Chapter 15: Chef King, I'm Done!
"I'm not convinced!" Xiong Shoushan let out an angry roar, even forgetting that this was a "sacred" fighting arena.
But this is also something that can't be helped, after all, he and the Cihang Gang have used the loopholes of this rural douwei field more than once to cheat over the years.
If you take advantage of too many rules, you will naturally lose a little respect for the rules.
Xiong Shoushan's roar obviously made the three judges quite unhappy, although they are just the "Jun" word gourmets who have just entered the threshold of the high-end bureau, and there are also kings, stars, chen, yao, ancestors, royals, Qing, emperors, emperors, etc., but after all, they are also into the grade, and they can easily mix the title of professor in those famous universities.
Xiong Shanjun, a chef who doesn't even have a special chef assessment, dares to object to the assessment on the spot, which is like a candidate suddenly standing up in the college entrance examination room and yelling at the invigilator to help others cheat.
But they still have to endure it, after all, the contestants have all complained about cheating, even if they wear small shoes afterwards, at least they still have to deal with it first.
The staff of the Douwei Arena was also a little helpless about this situation, and immediately prepared to contact the review, but Sun Xingzhi jumped out at this time and pointed to the rest of the dishes:
"Don't be so troublesome, isn't there room for both players to eat each other? Wouldn't it be nice to let this stupid big guy taste our Chen Shanzang's roasted steamed buns? β
"Eat it!" Xiong Shoushan had already realized that he was impulsive at this time, but the words had already been spoken, and even if he admitted it, he couldn't erase the fact that he had offended the three judges, so he simply picked up the baked steamed bun that belonged to him and stuffed it into his mouth.
At first, the action was extremely violent, but as the steamed buns continued to roll and crush in that big mouth, Xiong Shoushan's chewing frequency slowly decreased, and at this time, Chen Shanzang also picked up Xiong Shoushan's honey cake, divided half of it to Shun Lie, and then ate it in small bites, nodding his head while eating.
Shun Lie saw that the corners of his eyes twitched, and he immediately patted Chen Shanzang's head, and sighed:
"What are you nodding! Do you know why you won? β
"I don't know." Chen Shanzang shook his head confidently, then took another bite of the cake, and said a little dazedly:
"Actually, I think this cake is quite delicious, well, better than my steamed buns."
Hearing Chen Shanzang's words, Xiong Shoushan, who was already like a weathered stone statue, slammed his head and looked at Chen Shanzang in disbelief, while Shun Lie shook his head helplessly, first glanced at the three judges, and saw that they did not show embarrassed expressions, then said:
"This stupid big guy is really better than you when it comes to desserts, but he has a problem with the question."
"Something is wrong with me! You said that I didn't do as well as him, but I pinched the ratio of smoking and roasting very accurately, and definitely didn't deviate from the topic! When Xiong Shoushan heard Shun Lie's words, he immediately became anxious, but Shun Lie just put the honey cake roll that had taken a small bite on the plate, and said with the expression of a primary school student who looked off topic in his essay:
"It's not about barbecue, it's about dim sum...... Is this stuff that can only be eaten in the first bite, really a snack? It's true that douwei is meant to make people feel delicious at the first bite, but if you don't want to eat the second bite after taking one bite, it's really called dim sum? Why do rock sugar gourds cover hawthorn instead of sweeter fruits, won't I need to teach you? β
"It's me who lost!" Xiong Shoushan was like a prisoner who had listened to the full set of reasoning on the set of Conan, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the Cihang Gang on the side wanted to say something, but they were afraid of the majesty of the fighting field, so they could only close their mouths, but the eyes that faintly stared at the venue next door were obviously unwilling.
β¦β¦
However, Chen Shanzang and the others did not intend to stay any longer, so they went to the parking lot to pick up the car and drove into the westbound lane again.
"Pretty proud, huh?"
While the vehicle was moving, Shun Lie suddenly said something for no reason, which made Chen Shanzang, who was still indulging in the joy of winning the fight, slam his head and looked at Shun Lie a little inexplicably.
Shun Lie looked at the clear eyes that had not experienced social beatings, and sighed:
"You can win this time, it's all because of Xiong Shoushan's own mistakes, and the more good things you have eaten, the more you can taste the type of steamed bun itself, which can win by luck, but if you think you can win like this in the future, then you are very wrong!"
"yes, I know." Chen Shanzang listened to Shun Lie's words, and also came back to his strength, and nodded yes again and again, but Shun Lie shook his head and said:
"You don't know!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and gave Sun Xingzhi a "you say" look, and then concentrated on driving the car.
