Chapter 122 Are you worthy of being called a food critic?
No one can remain indifferent when being scolded by others!
Li Shan's face turned pale and he said sternly:
"Just because I respect you because you're older doesn't mean I'm afraid of you! Eating is a subjective experience for everyone! Besides, I've eaten at least 800 Texas Braised Chickens, if not a thousand, so I know what a really good Texas Braised Chicken is! If you don't know, please don't interfere with my profession and work!"
Many people in the barrage echoed: [Yes, Li Shan is a food critic with a wide range of experience, and his taste must be more discerning than ordinary people. ]
[Why can’t we be harsh on Nanzhi? Variety shows are almost promoting her as a modern-day cooking god! Now you can’t allow professionals to come out and comment? You are too sensitive! ]
[I think what Mr. Li Shan said makes a lot of sense. The world is big and can accommodate praise, and it should also accommodate criticism! ]
[This old man is so annoying. Who is he? He comes up and takes advantage of his age. It turns out that these days, the bad guys who make trouble for no reason have all grown old! ]
[Hehe, I have met this kind of person before. He relied on his age and seniority to talk nonsense. It is impossible to reason with such a person. Teacher Li Shan, just ignore him! ]
…
The argument even reached the ears of Nanzhi who was busy in the kitchen.
She temporarily put down what she was doing, wiped her wet hands with a towel, and walked to the kitchen door.
A little tail named Nan Yi followed closely behind him.
And Xie Yu also followed out of curiosity.
They happened to run into Fu Chao head-on.
Xie Yu frowned and looked outside:
"What's going on?"
Fu Chao said succinctly:
"Just now the food critic was picking a fight, and a diner was speaking up for justice!"
This statement... can be said to be very obvious! Even the barrage was silent for a few seconds because of Fu Chao's attitude.
Some people stood up and accused Fu Chao of being too biased.
Fortunately, Fu Chao has a large amount of traffic, many fans, and is popular among the public, so a large number of people immediately stood up to defend him.
"Mother."
Nan Yi held Nan Zhi's hand with some concern, frowning tightly, and asked,
"Is that person saying something bad about you?"
Nanzhi comforts:
"Who cares what he says! We don't need to care even if it's bad."
Her calm and nonchalant attitude reveals her strong inner confidence.
Or maybe it's her confidence in her professional ability! What a joke!
She had once reached the pinnacle of cooking in another world and controlled the lifeline of the country in the name of the God of Cooking. Would she care about a few words of criticism from a guy who claimed to be a food critic? It was just a dog barking!
Her confidence infected Nan Yi and also comforted the worried Fu Chao and Xie Yu.
Only the audience in the live broadcast room were not happy to hear this: [Nanzhi is a bit too arrogant, be careful not to fall. ]
[Before, fans could still wash her clothes and think that it was just marketing by the program team, but now it seems that Nanzhi also thinks she is a cooking god! ]
[Brother Fu, stop giving me the thumbs up and be quiet... Never mind, I will spoil you anyway!]
[Alas, Nanzhi is really a little too young and frivolous. Little does she know that there are always people better than you. She should be more humble. ]
…
If Nanzhi heard someone say that she was not humble enough, she would probably laugh.
Is she not humble enough?
If she is really arrogant, with her strength, she should just stand up and point her finger at everyone and say -
Everybody here is garbage!
Nanzhi was not in a hurry at this time, so she simply leaned against the door and watched the show.
Beside him, Fu Chao was rubbing his hands in preparation:
"Don't worry! If that guy dares to bully me, I'll give him a left hook!"
Fu Chao fans: ...Brother, can you say this? However, the following developments were somewhat unexpected——
The chubby uncle didn't argue with Li Shan, but calmed down instead.
Of course, that's just the surface.
His eyes towards Li Shan were still full of contempt:
"Professional? If you can be called professional, then all the food magazines in the world should just go bankrupt! You must have eaten a lot of Dezhou Braised Chicken, right? Then tell me, what are the characteristics of Dezhou Braised Chicken?"
Li Shan had a bad feeling, but he still said stubbornly: "Of course I know! It's just that the meat is rotten and the bones are falling off!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"That's right, the meat is so tender that it falls off the bones! After a long period of slow cooking, the shape looks intact, but when you lift it with chopsticks, the chicken bones will automatically fall off! So there is a degree of control here - if it is overcooked, the chicken will just rot in the pot, and if it is not cooked enough, the bones won't fall off! The Texas Braised Chicken in this restaurant is so perfect and beautiful from the time it is presented to the time it is served that it is easily mistaken for being held up by chicken bones. But just now I saw that as soon as you touched it with your chopsticks, the chicken meat just fell off without any effort. Is there anything more in line with the four words 'tender meat falls off the bones' than this?"
As he said that, the old man quickly turned around, picked up the chopsticks on his table, picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth.
While eating, he nodded frantically: "Mm, the meat is tender and the flavor is mellow, this Dezhou Braised Chicken is the best! Even I have never eaten a Dezhou Braised Chicken that tastes better than this! You have tasted it just now, and you are still talking nonsense? Are you sure you are not here to collect money and do things?"
The old man seemed to be filled with righteous indignation and took two more pieces of chicken with his chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.
While chewing, his expression switched between intoxication and anger.
...Because his series of actions were so natural that no one would think that "the old man was deliberately cheating"!
Then look at the old man’s own table, well, not a single dish has been served.
Li Shan's expression was not very good.
He didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually an expert. Every word he said hit the nail on the head, making his previous comments seem very confusing.
But he couldn't admit it.
At this point, it was not just a matter of him getting paid for his work, but also about his professional reputation and career! So he had to continue to be tough:
"Uncle, I still say the same thing. I am a professional. My perspective on these dishes is different from that of ordinary diners. There are some things you don't understand!"
The old man argued confidently: "What's the difference? It's all about eating. You feel superior just by eating!"
"How can they be the same? I'm a judge of the Delicacy Record!"
Li Shan said sternly! The old man's face paused, and then became strange.
There are complex emotions such as shame, guilt, etc., such as "I saw a house collapsed and ran to join in the fun, but when I got closer, I found that it was my own house that collapsed."
Li Shan thought that it was his identity that intimidated this unreasonable uncle.
He raised his chin: "Look, uncle, you don't understand my business. This is professional..."
"Who is it..."
The uncle held up his forehead and asked weakly.
Li Shan frowned:
"What's who?"
"I'm asking you, who was the person who recommended you to be on the judges list for the Treasure Record? Tell me the name right now!"
The uncle rolled up his sleeves, and his aggressive look made it clear that he was looking for someone to settle a score with!
