Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Beluga? That's it, right? The highest-grade sturgeon that produces the highest-grade caviar!

(Beluga sounds the same as Browder)

That's right, Beluga will not become sexually mature until over sixty years old, and the amount of Beluga-grade caviar that can be obtained each year is extremely limited. The annual catch of Beluga does not exceed 100. Who would have thought that there would be one in the 'Yuanyue Academy'?

Indeed, although a Beluga over 20 years old can barely retrieve eggs, but this one... Even if it is not 100 years old, it is still 60 years old, right? It has already been able to retrieve the top roe!

Many guys in the sea have a lifespan not inferior to the turtle which is regarded as a symbol of longevity...

For example, the lifespan of Beluga is more than a hundred years. The lifespan of whales is generally several decades. The longest-lived whale is more than 200 years old. Whale anchors, the average lifespan of specific whales is still unknown, not to mention the lighthouse jellyfish that can live forever by transforming themselves from the mature stage back to the larval stage.

Wait! You don't even want to use Beluga for him, do you? Even the 'Ten Heroes' are too extravagant, right?

Sure enough, it's not just the 'Ten Outstanding', but also the grandson-in-law? Otherwise, even if the college provides the ingredients, there is no reason to accept such a request...

Indeed... Even if you want to use 60-year-old Beluga caviar, you can just give him the finished product. It doesn't make sense to give him the whole Beluga, right?

No, the finished caviar is forbidden to be used in the cooking duel. If you want to use it, you must make it yourself on the spot, otherwise it will be unfair to other contestants...

Just because of this?

Look! There are already staff around, ready to die at any time...

Ah! I saw that person in a magazine. He is Master Futoriak from the country of Ross who can instantly distinguish the state of caviar and make caviar...

The difficulty of making caviar has already been explained when Kurokiba used caviar before.

But now even Heikiba was stunned when he saw this thing. Although both are sturgeon, the difference between the two is like the difference between the rhinestones on the clothes of Taobao explosion and the heart of the ocean. !

Hey, hey, you guys are playing too much, right? If you take it off, it will be bad...

Many people became worried for Liu Maoxing.

Of course, more people were already full of complaints, as if they were blaming Yuanyue and Liu Maoxing for his recklessness. Some excited guests even pulled out banners to protest immediately.

They are not targeting the fairness of the cooking duel, but targeting this prodigal behavior!

Even Master Futoriak, who was invited by Yuanyue and was on standby, now has a dark expression, as if dissatisfied with the scene in front of him.

There were also some students who didn't understand, and couldn't help wondering: Why do you all have such expressions? Even if the college is extravagant this time, it won't be...

A bit extravagant? You really don't know what that Beluga means! The student next to him immediately reminded him excitedly.

Huh? Beluga-grade caviar, although one kilogram of finished caviar has to be negotiated in millions of island currency, but...it's nothing to the academy, right?

One kilogram? Haha, you are right... But you must know that the fish eggs of an adult Beluga can weigh up to 20% of their body weight! This Beluga weighs at least a few hundred kilograms, and it is not right to produce a hundred kilograms of fish eggs. Impossible! That is to say, this knife will reach the level of '100 million'!

The roe of caviar actually refers to fish eggs, not fertilized eggs. The reserve of adult sturgeon and fish eggs is quite amazing.

What? Are you sure you read it right...

Moreover, there is now a technique of taking eggs from a live body after anesthesia, suturing the wound, injecting antibiotics, and giving the sturgeon a restorative environment. Although the survival rate is not 100%, it is much better than such a hasty knife on the field! Another A student was also unhappy.

Just for Liu Maoxing to be able to use caviar in the arena, he sacrificed a Beluga over 60 years old who maybe can retrieve eggs many times in the future.

Even if it's not something from your own home, I believe any cook will feel distressed when they see it!

Actually, for a Beluga of this level, you should consider asking those two masters to do it when you retrieve the eggs... Rising Yue from the judging panel also said the same.

The 'those two' masters? Yuan Guo was puzzled.

In fact, Yuanguo is not the type to ask boldly when he doesn't understand, but seeing that everyone doesn't seem to believe in Liu Maoxing, Yuanguo feels a little unhappy, and immediately asks back.

After all, once a woman has a good impression of a man, sensibility will push rationality to the ground at any time, just like if Yuanguo thinks calmly, I'm afraid Liu Maoxing will not think that it is no problem to deal with this 60-year-old Beluga ...

Ah! Hori Yue is talking about the two masters of the Dragon Chef Alliance, right? They claim to be able to use knife skills faster than cell memory to cut open animal ingredients, and after taking away the inner part you want, make the wound perfect Healing national treasure sword master! Xiang Tian said.

