Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Can the ingredients that have lost their freshness be restored to their freshest state? Then if I use them to cut kimchi, can they turn into cabbage after cutting it?" Liu Subaru staring at Yonglin Dao said.

"..." The others in the room couldn't help being surprised by Liu Subaru's thoughts, and at the same time they squeezed a cold sweat!

"This... ahem, Yonglin knife can't be used for things other than cooking, and it's usually used for seafood!" Liu Kuishan reminded Liu Subaru.

"Testing the function of kitchen utensils is also in the category of'cooking', right? I will try to cut frozen sea bream first. You can help me get some kimchi, sauerkraut and other ingredients!" Liu Subaru said enthusiastically.

I saw Liu Maoxing swinging his knife on the frozen sea bream that had been thawed, and within a short time, a plate of moderately thick sashimi was cut out. Liu Maoxing directly picked up one piece and chewed in his mouth, then frowned... …

Others are obviously curious, after all, there has never been a cook recognized by the "Yong Lin Dao" in the past 100 years, and no Long Chef has ever borrowed the Yong Lin Dao, so they only saw it in the notes of the ancestors of the Liu family. About the ability of Yonglin Dao...

Including Erina, who has inherited the "Super Taste", has tried it a long time ago, but has not been recognized by the "Yonglin Dao".

This also made Erina's taste for Liu Subaru again...

Seeing Liu Subaru frowning, Liu Kuishan couldn't help but asked nervously: "How is it? Is there no effect?"

"It does work, but how should I put it...you can try it too!" Liu Subaru himself also had some doubts.

There were a dozen people with the highest identities among the families present, and in a blink of an eye all the sashimi on the plate was gone...

Erina also stepped forward and took a piece, and no one felt it was abrupt. After all, she also had the "super taste", and she was more able to discover the changes.

Sure enough, everyone present was puzzled during the chewing, especially Erina and Liu Subaru...

Obviously, the two people who have "super taste" seem to find more than the others.

At least the feeling of other people now is that this sashimi is indeed delicious, unlike ordinary frozen sea bream, but... it is definitely not the best sea bream fillet!

Taking advantage of the other experimental ingredients being taken, Liu Subaru also used a common kitchen knife to cut some sashimi. After tasting and comparing them, he had a vague guess in his heart, but the specifics still need more experiments to know... …

Liu Lousan still seemed a little conservative. The experimental ingredients he took were all seafood preserved in different ways. In the end, he "reluctantly" sent fermented ingredients such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and tofu.

"A Xing... do you... really want to try? Are you sure you don't feel the resistance of the'Yong Lin Dao'?" The first race elder still asked nervously.

Using "artifacts" to do this kind of experiment, the first tribe still feels a bit "blasphemous"!

"Don't worry, my sword is already hungry and thirsty!"

"..."

"And if you never understand the true ability of the'Yong Lin Dao', is it disrespect for it?"

"Let him try it! I also tried it before I realized that the'Magic Holy Bronze Ware' can really soak beef jerky into fresh beef, and not only in terms of'hairing', but also in terms of'fermentation'. Wonderful effect!"

"That's right,'Jalou Luodao' is also effective against the peculiar smell in fish and wild vegetables, which is also out of my experiment."

The other two dragon chefs who have "legendary kitchen utensils" have said so, and Liu Subaru is even more confident and bold!

Hit the kimchi in front of you...

In everyone's curious eyes...Kimchi is still kimchi!It's not as exaggerated as turning directly into cabbage!

The same is also useless for sauerkraut and tofu!

But after tasting it carefully, Liu Subaru and Erina looked at each other, then nodded tacitly...

"How is it? Did you find any rules?" Liu Kuishan asked immediately.

Liu Subaru nodded when he heard the words, and said: "If you guessed it correctly, the true ability of Yonglin Blade should be to'refuse' to recognize a certain change in the ingredients, and there are limited conditions to be able to'refuse' the change..."

"'Reject' a certain change? What conditions are needed?"

"There should be no biological participation! Microbes are also included!" Liu Subaru said.

"'Microbes' are also counted?" Many people are still confused, but a few people nodded.

Especially Xie Yunlong and Lin Yi, the two dragon chefs who also have the "legendary kitchen utensils", naturally understand that the "legendary kitchen utensils" are not invincible, and have their own limitations...

Erina said at this time: "It should be said that it is a change directly involved in microorganisms. Yonglin Dao can't'refuse' it. If it only acts as a catalyst, there is no problem..."

Liu Subaru nodded when he heard the words: "It's true."

