Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

What Liu Maoxing meant was nothing more than telling him: Your so-called improvement only caused the rating of the cuisine to drop!

This made the expression of applicant No. 1 distorted angrily, but then Dojima Yin also said: "If you run your own restaurant, this improved 'Tom Yum Kung Soup' may be very popular, but Yuanyue Resort... ...There is no need for such dishes!"

Seeing that Dojima Yin and other people had the same opinion, applicant No. 1 had no choice but to put away his "anger".

There is nothing controversial about this cooking, because Liu Maoxing's rating from the system is only "Superior One Star", which is probably not as good as when he first tried it!

As Liu Maoxing said, he cares too much about making his cooking accepted by everyone, and regards it as his "weapon" to enter Yuanyue.

However, I forgot the important point. Yuanyue has top chefs of various cuisines, and does not need a certain cook at all, and can adapt to all diners.

Of course, his "improved version" would still be valuable if he ran a restaurant of his own.

Afterwards, from the second to the fourth applicants, the opinions of the seven judges were the same, and all of them were eliminated by unanimous votes, so that the subsequent applicants understood that even if they passed the preliminary examination, they were not only one step away from entering Yuanyue Resort. away...

Until the fifth cook, the opinions of the seven people diverged. Seki Shouping, Mizuhara Fuyumi and Seto Hiromi recognized his cooking skills, but Dojima Gin, Shinomiya Kojiro, Kanhiko and Liu Maoxing did not agree. Impressed.

According to the rule of "Food Halberd", the minority obeys the majority, and he was still eliminated!

But as the only applicant who had the chance to be selected from the beginning to now, No. 5 appealed against this result, and the target of the appeal was naturally Liu Maoxing, and there were very good reasons...

"Little...Judge Liu! Didn't you enjoy eating just now? You almost finished eating!" Cook No. 5 asked.

He was indeed unlucky enough, if Dojima Yin hadn't seen Sigong and Liu Maoxing halfway, he should have been selected 3 to 2 by now.

Controversy is inevitable. After all, according to Liu Maoxing's system rating, his cooking has barely reached the "Super Three Stars", which is comparable to the last one among Yuan Yue's chef representatives.

But Liu Maoxing finally did not choose to let him pass...

"It's really delicious. It's already similar to Brooke's cuisine. It's okay to let you pass it. But...in your 'Portuguese Stuffed Crab Cover', you should have used the matching spices?" Liu Maoxing's tone was In doubt, but the eyes are beyond doubt.

"I... yes, but what does this mean?"

Liu Maoxing's "proportion of spices" refers to mixing the various spices to be used according to a certain ratio before cooking, and then adding them according to the ratio of ingredients.

There is nothing wrong with cooking in this way, especially in family cooking, it is a very convenient and concise way.

but……

"It's really not wrong, but it makes you not make corresponding adjustments according to the individual conditions of the ingredients when cooking, and add various spices when cooking, and it is like mixing various spices before that They influence each other, and there is still a subtle difference in taste!

Although I believe you made those spice ratios, it undoubtedly reflects your lack of confidence in on-the-spot cooking... I even think you may still lack the sense of taste and smell that a first-class cook should have! Therefore, your potential should be reduced! Seeing that the question was on the head again, Liu Maoxing said bluntly.

And Dojima Yin also gave his own opinion: "I think Liu Maoxing has already given the question. If it is really difficult for you to improve your sense of taste and smell to the level that is suitable for cooking, you can try Go engage in the development of simplified spices for home cooking! Your spice ratio is really good, but it is not what Yuanyue Resort needs!"

The latter finally fell silent, and after bowing to the judges' seat, he left the stage lonely.

Indeed, when he was young, his tongue was injured. Although he has been tempered, his sense of taste is still superior to that of ordinary people, but he has never been able to match his cooking skills... Sure enough, perhaps it should be like what Mr. Dojima said, Go another way?

The other applicants who were originally dissatisfied with Liu Maoxing's status as a judge also put away their underestimation at this time.

"Everyone can stand here, they are already the cornerstone of the culinary world, cooks who can contribute to the overall improvement of the culinary world, but sometimes even in the same culinary world, there are different paths to choose, even I failed to enter the Yuanyue Resort, and I wish you all good food luck! Well, the next No. 6 will present the dishes!" Dojima Gin said.

Obviously, in Dojima Yin's heart, once someone can cook, which is equivalent to the "superior cuisine" in Liu Maoxing's system, he can more or less promote the overall progress of the culinary world.

In the same period of time, the more special chefs there are, the faster the overall level of the cooking industry will rise!

