Chapter 421: Wonderful

"Beautiful..." Bai Renzong couldn't help but sigh, "This package is really, great."

First of all, Zhang Guanghan's set uses ingredients that are not commonly used abroad, such as hawthorn, peeled eggs, river fish, and pig ears. These are ingredients that foreigners will not touch. However, under Zhang Guanghan's cooking, these ingredients play a good role, fully reflecting the wisdom accumulation of Chinese people in this thousands of years of food culture.

Secondly, this set meal is really atmospheric. Starting from the side dishes, a dish covers various ingredients, such as concentrating various river foods and seafood in a "fish". The final main dish even puts a whole pig in a small fried dumpling, which is simply amazing.

Finally, this set meal is also fully displayed in an international way. It is not only the way to serve, but also the design of the dishes, which is completely in line with the Michelin style, and is also promoting Chinese cuisine.

This set meal completely allowed this group of foreigners to see the charm of Chinese cuisine, and made them understand that the ingredients they don’t usually eat are so delicious.

"Who said that this world belongs to young people? The elderly have not planned to abdicate yet." Bai Renzong said with a smile.

"Look, this is really..." Alan Robs held his chin and looked at the package in front of him, "opening my eyes."

"Indeed, whether it is cooking methods or the materials selected, I am amazed." Rossini Salerno also looked thoughtful. "Looking at this set meal, I think of the future of the food industry with unlimited possibilities."

"It's so happy to be able to participate in this show." Sato Ryoto sat happily at the table, shaking his head, like a child who had obtained the toy he liked.

"Cough cough." At this time, a light cough sounded, and Bai Renzong came to his senses.

"Okay, it's finally the last lovely contestant's turn." Bai Renzong said with a smile, "Please?"

Han Jiayi smiled shyly and came to him with a little shy look. She put her appetizer in front of him like a shy girl: "Eat, you have eaten so many set meals, eat something easy to digest."

"Oh, it's so cute." Bai Renzong smiled at the appetizer in front of him.

A cookie is placed with orange mousse and some small green particles, which looks particularly pink and fresh.

Bai Renzong picked up the biscuits and ate them. The mousse on it was made of pumpkin and bilberry, while the small green particles were chopped and marinated celery. These ingredients all help digestion, and the biscuits below were still whole wheat.

"The soft sweetness of pumpkin and the fresh aroma of bilberry, plus the pickled celery, is very appetizing. It can clear away the aftertaste of the previous dish, but..." Bai Renzong said, looking at Han Jiayi with a little distressed expression, "To be honest, you don't have to worry about me like this. I hope you can... not let me limit your performance."

"I'm just there." Han Jiayi smiled with a pursed lips, "It's to lay the groundwork for the next cooking."

"Okay." Bai Renzong picked up his arm and shook his head, "This girl is really..."

"The combination of pumpkin and bilberry...emm." Alan Robbs raised his eyebrows, "What should I say, it's just right that there is no crossing the line."

"Yes, this gentle sweetness and sourness will not make people feel like a dessert," Rossini Salerno nodded. "Even if it is a little sweeter, it will make people feel like a dessert. But with the help of this pickled celery, it has returned to the category of appetizers."

Next, Han Jiayi served her soup.

"Wow, this is really a bowl..." Sato Ryoto raised his eyebrows, "It's very dark soup..."

The bowl in front of me was a pure black soup, which seemed to be given cuttlefish sauce.

"This girl always surprises you, right? Maybe sometimes it's scared..." Sato Ryoto said with a brow raised, then scooped up a spoonful of black soup and tasted it, then exclaimed: "Squidfish sauce is amazing!"

Bai Renzong was not in a hurry to taste it. He checked the contents inside and then picked up some clams with shells. There was no doubt that this was an Irish clam chowder, but the soup looked very clear and had no viscosity, and obviously did not give the cream.

"But why add cuttlefish sauce?" Bai Renzong said in confusion, scooped up a spoonful and tasted it.

The word "fresh" shocked Bai Renzong's mind. This umami taste was completely different from the freshness of seafood, but came from the amino acids in cuttlefish sauce.

"Carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, garlic, clams, laurel, thyme..." Bai Renzong identified the ingredients inside, "From other ingredients, this is a complete clam chowder. The difference is that it uses cuttlefish sauce instead of cream. Although this will make the soup less sticky, the cuttlefish sauce unexpectedly turns into magic!"

"If you have to say it, it should be that the squid sauce and clams are perfectly matched." Rossini Salerno said with interest.

