"I'm sorry to disappoint you all, I lost. The dish I won was not made by me."
After hearing Zhai Jun's words, the whole audience fell silent.
Everyone couldn't believe their ears.
How could the chef from Pinweilou lose in a cooking competition with an ordinary woman?
This is impossible.
After Zhai Jun finished speaking, he pushed through the crowd layer by layer and left alone.
By the time everyone reacted, Zhai Jun was no longer in the restaurant.
I don’t know who spoke first, but soon the whole audience was in an uproar, with waves of discussion getting louder and louder.
"Did I hear correctly? Did Zhai Jun really lose?"
"I heard it too. It must be true. Otherwise, why would he leave?"
"How is that possible? How could Pinweilou lose? This is the best restaurant in our county. Could it be that the dishes cooked by that young wife be better than those cooked by the chef of Pinweilou?"
"Oh my god, can someone tell me whether this is true or not? I never thought that the chef at Taste House would lose to others in cooking."
"If Pinweilou really loses, Manager Zhang will have to pay them four thousand taels of silver. That's a full four thousand taels!"
The first thing Shopkeeper Zhang did when he reacted was to go to the judges' table and pick up the losing dish. He thought there must have been a mistake, or the name must have been wrongly labeled.
He raised the dish above his head and saw that it was indeed Zhai Jun's name.
How is this possible?
Impossible, Zhai Jun can't lose, he can't lose.
There is something fishy, there must be something fishy!
It must be the wrong name.
He hurriedly grabbed a pair of used chopsticks from the table, picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, talking to himself.
"That's right, this tastes just like what Master Zhai made. How could we lose when something this delicious is so good?"
At the same time, the other three chefs in the restaurant also came over to taste the dishes. Even though Zhai Jun personally admitted that he lost, they still didn't believe that Zhai Jun would lose, so they gathered together to find out what was going on.
The three chefs carried chopsticks with them, and they all looked solemn when they walked to the judges' table.
When Shopkeeper Zhang saw them coming, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and immediately stuffed the dish in his hand into their hands.
"Try it, is what Master Zhai made okay?"
The three chefs tasted it immediately and gave a positive response.
"no problem."
"No problem, that's the taste."
"I also think that what Master Zhai did was fine. This is the level of what Master Zhai can produce normally."
If there was something wrong with the food Zhai Jun cooked, even if he, an outsider, couldn't taste it, the three chefs would definitely be able to taste that something was wrong.
Now that all three chefs say that the dishes cooked by Zhai Jun are fine, then the dishes must be fine.
In this case, Shopkeeper Zhang had a clear idea in his mind.
The dish is fine and the name is correct.
So there must be something wrong with the judges.
Although these ten judges were randomly picked from the street, it is possible that Xiao Yunfei and his team had set up a trap in advance and prepared a lot of people to wander around the street, and then they were caught to serve as judges.
It must be like this.
I didn’t realize how scheming these guys are.
He pointed to the dish made by Su Miaomiao and said.
"Try that dish."
As he spoke, he also picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, tasting the dish made by Su Miaomiao at the same time as the three chefs.
He had already made up his mind. Once he was sure that Su Miaomiao's cooking was not as good as Zhai Jun's, he would immediately expose Su Miaomiao's collusion with the judges to cheat, and then let everyone present help taste the food to give him and Pinweilou justice.
When everyone knows that Su Miaomiao used such tricks to deceive people, they will definitely be even more angry. He probably won't even need to do anything, because the rich and powerful guests at the scene will help him deal with Su Miaomiao and the others.
Shopkeeper Zhang was calculating with great interest, and had even begun to imagine the satisfying feeling of exposing Su Miaomiao's little trick.
But all this fell through when he tasted the food.
Even though he is not a chef, he can taste the obvious difference between the two dishes.
He had to admit that the dish made by Su Miaomiao was better and tasted like nothing he had ever tasted before.
The three chefs' expressions changed as well. After taking a bite, they seemed to not believe it was true and immediately took a second bite.
Shopkeeper Zhang felt like the sky was falling. His eyes were dim and he kept repeating three words.
"Impossible, impossible..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly went crazy, picked up the plate of food next to him and smashed it to the ground, screaming like a madman.
"Ah! Damn it, all of you go to hell!"
He smashed the dish that belonged to Zhai Jun.
Next, he went to fry Su Miaomiao's dish.
However, just as his hand was about to touch the plate, the dish was taken away by someone.
Shopkeeper Zhang stared with bloodshot eyes, looked up in surprise, and saw that the dish was held steadily in Xiao Yunfei's hands.
Xiao Yunfei looked refreshed and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What? Shopkeeper Zhang wants to destroy the evidence and break the bet?"
The dirty thoughts in my heart were actually exposed to the public.
Manager Zhang was so angry that he rushed towards Xiao Yunfei like a madman, shouting.
"You son of a bitch, I'll kill you!"
Xiao Yunfei predicted Manager Zhang's behavior, and he dodged first, causing Manager Zhang to miss and fall flat on his face.
Xiao Yunfei handed the dish in his hand to Zhang Xing, turned around and kicked Shopkeeper Zhang who had just stood up and was about to attack him.
This kick made Manager Zhang vomit blood.
Shopkeeper Zhang struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and yelled.
"What are you all doing? Come on! Mr. Wang, if you don't come to help, you're doomed!"
Just as the person called by Manager Zhang was about to move, someone suddenly yelled.
"Well, don't let this farce go on."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked towards the old man.
This man was dressed in fine clothes, and from the way people looked at him, one could tell that he was a very famous person in the local area.
When Shopkeeper Zhang saw this man, he instantly lost his temper and bowed respectfully and called out to him.
"Master Kong."
Mr. Kong walked slowly to the judges' table and said to Shopkeeper Zhang.
"Manager Zhang, if you lose, you lose. Have you forgotten what you said before? With so many people watching, if word gets out, people might say that the people in Chunlan County can't afford to lose. Don't bring shame to Chunlan County."
That's four thousand taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Zhang felt extremely painful, but since Mr. Kong from the Spring Festival Couplet Gang, the largest local social organization, had spoken, he had no choice but to agree even though he was reluctant.
"Mr. Kong is teaching me that Zhang was impulsive just now."
"Well, then hurry up and fulfill your promise."
Under the urging of Mr. Kong, Manager Zhang obediently handed the four thousand taels of silver to Su Miaomiao.
"You win, take these four thousand taels of silver."
Su Miaomiao didn't know where this Mr. Kong came from, but judging from the attitude of the people around him and Shopkeeper Zhang towards Mr. Kong, this Mr. Kong must be a very important person.
Su Miaomiao nodded to Mr. Kong and said.
"Thank you, Master Kong, for your help."
She was about to take the money when someone suddenly yelled.
"Wait a moment!"
