"What do I understand as winter?" Liu Mang smiled slightly: "It's all in this dessert in front of you, master." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Really? Then I'll have to try it. Ida picked up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

After a moment of coolness, the sweet taste moistens the mouth, and the tadpole grains made of glutinous rice gently bounce between the teeth, and a faint floral fragrance wafts from the lips.

"It's really good, I didn't expect Liu Mangjun to add cherry blossoms to this dessert. ”

Ida Huaishu closed his eyes slightly, tapped the mouth of the bowl with chopsticks, and hummed a song in Chinese to the rhythm.

If there are no cherry blossoms in the world, the mood is more relaxed and peaceful. If you don't look forward to the flowering news, where and when will you see the shadows? The flowers are even more sad......

This is a very famous poem of Dongying, but after being translated into Chinese, it loses its original rhyme. After singing, Ida explained.

"Master, what do you think of my dishes, is there anything that needs to be improved?"

"Overall, it's very good! not only the taste but also the artistic conception, it can be regarded as a first-class work. Still, I always felt like something was missing. Ida Huaishu thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, I think so too. Liu Mang nodded: "This is the artistic conception dish I recently created, not only the 'spiritual cuisine' used to fight against the chaos in Pingchuan, but also the direction I will decide to develop in the future." ”

"Artistic conception dish?" Wu Jing and Five Eyes, who were eating heavily, raised their heads at the same time and asked.

"Well, during this time I came to Dongying, I think that if Chinese cuisine wants to really go to the world, it must go through a deeper packaging. Using dishes as the medium, the freehand of Chinese painting and the assembly techniques of Chinese bonsai are used to enhance the artistic conception of traditional and innovative Chinese cuisine, so as to achieve "one dish and one artistic conception", focusing on reflecting the beauty of the artistic conception of Chinese classical literature, and presenting diners with the charm and poetic space of scene blending and virtual and real. ”

"That's a good idea!" Ida Huaishu clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Chinese culture is already broad and profound, and it has influenced many neighboring countries, and integrating this culture into the dishes can enhance the style of the dishes." ”

"But it's easier said than done!" Liu Mang sighed.

"Why? I see that the four dishes made by Liu Mangjun today imply the charm of classical Chinese culture. Jiro Ida was surprised.

"Of course I'm okay on my own, but it's not enough to be alone. If you want to learn this kind of artistic conception cuisine, in addition to excellent cooking skills, you must also have a certain study of traditional Chinese culture, which is something that many Chinese chefs can't do now. ”

"Haha, Rome wasn't built in a day!" Ida Huaishu sandwiched a piece of buckle meat and put it into his mouth: "I believe that with people like Liu Mangjun as an example, more and more people will join this industry in the future, and they will try to accept this practice." ”

"It's also ......"

Early the next morning......

"Liu Mangjun, good morning!" "Hachiro Yamano was dressed up in great spirits today, wearing a straight suit, and his hair was shiny.

"Mr. Yamano, I was looking for you. Liu Mang spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth and rinsed his mouth.

"Oh, what are you looking for me?".

"Although I agreed to your gambling fight, but you always have to come up with some chips, and how to determine the winner of the fight?

"Liu Mangjun, I came to you today to discuss this matter. Hachiro Yamano pulled a chair and sat down, and took out a photo from his bag: "We will be ready for a long time before the bet, and Liu Mangjun will definitely be satisfied." ”

Liu Mang took the photo, glanced at it, and was taken aback: "Is this the "Jinling Recipe"? or two copies? Where did you get it?"

"Don't ask, it's the real deal. Yamano Hachiro had a little smug on his face: "Our president said that in addition to taking out the secret recipe of Wuye Shaoou's 'clear juice', Liu Mangjun also has to tell the last ingredient on the secret of puffer fish." ”

"That's fine. Liu Mang readily agreed: "Two for two, it's fair." ”

"It's not a change! It's a gamble!" Yamano Hachiro corrected: "If Liu Mangjun loses, then he must fulfill his promise." ”

"Heh, are you still afraid that I won't be able to cheat? But you, I'm very worried!"

"This Liu Mangjun, please don't worry, we will sign a gambling agreement before the competition starts. ”

"So how do you ensure the impartiality of the game? This is the most important issue for me at the moment. Liu Mang then asked.

"We're going to have a judges' voting system, where the judges will taste the dishes after the allotted time is over, and the judges will decide which dish wins. ”

"Who are the judges?"

"The judges are all celebrities from all walks of life. Hachiro Yamano replied.

"You invited them?" Liu Mang frowned.

"yes, is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem, how do I know if these people have been bought by you in advance?" Liu Mang refused: "I don't agree with this way of judging. ”

"Liu Mangjun, please rest assured, we will not do anything to the judges. ”

"That's not good, why don't you invite Chinese celebrities? Wouldn't that show your fairness?"

"Then does Liu Mangjun have any good suggestions?" Seeing Liu Mang's resolute attitude, Jiro Ida had no choice but to ask.

"This ......" Liu Mang thought about it: "Why don't you use passers-by and randomly select passers-by to taste the dishes." ”

"We've already discussed this method, but Mr. Hirakawa doesn't agree to do it. ”

"Why?"

Because he felt that his food could only be tasted by those who knew him, and those passers-by were not qualified enough. ”

"Ha~ It's really hypocritical. Liu Mang sneered: "Then what do you say." ”

"I have a way. While the two were discussing, Jiro Ida interjected.

"Oh, Mr. Jiro, do you have any good ideas?" asked Hachiro Yamano hurriedly.

"We can ask the Michelin judges to judge!"

"Are the Michelin judges different from those upper-class?" asked Liu Mang curiously.

Of course, the Michelin judges are the most mysterious group of people, no one knows how many people they are made up of, only that they are people who work to "eat and enjoy". In addition, in order to maintain its position of absolute impartiality and authority, Michelin does not accept any advertising sponsorship, and redivides the inspectors into inspection areas every year, so it is difficult to be bought. ”

"Well, I've heard that, as if the nature of their work is the same as that of secret agents, and they are never allowed to reveal their identities, so no one knows what nationality they are. Liu Mang thought for a moment: "This method is good, but how to contact them?"

"It's easy to do, in addition to judging restaurants, Michelin also ranks some chefs, and we can apply directly to their headquarters and ask them to arrange some judges to make a fair judgment on this showdown. ”

"I agree with this method, but what about you?" Liu Mang raised his head and asked.

"I'll give the president a call. Hachiro Yamano bowed slightly, took out his phone and walked to the window.

After a while, he walked back: "Mr. Liu Mang, our president has agreed, and we can invite Michelin judges to decide the outcome of this gambling battle." ”
