Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Collective appraisal... I've never seen it before! It's less than a week away, have you signed up yet?"

"Sign up? Are we still far from being a star chef? If it goes well, maybe I will apply when I graduate..."

"Anyway, there is no limit, so it's okay to sign up and try it out?"

"Don't be kidding! All the certified chefs from the three major culinary certification organizations are here. If the culinary skills are too poor after signing up, it will definitely shame your reputation..."

There is still one week before the first collective certification, and the three major culinary organizations will have a certification team visit to provide star certification for Yuanyue's students.

But just like last year's foreign admissions assessment, the candidates automatically abstained before the exam started because they were worried about being negatively evaluated by Erina...

Being tasted by professional gourmets can indeed achieve the goal of "making a name for yourself", but it is also a double-edged sword!

If you perform poorly and get negative comments, it will actually affect your future!

At the regular meeting of the Ten Elites, Erina also confirmed to Fei Shazi: "Fei Shazi, the list of applicants for collective review has been sorted out, right?"

"Except for the registered students who may appear today, all the previous ones have been sorted out. At 6:00 pm today, the registration deadline for the first collective review, and the final list can be compiled before 6:10."

"That's good...it doesn't matter if you are not in such a hurry, just sort out the list and send it to the three major food certification organizations before noon tomorrow." Erina said.

The reason why Fei Shazi is confident that he can count the number of applicants today within ten minutes after the registration ends is because there are not many people who have registered!

The students who finally signed up basically have some confidence in themselves, at least they have the cooking skills that even if they fail, the certifier will not think that they are playing with him.

Except for the top ten, only a few single-digit students signed up for certification.

And except for Liu Maoxing and Erina, everyone else just signed up for the less difficult one-star certification first.

Among the three star certifications, because the one-star certification is for the chef to develop a special dish freely, and then the judges will conduct the certification, so the difficulty is far lower than the difficulty of the certification team's question!

Many cooks may be able to cook one or two two-star dishes, but they still only have one star...

According to the situation of graduates in the past ten years, at the graduation ceremony, there are one or two of the top ten outstanding students every year, and it is relatively common to be awarded the one-star qualification, but Si Yingshi, who was the first graduate last year , directly passed the two-star certification, which is a relatively rare situation.

As for the three stars... Only twenty years ago, Dojima Gin passed the three-star certification at the graduation ceremony, so he was also called a "living legend". The following year, Nakamura Ji did not undergo any certification at the graduation ceremony.

"Oda-san, I'll let you arrange and accompany the first-year's 'residential training'." Erina exhorted.

Oda Nobuna was the only one among the top ten who did not sign up for the certification review, because the time for the first collective certification coincided with the time for the first-year residential training!

As for Alice and Fei Shazi, although they are not very sure, at least they have the confidence that "the difference will not be too much", so they also signed up.

After all, in collective certification, even if the certification fails, as long as it is not judged as "postponed" by the certifier because it is too bad, you can continue to participate in the collective certification of the next month or the next month.

Xiaohui originally wanted to shrink back when signing up because she was not sure, but Alice forced her to sign up. The reason was that if the local girl who was the eighth seat did not sign up, it would be too much for her to sign up for the ninth seat. confidence!

After the regular meeting, Liu Maoxing went to Erina specifically, wanting to ask Linger something that had puzzled him for more than half a month after the last conversation, but it still failed, and Erina was unwilling to "borrow the way"... …

"No one likes a man who stalks girls when he sees them." Erina said, looking at Liu Maoxing with a forced look of indifference.

"...Why do I feel that I heard Linger say something similar? She taught you, right?" Liu Maoxing spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay, since Ling'er doesn't want to answer for now, don't ask any more, I believe that when the time comes, Ling'er will speak up." Erina persuaded.

She knows Ling'er's state best, and her intuition as a woman makes her feel that Ling'er, who has been refusing to say anything, is the hardest one!

"Okay... Then let's talk about the collective certification later. The two-star and three-star you signed up for are 'Western-style aquatic products', right? How are you preparing?" Liu Maoxing asked.

