Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Huh? The cook over there is so young...is he twenty years old?"

"Indeed, at such a young age, you can actually make it to the final interview... Is it Yuanyue's fresh graduate?"

"At this age, even if his cooking skills are slightly inferior, considering his potential, there is a high probability that he will be hired, right?"

"That's right, even if you don't get hired this time, after three to five years of hard work, you can still be your own..."

Sure enough, Liu Maoxing's outstanding age attracted many people's ideas, and many people were envious of Liu Maoxing's youth.

Among the more than 30 people who were assessed, most of them were young and middle-aged cooks in their thirties.

"The applicants for this assessment are still a bit too old..." Said a chef who was sitting with Dojima Gin in the judging panel.

After all, the system of Yuanyue Resort is very suitable for cooks to hone their skills. Although it is not an academy, it also tends to train on-the-job cooks.

Therefore, for many cooks who are considered excellent in the culinary world as a whole, but still have a certain gap compared with the real top elites, Yuanyue Resort is definitely a good place. Under the cultivation of Yuanyue Resort, maybe they can catch up with those top elites!

Therefore, these chefs hope that some young people with potential can join the job...

"Huh? Wait... That number thirty-five is too young, right?" Another chef said suspiciously.

Dojima Gin had only told Hiromi about Liu Maoxing before, and there was another judge, Tanaka, who recognized Liu Maoxing, so he had a vague guess...

Half a year ago, Tanaka was used by Ruishan once because of his face, and now he is actually among the judges of the "recruitment assessment" selected by Dojima Yin. Or is there another arrangement.

Although he "pit" Liu Maoxing once last time without fully knowing the facts, Tanaka's original intention is still very optimistic about Liu Maoxing.

Dojima Yin didn't hide it intentionally, and explained: "He is a student of the 92nd class of Yuanyue. He is now a first-year student and is undergoing 'field training', that is, this week, he will be doing an internship at the Yuanyue Hotel...Of course, If he fails the assessment, you don't have to worry about anything."

But in Dojima's mind, he obviously didn't think that Liu Maoxing would fail the recruitment assessment...

"Huh? Why is the 'Field Training' set here?" One of the chefs was puzzled.

Although Yuanyue Resort is also a subsidiary of Yuanyue, it is not a place for "children" to mess around, and there is no such precedent in the past...

Tanaka guessed and said: "It should be the head chef Dojima who took the initiative to apply, right? Liu Maoxing... is indeed a student with great potential!"

The chef who was puzzled before, now his eyes brightened and said: "Mr. Dojima wants to recruit him to Yuanyue Resort?"

"Talking about special recruits as a first-year student...is it too early?"

Dojima Gin smiled slightly and said, "Chef Henggou didn't think so much, just to try his potential first!"

"Mr. Dojima is still so willful..." Henggou said helplessly.

Apart from Ichiro Tanaka and Hiromi Seto, the head chef, the other two judges, Chef Yokomizo Satoru and Li Yuan, were obviously older.

Among them, Li Yuan knew that he was Chinese just by his name. After hearing Liu Maoxing’s name, he became close to him naturally. At this time, he was worried that Liu Maoxing’s confidence would be hit.

Both of them are obviously veteran chefs of the resort, otherwise, they would not be entrusted with heavy responsibilities by Dojima Yin. From the two people's address to Dojima Yin, it can be seen that they are both called "Mr. Dojima", not "Mr. Dojima". Call him "Chef Dojima" like Ichiro Tanaka.

"But in fact, whether it's good to come to the resort or go to other institutions in Yuanyue, it may not be a good thing." Dojima Silver said pointedly.

Although many graduates from Yuanyue College are regarded as outstanding talents in the whole cooking, but among the Yuanyue graduates, there are not outstanding cooks. Some would rather delay or even give up inheriting the property at home, and will come to Yuanyue The establishment of the resort is to be able to continue to improve.

But for really top graduates, especially the top ten, such as Shinomiya Kojiro, Mizuhara Fuyumi, and even Kikuchi Sonoka and Tsunozaki Taki who graduated not long ago, it’s nothing to get a job at Totsuki Resort after graduation. Promising performance!

The real first-class graduates pursue to own their own restaurant, like Kojiro Shinomiya, let their name appear in various cooking magazines, instead of working for Totsuki Academy...

Unless it is like Dojima Gin and Hiromi Seto, who belong to the special recruits of Yuanyue Resort, and will focus on training them in the future, as the backbone of Yuanyue, they will be somewhat attractive to them.

For example, when Shinomiya Kojiro graduated, Totsuki's various departments wanted to recruit him...because Shinomiya was the first among the top ten, and most importantly, his family didn't have any cooking industry for him to inherit. , almost a shrunken version of Dojima Yin, so many people were optimistic about him at the beginning.

However, Sigong was also arrogant back then, and rejected Yuanyue's special offer, resolutely went to France alone, and ran his own restaurant in Paris, where there are many heroes in the culinary world!

