Chapter 126: The World's Best
The marshal, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Feng Xuanzhang all frowned slightly, they all saw the process of the chef's skill demonstration just now, and they also didn't think that Hongyuan City had the possibility of winning.
Even, the marshal still complained a little about Dingbeihou in his heart, why didn't he send Jiang Xingchen up, he could deal with demon beasts, and his cooking skills would definitely overwhelm everyone. But now...... The failure of the chef's demonstration of skills is definitely a blow to this food festival and to the name of the city of food.
The same is true of a dozen or so great lords, and food is secondary, but they have always been thinking about this thing. If you have the intention to cheat and say the opposite, and support the chef in Hongyuan City, you have to rely on some recipes, a broth pickled in high vegetables, they can't even evaluate it against their will.
The only ones who are happy are Yuan Xixuan and Yuan Hao. Since they arrived in Hongyuan City and saw the amazing growth of wheat seedlings, they have been depressed, and now they finally have the opportunity to vent their anger. Although the win or loss of a cooking show does not allow them to recover the overall loss, it is good to blow Dingbei Hou and Jiang Xingchen and relieve their anger...... Boiled cabbage, I don't hear the name much!
The three foodie judges also seemed careless, they originally thought that they would be able to eat the new dishes launched by the two restaurants, but they didn't expect it to be a broth-soaked dish.
It can be said that everyone is not optimistic about this boiled dish. Even the old man who trusted Jiang Xingchen very much, Mo Hongxian and Zhao Danqing, were so nervous that they clenched their fists.
However, when more than twenty small bowls were served on the table and the lid was lifted, everyone's feelings took a huge turn, so sudden and unexpected.
"It's not broth!" all the judges were stunned. In their sight, the soup was pale yellow and clear like water, which was not at all what they imagined. The white and tender cabbage is spread at the bottom of the bowl to match the color of the soup. When you look at it, you have a pleasant and light feeling.
Pick up the bowl and inhale gently, the meat is fragrant, and only one word pops up in everyone's minds: "Xian!"
As soon as the three foodies changed their appearance just now, their eyes were already bright, and when they saw the soup that was as clear as water and the fresh fragrance they smelled, they knew that they had thought wrong before, and this dish was definitely not simple.
The marshal and the others breathed a sigh of relief, although they had not yet tasted it. But looking at the appearance and fragrant smell, it can be judged that this dish is definitely not inferior to the stewed pork ribs made by Tian Sanqi.
"Suck!" The three foodies couldn't help it anymore, and took a sip of soup first, and their eyes suddenly opened round. Then he immediately narrowed his eyes again, and he had a look of great enjoyment.
More than a dozen big lords also moved their chopsticks one after another. Pick up the cabbage at the bottom of the bowl. Put it in your mouth.
"Hmm~ delicious!" more than a dozen lords admired at the same time in their hearts, and the lightness of the high dish contained a fresh and fragrant taste. They could be sure that any delicacy they had eaten before would not be able to catch up with this boiled dish, not even the demon beasts.
Almost instantly, more than a dozen judges flew chopsticks. After a few days, there are only chopsticks touching the bowl, chewing high vegetables, and the sound of sucking.
"Nima, ah......" Yuan Xixuan and Yuan Hao were shocked by such a reversal, and tears came out of the corners of their eyes: "Make a good dish to make such a delicacy." Is there still a place to reason?"
But immediately after, the two of them bowed their heads violently and vented all their grievances on the boiled vegetables in front of them.
The people in the audience watched the judges fighting with the small bowl in their hands, and they were all surprised: "Is it so exaggerated, is it so delicious to make a meat soup and pickled vegetables, these are a group of people at the top of the empire...... It's only those three foodies who would be like that!"
The chefs who had already completed the presentation on the stage were also stunned: "Is it true......?
"Even if you win Hongyuan City, you don't need to do this, don't you announce it in a while, don't you need to perform so hard?"
"Cheating, there must be a problem!" The chefs made such a judgment in an instant, they never believed that the boiled dish would be so delicious, and they all turned their heads to look at Tian Sanqi and Huo Yun, after all, they were top chefs, and only they were the most suitable.
Tian Sanqi and Huo Yun also felt unbelievable, a boiled dish made the judges lose their taste, and it was really unbelievable that they threw off their cheeks and started eating.
The two looked at each other, nodded, raised their legs and went to the judges' seat, it didn't matter if they won or lost, they just needed to confirm the taste of the boiled cabbage.
As soon as they took two steps, the chefs of the two major restaurants in Hongyuan City greeted them, still holding small bowls in their hands.
"Chef Tian, Chef Huo, we specially brought boiled vegetables for you two to taste!" said Fu Rong Zhai and the chef of Cui Yuan Lou, and handed the bowl over with both hands.
After Tian Sanqi and the two took it, they saw the clear soup at a glance, and their expressions suddenly became solemn. That's when they realized that they had been wrong.
