Chapter 403 Famous Snacks Final
eleven o'clock sharp
The weather in Jianghai is fine and cloudless.

The XX Square is crowded with people, and many people bring their relatives and friends to attend the closing ceremony of the food festival during the rest day.

Passers-by who missed the food festival before are also fighting for the last time to dabble in food at various booths of the food festival.

In the middle of the stage in XX Square, the male and female hosts appeared again.

This is their return to the stage after a seven-day absence.

The female host excitedly said to the male host, "Time really flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is almost the closing time of the Jianghai Food Festival."

The male host said, "Yes, I am really reluctant. However, apart from the closing ceremony today, there is also a very important moment, and that is the selection of famous and excellent snacks at the Jianghai Food Festival."

The hostess smiled at the audience and said, "That's right, a few days ago our judges had selected forty delicacies to enter the finals, and today is the final. Among the forty delicacies, only six delicacies can be entered." To be awarded the title of Famous Snack, there are three bronze medals, two silver medals and only one gold medal.”

The male host answered, "Of the [-] delicacies, only one can win the gold award. It's really too difficult. I don't know what decision our professional jury will make."

The hostess smiled and said, "This decision can only be handed over to the thirteen judges. It's really hard for them."

The male host said to the onlookers on the stage, "By the way, everyone, don't forget to participate in the SMS interactive voting of the Jianghai Food Festival. You can use your mobile phone to edit, during the food festival, the number of your favorite food booth, and vote for the boss. "

"Although this vote cannot determine the gold, silver and copper rewards for famous snacks, the booth owner who gets the most votes from diners will win the Jianghai Food Festival Popularity Award. The voting time is until [-]:[-] in the evening. If you have a favorite food booth, please vote for them Cast your valuable vote."

"Of course, this text message is a paid text message, one yuan a piece. However, for those who participate in the voting interaction of the program, the organizing committee will select ten lucky eaters from these people, and they will have the opportunity to win..."

Bai Xiaobai could clearly hear the voice of the stage host at the booth.

He didn't hear at all what he would have a chance of getting, though.

At this moment, he is devoting himself to cooking delicious food.

King Spirit Mine Lang——

He has already learned that the final trial has already started.

The thirteen judges have arrived in Area A and started to comment on the food that entered the finals.

After tasting the three delicacies recommended by the judges in District A, the judges moved to District B to continue tasting the three delicacies recommended by the judges in this district.

After eating six delicacies, the judges finally came to Area C.

Gu Leiting, Hu Weijia, and Lin Yupeng had surprisingly unanimous opinions. The three top delicacies in Area C they recommended were all made by Bai Xiaobai.

This is also what Zeng Xiaofang was very curious about.

The key food promotions in the three districts of ABD come from different booths, with the exception of District C.

Is there an inside story?
Zeng Xiaofang was born in a rural area, and his success in the officialdom was not smooth. He relied entirely on his own hard power, worked hard bit by bit, and sincerely served the people. This is why he has the position of deputy mayor today.

He resolutely opposes any form of internal appointment, going through the back door, and engaging in specialization, and the food festival is no exception.

He will never tolerate these crooked ways at the food festival under his nose.

A group of thirteen judges came straight to Bai Xiaobai's booth.

Bai Xiaobai has already prepared three gourmet snacks for 13 people.

Among the thirteen judges, except for the three familiar faces of Gu Leiting, Hu Weijia, and Lin Yupeng, the judges of the preliminary round.

Bai Xiaobai knew a few more.

The leader, a middle-aged and elderly man in a suit in his early fifties, is Zeng Xiaofang, the deputy mayor of this city.

Because he often attends government work meetings with city leaders on the TV station, and because he is approachable, he often goes to the countryside to do field trips in impoverished mountainous areas, and he is always on the headlines of local newspapers, so Bai Xiaobai has a somewhat impression of this face.

Besides Deputy Mayor Zeng, Bai Xiaobai also knew two women.

