Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Okay, Sakura, didn't you just lose once? Don't be depressed anymore!" Yuuhime made a "vigorous" look, persuading Saito Sakura who looked very depressed.

"That's to say! Anyway, it's not like you haven't lost before... Didn't you say that you had a competition with her three years ago, and you lost as well?" Sugiyama said with narrowed eyes.

He was eliminated in the qualifiers before, and although he is still smiling now, he seems to be taking revenge on the society!

Yu Mei couldn't stand it and said: "If you don't know how to persuade others, then don't open your mouth! Ahem, Saito-san, you don't have to feel ashamed. In the future, my senior will probably not be able to win!"

"Hey, hey, when you are persuading people, there is no need to hit one more!" Jiu Wo Zhaoji, who came to make soy sauce, looked helpless.

"What does it matter to me whether he wins or loses?" Saito Sakura couldn't help but said.

"you……"

Just as Jiu Wo Zhaoji spoke, he was interrupted by Yi Sehui: "That's right, if you lose, you lose. As a real warrior, if you lose, you will..."

"That's right! We're going to do seppuku!" Saito Sakura said and had drawn out the long knife.

Taking advantage of Yu Ji, Liang Zi and Yu Mei's efforts to hold her back, Yishihui said in a sly way: "Ah, I want to say that if you lose, you have to work harder so that the other party will pay you back..."

At this time, Kuga Zhaoji saw that everyone was despising him or ignoring him as if nothing had happened, so he couldn't help but sternly said: "Enough! Is it possible for Saito Sakura to accept such flirtatious words? At this time..."

"Hmm! Isshiki-senpai is right. I'm going to continue to hone my cooking skills! I think there is still room for improvement in the cooking process." Saying that, Saito Sakura put away the knife and left for the kitchen.

"..."

"Kuga-senpai, what did you want to say just now?" Yuuji just noticed his appearance.

"It's okay!" Jiu Wo Zhaoji, who was 1.65 meters tall, suddenly seemed like a child who was angry.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is the match between Xiao Yumei and that worm man, how about it? Will you be afraid?" You Ji asked with some worry.

"Huh? What are you afraid of? It's just a first year...and I'm going to give it my all!"

...even when that guy isn't there! Yu Mei added another sentence in her heart.

"But that's a bug man! They're all bugs with one joint and one calf!" You Ji was shaking as she spoke.

"He doesn't dare to throw bugs over!" Yu Mei complained.

At this moment, You Ji and Liang Zi suddenly sang together and said, "But I really want to know..."

"Yes, yes, why is the topic of the competition the day after tomorrow 'Ma Po Tofu'?"

"Besides, Kuga-senpai, who has always had a good face, actually bumped headfirst into Ki Zhiguo-senpai, who cooks better than him..."

"Sister Ji Zhiguo also agreed to use 'Ma Po Tofu' as the topic!"

"I always feel that there must be something hidden in it..."

Jiuwo Zhaoji couldn't help but said: "Is it too loud for the two of you muttering in a low voice? I heard it all!"

It was later discovered that not only Yuji and Ryoko, but other people were also looking at him...

Now except for Liu Maoxing who is still "observing the growth and breeding of Kobe cattle" and has not come back, and Nakata Sokie who is "resting" and has just fallen asleep, other people from Pole Star House and Quasi Pole Star House are present, secretly watching Jiugao discipline.

Even Saito Sakura, who lost the game in the morning and went to the kitchen, couldn't help but retreat to the door, as if she was listening to something.

In the end, Yishihui clapped her hands suddenly, and said, "Don't ask any more questions! Everyone has their own secrets... There must be secrets between my classmate Jiu and classmate Ji Zhiguo that we don't want us to know!"

"Are you really helping me solve it? Thank you so much!" Jiu Wo gave the smiling Yishihui a hard look.

He found that none of these smiling guys, whether it was Isshiki Hui or Sugiyama Yoshi, was a good thing!

