Chapter 21: Who Was Reading with the Crown Prince?

  Xie Xuan, under the greedy gaze of the three people, put this piece of residual leaves into his mouth. In an instant, he was stunned, feeling that his body was filled with strength, as if there was endless energy, and it seemed that he had become decades younger in an instant.

  It seems like I've returned to my childhood, and it seems like I've seen my own beautiful memories of old times.

  Beautiful dreams, all the past goodness, with infinite energy, are flowing before his eyes bit by bit.

  For an old man, what is most beautiful is undoubtedly a healthy body, so Xie Xuan got drunk.

  Chu Feng did not expect such a situation to arise; he had only thought that the Piao Jing Xiu Mu Dan's refreshing and invigorating effects would allow him to help Zhuangyuan Pavilion obtain first place.

  Moreover, he ate nine in a row and didn't lose his composure like some people on stage now, which left him somewhat perplexed.

  He actually took three pills at once, the medicine was very potent, and the refreshing and invigorating effects were completely overshadowed by the side effects at that time.

  But now it's different, this is just a pinch of powder, the effect that comes out has no side effects at all, so this is the real thing for refreshing and invigorating the mind. Xie Xuan and Shi Jianghui couldn't help but get drunk on it.

  It was a long time before Xie Xuan finally woke up from his intoxication. His first reaction was to look at the crystal plate with boiled white vegetables, but he found that the crystal plate had been taken away by Shi Jianghui and was tightly held in his arms, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

  A step too late!

  At this time, Ye Qiu saw Xie Xuan finally wake up from his intoxication and hurried over without even wiping the cold sweat on his forehead: "Xie Lao, now please comment on the plain boiled cabbage dish of the champion pavilion."

  Xie Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation as he withdrew his gaze from the crystal plate in Jiang Hui's hands, took a deep breath, and pondered the words he wanted to say. However, no matter how hard he thought, he simply couldn't find the right words to express himself. He let out a soft sigh and said, "All I can say is that this dish is the best I've ever had in my life - there's no comparison!"

  One sentence shocked everyone.

  Xie Xuan was a renowned gourmet in the world, known for having tasted all the delicacies under heaven. His palate was extremely discerning, and his words were also extremely harsh to hear.

  Although he previously praised the Golden Bell Hotel with so many words of praise, it was because of special circumstances. Firstly, the steamed eight-treasure pork made by the Golden Bell Hotel had indeed reached an extreme in terms of appearance, fragrance and taste. Secondly, he himself wanted to save some face for Shi Jianghui, so he said those things.

  However, he later commented on Kaiyue and Shenglong, but his words were very sharp.

  His evaluation of the sweet and sour carp made by Kaiyue is: The taste is okay, but it doesn't completely cover up the fishy smell of the carp, so it can only be considered as barely reaching a first-class level.

  As for Sheng Long's steamed crab roe, his evaluation is: The crab roe was overcooked and slightly hard when entering the mouth, affecting the taste.

  From this, it can be seen that he was able to give such an evaluation as the Number One Scholar Pavilion, which is a height that has been reached, and especially with the last supplementary sentence, there is no exception!

  Even Ye Qiu was stunned by this evaluation, which was too high, wasn't it?

  Isn't it that someone from Zhuangyuan Building bribed Xie Xuan?

  Ye Qiu was lost in thought for a moment, but quickly adjusted himself. A professional smile spread across his face as he walked towards Shi Jianghui.

  He wanted to hear a few bad comments from Shi Jianghui's mouth, after all, when commenting on something, you have to have both good and bad opinions.

  When Shi Jianghui heard Ye Qiu ask him how he would evaluate it, he immediately fell silent.

  "After a long while, he murmured: 'As for this dish, I can no longer express my feelings in words!'"

  Then he seemed to feel that this was not enough, so he carefully raised the crystal plate that had been tightly held in his arms, and the high soup inside, like jade, swirled around: "Seeing this, don't you understand? Without jadeite white vegetables, even a sip of this soup is better than drinking the finest wine!"

  He finished speaking and again tightly hugged the crystal plate, sighing softly.

  Ye Qiu was stunned, as if he had seen a joke at the end of the century. Was this still that rich second generation who didn't give face when speaking and was arrogant to death? However, Ye Qiu knew it was no longer suitable to interview him, so he turned to the other two judges.

