Who gave this heretical practitioner permission to cook?

Chapter 181 Taste is not only controlled by the tongue; Han Tianyan, who vomited seven times after eating, finally scored high (3K, second update).
"vomit"

"."

"woo"

"!"

"(Life is meaningless)"

"(anger)"

Not only Sui Wubai, but all seven judges practically rushed to spit out Han Tianyan's dish.

Judging from his expression, it was practically the same as being forced to take poison.

Because there was no water, Wei Yan even vomited for a long time, managing to reduce the water pressure in his mouth before stopping.

"Damn, this pork smells so pungent!"

"Are you trying to poison the judging panel?"

Tan Zhifeng was also annoyed.

"The sauce itself is extremely bland, but that cloying richness is incredibly long-lasting and persistent!"

For a fleeting moment, he even had a strong urge to shove the thing into Han Tianyan's mouth so he could experience firsthand what truly awful taste was.

Mao Xianzheng delivered a double blow, and now his eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Han Tianyan!

It's obvious that if his disciples and grand-disciples ever encounter Han Tianyan in the future, they will definitely give him "preferential treatment"!

After all, it was already outrageous for Old Master Mao to eat in his own territory (the outhouse) at his age, let alone have it smell like feces. This was truly the first time.

Yin Shengjiang's face also contorted; Han Tianyan's cooking would be considered the lowest grade even in Borneo.

Even boiling live pig kidneys in the Ganges River wouldn't produce such a fishy and foul odor!

Viewers in the live stream were utterly astonished by what they saw.

[Awesome! Absolutely awesome! Boiling shit isn't the limit, feeding shit is.]

[Oh my god, I'm leaving now, otherwise my phone will get all messed up.]

I'm leaving too. I'm afraid Wei Yan will vomit to death on my screen.

[Guys, I can't hold it in any longer, I'm going to the bathroom to cook.]

[To the guy upstairs, I've reported this. Could the description be any more disgusting?]

No need for further description, guys, it's already trending!

[It actually happened! "A 'poop-cooking master' has appeared in the cooking competition." Oh no, I can never watch cooking competitions the same way again.]

[I just want to know, after this match, will the judging panel seek compensation from Han Tianyan for emotional distress? After all, this round was incredibly grueling for him.]

[If it were me, I'd sue him until he's bankrupt!]

While the judges were hurting the audience in the live stream, Xia Ming watched with a smug expression.

"Wow, you vomited so cleanly. Hmm, your control over the taste is really lacking~"

Xia Ming did indeed bury a very strong offal smell in his main dish, sausage. This smell would gradually dissipate as the judges tasted the sauce in their mouths, and then slowly rise up from their stomachs.

However, this only makes people feel uncomfortable out of physiological instinct, at most they will feel that the food has a slightly strange taste.

It's far from being at the level where the next person would vomit immediately after eating it.

This was mainly because he had already secured the victory and thought he would have more interaction with the judges in the future, so he didn't go too far.

After all, the judges have suffered an undeserved misfortune, having no grudge against them, yet they have to endure inhuman torture here.

His ability to suppress and balance the fishy smell would be invaluable if it were a judge from overseas whom he didn't know.

He can guarantee that the more enjoyable the judges were while eating, the more "sour and refreshing" he would feel afterward.

"The flavor of this wine is still far inferior to that of 'Night Moon Beast Wine.' I'll see if there's a chance to brew something similar in the city sometime in the future."

As for why the judges are vomiting so much, Xia Ming has some speculations.

As mentioned before, Han Tianyan injured the enemy by a hundred, but also suffered eight hundred casualties himself.

He thought he could shut Xia Ming's nose with the stench, but in fact, Xia Ming could shut his own nose.

After going around in circles, the stench didn't affect Xia Ming much, but it completely disrupted the judgments of the judges and Han Tianyan.

"Han Tianyan is ultimately just an ordinary person. Under extreme stench conditions, without the ability to fully utilize his sensory talents, his misjudgment of the food should be much more serious than he imagined."

"He probably didn't expect me to turn the tables on him, and he wasn't prepared in advance."

"His sense of smell was completely gone, but he still thought he could rely on his sense of taste to judge flavors."

Thinking of this, Xia Ming couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Could it be that this guy didn't use the same textbook as the one I remember studying from?"

"If you don't even understand the most basic 'composition of taste,' what kind of chef are you? And you're so calculating—can you even figure it out?"

In fact, the "taste" of ordinary people is a comprehensive term, which essentially involves the collaboration of multiple senses and comprehensive processing in the brain.

First, the tongue.

The tongue has thousands of taste buds, which are responsible for sensing the sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami flavors of food entering the mouth and then making corresponding responses.

Secondly, the nose!

The sense of smell has a significant impact on the sense of taste because the odor molecules released when food is chewed can enter the nasal cavity through the posterior nasal passage.

Its olfactory and gustatory senses interact with each other, and together with other senses such as touch, they transmit data to the brain. Only after the brain integrates this data can it form the so-called "flavor" perception.

