Food: I, Liu Maoxing, can’t be low-key at all - Chapter 51
“Senior Kuga Teruki, what can I say? After tasting your dishes and Liu Maoxing’s dishes, I can say that your dishes have flaws, and Liu Maoxing’s dishes also have flaws, and they are much more than yours.”Erina spoke
“So why did you choose him?”
“Am I more handsome?”Liu Maoxing’s words came from the side.
Everyone in the venue looked at Liu Maoxing with dead fish eyes.
Can you be a little self-aware?
You are not handsome enough to make Miss Erina give you a preference!!
What do you think of my granddaughter?
Do you want to die?
“Don’t talk nonsense. There are many flaws in your dishes, but there is one thing I don’t understand. How do you make the flaws collide with each other and become advantages?”Erina said patiently
“The flaw becomes an advantage?”
The whole audience was silent, and none of them understood the meaning of this sentence.
“Every chef will make some mistakes in the process of cooking. Most people think about how to make up for the mistakes, but in the process of rushing to make up for them, they often make some new mistakes. But I think about how to use the mistakes and turn them into rare advantages. It’s that simple.”
“It’s the same as saying nothing.”Kawashima Rei was silent for a while, and expressed the thoughts of many people.
“There is no way around it. Everyone makes different mistakes. You can only use your brain to correct the mistakes you made. I can’t help you.”Liu Maoxing spread his hands and said
“Can you wait a moment?”Kuga Teruki interrupted Liu Maoxing’s speech
“”Hmm.” Liu Maoxing decisively stopped talking.
“How to change the flaws, everyone has different opinions. I only have one question now, where did I lose? Three judges, can you explain it clearly? If it is just the difference in technology, I don’t think it will drive you so crazy.”
“Let me tell you.” Nakiri Senzaemon raised his head.
“This competition is a showdown of Dragon Country cuisine, with tofu as the main ingredient. The dish made by Teruki Kuga is the New Century Mapo Tofu. Using traditional techniques to perfectly integrate foreign ingredients into dishes is a very commendable creativity and ability.”
“That’s right.” Teacher Roland Chapelle said
“Liu Maoxing’s dish combines ten flavors into one. It is not an exaggeration to call it a banquet of Dragon Country tofu cuisine.”
“You mean… his dish incorporates the eight major cuisines of Dragon Country cuisine!!”Kuga Teruki said with a trembling voice
“In addition to the eight major cuisines, it also incorporates two completely opposite cooking flavors: top-level Dragon Country banquet cuisine and Dragon Country folk home cooking.
In other words, Liu Maoxing’s dish is a combination of ten flavors.
The most amazing thing is that there is no conflict between his ten flavors.
Instead, they are integrated into one and set off each other.
No flavor is overshadowed by the other flavors, and the flavors are perfectly balanced.
He surpassed you with this technique.
”
“……”
Kuga Teruki was completely stunned.
What kind of god was I up against?
“So for this duel, I choose Liu Maoxing. He is better than you. At least in terms of Dragon Country cuisine, I can assert that few people in the entire academy can tie with him. This is the result that even the teacher is taken into account.”Nakiri Senzaemon knocked on the table and looked at Liu Maoxing.
“You’ve praised me so much, how can I pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?” Liu Maoxing smiled awkwardly, silently cursing in his heart.
“”Huh… OK. I lost. I didn’t expect that I would lose in this Dragon Country cuisine, but I never thought I would lose so badly.” Kuga Teruki was a little shocked.
“There are many unexpected things. As for my skills, in my grandfather’s words, I have just started. Haha, you can’t think of this, right?” Liu Maoxing said
“Just getting started? Your skills? You are so fake!! Are you trying to comfort me, or murder me!!!”Kuga Teruki jumped up.
“Yes. That’s exactly what my grandfather said about me. He thought my skills were barely passable, too fancy, too flashy.”
“So what am I?”
