"Four points. Three points. Three points. Four points. Two points."
When everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard the five gourmets give the scores in turn, they couldn't help but be stunned. After a long time, they realized that the five gourmets reacted very enthusiastically after smelling Zhang's eggplant. Especially the two gourmets, Chris and Tony, they shouted out in surprise, looking extremely surprised by this dish, and then... they gave Zhang Jiahui a low score that he couldn't bear to look at.
Dark Silence!
At this time, let alone Lin Li and others, even Chen Tian subconsciously passed by this year in his heart.
Han Yuyan looked even more anxious and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Are these foreigners' heads funny? Even if they want shady scenes, don't make them so obvious...
Nick Cheung came to his senses, his lips trembled, and he shouted in English with anger and doubt: "It's too obvious for you to do this. God is here, and I have absolutely no reason to question the fairness of your judges now!"
"You question us?" Among the five foodies, Chris was obviously the hottest one. He looked at Zhang Jiahui coldly, "Mr. Zhang, what do you want to question us?"
"You are cheating, you can clearly see from your reaction just now that you think my talent tastes better, but you gave me a low score!" Nick Cheung shouted in a piss.
Lin Li also hurriedly stood up: "Everyone saw the scene just now. After Mr. Chris smelled Master Zhang's dish, Gao Sheng exclaimed that it was wonderful. Tony also praised the ingenious work. This was obviously a higher evaluation than Mr. Ye's dish, but is there a problem with the ratings of the five judges?"
"I think this game is unfair!" Huang Yiyuan also said hurriedly, and he looked at Robert again. "Mr. Robert, what do you think?"
Robert looked at Huang Yiyuan mockingly, but did not say anything, but looked at Ye Chui.
The five foodies were brought by Robert. They would cheat. Robert knew the most. However, their exclamation just now... must be a special reason. Robert believed that Ye Chui would understand what this was for.
Of course Ye Chui knew what was going on.
So Ye Chui smiled and said... Then he suddenly thought that he was not good at English, so he turned to Han Yuyan and instructed: "High rain, please help me translate first..." Then he smiled and said to the foodies, "Is there such a clever and skillful work. Is it my dish, not Master Zhang's dish? Is that true?"
Nick Cheung and others were stunned.
Han Yuyan translated these words.
Michelle nodded with a smile.
Chris even glared at Nick Cheung and continued to say to Ye Chui: "That's right, when I smelled the taste of your dish before, I just felt that the fragrance of fish and the smell of eggplant blended together, but I don't know how you did it, Mr. Ye. It was not until I smelled Mr. Zhang's dish again that I suddenly understood the essence of this dish, so I shouted wonderful."
"I was always wondering in my heart before. Eggplant is an Asian ingredient, but there are many dishes developed in the United States over the years. But I have never thought that eggplant has such characteristics, so I am very skilled." Tony also said immediately, his face full of admiration, and he gave a thumbs up. "It seems that my view on Chinese cuisine has changed!"
The matter was clear. The reason why Chris and Tony gave Zhang a low score after praising him was not because of some shady thoughts, but because their praise was originally given to Ye Chui...
Previously, Chris, Tony, and Sid gave scores very plainly after smelling Ye Chui's dishes, and didn't say much, with a puzzled look on their faces because they didn't know how the aroma of Ye Chui came from. But Nick Cheung's dishes perfectly gave them a contrasting effect, which made them instantly understand the exquisiteness of Ye Chui's dishes, and they couldn't help but praise them.
Of course... by the way, he gave Nick Cheung a terrible low score.
Ye Chui smiled and looked at Lin Li, who was already stunned: "Boss Lin, am I going to say thank you to you?"
Lin Li: "…"
He proposed that the five gourmets tasted two dishes together. If the two dishes were staggered, maybe Christony Sheed would not have the feeling of sudden enlightenment, nor would it make a strong contrast between Nick Cheung's dishes and Ye Chu's dishes. This comparison, the score that might have been good would be immediately lowered...
At this time, Lin Li had an idiom in his mind, and he was backfiring!
At this time, Michelle smiled and asked Ye Chui, "I feel that there is not only a strange but very delicious fish fragrance in your dish, but more importantly, it can make the taste of eggplant and the fragrance of fish merge together. I really want to know how this is done?"
"The texture of eggplant is soft, like a sponge. This is the characteristic of this ingredient and can accommodate other flavors." Ye Chui explained with a smile.
