Chapter 447 The Same Question

There's a reason the chefs are shaking their heads.

First of all, tempura is an imported product.

Or it's because the cooking level of the island country is lower than that of China, and the variety of food is far less than that of China. The variety of cuisines, as a result, a fried food has suddenly become a very awesome category in the island country , like sushi and sashimi, has become the business card of this country.

But when you, a Huaxia chef, choose to cook island cuisine when you are selecting a chef for the national banquet, it will inevitably make people feel weird.

Secondly, whether tempura can be classified as a white case is quite controversial.

At least in the eyes of these Baian masters, it would be a bit far-fetched to say that tempura belongs to Baian; but it cannot be completely said that it is not Baian. up?
It was Mr. Yan who first raised a question: "Master Cang, whether tempura can be included in the white case is still controversial. I personally do not support or oppose it. It depends on the attitudes of Cai Pinjian and your opponent.

If they all object, you may have to choose another topic. "

Cang Yun nodded, looked at Cai Bo with a smile, and said, "I heard that tempura is one of Mr. Cai's favorite delicacies, and I believe Mr. Cai will definitely justify the name of this delicacy. What do you think, Mr. Cai?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that, you are quite familiar with me, huh?"

Cai Bo squinted his eyes to look at her, and chuckled lightly: "That's right, I am in favor of assigning tempura to the white case,
Because anyone who is really familiar with this dish knows that although the "seed" of tempura is very important, the chef's work is mainly reflected in its "skin", and this layer of "skin" is obviously due to the noodles. kind.

If tempura cannot be attributed to the white case, then many fried noodles in China must be attributed to the red case. Isn’t this a joke?
And after all, tempura only appeared after my Chinese cuisine was spread to the island country, and it is basically our Chinese cuisine. There is nothing inappropriate for Master Cang to challenge with this dish. "(Note: about the source of tempura)

Cai Bo's 'species' and 'skin' are not country slang terms, but tempura jargon.

If you stand at the height of Chinese food, Chinese chefs can definitely despise the food system of the whole world. When it comes to food culture, which country can compare with Huaxia?The countries all over the world are added together, and there is no one who can fight!
This is true for a country like France and Italy that also has a splendid food culture, let alone an island country.

Once upon a time, the daimyos of the island country only ate a small pickled fish, a bowl of green vegetables, a bowl of brown rice, and a bowl of miso soup. Where did they come from the food culture?Just say that there is such a small thing, hasn't it learned some corners and corners from our Huaxia?

So when it comes to tempura, many Chinese chefs will say contemptuously, "Isn't it just fried in batter? It's not considered a main course in China." '

This is the truth, but it is too small to underestimate tempura. That day, Yan Yi creatively created a "vegetarian fried tempura" at the Xiangjiang Food Competition, which is representative of these chefs who despise island cuisine .

But it is also because of the lack of variety of food in the island country that the few people in the small country will study it carefully. After a few hundred, they still made some things.

Tempura is really not ordinary batter-coated fried ingredients, and there are not many kinds of ingredients that can be used for it, only a dozen kinds, this is the so-called 'skin', also called clothing.

The ingredients that are wrapped are called 'species'.

Only those fried by island chefs who have carefully studied the clothes and species and passed them down from generation to generation can be called tempura.

However, Cai Bo did not explain too much about the "seed" and "clothes" of tempura.

He has a habit of boasting when he sees beauties, and he can also boast when he sees delicious food. Now there are beauties, but there are too many people present, which does not meet the requirements of his environment; there is no shadow of delicious food. Where can there be? What are you talking about?

"Thank you Mr. Cai for rectifying the name of Tempura."

Cang Yun finally broke the ice and smiled, revealing the charm of a mature woman: "Where is the team leader Zhou?"

Zhou Dong was about to speak when he suddenly heard an old and strong voice from outside: "Haha, it seems that I came at a good time. Is someone going to challenge Team Leader Zhou?"

