Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

"Don't worry, everyone, don't worry. Next, let us welcome the gourmet devil from the East, the head of the Nakiri family, and the commander-in-chief of Totsuki, Lord Nakiri Senzaemon!"

At this time, Rantabi was still in control of the situation. When everyone thought that the jury had stopped, he spoke faster and blurted out the name of Nakiri Senzaemon.

"Wow! Lord Commander/Demon Lord!/There are actually five judges for this food battle!"

Everyone in the venue went crazy. It felt like the four kings at their peak gathered together and held a concert, shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Wow! Is the commander-in-chief the fourth to appear? Then, does that mean..."

At this moment, among the crazy crowd, there were those who were more clear-headed and immediately realized something.

In a food battle, the judges are always odd-numbered, and Nakiri Senzaemon is the fourth to appear. So, the fifth and final person to appear can only be...

"Let us welcome! WGO Special Executive Officer, Nakiri Managi-sama!"

And in this moment of silence, Rantabhi held the microphone and shouted Nakiri Managi's name at the top of his voice.

boom!

In an instant, the entire Shokugeki venue, no, the entire Tokyo, the entire Japan, at this moment, was boiling like a boiling pot of soup.

"Samagi-sama! Managi-sama! Managi-sama!"

Everyone was shouting hysterically. The situation was extremely crazy and intense.

Some people don’t even know what they are shouting, and can only keep screaming to express their emotions.

"Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet!"

At this moment, sitting in an electric wheelchair, Nakiri Managi smiled and waved to everyone. She picked up the microphone gracefully and said, "Today, the protagonist of this venue should not be me, but the two people in the food battle!"

She gracefully controlled her electric wheelchair and came to the center of the judges' table, a smile still on her face. "I'm really looking forward to today's food battle. I hope you can all bring me dishes that satisfy me."

After saying that, Nakiri Masaki put down the microphone, expressed her attitude, and waited quietly for the food battle to begin.

Ahhhhhhhhh…! It really is Nakiri Managi!

Meanwhile, Eishan Ezu was also in an even stronger state of excitement.

Yes, he already knew that Nakiri Managi might come and had made preparations for it, but the difference between possibility and actuality is unknown. For example, everyone here could travel through time in the next second, but the difference between possibility and actuality is a dimension.

So, facing the real appearance of Nakiri Managi, Eishan Edatsu also straightened his hair, tugged at his collar, and gave his 200% effort, ready to welcome the establishment of his own business empire.

I really should thank you so much! Kobayashi Kiyomasa!

After everything was ready, Ruishan Zhizu looked at Lin Qingzheng opposite him again and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

He still has some self-awareness. With his status, being able to invite Erina Nakiri is already the limit. Anyone after that is simply beyond his level of influence.

In other words, all these people came for Kobayashi Kiyomasa.

Then, as long as he could succeed in stepping on Kobayashi Kiyomasa, everything this guy had would become his.

And Eishan Ezu is also full of confidence in his victory.

He is the ninth of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki.

And he, Kobayashi Kiyomasa, is nothing but a playboy who lives a life of idleness and waiting to die.

Chapter 20 The Powerful Eizan Ezuya

"Hey! Hey! Erina, how's it going? Do you want to taste Kobayashi-kun's food later?"

At this moment, when Eiyama Ezu was daydreaming, Nakiri Managi came behind Erina in the judges' seat, controlling an electric wheelchair.

He put his mouth close to her pink little ear and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, Erina, I spent a lot of effort to get you the qualification to be a judge this time.

It would be a pity if you don't eat it.

Moreover, you declared Kobayashi-kun out without even tasting his cooking.

Aren't you afraid that he'll resent you if he's eliminated because of this?"

"No, I'm not worried!"

The girl pursed her lips tightly, not wanting to even glance at the devilish woman beside her: "I believe in him, he will definitely conquer everyone with his cooking skills and fantastic ingredients!"

"Ohhhhhhh~! Really? It seems like you have great confidence in him and the fantasy ingredients!"

Facing Erina's determination, Nakiri Managi laughed heartily: "Let me tell you, Erina, after our WGO's research and tasting, the effect of fantasy ingredients on others is not as good as it is on us, the owners of the [God's Tongue]!

Moreover, not only that, because of the powerful flavor and aroma of fantasy ingredients, it is very difficult to conquer fantasy ingredients!

If there are no other ingredients of the same grade to combine with it, the only way to conquer it is to use superb cooking skills!

Otherwise, the taste of the fantasy ingredients will be too prominent and will suppress the taste of other ingredients!

