Fang Wenxuan picked up the spoon without saying a word, scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it himself.
Then, somewhat awkwardly, he explained, "Actually, I learned this dish by myself from a video on TikTok. However, time was tight today, and the ingredients here weren't particularly complete. That's why I wasn't able to truly recreate this dish."
"Oh! So your teacher is Douyin! Come to think of it, he's quite the expert. After all, many culinary masters have opened Douyin accounts. Hahaha!"
Seeing Fang Wenxuan making a fool of himself, Xie Jinglong laughed heartily.
If Xia Tian and Xie Jinglong were only mocking Fang Wenxuan secretly, then the fans in the live broadcast room were cursing him openly.
: Fuck, what the hell, he pretends to be so serious, but turns out to be just a newbie who has been watching TikTok for a few days.
That's not true. Didn't Brother Long say there are so many masters on Douyin? Maybe Fang Wenxuan is actually a disciple of a true master. It's just that he did it secretly. I'm afraid even his so-called master doesn't know he has a disciple like him.
: Hahaha! This really made me laugh to death. The national banquet dish, boiled cabbage, was made into boiled cabbage. Does this guy think that the name is enough to qualify as a national banquet dish?
: Looking at this guy's hypocritical face, I think Qiu Mengyun's cooking skills are more worthy of respect. At least, she doesn't cheat, and no matter how bad the food is, she dares to admit that it is her own culinary creation.
: Tsk! Who the hell is Fang Wenxuan? How dare he be compared with our goddess Mengyun?
: I'm really looking forward to his next performance. If the cabbage in boiled water can be replaced by the cabbage boiled in plain water, I wonder what kind of surprises the lion's head and nine-turn large intestine will bring to everyone.
Perhaps because she saw Xie Jinglong had vented his anger, He Yunting said openly without waiting for Chen Qingqing to come to the rescue: "Haha, since the boiled cabbage accidentally failed due to the relationship between time and ingredients, why don't we take a look at this lion's head dish."
When Xia Tian heard that they were going to try the lion's head, he quickly shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, I've already tried two dishes in a row. This time, I'll leave the chance to show off to you!"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Xie Jinglong volunteered, "Since this lion's head is what we exchanged, let me try it first!"
After he finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and cut the fist-sized meat ball in the bowl into pieces. He picked up a small piece of meat and put it into his mouth to taste it slowly.
After just two chews, Xie Jinglong frowned.
He looked at Fang Wenxuan and asked, "What seasonings did you put in the filling?"
Fang Wenxuan didn't understand why he asked that, but he answered honestly: "Stir-fry King, chicken essence, MSG, thirteen spices..."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Did I not use the right amount of seasoning? I put too much of one ingredient. But that shouldn't be the case. I used a spoon to add the measured amount."
Seeing his puzzled look, Xie Jinglong shook his head and said, "No, there isn't any extra seasoning, but one is missing."
"Ah? Something is missing. What is missing?" Fang Wenxuan asked in surprise.
He remembered that he had not missed anything, so how could this be missing?
Chen Qingqing also asked curiously, "Brother Long, when did you become so good? You can even tell if there's one seasoning missing."
Xie Jinglong laughed and said, "Haha, it's not that I'm great, but the thing he's missing is too obvious. Let alone me, I'm afraid any kid can tell by eating it."
"Is it that weird?" Chen Qingqing seemed to not quite believe what Xie Jinglong said, so she picked up the chopsticks and took a small piece to taste.
After a moment, she looked at Fang Wenxuan with a strange expression: "Did you forget to add salt? Why doesn't it taste salty at all?"
"Uh! I seem to have forgotten. I was too busy just now and overlooked the salt." After hearing what Chen Qingqing said, Fang Wenxuan remembered that he seemed to have not added salt.
Hearing that she didn't even add salt, Xia Tian, Qiu Mengyun and He Yunting immediately put down their chopsticks and didn't even have the desire to try.
They didn't believe in Fang Wenxuan's cooking skills in the first place, and now he didn't even add salt, so needless to say, the taste was definitely not going to be good.
Seeing the questioning looks everyone gave him, Fang Wenxuan awkwardly explained, "It was a mistake this time. How about you try my Nine-Turn Large Intestine? I've made this dish before, and my skills are pretty good. I definitely won't fail."
"Let's not do that. The program team stipulates that only two dishes can be exchanged. You can keep this Nine-Turn Large Intestine for yourselves." Xia Tian was the first to politely decline.
He had no objection to trying boiled cabbage. After all, it was cabbage boiled in plain water, so no matter how bad it tasted, it couldn't be that bad.
But there are so many tricks to this Nine-Turn Large Intestine. With Fang Wenxuan's unreliable cooking skills, he might end up making a fool of himself. He doesn't want to try it himself.
Seeing Fang Wenxuan looking at him again, Xie Jinglong also declined: "I won't try it. I just ate lion's head, and it's easy to mix the taste of the nine-turn large intestine now."
Hearing his outrageous excuse, Xia Tian couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up.
Goodness, eating different dishes will cause the flavors to mix. This is the first time he's heard of such an outrageous excuse. If Fang Wenxuan hadn't been there, he really wanted to ask Xie Jinglong how he usually eats? And how he ensures that when eating more than two dishes, they don't mix their flavors?
"I have never liked eating large intestines since I was a child, so I'm sorry!" Qiu Mengyun also saw that Fang Wenxuan was unreliable, and quickly said the excuse she had thought of long ago.
