Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 23

23.
first course
Osmanthus Hawthorn Cake

The referees are two men and one woman, all of them are young people in their twenties to thirties.

Seeing the two almost identical osmanthus and hawthorn cakes, the three of them were taken aback for a moment, but soon found that A and B were written on the plates.

A is Xie Guoyong, and B is Li Xiao.

Of course, the three judges and the surrounding audience didn't know in advance which one was A and which one was B.

Of course, the three judges subconsciously took the A first. This is also Xie Guoyong's little trick.

When comparing two identical dishes, if the tastes of the two are not much different, the judges will most likely choose the first dish.

Because the same dish is eaten later, the judges will constantly compare the second dish with the first one, so that many shortcomings will be found.

Therefore, in some red wine evaluations, tea evaluations, and dish evaluations.

Every time the referee tastes a dish, he will rinse his mouth with water, even ice water, just to wash away the taste of the last red wine, tea, and dish.

However, even under such a strict evaluation, the first dish still has a huge advantage. This is the first taste soup mentioned in the industry evaluation.

The first taste of soup means that the first bite of a bowl of soup must be the best to drink. Similarly, the first bite of the same batch of dishes is also the best.

As a senior chef, Xie Guoyong certainly knows the way.

Arrange yourself into A, winning rate and unlimited increase.

Unless Li Xiao's culinary skills are really far superior to his own, Xie Guoyong is confident that he cannot lose in this competition.

The judges quickly began to taste, and after the comparison, began to score.

Of course, the three are just random tourists on the road.

The scoring column is just a blank column, without any detailed scoring such as appearance score, taste score, and collocation score. The three of them only need to fill in a specific score.

"very sour."

The first judge frowned, immediately put down the spoon, picked up another spoon, and scooped up the second piece of sweet-scented osmanthus and hawthorn cake.

Soon, when the hawthorn cake entered the mouth, he was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately scooped up a second mouthful.

Then came the third bite, and when he wanted to eat the fourth bite, he found that the black plate was empty, and before he knew it, he had eaten up the whole piece of hawthorn jelly.

Li Xiao glanced at the empty plate, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that everyone is very satisfied with the dishes, because he saw that among the three judges.

Only the second female judge finished Xie Guoyong's haw jelly, while the other two male judges stopped after taking a small bite.

And the hawthorn cake he made was eaten up.

The plates were removed, the second course, the third course, and soon, twelve courses were served in turn.

Li Xiao and Xie Guoyong had already stopped what they were doing, and they looked at each other.

This is the first time Li Xiao and Xie Guoyong have formally looked at each other since they started the match.

Li Xiao's eyes are full of relaxation, but Xie Guoyong's eyes are very complicated, with doubts, surprises, puzzles, and fears.

The comments from the surrounding audience became more and more obvious, because even if they didn't taste it and didn't know how it tasted, they could already tell it.

The gap between the two chefs should be very large, because two meals that are almost the same, there will always be less than half or even more than half of one meal left.

Although they didn't know that the leftover dish was produced by that person.

But obviously, the gap between the two is so big that anyone can be picked at random.

Moreover, the performances of the three judges were very consistent, which also showed that this situation was not due to individual tastes.

Xie Guoyong spoke, his tone was inexplicable

"Who the hell are you? Why are you here to mess with me?"

He looked Li Xiao up and down with strange eyes, and he was sure that among the senior chefs in China, there was no one like this one in front of him.

Li Xiao laughed

"Who am I? I'm just a low-level person in your mouth, an ordinary third-rate, no, it should be a fifth-rate gourmet anchor."

"You may not believe it, but today is the first time I have cooked so many dishes"

Xie Guoyong shook his head. He didn't believe a word Li Xiao said.

He could see it just now, the guy who can easily make [-]-layer radish crisps, the shredded radish can be cut as thin as hair.

An ordinary one-star senior pastry chef probably wouldn't be able to make such a product. This guy actually said that he is just a food anchor.

Xie Guoyong shook his head and sighed

"Why do you do this? You have reached this point, so there is no need to hide it?"

"You have at least a senior four-star level, why bother with me?"

"What's wrong with me, just tell me directly, so what if I apologize in private?"

"It doesn't seem good for you to step on your peers like this?"

Xie Guoyong glanced at Li Xiao's camera, fifth-rate anchor?First time cooking so many dishes?ordinary people?

Go cheat.

While the two were talking, the three judges had already stood up and read out the scores of the two chefs to the people around them.

Judge No. 1

"Player A has 80 points, and player B has 115 points."

As soon as judge No. 1 said his words, there was an uproar on the field. 80 points and 115 points are actually 35 points behind?
You must know that the total score is 120 points, 80 points are barely passable, and 115 points are definitely considered excellent.

Not only the audience at the scene made a noise, but also the live broadcast room was full of barrage.

"Here, come, there is a quiz with prizes, I have opened the market here, and the audience can freely bet on your cat's claws."

"I am the only manager of this live broadcast room, and I open the market directly on the page."

"The host wins [-] to [-], and the dog chef wins [-] to [-]. There is no upper limit, just come here."

The person who spoke was the big guy who once rewarded Li Xiao with 20 rockets.

Later, the boss asked Li Xiao for a position as an administrator, and Li Xiao gave it to him without thinking too much.

"Wow, is there such a big difference in ratings? Well, I've cast all my cat's claws. I think the streamer can win. I want to support the streamer."

"Did the people upstairs get carried away by the odds? The anchor is just a scum who graduated from a third-rate university, a third-rate anchor."

"Although this seems to destroy one's own prestige, many of you don't even know the strength of a three-star senior chef. Although I support the anchor very much in my heart, I have already placed 1000 cat claws for the chef."

"That's right, there is no suspense in the competition, the first judges all scored, 80 points to 115 points."

"You don't need to read it. The score of 80 must belong to the host, and the score of 115 must belong to the stinky chef."

"Although it is not easy to be qualified under the senior chef of Samsung, but if you lose, you lose. I can't let my cat's claws go to waste."

In the live broadcast room, there was another quarrel because of the opening of the local tyrant management.

Many people talked well and supported Li Xiao, but they were not optimistic about Li Xiao.

Therefore, all the cat's claws in hand are invested in Xie Guoyong, and some are really optimistic, but they are not willing to invest.

Life is full of vicissitudes, human feelings are cold and warm, but that is the case.
