Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

Well-known gourmet magazines and newspapers, as well as gourmet websites, often have news about you and Leo. "Ailun smiled at Shen Lie who was standing aside, and then said to Tang Yu: "Sweetheart, I'm so happy to see that you can still participate in the finals!"Although without you, I would lose a strong enemy, but I'm still more happy to see you standing here again. "

"Alan, thank you for your concern!" Although he and Alan are not particularly close friends, this friendship born of competition makes Tangyu feel very precious.

"See you in the final!"

"Come on! See you in the final!" The young smile was extraordinarily bright under the scorching sun of Las Vegas.

After half a year, Tang Yu once again set foot on a bigger arena, facing more judges and spectators, Tang Yu still inevitably felt a little nervous, nervous about unknown competition events, and even more worried that her taste would be hindered.After the host gave a passionate opening speech, Tang Yu was surprised to find that the first round of competition was actually a team competition.

The twenty finalists were randomly divided into four groups, with five members in each group, and the content of the competition required each group of contestants to present an exhibit, three desserts related to the theme of the exhibit, and the The essence of a mini dessert.

The team competition, as the name suggests, relies on the cooperation between the teams. The five contestants have to work together, communicate and coordinate well in order to present a group of perfect works that are related to each other.

But at the end of the day, it's an individual game again, and if you don't perform well, you're eliminated, so everyone wants to do their best, which goes against the spirit of teamwork.Therefore, to win this round of competition, you must try to achieve a balance between the two.

After all, only the group with the highest score in the four groups can all advance to the second round, while the fifteen players from the other three groups will all enter the stress test, and only the five players with the best performance in the stress test will be re-entered. It's going to be a hell of a battle royale to get a chance to make it to the next round.

In fact, the content of this round of competition is beneficial to Tangyu, because if the team members play to their strengths, he can make that exhibit, and making exhibits is for him who has not fully recovered his sense of taste. That being said, it's definitely a matter of pros outweighing cons.

Unfortunately, Tangyu met four team members with strong personalities. They discussed the theme and creativity of the work for 10 minutes, but no decision was made yet.

Tangyu was inspired by this city in the desert, and came up with a good idea - "Dream City", using the unique and charming buildings in Las Vegas as ideas to make exhibits and desserts.But just as he wanted to speak, he was overwhelmed by the fierce quarrel, just like the quicksand in the desert quickly filled the cracks between the sand valleys, leaving him no gaps.

His English is average, so he could only shut his mouth and sigh in his heart, hoping that they could discuss a good result, and then strive to make the exhibits by himself.

But even this little wish was not fulfilled.The loud voice from Canada in the group claims his nickname is "King of Exhibits", and he will present an incomparable exhibit.

In line with the principle of being humble and low-key, and everyone cooperating, Tangyu did not waste the team's time arguing with the "King of Exhibits" again on this link, but silently accepted the task assigned to her.

The final discussion result of Tang Yu’s group was also inspired by Las Vegas. The exhibits will be made in the shape of a cactus in the desert, and the three products will be freely played by Tang Yu and other three people to create a holiday style desserts, and the mini desserts corresponding to the exhibits were completed by the only female dessert chef in the group.

Tang Yu hurriedly said a few more words, hoping to discuss the ingredients used with everyone, and try to match the taste and shape as much as possible.However, too much time had been spent on the previous debate. Seeing that the clock had passed 10 minutes, the team members got busy in a hurry, and no one wanted to waste time discussing this issue.

This suffocating team competition is so deceitful, which organizing committee member came up with the competition system out of nowhere!Shen Lie, who was sitting on the judging panel, paid attention to the state of Tangyu's group, and couldn't help but feel a little worried for him.Among the other three groups, two of the teams cooperated better than Tangyu's group, and those who discussed with each other went relatively smoothly, and soon entered the stage of making finished products.Even the ingredients used have obviously considered the combination of each other.

Therefore, in team competitions, not only depends on the ability of the players, but also a little bit of luck. After all, no matter how well you do alone, you can't win. It also depends on the overall performance of the team.

