Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Please taste it! My 'Lemon Frozen Cake'!" Takmi finished the cooking first.

Five "Snow Cakes" decorated with lemon slices were placed in front of each judge.

A top layer of crumbs of almonds and hazelnuts, followed by layers of "ice cream" and cake...

Of course, the so-called "ice cream" layer is not really ice cream, and Xuezang's translation should be regarded as "half ice cream".

This is a cream and egg white mixture mixed with lemon juice and lemon shavings, heated and then refrigerated, it will have a texture similar to ice cream.

And between the ice cream and the cake layer, there is a thin layer of lemon curd, if you don't look carefully, you really can't find it!

The five judges used spoons to divide a small piece of the snow cake that was soft enough to shake gently and put it in their mouths...

"Hmm! I have tasted countless frozen cakes, many of which were made by professional dessert chefs! But... none of them gave me the same feeling as this frozen cake! This feeling is... yes..."

"It's lemon flavor. What's the matter with this overwhelming lemon flavor? Could it be that in addition to the lemon you saw, there's actually lemon essence added?"

"Impossible! Artificial lemon essence, I can't taste it!"

When the judges were puzzled by this lemon flavor, Takmi smiled and said: "It's not the essence, but the 'lemon curd' I made myself."

"Lemon curd? Is it the kind of condiment that originated in England? It used to be a tribute to the British royal family!"

"So that's the thin layer sandwiched between the snow and the cake, right? Just a layer of curd milk has raised the flavor of this work to a higher level..."

"Wait, usually the ingredients of lemon curd should be eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, zest, and butter. But if you taste the lemon flavor carefully, it should not be butter, but... olive oil?"

Takmi said, picked up the bottled olive oil that he always carried and said: "That's right, and it's in my store. The homemade lemon olive oil is used to make lemon curd. The flavor is extra mellow, making it easier to accept."

Ma Changluofu said: "No, this lemon curd is just a 'finishing touch'. Although the 'finishing touch' will make the flavor of the lemon snow cake to a higher level, the reason why the 'finishing touch' can It is effective, but it is because 'Drawing Dragon' itself is also very successful!"

"That's right, together with the lemon curd full of Italian ideas, there is also this fluffy cake that is as fine as a sponge, and the lemon ice cream that is moderately sweet and sour and makes people linger between the lips and teeth, all of which are top notch select……"

Under Ma Changluofu's "prompt", the attention of the judges also returned to the snow cake itself!

This is definitely not just a creative dessert for consumption. No matter in terms of foundation, improvement or creativity, it has reached a height that is unimaginable that it is made by a year-old.

"It seems that player Liu Maoxing is really going to be in some trouble this time!" Long Er said with a smile, he had also heard about Liu Maoxing's perfect score before.

"Sure enough, when it comes to desserts, Italian-born takomi has a greater advantage..." Anzai Koyoshi said the same.

"It's far from the time to make a final decision! Didn't you understand what Liu Maoxing did before? I like this kind of cooking that I can't figure out the most!" preferences.

"However, the deliciousness of desserts is not only determined by the amount of creativity. If it is not delicious enough, it is just a gimmick even if it is incomprehensible." Saitama said while holding his chin.

Just as the judges were splitting their opinions, the audience off the court was already discussing in the middle of the review.

"That guy Takumi...is really strong!"

"Indeed, the commander-in-chief was 'clothes torn' from the very beginning..."

"The worst thing is that he is also very good at desserts. Compared with the transfer students who are better at Chinese cuisine, he is really at a disadvantage."

"That's right, most of the Chinese desserts don't have enough impact, so it's hard to compete in competitions..."

"Look! The desserts for the transfer students have also been finished!"

"Wait, wait... what is that?"

"Small biscuits... floating on the plate? Am I not mistaken?"

"That's right! It's floating!"

Amidst the audience's discussion, Liu Maoxing also took out his "mooncake" from the freezer. Unlike snow cakes that must be refrigerated to taste their unique delicacy, Liu Maoxing's mooncakes are only slightly cooled to lower the temperature of the previously baked mooncakes. temperature……

After all, be it the syrup or the chocolate inside, they are all in a melting state at high temperature, and Liu Maoxing needs to re-cool them and solidify them.

And what made the audience chatter loudly was that on the tray in Liu Maoxing's hands, among the five small plates, there were a few small red biscuits "floating" on each of them!

That's right, although the floating is not high, it is only a thin layer, but under the close-up of the broadcast screen, the biscuit does not seem to have any contact with the plate.

Not only the audience, but among the five judges, apart from Senzaemon who had already guessed, the other four also stared wide-eyed. Even Senzaemon was not completely unmoved.

Even when Liu Maoxing put Xiaodie in front of the five judges, they couldn't immediately see the key point...

"How does this work? Why do the cookies float on the plate?" Bachanglove asked.

However, his movements were always a beat faster than his words, and while raising doubts, he had already reached out to a few "biscuits" on the plate.

However, just as he was about to touch it, Ma Changluo found that his fingers had the feeling of touching something before they touched the "biscuit".

