After Huang Liang, the other six judges also finished tasting the Beef Noodle Soup in front of them.

“Next, we will vote.”

Huang Liang exchanged a glance with the other judges before he spoke slowly.

“As the lead judge, I will vote last.”

As his words died away, the judge seated at the far left of the judges’ seats was the first to speak, “My vote goes to Qin Lang.”

One vote for Qin Lang!

Liu Tianchen subtly clenched his hands due to nervousness.

Even if the hope was slim, he still wanted to win!

“I also vote for Qin Lang.”

The vote from the second judge made his grip even tighter.

“My vote goes to Qin Lang.”

This was the third judge.

“Qin Lang.”

When the fourth judge also announced Qin Lang’s name, the last ray of hope in Liu Tianchen’s heart disappeared. He slowly released his clenched hands and took a deep breath.

Qin Lang got the majority of votes, he had lost.

It’s okay to have lost to the city-level cooking champion, it’s normal.

He silently comforted himself in his heart, his eyes looked at the three judges who had not yet voted.

Was there a single vote that would go to him?

“Qin Lang.”

“I choose Qin Lang.”

Finally, Huang Liang, who was voting last, looked at Liu Tianchen, who was increasingly despondent. He sighed softly in his heart, “A^y vote also goes to Qin Lang.”

Unanimous vote!

“Next, the Food Fight participants will taste each other’s dishes. If there are any objections to the voting results, they can be filed.”

The moment has finally come.

Liu Tianchen perked up.

He handed a bowl of Beef Noodle Soup to Qin Lang, “Please try it.”

“Scallion Oil Noodles. Please try it.” Qin Lang smiled and handed a plate of Scallion Oil Noodles to him.

On top of the white pulled noodles, the red chili powder and the green bok choy created a strong color contrast, which made the colors of the Scallion Oil Noodles richer.

Liu Tianchen picked up the chopsticks and quickly mixed the Scallion Oil Noodles, letting the pure white pulled noodles moisten in light brown sauce and scattered chili powder, revealing an even more tempting complete dish.

During this process, he noticed something unusual.

The noodle ingredient used by Qin Lang for his Scallion Oil Noodles, he had never seen it before.

Could it be…

A thought quickly formed in his mind, causing Liu Tianchen to widen his eyes, and without hesitation, he grabbed a long strand of pulled noodle with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

“Slurp-”

He found out that this wide noodle was longer than he had imagined, it seemed to have no end, he had no choice but to bite it off, then he started chewing.

Soon, the unique, chewy taste of the pulled noodles burst forth as he chewed.

A mix of salty, spicy, and a touch of aged vinegar, coupled with the unique aroma of the noodles released in the process of chewing, the simple combination gave Liu Tianchen a feeling he could not resist.

After finishing a mouthful, he picked another chopstick full and put it into his mouth, now understanding why the judges were eating in such an unrestrained manner earlier.

These noodles, they’re really delicious!

On the other side, Qin Lang was also tasting Liu Tianchen’s Beef Noodle Soup.

The noodles Liu Tianchen used were handmade noodles available in stores, leaving out the steps like kneading the dough, which was the key reason why he wasn’t slower than Qin Lang.

The thinly sliced beef seemed to have been through a brine process after being cut, bringing a rich umami taste, which paired quite well with the chewy texture of the noodles.

As for the clear soup…

That seemingly simple soup also gave Qin Lang quite a surprise.

The seasoning was quite unique, a mix of sour, sweet, and salty, similar to the taste of Borscht.

But this was a clear soup.

For a moment, Qin Lang couldn’t guess what specific seasonings were used, but when paired with the noodles and beef, the overall taste was great.

With his appetite whetted, he “slurped” and finished the bowl of noodles in front of him quickly.

“The Scallion Oil Noodles taste really good.”

At the same time Qin Lang finished eating, Liu Tianchen, who was on the other side, could not help but put down his chopsticks with a sense of loss. Then, he asked the question he had been guessing, “The wide and long noodles in the Scallion Oil Noodles, did you make them yourself?”

“Yes.” Qin Lang nodded.

“I see, no wonder it’s so chewy and delicious.” Liu Tianchen nodded in realization, “My dad also once said that if you want to make great noodle dishes, you’d better understand how to make the dough.”

“If you can master the kneading process and consider how the noodle changes during seasoning and cooking, it will greatly help with cooking noodle dishes.”

“It seems that after this time, 1 need to learn how to knead dough.” Liu Tianchen’s face beamed with excitement, replacing his previous disappointment, “If there’s a chance, let’s have another match!”

“You’re always welcome.” Qin Lang nodded.

“It appears there are no objections.” Seeing the two in jovial conversation, Huang Liang spoke up, “I declare that the winner of this Food Fight is

“Qin Lang!”

As his words fell, the radiance of the Star Power in the air fell onto the two of them.

This Food Fight ended with the victory of Qin Lang.

After leaving the Food Fight venue, the five of them did not leave the Spirit Chef Association immediately.

“Qin Lang, are you planning to obtain the Second-Level Food Recommender Badge of this city?”

Liu Tianchen’s question took Qin Lang by surprise.

Oh right!

He was so busy with the Youth Training Competition that he completely forgot about this.

In every new city, he could try to earn a Second-Level Food Recommender Badge in that city to prepare for the provincial-level Cooking Competition.

“What’s the qualification requirement for the Second-Level Food Recommender Badge in Bai Lu Mountain City?”

“If I remember correctly, you just need to have a Second-Level Food Recommender Badge from anywhere in the Tianhua State, then you can directly visit Mrs. Yunqi, who is a Second-Level Food Recommender.” Liu Tianchen looked at Qin Lang, “You already meet the requirements.”

“Qin Lang, you need to hurry!” Qi Xiaoyu cheerfully said, “This is a great opportunity to get your second Second-Level Food Recommender Badge.”

“I indeed need to plan something.” Qin Lang nodded slightly.

The Selection Battle is tomorrow, it’s a bit late to go now.

But there is a three-day break between the Selection Battle and the Ranking Battle, enough time to go and try to visit this Second-Level Food Recommender named Yunqi.

“Tianchen, thank you for reminding me!”

Qin Lang patted Liu Tianchen’s shoulder, showing gratitude.

“It’s nothing.” Liu Tianchen smiled, “Tomorrow is your Selection Battle, I have already bought the tickets, you guys have to do your best!”

“Definitely!” x4

With the Selection Battle imminent, the four of them did not waste much time and quickly took the cable car down the mountain.

Watching the four of them leave, Liu Tianchen stretched lazily, planning to go home to study how to knead dough.

A hand patted his shoulder from behind.

Liu Tianchen turned his head, a look of surprise on his face, “Dad?”

Liu Shuang, who had appeared behind him unknowingly, smiled, “I watched the replay of the Food Fight, you did well.”

“But…I lost.” Hearing his father’s praise, Liu Tianchen hung his head in frustration.

Liu Shuang shook his head.

“You may not have noticed it.”

“Every one of the seven judges, and even your opponent, completely cleaned off the Beef Noodle Soup you made.”
