Of course, it's not really a cauldron on the head, but this judge is also maverick enough, wearing a thing that says that the hat is not like a hat, and that the hat is not like a hat on the head, at first glance it looks like a cauldron on the head.

And this thing is really wearing a cloth robe, still white, with a pattern embroidered with colored threads on the chest, front and back, a grilled chicken on the chest, a roast duck on the back, and two arms shake off, but it is a crab and prawn. This dress is too good, it is not enough to describe it as a maverick, no matter how normal people look at it, they have to feel that this is a madman.

Aren't you crazy?

Zhou Yi suddenly remembered what Zhang Zhao and Tang Bao said about an alternative figure in the food world, there is the 'He Maniac' who is the first spoon in the six northern provinces of China.

It is said that this person is not only good at cooking, but also a winemaker, studying the way of eating are enchanted; on weekdays, he is not informal, and when it comes to formal occasions, he likes to wear a pot cap hat and chicken, duck, fish, meat, crab and prawn pictures, and a certain gentleman wears a long shirt at modern Kyoto University, and he has the style of a nineteen-year-old small mm in his ancient years.

Since ancient times, there have been great talents, and all of them have quirks. This madman is like this, he has a lot of sex, he comes and goes, he has cooked in the Nanshui Palace of the Imperial City, and he has made wine in the ancient garden, and then he doesn't know where he went, even Tang Bao can't touch his whereabouts, who would have thought that he would come to France and become a judge of this competition?

Zhou Yi feels that the world is really small. I have been famous for this crazy man for a long time, but I didn't expect to see him here, and I saw this person appear. Some foreign reporters exclaimed, presumably as a performance artist judge. This is also the first judge to steal the limelight from the contestants since the beginning of the world, right?

But let these foreign reporters shout, why bother to be too lazy. looked Zhou Yi up and down a few times, smiled at him and nodded. Zhou Yi also responded with a smile, this crazy grandmaster in the Chinese food world has been obsessed with cooking and wine all his life, and he looks down on fame and fortune, he is a real seeker, which makes him admire it very much.

At this point, the results of the draw have already been announced. Zhou Jingjing smoked 'wine tasting', and the owner of the Royal Paris Restaurant smoked 'dessert'. These two results made the insiders a little disappointed, looking forward to the media representative Emry can smoke a cold dish or something, who wants to be evil today. She actually drew 'pastry', which is what Huaxia Qinxing called 'white case'.

Wine tasting, pastries, desserts, whether Chinese cuisine or French cuisine, are also inseparable from these three things; but in the final analysis, these are not the mainstream, they are all some green leaves, the insiders are naturally a little disappointed, the laymen are excited, especially the women, pastries and desserts are their favorites.

Several judges discussed it and decided to compare the wine tasting first. As for pastries and desserts. In the end, Sam's judges from the Americas proposed that since these two items are both used as competition items, it is stipulated that noodles should be a staple food, such as steamed buns, dumplings and various types of noodles, even if they are made into steamed buns with bean paste filling, they are still regarded as pastries; as for desserts, they naturally highlight a sweet word, but they should be mainly snacks and ice cream that accompany the meal. Staple foods cannot be involved. The proposal was immediately unanimously endorsed by several judges.

Under the careful planning of the judges, the first session was a comparison of the chef's basic skills and wine tasting.

Eat and drink, drink before eating. Of course, you can be a chef if you don't know how to taste wine, but if you want to be an outstanding, top-notch, and glorious people's chef, how can you do it without the skill of wine tasting? Whether it is Chinese cuisine or French cuisine, there are many famous dishes that must be tasted with wine, and in addition, the chef's ability to taste wine can also reflect whether there is a spiritual tongue that can taste all kinds of flavors.

So this game is not only more important than experience, but also more important than talent, such as Yang Cai, that is, born with a wonderful tongue, brought out of the mother's womb, it is useless for anyone to envy it.

It was only then that Master Louis lazily opened his eyes, and then was soon covered with a black cloth. The same is true for Zhou Yi, according to the rules of the wine tasting competition, both sides have to judge the type, year and grade of wine based on taste and smell alone, each person tastes five glasses of wine, and finally wins with accuracy.

As the winner of the Silver Spoon Prize in France, Master Louis was given the right to taste the wine first. After taking a glass of red wine, he shook the glass very gentlemanly, sniffed it carefully, and proudly put the glass down and said: "I'm sorry, I don't want this low-grade daily table wine to hurt the palate, this is made from the most ordinary red grapes, in France, this grade of grapes is more than the withered grass of the Petite Pyrenees, and the price of a bottle will not exceed 50 francs, which is really bad." ”

Before Louis's words fell, there was applause in the 'fighting vegetable hall'.

