Chapter 768 The Violent Collision of Two Standards

After this dish was served, the biggest reason why Adolf and Leon felt fear was that there were red peppers in the dish.

And the amount seems to be quite a lot!

Obviously, this is a spicy dish. How could such a dish appear among the dishes in the premium set menu?
Could it be that the wrong dish was served?

The first reaction of the two people was to suspect that the waiter had served it wrong. It might have been from the other two packages, but how could it appear in the top package?

All the dishes served before are so "regular". They are very consistent with Michelin standards in every aspect. They are light in taste, exquisite in style, and rich in nutrients.

But what about this dish?
Not only does it have chilli, but it also seems to have peanuts and shallots in it?

Isn't this onion a green onion?

If it were green onions, wouldn't that make things worse?Our reviewers
When the two of them thought of this, they suddenly shuddered, and their hearts felt a little cold.

The thing he had been worried about finally broke out, and a chill inevitably hit him. Adolf now wanted to strangle this guy Lyon to death.

"Wow, that's good. It tastes really good. It's worthy of being a state banquet dish!"

"Oh my God, is this the real taste? It seems like nothing I've tasted before is authentic!"

"No wonder it can be included in the state banquet dishes. As far as the taste is concerned, it is simply an endless aftertaste!"

"I can't believe that this dish tastes like this. An ordinary dish can actually make me eat chili peppers, and it's not spicy at all. I really love it!"

"It's delicious, it's delicious, but it's a pity that there's a little less meat. I counted and there are only 3 pieces of meat in total. Boss Chu, can't you put in a little more?"

A large number of positive comments came one after another, which stopped Adolf's voice from questioning. Although he couldn't understand what everyone was talking about, the surprised expressions could not be hidden from his eyes.

"What are they talking about?"

Adolf temporarily buried the greatest anger in his heart, knowing that it was not a good time to settle accounts with Leon, and the most important thing was to understand what happened first.

“They said it was delicious and the dish wasn’t spicy!”

Leon himself was a little confused. Only then did he remember what Mary said before. What should he do if spicy dishes appear?
This sentence is like a sword of Damocles hanging above his head, and it feels like it can tear him into pieces in minutes.

Did he personally drag Michelin into the abyss?
"not spicy?
good to eat?

You eat the chili for me first and then tell me whether it's spicy or not! "

Adolf seemed very angry. At this time, he actually told himself that the food was not spicy?
What's with the red peppers on top?
“Eat, eat chili?

Really eat it? "

Leon looked at the chili peppers on the plate, felt cruel, picked them up with a fork, threw them into his mouth, took a few bites and then quickly swallowed them.

"Huh~? It's true. It's not very spicy. The spiciness is within an acceptable range. And this taste?"

Leon was about to start drinking water guzzlingly, but suddenly he realized that the spiciness was really just a little bit, and the taste seemed to have a hint of sweetness in the sourness.

This tastes amazing!

Leon immediately picked up a piece of meat with a fork, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

The meat is very tender, and it has already been tasted. This is chicken, and the chicken skin is slightly chewy, but the key is that the spicy, salty, sour and sweet taste makes people want to stop.

Especially the sweet and sour taste is simply irresistible!

You must know that for European tastes, the sweet and sour taste is everyone's favorite and most popular.

However, many chefs generally do not control the sweet and sour taste very well, either it is too sour or too sweet, and it seems that this is the first time I have encountered such a balanced state.

But there was another smell with a hint of "burnt smell" that made Leon feel quite conflicted!
I really want to say I like this smell, but I can't seem to say it. But if I say it's too disgusting, it doesn't seem to be that disgusting.

But this smell mixed in with it always makes people feel that there is an indescribable weirdness.

The same goes for Adolf, who has the same confusion as Leon!

Originally, the sweet and sour taste is very good. If it didn't have the "burnt" taste, then this dish could definitely give full marks.

And it’s a perfect score, with no flaws at all.

but!

