"I chose sweet oranges and lake crabs for this crab." Li Shenghui pointed to one of the sweet oranges. "This sweet orange is very good in shape, and the taste is mainly sweet and sour, and it is not just sweet."

"Usually, fruit acid can stimulate appetite more." Wu Wei interrupted.

"That's right." Li Shenghui nodded with a smile, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and the white hair on his temples made him look a little more dusk-like, which he shouldn't have when he was forty. "As for the lake crab, I think everyone here should understand that its meat is more tender than the sea crab and tastes more delicious. It is very suitable for this crab-stewed orange.

Other ingredients are not very complicated, including white chrysanthemum, rice vinegar, minced ginger, sugar, sesame oil, etc. By the way, there is also Xiangxue wine. This wine is light yellow, clear and transparent, fragrant and elegant, with mellow and sweet taste. The key is that it has no odor and can enhance freshness during cooking, which complements the whole."

"Master Li..." Wang Xiaomei blinked her eyes and whispered, implying that the former does not need to be said too carefully to avoid the leakage of the formula.

"It's okay, this is a dish created by my predecessors. I am just a porter on the road of food. If anyone can learn it, it will be a blessing for future generations." Li Shenghui shook his head and said softly.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly felt awe-inspiring and was moved by Li Shenghui's broad mind. It seemed that he was no longer a competitor in this game, but a sowinger in the food world.

"Support you, Master Li!" someone couldn't help but shout.

Li Shenghui smiled and waved his hand and continued, "The treatment of sweet oranges is a bit troublesome. You have to stab it into a zigzag shape with a triangle knife. One is beautiful, but it is anti-slip. After opening the top cover, take out the orange meat and juice for later use, and the orange shell is also available. Then steam the lake crab and pick out the crab meat.

Put sesame oil in the pot, stir-fry the minced ginger until fragrant, add crab meat and stir-fry for a minute, then pour in the previous orange meat and orange juice, add fragrant snow wine, rice vinegar, and white sugar to stir-fry, then pour a small amount of sesame oil out of the pot, then put it in the orange shell and cover it, put it neatly on the plate, and steam it with white chrysanthemum, fragrant snow wine, and rice vinegar over high heat. However, before steaming, you need to seal the plate with cellophane to prevent excessive air and water from penetrated."

After the words came to a quiet moment again.

"He really said it all in a simplified manner?" Fatty Li murmured in disbelief.

"Saying is one thing, doing is another." Chen Chong sighed, "Even if you know the cooking method and without the accumulated practice, it is difficult to perfectly present this dish. Knife skills, heat, and proportions are all knowledge."

"In my opinion, his hand "sakura knife" alone is an insurmountable obstacle." Although Qiu Tong is the owner of a fruit shop, he has his own understanding of the cooking skills.

"After that being said, Boss Chen, do you know how to 'shoulder'?" Zhou Charlie asked curiously.

As soon as this statement came out, Fatty Li and others became interested.

"You know only a little bit of it." Chen Chong gave a vague answer. He had a complete set of sword skills in his mind, but he didn't practice it.

…

Bang...

I don’t know who took the lead in clapping, and then more people joined in. In the end, the entire venue heard thunderous applause.

This is a kind of applause that conveys respect.

The ten judges silently picked up the crab oranges in front of them and tasted them. No one spoke, but just ate them quietly, eating them very seriously and satisfied.

It was not until everyone finished eating and had only one empty shell left that Yang Xiaoling stood up and made a call to Li Shenghui.

"Thank you." Li Shenghui hugged his fists and followed the staff to leave the field.

No one questioned, because everyone understood that the crab orange was perfectly advanced.

"Please invite the next contestant to enter the venue." Wu Wei signaled to the host.

"Okay." Liu Hua in the commentary seat quickly responded, not letting the atmosphere be disgusted. "The next player is Liu Yuan from the Delicious Plaza, Master Liu. However, the dish he brought may make many foodies drool! Master Liu is invited to bring his signature dish, braised crayfish!"

Wow.

"Crayfish braised with oil? I'll go, I'll get 10 points just for this name!"

"Go and go, you are not a judge, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh my God, I'm really drooling! It's like the feeling I was so spicy last week, slap."

"So too, every time I smell that spicy smell, I'm not under control!"

"The spicyer the more you feel, the more you feel, the more you feel."

"Damn, this guy has made such a big pot?"

…

Listening to the sound of various cheers and the accumulation of little things coming and swallowing, Liu Yuan instantly felt that his life had reached its peak. He immediately looked back at Zhao Si who was about to appear, with pride and unscathing in his eyes.

The so-called glasses of the masses are so bright, so is it destined that they can advance to the current level?

Liu Yuan withdrew his gaze and quickly placed a large pot of braised crayfish in the eyes of everyone and placed it on the long table in front of the judges.

"Hehe, please taste it slowly, everyone."

After he said politely, he stepped aside and stood there so as not to block the shot of the dishes.

The audience around them were still shouting, and the decibels that were usually irritating, formed a wonderful symphony in Liu Yuan's mind at this time, and he was the only dancer in the ocean of music, spinning, jumping, closing his eyes, everything was so beautiful.