Especially recently, Yoshi Sugiyama even has a tendency to become Isshiki Kei's male secretary...

After a series of agitation, I finally couldn't help but say: "Okay! Actually, it's okay to tell you... I have a marriage contract with Ji Zhiguo!"

"Marriage?" Everyone asked in unison.

At the same time, there was a different (ba) kind (gua) brilliance in his eyes, watching Kuga Teruki who "revealed the news"!

"Wait, what do you mean 'in the first place' you have a marriage contract?" Ryoko asked curiously.

"It was because I was dissatisfied that I dumped her! Four years ago!" Jiuga Zhaoji said pretendingly relaxed.

"Dump, dump?"

"Well, it can also be unilaterally breaking up the marriage contract!" Jiuga Zhaoji seemed to give up on himself.

"Is it... because it's short?" Yuuhime measured Kuga Teruki a little bit with her eyes, obviously she wasn't saying that Ji Zhiguo was rather short!

"Of course not! Why do I look like I must have divorced because of low self-esteem, I just..."

"Ah! Is it because Ji Zhiguo-senpai is relatively 'flat'?" Liangzi said suddenly.

Afterwards, the girls present looked at the 1.65m Kuga Teruki with defensiveness and contempt, as if they were saying "I don't think you're short"!

"I'm just not happy about being arranged by someone! It has nothing to do with me or her!" Jiuga raised his tone and defended according to Ji.

"Speaking of which, isn't it something like a marriage contract that is only done by those with a high family name? What does Jiu my senior's house do?"

"Yes, yes! Even the Mito Group has such a big business, I haven't heard of Xiao Yumei's marriage..."

Yishihui suddenly remembered something: "By the way, speaking of it, I joined the class when I was in the second grade of the middle school, right? It seems... Ji Zhiguo also enrolled a few months after you came here!"

"Eh? Second year in the middle school? Isn't that the age of the second year in middle school?"

"Tsk tsk, did you already have a marriage contract when you were in the second year of middle school?"

"And when I was still in the second year of middle school, I would run away from marriage!"

"No, it should be said that during the second year of middle school, the most likely to escape marriage..."

The veins in Jiu Wo Zhaoji's head were throbbing, and he finally roared: "What's so annoying! And it's not about escaping marriage, it's just refusing to admit that kind of marriage contract! Speaking of which, I haven't agreed to it at all, have I? What is the marriage contract?" It's not established at all, is it?"

Jiu my senior is actually still a sophomore, right? This sentence emerged silently in everyone's heart.

Anti-marriage or something is actually a drama that everyone loves to see, but when I think that I have "dumped" Ji Zhiguo for a long time, the female compatriots present feel uncomfortable for Ji Zhiguo Ningning, who is beyond the camp!

And Jiuga explained one more sentence: "Jiuwo's ​​surname comes from 'Genji'... yes, it is the Genji of the general, and the branch I belong to is considered to be the more orthodox one among Jiuwo's ​​surnames. Let’s go. So there are some inexplicable rules, I can’t stand those, so I tore up my family tree four years ago and came to Yuanyue Academy.”

"Tear up... the family tree? It really is the rule of law society that saved you." Sugiyama, who also came from a family, couldn't help grinning.

In fact, after knowing the surname of "Kuga", Sugiyama Yoshi was doubting this.

There are two most distinguished surnames in the island nation, Minamoto and Heira, both are branches of the Emperor's family. The Emperor's lineage has no surnames, and the previous generals, except those who were born in the royal family, will verify in name whether they are true or not Let me prove that my ancestor is Genji or Heira, so that I can be justified.

Oda Nobunaga once claimed that the Oda clan originated from the Hira clan, and after the Tokugawa clan won the position of general, Tokugawa Ieyasu also called himself the elder of Genji.

The Jiuga surname is the surname produced when the Genji first split...

