As he spoke, Ming Miao started to put things out, such as portable stoves, knives and cutting boards, seasonings and tableware, pots and pans. Everything was prepared very completely and could be used right away.
[The subject matter is not limited. The scoring will be conducted by three judges, with a maximum score of 10. The top three of this competition will be selected based on the scores!]
[Then I declare that the finals will begin, meow!]
Along with the cheers from the audience, the five contestants started to cook the dishes they thought were most suitable.
Yixian was very calm. Even though she was being watched by countless pairs of eyes, she still appeared to be slow and unhurried. Watching her cook was like watching a performance, extremely pleasing to the eye.
The dish she wanted to cook didn't seem to be very complicated, which could be seen from the ingredients she asked Mingmiao for.
Fresh green leafy vegetables, some dried chilies, a few fresh chilies, a few cloves of garlic, a piece of ginger and basic seasonings, it looks like you are preparing to stir-fry seasonal vegetables.
Tiancheng was making desserts, and she probably started preparing them last night, so she only asked Mingmiao for some miscellaneous kitchen utensils, and did not use any pots, pans, or bowls at all.
Atago went to ask for fresh salmon, but she didn't know where Mingmiao got the salmon from. The salmon Atago got was obviously dead not long ago and had not even been frozen.
She cleaned the salmon carefully, then used a knife to slice the fish meat, getting it to the right position, thickness and length to ensure the ideal texture and taste.
Lafite also asked for a fish, a sea bass, and then began to process the fish scales and gills. From his movements, it was obvious that Lafite was not very skilled. The fish scales flew everywhere and the fish skin was slightly damaged in some places.
Sheffield is the most eye-catching.
She was really very confident, at least that's what she seemed on the surface, with a calm expression, delicate face, unhesitating movements and quick processes, everything about her made her look like a master chef.
If that unknown thing in the pot wasn't emitting black smoke.
To be honest, if we hadn't seen with our own eyes that Sheffield put chicken in it, everyone would have started to suspect whether this was a witch's potion-making scene.
An hour passed quickly, and soon the final cooking competition came to an end. The contestants stopped one after another, indicating that they had completed their dishes.
[Since everyone is ready, then... let's start with Yixian's, meow?]
Yixian nodded to indicate that he had no objection, then divided the dish he made into three portions and brought them to the judges' tables one by one.
It was a plate of ordinary stir-fried vegetables, with green leaves paired with bright red peppers and dark red dried pepper segments, and a little minced garlic on the surface. Although it looked simple, it tasted very fragrant.
Su Xin seemed to be completely unconcerned. She picked up a leaf and started eating. She found it slightly spicy, with the unique aroma of minced garlic. The temperature was just right, as if the time was right for cooking, ensuring that the dish was bright in color and easy to eat.
use.
"Hmm... 9 points." Commander Su gave the score after taking two bites. "Although it looks simple, it tastes very good, and it has chili in it. It's my favorite dish."
Ayanami put down her chopsticks after taking a bite, "...six points, although it is undeniably delicious, but I don't understand why chili peppers were added to the dish."
The yellow chicken team leader held up a sign that read "8 points", but unfortunately, it could not explain in detail why it was given this score, and could only bury its head in pecking at vegetable leaves to fill its stomach.
[Okay, then Yixian's final score is - twenty-three! It's already very high meow! Next, please let Tiancheng show you the dishes meow!]
What Tiancheng made was indeed a snack called Daifuku, or Snow Meringue. Its pure white appearance looked very simple, but after Su Xiaozhizhi ate it, he found that it was filled with mung bean paste and fresh fruits.
It is slightly cool when you put it in your mouth, and the taste changes from the slightly elastic skin to the soft fillings and the different feelings of different fruits, which perfectly interprets the sense of layering.
The little commander gave it eight points, mainly because the fruit filling she got was strawberry, which was a little sour, and she didn't like sour fruits other than oranges.
