Chapter 1049: A Masterpiece for the Occasion: Aquaman's Feast!
Mr. Treser, I have a bold idea. Why don't we increase the depth and breadth of communication?" Qiao Zhi said with a smile.
"Oh? "Treser was interested.
"I don't think a dish can show your or my understanding of cooking. Qiao Zhi said seriously.
"Haha, that's not easy, let's make a few more dishes! However, we can't keep the guests outside waiting. Treser laughed heartily.
"Then let's set a time limit, half an hour, how about it?" Qiao Zhi likes Terezier's character, he is fast-talking, and he is a straight person.
"Good!"
Treezer hummed a light melody and quickened the movement of his hands.
On the surface, it seems to be communication, but unconsciously, it begins to be filled with the atmosphere of competition.
Of course, such competition does not have a strong smell of gunpowder, but carries a kind of goodwill.
Qiao Zhi completely entered the state of cooking at this moment, and he didn't want to keep his hole cards, but just wanted to release his understanding of cooking in the recent period at this moment.
As for Treser's interest in this young man, he has not had this urge for many years to show his full strength.
Entering the dragon list is equivalent to having been "gods" in the culinary industry, and there are only a handful of fellow practitioners who can stand side by side with themselves.
In order to get to his current status, Terezer overcame obstacles and beat many chefs to achieve his current results.
So he felt the feeling of competition again, as if he had returned to his youth.
Although it was only the first time he met Qiao Zhi, it was like a friend at first sight.
Qiao Zhi's affinity made people can't help but get closer.
"Papapa" ......
Qiao Zhi slammed the dough the board, making a lot of noise.
Treezier dedicates part of his energy to observe Qiao Zhi's work, he does not deliberately create gimmicks or attract attention, but judges the toughness of the dough by the sound it makes, which requires a lot of experience.
Different pastries require different degrees of fermentation, different tastes, and different degrees of dough being kneaded.
After Qiao Zhi prepared the dough, he began to prepare other ingredients, although Trese couldn't guess what Qiao Zhi was doing, but he could be sure that Qiao Zhi's work was definitely not replicable, because there were too many formalities and too many ingredients involved.
In the world of Western cooking, there are also dishes that require cumbersome procedures, but most of them are in pursuit of the simplest cooking methods to create a good product.
However, the recent turmoil in the food world has been continuous, and in the process of visiting the restaurants in the Michelin Guide, the two food detectives of the Michelin Guide found a lot of logic that Chinese cuisine is different from the world's mainstream cuisine, so a controversy was launched, what is the true meaning of cooking!
Whether to keep the original taste of the ingredients, or to give more variety to the ingredients by cooking.
Treser has always had this question in his heart for so many years, he thinks that the chef should present the best side of the ingredients to everyone through his own experience, but he is also occasionally confused, in fact, in the process of processing, magnifying the advantages of the ingredients is originally a kind of seasoning.
Isn't cooking for the finishing touch?
The controversy also includes the issue of over-seasoning.
Chinese chefs overly pursue the role of spices, and occasionally let the ingredients become supporting roles.
Treezer is familiar with Simeone and has discussed his views on food with him a few times, and Simone has a more arrogant personality and shows his views on food
On the stubborn side, he firmly believes that the secret of cooking lies in the less embellishments and the preservation of the ingredients as they are.
But after Simone's trip to China, his views were completely overturned.
He made a special phone call with Trese, saying that he had a misunderstanding about cooking, and that through the best cooking skills, he could show more of the different sides of the ingredients.
Qiao Zhi put the dough aside and began to process the other ingredients, choosing fresh shrimp and shelling it, which could not hurt the shrimp meat and maintain the proper taste of the shrimp meat, which was very simple for Qiao Zhi.
The knife in his hand flickered, the back of the shrimp was cut, the shrimp line was picked out, and the shrimp shell was completely removed without hurting a little shrimp meat.
Qiao Zhi turned into a shrimp peeling maniac at this moment, and in about three or four minutes, more than ten catties of shrimp meat were processed.
The chefs beside Trese also have a new understanding of the knife skills of Chinese chefs.
Although Treezer is cooperating with Qiao Zhi, he is actually an opponent, and under his leadership, the whole person has also fallen into a state of anti-euphoria, he is best at handling beef, and what he is preparing at the moment is the ox knee bone.
Western chefs are not good at using knives, and he can prove this view wrong.
After about half an hour, the joint work of the two top chefs was completed.
In half an hour, an average chef can complete three or four dishes with high quality at most.
But Qiao Zhi and Trezer are like spit robots, one by one the delicacies are made, and then the two of them personally put them on the plate.
