Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Actually, before the ancestors left, they also warned future generations that the 'source' of ingredients is hard to come by, so don't be too persistent...

After all, in history, there is only one cook who can stimulate the 'source' of any ingredients at will! Even the ancestors of the Lan family, who are as famous as his old man, are known for their strong cooking skills, rather than using the 'source' of ingredients! Liu Maoyuan said with a MAX-level sense of superiority.

Although it is about her ancestors, she is also honored!

What? 'Arbitrarily' triggering the source of 'any' ingredients? Liu Maoxing wondered.

That's right.

Are you sure...I mean, could it be that you worship your ancestors too much...

Liu Maoyuan guessed what Liu Maoxing wanted to say, and interrupted directly: This is the record found in the ancestor's diary! Do you think the ancestor would boast about himself in his own diary?

Liu Maoxing thought about it, and felt that this culinary master with the same name as himself more than a hundred years ago should not be so superficial.

Sorry, I just can't believe it...

Seeing that he apologized, Liu Maoyuan softened his tone: That's right, it's really unbelievable, I even doubted it for a while, until... Forget it, do you know the essence of 'Yuan'?

The nature of 'source'?

Um, there may be a problem with my statement. It should be said that the essence of 'Must Kill Cuisine' is 'Source', and 'Source Cuisine' is the final form of 'Must Kill Cuisine'. Liu Maoyuan said.

What do you mean? Why is it related to the killer dish? Liu Maoxing said that this span is a bit big.

Well, how should I put it... Actually, I don't know it very well, after all, the Liu family doesn't really study this direction...

Liu Maoxing really wanted to say, So you still have a research direction, but in the end rationality rarely overcame sensibility, and swallowed the words that came to his lips, otherwise the other party might drop the phone...

Only part of the ancestor's notes is open to me, but I heard from Liu Kuishan clan elder...you should know him, that is the one who certified you before, he said that the essence of 'must-kill cuisine' is through the analysis of ingredients. A deeper understanding of the Yuan has a weak effect, but it is far from stimulating the Yuan. I saw it in the notes. Liu Maoyuan said.

The understanding of the ingredients... Wait! Isn't it right? Isn't the premise of the must-kill cuisine only original recipes? If you want to attract the 'source', you should learn those existing and perfect recipes to be better. convenient?

At the beginning, Liu Maoxing used the recipe of Sishen Seafood and Eight Treasures Soul-Suppressing Steamed Buns to inspire the source in Shuhan Old Noodles, and this is certainly not an exception, because the Luo family's recipes have been handed down for nearly two thousand years. Some innovations, but the extent of improvement is definitely not original.

Because the use of non-original recipes, more or less, will be limited by the 'knowledge barrier', that is, after preconceived thinking that you 'understand' a certain ingredient, the subjective cognition of the ingredient will become dull... But original recipe is not absolute, and there is no exact limit to how much to improve, which cannot be quantified.

To be precise, by learning from the recipes of the predecessors, you can understand the ingredients objectively. Self-innovation can understand the ingredients subjectively. If you understand too much objectively, it will affect the intake of subjective knowledge, but it will progress completely behind closed doors. Slow, it's also a matter of balance. Liu Maoyuan said.

Liu Maoxing didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to find that the Liu family's cognition of cooking was not as backward as imagined, and was even advanced in some aspects...

Okay, for the specific content of this aspect, when you come to Liu's house as a guest, you can ask the clan elders you know. I still say the same thing...don't spend too much energy on 'source cuisine', ordinary cooks... ...Even a star chef may not be able to cook Yuan Cuisine once in his life. Liu Maoyuan said.

Liu Maoxing could tell that she was still a little sleepy, so she didn't bother her anymore...

After the two said good night to each other and hung up the phone, Liu Maoyuan couldn't wait to go back to sleep, while Liu Maoxing, who was an hour behind her time zone, felt that it was still early, and went to Marui's room to attend the party again !

So the daily gathering of Jixing Liao and close people to celebrate everyone passing the first test collectively began the second half... The second half was themed on celebrating Liu Maoxing's success in humiliating the Central Gourmet Organization!

And whether it was Liu Maoyuan, who was about to fall asleep in a daze, or Liu Maoxing, who was in the party, when they hung up the phone, they felt that something was wrong...

