Chapter 526 [Enter the meal with force]
The judges' discussions soon came to an end. They decided to taste the roast goose. After all, there were so many viewers on site, and Dongxing TV was broadcast live, which would be broadcast on the satellite that night. If they were not even willing to taste it, they would turn Tu Yantao out, and their authority and impartiality would be questioned.
Of course, Long Tingbi would not change his mind. Liu Xianyang and several other judges tasted a roast goose. After eating, the few people remained silent. From the expressions on their faces, they could not tell whether they praised or detracted from the dish. Finally, Liu Xianyang asked: "What is the name of this roast goose?"
Tu Yantao's expression was indifferent, and his eyes showed a faint arrogance: "The fire dragon plays with the phoenix!"
Several judges showed a sudden enlightenment. When he recalled the scene when he was just making a roast goose, under his control, there were two fire dragons dancing around the roast goose. The scene is still deeply imprinted in everyone's mind, like a demon nightmare that cannot be erased. No one could have imagined that the young chef's manipulation of fire could have reached the point of being free to do whatever he wanted.
Long Tingbi said coldly: "Sensationalism, flashy but unreal!"
Tu Yantao looked at Long Tingbi indifferently without reacting excessively.
The judges on the scene began to score, and Long Ying successfully advanced without any suspense. Although Long Tingbi opposed Tu Yantao's affairs, several other judges reached an unanimous opinion, believing that Tu Yantao should advance. The comprehensive quality he showed in the competition was by no means sensational. His cooking skills are not only full of viewing, but also the works he produced are also quite delicious.
After the jury announced three promotion places, there was a thunderous cheer on the scene, and reporters from all media surrounded Tu Yantao. Tu Yantao was cold and low-key. He did not say a word when facing reporters' questions, and relied on his strong advantage to squeeze out the surrounding circle of reporters.
Kong Xiangyu had never had the chance to talk to this childhood friend. Seeing Tu Yantao pushing away the crowd and walking towards him, he hurriedly met him. Tu Yantao did not seem to recognize him, and passed by him, without even looking at him.
Kong Xiangyu shouted behind his back: "Slug!"
Tu Yantao still had no reaction and walked out of the arena with great strides, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.
Kong Xiangyu looked at his back and felt lost. He thought that this childhood nickname could awaken Tu Yantao's past memories, but he did not expect that he was indifferent.
Although Su Le was also shocked by Tu Yantao's performance, he did not pay too much attention. The competition will continue. It can be foreseeable that Tu Yantao's excitement will continue. Having players of this level joining is a good thing for this competition. It not only attracts more attention, but also can just smash Long Tingbi's trick. Judging from today's performance on the field, Tu Yantao's level is no less than Long Ying. Although Su Le did not taste the dishes made by Tu Yantao himself, since several expert judges have made affirmations, I think it would not be too bad.
Su Le has been paying attention to the old beggar Zhuangqiong's movements. Before the preliminary results were announced, he saw Zhuangqiong get up and leave, and Su Le quietly followed him out.
After Zhuang Qiong left the house, he seemed to know that Su Le was going to follow him, so he slowed down. Su Le walked forward quickly, but heard a subtle voice saying, "I'll go to Mala Shop to wait for you."
Mala Shop is a small shop near Daxiangkou. It does not belong to the commercial district of Daxiangkou. It is very close to Caiyun Bridge. Su Le knows that place, but he has never eaten there before.
After saying that, Zhuang Qiong quickly walked towards Caiyun Bridge, and in a blink of an eye, he pulled Su Le a long distance away.
Su Le did not rush to chase him. Zhuang Qiong was so anxious to distance himself, so he didn't want others to see them together. Su Le looked around. Although there were people coming and going around, no one paid attention to the matter between them. Convinced that no one was following him, Su Le slowly walked towards the Mala Shop.
The spicy shop is actually a Sichuan-style spicy hotpot. The business in the shop is very light and it is not a prosperous area. In addition, the cooking competition is being held at the entrance of the big alley recently, so few diners have also taken advantage of the place to join in the fun. The spicy shop is even more deserted.
The old beggar's village was already here before, and he chose a window-to-window location on the second floor. When Su Le arrived, the bright red pot in front of the old beggar had already boiled and the dishes had already been ordered.
Su Le came to sit opposite Zhuangqiong, grinned and smiled at him.
Zhuang Qiong said, "I laughed so hard, I don't have money, please!"
Su Le was flattered and said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Zhuang Qiong called Sanjin Taidiao, and Su Le was busy pouring it on him. He still respected this master very much. Whether Zhuang Qiongcheng admits it or not, he is the legitimate disciple of the old man.
Zhuang Qiong drank the bowl of Taidiao wine in front of him, pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth, smashing it.
Su Le took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth, looking at Zhuangqian with a longing. Neither of them was busy with the pot of shabu, and let the pot of red beauty roll in front of her eyes.
Zhuang Qiong said, "Boy, why are you looking at me? Are you good-looking?"
