"Brother Lin, there is ...... between you and Miss Gu" Sitting in the audience in the studio hall, Liu Mang asked.

"It's nothing, the family is urging to get married. Lin Xiao showed a trace of helplessness on his face: "Her old son only gave birth to an only daughter in her thirties, and now that she is old, she naturally wants to urge her daughter to get married as soon as possible." ”

"Isn't it good to get married?"

"I don't think it's bad, it's just that I'm not used to it. Lin Xiao sighed: "The thought of staying by someone's side for the rest of my life makes me panic. ”

"Love that doesn't aim at marriage is a hooligan. Liu Mang came to a summary.

"Well, we will only disagree on the issue of the relationship between men and women. ”

"Dear spectators, I would like to invite our two contestants today from Bordeaux, France and Hamburg, Germany......"

"That young man is the Abel you said?" Liu Mang asked after looking at the young man in the stands who was no more than thirty years old and still had a childish look on his face.

Well, Abel is 28 years old and is known as the youngest talent in French cooking. ”

Liu Mang came for Abel this time, because he heard Lin Xiao say that this young man is not only an excellent chef, who has become three Michelin stars in a short period of time, but more importantly, he is also a black gold taster.

The profession of black gold wine taster, Li Ruonan mentioned it to Liu Mang a long time ago, it is said that there are no more than ten wine tasters in the world who can be crowned with the title of black gold, and each of them is a leader whose sense of taste and smell far exceeds that of ordinary people.

"Lao Liu, I analyzed it, in this world of chef competition, you can be your opponent, you can count a slap, this Abel is definitely one of them. Lin Xiao looked at Abel on the stage with a relaxed face, and then added: "Moreover, this guy mainly wins by talent, and purely relies on God's food." ”

"There are so many so-called geniuses in the world, I never thought of myself as the best in the world. ”

"We also have a heavyweight guest here today, he is the current director of the Louvre Museum in Paris - Mr. Jean-Luc Martinez!"

A middle-aged man in a dark linen suit and black-rimmed glasses walked up to the stage and took the microphone from the host's hand: "Good evening, everyone." ”

"Mr. Martinez, I wonder you have prepared the artist's masterpiece for our two contestants this time?"

"Today's exhibit is special because its author is still a mystery to this day, but that doesn't stop it from being the greatest artwork in human history......"

"What kind of painting is it?" Hearing Martinez say this, the audience below pricked up their ears and their curiosity was aroused.

"Actually, before you even entered, this treasure was already on the scene. Martinez walked to the side of the hall, where there was a huge steel shelf, covered with a white silk cloth, and it was impossible to see what it was.

"Could it be a statue?" Lin Xiao thought for a while, and suddenly became excited: "Obediently, you won't move the treasure of the Louvre, right?"

"The treasure of the Louvre, the statue of Samothrace Nikai?" Liu Mang was also surprised.

"Chef, is this statue you mentioned famous? Why have I never heard of it?" asked Shan Jian, who was sitting next to Liu Mang.

"Samothrace Nikai, you may not have heard of this name, but you have always heard of the goddess of victory, haven't you?"

"You mean, the headless and winged goddess?" Shan Jian instantly understood when he heard the name.

While the goddess of victory is a common motif in Greek sculpture, this one in the Louvre is different. The head and arms of the goddess of victory have been lost, but the viewer can see and feel the majesty of the goddess from any angle. ”

"I knew about this statue when I was in school, and I thought I would go to the Louvre one day, but I didn't expect to see it in person today. ”

"Wow!" As the curtain was lifted, the audience below erupted into a commotion, and this heirloom sculpture was really displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

The statue is leaning forward and spreading its wings, the windswept dress is close to the body, which can conceal the perfection of the female body, and the folds of the dress form a dense line, full of vivid and smooth movement, showing a leap of life.

The statue of the goddess of victory is full of life, even if it is mutilated, but it is made up in people's imagination and has obtained a complete aesthetic enjoyment.

"It's really beautiful!" staring at the statue on the stage, Liu Mang's heart throbbed.

This is a natural expression of the desire for beauty in the heart.

"Lao Liu, if you were to make a dish based on this statue, what would you do?" Lin Xiao asked.

"It's hard, it's hard. Liu Mang's eyes were completely attracted by the statue on the stage: "This statue is so perfect that it is difficult to match ordinary dishes." ”

"I thought it would be difficult for us to do that, but who would have thought that the Louvre would be willing to take out this statue?" Lin Xiao gloated a little: "This is good, if the dish is made too often, even if you win, it will be a shame!"

"The most difficult thing is that this statue of the goddess is named in the name of victory, and it is not as good as the painting, the color has a natural fit with the dish, if you want to find the artistic conception and make the dish from it......" He Donglin also shook his head again and again.

"Two contestants, please look at the statue. The host said.

"Okay. David Koch, the chef from Hamburg, Germany, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, walked up to the statue, squinted his eyes, and looked closely.

"Mr. Abel, you can go and see the statue. Seeing Abel standing motionless, the host said.

"No, I don't. Unexpectedly, Abel shook his head slightly: "I've already figured out what to cook." ”

"Damn, this Abel is really arrogant!" Lin Xiao blurted out.

"No, I don't think I can see this statue much. Liu Mang replied.

"Why?" Lin Xiao was surprised: "Shouldn't you watch it carefully and seriously appreciate the artistic conception that the author wants to express?"

"I would have looked at it more than I normally would, but not now. This statue of the goddess of victory is so perfect that even if you look at it for three days and three nights, you can't see enough. Now that time is limited, if you watch too much, you will put yourself in a desperate situation where you have nowhere to start, and you don't know what to do. ”

"So what do you think should be done?"

"There is only one way, grasp the first image, and then use this image to make the corresponding dishes. ”

"Chef, what is the first image?" Shan Jian said curiously.

"To put it simply, the first image is the feeling of seeing the statue for the first time, and this feeling is the purest and most impressive. This Abel is very smart!"
