Chapter Seventy: The War of Cabbage and Radish (Part 2)

  Park Ji-soo was over the moon. Everything went as he had planned, and when Kim Yong's court kimchi came out, everyone was shocked, scoring a perfect score; from now on, 'Jangin Jip' will hold high the flag of Goguryeo in the culinary world of Chu, dominating the rivers and lakes for thousands of years...

  Yes, the people of Goguryeo also love to read Jin Yong's works. Of course, Park something will surely think that Jin Yong is not a literary giant of China, but a celebrity of Goguryeo.

  "Hehe, thank you all judges for your fair comments..."

  Park Zhi Su bowed slightly to the judges, then turned to Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I think this competition has become unnecessary to continue, don't you?"

  After hearing this, the representatives of various Chinese restaurants all secretly curled their lips. How dare this little stick be so arrogant? However, what he said was not wrong either. The imperial kimchi cooked by Jin Yong had already reached full marks, and it didn't make sense to compare it anymore. It's just a matter of letting people slap each other in the face even louder.

  The old place's Yun Da Chu has a few catties and taels, everyone knows. If it's said that the competition is between Lu, Chuan, and Yue cuisine, Xiao Baozi would be dead without knowing how to die; but compared to pickled vegetables...... Even if Yun Da Chu can get high scores, it's still useless, are full scores so easy to get?

  "Sorry, Park brother, but Old Zhang doesn't have a habit of retreating at the last minute..."

  Zhang Zhuang was overjoyed in his heart. Little stick, let you show off, old man wants to see how long you can be proud of? However, Zhang Zhuang's face was a serious and solemn expression, as if he were a 'not feeling well these days' little woman, making anyone who saw him feel like he was suppressing pain, swallowing his teeth: "Very sorry, our local food consultant has prepared the best pickled vegetables, we must let each of the judges taste them and give a score, right?"

  Zhang Zhuang cleverly classified the pickled radish of Zhou Yi as kimchi. Strictly speaking, pickled vegetables and kimchi are still different, but they are indeed close relatives. If one says that the kimchi of Goryeo was developed from the pickled vegetables of Huaxia because the country was small and weak and the people had no meat to eat, it would not be excessive; therefore, anyone can find fault with his words, saying in advance is just a precaution, lest when Xiaobang loses later, he will play with concepts on 'pickled vegetables' and 'kimchi'.

  "Gourmet consultant?"

  Even in Goryeo, there were people like food consultants. Park Ji-soo's expression changed suddenly, and the old place actually invited this hidden expert?

  "No need to look anymore, our food consultant hasn't arrived yet, but the kimchi he made has already arrived. Master Yun, serve the dishes..."

  "Okay."

  Yun Dacheng was not dissatisfied with this arrangement. Because Zhou Yi's pickled radish he had also tasted, and at the first taste, he was suddenly surprised by its excellence; being able to serve dishes for this mysterious consultant Mr., in Yun Dacheng's view, was not only not humiliating, but a great honor.

  Compared to the two sisters singing "dumping garbage" while serving dishes at Changjin restaurant, Yun Dacheng, dressed in a chef's uniform, presented five plates of pickled radish to the judges' table with a solemn expression, as if holding sacred objects. The representatives of various restaurants nodded in agreement, this is the orthodox way! Serving dishes should be simple and unpretentious, not like those two beautiful sisters, what were they doing?

  "Is this white radish?"

  Not just the five judges, but also the representatives sitting in the front row, couldn't help but rub their eyes at the same time.

  Zhang Zhao also deliberately showed off, when Yun Dacheng was presenting the radish dish, he had secretly instructed the lighting engineer; as Yun Dacheng approached the judges' table, the lights in the conference hall first dimmed, and then a bright beam of light fell on Yun Dacheng's body, shining on the five plates of radish on the tray.

  Yun Da Chu, this stern-looking successful man, a true gentleman, at this moment looks like a pure and innocent little swan on the ballet stage, instantly killing many people's gaze.

  Of course, everyone is mainly looking at the radish.

  Thin slices of radish as white as jade and snow, under the lamp light, emitting a misty vapor, just like a popsicle that has just been taken out of the refrigerator!

  Wafts of strange fragrance wafted out from the radish, instantly filling the entire conference room; this was the unique fresh and salty flavor of pickled vegetables... no! When everyone stretched their necks to greedily inhale this fragrance, they suddenly felt as if the tip of their nose had been violently struck by countless snowflakes.