Yuan Guo couldn't help showing suspicion when he heard the words: I seem to have heard of it...but does that technology really exist?

It exists! I saw the 'Quick Healing Knife' at a cooking demonstration by Master Lin Yi. It is a fascinating knife skill! Dojima Gin said.

Even Mr. Dojima said so, Yuan Guo naturally no longer questioned it, but she was puzzled by another thing...

Then why not hand over all the sturgeons to them? Yuan Guo asked cutely.

Jueyue glanced at Yuanguo strangely, and then explained regretfully: All the sturgeons? Not to mention how many caviars of sturgeons are taken in a year in the whole world, and there are many ingredients that can be used repeatedly. No less than Sturgeon, and there are only two sword masters with this kind of skill in the world, Lei Yu and Lin Yi from the Dragon Chef Alliance...

There seems to be another person who can do it in the legend, but there is no definite evidence, and according to the rumors, that person should be very old, and his skills may have regressed. After all, people are old and their body functions are always It will go backwards, said Oizumi Kakinosuke, the oldest judge.

Moreover, the bigger, deeper, and longer the incision is, the more demanding the knife skill is, and the more energy it needs to consume. For such a big Beluga, I'm afraid that after one cut, even those two Master, you have to rest for a long time before you can swing a sword of the same level. Dojima Gin said.

That's right, so their asking price is the same, that is, no matter what ingredients are used, they must pay 10% of the ingredients! Hori Yue said.

10%? Wait, if the current Beluga can take out the roe counted as 'billion' yuan, then 10%...isn't it also tens of millions? Yuan Guo said in shock.

That's true, and if the ingredients are too 'cheap', they won't do it. Dojima Gin said.

Not only on the judges' table, but also in the audience off the court, there are also some knife skills that lead the topic to ten million island currency level.

At the same time, under Liu Maoxing's signal, the staff had also used the device in the huge aquarium to stun the big sturgeon inside.

Afterwards, using a small jack, the two-meter-long sturgeon was placed on a special table, and Liu Maoxing was also holding the largest kitchen knife that looked as if it was about to be undone at any time, and stood there. Before Beluga...

And up to this moment, the caviar master Fortoriak, who was specially invited from Ross, still couldn't help but said to Liu Maoxing (using a translator): Young people, self-confidence is a good thing, but sometimes you know yourself. The limit is the real brave.

Apparently, Fotoliak hoped that Liu Maoxing would give up, and then use the most conservative method to carry out surgical egg retrieval.

What Fortoliak said was actually very euphemistic. In the eyes of most people, it is simply a kind of brain to sacrifice a Beluga over 60 years old in order to use Beluga caviar in Cooking Showdown Poor behavior!

Although there is a possibility of failure in surgical egg retrieval, it is better than ten deaths and no life.

Moreover, from a professional point of view, Fotoliak, although he is around and other staff who are preparing to rescue, Liu Maoxing's knife will not only reduce the survival rate of this Beluga to negligible, but even Even the quality of this batch of caviar may be affected!

However, Liu Maoxing did not accept Futoryak's opinion, but smiled and said: No, I still think that my knife will not waste any ingredients.

Hmph! Fortoriak snorted dissatisfiedly, then stared at him firmly, but didn't say anything more.

After all, this Beluga belongs to the Yuanyue Group, and the procedures are complete. He is willing to prodigal, and he has no position to forcefully stop it...

In fact, at this time, Senzaemon also looked at Liu Maoxing with a little anxiety.

Although Senzaemon had seen some clues of Liu Maoxing's sword skills from the previous cooking.

But the difficulty this time is definitely not comparable to cutting a wound that is several centimeters long and less than one centimeter deep.

Even if he knew Liu Maoxing's character, since he opened his mouth, he was sure in all likelihood, but Senzaemon was still a little nervous!

Senzaemon doesn't care too much about the real loss of money, but you must know that if Liu Maoxing fails, it will cause huge damage to Yuan Yue and Liu Maoxing personally in terms of reputation!

Now there are quite a few people in the field, recording something with their mobile phones, probably preparing to post the video of ignorant students destroying human rare food resources, Yuanyue College is rich and willful on the Internet.

Of course, if Liu Maoxing really succeeds...

Liu Maoxing will become the fourth existence among human beings with ten million level sword skills. If you don't count Xie Yunlong, who has been seeing the dragons all year round, he will be the third!

At that time, both Liu Maoxing himself and Yuanyue College will become famous.

I saw Liu Maoxing pulling out Zhanyue...ah, no, it's a kitchen knife...

