Meanwhile, Xiaoxi and her friends started preparing the second round of snacks.
After the guests left and went to other places, Xiaoxi handed Ye Zhongnan the ingredients that the idiot had just brought over—prepared shredded cabbage, diced carrots and radishes.
"Second brother, what do you think is appropriate to do with these?"
"Xiaoxi is so thoughtful. We can use these ingredients to make stuffed pancakes."
Ye Zhongnan then chopped some dried bean curd sticks and diced cured pork and mixed them together with the other three ingredients.
He started kneading the dough. Since the dough needed time to rise and ferment, Xiaoxi used her palm to channel some spiritual energy to speed up the fermentation process in order to save time.
Then the brother and sister chatted and laughed as they started wrapping pies, as if they had returned to the happy times when they set up a stall together on Guangda Street. This relaxed feeling didn't seem like they were participating in a food competition at all.
Although the cast iron pot set doesn't include a frying pan, the large cast iron pot works just as well. As long as the pressure is controlled well, the heat will be very even, and you'll be able to make golden and crispy pies.
The aroma attracted the judges again. In fact, they had long wanted to come to Ye Zhongnan's competition venue, but because they had gone too far yesterday, spending most of their time eating and drinking at the siblings' venue.
They had to avoid suspicion today, so they waited until now to come over, even though they had already wiped their saliva countless times.
Xiaoxi treated these judges like old friends, and her main strength was her thick skin.
"Uncles, aunts and uncles, come and try the pies my brother made, they're so delicious!"
There were no seats at the competition venue today, so they stood, took the still-hot pies with both hands, and kept blowing on them.
Even though it was very hot, they couldn't resist taking a big bite, and from each other's shining eyes, they could read the message that it was incredibly delicious.
When they took a bite of the pie, the crispy crust and the juicy, soft filling intertwined.
It offers a distinct layered taste experience, with the sweetness of the cabbage, the crunch of the radish, the aroma of the dried bean curd, and the filling of the cured meat, all combining to create a beautiful picture that leaves a lasting impression.
They couldn't stop eating, and the judges each ate two more.
The judges' praise was impossible to hide, which drew the ire of Zhang Dongxu on the other side.
He had just finished dealing with the cracked stone pot when he started making several more batches of bibimbap, and at the same time, his conjunctivitis flared up.
Zhang Dongxu shouted in broken Chinese.
"Judges, this contestant is clearly cheating. He and his assistant used my ingredients. They didn't have any cabbage or radishes; they got them all from me."
Ye Zhongnan and Xiao Xi stared at Zhang Dongxu as if he were an idiot, and Xiao Xi was about to argue with him.
Kong Xinlin arrived in time.
"My friend from South Korea, what you do and what you say are not the same thing."
Our staff clearly saw that you were giving these ingredients as a friendly gift to demonstrate the friendly exchanges between your country and China.
After you expressed your strong enthusiasm and even knelt down, our contestant finally couldn't refuse your kind offer and, adapting to the available ingredients, created a delicious snack.
Come on, let's all exchange cooking tips!
At this moment, Kong Xinlin appeared to be smiling, trying to smooth things over, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He even exaggeratedly used food tongs to pick up a pie and hand it to Zhang Dongxu.
Zhang Dongxu was caught in a dilemma: accepting the offer or not accepting it. In fact, he really didn't want to accept it; he even wanted to smash the pie in his face and stomp on it.
But reason told him he couldn't do that, so he reached out and took the pie.
