He Jing didn't care what others thought at all; she just gave He Zhou a reassuring look.
She gave He Zhou a slight smile, and his anger immediately subsided. He let out a cold snort in his heart, his face darkening as he remained silent.
The member disdainfully stuffed the fish meat into his mouth, but was stunned as soon as it entered his mouth. The carp meat, which should have been coarse, was not inferior to Du Xi's sour soup braised sea bass in terms of tenderness and smoothness. The rich taste was even purer than that of the sea bass!
His eyes widened, and he almost lost his grip on the chopsticks. One chopstick slipped from his palm and fell out of his hand, but fortunately he reacted in time and grabbed it back.
He murmured in shock, "How could this be..."
The young men from the food club next to them, who were hesitantly staring at the boneless fish on their chopsticks and about to eat it, quickly put it down upon hearing this and asked repeatedly, "What do you mean? Is it particularly awful?"
In their minds, there was no option that "He Jing's fish tastes better than Du Xi's fish".
The member didn't answer for a long time, then picked up a little more with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. This time, the fish tasted even better than before, as if it had gone from "one kind of freshness" to "two kinds of freshness". He looked at He Jing in astonishment, not understanding why there was such a fish in the world.
The other members urged anxiously, "Tell us quickly, is it delicious or not? Why are you looking at her like that?"
Du Xi's expression finally changed.
She changed her nonchalant attitude, her eyes became wary, she blew out bubble gum, and picked up some fish with her chopsticks.
The younger members of the Wonderful Food Club, fearing that Du Xi might eat something bad, nervously called out, "Senior Sister Du Xi!"
Du Xi deftly put the boneless fish into her mouth. The fresh aroma of ham and the equally fresh aroma of winter bamboo shoots filled her mouth in an instant. The original flavor of the fish did not play any role in modifying it. Instead, it was like a accompaniment. The three flavors blended together perfectly, each flavor inseparable from the other, so pure that there was not a trace of meaty taste.
What's with this flavor that's even blander than vegetables...?
Du Xi turned to He Jing abruptly: "What did you do?"
He Jing wagged her index finger and smiled gently: "It's a secret."
Du Xi slowly put down her chopsticks and remained silent for a while before gradually coming back to her senses. She said regretfully, "Although I don't know what technique you used to make this fish, in terms of taste alone, it still can't beat mine."
Her sour soup braised perch was still better than her fish.
What a pity.
Nevertheless, she felt that what her master had said before she left the province was true: Yu Tou's disciple was indeed the strongest among their opponents.
If He Jing adds further innovation to the competition...
Before the thought even crossed his mind, the member who had taken two bites earlier picked up another piece with his chopsticks, and after finishing it, his expression changed from "What is this thing?" to "Just as I expected."
The "two delicacies" have become "three delicacies." The Three Delicacies Boneless Fish truly lives up to its name; it wouldn't be possible without any of the delicacies.
He seemed to have eaten an incredibly incredible dish.
He stared blankly at Du Xi, then lowered his head, feeling ashamed that he had betrayed Miaoshi Society and had submitted to someone else's culinary skills.
The chefs at Ziyang Hotel perked up at the sight of the dish. They looked at the seemingly ordinary boneless fish with three kinds of seafood and wondered if there was some kind of twist in the story.
So they all picked up their chopsticks and started eating the boneless fish.
In an instant, completely different opinions came from the kitchen:
"The fish dipped in the broth is perfectly balanced, a truly authentic Sichuan boiled fish."
"The taste is a bit like Sichuan pepper fish, but not as pungent."
"It's bland, really bland, unbelievably bland."