Ayanami gave it a score of nine, because this was a Sakura Empire dessert that she was familiar with and loved, so it was very enjoyable to eat. In addition, it was made by a Sakura Empire senior, so it meant a lot to her.
Captain Yellow Chicken scored six points, probably because it was not convenient for him to eat Daifuku and he looked rather embarrassed. In addition, the wild birds basically did not eat fruits, which made the score low.
Next was Atago. Ayanami also liked Atago's sashimi, but in order to protect the underage commander, she actually wanted to give a low score against her conscience. But when she saw the 2 points given by the commander, she felt relieved and gave points.
The true score.
The reason why Commander Su gave 2 points was not because of Atago, but because she didn't like to eat raw food, and Atago didn't know that, so she made all raw salmon sushi. Commander Su only ate the rice under the fish, so naturally the score was .
not tall.
Captain Yellow Chicken didn't give a high score either, because it could only peck at the sushi separately, the fish and the rice, which was really torture. It felt that it was being looked down upon, so it kept jumping on the table.
Sheffield…let’s not talk about it. The moment her royal dish was served, she had already lost the possibility of winning the competition.
Finally it was Lafite. Her dish was undoubtedly the fish braised in red wine that she had just learned yesterday. Although the fish looked a bit miserable and the skin was not quite intact, it tasted good and the little commander could eat it after the alcohol evaporated.
"Eight points, I guess. It's the first time I've eaten a dish cooked by Lafite for me. I'm pleasantly surprised." The young commander looked at Lafite, who also seemed somewhat embarrassed, a little embarrassed, and lowered his head to take another bite.
Captain Ayanami was fair and gave the dish a passing score of six points, because although it didn't look very good, at least it tasted like a dish. With Sheffield as a comparison, she felt that Lafite's dish was actually quite good.
Captain Yellow Chicken gave it a score of seven. This was a dish that he could enjoy well, it didn't stick to his mouth, he didn't have to peck at it, and it wasn't scary, so he was quite satisfied.
At this point, the final top three have obviously surfaced.
[Congratulations to Yat-sen, Tiancheng and Lafite for winning the top three places in this competition! We are also very grateful to all the audience friends. Let us look forward to the next competition, which will be held at some time.
"Lafite, that's great! You succeeded!" Xiang seemed to be more excited than Lafite, shaking the white rabbit's hand. "Yesterday I said you didn't know anything, but I didn't expect you to be so talented. It seems that I am the one who made the decision.
We worried for nothing!"
Lafei shook his head, "Actually, it was Sister Yixian who taught me how to do it..."
"Don't be modest." Z23 smiled. "You are already very impressive to learn how to cook in just one afternoon."
Lafei was very happy to hear that, and thought about going back to have a couple of drinks first, but he accidentally heard Ming Miao muttering while packing up the props not far away: "Hmm... these dog-crawling words... are they from a yellow chicken? What the hell is it that they write infrastructure in the specialty assessment?
12
"This picture... sense of justice, should be Ayanami, right...?"
"Hmm?" Ming Miao's voice suddenly paused, "Why are there still people writing [sleep]... Really meow..."
Rafi was stunned when he heard this. He silently counted the assessment items in his mind, and matched them one by one. Then he paused for a while and couldn't help but curled his lips.
Javelin saw Lafite's expression and asked her, "Hmm? It seems that you are very happy after winning the game~ You looked expressionless before, and I thought you really didn't care that much."
Rafi nodded, his smile growing a little.
"..Yeah! I'm very happy."
ps: I don't have time to check for typos, I don't know if there are any, if you find any, please let me know...(>人<；)
Chapter 305 Preparation before departure
The three people who will accompany Su Xin home to meet her parents have been decided. Except for Atago who is a little regretful, everyone else accepts it well. After all, playing is playing, and it's time to be serious.
Since Commander Su Xiao chose to bring the ship girls back this time, it means that the three ship girls accompanying him represent their entire port area.
