Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"This fifth dish is the deciding game. How about it? Are you two confident?"

The dishes were about to be served, and everyone stood up anxiously to look into the kitchen.

The two chefs wiped their sweat and smiled knowingly.

"Boss, no matter who wins or loses, I'm convinced! Master He's cooking skills are extraordinary!"

Chef Wang praised Sha Zhu highly, and Sha Zhu had to be convinced. After tasting the four dishes made by Chef Wang, he finally had a real understanding of Cantonese cuisine.

The main feature is a fresh taste! And the ingredients are very simple, you can cook delicious food with a fresh taste, you have to admire it.

Although Shazhu didn't say anything, his eyes spoke louder than anything else.

He still said, "I'm confident in this round!"

Obviously, Sha Zhu has used all his skills to win this game and win this opportunity!

"Okay, you two take a break first, waiter, prepare the food!"

When the door to the kitchen opened, there was warm applause from the front hall.

"Everyone, this is the last dish. The victory or defeat concerns the reputation of the two chefs. Please vote carefully!"

Xiao Weiguo made a suggestion, and the audience took it seriously.

They all nodded to show that they understood that this was not just free food and drinks, but also an appreciation of delicious food!

Every vote they cast concerns the chef's reputation, so everyone started to be cautious.

After the votes were counted, the two ended up in a tie!

Xiao Weiguo curled his lips, indicating that this was not fun anymore!

After busying around for a long time, it ended up being a tie. It's true that each has its merits, but taste is something that is difficult to satisfy everyone. There are always people who love it very much, while others who dislike it and can't eat it. How can it be a tie?

"Mom, what did the food you just ate taste like? I want to try it too!"

Because He Jingjing was too young, she had always been hiding in the corner and was ignored by Wu Lue, but her sweet voice attracted everyone's attention in the hall.

"Boss, everyone in the hall has tasted it, but the little girl who was talking just now hasn't eaten it yet. There's only one vote difference. Let the little girl cast one vote and it's over!"

Those who were watching the fun started to make their own moves, and Xiao Weiguo also thought this was a good idea.

"Okay, let's do it! Someone's kid was talking just now, please bring him to the front, and we'll..."

As he was speaking, Qin Jingru gave a hint of recruitment, and Sha Zhu's eyes lit up!

My goodness, isn’t this my own daughter?

Xiao Weiguo subconsciously felt that this was going to be bad. He Jingjing and Sha Zhu had a deep father-daughter relationship, and this was suspected of cheating!

but……

"Everyone, let me introduce this kid to you. This kid is Chef He's daughter. But the kid is too young. If he can't tell who made the two dishes, I think it's reasonable to let him come!"

"What do you think, Chef Wang?"

We must first get the consent of Chef Wang himself. After all, with this relationship, if something goes wrong, things will be a mess!

But Shazhu refused to do it.

"That won't do. If I win, it won't be a glorious victory! Oh, my own daughter voted for me. If it gets out, won't it be like I'm bullying her?"

Xiao Weiguo didn't expect that this silly Zhu would actually clear his head at the critical moment.

Could it be that my little plan has gone wrong?

No!

So he waved his hand to signal the kitchen to add a side dish, and in less than two minutes a side dish was served.

"Jingjing, come here!"

When Xiao Weiguo waved at He Jingjing, Sha Zhu's eyelids twitched.

It's not that good things are coming, but that disaster is coming. My reputation will be ruined...

"No way. Jingjing just woke up, this kid is still groggy..."

"That won't do. Our child is so…"

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu tried to stop him, but they couldn't stop Xiao Weiguo.

"Shut up, you two. What does a kid know? I bet he doesn't even know which dish you cooked!"

Xiao Weiguo said this with certainty, and while Sha Zhu was hesitating, Xiao Weiguo had already brought He Jingjing up.

"Jingjing, look at these three dishes in front of you, which one was made by dad?"

He Jingjing was so tired after playing all day that she had no idea what had happened when she just woke up. As for who made these dishes, she had no idea at all.

