Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Throughout the ages, for the first time, the qualifiers for the "All Blue" competition, which has only a lower limit and no upper limit, are also jokingly called "All Blue" because the name of the venue and the title of the game are similar to the allusion of the "Yorkshire Sausage War". The Second Sausage War"...

And among the ten venues of the "Second Sausage War", the popularity of the sixth venue was "abnormally" high!

It's not that this sixth venue is the most popular, but that most of the other popular venues have famous chefs... Of course, in fact, every venue has so-called "famous chefs", but the famous chefs The middle is also divided into front and back.

Ordinarily, the strength of the contestants in the sixth venue is not outstanding among the ten venues, but what is "unusual" is that there are quite a few spectators here!

Because some of the audience came to see the joke...

The reason is that just three days ago, the "American Development Association" was mocked by a 16-year-old cook!

Under the publicity of people with good intentions, this has become something that almost everyone in New York knows. Some people even think that this is a cook who was ridiculed by a teenager in the United States...

The "American Development Association" has not been recognized by the three major food certification organizations for a long time, which has caused many American cooks and gourmets to feel frustrated. In the past "The Blue" competition, they were often ridiculed .

Finally, with the efforts of the "Central Gourmet Organization", the "American Development Association" won the right to host "The Blue", but was laughed at again?

And the person who laughed this time was only sixteen years old?

If it was still an ordinary "The Blue" competition, with Liu Maoxing's title of "National Treasure Sword Master", he would probably be able to achieve good results, and the others would have nothing to say, their skills are not as good as others, so go back and practice for a few more years ...

But this year's "All·Blue" competition is different!

The "American Development Association" also didn't understand why happiness came so suddenly. Not only did the three major culinary organizations agree to hold this competition, but they also changed "The Blue" to "The Blue" which is more influential than previous ones. All Blue", of course, we must promote it vigorously.

Many famous chefs who stand at the top of the culinary world, although they are not dragon chefs, have not been affected by the curse, do not have so much resentment towards the "Jade Dragon Pot", and don't even know what it is, but the bosses of the major organizations all Going out in person, they are naturally unwilling to be lonely, wondering whether they can establish their status as the king of cooking and the god of cooking in a single battle...

Therefore, there are so many famous chefs among the contestants this time, no matter how talented Liu Maoxing is, he is only a teenager, so how good can he be?

Being ridiculed by a person who is destined not to make it to the main match, naturally some people want to watch the excitement and see him make a fool of himself!

At the beginning of the match, not only the audience present, but countless people's attention was focused on Liu Maoxing through various channels of broadcasting...

Gradually, everyone discovered... Where is his sausage?

Uh, it seems a bit vulgar to ask, but it's true that everyone didn't find his sausage!

"Is he really going to make sausages on the spot?"

"No way? Homemade sausage?"

"It's because I feel that there is no hope, so I gave up..."

Sausage, or "Salsus", was originally used to extend the shelf life of meat, so it appeared as a food, but in modern times, people like to eat sausage, but they don't want to spend too much time making it, and they don't want to buy it People who have ready-made sausages can make homemade sausages.

In particular, the advent of the oven has made it easier to make "homemade sausages".

The easiest way is to adjust the meat filling and various spices, and then pour it into the casing, or even not even use the casing, just wrap it in tin foil, bake it in the oven, and it's done!

Whether you slice it directly for breakfast, or make some home-cooked dishes at ordinary times...

However, the convenience of "homemade sausage" is convenient, but after all, it lacks the precipitation of time, and it is unusable in the "big dish" where real sausage is the main ingredient.

While those who were paying attention to Liu Maoxing were talking about it, Liu Maoxing took out rolls of slightly yellowed sausage casings...

Fragrant "intestines" and fragrant "intestines", as the name suggests, are foods made from the intestines of livestock as one of the materials.

Usually pig intestines or sheep intestines are used as casings, stuffing is poured into the casings, and then it is either air-dried, baked, or smoked...

However, since the development of the culinary world, there is naturally a substitute for "casing".

Nowadays, "casing casings" are also divided into three types: natural casings, protein casings and PVDC casings. Needless to say, natural casings are sheep or pig intestines. , so it is not easy to master when baking and smoking.

The protein sausage casing is a modern new technology. The fat layer under the cowhide is used to extract collagen and make casings. It can also be used, and the thickness is uniform and controllable, which is convenient for smoking or further cooking.

