It is a taboo for judges.
Because of this, the previous dish will be too full, or because of the taste, smell, etc., will affect the comments on the next dish.
It is also unfair to the fairness of the normal game.
But for judges, this situation is unavoidable.
After all, judges are not rational and sophisticated machines, and they also have their own emotions.
In such a case, it is inevitable that the reviews are personal.
This is also the reason why the number of judges in each halberd must be set to an odd number.
Just 537 is to maintain the fairness of the judgment.
But from another perspective, if a dish is cooked, the judges present can’t help but indulge in it.
That’s enough to show the excellence of this dish.
And Yukihira Soma Cuisine did exactly that.
“Next, it’s up to Subaru Misaku to see if he can reverse the judges’ minds.”
Miyoko Hojo said seriously.
Anyone can see that at this time, the balance of this halberd-eating match in the judges’ hearts is all in favor of Kopei Chuangzhen.
How to break this prejudice and win this halberd-eating victory is the biggest problem that Subaru is facing at this moment.
And Subaru Miasaku’s cooking has also been completed at this moment, judging from his copying of Kohira Soma’s actions in the first half.
Among the theme dishes of the stewed rice dish this time, what Subaru Misaku did was, in all likelihood, stewed rice with chicken soup.
If you create your own unique chicken soup stewed rice dish based on the original chicken soup stewed rice dish of Kohei Soma.
This is the key to whether Misaku Subaru can win.
However, from the expression on Misaku Subaru’s face, he seemed to be full of confidence in this point.
“This is what I cook.”
Misaku Subaru placed three white porcelain cups in front of the three judges.
“Misaku-ryu Happy Chicken Soup Stew with Rice!”
“It sounds very similar to Xingping-kun’s Xingpingliu’s Chicken Soup for the Soul, isn’t it a copy of the name?”
“It feels like…it does.”
Just as the audience was complaining, Subaru Misaku untied the lid of the white porcelain cup.
Suddenly, three brilliant golden lights shot out from under the white porcelain cup cover!
“Wow! What’s this, the cooking actually glows?”
“What a dazzling golden color, is this the color of cooking, but what, the color of cooking will make people dazzling as if seeing light?!”
“My eyes are about to open!”
This is the first time the three judges have seen such a scene in their lifetime.
They raised their hands subconsciously, covering them in front of their eyes.
At the same time, other spectators in the Jiji stadium also clearly saw this scene through the big screen.
Except for the members of the Dark Cuisine Research Association, no one is not shocked by such a scene!
“What’s the matter, Cuisine, how can Cuisine shine on its own?”
“I, I don’t know either…”
The people in Jixingliao who came to cheer for Kohei Chuangzhen were also shocked by this golden light.
They don’t even know if this light is the color of the dish itself, or if the dish really shines.
Even Erina Nakiri in the private stand room leaned forward unconsciously and grasped the armrests on both sides of the chair.
On the beautiful face, there is a real emotion called shock.
“Cooking, actually… it glows?”
It took a long time for Nakiri Erina to tell the fact that she couldn’t believe it.
If other people in Totsuki Academy were to see what Nakiri Erina looked like at the moment, I’m afraid they would be shocked by the surprise shown by the Iceberg Witch.
But at this moment, apart from the members of the Dark Cuisine Research Association, there is no one in the venue who is not shocked by what is happening in front of them!
After more than ten seconds, the three golden rays of light gradually dissipated.
“Finally…disappeared…”
The judges wiped the sweat from their heads.
Although the golden light that existed contrary to science disappeared, but the judges felt a sense of regret in their hearts.
But this feeling didn’t last long, just as the golden light disappeared, the faint aroma of chicken soup came out from the white porcelain cup.
“Well, this is the aroma of chicken soup. Although it is very light, it can make people feel a refreshing taste.”
“Yeah, just from this aroma, I can smell the sweetness of the chicken itself in the chicken soup, as well as a lingering aroma of wine, mixed with other medicinal foods.”
“It’s not right. Why does chicken soup that is simmered with so many ingredients only have such an aroma?”
