Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Just when Zhong Mozu wanted to stop it, Yu Mei had already bought chicken nuggets from other customers at twice the price...

"Okay, let's go back to 'Xingping' first, and slowly decipher her fried chicken nuggets! It's really a complicated sauce...I estimate that I will have to eat at least three more pieces to decipher the deepest hidden taste!" Liu Maoxing Said provocatively.

"You, you!" Zhongmozu opened his eyes and stared at Liu Maoxing and his party.

"Don't worry, we don't bother to use your formula! We will invite you to try it after we develop something 'more' delicious. We can eat two pieces of it! And some cheapskates It's different." Liu Maoxing said, and had already left with the people.

After they left, Zhong Mozu called the consultant she had hired, "Etsuya Ruishan" angrily and anxiously, and another identity of Ruishan was the ninth member of the Yuanyue Academy's Ten Outstanding Council. seat...

At this time, Chuangzhen and the others didn’t know that Shijie was also involved in this incident, and although Liu Maoxing knew something about it, he was not worried. This kind of business-style duel that required mass production was completely different from “Food Halberd”. Ruishan can't directly participate in it, and can only provide some support in business skills!

After returning to "Xingping", Liu Maoxing has deciphered all the ingredients used in the chicken nugget sauce, listing a total of forty-two kinds...

"Great! This way we can at least make the same fried chicken as each other!" Tomita said excitedly.

"Impossible." Chuangzhen said.

"Huh? Why?"

Liu Maoxing rolled his eyes: "Are you going to buy so many ingredients and use them to make a small shop's worth of fried chicken? Whether it's labor costs or material costs, it's too uneconomical!"

"Huh? Then how did the 'Mozu House' do it?" Tomita asked doubtfully.

"It's different. There must be more than 100 branches of 'Mozu House'. They must have their own sauce production workshops. They process all the small proportions of seasonings and spices into a fixed proportion of pickling powder, and then transport them to various stores. , You only need to simply add water according to the ratio, and then you can make a marinade sauce... This is the advantage of industrial production!" Liu Maoxing said.

Indeed, it is obviously unrealistic to open a fried chicken restaurant with such a complicated sauce!

Chuangzhen also said: "And what's the point of using the same thing as the opponent? I've already said it, you must defeat the opponent!"

Yu Mei continued to fill in the knife: "And the other party's fried chicken is obviously suitable for take-out, and because in the station store, customers at nearby stations don't mind taking two more stops and getting off once more to buy, even if it is the same The product won't be popular on Sumire Avenue."

Tomita has been hit one after another, and has been traumatized again to the OTZ state where he can't move...

"Okay! After that, we have to make fried chicken that is better than the other party!" Chuangzhen decided.

Yu Mei interjected: "It doesn't have to be fried chicken, how about my A5 grade beef? If it is made into quick steak, it will definitely be very popular, right?"

Just when Chuangzhen thought it was a good idea, Liu Maoxing attacked: "Stop making trouble, this is not a 'food halberd' that only needs to make delicious dishes, you have to consider the cost!"

"Cost?" Yu Mei was puzzled.

"That's right, it's just cooked food to take away. No matter how delicious it is, it's useless to buy it too expensive, because it's not the same thing anymore! Just like your three-flavored steak, it's not suitable for sale on the shopping street... …The price of fried chicken nuggets at 'Baiwei Bird House' is a piece of chicken nuggets of about 30g. Depending on the set meal and taste, the price ranges from 100 to 120 yen, ranging from five yuan to ten yuan in a box.

This price is just right. Proposals that exceed 50% are basically uncompetitive and can be rejected directly. If it is replaced with A5 beef, even if the Mito Group does not make money, the cost of the main material alone will be ten times higher! "Liu Maoxing said.

Tomita whispered: "Yes, that's true. I tried to launch high-quality wagyu bento before, but I almost lost my life. At that time, I had to eat more than ten servings by myself every night..."

"Please wipe off your drool...how do you feel that you did it on purpose?" Liu Maoxing said speechlessly.

Yu Mei held the calculator and calculated for a long time, but she could only give up the idea of ​​winning with the best beef.

"Sure enough, we still have to find a way on the 'Fried Chicken Nuggets'!" Chuangzhen came back again.

Liu Maoxing added: "There are still many things to pay attention to. The so-called 'cost' is not only the cost of materials, but also the cost of time and labor. It must be taken into consideration!"

"Eh? Time? Manpower?"

"That's right. In the final analysis, it's take-out deli food that we want to compete for sales. If it's too slow to make, it won't work. As for manpower... simple labor can be hired as long as there is a profit, but we only have five days... No, we can't wait. There is a four-and-a-half-day holiday, and I will be going back later! It is necessary to create a dish that is simple and can be handled by ordinary people after knowing the method, otherwise it is meaningless." Liu Maoxing said.

