What character did you drop

◎The perfumer's management is too wide! ◎

Want to whip up a plate of the best curry spices?

Isn't the perfumer just in charge of the fragrance?Why do you have to touch even food?

Besides, under such a proposition, shouldn't we consider the position of the perfumer who mainly uses essential oils as materials for fragrance?

"A perfumer who uses face powder doesn't mean he knows how to cook!"

The perfumers of the S City Perfumers' Guild expressed that they were unwilling to pay for this topic.

Even at the scene of the perfumer competition, many perfumers protested and felt that this was too cheating.

They know that grand competitions are difficult, and they like to make things difficult for the perfumers. They just used to make jasmine scented tea and forget about it. Why do they just serve curry now?

"Quiet!"

After all, the Perfumer Contest was held in China in reincarnation, and the questions drawn were always wrong for the landlord country, and the people in charge felt very depressed...

They even thought that it must be because of the bad news caused by An's family chattering outside. Otherwise, there were no problems in every event held by City S before, but this year was particularly troublesome.

"All questions are drawn with artificial intelligence and three-party publicity. There is no favoritism or cheating. I hope you will also remember that there are several times when we encountered our Huaxia questions in foreign competitions, and they did not complain."

Gu Songxiang stood up at this time, looked around the contestants with an extremely calm demeanor, and said to them seriously:

"Earliest incense is used in medicine and diet, both in the East and the West. You must have studied topics and papers in this area when you were studying fragrance. May I ask what objections do you have to topics like curry seasoning?"

"I think back when I was apprenticed to a teacher, I still needed to learn how to make wine and compose music, chop firewood and go to mines to hone my body and mind... In comparison, you are indeed living a much happier life than we were back then. I hope you can have a good time." cherish."

Everyone still remembers Master Gu's family history relatively clearly, and the other party did not lie.

Everyone knows how difficult it is for old man Yunqi to enter... The old man suffered a serious setback and lived abroad for a long time because of the need for recuperation. , do your best.

──Master Gu Songxiang alone has made countless contributions to Huaxia on various important international occasions and foreign exchange, and has made great contributions.

Since the other party came out of such hard work back then, and it has been heard that they are still considered a teacher, presumably they, these little carrots, have no right to complain.

Opportunities only come to those who are ready.

As for the guy who only expects good luck from God, he doesn't deserve to be kissed by the goddess of fate.

"Knowing that what the old man said makes sense, why don't you hurry up and do it?"

In fact, Gu Songxiang also knew that he was a bit harsh on the Huaxia players.However, there are not only Huaxia contestants on the scene, everyone has equal opportunities.

"There are three hours of game time, don't be afraid of making mistakes. If you are afraid of making mistakes, why don't you just walk out of the game and come back to get in the way?"

Above the head was the junior brother who was firing artillery, and Song Yunze and Song Yanzhi had already started to make preparations.

When he was studying under the old man Yunqi, Song Yunze even learned to taste leather, graphite, saltpeter, mica and other strange things.

At that time, the old man was very strict with some of their disciples who were born in China. Some foreign brothers and sisters even wanted to call the police for a while, thinking that if this continues, they will die sooner or later.

But it has to be said that after passing those hurdles, Song Yunze knew that the old man's love for the country is never spoken, but expressed through practical actions.

Perfume permeates every aspect of life.

Therefore, it is the most inadvisable to be stuck in the stereotypes. We must expand our vision as much as possible, even smoked wine, how to make smoked sausage, smoked fish and smoked chicken...even to make cocktails, or to penetrate into woven fabrics Making finished products are courses.

Even if old man Yunqi is not good at some weird topics, he will use his unpredictable contacts to find teachers for Song Yunze and the others, and come to teach weird knowledge.

So much so that someone once joked that although Song Yunze and others were not from everyone and graduated from private prestigious schools, all their teachers are basically the top scholars in the world.

"Tsk, now is not the time to think about these things."

Song Yunze took a deep breath, then shook his head, and looked at the speechless topic again.

Curry is almost a broad proposition, from the rotten country, from Asan, from Japan, from the United States, from China...

When a food gradually expands and communicates to every corner through history and technology, it will naturally take root and germinate, and radiate a local flavor through the integration of water and soil.

There was once a comic that compared topics like curry in the gourmet section, but others are even more concerned with the topic of curry itself.

How can it be like them, who say they compare and compare, even a narrow range is stingy to give, and even the person in charge of judging has not been disclosed, intending to make Song Yunze and others gamble based on their intuition.

