Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"The official competition is tomorrow. Does anyone want to buy ingredients together later?" Dawu asked everyone after the opening speech.

In terms of ingredients, the autumn selection competition is the same as the food halberd. It needs to be prepared by the chef himself. It is allowed to use semi-finished products with simple process and time-consuming, such as some special sauces or ingredients that need to be fermented. It is impossible to complete the three hours of the competition. .

"By the way, if it's just simple basic ingredients, you can collect them for me. I'll ask Grandma Wenxu to help us order them. They can be delivered to Jixing Liao tomorrow morning. You can only buy some special ingredients by yourself," said Liangzi. .

"If you need any high-quality meat, just tell me, the Mito Group can exclusively sponsor it!"

"Really? Great, that helped a lot!"

"Well, it doesn't matter. After all, they are the judges of the 'Autumn Selection Competition', and they are all well-known figures in the gourmet world. Letting them try the meat of the Mito Group is also a form of publicity!" Yu Mei said generously.

However, Liu Maoxing surprisingly didn't order any meat from Yu Mei this time, and he didn't even go to buy the needed ingredients with everyone. He just asked Wenxu to help order a batch of basic ingredients.

Seeing that Liu Maoxing was filling out the purchase form that Liangzi handed him, Alice suddenly said behind her: "Ah! Why do you only use these things? It can't be... I can lend you the money first !"

"Hey, this is the ingredients of our 'Ji Xing Liao' contestant, please don't take a peek!" Yu Mei said unhappily.

"Eh? I still need to peek at your ingredients?" Alice responded with a disdainful tone.

Liangzi quickly persuaded: "Okay, okay, it's just some basic ingredients, just look at it..."

But Yu Mei and Alice continued to stare at each other as if they didn't hear it at all.

Apparently, Liang Zi also noticed that Yu Mei was not angry because the other party "peeked" at the purchase list from the very beginning!

"Isn't it because I want to lend money to Ah Xing, so a certain maid can't stand it?" Alice said provocatively.

"Huh? Why can't I stand it? But by the way, isn't it normal for a maid to spend money on 'Master'?" Yu Mei blushed and bit the word "Master" to death.

"...What kind of ghostly setting is this? Shouldn't it be reversed?" Alice complained weakly.

Erina on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Okay, Alice, are you going to shame the Nakiri clan? Stop making unnecessary arguments!"

"Huh? Then my dear sister, I don't know who is paying for Ah Xing's travel to Northern Europe..."

"Don't say it as if you want to keep me, okay? Didn't they also help you taste it? Especially in the Danish research institute, my quick calculation on spices directly helped you perfect the separation computer!" Liu Maoxing endured. Can't help interjecting.

Indeed, during the month in Denmark, Liu Maoxing's main gain was to be familiar with the conditions and results of the chemical reactions of spices themselves.

And using his quick calculation ability, he perfected the system in this aspect of the research institute...

Liu Maoxing still remembers the unbelievable expressions of those researchers in Northern Europe when he, a "layman", really perfected the calculation of the computer with the human brain!

Of course, it doesn’t really count that Liu Maoxing is simply helping the Institute of New Cuisine. At the same time, he also absorbed the information of various spices in the Institute, and optimized the “Spice Inequality”...

After all, it was determined in the era of Meera that the "Spice Inequality" was flawed in mathematical algorithms, and it just complemented the advantages and disadvantages of the computer of the research institute.

"That's right! Ah Xing often helps me taste dishes! So..." Yu Mei was interrupted by Liu Maoxing again in the middle of her speech.

"Huh? What 'A Xing'? I seem to have heard someone call me 'Master' just now?"

"You heard me wrong!"

"But don't worry, I really don't need to spend any money this time! For the basic ingredients, Wenxu Maria will not charge me for it, for the spices... I will go directly to the spice research meeting to ask for some later. The spices there are more complete and fresher!" Liu Maoxing looked calculated.

And Yuji whispered to Chuangzhen at this time: "I said that Ah Xing really has a good relationship with Ye Shanliang? I always feel that the black skin seems to be difficult to get along with, and Ah Xing is not very popular..."

Chuangzhen remembered the last time he and Liu Maoxing went to the Spice Research Association, and couldn't help saying: "You are too naive! It is an ability to have a good relationship with people so that you can directly ask for spices... It is obvious that the relationship with people is not good. It is also a kind of ability to be able to have the cheek to force spices!"

After that, Ye Shanliang probably also made the same complaint in his heart...

On the afternoon of the opening speech, Ye Shanliang saw Liu Maoxing again at the gate of the seminar, and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you say that Run only has time during the week of the holiday? Run is very busy recently!"

