Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Isn't it...a bit of a waste?"

Of course it’s a waste, for Liu Maoxing, it’s just right, that’s seven or eight servings for ordinary people, plus Liu Maoxing is tasting, most of the dishes are only tasted for the first bite, only some tastes are more complicated, or depending on the location, Only taste a few more mouthfuls of dishes that change in taste.

In this way, the "burden" of Takawako and Miwako is too heavy...

However, although the two women have very different personalities, they are both able to abide by the ethics that cooks should have, such as respect for ingredients.

When cooks try new dishes, they often need to waste a lot of ingredients. This is unavoidable, but there are unwritten rules in the cooking world, that is, when creating new recipes, all kinds of defective products and semi-finished products that are "accompanying" , must also be given to other people to eat as much as possible, instead of throwing it all away.

Usually, in many cases, cooks don’t want the process of developing new dishes by themselves to be known by outsiders. If the “insiders” don’t have enough food for those failed products, they can often choose to “return the pot”, that is, use the failed products as Ingredients, cook again...

At that time, it will naturally change beyond recognition, even if you donate it, you don't have to worry about being discovered the secret of your new dishes.

Of course, if it is a normal operating loss, there is no way around it.

For example, among the thirty-nine guest rooms today, none of them called "room cooking service", but the pre-processed ingredients had to be prepared. As a result, when the best tasting period was about to pass, the Toda sisters could only contact other departments. If you need to use it, send these pre-processed ingredients over, and if you don't send it out, you can only throw it away...

However, this is due to the responsibility to the diners, and the unavoidable loss is naturally not a waste of ingredients!

In daily life, many cooks don't waste ingredients. Most of them often cook all kinds of delicacies in order to reward themselves, but they don't throw away...

Even Liu Maoxing, when he is not a taster, will not waste ingredients in order to taste more dishes. At most, he relies on his large appetite to increase the number of ingredients to taste, or to share with others!

Ren in the Chinese era even had the habit of exalting meat ingredients before cooking them.

As for now... Liu Maoxing is appreciating dishes as a connoisseur, and how to avoid wasting the remaining ingredients is the other party's business.

The same is true for the Toda sisters. The two of them are not connoisseurs, and they only regard themselves as ordinary diners. After eating the first few dishes, they will not let people from the high-end VIP western restaurant give them away.

As for how to deal with these dishes in the future, it is also the other party's business!

When Guihezi and Meihezi Zhongdao left the stage, they also noticed that the people in the high-end VIP western restaurant looked at them strangely, and couldn't help but glared at Liu Maoxing angrily...

But after all, the population is short, and it is not good to say anything in front of other people. Guihezi left with a cold snort, and at the same time left a sentence: "Chef Liu, I will go to the kitchen to check the preparation of the pre-processed ingredients!"

After Miwako's initial anger, she immediately changed into a charming expression with a smile on her face. Although she didn't speak, it made people feel as if she was saying: Good brother, you wait!

After tasting the last dish, Liu Maoxing picked up a pen and paper and began to write in an orderly manner...

In fact, the people in the high-end VIP western restaurant are also anxious, for fear that Liu Maoxing will misremember, or forget which dishes.

Ordinary tasters will give comments immediately after tasting a dish, even if there are multiple dishes waiting, they will not taste continuously.

But Liu Maoxing has a total of 200 dishes, and he still wants to eat in one sitting, so he starts to raise his pen...

Generally speaking, it is strange to remember every dish clearly like this, right?

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Maoxing had done the same thing several times before, and if there were no omissions, the people in the high-end VIP western restaurant would not trust him to do so.

Afterwards, Liu Maoxing also proved with facts that at least in terms of cooking, his memory will not have any omissions!

Taste 200 dishes in a row, and then raise the pen to list and correct the 200 dishes that can be improved one by one. Others that are finished products have roughly written the general direction that can be further improved , although it's just "cooking on paper", but the three hours past zero is enough to save these cooks a year or even years of time, which is also the value of a taster.

One tasting by Erina is enough to save a star chef several months or even years of time. Is a star chef, especially a two-star and three-star chef, worth a million yen for a few months? Of course worth it!

"Okay! Take them all back!" Liu Maoxing said, and handed the stack of papers directly to Chef Thomas who came over in person.

Not folded this time...

It would be embarrassing for the newly promoted chef who was still unknown two days ago to point out the omissions in the dishes, but now that Liu Maoxing is a taster, they just came to ask Liu Maoxing to find out the omissions, there is no need to hide anything.

Therefore, cooks looking for appraisers hope that the other party's criticisms will be as harsh as possible, while looking for gourmets is hoping to praise themselves as high as possible to make an appointment!

It has nothing to do with face, it's just because the former is helping him improve himself. If he only praises himself, isn't the commission wasted?

Looking for gourmets is mostly to promote yourself, and being praised by well-known gourmets in gourmet magazines is of great help to the reputation of the cook!

