[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show
Chapter 131 Hell's Kitchen
"Do you know what the reward is this time?" Gordon asked with a smile after the female contestants calmed down a little.
"What is it?" The female contestants asked excitedly and curiously - the rewards provided by Hell's Kitchen will definitely not be bad!No matter what the reward is, it must be better than they imagined!Everyone is very confident in the richness of the chef and the show crew.
"This time, you will be on the nearby pier, boarding..." Gordon said here, the female contestants have desperately pressed their hands on their hearts, and couldn't help holding their breath. It won't be..."This ship Luxurious cruise ship!"
As the chef waved his arms backwards, the female contestants couldn't help following them, and then saw the huge cruise ship slowly approaching from the far sea!
"Oh my god!" The contestants present had almost never boarded a luxury cruise ship of this level, which was beyond their imagination.At this time, when they really saw the cruise ship reappearing like the Titanic, they almost screamed!
"That's right." Gordon nodded affirmatively to the unbelievable female contestants, "You will spend the next day on this big cruise ship and enjoy your lunch and dinner at the top restaurants there! Of course, there are other swimming pools, gyms, spa services, etc., which you can all enjoy too!"
"Wow!" "This is great!" The female contestants jumped up happily!
"As for you, my men." Gordon turned his head to look at the male players, and the relaxed smile he had when communicating with the women's team immediately receded from his face, replaced by a face that instantly pulled down— —The hairs of the male contestants stood on end, "You are going to spend a very painful day in Hell's Kitchen. After yesterday's dinner service, the unwashed pots and dishes piled up in the back kitchen are your cleaning today. mission."
"Oh! [beep]!" The male contestants immediately groaned in pain—they like their chefs' work, but cooking and washing dishes are definitely two different things!Most chefs don't really like washing vegetables and dishes. This is the job of kitchen workers, not their job!
"And..." Gordon hadn't finished speaking, and the bad premonition in the male players' hearts became more and more intense, "You have to clean up the kitchens of the two teams, yes, I'm talking about general cleaning .This is your punishment this time."
"Damn it!" The male contestants really couldn't help cursing, of course, not cursing the chef, they didn't have the courage, but cursing this punishment that made them extremely uncomfortable.If there's anything more painful than washing greasy dishes, it's cleaning a greasy kitchen after dinner!Thinking of the mess in the kitchen, every male contestant couldn't help but stare blankly—if they could, they would rather do what the women's team did the night before, peeling shrimp all night, and making mashed potatoes all night!
"Okay, men." Gordon smiled happily at the men, "Get in the car, you can go back to work in no time! Work hard and don't be lazy!"
"Yes, chef." The male contestants nodded to the chef slumpedly, looked at the gloating eyes of the female contestants above, and couldn't help but stare back viciously - next time, next time they will definitely do it again win back!
"Goodbye, gentlemen." The female contestants waved to them with a smile, and the happy smiles on their faces did not restrain at all—many of them had forgotten the unwillingness and unhappiness they felt when the male contestants went out to play. .This is also the normal state of the players, and of course the winner has the qualifications to show off to his heart's content.Not even Yili would stop her teammates, just smile with folded arms.
"Good job, Leah." Denisa bumped Yili's shoulder with her shoulder and said softly to her.
"You too." Yi Li also smiled at her.
Soon, under the envious eyes of the men, the female contestants happily got on the traffic car of the program group, came to the nearby pier, and boarded the huge cruise ship that seemed like a dream to them !
"Wow!" Looking at the waiters who were in uniform and lined up in two rows on the side of the boat to greet them, the female contestants couldn't help blushing, and looked at their teammates with excitement and joy, their eyes unconsciously Looking around on the hull of the cruise ship and the waiters—they have never enjoyed this kind of treatment!Bathed in the curious eyes of other guests who are either rich or expensive, the female contestants suddenly had the illusion that they had transformed themselves into masters!
"Please allow me to take you to our best restaurant." A young brunette with the appearance of a foreman said to them - under the camera's follow-up, it is most normal for a foreman to specially receive them.
"Oh, of course." The female contestants nodded quickly, followed each other's pace, and walked to the top-notch restaurant that was extremely luxurious to them.
The head waiter quickly delivered the menu so they could order.
After a whole morning of competition, going into the sea, running, and nervously preparing the high-quality dishes requested by the chef, the female contestants have long felt hungry, but under the tense mood, this hunger seems to be It's less obvious.Of course, after the game, the feeling came back violently, and the female players even felt that their stomachs were slowly burning.
