As the examiner announced, everyone slowly stopped what they were doing and began to bring out the food one by one. The first was Erha’s Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. The soup was sweet, the lotus seeds were soft and waxy, and the Tremella was crisp and tasted great. Very good, the average score was ninety-six, but the green pigment was on the low side, only seventy-five.
Next was Kai’s chicken soup. The soup was made from chicken breast and kelp and tasted salty and fresh. It was a bit old-fashioned. The average score was 83%, but the green pigment was 90%.
Mr. Bai and Mr. Qin looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Next was Sophie’s bird’s nest soup[1], which was silky and delicious. Most of the men thought it was a bit sweet, but Esme thought it was okay, so it was divided evenly. The average score was a bit ugly, only 75, but the green pigment value was 85.
When the scores came out, Sophie’s face immediately turned ugly. She wanted to lose her temper, but because the emperor was here, she could only hold it back.
Then, the scores kept hovering around eighty, and everyone began to feel numb after eating, until they arrived at Mai Tian’s rock sugar almond and snow pear soup[2], with an average score of ninety and a green pigment value of ninety-six.
When the results came out, everyone’s attention was focused on Su Yemu. This was so amazing. The green pigment value closely followed the value of Su Yemu’s ‘boiled cabbage’!
It was Su Yemu’s turn. Everyone became nervous for some reason, and even their breathing quickened.
When the lid was opened, the fragrance overflowed, and everyone rushed forward. When the soup entered their mouths, everyone paused for a moment, swallowed it slowly, and their eyes shone.
The four strands were soft and tender, and the soup was pure and delicious. It melted in your mouth, but stayed fresh on your lips and teeth, with endless aftertaste and the ultimate umami taste.
It’s delicious. It tastes better than I imagined. It’s delicious!
The soup looks clear and watery, but the taste is extremely delicious.
Refreshing, smooth, sweet, delicious, ah…ah…ah…, why don’t we have this person in the federation? Does anyone want to form a group to kidnap people?
The Federation is here, for justice, charge!
The bowl was very small. Because of the exquisiteness of the food, everyone unconsciously slowed down and tasted it slowly. Esme, a girl, only took a few bites and then finished it. Those big men only took two bites. Everyone said: It’s not enough!
Their eyes couldn’t help but turn to the small bowl of Wensi tofu left for the live broadcast audience. Mr. Qin and Mr. Bai smashed their chins; His Majesty the Emperor raised his chin slightly, with a straight face, and groaned in his heart: Too little, too little, should I go to Marshal? Where is the government? No, it seems more realistic to bring Su Yemu to the palace. I don’t want to see this kid Yunting, but…
The emperor was confused, but the time for grading had arrived. First, he announced that the green pigment value was ninety-nine, and the color, fragrance and color were averaged at one Hundred.
Su Yemu won again, with Mai Tian taking second place, Kai in third place, and Erha being squeezed out of the top three, ranking fourth.
There were cheers in the live broadcast room, celebrating for Su Yemu, but unwilling to give in for Erha. How could his green pigment be so low despite his high score for color, fragrance, and flavour?
At this time, Mr. Bai and Mr. Qin were sure. After numerical analysis by twenty-five chefs, they confirmed that the level of green pigment was not only related to color, fragrance, but also vital mental power, and it was a healing factor.
They found that dishes with high green pigment value had healing properties.
This discovery made the two of them very excited. If so, the soldiers suffering from mental mania could be saved.
But what was going on with Su Yemu?
He told General Gu that he had no mental power. When he checked his information, it also showed that his mental power was zero. But why was his green pigment value so high?
This discovery was so shocking. If anyone knew about it, Su Yemu’s fate would probably be to spend the rest of his life in the laboratory.
Mr. Qin and Mr. Bai looked solemn. You looked at me and I looked at you. Before they could say anything, a gnawing look made them look at the other party involuntarily. It was He Yunting.
He just sat leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes focused on the two of them, and his index finger lightly clicked on the table without making any sound. However, the two old men, whose age combined was over 500 years old, felt an inexplicable pressure coming down from their heads, and it left them breathless.
“Boy He, don’t be too arrogant.”
Mr. Qin had to warn.
He Yunting smiled, and the intimidation disappeared: “How could it be? I have always respected you two, but there are some people who are my enemies and cannot be touched.”
Mr. Bai snorted softly: “It is better to worry about us than to worry about being unable to hide in the future.”
He Yunting looked at Su Yemu who was talking to Erha. He didn’t reply, but his determined eyes clearly told the two old people that anyone who dared to touch Su Yemu would not end well.
The exam was coming to an end. Among the twenty-one, a total of twelve people had obtained the first-level certificate. The others could only wait until the next time to take the exam again.
After Su Yemu received the certificate, he thought it was about to end, but the examiner asked them to stand aside. His Majesty the Emperor stood up and walked to the middle.
A group of reporters focused on the emperor and took photos wildly. Some people below felt uneasy. What was His Majesty the Emperor planning to do?
“Today I am attending the Senior Technician Examination. In addition to being determined to promote imperial cooking, there is also another very important thing.”
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Erha. Erha’s face turned pale with fright. He took two steps back and wanted to run away. Suddenly someone appeared behind him and he immediately grabbed his waist.
Erha shouted in surprise: “General Gavin?”
Gavin bowed slightly to Erha: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince Kevin.”
The people standing next to Erha were in an uproar and looked at Erha in disbelief.
“I have been feeling unwell recently and feel that it is time for the people of the empire to get to know the Crown Prince,” His Majesty the Emperor waved to Erha: “Come here, Kevin.” The media’s cameras immediately focused on Erha and started filming wildly.
The comments were filled with the word ‘f*ck’. Isn’t this person the ‘King Chef of the Universe’? At the age of sixteen, he already appeared in front of everyone when he participated in the King of Kitchen Competition.
It seems like yesterday that he was scolded and made to cry by Mr. Chen. Now you tell me that he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your royal family is too wilful. Can you consider the people’s heart capacity?
Erha didn’t want to go up, but Gavin grabbed his waist and seemed to be supporting him, but he almost dragged him to his father’s side.
The emperor brought Erha to his side: “My dear people of the empire, this is my only child, Crown Prince Kevin.”
The only child, who would be the emperor of the empire in the future, the royal family finally pushed the crown prince to the front. This day was destined to bring unrest to the empire, and at the same time, this information quickly spread to the Federation and other civilizations.
Erha was stunned. He had never thought that his father would push him in front of others like this. He knew that his father’s inexplicable appearance here must be because he was up to no good.
Gavin came to Erha, knelt down on one knee, and hit his chest with his fist: “My dear Your Highness, I swear with my life that I will be loyal to you forever.”
He Yunting pressed his military cap to cover the flash of his heart. Dear Your Majesty, are you so eager to consolidate his position?
