Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Sapporo Ramen Street, a food street without any star-rated restaurants, but some experienced gourmets will know that this does not mean that it is not popular here!

Because for some "old shops" here, the reason why they are not rated as a star is not because of "taste", but just as Erina said... capricious!

Almost all the ramen shops that Erina mentioned have two or three stars for their signature noodles, and there are very few ramen shops with more than ten seats!

That's right, ten seats, not ten tables!

And other star-rated restaurants, although there may not be many seats, many with only a dozen tables, but the decoration is absolutely impeccable, in line with the characteristics of the dishes provided, and there are many old restaurants here that are obviously delicious...

Most of them are the most common, small rooms, surrounded by the cooking table of the ramen shop owner, with two long wooden boards in the shape of an "L", and usually no more than ten chairs on them.

There is no particular decoration, some do not even have warm air in winter or air-conditioning in summer, and even the hygienic conditions are very mediocre!

Not to mention the service, it’s not a big deal for the master chef to chat with customers while cooking noodles, and many old-fashioned ramen shops are also capricious in their business hours.

A little better is that it opens at noon every day, and closes when sold out. The more excessive business hours are completely "following", which has also been criticized by many customers.

It is obviously impossible for such a store to obtain star certification...

But Erina also said at the same time that the master chefs of those old shops are by no means resting on their laurels. Many of them are old customers who invite her to taste once a year, which means that their ramen is changing and improving every year. of!

Apparently, those master craftsmen also put a lot of energy into improving the recipes outside of the short business hours. It is this kind of research spirit that has created today's Hui...well, not really. Very brilliant, after all, no more than ten guests can be received at the same time!

But there are obviously exceptions to this...

"Nichitori Ramen? Is that the one-star ramen shop?" Liu Maoxing immediately asked Erina for confirmation after hearing the conversation of passers-by.

"That's right, I didn't expect them to come too... By the way, the grandson of their master should be around 20 years old, and he should be the one who came!" Erina frowned.

"What is the nature of Ritori Ramen? Is it really a pure ramen shop?" Liu Maoxing asked in confusion.

"Well, it's that kind of L-shaped ramen shop, with a total of nine seats... I just heard that before the certification, they fixed the business hours and renovated the shop a little bit, although it's still crowded,... plus The master master was taught by his grandson to smile and keep silent for another month, and he finally made him quietly present the signature soy sauce ramen when the certified teacher came, and kept a stiff smile..." Erina said the anecdote she had heard .

"Huh? Is that okay? I've seen quite a few star-rated restaurants, even one-star restaurants..." Liu Maoxing really wanted to say, isn't this level not acceptable? Compared with other one-star restaurants, there is still a considerable gap, right?

"It is precisely because he is 'terrible' in all aspects, so we should not underestimate him!" Erina said affirmatively.

Liu Maoxing nodded clearly...

That is to say, "Nichitori Ramen" has made some changes before certification, but that level of "change" is still terrible compared to other one-star restaurants. "Excuse" only!

Of course, it was not because the certifiers were bribed, or that what bribed them was not material existence, but the signature soy sauce ramen at that time.

In other words, the only one-star ramen shop, its signature noodles are definitely not only one-star...

"But don't worry too much, right? Little Erina also said that the grandson must be under the age of 25, and all the broth must be made by himself... It is impossible to completely reproduce the deliciousness of his grandfather's signature noodles?" Yuki said.

Although Liu Maoxing is not as sensitive as Ruishan in this aspect, he is much stronger than the simple-minded Yuuji, and immediately said: "But now he is the representative of the only star-rated ramen shop in the island country... I guess what Erina said earlier , the representatives of those old shops in Ramen Street in Sapporo must be gearing up now, wanting to prove whose ramen is more delicious! Knowing this situation, he dared to come, he must have some confidence!"

Indeed, there must be many colleagues who are dissatisfied with "Nichitori Ramen", and in Sapporo Ramen Street, there should be ramen shops that are comparable to "Nichitori Ramen" in terms of ramen itself.

Liu Maoxing felt that if it was him, he would definitely feel that "Nitori Ramen" could pass the certification because he worked hard on things other than "Ramen". At this time, the heirs of Nitori Ramen will take part in the competition, and they should think this is a proof A good chance that your own ramen is more delicious than "Hitori Ramen".

That's why many people felt strange when they found out that the grandson actually participated in the competition...

If you are not sure at this time, wouldn't it be good to just stay in Tokyo honestly?

