Chapter 247: Pasta
Judging Session......
"Huh? Isn't this knife-cut noodles with a lamb soup base? ”
"This red chili pepper looks very spicy when it looks like it."
"It just so happens that I like spicy food, but I can't wait."
……
With that, the judges began to taste.
"Suck and slip~"
The sound of eating noodles sounded.
"Ha~ so spicy!"
"It's spicy, but it's enjoyable, I feel like my whole body is warming up, and I'm starting to sweat."
"The noodles are as smooth as ever, and the spicy flavor stimulates the taste buds, which is really a double enjoyment of texture and taste."
"The soup base should be pork bone broth, which has a very strong flavor, with this chili pepper and mixed sauce, the taste is heavy, the green vegetables are a rare trace of freshness, and the noodles have a thick and tough texture, which makes people can't stop eating."
…………
Listening to the comments of the judges, the audience in the audience was also swallowing their saliva.
This is not uncommon, and many times, the audience swallows their saliva.
In addition to the tempting pastries made by the contestants, there is also the credit of the judges.
While eating, they commented on it, like a top-notch eating broadcast, which aroused everyone's appetite.
After eating a bowl of noodles, the judges leaned back in their chairs regardless of their image, reminiscing about the taste just now.
The spiciness has not yet dissipated, it is still lingering on the tip of the tongue, and the residual taste is still slowly aftertaste.
On the foreheads of each judge, a fine layer of sweat appeared, and this was because of the chili peppers.
In this rather cold weather, eating a bite of spicy food can dispel the chill in your body.
It took a while for the judges to come back to their senses.
They started giving scores.
The score given by each judge is above 90.
After removing the lowest and highest scores, Gao Dian's final score was:
96.75 points!
Higher score than he scored in the previous round.
Gao Dian understands that this is not because he is much better than the previous round, but because ...... Chili pepper!
In fact, mutton soup also has the effect of warming the stomach and wardring away cold, but it comes relatively slowly, and it may take a while to feel it.
The chili pepper is different, the cold repelling effect of the chili pepper is more obvious and faster.
In cold weather, eating a bite of chili pepper will add a lot of points.
That's why the judges gave such a score.
The moment Gao Dian saw the score, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he should ...... You can make the cut.
He stood in place and waited, Lan Yuan's pastry was finished, he went to judge, and the result score was only 94.25 points.
This score is not low, and it can be said that it is a score that many people can't reach before, but now, 94.25 points is only eliminated.
Lan Yuan didn't have the slightest surprise on his face, he had already been mentally prepared, and the loss in his heart was not expressed.
The last chef also finished his own pastry.
This chef is a chef from Italy, named Leo, and he is also the best chef in Italy in this competition.
The pastry he made this round is world-renowned pasta.
Time goes back a little over an hour ago.
Leo took out the wheat flour and began to make pasta.
Pasta, also known as spaghetti, is made from durum wheat, which is the toughest variety, and its wheat flour has the characteristics of high density, high protein, high gluten, etc., and the pasta made from it is yellow all over.
Leo is a master of pasta making, and the pasta he makes is praised by customers.
Many people buy ready-made pasta, while Leo makes his own pasta and then cooks it.
His teacher gave him the recipe for making pasta, which was more delicious and fragrant than the pasta made outside.
Pasta is not easy to make and requires a lot of effort because the durum wheat itself is too hard and it is more difficult to make noodles.
But Leo was already familiar with all this, and soon he was making some pasta.
There are different theories about the origin of pasta, some people believe that pasta originated from ancient Rome, while others say that pasta was introduced to the past through Marco Polo.
The exact origin is not determined.
Pasta is divided into two parts, one is the noodles and the other is the sauce.
The sauces of pasta are divided into red, white, pesto, and dark sauces.
The red sauce is mainly tomato-based, and the sauce is red, and it is also the most widely used sauce at present.
The white sauce is made with cream as the main product.
Pesto sauce is a sauce made mainly from basil and pine nuts, and has a special and rich flavor.
The dark sauce is made with cuttlefish ink.
What Leo wants to make is red sauce, which is ordinary, but suitable for a wider range of people.
As a qualified chef, it is the customer's taste that must be taken into account.
