Chapter 229 Winners and Losers(1/2)

 In this mind-numbing cooking process, time passes by minute by minute.

When Brigis and Elulu drank two large pots of tea in the pavilion and went to the toilet once.

Jiang Jin and Grizzly Bear finally came over carrying a big plate.

The huge silver plate was covered with a larger silver dinner cover, hiding the dishes inside.

But even though I can’t see what’s covered in the plate.

But Bridges's sense of smell is also different from ordinary people, and she immediately smelled a faint smell oozing out of it.

This... what does this smell like? How strange?

Bridges didn't know how to describe the smell.

It just feels like it smells...like...it seems pretty fragrant?

Wait, why did I have this illusion?

Is it possible that the dishes cooked by the members of the Wudu Cooking Association will be very fragrant? He won’t put anything strange, right?

Bridges became even more worried when she thought that those guys often used all kinds of messy ingredients when cooking.

But due to the bet with Elulu, Bridges had to eat it, even if it was just a bite.

Bang! Just as the plate landed on the table in front of her with a crisp sound.

Although Bridges felt a little uneasy, she still smiled politely and said:

"Mr. Hannibal, I wonder...what delicious food have you prepared?"

After looking at her forced smile, Jiang Jin pursed his lips and said seriously:

"Of course it's a dish that you won't be able to stop eating."

Cut... At that moment, Jiang Jin clearly saw Bridges cut slightly to show her disdain.

But Jiang Jin will naturally not pay attention to this trivial matter, because what he likes most is to make others lower their arrogant heads.

So before Bridges could react, Jiang Jin quickly opened the silver cover on his hand.

As the lid was opened, a strange stream of hot air quickly emerged from the plate and swept across the entire pavilion.

Huh? This...this is!

At that moment, everyone in the house was shocked, except Jiang Jin.

The moment she opened the lid, the hot air coming out of it mixed with the strong aroma rushed out crazily.

Under this heat wave that was enough to knock people down on the spot, everyone around them couldn't help but show intoxicated expressions.

For example, the grizzly bear has a slightly devilish smile on its face, and its huge eyes almost pop out.

And Bridges seemed to be taken back to the old forests of the mountains and forests where she lived when she was young by the fragrance.

Deep in the familiar dense forest, the early morning mist locks the smoke, and the clouds rise into the sky, making people unable to help but be intoxicated there... Wait! What am I thinking!

After a few seconds passed, Bridges realized that she seemed to be addicted.

This completely unfamiliar situation shocked her, and most of her calm expression suddenly disappeared.

The aroma, the aroma pouring out from the plate made her salivate in large quantities, and she felt extremely hungry in her belly.

How should we describe this aroma? Grassy? Woody? Honey-sweet? Fatty and waxy? Amber? Bean? Fruity?

Because the aroma is so complex and strong, Bridges doesn't know how to describe it.

Originally, as the chief judge of the Kuchiki Court, she was by no means the kind of person who was greedy for food. She would simply eat vegetables and fruits on weekdays.

But just when Jiang Jin placed the plate in front of Bridges and made an invitation gesture to her, she felt the shock of food for the first time.

"This dish is "Ding-level grass eight delicacies", please enjoy."

Along with the plate was a silver spoon, and Jiang Jin's tone was filled with joy for some reason.

The so-called "Eight Treasures" usually refer to the eight most premium ingredients in the ancient Chinese food system.

The form of Bazhen itself does not have a fixed combination, so many different ways of "Bazhen" have been derived.

For example, "Mountain Bazhen" uses bear paws, deer antlers, elephant trunks, humps, civet cats, leopard fetuses, lion breasts, and monkey heads.

The "Shui Bazhen" uses shark's fin, abalone, fish lips, sea cucumber, skirt scallops, fish crisps, and toads.

"Cao Bazhen" uses all plant vegetables, such as Hericium erinaceus, Tremella fungus, Dictyophora fungi, Morel mushrooms, flower mushrooms, donkey's nest mushrooms, cloud scented mushrooms, day lilies, etc.

Of course, the eight treasure materials Jiang Jin used at this time were different, and they were exclusively prepared by him.

Whether it's taste, aroma, or some other aspects, it has effects far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

As for the names of the dishes introduced by Jiang Jin, Bridges can be said to have no idea at all.

Of course, this is normal. After all, the plate of food with soup and vegetables on the plate has made it impossible for her to divert her attention.

