I don't really spray people.

Chapter 306 Respective opponents

In fact, the four dishes served by Yohei Matsumoto, especially the stewed duck at the end, are definitely not bad in Bairenzong. Both the taste and the presentation are of the three-star Michelin standard.It's just that, after Adam and Jamie's set meal, this set meal is really a bit mediocre.

"This dish uses Yoshino stew, a unique cooking method in Japan." Matsumoto Yohei explained, "Using this stewing method can eliminate the peculiar smell in the meat, which is very commonly used in our side. A way of stewing."

"Ah, it's really unique. Including sake, miso, and Japanese soy sauce..." Bai Renzong was stunned.

He wondered in his heart how many points should be given to Matsumoto Yohei's set meal.

But just as he was thinking about it, Luo Qing's food was also served.

"It's also the first time for this old man to serve food in this way. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Luo Qing smiled slightly.

"Hey, you're being polite." Bai Renzong hastily greeted him politely.

Then Luo Qing put the tray in his hand in front of Bai Renzong.On the tray are squid flowers, fresh mustard and some vegetables. The surface is covered with a layer of red oil, which is about two mouthfuls.

Bai Renzong picked up some and ate them, and replied: "A side dish mixed with sesame oil, chili oil, and rattan pepper oil. There are squid, fresh mustard, sweet potato leaves, shredded carrots, thousand sheets, and crushed peanuts. It is a bit oily, but Because of the freshness and hot and sour taste of rattan pepper, it is not greasy to eat. It tastes very fragrant and is a very appetizing side dish."

Then, Luo Qing served the second bowl of food: "Cabbage Tofu Soup."

The soup in front of him was very clear, which reminded Bai Renzong of the boiled cabbage at the state banquet, but that dish took a long time to prepare, and the soup alone had to be boiled for dozens of hours, and the scene only took two hours, right? It is possible to reproduce the dish at the state banquet.

Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful of the soup, took a sip, and exhaled lightly: "Ha...it's a mountain delicacy soup base made from bamboo shoots, Chinese toon, wild onions and bamboo fungus. It has a light taste but is very delicious and sweet. The Chinese cabbage and the soft tofu are soaked in this umami taste. It is very gentle, and I feel that the whole person is healed."

"Dry-roasted pickled fish." Luo Qing put the third dish in front of Bai Renzong.

White-flecked grass carp meat, cut into strips, is soaked in a light brown sauce and topped with sauerkraut.

"Oh? This is a brand new method." Bai Renzong looked at the dish with great interest and sighed, "Although it is pickled fish, it does not have the soup of pickled fish. Instead, the water is collected in the way of braised fish. In the end, I made this dry-roasted fish with pickled cabbage. It can be imagined that after the juice is collected, the taste of this fish must be extra strong..."

Bai Renzong picked up the fish and took a bite, then opened his mouth uncontrollably, with a painful expression: "Ha..."

"It's so spicy!" Bai Renzong roared, and commented with difficulty: "The concentrated sauce...is very spicy! After eating it, my mouth seems to explode! But...it's special...delicious! Exciting!"

Bai Renzong said, and waved to Wang Bei, Wang Bei understood, and quickly brought him a bottle of drink.Bai Renzong still had to try the set meal for four other people, so he didn't dare to drink too much, so he just took a sip of the drink until the spiciness eased a bit.

"The concentrated sauerkraut fish soup is several times more sour and spicy than ordinary sauerkraut, but the amount of salt has been adjusted to make it less salty. But it's really spicy..." Bai Renzong shook his head and said, "I can only take one bite of this dish. Although this dish is very spicy, the sour and salty mix is ​​very good, and the freshness and sweetness of the fish are just right."

Finally, it was finally the turn of the main course. Luo Qing put his duck dish in front of Bai Renzong: "Whole duck stew."

"Whole duck stew..." Bai Renzong looked at the dish in front of him, feeling a little palpitating: the red-black soup was soaked with various ingredients, and at a glance, he could see duck tongue and duck feet , duck heart and duck meat.

In terms of form, it is a bit like the dish "Husband and wife lung slices", but it should not be so simple.

Bai Renzong swallowed nervously: It feels like it will be very spicy...

"Well, if there's something wrong with being spicy, it's considered a work-related injury, right?" Bai Renzong sighed distressedly, picked up a chopstick and tasted the duck meat, then raised his eyebrows: "Huh? It doesn't seem very spicy." ..."

"Because I don't want the spicy taste to overwhelm the taste of the duck itself." Luo Qing explained with a smile, "So, I didn't use such heavy seasoning for this dish, but made it while retaining the taste of the duck itself. Seasoned."

"The oil in this dish is also duck oil..." Bai Renzong said with great interest, "then add rattan pepper, garlic, crushed peanuts, parsley, cinnamon, white cardamom, cooking wine, cumin and other conventional ingredients. Spices for seasoning, but..."

