Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Salmon, also known as salmon, was originally a common fish in Western food. Although there are wild salmon in Asian countries, there is no tradition of eating salmon.

It was not until modern times that island countries gradually imported and raised salmon, and it became one of the common ingredients for sushi and sashimi.

"By the way, the salmon in the Hokkaido fishing grounds should be Alaskan salmon imported from America, right? Kurokiba's hometown, Denmark, should eat Norwegian salmon from Northern Europe... Is it really okay?" Liu Maoxing wondered.

Although both are salmon, there should be a difference between the two.

However, after hearing the "combat form" Kurokiba Ryo, he was about to put his head wrapped in a turban on Liu Maoxing's forehead, and using his height advantage, he glared at Liu Maoxing from top to bottom and said, "Boy! Are you here?" Do you look down on people? As long as it’s seafood, you can’t hide it from me, let alone salmon, a common edible fish!”

Liu Maoxing had no choice but to raise his hand and said, "Okay, okay, then go and complete the registration assessment."

Ryo Kurokiba continued to stare at him, then turned to Alice and said, "Miss, I don't need a partner in my cooking! All the cooks in the kitchen are my enemies! I can accept up to multiple servants! After that In the game, which of us is the main one?"

"Eh? You guys have discussed this among yourselves. Anyway, I want luxury dessert coupons! I really want to eat, I really want to eat, I really want to eat!" Alice said and entered the coquettish mode, leaving only Liu Maoxing and Hei Mu on the side On the field, continue to stare wide-eyed.

discuss? You want to see us fight! Liu Maoxing complained silently in his heart.

"Then it seems that there is no other way, so it's good...we will each choose a salmon during the registration assessment, and then let the judges judge the winner or loser. The winner has absolute dominance in the competition, and the loser has the right You are not allowed to violate it for any reason, how about it?" Liu Maoxing said helplessly.

Liu Maoxing also saw that friendly communication with Hei Muchang would not work, so he must not make trouble and play a positive role!

"Is it just a competition of ingredients?" Kurokiba frowned.

"Oh? Isn't this something you're very confident in? It's fine to use something you're more confident in." Liu Maoxing said provocatively.

"Bastard! What are you talking about? That's better than trying to pick ingredients! I'll crush you, bastard!" Kurokiba was really excited, and became excited on the spot.

"The time limit for the registration assessment is two hours from the start of registration, and we have also used this as the time limit." Liu Maoxing said.

After that, for the sake of fairness, both of them walked into each independent shop at the same time...

"Boss, where is the salmon?" Liu Maoxing asked.

"Huh? Did you sign up for the assessment? The ones over there are all salmon." The fish boss was obviously used to it, and pointed directly at the location of the salmon.

Salmon is a marine fish, usually not caught raw, but frozen on the fishing boat after being salvaged, and sold immediately after landing.

And although the selection of salmon must be fresh, in fact, it is not only the condition of "freshness", because the assessment will require that the sashimi be made directly on the spot, and then tasted by the judges without dipping in the sauce.

In other words, the final test is the taste and deliciousness of salmon, and although sashimi pursues freshness, it does not mean that freshly dead salmon is the best...

At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the time for the delicious "mature" to give the salmon enough time to generate inosinic acid, and the stiffness after death should not affect the taste. Factors that have to be considered.

All in all, judging whether the salmon is delicious should start from three points, one is the death time, which should not be too long but not too short, the second is the difference in the breaking strength of the muscles between salmon individuals, and the last is whether the salmon is stored or transported. affect the other two.

Liu Maoxing and Heikichang stood in front of the wooden box for keeping salmon, which was full of salmon and ice cubes!

When Hei Muchang selected, he had to fiddle with his hands occasionally and carefully observe every detail of these salmon with his eyes, while Liu Maoxing's method was to stand in front of the wooden box and take a deep breath...

After a while, Kurokiba left with some disdain, while Liu Maoxing left with a purple face...

Boss Yu is not surprised either. His supply of goods was purchased late last night. For general purchasers, it is already up to the standard. As long as the price is lower, it can be processed, but for the contestants who participated in the registration assessment, it is not enough to see. up.

"Huh? Ah Xing, why is your face so ugly? And you didn't even look at those salmon just now, did you?" Alice asked suspiciously.

"No... I've 'looked' very carefully!" Liu Maoxing said hoarsely.

That's right, Liu Maoxing finally used the ability of "Super God's Tongue" to try to pick out the freshest salmon, but the fishy smell stimulated his stomach for a while!

After all, smelling is the same thing, but what Liu Maoxing did is equivalent to licking them one by one...

