760 Familiar Strangers
Abbe's cuisine is perhaps the most exotic of all the chefs in the room.
Although there is a golden soup, although it is wrapped in the belly of the fish, it is clear that Abbe is not ready to use this to state his golden hall, but ......
"The so-called gold and jade hall, as the previous candidates did and thought, the most superficial meaning is that the house is filled with gold and jade."
Abbe smiled slightly, she had already thought of such an explanation at the beginning, but based on experience, or rather, judging by the skills taught by Merlin and Liu's father, this time the topic should not be so simple.
Although judging from the results of Nana Jia Leihua and others later, the assessment restrictions should have been relaxed a lot this time, but Abei, who was taught by Merlin and Liu's father, was not prepared to hand over the simplest answer.
Just like a written test, when asking about the meaning of a certain sentence, some people can push out the most superficial meaning, someone can push out the second layer of meaning, and some people can clear the fog and deduce the deepest meaning.
Abbe thought for a long time in order to find out the core meaning of the topic of this exam.
And now, looking at the food on the table that has been almost eaten, it is obvious that Abbe has found it!
"It's not a mistake to use food and ingredients to refer to Jinyu and the house, but from my personal point of view, this time the topic should be more profound."
Abbe's words caused everyone to think deeply, and her cuisine, both in diversity and chill. They are much fuller than other people's dishes.
The layers of deliciousness. There are also new changes that arise from time to time. All of them attract everyone's heart all the time.
"But, what does this have to do with the golden jade hall?" A chef who didn't pass the guò exam asked, "As long as you can pass the guò exam, right?" ”
The chef's question spoke to the hearts of everyone present. Although they also have ideals and dreams, they are more because of the status and glory of the super chef.
They are blinded by external objects, and they do not think. In other words, I don't want to calm down and think about it, obviously there are many meanings of gold and jade, but why do everyone define the way of expression on the most superficial meaning?
"What Jin Yu Mantang refers to actually means a lot." It wasn't Abbe who answered, but Merlin on the side, "Of course, no matter which one of the people who knew it before, their cuisine. Going to a deeper level, we can see the meaning of 'many' and 'full'. And that's probably why the judges let them know guò, right? ”
After Merlin finished speaking, he looked at the examiner, not only him, but everyone present focused their eyes on the examiner after hearing Merlin's explanation.
"What you're saying is true." The examiner nodded.
He agreed with Merlin's statement, and as soon as he answered this, the sound of mourning rang out in the room.
"Is the title so simple?"
"If I knew I could, I would have made a large number of dishes!"
"Damn! Damn! ”
……
The failed chefs, their mentality at the moment can be imagined, obviously the exam questions are so simple, but why, why didn't they think of it?
As Abbe said earlier, this group of chefs, they just look at the most superficial things and ignore the rest.
It's like now, if the exam questions are really that simple, why would Abe bother to make such a complicated dish?
"Of course, if it's just the idea of 'more', then the examiner shouldn't let it go." Abbe explained, ignoring the stunned expressions of the people around her who heard her words, and just lowered her head to look at her 'fish' dish, "The so-called 'many' should be the same as 'golden jade' and 'house', and it needs to be expressed in a referential way." And the term I use, I'm sure you can also see, is the colorful cuisine of China! ”
Beijing-style roast duck, Sichuan-style mapo, snacks in Yunnan, boiled dishes in Guangdong......
Although the number of dishes made by Abbe is not large, the variety has already dazzled people.
If someone who is careful takes a closer look, then he will find that counting the golden soup and the 'fish' meat at the beginning, the dishes on the table contain a whole hundred delicious dishes!
'Baiwei Continent Map', the name of the cuisine, is indeed not exaggerated!
A dish makes a hundred flavors, and it represents the flavors of all parts of China, and the meaning of this is actually very obvious.
"The cuisine of China is complex, each region has its own characteristics, and the dishes with their own characteristics are eventually combined into a big family of Chinese cuisine...... Is it? ”
The examiner muttered softly, and the shock in his eyes had already reached the point of no return.
Someone really did it! Someone really finished the exam questions over there!
The examiner shouted in his heart, and he couldn't wait to immediately raise his hand and announce the qualification of the candidate in front of him as a special chef.
But...... The other party seems to have finished speaking?
How much surprise does this dish have to give me?!
"Let's move on."
"Yes."
Did you find out?
Abbe and Merlin looked at each other, then smiled contentedly.
"The diversity of Chinese cuisine is the core theme of my cuisine, but at the most superficial level, I didn't choose to forget about it, and at the same time, there is also the theme of 'fish' cuisine......"
