Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Because of geographical reasons, the Americas and the world only began to establish contact five hundred years ago, and the indigenous civilization and cooking skills of the Americas lag behind too many people from other continents at the same time, so the foundation is very poor, and it belongs to an immigrant area with independent cuisine. Sex is also very low, basically all variants of other cuisines...

Fortunately, because in the early days of the "Great Fusion of World Cuisine", which is almost the same period as the "Chinese Ichiban" era, the American country, the strongest country in America, experienced the Civil War, insisting on the theory of cooking class, monopolizing cooking resources, and restricting lower-class learning There was a fierce conflict between the die-hards of the old forces in the south who were cooking and the chefs in the north who were actively pursuing the free material theory.

In the end, the victory of the free-cooking people in the north completely broke the monopoly of cooking and allowed everyone to learn cooking on an equal basis. This enabled the United States to catch up with the wave of "global cuisine integration" and develop rapidly.

The "America Development Association" also came out during this period. Although it is incomparable with the three major cooking certification organizations, it is after all the "snake" in the American cuisine industry. Because of its existence, the influence of the three major cooking certification organizations in the Americas The force is also relatively weak.

As for the island country, it goes without saying that, as the base camp of Yuanyue Group, coupled with the mutual restraint and game of the three major cuisine organizations, although the star restaurants in the island country are certified by the three major cuisine organizations, their influence is still weak...

At the same time, the Yuanyue Group is the real overlord in the island cuisine industry. It is precisely because of the Yuanyue Academy that Edo has become the city with the most star-rated restaurants in the world. The cuisine is also full of flowers. It is separated from the stars of the major cuisines. Judging by the number of first-class restaurants, it is not even clear that this is an island city.

A large part of the reason is that the Totsuki Academy on the outskirts of Edo City has continuously cultivated cooking talents, and some of them have stayed in Edo...

The establishment of a branch school in the island country by Naginaki thistle is undoubtedly a provocation to the Yuanyue Group!

The previous actions at the Yuanyue Academy can be said to be the internal conflicts of the Yuanyue Group, and the views within the Yuanyue Group are not unified, but now that Nagakiji establishes its own branch school in the island country, he has to face the Yuanyue Group’s Counterattack and containment.

But this has nothing to do with Yuanyue Academy. As the foundation of Yuanyue Group, Yuanyue Academy still remains absolutely neutral, and as a student of Yuanyue Academy, the most important task is still...learning!

As a result, just a week after Liu Subaru was "indulged in learning and unable to extricate himself", the time for the "Top Ten Ranking Tournament" is getting closer...

Liu Subaru cares most about Erina. Firstly, among the other nine people, Erina and Isshiki are the best in terms of cooking skills. Secondly, because they don’t know the depth of the mysterious saint "Ling'er", now it is Erina. Rina's heart...

At first, Liu Subaru thought that the guy just "will fulfill the responsibility of being the chef of Erina" in name, but actually he would not put these in appreciation...

Who knows, judging from the current situation, that guy is obviously very interested!

"Compared to Erina, who probably understands her strength, it is totally unknown what Ling'er has..." Liu Subaru had a headache.

However, judging from some of Ling'er's previous behaviors, the ability should not be underestimated!

It is for this reason that Liu Subaru has been thinking of ways to bypass the problem of "dark cuisine" and strive to use the "sun" cooking mind in the competition.

Only by using the power of the "source of the sun" to eliminate the influence of other kitchen hearts, can Liu Subaru be confident!

However, "Dark Cuisine" was a full subject, but Liu Subaru scratched his head.

In the usual sense, "dark cuisine" can have two meanings. One is the popular saying in the world before Pleiades traveled through the world, which is to call those curious and even prohibitive dishes "darkness". "Dish", such as "Weilong Fried Rice", "Green Pepper Stir-Fried Big Mouth Monkey", "Watermelon Stewed Banana", "Broiled Pig Milk'Beep' Head"...all belong to this category!

Xingping and his son like to make some "dark dishes" in their spare time as entertainment items, but if they are used in competitions, it is estimated that they will lose miserably, even "Cooking Heart" can't save them.

In addition to the influence of the chef’s own strength or weakness, the effect of the “cooking mind” in cooking depends on the degree of matching of the cooking and the cooking mind and the integrity of the source of the ingredients.

Not to mention that these "dark dishes" don't match with any cooking, let alone those ingredients that are cooked in such a way, they have long been "deadly", the source has been destroyed!

