The staff sent another dish to the isolation room, and Zhu Tong took it and put it on the table to start tasting it. There are cameras at all angles in the isolation room, which can clearly capture his every movement.

Zhu Tong picked up a piece of soft fried matsutake mushroom and put it in his mouth, the skin is crispy, the inside is creamy, very smooth and soft, it is indeed a good dish.

The white sauce has a strong cheese flavor, but it's definitely not ordinary cheese, and it seems to have something else added to it.

He picked up another slice of matsutake mushrooms without sauce, revealing a faint fruity aroma in the light saltiness, as if some orange juice had been added.

A piece of soft-fried matsutake mushroom chewed in Zhu Tong's mouth for nearly thirty seconds, and then he put down his chopsticks and took a pen to write on the paper.

Basal vein wheat flour, white feather egg, butter matsutake mushroom, orange salt...... Sesame chestnut, Zhu Tong wrote the names of twenty ingredients in a row.

According to the rules of the competition, the taster does not know the number of ingredients used by the opponent, so each chef writes the names of the ingredients that he thinks are possible. When deciding, the number of the first digits will be counted as valid answers based on the number of ingredients used by the cooking party, and the excess part will not be scored even if it is correct.

For example, Sally El chose thirteen ingredients, so the referee will only look at the first thirteen ingredients written by Zhu Tong.

This rule makes the game more challenging, because informing your opponent in advance of the amount of ingredients to use will provide the guesser with very important clues that can help him to eliminate many wrong answers.

In the final decision, the winner is determined, regardless of the total number of ingredients used in the dish, and the one with the most ingredients wins. For example, if player A guesses 7 out of 10 ingredients, and player B guesses 8 out of 20 ingredients, then the latter wins.

There is only one exception, and that is when one side guesses correctly.

For example, if player A guesses 8 out of 10 ingredients that player B chooses, and player A makes a dish that uses only 6 ingredients, and player B guesses all of them, player B wins.

After Zhu Tong handed over his answer to the judge, the referee began to compare the ingredients used by Sally El, and finally ruled that Zhu Tong guessed 8 ingredients.

The creamy matsutake mushroom made with ordinary matsutake mushroom and milk as the main ingredients, with a trace of percussion mushroom spores, sesame chestnuts, and juicy shiitake mushroom powder, successfully deceived Zhu Tong, making him miss 5 ingredients at once.

It's a pity that Sally El's method of using cheese grass to puree instead of cheese was discovered, and finally adding orange juice to orange salt to change its orange flavor intensity did not deceive Zhu Tong.

Sally El wanted to use this method to make Zhu Tong think that he was mixing orange salt with orange juice and ordinary table salt, but he didn't know the proportion. It's a pity that it failed.

After the results came out, Zhu Tong also left the isolation room, and saw that he had guessed the wrong five ingredients and gave a thumbs up to Sally El. "It's amazing to be able to mimic the flavor of creamy matsutake mushrooms. ”

"It's over, I'm looking forward to your cooking. After saying that, Sally El and Zhu Tong exchanged places, and she entered the isolation room by herself.

The roles were reversed, and Zhu Tong was not affected by the previous competition, and he began to choose the ingredients he needed.

Seaweed worms, nut saury, octopus tuna, shark fin mushrooms...... Lobster fish, watermelon and shellfish, he selected 18 ingredients in a row, and most of them were seafood.

"Charles, what does Chef Zhu Tong want to do after selecting so many seafood in a row?" asked Chrisman.

"These ingredients have different requirements for cooking, and it is difficult to complete them in 30 minutes with ordinary methods, so I think Zhu Tong wants to use these ingredients to make soup.

In the last competition, Chef Sally El showed us the skill of simulating the taste of special ingredients with a variety of ordinary ingredients, and this time Chef Zhu Tong should want to blend the flavors of all the ingredients together, so that people can't tell the difference. Charles guessed.

In fact, compared to Sariel's method, it is easier to confuse the taste of the ingredients by making soup into them. In addition, the raw materials are fished out and only the pure soup is left, making it difficult to distinguish the ingredients from the color and shape.

"But I'm more worried about whether the taste of the soup will pass the review of the judging by mixing so many ingredients together. Charles frowned slightly, expressing his concern.

It takes a lot of skill to combine the eighteen ingredients perfectly to create a satisfying taste.

At the cooking table, Zhu Tong, who had selected the ingredients, began his own cooking.

The soup that Zhu Tong is making now is not specifically designed for competitions, he has been trying to recreate the legendary world soup that existed in the Ice Continent for decades, and what he has made today is nothing more than a castrated version of the research results.

Zhu Tong has never tasted the Century Soup in person, but he learned from the words of the information that the Century Soup is a soup that combines the delicious essence of hundreds of ingredients, and it has super transparency like air.

Over the years, Zhu Tong has been experimenting with a variety of ingredients, and although it is still out of reach to recreate the century soup, it is easy to make a soup stock with dozens of ingredients that are perfectly matched together.

Eighteen kinds of ingredients are quickly processed, and Zhu Tong cooks them in the most suitable way to extract the essence of each ingredient.

The ingredients are strained through a gauze and all the soup is mixed in a pot. At this time, there was no trace of any ingredients in the pot, only milky white soup and a small amount of foam. Depth filtration can further improve the clarity of the soup, but the time limit of the competition does not allow Zhu Tong to do this.

As the mixed soup boiled again, a rich aroma wafted into the noses of every viewer.

"What does it smell like?"

"It smells so good!"

"I risked my life to come to the game for this moment. One of the audience members said intoxicated.

When there were only five seconds left in the countdown, Zhu Tong turned off the fire and put out his "Eighteen Arhat Soup". One of the bowls of soup was sent to the judges, and unsurprisingly received ten green lights.

"I don't know how many ingredients you can taste. Watching his soup being sent to the isolation room, Zhu Tong muttered to himself.

Inside the quarantine room, Sally El took a sip of soup and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips, but then her brow furrowed.

There is only one word for this soup to give her feeling, and that is "fresh"!

The deliciousness of various seafood and mountain delicacies is condensed to form a wall of flavor made up of umami. If you can't break through this defense, you'll never be able to explore what's going on inside.