Abbe pointed to the golden soup on the plate that had been drunk by everyone, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if waiting for everyone to react.
And the group of chefs, they didn't let Abbe wait for a long time, and it didn't take long for a candidate to tremble and make friends.
"I see! I understand! It turns out that the golden soup refers to gold and jade, and the delicacies in it represent Chinese cuisine. Plus the shape of the fish......"
The candidate's words had changed to a whispered murmur. But even so. The other chefs who heard his words had all understood by this time!
The shape of the fish symbolizes the theme of this time, and the golden soup on the outside refers to the most superficial meaning of the golden and jade hall, and the flavor inside the fish belly is the core, or the theme that is raised......
One dish, thirty minutes, the girl in front of her, actually achieved such a point!
The crowd who have already figured it out completely. Their eyes were already full of adoration when they looked at the girl.
Geniuses and demons may also attract envy and jealousy, but the higher level of existence will only be admired by people.
Everyone, including the judges, seems to see a rising star at this moment, and the girl named Liu Bei in front of her may leave her own mark in the history of Chinese cuisine like those top chefs.
Liu Bei, who came downstairs from Sichuan Juxia, broke the problem with the golden soup that represents the surface meaning of the goldfish full hall and the Baiwei Huaxia diagram that represents the meaning of sublimation. The food tastes good and the color is gorgeous. The smell is enticing, but it's actually an excellent, no, perfect dish...... Conclusion: Undoubtedly qualified! ”
"Yes, thank you."
"Yay! Great! ”
Abbe's expression was not shocked, but Nanajia on the side jumped up excitedly after hearing this.
"You're amazing, Abei, you're really amazing!"
"Uh, thank you."
Under Nanajia's stubborn stalking, Abbe's indifferent expression was broken lightly, and in his place, he looked towards Merlin for help.
Merlin, hurry up and save me!!!!
"Hehehe......"
Looking at the girl's pitiful appearance, everyone present couldn't help but let out a good-natured laugh.
Only then did they realize that the candidate in front of them was just a sixteen-year-old girl...... She has reached this point at the age of sixteen, and when she really grows up, maybe she will shock the whole world, right?
The examiner, as well as some older candidates, although they had nothing to do with Abbe, couldn't help but fantasize about that scene.
Chef Beijing Dragon's culinary showdown, the World Cuisine Tournament, and the qualifications for the audience that only the examiner knows......
No! It's not just Abbe! And Merlin!
Unlike other people who don't know Merlin's cooking skills, the examiner who has a good relationship with Shiquan has heard about Merlin's true strength from the other party.
That is a cooking skill that even Shiquan can't guarantee to win, and in the entire Chinese cuisine world, except for the dragon chef who served in the palace, Shiquan has never tasted a person so seriously!
Merlin's strength can be imagined!
Thinking of this, the examiner couldn't help but smile, a pair of lovers with very superb cooking skills, the future may be a husband and wife, they, even if not voluntary, but in the end, will definitely let the Chinese cuisine world, which has been calm for a long time, bloom its due light again.
Slowly retracting his divergent thoughts, the examiner clapped his hands, and after focusing everyone's attention, he continued, "The preliminary round of the Grand Chef Conference has been completed, and the chefs who have not passed the preliminary round are invited to leave, as for those who have passed the guò, please follow me next, and I will take you to the venue of the final." ”
"Huh?" "Isn't it?"
"We also want to taste the craftsmanship of Fairy Abe!"
"That's right! That's right! ”
I don't know when the way people call Abbe has changed.
'Fairy' is a special name in the culinary world, and only beautiful women who are skilled in cooking can get it.
Obviously, Abbe's cooking skills have won the hearts of everyone present, coupled with her already very cute appearance, a fairy, but it did not cause any backlash.
But......
Even if they called it that, in the end, the group was kicked out.
Are you kidding? The previous 'Baiwei Continent Map' didn't rob you, and then I left you behind, and after that, where is our share of the dishes made by Abbe?!
The examiners admit that their thoughts are a little dark, but in the face of food, no matter how dark their thoughts are, they must be forgiven, right?
……
Looking at Abbe and the other preliminary examiners who were already following the examiners, Merlin couldn't help but turn his head and ask the examiner who was about to take him to the stands. Speaking of which. I thought. After tasting Abbe's dish, you will not hesitate to judge her as a Grand Chef. ”
"I want to ...... too However, you also know that although I was the chief examiner in the preliminary round, in this final, I was just a guide...... "Spread your hands, examiner, no." Now it should be said that he is the guide, and his expression is a little helpless. "Your girlfriend's dish, even if it appears in the finals, is definitely the first without a doubt, as long as you pass the test of guò that symbolizes the pride of the chef, the qualification of the special chef will naturally be in hand, but it's a pity that ......"
