Chapter 179: Gotta Add Money
Gonggong Liu rudely pushed this plate of crispy bamboo shoots and fat intestines aside, and stretched his chopsticks to the second signature dish, stir-fried miscellaneous mushrooms.
The two referees couldn't keep up with his rhythm, and each of them hurriedly sandwiched another piece of crispy bamboo shoots and fat sausages, chewed them in their mouths, and followed them to the second dish.
Damn, gotta add money!
The second course is also pushed aside, and the third course is savored!
Damn, gotta add money!
Fourth ......
Damn, gotta add money, add money!
The fifth dish is a bowl of soup with beautiful colors and aromas, which is slightly churning with various precious ingredients cut into patterns.
The ultimate specialty dish, a perfect supplement!
Gonggong Liu breathed a sigh of relief. He has been in charge of the Imperial Dining Room for many years and is definitely a gourmet. In his cognition, soup is mainly functional, that is, tonic.
But when it comes to taste, it's definitely not as impactful as stir-frying. Therefore, this last finale may not be as threatening as the previous four dishes.
He glanced at the surface of the soup in confusion, and a few drops of oil were floating evenly on the bright brown soup, which was slowly spreading around.
But why is this oil red? The red is bright and red, like the yellow of a salted duck egg, no, no, it's even redder than that. It's like the sunset, no, no, it's redder than that. It's like a girl's red lips, a budding moon season!
At this time, the few drops of bright red and shiny oil are slowly spreading around, like a charming girl opening her red lips, like a budding flower slowly blooming, beautiful.
What is this? Gonggong Liu looked at the two accomplices suspiciously, it couldn't be poison, right? Crane top red? Heding Red is not like this!
The two accomplices are not sure, but they can be sure that Drunken Immortal Lou will never be stupid enough to poison the God of Food Competition, not to mention that the three referees have no grievances with them......
Well, maybe Gonggong Liu has a bit of a grudge against them, but it is impossible to take revenge in such a low-level way.
At this time, of course, Gonggong Liu could choose not to drink it, and asked what seasoning was used in Zuixianlou. But in that case, his face would be finished.
The dignified eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Prison didn't even know the seasoning of the entries, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move his mouth.
In this crowd of onlookers, there must be people from Jinyiwei, if Lu Bing tells Banzai about this, Banzai will definitely question my professional ability!
But Gonggong Liu is a noble person after all, he glanced at the referee on the left, the referee on the left understood, picked up the spoon, his face was impassioned, fierce, scooped a spoonful, with the bottom of the soup, and put it in his mouth.
The spoon fell on the table, but the referee closed his eyes unconsciously and savored the wonderful taste in his mouth. It was the first time he had tasted such a wonderful blend of two wonderful flavors.
What kind of taste is this, so fresh, but it does not hide the mellow flavor of the raw materials; Slightly spicy, but not the familiar spicy, but an inexplicable spicy taste.
The spiciness and umami are just right, and instead of masking the flavor of the ingredients themselves, they stimulate each other, and the deliciousness is like an explosion in the mouth.
Gonggong Liu was startled, thinking that he was really poisoned, and only after seeing the expression on his face clearly did he breathe a sigh of relief, and then glared at him fiercely.
As for such an exaggeration, I haven't seen anything in the world! If you do this, it will become more difficult for Lao Tzu to blow the black whistle for a while!
In fact, the referee can't be blamed for this, because the people who can finally become the referee of the Beijing God of Food Contest are all top gourmets.
What they have been striving for all their lives is the ultimate deliciousness, so their taste buds are extremely sensitive and they will react more strongly to the delicious taste they have never been exposed to.
If an ordinary person is exposed to MSG and chili oil for the first time, although shocking, it may not reach this level. But for gourmets, this extremely wonderful fresh experience, like a virgin entering a cave room, can't control the excitement at all, and it will gush out in an instant.
Liu Gonggong scolded his pig teammates while picking up the spoon with another referee and putting it in his mouth. Then both of them gushed out in an instant.
However, thanks to the pig teammates in front of him, Gonggong Liu already had a defensive heart, so he could barely control his gushing desire, and pretended to put down the spoon calmly.
"Well, it's not bad, huh...... Oh...... Not bad. ”
The servant next to him saw that the three judges had finished tasting the food, and came over to lift the tray according to the procedure, and was about to send it down. Gonggong Liu was anxious and pressed the tray.
The audience was stunned. What do you mean, don't let us eat? No, Gonggong Liu of Shangshan Supervisor, alas, has never eaten anything, as for being so stingy? What does this stuff have to taste good for?
Countless thoughts flashed through Liu's mind for a moment, including pretending to accidentally overturn the tray. But he failed to be "accidental" the first time, and it would be too fake to pretend to be "accidental" again.
It's hateful that the two pig teammates are still enjoying themselves, so they almost touch their faces and necks with their hands, and they can't help at all.
In the stunned eyes of the audience, Gonggong Liu smiled awkwardly, withdrew the hand holding the tray, and waved it weakly.
The tray walked through the crowd, and ordinary people really didn't lose their temper like the referee, but the screams and cheers came one after another, and even the people in Taibaiju were dejected and couldn't raise their spirits to refute.
Shi Zhenxiang can't leave the field as a player, and naturally he can't taste the dishes of Zuixianlou, but from the performance of the people off the field, especially his own people, he knows that the situation is extremely bad.
He gritted his teeth, pretended to yawn, and stretched out a hand at the decadent Father-in-law Liu! Give 5,000 taels at one time, Lao Tzu fights!
Gonggong Liu perked up a little, responded to Shi Zhenxiang, pretended to tickle, and raised a finger firmly!
