delicious life

Salt is a liquid brewed through koji making and fermentation, and then under the action of various enzymes secreted by various microorganisms.

If we compare the two together, the bottle of soy sauce he brought and ordinary soy sauce, one is in the sky, the other is on the ground...the difference is nothing.

If he didn't lose this soy sauce that can make any food delicious, he would be [-]% sure to be shortlisted just by making dried shrimps mixed with cucumber.

The trick of this dish has been experienced as early as the special training.To mix cucumbers, you must first choose tender cucumbers with thorns on the top, crispy, raw and juicy, which is the key to success.Secondly, the processing method should use "shooting" instead of "cutting".Cut obliquely after shooting, so that the exposed surface of the cucumber is large, the seasoning is easy to taste, and the cucumber mixed is delicious and refreshing.During this process, the most prominent feature is the excellent use of sauces such as salt, soy sauce, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, and sesame oil.

But... the soy sauce that has been relying on so much for him to advance smoothly, was accidentally lost by him!

Not even able to own [-]% of the bargaining chips, Mo Ci's heart was in a mess, and the blood in his body flowed backwards.

Cold cucumber without sauce, and others

Human-made egg-flavored bitter gourd rings, cold salad with three shreds, tender lotus root slices with scallion oil, and brine duck wings... are the differences in quality.

The cooking method of sea rice mixed with cucumber is simple, and it depends on the taste to win.Compared with other dishes, which are complete in color, fragrance and taste, they can better reflect the cooking skills of the contestants.Mo Ci tried his best to restrain the urge to bury his face in his shoulder, forced a smile, and asked the host to introduce to the camera.

After a pause of less than 1 minute, the active host continued the interview according to the number.

He can no longer compete on the same stage as Duan Feng.

He failed the expectations of his father and brother.

He has no chance.

Mo Ci's heart was overwhelmed, and his pale face seemed to be covered with ashes.

He stared blankly at the contestant with a confident smile, opened his mouth every movement, and described his dishes extremely wonderfully.

He's leaving here soon.

Mo Ci closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

All the dishes were sent to the judges' table, Mo Ci didn't look up, he looked at his shoes without any expression.

Strive for the top and let others notice...

This feeling of trying hard but failing miserably reminded him of standing in an empty rostrum a long time ago, staring blankly at the empty playground.

The sky is blue, but my heart is dark.

Those efforts were wasted because of nervous forgetting words in the speech.

Those honors that can be obtained are far away from him with the satisfied smiles of others.

This is fate enacted again.

Hard work but not necessarily a fate of success.

Zhao Hongxiu shuddered for no reason when he saw Mo Ci's withered face.

The dishes brought by the staff, with the contestants' names on them, and Mo Ci's dried shrimps mixed with cucumbers were placed in front of him.

Zhao Hongxiu moved his chopsticks, seeing Mo Ci off the court closed his eyes, slowed down his arm movements, and put the food into his mouth.

Very ordinary dishes, but it is difficult to describe the taste.

Although Zhao Hongxiu is outside the gourmet circle, he has eaten a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas.It is tender and refreshing at the first bite, and dark green and crispy after chewing, which has a special taste.Through this dish, it seems that Mo Ci can be seen behind him busy sweating on the booth, which is full of dedication.

Zhao Hongxiu raised his head frequently, paying attention to the sad expression on Mo Ci's face, and then looked at another cucumber cold salad pushed by the judge beside him, as if he understood something.

There have been people off the court who have been looking at this side.Zhao Hongxiu, who has a keen intuition, pretended to be casual, and cast a glance at the audience.

It's a woman with a baby face.

His big eyes stared at the judges' seat, and where his eyes fell, he turned towards himself.

Is there anything wrong?

Zhao Hongxiu habitually hooked the corner of his mouth and glanced at the label on the exhibition board. The woman's name was Tian Tian.As if to test something, Zhao Hongxiu put down his chopsticks on purpose, and while tasting this cold cucumber dish, discussed with the judges beside him, put the dish aside and ignored it.

Soon, I saw the women in the audience clenched their fists and their expressions changed.Keeping looking up here, the confidence in the eyes quickly turned into anxiety, and the negative emotions distorted the baby face.Then there is the gesture of constantly looking at the pale Mo Ci, the anxiety can be seen at a glance, and it seems to be gnashing teeth.

The ever-changing complexion made Zhao Hongxiu suddenly suspicious, and he discussed with the judges on the judges' bench.Egg-flavored bitter gourd rings, three shredded cold salad, tender lotus root slices with scallion oil and other dishes were carefully discussed by everyone, and finally two dishes with special taste were determined.

The cold three shredded salad and tender lotus root slices with scallion oil conquered the judges with their unique taste, Zhao Hongxiu remained silent and did not participate in the discussion.

