Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Miss Erina! This way, this way!" Fei Shazi timidly looked at the safe passage behind from the corner, and then waved to greet her.

I saw Erina, Fei Shazi and others wearing peaked caps, walking carefully through the corridor of the safe passage of the venue, and they were not relieved until they came out...

"Phew, I finally got rid of those reporters." Erina said.

"After all, it's already the semi-finals. After Ms. Erina wins this round, she's only one step away from the championship! Those reporters will hope that the interview is also expected." Fei Shazi's eyes flashed with admiration.

"Then let Alice and Dojima-san deal with them! I'm very tired now..."

Erina did look a little tired, and I don't know if it was because of the game or because of the siege of reporters after the game.

Although Fei Shazi has always supported Erina's opinions unconditionally, at this time, together with Yu Mei and Xiaohui, she accompanied Erina to hide from the reporters and didn't say anything, but she still seemed a little hesitant...

"Fei Shazi, what's wrong?" Erina asked proactively.

"Eh? No, it's nothing... I just feel that Ms. Erina has changed a lot. If it was before, she would still use the most perfect posture to deal with the reporters... Ah! Of course, I don't want Erina either. Miss Rina, the one who forced herself so hard is just..." Fei Shazi explained.

As the heir of the Yuanyue Group in the eyes of outsiders, although Erina's eyes are higher than the top, but unlike Liu Maoxing, when facing reporters, he will behave appropriately out of the image of the Yuanyue Group.

"I understand what you mean, but this kind of interview should be left after I win the championship!" Erina said.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps from far to near, and the women looked over, but found that it was Liu Maoxing, who hadn't been to the competition site before, and was rushing over...

Moreover, like Erina and the others, Liu Maoxing clearly had "doubt" written on his face.

"You, why are you here? Erina...are you alright?" Liu Maoxing also panted slightly.

Well, to make Liu Maoxing breathe, he probably ran all the way from the hotel to the arena at full speed, right?

"Huh? What can we do? Isn't it just to hide from a reporter and get arrested?" Yu Mei asked suspiciously.

"Reporter... Erina, you...couldn't have won?" Liu Maoxing said in disbelief.

"Hey, hey! Didn't you even watch the game?" Fei Shazi said dissatisfied.

She was also a little puzzled, what the hell are Liu Maoxing and Erina doing, even if it is to concentrate time on self-training, there is no need not to watch each other's games, right?

And looking at the appearance of the two, it doesn't look like they are arguing...

"Um, I saw the part of presenting the dishes, after that...forget it! It's fine if you win!" Liu Maoxing felt like punching the empty space, and although he said "that's fine", in fact he A look of interest in the results of the game.

That's right, from the reactions of the judges after the tasting, Liu Maoxing judged the sinister intentions in the cooking of Nakijiji and the fact that his cooking has reached the dragon level!

Out of his understanding of Erina, Liu Maoxing thought she was doomed at the time, so he couldn't sit still immediately, and rushed over...

Who knew that when they got to the entrance of the venue, they saw Erina, Fei Shazi, Yu Mei and Xiaohui walking out together. Although they were wearing peaked caps, they couldn't hide it from Liu Maoxing's eyes.

"By the way! Even if you win, there will still be a team competition in the afternoon, right? Is it really okay to leave the venue at this time? Or...'he' also abstained?" Liu Maoxing wondered.

"He" naturally refers to Nakiriji!

Although Liu Maoxing believed that since Erina had already won, obviously the shadow in her heart should have completely disappeared, but due to the special relationship between the two, Liu Maoxing still avoided calling Erina by his first name in front of her.

"No, 'he' also fainted after losing... But in the individual competition in the morning, we were 3-0! There is no need to compete in the team competition."

"Three to zero? Wait! I remember that the 'Seed team' played...Alice and Mr. Dojima, right? They all won?" Liu Maoxing asked in surprise.

Dojima Yin can win, but Liu Maoxing is not so strange.

After all, as a group of cooks who are closest to Chef Long, Dojima Gin has no less than 50% chance of winning against any opponent other than Chef Long!

But Alice, who barely has star power, actually won the representative contestant of the "American Development Association" in the semi-finals of "All? Blue"?

With the background of the "American Development Association", those who can compete in the individual competition of the representative team should also be veteran chefs!

"Didn't you pay attention to Alice's performance? When Alice comes back, I will tell her..." Fei Shazi said maliciously.

Seeing Liu Maoxing's embarrassment, Erina reluctantly helped him out: "Okay, let's go back to the hotel first! I don't want to be discovered by reporters..."