Regardless of words, actions, or behavior, she had to try to leave a good impression on Su's father and mother. At least she couldn't let them think that "my daughter suffered."
Therefore, it would be safer to choose some ship girls who are less likely to make mistakes. Amagi and Yixian are both ship girls with good sense. As for Lafite, if she doesn't drink in front of Su's father and mother, she should be very popular with them.
Su Xin's hometown is quite far from here, in the southern part of the mainland. It may take three or four days to take a train from the port area, and [Calling Tide] is in another direction. This is why the young commander only went home during the winter and summer vacations.
If we calculate based on the arrival date on October 1st, the ship girls will have about two days to prepare, and they will have to set off two days later.
Yixian actually felt that there was nothing to prepare. After listening to the little commander's description, she felt that Su's father and mother were not the kind of people who were old-fashioned and they attached great importance to the little commander's growth process, so she just let things take their course.
However, after Su Xin thought about it, she still spoke up to remind Yixian, "Well... Sister Yixian, I think you may need to change your clothes..."
"Hmm?" Yixian, who was cooking, turned down the heat. "Why do you say that suddenly?"
Commander Su looked at the hem of the other person's cheongsam, which only covered one-third of her thighs, and the black stockings that reached the middle of her thighs, and didn't know how to start the conversation.
Yixian waited for a while but received no answer, so she turned around to look. She found that Su Xin was looking at her legs with a look that seemed to show that she was worried that she might catch a cold. Yixian then realized that she might have worn something too short.
"Which style of clothes would be more suitable for me?"
Commander Su thought for a while and gave his opinion, "Actually, any daily clothes will do, but the length may need to be increased. My parents have never seen such short clothes..."
Yixian smiled and nodded in agreement.
She had actually been planning to change into another outfit when she went out. After all, in her own port area, it wouldn't be a problem to wear anything. But it would be a different story when she went out.
Yixian still remembers that when she went to [Call the Tide] before, because she did not change her clothes, many commanders in reserve came to talk to her. In the end, she solved the problem by changing into the clothes of a young commander.
But since Su Xin reminded her, she would not explain any more. After all, it was her own child who cared about her, so there was no need to argue.
Moreover, she has confidence in herself and believes that she can be loved by Su's father and mother.
Amagi was also preparing some things, and the first thing she considered was her younger sister Akagi.
After all, after she left, no one would take care of Akagi, and he would probably fight with Shokaku and Atago every few days. Although they were just minor fights, it would not be appropriate if no one mediated.
Therefore, Tiancheng went to visit the royal Hood and Guanghui in the afternoon.
"Hmm? I haven't seen you here for a long time." Hood smiled at Tiancheng and poured some tea for Guanghui who was sitting opposite him. "Would you like some black tea?"
Tiancheng nodded and greeted Guanghui, then took a seat at Hood's invitation and participated in today's royal tea party.
After the tea party was over, Hood cleaned up the table and looked at Tiancheng who was waiting quietly. He asked her, "Why did you come to see me today?"
Tiancheng nodded, "You know, I have to go out with Susu, but if I'm not here, in case Akagi makes trouble again, please help me keep an eye on him. 99
Hu De thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just a small problem, so she waved her hand and agreed on the spot, "No problem, anyway, it's the same whether you watch one or two."
Guanghui knew who Hood was talking about, so he smiled reservedly. The Royal Ark had been causing Hood a lot of worry recently, and now with the addition of Akagi, no one knew what would happen next.
Seeing that she agreed, Tiancheng didn't insist any further. After thanking her, he was about to leave. However, Hood seemed to have something else to say and stopped her.
"Hmm...it seems that when you go to a place to visit relatives, you will bring some gifts or local specialties, right?" Hood remembered something and took out a plate of food from the ship's space.
"Take this with you. This is one of the most famous dishes in our royal family. Put it in the space and heat it up in the microwave when the time comes."
