Gourmet and actor

Xiao Ke said: "I was inspired by watching my dad make desserts before, and came up with a fish noodle recipe. I originally planned to launch it as a new dish after the Chinese New Year. Now let's use it for a competition. It's just that no one has tried it. I don't know. How is the response? As for the meat, I will make a decision after reading the list of ingredients.”

Zhou Fu originally thought that Xiao Ke still had spare recipes, but he was a little disappointed when he heard that one was a new product that no one had commented on, and the other hadn't been decided yet.He wanted to serve the spoon himself, but he couldn't think of a good recipe in a hurry.For Bo Na's last ray of hope, he had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Okay, I'll do as you said."

As soon as the words fell, several event managers who had received emails and security notices hurried in.

Darcy, who was walking in the front, looked dignified, gave Xiao Ke a comforting hug, and said apologetically, "Mr. It will still be affected. Several media outlets have posted screenshots of emails on Twitter just now, with various speculations attached. It is unprecedented for us to make a dish public before it is finished and get involved in disputes. My uncle compares Conservative, I'm afraid... In short, please be mentally prepared."

Xiao Ke knew that his uncle was Mr. Bocuse, the founder of the game.Although the old man is nearly [-] years old, he still insists on attending each competition in person and participating in the evaluation.His opinion is extremely weighty, and its influence is decisive enough to affect the outcome of the game.Darcy's so-called psychological preparation is actually a euphemism for losing the election.

Xiao Ke himself was discussing the countermeasures with Zhou Fu, and he was not surprised when he heard that. He nodded slightly and asked, "If we change to other dishes, can we change the judges' opinion?"

"Other dishes?" Darcy was deeply impressed by the handsome young man in front of him who did not come from a major but was only a part-time job when he was competing in the Asia-Pacific region. He secretly hoped that he would have a better performance in the final outstanding performance.After receiving the email just now, I felt sorry from the bottom of my heart.

Hearing Xiao Ke's words now, his eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly confirmed: "You mean, you have prepared spare dishes?"

But Xiao Ke denied it: "It's not a backup, but I just thought of the previous dishes."

Hearing that, like Zhou Fu, Darcy showed disappointment, "This... If you change the dishes, of course you can get rid of the negative. The impact of the face-to-face reports, if you get good results, it will prove your strength more."

When it comes to good results, his tone is a bit reluctant, obviously not optimistic.After all, the players participating in the competition did not practice for less than two months.Xiao Ke wants to compete with the well-prepared opponents with the dishes he found on the spur of the moment, and it is mostly doomed to be in vain.

However, he could understand Xiao Ke's reluctance to give up.He hugged the young man again, patted him on the back encouragingly, and said, "Good luck."

After finishing speaking, Darcy looked at the brothers Mimura who were surrounded by security guards, and his expression instantly became disgusted and cold, "Gentlemen, in view of your bad behavior, the organizing committee of the competition just made an emergency decision and unanimously agreed to cancel your registration." Eligibility. The final punishment result will be announced after the competition.”

Speaking of this, Darcy looked at Zhou Fu who was glaring at the two, and said with a pun: "If the Chinese team whose interests have been violated by you wants to be held accountable, we will unconditionally help to collect evidence."

Hearing this, Sora Mimura smiled miserably, and closed his eyes weakly.The younger brother impulsively announced everything to the public, not only will they be disqualified, but the entire Mimura family will also be condemned by public opinion and pushed to the forefront.Compared with the various future troubles that will follow, the punishment given by the competition organizing committee is almost negligible.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he couldn't help pushing away the security guard in front of him, rushed to Mimura Rin and asked sharply: "You bastard! Why did you do this?!"

Mimura Rin had already stopped laughing, but her expression was extremely nervous.Seeing him with a half-smile, Mimura felt chills in his heart, and took two steps back involuntarily.At the same time, a way to get rid of the crime suddenly flashed in his mind.

