Episode 157 Victory
"It was really delicious. Donna frowned, and her eyes revealed great surprise, "The washed duck is soaked in wine to remove the fishy smell of the duck itself, and the mellow aroma of the wine remains in the inside of the duck meat, and the peppercorns contained in the duck meat make people occupy the tongue coating after tasting it...... That tingling feeling, well, gives a feeling of excitement. ”
"The texture of the duck meat is also very different from its appearance, and at first glance, I thought it was duck meat in a pan and fried to color. But when you eat it, you don't feel the hardness at all, and all the tastes melt in your mouth. How did you do that?"
Donna looked at Zhang Leshan with interest.
Zhang Leshan also noticed Donna's expression, but he was a little confused and confused. It wasn't until Zheng Ke translated Donna's words into Huaxia that he suddenly realized.
"Oh, that's what you said...... Ahem, classmate Zheng, can you please translate the next words to the judges?" asked Xiang Zheng Ke.
After receiving a definite answer, Zhang Leshan also briefly stated the answer to the question.
"The whole dish has not been fried in oil. After the duck meat has tasted good, I put the duck in a pot and steam it. During this period of time, Wanghuo has already steamed the duck meat, and the next thing is to taste it.
"At the beginning, the flavor was actually marinated in seasonings, so when I tried it, the flavor was more obvious. The subsequent flavor is 'smoked'. ”
The three judges on the judges' bench nodded again and again when they heard Zheng Ke's translation.
"In the duck, there is indeed a smoky taste. If that's the case, maybe it's all clear. Add said simply.
"Wait, what are the ingredients you mean by smoke?" asked Jobe impatiently.
This question is also what Zheng Ke wants to know the most, and he translated it casually.
Perhaps seeing the judges' urgent inquiry, Job's face also showed a little pride.
"There was rice, brown sugar and tea leaves in the pot. Of course, this smoky flavor is the pine and cypress branches placed in the hearth. ”
After Zheng Ke translated this sentence, he couldn't help but glance at the arena behind him, until now, there was still a faint smoke in the hearth, and it should be the remnants of pine and cypress branches, which were still burning.
The three judges nodded slightly, looked at the dishes in front of them, and said "I see" several times in a row.
Just when the three teachers were reminiscing about the taste of the dishes, Zheng Ke also put forward his own requirements.
"Judge, I want to try this smoked duck, can I ask what?"
Zheng Ke's eyes stared at Eddie.
He knew that if he wanted to try the dishes, he had to get Eddie's approval.
Sure enough, Eddie agreed to Zheng Ke's request without thinking about it.
Through this game, he can be sure that the dishes made by Zheng Ke in the first few rounds did not exert his full strength at all, and the few dishes he had eaten in the "Land of Tranquility" were not on the same level as the dishes in front of him. Even, the three sets of ducks just now are not necessarily Zheng Ke's upper limit.
He finally knew now why Marcus wanted Zheng Ke to join Lanji so much.
In a way, Zheng Ke's talent in cooking is not below Catherine.
In this case, Eddie must find a way to continue to try Zheng Ke's other dishes, but before that, he must give Zheng Ke a little "sweetness".
Zheng Ke asked the staff on the side for a pair of knives and forks, and then tried to eat it.
The delicious and mellow duck meat reverberates in the mouth, and the combination of various ingredients can be described as "flawless". At the same time, although the heat in this dish is not as good as its own three sets of duck, it also complements the smoked duck well.
After swallowing, the duck meat has a smoky flavor in addition to the mellow taste, which still reverberates in the nose and mouth.
It wasn't until the duck meat was completely swallowed that Zheng Ke came to his senses from the deliciousness, and then he remembered that the purpose of his tasting was to evaluate it with his cooking notes, so that he could try the dish again after the competition.
So, Zheng Ke picked up the knife and fork again, and in Eddie's surprised gaze, forked up a piece of the fattest duck meat, ate it in his mouth, and evaluated it with his cooking notes.
The muscles on Eddie's face twitched twice, and his heart ached slightly, this kind of Chinese food is hard to find.
Taking advantage of this gap, the cooking notes have already commented on this dish.
The score is 100 points, and there is no suggestion to mention, and then, on the cooking note, the ingredients used to cook the dish appear.
After tasting the dishes of the two people, the judges also began to get into discussions. Only this time, it was discussed for a longer time than in the previous games.
"I'm suddenly a little worried......" Megumi Tanzo clasped her hands together and placed them in front of her chest, looking slightly nervous.
"Yes, Senior Zheng's opponent is very strong, to be honest, it is estimated that Senior Sister Gentian will not be his opponent. Kohei clasped his hands to his chest and said very seriously.
"I'm afraid, it's not just Senior Gentian, Senior Si may also have a hard time winning him. Issehui said softly.
"Huh, wouldn't it, would it be so powerful?" Kohei had already felt that he was overestimating just now, and now it seemed that his estimate was still a little worse.
"Yes, you can know this by looking at his cooking skills. Although Chinese cuisine and Western food are different, they each have their own standards. In terms of culinary skills, Senior Si may not be able to win Zhang Leshan. Erina also expressed her opinion.
Xingping scratched his head, "In this way, Senior Zheng also has the possibility of losing the game." ”
"As I said before, Xiao Ke has a sixty percent chance of winning when he makes this dish. But whether you can win the game depends more on the taste of the two dishes. Xuan Li's expression was more relaxed.
Judging from the cooking skills, it is difficult to find shortcomings in the cooking process of the two people, but Zheng Ke has his strengths, realm, and dish suppression. The advantage of Zhang Leshan is that the completion of smoked duck should be higher than that of three sets of ducks.
Now it's up to us to see which side has the greater advantage.
In this discussion, the three judges discussed for three minutes before they came to a conclusion.
Seeing the judges sitting up straight, Zheng Ke also took a deep breath.
In this game, you must not lose, so the judges ...... Please......
"Two duck dishes are two completely different worlds of food for diners. After tasting it, the dishes inside fill the brain, and people enter it and don't want to come out again. Therefore, these two dishes, within us, also have a big disagreement. After intense discussions, we reached a consensus of opinions. ”
Megumi Tasoko clenched her fists and looked at the big screen nervously, her hands stained with sweat, but she didn't know it.
Although the others are not as committed as Megumi Tanzo, their nerves are also tightly tensed.
"The winner of the first game is, Zheng Ke!" Eddie said the name of the winner slowly.
