Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"This is...meat? No...the taste is completely different, but in terms of taste..."

Erina unconsciously chewed the food in her mouth, which was Liu Maoxing's "manga meat", the expression on her face was half incredulous doubt, half godless indulgence!

Just like the "eating appearance" of the three judges just now, when chewing, although they kept their mouths shut out of reserve, their cheeks were bulging...like a hamster!

But because of the "surprise" emotion, Erina's face was covered with sweat, so it should be called "a shy hamster"?

It's not that Erina ate too much in one bite, but that Liu Maoxing made "vegetarian meat" with a mixture of soy products, gluten, cheese... The unique taste will cause irritation to the tactile sensory part of the mouth The "full feeling" makes people instinctively make a mouthful of eating!

In theory, it is similar to the "Turtle Burger" that Fei Shazi took out in the quarter-finals of the "Autumn Trials".

However, Fei Shazi's understanding of the "sense of touch" is far less profound than that of Liu Maoxing, so the "Turtle Burger" only improves the taste comfort of diners by stimulating the tactile sensitive area of ​​the mouth...

However, Liu Maoxing's "comic meat" uses various soy products, gluten and other ingredients with unique tastes to create a more subtle stimulation to the sense of touch in the mouth!

Give diners the illusion of "a mouth full of food"...

As for why even Erina, who has the "God's Tongue", felt like "meat" after tasting it?

"Because my shee is the same as yours... No, I still think that my sense of taste is stronger. I have already processed these vegetarian meats before! And the ones used are the ones with rich meat Tasty dashi...

Ham, cheese, and red wine are known as "the world's three major fermented ingredients", and my "comic meat" uses not only cheese, but also broth made from Xuanwei ham! Although it is 'vegetarian meat', because the ingredients in it are all boiled with ham at low temperature for two hours.

What's more, the ham I entrusted Liu Maoyuan to bring is all dried and fermented ham for more than three years. Not only can it be eaten raw, but if it is used to make soup, the meaty taste is so strong that the 'vegetarian meat' also has a meaty taste! "Liu Maoxing said.

As I said before, ordinary ham cannot be eaten raw, but if it is fermented to a "certain degree", the ham is equivalent to being "cooked" during the fermentation process, so it can be eaten raw!

This is the case with Xuanwei ham that has been fermented for three years. Under the conditions of suitable temperature and humidity, a layer of mold will appear on the surface of the ham after three years of fermentation... This does not mean it is spoiled!

At this time, as long as the "mold" on the outside is removed, you will find that the ham inside is exuding this unique meaty aroma with milky aroma!

It is more mellow than ordinary ham, but not as heavy as ordinary one-year Xuanwei ham in taste...

Of course, apart from the key "three-year ham", Liu Maoxing also seasoned various "vegetarian meat" ingredients before and after cooking the soup.

Combined with the "broth" carefully prepared by Liu Maoxing, which focuses on the rich aroma of meat accumulated after fermentation, the flavor of "vegetarian meat" suddenly changes!

Although it is different from any kind of real meat, the flavor of "vegetarian meat" is obviously already in the category of "meat" in the human sense of taste.

As for the taste...it is not the same as the real "meat", even different from any ingredients.

Dried tofu, bean curd cubes, gluten... All kinds of ingredients with different tastes and degrees of strength, under Liu Maoxing's super-tactile advantage, adjusted and "commanded" again and again, formed an alternative taste movement!

Even the three judges, as well as Erina, under the guidance of instinct, showed "biting" and "eating big" eating.

As for the "binder", the light milky aroma of mozzarella cheese not only does not destroy the flavor of "vegetarian meat", but also complements the light milky aroma of the ham that has been fermented for three years!

Xuanwei ham and mozzarella cheese, which are both sacred products of fermented ingredients, are combined under the cooking of Liu Maoxing to fully stimulate the unique "time-accumulated" flavor of fermented ingredients.

And after being combined with other ingredients, the "manga meat" really has a fantastic "meat quality"!

