"Yes, our Datong River's red cases will be two medicinal cuisines,"

Seeing Shen Qiang's definite answer.

The live video stream on the website was instantly taken over by a barrage of comments.

"Wow, Qiang has finally made his move, I still remember when he and Yaoyao Sister were doing the food livestream together, many people said his medicinal cuisine was only for the eyes, not for the palate, haha, now the dude has made it to the final round of the Huaxia Cuisine Awards!"

"Medicinal cuisine, Qiang's signature high-tech specialty!"

"Wakaka, I love watching Qiang's medicinal cuisine the most!"

"Wowwowwow, hurry up, it's really Qiang, he's gonna take the championship!"

"Hahaha, every dish of Qiang's medicinal cuisine is highly anticipated."

"I've got my rice ready, just waiting for the drop of medicinal cuisine."

"Hehehe, my last two dollars, just bought a steamed bun, can't eat it without watching the show."

"Same brand of steamed buns."

"Move aside, the soil-eating youth is waiting for medicinal cuisine to the rescue!"

The webcast was riotously filled with comments.

And at that moment, inside the arena, the atmosphere was fraught with tension.

Watching Baihua Lou being interviewed, Lv Shuyao's father was particularly nervous.

He stood next to Shen Qiang and spoke in a low voice, "Yukqing Hall's Antarctic Claw Shrimp and Black Gold Abalone, and Baihua Lou's Yangtze River's double delicacies, their main focus is on freshness, seafood, river delicacies, all of which are top-notch ingredients that naturally stand at the peak of gastronomy, I'm afraid medicinal cuisine won't be able to compete."

"Because medicinal cuisine is better at nourishment, and many Chinese medicinal ingredients have strong flavors of their own, these flavors can cause the ingredients to lose their natural taste, which means they're bound to be no match for their seafood and river delicacies in terms of freshness,"

Hearing what Lv Shuyao's father said, Shen Qiang, who was carefully sorting the herbs, smiled, "I'll take care of the two red cases. For the cold dish and pastry, you and Adrian do one each, don't feel pressured, we are already on the final battleground."

"What we need to do is to create the ultimate delicacy in our hearts, to achieve perfection, to do our best, that's all."

After a moment of silence, Lv Shuyao's father said, "I understand."

Then, many teammates began to bustle about in earnest.

Once it quieted down around him,

Shen Qiang's mind was incredibly lucid.

At this moment, for Shen Qiang, the arena in his eyes was no longer a culinary competition field but a realm of medical exploration.

Food is for people to eat.

More precisely, the food in this competition was meant for the five people sitting at the judges' table.

Because what's considered the peak of perfection, in Shen Qiang's view, is what suits them best, that's what's truly the best.

Observing the four old men and a Beautiful Demon Fox at the judges' table closely, Shen Qiang's lips curled into a smile. As a disciple of the Medical Saint, when Shen Qiang got serious and planned to conquer them with two medicinal cuisines, it was not difficult!

The competition was in full swing.

An hour passed quickly.

During this time, the three competing teams' leaders and the two red-case dishes were the focus of everyone's attention.

Red-case refers to the preparation of cooking ingredients such as side dishes, including stir-fries, cold dishes, and steamed dishes.

In competitions, it is usually the most outstanding chefs who complete these tasks.

Especially in Huaxia's cuisine, red-case scoring often accounts for the highest proportion.

This is because stir-frying, steaming, and cooking have always been the forte of Huaxia's cuisine.

Soon, the host announced loudly, "Time is up for the competition. Contestants, please stop your work and staff, turn off the stoves."

A moment later, it was acknowledged that all teams had ceased cooking and completed their dishes.

Naturally, the competition entered the stage of judges' tasting.

According to the points ranking, the first dish the judges tasted was undoubtedly Yuqing Hall's Antarctic Claw Shrimp.

The enthusiastic host introduced, "Antarctic Shrimp, known as Scampi in English, is also called Antarctic deep-sea claw shrimp, New Zealand lobster, New Zealand Norwegian sea jelly shrimp, and Antarctic deep-sea lobster. This shrimp is small and lobster-like, with long slender claws; its color is bright and refreshing, red-agate blended with mutton-fat white, crystal clear; the flesh is tender, elastic, and the taste is smooth and sweet."

"It primarily lives between Antarctica and New Zealand. Globally, it can only be caught in five deep-sea areas of New Zealand at depths of 150-650 meters—Auckland, Central, Southeast, Sub-Antarctic. These areas provide the Antarctic Shrimp with a natural, pure, pollution-free environment, which in turn contributes to its unique natural taste."

"So, after being prepared by Master Yuqing Hall, how does it taste? Let's hear what the judges have to say."

The camera shifted to the judges' seats.

"True to Yuqing Hall's dominance in the Huaxia culinary scene, the shrimp is fresh, tender, and bouncy. Not only is the texture rich, but the natural sweetness of the Antarctic Claw Shrimp is maximally preserved. I racked my brain to find a flaw, but it's clear I've failed. Therefore, I've decided to give Yuqing Hall's dish a perfect score without hesitation, 10 points!"

"The tender shrimp brings a breath of the deep sea, simply perfect. I'm very satisfied. However, I noticed that the shrimp in front of the other judges is bigger than mine, so I've decided to give them only 9 points!"

"Okay, nobody wants to hear me go on and on. Personally, I think Yuqing Hall's shrimp, whether in terms of cooking technique or presentation, looks absolutely perfect. However, I'm sorry to say, I've recently had a mouth ulcer, and eating this does not benefit me at all. Therefore, I can only give it 8 points because it is indeed excellent, but I can't eat it."

"I'm very thankful to Yuqing Hall for bringing such a delicacy, 10 points."

"Alright, what others had to say has been said. From my personal standpoint, this shrimp, in terms of both the method of preparation and taste, is faultless. The one-hour wait was utterly worth it, so I feel, I've decided to give them 10 points!" The stunningly beautiful Demon Fox smiled radiantly, clearly showing her love for the dish.

As soon as the scores were revealed, the host excitedly said, "As expected from our veteran strong team Yuqing Hall, the final score for their first dish is, 47 points! Congratulations to Yuqing Hall!"

Instantly, the online live broadcast audience exploded.

"Damn, aren't the judges being too whimsical?"

"Exactly, can they be a bit more professional? Deducting points because his shrimp is smaller than others'? Can't they make more sense?"

"When that judge said he had a mouth ulcer and couldn't eat much, so he could only give 8 points, a million 'facepalms' raced through my mind. Yuqing Hall's shrimp is so perfect; is it the chef's fault that you can't eat it?"

"Exactly, that judge must be a mole planted by one of the other teams!"
