Gourmet and actor

In fact, there are no thorns left in this dish of shrimp oil and shredded fish. The most amazing thing is the appearance.

The person who was in charge of taking pictures just now was only concerned with guessing the taste and didn't pay attention to the details.But Darcy could tell at a glance that the fish shreds in the white dish were crystal clear and as thick as bean sprouts, and the texture was very natural. like down.

However, although there are only five or six mouthfuls of dishes on the plate, there are at least three or four hundred pieces of shredded pork.Considering that the Chinese team spent a lot of time on stringing fish scales, the time is definitely not enough if it is done purely by hand.But besides this method, is there any other way to treat the shredded fish so naturally?

The well-informed Darcy couldn't figure out how to do it for a while, and when he was distracted to speculate, he inevitably made a slip of the tongue, and the question he asked was not on the point at all.

The foreign judge who was misunderstood because of his tone of voice had the intention to make up for his previous mistakes. Seeing that the host missed the question, he quickly added: "Mr. Xiao, I am very curious about how you deal with shredded fish? The method of freezing the fish first and then shredding it should be in a flat shape, and it will never be the amazing effect it is now."

His Chinese is as blunt as Mimura Sora's, and some words are not expressive.But the audience who couldn't see the dishes clearly still guessed from his expression, understood what he meant, and couldn't help but hold their breath, waiting for Xiao Ke to explain what trick he used.

After receiving the wooden steaming lid from Zhou Fu, Xiao Ke showed it and said with a smile: "It is still better to use a steamer. The catfish itself has no spines. Just fix the big bones on the wooden lid and steam the fish until a certain heat It will fall off automatically. At that time, the long thorns will be removed, and the meat will be processed along the texture."

For the sake of the future business of Yushan Palace, Xiao Ke, who is already very copyright-conscious, intentionally omitted an important processing step: before fixing the whole fish, smear the lid of the pot with alkaline water and olive juice respectively.Otherwise, the fish meat that falls off will be scattered and out of shape.

Still, even if he conceals this step, the rest are amazing enough.After listening to his explanation, several judges and the audience in the audience immediately expressed admiration.

This method is unheard of.Although it seems simple to put it bluntly, to think of this, I don't know how many brain cells it takes, and how many times it is repeated, the hard work is self-evident.It seems that Xiao Ke has such good cooking skills at a young age. Apart from talent, he is more diligent.Like his acting career, he worked hard step by step.

Realizing this, the audience started applauding unanimously, which was much more enthusiastic than when the three teams presented their dishes.This inevitably made them a little frustrated, but they still applauded gracefully.

Applause erupted from front to back, but Mimura Rin remained motionless.Even if he was gently pushed by his brother, it was still as if he hadn't heard of it.

But at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the Chinese team, and no one noticed his frustration at all.

Darcy admired a few words, picked up the spoon together with other judges, and began to taste.

Catfish is also a Chinese specialty. The judges present have tasted it before, and the delicious taste is still fresh in their memories.I can't wait to try it now, and see what kind of taste Xiao Ke makes it.At the same time, they all secretly decided: with shad fat beef pearls in front, this dish of shredded fish can be appropriately relaxed in the evaluation requirements, and it doesn't have to be so harsh.

But when the shredded fish entered the mouth, they immediately began to regret: they should have realized that with Xiao Ke's craftsmanship, there is no need to deliberately release water.The time spent thinking about things is simply wasted, and it is serious to taste them early.

Compared with ordinary catfish, the taste of Xiao Ke's fish is extra mellow, as thick as cream, as delicate as silk, and when rolled by the tip of the tongue, it immediately melts into a mouth full of sweetness and freshness.Taste it carefully, in addition to the aroma of the ingredients themselves, it also contains a bit of saltiness unique to seafood.If there is nothing, but it does not appear fishy, ​​but makes the original plump and sweet fragrance more obvious, which can be called the finishing touch.The combination of the two can't help but make people sigh. Seafood and seafood need this taste to be fresh enough.

After tasting for a long time, a Chinese judge asked curiously: "Mr. Xiao, I have also made this catfish, but it is not so fresh after steaming. Did you use broth specifically? Or, like other teams, The ingredients you used today are also specially designated and airlifted from the place of origin?"

He does not mean that.Mimura Rin, who was originally expressionless, immediately clenched his fists under the table angrily when he heard this, thinking that although the judges did not name names, they were actually mocking themselves.Because, among the ten teams participating this time, only they have special requirements for the ingredients, and the other players just give up their names.

Mimura Sora wanted to explain that this did not violate the rules of the competition, but he was afraid of making a fuss out of a molehill, so he hesitated again and again, and chose to give up.But the way he looked at Xiao Ke was like that of a younger brother, apart from alertness, there was also a bit of unknowing resentment.

