Chapter 49 Delicious

Early this morning, someone came to Li Yu's house and knocked on the door.It was really early, the genius was dim, and Li Zhengxue hadn't even woken up yet.However, the person who knocked on the door seemed to be in a hurry. Li Zhengxue and Li Yu were both woken up by the alarm, thinking that there was something important, they both went out of the yard to have a look.

Li Yu went over, and as soon as he opened the door, the person outside the door immediately bowed at 90 degrees, which made Li Yu take a big step back in surprise.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Li Zhengxue hurriedly stepped forward.

"Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. I am Benoit Soller, the butler of the Soller family in France. Is Mr. Li Yu there?" The bow is a foreign man in his 50s!It's Mandarin, but with a strong Western emphasis.

"Oh... oh, hello, I'm Li Yu." Li Yu also bowed forward and bowed back.Respect the old love~

"I am very glad to meet Mr. Li. I am here this time, hoping that Mr. Li can help us find ingredients on the bottom of the sea today." Benoit Soller directly stated his purpose.

"Looking for ingredients? May I ask what do you want?" Li Yu was completely confused.

"My young master wants to compete with Mr. Chang Mingyao in his cooking skills. He needs seafood ingredients. Please Mr. Li for help today." Benoit Soller said unhurriedly. To be honest, the speed of his speech made his voice pleasant .

"...Wait, you guys want to compete with Chang Mingyao in cooking?" Li Yu felt confused, so he went to the room and took out his mobile phone, and called Chang Mingyao.

Chang Mingyao's meeting was also quite chaotic. Six bodyguards surrounded the young master of the Soller family, Van der Soller, who was said to be the new generation of chefs in France.He is especially good at cooking seafood, and can make the most common seafood delicious.

"Are you willing to accept my challenge?" Van der Soler beckoned, and one of his bodyguards handed the challenge letter to Chang Mingyao.The translation is very touching, even imitating the tone of Van der Soler, very arrogant!

"Why not?" Chang Mingyao took the letter of challenge, which was a post, and looked at it.The post was written in Chinese and French in a very humane manner.

It roughly meant that they had an instant match today, and the venue was set directly on the beach, and Li Yu was in charge of their ingredients.Whatever ingredients they get, their dishes for the competition will be determined by this ingredient.As for the judges, they are Michelin-starred restaurant judges and two other senior chefs invited by Van der Soler.

Although these Michelin-star restaurant reviewers also review restaurants and services, they are definitely almost harsh on the taste of food and chefs.Moreover, even if these reviewers are for their own honor, they will not do such things as black box operations.So, very fair.

"Why did you find Li Yu?" This is what Chang Mingyao cares about.

"Because you like to use the ingredients he provided, I trust your vision." Van der Soler said, very conceited, but he has investigated all the opponents clearly.If the opponent is incompetent, he has no intention of challenging.The translation also dutifully expressed the meaning.

"Even if he makes the worst ingredients, I'm willing to make them." Chang Mingyao hummed, turned around and left to prepare.

The kitchen utensils for the competition are prepared by the chef himself.Kitchen utensils are very important for chefs, and only with good kitchen utensils can they perform better.And almost every chef has his own custom-made set of kitchen utensils, which are also very handy.For example, the kitchen utensils of Van der Soller are airlifted all the way from France, which takes a lot of thought!

Li Yu called Chang Mingyao for confirmation, and asked him to find some ordinary seafood.After receiving Chang Mingyao's letter, Li Yu packed up his things and went to the beach.This time they didn't specify the ingredients they wanted, they just asked Li Yu to get some fresh seafood from Xiaonanwan.

Chang Mingyao was not stingy either, and asked people to arrange the competition scene here in Xiaonanwan.Tables and chairs for the judges, parasols, stoves for the contestants, seasonings for side dishes, etc. are all available.Even the onlookers were guided by the security guards of their guild hall.The only difference is that the photographer is watching the camera appear and disappear, and the other configurations are completely in the regular game mode.

