Is there something wrong with making food a beast?

Chapter 51 Carving Dragons and Painting Phoenixes
Different from Huang Shu's understanding of delicacy, the female judge surnamed Qi next to her has a different understanding of delicacy.

In the opinion of the female judge surnamed Qi, delicacy is an attitude.

Just like the afternoon tea she enjoys every day, like the cakes she carefully bakes and savors, like her small and unique necklaces, like the bright and moving makeup she makes herself look at this moment.

In other words, it could be called elegant.

When this crab-stuffed orange dish was placed in front of her, the delicacy of the dish made her lose her own delicacy.

The carved patterns on the surface of the orange urn, the orange of the orange urn and the white of the porcelain plate are interlaced under the light, the attractive color of crab powder flashes in the orange urn, and the crab roe, crab paste, crab meat and orange meat granules are clearly visible in the crab powder .

It was a surprise that made her index finger twitch just by looking at it.

Not to mention the strong and fresh unique fragrance that has already overflowed all around.

Without further ado, the female judge surnamed Qi picked up a small spoon on the side, dipped into the orange urn and dug out a spoonful. She tried her best to slow down and make herself more elegant, but she still seemed eager to put it into her mouth.

After thinking about it for a while, the female judge surnamed Qi suddenly widened her eyes.

Here it is again, this feeling again!

The familiar feeling when faced with the braised oxtail cooked by Qin Lang a few days ago, at this moment once again came to the mind of the judge surnamed Qi.

The indescribable taste made the judge surnamed Qi intoxicated for a while.

Exquisite...

It's so exquisite!

The next moment, the speed of tasting by the judge surnamed Qi suddenly accelerated.

But the nonsense judge Zhou sitting next to the judge surnamed Qi hadn't started yet.

He was still carefully observing the patterns carved on the outer wall of the orange urn.

In the end, Judge Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing these exquisite patterns is like seeing exquisite patterns.

In his eyes, delicacy naturally refers to the appearance of ingredients.

And the appearance of the food in front of him is enough to deserve the word "exquisite".

He was just about to taste the taste of this exquisite dish with such a strange fragrance, but he noticed the orange urn in the hands of the judge surnamed Qi from the corner of his eyes.

This pattern is...different?
He looked at the orange urns in the hands of several other judges again, and the surprise on his face became more and more intense.

At first glance, there is no such thing as an orange urn.

It's a pity that everyone is tasting at the moment, and it's not easy for him to snatch the orange urns from other judges for a closer look.

But invisibly, Qin Lang's rating for this dish in his heart has increased a bit.

Judging Zhou scooped up a spoonful of crab powder and put it in his mouth, and raised his brows slightly the next moment.

this smell...

Bonus points!

On the other side of the edge, at the farthest distance from Judging Zhou, sat the juror who had complained about his nonsense before, surnamed Zhang.

At this moment, the orange urn in the hands of Judge Zhang is almost bottomed out.

Among the five judges, he tasted the fastest.

For this reviewer Zhang, delicacy has the simplest and crudest definition.

What is sophistication?

Exquisite is good!
Delicious, satisfying to eat, exquisite!
Is this crab stuffed orange delicate?

If Judge Zhang was asked this question, he didn't even bother to answer it.

Don't ask, it's cooking!
Judging Li, who was sitting between Judging Zhang and Huang Shu, was also tasting this crab-stuffed orange.

After taking a deep sniff of the strange fragrance in the air, his face was a little more amazed.

His understanding of delicacy is more focused on taste.

What kind of dishes can be regarded as exquisite in taste?
In his opinion, at least not a dish full of spices and strong meat flavors.

The aroma of that kind of dishes is like a strong man rushing up to give you a bear hug, which is too enthusiastic and rough for Judgment Li to accept.

But not too bland.

Food pays attention to complete color, fragrance, and aroma, and "fragrance" is a very important part of it. Dishes that can hardly smell fragrance have no soul.

And the dish in front of him, called Stuffed Oranges with Crab, almost perfectly hit Judging Li's preference for the taste of dishes.

The taste of crab is fresh but not fishy. It has the thickness of crab roe and crab paste, and the freshness and sweetness of crab meat.

The orange taste is sweet and greasy, the sour taste is perfectly blended with rice vinegar.

When Judging Li put a mouthful of crab-stuffed orange into his mouth, all the senses seemed to be activated at this moment.

His eyes were filled with bright colors, but there was a bit of regret in the depths of his eyes.

Among the five judges, he had participated in Tang Xie's Shidou most of the judges, and he knew a lot about the recently famous Yu Ling Chef, and at the same time, he also admired it very much.

However, this time Tang Xie might have met the strongest opponent in Shidou's career.

Time passed by, and soon the five judges finished tasting Qin Lang's crab-stuffed orange.

But they didn't communicate with Qin Lang, nor did they reveal their thoughts on this dish.

Because the other imperial chef hadn't finished his cooking, any biased approach at this moment would violate their professionalism as Shidou judges.

And Qin Lang was also aware of this, so he took out a portion of crab-stuffed oranges from the kitchen cabinet for Danbao to enjoy, while he stood quietly in place, waiting for Tang Xie to finish his cooking.

"Ding--"

Ten minutes later, a notification sounded from the front of the stage.

The five judges and Qin Lang looked at the open door of the kitchen on the other side and Tang Xie who was slowly walking out with the kitchen cabinet trolley.

At this moment, the aroma of crab-stuffed oranges has spread throughout the food bucket venue, because the food bucket venue is spacious enough, and there is not much residual smell.

Tang Xie sniffed it indiscriminately. Although he smelled something, it was not too real.

A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm.

Calmly walking to the judging stand, Tang Xie took out the dishes from the kitchen cabinet and sent them to the five judges respectively, and then returned to his seat, showing a decent smile and speaking in a straight voice.

"Five respected judges, this is the dish I cook, carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes."

"The cooking process of this dish is quite complicated, first you need..."

Like an accompanist, he told the whole process of cooking this dish while the five judges tasted the carved dragon and painted phoenix, which ended just as the last judge finished tasting.

Tang Xie ended with a polite smile, and turned his gaze to Qin Lang who was staring aside.

Never seen it?

This is the magic weapon of Shidou that he summed up dozens of times.

Although the dishes were finished later, with the narration just now, the impression of his dishes in the judges' minds must not be much worse than Qin Lang's.

However, Tang Xie didn't notice at all that there seemed to be something wrong with the expressions of the five judges in the field.

He tried his best to impress the judges with his dishes, but this magic weapon, which has always been successful in the past, did not seem to have the desired effect this time.

"The dishes of both parties are finished."

Huang Shu hid all her emotions and spoke calmly.

"Voting begins."
