Chapter 674: Miscalculation
Another half an hour passed, Luca and Yao Xiaoyu had finished their own cooking, and when Chad, Sikong Yao felt that it was not good, I am afraid that from the perspective of appearance, Yao Xiaoyu had already lost most of it.
Lucca's Brittany, has a very attractive appearance, whether it is color or smell, there is a simple and rich precipitation, as if it has experienced the polishing of time, can continue to circulate in the long river of history, just by looking at it, you can also know that the taste is not bad, the surface of the dark yellow with a little black, it is the expression of the aroma condensed to the extreme, can bake such a beautiful color, it can be seen that Luca's strength should not be underestimated.
However, on the other hand, Yao Xiaoyu's Brittany is indeed a lot inferior, not as calm and atmospheric as Luca's works, but extremely fresh and light, sprinkled with icing sugar, a cheerful and playful fun is coming, more like a child who is not deeply involved in the world, although the two take different style routes, but no matter how you look at it, Yao Xiaoyu loses.
Sikong Yao couldn't help but be nervous for her, even if she was not a professional judge, she could see that Yao Xiaoyu's current situation was not good, and I was afraid that she would lose more than a star and a half in momentum.
When Luca saw Yao Xiaoyu's Brittany, he smiled even more, and he was basically able to conclude that he had the chance to win, "What kind of thing are you doing, where did someone sprinkle frosting on Brittany, are you here to make trouble?" ”
Yao Xiaoyu didn't think so, but responded shallowly: "It's really a lot of talk, and I only know how to stick to the rules all my life." Which restaurant wants you, be ready to drown in the long river of history, people like you can only hold on to the old recipe for a lifetime. ”
As soon as he heard Yao Xiaoyu's argument, Luca suddenly became angry and shouted: "Do you know what a classic is!" A classic is an exemplary, authoritative, and enduring work of eternity, which is selected by the elimination of history and is the most valuable! My Breton recipe is the best expression of this dessert. The most perfect work. Something like yours that doesn't like that, and you dare to argue with me? ”
Yao Xiaoyu snorted disdainfully and said, "Conformism is also called a classic? It's ridiculous, the classic recipe of the fifties was the best of that era. But there is a difference in the desserts that best represent this era. Fine art only refers to the quality of the work, and does not need to have other characteristics that the classics have. The boutique of the industry, or the boutique in a period, has a representative nature and significance, and I will let you see it today. What kind of dessert can cater to the development of this era! ”
Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Marco also came out to play a round, and said with a smile: "Okay, it seems that both of you have prepared your own works, so let's invite our judges, the first is Mr. Chef, the hottest legend of the three-star Michelin restaurant, at the age of eighteen, he has already won the title of the all-French culinary champion, and now he is nearly thirty years old, he has published countless food magazines and hosted various food programs, let us applaud and welcome, Connor Wood!" ”
Hearing Connor Wood's name, the surrounding audience all screamed, this person is very famous in France, not only tall, but also has a good temperament and appearance, because he has hosted many food shows, often shown in front of the screen, and his popularity is very high.
Even Sikong Yao had heard of his title, because this person was almost an all-round chef, whether it was dishes or desserts, he was also very good at Chinese cuisine, and he was one of the few Western chefs who could control the Chinese pot, and he was an all-round chef.
In addition to Connaught, the other judges who appeared were all well-known French chefs, some were chefs of top restaurants, some were retired former chefs, and there were also imperial chefs sent by the French royal family.
Although Wu Ke is usually very kind and hosts the show is also very witty and humorous, but only the colleagues in the hottest legend restaurant and his work will know that once this person enters the kitchen, he immediately becomes a demon of hell, and his strict requirements for cooking are almost outrageous, and once one of his subordinates was cooking a lobster, just because he accidentally made a gap when cutting the shell, and he was immediately fired.
It is definitely not an easy thing to make this person nod his head in satisfaction, with him as the judge, even Luca will feel a lot of pressure, but the more serious Wu Ke is, the more excited Luca is, because he firmly believes that his Brittany will never go wrong, but Yao Xiaoyu's nondescript work, I am afraid that it will attract Wu Ke's dislike.