Tiancheng lowered her head and looked at the many fish heads in the delicacy for a moment, then naturally accepted the gift, nodded and said goodbye, and secretly decided to seal this dish in her space and never see it again.
As for the second thing, Hood was right. She really needed to prepare some gifts for Su's father and mother.
Most of the time, the Sakura Empire would send snacks or local specialties, but there didn't seem to be any suitable specialties in their port area for her to bring back.
After much thought, Tiancheng decided to bring some flowers, fruits, fine wine, and health products like most humans did. She felt that this would not go wrong.
The main reason was that the young commander hadn't told them much about the past, which resulted in them knowing relatively little about Mr. and Mrs. Su.
If he asked Su Xin now, she would definitely tell Tiancheng not to worry so much and just go there. However, Tiancheng felt that it was too hasty to go there empty-handed.
There is a third thing. Tiancheng wanted to learn more about Su Xiaozhi from Su's father and mother during the National Day. After all, the silly roe deer at home never likes to gossip, so they can only deepen their understanding through daily interactions.
Lafite, who won the victory with a dish of braised fish in red wine, was still immersed in the note written by the little conductor yesterday.
She recognized Su Xin's handwriting, so after going up to Ming Miao to confirm, Lafite was happy the whole day and even stopped drinking for the first time in a long time.
Lafite felt very happy, this note showed that Commander Su had feelings for her, and that they meant a lot to her. Compared to the past when it was difficult for them to even sleep together, Su Xin had changed a lot now.
As for Su's father and mother whom he was about to meet, Lafite was not very worried.
She is a destroyer, and judging from her appearance, she may just be in junior high school. Logically, she should be more popular with uncles and aunts.
As long as she doesn't drink red wine and sleep late during the few days she's there, she will definitely leave a good impression on Su's father and mother, and then she can lay the foundation for her marriage proposal later!
Hmm? You mean it was the commander who proposed to her?
It doesn't matter who you marry, right?
So Lafite slept well with great anticipation.
Chapter 306 The Story of Su Ming and Wei He
Two days later in the morning, Su Xin set off with the ship girls, whose clothing styles were so uniform that they looked like sisters.
Su Xin was very open and aboveboard in this outing. After all, she was not going to do anything that could not be exposed, so she set out in a swagger and even ran to the gendarmerie to ask Ayanami to help maintain order around the port area.
Ayanami would naturally agree, because this was also part of her job, and now that the commander of the port had left, a certain royal aircraft carrier in the port might do something.
Even if Su Xin didn't say it, she would send more people to ensure the safety of the destroyers.
When Commander Su saw Ayanami agreed, he thanked her happily, looked at the time and waved goodbye. Ayanami waved at her with a wooden face and watched her walk out of her office and close the door.
Then Ayanami glanced at the calendar, flipped through the next few months, thought for a while, and then continued her work.
Su Xin swiped her ID and picked up the tickets at a discounted price, then took the three ship girls into the station to wait for the train with ease.
There were a lot of people in the hall and all the seats were occupied, so the four of them could only find a clean corner to stand. Fortunately, they didn't have to bring suitcases, which saved a lot of trouble.
There was still some time before the train arrived, and the people who came here were not the kind of people who were obsessed with playing with their mobile phones, so they seemed a little bored.
So Yixian suggested, "Susu, why don't you tell us about your parents? We don't know anything about them yet."
Su Xin was stunned. Seeing that the three of them looked very serious, she thought about it and agreed, "Okay, but there's not much to say. Our family is just an ordinary family..."
"Well, my father's name is Su Ming and my mother's name is Wei He, so at first my father wanted to name me 'Su He', but my mother disagreed, saying that her own name was not very nice, and she had to give me a better name.
, and finally chose "Su Xin".
"My hometown is in a small village in the south. Um... Typhoons occasionally come there, but most of the time they are minor. There may be heavy rain during the National Day holiday."
"My father has three older brothers and a younger sister, but my mother is the oldest in the family and has only one younger brother."