"I'd like a cream of corn and clam soup, a escargot gratin, and..."
"I'd like a sea bass salad in red wine, lamb tenderloin with burgundy foie gras, and..."
"..."
The female contestants flicked through the recipes, ordering the dishes they wanted one by one, and the restaurant also provided them with a good bottle of red wine to accompany their meals—the program crew would not be so bold as to allow them to enjoy high-end vacation treatment When it's time, I'll order a priceless red wine for them.But even so, the female players are already very satisfied with this level of enjoyment!
"God, I can't believe that we are on such a luxury cruise ship!" Meg was so excited that she was a little nervous, and she almost looked at the guests and decorations around her carefully.
"Please, don't be so embarrassing, okay?" Renee couldn't see Meg's philistine behavior, and rolled her eyes to the sky, but she didn't have too much sarcasm—this level of words is definitely not ironic to Renee.At the moment of winning the competition, she was pleasing to see a fool like Meg, and even she was willing to condescend to admit the fact that Leah's level was good.
"Okay, okay, I finally got out of Hell's Kitchen, so don't quarrel." Julie came out to smooth things over.
"Hmm." Renee shrugged, but didn't say much.She is in a good mood and doesn't care about each other.
Before the dishes were served, the young brunette head waiter Adonis, who had the same name as the beautiful boy in Greek mythology, brought them red wine and specially refrigerated wine glasses, and the slightly cold goblets were placed in front of them one by one by the head waiter .
Just like in western restaurants, hot dishes are usually served on hot plates to prevent them from losing their flavor when they get cold, these chilled red wines should also be served in low-temperature glasses, otherwise, once the temperature from the bottle to the glass changes , the red wine that should have the best taste at a certain temperature will also be affected, thus losing the most wonderful taste.
Adonis quickly opened the wine bottle with a butterfly corkscrew, poured the ruby-colored wine into the cups of the female contestants one by one, and then said softly, "Please use slowly", before leaving up the dining table.
"Why don't you have a drink?" Yili raised her glass and smiled at her teammates, "For our victory this time!"
"Of course, cheers!" Others also raised their glasses and bumped into her—even Renee, who didn't get along with Yili the most, would not sing against her at this time.Teamwork has a timeless rule, as long as you win, you can ignore all disputes and eliminate all dissatisfaction.
"Cheers, also for Leah." Julie added with a smile.
"Yes, also for Leah!" The female contestants who have a good relationship with Yili also responded one after another. Renee and the others frowned, but said nothing.After all, they didn't make any contribution in this round of competition.Denisa and Erin contributed two points, Julie contributed one (with the help of Leah), and Leah alone contributed three.
Those who are qualified to speak have no objections, and of course they won't be ignorant at this time - Renee has a sharp personality and loves to pick things up, and occasionally gets confused about major issues, but when the situation is clear, she also I won't scold myself.
The drinks provided by the restaurant are not the highest-grade red wines produced by top wineries, but table wines produced in excellent regions, which are better than everyday table wines, but still far from the highest quality.However, these contestants may not be able to taste this difference. Anyway, it is already a very good red wine, which is enough to accompany meals.
"Ladies." While waiting for the meal, Gordon suddenly pushed open the glass door of the restaurant and walked in towards them.
"Oh, chef!" The female contestants looked at him in surprise—this is the chef's repertoire. He usually dines with the contestants who won the challenge. In the middle, he would talk about his experience as a chef with the winning team. , if the player raises some professional problems, he will not hesitate to give pointers.
For conscious winners, the biggest reward for winning the challenge is not these perhaps unprecedented enjoyments, but the valuable experience from the chef!Think about it, as long as you have a good job and can save money, you can afford to eat at top-notch restaurants, but the chance to communicate face-to-face with Michelin three-star chefs is probably only in this program!
Gordon quickly sat down at the table of the female contestants, ordered the dishes to the waiter who handed over the menu, and then asked them, "This is the first time you have won the challenge, how do you feel? "
"Excellent!" "It couldn't be better!" The female contestants replied one after another.
"Some of you did really well." Gordon nodded at them, looking at Eli especially, "Especially you, Leah. I'm amazed at your level and your judgment, okay that surprise."
"Thank you, chef." Yili smiled at the chef.
"Let's talk casually before serving the food." After the chef confirmed Yili, he brought the topic back to the main topic, "Are we talking about red wine, or fish, or meat?"
"Please, don't be fish! Scallops are terrible enough in the morning!" someone said.
