Tang Jingliang and Zhang Liankai had just sat down for a while, and the shopkeeper brought the water soup dumplings and smeared cakes. The aroma of the soup dumplings immediately filled the room, and the two of them swallowed at the same time. I saw two smooth and transparent soup dumplings in the saucer, and two pieces of turquoise smeared cake in the other saucer. In front of the two of them, there was a bowl of porridge with thin vegetables and a small plate of inky pickles.

"Haha!" Tang Jingliang smiled loudly, "Shopkeeper Liu is really a careful person, this soup dumpling and smeared cake are only prepared for one of us, just for fear that we will be overfed and affect the beauty of food reviews for a while." After speaking, he lifted the cuff of his right hand with his left hand, took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the chopstick holder, picked up a soup bag, and then picked up the spoon prepared on the side with his left hand to catch the bottom of the soup bag. Gently press your lips to the top of the soup pack and gently bite down on a small gap with your teeth. The aroma of the soup in the soup bag suddenly emanated, making Tang Jingliang can't help but hum heavily, and then, he carefully sucked the soup in it. Sizzle, with the action of sucking, the warm soup enters the mouth, stimulating every taste bud. The smell is like a magma eruption at the top of a cold mountain, or a huge wave crashing against a rock on the shore, so strong and hearty that people can't ignore it.

"Ahh The soup is delicious. Tang Jingliang shook his head in admiration, making sure that there was not much soup left, and then took a bite of the skin of the bun. The chewy dough and juicy filling make the mouth and tongue hearty, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

Zhang Liankai, who had never moved his chopsticks on the side, saw Tang Jingliang's intoxicated eating appearance, and couldn't help but question, "Is it so delicious?" This bun in Huixian Lou can be better than the Bao Imperial Chef in the palace? ”

"Haha!" Tang Jingliang just smiled noncommittally when he heard this, didn't say much, and continued to eat his water soup dumplings.

Finally, Zhang Liankai couldn't help but pull out his chopsticks, pick up a soup bag and put it in his mouth. Before Tang Jingliang could stop him, he heard him scream, "Oops! Scald! Hahahoo. The soup bag had fallen on the table, and Zhang Liankai was constantly breathing at this time, while his hands kept fanning his mouth in order to relieve his newly burned mouth. When Tang Jingliang saw it, he hurriedly got up and ran out, and after a while, he came in with a cup of herbal tea and handed it to him, "Quick, take this herbal tea in your mouth and relieve it." ”

Zhang Liankai took a sip of herbal tea and held it in his mouth, and his two cheeks bulged like little hamsters. His eyes were full of anger and grievance, his brow was furrowed, and his face was very ugly. With red hair, it's more like an angry flame.

Tang Jingliang looked at him like this, he wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, so he had to hold back. He knew that Zhang Liankai was a good face and conceited, if he told him directly, this soup dumpling was particular about how to eat, and he couldn't just put it in his mouth, he would definitely not listen to it, and he would hate himself. But he didn't explain it to him, and he was afraid that he would have the same appearance in the future, so Tang Jingliang had no choice but to say as if he was pulling at will, "This water soup dumpling is really not convenient to eat, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will catch its way, and I have been scalded by it before." ”

After speaking, Tang Jingliang peeked at Zhang Liankai's expression, and saw that his anger eased a little, so he continued, "Later, I learned that I had to gently bite open a hole from the skin first, suck off the soup inside, and then eat the skin and filling." Zhang Liankai listened carefully, but on the surface he looked indifferent, and when Tang Jingliang finished speaking, he said, "I know all this, it's just me who was careless." ”

Tang Jingliang smiled indifferently and didn't argue with him, knowing that he was young and vigorous, with a good face, and refused to show weakness lightly.

As he was talking, outside Huixian Building, there was another commotion. I saw two fast horses, one black and one white, galloping to the door of Huixian Tower from far and near. Turning over from the horse, there were two middle-aged men, both of whom were white and ruddy, one with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the other with slender eyebrows.

Liu Wanfu's shopkeeper greeted him warmly, "Eh, the two chefs Zhao and Liu have also arrived, please come inside, please inside." ”

Both of them returned the salute with smiling faces, "Shopkeeper Liu, I'm too late, I'm sorry." "Shopkeeper Liu, it's long overdue, please forgive me."