"Wait, if Jiuwo's ​​classmate is from that 'Jiuwo's ​​family', that means Senior Xiaolin..." Yishihui seemed to remember something.

"That's right, Sister Xiaolin's father is my... former housekeeper, but Sister Xiaolin doesn't really agree with them. They thought that Sister Xiaolin would persuade me to go back!" Jiuga said according to Ji.

Kobayashi gentian, the surname "Kobayashi" is common, but gentian...

The initial family crest of the Kuga family was "Five Chariots", and it was the first family to use "Rentian" as the family crest. Later, other families that started with Genji also began to use the family crest with "Rentian" .

Everyone didn't think in this direction before, but after knowing my background for a long time, associations will naturally arise!

"It's really complicated..." You Ji looked confused.

As for Sugiyama Yoshi, he sighed silently. It seems that the Kuga family, at least the Kuga Teruki branch, has very little restraint on the tribe!

In the case of the Sugiyama family...does he have the courage to say "no" to the family?

"Wait! The reason why senior Ji Zhiguo joined the 'Central Gourmet Organization' is also related to you?" Liangzi said suddenly.

Afterwards, all the people in the room stared at Jiuga Zhaoji, but he himself was somewhat careless about what it meant, and said with erratic eyes: "It shouldn't matter..."

The so-called "being a thief with a guilty conscience" probably means this!

"..." Everyone continued to look at him.

"Okay, okay! I admit...in fact, before the school festival last year, Ningning...ahem, Ji Zhiguo did come to me once and asked me, 'If I can become the most understanding in cooking' If you, the person who helped you, can you go back with me'... I didn't know what it meant at the time."

"really do not know?"

"Actually... it seems... I told her, 'You don't understand my cooking at all, and you can't help me at all'." Jiu Wo Zhaoji felt a little embarrassed.

"The most able to understand and help you? Or in cooking? Isn't that... a chef?"

"In that case..."

"Those puppet chefs who joined the 'Central Gourmet Organ', to some extent..."

"They are the most suitable people to be chefs!"

Apparently Nakirji chose to launch an attack at the "School Festival", and the last of the Ten Heroes who instigated it was Ji Zhiguo Ningning!

Jiu Wo Zhaoji, who has always been fearless and fearless, could not help shrinking his neck when he saw the angry faces of the crowd: "What are you doing? Actually, it has nothing to do with me..."

Not just the girls, Dawu and the others also looked like they couldn't support you this time: "Senior Jiugao, even if we are boys, we... Hey!"

"I understand! Just look at it... I will solve the problems I caused myself! Ningning..." After I said that, I left and went back to the Chinese Cuisine Research Institute for practice.

Whether Kuga Teruki can solve it or whether he is bragging is still unknown, but on the second day, Mito Yumei fulfilled his words in a rather thrilling manner on the field!

"Three to two! Contestant Yumei Mito's fried pork cutlet defeated contestant Haruki Yuuyue's stewed bean worm by one vote!" Rei Kawashima announced facing the "3:2" ratio on the screen.

"Damn it... It's obvious that I have prepared the recipe for so long, just to choose the fattest bean worms, and I went to the farm to choose the whole day yesterday... Why, why..." The oily girl Chunshu knelt on the ground The ground looks like it can't help being hit.

The ingredients and recipes for the duel between the two are the most basic existence in their respective fields!

Tonkatsu, a home-cooked meat dish that is very convenient to make at home. Bean worms are the larvae of the bean hornworm, which look like blue meat worms. They are also very common and rich in protein. Typical high protein, low fat, unique flavor, Natural green ingredients rich in amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body!

However, with their skills, they cooked fried pork chops and stewed bean worms into ten outstanding delicacies!

But even though the difference is almost the same, in comparison, Yu Mei's "Tonkatsu" is still better...

After a certain "accident", Yu Mei's progress in mastering the "Pyrotechnic Essence" has also improved a lot, and she is close to completely mastering the Pyrotechnic Essence! '

At the same time, Yu Mei also has a particularly outstanding talent for cooking skills using "oil" and "meat".

