He Jing said calmly, "Please enjoy the boneless fish with three kinds of delicacies."
Upon hearing this, Du Xi blew a bubble with a "pop," tilted her head, and winked at the young men of the Miaoshi Club. The young men quickly brought her clean bowls and chopsticks, and disinfected them three times with boiling water before handing them to her.
She picked up her chopsticks to eat the boneless fish with seafood, but He Jing grabbed her hand and said calmly, "Eat it later, be careful it's hot."
The fish, still covered in broth, was too hot to eat.
Du Xi raised an eyebrow and gave He Jing a subtle look.
Could it be that she herself isn't sure about the taste of this fish when she makes such a fuss?
Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway...
Never mind, we can eat it later.
The members of the Wonderful Food Club thought the same thing, and their gazes towards the fish became strange. As members of the Wonderful Food Club, they were not only good at cooking, but also notoriously picky eaters, and they certainly didn't want to eat any culinary disasters...
The chefs at Ziyang Grand Hotel looked at each other with solemn expressions for a while before one of them left to eat Du Xi's sour soup braised perch.
For them, the fact that He Jing's cooking was inferior to Du Xi's was a nightmare, and of course they were unwilling to accept this fact.
As expected, the chef, after eating the sour soup braised perch, put down his chopsticks with a heavy heart, as if attending a funeral, while chewing on the top-notch delicacy. He said in an extremely gloomy tone: "The fish is delicate and melts in your mouth. The rich sour soup has the flavor of Guizhou pickled vegetables from a long time ago. It permeates the inside of the fish. Every bite of the fish is full of sour juice. With the addition of tomatoes, the sourness is not reduced, but rather made sweet and fresh... Whether it is in terms of color, aroma or taste, it is an impeccable dish. If I had to give it a score, I would give it full marks."
The older chef's expression crumbled, and only two words filled his mind—
It's over.
How can He Jing possibly beat such delicious food?
The younger members of the Wonderful Food Society were excited upon hearing this praise, and they proudly hummed, "Our Senior Sister Du Xi is the face of the Wonderful Food Society. There's no fish in this world that she can't cook well. Even Master admires her fish."
The chefs at Ziyang Grand Hotel sighed in unison, looking at He Jing with worried expressions. It seemed that the prestigious reputation of Ziyang Grand Hotel was truly in jeopardy; if word got out, their prestige would plummet.
As a time-honored brand in the city, it not only represents the local food culture, but also the legacy passed down over many years...
He Zhou suddenly let out a cold laugh, his thin lips curling into a mocking smile: "Like an old woman selling melons, praising her own wares."
The members of the Wonderful Food Club immediately turned red with anger: "You..."
He Zhou glanced at them sideways: "Isn't that right?"
Du Xi interrupted forcefully: "Alright, stop bragging, let's eat someone else's food."
A member of the Wonderful Food Club muttered under his breath, "This boneless fish with three kinds of delicacies doesn't look appetizing at all. It even caused an explosion just now. Senior Sister Du Xi, why were you being so lenient with them?"
Du Xi tapped him: "Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."
Even if it's not cooked well, you should still eat it properly before giving your opinion; that's a sign of respect for the chef.
The member had no choice but to go. Reluctantly, he picked up his chopsticks and followed the other underlings, gesturing a few times at the boneless fish with three kinds of seafood, then pickily poking at it with his chopsticks.
He Zhou was furious and clenched his fists.
He Jing, on the other hand, was good-natured. She stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching calmly, as if the dish had nothing to do with her.
To others, this appears to be the behavior of a loser whose mentality has collapsed and who has given up entirely.
