Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Hmm! It's obviously Niu Lin meat, but it's so rich in fat!

That's right, after cutting it with a knife, you can even feel the blooming gravy...

Because it's baked on an open flame, the excess fat is dried off the instant it's cut...

In front of Liu Maoxing's judges, he cut the beef for five judges on the spot.

Because only Liu Maoxing knows where to cut the knife to make the excess fat flow out and dry...

Palm-sized roasted beef meat was placed on the plates of the five judges in turn.

Pure lean barbecue? Then let's try it! The five judges said and moved their knives and forks.

As soon as Niu Lin meat entered the mouth, several judges couldn't help but stare, and at the same time, they couldn't help chewing.

The barbecue in the mouth does not have the dry woody feeling of pure lean meat, but is full of fat, and at the same time, because it is grilled on an open fire, it is not greasy.

Boom! Dang...

There was only a small cracking sound, and the sound of some small object falling to the ground.

Everyone looked in the direction of Master Xie in surprise. I saw that his muscles were stretched again, and he seemed to be more expanded than before!

At the same time... at the collar of the short-sleeved floral shirt, the first button has actually burst open!

The eight elders of the Liu family have laughed like eight daisies. Originally, Erina caused the mutated clothes to burst before, which made them feel very passive. Now it seems that there is still a chance!

Obviously, from Master Xie's reaction, it can be seen that Liu Maoxing's last Roasted Niu Lin is slightly higher than the previous works!

Although it is still at the level of the signature dish of a two-star restaurant, there is still a slight difference...

That's how it is! By using the small holes that penetrate each and every one, and using an awl to smear the oil in the holes, not only does Niu Lin replenish the oil, but also each hole should be penetrated in both directions, and the excess oil will gradually flow out and be dried by an open flame. ...

Different from the previous 'Mourinho's Forced Marriage', we did not use lard oil with a strong flavor of animal fat, but a mixture of peanut oil and rapeseed oil, using the unique aroma of vegetable oil to enhance the flavor of beef...

Yes, there is almost nothing to be picky about the mastery of the heat and the control of the oil!

But... have you guessed who the 'Chinese hero' is? Tang Song asked.

Tang Song, Lei Yu and Xin Hushou looked at each other, but Master Xie put on a pair of sunglasses and said, Is it Wuhou Zhuge Kongming?

Although Master Xie is quite old, his mind is still bright, and the most important thing is that the origin of the Luo family he inherited from him is Zhuge Wuhou's army chef!

Therefore, Master Xie has a better understanding of Zhuge Kongming's deeds and is easier to associate.

Zhuge Kongming? Then what deeds do these six dishes represent? Tang Song still didn't see it.

No, to be precise, it should include that cup of drink. There are seven things in total, which can be said to represent the same deed...that is 'seven captures and seven moves'! Master Xie said.

Seven captures and seven attacks? Do you mean... the great battle that put down the Nanman?

That's right, I didn't realize it until I tasted the last dish of 'Vegetarian Oil Niu Lin'. The last dish should represent the 'Fire-burning Rattan Armor' in the final battle! Afterwards, with this impression, I reversed the previous six dishes , drinks, that is to say...

The first Hot and Sour Bun, with sour hidden in the spicy, represents the first capture. Meng Huo, the leader of the barbarians at that time, was captured because he was careless.

The second course of Eight Flavors Juice is made of fruits that have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, which represents the second capture. The chefs accompanying the army of Wuhou cracked the poisonous water in the Nanman area, so that the Shu army marched normally and defeated the Meng Dynasty again. get.

The third dish of Jiu Niang Osmanthus Duck, the blend of high-grade liquor and duck meat flavor represents the third capture. Meng Huo ordered his younger brother Meng You's Zhajiang to be found out, but instead was drunk by Marquis Wu with fine wine, which made Meng Huo lose his inner responsibility. capture.

The fourth beggar's chicken, a roast chicken covered in soil, represents the fourth capture. After Meng Huo was defeated again, he fell into a pit trap and was captured.

The fifth mirror soup, the crucian carp soup that can reflect his appearance, represents the fifth capture, which was offered to Marquis Wu by the leaders of other tribes that Meng Huo was betrayed by.

The sixth 'fried chicken nugget', the fried chicken nugget with a toothpick inserted in it, represents the sixth capture. Meng Huo sent someone to feign surrender again, but was found out and the weapon was confiscated...

And the last Su You Niu Lin is the seventh capture of the fire-burning rattan armor soldier! Master Xie explained.

