Chapter 351: The Romantics
Han Jiayi smiled at him with a pursed lips, with a hint of tenderness and dignity in sweetness, which was particularly charming.
She adjusted her expression, then brought her pre-dinner wine to everyone, and smiled and said, "This pre-dinner wine is called 'our meeting'."
"Tsk..." Bai Renzong frowned and hooked his finger at Han Jiayi, then scraped her nose hard after she came over. "Can you be more serious in this kind of show?"
"What, then you can even scratch someone's nose in this kind of show..." Han Jiayi said aggrievedly, covering her nose.
Bai Renzong glared at her, then looked at the cocktail in front of him, which was obviously layered, with red above and green below.
Although Bai Renzong was a little concerned, he still picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "The cocktail on the top is made of osmanthus wine as the base, with a sweet taste and a light spicy taste in his mouth; the cocktail on the bottom is based on wine, with cinnamon and vanilla added, which can taste a strong aroma, accompanied by a very light astringent and bitter taste..."
Speaking of this, Bai Renzong held his chin and looked at Han Jiayi and smiled: "Why is this cocktail 'our encounter'? I can understand that part of you, but what about me? Why is it wine?"
The osmanthus wine used in the "Han Mumu" part, and Han Jiayi's body fragrance is the osmanthus fragrance.
The seemingly delicate and gentle osmanthus wine, with some chili and pepper added to add a spiciness, the feeling was like Han Jiayi who was gentle and sweet on the surface, but in fact, she had a hint of stinginess and unyielding defeat.
"Because this is my husband." Han Jiayi smiled happily, "A person who looks gentle is actually very connotation and depth, but his mouth is very poisonous. Although it is a bit bitter, it makes people unable to stop."
"So that's the case." Bai Renzong smiled, "Indeed, considering our first meeting, it's quite vivid."
"Ahem." Rossini Salerno cleared his throat. "From the perspective of a bystander, he tasted this pre-dinner wine without knowing the stories of the two. There is no doubt that it is also a very excellent pre-dinner wine. It contrasts sweetness with bitterness, spicyness and sourness with sharpness, and the most wonderful thing is the temperature difference of this cocktail."
"Not bad." Alan Robbs nodded, "The wine above is room temperature, while the wine below is ice. This is really the finishing touch. Cocktail layering is very common, but this obvious temperature difference is very special."
"Yes, the first sip is clear in layers, but when you take a second sip, you can feel that the two layers are integrated." Sato Ryoto praised, "I think this glass of wine is indeed a combination of two people with distinct personalities."
Han Jiayi blushed slightly. After all, she made this cocktail in front of so many people, which symbolized the encounter between them, just like a affectionate confession made by Bai Renzong in front of all the people watching the show.
"Silly girl..." Bai Renzong smiled, "Okay, let's go ahead."
As for the appetizer, Han Jiayi brought out the "rainbow".
In fact, Bai Renzong had already guessed that Han Jiayi would bring out her life package before.
But this life package is different from what Han Jiayi has done before, and has changed a little.
"Oh, French vegetable frozen." Alan Robbs exclaimed, "This shape, and this special color... is as gorgeous as a rainbow. What a beautiful color. You know it is an excellent vegetable frozen without eating."
Bai Renzong explained here: "To explain, this dish is actually called terrine in French cuisine. This dish is made of meat and vegetarian. The meat is made of duck and chicken, and the vegetarian one is what everyone knows about vegetable jelly and fruit jelly. The vegetable jelly mentioned by Mr. Robs is actually terrine. But in fact, the vegetable jelly made by Mumu is not only vegetables, but also fruits, so everyone just needs to know this."
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple, each one is made of the corresponding combination of vegetables and fruits.
After one bite, the mouth is filled with the wonderful sour and sweet taste provided by vegetables and fruits. The distinctive taste and taste instantly open up people's appetite.
"This portion control is just right," Alan Robbs frowned. "It turns out that the shape of a rainbow is not just for the appearance, but the basic taste of 'red' sweet and sourness and sourness is added to the back for embellishment."
"It's not the same as traditional French vegetable jelly," Rossini Salerno said carefully. "Although vegetables are added, the soup base is made of juice instead of traditional yogurt and chicken soup. On the one hand, this enriches the taste level of this French jelly with the unique aroma and sweetness of the fruit, and on the other hand, it also makes the color of the French jelly more vivid."