"It's just waiting for time." Erina Long said proudly.

(Yes, Long Aotian is an adjective!)

"You're really confident... But you'd better be cautious. The two-star and three-star certifications are all given by the other party. No matter how good your cooking skills are, if you don't prepare enough and don't pay enough attention to the review, you may fail the certification. Yes!" Liu Maoxing said.

Indeed, as Liu Maoxing said, because the subject of the two-star certification is already announced on the spot, the certified person must complete the process of conceiving the recipe and cooking within the specified time...

Coupled with the higher standard of "deliciousness", the difficulty can be said to increase abruptly compared with the one-star certification.

Others only need to make a prepared "one-star dish", so now they are all preparatory and carefully preparing their own recipes.

Although Erina has to go through one-star, two-star, and three-star certifications in succession, in fact, the "one-star certification" link is just a step for her, and she doesn't need to prepare any special recipes.

As for the two-star and three-star certifications... Liu Maoxing admitted that Erina would have a "great advantage" if she announced the questions to Erina a few days in advance.

Even now, many cooks who already have two-star and three-star qualifications are not fully sure, saying that they will definitely be able to pass the certification again...

"Oh? Then how are you preparing? You signed up for three Samsung certifications in one go, right?" Erina asked curiously.

"It's just waiting for time." Liu Maoxing imitated Long Aotian's appearance.

Erina sent him a pair of blank eyes directly...

In terms of cooking skills, that is, basic cooking skills plus the effect of food control, Liu Maoxing is at most better than Erina, especially after Erina also initially transformed "food sense" into "food control" a few days ago. The small distance is even more negligible!

Whether the two are overconfident or not, it is time to verify it.

A week flies by...

Especially in addition to Liu Maoxing and Erina, the other 12 students who signed up for the collective review were immersed in the creation of "must-kill dishes", and the time passed without knowing it!

In the collective certification process, there are three certification teams dispatched by the three major cooking certification organizations. They are waiting for the students who are about to undergo the one-star certification in No. 1 restaurant, and then start cooking at the same time. Submit directly, and then be judged by the corresponding certification team for eligibility...

Except for Hisako Niito, after the one-star certification of others, the certification team of the Michelin Gourmet Federation will continue to carry out Erina’s two-star “Western-style aquatic cuisine” certification, and the Dragon Chef Alliance will carry out Liu Maoxing’s three-star “China Beijing” certification. "Pastry Chef" certification...

The reason why Sako Niito was excluded was that the cooking time she filled in when she signed up was "twelve hours"!

The certification team will come back to review her cooking at the end.

If Erina’s two-star review is approved, the Michelin Gourmet Federation will continue to carry out Erina’s three-star “French Fish Cuisine” certification, Brahman Tasting will carry out Liu Maoxing’s three-star “Thai Pastry Chef” certification, and finally the Michelin Gourmet Federation will carry out Liu Maoxing's three-star "Pasta Maker" certification.

In fact, only the "one-star certification" can be called a collective.

At the same time, it can be clearly seen that between two stars and three stars, the classification of the latter is more refined!

When Erina was at 2-star, the item she signed up for was "Western-style aquatic products", while at 3-star it was already specifically "French-style fish cuisine"...

Of course, when the certification organization sets the questions, it will not specify the specified cuisines within the scope of registration. For example, the two-star assessment questions of Erina's "Western Aquatic Cuisine" will certainly not be specific to French, Italian or Portuguese.

For example, Liu Maoxing’s two-star certification for “Chinese Pastry Chef” included two key words, “steamed buns” and “fried buns,” without confining the topic to specific cuisines.

After the three-star category was refined, Liu Maoxing signed up for the category of "Chinese Beijing-style pastry"...

It is said to be "Beijing style", but in fact, compared with the three major schools of Chinese pastry, it should be said that the "Northern school" is more appropriate. It does not refer to the pastry of a city or a province, but refers to the north. Pastry in most areas.

In addition, there are Su-style and Cantonese-style, which respectively represent pasta in the south and pasta in coastal areas...

