"My cooking topic is - sushi." The pink-haired woman said with a rather expectant smile.
"Sushi?"
"what is that?"
"Is there any dish called sushi?"
The candidates present all sounded confused and looked at each other with blank expressions.
"Hmph, it's normal if you don't know. This is a traditional food of a small island country." The pink-haired woman explained.
"Okay, the rice necessary for making sushi and other tools are ready here." She asked the seventy candidates who passed the examination to enter the examination room.
It is filled with a personal cooking table, rice, sugar, salt, vinegar, and three knives for handling different ingredients.
"Can we just use rice?" Xiaojie asked curiously, looking at the rice.
"But these processing tools..." Kurapika reached for a knife.
"There should be some other ingredients needed." Someone guessed.
Aito looked at the rice on the side.
Nigiri sushi, he had made it for Brother Tou before.
But there is no food at all here...
Salmon, tuna, shrimp...
Nothing like that.
"I remember there seemed to be records in the literature that sushi seemed to be made of fish and rice..." Kurapika recalled.
"This is a forest! Where did the fish come from?" Leorio was shocked.
"Can't you keep your voice down? And aren't there any rivers or streams in the forest?" Kurapika clenched his fists and asked.
The candidates around looked at them, and suddenly, they all rushed out.
"Caught fish——!"
Leorio and Kurapika also rushed out together.
"Damn it, these guys are eavesdropping on other people's conversations." Leorio gritted his teeth.
"...Only deaf people can't hear." Kurapika complained.
"They all went to catch fish..." Aito said, looking at the suddenly empty examination room.
"Aren't you going? What are you doing here?" Menqi asked, crossing his arms.
"The fish you need for nigiri sushi that Ms. Menqi mentioned is not the fish from the forest, right?" The white-haired boy said calmly and smiled gently.
Even though there are indeed rivers and streams in the forest, the fish needed for sushi...are all seawater fish.
Why are there sea fish in the forest?
Aito thought for a moment and opened the system mall.
Anyway, Uncle System has everything there!
"Are you going to give up the exam?" Menqi asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Ah, I was just thinking about what kind of fish to use." Aito said while picking the fish.
The system store has prepared sashimi.
And it's all fresh.
Well, Aito trusts the system very much.
If it says fresh, it must be fresh.
And the price is also very cheap.
The food prices are very cheap, except for those with special functions.
Aito looked at the food that had various effects such as healing +10 and mental resistance +2 but could not be purchased, and silently shifted his gaze.
Bought several different kinds of fish fillets.
"Boom." Big Bear took out a box of salmon sashimi from his black windbreaker.
Then he touched it and took out a box of tuna and a box of amberjack.
Placed it on Aito's cooking table.
"...Are you kidding me? How come you have prepared ingredients?" Menqi was stunned.
What does that stuffed bear wearing clothes have in his clothes?
"This is what we planned to eat ourselves." Aito explained seriously.
"How can a stuffed bear eat?" Menqi asked without hesitation.
"Um." Dafu opened his mouth and pointed at his own mouth.
"Look, Dafu said it can be eaten." Aito translated for Dafu.
Menqi's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
"Even if I have the ingredients, I won't give you a pass if it's not delicious." She said this and turned back to sit down.
"Come on, your roasted whole pig tastes very good." Buhara said with a smile.
The examinee who ran to catch fish came back soon.
With their trophies, all kinds of fish.
Of course, there can't be any sea fish.
"The ratio of salt, sugar and vinegar is 1:5:10..." Aito began to make rice vinegar.
The others also started making sushi.
"I'm done!" Leorio came to Menqi confidently holding the tray.
Lifted the lid.
Menqi's expectant expression suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"How can this kind of thing be edible?" She threw out what Leorio had made without saying a word.
The fish, buried in the rice with only its head and tail exposed, was still struggling.
"Why can't you eat it? You little girl-" Leorio was charging up with anger.
"Do you want to quit the exam? If not, make me something edible again." Menqi said confidently.
Leorio had no choice but to retreat in despair.
Then Xiaojie served his own food.
A rice ball wrapped with a whole fish.
"What's the difference between you and Leorio?" Menqi still threw it away without saying a word.
"I did the same thing as Leorio..." Xiaojie said in a daze, as if he was greatly shocked.
"Cheer up, Xiaojie-" Kurapika comforted.
"Unqualified."
"no."
"Next."
Men Qi came one after another, becoming more and more careless.
"This is the cocktail-flavored nigiri sushi I made..." Killua introduced it with a confident smile as he brought his own tray.
"Disgusting." Menqi said but still poured the other person's food without hesitation.
"Tch." Killua suddenly showed a subtle expression.
"I haven't tasted any of it so far, do you want to starve me to death?!" Menqi put down her chopsticks, tapped her legs, and said with her hands on her shoulders.
"In that case, try mine." Aito brought up his sushi.
"Absolutely perfect nigiri sushi!" opened the lid.
The food on the tray actually glowed brightly.
"It's... glowing!" Some candidates said in disbelief.
"Glowing food? Interesting." Menqi showed an expectant expression.
"It's shining..." Aito nodded.
All ingredients except rice are provided by the system.
And under the control of Liuyan, all the proportions are just right, and the relationship between the ingredients is very harmonious.
Thus, luminous cuisine was born.
Is this normal?
Aito looked at the detailed introduction under the ingredients in the system mall.
[It is possible to make dishes that glow.] This line of small characters is particularly eye-catching.
So the food will glow, which is normal.
After all, Uncle System said so.
The light gradually disappeared, and everyone could clearly see the food on the tray.
Each rice ball is covered with a piece of sashimi.
There are three different kinds of sashimi.
I made nine sushi in total, three of each type of sashimi sushi.
The presentation is simple and elegant, garnished with some mint leaves.
"Please taste it." Aito said with a bright smile and full of expectation.
Menqi was silent for a moment, and finally was willing to try.
She picked up a piece of sushi with her chopsticks, slowly dipped it into the plate on the table, and then put it into her mouth.
"How does it taste?!" Aito's eyes under his sunglasses were full of expectation.
"Hmm..." Menqi pondered for a moment.
"This kind of precise control would take even a chef at least ten years to achieve. You..." Menqi looked at the white-haired boy.
Is there such a craft?
Rice, rice vinegar, fish...the relationship between them is harmonious and the taste is harmonious.
"Passed," she announced.
"Great! Passed!" Aito jumped up and threw himself on Dafu.
"Boom." Dafu patted the young man on the back.
Is it normal for food to glow? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
