I would only stay in cheap places with good locations to satisfy my hunger.
So when Mrs. Ye was making preparations, many people were whispering to each other below.
Most people felt sorry for the difficulty of raising such young piglets, and it was such a pity that they were eaten like this.
But as the aroma of the roast suckling pig became more and more noticeable, the discussions gradually died down.
After being craving for it for a long time, everyone finally understood why they had to roast such a small piglet after finally eating the crispy outside and tender inside roast suckling pig. The taste is really completely different from the pork we usually eat.
The crispy roasted pig skin makes a crackling sound when you bite it. The smell of wood roasting mixed with the fat of the pig skin has a unique aroma.
Moreover, due to the long roasting time, almost all the fat on the pig is forced out, so it does not taste greasy at all.
This was not the biggest surprise of the dish, because when Wan Ziqiu cut the pork, everyone had already imagined that the skin would have this kind of texture and taste.
What surprised everyone was the fragrant and tender pork inside.
The meat of piglets is tender to begin with, and roasting it wrapped in pig skin reduces the loss of meat juice.
It can be said to be soft, smooth and melts in your mouth.
"Is this really pork? I've never tasted pork this good in my life."
"We watched this being roasted right before our eyes. It must be pork. Madam You's cooking skills are truly amazing."
"I should have paid closer attention to how Madam You cooked it. I have several piglets at home. I'll try roasting one when I get home."
"Come on, just forget it! Even if I let you stand by and watch others do it, do you think you can learn it?"
"Oh, I can't learn it, I'm just saying it!
"Besides, my piglets already have owners.
"My wife has distributed the piglets to the children in the family. Whoever has the piglets will take care of them themselves. At the end of next year, we will kill the pigs and sell them for money. Whoever has the piglets will get new clothes with the money they earn."
"Your wife is quite smart. Aren't your children going to rush to feed the pigs?"
"That's right, my wife doesn't have to do anything lately, everyone is trying their best to feed the pigs better and fatter than others.
"It's because it's so cold today that the mountains are already covered with snow. Otherwise, these bastards would have wanted to go up the mountain to cut grass for the pigs."
"This is a really clever trick. I'll learn it when I get back."
"What are you talking about? Weren't we talking about roast suckling pig?"
"Yes, yes, I have never eaten such delicious pork in my life!
"If there wasn't only one piece, I would really like to take it home for my wife and children to try."
"I think if Madam You is willing to open a shop in the county, she can make a lot of money just by selling this roast suckling pig. Anyway, I can't help it and I will definitely want to eat it again."
"That's a good idea, but Madam You is currently busy hosting banquets for wealthy families in the capital, so I'm afraid she doesn't have time to take care of this..."
Listening to the praises of the onlookers and watching Miss Zhou surrounding Mrs. Ye and asking her questions with an admiring look on her face, Zhang Chuanlu wished he could cover his eyes and plug his ears.
Every compliment and praise from the people around him turned into pressure on his heart, making him feel like he was about to sink under the pressure.
This was completely different from what he had originally expected. Xu Lei had said before that the last two spots would definitely belong to him and Qian Yunfei.
But now he was stopped at the second match.
Zhang Chuanlu actually felt another layer of dissatisfaction in his heart.
Although his knife skills in cooking the pagoda meat were not as good as before, he was still very satisfied with the taste.
But the judges on the stage dismissed themselves without even tasting a bite. What kind of thing is that?
The more Zhang Chuanlu thought about it, the angrier he became. He had a lot of anger in his heart but no place to vent it. Finally, when he heard Mr. Cen say that he was going to announce the list of qualifiers, he completely exploded.
He flipped the table in front of him, pointed at Elder Cen, and demanded, "Before you announce the list of qualifiers, would you please explain your relationship with Madam You?"
Elder Cen paused after hearing this, frowned, and said, "What is our relationship? What does it have to do with you? Why should I explain this to you?"
"Don't explain to me, but to all the people who participated in the competition and so many ordinary people who came to watch the game." Zhang Chuanlu became excited when he saw that Mr. Cen did not answer him directly.
“There are things I didn’t want to say, but I just couldn’t bear it anymore.
"Guess what I saw on my way home last night? I saw Madam You escorting Elder Cen out of a courtyard.
"Master Cen, I have always respected you very much.
"But as a judge of the cooking competition, how can you casually contact the participating chefs privately during the competition?
"Mrs. You can make roast suckling pig so deliciously, it must be you who taught her last night, right?
"Everyone, how can there be any fairness in such a competition?"
Zhang Chuanlu tried to stir up the people's emotions as he spoke, but most people just watched him perform in silence.
Just as Elder Cen was about to explain, Wan Ziqiu suddenly stood up and said, "Since this matter involves Elder Cen, it might be better for me to explain it.
"First of all, there were only five of us judging the cooking competition from beginning to end. Elder Cen was merely the one who took the lead in organizing the competition.
"Secondly, Master Cen was ordered by the Emperor to prepare for the national cooking competition, and he had the final say over who would participate.
