Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

As soon as Fang Shanren shouted, all the judges on the stage frowned.

This was blatant provocation to the other judges.

Especially Master Jin, whose gaze toward Fang Shanren turned hostile.

"According to the rules of the culinary competition, each judge is free to express their opinions and evaluate the contestants' dishes. Compared to the other contestants' dishes, Madam Shen's tiger-skin eggs are indeed not presentable, so it is only right that we give them a red card."

"Mr. Fang, please calm down."

Chairman Wu, the president of the Beijing Food Association, spoke up.

Chairman Wu, always tactful, got up and pulled Fang Shanren back to his seat.

The food competition is being held in the public eye, and if things get too tense, it won't be good for anyone.

Fang Shanren snorted coldly and sat down, which was considered giving Chairman Wu face.

But he had already made up his mind that if Shen Qing was eliminated later, he would definitely step down from the stage and quit being a lousy judge!

The audience below the stage held their breath, each afraid of missing any gossip.

At this moment, the focus shifted back to Mr. Qingci.

Without saying a word, Mr. Qingci raised the red card directly.

That benevolent man must have a close relationship with this Lady Shen, so of course he wouldn't allow such a contestant to advance.

Mr. Qingci felt he possessed an unyielding spirit.

"Are you sick?! You raised the red card without even tasting it!!" Yan Wenli, who was in the audience, cursed.

He was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed.

With a determined effort, he ran straight towards the judges' table.

Situ Liang, who was standing next to him, was stunned: "What are you doing??"

Yan Wenli went straight to the judges' platform and strode up to Mr. Qingci.

Without saying a word, he picked up a tiger-skin egg from the white porcelain plate, pinched Mr. Qingci's mouth with one hand, and stuffed the tiger-skin egg into it with the other.

"Did you even taste it before giving it a red card??" Yan Wenli finished stuffing the sauce into his hand and then licked the sauce off his hand.

Mr. Qingci's mouth was wide open and his eyes were wide open.

He had a feeling that he had been betrayed.

He quickly took the tiger-skin egg off with one hand.

But the moment you close your mouth, a mysterious sweetness spreads across your tongue, unlike cane sugar, honey, or maltose.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's strangely delicious.

It's sweet with a hint of sourness and a savory sauce flavor.

Mr. Qingci was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the tiger-skin egg in his hand.

The surface of the egg is covered with brown wrinkles of varying shades and widths, coated with sauce, giving it an amber color that gleams in the sunlight. A few sesame seeds are also stuck to the egg, making it clear that this tiger-skin egg is very flavorful.

Recalling the taste in his mouth just now, Mr. Qingci couldn't help but put the egg to his lips and take a bite.

The moment your teeth bite through the tiger skin folds, the sauce deep inside is squeezed out and floods your mouth.

It still has that wonderful sweet and sour taste, mixed with the salty aroma of soy sauce, making you feel like you're floating on air and your mouth watering.

After chewing for a while, the aroma of eggs gradually emerges. The fried egg whites have a firm yet bouncy texture, and the tiger-skin wrinkles are very supple, while the yolks are soft and chewy.

The eggs and sauce mix perfectly in your mouth, creating a multi-layered taste experience.

After swallowing, a hint of caramel sweetness lingers in the mouth, and the lingering aroma of eggs makes you want to take another bite.

Mr. Qingci was completely shocked.

I thought this was something that couldn't be served in a formal setting, but it turned out to be so delicious!

"I was ignorant and arrogant. These tiger-skin eggs are simply the most delicious food in the world!!!"

Mr. Qingci was so excited that he pulled out the Golden Chopstick Token from his pocket.

"This golden chopstick token of mine guarantees Lady Shen's advancement!!" With that, he slammed the golden chopstick token onto the table, then turned and picked up a tiger-skin egg to eat.

Once Yan Wenli saw that he had a good chance of winning, he also grabbed a tiger-skin egg and started eating it.

Everyone else at the scene was stunned.

After an eerie silence, the entire venue erupted in cheers:

"Holy crap, what's going on???"

"Am I seeing things? Why did Mr. Qingci take out the Golden Chopsticks Token?"

"This is outrageous! It feels like yesterday's scene is repeating itself!"

"Is it really that delicious, or is it just hype? Why are they exaggerating?"

"..."

The discussions grew louder and louder. No one could believe that two golden chopsticks had been issued in just two days, and both had been used on the same person.

That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

The judges on stage were equally shocked, and Jin Ye's face turned completely black.

Chairman Wu's voice trembled: "Golden Chopsticks Token... Sir, are you sure??"

"I'm sure! If you ask me, let's skip the competition. Madam Shen should just take first place. I've never eaten anything this delicious in my life!" Mr. Qingci said, licking his fingers.

He didn't care about his image at all; elegance and pride were nothing compared to eating tiger-skin eggs.

Fang Shanren also came over, picked up an egg and put it in his mouth, saying as he chewed, "I told you to try it, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"And let me tell you, the cucumber salad yesterday was absolutely amazing, you can't even imagine."

Fang Shanren had a hint of smugness on his face.

Mr. Qingci frowned in regret, wishing he hadn't looked down on the cold dishes.

Even just a taste would be nice.

"Everything Madam Shen makes is delicious. Let me tell you, Madam Shen is very famous in Ping'an County. Her stinky tofu, Four Delicacies Soup, shrimp and fish cake noodles, etc., are all absolutely delicious!!" As a seasoned gourmet, Yan Wenli's face was full of pride.

Madam Shen is a treasure of a cook; everything she makes smells delicious.

Seeing this, Situ Liang, who was sitting in the audience, also ran up and stuffed an egg into his mouth.

He simply couldn't hold back any longer!

If this guy surnamed Yan can run up there, then it shouldn't be a problem for him to run up there either.

The four of them sat around the bowl of tiger-skin eggs and started eating, wolfing them down as if they hadn't eaten for days, completely disregarding the feelings of the others present.

"I'll leave two for Master Guo," Shen Qing said with a smile.

Guo Tiancheng, following the rules, was tempted but dared not come up, and could only watch longingly from the ground.

At this moment, Master Jin's face darkened even more.

This has never happened before in the food competitions he organized with his own money.

This is blatant disregard for him!

"Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over a simple tiger-skin egg dish?" The renowned gourmet Mr. He frowned, his eyes filled with deep doubt.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Jin's face was incredibly dark at that moment, he would have liked to go and join in the fun.

After a while, seeing that none of the other judges spoke, Old Master He couldn't help but speak again:

"Now that the Golden Chopsticks Token has been issued, shouldn't the results be announced?"

He mainly felt that if he didn't say something, the situation would become very awkward.

After all, delaying the announcement under the watchful eyes of the public would likely lead others to question the rules of the competition.