After a while, whether it was Liu Maoyuan, who was about to fall asleep again, or Liu Maoxing, who was having a party, a question emerged in his heart...

What Liu Maoxing thought was, if source cuisine is the final form of must-kill cuisine, wouldn't that Liu Maoxing who has been around for more than a hundred years be able to freely use any ingredients to make the ultimate must-have dish? Killed the food?

Thinking back to the ability of that Liu Maoxing, he would often use ingredients that he didn't know before and that were considered imported at that time... Could it be that he could understand the ingredients to the extreme in a short time?

This ability is obviously beyond Liu Maoxing's comprehension.

And Liu Maoyuan suddenly thought that Liu Maoxing said before that he thought of maybe all ingredients can be inspired from Shu Han old noodles and giant eel, two ingredients that are very easy to stimulate source. source……

But is it really so easy to associate them together?

Ordinary people would think of a real truth just because of some characteristics of Shuhan old noodles and giant eels?

This brain hole does not seem to be very scientific...

Either Liu Maoxing has a Newton-like brain circuit in this regard, and when he is hit by an apple, he can imagine universal gravitation and gain a kind of heart that can make fruit salad produce a heavy taste.

Or get something like guidance of fate...

When Liu Maoyuan thought of this, he couldn't help thinking of the thoughts of some minorities in the family, as well as some intentions and attitudes of Master Xie... But this kind of statement seems even more unscientific!

In order to avoid insomnia as much as possible for herself, Liu Maoyuan stopped thinking about these things for the time being. Anyway, counting the time, Liu Maoxing will soon come to visit in person.

However, I suddenly remembered that there is another legend about Yuan Cuisine, which I forgot to tell Liu Maoxing.

Forget it, let's talk about it when he comes... and it's not something important. Liu Maoyuan whispered a word at last, then turned over and continued to sleep.

What she wants to say is that the only recorded chef who can use any ingredients for source cuisine is indeed only her ancestor Liu Maoxing, but in the ancestor's notes, it can be found that there was another ancestor who would Original Cuisine reversed and created a strong enemy of Niyuan Cuisine, that is, the boss of the dark cuisine world at that time, Kaiyu Iriyunlong.

It is said that Kaiyou's reverse source cooking can forcibly stimulate source with cooking methods that can never stimulate source under normal circumstances, so as to achieve the purpose of making cooking destructive!

Liu Maoyuan couldn't understand the meaning of this explanation, but if she told Liu Maoxing, Liu Maoxing would probably understand the meaning...

Usually, only the most suitable cooking method can be used to stimulate the source, but Kaiyou's Eight Demon-Breaking Arrays uses the worst combination, which may even produce toxins, to cook conflicting ingredients together!

It is known that there are two forms, one is not only super unpalatable, but also causes great pain to diners after eating it. In the Chinese era, Kaiyou used this form of eight demon-breaking formations to punish and handle affairs Unfavorable subordinate, Yizhang Qing Xiangen was once punished by mutton and scallion soup...

Green onion leaves are mild and can be used to dissipate heat... Mutton is very hot, and it can confuse people with wine and food...

Although this form of eight magic-breaking formations is violent, most of it will not cause death or disability, it is only a means of punishment.

And another kind of Bad Demon Eight Arrays is to make diners feel the conquering delicacy when tasting the dishes, but it will subtly accumulate toxins in the human body, and long-term consumption may even be controlled by Kaiyou!

Kaiyou's Eight Forms of Breaking Demons is also based on the understanding of ingredients, but uses the opposite method to stimulate the source of ingredients...

Although it is different from the contemporary Liu Maoxing in stimulating Yuan, and it is not just any ingredients, Kaiyu can easily master it, but he was indeed another cook who was good at Yuan Cuisine at that time!

In addition, there are records, or what the Liu family learned from other sources, whether it is the cooks in history, or the cooks they have witnessed for more than a hundred years, they are all cooking heart genre...

Even in modern times, even the Liu family has given up researching Yuan Cuisine, which symbolizes the glorious deeds of their ancestors. Naturally, no one cares about this.