One is the rich female Jianghai, Hu Mei who had sent flower baskets to the shop before.

Hu Mei was very eye-catching among the judges. She wore light makeup, a high-end brand-name snow-white down jacket, black tight elastic pants, leather women's high boots, and a long camel-colored neck scarf. She was very elegant.

Hu Mei smiled and nodded to Bai Xiaobai.

Bai Xiaobai also smiled back.

In addition to Hu Mei, the female photographer Zheng Yurou who was with Kenta Kobayashi before was also on the jury.

She also waved to Bai Xiaobai.

The selection of judges for the Jianghai Food Festival is also based on principles.

The judges of the previous ABCD divisions were basically a professional chef with two foodies.

For example, Gu Leiting is a professional chef, while Lin Yupeng and Hu Weijia are amateurs in cooking, but they are also good at tasting food.

Hu Mei and Zheng Yurou are both food judges invited by the Food Festival Organizing Committee.

Hu Mei's Hu Pharmaceutical Company's influence in Jiang Hai naturally need not be repeated. It is reasonable for her to be invited by the organizing committee, and Bai Xiaobai is not surprised at all.

It's just that Zheng Yurou's presence surprised Bai Xiaobai.

It must be unusual to be a judge of a food festival. Apart from being the translator of Kenta Kobayashi, does she have other identities?
Bai Xiaobai was curious, but in the group of judges, he suddenly felt a chill.

Next to Hu Mei, stood this middle-aged fat man with a flat head, staring at him with very unfriendly eyes.

Bai Xiaobai frowned slightly, he didn't know this person.

Soon, the jury began to taste Bai Xiaobai's three delicacies according to the procedure.

Lin Yupeng, Hu Weijia, Gu Leiting, Zheng Yurou, and even Hu Mei have all personally tried Bai Xiaobai's cooking skills.

So when they ate the three gourmet snacks, they were surprised, but this level was far less intense than that of Zeng Xiaofang.

In the past few years when Zeng Xiaofang was a leader, he never ate or drank with public funds, but he loved food all his life, and he also ate a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas out of his own pocket.

If it was just ordinary food, he would not be so surprised, but he has never eaten such delicious food.

It's no exaggeration.

Especially clear soup powder.

Pick up the pink vermicelli, and a thin layer of heat rises.

Under the sunlight, each vermicelli is as rouge-like, crystal-clear and translucent, giving people absolute visual enjoyment.

The clear soup powder is soft and soft in the mouth, and it melts in the mouth.

The rich rice fragrance melts between the lips and tongue, just like ice and snow melting naturally when they encounter warmth.

The salty fragrance remains on the tongue, but the aroma rises little by little, passes through the nasal cavity, and finally exhales——

Zeng Xiaofang took a sip of clear soup.

Top-notch soup, no need to repeat, no greasy feeling, very delicious! .

The deliciousness of the chicken soup is far beyond Zeng Xiaofang's imagination, how could it be so delicious.

Even if the Chai chicken is added with wild bamboo fungus "Queen of Mushrooms" and stewed slowly in water, it is not so delicious...

too delicious.

The combination of powder and soup, this clear soup powder is simply the highest enjoyment on the tip of the tongue.

Zeng Xiaofang's favorite delicacy is the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall in Minfu Province. Every Spring Festival holiday, he brings his relatives to Fuwanlou in Minfu City to taste it.

At this time, it is nothing compared to the clear soup powder in the mouth.

"This steamed dumpling is so delicious, how do you make it?"

"The clear noodle soup tastes quite dry and full of fragrance..."

"The vermicelli in the clear soup powder is red. This is the first time I have seen it, but the taste is very good."

The judges whispered to each other, talking about the food of Bai Xiaobai's cuisine in low voices, basically they were generous with words and praised.

Only the middle-aged man with the flat head and unfriendly eyes just now, he didn't take a bite of the delicacy made by Bai Xiaobai, and the word 'disdain' was written on his slightly dark face.
