This time, the head chef made the scallion noodles very carefully. When he was making the noodles just now, he had been paying attention to the heat and didn't pay attention to anything around him. He didn't even know the reactions of the judges.
He was very satisfied with the scallion noodles he made this time. When he was young, the head chef's family was very poor and there was nothing delicious to eat. Every birthday, the head chef's mother would make scallion noodles for him. At that time, the most delicious thing for him was scallion noodles. Noodles made of fine white flour with some scallions and sesame oil were the most delicious food in the world.
He learned how to make scallion noodles from his mother when he was young and liked to study it himself. He found that the noodles had to be kneaded just right to make them more chewy. This kind of noodles couldn't be completely fermented and had to be stopped before it was completely fermented. This way, the noodles could maintain the chewiness of the noodles and avoid any flavor from fermentation. This fermentation process was very difficult to control. He explored it completely by himself and finally summed up his experience.
The main ingredient of scallion noodles was the noodles, followed by the heat.
If he wanted the noodles to taste better, the heat had to be controlled well. Just exploring the heat took him more than ten years and finally found his own way. If not, he wouldn't have won the first place in the gourmet food competition with a simple bowl of scallion noodles.
This was the first place, the only first place. In addition to this first place, his scallion noodles had won many other awards, which were enough to prove the extraordinariness of his scallion noodles.
After losing the duck blood and vermicelli soup to Gu Zheng, he calmed down and started to make his onion noodles. He didn't dare to say that this was the best onion noodles he had ever made, but it was at least better than the one he had made when he won first place in the previous competition. This was also the most satisfying dish he had made in recent years. He was very confident now. This was the best dish he could make at the moment, and it was also the pinnacle of his work in recent years.
It was a pity that he didn't see how the judges ate the fried eggs just now. If he did, he didn't know if his confidence would be so big.
The 11 judges, except for President Hua, were all sitting there and looking at the scallion noodles in front of them with some strange expressions.
To be honest, they didn't want to taste the scallion noodles at this time because the aftertaste of the fried eggs was still in their mouths. They didn't want to destroy this aftertaste, especially the judge who spat out the duck blood and vermicelli soup.
This kind of thing had happened once, and he didn't want it to happen again.
"Come on!"
After hesitating for a while, Mr. Gao finally spoke. They were judges, and they couldn't give up tasting because of their own preferences. That would be too unprofessional, and they couldn't do such a thing.
After rinsing his mouth to reduce the aftertaste of the fried eggs, Mr. Gao first picked up the spoon and drank a mouthful of soup. His eyes showed a bit of surprise. Although the soup was light, it didn't lose its freshness. It was just not as refreshing as Gu Zheng's duck blood and vermicelli soup.
After drinking the soup, Elder Gao picked up his chopsticks and gently took a small bite of the noodles.
The chewiness of the noodles made him even more surprised, and he couldn't help but bite down on the noodles. The clear soup had a little fragrance of chopped green onions, and together with the unique refreshing taste of the slender noodles, the taste was indeed very good. Only in terms of taste, the scallion noodles tasted much better than the duck blood and vermicelli soup he made.
"It's okay. It's better than I thought!"
Said another judge. He had also tasted the head chef's onion noodles. The noodles were really good. It was not easy to make such a taste with such simple ingredients. He gave a pertinent evaluation.
The other judges also nodded. Although it was a pity that the onion noodles diluted the aftertaste of the fried eggs, at least the noodles didn't disappoint everyone. It was already an excellent existence among noodles, and no one could compare to it among onion noodles.
However, it was a pity that Gu Zheng's fried eggs were in front. No matter how delicious the onion noodles were, they could only say sorry.
Many of the judges were also sighing. Whether it was Gu Zheng's fried eggs or the head chef's onion noodles, they were all first-class delicacies. If these two dishes were to participate in other competitions, they would definitely get a good ranking. It was a pity that they met each other, and in such a small challenge competition. It was really a pity.
"Let's start the scoring!"
Elder Gao said. As soon as he finished speaking, the venue quieted down. The host typed quickly. The scoring was about to start. He still had to interact in the live broadcast room. Now, the number of people in the live broadcast room had exceeded 40,000.
He wasn't a famous host on the live broadcast channel. If he was, he wouldn't be allowed to host such a small competition. Now, the live broadcast room with 40,000 people online was the peak of his hosting career. It was much better than some of the legal advice, horoscopes, and so on that he had hosted before.
Therefore, this time, he was very attentive and serious.
"The judges didn't score separately like before. Instead, they finished eating the food made by the two of them. Elder Gao of the Food Association was the first to score. He gave No Competition five points and gave the head chef 4.5 points. Currently, No Competition is leading by half a point. This is the first time a score of less than half a point has appeared today!"
4.5 points was Elder Gao's score for the head chef. This onion noodles was indeed better than the duck blood and vermicelli soup from before, so he gave him half a point more. However, that was all.
Previously, there was no rule that said no points could be given. This was a small challenge competition, and the rules weren't so detailed at the beginning. Since there were no rules, Elder Gao didn't break the rules. His score was within the limit. President Hua opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
"There's no need to look. I can guarantee that the winner will definitely be No Competition!"
"That's right. If his fried eggs can't win, then there's no justice!"
"For his fried eggs, I ate instant noodles for two weeks. His fried eggs are too expensive. The most despicable thing is that there's a limited purchase. We have to bring people to buy them, and we even have to give a portion to others. You don't know how much my heart ached when I gave it away!"
"My heart ached too. The No Competition rule is too deceptive!"
"My heart ached too. In the past, I didn't know who the fried egg chef was. Now that I know who No Competition is, I must get him to remove this annoying rule. Otherwise, I'll go to his articles every day to scold him!"
"Agreed. Remove the rule!"
In the live broadcast room, a group of people who had eaten Gu Zheng's fried eggs were discussing enthusiastically. The others were even more curious. After such a long time, the situation of Gu Zheng's fried eggs had basically been explained by the people who had eaten them. They also knew about Gu Zheng's rules.
The fried eggs were very expensive, and there was a limited purchase. Not only could each person buy one, but they could only buy one for their entire life. If they wanted to eat more, they had to get someone else to buy it and give them a portion. Many people expressed their disbelief. How could there be such a strange rule? If there really was such a rule, wouldn't it scare people away? How could there be anyone who would eat it?
However, everyone who had eaten the fried eggs unanimously expressed that there was indeed such a rule. Some people even sent photos taken by the host in the live broadcast room, asking the host to send them to everyone. The users in the live broadcast room didn't have the right to send photos.
It was clearly written in black and white: 88 fried eggs, limited to one per person.
Seeing this picture, even the host was speechless. There really was such a rule. The key was that such a rule didn't stop the diners. They still rushed to buy. According to the description of the users who had eaten the fried eggs, they had to line up every day. The number of fried eggs increased every day, but it was still sold out every day. Those who were late couldn't even get a number.
This was enough to show that the No Competition fried eggs were indeed delicious. No wonder these people who had eaten the fried eggs had so much confidence in him.
