Sheng Yueqing noticed that Director Zhao was looking at her.
He knew it perfectly well.
She pretended not to see it, thus deceiving Director Zhao.
Factory Director Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she knew nothing.
Anyway, he didn't kill anyone; he just caused Sheng Yueqing to lose the election.
Besides, Sheng Yueqing's snacks are the best-selling in Shanghai, so even if she doesn't win the competition, they'll still sell well.
If anyone suspects that someone else has done something wrong, he will pin the blame on Sheng Yueqing.
After all, Sheng Yueqing was pregnant.
It's perfectly normal for a heavily pregnant woman to make the wrong flavor for a product.
This excuse was given to him by Huang Nianyan.
He found it very useful.
I was just thinking of using it when Sheng Yueqing tried to argue her way out of it.
Sheng Yueqing didn't even look at him.
They only looked at the stage.
Factory Director Zhao remembered that his product was about to be presented, so he quickly looked at the stage.
Several judges tasted his potato chips while blindfolded, first smelling them and then taking a bite.
The taste is indeed very good.
But I always feel like something's missing.
Perhaps it's because I've had the best potato chips at Sheng Yueqing's, but other brands just don't taste as good.
Mr. Bai's Chinese pastries were also served.
He nervously watched the expressions on the judges' faces.
The first judge frowned slightly, then took another bite; it was unclear whether he liked it or not.
The other judges also had different expressions.
After eating, write down your thoughts on a piece of paper.
When Sheng Yueqing's product was served.
Everyone visibly perked up and stared intently.
They were extremely curious about what products Sheng Yueqing made, and everyone craned their necks to see.
The staff member took out a very exquisite pastry box.
There are twelve kinds of snacks inside.
The colors are not only fresh and beautiful, but the shapes also resemble twelve different flowers.
Each flower represents a good blessing.
Just looking at the samples is very pleasing to the eye.
These look much better than the Chinese pastries made by others.
Even the rich second-generation young master thought Sheng Yueqing's pastry designs were beautiful.
He stared intently at Sheng Yueqing, genuinely curious, "Did you make those desserts yourself?"
It's so exquisite.
The color is surprisingly vibrant and fresh.
Sheng Yueqing smiled and said, "Food itself has a wide variety of colors, and the colors of my desserts all come from the food itself." No artificial coloring was used.
The rich second-generation young master was very impressed.
"What filling did you use?"
He used a lot of expensive fillings, all to please the judges.
Sheng Yueqing had a total of ten two-piece pastries, probably with different fillings, right?
Sheng Yueqing nodded, "Yes, the filling for each pastry is different."
And they are all made with the most common fillings.
The rich young master was shocked, "Impossible!"
How could such an important competition be made with ordinary materials?
Was Sheng Yueqing lying to him?
Those present, upon hearing this, also felt that Sheng Yueqing was not telling the truth.
The products they brought today are all made with the finest materials.
Fearing the judges might not like it, how could we possibly use ordinary materials?
People felt that Sheng Yueqing was not telling the truth.
Sheng Yueqing smiled but remained silent.
She has her reasons for using ordinary materials.
This group thought that using the best materials would guarantee a win, but that's not the case.
However, the final result will depend on the judges' selection.
After all the products have been displayed.
The host spoke again.
Before revealing the answer, the host had staff bring out products from different manufacturers so that each boss could try other products and vote.
The bosses looked at each other, thinking to themselves that this competition was quite elaborate.
But I also tasted it carefully.
They were also very curious about the taste of other manufacturers and tasted them very carefully.
Especially with Sheng Yueqing's products, we must examine them more carefully to see if they are truly made of ordinary materials.
The Chinese pastries that Sheng Yueqing made were unlike the wedding cakes she made before, nor were they like the pastries from the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.
The crust wasn't flaky pastry, but rather made with a kind of oily crust.
When you take a bite, the skin is chewy.
The filling inside was actually made with red beans.
You can still taste the texture of the red beans when you eat it. I don't know what seasoning she added, but the red beans are especially fragrant and the taste is not bland at all.
The combination with the chewy crust is excellent.
I ate a second piece, a green petal-shaped cake.
The filling matches the color; it's made of mung beans.
The bosses exchanged glances, surprised that Sheng Yueqing actually used ordinary materials.
Isn't she afraid the judges will think her ingredients are too cheap?
What's so special about ordinary beans?
Its main advantage is its delicious seasoning; you'll want to eat another one after you finish the first.
They then looked at the other colors, asking, "What kind of filling does this purple one correspond to?"
One bite and you'll find it's taro paste.
However, the taro paste is very smooth and not dry at all; it's very silky and delicious.
Most importantly, each filling has a different flavor profile, ranging from salty to sweet.
It won't make you feel like all twelve in a box have the same sweetness.
On the contrary, it has sweet, salty and spicy flavors.
Several bosses stared wide-eyed, thinking that Sheng Yueqing was incredibly talented.
Although their products also come in various flavors.
But actually, they all taste pretty much the same; they're either all salty or all sweet.
Unlike Sheng Yueqing's box, which contains all different flavors.
Moreover, her packaging is also very unique, with flavor labels and related poems about the fillings on the transparent bags.
