**Chapter 1573: Five-Colored Dragon Pearl Soft-shelled Turtle Soup!**
Teresa's evaluation was indeed fair.
But her evaluation could not change the Shokugeki result at the venue.
First round, Shokugeki World side, wins!
"Next, everyone will have thirty minutes of free activity break time!"
"Please return to your position after thirty minutes to enjoy the duel of the second round!"
An, with her elegant demeanor, held the microphone and diligently controlled the entire process of the event.
Hearing this, the audience at the venue rose to move around.
Anyone who has been to school knows how uncomfortable it is to sit still for over forty minutes.
The waiters at the venue also began cleaning the kitchen used by Nakiri Alice and the other two.
As for Jessica's kitchen, it had already been cleaned thoroughly by them.
The waiters only needed to put the cooking utensils back in their original position.
Not long after.
The seemingly not-short thirty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Fifty-five thousand audience members returned to their position, looking forward to the upcoming Shokugeki.
"The theme for the second round is... Soup!"
"As everyone knows, soup is often categorized as part of the appetizer, and it needs to serve the purpose of whetting the appetite and setting the mood for the subsequent main course!"
An gave a simple introduction.
Actually, she felt this was a complete waste of time, as even Primary School Students knew this theoretical knowledge.
But the prompt card required her to say these things.
The reason was that audience from other worlds might not understand.
Wow, this was truly surprising.
"Next, we will announce the chef lineup for the duel between the two sides!"
As soon as An finished speaking, avatars and names lit up on the screen above.
At the same time.
One person stepped out from each side.
"The head chefs for the two teams are the former Director of 'Totsuki Academy', Azami Nakiri, and the Special Grade Chef of the 'Sea Star Chef Association', Thatch!"
(Azami Nakiri)
(Thatch)
The former is the villain boss of this world, while the latter is Im's Imperial Chef. This can definitely be called a clash of powerhouses.
"Azami Nakiri's chosen assistant chef is Saiba Joichiro and... huh?"
An was stunned, looking at the second assistant chef slot on the screen which remained without an avatar or name.
"Oh, oh, oh, Azami Nakiri voluntarily gave up the second assistant chef!"
Azami Nakiri smiled elegantly and looked at Saiba Joichiro who walked up beside him.
"My chemistry with Senior Saiba is enough to handle any opponent."
Saiba Joichiro pouted, "I don't remember our relationship being that good, but I'll just go all out, Nakamura!"
On the opposite side, Thatch's assistant chef choices were also confirmed.
Streusen and Jessica!
Among them, the former's Eat-Eat Fruit ability is simply too suitable for an assistant chef.
Basically, no matter who the head chef is, they would choose him.
As for the latter, Thatch originally wanted to ask Zeff for help.
But Zeff said he needed to concentrate and observe the opponent's cooking process for a while longer.
Thatch was a little surprised by this, but immediately understood the deeper meaning of the words.
Host An's voice sounded again.
"Then please, both sides, begin selecting ingredients and cooking utensils!"
Azami Nakiri and Saiba Joichiro quickly walked towards the ingredients area.
On Thatch's side, he left Jessica and Streusen to look for cooking utensils, while he himself went to the seasonings area.
After all, as for ingredients, Streusen could just cut wood and get them, there was no need to specifically look for them.
However, what Thatch didn't expect was that he actually saw Azami Nakiri taking the seasonings provided by their side, which was truly unexpected.
"You dare to use these unfamiliar things?"
Thatch stared at the 'Sea Salt produced in Water Seven' in the other party's hand and asked in astonishment.
Azami Nakiri smiled, "I still don't dare to use the meat and seafood from the Otherworld, but for basic salt and oil, and vegetables and fruits that look relatively normal, I think they are worth a try."
"Vegetables and Fruits?"
Thatch's eyes immediately moved to Saiba Joichiro not far away.
Indeed, the other party's basket contained green Hami Melons and colorful Sweet Peppers.
And they were all magical plants produced from Jupiter!
Although he didn't know what they were going to do, in this way, the gap in ingredients and seasonings was significantly reduced.
