Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Don't worry, after I win Mr. Seiichiro, I will come to you for the sixth capture!

In a daze, Liu Maoxing remembered what he had said before the competition started...

At that time, Alice complained about him: Why does it feel like standing on the Flag?

Flag... Liu Maoxing smiled wryly.

Have you given up? The light and shadow in Liu Maoxing's heart shrank into a ball, and the voice came directly from his heart.

Can you feel the stakes of this 'Dark Cuisine Showdown'? Will I...will die? Liu Mao asked calmly.

If you lose, you will.

...I must be crazy. If you think about it carefully, even if there is a world war, it is unlikely that I will die, right? The island country is not safe...but I can go back to Bashu and hide, right? I can suggest Yuanyue You also moved to Bashu, right?

Yes, but you didn't do that, and you wouldn't do it if you chose again.

Looking back in time before the start of the competition, Liu Maoxing did not accept Erina's opinion, and chose to continue the Dark Cuisine Showdown, completely obliterating the last curse that may trigger a world war...

After all, Liu Maoxing's life before time travel was terminated by the by-product of the war.

So even knowing that there is a risk, Liu Maoxing is still not reconciled, watching a new large-scale war in this world...

It's okay for everyone to use cooking to decide the outcome, isn't it?

Before the crossing, I could only be in a panic and was blown up to the sky, but this time I have the opportunity to prevent more tragedies... Maybe people have the instinct to be a hero in addition to gossip - Liu Maoxing thought so at the time of.

But it didn't go well!

Before the start of the team competition, the master of ceremonies announced the Dragon Chef Alliance Team and Germinate Team, and they have agreed on their own to complete the team competition in the form of 1vs1.

There is no objection to this...

Because even if it is opposed, people want to 1vs1, and there will be no difference in the situation after a few more people come on stage to watch the fun!

And the audience naturally regarded this as an expression of the Dragon Chef Alliance following the example of the Brahman Tasting Association to encourage and support newcomers.

After all, in terms of overall strength, the Dragon Chef Alliance is dominant, and the Germinate Team is not very good at team competitions. Choosing 1vs1 at this time is obviously beneficial to the Germinate Team, and it can even be said to give Team Germinate Chance to Win!

As soon as the 1vs1 team match started, Liu Maoxing was taken aback. The ingredients this time...was a little short?

Although it is a 1vs1 agreement, the rules and arrangements of the team game still apply, except that only one person from both sides will play, and the previous game between the Seed Team and the Brahman Tasting Association Team is the same.

The rule is still to use the ingredients prepared by the competition party, complete an unlimited number of dishes within two hours, and finally five judges will decide the winner...

In other words, Biter is a one meal, not a one dish!

But after Liu Maoxing's Seiichiro came on stage, he found that the amount of ingredients prepared on the cooking table seemed a little small?

Is this really enough for 'one meal'? Uh...it seems to be enough! Liu Maoxing couldn't help muttering helplessly when something happened suddenly.

Indeed, in this team competition, the types of ingredients prepared by the competition party are not small, but the amount of each ingredient is basically at the level of leftovers!

Of course, it does not mean that these ingredients are all leftovers. For example, the prepared beef, in terms of value, is definitely a piece of top-quality rib eye steak and filet steak, which are respectively considered as beef with the largest proportion of fat and lean meat, but each piece Only a quarter the size of...

In short, every ingredient is carefully calculated, and it is regarded as top-notch in terms of quality, but it looks frugal in terms of quantity!

At first glance, Liu Maoxing even doubted, could this make a one meal?

Did the competition know that they wanted 1vs1 from the very beginning?

Or after knowing that they want 1vs1, they specially reduced the number of ingredients? You won't be so picky, will you?

But Liu Maoxing found out right away, what was the purpose of this team competition!

The ingredients are indeed insufficient. Although it is enough for the five judges to taste, according to the rules of the competition, at least a small portion of each dish is required for each person. The one bite portion for each person is obviously not feasible ...

But Liu Maoxing discovered that it wasn't a bug in the title, there was a bag of rice under the cooking table.

With the addition of these carbohydrates, it is indeed enough to make a meal that will keep five judges full!

It seems that the theme of this team competition... is the integration of scattered ingredients? Liu Maoxing realized the arrangement of the competition.

And Seiichiro has already started to do it!

I don't know if it's because Seiichiro, who has been hiding from the people and has been running a common restaurant such as a restaurant for a long time, is very good at this kind of stingy cooking, or because he can make logical judgments faster after being cursed to suppress his personal emotions ...

