In fact, the people from the other restaurants all knew that Su Xinyu knew the people from General Mansion. However, they felt that Su Xinyu only knew a few officers or stewards. Now, after hearing Su Xinyu call Chief Officer Ji Uncle with their own ears, and the two of them being so intimate, those people were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat.
At this time, some people were rejoicing that they did not actually do anything that would be detrimental to their Su Family. At this point of time, it all depended on their abilities to win or lose. And if Su Xinyu won in the future, they would not continue to cause trouble for him. After all, the Prefect's adopted brother was the Chief Officer's nephew. Even though they all had a backer, they did not have the ability to see if they were in the right or wrong.
In order to be fair, all the dishes of the chefs had to be tasted by the other chefs participating in the competition. After Su Xinyu tasted the fourteen dishes and seven dishes of the other seven restaurants. In her heart, she had a better understanding of their craftsmanship. Among them, the Hundred Scented Dumplings, which were not too greasy or thin, had been stewed and hammered for a long time before being cooked. After the meat was cooked, it would become soft. The taste was salty and sweet, with a special fragrance in the mouth. Su Xinyu could taste it, it had to do with the dried shellfish and oysters, but there were still many that she could not taste in one mouthful. However, this was also the secret recipe passed down in her family. It was normal for her to not be able to taste it. In short, she liked this dish of roasted meat with the name ”peace on all sides” and was not stingy in praising it.
Boss Chen did not have any bad intentions in the first place, he had bought and tried the meat from Su Family before. He admitted that the braised pork in Su Family and his own family's meat had their own merits, and was not inferior to his family's formula. So after going back, he also reconfigured two types of meat recipes based on the inspiration from the Su Family, and they were all selling quite well now. So to him, it didn't matter if he was good or good. What was important was that he could see others' good and then improve along with them.
”Today, Boss Chen had tasted one of the two dishes on the Su Family and was impressed. Boss Su's Pine Crane Changqing taste was breathtaking. He thought it would be a light taste, but his taste was extremely surprising. It tasted soft but it was also elastic. It was indeed extraordinary when it came to the taste of its lips and teeth, and the fragrance of its fragrance lingered in the air. Master Sun's five blessings are impeccable regardless of carving craftsmanship and seasoning. As expected of the imperial chef! I am impressed! ”
At this time, the Xichun Pavilion's Boss Tian also came over. ”In my opinion, the most wonderful thing is still the longevity peach. Both the taste and the taste seemed to be my first attempt. Just one bite was enough to make people unable to stop. ”Boss Su, can you order a longevity peach from your shop on my mother's birthday next month?”
After Boss Tian finished speaking, quite a few people gathered around. Although the majority of the guests were honored guests, looking at this scene now, it felt a little like a market. But from this, it could be seen that they really did like cakes.
Su Xinyu promised them one by one. However, she told everyone that as long as they sent a servant to register at the store, it would be fine. After all, there were early and late birthdays, so she still had to do it according to the time. No one asked for the price, but everyone silently agreed that the longevity peach buns weren't cheap. Talking about the price in this situation was a bit shameful. And since Su Xinyu was Chief Officer Ji's nephew and the Prefect's foster brother, and this thing was so novel, it wouldn't make sense if she gave it to him for less money.
The competition this time around was decided by the one hundred citizens. And in the end, they thought that Sun Xiguang's Five Blessed Birthday was the most delicious one.
Actually, the noodles inside the bowl were sour and sweet. Even though it was already autumn, it was already noon. At this moment, they were eating the sour and sweet cold noodles, which naturally gave them an extra layer of advantage. What's more, the flavor itself was already very outstanding.
The second place was the ”peace on all sides”. The smell of roasted meat could be said to be familiar to everyone in the city. Although the materials were incomplete, they were still highly sought after. After all, the locals had their own taste preferences, and one of them was the roast meat.
And Su Xinyu's ”Pine Crane Chang Qing” was only number four. Amongst the sixteen dishes in total, she could be considered one of the best. In front of her was also the ”Five Blessings Longevity Noodle” of the Nine Fresh Breeze House. The longevity noodles were not ordinary hand-rolled or stretched noodles, but five different colors and five different colors of noodles made from fish, shrimp, pork, cuttlefish, and kelp. When these ingredients were combined with the rice flour, each and every one of them tasted delicious.
Su Xinyu was also extremely impressed with the noodles. Even though there were still flaws, they were enough to be considered superior. Be it the taste, taste, or appearance, they could all be included in the menu of their Royal Kitchen.
As for the fact that she was only ranked fourth, she did it on purpose. She was still young after all, and her relationship with the Li family and General Mansion was not something that would shy away from the masses. Therefore, if she was able to enter the top three, there might be people who would gossip about her in the future. It wasn't easy to get stuck in the fourth position either. One less point was not enough, and one more point was too much. In these few months, Su Xinyu sent people to buy all kinds of dishes in other restaurants to test and judge their punishments level.
However, the noodle soup was served separately. The golden longevity peach from the Yuxiang Restaurant seemed to be the undisputed number one. Which is to say, among all the works that will take place in Su Family, two will take first place, one will take fourth, and there won't be anything more impressive than Su Family. This made those people unable to accept it. They had no choice but to accept it. They couldn't be faked tasting the food in their mouths. If they were still dissatisfied with this, then it would really be unjustifiable.
After the competition ended, Li Baoxiao and the rest had even arranged for a performance for the night. When the commoners heard that they would be able to listen to the show for free tonight, they all became interested. It was a lively scene of people taking up space and carrying items. It really was a birthday celebration.
As for the other participants, those who had a good ranking, all let out a long sigh of relief. However there were high and low rankings. First place was first place, so some people were happy while others were worried. However, in the end, they had to blame themselves for having lost face. That was what they were scheming in their own hearts.
