Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 169 Trick? Cheating?

"Liu Maoxing is back at work, Liu Shi, go and rest!" Si Gong said after Liu Maoxing returned to the kitchen without looking back.

Although it is entering the low peak period, but one of the three chefs is missing, Sigong and Abel expected to be more urgent than before, but in fact it is not the case...

Obviously, the number of customers served at the same time did not fluctuate much, but after Liu Maoxing came back, the two of them felt a lot more relaxed!

At least at this moment, Liu Maoxing's role is greater than that of the chef...

Of course, it can’t be counted like this. The three chefs transferred from the SHINO’S main store can also play such a role. Although skilled and tacit chefs are rare, they are no less than the head chef.

Especially for Liu Maoxing, a counterfeit chef, the premise of maintaining work efficiency is still based on wasting a lot of ingredients!

After Liushi, Abel, and Sigong also took turns to rest, it was already four o'clock, and in another hour, the evening peak was about to begin.

"Liu Maoxing, try to prepare the things you prepared in the morning before the dinner rush, otherwise you may not be able to come out!" Si Gong said.

Indeed, except for the broth, 70% to 80% of the things prepared in the morning have been used up.

After all, although they are all ingredients that have a long aging time and oxidize very slowly when cut, eight hours can no longer be longer, and any longer will affect the taste and color, and the taste of marinated meat will also deviate from the optimal range... …

So this seems to be a relatively loose hour of manpower, which is used for Liu Maoxing, who is a chef, to "restock".

"For the next hour, you don't have to worry about us, just concentrate on replenishing the ingredients for the morning. Except for the soup, make up 70% of the amount." Abel added.

Liu Maoxing breathed a sigh of relief again, and at the same time secretly said: This is not the way! I'm not here to work for Sigong, but I'm too busy to think now...

Is the "Field Training" system of Yuanyue College aimed at improving employment, or making the cook who inherits the family property not lack practical skills?

Do not make jokes! That is at best said to middle-level students. For real elite students, this kind of statement is completely nonsense!

For elite students like Liu Maoxing, there is only one purpose of "field training", which is to learn from professional cooks and even chefs!

If you compare carefully, you will also find that the internship locations of elite students are actually tailor-made. For example, Liu Maoxing's four-week internship, except for the first week that was calculated by Ruishan, the other three weeks are very targeted .

Although Shino's and Yuanyue Resort are the three or four-week practice locations, it was Shinomiya and Dojima who contacted the academy on their own initiative, but if Liu Maoxing can absorb some "nutrients" in these two places, it will be enough to greatly accelerate his growth...

As for the Chunguo Pavilion internship in the second week, it also gave Liu Maoxing the opportunity to learn about star ratings and preparation skills. However, who would have thought that Liu Maoxing would use this week to "elope"?

After starting to pre-process the ingredients by himself, Liu Maoxing was able to calm down and think about some things. Simply according to Liu Maoxing's prediction, the "super two-star" cooking skills are enough to complete these pre-processing within an hour. There is no need to enter the "food sense" "Status, so that you can be distracted from thinking...

From the atmosphere after the three of them officially started cooking, Liu Maoxing already felt that there was something worth pursuing, but now he didn't have time to calm down and observe carefully!

As for secretly begging the fourth palace to let myself watch for a day?

In fact, this idea is not absolutely unfeasible, because after all, Sigong is not short of himself now, but it is not a last resort, Liu Maoxing didn't want to say this, but thought of a way by himself!

This time, Liu Maoxing only took five minutes to move all the ingredients to the cooking table, and then served with marinades, sauces...the ingredients were diced and sliced...

Abel, who secretly observed this scene, couldn't help sighing in his heart: It is worthy of being able to communicate in the kitchen in French in a week, and his memory is really amazing, as if he has completely mastered the location of the ingredients in the warehouse and freezer.

Seemingly feeling Abel's gaze, Liu Maoxing smiled at him and guessed what Abel meant, and thought to himself: How could he know, in fact, I didn't memorize those positions already, but used...wait a minute!

Liu Maoxing's eyes lit up, and his subordinates became more relaxed.

But from the way I used the ingredients just now, I thought of a way to improve my efficiency, and even make myself a "super two-star" cooking skill, so I cooperated with them in an orderly manner!

If successful, you can no longer rely on the "sense of food", and then you can be distracted to observe and think!

While pre-processing these ingredients, Liu Maoxing secretly weighed in his heart whether his expectation could be realized, and even did a simple experiment, and secretly felt that it was feasible...

After five o'clock, Liu Maoxing returned to his post as an assistant cook.

Still silent, doing all kinds of basic procedures at an extremely fast speed, but Kojiro Shinomiya and the others, for some reason, always feel that Liu Maoxing seems to be a little different from before!

It wasn't until two hours later, when it was already seven o'clock, that Abel accidentally caught a glimpse of the discarded ingredients in the discarded barrels. The quantity didn't seem to have changed much?

