Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Liu Maoxing discovered a strange thing before, that is, Xiaohui did not participate in the booth of the Research Institute of Local Cuisine, but teamed up with Alice to apply for a booth in the Cloister Area?

Every time Liu Maoxing thinks of this incident, he can't help but think of an incident a few days ago, that is, on the day when the commander-in-chief suddenly announced that the School Festival was brought forward, Erina left Yu Mei and didn't know what to say...

At that time, Liu Maoxing felt that someone was watching him, and when he turned around, he found that it was Alice, but the latter turned his head and ignored him.

It's not the first time Liu Maoxing has come into contact with Sister Nakiri's weird temper, so he didn't delve into it...

But looking back now, since that day, the relationship between Yu Mei and Erina seems to have warmed up a lot. Originally, Liu Maoxing was not too strange, after all, Yu Mei admired Erina from the beginning.

But seeing Alice suddenly form a team with Tian Suohui, Liu Maoxing had to wonder, is there any relationship between the two?

Could it be that they want to buy Yu Mei and Xiao Hui? After all, the two of them and I are both in Jixingliao, especially Yu Mei, who is now joining the Chinese Cuisine Research Institute with Liu Maoxing, and spends much more time together than Erina every day...

Of course, these are not the key points now, the key point is the five certified masters representing the Dragon Chef Alliance who are going to the Flowing Water Garden!

Liu Maoxing also met a few certified teachers in the Spring Orchard. Although he didn't go to see them in person because of guilty of being a thief, he actually peeked at them from the outside.

And at that time, Erina also explained the certification process of the star restaurant to Liu Maoxing in detail.

Among the five certified masters of the Dragon Chef Alliance, Liu Kuishan, who is the leader, was called by Liu Maoxing before...

Hello Mr. Liu, hello seniors, thank you all for coming here to be certified as a star chef for me. Liu Maoxing thanked.

Well, you are Liu Maoxing? Yes, yes. Liu Kuishan said with a smile.

Obviously, he was happy because of Senzaemon's embarrassment, and Liu Maoxing always felt that Liu Kuishan paid great attention to him, so he observed his appearance very confidently.

Ahem, student Liu Maoxing! Since you have applied for the certification of a star chef, you must go all out. As for the 'School Festival', don't worry for now! Senzaemon said.

Yes. Liu Maoxing agreed.

Liu Maoxing can only say sorry to the commander-in-chief's embarrassment...

Who told him that he knew Liu Maoxing's preparations and actions before, but he never had any communication with Liu Maoxing in terms of defense?

Before the commander-in-chief seemed to be unaware that Liu Maoxing had already met him, and ignored him. Although Liu Maoxing was indeed a charge of bringing his own dry food, his attitude towards the commander-in-chief was also somewhat displeased.

Liu Maoxing also faintly felt that for some reason, the commander-in-chief was also guarding against him to a certain extent!

As for the reason, Liu Maoxing can only guess that it is because of his own name, which sounds very similar to the Liu family's Suaru generation. At the same time, thinking about it now, during the autumn trials, the special training between himself and Liu Maoyuan may not be the head coach. I know, after all, the old school building where they were specially trained was abandoned.

But if you bring your own dry food, bring your own dry food! People's cabbage has been arched, and it is not appropriate to let people manage the food...

But because of this, Liu Maoxing did not have the opportunity to talk to the commander-in-chief about his own plan, so the commander-in-chief did not have any prior preparations for Liu Kuishan's arrival.

Okay, then, let's start the review of the 'one-star chef'! After finishing any dish, we will taste it, and no one else is allowed to assist during the period! Liu Kuishan said.

Liu Maoxing also started to move immediately...

Huh? Alice asked in surprise.

At the same time, Ryo Kurokiba's eyes changed slightly. Obviously, they seem to have seen Liu Maoxing's cooking process before...

Now Liu Maoxing is applying for personal certification, which is much less difficult than restaurant certification. It only tests the personal cooking ability of the cook, but the standards of the certified teachers are the same...

This time, the team of certifiers who conducted the personal star rating for Liu Maoxing is also composed of five gourmets, but the grades have changed!

