Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

At five o'clock the next morning, Liu Maoxing appeared in the kitchen early, because it was summer, so the sky was already bright.

Sure enough, when Liu Maoxing arrived in the kitchen, Chuangzhen and Joichiro were already excited about "eating halberds".

But for their father and son, this kind of "eating halberd" cooking confrontation is already commonplace... and Wen Xu and Yi Sehui are also there.

"Okay, if you count Ah Xing, it's just right! No problem, right? Mr. Shiro Ichiro." Yishihui said happily.

"Of course it's no problem. Yesterday I also promised this kid to show him something interesting! In this way, the judging will happen to be an odd number... But it's okay to have an even number, anyway, there can be no tie. "Joichiro said confidently.

It seemed that they were distressed just now because there were only two judges, Wen Xu and Yi Sehui.

But Chuangzhen said very dissatisfied: "Huh? Don't underestimate people! Be careful to be surprised by my growth in the past two months!"

Seeing Chuangzhen's confident appearance, Shiroichiro couldn't help but said: "Really? You have lost to me 500 times since the sixth grade of elementary school, right?"

"No way! Only 489 times!" Chuangzhen retorted.

"Seeing how confident you are, I thought you had already forgotten..."

Wen Xu couldn't help urging: "Okay, since there are already three judges, let's start quickly! Let me think about the topic... just use a ready-made one! Let's use 'Breakfast' as the topic, and remind you in advance, here is There is an elderly person!"

"Also, Ah Xing, you wake up very hard today, don't you usually sleep until noon on weekends?" Yisehui asked.

"It's not so much the hard work, it's actually because I slept enough on the bus, I just took a little rest last night and didn't sleep." Liu Maoxing said honestly.

After Chuangzhen heard it from the side, he couldn't help muttering: "In this way, it is an old man, and there is a guest who hasn't slept all night..."

As they spoke, the two of them each chose the ingredients, while Liu Maoxing had been carefully observing Joichiro's movements.

At this time, Yishihui said to Liu Maoxing from the side: "It seems that this is the origin of creation... Since the sixth grade of elementary school, I have been fighting with Mr. Joichiro in cooking. Although I have experienced 489 total defeats, I am indomitable The spirit, and the tenacity of continuous pioneering and innovation, have been rooted in the soul of his chef."

"Indeed, Senior Yise may not know that there was a self-assessment for breakfast during the 'Residence Training' earlier, when Chuangzhen..." Liu Maoxing and Yisehui talked about the incident at that time.

Because there is nothing to see here, purely from the cooking steps, he is still not going to use "super class" cooking skills.

Even so, after including the "culinary heart", it can also make people enjoy the enjoyment not weaker than tiger-level cuisine.

It is also impossible for Liu Maoxing to rate purely based on cooking skills, because what the judges of "Food Halberd" have to do is to choose the dishes that they think are more satisfying to them, and they don't need to consider the difference between cooking skills and cooking skills!

Fifty minutes later, Chuangzhen took the lead and served three plates of golden rice to the three of them...

"I've been waiting for a long time! Apple risotto, please use it!" Chuangzhen said energetically.

"Oh? It's actually seasoned rice? Chuangzhen's cooking skills are really good from everyone's strengths!" Yisehui sighed.

"Eh? Is seasoned rice something special? Is it not eaten by ordinary people?" Chuangzhen asked doubtfully, as if he didn't know the name of "shengjian" at the beginning, but he knew how to use it.

"This... Usually in Italy, ordinary people would cook risotto!" Yisehui explained.

Yes, risotto, also called risotto, is a common dish in northern Italy. From the cooking method, it can also be called "rice stew".

Compared with "Spanish risotto", although raw rice is also used in stewed rice, meat and fungi are often used as side dishes, and spicy seasoning is not used, but butter and cream are used for seasoning.

Compared with "risotto" which is directly covered and cooked after adding soup, cooking "seasoned rice" is more troublesome. After frying uncooked rice with butter and olive oil, although it will also add broth, but once The amount should not be too much, and then do not cover it, but keep stirring during the stew until the unabsorbed broth evaporates, then add the broth again, and cycle until "raw rice stewed into mature rice"!

"So this is Italian food!" Chuangzhen realized at this time.

"However, it's quite special to use fruit to make seasoning. The smell can stimulate appetite." Wen Xu said.

Liu Maoxing interjected at this time: "Rather than saying that it is special, it is better to say that it is returning to the ancestors... The predecessor of risotto is Majia rice in Chinese cuisine, which was brought back to Europe by Marco Polo during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

The emergence of Majia rice is because of the frequent droughts in the land of China during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and the people often had food without water, so a family surnamed Ma created a dish that uses the water in vegetables to stew fried raw rice. cooking method.

