Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"20 minutes..."

"20 minutes..."

Liu Maoxing and Heikiba, who didn't bring the body, repeated it in the same Lai Yangyang's sleepy tone.

"That's right! The focus is on these 20 minutes!" Alice was just the opposite, as if she had been given blood.

"Okay, then sleep for another 20 minutes."

"Good night."

After Liu Maoxing and Hei Muchang finished talking, they fell asleep on both sides of the sofa from left to right.

Although with Liu Maoxing's physical strength, it's okay not to sleep for a day or two, but it's normal to feel sleepy when someone quarrels halfway through sleep.

"Hey! Liang, Ah Xing, wake up! Twenty minutes, including the time for handling seafood, is already very, very tight. Hurry up and think about what you want to do!" Alice strenuously He helped the two of them up again.

"Anyway, if it takes 20 minutes, it's either cold or fried. What's there to think about? Kurokiba, let's fry the lobster then." Liu Maoxing said.

"I agree." Kurokiba agreed directly.

"Okay, this is the end of the tactical discussion."

Just when Liu Maoxing announced that the tactical discussion meeting was over and was about to go back to the room to rest, Alice angrily took off the turban from Kurokiba's wrist, and tied it around his head.

"Wait a minute!" Kurokiba put his hand on Liu Maoxing's shoulder directly from behind.

"how……"

Liu Maoxing’s words were immediately interrupted by Kurokiba in battle form: “Bastard! Tell me clearly, what kind of lobster are you frying! If your idea is not good enough, then follow my instructions instead! Speaking of quick seafood dishes , it's not something you laymen understand, kid!"

Putting on a turban, Kurokiba roared almost close to Liu Maoxing's face.

Most of Liu Maoxing's drowsiness was driven away... Then he wiped his face in displeasure.

"You guy, didn't you already lose during the day? Then cooperate with me honestly!" Liu Maoxing said.

"Huh? Don't make a mistake, even if you are a 'chef', if you are not as creative as a helper, you will be kicked out!" Kurokiba said.

The environment he grew up in is like this, the chef "rules" everything in the kitchen, but once other people are more able to satisfy the customers, the chef must also give up the throne of the chef...

To him, the kitchen is a battlefield where cooks fight with each other!

Due to the previous bet, although he temporarily admitted that Liu Maoxing was the "chef" in this team, it was still difficult for him to fully accept Liu Maoxing's orders without knowing anything about it.

After all, Heikichang was not an "obedient" person, otherwise he wouldn't have become the head chef of a bar in a Danish civilian area at a young age in the battlefield called "Kitchen".

Liu Maoxing sighed, and thought to himself: It seems that I won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Since the theme is a 20-minute quick seafood dish, then of course, apart from cold dishes, it will be deep-fried. I have already said, is there a problem with choosing fried lobster? Tomorrow during the day, let's go shopping for ingredients and seasonings." Liu Maoxing Said.

Before Kurokiba spoke, Alice said directly: "No, the rules of the competition are different from those of the food halberd. The ingredients and spices are all prepared by them. According to the previous situation, each group's cooking table will be equipped with kitchen utensils. And seasonings, spices, and then there are a lot of seafood for everyone to choose from.”

"That is to say, 20 minutes, including the time to get the seafood?" Liu Maoxing frowned slightly.

"That's right, and in the competition, only the official ingredients and spices can be used, and you are not allowed to bring your own... If you want to fry lobster, there must be lobster, and the flour for coating will also be provided, but for fried seafood Say, the most important sauce is difficult!" Alice said.

"Huh? Could it be that...the seasoning and spices are not fully prepared?"

"First of all, you need to know that the core purpose of this kind of competition is to enhance Hokkaido's regional influence and attract investment, so the ingredients are Hokkaido's specialty seafood, most of which come from Hokkaido fishing grounds, and the same is true for seasonings and spices."

Liu Maoxing reminded himself again in his heart, this is the world of foodies!

Indeed, in this world, cooking has a huge impact on all walks of life. Many cooking competitions are officially organized, and sometimes even a successful cooking competition can greatly promote the regional economy and influence.

"In this case, it's indeed a bit of a headache..." Liu Maoxing also scratched his head.

He originally thought of a suitable recipe before, but if there are not enough seasonings for the sauce, or even if he doesn't even know what seasonings and spices will be provided, then he needs to think about it!

In particular, this is not just a matter of seasoning. Apart from lobster, there is another thing to assist in the ingredients, and I am afraid it may not be there by then!

"Haha, boy! Sure enough, both seafood dishes and impromptu cooking are my strong points. You should obediently hand over the throne of chef!" Kurokiba said fiercely.