The 10-minute discussion process was coming to an end soon. When the judges gathered their opinions and were about to select the champion of the field, Zhao Hongxiu suddenly stopped the score book being passed around, and said to a group of people with different expressions: "This The dishes are very special, and I don’t see you all having a good taste.”

"Simple and simple, it suits my taste better. Let's try it again." Holding the record book tightly in his hand, the smile on Zhao Hongxiu's face is hard to refuse.

The judges present were all well-known figures in City C, so they naturally knew their respective identities. The Zhao family is rich and powerful, and occupies a place in the real estate industry. This competition has requisitioned the Zhao family's territory in order to fully organize it.What's more, it was not too much for the young master of the Zhao family to ask them to taste it again. Chen Ming was good and bad, and all the judges had a clear plan in their hearts. They picked up the chopsticks beside them and picked up the dishes that Zhao Hongxiu pushed to their hands.

Put it in your mouth.The taste is not as good as the three shredded cold salad, the tender lotus root slices with scallion oil.

But the taste of cucumber and the sauce are perfectly integrated, and assembled with nutritious dried shrimps, it constitutes a unique taste.You may not notice it when you first taste it, but after chewing slowly, you will find its uniqueness.

It was a feeling of devotion, accumulation of water, and reward after suffering.Like an invisible hand, it ruthlessly held back the tongues of the judges.

A judge who didn't like Zhao Hongxiu's attitude at first changed his attitude after tasting this dish. He didn't have time to compete with Zhao Hongxiu, a junior, and his expression became more serious.

"Thanks to you kid, otherwise I would have missed a delicacy!" The middle-aged judge with a mustache beckoned to Zhao Hongxiu, and his high cheekbones were also beaming with joy.Not minding Zhao Hongxiu's status, the judges who were the most daring and least aware of the details laughed and snatched the scoring book from Zhao Hongxiu's hand.

After some tugging and tugging, the other judges at the table drew up the list of champions under the acquiescence of Zhao Hongxiu.

After receiving the score book, the host took the results of the game and read aloud the champion, third runner-up and runner-up.

Surprise, sighs, applause... Mo Ci could no longer hear them.

He mechanically took the shortlisted number plate from the host's hand, grinned mechanically, accepted the camera interview, and said some incoherent speeches.

The peak turns.Mo Ci was lost and found again, his heart was still shaking, hanging on the edge of the cliff, and he was not pulled back in time.

Mo Ci faced the bright camera, the dazzling flashlight, and saw the host pull the camera towards the judges at the judges' bench.

Zhao Hongxiu dangled in front of him with a narrow smile on his face, the act of giving a thumbs up made him both happy and resentful.

Thanks, no thanks... Two diametrically opposed thoughts collided in the back of my mind.

Was it Zhao Hongxiu who released the water?Mo Ci suddenly had an idea, and was quickly escorted back to his heart.

He has his confidence.He worked hard and got what he deserved.

But...why do you stand out from so many people?

Another idea popped up, like a crazily growing vine, encroaching on Mo Ci's heart.

Bitter, hot, sour, sweet, with all kinds of tastes, Mo Ci doesn't know whether he should laugh or sigh now.

He couldn't doubt his ability, and a little bit of unconfidence in his heart popped up uncontrollably.

He is tangled here, adding other colors to his pale complexion.

Mo Ci really wanted his elder brother to be here, and slapped him hard to wake him up from this inexplicable madness.

"Congratulations on becoming the champion!" A voice came in, but it was not the familiar Duan Feng.

The baby-faced girl looked at him with a strange look on her face and said congratulations.

Mo Ci smiled absent-mindedly, and responded to her words.The unfocused eyes seemed to be looking for something. Seeing that she was bored, the girl hurriedly said goodbye and walked out of the arena with her backpack.

In the backpack slung across the shoulders, a soy sauce bottle with a special logo was exposed from the unzipped zipper.

Mo Ci glanced up inadvertently, his eyes darkened, his complexion settled——

33、chapter32

"Mo Ci, what's the matter with you?" Duan Feng shook his hand, shaking it in front of Mo Ci's eyes, trying to rescue Mo Ci from this dazed state. After shaking his hand for a long time, Mo Ci still didn't say anything. In a word, his unfocused eyes stared blankly ahead.

This is already the third day after the game, the day to enter the finals.

Since yesterday, something was wrong with Mo Ci. He didn't talk about the game with him like before, and said goodbye to him in a hurry, without even a smile on his face.Let him be depressed for a long time, unexpectedly see you today.Mo Ci's condition has not yet recovered, and his sluggish brows and eyes are no longer full of confidence, which has to make people worry.

"Mo Ci!" Perhaps because of the strengthening of his hand, Mo Ci finally turned around and looked at Duan Feng who put his hand on his shoulder.

"You're finally back to your senses!" Duan Feng clapped again, his thick sword eyebrows opened to both sides, not as tightly lined up as before, there was less worry in his voice, and his tone was much lighter.

"
