The result came out quickly, which was completely unexpected by Bai Qidong, but the result surprised him very much.

As an acquaintance, Secretary Ma is towards Bai Qidong.

Of course, he was also afraid that the bamboo rat meat made by Wang Mingyuan would be too bad and cause Zhou Ju's dissatisfaction, so he led Zhou Ju to taste the pot made by Bai Qidong first.

Just to be on the safe side.

Zhou Ju really took the casserole made by Bai Qidong first, and after a little rummaging, he picked out a piece and put it in his mouth and blew it, then stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and soon his eyes lit up: "Yes, good craftsmanship, much better than what we ate back then...... Well, this other pot, the soup looks very rich, and it seems to be very good! ”

As he spoke, he also fished out a piece from the pot made by Wang Mingyuan, and also put it on his mouth to blow and cool, blowing and blowing, but he suddenly fanned it with his hand, and he didn't eat it, but smelled it with a strange expression.

Zhou Ju's abnormal behavior made Bai Qidong and Secretary Ma's expressions a little strange.

Did you smell something wrong?

A slight smile appeared on Bai Qidong's face.

Secretary Ma hurriedly asked, "Zhou Ju, does this pot taste wrong?" If you're not satisfied, I'll let them go! After speaking, he looked up at Wang Mingyuan, frowned slightly, and winked.

Wang Mingyuan twisted his head to the side, pretending not to see it.

Seeing this, Secretary Ma's face became a little ugly.

If it weren't for the presence of Zhou Ju, he really wanted to stand up and scold this young man, it was too uninteresting.

"Don't, this smell is obsessive!"

Zhou Ju suddenly spoke: "How can there be such a fragrant smell, the smell is so attractive, and the smell of meat must be even worse." ”

He couldn't wait to put the meat in his mouth, closed his eyes with great enjoyment, chewed slowly, and waited for the bamboo rat meat to go down, and then opened his eyes: "Okay, well done." The fishy smell is handled just right, the meat is very tender, and it does not lose its elasticity and chewiness, I am also a glutton, I think I have eaten a lot of good things, and it is the first time that I have eaten such a delicious food. Secretary Ma, you really found me a good place! ”

Then, he looked back at Bai Qidong: "Master, this craft is really amazing." ”

If it's really a sentence, the judgment will be made.

However, it seems that the praise is the wrong person.

At this time, not only Secretary Ma was a little dumbfounded, but even Bai Qidong, who was full of confidence, was stunned on the spot.

"I'll taste it too!" Secretary Ma took the dishes and chopsticks suspiciously, tasted Bai Qidong's first, and then tasted Wang Mingyuan's pot, the meat was still chewing in his mouth, so he had to look up at Bai Qidong and shook his head slightly: "It's really a rare delicacy." ”

Bai Qidong looked at Wang Mingyuan, who was on the side with a calm face, he immediately went back to the kitchen, took another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and didn't ask the two of them, he directly got off the chopsticks and fished out a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it, the more he chewed, the more ugly his face became, and he specially scooped a little soup from the pot, blew it gently, sucked it into his mouth, and his face became more and more ugly.

Zhou Ju, who still didn't know why, looked at Bai Qidong a little inexplicably.

Bai Qidong's demeanor just now was not very polite.

Also, don't you know what the taste of your own food is?

There are quirks!

But seeing Bai Qidong slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, he let out a long sigh and was silent for a while before he looked at Wang Mingyuan with a wry smile: "You won!" ”

With the exit of these words, Bai Qidong's whole person's strong spiritual head was like a deflated ball, which quickly disappeared for most of the time, and his back that had been standing up was a lot, and he seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and then walked out of the house without saying a word.

"What's going on?" Zhou Ju looked at Secretary Ma and asked.

"This pot of bamboo rat meat is stewed by this little brother!"

At this time, Secretary Ma was very smart not to mention the gambling contract between Bai Qidong and Wang Mingyuan, it really happened in case...... Bai Qidong's face was slapped hard, and if he mentioned it again, it would be tantamount to falling into a well.

Zhou Ju looked at Wang Mingyuan unexpectedly, he now somewhat understood Bai Qidong's strange reaction, but he didn't feel strange: "Good boy, it's really blue, master, you have accepted a good apprentice!" ”

This is to treat Wang Mingyuan as Bai Qidong's apprentice.

"The weekly game is just a matter of what you have made to your appetite, and it is not worth mentioning." Wang Mingyuan smiled and avoided the gambling contract.

