Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"This, this is... Galaxy?"

Under the irradiance of the searchlight, the five bowls looked like galaxies of light flickering in the dark surface, and the audience off the field also saw this scene from the close-up shots on the rebroadcast screen!

Oizumi Kakinosuke, who was full of curiosity, was the first one who couldn't help it. He immediately picked up the chopsticks, said "I'm starting", and then picked up a strand from the shiny black ramen...

It can be clearly seen that not only the soup is the problem, but the noodles themselves are also black in color, but there are some crystal powders in the soup!

"The squid ink that was taken out at the beginning is obviously added to the soup, and these shiny things are...pearl powder, right?" Oizumi Kakinosuke said.

That's right, the "Xinghe Noodles" made by Liu Maoxing is based on the Yinhe Noodles of the first period in China, and the two ingredients that "Xinghe Noodles" inherit from "Galaxy Noodles" are ink and pearl powder. !

When Yuji saw the pearl powder, she thought Liu Maoxing was going to make a beauty mask...

The soup base blended with ink, together with the pearl powder, is like the night sky and shining stars.

During the period in China, "Liu Maoxing" used this galactic plane to successfully awaken the love that was trapped in the dust of time, making a pair of lovers finally get married...

Now, Liu Maoxing has added a lot of changes on the basis of "Galaxy Noodles". First of all, the spices in the ink soup base are no longer simply seasoned with garlic, onion and other spices, but light chicken. Top soup as a soup base, and add ink and other spices for seasoning before use...

The second is in the face!

Unlike the "Yinhe Noodles" that use ordinary noodles, what Liu Maoxing uses is not wheat flour, but fern root starch that is extracted by mashing, washing, and drying in a dryer, and mixed with buckwheat flour. result.

The fern root powder itself is dark green and black, and the buckwheat flour is gray black. The noodle itself is "black but not autumn" after the two are mixed. After being placed in the ink soup base, it is completely black!

The moment the five judges sucked a wisp of "black face" into their mouths, they suddenly felt their hearts being pinched by something...

"It's... a heartbeat! I feel a heartbeat!"

"No, it's not so much the heartbeat as the rhythm of life..."

"This feeling is... that's right! It's roe! Those top Beluga roe, wrapped in ramen noodles!"

"In the pitch-black soup base, there are not only pearl powders shining like stars, but also every caviar that 'explodes' in the mouth, as if it contains vitality!"

"It's like the joy of a lonely traveler in the universe, seeing the bright stars and discovering life in them..."

"That's right! It's 'joy'! In the darkness, encounter the light and the joy of life!"

The five judges couldn't help but stood up with their eyes closed, arms slightly outstretched, as if they were explorers of the universe, walking alone in the dark, until they discovered starlight and other lives...

A feeling of "joy" sprouted in the hearts of the five judges involuntarily!

And "Ling'er", the cooking heart in Erina's heart, also opened his eyes at this time and said: "So, he used the 'sun' cooking heart to attract the source of the sun to roast pearl powder and roast bracken. The moisture in it makes it full of the power of the 'sun' kitchen heart...

There are two types of starlight, one is the light that refracts the 'sun', and the other is the same kind of light as the 'sun', and it is precisely because it contains the will of the 'sun', so although it is weak, it will also make people instinctively associate To the stars, and also has a warming effect!

And to extract the starch from the bracken root, the bracken itself needs to be dried first, which also gave him the opportunity to introduce the 'sun'. "

At this time, Erina whispered: "Sure enough, you still bypassed the restrictions of the topic?"

It seems that there is already a way for Erina and Linger to communicate with each other, which is the same as what Liu Maoxing guessed after seeing Erina made "Original Cuisine"...

"Do you think he can beat me?" Erina asked again in a low voice.

"I don't know, after all, I can't taste it myself now...or you can taste it and share it with me later. By the way, try to communicate with me with your 'heart voice' later, otherwise someone might overhear !” Linger said.

"If I can taste it, I would ask you what to cook... By the way, he seems to be able to taste the leftover dishes after being presented by others every time, can I also..."

As Erina spoke, she glanced at Liu Maoxing's cooking counter, and found that there were still some leftovers, so she walked over pretending to be natural...

"Why do I suddenly feel that this kind of thing, Xing, seems to be a natural thing every time I do it, but I don't feel so much pressure when I do it!" Erina complained to Ling'er with a reddish face.

"Well, in the middle of a cooking duel, a normal person would feel embarrassed to taste the opponent's cooking suddenly, right?" Linger said bluntly.

Hearing Ling'er's words, Erina felt even more embarrassing, but at the same time, her eyes became firm, as if she had made some important decision, she continued to walk towards Liu Maoxing's cooking table with her head held high!

"...Are you determined to break through a certain lower limit?" Ling'er said helplessly.

Fortunately, at this time most people's attention was focused on Liu Maoxing and the judges, and not many people paid attention to Erina's little tricks...

Erina is really curious now, how did Liu Maoxing step forward when he was in full view of everyone!

Put the black noodles on Liu Maoxing's cooking table into a small bowl alone, and the moment the black noodles entered, Erina's "God's Tongue" was immediately intoxicated, fern root powder, ink, fish roe... Constructed The taste of earth, sea and life united.