In addition to Liu Kuishan who is the leader, who is a three-star certifier, there are also two two-star certifiers and two one-star certifiers. This is already the team of certifiers required for two-star chef or two-star restaurant certification!

That's right, when I first entrusted Xiangtian to help me apply for star chef certification in the Michelin Food Federation, I just applied for a one-star chef step by step. After all, Liu Maoxing and Xiangtian have only met a few times, and Xiangtian doesn't have much influence on the Michelin Food Federation...

But later, when he begged Liu Maoyuan to help him submit an application in the Dragon Chef Alliance, Liu Maoxing knew that the Liu family had a certain influence in the Dragon Chef Alliance!

Naturally, Liu Maoxing also had other thoughts on his mind. If there was only one one-star chef and Ruishan had the power to fight back, and even had the confidence to gain the upper hand, Liu Maoxing simply proposed to be evaluated as a two-star chef.

This is actually not in compliance with the rules, because only a one-star chef is eligible to apply for the evaluation of a two-star chef, and the Dragon Chef Alliance will only give him some convenience within the rules, otherwise...the Liu family's face is useless !

Therefore, the people who come now are headed by Liu Kuishan, which is enough to be rated as a two-star chef, but they will still give Liu Maoxing a one-star chef rating first.

If you don't pass, naturally everything will be closed, but if you pass, Liu Kuishan and others will continue to conduct the two-star chef certification assessment!

This is also a bomb that Liu Maoxing kept secret before and did not make any noise.

The certification of One Star Chef is enough to attract popularity...

When Liu Maoxing was rushing to make four kinds of dough and cooking eight sets of casserole dishes, he secretly thought about it.

These people may have seen a lot of one-star chefs, but have you watched the certification of one-star chefs?

Oh, some people may have seen even more explosive ones, such as Dojima Gin's three-star chef certification at the graduation ceremony, and passed it!

But Liu Maoxing feels that this is already very attractive now, and he can definitely announce the two-star chef certification in public after passing the one-star chef certification, which is even more shocking.

As for the one-star certification itself, there is no challenge for Liu Maoxing...

As long as Liu Maoxing cooks any tiger-level dish, he can be awarded the title of One-Star Chef. There is no need to consider anything else. It is much simpler than the certification of One-Star Restaurant.

But the two-star chef certification is completely different. Even compared with the two-star restaurant certification, there are differences in how difficult it is to practice.

First of all, the requirements for the signature dishes of a two-star restaurant are naturally higher than those of a one-star restaurant. When a two-star chef is certified, he must also produce dishes that exceed the quality of a one-star chef...

In other words, it needs cooking that can stand firm in the Tiger class.

At the same time, because the qualification of two-star chef is divided into cuisines, when the chef declares, he must also declare the cuisine or the classification of the dishes to the three major food organizations. Let's cook!

Of course, this topic must be within the scope of the chef's own declaration...

That is to say, the testimonial of a two-star restaurant, although the inspection of other aspects of the restaurant other than the chef's signature dishes, is enough to cause headaches, but in comparison, the signature dish to be inspected is his own. However, when the two-star chef is certified, the dishes have to be displayed on the spot according to the topic.

From Liu Maoxing's own understanding, the head chef of a two-star restaurant only needs to prepare a two-star must-kill dish as a signature dish, and the cook who applies for a two-star chef must be in the declared cuisine or In the field of cooking types, the cooking skills have reached two stars!

Therefore, there are much fewer two-star chefs than one-star chefs. The difference between the two is not one level, but at least two!

There is another way, that is, if you pass the two-star restaurant certification, the head chef who is facing the assessment will also be awarded the honor of two-star chef. People are worse.

Most of the two-star chefs who are much smaller than the one-star chefs are honorary two-star chefs.

In the history of Yuanyue Academy, the number of students who can obtain the two-star chef qualification before graduation can be counted on one hand. As for the three-star chef... only Dojima Gin is the only one, so he is called living legend .

And Liu Maoxing's current cooking skills are actually slightly higher than one star, but if he doesn't use the cooking heart in the mirror, it is lower than two stars...

