Chapter 255 Unexpected Results

Judging from the facial expressions, the five Japanese judges seemed not particularly satisfied with the steamed turbot.

After all, Yang Huaizhong is also an old chef. He has mastered it for more than [-] years, and there are many Japanese people who have eaten his cuisine.

He also has a general understanding of the eating habits of the Japanese Ben people.It stands to reason that steamed turbot is not seasoned with heavy seasonings, and the taste also maintains the lightness and tenderness of the fish raw materials.

These judges shouldn't have such expressions after eating this delicacy.

Seeing the indifferent faces of the judges, Li Maoren was very happy.

Sure enough, as he thought, Japanese people are used to eating sashimi, and their love for raw fish has been engraved in their DNA since their birth.

Even if steamed turbot is seafood, no matter how light the cooking is, the most important fresh taste is ignored.

Japanese people who are used to eating raw fish early, can imagine that the rating of this dish must be pitifully low.

Li Maoren thought to himself, his face was full of pride, as if he had a winning ticket.

Mr. Li, who was in the judging panel, also looked smug, and he also tasted a few mouthfuls of steamed turbot.

Frankly speaking, the meat of this steamed fish is white, the taste is tender and not sticky to the teeth, even the soy sauce, water and oil are well blended, the taste is absolutely superior and impeccable.

But if it doesn't meet the taste of the Japanese judges, no matter how delicious it is, it will be in vain.

Mr. Li had probably expected in his heart that the first match was a sure bet.

Mr. Chen, who was in the jury, was full of sadness. Originally, he had the most confidence in Yang Huaizhong, so he was allowed to take the lead. If he lost the first match, it would definitely affect morale, which would be very unfavorable for the next two matches.

How can these Japanese people be indifferent to steamed turbot that is so delicious? Is it because they are restrained and the deliciousness is not expressed through their expressions.

I hope these judges happen to be introverted, Mr. Chen prayed silently in his heart.

The stage hostess continued, "The next thing I will try is the crystal steamed dumplings cooked by Chef Li Maoren of Hengyuan Hotel."

Open the high lid, and the crystal steamed dumplings with rosy white and thin skin are presented in front of all the judges.

The five judges also picked up a crystal steamed dumpling with thin skin and filling with chopsticks one after another, and began to taste it.

Bai Xiaobai was in the rest area, watching the judges' expressions from a distance.

When the five judges tasted the crystal steamed dumplings, their faces were a little bit satisfied.

Especially Koji Ito seemed to be quite satisfied with the crystal steamed dumplings, and ate several in a row.

Generally speaking, the expressions of the remaining four judges were still calm, and they did not show much surprise.

It stands to reason that both Yang Huaizhong and Li Maoren can be regarded as representatives of the top chefs in Jianghai City, and the delicacies they cook are absolutely extraordinary, but the reactions of the five Japanese judges were unexpectedly indifferent.

There are differences in food culture between China and Japan, but there are also similarities, so there should be no gap in food culture.

Could it be that these five judges have extremely high standards for Chinese cuisine?
Bai Xiaobai was thinking silently in the rest area.

At the same time, the five judges on the stage had put down their chopsticks, and the tasting of the first competition was clearly over.

The hostess of the stage asked the judges how they felt after tasting the two delicacies in fluent Japanese.

Ito Ginnosuke said, "First of all, I would like to thank the two chefs for the two delicacies. They are both delicious and I like them very much."

His answer was very official, and he didn't indicate which food he liked, which had a particularly mysterious meaning.

Koji Ito commented, "I personally like dumplings, the shape is very kawaii, and the delicious filling immediately fills my mouth when I bite, it's so delicious."

Masami Ito shares much the same opinion as her husband, and also prefers gyoza.

Ichiro Watanabe's opinion is that he prefers steamed turbot:

"I think this dish is incredible. The steamed fish tastes very delicious, and there is fermented soybeans in the dipping sauce. I personally like Sichuan cuisine, so I prefer steamed fish made with this seasoning."

When the hostess asked Sachiko Nohara how she felt, she smiled like a flower, "I like them both. Both dishes are delicious. I think Huaxia's chefs are very good. This steamed fish removes the fishy smell very well. Clean, the texture of the fish is very tender and smooth, I am particularly afraid of fish bones, but there are not many spines in this fish, so it is very good, and I also like the way the other chef cooks dumplings, so I am sure they are all very good.”

When the hostess communicates with the judges, they will translate their feelings at the same time.

Bai Xiaobai listened in a daze in the rest area.

The five judges expressed their feelings loudly through the microphone.

Generally speaking, two or three of the five people gave very vague and general answers. I don't want the Huaxia food judges to like that food, and it will be very obvious through the comments.

From the words of the five Japanese judges, Bai Xiaobai couldn't figure out their ratings for the two delicacies at all.

After the hostess asked the five judges how they felt, she continued to speak in fluent Japanese: "The two delicacies in the first competition have been tasted, and the five judges are asked to rate the two delicacies separately. Turbot, please brighten the star."

The male host simultaneously translated the female host's Japanese conversation in Chinese.

In the cooking competition, the scoring part is always the most exciting moment.