At this time, someone was already using a mobile phone to take pictures of Liu Maoxing... Obviously he had already been recognized, so it was obviously not too far before Erina was recognized.

After returning to the hotel, Erina told Liu Maoxing the reason why Alice and herself won.

Among them, the match between Alice and Chef Locke was no less exciting than the match between Erina and thistle.

The appearance of Alice using all kinds of sophisticated equipment does not feel like cooking at all, but rather like developing some important medicine in some kind of secret laboratory!

And more importantly, during the week when Liu Maoxing didn't see Alice, she successfully awakened her heart of cooking...

A kind of kitchen heart that Linger has never seen before.

It's not that this kind of kitchen heart is so shocking, crazy and cool, but because of its special ** Lisi's kitchen heart is also a special function type, and it is not used to use ingredients The "source" of cooking is used as a medium to pour one's own will into cooking, but to "operate" sophisticated equipment!

Linger has seen a similar kitchen heart. In the ancient civilization period, when the "dark cooking showdown" was popular, the powerful cooks basically had their own "dark kitchen utensils", which were used to start the "dark cooking showdown" ", and at the same time, it is also used to ensure that you will not be treated unfairly in the "Dark Cuisine Showdown"...

Only cooks with "dark kitchen utensils" will be protected by all ingredients.

"Spiritual kitchenware" itself is an extremely powerful "dark kitchenware" with special abilities.

And "dark kitchen utensils" of the level of "spiritual kitchen utensils" are rare, but the general "dark kitchen utensils" were the standard equipment for successful cooks...

Some "dark kitchen utensils" also have their special functions, or are relied on by cooks for other reasons.

Usually cooks who rely on foreign kitchen utensils for a long time may awaken their "cooking heart" to cooperate with corresponding kitchen utensils.

But Alice's "cooking heart" is different. She is not applicable to a certain "kitchenware", but can take effect on all kitchenware in the category of "mechanical equipment"!

That's right, in a broad sense, the equipment used for cooking can also be regarded as a kind of "kitchen utensils".

Usually, cooks of the new molecular cuisine school rely too much on equipment and formulas, and their concentration on ingredients cannot reach the level of food taste, making it difficult for them to make achievements in spiritual cuisine. At the same time, at this stage The equipment cannot reach the level of a real top chef, so the development is limited.

And Alice just completed this leaping step!

Alice's kitchen heart can take effect on any equipment. When it is in effect, it is as if another "self" has possessed the mechanical equipment. Not only can Alice sense the processing effect of the ingredients under the equipment in real time, but also When the heart of the kitchen is in effect, you can also control the equipment more precisely...

To put it simply, although the current Alice does not have super-tactile or super-smell senses, Alice can also perfectly use the equipment that Liu Maoxing used to cook "Flame Roasted Suckling Pig" during the autumn selection competition last year!

Alice, who has completed the "New Molecular Cuisine", is a historic progress, and it can be said that she is at the forefront in the field of "New Molecular Cuisine", which has not yet been perfected.

"New molecular cuisine... As long as you have a kitchen heart that can better control the equipment, can it be enhanced so much?" Liu Maoxing couldn't help but wondered.

At this time, Liu Maoxing, Erina and others had already returned to the hotel, and Liu Maoxing was taking time to be alone with Erina.

"I don't know, your 'technology', after combining with cooking, did produce some strange things." Ling'er said.

"Eh? I don't know? That's right... After all, molecular cuisine only emerged in modern times. At that time, you..."

"I don't know what I said, I don't mean 'molecular cuisine'. Although the names are different, when the two major civilizations of 'Atlantis' and 'Lemuria' were still there, there was already the concept of 'microscopic cuisine'." It's top-notch!" Ling'er corrected.

In fact, Linger is not ignorant of "molecular cuisine". When the two ancient civilizations were still there, "microscopic cuisine" was one of the culinary schools that flourished at that time...

However, the "micro-cooking" at the beginning also relied on the chef's own culinary heart to sense and cook at the micro level, and there were not as many auxiliary equipment as now.

Upon hearing this, Liu Maoxing asked: "Then, is there any explanation for Alice's situation in 'Microscopic Cuisine'?"

"Yes, cooks of the micro-cuisine style usually have to master the culinary mind first, because the five senses of human beings cannot perform micro-sensing, and they must have a corresponding culinary mind. Being able to sense the subtleties is equivalent to getting started in 'micro-cooking' , and when the basic skills of 'micro cooking' are well mastered, the cooks of the micro school will make a big leap...

I'm not sure if that's the case, but I speculate that Alice's situation should be similar to this. " Linger said.

