Chapter 503: Tasty, but soulless
Tang Rijie remembered the purpose of coming here. Although he still had some unfinished ideas, he still had to stop and change the scene in time.
“This dish is different from the ordinary stewed oxtail, and some herbs are added.
“I just saw that there are wolfberry, angelica root, gastrodia elata, and it seems that there is Codonopsis pilosula. It is probably an improved medicinal diet. The taste is actually not bad, and the format also has merits, but I feel that this dish still lacks a bit of soul. ”
After he reviewed the Sizhen Oxtail Soup, the barrage started to flood the screen again.
"Teacher Tang finally started to exert his strength!"
"But it feels like he hasn't exerted much strength. What kind of evaluation is the lack of soul? It's too abstract."
"You don't Understand, Teacher Tang is a professional, he must have suffered something to say that.”
“Then let’s talk about what he suffered. Let’s leave it here to complete the riddle.”
"It's boring to pretend to be a ghost, so I'm done with it."
Tang Rijie did not see these comments in the live broadcast room, but this did not prevent him from sweating profusely at this time.
Because he had been thinking for five minutes just now about what else he could criticize about this dish, but he couldn't find it. And he didn't want to keep insisting that it was too expensive, so he held it in for a long time. Another soulless person was suppressed.
In fact, Tang Rijie mainly suffered the disadvantage of being too professional. It was because he was too professional that he could not tell lies with his eyes open like a magical sea lion, distorting reality at will and saying that delicious food is not delicious.
So in the end I can only fool myself with the lack of soul.
However, this is not useless at all. After all, he is a professional food blogger who has proven himself. With the solemn look on his face, he is still somewhat convincing when he says this.
But the bad news is that it's only a little convincing.
Having worked with Tang Rijie for a long time in photography and post-production, I also felt that something was not right with Tang Rijie’s state.
The photographer said, "Teacher Tang, why don't we take a break and start shooting again? You can drink some oxtail soup to calm down. I think you like it."
But he just said After saying this, the third dish was also brought over by He Xiaoqian.
As soon as this dish was served, it sparked heated discussion in the live broadcast room.
"Hey, isn't this a ham and potato pancake that was sprayed by a magical sea lion? It costs 168 for a plate, and there are only 6 slices per plate. He also said it was too oily and not good, so he packed it up and took it back to feed the dog."
"Let's see how Teacher Tang squirts. Teacher Tang needs to add more oil. He doesn't look energetic when visiting the store this time."
Tang Rijie patted his cheek hard, "No, continue, let it cool down." It won't look good when it comes out."
"Then...I'll keep taking pictures." The photographer was still a little worried and warned, "Teacher Tang, relax. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong. I still have to cut it when I get back."
"Yeah." Tang Rijie picked up the chopsticks again and started to try the ham and potato pancakes.
At this time, the number of people watching the live broadcast in the live broadcast room has exceeded 5,000, and they are all waiting for Tang Rijie to comment on the ham and potato cakes.
The moment he entered, Tang Rijie's eyes flashed with pain.
And this scene could not escape the eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room.
Coming! It's now that the situation has finally overturned. Teacher Tang's spirit of complaining should have been completely ignited, and the next step will be an inhumane and brutal output!
But the expected output did not appear. Instead, Tang Rijie fell into silence again.
Perfect!
This is another dish that is so perfect that it can be called a work of art, with no mistakes at all.
The chef who can make a mere potato pancake to this extent has obviously far surpassed him before, no, it should be said that he has surpassed all his colleagues. He is obviously so talented, why doesn't he go to work as a chef or consultant in one of those multinational hotel groups? Why does he choose to stay in such an inconspicuous small restaurant, and he is not the owner? What is he trying to do?
Tang Rijie couldn’t understand.
After taking the first bite of ham and potato cake, he wanted to shout loudly, 168 is so cheap! This quality, this taste, you can easily add 0 at the end if you put it in those top restaurants.
Now that you can eat it at 168, it is no different from picking up 1,500 yuan for nothing. Tang Rijie even feels a little heartbroken, feeling that these delicacies have not received the respect they deserve.
They should be sent to the Forbidden City and the Louvre for exhibition, to be worshiped instead of the Golden Ou Cup and the Mona Lisa, or they should be put into the pyramid to be kept fresh by alien technology and become eternal.
The worst fate would be to be eaten on a Jingdezhen cloisonné or Villeroy & Boch white plate by someone who truly understands their value.
Of course what makes him feel even more painful is that he has to comment on this masterpiece next.
But the problem is that Tang Rijie feels that he is not qualified to evaluate it at all, let alone criticize it.
So Tang Rijie was stuck again. Fortunately, this time it didn't last long. Before the photographer could urge him, he spoke again.
“The skin is crispy and the flesh is crispy. The ham on top is thinner than paper. Come and look at this texture. It is as beautiful as marble. The taste is closer to Iberian black pig, soft and sweet, with a long and lingering aftertaste. It also has a hint of acorn fruit, which is a perfect match for the potato pancakes below. "
"Huh?" Tang Rijie's turn was so fast that even the photographer opposite him said it. Confused.
After a while he said, "Then is this delicious or not?"
"It's delicious, but it has no soul." Tang Rijie insisted through gritted teeth, sweat dripping from his forehead.
“It just doesn’t taste good.”
“No, it’s delicious, but it has no soul.”
Tang Rijie didn’t give the photographer or post-processor a chance to continue asking. , said directly to He Xiaoqian.
“Here’s the last dish, bring it to us quickly, we’ll have something to do later.”
Tang Rijie didn't want to stay in the store any longer. He just wanted to end this torturous torture as soon as possible.
Anyway, no matter how delicious the food is, he will say it has no soul.
As for what counts as a soul, Tang Rijie himself doesn’t know.
He Xiaoqian said, "I'm sorry, guest, there are 4 tables in front of you that have ordered this dish. You have to wait for a while. When the chef is ready, I will serve it to you right away..."
Five minutes later, Ma Youyou walked out of the kitchen pushing the dining cart.
He Xiaoqian went up to serve the dishes, but found that only Tang Rijie's table was missing. He Xiaoqian asked, "Where are the dishes? Did they cook less?"
Ma Youyou said to He Xiaoqian.
"You don't have to worry about Teacher Tang. The boss said that he will serve Teacher Tang himself. He is welcome to come to our restaurant to dine."
He Xiaoqian was stunned when he heard this, "Teacher Tang He is a grandma with tens of millions of fans. The boss should take this opportunity to build a good relationship with him and let him help promote our restaurant more in the future.”
She obviously doesn’t care about someone that much. Understood. Looking at Ma Youyou, she knew very well how small-minded Ma Lu was. She looked at Tang Rijie who was still wiping sweat with some sympathy.
The storm is coming soon.
