Chapter 197
"Crispy shrimp? Isn't this an ordinary deep-fried shrimp? It's so bland... There seems to be no seasoning on the shrimp... Is it original?" Zhong Yuli looked at the shrimp on the chopsticks and thought to himself.

Let's eat and see first!Zhong Yuli thought, and the shrimp was sent into his mouth.

The taste is so crispy, the outer shell of the shrimp is almost completely crisp; the shrimp meat is very bouncy, which is different from the feeling of being very old as expected; wait!What a smell!This is... the taste of seasoning!Isn't there no seasoning?how come?
Zhong Yuli's eyes widened, as if he couldn't figure it out.

"Is there any seasoning in the shrimp shell?" Cui Ligen said, looking at his apprentice Horn with satisfaction.

Shrimp shells?Like a flash of lightning flashed through Zhong Yuli's mind, he picked up a shrimp again and peeled off the shell with his hands. There were indeed some seasonings inside.It's just that the shrimp shell itself has changed color, covering up these seasonings. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to ignore.

Having said that, who would have thought that there would be seasoning in the shrimp shell?
"Yes, very interesting idea. How did you come up with it?" Cui Ligen asked Horn.

"I cooked boiled shrimp before, and found that some water always accumulates in the shrimp shell. This is the gap left by the shrinkage of the shrimp meat and the size of the shrimp. Then I thought that the crispy shrimp I made was always not tasty enough. Can you find a way to put the prepared seasoning into the shell of the shrimp. In the end, there will be the crispy shrimp." Horn replied.

"Well, it's commendable to be good at thinking and discovering, and being able to use it. However, the shortcomings are also obvious. Your approach will affect the taste of the shrimp itself. More importantly, the seasoning is too strong. It conceals the deliciousness of the shrimp meat itself. But there is something to be willing to sacrifice the deliciousness of the shrimp meat itself, but in exchange for another unique taste." Cui Ligen commented.

Horn was not angry, Cui Ligen gave very pertinent opinions, but Cui Ligen's temper has always been like this, as long as he did something bad, he would point it out on the spot, regardless of the occasion.

"If your seasoning can be improved a little more, so that it doesn't cover up the deliciousness of the shrimp itself, but instead stimulates it. Then... this dish will be more perfect." Cui Ligen said.

"Thank you Master, Horn understands." Horn bowed, and Cui Ligen's words made him feel a little stunned.He also noticed the problem before, but he didn't know where the problem was.Now that Cui Ligen pointed it out sharply, Horn also has a goal to improve the dishes.This is why chefs taught by masters progress faster.

Master... Jiang Yang's gaze

"The prawns are delicious, but they were told they can't do it. It's too demanding!" Lao Yu said to Zhong Yuli in a low voice.

"Maybe this is the real chef." Zhong Yuli said.

"I can't understand." Old Yu muttered.

Zhong Yuli smiled and did not speak, but moved his eyes to another young chef.

Yang Wan hid in the corner, looking at Horn worriedly.Mr. Cui said that Horn should be fine, right?Yang Wan thought worriedly.

The other chefs didn't have this idea, but looked at Horn enviously. It was their dream to get such advice.

Jiang Yang looked at it curiously, he was also very interested in the crispy shrimp.If it wasn't for him still competing, he might not be able to resist jumping down to try it.

The soup in the pot was getting ready slowly, Jiang Yang waited quietly.

As time passed, the smell of the soup in the pot slowly came out, gradually permeating the whole kitchen.

"Smells good!" someone whispered.

Zhong Yuli sniffled, with a smile in his eyes, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.

"Old Zhong, this smells so good!" Lao Yu pulled Zhong Yuli and said.

"It's very fragrant, let's wait quietly." Zhong Yuli replied.

Lao Yu nodded and didn't speak any more.

Yang Wan also smelled the fragrance, and she looked at Horn even more worriedly.

"Master, this Jiangyang is not easy!" Senior Brother Wan whispered in Cui Ligen's ear.

"Well, I hope Xiao En can hold on." Cui Ligen said.

"Master, speaking like this, it seems that the younger brother is about to lose." Senior Brother Wan said.

Cui Ligen didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Yang lightly, with regret in his eyes.

Jiang Yang's expression became more and more focused, and he could be absent-minded just now, because he knew that the soup was not ready yet.But now, don't be careless, because Tang may reach the best level at any time, and he must concentrate on it to seize that opportunity!

All right!Jiang Yang quickly got up and turned off the fire!
"My dishes are ready," Jiang Yang said.

Lifting the lid of the pot, a burst of taste that was much stronger than before burst out.When everyone heard it, they couldn't help being fascinated.This is what it looks like when it smells delicious.

Without Jiang Yang's hands, his own waiter came and turned the soup pot into small bowls.

Fortunately, Jiang Yang's soup pot is very big, so he is not afraid that it will not be enough.

Everyone in the kitchen got a small bowl, including Yang Wan in the corner.

Cui Ligen held the bowl and smelled it, then secretly glanced at Horn.

Zhong Yuli couldn't help but looked at Jiang Yang curiously. This little brother he met by chance seemed not simple!

But now is not the time to explore this matter, Zhong Yuli looked at the bowl.

The soup color is very clear, some light brown.This is...a quail egg?No...it's not like, it should be...pigeon eggs!Are these shiitake mushrooms?It was actually torn into very thin strands... What kind of mushrooms are there?Blended together, unrecognizable.

The soup looks very bland, not sure how it tasted.Zhong Yu thought to himself.

Forget it, let's try it first.Zhong Yuli scooped up a pigeon egg and some soup with a spoon, and put them into his mouth.

This... this is... such a strong taste!This soup looks so light, but it tastes so rich!

With the hot soup in his mouth, Zhong Yuli seemed to feel the coming summer.

Before he knew it, after drinking a bowl of soup, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his body.

Zhong Yuli couldn't describe the taste of this bowl of soup, if he had to say it, then he could only describe it as hearty and dripping!

"It's so refreshing! This soup tastes so good!" Lao Yu couldn't help but increase his voice, and everyone in the kitchen could already hear it.

But everyone didn't refute anything, this soup is really delicious!

Yang Wan, who was hiding in the corner, tightened her fingers holding the bowl, even she had to admit that Jiang Yang's soup was delicious.

She looked at Horn worriedly, but her eyes were a little flustered...

"The soup is delicious, the beauty of the pigeon eggs, the freshness of the fungus, combined with the thickness of the ham, without adding too much seasoning, and the taste of the ingredients themselves are brought out to the fullest. This is a dish that refreshes the taste buds , I can't find anything wrong with it." Cui Ligen said with a sigh.

I can't help feeling a little regretful, is there such a big gap between Horn and Jiang Yang?He was afraid that if Horn was hit, it would be a success, but if the blow was too big and Horn would never recover from a setback, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

Horn also tasted Jiangyang's soup, and his face turned pale...he knew he had lost!

Senior Brother Wan glanced at Horn, sighed slightly and said, "Let's start voting."