Just because this burnt smell makes people feel like there is a thorn stuck in their hearts, it always carries a trace of regret.

What's going on with this dish?
Why is it so special?
Adolf looked at the status of Black Pearl's side. It seemed that they were very satisfied with the dish, and they nodded frequently. It seemed that they were not confused like him!

The same seems to be true for the guests. Some guests even used the bottom of their spoons to dip little by little into the juice left on the plate after finishing their meal. They seemed to particularly like the taste.

If it wasn't for the sake of maintaining grace, Adolf believed that they would just lick the dinner plate, they definitely would!
The taste of this juice is indeed very good, and the thickening is very good, not light nor heavy, just enough to hang on the meat and other ingredients well.

This way, the most important flavor of the dish can be kept in your memory when you taste it.

The peanuts are very crispy, and after adding the juice, the texture and taste are also very good!
By the way, the taste of this chili seems to be a bit bland, but there is just a hint of spiciness, which I can accept.

So from this point of view, it seems that this dish is not deliberately aimed at Michelin, it should be a very unique dish!
After making this judgment, Adolf's nervousness seemed to relax a little, and he thought to himself that he was overthinking?

Adolf had a lot to think about, so he tasted it very slowly. It wasn't until Black Pearl started commenting that he tasted the peanuts.

As for the ingredient that looked like green onions, his attention was already drawn to it before he had a chance to try it.

So he didn't see the helpless behavior of his team members shaking their heads after tasting the ingredients suspected of being green onions.

What I didn't even notice was that some team members put all the chili peppers on the dinner plate aside with contempt, and they also looked very helpless.
“This is a Sichuan cuisine dish for state banquets. Although we can usually see this dish in many restaurants, it is impossible to truly make it taste like a state banquet.

But I was lucky enough to taste it today. The Kung Pao Chicken at the state banquet has this taste, no other!

There are only these ingredients in this dish. If you can see some ingredients like carrots and cucumbers, then congratulations, you have tasted dark cuisine."

Si Yang was very thin, but his voice was very rich, and he directly pointed out the extraordinaryness of this dish.

The key word is “state banquet dishes”!
There are very strict requirements for dishes that can be included in the state banquet, but this dish that looks like it uses ordinary ingredients is actually not ordinary. The key lies in the combination of taste.

Spicy lychee flavor!
A very classic flavor type in Sichuan cuisine, a dish with a strong historical flavor.

When he heard that it was a dish for the state banquet, Adolf was instantly startled. He looked at the dish in front of him again and sighed secretly in his heart.

State dinner?
Is the chef so great?

Just as Adolf continued to "meditate", he suddenly heard the name of a fruit-lychee!
After the translator translated the spicy lychee flavor, Adolf suddenly understood and immediately forked one of the two remaining pieces of chicken on the plate into his mouth.

Hmm~!It sure smelled of lychee, and my goodness, it was amazing!

Just when Adolf was still debating whether to destroy the remaining piece of chicken, he suddenly heard the word green onion!
Yes, that’s green onions, not leeks!
Green onions?

Leek?

Then he heard the sound of Black Pearl starting to score. Adolf's eyes retracted from the white green onions, and then he heard the judges on his side starting to score.

Adolf instantly yelled a national curse, and when he was about to stop him, it was already too late.
The Black Pearl side received a perfect score, and each judge gave it 10 points. Then the hall burst into applause. As for the Michelin side, the scores also came out one after another, but the scene gradually became quiet.
"what happened?"

"Are my eyes dazzled?"

"This score?"

"Did you make a mistake?"

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble? Is this a state banquet dish?"

"Although I didn't taste what it was, the comments from Black Pearl were spot on. The perfect score is unquestionable. What are these foreigners doing?"

Adolf's face instantly turned pale when he saw the scores displayed on the big screen.

7 points!
8 points!
7 points!
9 points!
Leon was also shocked. He and Adolf were the only ones who hadn't given a score yet. None of the other eight reviewers had given a perfect score. Something had really happened!

