Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

After the three of Liu Maoxing obtained the "Century-old Noodles", they returned to the hotel and saw that Liu Maoxing seemed to have doubts about the quality of the "Century-old Noodles". , You can also look for other old noodles in the rest of the time, or simply buy yeast powder.

And before the dough is made, the dough is naturally to be kneaded. What Liu Maoxing chose this time is just plain water kneading the dough, but the process of kneading the dough is not ordinary!

"Huh? Is this rolling pin too thin?" Alice looked at the small wooden stick in Liu Maoxing's hand, which was only slightly thicker than a finger, and said suspiciously.

"Just right, I found this model with great difficulty!" Liu Maoxing said.

Kurokiba said blankly: "Now it's just for kneading the dough, right? What are you doing with the rolling pin?"

"The so-called kneading is more important than the size of the force. The periodic movement of the force, such as using this stick, relies on the control of the wrist and fingers to continuously draw circles..."

As Liu Maoxing said, he pinched one end of the slender rolling pin in his hand as if holding a baton, and the other end went deep into the water in the basin filled with water, and drew a circle.

Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Tch, every time you can knead the dough so quickly, it's not because of that strange force..."

Liu Maoxing's strength is great, and he is already well-known in Yuanyue Academy, so it's no wonder that Alice would complain.

But just in the middle of speaking, Alice swallowed the rest of the words back, and saw that with the rotation of the thin rolling pin in Liu Maoxing's hand, the water in the entire basin gradually turned, gradually absorbing the surrounding flour...

In the end, the water disappeared, and the flour turned into dough, which was in the shape of a long snake, slowly turning with the thin rolling pin in Liu Maoxing's hand.

Although Liu Maoxing's internal force is not strong enough, the phenomenon of "long snake turning into a dragon" did not appear, flying up from the basin and circling the rolling pin, just kept turning in the basin, but it was enough to make Alice and Hei Mu The field was shocked...

"Bai Luo's unique skill, White Dragon Snake training...By the way, my usual way of meeting people is not pure brute force, but without some brute force, I really can't do it!" Liu Maoxing didn't seem to care Turning the thin stick vigorously, he explained what Alice said.

"This, this is?" Alice asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, just a little knack for making dough." Liu Maoxing smiled.

"...Finally it's not 'basic skills', but 'little tricks'?" Alice curled her lips with difficulty.

"Is there any other use besides fast?" Kurokiba poked at the dough that had been kneaded in just a short while, and asked a more practical question.

"Of course, 'Bailongshe Zhuanlian' kneading dough not only tastes better, but also ferments faster than ordinary kneading dough. For example, this piece of '100-year-old noodles' usually takes two to three hours to ferment. Now all I need is..." Liu Maoxing added the century-old noodles to the reconciliation noodles as he spoke.

The shocked expression appeared again, but this time it appeared on the faces of three people at the same time!

"Hey, hey, isn't that too exaggerated?" Liu Maoxing said with a serious face.

"Is this... the 'faster' you said? Or is it the effect of the old face? How is it possible!" Alice looked broken.

"It's definitely not the effect that a 'hundred-year' old face can have." The dull Kurokiba Ryo added.

In front of the three of them, there was a piece of fermented dough that had swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye!

If Alice and Kurokiba hadn't been watching Liu Maoxing's previous actions to confirm that he just added old noodles, they would definitely think that Liu Maoxing was performing some kind of magic trick, adding borax to the noodles or something...

Liu Maoxing reached out and pressed the almost hemispherical dough in front of him and said, "Complete... fermentation is complete!"

"How is it possible? The old noodles actually have such an effect? ​​This is completely different from the previous research results! By the way, I want my father to mail a piece to test it..." Alice said, wanting to take down a piece of fermented noodles.

But Liu Maoxing stopped him: "No way!"

"Huh? Isn't there still such a big group? It's enough for you to compete tomorrow, and I don't need too much..." Alice wondered.

"Didn't that old gentleman say it? After using it, don't make an old face! That is, you don't want us to use it for anything other than this competition." Liu Maoxing said seriously.

"But... this... aren't you curious? I want to use it for research, not for profit..." Alice still didn't give up.

"No, didn't we agree to that old man? If you want to study so much, you can go to Bizen's steamed bun shop tomorrow." Liu Maoxing was very determined.

Although Liu Maoxing is also curious, and he thinks he is not a flexible person, if it is a "coalition under the city" that he was forced to make, Liu Maoxing will not bother at all, but Liu Maoxing voluntarily agreed to the other party's previous promise, and then the other party just agreed. Give the old noodles to yourself, so you won't break the contract for other reasons, whether it's for profit or scientific research...

Although Alice felt a little pity, she obediently stopped, and reminded Liu Maoxing: "Then remember to put away the noodles after you finish it! Otherwise, I might not be able to resist secretly taking it at night!"

