Chapter 28: Half Joy and Half Sorrow
The participating chef next to him seemed to appear as a bystander, opening his mouth slightly, his eyes wide, and he didn't have time to put down the spoon of his mobile phone.
The heat wave spirals up like a floating silk scarf, caressing everyone's ankles, arms, necks, and finally hovering around the nose.
"This is the most fragrant noodle I've ever smelled!!!" A man in floral pants danced with his hands fluttering, his turnips flying around, completely forgetting that he was also there for the competition.
Swallowing saliva one after another, the cooked noodles in Liu Zhen's hand slipped out of the middle of the chopsticks like a loach, and the moment it touched the plate, it was bounced up.
The noodles are not very thin, so they are more chewy to eat, and the boiled noodles without any seasoning attract everyone's attention, imagining whether they will feel like they will bounce to their teeth if they eat them.
Liu Zhen put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and hung on the corner of his mouth with a confident smile, and everyone around him drooled, seeing this scene, he shrugged his shoulders without the slightest surprise.
"Bang, bang, bang!" the sound of three loud palms colliding was particularly harsh in the silence of the moment.
Liu Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked around, everyone's attention was drawn to his face.
"Don't be in a daze, you are also contestants!" the voice from Liu Zhen's chest reached everyone's ears.
The boy in the flower pants swallowed his saliva, seeing that the steamed osmanthus fish he made was about to come out of the pot, but there was no taste at all, if compared with the plate of noodles with nothing, there was no doubt that he would give up this fish, and instantly showed a desperate look.
As soon as the radish was lost, he was about to cry with a bitter face: "It's better than a hair!"
The faces of the surrounding people also lost their color, and some even sat directly on the ground, decadent and hopeless.
The plate in front of him is the simplest thing Liu Zhen can think of, and it is also the most able thing to show his skills, the fragrance of shallots is completely squeezed out, with the fragrance and taste of dried fruit fat, it is definitely the strongest collision, and at the same time, the lemon fragrance is faintly entwined on the tip of the tongue, and each thing has a unique taste, which can be said to be the ultimate.
Liu Zhen has no joy and expectation at the moment, looking forward to the happiness on the faces of the people who taste this plate of noodles, because the judges are a group of emotionless beasts!
Liu Zhen pursed his lips and clenched his fists tightly, his calm eyes gradually darkened, like the darkness before the storm that was about to sweep everything, making people shrink.
Raise your hand and pour the noodles into the pot with the sauce already mixed and stir, the color of the soy sauce wraps around the smooth noodles, and you turn them twice neatly, and each side shows the most shiny side.
Remove from the pot, arrange the plate, and finally sprinkle a thick layer of chopped dried fruits on top, and the squeezed golden green onions dot the top, and the smooth action ends the final process of this staple dish.
Liu Zhen slapped the crumbs of his hands expressionlessly, picked up the plate and turned around, the tranquility behind him was heart-wrenching at the moment, so many excellent chefs saw the delicious food and showed only despair, attracted by the food at the same time, but could not open their arms to embrace.
"This plate of noodles is for you, and after eating, you will finish the work in your hands. ”
Liu Zhen did not hesitate at all, and did not look at this plate again.
……
Every move of all the chefs is shown in real time on the high-definition display in each room outside, and at the moment, there is a lot of noise.
Liu Jinchen smashed a bottle of freshly opened red wine in front of him, furious.
"He's the opposite! Go and tell me that if I lose today, I promise to make him regret coming to this world!"
Liu Jinchen, who was close to going crazy, grabbed the hair of the woman next to him and ordered.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, you let go first! I'll go right away! I'll go right away!" the woman's neck was twisted to the point of deformation, waving her arms and crying for mercy.
Liu Jinchen's hand turned to the other hand and pinched her neck, his eyes bloodshot: "You say, I will not lose today?"
The woman trembled, her face was already red, she shook her head desperately, and struggled to squeeze out a few words from her squeezed throat: "No... No... Yes, Brother Chen... I'll go..."
Liu Jinchen pushed hard, and the woman slammed on the marble coffee table and rolled to the ground.
"Go! Let Ah Ding come over!" Liu Jinchen instructed the people around him.
……
A plate of noodles was casually placed in front of everyone, and everyone stared at it, ready to move, but hesitated.
"What did he go out to get something?" someone whispered.
"Fifteen minutes left, it's too late, he's trying to do something!"
"Do we eat or don't eat?"
"Eat! It's a fool not to eat, let him win, we will definitely not survive!"
"Yes!
After a while, they all walked to the plate with chopsticks.
Everyone stared at the green onion on it and swallowed their saliva.
The man in the flowery pants was the first to pick up a brown noodle stained with juice, put it in his mouth in the eyes of everyone, and disappeared with a snort.
