Xi Tianlei reacted quickly and understood the reason why Kong Bohou said this, but in his heart, he thought that Qiao Zhi should not make such a low-level mistake, and there should be another mystery.

"Let's try the dishes first!" Xi Tianlei remained silent.

Kong Bohou bowed his head slightly, and went on stage with the other judges to try the final work of the eight people.

He is worthy of being the top young chef in China, and under the bright and blind Chinese porcelain tableware, every dish gives people a pleasing sense of gorgeousness.

Not only the grace and luxury of Chinese cuisine, but also the exquisite fashion of Western cuisine, as for the taste, there is no need to repeat, every dish is the level of a Michelin-starred restaurant.

The audience below was full of discussions.

"It's delicious just by looking at the images, and the first thing I do when the game is over is to find a place to have a good meal. ”

"It's past ten o'clock now, is this a late-night poison? ”

"It turns out that the top food has grown like this, and I will have the confidence to discuss food with others in the future. I've never eaten pork, but we've at least seen pigs run. ”

Kong Lu's expression was nervous, and his hands were clenched.

Although she knew that with her brother's cooking skills, she would definitely get good results, but she still felt uneasy, and from the visual point of view, the work of every chef present was perfect.

Xi Tianlei tasted them one by one, and was in a very good mood, not only did there appear many fresh faces at this tasting conference, but also the newcomers performed well.

Suo Zhi tasted all of Charlene's dishes and nodded with satisfaction, "It is very difficult to use Bashu cuisine to prepare three dishes and one soup at the level of a state banquet, but your performance is very good, especially the boiling water cabbage, which has reached the realm of a grandmaster." ”

Kong Bohou next to him also bowed slightly, recognized Xia Lin's level, and marked a significant mark on his score sheet.

Xi Tianlei groaned: "You have added some very unique elements to the soup base of boiling water cabbage. ”

Charlene said softly, "Thank you, Teacher Suo, for your compliment." Mr. Xi, your taste buds are very powerful, I added a little wild pepper to taste when I boiled the soup base. ”

Xi Tianlei's eyes lit up, and he sighed: "You have extracted the fragrance from wild peppercorns and eliminated the spicy taste, you need to have enough understanding of the seasoning, and you have also tried it countless times, right?"

Charlene's face turned red and nodded, "I'm very interested in spices, so in addition to work, I spend a lot of time looking for new seasonings every day. In fact, in nature, there are many natural spices that are suitable for cooking, but no one excavates them. ”

Suo Zhi sighed softly beside him, "Charlene, you remind me of a good friend." ”

Xi Tianlei was also very emotional, "Suo Lao refers to the late national chef Zhao Changming, whose taste is sensitive and his seasoning is the best in the world. After retiring, Mr. Zhao has been working hard to find top-quality spices, and for this reason, he has traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. ”

Xia Lin bowed her head and said: "I have read Zhao Lao's "Book of Incense" and benefited a lot. ”

Kong Bohou also had a very good relationship with Zhao Changming, and sighed: "If Zhao Lao is alive, he will definitely lead you to be a confidant." Your path is not alone, there are seniors like Zhao Lao in front of you, you have to persevere. ”

The three grandmasters' earnest teaching to Charlene not only highly appreciated Charlene's potential, but also revealed a signal that Charlene will be the biggest dark horse in this tasting conference, her score will be very high, and there must be a place in the top three.

Mei Ling saw that Tang Qi's expression was hidden in excitement, and said with a smile: "It seems that Charlene has become famous in this conference." ”

Tang Qi said with a smile: "It can only be said that her luck is very good, if Sun Shichao and Cao Zhen are not eliminated in the first two stages, Charlene's light will also be overshadowed by them." ”

Mei Ling shook her head, "Luck is also part of strength. ”

Tang Qi was relieved, he originally felt that he was a little lacking in confidence to recommend Charlene to Qiao Gang Leader.

Because Charlene is too young and has no flashy grades and background, she still has some worries.

However, if Charlene can achieve good results in the food tasting conference, this also indirectly shows that his recommendation is well-founded.

"Charlene must be in the top three!" Luan Pan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I knew you were going to support Charlene, feminist. A smile appeared in Tang's eyes.

Ning Hui pursed his lips and said lightly: "If you can't get the first, what's the point?"

Tang Shuangshuang frowned, "The first must be Qiao Zhi, and if Xia Lin can get the second, it will be very powerful." ”

Ning Hui couldn't help but ridicule: "Qiao Zhi is too proud. The title of the last dish is three dishes and one soup, obviously to select the chef of this year's state banquet to set the corresponding theme, although the taste of the state banquet is eclectic, there are many shadows of cuisine, but the standard of taste is still based on Huainan cuisine. Therefore, Huainan cuisine is a veritable king of state banquets. Qiao Zhi is a top chef of Huainan cuisine, but he has to challenge Confucian cuisine, isn't this competing with others' strengths with his own shortcomings?"

Tang Shuangshuang raised his eyebrows, "He is challenging himself, what do you know! In the world of masters, he seeks defeat alone! Winning with what he is best at is nothing." ”

Ning Hui's face stiffened, and he scolded secretly, Qiao Zhi is really pretending to be a forceful! This kind of person is a bit like a grasshopper who likes to jump, and he generally can't survive more than two episodes in it, and he will definitely be trampled to death by the protagonist!

