Five gourmets gave Ye Chui five points. Just as Lin Li and Zhang Jiahui and others could not hide their surprise on their faces and thought they would win back the championship, Michelle then said: "This is a rating for Mr. Ye. Below is Mr. Zhang's rating. I think Mr. Zhang's dishes are very outstanding. If I were to eat them normally, I might give four points. But when I just ate Ye Chui's dishes and then ate Mr. Zhang's dishes, I would feel the difference, so... I give three points."

"I have the same feeling. I can feel that Mr. Zhang's dish should have pork in it and cut the pork into grains. However, these meats did not play any role. Since the focus of this dish is eggplant, I think I should taste the aroma of pork when I eat eggplant, but your eggplant does not have this flavor, which makes the pork look a little redundant." Hannah continued.

"I agree with Hannah and Michelle," Chris nodded and said, "So, I can only give two points to this dish."

Hanna nodded: "It still has something to do...so I give it three points."

The next person to speak was Tony: "You are right. If you didn't eat it with Mr. Ye's dish, I might have given a higher score, but I just ate Mr. Ye's dish and tasted this dish, I could immediately feel the strong gap, so... I'll give two points."

"One point." Sid then said that he did not introduce it extra, and the comments from the first four judges already represent a lot.

Chen Tian, ​​Jiang Yuemei, Shen Zhongda and others all showed happy expressions. They were Ye Chui's supporters and were originally among the seven major hotels in Chinatown. They also had some souvenirs for this cooking competition. But seeing Lin Li's shameless behavior before, Ye Chui's salted fish and eggplant pot now won a great victory, and they felt that they were very pleased.

Mrs. Gao, Huang Yiyuan and others looked very bad.

Nick Cheung's whole body became stiff. The expression on her face seemed to have completely lost her soul, and she looked like she could not believe it.

Robert smiled and said, "Then, Ye Chui's dishes received a full five-point review, and Mr. Zhang's dishes... don't need to be collected in detail. The first dish in this cooking competition was naturally Mr. Ye won."

"Wait a minute..." Lin Li shouted unwillingly.

Robert looked at Lin Li with some displeasure: "Mr. Lin, are you not satisfied with this result? Do you want to question the fairness and fairness of these five foodies?"

"No, no..." Lin Li hurriedly denied, but he said immediately, "I just... just... just... Mr. Ye's dish uses a unique ingredient. This makes his dish popular among gourmets. But when we decided on the rules of cooking competition before, we had already said it clearly that the ingredients used in this cooking competition were eggplant and mutton. Ye Chu, the dish, is not a dish with the main ingredients of eggplant, so... his dish is not qualified to compete!"

Lin Li stuttered at first, but the more he talked, the more confident he became. The highlight of Ye Chu was the salted fish. Just now, the five gourmets praised the salted fish in this dish, and they were competing with eggplant, so Ye Chu was not qualified to use this dish to participate in the competition.

When everyone heard Lin Li's words, they were a little silent. Lin Li's words sounded a bit unreasonable, but... but it made sense, so others looked at Ye Chui one after another. They wanted to know what Ye Chui said.

Ye Chui smiled.

"Salted fish is just an ingredient, with only a small amount. The focus of this dish is eggplant." Ye Chui continued with a calm smile. "Didn't pork be added to this dish of Master Zhang?"

Tang Shanshan hurriedly translated Ye Chui's words to five gourmets.

(ps: There was a mistake in the previous chapter. Han Yuyan was staying in the kitchen, so it should be Tang Shanshan who helped Ye Chui translate English... Sorry.)

"But Miss Hannah has just said that the pork in Master Zhang's dish is unnecessary and the taste is not reflected in detail, so Mr. Zhang's pork should not count." Lin Li said hurriedly.

Ye Chui looked at Lin Li with a competition: "If you put it, it will be put, it will not count? Do you think this is a child playing house, and the taste of pork is not reflected... This can only show that there is something wrong with Master Zhang's cooking skills. Or what I said before, your eggplant pot with a size of 40 years old has a problem with the method of making it!"

Nick Cheung was originally looking lonely, but when he heard Ye Chui accusing him of cooking problems, he inevitably became angry. He is an eight-star chef and looks at the world with famous chefs. Now he is criticized by Ye Chui like this. If anyone now has reason to feel angry!

He looked at Ye Chui coldly: "Then I want to ask Ye Chui, why is there any problem with my cooking skills?"

