Super God Kindergarten

Chapter 71

PS: It was snowing heavily and there was a power outage at home. After waiting for a whole day, there was no call. I went out and found a hotel before staying. This is the chapter in the morning.

**************************
Abrupt mutation!

The three judges, who were clearly exaggerating the crystal dumplings just now, were about to score when they felt a strange taste in their mouths almost at the same time, bitter and astringent, an indescribably strange feeling.

Vice President Li grabbed the water glass and drank a few gulps, the other two judges also frowned.

Seeing their behavior, some contestants who really have a deep understanding of culinary skills felt a little bit in their hearts: it's broken.

The warm family man who hardly had any hope suddenly saw a glimmer of hope!
Innovating such things is very risky. It is the same in all walks of life, and cooking is no exception. To launch a new dish requires the chef to have a deep understanding of the characteristics of various ingredients, seasonings, and various cooking methods. It's definitely not just a random slap in the face.

What charcoal-roasted broccoli, boiled tomatoes in milk, fried sow skin, braised fat sea... This kind of innovation, which is called "dark cuisine" in the folks, is a big joke in the culinary world, which violates the combination of ingredients basic principles.

As the saying goes, a rat droppings ruined a pot of porridge, which has another meaning in the kitchen industry: as long as any link is not done correctly, even if even one seasoning is misplaced, the whole dish will be useless.

If you don’t believe me, try adding two spoonfuls of chili sauce to Chaofotiaoqiang?Buddha Tiaoqiang is a good thing, and chili sauce is also a very popular condiment, but these two things must not be matched together.You can put some sugar in the stir-fried vegetables. If you try the vegetable soup with sugar, it will be uneatable.

There are so many ingredients, seasonings and cooking methods in the world, and the most common ones are dozens or hundreds. If you want to find out all of them, many masters who have been in the industry for decades may not dare to praise Haikou.

This 'Dancing Fish and Dragon in Jade Pot' is obviously an innovative creation of Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. Looking at the appearances of several judges, it is obvious that there is a 'conflict' in the materials used by the other party, which will produce a weird taste.

If this is the case, then no amount of praise and praise before will be meaningless!

No matter how good the knife is, no matter how beautiful the food is, no matter how careful the production process is, is there a bird to use if it is not delicious?
The other contestants present also had different expressions, some were distressed, some were gloating, and they looked at Jiang Xuan with extremely complicated eyes.

"Tsk tsk..." Vice President Li asked Jiang Xuan with a heartbroken look on his face, "Director Jiang, did you misplace something? Why does it have a sour taste?"

"It's not only astringent, but also a bit bitter, bitter, but it doesn't seem to be completely bitter." Chef Zhao is the most experienced among the three, smacking his lips, and said, "It seems to be onions and... And Zanthoxylum bungeanum. I said, Comrade Jiang, why are you putting these two seasonings in such a good way? Dumplings are light and refreshing, and these two seasonings are too strong. You should know the basics, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Chang Xiaotu and said, "Did your little assistant make a mistake?"

It could be heard that Chef Zhao wanted to 'excuse' Jiang Xuan.

In the world, there are old bastards who rely on the old and sell the old and want to keep the young ones forever, and there are old-timers who appreciate the younger generation and are willing to help and help. Chef Zhao is the latter.

In the final analysis, the "Dancing Fish and Dragon in Jade Pot" just now gave the three judges too much favor in every aspect.

Speaking of it, there are eight major cuisines in China for thousands of years, and there are many delicacies, but counting on your fingers, how many new dishes have really been released and recognized by the audience over the years?There are very few of them, such as 'dancing fish and dragon', which is enough to support a store's facade and become a local specialty. It would be a pity if it was ruined like this.

When asked, Chang Xiaotu seemed a little nervous and tugged on Jiang Xuan's hand.This matter has something to do with her.

Jiang Xuan patted her on the head, indicating that it's okay.

In the live broadcast room, there was a rare silence.

In today's game, there were too many unexpected reversals. Whether it was a supporter of the kindergarten or a fan of the warm boy at home, no one dared to boast anymore.

Someone has to eat this pile of shit, and it's not certain who will get it. Anyway, don't drop it into your own bowl. It's wiser to keep silent at this time, lest you brag and end up eating a mouthful of shit.

"Well, the three judges, do you think it's time to score?" In addition to enlivening the atmosphere of the scene, the host also took on the task of controlling the rhythm and maintaining the rules, so he had to remind him aloud.

"Wait a minute, this is not right!"

Among the three judges, Director Song, who had the highest cultural quality and the widest knowledge from the perspective of food, spoke seriously: "If there is a wrong seasoning, based on the experience and taste of the three of us, we should be aware of it when we eat it. , but we didn’t notice something strange until after we finished eating, Director Jiang, did you do it on purpose?”

Do you want to make the dumplings unpalatable on purpose?What's the point of delaying the unpalatable?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded: "That's right, I added some special things to the soup, but it's not onions and peppercorns, but a small amount of finely ground orange peel powder."

"Oh, I see!" Chef Zhao suddenly realized: "At the beginning of the mouth, the thick fish soup and delicious shrimp will cover up this taste, but after eating, the mouth will continue to secrete saliva, after washing away the delicious taste, The orange peel powder left in the mouth will bring a bitter feeling."

"Yes." Jiang Xuan said.

"Why do you do this?" The three judges asked in surprise.

Jiang Xuan smiled and pointed to the huge poster on the scene. There were a few large characters on the poster: color, fragrance, meaning, shape.

"I received the competition notice, saying that these five aspects should be considered in scoring. The color, fragrance, and shape are easy to handle. This is the 'artistic concept'. I have a limited level of education, and I have been thinking about it for a long time."