That's right, before the match, Seiichiro agreed without any hesitation to understand Yunlong and Lin Yi's suggestion, 1vs1 with Liu Maoxing, without even asking why, obviously he was affected by the curse, and had already lost some thinking and judgment ability.

And after the start of the competition and face-to-face with Liu Maoxing on the same stage, he entered a situation where his personal emotions were completely suppressed!

Huh? Chuangzhen's father conceived the recipe so quickly?

Indeed...these ingredients don't seem to be enough to regret a few times! You Ji and Ryoko couldn't help sighing.

Although they didn't know what Chef Long was, they had met Seiichiro before, and although they couldn't say they understood Seiichiro's cooking skills, they at least knew very high.

Of course! My dad is best at this 'stingy' cooking!

Is this really a compliment?

Chuangzhen didn't know if he was also affected by the curse, or because Seiichiro always had a fighting face when he was fighting with him, so he was used to it... He didn't notice his father's abnormality.

And Liu Maoxing first talked about the kitchen utensils and ingredients, and organized them in a convenient position, while taking the opportunity to think about the recipes.

Obviously the focus of this competition, on the one hand, is how to use scattered ingredients, and on the other hand, the theme of the cooking is set on rice!

Compared with the previous team competitions, the ingredients prepared by the competition this time can be regarded as relatively small in topic planning.

If you only consider the ingredients other than rice, you can't make any dishes that are enough for a 'one' dish except for 'stew' and the like...so the rational use of rice is also the proper meaning of the title... Liu Maoxing silently analyzed.

Well, of course a few slices of meat can't make a dish, but it's enough to make a rice bowl!

In the same way, not only rice bowls, but also the cooking method of Spanish risotto...

Other fried rice, soaked rice, lazy rice... are also directions that can be considered!

Half an hour later, Liu Maoxing was slapped in the face.

Originally thought that according to the given ingredients, it would be impossible to get out of the category of cooking combined with rice. Unexpectedly, half an hour after the start of the competition, Seiichiro manually crushed the soaked rice noodles and made rice noodles... …

Is... rice noodles? No, it should be called rice noodles... Damn, are you too nervous? I didn't think of rice noodles before! But it doesn't matter... It's not the cooking direction that uses rice noodles, it's better than the reverse with rice... I You have to calm down... Liu Maoxing muttered to himself.

Both rice noodles and rice noodles are strip-shaped ingredients made of rice, but there are still differences.

In terms of taste, rice noodles are more sticky than rice noodles. The taste of rice noodles is described as juicy and muscular, while the taste of rice noodles is described as soft and muscular...

Rice noodles do not need to be fermented, and the physalis rice noodles in rice noodles are fermented products, and most of them are ground rice, steamed rice paste with water, then cut into strips, and some are pressed into strips, and rice noodles In addition to rice as the raw material, sweet potato flour and potato flour are also added.

But Seiichiro is clearly making pure rice noodles now...

Liu Maoxing also had to admit that if he had thought of rice noodles before, he would have a wider range in the choice of the final recipe!

However, this did not make Liu Maoxing despair. Liu Maoxing, who chose the rice bowl, also chose his own menu.

The main course is red wine beef as the main course of the rice bowl. In addition, the meat sauce made of pork, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients is mixed with the rice first. An extra serving of squid and bonito soup is prepared as a seaweed side dish...

The dishes are very simple, because Liu Maoxing found that not only the ingredients, but also the types of spices and herbs are only the most basic!

It is also at this time that the level of the cook can be tested...

And Liu Maoxing almost wants to cry now!

Although he himself is a cook with solid basic skills, in this regard, compared to Seiichiro who has been involved in folk cooking for more than ten years, Liu Maoxing even feels like he is being targeted!

Wouldn't this be the topic chosen by Nakiri Ji to confess his love to Seiichiro?

Liu Maoxing has slandered like this more than once!

Of course, as a qualified chef, before the results appear, it is too early to despair at any time.

... What really made Liu Maoxing desperate was after half of the results appeared!

In the usual confrontations with Dragon Chef, both sides basically finished the work before the time limit at the same time, and then tasted each other's dishes, but this time Seiichiro... was more than half an hour faster than Liu Maoxing!

In other words, it took less than an hour and a half for the dishes to be presented, and the remaining time was completely useless to prepare some icing on the cake dishes.

I don't know if I am confident enough to deal with Liu Maoxing, or I think that the result of my cooking has reached the perfection that no need to add...

Liu Maoxing even doubted that Seiichiro would be able to deliver the dishes within ten minutes if it wasn't for some time-consuming pre-processing of the ingredients!

For example, now that the broth and rice noodles are all ready, and the other ingredients are sufficient for him, I'm afraid it's not a problem to make hundreds of servings in an hour!