"No, it's not something that takes time. In fact, there is no need to bother Professor Xijian." Liu Maoxing said with a smile.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Ye Shan had an ominous premonition.

"Tomorrow is going to be a competition. After all, it is 'curry cuisine'. Hayama, your spices here are the most complete and of the highest quality, so... you know!"

Seeing Liu Maoxing's smiling face, Ye Shan wanted to punch him...

But in the end, he took a deep breath and said, "Come with me! If you reject me, you probably have to make excuses for losing to me later, right?"

"Huh? How do you know, I was going to use this to provoke you?"

"..."

Ye Shanliang didn't care that Liu Maoxing used the high-quality spices from the research society, and Liu Maoxing didn't care about the type of spices he used, Ye Shanliang knew.

As soon as Liu Maoxing selected twenty-seven kinds of spices in one breath, nineteen of them were spices, Ye Shanliang couldn't help but said: "Have you listened to the previous lecture? In a dish, the number of spices used should not exceed twenty at most. Seed! Know that the more spices you use, the more benefits they will cover up each other!"

"It doesn't matter. The so-called maximum quantity limit is actually aimed at the chef's ability to control spices, right? Twenty kinds...is the limit for you who have the sense of smell of God?"

Facing Liu Maoxing's question, Ye Shanliang did not answer, but replied with a confident smile: "You are also in Group A, right? It looks like it will be an interesting preliminaries!"

After Liu Maoxing left, Ye Shanliang looked at the spice racks where there were vacant seats after Liu Maoxing selected, and said to himself, "Could it be 'that' cuisine? I'm very confident..."

Early the next morning, Liu Maoxing entered the assembly hall together with other students from "Ji Xing Liao", and then divided into two teams, entering the venues A and B respectively.

Although the competition starts at eleven o'clock, there are a lot of ingredients and tools prepared in advance, and it's not like a "one-on-one" food halberd. There are other people who can help you with things, so basically everyone starts at nine o'clock. busy.

At 10:30, most of the audience had already entered the arena. All the first-year students and most of the second-year students, lecturers from various departments, and even quite a few top ten students would be the audience.

At eleven o'clock, the emcee's voice rang on time, because Rei Kawashima was the emcee in the B field, so it was rare to see a "new face" in the A field in the position of the emcee!

"Hi everyone! I'm Yuai Sasaki, the emcee of today's preliminaries A competition area! Are all the contestants ready? The three-hour preliminaries will start soon! During the three hours, as long as the contestants finish cooking, they can Submit it to the judges, and then the five judges will each have 20 points for scoring, and the total score will be 100 points! The top four contestants will be able to enter the final!"

Compared with Rei Kawashima, Yuai is less pretentious, but more timid, quite like the little girl next door.

Liu Maoxing is familiar with Sasaki Yuai. After all, on his first day of enrollment, in Professor Chapelle's class, during the assessment of "Burgundy Red Wine Beef Stew", Yuai was in Wada's group. It is also the group that received the most tutoring from Liu Maoxing.

Although there were five judges, the seat among the five judges in Group A was still vacant until the start of the competition was announced, and no one was seated until half an hour later...

The person who came was a young woman in a long white dress with a good figure and a beauty mole under the corner of her right eye.

Although he came late, his attitude was still aggressive, and he retorted at Rui Shan's "reminder", Rui Shan could only whisper a few words about it.

After all, this "Natsuya Sentaura" is the contemporary helm of HOB Foods, a leader who occupies the 200 billion yen curry market every year, and is called the "Queen of Curry" together with his sister "Orie Sentaura"!

Since Chiba Natsuya is in Group A, Chiba Orie is in Group B...

"Have you already started the preparation process? By the way, I heard that Yuanyue has two annuals who won the 'Seafood Pastry Contest' in Hokkaido this year? Who are they?" Qian Wuxiaya asked as soon as she sat down road.

Obviously, that competition still had some influence, especially after the 15-year-old boy won the championship, it was widely reported, so Xia Ya was also a little interested.

Ruishan who was behind him was stunned when he heard the words, another judge next to Xia Ya, Kata Shigenosuke with two upturned beards, had already pointed to Liu Maoxing and replied: "The student Liu Maoxing is the one over there. That... three months ago, I was his judge of the food halberd, and his performance at that time left a deep impression on me, what kind of surprises will we have today?"

"There is another Kurokiba player who partnered with him in Hokkaido, the student with messy hair over there, right? It seems that he has no energy." On the other side, the popular gourmet TV program producer "Military Kosakamaki" blade," said.

And Qianyou Xiaya frowned at Liu Maoxing's movements and asked, "What is he doing?"
