Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"French-style Picardy burritos? If I remember correctly, Subaru Mimasaka's family should be operating French cuisine, right?" Liu Maoxing said to himself after seeing Subaru Mimasaka's cuisine.

Xia Ya frowned and said, "Huh? Are the two ends completely sealed with hot cheese? No wonder you could smell a good fragrance from your side before, but now the finished product is completely restrained."

"Picardy burrito, a special dish of the Picardy region of France that rolls ham, shallots, mushrooms and other ingredients inside the bread, sprinkles cream and cheese on the outside, and then bakes it."

Xiangtian said that he had already picked up the knife and fork, and was about to cut a small piece of dough...

Just when the five judges cut the fully rolled pancakes, as if detonating a spice bomb, a burst of aroma of "Curry Fish Head Soup" second only to the previous one by Ryo Hayama exploded from the curry exposed in the pancakes Come!

The judges, who were somewhat fatigued due to the four consecutive delicious curry dishes before, were instantly overwhelmed by the explosion, and even looked at the front of them in disbelief as if they were really impacted by the explosion. Curried Picardy Burrito.

"This, this is... After wrapping the curry in the burrito, seal the ends with cream and cheese, and then bake it... Is the curry completely sealed in the burrito because of the melting of the cheese?"

The judges were full of expectations, forked the dough and put it into the mouth together with the ham, diced mushrooms, small onions, etc. inside!

"Indeed! Roasting and heating make the curry flavor inside thicker and more explosive!"

"In this noodle... kneaded cumin seeds? It makes the baked crispy noodle more fragrant..."

"There is also hot cream and cheese on the outside, so that the tongue immersed in the spices can rest temporarily, and then better taste the flavor of the curry Picardy burrito." Kosaka tasted the hot cheese outside the burrito with satisfaction.

At this moment, Xiangtian's eyes lit up and said: "This ham is... Jinhua ham?"

"That's right, it's the Jinhua ham that uses the hind legs of the Jinhua two-headed crow, which is a specialty in China, as the raw material. The high proportion of muscle fat unique to Jinhua pigs helps to coordinate the curry flavor I created with twelve spices! "Misaku Subaru nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Maoxing muttered, "Using Jinhua ham for French cuisine? There are also twelve kinds of spices to create a curry flavor. This guy is growing fast..."

At this time, the judges' scores came out, 18, 18, 19, 19, 18...

"92 points! Subaru Misaku scored a high score of 92 points, second only to Kurokiba, and temporarily ranked second!" Yua Sasaki announced.

However, Subaru Mimasaka's popularity is obviously worse than that of Liu Maoxing. After seeing the score of 92, the audience booed constantly, but Subaru Mimasaka acted like a gentleman and bowed to the surroundings as if it was all applause for him. ... It's just that the sturdy figure is a bit inconsistent with the gentleman's manners!

At the same time, Subaru Misaku looked at Koda who gave 18 points and said: "Mr. Kota, if Liu Maoxing also has 18 points, don't forget to help me compare!"

"Don't worry." Xiangtian agreed.

After that, Subaru Misaku turned around and handed the sixth "Picardy Curry Burrito" to Liu Maoxing.

"It's an astonishing amount of progress, how did you do it?"

After Liu Maoxing tasted it, he found that Misaku Subaru's cuisine, like Kurokiba Ryo's Ise Curry Lobster, reached the level of "super three-star", although in comparison, Mimaza Subaru barely touched the edge of three-star... …

But considering that this is still a homemade dish, Subaru Misaku has made great progress in the past three months!

"Like I said, I just 'stalked' myself!" said Subaru Misaku.

"Huh? 'Tracking' yourself? What the hell do you mean?"

"My ability can rely on collecting other people's information, and then conduct personality simulations, and even speculate on the other party's new recipe! That is, I can be one step faster than the other party while 'tracking'... After classmate Liu Maoxing's holiday As a reminder, I suddenly understood that it is better to be one step faster than myself than to be one step faster than others.

So the present me can also be the future me, as long as I know myself better and better, I can still 'track' the future me of the future, the future me of the future! "

Subaru Misaku's words made the players around him look sideways... Could it be possible to "become" the future self and keep improving by relying on "tracking" oneself?

After pondering for a while, Liu Maoxing said: "Throwing away those abstract statements, in fact, your current ability is that you can improve by deepening your understanding of yourself, right?"

"It can also be understood in this way!"

And Yu Mei comforted Ryoko a few words, because with Subaru Misaku rushing to the second place, Ryoko who was originally fourth was far away from the right to qualify.

"...Don't worry! Liangzi, I will definitely kick out one of those two guys!" Yu Mei finally said.

Ibuzaki couldn't help but said helplessly: "Are you really comforting Ryoko? You don't just want to provoke me and Zenji..."

At this time, he and Shanji tied for third place, both with 88 points!

