MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 66
"What's this smell?" Someone asked dizzily, there was wine and meat, the two mixed together, it was like a forest of meat in a pool of wine, which made people feel smoky.
Smell it carefully, the wine seems to be Huadiao, what about the meat, why is the meat so fragrant?
"Could it be fairy meat?" Some people couldn't help drooling, and their eyes were fixed on Jiang Yunzhu's jar.
Fairy meat, is it fairy meat?
It must be, otherwise why is it so fragrant.
"No, I can't take it anymore, I want to eat." Some impatient people yelled. Just what to eat? Go home and eat steamed buns? I can also eat several, but I am not reconciled! After smelling such a delicious smell, I can only eat steamed buns.
Some people are envious of the judges on the stage. If they knew this, he would also be a judge. Among those people on the stage, some are not as good as him!
"When will Qishanju open for business?" Suddenly a person shouted loudly, and everyone immediately supported him.
Yes, what time does it open? They can't wait to get in and eat.
This game seems to be a best-of-three game. Now that the second dish has been prepared, it is obvious that the things in Jiang Yunzhu's jar are more fragrant. If she wins this game, the whole game can be over.
There was a lot of noise below, shopkeeper Song, shopkeeper Meng and Gao Shun all looked ugly.
Shopkeeper Meng looked at Shopkeeper Song with an anxious expression on his face. Didn't he say that they would definitely win? What should we do now.
Shopkeeper Song didn't bother to hide his identity at this time. In order to win this game, he had spent all his money. If he lost...
He walked to the edge of the stage and tugged on Gao Shun's clothes, which means, think of a way.
Gao Shun couldn't believe it, but was angry at the same time. He didn't know what Jiang Yunzhu was doing in that jar, but he also knew that he lost this game. He actually lost at the hands of a woman. If this was reported back to Luzhou, wouldn't he lose all face?
He clenched his fists, first stared at Jiang Yunzhu closely, and then looked at the judges.
At this time, the attendants had already started to distribute the dishes to the judges. Gao Shun's dishes were prepared first, so this time, he still distributed his dishes first.
Old duck meat, pheasant meat, and pigeon meat, each share a little bit for the judges, and then pour a spoonful of soup.
The attendants did it carefully, but unfortunately no one cared at all. Everyone just wanted to know what was in Jiang Yunzhu's jar and why it was so fragrant.
The attendant began to divide the contents of Jiang Yunzhu's jar, which was a bit difficult to divide, because there were fifty-eight kinds of materials in this jar, and each ingredient was so small that it was not enough for eleven judges to divide. In the end, the attendants just closed their eyes and fished from the jar, and gave the judges what they got.
Fish it out for Mengzhi County first, and put it in the small bowl in front of him, only to find a piece of sea cucumber, a piece of tendon, and a piece of quail egg inside.
Meng Zhixian licked his lips.
Then fish for the ten young masters, the first one got abalone, fish lips and a piece of flower mushroom.
The young man looked at the contents of the small bowl, and it took a lot of effort to resist eating immediately without a spoon.
Then came the second son, the third, and the fourth... they were picked up one by one, and there were almost no duplicates.
It wasn't until the dishes were set in front of all the judges that Meng Zhixian smiled and said, "Everyone have a taste and see which dish is better."
Do you still need to taste it? It was clear at a glance who would win and who would lose. It was obvious that Jiang Yunzhu's dishes were fresher.
But the cutscene still has to go, everyone agreed and picked up the spoon.
Scoop a piece of abalone into your mouth. The abalone is already fresh, but now it has a few more layers of thick taste, but it does not damage the taste of the abalone itself. I only feel that the taste of the abalone has been stimulated to the extreme.
There is also the soft and glutinous taste of abalone, which is also vividly reflected in this dish.
Instead of eating abalone, eat a piece of mushroom. Putting the flower mushroom into the mouth, the person who ate it was immediately stunned. Is this flower mushroom? Meaty but not greasy, rotten but not rotten, this flower mushroom is even more fragrant and delicious than meat.
There are only two or three pieces of food in each person's bowl. This time, even Mengzhi County didn't taste it carefully, so he put all the food in his mouth, and felt that the various flavors were like waves, one after another, crashing. Human taste buds and nerves.
Until there is only a little soup left at the bottom of the bowl.
This soup is different from ordinary stock, it is very heavy in color, brown in color, and looks strong in taste, not like soup, like stew juice.
