BXBX NOVEL Chapter 18 - 18 Food Fight Results
“Respected judges, please taste it.”
Qin Lang served the dishes to the five judges, “This dish is called Red Braised Oxtail.”
After saying that, he quietly stood beside Du Weiwei, waiting for the judges’ evaluations.
“Is that all you’re going to say?” Du Weiwei whispered, “During the judges’ tasting process, you can introduce the dish more.”
“Thank you for the reminder.” Qin Lang smiled, “But I think, this should be enough.”
A slight noise caught Du Weiwei’s attention.
She turned her head towards the judging panel, and her eyes widened involuntarily.
The five judges were tasting the dishes with satisfying expressions on their faces.
When they tasted her dish earlier, they had no expression on their faces!
This…
Suddenly, Du Weiwei had a bad premonition.
“Phew!”
Zhou Yun, who had tasted the Red Braised Oxtail, exhaled a murky breath, wiped his mouth and then took a sip of water. He looked at Qin Lang with slightly strange eyes.
As the chief judge, Zhou Yun already knew the ingredients prepared by both parties in advance.
When he learned that Qin Lang used the unpopular oxtail as one of the ingredients, he was not very optimistic.
However, when he actually tasted the soft and gummy oxtail filled with delicious sauce and the savory taste of meat, it changed his perspective entirely.
The oxtail could actually be this delicious?
Once this Food Fight was over, he could also buy some to try cooking it himself.
Other judges successively finished tasting. Zhou Yun regained his senses and spoke aloud, “Tasting of both dishes is now completed, now it’s time for the judges to vote. As the presiding judge, I will cast the final vote.”
“Voting begins!”
As Zhou Yun’s voice fell, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.
The female judge sitting at the leftmost of the panel smiled, “I vote for Qin Lang. This dish called Red Braised Oxtail was a pleasant surprise.”
One vote for Qin Lang!
Du Weiwei’s hands tightened slightly, Qin Lang taking the lead made her more nervous, and she watched the second judge carefully.
“I also choose Qin Lang.” The male judge pushed his glasses and spoke without any hesitation.
Two votes for Qin Lang!
“I choose Qin Lang.” Yet another judge spoke.
Three votes for Qin Lang!
When three out of five judges give their votes, the result of this Food Fight was already decided in advance.
Weiwei slowly loosened her tight hand, her face wore a slightly regretful expression.
Did she lose?
In fact, when she saw the judges tasting her dish, she had a faint premonition. But when the premonition came true at this moment, she still felt hollow inside.
“Gurgle!”
Dan Bao excitedly circled around Qin Lang’s head.
They won!
They won the Food Fight!
Seeing Dan Bao so excited, Qin Lang couldn’t help but smile.
“Weiwei…” In the audience seats, Qi Xiaoyu looked at Du Weiwei standing on the stage, wishing she could hold her in her arms immediately.
“Didn’t you support Qin Lang?” Zhao Chen couldn’t help but speak.
“None of your business!” Qi Xiaoyu glared at Zhao Chen sharply and turned away.
Zhao Chen shook his head.
Women are really strange.
Then, he looked at Qin Lang with some admiration.
Indeed, he was a great rival!
Even if the victor was already decided, the remaining judges still had to make their votes.
As expected, the result of voting was unanimous, Qin Lang won unanimously.
“Now is the stage where both parties taste each other’s dishes.” Zhou Yun calmly said, “If you have objections to the voting results, you can raise them.”
“This is my Crab & Cheese Baked Noodles, please taste it.” Du Weiwei, without any delay, opened the kitchen cabinet car, served her dish to Qin Lang, and then stared at Qin Lang’s kitchen cabinet car.
Even if she lost, she wanted a clear understanding.
What was the taste of the dish that the opponent had made that allowed the five judges to vote unanimously?
“Red Braised Oxtail, please try it.” Qin Lang served a portion to Du Weiwei.
Unlike Du Weiwei, he kept two portions in his kitchen cabinet car.
The last portion was prepared for Dan Bao.
After the judging was over, Dan Bao happily approached and tasted the final portion of Red Braised Oxtail, looking thoroughly satisfied.
Qin Lang also began to seriously taste Du Weiwei’s dish.
The picked out crab meat and crab roe were baked with cheese and noodles.
The method was somewhat similar to Baked Crab Treasure, and the texture of the noodles was akin to pasta.
The unique milky and slightly salty flavour of the cheese, coupled with the fresh taste of the crab, fully enveloped each strand of al-dente noodles.
In his previous life, this would have been a speciality of an Internet-famous restaurant.
On the other side, Du Weiwei was amazed as she swallowed her first bite of oxtail.
The gap was that wide?
The rich meaty aroma combined with the various spice’s flavours, the soft oxtail replete with collagen, the taste was astonishingly good, and with every bite, juice squirted between her lips and teeth.
After finishing one piece of the oxtail, Du Weiwei couldn’t help but look at Qin Lang, her eyes darted towards the satisfied Dan Bao beside him.
She hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked towards her own Food Spirit.
Indeed, she didn’t even prepare a portion for her Food Spirit.
At this moment, Du Weiwei’s Food Spirit was quietly flying in the air, stealing glances at the Red Braised Oxtail in her hand, but obediently restraining its desire to taste it.
Du Weiwei smiled faintly, and presented her plate to her Food Spirit, “You can taste it too.”
Watching her own Food Spirit cheerfully tasting the food, she sighed inwardly.
She had lost in every aspect.
“Once both sides have finished tasting each other’s dishes, is there any objection to the voting results?” Zhou Yun calmly opened his mouth, his gaze turned to Du Weiwei.
Usually, the one who objects is the loser.
Du Weiwei shook her head slightly, “No objections.”
Zhou Yun nodded and then announced loudly, “In that case, I declare the winner of this Food Fight to be…”
“Qin Lang!”
As Zhou Yun’s words fell, a ball of light quickly appeared in the void, splitting into two, heading towards Qin Lang and Du Weiwei.
“Doodle!”
Dan Bao excitedly approached, absorbing the ball of light that belonged to it. The star orbiting around it became even brighter, its eyes full of joy.
The feeling of getting stronger was here!
“Weiwei don’t cry, hug-”
After the Food Fight ends, Qi Xiaoyu ran up to hug Du Weiwei
“There’s no need to cry.” Du Weiwei laughed and pushed Qi Xiaoyu away, then approached Qin Lang, “Thank you, this Food Fight has taught me a lot.” “Huh?” Qin Lang scratched his head.
Did he do something?
“Not bad, you are indeed a worthy opponent in my eyes, Zhao Chen, only by defeating you can I prove my strength!” Zhao Chen confidently approached, “I want to challenge you to a Spirit Battle, how about it?”
He was not the same as he was a few days ago!
“No time.” Qin Lang rolled his eyes, “I have to go to the restaurant where I’m doing my internship.”
“Then… tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow I have to visit a Food Recommender.” Qin Lang rejected once again without mercy.
Du Weiwei fell silent on the side.
Interning at a restaurant, visiting a Food Recommender.
These are things that she couldn’t do with her current cooking skills.
But that’s okay, she will work harder to improve her cooking skills.
Along with her Food Spirit.
Du Weiwei turned her head, sharing a smile with her own Food Spirit.
