Chapter 380

In a formal meal, Italian food has about four main courses. The first course is "staple food", which may be common Italian dishes such as spaghetti and pizza, or soup; the second course is "main course", which is the highlight of a meal, which may be meat, fish or aquatic food; the third course is "salad", usually fruit Or ice cream, the most important one is "desserts", that is, cakes and so on

The reason for "about" four courses is that each part may not have only one course. For example, in some more luxurious meals, the "main course" part will have a meat dish and a fish dish respectively.

In addition to the four main dishes, there is often an "appetizer" before the beginning of a meal.

For example, the "beef and fish" just tasted by the judges belongs to the category of "appetizer".

As an appetizer, there are only four pieces of beef and four pieces of fish in each dish

Although the task of the judges is to "taste", Carlo is confident in his own food. If he doesn't control the weight, it will be difficult for the judges to judge normally You should know that the judges now have to taste "a meal" every other hour. Although they just taste it, they can't hold a large amount of it.

After the taste of the judges was aroused by a "combination of beef and fish" with careful consideration from the temperature to the cutting surface, and then to the sauce, the assistant chef of chef Carlo put a plate covered with the plate cover in front of each judge, and then took the plate cover.

Under the cover of the plate is a small bowl of golden soup, in which are three golden Italian wontons

"Next, please have a taste of the first main course, the Italian lobster wonton soup!" Said chef Carlo.

"Italian wonton" is a kind of small wonton made of spaghetti. The "spaghetti" here is not noodles, but the raw material used to make spaghetti

Spaghetti is made of high gluten flour with oil, egg and water.

It has been mentioned many times before how difficult it is to "pull noodles" after using only egg liquid and noodles. Now we use high gluten flour with egg liquid Even a small amount of oil can not change the fact that the plasticity of this golden dough is extremely poor!

Usually at this time, you need special tools, a kind of auxiliary rolling equipment to press the dough, or slightly sacrifice the taste of the lower skin and dilute some water into it

However, it is obvious that the "all? Blue" side is not so intimate with the Italian cuisine. Even this kind of small tool is ready, and Carlo can not accept it, sacrificing some of the taste of wonton It's better not to do it!

And Carlo's choice is to use the power of hand to replace the instrument!

Today, with all kinds of auxiliary equipment "invading" the kitchen, Carlo's basic skills are undoubtedly worthy of his position in the food industry

Although we use this kind of noodles to roll skin No, it should be said that "skin pressing" is much easier than noodles, but it also shows its basic skills.

Of course Originally, in the heart of chef Carlo, he hoped that this skill of "seeing Kung Fu" could stop Liu's "imitation", because this step was prepared before Liu's entrance. So at the beginning, Carlo was looking forward to how upset Liu would be when he found that there was no auxiliary equipment for rolling skin!

Coincidentally, when Carlo presented this dish, Liu Pleiades also made up the pasta

Carlo has to admit that Liu Pleiades is more agile than him!

Carlo didn't even have time to talk to the judges and let them taste it. Instead, he looked in the direction of Liu Pleiades

At this time, Liu Pleiades simply flattened the golden pasta in the shocked eyes of chef Carlo and the audience, and then rotated the pasta with three fingers as the axis!

Under the centrifugal action, the dough turns into a cake, and then only has the thickness of the crust.

It's faster and more even than Carlo More interesting!

After that, Liu Pleiades' wrist and fingers shot at the same time, making the huge golden skin fly up, because the skin was thin enough, big enough and still rotating, and the skin fell very slowly.

In this gap, Liu Pleiades, holding a narrow blade kitchen knife for cutting fish in both hands, faced the falling huge cotton noodle. When the noodle fell on the cooking table, it was divided into "leftovers" and the round noodle that can be used to wrap wonton.

Judges also have a feeling at this time, that is, they are tasting the "Italian lobster chaos soup", as if they are making it in front of themselves!

Although the culinary foundation of gourmets is certainly not as good as that of real cooks, at this moment, they instinctively feel that what Liu Pleiades is doing seems to be the bowl of lobster wonton soup in front of them!