However, looking at the three dishes in front of him, the little greedy cat instantly woke up.

After swallowing, he immediately perked up.

"Uncle, this dish must have been made by my stupid dad!"

Because Shazhu is too tired from cooking outside, the dishes he cooks at home are always a bit rough, and he has nothing to do with exquisite plating.

At this moment, He Jingjing thought that the last side dish was more like what his silly father would make!

Everyone at the scene was relieved. The child was really too young to understand anything!

There is no intention to cover up at all.

"Look how innocent this kid is. Everyone can see clearly what's going on with this dish. There's absolutely no way he can be wrong! So I suggest that the last vote be given to this kid. What do you think?"

The people at the scene all agreed and applauded. Chef Wang also had an indifferent attitude, as he understood Xiao Weiguo's good intentions.

If I win, it won't have much impact on Shazhu.

If I lose, then the step will naturally come, and it will definitely not have any impact on the restaurant. On the contrary, the restaurant will become more famous because of this competition!

But Shazhu was totally unwilling to do that!

"I disagree!"

"If you disagree, it's invalid. There are so many people in the room and you're the only one who disagrees. It doesn't count!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Weiguo retorted back, making Sha Zhu so angry that he put his hands on his hips and sighed behind him.

I can only pray silently that my biological daughter will be on my side...

Qin Huairu, who was standing aside, seemed to understand that Xiao Weiguo wanted to preserve the reputation of his restaurant. He used a child's last vote to decide the winner. Not only would it have no impact on the chefs of their restaurant, but it would increase everyone's favorability towards the restaurant.

But Shazhu is not optimistic regardless of winning or losing.

If we win, who knows what people will say about us!

Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In the end, it may be said that it was He Yuzhu's own daughter who voted for him, and the two of them are suspected of cheating.

If Sha Zhu lost, then when other people heard about it, they might think that Sha Zhu was sacrificed to save face for others.

No matter how you put it, it doesn't sound good!

The atmosphere was so lively at the beginning, if I tried to stop it, I might become a joke.

Qin Huairu could only choose to remain silent.

I'm just waiting to go home and teach Sha Zhu a lesson. He must never be fooled by such things again. Xiao Weiguo's brain is full of ideas. How can Sha Zhu be defeated by him?

Under the guidance of Xiao Weiguo, He Jingjing picked up the chopsticks and ate it in big mouthfuls. Chef Wang’s stuffed scallops with various flowers is the specialty of the restaurant!

Both the taste and the presentation are incomparable!

And Sha Zhu was smart this time and made a steamed chicken with straw mushrooms. This dish has a great origin and is a representative dish of Tan family cuisine. It is yellow and delicious in color, making people drool just by looking at it.

He Jingjing ate the chicken with big mouthfuls again. The cute expression on her face had already won the hearts of everyone present.

From time to time, voices of praise could be heard from the audience, "Master He is so lucky to have such a lovely daughter!"

"This little girl is so smart, who knows what dish she will choose later!"

"I think Chef Wang will win this round. The shrimps are so flavorful and delicious!"

"Yeah, I think so too! But this steamed chicken with mushrooms is said to be the originator of Tan's cuisine. Some high-ranking official back then loved to eat this! It's really good. In this round, the two are evenly matched."

……

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, while He Jingjing on the stage ate seriously over and over again, until her little belly was bulging.

"Jingjing, which dish do you think is more delicious?"

He Jingjing blinked her cute big eyes and hesitated, so Xiao Weiguo helped her.

He Jingjing was immediately annoyed when she quickly took away Sha Zhu's steamed chicken with straw mushrooms.

"No, I want to eat this!"

Xiao Weiguo nodded and took the other dish away.

He Jingjing stopped him again, "No, I haven't eaten enough!"

"Jingjing, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You can only choose one!"

Although He Jingjing doesn't understand what fish and bear's paw are, just sounding scary!

But he knew he had to make a choice.
