Chapter 103: Cooking Duel (5)

Yang Huairen just made a pot of iced green tea to prepare for the judgment later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The grit in the hourglass was almost gone, and only the last tenth remained.

The rice and rice in the steamer on Yang Huairen's side have been steamed, and he has already begun to take out the yard plate, Wei Cai's side is a little more potted than him at night, so he has to wait a little, which makes Wei Cai anxiously look at the hourglass on the table from time to time.

In the culinary teaching of later generations, in addition to the requirements for the taste of food, there are also great requirements for the aesthetics of the entire finished dish, and even the utensils used to serve the dishes are also very particular.

Yang Huairen was affected by this, and naturally he kept improving his dishes as if they were the same works.

The small porcelain plate he used to serve the rice was specially prepared, which was also his request to the Qinglian Gang.

Lan Ruoxin didn't take it seriously at first, but according to what Yang Huairen said, he sent someone to Ruzhou, Yingchang Mansion to specially customize some porcelain plates.

If she could see Yang Huairen's rice dish today, she would definitely exclaim like the two hundred spectators present that this originally ordinary dish could have such a beautiful and moving appearance.

The azure porcelain plate was first stacked with a ball of rice, a hill-like white and reflected oil brilliance, and then a piece of steamed and gray-black rice was put on it, and finally, Yang Huairen took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, dipped the red liquid in the porcelain bottle with a clean brush, and lightly brushed a layer around the porcelain.

The whole finished product looks like a dish, it is a fairyland, which makes people think of a temple with red tiles and gray walls on a mountain surrounded by clear water.

Everyone was confused about what Yang Huairen had brushed on the fish, and suddenly someone in the audience screamed.

Now everyone sighs that today's cooking showdown in Guiyanlou is really wonderful, the two contestants make the same dish from the beginning, and the processing and production methods of the ingredients in the middle are amazingly similar, until the moment before the final dish, the last process coincides.

Yang Huairen was taken aback by the audience and didn't care much about it, but when he saw Wei Cai also take out a similar porcelain bottle from his arms and smear a layer of crimson sauce on his skewer, he couldn't believe his eyes!

Even, a god, this, this, how is this possible?!

Yang Huairen almost shouted in surprise, he finally understood what Wei Lao'er's killer weapon was, just from the appearance, what he contained in that bottle was chili sauce!

This is completely unscientific! Yang Huairen said that chili peppers are native to the Americas, and it was only after Columbus discovered the New World in the 15th century that the new species of chili peppers was brought back to Europe.

It took more than 100 years for the Dutch to bring it to Asia, and it was cultivated in Luzon, and chili peppers, the most commonly used seasoning vegetables in modern times, were introduced to Asia.

It was not until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that chili peppers were introduced to China by sea and land, and it was not until the eighteenth century that they were officially on the table of the Chinese.

And now it's the Song Dynasty, Yang Huairen's chili pepper was brought over during his unexplained crossing, if you put it that way, where did Wei Lao'er's chili come from? Could it be that this old boy also crossed over?

Yang Huairen was in a trance, the victory or defeat of the cooking competition had been left behind, and he was eager to know where Wei Lao'er's chili pepper came from, and what Wei Cai's mysterious identity was.

Yang Huairen thought of many possibilities in his heart, but he couldn't explain them, seeing that the fine sand on the hourglass was about to fall, he had to mechanically put each tray of finished fish into the tray, and put a cup of iced green tea in each tray.

Wei Lao'er was afraid that he would not have enough time, so he only focused on stacking his squid, and only in the end did he take out the ancestral secret seasoning and smear it on the stub.

After everything was done, he sang a breath, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face, he felt that all his physical strength was used up, he used up all his energy for this dish, and used all his cooking skills, even the killer weapon of the Wei family's secret was invited, he didn't believe that Yang Huairen could still defeat him.

When he saw that Yang Huairen's finished fish had another layer of red and unknown seasoning, he was even more surprised than Yang Huairen, and the blood in his body seemed to have stopped flowing, as if the three souls and six spirits were about to go out of his body.

That's impossible!

Wei Cai couldn't believe that he had never shown such a seasoning, and the raw materials were extremely rare, he couldn't believe that Yang Huairen would have such ability.

The little waiter in Guiyanlou also brought the two dishes to the two of them as a mutual exchange of tasting, Yang Huairen and Wei Cai carefully observed the fish made by each other, and found that the two of them used the same special seasoning as red was also different.

Yang Huairen used red oil, while Wei Cai used a darker red sauce.

They got closer and sniffed hard, the taste was similar, but not exactly the same, and both of them looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what ingredients each other used to make such a final seasoning.

The two rays were placed in front of the ten judges and the prince at the same time. Although the prince is the initiator and organizer of this event, he is not a judge, looking at the delicious food in front of him, he has to endure the persecution of the greedy insects first, waiting for the judges to taste it first.

A chubby judge from the Beijing Restaurant Chamber of Commerce touched his big belly and smiled: "Today is really a blessing, first of all, thank the two chefs for bringing us this delicious dish."

In our kitchen, we make a dish that is full of color, flavor and flavor. The first is to look at the colors.

The two dishes can be said to use the same ingredients, so the style of the plate is similar, but the utensils used are different.

Chef Yang used a porcelain plate from Ru kiln celadon as the base, which is indeed new, but Chef Wei used a simple and simple white porcelain plate as the base, which highlights the simple and simple artistic conception of this dish. ”

When Wei Lao'er heard this, he praised him in his heart for being an old buddy, he has been operating in the restaurant chamber of commerce for many years, and it was not in vain, he still has this face.

Yang Huairen could only smile bitterly when he heard this, what he was worried about earlier still happened now, if Wei Lao'er really has the same chili pepper, then as long as the difference in the taste of the two people is not too big, then the old relationship in the restaurant chamber that people have worked hard to maintain for many years will always be more or less biased towards him.

Moreover, since ancient times, Chinese have paid attention to respecting the elderly, and if the taste of the same dish made by two people is really similar, then when choosing between them, they will naturally think that young people have more time, and subjectively tend to the older one.

Master Li, who had never spoken, suddenly said lightly: "What this judge said is reasonable, but you first talked about the truth that the color and flavor are complete, so Chef Yang used the exquisite porcelain plate of azure porcelain as a container, isn't it more colorful, and can induce people's appetite for a dish through its beautiful appearance?"

When it comes to artistic conception, Chef Yang's plate seems to make people feel like they are surrounded by clouds and mist between the green mountains and clear waters. ”
