At this time, the sky was already dark, although the lanterns were lit around, and the moon and stars on the canopy also projected light to illuminate the stage brighter, but because it was too late, there were still many things that could not be seen clearly, and people could only see the hot air on the stage, soaring into the air, and the countless intoxicating fragrances slowly floated over.

Spectators were staring brightly at the stage, just waiting for the bowl of fragrant hot soup to be brought off the stage, and people were already scrambling to taste it.

The serving guys on both sides came to the stage and stood aside waiting for the food to be served.

Su Miao and Tong Ran's works were completed almost at the same time, but Tong Ran did take so long, but Su Miao took so long because she was researching the main ingredients.

Huiwei and Su Yan scooped out the clear and mellow duck blood vermicelli soup from the soup pot and put it into the blue and white porcelain soup bowl one by one, and then put two crispy and chewy duck gizzards on the top layer of the soup bowl, and then handed them to the buddy.

The guys took the trays, got off the stage again, came to the judges' seats, and placed the soup bowls in front of the judges one by one.

Xiao Liuzi, who is the leader of Su Miao's group of serving guys, personally sent a bowl of steaming duck blood vermicelli soup to Shen Erniang as a special judge, only to see Shen Erniang dangling a pair of small feet, yawning there, perhaps because the game was too long, she felt bored, and had a casual and boring expression. She was rubbing a fan in her hand, rubbing it over and over, just looking at the lilies on it, and she didn't notice that someone was coming to bring the soup, so that Xiao Liuzi had to open her mouth. resoundingly announced the name of the dish:

"This dish is Miss Su's duck blood vermicelli soup." Normally, he does not report the name of the dish to the special judge, and the first special judge's seat is closer to the last judge's table, and when they announce the name of the dish at the last judge's table, they are equivalent to reporting to the special judge's seat. In addition, it is said that this year's special judges are all eccentric, and they may arouse the disgust of those judges if they speak out rashly. But this time, Xiao Liuzi had to report the name of the dish, because Shen Erniang didn't pay attention to him at all.

After Xiao Liuzi reported the name of the dish, she stepped forward and put a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup on the round table in front of her, and then looked at it. Observe Shen Erniang's reaction without a trace.

Shen Erniang didn't react, she shook the fan gently, and then her attention shifted from the fan to her red fingernails. She rubbed her big red nails dyed with impatiens, and said lightly;

"Withdraw, I don't eat duck blood." She spoke with a babyish voice that was not yet fully developed, and sounded a little shrill and hoarse. It's weird. Subconsciously, I got goosebumps.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even the judges who were about to taste it were stunned.

Generally speaking, the people who sit here as judges, even if a contestant makes something they don't like to eat during the competition, they can only bite the bullet and give the most fair judgment, which is the professional ethics of a judge, and it is also the respect for every contestant. So even if you come across something you don't like to eat. Even if this dislike sometimes leads to a little bit of personal emotion in the rating, but in the game. Almost no judges will let people remove their bowls without even taking a bite of them, which is not in line with the professional ethics and ethics of being a judge.

But Shen Erniang is different, Shen Erniang is just a special judge, and the special review is a temporary review with friendly participation, especially she is not the kind of judge who scores on the spot, so the judge really has no right to interfere with her approach, even if she says she doesn't want to eat, she can't use the evaluation criteria on the competition to restrain her, who let her be invited, who makes her a special judge, which is different from ordinary judges.

"What a hypocritical lady!" Hui Gan, who was sitting in the corner, shook his head, took a sip of the vermicelli, smacked his lips, and bent his eyebrows.

Xiao Liuzi, as the leader of Su Miao's group, even if he felt that Su Miao was unreliable in his daily life, he also knew that his elbow could not be turned out, so he was still very oriented towards Su Miao at the critical moment, so when Shen Erniang ordered him like that, his face turned green, he was a little angry, and he was even more dissatisfied with Shen Erniang who was like a child. It is impossible to let him withdraw, but it is difficult to achieve the confrontation with his identity, fortunately, he reacts quickly, two seconds after Shen Erniang's voice just fell, he put the tray in his hand in front of him, making a gesture that the waiter has completed a job, directly ignoring Shen Erniang's request, and said respectfully:

"The soup is already on it, Mrs. Shen, please use it slowly." With that, he turned around and walked away without looking back.

