Chapter 368: Cooking is also a task
To be honest, Lin Song really didn't expect that he had worked so hard to enter the Sword Special Combat Team and start to officially carry out the mission, and the first task that made him feel a little bottomless was actually cooking.
That's right, it's cooking.
According to Wang Xiangjun, the traditional rule of this exhibition is that everyone first cooks the designated special dishes according to the requirements of the organizers and combines the characteristics of their own country.
Strictly speaking, this is actually a propositional essay, and each party will rank according to the number of votes for these designated dishes. The top four countries will then be ranked in the second round.
The second round of the competition is different from the first round of public review, but allows these opponents to compete with each other in a black box, that is to say, the second round of competition is much more difficult, and no one knows who made the dishes waiting for the review in front of them.
As for the second round of dishes, the real core of competition is not only in the color and aroma, but also in the accurate grasp of the heat, texture and taste of the ingredients.
In other words, the first round is a public audition, and the second round is a professional review.
Lin Song said directly: "If this is the case, then we will definitely have no problem in the first round, now that Chinese restaurants are popular all over the world, who doesn't like to eat Chinese food." ”
Wang Xiangjun smiled: "What you said is not bad, in fact, there is really no problem in the first round." It seems that you still understand a little bit, in this case, among these participating countries, you can take a look, which four countries can win? ”
Lin Song thought about it for a while, and said directly: "Our Huaxia will definitely be able to occupy a place, the reason is very simple, that is, the popularity of Chinese food in the world.
In addition to us, the cuisine of the Japanese country is indeed a bit distinctive, and they are very good at packaging, marketing, and in many places they also take the high-end route. Therefore, the Wa Kingdom should also be able to occupy a place.
As for the remaining two places, the Apennines claim to be the taste buds of Europa, and their pizza, red wine, and cheese are all over the world, and they will definitely be able to occupy a place.
When it comes to this last spot, I want to see it. ”
Lin Song said this, he paused, Wang Xiangjun looked at Lin Song with a smile, and after the two of them were silent for a moment, Lin Song blurted out directly: "The next one should be Gaul." After all, the Gallic feast is also quite famous. ”
Who knows, after Wang Xiangjun heard Lin Song say this, he smiled and wrote the names of several countries directly on a note in front of Lin Song.
Looking at these names, Lin Song was taken aback, he shook his head and said, "How is it possible, I won't talk about this country, this last one, their country is known for its rough diet and lack of exquisiteness." How is it possible to win in the popular selection? ’
"Rules of the game." Wang Xiangjun said directly, "Okay, you will understand later." ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Xiangjun directly gave a menu, and after putting the menu in front of everyone, he cleared his throat and said: "This time, we all have to participate, I know that you may not be good at cooking." It does not matter.
Everyone has at least one or two things that they are good at, and those with a strong sense of time can help me take care of the heat of the dish. Skillful, I can temporarily teach you a few tricks of knife work, even if you don't know anything, come and help wash and wash it, and you can make some effort. ’
Hearing Wang Xiangjun say this, everyone hurriedly nodded: "No problem, what do you say to the squad leader, we will listen to you." ’
Wang Xiangjun showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, since this is the case, let's work hard, and then we will work hard." ”
After Wang Xiangjun finished speaking, he directly pulled everyone to get busy, and he was busy until midnight.
Seeing that it was already late, Wang Xiangjun began to rest with everyone, and the next day, when it was not dawn, he called everyone up and went to work all kinds of things, and saw that it was noon. When most of the people had already gathered next to the banquet hall, Wang Xiangjun, Lin Song and others could be regarded as sending their 'works' to the booth.
Soon, there were many people gathered around, and when the host of the venue announced the start of the tasting and selection, the scene suddenly became bustling, and Wang Xiangjun cleared his throat: "Come on, have a good taste." We finally went on an overseas mission, and we had this opportunity to taste authentic food from all over the world, so let's not waste the opportunity. ’
Seeing Wang Xiangjun so confident, his comrades-in-arms also put their minds at ease, and several team members led by Lin Song began to taste the delicacies of various countries.
Lin Song walked to the front of the booth of the Wa Kingdom, which was a little different from that of other countries, where most of the finished dishes were left in place for the participants to access freely.
But the Wa Kingdom is different, their booth, strictly speaking, is actually an operating table, all kinds of fresh ingredients are placed next to it, who comes to order food on the spot, they make it on the spot.
The reason is very simple, the country itself is very poor, and the ingredients produced are far inferior to other countries in terms of type, quantity, and quality.
Fortunately, they are an island country, and the marine resources are still quite abundant, so the cooks of the Wa country began to start with those marine fresh, and the core point of their cooking is to maintain a fresh word, only after the umami has been guaranteed by nature, they seem to be able to eat with peace of mind.
Seeing Lin Song coming over, the two muscular looking guys behind the booth had a smile on their faces: "Welcome Mr. to taste our food." ”
Lin Song looked at it and said directly: "I want a sea bream sushi." ”
As soon as the two of them heard about it, they immediately got busy, and Lin Song saw them spread a large seaweed sheet on the platform. Then someone put the rice on top, smoothed it with a thin piece of bamboo, and then added chilled sea bream meat, fish roe and other ingredients on top of it, and finally rolled it up, cut it back and forth twice with a knife, and put it on a plate in front of Lin Song.
Lin Song was about to eat when he heard the Japanese cook hurriedly say, "Sir, please wait a moment. ’
As he spoke, the chef handed over a stack of soy sauce, and then used a piece of ginger-like appearance, swiped it back and forth on a board a few times, and finally used the blade of a knife to put the ground pale green thing on the plate.
"It's fresh wasabi, and it's different from what you usually buy."
