Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 40 Cold Food

The next day, Liu Maoxing and the others got up early, washed up and had breakfast on time. At 7:30, they had arrived at everyone's cooking room announced yesterday.

In Jixing Liao, Liu Maoxing and Yu Mei are both No. 7, which is a separate cooking room in the northern isolation area...

Sure enough, as soon as the two came in, they found that the mentor, or the examiner, was none other than the Empress of Mist, Gan Ryu Xiangzi!

At this time, Gan Ryuko was sitting on a chair, with tea and a pack of snacks that seemed to be sour plums.

Wearing a traditional apron, braiding a thick and long whip on his head, with a peaceful and sweet smile on his face, the so-called "Yamato Nadeshiko" may look like this.

"Okay, the time is up! So let's start today's practice now! I will sit here all the time, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything." Chef Gan said with a smile.

"As the chef, the subject... is still the same as yesterday?" A student asked.

Apparently not only Liu Maoxing and the others already knew about yesterday’s subject, but most of the students already knew about it, and they were also ready to catch some pheasants and wild ducks, not sticking to aquatic products. Some people even shared the recipes. It's already planned.

"Oh? Haven't I mentioned the subject yet? The subject is very simple, similar to yesterday's. Two people, using all the ingredients that can be obtained in this quarantine area as materials, make a satisfying... cold food! The time limit is Before 12 o'clock!" Gan Ri said to the sun.

"Cold, cold food? Isn't it Japanese cuisine?"

"Oops! I thought it was just a change of cuisine..."

"Cold food, is it those dishes that don't need to be heated, or cooked after heating, and eaten after cooling?"

Liu Maoxing also looked at Yu Mei in surprise. Before, they didn't expect that the test questions would directly change their eating habits!

"If it's served cold...is it 'sashimi'?"

"No! I'm sure everyone thinks of 'sashimi'! You have to be creative!"

"Then what else?"

"..."

Among the students in the No. 7 cooking room, they fell into entanglement again.

And Liu Maoxing, who observed Gan Rixiangzi carefully, always felt that Gan Rixiangzi, who had been smiling and looking at everyone, smiled even more heartily after seeing everyone's distress!

"Women are really scary!" Liu Maoxing couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"En? A Xing, what did you just say?" Yu Mei asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, let's plan first..."

The two discussed for a while, but there was no result. First of all, "sashimi" is not a last resort, and will never be considered, because more than half of the students will definitely present sashimi dishes!

Although in Liu Maoxing's hometown, many people think that freshwater fish has too many parasites and cannot be used as sashimi, but in fact, although this statement is not wrong, it is not absolute.

When sashimi first appeared in the land of China, it was mostly freshwater fish. However, it was precisely because it was unhygienic to eat this way, so it was gradually abandoned. After it was introduced to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, because They are near the sea, and sea fish have fewer parasites, so the method of "sashimi" has been passed down.

Freshwater fish can also be used as "sashimi", but we must pay attention to the cleanliness of the freshwater where the fish live, and have higher requirements for hygiene.

For example, carp among freshwater fish is the ultimate product that can be used in "sashimi", and there is no need to worry about the hygiene of the ingredients in the isolation area of ​​Yuanyue Resort.

"There is no result after such research. Go outside and see what you can find!" Liu Maoxing suggested.

Then, together with Yu Mei, they walked outside the door, and at this moment, the other three groups of six students all looked sulky in the same way, after meeting their eyes at this time, they also followed Liu Maoxing and Yu Mei walked out...

The well-behaved and virtuous Ganri Xiangzi seemed to see something, and glanced towards the door, but didn't say much, but continued to take a sip of hot tea: "Ah! It's so peaceful!"

And Liu Maoxing originally wanted to go around the isolation area with Yu Mei first to see what was there, but found that someone was following him...

At the beginning, Liu Maoxing thought it was a coincidence, but after following him from the cooking room to the hillside behind, even Yu Mei realized something was wrong.

"A Xing, it seems..."

"It's okay, there should be no surveillance here, let's go to some remote places!" Liu Maoxing said.

Yu Mei wasn't worried either, she really walked with him to a remote place.

"Here we come." Suddenly Liu Maoxing said.

I saw the bushes swaying in front of me, and three students holding wooden sticks I didn't know where to pick up, stood in front of me with a look of scorn.

Turning his head, three other people also held wooden sticks and blocked him from behind.

"Could you please stay here for three hours? We can accompany you, hahaha!" the leader of the students in front of him said in a ruffian way.

"No." Liu Maoxing directly refused.

"Boy! Don't be shameless! Do you want to stay here for three hours, or be beaten for three hours!"

