The bartender from Champagne province is estimated to have riveted with Zhou Yi Louis, and he showed his whole body tricks, throwing the shaker up and down, as if playing acrobatics. With this skill, you can directly sound the gong and make a little money when you pull it to the overpass.

I don't know how many kinds of wine he mixed in, after the wine was poured into the wine glass, it looked like liquid gold through the wine glass, and there was a thick foam on it, if it was not champagne, was it an ordinary sparkling wine?

Anyone who has lived in France knows the true meaning of 'Champagne'. According to French law, sparkling wine must be produced in accordance with the specified production methods and processes selected by the Champagne province in order to be labeled champagne, even if it is produced in Burgundy or Alsace, which are also in France.

In order to preserve the honor of Champagne and commemorate the sigh of Queen Mary, the French, who are least interested in the truth, even fought a protracted international lawsuit with the Yankees, because the Yankees once marked the glorious title of 'Champagne' on inferior sparkling wines. In the eyes of the French who love wine, this is 10,000 times more serious than insulting Joan of Arc, when the French rooster is serious, even the European Union has to pass a special 'Champagne Law', after the promulgation of this law, the real sense of champagne can only be produced in the French province of Champagne.

It's not the first time that the French have been proud of Champagne, not to mention that this bartender is from the Champagne province, so even if you think with your toes, everyone knows that he will never spoil the noble champagne like this. But look at the color of the wine. What would it be if it wasn't champagne? A cocktail made with sparkling wine, which can also be called extremely difficult to make?

The bartender is clearly not prepared to solve the doubts in everyone's minds right now. With a grin, he handed the glass to Louis and hugged his shoulders to wait for the result. This action shows his extreme conceit.

"Well, this wine"

Louis shook his glass, but instead of his previous confidence, he took a sip of wine and savored it in his mouth.

"Are you sure this is a concoction?"

"Mr. Louie, it's you, not me, who are going to race"

Hear Louie's question. The bartender smiled even wider.

Louis frowned, and began to take a second, third, and then there was a long silence, as if to reminisce about the deliciousness of the wine. It seems that there is some uncertainty about it.

"Mr. Louie, do you have an answer now?"

Bartenders feel like they're the stars. Louis was the winner of the Silver Spoon Award at the French Cooking Competition.

"Hehe, Leon, you are a cunning man, but unfortunately your little wit is useless to me. ”

Almost as soon as he drank the wine, Louis laughed: "This is not a cocktail at all, but pure champagne." It is also the 'ice grape' of the acres of vineyards in the eastern part of Champagne, which are harvested in winter, as many of them are frozen. So in the end the amount of champagne that can be used to make champagne is very limited, and the champagne that can be made from it is very difficult to buy in Lyon on the market, and I have to admit that you are a good actor and almost misled me. ”

I see?

The audience suddenly discussed, this bartender is really cunning, it turns out that the dazzling bartending process just now is a lie at all. But Master Louis is Master Louis, and even if the owner of the Silver Spoon Award is blindfolded, he can't be deceived casually.

"You're such an imaginative person"

Leon smiled. Didn't say right or wrong, just like the five secretive judges. Zhou Yi hasn't compared yet, and now is not the time to reveal the answer.

Zhou Yi was blindfolded after walking on stage, and Leon once again showed a juggling bartending technique, but at this moment Louie had already taken off the blindfold. First, he wanted to see Zhou Yi make a fool of himself, and secondly, it was a pity that he didn't see Leon's performance just now.

Watching Leon's performance, Louis felt that this guy was completely on his side, that kind of precious champagne is not to mention a Chinese person, even a French person may not meet it for life, this Chinese boy will definitely be misled, when Leon pours the wine into the shaker, it is all under the countertop, no one can see it.

"Well, good wine!"

Zhou Yi only took a sip and put down the glass: "Mr. Leon is really an amazing bartender, he can make such a delicious cocktail with relatively ordinary wine, just with this hand, you can become a millionaire." ”

"Sure enough, it's a layman. Louis smiled contemptuously, treating the precious iced champagne as an ordinary cocktail, which was a good shot, but Leon was just a bartender, not a judge.

"Layman?"

Zhou Yi smiled: "I haven't finished my words yet, Master Louie." I compliment Monsieur de Lyon on his greatness because he has succeeded in blending almost the best of Champagne with a few wines worth no more than 1,000 francs. It's a blessing for the poor, and with Monsieur de Lyon, even the poor can drink the legendary less than fifty barrels of iced champagne a year."

"What!"

Although he was still confident in himself, Zhou Yi actually called out the name of Champagne Province Ice Brewed Champagne, which made Louis have a bad premonition.