Although pearl powder has no taste, but because it is full of the power of "the source of the sun", in this dark noodle soup, people instinctively think of stars...

Ling'er seemed to be very interested in "Xinghe Noodles", and connected with Erina's sense of taste for a while, but Erina was suddenly stunned!

"It seems that it is difficult for you to win." Ling'er said.

But Erina didn't make a sound, until Ling'er wondered if she had suffered any blows, Erina said: "Actually, you helped Ah Xing awaken the 'Spice Essence' last time, didn't you do the same? "

"..." Ling'er was speechless for a moment.

"Women's intuition" is so scary sometimes, and I have to admire Erina's degree of divergence of thinking. Just in the scene of tasting "Xinghe Noodles" just now, I suddenly thought of Linger helping Liu Maoxing awaken "Spice" The marrow" thing.

You know, Liu Maoxing himself is still kept in the dark!

At the same time, the judges gradually returned from the "Galaxy", looking at the black "Galaxy Noodle", their faces were full of "joy".

However, after regaining his senses a little bit, Horietsu still asked: "These roes... are so evenly distributed in the center of the ramen, without any part being exposed, and there is no part without roe, and such thin noodles, also It shouldn't be rolled out...how did it do it?"

That's right, the part of the roe in the Warabi Soba is exactly in the center of the noodles. It can be said that the "core" of this bowl of Warabi Soba is made of the top Beluga roe!

But... how to do it?

If it is simply mixed into the noodles, the result should be uniform distribution in the noodles, and the surface part will also have caviar divisions. When the time comes to directly contact with the black soup and heat, the texture and taste of the caviar will also be affected. A certain amount of damage.

When Liu Maoxing presented soup noodles before, many people had this kind of concern, because whether the fish roe was added to the soup or mixed into the noodles, it would affect the original flavor of the fish roe!

If it wasn't Liu Maoxing who brought out these bowls of noodles, let's not talk about the reactions of other people, it was only Futoriak who was on the sidelines, and now he might rush forward to seek justice for the "wasted" caviar.

But now Liu Maoxing puts the fish roe into the noodle soup, even if he pours the fish roe into the sewer, I am afraid everyone will only think that this is some kind of special fermentation method...

When the judges tasted the "Xinghe Noodles", they immediately discovered that all the roe were in the center of the Warabi Root Soba!

Although it is heated, because there is no direct contact with the soup, it has little effect on the taste and texture.

Moreover, Liu Maoxing also used as elegant spices as possible in the dark black chicken-top ink broth. With the unique fragrance of fern root soba noodles, the umami taste of the fish roe burst out completely in the mouth!

If it is said that after pulling the noodles, the noodles are flattened, the fish roe is placed on the flat noodles, and then rolled up... it is indeed possible to achieve this effect.

However, what comes with it will definitely make the taste of the wara root soba noodles worse, and the thickness will be uneven. The most important thing is that it is easy to "scatter the noodles", which will lead to the failure of cooking.

But Liu Maoxing's "Galaxy Noodle" has no such signs at all!

Eagle Hand? impossible……

Although the judges couldn't quite understand the principle of the Eagle's Hand, no matter how they looked at it, the noodles were much thinner than fingers!

"That's right, it wasn't involved, but it was mixed into the dough from the very beginning." Liu Maoxing said with a smile.

"Huh? How do you do it so that the caviar is only in the 'core'?" Jue Yue asked.

"It's very simple. This is actually a 'basic' for kneading noodles. As long as the fish roe is in the center of the dough at the beginning, after it is naturally stretched into ramen, it is also in the center of the ramen!" Liu Maoxing continued to smile.

However, what he said made people ponder for a long time before he understood it...

Indeed, as long as the fish roe is wrapped in the center of the dough at the beginning, then "theoretically" as long as the inner fish roe is kept in the same degree as the outer dough is stretched every time the dough is stretched, then the final word dough becomes noodles Afterwards, the fish roe will become the "core" of the noodles just like at the beginning!

but……

What kind of basic skill is this! This doesn't even count as an advanced skill, it's a skill that only exists "in theory"!

Oizumi Kakinosuke suddenly realized something, and immediately asked: "Could it be that you have already comprehended one of the branches of the 'noodle essence', the 'noodle essence'?"

"No, it's just some experience, plus... my hands are more flexible and have richer perception!" Liu Maoxing also specially spread his hands, and the ten fingers moved in an "indescribable" way.

"Cough cough cough! It seems that student Liu Maoxing indeed has the foundation to be a top pastry chef, no, a top cook." Xiangtian coughed dryly.

Horie felt that the reason why Xiangtian changed his words midway was because he was worried that all the pastry chefs would be sacked after going out!

After all, what I said at the beginning seems to be saying that "pastry chefs" need some very "indescribable" talents...

Yuan Guo at the side also cast a coquettish look at Liu Maoxing, but Liu Maoxing himself didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and he didn't know that in the hearts of many school girls, he had already been labeled as a "chi Han".

Of course, there were more audiences, who focused their attention on Liu Maoxing's hands!

