Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

On the second day of Liu Maoxing's internship at Yuanyue Hotel, he had finished his lunch...or it was already four o'clock when the daytime cooking tasting session ended.

As a cook, on the contrary, my meal time is the most irregular. After all, during lunch and dinner, the cook is preparing dishes for the diners...

Or just concentrate on being a connoisseur or gourmet?

This kind of thought only flashed in Liu Maoxing's mind.

If there was such an opportunity when he just crossed, Liu Maoxing would definitely choose this relatively easy path in the short term, but now he denies this idea in his heart without hesitation!

Liu Maoxing has already tasted the multi-course dishes of six chefs in the high-end VIP western restaurant, including chef Thomas, and many of them are tiger-level dishes.

But Liu Maoxing has also discovered that his Super God Tongue is not a panacea for finished recipes!

It's just that in Yuanyue College, the students develop new dishes by themselves, which are usually not finished products. Even the must-kill dishes of the top ten are not necessarily finished products!

For example, in competitions and eating halberds, the new dishes presented by everyone are only preliminary completion, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

For a star chef to develop a special new dish, it will take several months to perfect it, and if it is a tiger-level new dish, it may take years or even several years to perfect it...

The role of tasters is to shorten this time several times. For those star chefs, saving a few months of research and development cycle is equivalent to how much intangible income? How much faster will it make your cooking skills improve?

This is also one of the reasons why Erina, who has the God's Tongue, is still sought after by countless star chefs despite her price tag of millions and her venomous tongue and arrogance.

Another reason is naturally because Erina is also a world-renowned gourmet, and her comments, even if they are just neutral comments that are neither positive nor negative, are enough to bring me extra fame...

Usually many tasters are also gourmets, but gourmets are not many qualified tasters. The former is much rarer than the latter in the culinary world, because gourmets can only judge the quality of the taste, but only know why it is delicious , without knowing how to make it more delicious, a famous gourmet is equivalent to a living advertising space.

Yuanyue College invites many well-known gourmets as judges for every major competition, and the certified teachers of the three major cooking evaluation agencies are also gourmets.

In addition to a keen sense of taste and appreciation of cooking, a taster also needs to have at least a deep understanding of cooking theory...

Usually tasters, like cooks, have cuisines they are good at tasting. It is very rare for a taster like Liu Maoxing to be a full-time taster!

Gourmets are different. They need to dilute the subjective taste trend when tasting food, treat all cuisines equally, and be able to taste whether each cuisine is delicious or not. foodie.

As for tasters who specialize in the first department, because they have the advantages of taste discrimination and food appreciation ability, even if they don't have a deep study of other cuisines, they can usually do it just by tasting.

If the cook is a general, then the appraiser is a counselor, and his advice is top-notch, but most of them will be dumbfounded if he is asked to command a battle.

Of course, there are also some connoisseurs who can work part-time as cooks, like Zhuge Liang, Marquis of Wu, who can advise and command the armed forces...

However, Erina should also be a taster of the whole department, but the taste is slightly inferior to mine... Liu Maoxing guessed in his heart.

After all, God's Tongue has a unique advantage in this aspect, without any additional enhancement of taste, it is already stronger than the strongest taster in terms of taste recognition!

At the same time, Erina does not specialize in any cuisines now, so she can also be regarded as a whole department taster.

Although tasters have a high status in the culinary world, Liu Maoxing does not plan to be a full-time taster!

Now that he already knew the existence of legendary kitchen utensils, Liu Maoxing naturally coveted their legendary ability of immortality. Can't use it, but there is hope after all...

And the higher your cooking skills, the greater your hope!

Although Liu Maoxing, as a connoisseur, will continue to improve his culinary skills because of the existence of the system, but after the tiger level, cooking skills have already been transformed from culinary skills, food sense, or food control, as well as culinary skills. Heart, composed of three.

Even if the first two reach their peak, they can only reach the level of a three-star chef like Kojiro Shinomiya, that is, they can cook dishes at the peak of the tiger level.

If you want to go further, cooking heart is indispensable. Like the chef of a high-end VIP western restaurant, there are several who have mastered the cooking heart. Let them cook tiger-level dishes when their culinary skills, food control and Liu Maoxing are not too different!

