"It's an ingredient from my hometown, and it tastes a little pungent, so you can taste it." Chen Youyi took one and gave it to him.

The man really tasted it, but after taking a bite, the spicy taste spread in his mouth, and where he touched the chili pepper, it was hot and painful, for him this feeling was pain, but for Chen Youyi, it was a kind of spicy.

Seeing that the person frowned tightly and covered his mouth and hid aside, Chen Youyi smiled faintly and explained, "This kind of seasoning is not used in ordinary kitchens, but if you want to really make some authentic southern dishes, you still need to use these things." ”

After that, Chen Youyi began to open up, Mo Xincheng didn't do anything in the kitchen, so there was no place to intervene for a while, so he could only stand on the side, Chen Youyi told him to do something, and he would do something.

The back kitchen of Fulin Restaurant is very large, and there are all the ingredients you want, and even some of them are uncommon ingredients, and there are a lot of them here, so it is well deserved to say that Fulin Restaurant is the largest and best restaurant in the local area, which Chen Youyi herself admits.

Within the stipulated time, Chen Youyi and the chef made the dishes they requested, and the whole kitchen was full of fragrance.

It's just that there is a special smell in this scent, which no one has ever smelled.

Because he wanted to let passers-by taste it, Qi Shengtian asked twenty people on the road to invite them to the store and let them wait to taste these two dishes.

After Chen Youyi and the chef were ready, they brought out the two dishes and placed them in the center of the twenty people, allowing them to taste them in turn.

For this matter, Chen Youyi is not 100% sure that she can win, after all, she is not sure whether the people here like the taste of chili peppers, in order to make them more accustomed to this taste, Chen Youyi pays special attention when putting chili peppers.

First of all, the amount of peppers is relatively small, just to make them a little spicy, and after putting in the peppers, when the peppers are fried, she will take out all the peppers and put them aside, so the whole dish looks like no peppers.

It's just that when you taste it, there will be a little spicy, and with other seasonings, the pungent nature of this spicy taste will be softer and more acceptable.

So in the end, it depends on the results of these people's tasting.

The people didn't know what was going on here, they just told them to taste two dishes, and then said which one was better, and the rest was not demanding.

In addition to these twenty people, the doors and windows of the entire Fulin Restaurant were blocked by people, and there were far more people watching the excitement than inside.

Before letting them taste it, they put a small box in front of each dish, and when they have tasted the two dishes, they take a small ball and put it in the small box next to the dish they think is better.

This model was also proposed by Chen Youyi, which is similar to some modern voting competitions, but fortunately, Qi Shengtian did not object.

At the beginning of the tasting, those who lined up, all holding a pair of chopsticks in their hands, came to the table and began to taste one by one.

This made Chen Youyi's heart suddenly lift, is it because these people tasted the taste of chili peppers for the first time, so they don't like it?

This situation is also universal, after all, the taste of chili pepper is not acceptable to everyone, but after accepting it, people are generally not spicy and unhappy.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and she began to be a little worried, while Qi Shengtian looked at her with a smile, and saw that Chen Youyi's little face was about to be twisted together, his smile deepened, but he didn't say anything, and once again fell his gaze on the two dishes.

From the outside, the color of the dish at Fulin Restaurant is lighter, while the dish made by Chen Youyi is slightly reddish in color, which is the reason for the chili pepper.

After the seventh person began to taste the food, he began to put the first ball in the box on Chen Youyi's side, and then all five people in a row put the ball here.

In other words, the dish made by Chen Youyi is only one point different from the dish made by Fulin Restaurant.

After that, two more people put it on the side of the dish in Fulin Restaurant, which made Chen Youyi satisfied, and since then, everyone in the back has put the ball on Chen Youyi's side.

In the end, the dishes of Fulin Restaurant scored eight points, while the dishes of Chen Youyi's side scored twelve points, and the gap was still obvious.

After everyone finished eating, Qi Shengtian instantly stood up and turned around and walked into the inner hall, and the cook standing on the side trembled with fright, and followed Qi Shengtian to the inner hall.

If Chen Youyi wins this time, then what he has to do next is much more certain.

Some of the guests who ate in the inner hall were used to eating the leeks on Fulin's side, and they didn't believe that this man's craftsmanship was even better than the chef of Fulin Restaurant, so the curious people went up and tasted it.

"This taste is something I have never tasted before, I have eaten so many expensive dishes, I have never tasted this kind of taste, some numb, some ......"

It seems that the diners here can't describe what the taste of this chili is like, and the closer to this feeling is that it still hurts.

Not long after Qi Shengtian left, a junior in the store stepped forward to talk to Chen Youyi, "Boss Qi asked you to talk inside." ”

Chen Youyi nodded, and then took Mo Xincheng to follow the little two to the backyard, don't go to the noise in front, walking in here seems to be unusually quiet, and the surrounding layout is very elegant, through a small door, you will see a square corridor, along this corridor is a small door, enter this door and enter the backyard, in the middle of this square corridor, there is a pool of water, and some lotus flowers are planted in the pool.

This shocked Chen Youyi, there are lotus flowers here, Qi Shengtian's status can be imagined, although lotus flowers are not particularly rare varieties, but they are also quite rare in this era, especially in the inner courtyard, except for those who have royal power and wealth, there are very few other people.

followed the little second to the hall in the backyard, Qi Shengtian was sitting upright in the hall, and stood up when he saw Chen Youyi coming.

She hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Today's competition is considered as your victory, I will count my words, I don't charge a penny for the food you eat here today, I just called you over to ask you something."

"If Boss Qi has anything to ask, just open your mouth, I will definitely say everything."

Qi Shengtian looked at Chen Youyi again, "I don't know what you do, why do you have such a deep study of Jiangnan cuisine?" ”
