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

“I’m an all-round player!”

Erina Nakiri said with a hint of pride.

"You know a little bit of everything? That means you're not proficient in anything. In that case, let's randomly select questions during the Shokugeki period."

Hearing what Erina Nakiri said, Alice Nakiri pinched her chin and said something that hit the nail on the head.

"What? I'm good at everything, okay? I've been in the elementary school for three years, and I've gone through many food battles, but I've never lost a single one!"

Seeing that Alice Nakiri doubted her strength, Erina Nakiri suddenly felt unhappy, so she talked about her own battle record.

"Yes, Lady Erina is very powerful, at least at the level of the Ten Elites!"

Hisako Arato also chimed in, but she really meant what she said, because in her eyes, Erina Nakiri was indeed very powerful!

"That's because your opponent is too weak. Well, Grandpa should have prepared a house for me, right? Take me to my house first~"

Looking at Jonah who was helping her carry her bags behind her, Alice Nakiri waved to him, then looked at Erina and asked her to lead the way.

"You are so rude, man!"

"We are cousins ​​after all, and you owe me this!"

Thinking about the letters she sent to Erina Nakiri when she was a child but which fell into the sea and the other party didn't even reply to any of them, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but pout. This guy is really infuriating!

"What do you mean I owe you?"

Erina Nakiri frowned and asked in confusion, but although she was a little unhappy, she still led the way obediently. After all, this was a task her grandfather specifically assigned to her before she set off.

"Humph, you know it clearly in your heart!"

Alice Nakiri snorted coldly and suddenly quickened her pace to the front. However, before she could go far, a voice from behind made her stop.

"You've gone the wrong way. This is the direction out of the airport."

Looking at Alice walking towards the underground parking lot, Erina Nakiri pointed speechlessly at the road out of the airport in front of her.

This guy is a fool.

"I know!"

Alice Nakiri raised her voice, then turned back to her original position and walked towards the outside of the airport according to the direction of the sign.

Chapter 84: Sisters' Food Wars! Clothes Ripped!

"This is the place that Grandpa arranged for you, you can live here.

I've already informed the Food Wars Bureau, and they'll vacate the venue for us in an hour, but because it's so sudden, there won't be any spectators except the judges, and even the venue will be completely sealed off, is that okay?"

Bringing Alice to the house that the Nakiri family had arranged for her, Erina Nakiri had a low conversation with Hisako Arato for a while, then came up to her and said.

"The audience doesn't care about anything. It won't help us with the Shokugeki. What's important is that I can have a Shokugeki with Erina. I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

After letting Jonah put down the large and small bags of luggage, Alice Nakiri looked at Erina Nakiri, her eyes burning with a surging fighting spirit.

And this kind of look made Erina Nakiri feel a little nervous for some reason.

Why is this guy so passionate?!

No, she has always been number one among her peers, what is she afraid of! ?

Alice Nakiri is the challenger!

"Then let's go now. The theme will be drawn on the spot there."

"Right on my mind!"

Alice Nakiri said excitedly.

The food battle showdown.

"How did it turn into this without you noticing?!"

Wearing a clean white chef's uniform, she stood on the food battle arena. Due to the arrangement made by Hisako Arata, there was no spectator in the audience.

As an internal fight between the Nakiri sisters, no matter whether they win or lose, it is not suitable for outsiders to watch.

Everything was normal, but I don't know where Nakiri Senzaemon heard the news from, but he just dropped what he was doing and rushed over.

At this moment, the judges' table.

Nakiri Senzaemon sat in the main seat with his arms folded across his chest. On his left sat Roland Chapelle, the head and instructor of the French cuisine department, and on his right sat Dojima Gin, the head chef of Totsuki Resort.

This wave, this wave is an all-star lineup!

"I never thought that I would be able to see these two sisters competing in food battles during my rare trip back to Totsuki.

Speaking of which, Nakiri-kun has been in Northern Europe before, and he seems to have made great achievements in the field of molecular cuisine. His strength should not be underestimated."