120 minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and Tang Yu had already finished his desserts. He took a look at the situation of the team members, and found that the appearance of several desserts was good, but the exhibit presented by the "King of Exhibits" was really disappointing. Dare to compliment.

Shouldn't it be in the shape of a cactus in the desert?Shouldn't the desert be delicate yet rough, wavy, sun-drenched colors?Shouldn't a cactus be a green, vibrant shape?What is that yellow sticky thing with a disgusting color?What are those dark ones made of chocolate?Tangyu thought desperately, people who don't know may think it's a few mace stuck in the yellow mud pond!

Looking at the finished products of the other three groups, Tang Yu fully understood the true meaning of the saying "Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs".

But no matter what, Tangyu still has confidence in her own dessert.When the seven judges came to the presentation table where their group was, they were obviously not satisfied with the exhibits presented by the "King of Exhibits", but the tropical fruit holiday pie made by Tangyu was still impressive.

On a piece of golden gravel, chocolate-colored pies lay lazily in an oasis represented by a green leaf.When you cut the pie, you can see the beautiful and delicate dark chocolate cream and white passion fruit cream. Wrapped in the cream are cut pears, blackberries, and custard apples soaked in pear juice. The fillings are black and white and have texture.

In the mouth, this pie made by Tangyu is crispy on the outside, rich in fillings, and has a tropical style and a leisurely holiday mood.It fits very well with the group's theme of "Recreational Oasis in the Desert" and also has its own creativity, which is an excellent work.

"Although the combination of fillings is very delicious, it is still slightly sweet when paired with the chocolate skin." Shen Lie knew that Tangyu's sense of taste had not yet fully recovered, so he still gently mentioned: "If you use lemon To enhance the flavor, it will be more impressive."

Tangyu pursed her lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's useless no matter how good I do, our team will definitely not get the highest score."

Knowing what he meant, Shen Lie also smiled and said: "Don't be discouraged, the stress test is based on personal performance, work hard!"

Indeed, as soon as the judges' scores were typed out, Tangyu's group only scored 20.5 points, which was 3.5 points away from the group with the highest total score.As a result, Allen's group won this round of the team competition with 24 points. The five members of the group successfully entered the second round, while the players in the other three groups will all enter the stress test and compete again.

After a short 10-minute break, the [-] contestants immediately entered the tense and breathless stress test session.

Under the eyes of everyone, the velvet curtain on the rostrum was lifted, and there was only a chocolate-colored mug on the small dinner plate.All the fifteen contestants let out a "Hey" sound, and swarmed up to see what happened.

However, no matter how close it was, the cup was nothing more than a cup of snow-topped coffee, with two mint leaves and a red cherry on top of the delicate and pure white ice cream.

What does this mean?Tang Yu was thinking nervously, could it be that he wants to use coffee and ice cream as the main ingredients to make a dessert that goes with the snow top coffee?

Tang Yu slowly walked back to her cooking table, suddenly she had a flash of inspiration in her heart, and then looked back, in the distance, the mug on the rostrum was quiet and mysterious under the spotlight.

knew!The corner of Tangyu's mouth curled into a knowing smile. The theme of this stress test is really very misleading. Fortunately, he has fully understood what kind of dessert this round of stress test is going to accomplish!That is--

69. Stunning Stress Test

The subject of this stress test is the soufflé, if we talk about it in more detail, it is a frozen soufflé!

Souffle is not only known as the king of desserts in the dessert industry, but also often appears in dessert competitions of all sizes. The reason is not only because soufflé is a classic dessert, but also because it is recognized by the dessert industry. It is the most difficult dessert to make, and the most important thing is to master the timing accurately, and not present it to the judges too late, otherwise the puffy top will collapse.Especially in competitions, to present a flawless soufflé in a limited time requires extremely high skill and psychological quality.

In the finals, Shen Lie used a chocolate raspberry soufflé with perfect taste and appearance to win the final championship and won the title of dessert master.

But this time, it was different.

In addition to the baking method of soufflé, there is also a frozen souffle that does not need to be baked, but can be easily shaped as long as it is refrigerated.But this game is not so simple.

Thanks to Shen Lie being the judge,
