Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Star, star chef? Is it real or not?"

"You idiot! Judge Xiangtian said that the ordinary dishes of star-rated restaurants are not signature dishes. What kind of star-rated chefs are you?"

"That's amazing, at least a cook who can be an official chef in a star-rated restaurant..."

"Wait, did Ye Shan reach this level? Didn't two judges give him full marks?"

"There is another transfer student! He also got a full score, right?"

"Just making a formal menu that can be selected into a star-rated restaurant may not be able to enter a star-rated restaurant!"

The students started to discuss the grading criteria that Xiangtian said before, and there were constant voices of surprise...

Of course, at least at this moment, Liu Maoxing received applause and cheers from most people.

Usually having the strength of an ordinary formal chef in a star-rated restaurant means that you have the ability to challenge the top ten, and it is also the minimum standard of culinary skills to be appointed as the top ten.

At this time, everyone naturally remembered the agreement between Liu Maoxing and Meizuo Subaru last time...

As long as he stands on the head of Ruishan in the school festival, Liu Maoxing has the right to challenge him for the top ten!

That is to say... In the first year, besides Erina, there might be another top ten born.

It has always been a very rare thing to become a top ten in one year. After all, the resources possessed by the top ten are much more than ordinary students!

Not only does it symbolize power, but it is also Yuanyue's key training object. Usually, only after the three-year-old top ten graduates, the students with the most potential will be selected from the second-year students. It is rare for the top ten to be defeated by ordinary students. ...

Liu Maoxing was not surprised by the "grading criteria" mentioned by Xiangtian.

During the previous two-month vacation, Liu Maoxing also visited several star-rated restaurants in Denmark and the United States. As in the "self-service hall", let go of tasting, but at least Liu Maoxing understands the grading of some star-rated restaurants!

As long as it can become a star-rated restaurant, whether it is the lowest one-star or the highest three-star, it will not allow dishes lower than three-star premium to appear in the official menu!

That is to say, in star-rated restaurants, ordinary dishes are also "super three-star" to "super five-star"...

The standard for rating star ratings is based on the "signature cuisine". The ordinary menu tests the ability of all official chefs in the restaurant, and the "signature cuisine" is undoubtedly the test of the chef. If you want to become a star The restaurant is also the most important.

Usually, the cuisine that has just reached the tiger level can already make the restaurant reach the "one star" rating, and the chef will also become a star chef. Even the lowest level of one star chef is the dream of most cooks in their lives. dreamed up.

The dishes that are more outstanding in the "Tiger Class" can be rated as "Two Stars". As for the highest "Three Stars", you need to make dishes that are at the peak of the "Tiger Class"!

Even among the original ten elites who graduated from Yuanyue, only a small part can reach this level.

Except for Sigong's rare culinary skills that only rely on ghosts and animals, which has reached the peak of "tiger level", usually two-star chefs should have a heart for cooking. Among the three-star chefs, Liu Maoxing has only seen one in Sigong. no heart...

Of course, Sigong only has a three-star level and has not yet passed the three-star certification. At the end of his accommodation and training, he once said that he would challenge the three-star restaurant.

No dishes lower than the "super three-star" level can be added to the official menu, it's just a customary rule, the real standard for star assessment is only the chef's signature dishes!

A star chef is a rating similar to the "tiger level" in Liu Maoxing's system.

After the competition, when Liu Maoxing was walking out together with other people from Jixing Liao, Xiangtian also specially found him in private...

"Mr. Xiangtian, what is this?"

"Student Liu Maoxing, I have something I want to tell you."

Seeing what Xiang Tian said, the rest of Ji Xing Liao hurriedly bid farewell to Liu Maoxing and took a step ahead.

Qian Wu Xia Ya just found Liu Maoxing after the competition, and wanted to hire him as a consultant of "HOB Food", and offered him a sky-high annual salary. It is not that HOB does not have higher-level consultants, but Xia Ya is very optimistic about Liu Maoxing's development potential, but Liu Maoxing naturally rejected it directly.

It seems that she also invited Ye Shanliang, but she was also rejected!

"Today's cooking is very good. I was worried that it would bring you too much pressure during the competition, so I didn't say everything. In fact, your cooking can not only be included in the official menu of a star restaurant, but has reached the level of a star chef. If you had reviewed it earlier, I am afraid that no one else would have exceeded 90 points." Xiang Tian said.

"Mr. Xiangtian has won the award, I'm not ready yet." Liu Maoxing had a rare moment of modesty, and at the same time was puzzled, Xiangtian should be a professional gourmet, not running a restaurant or other related industries, so he should not be hired That's right, what are you saying for no reason?

"But you can also try it first, and know more about your own strength." Xiang Tian said.

"Try it? Mr. Xiangtian, I...don't have my own restaurant, how can I try it?" Liu Maoxing was puzzled.

"No, in fact, as long as there are recommenders, the three major gourmet certification organizations can certify the cooks themselves." Xiangtian said.

"Three major gourmet certification organizations?"

"Huh? Doesn't student Liu Maoxing know? By the way, you are Yuanyue's transfer student..."

As Xiang Tian spoke, he explained to Liu Maoxing the matter of the "Three Great Gourmet Certification Organizations".