And another kind of "dark cuisine" that Liu Subaru knows about is closely related to the world of dark cuisine.

In a broad sense, the dishes cooked with "dark stunts" can be called "dark dishes", such as Rennes's fresh sea bream mountain and Asian magazine's Tianxiong moxibustion herring, which seem to be full of positive energy. It can also be regarded as "dark cooking" because it does use the techniques of the "dark cooking world".

In the narrower sense, it refers specifically to dishes that can confuse people's hearts, that is, the ingredients used or the heart of the kitchen, and have the nature of "inducing" and "confusing", such as "snake blood poisonous mushroom porridge made by using dishes to capture the beauty of other people's homes ", the "poppy rice noodles" made by Sesame in the super chef assessment, and the series of controlling people's minds made by Kaiyou with "Eight Devils"...

Although the first two did not use "dark stunts", but used the nature of the ingredients to achieve their own goal of controlling people's hearts, they are also dark dishes!

In contrast, "bright" cuisine seeks to satisfy the hearts of diners, or use cuisine to express their will and heart.

From this point of view, the role played by the "demon" cooking heart of Naginaki thistle is obviously "dark cuisine."

And Joichiro’s "Sura" belongs to the gray area. It is neither to confuse people, nor to satisfy diners, or to express their will, but to simply “clear” diners’ senses about other dishes. It is pure "Defeat" Kitchen Heart!

However, in Yuanyue’s "Top Ten Ranking Tournament", although the contestants are free to show how the "dark cuisine" is displayed, it is the judges who determine whether the cuisine meets the topic. So the intuitive way to solve the problem is to use Black ingredients...

If Liu Subaru only uses the "dark cuisine" in his own impression, he will obviously not be recognized. For example, if he insists that "Tianxiong moxibustion herring" is a dark cuisine, I am afraid that even if it is a garden fruit, he will only smile and say something. : "This is not possible! A Xing!"

"That is to say, you can't give the'dark cuisine' other specific meanings, but the real'dark cuisine', such as the style of Nao Sadazuka, which looks like it has been released with black magic!

With my current cooking skills, it’s not difficult to make dark and delicious dishes, but the difficulty lies in how to apply the “sun cooking mind”... and the cooking will be done at night, that is to say, the sunshine The steps involved must be carried out in the pretreatment stage!"

Only the ingredients are black, but the overall dishes are not "black" at all, and the judges may not buy it, and this is the most contradictory point for Liu Subaru!

After a long time of thinking, Liu Subaru decided in his heart what kind of recipe to use and determined the general direction...

"A Xing, why are you still hiding here to practice?" Yu Mei suddenly broke into the lounge where Liu Subaru was practicing, and Alice followed.

"Huh? Have I even been banned from personal practice? I want to'hide'?" Liu Subaru said inexplicably.

"Of course you can do personal practice, but did you forget something today?" Yu Mei asked.

Pleiades Liu looked at the displeased expression, his mind quickly turned, but he still didn't remember who he was having an appointment with today, and among the several girls, the birthday of the closest girl should be Alice Nagechi. but……

"Alice, is your birthday next month?" Liu Subaru confirmed.

Alice flushed, and then said, "Who told you this! Ah Xing is stupid, stupid!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Mei said helplessly: "Sure enough, I completely forgot...Today is the day when the list of research institutes to be reviewed is submitted! Don't forget, although the'central food organization' has already gone, the assessment system of the research institutes After the modification, it was saved. As the new top ten, we need to evaluate the research agency'to be reviewed' on time...

Afterwards, through the "cooking showdown" method, let the other party show their own results, let the judges evaluate whether the research club has achieved the expected results, and decide whether the funding of the research club will increase or decrease!"

"It looks troublesome... Why am I completely impressed? By the way! I seemed to say that the other day, and then I will put the report on your desk..."

"Yeah! I also want to ask you, why should I put my report form on my desk? Now I am also a top ten. I can handle some things for you when I have free time, but it cannot be the same as before. , I have taken care of it all for you!

And most importantly!Why would you enter my room while I am away?Don't you know that girls can't enter the boudoir casually?"Yu Mei blushed and said.

Liu Maoxing just remembered that Yu Mei is also a top ten, and she has lost a capable secretary!

"By the way, when you guy entered my room, did I just forget to lock the door?" Yu Mei said suspiciously.

"No, I sometimes use the dynamometer in your room, so I have a key for myself..."

"You are a beep harassment! Asshole!"