"I think, even if this is a question about gringos, since the rotation is back to China, we should take into account the taste of China, right?"

Song Yanzhi has never experienced such a devilish experience as Song Yunze, but he has an advantage, that is, he likes to try, and the more novelty he likes, the more he likes it.

The Song family is rich, and they don't need him to inherit the family business. Previously, Song Yanzhi once traveled around the world accompanied by a professional person in order to gain a deeper understanding of incense and broaden his mind and horizons.

"There are indeed many things that need to be taken into account in perfumery, but not in diet."

Song Yanzhi didn't seem to worry about whether he would create a stronger opponent for him by doing this.

In front of many people's strange expressions and staring eyes, Song Yanzhi actually shared his personal experience with Song Yunze at this time.

──Even if a lot of people came over quietly, looking like they wanted to get some inspiration and answers, Song Yanzhi didn't seem to care.

"Well, but I think, since it's winter, maybe we can also start with this part."

Song Yunze also provided a lot of his own ideas in the discussion, then nodded, told Song Yanzhi that he had some direction, and then left.

However, Song Yunze didn't go back to his seat, thinking and imagining the application of the formula like in the previous fragrance competitions.

【Oh, did Song Yunze actually decide to start mixing fragrances this time? 】

[How bold and fearless? 】

[In a field that I am completely unfamiliar with, take decisive and direct experimental actions...]

Because it is a grand competition, the span of each question is too large, so the Yao Xiangshi competition decisively assigned a special host, hoping that the audience would not feel confused.

Fortunately, there was a host, and one of them was dedicated to stir up the atmosphere. Seeing that everyone was still not letting go of their actions at the beginning, they hurriedly introduced a few important guessers who were relatively high-ranking.

[Huaxia player Song Yunze is said to have just recognized An Jia, but judging from the recent game interactions, his relationship with An Jia is very ordinary. 】

[I don't know if Song Yunze can win the medal at the end of the competition, will An Jia regret it? 】

"Isn't it good for the host to say that?"

The reporter remembered the previous competition, so it was strictly forbidden for the host to write about the personal situation of the contestants' homes, thinking that this would interfere with the performance of the contestants.

It is very important to keep the atmosphere of the game from being blank, but shouldn't it be more lively and humorous to explain the content of the game?

"Of course it's not good, but it's okay to mention a word or two once in a while."

The apprentice perfumer quietly noticed the extremely ugly expression on the master's face, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only cough dryly and say:

"Don't worry, that host will be replaced soon."

Whether the students under the old man Yunqi's school are foreigners or Chinese, the biggest feature is that they are very, very united.

Therefore, Song Yunze was being bullied, and Gu Songxiang, who was protecting his shortcomings, could never turn a blind eye...

What's more, maybe the master is watching the live broadcast. If the master thinks that he is deliberately making things difficult for the little senior brother, maybe a aggressive senior brother and sister will appear in front of Gu Songxiang tomorrow and beat him up!

The seasoning of curry is very complicated, but it is a bit simple to say.

Each family even has its own unique taste, but unfortunately this time the only requirement for the mention is the blending of spices, so everyone must also consider cooking with a unified method. Will those undisclosed ingredients conflict with the flavoring results?

Safety and compatibility may become the biggest constraint on this issue.

Common spices are turmeric, cardamom, fennel, cinnamon, cumin, chilli, bay leaf, saffron, star anise, nigella...

Sometimes in order to adjust the thickness and thickness of the taste, some people even mix Indian black beans, chickpeas and flour.

Most of Huaxia's methods are to buy curry powder that is prepared in large quantities by direct machines on the market and directly fry flour and butter to make it boiled, adding fresh apples, potatoes, and occasionally tomatoes, celery, etc.

This is also a very inclusive dish at the same time. The focus is on whether it can perfectly balance all the flavors in the pot, so that people will not be smoky and spicy after eating, and they can have endless aftertaste, replacing the deliciousness in memory. .

"Well, adjust the basic version first, and then decide how to add it."

Song Yunze believes that since their contestants dare to ask such a question, they must be aware of it. This also implies that they hope that the contestants can develop some known edible spices into curry.

However, the taste cannot be known simply by calculating the formula. There are too many subjective and non-subjective factors involved in it. I am afraid that even a chef may not be able to give the correct answer.

"...Mom, it feels like when we discussed cases in the past, they were not as difficult as them."

