Episode 372 Champion
The final is the same as the semi-final, where you choose the ingredients you need from a cart full of ingredients.
Cheng Huaizhi and Bayer bowed to each other, then came to their console and looked at the table with the ingredients.
As the Su Pavilion in the Oriental School Park, Cheng Huaizhi's final cuisine, without accident, is Su cuisine.
"There are swordfish (ji) in spring, anchovy (shi) in summer, fat ducks in autumn and vegetables in winter. ”
Su cuisine is very famous in China for its wide range of ingredients.
Because of the favorable climate in Sodi, there are many ingredients to choose from, and the dishes vary significantly from season to season.
In the face of this kind of topic, unless the ingredients are too strange, Cheng Huaizhi can always pick his own suitable materials.
The real situation is not much different from what Zheng Ke speculated. Cheng Huaizhi quickly picked out five fat ducks in the cart with ingredients.
"Duck?" Catherine said in surprise.
"In Su cuisine, the cooking of duck is very particular - Cheng Huaizhi's choice of this ingredient is also a good choice. After Zheng Ke explained, his eyes also moved to Bayer's ingredients.
It seems that the title of this contest is 'Birds'.
From the semi-finals onwards, the competition seems to have no questions, but in fact, every food truck has at least one type of main ingredient.
Catherine's competition is seafood, Zheng Ke's competition is game, and the food truck in the final should be poultry.
Pigeons are also a very common ingredient in the West, so from this point of view, the organizing committee did not increase the difficulty of the topic, but let the contestants play as much as possible and make delicious dishes.
Duck vs pigeon.
This topic...... It seems to be very good.
Shao wine, fatty meat, soy sauce, white sugar, rock sugar, cinnamon, star anise......
Cheng Huaizhi took out the ingredients one by one from the trolley and put them on the operating table.
Catherine has a certain understanding of Chinese cuisine, but she is not profound, and seeing Cheng Huaizhi put the ingredients on the table, she does not know what Cheng Huaizhi wants to cook.
"Zheng Ke, what is the last ingredient that Cheng Huaizhi took out? chili powder?" Catherine asked curiously.
The final ingredient?
Milne's attention was also drawn to Catherine's words, and in the corner of the workbench was a clear sealed bag containing crimson powder.
"Probably not, Su cuisine rarely uses a lot of paprika. Zheng Ke shook his head.
"That'...... What's that?"
Zheng Ke dragged his chin and looked at all the ingredients of Cheng Huaizhi, and finally his eyes fell on the red powder again, and he thought about all the ingredients that he might have thought of, and finally decided on a material.
"Red yeast rice powder. Zheng Ke speculated.
"Monascus powder?" Milne rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, "If I remember correctly, Monascus should mean Monascus mold, right?"
"Yes, the ingredient itself has no side effects on the body, and it also strengthens the spleen and eats, and is used as a dye pigment in some dishes. ”
This ingredient is used in the barbecued pork or Su cuisine of Chinese Cantonese cuisine.
"If it's red yeast rice, then it's logical to use rock sugar. Zheng Ke explained.
"Why?" said Catherine, puzzled.
"Red yeast rice has a slightly bitter taste, and the use of rock sugar can alleviate this bitterness. However, it is precisely because of this flavor that it is usually not used too much when cooking. ”
Catherine bowed her head slightly when she heard Zheng Ke's words, and Milne's eyes looking at Zheng Ke also changed slightly.
This kid still has some levels.
The gap between chefs is often reflected in some subtle places.
Milne generally looked at Zheng Ke while thinking in his heart.
The two contestants chose their own ingredients and cooked them quickly.
Bayer first cooks the pigeon, sprinkles it with fine salt and white pepper, marinates it, and then frying the surface of the pigeon until it is golden, and then puts it in the oven for baking. With this set of measures, he began to cook the sauce.
Cheng Huaizhi processed the duck meat and put the duck meat in the pot together with the fat meat. Wait until the water in the pot boils, skim off the scum, add red yeast powder, soy sauce, refined salt, rock sugar chips, cinnamon, star anise and other ingredients in turn, and continue to boil.
Both players have entered the 'realm', and this match is far more exciting than the others.
The use of small skills, the understanding of the dishes, and the control of the heat all opened Zheng Ke's eyes, which was completely incomparable to the previous games.
The three people sitting in the VIP table discussed the game, and Milne's interpretation of Bayer's cuisine was as clear as a cook's solution to a cow's cooking. Zheng Ke and Catherine nodded from time to time, extracting information that was useful to them.
Although Zheng Ke can't be as fine as Milne, the key points of Cheng Huaizhi's cooking are also analyzed very thoroughly, coupled with Milne's inquiries and reminders from time to time, Zheng Ke also has a deeper understanding of Cheng Huaizhi's Su cuisine.
However, there is one thing that the three of them agree on, and as the game progresses, it becomes clearer and clearer that the winner of the final will be.
"Bayer seniors may lose this game. Catherine's face was gloomy.
"It's a shame. If he has enough energy, Bayer has a good chance of winning, but in the last few steps, his movements have been deformed, and the taste of the dish is not optimal. On the other hand, Cheng Huaizhi ......"
Although Cheng Huaizhi in the arena was also sweating like rain, his movements were still tense and there was no tendency to be out of shape.
Zheng Ke could only shake his head secretly, the reason why Bayer showed fatigue so early had something to do with him. It's just that he also wanted to win yesterday's game, so the blood struggle between the two is inevitable.
If he comes again, he will still do his best.
The countdown on the big screen goes to zero, and the electronic bell rings. Cheng Huaizhi and Bayer's dishes were served to the judges' table one after another.
The audience at the scene stared intently at the big screen, waiting for the new champion to be produced.
The countdown changed from '5' to '0', and the score finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Cheng Huaizhi won the championship of The-Blue with a score of 3:2.
All kinds of streamers flew in the wind, and the audience at the scene also boiled, cheering for the new champion.
The year-long The-Blue competition has come to an end, and for Zheng Ke, this trip to Paris has also come to an end.
"By the way, when are you going to return to Japan?" asked Milne curiously.
"I'm just looking at the last two days? Zheng Ke explained.
It's going to be the winged halberd of the Far Moon School Park soon.,Even if you return to Hokkaido.,It's not easy.。
Catherine listened to Zheng Ke's words, and immediately glanced up at Zheng Ke, but found that Zheng Ke's expression was not too good, and she also sighed secretly.
