Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

"Hey! Yuuki! Well, let's start cooking!"

At this time, Lin Qingzheng also took out the beef that he had grabbed and thawed long ago, and softly called his partner to start cooking.

"I won't! Qingzheng-kun, I'm sorry! I can't abandon Xiaohui and Ryoko, you should find another partner! I'm going to stay here and wait. When Xiaohui is back to normal, I'll start cooking again!"

But at this moment, Yoshino Yuki's face was full of determination. She looked back stubbornly, then returned to her original position, leaving only this sentence.

"Uh...this..."

Lin Qingzheng turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall and found that there was less than half an hour left.

This amount of time is already the limit for dishes like [Beef Brisket Braised in Red Wine] that need to be simmered over low heat. As for waiting for Tadokoro Megumi to recover before cooking, it is almost an impossible task!

Then, there is only one answer!

Seeing that Xiaohui was still in a daze, Lin Qingzheng picked up two pieces of beef brisket, put them directly into the pot with cold water without cutting them into pieces, added star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves, skimmed off the foam after boiling, and cooked for about ten minutes, then poured onions, potatoes, and carrots into the pot.

Add appropriate amount of oil, stir-fry tomato sauce, then add the blanched beef brisket, add red wine and stir-fry, after it is cooked, pour in water and chopped pineapple, and simmer over low heat.

Because Lin Qingzheng wanted to make two portions at the same time, he chose to put pineapple in one portion and not in the other.

While slowly cooking the beef brisket, Lin Qingzheng constantly tested its tenderness and discovered that the beef brisket with pineapple was indeed more tender than the one without. — No, much more tender!

But it still doesn’t reach the level required by Mr. Chapell’s recipe!

There's no other way, it's simply because Mr. Chapelle's recipe for Burgundy Red Wine Beef Brisket is simply magical. (How can you stew a whole beef brisket without cutting it into pieces?!) And supposedly, this way of stewing the meat not only doesn't dry out, but actually becomes incredibly tender, so tender you can even scoop it up with a spoon.

Then, he can only try to break the deadlock by relying on that!

Seeing that everyone else in the class was also in a deadlock, Lin Qingzheng had no choice but to take a gamble and start injecting gourmet energy into the soup pot!

Chapter 73 The First A in Life

Infusing gourmet energy into ordinary ingredients is a new use of gourmet energy that Lin Qingzheng recently discovered.

Lin Qingzheng recently discovered this method of use while using the "Ashura" cooking mind. When entering the "Cooking Mind" state, Lin Qingzheng found that his body would always unconsciously inject some gourmet energy into the food, and the food would become more delicious than usual.

Therefore, Lin Qingzheng had some speculations: Could it be that when the food energy is used on ordinary ingredients in the food wars world, it also has the ability to make the ingredients tender, fresh and delicious?

At a critical moment like now, it's time to do experiments!

However, at this time, in the classroom, some students' pots had already started to emit aroma, which attracted people's attention.

At the same time, as the food in their pots gradually cooked, they began to look over and pay attention to what was happening in this corner.

"Look! Those guys haven't even started cooking yet!"

"No, that person, isn't he cooking right now? And he's cooking two portions at once!"

"What's the point? When he started cooking, there were only twenty minutes left! With that much time, even if he added pineapple to make the beef more tender, there's no way he could have cooked the way the teacher wanted!"

"Huh?! What? Adding pineapple can make beef more tender? Why didn't anyone tell me? We've been stewing the beef for almost half an hour, and the center is still hard!"

"Mr. Shaper already talked about this kind of thing in his lecture, didn't he? Didn't you even listen?"

"I forgot! I didn't even think about this!"

"It's okay! Don't worry, you won't be the one who suffers the most! Teacher Shapper will only deduct a dozen or twenty points from you at most!

On the contrary, those guys are all finished this time!"

"Okay, Xiaohui, cheer up! Cheer up! You can do it!"

