Zhou Xue’er stood up abruptly from the audience seats and stared fixedly at He Jing’s actions. He Jing had actually chosen the skinniest chicken.
She thought, “What the hell! That chicken was obviously malnourished!”
If He Jing hadn’t promised to work for Zhou’s Restaurant after losing the competition and work until she died, she would have really thought that He Jing was deliberately messing with her!
She just didn’t want the Zhou family to compete. She just didn’t want her to continue being a rich lady.
But…
She had signed a contract!
She even took the money!
Zhou Xue’er wanted to curse, but she couldn’t. Her face turned green and white.
Suddenly, a magnetic and low voice, as melodious as a cello, sounded from behind her, “Zhou Xue’er, sit down.”
Zhou Xue’er turned around and met Yan Hanxi’s cold eyes. Her body trembled and goosebumps suddenly appeared on her arm.
She dared not block Yan Hanxi’s line of sight and quickly sat down.
Head Chef Wang and He Jing had already started cooking.
Head Chef Wang was indeed an experienced chef. In an instant, he thought of the cooking method which was braised in soy sauce.
The braised young chicken was a famous home-cooked dish. The tender and juicy chicken meat coupled with the fragrant and sweet chestnut could maximize the characteristics of the ingredients.
However, taste alone wasn’t enough. All the chefs understood that if they wanted to conquer the taste buds of the extremely picky judges, they had to bring out the unique and extraordinary delicacy in the world. Even if he cooked the braised young chicken to perfection, he wouldn’t be able to get high marks without freshness. Therefore, he decisively chose a few special ingredients and threw them into the preparation.
These special ingredients were inspired by a dish of boiled prawns a few days ago. Even though prawns were seafood and the chicken was poultry, the cooking method was completely different.
However, he already had enough ability to perfectly fuse the two ingredients. The braised young chicken wasn’t cooked yet, but it had already emitted a burst of strong fragrance…
In an instant, the entire competition venue and even the audience seats were filled with an indescribable wonderful smell.
Although not hungry, stomachs kept growling incessantly as if the gluttonous worm had been awakened.
The judges sitting in their seats couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
The chefs from Prosperous Restaurant screamed excitedly. “Oh, oh, oh! We’re going to win this time!”
On the other hand, He Jing didn’t make any movements. She just cut the young chicken into pieces, then coated the young chicken pieces with bread crumbs and fried them in the pot.
The hot oil gurgled and bubbled, and the young chicken pieces changed color immediately, but she didn’t pick them up.
The meat of the young chicken was very tender. If it was fried for too long, the meat would turn dry and lose a lot of nutrients. Even if the young chicken pieces were coated, she shouldn’t fry it for that long.
Zhou Xue’er endured it to the extreme and was about to stand up again when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.
Her head, which was swollen from anger, quickly calmed down as the person behind him emitted a cold aura.
She clenched the corner of her clothes tightly and shouted in her heart over and over again, “Come on, He Jing. Show some skills. Where did your usual skills go?”
Perhaps God had heard her plea, but He Jing finally scooped up the chicken pieces from the oil pan and dabbed them with a layer of unknown liquid. Before Zhou Xue’er could think that this was He Jing’s ultimate weapon and use it to defeat her enemy, He Jing threw the chicken pieces into the oil pan again.
Zhou Xue’er’s vision went black and she slumped into her seat. Her eyes were unfocused and she was in complete despair.
Why did she have to torture her like this?
Can’t she quit being a wealthy heiress? Please just be a normal person!