Looking at the two sisters who were engaging in food battle on the stage, Dojima Gin, with a buzz cut, sat very upright with a bright smile on his face.

"Molecular gastronomy is a brand new field, and no one knows how far it will go. However, Alice deserves recognition for her courage to try."

Sitting upright on the main seat, looking at Alice Nakiri who had brought all her energy and spirit to the peak, Senzaemon Nakiri could not help but admire her in his heart.

He had heard from Leonora Nakiri that Alice Nakiri had a great chef as her master. At the time, he was skeptical, after all, the chef was too young and had no official rank, sounding like a charlatan.

However, looking at the burning passion that Alice Nakiri showed on the ring at this moment, he changed his original idea.

Ordinary teaching methods cannot cultivate such students!

“Although I am not sure about Master Alice’s true strength, one thing is certain, he is definitely not a simple person!”

Nakiri Senzaemon murmured to himself in his heart. Because Leonora Nakiri deliberately concealed the truth and prepared to give him a surprise, he currently did not know the true strength of Alice Nakiri.

"Then please two contestants come forward and draw a theme."

The person in charge of hosting this game was a petite girl. Seeing so many big shots sitting below, there was a hint of nervousness in her voice.

However, her good professional qualities allowed her to hold on, and she stood between the two contestants to advance the food battle process.

Fortunately, there wasn't much that needed to be hosted by her in this competition. She only needed to show up at the beginning and end of the competition.

“Extract a theme…”

Looking at the rapidly jumping theme in front of her, Alice Nakiri reached out and pressed it without thinking. Then the jumping text slowly stopped and finally stopped at the two words "fish jelly".

A slightly subtle ingredient.

"Yudong, I actually got this kind of topic..."

Erina Nakiri looked at the subject in front of her, pinched her chin and fell into deep thought, while Alice Nakiri walked back and forth on the ring.

"I understand!"

Suddenly, as if a flash of inspiration came to her, Erina Nakiri had an idea, and she trotted down the ring and strode towards the truck not far away.

This is the food truck arranged by the Food Wars Bureau, which is specially designed to provide food for this competition.

The contents are so rich that basically all the ingredients you can think of are included. It’s like an alternative Doraemon treasure bag!

Soon, Erina Nakiri came out of the food cart, holding a basket full of ingredients needed for the meal.

Before returning to the ring, she looked up at Alice Nakiri who was walking anxiously on the ring, and the tension in her heart dissipated a little.

"Humph, you can't even come up with an answer quickly for a topic of this magnitude, yet you still brazenly claim that you can beat me. How ridiculous!"

After mocking in her heart, Erina Nakiri returned to her cooking table, took out the salmon wrapped in oil paper, and cut it into rectangular pieces with a knife.

Then add brandy, white pepper and sea salt to simply season the tuna and set it aside.

The remaining trimmings were diced and added to the same brandy, white pepper and sea salt, but this time she added a little more olive oil.

Cut the tomatoes into small pieces and put them into the bowl with the diced salmon scraps. Use a fork to mix the two evenly and set aside.

Slice lemon and slice garlic.

Add garlic slices, thyme, white wine and brandy to a pot and bring to a boil over high heat to allow the alcohol to evaporate, leaving only the aroma of the wine. Then filter through a strainer and pour into a bowl for later use.

In another pot, pour in red wine, add two lemon slices and a spoonful of honey, wait for the red wine to dry up, then take out the lemon slices with concentrated essence.

After completing this step, Erina Nakiri raised her head and found that Alice had finally taken action and took out a fresh cod from the food storage.

Judging from its energetic appearance, it should have been airlifted in this morning.

But why did this guy use the cod directly? Was he going to slaughter it on the spot? Did she know that she only had an hour to cook it?

“It’s really good quality.”

Looking at the cod in front of her, Alice Nakiri gently touched it, feeling its surging vitality, muttered something, then opened the kitchen utensil box, which contained a complete set of Seven Star Knives.