At this moment, Liu Maoxing and Yu Mei said: "I will deal with the three in front, and you will deal with the three in the back!"

"Tch, actually I can do it by myself." Yu Mei licked her lips confidently.

Not long after, the three people standing in front had already thrown their sticks and fell to the ground, moaning. Liu Maoxing turned around and saw Yu Mei lifting a person over his head and throwing it at the other two... The corners of my eyes twitched involuntarily!

You must know that Yu Mei's talent, in addition to her "lips" that are sensitive to temperature and can measure high temperatures of 80 or 90 degrees, also has "strange power"!

"It would be great if Ruishan's subordinates only had this trick." Yu Mei said disdainfully.

"These should be cannon fodder..." Liu Maoxing said while gagging and tying up the six people.

Liu Maoxing didn't believe that Ruishan would be so naive, and as the ninth seat among the top ten, it doesn't make sense that his subordinates are weak!

But what Liu Maoxing and Yu Mei need to consider now is the recipe that needs to be presented to Qian Rixiangzi...

The two of them spent more than half an hour getting a general understanding of the things that could be captured and picked in the entire quarantine area, only to see Liu Maoxing said in a deep voice: "It seems that it is not enough... Wait! Got it! Okay, I know What should we do!"

"Huh?" Yu Mei looked over suspiciously.

Afterwards, Liu Maoxing told Yu Mei all the ingredients needed, and the two assigned tasks and went to collect them separately.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that the two returned to the cooking room. This time it was not too slow. Most of the students were probably still struggling with what to prepare.

Most of them came back at ten o'clock. Sure enough, as Liu Maoxing expected, the most likely thing everyone thought of was "sashimi", as well as salad dishes inspired by the vegetable and fruit greenhouses.

Although I know that other people will definitely think of these things, but in a hurry, it is difficult to plan other things.

In the end, almost half of the students brought back carp and crucian carp, and the other 30% brought back various fruits, vegetables and herbs.

The latter is more confident. After all, in the isolation area, there is no ready-made salad dressing, so they can only use various herbs to make a taste suitable for vegetable and fruit salad.

The rest, including Liu Maoxing's group, brought back all sorts of strange ingredients...

Oh, by the way, there are still three groups that haven't come back!

As soon as Liu Maoxing returned, he walked up to Gan Ri Xiangzi: "Senior Gan, you said before..."

"No!" Xiangzi Qianhyu seemed to be able to read minds, and instantly protected her tea and snacks.

Obviously, the lesson Chuangzhen taught her yesterday made her more defensive!

"Eh? Senior sister is saying that it's not allowed?" Liu Maoxing pretended to be puzzled.

Gan Ri Xiangzi took it seriously in an instant, and asked with a relaxed vigilance: "Didn't you want... ah!"

Just in the middle of the question, she lightened her hand, and it was Liu Mao who snatched the sour plum away from her hand.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! He was pulled away by Liu Maoxing.

At the same time, other people also saw the ingredients that Liu Maoxing had caught before, and each of them began to whisper... It was indeed a soft-shelled turtle!

That's right, before Liu Maoxing discovered that there were soft-shelled turtles in the creek!

However, the usual way of cooking soft-shelled turtles is to boil them into soup, and very few of them are stir-fried or braised in brown sauce, but they obviously do not fit the theme of "cold food". Moreover, the handling of live soft-shelled turtles is not a compulsory course for Yuanyue, and it is also very troublesome. , so no one has considered this.

But now Liu Maoxing just brought a soft-shelled turtle back, and quickly completed the work of slaughtering, bleeding, and scraping. His movements were smooth and smooth, without wasting any time, and even gave people a sense of efficiency and beauty!

At this time, Yu Mei completely turned into a kitchen assistant, crushing and mixing the vanilla collected back into various simple spice substitutes according to the ratio Liu Maoxing said, and pre-processed another thing they picked from the greenhouse. ...

When Yu Mei’s preparations and auxiliary work here are all completed, Liu Maoxing has already cooked the soft-shelled turtle, and began to cook the soft-shelled turtle with an appropriate amount of water and a certain amount of substitute spices prepared by Yu Mei. up!

"The time is a bit rushed, but it should be in time..." Liu Maoxing said confidently.

And at this moment, the last six students came back, crying to Qian Ri Xiangzi as soon as they entered the door, as if Liu Maoxing had bullied them...

The other students despised these idiots, how could six of them be bullied by two? Someone also sneered secretly, hoping that Xiangzi Ganri would deal with this guy Liu Maoxing and let him drop out of school directly!

Unexpectedly, facing the complaints of the six people, Gan Ri Xiangzi said with a full smile: "I said to use ingredients from the quarantine area to make a cold food that satisfies me...Did you say that you can't fight?"