Pesto, white, and dark sauces have a smaller audience.
And, Leo is best at making red sauce.
The taste of the sauce directly affects the taste of pasta, and the recipe of this sauce is also a secret of Mr. Leo, and he learned it with great difficulty.
Soon, the sauce was ready, and Leo began to cook the noodles.
When cooking pasta, one thing you need is to add salt to the water so that the cooked pasta has a flavor.
After scooping it up, Leo set it up and drizzled it with the sauce he had made.
A piece of pasta is complete.
Judging stage.
"Pasta, it's a common dish."
"Common doesn't mean ordinary, the soul of this pasta is on this sauce."
"This exquisite presentation is quite appetizing"
The judges were talking.
They each took a fork and began to stir the noodles.
Even the judges of Huaguo did not use chopsticks, but forks.
When you taste the food of other countries, you need to learn to feel the food habits of other countries, so that you can experience different food cultures.
After the pasta is stirred, the judges begin to taste it.
"The pasta has a hard texture, a chewy bite and a pretty good texture."
"The tomato flavor fills the noodles with a supple texture and makes for a unique experience, which is so wonderful."
……
The judges commented.
Soon, the judges began to score.
In the end, Leo's score is: 96.25 points!
Compared with Gao Dian, it is only 0.5 points lower.
He was second.
Gao Dian once again qualified as the top of the group, while the other one who advanced was Leo from Italy.
As for David Norton of Country F, he was also eliminated.
In this round, everyone's scores are not much different, even if Gao Dian is the first, but the difference between the scores and the last place is very small.
The more you go to the back, the more this is the case, the difference in scores will get smaller and smaller, and when everyone is about the same level, it is not only the level of cooking skills, but also the mentality and carefulness.
Lan Yuan came to Gao Dian, Gao Dian took out an extra piece of knife-cut noodles he made, and after a while, this knife-cut noodles were a little softer than before.
Lan Yuan picked up the chopsticks and ate without saying a word, and soon the bowl of noodles was finished by him.
"Thank you." Lan Yuan said to Gao Dian.
The others were surprised, but more envious, and they wanted to eat it too.
Back in the rest area, others sent congratulations.
So far, a total of three Huaguo contestants have advanced, and among all the participating countries, Huaguo has the most remaining chefs, accounting for half!
In this round, only six people were promoted, of which three were Chinese chefs.
As for the other three, one is Akihisa Nagashima, one is Leo from Italy, and one is a chef from country F.
Six people will advance, and in the sixth round of the game, three will be eliminated again.
Afternoon.
Start grouping.
In the sixth round, there are only two people in each group, for a total of three groups, that is, the winner advances and the loser is eliminated.
Takanori has matched his opponent - Akihisa Nagashima!
Seeing this result, Gao Dian's pupils shrank.
He still met this Akihisa Nagashima.
He was not happy in his heart, but on the other side, Akihisa Nagashima was very happy.
He smiled at Akihisa Nagashima.
This made Gao Dian very uncomfortable.
When he left the competition venue, Akihisa Nagashima came to find Takanori again and said, "Taka-kun, I'm looking forward to playing with you tomorrow, tomorrow...... Please also do your best! Please! ”
Akihisa Nagashima bowed to Takanori and left.
"Unexpectedly, you still met him." Wei Qiaoyi sighed and said.
Gao Dian looked at Wei Qiaoyi and said, "What's going on with this Akihisa Nagashima?" ”
Wei Qiaoyi was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go, let's go back and talk slowly." ”
This time, Wei Qiaoyi didn't shirk anything.
Gao Dian nodded.
…………
On the other hand, this time Lan Yuan didn't look at the backs of the two with complicated eyes, which couldn't help but make Qiu Weijun a little surprised.
"Why didn't you watch it today?" Qiu Weijun asked.
Lan Yuan smiled and said, "What's so nice about this?" ”
This answer made Qiu Weijun obviously stunned, to be honest, what he said yesterday was indeed hoping that Lan Yuan could let go.
There have been no results for so many years, and if you persist, there will still be no results.
People can't live in their own world all the time, they should look forward.
However, Qiu Weijun really didn't expect that Lan Yuan would see it so quickly. This made him a little suspicious if he was wrong, but in fact, Lan Yuan had no feelings for Wei Qiaoyi beyond his senior brothers and sisters.