Speaking of this, Bai Renzong frowned: "There is a special fragrance in it, I can't tell what it is. This smell can be said to be the finishing touch."

"The whole duck stew itself gathers all parts of the duck into one dish, and the taste of the duck meat will be very strong. But as the saying goes, meat eaters are smelly, herbivores are smelly, and water eaters are fishy. As a water drinker, the taste of duck is very good. It's very fishy. Gather so many parts of the duck meat, and then collect the juice to this extent, it stands to reason that this kind of dish will definitely be extremely fishy..."

"However, it is precisely because there is such a single ingredient, combined with other spices, that the fishy smell of duck meat is completely suppressed, and it is simply a magical stroke."

After pondering for a while, Bai Renzong replied, "Is it some kind of herbal medicine?"

"That's right, it's a special product from our side called 'Chuanxiong'. This spice has a spicy taste and a strong aroma. It can remove the fishy smell, and it can also enhance the spicy aroma and stimulate the tongue. " Luo Qing explained with a smile.

"Why can't you eat it in the ordinary couple's lung?" Bai Renzong asked puzzled.

"Because this kind of material develops aroma slowly, it cannot be used in cold dishes." Luo Qing explained, "So it is more suitable for cooking methods such as stewing and simmering, and it is basically not made into powder to add Among them, the second flavor in it is Angelica dahurica, and the combination of Chuanxiong and Angelica dahurica can form a special fragrance, which is especially suitable for use in dishes with heavy oil to relieve the greasy feeling."

"Ah, that's how it is... I learned it." Bai Renzong sighed, "The aroma is really great. Even though so much duck meat is put together and duck oil is used, it doesn't taste greasy at all."

"However, it is difficult to control the amount of these two spices." Luo Qing added, "It is not recommended for beginners."

"This combination is really good..." Bai Renzong smiled and applauded, "As expected of a master of Sichuan cuisine in our country, even this kind of Chinese herbal medicine can be used as a spice... This is the accumulation of years of experience."

At this point, Bai Renzong was slightly relieved: Fortunately, there are other capable chefs, so the two "geniuses" Adam and Jamie won't steal all the limelight.

Luo Qing's traditional craftsmanship was comparable to that of Lei Zhengliang who had been here before.

It just so happens that recently the audience has been complaining that there are no particularly skilled domestic chefs, and this episode can satisfy them.

Of course, this package cannot be said to be perfect, there are still some small shortcomings.

As for the specific deficiencies, Bai Renzong planned to wait until the end of the show after tasting the dishes of other chefs.

"Complete." Just when Bai Renzong was a little distracted, Paul Patek put an appetizer in front of Bai Renzong, "Appetizer, small skewers in the backyard."

On the plate, a skewer stands upside down on the plate, looking like an upside-down lollipop.On the skewers are cherry tomatoes, scallions and a small piece of chicken, which is just one bite, and it is indeed an appetizer.

Bai Renzong grabbed the skewers, ate them in one bite, and then laughed: "It feels like it was grilled on the grill, with the aroma of charcoal fire. For a moment, I had a feeling in my mind... the family used it in the backyard. Images of meat grilling on a barbecue grill."

"Ah..." Paul Patek looked moved, but he seemed to be trying his best to suppress the emotion, and served Bai Renzong the second dish, "Garden stew after school."

In front of him was a bowl of milky onion soup, in which some corn and chopped ham could be seen.

Bai Renzong took a sip and smiled happily: "The soup itself is a very mellow onion, corn and ham soup. It has a thick taste and a delicate taste. But it is incredible that there is a special fragrance in it, like grass, wood and fruit. Mixed. It gives people a picture of sitting at their own table, looking at the lawn and fruit trees in the garden outside the window, and eating the stew made by my mother.”

Then, Paul put a bunch of grilled fish in front of Bai Renzong: "Grilled fish at the campfire in the summer camp."

This grilled fish is about two bites, but it is twisted into an "S" shape in a very graphic way and grilled on a branch. It looks like it is placed in anime and some film and television works. Grilled fish over a campfire.

Even in order to imitate the grilled fish on a campfire, the surface of the fish is deliberately partially burnt.

Of course, Bai Renzong couldn't help but have some doubts: Could it really be fish grilled on a campfire?

Bai Renzong grabbed the string of fish and tasted it, and he was relieved: "The fish is made by frying, and the part of the fish skin that looks like it is burnt is actually cooked with olive oil and rosemary. The sauce made. The unevenness adds a little variation to the taste of the fish, and it tastes even more flavorful.”

Finally, Paul brought up a jar: "Treasure in a jar."

At first glance, this glass jar looks like it was stored in the jar after catching cicadas when I was a child. There are branches and a few leaves in it, but at this moment, two pieces of roasted golden duck are strung on the branches.

"This shape is really special..." Bai Renzong said with a smile, "However, the key still depends on the taste."
