Chapter 321 Ending

The photography robot gave a close-up of Yuan Jiner and her borscht at the right time.

The bright red soup, paired with a variety of colorful ingredients, is simply a living oil painting, which makes people reluctant to pick up their chopsticks but unable to resist the temptation.

George couldn't wait to serve a bowl to each referee, and one third of the pot of borscht was immediately gone.

George didn't have time to feel sorry for it, and couldn't wait to take a sip. The soup slid across the tip of his tongue, and the rich and mellow sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth instantly. The rich layering was amazing.

The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes blends with the savory flavor of beef, creating a complex taste that is both sweet and sour, and fragrant and sweet. The thick broth is rich in milk and has a mellow taste, contrasting with the freshness of the vegetables. The rich aroma of tomatoes, combined with spices such as bay leaves, creates a unique and alluring flavor layer...

Simple yet not simplistic, it makes people applaud.

A bowl of borscht had just whetted everyone's taste buds when other contestants' works followed.

Jia Yanyu brought crucian carp with scallions, Yu Zhishang served beef brisket stewed with potatoes, Lin Yangyan presented his specialty dish, braised pork, and Gu Weiang's tiger skin elbow steamed for three hours followed.

Bing Lulu and Hai Rouer were like two mice that fell into a rice jar. They were so happy that their teeth were showing and their eyes were not. They ate one thing after another.

Afraid that the two greedy girls would eat it all up and leave them with nothing to eat, Caleb Ryan and George quickly picked up their chopsticks and joined the battle.

Only Tang Jia stood still, staring intently at Ding Hong who was cooking, without blinking.

Caleb Ryan and George noticed something was wrong and when they looked over, they were stunned.

I thought Tang Jia's large dish of boiled dried bean curd was the limit of his knife skills, but I didn't expect that someone would use his knife skills on a fish.

The fresh mandarin fish has been scaled, gilled, and cleaned. The head, spine, and breast bones have been removed, leaving only the tail connecting the two pieces of fish meat.

But this was not the most amazing thing for Caleb Ryan and George. What surprised them was Ding Hong's processing of the fish.

Cut the fish meat diagonally to the skin without breaking it, and then cut vertically on the narrow pieces of fish meat to form strips of meat.

Not everyone can do Ding Hong's knife skills. Even George Patton in the referee's seat had to admit defeat.

As soon as George Patton came to his senses, he immediately ordered the camera robot to point the lens at Ding Hong who was seasoning the fish.

The audience was busy enjoying the dishes online when the scene turned to Ding Hong, who had difficulty making choices. Many people immediately protested.

But when Ding Hong picked up the fish and coated it with corn starch, everyone realized the significance of the organizing committee's change of lens.

While everyone was stunned, Ding Hong picked up the fish meat, which was clearly shredded, and put it into the oil pan.

After being heated, the fish meat quickly curls up and turns golden, looking like two bunches of distinct and plump grapes, which is extremely tempting.

But this is not the final product.

Ding Hong slowly and methodically fried the fish head, sautéed ginger, added side dishes, prepared the sweet and sour sauce, and poured it all over the crispy fish meat.

After being poured with sauce, the squirrel mandarin fish has a bright color, resembling a squirrel lying on the ground, with good color, aroma and taste.

The sweet and sour smell was so overbearing that it instantly penetrated into the forehead, making the referees and contestants on the scene salivate.

The judges were not polite people. As soon as the dishes were served, five pairs of chopsticks reached out to them impatiently.

The moment you pick up the fish, you hear a crisp "crackling" sound, proving how crispy it is.

The camera robot took a close-up of the dish without hesitation, and the color of the golden crispy shell and the tender fish meat clearly caught the eyes of the majority of netizens.

Everyone then realized that “it looks delicious at first glance” was neither a grammatical error nor an exaggeration.

Just as everyone was imagining the taste of this squirrel fish, several people in the judges' booth couldn't wait to put this delicious bite into their mouths.

It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coated with just the right amount of flour and cooked to perfection. The sauce is sweet and sour, making it very appetizing.

While Tang Jia was still silently measuring the timing for Ding Hong to put the fish into the frying pan and controlling the heat, the other four people had already divided up the whole plate of squirrel fish, even the fish head and side dishes were not spared.

George Patton even took out some bread and dipped up all the soup in the plate.

Tang Jia didn't argue with them this time. Instead, he nodded at Yuan Jin'er and Ding Hong and said softly, "Do it again and let the others have a taste!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Weiang could no longer sit still, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Jia Yanyu and Yu Zhishang. Lin Yangyan directly covered his mouth with his hand and pointed at his tiger-skin elbow, the surface of which was covered with a layer of grease.

Gu Weian was silent!

Or, should we just keep silent and wait until we eat the food they cook?

This wait lasted more than three hours.

After the dishes came, Gu Weiang was the first to pick up his chopsticks.

Then, he ate one by one without saying a word.

It is said that there is no harm without comparison.

For the sake of his own physical and mental health, Gu Weiang decided not to compete anymore and leave the harm to Yuan Jiner and Ding Hong!

Jia Yanyu, Yu Zhishang, and Lin Yangyan, with a clearer understanding of their culinary skills, had long forgotten their status as contestants and immersed themselves in the feast. While eating, they also gave thumbs-up to Yuan Jiner and Ding Hong, fully embodying the competitive spirit of "friendship first, competition second."

Tang Jia raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Wouldn't you two like to taste each other's masterpieces?"

Yuan Jin'er glanced at the squirrel fish that had no soup left, then looked at the bottom of her pot that still had a few shreds of vegetables, and shook her head.

"No need! I give up!"

Tang Jia curled his lips into a smile, nodded, and faced the camera, announcing loudly: "After a week of competition in the first Chef God Contest, the third place winner is: Mr. Gu Weiang.

The runner-up is: Miss Yuan Jiner.

The champion is: Mr. Ding Hong.

Congratulations to the three contestants for winning the awards. We also hope that more contestants will step onto the stage of the MasterChef Competition to exchange skills, challenge themselves, break through their limits, and bring more delicious food to our customers.

Let us meet at the next Chef God Championship and feel the rich atmosphere of everyday life and the wonderful time brought by infinite creativity again.

See you next year at the same time!"

As soon as Tang Jia finished speaking, twelve fireworks were pushed from all directions to the sky above the referee's seat. Colored strips, petals, and sequins slowly fell from the sky. Although it blurred the vision, it added a bit of festive atmosphere.

Tang Jia took the trophy, anonymous black card, constant temperature warehouse key, etc. that had been prepared long ago from the staff, and handed them to the champion, runner-up and third place winners one by one. He also shook hands with them cordially and took photos with them.

The much-anticipated first MasterChef Competition came to an end.

Although it was a bit sloppy, Tang Jia had tried his best.
