A draw was a result that no one expected. For both sides, a draw means that no one can relax in the following duel, otherwise the final score may be tied again.
However, this was of no importance to Master Jie and Logan who had just finished the game. The two of them, one old and one young, had never known each other before. In this fierce dim sum duel, they recognized each other's strength and made an agreement. A duel again ten years later.
After Master Xie explained everything, Luo Gen glanced at Luo Ke and Xiang En, who were looking at him, and then turned his back to the two of them and said: "You have all heard that over the years, thanks to the care of the dark cooking world, but now ,I'm leaving."
Xiang En pursed his lips, frowned and looked at Logan's back and said, "Do you think you can leave? Logan!"
After saying that, Xiang En had a chain dart in his hand. Under Xiang En's control, the chain dart flew toward the back of Logan's head like a poisonous snake with fangs exposed, and was about to hit Logan's head.
But Logan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He unknowingly threw a white ball in his hand to the ground. A burst of thick smoke covered his body, and at the same time, the chain dart penetrated the smoke and stabbed him in the air. .
The smoke lasted for less than 5 seconds before completely dissipating, and Logan's figure had disappeared from everyone's eyes. Le Yuan raised his head and looked at Logan who was leaving from above.
"Boy! Don't forget the date in ten years!" Then Logan cursed in his sharp voice: "And these idiot judges, please train your taste! If it were me, I would have done nothing. Don't think about raising the red spoon!" The opponent, Logan, agreed that he understood the chef's cuisine, which is enough to show that Chef Xie has reached the top of the mainland in terms of siomai.
After two rounds, the people in the dark cooking world who were currently lagging behind couldn't sit still. Xiang En, who was temporarily the master of ceremonies, threw off his black cloak, revealing the enchanting and revealing outfit underneath.
Then he pointed at Ren with one hand and said: "The third battle of seafood, Seven-Star Sword Ren, come out and challenge!"
"Le Yuan? Can you temporarily return that set of seven-star knives to that woman? I, Ren, will definitely win!" Ren looked at Xiang En, who was not carrying any knives, and suddenly made a request to Le Yuan.
"Ren, what are you doing? That woman is your enemy. Is she someone you know?" Meili on the side was very puzzled as to why Ren, who had always been very sensible, would make such a request.
Ren took the Seven-Star Sword from Le Yuan's hand and handed it to Xiang En's hand, and then asked excitedly: "Are you satisfied now? Tell me why you have a second set of Seven-Star Swords that cannot exist, and why? How is Luo Xie doing? Is he still alive?"
Xiang En hung the Seven-Star Sword on his body, then touched the set of knives with a fascination, then glanced at Ren and said: "I didn't tell you that I would say this now, I will talk about it after we compete." Let’s discuss this, executioner!”
Xiang En was not idle in the two days before the competition. In order to get back her set of seven-star knives, she could be said to have tried every means, but she denied everything about Le Yuan. Le Yuan's situation was almost unsolvable. , don’t eat soft or hard food.
However, she still thought of a possible way, which was to threaten Renn. For Renn who "personally" killed Luo Xie, the maker of the Seven-Star Sword, Luo Xie was the threshold that he could not pass in his life. In order to confirm Luo Xie's condition, Renn I agreed without any hesitation.
"Ren, you have to be careful. This woman Xiang En has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Don't make a mistake." Although Le Yuan couldn't remember the specific plot of this episode, he still knew that Ren was defeated. And it was a very unjust defeat.
"Of course, I will bring home the victory!" Renn walked towards the judges' table and looked at Xiang En in front of him. Renn didn't show mercy at all and pushed her away and said: "Don't block the way!"
Arriving at the judges' table, Ren pointed his fingers forward and said confidently: "Tell me! Judges! What kind of seafood do you want to eat?"
Holding his right hand tightly, Ren's blood surged up at this moment, and he said full of fighting spirit: "From the perspective of a chef, whatever you want to eat, I will make you feel as happy as a god!"
The leading man with a scar and a short beard narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, and the topic of the next competition was decided.
"In that case, is there any need to say it?"
"That's right! It's like a half-orange egg, a little thick but not too thick—"
"I want you to have one at any time. Hold it in your mouth. It's white and tender. It has a soft and smooth taste..."
After the descriptions of several judges, the theme of the dish was ready to come out. The man with a short beard and a scar raised his lips and said: "Yes, without it, Shanghai cuisine is simply insignificant. That is Shanghai hairy crabs!"