Finally, with ten minutes left before the end of get out of class, Sakaki Ryoko managed to calm down the completely devastated Tadokoro Megumi and helped her slowly back to the kitchen counter. She saw Lin Qingzheng busying himself with a pot handle in one hand, "Mr. Lin, what are you doing?"

"It's almost time! I saw you guys haven't started cooking yet, so I took the initiative and made you one according to the recipe!"

Meanwhile, Lin Qingzheng also saw the resurrection of Tadokoro Megumi. Upon hearing Sakaki Ryoko's question, he smiled openly and released the handle of the pot on their side: "See! See! Can it be used?"

"Ah? This..."

At this moment, Tadokoro Megumi had just been persuaded by Sakaki Ryoko to try harder and hold on to see if she could stay in Totsuki. Of course, she also noticed the problem of running out of time, and thought that she was doomed. As a newcomer, Kiyomasa-kun certainly didn't know the technique of using pineapple or honey to speed up the cooking of beef. Now she would drag Ryoko down with her and lose a lot of points.

However, when she opened the lid of the pot, she was surprised to find: "Oh... this... Qingzheng-kun, your beef is cooked so well!"

Yes, that's right, in the pressure cooker, in the dark brown soup, the white onions, bright yellow pineapple, orange-red carrots and dark brown beef complement each other and look extremely delicious. Gently press it with a spoon and the stressed beef will immediately rebound.

"So tender! Even if we sprinkle some salt on it and put it on a plate right now, there will be no problem serving it!"

The beef stew was so perfect that the girls were stunned. Their eyes shifted as they looked at Lin Qingzheng. If the previous look had meant "Professor Yukihira's disciple, rumored to be incredibly talented, a promising newcomer in the future," it had become, "As expected of Professor Yukihira's disciple! His talent is terrifyingly high! Not only is his future potential limitless, but his current strength is also astonishing! He even figured out how to tenderize beef with pineapple from a few words from the person next to him!"

“Ding-dong-dong…Okay, time’s up. Plate your dishes and bring them up for me to inspect!”

However, just when everyone was still amazed at Lin Qingzheng's talent, the time was up and Teacher Chaper began to order them to plate their dishes and present them for inspection.

"Well, this one of yours is not bad, just barely passable. I'll give you an A!"

"You guys are almost there! Deduct points! One point each!"

"Two points deducted from each of you two!"

"You guys! Five points deduction!"

"Hmm, you guys use honey for this? Interesting! Okay, yours is also a!"

It should be said that it is probably because the evaluation model has just been changed and it is not possible to score according to the ABCD method, which makes Teacher Shapper a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, when giving grades to students, Mr. Shapper was inevitably a little soft-hearted and gave a few extra A's, so that students began to surround him and try to take advantage of him.

Soon, Mr. Shapper's evaluation criteria matured, and he began to attack frequently, constantly deducting points, and there was even a trend of deducting more and more points.

At this moment, it was the turn of everyone in Polar Star Dormitory to submit their dishes.

At this moment, Mr. Schapper had just finished grading the pair in front of him: "You two, your performance is terrible! The inside of the beef isn't even cooked through! Don't you even know how to defrost meat quickly? Deduct 20 points from each of you!"

"Wow! It's their turn! It's both of their turn! She seemed to have only started cooking in the last twenty minutes, right?"

"And that tall and handsome boy was late, so Teacher Chapel told him he would be treated with the highest standards!"

"Wow?! Doesn't that mean they'll all lose 49 points?!"

"That should be the case! What a shame, the tallest of those girls looks so attractive!"

"It doesn't matter if it tastes good. Mr. Chapel is notoriously cruel and ruthless. If the food doesn't satisfy him, you will be severely punished!"

"Ah?! This... Ryoko, Yuuki, and Kiyomasa-kun..."

Naturally, under the tremendous pressure of the whispers around her, Xiaohui's psychological defenses, which had just returned to normal, collapsed again.

She held the soup pot nervously, hesitating whether to put it on the plate. "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble!"