And the cooking heart can only be relied on by Liu Maoxing himself, and even the food defense cannot be strengthened by the system, so Liu Maoxing must study it by himself...

So Liu Maoxing did not forget his original intention, he had already notified the people at the high-end VIP western restaurant that he would go there for the last time this week in the evening.

This surprised and disappointed the chefs of the high-end VIP western restaurant. They originally thought that Liu Maoxing would eat there every week!

What? Tonight is the last time? Isn't it an internship for a week...

It would be great if Chief Chef Dojima could hire him directly...

Don't be silly! How much would it cost to hire directly? If it weren't for the internship period now, it would be impossible to conduct free tastings!

But isn't there five days left? Could it be going to other high-end VIP restaurants?

How is it possible! He is only sixteen years old, so he is not only good at tasting one type of cuisine?

By the way, Chef Thomas, aren't you a student of Chef Henggou? Chef Henggou should know about Liu Maoxing's situation...

After all, master tasters like Liu Maoxing are very rare, and the more master tasters, the more specialized they should be, because their cooking skills may not be comparable to professional cooks, but their theoretical knowledge is bound to be profound! He must be a master of talking about cooking on paper.

They never thought before that Liu Maoxing would go to two other high-end VIP restaurants...

It wasn't until they asked Chef Henggou that Liu Maoxing had been declaring that he was best at Chinese cuisine!

While Thomas and other chefs were shocked, they also began to prepare. The last tasting event in the evening will be attended by twelve chefs from the high-end VIP restaurant...

After all, it was the last chance, and all the chefs didn't want to miss it. After that, only thirty or so first-class chefs could serve two dishes each, and the others would have no chance.

After all, they have also figured out that although Liu Maoxing's appetite is different from ordinary people, tasting about 300 dishes at a time is already the limit!

Not to mention the high-level VIP western restaurant, when Liu Maoxing returned to the kitchen after dividing up the final tasting quota, he found that Guihezi had also returned.

Sure enough, in normal times, although Takawako is not like her younger sister, Miwako, who always pretends to be charming, but she also puts on light makeup, and is not as sloppy as when she first met...

But now Guihezi was frowning in the kitchen, as if he was having a headache, Liu Maoxing thought at first that she was angry about Meihezi staying in her room last night, so he couldn't help feeling guilty.

After all, it was because he left the room card in the kitchen that Miwako had the chance to pick it up...

Who knew that when Guihezi saw Liu Maoxing, he didn't mention this matter, but said seriously: Ah Xing, did you offend someone?

Huh? This... is a bit much! Liu Maoxing didn't know what Guihezi meant.

Guihezi explained: Because you are here now, I wanted to check out at 1201, but I found that someone was staring at me at the front desk... Just before checking out, I checked the check-in situation on the 12th floor. It turns out that the forty rooms are all full now!

What? All the occupants are full? Is it... a company or a school trip? Liu Maoxing also felt strange. It's not the season for travel, so how could there be so many guests all of a sudden?

No, they are all registered in the name of individuals, and I found that more than ten of the original guests checked out in these two days, and other people checked in immediately after that... I suspect that those who stared at me also wanted to Immediately move into room 1201, so I simply paid for another five days! Guihezi felt that there was a conspiracy.

Otherwise, why are you all staring at the rooms on the 12th floor?

And if he came here to cause trouble, then the most likely target of the other party's revenge is Liu Maoxing who just came here!

Liu Maoxing also realized at this time, why did he have a bad feeling before!

If these people really came here for themselves...

Then don't think about it, I'm sure there will be a sudden focus on eating in the future!

However, the 121 kitchen does not have the ability to order food for guests in 20 rooms at the same time. When scheduling the manpower, it did not take this situation into consideration at all...

In particular, the other party might attack suddenly. If Liu Maoxing had to arrange people to work overtime during the day, they would be left idle for a day, and the pre-processed ingredients could only be discarded when they expired.

Even if the two kitchens 121 and 122 are added together, it won't work, not to mention that the other party has come prepared and booked all the rooms on the 12th floor, and the kitchen 122 will probably be affected by then.

If Guihezi is just suspicious, then Liu Maoxing has already confirmed it in his heart!

And guessed that it should be the work of Nakiriji's forces...