"What a pity?"
Merlin was a little curious, he wasn't a participant in the game, so he didn't need to worry too much.
And hearing his question, the guide showed looking around, after making sure there was no one. Fang just stretched out his head and answered quietly. "The chief examiner and the other four examiners in the final this time, I heard that they are big names from Beijing City, eh, although the five are all women, but when it comes to strict Cheng Dù, they are even more powerful than the examiners on our side!"
"That's right."
Ah Zhai nodded when he heard this, he already understood what the other party meant, "To put it simply, it's that the examiner on your side has a little bit of a problem with those five people, right?" ”
"Ahem, so to speak."
The guide answers. Although he is just an ordinary examiner in the finals of each session, he is also a veteran of several sessions, and this time he was directly changed to a guide, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined.
"So, if you've heard what we've heard, don't take it too seriously, ......though," the guide looked around again, and then, turning his head and whispering, "Although the topic of the preliminary round this time was also set by those five women." ”
"No wonder the topic is so troublesome."
Merlin muttered, his words were so light that even the guide on the side didn't hear them clearly, but in the next second, a woman's voice sounded quietly in his ears.
"I'm really sorry for being such a troublesome woman."
"Wow!!!!"
Merlin was taken aback, and the guide beside him was already sweating like rain at this time.
"Your Excellency, Examiner!!!!!!!"
Turning his head, Merlin's eyes were filled with a beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous service.
A white hanfu carved with saucer-like tattoos is draped over the shoulders, and under the short skirt that has been modified to only half the thigh, there is a pair of white over-the-knee stockings, and the pink skin between the skirt and the stockings seems to freeze everyone's attention. And these are not the most dazzling places of this woman, under the short blue ear-length hair, the starry eyes are slightly open, as if awake but not awake, but it reveals a charming laziness, the white hat worn on the head, there is a thin red line on it, the thin line hangs down along the hair next to the ear, falls on the shoulders of incense, and seems to set off the fullness of the chest.
"Okay, don't chew the root of your tongue next time, do you understand?"
The woman nodded slightly, although she didn't use a heavy tone, but after listening to it, the guide immediately stood upright, and saluted at the same time, "Yes!" I understand! ”
"Alright, let's go down."
The woman waved her hand, the movements were very casual, but in Merlin's eyes, these movements seemed to blend into the surrounding environment.
"But ......"
The Guide, of course, wanted to leave, but his duty was not yet complete.
"Anyway, by the way, I'll take him over."
The woman seemed to see the embarrassment of the guide, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and at that moment, the ice and snow seemed to melt, and everything would be rejuvenated.
"Uh, I, I see."
In the end, the guide escaped and left, people who are not familiar with the woman may not know, but the guide, who has been working with the woman for a while, understands that once the woman shows a beautiful smile, then afterwards, someone will definitely be unlucky.
So, I'm sorry, I'll live with you!
The guide shouted inwardly as he abandoned his comrades and Merlin behind him, and disappeared into the hall after galloping all the way.
Then, there was the slightly eerie calm time in the hall.
The woman looked at Merlin, the memory and gentle expression on her face couldn't help but flash away, she felt the taste of liking that person in the other party's body, but the appearance of the person in front of her, as well as the momentum, and even the strength, were far from the person in her heart.
And Merlin, who was stared at by the woman, was strange to say, and he didn't have any boredom.
Rather, it seems somewhat familiar......
Wait a minute! Familiar!?
"Excuse me, is there something on my face?"
Merlin asked, he didn't know how to speak, did he ask the other party as soon as he came up, do you recognize me in the past?
Such an excuse for accosting is that those young people will no longer use it.
"No, nothing."
Interrupted by Merlin's words, the woman's expression suddenly fell, and she turned her head, but did not look at Merlin, just shook her head, and then walked forward. After taking a few steps in a row, the woman remembered what she had said before, turned around, and beckoned to Merlin, "Follow me." ”
Unlike the previous gentleness, the woman had now regained her cold appearance, and her tone was so flat that she couldn't even hear the slightest fluctuation.
If it were someone else, Merlin might not say anything, but his face would definitely not look good, but in the face of the woman in front of him, Merlin sincerely didn't want to disobey.
"Yes."
Stepping away, he didn't let the woman go any slower, Merlin just ran and ran, always following closely behind the woman.
And his action, the woman walking in front seemed to feel it, and after a slight pause, her walking speed slowed down, but in her heart, a thought suddenly flashed.
Really...... It's exactly the same as that guy! (To be continued......)