The judges left Charlene's stove and walked towards Kong Fan.

Kong Fan's expression was calm, with a faint smile on his face, he was very confident in his performance today, and the four dishes definitely showed their best level.

The ten judges picked up the cutlery and began to taste Kong Fan's work.

First of all, judging from the appearance, Kong Fan's three meals and one soup aroused their interest.

Although the state banquet is simple, it must not be too simple, and the four dishes are put together to form a combination with a strong sense of layering, which can make people know at a glance that each dish is of extraordinary significance and can show the cultural heritage of a country.

Kong Bohou tasted a taste of Bazhen soup, as soon as he entered the mouth, the rich soup instantly filled the tip of his nose, making people feel as if he had eaten a mouthful of liquid gold, thick and not greasy, the tip of the tongue touched the changeable taste of the ingredients, the soft taste, and then a faint fragrance and the aroma of the soup base formed several waves of impact.

The soft taste made Kong Bohou couldn't help but squint his eyes and swallow it in one gulp.

Kong Bohou wanted to praise from the bottom of his heart, but suddenly remembered that this was his disciple's work, and quickly closed his mouth, but when he looked at Kong Fan, he bowed his head slightly and expressed his approval.

Kong Fan cares most about Kong Bohou's attitude, because he is the master of Confucian cuisine, and his cooking skills are all learned from him, and Kong Bohou is serious and strict, and he will never deliberately release water to himself because of his own judges, but he pays attention to his reputation and will be more strict.

Kong Bohou's affirmative eyes made Kong Fan full of confidence, and he played well in today's four dishes.

Kong Bohou didn't expect Kong Fan's performance to be so good, if he faced Sun Shichao, he would also have a chance to win the first place in the tasting conference today, not to mention Qiao Zhi, who made a major mistake.

Xi Tianlei focused on tasting the fairy duck, which was impressive.

"When your master was young, he had a nickname called Duck Kong, and at that time he was famous for cooking fairy ducks all over the country, so everyone gave him such a nickname. The dish you cooked not only has the style of his youth, but also integrates his own style, and the level is very high, which makes me very amazing!" Xi Tianlei is known for his tricky taste, but today he gave Kong Fan a high evaluation.

In Xi Tianlei's view, Kong Fan is either the first or the second today, even if he loses to Qiao Zhi, he is still glorious despite defeat.

"Thank you, Teacher Xi's compliment, I am far from the level of my teacher, and today I am also hard-headed, making Master's specialty dish, and offering ugliness!" Kong Fan smiled modestly.

Xi Tianlei was full of smiles on his face, and he was very surprised, today's Kong Fan felt like a different person, his personality had lost his previous impulses, and he became calm and introverted, quite a general.

Xi Tianlei didn't know the reason why Kong Fan could change, Kong Fan knew that there were many people on the Internet who were supporting him now, and he had to pay attention to the impact, and he couldn't do things like before.

Li Xin smiled with satisfaction in the audience, "Kong Lu, your brother has gained a lot of fans today, and his performance has exceeded our imagination." ”

Meng Jia also agreed: "Although your brother had a conflict with Qiao Zhi before, but now everyone's impression of him has completely changed, many people think that your brother and Qiao Zhi are hiding, hiding a lot of unknown things, and many people have begun to deduce, such as your brother's character is more honest, but he was used by some people......"

Kong Lu said: "My brother is actually very smart, his emotional intelligence is not low, and he knows what to say when and when. ”

Kong Fan's three dishes and one soup have been tasted by the judges, and each dish has been highly recognized by the judges, especially the two dishes of Yipin Bazhen Soup and Fairy Duck, which have reached the pinnacle of culinary art in terms of skill and innovation.

The judges finally walked to the area where Qiao Zhi was, although there were still four contestants behind Qiao Zhi, but Qiao Zhi was the one they valued the most, as early as the first two stages, Qiao Zhi proved his strength.

Kong Bo was expressionless, picked up his chopsticks, and targeted the dish that he thought was a "major mistake", and when the dish was eaten, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, "This is not pork belly?"

Xi Tianlei also quickly tasted it, "Although the taste is very similar to pork belly, after tasting it carefully, you will find that it is made of tofu." ”

Kong Bohou tasted the rich and fresh aroma in his mouth, and the whole person had a new understanding of this dish on the scallop, it turned out that this dish could do this!

Suo Zhi was also a little curious, because not only Kong Bohou would think that this dish was a fatal mistake, but the other judges would also feel that there was a serious problem with this dish.

Generally speaking, state banquet dishes not only require color, flavor, and flavor, but also have strict requirements for ingredients, such as paying attention to the "six nos", requiring no bones, no thorns, no tendons, no seeds, no seeds, no seeds, and no scales.

Scaleless does not mean that the fish does not have scales, but refers to ingredients without scales, such as yellow eel, loach, etc., which cannot appear at state banquets.

In addition, the state banquet also has customs and beliefs, and the participants are different from each other in terms of race, creed, culture, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the food that the participants do not eat in the menu, and if the guests of Islam are provided with pork as the ingredient, it will have a very bad effect.

So today's last exam question, there is a hidden trap, that is, the assessment of the forbidden ingredients for the state banquet!

Qiao Zhi's cooking belt is upward, and the appearance is strongly deceptive.

He replaced the pork belly with tofu, so Kong Bohou mistakenly thought that Qiao Zhi had committed a serious taboo.