Just as the other contestants were shocked by Subaru Misaku's words, a female voice suddenly came from behind him: "Let me go, I'm going to present the dishes later."

It was Yu Mei who held the tray with five dinner plates and lids in one hand, and presented it to the judges after Subaru Misaku stepped aside.

Because of the explosion of the aroma of Misaku Subaru before, the five judges opened the cover of the plate curiously, and were ready to experience the baptism of taste.

However, after opening it, I didn't feel any shocking aroma. Even if the food was presented directly in front of me, I could only feel a hint of spicy aroma...

"This is... barbecue?" Xia Ya frowned.

What I saw lying on the dinner plate were three thick skewers of barbecued meat. Each piece was thicker than the palm of your hand, and between the almost cubic pieces of meat, what was mixed was not vegetables, but another texture, and it was much thinner. sliced ​​meat...

"Do you use beef tongue as a match for beef tenderloin? From the perspective of collocation, it's a bit extreme!" Kosaka said.

Xiangtian moved his nostrils and said, "En? It seems that there is a scent that is not strong, but very attractive... let's try it first!"

Speaking of the five judges, they all picked up the whole beef skewers in front of them. When the thick tenderloin was in the mouth, with the opening and closing of the lips and teeth, it seemed that the full gravy overflowed in the mouth!

While the gravy was splashing in their mouths, the judges seemed to hear the sound of cows mooing in their ears...

Xia Ya, who didn't seem to have a cold for barbecue before, and frowned, couldn't help moaning.

"Marinade! Did you consider the curry flavor in the marinade?"

"There is also beef tongue, which is a stewed product with a curry flavor!"

"The most wonderful thing is the heat of this barbecue. It is obviously a charcoal fire barbecue, but it can be controlled so just right. There is no rough feeling when tasting barbecue dishes. It seems... as if it is carefully cooked and meticulous! And there is grilling The charcoal smell that the stove does not have!"

"Indeed, although at first glance, it does not have a strong curry flavor, but in fact it is all contained in the gravy..."

"And in terms of taste, it is not as monotonous as imagined. The curry-flavored braised beef tongue perfectly adjusts the greasy taste of barbecue."

As the judges commented, they ate all the three meat skewers in front of them. Even Xia Ya didn't have the feeling of keeping a respectful distance from high-calorie beef.

"That... for the next judging, please control your food intake..." Youai persuaded weakly. After all, the calories and satiety of beef are very high.

From this point of view, Yu Mei dared to serve such a large portion of beef to each of the judges, which was a kind of self-confidence in itself.

But obviously, none of the five people paid any attention to her, and they all finished the "Curry Beef Roast Meat" in front of them before starting to rate!

18, 19, 18, 19, 18... Another 92 points!

"92 points! Congratulations to Yumei Mito, who is currently tied for second place with Subaru Misaku! If the ranking remains unchanged, after all the evaluations are over, the five judges will vote to decide. Zenji Marui and Jun Ibuzaki who are tied Who will advance to the finals!"

Zenji couldn't help but said to Ibuzaki: "It's really bad luck... You, who practice mysticism, finally showed your strength once, and it seems that you will be suppressed."

"To each other, don't you never show your 'fangs' easily?" Ibuzaki said silently.

However, both of them are convinced of Yu Mei and Meizuo's cooking. They also tasted the portion reserved for Liu Maoxing by Meizuo, and Yu Mei gave them food according to the tradition that Liu Maoxing brought up in Jixing Liao. There are also small tasting items prepared.

"From half a year ago, with the help of ingredients, I could barely touch the super grade, has it grown to the point where I can touch the 'super grade three stars'?" Liu Maoxing couldn't help but feel that his hard work was not in vain.

You must know that Yu Mei's cooking is what Liu Maoxing tastes the most every day. Although he has improved before, it is not so obvious. Unexpectedly, in the two months of separation, Yu Mei finally accumulated the previous experience!

After all, in the last semester, most of Liu Maoxing’s three meals were taken care of by Yumei Mito, even though later because of the bet with Takmi, after returning from accommodation and training, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, dinner was added Italian cuisine, but Liu Maoxing's food intake after growth is not enough for a main course to satisfy at all!

"It's actually reached this level with only meat dishes. If you can also use other ingredients..."

"No, maybe it's because of the pursuit of the ultimate in meat dishes that it has reached this level!"

The lecturers' views on Mito Yumei have also changed a lot. In the minds of the lecturers before, Mito Yumei was one of the outstanding first-line students, but he was a bit biased and not top-notch. , now Yu Mei really has a status comparable to top students in the hearts of the lecturers!

The students once gave Mito Yumei the nickname "The Invader of Meat", but now there are some good people who have upgraded her to the "Prince of Meat"...

"Tch, is it only second?" Yu Mei still looked a little dissatisfied.

But at this time, Ye Shan made a move, looked at Liu Maoxing and Xingping Chuangzhen and said: "Since you are not going to go first, then I will go first!"
