Chapter 465: Two Pastries
The two of them finished their pastries.
Coincidentally, the two finished the pastry in a similar time.
But Gao Dian finished cooking before Xun Yun.
The judges looked at the delicate pastry in front of them and couldn't bear to eat it.
They recognized it at a glance, this was a lily cake, but there were some differences from the lily cake made by Hu Zheng before.
The lily cake made by Hu Zheng last time was also very exquisite, and was even considered by the judges to be a work of art.
That's a very high rating.
But this time Gao Dian made a lily cake, they didn't know what to use to evaluate it.
The white petals bloom in all directions, like a fresh lily, lifelike.
If it weren't for the essential difference from the real lily, they would really think that Gao Dian just took a real lily and perfunctory them.
But from the outside, it looks like a real lily.
Being able to do this shows Gao Dian's ingenuity.
Although the name of the lily cake is lily, its shape is like a blooming flower, but it does not look like a real lily.
Lilies are a plant whose flowers are not edible because they contain toxins.
It is not the flowers that are really edible, but the scaly rhizomes.
Of course, there are many kinds of lilies in the world, and there are three main ones that can really be eaten in China.
Two of these three lilies do not taste good. Either it has a bitter taste and is suitable for medicinal use; Either the taste is extremely bland, almost tasteless.
There is only one kind of lily that is really suitable for consumption, and the taste is sweet without the slightest bitterness, that is, LZ lily.
This kind of lily is a geographical landmark product certified by the state, and it is also the best among the lilies, and it is the only edible sweet lily in China.
After the lily cake is fried, it separates to the surrounding area, like a blooming flower, and resembles a lily, hence its name.
Although compared to real lilies, they are not so similar. More like the rhizome of a lily, regardless of color or shape.
But the rhizome of the lily is not in full bloom, like garlic. The lily cake blooms like a flower.
This is the romance of the Chinese pastry chef, making it into the shape of a flower, which is more beautiful, otherwise it is completely like the rhizome of a lily, how ugly is that?
The one chosen by Gaodian is the LZ lily, which is expensive, but the effect is excellent.
The lily hydrosol extracted by Gaodian has a faint fragrance, some like lily flowers, but it is different.
Everyone picked up a lily cake, and before they could bring it in, they smelled the fragrance.
Although this fragrance is fragrant, it is extremely faint, and if you don't smell it closely, you can't smell it at all.
"It smells so good!" One of the judges whispered.
When the rest of the people heard this, they also nodded one after another, this smell is indeed very good.
It's like spraying perfume on this lily cake, which is a very light perfume, if there is nothing, but the occasional hint of fragrance touches people's hearts.
Everyone was a little reluctant to eat it, so they took it back and put it on a branch and inserted it in a vase, and no one suspected that it was a pastry.
However, in the good-looking pastry, you can't escape the fate of being eaten after all.
Everyone's teeth bit lightly, and with the crispy sound, the petals broke layer by layer, and suddenly a strong lily flavor exploded, like a taste bomb of a lily in the mouth.
The eyes of the crowd widened, it was like eating a whole lily, except that the taste was completely different, the taste was exactly the same.
No!
Soon everyone dispelled this idea, it was not exactly the same! Compared to lilies, this is much sweeter.
As the teeth continue to bite downward, the flavor of the filling also explodes instantly.
Everyone was surprised again, the taste of this filling was completely different from what they thought.
This is not the traditional lily crisp taste.
They eat as if they were in the midst of flowers, and there are bees flying by with honey, leaving a sweet taste in the air.
Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes and enjoy it, and the delicious taste hit the tip of their tongue again and again, making them almost addicted.
Knowing that the taste in their mouths was slowly dissipating, everyone withdrew from the world of taste, but the expression on their faces was reluctant, unfinished.
After a long time, Yu Jinghong asked, "You added other flowers to the filling?" ”
Gao Dian nodded and said, "There are three kinds of flowers in it, roses, osmanthus and lilies. ”
Yu Jinghong exclaimed: "You only used three kinds of flowers, but I seem to feel the prosperity of ten thousand kinds." ”
"It's like being in a sea of flowers." Another judge said.
The rest of the people also nodded their heads one after another, agreeing with what the two said.
