"The latest news is that after Zheng Yun voluntarily admitted defeat, the famous food show host Bai Qiusong questioned it, believing that there was something fishy going on, and proposed a rematch. This time, the three six-star chefs in Manhan Building, Qin Yiyue, Tian Xiaodu, and Dong Qian, also joined the cooking camp. The five of them will each prepare a Manhan Banquet of braised pork under the supervision of a food detective. In the end, Mr. Han will select the most delicious dish from the five dishes without knowing who made it. In order to be fair, diners who have tasted the cooking skills of Qin Yiyue and the other three six-star chefs will also taste a few dishes to prove that Qin Yiyue and the others did not let the opponent win. In this way, we will try to make this competition fair and just."
On the China Forum on the Tip of the Tongue, the post following the live broadcast updated the latest developments again. This time, the comments below went viral again. No one expected that this competition would have so many twists and turns. First, Zheng Yun admitted defeat, then Bai Qiusong came forward to question, and then the three six-star chefs from Manhanlou also joined in. The competition continued, but the format of the competition had also changed. This meant that Ye Chu's opponent was not only Bai Qiusong, but also the three six-star chefs in his restaurant.
With food detectives doing surveillance, the competition can be guaranteed to be as fair and just as possible.
In this era, the credibility of the food detective is still very high.
This cooking challenge, which has already attracted much attention, has now become even more intense and mysterious, attracting even more attention.
Similarly, many people who originally had doubts about Ye Chui also began to look forward to him because of this situation.
In a car outside the Manhan Building, He Chengqing sat in the driver's seat with a laptop on the steering wheel. The web pages she opened were showing real-time reports on the cooking competition. Due to her identity, she did not go directly into the Manhan Building but followed the competition in this way.
The phone on the side was on and in the process of making a call. At this time, Bai Qiusong's somewhat nervous voice came out of it: "Ms. He, this... this matter has become a big deal. The food police have also got involved, and... and what I just said also conflicted with Mr. Han, this..."
"What are you afraid of? As long as Ye Chui loses today's game, it will be confirmed that Mr. Han is behind this. Your fame may even increase significantly, which is a good thing." He Chengqing said coldly. It was she who instructed Bai Qiusong to return to the competition site in order to cause trouble at the right time. Zheng Yun's direct surrender was a little beyond her expectations, but she was also very satisfied with the current situation.
From the beginning, she didn't think Ye Chui's cooking skills were that good - she thought so because she was more or less influenced by Jim.
"But...but why do I feel like something is wrong? Ye Chui doesn't seem nervous at all..." Bai Qiusong continued worriedly.
He Chengqing no longer had the patience to continue talking to Bai Qiusong: "Stop talking nonsense to me. Don't forget that the video is still in my hands. If the video is exposed, your life will be over. Do as I say. Do you hear me?"
The reason why Bai Qiusong followed He Chengqing's arrangement was because He Chengqing had something on him - as a public figure, Bai Qiusong himself was not as elegant and gentlemanly as he appeared to be, and he would even hang out in nightclubs occasionally. But not long ago, he got a little drunk in a nightclub and had sex with a beautiful girl. Afterwards, he found out that the girl was actually instructed by He Chengqing and was even filmed. So for the sake of his reputation, he had to follow He Chengqing's arrangement and find fault with Ye Chui.
"Yes... I understand..." Bai Qiusong's subdued voice came from the phone.
He Chengqing snorted coldly and continued to stare at the computer screen.
In the lobby of the Manhan Building.
Mr. Han's face was still a little flushed due to anger. He sat at a dining table in the hall with an indescribably cold expression. Some reporters wanted to approach him and ask him some questions, but Mr. Han glared at them and pushed them away angrily.
Han Yuyan stood beside Mr. Han, gently massaging his shoulders, but his eyes were looking towards the kitchen with some worry.
The hall was filled with commotion and low voices.
Five regular customers of Manhan Building also volunteered to come forward at this time. They were all people who were very interested in food. They had eaten the braised pork made by Qin Yiyue and other chefs many times. They would also serve as judges to taste the dishes made by the five people. Since the reporters had no one to interview, they focused their attention on these five people.
The five people were quite tactful and answered some questions with a smile.
Those who can often dine at Manhan Building are naturally not ordinary people. Among them is even a company boss. Although they are not gourmets, they are also experienced eaters who have eaten a lot of delicious food and have a certain appreciation of food.
There were also reporters who wanted to interview Bai Qiusong, but at that moment Bai Qiusong was in no mood to be interviewed. He sat alone in a corner, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passed quickly in such a situation. About an hour later, the waiters of Manhanlou came out of the kitchen carrying plates of bright red braised meat and placed them one by one on the dining table next to Mr. Han. Then the five chefs, Ye Chui, Zheng Yun, Qin Yiyue, Tian Xiaodu and Dong Qian, also came out of the kitchen.
