Everyone looked at Michelle. She gave the Beijing-style Shredded Pork with Sauce a four-point rating, and her face had an expression of surprise and enjoyment. If she was satisfied with a dish, it would be three points.
Giving it four points means not only satisfaction, but also one point for surprise.
Michelle was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of this dish.
"This dish has a very unique taste. The unique rich sauce flavor is indescribably charming, and the way to eat it is even more unique. This dish also contains the aroma of barbecue, but it does not conflict with the sauce flavor of the dish at all. Instead, it is integrated very mysteriously. I haven't eaten such a unique food for a long time, so I give it four points. If possible, I would like to give this dish five points. Compared with Wang's Shredded Pork, this dish is simply many times better."
These words made Jim, Mrs. Gao, and Huang Yiyuan's faces turn very bad. Michelle was obviously excited by Ye Chui's Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce. The meaning of her words was very clear. If this dish of Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce was eaten together with Wang's shredded pork, she would give it a high score. As for the three points for Wang's shredded pork, there would be no score.
Michelle's reaction undoubtedly aroused great interest among the other four gourmets. Michelle was a five-knife gourmet, so her status was needless to say. This dish of Beijing-style shredded pork with soybean sauce gave her such a big surprise, which immediately made them full of expectations.
Unfortunately... they still can't wrap the shredded pork, green onion and cucumber accurately with tofu skin.
As a result, a hilarious scene appeared at the competition. One gourmet after another tried to pick up food with chopsticks in a rather clumsy manner, but failed again and again. The scene had a weird and funny feeling.
Michelle, the only one who could use chopsticks skillfully, had already taken three mouthfuls of the dish in succession. The look of enjoyment on her face became more and more intense, and she seemed to love this dish very much.
This scene was broadcast and fully presented on Chinese video websites.
"No way! These foreigners are too stupid. My five-year-old nephew is better than them!"
"You can't say that. Chopsticks are a common kitchen utensil used in Asia. It would be strange if you let foreigners who have never used chopsticks eat Ye Chui's dish smoothly. I'm really worried about them!"
"By the way, what exactly is this dish called Shredded Pork with Beijing Sauce? Where can I buy it?"
"Hey, this dish is not sold anywhere now. Ye Chui only made it once at the Spring Banquet, and Manhanlou doesn't sell it."
"I really want to eat it."
"I can't bear to watch the scene of a few foreigners picking up food. It's a waste of good food."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Chui will definitely win this game."
Michelle gave it a four-point rating, so the others will probably give it no lower than that."
…
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet. Of course, the gourmets at the cooking competition were in no mood to pay attention to these things. They watched Michelle eat the dishes bite by bite with a look of enjoyment on her face. They were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan - since the beginning of the gourmet era, this was the first time that Chinese cuisine had received such expectations and treatment.
The dish of Beijing-style shredded pork and tofu skin made by Ye Chui only had a total of a dozen pieces. Seeing that Michelle had already eaten five pieces, the others could no longer bear it.
"Shit!" Chris cursed in a low voice in panic, and simply threw away his chopsticks and started to work: he spread out a piece of tofu skin with his hands, picked up some shredded meat, rolled them together with shredded green onions and cucumbers, and put them into his mouth like a burrito.
Seeing this, Hannah, Tony, and Sid followed suit, simply threw down their chopsticks and started fighting.
This stunned the host and photographer of the BBC Food Channel who were broadcasting the live event.
In the live broadcast of BBC Food Channel, the witty host was just stunned. He was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word as he watched the five gourmets devouring the Beijing-style shredded pork without caring about their image.
After a long while, he finally reacted and said to the camera in amazement: "I have been a food show host for nine years and have witnessed hundreds of cooking competitions. But this is the first time I have seen gourmets look like this. I just want to say that this dish called Beijing-style shredded pork must be delicious!"
Robert stood at one side of the judges' table, and his fat face was also a little surprised. Seeing that the four gourmets had eaten this dish, he waved to the waiter next to him and asked them to bring tissues. Then he continued, "It seems that Mr. Ye Chui's dish must be very delicious. So I wonder what scores the gourmets give to this dish?"
After Chris ate one piece without any image, he grabbed the last piece of tofu skin. He looked at Hannah, Sid and Tony with a proud look, and said while chewing, "This is the first time I've eaten a dish with this flavor. I'm pleasantly surprised. This dish gave me such a big surprise, so I have nothing to say. Four points, I give this dish four points. If possible, I would even give it five points!"