As we all know, although French red wine is famous all over the world, there are also many grades. One of the cheapest is this daily table wine, which can be bought in many supermarkets or mass merchandisers, and is the most common grade with the least strict restrictions of all kinds, and as a master Louis, he naturally dismisses it.

One level higher than this everyday wine is the regional wine, which costs between 100 and 300 francs, and above all, the fine regional wine, which can enter the fine dining restaurant, but it is not really a top wine.

The truly top-notch wine is the AOC 'AOC Wine'. For example, Lafite and Mouton all belong to this category, they are the nobility of wine that can enter the top restaurants, and a bottle can bankrupt ordinary people; among them, they are divided into local AOC, regional AOC and village-level AOC, each with its own strengths, it is difficult to say which is higher or lower, as for the products of special years, such as 45-year-old Mouton, it is already an antique, and the French president may not be able to afford to drink it

Red wine classification is so detailed, it is not easy to distinguish, you must be a real wine taster, even the lowest daily table wine, at least you have to taste it to distinguish, but Master Louis actually sniffed blindfolded and can distinguish it, can this not be admired?

"Hey, hey"

He Madman had a calm face. looked at Zhou Yi, who was blindfolded, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Huh. It seems that my luck is much better than that of Mr. Louis. This is a cup of Fenjiu from northwest China, and it is also puree. Well. If I'm not mistaken, this wine should be more than five years old, but the bartender may not know about Chinese wine, or may be joking with me, how can this wine be mixed with a cocktail with the taste of blue roses? This is not vodka."

Zhou Yi didn't drink it, but just took the wine glass and passed it under his nose. The above evaluation was made.

"Mr. Zhou is right, it really makes people admire your hound-like sense of smell" The bartender couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, he originally wanted to embarrass this young man in China, but he didn't expect that people didn't need to drink it to find the cat greasy. He couldn't be convinced.

"Rum. The taste is as hot as ever, and the taste is deep, with the vicissitudes of the sea, is this found on a pirate shipwreck?

Zhou Yi's performance made Louie begin to face it squarely, but his capital is also very strong, this time he just licked it, and then he dried it up, and good wine naturally can't be let go.

"Well, it's a good wine, with aromas of leather and shrubs, and a lot of variety. It's like a child with a weird temper. This is Pinot Noir, the only red grape variety from Burgundy, and although it is not as famous as Cabernet Sauvignon, it is cultivated on a wide range of scales, and it requires special craftsmanship to make it, but it has a unique taste that meets its AOC status."

The culinary sub-profession originally has the function of screening ingredients, who is Zhou Yi afraid of? Not to mention these common wines, even if the association brings the nameless private brews of the African indigenous tribes, he can tell the year and the raw materials. Can Louie succeed?

"Moutai. Huaxia liquor, which is as famous as Wuliangye, is as mellow and fragrant as ever, but it is a pity that its value does not match the selling price, just like many goods made in Huaxia. But those goods are dumped at low prices, and it's selling stones, and the price mediator of jade is naughty again, and you add champagne to it? And it's American! Oh my God, it's a chicken-and-duck story. Also, I have to tell you that no matter how bad the Moutai in China is, the champagne made in the United States is a desecration of it. My dear, you don't think a country that's less than 300 years old can make real champagne, do you?

Louis is obviously a **Lancyst, and while belittling Moutai, he trampled on the Americans. Anyway, he was blindfolded, and he couldn't see that Sam's face had turned the color of pig liver.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yi and Louie both tasted four glasses of wine, both of them talked eloquently, extremely fast, involving the type, vintage, and origin of the wine, all of which were all wrong, so that everyone nodded frequently, and began to look forward to the fifth glass of wine, which should be the most difficult to taste.

"Both gentlemen are real master sommesters, and if you were to be bartenders, I'm afraid I'd have to switch to selling cigarettes."

The bartender humorously laughed at himself before throwing a bombshell: "But in the end, this glass is very difficult to taste, and I believe that even the greatest tasters will be helpless." Because it is very difficult to concoct and the most testing of both sides, the fifth glass of wine for both of them is the same, but for the sake of fairness, one of the two must avoid it first, and wait for the other to come back after the tasting, whichever can be said in the most detail, he is the winner of this one. ”

All the judges have tasted this fifth glass of wine, and even if they can't drink it, they have also seen the bartender's answers, so this is the requirement of the jury panel.

"Okay, then I'll avoid it first, and ask Mr. Louis to taste it first."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, untied the blindfolded black cloth, and went to a soundproof room in the hall under the guidance of a service staff.
