Chapter 386: One Eats and One Silent

"Then you go?" asked another technical judge.

Zhao Xiaojing was wondering why they were hesitant and discussing something as simple as eating some sweet soup for so long, but the other contestants around her burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha, it's not easy for the judges either!"

"I'm so PTSD! If I can't identify an ingredient at first glance, no matter how good it looks, I won't touch it rashly!"

"Oh my god, will Bai Tao broadcast this part later? I'm so happy to laugh!"

"Hahaha, it's a lifelong regret that these weirdos can't make it to the finals and ruin Mango TV!"

"Don't say that, don't say that! ..."

What happened? Zhao Xiaojing was the last to come out, and she listened to the conversations of those who had arrived earlier than her in confusion. Could something have gone wrong earlier?

"Brother, what are you laughing at?" The man in the green shirt, who had just arrived earlier than Zhao Xiaojing, had the same question. "They're so hesitant while eating noodles, what's so funny about that?"

"Haha! You have no idea, they are really scared by the players in front of them!"

"What do you mean?" the man in the green shirt gossiped.

"Just now... wait, wait, he's going to eat! I'll tell you later!" The eldest brother on the side was about to give some scientific explanation, but when he turned around and saw Dazhuang in front of the screen nodded, picked up the tasting fork and was about to start eating, he quickly waved his hand and stared at the screen with full concentration and excitement on his face.

On the screen, Dazhuang carefully picked up a gradient noodle from the edge of the bowl with a fork and put it into his small paper cup for tasting. He seemed not to want to ruin the presentation of the dish, so he only picked up a noodle from the very edge. Unexpectedly, the noodle just slipped off the fork and into the bowl as soon as it got stuck between the two tines of the fork.

"So slippery? Could it be vermicelli?" The person next to Dazhuang, who was wearing ordinary judge's clothes, asked a question.

"You have such a rich imagination." Da Zhuang glanced at him speechlessly. This time, he directly pierced the noodles with the tines of his fork, picked up a noodle and put it into his mouth.

"Adazi noodles?" Dazhuang's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the bowl. He forked a piece of milk jelly from the bowl, followed by taro paste, honey mung beans, shaved ice, grapes, kiwi fruit...

The other judges on the side were watching anxiously, waiting for Da Zhuang's evaluation, but Da Zhuang said nothing and just started eating.

Another technical judge was the first to react. He immediately took a small paper cup, imitated Da Zhuang's method to pick up the noodles, and then slurped it into his mouth.

"How's it going? Talking?"

"No, there's a mute potion in these noodles? Why aren't they talking after eating them?"

"There must be something strange in these noodles. Don't move! Let me do it!" One of the ordinary judges rolled his eyes wildly.

As soon as this was said, the others reacted and started to grab the paper cups. The twelve paper cups were quickly snatched up. They gathered in a circle and ate the sugar syrup with a fork in hand, eating enthusiastically.

"No, why are they all silent? Is this the legendary silence?"

"What did that handsome guy just say? Adazi noodles? Is there such a thing?"

"Help! They're really eating it? It's live, everyone! You're the judges!"

The audience in front of the screen watched the live broadcast with confusion and complained, waiting for the judges to speak with increasing curiosity.

Unfortunately, the twelve people did not speak a word. They just grabbed the food with their spoons and forks. The beautiful scenery of mountains and flowing water in the bowls was quickly eaten up. Soon, even the shaved ice under the medium-sized soup bowl was gone.

"this……"

"this……"

Several judges looked at each other, and when they saw the empty bottoms of their bowls, they remembered that this was a competition. They were the judges and had actually become food bloggers. They didn't know how to react for a moment.

"This only means that action is the best persuasion. Even the best judges will lose their say in front of top-notch delicacies." Da Zhuang looked at the camera and made amends without blushing or beating his heart.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

"That's what I mean!"

“That’s right!”

A group of ordinary judges echoed this.

Da Zhuang pressed the corners of his mouth downward, trying hard to hide the upward curve of his mouth. "Alright, alright, everyone has already expressed their praise for this bowl of sweet soup with their actions. Now let me say a few more words. This work is undoubtedly very creative, beautiful, and delicious, and it makes perfect use of time. You can see it from the reactions of the judges. However, I believe that if we give this person some more time, this amazing sweet soup can be further improved. Of course, I'm not saying that this bowl is bad. What I mean is that to be able to perform at this level within this time period is already a peak."

What a connoisseur! Not everyone can be a food blogger, Zhao Xiaojing secretly admired.

As Dazhuang said, this dessert is indeed not the most perfect version. On the contrary, in order to save time, some compromises were made in the processing of ingredients and the raw materials used. If there is enough time, the taste of this dessert can definitely be made more extreme, but no matter what, this is already the best taste that can be presented in just one hour.

"The technical judges are quite capable. It's a good choice. The ten from Volkswagen are just a makeshift team."

"This person looks familiar to me. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. Was he an internet celebrity?"

"Internet celebrity? Can an internet celebrity be this good?"

"No, no, he's a store exploration blogger, and his videos are pretty good."

"A restaurant blogger? You've eaten a lot, no wonder! But nowadays some restaurant bloggers don't know how to do anything themselves, they just take money and write nonsense."

"He's not. His videos are pretty good. He seems to have a new account recently. Let me check it out for you!" The contestant in front of the screen immediately started to pull out his phone. "Oh, no signal. I'll go out and find it for you later! Hey, what's your phone number? I'll send it to you when I find it!"

Zhao Xiaojing raised her eyebrows and smiled secretly. She didn't expect Dazhuang to be so famous. He has fans among the contestants and they are very persistent in promoting him.

"If everyone has no objection, then let's move on to the next one?" After Da Zhuang finished his comments, the judges naturally agreed. Seeing that no one had anything else to say and there was still one last dish that had not been tasted, Da Zhuang took the initiative to propose it.

The judges immediately walked to the next dish, and the camera froze at the same time.

Zhao Xiaojing opened her eyes wide and moved forward. This plating... peacock?

The peacock in front of me was placed on a large flat plate. The middle part seemed to be some fried foods, arranged in an oval to make the peacock's body; the body was covered with five rows of diagonally cut cucumber and lemon slices, neatly covering it, imitating the peacock's feathers; and the head was made of carrots cut into an inverted C shape, with cucumber slices cut into a crown shape inserted on the top of the C, and two black beans were embedded on both sides to make eyes.

As for the tail, it was something that looked like a dyed pot brush. The base color was pink, but the top was colorful. It was placed flat on the plate, almost taking up half of the plate.

The contestants were confused at first, and then they all started laughing.
