Rude Boss’s Exclusive Love - C64

“Although the idea is worth affirming, the cutting technique of this dish is still a little immature. It is still far from being a masterpiece by a master. I’ll give seven points. ”

Xia Xiaomin nodded in thanks, but the judge directly mentioned that Lu Ni’s skills were insufficient to help. She was also using the Fiery Eyes of Truth, so there was no way for her to explain herself.

Feeling Lu Ni’s apologetic gaze, Xia Xiaomin returned a comforting smile.

They were indeed inferior, and it was Lu Ni’s first time participating in the Great Games. Even if her words were incomplete due to her nervousness, it was still within reason. Xia Xiaomin was convinced.

However, Lu Ni lowered her eyes to cover up her gloating expression. Although her knife skills were not as good as a chef’s, they were not that far off the mark.

She couldn’t bear to see Xia Xiaomin stand out like that, but she couldn’t use her own efforts to pave the way for her!

Two judges were deducted a total of four points, leaving only three judges behind. If another four points were deducted, Xia Xiaomin would only be able to tie with her brother who had 42 points.

Xia Xiaomin saw his calm, watery eyes as she looked at Zhong Luozhuang with some uneasiness.

How could this man not know that she was fighting for the honor of his hotel, for the eyes of his servants? How could she be so calm!

Looking at the angry and anxious Xia Xiaomin, Zhong Luozheng’s eyes finally lit up with a different glow. He opened his mouth slightly and used his lips to pass two words to her, “Relax.”

How could Xia Xiaomin relax? Her palms were already covered in sweat.

The third judge took a sip and reflected on it carefully before slowly saying, “Yes, the taste is perfect and the lips and teeth are fragrant. It can be said to be a classic. I’ll give you nine points. ”

Xia Xiaomin happily held Lu Ni’s hand. This was great! If they received another 2 to 9 points, they would be able to get first place temporarily.

The fourth judge gave a clean and accurate score, “Qingcheng time, makes me feel like my first love. Unfortunately, the people I like don’t like me. This is a memory that isn’t good enough, nor is it beautiful enough. “Hur hur, I’ll give you eight points.”

The support team at the Howell Hotel could not help but take a deep breath. It can’t be.

It had already been deducted 7 points. Qingcheng Time now had a total of 33 points. If the next judge didn’t give Xia Xiaomin 10 points, she wouldn’t be able to win against the previous leader.

Xia Xiaomin quietly waited for the final judge to give her score.

The fifth judge frowned and asked Xia Xiaomin, “I have tasted Master Xu Shangwu’s beautiful time. He was not only the inventor of this dish, but he was also the best person to make this dish. However, have you put more vinegar than him in your seasonings in your beautiful time? ”

Lu Ni was secretly pleased with herself. Xia Xiaomin, you’re finished. I’ll see what you can do this time.

Xia Xiaomin answered and peeked at Zhong Luozhuang. Only after seeing the other party nod his head slightly did Zhang Xuan relax.

The amount of vinegar in her body was something Zhong Luozhan had secretly taught her that night. However, she had never asked Zhong Luochen to verify whether it was 5% or how much. She also didn’t know that Zhong Luochen modified the formula of Xu Shangwu just like that.

“In the past, only when regrets have passed has one become so beautiful. “Alright.” Judge # 5 bared his teeth in praise, “This 5% vinegar is really the best. The so-called Qingcheng understanding was like a whip flying in and out. I’ll give you ten! ”

The smile on Xia Xiaomin’s small face said, “Great, she got 43 points!”

“Congratulations to Chef Xia Xiaomin of the Howell Hotel. She has obtained the highest score so far, 43 points! Next came the dishes of the last group of contestants. “This is the Hibiscus Spring Snow made by the chef of the Chen Family Hotel, Li Guutian.”

Hibiscus Spring Snow?

Xia Xiaomin’s heart skipped a beat. This was only a single word away from her master’s essay, “Hibiscus of Spring”!

Xia Xiaomin turned to ask Lu Ni, who feigned surprise as she shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know what was going on.

The puzzled and nervous Xia Xiaomin could only look at Zhong Luozheng and find him sitting there expressionlessly, looking like an ice cube.

Xia Xiaomin had no choice but to shift her gaze to the match. However, she didn’t realize that Zhong Luozheng’s gaze had followed her as soon as she shifted her gaze to her body.

Seeing the slight change in her complexion, Zhong Luozhang was puzzled, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. He only stared at the judges’ expressions as if he wanted to try something.

Xia Xiaomin’s face turned paler and paler as she listened to Li Gui Tian explain to the judges about the creativity and ingredients of the dishes.

Manager Su couldn’t help but frown, “Aiya, Xiao Min is going to meet her opponent this time!” That Li Guutian was really good at cooking. In the past, when he was a martial artist, he had always won by a slight margin. This time, Xiao Min met with him, it was really a disadvantage! ”

Xia Xiaomin was indeed frightened, but it wasn’t because of Li Guutian’s strength, but because his cooking had been modified according to his master’s recipe.

Could the recipe be in Chen Hao’s hands? How is that possible?

Xia Xiaomin looked at Zhong Luozheng, but he didn’t change his expression. However, for some reason, Xia Xiaomin knew that Zhong Luozheng was angry.

The judges revealed their scores one by one. Nine points, eight points, nine points, nine points, nine points.

