C153 The Judges Could Not Help but Fall from the Stage (1/2)

Everyone was slicing pork and preparing the dishes, yet Ann Sudong stood on the stage with his eyes closed for three minutes without doing anything.

”Don't tell me that this kid doesn't know how to cook East Slope's meat? Until now, he still hasn't made a move. East Slope's meat takes a lot of time, so he might lose if he delays this match.”

”Haha, this kid is at the end of his rope. I bet this kid only knows how to cook soup. He probably won't be able to cook hard dishes like this!”

”That might not be the case. Maybe he's just thinking about innovation. Let's figure it out first, then start. Otherwise, he might get flustered later.”

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Mu Lingyan and the others were very worried too. Ann Sudong had never told them that he knew how to cook before, and it was all because of him suddenly participating in the competition.

Hong Yingyue and Mu Lingyan were forever filled with curiosity towards Ann Sudong.

”Mr. Wang Yang, look at what this brat is doing. I think he can't even cook East Slope meat, right?”

The evaluators looked at Ann Sudong who was standing there unmoving and were truly curious.

”He definitely knows how to cook this dish, so he might not have done it before, but right now, he's definitely thinking about innovation. That's because if he were to use traditional cooking methods, the old chefs on the field would all be stronger than him, so he's going on a new path. This round, he might be in danger.”

Wang Yang did not think highly of him in this round, because he had already eaten East Slope Meat Hua Xia for thousands of years and there were quite a lot of innovative dishes, but there were basically no delicious dishes in this round.

Ann Sudong thought it through in his mind. He used the ancient recipe passed down to him from the Master Chef, and now the method of using the Eastern Slope Meat was mostly based on the color of the soy sauce and the sugar in the stew.

Soy sauce can color and flavour, sugar can go fishy and fresh.

This ancient recipe, on the other hand, was not like this. It used white wine to remove the smell, caramel to color, and sour plums to flavour. The taste of the East Slope meat was very exquisite and not greasy, making one feel refreshed and sour.

Ann Sudong began to move. He first dug out six plums from a corner of the ingredients and used it to cut them open. After removing the cores, he cut the plums and soaked them in water for reserve.

”What's he going to do with that sour plum? Don't tell me he wants to use the sour plum to make East Slope meat? Isn't he just messing around? Can the pork even taste good if it's sour?”

”He's just standing there for so long and thinking about it. Isn't this a joke? He's definitely going to lose this round, and he's definitely at the bottom!”

”Haha …” ”Let's see how this kid will make a fool of himself later on. The judges onstage are a bunch of old men who can't stand to be jealous. They'll probably lose their teeth later!”

”Mr. Wang Yang, do you know how to make East Slope Meat with sour plums? Is that really feasible? I think he cut a few more.”

Seeing the discussion from the audience, one of the evaluators couldn't help but ask the most authoritative person, Mr. Wang Yang, if he knew.

I've never heard of anyone making East Slope Meat or putting plums in it. In fact, plums are rarely used in any of the dishes. Even if they were used, they would only be used for flavoring purposes.

Wang Yang was still too young, after all. Although it was true that being young was a form of endowment, innovation had to be done the same. This was simply subverting the traditions.