Indeed, as long as you see the last fire-roasted rattan armor soldier, you can actually infer the meaning of the first six dishes in reverse!

Marquis Wu has the merits of putting an end to the war in southern Xinjiang, and the merits of governing the land of Shu, which is enough to be called a hero! Several other judges also nodded.

At this time, Master Xie thought of more...

As a descendant of Bai Luo's lineage, Master Xie certainly knew that the powerful cooks under Marquis Wu...

Deciphering the poisonous spring, brewing the wine that made Meng You drunk, using Sichuan food to instigate Yang Feng, the cave master of Yinzhi Cave...all came from the cook of the Shu Kingdom at that time!

It can be said that the Shu army was able to fight in the miasma-ridden southern Xinjiang at that time, thanks to the army's cooks.

Especially Roche's lineage...

When the Shu army returned, due to the heavy casualties of the Southern Expedition, countless innocent souls haunted the river, making it impossible for the Shu army to sail.

The guide's opinion at the time was to use the earth method, that is, to use human heads to pay homage to the wronged souls.

But Marquis Wu thought that this would chill the hearts of the barbarians who had just returned... Fortunately, Luo's cook wrapped the meat with white flour and made the original soul-suppressing steamed buns to replace the barbarian's head and pay homage to the ghosts in the river. Let the wronged souls disperse...

Later, Soul Soul Manifestation also developed from generation to generation in the Luo family, until now, it has developed into Sishen Babao Seafood Soul Soul Manifestation!

Mu Guiying and Zhuge Liang were all questionable. The five judges also made a detailed evaluation of their cooking at this time. The eight elders of the Liu family and the Nakie family also became nervous.

On the contrary, the two parties in the duel, Liu Maoxing and Erina, are surprisingly relaxed now...

I don't know when it started, but the ownership of the legendary kitchen utensils seems to be less important in their eyes.

The reason why they are still going all out, apart from the dignity of being a cook, is because the opponent is the two of them...

During the showdown, both of them tried their best, but they calmed down before finally announcing the result.

Who do you think will win? Liu Maoxing asked from the side.

Of course it's me! Erina said.

If not? Liu Maoxing wanted to say, if not, could you please cooperate and help awaken the Spice Essence?

If not, it must be because the judges are all men, so the ratings are unfair! Erina said as a matter of course.

... Liu Maoxing was speechless.

At this moment, Master Xie stood up and announced: Ahem, after review and discussion with several other judges, the results of the third round of the Shenqian Cuisine Showdown are as follows! Representative Liu Maoxing scored 42.24...

Liu Maoxing's heart sank, and he thought to himself: I knew that the scoring criteria would be very strict in the third round, but I didn't expect it to be so strict! It doesn't sound like a high score!

...Separate family represents Liu Weihui with 40.62 points!

Liu Maoxing laughed all of a sudden, the smile seemed to Erina... very cheap!

The total score is 88.92 points for Liu Maoxing and 87.32 points for Liu Weihui! This year's 'Shenqian Cuisine Showdown', the main team wins! Master Xie officially announced directly.

Tch! Erina turned her head angrily.

Can you give me a celebratory hug? Or can I give you a comforting hug? Liu Maoxing walked over and said softly.

Go away! Erina still looked like losing her temper.

Of course, she also knew in her heart that it wasn't because the judges were chauvinistic...

But Liu Maoxing ignored it, and after Erina turned around, he hugged her directly from his side regardless of whether she agreed or not!

And Erina struggled a little bit, and there was no obvious resistance after that...

The two contestants embracing were in stark contrast to the members of the Liu family who were enthusiastically celebrating in the auditorium, and the dejected Nakiri Senzaemon.

It seemed that this scene touched them, making the members of the Liu family embarrassed to celebrate, and Senzaemon was even more furious!

This year, after the scoring is over, the two sides are the most harmonious... at least it's the most harmonious 'God's Cuisine Showdown'!

That's right, it's not just the 'God's Cuisine Showdown', this kind of etiquette of hugging each other to congratulate and comfort each other after the winner has been decided has not been seen for a long time...

...Is it really a courtesy hug? How do I feel...

Ahem! Lei Yu, you are already old, don't think so much!

The judges looked at this scene with gratification.

And at this moment, Master Xie suddenly said: Hahaha, it's nice to be young! One is 'beating the husband with a stick', and the other wants to 'catch seven and seven vertical'?

Erina froze for a moment, then shook her head forcefully, hitting Liu Maoxing's nose with the back of her head!

Ah! Wait, wait! I didn't mean that at all! I simply chose the deeds of Marquis Wu... Liu Maoxing said while covering his nose.

