Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 168 - Difficult Assistance

"The eighth item, the thirteenth item, and the sixteenth item and the following preparations, leave it to me! Chef Abel can use his spare time to think about today's task arrangement..."

Abel finally waited until Liu Maoxing spoke, but instead of asking for help, he took the initiative to "assist".

"Good job, but I still have to check..." Abel said helplessly.

Afterwards, Liu Maoxing directly took over Abel's work. Of course, Abel did not find any problems after the inspection. This kind of basic skill preprocessing, Liu Maoxing will not have any problems doing it with his eyes closed!

Abel did re-edit the task assignment, and at the same time put the new form next to Liu Maoxing just to be on the safe side, and said at the same time: "After you're done, see if there are any problems with these." Abel said.

Liu Maoxing didn't wait for it to be completed, he just kept moving his hands, turned his head to the side, and looked at the content on the form.

Abel grinned inwardly, but Liu Maoxing couldn't say anything because of the unruffled structure in his hands.

If he didn't know that the other party was Sigong's junior, Abel would have thought that Liu Maoxing grew up doing odd jobs in a French restaurant!

Not to mention the professional chefs in the main store, even the official chefs and head chefs are probably not so solid in basic skills.

What was written on the form this time was not the fixed ingredients and time that needed to be processed, but more than 100 dishes and desserts to be launched today, and then listed the pre-preparation procedures and pre-preparation required for them. Process, temporary preparation process...

There are some preparation processes that can be carried out much in advance without affecting the quality of the dishes. For example, what we are doing now is the pre-preparation process; some can be carried out in advance, but not too much in advance. Generally, after the reserved guests have arrived, The cooking time is carried out one or two times in advance, that is, the preparation process in advance; there are also processes that have extremely high requirements on timeliness, which must wait until the official cooking is about to be carried out, which is naturally a temporary preparation process.

Although after opening at 10:30, Sigong or Abel will give some instructions, but most of the time, the chef still has to rely on his own experience, as well as the tacit understanding with the chef and the chef...

What Abel is showing him now is only the specific procedures that are required, in case Liu Maoxing will not be able to do it at all.

"Yes, yes, but are these...times for cooking so 'fuzzy'?" Liu Maoxing frowned.

"Otherwise, do you still expect the guests to cooperate with you?" Abel asked back.

"Well, that's right. Is there enough food in the restaurant?" Liu Maoxing asked suddenly.

Abel didn't realize what he meant for a moment, but he still replied, "Of course it's plenty!"

"Is it possible to waste some?"

"Of course there is no problem with the ingredients, but the time..."

"It doesn't matter, then leave the rest to me! I will be in charge of assisting you three at that time." Liu Maoxing said directly.

Abel confirmed again: "You should understand, right? The situation at that time will be completely different from the current preprocessing, and many things need to be judged by yourself..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back!"

Not long after Liu Maoxing came down, it was already 10:20. At this time, the preparation process had been completed. In the second half of the time, Abel did not do anything at all, but Liu Maoxing completed it for him.

Sigong also walked in at this time, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw the ingredients prepared in advance.

"How is it, Abel? Has he passed the examination?" Sigong asked directly.

Although Sigong took the initiative to contact the academy and transferred Liu Maoxing, but if Liu Maoxing really did not get Abel's approval, he would not show any mercy.

Abel paused when he heard the words, and then said: "He did a good job."

Si Gong probably guessed what was going on right away, using these basic skills to test Liu Maoxing, Abel really asked for boredom...

But after a while, it will not be a problem that "basic skills" can solve!

"Chef Sigong, Chef Abel, the guests have arrived." Gao Wei announced at the kitchen door.

I saw that whether it was the usually awkward and domineering Si Gong, Abel who always put on a serious look, or even Liu Shi who seemed innocent and majestic, all quieted down after taking their positions.

The atmosphere in the entire kitchen instantly became depressing...

Suddenly Liu Maoxing felt that this feeling seemed a little familiar?

After careful recollection, it seems that Mr. Shiro Ichiro had a similar feeling when he had a small test of skills in Jixingliao, that is, when he and Chuangzhen "eating halberds".

But at the beginning, this feeling was just fleeting, presumably Joichiro didn’t take it too seriously, after all, he didn’t even enter the state of food sensation, but the difference is that the feeling Joichiro gave Liu Maoxing at that time seemed more aggressive...

What broke the silence was Sigong's commanding voice: "It's started! Three people at table one and two people at table two, serve appetizers!"

"Yes!" After Liu Shi and Abel answered briefly, they each got ready...

It is completely different from the usual "eating halberd". This is not a place where you can concentrate on making a dish. When preparing the dish in front of you, you have to be distracted to check the status of the broth and the oven, and even interspersed with other things. Cooking preparations!