"Haha! It's not too late, it's not too late, it's please. Tang Imperial Chef and Zhang Imperial Chef have also arrived, and they are having dim sum in the private room on the first floor. You two can also try our soup dumplings and pancakes in Huixian Building? ”

"No, no, we're already late, we can't afford to delay any longer." The three of them walked inside as they spoke.

Hearing the movement, the soup chef also walked out of the private room, and as soon as the three chefs met, they greeted each other politely. Chef Tang said to Shopkeeper Liu Wanfu, "Shopkeeper Liu, since the judges have arrived, please notify the participating chefs to be in place, and the competition can begin." ”

"Okay, I'll let you know." After speaking, just about to turn around, Liu Wanfu's shopkeeper seemed to think of something, "Zhang Yuchu he?" ”

"Oh, he's eating dim sum in the private room, and he praises your dim sum for being delicious." Tang Jingliang prevaricated casually, it was not good to tell him, Zhang Liankai was scalded by the soup bag, and he was sulking.

When Liu Wanfu heard this, he smiled with his eyebrows open, "Haha!" It's been a prize, it's been a prize. ”

A gong sounded, and the shopkeeper announced aloud in the lobby on the first floor, "Participating chefs, please pay attention!" This food competition will start after a cup of tea, and the chefs will be in their seats. If you want to watch the game, please press the number on the room sign to find the corresponding seat number, we have marked the corresponding room number in the viewing area on the first and second floors. ”

Immediately, a group of junior runners, according to the list of participating chefs, went to each guest room on the second floor to notify the participating chefs to be there.

In a short time, a total of 24 chefs from 12 prefectures gathered in the hall on the first floor. As the host of the food competition, Liu Wanfu took the lead in speaking, "Everyone, we will hold a food competition every three years in Tianqi country, from which we will elect the three chefs with the highest culinary skills in Tianqi country, and they represent the highest level of chefs in our Tianqi country. This year, we are honored to undertake the competition, Liu is here, thank the emperor Longen, but also thank the four judges for the judges, and thank all the chefs for their active participation, I wish you all good results. ”

The audience burst into thunderous applause. Some viewers began to whisper.

"This shopkeeper Liu is really eloquent."

"Welcoming visitors from all over the world every day and sending friends from all over the world is trivial."

Shopkeeper Liu once again announced passionately, "Now, we have four judges invited to take a seat. With everyone's warm applause, the four judges took their seats in turn.

"The first one is the imperial chef Tang Jingliang." Tang Jingliang got up and hugged his fists and saluted everyone. "Tang Imperial Chef was the first chef in the famous capital that year, and the soup he made was the best in the soup, and no one else could match the realm of Sanqing, so he also had the reputation of Tang Sanqing." Tang Jingliang, who had just sat down, had to get up again when he heard the words, and saluted everyone again, saying that his reputation did not match, and he thanked him for his love.

"The second place is the imperial chef Zhang Liankai. Zhang Yuchu is a rising star, he studied under a famous chef at a young age, proficient in steaming, frying, stewing, stir-frying, boiling, frying, and scalding. Zhang Liankai stood up and gave a salute, his face was stern, especially when he heard Liu Wanfu's shopkeeper say the word "hot", he was even more unhappy.

"The third place is the champion of the last food competition, Zhao Zhiying. The cold dishes made by Chef Zhao were given by the Queen Mother Chrysostom: a national treasure-level cold dish. Legend has it that the artistic conception of the taste contains thousands of scenes, and after tasting it, there is a sense of being a human for several lifetimes. Zhao Zhiying got up and smiled, and bowed to everyone.

"The fourth place is the champion of the last food competition, Liu Heyu. Chef Liu's pastry is beautiful and novel, the shape is exquisitely conceived, and the image can be almost chaotic, if it is put together with living things, it is impossible to distinguish the real from the fake. Liu Heyu also smiled, clasped his fists and saluted, and kept saying, "I have won awards." ”

The four judges have taken their seats, and the atmosphere has become warm, and everyone is looking forward to the start of the official competition.
