Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Liu Maoxing did not do it himself this time, but chose to tutor Fei Shazi.

"Hey, Ah Xing, it's been two hours... What about after that?" Fei Shazi came out of the kitchen with sweat on his head and said.

"Afterwards, change to a small fire to skim off the impurities inside."

Fei Shazi said: "You don't need to say it, I have already removed the impurities."

"When you simmer on low heat, impurities will continue to be produced. For the next three days, you have to filter out impurities from time to time." Liu Maoxing said.

"Three days?" Fei Shazi exclaimed.

Erina on the side also said: "Isn't three days too long? And I wanted to say before, why choose those rough, unprocessed bones and internal organs to cook directly? Otherwise, there will be no impurities all the time. ..."

"No, this is the most important process of this dish, and the impurities in it must be filtered out from time to time!" Liu Maoxing said without seeming false.

"Then let's take shifts?" Erina suggested.

But Liu Maoxing frowned and said, "It's best not to, this dish is best done by one person, and I have to prepare another dish, and I need your help."

Fei Shazi didn't want to make Erina do such a laborious thing because of the trouble he caused, so he immediately said: "Leave this to me! Miss, you go and prepare other things with Ah Xing!"

Before leaving, Liu Maoxing suddenly remembered something, and reminded Fei Shazi: "By the way, if you feel that you can't stick to it, think about the origin of your cooking and medicinal diet!"

When the two left together, Erina was still complaining about whether Liu Maoxing made things difficult for Fei Shazi on purpose...

"Don't worry, if it succeeds, this is also a rare opportunity for the little secretary!" Liu Maoxing said.

Naturally, Liu Maoxing didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, but the recipe of "liver stewed porridge" that he taught her was the simplest of all one-time recipes and also the one with the largest span!

It was only before that Liu Maoxing discovered that if he had reached the recipe level, he would be able to teach others the cooking process in detail.

Think about it, just like other chefs who have reached the "super class", they can teach the cooks simple and in-depth cooking, but if they don't reach the "super class", even if they understand the production process of a dish, they can only explain it in a mess and cannot be a teacher.

Therefore, in Yuanyue Resort, only super class can be called "prospective chef" and "official chef", and those below can only be called "cooks"!

The same is true for restaurants. Usually, a restaurant with a decent level must have a super chef in charge, and only when they reach the super level can they give some impetus to the overall development of the culinary industry...

And now Liu Maoxing can already teach other people the recipes of "Super One Star" or below. As long as the culinary skills of the person being taught meet the requirements, no matter how poor their comprehension is, Liu Maoxing can use simple-to-understand explanations and meticulous corrections to make the other party master this recipe.

Of course, if the culinary skills of the person being taught are not up to the standard, the result of the teaching will be discounted...

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Erina wondered.

"If you can succeed, the little secretary will give you a surprise!"

The "liver stewed porridge" taught by Liu Maoxing to Fei Shazi is from "Zhonghua Yiyi". A bowl of porridge made by the great elder's granddaughter Qiulan.

Qiulan showed willfulness and ruthlessness as soon as she appeared on the stage. Because Qiulan has severe anorexia, the elder will let all the chefs who make mistakes cook for Qiulan once before they are executed. As long as they can satisfy her, they can commutation...

But in fact, even if it is a full banquet, the answer I get from Qiulan can only be "unpalatable". Even if she knows that the chef will be executed because of her bad reviews, she will still go her own way.

But Xiaodangjia discovered Qiulan's cuffs, which accidentally exposed her skin, making her look slack and aging, and judged that Qiulan was in poor health because of eating too many delicacies from mountains and seas. "Let Qiulan regain her appetite.

Although it was just a bowl of porridge, it took three days and three nights to cook the soup base, and it obviously used thick bones, chicken liver, pork liver and other ingredients that are prone to impurities, but it was as clear as water... because in three days , We must constantly get rid of the impurities in it!

The level span of this "liver stewed porridge" is also very large, and any special skills have no bonus effect on it. Normally, it is only at the level of "super one star", but as long as there is a "chef's heart prototype", it can become a "super class" "Five-star" cuisine, if you have a real "cooking heart", you can play a "tiger-level" effect!

It can make the basic culinary skills of "Superior One Star" play the effect of "Tiger Level"... although "culinary heart" is more difficult to have!

And it is not only characterized by a large level span, but also needs three days and three nights to continuously clear the bottom of the soup, which is a great test of concentration and the belief of the cook, which means that if the cook's "concentration If there is enough strength, it is entirely possible to use this as an opportunity to condense the "chef heart prototype"!

