Chapter 42 Tasting
When Jiang Yang and the others returned to the venue, it was already past six in the evening.The sun is setting and the temperature is slowly dropping.Although it was still very hot, but without the scorching sun, more people came out to look for food.

Some tourists just come to play for a while and don't stay here all the time.There are also tourists who do not come early in the morning, but come at other times.Some people leave and others come, and the number of food festivals has not decreased.

The number of people gradually increased, those who rested no longer rested, and gradually surrounded each booth.Jiang Yang became busy again, but this time there were two people to help.

Both Zheng Hui and Meng Wanqiu were there, but Jiang Yang actually persuaded them to go and have fun.But one said that there were too many people and too crowded, and the other said that they had finished shopping in the morning.

Both of them stayed to help Jiang Yang, but in desperation, Jiang Yang could only accept it.

Lin Yong brought a few masters of culinary art circles from Sichuan Province here, all of them were old people, so they wouldn't be crowded with those young people.Lin Yong wouldn't let them go, if something happened, who would be responsible?Another reason is that there are too many people and there are many dishes to taste, so there is really not so much time to queue up one by one.

Lin Yong and others sat in the place arranged by the organizer, and all kinds of dishes were brought by the staff.

On the other side, the judging team from the Internet is also sitting upright, and they don't have to wait in line haha.

At Jiangyang's booth, a staff member with a red cuff on his sleeve separated from the crowd, walked up to Jiangyang, and said something in a low voice.Jiang Yang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.Not long after, more than 20 portions of tofu were ready, and Jiang Yang handed them over to the staff.

The staff took it away, and Jiang Yang said to the crowd: "I'm sorry, everyone, just now the organizer needed our food, saying it was for the review. I'm really sorry for delaying everyone's time."

Seeing Jiang Yang's sincere apology, everyone didn't care too much about it, even those who already had emotions didn't explode at the moment.

The same thing happened at other stalls.

The staff is very efficient and it didn't take too long to deliver all the delicacies one by one.Naturally, the cooking time of each kind of food is different, so the time when the food is sent back is also inconsistent.

The first is crucian carp claypot rice. This is not because the cooking time is short, but because one pot can make many servings.

Lin Yong looked at the claypot rice that was delivered, the portion was not much, about two or three mouthfuls per person.He said, "Everyone, this is Cantonese chef Jiang Ming's Claypot Rice with Crucian Carp. Everyone, try it."

Chen Quanzhou said: "Jiang Ming? A disciple of Jiang Zhizhou, a master of Cantonese cuisine?"

Lin Yong nodded and said, "I have some friendship with Jiang Zhizhou, and I invited his son to the food festival."

Everyone nodded, yes, if not for friendship, the master would send his disciples to participate in the food festival.Maybe it will follow this trend, but it's definitely not now.

Xu Zheng grinned and said, "Hmph! Let me see how much his old man Jiang's son is capable of."

Everyone smiled wryly, this one's mouth.With Xu Zheng taking the lead, no one said anything else, but took a bite of crucian carp claypot rice.

The rice tastes delicious, the fragrance of the rice and the deliciousness of the crucian carp perfectly blend.etc!This... the taste of the rice is waxy and soft, soft and elastic, so unique!

Lin Yong put down his spoon and said, "Everyone, tell me, how about this claypot rice with crucian carp?"

Mr. Jiang said: "Craucian carp soup, three kinds of rice, the cooking time is quite good. The rice fully absorbs the delicious taste of crucian carp soup, and the tastes of the three kinds of rice complement each other, making this dish more layered in taste. In short, There is nothing picky about the technique, and the taste is also very good.”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Mr. Jiang's statement.On the side, Xu Zheng said again: "Cut, why did Mr. Jiang say it so euphemistically? Isn't it because this dish hasn't found its soul yet."

Lin Yong couldn't help but glared at Xu Zheng, talking nonsense!He coughed a few times and said, "At Jiang Ming's age, it's normal if he hasn't found it yet."

Xu Zheng is dissatisfied, let me tell you the truth, why are you staring at me.He continued: "Hey, now old man Jiang may have no successors. This son has not been found at such an age. Could it be possible to place hope on his grandson? No, I forgot, he only has a granddaughter."

Chen Quanzhou's eyes jumped when he heard it, are you talking about me?He retorted lightly: "It's not like someone, who doesn't even have a successor under his knees."

Xu Zheng immediately blew his beard and stared, "Old man Chen, what did you say?"

Chen Quanzhou said lightly: "I didn't mention you, why are you so anxious? People of such an age still have the same temper."

Xu Zheng stood up, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Chen Quanzhou, if you are still a man, let's single out today!"

Chen Quanzhou glanced at him lightly and said, "Childish!"

"I can't take it anymore today, I'm going to beat you up today!" Xu Zheng yelled.

Lin Yong pressed his temples, he felt that it was a mistake to call Xu Zhenglai today.He said in a deep voice: "Enough! Xu Zheng sit down!"

Xu Zheng glanced at Chen Quanzhou in displeasure, snorted heavily, and sat down reluctantly.

