Chapter 67: Breaking Through (Seeking Collections, Seeking Recommendations)
"It's time! ”
An hour later, Xiao Er, who was in charge of singing, shouted loudly.
The kitchen door opened, and Chen Hu and Chef Wang walked out of the kitchen one after another.
"Hmph, boy, it's not that you have good knife skills that mean you're good at cooking, and then the old man will let you understand what a real chef is." Chef Wang, who was full of confidence in the dishes he made and wanted to save face from this, snorted proudly at Chen Hu beside him.
"I'll see. Chen Hu's expression remained unchanged and he smiled.
Lingcai Zaihand, even if it is the lowest, and it is a version that has been improved by him with secular methods, it is not comparable to ordinary delicacies, and he is not afraid of Chef Wang's dishes.
"You two, I wonder which of you came first?" the five judges looked at each other, and then one of the older men asked.
"I'll come first. Chef Wang glanced at Chen Hu, did not hesitate, and immediately stepped forward.
Confidence is self-confidence, but in order to avoid capsizing in the gutter, Chef Wang still chose to take the lead and lock the taste of the five judges with taste, so that they can lower their scores when they taste Chen Hu's works.
After all, taste is a thing that affects each other, and the heavy taste is clear, so as long as you are not a professional taster, no matter how many times you rinse your mouth, there will be some other flavors left in your mouth. Or the smell of water, or the breath, or the remnants of previous dishes......
Coupled with the influence of preconceived notions, the dishes that come later will indeed be affected to a certain extent, making the rating lower.
Of course, this is only for the case that the dish is slightly weaker, and for the really good dish, even if it is the last, it can still overpower the appetizer, obtain the residual taste and impression, and break the 'wall' left by the appetizer.
Chen Hu understood this from time to time, his eyes flashed, he smiled lightly, and motioned to Chef Wang to deliver the food first.
At this point, there is nothing to change, but it is better to be more atmospheric, leave a good impression, and strive for some extra points for yourself.
Immediately, Chef Wang stepped forward with a tray and placed the tray on the long table in front of the five judges, and then lifted the lid, revealing the dishes with golden color, crispy skin, and duck image hidden above the fog-
"This is my specialty dish - drunken fairy duck. Chef Wang said proudly.
has been making crispy duck for so long, almost everyone has forgotten that their famous dish is drunken fairy duck, not crispy duck.
Although the two look similar on the surface, there doesn't seem to be much difference from the outside.
The aroma was so fragrant that the five judges subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Gollum. ”
Not to mention other people, everyone is eager to take the judges' place and taste Chef Wang's drunken duck.
"A few of you, please taste it. ”
The five judges did not hesitate, each picked up a slice of sliced duck meat with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth to taste.
"Hmm...... It's so crispy!"
This is the first feeling of the five judges on the duck meat, and then it is good oil, good fragrance, excellent taste, both the meat taste of the duck itself and the aroma of wine, as well as the taste of seasoning, fully neutralizing the meat oil in the duck meat, so that people feel delicious while eating, and there is not too much greasy.
Then the spiritual illusion mirror contained in the duck opened, poured into the minds of the five judges, and led them into a strange world - the duck was swimming in the wine pool, and the white stripe looked like a beauty, doing all kinds of seductive movements.
It's just a pity that they are ducks, not real beauties, so although the five judges saw it, they could only feel the presence of the aroma and smell of the wine, and the breath surged, making them feel as if they had really drunk three catties of fine wine, and the whole person became intoxicated.
Until a moment later.
"Whew! is worthy of Master Wang, good craftsmanship. The judge, who was the first to come back to his senses, exhaled lightly, looked at Chef Wang and admired.
"You're welcome. Chef Wang said modestly. It's just that there is smugness in his eyes, but he can't hide it, and it is clearly revealed.
"Alright, it's your turn. After a while, after bringing everyone to sober, Chef Wang turned his head and sneered faintly at Chen Hu on the side.
"It's been a long wait. Chen Hu smiled, walked slowly to the judging table, and put down the tray in his hand, "The dish I want to present this time is - revised version of chalcedony Qingming porridge." ”
As he spoke, Chen Hu lifted the lid for Baowen, revealing five white porcelain bowls with white porridge inside.
The soft, jade-like glow poured out of the porridge bowl, echoing the scattered mist, setting off the five bowls of white porridge on the plate, like a delicacy of the fairy family.
The mountain treasure loomed in the fog, and the medicinal gas was fragrant in the fog, which made the five judges who smelled it nearby couldn't help but be shocked, and completely woke up from the previous drunken fairy duck's glamorous feeling.
"It's actually a spiritual dish! And it's a revised version!"
"Which master chef are you?"
"This scene, this taste, is really a spiritual food!"
The three judges were in an uproar and unceremoniously let out their own admiration, which also made the faces of Chef Wang and the shopkeeper on the side, who were originally complacent, change greatly and fall into a deep panic.
The former didn't expect his opponent to come up with a spiritual dish, and the latter was a jealousy of Chen Hu's identity.
If he was the truth that the judges guessed that it might be a disciple of a special chef, then he really didn't dare to think anything about Chen Hu.
There is no other reason, just because there is a master of a special chef and a special chef, which is not something that a shopkeeper hired by an ordinary person can trap.
"It's over, it's over, this time it's probably going to be really over. The shopkeeper's face was depressed, and he complained to Chef Wang in his heart.
If he hadn't come out and taken on the challenge himself, how would things have come to this point?
Chen Hu smiled and said nothing, but invited the five judges, "Please also invite a few more to taste." ”
"It's rare to have the opportunity to eat spiritual food in this false world, everyone, you're welcome. A judge who looked like a son of the whole family spoke.
Then he reached out and grabbed a porcelain bowl, scooped it lightly with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of white porridge, blew it twice and put it into his mouth.
The temperature was just right, so the aroma that combined the umami of the broth, the essence of medicinal herbs, and the elegant taste of mountain vegetables exploded in his mouth, like a flood, instantly cleaning away the original residual taste of drunken duck in his mouth, replacing it with filling his heart.
The essence of the rice rushed, mixed with the smell of medicinal herbs, mountain delicacies, and vegetables, like a mad wild boar, rushing into his mind, forcibly opening up a natural scene of mountains and wilderness in his mind.
White-skinned domestic pigs wreak havoc in it, and the pig's nose keeps eating the delicacies of the field.
"What a waste, what a waste!" the man exclaimed in distress as he looked at the various delicacies that had been trampled by the pigs.
"Wait, don't touch my porridge!"
Spoonful after spoonful, soon, the five bowls of porridge were wiped out by the five judges, and all of them showed an unfinished expression on their faces.
"Anything else?"
"One more bowl. ”
"Sorry, it's only this bowl. Chen Hu smiled.
At this point, he no longer doubted that his improvement was successful, and it also meant that he had won the cooking competition with Chef Wang of Fun Xuan, and completely launched his reputation.
"The next step is to make persistent efforts, defeat more opponents, and leave your mark deeply in the memories of many diners and chefs in Yanyun City!"