  A stout judge, who looked more majestic horizontally than vertically, let out a sigh and said: "This dish has left me floating on cloud nine, it makes me feel like I've lost 100 pounds, that feeling is just too great!"

  Another judge sighed with a bitter face: "Alas! I just want to know, can we still eat such plain boiled cabbage in the future?"

  His words shocked everyone out of their dreams, including Xie Xuan. At that time, Jiang Hui and all the others looked towards Zhuangyuan Pavilion, looking at Chu Feng.

  Chu Feng touched the powder of the Washing Marrow Dan in his bosom with his hand, today he only scraped off a bit of it, if it was like this, using it a hundred or so times wouldn't be a problem.

  So he smiled slowly, meeting everyone's expectant gaze: "Don't worry about this, from today on, every Sunday the champion pavilion will make a dish of boiled water cabbage, and welcome everyone to taste it at that time!"

  Although it takes a week to make one, it's still better than nothing, so the eyes of Shi Jianghui and others lit up instantly, and they couldn't wait to squeeze beside Chu Feng and book an order.

  "Now everyone has tasted the dishes made by the four major hotels, so please invite the four judges to score!" Ye Qiu, being an experienced host, timely stood out and controlled the situation.

  "Now reveal the Golden Barrel Hotel, the score for steaming the Eight Treasures Pig!"

  As Ye Qiu's magnetic voice filled the air, Xie Yu and the others also suppressed the excitement in their hearts and sat back down in their seats.

  "9.8 points, 9.5 points, 9.7 points, 9 points!" Ye Qiu loudly read out the scores, then smiled and looked at the audience below: "The final score of Jintu Hotel is 9.5 points!"

  Ye Qiu's hand shot up high, his face filled with excitement as he shouted loudly: "9.5 points, this is an extremely high score! But can the Golden Barrel Hotel ultimately take home the championship? Let's wait and see, let's look at the scores of the next few hotels!"

  ……

  The famous chef of the Jinzun Hotel is also somewhat excited now, at 9:55, according to the culinary competitions held elsewhere in the past, that would be even higher than the score of the first place.

  Downstairs, Gu Heng regained his composure, he raised his head high, looked around, puffed out his chest, and lifted his chin: "Hmph! In the end, it still depends on strength. You are just accompanying the prince to read books."

  "Please give your scores for the champion's pavilion!" Soon, Ye Qiu had already reported to the champion's pavilion. In the previous results, Jinting Hotel was in a league of its own, while the other two hotels scored around 90 points each.

  Zou Qing Shan's hands were clenched tightly, his whole body was trembling, and his face was somewhat pale.

  Chu Feng smiled calmly, but his heart was actually tense, he just didn't show it.

  "9.5 points, perfect score, perfect score, perfect score!" Ye Qiu's voice grew higher and higher, his expression also intensely excited, a perfect score, this was a full mark, and it was three full marks, such results, that was almost unprecedented.

  It can be imagined that the commotion caused is also astonishing.

  "The final score of Zhuangyuan Pavilion is 9.875 points!" Ye Qiu raised his arms, and the atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited to the highest point.

  "Boom!" Suddenly below was in chaos.

  Especially Gu Heng, his face was like he had been slapped dozens of times, and then trampled on by thick soles for dozens of feet, becoming incredibly colorful.

  The other Kai Yue and Sheng Long's manager who were just disappointed also looked at him like a clown.

  Qin Fang didn't even glance at him, as if he didn't exist.

  Gu Heng was so angry he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

  On stage, Hu Tian De's face turned pale, his eyes were dull and confused, muttering to himself: "This can't be, this can't be..."

  "Now let's congratulate Zhuangyuan Pavilion for winning the first prize in the First Cooking Master Competition, please welcome them!" Ye Qiu shouted excitedly, dragging out a long sentence. For him, this Cooking Master Competition, although there were twists and turns in the middle, but the success achieved was very rewarding.

  At that time, Jiang Hui and several others went to Chu Feng, all thinking of getting closer to him, wanting to have another taste of the magical boiled white cabbage. Only Xie Yuan had a gloomy face and quietly walked out.
