Cooking that does not shine is not good cooking

Chapter 208 The First Round (Su)

The photographer's eldest brother was an old driver at first glance. As for the situation on the stage, like other journalists from China, he knew the reason almost instantly.

"Those judges should be the three-star chef who was served the dessert first." The photographer brother said.

"Huh?" Lin Mumu tilted her head, it seemed that she didn't react, but immediately afterwards, her eyes widened, showing an expression of disbelief, her lips opened subconsciously, as if she wanted to make a noise .However, she is also a professional journalist after all. Although she was extremely surprised, or even shocked, she still covered her mouth firmly with her hand just before the sound was made.

After a while, Lin Mumu let go of her hand until she calmed down, and at the same time let out a long sigh of relief.

"You mean... that special chef named Neo added something to the dessert?"

"Perhaps just using the characteristics of the ingredients." The photographer's eldest brother frowned. He is not a chef, but he has seen many dishes in Huaxia before he can guess the key, but...

"This thing can't be reported..." The photographer shook his head and smiled bitterly. Such a big scandal, not to mention the five business giant judges on the stage, even the food research institute will not let it go.After all, unlike unfounded competitions and contestants questioning, the methods used by chefs in cooking can be proved by off-site monitoring.

With the style of food research, it is obvious that he will not shoot himself in the foot, so that his good reputation will be stained.To put it in a simpler way, it would eat this dumb loss, wipe the ass of the three-star chef, and then punish it afterwards.

Past world-level and national-level competitions, similar situations, food research and sponsors have handled this way.

Listening to the answer from the photographer's elder brother, Lin Mumu was completely stunned. She did not expect that the food research, which is known for its fairness and justice, would actually do such a thing, but think about it, there are no unspoken rules in any industry, but Some are known to the world, while others are hidden deeper.

"So, the highest score in the first preliminaries of the No. 3 examination room, is that set?" Lin Mumu asked unwillingly, biting her lip.

"If no other chef can unlock the'magic' that the three-star chef put on the judges, then this game, and even the qualification quota for the third examination room, has already been set." The photographer hasn't. deny.

If you look closely at the press stand, you will find that many Huaxia Special Kitchens shake their heads or sigh, and then turn the camera lens to other examination rooms.

As the photographer's eldest brother said, the desserts served by the next few chefs are also lower than other examination rooms.But Sisters Tony and Lisbet are not fools. Although their tongues are tingling, they have thought of a solution. Before scoring, they will add one to two points to the score they prepared to give at the beginning. The scores obtained by these chefs are not too ugly, and unnecessary questioning incidents occur.

The only two impartial evaluations by Inoue Kazuo and Li Yanhua did not reveal the other three who are also judges.For a time, scores such as 35, 36, and 37 appeared on the big screen in the center of the No. 3 examination room from time to time.

This surprised the audience in the venue. They or they thought that Examination Hall No. 3 was going to be a battle. Even the first-class chefs should be able to cause some trouble to the special chefs. But how do they feel about the current situation? The number of places that appear has been determined?

Fortunately, at this time, in the third examination room, a second special chef finally brought his own dessert to the judges' seat.

"Walnut shredded finger biscuit version Tiramisu." It was Jonathan who was speaking. He glanced at Toyama Shirayuki and Toyama Kana who were making minor changes to their desserts at the kitchen table, the expressions on their faces remained unchanged. In his mind, they were ranked the two chefs who might threaten their qualifications.

"Mad Dog" Neo is too famous in the special kitchen circle, especially in the special kitchen circle in Europe. In the cooking confrontation with others or in national and world-level competitions, he often uses some indiscriminate Means, although these methods were finally suppressed because of the sponsor’s relationship with food research, they also made many special chefs who knew his name be very careful about him, and would not easily compete with him in cooking, or like Jonathan before. In that way, don't let the other party approach your cooking table.

It’s just that Jonathan didn’t expect that this time Neo would actually start with the desserts he made himself...It may not be accurate. Neo didn’t spoil his own cooking, just let the chef on the back end of him get better than usual. Lower score.

Almost at the moment when the second chef scored 32 points, Jonathan and many chefs in the third examination room reacted, but they were a little unexpected. They did not disclose Neo’s behavior to the public, but were guessing what the judges encountered. After the problem, part of the structure of his dessert was revised.

Jonathan’s luck was good. When the second chef was graded, he happened to be dealing with the last few ingredients. He didn’t hesitate to ask the staff to get another ingredient and add this ingredient to homemade. After the tiramisu, he put it in the refrigerator for the final moulding.

When the tiramisu was taken out, a second ray of light rose in the third examination room.

"Luminous cuisine..." Yuna's tone was a bit bitter.

The tiramisu produced by Jonathan is undoubtedly a luminous dessert. If the score is given according to the previous method, not to mention Jonathan himself, even the audience in the venue will not buy it.

Tony and Anna also have similar expressions to Yuna.The three of them used forks to cut a piece of tiramisu upright, and hesitated whether to put it in the mouth.If it is normal, the few people who claim to be gourmets may have already started eating, but the situation at this time is slightly different...

