Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"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?" Gan Ri Xiangzi had a harmonious and beautiful smile on his face, but what he said was very dangerous!

"What, what? But...he beat us, yes! He also robbed us of our ingredients!" the leader, Xiao Huangmao, said nonsense.

"If you can't even protect your own ingredients, what kind of chef are you?" Qianri Xiangzi continued to smile.

"but……"

"There is still an hour and forty-five minutes. If you have given up, go and pack your luggage! Suck..." Ganri Xiangzi sipped his tea while talking.

Seeing that Qian Rixiangzi didn't care about it at all, the six people had no choice but to catch fish again immediately.

As a result, Liu Maoxing calculated the time well and asked Yu Mei to go out on time. Although it only took ten minutes, he harvested a lot of ingredients and returned, which made other students look sideways.

"It's really lucky! I picked up so many things!" Yu Mei said as a matter of course under the dodging eyes of everyone, and the six people had no chance to come back.

At this time, it was already eleven o'clock, and some groups had already started to present their works. After all, whether it was sashimi or salad, it was not a dish that would take too long.

However, few of the first batch of teams passed the pass. Luckily, Gan Hyuko’s rule is that before the time limit, it is enough to make cold food that satisfies him, so everyone is not desperate, and the unqualified teams will start a new one immediately. try...

However, there are not many tricks worth trying for sashimi, and the sauce is indeed a bit crude. Although there are mustard greens in the quarantine area, it is really not very good to only rely on grinding mustard seeds into powder to provide the taste of mustard sauce. Similarly, there is no ready-made soy sauce, and it has to be simulated by various herbs and salt. In short, everyone's sauce is very strange!

Liu Maoxing really couldn't stand it, and reminded him with sarcasm: "Just wanting to imitate soy sauce and wasabi is useless. It's just a sashimi that is close to the normal sauce and not as good as the normal sauce. I wouldn't even eat it if I replaced it." Will eat!"

"Isn't it just a simulation that doesn't work?"

"Indeed, the taste is not as good as ordinary sashimi..."

"Damn! It's easy for you to say, take care of yourself first!"

Some students grasped the key point from Liu Maoxing's "sarcasm", and some were narrow-minded and didn't hear the hints. Instead, they thought Liu Maoxing was making sarcastic remarks, and became even more resentful and irritable.

If you choose "sashimi" and "salad", you are already at a disadvantage. If you are obsessed with simulating normal sauces and sauces and set the goal as "as much as possible to reach the level of ordinary sashimi and salad", then It is equivalent to giving up!

Ganri Xiangzi didn't remind her, and after Liu Maoxing took the initiative to remind her, she didn't stop her either, and she still drank tea quietly in her seat.

Some of the students who realized the key, began to try one after another, using the existing herbs to prepare a satisfying sauce, instead of imitating ordinary sauce...

Because there is only a time limit, not a limit on the number of times, the ingredients collected by the students are not just one serving, they just need to go out and collect some herbs that they thought they would not use before.

With Liu Maoxing's reminder, many groups began to experiment, at different temperatures and with different spice ratios, to match the texture and taste of freshwater fish sashimi, and found some more acceptable recipes.

Gradually, the pass rate also increased. After submitting a few groups, half of them passed the assessment, and Qian Ri Xiangzi could continue the assessment if he failed, and the pass rate continued to increase.

Finally, at 11:55, Liu Maoxing's group, which received the most attention, took out their work... from the refrigerator!

Seeing Liu Maoxing take out a cantaloupe, the students who were busy with their own affairs and didn't notice Liu Maoxing's specific cooking process were a little surprised.

"Tch, what kind of soft-shelled turtle is made in an unconventional way! That kind of thing is suitable for cold food at all!"

"That's right, and he didn't give him enough time and complete spices. This kind of complicated ingredients...the stench must not go away now."

"I also got a cantaloupe? Are you trying to cover up the fishy smell with the sweetness of vegetables and fruits? What kind of flavor will it match?" Some students couldn't wait to sneer.

And at this moment, when Liu Maoxing passed by a student who had just failed another attempt and was no longer allowed to try and was determined to be eliminated, a stern look suddenly flashed in the latter's eyes, and he pretended to be careless, and turned to the student. Liu Maoxing ran over!

Although Liu Maoxing is now in good health, he never thought that someone would be so bold. Even though he was standing still, the cantaloupe in his hand fell to the ground...

"Ah!" Many students couldn't help but let out exclamations.

I saw that the part of the lid, which accounted for one-third of the honeydew melon, fell off after landing!

Someone had already guessed before that Liu Maoxing should have added soft-shelled turtle soup to the hollowed-out cantaloupe to prepare some kind of cold soup. Now that the cantaloupe had been thrown apart, he was shocked...

There are also some dark psychological ones, who instinctively let out a voice of gloating. I have long thought that this guy who is obviously just a transfer student, but likes to "point fingers" and always shows off is an eyesore!

"Yeah, I'm so sorry...huh?"