Well, instead of letting Yu Mei complete the ten outstanding affairs for herself, Liu Subaru Xing lost a spare key.

"Today is the deadline for submitting the list. Which research agency are you going to review? Let me register for you!" Yu Mei said as he took out the form, as if to help him fill it out.

The inspection system of the research agency has been preserved, but not every research agency or every year has to be inspected, but the list of inspections submitted by Shijie...

The reason for the investigation can be "positive", which is to increase the funding of the research club, or it can be "reverse", which means that the funding of the research club needs to be reduced!

After that, the nominated ten outstanding noodles will have a "cooking showdown" with the other's representatives...

That's right, it's a "cooking showdown" rather than a "food halberd" of purely gambling nature!

Gamble with Shijie?For most research societies, this is basically a task that could have been accomplished.

The "cooking showdown" is different. Although there will be winners and losers, they are not gambling with winners and losers. Whether to increase or reduce funding depends on the judgment of the judges. As for the victory or defeat, it is only for Let the heads of the research club realize the gap with the top ten, even if the funding is really reduced, it is only a means that can convince them.

"This one……"

Liu Maoxing suddenly became entangled. He wanted to nominate the "Chinese Cuisine Research Society" to increase funding, but he himself was the main general, so he could not nominate, and in the past, he had subconsciously regarded this as a pot to throw out... Ah, no. , Is a problem that has been handed over to Yu Mei, so I have not thought about the quota!

"By the way, what research institute did you nominate for Roumei?" Liu Subaru asked, seeming to want to refer to it.

"Me? I'm nominated for the guy from the'Dining Accompaniment Research Club'! When studying and tasting food all day, what kind of music is best to listen to. Every day club activities are listening to music and eating. It's time to remind them, Yuanyue’s Funds are not used like this!"

Yu Mei didn't know when he had accepted Liu Subaru's name as "Mei Mei", or the auditory nerve would automatically filter Liu Subaru's "Mei Mei" into "Yu Mei".

"'Dining accompaniment research club'? It seems that there is such a wonderful society. I heard Dawu talk about it before... By the way! At that time, he also wanted to say that there was a research club specializing in the study of food in comics. What is it called'Manshi Research Society'? Really! This kind of guy should also be reminded, just fill it out for me!" Liu Subaru's inspiration flashed.

"Eh? Are you sure? This..." Yu Mei was stunned.

"Yes, just fill in this! The time for the club review is on Sunday, right? It's really in a hurry, but it doesn't matter. If I have to design the recipes in advance for the leaders of this kind of club, it will be too bullying. It's..."

Because Liu Subaru Star had some considerations in the recipes to be used in the finals, his mind was not here at all, he was just acting casually.

And when Yu Mei just wanted to say something, Alice's eyes flashed with a sly brilliance, pushing Yu Mei out, while saying: "Okay! Since A Xing has said so, then fill it in!"

Liu Subaru also did not see the weird looks of Yu Mei and Alice. Before Yu Mei was pushed out, she also specifically confirmed: "Then I can really fill it? From Manshi Research Society... I guess you will do it at night. Showdown."

"Oh, then good evening." Liu Subaru agreed casually.

After Alice had left for half an hour, Liu Subaru, who had completed a new attempt again, suddenly reacted, why was the "Research Club Review Showdown" scheduled to night?

This kind of review is not an important game. It can be conducted in several games at the same time. Is it necessary to arrange it in the evening?

However, Pleiades Liu did not struggle for too long, but instead focused on the next difficulty that needs to be overcome in the final recipe...

Although the recipes used have been finished products in the "Zhonghua Yifan" era, Liu Subaru is still tirelessly improving. After all, more than a hundred years have passed and there is still a lot of room for improvement!

At the same time, Erina looked at Alice with an unhappy expression and asked, "That guy really reported to the Manshi Research Society?"

"Yes, Yu Mei wanted to stop him from coming, but he didn't listen." Alice spread her hand.

"Glitter, great! It seems that someone can't wait? I'll call Saotome and ask her to put me on the battle list as the honorary leader of the'Manshoku Research Society' then!" Erina Fighting Spirit MAX.

"By the way, what else does he say?" Erina asked again.

"Um... I think about it... That's right! I also said,'If I have to design a recipe in advance to deal with the chief of this kind of society, I will bully her too much.' Come!" Alice said vowedly.

Seeing Urina's spirited start to prepare the recipe for two consecutive duels, Alice walked out with a cheerful smile, like a kid who had succeeded in a prank.

