Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Misaku Subaru and Xingping Chuangzhen have already accepted Liu Maoxing's invitation. Whether it is out of their own wishes or out of the support Yuanyue should give as a student of Yuanyue, neither of them has any reason to refuse!

Therefore, the two also gave up the third "collective review", and Liu Maoxing also gave up at the same time...

The reason why there is a "collective review" is Yuanyue's way of forming a "student team" and allowing elite students to obtain stars.

And now the "Graduate Team" doesn't need additional stars, so there's no need to be in a hurry. If you want to become a star chef, you can do it at any time as long as you have the strength.

As for Erina...

The star rating of the "Current Student Team" is not enough. Although Erina already has six stars, she is still the main force of the "Star Winning Team", but this time she only signed up for two "three-star" assessments!

In other words, even if Erina passed all of them, they were only "Twelve Stars".

Although compared to her age, it is already a very remarkable achievement, but Liu Maoxing feels that she still has some strength...

You must know that many people now question whether the "student team" can make up enough stars, and Erina and Oda Nobuna even quarreled in the council because of this.

"Are you so confident in Alice and the others?" Liu Maoxing asked Erina privately after reading the registration information.

Well, it has to be in private, otherwise Alice, Yu Mei and the others will definitely let Liu Maoxing "pay the bill" for this "questionable" behavior.

Although they are indeed not full of confidence now, it does not mean that they can accept Liu Maoxing's "questioning" of their abilities...

In fact, now Liu Maoxing is not questioning their skills, but Erina's carelessness!

"I've already told them that if they can't gather the 'Twelve Stars', we won't participate... Correspondingly, I have more time to tutor them." Erina said proudly.

Liu Maoxing immediately understood that instead of saying that Erina was "careless" and "confident", it would be better to say that she was breaking the boat!

No wonder Liu Maoxing seldom sees the shadows of the other women recently, it seems that they are all encouraged by Erina's persecution to work hard.

"But from this point of view, our 'graduate team' can only take the lead first!"

Facing Liu Maoxing's complacent look, Erina couldn't help reminding helplessly: "This is not a match between our two teams, don't make it sound like we've already reached the final..."

"Ahem, I also want to ease the atmosphere. I don't even dare to watch the news recently."

Recently, the situation in southern Africa has continued to deteriorate. Liu Maoxing chose to pretend to be an ostrich for this kind of thing that not only does not help, but also makes him more nervous.

"Graduate team? Are you sure we are called 'Graduate Team' and 'College Student Team'? It sounds awkward. The identities of our players in each team are not very uniform. Your 'Graduate Team' is also you." Is this student the team leader?" Erina frowned.

It seems that Erina also has a lot of opinions on these two unaesthetic names.

After Liu Maoxing nodded, he said, "Well, what do you think of the 'Party Subaru'?"

"..." Although she didn't speak, seeing Erina's expression of "can you be more reserved", I knew what she wanted to say.

Liu Maoxing thought about it, in order to prevent Sigong from turning back in a fit of anger, it is necessary to consider the team name!

"What name do you want to use?" Liu Maoxing asked proactively.

They are both representatives of the Yuanyue Group, the names of the two teams are somewhat related...

"Students who have not yet graduated are still in the golden period of their own development. Although their culinary skills may not be as good as the world's first-class standards, they will definitely become towering trees in the culinary world in the future... I think Call it 'Seed'." Erina said.

"Then I call it 'magnet link'?"

Erina's "indifferent" expression has already expressed her opinion.

Liu Maoxing also summed it up. His instinctive reaction seemed to be in the wrong direction. The "seed" they both thought of should not have the same meaning...

Generally speaking, if current students are "seeds", graduates should correspond to big trees, fruits, etc., but Liu Maoxing felt that this was wrong.

Even for the graduates, like the members of the Liu Maoxing team, they are all still on the rise, but not as fast as the golden development period.

And from a macro point of view, in the current concept of "cooking world", there is only the peak, the peak, there is no highest, the top...

Even if someone surpasses all cooks and becomes the top one, is there no room for improvement?

The dishes are unlimited!

