Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Bag chicken, also known as seafood assorted chicken, is a famous dish of Chinese cuisine. It originated in Xiajin County. The most authentic recipe is to remove the bones and guts of a hen that is less than a year old, and then add winter bamboo shoots, sea cucumbers, scallops, pork, and sea cucumbers. Rice and other sixteen kinds of condiments, and then the chicken with all kinds of condiments, put in oil to fry, and finally add the prepared original soup!

Because the chicken after cooking in this way looks like a cloth bag, so it is also called cloth bag chicken...

That's right, there is one biggest difference from the "silk chicken rice" that Liu Maoxing made, that is, the ingredients in the bagged chicken are cooked in advance.

Otherwise, just relying on frying, not to mention that the chicken on the outside will be old after frying, the seafood, fungi, and bamboo shoots inside, if cooked by frying, obviously have the meaning of harming things!

The same is true for Liu Maoxing and Lin Yi's "Bag Chicken". The ingredients in it are all pre-cooked.

However, after pouring into the chicken belly, instead of frying, it is further boiled with the broth prepared in advance...

"Huh? It's a coincidence... Are both of you making 'pouch chicken'?" The judges said, looking at the two meatballs, one big and one small in front of them.

It was embarrassing that the two contestants in front of them ignored them...

"Hehe." The judges could only laugh dryly.

I saw Liu Maoxing and Lin Yi picked up a short-bladed kitchen knife at the same time, and cut open the "meat ball", revealing the inside...

At this moment, the other viewers who were too far away didn't see anything unusual, but the judges who were at a close distance suddenly felt a "hot" feeling and hit themselves in the face!

It is said that although the temperature inside the food will be relatively high, it should not be so obvious...

"This, this is..."

And at the same time, the judges were in a daze, as if they saw Lin Yi's "little meat ball" being cut open, and a legendary phoenix spread out from inside, and even the cry seemed to be right next to their ears!

On the other side, after Liu Maoxing's "big meat ball" was cut open, it seemed that the mud shell outside the original "fireball" had been peeled off, and a brighter and more dazzling light ball continued to stimulate the judges' vision.

As for the abnormalities of the judges, it seemed normal to the audience. After all, gourmets or ordinary people would have some abnormal expressions and behaviors when they tasted delicious dishes. This is a normal thing in this world.

Although they haven't tasted it yet, they must have been conquered by the "smell", right?

At this time, Liu Maoxing muttered with a serious face: "Sure enough...Master Lin's third-stage cooking spirit has also been fully displayed? It seems that it is really a dragon-level dish!"

That's right, the mirror image that the judges see now is not the light of the cooking, or the illusion caused by the smell, but the culinary heart in the cooking is too strong, which affects the consciousness of the people around them from the thinking point of view.

It is completely different from the involuntary "brain supplement" that Liu Maoxing used to use the strong duck meat aroma of "phoenix eggs" when he was eating halberds with Yu Mei...

It can be said that the scene in the "eyes" of the current judges is really "seeing" it, rather than "imagining it"!

Human beings rely on the retina to form images, but it is the brain that distinguishes the images!

This kind of situation may occur when under the influence of a strong enough chef's heart... Before tasting the cuisine, part of the will of the cook is presented in the brain!

Usually, this is an ability that only the heart of the third stage can possess.

Now the judges just felt that Lin Yi's cooking contained the heat and vitality like a nirvana phoenix, while Liu Maoxing's cooking seemed like a real sun...

Compared with what Lin Yi's cooking made them feel, Liu Maoxing's "sun" seemed to be more inclined to diffuse his own warmth and give life to all things, while Lin Yi's cooking was constantly exuding "self" vitality!

As you can see, Liu Maoxing's "sun" kitchen heart, at this moment, has also displayed the ability of the third stage kitchen heart to fully release the state!

Of course, it wasn't because of impromptu performances such as "Memory Killing", but because of a special feature of the "Sun" kitchen heart that Liu Maoxing discovered before.

Liu Maoxing's current "Sun" kitchen heart has only just reached the second stage after several victories in the "Commitment Showdown", and it was originally not enough to display such strength.

Just using the real power of the sun will only increase the "quantity" and increase the ability of purification, but it will have little effect on the "quality".

But "Sun" Chuxin has a special ability that Liu Maoxing has not discovered before!

That is the ability to absorb foreign fragments of will, which can temporarily explode beyond oneself...

And these foreign will fragments are naturally those won from the "command showdown".

Ordinary cooks, even famous chefs like Carlo, will fragments have little effect on the "sun". Only the dragon chef, their will fragments should contain complete information, so the increase in the "sun" is The most obvious!

