He gripped the tablecloth tightly with both hands, trying to steady his swaying body.
The air around her felt heavy, making it hard for her to breathe.
Her eyes began to fill with pain and disgust, as if the delicious food that had once filled her with anticipation had now turned into a disgusting filth.
At last.
The urge to vomit grew stronger.
Like a wild beast that has been imprisoned for a long time, it rampages through her stomach, searching for an outlet to vent its anger.
That frail body.
At this moment, it began to tremble uncontrollably.
Even each breath became rapid and difficult.
She tried hard to control herself and not to lose her composure in this elegant dining space, but her body's instincts made it impossible for her to resist.
……
"As expected!"
Managi suddenly spoke, despite her weakness.
Her voice was as cold and clear as a Hokkaido glacier: "A safe zone built with expensive ingredients is, in essence, a betrayal of the essence of cooking."
Nearby, Antonio's silver knife clattered to the ground, revealing the fatal cowardice of this WGO three-star chef's proud "molecular reconstruction technique" in the face of the God Tongue.
He fears any variable that might disrupt perfection, much like an obsessive-compulsive person who fears leaving ink stains on a blank sheet of paper.
"Antonio."
You really disappoint me!
Then, Nakiri Managi said coldly.
"sorry!"
Antonio was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, his back drenched in sweat.
He knew that if his cooking was criticized by Nakiri Managi at this time, then his culinary career would be over.
……
"Your seafood risotto."
"It certainly meets the standards of a WGO three-star chef, but it has several major flaws, such as..."
"The texture of squid rings loses 37% of its elasticity when thawed."
"It should have been compensated for by low-temperature aging, but due to the error in thawing time, the fibers broke, resulting in a false chewiness like playdough when you eat it."
"besides."
"The moisture content of the rice exceeds the safe threshold."
"The normal value should be 62%, but based on my divine tongue, it is estimated to be 68%."
"thus."
"During the second heating, starch retrogradation occurs."
"A gelatinous film forms on the surface of the rice grains, reducing their integration with seafood juices by 41%."
"Also, there was an excessive amount of mayonnaise added. The actual amount used was 2.3 times the theoretical value, which masked the original flavor of the seafood."
"And its emulsifier reacts chemically with the pectin in canned tomatoes, producing a sulfide odor similar to vomit, and even..."
Even the control of the heat.
"I never expected it to be such a disaster!"
"The frying temperature was set to 180℃, but the ideal value should actually be 160℃. This caused the surface to carbonize quickly while the inside remained uncooked, resulting in a strange texture that was hard on the outside and raw on the inside."
"Furthermore, the deliberately made crispy rice crust is 8mm thick, while the standard should be 3 to 5mm."
"Its acrylamide content, a bitter substance, exceeds the standard by 300%, creating a double blow of burning sensation and rusty taste on the tip of the tongue."
……
To the end.
Antonio was filled with despair.
The air in the entire dining space seemed to have been drawn into a vacuum.
The world-renowned three-star chef Antonio's pupils contracted sharply the moment he heard Managi's analysis, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as if being choked by an invisible hand.
"This is impossible……"
Finally, in such a repressive environment.
Antonio's accent shattered into pieces as he trembled!
Chapter 105 Topic
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight.
Before the curtain of night had fully fallen, the clock struck 6:00.
In the distant sky, the east is ablaze with a magnificent sunrise, its colors dreamlike and enchanting, as if nature itself had painted a picture with the most delicate brushstrokes.
Morning mist!
Like a light veil.
It gradually dissipated under the gentle caress of the breeze.
A gentle breeze rises, carrying a fresh and fragrant air, like a lively sprite, gently caressing every inch of skin.
It makes people feel refreshed and invigorated.
……
now.
All eyes were on the Far Moon Resort.
This place, which is like a culinary paradise, has more than a dozen hotels scattered in a well-organized manner.
These hotels are not operating independently, but rather under the unified brand of Totsuki Resorts. Like a closely connected family, they share the glory and dreams of Totsuki Resorts!
In fact.
The reason why the Far Moon Resort is so famous is because of this.
Its appeal lies not only in its beautiful environment and excellent facilities, but also in its intricate connections with Totsuki Academy.
Because it is directly under the jurisdiction of Totsuki Academy.
This unique background makes it a desirable place of employment for many Totsuki Academy graduates.
Some graduates.
People with a love for food and superb culinary skills will gather here.
Through their joint efforts, this place has gradually become a well-deserved food paradise in Japan.
It also attracts food lovers from all over the world who come here specifically to taste the mouthwatering delicacies and experience the unique culinary charm of Far Moon Resort!
……
however.
At this special moment.
Dojima Gin, the head chef of the Totsuki Resort, stepped forward with steady steps.
He stood tall and straight, his eyes revealing a sense of authority and confidence, like an experienced general about to command an important battle.
His gaze swept over the freshmen who had undergone rigorous training.
Looking at their slightly tired yet spirited faces, he nodded in satisfaction.
Subsequently.
He picked up the phone.
The voice was loud and clear, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"from now on."
"The Far Moon Resort will officially reopen."
"In a moment, many guests will be invited to the Totsuki Palace, where they will have breakfast."
Dojima Gin's voice echoed in the air at that moment.
Every word seemed to strike a chord in the hearts of the new students: "And your task is to create for them..."
"Delicious food!"
……
Speaking of it.
Dojima Gin paused for a moment, his gaze becoming even more serious.
"There are two important assessment criteria for this training program."
"First."
"Let these judges evaluate your dishes."
"You need to strive to gain their approval, which is not only an affirmation of your culinary skills, but also an important step you have taken on your culinary journey."
His eyes revealed his expectations for the new students, encouraging them to perform at their best.
"Another evaluation criterion."
"The requirement is that each of you must prepare more than 200 meals within 3 hours."
Dojima Gin emphasized the importance of this assessment standard: "New students who cannot sell 200 or more breakfasts will be considered to have failed and will be expelled!"
This statement came out.
The atmosphere at the scene became tense.
The students, already in poor spirits due to the grueling training, now felt even more pressure.
They know it.
I want to finish within 3 hours.
The goal is to devise a breakfast dish that everyone will love, and to ensure that more than 200 servings are sold.
It's simply... as difficult as climbing to the heavens!
……
From another perspective.
This project, which recreated the scene of breakfast in a hotel, was a severe test of their comprehensive abilities.
After saying that, Dojima Gin announced that the project had officially begun.
As his words fell.
The entire venue became lively as all the new students participating in the residential study program began to get busy.
Some of them rushed to the kitchen to prepare ingredients.
Some stood in front of the worktable, thinking about the breakfast menu.
There’s more…
They then exchanged ideas.
They try to gain inspiration from each other's ideas.
……
Suddenly.
A rich and enticing aroma wafted through the air.