Shen Erniang glanced at his back, knowing that he didn't hear her clearly, but didn't pay attention to her at all, snorted from his nose, his eyes swept over the duck blood vermicelli soup on the table, just pursed his lips, but didn't move, it seems that she really doesn't eat duck blood, and I don't know if it's just because she hates it or if there is any special taboo.

"What kind of special judge, is it a judge, how can the dishes sent by the contestants be scored without even eating them, what the hell is going on with that woman!" Su Yan saw Shen Erniang's attitude towards her second sister's work, and her lungs were about to explode, her face flushed, and she said angrily.

"Although Shen Erniang is known as 'Liangdu's No. 1 soup', and the soup she cooks is indeed a must in Liangdu, her temperament is indeed a little weird, and she often speaks ill of her peers and tries her best to suppress it, so her reputation in the industry is not good." Aftertaste clasped his arms in his hands, stared at the judges' seats under the stage, and said lightly.

"If she's that kind of person, why would she be a judge?" Su Yan glared at him angrily and asked.

Aftertaste glanced at him, his tone was still as light as water, but he broke through the sky with one word:

"If you can get the approval of someone like her, that's the real winner."

"What you said is too ......" Although his statement was not wrong, this sentence sounded unpleasant, Zhao He didn't know what to say, and looked at him depressedly.

Aftertaste didn't speak, he glanced lightly at Su Miao, who was silently looking at the stage. She didn't say a word, her expression was calm, and she didn't see any anxiety. There was no panic, she looked at the audience quietly, calmly.

He glanced at her, then shifted his gaze to the bottom of the arena once more.

At this time, it was close to the hour, and before the soup was served, the judges, including the spectators in the audience, were very sleepy, and the people sitting inside the fence gate were fine. The spectators standing outside the fence gate had already changed several times, and the number of yawning people was dizzying, but when the mellow and delicious duck blood vermicelli Tang Fu went down. The entire crowd was boiling over, and spectators were scrambling for the scarce tasting spots, almost breaking their heads.

At the judging table, although the special judges had made it clear that she was not interested in duck blood. But that didn't stop the other judges from being curious about the duck blood vermicelli soup.

Duck blood vermicelli soup. It is made of duck blood, duck intestines, duck liver, duck gizzards, etc. added to duck soup and vermicelli, its taste is peaceful and natural, fresh and fragrant and smooth, salty in the north and south, and the flavor is unique.

A small bowl of vermicelli soup contains the deliciousness of duck. The duck fat is yellow and bright, the duck meat is crispy, and the duck intestines are crispy. The duck gizzard is refreshing, and the vermicelli is delicate. This small bowl of soup is the perfect combination of food and health traditions. Clear and thick, fat and fresh and smooth, the skin and glutinous meat rake, the hot and delicious vermicelli soup in addition to the spicy and salty soup is a little shallow, not easy to be noticed, but carefully tasted but quite a sense of existence of the slight acid, this slight acid is hidden in the deepest part of the duck soup, it is this slight acid to remove the fishy and astringent smell of the duck, in the softening of the meat to make the meat tender and delicious at the same time, so that the original umami of the duck soup has been raised to another level, fragrant, endless aftertaste.

Take a sip of soup, suck a mouthful of vermicelli, and bite a piece of duck blood, and people can't help but sigh that these inconspicuous things can be burned to make such a delicious taste in the world.

Gusu Saitai eats more, and purple sand is boiled in silver silk. Thousands of jade belts fall around the green, and the soup white Mid-Autumn Moon sees the maiden. Cloth scholars are gluttonous customers, and floating life is not poetry. If you want to praise the chef's fairy hand, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river.

As if to confirm this poem, on the judges' bench under the stage, many scholars dressed as judges changed their previous dignified and elegant, as if they were enjoying a gluttonous feast, grabbing a spoon and eating duck blood vermicelli soup one bite after another, completely ignoring the image, while eating, because the vermicelli soup was too hot, the mouth sizzled or whirred, and the slightly gentle, they all scooped up a spoonful and blew desperately, until it was half cool before eating it, and then let out a very free sigh:

"It's the first time to eat such a delicious duck soup, the duck soup I used to eat is either greasy and greasy, or the soup is not bad, but the duck meat is old and chewable, this soup is not only fresh enough, even the duck meat is so tender and delicious, and there is a faint sour taste in this soup, as if the vinegar is put in, but it is not so bland and monotonous as balsamic vinegar, it seems to be melted into the soup, although the flavor is unique but not strange at all, but very delicious, it is really rare!"

