The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 14 Chapter 14

"Did you see that? This is the man who said he wanted to become a 'Ten Heroes'."

"It's just a transfer student, I bet he won't survive the first grade."

"You don't need to say that? Out of ten people, at most one person can be promoted to the second grade. Why is that person called him?"

……

Standing in the practical classroom, these annoying voices kept buzzing in Zheng Ke's ears.

Zheng Ke lowered his head and pretended not to hear.After all, those words at the opening ceremony were really too ostentatious. Now that I think about it, those words did attract (attract) and pull (hate) wind (hate).

"Hey, are you the transfer student?"

Just when Zheng Ke was in a trance, voices came from his ears.

"Yes, may I ask, are you..."

Zheng Ke looked at the blond girl who was half a head shorter than himself in front of him, and didn't understand why she greeted her "unlucky" self.

This girl is less than 1.6 meters tall, has a thin body, and her long hair is tied into a ponytail, making her look extremely capable.

At this moment, the girl was looking at Zheng Ke with a face like a porcelain doll.

"My name is Sugisaki Asami, a freshman in high school. We are partners in this class."

Speaking of the word "partner", Asami Sugisaki's tone suddenly became serious, obviously not satisfied with Zheng Ke's partner.

"Then please take care of me."

"It's not enough to take care of me a lot. Don't hold me back when the time comes."

Fortunately, Zheng Ke was already mentally prepared, so he was not surprised by Sugisaki's indifferent attitude.

He had a hunch that at least for half a year, his situation would not be better than that of Xingping who had just entered the first year of high school.

"The teacher is here..."

Who knows who yelled, and the classroom, which was still whispering, fell silent in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a female teacher about 50 years old walked into the classroom.

"Dear students, good morning, welcome to the high school. Not everyone has the opportunity to stand here, and more people have become your stepping stones. From this point of view, you are successful. I hope you If you can make persistent efforts in the coming time and achieve better results, don’t fall behind.”

The female teacher smiled and put her hands together on her chest, which made people feel a sense of warmth.

(Good luck, at least not Roland Chapelle. If you meet the "chef who can't laugh" again, your luck will be extremely bad.)
Zheng Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that although he said some inappropriate things at the ceremony, his luck is at least a little better than Xingping.

"Damn it, why is it her? What a nuisance!" Mami muttered in a low voice.It seems that Mami is far more bored with her than Zheng Ke.

"Who is she?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.

Mami glanced at the female teacher who was still talking nonsense, her voice became very low.

"This old woman is called Hiroi Hidena, nicknamed 'Smiling Assassin', or 'Laughing Tiger', she talks to everyone with a smile, but as long as she offends her, all the scores are E, and Cuisine It is not directly related to whether you are good or bad. Unless you can reach the level of 'Ten Outstanding', otherwise, you will definitely be suppressed by her. By the way, you didn't offend her, did you?"

Zheng Ke shook his head.

Are you kidding? He and Teacher Hiroi have never met, how could he offend her?
"That's great, I offended her."

Mami's face was gloomy, and a fine layer of sweat oozed from her forehead.

"Nani?"

Zheng Ke looked at her partner, but she nodded very seriously.

"If both of us offend her, then this class must be an E-evaluation. There is still a chance of survival, so this class is up to you. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Asami clasped her hands together with a pleading expression.

"However, if I get an E review because of you, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost. Do you hear me?"

Before Zheng Ke had time to react, Mami's face had already turned cold, and the speed was comparable to "face changing".

She clenched her small fist and shook it in front of Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke has a black hair. He thought that the time will finally turn around, and whether it will be good or bad, he has turned himself into the master since then, but he didn't expect that bad luck would still follow him like a shadow.

Among the students around, many of them lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Hiroi, and some were muttering words, and kept drawing small circles on the table with their fingers.

"Okay, having said so much, shall we start today's class? Today's menu is 'Teriyaki Squid'. Teriyaki Squid is a dish with squid as the main ingredient. It has a mellow taste and is not complicated to make. I will It takes one hour to write the recipe on the whiteboard. The finished group will be sent up for me to grade, and the timer will start now.”

