Chapter Fifty-Eight: Colorful
"Eight, the dark incense floats!" Rob stepped forward and pulled out a piece of paper. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The number one on the info piece of paper, he understood, was the eighth group to play. But what the hell is this dark incense floating?
"Isn't the competition just about making a dish for people to eat, and whoever thinks it's delicious wins? Why is it so complicated, bullying me for not going to school enough? Rob felt that his pure heart had been deceived, and thought indignantly, completely forgetting that he had never competed, so he had no idea what the real race was like.
"If this trend continues, it's not a matter of whether I can win or not, but a matter of embarrassment on my appearance! How good is that! Just when Rob was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and spinning, a fairy voice sounded and relieved him: "The first group of contestants, please play, their topic is colorful, and the main test is the color matching in the dishes!" ”
I see! Fortunately, his appearance order is the last group, so there are seven groups in front of him as free teaching materials. And in order to show off himself, this host made an explanation, so that he could temporarily hold on to his feet and take the opportunity to learn, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation.
At this moment, two groups of cooks walked to the stove. Everyone is in a regular restaurant, the chef has a helper, several people work together, the colorful ingredients fly up and down in the hands of the chef, the aroma wafts in front of the stove, and the two dishes are made and served in front of the judges.
"It's a test of the chef's grasp of the color of the dish, so the scoring criteria is based on who can incorporate more colorful ingredients into the dish and still be a complete dish."
"I would like to invite the first Chef Zhao to present his work with five-color soup!"
With the introduction of the host, a bewitching lady of etiquette stepped forward with a large soup plate, put the dishes in front of Long Shao, and then glanced at Long Shao with affection, and then walked down with a twist.
I saw that this five-color soup is composed of five colors, namely black, white, red, yellow, and green, which are located in the four directions and the center of the soup plate according to the direction of the five elements.
At this time, a tall man, that is, Chef Zhao, explained: "Oriental wood, I use celery juice to add to the porridge made of barley noodles, so it shows green." In the south, it is a fire, and the carrot juice is added to the porridge boiled with brown rice flour. In the West, it is golden, and milk is added to the porridge made from rice flour. The northern part is water, and black sesame paste is used. The middle is earthy, and the soup made of pumpkin is used. ”
After listening to the introduction, the five judges each took a spoonful of spoon, then tasted it carefully, and then nodded their heads one after another.
The host hurriedly shouted again: "Now I have to invite the second Chef Qian to present a kaleidoscope of his works!" ”
Then another hostess came over with a plate. Compared with the five-color soup just now, this dish has a little less flavor of Chinese culture. I saw that it was made up of something similar to the appearance of Japanese sushi, neatly stacked on a plate.
At this time, a young man smiled and said confidently: "Judges, I have selected seasonal vegetables of various colors to make a salad. Then wrap it in seaweed, egg skin, tofu skin, etc., and cut it into a round tube, just like the kaleidoscope I played with when I was a child, it is novel and cute! ”
With that, he walked over and pressed the edge of the plate and turned it slightly, and the plate turned. As soon as the plate turned, the existence of a single flower-like existence gradually became blurred and became a colorful whole.
"Meow, meow! Sure enough, it fits the colorful theme very well, and what is even more rare is that it imitates the sushi method in Japanese cuisine and makes a salad in Western food. Very international, I like it very much! ”
It was Long Shao who spoke, he waited for the plate to stop turning, picked up a piece and ate it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then nodded and said: "The taste is not bad, I will give this kaleidoscope this vote." ”
Li Tiegang, the only provincial-level special chef in Nayang City, also ate a piece, but shook his head and said: "These five colors represent the five elements, and the five elements represent the five internal organs of people. Therefore, this five-color soup can nourish people's five internal organs, which is a rare good product for health preservation. And this dish contains a strong Chinese culture, so I voted for the five-color soup. ”
The other three have also tasted this kaleidoscope, and Zhang Zhishi, as the president, is also an old-school chef, and he has a preference for the five-color soup, a dish full of Chinese flavor, so he did not hesitate to steal a vote for the five-color soup.
Yang Ming of the magazine is different, he likes gimmicks in the media, and this young chef Qian made this kaleidoscope obviously very much in line with his concept: "This kaleidoscope is full of creativity and novelty, and it can arouse people's interest at once, I vote for it!" ”
The host shouted loudly: "The current situation is 2-2, and there is still one Mr. Zhang Dawan who has not voted." As a painter, this Mr. Zhang can be said to be lustful, so the decisive vote should be cast by him! ”
Zhang Dawan listened to the host's comment of "lustful as life", and also smiled heartily, and commented slowly: "Although this kaleidoscope is a bit tricky, there are more colors in the dish after all." And the five-color soup has only five colors, and from this side alone, it is undoubtedly a kaleidoscope winner. Although the five-color soup is better in other ways, it is more appropriate to evaluate it in terms of my ability or color, so I voted for ???"
"Teacher Zhang, please wait a moment!" Chef Zhao suddenly interrupted Zhang Dawan's vote, and under the suspicious gaze of everyone, he walked to the soup plate containing the five-color soup, rolled out a spoonful of green and yellow soup with a spoon, put it into a small dish and stirred gently. I saw him stirring, and the emerald green and yellow soup gradually fused, forming a new soup of tender green!
Zhang Dawan slapped his head and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect this soup to be blendable like paint!" In this way, there are so many colors that can be reconciled by these five colors, far more than a kaleidoscope! There is an old Chinese saying that one life is two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things! Of course, these three colors can also give birth to ten thousand colors! It was my mistake that I voted for the five-color soup! ”
"Good! The first group of matches is over, and the winner is Chef Zhao! Seeing that things had reversed in the end, the host couldn't help but announce loudly excitedly.
Chef Zhao also let out a long breath, with a look of joy on his face. He also secretly said that he was lucky: "The taste of this color fusion is really not good, but fortunately, the final comparison is the color, so I won this game!" ”
