CH.125 Mentality

Even though he was highly praised by the three judges, Que Zhengqing's face still did not have any joyful look. He glanced at Catherine in the audience out of the corner of his eye, but found that Catherine was puffing out her cheeks, and the expression on her face was relatively relaxed.

Why wasn't she nervous?

Que Zhengqing muttered in his heart, but he couldn't guess the reason, so he could only put his eyes back on the judges' seat again, and the three judges also began to discuss the two dishes.

The spectators in the surrounding stands were also caught up in a discussion, and the supporters of the two dishes were locked into arguments with each other.

"I think Catherine's food is better. Combining Western meals and Chinese dishes, such exquisite dishes may not be seen even in star-rated restaurants. ”

"No, no, no, Huaxia cuisine is more delicious, the rich slices of meat, and the crispy pot can be passed through the screen. ”

"yes, this dish makes my mouth water. ”

"I still like Catherine's balsamic vinegar tenderloin, it looks and tastes good, and the Chinese dish looks good, but it always feels a little greasy. ”

Zheng Ke rubbed his nose and looked at the big screen with a serious expression, the three judges were trying to convince each other, but it was not as intense as imagined.

It seems that although they have their own opinions on the dishes, the controversy is not as big as imagined.

"Senior Zheng, which dish do you prefer?" Erina asked Zheng Ke.

"Which one?" Zheng Ke shook his head, "Both dishes are very good, but what kind of taste they can cook can only be known after tasting them." Personally, I really like Catherine's food. ”

"Why?" asked Kohei curiously.

"Catherine's menu is so new. However, Que Zhengqing's cooking is also excellent, and the tenderloin is mixed with the sauce to make the tenderloin taste even stronger, so the flavor of the dish should be very good. It still depends on what the judges say. Zheng Ke simply expressed his opinion.

In fact, there are some deeper reasons that Zheng Ke did not explain.

Catherine and Que Zhengqing both used "realm", and in this case, the quality of both dishes was very high.

Que Zhengqing's advantage is that this dish is a dish that he is good at, so he will be more skilled in handling it. Coupled with the addition of "realm", this pot meat slice has a very high degree of completion.

If Zheng Ke faced this dish, it was estimated that he would also feel very tricky.

As for Catherine's balsamic vinegar pork, Zheng Ke didn't know if this was her whimsical dish, or if she had tried it before and took it out now. Zheng Ke feels that the advantages and disadvantages of this dish are very prominent, especially the taste of the whole dish is reflected in the Gu Yu meat, which is quite desperate.

But Catherine's talent in cooking, as well as the double superposition of "God's Heart" and "Enchantment", are destined to give this dish more charm. And these bonuses, unless you can taste it yourself, it is difficult for others to appreciate its deliciousness.

The discussion between the three judges was not too long, and it was probably just over a minute before the judges were already sitting up straight.

The scene immediately fell silent, and almost everyone in the audience held their breath and looked at the judge, Eddie.

Eddie took the microphone, took a deep breath, glanced at Catherine and Que Zhengqing, and finally his eyes fell on Que Zhengqing.

"This dish is the best Chinese dish I have ever had this year. Of course, not long ago, to be precise, I had eaten similar dishes before the qualifying tournament began, but the taste of those Chinese dishes was obviously not as impactful as the dish in front of me. You're doing a great job. ”

Zheng Ke rolled his eyes depressedly when he heard Eddie's words.

Obviously, the person Eddie was talking about was him. In the quiet town, he is more practicing the "realm", and does not pursue the taste of cooking, from this point of view, it is indeed inferior to Que Zhengqing's dishes.

Eddie wasn't wrong.

"Thank you for your comments. Que Zhengqing bowed deeply.

"No thanks, this is the honor you deserve. Eddie bowed slightly, with a smile on his face, "It's because this dish is so good that the three of us have been thinking about it for so long." But, I'm sorry, this dish is still not as good as balsamic vinegar. ”

The look on Que Zhengqing's face stiffened, and his brain went blank.

"Wait...... Wait a minute, why? Why can't it compare to hers? Didn't you just say that my dish is the best Chinese dish of the year?"

"Yes, that's because Catherine's dishes are not really Chinese cuisine. Of course, these are not the reasons why you lose the game. It is important that the ingredients are handled, you don't have to go over Catherine. Eddie explained.

"Is there any problem with the handling of the ingredients?" Que Zhengqing clenched his fists and questioned.

"No problem, but it's just no problem. In particular, the most important sauce of the whole dish can still feel novel after the first bite, but after a few bites, it will give me a feeling that this sauce does not match this dish. Add whispered.

"Huh?" Que Zhengqing sneered when he heard this, not satisfied with Eddie's explanation.

Eddie didn't panic either, and continued: "You boiled it for a little longer, and the taste of sugar and vinegar in the sauce was much lighter. Although the tenderloin can cause a strong impact on people's taste buds, the taste of vinegar and sugar is not obvious, and after careful aftertaste, the pot has a sweet and sour taste.

"I'm not saying your dishes are bad, but your dishes don't stand out too much compared to Catherine's. ”

Que Zhengqing hurriedly picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of pot, and put it in his mouth.

The pot is crispy and fragrant, and it also has a sweet and sour taste, but it is not strong enough.

"Can I try this balsamic vinegar again?" Que Zhengqing glanced at the plate next to him, and there was only a piece of tenderloin left on it.

"Absolutely. Add bowed slightly.

Que Zhengqing picked up a piece of tenderloin and ate it in his mouth.

The boiled tenderloin adheres to the surface of the tenderloin with the richness of the soup and the aroma of balsamic vinegar. Even though the tenderloin was equally rich, the sour taste of Italian vinegar stimulated his taste buds and made him want to eat all the tenderloin.

Damn it!

Que Zhengqing bit his lip and walked off the judges' bench with a depressed expression.

"Unfortunately, you have a chance to win. ”

When Que Zhengqing walked to Catherine's side, the other party suddenly said such a sentence.

"What?" Que Zhengqing looked at Catherine suspiciously.

"I mean, you had a chance to beat me in this fight, but you gave it up with your own hands. We're just competing, and there's no grudge against each other. The next time you play, don't be in such a hurry. Catherine reminded.

Que Zhengqing snorted coldly, did not answer, and went straight back to the rest area.
