Chapter Forty-Three: The Victory Has Been Decided (Part II)
"There's no need to taste your food!"
Xiao Yi's rhetoric was shocking, even Zod and Harpy on their side were shocked, and the sound outside the words seemed to be infinitely arrogant and arrogant, which meant that the gap between the two people did not need to be carefully judged, or that Foster's craftsmanship was extremely poor, no matter which was not like the remarks that Xiao Yi, who has always been very reasonable, would say.

"I admit that you are a very strong opponent, but I am in the best condition, and you insult me so much, what is your intention!" Foster looked at Xiao Yi viciously, if he hadn't just recovered from his state of extreme concentration, and he could still keep calm with the afterglow of his concentration, he would probably have thrown his fist to vent his anger.
"Insult?!Am I insulting you or are you insulting the profession of chef, and you dare to let others try it when you make the dish like this, it's really a shame for the chef!"
"You make it clear, what's wrong with what I'm making?" Foster now understood what Xiao Yi was referring to, as if he knew that the food he cooked was unpalatable and insisted on praising the delicious Zhenxiu to deceive people to eat it, this behavior was indeed insulting to the professional ethics of the chef, so he didn't dare to bear this charge no matter what, and he must fight for it with reason.
"You're not convinced, right, okay, then I'll let you understand!" Xiao Yi was very calm in his seriousness, which was really convincing to make people believe that Foster's dish was problematic.
"The lime shrimp and pea puree with pomegranate seeds have a refreshing taste, the ingredients are fresh and the knife work is in place, and the color matching is also outstanding, which is a good place......" Foster agreed with Xiao Yi's comments in this part, because his own confidence in this dish is exactly the same as what Xiao Yi said, but there is obviously a turn in obedience.
"But have you considered the layering of taste, the overall taste of the dish is sweet and sour, from this aspect the degree of harmony is obviously not enough, shrimp and peas are sweet, others have lime, pomegranate seeds, you should also put red wine juice and balsamic vinegar in the ingredients, it seems that you also noticed...... Do you feel a little too sour, I'm afraid that I will feel sick to my stomach before I eat half of this mixed sourness?
And I don't know what you think, I actually use something as troublesome as pomegranate seeds, if I eat it, I need to spit out from time to time during the meal, or do I have to take the time to clean the seeds stuffed between my teeth after the meal?"
Xiao Yi's words made Foster's face very bad, because he understood that Xiao Yi was telling the truth, as a craftsman-level chef, he should be familiar with the taste characteristics of the ingredients themselves, and the gap between top chefs and low-level chefs lies in this, a top chef can infer the final taste of even a dish that he has never made before, and on the contrary, the inference of ingredients and cooking techniques for the taste of the dishes can also be established, but it is not more difficult than the former.
The key is that Fawkes himself originally wanted to compete according to the original recipe formula, but halfway through being stimulated by Xiao Yi's skills and entering a state of concentration and comprehension, in this world, any professional is always pursuing this kind of miraculous state that can be encountered but not sought, because no matter what difference there is between professions, once they enter this state, they will often comprehend more experience and skills in their own field, and in the end, even if it is not the improvement of the realm level, it is not far away. Fawkes knew that he had entered the state of comprehension, so he made good use of it to improve the original recipe directly based on his intuition, but he didn't expect that after Xiao Yi's blow, he himself came to the same conclusion as the other party just by guessing, which means that the changes he just made in the state of comprehension are all wrong, but this is completely impossible!
It is not unreasonable to know that the state of comprehension is jokingly called a 'gift from the gods', and it is recorded in the historical records of thousands of years without exception that as long as one lets go of all one's defenses and resistance when entering the state, and everything is left to intuition and spontaneous perception, everything will be fine! Are historical documents deceiving? Countless witnesses over the past 10,000 years have appeared and said that they are all deceitful? This is absolutely impossible! Something must have gone wrong!
Xiao Yi didn't care what Foster was thinking now, and continued to comment on the rest of the dishes:
"Carrot bisque with cream is fine, but goat cheese ...... It will let the smell overshadow the other flavors, and you haven't treated it with other spices, and the toast should be fluffier to accompany the meal, so this soup as a whole can only be said to be a big failure!
...... The flavor of the beef loin steak is very strong, as long as the cooking technique is right, it is definitely the first choice for gourmets, and the red wine sauce is indeed the first choice for pairing, but you have already used the red wine sauce in the appetizer, I don't know how your master used to teach you how to cook, but I think a sauce can only be used once in a meal, and you tell me how mature the beef loin steak should be?"
“...... Fifty percent!" Fox whispered in disappointment, now that he couldn't think of anything to refute.
"Then tell me how ripe it is!" Xiao Yi quickly picked up a knife and fork to cut the steak from one of Fox's main dishes, and then picked it up with a fork to show everyone the brick-red and bloody cut noodles.
"That's really...... I don't even know what to say! Look at your soufflé, just by looking at the color, you can see that it's raw!"
The more Xiao Yi spoke, the more angry he became, with a completely disappointed look on his face, he took the aluminum cup used to make a mold to break the slightly browned dim sum skin on the surface, and then said to Foster's group of apprentices with the thin half-raw filling inside:
"You won't even make this kind of mistake!" replied to the silence of the audience and a group of lowered heads, Xiao Yi continued to turn back to Fox.
"If that's just a matter of cooking, then look at it, I've told you exactly how to use the baking oven before, but here all the plates are cold, and the top grease on the steak has begun to solidify.
...... Besides, you said that you often cook for the nobles, then I would like to ask how many of the ladies in the nobles' house like the taste of the beef loin steak, and whether you have prepared another main course with a lighter taste just in case.
...... Also, you didn't change your kitchen clothes before you started work, and you didn't even wear a hat...... Look what's on this plate, ah! Hair! I think you owe even the most basic respect to the diners, and now I will say it again, am I insulting you!"
Foster was silent, just lowered his head and said nothing, because Xiao Yi's duties were all true, and the only chagrin in his heart was that if it wasn't for his arrogance that he had asked for the competition at the beginning, he might not have to bear such humiliation at this moment. But he obviously entered the state of comprehension that everyone envied, but he was still completely defeated, could he really be a waste like the boss who once fired him! Otherwise, even the gifts of the gods could be wasted!
"Are you thinking that the state of comprehension is the root cause of your failure?" was broken by Xiao Yi's words, and Foster raised his head suddenly.
"To tell you the truth, it has nothing to do with that, I already expected this result when you proposed the competition, you were just defeated by yourself!"
