Rebirth: I Didn't Expect to Be a Scholar

Chapter 86

The venue of the competition was set up in City B, the capital of Huaguo. The International Food Competition can be said to be the second grand event after the International Games. Although there are many international events such as literary exchanges and technology competitions, these are not as good as food To be down-to-earth, there is an old saying in Huaguo that "food is the most important thing for the people". This sentence is exactly the Chinese people's view on eating.

Chinese people and foreigners have different perceptions of the world. When foreigners see an unknown creature, what they think about is how to study and dissect it.

But when the Hua people see an unknown creature, what they think in their heads is whether it can be eaten?how to eat?Is it yummy?

Therefore, foreign cuisines come and go, but there are only a hundred kinds, and there are 108 kinds of cooking methods in Huaguo, not to mention trivial ones.In the north and south of Huaguo, there are eight main cuisines, and there are dozens of subdivided cuisines. Each cuisine has thousands of dishes. When all the cuisines are added together, there are tens of thousands of cuisines in Huaguo.

So there is a completely different attitude towards "eating" between Chinese people and foreigners.

The attitude of foreigners towards food is that it is only used to fill their stomachs so that they can have strength to develop and do things. "Eat" for them is to survive.

However, Chinese people's "eating" is not just to fill their stomachs. For them, "eating" is a kind of possession, a state of mind, an orientation, a way of life and a basic attitude towards the world.

Therefore, the international food competition may not be an important competition for other countries, but for Huaguo, it is a national celebration and the focus of the entire Huaguo.

The venue for the competition was set up at the National Stadium in the capital. This venue once held an international sports meeting, with 1 fixed seats and 10 temporary seats. Counting the number of people standing in the aisle, it can accommodate [-] people.

As soon as the tickets for the finals of the National Food Competition went on sale, they were all sold out within an hour.

At the end of March, audiences from all over the country rushed to city b, waiting for the finals at [-] pm on April [-]th.

The games will be broadcast live on national television channels, with footage appearing online the next day.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yanming went to the National Stadium to report in advance, and was arranged by the staff to wait in the waiting room.

There are more than a dozen contestants sitting in the waiting room, from various countries, no one speaks to each other, they all silently stare at the TV on the wall, the precautions for watching the game, they do not communicate, on the one hand because of the language barrier, on the other hand they are not familiar with each other Rival, hostile.

After reading the precautions, Liu Yanming lowered his head and quietly thought about how his dishes could be improved.

A burst of laughter came from outside the door, the door was pushed open, and two chatting Huaguo chefs walked in.

The two Hua Guo chefs saw Liu Yanming at a glance, and walked over with smiles all over their faces, "Hello, Ah Ming, I'm Li Jiajun!" "Hello, Ah Ming, I'm Liao Wenyi."

Liu Yanming immediately stood up, shook hands with them respectively, and said with a smile, "Hello! Nice to meet you."

Li Jiajun turned his head to look at the other contestants, then immediately approached him, and said in a low voice, "There are thirteen contestants in the finals this time, three from country Hua and country r each, two from country m and country y, and two from country h. Country t, country a, and country a each have one."

Liao Wenyi also leaned over, and whispered nervously, "Everyone knows the theme of this competition, and it must be created by ourselves. The four countries of country h, country a, country y, and country M are nothing to be afraid of. The food culture of China is doomed not to be able to create distinctive dishes. Among them, the contestants from country r and country t should not be underestimated, especially country r. Their dishes are exquisite and taste good. The most important thing is that their brain circuits are unique and they can imagine many wonderful things cuisine."

After hearing what the two said, Liu Yanming couldn't help laughing and said, "Why did you tell me this?"

Li Jiajun smiled toothlessly, "We are all from Huaguo. In this kind of international food competition, I will only be willing to win the first place in this kind of international food competition. Huaguo on the tip of my tongue can't be called for nothing!"

After hearing these words, Liu Yanming's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he said with a smile, "To win glory for the country!"

Liao Wenyi and Li Jiajun nodded their heads solemnly, and said seriously: "Yes! Win glory for the country!"

