“Bang!”
The bottom of the clay pot exploded, and rice grains and sausage meat sprayed everywhere. The entire pot of rice was ruined.
The live broadcast cut to Zhao Man’s face.
There was shock, disbelief, and frustration on her face.
The audience below the stage was also discussing.
“What’s going on?”
...“Aiyo, the pot has exploded. She’s going to be eliminated in this round. What a pity.”
“How could this be!”
“The quality of the pot is not good…”
“What a pity. Originally, Zhao Man had a chance of winning the championship. Now, everything has been ruined.”
Qin Lang mocked, “She can just take third place. Third place is not bad either.”
He sat below the stage and watched with a smile, not surprised at all.
He was the one who did this.
In the afternoon before the competition, when the contestants handed in the materials, he sent his eldest disciple, Zhang Cheng, to tamper with the bottom of the casserole.
As long as she turned the fire on, the clay pot would definitely crack. Song An would definitely win this competition.
Zhao Man still wanted to compete with his little disciple?
She probably wouldn’t be able to win him in this lifetime.
Ye Tang clenched her fists and stood up. “What happened?”
On the big screen, Zhao Man moved!
She looked at the remaining time of the competition, closed her eyes, and calculated silently. Then, she opened her eyes and went to wash the rice.
The host held the microphone and said, “It seems that Chef Zhao wants to make a new one, but there are only 20 minutes left. I’m afraid it’s not enough.”
The first pot took Zhao Man nearly 40 minutes.
There were still twenty minutes left.
There’s only half the amount of time left. Was it too late?’
On the stage.
Zhao Man continued the steps in an orderly manner.
She took out an iron pot. After washing the rice, she placed the rice in and braised it again.
Below the stage.
Qin Lang shook his head. “The time is too short and she’s using an iron pot. She can’t make it at all. Hahaha…”
The person beside him smiled. “This time, the little girl should be defeated.”
In the last ten minutes.
The other two contestants finished their dishes. Only Zhao Man was still busy.
She shortened the time, step by step.
“Last three minutes!”
The host stood at the edge of the stage and reminded Zhao Man.
Zhao Man turned the heat to the lowest and slowly roasted the rice crust. Only when the fragrance of the rice crust overflowed did she finally feel relieved.
She had succeeded!
The last minute.
Thirty seconds.
The host announced loudly, “The competition is over!”
The three contestants placed their dishes on the long table on the stage and waited for the judges to taste them.
Zhao Man took a deep breath and retreated to the side.
She had already done her best and had a clear conscience. The rest was up to the heavens.
Even if she lost, she had no regrets.
The three gourmet judges went on stage and tasted three delicacies in succession.
Master of Cantonese Cuisine, Wang Rong, stood in front of Song An and commented.
Wang Rong commented, “This widely flavored roasted squab is roasted with fruit wood. The outer skin is brown with oil. The taste is slightly sweet and salty. The meat is firm and tender. It’s impeccable. I think contestant number five is first place.”
Song An bowed confidently. “Thank you, Master Wang.”
He glanced at Zhao Man smugly.
Zhao Man’s expression did not change.
Food critic Zhou Ling tasted Zhang De’s dish.
She said in an intoxicated manner, “No. 8’s steamed bass is too fragrant. The meat of this bass is fresh and tender, and the taste is mellow. Every bite is delicious.”
The camera panned to the bass.
The fish was fair and tender, and the vegetables were green. It was very beautiful.
After tasting the preserved rice, Jin Xu nodded and said, “This preserved rice is not bad either.”
He nodded at Zhao Man with certainty.
The first two judges also walked over and tasted the rice that was cooked in 20 minutes.
When the food entered their mouths, Zhou Ling and Wang Rong were shocked.
Wang Rong hurriedly asked, “Did you make the cured meat and sausage yourself?”
Zhao Man nodded.
Zhou Ling picked up the cured meat and saw that the cured meat was bright red and the meat was firm. The fragrance of the wine was sweet and the texture was oily.
After eating it in one bite, the fragrance wafted into his nose. The sauce was rich.
This clay pot rice was not simple!
Zhou Ling tasted another mouthful of rice crust. “The rice crust is very crispy, and the vegetables also have the fragrance of meat.”
As she chewed, she picked up another ball of rice.
Every grain of rice was filled with the fragrance of the meat. It was soft and fragrant.
It was too delicious!
Zhou Ling secretly sighed.
What a pity!
If she had not taken Master Qin’s money, she would definitely have given this pot rice a high score. This pot of rice was the best.
The host walked up. “Since all four of you have tasted it, please return to the judges’ seats to give your marks! This round is 30 points. Who will get the highest score?”
The four of them returned to the judges’ seats.
The three contestants left the stage to rest.
Wang Rong and Zhou Ling looked at each other and wrote 30 points for contestant number five.
The two of them wrote 20 points for contestant number four.
As such, no matter how high Jin Xu’s score was, it was impossible for Zhao Man to get the highest score.
The scores were anonymous and would not be announced.
The two of them were even more fearless.
