Chapter 960: Peony Exquisite PK Four Side Dishes!
Chen Yunhui and Gao Jinshan sat separately and waited for half an hour, when a waitress in a cheongsam walked in from outside, a total of five people.
Everyone is a carefully selected beauty with similar height, fair skin and beautiful appearance.
Don't look at the waiter, the waiter is also hierarchical.
They are the top waiters in China, with a formal establishment, and their income is far higher than that of ordinary civil servants. When I was able to apply for the State Guesthouse, I was also able to pass the test and overcome all obstacles to obtain the qualification.
Not only are they well-trained, but they also have good qualities, they know how to serve their meals and are proficient in saying the name of the dish, the ingredients and the basic cooking skills in Chinese and English after each dish is served.
The first thing to serve is the cold cuts.
The waiter introduced: "The cold dishes made by the two chefs are different, one is peony and the other is a four-grade side dish.
Peony is a famous dish through the ages, and it is as famous as the golden jade.
According to the record of "Qing Yilu", Wu Yue has a kind of exquisite peony bream, which is made into a peony shape with fish and leaf juice, which is ripe and reddish as the peony when it is first opened. Lu You wrote in "Partridge Heaven": The song is ethereal, the vomiting is dumb, and the sake is like dew like a flower. The poem 'like a flower' is the delicate peony that makes the tip of the tongue dance, tempting appetite and alcohol addiction together.
The four side dishes include crispy roasted crucian carp, fried chicken, boiled cucumber strips, and crystal meat. This cold dish seems to be ordinary, and many of them are common home-cooked dishes, but if you trace back to the origin, this is the standard cold dish for the first banquet of the founding of the country. ”
Chen Yunhui couldn't help but sigh, "These two dishes are works of art, and I am reluctant to move chopsticks." ”
From the heart of things, Chen Yunhui is obviously more inclined to the first course.
Whether in terms of appearance or mood, the first course is slightly superior.
Chen Yunhui took the chopsticks to taste two dishes, first of all, he tasted the peony exquisite, the chopsticks picked up a piece, there was a feeling of drawing, and when he sent it to his mouth, he only felt that his mouth was full of fish fragrance, and he felt that his tongue was about to melt.
"It's delicious! It is worthy of being the work of a national player. Chen Yunhui was about to taste the four-pin side dishes, "How to eat this dish, is there any order?"
The waiter patiently introduced, "The chef did not emphasize the order of tasting, but he said that different orders will bring different tastes." ”
Chen Yunhui was stunned, tilted his head, and first tasted the boiled cucumber strips, then the crystal meat, then the crispy roasted crucian carp, and finally the oily chicken......
"Woohoo......" Chen Yunhui subconsciously covered his mouth to prevent the aroma from overflowing from his mouth, and after more than ten seconds, he was sure that there was no food in his mouth, and then he slowly exhaled, "It's so shocking, I thought it was ordinary, but I didn't expect such a big energy to burst out." ”
Gao Jinshan also shouted twice in a row at the next table, "It's delicious, it's delicious!"
His appreciation also gave the four side dishes.
As for Zayed and the others, they were the same as the two of them, at first their attention was attracted by the peony delicate, but after eating the four side dishes, they felt that there was a earth-shaking change.
Chen Yunhui and other judges changed the tasting order of the four side dishes under the reminder of the waiter.
Chen Yunhui started with the oily chicken, followed by the crispy roasted crucian carp, and finally the boiled cucumber, the taste changed from the previous progression to weakening, and finally the greasy mouth was diluted by the fragrance of the cucumber.
"It's so delicious! It's so perfect that the cold dish is made in this way. Chen Yunhui sighed.
Gao Jinshan swept away the four-pin side dishes, and also sighed, "I have to give the four-pin side dishes a high score for the first dish, which subverted my perception of cold dishes and completely activated my appetite." ”
Chen Yunhui took the score card of the two dishes from the waiter's hand and sighed slightly.
Although he couldn't see the situation in the back kitchen, according to his judgment, the first dish was most likely prepared by Qiao Zhi, and the second dish was prepared by Sun Jin.
The first course is luxurious, and to be fair, the best of the best. Chen Yunhui and Gao Jinshan are no strangers to state banquet dishes, no matter the appearance or taste, they are definitely national works.
It's just that the second dish returns to the basics, and the clumsiness is clumsy, so that clumsiness beats cleverness.
Xi Tianlei and Kong Bohou were silent after tasting the cold dishes.
"Have you thought of this result?" Xi Tianlei shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Kong Bohou sighed: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid it's unbelievable." ”
There were many spectators present, and they felt very strange about the referee's attitude, because in their opinion, the result was obvious, Peony Linglong crushed the four small dishes from the appearance, artistic conception and momentum, in short, it was even higher!
But in fact, sometimes you don't have to be forced to be high to win the respect of others.
Xi Tianlei got the results of the VIP judges, and then began to calculate the score, and finally the corners of his mouth showed relief, and the result was the same as what he and Kong Bohou predicted.
The results of the five judges were unanimous, and they all won the victory with four side dishes.