Afterwards, he murmured that if he wanted to go to Bizen’s house tomorrow, he must get the right to research “Old Noodles”!

Originally, because it was just for a competition, Alice could only use her own pocket money, 1 million yen was already the limit, and if this old noodle had research value, she could use the funds of the research institute, even if it was 100 million yen I believe her father will not object...

But Liu Maoxing vaguely guessed, I'm afraid Alice will be disappointed, this noodle should not be from Bizen's family at all, it is very likely to be "Kame Immortal"!

Now that Liu Maoxing recalled the appearance of Bizen's boss at that time, he felt more and more wrong, and the most weird thing was that when the old man first made a sound behind him, he actually surprised him?

One must know that with Liu Maoxing's sharp ears and eyesight after carrying internal strength, ordinary people would be spotted as long as they approached, but the old man looked more than half his age, but he was able to approach him quietly...

Liu Maoxing didn't realize his existence until he made a sound and startled himself!

And this piece of "hundred-year-old noodles" is even more wrong. On the way back, Liu Maoxing felt this way. With advanced four-star cooking skills, he can naturally identify old noodles, but because he has no actual identification experience, so Not sure!

According to the general routine, the so-called "100-year-old noodles" should be the result of rounding up the old noodles over 50 years old. If it really reaches 100 years, it will definitely indicate how many years are 100 years old. This is still an honest business. Some old noodles that may be several years or more than ten years old are all brought out to boast of century-old noodles.

But the effect of this... unless the boss of Bizen actually arrives and calls the 900-year-old noodles "a hundred-year-old noodles", is this possible?

Liu Maoxing even felt that this old noodle should be more than 900 years old, and the effect is not inferior to the legendary "Shu Han old noodle" of Bai Luo's family!

Such old noodles are definitely not something that the Bizen family can have. If Liu Maoxing didn't have the recipe of "Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Zhenhun Man", the "advanced four-star" cooking skills alone would not even be able to complete the old noodles. Neutralizes the sour...

If the owner of Bizen had such skills, his steamed bun shop would not be unknown.

Since the old noodle exists, it must be used frequently, so it is definitely not the noodle of the boss of Bizen. The most suspicious one is naturally the "Kame Immortal" at that time. Unfortunately, Liu Maoxing did not ask his name at that time.

And because the dry ingredients won't be delivered until tomorrow morning, Liu Maoxing can't test it out for the time being...

However, since the noodles have fully met the requirements, with the "Super Four Star" level of "Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Zhenhun Man", Liu Maoxing believes that he should have the hope of winning the championship!

Early the next morning, Liu Maoxing and Hei Muchang stepped onto the stage and entered the cooking table assigned by their team.

Therefore, there are only ten groups entering the finals, so unlike the preliminaries, everyone's cooking tables are not only small, but also next to each other.

Now it feels a bit like "Food Halberd", there are spectators in all directions, and the opponent is a little far away from himself.

At the same time, at the judges' table, there was a row of ten judges, each with 10 points of power, and the total score was 100 points!

Different from the preliminaries, the ten judges this time are all famous gourmets and food critics in the culinary world, and they are much more professional than in the preliminaries.

During the introduction of each group by the master of ceremonies, Liu Maoxing also discovered that the group of himself and Heikiba was the youngest group, and they were only thirty years old together!

That's right, the one from the Sugiyama family has already fallen in the preliminaries...

After Liu Maoxing's initial amazement, he realized for a while that his acupuncture and moxibustion skills are indeed amazing and powerful, directly enhancing the seafood raw materials to a higher level.

But how much time did he "waste" in order to learn this stunt? Even if he is also a genius in cooking, at most he only specializes in seafood, and the preliminaries cannot be passed by only knowing seafood.

From this point of view, the idea of ​​Commander Senzaemon is indeed correct!

After briefly introducing the ten groups of contestants, Liu Maoxing's pressure increased greatly, especially the group opposite him. When the two were 23 years old, they participated in the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Competition" for the first time and won the championship. Last year Reelected as the defending champions, this year is their last competition, whether it is the age limit or the number of times limit, it is the last time, both of them are also graduates of Yuanyue...

The other eight groups are also well-known in pastry cooking. Including the defending champion, three groups are graduates of Yuanyue, plus Liu Maoxing, a group of current students, a total of four groups of Yuanyue have entered the finals!

This made Liu Maoxing's heart flutter a little. Right after the start of the competition, the master of ceremonies did not stay idle, but introduced to the audience one by one the ingredients prepared by the contestants of each group.

What Liu Maoxing didn't know was that after introducing the eight kinds of dry goods he had prepared, an old man wearing a toad mirror in the auditorium was about to stare out his eyes, which was worse than yesterday when Liu Maoxing and the three saw the old noodles fermenting. to be shocked...
