Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Sister Kikuchi, are you... not ready yet?"

When Liu Maoxing asked Mu Jiuzhi to introduce the menu of "Chunguo Pavilion" to him, when they were alone, they asked.

There were other employees from Chunguo Pavilion before, so Liu Maoxing didn't dare to ask directly.

"W-why do you say that? In fact, I have asked many gourmets to taste it for me... I also found some star-level certified teachers, and they have done informal certification... They all said that my cooking is fine..."

When Mu Jiuzhi said this, he seemed to want to give himself some confidence, but it was a pity that he still lacked confidence until the end.

Liu Maoxing probably noticed it too, that is to say, Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo is not really under-prepared now, but has a problem with her own mentality!

"Ms. Kikuchi-san is evaluating star-rated restaurants, right? Then besides the signature dishes, there are also ratings on restaurant environment and service? These..."

"Kaori and the others are absolutely fine!"

Liu Maoxing rolled his eyes, this was the first "tough" sentence Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo said since he entered the door.

Only have confidence in other people? Liu Maoxing was silent in his heart...

Mujiu Zhiyuan Guo also introduced to Liu Maoxing before, the employees in the "Chunguo Pavilion", among them, Kaori is the foreman in charge of directly facing customers, and there are three other waiters.

And there are three people assisting Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo in the back, one chef and two kitchen workers.

Chef Die Yequan is also a graduate of Yuanyue, only one class older than Mu Kuzhiyuan Guo, that is, a graduate of the 88th class. On the contrary, the two chefs are not young.

This is already the full lineup of Chunguo Pavilion, because the star rating will be done in a few days, so everyone will work overtime, and there will be some rotations in normal times...

That's right, Chun Guo Ting is not a big restaurant, just like the new restaurant that Shinomiya has just returned to Tokyo and is preparing for, it is a restaurant that can only accommodate single-digit tables at a time, and is completely reservation-only.

From a profit point of view, this is not "efficient". Although it is a boutique route, after reaching the star rating, a few dishes will cost at least a month's income of an ordinary family... But in the final analysis, this small shop, It is the chef's own craftsmanship that "makes money"!

For example, "Mozu House", although there are some secret recipes, compared with "star restaurants", it has no technical content at all, and the profit rate is not high under various costs, but in essence, it is "exploitation". Ten stores and the labor of hundreds of employees make money.

Of course, the secret recipe of "Mozu House" is also very important, without this secret recipe, there is no chance of "exploiting" other people.

In other words, although Mu Jiuzhiyuan Guo is the chef and store manager of Chunguo Pavilion, he is actually a cook, not a manager or businessman.

This is also the easiest mode to score star ratings, a pure chef mode!

The larger the restaurant, the more difficult it is to pass the star rating, because in addition to the "upper limit", there is also a "lower limit", so the news that Shinomiya Kojiro returned to Tokyo to open a branch made Ruishan feel incredible.

The branch store model is not suitable for attacking star-rated restaurants. Originally, one store can meet the standard, but for chain stores, all stores must meet the standard...

Just like the Yuanyue Hotel in the Yuanyue Resort, no matter how good Dojima Yin is, it is impossible for it to pass the audit of a star restaurant...

Can Dojima Gin make every corner of Yuanyue Hotel's decoration, every side dish, and even the sold bottled drinks meet the star rating standards?

If it is really achieved, the consumption level of Yuanyue Resort will break through the sky. Not only will the audience shrink, but it will also not meet Yuanyue's strategic needs!

"What kind of cooking does senior sister Mu Jiuzhi plan to use next week...I mean for the evaluation?" Liu Maoxing asked curiously.

"Oh! The main course is... chicken wraps with Parma ham."

"Palma ham chicken roll? Is it a famous dish in Italian cuisine? Is it a traditional recipe or an improved one?"

At the level of Mujiu Zhiyuanguo, it is impossible to copy the recipes. Both of them knew that Liu Maoxing was asking whether the improvement was large or not.

"I... with everyone's help, improved it!" Mu Jiuzhi said.

Seeing Mu Jiuzhi's weak look, Liu Maoxing was a little worried, and couldn't help saying: "Then let's start today! Senior sister, make a 'Palma Ham Chicken Roll' first, and I'll try it with 'Super God's Tongue' to see if there is anything I can do." Room for improvement!"

"Eh? Not good...the official internship will start tomorrow, and you just arrived..."

"Okay! I'll watch from the side, it's good if I can steal some lessons!"

"But……"

"This is also related to my 'field study' results!"

It wasn't until Liu Maoxing said so that Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo agreed and took Liu Maoxing to the kitchen.

Otherwise, Mu Jiuzhi wants Liu Maoxing to rest for a day, and we can talk about it tomorrow...

As the name suggests, "Palma ham chicken roll" is a famous dish in Parma in eastern Italy. Liu Maoxing does not say that he is familiar with it, but he has tasted it and will naturally cook it.

