There's a reason the chefs shook their heads.

First of all, tempura is a foreign product.

Or because the cooking level of the island country is lower than that of China, and the variety of food is far less complex than the Chinese cuisine, as a result, a fried food has become a very big category in the island country, and it has become the country's business card like sushi and sashimi.

However, when you are a Chinese chef choosing a chef for a national banquet, you choose to cook island cuisine, which will inevitably make people feel weird.

Secondly, whether tempura can be classified as a white case is also quite controversial.

At least in the eyes of these white case experts, it is a bit far-fetched to say that tempura is a white case, but it cannot be completely said that it is not a white case, and the fried fritters, fried vegetable corners, and fried cakes in China are not white cases.

However, Yan Lao first raised a question: "Master Cang, I am afraid there is still controversy about whether tempura can be classified as a white case, I myself do not support or oppose it, it depends on the attitude of Cai Pinjian and your opponent,

If they all object, you'll probably have to choose a different topic. ”

Cang Yun nodded, looked at Cai Bo with a smile and said, "I heard that among Cai Lao's favorite food, there is this tempura, and I believe that Cai Lao will definitely correct the name of this delicacy, Cai Lao, what do you say?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect it, but you're quite familiar with me, right?"

Cai Bo squinted at her and chuckled: "That's right, I'm in favor of attributing tempura to the white case,

Because those who are really familiar with this dish know that although the 'seed' of tempura is very important, the chef's skill is mainly reflected in its 'skin', and this 'skin' is obviously attributed to the noodle type.

If tempura can't be attributed to the white case, then can't a lot of fried pasta in China be attributed to the red case, isn't it a joke?

And after all, tempura only appeared after my Chinese cuisine spread to the island country, and it is basically our Chinese cuisine, and there is nothing inappropriate for Master Cang to challenge with this dish. ”

The 'seeds' and 'skins' that Cai Bo refers to are not country slang, but jargon about tempura.

If you stand at the height of Chinese cuisine, Chinese chefs can definitely despise the food system of the whole world, and when it comes to food culture, which country can compare with Huaxia?

This is still the case in countries like France and Italy, which also have a splendid gastronomic culture, let alone island countries.

Once upon a time, the daimyo of the island country ate just a small pickled fish, a bowl of green vegetables, a bowl of brown rice, and a bowl of miso soup.

Therefore, when it comes to tempura, many Chinese chefs will say disdainfully, "Isn't it just wrapped in batter and fried things, which is not a main dish in China." ’

This is a big truth, but it is also too underestimated tempura, and that day Yan Yi creatively made a 'vegetarian fried tempura' at the Xiangjiang Food Competition, which represents the chefs of these despising island national dishes.

But it is precisely because of the lack of food in the island countries that the widows of small countries will carefully study it, and after hundreds of years, they still let them come up with something.

Tempura is not an ordinary batter-fried ingredient, and there are not many types of ingredients that can be used, only a dozen or so, which is called 'skin', also called clothing.

Among them, the ingredients that are wrapped are called 'seeds'.

Only when it is fried by an island chef who has carefully studied the clothing and species, and has passed it down from generation to generation, can it be called tempura.

However, Cai Bo did not explain too much about the 'species' and 'clothing' of tempura.

He has a habit of boasting when he sees a beauty, and he will boast about food when he sees it, and now there are beauties, but there are too many people present, which does not meet the requirements of his environment.

"Thank you, Elder Cai, for correcting the name of tempura. ”

Cang Yun finally broke the ice and smiled, and the charm of a mature woman was revealed: "What about Team Leader Zhou?"

Zhou Dong was about to speak, when he suddenly heard an old and energetic voice coming from outside: "Haha, it seems that I came quite at the right time, is someone going to challenge Team Leader Zhou?"

Shang Qingxiong's face was pale, and he lowered his voice and said, "Old Zhou, my grandfather has arrived ......."

"Elder Shang?"

I didn't expect this legendary big man to really come!

Even Zhou Dong was a little inexplicably nervous, as everyone looked towards the door of the back kitchen, they saw that the first to flash in were four men with fierce faces and eagle-like eyes.

There are also figures flickering outside the door, and I don't know how many hard characters have come.

An old man with silver hair, accompanied by a man in a gray tunic suit, walked slowly into the back kitchen.

"Shang Lao!"

"His old man actually came, but it was just a selection, how could it alarm his old man?"

Looking at these two faces that often appear on TV, not to mention these white case masters, even Yan Lao was a little nervous.

"Mr. Shang, Mr. Shang......"

Shang Ying helped his father walk up to Yan Lao, smiled and waved his hand, "Old Yan, I didn't say hello to you before, but I'm sorry."

Everyone doesn't have to be restrained, they can do whatever they have to do, my father and I just come over and have a look......"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Dong who was standing beside his son, and nodded at Zhou Dong with a smile.

Zhou Dong was stunned by him, and he was a little at a loss, I don't know if he should laugh back or something?

Just take a look?

The chefs looked at each other, what is the identity of Mr. Shang and Mr. Shang, can they just go to the back kitchen to have a look?

Moreover, Mr. Shang also smiled at Team Leader Zhou, and then thought that Zhou Dong had no qualifications for the National Banquet, but he was directly designated as the leader of the white case......

Even the most calm person can't help but look at Cang Yun with sympathetic eyes at this moment, this peer is afraid that he is going to kick the iron plate, and the people valued by the merchant dare to challenge it?

Cang Yun was also stunned, frowning and looking at Zhou Dong.

It's false to say that she is not panicked, her personality is relatively big, but she is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world, Mr. Shang smiled and nodded at Zhou Dong when he entered the door, this is obviously to cheer up and support him?

Elder Shang shook hands with Elder Yan and Cai Bo, and said with a smile: "I, the old man, didn't disturb everyone, right?"

Don't be nervous, let alone have any worries, I'm actually a person who loves to eat, I heard that there are a lot of delicious things in the white case selection, don't you can't help it?

By the way, didn't you just say you wanted to challenge, so keep going...... There are delicious and beautiful things, and I've come to the right place this time. ”

In the end, it is still Shang Lao, two sentences enliven the atmosphere of the kitchen, and all the chefs laughed, saying that Shang Lao, you love to eat is a good thing, which means that your body is great, and it is the responsibility of us to eat well.

Cang Yun also relaxed, looked at Zhou Dong and said, "Chef Zhou, you haven't expressed your position yet, are you willing to accept my challenge to you with this tempura?"

"Naturally, yes, and I'd love to try the tempura made by Master Kura and the big road goods. ”

Zhou Dong smiled: "And I have another proposal." ”

Cang Yun was stunned: "Please say?"

"Since Chef Kura is going to challenge him with tempura, I'm going to use this dish as well, right? ”

"Oh?"

Hearing that Zhou Dong was going to fight with the same dish, not only Cang Yun, but even Shang Lao was dazzled, and he glanced at Zhou Dong with interest.
