I found a life simulator.

The opponent scored an extremely high score first.

Unless, of course, Tsukasa Eishi's French-style baked snails have surpassed the level of Suze's cooking.

but...

is it possible?

The other side came prepared!

Chapter 79 The soup was good, and the person was good too.

It's awkward when dishes from the same culinary system come together to share the same ingredient.

It would be even more awkward if two identical dishes were placed in the same competition.

This is the easiest and most direct way to distinguish between high and low.

"Did Tsukasa Eishi also prepare French-style baked snails?" Senzaemon Nakiri asked, still somewhat unsatisfied. There were still a few left to eat, and he wanted to have some more, but considering that there were still students behind him, he decided against it.

We must prioritize the overall situation.

It's fine to savor it after the game is over.

Si Yingshi nodded slightly, his expression rather solemn. He hadn't delivered an exceptional performance with this dish; it was just a fairly consistent one.

With such high praise from the other party, Tsukasa Eishi suddenly lost his confidence.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a player, but if it were just a friendly match, Tsukasa Eishi would want to taste his opponent's French-style baked snails.

“Before we taste your dish, let’s hear your opinion on this Chinese chef’s skills,” Senzaemon Nakiri brought the conversation back on track.

"Your name... is Su Ze, right?" Senzaemon Nakiri tried to pronounce the Chinese name.

Chinese cuisine is an unavoidable topic in the culinary world, and Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine are products of the same origin. Their culinary philosophies and styles are quite similar and close.

Senzaemon Nakiri speaks some Chinese, which means he must have visited China, a country renowned for its cuisine.

Su Ze nodded.

This was Su Ze's first meeting with the old man. He wanted to leave a deep impression on him, but he didn't want to be seen as a bad boy.

He still speaks very humbly.

"Your French-style baked snails are a very creative creation," Senzaemon Nakiri commented slowly. "From a personal perspective, the way you cook is quite unique."

"Of course, I don't mean 'unique' in a derogatory way."

"It's a unique quality that others find difficult to achieve."

"Your dish..."

"Actually, it used some ideas from Chinese cuisine, right?"

“This is something that even French chefs find difficult to learn,” Senzaemon Nakiri continued.

“The soup is good, and the person is good.” Senzaemon Nakiri pointed out two key elements: “The snail meat and sauce complement each other perfectly, and the other ingredient in the onion soup base creates an excellent synergy with the French-style baked snails.”

In general.

Chinese and Japanese chefs find it relatively easy to learn French cuisine during their studies.

However, it is much more difficult for French chefs to learn the essence of Chinese and Japanese cuisine.

Especially Chinese cuisine.

As mentioned before, French cuisine sometimes focuses more on form and is relatively weak in terms of substance. However, a beginner can learn to cook basic French dishes by following the steps.

To do it better, as long as you have a certain level of skill, and once you get the hang of it, you can still make a standard French dish.

However, to achieve an absolutely delicious result, skill is key.

To put it simply, French cuisine is easy to learn, and once you start learning, the minimum skill level is very high. However, to break through the ceiling and create that exceptionally delicious result, it depends extremely on your skill level.

Chinese cuisine is quite different. The recipes are easy to learn and quick to master, but the more difficult ones can take a long time to learn and still not make any progress.

However, this does not mean that the potential of Chinese cuisine is low.

Chinese cuisine has arguably the highest potential among all cuisines in the world.

Its high potential lies in the fact that the ingredients used in Chinese cuisine can be combined without limit, and each ingredient produces different effects when combined with different ingredients. When a Chinese chef's skill level is high enough...

Give him any set of ingredients, and he can create all sorts of dishes.

Su Ze used this Chinese culinary approach. First, the snail meat and his prepared sauce worked very well, neutralizing the pungent taste and transforming it into a refreshing and delicious flavor.

The prepared French onion soup.

When consumed in combination with other ingredients, it produced another effect, further enhancing the original crisp and refreshing taste.

Senzaemon Nakiri hit the nail on the head.

"That's exactly why my rating changed after I drank this soup." Roland Chapel highly approved of the head coach's assessment.

The rating was inconsistent and contradictory.

This does not meet the authority that a judge or referee should have.

However, Roland Chapel was a very demanding person, and when he drank the broth, he realized that giving it a 9.9 was a mistake.

This dish is not something someone of this age should be able to make.

This is a world-class chef's dish that can achieve results even in world championships.

The level is truly terrifying.

"The first ingredient pairing was to neutralize the mixed flavors, while the second pairing was to enhance the overall taste," Shiomi Jun said calmly.

"The sauce and spices suppress the off-flavors. No, it's not suppression, it's transformation. Certain ingredients in the sauce and spices harmonize the off-flavors in the snail meat, which makes it difficult for even someone with a divine tongue to detect the off-flavors in this dish."

"That's right. God's Tongue can detect the shortcomings in a dish. The off-flavor is indeed something that appears in every dish. Even if it is covered up or suppressed, God's Tongue can still detect it."