There is a point that needs to be emphasized here. That is, the "fishy smell" in a broad sense is not actually one of the five primary tastes (sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami), and it is not perceived by the tongue.

It is sensed by the nose.
Therefore, after his nose became completely unbalanced, Han Tianyan's perception of fishy smells became significantly distorted.

He thought he had made something that matched the taste of the dish, but actually the taste was seriously off.

If the judges, like before, were also overwhelmed by the stench, that would be one thing.
Unable to resist, Xia Ming's serving of wasabi gave the judges' noses a severe irritation.

Therefore, for a short period of time, the judges' senses are in a "sensitive" and "vulnerable" environment.

In this situation, the offal smell that Xia Ming had previously experienced will gradually become apparent, which is due to the sauce dissipating.

This is also why many people don't realize something is wrong when they eat offal, especially intestines, but feel something is off afterward.

Normally, this condition would change back to "nasal desensitization" over time.

Unfortunately, Han Tianyan brought his already fishy-smelling dish, A, to the table.

This process amplified the fishy smell of his meat countless times, directly affecting the physiological senses of all the judges.

"Since things have come to this, how can the judges not complain or swallow their anger?"

Xia Ming piled the empty plates together with the ones he had cleared away earlier, then shook his head as he watched Han Tianyan's retreating figure.

"it's all over"

Just like Xia Ming's judgment, after seeing the judges spit out all the dishes he had made.

Han Tianyan also understood that everything was over.

This likely includes his own culinary career as well.

If only Mao Xianzheng had vomited before, it could be explained, but now...
He can't clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River!
Regardless of how he initially intended to exploit the rules and exploit bugs, the outcome was already predetermined from the moment he opened the can of herring and the roasted durian.

Yes, no matter how many points he gets, he can get the rewards for the New Chef Competition, and he can even enter the "Hua 3 level".

However, the impact of this competition on the judges and the culinary world will not disappear.

It's somewhat reminiscent of the comparison between "Zhai Tianlin" and "CNKI".

In any case, after this match, Yin Shengjiang will definitely add restrictions to tomorrow's competition and write them into the rules of every future competition.

As for why we didn't continue the competition today...
Given the judges' condition, not taking a single day off to relax and unwind is truly commendable!
As time passed, Xia Ming finally served his "rice pudding".

After Han Tianyan abandoned the stench bombardment in order to secure his last shred of future prospects, Xia Ming had no reason to continue pursuing it.

Even so, the stench inside the arena was endured until the very end before it almost dissipated, which shows how fierce the battle had been!
The judges were no longer really interested in judging Xia Ming's "rice pudding".

The outcome and the score were already decided in their hearts; this last whiff of glutinous rice fragrance was merely adding another handful of soil to Han Tianyan's grave.

After a long and grueling 8-hour ordeal, we finally arrived at the scoring segment that netizens were eagerly anticipating.

At this moment, no one in the live stream cared about Xia Ming's score; they just wanted to see what score Han Tianyan could achieve with his incredible feat of "spitting out seven meals in one sitting."

[If it were me, I'd give it 0 points. I was so sick of it, I couldn't exactly give it some encouragement points!]

[The internet is so fast these days. The match wasn't even over yet, and there was already a detailed analysis of the first half. Han Tianyan's actions were completely exposed. It's absolutely disgusting.]

[These bloggers are really working hard these days, editing videos while watching live streams! Take a break, don't overwork yourself. Okay, I've rested a bit, time for the second half!]

[You upstairs didn't spare those bloggers either. If you ask me, I'd still give them a token score. Giving them zero would ruin their reputation, wouldn't it?]

[Seven judges were almost ruined by Han Tianyan, and now you're suddenly acting like a saint.]

[I remember that Teacher Sui Wubai has naturally coordinated and sensitive five senses. If anything goes wrong with that, just watch how Han Tianyan dies!]

Don't overthink it, if you ask me, it's a straight -100 points!

While netizens were discussing the matter, the judges finished giving their scores.

The first score broadcast was Xia Ming's, and there weren't any major surprises.
The overall score is 95.6, which is slightly lower than before.

As for the reason, it is most likely that the judges were indeed unable to fully experience the taste of the entire Xiaming cuisine in that environment.

Of course, whether they would still be willing to eat it in a different environment is another matter.

Xia Ming wasn't dissatisfied with the score. After all, this was a qualifying round, and he only needed to score higher than Han Tianyan.

Han Tianyan's heart sank to the bottom at this moment.

His last chance to save face is to hope that the judges will give him some sympathy points, considering his understanding of French cuisine and the plating of his previous dishes.

Just as he was pondering this, the results were finally announced on the large screen in front of him.

[Yin Shengjiang: 0]

[Tan Zhifeng: 0]

[Sui Wubai: 0]

[You Zhangwen: 0]

[Wei Yan: 0]

[Mao Xianzheng: 0]

[Yu Fangmei: 0]

[After removing scores according to the rules]

Han Tianyan's final overall score in the "8-to-4 elimination round": 0 points

Upon seeing this score, Han Tianyan felt his mind go blank.
Then, with a "crack," he slumped to the side.
