Chapter 609
"Alright, it's my turn."
Feng Xi and Sakura also came up with the Zha Gan Gan Jiang Mian.
There was no need to play the "grand finale" card; if the noodles were left there, they would get soggy.
"Slurp—"
Finally able to eat something slightly delicious, several people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Feng Xi prepared a small bowl for Archer and the other four, while Artoria naturally got a large basin.
This is tacit understanding.
"Slurp, slurp..."
After the noodles were served, the five judges couldn't wait to start eating.
The noodles were constantly slurped into their mouths; they were reluctant to even bite them off.
Although it looked a bit oily, with the combination of Reverse Reverse Reverse Side dishes like cucumber, carrots, and bean sprouts, the taste was just right—not too salty or bland.
In a short while, they had finished the noodles in their bowls.
Of course, Artoria was the exception.
Although they all wanted another bowl, they held back.
After all, there were so many teams waiting to be judged; it would be troublesome if they were full now.
"Delicious!"
Taiga Fujimura and Artoria gave 20 points without hesitation, Luvia and Merlin gave 19 points, and Archer judged Feng Xi's bowl of Zha Gan Gan Jiang Mian from a professional perspective, then gave 17 points.
Feng Xi's final score was 95 points.
It would be difficult to compete for first place with this score; strong enemies like Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou and Tamamo-no-Mae hadn't even had their results yet.
Feng Xi could now watch the others' operations properly.
There were no flashy operations like in gourmet manga; almost everyone was just cutting vegetables and cooking normally.
Mm-hmm, this is normal.
Next to serve were Shiki Tohno and Akiha Tohno, the siblings; they made standard Japanese curry.
Mm, the taste was also a standard home-cooked flavor; although it couldn't be said to be very delicious, it was at an above-average level.
Finally, they scored 82 points, which was also a friendship score.
Next was the Lancer trio; their cooking was also wild-flavored grilled meat.
Strictly speaking, this was completed by Lancer alone; Bazett was only responsible for helping, and Caren was a complete slacker.
Why did I agree to let her join the team!
"Hmm, it's a bit dry on the outside, a bit raw on the inside..."
After cutting a piece and eating it, Archer criticized mercilessly: "You used fire magic to roast the pork leg quickly, which caused the moisture on the outside to be dried out; although it's not burnt, it's very dry."
"How should I put it, wouldn't it be better to just make grilled meat skewers? You had to choose a high-difficulty dish like roasted wild boar leg; now you've messed it up."
"None of your business!"
Criticized for having nothing right, Lancer was immediately annoyed.
Although he wanted to defend himself, saying it was all Caren's fault, he thought better of it.
Why explain anything to this guy.
In the end, the Lancer group only got 50 points, not even passing.
Of course, based on the principle of not wasting, this wild boar leg still ended up in our King's stomach.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
The Rin team also came up, and what they prepared was actually gold-leaf cream ice cream.
The cream ice cream was made by Illya, who had learned how to make it from her brother before, and the gold leaf...
This was strongly requested by the two Rins.
Anyway, the materials didn't cost money, and the two Rins said they wanted to splurge.
"I didn't expect gold to be edible."
After eating the ice cream in one bite, Artoria was a bit dissatisfied.
Too little.
"Um, there really isn't any more..."
Illya said timidly; because of the Shadow Saber in the video, she was a bit afraid of Artoria.
"Hmph, what a tacky dish."
Looking at the two Rin Tohsakas, Luvia mocked: "As expected of country bumpkins, to actually use a meaningless material like gold leaf."
"What did you say!"
The two Rins rolled up their sleeves, ready to go up and fight Luvia.
"Cough, cough..."
Captain Dragonfly stopped them in time, saying: "You will be fined for attacking the judges."
Hearing this, the two Rins had to withdraw their hands resentfully.
How unlucky, why did they let this guy be a judge.
In any case, their dish still received a good score of 85 points.
It was all supported by Illya alone.
"Please taste."
After Illya and the others went down, Sieg and the others brought a pot of soup up.
They made Ghiveci, a classic Romanian stew, mainly consisting of root vegetables like carrots, celery, cauliflower, and cabbage, which was sour and appetizing.
Although Astolfo made a mistake at the beginning, it was finally completed without any danger.
The five judges tasted it one after another; it was a very good taste, and the vegetables were stewed very soft and rotten.
90 points!
Sieg and the others weren't dissatisfied with this score; they were people who saw things very openly.
Several dishes in a row were pretty good, which made the judges feel a little relieved, and even look forward to the next one, but...
"Gan Gan Jiang Gan Gan Jiang! Okonomiyaki!"
Arcueid went on stage, immediately making the five judges' hearts jump.
Why are you so obsessed with Okonomiyaki!
Look at Arcueid's cooking again; this time, although it wasn't a volcano of fire, can that pitch-black thing really be eaten?
"Please taste."
After a lot of chaos, the five judges finally avoided the aftermath of the hellish Mapo, and the next one to go on stage was Tamamo-no-Mae, the championship candidate.
She made a high-end Japanese dish, Kaiseki cuisine.
Appetizers, bowl dishes, sashimi, fried dishes, boiled dishes, grilled dishes, and meals.
Tamamo-no-Mae served the dishes in strict order, allowing the five judges to fully experience the exquisite, just-right taste, leaving the judges all lingering in it.
However, our King was still dissatisfied; it was too little.
99 points!
It surpassed the Feng Xi group in one go, and it could even be said to be firmly in first place.