"But if this sense of mismatch is transformed into another preference, even a compromise, then God's Tongue will not be able to detect the dish's flaws at all."

"And the purpose of this broth is to bring out the best flavor of the entire dish in your mouth."

"Some ingredients in the broth enhance the tender and flavorful taste of the snail meat."

"It even awakens that delicious taste in your mouth."

"I'd also give this dish a 10 out of 10." Shiomi Jun's review was the most straightforward; she finished her comment and gave her answer.

As a spice specialist.

Shiomi Jun was very clear about the role of spices.

Spices are used to mask the 'bad' taste and smell of certain ingredients. When the unpleasant taste of some ingredients is hard to reverse, spices are the best cheat to hide this bad taste.

Ordinary diners wouldn't be able to taste this unusual flavor.

But the tongue of God can taste.

Therefore, the ability to use spices to neutralize unpleasant flavors and even enhance the taste of dishes is enough for her to give it a 10/10 rating.

It was sold out in seconds.

Three judges, all gave a score of 10.

It was even more exaggerated than the last time the God Tongue judges were present.

The gymnasium at Totsuki Academy fell silent instantly, as quiet as a library.

"I told you, opening your eyes is a victory."

Erina Nakiri crossed her arms, wearing an indifferent expression.

Worries and such.

It has never happened before, okay?

From beginning to end, Erina trusted Suze's abilities completely.

How many people could possibly defeat him at such a small place like Totsuki Academy?

That is, she possesses the tongue of God.

He could probably compete with Su Ze.

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri's lips curved into a charming smile for the second time.

Just a mere Si Yingshi.

Does she even deserve to compete with her own husband?

......

Chapter 80 The Commander-in-Chief's Expectations

Listen to Shiomi Jun's evaluation, which uses Nakiri Erina's divine tongue as an example.

This legal loli instructor's argument is correct and accurate. Yes, even if Erina's God Tongue were to taste his dishes, it would be difficult to detect the lack of texture in Suze's dishes.

Many chefs' dishes have some shortcomings in texture, whether it's due to improper control of the heat, adding ingredients too late, or even adding too much of a certain ingredient. These are all possible reasons for a lack of flavor.

Even the most experienced chefs can hardly guarantee that they will never make a mistake.

Su Ze also makes mistakes.

However, while studying cooking with Erina Nakiri, they gradually talked about the inclusiveness of Chinese cuisine. During this period, Suze stopped studying recipes and dishes.

Instead, they studied the compatibility between various ingredients.

What kind of taste will occur when certain ingredients are paired together? And how can the stimulating sensation produced by pairing certain ingredients eliminate the lack of any particular ingredient?

Moreover, Su Ze also discovered this.

Erina Nakiri's God Tongue can detect flaws, even those that are concealed. However, if these flaws are transformed, it becomes difficult for the God Tongue to trace back to the original flavor.

The point that Shiomi Jun used as an example of the God's Tongue is precisely the key to Su Ze's approach.

This is a cooking method that was tailor-made for Erina Nakiri and has since developed wildly along this path.

It turns out.

This path is correct. Su Ze used this method to defeat countless opponents. Even future chefs would turn pale and then give a wry smile when they talked about this cooking approach.

Because I want to follow a path like Su Ze.

too difficult.

It requires a long period of research, including the study of ingredients, and the full cooperation of Erina Nakiri, the owner of the God Tongue. Using the God Tongue, they tried to taste each ingredient after neutralizing it, recording which neutralization was better and which was not.

Even if you summarize the flavor profiles of most of the ingredients, applying them in practice becomes a new challenge.

You said that most people can only do long-term research on ingredients.

()

With Erina Nakiri's full cooperation, it would be difficult for anyone else to have this opportunity.

Su Ze had conducted long-term research, received full assistance from the Tongue of God, and after time had passed, he integrated these two findings and applied them in actual combat.

This is very scary.

A road that is one in a million.

Su Ze's other nickname, "the encyclopedia of the culinary world," also comes from this.

After Suze scored three 10-pointers.

The outcome of the match is already self-evident.

When Tsukasa Eishi and Ono Tai came up again, whoever it was, they became the ones who made up the numbers, and the two of them would become the neon lights that illuminated Su Ze.

before this.

Who would have thought.

Even a master chef like Tsukasa Eishi, who is the top chef at Totsuki Culinary Arts, will become just another nobody in the background when it comes to his specialty, French cuisine.

"8 points." Roland Chapel picked up Tsukasa Eishi's dish, took a quick bite of the 'snail meat', and gave Tsukasa Eishi a score that was unexpected.

There is no harm without comparison.

It was precisely this stark contrast that led to Tsukasa Eishi's low score.

As the pioneer, Su Ze's first dish was so good that it paled in comparison to the dish made by Tsukasa Eishi, who also made the same dish.

They were terribly suppressed.
