Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 595 - Come on, Chinese style shock
Chen Guomin is one of the three judges. He has been working in the dessert industry for forty years and is a veritable dessert master.

He is also from Wuxi, a city that has been famous for its sweetness throughout history. He is certainly familiar with desserts, such as green rice dumplings, water chestnut cakes, coconut pastries, and osmanthus cakes. His specialty, plum blossom cakes, are even harder to come by.

He is obsessed with plum blossoms, so he knows all the plum blossom desserts.

He not only knew about vegetarian hangover ice cream, but had also personally made it many times. Every time an old friend visited in the winter, he would make this dessert to entertain him. However, the molds he used were all regular, and the desserts he made were also square. He never imagined that this dessert passed down from his ancestors could be made into the present. Moreover, this young man replaced the winter plum with ginger flower, which was undoubtedly an innovation.

The young man just now poured some transparent liquid on the sobering ice. If it were our ancestors, it would have been wine.

The literati and elegant people in the Song Dynasty all loved drinking. Pouring wine on this dessert and then eating it in one bite was definitely a very elegant thing to do.

But the sweet smell coming from under his nose told him that the final drizzle should be honey.

And this little bit of honey is the finishing touch.

Honey is relatively viscous, so it has good adhesion. It flows down the smooth and translucent petals, but leaves a thin layer of traces on the petals it passes through.

This makes the already lifelike petals seem to come alive in an instant and become vivid.

When the lights on the scene shone again, it reflected star-like spots of light, making people think at first glance that this little thing was made of crystal or even diamond.

Especially the small bunch of stamens at the top, which are golden, dazzling and moist.

foul!

This young man did not break the rules of the game, but he broke the rules of life!
Look at this beautiful vegetarian hangover ice cream in front of you. As long as the taste and texture are not too bad, your taste buds will automatically add a few points to it with the blessing of this beautiful appearance.

Such a delicate flower naturally requires a sophisticated mold. It is hard to imagine that the young man carved it out in less than an hour!

Isn't this cheating?

I heard that this young man is famous for his delicious cooking, so making desserts is just his hobby?

It was a mistake, it was a mistake after all. Why didn’t you give me such a great talent?
After reaching the top in almost every field, what really matters is no longer hard work and sweat, but talent. This young man's talent in desserts is enough to make all pastry chefs jealous.

"Incredible, incredible! How can this be called a dessert? This is simply a work of art."

"Damn it! After watching this, all the others seem so mediocre. None of them can even come close. This one is simply way ahead."

Listening to the other two judges' grumbling, Chen Guomin gave a wry laugh and echoed, "To be honest, before I saw the genius, I was thinking one would come out to dampen the enthusiasm of those foreigners. But now that a true genius has appeared before my eyes, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the old brothers. I'm really a little jealous."

Li Jiang and Dou Yueming exchanged a glance and laughed, "It's normal to be jealous. Who wouldn't be jealous of such talent? But fortunately, we're both almost sixty years old. If we had met him when we were younger, it's doubtful we would have been able to continue on this path."

"That's right. When you're young, you absolutely must avoid meeting someone too talented or brilliant. It can easily ruin your Dao heart. I hope these young people can adjust their mindset."

At this time, the contestants have completed their entries and stepped aside. The three judges walk up to the contestants' works in turn to observe and score them.

Although staying in front of a work for a long time does not necessarily mean it will be given a high score, it is really unreasonable not to give it a high score when it has grown to its current state.

These legs are like they have taken root!
Even if his desserts are unique in shape, even if his desserts are exquisite and tempting, even if his desserts look delicious...

Well, with so many advantages, it seems reasonable for the judges to look at it for a longer time?
The other contestants looked at Wang Fan's dessert, and then looked at him as if his dessert had grown on his face.

However, young people nowadays have much better psychological endurance. They will not be shocked by the fact that Wang Fan’s desserts are too good. They just want to explore how this pervert made these things.

The host, microphone in hand, followed the judges. Seeing they were still slow to act, he quickly called out, "We've noticed the three judges have been observing this dessert for quite some time. It seems they've been deeply impressed. I wonder if the next entries will also leave a fresh impression on them."

