Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 397: Do I have to leave before the end?

"Don't worry, after I win Mr. Seiichiro, I will come to you for the sixth catch!"

Suddenly, Liu Pleiades remembered what he said before the game started...

At that time, Alice complained to him: Why does it feel like F1ag is being established?

"F1ag..." Liu Subaru smiled bitterly.?

"Give up?" Liu Subaru's heart shrank into a ball of light and shadow, and a voice came directly from his heart.

"Can you feel the bet for this'dark cooking showdown'? Will I...will die?" Liu Subaru asked calmly.

"If you lose, you will."

"...I must be crazy. If you think about it, it is unlikely that I will die even if there is a world war, right? The island nation is not safe... But I can go back to Bashu and hide, right? I can suggest Yuan Yue You also moved to Bashu, right?"

"Yes, but you didn't do that. If you choose again, you won't do that."

Looking back to the time before the start of the game, Liu Subaru did not accept Erina’s opinion, and chose to continue the "dark cooking showdown", which may lead to the final curse of the world war and completely wiped out...

After all, Liu Subaru's life before he traveled was terminated because of the by-product of the war.

So even if he knew that there was a risk, Liu Subaru was still unwilling to watch a new large-scale war in this world...

Isn’t it good for everyone to use cooking to decide the outcome?

Before crossing, I could only be bombed into the sky in a panic, but this time I have a chance to stop more tragedies... Maybe in addition to "gossip", people also have the instinct of "charging a hero", Liu Maoxing thought at the time.

But it didn't go well!

Before the start of the team match, the emcee announced the "Dragon Chef League Representative Team" and the "germinate Team", and they have agreed to complete the team match in the form of "1vs1".

The competition cannot object to this...

Because even if they oppose it, they just want to "1vs1". After a few more people play, there is no difference in the situation!

The audience naturally regards this as a performance of the "Dragon Chefs Alliance" following the example of the "Brahmin Tasting Association" and encouraging and fostering newcomers.

After all, in terms of overall strength, the "Dragon Chef League" dominates, and the "germinate team" is still a team that is not very good at team competitions. At this time, choosing "1vs1" is obviously beneficial to the "germinate team", and it can even be said to be given. "Germinate team" chance to win!

As soon as the "1vs1" "team match" started, Liu Subaru was taken aback. This time the ingredients...are there a little bit less?

Although it is the agreement "1vs1", the rules and arrangement of the "team competition" are still applicable, but only one person on both sides will play. The situation of the previous "seed team" and "Brahman Tasting Association representative team" is the same.

The rule is still to use the ingredients prepared by the competition, complete an unlimited number of dishes within two hours, and finally the five judges will decide the outcome...

In other words, it is a "meal", not a "meal"!

But after Liu Subaru's Seiichiro came on stage, he now cooks the ingredients prepared in Taichung. The amount seems to be a little bit small?

"Is this really enough for a'meal'? Uh...it seems to be enough!" Liu Maoxing couldn't help but muttered helplessly when something suddenly happened.

Indeed, in this "team competition", the types of ingredients prepared by the competition are not small, but the amount of each ingredient is basically at the level of "leftovers"!

Of course, it’s not to say that these ingredients are “leftovers”. For example, the prepared beef is definitely worth one piece of top-quality ribeye steak and one piece of filet steak. They are the beef with the largest proportion of fat and lean and lean meat. Only a quarter of the size...

In short, each ingredient is carefully calculated, and is regarded as the top in "quality", but in terms of "quantity" it looks like a diligent and thrifty!

At first glance, Liu Subaru even wondered, can this make a "meal"?

Did the competition know that they wanted "1vs1" from the beginning?

Or after knowing that they are going to "1vs1", they specially reduced the amount of ingredients?Wouldn't it be this way?

But immediately Liu Subaru showed up, what was his plan for this "team competition"!

The ingredients are indeed "insufficient". Although it is enough for the five judges to taste, according to the rules of the competition, at least a small portion of each dish is required for each person. The portion of "one bite" for each person obviously does not work. ...

But Pleiades Liu appeared. It wasn't that there was a bug in the problem. There was a bag of rice under the cooking table.

With these carbohydrates, it is indeed enough to make a "meal" for five judges to eat!

"It seems that the theme of this team competition...is the integration of scattered ingredients?" Liu Subaru was aware of the team's arrangement.

And Seiichiro has already begun to do it!

I don’t know if it’s because Seiichiro, who has been hiding the folks and operating civilian restaurants such as set-food houses, is good at this kind of "stupid" cuisine, or because he can make logical judgments faster after being cursed to suppress personal emotions. ...

