Chapter 201 Taste
The fire licked the bamboo tube, and the moisture in the bamboo tube continued to evaporate. As the moisture evaporated, the stronger the fragrance began to drift into the air.
"It smells so good!"
"What's so fragrant?"
"I feel like I'm suddenly hungry."
More and more people smelled the fragrance, and the sounds of various words gradually increased. When people around them said this, Xu Da's face turned ugly.
This kind of taste will definitely not be the fragrance that the dishes made by the two chefs on his side can emit!
There were two chefs who looked ugly as Xu Da, but they were still comforting themselves: "Maybe they just smell the fragrance!"
When the fragrance reached the judges' seat, several food commentators were a little uneasy when they smelled the fragrance. They grabbed the microphones in front of them and said, "Has anyone ever smelled this fragrance?"
"No, this is the first time I smell this scent."
"Me too."
"Did this fragrance really come out of those two bamboo tubes?"
As food commentators, they must be a very expert. They have seen many foods that have eaten, both colors, fragrance and taste, but this is the first time they have encountered this fragrance that makes them feel comfortable from the bottom of their bones.
"Or why don't we go over and take a look?" someone suggested.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone stood up tacitly and walked towards Zhao Ziqiao. The two bamboo rice made by Zhao Ziqiao was so attractive.
After these food commentators left, Xu Da, who was standing under the stage, turned black all over his face!
Wen Qiqian saw Xu Da's look of wanting to eat people, and smiled and patted Zhao Guohui on the shoulder and said, "Guohui, it's so satisfying! Ziqiao, you really give us a face!"
Zhao Guohui nodded without comment. Now Zhao Ziqiao is surrounded by food commentators who are judges, and Xu Da’s two chefs are empty, so he feels a little embarrassed for the two chefs!
However, when everyone maintained unprecedented curiosity and expectation, Zhao Ziqiao was the most peaceful one. This fragrant rice could emit a burst of fragrance without processing. Now, after cooking, it was not beyond his expectations.
"Did you add any special spices here?"
The food commentator, who was leaning against the stove and smelling very comfortable, couldn't help asking, thinking that what they saw alone should not reach this level.
Zhao Ziqiao shook his head silently and did not answer this person's question.
"How is that possible?" Seeing Zhao Ziqiao shook his head, the food commentator who asked felt that Zhao Ziqiao was cheating on him.
Seeing this person, Zhao Ziqiao looked at him lightly and said, "Why is it impossible? As long as the ingredients are good, everything will be possible!"
"You... are unreasonable!" What Zhao Ziqiao said made the man a little angry! What kind of ingredients can reach this level? Isn't this lies with lies with your eyes open?
"Hmph!" Seeing that this person couldn't listen to the truth, Zhao Ziqiao snorted and asked back: "I'll give you a pound of rotten pork. Can you make me a delicious meal with a fragrant meal?"
"I..." This question directly left the man speechless. He felt that Zhao Ziqiao was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"You can't make it? But if you give you a pound of fresh pork, no matter how bad your skills are, as long as you don't burn it directly into charcoal, it will turn into a fragrant delicacy over time, right?"
"you…"
The man wanted to argue with Zhao Ziqiao, but was stopped by another person and asked with a smile: "Brother, when will your bamboo rice be good?"
When the person who stopped him asked this, the man also extinguished his mind about whether he was right or wrong with Zhao Ziqiao. After all, he would have to taste Zhao Ziqiao's bamboo rice later!
What’s more important is when you can eat bamboo rice!
Zhao Ziqiao turned his head and looked at the two chefs beside him. They had the most say in this kind of work.
Zhao Ziqiao's move, with the eyes of several food commentators, also looked at the two chefs. When they saw these eager gazes, they immediately straightened their bodies and said, "Just wait a little longer."
It feels so comfortable to be watched! Especially they can control the situation perfectly.
"Judge, the dishes here are ready!"
When the food commentators were slightly disappointed, the shouts of two chefs from the Bor Hotel came from behind them. The dishes they steamed in the pot were ready.
However, none of these food commentators seemed to hear it, and turned a deaf ear to the greetings behind him. Instead, they were like little novice monks waiting for Xinyi's breakfast after morning class.
"Mr. Xu, it seems that the dishes cooked by your hotel chefs are not popular at all!" Seeing the actions of these group of food commentators, Zhao Guohui squeezed into a ball of smiles on his face and shouted loudly at Xu Da, not giving Xu Da any face.