Not only did he lose the game, but he was also reprimanded by the well-known French chef Wu Ke, so Yao Xiaoyu's cooking career could basically be terminated, and when he thought of this, Luca not only showed a very annoying smile.
Lucca's Brittany, adhering to the classic of traditional recipes, has the nobility and fragrance of French pastries, without any foaming treatment, but the cake swells very well in the oven, the taste is not like ordinary cakes, but it has the taste of pudding, the skin is crunchy, the inside is soft and smooth, a knife cut, the heat rises instantly, with the aroma of plum gushing out.
Seeing the very satisfied expressions of several judges, Luca knew that the victory was in his hands, in any case, the reason why the classics can be regarded as classics, it is definitely not unreasonable, these judges are all experienced and experienced people, they know what the French tradition of Brittany is like, and Luca's Brittany is the best choice to meet their needs.
Immediately after Wu Ke, Luca's heart began to beat faster, and once Wu Ke also agreed with his Brittany, then basically there was no suspense in this cooking duel.
Wu Ke rolled his knife and fork over the Brittany, the soft touch could be transmitted from the blade to the middle, this touch was very beautiful, he forked one piece into his mouth, tender and delicate, like a soft pudding, and the wetness of a cake, he nodded inexplicably, but did not say a word.
Luca's heart was about to beat to his throat, he was glanced at by Wu Ke, but he didn't understand what the purpose of his eyes was, whether this Brittany was delicious or unpalatable, why didn't he say it directly? What if Wu Ke doesn't think it tastes good? Luca's heart fluttered all of a sudden, but when Yao Xiaoyu handed her Brittany, this worry disappeared completely, because Luca saw it, and the first judge showed a not very happy expression!
The judge frowned, looked at Yao Xiaoyu with some impatience, and asked, "Is this Brittany?" ”
Luca couldn't help but jump up and cheer, and sure enough, Yao Xiaoyu's work miscalculated, the alternative innovation was messed up, and the judges didn't eat her set.
Sikong Yao also panicked now, this Yao Xiaoyu seems to be in trouble, it seems that the judge doesn't seem to like her work, sure enough, in the eyes of these Frenchmen, do they still value the old-fashioned classics?
However, Yao Xiaoyu was neither humble nor arrogant, and said straightforwardly: "Yes, this is my Brittany, judge, desserts should not be set in stone, the same recipe, even if it is made for different cooks, it will have a different taste, is this a problem with the recipe?" I don't think so, but because there are differences in the chefs themselves, so neither I, nor Luca, nor even the current pastry chef Louis can restore the original Breton taste, so why should I pursue a taste that cannot be achieved at all? I think that the classics in the eyes of modern people are, on the one hand, the allusions and cultural heritage of the golden rules left over from the great waves and sands in history; On the other hand, some people and things that are often seen or remembered in life, and even those that can be widely used in life are also called classics; At the same time, for individuals, as long as they can move themselves and hide them in the bottom of their hearts after a period of time, they can also be called classics. Such a general abuse of classics, anything popular can be called a classic, then the classic loses its value. I don't always bind my own desserts with the so-called classics, I want to bring more freshness and surprise to my guests, rather than the same old menu every day, people will continue to grow, so desserts should also continue to improve, so I dared to innovate this moment in Brittany. ”
The judge sneered, as if making fun of Yao Xiaoyu's ignorance, but he still raised his knife and slashed at the surface of Brittany, and said: "Brittany without dried plums is really innovative, what if you sprinkle some frosting, I won't buy it, if this is called innovation, then can I sprinkle cake on top of ice cream and simply replace dried nuts?" Obviously, no. ”
The judges inadvertently knifed, Sikong Yao could see that he didn't like Yao Xiaoyu's works very much, and even said that he was disgusted, so Sikong Yao couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Yao Xiaoyu, but looking at her calm face, he couldn't help but wonder if she was really sure? It is true that although the judges spoke harshly, they did make sense, and sprinkling frosting on Brittany was not innovation at all, but a bit of a snake to add to it, what is the so-called innovation......
At the same time, Sikong Yao found that the judge's expression seemed to have changed from disdain to surprise? (To be continued......)