Generally, this kind of juice is undrinkable, the taste is too strong.
But everyone still couldn't help but want to try it, and they all scooped up a little soup and put it in their mouths.
To everyone's surprise, this soup is thick but not greasy, and it is also delicious.
Everyone immediately drank up the soup at the bottom of the bowl, but they still couldn't get enough.
Hearing the shouts below, "Qishanju is open quickly", they actually wanted to end the competition, and then had a hearty meal.
But this cutscene still had to go, they rinsed their mouths, and began to taste the three sets of ducks made by Gao Shun.
Very fresh taste, the meat of the male duck is firm, the meat of the pheasant is soft and elastic, and the meat of the young pigeon is tender and smooth. The combination of the three is perfect. This three-set duck is definitely a rare delicacy.
Unfortunately, it met Jiang Yunzhu's dish...by the way, what's the name of this dish? Mengzhi County asked Jiang Yunzhu.
"Buddha jumped over the wall." Jiang Yunzhu replied.
"What a Buddha jumps over the wall." Meng Zhixian praised, the Buddha smelled it and wanted to jump over the wall to eat it. The name is really appropriate!
The voting began, and the ten sons still voted first.
The first young man picked up the spoon and was about to walk towards the Buddha Jumping Wall when suddenly, Gao Shun said, "Everyone, I'm not bragging, Master Hou likes to eat the three sets of ducks I made. He said that in Zhongnan, if I Called the second, no one dares to call the first."
After speaking, he looked at the judges one by one.
Everyone he saw was a little surprised, what did he mean?
Gao Shun's meaning was obvious. Anpinghou said his food was good, but they said his food was not as good as that of an unknown girl. Was it Anpinghou's fault, or were they wrong?
After the ten sons were upset, they all thought of a lot. Beating a dog depends on the owner. Gao Shun lost face here today. If Marquis Anping is magnanimous, he should know that Gao Shun is not good at learning. But if Marquis Anping has misunderstood, or someone is sowing discord in front of him?
These people have a small reputation in Wuling County, but how can they compare with Anping Hou Mansion! A little finger from someone can ruin their family.
Take a step back, even if Marquis Anping doesn't care about this matter, Gao Shun will definitely bear a grudge against them. The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, I heard that he has a good face in front of the Marquis of Anping, if he retaliates afterwards...
The faces of the ten sons changed.
Gao Shun stood there with arms folded, carefully looking at everyone one by one, as if he wanted to keep their appearance and reactions in mind, and then... definitely nothing good will happen.
The ten sons were angry again, but they didn't dare to show it. They all looked at Mengzhi County.
Meng Zhixian was very annoyed when he heard that Gao Shun threatened everyone, but he was also a little afraid of Anpinghou. After more than ten years of hard work, he won the Jinshi examination and got the official position of a county magistrate. What if he lost it because of this trivial matter?
Yes, he also knows that a man would rather bend than bend, and a gentleman will do something and not do something... But the truth is the truth, and when things happen, there are still a few who can get out of it. Otherwise, there are so many dynasties and so many officials. Several names are left in history.
Mengzhi County did not speak.
His silence made Gao Shun excited. He looked at Jiang Yunzhu proudly. She is good at cooking, so what can she do? The one who wins in the end has to be him.
Shopkeeper Song and Shopkeeper Meng thought they were doomed, but they didn't expect such a turnaround, and they were overjoyed immediately.
It was about to vote, but the stage suddenly fell silent, and the people in the audience started to shout.
"Voting, I'm starving to death. After voting, Qishanju opened the door quickly, waiting for dinner." This is someone who doesn't know why.
"Is the Marquis of Anping's mansion amazing? It's obviously not as good as others." Someone knew Gao Shun's meaning and whispered, apologizing for Jiang Yunzhu.
"Of course the Marquis of Anping is amazing." Someone sighed, feeling that this competition is boring, just like this world, the rich do whatever they want, and the poor, even though their strength surpasses everyone, they still lose miserably in the end.
…
Everyone was discussing, but Xue Jing and others were filled with righteous indignation. Everyone could see what those people were doing. Jiang Yunzhu won. Did they really want to favor Gao Shun? That day has not been posted!
Xie Lian nervously held Xie Chen's hand.
Xie Chen's already slightly frowned eyebrows frowned even tighter.