Subsequently, the two of them were also stunned when they heard it first. They are professionals, and the soup tastes out of the mouth, not just one taste, but a variety of mixtures, including pheasants, pork, ...... The others are also indistinguishable, and they are completely fused together to form a unique fragrance.
"It's all about the soup! How did they do it, and they actually blended the flavors into it...... What's even more incredible is that this soup is as clear as water......"
While Tian Sanqi and Huo Yun were dumbfounded, other chefs also gathered around and asked how it tasted.
However, Tian Sanqi and the others did not answer them, but made the same move as the judges on the stage, bowing their heads and fighting with the bowls, seeing the corners of all the chefs' mouths twitch. At this time, there is no need for Tian Sanqi to say, they all know the answer.
While being a little frustrated, the chefs also looked up at the chefs of Fu Rong Zhai and Cui Yuan Lou, and secretly said in their hearts: "A simple high dish can make such a delicious ...... What kind of secret ingredient is it......"
On the edge of the high platform, the old man was completely relieved, and he knew the result by looking at the judges' appearances.
As soon as the worry was gone, the old man's mind immediately shifted to eating, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Xingchen, his eyes slowly brightened. He can now imagine how delicious that boiled dish is, how can he not worry about it.
Zhao Danqing was even more so, looking at Jiang Xingchen, he pursed his lips and smiled, that look...... Jiang Xingchen caught a glimpse of it, and couldn't help but shudder, extremely unhealthy words popped up in his mind, and he hurriedly moved and hid far away.
"Smack!" the judges on the high platform put down their bowls and asked the same sentence in unison: "Is there anything else?"
"Poof!" The people watching from the audience shook their bodies and shouted in their hearts: "Is this Nima a judge?"
Subsequently, the judges obviously realized that they had said the wrong thing, and apologized to the audience in embarrassment, and then gave an evaluation of this boiled cabbage: the soup is as clear as water, the fresh fragrance is incomparable, and the high dish is light, but the fresh fragrance is perfectly integrated. The ability to make a simple dish so delicious is one of the best in the world.
With such an evaluation, even Yuan Xixuan had nothing to say, he and Yuan Hao ate faster than those three foodies just now.
"Boom~" The audience was in chaos in an instant! The world's best, this evaluation is too high.
"It's so delicious! The judges wouldn't deliberately exaggerate and favor Hongyuan City, right?"
"Which time has Hongyuan City launched a new dish that has been disappointing, this dish is absolutely delicious......"
"Hurry up and make a reservation in a while, the two major restaurants will definitely have no seats again......"
On the edge of the high platform, the old man walked to the edge of Jiang Xingchen and asked with a puzzled face: "You got that soup, is it really so good?"
"Go back and the old man will know if you taste it!" Jiang Xingchen responded, and said secretly in his heart: "How do you know that the hanging soup is in our ancient times, but it is similar to the effect of monosodium glutamate, and the evaluation of a world-class masterpiece is not exaggerated at all!"
When all kinds of discussions were chaotic, Tian Sanqi and Huo Yun walked to the front of the stage and personally confirmed the judges' evaluation, it was not an exaggeration, that soup was really breathtaking!
At this point, everyone knows the results of the cooking show, and the two major restaurants in Hongyuan City have overwhelmed all the chefs with a boiled dish. And the whole food festival has reached a high ~ tide now, and people did not hesitate to give applause to the chefs of the two major restaurants, which made both of them a little embarrassed, and the soup was hung by Jiang Xingchen.
The men re-entered the venue at this point and put away the plates that had been eaten very cleanly on the table. Afterwards, each of them was given a glass of water.
This time, there are no people left behind, and they have them too.
At first, people didn't care, thinking it was just an ordinary glass of water.
But as soon as they drank it, they immediately let out a sigh of surprise, the water was actually sweet, and there was a faint floral fragrance in it.
"How can this water be sweet?"
"Could it be that this is also one of the new delicacies in Hongyuan City?"
"It can't be called food, it should be called drink......"
"Don't talk about it yet, there is movement on the stage, it is estimated that it is a new form of performance!"
On the high platform, a simple wooden table was placed in the middle, with a black tablecloth on top, and two men in strange robes were already standing behind the table.
"What kind of performance is this, the instrument!"
"yes! It's so easy to set up, and it's weird to wear!"
"Somehow, I always look at the fat man on the left and it's funny......"
The audience whispered, and the old man on the stage was also asking Jiang Xingchen: "Boy, this is the new form of performance you said, it doesn't look like singing and dancing!"
"Hehe, it's not singing and dancing in the first place! This is called cross talk, and it's mainly talking!" Jiang Xingchen replied.
"Talking?" the old man straightened his eyes and said puzzledly: "Two people talking, what's the point of this?"
"Just watch it, you'll know in a while!" Jiang Xingchen really had no way to explain the meaning of cross talk to the old man in detail, so he could only let him watch it himself.
And just when the old man was dissatisfied with Jiang Xingchen's answer and was still about to ask, the audience suddenly roared and burst into laughter. (To be continued......)
