Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

During the nine days that Liu Maoxing fought for himself with "Super Tactile Sensation", he used the rapid progress period after the success of "Commitment Duel" to complete the process of integrating "Cooking Heart" into "Food Control"...

As soon as Fang entered the arena, he used the new "Food Domain" ability to count the recipes, consumables, equipment and kitchen utensils to be used in the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team"!

After Liu Maoxing had just mastered the "food domain" before the game, Lian Ye and a few others decided on the "strategy" for this team game, that is, "1:1+n".

Liu Maoxing copied the recipe of the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" whose serial number was before him, and then the other four people, in groups of two or two, cooked a separate "afternoon tea" with other equipment, kitchen utensils, and ingredients.

That's right, that is to let Mizuhara Fuyumi and Mikumakako lead Xinghei Soshin and Misaku Subaru to prepare some snacks, pastries, and tea for refreshments...

It's "afternoon tea" in name, so it doesn't involve compatibility with the full set of recipes copied by Liu Maoxing.

And in terms of scoring, as long as Liu Maoxing succeeds, the score will definitely be higher than the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team"!

Because the "afternoon tea" of Mizuhara Fuyumi and Kanhiko Koko, no matter what, it is impossible to have a negative score. Although it cannot be simply calculated according to "addition", an extra 0.01 point is still good...

And now there is a points ranking system. The team competition results of the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" should be one of the top two without any surprises. Even if they are tied with them, it is good news for the "Germinate Team", even if it is slightly lower. This is acceptable!

The only concern of the others is that Liu Maoxing copied the entire recipe of the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" by himself. This sounds like a fantasy, whether it is reliable or not!

One must know that Chef Carlo's culinary skills are already superior to Liu Maoxing's, and now there are four other chefs who work perfectly with Carlo to "copy" together?

However, Liu Maoxing also made it clear that he was not completely sure, but after mastering the "food domain", he felt that he had some chances.

In the end, because there was no better way, the other four also agreed to his plan...

Then there was the scene that happened on the field next.

Liu Maoxing first determined the ingredients, kitchen utensils, and equipment used by the other party, and then "arranged" these to be used together, and organized other ingredients, kitchen utensils, and equipment to the other side to prevent mutual influence in the future!

Other people's recipes were originally agreed on the basis of the "other" equipment, kitchen utensils and ingredients that Liu Maoxing sorted out.

Chef Carlo didn't realize it at first, but he thought it was a bit strange that Liu Maoxing divided the whole cooking area into two, and the cooking area, ingredients and equipment he used were familiar to him!

But soon Chef Carlo realized... Isn't this the ingredients and equipment I use?

Reminiscent of Liu Maoxing's "food field" covering the audience, Chef Carlo has an increasingly ominous premonition...

After another ten minutes passed, and after Liu Maoxing's preliminary shallow processing results appeared, Chef Carlo could almost confirm his guess!

Liu Maoxing... is exactly the same as the recipe I prepared!

Obviously Liu Maoxing is just a person, obviously Liu Maoxing was not on the field at all before...

In fact, Chef Carlo doesn't care how many points the "Germinate Team" can score in the end, but Liu Maoxing's behavior now makes him doubt himself at a certain moment...

Well, anyone who sees his carefully prepared dishes and researched recipes, and other people can imitate them after just a glance, or only read the second half, will have this kind of self-doubt.

Chef Carlo's current situation is even more embarrassing than that of Misaku Subaru's opponent back then!

Firstly, Subaru Misaku's ability is "tracking", rather than "imitation", it is better to say "prediction", which requires a lot of mental effort to do follow-up investigations in advance... His "prediction" is based on understanding and his own The "substitution" ability of...

Second, even if Subaru Misaku's "tracking" has an effect, the premise must be that he "can do it" before he can copy it. Just like Liu Maoxing's original "White Dragon Snake Transformation" and grasping the liquid nitrogen refrigeration knife, Meizuo Subaru couldn't do it at all!

The third is also the most important... The ones who were disgusted by Subaru Misaku back then were only Totsuki's students, but now Chef Carlo is an accomplished cook! When he found out that his recipe was "easily" copied and made faster than himself, one can imagine the shock in his heart!

