Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 818 Winning the Game
Moreover, the presentation of this dish is also very eye-catching. In order to get a higher score, all the little things that Mu Jie brought over before were placed on this dish. .

At first glance, it has a strong Chinese style. Although after the arrangement, several people including Chen Nian felt that there were too many elements, but at the same time they also felt that it was a bit magical, and the more they looked at it, the more interesting it became.

In fact, these customers are indeed attracted by these gadgets.

Immediately after they heard the name of this dish, some knowledgeable people told the origin of this dish.

"Pu Cai is one of the special products of Daming Lake, but it is also grown in other places, and this kind of dish is also called Pu Sun. It still exists, and Pucai in milk soup is also a flavor dish in Jinan among the eight major cuisines of Lu cuisine.

It is seasoned with broth. Although it is called milk soup, it is actually milky broth. "

While talking, the man took a sip of the soup first, and then continued to admire: "The taste is rich and delicious. It looks like a well-cooked broth. I think the beef bones may be used, and the side dishes added are also quite good." Pay attention, although the ingredients are not so complete, but I guess the ingredients that can be used in the kitchen should be limited, not just use whatever you want.”

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of cattail, and nodded after eating it: "The cattail is very tender, and it tastes crunchy, and the color matching is very refreshing."

After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but tasted it following his actions.

He drank soup, and others drank soup.

He eats vegetables, and others eat vegetables.

After reviewing the food, the man picked up the bread that came with it.

First, I sniffed it close to the tip of my nose: "This bread smells very fragrant. It is probably made by a master who specializes in pastry, and I seem to smell some fruity aroma in it."

As he spoke, he put the bread into the soup and soaked it for two or three seconds before taking it out.

After one bite, the crispy Chinese bread baked on the outside didn't soften immediately after being soaked in the soup. On the contrary, because he ate it in time, there was a slight clicking sound after his mouth.

After one bite, the soup contained in the slightly tough bread dripped out, warm and delicious.

At the same time, he seemed to have tasted some fruit in the bread, but it wasn't that strong.

It's very faint, but it's showing its presence all the time.

When he was talking just now, Beibei brought the cameraman to his side with a microphone to listen to his comments.

"To be honest, this dish is really beyond my expectation. First of all, the cattail soup in milk soup is already a very qualified soup dish, and it is well done.

At the beginning, I was worried that blindly combining Chinese and Western food would be counterproductive, and after smelling the fruity flavor in the bread, I also worried that the added fruit would spoil the taste.

But now I find that this chef is really good. Although the fruit is used, the fruit is not visible. It is another wonderful feeling to eat the soup after dipping the bread in the mouth.

The umami taste of the soup dominates, while the fruity taste seems to be suppressed at that moment, and the slight sweetness can not be felt until after eating. I think this dish is the best among so many dishes today. one of them. "

After the man finished speaking, the others followed suit.

Although they can't understand a bit, but let people talk too much?

And it looks very professional.

People follow the crowd. After he finished speaking, other people ate it, as if they really ate the content of all his comments just now.

They all nodded in satisfaction.

The guests at other tables also heard this, and when Beibei went to interview later, they all said different words of praise.

Beibei also felt a little greedy, but she is the host now, so she can't taste it directly.

So after interviewing a few people, she returned to the rostrum.

And at this moment, the chefs from both sides were invited over again.

As before, the scoring form was sent out first, and after the customers scored and returned the form, the staff counted the scores over there, and the chefs also began to taste each other's dishes.

This time, both parties showed their true skills.

"First of all, the deep-fried spring rolls made by the chef from the Italian team, I personally like it better, because it incorporates some of our Chinese cooking methods, but I can't stand the taste of the zheer root in it, if the zheer root can be removed , I think this dish is perfect.

But there is no way around this, just like I don't want to use preserved eggs, but I have to use them when I get them. "

"Then there is their pasta. I feel it is okay after eating it. It is very authentic Western style, but there is still a fly in the ointment that is too much soup."

In this round of comments, Mu Jie also told the truth, and stopped talking to Si Ni like before.

Because he felt that only in this round did the opponent really get serious.

Looking at Abraham, after having tasted two rounds of Chinese food, he has a full understanding of the cooking style of Chinese chefs.

"The tomato goulash was delicious and the broth was so rich, it's hard to imagine they could handle the beef in such a short amount of time, because as far as I know, the city we're in right now has some stuff due to the air pressure Not so familiar.

But this should also be the wisdom of Chinese chefs. I admire this point, but I feel that the taste of preserved eggs is a little strange, and the color is not so beautiful. "

Abraham also talked about this issue, but just as Mu Jie understood him, he could also understand why Mu Jie did what he did.

So many photographers were there to take pictures, so naturally they couldn't hide this dish secretly.

Since you can't hide it, you can only use it.

Then he began to taste the second dish prepared by the Chinese chef in the third round.

Like those diners, he also took a sip of the milk soup with cattail vegetables first. The light and rich feeling made him feel astonished, because there are also broths in the West.

And this cattail dish in milk soup is a perfect dish even if it is placed in their place.

Then he looked at the toast again, but he didn't eat it immediately, but broke off a small piece with his hands, and saw that the color inside was slightly yellow, and after adding some fruity smell, he also I understand how Yao Guangbin handled it in the kitchen just now.

