Shiji Starts from the Beginning of the Month

"Senior Jiang Xia, this competition may not be as simple as it seems."

Jiu Wo Zhaoji's tone was very serious, as if Jiang Xia went to Longtan and Tiger's Den.This made Jiang Xia a little interested.

"How do you say, you mean, this competition is not as simple as asking me to be a judge?"

"That's right, Mr. Jiang Xia, you should know that Emiya Korō is a member of the Improved Chinese Cuisine Research Association, and this association has many members who served as judges for this competition in previous years.

Although Xinhu Tianjing seems to be afraid to take action against Senior Jiang Xia because of the relationship of the commander-in-chief, but this does not mean that no one in the association will take action against Senior Jiang Xia. Anyway, the worst result is to quit the association.They always feel that it is very profitable to exchange the limit for one. "

After thinking for a while, Jiu Wo Zhaoji continued to add: "Actually, according to the tradition, Senior Jiang Xia just joined Yuanyue this year, and they should not invite you until next year's competition. This is also a matter of convention among these chefs. , but now, they were invited in the first year..."

The meaning of Jiuwo Zhaoji is very obvious. Being able to make them make changes can only show that some people very much hope that Jiang Xia will participate in this review.

"But I'm just going to be a judge, what can they do?"

Jiang Xia asked with some uncertainty.

"Ha ha."

Jiu I Zhaoji sneered.

"Senior Jiang Xia, do you know that there were judges before, and they completely lost their sense of taste because they tasted the dishes. Naturally, they dare not do it openly, but if they make a very spicy or very bitter dish, it will affect people's taste. , and just in front of Senior Jiang Xia."

Fuck, after listening to Zhao Ji say this for a long time, Jiang Xia feels that people are a bit stupid. Is this still a chef? How can this broken association be the same as the underworld.

"Is this what Xinhu's house looks like, that Feisha?"

Jiang Xia asked, if there is a conflict with Xinhu's family at that time, it will be very difficult for Fei Shazi to be caught in the middle.

"Xinhujia is not bad, they don't like this kind of atmosphere, but their strength can't change anything. The association is jointly managed by several families. To put it bluntly, Xinhujia is the superficial management before being pushed to the stage. That’s all.”

Kuga Teruki replied that it is unreasonable for the Improvement of Huaxia Cuisine Association, as the oldest and largest association in Sakura Country, to be controlled by a family.

This is just because some people just like to put themselves behind the scenes, they like and are obsessed with the feeling of being behind the scenes.

"You mean to suggest that I don't go and find a reason to refuse them."

Jiang Xia asked Jiuga according to Jiji.

"If you don't go, I'm afraid Senior Jiang Xia will not only offend the Improvement of Huaxia Cuisine Research Association, but also add another Hojo family. After all, they should have specially investigated the schedule of Senior Jiang Xia's schedule. This is what I just said There is no reason to speak."

After a while, I replied.

"Indeed, I think the same way. Since they don't want to make a move, they should let the problematic dish fall into my hands in a way that at least looks very fair. Based on this, this game, It’s not impossible to break.”

If I didn't remind myself for a long time, then Jiang Xia might really be cheated on.

But the power of the conspiracy is that it is hidden deep enough, and if it is put on the surface, it will not be so difficult to deal with.

For example, Jiang Xia would say that he had a stomachache and ran away temporarily, which would damage his reputation.

It just so happened that through this event, he wanted to see what kind of people were in the Improved Chinese Cuisine Association.

"Since Senior Jiang Xia thinks there is no problem, then it will be fine. When the time comes, I will go with Senior Jiang Xia. I am very familiar with those people."

After a long time, I replied according to Ji Wenyan.

One week, whether it is long or short, Jiang Xia will go to class and live normally.

During this period, the finals of the autumn selection were also held as scheduled, and as expected, the final champion was Soma Xingping.

Nakiri Alice got No.2.

The end of the autumn selection also marks that the academic year of Yuanyue College will soon come to an end.

"Because there was a period of absence in the Huaxia cooking class, the school's arrangement is that our end-of-semester test is the last class."

Jiang Xia said to the students in the audience.

"Then Mr. Jiang Xia, what is the format of the exam?"

A student in the audience asked.

"Good question."

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, and then went on to introduce the content of the exam.

