Chapter 143: Life and Death (Part I)

Looking at the steaming eel soup and shrimp dumplings in front of them, a trace of solemnity finally appeared on the faces of the three judges. In fact, gambling food is not the first creation of the Chinese Chefs Association, but originated in Japan in the 17th century. In that era, everyone was martial, and the world was in chaos. Even the cooks who cook for the lord are not willing to be lonely, and often disagree with each other, proposing to replace duels with cooking skills, and the loser has to admit the victory of the other party, and the chef who is not willing to lose will often commit suicide in shame. Later, this vice was gradually emulated by chefs around the world, who gambled on their future and competed, with the winner gaining the reputation of the other party and the loser losing face.

And today's gambling food, the atmosphere is particularly strict, because the things bet on both sides are worth a lot of money, not just fame, skill, but life. Yin Xin said publicly that if he lost, he would take the blame and commit suicide, although this condition would not be agreed by the Chef Association anyway, but the hand was on Yin Xin's own body, and if he really wanted to commit suicide, no one could stop him. If Yin Xin hadn't committed suicide, even if he survived, he would have become a laughing stock and be criticized, with Yin Xin's personality, he would never choose this path......

Just when all the judges and the audience were immersed in a dull atmosphere, Zu Huatian, who had already seen what they were thinking, snorted coldly, stood up and said:

"Well, I'm afraid I know what you're worried about, but I don't think so. I think that Yin Xin is threatening the judges, which is equivalent to saying that if the referee decides that Yin Xin loses, he will commit suicide, which is a moral kidnapping! Look at Yin Xin, he looks relaxed, how can he be taking this competition seriously? Fear. He never thought about actually killing himself, did he? ”

Yin Xin smiled slightly:

"Old man Zu, you are so careful, who do you suspect these three respected judges are biased to? It's really a superfluous conjecture, I'm afraid that none of these three will show mercy. However, you say that I didn't think about really committing suicide, which is a bit of a basis, because I never thought that I would lose, and my medicine king recipe is the only real card in this world. Genuine cards are bound to win over imposters! ”

Saying that, Yin Xin stabbed his sharp gaze at Zu Huatian, Zu Huatian felt empty, snorted coldly, slowly sat down in the seat, and said to himself:

"Hehe, genuine? Yin Xin, although I don't know where you got your Medicine King recipe, it will never be a full version, Duan Xu'er died of injuries before he finished finishing the recipe, who are you scaring about? Hehe, Yin Xin, even if you are a disciple of Dazu or any of the thirteen people today, I will not be afraid of you, with the same high-end recipes, Xue'er will never lose to you, a wild chef who came out of nowhere! ”

At this time, Ji Wenqi had already picked up a shrimp dumpling and bit it gently, reminiscing carefully. Looking at Ji Wenqi who was savoring, Zu Xue'er also began to get nervous, and Zu Huatian, who was sitting in the audience, straightened his waist slightly, looking at Ji Wenqi's every move nervously. After a long time, Ji Wenqi put down his chopsticks:

"I see, what you call jade, is that what you mean......?"

The so-called jade grinding is a method of primitive processing of jade in ancient China. "Tiangong Kaiwu" records, "When the jade is first cut, the iron is smelted as a disc, the sand is filled with basin water, the foot is turned on the disc, and the sand is cut into the jade one by one." Its sand is not out of the river, there is a spring flowing out, the essence is like a face, so as to attack the jade, never consume. And this water chestnut sand, which is as crispy as jade sand, is wrapped in fresh shrimp that has been chopped and mixed into a filling, and shines in the transparent dumpling skin made of starch, which perfectly reproduces the scene of grinding jade, which is amazing.

"90 points." Ji Wenqi put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Dean!" Zu Xue'er was overjoyed. Although Ji Wenqi has long been dissatisfied with the soaring ancestral brothers and sisters, Ji Wenqi's fairness is well-known in the entire Chinese chef world, and he will never be swayed by his own likes and dislikes, and will only make a fair evaluation of the delicacy on a case-by-case basis, so no one will question Ji Wenqi's evaluation.

Hearing this, Yin Xin raised his eyebrows. Although it is a snow-flavored recipe, Yin Xin didn't expect Zu Xue'er's crystal jade dumplings to be so successful, however, she shouldn't have used such a thing as snow bone gold paste, after all, the workshop has been blown up by Yin Xin, looking at the recent reaction of diners, the ancestral family's inventory should have been exhausted, even if there is leftover oil, it doesn't mean much for supper, therefore, Zu Xue'er's strength should not be underestimated, and she is worthy of being known as the first young chef in Jiangnan......

"60 points!"

Suddenly, Zhou Wanghai next to him also put down his chopsticks, and as soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked, Zu Xueer's smile immediately froze, and then said angrily:

"President Zhou! What do you mean by that? Our ancestors and you should have no grievances, right? ”

Zhou Wanghai said calmly:

"Miss Zu, first of all, today's judge is me, and you should respect me. Secondly, I really have no grudge or grudge with my ancestral family, and in the end, you are not wronged with these 60 points, because you are off topic. If the college entrance examination essay is off topic, there is no doubt that you will be given a zero score, and you, as a chef, go against the wishes of the diners, and of course you will fail. You turn around and read the words on the screen. ”

"Ordinary people have a late-night snack." Zu Xue'er, who was confused, said.

"That's right. Ordinary people have supper, most of them are in food stalls, or in small restaurants to make a living, in short, it is four words, civilian food.

"And your crystal jade dumplings can be described as spring and white snow, and ordinary people are not blessed. This is indeed a supper, but this is a supper of the powerful and rich, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can afford and like to consume. And this eel soup......"

As he spoke, Zhou Wanghai picked up Yin Xin's eel soup, drank it all greedily, took a deep breath, and wiped the sweat on his forehead:

"This is the food that the real citizens are happy to consume. The selection of materials is bean skin from a small workshop, cheap eel bought from a roadside fish stall, the material is low, but - it has made the level of a first-class chef, this is a real chef, not confined to luxurious ingredients, not constrained by the constraints of conditions, Yin Xin, this bowl of soup, I decided, give you 90 points! ”

"Good !!" Sun Zhuo and Feng Jun, who were watching the game in the stands, had already taken the case.

"Yin Xin, good young man, this is the second time I have tasted your food, and it can still bring me a different surprise, my opinion is the same as President Zhou, I will give you 85 points!"

"Good!! Wow!! Sun Zhuo and Feng Jun roared hysterically again, ignoring the strange gazes of the crowd around them.

Hearing this, the father and daughter of the ancestral family suddenly looked like ashes, especially Zu Xue'er, who stumbled back a step. Zhou Wanghai's 60 points instantly knocked Zu Xueer to the bottom, and she knew very well that if she lost this game, her fate would be over......

"I'll give Yin Xin, 30 points!"

Just as the audience began to stand up and applaud Yin Xin, Owen's words instantly caused an uproar in the audience, and Yin Xin's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly......
