Twenty dishes were placed in front of the table. Someone took a small portion and sent it upstairs, and then the other four judges began to taste the dishes.
Liao Lao, the eldest among the four, started to taste, starting from the first dish. He took one bite and then put it down. Then he rinsed his mouth and tried the second dish.
Mr. Li followed closely, followed by Qin Haoou, and then Lin Chang.
There is a table in front of them, which corresponds to the name of the dish, the name of the corresponding restaurant and the name of the chef.
If you think the dishes are good, you can check the box at the back to determine the three finalists for tomorrow.
When Mr. Liao saw the Linglong Xizhu Jade Soup served in front of him, he was not attracted. He just thought it was an ordinary soup dish. After all, it is very common to cook meatballs in soup.
He picked up a meatball and saw that the meatball was pink on one side and white on the other. It was crystal clear and exquisite, which corresponded to the word "Linglong", which made him interested.
But where did this opera pearl come from?
Suddenly, the chopsticks slipped and the meatball fell on the table. The meatball did not fall to the ground but bounced on the table!
"What an exquisite bead!"
Mr. Liao picked up a small plate to catch the meatballs, and then held it with chopsticks, as if the meatballs were alive and he had 'caught' them!
He put the meatballs he had 'caught' into his mouth, and when he chewed them, his teeth bounced open! When he tasted them carefully, he found that they were chewy but not old, but tender and delicious.
"wonderful!"
He was filled with admiration. Then he looked at the few cabbage leaves in the soup bowl. They looked ordinary. After taking a sip, Old Man Li felt that his tongue was touched by countless gentle hands. He squinted his eyes in comfort, and his old face also
became red.
When Mr. Li saw Mr. Liao eating meatball soup with a "wretched" expression on his face, he couldn't help but wonder, is this meatball soup so delicious?
He picked one up and put it into his mouth, then his eyes widened, and then he took a sip of soup, and then he narrowed his eyes and blushed, with a look of enjoyment on his face. This look was even more 'obscene' than Mr. Liao.
Seeing the expressions of enjoyment on the faces of these two retired royal chefs, Qin Hao'ou was not surprised at all, because the chef's dishes have the magic power to make people feel happy!
Qin Hao'ou took one for himself and filled a bowl of soup. The two old men bulged their eyes when they saw this, "Why are you serving so much! Leave some for us!"
Qin Haoou has a black streak on his head...
Why are these two old men so protective of their food?
Qin Hao'ou couldn't stop crying after taking one bite. After ten years, he finally tasted the master's food...
Seeing the three of them eating meatball soup as if they were stunned, Lin Chang didn't take it seriously.
"Is it so delicious?"
He picked one up and put it in his mouth, his expression became surprised, and then he hurriedly started to look at the list in his hand, "Shishentang...Xia Zheng."
His eyes flickered, and he secretly made up his mind that this person must be hired to Jinshi Tower with a high salary!
When he wanted to drink soup again, he found that Mr. Liao and Mr. Li had already finished sharing...
Several people put a big check mark on Xia Jin's form at the same time!
There is no doubt that Xia Jin will advance directly!
Just after the announcement, a follower came downstairs and said to Xia Jin: "My lord, please come up."
grown ups?
Xia Jin looked upstairs.
The follower makes a please action.
Xia Jin had heard that a mysterious judge would come to Desheng Tower every year. He never showed up and no one knew who he was, but he participated in every year's review.
"Sir, the chef has been brought." The attendant reported outside the door.
"Come in."
This voice made Xia Jin startled. Isn't this the person called "Sir" who talked to Li Dacai in Wangxi Town?
It can't be such a coincidence!
"Chef Xia?" the attendant called.
Xia Jin came to her senses and walked in.
Entering the inner room, there was a middle-aged man sitting inside. He was wearing a brocade robe with dark patterns, a pair of sharp eyes, a hooked nose, floating lower lips, and a tuft of beard under his nose.
"Your name is Xia Zheng?" he asked.
Xia Jin withdrew her gaze and said, "Yes."
"Did you make this exquisite Jade Soup with Pearls?" He pointed to the empty bowl in front of him.
"yes."
"Are you interested in working as a cook in my house? I admire your cooking skills." Lord Song asked.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Sir. I still prefer to open my own restaurant. Sir Song, please give this opportunity to someone else!"
Seeing Xia Jin's refusal, Mr. Song's face darkened, and the entourage on the side shouted:
"Master Song asked you to be the cook in the house because he thinks highly of you. Don't be shameless!"
Lord Song raised his hand to signal his followers to shut up, then stood up and looked at Xia Jin.
"You can think about it, price is not a problem! I, Song, love food the most, and I always treat chefs very well! This is a token from my house, and you can work as a chef in my house for three thousand taels a month.
, come to me after you think about it!”
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the private room. Xia Jin casually threw the token into the cloth bag she carried with her and walked out.
And this scene happened to be seen by Lin Ziyi opposite!
Lin Ziyi had someone tamper with a dish. As long as Mr. Song ate it, he would pass out, so they could go in and search for evidence.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Song did not use his chopsticks to eat that dish. Today's plan failed!
"Let's go!"
He turned around and left the private room. Before leaving, he looked back at Xia Jin, who was chatting and laughing with others in the crowd, his eyes were cold!
"Ouch, my stomach hurts! Brother Ziyi, please go back first, I'll come back later!" Qi Tianxiao ran away, holding his stomach.
It wasn't until Lin Ziyi was sure that he was out of Desheng Building that he walked out from the corner.
Xia Jin qualified for the finals. Seeing him coming down from the second floor, Mr. Liao and Mr. Li, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly surrounded him.
“How on earth was that dish just made?”
"Why are the meatballs so elastic and the soup so delicious!"
The two of them were thirsty for knowledge, as if they were back when they were apprentices.
Xia Jin didn't resent other people's questions, so she told her the method without hesitation. Mr. Liao and Mr. Li secretly made a note of it, and when they saw Xia Jin again, they couldn't help but express admiration.
It’s not easy to be so young but have such a big heart!
Qin Hao'ou pulled Xia Jin's sleeve without leaving a trace, and said in a low voice: "Master, when can I talk to you!"
"There are a lot of people talking now. I'll come find you in the evening." Xia Jin replied.
Qin Haoou made an OK gesture.
Xia Jin took the form to participate in the finals the next day and walked out. As soon as she reached the door, a clear voice came.
"I didn't expect you were really a chef!" Qi Tianxiao walked over,
Xia Jin was stunned. Qi Tianxiao was here, so Lin Ziyi was here too?
She quickly walked out of Desheng Building, looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see Lin Ziyi...
"I still have something to do, so I won't talk anymore. You are busy with your business!" Xia Jin left quickly.
Qi Tianxiao wanted to chase her, but when he saw her walking fast, he couldn't help but muttered: "Didn't you say you want to recognize me as your younger brother? Why don't you admit it now!"
In the afternoon, Xia Jin and Si Ji climbed over the wall and entered Changle Courtyard.
"My boss is awesome today, we will definitely win tomorrow's final!" Siji was full of confidence. The moment he turned his head, his face turned pale with fright!
"What's wrong?" Xia Jin was confused, turned her head and followed his gaze, and saw Lin Ziyi sitting in the courtyard, looking at the two of them!
