Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Be careful, you have just completed the first stage of special training. Although in theory you can 'raise war with battle', if you lose instead, you will be in trouble!"

"That's right, Shinomiya-senpai's words...you're not sure either, are you?" Erina said.

"If it's 'sure', it won't be effective, right?" Liu Maoxing spread his hands.

Ling'er couldn't help but sighed: "I don't know if it's right or wrong to teach you the profound meaning of 'Chef of Command'..."

But after thinking about it, he also said: "However, with your aptitude and cooking skills, if you don't use the profound meaning of 'command chef', even with my teaching, there is no way you can reach the level of 'dragon chef' within three months." Class!"

For Linger's vague contempt, Liu Maoxing couldn't say anything. After all, from "touching the edge of Lin level" to "Dragon level" in three months, Liu Maoxing himself did not dare to pat his chest and say that he can do it.

Thinking of the price that "Chef Commander" had to pay, Liu Maoxing didn't know what to think of, and asked suddenly: "By the way, is it true that 'Chef Commander' has been completely lost and never appeared since seven thousand years ago?"

"That's right, even in the days of Atlantis and Lemuria civilization, the 'command chef' was too dangerous to be tried easily... Wait! If there is a 'completely' lost In other words... It seems that a hundred years ago, before I was awakened, someone discovered the incomplete way of honing the cooking skills of the "Chef of Command" from other "spiritual kitchen utensils"..."

When Liu Maoxing heard the words, he nodded in understanding.

What Ling'er is talking about now as "Chef of Command" is exactly what was taught to Erina and Liu Maoxing during this period of time, in addition to some ancient cooking systems.

"Siming" is Ling'er's name in the modern Chinese language family, which means "in charge of life". In fact, Liu Maoxing thinks that if elegance is not considered, it is more appropriate to call it "gambling chef" directly!

Its central purpose is to draw "nutrients" from the duels through the most intense duels with other cooks, improve the speed of understanding cooking skills, and enhance the strength of the culinary heart...

If you want to become a "command chef", "tiger level" is the lowest standard, and if you want to be effective, the target of "confrontation" must be a cook who is almost the same as yourself, and the other party must go all out to inspire " Commander Chef" in the duel, the effect of absorbing nutrients.

Cookers whose cooking skills are much lower than their own cannot trigger the effect of "commanding chef", and cookers who are much better than themselves... can't win!

It is precisely because of this that Liu Maoxing said that "Kojiro Shinomiya" was the best candidate, and he deliberately inspired his fighting spirit...

While the "command chef" can improve quickly, it naturally also has its flaws, that is, if it loses, it will suffer serious trauma both mentally and in terms of the activity of body cells.

Although it won't affect cooking skills immediately, it will affect life expectancy. If you are a "command chef" and still fail repeatedly, you probably won't live long. Every failure means the passing of life...

You must know that the "command duel" cannot start at any time, you must prepare before the duel, and it cannot end halfway after it starts, so the lifespan of "command chef" is generally not high!

Moreover, in addition to "lifespan", the loss of body cell activity will cause scars to appear "for no reason" all over the body, and mental trauma may cause psychological problems such as anxiety, nervousness, and obsessive-compulsive disorder...

There are originally two training methods for the "command chef", corresponding to the spiritual cuisine of Atlantis and the material cuisine of Lemuria, but now Linger teaches Liu Maoxing and Erina an improved version, It acts on both cooking skills and heart at the same time, but at the same time, it has side effects on both!

Before Liu Maoxing thought of Li Yan and Shao An, whose strength had improved significantly after joining the dark cooking world during the "Zhonghua Yiyi" period, their faces and bodies became covered with scars. After Ren pursued dark cooking skills, The feeling of being a human being became more and more indifferent, and it was only after "killing" Luo Xie that he suddenly woke up...

Originally, Liu Maoxing thought that those scars should be traces of "hard training", but after thinking about it carefully, no matter how hard it is, it is just cooking, and it is possible to be "crazy" under too much pressure. Cut yourself?

After understanding the principle of "Chef Commander", Liu Maoxing wondered whether it was the dark culinary world who had mastered two incomplete meanings of "Chef Commander" at that time...

Some cooks who are eager for success but not desperate can use this to make rapid progress.