As a judge, Jingpu Jiushang also said at this time: "Unexpectedly...or is it 'really' not meat?"

"Indeed, because it tasted too similar to meat before, but the texture was completely different, people thought it was meat, but at the same time they had the ambivalence of 'this should not be meat'..."

"The control over the taste has actually reached this level... I don't know if 'Liang' can do it!" Xi Jianjun echoed.

"However, student Nakiri's 'comic meat' actually gave me a deep impression, but Liu Maoxing should be better at answering the questions." Chapelle nodded upon hearing this.

"That's right! Based on my experience in reading comics before, Liu Maoxing's 'comic meat' really gave me the feeling of 'comic meat'. Last night... cough cough, I have seen similar pictures before !"

I always feel that Jun Xijian seems to have revealed some special hobbies, and the fact that he secretly read comics last night!

And Ye Shanliang, who knows best that Jun Xijian never reads comics outside of "sleep time", has decided to do a "harsh mother" after going back, and dig out all the comics that Jun Xijian has privately collected!

"Really, can't you watch it during the daytime break..." Ye Shanliang muttered dissatisfied.

Because Jun Xijian is too obsessed with spices, he works almost every day until bedtime, and Ye Shanliang will use his sense of smell to search out all the spices in her room in order for her to have a full rest, and then force her to guarantee seven at night. After hours of sleep, the result... Jun Xijian just opened the door to a new world!

I started to carry my "mother" on my back every day and read comics under the covers.

Even in order not to be discovered, every time I buy a comic, I have to spend a few days to remove the "ink smell" on it before taking it back!

Rei Kawashima's voice also rang out at this time: "The judges' judgment results have come out! After all, Miss Erina, can you break the spell of 'you will lose when you meet Liu Maoxing'? Let us wait and see..."

That's right, this "curse" is now widely known, and it is about to become the default "official setting" for students.

Although the other students didn't know what happened in Bashu, even in Yuanyue College, Liu Maoxing and Erina had faced off directly and indirectly many times.

However, every time Erina is a "sad defeat", and every time he fights again, Erina's cooking skills are greatly improved, but the result is definitely still a "sad loss".

(In the last chapter, did I accidentally use the real place name =_=)

Some students who were jealous because of Liu Maoxing's "shee head theory" were already discussing whether Liu Maoxing had cursed Erina...

At this moment, the results of the three judges appeared on the broadcast screen of "Between the Moon and the Sky"!

The names of Liu Maoxing and Erina are displayed on the upper and lower lines, and the horizontal row is the names of the three judges. At this time, the "O" symbols under the names of the three judges are all on Liu Maoxing's row.

"The final result came out! Three to zero... It seems that the three judges all appreciate Liu Maoxing's work even more! Liu Maoxing has once again proved his strength as the top ten outstanding! At the same time, Miss Erina also brought Let us offer our warmest applause for our wonderful cuisine..."

Under the guidance of Rei Kawashima, bursts of boos of envy and hatred, accompanied by sparse applause, were dedicated to Liu Maoxing!

At this time, the three judges were still discussing with each other. After a while, Jingpu Jiushang nodded, and then walked towards the members of the "Manga Cuisine Research Club".

"Miss Saotome, I have discussed with the other two judges and reached an agreement... Although Nakiri-san, who was the representative, lost in the cooking duel today, we believe that Nakiri-san's 'manga meat' has already shown its The research results of the Manga Cuisine Research Institute are higher than the existing funds, that is to say... from next month, the funds of the 'Manga Cuisine Research Institute' will increase by 10%!"

Before the cooking showdown, it has been said that the outcome of the "showdown" will not be directly linked to the rating of the research agency. The rating is determined by the performance of the representative of the research agency in the showdown.

In fact, since Erina's representative qualification was confirmed, the rating of the Manga Research Association has been guaranteed...

After all, it's just a small research institute with a very low budget. There are too many research institutes at Erina's level that are higher than this level!

