The chefs participating in the Super Chef Competition are all of the world's top level chefs. It can be said that each one of them is one in ten thousand, but there are also good and bad among them. Five hundred and forty people entered the island to participate in the rematch. When the competition reached the fifth game, only forty people were left. Each of these forty people can be said to be a person with superb cooking skills.
Only a few are worthy of the title - such as Sister Han, and most of the others are super chefs with real talents.
At this point Ye Chui had no choice but to get serious.
So when facing Walter, Ye Chui took out his treasured Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup.
The origin of this soup comes from the time when the old lady of the Lin family took Lin Wei to the Zhuangyan Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. In order to rescue Lin Wei from the temple, Ye Cui spent three days cooking the pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall outside the temple.
This pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made all the monks in the temple excited and they lost their minds from chanting Buddha's name. Naturally, Ye Chui achieved his goal. Most of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were sold out, but the remaining gravy was saved by Ye Chui.
In order to maintain the activity of the marinades, Ye Chui cooks and processes them every day and replenishes ingredients. In this way, this marinade has lasted until now - don't say that the marinade has been preserved for a long time. In fact, this is nothing. Aged marinades can be preserved for decades. The longer the preservation time, the mellower the taste of the marinade. The marinade that Ye Chui took out is actually not the most perfect.
Of course, this is compared with those marinades that have been aged for a very long time. In fact, the marinade in Ye Chui's hand can definitely be regarded as a top-quality marinade.
The competition was on the second day. Since each group only had to play three games, all ten groups competed at the same time. Ye Chui's competition time overlapped with Qin Yiyue and Tian Xiaodu, while Han Yuyan's competition was staggered with everyone else's in the morning.
So when Ye Chui entered the competition venue, Han Yuyan, Chen Tian, and Lin Wei accompanied him outside the competition venue. Because most of the chefs had been eliminated, there were many more people watching than usual. Ye Chui was also a seeded player in this cooking competition, so there were even more people interested in him, and the competition venue was almost completely blocked.
Ye Chui and the bald American chef Walter entered the arena.
Lin Wei, Han Yuyan and Chen Tian all looked worried.
"Sister Chen Tian, do you know this Walter?" Lin Wei asked Chen Tian. Chen Tian is more or less a famous chef in Chinatown, so he should know this American chef, right
"This Walter can be said to be a legendary figure..." Chen Tian said thoughtfully, "He is a chemist, a very good one. He originally co-founded a chemical products company with others, and the prospects were bright. But because he had a disagreement with his partner, he parted ways and left the company. Unexpectedly, the current market value of that company has reached billions. Walter has been very lonely for the next few years. After getting married and having children, his son is still a cerebral palsy patient. In the year when the vegetarian movement ended, he was diagnosed with cancer to make matters worse."
After hearing these descriptions, Lin Wei and Han Yuyan were both moved: "This person is indeed very unfortunate."
"At that time, he was just a high school chemistry teacher with a low income, and his wife happened to be pregnant. Life was really an indescribable IOU." Chen Tian continued, "The day he learned that he had cancer, he made a decision. For the sake of his wife, son and unborn child, he resolutely resigned and used the chemistry knowledge he learned to start cooking research, perfectly combining cooking and chemistry."
Lin Wei and Han Yuyan were stunned: "So... it's molecular cuisine?"
"That's right, Walter is the founder of molecular cuisine!" Chen Tian revealed the bombshell, paused, and continued, "He used molecular cuisine to open a chain of restaurants, the famous Heisenberg. In just a few years, this chain has spread across the United States. It has created more than hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for Walter."
"What about his cancer?" Lin Wei was very concerned about this issue.
"He is now in the advanced stage of cancer, but... he was already in the advanced stage of cancer three years ago. I don't know if it's because of the development of medical care or his own tenacity, but he has persisted until now." Speaking of this, Chen Tian even had some admiration.
This is indeed an admirable chef - although his molecular cuisine is not admirable at all.
Han Yuyan looked at Chen Tian and couldn’t help asking, “Sister Chen Tian. How do you know Walter so well?”
Chen Tian couldn't help but smile. "His experiences have been made into a TV series called Chef, which is known as the best TV series in the United States. Now Walter has another nickname, Chef, because he could die at any time. I have a complete set of Blu-ray discs. If you want to watch it, I can give it to you."
"Yeah." Lin Wei and Han Yuyan nodded one after another. After hearing what Chen Tian said, they were really interested.
On the field, Chinese Food God Ye Chui and Deathly Chef Walter have already started cooking their own dishes.
Royal marinated beef vs herb-crusted American steak.
What made everyone around them feel interesting was that after the two of them finished cooking the beef, they both took out a small bottle at the same time. Ye Chui looked at Walter, and Walter also looked at Ye Chui. Both of them had strange expressions. After a moment, Walter laughed and shook the small bottle in his hand: "Do you know what this is?" he asked in English.
Ye Chui looked at the small bottle with interest.
"This is parsley juice. I use a high-precision distillation machine to extract the essence from parsley. Its fragrance is even stronger than perfume. This bottle is worth up to three hundred thousand." Walter said with a smile, and then looked at the small bottle in Ye Chui's hand.
Ye Chui smiled and introduced in somewhat stiff English: "This is the marinade. It comes from the soup of a famous Chinese dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It has been simmered for more than a year. It has a mellow and rich aroma and has the best flavor."
“No…” Walter shook his head, “Even if it is boiled for too long, there will be a lot of impurities mixed in and the taste will not be authentic enough.”
"Cooking does not require pure ingredients. Some of your so-called impurities can also be used to adjust the taste." Ye Chui said with a smile.
Walter also laughed: “I heard that my apprentice Peng Song was defeated by you in Chinatown. It seems that the honor of molecular cuisine depends on me to take it back.”
"Peng Song?" Ye Chui smiled slightly, "Okay, I also want to experience your molecular cuisine."
The nature of this competition has quietly changed, from a battle of dishes to a battle between authentic cooking and molecular cuisine.
In other words, it is a battle between Buddha Jumps Over the Wall sauce and the fragrance of the fragrant basil. (~^~)
PS: Those who have watched Breaking Bad should be very familiar with Walter. Heisenberg, middle-aged cancer, cerebral palsy son, etc. are all plots in Breaking Bad, and I added them to the chef~~~~~~~When this book is finished, I wonder if I should write a Breaking Bad spin-off of about 10,000 words. It should be quite interesting~~~~
