Episode 314 Enough Scores

"Morels?"

Que Zhengqing, who was standing in the audience, touched his chin and looked at Zheng Ke on the judges' seat, not understanding why he chose this ingredient.

Morel mushroom is a very precious mushroom, but it has a strange appearance, its surface is covered with uneven folds, like a sheep's tripe.

It is rare not because of its appearance, but because morels have a high nutritional value, containing seven essential amino acids for humans, as well as a variety of vitamins, and morels grow in a unique environment - usually after wildfires in mountains.

Xiao Han nodded slightly, and the spoon in his hand scooped up a spoonful of soup again.

"The ingredients are well chosen, and the blend of morel and mushroom powders with the soup is really well matched...... Because there is no meat in this soup, the taste will be a little thin, and the use of morels and mushrooms makes the taste of the whole dish thicker. ”

Pei Chen's eyes were blurred, his cheeks were rosy, and his energy was attracted by the dishes in front of him.

If he only tastes this dish without telling which chef made it, he will definitely think that the person who prepared it is an experienced celebrity chef.

The skillful technique and accurate heat control perfectly show the taste of this dish.

The soup stock is carefully cooked, the taste is fresh and fragrant, and compared with Que Zhengqing's clear soup, it also has its own characteristics, which makes it difficult for him to distinguish between high and low for a while.

However, this soup has its own unique characteristics, which the previous dish does not have - the taste.

Chicken stock, butter, cream, mushrooms and other ingredients, boiled for a long time, so that the juice of the soup itself becomes very rich, but Zheng Ke used a filter to filter the soup again, onions, mushrooms, shallots and other food residues, at the same time, some sticky and thick parts are also left on the strainer, and the filtered soup will be a little light.

According to common sense, the juice of this thick soup is the filtered soup.

However, this is not the case with this soup.

The soup made by Zheng Ke is called "thick soup", which means that the concentration of this soup will definitely not be as clear as the clear sauerkraut fish roll in the clear soup.

The taste is full-bodied, and after two or three sips, the delicacy and smoothness of the soup become more and more obvious.

"That's not rightβ€”" Yang Ying put down the spoon and looked up at Zheng Ke, "Did you add other ingredients to the soup?" I saw that you filtered out the onions and mushrooms, and the flavor of the soup shouldn't be so thick. What did you add to it?"

Xiao Han also nodded, agreeing with Yang Ying's statement.

His attainments in Chinese cuisine are very deep, but in French cuisine, he only tastes it and does not study it too deeply.

Zheng Ke was first surprised by Yang Ying's taste, but then figured out the reason.

Anyway, Yang Ying is also a special chef, and Cantonese cuisine is also the closest cuisine to Western food among the eight major cuisines, and it is relatively normal for her to notice this.

"Yes, Chef Yang, in fact, there is butter sauce (.beurre) in this soup. Zheng Ke said simply.

"Butter sauce?" Yang Ying tried to recall how this sauce was made, but he was not impressed.

Xiao Han and Pei Chen also frowned, staring at Zheng Ke.

"Well, the so-called butter sauce is the technique of adding butter to the soup when it is about to be boiled, so that the butter dissolves in the soup, which will increase the viscosity of the soup, and at the same time, because the egg yolk and cream are added, it also ensures the color of the soup. ”

Hearing Zheng Ke's explanation, Xiao Han bowed slightly, and there was a trace of expectation in his eyes when he looked at Zheng Ke.

"I'm amazed that you can make this dish. The technique, the heat, and the taste of French food are all outstanding. The quality of this dish is very high, and in my opinion, it is better than the previous one. But there are also disadvantages, the addition of mushrooms and morels ensures the rich taste of this dish, but in terms of stock, can it be replaced, so as to increase the layering of the taste of this soup? Of course, this is just my immature opinion. ”

"Thank you for your comments. Zheng Ke bowed to Xiao Han.

Whether Xiao Han's suggestion is feasible or not can only be known after the experiment, at least during the-blue, he did not have the energy to study these. And the other things Xiao Han said, such as "better than the previous dish", he wouldn't be stupid to believe it, right?

Just now, Xiao Han also said that he would give Que Zhengqing a high score, but as a result, he only scored 92 points. Therefore, before the score came out, Zheng Ke didn't believe Xiao Han's words.

"I gave you a 93 for this dish, congratulations. Without discussing it with the other two judges, Xiao Han directly gave the score.

Zheng Ke was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he looked at Xiao Han incredulously, why didn't this guy play cards according to the routine.

Que Zhengqing held his forehead with his hand, Xiao Han's old problem at school was committed again, he didn't care about other people's opinions, and directly said his inner feelings.

Yang Ying and Pei Chen looked at each other, this youngest first-class special chef in China is too out-of-the-box, right?

Xiao Han also reacted at this time, he was still competing, and he couldn't decide the final result himself, so he hurriedly asked Xiang Yangying and Pei Chen, "This is just my personal opinion, and the two of you can also score what you think." ”

"No, I also think this dish is better than the last one. Yang Ying hurriedly said, but he didn't say what the specific advantages of this belt were.

"I ...... I also agree with Mr. Xiao's score. Although Pei Chen felt that "93 points" was too low, he did not refute it and did not give a specific score.

If the score he gives is too far behind Xiao Han, there will definitely be good people who think that his level is too low.

Alas, who makes the first-class special chef more authoritative than the second-class?

Since this is the case, then it is determined that the score of Zheng Ke's dish is 93 points. Xiao Han said to Zheng Ke.

It's so low.

This is Zheng Ke's most intuitive feeling after seeing this score, and he has not received such a low score for a long time.

But thinking that Que Zhengqing's score was 92 points, Zheng Ke's mood was much more comfortable, after all, he pressed Que Zhengqing, and because of the players in Group C, Luke was the only one left who did not serve the dishes, and he was temporarily in first place, so it is certain that he has now qualified, but he doesn't know the final ranking yet.

Considering the scoring criteria for today's game, it is estimated that Luke's score will not be too high.

Zheng Ke, who walked off the judges' seat, said hello to Fu Xiuyun, but saw that Fu Xiuyun's face was not good-looking.

In fact, Fu Xiuyun's mood is not difficult to guess, Luke has not yet been played, and Zheng Ke's score is higher than his, if he really loses the game in the group stage, it will be a loss of face in the East.

What's more, Luke defeated him at the beginning of the year, and this game can be regarded as his revenge battle, so this game must be won.