Therefore, it is called "the cornerstone", and the "advanced" chefs below are just enjoying the achievements of the overall level of the cooking industry.

Among the 33 final applicants, until the top 32 cooks had passed the review, only four of them passed the review!

Moreover, there were several times of controversial cooking after that, although the applicants did not ask any more questions about Liu Maoxing, but every time Liu Maoxing took the initiative to speak up, pointing out the problem of whether he passed or not...

This made both Dojima Yin and other judges, as well as the applicants, have a new understanding of the previously unknown Liu Maoxing!

"Okay, next is the last one, applicant No. 33, please present the dishes!" Dojima Gin said.

I saw a cook with a Western face presenting seven dishes covered with plates.

This in itself is not surprising. Among the applicants, there are quite a few foreigners...

But Liu Maoxing was a little distracted at this time. After nearly forty "special" dishes, his cooking skills have approached the peak of "intermediate five-star". He needs the last "introduction" of sufficient level to break through "advanced". Therefore, there is a sense of nervous anticipation.

The other reason is that after eating enough of Liu Maoxing's "special" dishes, he always feels that these "special" dishes are different from his own "special" dishes!

"Please enjoy my 'American Beef Satay Skewers'!" Chef No. 33 said confidently.

The overly confident tone made the other losers and finalists who still stayed to watch the judging, and even Yuanyue's cook and waiter frowned.

"Hehe, who does he think he is?"

"Probably because I knew I couldn't pass, so let's just vent..."

"Huh, it seems that only four people have successfully applied this time!"

The onlookers couldn't help talking in low voices, all of them were not optimistic about it.

However, Dojima Yin and the others were not distracted. First, it was out of respect for the duties of the "judges", and second, they felt a different aura from this cook than all the previous applicants! .

Liu Maoxing even felt that his momentum was similar to the fourth house when he accepted his "eating halberd"...

The seven opened the cover of the dinner plate in front of them, and then squinted their eyes at the same time... except Guan Shouping! His eyes are usually squinted enough, and now he can't tell the difference.

Only then did Liu Maoxing remember... that's right! It is the light of cooking!

Except for my own cooking, other people's cooking, I seem to have only seen it once on Erina's "Norwegian Langoustine Dumplings". Obviously, many of the dishes in the recipe exceed my own, but none of them have such an effect !

And at this time, a sound of a cow mooing, which seemed to come from the distant past, sounded in Liu Maoxing's "ears".

At the same time, as the golden light dissipated, on the dinner plate in front of everyone, there were three satay sticks on lettuce leaves, and a small dish of satay sauce. Besides the lettuce, there was also cold salad. Sushi.

Candidate No. 33 seemed to enjoy the surprised expressions of the judges...

As if realizing something, Liu Maoxing was the first to pick up a bunch and put it in his mouth!

The strong aroma of beef, accompanied by bursts of tropical fruit aroma, filled Liu Maoxing's taste buds in layers. At the same time, Liu Maoxing's mind recalled the system's notification sound.

"The host's culinary skills are "advanced one star", and he has ingested "tiger-level" cuisine, which meets the further opening conditions of the system... The system is opening... The rating has been optimized, and the additional conditions of the recipes are open..."

With the lingering fragrance in his mouth still lingering, Liu Maoxing browsed the changes in the system in his mind. Obviously, the cooking of applicant No. 33 made Liu Maoxing reach "Advanced One Star"! And its own rating actually surpassed the "super five-star"!

At this time, the system has also shown a higher rating. Above the "Superior Five-Star", there are three levels of "Tiger", "Lin", and "Dragon"!

Among them, just breaking through the special level is the tiger level, and the dragon level is the highest, and at the same time, there is no "star number" display for these three levels...

As for the opening of another "recipe with additional conditions", it also made Liu Maoxing understand why the light of cooking is so rare in other people!

It seems that it is not other people who are special, but Liu Maoxing himself! It is extremely rare for him to be able to make the "super one-star" cuisine shine!

To a certain extent, it is because his "super class" is completely piled up with culinary skills, which means that his strength is reduced to ten. Most of the others can't reach this level...

That is to say, in terms of cooking skills alone, Liu Maoxing's recipes did not show their full strength, because apart from "cooking skills", cooking also needs other things!

Most of Liu Maoxing's existing "Zhonghuayiyi" recipes have the upper limit of "Tiger Level", but "cooking skills" alone cannot reach it.

Mastering some specific cooking skills, or having specific other talents and abilities, can improve the level of recipes, but the most important thing is that most of the dishes that can reach the "tiger level" require "cook skills" that Liu Maoxing still cannot understand. Heart", while "Lin-level" cuisine all have requirements for "chef's heart"...