“Beginner. Apprentice level. Doing odd jobs in the kitchen is considered a honor. The butcher in my restaurant is also a master chef with ten years of cooking experience. Any of the second chefs can hold up the world on their own.”Liu Maoxing said it one sentence at a time.
“I won’t live anymore!!”Kuga Teruki pounded the floor and cried bitterly.
“Oops… I think I hit her too hard.” Liu Maoxing slapped his face.
Nakiri Senzaemon waved to Kawashima Rei.
“Now the result is announced. The result of the food battle is Liu Maoxing, the winner.”
“Ah!!! Liu Maoxing actually won this food battle! Too strong! Hey, with this, Liu Maoxing has become the second person among the freshmen in high school to become one of the top ten, right? He is evenly matched with Miss Erina! Yes, the new top ten is born!!”
“”Wow! Make way! Liu Maoxing! What do you think at this moment? Please say a few words.” A group of reporters immediately surrounded Liu Maoxing.
“What do you think? Yes. I am very happy that I did not lose this food battle.”
“Do you have anything to say about becoming one of the new top ten?”
“What does the Ten Greatests have to do with me? I don’t want to be one of the Ten Greatests.”
Everyone in the meeting hall was stunned, including the Ten Greatests and the Commander-in-Chief.
“But, you beat Senior Kuga Teruki! In terms of strength, you won the position of the top ten!”
“Hmm. Can’t he just change the sign? I don’t want to be one of the top ten. If you are one of the top ten, you have to deal with a lot of things in school, right?”
“Um”
“I am here to study, not to work. I came to school to have less to do at home. If you want me to be a manager, you might as well let me drop out of school.”
“Young people should have some responsibilities on their shoulders.”Said Nakiri Senzaemon
“No. I lose this game, okay?”
“no”
“Then let’s call it a tie. Anyway, I will never be one of the top ten. If you force me, I will drop out of school. Besides, the bet between him and me didn’t mention the position of the top ten!!”While Liu Maoxing was talking, he packed up his things.
Many people in the audience remembered the bet between the two.
“Liu Maoxing, come here.” Nakiri Senzaemon waved at Liu Maoxing with a sinister smile.
“What’s the matter? Just tell me. Anyway, I have no chance of becoming one of the top ten.”
“You can make a lot of money by being one of the top ten”
“I have enough money, and too much money will attract thieves.”
“The top ten have great power in the school, even the teachers have to obey your arrangements”
“Then I will be busy too, right?”
“No, you can push the work to others. Some of the top ten also do this.”
Kobayashi Ryodan, who was in the audience, turned his head and looked at the white-haired young man Si Yingshi, who was the first of the top ten and to whom he often pushed the work.
“It’s boring. I have to fight with the other ten heroes for some rights. It’s so troublesome.”
“The top ten students can be equipped with the best kitchen and the best kitchenware by the school, and can freely read various recipes collected in the school library. Some of these recipes can even be called legendary recipes.”
“I have all of these.”Liu Maoxing knocked on the steel stick in his hand and said
“Brat! Don’t go too far!!”
The old man was furious, and everyone present was trembling with fear, and a burst of the aura of a superior burst out.
“Not too much. Grandpa, I came to this academy to become stronger, so I will only follow my own path of cooking. My destiny is determined by myself, and even God cannot change it. In Chinese, that is – my destiny is determined by me, not by God. So, I will not care about the path given to me by others. Please bear with me!!”Liu Maoxing did not give in at all.
The old man was stunned for a while and smiled:”Okay. As you wish. But I will give you the same right to apply for funds as the top ten. This is what you deserve! You get it with your strength! Yuanyue Academy will never be stingy in cultivating talents! You must accept this reward. Otherwise, you will drop out!”
“This is quite what I want. At least I don’t have to sell tofu to earn pocket money. I accept it.”
Everyone was stunned.
Boss!
Why are you thinking of selling tofu at this time?