Gao Dian pursed his lips and smiled, he did use three kinds of flowers, but they were not as magical as they thought.
Lily has almost no fragrance, but it tastes best. The scent of roses is mediocre. The osmanthus has a weak taste and the strongest fragrance.
The three flowers burst out in a certain ratio as if they were a mixture of several flowers.
In fact, this is more of a psychological suggestion.
The floral fragrance is relatively vague, and the combination of some other ingredients has this effect.
But if someone who really knows the fragrance of flowers comes to taste it, they will tell that there are actually only three kinds of real fragrances.
Of course, it doesn't really matter how many kinds of floral scents you taste. This kind of pastry wants a kind of artistic conception.
Everyone was amazed by the lily cake made by Gao Dian, which was a taste they had never tasted, and it was a very novel experience.
This lily cake, which was later improved by Gao Dian after becoming a special level, is inspired by molecular cuisine and flower cakes.
Of course, Gao Dian only borrowed some ideas, and did not completely copy and stitch them up.
After everyone tasted it, they began to rate this lily cake.
Gao Dian saw that everyone was finished, so he waited on the sidelines, waiting for his opponent to come.
Although Gao Dian and Xun Yun have some grievances, Gao Dian still has the basic etiquette that should be there, and he did not leave the scene first because he had a grudge with Xun Yun.
Here, Xun Yun has been waiting for a while.
The time he completed was about the same as Gao Dian, although it was a little late, but it was not too long.
Here, Gao Dian took the pastry for the judges to taste, and it took a lot of time.
The main reason is that these judges are immersed in the world of taste created by Gaodian pastry, and they can't extricate themselves for a long time, otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long.
Fortunately, Xunyun makes steamed buns, which can be placed in a steamer to keep warm for a while without affecting the taste.
The Jiumiao buns he made were also served by the staff.
Judging from the appearance, this Jiumiao bun is unremarkable, compared to Gaodian's delicate and lifelike lily crisp, this bun is much more ordinary.
However, this bun is not really ordinary.
The appearance of this bun is like a bowl lid, with a round shape, and there are exactly nine folds on it.
These nine folds are also mysterious, and each fold corresponds to a kind of filling.
Jiumiao buns are slightly larger than ordinary buns.
After all, there are nine kinds of fillings, and if you make them smaller, not only is it more difficult, but the flavor of the fillings cannot be completely released.
The twelve judges, looking at the bun in front of them, did not despise this pastry.
This kind of pastry, from the outside, looks like it, but there is something inside.
Moreover, there is far more than one delicious bun they have tasted.
Dare to take out a bun to compete in this game, thinking that this bun is not an ordinary thing.
Xun Yun introduced: "Jiumiao buns, please taste them." ”
Hearing this, the judges were shocked.
"This is Jiumiao Bun!" Yu Jinghong was even more surprised.
"Yes, it's Jiumiao buns." Xun Yun looked a little proud.
You must know that among his brothers, few of his brothers and sisters can make these nine wonderful buns.
Yu Jinghong took a deep breath, and her expression instantly became solemn.
Jiumiao buns, she knows, Wei Lao became famous pastry, known as buns that can never be tired.
But nowadays, many people have not eaten the original Jiumiao buns, because Mr. Wei stopped making Jiumiao buns many years ago.
The Jiumiao buns that many people have eaten are actually made by Chef Du in the Appreciation Building.
Although the taste is excellent, it is much worse than the original.
Yu Jinghong was fortunate to taste the original, that is, the Jiumiao buns made by Old Man Wei himself.
The smell is something she will never forget.
Yu Jinghong's family conditions have been very good since she was a child, and she was still a seven-year-old girl back then.
At that time, Mr. Wei was still active in the pastry chef world.
The chef in charge of the Appreciation Building is also the old man Wei.
At that time, the Appreciation Building was already in full swing, and it was extremely prestigious, and it was more famous than the current Appreciation Building.
The current Appreciation Building, in fact, has declined a lot compared to the peak of the Appreciation Building.
The main reason is that Old Man Wei retreated into the background and was no longer in charge.
Seven-year-old Yu Jinghong, under the leadership of her parents, went to the Taste House to eat once.
At that time, whether you could eat Jiumiao buns or not depended on fate, and even if you have money, you may not be able to eat them.