Gu Yanzhou's face was also slightly gloomy, and he was about to say something, when a golden and jade-like voice said, "Marquis of Anping, is it amazing?" It was Lin Yubai.
He also can't understand this matter, and, does he think these people on stage are looking for death? Therefore, he decided to kindly remind them that it's not yet the turn of Marquis Anping to cover the sky with his hands in Luzhou.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him. Immediately, everyone felt that their eyes lit up. This young man looks so handsome.
Gao Shun really knew Lin Yubai, and his face immediately changed. If others said that about Anpinghou, he would naturally have something to say, but Mrs. Lin Fu Lin's family seemed to be really not afraid of Anpinghou.
"This chef said that he is the number one in Central South, so he is the number one in Central South? He is not good at cooking. If he becomes the number one because of his words today, and spread the word in the future, wouldn't it make people laugh?" Gu Yanzhou said lightly.
Everyone heard it, yes, if Gao Shun really wins today, Wuling County's reputation in the future may be rotten against the wind.
"A fox pretends to be a tiger, and a dog takes advantage of others. The Marquis of Anping may not know what he is doing at all, or the Marquis might be the first one to let him go." Xie Chen snorted.
With his words, even if Marquis Anping wanted to shield Gao Shun, he couldn't hold back his face.
Hearing this, Gu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chen, he knew him, he seemed to be helping at Qishanju.
Xie Chen also remembers Gu Yanzhou, the day Qishanju opened, he brought people to congratulate him, he and Jiang Yunzhu should have a close relationship.
The two looked at each other and nodded to each other.
The two of them sang together, which instantly ignited everyone's emotions. Everyone shouted, let Gao Shun step down quickly, let the judges judge Jiang Yunzhu as the winner, and Qishanju hurriedly opened.
Meng Zhixian and others were also awakened by Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen's words. They don't have to be so afraid of Gao Shun. If they all sentenced him to lose, would he have to deal with everyone? On the contrary, it is embarrassing for them to be so timid.
Meng Zhixian stood up, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then took the lead in putting the spoon in his hand on the plate representing Buddha Jumping Wall. He felt that Buddha Jumping Wall was better than three sets of ducks.
Then came the ten young masters. This time, all of them voted for Buddha Tiaoqiang.
"Qishan Jufo jumps over the wall, eleven spoons, Xishanju three sets of ducks, no spoons." The master of ceremonies announced the judges' selection results.
In the last match, Gao Shun still had two spoons, so he still had a fig leaf. In this match, even his last fig leaf was torn off.
No spoon! Everyone cheered.
The result of this competition has been decided, and the master of ceremonies directly announced, "Qi Shanju wins the second dish competition, and Qi Shanju wins the entire culinary competition!"
"We won, we won, we won." Chen Shi held Jiang Cheng's hand, weeping with joy. Finally won, her heart almost jumped out just now, fortunately, fortunately!
"Yeah." Jiang Cheng smiled.
"The boss won, the boss is mighty." Xue Jing shouted there.
He yelled the loudest, and Jiang Yunzhu could hear his voice on the stage, so he couldn't help smiling.
She didn't expect Gao Shun to use the Anping Marquis Mansion to suppress people just now. As a chef, he doesn't even have the courage to admit his failure, so it seems that he is just like that.
She wasn't too worried about Mengzhi County or the ten judges being intimidated by him. She knew exactly what kind of people Anping Hou and Lin Ting'an were. As Xie Chen said, it was impossible for them to stand up for Gao Shun. On the contrary, if they knew about it, they would definitely make him go around.
However, she still thanked Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen for their help. By the way, there is also that handsome young man.
But these are not busy, there is one thing to deal with quickly.
Jiang Yunzhu took out the competition contract she had signed with shopkeeper Meng, and said to shopkeeper Meng, "Treasurer Meng, I won, can I bring the house and land deeds of Xishanju with me?"
Shopkeeper Meng was still in a dream, he couldn't believe it, he lost. Hearing Jiang Yunzhu's words, he subconsciously looked at shopkeeper Song. This matter still has to... there is no shadow of shopkeeper Song.
Shopkeeper Song saw that something was wrong just now, so he slipped away.
Shopkeeper Meng only felt that his eyes were darkened, and he thought that he might as well faint.
Hearing Jiang Yunzhu's words, Meng Zhixian said to Butou Hu, "I'll leave the rest to you." Then he got into the sedan chair and left.
