Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Then I will reluctantly taste it, and see if your 'assistant' dishes contain water that participated in the 'Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Competition'..."

With a spoonful of curry lobster meat in my mouth, Xiang Tian's last word "quasi" could not be pronounced...

The faces of the other judges also changed for the first time since the start of the competition!

"Look! That Miss Qianhua Xiaya finally took her second bite!" Someone shouted from the audience.

The Yuanyue students who were the audience couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...

Although it had nothing to do with them, the consecutive low scores made them question Yuanyue and their own "eliteness".

Now Hei Muchang finally had a sign of breaking the curse. All five judges showed expressions as if they wanted to embrace nature...

"This is... a forest? A deep forest!"

"Yes, the curry base is a French cuisine sauce extracted from the shells of crustaceans, and the woody aroma is..."

"It's Cognac! High-quality brandy produced in the Cognac region of western France!"

"The characteristic of cognac is that during the maturation process, it will react with the preserved wooden barrels, so it will bring the aroma of wood, and the players in the black wood field add the cognac preserved by white sandalwood and fir. ..."

The judges finally received rave reviews for the first time, but gradually, Qian Wuxia Ya finally woke up from the intoxication, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said in a reserved manner: "Okay, then Let's start scoring!"

boom!

At this moment, Kurokiba slapped the table in front of Qianyou Xiaya hard, and then his whole face was almost close to him and said: "It's not over yet! Woman, don't speak so early!"

"You..." The violent attitude startled Xia Ya.

Before she could get angry, Heikiba had already placed five rubber droppers in front of the judges. The droppers contained the highest-grade Napoleon-level "cognac"...

Under Kurokiba's S-shaking language training, the five judges finally accepted his suggestion... use a dropper to drop the cognac inside the lobster head, then swallow the shrimp brain inside, and then gorge on saffron and turmeric Cooked rice!

Kurokiba’s Ise lobster curry, logically speaking, tends to be French-style. After all, the base lobster sauce and cognac are part of French cuisine, but the most delicious part must be used in orthodox French cuisine. Only the indecent appearance of "sucking food" that must not appear can be tasted.

Shrimp brains blend with curry shrimp paste, cognac...

Although he failed to beat the other "heroes" in terms of aroma and was even defeated by Ye Shanliang's cooking, but in terms of taste, he instantly captured the high ground in the hearts of the five judges!

Especially Qianwu Xiaya, as if the soul of shaking M was inspired by Kurokiba, the movements of her hands and mouth were completely out of her control, and she didn't come back to her senses until the shrimp's brain had been sucked clean.

Involuntarily wiped his mouth to cover up the embarrassing scene, and at the same time glared at Heikiba, but seeing that Heikiba had returned to his normal state at this time, the shaking side had been put back, Xia Ya's The eyes seem to be a little sad again...

Of course, only a boring person like Liu Maoxing paid attention to these "minutiae", and everyone else paid attention to the scores of the five judges!

19, 18, 19, 19, 18...

Sasaki Yuai announced excitedly: "It has appeared! The high score of this game! 93 points!"

You must know that the previous highest score was only 22 points. Kurokiba's score finally allowed Youai to grasp some rhythm, otherwise she would not know how to host it!

And Liu Maoxing said to Hei Muchang who had already come down: "Hey, you didn't take what you said to you in Denmark before... so you can't be more considerate to the guests!"

During the time in Denmark, because the tavern in Heimuchang was not far from the research institute, Liu Maoxing spent most of his time staying there temporarily.

At the same time, I also saw the "battlefield" environment in Heikichang!

Although the Nordic countries claim to be the most suitable places for human habitation, where there is light, there will naturally be shadows. The port tavern where the black wooden place is located is like this... The chef has the absolute "power of life and death" in the kitchen!

The head chef is the cook who has the best culinary skills and is able to attract customers the most. Kurokiba’s departure during the first few months of the high school has also changed the tavern to the king’s banner... Of course, it was finally replaced. Kurokiba snatched it back with "three punches and two kicks".

After all, Ryo Kurokiba, who has been tempered by "Yuanyue", is already stronger!

Liu Maoxing also tried, persuading Kurokiba to at least not have a manipulative mentality towards diners, but obviously it didn't work...

If Kurokiba had been born 150 years earlier, Kaiyu would be happy to admit him into the "organization".

After listening to Liu Maoxing's words, Hei Muchang, who was in a daze, just let out an "oh" in a daze.