"This bitterness is artistic conception?" Not only the three judges were stunned, but also the contestants present were at a loss.

To be honest, the chefs often put the words "color, fragrance, and shape" at the top of the list, but few people really pay attention to this "artistic conception".

A dish with good color and fragrance is very good. As for the artistic conception, even many literati and inkmen can play nondescriptly, let alone most chefs with low education level.

The cold dishes are arranged like a peacock, and the fruit plate is carved into a dragon boat. The superficial skills of these "shape" are already very artistic.

Jiang Xuan said: "Just now the judges said that the name Yuhu Wuyulong comes from Xin Qiji's poem, Qingyu Case Yuanxi."

"Yes, it should be fine." Vice President Li nodded.

Jiang Xuan hummed, glanced around, and said loudly: "On the surface, this poem is rich in rhetoric, depicting a prosperous and prosperous world. , partial to Jiangzuo, indulging in singing and dancing to whitewash the peace. Xin Qiji wanted to make up for the sky, but hated that he had nowhere to go. When he wrote this poem, he was full of passion, sadness and resentment. Through the prosperity in front of him, he finally wanted to express What is more is the desolate loneliness after the curtain ends."

This poem is widely spread in modern society, and there are not a few people present who know the background of this poem. It is indeed not something used to praise the prosperity of the world. Many people present understand it without Jiang Xuan's explanation.

Jiang Xuan's volume remained the same, but his tone became firmer, and he said: "I think there are two layers of progression in the jade pot dragon fish dance. Lonely, just like the poet Xin Qiji's mood at that time and the ending of the entire Southern Song Dynasty court. In addition, the delicacy itself, the jade pot dance with fish and dragons, is complicated in the production process and the ingredients are too particular. Although they are all ordinary ingredients, they are cooked in this way It is almost extravagant, so I use this method, on the one hand, it fits the artistic conception of this poem, on the other hand, I also want to remind diners to cherish material resources and manpower. Such extravagant things can be tried occasionally. Don't be greedy, otherwise there will be bitterness left, the more you eat, the more delicious you will feel when eating, and the more bitterness will be left in the end."

After finishing speaking, he rushed around and nodded slightly, indicating that the explanation was over.

Jiang Xuan's voice ended, and the audience seemed extremely quiet, but the flashlights of the media flickered at an alarming frequency.

"Ahem, no matter who wins or loses today, Director Jiang's explanation just now will be the dazzling highlight of this competition! Three judges, you can make final comments and give points!" The host's voice was full of excitement. Thrilling and sensational.

Whether the food tastes good or not doesn't really matter.How would the audience know?

It doesn't really matter whether what Jiang Xuan said just now makes sense or not!

The important thing is that these words can definitely generate public opinion and attention, which is stronger than a hundred altars of Buddha jumping over the wall!

Don’t be afraid of nonsense. If you do it badly, it’s just nonsense. If you do it well, it’s culture!

What the organizing committee needs most has appeared!
"It's cultural to be able to cook this well." Vice President Li nodded, and said seriously: "I can't give you 10 points, and I hope you will continue to work hard. 9 points!"

Chef Zhao smacked his lips and said with a smile: "I don't understand Tang poetry and Song poetry, but I understand your explanation, and it really has a bit of artistic conception. From the perspective of ingredients, you didn't use onions and peppercorns. , using orange peel instead is actually not a conflict. Orange peel can offset the greasy taste of thick fish soup and shrimp, at least it does not break through the bottom line of cooking principles. I will give you 7.5 points. From the perspective of a chef, the dish is after all It’s for eating, not just to express cultural sentiments, it’s always not good to have a mouth full of bitterness after customers pay.”

Director Song of the chef school directly raised the 10-point sign, looking very excited.

"Young man, I am a teacher, but today, you taught me a lesson called tasting culture. I dare not say that your point of view is correct. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, but you can Combining my own understanding of culture with cooking, I think this is an extremely rare innovation. Just for this, I will give you ten points."

"By the way, I heard that Principal Jiang is also a teacher?" Vice President Li said with a smile.

"I'm a kindergarten teacher." Jiang Xuan chuckled.

"There is no priority in learning, and those who have mastered it are teachers. If three people walk together, there must be my teacher. A teacher with one word can also be called a teacher. It is not necessary to judge by academic qualifications and professional titles." Vice President Li looked at the other two judges, and expressed his appreciation The host said: "In fact, the winner or loser has already been decided. If you don't put orange peels in, the score of this dance of fish and dragons must be higher than that of Buddha jumping over the wall; if you put orange peels in, then it is not simply judged by scores."

"Then I announce that the winner of this round is 'Jade Pot Dance Fish and Dragon' from the kindergarten group!"

Beside him, the homely warm man who had always maintained a gentle manner finally could no longer maintain his demeanor, and his face turned green.

Although before the 'Orange Peel Incident', he had already realized that he was inferior to others when he listened to the conversation between the judges and Jiang Xuan, but after hearing Vice President Li's last comment, he still couldn't help but want to jump up and scold his mother .

Fuck you, you win if you make it delicious, and you win if you cook it badly?You win with orange peel, or you win without orange peel?Is this player the son of the sponsor?

Amid the applause, Jiang Xuan picked up Chang Xiaotu and raised his hands to greet the surroundings.

"Jiang Xuan, are these people stupid?"

Little Rabbit Chang was stunned. She stuck to Jiang Xuan's ear and whispered, "I accidentally sprayed the orange peel into the fish soup, but they still let us win?"

"You still have the nerve to say, thanks to my wit! Next time, you are not allowed to eat snacks while cooking. Your front teeth are gone, and snacks are sprayed everywhere in your mouth when you talk!"
