Chapter 595 The competition ends
"Although the water chestnut cake is good, it is still far behind the other two dim sums. It deserves a B."
Wang Rong was not merciful.
The implication is that the other two dim sum dishes get first place.
But in fact, this water chestnut cake is not bad. In the first two games, it is still possible to get first place.
It depends on who you compare yourself with.
In the final, his taste was not as good as the osmanthus cake, and his novelty was not as good as the cheese glutinous rice cake, so he had to lose.
The Eighth Prince nodded in agreement.
Only Boss Wan has not expressed his opinion.
"Water chestnut cake, score C."
"Osmanthus cake, get B."
"Strawberry cheese mochi, gets...A."
Wansheng pondered.
When this evaluation came out, several tasters looked at each other in surprise.
After three rounds of competition, Wanshengke was awarded A for the first time.
"Oh, Boss Wan thinks so highly of Master Qian?"
The Eighth Prince was curious.
Wansheng smiled gently. "I should say I admire you. Master Qian has single-handedly created so many new dishes. This is a great contribution to a gourmet like me, and therefore he deserves the highest rank."
"Besides, this cool, milky snack can really help me get rid of some of my irritability in this hot weather."
The meaning is very clear. It is not that strawberry cheese mochi is better than osmanthus cake. We can only say that both have their own merits.
However, the weather has been getting hotter recently. Although it is not time to use an ice basin yet, the stuffiness in the air does affect my mood.
Frozen cheese is indeed slightly better at this time.
Plus, it's new and novel.
Wang Rong didn't know what to say, so he just frowned slightly.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yunting gained the upper hand again.
Both the Jin family and the Wang family have businesses in the Taiyuan Prefecture area.
There are several coal mines in Taiyuan Prefecture. Although the mining is supervised by the imperial court, the chief officer is a member of the Wang family.
The Wang family was able to take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money. This kind of poaching from the imperial court was an unspoken secret between the imperial court and the aristocratic families.
Generally speaking, the emperor would not investigate in detail because he did not want to offend the aristocratic families.
The aristocratic families are involved in too many things, and the emperor will not act easily unless he can wipe out the entire family at once.
But the many aristocratic families are of the same blood. If you attack one of them, the other families may think that the royal family is too domineering and unite to do something, which will not make the emperor feel good either.
The two sides are in a state of mutual checks and balances, and neither can go too far.
Some time ago, for some unknown reason, the Jin family discovered the secret dealings of the coal mine chief, and even got solid evidence, which they exposed directly.
A secret is something that will remain a secret no matter how tacitly it is known. Once it is revealed, the emperor will have to punish severely just to save his face.
As a result, the chief official was arrested, and many members of the Wang family who were involved were also arrested. In order to appease the emperor's anger, the Wang family even gave away a lot of good farmland.
The Wang family suffered a great loss, and the new official sent to take care of the coal mine was named Jin.
From now on, all profits will belong to the Jin family.
As a member of the eldest son, how could Wang Rong not bear a grudge against Jin Yunting? It was he who had hinted at Rongji Dim Sum, set up the Wu family, and set up the Dim Sum Competition.
I want to get back 10% from this.
But Mr. Jin is lucky, as he has many capable people under him.
On the stage, Wan Rufeng appeared in person and announced the results.
"The finals of the first Beijing Dim Sum Competition have concluded. Over the past three days, we have witnessed the strength of each dim sum chef and tasted a variety of delicious foods."
"The capital's number one pastry chef will soon be chosen..."
"Oh oh oh!"
Fang Tong took the lead in dancing and cheering excitedly.
The waiters from the cake shop followed behind him.
"Master Qian of Happy Cake, you will definitely win, definitely win, definitely win!"
"If you want to know which dim sum shop is the best, Happy Cake is number one!"
Uncle Rong couldn't hold back any longer and came out of the box.
He snorted coldly, and twenty people behind him shouted in unison.
"Rongji old brand, Xinglao osmanthus cake, delicious and you won't get lost!"
"Yongji Dim Sum Shop, the taste of childhood, you know!"
Lao Jixiang’s boss also came. Although he knew that his master might have a low chance of winning the championship, he still wanted to win the championship even if he lost.
At least we have made it to the finals. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the opportunity to become famous.
"Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu, young and promising, Ji Xiang Ji Xiang is delicious and inexpensive!"
“Come to Lao Jixiang, eat delicious and healthy food!”
Wan Rufeng deliberately let the audience get lively for a while before continuing.
"The third place in this dim sum competition goes to Lao Jixiang—Chef Hu!"
"Second place."
He paused deliberately.
Uncle Rong and Wu Dongjia were both very nervous.
"Yong Kee Dim Sum - Chef Xing!"
"The best pastry chef in Beijing, Chef Qian from Happy Cake Shop!"
"Ahhhh!" Fang Tongle jumped high on the spot.
Wu Dongjia pulled him and said, "Calm down, calm down, Brother Fang. You are an official appointed by the court after all. Pay attention to your image."
Just as he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing towards the sky.
"Ahahahaha, we win, we win!"
"Hahahaha, God bless me, Old Wu!"
"Hahahaha, I used to be born in a small county, inconspicuous, and looked down upon everywhere in the capital. Now I want to take back all the dignity I lost..."
Wu Dongjia laughed so hard that tears came out.
Fang Tong looked at him with contempt, and even started talking nonsense.
Uncle Rong's expression was gloomy. How could it be possible? He clearly had a backup plan...
Qian Fengping was stunned, feeling as if she was hallucinating, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
But Wan Rufeng invited him: "Now, please let Master Qian come and talk to us."
Qian Fengping calmed down and looked at Fang Tong who was laughing foolishly in the audience, and she calmed down instantly.
“It is my honor to be here and to exchange ideas with you colleagues.”
“I am very proud and happy to have achieved the first place.”
She made no secret of this.
"But at the same time, I don't think I can live up to the title of the best pastry chef in Beijing."
"Just like there's no such thing as the best in literature, I've always felt that traditional dim sum and new-style cakes each have their own merits. I also hope that there will be a flourishing of dim sum on the market. It's our responsibility as dim sum chefs to explore and discover more delicious varieties."
"Good!" Master Hu was the first to applaud.
When you are young and energetic, how can you not get your blood boiling when you hear such words?
Even Elder Xing stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Master Qian not only has a broad mind, but also a broad vision. I am truly convinced."
Qian Fengping smiled shyly.
Even the Eighth Prince, who had just come downstairs, couldn't help but praise her: "After all, she is an official's wife, her knowledge is different from that of ordinary women."
No, not everyone, even the wives of officials, has this kind of vision.
He shook his head and left quietly.
After the competition was over, Qian Fengping and his wife found Wan Rufeng again and handed him the replaced soybeans.
Wan Rufeng's face darkened for a moment, and he solemnly promised that he would get to the bottom of the matter and give them an explanation.
Wu Dongjia's face also darkened. Such a despicable method was aimed at the members of his cake shop.
Originally he thought it was better to resolve a feud than to create one, but this time he won first place, and if he gave up the idea of getting half the share, he would be considered to have made friends with Rong Ji and Liu Bao Zhai.
In the future, we will see each other every day in the capital, and it will be easier to get along with each other.
But now, he changed his mind.