After the onlookers outside the cordon learned about the scoring session, they all grew their necks, talked a lot, and waited for the scoring results.

"Who do you think won the first match?"

"Nine times out of ten, Hengyuan Hotel won the first game,"

"I guess Master Yang Huaizhong from Haochuang."

While the onlookers were guessing, at the judges' table, the five Japanese judges had already begun to raise their cards to show the number of stars.

For steamed turbot, Ito Ginnosuke gave 2.5 stars.

As soon as the number of stars came out, Yang Huaizhong's brain was full of blood. No matter how good his quality was, he couldn't help but cursed inwardly, "Hold the grass XX!"

A full score of 5 stars, 2.5 stars is replaced by a ten-point system, which is equivalent to 5 points, that is, a failure.This is simply unacceptable to Yang Huaizhong, who has been a chef in a five-star hotel for more than [-] years.

"Is there a mistake? The old man who came here today doesn't know whether he understands Chinese cuisine or not!" A crowd watching the game couldn't help cursing angrily.

"Fuck, it's only 2.5 stars, it shouldn't be, where does this score make Master Yang's old face go?"

"Shady, proper shady!"

When the onlookers saw the score scored by Ito Ginnosuke, they all exploded.

Yang Huaizhong is often a guest on Jianghai TV's evening food show, so there are still a lot of passerby fans in Jianghai City. Many people know the character Yang Huaizhong of Haochuang, and some viewers even came to watch this show because of Yang Huaizhong's name. Cooking competition.

They really couldn't figure out that it would be this score.

The remaining four judges continue to score.

Koji Ito scored 3 stars, and Masami Ito also scored 3 stars.

Ichiro Watanabe scored 3.5 stars.

And Nohara Sachiko is exaggerating. The audience thinks she is a kawaii girl, and she will definitely give high marks very gently, such as 4 stars, or 4.5 stars.

But the result was unexpected.

Sachiko Nohara originally wanted to raise her card for 2 stars, but hesitated for two seconds, then added half a star, and finally scored 2.5 stars.

After statistics, the hostess announced, "The steamed turbot cooked by Master Yang Huaizhong finally got 14.5 stars. Congratulations to Master Yang."

This congratulation is the most ironic 'congratulations' that Yang Huaizhong has heard in half his life.

Once the total score was announced, the audience below exploded again.

"This score is too low, not even 15 stars."

"Needless to say, Hao Chuang will lose the first game, let's wait for the second game."

"Master Yang, this is too miserable."

Many onlookers, who often watch the local TV station, also recognize a familiar face like Yang Huaizhong. When they heard such a low score, they couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing. .

As soon as Yang Huaizhong's score was announced, Mr. Li and Li Maoren were really happy. There was no suspense in the result of the first match.

You don't even get 15 stars, how can you compete with me, old man Yang, hehe.

Li Maoren took a meaningful look at Yang Huaizhong, his eyes were full of perseverance, he almost spit on his face.

Speaking of which, Li Maoren and Yang Huaizhong still have some old feuds in the past. I think that Jianghai TV station specially found them at the same time in order to produce an evening food program.

But that gourmet show only needed one chef to be the cooking guest, and the TV station producer hoped that Li Maoren and Yang Huaizhong would win the only place through the competition.

Because this gourmet show is broadcast on the prime time of the local TV station, once selected as a chef guest, not only can it become popular, but at least it can increase the reputation in Jianghai. Besides, participating in this show, the producer will offer The appearance fee is also considerable.

Facing the double temptation of fame and fortune, both Yang Huaizhong and Li Maoren agreed to a culinary showdown.

The culinary showdown was held in the staff canteen of the TV station, and the final result was that Li Maoren lost to Yang Huaizhong by only one point.

Li Maoren felt that there was something shady about this result at the time, and he still can't accept it until now, as if a mouthful of phlegm has accumulated in his chest, he has been unhappy.

Today's culinary competition is finally going to avenge the past.

When Li Maoren saw Yang Huaizhong's low score, he looked very proud, and the joy in his heart was even better than XX.

However, Li Maoren's refreshment did not last long.

Five Japanese judges finished scoring Yang Huaizhong and started a new round of scoring.

When Ito Ginnosuke scored 2 stars for the crystal steamed dumpling, Li Maoren was so surprised that his eyes almost didn't fall out.

"Hold grass X numbness..." Li Maoren's education level is not high, and he has not graduated from elementary school, so he started to curse in his heart.

The remaining four judges also scored points one after another.

Koji Ito gave a high score of 3.5 stars, and Masami Ito gave almost a perfect score of 4 stars.

Ichiro Watanabe gave the pass 3 stars.

Sachiko Nohara is still extraordinarily cold, like Ito Ginnosuke, she only gave 2 stars.

After statistics, the hostess announced loudly, "The crystal steamed dumplings cooked by Master Li Maoren also won 14.5 stars in the end. Congratulations to Master Li."

The results of the first game have obviously come out, and the results are beyond the expectations of many people.

Yang Huaizhong and Li Maoren actually had the same score, both with 14.5 stars, which means that the first cooking competition was tied and there was no winner.
