Chapter 35: Surprise
Gong Baorou felt that her legs were weak when she came to the stage, and she walked towards the judges with an almost pilgrimage mood.
"After tasting the delicious plum tart brought to us by chef Xiao Wenye from Haicheng Hotel, the next is chef Gong Baorou from Haicheng Hotel, as one of the rare women among the contestants, what kind of dish will she bring to us?" The host took it smoothly, and the eyes of the audience were focused on the slender body.
Nervous? Gong Baorou asked herself. No, she wasn't nervous at all, she could feel the pores of her whole body dilating, she craved that attention, she longed for the feeling of being recognized.
Putting the tray on the table, Gong Baorou stood still, calmed down, and said softly: "What I brought to the judges today is the sweet and sour tenderloin, a famous dish of the Han family. โ
It is also divided into small plates, and the crimson sauce is lined with snow-white porcelain, which makes people appetize.
"Sweet and sour tenderloin is characterized by being sweet but not greasy, charred and tender, which can be both appetizing and filling. It's a home-cooked meal that almost everyone has eaten, and it's stuck in our minds. It's like youth. When we grow up, youth will become our most precious memory, as long as we think of it, we will think of its sweetness, and all the sourness, pain, sadness and anger, will become lighter and fainter, and finally maybe make us smile when we think of it. Gong Baorou did not finish in a few sentences, but explained in detail, "I selected the best pork loin, and the massage technique made the meat more tender, and I didn't use the same ingredients that many people use when making sweet and sour tenderloin, such as tomato sauce." So, I hope this dish can give the judges a different feeling. โ
The judges nodded and put down their chopsticks.
When he entered the mouth, a rich sweetness emanated from the tip of his tongue, stimulating his taste buds, and his saliva couldn't help but swallow desperately, just like that, Sun Fugui already felt that this was the best level of Gong Baorou.
Even if she loses, she can't be blamed, she has done her best. Thinking so, Sun Fugui chewed on the tenderloin.
Tender! This is Sun Fugui's biggest feeling, it is not as rotten as it is broken at a touch, nor is it as soft as adding tender meat powder, the teeth touch the meat, and when you bite it, you can even vaguely feel the texture in it, and the full flavor of the sauce brings it a different taste. This sweet and sour tenderloin is almost to the extreme!
Sun Fugui swallowed the meat in his mouth and looked at Gong Baorou in disbelief. He thought he had picked up a piece of jade, and he still needed to carve and polish it, but it turned out that what he got was a pearl, and her brilliance never disappeared, but he could only see it by opening the shell.
If Sun Fugui still had the meaning of repaying Gong Baorou at the beginning, then now, he has more expectations for Gong Baorou. The future of this girl is definitely not going to be mediocre, and one day, the whole world will know her name.
"This sweet and sour tenderloin is very good." "The afterlife is terrifying."
Compared with the many praises that Xiao Wenye received just now, the judges only had a few words about Gong Baorou, but this does not mean that Gong Baorou is worse than Xiao Wenye, on the contrary, the judges can't find any flaws in Gong Baorou's dish, and some deficiencies are harmless. When it was the turn of the chef at the Haicheng Hotel, the other party just looked at her fixedly, and then said with a bit of bitterness and depression in his tone: "Beware of arrogance and rashness, little girl." โ
Sun Fugui snorted coldly and laughed sarcastically.
Gong Baorou nodded gently: "Understood, thank you for your guidance." It was just a whin, and she hadn't heard anything more unpleasant.
The confrontation of this scene appeared on the big screen, the unwillingness and sarcasm of the chef of Haicheng Hotel, Sun Fugui's sneer, and Gong Bao's soft and hard answer, which set off a small โกโก.
"It's just a clown jumping off the beam, and I'm definitely jealous of Arou." Liu Yingai said indignantly.
"That's already the best answer." Even Xiao Wenye didn't dare to contradict Sun Fugui's difficulties and naked ridicule, and Gong Baorou couldn't do it against the judges.
Zhao Xiuxiu couldn't help but sigh.
Arou, as a woman, sometimes you always have to bear more prejudice and blame, I hope you can always maintain an optimistic and calm heart.
When she walked in front of Li Haoying, Gong Baorou's waist was bent very low. Her eyes were full of sincerity and she said, "Please give me some advice." โ
However, Master Li Haoying, who has always been gentle and polite, unexpectedly did not have a smile on his face, he looked at Gong Baorou with complicated eyes, as if he was looking at another person through her.
"Master?" Gong Baorou started to get a little nervous.
Li Haoying seemed to come back to her senses: "You created this sweet and sour tenderloin yourself?" โ
Gong Baorou blushed: "Yes." "This sweet and sour tenderloin recipe was created by many chefs in the future, and she is one of them, and now it would be a lie to say that she created it alone. However, as long as you can leave a good impression in Master Li Haoying's heart now, it doesn't matter.
Li Haoying's expression became a little strange, he seemed to want to laugh, and he seemed to want to cry.
"It's really, the same as him......" The same talent, the same eyes, that person's shadow seems to overlap on this girl's body. Only, will this girl be that person?
Gong Baorou had a bad premonition in her heart, and her smile became reluctant and embarrassed: "Is there anything bad about my dish?" Feel free to criticize and I will be sure to make more corrections. โ
"No," Li Haoying's voice suddenly became a little louder, he took a deep breath and calmed down, "This sweet and sour loin of yours is very good, there is no more room for transformation." โ
Gong Baorou finally got the reply she wanted, she was overjoyed, but she said calmly: "Thank you for your compliment." โ
Being able to get praise from the person she admires the most in her heart, Gong Baorou feels that this is the happiest moment since she was reborn.
The final score card was revealed, and the water was more than ninety-seven, and the corners of Gong Baorou's mouth were hooked, guessing that the first place this time would fall to his own family.
When it came to Li Haoying, he looked at Gong Baorou fixedly, and then showed the sign in front of him.
Sixty!
Gong Baorou's eyes widened, a strong sense of loss and sadness welled up in her heart, and her brain "buzzed", almost losing her temper on the spot.
How so? How so!
She looked at Li Haoying, whose face was as heavy as water, and tears instantly overflowed her eyes.
