Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 555: Sis, I’ve Put Up with You Long Enough

Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Sis, I’ve Put Up with You Long Enough

"It’s just that when apples are heated and cooked, the sour flavor is brought out. Even sweet apples become sour. I wanted to try using this sourness to counteract the greasiness. Since there was no lemon, I used the sour flavor of the apple instead," Ye Fei explained.

"This flavor combination is really quite amazing, especially since the chicken is so tender and silky, it’s almost like a combination of egg tofu and fish tofu, yet the meat juices are abundant, with every bite bursting with flavor."

"The rosemary isn’t too overpowering and doesn’t overshadow the other spices, and the pepper’s spiciness is most noticeable in the innermost layer of the chicken," Luo Jialin commented with her lips glistening with oil. "This chicken is so tender and the texture is so good, you can’t help but eat a lot without noticing."

The chicken wasn’t very big, yet the five judges each ate several bites, and before they knew it, the whole chicken had been devoured by them.

When Guo Wenbo reached out for another piece, he found all that was left was the chicken carcass.

Guo Wenbo: "..."

"Hahaha, I guess we don’t even need to comment on Ye Fei’s dish; our actions speak louder than words," Lowell said with a laugh.

"You’re absolutely right," Guo Wenbo nodded.

The five judges had tasted through so many dishes, each taking a bite from each contestant, and altogether they had eaten quite a lot.

Yet Ye Fei’s dish still managed to leave them with the appetite to finish off the whole chicken.

This already says a lot.

So, the five of them moved on to Fu Jiaxu, the last contestant.

Fu Jiaxu, already dejected and having anticipated the result, had lost all his fighting spirit by then.

"I see you don’t seem to have much hope left?" Guo Wenbo observed Fu Jiaxu’s reaction, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Fu Jiaxu replied with a sullen face, "I didn’t find any spices along the way, so I only used salt for the roast. The flavor definitely lacks something."

"If you’ve mastered the heating, even the original flavors can make a remarkable dish," Ye Huasong commented, "Of course, this is premised on the chef not losing their original intent." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"While you were cooking, you already believed you were going to lose. Your attitude toward your dish turned negative. Under such circumstances, you couldn’t focus on your cooking. How could the result taste good?" Ye Huasong shook his head. "Fu Jiaxu, if you want to continue on the path of culinary arts, you still have a long way to go."

Ye Huasong said this as he cut off a piece of the lamb.

"There’s not much fat in the lamb, so the muttony smell isn’t strong, which actually works in your favor, especially since you lacked spices. The ingredient itself has helped you a lot."

We can say that the lamb leg did all it could.

"If Ye Fei had lent me some spices, my dish would surely have been better," Fu Jiaxu eventually couldn’t help but say.

Ye Huasong gave him a mild glance and then lowered his head to taste the lamb.

Everyone thought Ye Huasong wouldn’t respond to Fu Jiaxu.

But after a while, Ye Huasong said, "Is it really fair to blame others for not finding your ingredients? It’s pure luck and a testament to good personal relations if someone helps you, but if they don’t, it’s not their fault."

Fu Jiaxu’s face turned darker.

By this time, Ye Huasong had lost the appetite to try more of Fu Jiaxu’s lamb.

With Fu Jiaxu’s sullen expression, anyone would lose their appetite; who would feel like tasting his cooking?

As a judge, Ye Huasong had to take a taste.

"The lamb’s cooking isn’t even," Ye Huasong noted. "This part is overcooked, a bit dry, and already turning black."

"It’s probably because you felt in this competition you had nothing to look forward to, so you didn’t keep an eye on the lamb’s cooking," Ye Huasong said coldly.

"Your attitude isn’t what a competent chef should have," Ye Huasong shook his head in disappointment.

"Allowing your mood to affect your cooking, because you’re worried about the results, you stop making the effort. What you care about is only your scores, your gains and losses. Have you ever considered your diners?"

Without waiting for Fu Jiaxu’s response, Ye Huasong stepped aside to let others in.

After tasting Fu Jiaxu’s roasted lamb, Guo Wenbo and the others had no further comments to give.

The five gathered at the center and discussed for a moment.

Then Guo Wenbo said, "In this round, because no contestant abandoned their dish midway, we’re only eliminating one person this time. We won’t be scoring or ranking the remaining contestants."

"Although this was an artificial competition set by the organizers, there were still many conditions that limited your performance. In such circumstances, you all still managed to accomplish your cooking tasks excellently; each of you performed commendably," he commended.

"Now, I’ll announce the contestant being eliminated from this round," Guo Wenbo declared.

"In this round, the contestant being eliminated is Fu Jiaxu," Guo Wenbo announced loudly.

No one felt surprised by this result.

Neither did the audience nor Fu Jiaxu himself.

"Ye Fei, if you had lent me the ingredients, I would have had a chance," Fu Jiaxu still protested.

"You wouldn’t have had a chance even if you were given the ingredients," Zhou Junhao retorted. "Do you not have a clear understanding of your own level?"

"You advanced in the last competition round primarily by luck; there’s a big gap between us, so don’t attribute your failures to our skills," Tian Pengpo said disdainfully.

Fu Jiaxu: "..."

That Tian Pengpo, how can he speak so annoyingly!

Does this person have no emotional intelligence at all!

"Please, everyone, contestants and staff, exit from the designated area and take a good rest," An Haiyin said quickly.

We can’t let them argue here.

These people from Changping Academy, they don’t have any awareness of being on a live broadcast.

To them, it’s as if the cameras don’t exist!

Ye Fei and the others followed the staff and got backstage through the exit.

The audience in the stands slowly began to leave afterward.

Xu Huizhen clicked her tongue and said, "There were no rankings in this competition; Ye Fei got pretty lucky."

"With fewer people remaining and the Changping folks in the mix, she definitely won’t get a high ranking," Xu Huizhen commented.

"You know, big sis, I’ve tolerated you for a long time," a girl suddenly spoke, standing next to her boyfriend.

"I’ve been sitting next to you today, listening to you badmouth Ye Fei this entire time," the girl said. "Through this whole competition, you’ve been yapping non-stop without a good word to say. What grudge do you have against Ye Fei?"

"Oh, so when someone is smart, you have a problem with them. When someone is good at cooking, you also have a problem with them."