Because Bridges has no vision, her other senses are more sensitive than ordinary people.

So much so that when this plate of "Cao Bazhen", which brought out the ultimate fragrance of mushrooms, was placed in front of her, the level of shock would be several times that of ordinary people.

Ding... what kind of grass? What kind of treasure? Is this thing really... really edible?

Although deep down in her heart, Bridges really didn’t want to eat the food cooked by this man.

But her hand seemed to be disobedient and directly picked up the spoon and stretched it towards the full silver plate.

If you look carefully, what's on the silver plate is not ordinary food, but...a white moon.

The white full moon floats in the pale golden amber, looking poetic and beautiful.

Obviously, the fist-sized silver moon in the middle is the main part of this dish, which is the essence of Cao Bazhen.

When Bridges inserted the spoon into the corner of the huge full moon, she couldn't help but trembled.

The food in the shape of a full moon is full of texture, crystal clear, and juices overflow when you poke it, making it as cute as melted fat.

Ouch...this is really too...too...

When Bridges took out a suitable piece of strange food with a spoon and put it into her mouth.

The chief judge of the Kuchiki Court actually trembled violently, as if he had been electrocuted.

Although Bridges is blind, she is not illiterate. On the contrary, she has read all kinds of books and has a very broad knowledge.

But after eating this indescribable piece of food, she didn't know how to describe what she ate.

The fragrance is complex, but it is complex but not chaotic, as if it is performing a gorgeous dance in the nasal cavity.

The taste is complex, but it is delightfully complex. There are several different changes in one mouthful, which is extremely gorgeous.

Bridges has lived for so many years, but she has never thought about such delicious and special food.

With that sip, a light suddenly bloomed in her world of darkness.

The delicious taste that could be called an explosion spread wildly in her mouth, and the unprecedented enjoyment surged through her body like electricity.

Unknowingly, Bridges' face became redder and redder, and the speed at which she swung the spoon towards the plate became faster and faster, and this was completely out of her will.

Seeing the chief judge of the Kuchiki Court eating so happily, the grizzly bear beside him was stunned and completely speechless.

Elulu, on the other hand, also took a bite of the "Tripod Grade Grass Bazhen" in front of her, took a deep breath and smiled at Jiang Jin:

"It's so delicious...Brother Jiang Jin, this is made from many kinds of mushrooms chopped into pieces, right?"

After all, Elulu has eaten Jiang Jin’s dishes for so long, and has a certain understanding of his cooking techniques.

Jiang Jin raised his eyebrows at her, with a sense of intimacy that was unspoken.

As Elulu said, this "Tripod Bazhen" is indeed a delicacy made of many mushrooms.

There are eight kinds of ingredients in this dish, each of which provides a different taste and aroma.

Among them, "Bamboo fungus" provides a crisp taste, and "black truffle" provides the fragrance of beeswax.

The "chanterella mushroom" is responsible for the rich juice and deep flavor, the "porcini mushroom" is thick and tender, and the "Agaricus blazei" is tender and has a hint of apricot flavor.

The texture of "morels" is delicate and sweet, while the texture of "white fungus" is pleasant... Anyway, each has its own characteristics.

Eight kinds of mushrooms are combined into one dish, which can be said to be the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers.

In terms of production, Jiang Jin first cut seven kinds of mushroom ingredients except "bamboo fungus" into different sizes and mixed them into pots in different proportions.

After adding a small amount of salt, sugar and other simple seasonings, mix it with egg white, starch and exclusive secret spices, beat and mix together.

Finally, the giant dumplings that have been seasoned and mixed are wrapped on all sides with bamboo fungus mesh umbrellas.

Then add the clear soup stewed with several kinds of mushrooms and steam them together, which forms the complete picture of this dish.

After the dish is ready, its surface looks as bright as the bright moon, and the soup exudes a faint golden light, giving it a romantic feeling of the sun and moon shining together.

Of course, although this dish is not complicated, it is the most difficult of all the dishes Jiang Jin has ever cooked.

After all, different mushrooms have different aromas and tastes. These mushrooms need to be used to present complex and non-conflicting aromas and unpredictable tastes. This is not something ordinary chefs can do.

But Jiang Jin obviously made it almost perfect. Just look at Bridges who is sweating profusely after eating.

"Ah wu...ah wu..."