"Sometimes it's like this. If you don't throw these two characters together, you will never know they are so accompanied." Han Jiayi smiled, blinking at Bai Renzong mischievously, as if she was hinting at something.

"Don't be too proud too early." Bai Renzong glared at her, "What do you do with side dishes using cuttlefish sauce and clams to make soup?"

"Of course I have my idea." Han Jiayi snorted, turned around and served her side dishes on the stove and placed them in front of everyone. The plate was filled with a kind of pasta, which was a bit like bread crispy and had many layers.

"Seafood crispy box..." Bai Renzong said with interest, "This is the first time I have seen you make this."

"What are you doing? It's not that I can't do it." Han Jiayi said coquettishly, "Take it."

Bai Renzong nodded, picked up a portion and tasted it, and then took a "huff" bite, and the thick sauce overflowed from the crispy box.

"Look at you." Han Jiayi looked at Bai Renzong and smiled, then came forward to wipe the sauce at the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

"This taste is really..." Bai Renzong frowned, "How did you make this crispy box outside so crisp? This taste is simply amazing..."

"Do you remember the Guokui we ate in Xianshi when we went out for a trip?" Han Jiayi smiled.

"Ah!" Bai Renzong suddenly remembered, "Remember, when frying Guokui, he kept adding cold cooked oil, so that he could continue to fry at low temperatures, so that the shell of Guokui was crisper..."

"That's right, that's it." Han Jiayi smiled happily.

"So that's it..." Bai Renzong suddenly realized, "First of all, this pastry is perfect, and then it is made of lobster, fairy beans and cod as the main ingredients, with cream, cumin, thyme, dill to remove fishy smell, pepper, salt, and add brandy tangerine. This taste is completely different from the squid sauce clam chowder in the front."

Speaking of this, Bai Renzong frowned and said, "Why can these two umami flavors be so obvious?"

"Because," Alan Robbs next to him smiled, "this girl removed all the vegetables that should have been added to the seafood crisp box. I told me that this should be intentional, just to emphasize the deliciousness of seafood."

"That's right." Rosini Salerno nodded: "It will be very fishy to simply add so much seafood to the seafood crisp box without matching vegetables. However, under the prelude of a squid-sauce clam chowder in front, the fishy smell is eliminated, and all that is left is the strong and deliciousness of seafood, which is a very typical taste deception."

"It makes sense..." Sato Ryoto murmured with his chin, "This is really good, all kinds of details are full."

Finally, it was Han Jiayi's turn to serve as a main course. She placed the tray in front of everyone. The plate contained several portions of food similar to BJ roast duck. She rolled it with noodles and saw pork, pork skin and green onions.

"I hope it is more complicated than what I see." Bai Renzong frowned and glared at Han Jiayi, "because if I find it is just a simple pancake roll, I will teach you a lesson for the opportunistic naughty egg."

"Oh, no," Han Jiayi said coquettishly, "You will know after you eat it!"

Bai Renzong shrugged, picked up a pork roll and scallion and ate it, and then the rich aroma of pork exploded in his mouth.

"Crispy pork skin and soft and juicy pork, sweet noodle sauce..." Bai Renzong frowned as he carefully observed the content of the pancake, "Scallions and shredded cucumber... Strange, nothing special, why is there such a strong meaty aroma?"

"Hmph." Han Jiayi smiled proudly from the side.

Bai Renzong picked up his arm and said dissatisfiedly: "What did you do? Even my tongue was hidden? Say it quickly!"

"It's actually this sauce." Han Jiayi smiled happily, "It is made in a way similar to foie gras. I smashed the lard residue with a freezer and made into mousse. It tastes very similar to foie gras."

"Ah, no wonder I can't taste it... I was covered by the pork and pork skin inside." Bai Renzong frowned, "but this silky texture and rich pork fragrance are really unparalleled."

"What can I say?" Alan Robbs smiled with a gratified look on his arms, "As the last episode of this season, I can only describe it in one word..."

"Excellent." Rossini Salerno clapped his hands and said, "It's so wonderful. Everyone performed well and showed a very excellent package. Even for me, a veteran who has lived for decades, have been to hundreds of different restaurants. The package I have tasted today is definitely the best I have ever tasted. That's right, it's better than any package I've seen in the past!"

"I'm really looking forward to the next season's show." Sato Ryoto smiled, "I'm even willing to not charge the appearance fee, as long as I can eat these delicacies."

I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Bai Renzong smiled and thought to himself.