After Lu Zhi contacted Lu Xingzhi, he put pressure on the person in charge of the meeting, and then made an appointment with Mrs. An, and then simply watched the live broadcast of the game.

At this time, the host has been changed for a round, and a professional perfumer with a more lively personality is left as a narrator to explain the current progress of the players.

"...We have seen here, pure Indian curry, and curry that has been carefully matched with the world trend, even with the same proportion of spices, just whether the spices should be ground and to what extent , What kind of broth or oil is added to stir-fry, the taste will be different.”

"There are a total of [-] contestants at the scene. To be honest, I have an appetite just looking at it, and I really want to hurry down and taste what they have prepared."

"Presumably according to the tricky temper of these perfumers, the master in charge of cooking probably has a strong background, but how powerful it will be and what kind of cooking habits it has, it's hard to say."

Some spices have strong reactions, or because they have special nutrients that need to be protected from light, so special attention must be paid when picking them.

The contestants around Song Yunze seemed to be because of this, and even raised their hands to ask for a specific coffee bean. The size of the ground beans directly indicated the brand of the grinder and the designated time.

"It was once said that the best perfumers and chefs are at the dinner table at home. In the past, I never believed it. I even thought it was a joke."

The host has his own rhythm in the explanation of the game, but presumably he still does not have enough experience, so he talked a lot about life and cooking.

But for the sake of the audience's love, the perfumer contest did not replace the host in the end, and even allowed him to continue speaking.

"After I got married and had children, and learned how to cook with my father-in-law, I realized that those words were actually spoken by a genius."

The host sounded very excited, and he never seemed to shy away from the story about his past. He smiled and said to everyone:

"My personal trajectory of perfumery is quite special. I entered the industry early, but became famous very, very late...about two years after I got married."

The face of the host looked like he was in his late [-]s and [-]s. Everyone still remembered that he loved his wife and daughter very much, but he got married late, and his daughter is only about seven years old now.

"Well, I remember that when you became famous, Bai Lang, you were almost forty. When you sat in the audience and accepted everyone's applause as the champion of that Xiangdao Competition, you were about to cry."

The other host laughed, there was no discriminatory meaning in his voice, only deep emotion.

"I don't know how many perfumers of your class are still working."

"But then again, so what you're going to talk about, shouldn't it be the time when you started to understand perfume, right after marriage?"

The last host was obviously much smarter, and said positively beside him:

"I really admire you. I think I might not have the thick skin and patience to persevere."

"The principles of flavoring and cooking are roughly the same. They all focus on the senses of color, aroma, smell, touch and taste. When my father-in-law told me, I didn't believe it..."

The host who first brought up this topic had a shy smile on his face, but it is not difficult to see that he is grateful for the wind and rain that year.

"Father-in-law is a serious little old man. I still remember being criticized for being a glass doll because I couldn't smell fish."

"The two of us collaborated for the first time because my wife suffered from severe pregnancy sickness, so one of us studied food and the other studied fragrance..."

"In the end, I feel that it is necessary to burn or use some essential oils for perfumery. It is inevitable that it may cause harm to the human body, so the final choice is to use food."

"Many seasonings are spices for cooking. I didn't have much awareness of this at the beginning, but my father-in-law led me to get started, and I didn't feel disgusted."

"It's also TOEFL. After my wife gave birth, I not only got an extra degree, but also successfully became a teacher on the road of perfumery and developed my own style. I also completely recovered from some of the physical problems that my wife suffered from when she was young. .”

Looking at the contestants who are worrying or trying to blend fragrance, the host of the perfumer said with a smile:

"Through my story, I hope to tell you that it's never too late to start catching up."

"The most important thing is, have you always been clear about the direction of the fragrance you want to blend?"

"Also, what do you want the fragrance you concocted to be used for, and what do you hope everyone can do with the fragrance you concocted?"

The perfumer believes that several specific contestants in the audience have already realized this point, so many of them, like Song Yunze, quickly started to make the base modulation, and tasted the results of each stage through their sensitive five senses.

Some people add black tea powder, some add a little bit of agarwood powder, and some even add dried tangerine peel... The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their own magical powers, perhaps sometimes mixing fragrance is the same as doing experiments.

──If you add a little more of this thing and put a little less of that thing, there will be some changes in the result.

──But until the last moment, you may never know what kind of smell this handful of spices will eventually return to brown or yellow.

thunder?Or Tiancai?