"When Luo Feng appeared, were the audience so enthusiastic? When the young man Wang Xing appeared, was the audience cheering because of the dishes? And which ancient road fishing palace, bamboo forest tea garden, has its current momentum?"

No!

None!

He is the first person to mobilize the audience's taste buds until the beginning of the competition.

"Brother Yuan's cowhide!"

In the audience, everyone was so excited that they were extremely excited in the delicious square represented by Xu Xin, especially Xu Xin, who spared no effort to shout, fearing that the other party would not feel their fanaticism!

If Liu Yuan rises up, then with his usual spirit of respect for the former and willing to be the pioneer in everything, he will definitely be the first to receive the support of Liu Yuan. At that time, he will also enjoy the magnificent scenery full of diners!

As soon as he thought of this, the cloud that had previously enveloped Xu Xin's head instantly dissipated, and his chin couldn't help but rise.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the food street not far from him and the latter looked over at the right time.

Xu Xin showed a sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, as if he was saying that our delicious square had advanced to the second round, so what about you?

Unfortunately, he did not gain the imagined regret and dodging look in the eyes of those people. Instead, the young man with dark skin raised his hands and slowly bent forward.

Others may not understand this move, but Xu Xin understood it! It was clearly a starting move of the handstand! It implies that he should not forget his promise of diarrhea in the handstand.

"Hmph, wait. When you don't even have the qualifications to advance, let's see how I humiliate you." He snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze, too lazy to make things worse for him.

…

Next to the review seat.

After the initial joy, Liu Yuan gradually noticed a strange atmosphere, because no one picked up chopsticks to try it out except for discussing and whispering to each other.

Why is this? Is there something wrong with this dish of braised crayfish?

It makes no sense. He tasted it himself before serving, and it was no different from what he usually cooked. Even because the various ingredients provided by the organizer are top-quality, theoretically, the taste will only be better.

Fortunately, this torment did not last long. When the first judge picked up the chopsticks and reached into the large basin, the other judges also moved.

Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the smile on the corner of his mouth stopped abruptly before it expanded.

I saw that the ten judges put their chopsticks into the iron basin and did not pick up the crayfish. Instead, they dipped the tip of the chopsticks and put the soup ingredients at the bottom of the basin into their mouths to taste them carefully.

Why is this?

Liu Yuan felt uncomfortable. After all, such a large pot of crayfish was prepared for the judges, but the result was that no one else had eaten.

But then I thought about it and it was right. Braised crayfish tasted like a piece of food, and the main taste was all in the soup ingredients.

"Thank you for your hard work, please go and rest." Han Zhifeng suddenly made an invitation.

"Ah?" Liu Yuan thought he had heard it wrong, and was full of disbelief. What about the comments he had made?

"Is it because I was not doing well?" He asked afterwards.

"Uh...is not bad, go to the backcourt to wait for the final result." Han Zhifeng said with a smile.

Wait for the result...

Liu Yuan suddenly realized something and smiled unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

Not bad...wait for the result? Isn't this equivalent to announcing that I've advanced?

Just imagine, if the contestant has no chance at all, then the judges say these words? Obviously it is impossible! And the champion of the previous session was the same as himself? The judges did not comment after trying it!

Why not comment, because it is impeccable!

Hahaha..

Liu Yuan smiled in his heart, felt his blood boiling in his body. After saying thank you to the ten judges, he quickly followed the staff to leave the venue.

"Old Han, you just said nothing." Seeing Liu Yuan leave, Liu Xiaoling whispered.

"Ah? Is there any?" Han Zhifeng looked confused.

"You told him to wait for the result, which is equivalent to misleading him." Liu Xiaoling shook her head helplessly.

"Oh, it's true! Look at my emotional intelligence." Han Zhifeng sighed repeatedly, then frowned and said, "But I can't tell him that there is no hope of promotion, it will be a lot of a blow to people."

"You can say nothing." Wu Wei patted his shoulder from the side.

"But what the hell is this guy thinking? Such an important competition actually made such a spicy dish! And the amount of peppers he used was very large, completely overshadowing the taste of all other ingredients. I didn't dare to taste it too much, worried that it would affect my tongue's judgment of the dishes behind." Han Zhifeng spread his hands.

"This dish is fine if you usually participate in some competitions in certain categories. Unfortunately, he did not understand the meaning of the chef competition. We wanted to use the essence of a dish to carefully savor the skills mixed between the ingredients and the chef's comprehensive understanding of the ingredients." Wang Xiaomei shook her head.

"Yes, to be precise, excessive spicy food is no longer a taste, it tends to be more painful." After Yang Xiaoling finished speaking, she picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip, then spit it into the trash can under the table that was blocked by a tablecloth.

In competitions like this, the judges have the habit of rinsing their mouths, so that they keep their mouths clean so that the taste of the previous dish remains in their mouths when they taste the next dish.

"Please enter the next contestant." Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and washed up, Yang Xiaoling signaled to the staff next to them, and the staff notified the two hosts through the headset.

"The next contestant is Master Zhao from the food street. What he brought to everyone is a familiar dish called 'boiled fish fillet'!"

The host's voice fell, and Zhao Si appeared on the big screen in the field. He held a dark blue soup basin and slowly walked towards the judges' seat.