However, Saotome Romance still looked a little out of control. After the members around her whispered a reminder, Romance finally realized: "Ah? Ah! I see... Thank you, Director Jingpu!"

Other members speculated that the heroine Saotsu should be frustrated by being defeated by Liu Maoxing in the "manga cooking" that she is best at.

Especially Mr. Chapelle also commented before, it is said that the two kinds of "manga meat" are almost the same in terms of taste, but Liu Maoxing's "manga meat" is more likely to give people a feeling of "satisfaction", and it is more suitable for The title deduction of "comic meat" is even better!

And no matter how good Liu Maoxing's culinary skills are, it should be at the same level as Miss Erina, and there are also "Prince of Meat" Yu Mei, "Princess of Molecular Cuisine" Alice, and "Medical Cuisine Expert" Fei Shazi in terms of professionalism in recipes Guidance, these aspects should not be weaker than Liu Maoxing!

In other words...Erina's defeat this time was largely due to Saotome's romantic recipe planning, and there was a problem...

Although there is a ready-made "excuse", that is, Saotome's research is more on girl comics than hot-blooded comics, but it is still only an excuse!

"Okay! I've decided!" Saotome suddenly raised her head and said solemnly.

"Master, Commander, are you alright?" a commune member asked worriedly.

"Of course it's okay! Whether it's a cooking duel or a food halberd, it's a stage where the wills of the cooks collide with each other. Although the winner and loser must be determined, it doesn't mean that once you lose, all previous efforts will be negated... ...It can only show that the previous efforts are not enough!" Saotome said.

Seeing Mistress Saoto say this, the members felt relieved.

But at this moment, Saotome romantically continued to say: "Then it's decided like this! You have to work harder in the future! The 10% increase in funding from next month will be used to purchase... a complete set of "Wishing Beads", " Pirate Legend" and "I Want to Be the Village Chief"! All members must have two hours a day to read hot-blooded comics, and I will check your progress in two months!"

The girls collectively looked shocked: "Eh—?"

At this time, Liu Maoxing, who was walking down the "Between the Moon and the Sky", hinted to Erina proudly that he had already won five times!

Usually, after the duel between the moon and the sky, the ten heroes will leave from the exits at their respective ends after the duel. Just after the duel, they left together...

Besides, compared with the previous Top Ten, we know that the relationship between the new Top Ten led by Erina (Liu Maoxing: =_=?) is already a rare harmony in history!

Except that Erina and Oda Nobuna don't catch a cold, and Kurokiba Ryo is relatively withdrawn, there are basically no other conflicts...

Moreover, Liu Maoxing never knew what "deepness" meant, so he followed Erina in a dizzy manner, and left with her through the exit on her side.

"Why is your hand itchy... Help me to see if it's because I haven't held the kitchen knife too much recently, and suddenly cut so many pieces, so it's ground?"

Liu Maoxing gestured with a big "five" with his right hand, and stretched it out in front of Erina... After that, he was brutally ignored!

"By the way, today is Water Day, so the day after tomorrow is Golden Day, right? According to the Chinese calendar, Golden Day is also called 'Friday'!"

be ignored.

"Tonight's moon doesn't seem very round. In five days, it should be round..."

be ignored.

"Huh? Did the stairs here only have three steps? I thought it was the 'five' steps! Hahaha..."

be ignored.

Seeing that Erina was walking faster and faster, Liu Maoxing just ignored him and couldn't help thinking of a more interactive way!

"By the way, Erina, your Chinese ability still needs to be improved. Let me do an exercise with you! It's called... Idiom Solitaire! I say an idiom, you start with the last word of it, and then say another idiom, Are you ready? Let's gather for three and five..."

For the last four characters, Liu Maoxing used Chinese.

Erina stood still suddenly, and then turned around with a "smile". Liu Maoxing thought that his method had worked, but felt that Erina's smile was a little "awkward" no matter how you looked at it?

There was a smile on the corner of Erina's mouth, and four words in Chinese were squeezed out from her lips: "Five horses divide the body!"

"..."
