Chapter 36 What did you add, don't you have any points in your heart?
Everyone finished it almost at the same time. By reaching their level, they have already controlled their time very well.
The five dishes were delivered to the judges' table respectively, and they were tasted one by one according to the order of drawing lots.
The first thing I tasted was the dish from Guiyue Restaurant. As the chef, Wang Damang stepped forward and explained: "This dish is called 'Dragon and Phoenix in the Sky'."
The five judges looked at the steamed mandarin fish in front of them at the same time, and it looked like an ordinary steamed mandarin fish.
"Why is it called Dragon and Phoenix in the Sky?" asked Mr. Liao.
Wang Damang cupped his fists and said, "Senior, you'll know after you take a bite!"
Mr. Liao took a bite, and the expression on his face changed again and again, "The meat of this mandarin fish is delicious, but the taste is sweeter and more mouth-watering than ordinary mandarin fish."
"I'll give it a try." Mr. Li picked up a pair of chopsticks, thoughtfully.
The other two judges also started to taste the dishes.
"It's a chicken." said the mysterious man wearing a mask.
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Liao and Mr. Li suddenly realized.
"Yes, yes, it's chicken. This mandarin fish has the aroma and sweetness of chicken. How did you do it?" asked Mr. Liao.
Wang Damang cupped his fists and replied: "I steam the mandarin fish with cooked chicken soup, so the mandarin fish has the fragrance and sweetness of chicken."
"I see!"
Next, it’s Xiang Ling’s turn from Fumanlou. As the ‘only’ cook here, the dishes she cooks are particularly exquisite. Generally speaking, she can be summed up in one word: ‘little’
There were only five green head mushrooms on the big plate, but there was nothing else.
"What's the name of this dish?" asked Mr. Liao.
Xiangling raised her forehead slightly and said, "This dish is named Winning, which means it can win the competition."
These words amused everyone, "It's great that you have such ambition."
After picking up a green-headed mushroom and tasting it, Mr. Liao commented: "Use the soup from the seafood to cook the green-headed mushroom, and put all the soup into the green-headed mushroom, so that the whole green-headed mushroom is filled with the fresh taste of seafood.
...It’s just that the smell of seafood is too strong, but it masks the sweetness of the green head mushroom itself, making the taste more complicated.”
Xiangling nodded slightly, "Thank you for your teaching!"
Next it was Qin Hao'ou's turn. He made boiled pork slices. He felt very appetizing even before he even started to use his chopsticks.
Mr. Liao picked up a piece, took a bite, and gave a thumbs up. "Chef Qin's dishes are still too perfect to be faulty!"
"This boiled beef dish is slightly spicy, but it does not cover up the deliciousness of the beef itself. The meat is tender, smooth and refreshing, very good!" Mr. Li praised.
"This is not an innovative dish. You have made it before, right?" Mr. Song said lightly.
"There's no rule saying you can't cook dishes you've cooked before, right?" Mr. Li retorted.
"I'm just talking." Mr. Song spread his hands.
"Next one!" Mr. Liao interrupted the argument between the two.
Lin Chang stepped forward and pointed to the casserole in front of him, "The dish I made is called Delicious Mutton Stew. As long as you take one bite, I'm sure everyone will like it. No one can refuse such deliciousness!" he emphasized!
The girl stepped forward and opened the lid of the casserole, and a smell of mutton rushed out along with the heat, which only made the girl frown slightly.
So fishy...
She held her breath, filled five portions and placed them in front of the five judges.
Xia Jin's nose moved, and then she suddenly looked at the contents of the casserole!
"This smell is..."
Mr. Liao took the soup and took a sip. He almost spit it out. It was so fishy! He couldn't have boiled it!
Just when he was about to spit it out, he suddenly swallowed it as if he was possessed. When he looked at the soup in front of him, his throat felt dry.
Mr. Li saw that something was wrong with him, so he also tried to have a taste.
"Wait!" Xia Jin stood up.
"You can't drink this soup!"
"Why can't you drink?" Mr. Li wondered.
Xia Jin walked to the table with a cold face, picked up the casserole and slammed it on the ground. The casserole broke open with a bang, and the soup spilled all over the floor.
"What did you do! Do you want to ruin my soup?" Lin Chang pointed at Xia Jin's nose angrily.
Xia Jin looked at him indifferently, "You added something yourself, don't you know it in your mind?"
Lin Chang's expression changed, his eyes flickered slightly, "I abstain!" After that, he turned around and walked towards the audience!
Xia Jin looked at the residue on the ground. She could not mistake it. It was poppy shells!
The reason why I still want to eat it after eating it is because of addiction rather than the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves!
What makes Xia Jin confused is that there should be no such thing here. How did he get it and use it in the dishes?
Judging from his confident look just now, Lin Chang must know the use of these things, so he is so arrogant!
Xia Jin hated this kind of shameful behavior the most in his life! He was not running a restaurant, he was clearly harming people!
She will investigate clearly!
"Chef Xia, where is your dish?" Mr. Li's voice sounded.
Xia Jin reacted, stepped forward and said, "My dish is called Crazy Saliva Chicken."
"Interesting name!" Mr. Li looked at Mr. Liao who was still holding the soup bowl and was reluctant to put it down.
"Old Lia, it's your turn to try the food!" Mr. Li called out to Mr. Liao several times before he realized what he was doing.
He picked up a piece of chicken in a daze and stuffed it into his mouth. For a moment, his dazed eyes lit up.
The moment I bite the chicken, the muscles in my mouth explode. A spicy taste stimulates my mouth. The aroma of Sichuan peppercorns goes straight to my forehead, sweeping away the addictive influence of poppy shells!
Zanthoxylum bungeanum itself has the effect of dispelling evil spirits. Combined with the tempering of its three flavors of true fire, it is more than enough to remove the effects of addictive ingredients.
Mr. Li picked up a piece and took a bite and praised it repeatedly, "What a crazy salivating chicken. I have never heard of this taste. It is so delicious. The chicken skin is so chewy and chewy. The meat is delicious. The spicy flavor is mixed with the aroma of crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. It is garnished."
The coriander goes straight to the forehead, which makes people feel energetic!"
Master Song and the masked man also began to taste the food. After taking just one bite, Master Song felt completely refreshed. The old cold leg that had been tormenting him for a long time miraculously no longer hurt!
The old lady’s medicine is not that effective!
Looking at Xia Jin again, Mr. Song was determined that this person must be recruited into the mansion by all possible means to cook for him!
The masked man chewed carefully and his eyes became brighter.
"tasty!"
He put down his chopsticks and checked Xia Zheng's name without hesitation!
Master Song, of course, also chose Xia Zheng. There was no doubt that Mr. Li and Mr. Liao all chose Xia Jin.
Not long after, a gong sounded.
Qin Hao'ou personally handed the four thousand taels of silver notes to Xia Jin. "According to the rules, the person who wins the competition will receive a bonus. The one who won the competition today is the Food God Hall!" He announced loudly.
As soon as this result came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone was talking about this dark horse who suddenly appeared.
At this moment, in the private room on the second floor, Lin Ziyi looked at Xia Jin through the window. When he saw her smiling sweetly as she took the bank note, her brows frowned unconsciously!
He suddenly realized that Xia Jin's usual smile in front of him was a fake smile!
Now is her real smile, with curved eyebrows, white teeth, and beautiful bright eyes!
He stood up and walked downstairs.
"Hey, Master, where are you going?" Mu Gu hurriedly chased after him!