Yes, before the game, Seiichiro did not hesitate to agree to understand Yunlong and Lin Yi’s suggestions, and "1vs1" with Liu Subaru, without even asking why, he was obviously affected by the "curse" and had lost some of his thinking and judgment. ability.

And after the game started, face to face with Liu Subaru on the same stage, he entered a situation where personal emotions were completely suppressed!

"Huh? Chuangzhen's father conceived a good recipe so quickly?"

"Indeed... these ingredients don't seem to regret enough!" Yuuhime and Ryoko couldn't help but sigh.

Although they don't know what dragon chefs are, they have met Seiichiro before. Although they can't say that they "understand" Seiichiro's cooking skills, they at least know that they are "high".

"Of course! My dad is best at this kind of stingy cooking!"

"Is this really a compliment?"

Chuang Zhen didn't know if he was also affected by the "curse", or because Seiichiro usually had a fighting face when he was in a confrontation with him, so he was used to it...he didn't show the strangeness of his father.

On the other hand, Liu Subaru first talked about the kitchen utensils and ingredients, arranged them in a convenient position, and took the opportunity to think about the recipe.

Obviously the focus of this competition is how to use scattered ingredients on the one hand, and on the other hand, the theme of cooking is set on "rice"!

Compared with the previous team competitions, the ingredients prepared by the competition are considered to be smaller.

"If you only consider ingredients other than rice, you can't make a dish that is enough for a'one dish' except for'random stew'... So the rational use of rice is also the meaning of the topic..." Liu Subaru silently analyzed.

Well, a few slices of meat can't make a dish, but it's enough to make a rice bowl!

For the same reason, not only the rice bowl, but also the cooking method of "Spanish Risotto"...

Other fried rice, pao rice, lazy rice... are also directions that can be considered!

Half an hour later, Liu Subaru was beaten in the face.

I thought that according to the given ingredients, it was no longer possible to get out of the cooking category combined with "rice". Who knew that just half an hour after the start of the competition, Seiichiro manually crushed the soaked rice noodles to make rice noodles... …

"Yes... rice noodles? No, it should be regarded as rice noodles... Damn it, are you too nervous? I didn't expect rice noodles before! But it's okay... It's not the direction of cooking with rice noodles, it's better than the reverse of rice noodles... I I need to calm down..." Liu Subaru muttered to himself.

Rice noodles and rice noodles are both strip-shaped ingredients made of rice, but there are still differences.

The taste of rice noodles is more sticky than rice noodles. The taste of rice noodles is described as "watery muscles and bones", while rice noodles are described as "soft muscles and bones"...

Rice noodles don’t need yeast. The physalis rice noodles in rice noodles are the products of fermentation. Most of the rice noodles are ground and steamed with water, then cut into strips, and some are pressed into noodles. In addition to rice as raw material, sweet potato flour and potato flour are also added.

But Seiichiro is obviously making pure "rice noodles" now...

Pleiades Liu also had to admit that if he had thought of "rice noodles" before, he would have a wider range in the choice of the final recipe!

However, this did not make Liu Maoxing despair. Liu Maoxing, who chose the "bowl of rice", also chose his own recipe.

The main dish is red wine beef as the main course of the rice bowl. In addition, the meat sauce made of pork, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients is mixed with the rice first, and a stock of squid and bonito is prepared to make a seaweed side dish...

The dishes are very simple, because Liu Subaru is now not only the ingredients, but also the types of spices and herbs, but also the most basic!

It is also at this time that the more able to test the level of the chef...

And Liu Subaru now almost wants to cry!

Although he himself is also a cook with extremely solid basic skills, in this regard, compared to Seiichiro who has been involved in folk cuisine for more than ten years, Liu Subaru even feels that he has been targeted!

This isn't the question that Naginari Thistle used to confess to Seiichiro?

Liu Subaru has slandered like this more than once!

Of course, as a qualified cook, it is too early to "despair" at any time before the results appear.

... What really made Liu Subaru desperate was after half of the results appeared!

In the past few duels with "Dragon Chef", both sides basically completed the work before the time limit, and then tasted each other's dishes, but this time Seiichiro... is more than half an hour faster than Liu Subaru!

In other words, it only took less than an hour and a half to present the dishes, and there was no use of the remaining time to prepare some "icing on the cake" dishes.

I don’t know if it’s enough to deal with Liu Subaru with confidence, or think that the result of my cooking has reached the "perfect" that does not need to be added...

Even if it is not for some time to consume fixed ingredients for pre-processing, Liu Subaru even suspects that Seiichiro can deliver the dishes within ten minutes!

