VIP seats.
"Zheng Jun's knife work is very good. "Kosuke Mizuhara saw Zheng Ke's actions in handling the cod, far more than he imagined.
"Not really. Xuan Li smiled proudly. Last year's summer vacation. I have taught Zheng Ke knife work for a long time, coupled with more than a year of hard work, it can be said that among the younger generation, Zheng Ke's knife work is already outstanding.
"It's just that Zheng Jun's cuisine seems to be Western food...... I remember that his Chinese cuisine was better. Kosuke Mizuhara recalled that a few months ago, he tried Zheng Ke's boiling water cabbage, and the delicious taste made him taste it for three days.
"His western food is also good. This time it was Shiraishi Ryuichi's turn to smile.
"Could it be that Zheng Ke's Western food is ...... you," Kosuke Mizuhara suddenly realized.
"Cut, obviously because I went to France Lanji during the holidays, what does it have to do with you?" Xuan Li muttered quietly.
"Shut up! That's what I laid for him. Bai Shilong's eyebrows furrowed, as if he was about to get angry.
Of course, Xuan Li knew that Bai Shi Longyi couldn't be angry, so he stuck out his tongue at Bai Shi.
"Ahem...... The two chefs, Chef Kikuchi, also seem to be very good at cooking. Among this group, the youngest Takeshi Ueda paid the most attention to the game, and he always stared at Kikuchi Yuanguo, for fear that her cooking would surpass Zheng Ke.
From the current point of view, his concerns are not superfluous, and Kikuchi Sono's cooking techniques are almost more than any chef he has ever seen.
"Well, we've seen that too. No matter how talented Zheng Ke is, in the face of Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo, who is good at Western food, the probability of him winning is still no more than fifty percent. Bai Shilong sighed, his brows furrowed.
Huh?
Takeshi Ueda looked at the other three people, and each of them had a tense face.
They are optimistic about Zheng Ke's future, but they are not optimistic about Zheng Ke winning this game.
Takeshi Ueda clenched his fists and looked at the arena below, Zheng Ke, must ...... Come on!
The wooden shovel in Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo's hand constantly turned over the beef in the pot, and the rich fragrance escaped with the water vapor, and the audience sitting nearby could even smell the fragrance of the beef, and their faces were flushed.
"It smells so good. ”
"Yes, I didn't have the opportunity to taste the aroma of beef, but when I could smell it, I felt empowered. ”
When the beef in the pot was both sides, Kikuchi Sono immediately picked up the pan, poured off the excess hot oil, and put the chopped vegetables into the pan and stir-fried.
It was only then that Kikuchi Enguo breathed a sigh of relief. looked up at Zheng Ke opposite.
Of course, she knew that the title of the game was in her favor, but, for some reason, there was always a trace of uneasiness in her heart.
Is it not self-confidence?
Kikuchi Enguo himself didn't know the answer.
Zheng Ke picked up the soup pot and filtered the soup with a strainer. This may be a recipe for the flavor of the soup, but the result is a purer dish.
During the trial production, Zheng Ke found that even if he was careful, there would be sand particles in the soup. To avoid this, he had to choose a strainer and strain the soup.
After getting a relatively clean soup, Zheng Ke added saffron and pepper to the soup, and according to his previous experience, did not put salt into the pot. Then, continue to boil the broth.
Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Ke took out a piece of wood from the cart, put it in a pot, and heated the iron pot.
"Smoked?" Ferdinand, who was sitting in the middle of the judges' seat, looked at Zheng Ke with interest, "Although this method is also common, it is rarely used in competitions. ”
"Hey, it's flashy, it's the right thing to think about how to cook well. Claire pouted, he believes in delicious food, but many times, chefs ignore the deliciousness of food for the sake of skill.
"Natori-sensei, what do you think of these two contestants? As a Japanese person, you should have more say in these two chefs, right?" Ferdinand looked at Natori Ann on his right.
"I know the older generation of chefs, and I don't know them well with the new generation of chefs. However, I think they need to keep learning if they want to make delicious dishes. Natori closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Old stubborn.
Ferdinand and Claire thought of the word at the same time.
"However, having said that, I always felt that the female chef's cooking skills were more solid, and I don't know if it was an illusion. Claire looked at Kikuchi-sono.
Spice bunch, beef stock, diced tomatoes......
Various ingredients are poured into the pot one after another to boil, and the strong aroma still emerges outward.
"Did you guess what she's going to cook?" asked Claire, too.
"I have the impression that this dish is also a masterpiece of Italian cuisine, I wonder how much this female chef can do?" Ferdinand said softly, narrowing his eyes.
……
In Paris, it was noon.
Catherine deliberately skipped a lesson in order to watch today's game. After waking up, she didn't have time to change out of her pajamas, so she immediately turned on the computer and stared intently at the screen.
The day before yesterday, after the call with Zheng Ke was interrupted, she also made a few calls to Zheng Ke, but she didn't get through, and while worrying about Zheng Ke, she was also curious about the cuisine Zheng Ke chose.
Zheng Ke's previous cooking process made Catherine feel a little surprised, she thought that Zheng Ke would choose fish soup, but in the end, Zheng Ke chose thick soup.
Using the umami flavor of clams and mixing them with ingredients such as saffron and cream can indeed achieve good results. But what about the follow-up?
If it does make a thick soup, the dish is likely to fail. Because the taste of clams is delicious, but as the main ingredient, it is still a little thin, and it cannot compete with the heaviness of beef.
However, when Zheng Ke began to smoke cod, Catherine suddenly realized that cod was the main ingredient used by Zheng Ke.
There is a thick soup, and with smoked cod, it is indeed a great dish to go with.
Zheng Ke on the screen keeps cooking, and every step seems to be engraved in his mind, flowing to all parts of his body along with the blood. Even, a lot of actions are done without thinking. The next step was taken directly.
Concentration: Only a strong concentration can do this.
Although Zheng Ke's cooking speed is very fast, the quality of the heat, knife work, and cooking are all at a very high level. Catherine's only concern was Zheng Ke's physical strength.
In such a high-intensity competition, can Zheng Ke's physical strength really keep up?
Through the screen, Catherine could barely see that the clothes on Zheng Ke's body were already soaked with sweat.
Like Zheng Ke, Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo is also gritting his teeth and insisting.
They all put all their bets on this match. Those who win will get glory and promotion places, while those who lose may affect the next game.
Whether it is Zheng Ke or Kikuchi Yuanguo, in a state of physical exhaustion, it is really difficult to defeat the Australian player. So—
Zheng Ke, please be sure to come on.
Catherine crossed her index fingers and prayed silently in her heart.