Mimura Rin ignored her brother, walked up to Xiao Ke, and said excitedly: "Now everyone has seen your hole cards, you can no longer beat other people, you are finished! You are doomed! If you insist on participating in the competition, you will lose." How? You are doomed to be eliminated and not get any ranking! Mr. Lin will eventually know that I am the best! And you are just a loser!"

His words were confused and thoughtless, but Xiao Ke still guessed some clues from his gnashing of teeth and crazy expression: this person seemed to hate himself extremely, and he even did not hesitate to publish the recipes at the risk of losing both sides, so that he would be at the bottom of the list. Lose the opportunity to compete for rankings.

This kind of practice of killing eight hundred enemies and harming one thousand is really not what normal people do.Xiao Ke looked at Han Xilin in bewilderment, wondering where he brought such a disaster.

Noticing his doubts, Han Xilin returned a wry smile, and said softly: "You can go to the competition with peace of mind, leave this to me, and I will definitely investigate."

Indeed, up to now, the reason is second to none, and the most important thing is the game itself.Grasping the last 2 minutes, Xiao Ke calmed down, walked through the long corridor with Zhou Fu, and walked to the competition field ahead.

Zhou Fu was still frowning at first, but seeing Xiao Ke's calm and infected face, he couldn't help correcting his mentality.Xin said that the worst result would be failure, but it was impossible, and he could still compete again after two years.Thinking of this, he also completely calmed down.

In alphabetical order according to the country, they are arranged to play in the fourth group.The audience didn't know what happened just now, but when they saw this team from the mysterious east, they still applauded enthusiastically.

On the contrary, the jury, who already knew the ins and outs, noticed the extraordinary calmness of the two, and couldn't help being curious.Even the elderly Mr. Bocuse raised his head, stared at them probingly for a moment, and secretly guessed: Under this calmness, does it represent a strong confidence in strength, or does it not matter if it is broken?Given the difficult situation of the Chinese team, it should be the latter.

The master of ceremonies introduced the entering teams one by one. After all the teams were seated, several guests and judges made simple opening speeches, and the competition officially began.

Following the master of ceremonies' words, the lights in each compartment suddenly brightened, and every move of the contestants was clearly exposed to everyone's sight.

Zhou Fu is also considered to be experienced in hundreds of battles and has participated in many competitions, but this is the first time he has experienced such a battle.Inevitably, like players from other countries, he began to feel restrained, and the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

Xiao Ke who is used to facing the camera is still indifferent.When he was filming a martial arts film before, the director asked him to do bullet time several times for the sake of effect.Compared to when I faced alone surrounded by dozens of cameras, the spotlight now is insignificant.

Seeing Zhou Fu's reserved face, his attention was focused on the audience in front of him, and his movements were clumsy, Xiao Ke said in a low voice: "Old Zhou, ignore them and concentrate on cooking. We must perform well."

As soon as he reminded him, Zhou Fu immediately came to his senses: now is not the time to be distracted and nervous. If you want to recover the disadvantages and gain the approval of the judges with new dishes, you must concentrate on them.Even if the final result is unsatisfactory, you can have a clear conscience.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fu immediately calmed down and asked, "Xiao Xiao, what should I do now?"

Xiao Ke handed him the sea bass that was still swimming in the small basin, "You pick the spines to get the meat, and mince the fish. I will handle the ingredients here."

"Okay." Zhou Fu nodded and started to do it.Like other teams, the two work together.

The audience looked at the twenty or so teams one by one, and for the time being they couldn't figure out the way to go, some people began to compare the appearance of the players with great interest.Xiao Ke, who has an innate advantage in this aspect, has received the most attention. Many women have pointed their binoculars or camera lenses at his face, admiring them while guessing what kind of special dishes this contestant from the mysterious ancient oriental country will cook. .

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.Fan Chunming, who was sitting with relatives and friends, only took a few glances at Zhou Fu's handling of fish from a distance, and felt something was wrong.Quickly fixed the lens on the hands of the two, zooming in and out to capture the details.

