Chapter 21: Willing to Gamble and Lose
"The tenderness of the tofu, the hotness of cooking, the numbness and spiciness, the unique fragrance and the crispiness of the meat..."
Without Kawashima Rei asking, Chimote Ori began to tell her about her feelings about the magic mapo tofu, "This is a dish with six flavors in one, and it is the best Chinese food I've ever tasted..."
"The soup soup makes the tofu very tender, hot, but the hotter it is, the more I want to eat it, and the numb and spicy can't hide the aroma of the food, so the finishing touch is on the ground meat..."
Chimote Natsuya set her eyes on the commander who was slowly putting on his clothes, hoping to get an answer.
"It's not meat."
Four simple words shocked the audience, not meat? How can it not be meat that can fool the taste of the other two judges?
The cheongsam girl bit her fingers and began to recall Wayne's cooking process, and in an instant, the moment she took out the soybeans entered her eyes, which made her heart startle, "Could it be..."
"Soybeans! The meat is made from soybeans to make it real, and at the same time, the meat fully absorbs the flavor of the meat, and even has the flexibility and crispy texture that it does not have..."
Seeing the look of Mizuhara Fuyumi, she couldn't help but exclaim, "This guy, really hasn't learned cooking?" ”
The worry in Dry Hinata Zi's eyes slowly decreased at this moment, and her heart was quite relieved at this moment, but she still didn't let go of her worries, after all, the judges hadn't eaten Erina's food yet.
After everyone's discussion came to an end, the commander-in-chief finally began to judge at this moment, "This dish undoubtedly has the inheritance of the soul of Sichuan and Shu cuisine, you use soybeans as ground meat to reach the point of being fake and real, and make the taste of this dish more sublimated, with the theme of tofu alone, if I am the examiner who reviews the chef level, I will undoubtedly give you full marks!" ”
With such a high evaluation, this is the first time that the commander-in-chief has praised people so much in public, Wayne at the center of the topic smiled faintly, those envious eyes did not know what to say in his opinion, he didn't need to praise, he just needed to win or lose.
Erina, who had never served food, felt unprecedented pressure, and a thought suddenly appeared in her heart that she didn't even believe in herself, 'Will I lose?' No! Absolutely not! I'm Erina Nagikiri! I'm one of the Ten Heroes of Far Moon! ’
With Wayne's plate removed, Erina asked her assistant to serve her own dishes.
But seeing this dish is like a crystal clear gem glowing with colorful light, just looking at its shape is like a work of art.
"The name of this dish is Rainbow Jewel Tofu, and it is made with tofu mixed with various fruit juices to taste, and then boiled in sweet soup..."
"Wow, it's Erina-sama, I can't help but have a full appetite just by looking at this dish..."
Rei Kawashima praised Erina at the right time, and at the same time guided the judges to taste it.
However, a surprising scene happened, the three judges at the top looked silent, and none of them moved their chopsticks, as if the dish in front of them was not attractive at all.
It was the first time that Erina had encountered such a situation, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you eat it?" This dish must be eaten at the hottest time to appreciate its rich taste. ”
A sigh sounded, but seeing Chimote Natsuya, she glanced at Erina, who she was very optimistic about before the game, and said slowly, "It's not that we don't eat, but we don't have any appetite for other dishes." Sweetness can undoubtedly dilute the numbness and spiciness, but that's not enough..."
"How do you know if you don't eat?! You need to eat food to know how delicious it is, doesn't it? ”
Erina was extremely puzzled, looking a little flustered, and the scene around her was quiet for a while.
Finally, the commander-in-chief spoke, "Erina, you have the tongue of the gods, so let you judge these two dishes yourself." ”
Two porcelain bowls, one with magic mapo tofu and one with Erina's own rainbow gem tofu.
Erina took it in a daze, gritted her teeth and ate the magical mapo tofu that Wayne had made, and when she took the first bite of it, the scorching heat like a magma eruption began to burn, and her clothes were burned to the ground, and the minced flesh of the soybeans kept converging on her faces, making her slap in panic.
"No... Don't come here... Don't come here!! Let me go!! ”
The fortress of flame forged an impregnable barrier of taste, even her tongue of god.
Putting down the bowl in a daze, and looking at the food she made, Erina lost any appetite, and at this moment she understood why the judges were reluctant to eat her own food.
This is the domineering of Sichuan and Shu cuisine, it can occupy a person's taste for a long time, and the period is as difficult to erase as a carved imprint.
"The winner is decided!" The flat-headed burly man laughed and looked at the silent Sinomiya beside him, "How?" ”
"More than this, I want to know this guy, what his cooking heart is..."Shinomiya pushed the frame of the mirror so that the mirror flashed a bright light, hiding the pensive eyes behind him.
"Chef's heart, tsk, what a terrible talent..."
At this moment, life is vivid, or stunned, frightened, and unbelievable, and many of the Enzuki students who worship Erina even began to break down and cry, which is like the collapse of their own faith in life.
Others, on the other hand, expressed their disbelief that Wayne was able to defeat Erina, and also wanted to try this magical mapo tofu that defeated the Ten Masters of the Far Moon.
Kohei Sojin is one of them, and he even has an urge to eat the halberd with Wayne on the stage.
In any case, the discerning people have already seen the results of the game, and many people are ready to leave the field early, including Hinata Dry Hinata who is completely relieved and full of smiles, and Fuyumi Mizuhara, who is still a little unbelievable.
"I lost..."
With a sigh, how difficult it was to say these three words with Erina's pride? Unwilling, shameful, aggrieved and resentful, gritting her teeth, her eyes moistened, she stared at the expressionless Wayne, "I fulfill the promise of the halberd!" ”
Willing to gamble and lose, this is the true portrayal of Erina at this moment.
Wayne won, earning the halberd, fame, and... An Angel Maid!
