Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Huh? Why is the 'cloister area' so deserted this year? I still want to take my daughter for a stroll here..."

A middle-aged man was frowning in front of the gate of Yuanyue Academy...

He is the president of a partner company in Yuanyue. Every year during the "School Festival", his whole family will be invited to come to Yuanyue Academy as guests to participate in the school festival.

Today, his whole family also came, and he also took his ten-year-old daughter by the hand.

Although the cuisine in the "Cloister District" has been mixed in previous years, it is undoubtedly the most popular among children...

And in the corridor area, although all the "snacks" are sold, there are also high-quality goods.

For example, in the original plot, the Aldini brothers, the Gaifang Research Institute led by Yu Mei, and the trio of Alice all set up booths in the corridor area.

Some guests who didn't know the "big news" that Liu Maoxing made couldn't help feeling puzzled, and even suspected the recent rumors of "infighting" at Yuanyue College. Could it be true? Even the "School Festival" has become depressed!

Fortunately, more guests have already known what is going to happen under Liu Maoxing's propaganda, so the news continues to spread among the guests...

"President Dejima, what are you looking for here? Most of the shops in the 'cloister area' may take a while to open!"

"After a while? Why?"

"You don't know yet? There is a student in the 'Central District' who has to accept the star rating of the 'Dragon Chef Alliance'. The rating starts on time at ten o'clock, and it's still too late..."

"Star rating? We can also watch?"

"Yes, it is said that other people are not restricted from watching."

"For the top five seats in this year's Top Ten, Si Yingshi passed the evaluation of 'One-Star Chef' in his second year, and the other four also passed the evaluation of 'One-Star Chef' in the first half of the year... This time Is it a second-year student? Ji Zhiguo Ningning or Yisehui?"

The "assessment" of a personal star chef is much simpler than the star rating of a restaurant, because it only needs to pass the personal cooking skills. When they were three years old, they also had the ability to pass the personal evaluation.

On the contrary, it is like Si Yingshi. If he opens a restaurant by himself after graduation, if he has no one to assist him, he will probably be restricted by things other than cooking, and he will not be able to qualify for a star-rated restaurant...

Now outside of the academy, the Ten Masters of Yuanyue are also well-known, especially the guests invited by Yuanyue are basically partners and people with certain status in the culinary world. Most of these people know the names of the Ten Masters of Yuanyue!

"neither……"

"Could it be that Si Yingshi wants to challenge the two-star rating?"

Obviously, among the students in the entire college, only the top four have the status of one-star chefs, and many people think that Si Yingshi may graduate and reach the level of two-star chefs!

This is already a very high level among the first seats in history.

Only the once-in-a-century Dojima Gin...

"No, it's said to be a first-year student!"

"One-year-old? Could it be the granddaughter of the commander-in-chief, Nakiri Erina who has the 'God's Tongue'? That's quite qualified!"

"No, no, I heard that it is a man named Liu Maoxing, who won the championship in the previous autumn trials!"

"The champion of the autumn trials? Speaking of which... I seem to have a little impression..."

Similar to this kind of dialogue, among the guests invited by Yuanyue Academy, there are similarities and minor differences.

Without the foreshadowing of the previous autumn trials, I am afraid that many guests would have thought it was "misinformation", or even thought it was a child's mischief.

After all, Totsuki Academy is an "academy". In the philosophy of Nakiri Senzaemon, there has been a principle that has been consciously or unconsciously implemented: except for the top ten, no one is famous!

Yuanyue's signature "Yuanyue Ten Heroes", whether it is previous or current, mentioning this name in the culinary world can make people look high, but for the students who are not among the ten heroes, Yuanyue Academy Don't want them to be too famous...

After all, they are all teenagers, and under the special environment of Yuanyue, some of the top ten candidates and even ordinary students can be called geniuses in other culinary schools.

In order to reduce their arrogance, students other than the top ten have been intentionally controlling their reputation outside the school...

As for the ten heroes? It is impossible to be easily disturbed by the outside world if it can reach the level of the top ten, and Yuanyue Academy also needs to use them as its own signboard!

On the contrary, Yuanyue will take the initiative to promote the ten outstanding, for this reason, Nakiri Senzaemon, even at the expense of decentralizing the power of the academy... That's why we have the current troubled area.

And now most of the guests, although they don't know who Liu Maoxing is, but with the title of champion of the "Autumn Trials", they immediately attracted the attention of most of the guests. At least what they are thinking now is... Maybe Yuanyue will have another one. What a genius!

Yuanyue has never been short of geniuses, and it can even be said that the past ten outstanding talents are all veritable geniuses.

The first seat of the ten masters is a genius among geniuses. As for Yin Dojima, it is not too much to say that he is a monster...