Luckily that time, their family actually ordered Jiumiao buns, although the price was expensive, but they did not hesitate to order.
The moment they actually taste it, they know that the price is expensive, but it is worth the money.
The taste is so delicious that Yu Jinghong, who is seven years old, can't describe it in words.
Since then, it has also opened the door to a new world for Yu Jinghong.
It was from that time that Yu Jinghong fell in love with food.
Therefore, when she heard Jiumiao buns, Yu Jinghong was so surprised.
Because of these nine wonderful buns, for her, it has a special meaning.
At this moment, looking at Jiumiao buns in the arena, Yu Jinghong had mixed feelings in her heart.
The rest of the people have also heard of the name of Jiumiao Bun.
As the top gourmets in China, Jiumiao buns are a hurdle they can't get around.
After all, this pastry is too legendary in the mouths of the older generation.
It's a pity that because the production is too difficult, after the retirement of Old Man Wei, no one can reproduce the peak taste of Jiumiao buns.
Among them, there are only two people who have tasted the original Jiumiao buns, except for Yu Jinghong.
The other nine people have never tasted the original Jiumiao buns, and the ones they have eaten are all made by Chef Lou Du.
The moment they heard that it was Jiumiao Bun, the importance of this pastry in everyone's hearts suddenly increased a lot.
They carefully picked up a bun and put it into their mouths with serious expressions to taste.
When I took a bite, everyone's faces suddenly became very exciting, and then, they took one bite after another.
They have all tasted Jiumiao Buns and know the characteristics of Jiumiao Buns.
That is, the taste of each sip is different.
The reason why this is a bun that can never be eaten is a small bun, but its taste is ever-changing.
Every bite is a novel experience. It's like taking a train, shuttling through different taste worlds and feeling different scenery.
For Jiumiao buns, everyone tasted them very seriously.
Soon, a bun was eaten, and everyone sighed in their hearts.
It is worthy of Jiu Miao Bun, one of the top pastries.
The taste, every time you taste it, is breathtaking.
The expressions on everyone's faces are not hidden, so that people can see clearly.
As a foodie, it's all about feeling every pastry with your heart.
Xun Yun looked at Gao Dian on the side, feeling a little proud in his heart.
I made Jiu Miao buns, what do you use to win?
Rely on your lily crisp?
Joke!
Gao Dian ignored Xun Yun's eyes, and his expression was a little calm.
Soon, after everyone finished scoring, Gao Dian turned around and went back to clean up his place.
As a good pastry chef, it is important to love cleanliness.
Xun Yun saw Gao Dian go back by himself, he couldn't help but snort coldly, didn't say anything, and went back to clean up.
As an apprentice of Old Man Wei, it is inevitable that he loves cleanliness.
The two of them cleaned up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Xun Yun suddenly said: "After this competition, you go back and practice more, the recipes left by the master are broad and profound, don't waste your energy on other recipes." ”
Xun Yun was very dissatisfied with Gao Dian, as the inheritor of the master, but in these two competitions, what was used was not the pastry of the master's inheritance.
Xun Yun has an almost blind admiration for Old Man Wei, thinking that his master is the most powerful, and the recipes passed down by his master are the best.
When Gao Dian heard this, he was a little stunned, he didn't quite understand why Xun Yun suddenly said this.
And what pastry he practices is his own business, and it has nothing to do with Xun Yun.
His teachers were very supportive, and did not say that he should learn more of the recipes he left behind, but supported him to learn more and read more.
Now Xun Yun came to tell him, let him not waste time.
Thinking of this, Gao Dian's face was a little unsightly.
"How I do it is my own business, Chef Xun has time to take care of me, it is better to take care of myself." Gao Dian said unceremoniously.
He didn't like Xun Yun before, and the two had some conflicts, and now don't expect Gao Dian to speak in such a good tone.
When Xun Yun heard this, he was angry in his heart, he just kindly reminded Gao Dian, but he didn't expect him to speak so politely.
"Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, if you don't want to, forget it, don't bother to talk to you." Xun Yun said coldly.
Then, he turned to leave, not wanting to say anything more to Gao Dian.
Seeing him leaving, Gao Dian didn't say anything more, and went to the audience to find Wei Qiaoyi.
