The gourmet among pirates

This is not so much a dish as a work of art with great ornamental value!

"It's breathtaking. With this superb swordsmanship, coupled with the miraculous mist-forming method just now, the young people today are really amazing!"

After sighing for a moment, one of the older judges picked up the chopsticks without any nonsense.

"Knife skills and creativity, I have nothing to say about this dish, so next, let's try the taste of this 'Goldfish Playing with Lotus'!"

"Please!" Molin made an invitation gesture and stepped aside.

As the first judge spoke first, the other nine people followed suit and began to take out a portion of the goldfish and lotus dish to eat.

"This tastes so fresh!"

One of the judges with eyes looked at Molin in surprise after taking the first bite.

"The specially prepared sauce has a moderately sour and spicy taste, which further highlights the umami taste of the ingredients. Coupled with the starch on the outer layer, the meat tastes crisper and more tender. It is appetizing and also makes the meat more tender. I’m really looking forward to the taste of the next bite. If my guess is correct, the material used for this squid should be dried squid!”

Mo Lin nodded: "You guessed it right! The main ingredient of this dish is squid!"

At this time, another judge who was embarrassed also said: "Very good, the lotus pods used as decoration are smooth and smooth, coupled with the slightly explosive taste of the shrimp ingredients, it is simply unforgettable..."

After the ten judges each commented on the dish, they gathered together to discuss it for a while, and finally a female judge stood up and said: "We have finished tasting the Goldfish and Lotus dish. Here are our thoughts on this dish. Great review!”

Among the ten judges, except for one who gave it a score of seven, five gave it an eight, three gave it a nine, and even one fat judge gave it a perfect score.

After removing the highest score and the lowest score.

Maureen's average score for this dish is eight point three seven five.

Compared with the six or seven points generally given by the judges before, Mo Lin's dish was considered high in their evaluation.

After tasting the first dish, the judges then tasted the remaining two dishes prepared by Maureen.

Truffle protein lobster balls with carved rose foam and ants climbing the tree!

With these creative dishes that have never appeared in this world, as well as his amazing knife skills.

As expected, Morin passed the final six formal rounds and won the right to participate in the finals.

······

The finals and official competition of the Grenada Food Competition are on the same day.

It's just that one is a morning session and the other is an afternoon session.

The rules of the afternoon finals are almost the same as those of the morning finals, except that the requirements are more stringent.

As for the first dish of this final, Mo Lin chose the modified version of Dengying Beef.

The ingredient of Dengying Beef is the piece of beef in the middle of the beef tendon. After several processes of marinating, drying, baking, steaming, deep-frying, and stir-frying, the Dengying Beef is finally completed.

Due to limited competition time, Maureen changed the natural drying process to oven baking.

Each piece of the finished product is only as thick as a girl’s index finger, and each piece is just right.

After the piece of beef as thick as an index finger was prepared, Maureen picked up an extremely sharp kitchen knife and slashed it. Before he could even see the thin piece of beef, he tilted it to one side and cut it for two consecutive times. Fourteen cuts, exactly cut into twenty-five slices. Each slice is the size of a woman's palm. The large piece of beef looks very comfortable.

Picking up the small bottle with the other hand, with a flick of the wrist, the beef slices were evenly sprinkled with sesame oil.

There are clearly some chili peppers on the large pieces of beef, and the sesame oil sprinkled on top makes the beef look even more delicious.

After the beef was cut, Maureen took out a special dinner plate and lit a small red edible candle in the middle of the plate.

Then put twenty-five slices of beef around the candle in the middle and add the sesame oil on them one by one to make a lotus lampshade.

"Thin can be used as a lampshade, light can shine through, and one plate is exactly the same as the lampshade. Please use it slowly with my first creation, 'Lamp Shadow Beef'!"

After putting three delicious dishes on the table, Maureen winked at Ace and asked him to stand in front of the nine judges in his place. He quickly escaped from the sight of the crowd.

Then he got rid of his disguise, put on the clothes he had prepared, squeezed through the crowd, came to the nine judges, and silently joined the judges' table.

With a simple change of clothes, Maureen transformed from a chef into a judge who scores chefs.

······

When this dish of lantern shadow beef was presented, the judges, the chefs and tourists who were watching were all surprised again.

Under the dim candlelight, the texture of the beef was clearly visible, and the dim candlelight really shined through the thin slices of meat, like a yellow light under the dimming sunset.

This kind of knife skills is amazing!

Such hazy beauty even made some judges unable to bear to put down their chopsticks and ruin the beauty.

After a long time, the eldest judge was the first to extend his hand.

Pick up a piece with chopsticks, and you can clearly see the large piece of beef on the chopsticks, which is as thin as a piece of paper, and the peach blossoms are trembling.

Generally speaking, such a thin piece of meat cannot be picked up. Even if it is picked up, it will not be broken, even if it fits together softly, but this is completely different, as if the beef tendons are still there, only slightly bent, and the top of the head is clearly visible. The way the light shines through.

The older judge swallowed the beef with his mouth open and started chewing it.

First, a numbing and spicy breath rushes into the mouth, and instantly there is a feeling of opening pores. A spiciness rushes straight into the throat, but it is not choking. At the same time, the numbing feeling stimulates the tongue coating, and then comes the delicious taste of beef, bringing with it It has a slight chewy texture and is soft and tender. After swallowing it for a few times, there is no feeling of stuffing in the teeth at all.

"Spicy, crispy and fragrant, full of color, flavor and taste. If you have a glass of wine, it will be a perfect match." After swallowing a piece of beef, the older judge immediately said.

Another judge nodded in agreement after tasting it, "You're right, but it's a pity that alcohol numbs our tongues and is not suitable for us to drink now. Otherwise, I would really like to have a drink."

This lamp-shadow beef is not as creative as the previous mist-shaped goldfish playing with lotus.

But the hazy light, shining through the beef, perfectly fits the mood of the setting sun.

The dining environment and atmosphere, to some extent, also affect a person's dining experience, at least this is how the judges next to Molin feel.

After a long time, ten people, including Mo Lin, discussed for a while and each gave their own score.
