I really can't control myself

"...My choice is Xiang En's cuisine, three flavors of pufferfish." Linton's voice was clearly heard by everyone. Xiang En clenched his fist fiercely. Sure enough, he was the winner.

Liu Maoxing on this side was stunned, and did not say anything immediately, but looked straight at Linton. This look clearly wanted Linton to explain why he lost.

Looking at Liu Maoxing's expression, Linton said that he still had to explain it. Fortunately, he had already thought of an excuse.

Yes, just when the two were arguing over the theory, Linton suddenly figured it out. This so-called food review is no longer about the cuisine.

Before, whether it was Fubuki or Aizen, they had already told Linton that the overall level of the two people's cuisine this time was actually similar. Just talking about the issue of food delivery, it was already hard to tell who would win. It didn't matter who he chose.

At this point, I might as well just abandon this aspect. Anyway, I am not good at really evaluating food. Speaking of ingredients, seasoning, and cooking methods, I actually don't know, I don't understand at all.

Since both of them have already reached the level of cooking concepts, Linton followed their words and started to talk about concepts.

Because Linton is good at this.

Isn't this just a competition of eloquence? Linton is best at eloquence. Usually, he can just curse a few people to death. It's not a big deal to curse a few gods to death. It's just nonsense. Who can't do that?

As long as he doesn't talk about cooking, Linton can talk.

"To be honest, if we follow Fubuki's thinking and consider the taste alone, these two dishes are indeed hard to tell apart." Linton said, "It's hard for me to judge which one is better just by taste. It's really too difficult to decide. But I have thought about it seriously. Now it's the final battle. If I just declare a tie or something like that, it would be a bit irresponsible for the whole game tonight. We need a final winner here."

Linton skipped the part he was not good at with a few words. He didn't discuss any taste issues at all. He just said that they were hard to tell apart. At least in the eyes of others, these words are to highlight the key points later. Everyone wants to know why Linton finally chose Xiang En's cooking, so naturally they will not pay too much attention to Linton's skipped words.

"So on this basis, why did I choose Xiang En's cooking in the end?" Although Linton asked a question, he quickly answered it himself, "That's because in my opinion, Xiang En's cooking has a part that you, the little chef, didn't do."

Liu Maoxing didn't care about the title of little chef at this time. He was still quite serious about the victory or defeat this time. He really didn't expect that he would lose, and now he really didn't think about where he lost, so he immediately asked: "The part that didn't do it? What is it?"

"That is... my identity." Linton said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Liu Maoxing was stunned when he heard it, but he obviously didn't understand what Linton meant. Don't talk about him, Xiang En himself didn't understand it, okay?

Of course, Xiang En didn't understand it, but she wasn't so stupid as Liu Maoxing to ask questions. Anyway, Linton chose her, so she couldn't question Linton's choice, right?

"What is my identity?" Linton asked Liu Maoxing directly.

"Yes... Your Majesty." Liu Maoxing thought for a while and answered.

"That's right, although I am sitting on the judges' seat now, my official position is the emperor. Not only me, but also the people sitting here, there are queens, royal relatives, and executive vice emperors..."

Speaking of executive vice emperors, others couldn't help but look at Aizen here. I have to say that this position is really too awkward, it's really unheard of, okay, don't you, the emperor, find it strange.

"Then in my identity, I can only make this choice in the end." Linton said.

"Huh?" Liu Maoxing obviously still didn't understand what Linton meant, and looked at Linton in surprise and confusion. What does it mean that the emperor can only choose Xiang En's food? I really don't understand what this means.

"Have you ever heard of a proverb, which says, 'If the superior is fond, the subordinates will be even more so.'" Linton said, "I am the emperor, and there are thousands of people who want to please me. Whenever there is a chance, some people will choose to try this route, just to please me."

"Have you heard of the Huashi Gang? It is said that the king of the Northern Song Dynasty who lost his country was very fond of strange mountains and rocks. Knowing the emperor's preferences, the ministers below began to collect various strange mountains and rocks, in order to present a strange stone to attract the emperor's attention and please the emperor."

"And the ministers wanted to collect these strange stones, and their subordinates would naturally try to please their masters, so strange mountains and rocks from all over the country gathered crazily in Bianliang City, and these escort teams that transported strange mountains and rocks were called Huashi Gang."

"I give this example to tell you that if I make a choice in my identity, it will have a great impact on the consequences." Linton said in one breath.

Liu Maoxing listened carefully, but after thinking for a while, he still asked: "But..."

"Do you think my example has nothing to do with today's cooking duel?" Linton said before the other party finished speaking.

"I... didn't expect it." Liu Maoxing said.

"I asked Xiang En to cook a fish, and what did she do? The fish meat was made into sashimi, the fish skin was made into fish jelly, and the fish bones were made into fried food. For this dish, she just made the most appropriate treatment for each part of the fish." Linton said.

"On the other hand, you made five kinds of high-quality soup, which should have used a lot of ingredients. But the purpose of these five soups is just to simmer the fish. It is true that this secret method does remove the earthy smell of eel meat and increase the flavor. There is no problem from the perspective of completing the dish, but have you really thought about the consequences if I choose your dish?"

Without waiting for Liu Maoxing to answer, Linton continued: "If I really choose you, I estimate that someone will soon study six-layer soup, seven-layer soup... ten-layer soup, hundred-layer soup. I am not exaggerating, as long as this road can be taken, there will always be someone who can go to the extreme, until it becomes a demon. They don't care whether it will be effective after a few more layers, or whether they can add any more flavor, because what they value is not the dish itself, but my attention."

Linton's words made Liu Maoxing shake, and he seemed to understand what Linton meant.

"So do you understand? Based on my identity, my final choice is and can only be Xiang En's dish." Linton said solemnly.
