Chapter 52: Theme of the Rating Competition
"The voting begins."
Upon hearing these four words, Tang Xie's back straightened up a bit in an instant.
Expectation appeared on his face.
For the past two days, countless scenes of him and his food spirit working hard to practice this carving of a dragon and painting of a phoenix were flashing through his mind.
Tang Xie's ability to maintain a very high winning rate in the past dozens of eating battles has something to do with the magic weapons and tips he has summed up, but more importantly, he attaches great importance to every eating battle and will fight in the eating battles. A lot of preparation work goes into it beforehand.
Not to mention, the target of this fight was a little-known new Yuling chef who had overwhelmed him in the Zhenniu Restaurant.
In order to win back a victory, Tang Xie worked harder than before.
And this carved dragon and painted phoenix is his answer!
He, Tang Xie, is still a victorious general in the fight!
In this food fight, victory must belong to him!
"I vote for Qin Lang."
A voice came at this moment, like a basin of cold water poured on Tang Xie's head.
Tang Xie's expression froze and he couldn't help but look at the judge who spoke.
He had a vague impression that this judge's surname was Zhang, and he had participated in several eating competition reviews before.
Judge Zhang...gave the vote to Qin Lang?
Why?
Judge Zhang noticed Tang Xie's blank expression, but did not explain.
The carved dragons and painted phoenixes were not to his taste, and he was not satisfied with the food. How could there be so many reasons?
When he received no response, Tang Xie quickly collected his emotions and looked expectantly at Judge Li, who was sitting next to Judge Zhang.
Among the five judges present, this one was the one he was most familiar with.
In a private encounter, Judge Li even said with a smile that he was very optimistic about himself.
His vote should be...
"I also vote for Qin Lang."
Judge Li's familiar voice was like another bucket of cold water poured on Tang Xie's head.
Tang Xie was a little confused.
Qin Lang got the second vote...
Even Judge Li, who is most familiar with him and thinks highly of him, voted for Qin Lang? !
"I also vote for Qin Lang."
Skipping Huang Shu, who was the main judge and made the final vote, Judge Qi on the other side spoke calmly.
Three votes…
The final outcome of this eating battle has already been decided.
"I…"
Judge Zhou on the other side showed some hesitation on his face.
Tang Xie's carving of dragons and painted phoenixes is no less exquisite than crab-stuffed oranges, or even more so.
The lifelike dragon and phoenix made him feel quite eye-opening.
Although Qin Lang's dishes taste better, in Zhou Jingjing's mind, the two are evenly matched.
Looking at the three judges who had already voted, Judge Zhou knew that his vote was no longer important.
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
Consider it a consolation vote.
"I vote for Tang Xie."
However, Tang Xie was not comforted.
There was only one thought in his mind at the moment.
What kind of dish did Qin Lang cook? !
"For the last vote, I vote for Qin Lang." Huang Shu said calmly, "The voting is over. Now, please exchange dishes for both sides to taste. After tasting, you can raise any objections."
Not caring about the ownership of the last vote, Tang Xie turned his attention to Qin Lang in an instant after hearing this.
In other words, it was the dish that turned to Qin Lang's hand.
"Crab stuffed orange, please have a taste." Qin Lang said calmly and handed the plate in his hand to Tang Xie.
"Dragon and Phoenix, please taste it." Tang Xie took a deep breath, took out the portion he was going to give to Qin Lang from his kitchen cabinet cart, and exchanged it with him.
The mutual tasting between the two sides of the food bucket begins at this moment.
Qin Lang took the dish called Carving Dragons and Painting Phoenixes from Tang Xie's hands with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
When he saw it from a distance, he realized that Tang Xie's dish had a good shape. Now when he saw it up close, even he was amazed.
Carved dragons and painted phoenixes are a soup dish.
In the clear and impurity-free soup, there crawls a green dragon carved entirely from cucumbers. Its fineness even reveals the texture of each scale, making it lifelike, just like an underwater dragon.
On the surface of the soup, a phoenix is painted. The phoenix is rich in layers and as lifelike as an ink painting. It spreads its wings and interacts with the blue dragon in the soup, as if greeting each other.
On Earth, among the coffee techniques is a technique called latte art, which can form patterns on the surface of coffee.
As early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, the East had a tea ceremony technique that was more exquisite than coffee latte art, called Cha Baixi.
Different from coffee latte art, tea latte art is more suitable for expressing traditional style landscape, flower and bird patterns.
What was displayed in front of Qin Lang at this moment was a technique that originated from the world of food spirits and was similar to Cha Baixi.
Interesting technique.
Qin Lang picked up the spoon curiously, took a spoonful of soup and put it into his mouth.
The next moment his expression became a little strange.
This dish…
Perhaps due to technical requirements, the soup of Diaolonghuafeng is very thick.
And this thick soup doesn't have many highlights in taste.
So this dish has a very high appearance, but the taste is very ordinary.
It's not even as good as the beef and fruit buns cooked by Tang Xie before.
Qin Lang silently put down the carved dragon and painted phoenix.
Just take a look at this dish.
On the other side, Tang Xie has also tasted Qin Lang's crab-stuffed orange.
As he ate, the confusion in his heart gradually dissipated.
This dish also fits the theme of "exquisite", but it is much better than my own.
It is not unfair to lose to such a dish.
Before the cooking competition started, it was really…
Tang Xie felt a little helpless, but mostly full of fighting spirit.
We have lost twice, but there should still be a chance to compete in the cooking competition.
Next time, I won’t lose again!
"Do both parties have any objection to the outcome of the fight?" Huang Shu asked again.
"No." Tang Xie shook his head without hesitation.
On the other side, Qin Lang also expressed that he had no objection.
"Both parties in the eating fight have no objection to the voting results. I declare the winner of this eating fight to be Qin Lang!"
As Huang Shu's voice fell, a ball of light gathered in the sky, split into two and flew towards Qin Lang and Tang Xie respectively.
Dan Bao cheered and rushed forward to receive the star power that belonged to him.
Qin Lang's and Tang Xie's cell phones happened to ring at the same time.
Qin Lang picked up his phone and took a look and found that it was a new email.
The person who sent this email was the organizer of the cooking competition of the Yuling Chef Association.
The content of the email is to inform the Yu Ling Chef who signed up to participate in the cooking competition of the theme of the first round of scoring competition in two days.
The theme of the first round of scoring competition is vegetarian dishes.
"You and I should have received the same email." Tang Xie, who was not far away, took the initiative and looked at Qin Lang with an invitation to challenge, "How about another competition in the rating competition two days later?"
"Vegetarian dishes, I'm good at them."
Qin Lang looked at the email again and smiled slightly.
Vegetarian food?…
As luck would have it, I'm pretty good at it too.
"good."