As for the third type of PDVC casing, it is a chemical synthetic product, similar to plastic, which is more convenient. The sausage in the supermarket needs to be peeled off. The outer packaging is PDVC casing... The disadvantages are obvious, inedible, and heated If it is, it will also decompose and contaminate the sausage inside.

The sausage casing Liu Maoxing took out is neat and tidy, and it is obviously not plastic, so it is supposed to be "protein casing".

"Do you really want to make sausages on the spot?"

"Hehe, I guess I gave up..."

"I can't say for sure! Wait, look at his ingredients. I thought they were dry goods and ham, and they were all used to make dishes with sausages. Now it seems... they are made of sausages?"

"Indeed, apart from ham, there is no meat in it. It is definitely not an ordinary sausage!"

Finally, there are still people who are not influenced by subjective impressions and discover the sausage Liu Maoxing wants to make, which is absolutely extraordinary.

Among them were the judges in venue 6, a judge of brown race. After seeing what Liu Maoxing had prepared, he frowned and said, "Homemade quick sausages... and those are the stuffings... this really counts" Sausage'?"

His meaning is obvious. He thinks that just because the casing is used, no matter what stuffing is used or how it is made, it can be regarded as "sausage", right?

But at this moment, another oriental judge who should be from the "Dragon Chef Alliance" said: "Mr. Sharma, you should know about oriental sausages...that is, sausages in Chinese cuisine. When will it appear?"

Sharma, a gourmet, also has some reputation in the world cuisine circle, otherwise he would not appear as one of the 55 judges in the qualifier...

Although he is an Indian gourmet, Sharma is naturally very familiar with Mr. Tang's outstanding problems.

He opened his mouth and said: "It was during the Song Dynasty in your country. Su Shi, a gourmet master at that time, found an old man who baked meat stuffing in a bamboo tube. After eating, it felt very delicious, so it was perfected and promoted. Chinese sausage... well, it makes sense!"

Sharma understood what this Mr. Tang meant when he was halfway through speaking...

Chinese sausage was originally made by sealing the stuffing and heating it!

Now Liu Maoxing still uses sausage casings...

"Let's do it!" Jack, a native American gourmet next to him, said suddenly at this moment.

Hearing his words, all the judges focused their attention on Liu Maoxing.

I saw Liu Maoxing first cut off a piece of boneless ham from the prepared ham, put it on the cooking table, and then pointed the kitchen knife at the ham...

When Liu Maoxing moved the knife, the audience who didn't pay attention to him at first also focused their attention. Everyone wanted to see the "National Treasure Master of Sword Art", the "Sword of Quick Healing" that had only been heard in rumors , how miraculous it is...

Well, after seeing what he was going to cut, everyone couldn't help but be disappointed.

Ham... Obviously not an ingredient that can show off the "Knife of Quick Healing"!

It's all dried meat, and you still expect this thing to have cell activity?

Not to mention that there were many Lao Tie who came from all over the world to watch the game, even among the audience in the Americas, not everyone had a problem with Liu Maoxing...

Don't you just despise the "American Development Association"? Not to mention there are background reasons, even if there is no reason, so what? Not all Americans are part of the "American Development Association"...

Do you despise the "American Development Association"? Coincidentally, I despise them too!

Not everyone will blind their judgment because of the "grouping" plot.

I saw that Liu Maoxing's knife was really fast. In a short while, the ham block became ham filaments, the dried squid was soaked and cut into squid filaments, and the dried abalone was soaked and cut with a "mosquito-repellent incense" knife. The traces are cut into thin shreds of abalone, and the bamboo shoots are cut into thin shreds of bamboo shoots... The soaked shark's fin naturally becomes a shark's fin needle after being boiled...

Why is the emphasis on filaments?

Because of each kind of "filament", the thickest one is the naturally separated shark fin needles, and the others are cut into filaments as thin as hairs!

At the beginning, everyone felt that all kinds of Liu Mao star knives were like swimming dragons, and all kinds of ingredients turned into filaments that could not be seen clearly from a distance. It was quite lively...

But gradually, everyone felt "nothing".

After all, the "shredded" that Liu Maoxing is demonstrating now is really the basic skill among the basic skills. No matter how advanced the saber technique is, only experts can see the way. From the eyes of laymen...it's too boring.

Just like a gymnast, "Ka Ka Ka" upside down on the crossbar, all the movements with various degrees of difficulty, everyone will think it's wonderful, but you let him do squats... No matter how much you do, no matter how standard you do, the audience will have to do it. Refund!

So in the second half of the competition, except for a few people, everyone's attention was not on Liu Maoxing for the time being...