"I said this is really good? Ah Xing doesn't know that Erina is the honorary chief of the Manshi Research Society, right?" Yu Mei asked.

"Huh? Is that so?" Alice pretended to be what she had just learned.

Looking at Yu Mei's speechless expression, Alice patted her shoulder and said, "Okay! Isn't this fun? It can also improve the progress of the bet between Erina and him! In the end, I also do it for him. , Um, yes, that's it!"

Yu Mei rolled her eyes, Alice's character is "bad", she has seen it too many times...

Yes, the research direction of "Manshoku Research Society" is indeed very curious, but Erina was more obsessed with girl manga before, so he has a common language with Saotome, the leader of "Manshoku Research Society", and Saotome also recommends it to Erina. Few comics that interest her.

Even "Manshi Research Society" in addition to researching the food that appears in the comics, will also create some cartoons independently, because Erina, who is very interested in "Manshi Research Society", also created "Manshi Research Society". The honorary chief of, quite a bit of a posture to back it up!

Pleiades Liu obviously doesn’t know this yet, so he directly called for the review of "Manshi Research Society"...

"See! Strange...have a cold?" Liu Subaru said in confusion while sneezing.

Up to this moment, Liu Subaru did not know that the reason why he chose "Manshi Research Society" was to have a "cooking showdown" in the evening, because "Moon and Sky" was used when the two ten bests played against each other. The way to time the month position can only be carried out at night!

However, at the same time, Liu Subaru finally perfected the innovative recipe before the final of the "Top Ten Ranking Tournament"...

"Dear classmates, seniors, seniors, seniors! Do you miss me? After a week, Rei Kawashima met you again!"

Kawashima Rei's sense of stage is becoming more and more mature...How can this guy "pass" the assessment every time?Obviously you spend most of your time learning the skills of the emcee?

Hey, if you have this time, you don’t want to learn how to cook. What a mess!

Liu Subaru sighed in his heart, not realizing that he was about to be "brainwashed" by the thinking of this world...

And Rei Kawashima continued to stir up the atmosphere on the stage: "My classmates and I are undoubtedly lucky, because we are probably the first batch to appreciate the ten outstanding talents and cook at the same time since the establishment of the college. The students! Today’s qualifying match between the moon and the sky is destined to be included in the history of Yuanyue..."

Rei Kawashima gave a semi-improvised speech "Procrastinate Time". Because of the special timing rules "between the moon and the sky", the moon must be almost completely out before the players can enter the arena.

At this time, Pleiades Liu, who was waiting to play in the waiting area, became more and more bored, so he chatted with Erina on the side: "Kawashima-san’s master of ceremonies is really getting higher and higher, but I don’t know her chef. How about the speed of art promotion..."

"Huh? Yeah! Looking at this kind of people who don't do their jobs, do you find it unpleasant to you, Liu Subaru? Can't wait to expel her?" Erina said with a fighting face.

"Huh? Also...Isn't it expelled? When did you and Kawashima Rei have such a good relationship?" Liu Subaru asked in confusion.

He now thinks that Erina is holding injustice for Rei Kawashima, and he doesn't know that he has offended Erina in matters reviewed by the research institute.

"Humph!" Erina turned her head directly.

Liu Subaru is becoming more and more unclear, but when he wanted to ask again, Kawashima Rei had announced that the players had entered the field.

As a new world, the appearance of Liu Subaru and others immediately attracted the greatest attention.

Many invited guests have also been talking about it. The ten outstanding people of Yuanyue Academy are almost destined to be in a few years. It is normal that the emerging new generation of chefs will be paid attention...

Among the ten people, if they must be placed in an order, the three people most concerned are undoubtedly Erina, Isshiki and Liu Suoxing. Among them, Erina is almost certainly the heir of the Nagiri family, and Isshiki is the previous one. Everyone thinks that the students who have the greatest hope for the first seat.

As for Liu Subaru...Several games outside the academy, let everyone know the name, and the two defeats of Erinai's record is also eye-catching. More importantly, it is said that Liu Subaru will be Erina's fiance!Others claimed that he would be Alice’s fiancé, and in some "nonsense" they claimed that he had an improper relationship with Sister Nageki...

There are even people who claim to have witnessed Liu Subaru and Erina kissing!

After that, there are ten outstanding people like Oda Nobuna, Alice, Hishisa, and Yumei, who have also heard of them before. Finally, for the guests outside the academy, the relatively unfamiliar Yuping Sojin, Kurokiba Ryo, Tian Suohui...
