Chapter 51 Carving a dragon and painting a phoenix
Different from Huang Shu's understanding of delicacy, the female judge named Qi next to her has a different understanding of delicacy.
In the view of the female judge named Qi, sophistication is an attitude.
Just like the afternoon tea she enjoys every day, like the cakes she carefully bakes and savors, like her niche and unique necklaces, and the makeup she uses to make herself look bright and moving at this moment.
In other words, it can be called elegance.
When this crab-stuffed orange dish was placed in front of her, the sophistication of the dish made her somewhat forgetful of her own sophistication.
The pattern engraved on the surface of the orange urn, the orange of the orange urn and the white of the porcelain plate intersect under the light. The attractive color of crab powder flashes in the orange urn, and the crab roe, crab paste, crab meat and orange meat particles are clearly visible in the crab powder.
.
Just one look at it made her index finger twitch in surprise.
Not to mention the strong and fresh aroma that has already filled the surrounding area.
Without saying a word, the female judge named Qi picked up the small spoon on the side, dug into the orange jar and dug out a spoonful. She tried her best to slow down and make herself more elegant but still seemed eager to put it into her mouth.
After thinking about it for a while, the female judge named Qi suddenly widened her eyes.
Like an accompaniment, he narrated the entire process of cooking the dish while the five judges were tasting the carved dragon and painted phoenix dish he cooked, and it ended just as the last judge finished tasting it.
What is sophistication?
The aroma of that kind of food is like a strong man rushing up to give you a bear hug. It is so warm and rough that Judge Li can't accept it.
Time passed by minute by second, and soon all five judges finished tasting Qin Lang's crab-stuffed orange dish.
Never seen it?
Here we go again, this feeling again!
"The cooking process of this dish is quite complicated. First you need..."
But the nonsense-talking Judge Zhou sitting next to Judge Qi has not started yet.
The familiar feeling when facing the braised oxtail cooked by Qin Lang a few days ago came to the mind of the judge named Qi again.
Because the other Yuling chef has not finished his cooking, any biased approach at this moment would violate their professionalism as a food fighting judge.
However, this time Tang Xie may have encountered the most powerful opponent in Shi Dou's career.
This pattern...is different?
He looked again at the orange urns in the hands of the other judges, and the surprise on his face became more and more intense.
The five judges and Qin Lang looked at the opened door of the kitchen on the other side and Tang Xie who slowly walked out pushing the kitchen cabinet cart.
The dish in front of me, called Crab Stuffed with Oranges, almost perfectly captured Judge Li’s preference for the taste of dishes.
For this judge Zhang, exquisiteness has the simplest and crudest definition.
Although he finished the dishes later, with what he said just now, the judges' impression of his dishes must not be much worse than Qin Lang's. Not only did he perfectly make up for the disadvantage of finishing later, he was also more likely to buck the trend.
At this moment, the orange jar in Judge Zhang's hand is almost at its bottom.
However, Tang Xie didn't notice at all. There seemed to be something wrong with the expressions of the five judges in the field.
It's a pity that everyone is tasting at the moment, so he can't take away the orange jars from other judges and observe them carefully.
Among the five judges, he tasted the fastest.
Tang Xie ended with a polite smile and turned to Qin Lang, who was looking at him dumbfounded.
His eyes were filled with bright colors, but there was a bit of regret deep in them.
His understanding of exquisiteness focuses more on taste.
Just as he was about to taste this exquisite dish with such a strange aroma, he noticed from the corner of his eye the orange jar in the hands of the judge surnamed Qi.
The orange flavor is sweet and relieves greasiness, the sourness and rice vinegar are perfectly blended, and the smell is appetizing. The sweetness and rice wine blend together, making you happy when you smell it.
The crab tastes fresh but not fishy, with the thickness of crab roe and crab paste and the freshness and sweetness of crab meat.
Food pays attention to color, aroma, and flavor, and "fragrance" is a very important part of it. Dishes that can barely smell the aroma are soulless.
After taking a deep sniff of the strange fragrance that filled the air, he felt a little more amazed on his face.
Among the five judges, he has participated in the Tang Xie's eating competition judging the most. He knows the Yu Ling Chef who has recently become famous quite well, and he also appreciates it very much.
In his eyes, exquisiteness naturally refers to the appearance of ingredients.
Qin Lang also knew this and took out a portion of crab-stuffed orange from the kitchen cabinet cart for Dan Bao to enjoy, while he stood quietly, waiting for Tang Xie to finish his cooking.
But they did not have any communication with Qin Lang, nor did they reveal any of their thoughts on this dish.
It’s so exquisite!
The appearance of the ingredient in front of me is worthy of the word "exquisite".
Ten minutes later, a beep sounded from in front of the stage.
He was still carefully observing the patterns carved on the outer wall of the orange urn.
Finally, Judge Zhou nodded with satisfaction.
Calmly walking to the judging table, Tang Xie took out the dishes from the kitchen cabinet cart and sent them to the five judges respectively. Then he returned to his seat, showed a decent smile and spoke eloquently.
When Judge Li took a bite of crab-stuffed orange into his mouth, all his senses seemed to be activated at this moment.
Zhou Jingjing scooped up a spoonful of crab powder and put it into his mouth. The next moment he raised his eyebrows slightly.
What kind of dishes can be considered to have exquisite taste?
In his opinion, at least it shouldn't be a dish filled with a lot of spices and a strong meaty aroma.
Don't ask, I'm cooking!
Sitting between Judge Zhang and Huang Shu, Judge Li was also tasting the crab-stuffed orange dish at the moment.
The next moment, the judges named Qi's tasting speed suddenly accelerated.
Exquisite is good!
It tastes good, you are satisfied when you eat it, it is exquisite!
Is this crab-stuffed orange dish delicate?
"Five respected judges, this is the dish I cooked, carved with dragons and painted phoenixes."
Seeing these exquisite patterns is like seeing exquisite patterns.
This taste...
But unconsciously, the rating of Qin Lang's dish in his mind increased a few points.
This is the magic weapon that he has learned from dozens of times.
But it won’t work if it’s too bland.
On the edge of the other side, at the seat furthest away from Judge Zhou, sat the judge whose surname was Zhang who had complained about his nonsense before.
At this moment, the aroma of crab-stuffed orange has spread throughout the food hopper venue. Because the hopper venue is spacious enough, there is not much residual smell.
Tang Xie sniffed it incomprehensibly. Although he could smell something, it was not too real.
At first glance, there is nothing like any orange urn.
"bite--"
Extra points!
The indescribable taste made the judges named Qi intoxicated for a while.
If you ask Judge Zhang this question, he won't even bother to answer.
Exquisite…
A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but there was no expression on his face.
He tried hard to make his dishes leave a deeper impression on the judges, but this magic weapon that had always been infallible in the past did not seem to have the desired effect this time.
