Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Making things difficult

It was already 5:30 in the afternoon when the second round of duel ended.

Another hour and a half of rest, that is, around seven o’clock, today’s third and final round of duel will begin.

However, just after six o’clock, Xie Yunfei, who was resting with his eyes closed in the lounge, was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.

“What’s wrong?”

Opening the door, seeing Sato Lina who appeared in front of him with an anxious expression on his face, Xie Yunfei was slightly taken aback, and asked.

Sato Lina didn’t waste any time, and jumped straight to the topic, “The Marquis is here.”

There were only four words before and after, but Xie Yunfei understood everything.

The Marquis of Vauban, a seven-star special chef, has occupied the entire half of the European continent by himself. If it weren’t for the appearance of the Black Prince, he might have stretched out his claws to Asia and America after unifying the European culinary world.

It stands to reason that the culinary skills have reached the level of the Marquis and Grandpa Feifei, just for the sake of his own face, many things will not be done by himself, but contrary to the expectations of most cooks, the Marquis of Vauban never seems to care These.

It was as if right now, in order to get something that Japan Food Research Institute found ‘over there’, he came to Japan all the way, and kicked out Nakiri Senzaemon, who was scheduled to be one of the final judges of the dessert contest, and turned to him. And he became a judge.

As a seven-star special chef, Marquis is naturally qualified and able to assess the culinary duel between Xie Yunfei and Feifei—provided that he has no extra ideas.

But this is obviously impossible.

The drunkard’s intention is not to drink, this may be the true portrayal of the current Marquis of Vauban.

Not to mention Xie Yunfei and Feifei, nor to the other special chefs and cooks who came to watch the battle in advance, even the ordinary audience. Although they don’t know the real intention of the Marquis, they can generally guess the fact that he is here to make trouble.

“…So, the Marquis brought over two large boxes of more than ten square meters and asked me and Feifei to make a dessert that can be used to hold the first two desserts before twelve o’clock tonight based on the desserts we made in the previous two rounds. Party decoration?” Listening to Sato Lina’s explanation, Xie Yunfei, who was walking quickly towards the venue, sorted out his thoughts a little bit.

“And the number of the first two desserts must not be less than fifty. There are also requirements for the size of the decorations. The length, width and height must be at least two-thirds of the box.”

Sato Lina had a gloomy face, her tone was not much better than Xie Yunfei’s.

“That’s not counting. The Marquis of Vauban said that all decorations must be edible ingredients or their processed products. If they can’t do this, then he will use his own rights to make this year’s dessert contest no winner. .”

“Hey, hey, hey!” Xie Yunfei suddenly wanted to swear, “In this little time, not to mention me and Feifei, even Woban himself can’t do it at all, right?”

Dessert party decoration, this is a topic that is obviously biased towards western point.

In the center of a huge dining table, there will be one or more plastic sculptures made of cream, chocolate, or syrup. These sculptures can be modern buildings, historical figures, or even symbols. There are many sculptures with a certain meaning.

But without exception, these sculptural objects must have the same theme as the dishes or desserts on the table.

Seriously, because of his personality, Xie Yunfei has never made dessert decorations for parties, but he has passedI read all kinds of dessert books a few weeks ago and learned how difficult it is to make this kind of thing.

Not to mention a few hours, even if it takes a whole day, because of the ambient temperature and humidity, it may not be able to guarantee the completion of the production.

What’s more, on top of this, he and Feifei each had to complete fifty desserts each made during the first two rounds of the competition.

“Who says no.” Sato Lina also agreed, but after all, she is only a staff member of this year’s competition. Even if she is an excellent three-star special chef, she can’t change the fact that she has no way to talk directly to the Marquis .

“The head of the Longyuan branch and the special chef Huangshang are discussing this matter with the Marquis at this time. Considering the character of the Marquis, the special chef Huangshang and the head of the Longyuan branch can try to make the third round of the duel start earlier. It should be the best result, right?”

While speaking, the two had already arrived at the venue.

Not far away, Feifei was standing by the kitchen table. Seeing that Yunfei had appeared in the passage, she hurriedly waved to her, as if she was planning to discuss something.

“For the last round of confrontation, please do your best.”

“Thank you, I will work hard.”

Saying goodbye to Sato Lina, he walked quickly to Feifei’s side, looking at the girl in front of him who was also full of dissatisfaction, Xie Yunfei shook his head, and suddenly sighed in his heart.

‘System, is this the final test? ‘

[Please also ask the host to find a way to cross over. 】

The system residing in his body can predict what may happen in the future to a certain extent, and because of this, the tasks it releases are never easy for him to complete.

For this, Xie Yunfei had already expected it.

It’s just that no matter how he guessed, he would never have imagined that there would be such a big difference in difficulty between entering the dessert competition finals and winning.

Obviously, his performance in the previous two rounds of confrontation was not bad, and he was only a little short of getting the final full-level skill reward.

It’s really… a pity.

Xie Yunfei closed his eyes, made fists with his left and right hands, released them, made fists again, and released them again…

“M~ Yunfei, are you listening to me?”

Feifei’s voice sounded in his ears.

Xie Yunfei raised his head and looked in front of him.

Feifei doesn’t seem to be planning to admit defeat yet, and is constantly thinking about the strategy for the battle.

“Although time is tight, it’s not like there’s no chance at all, but one of us may give up the game.” Feifei showed hesitation, and then she seemed to have made up her mind, “Yunfei, why don’t I …”

In the next second, the girl’s words were directly interrupted by Xie Yunfei.

“I will help you in this duel.”

“Eh?”

After hearing this, Feifei didn’t immediately realize what the boy meant.

What’s happening here?

But then…

“Wait!” Feifei’s cheeks were flushed, “Yunfei, do you know what I’m talking about? You beat me in the first two rounds! As long as I help you pass the third round, then this one You are the winner of this year’s dessert competition, and with this resume, you will be much easier whether you stay in Japan to open a shop or return to China to develop.”

When coaxing Xie Yunfei, Feifei completely forgot that she was also a contestant in this year’s dessert competition. What she said to Xie Yunfei was also applicable to herself.

pity……
