Food: I was a cartoonist in Totsuki

Therefore, it can be seen that there is still a certain risk for Tong Yu and Erina Nakiri to participate in the autumn selection as the top ten, and it can even be said to be thankless.

It's only natural that you can achieve good results, after all, you are one of the top ten.

But if you don't perform well and don't even make it to the finals, you will definitely be drowned in the spit of others.

The purpose of this trial that Tong Yu participated in was very clear from the beginning, just to give the little tsundere some color.

However, later he learned about "cooking heart" from Joichiro, and he also regarded this competition as a good opportunity to sharpen his cooking heart.

Once his cooking skills are honed and matured, Tong Yu's chef level will most likely break through to the "Dragon" level.

Chapter 91 The first to show the fangs

The official start time of the qualifiers is five days later.Using this time, players can prepare the corresponding ingredients according to their own arrangements.

There are no hard and fast rules on the ingredients to be prepared, and non-finished products are allowed.For example, ingredients that need to be fermented and smoked in advance can be prepared in advance. If you only rely on three hours of on-site production time, this is simply impossible.

Just like the fermented soybeans prepared by Ryoko Sakaki, the fermentation time alone takes more than 48 hours, not counting other processes.

Tong Yu had already thought about the dish he was going to cook this time in the comic world, but to think of the recipe, he still needed to prepare some ingredients in advance.Although the ingredients are prepared at the conference venue, it is more secure to prepare them yourself.

However, the ingredients Tong Yu needs are not like Ryoko and Imusaki, who need to prepare them several days in advance. The ingredients he needs for his cooking are very common and can be easily purchased.

As for the props he needs, he has already found someone to help him build them. It will be no problem to get them before the preliminaries start...

Ryoko Sakaki needed to prepare some fermented ingredients and went to the food market outside the school with Jun Imusaki, Megumi Tadokoro, and Yuki Yoshino.

Tong Yu also had some time to relax, and when he was about to return to Jixingliao, he saw Meisaku Subaru not far away.

"Beautiful work!"

Tong Yu called out to Meisaku Subaru from a distance.

"Tong Yu."

Meisaku Subaru saw Tong Yu coming to him in confusion and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Tsk, how can you talk like this? Why can't I come to you when I have nothing to do? You are my little brother. You shouldn't have forgotten this, right?" Tong Yu said deliberately.

When Meisaku Subaru heard Tong Yu's words, he immediately changed his tone and lowered his head: "You...what are your orders?"

Tong Yu was quite satisfied with Mizusaku Subaru's attitude. He nodded and said, "I won't let you do anything, but I will give you something."

Tong Yu said and took out the [150 Falling Star Steel Rod] from the system backpack space.

This steel rod was originally a kitchen utensil unlocked by the steel rod of the number one pastry chef in mainland China in "Chinese Ichiban". This was the reward that was bound to Mimasaku Subaru last time.

Last time, I couldn't give him the things because I had other things to do, and then the school vacation was delayed until now.

The entire steel rod is black, about two meters long, and weighs 25KG.

With such a length and weight, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to pick it up, let alone use it.

But the steel rod of the Falling Star was like a toy in Tong Yu's hands and could be picked up with one hand.

"This...is this?" Subaru Meisaku felt that the steel rod in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Haha, do you have some impression that you have seen it somewhere? Yes, this is one of the kitchen utensils that appeared in "Chinese Ichiban", called the 'Falling Star Steel Rod'." Tong Yu said.

Meisaku Subaru stared at the steel rod of the falling star in front of him, his eyes flashing: "You want to give this to me?"

"Yes, although it is not as good as the legendary kitchen utensil, it is still a rare and precious kitchen utensil. I will give it to you now, and you will no longer have to think about other people's kitchen utensils."

Tong Yu said and threw the steel rod in his right hand towards Mimasaku Subaru.

