It's just that her calmness made Wan Hongzhuang a little apprehensive, although he didn't have too high expectations for Xiaoyu.

He also didn't think that a person who knew anything about cooking could give him some advice.

But in his heart, there was inexplicable apprehension.

It's like waiting for the results after handing in the papers...... That anticipation.

It's incredibly quirky.

Xiaoyu still looked serious, but the expression on his face began to change, as if he wanted to break up and dissect the piece of fish.

"How?"

Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart any longer, Wan Hongzhuang asked tentatively.

Swallowing the fish, Xiaoyu nodded lightly, "It's not bad." ”

"Whew-" Wan Hongzhuang let out a sigh.

Not to feel like Atlas any longer.

I don't know if it's a disappointment or a surprise, in short, the three words "not bad", to put it bluntly, are there and muddy, not constructive at all.

It's a shame that he still unknowingly raised his expectations for Xiaoyu, and even he felt that it was a little ridiculous.

In other words, at this time, he doesn't need any advice at all, what he cares about...... It's just a light rain's evaluation, positive.

After all, he still took this game too seriously, so much so that he ...... It's a bit of a gain and a loss.

"Hmmm......"

Suddenly, a muffled gasp sounded.

Wan Hongzhuang looked up in a daze, only to see that Xiaoyu on the opposite side was pressing his head hard, and his body trembled slightly.

And her ears also obviously began to be red and hot, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be bursting with teardrops.

It's like the reaction of those judges when they eat the food.

"It's not that good, is it?" Wan Hongzhuang smiled weakly.

"Whew-"

Xiaoyu raised his head abruptly and gave him a fierce look, "Water...... Give me water, cool water! ”

At this time, even Wan Hongzhuang sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly got up, poured a glass of ice water to the side, and handed it to her.

Then, trembling and standing aside.

Xiaoyu took the water and poured a few sips violently, Xu felt that it was not enough, and drank the water "tons and tons", and drank the whole glass of water in an instant.

"You...... Okay? Wan Hongzhuang stood aside and asked weakly.

"You fish, why are you so spicy!" Xiaoyu pointed to the fish in front of her, and her face palpitated.

"Spicy!"

This evaluation really confused Wan Hongzhuang.

The grilled fish in front of him was made by him in the usual way, and he had been doing it in the store for so many years.

Not pride.

He thinks that whether it is the proportion of seasonings or the control of time, he is already perfect.

And most of the customers in their store, to put it bluntly, come for this grilled fish, and every time they eat it, they are full of praise.

How can it be spicy......

Hot...... Hot......

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his brows tightened.

He felt as if he had grasped something, but it was a little ethereal and not very clear.

He stretched out his chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and put it in his mouth.

- No problem, that's the smell.

Fresh, fragrant, salty, spicy, numb.

The compound flavor violently hit the taste buds, instantly making his forehead sweat, and his whole body was also refreshed.

"It's really spicy!"

Xiaoyu looked at him with a serious face, "Don't say it's me, I believe that most Ludao people may not be used to this taste!" ”

In his mind, a flash of lightning flashed.

Wan Hongzhuang's face was sluggish, stunned in place, "Spicy...... Heron Island ...... Taste ......"

He instantly captured the crux of the matter.

It's not a matter of the taste of the grilled fish, but of the eating habits, including the taste.

Ludao is close to the sea, so the local taste is more inclined to be clear, fresh and light, and more attention is paid to the original taste of the ingredients, spicy can be used as a spice, but it can never be the protagonist!

Although more and more tourists have come to Egret Island in recent years, and other cuisines such as Sichuan cuisine have begun to blossom all over Egret Island, for most Egret Islanders, the eating habits that have been inherited for thousands of years are not so easy to change.

Besides, most of the people they usually receive in the store are those who come from all over the country to work Egret Island, and their evaluation of grilled fish may have a certain reference significance, but it is not absolute!

Originally...... Here's the problem!

Wan Hongzhuang suddenly realized in an instant.

If he goes to the game with the way he is now, with a fixed mindset...... Although there may not be any twists and turns in the process, the final result is really hard to say......

After all, although Tiantian's restaurant specializes in Hunan cuisine, other dishes are also somewhat involved.

In foreign terms, it is fusion.

Then he should have a certain probability that he has improved or even innovated this grilled fish.

And the key to his ability to win the championship, although skill may occupy a certain proportion, but did he also find this problem?

It's really possible!

For a moment, Wan Hongzhuang only felt extremely annoyed.

He only hated himself at that time, and he was completely confused, but if he could observe more and understand more, he would not be as passive as he is now!

What to do?

Now he has to make a choice:

Whether to stick to his own path and use his signature grilled fish to shake it head-on and defeat Tiantian's provocation, or choose to take a detour, follow the understanding of the moment, and make certain adjustments.

There's really not much time left for him, if he really wants to adjust...... From this moment on, you have to start preparing, but this is the way of thinking......

He hadn't figured it out yet.

On the other end, Xiaoyu was holding his chin, his cheeks were red, and he was staring at him blankly...... It seems that it has not yet detached itself from the previous spicy shock.

"What should I do?" Wan Hongzhuang scratched his head embarrassedly, "Why don't you ...... Shall I make another one? ”

"Huh?"

Xiaoyu raised her head, her eyes were misty, and her red face was inexplicably cute, "Huh? ”

"I mean, since you can't eat spicy."

Wan Hong Zhuangbi drew and said, "Why don't I make a new one?" Or do you want to go and do something else and deal with this meal first? ”

"Don't!"

Xiaoyu shook her head vigorously, "This place ...... What a waste too, I ......"

She tilted her head, pondering.

If you say that you can still eat, you are obviously deceiving yourself, but if you don't eat it......

Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at Wan Hongzhuang...... She could feel the entanglement and apprehension in his heart at the moment.

She also knows the importance of this competition for Wan Hongzhuang, whether it is the unwillingness on his face or the confusion.

"I ......"

She's still struggling.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she thought of something, "I have a way!" ”