After Carlo found out, he wisely decided not to look at Liu Maoxing again, so as not to cause accidents to his cooking due to the shock in his heart...

However, if Chef Carlo didn't watch it, the audience at the scene had already figured out the way...

Although Liu Maoxing was copying five people at the same time, so his cooking process was always jumping up and down, left and right, dazzling, and there was no similarity with Chef Carlo from the cooking process.

But the results of some preliminary cooking have already appeared. One or two of them will look familiar to everyone, and they are all the same... The audience can also guess what Liu Maoxing is going to do!

"What, what's going on? Is this Liu... from Pleiades... a disciple of Chef Carlo?"

"It doesn't look like that! His cooking steps are actually different from Chef Carlo's... He doesn't have an assistant and does everything by himself, so the cooking process is different from Chef Carlo's!"

"And he is a student of Yuanyue College, and I have never heard of any intersection between him and Chef Carlo..."

"Have you noticed... Liu Maoxing has been staring at the 'Italian Royal Cuisine Team' since the beginning?"

"……What do you mean?"

"How can it be?"

"Hahaha...you must be joking, right?"

Of course they all noticed!

Until now, didn't Liu Maoxing also stare at the opposite side?

Judging from the current observation results, it can already be judged that Liu Maoxing is "learning now and selling now", but everyone obviously cannot accept this...

Who is Carlo?

In the minds of ordinary people, in terms of culinary skills, Carlo is ranked in the top 20 if not in the top ten!

And because of the different cooking styles, it is very difficult to give a unified ranking of cooks all over the world. There is actually no obvious difference between the top ten and the top twenty. Many people even think that Carlo is the living god of cooking and the best in the world... …

It can be said that he is truly at the apex of the culinary world!

Even in this "All? Blue", in the eyes of ordinary viewers, apart from the "Hundred Stars Sanying Team", Carlo's opponents should only be those who were recommended for the main match!

And Liu Maoxing...although he was also well-known in the culinary world before, especially after his identity as a "National Treasure-level Saber Master" was confirmed, his net worth has risen even higher.

However, in the eyes of most people, Liu Maoxing is still a new generation that is "waiting to grow up". Everyone recognizes that he may be very strong in the future, but the current situation... Everyone seems to have seen the Badamon with an air cannon to solve the Evil Beast. Same!

This kind of imitative crushing, everyone even thinks that it will not happen between cooks with similar strengths, but should only appear when the gap is huge...

Chef Carlo kept calm as much as possible, calculated the time to present the dishes, and completed the "meal" just right.

An hour after Liu Maoxing and others entered the venue, the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" entered the stage of presenting dishes on time...

"It's five o'clock in the afternoon! Chef Carlo and his assistants are invited to present the dishes, and some contestants from the "Central Food Team" will also be invited to appear!"

At this time, the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" also transferred all the dishes to the waiting area, and the cooking area has entered the stage of "cleaning the battlefield"...

The cooking area of ​​the previous "Anwanglou Representative Team" has been tidied up and the ingredients have been replenished, ready for the "Central Food Team" to follow!

The opponent's team leader is the pig teammate Andre who made it even more unfavorable when the lottery was drawn.

At this time, as soon as they entered the arena, they first looked at the "Germinate team"...

They were in the waiting area before, so of course they couldn't see the situation during the game, because the "ingredients" provided had to be kept secret before the game.

So Andre doesn't know what Liu Maoxing did before, but he just discovered the special "formation" of the "Germinate team" at a glance!

Andre was surprised at first...why is this guy's cooking area different from ours?

Afterwards, he also reacted, and couldn't help grinning...

Obviously his guess is the same as the audience's guess at the beginning! I thought there was something wrong with the internal communication of the "Germinate team". As the team leader, Liu Maoxing was resisted by other players...

But he didn't notice Chef Carlo's awkward expression at this time, and the focus of the audience's discussion!

"The first is the appetizer we prepared for everyone... Beef and fish platter, I hope you like it."

One of the other four chefs presented the first dish to the five judges, while Carlo briefly introduced the dish to the judges.

The beef and fish platter, on the one hand, may be due to time constraints, because the recipe has to be determined on the spot based on the ingredients, so there is no time to choose any fancy name, and on the other hand, it is also because Carlo is very pragmatic...

