Food That Doesn't Glow is Not Good Food

"En, yes." Xie Yunfei did not reject Qian Kubotao, just like other contestants in the venue, he has [-]% confidence in his cooking, and he is not afraid of being tested by more people at all, so he hesitated Finally, he added an extra sentence, "I will make all the ingredients I have at hand, no matter how many you want to eat, there is no problem."

Hearing the young man's remarks, Akane Kubomomo understood that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but she didn't intend to explain, just nodded.

Seeing Qian Kubotao turned and left, Xie Yunfei didn't talk nonsense. He took the mixture of egg liquid and milk that had been processed earlier, poured it into a large cylindrical cup, and put it on the steamer again.

Xie Yunfei was making pudding, or in other words, a kind of custard with milk. Not to mention paying attention to Xie Yunfei all the time, Xiaoyun, who was sullen for some reason at this time, did not mention comforting Xiaoyun, but his face Feifei, who was still a little depressed, was also reflected by the gourmets from the three groups of judges in area a.

But because of this, the expressions on the faces of several people became more and more strange.

Three kinds of steamed cake embryos, sugar-fried chestnuts that are popular in autumn and winter in China, and milk pudding that is more custard-like...

"The cake made by this guy is completely Chinese food at its core." A judge judged so.

This is not difficult to guess, or in other words, it was what Xie Yunfei revealed.

But problems also arise.

What will the boy's final product be?

"Should it be a relatively common cake with chestnuts?" Another judge gave such a guess.

As relatively more experienced gourmets, unlike those novice gourmets who only look at the appearance or the quality of the ingredients, a few of them have already passed the point of seeing whether mountains are mountains and water is not water, and have returned to seeing whether mountains are mountains or not, that is, paying attention to the taste of food realm.

Even if what Xie Yunfei brought up was just a plate of cake without any decorations or embellishments, in line with the duties of the judges, the few people would taste it calmly, and then score according to the taste of the dishes and whether they fit the theme.

In fact, whether it is the unfinished chocolate cake of Akane Kubomomo or the chestnut cake that Xie Yunfei can almost guess the finished product, there is no big problem in terms of the two themes of 'cake' and 'fried'. In other words, the key to deciding who can go to the second round ultimately falls on the taste of the dishes served by the two.

If this is the point...

Although they didn't say anything, the judges were more optimistic about Xie Yunfei. There was no other reason, but the original cake made by Xie Yunfei had a glow effect, while the original cake that Akane Kubotao took out of the oven did not.

If the competition is about the quality of the original cake, Xie Yunfei is obviously better.

Fortunately, the girl named Akakubo Momo also seemed to understand this point. At this time, she was whipping cream with an electric egg beater, as if she wanted to make a very classic chocolate cream cake.

Divide the baked round cake horizontally into three slices of the same height, take out the bottom slice, and coat the surface with whipped cream, then the second slice of cake, the second layer of cream, and then the third slice of cake, The third layer of cream...

If it was in the food competition, Akane Kubomomo might choose some more fancy and beautiful cakes, such as lattice cakes, such as Baumkuchen, but she is participating in the dessert competition at this time, and the judges are some of the world's top gourmets. Although such a fancy cake is more beautiful in appearance, the most important taste is not the same as the 'ordinary' version cake she made at this time.

But even so, the surface of the cake modified by Akakubo Momo's spatula and scraper is as smooth as marble, and then, the almost perfect chocolate puree treated by it is poured.

The low-temperature tempered chocolate puree is much thicker than it was at the beginning, and the liquid flows slowly when poured, but after being spread by a spatula, it is like a mirror, able to reflect the lights in the venue.

This is the difference between tempered chocolate and chocolate that has not been tempered. What's more, the tempering technique used by Akane Kubomomo and the chocolate puree she chose are both top-notch.

About five minutes later, one step faster than Xie Yunfei, Qian Kubotao presented his work.

"...Please taste."

Embracing the bear puppet she carried with her, she buried her delicate face behind the puppet.She had already used all her strength, and her ten fingers were temporarily bandaged by the medical staff at the venue. However, the situation was slightly different from the preliminaries. The judges of the knockout round did not believe in tears. Silently, they cut off a small piece of cake with a fork. The few people did not rush to taste it, but inserted the small piece of cake and looked at it carefully before their eyes.