"Wait! Alice's situation should be the opposite, right? There is nothing wrong with Alice's basic culinary skills, but her 'heart of cooking' has just awakened..."

"But don't forget that the current 'molecular cuisine' is similar to the original 'microscopic cuisine', but the process is also the opposite! You use equipment to achieve microscopic cooking of ingredients. This is the ancient civilization. In the "micro-cuisine" genre of "Chef's Heart", it is realized..."

"And Alice's heart in cooking is to make the operation of the equipment more refined, which is equivalent to perfecting the basic skills of 'micro cooking'?" Liu Maoxing immediately reacted.

It seems to be true!

In the period of ancient civilization, "micro cooking" also belonged to the technological flow.

It requires a lot of theoretical knowledge, and the two steps of "getting started" and "entering the room" have little gradual change and are difficult to achieve, which is equivalent to the existence of a bottleneck...

If you can't reach it, you can't get started or you can't stand out from the crowd. If you can reach it, you can become a first-class cook.

However, the modern "new molecular cuisine" saves one step because of technology, and Alice's culinary heart leads her to the second step, so she has made great progress!

Although it is impossible to compare with Dojima Gin, a top chef who is second only to "Dragon Chef", she is no longer inferior to any veteran Samsung chef, and the topic of "future" is also beneficial to her. Alice's victory can be said to be unexpected and reasonable...

However, unlike Liu Maoxing and Erina, Alice's next step is entirely up to her to figure out.

"What about you? Does 'his' dish already have the dragon level?" Liu Maoxing couldn't help asking.

"That's right, fortunately Ling'er taught me the method of 'will resonance' to defeat 'him'." Erina's tone was also a little thankful, it seemed that the process was really thrilling.

"Wild resonance? What is that?"

"A rare state, that is, when the diners taste the food, when the diner's own will is highly unified with the cook's will, it will form a superimposed effect on the will of the food..." Erina said.

Afterwards, Erina also explained that the "five flavors" of her cooking were blocked by thistle, which stimulated the instinct of diners to sympathize with the weak, and when she finally used the "sixth flavor" to break through all the obstacles in one fell swoop, the judges would also be there. The feeling of the environment!

Immediately, psychologically, the deliciousness of Erina's "Eggs Benedict" exploded...

Ling'er interjected at this time: "If I read correctly, the heart of that little female chef with two buns on her head, if she continues to grow in the future, may become the role of guiding the 'will resonance'." heart of the chef."

"Small guy?"

"Two bags on top of your head?"

Liu Maoxing and Erina thought together for a while before they realized what Linger said, it should be Yuji!

Looks like that's what abduction lollipops do... to lure the diner's will into one's side?

"Okay, tomorrow is the final 'Final Showdown'... You can relax a little bit, I will help you win back if you lose." Erina said in a seemingly casual tone.

"I think it's better to be self-reliant..." Liu Maoxing couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

If I lose this time, don't even think about straightening up again in the future, right?

"Ling'er, what's the matter with you?" Liu Maoxing felt that Ling'er's mood today was a bit inconsistent, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"It's nothing, I just think you've lost, but in fact you've already achieved it. It's the result I wished for at the beginning." Ling'er said after being stunned for a moment.

Indeed, even if they lose in the "Final Showdown" tomorrow, it will only be poultry and animal aquatic products that will disappear from the human diet.

"Don't worry! Then I will also fight for the human right to eat poultry and seafood." Liu Maoxing joked.

Of course, in fact, now is not the time to relax, what Erina and Linger said is just to let him go into battle lightly and reduce the pressure.

All animal aquatic products and poultry will "say goodbye" to humans within two years. How much impact will it bring?

At first, there will be a large number of poultry and aquatic poisoning incidents, and then people who live on poultry farming and aquaculture will collapse directly. If countries and regions that use these two as their main food materials will collapse as a whole...

Although if the three major culinary organizations respond positively, only two "cursed" kitchen utensils will take effect, and poultry and aquatic products will disappear from the human diet. There is also a certain chance that the outbreak of the hunger war can be prevented.

After all, although it is pessimistic not to be able to eat chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, as long as there is timely support from other staple foods to prevent "hunger" from spreading, it will not make people go out of "war" in despair.

However, the economic depression, the public security chaos caused by panic in some areas, and the subsequent adjustments in dietary nutrition are all losses that civilization must bear!

And even for his right to eat chicken and fish, Liu Maoxing has no reason not to go all out...

Afterwards, Liu Maoxing also saw Alice's "cooking heart". Indeed, it looked like a nine-point similar to Alice's appearance, but with long hair and an expressionless female image.

