Chapter 434 Cooking Feast (1)
"Um!!!"
Just as he put the salad in his mouth, Hoffman suddenly opened his eyes wide.
What a refreshing taste!
The soft and glutinous mashed potatoes melt in your mouth, the stimulation of pepper, the richness of cream, the salty aroma of bacon, the sweetness of protein, and the specially treated duck meat have no fishy smell of duck meat, but it has a special texture like a floss.
After eating it into the mouth, not only did the appetite not relieved, but more saliva was secreted from the mouth.
The body is automatically urging the judges to taste the next dish.
"How did this happen!"
Hoffman looked shocked.
Qian Chen raised his finger in front of his mouth and smiled mysteriously with an unfathomable face.
"Please allow me to keep it a secret. Next, after tasting two dishes, I will reveal the answers to you."
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Qian Chen's pretentiousness, what could Hoffman do in order to continue to taste the food he had never tasted before? Of course, he chose to forgive him.
As for Chief Helena and Princess Josephine, they did not object, and they waited obediently for Qian Chen to eat.
So the second dish was also placed in front of the judge.
The second dish is soup.
"Winter melon duck bone soup, please try it."
“This is a Chinese soup!?”
Hoffman showed a look of surprise and doubt.
I saw a few transparent slices of winter melon floating on the light white translucent soup, as if there were a few pieces of glass on the soup, and a small pinch of chopped chopped green onions piled in the center.
The unique fragrance of the soup made from duck bones slowly dissipates.
Judging from the appearance, it is definitely in line with the characteristics of elegant French cuisine.
In addition to these ingredients, other things such as boiled duck bones, duck meat, and floating powder have been filtered.
French soups are divided into two types according to their taste: thick soup and clear soup. The soups include cream soup, pumpkin soup, clear soups include seafood soup, partridge soup, etc.
According to the division, this should be a kind of clear soup.
Hoffman picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of clear soup and put it in his mouth.
The soup instantly melted on the tip of his tongue. The refreshingness of the winter melon and the deliciousness of the duck bones bloomed in his mouth at the same time.
After filtering, the duck oil was filtered out along with the impurities. Coupled with the refreshing winter melon, the light saltiness, the soup did not appear rich and greasy at all.
With just one mouthful, Hoffman felt his stomach warm.
However, since Qian Chen only added a little salt as seasoning, this faint salty taste aroused Hoffman's appetite.
He picked up the soup bowl, drank the soup in one breath, and then looked at Qian Chen with his eyes as if he was talking.
‘What is the next dish?’
Qian Chen did not let him wait for a long time.
The third dish is hot and appetizer.
"Sliced duck with blueberry jam, please taste it!"
Baked into a maroon, the crystal clear duck skin reflects a bright luster under the light, and a small dish next to it contains dark blue translucent blueberry jam.
Fruits of fruity fragrance came from the duck skin.
Hoffman was about to use a fork, but he didn't expect the tip to be stuck in the duck skin.
Click!
The duck skin actually broke open like puffed potato chips!
‘It’s so crispy!?’
In amazement, Qian Chen handed him a pair of chopsticks.
"If you don't mind, it's more convenient to taste this dish with chopsticks..."
Hoffman looked at the duck skin that was broken into several pieces, glanced at the chopsticks beside him, and he had already picked up the chopsticks! The two women who were feasting, gritted their teeth and took the chopsticks.
Although using chopsticks at French banquets is a bit unruly, Hoffman doesn't care about so much in order to taste the delicious food.
Hoffman picked up a piece of duck skin with chopsticks, but did not put it in his mouth immediately, but placed it in front of him and looked at it.
The duck skin was so clean that there was not even a trace of duck meat left on it.
Hoffman couldn't help but sigh.
"The knife skills of your Celestial Chefs are always so shocking. I think among my peers, there will never be anyone who has better knife skills than you."
Qian Chen smiled slightly, as if he had agreed to his statement.
Just compared to knife skills, let alone French peers, even their own peers, he is still a top-ranked person.
The orange knife technique is so confident.
In terms of grade alone, orange cooking skills are already a skill that can only be mastered by the king.
"Then let me taste the peak sword technique of the chef of the Celestial Dynasty!"
After saying that, Hoffmann dipped the roast duck skin into a little blueberry sauce and put the roast duck skin into his mouth.
Click!
With a slight bite of the teeth, the duck skin suddenly shattered, and a strong aroma of fruit wood and the roasted duck fat scent rushed straight into the nose!
Paired with sour and sweet blueberry sauce.
"tasty!"
Hoffman couldn't help but shout.
Just a piece of roast duck skin has a crispy texture, a rich aroma, and a fat but not greasy taste.
The delicious place can't stop at all!
Hoffman clamped the roast duck skin like potato chips, and then threw it into his mouth.
After all, duck skin is not potato chips. A duck is that big, how much roast duck skin can be produced?
After a short while, when Hoffman stretched his chopsticks to the plate in front of him again, he made a sound of the collision between the chopsticks and the empty plate.
"What!? That's gone!?"
Hoffman shouted dissatisfiedly.
Princess Josephine next to her also spoke.
"Chef Qian Chen's dish is too small. How can I eat this little bit of food~"
However, Princess Josephine couldn't help but bring a coquettish tone as she spoke, and she didn't even notice this.
After hearing Princess Josephine's voice, Matthews, who was wearing iron fist gloves, couldn't help but clench his palms, making a crackling sound.
Coincidentally, the stage lighting engineer didn't know what he thought, and a green light shone on Matthews' helmet. From a distance, it seemed that his helmet was emitting green fluorescent...
Although President Helena didn't say anything, the meaning in her eyes was obviously complaining that the dish was too small.
Qian Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. This dish wanted to completely separate the duck meat and duck skin, and the thickness of the duck skin was only one or two millimeters. In addition, the whole duck was only that big, so the portion naturally looked smaller.
In addition, there was a dish to be served later, so Qian Chen not only did not increase the amount, but also reduced it appropriately, and only took away the best part of all the roast duck skins, shape, color and heat.
So the roast duck skin brought up was only larger than the palm.
Seeing Qian Chen showing dismay, Prime Minister Hoffman smiled.
"Okay, we won't make things difficult for you anymore.
Chapter completed!