Xiaolin-kun only has three fantasy ingredients in his hand, right? Two of them are fruits..."

Nakiri Managi had a subtle smile on her face as she watched her daughter getting into trouble.

That’s right, that’s it! Hesitate, agonize, and waste time!

As long as you hesitate, no matter what decision you make in the end, all of this will become a rift in the relationship between your Nakiri family and Kobayashi-kun. When this rift becomes big enough, it will be time for me to take advantage of it!

Hiding in the shadows, Nakiri Managi's smile was sinister, as powerful and terrifying as a queen who controlled everything in the darkness.

"Okay, I declare the food battle officially begun! The theme of this competition is [Ramen]! The time limit is two hours! Both teams can only bring their own soup base and barbecued pork.

Everything else needs to be made on site!"

Then, with Rantabee's cry, the food battle officially began.

"Bang!" The competition had just begun here. Ruishan Ezu took the soup pot and placed it on the stove. He blanched various vegetables in it while kneading the dough in an orderly manner.

Because he had plenty of time, he also deliberately used extra high-gluten flour from the Kangaroo Country and two parts of finely ground soybean flour and two parts of mung bean flour.

He then added dozens of raw duck eggs and took out a dozen large bamboos as thick as bowls, and used traditional techniques to make bamboo noodles without using a drop of water, intending to conquer the judges' tastes with this highest standard of noodles.

Eizan Ezu had already conducted experiments long before, and the soup base of "Gokumi Yu" was delicious and mellow.

Ordinary white noodles mixed with water cannot match the taste of the soup at all.

Only this unique flavor of bamboo noodles from the big country of Guangdong to the west of the island country can be combined with the taste of "Extreme Flavor Soup".

The taste of the fusion, after being tasted by gourmets invited by Eizun Ezuya, made them say, "This is the best WGO two-star cuisine!"

Therefore, Eizun Ezu is determined to win this food battle!

He could even imagine that his food would be praised highly by executives such as Nakirito after they ate it.

Seeing that Ruishan Zhizu had finished kneading the dough, he began to spread the light yellow dough on the chopping board and used a dozen thick bamboo sticks to repeatedly press it for the final processing.

In the meeting hall, the voices of discussion gradually became louder.

"Wow! What kind of noodle-rolling technique is this? I've never seen it before!"

As the discussion grew, those in the crowd who had been pre-selected as knowledgeable began to act as commentators: "You don't know this, do you? This is a kind of noodle that's been passed down in that great country to the west for a long time. It's called Bamboo Noodles!"

"[Bamboo Noodles]?! What kind of noodles are those? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious! Of course it's delicious! Back in the Song Dynasty, that great country to the west, our people went there to study. We learned how to make almost every kind of noodle dish, from pulled noodles to rolled noodles to buckwheat noodles. But it was this [Bamboo Noodles] that they managed to preserve until the modern day. It wasn't until the time of the great fusion of world cuisines that their nobles sent it here!"

"Wouldn't this noodle be delicious?"

"Of course! Just wait and see! This time, it might be Eisan-kun's turn to make a splash."

However, while the ordinary audience was discussing the matter, the five judges in the judges' booth were all staring at Lin Qingzheng, and no one was looking at Eishan Ezuya.

It's just bamboo noodles. Even if it's decorated with flowers, it's just an ordinary ingredient after all.

In comparison, what these people care more about is whether Lin Qingzheng will come up with new fantasy ingredients.

In the eyes of these people, the only suspense of the outcome of this food battle is that the topic of the competition is [Ramen]. If it is [Cold Dishes] or [Desserts], Lin Qingzheng can take out white apples and golden pears, and simply cut a few pieces and beat most chefs in the world.

At this time, Lin Qingzheng, who had been silently looking at the soup pot he brought without any action, finally took action. He took out a small bag of flour, rubbed his hands vigorously first, and after rubbing his hands until they were red, he reached out and scooped out a spoonful of flour from the bag, put it in the basin, and began to knead the dough with ice water with ice chips.

Finally, Eizun Ezuya's bamboo noodles are almost done.

I have to say that the finished bamboo noodles are really beautiful. After the light golden dough was folded repeatedly several times, Eishan Ezu took out a knife and cut it into thin strips one by one.

Shake it off, each noodle is like a golden thread, put it into the pot, cook for a few minutes and then take it out.

Mix it with two or three small green vegetables and a boiled egg cut in half, and then pour a spoonful of "Extremely Flavorful Soup" that has been heated to boiling.

