Chapter 90: Luoyang Water Seat
It is appropriate to use indecision and hesitation to describe Erina Nagikiri's psychology at the moment, but the other four judges have already finished voting, Egumo Kaede by Gin Dojima and Shingo Ando voted for Jiang Yunfeng, and Shushi Kita and Kojiro Shinomiya chose Akane Kubo Momo, the score is now 2 to 2, and the vote in his hand determines who will win, taking away the million-dollar championship prize, as well as the autographed works of the two otaku masters who made him blush.
"What to do... What to do???? Erina Nagikiri wanted her nails, and the whole audience was looking at herself, if she voted for Jiang Yunfeng, she would be able to satisfy her selfish desires, take home the works of the two masters, and enrich her collection, but she failed to live up to the objectivity and fairness that you should have as a judge. If you vote for a Akane Kubo Momo, you will fulfill your duties as a judge, but the treasures that are at your fingertips will fall into the arms of others, and the selfish desires in your heart will torment you all night, and another important reason why Erina Nagikiri is indecisive is that the difference in the level of desserts between the two sides is extremely subtle, almost negligible, and no one will doubt the fairness of the 'Tongue of God' no matter which side you vote for. "Ahhh Erina Nagikiri shouted a few times, opened her bow left and right, scooped up the dessert of the two and put it into her mouth at the same time, and then closed her eyes and savored it. For the first time, it was the first time that Miss Erina Nagikiri, the 'Tongue of God', had contracted to taste a dish twice in a public venue, and it was not only several judges such as Dojima Silver who were shocked, but even the viewers who were watching the broadcast all over Japan were also discussing, and the major portals and social media sites on the Internet were also discussing, all of them believed that the two contestants were strong and the dessert level was the same, which made it so difficult to choose Erina Nagikiri, who had the 'Tongue of God'.
"The gap, where is the gap?" Erina Nagikiri closed her eyes tightly and focused all her attention on the tip of her tongue, hoping to find even the slightest difference through her 'tongue of God' and convince herself to uphold fairness and objectivity. In the quiet night sky, there are bright stars and bright moons, and the river by the river that flows calmly is lifted, Akane Kubo Tao and Jiang Yunfeng want to stand at a distance, a warm breeze blows, gorgeous cherry blossoms fall between the two, the meteor white feather light comes out of the box, a sword is traceless and the snow is all over the mountain, Jiang Yunfeng holds a three-foot Qingfeng, a move Canglong out of the water is rapidly approaching, Akane Kubo Tao dodges sideways, but Jiang Yunfeng makes a move too quickly or is taken away from a corner of his clothes, his eyes are sharp, manual, the wind rises, the cold light appears, Juhe draws his knife, Jiang Yunfeng leaned back and dodged the perfect arc drawn by Akane Kubo Tao with a move 'Wild Goose Back to the Rising Sun', each with an empty move to show friendship, the two sides looked at each other and smiled, sympathizing with each other, and the electric light and flint fought in one place, the wind and the geese fell, the Yuntai fell three times, the sword intent without a trace, the rain fell and the clouds flew, the Tianfeng Five Cloud Sword, the Feiyan Moon, Jiang Yunfeng's set of clouds and flowing offensives made Akane Kubo Tao have no time to counterattack, seize a gap, Akane Kubo Peach made a move' Yan anti' seized the initiative, unforgiving, robe, cut off the water flow, night battle in all directions, the two of them staggered, suddenly looked back, both wanted to end the battle with one move, Jiang Yunfeng, who was rushing forward, suddenly stepped on something and slipped under his feet, and rolled down from the river embankment into the river, it was this, the 'Tongue of God' keenly captured this subtle gap, Erina Nagi woke up from the artistic conception, "snap", and the jade hand slapped heavily on the voting machine.
Fireworks that have been prepared for a long time on the side of the arena are also set off at the same time, and the 3D projection area presents the bust of the champion of the game, Akane Kubo. The audience gave a standing ovation to congratulate the birth of the champion, Jiang Yunfeng also smiled and applauded to congratulate, as the fourth seat of the Ten Masters of Yuanyue, Senior Sister Tao deserves to win the championship, and now what bothers me is how to solve the problem of the leave slip, it seems that I am going to pit a handful of seniors again.
Akane Kubo Momo took the prize from Kita Shushi, bowed and thanked him, walked in front of Jiang Yunfeng, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said, "Senior Brother Jiang Yunfeng, you are also very powerful, I look forward to fighting you again next time." Holding the little hand in front of him, Jiang Yunfeng smiled open-mindedly, "Senior Sister Tao is also very strong, and I will ask Senior Sister more about desserts in the future." ”
"Because ... The junior didn't agree to my request before the game... So.... I won't give you this bonus. ”
“。。。。。。。。。。。。”
Dojima Gin stirred the 'Moon in the Well' in his hand, scooped up and tasted the 'Flower in the Mirror' with Akane Kubo Momo's again, and couldn't tell the difference, looking at Shinomiya Kojiro and the answer he got was just shaking his head. Put down the food in your hand, smile bitterly as if self-deprecating, what are you still thinking about with the 'tongue of God'? So he turned his head and asked, "Miss Erina, from that aspect did you judge that Jiang Yunfeng's cuisine is not as good as Akane Kubo Momo?" ”
"Then why did the seniors of Tangdao vote for Jiang Yunfeng?" Erina Nagikiri did not answer the rhetorical question.
