Rebirth as a Cooking God

It's time to serve.

The moment Xia Yu heard the closing bell, he put the last snack in his hand on the plate.

Then, he took two steps back and stared at the tall golden dessert tower on the kitchen table. He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the faint sweat on his forehead, It's okay, it's okay, everything is under control. The car can’t flip over!”

Put away your sewing kit.

Xia Yu looked at the open kitchen opposite. Wei Zhong had already taken the lead and asked the staff to help carry the steamer to the judging table. The mist filled with heat filled the air along the way.

Seeing Wei Zhong taking the lead, Xia Yu made a distant gesture of invitation to him.

cough.

The senior will go first, so he will go first. Xia Yu laughed maliciously in his heart, I heard that the first one to go first will lose!

Metaphysics needs to be respected for a while.

Wei Zhong took a wet towel, wiped off his sweat, and tidied up his chef's uniform. He grabbed his soaked chef's hat with his left hand. The camera scanned his back. His shadow on the broadcast screen looked like a high-spirited man. The general who stepped onto the general stage was full of majesty in his demeanor.

Involuntarily, people stared at this figure with respect in their eyes.

This is the world of gourmet food, and the public’s recognition of celebrity chefs.

no doubt.

Wei Zhong's two-hour live performance had already conquered them. Including Tang Yuqiong, who also watched the live broadcast with admiration, said to her audience: The candidate pastry king is not in vain!

A row of five steamer carts were parked in front of the judges' table. Wei Zhong followed with a dull face and watched the staff move the steamers one by one from the carts to the table with deft hands and feet.

On average, there were three-story steamers stacked in front of each judge.

Please use--

Wei Zhong kept a distance of one meter from the judging table. He held his kitchen hat in his left hand and his right hand hung straight down by his side.

After all, he is a famous chef who has seen great storms. Even if he bets his career as a chef, the loser will be branded unpalatable due to the food halberd showdown. Wei Zhong still couldn't help but face this most suffocating tasting session. Change color.

He said please use in an extremely calm tone and bowed his head slightly to show respect for the diners.

Similarly, the five judges present all nodded in response to the chef.

This is from the perspective of the diner, a return gift to the chef, and a basic respect.

In the middle, Lan Fengxian, who served as the chief judge, put his hand on the steamer on the top floor. Before opening it, he solemnly said: About the steaming techniques and Mianyang three steamers, the old lady has explained it clearly before. Now, I won’t talk nonsense here.”

Floating pumpkins, fish, and poultry is not a sophisticated cooking secret. In many restaurants and restaurants, if you order a table of Jingchu cuisine, you can get similar dishes.

Here, Lan Fengxian paused, looked at the camera, and said with profound meaning: The reason why famous chefs are famous chefs is because their dishes have a clear boundary with popular works!

“Then, let’s see how Chef Wei shows this boundary——!”

The words fall.

With a snap, Lan Fengxian opened the steamer cover, and white mist suddenly surged out.

The white mist was so exaggerated that it almost covered the judging panel.

The cameras on the four sides have already been in place, and the amazing scene happening in the steamer at the moment when the lid is lifted will be clearly broadcast on the big screen!

There was dead silence.

In the vast mist, a white flower bloomed slowly on the wooden steamer.

The picture is dynamic.

The originally closed petals stretched out in all directions, and soon the core of the flower was revealed in the camera, causing a suffocating sound of air conditioning.

Two thumb-sized white balls stand in the center of the petals.

Yes, these are the pork meatballs from before. However, before the meatballs enter the steamer, Wei Zhong specially puts them into a box of soaked glutinous rice and rolls them. The meatballs are covered with rice grains and steamed in water. It turned into a ball of jade now.

The grains of glutinous rice are crystal clear and shining, and their texture is more transparent and pure white than ice crystal jade.

And deep inside the glutinous rice package, there is a faint layer of red, which means that the pork balls used as fillings inside have not mysteriously disappeared.

Not to mention the general audience was stunned and unable to make any sound.

The judges were also shocked.

After a long while, Lan Fengxian put the steamer cover in his hand on the table, exhaled and stared at the plain-faced Wei Zhong, It's beautiful and delicious! You are so colorful that the appearance of the dishes is far beyond the expressiveness. It leaves the popular dishes far behind and widens the distance between heaven and earth!

The remaining four judges also unveiled a steamer each.

However, the judges are extremely well-educated. None of them were in a hurry to take down their chopsticks. They were holding back their appetites and carefully appreciating the gourmet art created by the chefs.

Carefully observing the snowdrops blooming in the steamer on the porcelain bowl shaped like a pen holder, Mr. Liu exclaimed: Fish fillets are used as petals, pearl balls are used as the core, and so on!

