Chapter 710: Life and Death Love (I)
Before Liu Mang didn't use the light to illuminate the clouds, everyone in the hall didn't associate this dish with the sunrise, but when the mystery was revealed, everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that dishes can do the same, not only on the plate, but also off the plate.
"Smack. Liu Mang pressed the flashlight and returned the plate to the table.
"Mr. Renzo Piano, please try it. ”
"Mr. Liu Mang, is Chinese food so magical?" Renzo Piano sighed as he looked at the clouds on his plate.
Compared with Mark Boris's simple copying, Liu Mang's performance just now is simply a lively drama.
"Not exactly, but today's competition was also a tough challenge for me. Liu Mang said with a smile.
Surprisingly, instead of using a knife and fork, Renzo Piano picked up a cloud in the plate with his hand and gently recited a poem that has been widely used in the West to describe the sun, when it appears, the whole world loses its luster.
As soon as you enter the mouth, the fluffy skin of the cloud immediately crumbles into slag, and the sweetness of the shrimp meat inside and the wisp of tea fragrance contained in it quickly linger in the mouth.
This aroma goes from the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue to the throat, and then goes up, through the throat, and then to the nasal cavity, and the unique wheat aroma of black tea makes people feel like they are bathed in the sun.
The taste of this dish is the same as the dish presented by Liu Mang just now, full of a dreamy atmosphere, which makes the wrinkles on Renzo Piano's face stretch.
"I wonder what clouds smell like. "Many viewers in the audience showed intoxicated expressions when they saw the judges tasting the 'clouds' made by Liu Mang, and most of them were very yearning in their hearts.
"Mr. Liu Mang, you just said that this dish has the same artistic conception as a Chinese poem, what is that poem called, can you say it again?" one of the judges couldn't help but stand up and asked.
"Oh, that poem is well-known in our China, the original text is 'The sea rises and the moon rises, and the end of the world is at this time'. Liu Mang recited the poem in Chinese and then explained it in English.
It roughly means that a bright moon rises in the vast and boundless sea, reminding people of relatives and friends who are far away at the ends of the earth, and at this moment they should also look at the same moon and bathe in this moonlight together. ”
"The moon rises in the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. The judge learned Liu Mang's tone and stammered Chinese to read it, and then nodded repeatedly: "What a great verse, what a beautiful dish!"
The applause rang out again, just because of Liu Mang's dish and poem, everyone in the hall at this moment was already intoxicated with the beautiful artistic conception of Chinese culture.
"Mr. Mark, didn't you say that our Chinese food was a roadside stall before, but now I see that the judges seem to be very satisfied. Lin Xiao walked up to Mark Boris and said.
"It's too early for you to draw conclusions, the judges haven't started voting yet. Mark Boris said this, in fact, a heart has already sunk to the bottom, when Liu Mang's electric light turned on, he knew that he had lost.
Sure enough, when the voting results came out, Liu Mang actually got all nine votes and successfully entered the next round.
"Mr. Liu Mang, if you have time, welcome to visit my museum, there are many art treasures there, which will definitely inspire you. Renzo Piano held Liu Mang's hand, and there was unconcealed appreciation in his eyes.
Renzo Piano felt that Liu Mang's dishes just now really grasped the essence of Monet's paintings, and at the same time, he also saw the artistic quality in his heart.
"Thank you, I'll go. ”
…………
"Did you see Mark Boris's expression? It's so cool!" Everyone returned to the hotel, Lin Xiao was still excited.
"Lao Liu, how did you come up with the idea of using lights to decorate this dish? ”
"Hmm...... Actually, I didn't think much of it. Because Monet's paintings borrow color and light to express the subtle changes of the picture. And our dishes are three-dimensional, different from the canvas, so I wanted to use the ready-made lighting directly, but I didn't expect it to be quite successful. ”
"Chef, why do the clouds change color under the light? I know it's because of the black tea, but it's obviously white when it is fried. Shan Jian asked again.
"The relationship of proportion. The ratio of egg whites and black tea must be precise to maintain a delicate balance. In this way, what looks white at first glance will only turn red when the light shines. ”
"How much?"
"It's about one to nine, and when I have time, I'll teach you slowly. ”
"Okay. ”
Everyone got on the elevator while talking, and when they reached the door of the suite on the top floor, they found a tall girl leaning against the door of the room.
"Damn!" When Lin Xiao, who got out of the elevator, saw it, he immediately burst into a foul language and hid behind Liu Mang.
"Miss Gu, why are you here?" Liu Mang smiled and stepped forward.
"I happened to be in Paris on a business trip, so I stopped by. Gu Qianyao glanced at Lin Xiao, who was shrinking behind Liu Mang, and replied.
"Come on, we've just finished the race. Liu Mang pulled Lin Xiao and opened the door.
"Chef, I'm going to make tea. Waiting for the door, Shan Jian said.
"Uh...... I went to the shower and slept. He Donglin felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and also said.
"I'm a little hungry, I'm going to make something to eat, and you guys talk first. Liu Mang rubbed his hands and walked to the kitchen.
Although he didn't know what happened to the rivals, Liu Mang felt that it was better to stay away.
"Lao Liu!" Lin Xiao shouted, signaling Liu Mang not to leave.
"Master Liu Mang, I'm hungry too, I haven't eaten what you made for a long time, can I make more?" Gu Qianyao said.
"I'll do it right away. Avoiding Lin Xiao's complaining eyes, Liu Mang walked straight into the kitchen.
"Chef Lin, Master Lin and Miss Gu?" Shan Jian, who was holding a teapot, widened his eyes, and the fire of gossip was burning.
"Who knows, maybe it's awkward again. Liu Mang had a accustomed expression: "You're hungry too, what do you want to eat?"
"Anything goes. ”
"Okay, I'll see what else is in the kitchen. Liu Mang opened the refrigerator: "Hey, who put a fish in it?
There is a tank of clean water in the fresh-keeping trough on the upper level of the refrigerator, and a live fish is swimming in it.
"It was Master Lin who put it, and yesterday he went to the market and said that live flounder is rare in Paris, so he bought it back and prepared to be steamed and eaten. ”
"That's a good idea. Liu Mang poked the back of the fish with his hand, and the fish immediately bounced out of a splash.
The refrigerator cooler lowers the temperature and allows the fish to survive for a long time if they are put in water.
"Okay, I'll steam you later. ”
