Chapter 50 - Cooking competition

Kamisora ​​Reo "What do we have as ingredients?" I asked

Ran Mouri "from what I see we have a bit of everything, so we can make all the dishes we want" he said looking at countless ingredients

Kazuha Toyama "So what do you think if we make spaghetti with sauce to see our skills in the kitchen, and then we will let someone judge them. Whoever is the winner will be able to teach a little bit of his experiences to make us better in the kitchen" he proposed

Kamisora ​​Reo "doesn't seem like a bad idea Kazuha" I said agreeing with her idea

Ran Mouri "then we will do as you said Kazuha, while for the judges, we can make Conan, Heiji and my mother but also Heiji's father do it" he said as he couldn't wait to start like me and Kazuha

Kazuha Toyama "Great idea Ran" said smiling

Ran Mouri "thank you Kazuha, but it is only thanks to your proposal that I managed to pull the argument of possible judges" she said supporting her friend

All three of us began to prepare the ingredients we would use, I took the spaghetti while Ran took the pots to prepare the sauce and pasta, Kazuha went to get the basic ingredients for the pasta with sauce for possible modifications.

On a table that was big enough there was everything you need, so after we took all the things and put them on the table so we understood that a cooking competition was starting and for that we wanted judges.

Heizo Hattori "Good idea you had, with everything that happened, something was needed to change the gloomy atmosphere that had started to settle between groups of policemen, so to play the part of the judges I have no problems" he said while he was happy that there was some change ofmood among all present

Kazuha Toyama "Uncle Heizo, while the remaining judges will be Heiji, You were Ran's mother, and if anyone wants to join the group of judges, say it now, so we get an idea of ​​the portions we will have to make" he said

Conan Edogawa "then I propose Ran-Nee-Chan, I can't wait to taste your cuisine Ran-nee-chan" said happy that his beloved could make him eat even if it was only for a competition

Ran Mouri "Thanks Conan for your thoughts, I'm glad you want to taste my cuisine" he said smiling at Conan, making him blush a little

Kamisora ​​Reo "Conan then you will be one of the judges and so we will have four, does anyone want to join them?" I asked for safety but no one answered

Heiji Hattori "ok then since no one proposes anymore I would say to start the race and I can't wait to find out who is the best Chef in this villa" she said laughing because Kazuha was a bit agitated by the situation

Kazuha Toyama "Heiji! Why are you laughing at me!" She said angry and embarrassed

Heiji Hattori "Sorry it's just that I couldn't resist, because it's strange that you feel uncomfortable, you proposed the challenge" he said as he stopped laughing because he saw that Kazuha was starting to get really angry

Kamisora ​​Reo "Kazuha-onee we can as well start going to the kitchen to prepare the food, so you can show He Heiji that you weren't nervous" I said trying to calm the situation and before something unpleasant happened to Heiji

Kazuha Toyama "you have reached Reo-chan, let's go to the kitchen" she said a little more calmly as she went to the kitchen with Ran who was also trying to help her friend

Kamisora ​​Reo "Heiji you just don't know how to deal with people, when Kazuha-nee finishes preparing the pasta, compliment her to make her happy so you won't risk ruining your relationship with her" she suggested for the good of both of us.

Heiji Hattori "I don't know how you think in this way but you're right Reo" said a little surprised by my suggestion but not for the others because they hadn't heard my speech

So leaving the room where they were gathered, I went to the kitchen while the others prepared the table for the five judges.

Kamisora ​​Reo "ok now we can start the cooking competition" I said as the three of us took our seats to start cooking

I took the pasta, the sauce and the pork sausage, then with the meat in my hand I started to cut it into pieces, removing as much skin as possible, then I put them in a pan with the oil that was starting to heat up, all on fire slow as I put the lid on with the sausage inside.

I took some fresh tomatoes of the day, checked if they were rotten or if something was wrong, but everything was ok, then I washed them well and so I put them back on the table while I started to cut them in half.

While I was cutting the tomatoes I was careful to remove the seeds that were inside, this action will make the tomato puree more full-bodied.

After I finished I put it in a pot and on the stove for cooking, all over low heat so as not to risk ruining the cooking process which was essential, so I set a 30 minute timer while I saw that the pork sausage began to cook quite a bit. long, so as I liftedthe lid from the pan took some white wine and put a few sprinkles of wine to make it flavorful.

