Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

No matter how many variations there are, the shapes of the towers are similar, such as the Eiffel Tower shape, Christmas tree shape, and pyramid shape. Almost all contestants have continued to use these shapes.

Except for Tangyu.

When getting the title, Tang Yu’s first thing was to think about the shape. No matter how good the color and taste of macarons are, it is impossible to surprise the well-informed judges on the jury table. On the contrary, this macaron The shape of the dragon tower needs to be innovated.

Recalling her idea of ​​urban architecture during the group stage, Tangyu suddenly thought of a very famous building in the world.Although it will be more difficult to use that peculiar building to build the macaron tower, but he knows that it is time to give it a go. If you don't try your best at this time, when will you wait?

70、The finale

"Macaronta with Jasmine Vanilla and Sunshine Fruit flavors."

Tang Yu carefully served her own macaron tower and put it on the judges' table, but she was a little worried.The jasmine powder in the ingredients room provided by the venue seemed a little sour, so he turned up the sweetness of the vanilla cream a little, and hoped it would be okay.

Different from the works presented by other contestants, the macaron tower served by Tangyu has only two flavors and two colors from top to bottom. The difference lies in the shape of this macaron tower, which seems to float on A crescent moon in the lotus cloud.Sunshine light fruit macarons sprinkled with edible gold powder represent the brightness of the moon, and the light pink jasmine vanilla macarons are like a few faint clouds lingering on the moon. The whole shape is not only difficult but also super beautiful Huan, it's simply jaw-dropping.

Before the judges commented, there was thunderous applause at the scene, and the cheers were louder and louder.

"If I'm not mistaken, this shape is the crescent building in Dubai!"

"No matter what works he produces, first of all, the appearance is very pleasing to the eye!"

The judges were discussing enthusiastically. It was the first time for the judges present to see such an amazing macaron tower shape. The young Chinese sweetheart in front of them really kept surprising them.

"It's a pity that this jasmine vanilla macaron seems to be a bit sweet."

Before Tangyu could be happy, another comment wafted in his ear, which made him nervously twist his hands hanging in front of him.really!Or my sense of taste is holding me back!There is still a trace of annoyance in my heart. After going through such a difficult three games, if I just fell down, I really feel a little bit unwilling...

However, to Tangyu's relief, the unique shape of his macaron tower gave him enough points. In the end, he ranked fifth with a total score of 46 points and entered the third round of semi-finals without any risk. .

The five-to-three semi-final is more difficult, requiring five contestants to present three desserts, representing three classic moments in their lives: the most memorable moment, the most glorious moment, and the most important moment.

After three days of knockout rounds, the competition venue seemed somewhat empty. There were originally twenty cooking tables, but now only a quarter remained.The five pastry masters who entered the semi-finals were all lost in thought for a long or short time when they saw the topic.

The same is true for Tangyu.Quietly looking back on his 19 years of life, it can be said to be full of ups and downs: the pride of becoming famous as a young man, the despair of being wronged and victimized, the hesitation in a strange world, the helplessness of impostors, the hurt of not being trusted, the unremitting struggle for self-improvement, The sweetness of love, the hardships of taking responsibility, the collapse of losing taste, and in the end, relying on Shen Lie's support and his own unremitting efforts, he finally stood here again.

In just 19 years, he has had too many unforgettable and memorable moments, how should he choose?What kind of three desserts will you make to present to the judges, to the audience, and to yourself?Among the five players, I have the lowest points. If I stop at this moment, what kind of memory will I keep for myself?

During this tangled time, Tang Yu would subconsciously look for Shen Lie's eyes.Looking at each other, everything in this world, everything in this noisy world seems to be still for a moment, just staring at each other quietly, letting each other's souls blend in their eyes.It was a place as gentle as water, as if thousands of lavenders were quietly blooming on the shore of each other's heart lake, quiet, beautiful and serene.

"No matter what, I'm proud of you."

Tangyu saw Shen Lie mouthing such a sentence to herself. Although the distance was so far away, his breath seemed to be warming on her forehead, brushing lightly like a feather. Being so gentle made my heart feel so full of emotions that it was about to explode.

Every minute and every second with him is so happy!If you want to ask yourself the most important moment in your life, it is to be able to be with him and be happy together.