After discovering this, Liu Maoxing had no choice but to give up using these "fragments" as textbooks to improve his cooking skills, and instead used them as "disposable" items, as fuel for the "sun" cooking heart.

Only this level of fuel can make the "Sun" kitchen heart show the level of the third stage kitchen heart in one breath!

"Ah! We can just come by ourselves...err...ahem...I mean let's start tasting too!"

Originally, when the judges saw Lin Yi and Liu Maoxing start to serve out the ingredients that were the real essence of the "Bag Chicken", they thought they were helping them to pack the food.

Although Liu Maoxing is in the limelight now, he is still a junior, and it is fine to help them deliver the food, but for Lin Yi, they are more modest.

Who knew that they were also self-indulgent, after Lin Yi and Liu Maoxing each dressed up, they handed each other the small plates in their hands, ignoring the judges' intentions at all...

Now in the small dish in Lin Yi's hand, there are dried dishes cooked with eight major seafood.

And Liu Maoxing's small dish contained some small pieces of poultry meat!

The judges who were self-reliant were also very surprised. Lin Yi had cut open the apricot chicken and put in the stuffing ingredients, but Liu Maoxing only made a small hole...

Why are the filling ingredients inside the fragrant mellow goose placed so neatly?

It seems to have been specially organized inside with invisible hands!

Well, people who don't have "Eagle Hands" certainly can't understand how nimble Liu Maoxing's fingers are!

And Liu Maoxing and Lin Yi also tasted each other's dishes at this time...

Ordinarily, this kind of mutual tasting session does not exist in the "All? Blue" rules.

But ever since Liu Maoxing brazenly "cheated food and drink" in the qualifiers, this kind of greed for cooking has been very praised.

In the following competitions, even in some competitions that had nothing to do with Liu Maoxing, there were examples of contestants tasting each other's works, as if this kind of behavior suddenly became a ceremony for chefs to show their quality, and it has become a trend, so now No one is surprised...

But if they observe carefully, they will find that Liu Maoxing's expression is obviously very nervous now, while Lin Yi is completely expressionless!

But no matter how he looks, Liu Maoxing has no other choice now, silently picked up a small piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth!

The cry sounded again in Liu Maoxing's heart, and even in an instant, Liu Maoxing felt himself spontaneously combusting, and even felt that the clothes on his body had been burned.

But there is no embarrassment caused by the half-naked road in my heart...

Of course, it wasn't that Liu Maoxing had suddenly awakened to some strange habit, but that he could feel that his heart was completely filled with the will carried in Lin Yi's four-bird bag chicken!

In Lin Yi's bagged chicken, in addition to bamboo shoots and mushrooms as auxiliary condiments, the "protagonist" is the meat of three different types of poultry, namely duck, goose and pigeon.

However, with Liu Maoxing's strong sense of taste, at this moment, he couldn't tell what kind of meat he was tasting.

Of course, this is also because Liu Maoxing's heart is now being impacted by Lin Yi's "cooking heart" will, if he is allowed to taste it slowly, he can still taste it!

But at least at this moment, Liu Maoxing only felt that what he tasted was a kind of poultry meat that he had never eaten before.

Three lives and all things!

Lin Yi used the meat of three types of poultry to construct a taste with infinite changes...

Coupled with the heart of the phoenix chef, it gives people a feeling full of heat and vitality. Even Liu Maoxing felt that he was tasting the meat of "Phoenix" for a moment!

Liu Maoxing even felt that his consciousness was dissipating, as if he was being burned up by the phoenix...

This is not only the effect of the cooking heart, no matter how powerful the "Huangniao" cooking heart is, it is not this kind of cooking heart that will bring harm to the diners, but the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" is in effect!

"Oops! The stakes in the 'Dark Cuisine Showdown' are no longer limited to human recipes... Am I also being affected?" Liu Maoxing suddenly understood.

Linger also reminded Liu Maoxing and Erina of this before.

However, because the previous "final duels" did not cause any consequences, the two subconsciously ignored this point...

In a daze, Liu Maoxing couldn't help looking in the direction of Erina, and beside her, Mito Yumei whose painting style had become black and white...

When I was eating the halberd with Yu Mei, I used the "Phoenix Egg", and I felt like I was eating phoenix meat instead of duck meat?

Unexpectedly, a year later, it would be his turn to taste "Phoenix Meat"...

The others in the black and white painting style are okay, they just seem a little nervous, after all they don't know what Liu Maoxing is going through, in their view, even if he loses this time, Liu Maoxing will just miss the championship.

And the worried look on Erina's face can no longer be concealed. With Erina's personality, even if there is something worrying about, it will not show on his face...

Although the distance between the two is not close, Liu Maoxing can clearly see the worry on her face!

Under the blazing fire of "Huang Niao", Liu Maoxing felt that his consciousness was gradually disappearing.

