    骄傲!因为我是中国人!

            8月25日是个值得我一生为之骄傲的日子,在紧张而激烈的现场烹饪比赛中我获得了银牌,New Zealand Culinary Fare 2009 (2009新西兰厨艺比赛)是评定新西兰专业厨师技术水平的一个平台,能够站到这个高出地面40cm的平台上需要莫大的勇气与自信,而作为女厨师勇气是我们所欠缺的!
     
           苛刻而严肃的评委与选手一对一、 1米线外的看台上挤满了观众、不停发送特写镜头到大屏幕的摄像师、亲友、老师。。。凝结成无形的力量紧紧地压迫着原本就脆弱的心脏。。。在那一刻唯一能作的就是关闭听觉、屏蔽操作台以外的世界、专注更专注。。。。
     
          1小时的比赛在一秒秒地倒计时中飞逝着,评委盯住我的每一个动做不停地记录着那些我永远看不到的信息。。。42分钟。。我第一个完成了作品,当我为在场的观众呈上我所烹制的美食。。随着盘子轻触展示台所发出的清脆碰撞观众也开始沸腾。。掌声从四周无序地想起。。听到有人在大声喊出我的名字。。虽然我谦虚地回报给场外以微笑和致意但忽然从那一刻起开始无法控制地心跳加速。。。
     
        我的参赛项目是food and wine match (食物与酒的搭配),就是选手所烹制的菜肴需要能够和赛场提供的酒形成完美结合,我所需要搭配的酒是Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2007,我对这瓶酒的理解是:It shows hints of capsicum and asparagus on the nose. The palate displays fullness with ripe fruit and passion fruit, with green apple and underlying austerity. 所以为了均衡酒的酸度我选用了绿色的苹果和lime的树叶、苹果醋、白葡萄酒等来烹制鱼,再配以橄榄油、蜂蜜、酸橙汁、新鲜的薄荷叶及山萝卜叶等材料制作的sauce,以及其它配菜来平衡与提升酒中所潜在的味道。。。
     
       傍晚,欢快的开场歌舞并没有打破颁奖典礼上紧张且微妙气氛,历时3天的比赛疲惫的选手们终于等到了这为之努力的时刻。。我所听到的最多的安慰就是:你已经尽力了,所以结果不重要。。。面对那一张张西方人的面孔,我有种莫名的孤独感,直到这最后一刻才体会到原来在这个群体中我这个中国小女人是那么地与众不同。。西餐、洋酒、亚洲人、中国女人。。。
     
       “The silver medal award to Angela W. Churchill.....”,随着来自于我们小集体的尖叫声,我被周围的人逐一地拥抱着。。这飞来的荣誉另我不知所措。。不知自己是如何从台下走到台上,只听到背后传来的欢呼声。。。握手、授奖牌、颁发证书、再次握手。。所有程序结束后我转身面向台下却看到了张张充满疑惑的洋人的脸。。呵呵。。那一刻我也变得疑惑了。。你们不爽吗?因为我是亚洲女人?!
     
        下台、拍照、与团队的成员拥抱。。走过张张严肃而羞愧的洋面孔。。。我把头扬的高高的--在那些洋鬼子的面前。。。呵呵。。。是的,我是中国人!!!中国人无论在哪里在哪个领域都是杰出的。。因为我们是强大而优秀的民族!!!