Just like the original Atlantis and Lemuria, they were still exploring further ways on the eve of the peak of development, that is, the beginning of the "catastrophe", so there were "source cuisine", " The Heart of Cooking"...

Therefore, Liu Maoxing felt that it was inappropriate to compare the "graduate team" to a big tree that had grown to the highest stage.

After moaning for a while, Liu Maoxing said, "Then call it 'Nenya'... After all, I'm quite young!"

Regarding Liu Maoxing's "lonely self-admiration", Erina bluntly said: "Actually, when you and Chef Sigong were eating halberds, many students said that he looked younger than you..."

That's why Liu Maoxing hates that guy!

"That's it! Your team name is 'Seed', and our name is 'Germinate'!" Liu Maoxing pretended not to hear, and directly finalized the names of the two teams.

Because the competition is in the Americas, the team name must be in English when registering, and when it's the Dragon Chef League's turn next year, it will all be in Chinese...

After spelling out these two words, Liu Maoxing said with a strange expression: "Should we think of another nickname called 'Wings of Condemnation'?"

(Dongdong: Who knows about this old stalker!)

"Huh?" Erina didn't understand what he said at all.

It was Ling'er who interrupted at this moment: "Wings of Condemnation? That's a good name. We just need to see if you can 'convict' this time."

For this Ling'er who can legally eavesdrop at any time, Liu Maoxing is also very helpless, and now feels that he has no time to be alone with Erina.

Now Ling'er doesn't pray anymore, even if she can't see her by force, she will sometimes jump out by herself...

"Okay, I'm going to coach them. Since you think you can take the lead over me, you can take it... Don't forget, you are on the same starting line as the team other than 'Seed', so there is no time to delay Bar?"

"Well, this week we will practice coordination first, and then... we will be busy!" Liu Maoxing said.

Half a month later, Yuanyue Academy will hold the "third group audit". Although Liu Maoxing and others spared no effort to participate, it was the one with the largest number of applicants.

And the reason why Liu Maoxing said that compared to Erina, he has the upper hand is because before the "third collective review", that is, a week later, the topic of the "individual competition" during the qualifiers will be announced !

Half a month after the topic was announced, the teams from all sides were going to America. From the announcement of the topic to the official start of the competition, there was only 21 days.

It is very similar to the "Food Halberd" of Yuanyue Academy. The individual competitions announce the topic in advance, and then the contestants prepare the recipes and ingredients by themselves, and the competition side checks whether the ingredients are qualified...

As for the topic of the "team competition" in the qualifiers, it will not be announced in advance. Instead, you can enter the venue on time and use the ingredients provided by the competition. It is more urgent than the individual competition. Seven people discuss, five people Hands-on, test the ability of brainstorming on the spot and the ability to cooperate with each other.

In the individual competition, during the qualifiers, each team has three people who cook together on the same topic, and then the judges will score...

And later on in the main match, every time the two teams face off, there will be three individual matches of "1vs1 confrontation".

The reason why Liu Maoxing did not participate in the "third collective review" was because after a week, he would be fully preparing for the recipes for the qualifiers, and it was impossible to distract himself from preparing the recipes for the star review...

In contrast, Erina is busier, while Alice, Yu Mei, Fei Shazi, and Xiaohui are unlikely to appear in the individual competition, so there is no need to prepare too many recipes, but this will also delay the practice Match time!

As for Liu Maoxing and the others, they can focus on practicing cooperation within this week, and concentrate on preparing the recipes for the individual competition a week later.

During this week, Liu Maoxing had to lament that cooking is not mathematics, so it doesn't make sense for two chefs to work together to cook twice as delicious...

It also has a deeper understanding, Yuanyue's representative team is not very dominant, and choosing current students as alternates does not have much impact!

Although he could understand a little bit before, but when he really started to practice "cooperation", Liu Maoxing really realized that in fact, the seemingly luxurious lineup did not have the feeling of flying dragon riding on the face at all...

During Liu Maoxing's "field practice", he went to the branch opened by Shinomiya Kojiro in Edo, and it took him a week to get used to it, to the point where he not only didn't cause trouble, but could also help.