The name is clear at a glance. In front of each of the judges, there is a small plate divided into two halves. Half of it is bright red raw meat slices, and the other half is slightly lighter red, leaning towards orange red raw fish. piece.

It is the carpaccio and raw tuna sashimi!

Speaking of tuna, many people will first think of tuna sashimi in island countries. Indeed, island people also prefer tuna...

Among them, the best products are naturally the bluefin tuna that frequently auctions millions or even tens of millions of island national currency. A proposal to ban the deal was rejected.

Of course, for tuna, the island country cannot be said to be blindly asking for it. Tuna, which has long been considered as one of the fish species that cannot be farmed, was developed by the island country in the 1970s. A breeding method from fry to adult fish , and at the beginning of this century, the goal of captive-breeding tuna was finally successfully achieved... Although the cost of farming is so high that the price of farmed tuna is not much lower than that of wild tuna, at least it has increased production and ensured their population reproduction.

Although the Italians are not as obsessed with tuna as the islanders, there is no doubt that tuna, or tuna, is also a representative edible fish in Italy.

The "fresh meat plate" made of raw meat was originally a representative of Italian cuisine, and after Carlo found that the ingredients contained fresh beef and tuna, he immediately decided to make a "bovine and fish combination".

Several of his assistant chefs are enough to complete the "slicing" process, but the "fresh meat plate" is definitely not just slicing, and the sauce is also very important!

Among the spices provided by the competition party, the "fresh meat plate" sauce that Carlo is most used to can't be found, so the task of slicing is handed over to the assistant chef, and Carlo has no chance to be lazy on this dish. Abandoned careless thinking, tried a new sauce recipe, and poured it on fresh beef slices.

Tuna slices are even more troublesome, because there is no wasabi, and with the existing spices, even a similar substitute cannot be made, so Carlo surprisingly used a slightly sweet sauce, poured on it alone In a small dish...

The reason why tuna could not be farmed before is because it is a warm-blooded animal, which is different from most other fish that are cold-blooded animals. The body temperature of tuna is about ten degrees higher than the waters in which it lives, which means Tuna needs more biological oxidation to release heat and maintain body temperature!

Therefore, tuna meat has the highest hemoglobin content of all fish, and because more oxygen is needed, tuna must swim constantly to breathe normally...

High hemoglobin and high amount of exercise, this is the basis for the juxtaposition of tender and firm tuna meat!

Carpaccio, tuna sashimi...

Two completely different meat textures and different flavors spread alternately in the mouths of the judges, which not only made the judges smile uncontrollably, but also watched them taste the two kinds of raw meat alternately after taking a sip , you know that this "cow and fish fight together" does not have any "disharmony" phenomenon!

When the "Beef and Fish Combination" was brought out at the beginning, many people were still wondering, whether it is a fresh meat plate or sashimi, the most important thing is the original taste and umami taste. Now eating beef and fish together, Won't you confuse taste with flavor?

Carlo did not answer how he did it, but Liu Maoxing could answer this question...

That is "cooking heart"!

Carlo, as one of the chefs in the first echelon who is closest to the realm of the Dragon Chef, his kitchen heart is also very rare. It is a kitchen utensil-shaped kitchen heart, not the human and animal shapes that Liu Maoxing has seen the most before...

In appearance, it is a cylindrical "deep soup pot". In Italian cuisine, stewing and boiling are common cooking methods, and this kind of pot is often used.

And since Liu Maoxing has already copied it, he naturally understands its effect... that is "harmony"!

Although unlike Seiichiro, who directly has two kinds of heart, Carlo's "deep soup pot" heart has two effects, or one effect, but it is achieved from two directions.

On the one hand, "Deep Soup Pot" has the effect of "Greedy Cat" to enhance the cook itself, making it easier for Carlo to generate inspiration in "harmony", and his skills in this aspect are also more prominent. On the other hand, "Deep Soup Pot" "It is also the same as most kitchen hearts, which affects the "source" of ingredients, making it easier for diners to accept "reconciliation" and improving the fault tolerance rate of "reconciliation"...

For the Italian cuisine that advocates "authentic taste", the "deep soup pot" is undoubtedly Carlo's weapon!
