Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Welcome everyone to participate in the 'eel feast' organized by my 'Yuanyue Training Hokkaido Branch' this time. I believe everyone knows that just this morning, our department auctioned it at a high price and salvaged it yesterday. The giant eel..."

The eel feast is about to begin, and at this time Hiroi is giving a speech on the main stage...

Well, Liu Maoxing is actually quite skeptical about the so-called "busy schedule". If it happened before his time travel, everyone present here would be regarded as upper-class people. Attending this kind of dinner is indeed a way of showing face to the host, but in this world... ...In fact, in their opinion, the main purpose of coming here is to taste the taste of giant eels, right?

After all, this thing may be tasted once in a lifetime.

This time, the "eel banquet" is in the form of a western-style banquet, which is similar to a buffet!

Now there are many Hokkaido specialties and desserts on the tables, and there are also many delicacies from other regions for self-serve.

Although it is an eel banquet, everyone knows that today's protagonist is a giant eel, but obviously other foods are also provided at the banquet.

After all, there are more than 200 guests, and the giant eel will also have other functions afterwards, such as a large part of which will be distributed to other institutions in Yuanyue and left as research samples.

What was actually used for this dinner was about 150 catties of eel meat...

But it was already enough, after all, two hundred guests weighed an average of half a catty each!

Hiroi talked for a long time, and finally got stuck on the topic: "...For the giant eel this time, we not only invited professionals from the 'Engetsu Central Gourmet Organization' to cook it, but also a person who happened to be in charge of it in Hokkaido. Liu Maoxing, the ninth member of Yuanyue College's top ten outstanding students in the grade assessment, is in charge of cooking spontaneously!

It is worth mentioning that the "professionals" of the Yuanyue Central Gourmet Organization are actually a group of students... Once again, on behalf of the Yuanyue Group, I also sincerely hope that everyone will appreciate the representatives of the Yuanyue Central Gourmet Organization and Yuanyue College. The food is satisfactory. "

Tsk tsk, so there is a kind of old woman who is a terrible creature. Ever since Liu Maoxing heard people call him "Ms. Hiroi" instead of "Ms. Hiroi", she has been prepared for this kind of thing!

Sure enough, the so-called opening speech revolved around how to prove that the culinary representatives of the "Central Gourmet Organ" and "Yuanyue Academy" were all "students", and implicitly put them in the positions of representatives of the "Central Gourmet Organ" and "Yuanyue Academy". " on the position.

The two to three hundred guests present were obviously also very interested in the students of the "Central Gourmet Organization" who have been active in various rumors recently, as well as the ten outstanding students of Yuanyue.

And at this moment, Liu Maoxing also appeared on stage at some point, and took the microphone from Hiroi's hand...

Hiroi hesitated for a while, but did not refuse, after all, Liu Maoxing is one of the top ten, so there is nothing wrong with him giving the speech now!

It's just a little doubtful, in her expectation, Liu Maoxing should be frowning now, waiting for the moment to "make a fool of himself"...

"Cough cough, hello everyone, I am Liu Maoxing. I think I have a good relationship with Hokkaido. When I won the 'Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest' half a year ago, it was the first time I was on the news... Haha, okay After that, please enjoy the dishes prepared for you by the "Yuanyue Training Hokkaido Branch under Yuanyue Academy" before tasting the dishes that I and the students of "Yuanyue Academy's Central Gourmet Organization" bring to you. Banquet!"

When Liu Maoxing returned Mike to Hiroi, seeing his smiling face, Hiroi couldn't help but glared at him.

Obviously, I also heard that Liu Maoxing intends to reiterate that the Central Gourmet Agency and Yuanyue Training are both affiliated institutions of Yuanyue College... Hiroi's words before were indeed confusing this concept.

After Liu Maoxing stepped down, when he passed by Lian Nantaro, the latter whispered next to him, "Hmph, what's the use of being quick-talking? Wait, you're still going to lose your adulthood as the 'Ten Heroes of Yuanyue'! Maybe at this time, the 'Central Gourmet Agency' and 'Yuanyue Academy' are juxtaposed, and you will look better!"

"Hehe, think about it clearly, this is a large buffet banquet... You don't have many opportunities to use the power of 'demons', who gave you the illusion that you can 'shame me'?"

After Liu Maoxing finished speaking, he walked back to his cooking table...

That's right, at this moment, Liu Maoxing and the students of the Central Gourmet Organization are cooking in the banquet hall!

They are located on the left and right of the main stage respectively.

Among them, Liu Maoxing only occupied a large personal cooking table, while at the central gourmet agency, there were more than a dozen people using a combined cooking table, or a cooking area. In comparison, Liu Maoxing's momentum was indeed much larger than that of Liu Maoxing.