"I think I've fallen in love with Chinese cuisine since today." Hannah wiped her fingers with a tissue, but unfortunately there was still sauce on the corners of her mouth. "I give it a perfect score plus four points for surprise."
"I think I don't need to say more." Tony said with a smile. He turned his head and looked at Ye Chui. "Mr. Ye Chui, if possible, can you make this dish again later?"
"Please don't forget me," Sid said immediately, "Oh my God, if I can only eat one bite of this dish, my taste buds will kill me!"
Sid is a man of few words, and this joke immediately caused the whole room to burst into laughter.
Robert couldn't help but laugh: "So, the five of you gave Ye Chui's dish of shredded pork with Beijing sauce a score of four points?"
The five gourmets nodded in agreement.
"Then in terms of taste, Ye Chui scored a total of 20 points, and the whole dish scored a total of 50 points. Mr. Jim's dish scored a total of 15 points in taste, and the whole dish scored 45 points. So I declare—" Robert paused, he turned his head to look at Ye Chui, and squinted mischievously, "The winner of this cooking competition is Ye Chui!"
There were several cheers from the scene, from the brother and sister Chen Tian and Chen Jiao, Jiang Yuemei, Li Xiuyun, Shen Zhongda and others also waved their arms vigorously, showing their excitement.
In sharp contrast to this is the indescribable loneliness and disappointment on the faces of Mrs. Gao, Huang Yiyuan and Jim.
Jim, who was standing beside the judges, had a somewhat empty expression on his face. After trying so hard for so long, he still couldn't beat Ye Chui...
He thought that he was the only one who could stop Ye Chui’s trip to Chinatown. He thought he was the savior, but it turned out to be just a joke.
Jim had a painful expression on his face and clenched his fists tightly.
Ye Chui saw Jim's appearance, so he walked up to Jim.
"Are you here to laugh at the losers?" Seeing Ye Chui, Jim asked with a bit of stubbornness and unyielding spirit.
"No, I admire your cooking skills." Ye Cui said.
So Jim got even angrier.
No matter how you listen to Ye Chui's words, it sounds like a mockery.
"Your Wang Family Shredded Pork is a dish that originated from China..." This is what Ye Chui would say every time after the competition. He continued, "Its original name is Fish-flavored Shredded Pork. Your method is obviously not authentic and not the most perfect method for this dish. But even so, your dish received a total of 45 points, with three points out of the full three points. Three points means that this dish has been cooked to perfection. You have completely perfected this imperfect recipe, which is enough to prove your cooking skills. You failed only because of the recipe."
He made a recipe of a dish perfect, even if the recipe was originally imperfect, he still did it, which was enough to prove himself. Every step could get a full score of three points from gourmets, which was already very remarkable. Jim knew that he should be content. As Ye Chui said, he lost not in cooking skills but in the recipe.
But he couldn't use this reason to comfort himself.
Because he understood that even with a perfect recipe, he might not be able to beat the boy in front of him.
This discovery made Jim feel even more painful. He clenched his fists tightly, his breathing became rapid because of the intense emotions in his heart, and sweat began to appear on his forehead. Jim's appearance startled Mrs. Gao.
Shortness of breath, cold sweat...
Are those pills finally going to work
Then let it work. It would be best if Jim went crazy and beat Ye Chui up severely, injuring him!
Anyway, Sheng Defu has completely failed, so Jim will use his last bit of ability to drag down Ye Chui.
Anyway, there is still a Wangfu Noodle House in Chinatown, and there is also Mrs. Gao.
As long as Ye Chui ends up broken in her hands, his trip to Chinatown will not be perfect.
Mrs. Gao stared at Jim intently. She began to expect Jim to go crazy and get angry.
At this moment, her heart was filled with excitement, excitement, malice and coldness.
There was a hint of ferocity on that wrinkled face.
Then…
Become crazy.
Someone is going crazy.
But it wasn't Jim.
But He Chengqing who was sitting next to her...
“Ahhhhh!” He Chengqing suddenly let out a sharp scream, jumped up, pointed at Jim and shouted, “I lost, I lost, you loser, you loser! You are such a loser!”
"Miss He..." Mrs. Gao stood up in shock and subconsciously tried to pull He Chengqing.
"Get out of here, you old bastard!" He Chengqing waved his hand angrily.
After all, Mrs. Gao was old and weak. She staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
He Chengqing had already picked up the chair and rushed towards Ye Chui and He Chengqing... (~^~)
PS: Okay, this is the last time I’m asking for votes. This volume is almost over, and the next volume will be the final volume. The name is still being considered - how about the name "God of Cookery Competition"