Alice also excitedly mentioned the match in the morning to Liu Maoxing. Luckily, Liu Maoxing had also listened to Erina's description before, so she wouldn't reveal that she didn't watch her match!

When I finish saving the world tomorrow, I will definitely watch your matches again carefully... Liu Maoxing silently promised in his heart.

That afternoon, Liu Maoxing's mood was as if he had reached the final stage of the high school entrance examination, leaving only the last two subjects of politics and history that he had memorized by heart.

The heart has let go of most of it, but it is still a little bit, the feeling that I can't completely relax...

"'All? Blue' semi-finals, the individual match between 'Germinate Team' and 'Dragon Chef Alliance Team' will start in fifteen minutes, now invite players from both sides to enter!"

At 9:45 am the next day, the master of ceremonies announced the start of the competition...

Accompanied by the emcee's voice, you can see that Liu Maoxing and Lin Yi have entered the field of "Sun" respectively, Shinomiya Kojiro and Xie Yunlong have entered the field of "Moon", and Ganri Box, Xingping Seiichiro , it entered the arena of the 'Stars' topic!

"Huh? Erina, are you here to watch the game this time?" Yuki asked in confusion.

"Well, anyway, the title of the final has not been announced yet..." Erina said.

In fact, it was because the last two dragon chefs affected by the "curse" were both on the field, so Erina could naturally appear in the audience with confidence.

"If Ah Xing wins this time, our Yuanyue department will lock the championship and runner-up in advance..." Dawu said excitedly.

"However, it is not so easy for Ah Xing to win. The one he is fighting against from the Dragon Chef Alliance is also a 'National Treasure-Level Sword Master', and is also a long-established celebrity chef and the chairman of the Dragon Chef Alliance..."

"What's the matter? Ah Xing and Erina, didn't they also win all the Michelin stars and Brahmans before?" Dawu has confidence in Liu Maoxing.

For ordinary people, these two games are indeed considered "dark horses". As for the match between Erina and Nakiri Ji, in the eyes of ordinary people, because Erina won the president of the Brahmin Tasting Association before, Moreover, Nakieji had been keeping a low profile in order to plan Yuanyue before, and his reputation was not great, so in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a "evenly matched" duel. The extra is just something to watch.

"President Lin, please give me more advice." Liu Maoxing tried a word.

But as expected, all of Lin Yi's personal emotions have been completely suppressed by the "curse"!

Not only did he not respond to Liu Maoxing's words, but he also activated the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" effect, causing Liu Maoxing to once again have the illusion of being separated from the outside world.

This kind of feeling that there is only this duel in front of you in your own world is actually very uncomfortable!

But this time when Liu Maoxing looked around...

"Huh?" Liu Maoxing let out a small gasp.

Because he found that although the "painting style" of the outside world has changed, it has become black and white again, and the sound cannot be transmitted in, like a background painting, but... there are a few exceptions!

One is Erina, who is still in "color" at this time, sitting in the auditorium and looking at herself.

Also in the auditorium were "Color", as well as the president of the Michelin Gourmet Federation and the Brahman Tasting Club who had regained their strength, and Xie Yunlong who was in another arena next to him at this time, and they were not affected at this time He even gestured to himself with a "V" hand...

It seems that Chef Long, who has been liberated from the "curse", can still use the power of "spiritual kitchen utensils", so he is immune to the shielding of "Dark Cuisine Showdown".

Liu Maoxing's topic here is "The Sun", which is more beneficial to his heart...

Of course, Lin Yi has his reasons for choosing Sun!

Lin Yi's second chef's heart is impressively in the form of a phoenix bird...

From Liu Maoxing's point of view, Lin Yi is always surrounded by a phoenix bird that seems to be burning forever, sometimes hovering around Lin Yi, and sometimes landing on the Guiyuan tree that is the heart of the first chef.

I don't know if it's because of the nature of the heart of the kitchen itself, or because of Lin Yi's strong will, Liu Maoxing feels that this is the hottest heart of the heart he has ever seen!

Ordinarily speaking, Liu Maoxing's third stage of "seeing" should be just a figure made up by the brain after the chain of "super-auditory" and "super-vision", but the closer he is to Lin Yi, the more Liu Maoxing feels that his own brain The phoenix that was made up exudes a scorching aura!

Taking "the sun" as the topic, there are many entry points, which can make it warm, illuminate, and even extend to the growth of all things... It can also start from its "hot" aspect.

At this time, Lin Yi's phoenix bird is actually very suitable for this topic...