The test is probably also the training and experience accumulated by the perfumers at every stage of perfumery.

'Ding ding ding ding ding! '

Three hours passed in a flash, and many perfumers hadn't even recovered their senses before the whole competition was over.

In addition, the curry powder prepared by oneself must be sealed in an airtight box, labeled and signed by the staff, and sent to another place. According to whether the perfumer wants to ripen it or other actions, then start cooking.

"...I finally understood why no one from the Song family was willing to come out to participate in the competition, because it was really tiring and frustrating."

Song Yanzhi slumped on the chair directly, and a lot of brainstorming must have been a great test and torture for him.

Even the village where the Song family is located likes to cook, and almost every man and woman is a glutton and a master at cooking.

──However, like curry powder, the second half of the assessment will be completed by someone he is not familiar with, which is extremely insecure for Song Yanzhi.

"I never imagined that so many games would drive people crazy."

Song Yunze thought about his previous novels, and almost always deliberately made the competition the climax of the plot, slapping the face, suing, showing off wealth, and being handsome were all at this time.

However, writing and personal experience are simply two extremes. When you write again in the future, you must not do this, it will kill you.

"It doesn't matter. There are only five parts in the Grand Ceremony, and it's good to finish it with your eyes closed... I want to open it up. As long as we don't want us to go up the mountain to hunt a boar and come back, I will be fine."

The other contestants next to him may think that Song Yanzhi and Song Yunze are easy to talk to, and they haven't put on a face to others, so when they hear their complaints again, they can't help but follow suit.

Fortunately, the perfumer competition really carefully considered the situations and possibilities of various competitions, so within an hour, everyone has already smelled various versions of curry aroma.

Some are successful, while others can't help but frown and feel that something is wrong... Even, I can't help but wonder if the pot of curry is still edible.

"Before I thought, since everyone has asked to make edible curry, the works that everyone submits should not be poisonous..."

Gu Songxiang held the inspection sheet in his hand, looked around at the perfumers with different expressions below, and supported his forehead with one hand, feeling a little pain.

"The ones that are fragrant in medicinal properties are eliminated directly, the ones that are poisonous are eliminated, and those who try to kill people with the fragrance of cooking are also eliminated."

"Although I did say that the limit of perfumery lies in the upper limit of your imagination, but it seems that you didn't operate it like this."

Of the sixty contestants, nearly half were directly eliminated on safety issues.

In this way, in the future education in the fragrance manual, it is necessary to further divide the safety issues related to consumption.

"Next, we will invite two very special judges for this competition. One is the international chef of Baden who uses the same process to cook curry powder for everyone."

"The other one is Mr. Matsuma, a curry food critic who has been focusing on the curry field for more than 30 years."

The resumes and materials of the two experts were projected together to let everyone know that even if this is just a perfumer competition, the organizers are doing it very seriously, and whoever judges which part will be judged, and there will be no laymen Dominate the situation of the insider.

However, Song Yunze felt that when these two experts were invited to participate in the perfumer competition, they must have been very confused, right?

But no matter what, since we have reached this point, the game will continue to go on, and we will reach the finish line all the way to decide the winner.

"Ambon, tell mom first, what's the matter with your perfume?"

On the other side of S City, Chen Zhimeng, who was not as innocent as her husband on the surface, came to An Wen's room with a serious face after the Chen family was shut down, locked the door behind her, and asked in a stern tone in a low voice.

An Yuexi has confidence in An Wen, but Chen Zhimeng, as the person who cultivated more diligently, knows that An Wen's talent and hard work are not enough.

How should I behave to the outside world Chen Zhimeng will naturally not be lenient or polite.But regarding the cheating on the fake fragrance in Anwen, at most Chen Zhimeng had the feeling that the pair of shoes he was holding in his heart had finally landed, and he was not very disappointed.

"Even you don't believe me?"

An Wen was irritable enough because he couldn't get in touch with the Daxiang Master system, but he never thought that Chen Zhimeng would add trouble at this time.

"Don't worry, I've sent a message to Brother Xingzhi...Even if he doesn't want to get married, he can't ignore my reputation."

"Besides, I will inherit this Anjia. Mom, isn't it for this purpose that you work so hard? How can you not believe in my efforts?"

Yep, Ambon is looking pretty open right now.

He even has Gu Songxiang and Shizu two hole cards.

Even though Song Yunze showed that he had a profound relationship with these two, compared to himself, a disciple with deeper feelings, it was very clear which side he wanted to help?