After looking at it for a while, he frowned tightly, and said anxiously and nervously: "This is not millefeuille! Why did they temporarily change the recipe?"

Others don't know Xiao Ke's competition dishes, but Fan Chunming, as an insider in the industry, knows everything about it when he runs back and forth to help them coordinate various trivial matters during training.

Seeing that they suddenly gave up the carefully prepared dishes and changed to another one, Fan Chunming was stunned and felt very anxious.

Father Han and the others didn't know the way to do it. Seeing him in a hurry, Yu Xiaoyue quickly said, "Could it be because they think the dishes they cook now are better, so they changed their minds temporarily?"

"Impossible." Fan Chunming denied it without thinking, and continued to stare at the situation in the cubicle.

Noticing that Xiao Ke poured the freshly made minced fish into the prepared egg whites, added seasonings, put them in the noodle mold, and prepared tomatoes next to it. It seemed that he wanted to make lantern fish noodles, so he stood up anxiously , "How can this dish compare to crispy fish with thousands of layers? What does Boss Xiao think! If you do this, you probably won't get the ranking!"

Seeing his fierce reaction, everyone finally realized that the situation was not good.Xiao Huiguang also frowned, and asked, "Did you encounter an accident? What circumstances would make the contestants temporarily change dishes?"

"I don't know." Mimura Rin's emails were sent in a limited range, and Fan Chunming didn't expect that the local media's Twitter had already had a brief report on the incident, so he speculated worriedly, "Could it be that the specified ingredients have not been delivered?" ? Alas, how could something like this go wrong in the rich and powerful Bocuse game!"

Deng Yibo interjected: "Could it be because of being persecuted, some people are afraid that Xiao Ke will win, threatened and intimidated Xiao Ke, so Xiao Ke had no choice but to agree?"

Before Fan Chunming could answer, Father Han said first, "That's even more impossible. Xiao Lin is also in the lounge. If that's the case, he'll kill that blind guy."

Speaking of this, Father Han suddenly came to his senses and slapped his head, "That's right, Xiao Lin has been with Xiao Ke all the time, if you have anything to ask, just ask him."

After finishing speaking, he immediately took out his mobile phone, left the table and went outside to make a call.

Seeing this, Fan Chunming sat down again and waited anxiously with everyone for the result.

Yu Xiaoyue on the side looked worriedly at Xiao Ke in the cubicle, his eyes flicked over the unused space in the corner, he was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

Hastily counting the compartments one by one, he reminded: "Isn't it said that there are 24 teams, why are there only 23 left now? The Japanese team did not show up. Could it be related to them?"

As soon as he reminded him, others also noticed something was wrong.

Just as Jin Lan was about to speak, Father Han came back first, and said with a livid face, "It's all caused by the Japanese devils! They had an argument with Xiao Ke just now, and frantically sent the recipes they stole beforehand to the judges and the media." and other contestants. In order to eliminate the negative impact, Xiao Ke and the others had to choose another dish."

After hearing the whole story, everyone was very angry.If it wasn't for the fact that there were other audiences beside him, he would have scolded him a lot.

Although they don't understand the rules of the competition, they also know that Xiao Ke and Zhou Fu have been practicing those two dishes with concentration for the past two or three months, adjusting the color, aroma and taste to the extreme.Now that it is canceled before the battle, the standard of the substitute dishes will definitely be greatly reduced.At that time, not to mention getting a good ranking, I am afraid that even being able to be ranked will be a problem.

Thinking of the Zhuang Xing Banquet before the departure, everyone happily teased Xiao Ke, saying that after winning a good place in the competition, they can take the opportunity to open a branch abroad. Everyone can't help but feel worried and uncomfortable, and at the same time hate Japanese team.Deng Yibo has already contacted a few buddies who are doing business in Japan, planning to take revenge.