It is a pity that although it was popular in the south for a period of time, it was only a special period dish after all, and did not have any significant development in the future, and was finally submerged in the long river of history. On the contrary, after Marco Polo brought this method back to Europe, because of the different fruits and vegetables in the two places, it gradually developed into a "seasoned rice" stewed with broth. "

As if hearing the regret in Liu Maoxing's tone, Yishihui couldn't help but said: "I think that although Majiafan failed to develop into a famous gourmet dish, it is already successful enough! A Xing also said that the founder The purpose is to make the compatriots affected by the disaster able to eat, so this kind of cuisine was created, right?

Although the taste will not be as good as the risotto we eat today, but the things contained in the dishes must be more precious than "delicious"! "

"That's right, what Marco Polo said... When he returned to Europe, it should be the end of the 'Eighth Crusade' and the devastation. Rather than saying that what he wanted to bring back was a delicious dish, it would be better to say that he wanted We must bring back the spirit beyond 'delicious'." Wen Xu also said.

At this time, the three of them also officially began to taste the "apple risotto" in front of them. From the appearance, apart from the two slices of fried bacon, there were many scattered apple pieces on the golden rice.

Liu Maoxing put a spoonful of risotto mixed with apple chunks into his mouth, and tasted it carefully...

The sweetness of apples and onions, thanks to the fruity aroma, immediately spread in Liu Maoxing's mouth!

There is also a slightly sour smell, which makes Liu Maoxing, who has not slept all night, also whet his appetite.

"The tiredness that came from not sleeping all night has been completely awakened!"

"There is also the taste of apples that can still be 'cracked' in the mouth, and onions that have been stewed until they are soft and rotten...the sweet and sour flavor is completely spread in the whole plate of risotto!"

Liu Maoxing and Yisehui were immersed in the refreshing taste of the risotto.

Although it's not like the two of them have never eaten more delicious food than this, and even had Joichiro's food last night...

But as a cook, if you can't even enjoy the deliciousness brought by the cooking, you are not competent enough!

"There is also the black pepper next to it, Ah Xing, you have a strong taste, right? I remember you still like to eat fish-flavored shredded pork in the morning, you can try adding some! It will have a completely different enjoyment!" Chuangzhen reminded.

Liu Maoxing couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "How did you find out that I like to eat fish-flavored shredded pork in the morning? Obviously I was forced to do nothing, okay..."

Although he said so, Liu Maoxing still picked up the black pepper seasoning bottle on the side and sprinkled some on the seasoned rice.

Yishihui and Wenxu also did the same...

Sure enough, after adding black pepper, the taste of apple risotto became more impactful!

The combination of pepper flavor and apple's sweet and sour taste makes the originally bland risotto more layered!

"As a breakfast, it is indeed a satisfying work!" Yisehui said affirmatively.

"Indeed, I feel like I'm twenty years younger, as if I've returned to the age of seventeen or eighteen!" Wen Xu forcefully miscalculated.

"...I always feel that what you said, Wenxu Maria, seems to be weird." Liu Maoxing said helplessly.

Shiroichiro didn't intend to interrupt them at all, until the three of them each ate half a plate of seasoned rice, and after they had tasted the taste deeply, they calmly served their dishes.

Generally speaking, the party who comes first has the advantage of being "preconceived", but at the same time, if the latter delivers the dishes immediately, the judges may not have a deep enough taste for the dishes of the first party, unless the judges After taking a bite, I couldn't help but ignore the rest of the dishes, but savor it thoroughly...

That's why it is said that when eating halberds, it is best to choose dishes that can make people feel most of the deliciousness at the first bite, which is the so-called impactful dishes!

But Joichiro didn't care at all, and only served his own dishes at this time. Unlike Soma's plates, Joichiro's dishes consisted of three bowls.

And from Shiro Ichiro, Liu Maoxing and the three of them could feel that he exuded an aura that could tear Chuangzhen's "apple risotto" apart and step directly into the bottom of the valley with one foot!

"What a terrifying man, he deserves to be the one who let his son suffer constant blows when he was in the sixth grade of primary school..." Wen Xu sighed.

Ordinary fathers usually give way to children who are still in elementary school, right?

At this moment, Wen Xu felt the aura of "Sura" on Cheng Yilang again!

"Are you going to show your aggressive side?" Wen Xu muttered, she didn't know that it was what Shiroichiro promised Liu Maoxing yesterday.

"I've been waiting for a long time, this is specially made by Joichiro... Well, it's called 'Yanma King Ramen'!"

I saw three bowls of ramen with thick noodles stacked on top, placed in front of the three of Liu Maoxing...

"La, Ramen? Judging by the richness, it seems that it is still made of thick soup... For Granny Wenxu and A Xing who has not slept all night, is it a little bit reluctant?" Yisehui couldn't help but wondered.