The two went in and out of four or five shops in a row, and finally at the sixth shop, the shop owner was an old woman, and the time of purchase here should be just right, Liu Maoxing and Kurokiba Ryo selected the target at the same time in the salmon box!

And there were two targets, and I saw that they shot at the same time, each catching the salmon that was close to them...

"Oh? Mother-in-law, your fish is really good!" Alice couldn't help sighing after seeing this scene.

However, at this moment, Kurokiba sneered, while holding the salmon he had chosen in his right hand, he grabbed the fish in Liu Maoxing's hand with his left hand!

Liu Maoxing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but he knew Kurokiba better and showed a "really so" expression.

Kurokiba Ryo, who has always regarded the kitchen as a battlefield, although he will not make trouble when the other party is cooking, but before that, Kurokiba Ryo definitely understands the truth of "soldiers never tire of cheating"...

But just when Kurokiba's left fingertip touched Liu Maoxing's salmon, Liu Maoxing finally reacted, and moved his wrist to let it go.

"You bastard... do you want to fight?" Liu Maoxing's head shot up.

"It's not impossible!" Kurokiba looked ready to fight.

But at this moment, the shopkeeper's mother-in-law said angrily: "Stinky boy! What are you doing in other people's shop? If you have selected the salmon, take out the exchange currency for me and get out!"

The two of them calmed down after hearing this, and Alice handed over the exchange currency to the old woman in the past, and then paid for another salmon herself.

"Huh? The two of them are actually in the same group? Is it really possible to cooperate like this?" the old woman muttered with a big frown.

And Liu Maoxing and Kurokiba are still staring at each other...

"Okay! That's all for the salmon fight! Let's go to the judges now!" Alice said.

As he spoke, he walked directly between Liu Maoxing and Hei Muchang, separating the two.

When I arrived at the judging office for the registration assessment, I found that there were still several groups of contestants queuing up. Fortunately, both Liu Maoxing and Heikichang had bought small fresh-keeping refrigerators. Freshness makes too much difference.

At this time, the three of them also noticed that the process of registration assessment is to go up and use the sterile sashimi knife provided by the other party to slice the selected salmon, and then present it to three judges, who will discuss whether to pass the registration.

Except for the sliced ​​sashimi knife, there are no tools and ingredients that can be used for processing!

Using private ingredients is also a foul act. The salmon obtained from the old woman's shop before has been stamped with a unique mark by the old woman, which serves as evidence that the ingredients can participate in the assessment.

When they first arrived, there were four or five groups of contestants in front of Liu Maoxing and Heimuchang, but only one group qualified, and from the perspective of knife skills alone, the cooking skills of this group of contestants, in the eyes of the three of Liu Maoxing, were also unmatched. Not really tall.

"It's no wonder there is a registration assessment process, the strength of the contestants really varies." Liu Maoxing said in a low voice.

"That's right, they are quite old, and they only have this kind of skill... they actually have the audacity to participate in the competition!"

The voice of this sentence was a little louder, and it caused the people who were still in the house to glare over.

Liu Maoxing couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and secretly complained that Alice's voice was too loud... Wait! Doesn't that sound like Alice's voice?

Liu Maoxing turned around, but saw that the person who spoke was the contestant in the group behind them. It was a boy who seemed to be about the same age as them, followed by a girl who was the same age as the boy... Look at her respectful expression , more like a maid than a partner!

The young man kept a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into two lines, but unlike Guan Shouping who was sharp-edged and unsmiling, the young man's squinting eyes combined with a fake smile gave Liu Maoxing a very uncomfortable feeling.

At this time, Alice also looked at this group of players with a frown, while Kurokiba, who had been in a fighting state, stared back at the dissatisfied people around him without hesitation, and said, "What are you looking at? Idiots! Do you want to try it out?"

"The next group of contestants." The judge said.

"Okay, Ryo, it's your turn!" Alice looked back at the next group of contestants.

Only then did Kurokiba and Liu Maoxing walk to the cooking table in front of the judges, but the judges frowned and said, "Huh? What are you doing? Each group can only choose one salmon! The person who registered didn't make it clear?"

Liu Maoxing said: "No, we know the rules... As long as one of these two fish fails, we will be considered disqualified."

"Huh? Why?" The judge sitting in the middle wondered why he had to add such unfavorable conditions.

"Because by the way, I also want the judges to help judge, which of our two salmon sashimi is more delicious!" Liu Maoxing said.

Some players who had already lost their qualifications but were still onlookers, and some other players who were still in line but were stimulated by the squinting boy's words, all stopped to watch Liu Maoxing and Hei Muchang.

Hearing Liu Maoxing's words, many people laughed...