Has this kid changed his routine? It was obviously a waste before...

Could it be...he has mastered the tricks of cooperating in the kitchen, so he can assist more easily?

Abel couldn't help but glanced at Liu Maoxing, and saw that his movements seemed to be much slower than in the morning!

However, he was still able to keep up with the rhythm of the three of them. Obviously, it was not because of the decline in physical fitness, but because of the loss of the previous feeling of "exhaustion", and the reduction of useless work, so that Liu Maoxing could distract himself from observing them!

Abel couldn't help being depressed for a while. Like Liu Shi, he started as an ordinary cook. How long did it take him to adapt to the rhythm of the kitchen and master the tricks of cooperating with the chef?

And you must know that his cooperation at that time was largely due to "tacit understanding", not all because of the mastery of the cooking rhythm.

But now that Liu Maoxing has just cooperated with them for a day, it is definitely not a tacit understanding, but simply mastered some kind of experience, how can this not shock him?

"Abel!" Sigong shouted in a low voice.

"Huh?" Abel asked suspiciously.

"The amount of rosemary is wrong." Liu Maoxing blurted out.

Just when Abel thought something was wrong, he was distracted by Liu Maoxing's progress and made an omission. He was about to inform Gao Wei and ask her to apologize to the customer on his behalf. The main course will be ten minutes late, and desserts can be served during the period , Drinks, I saw that Liu Maoxing had already handed over all the pre-processed ingredients corresponding to this main dish!

"...Thank you!" Abel thanked.

Now that these preparations have been made, there is only a seven-minute delay... no, only five and a half minutes before the main course can be re-prepared.

Abel realized later that the recipe for this dish was taught to him by Sigong, and the chef of Sigong had already reached the level of mastering the kitchen. Did he immediately call out his own negligence?

But Abel immediately calmed down, because he was distracted just now, and he almost got into trouble...

There was no danger after that, and the four of them cooperated until 9:30 in the evening.

Liu Maoxing took the initiative to call out: "Chef of Sigong."

"Say." Si Gong frowned and spit out a word.

Including SHINO'S, in the kitchen of many exquisite restaurants, except for the chef's occasional command voice, other people's voices are very taboo.

But this time Liu Maoxing contributed a lot, and Shinomiya Kojiro knew that Liu Maoxing must have something "worthy" to say, so he would speak.

As for Abel, although he was harsh on Liu Maoxing at the beginning, but Liu Maoxing helped him make up for a negligence before, so naturally he won't complain now.

"There won't be many guests after that, can I rest?" Liu Maoxing said.

After talking, the other three people in the kitchen couldn't help looking over, wondering why Liu Maoxing suddenly became self-willed?

However, she found that Liu Maoxing was holding the kitchen knife with a pale face, Liu Shi couldn't help but said, "Are you all right? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, it just consumes more energy."

The three chefs couldn't say anything about this "excuse". Although their technical content is higher, there is no doubt that Liu Maoxing is the most in terms of pure effort!

"Abel, Liushi, are you two alright?" Sigong asked.

"no problem!"

"no problem!"

Seeing that the other two had responded, Sigong also nodded and said, "Liu Maoxing will go to rest first."

Half an hour later, SHINO'S closed the shop, and Gao Wei saw off the last batch of customers. When the four of them came to the lounge, they were shocked by a bad news!

Liu Maoxing actually... ate all the staff meals for five people!

The other three externally hired waiters had left work one after another, and there was no staff meal, otherwise Liu Maoxing might have to eat for seven people!

"Hey, I can't see that you can eat so much!" Liu Shi said with white eyes.

But there is nothing to worry about. There are enough ingredients in the restaurant, and a few chef-level cooks still worry that they have no food?

It's just that Liu Shi and Gao Wei don't want to move now. As a man and the head chef of the branch, Abel is about to stand up, but Sigong said: "I'm going to prepare the staff meal, Liu Maoxing, come and help me."

"Eh? I'm still very hungry!" Liu Maoxing looked like he wasn't full yet.

"Oh, then I feel that it is more necessary for you to come here!"

Facing the threat from Sigong, Liu Maoxing could only sigh, and went back to the kitchen with him.

When the two were alone, Sigong suddenly said: "Actually, you used 'this' to cheat before, right?"

"Eh? What kind of cheating is this?" Liu Maoxing said dissatisfied.

"That's right, you have your own way, this is your talent, but I hope you can not only squander your talent, but turn it into your own advantage!"

"Is this a pointer?"

"That's right. After all, when you graduate, you still have to fight me once. I will feel ashamed if your opponent's level is too low."

"Don't worry, you don't have to wait until graduation."

The two of them stared wide-eyed again in the kitchen, and the hungry ghosts outside had long been forgotten...

And Gao Wei, who was waiting for dinner, suddenly said: "Why do I think it's not the right decision to let these two people prepare dinner?"