Seeing this, Sun Xingzhi didn't talk nonsense, just took out a bulging small plastic bag from his pocket and handed it to Chen Shanzang.
This plastic bag is the kind of very common snack packaging bag, but it has obviously been torn open and resealed by some kind of high-heat internal force, which looks bulging at this time.
Chen Shanzang looked a little unsure of how to deal with it, Sun Xingzhi just showed a meaningful smile and said, "You tear it open and smell it." β
"Oh......" Although he felt that Sun Xingzhi's smile was really a bit infiltrating, he felt that Sun Xingzhi would not pit his Chen Shanzang or reached out to tear it.
Shun Lie didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, until the bag was torn open, and an indescribable strange smell suddenly filled the entire car.
"Blanch!"
Shun Lie immediately turned on the exhaust of the car air conditioner, and then glared angrily at Sun Xingzhi, who had already entered a state of breathlessness, Sun Xingzhi just smiled dryly and spread his hands, and with a flick of his hands, all the stench in the car gathered in a strong wind, turned into a black spot the size of a grape seed, and was ejected out of the car by Sun Xingzhi's fingers.
"Ahem, ahem......"
Chen Shanzang, who had been hanging out of breath, finally recovered at this time, and was about to open the car window to breathe fresh air, when he was confused by the stench that exploded outside the car, and almost fainted directly.
However, he was born in Shaolin Temple, and after holding back his breath and trying to breathe, he finally came to his senses and looked at Sun Xingzhi with resentful eyes.
Regarding his expression, Sun Xingzhi just spread his hands, while Shun Lie was a serious way:
"What do you think would happen if the smell exploded around you when you baked the steamed buns?"
"Huh?" Chen Shanzang didn't expect to hear such a question suddenly, hesitated slightly, and said honestly:
"Steamed buns can't be ...... Ah, this ......"
Chen Shanzang is not a fool, when it comes to this, he also realized the crux of the problem, Shun Lie didn't talk nonsense, and sent the video taken before to Chen Shanzang's mobile phone, and then explained:
"If it weren't for Sun Xingzhi's timely discovery and collection of most of the odors, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have the opportunity to serve out the food today."
"Don't the food associations care?" Chen Shanzang asked a very naΓ―ve question, and when Shun Lie saw this situation, he could only explain bitterly:
"Of course, you can also apply for arbitration or something, but as long as you can't prove that the player next door has a connection with the Cihang Gang, at most it will be characterized as an accident, and as an accident, the threat to both sides is equal, and the conclusion is that you haven't even done a good job of avoiding miscellaneous smells, and you don't even need arbitration to blow the black whistle, and your side has no chance of winning."
"It's like playing football, as long as you can't prove that the opponent deliberately picked a terrain game that you are not good at, then the terrain of both sides is the same, and no matter how you appeal, you can only be the interface of the losing dog.
"Not to mention that you are going to play abroad next, it is a luxury to expect the local food association to favor you, Sun Xingzhi and I can help you eliminate some common troubles at most, but after all, there will still be details that you need to be careful about."
Listening to Shun Lie's words, Chen Shanzang couldn't help lowering his head, and Shun Lie didn't disturb his thoughts, but instead turned his gaze to Sun Xingzhi.
"What do you want me to do?" Sun Xingzhi was a little awkward by Shun Lie, and couldn't help asking, Shun Lie tilted his head, and said in a rather surprised tone:
"Speaking of which, I was quite surprised by your treatment, you didn't directly throw the stink bomb on that stupid big man's face, this is not like the old grandson's style I have heard!"
"What you said, since it is Chen Shanzang who took over the field, then I will naturally not interfere, whether I win or lose is his battle, as for what I should do...... Hehe, when did you have the illusion that all the ones you just smelled were all the illusions? β
Sun Xingzhi said, a very treacherous smile appeared on his face, Shun Lie saw this, and laughed, Chen Shanzang, who was still depressed because he had seen the sinister world in the world, raised his head inexplicably, not knowing what the two were laughing at, but that night, he knew-
Food Journal (Chanyuan Branch): A major food poisoning incident occurred in Chanyuan County, Mr. Xiong Shoushan, a well-known local pastry chef, attended a banquet at the headquarters of Cihang Foundation, due to eating unknown ingredients by mistake, resulting in food poisoning for 34 people, the appearance is unbearable abdominal pain, and the poisoned person has a strong rancid smell around his body, the poisoned person has been sent to Luojiashan Medical Service Center for treatment, the poison agent can not be confirmed at present, if there are similar symptoms, please go to a medical institution immediately......