"Student Liu Maoxing's talent is indeed unique, and Nakiri Erina's God's Tongue is nothing more than that?" Thomas sighed.

Liu Maoxing said half-jokingly: "I can eat better than her!"

"Not only can I eat, but I have also met many other tasters. The number of dishes they can taste in a period of time has nothing to do with their food intake... Even many tasters are used to tasting food before tasting. Eat first for an hour or two, and then taste at most a few three or five dishes. If it is not a set of dishes, you have to clean your mouth in the middle.

I have never met Ms. Erina, but other appraisers will definitely not be able to do what Liu Maoxing did. "Thomas shook his head.

In fact, these Liu Maoxing also know that they are just worried that the feeling of fullness will affect their judgment, and they are also worried that the residual taste of the previous dish will damage the next dish...

On the contrary, when you are a gourmet or a judge, you don’t need to pay attention to these things. If you are really affected, it can only be said that the following dishes are not skilled enough and the cooking is slow!

However, whether it is the tongue of the gods or the half-superior sense of taste, the perception of taste can be said to be "perceived", so whether it is Erina or Liu Maoxing, they don't care about these, and even most tasters are unwilling to taste. Both Liu Maoxing and Erina did not object to the spicy food for fear of hurting their taste buds!

Because the "God's Tongue" is so unique for tasters, or for human beings.

"Thank you, Chef Thomas, for your compliment, but I'm still an intern. Chef Thomas should call me 'Chef Liu'."

Liu Maoxing's words were obviously a joke, but Thomas really sighed: "Hey, actually, I hope that classmate Liu Maoxing can really be 'Chef Liu'... But I believe that classmate Liu Maoxing will definitely be better than that in the future." Chef Liu 'Broader space!"

At this moment, Thomas obviously hesitated, but finally said: "Student Liu Maoxing seems to have encountered some troubles now? We can help you solve this kind of small trouble, but I believe you don't want to solve it like this. Come on Those who have left a stain on their internship..."

"That's right, thank you Chef Thomas for your kindness." Liu Maoxing nodded.

"Actually... I think Joe... ahem, the other party may not be trying to make life difficult for classmate Liu Maoxing, maybe he just wants classmate Liu Maoxing to 'help'." Thomas left after speaking.

And what Thomas said reminded Liu Maoxing, and he also found a suitable reason for the thirty-nine guest rooms, not only did they not have a sudden attack all day, but they were as calm as stagnant water!

"Could it be...they just came to scare me?" Liu Maoxing said to himself.

Indeed, perhaps Qiao Ya's purpose was just so that Liu Maoxing would not make trouble for him in the subsequent "quarterly promotion evaluation", so he frightened himself first...

If this is the case, the other party should have the next move tomorrow, right?

At the same time, from Thomas' attitude, Liu Maoxing could see the attitude of most of the chefs in Yuanyue Resort...neutral!

After all, with their talents, whether they are running their own restaurants or other large hotels, they can show their strengths, and staying in Yuanyue Resort is mostly to improve their skills, so many of them have the same skills as Ichiro Tanaka. Same, unwilling to form gangs.

They don't care who the boss is, as long as Yuanyue Resort remains Yuanyue Resort!

But Liu Maoxing knew that with his ambition to cut thistle, once he came to power, the teaching purpose of Yuanyue Academy would change, and it was impossible for Yuanyue Resort to remain the current "Yuanyue Resort"...

Compared with other commercial organizations, the current "Yuanyue Resort" actually prefers and supervises the managers who are recruited to further improve, so when weighing the recruiting personnel, the proportion of "potential" will be very large

As for the "evil way" that allows other people to make their own special dishes, and seems to have the same bonus effect, Liu Maoxing is very interested.

"How could Qiaoya spend so much effort on a quarterly evaluation? No! Even if the official chef under Qiaoya's guidance has been promoted a lot this season, how far can he be promoted before the start of the plan to cut thistle?" ? Certainly not only for Qiao Ya's subordinates, this quarterly evaluation, there may be many people who cut thistles to emerge..." Liu Maoxing nodded secretly.

"Then let me see the true colors of your 'heretics'! No matter what, my bottom line will not change! If they really pass the test, I will not stop them just because they are the subordinates of Nakieji , but if it is really 'deceitful', I will never give in just because of this threat!"

Liu Maoxing decided secretly... At the same time, unconsciously, with Liu Maoxing's respect for cooking, his "Food Control" became more stable and stronger.

After a large number of tastings, the growth of culinary skills also made Liu Maoxing feel sad and happy.

The joy is that from the present point of view, if the strength of the tasting is the same, in three or four days, I should be able to upgrade to the "super three-star", and the "sorrow" is also this matter...

It seems that after the special level, the increase in difficulty of each star is equivalent to the previous whole level!

It's no wonder that starting from the special level, every star upgrade has an extra bonus of super perception...