"Tch, don't think about it! Then... I will buy some lobsters and Hokkaido's special spices tomorrow. I will try it first, and then make adjustments according to the spices provided during the preliminaries." Liu Maoxing decided. .

"Hmph, if your work is unsatisfactory, be careful not to lose the position of chef!" Kurokiba threatened.

"Then you can try it..."

The next morning, the three soldiers of Liu Maoxing divided into three groups. Kurokichang went to the seafood market to buy various lobsters, while Liu Maoxing went to purchase various spices and seasonings that were sold locally in Hokkaido, and Alice went to inquire about news!

At noon, the three met again at the hotel.

"This is Ise lobster, Australian lobster, Boston lobster, New Zealand lobster, blue lobster, flower lobster... I bought two of each kind of lobster that can be bought, and I chose the best quality! If you try If you are unsuccessful, don't look for reasons on the ingredients!" Kurokiba said.

"I also bought a full range of seasonings and spices, but if it's true as Alice said, I'm afraid there may not be many seasonings during the preliminaries..."

After Liu Maoxing finished speaking, he and Kurokiba looked at Alice, and the second lady was looking around and said, "Well... I have been asking for a long time, but there is no useful information... Ah! Yes Yes, but it is said that every preliminaries, there will be some unexpected situations that will test the adaptability!"

"Huh? Did you inquire about this? The current topic itself is a test of resilience!" Liu Maoxing looked at her strangely.

"You're not going to be lazy, are you? Miss!" Kurokiba, who was still in a fighting state, questioned directly at this moment.

"How, how is it possible! They are working very hard to find out the news! Liang is an idiot, an idiot!" Alice looked annoyed and angry.

Liu Maoxing suddenly thought of something, and then said to Alice: "I heard that there is a very accurate lie detection method, do you dare to try it?"

Although Liu Maoxing's expression seemed weird, Alice still bit the bullet and said, "Just try it! Hmph!"

Anyway, no matter what the test is, she has already prepared it, and she is ready to kill her and refuse to admit it...

"First pinch your nose with your right hand for a minute, you can breathe through your mouth." Liu Maoxing said.

"Is that so? Does this have anything to do with polygraph detection?" Alice's voice was weird because her nose was pinched.

About a minute later, Liu Maoxing suddenly asked: "Now I ask you again, what did you do this morning?"

"D-Of course I went to scout for information! It's been a lot of hard work!"

Alice said nervously that she didn't know the principle of this unique lie detection method and how it would react. At the same time, because her nose was pinched, she could only breathe through her mouth, and she seemed a little anxious.

However, she immediately saw Liu Maoxing taking a deep breath while she was speaking...

Then he said in a tone of "there is only one truth": "Hami melon jelly, rum grape sandwich biscuits... and the taste of cream, coffee, cheese... You are going to try dessert!"

"Huh?" At first Liu Maoxing thought that Alice would definitely argue, but found that he had no voice after he finished speaking.

I saw Alice standing there with a flushed face, lowering her head slightly, her eyes blocked by the hair curtain.

Just when Liu Maoxing was about to bend down to look into her eyes, Alice suddenly exploded, using a frequency that was three times faster than when shooting Kurokiba, and slapped Liu Maoxing's shoulders and chest in a crazy series. hit……

Accompanied by the sound of "Papa Papa", Alice roared with tears: "Pervert, pervert! Do you know that you are sexual, harassing, harassment! Perverted Xing!"

After Alice vented, she locked herself in the room and dared not come out.

"Huh? I'm just reasoning... Has she always been so unreasonable?" Liu Maoxing innocently said to Kurokiba who had already released the combat mode.

Hearing the words, the dazed Kurokiba tilted his head and said, "Miss is indeed unreasonable, but Ah Xing is indeed a pervert."

"..." Liu Maoxing was speechless for a while.

However, if Alice didn't come out, the impact wasn't too great. After all, it was Kurokichang and Liu Maoxing who were going to play tomorrow. The two of them spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen of the hotel suite, studying fried lobster.

Finally, in the evening, Liu Maoxing and Kurokiba took a rest...

"Sure enough, if you want to deep-fry the lobster wrapped in batter, this kind of red lobster is the best! Moreover, there are a large number of fish farms in Hokkaido. If there is no accident tomorrow, there will be red lobsters!" Liu Maoxing said.

"What if not?" Kurokiba asked blankly.

"At the beginning of tomorrow, you will be responsible for 'grabbing' the ingredients. The first goal is the red lobster. If there is no fresh one, or the fresh one is not available, the second goal is the molting crab. The fresher the crab, the better. If two There are no species...then grab some fish that are suitable for cold dishes and come back!"