β¦β¦
"Shunyeol, where are we going next?"
The white business car was running on the highway, and when he heard that Chen Shanzang only remembered to ask this kind of question now, Shun Lie, who was accustomed to this natural character, sighed, stretched out his hand and clicked a few times on the on-board computer, and immediately a map of the Central Plains was slowly rolled out.
As a few lines of password were entered, the roads were marked in red and connected with each other, and Shun Lie also pointed to those lines and said:
"Although the westbound route is called a line, it is not just one, but a total of seven routes unified by the young Zhuang faction in the Central Plains food industry according to the resources at hand and the location of well-known domestic restaurants.
"Seed contestants like you, who have realized some fur from the Monkey King Sutra, will go through a round of rough selection, and the group with the spirit of challenge will choose one of these seven routes with the assistance of a collaborator selected by the association like me, and finally those who can successfully reach Weakwater City will be qualified to leave this small garden in the Central Plains and truly enter the new world of cooking.
"After going abroad, the plan is to go all the way to the southwest, but there are no specific route requirements, and even if you want to go east, there is no problem, in short, to challenge countries and improve yourself in the next few years.
"However, it should be noted that although there are no hard and fast requirements, there are still four countries that must be visited, which can be regarded as a phased outcome challenge."
"Which four?" Chen Shanzang was also interested when he heard this, and immediately asked.
Shun Lie stretched out his hand and swiped on the screen, and the map of the Central Plains immediately became a world map, and then, four dots also appeared on the map-
"According to the discussion within the association, as the entry threshold for participating in the World Championship, there are four landmarks -
"First of all, our own territory in the Central Plains, located in the suburbs of the weak water city of Wuzhuang Guan cultivation base, here is both the gourmand 'ancestor' title and the chef 'immortal' title of the big guy, one of the national treasures of the gourmet human Zhenyuan Daxian, he is very good at cultivating vegetables and fruits, known as the 'ancestor of the earth immortals', where the land is grown, there is no one he is not proficient in, if you can use the ingredients there to make a dish that satisfies the Zhenyuan Daxian, it means that you have entered the hall in the use of vegetables and fruits, this is' The Trial of Vegetables'.
"After that, there is the Yingzhou country of Dongsheng Shenzhou, as the former overseas three islands, although the food style here is not suitable for competition, but it has a considerable attainment in seafood, as long as it can be mixed there, there will be no shortcomings in the processing of seafood, which is called 'trial of the sea'.
"Then there's the Lion and Camel Country in Xiniu Hezhou, where wildlife is abundant, especially game, and any animal-based ingredients can be found there except cattle, which is also known as the 'trial of meat'.
"Finally, there is the White Flag Country of Beiju Luzhou, which is a wonderful flower born in the food wilderness of Beiju Luzhou, and the dishes here are especially good at matching, which can give stimulation from the five senses at the same time, if the first three places are for you to study the cooking methods of specific ingredients, then this is the place to teach you how to use these methods to please the judges, so it is called the 'Trial of Cooperation'. Don't think the word 'please' is too flattering, after all, not everyone has the strength of Monkey King, who can impress the judges with his indisputable deliciousness, and dishes with similar tastes, even if they are just better, are enough to be called the key to victory in the end. β
"In other words, as long as you get through these four trials, the quota for the national competition can basically be determined, right?" Sun Xingzhi looked at the map and nodded thoughtfully, but Shun Lie shook his head and said:
"Don't think it's too simple, the reason why this long-distance race lasts for ten years is not just because it will be the next Bodhi Conference in ten years, if you don't care about anything and go straight to the four major trials, there is no point in anything other than being crushed by overwhelming disadvantages!"
"Understood, the four trials are bosses, and if you want to fight the boss, you have to brush up on the monsters to accumulate experience on the way." Chen Shanzang nodded with an epiphany, and Shun Lie also gave him an approving look, but at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in his eyes, and before he could react, Sun Xingzhi jumped to the co-pilot first and stepped on the brakes for him.
The whole car drew a distance forward in the bumps before it could stop, and at this time, the distance from the man who was blocking the road was only two or three meters away!
"You're looking for death!" Shun Lie first confirmed the dash cam, and then poked his head out and shouted angrily.
When the man heard this, he was not surprised, and said to the people in the car:
"The masters of the food association want to be the masters of my Gao family! The Gao family, the Gao family, the son-in-law of the Gao family rebelled! β
