Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

In the judging panel, as time passed little by little, Wu Henian's expression became slightly strange.

This time... both dishes seemed to take a long time.

He is also a chef himself and the owner of Tianxing Zhai, so he knows very well that cooking vegetables does not take that long under normal circumstances because vegetables are less difficult to cook than meat dishes.

Taking such a long time to cook a vegetable can only show one thing, that is, the process of this dish is beyond imagination.

Wu Henian couldn't help but feel a little curious.

The cold food dish should be the Shili Ginkgo dish, so which dish did Ming Tingque bring out?

He was familiar with all kinds of dishes at Ming Ting Que, but none of them seemed to meet his requirements.

From the looks of it, is this Chef Jin’s new dish?

Just as he was thinking about it, the green light of Mingting Palace lit up in an instant.

Wu Henian was shocked.

No, Ming Ting Que finished it first. Will they be given the advantage now?

However, as soon as he had this idea, the light belonging to Hanshi on the other side also lit up.

Do both sides finish the dish at the same time?

In an environment that is absolutely isolated from outside interference, it is impossible for any party to know the situation of the other party.

Therefore, such coincidences have not never happened in previous meal competitions, but they are rare.

Theoretically, in order to be fair in this case, the judges need to taste the taste of two dishes at the same time, and a direct taste comparison without the aftertaste process will become more real and fair.

This comparison result is the clearest.

Didn't expect this to be the result in the end?

Wu Henian's face looked more expectant.

That being the case, let me see what that poetic gift of ginkgo looks like...wait, what is that?

His brows furrowed again.

What the catering association staff brought out from Hanshi's kitchen were clearly dishes that looked like vegetable soup.

He couldn't see clearly because of the distance, but it was completely different from the image of Shili Ginkgo.

Qi Han didn't use poetry to pay homage to ginkgo?

Wu Henian stayed where he was and immediately sighed.

This guy underestimated his enemy...

He probably didn't know Chef Jin's identity, so he thought he could win easily in the second round, and there would be no problem in the third round.

But in fact, among the three chefs at Mingtingque, the most powerful one is the last chef Jin.

At this moment, my already relaxed heart suddenly became anxious again.

…

After walking out of the kitchen, Qi Han quickly noticed that the chef at Ming Ting Que walked out at almost the same time as him.

After a brief moment of astonishment, he quickly reacted.

Did two people happen to finish it at the same time?

Anyway, let's just take a look at what kind of dishes he cooks.

"Would you like to try my third dish?" Qi Han smiled politely and spoke to the other people in Ming Ting Que who came up from the stands to join Chef Jin.

"Thank you very much." Zhao Yangfan had already seen Chef Jin's confident look. He was calm and his mood instantly improved. Hearing this, he spoke with a smile, and the three chefs standing behind him also nodded.

, expressing that he wanted to try it.

After receiving the Wensi Tofu, Chef Jin immediately cast a questioning look at Chef Song who was standing aside. Chef Song's expression was a little dazed. He looked down at the Wensi Tofu in his hand and shook his head inconspicuously.

This is not Shili Ginkgo.

no?

Chef Jin raised his eyebrows and seemed to understand something immediately.

Did Qi Han underestimate the enemy?

Could it be that the overwhelming victory in the previous game made him relax his vigilance?

It's not impossible. After all, he is a young man, and I heard that Hanshi is a newly opened restaurant. Maybe the other party doesn't recognize me...

Oh, I have been nervous for so long.

Chef Jin smiled inwardly, then picked up a spoon and casually scooped up a spoonful of Wensi tofu and put it into his mouth.

This soup looks pretty good, but I don’t know how it tastes...huh?

Um?!

Chef Jin's eyes widened suddenly.

After taking one bite, he scooped up the second spoonful without hesitation and put it into his mouth, his face full of incredible astonishment.

This is... tofu?

Those white strands that melted away in one sip and were as slender as hair. Are you telling me this is tofu?!

The strong and rich flavor of the chicken soup and the mellow bean flavor filled his mouth almost instantly. The delicious taste that almost made his soul tremble made Chef Jin's hands tremble slightly.

Lost.

After just two bites, Chef Jin had the answer in his mind.

Not only lost, but crushed.

It was the kind of crushing game with a huge gap that could not be affected by any off-field factors.

Under normal circumstances, the delicious taste of meat dishes is more intense, which will naturally cover up the fresh taste of vegetables themselves. Adding meat to the cooking of vegetables can certainly greatly enhance the deliciousness of the dishes, but this taste is

The umami flavor of the meat, not the flavor of the vegetables themselves.

In this case, why not just eat meat?

The cooking of vegetables should return to their original form, and use cooking techniques to bring out the fresh flavor of the vegetables themselves, creating a taste that makes people forget to leave.

This is the cooking philosophy that Chef Jin always adheres to.

But in Qi Han's Wensi Tofu, although the deliciousness of the chicken soup is there, the mellow bean flavor can perfectly blend with the delicious taste of the meat dishes, and even cover up the luster of the meat dishes.

This is a direction and idea that he has never imagined.

Several other people in Mingting Palace gradually turned ugly after tasting Hanshi's Wensi Tofu.

The contrast is too obvious, this is not a dish that Biyulu can surpass.

This time Ming Ting Que lost, and it was a disastrous defeat.

Chef Song's face was gloomy, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Qi Han didn't use Shi Li Ginkgo, so he shouldn't have to bear the responsibility for not reporting the status of Shi Li Ginkgo in time after he inquired about Han Shi... right?

Zhao Yangfan, who was in front of Chef Song, turned extremely pale at this moment.

He couldn't accept such a result. Ming Ting Que, which he worked so hard to manage, was going to become Han Shi's wedding dress?

Recommending cold food at home for a week was enough to make Ming Ting Que a laughing stock and his reputation plummeted.

Thinking of ways to take revenge on Han Shi afterwards?

No, Zhao Yangfan never thought about taking revenge on Han Shi, because he clearly remembered that it was His Majesty's intention to ask him to find Han Shi for a meal competition.

So... His Majesty knew from the beginning that Han Shi's strength was far superior to that of Ming Ting Que, right?

He just wants Mingtingque to lose to Hanshi?

The will to revitalize Minke Street suddenly flashed through his mind, and Zhao Yangfan's eyes widened suddenly.

Got it, I got it all!

Your Majesty... just to attract more people to Mink Street, just for such a small purpose, just like this, the reputation accumulated by the efforts of several generations of Ming Ting Que was crushed into dust.

My Zhao family has served the royal family for several generations. Most of the income from Ming Tingque went into the pockets of the royal family, but in the end we ended up like this?

Suddenly, resentment towards the royal family emerged in Zhao Yangfan's heart.

He didn't hate Han Shi for winning Ming Ting Que openly and honestly, he only hated the emperor who made him hit the gunpoint with his decree yesterday.

Zhao Yangfan's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched, and a bloody mark appeared on his palms.

…

"What's the name of this dish?" After a long silence, Chef Jin suddenly spoke up.

"This." Qi Han's face turned strange. After pondering for two seconds, he said, "A low-end version of Wensi Tofu?"