"I didn't use broth." Xiao Ke didn't notice the subtle changes of the Yucun brothers, and said to the judges: "Catfish itself is fat enough, if you use meat soup, it will inevitably lose fat, so I only added a few to the soup. Plant mushrooms to enhance freshness."

I see.The judges couldn't help but nod their heads, and the audience also secretly memorized the secret recipe, planning to do the same when making steamed catfish in the future.Even if it doesn't reach Boss Xiao's level, it can still make the home-cooked food more delicious.

After the tasting, several judges began to write evaluation books and score.The organizer prepared a piece of A3 cardboard with the competition logo printed on the front and folded in half, and each team used one.Ordinarily, there is enough space, and when writing comments for the Japanese team before, the judge who wrote the most only used up one page.

But when evaluating Xiao Ke's dishes, the five judges all wrote a big book, one page is the starting price, and they are basically more than one and a half pages.A judge from France was even more exaggerated. When describing the aroma of shad beef, he even quoted the poems of Hugo, a famous writer in his country, and wrote three pages full of intoxication before giving up.

The Chinese team has been judged, and now only the Indian team remains.Darcy was about to urge her, but she heard from their translator that she chose to give up because of the delay.

Seeing the extremely distressed expressions of the members of this team, Darcy couldn't help asking why.It was only then that they realized that they had almost finished cooking, but because they were greedy for Xiao Ke's beef just now, the special roasted meat in the pit was accidentally overheated and burnt.

Seeing the charred food in the sealed oven, Dalsey shrugged regretfully and sympathetically, comforted them a few words, then handed over all the evaluation books to the staff and began to count the scores.

The number of participating teams has changed from ten to nine. It seems that the winning rate has increased, but other teams are not happy.Everyone is aware that the Chinese team, which has appeared as an accompanying guest most of the time in the past, will become the biggest dark horse in this competition.Fortunately, there are five places, as long as you win the second to No.5.

Compared with other people, Mimura Rin's mood is much more complicated.Originally, the goal he set for himself was the top three. Even if Xiao Ke is strong, he is confident that he will not be eliminated.However, what he couldn't stand the most was being overwhelmed by Xiao Ke.That not only turned his previous contempt and disdain into a joke, even the hidden hostility was beyond his control!

If——his lips moved slightly, and he silently said a word in his mother tongue.

Just at this time, the scoring results came out.Unsurprisingly, the Chinese team won No.1 with an absolute advantage, and the runner-up was the Japanese team.After half a year, they will go to Lyon with the other three teams and compete again.

After Dalsey announced the results, the audience erupted.

When the staff set up the awards platform, Xiao Ke and Zhou Fu stood at the highest point with bright smiles, put on the medals, and received the check for the 8000 euro bonus, the audience applauded thunderously, spotlights and cheers Through the audience.Xiao Huiguang stood next to Father Han, his face flushed with excitement, and he didn't feel uncomfortable when his hands were swollen.

The other teams that successfully advanced also smiled happily, optimistic that they still have a chance in the final, and hugged and congratulated each other with smiles on their faces.

In contrast, the expressionless runner-up group seemed extremely out of place.But because the Mimura brothers basically have serious expressions today, the audience thought they had this kind of personality, which was not surprising.

After receiving the medal and the check plate, and shaking hands with Darcy, Mimura Rin restrained the urge to tear off the ribbon and throw it far away, and couldn't help saying the words that he didn't speak just now: "It would be good if there was no such person as Xiao Ke." gone."

But the scene was too noisy, and no one else heard it except the worried Mimura Sora.

Because Mimura Rin had been under too much pressure in the past, the food tasted very bad, and it took a long time to adjust.Mimura Sora didn't dare to be careless. After the game, he declined the reporter's interview, and immediately took his brother back to the hotel, intending to enlighten him.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the room, Mimura Rin, who had been silent all the time, spoke first: "I know what you want to say, but I really can't forget that person, so... I can't let go of it even more."

Hearing this, Mimura Sora didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

After deliberating for a while, he lit a cigarette, threw the lighter to his younger brother, and said, "It's been a long time, why do you still care so much? As you said, that person is used to commenting on the restaurants he has tasted. Just a few compliments, no big deal."

Rin Mimura took the lighter, but threw the cigarette back to the table instead, and only pressed the button once, watching the jumping flame.

"You don't understand, brother, you haven't experienced the pain of being expected by the whole family, but still making no progress... Even though you were all enlightening me at the time, I couldn't help but think that everyone comforted me out of good intentions, right? The real me is actually useless, right? Lin Jun was the first person to praise me when I went to China to relax. It was his encouragement that gave me courage again. You can’t understand at all. How happy he is to see him. Although, from the reviews I searched, he doesn't like my sushi anymore."