Of course, it will be a while before they know whether their intuition is accurate

Italian lobster wonton soup, Boston lobster prepared by saifang, lobster meat as stuffing, lobster shell soup, and finally mix the cooked Italian wonton with the soup cooked with lobster shell! The shell of

shrimp and crab contains the essence of aquaculture, but it is not so easy to cook.Because of the strong flavor, accompanied by a fishy smell

It's like "taste sealed crab soup", that is, all the delicious and fishy smell in the crab shell are introduced, paralyzing people's taste!

In order to make soup, we usually make sure that the flavor is better than the fishy one. We don't use too many other ingredients. At most, we can add a few light fruits and vegetables to make soup

And chef Carlo is obviously greedy for food, which is far more than that of ordinary chefs. He chose to use the existing ingredients to completely detonate and reconcile the delicious and fishy taste of lobster!

The taste of Xianchun instantly conquered the taste buds of the judges. Although they knew that there was still a heavy "task" behind them, the judges were wayward once Drink up the soup!

Of course, the only thing that makes Carlo feel "flawed in beauty" is that while the judges are tasting his food, they also have a short-term state of selflessness, but the speed of entering the sage mode is obviously too fast! In the second half of the journey, the judges tasted his food and watched Liu Pleiades After all,

understands that as like as two peas Carlo knows, the judges are looking at Liu Maoxing, but in the final analysis, they are curious about his cooking. But this seems to be a matter of acquiescence to the young man who can do the same thing as he does, which makes Carlo feel uncomfortable.

And the most awkward thing is that chef Carlo has this intuition of his own!

Next, the assistant chefs of the "Italian royal cuisine team" presented the "main course" to the judges

It looks like a plate of sliced beef with this white yellow "sauce" on it. It's different from the original appetizer "beef and fish", this time it's cooked beef!

"Sauce" can also be more directly translated as "sauce", but it is slightly different from the common "sauce" in Chinese Cuisine

"Sauce" refers in particular to the liquid "sauce" without fermentation process. The more common ketchup and salad dressing, which can't be seen from the appearance and are completely stirred to a semi liquid level, all belong to "sauce".

"Next is the first main course, veal..." Said chef Carlo, somewhat absent-minded.

Now that the cooking is finished, he has time to think about other things For example, think about some asshole who hit his confidence!

Obviously Liu Pleiades also knew what the sauce on his "Italian veal" was. At this time, he was already using a blender to crush part of the tuna meat

Italian veal, is Carlo can find in the game of spices, the perfect ratio of cooked beef, sliced and then sprinkled with sauce.

And this sauce is made from the most basic egg yolk as the base, adding olive oil, sugar, lemon juice, onion juice and tuna mud!

Once again, beef and tuna meet.

At the beginning, the judges' appetite, which was aroused by the "combination of beef and fish", had been attenuated after "tasting" the Italian style lobster wonton soup. At this moment, the sour and sweet fish sauce, as well as the mellow beef, not only brought them different taste, but also made them relish their appetite after having just tasted the "appetizer" ！

Chef Carlo prepared two "main courses" for the meal, including "Italian veal" and "tuna with tomato sauce".

Under the rich red soup, it's a piece of tuna without bones

Tomato is the life of Italian cuisine. The Aldini brothers often use tomato juice skillfully in cooking, and chef Carlo brings the best "stew" of Italian cuisine to the extreme, making the taste of tomato soup permeate into tuna.

Moreover, during chewing, the original taste of tuna will come out from the taste of eggplant juice, which can be said to be the third flavor of "stew"

Then there is a pulp ice cream, which uses all the seasonal fruits provided on the competition field, as well as milk, sterile egg liquid, nuts In addition to the moisture in the ingredients, there is no extra drop of water.

In ice cream, you can also taste the pieces of pulp left intentionally.

The last one is the classic Italian desserts Tiramisu!

Although there are coffee beans, cheese and eggs in the ingredients provided by the competition But tiramisu is not a key "gelatin", which is a gel extracted from animal bones or fish.

However, chef Carlo has his own way, that is, to extract collagen from tuna glue as the raw material of tiramisu Instead of gilding, mix with hot cheese.

Because of the extra fresh smell and other ingredients of tiramisu, Carlo also made some adjustments.

"Harmony" is originally Carlo's specialty. This fish glue version of tiramisu, under Carlo's conditioning, not only has no sense of violation, but also has a first-class flavor

Whether it is bitter coffee, or fish glue, at this time are integrated into one.

As the finish of an Italian meal, it's just right.

In the end, the judges also gave a score of 38.98.

