Chapter 178 Lost?

"It's your turn." Ren Baoe said to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang nodded and presented his dishes.

Jiangyang's dishes are not served on plates, but in large teacups.

Counting carefully, there are six teacups in total, and there are five judges in total, including Zhuang Li.In other words, there are four foreign chefs in total.

Each cup was covered with a lid, so nothing inside could be seen.

"What kind of dish is this? Is it a fish dish?" Zhuang Li asked with a frown.

"Uncover... don't you know?" Jiang Yang looked at her with a smile and said.

Zhuang Li choked for a moment, and immediately stopped talking.She has gone too far this time, so she doesn't want to say anything more about this matter.

What she did today was already a loss of face.But it's about her apprentice herself, and she doesn't care much.

Although Jiang Yang said he wanted to agree to one thing, who knows what he would say?If it was too much, with Ren Bao'e's character, maybe she would grit her teeth and agree.

She doesn't allow such a thing to happen, even if it means losing her face as a chef.

Looking at the dishes in front of her, Zhuang Li's thoughts kept flickering.

In the end, she still lifted the lid, and at the same time, the other four chefs also lifted the lid at the same time.

"This... this is..." Zhuang Li looked at the dishes fully exposed in front of her eyes, and said in surprise.

Inside the large teacup is a blooming flower.To be precise, it should be a flower carved from fish.

In the teacup, apart from the flowers of the fish, there is only water-like soup.The flower of the fish meat is in the soup, just like a real flower.

Zhuang Li was really shocked by the dishes in front of her. She never thought that Jiang Yang would turn the fish into a flower.Having worked with fish for many years, she knows how difficult it is to carve the fish into the shape of a flower and ensure that it blooms in the soup without breaking.This requires very solid knife skills to complete, and it also requires a particularly steady hand, otherwise it will be destroyed if you are not careful.

But Zhuang Li quickly calmed down. After all, the dishes are still talking about the taste. No matter how amazing the appearance is, it is just superficial.

Judging by the lightness of the soup, it probably won't taste very good.

Although Jiang Yang can make high-grade clear soup dishes like boiled cabbage, the soup of boiled cabbage is not suitable for cooking fish. Such a rich soup will cover up the delicious taste of the fish itself.Zhuang Li is also well aware of this.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Li quietly felt relieved.The fish in sour soup cooked by Bao'e is no less than her own, and even has some innovations.If he loses again in such a situation, it is God's will.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Li gently picked up the fish with chopsticks, which was different from what she imagined.She thought that the fish meat would break as soon as it was pinched, after all, the petals of the flowers cut from fish meat are very thin.This kind of fish meat may break if you just force it quietly.

Of course, Zhuang Li didn't clip the petals separately, she clipped the flowers cut from the whole fish.

From this point alone, Zhuang Li could see Jiang Yang's mastery of the heat.To achieve this level, if there is a slight difference in the mastery of the heat, such an effect cannot be achieved.

Putting the fish into her mouth, Zhuang Li chewed carefully.

Suddenly, her tongue was instantly conquered by the fresh and tender texture and delicious taste of the fish.

The fish meat itself has an excellent taste, and when carved into flowers, the fish meat is very tasty.The flesh of the pike fish has no small fish bones, so you don't have to worry about getting stuck. It makes people feel very refreshing to eat, and there is an urge to eat it all the time.

The taste of the soup is very special, the deliciousness of fish bones and the deliciousness of fungi blend together, one comes from the water, and the other comes from the mountains.Two different delicacies, after colliding with each other, produce a unique taste.

The perfect combination of fish and soup gives birth to a taste that is completely different from the usual fish.The fish cooked in such mushroom soup should be very fishy according to the theory, but this dish does not have the fishy smell at all.What's even more amazing is that while removing the fishy smell, the delicious taste of the fish itself is not destroyed.

Zhuang Li just tasted it and knew that this dish was amazing.Compared with this, Ren Bao'e's dishes are much inferior.

It's not that there is a big difference in taste. Jiangyang's dishes are more delicious, but the taste is limited.However, all aspects of the dishes are better than Ren Bao'e's sour soup fish, whether it is color, aroma or creativity, they are much better.

Although the taste of a dish is the king after all, when the taste of two dishes is not much different, the comparison of color and aroma is particularly important.

Zhuang Li put down her chopsticks, and she was particularly conflicted. On the one hand, she didn't want Ren Bao'e to lose, but on the other hand, she had to admit that Jiangyang's dishes were indeed better.

If Ren Bao'e's taste is better than Jiang Yang's, then she can forcefully use the reason that taste is king to support Ren Bao'e.Even if the taste is slightly inferior, but if the color and aroma of Ren Bao'e's dishes are better, Zhuang Li can make a comprehensive evaluation to support Ren Bao'e.

But the problem now is that Ren Bao'e is inferior to Jiang Yang's dishes in all aspects.

At this time, several senior chefs also put down their chopsticks, and one of the chefs said: "The creativity of the dishes is amazing. The fresh and tender taste of the fish and its own delicious taste are perfectly combined with the mushroom soup. After eating, people can't stop. .”

"Fish carving requires a very high level of skill in the chef's knife skills. Even many chefs of the older generation can hardly do this. The fish meat is not scattered, which requires a lot of heat. These two points alone It can be called amazing." Another veteran chef commented.

"The combination of fish meat and mushroom soup is very special. A few common ingredients make people feel like a high-end clear soup dish. It is indeed a chef who can cook boiled cabbage." Another veteran chef also commented.

Only Zhuang Li and the chef surnamed Li remained silent. Zhuang Li's eyes kept changing, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a long time, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, and looked at Chef Yu Li.The latter understood what he meant, and then nodded slightly.When Zhuang Li saw it, she seemed to let go of something.

She said in a deep voice: "Jiangyang's dishes are amazing and taste very good. Personally, I prefer Ren Bao'e's fish in sour soup. But I am her master, so I won't participate in the scoring. Uncle Li, you can rate it." .”

Chef Li nodded and looked at each other with the other three chefs.Said: "Then... Everyone, let's start scoring!"

The three old chefs understood what the chef surnamed Li meant. They looked at Zhuang Li, then at Jiang Yang, and then sighed secretly.

Soon, the score was given out by itself.

Zhuang Li announced: "For Ren Bao'e's dishes, fish in sour soup scored 9.2, 9.0, 9.0, 9.0, totaling 36.2 points."

Then it was Jiang Yang's turn to score, and Zhuang Li announced: "Jiang Yang's food scores are 9.0, 9.0, 9.0, 9.0, totaling 36.0 points."

Jiang Yang's heart sank when he saw his score. Could it be that he lost?

Zhuang Li said: "Finally, I declare that the winner of this competition is Ren..."

"Master!" Ren Bao'e interrupted Zhuang Li's words, and looked straight at Zhuang Li.