"Considering the particularity of the chef school, in addition to the necessary written exams, we also have a practical test of cooking, requiring you to make a Chinese homemade snack. I will tell you in advance that you can start preparing it now."

Snacks, have to be homemade?That group of Huaxia people have basically come up with all the possible types of snacks, and they have created their own. Teacher Jiang Xia's question is obviously to make them fail the exam.

Chapter 164 Hojo Building

Regarding the students' complaints, Jiang Xia could no longer hear them. He is now going to Hojo Building with Teruji Kuga to participate in the annual Chinese Cuisine Rookie Chef Competition.

Hojo Building is located in Yokohama, and it takes six hours to start from Tokyo. Therefore, the two simply set off one day earlier and arrived at Hojo Building on the first night of the competition.

As a judge, a place to rest, the Hojo Building will naturally not be missing.

It is an imitation of an ancient Chinese building that occupies a very large area. The overall layout is in the form of a square enclosure. There are open-air seats in the middle courtyard, which is suitable for those guests who are more yearning for nature.

This is the largest restaurant in Yokohama, and it is also one of the best Chinese restaurants in Sakura Country. Hearing the news of Jiang Xia's early arrival, Takashi Hojo waited at the door early.

He was a capable but tough middle-aged man, with a solemn face, not angry and pretentious. To be able to manage such a large restaurant, without any means, it would be difficult to move an inch.

"I think this is Mr. Hojo, the main chef and owner of Hojo."

Jiang Xia saw the middle-aged man waiting at the entrance of the restaurant from a distance, so he walked up to greet him quickly.It is enough courtesy for the other party to come out to greet him in person, Jiang Xia naturally cannot be rude in front of others.

Standing next to the middle-aged Miyoko Hojo in Hanfu, Jiuga Zhaoji was a little dumbfounded. This school girl looks silent, but she is actually quite attractive, but it is a pity that she has a mouth.

"Welcome, Mr. Jiang Xia. I have heard that you are very young. When I saw you today, I realized that Mr. Jiang Xia is even younger than I thought."

Hojo Takashi said with a smile.

"Teacher Jiang Xia and classmate Jiu must have dinner. Then, our Hojo Building will be responsible for the dinner for the two of you. Please enter the private room and wait."

Hojo Takashi gestured to Hojo Miyoko who was beside him with his eyes, then turned and left.

"Teacher Jiang Xia, I'll take you there."

Kitajo Miyoko received her father's instructions, so she led Jiang Xia to the private room.

"And what about me?"

After a long time, I Zhaoji was a little unhappy. He was so big standing here, and this school girl pretended as if she couldn't see her. Uncles could bear it, but aunts couldn't bear it.

It can be seen from this that Jiu Wo Zhaoji's understanding of Chinese culture is really not high, and it even makes people doubt whether he has passed the Chinese class.

"Ah, so my senior is here for a long time. I'm sorry, because of your height, I didn't notice you just now."

Miyoko Hojo said as if she had just discovered Teruki Kuga.

Forbearance, Jiu I spit out a word in my heart, I can't bear it, there is nothing I can do, this is someone else's territory, I came here once a long time ago, and I was punished by all the staff of the Hojo Building because I offended the young lady of the Hojo Building resist.

Although these people don't approve of the young lady's entry into the kitchen, they are surprisingly unanimous on the issue of respecting the foreign Jiugao.

The two of them had just sat down in the private room, drank the barley tea before the meal, and the food was served.

So fast?Jiang Xia was a little surprised. If those restaurants in the previous life could serve food with this efficiency, then there would be no need to worry about being complained by diners that the food was served too slowly.

Sweet and sour pork, dry-roasted shrimp, egg rolls with leeks, twice-cooked pork, and almond tofu were brought out in sequence. Considering that it was a meal for two people, Hojo House did not present too many dishes, but the most popular dish of Hojo House. Five regular dishes.

But Jiang Xia knows that the more conventional the cooking, the more it can reflect the chef's skill.

Takashi Hojo's act of inviting himself to dinner is nominally a reception from afar, but in fact, it has the meaning of a demonstration.

The sweet and sour pork is sweet and sour but not greasy, and it melts in the mouth. The Hojo House should use the best Nuodeng pork. The local mountain pork is delicate in texture and even in fat and thin. It is most suitable for this kind of dish that needs to be thickened.

