”Mom, it's not going to happen. I've eaten sister's pine mushrooms before. They're delicious and definitely won't be a problem!”

”What do you mean 'no problem'? If that girl Qiu Niang wins all the votes, will she still have a chance?”

Old Woman Su was extremely worried. Since she had already lost, why was she still standing there? Quickly come down and flee. Perhaps, she might even be able to retrieve her life!

”Old man, are you saying something?”

”What are you saying? Isn't the outcome still uncertain?” What are you so anxious for? ”

On the stage, everyone was waiting for the judge to make the final decision. After the three judges finished eating, they had a vivid aftertaste. They all felt that the taste of the mushrooms was inconceivable. It was a taste they had never tasted before.

It was smooth and refreshing, with a strange fragrance in the mouth. It lingered on her lips and teeth for a long time.

”Miss, dare I ask, how did you remove the smoke from this carbon?”

She had eaten many different kinds of pine mushrooms before, fried and stewed, but none of them were as delicious as the one she had today. She had only used the simplest cooking method, yet she was able to bring out the best of their natural flavor.

It's like this, this is from the mountain, it has been birthed from the essence of heaven and earth, and has a very good therapeutic effect. I wrapped it in oil first, and I've already dealt with the carbon grilled from the oil, so that the carbon won't have any serious smoke when it's roasted, and it tastes the same as when it's fried. However, it's not fried, it's originally a delicious ingredient, and in fact, it doesn't need to be cooked with much thought.

”Well said, we cooks are just there to let the ingredients display their most delicious taste. Cooking is actually just a way. Miss Su, you're right. The things we cook are also delicious. I'll vote for you.”

After hearing her words, one of the judges agreed with her opinion!

”I'll vote for you too!”

When these words came out, everyone felt extremely pleasantly surprised. What? Su Jinsi's carburized pine antler had earned the favor of the two judges, but that mother Qiu had already passed with a full vote?

Everyone was waiting for Qiu Yun's answer. Seeing that she seemed to be hesitating, Qiu Niang admired the plate of pine mushrooms. ”Judge Qiu Yun, please come to a conclusion!”

As long as his aunt came down here, Su Jinsi would lose for sure!

The county magistrate also stood up and walked over to the pine mushrooms. He lightly sniffed and said, ”Mm, it smells really good. Su Jin Se, I've long since heard that the carbon baked pine mushrooms you made taste pretty good, but I've never tasted them before.”

”Milord, this humble girl is willing to prepare this dish for you at any time.”

”Chef Qiu, what's wrong? Is it difficult to make a decision for this dish?”

The county magistrate turned his head to look at Qiu Yun, who remained silent. Qiu Yun was having a hard time managing this. Seeing everyone looking at her, her vote was crucial.

As long as she said that this dish was not up to standard, the outcome of the battle would be decided. Her niece was still number one.

”Hurry up, hurry up!”

The people below the stage had already begun to urge her. Qiu Yun looked at the expectant Qiu Niang, then at the pine cones before standing up. ”Everyone, my choice is …”

She clenched her fists as her expression became calm, but her heart was filled with anxiety. Qiu Yun was the aunt of the mother, if she had favouritism, then the victor today would be decided. Then, would she and Su Yu be caught in that trap and died with grievances?

Everyone looked at Qiu Yun, waiting for her final decision.

”I, Qiu Yun …”