"Huh? This is..." Ma Changluofu said, picking up the dessert on the plate.

After he picked it up, both the other judges and the audience who saw this scene on the big screen all understood what was going on!

It turned out that it was not four small red biscuits floating out of thin air, but a round cake-shaped, completely transparent "carrier" with a diameter of about eleven or two centimeters and a thickness of three or four centimeters, which contained about 70% of the space of the whole carrier. Four red fillings!

"As you can see, this is a mooncake...my special five-nut mooncake!" Liu Maoxing said.

Ma Changluofu raised the mooncake above his head, and looked at the light to see some outlines. The degree of transparency is really shocking!

"'Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi'?" Senzaemon said, picking up the transparent mooncake with four "small biscuits" embedded in it.

Before everyone's attention was completely attracted by the unscientific "floating", it was only then that they had time to pay attention to the four red "biscuits" inside.

The four "small biscuits" are also round, and in the transparent moon cakes, there are "field"-shaped divisions.

Since this is a "moon cake", does it mean that the inside is not a "biscuit" but a filling?

At the same time, these four pieces of stuffing are also in various shapes. The outer outline is round, but the strokes built in an uneven way inside are exactly four round seal characters. Senzaemon recognized it. It is the round seal character of the four characters "Fu Lu Shou Xi"!

Usually this kind of round seal characters can only be seen on window grilles, ancient monuments or ancient seals. Some cute moon cakes will also use molds to print the pattern of this round seal character, but Liu Maoxing's "five kernels moon cake" , but it is purely hand-kneaded, whether it is the round and outrageous outer skin, or the complicated round seal characters inside!

Seeing that the judges didn't move, Liu Maoxing took the initiative to remind: "Since it's a moon cake, I suggest that everyone don't use a knife and fork, just pick it up!"

Only then did the judges put the "special five-nut mooncake" in front of their mouths...

The mooncakes looked so perfect, like a work of art, that the judges couldn't bear to eat them.

In the end, it was the "Demon Eater" Senzaemon who was the first to take a bite of the mooncake!

The other four judges learned from this example, and they all tasted it one after another...

"Ah! This stuffing is..."

"Sesame chips?"

"Banana Peanut Butter Toast?"

"Coconut almonds?"

"Chocolate walnut truffles?"

The four people actually said four kinds of answers. After looking at each other, they turned their attention to the moon cake in their hands again!

With the tongues of the four of them, it is impossible for such a big error to occur! Then the only possibility is that there are clearly four kinds of fillings for this mooncake...

Senzaemon even tried the four kinds of fillings separately from the beginning, and they were in the order of "Fukurokushouxi".

After the entrance of the word "Fu", the upper half of Senzaemon's outer robe has already collapsed...

After the word "Lu" was entered, the upper part of the robe completely fell off...

After entering the word "Shou", Senzaemon's long white hair seemed to be a little more disheveled...

After entering the word "Xi", the commander-in-chief's beard and hair have become like a lion's mane!

"That, that is..."

"That's right! It's one step closer to 'clothes ripping apart'..."

"The beards are swollen! Only when you taste the must-kill dishes of the ten masters, will you have swollen beards!"

The exclamation in the auditorium continued to echo.

Facing this scene, Liu Maoxing was not surprised. After all, the filling of the "five-nut mooncake" was already a one-time recipe he used for the "Wuying noodles" that he used when he knew Lu and Meera had a competition. This method constructs a "shadowless skin" that is not only transparent in appearance, but also has a strong taste tolerance!

The four kinds of fillings inside are also selected from countless nut desserts. After the improvement of the fillings, they are dyed red with some slight tomato sour and its own slightly bitter taste. Wrapped with peach kernel powder to avoid the sharp taste and taste when tasting the "filling" directly.

These alone have already made this "special five-nut mooncake" a super five-star level. Liu Maoxing's plan from the beginning was also enough to reach this level...

However, what Senzaemon said to him yesterday made Liu Maoxing change his mind halfway, and used the "chef's heart prototype" once when cooking. It has been greatly improved, and the "special five-nut mooncake" has been forcibly raised to the level of touching the tiger-level threshold!

In fact, most of the so-called "ten outstanding dishes" can't reach this level. The chief commander's "beard and beard are furious" is mainly because he feels the concentration behind the cooking.

Anyone's must-kill dish, in fact, is bound to have an astonishing "concentration" when cooking. It's just that students who usually have "must-kill dishes" are already at the top ten level, so it gives everyone this illusion...

And the so-called "must-kill dishes" are actually the introduction to "the prototype of the heart of the chef". As a "must-kill dish", the cooking is bound to be the result of the cook's extraordinary performance when the "concentration" is extremely high!

When there is a "must-kill dish", it means that the cook has touched the edge of "the prototype of the heart of the chef", and when he can exert the concentration of the "must-kill dish" in any cooking, it means that the "rudiment of the heart of the chef" It has been fully formed, and it needs enough "will" to go one step further...that is, to make the heart of the chef take shape and completely transform into the heart of the chef.