"Your ingredients are very good." Van der Soler pulled a piece of raw cabbage and chewed it, and praised generously.

"Our seafood here is even better." Chang Mingyao was not modest either.

A lot of people have gathered around, invited five judges, three of them are judges of Michelin restaurants, the other two, one is a famous seafood chef in China, and the other is from France.Generally speaking, it is very thoughtful and fair.

When Li Yu came ashore from the sea, the beach was already very lively.Just now he was very close to the beach, and his harvest was very ordinary.Mostly prawns, some conch, and two squid, which he caught himself with a small net.Carrying a bucket of things, Li Yu walked directly to Chang Mingyao, and took a look at Van der Soler next to him.Mostly foreigners, he rarely saw them, so he was a little curious.

"Do you see enough of these?" Li Yu asked Chang Mingyao.

"It's just suitable for appetizers, enough." Chang Mingyao nodded, and then said to Van der: "You can choose as you please."

What they have to do is an appetizer first, and then three main courses. Considering the time, there is no dessert.Fandel came over to have a look, and was quite satisfied with the quality of the seafood, so he picked some shrimp and squid.The remaining conch and some shrimp dishes are also satisfied.

"I asked Xiaohui to catch fish, and it will be delivered later. Huahua and Niuniu have also gone into the sea. What ingredients do you need, I will look for them?" Li Yu naturally helped Chang Mingyao.

"It's enough, you sit next to me, and you can taste it when I make it." Chang Mingyao knows what Xiaohui and the others are capable of, and there must be enough ingredients to wait.

Chang Mingyao and Fandel have quite the same idea about the way of appetizers.Chang Mingyao is going to make conch slices mixed with old vinegar cucumber, while Fandel is going to mix hot and sour seafood.The two dishes are not difficult. The old vinegar cucumber mixed with conch slices just pay attention to the heat when blanching the conch, and don’t overcook it, otherwise the conch slices will be soggy and unpalatable.

The cutting method of cucumber is also particular. It is best to shoot it in cold salad on weekdays, so it is delicious.However, it is not visually good to take pictures of cucumbers. All Chang Ming delicacies are cut in a diamond shape, the size of the tip of a big finger, so it is easy to eat in one bite.When mixing, less salt and soy sauce are used, and oil is added to Changming dishes.Finally, it is served with white vinegar made from pure grain, which is absolutely refreshing.

Fandel's hot and sour seafood mix has more ingredients, such as celery, cherry tomatoes, purple cabbage, onions and so on.The blanched shrimp and shredded squid are mixed with these various vegetables. The vegetables are all shredded by hand and look irregular, but they taste more fibrous than those cut with a knife.However, Vandel's sour is taken from lemon, and onion is used instead of spicy, and a little salad dressing is added in it.Generally speaking, it should be regarded as a Western-style seafood salad.

Both of them acted extremely fast, and when it was presented to the judges, Fandel's dishes looked more colorful.However, the dishes of Chang Ming Yao are more simple, with restrained colors, simple and refreshing.

However, when putting on the plate, Chang Mingyao packed an extra portion, and it was quite substantial, and handed it to Li Yu himself: "Taste it and see if you like it."

Li Yu smelled a faint sour smell, which made him swallow unconsciously.Quickly pick up the chopsticks and start eating. The sliced ​​snail meat is very crispy and smooth, and it is not inferior to the crispness of the cucumber in the side dish.The snail meat slices are tough, and the cucumbers are crunchy, each with its own characteristics.But the whole dish is crispy, with sour taste, very appetizing.

After a while, Li Yu had already finished his portion.This made the onlookers next to them express envy and hatred.They all looked at him drooling, but just now Li Yu didn't notice it and was immersed in the delicious food.

Chang Mingyao and Fandel tasted their own dishes and each other's dishes respectively.Without the need for judges to make judgments, Fandel himself said: "I lose!"

Because outdoors, although it is an induction cooker, it is more difficult to control the temperature. After all, the outdoor temperature is completely different from the indoor temperature.With the sea breeze blowing from time to time, Fandel's squid got a little old when it was blanched.But Chang Mingyao also uses fire conch, which is thinner, but it is just right.

