Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"That means you can taste the cooking of the six professional chefs of the resort first?" Liu Maoxing successfully blocked all useful confidence...

"...You can also say that!" Guan Shouping said helplessly.

Seeing that Dojima brought six people, two more than originally expected, there were waiters immediately on the scene, and two chairs were added to the judging table. The dishes prepared by everyone else were prepared according to Jiufen. I am not sure how many reviewers there will be, I only know that it must be in single digits.

When they saw a total of seven reviewers, those who participated in the "apply" also became puzzled

"Huh? There are so many judges this time?"

"Ah! It's Shinomiya Kojiro, Mizuka Koko, Mizuhara Fuyumi..."

"Why are they here? Just for this audit? It took too much time!"

"By the way, now seems to be the time for Yuanyue's students to 'stay and study'? I miss you so much..."

"However, no matter how many judges there are, as long as they beat the chefs of the existing resorts!"

"By the way, there seems to be someone I don't know among the judges. Is that young man a celebrity in the culinary world?"

"do not know……"

The cooks who participated in the application couldn't help talking about it, and many of them were graduates of Yuanyue.

Afterwards, Liu Maoxing didn't know whether the rules were like this, or Dojima Gin deliberately made it more difficult for him. Before the tasting session started, he briefly said a few words. At the beginning, it was nothing more than thanking everyone for choosing to apply for Yuanyue Resort and other nonsense. , but the reviewers were introduced later!

From Shinomiya Kojiro to his deputy chief chef Hiromi Seto, I introduced them all. These people are indeed well-known chefs in the cooking world, and the chefs who applied for the job also looked at them with admiration...

And the last one introduced Liu Maoxing!

"...The next one is also my junior, Yuanyue's 92nd class student Liu Maoxing! Alright, starting from Brooke, the six chefs in the resort will present the cooking in turn! Let me see if you have made any progress! "Dojima Silver said.

Speaking of the six chefs in the resort, they have presented the dishes one by one.

When the other cooks heard Liu Maoxing's identity, they started discussing in a low voice...

"The class of '92? Isn't that the class that's 'staying for training'?"

"When will you be able to be a judge during the 'staying and training'? Is he one of the top ten?"

"No, I heard that this year's top ten should only be Ms. Nakiri Erina!"

Those who participated in the assessment couldn't help being very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but out of fear of being directly disqualified, no one dared to stand out for the time being.

Regarding the ranking of the six chefs at Yuanyue Resort, the seven judges have no disputes, and there is no difference from their current level...

As expected, the three third-class chefs were the last, followed by the two second-class chefs, the first-class chefs with the most delicious dishes!

Nothing interesting happened...

Liu Maoxing was already nakedly excited at this time, he didn't expect to have such benefits after completing the assessment ahead of time!

The best cooking of the three third-class chefs has already reached the level of "super three-star", while the specialty cooking of the two second-class chefs is already "super four-star". The strongest first-class chef of Yuanyue Resort , What was presented was the "Superior Five-Star" cuisine!

Previously, Liu Maoxing had only tasted "super three-star" dishes at the highest level, but he didn't expect to "open meat" here!

After tasting the cooking of a first-class chef, Liu Maoxing's cooking skills directly broke through the "intermediate four-star" and reached the "intermediate five-star"...

Liu Maoxing couldn't help but whispered to Guan Shouping who was beside him: "Senior Guan Shou, could it be... all the chefs in Yuanyue Resort are the third-class chefs at worst?"

If this is the case, considering the number of cooks in Yuanyue Resort, it would be too scary!

Guan Shouping also explained to Liu Maoxing: "If it's just 'chef', the most common one is 'third-class chef', but besides 'chef', Yuanyue Resort also has 'cook workers' and 'quasi-cooks'. The cooks who have passed the initial test basically have the ability to be 'quasi-cooks', but if they fail the assessment, they will not be willing to stay as 'quasi-chefs'."

Liu Maoxing later verified it with Guan Shouping, and sure enough, in the VIP self-service hall, those who are responsible for self-service dishes, that is, "high-end cuisine" are all from the "cook" level, basically "cooks" are specialized in several types Dishes, pushed to the level equivalent to the "advanced five-star" judged by the system, have little potential and development.

The "prospective chef" and "third-class chef" are responsible for the cooking of the order dishes in the VIP buffet hall, the "second-class chef" is in charge of the mid-level VIP restaurant, and the private ordering that can only be enjoyed by high-level VIPs is "first-class chef". Chef's handwriting,

Above that is the level of "Chef". They are already the pillars of the resort. Except for important occasions, it depends on their mood whether they make a move at other times. The top level is "Chief Chef" Dojima Gin. A lazy Bosi is also a "chef" in terms of level.

Regarding the ranking of the six chefs of the resort, the opinions of the seven people are completely unanimous, and the most important thing is the review of the applicants!