Looking at what many people still don’t understand, Liu Subaru gave an example: “It’s like sea bream meat, just because the time exceeds the best taste period, the self-decomposition of umami components and the loss of cell water are caused. ...These changes can be'rejected' by Yonglin Dao, directly restoring the processed ingredients to their'most beautiful' appearance!

But if it has been left for too long, it has rotted under the action of microorganisms, or it has been roasted, frozen, or fried... then even the'Yonglin Knife' cannot restore it to its original state."

With that said, everyone will understand a lot!

This is the case with the previous frozen sea bream. The water loss of the sea bream itself and the decomposition of umami components have been restored by Yonglin Knife, but the meat damage caused by artificial freezing is still there!

In the same way, those kimchi, sauerkraut, etc., have been fermented under the action of microorganisms, and naturally they are irreversible...

"Forget about microorganisms, Yonglin Knife... can still'recognize' changes in food ingredients, is it man-made, or is it because of changes in the environment?" Liu Lousan wondered.

Regarding this question, Pleiades Liu couldn't explain, but Master Jie said: "Yes."

Everyone couldn't help but looked over in surprise.

"Yes, I have studied this before by the Master of Reconciliation. To a certain extent, the'Garuda Sword' also possesses this ability...It is ineffective against some man-made peculiar smells. The Master of Reconciliation has speculated that it should be because, Regardless of the level of culinary skills, even people who do not know how to cook, when processing the ingredients, the'source' of the ingredients will change...

It’s just that a strong cook can use his will to transform the source into the power he wants, that is, the ability of the heart of the cook, while the weak cook has a negligible impact on the source. It will not be felt by people, but the "legendary kitchen utensils" can recognize this signal!"Lin Yi explained.

It seems that these two people have really studied their own "artifacts" in normal times!

"In other words, the'legendary kitchenware' is not valid for the ingredients whose source has been changed?" Liu Lousan nodded with some understanding.

The so-called "'source' is changed", Liu Subaru now also knows what it means...

Liu Subaru once asked Liu Lousan before about whether "Cooking Heart" and "Yuan Cooking" could work together, and Liu Lousan immediately corrected Liu Subaru's thoughts...

"Cooking Heart" as the essence of the chef's will, the reason why it can be poured into cooking, the carrier is the "source" of the ingredients!

That is to say, the chef who has the "cooking mind" shows the "source" after changing it, and the "source cooking" directly shows the "source"...

Regardless of whether you have the "cooking mind" or not, the "processing" of the ingredients by any other life will cause a change in the "source", but some changes are very subtle and do not affect anything.

Therefore, in many three-star restaurants, when the chef cooks their signature dishes, they need to do it all by themselves, or only the kitchen workers who are most familiar with them can participate, because the "cook workers" may be able to process the ingredients. The "source" is changed, so that my "cooking mind" cannot be fully displayed...

Although Liu Lousan looked like he understood, he was immediately beaten in the face!

Master Xie said: "No, it's not invalid, but can identify whether the'Yuan' has changed... For example, my'Magic Sacred Bronze Ware' is just the opposite, only to make the'Yuan' change, that is Other biological influences are effective! For natural air-dried dry products, it cannot be soaked quickly, and this is particularly useful in accelerating fermentation! It can automatically identify miscellaneous bacteria, inhibit the reproduction of other non-human pollution fungi, and only accelerate The fungus or enzyme effect you want!"

Everyone looked at each other after hearing the words, and had a deeper understanding of the magic of the "legendary kitchen utensils"!

Can we actually use the "black box" feature of "source" as a judgment condition for special processing?

This is no longer as simple as "supernatural creation", but like the result of "super black technology"!

According to legend, these "artifacts" were all made by ancient famous chef Xu Ling with "Stones Beyond the Sky"...

Regardless of how "ancient" this "ancient" celebrity chef is, many people, including Pleiades Liu, originally thought that the so-called "making" should be to make meteorites with magical powers into the shape of kitchen utensils... …

As for the special function of these kitchen utensils, there should be power in the meteorite.

But now it seems that it should not be the case!

These "legendary kitchen utensils" not only have special power, but also have the "discrimination ability" to exert their power?

If a piece of crystalline silicon falls from the world, can ancient people make computers?

Obviously impossible!

Where do these criteria come from?Could it be Xu Ling...

"Well, the secret of the'legendary kitchen utensils' is not something we can understand now. The cook must learn to focus on the present." Master Jie warned Liu Subaru to prevent him from delaying too much on the "legendary kitchen utensils" time.

