"Master Liu Mang, it's great that you can come. Just as Liu Mang and Lin Xiao were chatting energetically, a man wearing a peaked cap ran over, held his hand and said.

"Director Wang, hello. Liu Mang said with a smile.

This man's name is Wang Dingquan, and Liu Mang's previous "Wilderness Adventure" and "Challenge the God of Cooking" were both directed by him.

"Director Wang, I want to make an opinion. Lin Xiao raised a finger.

"Oh, you say. ”

"Your program team's boxed lunch is too unpalatable. I'm still hungry. Lin Xiao looked bitter and complained.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Wang Dingquan apologized again and again: "We will improve this in the future." ”

After greeting for a while, Wang Dingquan led Liu Mang and them to the audience at the bottom of the stage.

"Master Liu Mang, please wait a while, when the stage is arranged, the show will start recording immediately. Wang Dingquan said hello and went busily.

Now the stage is full of people, and the staff in overalls carry all kinds of pots and pans and ingredients to the stage.

"Brother Lin, are there any restrictions on this final competition?" asked Liu Mang.

"Nope. Lin Xiao shook his head: "I'm afraid the only restriction is the ingredients, and I can only use the ingredients provided by the program team to cook." ”

"Oh. ”

"Lao Liu, have you thought about what to cook?" Lin Xiao, who was sitting next to Liu Mang, turned sideways and asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Liu Mang shook his head: "Let's talk about it then." ”

"Hey, isn't he the French chef he is today?" asked Five Eyes, pointing to the side of the stage.

This foreigner is not tall, with black hair and blue eyes, wearing a white chef's uniform, and is walking towards the audience under the guidance of a tall hostess.

"Well, yes. Lin Xiao nodded: "He is Aaron Barsad, the new chef god of France this year." ”

"Do you want to go over and say hello? Seeing Aaron Basad sitting down not far from them, Liu Mang thought.

Unexpectedly, after Aaron Basad sat down, he glanced at Liu Mang's side, and took the initiative to get up and walk over here.

"Hello, is it Mr. Liu Mang?" Aaron Basad walked up to Liu Mang and asked in very awkward Chinese.

Liu Mang stood up and nodded with a smile: "Yes, you must be Mr. Aaron Basad." ”

"Oh, Mr. Liu Mang, I didn't expect you to be so young! No wonder Miss Dale said that you are the youngest culinary genius in history. Bassad's tone was somewhat exaggerated.

"Miss Dai'er?" Liu Mang was stunned: "Who is she?"

"Mr. Bassard, is the Miss Dale you call the one from the Max family?" Lin Xiao interjected.

"Well, yes, now I'm the private chef of the Max family. Barsad replied.

"Lao Liu, don't you remember the time we went to the United States to cook for Francis of the Addams family? Wasn't there a blonde girl after the banquet?" Lin Xiao poked Liu Mang's arm and whispered in his ear.

"Oh. I know. Liu Mang understood.

After that banquet, Dai'er also went to the food festival, and Liu Mang also made a cameo appearance as a tour guide at that time.

It's just that the foreigner's name is more awkward, and Liu Mang didn't remember it for a while.

"Mr. Bassard, when you see Miss Dyer again, please greet her for me. Liu Mang, who came back to his senses, hurriedly opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassment.

"Definitely. Basad bowed slightly: "I am very much looking forward to Mr. Liu Mang's dishes." ”

"Me too. ”

After Basad left, Lin Xiao looked at Liu Mang with wide eyes, and his heart was furious.

"What are you doing?" asked Liu Mang.

"Lao Liu, are you pretending?" Lin Xiao laughed.

"What are you pretending?" Liu Mang looked dazed.

"Cut, come less!" Lin Xiao pouted: "I don't believe in such a hot body, you won't remember the great beauty I see pitiful." Besides, when I saw that Miss Dale at that time, I wanted to stick to you. Don't you have any impression?"

"You think I'm you. Liu Mang glared at Lin Xiao angrily: "I was only thinking about cooking at the time, so I didn't care what others looked like." ”

"Guys, the show is about to start. "A staff member came over.

"Lao Liu, you haven't thought about what to cook yet?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"You say, what kind of dish is the most representative of China?"

"Can best represent China?" Lin Xiao thought for a while: "There are too many famous dishes in China, if you have to cite one, it is too difficult." ”

"yes. Five-eyed counted on his fingers: "Roast duck, dumplings, hot pot, ramen...... The list is endless. ”

"That's right! Each of the eight major cuisines can come up with several kinds of dishes that support the façade. Unlike France, the first thing that comes to mind is foie gras and snails. Dongying thinks of sushi, Korea thinks of kimchi, and the UK thinks of fish and chips......"

"I think of something that is unique to China. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"What is unique to China?" Lin Xiao and Five Eyes hurriedly asked.

"Tofu! Only tofu is eaten in the north and south of China, and it is spread overseas. ”

"Yes! Why didn't I think about it!" Lin Xiao slapped his palm: "It's indeed tofu, and only Chinese can make tofu." ”

"There are more dishes that can be made with tofu, boss, do you want to get another one?" asked Goyan.

"There is only one thing in Chinese cuisine to make tofu to the highest level......

"Chrysanthemum tofu!" Lin Xiao and Five Eyes said in unison.

"Xiao Wu, do you still remember what He Donglin did in the Chef God Contest to 'Picking Chrysanthemums under the East Fence'?"

"Boss, do you mean the tofu that has been fried in oil and then topped with a sauce?"

"Chrysanthemum tofu fried in oil?" Lin Xiao was taken aback: "The tofu is so finely cut, won't it become a ball when fried in oil?"

Chrysanthemum tofu can be said to be one of the most skillful dishes in Chinese cuisine.

For thinly sliced tofu to be shaped into a chrysanthemum, every movement must be extremely gentle, let alone fried in a pan of oil.

In the last Chef God Contest He Donglin, Lin Xiao happened to be absent and did not see the production process.

"He cut it coarsely, and he used olive oil to cook it at a low temperature. Liu Mang explained.

"Oh, that's right. When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately understood.

If you cut it coarsely and set it slowly with cold oil, he can do it.

"Speaking of which, He Donglin's last 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence' really makes me remember it vividly. Both the creativity and taste of the dishes are breathtaking. Since I have this opportunity today, I want to replicate it once, and then combine it with my own imagination to transform it. ”

"Okay, do you want me to help?" Lin Xiao asked.

"No, I can do it alone. Liu Mang refused with a smile.