  So cool...

  Before anyone could exclaim in surprise, the pure flavors of freshness, spiciness and saltiness arrived in succession, violently exploding inside everyone's nostrils, as if someone had suddenly lit firecrackers or detonated a string of firecrackers inside!

  The coolness was instantly swept away by a hot and spicy aroma, as if suddenly jumping into a warm spring in the icy snow, making people feel comfortable... just thinking that there would be a girl beside me at this moment.

  Wow! Is this still pickled vegetables? This is simply teasing everyone's appetite while also tempting their most primitive desires!

  Pickled radish, unparalleled in flavor and color! This thing shouldn't exist among humans, only hoping it would fall from heaven to the mortal world... A thousand pieces of gold for a fine horse, a thousand pieces of brocade for a warm coat, calling out to my son to come and eat pickled radish with me, sharing the eternal sorrow...

  At this moment, including Old Feng and Old Chang, everyone thought they had become poets... Suddenly lowering their heads, they found out that they were all just wet people.

  The whole scene was solemn, then suddenly burst into laughter.

  Splash!

  No wonder she's used to wielding long guns and cannons in the news circle for a few years, Yang Cai's two small ears perked up, and she stood up first. That image...... her neck stretched out, her little butt cocked up, as if a mother hen about to lay an egg!

  This time we must seize it! In a daze, Yang Cai suddenly recalled the experience of that day in Yunshui Mountain... Never mind, let's grab it first.

  Yun Daiju had just walked up to the judges' table when he encountered the most crazy judge of his life. Before he could even react, a white shadow flashed before his eyes and ten hands stretched out towards him. Some were as white as jade with red nail polish on their fingernails; some had chicken skin and crane hair, with yellow fingernail covers; some...

  Yang Cai's hands were about to grab two plates of radish and pull them back into her arms when she felt a strong force coming from her left hand, which suddenly snatched away a piece of fatty meat that was almost in her mouth. Feeling embarrassed and annoyed, she turned her head around and found Old Comrade Chang smiling and saying: "Little girl, you're at it again?"

  The two stick-wielding judges reacted extremely quickly, with a single stroke of their right hand, all their strength concentrated in the five fingers, each grabbing a plate and burying their heads to eat. It turns out they deeply grasped the essence of "emptiness" in Karate - "either don't move, or use full force".

  The most impressive one has to be Feng Huoyan, this old fellow. Although his movements are a bit slow, he excels in his footwork, which is incredibly clever. He had already circled around the judges' table and stepped on Lingbo's footwork before anyone else could react, and even managed to grab a turnip from her hand beforehand.

  Creaking and groaning...

  The five judges glared at each other and started eating carrots wildly.

  Ah... it turns out that the most delicious thing in the world is not the wild game from the mountains, geese from the clouds, cattle and sheep from the land, or fresh seafood from the sea, but rather radishes.

  The radish entrance, all five judges were shocked, their eyes wide open like bronze bells.

  What a brilliant pickled dish!

  At the beginning, this radish was like the top-grade crispy duck skin, and it melted in your mouth as soon as you put it in; when everyone was infatuated with this excellent taste, they felt a strong elasticity coming from inside the radish, which shook all the teeth in their mouths.

  Great bounce! The bouncy radish is not just attractive...

  Then, a chill that seemed to come from the far north, along with this rebounding force, penetrated deep into each judge's teeth and throat, and then rapidly reversed into their nasal cavity! This made the most fastidious group of gourmets shiver in unison, tears and snot gushing out.

  But this icy feeling didn't last long, a fiery salty flavor exploded under everyone's tongue and deep in their teeth.

  Ice and fire, two extremes of heaven!

  "Oh..."

  Yang Cai's whole body shook, and she uncontrollably let out a shrill cry from the depths of her throat, causing the four old men beside her and all the representatives in the hall to start thinking wildly...

  But this situation didn't last long, a very pure and innocent radish fragrance made everyone turn back into honest people.

  This is a dish that can drive people crazy and make them return to their true nature instantly, savoring the great Tao of radish.

  This is not just eating radish, it's a profound understanding of life...

  At this moment, everyone was poeticized; everyone felt that they had suddenly transformed into rabbits and would only love big radishes from now on.
