Song Xuan said: "Although the three sets of ducks have clear soup as an embellishment, and the process of making zuò is very complicated, I can see that you want to convey the harmonious meaning and beauty of the Chunjiang plumbing duck prophet to people, but in my opinion, although your dishes are exquisite, but what is conveyed to me is not the beauty of harmony, what I see is that the big duck swallows the duckling, the duckling swallows the pigeon, and I feel that the weak eat the strong, seeing this scene, no matter how good the mood will become, not to mention that these three birds have become dead things no matter what you do, even if the kitchen god is alive, Nor can they regain their original spirits. It's not a bad thing for a chef to show off their skills, but once other people's attention is focused on your skills, they will lose sight of the root of cooking, which is to give up the last thing! ”

Although Shen Yingnan was furious at this time, he couldn't say a reason to refute it.

Song Xuan said with a smile: "I don't know what the root of cooking is when I look at you, I will simply teach you one more thing, the root of cooking is to try your best to arouse the appetite of others." He turned to Jia Xuegong and said, "You touch your conscience and say a fair word, these two dishes are put together, which dish can arouse your appetite more?" ”

Jia Xuegong said: "Naturally, there are three sets of ducks!" "The two dishes are placed together, the aroma of the meat of the home-cooked braised duck is extremely domineering, since it has been opened, the aroma of the three sets of duck has been fully suppressed, Jia Xuegong feels that his tongue is rooted, it is completely because of the taste of the home-cooked braised duck, and the root he is talking about now is a lie.

Song Xuan sneered: "Don't even dare to say the truth, you don't deserve to be today's judge." He looked at Xie Yunan and said, "Old Xie, you say!" ”

Xie Yunan said: "It should be the braised duck that can arouse my appetite more." ”

Song Xuan said: "Although you are an old guy who is extremely hypocritical, you have told the truth today. ”

Song Xuan said: "Maybe you are still not convinced in your hearts, why don't you take matters into your own hands and comment on it with your own tongues?" ”

Qi Cuiting sandwiched a piece of braised duck, and after only one bite, she was stunned, the taste of this duck meat was so familiar, and it actually contained the taste of Miao's secret seasoning, she looked at Su Le with some astonishment, and seemed to understand something for a moment.

Xie Yunan also discovered this secret for the first time.

Song Xuan said: "Actually, as long as you grasp the key, half a duck can defeat three ducks, I said wrong, it should be two and a half." ”

No matter how well Song Xuan said it, after all, he could only represent his opinion, and the final victory or defeat would depend on the joint scoring of the five judges. According to the principle of five points out of five, the five judges scored the four contestants separately.

Qian Xiaohong's firewood duck, Ma Deliang gave five points, Jia Xuegong scored four points, Xie Yunan gave four points, Qi Cuiting gave four points, Song Xuan gave one point, and the total score was eighteen points.

Mao Qingzhong's Eight Treasure Duck, Ma Deliang gave three points, Jia Xuegong scored three points, Xie Yunan gave three points, Qi Cuiting gave four points, Song Xuan gave one point, and the total score was fourteen points. A look of disappointment appeared on Mao Qingzhong's face, he didn't expect his score to be so low. Seeing Mao Qingzhong's score, Qian Guisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with him at the bottom, his face was saved.

Shen Yingnan made three sets of ducks, Ma Deliang gave five points, Jia Xuegong gave five points, Xie Yunan gave four points, Qi Cuiting gave five points, and Song Xuan gave zero points, with a total score of nineteen points. Although Shen Yingnan was refuted by Song Xuan to the point of incompleteness, his level was indeed extraordinary, and it was normal to get this score.

Su Le's home-cooked braised duck, Ma Deliang gave three points, Jia Xuegong gave two points, Xie Yunan gave five points, Qi Cuiting gave three points, and Song Xuan gave five points. He actually scored eighteen points.

At present, Shen Yingnan is temporarily in the first place, Su Le and Qian Xiaohong are tied for second, but Mao Qingzhong, who has the most average comprehensive strength, is ranked last.