Hiroi, who was smiling, didn't seem to notice the small movements of the students below, but talked about today's topic.

As soon as the words fell, the students immediately hurriedly prepared the ingredients.

"Teriyaki... Teriyaki squid?"

What is this?I have eaten squid, but I have never cooked squid.

Zheng Ke looked at the whiteboard with black lines, confused.

"Hey, new here, you don't know what 'teriyaki squid' is?"

Mami looked at Zheng Ke who was a little dazed, and had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"I haven't eaten it. I have eaten a lot of squid on iron plate." Zheng Ke replied honestly.

"OMG, why do I have such a wonderful partner... Didn't you say that you want to become the No. 1 of Yuanyue Academy?"

Asami rubbed her forehead, her whole body was suddenly filled with a sense of powerlessness.

"It doesn't matter, isn't there a recipe on it? I am very good at learning." Zheng Ke patted his chest and said confidently.

Since she is unable to change the status quo, Mami can only do her best to make the food the best. As for the result, it is estimated that the E-evaluation will not escape.

Just when Mami cheered up and was about to give it a go, she found that the few broccoli left on the operating table had been oxidized by the air, and the emerald green broccoli was now slightly yellow, and the plump and tender flower balls were also gone. There is a tendency to shrink and loosen.

In her impression, the academy would never prepare such defective ingredients, and she didn't know why there were defective products mixed in this time.

After reading the recipe, Zheng Ke also came to the operating table. He also found the old broccoli and couldn't help frowning. Such ingredients must have an impact on the cooking.Especially Japanese cuisine is very concerned about the appearance.

Suddenly, there was a slight laugh in the classroom.

Zheng Ke looked towards the laughing voice, only to see a few people with smirking faces secretly looking at him.

Although the other candidates did not show their dissatisfaction, it was obvious that everyone was gloating about their misfortune.

(Damn it, who made you dance like that?)
(Want to be at the top of Totsuki Academy? Bah, I think it's the bottom!)
(Aren’t you awesome? I’ll give you a chance to show off, and don’t let us down.)
……

"You caused the trouble yourself, you solve it yourself."

Mami's face also pulled down, it seems that the E-review is unavoidable.

(This is only the first day of class in the new semester, and I have to face such a dilemma, so depressed!)
Asami stomped her feet angrily and turned her head away.

Zheng Ke was not angry either, and jumped out of the remaining broccoli with a slightly better-looking broccoli, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, we will definitely pass this time!"

"Pass? We don't even have the materials, how can we pass?" Mami puffed her cheeks and said.

"Don't worry, if you don't want to fail the first day of school, just help me."

"It's also your fault that you failed the exam."

"It could be you, too."

Zheng Ke secretly pointed to Teacher Hiroi on the podium, Mami immediately shut up.

Zheng Ke cleaned the broccoli, drained and chopped it, put it into a boiling pot, then grabbed a squid from the pool, put it on the cutting board, cut the squid open, and cleaned the internal organs.

Mami opened her eyes wide and looked at Zheng Ke. She didn't expect a transfer student to be so proficient in knife skills.After the kitchen knife in Zheng Ke's hand drew a few smooth arcs on the squid's body, the squid was instantly cracked into squid pieces of the same size.

"Quick, prepare the sauce." Zheng Ke picked up the lid of the pot, took out the broccoli in the boiling water and put it on a plate, while ordering Mami to prepare the sauce.

"Oh, I'll go right now."

Mami responded and immediately went to find the seasoning.

Through the research on the recipe just now, Zheng Ke found that the difficulty of this dish lies in the sauce, which is the so-called "teriyaki sauce".

This kind of sauce has a mellow taste and a very bright color, so it can be poured on the outside of the squid without affecting the appearance of the squid, and it can also add to the taste of the dish.

Teriyaki sauce is the key to the whole dish.

Zheng Ke put the fried squid on the plate, but suddenly heard Mami and others had a quarrel.