"Please rest assured." Jonathan saw the tension of the three, with a faint smile on his face, and at the same time made a very old gentleman's ceremony. "The deliciousness of luminous cuisine is not so easy to be affected by other things. ."

Because of the microphone in front of him, Jonathan's sentence was a bit vague. Tony and Lisbet sisters saw it and sent a small piece of tiramisu into the entrance with a nervous heart.

As for Li Yanhua and Inoue Ichigo, they started tasting the tiramisu as early as when the tiramisu was divided into five portions and served in front of five people.

Chapter 209 First Round (Twist and Twist)

Tiramisu can be said to be a more representative Italian dessert. It uses mascarpone cheese, finger biscuits, rum, cocoa powder and other materials. It tastes soft and smooth in the mouth. It also comes with coffee and coffee. The aroma of wine is a very delicious dessert.

Many pastry chefs and European chefs can make tiramisu, but just like Neo’s walnut pie, if you want to make tiramisu to the extreme and make it a luminous dish, it’s not just anyone can do it. of.

Fortunately, one of the luminous recipes owned by Jonathan is about tiramisu's delicate method. With the temporary modification of the structure on the preliminaries, Jonathan’s dessert is more sweet than it should be. A different taste.

Different from the rich flavor of cheese, the milky white custard on the top layer melts again due to the temperature of the mouth, but it does not turn into a pure liquid, but is more similar to a thick slurry that covers the entire tongue. Let the three judges, Tony and Lisbeth sisters, who were suffering from tongue numbness, got a short respite.

This kind of slurry itself has a very special taste, and combined with the walnuts that are ground into small particles, or even powder, it further strengthens the finished product of tiramisu, making the coffee rich and rich. The aroma of rum filled the mouth and brought supreme enjoyment to the five judges.

"Almost perfect food!" Tony, who emerged from the aftermath of the tiramisu, opened his eyes and exclaimed to Jonathan who was standing not far away.

"Should it be worthy of being an Italian dessert? I seem to feel a love in it." Yuna covered her face, with a blush on her cheeks.

Li Yanhua and the Inoue household looked at each other, did not speak, but directly gave scores-9 points, 9 points.

After Anna hesitated, she gave the same 9 points as the two.

Then Yuna and Tony are in a dilemma between the pineapple walnut pie offered by Neo and Jonathan’s Tiramisu. Tony and Yuna don’t know if they should give Jonathan full marks. After all, they are in a dilemma. The luminous version of Tiramisu did break through part of the taste seal that Neo had previously set, but it was only partly...

"Did you add yogurt to tiramisu?" Tony asked.

Jonathan nodded and did not deny. He did not explain, because once explained, the audience will understand the cause and effect.

Fortunately, Tony didn't intend to go further. After getting the answer he wanted, he gave the same 9 points as Li Yanhu, Anna and others.

At the end Yuna, seeing that all four of them gave the same score, no longer hesitate, and also gave 9 points.

——45 points!

The second score of more than 40 points appeared on the big screen in the center of the No. 3 examination room, only one point away from the first place Neo, and it is entirely possible to catch up in the second round of preliminaries.

But Jonathan did not feel happy. He lowered his head, but his voice rang in the ears of the judges, "Why?"

Tony opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, Li Yanhua snatched the microphone, "Because of the cooking you made, it's still a bit worse." When speaking, Li Yanhua's expression was very serious, and even raised it. Hand, compare the distance with your thumb and index finger.

The distance is very short. If the organizer hadn't specially given a close-up shot, everyone in the venue would have no way to see it clearly.

"Is that so?" Jonathan frowned, he did not continue to entangle, as before, he paid a gentleman's salute to the judges before turning around, and walked toward the rest area.

The appearance of Tiramisu made by Jonathan seemed to bring a new vitality to the No. 3 examination room. Then several chefs with advantages brought their own dishes. Among them, some used honey and others used it like Jonathan. The yogurt, and the one that simply puts a cup of salt water on the side of the dessert you make.

Obviously, these chefs have seen through Neo's strategy and made corresponding actions.

It's just a pity. Unlike Jonathan, their culinary skills are still a little worse. Although three chefs scored more than 40, most of them just hovered between 40 and 41.

Then, the third and fourth special chefs, Toyama Shirayuki and Toyama Kana appeared.

Yuanshan Baixue still served the strawberry dafu, but when the judges tasted it, they found that the strawberries that were supposed to be in the core area were replaced by custard, and even the strawberry bean paste with crushed walnuts was placed around the strawberries. It has also been changed to a mixture of coconut and walnuts that is closer to custard.

In terms of taste, it goes without saying that the dough made of glutinous rice flour on the surface of Strawberry Daifuku is a neutral and peaceful ingredient. Although it cannot reduce the numbness in Tony and other populations, it will not deepen it and affect the final The cooking judgment, and the coconut paste and custard inside, have the same effect as Jonathan’s yogurt jelly. In the delicacy, it comforts the dull tongues of several people due to numbness.

Unfortunately, it's still a little bit worse, just like Jonathan, just the last layer of tulle.

——45 points!

"Thank you for the judges." Toyama Shirayuki did not question the score. With a smile on her face, she bowed slightly, then stepped aside and waited for Toyama Kana's dessert to be evaluated.
