Chapter 435: Cooking Feast (Part II)
"Looks like you've recognized it."
Qian Chen smiled.
Hoffman glared at him.
"The famous Beijing roast duck, the old man still tasted it, but he didn't expect to eat it again after returning to France."
Qian Chen said with a smile on his face.
"So I think it's time to get to the bottom of the mystery as well.
From the very beginning, in order to ensure the quality of the dishes, I only made two dishes, which were the Beijing roast duck and the main course. It's just that I divided a Beijing roast duck into four dishes.
The duck meat is mashed into duck minced food to make a Russian potato salad, the duck bones are used to make soup, the duck skin is sliced to make a slice of duck, and finally the duck breast is made into another dish... ”
Hoffman burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! What a first-of-all-foreigner chief of Joan of Arc Academy!
Although the process is a bit tricky, you really do have three different dishes! The rest of the duck breast dish and your main course also made us look forward to it.
A dish of 'four eat Beijing roast duck', congratulations! Successfully broke the flaw of numbers! ”
Hoffman's words were heard on the microphone and into the ears of all the audience in front of the television.
I see! ’
This thought invariably came to everyone's minds.
"Awesome! He deserves to be the chief of the academy! ”
"One dish can be divided into four dishes! And it's four completely different dishes! ”
"The most important thing is that the Prime Minister has also approved!"
"Amazing cooking! Amazing Celestial Empire! ”
Compared with the exclamations of ordinary spectators, the aristocratic stands were much quieter, and they were like frosted eggplants, and the whole person was stunned.
"Everyone, don't worry. He was just using tricks to erase the numerical disadvantage, but that didn't mean he could win the game. ”
"That's right! We should have faith in Bel Coolley! Confidence in Dean Albert! Have faith in the entire King's Chamber! They're a trifecta! It's impossible to lose! ”
Only this time, the clamor of a few nobles did not arouse the echo of the others, and even they seemed a little unconfident when they spoke themselves.
Of course, the most shocking thing is the crowd on the same stage.
In particular, the area of the King's Branch was in a panic, and as long as his eyes were not blind, he could see that the Prime Minister liked Qian Chen's cuisine very much.
This does not bode well.
"How, what to do? Lord Belkuli, he actually overcame the numerical deficit.
I—We're not really going to lose, are we? ”
Rubeck stammered with a panicked expression.
Under his influence, the other team members also showed extremely nervous expressions on their faces, and they could no longer see the ease and confidence they had at the beginning.
"Panic what! We haven't lost yet! The final result hasn't come out yet, and besides, we have been praised by His Excellency the Prime Minister, there is no reason why we will lose to Qian Chen! ”
Belkuli said angrily.
It's just that his words seem a little pale, more like a denial of reluctance to accept reality.
His words were clearly ineffective, and Rubeck clasped his head in his hands and muttered to himself in some frustration.
"I don't want to kneel in front of so many people! If I bring the name of 'Emerson' to shame, my father will surely kill me!"
That's right! Just like my big brother! To be exempted from inheritance and then thrown to the small countries of Northern Europe left me to fend for myself!
No! I don't want to accept exile with no return! ”
"Rubeck! You shut up! ”
Rubeck's words clearly touched a sensitive nerve at Belkuli. Although he didn't want to admit it, subconsciously he already thought he was going to lose.
Rubek's prophecy was at the same time the outcome of his fears.
After all, in addition to having many family properties, nobles also have many children, and the competition between heirs is far more cruel than the outside world imagines.
Heaven on one side and hell on the other.
If he wins, he has a high probability of inheriting the dukedom, and if he loses, he will also be exiled from which he will never return.
Once you fail, you never stand a chance, and this is the brutal aristocratic world of France.
While Belkuli was suffering from gains and losses, the judging on stage continued.
The fourth dish, fish.
"Stir-fried deep-sea cod fillet, please taste it."
On the plate is a piece of cod meat fried to a slight golden brown surface and covered with mashed potatoes underneath.
Hoffman swiped lightly with a knife, accompanied by a little gravy, revealing the white flesh of the fish inside.
He shoved the fish into his mouth.
"Hmmm! Quite tender! It's a pretty good way to get a good grasp of the heat! The mashed potatoes are also very flavorful! ”
It can be seen that Hoffman is still very satisfied.
With his evaluation, in the team of the queen's branch in the audience, a purple-haired girl suddenly clenched her fists.
But that's just the appetizer, the next thing is the most important thing, and it's the essence of a French feast!
The fifth course, the main course!
The sound of the scene involuntarily quieted down, and countless pairs of eyes stared at the covered iron plate held by Qian Chen on the big screen without blinking.
The strange thing is that after Qian Chen put the plate down, he actually opened the lid directly, but did not introduce it as usual.
But Hoffman's attention was completely absorbed by the dish in front of him.
The moment Qian Chen lifted the lid, a dazzling golden light bloomed from it.
Hoffman was shocked, and when he looked more closely, there was nothing.
'Is this an illusion?' Or is it the reflection of light? ’
Just as he was in doubt, a strange fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
It is a mixture of countless spices and roasted beef, creating a unique flavor of the dish itself.
On the plate, there was a rectangular steak with bones, which was a straight rib the size of a student's ruler, and a piece of steak was cut into a rectangle, showing a dark brown steak, on which you could vaguely see the sporadic spice powder, which was releasing an infinite aroma.
Hoffman had never tasted a bone-in steak of this shape, and the irresistible aroma combined with intense curiosity drove him to pick up a knife and fork.
However, just as he was about to make a move.
"Slow down!"
A voice stopped him.
Hoffman immediately looked up with a disgruntled look on his face.
"This dish isn't finished yet."
Qian Chen said, picked up the crystal cup next to him, and poured the transparent liquid inside on the steak.
Luis and Octavia, who were on the side, made the same move to handle the steak in front of the other two judges.
A strong aroma of wine came, and Hoffman subconsciously sniffled and said with a surprised face.
"It's rum!?"