Because Liu Maoxing does not have must-kill dishes, as long as he is willing to put his heart into it and show all his cooking skills, he can reach the tiger level for most cuisines, which is better than ordinary one-star chefs, but only It just reached the tiger level, which is a little worse than the two-star review level.

But Liu Maoxing estimated that as long as he used the Mirror Kitchen Heart, he should be fine!

For Liu Maoxing, it was not difficult to cope with the dishes rated by the one-star chef, and it was quickly completed.

I saw requiem boats floating out of the characteristic mini canals of Flowing Water Garden...

The design of the Flowing Water Garden is also where the guests circle around the cook, and this circle of tabletops has been piled up with pure stones, and the water really swims in it, and under the action of the built-in water pump, it flows around the circular canal .

And on the Requiem Boat, there are portions of Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Zhenhun Man in four colors and eight handwritings!

That's right, it was a dish that Liu Maoxing brought out when he was in Hokkaido!

It’s just that in Hokkaido, due to limited conditions, there was no man-made canal for him to show. He just used a bamboo boat as an outer container to present the “Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Zhenhun Man” to the judges. Now there are mini canals, Liu Maoxing can naturally choose this more suitable way of appearance...

To be precise, the reason why Liu Maoxing's Flowing Water Garden was designed like this is also because Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Zhenhun Man is one of the dishes he chose to sell at the School Festival.

Now Liu Maoxing's cooking skills have improved a lot compared to when he was in Hokkaido. Even if there is no old Shuhan noodles, he can still pass the one-star assessment with the improved Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Zhenhun Man...

At the same time, Liu Maoxing also noticed that when Liu Kuishan was watching his cooking, his expression was a little strange. When he saw the Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Zhenhun Man coming along the water, his expression became even more solemn!

And Liu Kuishan's heart was agitated at this time: It's really 'Sishen Seafood Babao Zhenhun'? No wonder Master Xie came to ask about him before! But... Although our Liu family has this recipe in our collection, But it has been a long time since no one has been able to cook this dish, and seeing what Master Xi meant, he must not be his disciple, so... what's going on? Could it be... impossible!

Thinking of another possibility, Liu Kuishan secretly glanced at Senzaemon, but then immediately shook his head, denying his guess.

Liu Maoxing's one-star chef evaluation process can be said to have no ups and downs, but everyone present was very excited, as if Liu Maoxing was the only one who didn't care much...

After all, while in school, winning the honor of Star Chef was already an honor that most of the previous top ten did not get. Only then did Jie get the honor of Star Chef one after another during his school days.

At this time, students who didn't know that there was a huge split in the upper echelons of the college even thought that even if Liu Maoxing hadn't bet against Ruishan, after a few months, the current five three-year-old ten outstanding graduates, Liu Maoxing It will definitely be nominated as one of the ten outstanding...

And just as everyone gradually recovered from the feast that witnessed the birth of a genius, and was waiting for the commander-in-chief to announce the official start of the school festival and all the students to take their positions, Liu Kuishan suddenly stood up and asked Liu Maoxing : Your 'one-star chef' qualification certificate will be delivered within a week...but when you declared, you also applied for the two-star chef assessment, are you sure you want to do it together?

Before Liu Maoxing could reply, Liu Kuishan's words had already stirred up thousands of waves with one stone!

Not to mention the other onlookers, even Yu Mei, Hojo, and Misaku Subaru in the Flowing Water Garden, as well as Erina, Alice, and even Nakiri Senzaemon in the crowd, all looked at Liu Maoxing in surprise. .

And Liu Kuishan, who noticed this, was even more sure that Liu Maoxing and Nakiri Senzaemon had nothing to do with each other, they just coincidentally were in his academy!

Otherwise, how could he not know Liu Maoxing's plan? How could you go to the door to greet yourself?

Thinking of Nakiri Senzaemon's expression when he saw him, Liu Kuishan wanted to laugh...

The scene was chaotic at this time, because it was not in the food hall, there was no broadcast on the big screen, and there were too many people at the scene, which naturally caused a phenomenon where the people in front were amazed and the people behind didn't know what happened .

So Liu Maoxing didn't make a sound, but let the scene be chaotic for a while, let everyone know what happened!

