"Why?" An Ruoxi, who was straight-faced, didn't understand the reason and asked directly. "The food cooked by this guy named Song is obviously not very delicious."
"You don't care whether the food cooked by others tastes good or not." Lin Yue said, "All you need to know is that this person has a lot of fans. If you give a lower rating, you might be scolded after the show is broadcast. of."
"It's great to have fans." An Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Lin Yue.
"As long as there are idiot fans, they can do whatever they want." Lin Yue patted An Ruoxi's head and said, "Good boy, don't mess around when the scoring is done later."
As soon as Lin Yue finished speaking, the delicacies prepared by the British chef were served. At this point, except for Fang Ze's group who was still peeling bean sprouts, everyone else's food creations had been completed.
In a food competition, it is actually a very disadvantageous thing if the entry is finished last.
After all, people’s stomachs are limited. If a good dish appears in the front, after everyone is full, it will be difficult for the next delicacy to win a high score, no matter how attractive it is.
Cai Yi looked a little disappointed when he looked at Fang Ze and others who were still cooking bean sprouts in the competition kitchen.
These people are really just amateur chefs. They don’t understand this. Competitions are different from ordinary cooking. In addition to the venue, there is also a time limit.
If the entries cannot be completed within the stipulated time, then no matter how delicious the food is, it can only be a delicacy in a pot, which is completely meaningless.
But at this time, the works of the British chef have also been served. This British chef is different from other chefs because it usually does not take long to make Western food, so he cooked three dishes.
But when the first dish was served, to be honest, Cai Yi didn't want to eat it anymore. The old man even heard the little girl An Ruoxi sitting in the back row exclaim, "What the hell is this?" '
It’s no wonder An Ruoxi exclaimed, because any normal Chinese person would say “what the hell is this” when they see the first dish served by the British chef.
Dark cuisine.
Cai Yi thought about it depressedly. Although he didn't really want to eat, he still forced himself to pick up the knife and fork.
This is a dish similar to the famous dark cuisine of looking up at the stars.
What it means here is that it is not only ugly, but also hard to swallow after people see it.
All I saw was a purple plate with six eggplant tails aligned together, forming a shape like a six-pointed star.
The eggplant is cooked. Although it will taste very average if eaten alone, it is still edible.
But if it were just that, it wouldn't be called dark cuisine.
British cuisine has always been known for its simplicity, but sometimes their simplicity can be unacceptable.
For example, in the dish in front of you, if you want to cook eggplant, you should cook it properly. He just pours a layer of chocolate on top of the eggplant, and there is a little cream in the middle of the chocolate.
This dish is actually very simple. You can make it at home. Just steam six eggplants, buy a bunch of chocolate, the kind of authentic bitter chocolate, melt it, and pour it on top of the eggplants with a little cream.
Then, a Western-style meal was completed.
Cai Yi took a bite, praised the British chef, and then handed the plate to the judges behind him to continue tasting.
However, this British chef's famous dish was like a bomb. Although everyone didn't want to eat it, they still had no choice but to eat a little and then quickly passed it to the next person.
At this time, Fang Ze and the others finally finished cutting the bean sprouts, and Liu Maoxing also started to place the bean sprouts on top of the mashed potatoes to make a complete Phoenix crystal.
The few people on the sidelines had not rested for a while. In order to let other participating chefs feel the greatness of British cuisine, the hospitable British chef also handed over the dishes he had just prepared to the chefs for them to taste.
When the chefs saw the appearance of the dishes, their expressions changed immediately. They took a casual bite and passed it to the next person, and within a few minutes, it reached Fang Ze and the others.
Forehead.
Fang Ze looked at the eggplant covered with thick chocolate, turned to look at Mimi and said, "Don't you want to try looking up at the stars? This dish is similar to looking up at the stars. You can try it."
Mimi was a brave man. He actually cut a small piece of eggplant dipped in chocolate with his knife and fork and put it in his mouth.
"How does it taste?" Fang Ze and Lin Xiaoxin looked at Mimi and asked curiously.
"You can tell just by looking at my expression." Mimi gave the two of them an expression that looked like she had applied chili oil on her anus, and her whole face shrank in discomfort.
"We understand." Fang Ze and Lin Xiaoxin looked at Mimi sympathetically.
At this time, the British chef also brought the second dish.
This is a very creative cake pop. Simply put, it is made of cake into the shape of a lollipop, and then a plastic stick is inserted into it.