The person who has the greatest expectation for Xiao Ke is Xiao Huiguang.Seeing his son in trouble, he felt extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't help holding on to hope, "Xiao Fan, you said just now that he was making fish noodles with lanterns. What kind of dish is this? Is there any hope to stand out?"

"The name of this dish sounds good. To put it bluntly, it is made of minced fish and flour, pressed out of the noodles and cooked, and then put in the tomatoes that have been picked and scooped out and half-emptied. The taste may not be very good, but the taste is refreshing and the shape is unique. Although Boss Xiao is good at ingenuity, but the main ingredients of this dish are placed there, and there are no new tricks."

Before finishing his sentence, Fan Chunming noticed that Xiao Ke had chopped the tomatoes into fine dices, and Fan Chunming couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Wait, they don't seem to make fish noodles with lanterns. Mr. Xiao, maybe you are right, say Maybe they still have hope!"

Hearing his words, everyone was refreshed.Even Deng Yibo, who was typing, put down his mobile phone, and stared at the cubicle together with the others, secretly praying that Xiao Ke and Zhou Fu could win this round.

At first they were the only ones who paid special attention to the dishes of the Chinese team.Not long after, when Xiao Ke completed the next step, the women who were only paying attention to his face suddenly exclaimed and turned their attention to the chopping board.

Their anomalies aroused the curiosity of other viewers, and they couldn't help but also looked at the cubicle of the Chinese team with great interest.When they saw clearly what Xiao Ke was doing, they exclaimed in surprise and gasped one after another, forming a crowd.

Affected by the audience, the judges with their backs to the cubicle couldn't sit still, and turned their heads to look.Looking at it this way, the line of sight can't help being glued.The contempt for the Chinese team just now also disappeared.

Only the aged Bocuse remained unmoved, still resting on the ground with his eyes closed.

Since the establishment of the competition in the last century, he has dealt with countless chefs and seen countless strange cooking techniques.A young man in his early twenties with a non-professional background did not have enough weight to impress him.

However, thinking of what happened to this young man, Bocuse couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.He also received those two recipes, which were indeed ingenious, and the photos of the finished products were also amazing.If it comes out right and tastes as good as it looks, he'll give it high marks.

It is a pity that in this competition of excellence, in addition to the supreme enjoyment of the taste buds, the visual surprise brought by the appearance is also an extremely important part.The recipes exposed in advance are like the exam questions leaked in advance, no matter how good they are, they can only be discarded with regret.

Judging from the reaction of the judges and the audience, this young man seems to have other skills.But Bocuse doesn't think a makeshift recipe can beat a well-prepared original.

After a while, he noticed that other people gradually looked back, only the hot eyes of the female audience still stayed in the direction of the Chinese team, Bocuse couldn't help showing a clear smile: It was exactly as he guessed, but that's all.

With his age and knowledge, there is almost nothing in the world that can bring him surprises, and everything is expected.Bocuse shook his head lightly, put on reading glasses and earphones, and listened to the organizing committee's discussion on how to deal with the Japanese team. At the same time, he looked through the contestant information prepared by the secretary again, and revisited the details of each team that he had been familiar with for a long time. over again.

Just after turning over half of the information, a burst of rich, overbearing fragrance suddenly wafted from the compartment.Rolling across the border like an army with high morale.In an instant, all the judges surrendered under this fragrance.Even the audience in the VIP seats in the front row got up and looked at the source of fragrance.

Those who can sit in this seat are active food critics or gourmets who love food, and VIP seats are reserved every year.The compartment is quite a distance from here, and the taste of the dishes was basically not transmitted here during previous competitions.Smelling the surprisingly strong fragrance, they couldn't help showing curious and yearning expressions, wishing they could find out.Someone has secretly decided to invite this young Chinese chef to show off his cooking skills at home after the competition, and the remuneration is negotiable.

Their reaction is the vane of the general audience.Although the people behind couldn't smell the scent, they found that even the well-informed VIPs looked curious, so they also focused their attention on the Chinese team again.