His choice can't be said to be right or wrong. If he accepts Yuanyue's special move, he may not have the chance to win the "Medal of Prosper", and there will be one less "magician of vegetable cuisine" in the Paris culinary world...

But at the same time, if Sigong chooses to join Yuanyue, his current culinary skills are likely to be higher than now. With Yuanyue's training system, he will not be hesitant like in recent years.

Of course, with more training, there will be more experience. Although it is temporarily blocked, this experience may become a further nutrient for the future!

Dojima Gin thought of the determined Kojiro Shinomiya, who once ridiculed him for joining the Totsuki Resort for "retirement", and he had already let go of it at this time, but he couldn't help but smile lightly, and thought to himself: Maybe that brat is right!

Liu Maoxing didn't know the people on the judging table, but in "gossip", he took out the selected ingredients and kitchen utensils step by step in advance, and put them in a convenient place on the cooking table...

Naturally, there are also people who saw the scene where Liu Maoxing and Bosi strike up a conversation before, and now they can't wait to expose Liu Maoxing's "old bottom" in a low voice!

"Hey, you don't know about this, but they have connections! Don't say next time, this time I will definitely be admitted!"

"Acquaintance? No way? Mr. Dojima sits in the town himself, and there are still people who dare to pretend to be public servants?"

"I saw it with my own eyes! He was talking to the deputy chief chef before..." Someone else testified convincingly.

After all, the two-hour time limit is still plenty for some dishes that don't waste time, and the cooking table is still far away from the judging table, so some cooks started talking in low voices.

There are also people who disdain this statement: "What does speaking mean? I also greeted Mr. Seto, and I am still the same student as him! What? I also went through the back door?"

"Hehe, what do you, a high-achieving student from Yuanyue think, how did he make it to the final round when he was only in his teens? And has anyone seen him in the previous rounds of selection? Could it be that he happened to be in that year?" The team was wiped out during the preliminaries and he was the only one left, right?"

The cook who was in the same class as Hiromi hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to refute.

Especially the sentence "Yuanyue's top student" made him feel extremely harsh!

He and Hiromi were indeed in the same class, but they only enrolled in the same class, and they didn't say that they graduated...

With Yuanyue's high elimination rate, many of the expelled students are actually talented. In addition, he thought that after being expelled, he devoted himself to cooking, visited famous teachers everywhere, and asked himself that he was not much worse than ordinary graduates of the same class. That's why I came to interview Yuanyue Resort.

Firstly, with his talent, he can be better promoted in Yuanyue Resort, and secondly, it is to make up for some regrets of not being able to graduate from Yuanyue College.

With Liu Maoxing's hearing ability, he naturally heard all these discussions, but he didn't care...

After all, although all these people in the assessment hall are not young at this time, and they all come here with the aura of "passing many pre-selections", in fact, let alone compared with Liu Maoxing, a huge part of them are even compared to Liu Maoxing. , Alice's level is not as good as!

The few with the best culinary skills are probably similar to Mito Yumei and Misaku Subaru who have been strengthened because of Liu Maoxing's arrival, but because they are older after all, a few of them have mastered the "must-kill cuisine", and they can barely At the level of a third class chef at a resort...

And those who are really capable are also too lazy to gossip about Liu Maoxing's "back door" with others!

At this moment, Liu Maoxing intuitively realized that the level of Yuanyue Academy is still very high, especially the top students, outside of the academy, they are enough to make a big splash.

Liu Maoxing was unwilling to give in to reason with them, but he didn't think it would make them continue to slander him behind his back for fun...

After Liu Maoxing visited the ingredients, he stood in front of the cooking counter and took a few deep breaths.

This is a habit developed at SHINO'S Tokyo in Shinomiya. One minute before the official start of work, I calm down my mind first, and then devote myself to cooking better.

Liu Maoxing just took a deep breath, if it were Gao Wei, he would like to touch his kitchen knife at this time, and Liu Shi would take advantage of this time to pray...

"Phew, put on airs! You're not too nervous, are you?"

After all, Liu Maoxing's age and his suspected background of "going through the back door" have become black spots in the eyes of many people, and some people are still chattering.

But at the next moment, nearly one-third of the cooks who applied for the job froze, and looked in the direction of Liu Maoxing in disbelief, while the remaining two-thirds of the cooks also felt that Liu Maoxing was holding a kitchen knife. The momentum has completely changed!

They couldn't help but think of some veteran chefs they had seen...

That's right, Liu Maoxing used the power of "Food Control". Among the eleven cooks who felt more obvious, three of them got started with "Food Sense", and the other eight relied on "Master Cuisine". Can temporarily exert the power of "sense of food"...

As for the other 20 people, they could vaguely feel the change in the atmosphere, and the most surprised ones were the judges! Because they also have the "Food Control" and understand what it means!
