Chapter 291: Gourmet

Before going up to the third floor, Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades discussed it and decided to make a very healthy rainbow porridge as a food for the competition on the third floor.

Rainbow porridge is a pot of porridge made with four different colored ingredients: mung bean, pumpkin, pine cone, and longan.

Under the seasoning of Liu Pleiaus, the rainbow porridge made of these nutritious ingredients also has the effect of detoxification, which can be described as a delicious and good food for people's health.

Such cuisine is generally a favorite of those top foodies. Because this group of people can be said to have tasted any food in the world, ordinary food is just food in their eyes.

Only this kind of healthy food will make them give the highest rating.

When everyone climbed to the third floor, they found that there were less than twenty seats on the third floor, except for the cooks' cooking area, and there were about fifteen people sitting in it.

The chefs who went up to the third floor, in addition to Fang Ze and Chef Song, who were promoted from the second floor, there were three other chefs who joined in.

And among the three chefs, there is even a crooked nut.

This crooked nut looks very European, and the expression on his face is more arrogant, and he does not intend to communicate with other people.

"There are foreigners. Mimi was a little excited when she saw a foreign chef, and ran to Fang Ze's ear and said, "I don't know if it's a British chef, I've always heard of this kind of dish like stargazing, but I haven't seen it." If only this chef could make a stargazing dish that would open my eyes. ”

"Not all foreigners are British, okay. Fang Ze asked Mimi to stop talking nonsense, after all, foreigners are not like before these days, and they can't speak Chinese.

Nowadays, foreigners who come to China know a little Chinese, and it would probably be embarrassing if Mimi could understand what Mimi said.

After all, even in Europe, British food doesn't have a very good reputation.

An old European joke, three of the thinnest books in Europe, an English cookbook, a history of the French victory, a German joke book.

Originally, Fang Ze thought that this time, like the previous two times, it would be good to go directly to the competition venue to cook. But the staff came over and led the way for Fang Ze and the others, asking a few people to come to the front of the audience and introduce themselves or something.

After all, the government has been promoting this food festival for a long time, and when it is over, some clips will be broadcast to the outside world to introduce the celebrity chefs who came to participate in the competition.

"Introduce yourself. Fang Ze thought about it and dragged Mimi over, "Wait a while, you will come to the stage and introduce us later." ”

"I, what am I talking about, I don't even know where Ju is downstairs. ”

"You won't brag and you want me to teach you. Fang Ze patted Xiaomi on the back and pushed him up. "You just blow it casually, anyway, others don't know, you just say it casually, they can't really go to Sichuan to investigate our chrysanthemum downstairs at this time. ”

"Oh, well. Mimi began to organize words in her brain quickly with a hint of trepidation.

After the previous chefs finished speaking, it was Fang Ze's turn to do it.

Because Mimi was going to speak, Mimi was at the front when he went up, and he looked like a chef.

However, Fang Ze went up to take a look at the audience, and unexpectedly found that there were three acquaintances sitting in the audience.

One of them is An Ruoxi, the eldest lady who has already gone upstairs. Next to An Ruoxi, there was a person who surprised Fang Ze: Lin Yue, the younger generation of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, and next to Lin Yue sat Han Zhenzhen, whom Fang Ze met in Haiping and once wanted to hook up with Master Wayne.

Fang Ze was not very surprised to see An Ruoxi, but An Ruoxi almost saw Fang Ze as if he had seen a ghost.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Fang Ze standing on the stage, her mouth shape kept changing, as if she was saying, 'How can you be on the stage and become a chef who participates.' ’

However, compared to An Ruoxi, Lin Yue's expression next to An Ruoxi was richer.

This guy was just a little surprised at first to meet Fang Ze, who had become a chef, here, because he had investigated Fang Ze's identity before and knew that Fang Ze was a medical student.

Although both the chef and the doctor carry knives, the occasions when they hold knives are too different, okay?

Before Lin Yue could react, when he turned his head to look, he found that his cousin was talking to Fang Ze with his mouth.

To be honest, Fang Ze really didn't know that An Ruoxi was Lin Yue's cousin, and he didn't know that the house he and his roommate lived in Jinling last time was actually An Ruoxi's.

So when Lin Yue asked him if he knew his cousin, Fang Ze replied that he didn't.

But the world is so small, and the female netizen in Wenbo who intimately called them supper is An Ruoxi.

So Lin Yue misunderstood this time, thinking that Fang Ze was lying to him last time.