For a moment, not only the audience couldn't take their eyes off, but the judges closest to Xiao Ke were even more impatient.If it weren't for the regulations, they would definitely go over to watch in droves.It's a pity that they can only sit on the chairs at the moment, staring at the Chinese team's cubicle with the same hot eyes as the girls, completely forgetting that they didn't think highly of Xiao Ke's group before.

At this time, the organizing committee happened to be arguing about a key point.The behavior of the Japanese team is too bad and must be punished, but because there has never been a precedent, members inevitably dispute the specific punishment standard.

Bocuse was originally listening attentively, but the increasingly mellow aroma occupied his five senses, the discussion in the earphones suddenly turned into noise, and even the exclamation of the audience faded away, and all his attention was taken away. The domineering fragrance behind him attracted him.

Thick sauce, black bean sauce, marinade... Bocuse can tell what seasonings are used in the dishes just by the smell, but he can't figure out how these ordinary Chinese seasonings can be mixed to produce such a wonderful aroma, even the oil smoke No machine can take away its charm.

Do you want to break the rules and turn around?

Bocuse hesitated for a moment, only to find it difficult to resist the temptation of the fragrance.

Putting the materials back under the table, he just moved his body when he heard the master of ceremonies who, like everyone else, was intoxicated by the aroma and at the same time extremely curious announced: "Everyone, the dishes of the Chinese team have become more familiar."

It has only been more than three hours since the game started, and the other teams are still busy.

Looking at his watch, Bocuse gave up the idea of ​​turning around: he had seen a lot of food with outstanding smell and ordinary taste.Food needs to be carefully crafted. Can the Chinese team produce super high-quality dishes in such a short time?He was skeptical.

Everyone else was used to the founder's aloofness.As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, a senior judge who has been rated as a Michelin three-star chef for more than 20 consecutive years said, "I invite the Chinese team."

Hearing the translated invitation, Xiao Ke and Zhou Fu suppressed the last trace of nervousness in their hearts. Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, they each carried a tray to the main stage covered with a red carpet, and placed the dishes on the small table next to the judges' table. On the table, the master of ceremonies brought them to everyone in turn.

Following this action, the judges finally saw clearly what delicacy it was that made them lose their minds just now.

It was a plate of fried meat slices that were round on the outside and square on the inside, each slice was about half a finger thick and about the size of a pigeon egg.The heat is just right, a little sesame-like vesicles protrude from the slightly hard skin, lining the simple and square Chinese characters below, it is extraordinarily thin, crispy and oily, as if it is crispy when touched, while the thick meat underneath is transparent and yellow.

The meat slices are stacked in two rows on the square plate, and the wine red sauce is poured on it, and the ends are squeezed into tassels.It is dotted with tender green beans, which is very delicate.It reminds people of unique Chinese handicrafts at a glance.

The judges have seen countless dishes that are more beautifully presented, but without exception, they are not as fragrant as this one.Resisting the urge to taste it right away, the judges asked: "Mr. Xiao, this shape is very Chinese. What does it represent? What's the meaning of the words on it?"

Since Xiao is the chef, he only asked about Xiao Ke, and did not mention Zhou Fu for the time being.

After listening to the master of ceremonies' translation, Xiao Ke introduced: "This is our five emperors' money. Its shape comes from the copper coins that were used in the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties. From Qin to Ming, it runs through nearly 2000 years of history. The characters are the year names of the emperors at that time. The folks use red ribbons to tie them together and hang them at home, which has the meaning of auspiciousness and blessing."

The occasion does not allow, Xiao Ke did not introduce in detail which five emperors the five emperors' coins correspond to, but the sentence of 2000 years of history still shocked the judges.

Unexpectedly, any Chinese decoration can be traced back to such a long time. The judges couldn't help admiring, "I read Marco Polo's record of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty when I was young, and I also saw your Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Dynasty when I traveled to China. .Although I haven’t heard of the other three dynasties, they should be as great as Qin and Tang. Mr. Xiao, this dish of yours is unique, what ingredients did you use?”

