"Whew!" The old judge swallowed the last bit of chicken and let out a sigh of relief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Judge, seeing that you have such a good meal, can you comment on Rob's dish?" The host said with resentment.
"Reviews, forget it!" The old judge said subconsciously. But then he realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained: "I mean that the level of this dish has far exceeded my level, and I am not qualified to comment on it." ”
As soon as these words came out, an exclamation suddenly sounded. This is not a review but it is better than a review, and it is the highest praise of the old judges for this dish.
"That's too much, isn't it?" The host said secretly in his heart. The people didn't even eat the dishes just now, and they just bombarded the people down, and this asked the old people of the Longting Hotel, and immediately said that they were not qualified to comment? Isn't it an insider!
Although he himself thought it was unlikely, after all, he had eaten all his dishes by the judges, and he didn't catch them at all. Without practice, there is no right to speak, so he can only let these judges say something.
At the host's behing, the old judge pondered for a while and said slowly: "The taste of this steamed chicken is delicious, which can be described as delicious, but the taste of the chicken is so wonderful that I can't describe it in words." ”
"A person's taste can be divided into numb, spicy, sour, sweet, fresh, salty, sweet, mellow, light, refreshing, smooth, crisp, tender, soft, soft, and strong. Among them, the taste is the taste, including numb, spicy, sour, sweet, fresh, salty, sweet, mellow, and light. The mouth is the taste, including refreshing, smooth, crisp, tender, soft, soft, and firm. ”
"The highest level of our chefs is 'those who have taste make it come out, and those who have no taste make it in!' Why do we still make something that doesn't have a taste? It's because it tastes good. A skilled chef can add the flavors of other ingredients to ingredients that have no flavor but have a good texture, and the two complement each other to form the perfect combination. ”
"Today's dish brings out the original flavor of chicken to the extreme, and to be honest, I can do that. But the texture of this chicken is so good, I wonder if I can't grasp the heat. ”
Rob really doesn't have to say anything about the heat of this chicken, but he is slightly inferior to the spices needed to steam the chicken, so the taste is not perfect enough, and the judge's words are indeed true.
At this time, the young judge spoke: "Not only is it delicious and speechless, but it also seems to inject a wave of energy into my body, which makes my whole person feel refreshed!" ”
Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, the young judge's face, which was originally a little pale because of Zhen Ruhua's surprise, now became red and full of blood.
"Rob. It is known as the god of food in Dahua, and the best thing is to strengthen the body, beautify and nourish the face, and the chicken noodles can be sold for 100 bowls! Alas, hey, it's amazing, it turns out that it's really a big supplement, and the local foodie group has spread! The host kept rummaging with his mobile phone and said in surprise.
"Sure enough, the name is well deserved, but I think although this chicken can replenish vitality, the energy you say should still be the positive energy that everyone often says!" The middle-aged judge, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes at this time and said in a matter-of-fact manner.
"I think my push is high enough, I didn't expect you to be higher! It has been raised to the level of positive energy. I really want to ask you, 'Is your surname Fu?' The host heard the judges say that the better the food, the heavier the resentment of not eating, and couldn't help complaining.
"I felt deeply insulted after experiencing the dishes of the first three contestants, so my heart was full of anger! But after eating this steamed chicken, my mood was unexpectedly calm. This dish evokes a good feeling in my heart and fills my heart with a sense of happiness. I feel that being able to eat this dish is my greatest happiness! And I can't help but share this happiness, the anger just now, was diluted by this happiness without a trace, you say, isn't this positive energy? ”
"It seems to be true! I regret it now, I should have tasted what those dishes were like! The old judge slapped his thigh with regret as if he had missed something delicious.
"What? Just those few dishes, it's disgusting to look at, and you regret not eating it? The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.
"You know what? There's a right to compare everything, isn't it? If I had eaten those dishes just now, I might have gained a greater sense of happiness now! No matter how bad they are, they can be the green leaves that set off the safflowers, right? Do you think I should regret it! And every dish has its value, just like a person who has been hungry for a long time, giving him a bowl of hot millet porridge can make him feel the beauty of the world. I despise food, and as a chef, I shouldn't be! ”
"People don't have front and back eyes, and the things behind can't be predicted at all, so don't be too demanding! Besides, no one expected that those dishes had gorgeous names, which seemed to be a well-cooked and good dish, but turned out to be something that did not live up to its name. And although the name of this steamed chicken is very simple, it is not simple at all. Therefore, you can't just look at the name of the food, just like you can't just look at the brand when buying something! It's not your fault that these people have cheated on the way they go, and it's not your fault," the young chef said with a smile.
Then he said: "Although the comments of the two are not useful to the chef who made this dish, they have a lot of suggestions for me, a late learner." Just now I suddenly realized a truth. ”
"I used to have a shallow understanding of the beauty of food! It turns out that this beauty is not limited to the feeling of the eyes and mouth, but the feeling of the heart. And every time I go home, I eat the home-cooked food that my mother cooks for me, and I think the taste is much stronger than the delicacies of the mountains and seas, isn't this the meaning of food? ”
"And my chef once said that the beauty of this food is both an adjective and a verb. Some foods are inherently beautiful, and eating them raw can make people feel its beauty without handling. And there are foods that we chefs need to give them beauty, or discover their beauty. ”
"Hahaha, your kid's cooking skills seem to have made a breakthrough again! If you can integrate your ideas today into your cooking skills during this time, you will still have the opportunity to represent our Yangcheng Restaurant Association in the Lu Provincial Chef Competition. The middle-aged chef couldn't help but praise.
"Young people have good brains, and they speak what is in my heart. However, your words are still slightly biased, our chefs work hard to study the art of cooking, is it really not comparable to the craftsmanship of ordinary housewives? You think your mother's cooking is good, it is because the food contains your mother's love for you, and at the same time, you have a deep affection for your mother. ”
"But what if it's someone else? It's not that just because you cook a home-cooked dish and tell someone that you're doing the same thing will stir up good feelings in your diners. The composition of a dish is the color, flavor and shape, what our chef does is to use the color, flavor and shape of the dish to form an artistic conception and stimulate the emotions in the hearts of diners, so we chefs still have to cook to impress diners, cooking is our foundation, not blindly pursue the so-called meaning. ”