Afterwards, he held the kitchen knife flat in front of his face, took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Seeing this pretentious appearance, more people sneered.

Liu Maoxing erected the kitchen knife again, brushing the blade with his left hand.

This time, Futoryak, who was nearby, looked at Liu Maoxing with a little less hostility, because he saw that Liu Maoxing's left hand was actually using the index finger and middle finger, and the front was perpendicular to the blade. ...

The reason why the fingers were not scratched was because there was always a distance of several millimeters between the fingers and the blade!

Flicking such a long blade, but the distance seemed to Futoriak's naked eyes to have no change at all, neither a slight increase nor a slight decrease.

You must know that this is not an evaluation with the naked eye of ordinary people. As a master of caviar making, the ability to observe instantly is one of the most important abilities. Therefore, Futoriak also understands that this kind of stability beyond his visual recognition ability, what does it mean...

And Liu Maoxing still kept his eyes closed at this time!

The master of sword skills, Futoriak, has seen many, but he has never seen more than one hand with such a steady hand.

This made Fortoriac's impression of Liu Maoxing slightly changed, from a prodigal son who overestimated his abilities to an arrogant but capable young man...

It seems that at least this round of caviar won't be wasted. Futoriak muttered to himself.

Liu Maoxing wasn't putting on a show either. To use Seven Stars Breaking the Army and Quickly Cut to take out such a large Beluga fish egg was not as difficult as what he had done before, and he didn't have any experience, let alone the opportunity to experiment. !

Liu Maoxing did not dare to try until the basic cooking skills reached the super four-star level and awakened the super hearing.

Even in the Zhonghua Yiyi period, there were no more than two people who could do it, and the Zhonghua Yiyi period coincided with the beginning of the Great Fusion of World Cuisines. The overall level of Chinese cuisine began to improve, and at the same time the basic skills When the aspect has not been greatly impacted, it belongs to the peak period of the development of basic skills!

Whether it is the overall level of the world's culinary world or the level of Chinese cuisine, there is no doubt that it is higher than it was more than a hundred years ago, but at the same time, the level of basic skills is decreasing...

The closer to the sequence of top chefs, the more obvious the performance is. It can be said that chefs who can also cook special-level and tiger-level dishes are far behind in basic skills compared with more than a hundred years ago!

Up to now, even in the Chinese cuisine, which is relatively speaking, which attaches great importance to basic skills, there are only three who can wield the Sword of Quick Healing. No one in other cuisines is known to be able to stably display such knife skills.

To take out the eggs of such a large sturgeon with the Quick Healing Knife level of knife skills, it is necessary to use the Seven Stars Breaking the Army Quick Cut stunt to the extreme!

And to achieve this level, you must first have the sword skill essence, to ensure that you can be inspired when you drop the knife, and the basic skills of your own knife skills have also reached the peak...

In fact, Liu Maoxing's knife skills at the same level as the super four-star are still a little lacking. Although the overall cooking skills of Ren and Xiang En back then were not as good as Liu Maoxing's now, they have reached the peak in terms of knife skills alone. !

However, Liu Maoxing also has his own advantages, that is, the super-tactile sense can help him accurately judge the physiological structure of the sturgeon, and the super-hearing can allow him to hear the sound of caviar.

Because the roe to be taken out is unfertilized fish roe itself, and does not have life as a living thing, so now you can hear the sound of them existing as food, which can play the role of inside and outside, making the roe To guide oneself to move the knife.

After flicking the blade, Liu Maoxing touched Sturgeon's body again. After confirming the position finally, he drew the knife back into a scabbard around his waist...

Feel the call of the ingredients...follow the inspiration in your heart...close to the ultimate knife skills...

Seven Stars Break the Army... cut it open quickly! Liu Maoxing's eyes flashed.

Even Futoryak didn't see clearly how Liu Maoxing swung the knife, but only deduced from the change in Liu Maoxing's movement of holding the knife that he swung the knife.

Moreover, there was indeed an incision in Beluga's ovary. Liu Maoxing also pressed on the specific position, and saw bright black fish eggs glistening and flickering out of the incision...

At this moment, Fotoliak also immediately made preparations, urging Liu Maoxing to quickly take the part he needed, so that he could carry out his own process as soon as possible. After the fish eggs leave Beluga's ovary, they must be within a few minutes. Just complete the identification and salting to ensure freshness!

Okay, it's indeed better than I imagined... Fortoriak watched Liu Maoxing's precise pressing movements, and couldn't help but whispered.

