Food That Doesn't Glow is Not Good Food

And Toyama Shirayuki and Toyama Kana...

Neo glanced at the few chefs around who might influence him, and finally cast his gaze on Xie Yunfei who just walked into the rest area.

Xie Yunfei raised his head and found Neo who was looking at him.Similar to the situation before the start of the preliminaries, he nodded to Neo, then found a seat nearby and sat down, without talking to other chefs, just closed his eyes and rested.

This caught Neo, who was just about to stand up, a little unprepared. He originally wanted to test the boy in front of him. If necessary, during the second round of preliminaries, no, before the start of the second round of preliminaries, he would take some measures to make the opponent exit.

But like now, when the other party just closed their eyes and rested without agreeing, and chose to rest in a place facing the camera lens, it was the last thing Neo wanted to encounter, rushing forward rashly, even if he succeeded Some small items I brought sent the other party out of the scene, but after the food research was carried out, with the images in the camera as evidence, I absolutely could not escape.

"Cut." With a secret spat, Neo sat down again. He hadn't given up the right to qualify for the preliminaries in the third examination room. Whether it was Kana Toyama or the boy in front of him, he had to find a way to get rid of it...

Almost twenty minutes later, with the last chef being scored by the judges, the preliminaries in the morning came to an end.

After waiting for about an hour, the second and final round of preliminaries began.

Similar to the previous preliminaries, the number of judges this time is also five, but the nationalities of these five judges have undergone slight changes.

At the forefront is still a Frenchman. His name is David Brown. He is a poet. His poems have been translated into many Chinese languages ​​and published.

Standing on David's left is an American named Love, with a hearty smile on his face, it seems that he will never feel sad.However, the stories he wrote, from detective novels to adventure stories, from romance novels to science fiction masterpieces, all end in tragedy, and he is a representative of contemporary pessimistic literature.

Standing on Alexander's left is Hikigaya Yukino from Japan, who is best at all kinds of rigorous mystery novels, but the male protagonist in his works always has a pair of dead fish eyes for some reason.

Opposite Biqigu Xue Nai and Luo Fu, there are two Chinese people standing on the right side of David, Wang Bayi and Hu Jianjun, Wang Bayi is a professor of ancient Chinese poetry, and has a very advanced research on various ancient poetry Hu Jianjun is a historian, not only proficient in Chinese history, but also has his own views on the rise and fall of many foreign dynasties.

"Then, let's start." Unlike Tony, these five judges with literati identities, after a brief self-introduction, David said so.

As soon as the words fell, Hikigu Yukino walked out from the side, bent slightly, and took out a plastic ball from the cardboard box that had been prepared.

Take it apart to reveal its subject.

--Vicissitudes of life.

Hu Jianjun stepped forward and coughed, "Same as the preliminaries in the morning, the competition time is four hours."

Chapter 215 Second Round

Life is full of... Is it?

Like other contestants in examination room No. [-], Xie Yunfei frowned.

Don't get me wrong, Xie Yunfei didn't think the exam questions in the second round of preliminaries were too difficult, but... too easy.Others Xie Yunfei didn't know about it, but Xie Yunfei himself happened to have a luminous recipe corresponding to the theme of "everything in life".

——Colorful pull.

The full name is 'Five Colors, Five Flavors, Five Spices, Healthy Slimming Salad'.In the world of Chinese cuisine and traditional Chinese medicine, the five colors, five flavors, and five fragrances themselves correspond to the five elements, and the five elements can be combined with the five emotions of people, namely joy, anger, thought, sorrow, and fear.

According to Xie Yunfei's understanding, there should be two explanations for the title of "various states of life". The first is to use the lifestyles of multiple people to refer to the various states of life. The second is to refer to the whole process of birth, old age, illness and death All the ups and downs experienced in life.

For the former explanation, it must be extremely difficult to make desserts based on this. After all, everyone’s living habits are different, and everyone’s attitude towards things will not be the same. It is impossible to express it in cooking. What's more, what Xie Yunfei wants to do next is a dessert. In the process of making desserts, he must highlight a sweetness, that is, a thriving attitude.

Of course, the difficulty of the process does not mean that there is no way to cook excellent desserts, at least, in Xie Yunfei's mind, combined with the trick Feifei mentioned to him a few days ago that only people like him and her can use Means, but it is not impossible to overcome difficulties.

only……

There are more convenient ways, why take the long way?

It is undoubtedly easier to make a dish from scratch, and to modify an existing dish. In terms of the final score, if Xie Yunfei can justify himself, then it seems likely that there will be no score drop.

