The old man's words made many of the participants present deeply convinced.

"That's right, ordinary mutton stewed radish can be made by housewives. ”

"That is, the apprentices in our store are doing better than this. ”

"Hehe, the stew is not good at all, just take the first place, obviously there is a shady scene, right. ”

In the noisy discussion of everyone, the old man sitting in the middle of the judges' table said: "You are right, this mutton stewed radish does have many shortcomings, first of all, the mutton is not delicate enough, not top-notch enough, and then the variety of radish is not good, and the way of boiling is also very ordinary, but it cannot be denied that this is what we judges really eat." ”

These words stunned everyone present.

"Is this what the judges are eating? Does that mean that the food of the other teams can't be eaten?"

"I'm rubbing, what do you mean by that?"

In the confusion of everyone, the old man smiled slightly: "This is Shanghai, the time is mid-September, it is the season of unbearable heat, so each team has prepared very delicious summer food, white chopped chicken, drunk shrimp, ice powder, white fungus pear, iced wontons, cold noodles, their taste is indeed great, each dish looks very attentive." ”

Looking at the many contestants with cold eyes, the old man smiled: "But you have overlooked one thing, that is, this is a hotel with air conditioning open 24 hours a day. ”

While everyone was stunned, the old man pointed to the top of his head and said with a smile: "The organizer may be worried that the refrigeration effect of the air conditioner is not good, so we specially arranged our location under the air outlet of the air conditioner. ”

"So you feel like the temperature around you is about 20 degrees Celsius, which feels very refreshing, but we are a little cold here. The old man smiled and said, "Not only that, but all the food brought by the seven participating teams in front of me was cold. ”

"If you taste one or two servings, there shouldn't be any problems for young people, but whoever sits under the air conditioner with the air conditioner turned on and eats seven cold meals in a row, I'm sure he won't be in a good mood. “

Looking at the stunned crowd, the old man smiled: "So before the food in Datongjiang is served, my only thought is to end this competition quickly, return to the room, and pour myself a cup of hot water to warm up, because in your opinion, it is the middle of summer and the scorching heat, and for the five of us judges, it is a deep winter." ”

"Do you know what it's like for a foodie to wait expectantly, only to be rewarded with seven dishes that are colder than the other?"

Looking at the stunned crowd, the old man smiled: "It's almost equivalent to the feeling of eating seven popsicles in a row in winter." ”

"This %......" The members of many participating teams looked at each other.

A member of the team who suddenly realized it was shocked: "So that's the case, no wonder when the hot soup was served, the five judges were all looking forward to it! It turned out that they were very cold!"

"I'm rubbing, it turns out that this is the case, let a weak team like Datongjiang take advantage of the loophole!"

"Marcobi's, this Datongjiang is really lucky, such a stupid entry, the result is crooked. ”

"What's the reason, how can you make sense in this matter? It turned out that Datongjiang, whose craftsmanship was so poor, was cheapened. ”

Listening to the discussion of the team members, the old man sitting on the judges' seat frowned and said: "Do you think Datongjiang is just lucky? Then you are wrong, because in the beginning of the preparation stage, I saw that the members of the Datongjiang team prepared blueberries. ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's eyes turned to the Datongjiang team.

A staff member hurriedly handed the microphone to Lu Shuyao's father, looking at the old man sitting on the judges' stand, Lu Shuyao's father said: "Yes, according to yesterday's plan, we will use blueberries today to make cold food to cool off." ”

As soon as they heard this, the eyes of everyone present immediately straightened.

"But why did you do this?" asked the old man.

Lu Shuyao's father pointed to Shen Qiang beside him with his hand and said: "After the game started, our boss made a temporary decision, because we didn't make preparations in this regard before, so we only have frozen meat, green radish used to make a carving platter, and some all-purpose flour ......."

Lu Shuyao's father stammered and explained a little nervously, and Miss Chuqing, the beautiful demon fox on the judges' stage, laughed out loud: "So I gave you 9.5 points, and the 0.5 points deducted were because I didn't eat top-notch mutton, and I gave your boss a punishment." ”

Her words immediately made Shen Qiang the focus.

Everyone in the entire arena looked at Shen Qiang in shock.

"Wow, he's the boss of Datongjiang? It looks like Miss Chu Qing should know him, otherwise Miss Chu Qing wouldn't make such a joke. ”

"Quite a spirited guy, I don't know how he cooks, but this eyesight is too powerful. ”

"Yes, if it was prepared before, it can be said that Datongjiang was lucky, and he hit it crookedly, but the temporary change is definitely what this guy has discovered. ”

"The air conditioning has always been there, no one should have cared about this thing, I guess this guy must have thought of the situation where the judges ate seven cold dishes in a row, so he made such an adjustment. ”

"It makes sense, it's worthy of being a team that enters the quarterfinals, it's really not easy. ”

In the midst of everyone's discussion, the host asked the leaders of each team to take the stage.

Shen Qiang stepped forward.

The host asked them to stand according to the results of the competition.

Datong Jiang scored first in this game.

Standing in the center without suspense, on the left hand side is Master Yu Qingtang, and on the right hand side is Master Baihualou.

Smiling at the camera, and the warm applause of the public judges, Shen Qiang glanced at Master Yu Qingtang, who was pale, and chuckled: "Yu Qingtang won the second, your apprentice must be very sad, right? ”

Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Yu Qingtang's master said with a pale face: "A third-rate restaurant, a third-rate chef, can't even make a perfect restaurant with mutton stewed radish, what is there to be proud of, it is completely garbage among garbage." ”

Shen Qiang sneered and laughed, and said, "Yo, what I said is really correct, but I'm thinking now, a garbage restaurant in the garbage, using garbage mutton stewed radish to win the food you carefully prepared, how bad is Yu Qingtang's level? Can you really eat the things you make?"

As soon as he heard this, Yu Qingtang's master turned pale with anger, but he was standing in the spotlight at this time, and he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Tilting his head slightly, he saw that on the right side of his body, the master of Baihualou, who was smiling and pretending to be a good person, was smiling at the camera.

Shen Qiang unceremoniously said: "Yu Qingtang is still like this, even Yu Qingtang is inferior to Baihualou, that must be a tractor in the garbage!"

In an instant, the old man's face turned pale.
