Chapter 117: Plot Twist

[I’m also a little worried for the villagers because I feel that her culinary skills are even worse than Lu Jinsen’s.]

[Guys gave Miss Qi some face. At least she participated. Don’t look down on her sincerity just because she can’t differentiate the seasonings.]

Qi Yan was not confident about the braised pork she made. She did not even taste it before she served it on the table.

She watched as the villager picked up a small piece of pork belly that was fat and thin and put it into his mouth without hesitation. He chewed slowly and frowned slightly, his expression vaguely revealing subtle emotion.

Ting Jiu still had some form of team awareness, he knew that it was Qi Yan’s braised pork, so he inevitably became nervous.

After a while, the villager commented, “It’s been stewed for too long. The meat is soft and too salty.”

At this point, the villager had already put down his chopsticks. Then, he picked up his cup and took a sip of water before saying, “Did you not put sugar in it?”

This was because he had not tasted the sweetness of the braised pork the entire time. There was only a salty and bitter taste. It was probably because they had added too much sauce and salt and let the meat marinate in it for too long.

Qi Yan could no longer remember if she had added sugar. At that time, she was the one doing it, and no one was around to remind her.

She thought that it was already good enough that she did not panic.

After listening to the people in front evaluate the plate of braised pork that was not sugared, the others ignored it and did not try the dish again.

The Liao sisters’ stir-fried pork belly and diced meat stir-fried with green melons were rather standard. The villagers did not give many evaluations, but they basically gave compliments. Finally, they ate Meng Chuyuan’s handmade meatballs.

[I have to say I’m really dumbfounded. Hahahahaha, did she turn sugar into salt? I have evidence. That’s what she did in the previous episode.]

[This is the first time I’ve seen a chef serve food directly without testing the taste first.]

[Think about it from another perspective. She’s so carefree and doesn’t care about anything. She does things her own way. Would you want to eat her food when it’s ready?]

[Sister in front, I guess you’re possessed. She has a low EQ.]

[It doesn’t take a genius to know that Sister Meng won this round completely. It’s expected that her braised pork will be salty after seeing how much light soy sauce she added.]

[It’s finally my Sister Meng’s turn. Although I know the outcome, I’m still looking forward to it.]

When Meng Chuyuan was making the handmade meatballs, the ingredients were insufficient, so the meatballs were a little dry. However, after she cooked them, she specially mixed them in sauce to braise them. It was really delicious, and the taste was refreshing and suitable.

Just the taste of this braised meatball was enough to make people ignore the texture of the meatball.

After the villagers tasted it, they nodded in satisfaction. They felt that Meng Chuyuan’s braised pork balls were not only delicious, but she also knew how to use the taste to compensate for the lack of ingredients.

When they tasted Meng Chuyuan’s pork belly stewed potatoes, the dish also received unanimous praise.

Especially the villagers who had just eaten Qi Yan’s dish. They could not help but compare the two dishes. “The taste of this meat is quite good. It’s much better than the previous one. The fire seems to have been controlled very well.

This potato cube is also fragrant and soft.”

Qi Yan’s face turned green when she heard the villager’s evaluation.

[Brother, you know the art of relativity. Hahahaha, it’s too delicious. This evaluation pits people against each other, it must be infuriating to hear.]

[Villagers: This is the smell of braised food, right?]

[Guys, just by looking at it, I can already tell that it’s delicious and sumptuous.]

[Miss Qi Yan, are you convinced? It might be untrue if one person says that it’s not delicious, but it seems that other than that uncle who ate it, no one else ate it. It can’t be untrue, right? Hahaha.]

[Let’s take a screenshot first. This face, this expression, the image is vivid. Her face has even turned green.]

After tasting so many dishes, they served vegetable salads to the villagers’ to relieve their flavor fatigue.

Each group had made a plate of vegetable salad. There was nothing to evaluate. Everyone used the same ingredients. The only difference was the plating.

Among the ten villagers who were trying out the dishes, there was a young man who was slightly younger. After eating the salad made by Liao Jiayan, he said in satisfaction, “This cucumber was cut so carefully. I guess it was made by a girl. I’ll vote for this group first.”

In this voting segment, Meng Chuyuan’s group finally obtained six votes. The reason was basically for the meatball. They had put in a lot of effort, and it was not easy to mince the meat.

The Liao sisters received three votes from the other villagers.

Just as Qi Yan felt that there was no hope and that she might end up with zero votes—

The uncle who had eaten her braised pork just now actually voted for Qi Yan.

After the uncle made his choice, he even gave his reason. “I think this dish should be made by a newbie who doesn’t know how to cook. The taste of this braised pork is a little worse than the later dishes, but newbies also need encouragement. I hope that you will continue working hard.”

[This villager is too nice. Boohoo.]

[It’s useless, Biz Brother. Our Miss Qi’s brain is extraordinarv. She might think that you’re pitying her.]

[Every workplace should give the newbies a chance. Every veteran who is familiar was a newbie once, right? Only then can the country be prosperous and revitalized.]

[You have a point. When I saw this, I realized that my thoughts were too narrow and I have learned something.]

[Hehe, as expected, my Sister Meng has the upper hand. The lousy Eldest

Young Master won again. Haha.]

Qi Yan did not expect such an outcome.

When the uncle who was voting earlier praised Meng Chuyuan, she still looked quite unhappy.

Who knew that there would be such a plot twist?

Qi Yan was dumbfounded.

She could actually get a vote.

When the director was about to come out and announce the punishment segment, he even secretly gave Meng Chuyuan a look.

Meng Chuyuan:

The director clapped twice to get everyone’s attention on him. “Alright, next, it’s time for the defeated group to accept their punishment.”

[I’m very curious about how Sister Meng will punish her.]

[This is really hard on our Sister Meng. I really don’t know if winning this competition is a good thing or a bad thing.]

[Sister in front, you’ve told the truth. Boohoo.]

[Why did the director have to do this? Is he trying to make our Sister Meng hated?]

Qi Yan looked up and met Meng Chuyuan’s eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time. In these few seconds, neither of them could read the other’s mind.

Qi Yan looked calm on the surface, but she was extremely nervous in her heart. She felt that Meng Chuyuan would make some overboard request for her to complete.

Seeing that Meng Chuyuan did not speak for a long time, the director was extremely anxious. He was worried that Meng Chuyuan wouldn’t follow through with the original plan..
