The judges who had spoken to Shang Huaiyan on the phone before quickly sat back in their seats.

There are a total of ten positions behind the judges' long table, and the judges of the ten positions have just evaluated the third position, and now the scores of Yi Baitang and Hu Chengping's two dishes are:

Yi Baitang: 8 points, 9 points, 8 points.

Hu Chengping: 10 points, 9 points, 9 points.

Soon it will be the judge's turn.

The judge's surname is Xiong, and his figure also matches his surname, with a height of 188 and a weight of 200 catties. He took a sip of tea from his teacup, smiled and gave a rating:

"Ten points for steamed blue crab with glutinous rice, eight points for eight treasure fish."

The atmosphere at the long table was suddenly quiet.

The judge who gave Yi Baitang eight points at the beginning coughed and reminded: "This eight-treasure fish has been at a state banquet." ”

Although the words are not finished, everyone understands the meaning of the following: all dishes have a full score of 10, if the dishes that have been served at the state banquet cannot get more than 8 points, then what kind of dishes can get more than 8 points?

Judge Xiong was calm: "What Judge Xu said is true. Glutinous rice steamed blue crab has also been on the small garden fighting art. The opening time of the small garden did not say where it was more than the state banquet, by the way, has anyone counted the number of small garden fights and the number of state banquets? ”

Of course, no one around answered his words.

Judge Xu was unhappy and said: "Judge Xiong thinks that steamed blue crab with glutinous rice is much better than eight-treasure fish?" ”

Judge Xiong was also polite: "It's a pity that the total score is only ten points, otherwise I am willing to give eleven points to the glutinous rice steamed blue crab, and give him one more than not afraid of his pride!" ”

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, the chief judge sitting in the middle gently patted the table.

The sound of palms slapping on the table was not loud, but both Judge Xu and Judge Xiong were instantly silenced, obviously respecting the chief judge.

Only then did the chief judge say in harmony: "Okay, it's enough for each to express one opinion, after all, everyone is mainly tasting the dishes." The rest continued. He then joked, "Don't let the discussion get carried away." ”

The rest of the judges, who had not yet scored, laughed cooperatively.

Say yes and don't be influenced...... How can it be!

If Judge Xu is obviously giving the platform to Ted Building, then Judge Xiong's words make people realize that there is no support behind Lan Fang!

This is not surprising, there is no three, two, three, how dare to go to Liangshan, that is, everyone did not realize before, it turns out that in addition to the ingenuity of the blue side, the backstage is also very hard, so thinking about it, it seems that the blue side has a wider winning surface.

"Speaking of which, what's the name of the Blue Chef?"

"Yi Baitang, I was introduced at the beginning of the serving."

"I haven't heard the name, is it a chef from other places who came to the capital to develop?"

"I don't know, but I've heard from them that the chef looks young?"

"How old are you? In your thirties? Or in your early forties? ”

"No, it looks like it's in your early twenties."

There are ten people at a table, there are those who stand in the Tide Building, and there are also those who stand in Yi Baitang, but it is not that there is no one who does not stand, just eating food reviews, and the number of third parties in this group is actually quite a lot. After all, Xiaosuiyuan is also one of the top places in the industry, and the chefs invited to taste it are all chefs in the same industry. However, the proportion of top talents in a certain industry with their own personality is still much higher than that of the general public.

For the dark tide surging on the long table, some of them felt disdainful and some were puzzled.

Among the chefs who felt puzzled, there was a chef who was the chef of the Shengshi Hotel where Yi Baitang applied for the job before.

The chef was actually puzzled, and he didn't understand why there was today's game. According to the situation analyzed by him and his companions at the beginning, Yi Baitang obviously has a close relationship with that person, and the representative of the entire Huaiyang cuisine and even Chinese cuisine since the founding of the People's Republic of China, although Hu Chengping is also a time-honored brand, but to wrestle with that person, it is something that even Hu Chengping himself dare not think of...... All Huaiyang cuisine chefs can be said to be the apprentices and grandchildren of that one.

So, in today's game, isn't it just that the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family?

He really didn't know what was going on.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know the situation, anyway, he eats food in a dignified manner, and it's good to play the score in a dignified manner, it's so righteous and awe-inspiring!

The Huaiyang chef of the prosperous era smiled:

"I'm very interested in how to put crab meat into glutinous rice, I think Yi Chu is worth 10 points, and Master Hu's mastery of heat is also very good, which can be called nine points."