"You, you really drank it. ”

Leon's face was flushed, an expression that could only appear when he saw his confidant and close comrade-in-arms. This Chinese young man is amazing, he is the one who knows himself best, you must know that even most of the judges have been confused by their cocktails, except for the neurotic old Chinese man

"Oh?" He Maniac was dozing off on the table, without any trace of the demeanor that a judge should have, but after listening to Zhou Yi's words, the old man actually raised his head, rubbed his nose, wiped his saliva, and picked out some eye feces.

"Mr. Lyons must have been studying it for a long time, right?"

Zhou Yi smiled and nodded: "Although the grapes used to make ice wine have to bear huge risks in the picking, preservation, and brewing links. And this is an ice wine made from white grapes grown at the foot of the Pyrenees, but the market price is about 500 francs a bottle. It's nowhere near as good as iced champagne. If I'm not mistaken, you're pairing an ice wine with a top Crémant sparkling wine from the Burgundy region to simulate the taste of ice champagne. Mr. Lyons. I have to praise your professionalism and imagination once again, it was not easy to come up with such an idea, not to mention the fact that the two wines must be mixed in a shaker to the point where they are fake. Speed, height, impact force, your control of the bartender is simply to the extent of deification, in the words of our Chinese people, it can be compared to the cow. ”

Zhou Yi is not a sycophant. It's really appreciated. If it weren't for the support of systematic skills, he would have been fooled, just talking about techniques, even if he, a contemporary bacchus, put down his body to bartend. He may not be able to do it better than Lyon, and even more so that a lazy man like him would not try to simulate champagne with ice wine with Crémant sparkling wine, and only Lyon, who is truly obsessed with bartending, would do so.

"Oh, Zhou, you're such a wonderful person. After the competition, hopefully we can become friends and discuss the tricks of bartending together. ”

Lyon has now completely forgotten about the game. Mountains and rivers are hard to find, if Zhou Yi dies, he will definitely drop the shaker, he is so enthusiastic, if it weren't for so many people, he would want to hug this Chinese confidant.

And when Zhou Yi spoke. Madman He was also tilting his head to listen, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he didn't know what crazy thoughts he was thinking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please announce the answers. ”

Listening to Zhou Yi's words, Louis picked up a glass of Lyon's wine again and tasted it carefully, at this time he had already uncovered the blindfolded black cloth, and immediately found that the color of the wine was indeed a little different from the real Champagne Province ice wine, and couldn't help but look at Leon very depressedly, this person is really crazy. What are you doing with this kind of cocktail?

"Mr. Louie should already know the answer, this game is won by Zhou. ”

Sam on the judges' bench spoke first, and when he saw Louie deflated, the old Uncle Mi was very happy.

"Zhou, you're very good. ”

Louie nodded. Although he lost a game, it doesn't mean anything, the chef tastes wine, not to expose deceptions and conspiracies, and it is not a crime of war.

The second game, the race dessert.

Zhou Yi didn't underestimate Louie, but he didn't expect that the chief chef of Paris would also counterattack.

In this game, Zhou Yi made the famous pea yellow in the palace, which is a very representative Chinese dessert, and every step of his production process is impeccable, boiling beans, peeling, and white case kung fu techniques are dazzling, even He Madman can't see it calmly enough, and swallow saliva vigorously.

Wait until the delicate pea yellow is in the mouth, so the judges all provoke the thumbs to incarnate the legend of the hungry wolf, and finally even the plate with pea yellow is licked clean.

Ten points, each judge gave the highest score. He Luozi's gaze at him was even crazier than Leon just now, and Zhou Yidu felt chills in his heart, feeling that he was likely to be more perverted ~ and more difficult than Hong Shangyuan, cherish life, and stay away from madmen

But this one ended in a draw, because Louis made a colostrum ice cream that ordinary Western chefs would not dare to try easily. This kind of colostrum ice cream is the most nutritious, but it is the most difficult to control the taste, because the taste of colostrum is too light, it is difficult to reflect the characteristics of milk ice cream, but Louie is obviously a master of this way, several judges tasted it, and even Sam, who was very uninterested in him, nodded again and again, and it was also very!

It's flat, then it depends on the final pastry battle. At the strong request of the audience, the two will perform one after another, so that everyone can enjoy it carefully and not miss it. This Zhou Yi is relatively easy, as long as it is drawn, it will be won, while Louie has to work hard for Zhou Yi, and he must win.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the pastry I chose is pasta pasta. ”

After glancing at Zhou Yi, Louie finally made a decision.