However, as the primary application of Yuan Cuisine, Must-kill Cuisine is very popular, but the real Yuan Cuisine is too energy-intensive, and no one cares about it except for a certain turtle fairy who is sitting on Shu Han Old Noodles. .

There are also elders in the Liu family who can cook with ordinary ingredients, but only one or two dishes.

It's all because of old age, the ultimate killer dish that was hard piled up with time...

However, Liu Maoxing did not lose interest in Yuan Cuisine because of Liu Maoyuan's persuasion, but he became more looking forward to it, until after the party, when he went back to his room to sleep, he was still thinking about it in a daze.

After a long absence, after my culinary skills have broken through to a high level and possessed internal strength, I have dreamed again.

I dreamed that I used all kinds of ingredients I had seen and never seen before, and I was doing source cooking...

the next day……

A Xing! Hurry up, we are the only ones who are late in the end, so it's a bit unreasonable! Can't you sleep on the train! Erina urged.

That's right, Liu Maoxing woke up late last night because of a dream...

Because Liu Maoxing hadn’t made this kind of mistake for a long time after he gained internal power, and other students who were familiar with Liu Maoxing thought he was one of the top ten in charge of organizing the assessment, so he set off first, but he didn’t expect that this guy was still in the room sleep!

In the end, it was Erina who found out that something was wrong and asked Fei Shazi and Yu Mei to organize the students first at the gathering place at the station, while she went back to the hotel and dragged Liu Maoxing up...

Because I spent too long on the phone with Liu Maoyuan yesterday, Liu Maoxing's phone ran out of battery, and he forgot to charge it before going to bed!

It just snowed last night, and I'm afraid I can't go fast by car now, and the hotel is not far from the station, so the two are running.

Under Erina's urging voice, Liu Maoxing's eyes suddenly lit up...

Ah! What are you doing! Erina was dazed before she was hugged by Liu Maoxing.

It's better to go faster...

I saw Liu Maoxing still galloping on the sidewalk with a person in his arms!

Indeed, in terms of pure physical strength, Liu Maoxing can run faster than Erina with a person in his arms.

So there was such a scene, when Fei Shazi and Yu Mei were making excuses and making up a reasonable excuse for Liu Maoxing and Erina to be late, Liu Maoxing appeared in front of everyone holding Erina, and Erina always The face of contempt for other people was clearly flushed...

Of course, Liu Maoxing didn't think it was a blush, it was so cold, and with the speed at which he was running, it was strange that his face wasn't flushed!

Is this guy really with us now?

But I still feel very uncomfortable...

Oh my god! Let a thunder accept him!

Hey, hey, look, is Miss Alice's face a little stiff?

Don't talk about it, I want to go to the 'Central Gourmet Agency' after talking about it...

It wasn't unexpected for a while, Liu Maoxing once again ignored the faction, pulling down the hatred value of almost all the male students!

Hey, you are late as the leader of the Top Ten, do you really have the self-consciousness to be the person in charge of the assessment? Lian Nantaro said from the side.

Well, that's right, the people from the central gourmet agency also gathered here, and the second destination of both parties is also the same, which is Sapporo in Hokkaido.

The college is very user-friendly this time. We didn’t let everyone go there directly by plane, or even take the Shinkansen. Instead, we took an ordinary train with a sleeper berth, so we could go to Sapporo while looking at the exquisiteness of the North Country and taking a rest.

After all, the first round of assessment was just conducted yesterday. For ordinary students, it is still very exhausting... Of course, the students who participated in the party last night cannot be regarded as ordinary students, they have practiced before!

Although they all seem to be a little out of energy now, they did it all by themselves...

And Liu Maoxing walked over with a smile on his face, and said softly: I snatched the eel.

You! The veins on Lian Nantaro's head twitched, and he continued, I'm saying you're late...

I also robbed the big eel.

you you you……

I also snatched the sleeper position.

You...wait a minute, what sleeper was snatched by you? When?

Last night, I asked the people in the planning department to rebook your tickets... By the way, you were indeed not late, but you were six hours early, hahaha, you are really on time! Liu Maoxing said with a smile.

That's right, the matter of Reiko Hiroi was reported to Senzaemon yesterday, and Engetsu Academy sent people over that night...

