I don't really spray people.

Chapter 447 Innovation
"So, this is Polenta..." Bai Renzong cut off a small piece and said to himself with great interest.

Unlike eggs Benedict, polenta is a traditional Italian delicacy, but it is not exactly the same. It is obviously a special recipe developed by Cai Jia himself.

After feeling the wonderful aroma, Bai Renzong ate the polenta.

The bottom is cornmeal stewed with milk. The outer layer is slightly crispy, but the inside is still mushy and has a sticky texture.The soft-boiled egg yolk on top is poured over this layer of tortillas, further adding to its flavor.

However, all of these are just supporting roles, in fact, they are all just to pave the way for the protagonist to appear on the stage.

The truffle is the real protagonist of this dish.Although the truffle has been processed and the aroma is weakened, Bai Renzong tasted the taste of the truffle itself for the first time.Whether it is eggs or tortillas are actually auxiliary, the key to this recipe is the top layer of truffles soaked in sauce.

"It turns out that black truffle has this kind of taste..." Bai Renzong frowned, "After being soaked in olive oil, its taste becomes a little moist, and it tastes like... a thick cardboard that has been ground after being wet. That's why It needs to be nourished by the corn paste and soft-boiled eggs below, and its taste...is hard to describe.”

Bai Renzong thought about it carefully: "It's a bit astringent, slightly sweet, and has a strong mushroom-like smell, which is a bit like the smell of lawn. Have you ever eaten shiitake mushrooms? Its taste is similar to shiitake mushrooms, but the aroma is stronger. Intense. In fact, the scent is more intoxicating than the taste."

"I only have one word for this dish." Carl Brando nodded vigorously, "Delicious."

"It's really amazing..." Emma Berry frowned. "It is true that everyone likes to use raw black truffles, but it is an indisputable fact that the smell of black truffles is too strong. Through simple cooking, it can reach a just right middle." point……"

Speaking of this, Emma Berry turned to Cai Jia: "I must say, this really requires considerable craftsmanship. Even if it is not well controlled, the truffle will ruin the whole work... This girl is very good at using spices and ingredients. It's really ingenious."

After the tasting, the next step is the scoring session.

The subject of truffles is quite difficult, but every chef on the scene performed very well.

Paul Patek's roasted leg of lamb with black truffle, from sight, hearing, smell, touch to taste, received a high score of 98/97/98/98.

Jamie Tira's black pudding, which perfectly combines the aroma of pig blood, offal and black truffle, scored 96/95/97/98.

Adam's smoked aged venison, which combines the aged venison with the aroma of truffles in a very good way, scored 97/96/99/98.

Nakamura Jiro's takoyaki, which showcases traditional Japanese takoyaki in the form of French cuisine, and cleverly combined it with truffles, got a score of 96/95/97/98.

Chen Jianfeng's brain flower with garlic truffle showed the charm of "brain flower" in a new form, a unique ingredient that only appears in Chinese cuisine, and got a score of 98/95/97/98.

Yang Hua's stewed rabbit meat, which uses the ingenious combination of rabbit meat and lotus root powder to highlight the aroma of truffles, even misled Bai Renzong's taste, and won a score of 98/99/95/96.

Finally, there are two heroines. Han Jiayi used broomcorn noodles as a supporting role and vegetables as a carrier to give full play to the specialty of black truffle, and scored high scores of 99/98/99/96.

And Cai Jia used her unique processing method to show the charm of truffles, and made this polenta completely with truffles as the main character. Her score is 99/99/100/96.

"Hey? Isn't this a little unfair?" Facing his own score, Adam expressed a little dissatisfaction, "I thought I would get four 100-point evaluations! Why?"

"It's nothing unfair." Bai Renzong replied, "There is no doubt that your smoked and aged venison is a very good dish. Whether it is creativity, cooking technique or taste, it is the most complete dish on the spot. Only Only one thing..."

"Your main character is venison, not truffle." Emma Berry added, "Compared to truffle, venison has a strong sense of presence, it is ripe and smoked, and the delicacy of venison itself dominates. , and the truffle has become a foil instead, which I don’t think fits the theme of this time.”

"That's right." Carl Brando nodded, "As for these two girls, black truffles are the absolute protagonists in their dishes, especially this girl with short hair. His use of black truffles is the best I've ever seen. Best chef ever."

"Young people are too eager to express their mentality, and they will make mistakes." Yamamoto Yuto said with a smile, shaking the wine in the glass, "I still can't hold my breath."

Adam frowned slightly, crossed his arms and muttered something unconvinced, but still accepted the result.