Guan Shouping also specifically reminded Liu Maoxing to pay attention to two things. One is that no matter whether it is passed or not, the details must be tasted, and it cannot be based on taste alone; Demonstrated potential as a cook.

Although Yuanyue Resort is recruiting chefs, not students, but cooks with great potential should be recruited as much as possible.

"Okay, let's start with applicant No. 1 and present the dishes!"

Following Dojima Gin's words, the part that really makes applicants nervous comes...

And Liu Maoxing's thoughts at this time were all looking forward to tasting a few more special-grade dishes, and he didn't realize that he now had a certain degree of power over the applicant's fate, nor did he realize that because his reputation was not obvious, but Almost all applicants questioned his power in their hearts!

"This is my improved version of Tom Yum Kung Soup, which is more in line with the tastes of guests from all over the world. I think it is very suitable for the international taste that Yuanyue Resort needs..." The applicant introduced himself.

However, no one listened. Guan Shouping had told Liu Maoxing a long time ago that there were only two points to be investigated...strength and potential. Others don't need to be considered!

The so-called improved version of "Tom Yum Kung Soup" in the seven small bowls was placed in front of the seven judges, all of whom ignored his explanation and began to taste it on their own.

The No. 1 applicant, whose name was not known, couldn't help but stop explaining in embarrassment, and at the same time glared angrily... Liu Maoxing took a look! After all, he didn't dare to stare at others.

Among the seven judges, six of them had a high degree of overlap in their actions. After a little taste, they put down the bowl or spoon.

Only Liu Maoxing was greedy and drank most of the small soup, and even swallowed the two shrimps in it!

"Tom Yum Kung Soup" also has a name as the name suggests, that is "Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup", which is a famous Thai dish. "Dongyin" means "hot and sour", and "gong" means "shrimp".

And among them, what can be remembered most by Sifang Laotie is often the word "spicy", because the authentic "Tom Yum Kung Soup" is made with "Thai Chaotian Pepper", which is known as the hottest edible chili pepper. The acid is derived from lemon juice.

Even for many diners from Asian countries, they can't stand the spiciness. Often outside of Thailand, the spiciness of this dish will be reduced to meet the needs of diners.

The idea of ​​the No. 1 applicant is exactly the same, using several kinds of fruity aromas including coconut milk, to cover up the spicy taste of the Thai pepper that has been reduced in dosage, so that it can be accepted by more people...

Dojima Gin looked around and saw that everyone had put down the tableware, so he said: "If you think that the cooking of the No. 1 applicant exceeds that of the sixth chef in Yuanyue Resort, please put the 'Tom Yum Kung Soup' in front of you." Take a step forward."

Hearing Dojima Yin's words, applicant No. 1's expression darkened. According to the application process, Dojima Yin would use his own judgment to compare the applicant's level with a manager sent by a resort.

The six resort chefs are all representative in their respective ranks, and the one at the bottom is undoubtedly the bottom of the resort's "third-class chefs"!

At worst, you have to surpass him to be considered a successful application, and if you surpass the first few managers, you will have better treatment after joining the job.

If you can surpass the third-ranked second-class chef, you can even be directly rated as a "second-class chef" for entry.

The rating of Gin Dojima is not the final result, and everyone needs to vote again. If you think you have surpassed the sixth chef, you will vote again whether you have surpassed the fifth, and so on.

If it is directly compared with the fifth cook, but the vote is not passed, it will be downgraded to the sixth cook, and the sixth cook is no match, so the interview fails.

And the No. 1 applicant also understood that Dojima Yin only positioned him in comparison with the sixth place, so he was obviously not optimistic about him.

However, I was still nervously looking forward to my cooking being able to surpass at least one of the original cooks of the resort, but unfortunately, no one moved after waiting for a long time. Obviously, none of the judges thought that his cooking surpassed the first one. Six cooks...

"Why, why! This is a recipe that I have carefully improved for three years! It must be more than enough to shine in the resort!" The first applicant said in disbelief, and then looked at Liu Maoxing with a questioning look!

Liu Maoxing also pointed at himself inexplicably, wondering why he came here specifically for me? It's not just that I didn't choose you... This is a hard gap in strength, okay?

But since people looked at it like this, Liu Maoxing said directly: "From the recipe, I can feel that you put great care into this dish, but obviously you underestimate Yuanyue Resort! Yuanyue Resort caters to guests from all over the world. That's right, but there is no need for a dish that can serve everyone! Instead, you need top chefs with various cuisines, and then provide dishes according to the tastes of diners!

An improved recipe made in three years? With your cooking skills, if you use it to study how to make "Tom Yum Kung Soup" taste more delicious, instead of how to make it a dish without characteristics, you will achieve even greater success! You just used three years to increase the audience of this dish and at the same time make its rating drop! "