One has to say that Azami Nakiri and Saiba Joichiro were truly bold and reckless enough.
This was a 'world-class Shokugeki' in the true sense!
Thatch's eyes immediately became solemn.
Next, both sides returned to their respective kitchens and prepared the ingredients in an orderly manner.
However, the speed of the two sides in this round was completely opposite to the last round.
On Thatch, Streusen, and Jessica's side, they were stewing meat soup step by step using a pressure cooker.
There was no choice, for something like soup, under conventional methods, they couldn't be fast even if they wanted to.
However.
On Azami Nakiri and Saiba Joichiro's side.
First, they slaughtered thirteen soft-shelled turtles on the spot, bled them, rinsed them, and cut them into pieces.
Then, they sequentially put them into thirteen iron pots filled with clean water.
Immediately after, they poured in an appropriate amount of yellow wine, white pepper, and several ginger slices.
Started the fire, and blanched them!
After finishing, they poured out the water, rinsed with cold water, and the soft-shelled turtle meat pieces were transferred to clean cooking bowls.
Then, they put yellow wine, white pepper, ginger slices, as well as sea salt and Frost Sugar into them.
Finally, they poured in high-quality natural mineral water that submerged the meat pieces.
Normally speaking, they would then need to use a steamer and steam for over an hour!
But Saiba Joichiro had just obtained the recognition of the 'Legendary Cooking Utensils' Turning Dragon Pot.
So he only needed to sequentially put the portions of 'Soft-shelled Turtle Soup' into the pot and wait quietly for three seconds.
When he took it out again, the soup was already steamed!
Such effectiveness completely surpasses all modern technology steamers.
The key is that it can not only steam, but also boil, roast, and ferment.
Anyway, as long as it is a cooking process, it can be completed immediately within three seconds!
However, although the Soft-shelled Turtle Soup was finished, Azami Nakiri's Hami Melons had not been processed yet, and those Sweet Peppers had also not been processed.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this early on.
Immediately, together with Saiba Joichiro, they put the thirteen steaming hot portions of Soft-shelled Turtle Soup into the 'Legendary Cooking Utensils' Spirit Storage Vault that he controls.
In this way, no matter when they were taken out, they would always be in their initial state.
Immediately, the two people began processing the Hami Melons and Sweet Peppers.
In this way, Azami Nakiri and Saiba Joichiro completely finished the thirteen portions of dishes in less than fifteen minutes!
This scene made the three people in the kitchen opposite somewhat shocked.
Compared to the Eternal Spirit Blade from the last round.
The Turning Dragon Pot and Spirit Storage Vault appearing in this round were clearly more impressive.
Especially the Turning Dragon Pot.
The process that originally needed an hour was shortened to several seconds and guaranteed 100% quality?!
It wasn't just them.
Tens of thousands of audience members throughout the entire venue were all shocked and wide-eyed.
Including An, who personally explained what 'Legendary Cooking Utensils' were.
Although she already knew these things in advance, she still felt extremely surprised.
She had seen many strange cooking utensils before, but this kind of cooking utensil, like a miracle, was truly the first time.
"Well, that... May I ask if we should wait for Mr. Thatch's dishes to be completed?"
An looked at Azami Nakiri, who was the head chef.
"No need, I am very confident in this dish. Even if separated by twenty to thirty minutes, I believe all the judges will find it deeply memorable!"
Azami Nakiri smiled confidently, facing his wife's look.
Before, when he was flipping through a large amount of ancient books at the 'WGO' Headquarters, he accidentally saw the description of a certain Imperial Shokugeki in a certain book.
Among them was a dish that was 'like fish but not fish, like soup but not soup', which was extremely artistic and attracted his attention.
Immediately, he remembered the approximate production process and began to try recreating it alone, then made improvements according to his own concept and modern cooking skill.
"All the judges, please try it. This 'Five-Colored Dragon Pearl Soft-shelled Turtle Soup' of mine!"
As soon as Azami Nakiri finished speaking.
The lids in front of Charlotte Linlin, Nakiri Mana, and others were gently opened by the waiters.
Immediately, cyan radiance and white cold air poured out like a surging wave.