Han Yuyan hurriedly translated Ye Chui's words into English. At the same time, she also thought of the palace eggplant that Ye Chui once made for Lin Wei's mother Wu Haimei. It used the characteristics of eggplant, which in turn gave the dish a variety of flavors. This salted fish eggplant pot also used the characteristics of eggplant.
But Chris still didn't understand. He pointed to Nick Cheung's dishes: "Since that's the case, why does Mr. Zhang's dish seem to have no such characteristics of integrating various fragrances?"
"Haha." Ye Chui glanced at Zhang Jiahui and said with a smile, "This is because Master Zhang's dish is wrong."
As soon as this was said, let alone Chris and other foodies, Lin Li and Nick Cheung were not happy first, with an extremely angry expression on their faces. The Lin Family Eggplant Cooker in the Lin Family Pot Restaurant is at least a time-honored brand with a history of at least 40 years. The method is in line with each other. Ye Chui actually said that they had used 400,000 years to make it wrong?
"Mr. Ye, I want to ask you how to make the eggplant cooker in our Lin family wrong!" Lin Liqing couldn't help but question.
Ye Chui did not answer, but looked at the five gourmets: "Let's ask the five judges to conduct the second procedure first and taste the taste of these two dishes."
Han Yuyan translated Ye Chui's words.
The five gourmets looked at each other, then picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the two dishes on the table. After this incident, they have become very interested in both eggplant pots.
But a small detail at this time made the expressions of Zhang Jiahui and Lin Li and others look even more ugly. Five gourmets were rushing to go to the eggplant cooker made by Jieye.
Obviously, they have a greater interest in the sagging vegetables...
Michelle was very skilled in using chopsticks, and the other four were a little unfamiliar. Even the gourmet named Sid couldn't pinch the two chopsticks in his hands, but in the end he successfully added a bite of eggplant to his mouth.
The eggplant is cut into strips, with a soft texture, but it has another kind of toughness that can be easily put into the mouth, while maintaining the taste of melting in the mouth. This has obviously reached the peak of the temperature.
"This is the fish fragrance in the taste. What kind of fish is this? I have never seen this kind of fish?" At this time, Hannah picked up a piece of fish from the casserole. The fish meat was full of colors and slightly hard, but the hardness was of a soft type. In addition to the strong fish fragrance, there was another strange smell full of texture.
This taste is not annoying, and it seems to complement this dish.
"The taste of this fish is unique, a bit like cod, but I have never eaten cod." Michelle also asked at this time.
"This is cod, and after my treatment, it became dried salted fish." Ye Chui said with a smile.
Dried salted fish is a technique for preserving fish. Any fish can be processed with salted fish. However, the best salted fish are generally better for making carp, flounder, etc., and these fish cannot be found here in Chinatown, so cod is chosen for leaf cherry.
"It turned out to be cod?" When Han Yuyan translated Ye Chui's words to five gourmets, they were all a little surprised. You know, high-level gourmets should have a great understanding of the taste of various ingredients, but they did not recognize that the taste of this fish was actually cod, which made them very interested in the processing method of Ye Chui's salted fish.
But I think this should be the other party's secret, so they can't ask directly...
Seeing that the foodies became so interested in Ye Chui’s dish, Lin Li, Nick Cheung and others’ expressions became even more subtle.
"Why do you know what the five of this dish tastes?" Ye Chui continued to ask with a smile.
Han Yuyan translated Ye Chui's words.
The five judges laughed, and Michelle was about to speak when Nick Cheung suddenly spoke in English: "Please give me a score after you taste my dish."
He still maintains some confidence, and the taste may not be as good as Ye Chui... but the taste will definitely not be bad. After all, he has been a time-honored brand for more than 40 years. After letting them taste their own dishes, make a comparison and then give Ye Chui a score, so that they can definitely get back the lost face just now!
The five gourmets looked at each other, and then tasted Nick Cheung's dishes one by one.
After tasting it, Michelle thought for a moment and nodded: "Five points."
"Five points." Hannah continued.
"Five points."
"Five points."
"I'm five points too."
The remaining three people also continued.
Zhang Guy Lin Li and others couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.
Then……
They heard Michelle say immediately: "This is the rating for Mr. Ye, below is Mr. Zhang's rating..." (To be continued)