In an instant, a burst of fresh and fragrant smell filled the entire place, attracting everyone's attention: "Wow! What is that? It smells so fresh and fragrant!"

On the other side, at Lin Qingzheng's place, the noodles made with cold water containing ice chips had already been put into the pot.

At the same time, a "boom, boom" sound came from his soup pot, which was also cooking over low heat.

At this time, Eizun Ezuya had already prepared his ramen and was carrying it to the five judges.

PS: Sorry, I really didn’t know that bamboo noodles were from Guangdong. I didn’t check it when I wrote it.

Chapter 21 It’s a pity that you met a cheater

"Wow! As expected of the ninth of the Totsuki Ten! That ramen looks delicious!"

Whether at the venue or in front of the TV, countless people working in the catering industry had their eyes fixed on the bowl in Eizun's hand.

The color of this ramen looks to be a very ordinary light brown, with lush green vegetables and black wood ear mushrooms.

The boiled egg cut in half and the light golden noodles became thin slices of pink barbecued pork. The colorful colors of the bowl of noodles make people feel very appetizing at first sight.

But look at the audience in the entire venue who are almost drooling!

Even through the screen, one can feel that this bowl of noodles must be very delicious!

It looks like another amazingly talented chef is about to emerge from Totsuki Academy!

No wonder even WGO's special executive, Nakiri Managi, came here!

It seems that the five judges present today are all here for Eiyama Ezuya!

After all, compared to Eishan Ezuya, who had already prepared ramen that made all the audience salivate, Lin Qingzheng, who had wasted so much time and was still cooking noodles, was just like a clumsy housewife.

No need to read any further! Eisan-kun is definitely the winner! That Kobayashi Kiyomasa guy is no match for him!

“('-ι_-｀)”

Facing the judgments of almost all the viewers who watched the food battle competition, Lin Qingzheng was still cooking noodles in an orderly manner.

This ice wheat comes from the snow-capped mountains in the north of the world of gourmet food. In addition to being richer in wheat protein and having a smoother taste than the high-gluten flour in Kangaroo Country.

The most unique feature is the cold property of the flour, which allows it to lock in the umami in the soup, making it the most suitable flour for making soup ramen besides golden wheat.

However, this unique cold property also makes it particularly difficult to cook ice wheat noodles.

First of all, pasta made from ice wheat is particularly difficult to cook, because its cold properties keep its interior at a low temperature at all times.

Secondly, you can’t just throw the noodles into the pot and cook them over high heat.

Because when ice wheat is overcooked, its internal cold properties will disappear and it will become no different from the lowest quality white noodles.

Therefore, the most correct way to eat ice wheat is to cook it until it is 9.5% done, and then pour boiling soup over it for the last 0.5%.

Therefore, when cooking noodles, Lin Qingzheng had to use low heat and put in all his energy to cook the noodles, for fear of missing the perfect time.

What? You asked him where the flour for this ice wheat came from?

Of course, he bought it this morning after using the power of the "Door-Door Fruit" to open the door and then went to the Food City in the neighboring Food Capture World.

What? When did Lin Qingzheng arrive in the Gourmet City?

Wasn’t it that night when Lin Qingzheng rode his motorcycle until the black grass under his feet turned into green grass?

Just walk along that line for about an hour and you will reach the food city ranked 44684th among the four million food cities in the food world!

After arriving in the Gourmet City, Lin Qingzheng found an uninhabited hut in the city. On his way back, he used sleeping pills to knock out a Cinderella bull, trading it for 500 million yuan. The average Cinderella bull is 1.8 meters long and weighs 2.5-3 tons, with meat costing 20000 yuan per gram.

With the money he got from selling the cows, Lin Qing was shopping spree in the market. He not only bought flour from Hanbing wheat, he even bought...

"Dear judges, please taste my bowl of delicious ramen..."

At this time, Eizun Ezu had already respectfully placed the ramen in front of the five judges. He withdrew his hand and stepped back, looking at them confidently, waiting to see them feast on it.

This bowl of noodles can be said to be his greatest masterpiece so far. For this bowl of noodles, he not only spent a lot of time and effort, studied and improved it countless times, but also had an epiphany before he successfully reached this level.

Therefore, in the eyes of Eiyama Ezuya, his ramen will definitely conquer the judges present.

However, the confidence on his face disappeared in the next second.

Because, aside from the gourmet devil Erina Nakiri and the WGO's top executive, Goddess Ann, the rest of the group didn't even glance at his masterpiece. No, Nakiri Senzaemon and Nakiri Tsukushi did glance at it, but their expressions were as if they were looking at something unsightly.
