Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Xi Jianjun didn't have any views on the sect, so he explained carefully to Liu Maoxing and Chuangzhen, but naturally he didn't have time to explain all the knowledge about spices, he just summed up some basic knowledge of the classification "spices" in spices

Spices specifically refer to the category of spices that contain pungent aromas. When it comes to "curry cuisine", it is natural to have to talk about spices.

According to Jun Xijian's simple classification, the most important spices are "aroma", "spicy" and "color". Among them, "spicy" is not "spicy" in a narrow sense. " kind of.

European-style curry, that is, Japanese curry, uses "strong fragrance" instead of pure "spicy" to satisfy diners who can't eat too spicy Indian curry.

As we all know, the most difficult thing in the use of spices is to mix them. After mixing various spices, there will be countless changes in color, aroma, and taste. The more types of spices are mixed, the more these changes will show exponential growth...

And Jun Xijian also pointed out that even with the same ratio of spices, whether each spice is fried in advance, the heating temperature, whether it is dry or fresh... and countless other factors will also have an impact!

Ye Shanliang on the other side also seemed to be provocative. He took Liu Maoxing and Chuangzhen to the kitchen to demonstrate to them in a practical way that under the same spice formula, the spices were processed in different ways in advance and the base materials for the spices were different. different effects.

Liu Maoxing also gradually understood the advantages and disadvantages of the "Spice Inequality". For the mixing and matching of spices, the "Spice Inequality" has an unparalleled calculation speed. With the "Super God Tongue", even spices that have never been seen before can be immediately " Input" data for simulation calculation.

But at the same time, the "spice inequality" is not very good at what Jun Shiomi said later, regarding the influence of temperature, oil and other factors on the taste of spices.

In other words, he is very good at physical mixing and chemical changes between spices. It is impossible to predict the chemical changes of spices due to external conditions. The more such changes, the more simulation calculations The error is also larger.

This is also the reason why the "spice inequality" can only calculate spices. If it is other ingredients, considering the changes in raw and cooked heat, the error will break through the sky...

Therefore, the usual practice of Blue-Eyes Tiger Mira is to imitate the other party's cooking, and then add spices at the end, so as to minimize the self-chemical changes of the spices and achieve the purpose of enhancing the deliciousness of the cooking.

But if the "curry cuisine" is based on spices, it is impossible for Liu Maoxing to add spices for decoration at the end, and if he completely relies on the "spice inequality", there will be huge errors...

"Thank you for the hospitality, and thank you for the explanation... I think I know where my weakness in the use of spices is. Afterwards, the other students of Jixing Liao may disturb you a little or two in the past few days, which will cause you trouble!" Liu Maoxing said.

Xi Jianjun is still very talkative about things other than Joichiro, and nodded upon hearing the words: "Well, yes, for the sake of 'Ji Xing Liao', I can teach you a little bit, but only This week, and after that I have my own research to do."

But Ye Shanliang looked at Liu Maoxing and said, "Looking at your eyes, it seems that you already have the confidence to make up for your weakness?"

"That's right, you should work hard too, be careful that after two months, you will be surpassed by me in terms of spices!" Liu Maoxing smiled.

"My sense of smell is the same as your sense of taste. They are different from ordinary people. I have also discovered that you seem to be able to perceive odor molecules with your tongue? But you must know that the same odor molecules are perceived by the sense of smell and perceived by the sense of taste. The results are not the same!

Before the appearance and deliciousness of the cuisine, it is always the aroma that is presented to diners first... Only those who can truly control the aroma can stand at the top of the cuisine world! " Ye Shanliang said confidently.

"I don't know if spices can make you stand at the top, but I admit that spices are very important... But to control spices, you need not only a good nose, but also a brain that can carry a huge number of changes!" As Liu Maoxing spoke, he took two steps closer to Ye Shanliang, and tapped his temple with the index finger of his left hand.

"Heh, are you confident in your own mind? But don't forget, it's not just me you'll face, Run will be with me, our combination is invincible!" Ye Shanliang believes in himself the most , but a combination of himself and Run.

"Then see you then!" Liu Maoxing waved his hand.

"Huh? According to you, won't you come again before school starts?" Ye Shanliang asked doubtfully.

Although Liu Maoxing is regarded as his biggest competitor, Ye Shanliang doesn't mind other people knowing more about spices, after all, this topic is already extremely beneficial to him.

