Gourmets of the Heavens

"finished?"

"Is that the end?"

The freshmen on the stage were discussing a lot, and the four hours passed in a flash. Many people felt that they hadn't seen or learned anything, and Zhao Youqian was over.

Only a few people showed surprise. They also felt that Zhao You was cooking too fast, and looking carefully, the few dishes presented were not all famous dishes.

Even a dish like Suzaku Tuyan, which has had amazing performances before, is nothing more than an improvement of the old dish of Sichuan Province, spicy chicken. Can such a dish pass the rigorous evaluation? Many are skeptical.

Not to mention that they worship foreigners, but the Yaozhou culinary industry has always had a lot of internal forces, especially in Yaozhou, and their chefs rarely participate in international affairs. Except for occasional glimpses of the surrounding affairs, they have a huge impact on the entire culinary industry. Or those ideas of the Western Union.

After all, the revival movement in the culinary world two hundred years ago started from them!

High-grade ingredients, exquisite cuisine, and careful presentation, it can be said that a considerable part of Yaozhou cuisine is incompatible with this concept.

Even Dongying's cooks, who were influenced by the Eastern Alliance, have much higher requirements for the appearance of their dishes than the real Yaozhou chefs. Although Zhao Youqian's plate presentation is already quite particular, in their eyes, he can only be regarded as a commoner. gourmet food.

The only frozen soup with orange lake crab can barely be regarded as a breakthrough.

However, for true chefs, even though Zhao Youqian's presentation is not top-notch, it is enough. What they look at is the whole dish, and the presentation is only a secondary part. They can't do without, but they don't need too much modification.

Even abandoning the taste of food and cooking for the sake of looking good, there are not a few people who are obsessed with this in the cooking world. Zhao Youqian also used his first class to plant a seed for these freshmen present.

The essence of cooking lies in the taste, the form is very important, but not so important.

"Do you think that Teacher Zhao can pass the assessment of surpassing three stars?"

Most of those who were able to enter Yuanyue have family backgrounds, so they naturally understand how difficult the test Zhao Youqian is facing this time. It is a test that few people have passed in history.

Dong Ying has never seen such a character.

It's a pity that most people can only shake their heads blankly when they hear this question, because it is too difficult for them.

Whether super-level cooking can pass the assessment, if it is other star-raising assessments, they will definitely give an affirmative answer without hesitation.

But the more three-star assessment

It is not that this kind of existence did not exist in history, and even came up with real special dishes, but it was still a pity to lose.

You can understand the horror of this test.

It not only requires your cooking skills, but also depends on how you solve the test questions on the spot and whether you integrate these things into your cooking.

There is no way to pass only one side, because the one who surpasses the three-star assessment test is the most perfect cook under ideal conditions!

This is also the reason why although no one has ever passed the three-star assessment in Dongying, there are still people applying for it continuously. This assessment can also allow the cooks who take the assessment to check for gaps in their entire cooking career.

IGO's assessment questions are never aimless, and they are definitely aimed at the possible weaknesses of these examinees.

And the assessment of more than three stars will be directed at the core of the way of cooking of the examinee.

Claiming to be a five-star chef in the whole department, how do you think about fusion, how do you understand it, and whether there are contradictions in your cooking skills because you know too much about the cooking system.

That's why Zhao Youqian chose 'integration' for the IGO assessment topic at that time.

Zhao Youqian was in such a difficult situation, not only because this topic contained a side of great wisdom and stupidity, but also because it happened to hit his own flaws.

If he hadn't gotten a lot of recipes recently, and had been studying how to balance his cooking system, he might not have been able to come up with the breakthrough topic of "mutual generation and mutual restraint" about fusion.

It's just that now, he can only wait for the judges' judgment.

Having already put all his thoughts into the dishes and cooking, Zhao Youqian looked at the judges not far away with clear eyes.

Seeing the IGO staff deliver the dishes, they couldn't help explaining.

"If possible, it's best to taste the braised bamboo shoots at the end. The order of other dishes doesn't matter."

Hearing this, the old lady Kazama Xuezhi smiled.

"What's the reason why brother said that?"

Zhao Youqian smiled lightly.

"Naturally to taste the most shocking and complete taste!"

The rest of the judges nodded. If this kind of food is served in the form of banquets, it is normal to be particular about the order of tasting.

Because this will allow the flavors to form an interlock.

The few people who were originally confused about whether Zhao Youqian really came to attend, did not blink, but they had already exchanged opinions when their eyes intersected.

Let's try what Zhao Youqian said first.

The first thing Jiu Chong Luyuan picked up was Orange Lake Crab. At that time, this soup left a deep impression on him. It is also an ancient tradition in Yaozhou to drink soup before eating vegetables. Naturally, he was the first to appreciate this dish. The frozen soup started.

But the feeling in my hand today is completely different from the last time. If the soup melted in the mouth after being warmed up last time, then now when the orange utensil is in my hand, it is already a piece of orange. cold.

Showing a bit of incomprehension, Jiu Chong Luyuan knocked on the orange, and then the seemingly complete orange skin began to fall off, divided into eight petals, surrounding a crystal-clear spherical orange ice cube like petals.

It wasn't until this time that Jiu Chong Lu Yuan was surprised to find that what Zhao Youqian used this time was not frozen soup, but another ice cube embedded in the orange, and inside the ice cube was a soup with a slight residual temperature!

There are white filaments floating on the surface of the orange soup, and it is impossible to tell whether it is orange meat or crab meat, which complements each other beautifully.

"In such an ice cube, why does the soup still have temperature?"

"And the ice hasn't melted yet??"

In Shijie's observation room, Si Yingshi stared at the orange ice cube with an incredulous expression.

On the judging table, Nakiri Senzaemon, who also picked up the orange, showed a dazed look.

"It turned out to be puff pastry!"

"The meringue that was just baked and still hot fell into the ice to heat up the cold soup, but why didn't you see the meringue?"

Stirred it a few times with a spoon, the orange-like meringue that was taken out of the oven instead of the lid before has disappeared in the soup.

"Try it!"

De Fenglei was really interested in advance at this time. Even if some things were explained, they watched them with their own eyes, but it was still difficult to know what kind of taste it would be combined.

Put a spoonful of warm soup into your mouth, and in an instant, a strong fruit acid and the umami taste of crab swept over at the same time.

It actually made De Fenglei's hair stand on end like an explosion, as if it had been electrified!

"This taste?!"