Sato Ryoto tasted it one by one and exclaimed: "The red ones are strawberries and currants, the orange ones are carrots and mangoes, the yellow ones are pumpkins and corn, the green ones are broccoli and kiwis, the blue ones are okra and cantaloupe, the blue ones are butterfly beans and blueberries, and the purple ones are purple cabbage and grapes... What a wonderful combination. The creativity of this dish is simply amazing."
"It's really... a very bold and beautiful innovation based on tradition!" Alan Robbs also praised it.
Han Jiayi blinked at Bai Renzong and secretly reached out to compete with him with a "v".
Then there was the soup, and what Han Jiayi brought it to was naturally the "sunny glow". There were some egg tight floating on the surface of the red tomato soup, which looked like half of the sky reflected by the sunset.
When I saw this soup, the judges actually seemed a little worried: the French vegetable jelly in the previous dish was originally mainly sour, but now I am serving this soup again. Is it really okay? Too much sour flavors will only make people feel tired. Although Han Jiayi adjusted the ingredients of the "rainbow" and replaced the tomato with currants and strawberries, the overall taste was still mainly sour.
However, after everyone took a sip, they sighed at the same time: "Wow..."
"This wonderful sweetness!" Rossini Salerno, "I can't taste any sourness of tomatoes at all, only that special sweetness and the salty aroma of chicken... How can I completely eliminate the sourness of tomatoes? It's incredible!"
"Ah..." Sato Ryoto closed his eyes and looked intoxicated. "After drinking it, I felt warm in my stomach for some reason, and I felt healed. If I was sick, I would definitely want to drink a bowl of soup like this."
"Stop keeping it aside, tell us these old guys, how did it do it?" Alan Robbs smiled with interest, "How did you eliminate the sour smell in the tomato?"
"Actually it's just the noodle soup." Han Jiayi smiled with a pursed lips, "The alkali in the noodles neutralizes the organic acid in tomatoes, which makes the taste softer and can protect the stomach. It was what my husband and I thought of together."
Bai Renzong smiled and glared at Han Jiayi, throwing a look of "You are just likable".
Han Jiayi blinked at him and replied with an expression like "I'm your wife."
"What a romantic and creative idea." Rosini Salerno laughed. "Whether this special appearance or the love story of both of you makes this dish more delicious! I like this kid!"
"Indeed, it has a very romantic look and meaning." Alan Robbs pointed at Han Jiayi and smiled: "France is the capital of romanticism. Child, you will definitely be very popular in France."
"Hmph." Han Jiayi was a little proud. Seeing this, Bai Renzong urged: "Okay, next one."
So, Han Jiayi brought out her side dish: "Winter Memories."
As soon as this dish was on stage, the special look attracted the judges' attention: there were three chubby snowmen piled on the white snow, which reminded people of the scene of building snowmen with their family in winter.
"Oh, how beautiful." Rosini Salerno exclaimed, "Is this girl just a two-star Michelin chef? What are these Michelin idiots doing? Why are such talents buried?"
"Let's try it first." Alan Robbs replied, scooping up a snowman and snatching it in one bite.
"The snow below is a 'cod mousse' made with a freezing crusher, and the snowman above is two shrimp meatballs. The small one is pure shrimp meat, and the large one is sandwich inside, which is shrimp brain... three ingredients, which gradually enhance the umami flavor in the mouth."
"The second snowman is made of octopus, and the filling is added with octopus eggs!" Sato Ryoto exclaimed, "I didn't expect that in addition to the chefs in our country, there are people who can use octopus eggs to cook... This silky texture is a wonderful taste when paired with the fresh sweetness of octopus..."
"The third snowman is made of crab meat, and the sandwich inside is crab roe." Rossini Salerno explained. "This dish really perfectly explains what 'layer' is. It progresses layer by layer, from the lightest cod mousse to shrimp meatballs, and then adds shrimp brains to gradually enhance the taste of seafood, so that you can taste the 'fresh' of this ingredient more and more clearly."
"This dish gives people the feeling..." Sato Ryoto pondered for a while and said, "What is seafood? This is seafood."
"You girl." Alan Robbs pointed at Han Jiayi and smiled, "This creative and delicate cooking technique is definitely at the top of the world. Why is it just a two-star Michelin chef? It seems that these Michelin guys are really getting lower and lower levels, and they actually missed such an excellent chef."
Bai Renzong kept smiling but not speaking. So far, Han Jiayi brought all the dishes she had made before, but it was only the first time she showed them in front of the public.
Next, the main dish that will be served is something that Bai Renzong had never seen before. Han Jiayi only thought of recently, the last "main dish" in her life set meal.
