Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 39: Innovators and Replicators

“Unqualified!”

Tsunozaki Taki gave the judging results after tasting the dishes submitted by the first group.

“Eh, why? I… We made it according to the cooking method in the comics, which completely fits the theme of ‘mesh but not noodles’.”

“Yeah, we’ve also tasted it, and it’s delicious.”

The first two students who submitted their dishes could not understand why their dishes failed.

“The theme of this assessment is indeed derived from the setting of the food comic “China One”, but I have said that I have to make the cuisine that has appeared in the comic?”

Tsunozaki Taki’s tone was unmistakable, staring at the two students in front of him, and said: “And the most important point, you actually copied the recipes from the manga as they were, and copied the wrong places together, without going through your brain at all. Thinking.”

“Wrong… wrong place?” The two trainees hadn’t realized their mistake.

Tsunozaki Taki pointed to the dishes the two of them were cooking in front of him, and said, “See for yourself, the side dishes completely cover the noodles and soup! In my opinion, you guys are not a noodle dish at all, but eggs mixed with beef.”

The two students were at a loss for words when they heard this. They just wanted to make dishes that fit the theme, and they didn’t expect to carry so much about the production process of “Zhonghua Yihan” cooking, but they ignored the characteristics that noodles themselves should have.

This also serves as a great warning to other students who have not yet completed or are about to complete it, and the team who copied the comics as they were, hurriedly made improvements on a temporary basis.

In fact, it’s not that they were carrying the dishes intact, but the “beef noodles” made by Xiao Han in the comics was originally an unsatisfactory “non-noodle” dish.

The large amount of eggs as a side dish completely overshadows the noodles itself, which is unreasonable when you think about it. Compared with the “non-noodle” dishes made by Lan Feihong and Liu Subaru, the layout is too small.

After the two students realized their mistakes, they immediately went back to the cooking station to make a new one. There was still about an hour left, so there was still time to redo it.

When the time came to 10:30, there were already quite a few groups serving Tsunozaki Taki the cooked dishes.

However, among the submitted dishes, eight of the ten dishes are “beef noodles”.

Although they have learned the lessons of the first group just now, most of them have been improved, but the improvement is not very successful, only a small number of one or two groups barely pass.

In this way, only three of the more than ten groups passed.

This pass rate is lower than that of Shinomiya Kojiro.

This made many students feel sorry for themselves, is this Tsunozaki Taki a little too strict?

Tsunozaki Taki himself is tasteless, because it is the same “beef noodles”, even if it is improved, it is just a change of soup instead of medicine.

At this moment, the group of Nakiri Alice and Kurokiba Ryo also submitted the cooked dishes.

The two did not imitate the cooking in the comics, but made a brand-new “non-noodle” dish based on their own understanding of cooking.

“This is a non-noodle dish that is made by crushing the shrimp and pressing it into the shape of noodles. Please enjoy it while it’s still hot,” Kurokiba, who was not wearing a headscarf, said slowly to Tsunozaki Taki.

Tsunozaki Taki immediately became interested when he heard that it was actually a “non-noodle” dish made with shrimp.

“Finally someone creates their own dishes, instead of copying the recipes from the comics.”

Tsunozaki Taki said that he was the first to pick up the spoon and put the soup in his mouth to taste.

The soup was scooped up with white smoke, and it seemed to be very hot. After gently blowing it twice, it was slowly put into the mouth.

“Well!”

After taking a sip of the soup, Tsunozaki Taki immediately felt a delicious taste called “art of violence”.

This noodle soup is actually a seafood soup made from a lot of seafood.

A lot of shrimp heads and fish innards are integrated into one, what a rough and uninhibited taste.

Tsunozaki Taki sucked the pink-colored ramen into his mouth in surprise.

Since the noodles are made with shrimp meat, they are full of elasticity and have the sweet taste of shrimp meat. The taste is really wonderful!

Tsunozaki Taki ate a few mouthfuls of noodles in a row, and his face was a little rosy.

“What’s this side dish, is it a slice of bread?” Tsunozaki Taki picked up a side dish and put it in front of his eyes.

Nakiri Alice, who was on the side, explained, “This is the side dish I made~~ It’s three kinds of cheese cut into shreds.”

“It turns out that it is made by baking, so it has a golden color?”

Tsunozaki Taki said and put the side dish in her mouth and tasted it, and her face changed suddenly after eating it.

“This side dish is also incredibly delicious, with a distinct roasted aroma, because it’s even more intense when mixed with the rich seafood base.”

Tsunozaki Taki’s face was surprised and rosy, and he took a few more bites.

From the ramen to the soup to the side dishes, this bowl is made of “non-noodle” dishes made of seafood. The taste is simple and crude, and the deliciousness is even more popular.

Tsunozaki Taki’s face finally showed satisfaction this time, and announced, “Ryo Kurokiba and Nakiri Alice’s team passed!”

After speaking, Tsunozaki Taki couldn’t help but look at Nakiri Alice and Kurokiba for a while. This “non-noodle” dish is not only very creative in terms of creativity.

And the taste is nothing to say, it is hard to imagine that such a work is from the hands of two students.

“Sure enough, innovation is the true meaning of food. Brainless copying can’t make real delicious food…”

Just when Tsunozaki Taki was thinking of this, a tall figure appeared in front of her carrying the dishes.

Seeing Mimasaka Subaru appearing in front of him, Tsunozaki Taki frowned.

From the comments of the students just now, Tsunozaki Taki had a very bad impression of Mimasaka Subaru.

Looking down, I saw a “non-noodle” dish made with beef instead of noodles.

Is it copying the dishes from the comics again?

However, unlike many students just now, the side dishes of this bowl of “beef noodles” are very special. Not only that, the soup base is also special, and it smells strong.

Tsunozaki Taki tasted it silently. After tasting it, he raised his head and asked Mimasaka Subaru and his partner students, “What processes are you both in charge of?”

Mimasaka Subaru said: “I made the side dishes and the soup base, and he was in charge of replacing the noodles with beef.”

The expression on Tsunozaki Taki’s face was obviously unhappy, and he stared at Mimasaka Subaru and said, “You are qualified.”

After speaking, he turned to Mimasaka Subaru’s hapless partner and said, “You dropped out of school.”

This hasn’t happened to any group before, with one passing and the other failing.

This was apparently caused by Mimasaka Subaru’s responsibility for the soup base and side dishes to Tsunozaki Taki’s satisfaction, and the noodles part apparently went wrong.

This also indirectly shows that Mimasaka Subaru’s “copying” is very successful and perfect.

Although Tsunozaki Taki was very unhappy with Mimasaka Subaru, but he was in charge of all aspects impeccable, she would not deny a delicious dish because of her personal selfishness.

After passing the assessment, Mimasaka Subaru walked towards the door of the cooking classroom. He deliberately passed by the Tong Yu cooking station and stopped.

“I heard that the recipes in the comics are all your original recipes… but it’s a bit ridiculous. I can read these recipes once, which means that your recipes have become something in my pocket.”