For example, now that the soup, rice noodles and the like are all ready, other ingredients will provide him with enough, I am afraid it will be no problem to make hundreds of servings in an hour!

Indeed, if you wait for too long in the dining room, it is equivalent to a decline in popularity and loss of customers...

Obviously Seiichiro still maintains this habit, it is not like being in a game, as if there is no "craftsmanship" at all.

But Liu Subaru understands that this does not mean that Seiichiro's cooking is rough. On the contrary, Seiichiro's seemingly rough cooking style has a delicate side!

In terms of efficiency, Seiichiro is the only opponent who makes Liu Subaru feel at a disadvantage!

The most important thing is that after Seiichiro presented the rice noodles, he also prepared a copy for Liu Subaru, obviously not worried about "plagiarism" or targeted design...

Liu Subaru looked at the bowl of cooked rice noodles with various processed meat slices and other toppings placed in front of him. There was a special casserole of soup beside it, and several kinds of Seiichiro prepared in just over an hour. A good sauce makes me feel depressed.

Obviously, let the soup cool, or even put the rice noodles "over", resulting in the taste and taste decline before tasting. Under the rules of "dark cooking showdown", it won't work!

This is also the advantage of completing the cooking first, that is, it can be used by the other party to taste, which will cause psychological pressure...

But usually for top chefs, unless the strength is completely crushed, otherwise the "psychological pressure" will have little effect. Instead, shortening their time limit in order to be one step ahead means that the other party has more cooking time...

And if the strength is completely crushed, there will be no tactics!

So even if the rules allow it, very few people usually deliver food so early.

Now that it was submitted, Liu Subaru can only choose to taste...

It is also after tasting Seiichiro's cooking that Liu Subaru feels that he "cannot remember" his own recipe!

In other words, even Liu Subaru's original plan of the recipe, at this time, is already dull by comparison...

"Ah! Chuang Zhen, your father finished the cooking so soon? There is still enough time to make some decorations, right?" Yuu Ji wondered. The "decoration" she said was also a side dish with rich texture or flavor. Or side dishes.

"Of course! Daddy's degree has always been worthy of the title of'Xingping Dingshiya'! If Dingshiya is not done well, others will cry for business! As for'decoration'...I want to decorate it. , Dad had already thought about it at the beginning, and it was done!" Chuang Zhen said.

On the other side, Liu Subaru is in crisis...

Although Pleiades Liu did not lose immediately because his cooking hadn't taken shape, but Pleiades Liu knew that if he continued like this, the countdown to the completion of the cooking already coincides with the countdown to the completion of the cooking.

"Is this Mr. Seiichiro's strength? Obviously the ingredients are limited, so he designed a dragon-level recipe in such a short period of time? And this cooking heart is..." Liu Subaru said with a pale face.

That's right, Seiichiro's cooking has reached the dragon rank!

The reason why Pleiades Liu was more confident before was that it was difficult for Seiichiro to create a dragon-level recipe in a link where the recipe was confirmed on the spot in the team competition.

After all, even for Chef Dragon, creating a dragon-level recipe is difficult!

What's more, if you want to do this, it is still within the specified time, and the ingredients and spices are within the limited range, and there is no opportunity for experimentation.

However, "not to mention" is useless, Seiichiro has succeeded!

And Liu Subaru...

In the morning individual competition, the reason why the cooking has reached the "dragon level" is that the special ability of the "sun" chef is cheating.

At that time, Liu Subaru used the fragments of will he won from Paul and Xie Yunlong with the effect of the "fighting duel", and the rest of the fragments won from everyone else, but those were all one-off...

Now Liu Subaru has only the fragments of will he has just "winning" from Lin Yi in the "individual match" in the morning!

Even if it is used, just the fragments of Lin Yi's will are not enough to make Liu Subaru's "sun" exert the effect of the third stage...

To a certain extent, as long as the judges' psychology is not very biased towards Liu Subaru, or if there is a problem in their consciousness, then Liu Subaru, who is destined to be a dragon, has already lost!

Moreover, the "dark cooking showdown" is determined by the players themselves. There is absolutely no problem with Liu Subaru's taste, and the human subconscious cannot cheat.

"Is it true that Alice was right? I accidentally set up F1ag?" Liu Subaru smiled and shook his head.

Probably because of the heart of the other party's kitchen, Liu Subaru can't even recall his original recipe at this time, it seems that even the sense of taste has been blocked for a while.

And only a few cooks who knew the truth could not help but stand up after seeing the embarrassment in Liu Subaru's eyes after tasting Seiichiro's cooking. Obviously, Liu Subaru's dilemma was revealed!