So before Liu Maoxing felt that his cooking skills have improved greatly compared to half a year ago, and everyone in the team, no matter whether they are candidates or candidates, are better than their own cooking skills at that time, and their personal relationships are better than their own. Hello Sinomiya!

So this time there is a week to get familiar with the cooperation, it should be easy?

Obviously Liu Maoxing was wrong!

Collaborative cooking should be divided into "master", "secondary" and "auxiliary", because the topic of team cooking is all banquets, and one or two people will do it, and the time must be too late, otherwise the team cooking session will be meaningless ...

The five people cook different dishes separately, and in the end, there will definitely be a lack of connection between each dish and overall coordination.

In other words, either the five people have a good understanding, or one person is the main person, one or two people are the assistants, and two or three people are the assistants, so that the banquet can be coordinated!

Just like the branch in Sigong back then, Sigong and Abel were the "masters"... This is a special situation, Sigong will take his branch chef Abel for the last trip, otherwise there will not be two The "main" position, Liu Shi is the "sub" position, and Liu Maoxing is the "sub" position.

Not to mention the "master" and "deputy" positions, the "auxiliary" position is to a large extent not something that can be done with high cooking skills!

The auxiliary position also requires cooking skills, but only a "bottom limit" is required...

It's not that the cooking skills needed by the cooks are very low. For example, in the main store of Sigong, the cooks who can be his cooks are no worse than Yuanyue's fresh graduates in terms of culinary skills!

It is said to be "lower limit" because cooking skills beyond this limit are useless...

As for Liu Maoxing, the seven people, even Subaru and Yukihira Soshin, who have the "worst" cooking skills, have reached the limit of their cooking skills as assistant cooks for Liu Maoxing and Shinomiya Kojiro. The question is whether they can perform well. out.

After a week of contact, the best ones are Xinghei Soma and Misaku Subaru!

When the two of them assisted Liu Maoxing and Shinomiya Kojiro, although they couldn't say that they cooperated seamlessly, they were not as handy as the two professional cooks from the Shinomiya main store, but they were already good enough...

On the contrary, it was Mizuhara Fuyumi and Kanhiko who were completely unable to assist Liu Maoxing and Shinomiya Kojiro.

On the other hand, Sigong couldn't cooperate with them, but Liu Maoxing helped everyone, and could "help".

According to the original strategy, during the team competition, according to the topic, it takes 20 minutes to decide on the spot who needs to play in the end, who will be the head chef, and who will be in charge of the chef...

But now it seems that a single chef is definitely not enough, otherwise there will be no four chefs who can be chefs!

It seems that only one head chef can be selected at that time to be responsible for coordinating all the cooking of the banquet. At the same time, there will be one or two chefs who will cook separately from the head chef, and two or three people will be the cooks...

As the team leader, Liu Maoxing naturally already thought that the team competition is their team's weakness.

Those teams participating in the restaurant as a unit, the coordination ability that they have honed over the years or even decades, is definitely not comparable to their hastily sharpened their guns.

A week later, the joint training of the "Germinate" team came to an end, and the "Seed" who was preparing for the collective review, and the individual competition questions of the qualifiers that could not help but dream, finally came out...

"Salsus? What is this?" Liu Maoxing was really stunned when he saw the title.

"Salsus is Latin, and now it means 'sausage'." Kojiro Shinomiya said.

"'Now' means sausage? Did it mean something else before?" Liu Maoxing confirmed again.

"The original intention was 'salty ingredients'... But don't forget, in previous The Blue competitions, the extensibility of the questions was not as good as that of Yuanyue Academy's Food Halberd. It's better not to play other If you have an idea, just focus on the sausage!" Ganri explained to Zi.

"Sausage... the competition is two hours, so we can't make sausages on the spot, that is to say, we need to use ready-made sausages for cooking?" Liu Maoxing frowned, and then said: "Then what about the sausages made in advance?" ? Let’s start now, it’s too late, right?”

"According to the old practice, this situation should limit the use of ingredients that are sold to the public..."