Different from Liu Maoxing's original world, in this world that pushes food to a higher status, not only Michelin has the star rating qualifications, but has three major food organization certifications. At the same time, Michelin has no longer done Tires, if you do a good job in the certification of a star-rated restaurant, you can already guarantee its status!

The certifications of the three major gourmet organizations, although they have different names for star-rated restaurants, are all divided into three levels, and the certification of any one of them is equally valid in the world.

The three major gourmet organizations, one is the Michelin Gourmet Federation headquartered in France, most of the western cuisine will be recognized in Michelin, the other is the "Brahman Tasting Association" headquartered in India, which is biased towards Southeast Asian cuisine, and Middle Eastern and Asia Minor cuisines with the same taste are usually certified by them. The third is the "Dragon Chef Alliance" headquartered in China. East Asian and Korean Peninsula cuisines that are deeply influenced by Chinese cuisine are basically certified by the Dragon Chef Alliance. .

That is to say, it corresponds to French cuisine, Turkish cuisine, and Chinese cuisine among the three major cuisines in the world!

Of course, none of the three major organizations will maliciously certify restaurants that do not meet the standards, or forcibly deny the restaurants that meet the standards. Therefore, if you are confident, even restaurants that operate French cuisine in East Asia can find "Long Chef" Alliance" to authenticate.

With the authority of the three major organizations, each department of cuisine actually has sufficient qualifications for tasting.

Because Yuanyue College has trained countless excellent cooks, plus the world-renowned industries such as Yuanyue Chain Hotel and Yuanyue Resort, it has a very high status in the culinary world, but compared to the three major organizations, it is far behind. Far worse.

Of course, the three major certification organizations are not like Yuanyue Academy, they are almost the private property of the Nakiri family, but formed by the joint efforts of countless giants.

"...Student Liu Maoxing may have guessed it, I am the two-star certified teacher of the 'Michelin Gourmet Federation', and I also have the right to recommend." Xiangtian said his intentions.

When Liu Maoxing heard the words, he showed a very interested look at first, but soon became a little entangled.

Obviously, after the recommendation is successful, Xiangtian will probably also benefit, for example, it will help this "two-star certified teacher" level up.

However, according to Xiangtian, in addition to the two-star or above certified teachers within the organization, world-renowned culinary schools such as Yuanyue College should also have the right to recommend. Xiangtian's request for such a request would be presumptuous...

Seeing Liu Maoxing's hesitation, Xiangtian smiled and said, "Haha, are you thinking about Yuanyue College? Don't worry, the three major culinary certification organizations have recommended restrictions on Yuanyue College, that is, they cannot recommend their own graduates. students, current students."

Liu Maoxing immediately understood the reasons for the limitations of the three major cuisine certification organizations. As the cradle for cultivating top chefs, Yuanyue College itself has a high status. Many students who have graduated for a long time still have a certain sense of belonging to Yuanyue.

Of course, this sense of belonging will gradually decline with the extension of the graduation time, so the three major cooking certification organizations prohibit Yuan Yue from being the recommender of their students to prevent further labeling Yuan Yue on them!

But even so, Liu Maoxing did not immediately agree to Xiangtian...

"Thank you Mr. Xiangtian for your kindness, but...my culinary skills are indeed not good enough. I will definitely be able to improve to a more confident level within a year. I will definitely come to Mr. Xiangtian when the time comes. I hope that Mr. Xiangtian will not push me away. Refused." Liu Maoxing said.

"It's very good that you have such a clear understanding! Don't worry, as long as you find me, whether it's one year or five years, I'm willing to be your recommender. This is my business card."

In fact, Xiangtian also felt that Liu Maoxing's cooking was very reluctant to pass the certification, and most of them would not pass.

I'm just worried that the young people's mentality is frizzy, and I want to "occupy the quota" first. Anyway, the previous "Giant Panda Dream Magic Trio Mapo Tofu" must be qualified to apply for certification...

Naturally, Xiangtian didn't know that Liu Maoxing's "worse" was much worse than he imagined!

This time, he was able to cook dishes that almost reached the "tiger level". Liu Maoxing has already used one "super two-star" and two "super three-star" one-time recipes, namely "Dream Mapo Tofu" and "Tofu Trio" There is also "Giant Panda Magic Tofu" to complete part of their respective operations, and Liu Maoxing's current strongest stunt "Spice Multivariate Inequality" is used to bless, and it has reached this level.

The one-time recipes used in the first two were directly overwritten by the latter ones, and now Liu Maoxing himself cannot reproduce this dish of the same level...

And Liu Maoxing's real cooking skills are only "super one-star". If Liu Maoxing uses a simplified method to cook this dish now, it will be at most three or four-star super, and Ye Shanliang, Chuangzhen, Hei Kiba, there is no essential gap.

Of course, if Liu Maoxing is willing to use the "chef heart prototype" that only has three chances, it is possible to really reach the tiger level. At least there is no problem in passing the one-star certification, but it is too wasteful for a certification...

Liu Maoxing still wants to wait until he can really cook tiger-level dishes before accepting the certification.

If other students know that Liu Maoxing has a way to obtain the "Star Chef" certification, which they regard as the highest honor, but still think it's too wasteful, I'm afraid they will form a group to challenge Liu Maoxing one-on-one!