Yes, Xie Yunfei chose to use the latter explanation, and the dish he decided to serve was five-color salad, or in other words, the dessert version of five-color salad.

Salads are mostly appetizers in formal Western food, but among the many salad dishes, there are also many types that can be classified as desserts. What Xie Yunfei needs to do at this time is to put The original five-color salad originally used chicken shreds, chili shreds, and green pepper shreds. The ingredients and structure have been changed to make it more in line with the concept of dessert, and it also perfectly fits the exam questions.

easier said than done...

Xie Yunfei curled his lips and glanced to the left and right.Neo, who was across the table, seemed to have thought of something to cook, and was writing various ingredients on the paper provided by the staff.Not far away, Jonathan closed his eyes tightly, as if he was a little troubled by the questions. Toyama Shirayuki and Toyama Kana, who were in the corner of the examination room, were talking in a low voice. On the surface, they didn't seem to be affected by the exam questions.

Well, let me start too.

With this in mind, Xie Yunfei closed his eyes, and his consciousness directly entered the cooking space.

……

Xie Yunfei didn't know that his performance just now was clearly seen by many people in the venue through the big screen.

Feifei touched Xiaoyun's arm, and said in a strange tone, "Yunfei, what is this?"

Xiaoyun squinted her eyes and pouted her mouth. Looking from a distance, she looked as cute as a cat taking a nap. "I think brother should have already thought of the dessert to be served. Speaking of which, if it was Sister Feifei, you would What kind of food do you make?" While speaking, Xiaoyun looked at Feifei, who was also a contestant in this year's dessert contest, but the situation was different from Xie Yunfei, Feifei was very lucky, although the [-] There is another special chef in the No. [-] examination room, but according to the official information released by the Food Research Institute, the other party has only been a special chef for half a year, and he hasn't even had time to go to 'over there'.

"Me." Feifei blinked, with a pensive expression on her face.Seeing the two talking about cooking skills, Wu Shishi and Yunlong also cast their gazes over, and in their hearts, the two were also thinking about which dessert would suit the exam questions if they were in the exam room.

After about a minute or so, Feifei opened her mouth, "If you don't take a clever approach and attack openly, I will make the Ganges noodles of the nine-star special chef Liu Maoxing. Of course, in order to fit the theme of desserts, I will change the original fried noodle dishes to Shredded fried noodles."

Feifei didn't say much, but it made Xiaoyun and the other three on the side suddenly enlightened.The three have only been special chefs for a year, so they are often restricted by some secular concepts.Just like what Feifei said, the shredded fried noodles sounded very different from desserts, but with a little decoration and a reasonable explanation, the judges would think that this is a dessert dish. As for the subsequent scoring session, With Feifei's cooking skills, it was obvious that nothing could go wrong.

"Of course, when I really come to the examination room, I will definitely use some tricks." At this time, Feifei added another sentence.She pointed to Xie Yunfei who was deep in thought in the examination room No. [-], "Speaking of which, I taught Yunfei that method not long ago, but it seems that he doesn't plan to use it."

"Eh?" After Xiaoyun heard this, the expression on her face suddenly corrected for some reason, but in the next second, she changed back to her eccentric self, who seemed to have never had any troubles.He nudged Feifei's soft waist with his elbow, and said with an inexplicable ambiguity in his tone, "Sister Feifei, you are not being kind~ There are good things that you only share with your brother, but not with your good sister and friends." Good friend, oh my, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of my cousin."

"What and what!" Feifei was caught off guard by Xiaoyun's sudden attack, and wanted to bring in foreign aid, but Wu Shishi and Yunlong looked at her with expressions similar to Xiaoyun's.How could this make Feifei bear it, stood up in a panic, left a sentence "I'm going to the bathroom", and escaped from the encirclement of several people.

Xiaoyun looked at Feifei's back, and subconsciously muttered, "Brother, that scoundrel has such a good relationship with Sister Feifei."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly remembered that her senior brother sitting next to her was her sister-in-law, and turned her head hastily. When she found that the two of them were watching the match in examination room No. [-] and didn't pay attention to her words, she breathed a sigh of relief. Cheeks are slightly red.

However, in order to prevent accidents, she still added two more sentences with the same volume, "I don't know if Sister Feifei has been harmed by my brother, well, I might as well call her sister-in-law when she comes back!"

It seems that Yunlong and Wu Shishi really didn't hear Xiaoyun's words, but if you observe carefully, you will find that they are holding hands together, and they are writing something on each other's palms.