But at this moment, Liu Maoxing, who was still unwilling to give up just like that, finally recalled his own cooking when he saw Erina standing up excitedly with tears in his eyes!

In Liu Maoxing's heart, a round of red sun appeared above the head of Liu Maoxing whose body was almost burned out...

Under the sunlight, Liu Maoxing's conscious body regenerated little by little, gradually contending with the burning of the "phoenix bird"!

That's right, because Liu Maoxing's basic cooking skills have already reached the peak, and his heart of cooking has reached the third stage under the "fueling"...

At this time, Liu Maoxing, although not yet a real dragon chef, could already cook dragon-level dishes!

And dried seafood can also be regarded as the best carrier of the "sun" kitchen heart...

At this moment, the audience could only see that Liu Maoxing and Lin Yi, after tasting each other's dishes, became drunk and swayed. After about half a minute, the two stood still at the same time!

But what is different from before is that Liu Maoxing no longer has the tension on his face, and Lin Yi is no longer expressionless...

But... now Lin Yi's expression should be said to be Wei (meng) Miao (bi)?

At the same time, Lin Yi shook his head involuntarily, as if he hadn't fully accepted what happened before!

The situation is similar to that of Xie Yunlong.

Although Lin Yi didn't have the heart to "comfort the soul", so he wasn't able to detect the influence of the curse in advance, but in terms of physical strength, Lin Yi, who was in his prime, probably surpassed Xie Yunlong!

Also using the ability of "Chinese Cuisine" to accumulate gourmet energy, Lin Yi did not faint like others after receiving the minimum backlash from "Dark Cuisine Showdown"...

And just when Lin Yi wanted to clarify the previous matter, he suddenly heard a burst of noisy discussions.

Turning around, I saw five judges arguing about something...

"Are you kidding me? This 'Four Poultry Bag Chicken' perfectly displays the three... Ah no, it's the four flavors of poultry meat, creating a kind of delicious meat that has never been seen before... Just now Didn't you eat so much that you almost bit off your tongue? Now you actually say..."

"That's right, the four-poultry bagged chicken is also very good... But, I still think that this 'eight-treasure bagged chicken' makes people feel more comfortable after tasting it!"

"Haven't you tasted the wonderful taste experience brought by the combination of eight kinds of seafood and the unique musk of mellow wild goose?"

"I didn't say there's anything wrong with 'Eight Treasure Bag Chicken'...it's just..."

"Lasnow, which one do you think is tastier?"

"Don't make noise... I'm still thinking about it too!"

Obviously, the opinions of the five judges were very different at this time.

Liu Maoxing was not surprised by this. In the rules of the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" just now, he only relied on "burning" to understand Yunlong and Paul's will fragments, so he barely made a dragon-level cuisine and won in self-judgment barely...

And because the judges will be affected by subjective factors, it is normal to have differences of opinion at this time. Even now, even if Liu Maoxing narrowly lost in the competition, it is not so strange!

"It seems that the judges have some disputes about the results of this cooking, but it doesn't matter. Next, we will enter the voting session! Please use the buttons on the judges' seats to make your choice!" Master of Ceremonies At this time announced.

Of course it would be best if they could unify their opinions, but the reason why five judges were set up was originally so that at such times, the one with the most votes would win!

At this time, Lin Yi also gradually began to fully wake up, his slightly (meng) miraculous (bi) expression gradually changed to doubt, and he looked at Liu Maoxing with searching eyes.

Because he still maintains the previous memory, he can clearly feel it now. During the game... no, to be precise, before the game, his state was a bit wrong!

Xie Yunlong asked him before if he didn't like Liu Maoxing or something, which made Lin Yi more sure that he seemed to have encountered something indescribable... No, it should be said to be incredible.

This matter is related to Liu Maoxing, and Master Xie seems to know about it...

Lin Yi naturally understood that now is not the time to talk about these things, but just quietly waiting for the result of the game to appear!

As for the "Four Poultry Bag Chicken" presented by him, Lin Yi didn't have anything to say. Although he felt that he was in a strange state before, if he recalled carefully, his cooking was perfectly completed according to the plan...

At the same time, he still remembered the "Eight Treasure Bag Chicken" that Liu Maoxing had tasted for him before.

In the comparison in his own mind just now, between "Huangniao" and "Sun", Lin Yi was still shaken!

His "Huang Niao" brings the heat and "vigorous feeling" to diners, while Liu Maoxing's "Sun" is more inclined to give diners warmth and vitality itself...

That's right, although the "Huangniao" and "Sun" kitchen hearts have the characteristics of "vigor and vitality".

But "Huangniao" is more like showing its own vitality and amazing, while "Sun" is more inclined to give diners vitality!