It can even be said that there is already a path to getting started with the corresponding spirit...

In the case of pork chops, the oil temperature, time, and oil layer control during frying can be described as "exquisite". Although the subsequent sauce is weak in comparison, the overall level can still be said to be excellent. It has reached the level of super four-star and five-star!

In the previous sessions, this was already enough to rank four or five seats.

The stewed bean worms by Yuyue Haruki are impressive in taste and flavor, and even tasted better than Mito Yumei's fried pork cutlets according to the two judges who are good at palatability of bean worms!

In fact, Younv Haruki has "reduced" a lot, and bean worms are not completely regarded as "new ingredients". Although bean worms are not common in Chinese cuisine, they are not uncommon...but the acceptance is not high. That's all!

"It's a very exciting competition. I didn't expect there to be a first-year student who could force me into this situation! To be honest, I was also taken aback when I saw two people voting for you." Yu Mei said .

"Is this the taunt of the winner? But...my failure is just a personal failure, it has nothing to do with 'Bean Bug', it has nothing to do with..."

"It has nothing to do with any ingredients." Yu Mei added for him.

Seeing Mito Yumei wasn't to ridicule him, Haruki Younv couldn't help but raise her head.

"Whether it's a food halberd or a cooking showdown, it's all a competition of cooker's skill and will, but this time I did win, and I've accepted the seat of the top ten!"

"Well, when the time is right, I will challenge you again!" The oily girl Haruki seemed to have regained some fighting spirit.

"No, if everything goes well...whether you, or the Central Gourmet Organization, will disappear from this school." Yu Mei doesn't care about offending the Central Gourmet Organization at all.

As soon as she thinks about what Liu Maoxing is doing now, Mito Yumei feels restless, and at the same time, her hatred for the "Central Gourmet Organization" and for Natsukiji grows deeper!

Although you couldn't see the eyes behind the sunglasses, the oily girl Haruki frowned obviously: "Actually, your prejudice against the general counsel is too deep! The development of new cooking skills needs strong supporters!"

Apparently, the reason why the oily girl Haruki joined the "Central Gourmet Organization" is precisely because Nakiri Ji promised him that he could set up a special "New Food Research Department", so that his skills and ideas can be disseminated and promoted unconditionally...

Ordinary puppet chefs in the Central Gourmet Organization will not reject the concept of "new ingredients" by Haruki Yuuyue because of their resistance to "new ingredients"... or because they have no right to reject it because of personal resistance!

"Oh? So your dream is actually to find some guys who can be hired with money to learn your 'new food ingredients'? How about simply coming to the Mito Group to lend you a loan? Anyway, as long as you spend money to hire someone Enough!" Mito Yumei mocked.

In fact, looking at Haruki's house, you know that there is even a place where you can breed insects. You know that you are definitely not a person who is short of money. "Cooking" is no different from spending money to hire people!

"You! It's not about money!"

"But in the end, no one will accept your concept of 'new ingredients', right? It's just that there will be a group of followers who have to learn your 'new ingredients'. Is this what you want?"

"Only, as long as they can get through the initial stage, they will also..."

"They won't! The central gourmet agency, the most taboo is the 'no talent' cooks who carry out any form of innovation without permission, and will learn 'new ingredient cooking' with you, are those who are judged as 'no talent' people." Mito Yumei said.

Oil girl Haruki couldn't help being shaken when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look back in the direction of Nakiriji, but found that Nakikiji had disappeared!

It seems that when he lost, Nakiri Ji had already left...

However, Ruishan Zhijin also stayed where he was, and said to Haruki Yuuyue: "You should still remember the agreement between the general counsel and you before? If you can prove your worth, the general counsel can support you to create' New Ingredients Cuisine Research Department', but unfortunately... it seems that you have no value!"