"Xu Zheng, can't you just take care of your mouth?" Lin Yong looked at him with a headache and said.

Xu Zheng said in a muffled voice: "Anyway, it's been like this all my life, and I can't change it."

Lin Yong was helpless, since Xu Zheng couldn't get in, there was nothing he could do.Chen Quanzhou said again: "It's a miracle that they survived until this time and were not beaten to death."

When Xu Zheng heard this, he wanted to explode again.Lin Yong quickly glared at Chen Quanzhou and said, "You don't have to say a few words."

Chen Quanzhou did not speak again, anyway, he had the upper hand, and if he continued, he was afraid that Xu Zheng would be pissed to death.

Lin Yong said: "Since everyone has no other opinions, let's rate it."

Everyone immediately gave a score, and the staff at the side stepped forward and collected the signboard of the score, and they had to be responsible for entering it into the system.

Soon, the second course also came.This is the eggplant that was fried very fiercely before.

As soon as the dish was served, everyone looked at an old man in unison.It's no secret in the world of chefs that one dish was the old man's apprentice.

The old man's name is Sun Xuchao, and he is also a master of the generation. He has received many apprentices in his life, but the only one who has truly passed on his true inheritance is the chef of Juyuan.

Sun Xuchao has always been a kind person, and he is very popular in the circle.Although everyone knew about it, they didn't use it to laugh at him.Even Xu Zheng, who always kept his mouth shut, didn't open his mouth.

Everyone tasted the eggplant, but no one said a word. After a while, Jiang Lao, the oldest person, said: "No one has commented, so I will say a few words." Speaking of this, he glanced at Sun Xu Dynasty.

Sun Xuchao smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Jiang just speak up if he has something to say, don't worry about me."

Mr. Jiang nodded and said: "I have eaten this eggplant before, and even tried to make it. This eggplant tastes okay. The eggplant has the taste of chicken, and the crispy taste of the dried fruit matches the soft and rotten taste of the eggplant. They complement each other. All in all, this dish is not a good one, and generally speaking, it is just average. However, it is very spiritual that the eggplant can do this.”

Sun Xu smiled wryly, he knew that Mr. Jiang's last few words were just to comfort himself.He said: "Mr. Jiang is right, let's rate it. How much should be, and he should be taught a lesson."

Everyone nodded, no one refused.To be honest, if they were allowed to make false grades, it might not be possible.To be able to become a master here, first of all, the character must be decent. As the saying goes, teachers have teacher ethics, doctors have medical ethics, and chefs naturally have cooking ethics.If one's moral character is not good enough, one cannot be called a master.

Skipping the eggplant, the third dish is served, which is husband and wife lung slices.It stands to reason that husband and wife lung slices are also famous dishes, and its heir should also be a master.But in fact, there was no master of husband and wife lung slices present.

The reason is very simple. The previous generation of Husband and Wife Fei Pian's heir passed away, and the current heir is still not a master.

This time it was Xu Zheng who commented: "The red oil is good, spicy and delicious. The lo mei has some flaws, but the use of spices has always been quite difficult, which can be forgiven. The most unforgivable thing is that I eat his father's cooking. This smell, this son also has the same taste, after so many years, it hasn't improved at all!"

This time, the crowd did not refute Xu Zheng's words, yes, no change is the biggest step backward in their opinion.That's how it is in the culinary arts world. Although there are many so-called famous dishes, most of the ingredients required are quite demanding.And the rest, you will get tired of eating all the time.If diners get tired of it, it will be a disaster in the culinary world.So today's culinary art world is pursuing innovation.

Lin Yong finally said: "It's okay, he is still young. Who can say what will happen in the future?"

Next is the fourth dish, which is Chen Quanzhou's specialty dish - Mapo Tofu!
Xu Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'd like to see how much your son is as good as you are."

Everyone took a sip, and Xu Zheng said, "Hmph! Old man Chen, it seems that your son can't inherit your mantle! I thought your son was so powerful."

Chen Quanzhou's face was extremely ugly, Ma De, this Xu Zheng is going to be singled out, right?Today the old man will accompany you to the end... What a fart!Ma De, you still have muscles at such an age, you grew up eating beef!

Lin Yong glared at Xu Zheng and said, "Shut up!"

Xu Zheng didn't care, and hummed an unknown tune softly.It doesn't matter, anyway, he won a round.

Soon, it was Jiangyang's tofu's turn.When everyone heard it, they were all a little puzzled.Xu Zheng said: "Old man Chen, why does this taste so similar to your mapo tofu? Could it be your illegitimate child?"

Chen Quanzhou was also puzzled. Hearing what Xu Zhengyi said, he immediately replied, "Get lost! You have an illegitimate child! A dog can't spit out ivory!"

Xu Zheng was not annoyed, he continued: "No? What do you say about those smells?"

Chen Quanzhou was not in the mood to tell Xu Zheng at this time, and he was also extremely puzzled.Although Mapo Tofu is widely spread, as an heir, its natural taste is different from others.It can be said that without your own teaching, the taste of others will definitely be different.Could it be... is his grandson here?Impossible, he has already gone out, how could he appear at the food festival.