"Hahahahaha." Gordon not only didn't get angry, but laughed - he is very easy-going outside of Hell's Kitchen, he is very gentle and considerate to his wife and children, he is not only a good husband, but also a good father. The grumpiness displayed is quite different.Perhaps, this contrast is also the reason why people are interested in him.
"Then let's talk about the meat." Gordon picked up the wine glass, tasted the red wine in the glass, and realized that this is not a very good drink, so he quickly crossed out the idea of talking about wine in his mind, and turned to the wine. Speaking of meat meal, which is also very important, "What do you think is the most important thing when it comes to eating meat?"
"The type of meat?" Beef, mutton, and pork obviously have different tastes, and beef has the most audience.Think about it, the classification of pork and mutton is very simple, but it is tenderloin, ribs, etc., but the classification of beef is very detailed.
"The part of the meat?" Filet, rib eye, sirloin, etc., different parts of beef have different names, not to mention the taste and texture.And steaks in different locations have different prices, which is the most intuitive difference.
"The degree of maturity of the meat?" There is a big difference in the taste of three-ripe, five-ripe, seven-ripe, and fully cooked.
"..."
The female contestants put forward various opinions. These opinions are not wrong. After all, everyone’s tastes are slightly different, and their tastes may not be similar to those of the chef. There is no best answer to this kind of question. There is no standard answer, but only the chef's favorite answer - after all, this is a game, and the referee's standard is the most important.
For example, if a top chef who cooks Sichuan cuisine cooks a table of delicious Sichuan cuisine for Gordon, can Gordon appreciate it?Not necessarily, the chef personally doesn't like spicy food, this is his taste preference.Therefore, between an extremely spicy dish and an excellent steak, Gordon might prefer the latter.
"I think, gravy?" Yi Li also asked tentatively.
As a chef, her talent is limited, and she can't think of any fantastic combinations. A chef is different from a model. Talent is important, but acquired hard work is more important.There are models in the world who are born out of nowhere and rely entirely on talent to eat this bowl of rice, but it is difficult for chefs with only talent and insufficient hard work to achieve real achievements.
Only a chef with taste, creativity and hard work can become famous in the industry, and the three are indispensable.
Empty taste, is a gourmet.Empty is creative and a visionary.Empty and hardworking, he is an assembly line chef.
In Yili's own words, it should actually be the first one - taste buds are jointly created by innate and acquired taste buds. People with an innate sense of taste will always eat dark dishes, and their perception of food will be destroyed; It is to eat excellent food, so the eyesight and taste of the tongue are broadened. Even if the natural taste sensitivity is limited, they can also have their own opinions on food.
Yili is not a picky eater, but prefers tastier food, and she uses her own judgment in this regard.As for hard work, she is not lacking, she may be one of the hardest reincarnated people in the reincarnation world - Kong Yao who once coached her in America's Supermodel and Miller who taught her cooking have both affirmed this point , what she lacks is the talent in flavor matching, which should be an acquired shortcoming that cannot be made up for - if it is not in the world of reincarnation.In short, her last short board has also been made up.
But even so, she is still not sure whether her views on food can be affirmed by the chef.Even if she has a different point of view from the chef, she can still state sufficient reasons for her point of view, and the chef will agree with her to a certain extent, but this is not the same as agreeing from the heart.It would be best if an agreement can be reached naturally.
"Well, how do you say it?" When hearing other people's thoughts, the chef, who always smiled and sipped his wine glass, twitched his eyebrows when he heard Yili's answer, and asked with interest—he The goblet in his hand has been placed on the side of the plate, his hands are unconsciously crossed on the table, and his body is slightly tilted towards Yili.
"The gravy is the most essential part of a piece of meat, and it is also the most precious sauce of the meat itself." Yili straightened her thoughts and said to the chef, "Whether it is beef, pork, mutton, or chicken or duck, the gravy The taste is the richest. The taste of the meat, the flavor of the seasoning, and the flavor of the fire are all reflected in the gravy.
For example, the gravy of beef is mellow and smooth, the gravy of pork is mild and light, and the gravy of lamb is delicious and rich.If they are paired with appropriate seasonings, such as seasoning powders and spices, their flavors will be even more invigorated. "
Yili breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The heat is also necessary. If the heat is too high, the gravy will be less. If the heat is too low, the meat will not be cooked, and the gravy will be too raw and fishy. Only when the heat is just right, can a wonderful meal be achieved." Balance. But this balance is not the only one. Different cooking methods can have different balances.
