The lucky tourists were drawn to the end, and the selected tourists rushed to the food hall in the exhibition hall battery car.

Director Du of the Organizing Committee of the Expo took the stage at this time to introduce the leaders and guests attending the culinary showdown, and began to deliver a speech.

Leaders have always sought to be strategic, thoughtful, and thoughtful, and those who do not understand the connotation behind those clichés will sound cloudy and boring.

Although Director Du is already one of the few leaders who likes to make a long story short, when he finished reading the whole set of manuscripts, even the lucky tourists who came later were a little impatient.

At the end of the speech, when Director Du said "please referee in place", there was warm and sincere applause inside and outside the field.

Director Du returned to his position, and the three referees elected by the famous stores participating in the exhibition officially took the stage.

The three referees, two men and one woman, surnamed Zhong, Lai and Liao, are the famous traditional snack leaders in Shudu. They are also directors of the Shudu Cuisine Association, regardless of their seniority and identity in the culinary industry, they are enough to preside over this culinary showdown.

The representative of the referee surnamed Lai first read out the rules of the cooking showdown, and then asked Fang Yu and Ma Hao to confirm the "Agreement" respectively.

When both of them have expressed no objection to the "Letter of Agreement", they write down the demands they will make to each other if they win, and then sign them.

Fang Yu quickly wrote down six words, closed the signed "Agreement", and handed it over to the three referees for inspection and notarization.

He saw that Ma Hao was still writing hard, and he was a little curious, and couldn't help asking:

"What do you guess Mahao will ask for? Do you want me to shout 'I'm a pig' three times in public? ”

Flavor replied lazily: "Ma Hao is not a mentally handicapped child like Du Changfeng, how can he make such a naïve request." ”

"Not necessarily, maybe he will make that request in order to please Du Changfeng."

Wei sneered: "I see that his face is selfish and sinister, with strong desires, and he is an ambitious guy. Now that he has the opportunity to open his mouth, he will never ask for anything but him. I can even bet that his request is nothing more than the word 'money power'. ”

Fang Yu smiled slightly, but he didn't make this bet with Wei Zhen.

After reading the conditions proposed by the two, the referee discussed them in a whisper, and decided that there was no violation of national laws and the rules of the Culinary Association, so they signed their names.

Lin Xiaoxiao, Qian Duoduo, and Qi Yi nervously watched the referee announce the official start of the cooking showdown.

The first to taste the food of the two were the five leaders who sat in the front row on the left.

Sitting in the middle is Minister Xu of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, who is one of the few female leaders in the Municipal Party Committee, but has always been known for her courage to speak and do, and to act resolutely.

Usually she is busy with official business, and she is not very particular about eating, and often eats something casually to deal with the missed meal. Therefore, she is not at all interested in today's culinary showdown.

On the other hand, Shuxianghui Group is a big taxpayer in the city, and Du Feibai is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Township Elder Home composed of celebrities from all walks of life

When Fang Yu's breeze rice and Ma Hao's cold pot fish were brought to her, she couldn't help but praise her, who had never had any preference for food.

Fangyu's breeze rice is brightly colored and beautifully presented, and the cold mist rises on the chilled glutinous rice, and the wisps of dark fragrance are lightly sent, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.

Ma Hao's cold pot fish soup is red and bright, the aroma is strong, and the snow-white and delicate fish fillets float and sink in the soup, just like a jade beauty dancing in red glow, hot and attractive.

Faced with this choice of ice and fire, Minister Xu hesitated for a moment, but chose Ma Hao's cold pot fish first.

As a native of Haixi Province, Minister Xu doesn't really like spicy food, but as a leader, she must show her attention and support for Shu Xianghui and Du Feibai.

She picked up a fillet of fish, shook off the dense red oil as much as she could, and summoned up the courage to put it in her mouth.

The smoothness and tenderness of the fish fillet was completely unexpected by Minister Xu, and the fish fillet that seemed to be a little tough did not need to be chewed at all, and it easily melted away as soon as he took a sip of it.

The magical taste was followed by a thick sweet taste, which was like thousands of live fish surging on the rolling waves of the river, making Minister Xu feel that his eyes were white and vast, and his mouth was full of shock.

This wave of delicious and abnormal taste tide rushed to the peak of the taste buds, but it did not immediately recede, and the spicy taste hidden under the waves was suddenly revealed, instantly dyeing this white tide into bright red, like magma gushing out of the ground.

