Before going up to the third floor, Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades discussed it and decided to make a very healthy rainbow porridge as a food for the competition on the third floor.
Rainbow porridge is a pot of porridge cooked with four different colors of ingredients: mung beans, pumpkin, pine cones, and longan.
Under Liu Pleiades' seasoning, the rainbow porridge made from these already nutritious ingredients also has detoxification effects. It can be said to be delicious and good for people's health.
Such delicacies are generally the favorites of top gourmets. Because this group of people can be said to have tasted any delicacy in the world, so ordinary delicacies are just delicacies in their eyes.
Only this kind of food that can nourish your body will give them the highest rating.
After everyone climbed to the third floor, they found that apart from the place where the chefs cooked, there were only less than twenty seats on the third floor, and there were about fifteen people sitting inside.
The chefs who went up to the third floor, in addition to Fang Ze and Chef Song who were promoted from the second floor, were joined by three other chefs.
And among these three chefs, there is actually a crooked nut.
This crooked nut looks very European, with a rather arrogant expression on his face, and does not seem to intend to communicate with other people.
"There are actually foreigners." Mimi was a little excited when she saw the foreign chef. She ran to Fang Ze and said in his ear, "I wonder if he is a British chef. I have always heard of the dish of looking up at the stars, but I have never seen it. . If only this chef could make a stargazing dish that would open my eyes."
"Not all foreigners are British, okay?" Fang Ze asked Mimi to stop talking nonsense. After all, foreigners these days are not like before and they can't speak Chinese.
Nowadays, foreigners coming to China know more or less Chinese. If the foreign chef could understand what Mimi said, it would probably be very embarrassing.
After all, even in Europe, British food doesn't have a very good reputation.
An old European joke, the three thinnest books in Europe, British recipes, French victory history, and German joke books.
Originally, Fang Ze thought that this time he would just go to the competition venue and cook like the previous two times. However, the staff came to guide Fang Ze and others, asking a few people to go to the front of the auditorium and introduce themselves.
After all, the government has been promoting this food festival for a long time, and when it is over, it needs to broadcast some clips to introduce the famous chefs who came to participate in the competition.
"Introduce yourself." Fang Ze thought for a moment and pulled Mimi over, "You will come on stage to introduce us later."
"I, what did I say? I don't even know where Ju is downstairs."
"You brag, you don't want me to teach you." Fang Ze patted Xiaomi on the back and pushed him up. "You can just brag as you please. Others don't know about it anyway. Just say it casually. It's impossible for them to actually go to Sichuan to investigate our Ju Xia downstairs right now."
"Oh, okay then." Mimi was panic-stricken with a hint of joy, and began to organize words quickly in her brain.
After the previous chefs finished speaking, it was Fang Ze's turn.
Because Mimi wanted to speak, Mimi was at the front when we went up. He looked like a chef.
However, Fang Ze went up and took a look at the auditorium, and surprisingly found that there were three acquaintances sitting in the auditorium.
One of them was the eldest lady An Ruoxi who had gone upstairs early. Next to An Ruoxi was someone who surprised Fang Ze: Lin Yue, the younger generation from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium. Next to Lin Yue sat Han Zhenzhen, whom Fang Ze met in Haiping and who once wanted to hook up with Mr. Wayne.
Fang Ze was not surprised to see An Ruoxi, but when An Ruoxi saw Fang Ze, it was almost like seeing a ghost.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Fang Ze who was standing on the stage. The shape of his mouth was constantly changing, and it seemed that he was saying, 'How come you are so weird that you turned into a competing chef on the stage. '
But compared to An Ruoxi, Lin Yue's expression next to An Ruoxi was richer.
This guy was just a little surprised at first to see Fang Ze who had become a chef here, because he had investigated Fang Ze's identity before and knew that Fang Ze was a medical student.
Although both chefs and doctors use knives, the situations in which they use knives are very different, right
Before Lin Yue could react, he turned around and saw that his cousin was talking to Fang Ze with her mouth.
To be honest, Fang Ze really didn't know that An Ruoxi was Lin Yue's cousin, nor did he know that the house he and his roommate lived in in Jinling last time actually belonged to An Ruoxi.
That's why when Lin Yue asked him if he knew his cousin, Fang Zecai replied that he didn't.
But the world is such a small place, and the female netizen at Wenbo who thoughtfully ordered them midnight snacks was An Ruoxi.
So Lin Yue misunderstood this time and thought that Fang Ze had lied to him last time.