There are also some guests who have personally watched the autumn selection competition, and even served as judges, and sighed secretly in their hearts: Sure enough, this little guy is going to ride the wind!

At 9:30, Liu Maoxing's store "Flowing Water Garden" has already surrounded many customers. During this half an hour, other stores in the central area have taken advantage of a lot...

The entry time for the guests of the "School Festival" is nine o'clock, and Liu Maoxing has to prepare for the evaluation during this hour. If the business is still operating normally before the evaluation, it seems that he does not pay much attention to the evaluation team.

Therefore, in the past half an hour, the shops in the "Central District" have already taken the lead with the huge increase in customer flow!

The high platform area and the corridor area are too far away. Students who apply for stores there can only suspend their business if they want to see the star rating...

The academy did not stop this, because the current head coach is Nakiri Senzaemon, and Senzaemon is now the one who most hopes Liu Maoxing can win, so he naturally tried his best to help him build momentum.

As for the store in the "Central District", these students naturally saw the opportunity, opened on time, and waited until ten o'clock to calmly close the store and watch it...

So for half an hour, the students who chose the "Central District" store were very happy!

Except for Eizan Etsu also...

Although Ruishan is also known as one of the top ten due to the sudden increase in passenger flow, in fact, the turnover in this half hour ranks first.

But Ruishan knows that now it is equivalent to the "red envelope" sent by Liu Maoxing! Liu Maoxing himself will get more in the future!

Others were happy because of this "red envelope", but Rui Shan, who was going to compete with Liu Maoxing, felt that the bigger the red envelope, the more depressed he felt.

Of course, even Liu Maoxing and Erina can think of Erina as a "guest" to help Liu Maoxing increase his popularity. Could it be that Ruishan has less scheming than them?

Although in terms of rules, the number of helpers in the store is limited, but in other respects, there are countless channels that are ready to create momentum for Ruishan...

However, these channels are still useless now, because everyone's attention is now focused on Liu Maoxing's "star rating", and now his tricks are directly drowned out.

Ruishan's three "helpers" are three third-year students, Ogata Shiro, Ogata Qiuwu, and Ogata Tsuneo.

Looking at their names and their indistinguishable facial features, one can tell that the three of them are brothers.

Although the culinary skills of the three of them are still far behind those of the top ten, they are all within the category of candidates for the top ten!

More importantly, the three Ogata brothers cooperate well, and each has their own strengths and complements each other. Ruishan estimates that when the three of them graduate, even if each of the three of them does not have the cooking skills of a star chef, they will It is very likely that in a short period of time, the restaurant operated by Ling will have the honor of a star restaurant!

Because the star rating of a restaurant is different from the star rating of an individual, it does not limit whether the dishes are made by several people...

"Eisan, is the situation not good?" Ogata Shiro asked with a frown.

"It's not that bad, as long as the kid's review is over, the promotional plan I prepared before will also be effective... Which of the guests invited by the academy will really put the 'one-star chef' in their eyes? It's just Because that kid is young and everyone is allowed to watch, so there is something to watch!" Rui Shan is still able to analyze rationally.

"Well, then... let's start working hard when the assessment is over!"

At this moment, the onlookers around the "Flowing Water Garden" consciously gave way, and saw five gourmets from the Dragon Chef Alliance coming over, greeted by the commander in person.

In fact, as the commander-in-chief, there is no need to go to the door to meet the review team in person, but in order to create momentum for Liu Maoxing, Senzaemon decided to condescend once.

But Nakiri Senzaemon's face doesn't seem to be pretty?

Liu Maoxing naturally knew why...

But among the five members of the Dragon Chef Alliance, the leader is surnamed "Liu" and named "Liu Kuishan". He also looks to be in his sixties or seventies. Counting down the generations, they are still the grandfathers of the "stomach" generation he had seen back then, and Liu Maoyuan's great-grandfather...

Although Liu Maoxing didn't know why, he also found that Yuanyue and Liu's family seemed to be at odds, and now Liu Kuishan's old face had the exact opposite expression of Nakiri Senzaemon, smiling like a daisy...

At the same time, including the commander-in-chief Senzaemon, many people who knew Liu Kuishan looked at him suspiciously, and some even looked at Liu Maoxing in shock!

Because Liu Kuishan is a famous three-star certified teacher in the Dragon Chef Alliance!

And the certification of a one-star chef should only require the presence of a two-star certified chef...

Of course, to be precise, it is "a certified teacher with two stars or above", that is to say, there are two possibilities, one is that Liu Maoxing is very favored by the Dragon Chef Alliance, and the other is that after Liu Maoxing passed the one-star certification...maybe still Do something!