Huh! Don't explain, aren't you very good? Then 'seven captures and seven verticals'... Now this is the second time you beat me, before you beat me seven times, if I win, hehe ...You just wait to be the beaten Yang Zongbao! Erina said coldly.

And Liu Maoxing suddenly asked back in a twitch: Then what if I really beat you seven times?

So confident? Okay! If you can beat me seven times, I can also learn from Meng Huo, and Marquis Wu will never rebel in his life! But if you let me win... In the future, even your secretary will be replaced by a man. Bar!

Can I go back on my word now? Liu Maoxing confessed.

Hehe, what do you think?

...

With Erina's strength and talent, even Liu Maoxing would not dare to say that if they fight seven times, they can win each time!

But after Erina finished speaking, she did something and walked back to Nakiri's house. Seeing Nakiri Zongwei's provocative eyes, and Alice hiding behind Nakiri Zongwei, Liu Maoxing did not dare to go there now...

I had no choice but to take a resentful look at the master, I don't know why this person has cheated me all of a sudden!

In fact, it is not surprising that Master Xie would think of this direction. After all, in many Yuan Dynasty ditties, seven captures and seven verticals are already compared to the matter between men and women. It's an elegant hall, but who is Master Xie?

When he was young, Bada Hutong was still open... I guess he was a frequent visitor there!

When Master Xie got close to Liu Maoxing later, he whispered: Young man, just be content! At least you have a goal, don't you? If she wins once, you have to 'change even the secretary into a man', the other way around. That is, if you win seven times in a row...

... Liu Maoxing couldn't help showing a look of pain and happiness. He didn't know if Erina meant that, but he didn't dare to ask!

The duel part of Shenqian Cuisine Showdown is over, but there is still a follow-up process. The most important thing is naturally the transfer of the custody of Legendary Kitchen Utensils Yonglin Knife!

Witnessed by the five judges, the Yonglin Knife, which had been kept by the branch family for fifty years, was handed over to the main family again...

Although most people won't feel anything, the atmosphere of Yuanyue College's Between Moon and Sky will change a little from this year...

Fifty years, and finally the Yonglin Sword is back! said the elder of the First Clan after receiving the wooden box from Senzaemon.

Not only Nakiri Senzaemon frowned, but Liu Maoxing felt dissatisfied...

Let yourself be the representative of this method, which is already disgraceful, do you still want to ridicule it?

But what is unexpected is that the elder of the first clan said: Counting it from a hundred years ago, it was first released in the master's house for fifty years, and then in your separated house for fifty years. There is not much difference... ...As for what will happen ten years later, I will leave it to future generations! However, during these ten years, if the branch family has any special needs and wants to use the Yonglin Knife, the gate of the Artifact Ancestral Hall will always be open to you!

Master Xie nodded in satisfaction, his hard work was finally not in vain, the words of the elders of the first clan undoubtedly meant to seek peace.

If the master's family lost, those few clan elders would not be able to say such admitting words...

But now that they have won, no matter how they won, at least they can say something for peace.

Yeah. Senzaemon just nodded.

Master Xie said at this time: By the way, I heard that the child Liu Maoyuan will be transferred to Yuanyue Academy soon, right?

That's right, we do intend to give it a try... said the elder of the first clan.

But it's wrong for you to 'take advantage' like this! Master Xie said solemnly.

this……

I don't think it's better than this! Afterwards, the two of you will hold a mutual exchange event. The Yuanyue Academy will give a few places to the master's family, and the master's ancestral house will also be open to people who have a limited number of people from the branch family... It is equivalent to the chef of the Liu family. What about the authority of my disciples? Master Xie said.

On the surface, it looks like the Nakiri family is taking advantage of this!

Because they gave the Liu family a chance to enroll as ordinary students, they might be expelled within a few months...

However, considering the difference in the capabilities of the two companies in terms of cooking education, it can't be said that they are taking advantage!

Just like now, Erina immediately said without losing face: I don't want to come and stay in the house!

I don't want either... Alice also looked dissatisfied.

At the same time, the two women looked at Master Xie with suspicious eyes!

Arrange Liu Maoyuan to Yuanyue, and then they will leave?

What kind of heart is this guy pretending to be?