The student who bumped into Liu Maoxing was smirking and apologizing, but suddenly found that after the cantaloupe lid fell, nothing spilled out of it!

Originally, he himself had already been eliminated, so on the one hand, he was upset that other people passed, especially Liu Maoxing, who had always been eye-catching. On the other hand, he knew that Ruishan was looking for Liu Maoxing's troubles.

Ruishan Zhijin is not only one of the top ten, but also a well-known professional manager in the culinary world. He has countless resources in his hands. Being a little bit on his side will bring countless benefits to himself and the restaurant at home.

Therefore, he thought that since he was destined to drop out of school, he might as well take Liu Maoxing together, pretending to make a mistake and overturning his soup, only the last few minutes, not even enough to deal with the soft-shelled turtle again!

However, at this moment, Liu Maoxing looked at him with a sneer, and said with a dangerous smile: "It's okay, after all, we're leaving Yuanyue, and it's normal not to be here!"

"Yes, yes..."

Liu Maoxing didn't do anything else at this time, he just picked up the cantaloupe on the ground and checked that it wasn't broken or damaged.

The other students also raised their heads. Looking at the cantaloupe that Liu Maoxing handed over to Gan Ryuxiangzi, the inside was indeed hollowed out, but it was not filled with cold soup, but a deep orange-yellow colloid like jelly!

"This is... fish jelly?" Ganri Xiangzi recognized the "body" of this thing.

"Fish jelly? What?"

"I seem to have heard that it is a kind of Chinese cuisine..." The students also started talking.

Liu Maoxing explained: "Yes, it is also a kind of fish jelly, and it is also the collagen of fish. When it is boiled and cooled to below 25 degrees, the collagen fibers are cross-linked. It is a Chinese cuisine. The famous dishes of Zhejiang cuisine usually use carp and crucian carp. Of course, soft-shelled turtles rich in collagen are also available! I prefer to call this dish "bouncing soft-shelled turtle soup"!"

"Really? But senior, I prefer lighter dishes!" Kanhiko said with a smile.

Liu Maoxing always felt that she seemed to be prejudiced against herself since the time she "molested" Tian Suohui!

"Ha, then I don't think I will disappoint Senior Sister Gan."

Ganri Xiangzi picked up a spoon, scooped up a small piece, and gently put it in his mouth...

"Well……"

Kanhiko, who always had a peaceful smile, opened her eyes the moment she entered the "Bouncing Turtle Soup" and seemed to be still alive!

"This is... such a lively little turtle!" Ganri Xiangzi felt that the "turtle soup" really seemed to be bouncing, jumping around in his mouth.

And the taste is fresh and elegant, without any fishy smell as expected.

"How about it?"

There was no answer to Liu Maoxing's words, because after Gan Ri Xiangzi swallowed the first mouthful, he stuffed another spoonful into his mouth immediately.

"Jumping around! What a cute little turtle!" Xiangzi Ganri looked off-line, and he didn't know what hallucination was happening.

It seems that I saw a lively little turtle swimming in the rapids.

Liu Maoxing did not urge him, after all, it was already clear at a glance whether he was qualified or not!

After eating nearly half of the bouncing soft-shelled turtle soup in the cantaloupe, Ganri Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Did you steam the cantaloupe and soft-shelled turtle soup together? It actually covered up the earthy smell so perfectly... ..."

"That's right, and not only that, but also added this." In Liu Maoxing's hand, he was holding the sour plum that he had snatched from Gan Rixiangzi!

"Is it the taste of sour plums? No wonder..." Qian Rixiangzi also tasted the sour taste, but did not confirm it.

"It's a good idea, especially after you suddenly learned that you will be cooking 'cold food', and you can prepare such a complicated dish in an orderly manner, then you are considered qualified!" Qian Ri Xiangzi said.

"...Why do you feel so reluctant?" Liu Maoxing asked with white eyes.

Although the seasoning is made of vanilla, this "Bouncing Turtle Soup" does not require any seasoning itself. The essence is to use cantaloupe and sour plum to adjust the fishy smell and bring out the fresh and elegant taste!

After choosing this dish and getting all the ingredients together, Liu Maoxing believed that he had passed it. After all, this dish was made by Tang Sanjie in "Zhonghuayiyiyi", and it also has the height of "super two-star"...

As a junior brother in charge, Tang Sanjie is not brilliant, and in order to advertise for the "unified" "Ah Q bucket noodles", Tang Sanjie was tragically translated into a name that is so unacceptable as Ah Q in the animation, but after maturity He is also a highly sought-after super chef. In the confrontation with the dark cooking world, he also showed his strength than the average Chef Lin.

"Is there? By the way, I will reveal the performance of everyone here today to Food Weekly. Everyone, don't forget to read the next issue of the magazine!" Ganri Xiangzi said, and even took a special look at Liu Maoxing who had bumped into Liu Maoxing before. students.

The latter swallowed hard. If today's incident is included in Food Weekly, not only his personal reputation, but even the restaurant opened by his family will be shamed accordingly!