However, Fang Ze is not aware of this misunderstanding yet. After all, besides Lin Yue, there is a young man next to An Ruoxi, so Fang Ze is An Ruoxi's cousin and does not associate it with Lin Yue.
After silently replying "guess" to An Ruoxi, he turned his eyes around and landed on an old man sitting in the middle of the auditorium. The sign in front of this old man's desk read The two characters are Cai Yi.
Fang Ze was a little impressed by this name. Even though he didn't pay much attention to food festivals, he knew that this name represented a famous gourmet from the Chinese Food Festival.
Although everyone is familiar with the term gourmet, few people have seen it.
China is a country with big foodies, but there are really not many gourmets. On the one hand, this is because China lacks authoritative and neutral food magazines, and on the other hand, we do not have a rating agency like Michelin.
The difference between gourmets and foodies, to be precise, is the difference between gourmets, foodies, and gourmets. Someone on Zhihu put it this way.
A gourmet's requirement is that his home must have bamboo and his food must have meat. The glutton's request is that he would rather live without bamboo than eat without meat.
The painting style of both of them is quite normal. As a true standard foodie, when you hear the above sentence, your first reaction should be like this: Bamboo? Can you eat it
Therefore, it can be seen that in addition to enjoying food, gourmets also need to have considerable cultural background.
For example, when most people eat something delicious, they will only say it is delicious. No matter how delicious it is, they can say a few words about it being very tender, melting in the mouth, and overflowing with fragrance.
But a standard gourmet must write and speak in such a way that readers can be immersed in the food and understand why the food is delicious, what is good and what is not.
What ingredients are used, what are the details of these ingredients, and what are the stories behind them. Basically, it has to be as good as A Bite of China.
And now the old man Cai Yi in front of Fang Ze and the others is such a gourmet. He is highly educated, knowledgeable, well versed in food, and his cooking skills are also good.
So Cai Yi can be regarded as a standard top gourmet. He has published several food books. Although Fang Ze has not read the whole book, the few fragments he has read do make people want to try it after reading it. This dish is impulsive.
Of course there is the most important point.
A true gourmet must have money.
After all, what you see on paper is ultimately shallow, and gourmets can only taste it. Not only eat Chinese food, but also food from all over the world.
Not only eat from street stalls, but also eat food from three-star Michelin hotels and five-star hotels.
And these all require money. And if you are a professional gourmet who relies on writing food reviews for a living, then what you say, what you write, and what you recommend will be unfair.
Therefore, real gourmets are very rich and only regard food as a hobby. For example, Cai Yi mentioned just now. This person has many industries in Hong Kong and has invested in movies. He is a rich man with some wealth.
Of course there are exceptions, such as the promising and very famous Chinese gourmet Zhuang Zuyi. Although she has a master's degree from Columbia University and a doctorate from the University of Washington, and is well-educated, she is not considered rich and cannot taste food from all over the world. gourmet food.
But it doesn’t matter. A woman can have no money, but she can become rich by marrying a rich husband.
So, like the famous American female gourmet Julia Child, she was married to a wealthy diplomat, so she also had a lot of money and time to taste delicious food around the world.
As for ordinary people, just be a foodie.
While Fang Ze was looking at Cai Yi, Cai Yi was also looking at Fang Ze. Although Cai Yi was not a judge on the first and second floors, after Fang Ze was unexpectedly promoted on the first floor, he learned through the staff that there was such a chef who advanced with his green pepper-fried shredded pork.
There are a lot of chefs invited to this food festival, but there are only a few famous chefs. In fact, everyone’s original idea was to remove all the chefs on the first floor when they were on the second floor, because they definitely didn’t think there would be any on the first floor. Chefs can advance to the third floor.
But Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades have always been ranked first and advanced all the way to here, and the combination is still so strange, a young man and a child. It doesn't look like he has rich cooking experience. After all, the profession of chef often requires experience to make real food.
Of course this is not without surprises.
Cai Yi thought of the very expensive and limited-edition delicacies he had eaten at a cheating little shop. Their chef also seems to be a young man.
After Fang Ze and others went down, the last person to come up and introduce him was Chef Wai Guoren.
The first words of this crooked nut chef almost caused the scene to explode.
"Hello everyone, I am Jerome, a chef from the UK. What I want to bring you today is real food, not food that looks like shoe leather like Chinese hot pot."
"Since this foreigner dares to slander our hot pot?!" Lin Xiaoxin heard the foreign chef's arrogance from below, and almost jumped up and gave the foreign chef a slap in the face.