Chen Guomin came back to his senses after hearing this. He and his companions had indeed stayed here for too long.

And the most important thing is that I looked at it for a long time but didn’t say anything.

Seeing the host handing him the microphone, Chen Guomin smiled and said, "It's so hard to see a dessert made in China. I'm a little excited. Please forgive me. Next, let's try this dessert."

The audience around did not think there was anything wrong with the judges' words. The dessert made by Boss Wang was just that powerful.

The camera has already been pointed at the dessert. Just looking at it on the big screen makes it look extremely gorgeous. It would be strange if it is not fascinating when seen from such a close distance!
only……

"Did he just say he wanted to eat?"

"What a waste! How dare he eat such beautiful flowers?"

"How big of a heart would it take to destroy such a beautiful dessert?"

Chen Guomin didn't care what the audience thought. Although this vegetarian hangover ice was extremely exquisite, it was a dessert after all, and desserts were meant to be eaten. It would be a waste not to eat it.

Three spoons appeared at the same time, heading towards the location of Su Xinghang Binghua Rui with a clear goal.

The cameraman was also an expert. He quickly ran to the opposite side of the three judges and pointed the camera at the three spoons. On the big screen, the three spoons were seen getting bigger and bigger, and getting closer and closer to the ice crystal flower.

"No!"

"Stop it, damn it!"

"I, Shu Daoshan, stop right now!"

The sweet girls from Sichuan and Shu looked at the spoon that was getting bigger and bigger, and they felt like their flesh was being dug out.

"Click..."

This was certainly not the sound of Su Xingjiu's ice breaking, but the sound of the sweet girls from Sichuan and Shu's hearts breaking.

Such a juicy flower was scooped up by the judges with three spoonfuls of juice.

The pistil of the Su Xinghang Ice Flower was damaged and several petals were broken, but this not only did not reduce its beauty, but instead gave people a feeling of poignant beauty.

The three gourmets did not appreciate this work of art that looked like the Venus de Milo. Instead, they lifted the spoon and put it under their noses to smell it. A refreshing and sweet smell rushed into their nostrils.

"Ouch? It tastes like ginger and orange?"

The judges were too far away to see clearly as Wang Fan prepared the dessert. "Putting orange juice and orange pulp in a dessert is understandable, and so is pickled orange peel. But using ginger and fresh orange peel directly is truly audacious. Isn't he afraid that these two ingredients will ruin the overall flavor?"

While thinking, Chen Guomin had already put the spoon into his mouth.

"Well, he's not afraid..."

The moment the food entered his mouth, Chen Guomin had the answer in his mind.

Melting in the mouth can be both a decorative technique and a realistic record, and this vegetarian hangover ice is obviously the latter.

The moment the pistil in the spoon entered the mouth, it began to melt rapidly, so fast that even the honey stuck on it did not react.

The clear feeling is like snowflakes falling on the tip of your tongue, light and wonderful.

The melted vegetarian hangover ice is delicate and smooth, with a light fragrance and a cool touch without any graininess. It is like a stream of clear spring flowing in the mouth, moisturizing the throat and mouth, making the slightly dry throat instantly refreshed.

At this moment, the taste of ginger, orange peel and orange flesh finally arrived. The tiny particles were soaked in the sweet water made from the ice melted by the vegetarian hangover killer, making people chew them gently involuntarily.

The originally spicy ginger and bitter orange peel lost their sharpness after being wrapped in sweet water.

Mouth open!

When you press down with your teeth, the minced ginger and orange peel break into pieces, and a refreshing aroma unique to the plant family is released. The rich smell goes straight to the top of your head, and it feels as refreshing as if someone has lifted up your skull to ventilate it.

The aroma of japonica rice, ginger, orange peel, honey, and ginger flowers intertwined in the mouth. The unique taste made Chen Guomin, a knowledgeable industry leader, couldn't help but shiver in comfort.

The feeling can’t be described as pleasant, but it is very comfortable and cozy, which makes people involuntarily feel that they want more.

The beautiful host was waiting on the side, holding the microphone and waiting for the three judges to start commenting and explaining. However, after waiting for a long time, she found that the three judges had been closing their eyes and eating the food sweetly, one bite at a time. They had finished eating a beautiful crystal flower, but they were still scooping out the soup in the bowl to drink it with relish.