"Oh, no one will move the unpalatable things! It's pitiful!" Wen Qiqian then echoed. He didn't want to miss this kind of assist that could hurt the wrong person!
Xu Da was sarcastic by Zhao Guohui and Wen Qiqian, and his whole body was trembling with anger. When he saw several people subconsciously looking back at his hotel, the layer of pot bottom on his face could be as thick as half a foot.
He walked angrily towards the food commentator who was surrounding Zhao Ziqiao's side, and Xu Da shouted to them: "The dishes in our hotel are ready, you should try them!"
When two or three people heard Xu Da's words, they suddenly turned their faces. Xu Da called them to be judges. It's true, and Xu Da also paid car and labor fees, but they were very unhappy with Xu Da's behavior of pointing fingers at them!
At most, they and Xu Da have a cooperative relationship. Why should he point fingers at them like an old man? At worst, they don’t want the money given by Xu Da. Everyone will disperse and don’t have to suffer the bird’s aura at all!
When the atmosphere was a bit awkward, there was a person among the food commentators who had taken Xu Da's money and immediately came out to smooth things over and said, "It will take some time here. Let's try the dishes prepared by Mr. Xu first. After all, we are judges, so we can't ignore it, right? Besides, the dishes are ready. If you don't try them at the best time, you have to eat them later. This is like a trampling for food! As food commentators, we cannot do such things."
As soon as these words were said, the two or three people with slightly changed faces were relieved. They still had the most basic professional ethics, not to mention that if they really delayed the best time to taste, it would be like soldiers who took guns to the battlefield and shot all the bullets when they went out. They would not make such a low-level mistake!
Of course, the most important point is that it takes some time for the bamboo rice dumplings on Zhao Ziqiao!
With these factors in it, several people returned to the judges' seat, but Xu Da gritted his teeth and wanted to rush to the stage, punching one by one, knocking these bullshit food commentators who didn't give him face to the ground!
The judges returned to the judges' seat, and the two chefs of the Bor Hotel may not look very good, but since it was a competition, they could only be patient and let the hotel staff bring their prepared dishes to the judges on the judges' seats to taste.
The food commentator who secretly collected Xu Daqian was naturally the first to pick up chopsticks, pick up a piece of fish steamed from Dongbanxing, and also picked up the microphone.
"The Dongbanxing fish meat is white and has elastic meat. The red skin and white fish meat are very enjoyable visually! And the soup is just right, but it only leaves a layer on the bottom of the plate. It does not take the limelight of the fish, but it can make people feel a bit of soup for seasoning. It is useless to say."
The brief comments caused the onlookers to swallow their saliva, and their eyes were more focused on the steamed Dongban Star on the judges' seat.
Seeing the changing expressions of the onlookers, the Cantonese chef who made this dish finally regained some confidence.
"Well! The fish is smooth and has a sweet taste. This skill is great!" After putting the fish into your mouth and eating it, the man started to comment again.
With his two comments, several other food commentators also held their chopsticks and reached towards the dish.
After eating, everyone nodded. The chef's skills are worthy of his title of chef!
"call!"
Seeing that all the food commentators nodded, Xu Da then breathed a long sigh. Food has to be eaten to determine the result! Other evil ways are evil ways!
The scene gradually became more regular. The food commentator who took Xu Da's money secretly looked at Xu Da, and then said to one of the food commentators: "Brother Zheng, don't you often make chili fish heads? You can comment on the quality of this chili fish head!"
In order to make people less suspicious, the food commentator who took Xu Da's money immediately pushed out another person.
The food commentator named didn't care much, anyway, everyone's comments were the same, so he smiled and said, "The dish of Chili Fish Head is within the scope of home-cooked dishes in Nanhu Province. It's very simple to make it, but if you really want to achieve your grades, it depends on your kung fu!"
"The plate of chili fish heads in front of us, the two-color chili peppers cover the entire fish head, the colors are bright, and it looks very appetizing! But for people who don't eat chili, this is a huge test! Haha."
The man joked, took the chopsticks to push the peppers covered by the fish head, picked up a piece of meat from the fish head, put them in his mouth, chewed them for a while, and said, "The fish meat is very tender, and it has a little spicy taste of the pepper. It blends with the pickled seasoning flavor, and I feel very good!"
"This dish has proven its skills!" The last sentence was very sure.
Chapter completed!
