Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Huh? Looking for me again?"

Liu Maoxing, who was looking at the records of the ancestors of the Liu family on "Yuan Cuisine" in the room, looked inexplicably at Liu Maoyuan who walked in and explained to himself that the elders of the Tian clan wanted to see him again.

Originally, Liu Maoxing thought that there was nothing left for him...

"What's wrong? Is there any inconvenience?" Liu Maoyuan wondered.

"It's nothing, I originally wanted to go to Jiuzhaigou in two days... I have a few appointments for 'annual leave' and the rest of my friends!"

"Can you stop being so careless..."

"Why did you finish your annual leave so early?"

Liu Maoyuan glared at him, and immediately said, "Ten o'clock tomorrow, don't be too late this time!"

Although Liu Maoxing complained, he still went on time the next morning...

It was still the same meeting room, but the eight "old artists" were all smiling at this moment. This weird scene almost made Liu Maoxing take back the legs that had stepped in...

"Ah Xing, are you here? It's quite early this time, come in quickly!" Liu Kuishan smiled kindly.

"Everyone... haven't you eaten yet?" Liu Maoxing asked bluntly.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, we came to you today because we want to ask you something!" said the elder of the first clan.

Liu Maoxing thought to himself: Sure enough! I thought this atmosphere must be a good thing!

"This... I'm not very knowledgeable, there's nothing I can do to help the Liu family, right?"

"Don't rush to refuse, it shouldn't be a big deal to you...Have you heard of 'Legendary Kitchenware'?" The old man of the first family also forced a polite smile on his face.

But Liu Maoxing turned pale with shock when he heard the words!

The expressions of the elders of the first family, and the sentence patterns they uttered, sound a bit like "Have you heard of 'beep...' Lee"?

Is it to sell yourself a "legendary kitchen utensils"?

Could it be that the Liu family has degenerated to the point where they have to make money by selling fake and legendary kitchen utensils? But I have no money!

"Have you heard of it?" Seeing Liu Maoxing's reaction, the elder of the First Clan was surprised.

Ordinarily, many top chefs have only vaguely heard about the "legendary kitchen utensils".

But Liu Maoxing reacted quickly, and immediately said: "I have a roommate in the Yuanyue student. He has always liked to study ancient cooking documents, and found some things about 'legendary kitchen utensils'... But do those really exist? It is said that Can you live forever if you collect all eight pieces?"

Hearing Liu Maoxing's words, the elders of the clan understood in their hearts. It would not be surprising if they found clues in ancient documents. After all, the "legendary kitchen utensils" were said to be the ancient famous chef Xu Xun from seven thousand years ago. Spirit is made of meteorites...

Although the statement of seven thousand years is exaggerated no matter how you look at it, it is true that it is a long time ago. It is normal for there to be records in ancient books, especially if it is related to the existence of "immortality", which ancient emperors dreamed of. Together, you will be loved by some wild history!

However, in these folklore, there are not one hundred but eighty dishes or ingredients that can "immortality"...

"It does exist! And every kind of 'legendary kitchen utensils' does have unexplainable abilities, but the word 'immortality' should be just a misinformation. The ancestors of our Liu family collected eight kinds more than a hundred years ago. 'Legendary kitchen utensils'. However, due to some reasons, six of them were lost, and only our Liu family and the Lan family of the Lan Group each kept one..." said the old Youyou of the first family.

Liu Maoxing said suspiciously: "Then why are you telling me these things?"

Is it the well-loved plot of "I have an artifact and can't use it, so I want to ask Long Aotian for help"? Liu Maoxing began to make up his mind.

"Ahem, it's like this...Actually, after our ancestors left a hundred years ago, a group of people finally broke away because of growing differences with the master's family in terms of cooking philosophy!

At that time, the leader of that clan was also favored by the ancestors, so when he rebelled against the Liu family, he invited several other families who were friends with my Liu family, as well as the elders of the mother clan Zhao It is a testimony that both of them have the qualifications to preserve the 'legendary kitchen utensils' left by their ancestors.

And what determines this qualification is that every ten years, the two sides will follow the example of the ancestors and the famous chef Qixing Dao Ren in the "God's Cuisine Showdown", and the winner can keep the "Eternal Lin Dao" for ten years..."

Liu Maoxing naturally understands that the elders of the first clan can only listen to half of what they say!

What is "leaving" the family, to put it bluntly, isn't it a split? And it sounds like this "separate family" is the reformer. If you count it like this, it has already proved that the "main family" is short-sighted...

"That is to say... the 'Yong Lin Dao' is splitting now? But why haven't I heard of it, there is another Liu family?" Liu Maoxing asked doubtfully.

"Ahem, it's like this... Originally, they were still named 'Liu' when they were separated, but fifty years ago, they won us for the first time and took away the ownership of 'Yong Lin Dao', ...I changed it to this as my surname!" The elder of the first clan said vaguely.