Shang Qingxiong's expression turned serious, and he lowered his voice and said, "Lao Zhou, my grandpa is here."

"Shang Lao?"

Unexpectedly, this legendary big man actually came!

Even Zhou Dong was inexplicably nervous. As everyone looked towards the door of the back kitchen, he saw that the first to come in were four men with sharp faces and eagle eyes. After entering the door, they quickly scanned the crowd to confirm that there was no potential danger. After that, he gestured to the door.

There are also figures flickering outside the door, and I don't know how many tough characters have come.

Accompanied by a man in a gray tunic suit, an old man with silver hair walked slowly into the back kitchen.

"Shang Lao!"

"His old man actually came, it was just a selection, how could he be alarmed?"

Looking at these two faces that often appeared on TV, not to mention these famous white cases, even Yan Lao was a little nervous.

"Mr. Shang, Mr. Shang."

Shang Ying helped his father to walk in front of Old Yan, smiled and waved his hands and said, "Old Yan, I'm sorry I didn't say hello to you earlier.

Everyone doesn’t have to be restrained, just do what they have to do, my father and I just came here to take a look.”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Dong who was standing beside his son, and nodded at Zhou Dong with a smile.

Zhou Dong was stunned by him for a moment, and he was a little at a loss, wondering if he should also smile or something?

just looking around?

All the chefs looked at each other, what are the identities of Mr. Shang and Mr. Shang, can they just come to the back kitchen to have a look?
Moreover, Mr. Shang smiled at Team Leader Zhou, thinking that Zhou Dong had never been qualified for a state banquet, but was directly designated as the team leader of the white case
Even the calmest person can't help looking at Cang Yun with sympathy at this moment, this colleague is afraid that he will be kicked into the iron plate, you dare to challenge someone who is valued by the business?
Cang Yun was also stunned, frowning at Zhou Dong.

It would be a lie to say that she is not in a panic, she has a big personality, but she is not an ignorant little girl. Mr. Shang smiled and nodded at Zhou Dong when he entered the door. This is clearly to cheer him up?
Mr. Shang shook hands with Mr. Yan and Mr. Cai Bo, laughed and said, "I, the old man, didn't disturb everyone, did I?
Everyone, don't be nervous, let alone have any worries, I am actually a person who loves to eat, I heard that there are many delicious foods in Baian Selection, so I can't help it?
By the way, didn't you just say that you want to challenge, continue to have delicious and good-looking ones, I came to the right place this time. "

After all, it’s still Mr. Shang. Two sentences enlivened the atmosphere in the back kitchen. All the chefs laughed and said that it’s a good thing Mr. Shang that you like to eat. responsibility.

Cang Yun also relaxed, looked at Zhou Dong and said, "Chef Zhou, you haven't expressed your opinion yet, are you willing to accept my challenge to you with this tempura dish?"

"Of course it's possible. I also really want to taste the difference between the tempura made by Master Cang and those popular ones."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "And I have another proposal."

Cang Yun was taken aback: "Please tell me?"

"Since Master Cang wants to challenge with tempura, I should also challenge with this dish? This will be more interesting and fair."

"Oh?"

Hearing that Zhou Dong was going to challenge with the same dishes, not only Cang Yun, but even Shang Lao's eyes lit up, and they looked at Zhou Dong with great interest.

　I saw some readers suggested that tempura was introduced to the island country from Portugal, so I need to explain it here.

　　In fact, tempura is a product of the merger of China and the West, perfected in island countries.

　　The frying method of "Tang Guozi" was first introduced to the island country in the Tang Dynasty, but the island country was very poor at that time, and it was only popular in the court.

　　Later, when Portuguese missionaries landed in the island country, this frying method was introduced to the people.

　　After hundreds of years of improvement, it became tempura.

　　From the perspective of time, it is my Greater China who enlightened the chefs of the island countries.
