The rich aroma of seafood hit your face, and the ultimate umami taste instantly diluted the smell of beef fried rice that was still lingering in everyone's cavity just now.

A platter of seafood with heavy gravy, this is more suitable to describe the food in front of you.

As they got closer and smelled it, a strong aroma of green onions penetrated their nostrils, making several people feel itchy.

Just based on this taste, the well-informed judges instantly determined that the dish in front of them used the method of roasting sea cucumbers with green onions.

This is the cooking method of Baijia cuisine, which is the most important dish. As the master of Yuecai, it is not inconceivable that Xinyuexuan would learn its methods from it.

Lin Ying picked up the small bowl and took a spoonful of the food in front of her.

The seafood is mixed with the soup, but it's not too heavy.

The color of the soup seemed a bit strong, but when she began to taste the taste in her mouth, she could only recall the rich aroma of green onions and seafood.

The whole dish is moderately salty, and you can tell that the taste has been carefully adjusted. There is no problem even if you eat it with your mouth empty.

The flavor of the scallop meat did not take away the sea cucumber. Each ingredient was soaked in the scallion sauce, and the thick gravy completely isolated each ingredient without any off-flavor.

The shrimps are smooth, the abalone is tender, and the sea cucumbers are chewy. The chef has used each ingredient to its full potential.

Just a few bites of the seafood platter made the judges present feel like they were in the vast deep sea and couldn't extricate themselves.

Of course, there is an exception.

Although as a judge he had to taste the dishes of the contestants, Zhongli only tasted this luxurious seafood dish briefly before putting down his chopsticks and waiting for the evaluation of the other judges.

After all, he doesn't like seafood very much.

Just talking about the seafood itself, the taste is really good, and you can even vaguely touch the shadows of famous chefs in history.

But that's all.

Zhongli sighed softly and shook his head.

It is obviously a whole plate of seafood, and the flavors of each ingredient are not mixed up with each other, which is praised. However, there is also a lack of linkage between the ingredients. Each ingredient seems to exist independently on the plate, which is extremely fragmented.

And because sea cucumbers are used to highlight the flavor of other seafood, the scallion-flavored sauce is too biased towards sea cucumbers, so that the aroma of other seafood is not fully brought out.

Not to mention anything else, the scallop meat alone has certain flaws. The seafood smell is too strong. It is so strong that even after it breaks through the onion sauce, there is still a certain amount of flavor remaining, and the remaining flavor is also too strong to produce a slight fishy taste.

Level of taste.

With these advantages and disadvantages, in Zhongli's opinion, this dish is just a mediocre dish. It is not as amazing as the previous wandering chef's technique, and the taste is just the same, so he only gave it eight points.

"Well! It's time to announce the results!"

Watching the judges gradually put down their bowls and chopsticks, pick up a pen to write and draw on the cardboard, the host on the field also began to warm up the results.

"One of our favorite teams to win the championship, No. 163's score is - 64 points! One point higher than the first player on the stage!"

Listening to the host's words, Zhong Li used his peripheral vision to glance at the scores given by the people around him.

Even though he gave eight points, the total score can still reach 63 points, which means that at least two people gave full marks. Who are they?

The old man Yuan Chengdao on his left only gave him nine points, which was the same score as before. Ke Qing also gave him nine points. Among the remaining people...

His gaze extended forward, and sure enough, in Kong Lingshan's hand was holding a large piece of cardboard with ten points written on it.

Another person who gave full marks was Lin Ying, who had tasted the food for the first time. Seeing how eager she was before, she must have liked seafood very much, so it was not surprising that she gave such a high score.

But if he remembered correctly, judge Lin Ying seemed to be from the same family as Chef Lin from Liuliting?

Zhongli shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

"Mr. Zhongli's standards are really strict."

The girl next to him spoke to him for the first time, perhaps because the bright eight points were too prominent, which aroused Keqing's curiosity.

In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with the food just now.

"It's nothing, it's just that I will be more cautious when it comes to seafood."

Zhongli, who was reluctant to let others know his weaknesses, cleverly used words to avoid Keqing's inquiries.

"oh."

Zhongli's words sounded reasonable, but Ke Qing always felt that something was wrong.

While a few people were still reminiscing about the seafood dishes just now, the people from Liuliting followed the example of the people from Xinyuexuan and served the food themselves.

Before their hands could fall, the host on the stage exclaimed again.

"Oh! Team No. 256 actually... actually carved seven statues. What kind of knife skills is this!"

The dishes placed in front of these judges, aside from the piece of meat at the bottom, the radish statue on top is very eye-catching.

The whole statue, which is like white jade, is like a living person placed on a plate, lifelike.

Every line, pattern, and expression on the face is so detailed that it's amazing.

"This is...Mr. Yun and her group of disciples."

Lian Yu adjusted his glasses and carefully observed the statue in front of him.

There are seven statues, each with a different appearance, movements and expressions.

To make something like this, I'm afraid it takes a lot of effort, and you also need to have excellent knife skills. It's almost as complicated as the young boy stuffing minced beef into rice grains.

"But in a cooking competition, the most important thing is the taste."

After looking at it for a while, Lian Yu picked up the chopsticks at hand and reached for the food at the bottom of the plate.

From the appearance, it looks like a cut piece of meat, drizzled with sauce, and sitting quietly on the plate.

Compared with the previous Xinyue Xuan, which had extremely large portions, Liuliting's dishes are extremely conservative in terms of quantity.

There were only five pieces of meat on the entire plate, and besides that there was only the sauce and the huge radish statue.

It's simply gone astray.

The meat is brownish red in color and becomes even richer after being topped with sauce.

It must have been roasted and then processed in some way.

When it enters the mouth, the aroma of beef comes, and the thick fat bursts out along with the sauce in the mouth.

The classic salty taste, with a bit of braised flavor and the aroma of mushrooms.

The three flavors, accompanied by the texture of beef, instantly elevate the taste of the dish itself to a new level.

However, this is considered the normal level of a top chef, and it cannot be said to be so amazing.

Lian Yu turned his attention to the next few pieces of meat.

After tasting them one by one, he figured out the true essence of the dish.

Beef, mutton, pork, chicken, duck.

One of each of the five types of meat is grilled and then drizzled with braised sauce, which highlights the aroma of the meat itself.

Well, it feels like the food at Xinyue Xuan before, almost on the same level.

Lian Yu looked around and found that the other people had similar expressions on their faces.

In the end, the score of everyone in Liuliting was locked on a subtle number - 64 points. If you like Genshin Impact, Spear Still, please collect it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Genshin Impact, Spear Still, search and read novel network update speed all over the network
