Chapter 186: Five Flavors of Dishes

This green vegetable is also wrong, it should be a dryland vegetable, once the green vegetables are planted with a lack of water, the taste will be astringent and sweet, and the taste will be greatly reduced...... This beef should not be veal...... And also......

The continuous variety of ingredients was found to be problematic, and the atmosphere became solemn for a while, and in this case, it was a problem to enter the quarterfinals, and it seemed even more impossible to win the championship.

The ingredients used on the site have been distributed, and the morale of the chef team of the Aegean Restaurant has dropped greatly, and half of the ingredients have problems, although it is not a big problem, but in this high-level cooking competition, it is a fatal weakness.

Chef Li Guangqing said: "This is simply bullying, we should complain!" ”

Wu Peng said: "Complaint? How do you make a complaint? Isn't our ingredients top-quality? Is there any evidence? The quality of the ingredients comes largely from subjective judgment, take our fish as an example, although the taste is a little worse, but at least there is no peculiar smell, and it can be eaten, so complaints are obviously not good. ”

Wu Xuan nodded and said: "Wu Peng is right, obviously this is a difficult problem for us by Chao Xingtian, but in the first game, we are competing for the top eight, this difficulty should not be difficult for us, right?" ”

Jiao Xing said: "We still have a chance to change the ingredients, so now we have to determine which one to change?" ”

Sixteen teams of chefs have been given their own ingredients, and more than 70 media judges are responsible for dividing the 16 teams into four groups. The top two teams from each group in the first game advance to the quarterfinals.

At the beginning of the game, there will be a change of dishes, and each team has a chance to exchange one ingredient in their hands for one ingredient from another group or team.

There is only one chance, and in the end, Wu Xuan made a decision to replace the vegetables in his hands, and as for the fish and meat with a bad taste, Wu Xuan found another way. Switch to grilled fish to cover up meat quality issues. As for the beef that tasted bad, it was fortunately replaced by someone else.

The four Aegean chefs were excellent, and after the fish barbecue with poor meat quality, they won unanimous praise from the judges, and of course, the exquisite seasoning also contributed to the final eight.

The second game of the final. More than 70 media judges took a back seat, and the right to speak was handed over to the so-called thirteen gourmets, seven of whom have been bought by Chao Xingtian.

Chao Xingtian, who was sitting in the audience, looked like he was in control of the world: "Hehe, I didn't expect that the chef of the Aegean Restaurant had good skills, but unfortunately no matter how hard you work, the champion has already belonged to our Hongyun Hotel, Wu Xuan, you just wait to work for me." ”

The competition continued, and under Chao Xingtian's deliberate arrangement, the ingredients of the Aegean Restaurant still had problems every time. The next four chefs came up with brilliant ideas to cover up their flaws each time, and finally made it to the final two rounds later.

In the last game, there are only two left in the top eight, one is Chao Xingtian's Hongyun Hotel, and the other is naturally Aegean Restaurant.

After another hard battle, the dishes of both sides were served to the judges at the same time, and the thirteen judges exchanged their heads and ears with each other. The final results are in.

"Everyone, be quiet, after our thirteen judges are impartial. Fair judgment and comments, the color, fragrance, taste, shape, meaning of the dishes of the two contestants, the five flavors are indistinguishable, but in general, Hongyun Hotel is better, so the champion of this year's Chef King Competition is, Hongyun Hotel! ”

This kind of final encounter. The situation of winning the victory by a slight margin was deliberately created by Chao Xingtian, and the purpose was to fully hit Wu Xuan's self-confidence. When the judges said the final result, there was thunderous applause on the field, because this year's King of Chef Competition is quite exciting.

"Hahaha, Wu Xuan, you lost. Hurry up and hand over the delicious recipe! By the way, you're going to work for me in the next ten years, hahaha......"

Chao Xingtian laughed uncontrollably, the chefs of the Aegean Restaurant were all depressed, Li Xinyan and Tang Tang were even more worried, but the person concerned, Wu Xuan, had a calm and breezy expression.

"Pretend, I'll let you pretend! I'll see how long you can fit it! ”

The other hotel owners at the scene all looked like they were watching a good show, and in their opinion, Wu Xuan was finished. If you admit this gamble, you can only work for Chao Xingtian in the future. If he dares not to admit it, he will become the target of public criticism, not to mention the catering industry in the future, and the entire business world will have no place for him.

At this moment, Wu Xuan got up and said loudly: "Slow! As the owner of the final Aegean restaurant, I have something to say. ”

Tai Fugui, a gourmand and commentator who was in charge of reading out the final results, said: "Oh? Are you the owner of an Aegean restaurant? It's really young and promising, I don't know what you have to say? ”

Wu Xuan took the microphone and said, "I want to know what the first criterion for judging this dish is?" And how do you judge the dishes of the Fortune Hotel that are worthy of this championship? ”

Hearing Wu Xuan questioning their evaluation results, Tai Fugui said with a displeased face: "Are you questioning us?" ”

"It's not a question, it's a clear understanding of wanting to lose."

"Okay, in that case, I'll explain. The dishes have five elements: color, fragrance, taste, shape and meaning, as a home-cooked dish for the people, maybe as long as it is delicious, but as a chef at the level of the king of chefs, these five elements are indispensable, which is commonly referred to as the five flavors of the dishes, I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer? ”

Wu Xuan shook his head and said: "I think you have said one thing less, and the most important thing is the same, any dish without this one cannot be regarded as a dish, but can only be regarded as garbage." ”

"Oh? What's missing? ”

At the scene, not only Tai Fugui was curious, but even Chao Xingtian wanted to know what fallacies Wu Xuan could say, did he still want to change the ending with his three-inch incorruptible tongue? It's a fool's dream!

Wu Xuan smiled and looked around until he had whetted everyone's appetite before continuing:

"The soul of a delicacy is not any of the five flavors, but a pure word!"

Tai Fugui was puzzled: "Net? What do you mean? ”

"Of course, net means clean, I believe that any dish with five flavors is missing this net word, it will become the existence of garbage, I don't know if I am right or not?"

"Huh?"

Tai Fugui was stunned, and said in his heart, what kind of tricks does this kid play? Do you want to use this method to turn the tables? You are so naΓ―ve. But Chao Xingtian in the audience had a bad feeling in his heart, although he also thought that Wu Xuan had no chance of turning the tables at all.

"This beautiful judge, I would like to ask you to take a look at the crispy duck liver with potato puree at hand, which black spot is what? It can't be that I'm dazzled, right? ”

The judge, who was casually ordered by Wu Xuan, looked curiously at the plate in front of him, and on the plate that had been almost eaten by himself, there was a fly, and it was also covered with sauce, obviously cooked.

"Whew......"

The beautiful judge hurriedly lowered her head, and the dish she had just eaten had already poured up her throat. (To be continued......)