For example, when Wellington steak is made, the steak should be wrapped with puff pastry, and the heat and gravy are locked in the steak, so as long as the meat is medium-rare, you can get delicious meat quality; another example is that Diana steak is fried According to everyone's taste, it can be adjusted to medium-rare or medium-rare, the gravy of medium-rare will be richer, and the gravy of medium-rare will be richer. "
"Interesting point of view." After listening to Eli's well-reasoned statement, Gordon smiled and nodded, adding, "The gravy is indeed one of the most important parts of the steak, but the quality of the steak itself is also very important.
When we eat a good steak, we not only taste it with the taste buds on our tongue, but also taste it with our teeth and mouth, so the temperature and the texture of chewing are very important.
I personally think that the best steak should have the best meat quality, the cooking method that can fully display the meat quality, the most appropriate side dishes with harmonious taste, and, most importantly, the right temperature, pliable and chewy but The taste is not too strong, and the original delicious gravy. "
After the chef finished speaking, he took a small sip of red wine and slowly savored it in his mouth, and his personal talk also inspired many contestants present - those who didn't get inspired just couldn't understand it. Such a person without savvy, the chef can't do anything.
"Ladies, and Mr. Ramsay." At this moment, the young foreman Adonis came over pushing a dining cart with a small ice bucket on the table. Inside the ice bucket was a bottle of red wine slanted. , he said softly, "A gentleman gave you a bottle of 2009 Margaux on your table, would you like to open it?"
"Huh? May I ask who gave it to you?" Gordon raised his brows - the 2009 Margaux is worth nearly 20 US dollars. For most people, this is by no means a small amount of money.Even in the last round of the challenge, the high-end red wine that Gordon invited the men's team to drink was not so extravagant.
"It's the gentleman over there." Adonis gestured to a young guest on the table not far away, "He said, if asked, please let me give this card to this lady. "Adonis looked at Yili.
"..." The chef and other female contestants also looked at Yili.
This is really a big deal!Using Margaux as an invitation to strike up a conversation is really too much money!
Even a local tyrant like the chef couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart.
The eyes of the other female contestants are even greener—Leah is stronger than them, they recognize it, and the chef is more favored than them in the competition, they also recognize it, but now when they come out for a meal, they keep stabbing them !They don't recognize it!
Those with a more peaceful mind, such as Denisa, such as Julie--mothers with children are more able to hold back at this time, and those with violent ups and downs are Renee.She felt that she was extremely sexy and full of charm. Everyone around her loved her, and there was no reason why it was not her, but Leah who struck up a conversation!Thinking of this, Renee was extremely upset!
"..." The client, Yi Li, wanted to touch her forehead—she was accosted even when she came out for a meal, especially during the competition. Looking at the excited eyes of the photographer, she knew that this paragraph would not be cut, which made her very embarrassed.But under the hint of the chef's eyes (this can obviously add a hot spot to the show!), she still sighed and took the card that Adonis respectfully handed over.
It was actually a business card, with the name and the identity of the investment banker on the front ignored, and a paragraph written in a very unruly font on the back: Dear lady, your elegant conversation makes me heartbroken, and I would like to make acquaintance with you through Margaux, Only it suits you.
"Wow~" Irene, who was sitting on Yili's left, also let out a small exclamation when she saw this sentence - she should be one of the few chefs present who clearly knew the price of Margaux in 2009, but It was also because of this that she was even more astounded by this expensive gift that was just a meeting gift (the implication of that sentence).
Yi Li didn't care as much about this meeting ceremony as the others.Of course she knows the value of this bottle of wine, and 20 US dollars is not a small amount, but perhaps only a small part of the reason why the other party gave this bottle of wine is because of herself, and the bigger reason is because there are photographers following them. shoot.The other party probably thought she was a TV star, so she took this "bait".And since it was a bait, of course Yili wouldn't take it to heart.
"Everyone, do you want to drive?" Adonis reminded again.
"We're recording a show, aren't we? I think it might be inconvenient?" Ellie asked the chef for confirmation.
"No, if you are willing to accept it, of course you can, this is your freedom." The chef immediately expressed his opinion.
"..." Yili sighed again, she knew that the chef and the program crew would like to see this kind of situation, and the chef's implication was that she still wanted her to accept it, "Then please open it." She said to Yadu Nice said.
Under normal circumstances, but not in a competition, Yili would never accept such inexplicable hospitality.But this is a contest of her life and death, as long as the chef and the program crew want her to accept, then she will definitely accept.
Since the other party has already ordered this bottle of wine, the price should have little effect on the other party - even if she does not accept it, the wine that has been taken out of the wine cellar cannot be returned, but it can be taken away.This expense is an established fact, and Yili hopes that the money will have little effect on the other party.From the other party's business card, it should be like this.
