Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Liu Maoxing glanced at Alice who was choosing ingredients with some concern. Her cooking skills were the most difficult for Liu Maoxing to judge, because her system was different from other cooks.

It is a new cuisine that uses various high (black) technological means to process the taste and texture of cuisine from the molecular level. Although the basic knife skills are the same, it is difficult to distinguish her from ordinary cooks. Put them together and compare.

However, if you look at the results alone, Alice's cooking can definitely rank among the top ten of the annuals, better than Mito Yumei and others!

However, Miyamoto Taro, the old senior, doesn't seem like someone who can accept new cuisine...

Half an hour later, when the students had already selected the ingredients, and most of them started the preprocessing process, Miyamoto also started the teaching.

What surprised Liu Maoxing was that the old man actually started telling stories!

Is chicken soup for the soul also considered a kind of soup cuisine? Listening to these inspirational stories from you will improve everyone's cooking skills? Sweat dripped from Liu Maoxing's forehead...

In Miyamoto's words, making soup is just like life, and the longer it takes, the more flavorful it becomes, so he started cooking chicken soup for the soul!

But apart from Liu Maoxing's dislike of chicken soup for the soul and the like, Miyamoto Taro's story is indeed very inspirational and true, because it is his own story!

When Miyamoto was in Yuanchu Middle School at the beginning, his grades were not outstanding, and he barely passed the internal promotion exam. Almost everyone thought that he could not survive a month, but with his hard work, others could learn it once. It takes two or three times to practice!

Although I have no talent or special talent, but with hard work, I survived a month, two months, accommodation and training, and the first semester...

As for elite activities such as the Autumn Trials, he has always been insulated from him, and being promoted to the second year is entirely dependent on luck.

Every time Liu Maoxing hears this, what emerges in his mind is another good-for-nothing guy, that is, the chief pilot of a rice bowl research institute!

It's just that Miyamoto doesn't have the backbone of an airplane head, but he works harder than the airplane head...

According to Miyamoto, he only had four halberd-eating games during his school days, each time he was forced to eat the halberd, and...he lost every time!

But at the same time, none of the four opponents who defeated him made it to graduation, but Miyamoto did!

And two months before graduation, with a vegetable tofu soup, won the tenth seat of the top ten...

Liu Maoxing couldn't help complaining in his heart: Maybe you are so good at cooking, you can even cook soup!

After telling the story of chicken soup, it was a routine to analyze the philosophy of life shown in the story, and it was not until an hour and a half later that it finally talked about soup dishes.

Starting from his own encounters, he talked about the Soup Way he felt from his life...

...In short, making soup is the same as being a human being. The longer you experience it, the more delicious it will be. And the hardships you have endured are like every ingredient in the soup, adding color and flavor to your life!

creak...

When Miyamoto finished speaking, a noise came from Alice's modern equipment.

And it can be clearly seen that on this cabinet-shaped device the size of an arcade machine, some of the more than ten test tubes are stirring automatically, some are heating, and some are rotating and centrifuging...

A dozen kinds of materials are processed separately!

Huh? Did I interrupt your storytelling? I'm sorry, I will improve the sound in the future. But... in the kitchen, it's not good to be able to bear the sound? Alice provocatively said to the other students.

But from Liu Maoxing's point of view, it was obvious that Miyamoto had also been provoked.

The combat power of the second lady in this aspect is really no lower than that of the eldest lady!

If Erina is arrogant and forgets Jiao, then Alice is naked and willful...

It's really a slap in the face! Miyamoto was there just now, saying that you should pay attention to the heat, time, and the combination of ingredients when cooking soup. Alice immediately used an unknown method to process each ingredient separately. After setting the temperature, With the help of equipment, start heating at the most suitable temperature for each ingredient and spice.

As for... Some flavors require a certain period of interaction between ingredients and spices to produce?

Apparently, Alice did not ignore this point. From time to time, two or more centrifuged liquids were taken out to mix, and then heated at an appropriate temperature, and the mixture was centrifuged again after a certain time...

The final filtering method shows the convenience of high technology!

After mixing, it became the first-class chicken soup that Alice had calculated from the beginning, and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Maoxing couldn't help but nodded secretly. Although Alice's cooking method is quite different from other people's, it does take advantage of high technology, but this kind of knowledge and the ability to decompose and calculate have far surpassed other people's ability to quickly calculate ingredients. , almost comparable to Liu Maoxing's Spice Inequality under Advanced One Star!