In the final score, everyone's scores were very close. Everyone got an average score of 95 or more, but Cai Jia's "Black Truffle Polenta" got the highest score.

"Congratulations." Bai Renzong stretched out his hand to Cai Jia and smiled, "This is the first time you won No.1, right? How do you feel?"

"Actually, it's not bad." Cai Jia pursed her lips and smiled, "I use truffles a lot, and this is my home field. I should get No.1, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

"Then, as your reward for getting No.1..." Bai Renzong smiled mysteriously, "Unfortunately, I have to tell you that you can't choose the theme of the next issue in advance, because the next issue will be a special program .”

Bai Renzong turned to the camera and said with a smile: "I can see some people complaining in the barrage every time, and we can't eat these delicacies. What's the use of watching the show here? Hey, now I am very happy to announce that everyone finally Here's a chance to taste it."

Speaking of this, Bai Renzong cleared his throat and said proudly: "Next Saturday night, Maowu platform will book a restaurant. And the ones who are in charge of cooking in the back kitchen are, yes, the eight chefs on site. Each Chefs can design a dish based on the materials on site, and everyone can register with their account on the cat house platform, and then enter the restaurant for free tasting.”

Immediately, Bai Renzong turned to the chefs on the scene: "The restaurant operates from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, and every guest who comes to taste the dishes will have a vote, and you can vote for your 'favorite'. Chef'. After the show ends, the chef with the highest number of votes will be the winner. That’s right, it’s not the judges, but the audience that decides the winner next time.”

After a pause, Bai Renzong added: "Of course, the four of us judges will also be there to taste everyone's dishes in person, and then cast our votes as judges. But we, like the audience, only represent one vote."

This news immediately exploded the live broadcast room: "Sounds very interesting!" "Is it free? Can I refill the meal unlimitedly? If I can, I will go hungry for three days!" "The cat house platform has really spent a lot of money this time! Conscience! "

In fact, eight chefs can entertain at most more than 1000 guests in five hours a night. Counting the cost of materials and contracting the restaurant, the total may only cost hundreds of thousands, but this program can create Tens of millions of income.

The cat house doesn't feel sorry for this little expense at all, and it can't be called "spending money".

However, there are also some bullet screens that sing the opposite tune: "Can I afford the food? I can't afford the travel expenses, okay?" "You really can't afford the food. To tell you the truth, these chefs are always Each package is more than [-]."

Taking advantage of the barrage discussion, Bai Renzong turned to Cai Jia: "So, I can't let you choose a theme, but as the winner of this issue, you will still be rewarded. I will let the program team Tell you the types of ingredients that will appear on the scene three days in advance, so that you can prepare your own dishes three days more than other chefs. To be fair, I don’t know exactly what ingredients are there.”

After finishing speaking, Bai Renzong clapped his hands happily: "Okay! So, this is the end of the third episode of Ode to Food and Joy. See you at the same time next week, shall we?"

The filming of the show ended smoothly, and after a brief interview with the chefs, Bai Renzong left with Han Jiayi.Both the audience and the chef are very much looking forward to the next episode of the show, so that this topic quickly became a hot search.

At the same time, this program even brought Beichang City into the peak tourist season. Many viewers simply came to a three-day tour package for Beichang City in order to join in the excitement. The train tickets were all robbed, and the people in the travel agency, the airport and the train station were all confused and couldn't figure out what happened.

And when they figured out the source of this inexplicable tourist enthusiasm, the Tourism Bureau of Beichang City specially liked the cat house platform and Bai Renzong on Weibo, and encouraged them to hold more similar special programs in the future. Help with sponsorship.

With the support of the ZF and the Tourism Bureau, the senior management of the Maowu platform smiled crookedly.

While "Ode to Food and Joy" is in full swing, on the other hand, station D also launched the promotion for the fourth season of "Food Match".

But judging from the response to the promotional video, the result does not seem to be very good.The click-through rate is not high, and the comments left by everyone are mostly questionable.

Because too much black material was released in the third season, the reputation of this show has plummeted, so that there are not many fans left.

And station D didn’t reflect at all, and planned to launch the fourth season in such a short period of time, and the level of chefs participating in the fourth season was lower than that of the third season, but they were all handsome men and women, and the idea of ​​eating bad money was obvious , which also made the audience even more pessimistic about the fourth season.

On the other hand, Bai Renzong's "Ode to Food and Joy" has become more and more popular because of the new content of the program. Now it has not only driven up the rate of take-out ordering across the country, but has even increased the tourism popularity of Beichang City.

Two days after the show was broadcast, the Maowu platform sent someone to contact Bai Renzong, preparing to "spend blood".
