Salty and Sweet Battle (1)

The fierceness of the white case competition is better than that of the red case, and for the audience below, this is not only a thrilling consideration, but also a visual feast of beautiful and delicious food.

The color is bright, the taste is soft and sweet, and the sesame aroma is rich; The crisp puff pastry wrapped in golden oil skin, the skin is as thin as cicada wings, and the sweet lotus paste is mixed with the salted egg yolk that is sandy. With flowers as the material, with the flower as the shape, the fragrance of scattered flowers, the taste of flowers, the slag of the skin, the flower cake is not only complex, but also beautiful; The surface is plain, the entrance is sweet but not greasy, crispy but not broken, delicious and fragrant, this is an unforgettable Taigu cake......

Until a fiery red round cake was imprinted into everyone's sight......

Like the scorching sun in the scorching sun, and like the reluctant sunset in the sunset, the orange color is still bubbling with a slight oily heat, and a pair of eyes are clouded.

Fire crystal persimmon cake.

Yu Jian was also a little excited, she once passed by a shop specializing in selling persimmon cakes when she was in the West Market, but due to the rush of time and too many people queuing at the door, she regretted missing the opportunity.

The origin of persimmon cake also has a historical reason, Li Zicheng led the peasant uprising, sad on the way to the famine year, food shortage, in order to reward the righteous army, the people will fire crystal persimmon mixed with flour, baked into cakes to satisfy their hunger. Later, this Huojing persimmon cake was slowly introduced to the West Market and became a well-known pastry.

The white case competition opened Yu Jian's eyes, regardless of the complexity and simplicity of the process, the preciousness and plainness of the ingredients, what was presented was a delicacy that made people unforgettable.

The result of the first round of the competition was unexpected by everyone: a full ten teams, all of them advanced to the next round, and none of them were eliminated!

The audience was in an uproar -

Liu Chenggao picked up the microphone and explained, "The opinions of the three of us and the public judges are surprisingly unanimous, and in this competition, we have no choice. Each of these chefs is a treasure that cannot be refused. So after we discussed, we all made the cut in this round."

Just as everyone cheered, the corners of his lips twitched, "But—"

I know that there is no such good thing in the world!

While the masters waited quietly, he added, "But in the next round, we will have a little new way to play. The taste of China can be distinguished by two words: salty and sweet. This is due to the region, and it is also closely related to the living habits of the people. The topic of the next round is this "Salty and Sweet Battle", which is divided into two small rounds, one round for those who are good at it and the other round for those who are not good at it......

Listening to Liu Chenggao's words, the chefs who had completed the red case competition in the audience sweated one after another, and sincerely rejoiced for themselves.

Sure enough, this seemingly ordinary food contest is full of routines!

You let the masters who are good at making sweets make sweets, and that's understandable. You also make them make savory flavors that they are not familiar with, which ...... Isn't that hard for a strong man!

Yu Jian was also stunned when she heard this, lowered her head and silently pondered the deep meaning. The team of the white case comes from all over the world, and it seems to be chaotic, but in fact, it hides mysteries.

Since ancient times, the south is sweet and salty, salty in the north, spicy in the east and sour in the west, which is because of the differences in the vast landforms.

But—

Not absolutely.

This question is about integration.

Perhaps in ancient times, due to the influence of transportation, the distance between the north and the south was long and difficult to reach. But in modern times, if you "fly", you can reach every corner of China within two hours.

People come, people go; Again, again.

A good chef should not only be able to specialize in dishes, but also be able to cater to the preferences of different diners.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wonder. From the red case to the white case, the food competition needs not only the technical work in the kitchen, but also the chef who can integrate and adapt to the changes.

She made a heavy note in the small notebook in her heart, and at the same time secretly reminded herself.

Compound Talent ...... It's not good!

There is still a long way to go!

……

As soon as the rules of this kind of event were announced, the masters were not calm. This, this, this...... It was supposed to be a one-man battle, but why did it become a small group?

Besides, the elimination rules are also very pitiful!! If you lose to the opponent in the group stage, you have to choose a member of the team to eliminate!

It's not ...... Let them be the bad guys!

After stubbornly fighting against the organizers, the masters were like defeated roosters, hanging their shoulders and sighing secretly. After a long period of ideological battles and self-paralysis, I finally accepted this fact.

He went to find his allies with joy.

Audience Below: ???? This attitude has changed too quickly......

The hearts of the masters: What should I do? The event is like QJ, if you can't resist, then try to enjoy it!

Some of them are close to each other, and some of them are familiar, so they naturally form a team.

Bai Yu rubbed his palms, stood on the side of the sweet team, and silently watched several masters chatting. Here, he seems to be an anomaly, and he can't fit in.

Or did Master Li from Guangling find him, and pointed out for a long time: "Master of Sun Cake?"

Bai Yu suddenly smiled: "Yes, yes, my name is Bai Yu and I am from Taiwan Province."

Several masters were stunned at the same time, and then showed a warm smile, "Oh, hello Master Bai!"

"You make sweet pastries there, too, right?" Why don't you come to our team?"

"Pineapple cake is famous! One year, I went to Taiwan Province for exchange and study, but I was fascinated by the taste of pineapple crisp!"

At this moment, Bai Yu's heart was very hot, and the smile on his face changed from greeting to sincerity.

He joined the team of several masters, listened to them tell interesting anecdotes about their respective provinces, and did not forget to ask about the current situation in Taiwan Province.

"Master Bai, did your TV station say that the inland can't afford to eat tea eggs?" Master Li asked curiously, this question has really bothered him for a long, long time, and he can't figure it out, in modern times with such developed information, there are still people like frogs and chickens.

This meme...... Can't get by, can it?

Bai Yu's face froze, showing a sneering expression, he touched his nose embarrassedly, and smiled: "It's just that some people say so. But the development of the inland is really too fast, and when I came to the magic capital, I was shocked!"

"Then you have to come more often, every day and every year here is changing." Master Su Pai Zhang said, and poked him again, "Su Shi knows, right? Now it ranks first in the GDP of Jiang Province! When the game is over, you must go and see it, and then invite you to our restaurant for dinner!"

"Okay! I'm going to go!" Bai Yu nodded cautiously.

He wants to take advantage of this to come back to the inland, take a good walk through the north and south of the river, see the beautiful scenery of China, and feel the ...... The feelings that can't be let go of hometown.
