"Lao Liu, if it were you, what dishes would you think of when you saw this statue for the first time?" Lin Xiao turned sideways and asked.

"Me?" Liu Mang carefully recalled the picture he felt in his mind when he first saw this statue.

"If it were me, I would choose dessert. ”

"Dessert, why dessert?" said the crowd in amazement.

"What food best represents the joy of returning from victory and the hearts of the soldiers? Liu Mang said with a smile.

"That makes sense! I don't think there's anything more appropriate than dessert. ”

"Lao Liu, Abel and you want to go together. After waiting for a while, Lin Xiao glanced at Abel who was selecting ingredients on the stage and said.

Abel only brought one assistant with him, and at the moment his assistant was moving cheese, eggs, cream and other ingredients to the counter.

"But dessert isn't a meal. Shan Jian objected.

"It doesn't matter, desserts have a much higher status abroad than we do in China, and almost foreigners will eat them after dinner. There are even dedicated pastry chefs and bakers. Unlike us, desserts have been classified as snacks, and they are not valued much at all. Lin Xiao explained.

"Is that German going to make a whole pig? This is a big project!" Seeing that the German chef who was fighting against Abel chose a suckling pig weighing dozens of pounds to come back, He Donglin said.

Well, he was right in his choice, in the West, only on very important occasions, he would serve whole cooked food, such as turkey, roast suckling pig, etc. Maybe this guy wants to show the scene of people celebrating after the victory through a big dish. Lin Xiao said again.

By this time, Abel and his assistant were already busy. He first knocks a basket of eggs into the basin, then removes the yolk and begins to beat it with a blender.

The German chef opposite Hans, on the other hand, used a flamespray gun to cauterize the whole body of the suckling pig, and then coated it with thick honey.

"The roast pig in the West is just like that, and it can't be compared with what our Cantonese chef made. Lin Xiao pouted: "In addition to cooking techniques, it is also related to ingredients." ”

"What's the matter? Is it a different type of pig?" asked Shan Jian.

"First, they don't know how to castrate, and the animals they raise have a strong smell of hair. The second reason is that there will be no bleeding when slaughtered, and the meat will be very woody when roasted, so it is not delicious at all. ”

"Speaking of suckling pigs, I just came up with a recipe before I came to France. He Donglin took over the conversation: "This recipe is taken from 'Huai'an Steamed Pig'." About 30 catties of piglets are selected, and after slaughtering, the whole pig is pickled with licorice, tangerine peel, Huoxiang, cinnamon branches and other spices and traditional Chinese medicine. It has been marinated for a day and a night, and then steamed on the stove. Steam for eight hours until the skin is soft and the meat is rotten, and finally the bones are dismantled and dipped in a special dipping dish......"

"Lao He, don't say it, I'm hungry to death. Lin Xiao swallowed and foamed: "Lao Liu, let's cook table dishes and eat tomorrow, I've been eating Western food lately, and I'm about to vomit." ”

During this time, in line with the purpose of learning from other people's strengths, Liu Mang asked Lin Xiao to lead everyone to eat all over the well-known restaurants in Paris, but rarely cooked in person.

"Okay, what do you want to eat? We'll make it ourselves tomorrow." ”

"Whatever, it's better to have more meat. ”

Beat the egg yolk until thick, Abel put a saucepan on the shelf, add water and a certain proportion of white sugar, and stir slowly with a spoon.

"This person doesn't want to be tiramisu. Among Liu Mang's people, only Shan Jian has learned white cases and Western-style pastries.

"Do you see that?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Well, tiramisu I used to do it a lot, and every detail was clear. Shan Jian nodded.

Tiramisu is an Italian dessert with a hint of coffee wine. Mascarpone cheese is used as the main ingredient, and finger biscuits are used instead of the traditional dessert sponge cake, adding coffee, cocoa powder and other ingredients. When you eat it, it is fragrant, smooth, sweet, and greasy, and there is a change in texture in the softness, and the taste is not blindly sweet.

"It occurred to me that in Western desserts, there really is nothing more triumphant than tiramisu. ”

"What's the matter?"

"This dessert comes from Italy, it is said that during the First World War, an Italian soldier was about to go to the battlefield, but there was nothing left at home, and his wife, who loved him, in order to prepare dry food for him, made all the biscuits and bread that could be eaten in the family into a pastry, and that pastry was called tiramisu. Whenever this soldier eats tiramisu on the battlefield, he thinks of his home and his loved ones. In Italian, tiramisu means 'take me away'. ”

"So it also means praying for victory?"

"Yes, but because this dessert is so famous, almost everyone in the West has eaten it, but I'm afraid it's hard to make a new idea. ”

"Sometimes it's not important to be new, if you have the best taste in your hand, then the old and the new can change at will. Don't forget, Abel's other identity is a black gold taster. ”

"Lao Liu, then you mean to say that Abel will win this time?"

"Of course, the pros and cons of the topic were already identified at the beginning. This rule of cooking through the observation of artworks is not only a test of cooking skills, but also a question of the chef's ingenuity and pursuit of beauty. A greasy roast pig or a refreshing dessert, which is more compatible with the goddess of victory? ”

"We have another round next!I don't know what kind of things we will encounter, who came up with this rule, it's too grinding!" Lin Xiao scratched his hair, very annoyed.

"I like the rules very much, at least the game is very enjoyable. Liu Mang stared at the statue of the goddess of victory on the stage, his eyes blazing.

The juice boiled to cool, and Abel slowly added the beaten egg yolk while stirring with a blender.

Beat the egg yolk paste and pour it into a large bowl for later use, Abel then took some mascarpone cheese and whipped it with a blender.

Scarpone cheese is a "fresh cheese" formed by fermenting fresh milk and curdling it, and then removing some of the water. The degree of softness and firmness is between whipped cream and cream cheese, with a slight sweetness and a soft acidity. The taste is similar to that of homemade yogurt by the Mongolians.

"Tiramisu, why didn't I think of that?" In the judges' bench, many of the judges had already seen what Abel was going to do.

"Well, only the sweet tiramisu can compare to the joy and happiness that this goddess of victory brings. ”

"I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to this dessert ......"