At seven o'clock, the opening ceremony ended, and the auditorium was crowded with people. All the contestants put on white chef uniforms and chef hats, and entered the venue one by one.

"what!!!"

Wang Moer saw his idol Ah Ming on TV, and couldn't help screaming, wishing to put his face on the TV.

"Mo Mo! Sit down, you are blocking the TV!" His mother pulled him back from the TV to the sofa.

Wang Moer sat on the sofa, with his legs together, his hands on his knees, looking cute, his eyes fixed on the TV screen.

Players from other countries were all shot in passing, but Liu Yanming and the two Chinese chefs next to him kept appearing in the camera.

Cheers came from the TV. Listen carefully, and besides most people shouting "Huaguo will win", there are also many people shouting "A Ming", "Jia Jun", and "Literature and Art".

The entire stadium is lit with 15 yuan big screens, of which 13 yuan big screens correspond to a player, and the big screen playing Liu Yanming is just in the middle. The audience, of course, chose the handsome and handsome young man, not to mention that most of the audience knew Ah Ming.

Amid the cheers, the contestants walked to their seats. Liu Yanming was observing the cooking table, and when he looked up, he saw a camera pointed at him.

He smiled slightly at the camera, and turned to look at the five judges on the rostrum.

He didn't know how much harm his smile caused to the audience watching the big screen and the audience in front of the TV.

"hiss"

Wang Moer and his mother couldn't help covering their chests, their hearts were beating too fast, and they would pop out if they didn't cover them again!

The chairman of the Huaguo Food Committee held a microphone and announced loudly: "The theme of this final is life! You can only make your own, and it will take no more than two hours. After making it, press the button and the staff will present it!"

The audience was in an uproar and cheered excitedly.

Liu Yanming's eyes were bent into crescent moons, as expected.

The competition started, and he slowly selected the ingredients he needed in the ingredients area. Some players were still thinking hard, and some players had already shown their confidence. Li Jiajun and Liao Wenyi were both the latter, and they were also choosing in a leisurely manner. Good ingredients.

I have to say that the thirteen contestants who were able to stand out from more than 3000 people and successfully entered the finals were all capable and talented people. Within five or six minutes, the thirteen contestants had already selected their ingredients. Back to the cooking table.

Liu Yanming soaked his hands in the pool, and slightly closed his eyes.

Dad, Mom, Cheng Min, Kong Shi, Wang Chengzheng

family, love, friendship

The shortcomings of the previous life, the fulfillment of this life.

He opened his eyes, exhaled a foul breath, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, picked up the ingredients and started cleaning.

The audience exclaimed in amazement at the contestants' knife skills. The thirteen large screens dazzled them and made them unable to see.

Compared with the quickness and agility of other players, Liu Yanming's side seemed to be taking a slow pace, without any sense of urgency.

The audience who were not Ming fans were nervous for him, but the audience who were Ming fans were full of confidence in him.

In Ming Fan's eyes, no matter what angle you look at him, you can use the word "jun" to describe him.

As soon as the TV screen switched to other players, Wang Moer frowned, and as soon as it switched to A Ming, he showed a sweet smile.

His mother saw for the first time the speed at which her son's face changed.

Liu Yanming cut tuna, lobster meat, and oysters into diced meat, put them in a pounding pot, and pounded them into a puree with a pounding mallet.

He added materials while pounding, and pounded continuously for more than half an hour. If the other hand was not pouring ingredients in, the audience would have thought that there was something wrong with the big screen.

Wang Moer's mother was a little worried, "He has been pounding for more than half an hour, won't his hands be sore?"

Wang Moer pursed his lips and did not say a word, expecting and worrying in his heart.

Liu Yanming stopped pounding the meat and began to proceed to the next step.

The audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, he finally stopped messing around!

Liu Yanming put the meat paste balls in a bowl, soaked them in ginger and cooking wine, put the pot on the stove to boil water, and cut the Kobe beef into cubes with a kitchen knife.

After the water boiled, he put the pulp of matsutake and mangosteen into the pot, covered the pot, put the diced beef into the pounder, and continued to pound it with a pounder.

Audience: Why did you start messing around again?