"The bread is baked quite well. If it was in my restaurant, a piece of bread would cost about eight euros."

After Abraham finished speaking, he soaked the bread in the soup again, took it out and put it in his mouth a few seconds later, the taste was basically the same as that of the customers just now.

After the bread is eaten, the outer skin still maintains a slightly crispy feeling, and the soup inside bursts when you bite it down.

"I'm going to take back what I said earlier. I think this dish is more delicious than the rice noodles with kumquats."

Mu Jie was watching Abraham talking happily. Although he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, he always felt that the other party should be praising him.

In the end, the staff also counted the scores of the two sides in this round, as well as the total scores of the three rounds.

"The third round of the King of Chefs Competition in Yunnan Station, after the fierce competition between the chefs of the Chinese team and the Italian team, our public judges also gave their final scores for the four dishes in the third round.

In the third round, the Italian team scored 35 points and the Chinese team scored 45 points! "

"The Italian team has a total score of 110 points in three rounds, and the Chinese team has a total score of [-] points in three rounds. I will announce that the Chinese team will win the Chinese-Italian matchup in Yunnan Station of the King of Chefs!"

After the words fell, the guests below all began to applaud.

Including Abraham applauded after hearing the translation, and now he has sincere admiration for these Chinese chefs.

In the past, he had always cooked western food on his own side, and he really didn't have much contact with Chinese food. He didn't expect that he would be scorned by the other party when he first came here.

But even so, he still felt that bringing the last dish to the other party was really amazing.

Not to mention that Chen Nian got along well with them before, and he didn't target them everywhere because it was at home in China and the two sides were competitors. Instead, he generously provided them with rice noodles.

After the game, the chefs of both sides will give speeches, the first being Mu Jie.

They won the game, and the smile on Mu Jie's face never stopped.

Therefore, when he said it, he also praised the other party.

And so did Abraham.

Although he lost the game, but this time he lost convincingly, but even if he lost here, he didn't think he would lose again after returning to Italy.

Because most of the customers here are Chinese, Chinese chefs know more about Chinese taste habits.

After arriving in Italy, the customers become Italians.

These Chinese people will never know the tastes of people in their own country better than themselves.

Even if the difference between the two sides is eleven points now, he still feels that he will definitely overtake this score when he goes back.

But since they lost the game, they will be punished accordingly.

That is to eat the worms living in the bowl.

After seeing the bug, everyone in the Italian team put on pain masks on their faces.

In the end, Abraham Khan sighed, picked up a piece of worm and threw it into his mouth.

Seeing that the chef of the restaurant did this, the others had no choice but to pick up the bugs and throw them into their mouths with their eyes closed, before eating them.

However, Mu Jie is not the kind of person who just likes to have fun. Just after they ate, Mu Jie also brought a bowl containing worms from there. He picked it up and ate one first, and then put the bowl Pass it to someone else.

Although Chen Nian was somewhat resistant to eating raw bugs, he had never eaten this kind of thing before, and he was a little more curious about the things he hadn't eaten before.

For him, it's just a little uncomfortable at most, but he can still eat it, so he also picked up one and put it in his mouth.

As for the taste of the bug, Chen Nian felt that it was better not to think too much about it.

But in any case, this game is over.

Next, they will rest here for a few days, and then go to Italy to continue the game at the opponent's home court.

After winning this victory, they returned to the hotel and immediately held a celebration banquet.

Because both sides made mistakes in the first two rounds, and each had its own highlights.

Until the last round, their first dish also lost a lot of impression points among customers because they used ingredients that they didn't want to use but had to use.

But on this last dish, Chen Nian and Yao Guangbin worked together.

One makes bread and the other makes soup, which directly conquers everyone's taste buds.

This gave them a full ten-point lead in the final round.

"Master Chen, it's thanks to you this time, otherwise we would have lost, and we lost on our territory, and we probably won't win much when we get to other people's place. Come on, let's raise our glasses and respect Chen first." A glass, master."

Mu Jie's call to Master Chen was convincing. Although they gave priority to the ingredients for this dish, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Nian lived up to everyone's expectations.

After drinking it, Chen Nian said politely: "No, no, it's not all due to me, the masters also contributed a lot."

Necessary modesty is indispensable, but Chen Nian is indeed very happy in his heart now.

"Not to mention anything else, I asked them about it later, about our last dish of Pucai in milk soup served with court dim sum. After it was served, a customer seemed to understand it. I talked there for a long time. I guess other people The high scores of the guests should also have this factor." Zhou Ji said at this time.

"That's for sure, that's what we're talking about here. If you want me to say that these customers really don't know much, and it's not the same as letting amateurs serve as judges and cooking for guests in restaurants.

One of the biggest problems is that they sometimes pretend to understand, that is, they feel that they are not bad, but they have to pick out some problems, but I think our dishes are quite good. , Didn’t the host also eat it later?I also secretly asked her, and she also told me that our food here is better. "Mu Jie said.

"That's right, but people always like to be in the limelight. This is actually understandable. Anyway, this time we won the game in China, and we will go to Italy next time. Then we will work harder. Take advantage of the victory and pursue, and study hard these few days, and strive to win the stomachs of foreigners in time!"

"Okay, then I hope that our trip to Italy will also promote our Chinese cuisine!"

Finally, they toasted together again to celebrate the victory.
