I don't really spray people.

Chapter 376 "Tea"

The personnel introduction was only half done, and the smell of gunpowder at the scene was already strong enough to explode.

Of course, this is what Bai Renzong wanted to see.

This is how the show is entertaining.

So he continued: "The fifth contestant comes from Paul Patek, the chef of Wonderland, the No.16 three-star Michelin restaurant in the world."

A slightly fat Caucasian man with a neat goatee came in and shook hands with Bai Renzong immediately: "Have we not seen each other for more than a year? I have been working hard to improve myself during this time, and I hope my chef Artistic ability is worthy of your professionalism."

"You are too polite." Bai Renzong shook hands with him and said with a smile, "The restaurants have already reached No.16 in the world ranking, haven't they? This is a big improvement."

"The sixth contestant, the chef of Lanwafang, Yang Hua. He is also an old friend, so he doesn't need too much introduction, right?" Bai Renzong continued to introduce.

But Yang Hua pushed open the door with a sullen face, and when she saw Bai Renzong, she immediately came forward with a smile and shook hands with him: "Xiaobai, I haven't seen you for a while. Is my daughter Qiqi okay?"

"Eat and sleep all day, you're growing fast." Bai Renzong laughed, knowing that Yang Hua's question was deliberately showing off to Paul Patek how familiar the two of them were.

child?Bai Renzong shook his head and sighed in his heart.

"Ah, Yang!" Paul Patek came forward and warmly greeted Yang Hua, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, how is your restaurant ranked? It must be in the top ten in the world, right? No Or No.17?"

As he said that, Paul Patek's smile suddenly darkened: "Oh, I forgot... After I became No.16, now you are No.18! It's a pity."

Someone really fell for it!Bai Renzong rolled his eyes.

"..." The veins on Yang Hua's forehead twitched, and she had a "kill you" expression on her face, obviously being poked at a sore spot by the other party.

But in fact, Yang Hua did provide a lot of help to Bai Renzong's live broadcast this year, helping him with various cooking teachings, so that his popularity can "linger on".

"Ahem..." Bai Renzong cleared his throat, "Next, is Zhang Guanghan, the head chef from 'Jufengzhuang' in Nanji City, a famous intangible cultural heritage inheritor in our country, and a master of Lu cuisine."

A middle-aged man in his 1.7s with a height of about 50 meters [-] and a medium build opened the door and walked in. He smiled kindly and waved to the audience. He looked like a very approachable old man.

"The last one is Yusheng Jiang Chuan, the chef from 'Mitsuwa', the ninth-ranked restaurant in the world in New York!" Bai Renzong introduced the last person, a thin old man of about 60 years old who was energetic and thin came in.

The old man was like a piece of dry wood, with a feeling of fragility. Bai Renzong was even a little worried about whether he could handle the frying pan for cooking, but the other party's eyes were very bright.

Compared with Zhang Guanghan's plump and restrained, Jiang Chuan Yousheng is more sharp-edged.

The two men shook hands as soon as they entered.

"Let's represent the food culture of the two countries and have friendly exchanges?" Zhang Guanghan smiled kindly.

After listening to the on-site translation, Jiang Chuan Yousheng also bowed politely and said with a smile: "Yes, let those young people play with young people, and we two old people have a good chat." But the other party's eyes changed when he said this, "Use accumulated over the decades."

Zhang Guanghan's squinted eyes also had a frightening gleam: "The food culture I represent is more than decades of accumulation, you have to be careful..."

"Ho ho ho ho." Jiang Chuan Yousheng laughed, and Zhang Guanghan also smiled brightly when he saw this.

But Bai Renzong at the side saw a sense of murderous sight from these two people, and his hairs stood on end: "It's kind of scary, these two people..."

After finally introducing the contestants, Bai Renzong immediately introduced the judges: "Then, apart from me, there are three other old friends who are in charge of the judges in the second season. Welcome to Alan Robbs, Yoshito Sato With Rossini Salerno."

The three judges entered the door separately, and apart from some changes in their clothes, they looked the same as they did a few months ago.

"Then, today's topic is..." Bai Renzong smiled mysteriously, "tea."

As he said that, Bai Renzong explained in detail: "Use 'tea' to make a dish, it can be any dish, dessert, appetizer, main course, side dish, you can. Everyone has an hour and a half, from..."

Bai Renzong looked at the time on his phone: "Start now!"

The chefs at the scene pondered for a while, and then started to act.

Bai Renzong is still secretly complacent at the moment: No matter in Chinese food or Western food, tea is a very rare cooking material. How to make good use of this material is the difficulty of this theme.What would these top chefs in the world do?

While the chefs were preparing, Bai Renzong chatted with the three judges.