Chapter 303 Advancement

The cut surface of the cake is very beautiful. The outermost chocolate layer, the middle cream layer, and the inner cake layer are clearly separated, and the lines are straight, which makes many obsessive-compulsive people feel very comfortable.

"Pretty solid basic skills."

"From the outside, it looks very nice."

"Thank you." Akakubo Momo nodded.She likes cute things, and among many dishes, all kinds of dim sum are the most beautiful.If it was placed more than two months ago, Akane Kubomomo might have added the word "Western style" before "dim sum", but now...

Shaking his head, and throwing out the thoughts that arose in his heart, Akane Kubomomo stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Unlike the situation in Yuanyuezhong, Akane Kubomomo at this time kept his posture very low.Among the [-] contestants, his culinary skills are not dominant, and can even be said to be the last one. Akane Kubomomo couldn't be clear about this.

It is also because of this that she will learn the advanced cooking technique of 'chocolate tempering at low temperature' which may reduce the life of her chef. Unfortunately, Akane Kubomomo underestimated this technique, or in other words, she will serve as a low-star special The chef's standard advanced cooking techniques are too simple.

After two days of study, Akane Kubomomo thought that even if she hadn't thoroughly learned 'Chocolate Tempering at Low Temperature', it would be enough to participate in the knockout round, but in the end, the constant tingling sensation from her ten fingers and palms reminded Akane Kubomomo that she He failed, not because of the young man not far behind him, but because of his own arrogance.

The surface of the chocolate cream cake brought out by Akane Kubomomo did not glow, or in other words, the original glow had long since dissipated.

Made a special dish by myself.

If it were at any other time, Akane Kubotao would definitely be very happy, but at this moment... Thinking of Xie Yunfei as his opponent, and his cake dough that was almost luminous when it came out of the steamer, Akane Kubotao couldn't help puffing up his mouth, revealing dissatisfied look.

The judges were not very interested. Thinking about it, although Akane Kubomomo served a super dessert, but in the venue full of super chefs, her dish barely reached the passing mark.

"Very good taste." One of the judges said, "The chocolate puree extracted from the chocolate fountain, combined with the low-temperature tempering technology, eats it in the mouth, as if bringing the National People's Congress to a small island near the equator. Sipping an ice-cold drink while walking ankle-deep in the sand."

The judges' analogy made many audience members puzzled, but those special chefs who knew the characteristics of the chocolate fountain showed such expressions at this time.

The chocolate fountain, as the name suggests, is a natural landscape that can touch the chocolate puree. Unlike chocolate made from normal processing cocoa beans, this chocolate puree baked by geothermal heat or even magma, even after refrigeration , there is always a hint of anger hidden inside, and ordinary people will bleed nosebleeds after just a small sip. It is a relatively difficult to tame among many fantasy ingredients.

The method of low-temperature tempering is like forcibly pouring a little coolness into the chocolate puree.Although coolness cannot neutralize the heat, it can also form a fragile balance. It is a cooking method often used in making chocolate puree dishes.

"Unfortunately, the proficiency is not enough." A special chef sitting in the audience said, "That girl should have acquired this technique in less than a week, or the technique that was originally incomplete, even the most basic protection I don’t even know what to do about it.”

Another special chef sitting next to this special chef nodded, "Low-temperature tempering... If I remember correctly, it seems to be born out of that Arhat crystal chop, right? It's all done with the chef's life. In exchange for a way to improve the quality of cooking, although many cooks have added various protective measures to the original cooking methods, the most effective way is actually...well, the 'Qi' used by that boy."

The two special chefs seemed to know a lot, but they only muttered a few words softly, then closed their mouths again and fell into silence.

On the judges' side, comments on the cuisine continued.Perhaps in order to take care of Akane Kubomomo's emotions, the judges did not mention the shortcomings of this dish... Maybe it is not accurate to say that, there are no shortcomings to look for in the special cuisine, at most it is similar to nitpicking, eggs, etc. Picking bones in the general 'finding fault'.

Of course, if these 'shortcomings' can be made up for, then Akishakubo Momo's cooking can be upgraded to another level, reaching the realm of luminous cooking.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is often very skinny.

Not to mention the luminous cooking, it is the chocolate cream cake that the judges are tasting and commenting on. If it is not for the fantasy grade chocolate puree, Akakubomomo alone may not be able to make the finished product reach the special grade.