Alice filled out a small bowl, and while serving it to Miyamoto, Liu Maoxing also filled out some to taste.

Miyamoto just emphasized the effect of time, fire, combination of ingredients and spices on soup dishes. Alice put a bowl of face-slapping works on the table with an even more uncomfortable smile. In front of him, the old man couldn't help but turn dark.

Miyamoto and Liu Maoxing tasted Alice's soup at the same time, and they couldn't help being stunned afterwards!

This soup... Liu Maoxing couldn't help turning his head to look at the time again, making sure it was really only three o'clock.

Alice seemed to enjoy Miyamoto's reaction, and explained slowly: The so-called 'fire' refers to the reaction temperature of ingredients or spices when the 'fragrance reaction' occurs, and 'time' refers to the time required for the reaction. As for the combination of ingredients...Of course, after each ingredient has completed the 'fragrance reaction', it can be mixed together according to the proportion!

Of course, some require different ingredients or ingredients in spices to react, so use centrifugation to extract the parts that need to be reacted and create the best reaction temperature and ratio for them. This is also the most effective method. The ingredients themselves have also been purified first, sifting out unnecessary fats and the like...

The reason why soup sometimes needs to be cooked slowly is that some reactions are very slow, and if the temperature is too high, other reactions will develop into the result of 'bad taste'! So by processing them separately, not only will the taste be more pure, but also for some 'stubborn' reactions, you can save time by raising the temperature and speeding up!

If calculated according to the normal way...my chicken broth is about the result of four hours of cooking, and there is still room for improvement.

With such a domineering face, Liu Maoxing could imagine the old man Miyamoto's mood now.

In just two hours, including the time to process the ingredients...the effect of four hours has been achieved, and indeed, as Alice said, the taste is better and purer, which is at the level of advanced five-star!

The way of making it may seem weird to other cooks, but it is indeed a very good chicken broth.

Although he has not entered the Special Class, if Liu Maoxing does not take action, the other students in this cooking room may not be able to do better!

However……

Unqualified! Miyamoto said seriously.

Huh? Alice first showed a look of astonishment, and then began to question.

Old man! You don't mean revenge, right? Failed? Are you kidding me? If this soup fails, no one here can pass! You can't find a bowl from other students that is better than mine. If it’s delicious soup, I won’t accept your narrow-minded random punishment!”

The old man said that the old man's 'judgment criteria are different'! Miyamoto said firmly.

Hehe, your judging criteria won't be that you must use your old-fashioned skills and theories to cook soup to be considered successful, right? Then your criteria may not be convincing, after all, the chef's work is presented to the diners , not for some cooking veterans! Alice said aggressively.

No, it's not because your production process is different from what I understand, but because I can taste it, your soup lacks key things. Without 'those', although now your soup is more delicious than others , but there is no possibility of improvement. Miyamoto didn't look like he was lying.

Huh? Missing 'key thing'? What is it? Alice asked.

... Miyamoto fell silent.

The corners of Alice's eyes twitched, and she said in extreme displeasure, You don't mean to say, but you don't know what's missing, do you?

Indeed, I can't describe it, maybe... it's the cook's heart! Miyamoto said.

This kind of idealism obviously couldn't satisfy Alice, but when she questioned Miyamoto further, Liu Maoxing suddenly said, No, it's not as advanced as 'cooker's heart'. Think I know what's missing! Chef Miyamoto, we'll try again later, okay?

Miyamoto looked at him, then at the time, and then nodded: Of course it's no problem, but the time is only two hours, is it really enough?

More than enough, after all, I already have this! Liu Maoxing raised Alice's soup in his hand.

Huh? You also think there is something missing in my soup? What are you thinking? Are you already sixty years old this year? Alice said angrily.

No, it's not about your 'new cuisine', but something is really missing... Don't be impatient, you'll know after a taste, now let's borrow your soup!

Liu Maoxing did taste it, because Alice's cooking method is too pure, leaving out all the steps she thinks are useless, and this kind of soup is delicious, but there is no soup expert or taster of God's Tongue. Master Jian, you can also taste the lack of things here.

To use Alice's words to explain, it is the lack of some reactions that are not necessary in the existing theory, but actually play a role!

At least for now, new cuisine can't replace cooking skills, because modern high-tech can't calculate everything, just calculate the main reaction, it will only make the cooking stick to advanced, and the effect of chefs no difference...