Mimasaku Subaru didn't know the weight of the steel rod, so he wanted to catch it with one hand, but the moment he touched the steel rod, he quickly switched to holding it with both hands, and then he reluctantly caught it.

Although Mimasaku Subaru was tall and strong, it was a bit difficult to hold the steel rod with both hands.

"How about it, you still like this thing. However, it's a bit difficult to use your current physical strength." Tong Yu said with a smile.

"Indeed, but this makes it more challenging." Subaru Meisaku looked at the steel rod in his hand with excitement in his eyes.

"This steel rod will be your kitchen from now on. I hope you can make good use of it. Also, work hard in the preliminaries. I don't want to see my men fail to even make it to the finals." Tong Yu said.

Hearing Tong Yu's words, Meisaku Subaru showed his signature weird smile: "Don't worry, I'm well prepared this time and I won't embarrass you."

"That's good."

---------------Time dividing line--------------

Time soon came to the morning of the start of the qualifiers, and Tong Yu and the rest of the Jixingliao set off to the designated venue.

Yesterday, every student who wanted to participate received a notification of grouping.

Dou Yu, Soma, Ryoko Sakaki, Jun Imusaki, and Zenji Marui were assigned to Group A.

Yuki Yoshino, Megumi Tadokoro, Daigo Aoki, and Shoji Sato were assigned to Group B.

After everyone in Jixingliao encouraged each other to cheer, they each took the kitchen utensils, props, ingredients, etc. they brought with them and began to enter the preliminaries venue.

The official start time of the preliminaries is 9 o'clock sharp, and around 8:30 most of the players have already arrived at the cooking venue.

The spectator seats in the two qualifying venues A and B were also full of spectators.Most of these audiences are students from Yueyue, a few are collaborators, important guests from Yueyue, and lecturers from Yueyue also find their seats and sit down, waiting for the start of the preliminaries.

The autumn selection competition is a traditional competition event in Toyuki, and it attracts as much attention as some famous food columns. You can still see TV reporters at the cooking venue. They are making final adjustments to the equipment and waiting for the start of the preliminaries.

For such a large competition, a master of ceremonies is definitely indispensable.

The person in charge of hosting venue B is Rei Kawashima, a well-known first-year professional emcee, while the emcee of venue A is a new face.

Compared to Kawashima Rei, who usually started the show with the "Three Cuteness Shows" that set the mood at the venue, the emcee named Yui Sasaki seemed a bit frightened, and her tone of voice was also much weaker.

"Hello everyone, I am the emcee of today's venue A, Yui Sasaki. Everyone... are you ready? The preliminaries for the autumn selection are about to begin."

Yu Sasaki is not a strong talker, and because of her petite stature, she gives people a feeling of "not very good". However, she is the emcee designated by Totsuki, and everyone can't help but respect her, and they all listen to her talk about what's going to happen next. Explanation of the game.

"The cooking time for this preliminary competition is 180 minutes, which is three hours. The deadline for cooking is 12 o'clock sharp. No...but anyone who completes the cooking in advance can be sent to the judging table for the five judges to taste. "

Everyone looked at the judging table in the direction of Sasaki Yuai's finger, and saw that there were already five judges sitting on the judging table.

There are four men and one woman, two of whom look like old men are Yuanyue's partners, and two middle-aged men, one is a famous gourmet and the other is the planner of a well-known food program.

As for the remaining young woman, her background is even greater...

"Hey, hey, no way. She... why is she here? Yueyue can still invite her to be a judge!"

"My sister is in venue A, so my sister should be in venue B, right?"

"It's amazing, we even invited the 'Curry Queen'."

That's right, the person who is sitting on the judge's seat like a queen at this time, putting one leg on top of the other, exposing her slender white thighs, is Senbia Natsume.

Senato Natsuya is the granddaughter of the founder of "HUB Foods", the leader in the curry industry, and is also the current CEO. When she was young, she was famous for filming curry commercials with her sister Senyo Senami.Because the only one company dominates almost the entire curry market in Japan, it is called the "Queen of Curry."