"Piglet's spine." Xiao Ke also decided to make this dish on the spur of the moment when he saw that there were newborn piglets among the ingredients provided by the organizer.

The meat of the piglet itself is tender and smooth, and Xiao Ke carefully selected the ridge with the softest skin, cut it into thin slices with meat on the belt, and kneaded it for a long time with seasoning.After the smell has completely infiltrated into the texture, it is then shaped into a copper coin shape, and the words are perforated on it, and finally sent to the oven.

Of course, France also has grilled pork chops, but the judges have never seen any restaurant or chef that can cook pork chops with such aroma.Compared with the delicacy easily concocted by using expensive ingredients, the potential of ordinary ingredients is brought out to the extreme, which is more a testament to the chef's craftsmanship.

After asking about the raw materials, not only the judges became more interested, but even Bocuse, who has always been a god, was a little impatient.

He waved his hand, and immediately a judge brought the emperor's money suckling pig in front of him.After he forked a piece, the man handed the plate to other judges, who tasted it one by one.

Bocuse held the suckling pig up in front of him for a moment, and saw that the Chinese characters engraved on it were smooth in strokes, freehand and freehand with twists and turns.Although he doesn't understand Chinese, he can tell that the engraver is very skilled.However, why does this word seem to be a little different from when it was placed on the plate just now?

After a little thought, Bocuse resisted the urge to taste and said to the staff in charge of taking pictures: "Show me the pictures."

Paired with the photo, he discovered the details that had been overlooked just now: the words and even the fonts engraved on the five small copper coins were completely different.Some are simple and vigorous, some are romantic and beautiful, fully displaying the characteristics of different dynasties, with meticulous care.

Moreover, being able to engrave characters with different styles but equally beautiful on the soft and smooth leather as small as a pigeon's egg shows that Xiao Ke's knife skills are superb.

Unknowingly, in addition to the fragrance, Bogus gave his knife skills a high score in his heart.At the same time, I can't help but regret: I was too greedy to look at the shape, and after a while, the barbecue has cooled a little, and the taste is definitely not as good as when it was just out of the oven.Later, when it comes to evaluating the taste, it is only fair to refer to other people's opinions first.

Thinking of this, Bocuse put the sliced ​​meat into his mouth.

As the teeth bit down, the thin bubbles of fat bulging on the skin burst in the mouth.The crispy aroma spread to the tip of his tongue in an instant, which made his eyes widen in surprise: Shouldn’t roast meat be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, thick and slightly gluten-free?Why is the taste of Xiao Ke's cooking completely different?

After taking a sip, he actually tasted the crispy taste of potato chips.But continue to chew, under the crispy skin, there is another layer of leather-specific gelatinous soft waxy taste, smooth and tender.I just wanted to slow down and savor it carefully, but the thick and soft gelatin has already turned into a thick juice, and the umami sauce mixed with mellow oyster sauce and meat sauce is immersed in the teeth, and the lingering fragrance is endless.

Crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside, fragrant but not burnt, thick but not sticky, even if it gets cold, it does not affect the taste. This dish is really special!

In the past, when tasting dishes, Bocuse would stop at the first bite and give up after one bite.But now that he had eaten all of it, he was reluctant to put down the silver fork and wanted to have another portion.It is a pity that the money for two hanging five emperors is only enough for each of the judges, and there is no need to eat more.

As the founder, he can not write reviews, only verbal reviews.While the other judges were praising and burying their heads in writing, Bocuse looked at the photos carefully several times, thinking about the specific method.

The guests at the VIP seats had smelled it before, and were secretly fascinated.Seeing the judges write their comments now and still not forgetting to praise them, envious of their good food, the idea of ​​asking Xiao Ke to take the lead suddenly became more determined.

After a while, seeing that everyone had put aside the papers full of comments, the master of ceremonies also brought over another dish.