To actually come to Sapporo to participate in the competition, the nature of this is no different from the full-screen mockery, and then prepare to jump the tower to kill, if you are not careful, you will risk your head from a thousand miles away...

But looking at it from another angle, this also shows that this grandson really feels that he has a great advantage!

After listening to Erina's words, Liu Maoxing also seriously thought about the finals... As for the preliminaries, we have to wait for the "theme" to come out.

First of all, what Liu Maoxing wants to think about is not the recipe for the finals, but to decide how much he should do...

After all, this time it was only during the assessment, and I took part in the competition along the way. It was not like the last time in Hokkaido, where Alice threatened and lured me.

But in the end Liu Maoxing sighed, and muttered: "It seems that I really have to 'desperate'..."

Apparently Liu Maoxing has also thought about it. Now everyone is staring at him. I am afraid that not only the grandson of Ridori, but also his title of "Ninth Seat of Ten Outstanding" and "Champion of Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest" has probably been regarded as a stepping stone up!

And if the grades are really bad, maybe it will be used by the "Central Gourmet Organ" in public opinion.

The most important thing is that although Liu Maoxing has not fully accepted the world view of this world, things like "the dignity of a cook" are also subtly affecting him, so Liu Maoxing decided to do a big job in an instant!

Liu Maoxing, like other students, immediately went to buy a lot of high-quality flour, and other kinds of flour that can be made into "noodles", as well as some ingredients that are most likely to be used in ramen. At six o'clock in the evening, it was already in the Waiting in the cooking room...

As for the cooking room, it is naturally the cooking class in Sapporo that Yuanyue trained in. It is guaranteed that all the first-year students who refer to it will have their own cooking table.

At this time, less than 20 students from Liu Maoxing, Jixingliao, and Erina were in a classroom, and the other students were also in the same building. They had already made appointments with other students, at eight o'clock in the evening, midnight, and four o'clock in the morning When the time comes, Liu Maoxing and Erina will separately go to each classroom for three times, and then they can help taste it and give some opinions...

Because the assessment has turned into a competition, Liu Maoxing and Erina are also participants at this time, so there is no need to consider the issue of avoiding suspicion.

At six o'clock, everyone was staring at their mobile phones... Just like the "Hokkaido Seafood Noodle Contest", except for the radio and TV spots, the contestants would be notified of the topic by text message.

Sure enough, at six o'clock sharp, everyone's mobile phones rang a text message on time...

In the cooking room, after reading a line, or two words, on the text message, everyone instinctively looked at Mito Yumei!

"Little Roumei, it seems that we are in some trouble..." You Ji muttered with her mouth flattened.

And Yu Mei is obviously in a worse mood now... Seeing that she didn't even refute the title of "little meat charm", you can tell how bad her mood is!

There are only two words on the topic...vegetarian soup and vegetarian toppings!

The toppings, that is, the side dishes on the ramen, the vegetarian soup toppings, obviously mean that there should be no meat in the broth and side dishes...

Yu Mei suddenly felt that she was being targeted, and her whole body was not well.

Yu Ji, who is good at wild game, also has some headaches, but her condition is better, because she also has some accomplishments in mushroom cooking, and Yu Mei...although she also researches other ingredients, most of them are for the purpose of cooking I am studying how to make other ingredients act as a foil to the meat!

"Vegan ramen? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..." Soma stroked his chin as he recalled.

Liu Maoxing couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Don't deliberately hide your defeat, it's the dish that Mr. Shiroichiro used when he defeated you for the 491st time...what's it called, by the way, Yan Mo Ramen!"

Chuangzhen was depressed for a while when he heard the words, obviously he didn't remember it on purpose before!

Out of curiosity, Yu Mei asked Liu Maoxing again about this vegan ramen with a very domineering name...

Well, if you look at the name alone, it looks like ramen with a layer of fatty meat.

"Vegan and thick broth...vegetarian, thick..." Yu Mei muttered, seeming to have some ideas.

After thinking for a while, Liu Maoxing's eyes lit up, and he said to Erina: "At eight o'clock later, you are responsible for going to all the first-year students! I will go out first, and then at zero o'clock and four o'clock , I can just leave it to me, and if you are tired, you can go to rest at any time."

"Eh? Do you want to buy something? If you can't find it, you can contact the branch of Yuanyue Resort here." Erina asked doubtfully.

"It's okay, I haven't made up my mind yet... And at this time, I may have to look for the things I want to use for a while..." After Liu Maoxing finished speaking, he hurried out.

Chuangzhen on the side seemed to notice something, and muttered: "Is it 'things' instead of 'ingredients'?"
