Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Eh? There seems to be some 'strange' equipment on Ah Xing's side. What is that big box with no edges and corners?"

The semi-finals will start soon, Yu Ji, who has already entered the auditorium, looked at Liu Maoxing's side suspiciously, and placed another large-scale equipment.

It looks like eight movable boards that are connected to the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the robot. At this time, they are not put together, but there are gaps. It looks like a big box that has not been put together tightly...

"This... Even if you look at me, I don't know." Shanji said helplessly.

"It's an all-round smart oven!"

"It turned out to be omnidirectional...ah! When did you come here?" Yuki suddenly turned her head and looked at Alice who was sitting behind the "Ji Xing Liao" in amazement.

"An all-round smart oven? What is that? And... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an oven, does it? It's not closed at all..." Ryoko asked puzzled.

Alice explained: "It consists of eight high-temperature heating plates that can completely control the direction, distance and temperature, and can exhibit a high temperature that is more than ten times higher than that of the oven heating tube, because it does not require a closed design, completely simulating various As long as the data entered by the flame is complete, you can complete the fire control that can only be achieved by a top griller!"

"Huh? Can you still use this kind of thing during the competition?" Zhaoji questioned. He is still brooding about the equipment used to make sushi.

"If that kind of equipment is real, it's not impossible to use it. After all, there's no need to give up technology and industry innovation and development in order to take care of guys who can't keep up with the times, right?" Alice said as a matter of course.

"Wait, you said 'if' there is that kind of equipment?" Shanji heard the meaning behind it.

"That's right, what I just said was the effect in theory..."

"Then actually?" Yuki asked.

"Actually, the first half has been achieved, but when it comes to 'entering data'...the change model is too huge. After all, even if it is the same ingredient, there is a big gap between individuals. If it is not adjusted in a targeted manner, it can only be regarded as half-baked. It's just a grill master!

As for the modeling of large amounts of data, the function of intelligently retrieving the status of ingredients is still under development because it is too complicated... so the 'intelligence' has not yet been realized, and those high-temperature heating plates must be manually controlled, so this is also a semi-finished product of the research institute. , one of the most difficult types of equipment to operate, usually requires more than three people to cooperate to operate, and it does not reduce the difficulty of controlling the fire, it just changes more..." Alice explained.

"Eh? Then why Ah Xing..."

Alice rolled her eyes and said: "How do I know, Ah Xing asked me to borrow it, so I will lend it to him! It is very laborious to transport this thing by air!"

And at this moment, the master of ceremonies, Rei Kawashima, announced: "The semi-finals of the autumn selection competition will start soon, and the first match will start soon! The first one to appear is...Xing Ping Chuangzhen from the small roadside restaurant!"

Liu Maoxing secretly complained in the passage, these people really have an unusual prejudice against the origin of "small restaurants", and up to now Chuangzhen doesn't even have a decent nickname.

"Huh?" Liu Maoxing was suddenly surprised, because he heard the cheers outside... and it was loud, and the wave was higher than the wave!

"When did Chuangzhen become so popular?" Liu Maoxing was muttering, and gradually heard everyone's shouts...

"Xing Ping Chuangzhen! Get rid of that Liu Maoxing! Come on!"

"Show that guy who knows how to date all day long!"

"On behalf of justice, judge him!"

"How dare you attack Ms. Erina... I will never let him go!"

Liu Maoxing couldn't help dripping cold sweat from his forehead: "Hey, hey, it doesn't seem that Chuangzhen's popularity is high, but my popularity... No, it's Erina's popularity! But I can't tell, isn't everyone afraid of her? "

That's right, it was because of the news that Queen Yuanyue, who was both envied and feared by everyone, had "dated" someone for three days, caused Liu Maoxing's negative popularity to explode!

"Ah? Didn't Ah Xing and Erina just go to find Fei Shazi?" Alice tilted her head in doubt.

"...It seems that you were the one who started spreading the rumors, right? There's also 'elopement'!" You Ji complained.

"I just think it's more interesting to say that!" Alice said in a coquettish tone.

"As expected, you are the one who cares the most..." You Ji looked like a woman who was terrified.

At this moment, Rei Kawashima finally got a break, so she could interject and say, "Next up is Liu Maoxing, the Destroyer Dragon of the Gourmet Empire!"

Contrary to just now, the audience booed everywhere. Fortunately, because it was between the moon and the sky, everyone refrained from doing anything out of the ordinary, otherwise eggs and vegetables would have been flying all over the sky by now!

But Rei Kawashima's next words temporarily saved Liu Maoxing...

"Five judges are invited!"

To the surprise of the audience, the judges were invited to appear this time?

"Ah! That, that's not..."

"It's actually them?"

"As expected of Yuanyue Academy's gourmet festival, these people were invited in the semi-finals..."