"Thank you Master Jie, I understand." Liu Subaru said also.

Even if you want to study these, you have to wait until you become a dragon chef!

And the Liu Family Elders looked at each other, and somehow remembered the content in the "Prophecy"...

In the prophecy, the birth of eight "legendary kitchen utensils" occupies a very important position, and the disappearance of the ancestors back then is also related to the "legendary kitchen utensils"...

And now they suddenly discovered the ability of the "legendary kitchen utensils", which was even more incredible than they had imagined, making them feel a little uneasy!

"Okay, if you want to use the'Yonglin Knife' later, A Xing, you can pick it up at any time, as long as you don't take it away from the ancestral house." The first tribe veteran has decided to "seal" the Yonglin knife carefully!

How to "seal"?

The Liu family has prepared a proper plan!

First of all, from the perspective of metaphysics, Taoist and Buddhist "masters" are invited to post talisman and recite sutras, and then use scientific methods to use various signal interference and isolation equipment and materials for preservation... double insurance.

After that, Liu Subaru immediately seized the opportunity and got in touch with Erina almost...

"Erina, school is about to start, when will you go back? Let's go together!" Liu Subaru said.

"We have a special plane, and we have already applied for a route, we can go anytime... But why should we take you?" Erina pouted.

"Don't be so unkind! As a guest invited by the eldest lady, it's okay to take a shun fan, right?" Liu Subaru knew that Erina was still upset and lost... and "seven captures and seven moves"!

"It's okay, then come back with us as a guest of the'Second Miss'!" Alice will always be the troublemaker!

"No need!" Erina said to her cousin in a huff.

Suddenly Erina seemed to think of something, and pointedly said: "After going back, someone will have the chance of a'third catch' right away! But...will it be self-defeating? Huh..."

The third catch?Pleiades Liu also reacted immediately... it was the "ten outstanding seats contest"!

After fighting with Naginaki thistle before, after the two sides continued to compete, finally the commander, the board of directors, and the central food authority approved a new ten outstanding selection method, that is, at the beginning of the new school year, all students will be held. All can sign up to participate in the "Ten Outstanding Seats Competition"!

The top five can get the seat of the "ten outstanding", and then compete with the original five ten outstanding ones...

At the reminder of Pleiades Liu, at the end of last semester, the seats of Pleiades Liu, Erina, Isshiki Hui, and Teruki Kuga had already been handed over to Alice, Hisasha, Chuangjin, and Kurokiba!

The purpose is to enable Liu Subaru, Erina, Isshiki Hui, and Jiuaga Teruki to be able to participate in the "Ten Best Trials".

The first elder of the Liu family, and later invited the people from the Nagiri family, it is better to stay together for the New Year and go back later.

After all, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days...

The Nagiri family has always been thin, and Senzaemon has no brothers of the same generation, and his daughter has passed away, so the son-in-law... don't mention it!

The other relatives were already here, so under the persuasion of Master Jie and others, they agreed.

It was not until the end of the fifteenth period that I returned to Yuanyue College. Not only Liu Subaru was also with him, but also Liu Subaru was a fan.

After entering the stable flight stage on the plane, Alice, who was sitting in front of Pleiades Liu, suddenly turned around, knelt on the chair, put her arms on the back of the chair, and talked to Pleiades Liu.

"By the way, Uncle Ji also handed over the seat of Ji Zhiguo Ningning to the three-year-old Eizan Zhijin. Although it still cannot change the fact that there is only one seat in the central food department, it still orders Ji. Ningning of Zhiguo can participate in the'Ten Outstanding Seats Competition'... It's really distressing! I don't know if I can rush to the top three seats?"

When he heard this news, Liu Subaru was also taken aback by the decision to cut thistle...

As for Alice's last sentence, Liu Subaru automatically blocked it.

It is estimated that she is also the fate of the last three seats...

Ji Zhiguo Ningning would transfer the seat, but Liu Subaru's expectation, but actually transferred to Ruishan Zhijin...Liu Subaru can't figure it out!

For example, when he transfers his seat to Alice and others, he obviously has his own considerations. The first person who gets the seat must not be too weak, otherwise he will not be able to convince the crowd. Once there are continuous performances that shame the Academy, it may be possible Being attacked by the board of directors, Liu Maoxing chose these four...

But at the same time, there is no need to be the top player on your side!

For example, Ye Shanliang, as well as the enhanced Mito Yumei and Mizuo Subaru, are not included in Liu Subaru’s transfer quota, because he hopes that these top players can, like himself, win the remaining five seats instead of transferring the current ones. Some seats.