Hu Butou naturally knew what Mengzhi County meant, and immediately said to shopkeeper Meng, "Shopkeeper Meng, I would like to admit defeat. Don't get dizzy. If you get dizzy, our brothers have to wake you up. It's so cold, don't put it on your head again." You're freezing."
Who are these police officers? They are used to all kinds of rogues. As long as they want to, they will definitely have a way to make you submit.
Shopkeeper Meng stopped halfway, and he said bitterly, "Boss Hu, my house and land deeds are all in my hometown, can you give me a few more days?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll send you to prison. When will your family get the deed and land deed, and when will I let you out?" Hu Butou said.
Shopkeeper Meng hurriedly waved his hand, prison, is that a place for people to stay?
Immediately, two policemen followed him home and brought the house deed and land deed of Xishanju.
Shopkeeper Meng's daughter-in-law was crying, beating and rolling, but it didn't help.
When the arrester was about to leave, she scolded shopkeeper Meng loudly, saying that he was fooled, and he wanted to make a lot of money. Now it's all right, even the shop is lost, what should we do next?
Shopkeeper Meng was also very angry. If Shopkeeper Song hadn't insisted that they would not lose, he would never have signed the contract.
"It's just being used as a knife!" His daughter-in-law scolded again.
Shopkeeper Meng immediately went to shopkeeper Song. He said that if he really lost, he would pay his shop money. Now he wants to hide, but there is no way.
It's a pity that he didn't see Shopkeeper Song at all.
Shopkeeper Song is also having a hard time now. Gao Shun lost his face this time, and when he got off the stage, he took all his anger on him, but he could only bear it.
Now he doesn't want to see anyone, especially shopkeeper Meng.
Shopkeeper Meng knew that he was avoiding him on purpose, but how could he give up so easily.
The two had a complete quarrel and became enemies.
The two catchers came back quickly and handed over the title deed of Xishanju to Butou Hu. Butou Hu changed hands and handed two things to Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu took it, "Thank you, if you are not busy, why not come to Qishanju, and I will cook some dishes to thank you."
Hu Butou was just about to eat Qishanju's food, otherwise he wouldn't have forced shopkeeper Meng like this, just wanting to sell favors to Jiang Yunzhu.
Now that Jiang Yunzhu accepted the favor and invited him to dinner immediately, he was of course happy, "Not busy, not busy."
Jiang Yunzhu turned around and said to everyone, "Qishanju is now open, everyone is welcome!"
"Hurry up and open the door, I'm just waiting to eat your food."
"Boss is good at craftsmanship, I will recognize your family in the future."
"Boss Jiang, when can I order that paper-wrapped chicken jumping over the wall?"
"Yeah, yeah." They wanted to eat too.
…
At this time, Xue Jing opened the door of Qishanju, and everyone was afraid that they would not have a place if they went late, so they rushed into the store without talking to Jiang Yunzhu.
After a while, the store was overcrowded.
Li He, Chen's family including Jiang Cheng and others hurried to greet the guests.
The surroundings suddenly became empty, only Shen Fengming was left standing there.
Jiang Yunzhu met his eyes and smiled, "I won."
"I know." Shen Fengming said, he had been looking at her.
The two just looked at each other, and for a moment, Jiang Yunzhu seemed to see a smile in Shen Fengming's eyes.
After working for a long time, I finally sent away all the customers in the store, and everyone in the store had time to eat and rest at this time.
Everyone slumped in their seats.
Suddenly, Xue Jing asked, "Boss, is the next door really yours?"
Everyone was in high spirits. Although they already knew, they still wanted to hear Jiang Yunzhu say it himself.
"Yes!" Jiang Yunzhu laughed. She won a shop for nothing, and it was still well decorated. She was in a good mood at the moment.
Everyone was happy, "Boss, have you got through?" Xue Jing asked. In this way, in terms of scale, Qishanju is not inferior to Baofulou, and it can be regarded as one of the best restaurants in the county.
This... Jiang Yunzhu got up and went outside.
Everyone quickly followed, and in a short while, they all stood in front of the gate of Xishanju.
"I'll get this plaque off first, it's an eyesore," Xue Jing said. Immediately, he moved up the ladder and threw the original plaque aside.
It looks better now.
Jiang Yunzhu stepped inside and carefully inspected the decoration inside.
Not to mention, Song and Meng's decoration is really good, and they can almost be used directly.
Jiang Yunzhu stood there, looking at the next door, get through? Or do something else.