After all, after finishing this game, she will leave this world—completely, without leaving a single thought.After all, in this world, she has no reason to stay—at least, for now.
Once she leaves this world, everything about her will disappear, and Yili can probably predict what the reincarnation system will do to maintain the balance of this world: the memory of the other party will probably be adjusted, from giving wine to accosting, to becoming Cheng gave wine to the admiring chef, and the chef should readily accept it, and the memory would be adjusted to the same state, as would other participants.This may be the terrifying adjustment power of the central system of the main city of reincarnation to the virtual world.
After obtaining Yili's consent, Adonis carefully opened the expensive bottle of red wine for them.
With a sound of "Bo", the cork was brought out from the mouth of the bottle by the corkscrew, and a white mist with a faint aroma of grapes overflowed from the mouth of the bottle, and the air was filled with the elegant and intoxicating aroma of wine.
Adonis took the glass out of the ice box, put it in front of them again, and poured the most suitable red wine for them, and then said politely like before, " Please use it slowly." Then he turned and left.
"This is 20 dollars of wine?" Whitney, who was sitting on the other side of Irene, had already inquired about the price of this bottle of wine from Irene - just thinking about the way the money piled up made her bear His heart trembled uncontrollably, and he was even more cautious when holding the wine glass, for fear of smashing this absolutely precious luxury!She has never drank such an expensive wine in her life!
"Probably so." Knowing the price of this bottle of wine, Gina was also very jealous of the treatment of her teammates. Even though she knew that the chef was sitting opposite them, her words still unconsciously brought out a little sourness.
"Then let's toast the victory and the bar." Yili ignored Gina's sourness, and changed the subject - she didn't want her teammates to continue to pay attention to this unimportant matter, if the partner she was optimistic about would be psychologically affected by it Out of balance is troublesome.In this sense, Yili is really indifferent to this unexpected event.
"Okay, toast to victory!"
"To our wine!"
"Respect to the red team this time!"
Reminded by Yili's words, smiles appeared on the faces of the female contestants who were originally lacking in interest - no matter how well Lia did, at least they won the victory, at least they enjoyed the top quality wine!Some people even secretly thought that they must tell the men's team about this paragraph after they go back, to make them more troubled, envious and envious, and make them so arrogant last time!
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip of the top red wine carefully.
This traditional famous wine from the No. [-] winery on the left bank of Porto is very soft in the mouth, with a light and pure feeling.
But then, the refrigerated wine gradually releases its charm with the warm mouth temperature. After fully fermented in wooden barrels, the delicate and smooth red wine without the slightest astringency constantly reverberates in the mouth.
The old winery, the traditional method, in the long fermentation and precipitation, the high-quality and rich tannins born from the grapes give the wine an unparalleled sense of layering - fruity, woody, fermented The wonderful violet aroma formed is light and intoxicating, becoming a clear and mellow wine aroma, which slowly spreads from the root of the throat to the nasal cavity, making people feel a little drunk.
This is a feast for taste and smell.The mellow, slightly sweet, delicate and flawless taste and breath are indeed just like its name, just like the moving rhythm of young women singing, elegant and soft, yet powerful enough to conquer every wine taster!
"Wow……"
Even people who are not very good at tasting wine can instinctively perceive the extraordinaryness of this wine.
This may also be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many players to taste this top-notch wine!
"What is it?" The female contestants asked excitedly and curiously - the rewards provided by Hell's Kitchen will definitely not be bad!No matter what the reward is, it must be better than they imagined!Everyone is very confident in the richness of the chef and the show crew.
"This time, you will be on the nearby pier, boarding..." Gordon said here, the female contestants have desperately pressed their hands on their hearts, and couldn't help holding their breath. It won't be..."This ship Luxurious cruise ship!"

"As for you, my men." Gordon turned his head to look at the male players, and the relaxed smile he had when communicating with the women's team immediately receded from his face, replaced by a face that instantly pulled down— —The hairs of the male contestants stood on end, "You are going to spend a very painful day in Hell's Kitchen.

"God, I can't believe that we are on such a luxury cruise ship!" Meg was so excited that she was a little nervous, and she almost looked at the guests and decorations around her carefully.

Renee couldn't see Meg's philistine behavior, and rolled her eyes to the sky, but she didn't have too much sarcasm—this level of words is definitely not ironic to Renee.At the moment of winning the competition, she was pleasing to see a fool like Meg, and even she was willing to condescend to admit the fact that Leah's level was good.

