Chapter 2215: Not tofu

Only when he clearly felt that the camera had moved away from him did Yuan Zhou slightly relax his waist that had been straightened up just now.

This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t care about his own image, but rather that he was the only Chinese chef.

As a rare Chinese chef in the bogus world cooking competition, he represented the image of the country.

It was too easy for people to have an impression of the group of people that each person represented in a country.

For example, all Chinese people knew Kung Fu. Well … Combined with Yuan Zhou’s previous knife skills, it seemed that this point could not be washed away.

Originally, with Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills and mental state, it was impossible for him to do so. This was the expression of Yuan Zhou being very concerned about it.

“We have to keep it perfect. We have to let them know that Chinese chefs are all monsters.” Yuan Zhou muttered in the heart.

The appetizer of French home-cooked dishes was mostly salad, soup, and meat sauce. In high-end cuisine, the appetizer was actually the most important part. Imagination and creativity emerged endlessly, and it was rarely repeated in different restaurants.

A small portion of spaghetti would also appear for all kinds of seafood.

As the main focus of the competition was in Europe, the system of the competition was not very friendly to Asia or even China. Of course, delicacies were borderless. Yuan Zhou had always felt that as long as the taste was good enough, there would definitely be no problem.

At that moment, the first dish was served by the serving ladies. Yuan Zhou named it flawless white jade. Of course, the translation of the “perfect Jade” after balding head was also understandable.

The judges were able to understand the dish as soon as they saw it. Yuan Zhou had specially chosen a light green bowl with an irregular petal shape at the mouth. Inside, a piece of white food that looked like a floating cloud was quietly floating in the almost colorless soup. The main thing was that some red ham powder was sprinkled on top of the White food. The collision of the colors made it look even more flawless.

“It really does have the meaning of perfect Jade.” Adlaide said.

“It is indeed a piece of Jade that is pleasing to the eye.” Gauss nodded in agreement.

“Isn’t our theme bris chicken? what’s the use of tofu? chicken soup tofu? isn’t this a little off topic?” Ju man Li smiled and quickly found a flaw.

Although his cutting skills were a bit blind, it didn’t meet the question, so it didn’t matter how good the taste was.

Ju man Li sniffed the fresh and elegant fragrance again, and he agreed with the smell in his heart.

“You haven’t even tried it yet, and you already know that you don’t meet the requirements. I’m telling you, there are many wonderful ideas in Chinese cuisine that are beyond your imagination. You really should go out and take a look.” August didn’t know how Yuan Zhou did it.

However, he firmly believed that it was impossible for Yuan Zhou to cook dishes that didn’t conform to the theme. That was for sure. The main reason was that this old man was too annoying. He kept harping on Yuan Zhou and affecting his taste of the delicacies.

At this time, Alexander, who was standing on ju man Li’s side, spoke up to smooth things over.”Head chef August is right. We can try it first. If you still don’t understand, we can ask the participating head chef to explain it personally.”

First, it was because they didn’t agree with each other in terms of philosophy. Second, it was indeed due to Yuan Zhou’s amazing basic cutting skills. He felt that a chef with such excellent cutting skills would never make such an obvious mistake.

Abby also nodded in agreement.

Ju man Li didn’t say anything. Anyone would know what it felt like to become a commander in the blink of an eye.

As it was a competition, Yuan Zhou divided one serving of chicken tofu pudding into eight portions and put them into eight small bowls. Therefore, there was one serving in front of each judge.

It was divided before the shape was set, so each portion seemed to be made individually. The shape was natural, with edges and corners, and the shape was irregular, but it was very natural.

Ju man Li picked up the spoon next to him and tried to scoop a spoonful. The spoon was used for Western food. It had a long handle and a large outline. As soon as it touched the soft cloud-like tofu pudding, a piece was immediately scooped out.

“It’s quite tender. It doesn’t feel like tofu?” Ju man Li was a little confused.

He knew that the tofu had been poisoned by Auguste and the others. He had seen the photos and introductions, but now that he had come into contact with it, with his many years of cooking experience, he felt that something was wrong.

When he put it into his mouth, as the spoon got closer and closer, an elegant taste with a little bit of saltiness assailed his nose, which made him feel like he had a great appetite.

As soon as it came into contact with his mouth, the soft and smooth texture immediately filled his mouth. The rich taste of chicken made it impossible for anyone to mistake that the White food was made of chicken.

The rich and fresh taste was mixed with the unique taste of the marinated ham, which added a little beauty to the fresh and elegant chicken beancurd.

“This is Arden’s ham. I didn’t know that it could produce such a wonderful taste when paired with bris chicken. What an ingenious idea.” Ju man Li sighed in his heart.

Then, he didn’t slow down either. He ate very quickly, spoonful by spoonful. Finally, he even picked up the bowl and drank the soup.

Compared to the elegance of the chicken beancurd, the taste of the soup was slightly richer. The clear soup had the rich taste of chicken concentrated in it. It was mellow and moving, both moist and without a greasy feeling. It was the best among chicken soup.

After finishing the last drop of soup, ju man Li couldn’t help but smacked his lips. Then, as if he had suddenly come back to his senses, his body stiffened. He had clearly wanted to pick on the wrong person just now, but now … Why couldn’t he?

He slowly turned his head to look at the other judges and found that everyone was still immersed in the deliciousness of the chicken beancurd. Only Juman Li’s eyes actually saw Abby, who was beside him, secretly refill her bowl. He simply couldn’t bear to look.

“I haven’t eaten much Chinese food, so I suddenly found it delicious. It must be because it’s fresh.” Ju man Li warned him in his heart. He knew that he had not eaten much Chinese food, but he was determined to boycott Chinese food.

However, as one of the waitresses approached, a strange and rich fragrance wafted over. The closer he got, the stronger the fragrance became. Juman li directly threw his own Grand words to the back of his mind and stared at the plate without blinking.

As for August and the others, as long as ju man Li didn’t stir up trouble, who would have the time to bicker? wouldn’t it be nice if they had the time to eat more of Yuan Zhou’s dishes?

Jack would perform his duties as a host and introduce each dish. Of course, he would only introduce the name of the dish and the name of the maker. As for the rest, Jack expressed that he was willing but unable to do so.

The main thing was that it was definitely a torture to introduce dishes up close. If it wasn’t for his many years of professional ethics reminding him, he would definitely want to try a bite.

No one could care about Jack’s nonsense now. Their eyes were fixed on the big plate that had just been served.

That’s right. As the main course, the size of the plate fully illustrated its status. Of course, the most dazzling part was the chicken that seemed to be flying in the middle of the plate.

With its legs crossed, its claws were in the chicken’s stomach, and its wings were crossed through the neck and out of the mouth. The whole chicken was lying down, golden in color with a tinge of red. From a distance, it looked like a duck floating on the water with feathers in its mouth, but also like a phoenix that could take off at any time. This was the time to lie dormant and wait.

When Yuan Zhou cooked the Phoenix pair, he used the cooking method of the Dezhou braised chicken, which was a classic dish of Shandong cuisine. It could even be said to be the best chicken in the world.

It had been boiled with more than 20 spices, and the rich fragrance reminded people of its existence all the time.

Of course, it was impossible to complete the process without five to six hours of preparation time. However, it was impossible to wait for such a long time or prepare in advance as they were in the competition. Therefore, Yuan Zhou only borrowed some methods of the braised chicken and did not copy them completely. After all, the ingredients themselves were different.

However, this couldn’t cover up the aroma of the chicken itself.