"It's humble...... That's right, no wonder you have this level at a young age, and humility makes people progress! Zhou Ju suddenly lowered his voice: "Can you tell me about this recipe, I rarely come to this Mangxian County, if I go back, I'm afraid I don't know when I will be able to eat such a delicious thing." “

"What can't be said about this......"

He immediately explained the recipe for the consommé hot pot base, and deliberately emphasized stir-frying to remove the flavor, as well as the broth trimmings made with pork leg bones, chicken bones, ham slices, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo sunflower and other things.

Well, there's really nothing that can't be said.

This clear soup hot pot base is in 2023, but it is a very common thing that is slightly more expensive than the general base, and as for the other big ingredients, there are only a few things.

Wang Mingyuan knew that it was not that his cooking skills were really bad, compared to Bai Qidong, it was a big difference, but the seasoning used was superior.

In this era, there is a shortage of materials, and it is difficult to gather so many things!

Not to mention that he also used a lot of refined condiments, deliberately searched for the most popular bamboo rat recipes on the Internet, and prepared fresh and dried products such as bamboo shoots and mushrooms that are difficult to get in the current era.

In the final analysis, Wang Mingyuan is actually a little invincible, and with the same materials, he feels that he has no chance of winning.

Zhou Ju deserved to be a glutton, and even took out the small notebook in his pocket and wrote down the seasonings and cooking steps used by Wang Mingyuan, and then asked with a smile: "What is the name of the little brother?" ”

"Wang Mingyuan!" Seeing that there are no outsiders, Wang Mingyuan reported his real name.

Zhou Ju nodded: "My name is Zhou Jianjun, from the Mingcheng Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, if you have the opportunity to come to Mingcheng in the future, you must come to me, so that I can try your craftsmanship again." ”

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to you!"

After finally dealing with the Zhou game, Wang Mingyuan quietly exited the room, and then turned around and went to the backyard.

At this time, Bai Qidong's children and a group of apprentices were silently gathered in front of a hut, through the open door, the dim oil lamp flickered, and Bai Qidong could be seen kneeling upright in front of several tablets in the room.

Seeing Wang Mingyuan coming in, Li Haibo and Wang Tieling hurriedly greeted him.

"What's the situation?" Li Haibo hurriedly asked.

In this backyard, the atmosphere is too oppressive.

"Win?" Wang Tieling asked in a low voice.

Wang Mingyuan nodded silently and didn't say anything more. Then, he looked at Bai Qidong, who was kneeling in the hut, and got into the crowd: "Do you know why I have to compare with you?" It's not for any big deal, you think that when I say that your cooking is not delicious, it is a suspicion of your craftsmanship and an insult, but you often make people kneel down and apologize, but it is a trampling on my dignity.

You are so arrogant, so arrogant that you don't want to take a good look at the people and things around you, or even the whole world, but you don't know that everything is changing, and you are just resting on your laurels...... At such an old age, and still so irritable, shouldn't it be back to basics? ”

After Wang Mingyuan finished speaking, he took out two packets of hot pot base materials held in newspaper after unpacking from the bag, one packet of clear soup and one packet of red soup, and handed them to Bai Qidong: "This is the all-purpose soup base I prepared, go back and taste it!" ”

Bai Qidong looked at the things handed to him in a daze, slowly stood up, and glanced at Wang Mingyuan deeply before catching the things.

Wang Mingyuan smiled at Bai Qidong, turned around and left.

Holding the hot pot base of the later generations and pretending to be unashamed, Wang Mingyuan felt awkward in his heart, and he felt a little unbearable.

Well...... The hot pot base is almost omnipotent, it seems that whatever you put in it, once you boil it, it will become delicious.

Didn't you say it all, there's nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot, if there is, then have another meal!

Let's get out of here.

This face is already loud enough!

As for Bai Qidong's so-called inheritance, in Wang Mingyuan's opinion, I am afraid that it is a little unworthy of the name, otherwise, Bai Qidong would not have made such a bamboo rat meat that was not handled properly with the fishy smell, so forget it.

He walked out of the crowd and greeted Li Haibo and Wang Tieling: "Two brothers, let's go, let's eat in another place, I'm still hungry." ”

The two nodded, followed Wang Mingyuan and turned around and left.

"Wait!" Just when the three of them were about to leave the doorway in the backyard, Bai Qidong's voice suddenly came.

Wang Mingyuan looked back, Bai Qidong held a box and walked over quickly: "I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and I am convinced to lose." ”

He said and handed the box to Wang Mingyuan.
