Hello. Didn't we agree to contact at 10 o'clock today?
I am too rushed. It's already shipped here?
Good. This is great. Thanks.
Thanks. Thank you, everyone.
Actually, when I was on my way here today,
I was very worried that the atmosphere would be depressing at the competition.
So I prepared a joke when I was at home.
I wanted to bring it here to relieve everyone's pressure.
But, after being touched just now, I've forgotten what it is.
Okay, back to the main topic.
All the audience here, as well as viewers in front of the TV, regardless if you are new or old friends,
hello everyone. I am Thomas.
Today, we are competing on sweet cuisine.
The topic is called, Original Intent. Let's take a look at the big screen.
♫ Love ♫
[Mueller's Future Star Culinary Competition]
Speaking of the original intent, I'd like to talk with everyone
about my original intent to hold
the Future Star competition.
Our competition has been held for 20 sessions.
We've insisted the particular format of having a mentor choose and teach an apprentic,
and let the apprentice participate in the competition.
The format originated from the philosophy of the Muellers organizing committee,
because we believe culinary arts comes from experience.
It needs to innovate, but even more, it needs to pass on the legacy.
The mentor teaches and explains, the apprentice respects the teacher and honor the learing.
This is the foundation that will guarantee the progress in culinary arts.
Everyone must be thinking now, what is the original intent to become a chef?
It simply is to let someone, after eating a meal
and feeling warm, and sense beauty and joy.
It also coincifes with the meaning of the sweet taste.
Today, we are at the competiiton
where a mention who used to hate the sweet taste
to the point where he rejected all kinds of sugar.
Who am I talking about? Raise your hand.
That's right. He is the one.
But, it's very gratifying that he has waken up.
We welcome your return.
Next,
let me announce the rules of the competition today.
First, the mentor and appretice will coordinate in cooking
to complete a sweet dish.
Of course, we have a restriction here.
We are competing in Jiangnan. (T/N: the region to the south of the lower Yangtze River)
So we should utilize the special food ingredients in Jiangnan.
Therefore, we've prepared glutinous rice and osmanthus.
Glutinous rice
originated in Tibet, China
in the east part of the Himalayas.
It's now widely spread in southern China.
Glutinous rice was already planted and eaten in China
over 10,000 years ago.
These two are the foods with the most Chinese characteristics.
That's why, today, the two teams of mentor and apprentice
will use glutinous rice and osmanthus to make a sweet dish.
The time for the competition is one hour.
I now officially announce,
the competition starts.
Okay, thanks.
I feel confident. Don't worry.
Okay.
Go ahead.
He is probably estimating the cooking couter's length.
This is so unfair!
Isn't that old lady too embarrassed to compete?
She should cover up her eyes too.
Mr. Jiang is so disadvantaged.
If it's his own cooking counter, he would know where everything is.
But now?
Careful.
Go do your thing.
Take a look. Is it blended well?
It's good.
I thought Xiao Jiang
could only stand there and not able to do anything.
I didn't expect that he could do something.
It's still not good. Look.
Nonsense.
You do it first.
Here.
I'll do it. You do your thing.
Stop. That's enough now. It's good.
It's so heart wrenching to watch.
It's fine. I can do it.
