Chapter 235: The Battle of Victory and Defeat
At the moment when the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, all kinds of techniques do not need to be reserved at this moment, in order to be able to defeat the opponent, it is necessary to use all their strength, and never be careless.
The index finger was lightly attached to the side of the blade, while the rest of the fingers held the handle firmly and strongly, and the fruit knife seemed to be an extension of Bai Xia's limbs.
Between the hands and the knives, the cold light constantly jumps on the blade, dancing a dazzling song of light and shadow, which is accurate to the point of the knife work, it is hard to believe that it is not the machine.
The skin of each apple is almost as thin as a cicada's wing, so transparent that it can almost allow light to penetrate it, as if it could be cut open with a knife at the slightest touch, which is not only the chef's own knife workmanship, but also the knife itself must be a sharp weapon.
Although Bai Xia is not the chef of the main course, but in the process of dessert cooking, the processing of fruits is also a common problem, although the profession of pastry chef does not have very strict requirements for knife work, but for Bai Xia, any detail is enough to achieve absolute success or failure, even if it is knife work, he must do the best.
Unlike Bai Xia, Wu You focused on the drawing of chocolate sauce, the filling is the soul of the macaron, and it is also the key to the outcome of this matchup.
When heating dark chocolate and butter, it is necessary to stir constantly to make the two fully combined, and this mixing process is very even. Speed and power, amplitude and frequency should not deviate too much, otherwise the chocolate juice will be deflected. And Wu You's control of this stirring is not inferior to Bai Xia's ability to operate.
Gently close your eyes, replace your eyes with the tactile perception of your hands, and observe the dynamics of the furnace with your "heart eyes". Feel the harmony between chocolate and butter, and control the effect of temperature on the liquid, so that the whole process is presented under your control without any secrets. Achieve the highest degree of acquisition.
Knowing the temperature and time at the same time is also a key point in making chocolate liquor, and the process of melting chocolate is definitely not a simple heating change. Re-turning the solidified chocolate liquor into chocolate liquor is not a mathematical equation, and in this process, many components are volatilized. The most obvious thing is that the cocoa butter is swayed out with temperature. So the chocolate liquor from melting the chocolate doesn't actually taste very good. So at this time, a little help is needed, and Wu You added a small piece of butter to the pot to add fragrance.
Control of the heat. If the cooking time is short, the surface thickness is not enough and it is easy to break, but if the time is too long, the inside will solidify and lose the taste, so it is necessary to observe at all times so as not to miss the best heat.
The game came to this time. has entered the white-hot stage, Bai Xia and Wu You's intoxication with cooking can be described in two words, that is, selflessness.
Scrappy two, albeit based on different purposes, cultural backgrounds. Cooking experience. Standing on this stage from your own perspective is bound to be at the height of you and me, but the goals of both are the same. That's for the sake of victory.
There is no one in the world who does not desire victory, and when the dawn of victory shines on his body, all tears and heartache are not worth mentioning, and sorrow and pain will be bred into fragments of joy.
Bai Xia longs for victory, and Wu You will never back down.
One to defend oneself and one to achieve self-fulfillment.
Two equally sharp blades sent out a fierce confrontation at this moment.
Whether the scales of victory and defeat will be tilted to that side, and who the goddess of dawn will favor more, this is a battle that makes people forget to breathe, purely, for the desire for victory in the heart. …
So keep working hard, the sweat seeping out of the forehead, pouring out the inner high fighting spirit and the seriousness of concentration, unwavering body, in order to ensure that every action strives for perfection and also shows the solid basic skills that are as steady as a rock.
Although the sweat had already slid down his cheeks, like an annoying ant, at this moment, neither Bai Xia nor Wu You had the heart to wipe it. Time is precious, the action is extremely demanding, every detail does not allow the slightest mistake, only by completely isolating yourself from the outside world, only by focusing on what you have in your hands, can you defeat your opponent.
Perseverance, experience, determination, and desire have become a showdown between the two that overrides the cuisine.
It is faith that makes the two of them devote themselves to the cooking so selflessly, and it is faith that makes the two of them move forward with the belief that they will win.
