Twice-cooked pork…

Hearing this unfamiliar dish name, the tens of thousands of people in the arena did not decrease their anticipation for Qin Lang's dish in the slightest.

Because every dish that Qin Lang has presented in the past has had names that were completely unfamiliar to everyone.

Their gazes all simultaneously turned towards the close-up shots on the big screen.

In those close-up shots, thin slices of layered pork belly were emitting steaming heat.

The fatty part of the pork, after stir-frying, clearly shrank and reflected a tempting, and not in the slightest bit greasy, light from its light brown colour under the light.

The lean meat part was of a deeper colour, and the lines of the meat were depicted under the high-definition camera, making the audience have the impulse to immediately send it into their mouths.

The long and thin pork skin subtly bounced as it was picked up by chopsticks, the visibly elastic and glutinous texture made countless people involuntarily swallow their saliva.

The green garlic and Capsicum frutescens adorning the pork belly, the bright red and lush green colours forming the most visually striking colour combination.

All of these gave people an intuitive feeling.

This dish must be delicious.

Just by looking at the dish, the audience was already so excited, not to mention the Food Recommenders who were smelling the strong scent and couldn't help but deeply inhale it at this moment.

The rich meaty scent, the strong smell of green garlic after it's cooked, and the rich spicy fragrance of the Capsicum frutescens after stir-frying.

Three rich scents, blended together by some indescribable, mysterious scent, continuously tantalised the Food Recommenders' keen sense of smell.

Seeing this dish named Twice-Cooked Pork and smelling its dominant richness, the Food Recommenders simultaneously surged with strong appetites.

In silence, they all picked up their chopsticks from the side.

The tasting section started.

Contestant Lei Ke stared dreamily at the Twice-Cooked Pork on the screen.

Compared to his Citrus Embrace, this dish seemed to be overly simple.

Did Qin Lang spend over two hours on such a dish?

Did he present such a dish in a competition for the championship?

Was this dish more than meets the eye? Or did Qin Lang have other intentions?

Lei Ke didn't know.

He only knew that he had an irresistible desire to taste this dish named Twice-Cooked Pork.

Couldn't the tasting section hurry up?

It's as if they heard Lei Ke's heartfelt wish, the speed of the eleven Food Recommenders tasting the Twice-Cooked Pork suddenly increased after they carefully tasted the first piece.

No, you couldn't even call that tasting anymore.

They picked up the rice that Qin Lang had paired with the Twice-Cooked Pork, a mouthful of rice with a piece of Twice-Cooked Pork, at a lightning-fast speed, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the arena and countless people outside, they rapidly devoured the Twice-Cooked Pork.

This, was scarfing down food!

At this moment, they no longer seemed like the Food Recommenders who decided the fate of the contestants while sitting at the judges' seats, but ordinary people having dinner at home after being hungry.

Only after finishing all the Twice-Cooked Pork and the rice did they regain their usual composure and calmness.

Lei Ke's mouth, which was open, hadn't closed since the moment the Food Recommenders began scarfing down the food.

This…

He couldn't help but recall the posture of the eleven Food Recommenders when they were slowly tasting and appreciating his Citrus Embrace dish.

For a moment, he doubted that these eleven Food Recommenders had switched souls while tasting the Twice-Cooked Pork.

Well done, Qin Lang!

He solemnly looked at the very calm young man next to him, who seemed to have anticipated this scene early on.

He really was someone not to be underestimated!

“The tasting section for Contestant Qin Lang ends!” Although the host was also surprised by the Food Recommenders' performances, he quickly regained his senses right now, “Both contestants' dishes have already been tasted by the eleven Food Recommenders.”

“Now then, we enter the evaluation and voting section for this competition!”

“I have a question for contestant Qin Lang!” Almost the moment after the host had finished speaking, a Food Recommender from the judges' seats couldn't wait to speak.

“This question might seem a little offensive, but 1 can't help myself.”

“If it's inconvenient for you, you can choose not to answer.”

He paused slightly, then said seriously, “In your dish of Twice-Cooked Pork, 1 tasted a seasoning that I've never tasted before.”

“The unique taste of that seasoning enchanted me, and it complemented the rich but not greasy, lean but not dry pork belly, greatly enhancing the deliciousness of this dish.”

“Can you tell me what that seasoning is?”

This Food Recommender looked at Qin Lang with intense curiosity in his eyes.

The arena quieted down a bit at this moment.

In the context of the Food Spirit World, such questioning was somewhat impolite.

But considering the identity of this Food Recommender, everyone could understand.

He was the granter of the Secret Badge, Chen Ang, the well-known master of sauces in Dongxia City, who loved to study various seasonings.

For him, coming across a new seasoning was like finding a treasure.

At this moment, everyone was curious as to how Qin Lang would respond.

Would he refuse to answer, or disclose some unknown secret of the Twice-Cooked Pork?

If he refused, everyone would understand.

If he said something…

1 will be all ears!

“There's nothing inconvenient about it.” Qin Lang said with a slight smile.

Under the fiery gazes of everyone, he spoke slowly and reminiscently, “That is the Doubanjiang that my mother taught me when she was alive.”

“The Twice-Cooked Pork 1 made with it was my favorite food when 1 was a child.”

“Therefore, after drawing the theme 'Home', the first thing I thought of was Twice-Cooked Pork.”

The parents of Qin Lang's original body also died, and they had not associated with other relatives for a long time.

So, Qin Lang's words wouldn't cause any impact.

“Doubanjiang, huh…” Chen Ang nodded thoughtfully.

Of course, he would not go so far as to inquire about the specific recipe for Doubanjiang.

With his curiosity satisfied, he gave his vote without hesitation.

“I vote for Qin Lang.”

“Contestant Lei Ke's Citrus Embrace showcased extraordinary skills and exquisite control of the ingredients.”

“I have had the privilege of visiting Danju City and tasted the Citrus Embrace cooked by an outstanding chef, 1 think the Citrus Embrace you made today is better than his.”

“But the surprise and emotion it brought, doesn't compare to Qin Lang's Twice-Cooked Pork.”

“Using that sauce called Doubanjiang to bring out the more wonderful taste of pork belly, infusing a simple dish with soul—it's the work of simplicity and elegance. This aligns with my philosophy of delicious food.”

Upon hearing Chen Ang's evaluation and vote, Qin Lang and Lei Ke both bowed slightly towards Chen Ang to show respect.

As they straightened up, although Lei Ke was a little frustrated because the first vote belonged to Qin Lang, he wasn't too nervous.

Through their dialogue, he roughly understood.

The strength of Qin Lang's Twice-Cooked Pork was in using a special sauce called Doubanjiang.

Winning over Chen Ang, who was obsessed with sauces, with that sauce was within reason.

However, the other Food Recommenders have different evaluation standards.

The real show was yet to come.