Xi Tianlei walked between Qiao Zhi and Sun Jin, and announced without any expression, "In the competition of the first dish, Qiao Zhi scored 9.8 points with four side dishes, and Sun scored 9.6 points with peony Linglong, so after the first dish competition, Qiao Zhi temporarily took the lead, and then there was a four-course competition, the difference of 0.2 points is nothing, I hope the two will make persistent efforts and come up with the best level." ”
Dubai businessman Zayed came to a conclusion and showed a look of surprise, "Is there any mistake, I thought that the four dishes were the work of Sun Guochu, but I didn't expect it to be the work of that young man, which is really amazing." ”
Harlan sighed: "I have to admit that this cold dish is amazing enough. I've been having a bad appetite for the past few days, and this dish seems to have whetted my appetite and made me feel like I could eat a cow. ”
Cold dishes should have an appetizing effect! The four-pin side dishes have achieved this effect.
Serchiak maintained good manners and remained silent at all times.
He gave a full score when evaluating the four side dishes!
After Xi Tianlei announced the results, the kitchen also fried the pot.
"What?
"Unbelievable! Such a pleasing and delicate peony bream, I have an appetite when I see it, and I actually lose to the mediocre four-grade side dishes?"
"The appearance of the four side dishes is not bad, and each dish can stimulate people's appetite if they look closely. What's more, food is to pursue a comprehensive experience of color, flavor, and flavor, and the quality of food cannot be evaluated from one point. ”
"The key is that the five judges have the same attitude, and they all think that the four side dishes are superior. ”
Alas, although he had already guessed this possibility, he still couldn't help but sigh. ”
"It's only the first game, there are still four dishes behind, and Sun Guochu definitely has a chance to overtake. ”
"The start was not good, and it was too difficult to turn over later. ”
The onlookers were gossiping, and there were always some words that would float into Sun Jin's ears.
Sun Jin took the chopsticks and began to taste his opponent's work.
Judging from the appearance, this is a very appetizing dish, placed at the first banquet of the founding of the country, in line with the national conditions and people's livelihood at that time, but when placed at the current state banquet, it looks slightly mediocre.
Sun Jin originally thought that Qiao Zhi would find another way in cold dishes, so he used his mind and chose to use an innovative dish that fused the classics of the millennium, but he didn't expect that Qiao Zhi was not so complicated at all, and he used an extremely simple four-grade side dish to deal with it.
When the cucumber was eaten, Sun Jin's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly tasted the other three side dishes, his face unspeakably shocked.
These four side dishes, although independent, are linked.
Through different combinations, different textures are produced, so that diners will have an infinitely varied experience.
In short, a four-course meal can be combined to create dozens of different taste sensations, but because the portion is too small, it comes to an abrupt end before they have time to try it, thus adding infinite reverie and loss to diners.
The four-pin side dish may seem simple, but it creates a complex taste, which is in a sense an unprecedented innovation.
No wonder Sun Shichao lost to Qiao Zhi, and he lost without confidence.
Anyone facing such a whimsical character will find it unbelievable.
As his customer, it was a treat because it was possible to experience an unparalleled cuisine.
As his opponent, it was a relentless torture, and his work not only showed a deep heritage, but also unearthed something new.
The key is that the dish made by Qiao Zhi is politically correct.
Choosing the four cold dishes for the first banquet of the founding of the country, no matter how deep the meaning of the opponent's dish is, and how many humanistic allusions to sing and cry about, are enough to kill in seconds.
Qiao Zhi came prepared, and the effect was good.
In order to prepare for the state banquet, Qiao Zhi has not lost brain cells recently. He originally planned to take it out at the state banquet, but since Sun Jin challenged himself, he would take out these dishes and show them, and if he could, there would be no obstacle to using this set of dishes at the subsequent state banquet.
Sun Jin put down his chopsticks, and he ate all the four side dishes.
"You're a great dish. ”
"It's not easy to get your approval. Even though your peony is well done and looks good in terms of seasoning and plating, I would definitely be even more daring than you would be if I were to make this dish. I'll play on the soup and add some Western elements. Qiao Zhi commented truthfully, neither humble nor arrogant.
Qiao Zhi respected Sun Jin because of his solid foundation, and he was indeed the most difficult opponent he had encountered.
It is impossible for Qiao Zhi to defeat him in the field that the other party is best at like he did against Sun Shichao, Kong Fan, and Cao Zhen.
So he had to find a different way.
Use your own advantages to deal with what Sun Jin is not good at.
Sun Jin's biggest characteristic is stability, and stability means that there will be no change.
And Qiao Zhi's first victory was to win the lead in this round with changes.
Otherwise, purely from the point of view of whether it meets the standards of state banquet dishes, Sun Jin will definitely be slightly inferior.
Sun Jin knows a lot about state banquet dishes and knows the needs of state guests well.
I still lacked some in seasoning, so I finally got a score of 9.8, and the score is still very fair.
Sun Jin listened to Qiao Zhi's comments, he was not angry, frowned and began to think about the possibility of self-improvement.
Although Qiao Zhi's words were a little unpleasant, they went straight to the point, if the exquisite peony fish cooked by himself wanted to add points, he had to work on the soup.