At this moment, Tangyu's eyes were a little wet, but she made up her mind and decided on the three desserts he was about to present.

The 150-minute semi-final competition time flew by, and the five contestants prepared their three classic moment works, while the seven judges walked off the judges' seats together, came to the contestants' cooking tables, and began to taste and evaluate one by one their works.

Tang Yu ranked fifth because of points, so the cooking table he was on was ranked last.When the judges judged the works of the top four contestants and started walking towards him, his heart was still beating violently.

"Please introduce your work." Shen Lie smiled and let Tangyu relax with his gaze.

Tang Yu lifted the lid of the food box and brought out his first dessert—the most memorable moment. "Eight Treasure Gold Cheese", the dessert that he has never tried since he came to this world, which is in a nightmare.

I saw a small bowl made of seven fresh oranges with a top cover separated from the stem. The pulp inside has been hollowed out and filled with milky and rich cheese.The eight treasures of wolfberry, lotus seeds, longan, lily, almond, red bean, mung bean, and peanut are like scattered pearls, colorfully distributed in the golden yellow cheese.Using fresh orange as the container makes this refrigerated dessert exude a faint orange aroma, which blends with the milky aroma of the cheese itself, making it extraordinarily fresh and attractive.

Several judges nodded after tasting it, and one of them couldn't help asking: "Sweetheart, why did you choose such a dessert to represent your most memorable moment?"

"This eight-treasure golden cheese is a traditional Chinese palace delicacy. It not only represents my past, but also represents the beginning of my entry into the new world." Tangyu explained calmly with a smile on her face: "From then on Later, I started to learn about western desserts, which are accepted and loved by the public, but there are also many classic works of Chinese desserts, and I hope to better integrate Chinese and Western desserts and present more delicacies to everyone.”

Shen Lie couldn't stop laughing as he listened, the little guy was eloquent and what he said was particularly flattering, no wonder the judges and audience loved him.

At the moment of glory, Tangyu presented seven mini Charlotte crown cakes. The moment he won the championship in the Netherlands was naturally his moment of glory.It is not rare to be able to make Charlotte cakes well. What is rare is that the miniature Charlotte cakes made by Tangyu are only as big as walnuts, but they are so exquisitely made. Finger cakes the size of toothpicks, pearl-like fruit pieces After cutting the cake, the patterns made of the rice-sized sponge cake rolls all amazed the judges.

Although the cake is small, the technical content displayed in it is really powerful. Ask yourself, none of the judges present can say that they can make this mini Charlotte flawlessly within the specified time.

After the presentation of these two wonderful desserts, the audience at the scene was already boiling. The audience sitting in the back row even stood up from their seats, stretching their necks on tiptoes to see what Tangyu will show in the competition field. The third dessert.

The most important moment is coming, and everyone's eyes are focused on Tangyu's cooking table. What kind of surprises will the mysterious work still covered by the food box bring to the audience and judges?

The lid of the food box was opened in full view, and surprisingly, there was only a small chocolate-colored inch-square box inside.It stands to reason that all desserts are made in seven copies, and they need to be judged by seven judges. Why, Tang Yu only made one copy of the third dessert?

What is even more puzzling is that this small square box that seems to be made of chocolate looks a little too ordinary, not as eye-catching as Tangyu's previous works, and even , It's not as good as the chocolate cup he made during the stress test. The intricate patterns on the cup are still fresh in everyone's memory.

Immediately, there was a buzzing sound from the auditorium on the sidelines. Everyone was speculating and discussing. Could it be that there was something else going on in it?Amidst the noisy sound, Tang Yu's clear voice sounded:

"I know everyone is wondering why I produced such an unattractive work at the most important moment. In fact, standing at the final scene, I just want to prove myself. Even if my sense of taste has not fully recovered, I still I can also make delicious desserts. I also want to take this opportunity to tell everyone that no matter what hardships and hardships I face, I will never give up. No matter whether I win or lose this year, I will go on firmly, and one day , I, Tangyu, will win the title of Dessert Master, and I will stand on the podium representing the highest honor in the dessert industry, and show the world desserts with Chinese characteristics."

Then, he apologized to the judges: "I'm very sorry that in this session