"I don't know who you are more optimistic about this time?" Bai Renzong asked with a smile.

"If you ask me, I think Chef Adam must have an advantage." Allen Robs said, crossing his arms. "After all, he has traveled around many countries and seen the culinary culture of those countries. I believe he will be able to make special dishes. Here comes the food."

"Talking about traveling around the world, Chef Jamie has also traveled around the world recently. I am looking forward to his growth." Rossini Salerno smiled while crossing his arms, licking the dog as always.

"I'm looking forward to the performance of the two elders." Sato Yoshito said with a smile, "After all, decades of cooking experience are unmatched by young people."

While chatting here, some of the chefs over there began to complete their own works, and the first one to serve was Yang Hua.

He placed a piece of toast in front of everyone. The toast was covered with thick sauce, and no tea leaves could be seen.

"Please use." Yang Hua said with an elegant smile, "This is matcha foie gras toast."

"Matcha foie gras..." Bai Renzong raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of toast and tasted it.

The bread is made of whole-wheat bread, which has a strong wheat aroma in the mouth, but this wheat aroma is only an auxiliary, the real protagonist is actually the thick, thick sauce on top.

"The sauce is made of matcha and foie gras. In fact, it is similar to the cooking method of mixing foie gras and chocolate. It uses bitterness to relieve the greasyness of foie gras. It's just that the matcha taste The bitter taste is more refreshing than chocolate, and when you eat it, people will think, 'ah, it turns out that matcha is better with foie gras'." Bai Renzong explained.

"Indeed, the bitterness of matcha is lighter and not as thick as chocolate. It is more suitable to match with foie gras and will not feel greasy." Allen Robbs nodded with satisfaction, "Compared to toast, the sauce on it That's the main character."

At this time, Bai Renzong couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Oh... this is Huigan!"

Immediately, all the judges showed a hint of joy on their faces: "This taste...is really incredible!" "Indeed, it's wonderful!" "This is really the ultimate enjoyment!"

Bai Renzong explained: "Then, the difference between tea and chocolate is that after the bitterness of tea is over, there will be sweetness in the mouth. This is because the tea polyphenols in tea combine with protein to form a thin film, which causes the muscles in the mouth to contract. , thus forming a sense of astringency, and when the film is broken, the oral muscles recover, thus producing this sweet feeling.”

"As for this toast, the first bite is the bitterness of the tea leaves, the deliciousness of the foie gras, and the aroma of the two ingredients lingering in the mouth. But after the sweetness of the tea leaves, you can go further Taste the richer sweetness in it. That sweetness comes from... pumpkin!" Bai Renzong couldn't help admiring, "Oh, it's so wonderful that this gentle and healing sweetness is magnified!"

"It feels a bit like using artichokes, only more subtly." Rossini Salerno mused, resting his chin.

"As expected of Chef Yang Hua, the use of this kind of sauce is amazing." Yoshito Sato sighed, "A man who can make the sauce the protagonist...is amazing."

"Oh, this..." Bai Renzong rubbed his chin and smiled, "It feels like it will put a lot of pressure on everyone behind."

Bai Renzong didn't expect such an amazing tea dish from the very beginning, but taking this dish as the first dish to appear puts a lot of pressure on the people behind.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this theme is indeed very advantageous for Yang Hua.Because tea is difficult to be the main material after all, it is usually made into sauce.As for the use of sauce, even among famous chefs all over the world, Yang Hua is one of the best.

However, his worries are obviously unnecessary, after all, the chefs here are all top in the world.

The second person who served his own food was Adam Lucas.

"Please use it." Adam smiled confidently, and put his cooking in front of everyone.

This is a dish that looks like a salad. If you look closely, you can see the shadow of tea leaves in it, but the color is a bit wrong.

"Anyway, let's try it first." Bai Renzong said, scooped up a spoonful and took a sip.

At that time, all kinds of tastes such as sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty exploded in the mouth.

"This tea is marinated in a way similar to kimchi, with a hint of bitterness and fragrance in the sweet and sour, and then mixed with peanuts, minced garlic, coconut meat, shrimp, sesame, and seasonings such as lemon juice, olive oil, and pepper. " Bai Renzong explained, "The taste is extremely rich in layers, and all kinds of tastes of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty exploded in my mouth in an instant, which caught me by surprise!"

"And the taste is also very rich..." Alan Robbs praised, "I think the most powerful thing about this dish is the 'just right'. Because if it is not well grasped, its taste layering will change. It's very messy. It's Chef Adam who can make such a messy taste so layered..."

"I improved this from a Burmese street snack." Adam said with a smile, "There is a little secret in it."