Hiroi obviously made this temporary arrangement, as if to whet the appetite. Instead of cooking the giant eel before the banquet, he prepared other delicacies and drinks for the guests to enjoy. After the banquet started, Liu Maoxing And the people from the central gourmet agency started to cook on the spot...

Regarding this form, although Liu Maoxing felt that Hiroi had ulterior motives, the guests, including Mr. Horikoshi, seemed not surprised!

Obviously, this is indeed a very common banquet method... especially in banquets where special ingredients are tasted.

And this form of on-the-spot cooking is also an expression of the guests' respect for the cooks and special ingredients, and it is not a mentality of "seeing monkeys".

In addition, Liu Maoxing has already made up his mind, so naturally he will not refuse.

After the banquet started, in fact, most of the guests have been paying attention to the cooking process of the giant eels on both sides after taking some appetizers, aperitifs or desserts...

Some guests were in the banquet hall, talking to each other. After all, they were all in the culinary world. Taking advantage of the banquet to communicate with each other is one of the meanings of the banquet, but at the same time, they also glanced at Liu Maoxing and the others from time to time.

There are also some gourmets who don't care much about the "familiarity socialization" at this time, and they keep a certain distance at this time to ensure that the cooks will not be affected, and at the same time, they surround Liu Maoxing and the people of the central food agency...

By the way, there are still a group of people surrounding Erina.

As the tenth seat of the Ten Heroes, and also a blood relative of the Nakiri family, Erina is naturally also in the "guests". All by Erina's side.

Whether it's Erina's status as the "Descendant of the Gourmet Demon King" or her "God's Tongue" ability, it is natural that she will be another center of the banquet at this time.

But at this moment, Erina's attention is mostly on Liu Maoxing, Fei Shazi is helping her deal with the people around her, and Yu Mei is learning from Fei Shazi...

At this time, the giant eel has been lifted to the position of the main stage. Of course, there is also a liquid nitrogen cooling device on the main stage to ensure the preservation time of the giant eel.

Although cooking is about to start, even if it is not refrigerated, it is impossible to spoil it so quickly, but after all, it will be sent to all over the world, even the "Yuanyue International" in Northern Europe. Naturally It is better to extend the shelf life as much as possible.

The current temperature is slightly lower than zero degrees, which is the best storage temperature when the cell activity of giant eels has not been completely lost...

"Look, they're going up."

"Why is there only one of the ten heroes? Didn't he even bring an assistant?"

"Is it the same habit as the one in the first seat?"

"Impossible, half a year ago, I watched the final video of the 'Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest', and he had a collaborator at that time! And now that Yuanyue's first-year student is in the Hokkaido grade assessment, his collaborator It should be there too, right?"

"Indeed, it is indeed difficult for one person to cook such a large amount of ingredients. It is only the first time to divide the eel meat..."

As the original acquirer of the giant eel, the Hokkaido branch has the right to freely choose the parts it wants to use without destroying its research-worthy parts.

At this time, the giant eel will naturally not be placed directly on the ground like a dead snake, but placed on a temporary custom-made shelf, as if coiled and flying in the air. With the white mist generated by liquid nitrogen cooling, it seems "Dragon in the Cloud" is generally...

At the next moment, the gourmet who was still worried about Liu Maoxing's first step of "collecting materials" and encountering difficulties couldn't help swallowing the second half of the sentence!

I saw Liu Maoxing took out a kitchen knife that didn't look like a kitchen knife at all in size, and it didn't look like a kitchen knife for handling seafood... In short, it was the knife that looked as if it would be dismantled in the next second. Standing on the side of the giant eel, the "knife" that looks almost as long as a person is waving like a dancing stick!

At the same time, the other hand was actually still holding the tray, catching pieces of eel meat that were neatly divided without any fish bones...

As for the people from the "Central Gourmet Organization"... there were six people on the stage, carrying all kinds of tools for cutting large meat ingredients, and they were standing on the other side in a daze!

At first, I was intimidated by Liu Maoxing's seemingly rough sword skills and the detailed decomposition results, but after recovering, I didn't dare to approach right away...

Although Liu Maoxing seems to have amazing knife skills, normal people would never want to get close to someone wielding such a "kitchen knife" in the opposite direction!

Liu Maoxing is obviously confident in his knife skills, and dared to let his left hand hold the tray and extend it within the range of the "kitchen knife", but it doesn't mean that other people will trust him so much...

In case of a wave of hands, it is estimated that their meat is lying on the tray!

Not long after, a large tray was filled with two layers of eel meat that was covered with frost, and was carried back to the cooking table by Liu Maoxing.

After he left, the talents of the Central Gourmet Agency began to collect information...