"It's hot! It's spicy! Minister Xu felt as if his tongue had been put in the oven, and it hurt hotly.

But to her surprise, she didn't seem to hate this feeling, but was a little excited, and the cells all over her body were urging her to "eat another tablet, eat another table..."

When the five pieces of food were delivered to the guest seats, Lin Xiaoxiao and the others stared closely at the leaders, wanting to see their reactions to the food of the two.

When they found that almost all the leaders chose the cold pot fish first, Lin Xiaoxiao and they subconsciously clenched their fists.

Lin Qiao, who was in charge of the live recording, was also very surprised, the five leaders in front of the camera were like chopsticks, the second batch of cold pot fish had not yet been prepared, and there were very few fish fillets in their bowls.

This phenomenon is too abnormal, as a leader, they chose to taste the cold pot fish first This is an attitude, and she can completely understand it.

But shouldn't the normal operation be like this: first taste a piece of cold pot fish, nod slightly to express satisfaction, then taste a bite of fresh breeze rice, express a little appreciation, and then hold back your appetite, put down the chopsticks, and pretend to be expressionless.

But now these leaders are all munching happily, and even Minister Xu, who has always paid attention to his personal image, behaves so casually in front of the camera. Even if Shu Xianghui reached some off-stage deals with these leaders behind the scenes, it is impossible for them to perform so pompously. It's so abnormal that it's hard to explain.

Lin Qiao guessed in his heart, and his finger lightly clicked on the virtual studio software, and the picture on the big screen of the exhibition hall was dispatched from the five leaders eating heartily to the camera where Fang Yu was filmed.

"The start of today's showdown is too weird, it's a pity that I can only help you so much." Lin Qiao whispered.

Mu Xueqi, who was in charge of the live webcast, didn't think as much as Lin Qiao thought, she just felt that if she live-streamed the eating of several leaders, she might take jujube pills.

So she cleverly avoided that piece, ran to Ma Hao's side to shoot him making cold pot fish, and from time to time answered netizens' questions with her trademark baby voice, or posed cute to sell cuteness.

Anyway, as an online anchor invited by Shuxianglou, she naturally has to show an attitude that is in line with her position.

Mu Xueqi is worthy of being a popular anchor, and she has just started live broadcasting, and the flow of people in the room has exceeded 50,000. Under the coaxing of a group of iron fans, a wave of gifts was also set off.

After thanking the fans who gave the gifts, Mu Xueqi turned the screen of her phone back to Ma Hao, who was making a new batch of cold pot fish.

At this time, a few sharp-eyed people in the live broadcast room discovered that the fish fillets used by Ma Hao to make cold pot fish were actually taken out of a large jar, not freshly killed fish.

They immediately shared their findings in the live broadcast room, but they didn't expect it to immediately cause controversy among everyone.

"My eyes are glazed, just now I saw that the chef seemed to be bringing fish fillets from a jar."

"I see it too, and it does."

"How can the fillet be taken out of the jar, shouldn't live fish be used?"

"Yes, not always pay attention to eating fish, it is better to eat it freshly. If you put the fish in the jar in this weather, won't it all stink? ”

"yes, didn't he kill the fish in advance in order to make the live production faster?"

"No, I think there are other reasons."

"I also think he's just trying to save trouble. I went to the scene yesterday, and this chef cooks freshly cooked fish in a cold pot. Today, he has to make a hundred copies at once, and he can't be busy killing fish by himself, so of course he has to find a way to save time. ”

"People are high-level chefs from famous families, how can they smash their own signatures in order to save time, I think there are other intentions."

"I don't think you're right....."

In the live broadcast room, a group of people competed for the smell of gunpowder, and the scene became a little chaotic.

Mu Xueqi saw that everyone was taken away by this controversy, and hurriedly said:

"Everyone, don't argue, I'll ask Chef Ma directly, and the friends who guessed correctly will put a salute flower to celebrate."

The live broadcast room immediately responded to a flood of responses.

"Okay, listen to Sister Xueqi. If I'm guessing correctly, I'll put a big rocket in a minute. ”

"The goddess spoke, hurry up and line up to watch."

Mu Xueqi interacted with the people in the live broadcast room for a few words, and saw that Ma Haodi had finished another wave of cold pot fish, and stepped forward and asked in a cute baby voice:

"Chef Ma, can you tell me why you use the fish in the jar instead of the live fish that you kill first?"