“It seems reasonable for you to say that, as if the aroma was sealed by something…”
The judges looked into the white porcelain cup suspiciously, and then suddenly realized.
“I see!”
“On the chicken soup and stewed rice… it turned out to be a layer of yellow chicken oil!”
On the white porcelain cup, a layer of light butter was condensed on the chicken broth, which was about half a finger above the level of the stewed rice.
And this oil is purely boiled from the fatty chicken skin of the chicken body, pure chicken oil!
“Is this… using chicken oil to seal the heat and aroma in the chicken soup?”
The judges looked suspiciously at the aroma of chicken and rice, and even the steaming chicken fat, which sealed most of the chicken soup.
“The use of chicken oil to seal in the heat and aroma reminds me of a Chinese dish called ‘Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles’ that I tasted a few years ago.”
“Oh, cross the bridge rice noodle, the delicious taste of that dish is really unforgettable.”
“In this case, you have to be careful when eating this dish. The temperature under the chicken oil is very high.”
Experienced judges remind others.
“But just the smell of chicken soup oozing out from under the chicken fat makes me feel like I can’t stop.”
“The umami of this chicken soup makes the brain seem to melt.”
“Even if you don’t feel any heat, the aroma of the chicken soup itself makes people involuntarily make up this warm taste in their minds.”
Lured by the scent, a judge picked up the spoon.
“Amazing heat…”
As soon as the metal spoon was put into the chicken broth, it stirred with the simmering rice.
I felt a touch of warmth, ironing the handle of the spoon.
What is even more intoxicating is that after the chicken oil on the surface of the chicken soup is stirred up, the rich aroma of the chicken soup and stewed rice finally permeates at this moment.
“It’s so fragrant… The sweet aroma of chicken, as well as a faint smell of medicinal herbs, and the aroma of old wine, perfectly blended together.”
“This smell is like turning into a sweet water and pouring into the body through the nose.”
“Just smelling this smell makes me feel tired all over my body, as if all of a sudden disappeared without a trace.”
“It’s like having a herbal sauna!”
After the judges described how they felt about the aroma, they scooped up a spoonful of the soup with soft rice, and after blowing it repeatedly, they dared to put it into their mouths.
“Whoosh…”
Whoever tasted it first kept exhaling into his mouth.
“I didn’t expect this layer of chicken oil to keep warm, and the chicken soup is incredibly hot now!”
“But when the chicken broth and rice were poured on the tip of the tongue, the rice was like cream and it just melted from the mouth!”
“The sweetness of the rice and the freshness of the chicken soup, intertwined, are far better than any thick soup I’ve ever tasted!”
Just a small spoonful of chicken broth mixed with rice packs such a strong aroma punch to the taste buds.
This was something the three judges never expected.
However, their attention is no longer on this.
Because of the aroma of the chicken soup and the sweetness of the rice, they couldn’t stop at all!
“So delicious, so delicious!”
The three judges couldn’t help themselves, and while hurriedly blowing the heat of the stewed rice on the spoons, they put the stewed rice into their mouths.
“I have never tasted such a delicious chicken soup. The unique mellow aroma of medicinal food and the strong aroma of old wine can bring such an incredible taste to the originally sweet chicken soup itself!”
“The tender and sweet chicken gives this stewed rice the soul, while the medicinal diet and aged wine make this flavor even more powerful!”
“With the sweetness of the all-inclusive rice, this chicken soup has a sense of belonging!”
Rice, as long as the word is mentioned, many people can’t help but think of home.
Because no matter it is, even a seasoned cook, or a food critic who is always running around the world.
The place where they taste the most rice must be at home!
Only when you are at home, you don’t need to worry about whether to eat or not, you can taste the delicious food on the table at will!
“It’s so delicious, it’s so delicious.”
“In each mouthful of the stewed rice soup, not only is there a rich and sweet aroma of chicken, but even the rice seems to be full of the umami of the chicken.”
“It’s unbelievable that even a very sculptural rice can taste this much!”
“Even from the beginning, it is difficult to cook chicken and rice together with wine, is it difficult to achieve such a delicious level?!”
The judges spoke up.
