During the morning competition, Chris praised Ye Chui's mutton pot highly, as if he had become a fan of Ye Chui, but this does not mean that he will favor Ye Chui. As a gourmet, the most basic principle is fairness and to follow one's own will.
The diverse flavors of Wang's Shredded Pork successfully attracted his attention, so he gave the dish a full score of three points. However, the Beijing-style Shredded Pork was mainly flavored with soy sauce, which could not attract his taste, so he only gave the dish a score of two points.
This score is the first time that Ye Chui’s dish lags behind other dishes since he started the cooking competition!
In the hall, Chen Tian, Chen Jiao, Tang Shanshan and others all showed worried expressions on their faces, but Mrs. Gao, Huang Yiyuan and He Chengqing were all happy. In this cooking competition, it seemed that they had a chance of winning against Ye Chui!
Mrs. Gao and He Chengqing secretly exchanged glances. It seemed that He Chengqing performed really well in this game. Could this be the result of that magical potion
The hall suddenly became a little noisier, but the evaluation continued.
"I'm keeping a wait-and-see attitude about the taste of this dish. It's certainly not as delicious as Wang's Shredded Pork, but it makes me look forward to it, so I'll give it three points," Hannah continued.
Tony and Sid discussed in a low voice for a while, and then Sid expressed his opinion: "Tony and I both give this dish three points. Our opinion is similar to Hannah's. We think the taste of this dish is a little lacking, but we can keep looking forward to it."
Tony then looked at Michelle, "What about you Michelle, how would you rate this dish?"
Michelle laughed: "The aroma of soy sauce is an important feature of Chinese cuisine. You may not have tasted this type of food, so you are very unfamiliar with the taste, but I am different. I have eaten many dishes cooked with soy sauce in the past, so I can say that I am very familiar with this taste, so... I give this dish a four."
Four points!
It just made up for the two points Chris just scored.
This made Ye Chui’s score equal to Jim’s in the first competition.
Chen Tian, Chen Jiao, Tang Shanshan and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Gao, Huang Yiyuan, and He Chengqing could not help showing disappointment, but this was a good start. Since Ye Chui came to Chinatown, he had always looked like a god descending from heaven. No chef could stand in front of him, but at least Jim did this. This was a very good start. Jim still had a good chance of winning against Ye Chui.
In the entire hall, the person who was most calm about this judge was probably Ye Chui. The taste of Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce was a little unfamiliar to these American gourmets. It was not as contagious as the fish flavor, and they did not have much favor for this dish. Ye Chui had expected this. Of course, Michelle's four-point evaluation was somewhat beyond Ye Chui's expectations. It seemed that this old lady had eaten dishes with soy sauce flavor when she was with Mr. Han, so she was very satisfied with the taste.
Han Yuyan, who was standing next to Ye Chui, finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest gently. Then she looked at the water cup in her hand again. Should she drink the water in the cup
Robert, as the host, was interviewing five gourmets, asking them about their opinions on the taste of the two dishes, but Han Yuyan could no longer hear these words. With a bit of trepidation that most girls would find ridiculous, she prepared to enjoy the glass of water, or rather... enjoy Ye Chui's indirect kiss
She slowly brought the cup of water to her lips, and then her cell phone suddenly rang.
It was Tian Xiaodu who called.
Han Yuyan felt as if her secrets had been exposed. She felt a little uneasy for a moment and quickly took out her cell phone from her bag. When she saw the name from across the Atlantic Ocean, she was filled with shame and anger. She immediately answered the phone and shouted in a low voice, "Big Brother, what are you doing!?"
"Dayu. Xiaoxiao just found something interesting on the Internet." Tian Xiaodu ignored the dissatisfaction in Han Yuyan's words, "There is a dish in Huaxia that seems to be very similar to the Wang's shredded pork made by Jim..."
Tian Xiaodu briefly explained the matter of fish-flavored shredded radish, and then continued, "Dayu, the recipe for fish-flavored shredded radish can be found everywhere on Chinese websites. This may prove a lot of things. The host of the BBC Food Channel should be next to you. Tell them about this and see if you can get them to report it."
Han Yuyan instantly understood the significance of this matter, and she immediately replied: "Okay, I'll try to contact them right away."
After hanging up the overseas call, Han Yuyan glanced at Ye Chui.
