Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Indeed, some students who have not yet passed the test are going to follow Liu Maoxing's example and try to boil cabbage and tofu directly in plain water!

Alice sneered at the students who were about to imitate: "Hehe, you mediocre people, do you really think that this is boiled cabbage and tofu? And why do I only have two hours of delay? If it weren't for the old man's malicious bias , do your dishes match my chicken broth?"

Hearing Alice's words, several students who had slandered her behind their backs couldn't help turning around in embarrassment...

And Miyamoto said solemnly at this time: "It's very delicious, it reminds me of my youth, but in terms of deliciousness, maybe your refined clear soup is even better than that of the old man! And the clear water The color is also a proof that this refined clear soup has reached the highest level!"

Liu Maoxing instinctively felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the old man Miyamoto's words, but after hearing what he said later, he explained it accordingly.

"That's right, the soup base of this soup dish is the refined clear soup, which is the top soup, or the three-hanging top soup."

"Sangiao soup? Is it... those whole chickens?"

"Yes, at the beginning, I used the whole chicken to re-enrich Alice's clear soup base, then I took the chicken out and stuffed it with rinsed enoki mushrooms and other fungi, and used the whole chicken to cook again. The filler adsorbs impurities once.

However, no matter how clean the fungus is, it will add some new impurities, so after lifting the chicken for the second time, I chopped two of the whole chickens into minced chicken, and filled the minced chicken with the other three chickens In the process, using the adsorptivity of minced chicken, the impurities are adsorbed again.

As for the end, I also use the protein purification method to sprinkle the raw protein into the soup, and then the protein will be wrapped in the final impurities and oily smell, and it will settle after solidification... In Chinese cuisine, the process of filtering clear soup into refined clear soup, It is called "hanging soup", and the soup base of this "Jade and White Jade Soup" is Sanhang clear soup! "

However, the ingredients are a bit "shabby". Compared with the "Pearl, Emerald and White Jade Soup" that Zhu Yuanzhang ate when he was a beggar in the legend, there are less spinach and broken crispy rice. There are only two simple ingredients of "Jade and White Jade".

At the beginning, Liu Maoxing also wanted to be like Luo Ke, stuffing some precious mountain and sea goods into the whole chicken and finally presenting them, but he found that there were no dry goods in the cooking room. People run out.

The umami taste of the top soup is too strong, it is not suitable for drinking directly, and if there is no dry product that can "compete" with it, ordinary ingredients cannot control its taste...

At this moment, Liu Maoxing remembered the vegetable and tofu soup that Miyamoto had mentioned!

Taking advantage of the trend, I thought that since I couldn't find the corresponding high-quality ingredients, if I was "fighting" with chicken top soup, using light ingredients as a scabbard to restrain the umami taste of chicken top soup is also an option!

So Liu Maoxing simply took some cabbage and tofu, chopped them into cubes, put them in the chicken soup and cooked them, and handed them over.

Sure enough, Miyamoto's "Vegetable Tofu Soup" should also be cooked with some kind of broth, rather than really boiled with vegetable tofu...

Miyamoto's reaction after tasting it was also in line with Liu Maoxing's expectations. After all, the original "Chicken Top Soup", like "Bouncing Turtle Soup", is a "super two-star" dish.

Although Liu Maoxing used cabbage and tofu instead because he didn't get the dry goods, the essence of this dish is already in the soup, so it still barely maintains the "super two-star"!

With the addition of "favorite points", Miyamoto's reaction was expected...

At this moment, Liu Maoxing suddenly frowned, and muttered: "Barely 'super two-star'?" He said and looked at Miyamoto suspiciously.

But it was interrupted by Alice immediately, and Alice rushed up angrily, patted the table and said to Miyamoto: "Is this what you said before 'missing important things'? Yes, I admit that after processing, the soup The taste is better, yes, maybe I have filtered out some things that should be used before... But my chicken broth still tastes better than those mediocre ones? It's just your wishful thinking that it can't be improved or anything like that! "

It seems that because of being ridiculed before, Second Miss is very angry now, as if she wants to seek justice.

"The old man has already explained that it is precisely because your cooking has no room for improvement that the old man judged it as a failure. The old man can taste it, and the part that has been used has reached 'perfect', while the defective part It is impossible to appear out of thin air, and naturally it cannot be made up..."

Old man Miyamoto’s explanation sounded very reasonable, but Alice sneered and said, “It’s really an old man who doesn’t understand anything! There is no room for improvement? Hehe, indeed, due to the limitations of technology, my cooking does filter Added something unrecognizable, but has an effect on 'delicious'.

But... technology is constantly improving! The theory of 'New Cuisine Science' will also become more and more perfect, unable to make progress? Do not make jokes! As long as you calculate what those things are next time, can't you make up for it later? It is your own brain that is rigid! "

Miyamoto was silent for a while, and then had to say: "There is indeed some truth to what you said..."