"Hey! You over there! How long are you going to make me wait? Hurry up and put it on a plate! Bring it up for me to check!"

"It's sent up! It's sent up! They're going to lose 49 points!"

With a heavy face, Megumi Tadokoro kept writing the word "person" on her palm and eating it. Amid the mocking eyes of the people around her, she took salt, pepper, fennel and other seasonings, ground them and seasoned them in the pot. Finally, she took it out of the pot, followed Yuki with a heavy face, and brought it to Teacher Shaper.

"It's incredible! So incredible... so incredible!"

The first dish served to Teacher Chapelle was the dish of Medicine King and Masochist. Facing this dish, noticing that there was no pineapple on the plate, Chapelle frowned, instinctively feeling that this dish might not be good. But after just taking out a spoon to taste it, Teacher Chapelle's expression collapsed: "This... is this the beef stew in Burgundy red wine that you made? This is impossible!"

Chapter 74: The Killer Dish

Mr. Chaper's worldview is a little bit broken. He himself is the author of the menu of "Beef Brisket Braised in Burgundy Red Wine".

Of course, one would know what the beef brisket would look like if it was stewed for only half an hour without adding honey or pineapple. Moreover, strictly speaking, the beef brisket stewed by Lin Qingzheng and his team didn't even take half an hour.

And now, Lin Qingzheng and his team brought out the beef brisket, and the result was exactly the same as the beef brisket that had been stewed for two hours normally, just as soft and tender!

Moreover, he gently took a little with a spoon and tried to put it in his mouth, and Teacher Shaper was surprised.

So… so delicious! Even better than when I made it myself! It even has a little bit of the flavor of fantasy ingredients!

This is unreasonable!

Professor Chapelle looked at Lin Qingzheng in disbelief, wanting to ask him how he did it. However, when he remembered that his master was the world's second-ranked chef, Yukihira Seiichiro, the old professor pursed his lips for a few times before finally closing them, leaving only one sentence: "Well done! Aa ...

He planned to wait until the end of this class to ask Seiichiro if this student named Lin Qingzheng was the world's number one chef, Kobayashi Qingzheng. Yes, he guessed it was Lin Qingzheng, and he had the ability to elevate the taste of food to a higher level. If he still couldn't guess who it was, he would be too stupid.

"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Chapelle!"

On Lin Qingzheng's side, after getting an "a", they happily retreated.

At this time, Tanomo Kei also placed the dish in her hand, which was also made by Lin Qingzheng, in front of the old professor.

Put pineapple?

To be honest, when Teacher Shapper saw the pineapple chunks floating in the soup for the first time, he lowered his expectations. He thought that this was the result of the two girls slightly modifying the recipe, so he picked up a spoon to try it.

"Yeah, the heat is perfect."

“Perfect tenderness.”

“Ah…this…this smell…!”

Originally, Mr. Shapper was planning to do a casual inspection, pick out one or two minor problems and deduct one point from each of the two girls, but after actually scooping a little bit of beef into his mouth, he felt like his heart was hit!

The taste is very similar to the dish I just tried, which is suspected to be the dish of Mr. Kobayashi Kiyomasa, but because of the addition of pineapple, the beef here has a hint of pineapple fruity aroma and sour sweetness.

Later, when seasoning the beef before serving, the girl deliberately added some more salt to make the sweetness and fruity aroma of the beef more distinct and more delicious!

“a…aa!”

Finally, unable to lie about this rare delicacy, the old professor stammered and gave a ".

"Oh yeah! That's great! Ryoko-chan! We got an A! Thank you! Kiyomasa-kun!"

Then, when the old professor evaluated the taste, Megumi Tadokoro, who had been trembling with fear and ready to run away at any time, jumped up with joy after hearing him finally say "a" and hugged Ryoko Sakaki and Kiyomasa Hayashi with tears in her eyes.

Although Lin Qingzheng was the true creator of this dish, and she only did the final seasoning and decoration, getting an A with her friends in her first high school class, facing the legendary "Roland the Unsmiling," a tough character, gave her a huge boost of confidence. At least, she had a little confidence in the seasoning process.