However, just after Liu Maoxing pressed out about 10 kilograms of fish eggs, which was a full basin, his expression froze suddenly, and then he stopped.

What's wrong? Don't stop! Fortoriac said anxiously.

If it was a fair-skinned and beautiful hairy girl, Liu Maoxing wouldn't mind too much, but being yelled Don't stop by a 40-50-year-old hairy man almost made Liu Maoxing tremble and make a mistake while his hair stood on end!

I saw that Liu Maoxing ignored Fotoliak's words, stopped taking the roe, and stretched out his hand to slowly brush over the big sturgeon's wound...

Next, it is time to witness the miracle!

The camera crew, who had received orders from Senzaemon long ago, immediately pointed the camera at Liu Maoxing...

The display screen turned into a grid display, showing close-ups of Liu Maoxing and Beluga from various angles, recording the process of the wound disappearing.

This, this is...the wound...disappeared! Rei Kawashima said tremblingly.

Even Rei Kawashima, who has an excellent sense of stage and performance on the spot, has a temporary blank brain, and just follows the emcee's instincts on the spot, describing what happened with emotion...

But at this time, not many people actually cared about what she said. Everyone who understood what it meant, or simply regarded it as a miracle, was already stunned!

After all, even those who know of the existence of this kind of sword skill, most of them have never actually seen it. Besides, there are only three people who can use it in the legend, and only two people can prove it. see?

It's like seeing someone performing Kamehae Qigong in an elementary school martial arts exhibition competition...

Finally, Rei Kawashima was saved, and the records about this kind of sword skill were sent to Rei Kawashima, so that she would not be unable to explain it.

With Rei Kawashima's science popularization, students who don't know this kind of national treasure sword skill also understand what this ten million-level sword skill called Sword of Quick Healing means...

And Fotoliak was already stunned, he finally understood why Yuanyue was willing to let Liu Maoxing use a whole Beluga that was more than 60 years old on the spot!

For those who are experts in caviar making, they naturally understand the significance of this kind of knife skill. At this time, the eyes looking at Liu Maoxing seem to see a golden mountain.

A thousand bucks? Oh my god, isn't that as long as you swing a knife every day, it will make more profit than many three-star restaurants in a day!

Most three-star chefs are invited to cook a complete meal, and the price of simply hiring them will not be so high...

Is this a skill that students can master?

If I have this kind of sword skill, what are I still doing in Yuanyue?

Although the 'Ten Masters' is the representative of Yuanyue's culinary skills, but this time...the representative is a bit out of touch!

The audience off the court couldn't help discussing, whether it was other students or invited guests, they all expressed their amazement at Liu Maoxing's skills.

At this time, Liu Maoxing had completely healed Beluga's wound, and he didn't use a jack, but relied entirely on his body strength to lift Beluga, which was estimated to weigh four to five hundred kilograms, over his head, and then used his knees and elbows to lift it up. Flick and throw Beluga back into the giant aquarium!

Beluga was still a little sluggish after entering the water, but after a while, he gradually regained consciousness, and started to swim in the aquarium that was not spacious for it...

The reason why Liu Maoxing only took one-tenth of the fish eggs was because he heard the sound of the wound, and the cells at the incision that were not awakened seemed to react, and Beluga also had to start from the wound. I woke up from a faint, so I had to throw it back in advance, anyway, ten kilograms of caviar is enough!

But Beluga probably only remembered being stunned, and hadn't discovered that about one-tenth of his fish eggs had been taken away.

Compared to the National Treasure Level sword skills, this kind of strength is nothing, and Liu Maoxing naturally did not hide it, anyway, his strength is not a day or two.

The reason why Liu Maoxing chose to show such a rare skill in the Between the Moon and the Sky competition is not only because of the need for cooking, but also because of other considerations...

Even when he used the Quick Healing Knife the size of the Eagle Hand before, Liu Maoxing tried his best not to be discovered.

The reason why this show is so upright is because Liu Maoxing already knows that the Knife of Quick Healing is not unique, but there are two other known cases, so there is no risk of being regarded as a different kind After all, this is the continuation of the world of Zhonghuayiyi...

On the other hand, it is to cooperate with Senzaemon to beat the drums for the Central Gourmet Academy Branch School of the Totsuki Group to destroy the island country.

I believe that this scene will spread throughout the culinary world of the island country within half an hour, and then spread to the culinary world of the world. Both Liu Maoxing himself and Yuan Yue will get a great reputation bonus...

At this time, Liu Maoxing picked out some of the ten kilograms of black caviar he wanted to use, and handed over the rest to Futoriak. As for the other rescuers, it seemed that Beluga was not injured at all. It's time to play.