"Master Liu, after I lose for a while, can you take over for me and continue the'final duel' with the opponent? I will try my best to control the backlash within the scope of'myself'!" Liu Subaru asked seriously.

Obviously he wanted to hope that after he was killed off by the backlash, "Liu Subaru" could continue the final "final duel" with Seiichiro according to the original plan!

Otherwise, if this continues... not only will war be unavoidable, but Erina may also be dangerous.

"No." Liu Subaru said the light group shrinking in his heart.

"Why? You weren't..."

"If you lose, it means that the insurance of the'Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot' has expired. Even if there is a chance to redeem it, it is still a matter of the'Phoenix Pattern Jade Dragon Pot', not to mention..."

Before Guang Tuan finished speaking, Liu Subaru interrupted him and said, "Then what if I let you out now?"

"You will still die."

"If you lose, you die, right?"

"As a chef, do you want to surrender before the cooking is complete?"

Liu Maoxing, who was already a little irritable, couldn't help but annoyed: "Did you have been sealed for too long and your brain broke? Didn't you want to use my body before? Why do you regret it now?"

"..."

"Now it's not that I want to escape, but that I have no chance of winning if I continue! This is not a problem of on-site swinging, but essentially, I don't have the foundation to'swing' to the same level as him!" Liu Subaru explained.

"Then are you ready?"

The light group actually agreed again immediately, as if it was just a ceremonial humility.

"Let me give you the last three minutes, remember your life." Guangtuan continued.

"Recall that you'beep'!" Liu Subaru even exploded foul language.

At this time, some audiences who paid attention to Liu Subaru Xing had already found something wrong...

"What's the matter? Erina, do you feel... A Xing seems to be shaking? How could it be... He is A Xing!" Yu Mei suddenly asked in a flustered manner.

But there was no response...

"Erina? Hmm? Where's Erina?" Yu Mei reacted at this moment.

The people around also realized at this moment, all of them were paying attention to the situation on the field just now, Erina... has disappeared!

"Ah! What is Miss Erina doing there? Wait, Miss Erina, I can't go up now!" Scarlett exclaimed.

I saw that she was pointing in the direction that Erina was on the sidelines, looking like she wanted to interrupt the game!

However, in the eyes of other people, it was Erinai who had not lost his mind at last, and did not cause trouble in the arena because he could not accept Liu Subaru's failure...

Only a few people know that what Erina can't accept is not Liu Subaru's failure, but Liu Subaru's disappearance!

And it's not that he didn't lose his reason, but was blocked by the effect of the "dark cooking showdown", as if there was a wall, blocking Erina firmly!

The appearance of Erina crying and screaming and beating the invisible wall, only a few spectators next to him noticed, and he was still talking about the leader of the "seed team" and why he was so fragile...

But after Yu Mei and others appeared, they felt a panic in their hearts for some reason, as if Erina's hysteria would be contagious.

Liu Subaru's trembling did not stop at this time, but he was determined to wait for three minutes when he saw the "light group", and he saw Erina on the side of the stadium, and the Scarlet Sand and Yu Mei who ran over after feeling something was wrong. Waiting for people, Liu Subaru's body trembling couldn't help becoming more violent.

"Three minutes? That's fine... I don’t know if you can hear my voice... Just now, I wanted to gritted my teeth, and after being a hero, I fell asleep without thinking about anything... But there was a bastard, but I must wait three minutes...I am shameful when I tremble?

That’s right, it’s not excitement this time, just pure fear... Tell me about it in three minutes... On the contrary, the more you recall, the more afraid... I will never have the opportunity to offer my own food to you... What to say The guy who calms down before death must be the biggest liar..."

Contrary to the initial "impatient" determination, during these three minutes, along with Liu Subaru's involuntary memories, more and more fears were revealed because of his calm thinking!

"Obviously I have experienced it once... Maybe it was too'happy' last time?" Liu Subaru smiled bitterly.

Perhaps it was because of the "life" before the journey, Liu Subaru didn't even react during the journey, and was bombed into the sky, so there was no such "long" pain.

It was also because of the previous "life" that Liu Subaru had already recalled the moment he was bombed into the sky. In the last few seconds of the "three minutes", Liu Subaru recalled the time he appeared at the gate of Yuanyue Academy. The scenes...

ps: The reason why I have pushed so many books is because this is the last time I have pushed a book other than myself...

It is expected that the book will be finished on Friday, and the new book will be synchronized at 0:00 on Friday (about 26 hours later). When the finale is updated on Friday, the new book should have been reviewed. Then I will tell you what the new book is called~8