The "Chicken Roll with Parma Ham" that Liu Maoxing tasted was made by Tacomi. Although his Aldini restaurant is in Florence, which is in the middle of Italy, Tacomi knows all kinds of Italian cuisines very well. .

In order to better assist Mu Jiuzhi Yuan Guo, and also for his own internship and study results, Liu Maoxing started from washing his hands in the kitchen, and watched Mu Jiu Zhi Yuan Guo step by step as he cooked...

Because on the day of the assessment, Chunguo Pavilion did not accept other reservations, so I don’t have to worry about other guests. At that time, the aperitifs, appetizers, drinks, soup dishes, desserts, etc. will all be handled by the man... Ah no! Die Yequan was in charge, and she was also the only "cook" at Chunguo Pavilion.

The two chefs are mainly responsible for helping Die Yequan. For the main course of Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo, they are only responsible for preparing the roughly divided ham and chicken and placing them in the specified positions.

Afterwards, Kikuchi will cook by himself...

Seeing this scene, Liu Maoxing understood that "Palma ham and chicken roll" is like a must-have dish for Mu Jiuzhi-senpai!

Of course, this is not to say that Mujiu Zhiyuan fruit does not even have a "food sense" at ordinary times. Even if it has a "food sense", it can also exert a stronger "food sense" when cooking "must-kill dishes"!

But the disadvantage is that the appearance of some ingredients that she doesn't understand may interrupt her "eating sense". It may not affect the dishes, or it may cause the dishes to be downgraded...

So she had to start with light processing of the ingredients and do it herself!

Liu Maoxing looked at Senior Sister Mu Jiuzhi's appearance, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: It seems to be relatively smooth at the moment, but if Senior Sister is too nervous, she may lose her "sense of food", and the dishes will not meet expectations... …

Boom...

"kindness?"

Hearing a strange noise, Mu Jiuzhi's "eating sensation" was interrupted just in front of Liu Maoxing!

"Um...Student Liu Maoxing, don't stare at me like that..." Mu Jiuzhi said a little shyly.

"Hey, brat! You are not allowed to play tricks on Yuanguo!" The man... Ah no, it was Die Yequan who warned in a somewhat savage way.

It’s not that Die Yequan is careless. Although Liu Maoxing came here to assist Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo, but because Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo has some physical characteristics that can be regarded as advantages. Feeling turbulent, and Liu Maoxing stared at it because he was thinking about something...

Liu Maoxing was even more uncertain! My own gaze made Mu Jiuzhi-senpai nervously distracted. When it comes to the real evaluation, although there is no such thing as visiting the cooking, the invisible pressure may have a greater impact, right?

"Hey, I'm talking to you! What are you thinking?" the inch-cut girl Die Yequan said angrily.

Liu Maoxing glanced at the man-in-law. In fact, Die Yequan can be considered delicate in terms of facial features alone, but her haircut and her temperament make her not delicate...

Where did I feel this kind of temperament?

"Butano-senpai, right? That... are you familiar with Kakuzaki Taki?"

Nonsense, both of them are students of the 88th class, of course they are familiar with each other! Liu Maoxing just wanted to test the relationship between the two of them.

"Huh? That savage girl? Let me tell you, she has never beaten me except for cooking!" Die Yequan said proudly.

What are you proud of? As a cook, besides cooking, is it meaningful to win others! Liu Maoxing only dared to complain in his heart.

But Die Yequan seemed to see his heart, and the other party took Liu Maoxing outside...wrestling his arms!

Well, now I finally know why she won Kadozaki Taki.

After losing to Liu Maoxing three times in a row, Die Yequan finally used the tactic of intimidating eyes to force Liu Maoxing to lose to her once...

Strange to say, Izumi Butano and Taki Kadozaki are both students of the class of 1988, and they both look like delinquent girls, but their attitudes towards Kikuchi Sonoka are completely opposite.

Kadozaki Taki didn't know whether it was because of his flat chest or because he couldn't see Mu Kuchi's character, he always took pleasure in bullying Mu Kuchi Sonoka, but Chono Izumi, who had similar personality and figure with her, had a good relationship with Mu Kuchi.

So although Mu Jiuzhi always called Die Yequan "Senior Sister" no matter in public or private occasions, Die Yequan respected and supported Mu Jiuzhi very much. He called him "chef" in the kitchen and "Yuanguo" outside the kitchen. .

After Liu Maoxing forced himself to lose to Die Yequan once, Mu Jiuzhi's "Chunguoting Special Ham and Chicken Roll" was finally completed.

After tasting it, Liu Maoxing found that it was indeed a dish that was firmly established in the Tiger class. Although it was only a year after graduation, being recommended for a star rating was by no means a gimmick!

But...does it work?

Liu Maoxing is suffering from a headache right now, Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo's problem cannot be helped by his super god tongue at all!

"Super God's Tongue" doesn't have the strange ability to ensure that women enter a calm state!