For conscious winners, the biggest reward for winning the challenge is not these perhaps unprecedented enjoyments, but the valuable experience from the chef!Think about it, as long as you have a good job and can save money, you can afford to eat at top-notch restaurants, but the chance to communicate face-to-face with Michelin three-star chefs is probably only in this program!
Gordon quickly sat down at the table of the female contestants, ordered the dishes to the waiter who handed over the menu, and then asked them, "This is the first time you have won the challenge, how do you feel? "
"Excellent!" "It couldn't be better!" The female contestants replied one after another.
"Some of you did really well." Gordon nodded at them, looking at Eli especially, "Especially you, Leah. I'm amazed at your level and your judgment, okay that surprise."
"Thank you, chef." Yili smiled at the chef.
"Let's talk casually before serving the food." After the chef confirmed Yili, he brought the topic back to the main topic, "Are we talking about red wine, or fish, or meat?"
"Please, don't be fish! Scallops are terrible enough in the morning!" someone said.
"Hahahahaha." Gordon not only didn't get angry, but laughed - he is very easy-going outside of Hell's Kitchen, he is very gentle and considerate to his wife and children, he is not only a good husband, but also a good father. The grumpiness displayed is quite different.Perhaps, this contrast is also the reason why people are interested in him.
"Then let's talk about the meat." Gordon picked up the wine glass, tasted the red wine in the glass, and realized that this is not a very good drink, so he quickly crossed out the idea of talking about wine in his mind, and turned to the wine. Speaking of meat meal, which is also very important, "What do you think is the most important thing when it comes to eating meat?"
"The type of meat?" Beef, mutton, and pork obviously have different tastes, and beef has the most audience.Think about it, the classification of pork and mutton is very simple, but it is tenderloin, ribs, etc., but the classification of beef is very detailed.
"The part of the meat?" Filet, rib eye, sirloin, etc., different parts of beef have different names, not to mention the taste and texture.And steaks in different locations have different prices, which is the most intuitive difference.
"The degree of maturity of the meat?" There is a big difference in the taste of three-ripe, five-ripe, seven-ripe, and fully cooked.
"..."
The female contestants put forward various opinions. These opinions are not wrong. After all, everyone’s tastes are slightly different, and their tastes may not be similar to those of the chef. There is no best answer to this kind of question. There is no standard answer, but only the chef's favorite answer - after all, this is a game, and the referee's standard is the most important.
For example, if a top chef who cooks Sichuan cuisine cooks a table of delicious Sichuan cuisine for Gordon, can Gordon appreciate it?Not necessarily, the chef personally doesn't like spicy food, this is his taste preference.Therefore, between an extremely spicy dish and an excellent steak, Gordon might prefer the latter.
"I think, gravy?" Yi Li also asked tentatively.
As a chef, her talent is limited, and she can't think of any fantastic combinations. A chef is different from a model. Talent is important, but acquired hard work is more important.There are models in the world who are born out of nowhere and rely entirely on talent to eat this bowl of rice, but it is difficult for chefs with only talent and insufficient hard work to achieve real achievements.
Only a chef with taste, creativity and hard work can become famous in the industry, and the three are indispensable.
Empty taste, is a gourmet.Empty is creative and a visionary.Empty and hardworking, he is an assembly line chef.
In Yili's own words, it should actually be the first one - taste buds are jointly created by innate and acquired taste buds. People with an innate sense of taste will always eat dark dishes, and their perception of food will be destroyed; It is to eat excellent food, so the eyesight and taste of the tongue are broadened. Even if the natural taste sensitivity is limited, they can also have their own opinions on food.
Yili is not a picky eater, but prefers tastier food, and she uses her own judgment in this regard.As for hard work, she is not lacking, she may be one of the hardest reincarnated people in the reincarnation world - Kong Yao who once coached her in America's Supermodel and Miller who taught her cooking have both affirmed this point , what she lacks is the talent in flavor matching, which should be an acquired shortcoming that cannot be made up for - if it is not in the world of reincarnation.In short, her last short board has also been made up.
But even so, she is still not sure whether her views on food can be affirmed by the chef.Even if she has a different point of view from the chef, she can still state sufficient reasons for her point of view, and the chef will agree with her to a certain extent, but this is not the same as agreeing from the heart.It would be best if an agreement can be reached naturally.
"Well, how do you say it?" When hearing other people's thoughts, the chef, who always smiled and sipped his wine glass, twitched his eyebrows when he heard Yili's answer, and asked with interest—he The goblet in his hand has been placed on the side of the plate, his hands are unconsciously crossed on the table, and his body is slightly tilted towards Yili.