The time passed by every minute and every second. There were 30 to 31 contestants in one venue. The cooking time limit was "two hours". Scored!

It wasn't until 1 hour and 19 minutes later that people in venue 6 also began to present dishes...

In the end, the bearded chef who was the first to present the dish scored 11.16 points. After that, there were five consecutive contestants with no more than 10 points!

It made other contestants feel a little haze...

But at the same time, everyone also knows that cooks who really want to hit high scores will not be in a hurry, the main event will be later!

Until the last 20 minutes of the game, discussions gradually sounded in the auditorium...

With a pair of good ears, Liu Maoxing heard the latest news. Harrison in the third venue got a current high score of 18.55!

This person's name, Liu Maoxing, has some impressions, and he should be one of the three heroes of the "Hundred Stars Sanying Team"!

Each of these "Three Greats" has won the honor of "Three-Star Chef" more than ten times on average, so it is not surprising to have such a score.

Passed the three-star review of ten different cuisines...

Not every star chef is called "Liu Maoxing", and not all chefs are like Liu Maoxing, with balanced development of attainments in all cuisines.

Ordinary cooks... or cooks other than Liu Maoxing, all have their own specialties, and the more skilled cooks are, the more so.

In the stage of laying the foundation, it is definitely wise to get in touch with as many cuisines as possible.

But after it has developed to a certain level, it needs to be improved in an all-round way, and it is just that it can't make it through with myself...

Usually this kind of chef who has passed so many three-star reviews has probably surpassed the tiger rank in terms of the cuisine he is best at!

After the news of the high score here, the judges in venue No. 6 reviewed three more contestants, and two of them had mediocre scores. When the third contestant stepped forward, Liu Maoxing's eyes followed suit. .

This "Herb Vienna Sausage" is the result of grilling herbs, aloe vera, and Vienna sausages fried with rosemary, thyme, oregano and other spices!

The judges gave a very high evaluation and scored 18.01 points. This is also the first dish to get a high score of 18 points or more in the No. 6 arena. You must know that a small half of the contestants have already submitted dishes...

Just as the audience cheered for him, Liu Maoxing suddenly raised his hand to call the attention of the staff present.

At first, not many people noticed this little episode that happened on the field, but after that, they found that the player's high score was not immediately displayed, but a broadcast was broadcast on the field...

The content of the broadcast was that because some players protested and suspected that the previous players had cheated, their scores should be temporarily put on hold!

The audience couldn't help being in an uproar... Someone cheated?

The opinions of the onlookers who didn't know the truth could not help being divided into two groups. One side believed it was true and waited for the situation to be verified, while the other side had a larger number of spectators who thought it was someone making trouble for no reason!

Because the scores given by the five judges are similar, could it be that five gourmets will favor one person at the same time?

Immediately a mobile judge came over, and also tasted the "Venilla Wiener Sausage", and the result was equally satisfactory, but the contestant who reported it insisted that "this dish" had a problem!

At this time, everyone also knew who the person who reported it was, that "National Treasure Level Saber Master" Liu Maoxing...

But Tuhart, who was reported, looked at him with no nose and no eyes at this time, as if he was condemning him for making trouble for no reason.

Several judges were also very helpless, but... as I said before, it is originally allowed by the rules for the contestants to report when they are dissatisfied with the results. Even if Liu Maoxing keeps reporting, they can only find a higher level to re-examine... …

"Contestant Liu Maoxing, why do you say that Contestant Tuhart's cooking is problematic? There must be a reason?" The judge surnamed Tang couldn't help but said.

He is a distant relative of the Tang family in the "Dragon Chef Alliance", but even he has to ask Liu Maoxing now... "What the hell do you want?"

At this moment, Liu Maoxing said embarrassedly: "Ahem, this... I won't say why, but there is a way to prove that what I said is wrong!"

"Prove that what you said is 'wrong'?" Old Tang always felt that this was a bit awkward.

According to the Chinese custom, it should be said "prove that what I said is right" at this time, right?

Although... grammatically speaking, it does have a meaning!

Liu Maoxing realized that he seemed to have slipped his tongue. After seeing his old man's face, he couldn't help but blushed a little, but his face dissipated heat quickly, which was just a flash of red...

"Anyway, there is a way!"

Seeing what he said, Judge Sharma also used a translator and said, "What way? Just say it..."

Contestant Tuhaote stared at him from the sidelines, as if to say: I see what you can do to distort right and wrong!

Liu Maoxing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll taste it, if it's really worth 18 points, I'll definitely taste it!"