When the "command chef" is conducting a command duel, it only affects himself and does not affect the opponent, but if the other party is also a "command chef" and also starts the command duel, the effect and side effects will be doubled!

That is to say, as long as you find enough cooks who are willing to use commanding duels, you can cultivate excellent cooks just like "raising Gu"...

However, in the "command showdown", the outcome is not decided by the judges or referees, but by "yourself".

After tasting the other party's food, the cook will naturally have an answer in his heart, and he can't lie to himself, the result of the "command showdown" will be revealed in an instant!

"But you have to understand that there is no 'Dragon Chef' who grew up in the way of 'Designer's Chef', and I'm not sure if it has any effect on a dragon-level cook." Ling'er warned.

In Linger's era, all Lin-level chefs were important talents in developing new ingredients. Choose to become a "command chef".

After that, Erina and Ling'er didn't delay too much, but gave Liu Maoxing time to prepare for his first "command showdown".

It wasn't until Ling'er and Erina left that Liu Maoxing remembered that she forgot to ask her about the effect of Chu Xin who "looks exactly like herself"!

Although the current system of human beings' inheritance of the kitchen heart is not complete, with Ling'er's "age" and experience, she should know it!

"Ling'er, do you think he will succeed?" Erina asked worriedly after leaving.

"I don't know, a duel that is sure to succeed cannot be a 'command duel'." Ling'er did not take advantage of the situation to comfort Erina.

"..."

"Actually, you will encounter the same problem sooner or later, as long as you still want to become Chef Long within three months."

"Hmph! Of course I will succeed!" Erina looked confident in herself.

At this time, Liu Maoxing was in the cooking room, facing all kinds of crabs, and the flour of various gluten on the other side, as well as other grain flours, or starch extracted from plants, thinking about what recipe he should use to fight... …

"It was supposed to be a food halberd that says 'I don't have to pay anything if I lose', but it turned out to be a food halberd that if I lose, it's fine, but if I lose, I'll be disfigured and in danger of going crazy!" Liu Maoxing muttered depressingly.

The topic of food halberd is a double topic, which is "crab" which specifies the ingredients and "noodles" which specifies the dishes, and there is no requirement for the cuisine...

In fact, there are also ready-made recipes, such as "crab noodles fried" in Shanghai cuisine, which is a typical ready-made recipe that meets these two topics!

Of course, Liu Maoxing can make ordinary "crab noodles fried", even in the review more than a month ago, Liu Maoxing's "King Dumplings", the process of frying crab noodles is similar to the steps of "crab noodles fried".

However, this kind of daily recipe is convenient for cooks with insufficient cooking skills to cook dishes higher than their own level. With Liu Maoxing's current level, if he directly uses the ready-made recipes, he will definitely not be able to show his full strength...

Liu Maoxing now also has a wealth of experience in creating...or modifying recipes.

In Yuanyue Academy, which is generally very creative, there are very few people who create recipes completely "out of nothing". Most of the so-called "new dishes" also have their prototypes, or a fusion of several prototypes!

Liu Maoxing is going to come up with a recipe as a prototype first, and then carefully craft it...

Looking at the various crabs sent again, Liu Maoxing finally muttered: "As expected, let's use the dish that was not used 'that time'!"

The news of Liu Maoxing and Shinomiya Kojiro's "eating halberd" was known to almost everyone in Yuanyue Academy in just half a day...

Shinomiya Kojiro, the first seat of the top ten in the 79th class, happened to be in the middle of the 69th class's Dojima Gin and the current Liu Maoxing.

(It seems that there was a clerical error before, and Dojima Yin was written as the 79th class, but I went back and couldn’t find it... I hereby correct it, Dojima Yin is the 69th class!)

And if you know a little bit, you will know that Shinomiya Kojiro has passed the three-star certification of all four major French cuisines. In France, where the headquarters of the Michelin Food Federation is located, he is now a hot new generation of cooks...

Well, although he is more than ten years older than Liu Maoxing, the Fourth Palace, who is less than 30 years old, obviously belongs to the "new generation".

And Liu Maoxing, who was his opponent, is now the wild boar that deserves to be burned to death in the hearts of the students... and also the "strongest active player" of Yuanyue Academy!