A total of 44 points!

Xia Xiaomin hung her head in defeat.

If she lost, not only would she make Hall lose face, but she might also make Hall’s competitors stronger because of her loss of the menu!

The host excitedly announced, “The champion of the 17th Northern Cuisine Competition is — the Chen Family Hotel’s Chef Li Guutian!”

A thunderous applause rang out from the scene. This joy infected every employee in the Chen Family Hotel.

The Chen staff flocked to Lee’s side. This was the first time they had won such an honor, and it also ended Harl’s sixteen years of exclusive championship.

Chen Hao’s face was also covered in a smile, and he invited everyone to treat them well tonight.

Lu Ni immediately separated her gaze from his, but when she caught the praise in Chen Hao’s eyes, she could not help but be overjoyed.

Xia Xiaomin, you’ve really lost!

The organizers had given Xia Xiaomin the runner-up trophy. Although it was a great honor for a young chef like her, Xia Xiaomin was not happy at all.

When the group was taken together, she sneaked a glance at Zhong Luochen, thinking that even if he was scolding her, it would be fine.

Zhong Luozheng stood by Xia Xiaomin’s side as if it was a matter of course. Looking at her bitter expression, he asked in a low voice, “Xia Xiaomin, is this the expression you used to receive your first trophy?”

He didn’t even look at her when he spoke. His voice was calm and steady, no different from the usual sarcasm. However, Xia Xiaomin felt that he was holding back his anger.

He forced out a smile. When Xia Xiaomin took the photo, she wasn’t looking at the camera, but at Chen Hao, who was about to leave.

As soon as the photos were taken, Xia Xiaomin stuffed the trophy into Manager Su’s arms without a second thought and ran over to stop Chen Hao as he was about to leave.

“Brother Hao.”

Seeing that it was Xia Xiaomin, Chen Hao knew that she must have recognized the dish and calmly said, “Xiaomin, your performance just now was really good.”

Although Xia Xiaomin’s mind wasn’t on this, she still smiled and said, “Thank you, Brother Hao. Master Li is the best. To be able to make Hibiscus Spring Snow, it’s the same as my master’s Hibiscus Spring Snow.”

How could Chen Hao not understand the hidden meaning behind Xia Xiaomin’s words? He apologized to Xia Xiaomin in his heart, and said, “What about it? Didn’t Xiao Min know that our hotel’s Li Guutian and your master are disciples of the same teacher? So, you should call him Martial Uncle. ”

Xia Xiaomin was surprised. So Li Guutian can make “Hibiscus Spring Snow”? But why did she feel things were not so simple?

Just when he was about to ask something else, he saw Zhong Luozheng and Manager Su walk out from the other side.

Seeing Zhong Luozhuang give her a cold look, Xia Xiaomin was worried that he might have misunderstood. She wanted to go over and explain, but he looked away, obviously unwilling to ignore her.

His heart began to ache inexplicably. Chen Hao’s answer didn’t seem that important to Xia Xiaomin anymore. Thus, when Chen Hao said he still had something he wanted to leave first, Xia Xiaomin didn’t stop him.

When she looked over there, Zhong Luozheng was no longer there. Xia Xiaomin’s heart suddenly felt empty.

Zhong Luozhan, are you angry because I lost the match or is it because the first person I’m looking for is Chen Hao?!

Xia Xiaomin, what are you thinking? Zhong Luozhuang, of course, is because you lost the match.

You lost a game that was very important to him.

He walked out of the venue and got into Manager Su’s car.

The boss, who had been indifferent about the outcome, suddenly showed a stern expression. Manager Su couldn’t help but complain to Xia Xiaomin. This girl was looking for something like Chen Hao without a hitch?

Having angered the boss, he still wanted her to take care of the aftermath. Truly … Sigh, his life was miserable.

“Manager Su, how should we deal with the media interviews in the future?” Zhong Luozhan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Manager Su thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: “Since Xu Shangwu failed to enter the stage to confuse the audience, did he draw attention to the disparity in strength?”

“Right.” Zhong Luozhan replied indifferently. He didn’t want to say anything, so he closed his eyes to rest his mind. However, Xia Xiaomin’s eagerness to share her feelings with Chen Hao still surfaced in his mind.

This woman was born to anger him to death!

“Master.” Xia Xiaomin walked over to Xu Shangwu’s side, full of guilt.

Xu Shangwu ruffled Xia Xiaomin’s hair and smiled. “Don’t think so much.”

“Master, is that Li Guutian really from the same sect as you?” Xia Xiaomin thought about what Chen Hao had said and still had some doubts.

Xu Shangwu pondered for a moment before saying, “That Li Guutian was indeed my junior brother.”

Hearing her master’s words, Xia Xiaomin raised her head and asked, “Once?”

“Yes, years ago, I entered the sect before him, and he only came after me. A few years later, Master saw that he had ill intentions and expelled him from the sect, so I never mentioned this person to you.”

Xia Xiaomin nodded in understanding. It wasn’t strange that Li Guutian could produce a “Hibiscus Spring Snow”, she thought to herself. She had overthought things.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shangwu continued to talk to himself, “However, this Hibiscus Springtime was created by me after Li Guutian left and even Master didn’t know about it. How did he know? Did he really come up with this himself? “Isn’t that too much of a coincidence …”