"It doesn't make sense! Are you too blindly confident? Knowing that you don't understand the 'New Cuisine' at all, you are still talking about 'impossible to improve'! The 'New Cuisine' will definitely replace the old one. Will prove who's really out of date! And you...just judge the deliciousness by the finished product!

Now let me ask you again, even without Liu Maoxing's 'Emerald White Jade Soup', would my work be qualified? "Alice said aggressively.

After all, the previous "failure" still hit her hard.

And after tasting Liu Maoxing's "Emerald White Jade Soup", Alice immediately understood that the other party's so-called "impossibility to improve" was fundamentally caused by prejudice against "new cuisine", and she was naturally very dissatisfied.

Miyamoto closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then said: "Well, I admit that your chicken broth is also delicious, it was because of my mistake in judgment before!"

"Hmph, even if you have the courage to admit your mistakes, you are not too proud! Remember to be more humble about new things in the future!" Alice didn't say anything more.

But after listening to Alice's words, Liu Maoxing suddenly remembered what he instinctively felt was "unnatural".

pride? modesty? "Already better"?

Liu Maoxing thought about the "disharmony" in Miyamoto's words, and hurriedly asked: "Chef Miyamoto, you said before that my cuisine is more delicious than the 'vegetable tofu soup' that you challenged the top ten. It's just a modest statement. ? You must know that I have absolutely no confidence in challenging the Ten Elites with this dish!"

Indeed, the current "Emerald White Jade Soup" is only barely a "super two-star", unless the opponent is a top ten who is very bad at soup cooking, it is possible to be defeated by this...

But since it's a competition for the top ten seats, it shouldn't be possible for the opponent to use cooking as a topic that they are not good at, right?

When Miyamoto heard Liu Maoxing's words, he was also slightly taken aback, and then looked at Liu Maoxing suspiciously, as if his question was stupid.

Alice couldn't stand it anymore, and replied from the side: "Chef Miyamoto is a student of the 49th class, and it was 40 years ago when he graduated. The development in the past 40 years is of course a factor that cannot be ignored!"

Miyamoto nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, cooking is either improving or regressing! Especially when you get older... It is also very difficult to catch up with you young people. .Okay, let the next student come up to judge!"

Only then did Liu Maoxing realize the speed of development of the culinary world.

Although I have heard it from various aspects before, it is said that since the last century, the culinary industry has entered an era of rapid development, but only now have some clear concepts...

Forty years ago, Miyamoto should have used the "Superior One-Star" cuisine to take the last place among the top ten.

And today, forty years later, at least "super three-star" cuisine can do it...

If "Zhonghua Yiyi" is really on the same timeline as the current world, that is to say, about 150 years ago, it would be difficult for the young boss to defeat him with "super one-star" cuisine, and his cooking skills were not enough. French chefs who have not reached the super level have already been praised by the French ambassador, and they are chefs who can "beep..." everywhere in the world!

Today, one hundred and fifty years later, at least a "tiger-level" chef is required to have such confidence, right?

Liu Maoxing suddenly realized that Alice had been staring at him...

"Eh? Is there something on my face?" Liu Maoxing felt awkward being stared at.

"It's nothing, I just heard that you have a good relationship with Erina recently?"

"If you want to understand it this way, it's not impossible..."

"Are you dating?"

"...Your thinking is too jumpy!"

Alice breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just say it! A person as proud as Erina, wouldn't just break it like this!"

"I always feel that your words seem to be rude."

"It's just your illusion!"

At this moment, the door of the cooking room was suddenly opened, and a tall college student came in, with a prickly hair, thick black bags under the eyes, and a pair of eyes that were very similar to the black bags. Matching, sleepy eyes...

It was obvious that she was also a student, but at this time, she walked towards Alice directly as if she hadn't seen Miyamoto and other students.

"Miss, these should be moved to your room, right?" Hedgehog said, pointing at the equipment with a sleepy tone.

"That's right...why did you come so late this time?"

"The instructor this time is so annoying. In one class, several dishes were tested, and he was not allowed to change the menu, which made me late."

Liu Maoxing always felt that he knew the mentor mentioned by the other party, and at the same time, he imagined the wonderful expression on Si Gong's face when he faced this guy who didn't wake up...

At this time, the hedgehog head seemed to have just seen Liu Maoxing next to Alice. You must know that Liu Maoxing is standing outside now. He had been talking through Liu Maoxing before!

"Huh? You seem to be one of the people that the lady said to be 'special attention'! By the way, when you meet someone who is 'special attention', you have to stand behind the lady and put on such a sideways posture, which is very helpful. ...Yes, it is very imposing!"

Hedgehog head was talking lazily, while squeezing past Liu Maoxing, walked up to pose behind Alice, completely oblivious to the fact that Alice had a black line on her hair...