And Eizan Ezu, who used to be the ninth seat, is more obsessed with "management", but his cooking skills can also withstand the test, at least better than the four-member group of Kuantaro.

But Naginari thistle chose Eizan as the holder of the existing seat?

Does he have a stronger hole card that can be used in the "ten champions contest"?

Liu Subaru suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked, "How is the preparation of the transfer students for the assessment? Who is responsible?"

Even if there are any other cards in the Naginata thistle, you can only enter the academy through the test of transfer students...

And the students who are purely "central gourmet organs" who recruit students independently are not entitled to fight for the top ten. For example, even Kuantaro and others have also passed the assessment of Tomotsu Academy.

Liu Subaru was also "shocked" at the time when he discovered that Kumai Fandao's skeletal age test results were really only seventeen years old!

"This year's test for transfer students was entrusted by the board of directors to Mr. Oizumi Kakinojin and Director Kyōshang Jingpu." Alice said.

It seems that people on the board of directors are also worried that the commander-in-chief will block all the students who transfer to the class...

After all, if there are really young chefs who have the ability to "challenge the top ten" and are of the right age, from the perspective of the board of directors, there is no reason not to accept it. Instead, I hope that the more such students, the better!

"It seems that there will really be a hard fight..." Liu Subaru sighed.

"I think that the'ranking battle' is just right for our third round of the game! You won't lose in the top five contest, will you? I want to see whether the two of us will have a seat Higher!" Erina said from the side.

And Scarlett is like hesitating and stopping...

After seeing Liu Maoxing, he couldn't help asking: "Little secretary, have you found anything?"

The fact that Liu Subaru called her "nickname" was automatically blocked by Feisha, but he just replied: "It is said that this time not only the general counsel of Zhongji, but also some students in the middle school of Neisheng. Caring existence..."

Alice said immediately, "Middle school? What do you care about those little kids? Secretary, are you too careful?"

Liu Subaru always feels that she is standing...

While Liu Maoyuan was listening to the clouds, mountains and mists, but vaguely understood, it seems that Yuanyue Academy is not peaceful now.

"You said that you can become a top ten if you win the battle for the top ten seats?" Liu Maoyuan interjected and asked.

"Huh? What are you doing with headphones? And you can actually understand the island Mandarin?" Alice wondered.

"Oh, a smart translation device, don't mind."

"You should first consider how to comfortably graduate! There are definitely more than ten people in the academy who are better than you..." Erina attacked from the side.

"Don't underestimate the results of my two-month training!"

During the noise all the way, Liu Subaru and others returned to Yuanyue Academy again.

Although there are still three days to start the school, because on the first day of school is the opening ceremony, and that afternoon is the first game of the "Ten Outstanding Seats Competition", which is also the "Qualifying Tournament", so almost all the students have already Go back to school and get ready!

Because it was said before that "all students" are eligible to register, so everyone's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high. Counting the 200 freshmen who have just entered the school, the number of applicants has reached 300, which does not include the applicants from the transfer... …

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a qualification battle that does not even count as the "preliminaries", and first eliminate the students who "join the fun".

The fifty people who are promoted will start the official competition just like the autumn trials. From the beginning of the preliminaries, with the attention of the academy directors, partners, and invited culinary professionals, the official competition will begin!

Fifty people are divided into two groups, and each group can advance to five people. In the end, the top ten will have a "1vs1" game.

It seems that the “decimal five” round of elimination system is used to determine the top five. It is not absolutely fair, but everyone knows that the two sides of the confrontation must be the supporters of Senzaemon and This, so there is nothing to this rule opinion……

"I'm back...Huh? Wenxu Maria, I won't be the last one again, am I?" Liu Subaru returned to Jixingliao.

Hearing Liu Subaru's voice, everyone came out one after another. In addition to the people in Pole Stars, the Aldini brothers, Misaku Subaru, Hojo Miyoko and others were actually there...

Liu Subaru could not help but feel a bad premonition in his heart. His "popularity" shouldn't be enough to be "welcomed" by everyone...

"A Xing! I heard that you took Miss Erina home with your parents during this holiday?"

"Well...how did I hear that Alice is also here?"

"Is it so amazing?"

"By the way, what's the matter with the distant cousin's fiancee? It is said that I will transfer to the third grade?"

"And, there is..."

Liu Subaru suddenly got a big head and secretly said: Is there a mistake?I just came back... Rumors come back sooner than me?(To be continued.)