In addition, after the eel banquet incident, Hiroi Reiko was put into a very disadvantageous situation by Liu Maoxing. For a while, the ordinary lecturers and employees of the Hokkaido branch also felt that the balance in their hearts was tilted towards the commander-in-chief.

Therefore, although there are many fans of Nakiri thistle in the Hokkaido branch, including Hiroi Reiko, Senzaemon cannot directly replace Hiroi Reiko for a while, but many of the Hokkaido branch The functional departments have also changed the king's banner overnight...

The planning department Liu Maoxing mentioned was the planning department of the Hokkaido branch, a temporary department specially set up for this grade assessment. The tickets have been changed collectively!

Of course, it would be too petty to advance the tickets and make them miss the train, so Liu Maoxing postponed their tickets...

It seemed that it was only a six-hour delay, but because of the nature of the second assessment, even Nantaro and the others only needed to be a few hours late, and it was enough for them to stop making trouble.

Because the content of the second assessment was temporarily changed last night at Liu Maoxing's suggestion, the reason was that the Hokkaido branch was involved in fraud!

Even if the person in charge of the Hokkaido branch in Sapporo risked his own future to make trouble, it would not affect the second round of assessment, because...

And the person in charge in Sapporo obviously didn't know about it. A few hours later, when the students got off the bus in Sapporo, they wanted to pick them up to the holiday villa area in the mountains to carry out the originally planned Number 1 The second round of grade assessment.

Student Liu Maoxing, welcome to Sapporo. I will entertain everyone in the second round of assessment. My name is Endo Xun... A middle-aged man who was well-groomed from hairstyle to clothes, He greeted Liu Maoxing.

But Liu Maoxing didn't show any kindness to him because of his politeness...

Well, Endo, how many buses over there are used to pick up people from the 'Central Gourmet Organization'?

Endo didn't expect Liu Maoxing to be so straightforward, so he could only say: That's right, but these cars are all leased...Of course, the 'Central Gourmet Agency' pays all the funds.

Indeed, at this time, apart from a bus with Yuanyue's pattern parked outside, there was also a bus with no logo beside it. It was obvious that they were smart this time.

But it's useless! This time, the students of the Central Gourmet Organ are not too late...

I didn't expect them to 'accidentally' change their tickets, so these buses are waiting for them here first. Student Liu Maoxing and other first-year students want to take Yuanyue's bus to the assessment site in the mountains! Endo said.

No, we have a car to pick you up. Liu Maoxing smiled.

Endo was taken aback when he heard the words, Liu Maoxing would reject him, he had thought of it before, but he didn't understand what's the use of renting a car alone? Don't you still want to go to them? He didn't even think about doing anything in the car... The layout is waiting for the assessment!

By the way, you may not have been notified yet. The second round of assessment was changed last night. Liu Maoxing said.

W-what? Can this be changed easily? Although you are the person in charge of the assessment, the subject of the assessment is...

The commander-in-chief has already issued an order, because during the first round of assessment, it was discovered that the Hokkaido branch had corruption and fraud, and it was not suitable to undertake the assessment. Afterwards, the investigation team from the academy will also come. Liu Maoxing said.

The commander-in-chief ordered...but the general counsel...

It's enough for your general counsel to manage your own 'central food agency'. Liu Maoxing said with a smile.

Ahem, it's not, it's not 'our' general counsel.

Liu Maoxing didn't listen to his explanation, but when the students gathered, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said: Everyone, now I will announce the second round of assessment questions... ...

Endo immediately raised his ears, he never thought that Liu Maoxing's awareness of defense was so poor!

Although he can't do anything directly, but now that Liu Maoxing has announced the assessment, he can notify the Central Gourmet Organization to modify the assessment content...

That's the 'Sapporo Ramen Competition'! There will be a bus to pick you up later, and you have to go to the registration office in the city. You must go there in person, and there are still five hours before the registration deadline...but don't worry, there is still plenty of time, The standard for passing the assessment is to pass the preliminaries! Please get on the bus in an orderly manner...

Isao Endo was dumbfounded. For Yuanyue College, there is plenty of time, but for the students of the Central Gourmet Organization, the deadline for registration is before they arrive at the station!

And it is only valid if you sign up in person... In other words, they have to stagger the second round of assessment...