Shanghai hairy crab, as a crab with a lot of crab roe, is one of the best in Chinese cuisine. But unlike frog crabs and blue crabs, it is a relatively small species with not much meat. Even if all the crab meat is taken out, it is difficult for people to feel satisfied that they have "eaten", which is an extremely important consideration. Ingredients for chef skills.
Xiang En, who was ready, shouted to a dark cooking minion not far away: "Open the crab trough!"
In the next second, the wooden floor in the center of the playing field began to separate to both sides, revealing a water tank. A net was pulled up, and it was filled with live Shanghai hairy crabs.
Xiang En introduced to everyone with a proud look on his face: "Look! The green crab shells and the shiny crab hairs are guaranteed to be genuine Shanghai hairy crabs, and they were just caught ashore this morning. The quality is guaranteed." Fresh and delicious.”
Then Xiang En quickly moved closer to the net containing the hairy crabs, picked up a bamboo dustpan and began to select the hairy crabs. While selecting, he taunted Ren and said: "Haha... Ren, how long will you still be there leisurely? Are you? Forget, the competition has already started from the moment you choose the ingredients.”
The hairy crabs in the net at the next second, all of which were the best looking, the fattest and the biggest, were all collected by her into the bamboo dustpan.
Seeing Xiang En's actions, instead of speeding up the selection of hairy crabs, Ren stood aside and watched. When Xiang En finished selecting, Ren moved and selected the thinnest batch from the net, and the one with the worst color.
"What's the matter, Ren, has he given up on himself? Those crabs should be the worse kind, why would you choose that one?" Shiro asked with his nose pressed in confusion.
"Ren is super serious now, and he doesn't have the best ingredients, only the most suitable ingredients. The crabs that have just been replaced with shells are just right for Renn's cooking. If this competition continues like this, Renn has a great chance of winning. ." Le Yuan just took a look and understood Ren's next thoughts and made the above conclusion.
And just as Utilization said, there is no trace of hesitation or hesitation in Ren's eyes now, and he has the clearest and most transparent eyes. He selected the smallest knife among the seven-star swords, and used the sword's smooth movements to pick out the meat from the crab legs one by one, leaving no residue.
The knife path that cuts through the crab shell is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and even the air looks like it wants to be split into two! Crab shells with prayer mantras for salvation and rebirth were piled up as high as a hill in an instant. The extremely precise knife work and delicate but gorgeous technique almost make people forget the existence of time.
While Ren was busy in full swing, Xiang En on the other side just dug out the crab meat, cracked a few eggs and put them in a bowl, then took the wine jar and went to entertain the five judges. She doesn't look like a chef at all, just like a waitress.
"Master judge, you must eat my food first..." Xiang En's inaudible voice was indescribably clear in Le Yuan's ears.
Not understanding Xiang En's thoughts yet, Le Yuan could only wait and watch. Soon Xiang En left the judges' table and returned to his seat to start cooking.
The freshly dug crab meat was mixed into the eggs, and then there was a simple hibiscus crab dish. The seven-star knife was barely used, and the top-quality Shanghai crab was completely lost.
The dishes on both sides have been brought to the judges, causing the judges to exclaim: "Xiang En makes fuyong eggs..."
"Oh! Ren made it the most advanced dish in Shanghai, 'Crab Dou'! And it's not just an ordinary 'Crab Dou', it's fried into a golden-colored coating!"
"Which dish should I start with?"
"Does that need to be said? Of course it belongs to Ren!"
While the judges were arguing, Xiang En suddenly raised a finger and said softly to them: "Don't forget the first promise you made to me. Please start eating the food I made!"
The man with a short beard and a scar supported his head and said: "Which side eats first does not affect our judgment, so let's start with the hibiscus crab first. However, the ugly words come first. Don't think that you just entertained us with wine. We have been bribed, and our review is fair and strict.”
After the hibiscus crab was tasted, the evaluation came out.
“It’s delicious, it’s really the best taste! Thick crab meat, shredded mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and just the right heat. It tastes sticky and slippery, and the softly puffed eggs are simply impeccable, except for the hibiscus. As for the crab dish, it seems a bit boring and monotonous, with nothing new!”
Xiang En was not disappointed after hearing this. Instead, he took out several bowls of crab soup from one side and said, "Everyone, this is the crab soup that comes with the hibiscus crab. Please enjoy it slowly!"
"Huh? Isn't it just hibiscus crab?" The man with a short beard and a scar asked doubtfully.
But Xiang En whispered in his ear: "The second promise is to eat every last drop of the food served. Have you forgotten?"
Remembering the promise they just made, the five judges drank the crab soup in one gulp. At the same time, a victorious smile appeared on Xiang En's face.