When the chefs saw the finished product, their eyes were full of shock.
originally thought that the two of them would cook one or two dishes and evaluate each other, but who would have thought that the two would make an impressive and shocking combination of dishes.
Qiao Zhi and Treezer smiled similarly, and they were both satisfied with their performances today.
Such a work, the two worked together again, and it is absolutely impossible to restore it exactly the same.
Treezer exclaimed: "Sure enough, you defeated Max not by luck, but by strength." ”
Qiao Zhi smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment, I am looking forward to what kind of reaction the diners will have to this work we completed together today." ”
Treezer said confidently: "I'll know later, it shouldn't be bad." ”
Although there were hundreds of people on site, there was a lot of variety of dishes prepared by Treezer and Qiao Zhi.
There is only one serving per dish, and the eight largest plates are chosen, which is enough for twenty or thirty people. When the food is served, it needs to be carried by the whole team and moved carefully.
Such a big movement attracted the attention of the guests.
Avril saw Qiao Zhi and Treezer appear at the same time, she walked over and said in surprise, "You are a guest, why are you still doing it yourself?"
Qiao Zhi leaned into Avril's ear and laughed softly: "When I met an opponent of equal strength, I couldn't hold back for a while, and my hands itched." ”
Avril rolled her eyes helplessly, frowned, and said, "What have you done? ”
Qiao Zhi remained silent, "You'll know later, it's a big surprise!"
The chefs unveiled the dinner covers, revealing the lineup of dishes, and the eight plates, although independent, were unified in style.
The guests were amazed one after another, because this is a large dish, and the plate is divided into many small areas, each area is composed of a dish, and the overall composition and arrangement are very exquisite.
Avril frowned and said, "These dishes are good
It's amazing that you and Treezer have set up a sand table that symbolizes the distribution of the islands with delicious food. ”
Trese said with a smile: "When Qiao Zhi discussed with me, I was also shocked by his creativity. The time is relatively short, and with my ability alone, I can't complete it at all, but fortunately, Qiao Zhi took on the main part. By the way, we gave this dish a name, it's called Aquaman's Feast!"
Avril smiled, "Sounds a little cheesy, but it's imposing." ”
The oversized combination dish was displayed in front of everyone and attracted everyone's attention.
At first glance, it looks like a food exhibition.
If the art exhibition can bring people spiritual enjoyment, the current sea king feast is not only a visual enjoyment, but also a shock of taste and smell.
"These dishes are self-contained, like islands floating on the sea, and they look very delicate. ”
It can be seen that Avril is really attentive. For the sake of the island industry, such a shocking dish was made. ”
Some people misunderstood that this dish was created specifically for parties!
Owen, who was not far away, turned his face gloomy, originally thought that Qiao Zhi used the back kitchen as a refuge, but the result was completely different from what he imagined, he went to the back kitchen for more important things, and used his actual actions to strengthen the theme of this party.
Qiao Zhi originally just planned to have a brief discussion and exchange with Treser, but he didn't expect that in the process of sparring, inspiration exploded and he cooked a lot of dishes, and Trese did the same, and finally they discussed it and expressed it in the form of eight dishes.
Qiao Zhi came up with the idea of using the sea and islands as the main design elements, which is just right for today's party.
Unlike Western cuisine, Chinese cuisine pays attention to what kind of activities and what kind of dishes are more suitable for the situation.
Each island is a separate dish that looks different, but their taste is unified by the soup base on the plate.
"Is it ready to eat?" asked two female guests, who are food lovers, impatiently.
"You can taste it, but because there are not enough dishes today, everyone can only taste a little, which dish you want to eat, I will help you divide it!" The chef of the Tracer team explained with a smile.
"Shall I taste the little island in the middle, which looks like a hyssop?" one of the female guests whispered.
"You're right, it's a Spanish braised beef knee, made from the finest calf knee bones and spiced with the most famous saffron. The chef explained.
"Is this beef? It melts in your mouth, and it's even more aromatic than foie gras. Another female guest chose another dish, picking up a slice of beef as thin as a cicada's wings with a fork and curious.
"This is made from the best island country Wagyu beef, and it is made with ice blade beef sashimi. The chef tried hard to recall Qiao Zhi's explanation to himself, "Using the cold temperature of the blade, the nutrients of the beef are locked, and the special sauce next to it sticks to the taste." ”
"It's so delicious. Can I still eat one?"
"I'm sorry, but because there are so many people, there is only one limit per person. ”
"Isn't it self-help?"
"Everything else is buffet, but this dish is only one and is available in limited quantities. ”
The two ladies were so struck by the wonderful taste that they found their male companions.
In the name of the male partner, I strongly asked them to be given another chance to taste it......