Before the start of the optional competition, the players are given a ten-minute break, and during these ten minutes there are variables. After Qian Guisheng discussed with his daughter, he decided not to continue to participate in the competition, after all, Qian Guisheng has been mixed in the officialdom for a lot of days, and he has already seen the clues from the competition during this time, and the rumors from the outside world are not without reason, this time the senior brother Shen Wantang and his son are determined to win the Cloud Chopping Knife, although Su Le's kid seems to have the worst level, but this kid's understanding of cooking principles is a little incredible, if he hadn't prepared before, how could he understand the truth of simplicity? Could it be that this kid is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? What really prompted Qian Guisheng to make up his mind to give up was that after he tasted the braised duck, he tasted the braised duck, he silently sat down next to the fifth junior brother Mao Guoyuan, Mao Guoyuan also tasted the taste of the master's special seasoning like him, the master's special seasoning was only passed on to the little sister Miao Qingyu, they were very clear about this matter, the master left the banquet hall to the master, and the cloud cutting knife was also handed over to the master for safekeeping, but the recipe for some secret seasonings was only given to Miao Qingyu. Since Su Le has a secret seasoning, it obviously proves that he has Miao Qingyu behind him.

Behind Shen Yingnan is the support of his wife, behind Su Le is the support of the little junior sister, behind this cooking competition for a long time is still only an internal family dispute, why do they bother to add to the chaos, in the end they just play a supporting role for others, no matter how hard they try, this cloud cutting knife will not fall on them, why bother to make wedding clothes for others. With such an idea, Qian Guisheng naturally did not want to continue, rather than his daughter facing the shame of elimination in the next game, it was better to accept it when it was good, and it was a wise choice to take the initiative to leave now.

After confirmation, the host officially announced that the final showdown would be between Su Le and Shen Yingnan.

Before the game, Shen Yingnan came to his father's side, Shen Wantang put his arm around his son's shoulders and whispered to him: "You don't have to worry, that Su Legen has not undergone formal cooking training, I have checked his bottom, and it is impossible for him to win against you." ”

If before the competition just now, Shen Yingnan might be full of confidence, but the home-cooked braised duck shown by Su Le just now was highly praised by Song Xuan, which made Shen Yingnan's confidence begin to waver, he didn't think that Su Le's cooking skills were so good, what he was really worried about was the judges, after all, Song Xuan had just given him a minimum score of zero, if this round of competition, Song Xuan's old skills were repeated, maybe he would capsize in the gutter.

There are many factors that can affect the psychology of the contestants in the competition, and the tendency of the judges is one of the main factors.

Su Le's mentality is obviously much better than Shen Yingnan's, of course, this is related to his target positioning, before coming to participate in the competition, he and his master Zhu Lao Er had set the tactics of making trouble for the first game and the second, and the purpose of coming here today was to pull Shen Yingnan off the horse, and he must not let the Cloud Chopping Knife fall into his hands.

Although Su Le didn't think about winning the first place, but Mao Qingzhong's elimination, Qian Xiaohong's halfway exit has pushed him to the forefront, it seems that this first place must be won today, if he doesn't take it, the cloud cutting knife is Shen Yingnan's, this result is undoubtedly unacceptable to their master and apprentice.

Zhu Lao Er called Su Le aside and said in a low voice: "In this game, you can win but not lose." ”

Su Le nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely give you anger this time." ”

Zhu Lao Er stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Not only to vent my anger, but also for the sake of Yanxitang, the Shen family's father and son are not right, if the cloud cutting knife falls into their hands, it is equivalent to giving up Yanxitang, if this happens, it will be difficult for your master Jiuquan to look at it." ”

Su Le pursed his lips, in fact, he didn't have much affection for this master he had never met, but Master Zhu Lao Er was really good to him, plus Su Le was extremely competitive, even if there were not so many external factors, he didn't want to lose under Shen Yingnan's hands.

Zhu Lao Er patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and prepare!" ”
