Ji Yin was very confident of her dishes. They were all high-end ingredients. Honey-flavored abalone, scallion oil sea cucumber, shark fin chicken soup, shredded meat with cordyceps, and tuna sashimi.
The staff laid out her dishes and the five judges began to taste them.
She smiled and winked at three of them. The three of them looked at her for a second and continued to look at the dishes. It was obvious that the three of them had eaten a few more mouthfuls than the other two judges. They used their actions to indirectly tell the audience that they thought well of Ji Yin’s dishes!
“Hehe, pretentious!” An older middle-aged man whispered and scoffed at their flattery. Previously, Ji Yin had sent people to look for them and tried to bribe them, but they rejected her sternly. He did not expect there to be these three spineless people.
“Old Man Xu, let’s talk about the matter as it stands. Ji Yin’s culinary skills are not bad. It all depends on the other contestant.” Another middle-aged man persuaded.
The person called Old Man Xu didn’t say anything else.
The audience at the venue were drooling just observing them. The aroma at the venue was heavenly. They did not know which dish it was from, but when they saw the judges eating, they salivated in silence. The “live” location was most unbearable. The audience could only observe but not eat!
After Ji Yin’s dishes were tasted, they were moved to the side. Following that, Li An’an’s dishes were served. The judges first looked at the aesthetics of the dishes before starting to taste them.
Old Man Xu first took a bite of the stir-fried cabbage. It tasted good and refreshing. The food just then was too full-flavored. What was wrong with Ji Yin? Was she out to drown everyone in flavoring? The base ingredient for all the dishes had been chicken soup. It was fragrant and mellow at first, but after a while, he got sick of it!
It was a good time to have some cabbage for a change.
After that, he ate the ham and stir-fried bamboo shoots. He felt the burst of fragrance in his mouth overflowing and lingering afterwards.
The preparation of the hairy crab was simple, but the sauce brought out the uniqueness of the taste! It was quite delicious!
Although the duck meat had been braised, it maintained its texture and a hint of the fragrance of ham.contemporary romance
What amazed him the most was the taro soup. He couldn’t taste the taro at all. It was so delicious that he would readily swallow his own tongue! “What’s in it?” he asked.
“Crab roe and other ingredients,” Li An’an explained, but she couldn’t reveal everything. This was a secret recipe.
Elder Xu’s eyes lit up. Upon closer inspection, there was indeed a faint yellow tint in the soup. No wonder the smell was so unique! He nodded silently and did not ask further.
The other three judges were also tasting the taro soup. They glanced at Li An’an in surprise. They were taken aback by her culinary skills. It was not an exaggeration to say that her dishes were top-notch. In comparison, Miss Ji was way behind!
To be able to create such flavors with simple ingredients only showed how astonishing her culinary skills were.
On the other hand, Miss Ji’s culinary standard was common!
Their hearts turned cold upon hearing this. It was a pity. After all, this was a real society. Sometimes, capable people could not win to the end. This was the rule!
Zhang Yingmeng said, “Alright, now that the judges have finished tasting, you may vote for your desired champion. The red button belongs to Miss Ji, and the blue button belongs to Ugly Mommy!”
She was also nervous. From the judges’ faces, she could tell that the two contestants were equally matched. Could Ugly Mommy end up winning?! She did not want to see that kind of situation at all!
“Miss Ji is beautiful and has good culinary skills. I believe the judges will give Miss Ji the fairest judgment.” Zhang Yingmeng smiled as she attempted to help Ji Yin canvas for votes.
Ji Yin gladly accepted her goodwill.
She sneered when she saw Ugly Mommy’s nervous expression. It was useless!
Three of the five judges had been bribed by her, and two of them were rigid. However, they might not necessarily stand on Li An’an’s side!
She was sure to win.. Actually, if not for the last-minute change, the five judges here would have been bribed by her!