Bai Xia returned from three years of studying, and the smile on his face was not what it was back then, but even better, with a calm and calm strategizing, which made his eyes have firmness and stability beyond ordinary people. However, what was hidden under those bright eyes, the profundity that went deep into the secluded pool, could not hide what he had experienced in the past three years.
There is no genius in the world, and if there is, it is also a gift from God. Bai Xia is definitely not a lucky darling, but he has the determination and belief that perseverance is the top of the world, with a tenacity that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and he has practiced day and night without sleep and food, which has allowed him to achieve today's results. People were only amazed that he had obtained the pre-selection qualification of pastry jeweler, and that he had a dazzling stunt, but no one ever cared what he had done for it.
No matter the scorching heat, no matter the harsh winter, day after day, year after year, a whole three years of time have been devoted to cultivation, except for the necessary work and rest time that can no longer be saved, all the time, he is thinking about how to improve himself.
It was as if his life had been for cultivation since he was conscious, and this amazing perseverance did not make his efforts in vain. He is standing here today, in order to return with the strongest posture and regain everything he has lost, and this battle cannot be defeated!
Wu You, on the other hand, is burdened with faith, in order to cross the high wall of freedom, he does everything he can, immerses himself in the dark corners that no one knows, and keeps trying, working hard, running and running. He is not a genius either, but he has wisdom that ordinary people cannot touch, and he also has his own sad fate.
In order not to go back to the past, in order to say no to the past days, in order to run on the wide avenue to meet the light of the future, Wu You endured all the hardships, except for his comrades-in-arms who had the same mission as him, no one could understand his desire for freedom.
There is a kind of human life that is willing to sacrifice one's life for the pursuit of freedom without shackles, even if it is only for a second. Wu You must not return to the cage of freedom, this battle must be won!
Looking at the two of them whose momentum had risen to an immeasurable height, Ke Yundan sighed heavily, Bai Xia and three years ago were like two people, the cooking techniques were not only something he had never seen before, but also a master's demeanor was already evident in his demeanor. This kind of bearing is not something that can be imitated, but a subtle influence brought about by the influence of the environment, and it is conceivable who Bai Xia comes into contact with on weekdays.
All masters who have achieved something in any field have one thing in common, that is, they will not waste time. People who don't have value and potential, aren't worth their time. And Bai Xia was able to get along with these people and be influenced by them, which shows that Bai Xia itself is worth a lot and is enough to be welcomed. …
Although the identity of the French royal dessert is suspected of being a candidate for the Zen position, it is undeniable that Bai Xia's own strength is also very unique, so that he can be appreciated by many famous artists and bear the public opinion of the ignorant generation.
But to Ke Yundan's surprise, Wu You's strength also greatly exceeded his expectations, originally thought that Wu You had done his best in the battle of Sikong Yao, but unexpectedly, in the confrontation with Bai Xia, Wu You continued to spew out deeper strength.
Accurately predicting Sikong Yao's strength, and applying the right policy to win without exposing his hole cards, although it is not unrelated to the strength of the chef himself, Wu You himself must also have a deep understanding of Sikong Yao, so he can make the right choice.
No one could have expected that Sikong Yao would have an epiphany during the competition, and no one knew how strong Sikong Yao would rise to when he obtained the Cooking Dao, but in front of Wu You, all this seemed to have nothing to hide.
Just like that, it was enough to make Ke Yundan feel a chill to his bones. In Sikong Yao's body, it took much more effort to come to the Key of Greed than himself.
Ke Yundan apologized for his failure and was also surprised by Wu You's strength. At this time, I can only believe that Bai Xia can create miracles.
At that time, there was a round of applause, and a mature female voice with a background slowly fell, saying: "To eat macarons, the first thing is to look at the appearance, the appearance needs to be smooth and flat, and the edge of the skirt is as uniform as lace." Don't pick the color too bright, avoid eating coloring, chocolate and mayonnaise are excellent choices, and then take a bite, the shell is crispy and sticky as the best, the amount of filling is not the point, but consider the balance of the overall sweetness. ”
Ke Yundan looked at the source of the voice, and then said humbly: "Your Excellency seems to have a lot of research on macarons?" ”
The source of the voice was a woman, dressed in simple clothes, but she could not hide her luxurious temperament.
The woman said, "I know a little bit about it." (To be continued)