"You're putting it down so fast." Qiu Weijun said.
Lan Yuan glanced at Qiu Weijun and said, "What is put down so quickly, I haven't picked up anything!" Don't talk nonsense, be careful that I sue you for slander! ”
Qiu Weijun: ......
It's still as hard as ever.
"Forget it, if you don't admit it, you won't admit it, anyway, if you can put it down yourself." Qiu Weijun said.
"I really don't understand what you're saying, let's go, tomorrow's game, come on!"
Lan Yuan waved his hand and left the playing field.
Qiu Weijun shook his head and smiled in the back, "This guy." ”
Lan Yuan returned to the hotel where he lived, and after thinking for a long time, he still took out his mobile phone and called his master.
"Xiao Yuan." Du Dawei answered the phone and said.
"Master, I'm ......" Lan Yuan hadn't finished his words before he was interrupted by Du Dawei.
"I know, you don't have to say it." Du Dawei said.
Lan Yuan: ???
Master is so powerful, you know?
"Master, what do you know?" Lan Yuan asked cautiously.
"What's more, you called me, didn't you just lose the game? Let me tell you, don't take it too seriously, it's already great that you can do this, and when Master was young, he was not as good as you! Your master watched your game, praised you, and told me that when you come back, I will take you by my side to teach you well. ”
Du Dawei said.
In fact, the last sentence was said by him, Wei Lianzhang did praise Lan Yuan, but he didn't say that he took Lan Yuan with him to teach.
His current body and energy no longer allow him to do this.
Du Dawei didn't know that he said this sentence to comfort his apprentice. He planned to beg his master later, and it would definitely come true anyway.
After Lan Yuan listened, he was a little moved in his heart.
He didn't actually want to talk about the game, he wasn't a child, he didn't win the game outside, and he had to go back and cry?
"Master, thank you, and please tell Master, no need." Lan Yuan said.
"Why not? What a great opportunity to learn from your master! Du Dawei said.
Lan Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I know, but Master, I want to leave." ”
Hearing this, Du Dawei suddenly fell silent.
Lan Yuan has been studying with him since he was very young, and although he is not his own son, he is no different from his own son.
Hearing Lan Yuan say that he was leaving, Du Dawei suddenly had the mentality of an old father, reluctant but did not open his mouth to stop it.
"When you grow up, it's good to go out for a walk, the world is big, go out and see more while you're young." Du Dawei said.
"Master, I'm sorry for you!" Lan Yuan said guiltily in his heart.
"Don't say anything I'm sorry, I didn't want to keep you by my side all the time, even if you don't say it, I'll let you go after a while. You have your own path to follow, and you can't follow me all the time. Du Dawei said.
Hearing this, the guilt in Lan Yuan's heart became bigger and bigger, he knew that this was what the master said on purpose, just to make himself feel less guilty.
"Master......"
Lan Yuan shouted, but didn't know what to say.
"By the way, what spurred you to leave?" Du Dawei asked.
"Because of the high canon." Lan Yuan said.
Hearing this answer, Du Dawei was not surprised.
"Xiao Yuan, it's good for you to follow your own path, don't compare with others." Du Dawei comforted.
"Master, Gao Dian is making rapid progress, but it can't stimulate me, after all, there is a little junior sister, and I am used to it." Lan Yuan said.
"And how did he irritate you?" Du Dawei asked curiously.
"During this time, Gao Dian and the little junior sister walked very close...... Master, you don't know, I ...... I ......" Lan Yuan was a little embarrassed, he was embarrassed to say this kind of thing.
"You like your little sister." Du Dawei added.
"Huh?" Lan Yuan suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Master, how do you know?" ”
"I already knew, but you thought no one else knew." Du Dawei said.
At this moment, Lan Yuan was embarrassed and almost pulled out of the three-bedroom and one-living room.
He thought he didn't know, but it turned out that everyone seemed to know.
"Ahem, anyway, I'm putting it down now, so I'm going to go out for a walk, Master is like this, I'm hanging, bye!"
Lan Yuan quickly finished speaking and hung up the phone.
He sat down on the bed and thought to himself: ...... Let's live on a different planet.