While frying I made sure to turn them a couple of times so as not to risk burning them, while I was doing all this Ran and Kazuha felt the aroma coming from the pork sausage he was cooking, while they watched the sausage I was making, the others had to seriously commit Whythey knew I wasn't joking that I was good at cooking.

After seeing the wine that was starting to evaporate, I turned off the heat while waiting for the sauce to be ready and after thirty minutes I stirred it from time to time, so as not to risk burning it I realized that the tomato was now well blended so I added a some salt and while I was shootingthe sauce from time to time.

After a few moments I put the tomatoes in a vegetable mill a little at a time to remove the remaining tomato skins for those who do not like them, so when I finished preparing the tomato I put directly where there was the pork sausage that I had heated a minute earlier.

I stewed the sausage with the gravy for a few minutes on low heat for about 35 minutes but as I didn't have time I decided to use one of my skills to speed up the cooking process while making sure it didn't get too dry so I added a little. of water keepingthe wet sauce.

After about 5 minutes the sauce with pork sausage was ready to add it to the pasta, I put some spices in a bowl to take for the judges to choose, if they wanted to put it on the dish I had prepared.

When I finished preparing everything, I put the pasta I had prepared in advance with the sauce and sausage in five dishes, then I took them to the table where Ran and Kazuha, who had already finished, were waiting for me.

Heiji Hattori "Reo you finished last," he said

Kamisora ​​Reo "yes I know Heiji, I had to prepare everything by hand to make the sauce and sausage tasty, as it should be, or it would not have been satisfactory" I said as I brought the five dishes that were covered

Heizo Hattori "Okay so it's not that there was a time limit, now everyone will put a plate to the various judges and then we will start" he said as he got ready to eat

So everyone put their plate in a row so as not to get confused, the first dish was from Kazuha, he began to taste he complimented.

Heiji Hattori "uhm ... good Kazuha, the food you made is not bad" he said making Kazuha blush a little

Heizo Hattori "good the dish you made but you have to improve yourself if you want to become good enough" she said as she wiped her mouth leaving most of the food on the plate

Conan Edogawa "good Kazuha-onee-san" he also said leaving some remains to be able to taste all our dishes

Then there was Ran's turn, when they tasted it they were more surprised because it tasted better than Kazuha.

Conan Edogawa "Um good Ran-Nee-Chan! You were fantastic" he said with a smile as he ate everything on his plate

Ran Mouri "Thanks Conan for the compliments" he said happily

Heizo Hattori "not bad for a dish" said as he just tasted it

Eri Kisaki "good Ran, you have improved since the last time I tasted your cuisine" he said, while he ate half of it

Ran Mouri "well you have to learn to cook when you keep a person who can't cook" he said referring to Kogoro

So after I finished eating Ran's plate it was my turn.

Kamisora ​​Reo "here's my pasta with pork sausage" I said as they removed the lid from the plate

When they removed the lid, an inviting scent assaulted their nostrils, making them want to eat even though they were almost full. Heizo took a fork and began to eat it and when he took his first bite he was amazed at the special taste of the meat and the gravy.

Kamisora ​​Reo "if you want you can put some pepper or chilli" I said while carrying various spices

Conan took the chili pepper and put a little on one side then ate it, when he put the fork in his mouth he felt unique flavors that he would never have imagined to hear in the world.

Conan Edogawa "and yummy !! How did you manage to make such a juicy meat and gravy that can pair perfectly with meat, spices and pasta" he said as he was shocked at the taste of the food I had prepared

Heizo Hattori "was it you who did it?" He asked in serious doubt

Kamisora ​​Reo "yes why?" I said bewildered by their behavior

Heizo Hattori "then you are a first-rate Chef in the culinary world, I am not exaggerating when I say that you are good in the kitchen" he said as he finished eating everything on his plate

Kamisora ​​Reo "Really? I thought it hadn't gone so well because it's my first time making sauce with pork sausage" I said happy to have succeeded in my enterprise

You were Kisaki "w-what! It's your first time" she said incredulously

Heiji Hattori "If that's true then your cooking skills cannot be underestimated," he said

Kamisora ​​Reo "thanks for your compliments, but now stop eating or the dish will start to cool" I said while Ran and Kazuha were surprised by what happened

So After we finished eating everyone was full while Ran, Kazuha and I awaited the opinion of the judges.