"That's right, I'm planning to go to Northern Europe, and I won't be back until school starts! The molecular gastronomy there is very interesting, and there are specialties in the field. From them, it should be more intuitive to see that each spice is different from the external conditions. Let's set the rules of self-reaction!" Liu Maoxing said.

Indeed, although Jun Shimi focused on the research of spices, his research focused on the cultivation, preservation, and mixed use of spices.

In contrast, although the Institute of New Culinary Sciences in Denmark mainly studies molecular cuisine, the chemical reactions of spices themselves are naturally also in the scope of their research.

"Molecular gastronomy? Then I wish you luck!"

After Liu Maoxing returned to Jixing Liao, he immediately made a reservation with Alice. On the second day of the official holiday, he got on the plane to Denmark...

In the Danish Institute of New Cuisine, Liu Maoxing learned a lot of new things, including the chemical reaction records of various spices, and gradually enriched his "spice inequality".

Originally, Liu Maoxing wanted to stay in the Danish research institute for two months, and then go to Hokkaido with Alice and Kurokiba to participate in the "dessert event" before the start of school, but one month later, something happened Ling Alice's father chased and killed him for eight streets with a knife!

Therefore, I had to leave Denmark one month in advance, and before leaving, I made an appointment with Alice to meet in Hokkaido...

In a blink of an eye, the two-month summer vacation of Yuanyue Academy was over. Alice was wearing a big straw hat, and together with Kurokiba, they were waiting for someone at the door of the hotel they stayed in when they participated in the "Seafood Pastry Contest". look.

Not long after, Liu Maoxing also rushed over by taxi...

"Sorry, sorry, the plane is a bit late." Liu Maoxing said shyly.

"Tch, can't you come back a day early? I still have a lovely lady waiting for you!" Alice said with white eyes.

"After all, the hotel is very expensive for one night. If I come back first, don't I have to pay the bill myself?" Liu Maoxing looked like I was super shrewd.

Alice was about to complain when she suddenly remembered something. She glanced at her phone again and said, "Wait, there seems to be news that the plane was delayed just now... Did you go to the United States?"

Originally, Alice thought that if Liu Maoxing hadn't returned to Yuanyue this month, he should have gone home!

But judging from the time, the plane Liu Maoxing took should be from New York to Hokkaido...

"Well, I really wanted to go home and have a look, but suddenly remembered that I had other things to deal with, so I went to the United States." Liu Maoxing didn't explain what it was, and Alice didn't ask further.

After a while, Liu Maoxing couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Alice in a low voice, "So...has Director Nakiri calmed down?"

Alice blushed when she heard the words, and then said with wild eyes: "Ben, there is nothing wrong! Even I haven't said anything yet... It's because you are too nervous!"

At this moment, Kurokiba interjected blankly: "En? Didn't the director say that when he told you to see A Xing..."

"Shut up!" Alice stopped him.

Seeing Alice's reaction, Liu Maoxing quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, who are the top 50 dessert masters participating in this 'Dessert Festival'? How many kinds of desserts will appear in the event?"

"This is the brochure I received before, and it says... We are lucky for this grand event! Among the top ten dessert masters, three will be there. In the past, only one of the top ten masters will come. Most of the cases, sometimes bad luck, maybe even no top ten masters participated." Alice said expectantly, and handed a booklet to Liu Maoxing.

"The total number is thousands of species? So many?" Liu Maoxing asked in surprise.

"That's right, after all, there will be hundreds of experts in desserts participating, and many pastry chefs offer more than one kind of dessert... How about it? If you want to eat which kind, you'd better plan it first!" Alice said.

"Which one do you want to eat? No, it seems that you don't know much about my style at the buffet!"

Hearing Liu Maoxing's words, Alice had a bad feeling in her heart...

Which would you like to eat? Just kidding, in the past two months, Liu Maoxing managed to improve his culinary skills by one star, reaching "advanced five-star", and has been stuck here since then, hoping to break through the special level with the "dessert event"!

And there are only more than 1,400 kinds of desserts in three days. In the "dessert event" for three consecutive days, if he didn't eat anything else, Liu Maoxing felt that it was still possible for him to achieve his goal.

Although it is not possible to take out the buffet "through the back door" like in Yuanyue Hotel, the desserts are not like dishes, and the amount of each should not be large...

Therefore, in this Hokkaido "dessert event", there is a legend of "big stomach king"...