"The gravy is the most essential part of a piece of meat, and it is also the most precious sauce of the meat itself." Yili straightened her thoughts and said to the chef, "Whether it is beef, pork, mutton, or chicken or duck, the gravy The taste is the richest. The taste of the meat, the flavor of the seasoning, and the flavor of the fire are all reflected in the gravy.
For example, the gravy of beef is mellow and smooth, the gravy of pork is mild and light, and the gravy of lamb is delicious and rich.If they are paired with appropriate seasonings, such as seasoning powders and spices, their flavors will be even more invigorated. "
Yili breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The heat is also necessary. If the heat is too high, the gravy will be less. If the heat is too low, the meat will not be cooked, and the gravy will be too raw and fishy. Only when the heat is just right, can a wonderful meal be achieved." Balance. But this balance is not the only one. Different cooking methods can have different balances.
For example, when Wellington steak is made, the steak should be wrapped with puff pastry, and the heat and gravy are locked in the steak, so as long as the meat is medium-rare, you can get delicious meat quality; another example is that Diana steak is fried According to everyone's taste, it can be adjusted to medium-rare or medium-rare, the gravy of medium-rare will be richer, and the gravy of medium-rare will be richer. "
"Interesting point of view." After listening to Eli's well-reasoned statement, Gordon smiled and nodded, adding, "The gravy is indeed one of the most important parts of the steak, but the quality of the steak itself is also very important.
When we eat a good steak, we not only taste it with the taste buds on our tongue, but also taste it with our teeth and mouth, so the temperature and the texture of chewing are very important.
I personally think that the best steak should have the best meat quality, the cooking method that can fully display the meat quality, the most appropriate side dishes with harmonious taste, and, most importantly, the right temperature, pliable and chewy but The taste is not too strong, and the original delicious gravy. "
After the chef finished speaking, he took a small sip of red wine and slowly savored it in his mouth, and his personal talk also inspired many contestants present - those who didn't get inspired just couldn't understand it. Such a person without savvy, the chef can't do anything.
"Ladies, and Mr. Ramsay." At this moment, the young foreman Adonis came over pushing a dining cart with a small ice bucket on the table. Inside the ice bucket was a bottle of red wine slanted. , he said softly, "A gentleman gave you a bottle of 2009 Margaux on your table, would you like to open it?"
"Huh? May I ask who gave it to you?" Gordon raised his brows - the 2009 Margaux is worth nearly 20 US dollars. For most people, this is by no means a small amount of money.Even in the last round of the challenge, the high-end red wine that Gordon invited the men's team to drink was not so extravagant.
"It's the gentleman over there." Adonis gestured to a young guest on the table not far away, "He said, if asked, please let me give this card to this lady. "Adonis looked at Yili.
"..." The chef and other female contestants also looked at Yili.
This is really a big deal!Using Margaux as an invitation to strike up a conversation is really too much money!
Even a local tyrant like the chef couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart.
The eyes of the other female contestants are even greener—Leah is stronger than them, they recognize it, and the chef is more favored than them in the competition, they also recognize it, but now when they come out for a meal, they keep stabbing them !They don't recognize it!
Those with a more peaceful mind, such as Denisa, such as Julie--mothers with children are more able to hold back at this time, and those with violent ups and downs are Renee.She felt that she was extremely sexy and full of charm. Everyone around her loved her, and there was no reason why it was not her, but Leah who struck up a conversation!Thinking of this, Renee was extremely upset!
"..." The client, Yi Li, wanted to touch her forehead—she was accosted even when she came out for a meal, especially during the competition. Looking at the excited eyes of the photographer, she knew that this paragraph would not be cut, which made her very embarrassed.But under the hint of the chef's eyes (this can obviously add a hot spot to the show!), she still sighed and took the card that Adonis respectfully handed over.
It was actually a business card, with the name and the identity of the investment banker on the front ignored, and a paragraph written in a very unruly font on the back: Dear lady, your elegant conversation makes me heartbroken, and I would like to make acquaintance with you through Margaux, Only it suits you.
"Wow~" Irene, who was sitting on Yili's left, also let out a small exclamation when she saw this sentence - she should be one of the few chefs present who clearly knew the price of Margaux in 2009, but It was also because of this that she was even more astounded by this expensive gift that was just a meeting gift (the implication of that sentence).