Rui Shan mocked the oily girl Haruki with an expression of not wanting to be beaten, and wanted to turn around and leave, but bumped into a fat man wearing underwear...

"Walk carefully! Small eyes!" Akimichi Keigo said.

"What did you say?" Ruishan was about to teach him what it means to respect the ten heroes and respect the seniors, but he saw Keigo's eyes that if you strike first, I dare to fight back, he couldn't help but lose his momentum and look depressed gone……

As for the work of comforting Haruki, it is obviously more appropriate to leave it to Keigo Akimichi and Kaori Yamanaka!

In the first two matches, the first line of the general manager and the first line of the general counsel can be regarded as one win and one loss, but in the third final match on the third day, a strange scene happened...

That is, during the competition, including Mito Yumei, Nakiri Alice, who already had the top ten seats, and all the girls from Jixingliao, they actually carried a big banner to cheer for Ji Zhiguo Ningning?

For a moment, Ruishan Zhijin couldn't help thinking wildly, wondering if this was an "anti-indirect strategy" against Ji Zhiguo Ningning, or a "reverse anti-indirect strategy" set up to make them trust Ji Zhiguo Ningning?

After all, Ji Zhiguo Ningning, who was the last to accept the "Central Gourmet Agency", had doubtful motives, and he chose to become a puppet chef because of the "suspect"...

People with Ruishan's kind of mind, even if they know the reasons why Yu Mei and others are cheering for Ji Zhiguo Ningning, they probably can't understand it!

In the third competition, it was generally believed that Ji Zhiguo Ningning's cooking skills were superior to Kuga's in terms of other than "spicy" and "spicy", but the topic set by the two was actually "Ma Po" Tofu", which added some suspense to this game.

The competition time was only one hour, and although both of them made their own sauces, they basically finished cooking in about forty minutes...

The judges enjoyed two successive spicy storms!

"Unexpectedly, you would accept the title of 'Ma Po Tofu'. Have you learned how to be flexible?"

The person who asked this question was not Jiuwo Zhaoji, but Ji Zhiguo Ningning.

It seems that Ji Zhiguo Ningning was the first to raise this question. Jiuwo Zhaoji just "agreed"?

If other people hear Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning's words, they will also feel strange. After all, Jiuga Zhaoji's character, at this time should say "Are you looking down on me? Mapo tofu? What a joke! Comparing is comparing some Fair title!" or something.

Even if the opponent makes him feel invincible, Kuga Teruki will not "admit counsel"!

Just like when he challenged Si Yingshi back then, he also rejected Si Yingshi's offer to compete with him in spicy dishes...

"Tch." I turned my head pretending to be disdainful for a long time, but Ji Zhiguo Ningning was still doing well, but the "comrades" off the field had already "criticized" him.

"Okay, there is a final mutual tasting session, right?" Kuga Teruki said.

Ji Zhiguo Ningning's expression changed slightly: "Wait, don't you know after seeing the judges' expressions? You have already lost!"

As if I didn't hear it for a long time, I picked up the small plate of mapo tofu from Ji Zhiguo Ningning...

"Are you kidding, 'Ma Po Tofu' is even more delicious than what I make, you want to eat it even if you die, right? And...you asked me, why did you agree to this topic?"

"..." Ji Zhiguo Ningning seemed to have guessed something, and looked at him nervously.

"Because there is only this question, I have some confidence that I can 'pull you out'..."

That's right, before the competition, the two even bet that if Ji Zhiguo Ningning loses, she must withdraw from the Central Gourmet Organization, and correspondingly, if Jiu Wo Zhaoji loses, she must drop out of school!

And... try each other!

Before Tian Suohui, as Erina's opponent, was heartbroken by the "devil" chef when they were trying each other, and now he has to rest. It's just a rudimentary heart!

And now, according to Ji, I ate the mapo tofu from Ji Zhiguo Ningning like this...

"Abandoning 'dignity' is for... me?" Ji Zhiguo muttered softly.
