Chapter 139,

But then two lines of tears appeared on his face.

She was explaining to the judges while crying bitterly. To those who didn't know the situation, this scene seemed a bit unbelievable.

"No, how can someone cry while cooking? What is that old man doing? He didn't cook well and wants the judges to give him a break and let him advance? But think about it, it's impossible. How could he cheat?" Everyone was confused about the situation.

but……

Su Guoer saw that thing and it looked familiar, very familiar... but she couldn't remember it clearly. Maybe she had seen it before but was too young to remember it. There was no point in asking it further. She might as well wait until the game was over and ask the old man what it was.

The game was in full swing, and a very fragrant smell came from near Su Guoer. The smell was so fragrant that even she couldn't help but look over.

When I looked, I saw that the other person was rolling noodles.

Something was cooking in a small stove nearby, and the aroma came from that small stove. Coincidentally, the man opened the stove lid and added some salt into it, and Su Guoer saw what was inside.

Wow, it’s eel noodles?

What he made was eel noodles? You know, although eels are delicious, it is not easy to make excellent eel noodles. Is this person planning to use this to participate in the competition?

Doesn't that mean he'll be eliminated?

Nowadays, there are many places selling eel noodles in the streets and alleys. Su Guoer remembers that the eel noodles in Li's Noodle House in the south of the city are a specialty of Bianjing. If it were to be used in a competition... it should be able to pass the second round, but it would still not be good enough in a competition with many chefs.

Looking at the right side, there is a middle-aged man making a pastry dish.

Because Su Guoer saw the man pouring milk into the pot, maybe he was making jelly?

There was a prototype of a pastry on the side. It looked like a peach blossom. Peach blossom cake? That's strange, isn't it?

In addition, there are grilled lamb skewers, old duck stew, osmanthus dumplings, baby rolls, etc., but they are all improved on the original basic dishes. I think the taste should be good, right?

Maybe she could try it herself after it was over? It was a shame there wasn't that part of the competition; they couldn't touch the other chefs' dishes. Otherwise... if they copied them, whose would it be?

Su Guoer waited for a while, and only after two people had prepared their dishes and asked the judges to verify them did she continue to make her own dishes.

First boil a pot of water, then put the soup dumplings in. Watch the dumplings roll and roll in the pot until they float on the surface. Then the dumplings are cooked.

After taking them out, rinse them in clean water to remove the stickiness of the dumpling skin. Then pick them up one by one, put them on a plate aside, and then cut some shredded radish, chives, etc. as decoration.

Finally, sprinkle a little chopped green onion.

This dish of soup-filled assorted dumplings is ready.

The skin looks translucent, with bits of black fungus and meat stuffing vaguely visible inside, and there's faintly a rich juice flowing through it. It looks...

It's a bit mediocre.

There is also a taste... Even the fragrance is vague,

In general... this looks like an ordinary dumpling, a very simple dumpling. Even the examiners felt that it was not as delicious as the tea porridge and shrimp floss that Su Guoer made for the first time.

But...Su Guoer naturally has her reasons for doing this.

This assorted soup dumplings requires great skills and not everyone can make it, but she is confident in her skills.

After the dumplings were almost cool, she held up the sign and several servants came over and served her dumplings to the adults, who tasted them one by one.

Su Guoer was still a little nervous.

My heart was gripped as I watched the expressions and actions of the adults on the stage.

"These dumplings look so ordinary?" said one of the adults.

"It's okay if it's ordinary. This Miss Su is someone that Master Qing needs to take care of. She has to be allowed to come over no matter what."

Someone was unconvinced: "Humph, just bringing a plate of dumplings to the competition? And you still think you can advance? Even if she is Lord Qing's person, so what? It's a cooking competition, does Lord Qing really want to interfere? I don't believe it!"

The old man at the side had already picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth. Only after the dumpling burst with juice in his mouth did he say, "You should try it. Don't worry about whether she is Mr. Qing's person or not. We have to follow the rules when doing things. And you haven't even tasted it yet?"

The old man was very satisfied with the dish and even put a dumpling into the bowl of his old classmate.

"Try it! There's still juice in these dumplings. You won't be disappointed."

"Juice?" the man asked, then picked up the plate and carefully examined the dumpling on it.

A round and plump dumpling is placed on the plate. When you pick it up and shake it, you can see the yellow juice flowing inside, which makes people drool.

"Thin skin, thick filling, and there's even some flowing soup inside? Could this be... could this be the soup dumplings mentioned in the book?"

"Hmm? That's right, soup dumplings. Ancient books say the skin is thin and translucent, revealing the filling without revealing it. The soup flows through the dumplings, creating a beautiful feeling like flowing clouds, yet it's difficult to pierce. It's clear that a lot of effort went into making the dumpling skin."

After hearing this, the man was shocked to realize that the dumplings in his hand were not ordinary dumplings. Of course, he wanted to try them, but he still said, "If they don't taste good, I won't give them a high score either."

Then, he picked up the dumpling with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Instead of eating it all at once, I bit a small hole in the dumpling first, and the juice inside flowed out, which was extremely delicious.

There was a lot of juice, and the fragrance suddenly spread between the lips and teeth. Only then did people realize that these soup dumplings were really delicious.

Then they put the rest of the dumpling into their mouths, and now they tasted the firm and meaty dumpling filling.

I don’t know why, but this dumpling filling has a crunchy texture when eaten?

Strange and novel? "What's in here? I wonder if you can taste the crunchy stuff?" the man asked.

The others took a bite and replied, "Diced lotus root, right? I can taste the flavor of diced lotus root, but I don't remember it being this crispy."

"That's probably pork cartilage, right? Pork cartilage has a crunchy taste, but it tastes really good. It's both innovative and made with skill. I can't figure out how the soup was poured into the dumplings?" someone asked.

The others also praised her: "Yes, yes, she was able to pour the soup completely into the dumplings without even a single tear on the dumpling wrapper. This shows that this young lady is very capable. I can give her a high score."

"Me too"