Tong Yu also took a few more glances at this attractive girl... but seeing her disdain for all the students, Tong Yu was looking forward to what kind of expression she would show when she tasted the food.

Obviously, the "Curry Queen" didn't think everyone present would serve a dish that satisfied her, and the theme was still "Curry".

If Qianbiao Xiaya hadn't been entrusted by her sister Qianbiao Xana, she wouldn't have come here to serve as a judge.

And the person who entrusted Qianbiao to his mother was Yi Sehui...

"There are five judges in total. Each judge has 20 points of scoring power. The total score of the cooking is 100 points. The four with the highest scores will enter the finals, and then..."

Yua Sasaki explained all the rules that need to be paid attention to in the preliminaries in a moderate voice. When the time came to 9 o'clock, she announced loudly again: "The time is up, then... then I announce that the preliminaries of the autumn selection will be held." Officially begin!"

After saying this, the students in front of the cooking table all took action.

Following the actions of the participating students, the TV reporter in the corner of the cooking venue also began to turn the filming equipment.

It's impossible for them to capture a cooking competition involving multiple people at the same time in every school. They usually only capture more representative shots...

"Hey, what is this student planning to do?"

The camera was pointed at Tong Yu's cooking station. At this time, the large broadcast screen in front of the audience also showed the situation of Tong Yu's cooking station.

In the camera, Tong Yu was seen taking out a black iron ball from under his feet. The iron ball was hollow inside and could be split in half.

"Iron ball? This should be a mold for cooking."

"Is Tong Yu going to cook something weird again? This time it won't be the food from the comic book "Chinese Ichiban"!"

This is not the first time that the first-year students have seen Tong Yu "recreating" dishes from the comic "Chinese Ichiban", so when they saw him taking out such strange props, it was easy to think of this possibility.

Tong Yu's cooking station is very close to the judging table, and Qianbiao Xiaya can clearly see his actions without looking at the broadcast screen.

Seeing Tong Yu playing with the iron ball, Qianbiao Xia Ya also became confused: "What is he doing?"

"Haha, the intentions of the top ten are unpredictable. I really look forward to his cooking." said a judge with a mustache next to Xia Ya.

The mustached judge is called Shigeyuki Koda. He is a very famous gourmet in Tokyo. He is also a frequent judge in the annual autumn selection competition.

"Ten outstanding?"

Senato Natsuya didn't know Tong Yu, so when she heard what Koda Shigenujin said, she couldn't help but ask: "You said he is a top ten? Didn't you say that the top ten still won't participate in the autumn selection?"

"It turns out that Xia Ya doesn't know that there are special circumstances in this year's autumn selection. There will be one top ten in area A and one in area B. The top ten in area A is called Tong Yu, and he is a Chinese chef." Xiang Tian Shigeyuki Shin stroked his moustache and explained briefly.

After hearing this, Qianbiao Xia Ya finally showed a look of expectation on her face: "Are you the top ten in the first grade? It seems that this preliminary round is not as boring as imagined."

Chapter 92 The “Innovation” of Ryoko’s Elegant and Beautiful Works

The camera at the scene did not focus too much on Tong Yu, because there were strange movements now, and he was not the only student who attracted the camera. "What is that big man doing?" Qianbiao Xia Ya followed the shift of the camera and turned her attention to another person.

The mustachioed Koda Shigenuchi also sounded suspicious: "Soy milk machine? This is grinding beans... It should be to make tofu or soy milk."

"kindness?"

At this time, Tong Yu had just finished "assembling" the props. He turned around and looked through the camera lens and saw Subaru Misaku grinding soy milk~.

The "big guy" Senbia said just now was Mimasaku Subaru!

Tong Yu took a look at Mizuko Subaru's main ingredients. In addition to soybeans, there were also black beans.

"Soybeans and black beans...I see, are you going to make that dish?"