Liu Yanming pounded faster and faster, and the beef mashed was as soft as water. He pounded for about 10 minutes this time and then stopped.Take the seafood meat paste out of the cooking wine, squeeze the cooking wine out of the meat paste with both hands, and knead the seafood meat paste into a ball.

His thumb and forefinger circled into a circle, and pinched out small balls on the ball.

The round balls were arranged in a row on the chopping board, and the audience called them "cute" when they saw them.

After all the balls turned into small round balls, he pinched a little beef paste and wrapped them around the small round balls.

The chubby little Yuantuan quickly put on the red coat, still looking exquisite and cute.

He washed the skin of the sweet melon, opened a round lid with a diameter of [-] centimeters at the base of the melon, dug out all the melon pulp inside, and put it into the pot where the soup was being boiled.

He put a few mint leaves in the melon, poured a spoonful of soup from the pot into the empty melon, held the melon stem with his hand, and put the round lid back on the melon.

Just as Liu Yanming put Xiaoyuantuan into the pot, the other contestants finished one after another, and the work was presented.After tasting, the judges scored and commented on the spot.

Seeing that all the contestants' works had been submitted, some audience members were in an uproar because only A Ming was still doing the carving in a leisurely manner.

"Why hasn't Ah Ming done it yet! He's the only one left."

"The time is not up yet, as long as it is completed within the specified time."

Liu Yanming poured the soup in the sweet melon into the pool, put the small carvings into the sweet melon, took out all the cooked small balls in the pot, put them in the sweet melon, sprinkled with vanilla powder, and covered the round lid .

"Is Ah Ming ready?"

"It should be. It looks quite ordinary, not as exciting as the ever-changing fish and dragons."

Liu Yanming shook the sweet melon, put his work on the round support in the tray, and pressed the button.

"It's finally done."

"I'm so nervous. The judges' evaluation of Li Jiajun and Liao Wenyi was so-so. I don't know what will happen to Ah Ming."

Wang Mo'er and his mother were nervous and looking forward to it, staring at the sweet melon being sent up, they could not help clasping their hands together as if praying.

Holding Xiao Xiaoming in her arms, Xu Xueqin nervously watched the round lid of the sweet melon being lifted.

Xiao Chengmin is very calm, he is full of confidence in his lover, he just wants to see his lover soon, and press him down hard

The country m judge next to the Hua country judge exclaimed, "(It smells so good!)"

The judges from country r nodded and seconded: "(Extraordinary fragrance, a bit like vanilla!)"

Hua Guo's judges glanced at Liu Yanming in the audience, and showed a faint smile. Among all the contestants, he was the one he liked the most.

As food chairpersons from various countries, when I come to China for the first time, I will learn how to use chopsticks. After a long time, I will become more and more proficient in using chopsticks.

The judges picked up their chopsticks one after another, picked up a small ball and put it into their mouths. Suddenly their eyes widened. After eating what was in their mouths, they picked up another ball and fed it into their mouths.

The judges from country r had a sore nose and burst into tears in public.

Hua Guo's judges were restrained, but their eyes were still red, and the other three judges shed tears.

The audience was in an uproar and started talking.

"Why are they crying?"

"Sure enough, it's Ah Ming, whose cooking can make the judges cry!"

"It must be delicious enough to cry!"

After a while, the judges from country r stabilized their mood, choked up and ate a few more balls.

After the sweet melon bottomed out, the Huaguo judges put down their chopsticks first, closed their eyes slightly, let out a long sigh of relief, opened their eyes after a while, and smiled at Liu Yanming: "What's the name of this touching dish?"

Liu Yanming smiled, "Consummation."

The audience was confused, but they applauded one after another, and the applause in the venue was thunderous.

"Consummation"

The Huaguo judge carefully tasted these two words, and suddenly laughed loudly: "That's right, isn't this the consummation?"

He turned around and told the other judges the name of this dish in four languages.

"(Consummation, this unspeakable touch turns out to be consummation. After eating this dish, life is worthwhile!)" the judges from country r commented while wiping away tears.

His comment was translated by Huaguo translator, and the audience applauded and cheered. This comment is the highest comment among all dishes so far.

This is the evaluation of Huaguo cuisine!