The presentation of this dish is more exquisite than the Diqian suckling pig just now.I saw that the long fish noodles were skillfully tied into the shape of Chinese knots, and they were neatly placed on the plate, like lanterns.The dark red and moist caviar sprinkled on the plate, like fireworks crumbs, against the firecrackers made of diced tomatoes, people can't help but think of the lively and joyful festival, and they all smile knowingly.

It was Xiao Ke's step of knotting the noodles that had been boiled and let cool that first attracted the audience's exclamation and the judges' attention.Xiao Ke's control over the strength of his fingers is truly astonishing as he can tie the smooth and fragile long noodles into complicated tassels.

The judges all thought that the auspicious wishful knot would be the magic weapon for the Chinese team to win, but the Diqian suckling pig came from behind with his strength and overbearingly harvested their favor.Facing this plate of dishes now, they were no longer as excited as they were before.

After Xiao Ke introduced the main ingredients, they had a low-pitched conversation and believed that the last dish of the Chinese team was enough to qualify for the top ten.If you use a meal as a metaphor, this plate is a small dessert to add to the fun after the meal. It is more than unique, but the taste is definitely not as good as the main course.However, the unique shape alone can also raise the average score.

After exchanging opinions, everyone started to move.

As a cold dish without spicy ingredients, auspicious ruyi knot has almost no fragrance.But after picking up the exquisite and small tassels and starting to taste them with a small sense of guilt for destroying beautiful things, everyone was stunned again.

Ordinary fish noodles, no matter how expensive the fish used, will inevitably have a starchy taste.But this is impossible, because without adding flour, the fish noodles cannot solidify and form at all.

But the auspicious knot in front of him is so tender and plump, there is only a pure sweet fish fragrance between the lips and teeth, and the stagnant and heavy without half starch.Coupled with the fresh and thick caviar dotted in between, the two different flavors of the same seafood collide and merge on the tip of the tongue, making the taste buds feel an unprecedented pleasant experience.The aftertaste is long and endless.While enjoying it, one can't help but wonder: What method did Xiao Ke use to achieve this step?

However, thinking about his culinary skills so well that he can make the roast suckling pig a unique taste, the recipe for improving the fish noodles is naturally even easier to grasp.Everyone felt that this was a matter of course.

After sweeping away the plates again, the judges were full of praise and urged the master of ceremonies to quickly bring the review pages, preparing to write a special letter while the wonderful taste was still on the tongue.

The master of ceremonies put the folded pages in front of the judges one by one, skipping Bocuse as usual.But just when he was about to stand back to his original position, he heard the elderly man say: "Please give me one—no, let me have two."

He didn't wear a headset and his voice was very soft.But these seemingly plain words fell into the ears of other judges, but it made them feel like they suddenly heard Exodus played by a symphony orchestra.It was so shocking that many people even dropped their pens to the ground.

In people's minds, Bocuse has not written a comment on the contestants for 20 years, and they are all oral.Moreover, even verbal evaluations are generally short and to the point.Which player can get one more comment, will be excited to cheer and even cry.

The young and light Xiao Ke actually made Bocuse an exception, and even made up for the evaluation just now, and his guidance and support will definitely be indispensable in the future.

Thinking that this senior not only has a very wide network of contacts in the catering industry, but also that the guests he usually entertains are celebrities such as presidents, dignitaries, rich and famous ladies, many judges showed envy in their eyes, but they were also convinced.Because they know the inside story, they all know that Xiao Ke, who can reverse the disadvantage in one fell swoop, is entitled to receive preferential treatment from Mr. Bocuse.

Xiao Ke himself didn't know anything about it, and he didn't expect there to be so many ways in it.After the judges finished writing their evaluations and scored well, he and Zhou Fu thanked everyone, then sat on the contestants' seats and waited for the final result.

Withdrawing from the state of concentrating on their work, the two inevitably thought of the Japanese team again.Xiao Ke quietly left the meeting, intending to ask Darcy about the situation.