The surname "Yong Lin Dao"? What a long last name! No... the surname should be "Dao", right? It seems that among the famous chefs of Chinese cuisine, there is a surname "Dao".

Liu Maoxing made up his mind.

Seeing that Liu Maoxing didn't ask further questions, the elders of the clan breathed a sigh of relief, and said to themselves: We didn't fool you! Tell you the truth, just as you tell us!

"Then how many times have the two sides won or lost in the past fifty years?" Liu Maoxing asked.

"This...how should I put it...Because Peter is cultivating the ability of the younger generation, so...the ones who will conduct the 'God's Cooking Showdown' must be young people under the age of 20! And our training method is based on a solid foundation. Lord, so..."

Well, Liu Maoxing understood this time, which means that he had the upper hand in the first fifty years, and was beaten to the ground in the previous forty years.

It is not surprising that this is the case. After all, with the development of the "Great Fusion of Cuisines of the World", the innovation of the cuisine industry is getting faster and faster, so the advantages of the innovative faction will become greater and greater!

At the beginning, the head of the Liu family had an advantage in their heritage and suppressed the separation for forty years. However, with the development of the culinary world, the situation was obviously reversed.

Perhaps the gap in the number of top chefs will be smaller, but the qualification for the duel is set at "under the age of 20", so it's strange not to be pushed to the ground to fight!

It is estimated that the revolutionary faction of the head of the Liu family was also tortured for forty years...

And if there is no accident, the fiftieth year has been abused in the same way, and the abuse has been worse than the previous one!

"However, I have seen Liu Maoyuan's cooking skills. If she came to represent the Liu family, she should..."

Halfway through Liu Maoxing’s suggestion, he was interrupted by Liu Kuishan: “No, Subaru Court is still a little short, so we want to invite you to represent the Liu family to participate in this ‘Shenqian Cuisine Showdown’! Just after the Spring Festival, there is still one month left time."

"What? Me? This...but I'm not a member of the Liu family, so it's impossible for the other party not to know about this, right?" Liu Maoxing said suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter, what we are comparing is the ability to train younger generations! The branch family has always been underpopulated, so many times before it was represented by the other party's students." The elder of the first clan said.

Liu Maoxing continued to look at him...

Do you also know that Peter is "cultivating the ability of the younger generation"? It's only been a week since I entered Liu's house, okay? I'm just here as a guest, okay? If I win the opponent, does it mean that your training ability is strong? What about your morals?

Several clan elders were also embarrassed by Liu Maoxing's look, and in the end, because Liu Kuishan, who often went out, was the thickest-skinned, he said: "We considered that you have received the sympathy between the ancestors and heaven, and comprehended the recipes and special skills of the ancestors... So it is not an exaggeration to ask you to represent the Liu family! Of course, in the next month, we will also open up all resources to you, so that you can go further in cooking!"

It sounds very reasonable, but even if you don't mention the "system" thing... Isn't your ancestor also the ancestor of the separated family? How can it mean that you are not overdoing it?

This is also the reason why Liu Kuishan and other clan elders agreed that Liu Maoxing must improve even a little bit within this month!

Otherwise it will be embarrassing...

It's embarrassing even now, but at least there is an excuse, isn't it?

"If you fight on behalf of the Liu family and win, we can allow you to use the 'Eternal Lin Knife'! Of course, the premise is that you can use it, and you can't take it out of the range of the ancestral house..." The elder of the first family promised road.

Liu Maoxing's eyes lit up when he heard the words. Although he still despised them a little, the Liu family had already offered them a lot of benefits, especially the right to use the "Yonglin Sword"... So in the end Liu Maoxing agreed!

After all, the allure of "legendary kitchen utensils" is not so great for any cook...

And this is what the elders of the Liu family discussed before. Rather than saying that this is the price paid, it is better to let Liu Maoxing, the "person suspected of prophecy", get in touch with the "legendary kitchen utensils" before the "disaster" comes. .

Although I can't tell Liu Maoxing directly about the prophecy, but since the "disaster" started from the "legendary kitchen utensils", there is definitely nothing wrong with letting Liu Maoxing get in touch first...

Of course, Liu Maoxing still has integrity, at least he mentioned it to the clan elders, and then he must gradually lean towards the reformers. After all, he was pinned to the ground and beaten for forty years, and he still found helpers in the fiftieth year. How stupid to know how to work around!

The elders of the clan have also agreed to this, and to the surprise of the other elders, the elder of the first clan finally said: "Actually, we are already discussing this matter... Yes, we can't go on like this, wait until At the beginning of the year, we will find a way to let the child from Subaruyuan be transferred to the third grade of Yuanyue!"

No matter whether it is the elders of other clans or Liu Maoxing, they never thought that the elders of the first clan would say that...

And this also shows that the elders of the first clan are definitely not just talking and perfunctory, but really want to start reforming!