Yi Li didn't care as much about this meeting ceremony as the others.Of course she knows the value of this bottle of wine, and 20 US dollars is not a small amount, but perhaps only a small part of the reason why the other party gave this bottle of wine is because of herself, and the bigger reason is because there are photographers following them. shoot.The other party probably thought she was a TV star, so she took this "bait".And since it was a bait, of course Yili wouldn't take it to heart.
"Everyone, do you want to drive?" Adonis reminded again.
"We're recording a show, aren't we? I think it might be inconvenient?" Ellie asked the chef for confirmation.
"No, if you are willing to accept it, of course you can, this is your freedom." The chef immediately expressed his opinion.
"..." Yili sighed again, she knew that the chef and the program crew would like to see this kind of situation, and the chef's implication was that she still wanted her to accept it, "Then please open it." She said to Yadu Nice said.
Under normal circumstances, but not in a competition, Yili would never accept such inexplicable hospitality.But this is a contest of her life and death, as long as the chef and the program crew want her to accept, then she will definitely accept.
Since the other party has already ordered this bottle of wine, the price should have little effect on the other party - even if she does not accept it, the wine that has been taken out of the wine cellar cannot be returned, but it can be taken away.This expense is an established fact, and Yili hopes that the money will have little effect on the other party.From the other party's business card, it should be like this.
After all, after finishing this game, she will leave this world—completely, without leaving a single thought.After all, in this world, she has no reason to stay—at least, for now.
Once she leaves this world, everything about her will disappear, and Yili can probably predict what the reincarnation system will do to maintain the balance of this world: the memory of the other party will probably be adjusted, from giving wine to accosting, to becoming Cheng gave wine to the admiring chef, and the chef should readily accept it, and the memory would be adjusted to the same state, as would other participants.This may be the terrifying adjustment power of the central system of the main city of reincarnation to the virtual world.
After obtaining Yili's consent, Adonis carefully opened the expensive bottle of red wine for them.
With a sound of "Bo", the cork was brought out from the mouth of the bottle by the corkscrew, and a white mist with a faint aroma of grapes overflowed from the mouth of the bottle, and the air was filled with the elegant and intoxicating aroma of wine.
Adonis took the glass out of the ice box, put it in front of them again, and poured the most suitable red wine for them, and then said politely like before, " Please use it slowly." Then he turned and left.
"This is 20 dollars of wine?" Whitney, who was sitting on the other side of Irene, had already inquired about the price of this bottle of wine from Irene - just thinking about the way the money piled up made her bear His heart trembled uncontrollably, and he was even more cautious when holding the wine glass, for fear of smashing this absolutely precious luxury!She has never drank such an expensive wine in her life!
"Probably so." Knowing the price of this bottle of wine, Gina was also very jealous of the treatment of her teammates. Even though she knew that the chef was sitting opposite them, her words still unconsciously brought out a little sourness.
"Then let's toast the victory and the bar." Yili ignored Gina's sourness, and changed the subject - she didn't want her teammates to continue to pay attention to this unimportant matter, if the partner she was optimistic about would be psychologically affected by it Out of balance is troublesome.In this sense, Yili is really indifferent to this unexpected event.
"Okay, toast to victory!"
"To our wine!"
"Respect to the red team this time!"
Reminded by Yili's words, smiles appeared on the faces of the female contestants who were originally lacking in interest - no matter how well Lia did, at least they won the victory, at least they enjoyed the top quality wine!Some people even secretly thought that they must tell the men's team about this paragraph after they go back, to make them more troubled, envious and envious, and make them so arrogant last time!
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip of the top red wine carefully.
This traditional famous wine from the No. [-] winery on the left bank of Porto is very soft in the mouth, with a light and pure feeling.
But then, the refrigerated wine gradually releases its charm with the warm mouth temperature. After fully fermented in wooden barrels, the delicate and smooth red wine without the slightest astringency constantly reverberates in the mouth.
The old winery, the traditional method, in the long fermentation and precipitation, the high-quality and rich tannins born from the grapes give the wine an unparalleled sense of layering - fruity, woody, fermented The wonderful violet aroma formed is light and intoxicating, becoming a clear and mellow wine aroma, which slowly spreads from the root of the throat to the nasal cavity, making people feel a little drunk.
This is a feast for taste and smell.The mellow, slightly sweet, delicate and flawless taste and breath are indeed just like its name, just like the moving rhythm of young women singing, elegant and soft, yet powerful enough to conquer every wine taster!
"Wow……"
Even people who are not very good at tasting wine can instinctively perceive the extraordinaryness of this wine.
This may also be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many players to taste this top-notch wine!
