2217 The taste test is over

Auguste felt that he should look at Juman li in a new light. He also had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose. He was actually such a person.

Ju man Li ignored Auguste’s gaze. Just as he was about to speak, he smelled the fragrance of oil and crisp sesame seeds, which was very tempting.

“Is the dessert here? What kind of desserts can there be in China?” Ju man Li said.

Although he didn’t have high expectations, ju man Li, as a serious and responsible judge, had to be responsible for every participating head chef, even if he didn’t think highly of this head chef.

Ju man Li believed that this was the foundation of the judging team.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned in the direction of the fragrance and saw a row of beautiful waitresses.

Everyone was carrying a small tray, and a small plate could be vaguely seen on it. Instantly, some people began to Mutter in their hearts.

“Why is the plate so small? there must be less food.” That was Abby’s first reaction.

Even the steady and mature Alessandra was a little unhappy that there was too little. The chicken just now was too little, and now the desserts were too little. Were they not standing high enough?

No, was there a lack of ingredients?

Regardless of what the judges were thinking, the lady etiquette staff walked forward and placed small plates in front of them.

In other words, it was one size bigger than the palm-sized biscuit inside. It was just enough to put the entire yellow biscuit inside. It did not feel crowded, but it also did not feel too big.

“This is a pie?” Adrian looked at the biscuit.

“It seems so.” Abby nodded in agreement.

Auguste, who had eaten a lot of Chinese food, was rather knowledgeable.”It looks like a shaobing, but there’s no oven for making shaobing in the arena. I wonder how Yuan makes it.”

The main reason was that the round barrel used to make the sesame seed cakes had left a deep impression on August. It was a snack he had bought when he was waiting to eat at Taoxi road. Although it didn’t taste as good as Yuan Zhou ‘s, it wasn’t too bad either. Therefore, it was still fresh in his memory.

Jack’s next words confirmed Auguste’s guess,”this is the world in the heart. It is a pastry made by head chef Yuan based on the principle of sesame seed cake. Judges, please have a taste.”

Jack was quite dissatisfied that he didn’t say anything useful in the previous two rounds of reporting. Therefore, he took advantage of the last round to communicate with Yuan Zhou and got some practical things before he came to explain.

This was for the professionalism of the competition, not to get close to him.

He subconsciously touched the phone in his pocket. Jack had already saved head chef Yuan’s phone number.

It had to be said that Jack’s commentary this time was indeed more on point. At least, he mentioned the shortbread making technique, allowing everyone to have a better understanding. It was unlike the previous dishes that were so delicious, but the audience who couldn’t eat them were completely confused.

Just by hearing the beautiful names and perfect looks, there was no other possibility. Only the audience in the front few rows could smell the intoxicating fragrance, and the audience in the back rows could not smell anything at all.

“It’s shaobing. I wasn’t wrong, but it still looks different.” Gauss looked down at the cake.

He discovered that even the White sesame seeds sprinkled on the surface of the pastry were slightly charred. One look and he knew that the heat control was on point.

However, the aroma of the dough mixed with the oil and the faint smell of meat was irresistible. The judges didn’t have the time to observe. They all put on a disposable glove with their left hands in unison and planned to pick it up to eat.

It had been delivered together with the shortbread, or even Abby would have wanted to take it directly.

Once it entered Abby’s hands, she was a little surprised. Originally, other than the sesame seeds, there were also layers of layers of soft skin on it, which looked very nice, but it felt as if it would fall off with just a slight touch.

It gave off the feeling that he had to be held carefully.

It was not until he held it in his hand through the glove that he realized that it was just an illusion. Even if the action was a little rough, there was no pastry falling off, which showed the chef’s skill.

“This is too exquisitely made.” Abby could not help but sigh.

Even though it was French food that was famous for its exquisiteness, Abby still felt that it was difficult to find anything that could compare with Yuan Zhou’s dessert.

“Ka Cha!”

After taking a bite, the crispy outer layer began to fall off along with the strength of his teeth. However, this was not the most amazing part. The outer layer was very crispy, but the part near the filling was very soft and flexible because it had absorbed enough soup.

With just one bite, the stuffing inside was revealed, showing how full it was. The unique taste of the sausage and the sweet and tender chicken meat, the combination of saltiness and freshness, created a strong love, and the taste was quite wonderful.

“Leon’s sausage and bris chicken are simply wonderful. Western ingredients, Eastern taste, a master’s idea.” Abby surrendered immediately.

He was truly conquered by Yuan Zhou. The three dishes in a row were all above the standard. Abby fully understood what Auguste had said before,”no matter what kind of privileges are given, Yuan deserves them.”

Abby had thought that Auguste was just throwing a tantrum at ju Manli. Only now did she know that he was telling the truth. Abby felt that the chair she was sitting on was a little prickly because of his craftsmanship, and she felt that he was not fit to sit there and judge.

This was not the only thought that came to mind. Alexander and the others more or less had the same thought. It was indeed because the three dishes were too amazing, and the cooking speed was very fast.

They all knew that one had to be careful if they wanted to eat it. However, Yuan Zhou’s performance had violated the Basic Law of cooking.

As for ju man Li, one could tell just by looking at the clean and tidy plates.

The pastries made by Yuan Zhou this time were made using some of the methods of making Huangqiao sesame seed cakes, especially the kneading of the dough. He had completely borrowed the kneading method of Huangqiao sesame seed cakes, which was to let the dough ferment in cold weather,”snowflake seed” in hot weather and “rat spraying sand” in moderate weather.

“I wonder if the food in Huaxia is to the taste of these Westerners.” Yuan Zhou stood by the kitchen range with his back straight.

She maintained her best posture, her eyes looking straight ahead, and only glanced at the situation at the judging board from the corner of her eye.

He strived to show his most perfect charm.”I’m yuan Zhou. I’ll speak for myself.”

It wasn’t that Yuan Zhou wasn’t confident in his own craftsmanship, but the difference between the East and the West. There were some places that were different. Therefore, he was a little worried.

“Alright. Now, will the judges please write down head chef Yuan’s score on a piece of paper and hand it over to the coordination team for tabulating. The final result will be announced at the end of the competition.” Jack saw that the judges had finished eating and immediately started his own work.

The first round of the competition used a combined score system of three dishes, which was the overall score. This had both advantages and disadvantages. Of course, for a chef with excellent craftsmanship and every dish was of the best quality, there were definitely more advantages.
