Chapter 410: Breaking the Shackles

After savoring it carefully, Bai Renzong raised his eyebrows: "Is it tarragon?"

"It's worthy of being Brother Zong, so amazing." Cai Jia clapped her hands happily and said with a smile.

"You girl..." Bai Renzong frowned slightly, "Is this too bold? He actually uses tarragon in desserts like macarons. Should you say you do whatever you want, or should you say you can innovate?"

As he said that, Bai Renzong explained to the audience: "The spice of tarragon...it has the unique flavor of artemisia plants, like artemisia and artemisia pear, but it is not that heavy, and it looks more like a fragrance. This spice is usually used in meat, fish and soup to remove fishy smell, and it is really rare to use it in desserts..."

"Hmph..." Cai Jia smiled proudly, "It's not rare. French people often chop tarragon and add it to mayonnaise to make salads, sandwiches and the like, which is very Titian."

"Is this true?" Bai Renzong suddenly realized, "I really have a better understanding."

"This tarragon is indeed used very cleverly." Alan Robs pondered his chin, "especially when combined with matcha, the fragrance of tarragon and the slightly bitterness of matcha and the delicate texture of macarons completely eliminate the sweetness. Even if you don't need to eat it alone with black tea, it is a very delicious dessert. It is worthy of the title of "girl's crispy breasts."

"I really admire this girl more and more..." Rossini Salerno smiled with his arms in his arms, "Would you like to come to me as a chef? I will give you a better treatment."

"No, I want to stay in Beichang City." Cai Jia politely refused.

"Ha, it's really embarrassing." Zuoto Ryoto said with a smile, but it was more like hiding Rossini Salerno than teasing him.

"Okay, two chefs have served their own works now." Bai Renzong smiled expectantly, "But both of them use bitterness to relieve the sweetness in the dessert. In the works later, I hope to see some other methods. If they use bitterness, I think I will be a little disappointed."

"Of course not." Yang Hua said at this time, and took a step forward. "Using bitter taste to relieve sweet desserts is too low-level. I will not let my best friends eat such low-level works."

"Hmm?" Bai Renzong smiled with interest, "So, what is your work?"

"Pear crispy caramel pudding." Yang Hua smiled and placed the tray in his hand in front of everyone.

The caramel pudding on the plate looks a bit like an egg tart at first glance. The beautiful lace pie crust is custard in the middle, and there is a pear of strange shape on the surface, and it is burgundy.

But after a closer look, Bai Renzong realized that it was not a whole pear, but a terraced pear piled up with sliced ​​pears, which looked very similar to the stew of Provence in "The King of Ratatouille".

Moreover, after observing this, a rich and sweet fragrance came to the nose, carrying the fragrance of pears and the rich aroma of red wine in the middle, which aroused Bai Renzong's appetite at that time.

"Then... I'm not polite." Bai Renzong said, scooped up a spoonful of caramel pudding and ate it with a slice of pear crisps on it.

The pears themselves were stewed in red wine and should have been very soft and rotten, but the caramel on the surface condensed and formed a crisp and sticky texture. The aroma of pears and red wine will be full of food, while the pudding itself has almost no sweetness, only milky aroma.

Therefore, the main taste of this dessert comes from the sweetness of the pear itself, while the red wine and pudding just embellish the sweetness with the fragrance.

This use of the characteristics of the ingredients themselves and the sauce is the most powerful thing about Yang Hua.

"Ah, it's so delicious..." Zuo Teng Ryoto closed his eyes and felt almost crying. "This faint sweetness makes people unable to stop wanting to eat it all the time! Moreover, the pears stewed in red wine are not as rough and grainy as they taste more like cooked horse hooves. The taste is crispy but smooth. It's so delicious... Can I ask for another serving?"

"It's gone." Yang Hua replied calmly, then turned to Bai Renzong, "Of course, if you still want to eat Xiaobai, I can make another serving for you."

"Forget it, I have to taste other people's works." Bai Renzong smiled bitterly, "Of course, this pear crispy caramel pudding is indeed very excellent. There is no need to use other flavors to neutralize the sweetness, because the sweetness itself is already very elegant and soft, and it does not make people feel tired at all."

"I didn't expect that Chef Yang Hua is so good at desserts." Rossini Salerno said with a spoon in his mouth, as if he didn't even want to let go of the last sweetness on the spoon. "I want to tell me that Chef Yang Hua is definitely the one with the most stable performance among all the chefs on the scene."

