Zheng Ke looked at the arena again, and the first-grader named David was also cooking quickly.

David turned on the oven, took out a relatively large baking tray from it, and placed it on the countertop.

Zheng Ke's attention just now was focused on Anier, so he didn't pay much attention to David's cooking. When he saw the plate that David brought out, his eyes lit up, and there was a layer of dark yellow pancakes in the baking tray.

"Don't underestimate this layer of crepes, that kid has a certain idea of what he did. Catherine explained.

Zheng Ke looked at the pancakes again, but he didn't see anything strange.

"Is there one?" Zheng Ke wondered.

"Yes, the texture is more delicate than ordinary pancakes. Catherine said.

Zheng Ke laughed dryly, he really didn't care about it just now.

His method, in fact, is a bit complicated, the previous and ordinary methods are the same, low-gluten flour, caster sugar, add egg whites, mix, then add cream, keep stirring, so that it is evenly mixed. But Davy was clever enough to add rum to it. Catherine explained.

"Rum...... Wait......" Zheng Ke held his chin and fell into deep thought, pausing for about half a minute before he raised his head and asked tentatively, "You mean, dissolve?"

"That's right. By standing for a period of time, a part of the flour, egg whites, and cream are dissolved in the rum, and then the rum incorporated into these ingredients is flattened on a baking sheet, and then the baking sheet is placed in the oven to bake. When the alcohol in rum is heated, it escapes outward, and its own sweetness is left on the crepe. Catherine explained.

Zheng Ke bit his lip, but his brows were furrowed, using the solubility of grease in alcohol to extract the required substances, and then spread them flat on the baking tray and put them in the oven for baking.

This method is not only for the delicate taste, on the other hand, the thickness of the pancake can be spread out very thinly, and the texture will be relatively uniform.

He's just a first-year student.

Zheng Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that Xinghei and Erina will not have a good time in the next two years.

It was just a fairly common game, but the seriousness shown by the two players surprised Zheng Ke. Whether it's Anie's choice of meringue technique or Dave's method of baking crepes, it's hard to see in an ordinary duel.

In particular, seeing David's strength also made Zheng Ke sure that Catherine's evaluation of him was quite fair - David's strength was no less than Erina and Kohei.

As the game progressed, the number of people in the arena gradually increased, and although there was still a certain distance from five hundred people, the atmosphere was finally no longer so stuffy.

"At the end of the competition, please plate your dishes!" shouted the second-year host, "The first contestant to serve the dishes is Anelle—please put the dessert behind the tray and serve it to the judges' seats." ”

As soon as the host put down the microphone, Anielle had already picked up the plate and walked up to the judges' bench.

"Judge, this is my dessert, strawberry vicherin. Anelle had a small smile on her face.

"Vecherin?" Zheng Ke didn't reflect for a while.

"Vacherins are some soft milk cheeses. Anielle said this, probably because the dessert of this dish was somewhat similar to that of Vecherin, so she borrowed the name. ”

After listening to Catherine's explanation, Zheng Ke had a preliminary understanding of Veccherin, and his eyes fell on the big screen, watching the meal made by Aniele.

In the middle of a small saucer, which is as white as snow, is Aniel's dessert. The dessert is made up of white meringue at the bottom and sliced strawberries on top of it, stacked on top of each other to encircle the city.

Such a dessert has a very good shape, considering Anie's cooking skills, Zheng Ke can also be sure that the taste is also excellent.

This dessert should be very tempting.

The three judges, after tasting it, all made surprised sounds, their cheeks were crimson, and all their attention was focused on the dessert in front of them.

After baking, the meringue has a delicate and soft taste, which melts in the mouth, and the sweet and sour taste of the strawberry slices on the top also stimulates people's nerves.

However, relying on these alone, it should not make the three pastry chefs of the star-rated restaurant exclaim.

Just when Zheng Ke was guessing the reason, the female judge sitting in the middle said the reason.

"This dessert, from the outside, is only composed of two parts, one is the meringue on the outside, and the strawberry on top, in fact, everyone is blinded by the appearance of this dish, and there is another layer inside this dessert. ”

As she spoke, the female judge pointed the dessert at the camera, and the internal structure of the strawberry vicherin appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Zheng Ke looked at the inside of the dessert and suddenly realized. It turned out that Anelle made the meringue into a bowl-shaped structure, and in the middle of this "small bowl" of egg whites, it was filled with red ingredients.

"Aniel, fill it with sherbet cheese. The female judge explained.

Sherlock has nothing to do with cheese, it's just an ingredient made from a smooth puree that is used in ice cream.

Many people didn't expect that this "small bowl" was stuffed with this kind of snow cheese.

"Strawberries, sugar, lemon, melon...... The various ingredients blend with each other, and after you eat it, it gradually melts in your mouth. The delicate and smooth texture of the meringue and the refreshing and luscious sorbet make you feel like you've entered summer – this dessert is truly delicious. The female judge closed her eyes slightly, feeling the impact of the dessert.

"Aniel's dessert is very good. Zheng Ke rubbed his chin and said.

"It's not too good. Catherine shook her head slightly, denying Zheng Ke's words.

"Huh, the dessert is so delicious. Zheng Ke was surprised.

"This level of desserts can no longer be judged by whether they are delicious or not. Catherine clasped her hands to her chest, not satisfied with Aniel's food.

"If you talk about appearances...... Well...... There is something wrong with it. The white dinner plate and the white meringue are in direct contact and there is no sense of layering. Moreover, the taste of this dish is made with strawberries, and the taste is slightly monotonous. Zheng Ke thought about it for a while and guessed the reason for Catherine's words, "But I still think it's a very good dessert." The first factor that determines the quality of a dish is taste. Moreover, the price of unpretentious desserts is often not too high, and it is more acceptable to diners. ”

Catherine turned her head to look at Zheng Ke, "If your words are heard by Aniele, she will probably be angry with you again." ”

"Why?" asked Zheng Ke puzzled.

For her, if she can't cook a dish at a good price, it's a failure. Catherine explained.
