The votes of Gordon Ramsay and Robert carried great weight. At least after they voted, they immediately attracted the foreign judges who were originally scared away by the dishes made with pig intestines, pig tongues and pig trotters in the whole pig banquet.
The Chinatown chef gourmets on Huang Yiyuan's side managed to win over many of the judges, but the judges who were won over were definitely not powerful figures. Most of the nearly 30 votes now were cast by these won-over judges, and only a few were cast by other judges who were attracted by the votes and then voted after tasting the food.
But the publicity effect of Gordon Ramsay and Rupert's vote was greater.
Knowing who these two people were, the judges who were originally intimidated by the whole pig banquet immediately became nervous. Gourmets deal with food, and in order to taste delicious ingredients, they must immediately overcome any psychological barriers. And Ye Chui's whole pig banquet actually only consists of dishes made with ingredients such as pig intestines, pig trotters, etc. Most of the dishes are still very authentic and full of temptation. If you dare not taste the red oil tongue made from pig hearts in pig sheds, you can try the delicious and fragrant Dongpo pork elbow first.
Up to now, in addition to these foreign gourmets, gourmets from China and ordinary people who have been lucky enough to be selected have also gradually gathered here.
Others entered the banquet venue from other directions. This was also to allow people to taste the food from all the restaurants participating in the Spring Banquet. However, Manhan Luojingjialou and Shenghuayuan were the highlights, and most people would eventually gather here.
Many of these people were originally curious about what the whole pig banquet was like, but had no intention of tasting it themselves at first. But now, with Gordon Ramsay and Robert taking the lead, many of these people who originally did not dare to taste it could not help but look forward to it.
"Maybe these dishes are more delicious than you think, pig intestines, pig sheds, pig trotters... If you think about it, these things are actually not that scary, they are not poisonous."
"Not to mention the dishes made with pig trotters, pig sheds and pig intestines, there are many other dishes that look mouth-watering, such as this Dongpo pork, and this sweet and sour pork tenderloin... Just smelling it makes you feel it's extraordinary."
Suddenly, the largest crowd gathered around the whole pig banquet.
Ye Chui's whole pig banquet may make many people hesitate at first because of the ingredients, but his dishes have that kind of charm. As long as you really try them, you will be convinced by the deliciousness.
Because of this, on the display board, after Man Han Lou received two votes, the number of votes increased immediately after a short pause...
"It seems that the two votes that Manhanlou got were just a coincidence..." Gao Yuesheng was feeling proud, but he was stunned to see that the name of Manhanlou on the display board suddenly moved up two places. It turned out that Manhanlou had gained two more votes in an instant, surpassing the fifth and sixth place, and became the fifth on the list. Gao Yuesheng was shocked, "What's going on?"
The people on Ye Chui's side were very excited.
"It seems that Gordon Ramsay's vote has brought an advertising effect, and other people have begun to try our dishes." Ye Cui chuckled and said. This was completely beyond his expectations. He had just learned about Gordon Ramsay's name from Tian Xiaodu. Before, Ye Cui paid attention to the food industry, but only to China. He had only heard of the name of this world chef and his famous temper, but didn't know much about other things.
But there is no doubt about this man's fame. The fat man who cast the second vote should not be an ordinary person either. He actually opened up the situation by accident.
If you taste his dishes, you will definitely be impressed by them. Ye Chui has this confidence.
"In the past, the voting session of the Spring Banquet almost always started half an hour later." Qin Yiyue said in a deep voice, glancing at Gao Yuesheng and Jim, "But this year's Spring Banquet is a bit unusual. People started voting just five minutes after it started. There is obviously something fishy about it, but fishy is fishy after all, and now it has returned to normal."
Qin Yiyue's words were obviously accusing Shenghuayuan of cheating and bribing the judges.
"Master Qin, you are framing our Shenghua Garden!" Gao Yuesheng said with a red face. "We at Shenghua Garden definitely did not bribe any of the judges. Moreover, in order to prevent any restaurant from bribing the judges, the Gourmet Association kept the list of judges confidential before the Spring Banquet began!"
"It is indeed confidential, but that is for the Chinese judges. It may not be so easy for foreign judges to keep it secret, right?" Tian Xiaodu said, "After the Spring Banquet began, the first judges to contact Manhan Building, Shenghua Garden, and Jingjia Building were these foreign judges. The first votes Shenghua Garden received should have been cast by foreign judges, right?"
Gao Yuesheng originally followed the path of a Confucian businessman, but now he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He wanted to rush up and fight with Tian Xiaodu: "I, Gao Yuesheng, am not such a mean person. I swear I definitely did not use such despicable means."