And Liu Maoxing's current task is to make them less distracted as much as possible, and at the same time, he is also observing the actions of the three people in the fourth palace.

Liu Maoxing has just realized that he is often "distracted" to check other ingredients, interspersed with different cooking? So... how do they maintain their appetite?

Previously, Liu Maoxing's preprocessing of various ingredients was only in the category of basic skills. Although it did not come from a single dish, it is not surprising that he can maintain the taste of food.

But if Liu Maoxing is allowed to intersperse with multiple dishes, he thinks it will be difficult to maintain the state of eating!

Because of his performance in the morning, Liu Maoxing was entrusted with a "heavy task" by Abel, that is, he was the assistant of the three chefs alone!

At first, Liu Maoxing thought, isn't that just doing the work of three cooks? In the state of food sense, I already have a comprehensive "super three-star" cooking skill. When it comes to basic skills, the chef is not as good as him, so there should be no problem.

I just thought that in the original plot, even Chuangshin, who helped out in the restaurant since childhood, couldn’t keep up with the rhythm of SHINO’S kitchen, so just to be on the safe side, I asked Abel one more question, “Are the ingredients sufficient?”…

In the end, I didn’t expect that I really didn’t ask in vain. Liu Maoxing was fast enough, but his grasp of the timing was not right enough. Some processes were prepared too early, and the ingredients had to be discarded and could not be used at all, so they had to prepare again!

For a while, I don't know how much useless work I did...

But fortunately, in the face of Liu Maoxing's powerful processing speed, he barely maintained the operation of the kitchen. As he said before, he did not hold everyone back!

But I don't have time to think about the things I thought about before!

Liu Maoxing didn't expect that he would be tossed like this just because of the work of three chefs, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder: Could it be that the chefs in the SHINO'S main store also have such perverted basic skills? Something doesn't seem right...

Without giving Liu Maoxing time to think about it, starting from eleven o'clock, Liu Maoxing felt more and more strenuous. After entering the peak period, Liu Maoxing even felt that he had tried his best!

When I was in the "staying and training", it was not so difficult to prepare meals for hundreds of people.

But even so, Liu Maoxing persisted. Although the waste bin in the kitchen was half full in the morning, there were fresh shrimps that had been peeled too early, easily oxidized vegetables that had been cut for too long, and those that should be eagerly chopped. But it was delayed due to other things, and the cold-cut meat...

Fortunately, SHINO'S mainly "sells" the cooking skills of the chefs, so the proportion of the cost of ingredients is extremely low. Otherwise, if it is an ordinary non-star restaurant, according to this throwing method, the manager will pay for it sooner or later!

"The three people at table seven prepare the main course, and the three people at table two prepare dessert... Liu Maoxing will rest in half an hour, try to prepare everything within half an hour, and then rest for half an hour!" Commander Sigong said.

It's already two o'clock in the afternoon, the peak time has passed, and it's time for the kitchen to change, and the fourth palace arranges for Liu Maoxing to be the first.

"Yes!" Liu Maoxing agreed.

While assisting the three of them normally, Liu Maoxing also started to do some other procedures in advance, which might be used by the three chefs in half an hour to an hour.

Half an hour later, Liu Maoxing left the kitchen under Si Gong's instruction and took a rest for half an hour.

"Woo..." After Liu Maoxing came out, he let out a long breath.

"The staff meal has been prepared in the lounge. How is it? Are you still used to it?" Gao Wei asked.

"Big talk, or the truth?"

"Hehehe, it seems that you are not very tired, and you are still in the mood to joke? I thought you were going to cry out! What is the big talk? What is the truth?"

"It's too easy to lie. In the afternoon, I will use my personality and cooking skills to lull Sigong and Abel, and let them be my cooks!"

"Dare to say... what about Liushi?"

"Well, let her come out to help sister Gao Wei! The pressure in the front hall is not small..."

"Hehehe, what you said seems to be true... the truth?"

"...Sister Gao Wei, why don't I come out to help you this afternoon!" Liu Maoxing said with a bitter face.

Gao Wei laughed again when he heard the words, obviously he heard that Liu Maoxing was not so relaxed this morning.

Of course, as for going out to the front hall, it was obvious that it was a joke. To a certain extent, Liu Maoxing and Sigong are very similar in some places, so it is impossible to give up so easily!

When Liu Maoxing was resting for a while, the efficiency of the three people in the kitchen inevitably dropped a lot, and they started to get busier. At the same time, they were actually far more surprised than Gao Wei...

Gao Wei just thought that Liu Maoxing was working as an assistant for Abel or Liu Shi alone!

"I can really survive...boy! But this is not enough...I don't want to wait for you to graduate and defeat a student who has no power to fight back!" Sigong muttered in a voice that only he could hear One sentence.
