Fan Hu's face suddenly turned pale and bloodless.

The Fan Hu cheerleaders in the audience were also silent.

The chef of Fengqilou, who came to watch Fan Hu's competition, was even more frosty.

"In this round, I lost. ”

Faced with Master Hong's judgment of "not passing", Fan Hu did not make any rebuttal, but accepted it happily.

"It's a pity that Fan Hu is in this round, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to choose wontons, even if he was also making dumplings, he would definitely be able to enter the next round. Xu Ming felt sorry for Fan Hu.

Putting away his kitchen utensils, Fan Hu didn't look at anyone on the stage, and walked out of the ring in the center of the arena without looking back.

When Fan Hu had just stepped down, Master Hong took the microphone, and a hoarse voice immediately came out of the speaker.

"Chinese cuisine has been around for thousands of years, and it is not only the taste that is simple, but also the food culture of the cuisine, and if the taste is the meat of the cuisine itself, then the food culture is the soul of the cuisine. Only when the flesh and soul are combined is a good dish. Through this dish, I hope that everyone present can remember the importance of Chinese food culture!" said Chef Hong very seriously.

"I didn't expect this old man to be so strict, the next one is his disciple, I don't know if Master Hong will lower his standards. Ni Shuai said.

"Absolutely not. Xu Ming immediately replied, "I understand Master Hong's personality, he is upright, and he treats his disciple Tan Yu, I am afraid that not only will not lower the standard, but will be more stringent." Moreover, Fan Hu's defeat just now was not without reason, in addition to choosing the wrong wonton, Chef Hong also hopes to emphasize the essence and importance of Chinese food culture to people through such examples. Fan Hu unfortunately lost because his understanding of food culture was not comprehensive enough. ”

Immersed in the food industry for many years, Xu Ming has long realized the lack of the current Chinese food culture, affected and influenced by foreign food culture, the domestic crowd is more and more in love with foreign food, once the foreign food culture occupies the domestic food industry, then other cultures, including Chinese history, may be impacted, and even control the minds of the Chinese people!

Thinking of this, Xu Ming only felt a lot of cold sweat on his back.

"Hmph. Pan Feng, the chef of Fengqi Building, brushed his sleeves and left, bringing a lot of people from Fengqi Building.

Given Fan Hu's judgment, Master Hong came to his disciple Tan Yu.

"This cup is really suspenseful, following the first round of three perfect scores, in the second round, the second Youth Cup champion Fan Hu was eliminated, it is really surprising!" Xiao Feng sighed.

"Master Hong came to Tan Yu of the Golden Banquet, as we all know, Tan Yu is Master Hong's disciple, I don't know what Master Hong will say about the dishes made by his disciple? However, as far as I know, Master Hong is a master with scales in his heart, so I am not worried at all that Master Hong will take any care of Jin Yan's disciples. ”

is also from Jiangning, Zhao Ling erected a fair banner for Master Hong at the beginning.

Master Hong looked at the utensils in front of Tan Yu, which were divided into 3*3 nine-square grid shapes, each grid contained a serving of noodles, and the soup base of each noodle was different.

"What are you doing?"

Facing his disciples, Master Hong finally spoke.

"Master Hong, I make nine-color noodles, which are noodles made with tendon noodles and nine different soup bases, so they are called nine-color noodles. ”

On such an occasion, it is indeed inappropriate to call Master directly, so Tan Yu can only call Hong Qi Master Hong.

"Hmm..."Master Hong saw that the noodle soup in Jiugongge was different in color, white, red, green, yellow... Wait a minute.

Master Hong stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a bite of noodles in the white soup base, slipped it, and ate it into his mouth, the white soup base looked a little sticky.

"This is probably a bone broth base with ginseng. ”

Tan Yu immediately nodded and said respectfully, "That's right." ”

Chef Hong didn't stop his chopsticks, and picked up a mouthful of noodles from the green soup base, and made another snort.

His mouth moved a few times and he paused.

"This is a green tea soup base, using green tea bags and served with clear chicken soup. ”

Tan Yu arched his hand, lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

Chef Hong picked up his chopsticks for the third time, this time with a yellow soup base.

"This one is the base of the sour soup. ”

Tan Yu didn't say anything at this time, just nodded again.

After eating three more bites, Master Hong closed his eyes, seemed to reminisce, and said: "The white soup is mellow, the green soup is refreshing, the yellow soup is appetizing, the noodles are elastic and slippery in the mouth, full of chewiness, and with different soup bases, it produces a completely different feeling in the taste. ”

Listening to Master Hong's words, Tan Yu's always cold face was filled with a little joy.

"There is no doubt that the nine colors of noodles are in line with the theme of pasta, so tell us how this dish embodies the theme of inclusion. ”

"Yes. Tan Yu said respectfully, "The inspiration for my nine-colored noodles comes from a sacred object on the ancient Dunhuang murals - the nine-colored deer. This nine-colored deer has nine colors on its body, and there is also a legend about it, that is, the nine-colored deer often helps people in trouble, and also has some incredible divine powers. And the reason why the nine-colored deer has divine power is actually because of the 'deer king Bensheng'. Legend has it that he saw the birth, old age, sickness, and death of the human world, and felt that the human world was very bitter, so he became a monk and practiced in order to seek liberation, and finally became a Buddha. Therefore, my nine-colored noodles actually imply the inclusiveness of the Buddha, which can not only help the world, but also persuade people to do good, and even those who are unforgivable can also put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground. In the same way, as a noodle dish, the same noodles can still exert their own chewy taste in nine different soup bases, reflecting the deliciousness of the soup base, which is also a kind of ingredient inclusiveness. ”

Tan Yu's legend of the ancient Dunhuang murals immediately attracted everyone at the scene, and even Master Hong's eyes widened suddenly, but he was still pressed down by the heavy eyelids.

Even Chen Mo, who was cooking, stopped what he was doing and listened to Tan Yu tell the legend of the nine-colored deer.

Through the legend of the nine-colored deer, the fearless inclusiveness of Buddhism can be derived, and the meaning behind the nine-colored noodles is far more than the noodles themselves. Master Hong's eyes lit up, "Tan Yu, this nine-colored noodle, I want to give you a thumbs up." ”

For the praise of his apprentice, Master Hong did not shy away from it.

"Tan Yu, pass!"

Tan Yu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

Being able to pass this round of tests and also get the master's affirmation, this is undoubtedly a strong incentive for Tan Yu.

Even at this moment, Tan Yu has an absolute belief in victory and can hold the championship in his hands in the next round.

After listening to Chef Hong's evaluation of Tan Yu, Chen Mo lowered his head again and cooked his own dishes meticulously.
