Chapter 413 You guys are eating, why are you watching? [6000 words, please order in full]

Seeing Li Cheng's operation, everyone in Class Nine fell into confusion.

Even Ren Yan is a little confused.

For a state banquet-level dish, this guy actually dares to use thick soup instead?

Are you really not afraid that the taste of the finished product will not be even half of the original?

But then again, why don’t these foreigners seem to find this kind of thing a problem?

What do you mean by your still calm eyes?!

This kid Li Cheng uses a soup pot!

An industrial product produced for the convenience of making dishes~

Is such behavior really okay in a game like this?

Shouldn't the daily use of this thing be on a small family stove?

Ren Yan had to admit that he was a little confused at this moment.

I originally thought that Li Cheng was a bit of a show-off, but now it seems that there is no big problem with Li Cheng's approach except that it is a bit tricky.

On the contrary, it seems that I don’t understand these foreign friends’ pursuit of delicious food!

But after thinking about it carefully, Ren Yan nodded secretly.

Too

Even if their delicacy takes longer to prepare, it only takes two hours at best.

Under such prerequisites, it seems a bit too difficult for them to understand the process of making a delicious dish that takes nine hours.

At this moment, Ren Yan suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have to worry too much about the outcome of this game.

After Li Cheng used the Soup Treasure to carve the cabbage with peace of mind, the scene calmed down again for a while.

The emotions of several judges have returned to normal.

Apart from occasionally commenting on Leo and Li Cheng's techniques, they spend most of their time popularizing some food knowledge.

For example, the grading of beef, the origin of world-famous cabbage, etc.

We also used this small knowledge to speculate on the materials used by Li Cheng and others.

From this point of view, we cannot say that these people are unprofessional.

But this kind of professional seems to really not know much about the food system of Long Country.

Most of the systems they describe are still in places like Europe and America.

When talking about the Dragon Kingdom, we should start with dumplings, roast duck and other world-famous delicacies.

As for state banquet-level delicacies, it is not mentioned at all, not even the panlong cucumber, which is the most test of knife skills and is often served as an appetizer at state banquets and is the most widely recognized dish.

From this point of view, the judges invited by the European Union Education Bureau are still quite one-sided.

Otherwise, the delicacies made by Li Cheng have already been pointed out by others, but the judges and the public are still half-informed about the delicacies made by Li Cheng. They basically rely on guessing.

Fortunately, the game was not very long.

At nearly two hours, the rich fragrance around the arena had almost taken shape, and it unknowingly aroused everyone's greed.

From the beginning to now, the time has been close to 11:00, which is right around the time of lunch.

The combination of the two made the hunger of the crowd, who were watching this kind of game for the first time, even stronger.

Especially the moment Leo opened the lid of his gourmet pot, his hunger reached its peak.

Just as Li Cheng and the judges had guessed before, Leo made a relatively standard Charolais steak braised in red wine. Through the braised method, the sweetness of the red wine was completely integrated with the steak.

Not only does it perfectly combine the two flavors, but it also makes the steak taste softer and more glutinous.

With the addition of Leo's carefully crafted concentrated tomato juice-based sauce, this steak has once again raised another dimension in terms of flavor.

Therefore, after he sprinkled the sauce evenly on the steak, the impact on the taste and vision was extremely strong.

Most people began to swallow their saliva unconsciously when they saw such a steak.

Needless to say, they also know that the degree of completion of this steak is extremely high. Even in a Michelin restaurant, it should be the type recommended by the chef.

However, Leo did not have any disturbance in his heart regarding the true reaction of the masses.

Although the main body of the steak is finished, aren't some of the toppings yet to be decorated?

Without these, a dry steak would look so monotonous~

So after completing this, Leo skillfully placed the previously blanched broccoli on top of the steak, and placed two cherry tomatoes (small tomatoes) next to it.

After that, he put a little of the mayonnaise-based sauce on the dinner plate, then slightly hooked the spoon, and a perfect arc of egg yolk appeared on the dinner plate.

It makes the whole steak look more artistic.

But Leo still felt that there were some shortcomings. After completing this, he forcibly placed a small piece of mint leaf next to the steak, and after making a glass of lemon sparkling water on the spot, he nodded with satisfaction.

Only then did he finish his plate. After preparing five copies, he walked up to the judges with his delicious food with a smile on his face, put it down one by one, and waited for the judges to taste and score.

Seeing this scene, before the judges started eating, Ren Yan clicked her tongue helplessly.

He was a little confused, why was Leo doing all these fancy things here?

The judges don’t eat, isn’t this a waste of time?

With this period of time, he is not afraid that the steak has passed its best eating time?

This is a stewed steak. It’s still winter, so it’ll be cold as long as it’s cool. Is this really okay for you?

Sure enough, it was as helpless as Ren Yan's heart.

When the judges got their portions of steak, their first move was to skillfully pull aside the broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and mint leaves, leaving only the staple dish of steak.

However, during the process, they still lamented that Leo's plating skills really understood the essence of French cuisine.

As soon as they saw it, they couldn't help but move their index fingers.

Of course, not all judges gave such an evaluation.

At the very least, the lazy beauty who looked unusually noble before was unmoved, and even frowned slightly while taking a breath.

After that, he skillfully cut the steak and put it in his mouth.

During this session, the judges tasted the steak carefully, biting each bite extremely slowly. Some even squinted their eyes to carefully taste all the flavors in the steak.

As time passed, the judges' expressions changed from taste to appreciation and intoxication.

This extremely varied and rich facial expression allowed the people around him to imagine what it was like even if they didn't hear their comments.

Involuntarily, the hunger in their stomachs became even stronger.

And when the judges swallowed the last bite of steak, they couldn't help but smile on their faces, and the chef man even stood up and applauded:

"I have to say that the finish of this steak is really high."

“Whether it’s the appearance at the beginning, or the aroma and taste later on, it’s all at an excellent level, and the nutrition of Charlotte steak is no less impressive.”

“Coupled with France’s famous Chias red wine, the overall steak has a qualitative leap.”

“It’s just a bottle of well-known red wine used as an accompaniment to steak, which makes people feel a bit wasteful.”

"However, I am still willing to give it full marks in terms of appearance, aroma, taste, and nutrition."

"The last two hours of production time are a little too long. If this was placed in a restaurant, customers would definitely complain."

“But considering that you are still a high school student, I think it’s okay to give me a nine out of 10 in terms of time.”

"Then my overall score is 9.8."

After the chef man said this, he clapped again, his eyes filled with admiration.

In his opinion, Leo, a high school student, has really amazing cooking skills. If he were to be his back cook, he would be a top-notch chef.

Much better than other ordinary chefs.

As long as he is trained well in the future, he will definitely be the material for a famous chef.

After saying this, the lady next to the chef man nodded in agreement:

"My evaluation is also the same, so I am too lazy to think more and give it the same rating of 9.8."

"I believe that Mr. Leo will definitely become an outstanding chef that attracts worldwide attention in the future."

After the two judges stood up, the two middle-aged men behind them immediately followed the team.

However, their concepts are slightly different from those of the previous two.

They think that the longer the cooking time is, the longer it takes. This has nothing to do with whether they are students or not.

Therefore, they gave a score of only 8 points in terms of time, with an average score of 9.6 points.

But even so, this is a very terrible score.

If you get full marks in the first four items, you are basically invincible. Even if there are some flaws in the subsequent time points, does it matter?