Indeed, if you make customers wait too long in a fixed-dining room, it will be equivalent to a decline in popularity and a loss of customers...

Obviously, Seiichiro still maintains this habit, it doesn't look like he is in a game at all, as if he doesn't mean to be finely crafted at all.

But Liu Maoxing understands that this does not mean that Seiichiro's cooking is rough, on the contrary, Seiichiro's seemingly rough cooking style also has a delicate side!

In terms of efficiency, Seiichiro is the only opponent who makes Liu Maoxing feel at a disadvantage!

The most important thing is that after Seiichiro presented the rice noodles, he also prepared a copy for Liu Maoxing, obviously not worried about plagiarism or targeted design...

Liu Maoxing looked at the bowl in front of him, a bowl of cooked rice noodles with various processed meat slices and other toppings on it, a special casserole of soup next to it, and several kinds of soup that Seiichiro had prepared in just over an hour. Good sauce, can't help but get depressed.

Obviously, let the soup cool down, or even put the rice noodles over, which will cause its taste to decline before tasting, which is not feasible under the rules of Dark Cuisine Showdown!

This is also the advantage of finishing the cooking first, that is, it can be tasted by the other party, which can cause psychological pressure...

But usually for top cooks, unless their strength is completely crushed, the psychological pressure will not have much impact. Instead, in order to get ahead, they shorten their time limit, which means that the other party has more cooking time...

And if the strength is completely crushed, there will be no tactics!

So even if the rules allow it, usually very few people will submit dishes so early.

Now that it was submitted, Liu Maoxing could only choose to taste it...

It was also after tasting Seiichiro's dishes that Liu Maoxing felt that he can't remember his own recipes!

In other words, even Liu Maoxing's originally planned recipes now seem dull by comparison...

Ah! Chuangzhen, your father finished the cooking so quickly? Is there still enough time to make some 'decoration'? You Ji asked puzzled. The decoration she said was also a small dish with rich texture or taste Or a side dish.

Of course! Dad's speed has always been worthy of the title of 'Xingping Dingshiya'! If the Dingshiya is not fast, others will steal the business and cry! As for the 'decoration'... I think it can be decorated , just like Dad, he had already thought about it at the beginning. And it was completed! Chuangzhen said.

On the other side, Liu Maoxing fell into crisis...

Although Liu Maoxing didn't lose immediately because his cooking hadn't taken shape yet, but Liu Maoxing understood that if this continues, the countdown to the completion of his own cooking will coincide with the countdown to the completion of his own cooking.

Is this Mr. Seiichiro's strength? Even though the ingredients are limited, he actually designed a dragon-level recipe in such a short period of time? And this chef's heart is... Liu Maoxing muttered with a pale face.

That's right, Seiichiro's cooking has reached the level of a dragon!

The reason why Liu Maoxing was relatively confident before was because he believed that it would be difficult for Seiichiro to create a dragon-level recipe in a team competition where the recipes had to be confirmed on the spot.

After all, even for a dragon chef, it is difficult to create a dragon-level recipe!

What's more, I want to do impromptu cooking in this way, within the specified time, and the ingredients and spices are all within a limited range, without any opportunity for experimentation.

However, what's more is useless, Seiichiro just succeeded!

And Liu Maoxing...

In the individual competition in the morning, the reason why the cooking reached the Dragon Level was because of the special ability of Sun Chef to cheat.

At that time, Liu Maoxing used the fragments of will he won from Paul and Xie Yunlong with the effect of Duel of Command, and the rest of the fragments he won from everyone else, but those were all one-time...

Now Liu Maoxing only has the fragment of will that he just won from Lin Yi in the individual competition in the morning!

Even if it is used, only Lin Yi's will fragments are not enough to make Liu Maoxing's sun exert the third stage effect...

To some extent, as long as the judges' psychology is not extremely biased towards Liu Maoxing, or there is a problem with their consciousness, then the cooking is destined to fail to reach the dragon-level Liu Maoxing, and they have already lost!

Moreover, the winner of the Dark Cuisine Showdown is decided by the contestants themselves. Liu Maoxing has absolutely no problem with his sense of taste, and the subconscious mind cannot cheat.

Could it be that Alice was right? Accidentally set the flag? Liu Maoxing smiled wryly and shook his head.

Probably because of the other party's heart, Liu Maoxing couldn't even recall his original recipe at this time, and it seemed that even his sense of taste had been blocked for a while.

And the few cooks who knew the truth saw the embarrassment in Liu Maoxing's eyes after tasting Seiichiro's cooking, and they couldn't help but stand up at this moment, obviously they discovered Liu Maoxing's dilemma!