"Wow! Those guys actually all got A's!"

Just like that, everyone in Polar Star Dormitory escaped unscathed, including Yao Wang. Five people got 3 "A"s. Just like that, everyone walked happily towards Polar Star Dormitory.

"Hi! Are you guys back?"

Back at Polar Star Dormitory, as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the rich aroma of fried rice. The aroma of rice was very pure, and in addition, it was also accompanied by a hint of burnt almonds and a flaming scent. Then, a pink-haired BT poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Come on, I've exchanged some [Harvest Rice] and [Almond Cabbage], [Tuna Soybean Oil], and [Double Yolk Eggs].

I'm going to try out my signature dish using the salt that Yukihira-san lost to me before. How about it? Do you want to come and try it for me?

"A sure-kill dish?"

After hearing Isshiki Hui's words, everyone looked at him curiously. They were of course very interested in fantasy ingredients.

"It's all about using the finest ingredients and fully showcasing what you've learned! It's the essence of a chef's lifelong learning!"

While filling the plates with rice, Isshiki Hui looked at everyone and explained, "As one of the Ten Elites of Totsuki, our signature dishes usually have to be close to star-level dishes.

But now, with the emergence of fantasy ingredients, the academy has issued new rules.

The future of the top ten will surely become the bloodiest battlefield.

In this case, if there is no dish that has reached at least three and a half stars, it can be said that it is almost doomed to be overturned!

Right now, it's not just me. I'm afraid that all the students in Totsuki Academy who aspire to be among the top ten are researching their ultimate recipes! Even those who don't plan to compete for a spot in the top ten are probably researching their own dishes to prevent others from stealing their points.

Come, come, try it, try the difference in taste between the dishes made with these two kinds of salt!"

As he spoke, Isshiki Hui placed the two servings of fried rice on his plate in front of the others.

To be honest, Isshiki Hui's two dishes look really beautiful. The white [Harvest Rice] grains are like pearls, and the yellow [Double Yolk Egg] wraps the beautiful pearl-like rice. In this beautiful fried rice that looks like gold wrapped in pearls, the light yellow and thick [Almond Cabbage] is cut into thin strips, exuding the unique oily aroma of nuts.

The only difference between these two plates of fried rice, which look almost identical, is probably the aroma they emit.

On the left, you can clearly smell the explosive aroma of fried rice.

In the plate on the right, the aroma of fried rice is not that strong, but you can smell a kind of oily aroma similar to seafood fried rice, which is not strong, but clearer.

I picked up the spoon and took a spoonful. Sure enough, the [volcanic rock salt] was like a bomb that released the taste of harvest rice, the fragrance of double yolk eggs, and the refreshing taste of almond cabbage on the tip of the tongue, which had a huge impact on the taste buds.

But after eating this mouthful of fried rice, Lin Qingzheng's gourmet cells did not react at all.

When he switched to the [Colorful Crystal Salt], he could feel a light salty and fresh taste after taking it in his mouth. It was very peaceful and simple, and tasted like a bowl of the highest quality emperor fried rice. Silently, Lin Qingzheng's gourmet cells received another shock. Only a thin film remained of the level 10 barrier, but this thin film was blocking it firmly, preventing anyone from making any progress.

"These two are fried with [Volcanic Rock Salt] and [Colorful Crystal Salt] respectively?"

Looking at the two portions of fried rice and smelling their aroma, Lin Qingzheng made his own judgment: "Based purely on the aroma, I think the one fried with [Colorful Crystal Salt] is better!"

"Oh?! Why do you say that? Volcanic rock salt is many times more expensive than colorful crystal salt!"

After hearing Lin Qingzheng's judgment, Isshiki Hui couldn't help but look sideways: "Could it be that more expensive ingredients are not as good as cheaper ones?"

"No, it's not that [Volcanic Rock Salt] is inferior to [Colorful Crystal Salt]!"