"Similar." Alan Robbs echoed, "It's true that my personal style has been formed. No matter what cooking you cook, you can feel the strong personal style of Chef Yang Hua. It's admirable."

Everyone praised Yang Hua's desserts, and then Zhang Guanghan also presented his own works.

"This, this is..." Bai Renzong said in surprise as he looked at the dessert in the tray in front of him.

On the plate in front of me was a small and exquisite pink rose-like pastry, which looked a bit like Dingsheng cake at first glance, but it was decorated with a layer of fine cyan silk thread-like substance, and a circle of light orange sauce was poured around it.

This dessert is brightly colored and delicate and pink. No matter how you look, it looks like a Western-style dessert, very... Michelin style, it is hard to imagine that this is a work produced by Master Zhang Guanghan.

"Then try it." Bai Renzong smiled with interest, then cut off a small piece and ate it.

The pastry itself is delicate and dense. It is made by mixing taro paste with glutinous rice flour and almond flour. It is a bit like Dingsheng cake but is more moist, tastes dry and does not add sugar. It only relies on taro paste, glutinous rice flour and almond flour to provide sweetness.

The orange sauce is a syrup made with orange juice after watering. It is mainly sour and has a strong orange fragrance.

The "silk threads" on it are even more famous, and they are the famous "Dragon Beard Candy", and this Dragon Beard Candy is the main source of sweetness for this dessert.

"Oh, it's so awesome..." Bai Renzong couldn't help but praise, "After eating it, it was mainly the fragrance of taro. The orange syrup below provided a hint of sourness, while the dragon whisker crispy on top provided a sweetness, and the taste was extremely rich. At the same time, the toughness of the dragon whisker sugar and the slippery and delicate Dingsheng cake below formed a very special taste..."

As he said that, Bai Renzong applauded and said excitedly: "The taste and taste have a rich sense of layering. And although it is completely Michelin high-end dim sum, it is actually a 100% Chinese dim sum composed of Dingsheng cake and Longxuku. It is really amazing. Master, finally broke the constraints of Chinese and Western styles, and expressed this traditional Chinese dim sum in this...in an internationally compatible way!"

"Ah, I have to thank Mr. Bai for this show." Zhang Guanghan smiled humbly, "Come to participate in this show, collided with these young people, and experienced those new young technologies. I have learned a lot to create this dessert."

"No doubt, this is a snack that will never be inconsistent even in a Samsung Michelin restaurant." Rossini Salerno sighed, "It's amazing! Can I have another one?"

"This kind of craft is really amazing." Alan Robbs said, examining the dragon beard candy on it, "I originally thought it was made of sugar shreds, but after I got in the mouth, I found that it had a hint of toughness and chewiness, a bit like dragon beard noodles."

"Ah, this is because it was made with flour." Bai Renzong smiled, "So, it is indeed equivalent to a sweet dragon whisker noodles, but maltose is also given inside. It can be said that it is a combination of sugar and dragon whisker noodles."

"That's amazing." Alan Robbs smiled. "I want to learn this way of making dragon beard crisps, and guests will go crazy about it."

"Si Guoyi!" Zuo Teng Ryoto exclaimed, "It's so amazing! It turns out that desserts can be so amazing! Ah, I should take a photo and post it on Twitter first!"

"I think it's really rare to be able to make Chinese desserts at this level," Bai Renzong said seriously. "Because many Chinese desserts have a long history, but in ancient times, the supplies were relatively expensive and there were not so many advanced stoves, traditional Chinese desserts are often very sweet. It's really amazing that Master Zhang Guanghan can break this shackles, and I admire him."

"I think Mr. Bai is admirable." Zhang Guanghan said, and inadvertently glanced at Billy Chen who was staring at the side. "It was the program you founded that gave us chefs the opportunity to communicate, which allowed me to make progress at this age and also gave the whole world the opportunity to understand Chinese cuisine."

Then, Zhang Guanghan looked at Bai Renzong and smiled and said, "I hope you can persist in the program in the future. Maybe one day, you can help Chinese cuisine go all over the world. This is something that goes beyond the 'individual' and is more important than money and reputation. Short-sighted people who only focus on current interests will not see these."

Speaking of this, Zhang Guang glared at Billy Chen coldly, and then continued to smile: "I believe that as long as you are willing to continue doing this program, there will always be excellent representatives of Chinese cuisine culture to support you."

Zhang Guanghan's words undoubtedly encouraged Bai Renzong, and also mocked Billy Chen, who only valued interests.
