Who gave this heretical practitioner permission to cook?

Chapter 178 Han Tianyan cooks "shit" on the spot, I can totally use this smell! (2K Second Update)
Let's leave aside Han Tianyan, who went back to the ingredient database to select ingredients.

At this moment, everyone on the judges' panel looked much better after drinking Xia Ming's herbal soup.

Just as Han Tianyan guessed, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, Xia Ming's soup is actually winter melon and sea salt water.

In terms of texture and flavor, it is not even as good as the free soup served at some fast food restaurants.

But unfortunately, that's exactly what the judges are lacking right now.

Without the need to rinse their mouths, they had been tormented by Han Tianyan, but Xia Ming's pre-soup gave them a chance to catch their breath.

Although after they finished drinking, they all understood what had happened.

But since Han Tianyan was able to exploit a bug in the "New Chef Competition" and pull out a theme like "French Banquet Cuisine".

Then it's understandable that Xia Ming used the bug created by Han Tianyan to create a conflict in the flavors of the dishes.

It's this battle of wits between the two sides that's causing trouble for the judges.
Mao Xianzheng is old, and high blood pressure and high blood sugar are inevitable. The sudden bite almost triggered a relapse of his illness.

Even Sui Wubai, in the prime of his life, couldn't withstand such treatment.

His five senses are generally stronger than others, which is why he is able to "find the source of the flavor".

But in this situation, the torment he suffers will be more severe than that of others.

After finishing the mouth-cleansing soup, Yin Shengjiang felt a sense of helplessness. The competition organizers had been trying their best to improve the rules, but they still managed to find a loophole.

On the surface, due to considerations for the live broadcast, he could only include the loopholes in the rules in the competition questions.

He said to the camera that the exam question was somewhat reasonable.
Actually, I had already made up my mind to ban this kind of operation when I got back, and also to check all the other rules.

"As for this bowl of refreshing soup, there's not much to say about it."

"The very mild winter melon flavor, combined with its excellent palatability, is absolutely enough to awaken the taste buds of diners."

As for whether his idea of ​​"awakening" is truly "awakening" or "resetting," everyone knows the answer.

But in any case, after a round of appetizer battles, the judges eventually got back on track.

Just as everyone nodded, Xia Ming turned back to prepare the next dish.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying odor wafted from the meeting room.

"???"

"The competition venue, Han Tianyan's stove."

Han Tianyan plugged his nose with a wet tissue, then set up a separate barbecue grill and a small pot.

On the grill plate, durian is emitting its unique aroma.

In the small pot, half of the canned herring was stewed, while the other half remained on the table.

Both emitted an extremely unpleasant odor that enveloped the entire arena.

In other words, they chose "French cuisine" as their theme, not giving other contestants a chance to perform.

Otherwise, if the smell affects the other contestants, they might just come up and start a fight with Han Tianyan.

But it doesn't matter, because Han Tianyan himself has already blown up the live stream!
[What the heck? Durian and canned herring? Is this a dish or a scent bomb?!]

[Even Lao Ba's secret-recipe mini burgers are here! I can't even imagine what they taste like in the arena right now.]

[This is insane! Does he know he can't win and is preparing to go all out against Xia Ming?]

[It feels like Han Tianyan has no one he cares about in the city anymore. I can't even imagine that tomorrow there will be a trending topic: "Contestant cooks feces in public at the championship competition."]

That's so real! (doge)

[The smell seems to waft through the comments, instantly ruining the flavor of my braised pork knuckle rice!]

Inside the players' lounge

Zheng Zeqian's face showed extreme disgust.

"Holy crap, don't tell me French cuisine uses 'canned herring'!"

"They've really thrown away their last shred of dignity just to fight Xia Ming."

Qian Youdao also fell silent.

He knew Xia Ming was difficult to deal with, and he also knew that Han Tianyan had probably been tricked as an appetizer.

But he never expected that Han Tianyan really wanted to win!
Because he had more contact with Xia Ming, he was able to observe the remarkable skill of Xia Ming's nose from subtle details. At this moment, he also understood what Han Tianyan was doing!

But understanding something doesn't mean you actually dare to use it. Qian Youdao felt he was already the kind of person with a strong fighting spirit, but compared to Han Tianyan, he still seemed a bit too concerned about saving face.

Bai Heng also fell silent. She knew Han Tianyan's strength all too well, although it was definitely nonsense to fight a "Hua 7 level".

However, Xia Ming was unable to unleash his full potential under this theme.

All things considered, the two are at most one and a half levels apart.

Under normal circumstances, Han Tianyan is not without a chance.

But being forced into this situation must be because Xia Ming has more than just theoretical strength; Han Tianyan must have seen something deeper.

While netizens and contestants were expressing their opinions, the judges remained completely silent.

After a while, Wei Yan covered his nose.

"This is outrageous! They're going to seal off the entire stadium with stench!"

Tan Zhifeng and Sui Wubai exchanged a glance and helplessly picked up their napkins.

Yin Shengjiang was even more confused. He felt that he shouldn't have let Han Tianyan get caught in this bug in the first place.

The once-successful "New Chef Competition" is now developing into an entertainment variety show.
Boiling "shit" is just the beginning; who knows what else might come out next.

He knew that Han Tianyan was mentally competing with Xia Ming, as a contestant who relied on "intelligence" to navigate the culinary world.

Having taken the first step, he was thoroughly tricked by Xia Ming.
It's like they're rubbing his "IQ" in the ground. At this moment, his desire for revenge may have surpassed the game itself.

"Still young, still defiant."

From the perspective of the viewers in the live broadcast room, Han Tianyan's behavior is a typical example of lacking "competitive spirit".

Actually, Xia Ming didn't have any either.
However, Xia Ming was operating within the rules, doing things covertly, which made him far more elegant than Han Tianyan, who was forced into a corner.

But being able to understand doesn't mean being able to accept it!

If Han Tianyan cannot reasonably explain the specific meaning of his actions later, his dish's rating may break the record for the lowest ever.

On the other hand, Xia Ming is very sensitive to smells.

In fact, Han Tianyan had a vague feeling about it the moment he took out the durian.

Seeing him cosplay the scene as a restroom made me laugh.

"Were you forced into this situation and had no choice but to seal off the entire area's scent to interrupt my investigation?"

"Isn't it better to finish the competition by inflicting 100 damage on the enemy and 800 damage on yourself?"

He admitted that, under the intense stimulation of multiple flavors, he could not accurately judge the taste of Han Tianyan soup.

After all, his sense of smell is different from that of ordinary people; he doesn't actually have a computer implanted in his brain.

He doesn't know whether Han Tianyan has reheated the soup.

For Xia Ming, Han Tianyan's stove is now also a blind box.

Regardless of how this move might affect his own rating, at least for the moment, he briefly caused Xia Ming some trouble.

Originally, Xia Ming planned to make a pasta dish using a method similar to that of French cuisine.

It's the dish that Nicholas Tse served up on the variety show "The Taste of Life".

The recipe and preparation method for that pasta sauce were actually borrowed from an overseas chef.

Of course, he didn't do that well.

Xia Ming will make adjustments based on this.
But now the problem is, Han Tianyan pulled this stunt.

The entire venue was sealed off, so the aroma of the pasta couldn't escape, which diminished its charm.

Xia Ming blinked. He needed to modify his main dish to better suit the current environment.

"But this smell is a bit too strong; ordinary scents simply can't overcome it."

"Wait, why do I need to break through?"

"I can totally use this smell!!! Who says 'stinky' smells can't be paired with French cuisine?"