Of course, there are other more detailed classifications, but there are only these three types on the existing registration list, and the registration of other noodles needs to be reviewed by the Dragon Chef Alliance to decide whether to be certified.

Usually, only cooks who have obtained other three-star qualifications and apply for the certification of small cuisines will be approved.

Because Liu Maoxing is the only one of the top ten who does not need to go through the one-star collective certification process, and directly participates in the subsequent three-star certification, so he is naturally responsible for the on-site organization work!

"Okay, there are fourteen people in total, are they all here? Those who didn't show up raise their hands... Well, it seems that they are all here!" Liu Maoxing counted the number of people perfunctorily. After all, it is impossible for him to be absent at this time!

But after Liu Maoxing counted it, he found that there was indeed one person missing...

"Huh? How come I only have thirteen people? Is there another one?" Liu Maoxing frowned.

"In addition to the ten outstanding applicants, there are also Ji Zhiguo Ningning, Kuga Teruki, Hayama Ryo, Yoshino Yuki... a total of fourteen people, huh? They're all here!" Chuangzhen also counted the people.

Well, You Ji obviously belongs to the more confident type, and she is the only one who signed up besides the top ten stars.

"But now there are only thirteen people! I counted correctly!" Liu Maoxing reconfirmed.

"Wait! Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"I remembered... Oda-san didn't sign up this time because he was going to live in a dormitory for further training. That's nine plus four. How could there be fourteen people?"

"Fei Shazi, you are too tired to prepare the recipe, so you counted the wrong list?"

"Eh? Is that so?"

Just when Fei Shazi was beginning to doubt whether he was sloppy, a certain student who began to doubt his own existence came over with the word "well" on his face...

"It took too long to lock the motorcycle just now, so I'm late! I'm so sorry! I'm so big, but you always ignore me. I'm so sorry! I didn't drop out of school in the comics, but But I’ve been in hiding all the time. I’m really sorry! The first season of the animation directly deleted the scene of me in the preliminaries of the autumn election. I’m really sorry for coming to learn how to cook!”

That's right... I saw that Subaru Misaku was about to turn black.

"Eh...Although I don't know what you're talking about, it's good to be here." Liu Maoxing pushed him back into the team, and this time the number of people was finally right.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go to the No. 1 Food Halberd Hall! One final confirmation, except for the ingredients that were finally reported last night, no one needs to replenish, right? And if needed later Add ingredients, and you can raise your hand at any time during cooking to signal that Yuanyue's warehouse is open for you at any time today..."

After Liu Maoxing finally confirmed it once, he took everyone to No. 1 Restaurant.

Although in the star certification, as long as the certified person has no opinion, onlookers are not restricted, but in order not to bring extra pressure and to prevent being influenced by the audience, the qualifications for onlookers at this time are restricted, and only a few Ten people were allowed to sit in the auditorium.

Some are the core lecturers and professors of Togetsu Academy, including Senzaemon, Chapel, and Shiomi Jun, and some are relatives and friends who are specially allowed to enter...

Of course, Jun Xijian belongs to both the core professor of the college and Ye Shanliang's relatives and friends.

As for the other students, although they were not there, the "No. 2 Food Halberd Hall" was already full!

This was probably the only time when no one was eating halberds on the field, but the students filled the audience seats.

After the certification starts, the broadcast screen here will broadcast the picture of venue No. 1. At the same time, Rei Kawashima is also on standby here. Obviously, venue No. 1 does not need a master of ceremonies to stir up the atmosphere!

"It's not going to be a cooking showdown for a while. Although you are cooking together, there is no need to care about the performance of the people around you. Just present the recipes you have prepared perfectly." Liu Maoxing gave another order before everyone went on stage.

At this time, a total of fifteen certified teachers from the three major culinary organizations were already sitting at the enlarged review table.

Different from the certification of a star-rated restaurant, the certification of a star-rated cook requires them to sit here at the beginning of the cooking and watch the cook cook...

Because of Liu Maoxing's reason, the certified teachers sent by the three major culinary organizations are also top matchers who can carry out "three-star certification"!