Master Xie naturally thought of this, and immediately said: No, the educational philosophy here in the ancestral house is not suitable for cooks who lay the foundation, but some cooks who already have their own style may gain more here. big……

Senzaemon didn't know what he thought of, and said after hearing the words: Yes! If you agree, I will call a 'successor' of Totsuki, who came to the ancestral house... he can be regarded as half of my disciple ...Of course, you don't need to teach him anything, and how much you can get depends on his own ability! Similarly, I will not give Liu Maoyuan any preferential treatment. I'm sorry.

Is it just a 'half disciple'... Then we have some core secrets, and we won't open them to him.

Master Xie didn't get involved in the following matters. What he cared about was not the process of communication between the two families, but wanted to promote this tradition while he was still there...

In the past 100 years, except for the Shenqian Cuisine Showdown, the two families have almost never communicated with each other. Now there is an opportunity for communication. Although it may cause conflicts due to contact, there are also more Channels of mutual communication!

Getting the Yonglin Sword again, the elders of the first family had mixed feelings in their hearts, and at the same time, they did not forget the great hero this time, and immediately said: Ah Xing, come! Since you won the Yonglin Sword ', we believe that you can master it too... give it a try!

The elder of the first family said, and solemnly took out the Yonglin knife...

Hearing this, Liu Maoxing was also very interested in this legendary kitchen utensil, and stepped forward to take the Yonglin Knife handed over by the old hands of the First Clan, while the others also looked at this scene solemnly...

There are two kinds of people who can control legendary kitchen utensils. One is the strongest cook whose cooking skills have reached the level of a dragon chef. They can use any legendary kitchen utensils...or any legendary kitchen utensils , all recognized the status of Long Chef!

It can even be inferred from the situation in recent years that whenever a new Dragon Chef appears, there will be a legendary kitchen utensil that will appear in front of the new Dragon Chef through space.

There is another kind of person, the cook who is selected by the legendary kitchen utensils, who can display the ability of a magic weapon when the cooking skills are not high!

For example, in the era of China, the heirs of Yonglin Dao are Liu Maoxing and Ren, the heir of Jialou Luo Dao is Lan Feihong, the heir of Greedy Wolf Pot is also Ren, and the heir of Lingzangku is Jie. Lu……

There may not be only one heir for a kind of kitchenware, there may be none, or there may be multiple heirs. Similarly, one person can inherit many kinds of kitchenware!

And when the legendary kitchen utensils are held by people they recognize, they will all bloom with special marks...

The moment Liu Maoxing held the Eternal Lin Knife, in the eyes of everyone, only heard a dragon chant coming from nowhere, and at the same time a phantom of a green dragon appeared out of thin air, hovering beside Liu Maoxing!

After that, Qinglong escaped into the Yonglin Sword again, and at this time, there was a pattern of no Qinglong on the Yonglin Sword!

Seeing this, Liu Lousan was very discerning, and immediately asked someone to bring a frozen sea bream. Naturally, there will be no shortage of ingredients in the Liu family's main house...

Tyrannosaurus pattern! It really appeared! It is the 'tyrannosaurus pattern' that appeared in the hands of the ancestors a hundred years ago in the records! The elder of the first clan said excitedly after looking closely at it.

At the same time, there was a slight change in the way he looked at Liu Maoxing...

Look at this, the Balong pattern has been extinct for a hundred years?

People from other families were equally excited when they saw this scene, even Master Lin Yi was a little moved...

Although both of them have their own exclusive artifacts, when Lin Yi broke through the Dragon Chef, he was recognized by the Lan family's Garlou Luo Sword nearby, while Master Xie obtained the Demon Saint Bronze Artifact... ...This makes him quite regretful, and he would rather get the soul treasury that his father once owned.

It's a pity that since Liu Maoxing and Lan Feihong didn't know what to do for the first time, and lost all the legendary kitchen utensils except the Yonglin Knife and the Garouluo Knife, the Ling Zangku has never been seen again until today. born.

But both of them got the approval of the legendary kitchen utensils only after they became the Dragon Chef. For example, Lin Yi also tried it before becoming the Dragon Chef, but Galou Luodao ignored him at all...

The two of them seem to be successful people who have achieved fame and married a well-matched rich lady, but now Liu Maoxing hooked up Bai Fumei when he was still a poor boy...

It is said that the 'Yonglin Knife' can restore the freshest ingredients to the freshest state...Quick! Try it! Master Xie said curiously.

Just at this moment, the frozen sea bream was also delivered, and Senzaemon, Erina and others also gathered around at this time.

But Liu Maoxing's thoughts diverged again, and before he cut the knife, he suddenly said: Can the ingredients that have lost their freshness be returned to the freshest state? Then if I use it to cut kimchi, can it turn into cabbage after cutting?

...