Ye Chui was listening carefully to the five gourmets' opinions on the taste of the two dishes and did not notice that she had received a call from Tian Xiaodu, so Han Yuyan did not disturb Ye Chui and prepared to walk over to the group of people from the BBC Food Channel.
Of course, it would be a bit too troublesome for her to hold a cup of water in her hand at this time, so... she put the cup of water on a coffee table very close to her.
The coffee table was placed in the audience seats. Unfortunately, it was quite close to Madam Gao, Huang Yiyuan, and He Chengqing...
Sister Han hurriedly found the director of the BBC Food Channel's live recording team.
This is a slightly bald white man who is staring at the scene seriously, directing the camera to shoot the scene and asking the host to prepare for his speech.
After Han Yuyan came over, he hesitated for a moment and then came in front of the director.
"Miss, what can I do for you?" the director asked with a friendly smile.
"It's like this..." Han Yuyan organized his words in his mind and explained in English, "There is a dish in China that is very similar to the Wang's shredded pork made by Chef Jim. I want to know if you can report this matter?"
When the director heard Han Yuyan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. What a program needs is all kinds of explosive points, and what Han Yuyan said is a big news. The report will definitely be full of explosive points, so he hurriedly asked: "Miss, is what you said true? Do you have any evidence?"
"There are many introductions to this dish and detailed cooking methods on Chinese food websites. These are all public in China. They should be considered as evidence, right?" Han Yuyan explained. "As long as you log in to the Chinese website, you can search for a similar recipe to this dish. The name of that dish is fish stew with shredded radish."
Han Yuyan used the transliteration to describe the dish "Fish-fried Shredded Radish".
The director immediately looked at his assistant and said, "What are you still standing there for? Take out your notebook and log on to the Huaxia website!"
"Okay..." The assistant hurriedly took out his notebook. This world has loose control over the Internet, and one can log into any website in the world at will. But after a pause, the assistant said with some embarrassment, "But... I don't understand Chinese."
"It doesn't matter." Han Yuyan's mind moved, "I'll find a translator for you."
As she said this, she called out to Tang Shanshan who was sitting in the distance and asked her to come over.
When she learned about her job, Tang Shanshan was naturally very happy and agreed - of course, she did not forget to mention the salary to Han Yuyan...
As things started to get busy here, the five gourmets on the judging panel had already started the second item of evaluation on the two dishes, which was appearance.
The color of Chinese cuisine’s color, aroma and taste.
“Both dishes look beautiful. The color combination and the way they are presented on the plates are works of art. So I give both dishes three points,” Michelle said. This means that he is very satisfied with the appearance of the two dishes. Of course, it is not to the point of being unexpected - in a cooking competition, the taste and flavor may reach four points, but the appearance is usually at most three points.
Michelle's evaluation seemed to have set an example, prompting the following gourmets to compare the two dishes together. Hannah then said, "I agree with Michelle. The appearance of both dishes is very attractive, so I can give them both a three-point rating."
"Me too." After thinking for a moment, Chris said, "Although I think Master Ye's Beijing-style shredded pork looks more attractive, but... it hasn't shocked me yet, so I give both dishes three points."
Chris gave the taste of Ye Chuijing's Shredded Pork a two-point rating, but gave a higher rating for appearance than Wang's Shredded Pork. This shows that he was indeed tasting the food on a fair and impartial basis.
There was not much difference between Tony and Sid's ratings on the appearance, and both gave it a three-point rating.
The cooking competition has already held two events. Ye Chui and Jim have the same score in these two events, which adds up to 30 points.
Then, comes the final highlight of this cooking competition.
A taste comparison of the two dishes.
The most important thing about a dish is not its appearance, nor its taste, but the flavor you experience in your mouth.
The cooking competition uses a format of three to four points in order to reflect the unexpected taste of the dishes. Three points means the dish is satisfactory, and gourmets also have a four-point option, which means the dish is delicious beyond imagination.
Seeing the five gourmets about to make the final judgment, many people couldn't help but get excited.
Even Ye Chui felt a little nervous, although he was confident about the outcome of this competition.
He Chengqing was the most nervous among the audience. She didn't eat breakfast or lunch, and didn't even drink a sip of water. She was very hungry, and most importantly, her mouth was very dry. Suddenly, she saw a glass of water on the coffee table not far away...
So she took the glass of water without thinking too much and gulped it all down in one breath... (~^~)
