Chapter 558: Serious expression

The chef from Country R finished first and was the first to press the bell, which accounted for 0.2 bonus points in the final score.

The dishes were presented one by one to ten round dining tables with glazed turntables, carried by etiquette ladies in traditional Chinese attire.

A woman wearing ancient royal costumes from country R came with heavy makeup. She held a microphone and introduced in a fluent and sweet voice amidst the sound of the piano: "The cuisine of our country R is food that can be tasted with the eyes. The chefs use ingredients with strong sense of the four seasons based on five flavors, five colors and five methods, so that diners can taste them with their five senses..."

Although the diners have an extremely detailed understanding of the dishes from various countries, after listening to the introduction that is integrated with the music, they have more respect and joy for the dishes of country R, ​​as if they have been put through an upper-level aesthetic filter.

The judges forgot that this was a competition for a moment. They acted like they usually foraged for food, picked up the tableware with a sense of ceremony, and began to taste it carefully.

The woman introduced all the dishes on the table one by one, from the preparation and making of condiments to the final shape and meaning. The judges couldn't help but keep up with her pace. Under the influence of culture, the food gained an extra level of magic.

After each dish they tasted, they filled in their scores on the table on the side.

The audience stared nervously at the expressions of the judges. Seeing them either squinting their eyes and chewing in enjoyment, or whispering to each other, smiling and nodding in praise, their hearts immediately felt high, and they looked at Chef Xia Hua who was still immersed in cooking. .

Everyone doesn’t want to deceive themselves anymore, the result of the competition is obviously easy to see!

Anger, unwillingness, shame, all kinds of emotions surged up, as if the shame of those years was happening again, almost forcing people to smash the TV.

But they clenched their fists, their eyes were red, they were breathing heavily, and they continued to stay in front of the TV with a little hope. Maybe, maybe a miracle would come?

The International Chef Competition was initiated by An Zhixia and co-organized with Zhan Jin Entertainment Company. If she was not sure of winning, she would not send Xia Hua as a stepping stone and continue to downplay Xia Hua's image and strength.

Everyone on the field also believed that Team Xia Hua would lose. The chef from Country R chuckled and said, "I just told you to admit defeat on your own. At least it can save ingredients and everyone's time.

Now, tsk tsk, you should admit that our country R’s cooking skills are orthodox, right? "

"You obviously don't have the ability, but you still have to be stubborn. What's your Xia Hua saying? Don't look back until you hit the wall. I think you don't want to look back even if you hit the wall!"

“When I look at this competition, there is a hidden secret. A good chef not only has superb cooking skills, but can also coordinate the entire banquet and prepare a complete set of dishes that matches his own cooking skills.

But you are obviously completely defeated. It seems that Chef An's skills are not very good. If there is no shady story, how can you explain that there is no possibility of winning in the team competition with us? "

Not only did they say sarcastic words, but other people also pointed at Chef Xia Hua's workspace, shook their heads and curled their lips, somewhat approving of the shady remarks.

An Zhiqiu was still immersed in cooking, and the others were led to work **** the finishing work, ignoring the sounds outside.

When the judges finished evaluating Country R’s food, the staff just put away the score cards.

An Zhiqiu rang the bell, and at this time a group of fair-looking women in elegant Hanfu came out from the backstage.

Although the team competition was promulgated on a temporary basis, all countries have put in a lot of effort to get good rankings. It is still very easy to temporarily form a national cheerleading team in country M.

What's more, this is in the Xiahua Hotel. The waiters have been carefully selected and are excellent in their own right. Moreover, because they have to display various Xiahua cultural themes, they have been personally trained by An Zhixia.

Now is the time for them to apply what they have learned.

The woman Pingting came with her long neck, graceful posture, and subtle and graceful temperament. She completely conformed to the international people's imagination of oriental women and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

If you want to pay attention to the exquisiteness of the food, then the palace feast should not be ignored.

Xiahua is the country of porcelain. The food utensils are not only exquisite in materials and colors, but also in varied styles. The combination of interesting and uniform goes hand in hand, presenting a spectacular banquet in front of the judges and the audience.

If the banquets in Country R are as exquisite as gongbi paintings, making people unable to bear to eat chopsticks, then Xia Hua's meals are as beautiful as one, without any deliberate effort, and have a fatal attraction for diners. The flavors are intertwined, and they all taste good. The sound of the spring water on the side is consistent with the tinkling sound.

The team of women didn’t stand still after serving the food, and danced directly in the beautiful artistic conception.

Xia Hua’s audience held their breath and stared at the judges’ tableware.

There was no interpreter, so the judges tasted the food casually.

The color and aroma of Xia Hua cuisine have obviously surpassed R's national cuisine. This powerful first impression has its own halo, which made the judges become dedicated, abandon their prejudice against Xia Hua, and enjoy the pleasure brought by the delicious food. happiness.

After all, for a diner who has eaten all over the world, his tongue has been developed and he cannot swallow ordinary delicacies. So being able to encounter a delicious food that makes them tremble all over is nothing short of a blessing, and everything should give way to it.

They enjoyed the famous Jinglong Dance while enjoying delicious food. The music brought time back to thousands of years ago, and the surrounding scenes became unimportant afterimages.

The judges were moved by the delicious food in their mouths. Yes, it was purely moved by its mellow and natural taste. Country R pursues five flavors, but it is actually six flavors. The sixth one is "light", which highlights the taste of the ingredients themselves.

I don’t know that all kinds of condiments carefully developed to enhance the taste of ingredients are not as authentic as their pure taste.

Does Chef Xia Hua not know the importance of condiments?

Isn’t there Chef Xia Hua who carefully researches all kinds of condiments that are too detailed to consolidate his position in the culinary world?

Yes, but these things have not left many traces in the long river of history, and have become side details and faded away.

Cooking shouldn’t put the cart before the horse!

The judges couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction. They also lamented that even if Xia Hua Country encountered the most embarrassing decades of history, it could not erase the civilization that had been brilliantly accumulated for thousands of years.

What's more, the combination of singing and dancing and the exquisite tableware made them feel as proud as distinguished guests, and they really felt extremely happy both physically and mentally.

However, because they were too shocked and infected, their faces could not keep up with the complex and changeable emotions, and their expressions were a bit stiff, making it difficult for outsiders to detect their true thoughts.

Everyone gradually held their breath and concentrated. Even the noisy chef from country R noticed something was wrong.

“Ha, the judges look so serious. Did Chef Xia Hua make a major mistake?”