At first glance, the five plates of braised pork all looked exactly the same. The red pieces of meat were crystal clear, with a layer of charming sheen, and were placed in a bowl shape on the plates, with a few sprigs of coriander dotted on the side, making one's appetite increase.
Even those who were not originally interested in meat delicacies now showed great interest in these dishes.
Surprisingly, there is absolutely no difference in the appearance of each dish. After all, the people who cook them are all extremely skilled chefs, and each of them has reached a very high level of cooking skills. Plating is also one aspect of cooking, so it is not surprising that the dishes they make are exactly the same.
Old Han glanced at the five dishes on the table, snorted, and looked at the five diners who had just been selected as judges: "You guys taste it first, so that no one will say I'm letting you down later!"
Mr. Han's bad temper has not calmed down yet...
Since Mr. Han had spoken, the five diners had no choice but to stand up first. They had already been unable to wait any longer. The braised pork in red sauce was a delicacy at the level of a "dish" in the Manchu-Han banquet, but it was tender and smooth, and its taste was outstanding, which was even more wonderful. They were already a little impatient.
So, under the watchful eyes of numerous reporters and onlookers, five diners selected on the spot tasted the five dishes one by one.
At this time, the five people all had some pride on their faces. After eating delicious food for so long, today they finally had the chance to be gourmets. They loved food deeply and believed that they were no different from those professional gourmets. They also wanted to show off their tasting skills.
However, as they tasted the dishes one by one, they all fell silent...
These five dishes were all, without exception, exquisitely delicious, refreshing, smooth, fatty but not greasy. Perhaps it was because of the current situation, but they actually felt that they were more delicious than before.
But the key point is... they all taste the same, how can you tell which one is better
"Which of these dishes is more delicious?" After seeing the five people finish tasting, a reporter immediately asked impatiently.
The five people looked at each other, and then laughed bitterly at the same time. Just now they felt that they were no different from professional gourmets, but now they suffered a huge blow: they couldn't tell the good from the bad, they just thought that the five dishes were equally delicious.
“This dish seems to be more delicious than the one I had at Manhanlou before, but I can’t tell which one is better,” the company boss said first.
Then the second one said helplessly: "I can't taste it either, but I can taste that none of the chefs added water. These dishes are delicious."
“I didn’t taste which one was more delicious.”
“I think all these dishes are equally delicious.”
"Alas, I feel the same way. These dishes all taste exactly the same and are equally delicious. How can I tell which is better? Let Elder Han try them."
These five people were selected from the scene by everyone. What they said could naturally prove that these five dishes were indeed not cooked with water - at least not obviously. Everyone was surprised and at the same time, they all looked at Mr. Han, waiting for him to taste them. At this time, many people did not dare to breathe a breath.
Old Han turned around at the table, took the bamboo chopsticks from Han Yuyan, and prepared to taste the food on the table.
He first picked up the dish closest to him, added a piece of meat and put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"This braised pork is refreshing, soft and smooth, with an excellent texture. The essence of braised pork is mastered very accurately. However, the seasoning is a little inferior. The aroma of the aniseed is too strong, which destroys the original aroma of the braised pork..." After a moment, Old Han said leisurely, "The chef who made this dish has been honing it for a long time, and there are only a few flaws. If I'm not mistaken, it is your work, Tian Xiaodu."
Everyone was shocked. Old Han actually figured out who made the dish after just one bite.
In other people's mouths, the dish is exactly the same!
Tian Xiaodu smiled and said, "Mr. Han, you guessed it right. I did it."
"You've followed Ye Chui for so long, and yet the things you produce still have flaws. How dare you laugh?" Old Han glared at Tian Xiaodu unhappily.
Tian Xiaodu immediately stopped smiling, and looked as if he felt a little aggrieved for a moment.
Mr. Han then went on to taste the next dish: "The flavor is delicate and the ingredients are precise, but the meat quality is a little lacking. Judging from the cooking method, this dish should be made by Dong Qian, right?"
Dong Qian nodded quickly: "Mr. Han, you guessed right."
Old Han picked up another dish and tasted it carefully. He suddenly showed a look of enjoyment on his face: "Every aspect of this dish is perfect and perfect. It's delicious..." After saying this, Old Han looked at Ye Chui and then at Zheng Yun. "I have only tasted Ye Chui's dishes before. I have never tasted your braised pork in red sauce, Zheng Yun. So this perfect braised pork in red sauce is either Ye Chui's or Zheng Yun's." (~^~)
