Chapter 262: Sample of Wangchuan Map

Wangchuantu Xiaoyang is a large-scale three-dimensional landscape cold dish created by the famous chef Fan Zheng during the Five Dynasties. It is known as the pinnacle of cold dishes and the originator of platters. It is a true work of art in the history of cooking!
Fan Zheng's inspiration came from Wang Wei's famous work "Wangchuan Tu".

Wang Wei used his brush to sketch on paper the twenty scenes of Wangchuan where he lived in his later years, describing all the mountains and rivers in the world.

Fan Zheng used a kitchen knife to carve vegetables, fruits and melons into scenes, with each vessel representing a scene, clustered together to form mountains and rivers.

It can be said that "there are mountains and rivers on the dishes, and poetry on the plate."

However, although this Wangchuan Tu sample is very famous, thousands of years have passed since the Five Dynasties, and this pinnacle work of art has long been lost in the long river of time.

Although many organizations later claimed to have reproduced the Wangchuantu sample, and the models were exhibited in museums, when people looked at the models, they always felt that something was missing.

It is beautiful, but not stunning.

So people attribute this to the fact that technology has made cooking more and more advanced, and the famous dishes that were highly touted in the past may not necessarily beat modern dishes that have better seasoning and more palatable ingredients.

Almost everyone thinks so.

Until now, Nanzhi has used her hands to break down everyone's cognition bit by bit and told them——

The ancestors are the ancestors, and the peak is the peak.

because……

The Wangchuantu sample made by Nanzhi is completely different from the model in the museum!
The ingredients were piled up layer by layer, quickly forming a series of landscapes, just as it is recorded in the Lantian County Chronicles: "The mountains and valleys are dense, the clouds and water are flying, the forests are lush and bamboo, the rocks and trees are strange, the gardens and pavilions are all exquisite."

In that white porcelain plate, there are mountains surrounding it, trees shading it, pavilions and terraces, clouds and water flowing freely, creating a leisurely artistic conception that is a visual enjoyment beyond imagination!

Moreover, just like the famous nun chef thousands of years ago, each porcelain plate is a scene in itself, which can be separated or combined. There are a total of twenty porcelain plates and twenty scenes, which are staggered in height and complement each other. It is truly wonderful!

The children kept exclaiming in amazement!
Some people simply stretch their necks as far as they can, or even stand up to look!
"Wow! So beautiful!"

“Is this a work of art?”

"Is this edible?"

“I can’t bear to eat it!”

The audience in the live broadcast room was also going crazy, with comments coming in waves like a tide:

[I was slacking off and screamed in the office! ]

[Is this really something that exists in reality? It makes my eyes pop! ]

[Compared to what Nanzhi did, the replica of Wangchuan Tu in the museum is simply terrible! ]

[I think so too! If the Wangchuan map made by Fan Zheng in history is authentic, it must look like this! ]

[Suddenly, I feel a surge of national pride. Kaiseki cuisine and Japanese beauty are all out of the question! Our ancestors’ careful selection is the best! ]

[I feel like if it’s this beautiful, it doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not. 】

[Would you be willing to eat this kind of artwork? 】

【I want to remind everyone that Nanzhi has not yet ended. 】

……

Although there were quite a few sour comments in the comments, who complained jealously that "looking good doesn't mean it tastes good", they were scolded back by other netizens.

But overall, the atmosphere of the barrage was relatively harmonious, and even many silent people were blown away.

Some people even shared the live link so that everyone can:

【Go and see the Hand of God! 】

At the risk of being beaten up, this gimmicky title attracted a lot of attention.

However, in the end, no one came back to question the poster, and instead praised the poster for a good job, because the Wangchuan Tu sample made by Nanzhi was truly a visual feast.

When the feast finally came to an end, Nanzhi put the long-cooked broth into a thick ceramic pot, held it in her arms, tilted the mouth of the pot, and the boiling broth fell like a waterfall from the sky...

Someone stood up on the spot, panicking:
"what!"

“The building is going to collapse!”

"I haven't seen enough!"

"..."

Even the program crew members who were least supposed to speak exclaimed in regret.

They all thought that the pavilions and towers built by Nanzhi would not be able to withstand the impact of the soup and would collapse instantly like a mountain torrent.

As a result, those seemingly fragile fruits and vegetables stood firmly and remained motionless despite the spilling of the broth.

The broth flows through the gaps like rainwater, gathering at the bottom of the plate, with wisps of hot mist rising up, which is magnificent.

In an instant, these dishes seemed to be infused with souls, instantly transforming from cold ingredients into vivid and lively beautiful scenes.

This is the real finishing touch.

[??? Am I seeing things? These vegetables and fruits are not falling over? ]

[Could it be that Nanzhi secretly used glue...]

[Are you stupid? These are edible vegetables! ]

[I understand! You see, Nanzhi just built it casually, but in fact, it all conforms to architectural mechanics! If that's the case, Nanzhi must know a lot about garden architecture! ]

[Does it seem like you need to have architect skills to be a chef these days? Is that really true? ]

[Is this a bit exaggerated? ]

[Or can you give me a more reasonable explanation? ]

……

No matter how outrageous the speculation is, it is a proven fact in Nanzhi!
Nanzhi held the clay pot, and her cold eyes finally revealed a satisfied smile.

Her voice, as clear as spring water, spread across the entire venue:

"The first cold dish is a sample of Wangchuan painting. Please enjoy it."

Everyone:? ? ?
It’s such a big deal, and you tell me that this is the first one?
Could it be that there will be a second and third one later?
But they didn't have time to think about it.

The aroma emitted by the giant three-dimensional cold dishes is wafting around, proving that they are not just beautiful.

All the ingredients have been seasoned by Nanzhi, so they are not completely tasteless. In addition, the aroma of all the ingredients is brought out by the top-quality broth that has been simmered for a full 12 hours.

Moreover, these aromas are not randomly put together, but instead blend into a wonderful fragrance, giving a feeling of complementing each other.

This shows that Nanzhi not only considers the appearance of the ingredients he chooses, but also the taste.

However, when it really came time to taste the food, no one was willing to start.

Fu Chao and his friends followed Nanzhi's instructions and placed a large dining table in front of the cooking table in advance. A huge three-dimensional cold dish stood on the table, and the children looked up at it like a small mountain.

The children held their bowls and chopsticks in their hands, not daring to move. They felt it would be a pity to eat such a beautiful sight.

Seeing this, Nanzhi had no choice but to take a step forward:
"Since they are food, they are made to be eaten by humans. This is the meaning of their existence."

After hearing this, the children finally raised their chopsticks...