And something big happened!

Regarding the matter that Mary emphasized before, she had communicated with Adolf after he arrived, but after being unable to see Chu Yunfeng, she assured him that there would be no problem.

Because judging from the situation during the past two days, Mary's worries are just unfounded.

But when something like this happened, Leon's back was drenched in sweat, especially when he saw the scores scored by the rest of the judges, he instantly felt that he was finished.

Adolf was also confused. He also felt his head buzzing. At this moment, he didn't know how to deal with this matter.

The score has been awarded and it is impossible to recover it.

At this time, the microphone has been handed to Milu's hand, and his expression seems to be a little angry?
"I feel so disappointed with this dish. I have to admit that this taste is the most unique among all the delicacies I have tasted.

What I like most about it is the sweet and sour taste. What is incredible to me is that it still has the taste of lychee, but I searched the whole plate and couldn't find lychee.

Maybe the chef added some lychee juice?

But what I can’t stand the most is that there is chili pepper in this dish?

If it didn't have this spiciness, it wouldn't be deducted three points. I would definitely give it a full score, absolutely! "

Milu's last sentence was expressed in a very regretful tone. He thought that his exquisite comment would win applause, but after the translation was finished, he was instantly stunned!
The guests at the scene booed, and some even whistled and made disdainful sounds.

what happened?
This is a high-end restaurant, why is it like eating at a food stall?
Did they understand what they meant? That spiciness should not exist in this dish at all!
Joey was also very excited, and he seemed to have a different understanding of this dish!

After seeing that Milu seemed to be questioned, he immediately grabbed the microphone and felt very unhappy!
You must know that we are the most professional reviewers. We will evaluate every dish with our most professional vision and knowledge, without any personal feelings involved.

And I also felt that Milu's evaluation was very pertinent, but he ignored a more important point. That was because he was troubled by the smell, but he must emphasize it.

Looking at the remaining green onions on Milu's plate, Joey understood that he must have forgotten to taste it, but it didn't matter, he tasted a piece, so let him make up for this shortcoming!

"As for the taste issue, my colleague has just made it very clear that the chili pepper should not be added, which will greatly destroy the exquisite taste of this dish.

And what I want to emphasize is another problem, which is also the main reason why I scored 7 points, and that is the onion problem!
As we all know, this is green onion. It not only has a strong taste and gives people an uncomfortable experience, but the most important thing is that you will have bad breath after eating it!

tone!

This is a very serious problem. You must know that according to our standards, such a problem can be given zero points.

Because do you know how much trouble your breath can cause?
Could it cause you to lose a very important opportunity, such as an interview?Like an order?
Think about it, when your interviewer or client hates you because of your tone, you will pay for the opportunity you inadvertently lost!
Why not use the leeks we often eat in France instead?
Leeks don't have the pungent taste of green onions, and they all look similar, so why not use them?
What a failure. This could have completely avoided these shortcomings. Just remove the peppers and replace them with leeks. Everything can be solved perfectly. Doesn’t the chef not know about leeks? "

Joey's last words deepened the resentment in his heart and filled him with his deepest regret.

He thought he could arouse everyone's resonance and let everyone see his professional vision, but he didn't expect the response he got to make him completely angry.

ridicule!

Ruthless contempt!
This was the unanimous response from all the diners in the hall, which caught him off guard!

What's happening here?
who am I?
Where am i?

Joey was a little confused.
Adolf immediately realized that two different standard ideologies began to collide strongly, and a situation began to get out of hand.

He quickly stood up and took the phone, and then prepared to make amends. He could not let the situation continue to fester.

At this time, the Internet also started to argue, and they were quarreling around several issues.

Should I add chili pepper?
What the hell is a leek?

Are there lychees in this dish?

The truth cannot be argued, but we reach the same destination by different paths!
When Adolf just picked up the phone, an introduction to the dish appeared on the big screen, which immediately made the matter come to a conclusion.
