Remember [] in one second, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
Shinto shrine.
Chiyo's mother-in-law brought the three qualified people to an old tree with many leaves.
This tree is like a giant umbrella, standing underneath to look up.
A gust of wind blew, and there was a crisp bell. Xia Yu looked up. It turned out to be an ancient tree branch, which was tied with red ropes. Many bells were hidden between the branches and leaves. The wind blew the leaves, and the bells Dance with the blade.
Moreover, the red rope tied to the branch is not just a small bell, but also a small sign similar to a wish.
"The questions for the second round of assessments are above."
The old lady turned and said slowly.
"Above?"
Only Xia Yu was shocked.
Shinji Takei and Ichiro Haseya obviously have some understanding of the second round of the process.
"You choose one." The old lady said, her eyes fixed on Xia Yu, "'immediate admission' is a privilege, and it also means that the assessment is more difficult."
Lying trough!
Xia Yu floated through the garbled heart, opened his mouth, and simply swallowed back into his stomach.
"So, who is the censor?" He was curious.
The old woman did not answer, but asked the ice cube face witch to take three long bamboo poles, and Xia Yu, Takei Shinji and Hasei Ichiro took one each.
"You can choose whatever you want."
Takeji Masai and Ichiro Hase held a bamboo pole and cruised under a tree umbrella. After a few turns, they locked their target. With a sharp knife tied at the top of the bamboo pole, the red rope was gently cut, and the brand fell on their hands. .
Looking down at the Chinese characters on the sign, Takei's face changed slightly.
And Ichiro Hase, looks like a bamboo.
"It's my turn."
Xia Yu wasn't an indifferent temper, anyway, it was a random choice. He held the bamboo pole and stroked it gently, then he caught the falling sign and showed a touch of joy.
"fish!"
On the sign, there is only a simple Chinese character.
Good luck!
After seeing this Chinese character, the thumping beating heart immediately settled down and decided the recipe he used.
"Be prepared, you can only bring your own seasonings and side ingredients!"
Leaving a word, the shrine owner slowly left with the help of the ice-faced witch.
Xia Yu returned to the shrine and asked Dojima Silver to support some special kitchenware.
As for the seasonings and side ingredients, the cooking he wants to make is actually very simple in terms of ingredients. The seasonings should just take some conventional ones, and the side ingredients can be simply not taken.
...
The second round of assessments will take place at six in the evening.
In fact, at more than five o'clock, a group of people had already gathered by Lake Ashi.
There is a ‘torii’ belonging to the Chiyo Shrine by the lake, and next to the ‘torii’ wooden arch, there are three altars lined up.
Saying it is an altar is better than an open-air kitchen counter. It is paved with stones and built with three stone benches. When Xia Yu, Shinji Takei and Ichiro Hase have arrived, there are already Hakone areas. People, clean the altar spontaneously.
All three are ready.
Xia Yu chose an altar, put the heavy box, clicked, and opened the box, which was filled with bottles, jars, oil, salt, and spice bottles.
"The environment here is really strange."
Xing Ping, who was followed by Lazhuang Ding, put down a large box, wiped his sweat, and turned his head to look around.
"Yeah, so remote!"
Tian Suohui and Morita Maki both carry baskets of vegetables. Inside the basket are some fresh side dishes, with ginger, garlic, and green onion sticks.
Vegetables are common tomatoes and onions.
Yuche painted Rina with her hands empty, standing on the altar as well, looking over the rippling lake in front of her with complicated eyes.
This is the remote and uninhabited corner of Lake Ashino. Looking back, the hill where the Chiyoji Shrine is located is unremarkable among the rolling mountains, about ten minutes away.
The time is in the evening, and the setting sun goes down, everyone has a layer of dim sunset.
The logistics team of Takeji Masai and Ichiro Haseya laid out the kitchen counters. Everyone had a clear division of labor and high efficiency. Within ten minutes, the kitchen counters were filled with brand new kitchenware. However, due to the open-air environment, the oven and the freezer Modern equipment is definitely not available.
A group of spectators gathered early on the flat ground in front of the altar.
These people, some of the nearby townspeople, are relatively old and gray-haired, and the young people among them are the followers or disciples of the trainees. The other nine trainees also came, including Dojima Silver and Ryoko Rina.
The crowd suddenly rioted.
It turned out that Chiyo's mother-in-law came, and a car was parked on the road not far away.
"Thousand generations of witches!"
"Master Witch!"
The old townspeople bowed their heads.
Both the old witch and the ice-faced witch have changed to more formal witches' clothing. The white coat is printed with complicated patterns. This formal witches' clothing is usually called'Chizao'.
Gold crown, flower hairpin, old witch dressed in a dress for the festival, and holding a kind of instrument used in the dance-Kagura Bell.
"let's start--"
The old witch said that she looked at the three trainees who were standing in the altar.
"What about ingredients?"
Xia Yu's mind was filled with question marks.
It seems to be responding to Xia Yu, a large truck with ingredients painted with the IGO logo, slowly parked on the road, several black business vans parked behind, about 20 people in black get off the truck, from the big truck, Carry boxes after box of ingredients to the scene.
Ichiro Haseya's main ingredient is a few bags of rice.
The main ingredient of Takei Shinji is raw chicken that has been slaughtered.
Xia Yu's main ingredient is live crucian carp.
The ingredients of the three people were transported to the scene, the sun disappeared to the west, and the sky was already dim. The old witch asked the staff of IGO to help fire, so the bonfire pile surrounded the three altars and illuminated the lake.
Ichiro Haseya and Shinji Takei are busy.
They all have their own logistics team. In addition to the ingredients, they prepared their own fire stove in the professional kitchen, and there were several barrels of liquid fuel piled next to the altar.
"Click"
Twisting the valve, the fierce flames burst, and Ichiro Hase nodded, confirming that the stove was ok, and turned to get the polished rice.
Take a seven or eight pressure cooker, back and forth several times, each time filled a certain amount of raw rice in the pressure cooker.
Next is Taomi.
Ichiro Hase maintains his rhythm as if it were a hidden monk, rubbing the rice grains in the cold water repeatedly with both hands, and the progress was obviously tight, but it gave a sense of breeze.
On Takei's side, he is focusing on processing non-staple food.
Konjac, green pepper, lotus root, carrot.
His kitchen counter, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is full of various vegetables.
Xia Yu turned his head to look at Ichiro Hase and Shinji Takei who were full of firepower. He was not impatient, but waited quietly.
In the afternoon, Dojima Silver and Ryoko Rina explained the second round of the assessment process to him in detail. Not to mention the too complicated things, the altar tonight is actually a stage to show yourself, the audience and the jury are the same group people.
At this time, another truck stopped on the roadside, attracting the attention of the crowd.
This is not a food truck of the IGO agency, and there is a shiny Yuanyue Group logo on the outside of the container.
"It's finally here!"
Dojima smiled, and the truck co-pilot jumped off a middle-aged man and bowed down to him. It was his deputy Hiroyuki Seto.
"Overall, the things you want have been shipped, full of cars!" Setahiro has brought Dojima silver to the rear of the car, pointing to the open rear door, which is actually stacked up and filled with a truck Of dried firewood. (To be continued.)