It has also passed the star review, and there are more than one kind of...

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for the duel between the two to be regarded as a spark hitting the earth, and it occupied the headlines of various tabloids in the hospital several days in advance.

Although there is no precedent, but because Sigong graduated as the top ten outstanding students of Yuanyue, and was the first seat of the year, the "eating halberd" of the two, just as Liu Maoxing expected, was arranged in the "Yuetian" Between" night!

Six days passed in a blink of an eye, and the students came to "Between the Moon and the Sky" early, sat in the auditorium, and waited for the "peak showdown" for a while...

"Hi everyone! I am Rei Kawashima, the host of ceremonies today! First of all, congratulations to all the first-year juniors and juniors who have passed the test of 'residency training'... Next, congratulations to all the students present here, You will see the first graduates and the first current students who have never been seen in Yuanyue for decades!

Moreover, both sides of the duel have star honors of 12 stars and 9 stars respectively! They are Kojiro Shinomiya, the "magician of Légumes" who graduated as the first seat among the graduates of the 79th class and is also very popular among diners in France, where Michelin's headquarters is located! And the first seat among the active ten heroes, "Destructive Dragon from the Gourmet Empire" Liu Maoxing! "

In order to introduce Kojiro Shinomiya, Rei Kawashima also learned a sentence of French...

In fact, translated, it means "vegetable cuisine".

At the same time, with Rei Kawashima's introduction, the two parties have already entered "Between the Moon and the Sky" from the passages on both sides.

"I didn't expect to have the opportunity to stand here again after graduation... Liu Maoxing, I have to say, you have exceeded my expectations."

Kojiro Shinomiya was wearing a cooking uniform with a red scarf symbolizing "chef", standing opposite Liu Maoxing.

After the two walked up, they first met at the center of the arena of "Between the Moon and the Sky". Theoretically, this was an opportunity for both sides to "express friendship" before the match, but it was usually used to "speak harsh words"...

"Really? Senior Shinomiya is within my expectations, probably only if he wins against me today, will he be beyond my expectations!"

For example, now Liu Maoxing speaks harsh words without hesitation!

At the same time, it is also to inspire the general and make Shinomiya Kojiro go all out.

"It seems that your 'prediction' is a bit too naive." Sigong turned around and returned to his cooking table after finishing speaking.

Liu Maoxing also turned around and walked to the other side...

Others wouldn't see it, but Liu Maoxing's eyes seemed to have a faint light lingering at this moment!

Only Erina who was off the field couldn't help sighing: "It's started..."

That's right, Liu Maoxing has activated the effect of "Duel of Commander" from this very beginning. Although he will quickly absorb nutrients from the duel after he succeeds, if he fails, he will have to bear the corresponding price...

At the same time, at the entrances of both sides, a large box covered with cloth was pushed up!

The top ten have "idol baggage", and they will not push the trolley up like ordinary students, but the prepared ingredients will be delivered by the competition party.

At this time, the cooking table of the two of them was also arranged according to the requirements, and other ingredients were already on it, except for the "crab", which was obviously in these two big boxes...

After the "big box" was pushed up, neither of them opened it in a hurry, but quietly looked at the open ceiling.

Just when the moon was fully exposed, Senzaemon, who was sitting on the judging table, announced in person: "Cooking begins!"

At the same time, Liu Maoxing and Shinomiya Kojiro also pulled off the curtain on the box...

The ones below are indeed two huge aquariums, in addition to the mimic environment, there are crabs of almost the same size.

Slightly beyond everyone's expectations, Liu Maoxing's aquarium is not the "hairy crab" that he has used several times in Chinese cuisine, but a kind of light red crab, which is several times the size of a hairy crab and has no energy. Crab claws are curled up in the mimic environment, and those who don’t know it think they’ve been boiled!

The crabs prepared by Sigong are also very large, and the head is different from the "built-in" shell of ordinary crabs. There is a protruding head like a shrimp head, and the "shell" of the body part is also three pieces in the shape of a character... …

And in comparison, Shinomiya Kojiro's crabs are much more active, purple-blue crabs crawling around on the mimic tree trunks...

That's right, a tree trunk! The crabs in the fourth house are in the mimicry box on the sand and the trunk, not in the aquarium!