But Liu Maoxing didn't say any more at this time, but hooked his neck and whispered in his ear: "Did you find out? The female judge in the middle seems to be interested in you!"

"Well, my cooking is really 'interesting'." Kurokiba said after thinking about it.

"..." While Liu Maoxing was speechless, he also began to carefully explain to Hei Muchang the difference between the two of them "interesting".

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Yu Mei watched the two whispering in confusion.

But Liu Maoxing turned around, gave a thumbs up and said, "Secret topics for men!"

"Is it about women?"

"..." Liu Maoxing was speechless.

And just after Ryo Kurokiba scored the highest score of 93 points, Ryoko Sakaki, Jun Ibuzaki, and Zenji Marui from Jixingliao also presented their dishes.

Whether it's Ryoko's "Curry Natto Rice Bowl" that uses fermented ingredients to the extreme that he can achieve now, or Ibuzaki Jun's "smoked curry" that uses smoked ingredients to his highest level now, or Marui Zenji has studied classical cuisine to a considerable degree, "Curry Soup Udon"...

Although they failed to surpass the previous "Ise Lobster Curry", they all received unanimous praise from the judges, with high scores of 88, 88, and 86 respectively!

As a result, the scores of the top four far surpassed those of the students behind, and the fifth place now only has 22 points!

Some people even gave three people the titles of "Big Sister of the Fermentation House", "Smoky Young Master", and "Doctor of the Taste World"...

However, whether it is other players or the audience outside the field, they all know that the top four positions seem to have great advantages, but it is not so easy to fix them.

Ye Shanliang, the seed player recognized in the preliminaries, and Liu Maoxing, who won the championship in the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest", have not yet been reviewed!

"There are also Ye Shanliang and Liu Maoxing. They all have a chance to squeeze out the first two spots, right?"

"Ya Shanliang is good at the application of spices, and he is the assistant of Professor Shiomi. For him, the topic of this preliminaries is the right time, place and people. It is also expected that he will be ranked at the top. As for Liu Maoxing... Haha!"

"That's right, after all, he is good at pasta, so he was able to win the championship of the 'Seafood Pastry Contest' before. But have you seen him use noodles this time? Obviously this time he chose tofu dishes! The topic is not only There is no advantage over him, but he has given up his strengths, I am afraid it will be worrying!"

"Good at pastry? Don't forget that before he and Misaku Subaru Shiji and won the 'Seafood Pastry Contest' championship, Liu Maoxing also defeated Yu Mei in meat dishes and Erina in shrimp dishes. He was also among the best in the assessment...he is good at Chinese cuisine!"

"Oh? Then look at what he has done now? Among all the players, his performance until now is the most inconspicuous, right?"

"this……"

The vast majority of the audience believed that Ye Shanliang would definitely be able to advance to the next stage, but Liu Maoxing's opinion was somewhat controversial, but it can be seen that his supporters have increased!

But at this moment, after hearing the hot discussion from the audience, the one who was most upset was not Liu Maoxing, nor the other 10- and 20-point players who were crushed, but Mito Yumei, who also hadn't presented the dishes yet. , Meizuo Subaru and Xing Ping Chuangzhen.

Seeing that the final stage of Ha Shanliang's cooking has not been completed, Liu Maoxing has been putting the six wooden boxes of pressed tofu there, looking like he has nothing to do, Misaku Subaru decided to "take action"...

"Really, do these ignorant people who don't understand the glory of a real cook think that a single failure can negate everything about a cook? Let you see my strength after the real transformation!" Misaku Subaru said. I want to be the protagonist of a shounen manga.

Liu Maoxing couldn't help complaining helplessly: "Hey, hey, can you pay attention to your own personality? Is it your turn to say such things?"

At the same time, including Liu Maoxing, many people have also noticed that Meizuo Subaru is indeed different from before in terms of aura, and now he is extraordinarily confident, as if he has cleared the previous influence with Liu Maoxing when he was eating the halberd...

The dishes he presented in front of the five judges were on a boat-shaped plate, with golden-yellow burritos lying on top, accompanied by cream and shredded cheese...

"This grilled smell... is it the 'Picardy Burrito' in French cuisine?" Xiangtian said with a bright eye.

"That's right, although there is no betting agreement this time, and there is no certification of eating halberds, but I still hope that Mr. Xiangtian can judge again in the future, how my cooking compares with Liu Maoxing's!" Subaru Misaku said sincerely.

Seeing this, Xiangtian also smiled with great comfort: "Of course, if it's this kind of competition, you can come to me at any time."