Before his words fell, the gourmand sitting next to him asked in a cold whisper:

"It's all Huaiyang cuisine, who do you say does better?"

"Needless to say, of course it's Chef Yi, haven't you drunk the golden soup before-" Chef Huaiyang responded without thinking, and halfway through his words, he reacted, "Good guy, you lied to me?" ”

"Hehe, didn't I look at your look on your face that I know a lot of □□?" The gourmand smiled pleasantly, and then he reassured, "It's okay, I've already finished voting, just like you, one ten, one nine." I just want to know if this chef has the skills of Huaiyang cuisine, and in this chef's cooking skills, I always feel that there is a deep-rooted - light and timeless taste. ”

The judges on the guest of honor are in full swing eating and grading, and the kitchen owned by Ted House is busy without stopping.

From the beginning of the preparation to now, Hu Chengping has been standing in front of the stove for two or three hours, the heat brought by the non-stop fire in front of the pot makes him sweat, even if the heavy iron pot no longer has to be turned by himself, just stir-frying, his arms have begun to ache for a while.

Others may not be able to see it, but Hu Chengping himself has realized that in more than two hours, his body has been exhausted.

It's still a bit reluctant.

But fortunately, only the last dish remained.

Hu Chengping secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He turned to the chef next to him and said, "Okay, reduce the juice on high heat for three minutes, and then you can start the pot and put it on the plate." ”

"Okay, Master Hu." The chef hurriedly responded.

Hu Chengfang left from the stove.

Everyone in the kitchen was still busy with their own things, and Hu Chengping walked out of the kitchen alone and came to the grove outside the kitchen to breathe.

He had just paced slowly in the woods for a while when a man dressed as a waiter came in and walked up to Hu Chengping.

Hu Chengping asked: "How is the situation now?" ”

He didn't contact the chefs he knew early on to prepare public relations like Hu Jianming, but it would be impossible to say that he didn't care about the process and result of this competition.

The waiter briefly explained the situation on the other side of the judges' bench, and then the reaction of the diners.

It's not uncommon for things to happen on the judges' bench, and everyone is paying attention. But compared with others, Hu Chengping listened more seriously, or the waiter's description of the diner:

"Master Hu, the diners sitting at the red table, eat with restraint; But the diners who sit at the blue table, they eat lively. ”

"All the tables are lively?" Hu Chengping couldn't help asking.

"All the tables are lively." The waiter replied in the affirmative.

"Who started the argument first at the guest of honor?" Hu Chengping asked again.

"It's Judge Xu." The waiter replied again.

Two answers to these two questions are sufficient.

In this grove, before all the results came out, Hu Chengping had already realized that this time the fighting art, for the diners, for the taste buds, who loses and who wins.

The night was dark, the lights were all in the distance, and the noise was still behind, only this small place, not connected in front and back, lonely, deserted.

At the same time, it belonged to Yi Baitang's kitchen.

Yi Baitang had already stopped what he was doing.

Just two minutes ago, he had a sudden burst of inspiration and was thinking about and preparing the last dish of the day.

Because of Yi Baitang's contemplation, the rest of the people in the kitchen who were affected by him woke up one after another, and when they realized what they had just done, from the second kitchen to the handyman, without exception, their hearts collapsed like a tsunami, and the color on their faces was comparable to the greenest green vegetable in the back basket.

At this moment, there was a sudden soft humming from the kitchen.

Everyone shook collectively:

What's wrong, what's wrong?

They trembled, and when they looked at the sound, they saw their chef smile happily, humming a song to plate the dishes separately, and humming a song to hand the dishes to the waiter outside, and then he turned back.

"Alright."

Yi Baitang was very happy.

"That's all for today."

At the same time that this sentence was spoken, the final two dishes were finally served on the table of the judges and diners.

They taste the same dishes at the same time.

Suddenly, the audience fell silent, and the sound was like a tape with a mess of threads at this moment, completely stuck.

After a long time.

The chief judge pressed the napkin to the corner of his mouth:

"Let's do a different kind of survey before grading. This survey does not involve the final score, we only speak by taste. ”

"For today's two feasts, if you can only choose one dish, you are willing to taste it-"

His voice fell.

Seven voices rang out together:

"This is the dish!"

Along with the voice, they swiped neatly, pointing their fingers to the dishes that belonged to Yi Baitang!