"At least your tongue is good." Chang Mingyao said flatly.

"..."

Several judges also appreciated the dishes made by Chang Mingyao, as Fandel said.

What is crushing? In the next few dishes, Chang Mingyao thoroughly implemented the word "crushing"!

Xiaohui and Huahua brought up a lot of fish, shrimp and crab, and they let the two chefs choose at will.Li Yu went to the sea to get all the seafood, and Chang Mingyao called the waiter to help.Regarding the scene of Xiao Hui, Hua Hua, and Niu Niu catching seafood and sending them back, the judges and Fandel and his group all looked straight at it.

Fander's housekeeper came to remind Li Yu just now that Li Yu didn't go to sea to find ingredients.But Li Yu said that there will be fresh seafood for Chang Mingyao and Fandel later, so the housekeeper didn't say anything.In this regard, the quality of the butler is absolutely excellent.

Fandel is good at making the most delicious food with ordinary ingredients. Chang Mingyao chooses sea prawns, conch, sea shells and fiddler crabs.It is definitely the most common, even people who catch the sea on weekdays can also catch a big bucket, which is completely in line with what Vanderner calls the most common ingredients.

Fandel fish, shrimp, crab and scallops are all selected. Although there is no abalone wing belly, in general, there are more materials to choose than Changming dishes, and they can be used better.Originally, he wanted to choose conch, but he couldn't make it. There was a sense of oppression that he couldn't surpass the ingredients made by Chang Mingyao.I have to say, as a chef, this is definitely the most frustrating thing, not one of them!

The dishes Chang Mingyao chooses to cook are also very simple, but they are all improved versions.Longjing shrimp, Longjing was replaced by sea tea, crystal conch, traditional seafood soup, but the ingredients are all hard shell seafood.Chang Mingyao's cooking movements are very quick, without sloppy at all.Everyone watched as if they were enjoying an art performance.

Fan Deer on the other side is not bad either, he is a few years older than Chang Mingyao, but somehow he feels the pressure from Chang Mingyao, which makes his hands and feet a little flustered.This is something he has never experienced!

And Fandel's distraction made Chang Mingyao frown, and reminded: "If my opponent is just like this, I think this competition is an insult to me." The translator hesitated to tell Fandel this sentence.

"...Thank you." This man's poisonous mouth did not match his appearance at all!Is this the black belly in the Chinese legend?

Fandel also made baked scallops with French characteristics, fish rolls, and seafood chowder soup, which he also slightly modified.

Other onlookers saw two handsome chefs cooking there, and the aroma of the dishes was sent to everyone's noses with the sea breeze.The onlookers felt very hungry, Li Yu licked his lips and looked at Chang Mingyao eagerly.Looking forward to Chang Mingyao's quick preparation of the dishes, I am already very hungry after eating the appetizers.

"I think the portions of Mr. Chang's dishes can be bigger." When serving dishes, one of the judges suggested very tactfully.

"..." When I'm dead?Fandre was once again heartbroken.

Li Yu still got the largest three dishes, which made him very happy.After the judges over there finished eating, they couldn't help but look at Li Yu twice.Didn't they all say to increase the portion of the dishes? How can this be?Still only two or three mouthfuls!I really hope there are no bad reviews.

For these dishes, several judges gave the evaluation: Vander made the essence of French cuisine, which is definitely the representative taste of French cuisine.Traditional and delicious, with a strong French flair.And Changming Yao's dishes are very Chinese, but refreshing.After tasting it, I still can't get enough of it, and I look forward to eating more dishes made by him immediately.It's so addictive, I don't want to stop talking!

It is obvious that such an evaluation will win or lose. Van der's dishes are delicious, but the same taste can be tasted by other French chefs.But the dishes made by Chang Mingyao have unique flavors, and there is no semicolon in this one alone, which makes people have endless aftertastes.

"Delicious!" Licking his lips, Li Yu burped shamelessly and made a classic evaluation...