It sounds good. Since it's bread, the taste won't be that bad. It's not as unpalatable as the eggplants or the sisters looking up at the stars before.
But Fang Ze and the others are still too young. I don’t know what this British chef was thinking. He did not make the top of the lollipop into a traditional round shape, but made it into the shape of a human face. He also painted it with edible pigments to make it look like a human face. It looks more like a human face.
Forehead.
Can you imagine, this kind of food is not only scary to look at, but also weird when you eat it. It feels like putting a human head in your mouth.
Mimi and Fang Ze looked at each other. Fang Ze saw the resistance in Mimi's eyes, so when he was about to return the plate of human heads, Lin Xiaoxin suddenly stretched out his hand, took one and put it in in the mouth.
"What are you looking at? I'm trying to taste hemp." Lin Xiaoxin saw Fang Ze looking at him and said with her chin raised.
"Aren't you afraid of eating this?" Fang Ze asked.
"Why are you so pretentious?" Lin Xiaoxin said while chewing this cake pop. "As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter what it looks like."
After Lin Xiaoxin finished speaking, she swallowed the cake pop in her mouth completely, and then said to Fang Ze, "It's unexpectedly delicious. Do you want to try it?"
"Try it." Fang Ze saw that Lin Xiaoxin didn't seem to be lying to him, so he picked one up and tasted it, and found that it tasted really good.
If this British chef could stop making the lollipops into the shape of a human head, the dish would surely be even more popular.
The last British dish was a meal based on mutton, mixed with all kinds of messy ingredients that I don’t know what they are, but they looked ugly. Although it still looked very ugly, Fang Ze and Lin Xiaoxin plucked up the courage to taste it and found that to be fair, the taste was okay.
Although the two of them were not used to the British chef's mixing method due to taste reasons, it was not to the extent that it was unpalatable.
"I feel that if I have the opportunity to go to the UK in the future, I must try authentic British food." Lin Xiaoxin took a few bites of the mutton and said, "It's not very unpalatable."
"Our British food is not very delicious." A voice speaking broken Chinese came from the side. Several people were startled. When they looked up, they found that the person speaking was the British chef.
"Although it's not terrible, it's definitely not very delicious." Fang Ze looked at the British chef and said honestly.
"This must be admitted." The British chef heard Fang Ze's words. He was not angry, but said objectively, "The style of British food is completely opposite to the style of French food. The characteristics of French food It’s the generous use of seasonings, while our British cuisine pursues a natural style. It’s a bit similar to Italian cuisine, but Britain is also an island country with very poor resources, and almost nothing grows except potatoes and rapeseeds.”
"Oh, it's the same now." The British chef interjected and continued, "Our cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. are all imported, so they are very expensive. If you go to the UK to eat British food, be sure not to go to the roadside kiosks. Because in order to save costs, they basically wrap a fish in dough and fry it for you to eat. You need to go to a high-end British restaurant where you can taste British food that is not so bad.”
The British chef's last self-deprecating sentence made people laugh, and also made Fang Ze and others feel a lot better about him.
He doesn't look like an arrogant and mean person.
"The competition time is coming soon, aren't your dishes ready yet?" The British chef pointed to Liu Pleiades who was still arranging the dishes.
Fang Ze took a look at Liu Pleiades' progress and estimated that he would be fine soon. He quickly found a large cover and a piece of red cloth. When Liu Pleiades put down the last Ruyi dish, Fang Ze found the cover on top of the plate and blocked it. He picked up the phoenix crystal, then covered it with a piece of red cloth, and forcibly packaged a Chinese delicacy to look like Western food.
Many judges on the stage who had just been contaminated by chocolate eggplant looked a little confused at Fang Ze's actions. After all, we can all see you when you are cooking and placing the dishes. What is the use of putting a cover on now? It won't give people a sense of freshness.
Apart from Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades, only Mimi here knew that Fang Ze's purpose was to block the light blooming from the food.
"Do you have any misunderstanding about Chinese hot pot?" While Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades were bringing up the Phoenix Crystal, Lin Xiaoxin looked at the British chef and asked, "What you said about our hot pot just now makes me very happy. unhappy."
"I said these words when I was in the UK before." The British chef said very honestly, "But I said them on impulse after eating at a Chinese hot pot restaurant. It's not my fault, that hot pot restaurant Their yuba seems to have tons of preservatives in it, and the handmade noodles taste the same as instant noodles, which is very unpalatable, so I said those things.”