Dried seafood, which condenses the power of the sun, perfectly carries these...

In the end, in Lin Yi's subconscious, the two are still indistinguishable from the perspective of "deliciousness", but when it comes to "deductive questions"...

Just when Lin Yi had the thought, "It seems that the eight-treasure bagged chicken is more suitable for the title", he felt a burst of weakness all over his body, and his personal emotions gradually recovered.

"Three to two! The final result is here! Liu Maoxing of the 'Germinate Team' narrowly beat Lin Yi of the 'Dragon Chef Alliance Team'! This also gave the 'Germinate Team' the opportunity to compete in the team competition in the afternoon!" the master of ceremonies announced road.

"Mr. Lasnow, do you really think the 'Eight Treasure Bag Chicken' is more delicious?" A judge who originally supported Lin Yi's dish was more delicious couldn't help asking.

They were always "2vs2" before, and there was another Lasnow who couldn't make up his mind, but finally voted for Liu Maoxing...

"It's really hard to tell the difference in terms of taste, but from the point of view of deducting questions, I think Liu Maoxing won..."

Sure enough, in the end, he really won the deduction question!

After the game, Lin Yi wanted to ask Liu Maoxing for something, but he was pulled away by Xie Yunlong. At the same time, he gave Liu Maoxing a wink, as if telling him to prepare for the "team competition" in the afternoon. He came to ask Lin Yi explain.

Liu Maoxing also realized at this time, judging from what the emcee said before, the results of the other two individual competitions should have come out?

Moreover, the result should be... 2:0?

If it's 1:1, there will definitely be a "team match" below, and it has nothing to do with the result of his match. If it's 0:2, that is, if the "Germinate team" wins a big victory, plus Liu Maoxing's game, there is no need "Team competition" is on!

Of course, it's a "team match", but I believe that in the afternoon, Xie Yunlong and Lin Yi will try their best to create opportunities for themselves to "single out" with Seiichiro.

However, during the break at noon, an argument that Liu Maoxing hadn't expected before broke out...

"What? Abstaining? How is this possible... Just now, people from the 'Dragon Chef Alliance' came to send a message, saying that they can change the team competition into a solo cooking showdown between Chef Xingping and A Xing, as long as they win this game , 'Germinate team' can enter the finals, why abstain?"

Yu Mei looked at Erina inexplicably.

Although Yu Mei is nominally a member of the Seed team, in fact, in her opinion, the Seed team and the Germinate team are undoubtedly "herself"...

So before Shinomiya and others questioned, she first questioned what Erina said just now!

"Not only the Germinate team, but I will also waive on behalf of the Seed team..." Erina said.

"Erina, did you catch a cold before..." Yu Mei couldn't help but put her lips on her forehead.

"Hey! What are you doing..." Erina rolled her eyes, as if saying: There are others here!

"Ahem, I'm just sensing her body temperature." After Yu Mei noticed that other people looked at her strangely, she immediately realized something and hurriedly explained.

Because the relationship between the two women is heating up day by day, this is how Yu Mei helped Erina measure when she had a fever before...

After all, Yu Mei's lips also have some "super-tactile" abilities, which can accurately judge the temperature, faster and more accurate than any thermometer!

But it's not suitable to do it in public, even if it's all girls...

"Okay, Erina... I understand what you mean, but I still have to try..." Liu Maoxing said.

"Try it? Do you think you can stop after trying it?" Erina questioned.

That's right, Ling'er has already sensed that Liu Maoxing almost put himself in the previous "Dark Cuisine Showdown"...

If Liu Maoxing lost at that time, he would have to pay the chips, including his own life...

After all, if Liu Maoxing and Erina win, they will try their best to suppress the backlash brought to each other by the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", but if the other party wins, they may not be treated like this.

From the previous situation, it was "absolutely no such treatment"!

Therefore, Erina can no longer watch Liu Maoxing's adventure calmly, anyway, there is only the curse of "Yonglin knife" left, at worst, everyone will stop eating aquatic ingredients in the future...

If it is for the survival of all mankind, then Liu Maoxing and Erina have no way to retreat, but now it is only for the right of everyone to eat seafood, Erina feels that it is better to give up!

"If you give up, almost all humans living along the coast will be affected, and countries that rely on marine resources will also experience turmoil...Even if humans are not destroyed, it will be more than enough to trigger a world war..." Liu Maoxing reminded Erina in a low voice .

Erina wrinkled her nose, and still said unwillingly: "Fight, fight...I'll go back and ask grandpa to move Yuanyue to Sichuan!"

Liu Maoxing naturally wouldn't take Erina's angry words seriously, rubbed her head and said, "You should rest assured and wait for my sixth capture..."