"Hey, why didn't I make it to the semi-finals!"

"It's as if you have entered the main match. You only have twenty or so points in the preliminaries?"

Amidst the exclamation of the audience, the five judges who appeared on the field were the graduates of Yuanyue College who had seen them during the "staying and training"!

And they are all graduates who were once the top ten...

"I am Dojima Gin, the chief chef of Yuanyue Resort. This time, we will conduct a fair and strict assessment. Now... the cooking begins!"

The scene that Rei Kawashima couldn't hold back, became much quieter because of Gin Dojima's words. After all, they didn't dare to mess around in front of Gin Dojima, especially since the shadow of the previous "staying and training" has not disappeared!

As for the other four judges, they were also graduates who served as lecturers during the "residential training", and they were all top graduates who had been top ten!

The 2nd seat of the 80th session was Mikumiko, the 2nd seat of the 79th session was Mizuhara Fuyumi, the 2nd seat of the 88th session was Taki Kadozaki, the 1st seat of the 89th session was Kikuchienka... Dojima Gin led the Detachment Army to be the judges!

After the audience's "anti-star sentiment" calmed down a bit, they finally paid attention to the ingredients prepared by both parties.

Among them, Xingping Chuangzhen's ingredients are quite satisfactory in quantity, while Liu Maoxing's ingredients are a bit "excessive"!

It was pushed up with a load-bearing transfer cart. It was a big "bump" of unknown ingredients covered by a curtain, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it will serve five people...

At this time, Liu Maoxing pulled off the curtain, and saw on the transfer vehicle, there was an almost complete black Tajima cow!

"Tajima cow? Is it..."

"No way! Did you get the whole head?"

"It's too extravagant..."

"But isn't Mito Yumei a good relationship with him?"

"And that large equipment must have been lent to him by Miss Alice!"

"So... Damn it! This guy should really be burned to death!"

The audience seemed to realize something, and they all exclaimed, and at the same time, voices of envy, jealousy and hatred appeared again...

Even Yu Ji and the others asked in amazement: "Yu Mei, it's not really a whole Kobe cow, is it?"

"That's right, but Ah Xing's one doesn't contain the A5-level part..." Yu Mei said.

Indeed, although the black Tajima beef is generally whole, it is also roughly processed!

But the audience also guessed that this is not an ordinary black Tajima cow, but a Kobe cow that has passed the test!

As one of the most expensive beef in the world, Kobe beef itself belongs to black Tajima beef. However, only black Tajima beef that has been tested and its meat quality reaches A4 or A5 can be called Kobe beef.

But on the Kobe beef in front of me, all the A5-grade beef weighing about ten catties is gone...

At this time, Rei Kawashima had also introduced the ingredients of both parties. Liu Maoxing was indeed Kobe beef, but the most precious and delicious A5 beef was not with him... but with Chuangzhen!

That's right, a Kobe cow from the Mito Group provided the main ingredients for the two contestants respectively!

It's not that Mito Yumei is stingy, but Liu Maoxing himself said "it's not necessary", otherwise the real Quan Niu is not impossible.

Of course, in terms of value, although Chuangzhen’s A5 grade beef is more expensive in terms of unit weight, but a 400-500 kg Kobe beef should have about 200 kg of meat, and A5 grade beef is only 5 or 6 kg. It must be Liu Maoxing. Sides cost more...

But what everyone wonders is: what is the use of this?

After all, there were only five judges in the end. Could it be possible for them to eat a whole cow?

For the sake of competition, it is obvious that the A5 grade beef of about ten catties is more valuable!

"According to our first class in Yuanyue, it's beef dishes, right? Now we're going to decide the winner with beef dishes!" Chuangzhen hadn't seen Liu Maoxing's cooking before, because he said the practice cost was too high up...

"That's right, we were the ones who worked together!" Liu Maoxing smiled noncommittally.

But Chuangzhen rolled his eyes and said: "How do I remember that someone left me aside and went to strike up a conversation with a girl? In the end, I did it myself, okay?"

The audience off the court naturally took the opportunity to criticize Liu Maoxing's behavior even more, lamenting that Liu Maoxing's "nature" was exposed on the first day!

As for Tian Youhui, the protagonist who was "accused", she lowered her head in embarrassment at this time, while Yu Mei kept asking about the day's affairs by the side.

After a simple conversation between the two sides, they also started cooking...

Because Rei Kawashima also introduced the functions of the large-scale equipment on Liu Maoxing's side, so everyone guessed it at this time. Although they are all beef, the cooking methods of the two sides are very different. Chuangzhen can already see that " "Stew" beef, and since Liu Maoxing has prepared this equipment, it should be "roasted" the whole beef, but it is still in the stage of preparing the sauce...