Ye Chui walked to the dining table and looked at the dish of Nick Cheung. He had never tasted the Lin family eggplant pot, but he had already understood a lot through the comments from several gourmets and the quality of the dish. So he continued: "There is a problem with your eggplant. Although my salted fish eggplant pot has more salted fish, the salted fish is only used for seasoning. If I also change it to pork, then my eggplant will still have a strong pork aroma after it is cooked."

Tang Shanshan hurriedly translated these words.

Michelle was very interested and asked: "Mr. Ye, why is this? Oh, if this belongs to the ranks of confidential recipes, you can refuse to answer."

"No, this is just a little common sense to cook." Ye Chui said with a faint smile. His little common sense made Lin Li, Zhang Jiahui and others look even more ugly... Ye Chui continued, "The texture of eggplant makes it easy to absorb the taste of other ingredients. Chinese cuisine has discovered this feature a long time ago, and therefore has developed many delicacies, such as the court eggplant croaker in the Manchu and Han banquet, which is one of them. Lin Family Eggplant Pot

This dish appeared in the era when meat was poisonous. At that time, there were no meat ingredients to cook. The characteristic of this dish was the pot. The flavor of the seasoning was easy to taste in the casserole. However, after the ban on meat was lifted, I think Mr. Zhang improved the recipe and added pork, but he obviously continued the original method of cooking eggplant. Although the addition of pork improved the taste of this dish, it could not make the pork aroma incorporate into eggplant. This is a big failure!”

Zhang Jiahui actually knew the problem that Ye Chui mentioned. Adding pork to the eggplant pot makes the taste of this dish more delicious, but the pork cannot be tasted. His method of improving is to cut the pork into grains. When diners pick up the eggplant, the pork pellets will naturally taste the aroma of pork at all times. However, this concise method obviously cannot impress the five gourmets.

Nick Cheung said to Ye Chui with some anger, "I have made many attempts. The taste of pork cannot be integrated into eggplant at all. This is probably determined by the characteristics of pork. Even if Mr. Ye, you are here to make this dish, I'm afraid it's the same."

"It's not that difficult to make the pork taste good. In fact, this is really just common sense." Ye Chui said with a faint smile. "If I'm not wrong, the most important thing about cooking the Lin family eggplant is that the eggplant is steamed and cooked before cooking to make the texture of the eggplant soften, right?"

Lin Li and Nick Cheung changed color one after another. This is indeed the most important secret recipe for eggplant pot. Unexpectedly, Ye Chui said it outright.

Ye Chui continued, "This method was originally a big mistake. Steaming eggplant will absorb moisture, destroying the spongy texture of the eggplant's original artifact, and it will be difficult to absorb other flavors. This is also the main reason why Master Zhang's eggplant pot adds pork but cannot make the pork taste good. It is actually very simple to solve this problem. Do not steam and cook the eggplant before cooking, but stir-fry it to allow the eggplant to absorb oil, so that it can absorb excess flavor."

A dazed expression appeared on Nick Cheung's face. He seemed to suddenly think of something, and couldn't wait to rush into the kitchen. It seemed that he was going to experiment.

Lin Li's face looked even more ugly. He lost in the first competition, and he lost so ugly. However, a light suddenly flashed in his heart: It seems that Ye Chui really knows this eggplant pot, and the eggplant pot made with his method will definitely be very delicious...

Even if he lost today's competition, his Lin family won better eggplant recipes, which would not be considered a big loss.

As a hotel owner, the interests are great, and Chinatown cuisine is independent, Lin Li himself does not care. What he cares about is the interests behind it.

But Lin Li's idea just came out in his heart. Before he could be happy, he just heard Ye Chui continue saying: "Boss Lin, although the method of making eggplant cooking is only a small change, you should know how valuable this change is. Five gourmets are here, so, I think Boss Lin, you won't use it rashly, right?"

"..." Lin Li's face suddenly became even more ugly.

"Of course." Ye Chui laughed leisurely again, "I don't really value this little common sense. If you are willing to give up easily, it's not a big deal to tell you..."

Lin Li showed a look of hesitation on his face.

"Lin Li!" Mrs. Gao suddenly shouted in anger.

Lin Li then woke up and snorted coldly: "Master Ye, this game has only been halfway through, and the mutton pot cooked by my Lin family may not lose to you."

"hehe."

Ye Chui smiled faintly, but stopped talking.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Lin Li's face and walked back to Mrs. Gao and Huang Yiyuan. He was now moved by the little common sense of Ye Chui... The way of cooking, even a little common sense, will have a huge impact on the taste of food.

The value is even more immeasurable. (To be continued...)