"You guys are going too far! It's so awkward just standing there. Don't all close your eyes! Anyone can say something!"

The host roared inwardly, but a professional smile hung on his face. Seeing that the three still had no intention of speaking, he quickly asked in a low voice, "Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen?"

"Ok?"

Chen Guomin came back to his senses slightly, opened his somewhat blurry eyes, and looked at the host in confusion.

"Teacher Chen, I see you're enjoying your meal. Is it because this dessert is really to your liking?"

"Ah? Oh..."

Chen Guomin finally came to his senses, cleared his throat, and said, "Ah...yes, that's right, this vegetarian hangover shaver is indeed one of my favorite desserts."

"Vegetarian hangover ice?"

"Did you mean the name of this dessert is 'Vegetarian Hangover Ice'?"

Chen Guomin nodded and said, "Yes, this dessert is recorded in Lin Hong's "Shan Jia Qing Gong" from the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty often used flowers to flavor dishes, and this dessert can be said to be one of the essences of this book."

The host said, as if suddenly enlightened, "So what do you think of Mr. Wang's dessert? Does it live up to the standards described in ancient books?"

Chen Guomin looked at Wang Fan and smiled. "To be honest, I often make this dessert, but I never thought it could be so beautifully shaped." And because it was out of season, he replaced the winter plums with ginger flowers, giving the dessert a more refreshing flavor. One bite of it even felt like a revelation.

For a moment, I felt as if I had crossed the river of time, chatting with the ancients, admiring flowers and drinking wine."

The host was surprised and said, "Oh, I seem to hear the praise in Teacher Chen's words. Does this mean that this vegetarian hangover shaver will get a high score from you?"

Chen Guomin made no secret of his admiration and love for this dessert: "Whether it's the theme, the creativity, or the level of completion, this dessert is undoubtedly a top-notch choice. If it doesn't get a perfect score, I believe all the audience will think we're up to something."

Li Jiang and Dou Yueming nodded in agreement upon hearing this, obviously agreeing very much with Chen Guomin's statement.

"To be honest, I had no idea about tomorrow's game, but after seeing this dessert, I suddenly felt full of confidence."

Dou Yueming interjected, "That's right. Although our modern desserts haven't developed very quickly, we have a history of thousands of years. The ancients had already reached the pinnacle of dessert making. I hope to see the ultimate collision of the ancient wisdom and modern desserts. I also hope that Contestant Wang can create more outstanding works in this competition."

Chen Guomin chuckled and said, "Then shall we announce the results?"

Li Jiang and Dou Yueming smiled at each other: "Without a doubt."

"Full marks."

When the results were announced, no one was surprised, and no one was dissatisfied with the result.

"I'm surprised that Boss Wang didn't give me a score for such a powerful weapon."

"That's right, it was all made right under our noses, so there's no way they could have cheated. This design alone is already a win."

If the audience was there to watch the excitement, then the contestants were truly shocked.

In their inherent cognition, Western pastries are fluffy, sweet, and either cute, elegant, or delicate in shape; Chinese pastries are the kind that are old-fashioned in shape, hard enough to be used as bricks, and leave crumbs in your mouth when you bite into them, or the kind that are soft, glutinous, and sticky. No one expected that these traditional desserts could be so amazing!
These young pastry chefs did not feel frustrated or unhappy about losing the competition. Instead, they were very happy.

Could our homemade desserts be this beautiful?
It turns out that our ancestors had already passed down desserts of this level?
So if we want to beat those French pastry chefs, can we rely on our own desserts?
The pastry chefs suddenly became happy again.

That’s right, if it’s Chinese desserts of this level, they might really be able to beat those French pastry chefs!
"Teacher Wang, you must perform well in tomorrow's competition and give those arrogant French pastry chefs a Chinese-style shock."

"Come on, Mr. Wang! We're rooting for you from the sidelines!"

"Come on, Teacher Wang! Tomorrow is depending on you!"

Wang Fan was deeply moved by the blessings from his fellow contestants.

"I will definitely keep the victory here tomorrow."
