Hongle came early.

The three young apprentices had set up the stove early, but there were 50 judges today, and so many people would need a lot of soup.

At this time, Sasuke's Fire Release became a weapon for Ichiraku to strike first.

Fireballs were blown into the stove full of dry firewood, and a blazing flame began to burn.

"All stoves are set up, all bonfires are lit, and the game begins now!"

Boom! !

An older man with more seniority struck the gong and announced.

Game start.

Yile and Hongle immediately started to prepare the soup recipe and the ratio of noodles to water.

Both of them are experienced ramen chefs and their actions are almost the same.

However, differences soon became apparent.

Hongle's secret recipe is still diluted alkaline water, and after Naruto's demonstration, Aunt Ichile not only added salted eggs but also food-grade alkaline noodles exchanged by Naruto's system when kneading the noodles.

After mixing the three proportions, Aunt Yile began to knead the dough with all her strength.

Although she is a woman, Aunt Ichiraku's ramen skills that she has practiced over the years are still very strong.

Hongle is a ruthless person who dedicated his youth to ramen, and he is also quite proficient in these basic skills.

The two of them have their own merits in their smooth and flowing operations, and each has their own learning points.

The fifty ramen chefs in Konoha were secretly speechless at this moment.

The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

A series of operations by the two was undoubtedly a visual feast in the eyes of the fifty ramen chefs.

"Oh my god, is this Ichiraku, who has been ranked the best in Konoha for three times in a row? He is truly a wonder in the culinary world."

"Well, from an objective point of view, Ichiraku is very powerful."

"Hmph, but Hongle shouldn't be underestimated. After all, he brought back the top-secret formula. If he didn't have absolute confidence, he wouldn't be able to challenge Yile as soon as he came back and try to regain the title of No. [-] Flavor Enhancer."

"Yes, I just don't know what top-secret formula Hongle brought back."

"Not bad, it's really exciting."

On the surface, Ichiraku's technical skills are very superb, but the taste of the cooking duel is the key to deciding the outcome.

What's more, this competition also has a theme that makes the chefs change their minds.

Five minutes of standing time is definitely a test for ramen.

Naruto was not idle at this time. After all, there were ANBU and roots watching around him. As a young disciple of the Ichiraku family, he naturally couldn't be idle. He was also fidgeting with the bowls and chopsticks, ready to serve delicious soup at any time.

While Hongle was ramening, he would also look at the young master opposite him from time to time. Although he didn't understand why the master would change his mind temporarily and let Yile take charge, he was deeply impressed by the master's methods yesterday.

Although I was confused, I didn't dare to show it, so I could only ask afterward.

A master is a master. Although the master is only seven years old, this does not prevent him from respecting his master.

This principle is the key to his journey as a civilian to become a well-known chef in Konoha.

Hong Le's three apprentices frowned when they saw their master, but they didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and they worked hard to prepare the dishes and chopsticks.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the pieces of dough were softened one by one.

All preparations have been made by both parties, and the soup in the five boilers has also been boiled.

"Drink... let's dance?"

Aunt Yile shouted, grabbed two lumps of dough with both hands, and shook them vigorously. It turned out to be a two-pronged stunt.

The use of this secret technique requires extremely high arm strength, and Aunt Yile has gradually mastered it over many years of practice.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Ilaku.

However, just as everyone was exclaiming in surprise, Hongle on the other side suddenly became unwilling to be outdone.

"Roar...the twin dragons fly into the sky!"

Hongle was seen holding a piece of dough with one hand and his body was spinning at high speed like a top. The two pieces of dough he saw gradually became extremely slender.

Obviously both of them wanted to show off their basic skills in front of Naruto so that Master Naruto could look up to them.

Naruto and Sasuke never expected that the competition would reach this level.

Who would have thought that there would be extra performances during the cooking competition?

The atmosphere in the field reached a climax at this moment.

Naruto glanced at everyone's reactions and knew that it was probably the first time the two had used their secret ramen skills in front of their peers.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be so shocked.

Sasuke also showed a surprised expression at this moment.

She never imagined that a group of ordinary people could practice their skills to such an extent. Her Magatama Blood Chakra Eye had been opened and she was constantly copying the movements of the two.

"This level of difficulty is not much easier than Ninjutsu. It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance..."

Sasuke's voice was not loud, but Naruto heard it.

"Living in this world, we should not underestimate anyone or any profession."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Sasuke nodded.

While everyone was shocked and talking, Yile Hongle roared at the same time.

"Prepare the utensils!"

"Yes!!"

The three young disciples on Yile's side and Hongle's side immediately agreed loudly and quickly prepared fifty bowls and chopsticks.

Naruto also joined Iris in her work.

wow wow wow...

Fifty clean bowls and chopsticks are arranged neatly, waiting for the cooked ramen to enter.

Because there were 50 judges and there were competition questions, the operators on both sides subconsciously served the noodles first, and then added the delicious soup after all fifty bowls of ramen had been served.

"Added secret recipe to enhance the flavor and make it hot!"

"Put in the secret ingredients!"

As the two operators shouted loudly, everyone immediately became busy.

Gollum Gollum...

Four people on one side and eight people on both sides added soup in an orderly manner, added secret ingredients and other embellishments, and soon the competition ramen was made.

Both parties completed production at almost the same time.

At this time, the old man in charge banged the gong and shouted, "The competition is over. After the two sides' works have been left for 5 minutes, they will be tasted by fifty ramen chefs in Konoha to determine the winner. The winner will get the first increase in Konoha ramen." Taste the title!"

"The 5-minute countdown begins!"

After shouting, the old man immediately turned an hourglass upside down.

At this time, fifty ramen chefs who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up and surrounded the two cases.

There is almost no difference in appearance between Ilaku and Hongle's delicious ramen noodles. In a short period of time, no one can tell which one is better only by eating it.

Naruto squatted on the ground and looked at the scene in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips.

All plans are going according to his expectations. If nothing goes wrong, this time Ichiraku Ramen will become famous in Konoha because of its own MSG and other modern seasonings.

If it works properly, you won't have to worry about silver in a short time.

The inverted hourglass slowly flows down wisps of fine sand, and the two kinds of ramen displayed also undergo some subtle changes in a short period of time.

The first is Hongle's ramen. Because the ramen has been soaked in the hot soup for a long time, the surface of the originally crystal-clear, slender and tough ramen has turned slightly white.

This is the result of a significant decrease in the strength of the ramen noodles.

Seeing this scene, Hong Le also changed his face slightly. He knew the harm of alkali stone from the experiment done by the young master yesterday, so he did not dare to add more alkali water in today's competition.

Then an embarrassing scene occurred at the scene.

Originally, the theme of 5 minutes of resting time was proposed by Hongle. However, what everyone didn't expect was that Yile's secret ramen did not swell and turn white at all during the 5 minutes. Hongle's ramen was the first to hold up. Can't stand it anymore.

"Master, this..."

"How could this be? How could our ramen be inferior to Ichiraku's?"

After hearing the young apprentice's doubts, Hongle signaled for silence.

As the last sand in the hourglass drained away, another loud gong sounded.

"Time's up!" the old man solemnly announced.

"Fifty judges, now start to taste Hongle's ramen. Each judge can have two points of voting rights. In the end, the winner will be determined by the total score of both sides!"

The old man's voice immediately became solemn when he shouted.

"This ramen showdown is about the honor of Konoha ramen's best flavor. I hope the chefs who love it will give fair and just scores!"

"The tasting begins now!"