"The rarest thing is this duck blood, Xiao Sheng used to eat blood tofu in his hometown, it was made of pig blood, I didn't expect duck blood to be able to do this, and the blood tofu made is even more fragrant than pig blood, this taste, it's really amazing!" Another judge, who looked like a scholar, echoed and praised loudly, and a pair of eyes, which had always been dull because they were full of them, were now shining brighter than candles.

"Duck blood tofu with Luzhou's sweet potato fine vermicelli is not a waste, there are no less than ten kinds of fans on the stage, she was able to choose Luzhou's sweet potato powder with duck blood, but it took a lot of thought." Hui Gan supported his cheeks with one hand, bent his eyebrows, and said with a smile, this soup is salty, fresh and moist, mellow and delicious, sour and spicy and fragrant, it is indeed a must in the soup.

"This trip through Suzhou, but I have gained a lot." While eating, Liang Chang sighed softly, "Especially in this food, this time this king can be regarded as a teacher." ”

"How?" Hui Gan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Liang Chang swallowed the last mouthful of duck blood vermicelli before he spoke:

"This time I came to Suzhou mainly for the maize thing, but I didn't expect to be in the Dongping Hou Mansion but unexpectedly by your little brother and sister taught a lot of ways to cook maize, I went back that time and told the cook in the house to do, although the finished product is not as good as the fine rice noodles, but it tastes different. I won't mention the ones I ate after that, but now this soup has inspired me to make such a delicious taste in an ordinary bowl of soup. I thought about marching to the bitter cold land in the north later, before I only thought that drinking a soup soup water cost water and firewood and couldn't help but be hungry, today I saw her bowl of soup and suddenly remembered, the most important thing in the northern glaciers is water, why not follow her example, find a few things that can be eaten locally and cook them together with vermicelli to make soup, vermicelli is much better than food, or like the noodles she fried last time, together like her simple boiled out, the taste of cooking must be very delicious, In this way, the soldiers who traveled long distances to fight could not only satisfy their appetites, but also fill their stomachs, and drive away the cold, killing three birds with one stone, and the march would not be as bitter as before. ”

Hui Gan looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't forget to worry about the affairs of the army at this time, and loves soldiers like sons, and admires them." ”

Liang Chang was stunned, and then showed a little embarrassment on his face, and smiled:

"This king just saw this soup, his heart was touched, and he said it casually."

Hui Gan was still smiling.

At this moment, another team of men had already stepped forward and placed another white porcelain soup bowl next to the judges' hands, and at the same time, each soup was accompanied by a sesame roast cake that was placed in a small disc, palm-sized, crispy and delicious:

"This dish is the Gusu mutton soup of the fourth prince of Tong."

As soon as Su Yan saw the sesame baked cakes, he exploded: "Tong Ran is so cunning over there, he clearly said that he would cook the soup, how can he still make the baked cakes!" ”

"The rules just say that the soup is cooked, and it doesn't say that it is not allowed to make baked cakes, and now that his soup has been cooked, it is not a violation of the rules to serve it on the table with the baked cakes, and this mutton soup must be served with baked cakes to taste good." Aftertaste raised his eyebrows, said lightly, and glanced at Su Miao again.

Su Miao's expression was still faint, quietly watching the movement under the stage, and she didn't know if she was contemplating or absent-mindedly.

Regarding mutton soup, except for the review of Liang Dulai, the local judges of Qin'an Province did not have much favorability of this soup due to differences in eating habits.

At the moment when the Gusu mutton soup was served, the judges put down the duck blood vermicelli soup that made them unsatisfied, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and took a sip of iced tea to calm down the taste again.

The leader of Tong Ran's group of serving guys also personally brought the soup to the special judges' seat, and politely reported to Shen Erniang:

"Mrs. Shen, this is the Gusu mutton soup of the fourth prince of Tong."

Shen Erniang raised her eyelids and glanced at him, was silent for a while, and nodded lightly.

The man put the bowl of Gusu mutton soup on the round table.

Xiao Liuzi saw it from a distance, and gritted his teeth. (To be continued.) )