"From the dessert itself, there is no difference between the two, or I can't tell the difference between the two, I can only vote based on personal preference, I prefer sweeter."
Erina Nagikiri nodded thoughtfully, and replied, "Dojima-senpai himself prefers sweeter dishes, no wonder I can't tell the difference, but according to my 'Tongue of God' analysis, maybe it's because Jiang Yunfeng didn't have a good cold, and his mouth taste is not flexible, and the 'almond tofu' he made put a few grams of extra sugar, which is too sweet compared to Akane Kubo's dessert, so I only found this slight difference, if he didn't have a cold, I couldn't tell it... ”
Dojima Silver touched the board on his head and laughed, "I see! Ha ha... ”
The next day, the mainstream media all over Japan commented on the finals of the dessert contest, and unanimously agreed that Jiang Yunfeng was sick all the way to the finals, and finally tried his best, but he hated to lose due to physical reasons, although he was the runner-up, but the opponent was the fourth seat of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon, and the score was once stale, and finally 3-2 Akane Kubo Tao narrowly won by one point, although Jiang Yunfeng was defeated, it was the first time in the Japanese cuisine industry to report such a tolerant attitude towards a loser.
"Na Na~~ Miss, I'm sorry... Failed to bring back what you wanted... Yes.... Yes, yes, my fault ... The thing about the leave slip ... Okay, thank you so much... If there is anything in the future, you can tell it!! Jiang Yunfeng patted his chest and put away his mobile phone and ended the call, "Ai-chan, this time I'm going to bother the seniors to write a report... He kissed the figure on his hand, then received the travel bag, zipped it up, took it up and looked at what he had left behind, and left the dormitory.
There was a sign of 'Temporarily Suspended' hanging outside the door of the 'Cat House', so only the Xianzi of the Criminal Department and Jiang Yutong were waiting for Jiang Yunfeng in the deserted hall, and when he saw his younger brother coming down, Jiang Yutong immediately stepped forward with a tissue to help wipe the sweat on his forehead, and scolded softly in distress, "Look at you, what are you doing in such a hurry, sweating profusely, have you brought all your things, has anything fallen?" ”
"I've got it all, I don't have any other luggage, just a few changes of clothes, let's go, store manager, go and help the old man prepare dinner early, ah~sister~~ Don't bite my ears.。。 As soon as Jiang Yunfeng finished answering, his sister bit his ear and let out an exclamation. Xianzi of the Criminal Department looked at this pair of living treasure sisters and brothers, smiled "poof", extinguished the lady's cigarette in his hand, got up and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, let's go through the back door." After that, beckoned the two to follow, went out of the back door of the 'cat house', passed through the alley, and a luxury car was parked at the intersection, and several people in black saw the arrival of the criminal department, and bowed on the side of the road, and said in unison, "Miss, good afternoon!" Then he took the initiative to open the back door of the car. Jiang Yunfeng handed over the travel bag to the man in black, pulled his sister into the car, and left Akihabara all the way into Asakusa District as if traveling through time and space, high-rise buildings disappeared out of the car window in an instant, and all that came into view was a quaint Japanese-style courtyard. In the end, the car stopped in front of a huge Japanese-style courtyard, Jiang Yunfeng looked at the courtyard in front of him with the words "Criminal Department" engraved on the door plate, and sighed that its scale was comparable to the main house of Nagiri in the Yuanyue Tea House, and he could buy such a large piece of land to build a house in Tokyo, where every inch of land was valuable, the store manager's house was really extraordinary, the heavy black lacquered wooden door slowly opened, revealing a straight main road, and hundreds of uniformly dressed men in black suits on both sides of the bluestone road stood neatly on the side of the road, bowed at the same time, and said in unison, "Miss!" Welcome home! The strings of the criminal department walked on the bluestone road with their heads held high like the empress returning to the palace, followed by Jiang Yunfeng and Jiang Yutong.
As soon as the old naughty old man of the criminal department in the main hall saw Jiang Yunfeng coming in, he immediately jumped up, grabbed Jiang Yunfeng's hand, and said excitedly, "Young man, I have all the materials you want, many of them are specially sent to China to be procured and shipped back by air immediately, old man tonight, my face depends on you." ”
"Don't worry, old man." Jiang Yunfeng patted his chest and said firmly, "Tonight, I will be in charge and make a full set of 24-course Luoyang water banquets for the old man, so as to ensure that the legacy of the Tang Dynasty will be more face-saving." ”
"That's good~hehe~ That's good.."
At the same time, in the congested streets of Tokyo, in a black car, Erina Nagikiri put down her mobile phone and said to the old man sitting next to her, "Grandpa, am I really going too, this is a gathering of a few of your old friends, is it inappropriate for me to go?" Nagi Senzaemon smiled, and said lovingly, "The old guy said that he got a very good cook, and you just happened to go and see the master's handiwork. (To be continued)