Afterwards, under the eyes of all the people, he said to Liu Kuishan: That's right! I think... I'm sure that I can directly evaluate the 'two-star chef'!

You should know that the evaluation rules for two-star chefs are completely different from those for one-star chefs, right?

Know.

That's good... Actually, after the application was sent to the Dragon Chef Alliance, a highly respected senior in the alliance personally came up with a topic for you. Since you have already selected it, please ask the notary to announce the topic! Here Before, let me confirm again, you chose the 'noodles' category of 'Chinese Cuisine', right?

That's right, because most of the pastry dishes, such as steamed buns and dumplings, can be steamed, and then put in a steamer and carried on a Requiem Bamboo Boat, flowing in a mini canal, can be as big as possible. Extend the best tasting period to a certain extent.

As a dish certified by himself as a two-star chef, Liu Maoxing will definitely use it in the Flowing Water Garden to attract popularity for himself, so he naturally made preparations early!

At this time, Ruishan also heard about what happened in Flowing Water Garden, and couldn't help shrinking his pupils: What? A two-star chef? Does he really know what a two-star chef means?

Ruishan, it's not the same as what you said before? You told our three brothers before that it was the kid named Liu Maoxing, whose cooking skills are just similar to yours, right?

That's right, now he has passed the assessment of the 'one-star chef'... We won't say anything more about it, just treat it as your misjudgment!

But if you pass the 'two-star chef' assessment...hehe!

The three Ogata brothers spoke one sentence each, as if they had been tricked by Ruishan Etsuya.

Ruishan was also very dissatisfied with the attitude of the three of them. Although they were all third-year students, as the top ten, Ruishan did not regard them as seniors!

If it wasn't for the fact that when the three of them teamed up, they could display the cooking skills of the top ten, and their efficiency was even higher than that of the three top ten, Ruishan would not have looked at them at all.

But now Ruishan has something to ask for, so he said patiently: Don't worry, you three! That kid is probably just trying to impress the public! You all know how difficult the 'two-star chef' exam is... and no matter whether it comes true or not, Even if, even if I am no longer a top ten hero, will I not be able to do what I promised you?

When the three of you graduate, I will help you with the restaurant's opening, publicity, and star rating nomination. With your ability, with my help, you may be able to pass the star rating faster than Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo. Restaurant rating!

After making another promise, the three Ogata brothers didn't say anything more...

As for the matter of Nakiriji, Ruishan didn't mention it at all, because the policy of Nakiriji was worthless to elite students like the Ogata brothers. Promise of!

Oh, by the way, there are also Ten Elites like Kobayashi Gendan who simply want to mess around before graduation...

At the same time, Liu Kuishan also announced: Okay, since that's the case, then let's hire a notary!

I saw two accompanying notaries from the Dragon Chef Alliance take out the sealed file bag from the lockbox, one pressed the password, and the other took out the key...

Your exam questions were written by a respected senior in the league, and I haven't read them before. Liu Kuishan explained.

This is also the usual rule. After the three major gourmet organizations put out the questions, they are kept by multiple notaries within the organization, and the reviewers don't know the questions inside.

Afterwards, the notary public opened the question and handed it over to Liu Kuishan...

I saw that the title was two pieces of paper, and Liu Maoxing vaguely saw something written on it with a brush...

After Liu Kuishan read the question, he frowned slightly, and then turned the two pieces of paper to Liu Maoxing: This is the question given by that senior!

On the left side of the two pieces of paper is written steamed buns... This is nothing, and Liu Maoxing has also inquired about it. At this time, in the land of China, the ancient meaning of steamed buns is still used, that is, steamed buns with stuffing, steamed buns in Liu Maoxing's previous life. Bun means.

What Liu Maoxing declared was noodles in Chinese Cuisine, so the question of using steamed buns is also reasonable. Even those who love Liu Maoxing are relieved after seeing it, because Liu Maoxing's dish just now is steamed buns. Should be very good at this!

However, after seeing what was written on another piece of paper, the students who loved Liu Maoxing all frowned, while many who didn't like him snickered...

I saw only one word on this piece of paper, and that was explosion!

Fried... steamed buns? Liu Maoxing's expression became strange.