However, Fang Ze didn't know such a misunderstanding now, after all, there was a young man next to An Ruoxi besides Lin Yue, so Fang Ze and that young man were An Ruoxi's cousin, and he didn't think of Lin Yue.

After he silently replied to An Ruoxi with a 'guess', his eyes turned around, and he fell on an old man sitting in the middle of the audience, and the sign in front of the old man's table had the word Cai Yi written on it.

This name Fang Ze is a little impressed, even if he doesn't usually pay much attention to the food festival, he knows that this name represents a famous foodie of the Chinese food festival.

Although everyone is familiar with the term gourmet, few people have seen it.

Huaxia is a big foodie, but there are really not many foodies, on the one hand, because Huaxia lacks authoritative and neutral food magazines, and on the other hand, we do not have a rating agency like Michelin.

And the difference between a gourmand and a foodie, to be precise, the difference between a gourmet, a foodie, and a gourmet, someone on Zhihu said so.

The requirement of gourmets is that there must be bamboo in the house and meat in the food. The gourmet's requirement is that he would rather live without bamboo than eat without meat.

The painting style of these two is quite normal, and as a real standard foodie, when I hear the above sentence, the first reaction should be this: Can you eat bamboo?

Therefore, it can be seen that in addition to liking to eat, gourmets also need to have a considerable cultural background.

For example, when ordinary people eat something delicious, they will only say that it is delicious, and no matter how powerful it is, they can say a few words that are very tender, melt in the mouth, and overflow with fresh fragrance.

But a standard foodie, writing words and words, must make the reader immersive, know why the food is delicious, what is done well, and what is not good.

What ingredients are used, what are the particulars of these ingredients, and what are the stories behind them. Basically, you have to have the same level as China on the tip of your tongue.

And now the old man in front of Fang Ze, Cai Yi, is such a gourmet, with a high degree of education, wide knowledge, and a deep understanding of the way of food, and his cooking skills are also good.

So Cai Yi is a standard top gourmet, he has published several food books, although Fang Ze has not read the whole food book, but the few clips he has read do make people want to taste this dish after reading it.

And, of course, the most important point.

A true foodie must have money.

After all, what you get on paper is shallow, and gourmets eat it. Not only to eat the food of China, but also to eat the food of all over the world.

Not only eat street stalls, but also eat the food of Michelin three-star and five-star hotels.

And these are all things that require money. And if you're a professional foodie who makes a living by writing food reviews, then what you say, what you write, and what you recommend will be unfair.

So the real gourmets are very rich themselves, and they just regard food as a hobby, such as Cai Yi mentioned just now, this person has a lot of industries in Hong Kong, and has also invested in movies, and is a rich man with a bit of wealth.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Zhuang Zuyi, a promising and very famous Chinese foodie, although she herself has a master's degree from Columbia University and a doctorate from the University of Washington, she has enough culture, but she is not rich, and she can't taste the food of all over the world.

But it doesn't matter, a woman can have no money herself, but she can become rich by marrying a rich husband.

So she, like Julia Child, a famous American foodie, is married to a rich diplomat, so she also has a lot of money and time to go around the world to taste food.

As for ordinary people, it's better to be a foodie honestly.

At the same time that Fang Ze was looking at Cai Yi, Cai Yi was also looking at Fang Ze. Although Cai Yi was not a judge on the first and second floors, after Fang Ze was unexpectedly promoted on the first floor, he learned through the staff that there was such a chef who was promoted with fried shredded pork with green peppers.

There are a lot of chefs invited to this food festival, but there are only a few celebrity chefs, and the chefs on the first floor actually had to be brushed off on the second floor as everyone originally envisioned, because they definitely didn't think that there would be chefs on the first floor who could advance to the third floor.

But Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades have been advancing all the way to here with the first place, and the combination is still so strange, a young man and a child. It doesn't look like you have a lot of cooking experience, after all, the profession of chef often relies on experience to make real food.

Of course, this is not without its surprises.

Cai Yi thought that he had eaten a few very, very expensive and limited delicacies in a small shop of a pit father. Their chef also seems to be a young man.

After Fang Ze and the others went down, the last one to come up and introduce was the crooked nut chef.

The first sentence of the crooked nut chef almost blew up the scene.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chef Jerome from the UK. What I want to bring you today is real food, not like the hot pot in China, eating food like shoe leather. ”

"Since this foreigner dares to slander our hot pot?!" Lin Xiaoxin heard the foreign chef's argument below, and almost jumped up to hammer the foreign chef immediately.