Master Liu, after I lose in a while, can you replace me and continue the 'final showdown' with the opponent? I will try my best to keep the backlash within the scope of 'myself'! Liu Maoxing asked seriously.

Obviously, he wants to place his hopes on the fact that after he is killed by backlash, Liu Maoxing can continue to have the last final showdown with Seiichiro according to the original plan!

Otherwise, if this continues... Not only is the war unavoidable, Erina may also be in danger.

Impossible. Liu Maoxing said with a shrunken light in his heart.

Why? You weren't...

If you lose, it means that the insurance of the 'Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot' has expired. Even if there is a chance of recovery, it is still a matter of the 'Phoenix Pattern Jade Dragon Pot', not to mention...

Before Guangtuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Maoxing: Then what if I let you out now?

You're still going to die.

If you lose, you die, right?

As a cook, do you want to admit defeat before the cooking is finished?

Liu Maoxing, who was already a little irritable, couldn't help but annoyed: Have you been sealed for too long and your brain has gone bad? Didn't you want to use my body before? Why are you going back on your word now?

...

Now it's not that I want to escape, but that if I continue, I have no chance of winning! This is not a problem of on-site performance, but in essence, I don't have the basis to 'perform' to the same level as him! Liu Maoxing explained.

Then are you ready?

Guang Tuan actually agreed immediately again, as if it was just a polite concession just now.

I'll give you the last three minutes to recall my life. Guangtuan continued.

Recall that you'beep--'! Liu Maoxing even burst into foul language.

At this time, some audience members who were paying close attention to Liu Maoxing had already noticed something was wrong...

What's going on? Erina, do you feel... A Xing seems to be trembling? How is it possible... He is A Xing! Yu Mei suddenly asked a little flustered.

However, no response was received...

Erina? Eh? Where's Erina? Yu Mei came to her senses at this moment.

It was only then that the people around realized that they were all paying attention to the situation on the field just now, and that Erina... had disappeared!

Ah! What is Miss Erina doing there? Wait, Miss Erina, you can't go up now! Fei Shazi exclaimed.

I saw that the direction she was pointing at was Erina who had already arrived on the sidelines, looking like she wanted to interrupt the game!

But in the eyes of others, it was Erina who finally didn't lose her mind, and didn't make trouble on the field because she couldn't accept Liu Maoxing's failure...

Only a few people know that what Erina can't accept is not Liu Maoxing's failure, but Liu Maoxing's disappearance!

And it's not that he didn't lose his mind, but was blocked from the arena by the effect of Dark Cuisine Showdown, as if there was a wall, firmly blocking Erina!

The appearance of Erina crying and yelling and beating the invisible wall was only noticed by a few spectators nearby, who were still discussing why the leader of the Seed team was so psychologically fragile...

After Yu Mei and the others found out, they felt panicked for some reason, as if Erina's hysteria was contagious.

Liu Maoxing didn't stop trembling at this time, but when he saw the light group, he was determined to wait for him for three minutes, and he saw Erina at the side of the field, and Fei Shazi and Yu Mei who ran over after feeling something was wrong. Waiting for others, Liu Maoxing's body trembled even more violently.

Three minutes? That's okay... I don't know if you can hear my voice... I wanted to grit my teeth just now, and fall asleep after being a hero, so I don't have to think about anything... But there is a bastard, but I have to wait three minutes... Is it embarrassing for me to tremble?

That's right, it's not excitement this time, it's just pure fear... What did you say? Let me recall it in three minutes... On the contrary, the more you recall, the more afraid you become... I'm afraid that I will never have the opportunity to present my own food to you... What do you say? The guy who calms down before death must be the biggest liar...

Contrary to the impatient firmness at the beginning, during these three minutes, along with Liu Maoxing's involuntary memories, more and more fears were revealed because of the calm thinking!

Obviously I've experienced it once... Maybe it was too 'exciting' last time? Liu Maoxing smiled wryly.

Perhaps it was because of the lifetime before the time travel, when Liu Maoxing didn't even react, he was blown up to the sky, so there was no such long pain.

It is also because of the lifetime before the time travel, Liu Maoxing had already recalled the moment he was blown into the sky. In the last few seconds of three minutes, Liu Maoxing recalled in his mind from when he appeared at the gate of Yuanyue College, What happened...

P.S: The reason why so many books are pushed is because this is the last time to push a book other than myself...

The book is expected to be finished on Friday, and the new book will be released simultaneously at midnight on Friday (about 26 hours later). After that, when the finale is updated on Friday, the new book should have passed the review, and I will tell you what the new book is called at that time~