What he said was indeed sincere and heartfelt.
Ye Chui smiled softly, and suddenly looked at Jim beside Gao Yuesheng: "Boss Gao may not have used such despicable means, but this does not mean that Shenghuayuan has no use."
"What do you mean..." Gao Yuesheng shouted, and then he suddenly understood something and turned to look at Jim, "You... what did you do?"
Shenghuayuan was far ahead in the votes five minutes before the start. Although Gao Yuesheng was happy, he was not a fool and he had already realized that something was wrong.
Jim didn't say anything, but just looked at Ye Chui with hatred in his eyes.
Ye Chui knew that he had to make things clear now, so he sneered and continued to say to Jim: "You are not representing Shenghuayuan in the Spring Banquet, but the entire Chinatown. As long as you can win the championship in the Spring Banquet, it can be said that Chinatown's dishes are superior to Chinese cuisine, and then the International Gourmet Association can determine that Chinatown's cuisine can be independent. Chinese cuisine, becoming the eleventh largest cuisine in the world. All your goals have been like this from the beginning. As for Boss Gao..." Ye Chui turned his head full of mockery and looked at Gao Yuesheng, "Boss Gao, you and your Shenghuayuan have lost from the beginning, and lost completely. Oh, by the way, Boss Gao, I have already explained to Xing Sen that Jim will represent Chinatown in the competition. You know Xing Sen, he is my friend, the food detective. After accepting the Spring Banquet, no matter whether Shenghuayuan wins or loses, you will be arrested for colluding with Chinatown to damage the reputation of Chinese cuisine, and Shenghuayuan should also be closed down - from the moment the Spring Banquet began, this is an irreversible fact."
Ye Chui's words made Gao Yuesheng stunned. His face was covered with sweat. He felt an extremely cold breath, as if a terrifying shadow was looming over him.
As for Jim... he was also completely shocked.
It turned out that Ye Chui had known his purpose for a long time, but... since he knew his purpose, why was he still so calm
He... is so confident about his food
Soon, Jim was no longer in the mood to think about this problem, because Gao Yuesheng suddenly shouted "I'm going to kill you" and pounced on him and started fighting.
The lounge soon fell into chaos.
Ye Chui was the closest to the two men. When Gao Yuesheng started fighting, he immediately rushed forward to stop the fight with a sense of justice. He grabbed Jim's arm and made him unable to move. He said anxiously, "Let's talk it out. Don't hurt the harmony. A gentleman should use words instead of fists..."
Amidst the righteous voices trying to stop the fight, Gao Yuesheng began to punch and kick the man continuously...
Lin Wei, An Jing, Tian Xiaodu and others who were standing nearby were all stunned.
Tian Xiaodu coughed lightly: "Do you think Master did this on purpose?"
"Big Brother, how can you doubt Master's character?" An Xiaoxiao turned to Tian Xiaodu with a serious face and said, "Master obviously did this on purpose."
other people:"… "
While the lounge upstairs was in chaos, the spring banquet in the square below was still going on.
There were crowds of people surrounding the three banquet restaurants, Manhanlou, Shenghuayuan and Jingjialou. As popular restaurants for this spring banquet, there were naturally the most people here. If you look closely, you can find that the most people were interested in Manhanlou, followed by Jingjialou and then Shenghuayuan.
Because there were only so many tables, many people had to start queuing outside.
Han Yuyan and another emcee were also sweating profusely as they sat and gave the explanations.
"What is this dish? It looks like jelly, but I don't think it's jelly." A young man looked at one of the crystal-like dishes curiously, with a look of surprise on his face, "Is this something messy?"
The young man was obviously a little worried about the dishes made with pig intestines, pig tongues, and pig trotters in the whole pig banquet. The thought of those things made him feel disgusted, and he would never eat them. However, looking at this plate of crystal-clear and jelly-like dishes, he felt that he didn't need to worry about those things. Maybe it was a dessert
Thinking of this, he carefully picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.
It's slightly cool when you put it in your mouth, and the texture is crispy with a hint of elasticity. When you take a bite, you can smell a unique fragrance, which is very strange, and naturally there is an indescribable deliciousness... In a word, it's delicious.
"But what is this thing made of? I don't seem to taste any kind of fruit." The young man found it a little difficult to understand.
Han Yuyan had just served a guest. When she heard that the young man was showing great interest in this dish, the sister immediately smiled and said, "This is called pig skin jelly, and it is made from pig skin."
"Pigskin..."
The young man was immediately shocked. (~^~)