The total score of the team match is 40 points, 38.98 points, which has surpassed that of the chef Carlo. The "100 star three English team" who appeared on the third day scored 38.92 points, which is the highest score so far!If Carlo knew the news before, he would be a little proud. He beat the old opponent of the "100 star three English team"

Even if it's only 0.06, it's already very valuable for them.

But now when chef Carlo heard the news, he was a little distracted, and he was "indifferent" after knowing it.

Of course, the judges also laughed bitterly. Naturally, they can see that Carlo is not really "indifferent", but most of his attention is now on the "germanate team"!

Even though Carlo himself doesn't admit it, the reason why his team performance surpasses that of the old rivals of the "hundred star three English team" is partly because of his "deep soup pot" cooking heart's ability to reconcile. In this kind of competition with limited ingredients and spices, he has played a certain advantage, and the other half is because of Liu's encouragement

What does a successful cook do when he discovers that someone is imitating himself?

Of course, it's to force yourself to do better and see how others imitate

Because of Liu Pleiades, chef Carlo didn't leave immediately after the evaluation. Instead, he stood in the exit and watched the "germanate team" To be exact, it's watching Liu Pleiades' action!

But don't know his behavior, make Liu Pleiades relieved.

Liu Pleiades is really worried that he will leave immediately after the review!

Because the "kitchen heart in the mirror" copied by super vision is disposable, if you want to use it all the time, you must copy it from time to time.

After Liu Pleiades wakes up to "super hearing", even if the chef is not in the state of cooking, he can "see" the chef's heart of the other party and activate the super visual reproduction ability, but in the end, the other party must be within the scope of his own super vision and super hearing

If chef Carlo leaves, there is a risk that he will run out of kitchen spirit, then it will be embarrassing!

Carlo did not know that he inadvertently helped Liu Pleiades. At this time, he stood outside and felt more intuitively that the young man in front of him exuded the same kitchen spirit as himself!

"Is it my kitchen heart like a deep soup pot?"

"No! How could it be such a coincidence... "

"His heart should be Copy? "

Just like the guess of the people in Yuanyue hotel after Liu's awakening of super vision, Carlo mistook Liu's kitchen mind for "replication" at this moment, but didn't realize that it was a kind of sensory ability at this time.

Looking at Liu Pleiades and all kinds of food, Carlo's mood seems to be keeping company with dogs

Andre, the leader of the "central food team" on one side, did not pay attention to the food presented by chef Carlo, nor did he have the heart to separate the voices in the audience.

Therefore, when looking at Liu Pleiades, Andre just feels that Liu Pleiades' cooking is as exquisite as the rumor, and doesn't see anything else

So in Andre's heart, while lamenting Liu's solid foundation and superb cooking skills, he also disdained.

On the contrary, he still laughed at Liu Pleiades for being "arrogant" and fell out with other players in the unfavorable situation.

As for exquisite craftsmanship?

In Andre's view, the cuisine people who really stand at the top of the cuisine world are very skilled. There is no big difference between "exquisite" and "more exquisite" or "very exquisite", which really draws the "inspiration" of the gap!

Of course, they don't need inspiration, because they are using the inspiration of shaving thistle

If Liu Pleiades pays attention to them, he will find that each of them now has a part of the "devil", just like the group of four of Yuanyue College's central food organization.

The so-called "inspiration" refers not only to the overall inspiration of the menu, but also to the details, every time you swing a knife, every time you control the fire Almost intuitive judgment needed!

That's right, that's the pith

However, Liu Pleiades is now able to copy each other's soul temporarily after launching the absolute copy of "super vision"!

The only drawback of the original copy is the strength of the copied kitchen mind, which also depends on Liu's will. It can be seen as a "super vision" copy. It's a "mold" of the kitchen mind, which needs to be filled with will by itself

But now it's no longer a problem. Liu Pleiades hasn't used the "kitchen heart in the mirror" for a long time. It was only a few days ago that he discovered that the ability of the "sun" to absorb solar energy can not only be used by the solar kitchen heart itself, but also play the role of solar panels.

Pour the absorbed energy into the "mold" until it is full!

Therefore, Liu Pleiades can make full use of the power of the kitchen heart model he copied

The only problem that may appear is that "the heart of the kitchen in the mirror" is the moon in the mirror after all. However, because the chef Carlo is very cooperative, he will stay on the sidelines, so that Liu's only worries are gone!