It was like being stabbed, and the taste of the fragrant Q bomb spread all over the mouth, as if it had been thrown into a cloud made of marshmallows, and it was bounced a few feet high if it moved slightly.
The tooth mark is soft on the face, but there are broken nuts running under the teeth and being squeezed out of the oil.
It's a feast for the palate!
The flower pants seem to have forgotten all their troubles, and all the feelings are concentrated in the square inch of the mouth, looking ahead woodenly.
"How's the pants?!" The people around looked at the flower pants and looked anxious.
Hua Pants reluctantly swallowed what was in his mouth: "Give me all this plate of noodles, will I admit defeat to you?"
Everyone was stunned by the cold question.
"I want to taste what kind of delicacy makes you want to die!"
"Eat!"
Liu Zhen sat aside with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at this group of bastards and smiling unconsciously, this is the real yearning for food.
In less than half a minute, the noodles were eaten cleanly, and the last person didn't eat much, looking at the juice on the plate and hesitating to find something to dip in.
Liu Zhen stood up, stomped his feet, and walked into the crowd.
There was still silence, but everyone's eyes had changed from enemy to adoration.
"I'm not going to compete, you have the rest of the time to finish the work, but remember, feel the spirituality of the ingredients in your hands, they are more eager to be a human delicacy than you are. ”
Everyone was ignorant, and by the time they reacted, Liu Zhen had already been called away.
Next to the woman stood Liu Jinchen's attendants, and Liu Zhen stood lazily in front of them.
"Hurry up and go in and cook a dish! Brother Chen, if you lose, you'll die!" the woman grabbed Liu Zhen's arm and said in horror.
"Heh, is Boss Liu so anxious, he hurt all the beauties, and he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. He lifted her chin and felt pity at a bruise.
The woman choked up and was afraid, but Liu Zhen's unhurried appearance made her even more panicked: "Don't you want your life?!"
Liu Zhen shook off the two hands stuck to his arms, and said condescendingly: "If he dares to bet on me, he will be able to pay the price!"
After saying that, he raised his head and raised his middle finger at the monitor at the door, laughing, teasing, and spilling over the screen in every room, and there was an uproar.
Liu Jinchen watched his last action and held a mouthful of old blood in his chest, and now everyone knows it, Liu Jinchen's gambling chef's contempt for him, in an instant, not only has the game been lost, but even the last face has been defeated by Liu Zhen on the ground.
"I'll bring him when it's over. Liu Jinchen's pig's liver-colored face was sweating profusely, and his heart was itching with hatred.
"Will they let them go?" said the attendant standing next to him.
Liu Jinchen grabbed him by the collar and gritted his teeth: "Of course I won't let him go, I'll let you figure out a way! As long as I see him go out of this door, I'll kill him on the spot! Only one person between you and him can survive today, and you can do it yourself!"
Liu Zhen sat in the corner quietly waiting for the game to end, and the others were already in a hurry.
……
A bright hall, a dark corridor, and a special room.
In the dark, every move outside was played out on the big screen, including the reactions of the bosses in each room.
An extremely strange chuckle suddenly sounded.
An incomparably elegant and magnetic voice rose, and in the transposition was the confidence to grasp everything: "Liu Jinchen is finished here." ”
The person behind him bent down respectfully and replied with a smile: "Yes, but this kind of thing saves us trouble." ”
"Heh," the man sat in front of the screen with his long legs elegantly folded together, each fold of his trousers wrinkled at the most appropriate angle, this time more playful, "Bring me the cook later." ”
"Yes. ”
When it's time for the competition, all the chefs come out with their creations and put them on the round table with their names on them.
Liu Zhen put his hand in his trouser pocket, empty.
Fifty judges were slowly led into the clearing in the center of the round.
The host appeared: "The second game is over, then the judges are invited to taste and score, and the bottom half of the ranking is lost!"
The owners of every room came out, except for the chef, who were the most nervous, and the bets were so large that they were jaw-dropping.
Ah Ding stood in the corner just now, and his eyes fell on Liu Zhen, who had a calm face.
Loosening his tie, Ah Ding lowered his head and smiled silently: "This guy... Are you going to change the situation?"
All the judges were brought to taste one dish after another, and when they walked up to Liu Zhen, they were told that this person had no works, and of course, no results.
With a hammer drop, all judging is over, and the judge quickly withdraws.
Liu Zhen was ranked last without any surprise.
"Now all the losers' money and people have been deducted, it's over!
The person standing with Liu Zhen was paralyzed with fright when he heard the verdict, and he shrunk on the ground, muttering something in his mouth.
Liu Zhen hurriedly squatted down: "How are you?"
He was already in a trance, looking at Liu Zhen with a dull gaze, no matter how he called, he didn't respond.
Liu Zhenxin kept sinking, he went crazy.
It was quickly towed away.
There are cheers, howls, sighs, and pain in the hall, which is the so-called life and death field.