In his eyes, there was a pool of pumpkin puree that looked like the melted ice and snow spread out.

Taking a breath of the smell, Mrs. Liu's face turned red, No!

I can't bear it anymore!

After taking off the chopsticks, he first picked up the pearl balls, which were filled in the fish petals and embedded in the pumpkin puree, and put the whole ball into his mouth. The old man's cheeks suddenly bulged and his teeth opened to their maximum. , and then bite hard.

Pearl Yuanzi, the outermost layer of ice crystal glutinous rice, is extremely soft, like cotton that makes your mouth tremble.

Then, the teeth got stuck in the tough pork meatballs.

Phew.

The thick meat juice with a strong flavor splashed out from the deep meatballs, which made the mouth twitch. Old Mrs. Liu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, with mist rising from the top of her head. She let out a trembling sigh: It's really, really, a delicacy in the world. !”

The old man was still under control. Duan Hong and Wang Qian, who were sitting at the same table, had already turned into hungry ghosts. Their mouths were chewing and twitching, and their whole faces were distorted. He took off his chopsticks and brought the steamed fish fillets into his mouth.

The aroma of the steamed fish fillets disappears on the tongue, and the rich and fresh flavor that remains is the shadow of a fish!

The pumpkin chunks turned into puree are releasing the freshness of the vegetables.

ah--

Duan Hong and Wang Qian, two chefs from Lin, were dancing happily on their seats, I saw it, I saw it -

The food scene in my mind is a land of plenty.

The hunter returns from the forest with a small wild boar on his shoulder, the peasant woman is planting pumpkins on the fertile land by the river, and the fisherman is sitting quietly on a big rock next to the water, wearing a hat and clothes.

The scenery of the water town that clears up after the rain is endlessly yearning.

Everything is so simple and fresh.

Suddenly, Duan Hong and Wang Qian's dancing postures froze, and two lines of tears quickly fell from their eyes.

Fish fillet, pumpkin chunks, pearl dumplings.

Because rice noodles were mixed before steaming, the lingering fragrance of rice lingered in their mouths and tongues, and the scenery of the water town reflected in their minds was like an old photo, which was constantly wiped by a hand. The more it was wiped, the clearer it became. The more you rub it, the more real it becomes.

Wei Zhong said: This is my steaming!

I realized the secret of steaming!

wipe!

He said lightly, Too many messy things will blind people's eyes and taste. From the perspective of dishes, complex flavors will put heavy pressure on our taste buds. There is nothing wrong with complexity, but if it is clearer, it becomes It’s clear, isn’t it better? Mianyang Sanzheng is the wiping technique that turns fish meat back into pure river food, allows birds and animals to return to the taste of mountains and forests, and allows vegetables to take on the leisurely style of that land.”

Three steams, three flavors, all in one!

Moreover, I use pearl dumplings as the flower core. They are the soul of this dish. Who dares to say that this dish is not pastry? Wei Zhong turned around and glanced at Xia Yu specifically, seeing the young man's confused look. , thinking that he might be questioning the scope of this dish, he said one more thing.

That's right!

Lan Fengxian opened the second steamer. This time, he swallowed the steamed food in the bowl in one breath. While chewing, he said: What is noodles? I am used to separating the word 'face' and 'point'. It refers to pasta, and refers to snacks and snacks.”

From the perspective of ingredients, generally speaking, pastries mostly refer to foods made from powdery ingredients, such as rice flour, wheat flour, etc.

“To this day, there are countless varieties and flavors of pastries.”

Opening the third steamer, Lan Fengxian pointed to the pearl dumplings among the petals and said calmly: This dim sum is indeed pastry, there is no doubt about it!

Moreover, the technique of this dim sum is derived from Jingchu cuisine, but it is a perfect creation that surpasses the previous!

classic work!

Duan Hong and Wang Gan wiped away tears and gave a thumbs up.

Grandpa Liu and Wang Gong, these two are local chefs in central Sichuan. According to Tang Yuqiong's camp, they should be on Xia Yu's side. However, since they are sitting on the sacred judging table of Shiji, their status Only for pure eaters.

Such a classic work may be the key that knocks on that door... Mrs. Liu said fairly, Chef Wei, you are already very close to that state!

Wang Gong, a famous chef in Shu, added:

Once that door is opened, the candidate Pastry King will become a regular!

You have this level!

Wang Gong looked at Wei Zhong and said in a deep voice.

Seeing the captive reactions in the judges' table, Wei Zhong smiled and said, Then, can I be declared the winner?
