Eunuch Liu roughly pushed aside the plate of crispy bamboo shoots and fat sausage, and stretched his chopsticks towards the second signature dish, stir-fried mushrooms.
The two referees couldn't keep up with his rhythm, and each of them hurriedly picked up another piece of crispy bamboo shoots and fat sausage, chewing it in their mouths, and then went to pick up the second dish.
Damn, I need to pay more!
The second dish is also pushed aside and the third dish is eaten!
Damn, I need to pay more!
The fourth way...
Damn it, you have to pay more, pay more!
The fifth course, a bowl of soup with beautiful color and fragrant aroma, is filled with various precious ingredients cut into various shapes.
The ultimate specialty dish, a perfect tonic!
Eunuch Liu breathed a sigh of relief. He has been in charge of the imperial kitchen for many years and is definitely a gourmet. In his opinion, soup is mainly functional, that is, tonic.
But when it comes to taste, it’s definitely not as impactful as stir-frying. Therefore, this last dish may not be as threatening as the previous four dishes.
He glanced at the surface of the soup in confusion. On the clear brown soup water, there were evenly floating drops of oil, which were slowly spreading around.
But why is the oil red? Bright red, just like the yellow of salted duck eggs, no, no, even redder than that. It's like the sunset, no, no, it's redder than that. Just like a girl’s red lips and a budding rose!
At this time, those few drops of bright red and shiny oil were slowly spreading around, like a charming girl opening her red lips, like a budding flower slowly blooming, so beautiful.
What is this? Eunuch Liu looked at his two accomplices in surprise. Could it be poison? Crane top red? Hedinghong is not like this!
The two accomplices were not sure, but one thing they were sure of was that Zuixianlou would never be stupid enough to poison the God of Cookery Competition, not to mention that the three referees had no grievances against them...
Hmm, maybe Eunuch Liu had some grudge against them, but he would never take revenge in such a low-level way.
At this time, Eunuch Liu can of course choose not to drink and ask what seasonings Zuixianlou used. But if that happens, his face will be ruined.
The dignified eunuch in charge of the food department did not know the ingredients of the entries and was too frightened to speak. If word got out about this, how would he lose his face?
Among the crowd of onlookers, there must be people from Jinyiwei. If Lu Bing tells this matter to Long Live, Long Live will definitely question my professional ability!
But Eunuch Liu is a noble man after all. He winked at the referee on the left. The referee on the left understood what he was doing and picked up the spoon. With an impassioned and heroic face, he took a spoonful, including the soup and the bottom, and put it into his mouth. inside.
With a clatter, the spoon fell on the table, but the referee was completely unaware of it. He closed his eyes and savored the wonderful taste in his mouth. This was the first time he tasted two wonderful flavors mixed together.
What does this taste like? It's so fresh, but it doesn't cover up the aroma and mellowness of the raw materials; it's slightly spicy, but it's not the familiar kind of spiciness, but an inexplicable spicy taste.
The spiciness and umami are just right. Not only do they not cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves, but they stimulate each other, and the deliciousness feels like an explosion in your mouth.
Eunuch Liu was startled and thought he was really poisoned. After seeing the expression on his face clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him fiercely.
As for being so exaggerated, it’s something I’ve never seen in the world! If you do this, it will become even more difficult for me to blow the whistle!
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the judges, because the people who can eventually become the judges of the Beijing God of Cookery Competition are all top gourmets.
What they have been pursuing all their lives is the ultimate delicious food, so their taste buds are extremely sensitive and they will react more strongly to delicious food they have never been exposed to.
If it were an ordinary person who came into contact with MSG and chili oil for the first time, although it would be shocking, it might not reach this level. But for gourmets, this extremely wonderful new experience is like a virgin entering the bridal chamber. You can't control your excitement at all, and it will burst out in an instant.
While scolding his pig teammates, Eunuch Liu and another referee picked up a spoon and put it in their mouths. Then both of them burst out in an instant.
But thanks to the pig teammates in front of him, Eunuch Liu was already on guard, so he could barely control his gushing desire and put down the spoon pretending to be calm.
"Well, it's not bad, ah...oh...not bad."
The servant next to him saw that the three judges had finished tasting the dishes, so he came over according to the procedure, lifted the tray, and was about to send it down. Eunuch Liu was anxious and held down the tray.
The whole audience was stunned. What do you mean, we won’t be allowed to eat? No way, Eunuch Liu from the Shangshan Supervisory Department, he has never eaten anything, how can he be so stingy? How delicious does this thing have to be?
Countless thoughts flashed through Eunuch Liu's mind at that moment, including pretending to accidentally overturn the tray. But he failed to be "accidental" the first time, and it would be too false to pretend to be "accidental" again.
It's a pity that those two pig teammates are still enjoying themselves in the world, and they can only touch their faces and necks with their hands, which can't help at all.
Under the astonished eyes of everyone present, Eunuch Liu smiled awkwardly, retracted the hand holding the tray, and waved it weakly.
The trays were passing through the crowd. Ordinary people did not lose their composure like the referees, but screams and cheers came one after another. Even the people in Taibaiju were dejected and couldn't muster the energy to refute.
As a player, Shi Zhenxiang couldn't leave the field, so naturally he couldn't taste Zuixianlou's food. However, from the performance of the people off the field, especially his own people, he knew that the situation was extremely bad.
He gritted his teeth, pretended to yawn, and stretched out a hand towards Eunuch Liu, who had a decadent look in his eyes! I'll give you five thousand taels at a time, and I'll fight for it!
Eunuch Liu cheered up a little, responded to Shi Zhenxiang, pretended to be tickling, and firmly raised a finger!