Carlo used to work with five people, but they had time to wait for each other, and then they deducted the time to negotiate the menu and assign tasks at the beginning The real use of "120 minutes" is only about 85 to 90 minutes, and a small part of the time is spent on the "decoration" steps. Carlo still has some time to wait for the shallow treatment results, so he doesn't always go at full speedIn addition to the deduction and cooking area at the beginning, Liu's use of time reached 100% in more than 110 minutes!

In addition to its own efficiency, Liu Pleiades crushed Carlo and four cooks. Therefore, Liu Pleiades, who has been dancing all the time, finally finished all the dishes two minutes before six o'clock

With the six o'clock ringing, the voice of the team match master sounded: "it's time for the 'germanate team' to cook! Please "germanate team" and begin to present the food... "

She didn't know who was the chef and who was the chef in the framework of "germanate team", so she directly used "germanate team" to refer to the whole staff!

Liu Pleiades looked back at the other four and nodded to each other.

Liu Pleiades was the first to go up and personally served five dishes of "fish and cattle" for the five judges

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, the judges asked: "cough, what is Liu Pleiades' dish?"

"As you can see It's a combination of cattle and fish. "

“……”

What's the double play of cattle and fish? Is it a famous dish? Why should this be the appearance of "double play of cattle and fish"! Can't I have a name?

"Well, it doesn't matter what the name is. Let's have a taste first." Another judge couldn't help saying.

as like as two peas, they even think that the sauce on the beef slices is the same as that of Carlos's "cow fish". But the judges do not think that Liu Maoxing can imitate Carol chef's cooking as long as he looks and sees only half of the cooking process.

You know, chef Carlo is one of the closest to the bosses of the major food organizations

However, just at the entrance of the competition, the judges finally found that sometimes emotional intuition is more reliable than rationality!

as like as two peas!

As first-class gourmet masters, their recognition of cuisine is undoubtedly extremely accurate Delicacy as like as two peas,

's top gourmet, even if it's a different recipe, can be distinguished by different people.

The most basic, please two familiar cuisine people, with the same menu to cook, distinguish out is the foundation of a first-class gourmet!

But now They even have the feeling of going back in time and tasting the food of chef Carlo!

Temperature, cut texture, sauce It's as like as two peas!

"Here's the first" staple "of dinner, the Italian lobster wonton soup..."

With these words, Liu Pleiades brought up five plates with their lids. After the judges opened the lids themselves, they found that the golden soup and the golden Italian wonton were underneath

Well, before, because chef Carlo prepared the smallest portion, and now Liu Pleiades is the same, and the two people do not add up to a normal one, so the judges have not tasted enough before, and they can't help looking forward to it.

After the introduction of ravioli and soup, the judges realized again that As like as two peas!

If this is not the "all? Blue" arena, and I have seen Liu's cooking process before, the five judges even suspect that they have been tricked No, it's all done by Carlo, isn't it?

Italian veal, tuna in tomato sauce, ice cream in juice, fish glue tiramis

The dishes that the judges had just tasted less than an hour ago were repeated again

Although the judges haven't given any comments yet, you can guess the effect by looking at their expressions and the chef Carlo!

It was just a strong premonition before, at this moment It seems to be a reality!

"Andre! What are you doing? " Some discordant voices came from the central food team.

Look silly Andre, accidentally use the yolk liquid as the egg white liquid!

Low level mistakes

Andre couldn't help but be distracted. Although he didn't read the food presented by chef Carlo carefully, at least he heard the name.

After Liu Pleiades presented two or three dishes, Andre finally understood that the bursts of voices from the audience were not making noise

In the conference room on the top floor of the headquarters of the "American Development Association", before shaving and cutting thistle, I felt bad when I saw Liu Pleiades' cooking process from the broadcast. When I saw the look of the judges, I felt chilly. Until now, the "central food team" had an accident again, and needed to re cook a dish or change the overall menu.

Don't think about the latter. The people of the "central food team" have no ability of self judgment. They are taught the possibility of all the test questions by shaving and cutting thistle!

Looking at the appearance of shaving and cutting thistle, even his confidant, Ruishan Zhijin, also sat aside and did not dare to make a sound first.

"Well, that's all for today Break upThen he turned off the TV and went out first