From the preparation area at the back to the first lounge, Xiao Ke failed to find Darcy, but met Han Xilin at the back door, talking on the phone with a serious expression.

Seeing Xiao Ke approaching, Han Xilin quickly cut off the call and pulled him into the unoccupied utility room.

Xiao Ke had something to say to himself because of Han Xilin.Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was closed, he hugged himself tightly.After a while, he said, "I'm sorry."

Hearing the solemnity in his words, Xiao Ke couldn't help but looked up strangely, "Why do you want to apologize?"

"That lunatic really came after me." Han Xilin explained: "After the competition started, the organizing committee took the two brothers to the office to inquire about the situation. I claimed to be your cousin and insisted on listening, so they let me in Yes. After listening to the question, I realized that Mimura Rin had met me twice before, and also quietly followed the homepage where I wrote the review. Because I didn’t recognize him, and when he commented on his restaurant, his tone was cold. It’s always been on my mind.”

Recalling the situation where Mimura Rin yelled at Han Xilin before, Xiao Ke couldn't help guessing: "Then did he also see the comment you wrote to me? No wonder he threw my face at me during the Asia-Pacific competition. People who ignore themselves are even worse. I would be unhappy if I value someone who has defeated me. However, his reaction is too intense, completely different from ordinary people.”

"You guessed it. Now his brother is making a big fuss about Mimura Rin's psychological problems. Claiming that he has a mental illness due to too much stress, and that he is overwhelmed to do such a thing because of my indifference. Come on. The man also said, please let us and the organizing committee see that Mimura Rin is a patient and don't care about it."

Xiao Ke said displeased: "This is too shameless."

"That's right, I told him on the spot that I would never accept this reason. The guy changed his words and said that he would immediately take Mimura Rin for a psychological evaluation and give me the result."

Although Xiao Ke felt that there was definitely something wrong with Mimura Rin's head, he was still angry when he heard this, "Listen, even if the doctor says nothing is wrong, they will make a medical record."

"That's it." Han Xilin said sarcastically, "This Yucun Kong is not simple. I just asked, after they lost to you in China, he bribed the employees in Zhou Fu's store and secretly recorded the video. But , they try to use sickness as an excuse to escape punishment, that doesn't matter. We can also ask in reverse, why they let a sick person participate in the competition, and also bought the video secretly like an accomplice. At that time, it is not only Mimura who will be condemned Rin will also include the entire Mimura family. I remember that Mr. Fan said that their restaurant is quite famous in Japan, and I want to see who else is willing to patronize when this scandal is exposed."

This method can also be regarded as repaying the person's body in his own way.Xiao Ke, who had experienced the loss of reputation due to the slander of villains, nodded and said: "When the organizing committee finds me, I will tell them about Yu Cunkong finding someone to secretly take pictures. The catering industry is for repeat customers. Once word of mouth falls, it’s not far from Guanzhang.”

After figuring out what was going on, and having a way to deal with it, Xiao Ke's mood gradually improved.

At this time, I only heard Han Xilin say: "I went to the auditorium during the evaluation just now, and the judges are very satisfied with your dishes. I think you should be able to get a good ranking in the final evaluation."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ke made a serious face on purpose, "To put it bluntly, it was the disaster you caused that made us flustered and almost messed up the game. Tell me, how do you want to compensate me?"

Hearing his extremely serious tone, Han Xilin panicked.Just about to apologize, but when he lowered his head and met a pair of smiling eyes, he suddenly realized that Xiao Ke was joking.

Seeing that he wasn't angry, Han Xilin heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "How about paying me back to you? I'll be your cow and horse for the rest of my life."

"Then continue to attract bees and butterflies?" Xiao Ke reached out and rubbed his sharp-edged face, expressing all kinds of weird expressions, and complained in his mouth: "Why are you so good-looking. If you have an extra face, how can you change your face?" I'm sure I won't miss you forever."

Holding his hand and kissing his palm lightly, Han Xilin said: "I'm wronged, I've already attracted you."