Su Le said: "Are you always afraid that others will know your whereabouts. Why do you come to such an occasion today? Are you not afraid that your old friends will recognize you?"
Zhuang Qiong narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Le filling himself again. He picked up the bowl of wine and did not rush to drink it. Instead, he sighed and said, "The next wave of the Yangtze River pushes the previous wave, and the previous wave dies on the beach."
Su Le smiled and said, "Don't be so depressed. I didn't want to slap you to death on the beach. I always respect you very much in my heart."
Zhuang Qiong picked up the cup and touched him: "Do it!"
Su Le raised his neck and drank the wine in the bowl cleanly, but his drinking speed was far from comparable to Zhuangqiong. He put down the cup, Zhuangqiong had already grabbed the jar of wine and filled it with it himself, and wanted to pour it on Su Le again. Su Le said: "Don't, you are going to kill me."
Zhuang Qiong said, "Not so much nonsense, I can't eat your food for nothing. It's nothing to pour you a glass of wine." He filled the empty bowl in front of Su Le, put down the jar of wine, picked up the bowl and said, "It's done!"
Su Le blinked his eyes. It turned out that this old beggar was about to get himself dizzy. Three pounds of wine were too mortal, so there shouldn't be much problem. Su Le wouldn't be able to drink with his master and wouldn't be able to get rid of the wine pills when drinking with his master.
After accompanying Zhuang Qiong to work three big bowls, Su Le felt a little drunk and said with a smile: "How is that roast goose?"
Zhuang Qiong said: "Not bad!"
Su Le said: "You are always knowledgeable. Have you ever seen roast goose like this before?"
Zhuang Qiong did not directly answer Su Le’s question, but asked: “Where did you invite this kid?”
Su Le said: "I don't know. This is the first time I have held such a competition, so through all aspects of the relationship, I invited first-class chefs from all over the country. According to the selection principles we initially formulated, if we are not recommended, we must require a chef level or above. Tu Yantao is from Jiuzhanglou, Moxi, and I have very little other information. He signed up for the competition by himself."
Zhuang Qiong said: "You have watched the whole game. Have you understood the mystery?"
Su Le frowned. If he understood, he would not ask Zhuangqian. Tu Yantao's cooking method was something that Su Le had never seen in the past. Su Le said: "This person's cooking method is rare, different from tradition. Anyway, it is the first time I have seen someone who can play with fire to such a level of freedom."
Zhuang Qiong whispered: "You see him squirting wine and controlling fire is just a trick!"
Su Le was slightly stunned: "What?"
Zhuang Qiong said: "His wonderful cooking skills are based on martial arts, and he uses martial arts to cook. When making roast goose, you only see the appearance but not the inner. If I read it correctly, he used the Fire Cloud Palm when cooking roast goose."
"Fire Cloud Palm?" Su Le said in surprise.
Zhuang Qiong nodded: "Fire Cloud Palm, one of the five great masters of Nine Yangs, Fire Cloud Iron Bucket, Fire Snake Spits the Trust, Fire Dragon Pierces through the Mountain, Fire Cloud Covers the Top, Fire Sea Endless, Earth Fire Spits the Plain, Sky Fire Burns the City! He incorporated Fire Cloud Palm into his cooking skills and cooked this roast goose with his domineering and powerful internal force. In order to conceal his Fire Cloud Palm, he deliberately used sorghum to distract the judges' attention. His Fire Cloud Palm has been cultivated to a certain level. During the entire cooking process, he used the three tricks of Fire Cloud Iron Bucket, Fire Snake Spits the Trust, and Fire Dragon Pierces through the Mountain."
This was the first time Su Le heard that someone could integrate martial arts into cooking, and the combination was so flawless, and whispered: "Are you afraid of fire with those palms of his hands?"
Zhuang Qiong smiled and said, "The master of Fire Cloud Palm can cook food with his pair of meat palms. As for small things like picking chestnuts from the fire, he can easily do it."
Su Le looked around and whispered: "Which is better than his palm technique?" What he pointed to was naturally the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm against Fire Cloud Palm.
Zhuang Qiong said: "No matter how powerful the martial arts are, it depends on who the user is? Your cultivation level is not as good as him." Zhuang Qiong did not say that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm is not as good as the Fire Cloud Palm, but said that Su Le's cultivation level is not as good as Tu Yantao.
Su Ledao: "If you have the chance, you have to experience it."
Zhuang Qiong said: "Have you noticed that he did bone-loss goose palm?"
Su Le said: "When I talk about this, I remembered why he did bone-depleting goose palms and it made it cool inside and outside? This is obviously unscientific!"
Zhuang Qiong said: "In such a short time, even the quick freezing cannot achieve the effect of completely cooling the goose palm. He used the internal force of the Yinsha Palm to penetrate into the goose palm and forcibly cool down the marinade in the goose palm. But he did it very secretly and no one could see the details clearly."
Su Le said in surprise: "So, Tu Yantao is a master, and he also mastered the unique martial arts skills of Fire Cloud Palm and Yinsha Palm?"
