Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 630: Have You Seen Ye Fei?

So even if you take a bite like this, eating it with the "salmon," you won’t find it spicy or pungent.

This freshly ground wasabi should never be mixed into soy sauce.

Doing so would greatly diminish the aroma of the wasabi.

Lowell took a bite, chewed a few times, then suddenly stopped.

Lowell’s eyes widened in shock: "Oh my god! The taste changed completely after dipping in soy sauce and wasabi."

"I feel like I’m eating sashimi. The combination of soy milk, gelatin, and cream surprisingly mimics the texture of the white fat in salmon!"

"Incredible," Lowell exclaimed repeatedly, "the difference from not using the sauce is immense, like eating two completely different dishes."

Guo Wenbo closed his eyes to savor, "It should be because of the impact of the soy sauce and wasabi flavors."

Ye Fei nodded, "Additionally, it can awaken the diner’s memories."

"Japanese cuisine is familiar to everyone, and they even eat it often. Unless they don’t like sashimi to begin with, anyone who loves it has made dipping in soy sauce and wasabi a habit. These two flavors have become a very significant memory trigger."

"As a result, just tasting these two flavors can induce a psychological suggestion, automatically recalling memories of eating sashimi, including the taste and texture. Under the psychological suggestion of memory, it naturally feels more and more similar."

Ye Fei said embarrassedly, "But this is only limited to a few bites. If you eat too much, you’ll still taste the difference."

However, achieving this level is already not easy.

Suddenly, the judges were in a dilemma.

The dishes of Ye Fei and Tian Pengpo were both excellent, and this time the two took different routes.

One imitated the pork from the land, the other the fresh seafood from the sea.

But both chose to use strong-flavored condiments like soy sauce to mask the original taste of the ingredients.

Tian Pengpo’s flavor was rich and intense, while Ye Fei’s was light and fresh.

Each had its own characteristics.

If it weren’t for the time constraints of the broadcast, the five judges wouldn’t know how long they would be discussing.

Finally, the five judges finished their discussion and stood together at the front of the stage again.

"In this competition, the five of us discussed for a long time but were unable to decide the final winner," said Guo Wenbo.

"So in the end, we decided that both Tian Pengpo and Ye Fei are first in this competition," said Guo Wenbo.

Tian Pengpo pouted, not very satisfied.

Either being first meant he was strong.

Or being second meant he was less skilled than others.

He wasn’t interested in sharing the first place.

"This competition is not scored, not ranked, only vying for first, and selecting the last place," Guo Wenbo said.

"At this point in the competition, those who remain are not weak. It’s just that the opponents were stronger."

"You all performed very well, being eliminated was not due to mistakes," Guo Wenbo said.

"So those who were eliminated, don’t lose heart. Anyone who has reached this position is very outstanding."

"So, let me announce the eliminated contestant of this competition," Guo Wenbo paused for a few seconds.

The audience tensed up along with him.

Guo Wenbo glanced over all the contestants before saying: "Zeng Jieyun."

Zeng Jieyun exhaled, not surprised at all by the result.

Because she was already mentally prepared, Zeng Jieyun could take it calmly.

After seeing the dishes of other contestants, she also knew that her dish really lacked competitiveness.

It was neither innovative nor flavorful.

Finally, there were only 13 contestants left in this competition.

Ye City.

Ye Ning, even when the matters of the restaurant were not resolved, did not forget to pay attention to Ye Fei’s competition situation.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fei won this competition again.

And still tied for first place with Tian Pengpo.

What kind of dumb luck does Ye Fei have!

Ye Ning never believed that Ye Fei’s culinary skills could be good enough to be first every time.

Seeing Ye Fei, Ye Ning thought of Ye Fei’s son.

She wondered if Mrs. Liu managed to meet Ye Fei, if at all.

Whether Mrs. Liu had met Ye Fei’s son.

If she had, what was Mrs. Liu’s opinion of Ye Fei’s son?

Ye Ning had a stomach full of questions to ask Mrs. Liu.

Plus, with Ye Fei advancing and getting such a good result.

Ye Ning just couldn’t get over it in her mind.

Because of this, all night, Ye Ning couldn’t sleep well.

She almost didn’t sleep the entire night.

Finally, on the second day, Ye Ning went to find Mrs. Liu immediately.

Mrs. Liu, upon receiving Ye Ning’s invitation, originally was thinking of meeting Ye Ning too.

Now that Ye Ning came herself, it was just as well.

Mrs. Liu remembered well what Ye Ning had dared to scheme.

Mrs. Liu and Ye Ning made an appointment at a private room in a restaurant.

The private room was just the two of them, convenient for talking, and not afraid of being overheard.

But it was not booked at Ye Ning’s restaurant.

Originally, Ye Ning intended to go directly to her restaurant.

In her own territory, everything would be more convenient.

Besides, there’s always spending in a restaurant, right?

If Mrs. Liu spent money, even better, it would contribute to her restaurant’s revenue.

If Mrs. Liu pretended to be ignorant and didn’t want to pay.

Then, anyway, it’s her restaurant, money going out and coming in are the same.

Ye Ning planned well, but unfortunately, Mrs. Liu refused the suggestion to go to her restaurant and chose another unrelated restaurant instead.

Mrs. Liu’s idea was simple and direct.

She didn’t want to discuss matters on Ye Ning’s turf.

This would make Mrs. Liu feel very passive.

In case something went wrong on Ye Ning’s ground, it couldn’t be explained clearly.

In the end, Ye Ning had to compromise.

After all, Ye Ning was the one seeking Mrs. Liu’s favor now.

The two randomly chose a restaurant that seemed okay and got a private room.

Ye Ning was quite polite, ordered dishes first, and poured tea for Mrs. Liu.

Only then did she ask Mrs. Liu: "Mrs. Liu, did you go to City B?"

Mrs. Liu raised an eyebrow: "Are you urging me?"

"No, just asking," Ye Ning immediately said, "After all, this is about my sister, and I can’t help but be concerned."

"You seem to care more than your sister does," Mrs. Liu said mockingly, curling her lip.

"I am her sister after all," Ye Ning sighed, "I wish her well."

Ye Ning looked dim: "Even though she might not appreciate it."

Mrs. Liu curled her lip, thinking that even if she hadn’t known about Ye Ning’s schemes beforehand, she wouldn’t be fooled by Ye Ning’s pretense.

Mrs. Liu leisurely took a sip of tea, saying, "I did go to City B and just returned."

Ye Ning unconsciously leaned forward, asking: "Did you meet Ye Fei?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "I did."

"I also met her son," Mrs. Liu added.