"Sister, wouldn't it be better for your eyes to be a little darker?" Chiba Oriue looked helplessly at her sister Xia Ya.

"Ahem! Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? I was thinking that after the National Treasure Master of Sword Art, maybe he is not far away from the National Treasure Class of Face Dao Master!"

People who have the same idea are obviously not the only one...

"Come on, it's almost time for The Blue."

"Isn't it the turn of the 'Michelin Food Federation', one of the three major food certification organizations, to host this year?"

"That's true, but I heard that there seems to be some variables..."

"Variable? What variable can The Blue have?"

"It seems that the 'American Development Conference' on the American side intends to host 'The Blue'..."

"Huh? They weren't recognized by the three major culinary institutions. They wouldn't talk to him, right? They're just kidding themselves, right?"

"No, I've heard that too. It seems that many veterans in the culinary industry and well-known culinary groups are promoting this matter. It is impossible for the three major organizations to completely ignore other people's opinions. Otherwise, if there is a large-scale The strike will only embarrass the World Cuisine Contest even more!"

"That's right, after all, in recent years, many culinary masters have emerged in the Americas, especially culinary groups in the Americas, many of which have already gained international influence. ', once again proposed to become the fourth largest food certification organization..."

"Having said that, when it comes to the World Cooking Competition, do you feel that Liu Maoxing is a bit like a person twenty years ago?"

"Twenty years ago? Nakiri... Ah no, Nakamura Ji?"

"No, it's someone else..."

Some people who knew Ichiro Saibajo who passed by the Engetsu Academy like a shooting star at that time instinctively thought at this moment that Liu Maoxing should be more like Ichiro Saibajo than Nakiriji, right?

Of course, because Joichiro dropped out of school, and Senzaemon deliberately suppressed Joichiro's influence in Totsuki in order to protect Joichiro who was studying around the world from being too much harassed. There are even more people who don't know that the famous "Chef Caibo" was once a student of Yuanyue.

Coupled with the later change of surname and seclusion in a small restaurant, the reputation of "Chef Saiba" began to fade, and most of the people who thought they "knew" Saibajo Ichiro did not know it. Now Joichiro is no longer just an excellent "wandering chef", but one of the few cooks who have truly stood at the top of the culinary world!

At this time, the judges had already given Liu Maoxing's score...

20, 20, 19, 20, 20!

"Here it is! The highest score in the audience! Contestant Liu Maoxing's total score is... 99 points! Except for Chief Chef Dojima, the other four judges all gave a perfect score of 20 points!" Rei Kawashima announced.

The audience off the field couldn't help but discuss...

But the object of discussion this time is not Liu Maoxing, but Dojima Yin!

On the one hand, Liu Maoxing's absolute high score is naturally one of the focuses of everyone's discussion, but on the other hand, the 19 points given by Dojima Gin will inevitably be criticized...

If there is a different judge or another occasion, and someone gives a different score than other judges, there is nothing for others to comment on.

But now it's the "Top Ten Qualifying Competition"!

If Liu Maoxing finally gets 100 points, it means that in the eyes of the judges, he already has the strength of "the ten strongest heroes in history"...

In the eyes of most of the students and guests, the reference of "Ten Strongest in History" should be Gin Dojima who just graduated!

Now the other four people think that Liu Maoxing's culinary skills are not weaker than that of Dojima Yin when he graduated. Only Dojima Yin gave a score of 19...

The scene is a bit embarrassing!

Although no one would directly criticize Gin Dojima as a judge, some whispered discussions were unavoidable.

Dojima Gin had also thought about this kind of result before, but as a judge, he also had his own principles, and he would not give a score that did not conform to his own judgment in order not to be criticized by others.

However, Dojima Gin also wanted to explain. He glanced at the commander-in-chief and found that after Senzaemon nodded to him, Dojima Gin stood up and said, "For a long time, everyone may have thought that I am from Totsuki Academy." 'Legend', the ten strongest heroes... However, in Yuanyue's golden age, there were two geniuses who were more dazzling than me!

If I were to give myself a score when I graduated, I think it would be 18.5 points. If 0.5 points are not allowed, for my ambition, I will give myself 0.5 points, which is 19 points!

Also today I saw the rise of another talent in Yuanyue. If I were to give him a score, I think it should be 19.5 points. If 0.5 points are not allowed, in order not to make him proud, I would also choose to give him 19 points..."

Dojima Yin's words undoubtedly explained the glory of Yuanyue's golden age...

The law of "the newer the stronger" has been reversed. In the past 20 years of the Golden Age, finally only Liu Maoxing and Erina have reached the standard of "excellence" in the Golden Age!

At the same time, it also shows that Dojima Yin has admitted that Liu Maoxing is stronger than himself when he graduated, and even Erina has a level that is almost the same as when he graduated.

As for continuing to avoid the existence of Joichiro and Ji, it is meaningless.

Joichiro has completely come out of the shadows and does not need extra protection, and Ji just came to Yuanyue to make a big fuss not long ago, and now he has opened a branch school in Edo, apparently to have a hard anus with Yuanyue. It's a bit self-deceiving to pretend that he doesn't exist anymore...