Shi Zhenxiang was dumbfounded. The catering industry is not like the construction industry, which is fattened by meat and soup. A large project can easily cost tens of thousands of taels, or even tens of thousands of taels, so it is normal to pay a few thousand taels in benefits.
But the catering industry is an industry where small things add up. Although the profit margin is good, the overall scale is incomparable with that of the construction industry. Five thousand taels of silver is already the highest price ever paid in the God of Cookery Competition, and ten thousand taels of silver is simply beyond imagination!
But Eunuch Liu looked at him sternly, raised his chin to the crowd in the audience, and motioned for him to take a look at the situation. This is not the situation that happens every year. If someone is just a hair’s breadth away from you, I’ll give you a push and just give you two or three thousand taels.
In today's situation, I have to fight tooth and nail. How much do you need ten thousand taels of silver? Are all the shit in your mind? Did I ask you for an extra dime?
Under the strength of Eunuch Liu and the decline of the audience, Shi Zhenxiang compromised.
He knew that as long as he kept the God of Cookery and had the support of Eunuch Liu and Yan Shifan, it would not be difficult for him to earn back the money, not to mention that they had promised to make him an official in the future!
And if they lose, these backstage people will think that they are incompetent. Even if they continue to support themselves, will they still give their all? He had already offended Xiao Feng severely. Looking at Tan Xinren's fate, what good fruits could he reap?
And it is said that Xiao Feng is very interested in Liu Ruyun. In order to win this girl's favor, Xiao Feng will most likely kill himself as a gift! Why should men embarrass men?
Shi Zhenxiang nodded heavily, turned one hand into a finger, trembling and swaying in the wind.
Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath, just like a peerless master who was going to the top of Mount Hua to face the challenges in the world.
Let you be filled with righteous indignation, let your public opinion surge, even though tens of millions of people are gone! I am the referee, the whistle is in my mouth, and what I say is official certification. What can you do to me?
The crowd in the audience had reached a climax at this time, and there were not many dishes. Everyone wanted to have a taste, but when they finished tasting, the crowd behind them stopped, and some even started scolding and scuffling.
The Shuntian Prefecture police officers, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the Jinyi Guards sent out secret posts. They tried their best to suppress the fight. They were exhausted and still couldn't calm down.
At this moment, Zhang Tianci took out the note written by Xiao Feng from his waist and climbed up to a high ground with the help of his companions.
"Neighbors! Dear guests! Don't mess around! I am the boss of Zuixian Tower, please listen to me!"
With the help of the earth horn, Zhang Tianci attracted most people's attention. At this time, other teammates holding earth horns also shouted together.
"Listen to Boss Zhang, listen to Boss Zhang!"
People gradually stopped being confused and turned to look at Zhang Tianci who was standing on a high place holding a loudspeaker.
"These dishes in today's competition are all the signature dishes of my Zuixianlou! It doesn't matter if you didn't eat them today!
The interior of Zuixianlou is being renovated. The decoration will be completed in three days. The door of Zuixianlou will be opened and everyone is welcome to come and taste it! Free drinks for the first three days of opening! "
Liu Ruyun and Chen Zhonghou looked at each other, both a little surprised. It stands to reason that the Lantern Festival is the busiest time of the year, and the house is not being renovated. Why did Zhang Tianci close his business?
However, they knew in their hearts that Zhang Tianci would never make his own decisions, and this must be Xiao Feng's idea, so neither of them had any more questions. Xiao Feng was not wrong. Like Zhang Tianci, they gradually entered a happy thinking-free mode.
There was a lot of complaining among the crowd when they heard that the restaurant would not open that night. But when I heard that drinks were free for the first three days of opening, I couldn't help but feel happy. The agents and soldiers, who were panting from exhaustion, all looked at Zhang Tianci sadly: Why didn't you fart earlier?
Seeing the excitement and twists and turns in the audience, it was as if the entire crowd had already acquiesced that Zuixianlou was number one and Liu Ruyun was the God of Cookery. If you continue to indulge your emotions like this, the risks you will take will become greater and greater!
Eunuch Liu jumped up and waved his hand, signaling that he, as the referee, was about to speak!
The people in Taibaiju cheered up again. Knowing that the last Wang Zha was about to come out, they shouted desperately to ask everyone to quiet down and listen to the referee announce the result.
It's just that it's easy for the crowd to become lively, but there has to be a process for them to become quiet. Eunuch Liu smiled and looked at the crowd that was gradually quieting down below. He felt very sad and solemn in his heart. Yes, even though tens of millions of people have died, I will die!
I just want to rape the public opinion, and I want to declare Shi Zhenxiang to be the God of Cookery. You guys, you guys, will you bite me if you can? Do you think I'm afraid?
This was when his personal eunuch came up to him, handed him something, and whispered a few words to him.
"Eunuch Huang had someone bring this to you. He said he has been on good terms with you over the years and couldn't bear to see you jump into a pit."
Eunuch Liu took it and looked through it, still cheering himself up.
"Huang Jin is a nice person. If it were normal times, our family would definitely give him some face, but not today. Even if he was acquitted, it would be unreasonable..."
The crowd had completely calmed down, and they all looked at the referee panel on the high platform. The two referees had already decided on the third to tenth place, and were waiting for Eunuch Liu to announce the first and second place.
Eunuch Liu stood on the stage, his eyes dazzled by the noon sun and his body swayed slightly, but he still raised his voice and declared firmly.
"I announce that in the 29th year of Jiajing, there will be a competition for the God of Cookery in the capital. This year's God of Cookery will be - Liu Ruyun!"