The judges present, as well as the audience who saw this scene from the broadcast, as well as the players who were idle, all looked at this "Are you sick" eyes...

"Ahem, this... Liu Maoxing also has a super... I mean 'God's Tongue', let him try it!" Old Tang laughed.

The others looked at each other and had no choice but to do so.

Otherwise, Liu Maoxing has been protesting, and it will delay the matter!

Toohart looked displeased and ordered a portion of "Vanilla Vienna Sausage". Because of the mobile judges, according to the rules, each contestant must prepare ten portions of the same dish, which is enough!

Liu Maoxing looked at the delicate code wheel, and thought to himself: Is this "Brother Tu" or the female constellation Chu? I'm so dissatisfied, and I haven't forgotten the neat code disc...

Of course, the complaints in my heart belong to the complaints, and Liu Maoxing also understands that the reason why the other party is like this is not because he respects him who is unreasonable, but because he respects his profession. As a cook, he must present the dishes to the diners as perfectly as possible!

"Offended." After Liu Maoxing said something, he carefully picked up a piece of Vienna sausage and put it in his mouth...

The toughness and plumpness of this kind of sausage are more than ordinary sausages, and because of the smoked step, the flavor is more layered. The cooking method chosen by Tuhaote is to add a variety of spices...it is easy to escape taste!

But since he got a high score of 18.01 points, it naturally shows that his culinary skills are so high that he has avoided this point, turned disadvantages into advantages, and further explored the depth of flavor of "Vienna sausages"...

That's right, Liu Maoxing never doubted the fairness of the judges from the very beginning!

To some extent, he is indeed "making trouble for no reason"...

"Delicious!" Liu Maoxing said heavily.

After thinking about it, I wiped out the small three-slice sausage, a few parsley, and broccoli on the plate.

Toohart was at the side, waiting for this kid to talk nonsense with a dissatisfied face, and then he refuted him fiercely... Who knew that he would just say "delicious"? Then eat it all? Toohart has the feeling of punching cotton!

"Then what? Why isn't my cooking worth the 18 points? Tell me," said Toohart.

"It's worth it! There's nothing wrong with the score. I was wrong. I'm sorry!" Liu Maoxing bowed to several judges, then bowed to Tuhart, and said at the same time: "I blamed Tuhart. Chef, your 'Herb Wiener Sausage' is very delicious and has brought out all the advantages of Vienna sausage, thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn, and I apologize for my previous mistakes!"

"No, it's okay..." Toohart was also stunned, and almost suffered internal injuries.

But seeing the young boy apologize so sincerely, he couldn't say anything else.

"Okay! Contestant Liu Maoxing, you haven't delivered the dishes yet, so don't go back yet!" Old Tang reminded.

After Liu Maoxing bowed to the judges again, he trotted back...

Of course, Liu Maoxing's "sausage" has already been put in the steamer by him at this time, and his people are on the judge's side, but the super-smell has been locked on his own cooking table! Make sure there are no surprises and keep an eye on the heat...

Like Toohart himself, the judges still haven't figured out what Liu Maoxing was up to just now.

And some of the audience who were not optimistic about Liu Maoxing even more laughed at his "watching the sky from a well" at this time, centering on "If you don't have the ability, do you think other people can't do it?" .

At the same time, there are also some audience members who feel that Liu Maoxing's actions seem to have other meanings, but I can't figure out the specific reason!

Until three more players passed, another player scored 18.11 points, and at this time Liu Maoxing raised his hand again!

Many people paid attention to him this time, secretly said: No way?

Even Old Tang on the judging panel grinned... Sure enough, amidst the grinning of the judges, Liu Maoxing questioned the result again!

The five venue judges, one mobile judge, and the contestant who just presented the dishes were all staring at him at this moment...

"What's the reason this time?" Old Tang asked sullenly.

"I won't say why, but there is a way to prove that what I said is wrong...or right!" Liu Maoxing learned the lesson from last time and made up for the loopholes in language habits.

But everyone's eyes have also changed. If the eyes can talk, they must be saying "this guy is really sick" now!

"...The way is to let you try it?"

Liu Maoxing nodded, and the contestant also rolled his eyes when he heard this, and gave him a fancy dress...

As if going back in time, the previous incident happened again. After Liu Maoxing swept away the dishes, he apologized to the judges and the contestants. stare at him.

A few more contestants were reviewed, and another contestant with a score of 17.98 appeared, and Liu Maoxing raised his hand again, facing the "contempt" and "blame" of countless people, and re-acted the two plays just now...