Dry-roasted shrimp is not a Chinese cuisine. In the country of cherry blossoms, this is called Chinese cuisine because it is a dish invented by the people of the country of cherry blossoms. The deliciousness of the shrimp and the homemade sweet and sour sauce are aimed at catering to the cherry blossoms. Chinese people like the taste of sweets.

Leek egg rolls are also an improved dish. The leek egg rolls are made by combining thick eggs with leek boxes. Eggs and leeks are the best partners. In this dish, it has reached the extreme. Every bite, two The proportions are just right.

Twice-cooked pork is also slightly different from Huaxia. When stir-frying sliced ​​meat in Huaxia, they like to add green peppers. However, the people of Sakura, who don’t like green peppers, replace this ingredient with cabbage and use it with sliced ​​meat. , and maintained that juicy taste.

The final almond tofu is a dessert. It has a delicate taste like tofu, and it is also varied because of the bitter taste of almonds and the sweet aftertaste.

It can be said that each of the five dishes on this table can be regarded as the most famous dish of improved cuisine, and the skill of this cook is very high!

If you want to describe it intuitively, every dish is not inferior to Emiya Korang who was eating halberds with Jiang Xia at that time!

It is even said that it is still above Emiya Kuro.

I'm afraid I have to open a domain to fight against it. Hojo Lou, there is such a powerful chef?

Could it be Takashi Hojo, Jiang Xia thought about it, then shook his head, it couldn't be him, he was still receiving him at the door just now, if he can cook this level of cooking in such a short time.

Then he should stop being a chef, he can directly become a god.

If it wasn't the main chef of Hojo, who would it be?

Just as Jiang Xia was thinking, Hojo Takashi opened the door and walked in. He first saluted to express his apology for interrupting Jiang Xia's meal, and then asked.

"Teacher Jiang Xia, what do you think of these five dishes? Can they still catch your eye?"

"Mr. Hojo, please don't tease me. If every chef in Hojo Building has this level of cooking, then I dare not be a judge. Each of these five dishes has been tempered to the extreme in terms of cooking skills. , is the master of improving Chinese cuisine."

Jiang Xia said that although he knew that this should be Takashi Hojo's demonstration, but for good cooking, it is necessary to give a good evaluation, which is the basic rule of the chef.

"Okay, I thought you were an arrogant kid before, but I didn't expect you to be very upright. It seems that you can't believe all the rumors, so I just judge you. I can't hide behind anymore, I have to come out to see you. "

An old man's voice came, the back door of Jiang Xia's private room was actually pushed open, and an old man in traditional Chinese costume walked in.

Chapter 165

"Bei, Grandpa Hojo! Are you still alive?"

Seeing the old man, before the rest of the people could speak, Jiu Wo Zhaoji took the lead in breaking the silence. He spoke so shockingly that the jaws of all the people in the room dropped.

"Jiu Zhaoji, what are you talking about, how is it possible for grandpa, uh, that."

Miyoko Kitajo rushed forward and gave Teruki Kuga a hammer on the head, and then explained to the old man: "Kuga was just talking for a while, he didn't mean that."

That's right, the old man in front of him is Miyoko Hojo's grandfather, Takashi Hojo's father, and Takizo Hojo, the former helm of Hojo Building.

"It's okay, this time it's not his problem. After all, the news I spread to the outside world is that I have disappeared."

A few years ago, Hojo Takizo, the previous helm of the Hojo Building, suddenly disappeared, so Hojo Takashi succeeded him. In the past few years, Hojo Takizo has been missing. There are rumors that he may have encountered an accident.

That's why there are the words that Jiu I Zhaoji blurted out just now.

"Boy, you are very good."

Hojo Takizo turned his head to look at Jiang Xia, and then continued: "I heard that you defeated Emiya Korō, the fame and fortune dealer. Rumors say that you are young and vigorous, speak wild words, and trample the improved Chinese cuisine to nothing. Seeing you praise my cooking so much today, it seems that most of the rumors are not credible."

"Then these five dishes are from the hands of the seniors? But why did the seniors declare their disappearance and give up the Hojo building with such superb skills?"

Jiang Xia asked a little puzzled.
