Chapter 754
Silence, long silence.Neither Jiang Yang nor Matsuda Shigejiro spoke.

Hagiwara Kenichi looked at the two of them and didn't speak for a while.

After a long time, Matsuda Jujiro asked hoarsely, "Why?"

Jiang Yang knew what he was asking, so he thought for a moment and replied: "Actually, your dishes are top-notch in terms of ingredients and cooking."

"Then why is it still not as good?" Matsuda Jujiro asked again.

Kitajima Sakura on the side couldn't understand the conversation between the two, why?She didn't understand at all.

Kitajima Sakura moved a little closer to Kitagawa Shin, and asked, "Kitakawa-san, what are they talking about?"

Kitagawa Jin was also a little unclear, he looked to his master for help.Hagiwara Kenichi explained: "Jejiro Matsuda has already lost, but he doesn't understand why he lost, and now he is asking Jiang Yang."

Kitajima Sakura was a little shocked and said: "What? Chef Matsuda Shigejiro lost! As expected of Jiang Yang-san, he is indeed very powerful."

After the shock, Kitajima Sakura quickly asked: "Why did Chef Matsuda Shigejiro lose?"

Kenichi Hagiwara didn't know how to answer this question. In fact, Matsuda Shigejiro didn't lose in the taste, but in the emotions contained in the dishes.But he couldn't explain it that way. People who are not in the chef circle would not understand it.

Ordinary people like Kitajima Sakura can hardly tell the difference between the two dishes.It's like two equally delicious dishes, it's hard to tell which one is better.

Bei Chuanjin had an idea, and he said to Bei Dao Sakura: "Miss Bei Dao, after you have eaten two dishes, which dish is more impressive?"

Kitajima Sakura was able to answer this question. "Of course, it is more profound for fish-flavored shredded pork." Kitajima Sakura subconsciously said.

Bei Chuan spread his hands together and said, "Look, you also think fish-flavored shredded pork is better. People will be deeply influenced by the dishes they think are more delicious."

Susumu Kitagawa's explanation is actually not particularly correct, but it is already the best explanation for Sakura Kitajima.She nodded, a bewildered expression on her face.

Hagiwara Kenichi smiled and said nothing, and Kitagawa Susumu's statement cannot be said to be completely wrong.Master-level dishes, the deeper the emotion in them, the more impressive they will be.This is like when a person encounters a particularly sad or happy event, he will feel more deeply about it afterwards.Bei Chuanjin can use this kind of explanation to explain, which shows that his understanding of this aspect is still in place.

Jiang Yang pursed his lips, he actually didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Hagiwara Kenichi suddenly said: "That's because you blindly think about using top-quality ingredients, thus ignoring the essence of bento. Bento is a very warm form of food, and the more advanced the ingredients, the better. On the contrary, the heart that is not contained in the bento is the most important. If you don’t use the bento, but replace it with another form of food expression, it may be better.”

Matsuda Shigejiro stared at Hagiwara Kenichi suddenly, and said with red eyes: "Is it wrong to use top-level ingredients? Isn't a top chef should cook top-level ingredients!"

"There is nothing wrong with cooking top-quality ingredients, but it is wrong to blindly pursue top-quality ingredients while ignoring the meaning of being a chef." Kenichi Hagiwara said firmly.

"The meaning of the existence of the chef itself? What is the meaning of the existence of the chef itself? You tell me!" Matsuda Shigejiro said.

Kenichi Hagiwara took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Du Wenquan once said that the meaning of a chef's existence is to cook unpalatable ingredients into delicious ones, and make delicious ingredients more delicious. As a chef, in his eyes There shouldn’t be only top-quality ingredients, but trying to cook ordinary ingredients into top-notch delicacy, that’s the meaning of a chef’s existence.”

After speaking, Matsuda Shigejiro involuntarily took a few steps back, his expression was a little dazed.

Jiang Yang was a little pleasantly surprised when he heard it. Hagiwara Kenichi's words were exactly what he thought was the way of a chef!

At this moment, Jiang Yang felt that I was not the only one who thought this way, and that he was not alone on the road.

Matsuda Shigejiro remained silent, while the master chef who was with him said, "Cooking depends on the taste. You can't deny that the taste of top-level ingredients is naturally better than ordinary ingredients. There is nothing wrong with cooking top-level ingredients. , and this time, I think the taste of the two chefs' cooking is similar, so it should be considered a tie."

Kenichi Hagiwara was about to say something, but was interrupted by Matsuda Shigejiro: "Okay, don't talk about it, I lost this time. As a culinary master, I, Matsuda Shigejiro, still have the bearing I should have."

"Jojiro!" the man yelled hastily.

It's normal to win and lose in the cooking competition, but this time the competition has a different meaning, which involves whether Matsuda Shigejiro can take the position of president.For this opportunity, they have prepared a lot. If Matsuda Shigejiro admits defeat like this, then they will fall short.More importantly, after admitting defeat this time, Matsuda Jujiro's reputation may plummet, and he will never have such a great appeal in the future.

Out of so many considerations, he didn't care about face and said it was a draw.As long as it is not a loss, it doesn't matter even if it is a draw. This is the worst and best result.

In fact, when he tasted the dishes of the two, he already knew that Matsuda Shigejiro lost. As a chef, he still has the most basic judgment.At the same time, he was also shocked that this young chef from Huaguo had such high cooking skills!
Matsuda Shigejiro shook his head again and said: "If you lose, you lose. No need to talk about it, let's go."

After speaking, Matsuda Shigejiro left here with a group of stunned disciples. Until the moment he left, his disciples still couldn't believe that the master who was so powerful in his own eyes lost just like this!For some reason, those words that were thought up in advance were like slaps one by one, causing some burning pain on their faces.

Matsuda Shigejiro left, a little embarrassed and decadent.

Hagiwara Kenichi turned around and said to Jiang Yang, "Thank you this time."

Facing Kenichi Hagiwara's thanks, Jiang Yang was at a loss.

Hagiwara Kenichi smiled and didn't explain anything.

Kitajima Sakura bounced forward, pulled Jiang Yang and exclaimed: "Jiang Yang-san, you are so good, this is one of the most powerful chefs in Japan, and you have defeated them."

Jiang Yang had a headache. This Kitajima Sakura's actions were a little too intimate. Jiang Yang smiled shyly and pulled his hands away without a trace.

"Chef Hagiwara, can I sit in the room for a while?" Jiang Yang asked.

Hagiwara Kenichi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Of course, Chef Jiangyang can do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't break things."

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "I will be careful."

Kenichi Hagiwara smiled, and took Kitajima Sakura and Kitagawa Jin to rest on the benches in the yard, without disturbing Jiang Yang who went into the house.

During this competition, Jiang Yang had a lot of inspirations in his mind. Sure enough, a chef can't stay in one place all the time. Only by walking around more and communicating with different chefs can he gain new gains.

The reason why he came into the room was because he had too many inspirations, and he wanted to come in and settle down quietly, to see if he could catch something.