Indeed, although the fried chicken nuggets of "Baiwei Bird House" are delicious and easy to carry, you can eat them as soon as you heat them up at home. The real rating is only "intermediate five-star".

It doesn't look high, but it is already a top-notch existence in the middle and low-end cooked food!

You must know that in the class of the famous and strict teacher Chapelle, the current first-year students only need "intermediate four-star" cooking to get an A.

For most of Yuanyue's students, this is very difficult, because French cuisine itself is complex and extremely skillful.

But fast food does not need it. A person with "instant noodle level" cooking skills only needs a few days of training and masters the use of factory-line marinating machines and fryers to be able to cook, or make "intermediate five-star" Mozu House fried chicken nuggets, this is the advantage of the other party!

"That is to say, the production process must follow the production process of marinating and frying, and the marinating sauce should not be too complicated, and the frying should not be too skillful. It is best to throw it into a timed fryer After that, it's best to cook it on time...it's too complicated, this guy will definitely not be able to learn it!" Liu Maoxing pointed to Tomita.

The chairman burst into tears again...

"Then let's do it first! Use these main condiments first, and try to imitate the other party's fried chicken!" Chuangzhen pointed to the top few condiments listed by Liu Maoxing.

The normal opponent’s chicken should have been marinated in the sauce for about 12 hours, but Chuangzhen used the method of patting to reduce the marinating time. After two hours, the first test product was completed... …

But after everyone tried it, even Kurase and Tomita could feel that it was not as good as "Mozu House".

Chuangzhen looked at Tomita and Kurase's hesitant expressions, and sighed: "Sure enough, even if ordinary people can't taste those condiments like Ah Xing, they will still feel 'delicious' and 'not so delicious' The gap between them!"

Busy until dusk, three batches of test products have been completed, but the results are still not satisfactory.

Outside the door, you can see that there are still high school students passing by in the shopping street after participating in club activities, walking in groups. It seems that there should be a school nearby...

"Chuangzhen, let's not worry about fried chicken nuggets. After all, the shopping street is different from the ekinaka. There are so many students passing by here, why not try something more unique?" Liu Maoxing suggested.

"It's more distinctive... the shopping street... that's right! That's right, unlike the ekinaka, the environment of the shopping street is more suitable for students and office workers who pass by after school or after get off work. They can eat snacks on the road while walking!" Chuangzhen's eyes brightened.

"Then the goal is to switch to snacks that can be eaten while walking? How about buns?" Yu Mei suggested.

It can be seen that Yu Mei has studied Chinese cuisine recently. From the previous "fish-flavored shredded pork", Liu Maoxing even doubts whether he will eat pork stewed vermicelli one day...

But just like eating "fish-flavored shredded pork" for breakfast is awkward, making buns now is not suitable for such occasions.

At least Liu Maoxing, Chuangzhen, and Kurase, one of the "ordinary people", felt that they would not be interested in buns at this time.

"No one wants to eat two steamed buns for snacks on the way home from school or get off work, right? And steamed stuffed buns don't meet the 'time cost' problem mentioned at the beginning..." Liu Maoxing shook his head.

"For students, the visible fried meat is the most attractive!" Tomita reminded.

Chuangzhen also said: "That's right, and since the main target is students and office workers, there is no need to use chicken breast meat. To maximize the charm of frying, it is necessary to use fat-rich drumstick meat!"

After that, Chuangzhen tried some fried chicken drumsticks with toothpicks, which were convenient to eat while walking, but the effect was not good...

"A Xing? How do you feel?"

"Sure enough, it's still worse. The taste of fried chicken thigh meat should be better than that of chicken breast meat, but in order to meet the theme of eating while walking, the pieces of meat are too small to give people a thick taste... Cang What do you think?" Liu Maoxing asked Kurase who best reflected the taste of ordinary people.

"I also feel that in terms of satisfaction, it is worse than 'Mozuya'...Of course! It's not that Soshin's fried chicken is not delicious! I can eat it all by myself!" Kurase said hurriedly.

In terms of the plot, Liu Maoxing only vaguely remembered that it seemed that Chuangzhen used some kind of Vietnamese cooking technique like hand-cooked pancakes at this time, but the details were not clear.

Originally, Liu Maoxing thought that it would be enough to guide Chuangzhen’s ideas, but now it seems that it is not a simple matter to let Chuangzhen shine, and it may even be because of his changes in the "cause and effect line". Maybe it will appear in that kind of cuisine again!

Just now when he saw the students passing by, a ray of light flashed in Liu Maoxing's mind, but he didn't rush to catch it.

But until the next day, when everyone hadn't figured out a solution, Liu Maoxing saw that Chuangzhen was not so reliable now, so he couldn't help but recalled his flashing "creative idea"...