Liu Maoxing even suspects that the little boss got a blessing in disguise during this assessment, and raised his concentration to the state of "the prototype of a chef's heart"...

Because it was after this that Li Admiral Li Hongzhang, who was in charge of the entire Daqing State-owned Hotel, allowed Xiaodangjia to leave Guangzhou and return to Sichuan to inherit the position of head chef of "Chrysanthemum Downstairs". Insufficient, declined Admiral Li's permission, continued to stay in Yangquan Restaurant to practice, until later passed the special chef examination, and began to travel around the country...

Clearing away impurities for three consecutive days and nights is not only a test of concentration, but also a process of sharpening concentration!

At the same time, the origin of medicated diet, still wanting to use cooking to help patients, will be the best weapon for Fei Shazi to persevere. On the contrary, Liu Maoxing's belief is not suitable for such honing, so he gave Fei Shazi the opportunity.

"What are we going to do now?" Erina asked suspiciously.

"Another coordinating dish, there is still time to start preparing tomorrow night, what we have to do now is... think about my semi-final!" Liu Maoxing spread his hands.

Erina blushed, and then remembered that Liu Maoxing had a game on the weekend, but she was pulled out by herself.

Although in principle the Top Ten cannot provide direct assistance to the contestants in the autumn trials, but since Liu Maoxing wasted precious pre-competition preparation time for her, it is also appropriate to provide some indirect assistance within the scope permitted by the rules!

"How about it? As for the main course of Western food, although it's not your strongest point, you shouldn't have any difficulties, right?" Erina said.

"It's not that there is any difficulty, but... what kind of cuisine to choose, I haven't decided yet!" Liu Maoxing said helplessly.

"Huh? Hasn't the general classification been decided all day?" Erina asked in surprise.

"Generally speaking... it's either meat dishes or seafood dishes!"

"...It's not your decision, it's what the title requires." Erina said helplessly.

"In short, it is a dish of meat or aquatic products as the main ingredient. It can be used as the main dish in a Western-style banquet alone...it is relatively broad!" Liu Maoxing expressed his understanding of the topic.

"You should know what the so-called 'Western food' means?" Erina said suddenly.

Liu Maoxing was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that Erina must be implying something to herself!

"Of course, Western food in a broad sense should refer to European and American cuisines that originated from Italian cuisine and are now represented by French cuisine..."

"Then you should understand that the west doesn't mean the west, right?"

"'Xi Mian' does not mean 'Western Ocean'..." Liu Maoxing muttered Erina's words.

But Erina refused to say anything more.

Liu Maoxing stayed at the same place and said to himself: "That's right, if it's the 'West' in the pure direction, Chinese cuisine, Southeast Asian cuisine, Mediterranean cuisine...for island countries, they are all in the west! But the 'Western food' 'Western' can't be discussed in terms of direction alone, but refers to the cuisine of European cuisine... Wait, is this different from what I said before?"

Liu Maoxing couldn't help but get tangled up, Erina wouldn't say that for no reason, she must be trying to imply something!

European, Western food...

"Speaking of European cuisine, although the most famous ones are Italian and French, but Spanish cuisine, Russian cuisine...etc! Did she mean..."

Liu Maoxing suddenly had a flash of inspiration. European cuisine is not an independent existence. The food culture of many European countries has also been influenced by Mediterranean and Russian cuisine.

Although most of Russia's population is in Europe, the cuisine is heavy and greasy, with sour, sweet, salty, spicy and other strong flavors, which cannot be compared with European cuisine.

"Erina's meaning should not be to let me enlarge my thinking, but to focus on 'Western food' more'precisely'! That is to say, in terms of taste, I should be more inclined to set off the original flavor of the ingredients themselves!"

"The cooking methods that are more suitable to set off the original taste should be stewed, roasted, and steamed, so the target is even smaller!"

According to Yuanyue's "hidden rules", as long as the "Western food" of the title is satisfied, that is, "meat or aquatic products are the main ingredients", "can independently take the position of the main dish in the banquet" and "stewed, steamed, grilled". Cooking in the same way and spices as a foil to the original taste" After these three points, any cooking can be regarded as satisfying the topic...

"Meat and fish, stewed, steamed and grilled..."

"There are also side dishes! The side dishes in western food are also very important..."

"By the way, while ensuring that the cuisine can independently serve as the main dish in the banquet, it must also be a cuisine that can shock the judges at the first bite..."

The last two are the potential restrictions that Liu Maoxing thought of when he recalled the original plot!

Liu Maoxing's goal became more and more specific, and he finally had a clue...