This was the blueprint she had asked Bai Yuan for some time ago, and she specially sought out skilled craftsmen to have it handcrafted one-to-one.

As a result, after more than half a year of practice, she has mastered the use of each knife and can use them in a coordinated manner. She can process fish twice as fast as before!

"Stop jumping around. It's already on the chopping block. It's too late to jump around any more."

As Alice Nakiri spoke, she took the Lucun Knife from the Seven Star Knifes and pointed it directly at the neck of the cod. In a flash, she decisively swung the knife, and the blade accurately cut through the cod's carotid artery, instantly taking away all its life.

Then, Alice Nakiri placed the cod flat on the chopping board and used various knives to quickly remove the scales, bones, internal organs and meat. The whole action was done in one go, as if it had been practiced countless times.

“This basic skill is very solid!”

Looking at Alice Nakiri's performance, Dojima Gin on the judges' panel couldn't help but praise her, his eyes full of admiration.

If there is anything that can best reflect a person’s efforts, it must be basic skills!

Because basic skills cannot be deceived. The amount of practice you put in will ultimately determine the results you will see, and they will be very clear and visible.

"Well, I thought she wouldn't care much about the basics if she chose the path of molecular gastronomy. Now it seems that I had some stereotypes."

Dojima Gin's words made Nakiri Senzaemon nod his head and a smile appeared on his face. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Nakiri Alice's performance.

"If you don't speed up, I will overtake you."

After completing this step, Alice Nakiri noticed Erina Nakiri's gaze. Her mouth was slightly open, and she was obviously surprised that she could dismember a whole cod so neatly.

The whole process should not exceed two minutes!

"Hmph, I don't need you to remind me. You should speed up. This test only lasts for an hour, and 20 minutes have already passed!"

Hearing what Alice Nakiri said, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but snorted coldly, then buried her head and concentrated on her cooking.

"Forty minutes is more than enough!"

Alice Nakiri had a relaxed smile on her face. She put the processed cod bones and vegetables such as onions, carrots, celery, etc. into the pot and stewed them over high heat. While stewing, she added white wine to enhance the flavor.

After finishing the longest task, turn to the cod fillet. First, soak it in light salt water to remove the fishy smell, then dry it with kitchen paper, brush it with a layer of olive oil and sprinkle a small amount of sea salt on the surface, and let it sit for a while to let the flavor absorb.

On the other side, Erina Nakiri was also working hard. At the moment, she was frying salmon.

The cooking was in full swing. Seeing the two little guys' extremely skillful cooking, several bigwigs on the judges' panel couldn't help but start a discussion.

"Erina is worthy of being the first in the elementary department. Whether it's ideas or skills, there is no big difference between her and the Ten Elites of Totsuki."

Roland Chaper looked at Erina Nakiri's cooking and couldn't help but praise her. The dishes she made were undoubtedly French cuisine, and a lot of what he taught was used in them.

“Alice too, it’s clear that she’s been working very hard to hone her cooking skills in Northern Europe, but I don’t know what kind of dishes she’ll end up with.

I still haven’t felt the uniqueness of molecular gastronomy.”

Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Nakiri Alice, and there was a rare hint of doubt in his voice. Since the other party was good at molecular cuisine, why didn't she use it?

"what is that?"

Dojima Gin's voice sounded, and he turned his gaze towards Nakiri Alice while speaking.

Then the three of them saw two people dressed as staff members pushing a piece of equipment that was mostly made of steel into the food battle scene.

"I finally made it. It's worth the hassle and expense of shipping it here. Now I'll let you see my true strength, Erina!"

Having two staff members carry the molecular cooking machine onto the food battle arena, Alice Nakiri muttered softly.

Since he wanted to strike against Erina Nakiri, he naturally had to do his best to make her realize the huge gap between them and be convinced.

This time, I will make you say the word "delicious" with your own mouth, Erina!