Shi Zhenxiang was stupid. The catering industry is not like the construction industry, the construction industry is meat fat soup and fat, and a big project can easily cost tens of thousands of taels, or even tens of thousands of taels, so it is normal to pay thousands of taels of silver.
However, the catering industry is a small and industrious industry, and although the profit margin is good, the overall scale cannot be compared with the construction industry. Five thousand taels of silver is already the highest price of the God of Food Contest over the years, and ten thousand taels of silver is simply beyond imagination!
But Gonggong Liu looked at him sternly, and raised his chin at the crowd, signaling him to take a look at the situation himself. This is not the kind of situation that happens every year, others are just the slightest difference between you and you, I'll push you and just charge two or three thousand taels.
In today's situation, Lao Tzu is also desperate, how much do you want 10,000 taels of silver? Are you full of poop in your head, and have I asked you for an extra dime!
Under the strength of Gonggong Liu and the decline of the audience, Shi Zhenxiang compromised.
He knew that as long as he kept the God of Food, with the support of Gonggong Liu and Yan Shifan, it would not be difficult for him to earn back the money, not to mention that they also promised to make themselves officials in the future!
And if they lose, these backstage people will think that they are incompetent, and even if they continue to support themselves, will they do their best? I have already offended Xiao Feng ruthlessly, look at the fate of Tan Xinren, what good fruit can I eat?
And it is said that Xiao Feng is very interesting to Liu Ruyun, in order to win the favor of this girl, Xiao Feng will kill herself as a gift nine times out of ten! Why should men be embarrassed by men!
Shi Zhenxiang nodded heavily, turning one hand into a finger, trembling and swaying in the wind.
Gonggong Liu's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath, just like a peerless master who wants to walk to the top of Mount Huashan and face the challenges of the whole world.
Let your righteous indignation be filled, let your public opinion surge, although tens of millions of people will go to it! Lao Tzu is the referee, the whistle is in my mouth, what I say is official certification, what can you do with me?
The crowd in the audience has reached a climax at this time, and there are not many dishes, everyone wants to taste it, but when they finish it, the people behind them will stop doing it, and some even scold and scuffle.
Shuntianfu caught quickly, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the secret sentry of the Jinyi guard, and desperately suppressed the rack, exhausted, and it was still difficult to calm down.
At this moment, Zhang Tianci took out the note that Xiao Feng had written for him from his waist, and with the assistance of his companions, climbed to a high ground.
"Neighbors! Ladies and gentlemen! Don't mess around, everyone! I'm the owner of Drunken Immortal Building, please listen to me! ”
Zhang Tianci, with the assistance of the earthen horn, attracted the attention of most of the people, and at this time, the other teammates holding the earthen horn also shouted together.
"Listen to Boss Zhang, listen to Boss Zhang!"
People gradually stopped the confusion and turned their heads to look at Zhang Tianci, who was standing on a high place, holding a horn.
"These dishes in today's competition are all the signature dishes of my Zuixian Building! It doesn't matter if you didn't eat it today!
The drunken fairy building is being renovated internally, and the renovation will be completed three days later, and the drunken fairy building will open its door, and everyone is welcome to come and taste! Three days before opening, drinks are free! ”
Liu Ruyun and Chen Zhonghou glanced at each other, both a little surprised. It stands to reason that the Lantern Festival is the best time of the year for business, and the home is not being renovated, why does Zhang Tianci close his doors?
However, they knew in their hearts that Zhang Tianci would never make his own decisions, this must be Xiao Feng's idea, so neither of them had any more doubts. Xiao Feng can't be wrong, they gradually entered the happy no-thinking mode like Zhang Tianci.
When I heard that it would not open that night, there was a lot of grumbling in the crowd. But when I heard that the drinks were free for three days before the opening, I couldn't help but be happy. The tired and panting Catcher and the soldiers all looked at Zhang Tianci sadly: Why don't you let it go early?
Seeing that the audience was lively, there were twists and turns, just like all the people had already tacitly agreed that Drunken Immortal Building was the first and Liu Ruyun was the god of food. Seeing that if you continue to indulge in emotions like this, you will take more and more risks!
Gonggong Liu jumped up, waved his hand, and signaled that he was going to speak as the referee!
The people of Taibaiju cheered up again, knowing that the last Wang Bang was coming out, and shouted desperately to calm everyone down and listen to the referee announce the result.
It's just that it's easy for the crowd to be lively, and to be quiet, there must be a process. Gonggong Liu smiled and looked at the gradually quiet crowd below, and his heart was very sad, yes, although tens of millions of people are gone!
Lao Tzu just wants to rape public opinion, that is, to declare Shi Zhenxiang is the god of food, you farts people, if you have the ability, bite me? Do you think I'm afraid?
It was his personal little eunuch who walked up, handed him something, and whispered a few words to him.
"This is what Huang Gonggong sent to you, saying that he has had a good relationship with you over the years, and he can't bear to watch you jump into the pit."
Father-in-law Liu took it and looked at it, still cheering himself up in his mouth.
"Huang Jinren is good, if it is usual, our family will definitely give him a face, but not today, even if he is guilty, it can't be said......"
The crowd had completely calmed down, and they looked at the referees on the high platform, the two referees had already agreed on the third to tenth places, and they were waiting for Liu Gonggong to announce the first and second places.
Gonggong Liu stood on the stage, his eyes were a little swaying by the noon sun, and his body shook slightly, but he still raised his voice and announced firmly.
"This official announced that in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, the Beijing God of Food Competition, this year's God of Food is - Liu Ruyun!"
