken fat, which perfectly shows the deliciousness of the pheasant, the freshness of the mushrooms, a little salt, the sweetness of honey, and a light spicy taste...

But since you are in the mountains, I am curious, how do you get the salty taste? And this kind of salty taste I have never tasted before."

Erina Nakiri was really curious. It was difficult to obtain salt in the mountains, but she could definitely feel the saltiness in it. And it was not just ordinary saltiness, at least her divine tongue could not taste it. It was a completely new taste that she had never experienced before!

“I put pine wood into the fire and collected the ashes produced after burning. I put the ashes into a bamboo tube, then added the appropriate amount of water, stirred it evenly and let it stand.

In this way, the ash alkali suspended in the water will gradually settle to the bottom of the container, and the upper layer of water will be poured out, leaving behind the wood ash alkali solution containing salt.

Through further evaporation, concentration and drying, pure pine ash can be obtained, which is the source of the salt in this dish. "

Hearing Erina Nakiri's doubts, the man's mouth curled up, and then he began to speak, with a hint of excitement on his face.

He can finally act cool in front of these geniuses. Looking at their ignorant eyes, it feels so good!

"In the deep mountains and old forests, people can use the pine ash alkali extraction method to obtain salt. This is a method that Mr. Bai Yuan learned during a trip and passed it on to us during the fourteenth day of the class."

A slim girl next to her suddenly spoke up and told Erina Nakiri the truth. This method, which ordinary people would never think of, came from Shirai.

At that time, someone asked out of curiosity, so Bai Yuan answered it. Now it comes in handy.

Judging from the expressions of the judges in front of me, the effect should be quite good.

"I see. Mr. Bai Yuan is really knowledgeable. He can even solve this kind of problem. He can use fully burned pine wood to obtain salt."

After hearing the words of the slim girl, Erina Nakiri suddenly realized that if it was Bai Yuan, everything would be normal.

The amazing one is not the student in front of him, but the teacher Bai Yuan who teaches him!

"It should be the result of this year's travel, because my master didn't tell me this during my special training."

Alice Nakiri complained quietly at the side, then she also picked up the chicken soup and tasted it, with an expression of enjoyment on her face.

"The calcium, phosphorus and iron content in pheasant meat is much higher than that in ordinary domestic chickens, and it is also rich in protein and amino acids. It is not only a very good food therapy product, but also tastes more delicious than ordinary domestic chickens.

The meat is firmer than domestic chicken, and has a rich flavor and a unique aroma. This unique flavor allows pheasant to show its delicious taste without too much seasoning when cooking, which makes up for the shortcoming of insufficient seasoning. "

Taking a bite of a piece of pheasant meat and savoring it carefully in her mouth, Alice Nakiri showed a satisfied expression on her face. This was a delicacy that was unique to the mountains!

“Not only is the chicken delicious, but the hazel mushrooms found in the mountains are also top-notch delicacies, growing from the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon.

The meat is thick, delicious, smooth and refreshing, with a long aftertaste. One bite is like entering another world of delicious flavors! "

Closing her eyes and feeling the deliciousness, Erina Nakiri felt herself surrounded by umami flavor. Only when she heard a rooster crowed did she come back to her senses from the shock.

“Great dish. With limited conditions, it makes good use of the existing conditions to create this incomparable delicacy!

Erina Nakiri opened her eyes and couldn't help but praise him, and in her heart she admired Bai Yuan more and more.

It's incredible that these last-place students who were on the verge of dropping out of school can become the best in the elementary department after his training!

Chapter 115: The Devil Climbing Out of Hell

"You've passed. Tell me your name."

Bai Yuan did not tell her what level she had to reach to be considered qualified. He just asked her to choose according to her heart, and as long as she tried her best, she would pass.

As for how to feel whether he tried his best.

Cooking can give the exact answer.

"My name is Kenji Kino.

Now that the first step has been taken, the rest depends on you!"

As he spoke, Kenji Kino turned his gaze towards the other young man next to him. The two of them came here together and met the slim woman later.

"Let me go first, this is fried, it won't taste good if it gets cold.

Please try the spicy fried rabbit meat."

He placed the dishes in half of a bamboo tube in front of Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri respectively, and handed them chopsticks at the same time, with a strong sense of confidence on his face.

"A wild rabbit from the mountains? It's a very good ingredient. Born in the wilderness, it has firm muscles. With a little cooking, it can become a delicious delicacy. Let me try it~"

Looking at the brightly colored rabbit meat in the half-opened bamboo tube, Alice Nakiri showed an interested look on her face, then she picked up a piece with her chopsticks and started to taste it.

"Did you bring this chili with you? It has been dried in the sun. It's impossible that it fell naturally in the mountains and was dried by the sun."

Looking at the peppers used to stir-fry rabbit meat, Erina Nakiri did not rush to taste it, but raised her eyes and asked curiously.

The salty taste just now can be explained by chemistry, but what about the chili pepper?

It takes time from picking peppers to drying them into finished products.

"Yes, because of my personal habit, I carry some chili peppers with me. And in this assessment, I used chili peppers in cooking."

"I see."

After hearing the boy's explanation, Erina Nakiri nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, there were no more cooking methods that she couldn't understand. She then stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into her mouth.

"You used chicken fat in this dish. I used chili peppers as an exchange for the chicken fat from the person just now.

The fat on the surface of the rabbit meat is fully locked in when fried in chicken fat, forming a crispy shell while the inside remains relatively tender and smooth.”

Next to her, Nakiri Alice swallowed the rabbit meat she was chewing and made a comment.

"Yes, I used chicken fat. I fried the rabbit meat until golden brown, and then added the wild onions I exchanged with Kenji and the wild garlic I found in the mountains to enhance the flavor of the dish."

Hearing what Alice Nakiri said, the boy nodded.

Although he originally wanted to use vegetable oil extracted from nuts, there were too few nuts that could be collected in the mountains. In addition, he met Kenji Kino on the road, who was holding a pheasant in his arms. He proposed to exchange ingredients without thinking.

Chili peppers and wild garlic were rare condiments, and the only exchange was a little chicken fat, which Kenji Kino would not refuse, so the cooperation was reached.

“The rabbit meat is fried to a dry fragrance, and the richness of the chicken fat and the essence of the rabbit meat are intertwined to form a unique aroma. It is a very good combination.”

Feeling the taste lingering in her mouth, Erina Nakiri opened her closed eyes.

Because the seasonings are very limited, the flavors of chicken fat and rabbit meat are particularly prominent after simple stir-frying.

“In addition, there is a hint of spiciness, which is the finishing touch.
