Yu Antong went to open the door, and it turned out to be Xing Lixuan.
“Get off work?” Yu Antong turned sideways to let him in.
“Yeah.” Xing Lixuan was carrying a carton of milk in his hand, which was bought for Yu Annan.
“Xing-ge, you’re here.” Yu Annan followed, stepped forward to take the milk, “Xing-ge, you can sit down.”
Xing Lixuan replied, “Thanks for the offer, but I’ll take your brother home now.”
“I’m leaving.” Yu Antong bid farewell to his sister, “Call me if you need anything.”
“Mn.”
Yu Annan sent the two of them away and continued to watch “God of Chefs”.
It was the first time for the contestants to make these street snacks, and almost all the final products had defects of one kind or another.
The most important part of the Eight Treasure Pastry made by Zhuang Zhouyang was the two layers of puff pastry outside.
One layer was made from a kneaded dough from water, medium-gluten flour, sugar, and lard. While the other layer of puff pastry was made from kneaded low-gluten flour and lard.
After making the dough, it needed to be wrapped and rested for 20 minutes, then cut it up into smaller sizes. After portioning it up, both doughs were rolled into a long tongue-like shape, folded, then rested for 10 minutes. After that, it needed to be rolled again for a second time before resting for another 10 minutes.
Then, both types of dough were stacked and baked, making it properly flaky yet chewy.
The dough-making process was very time consuming, so Zhuang Zhouyang only has one chance to do it right.
One failure and he’ll lose.
Zhuang Zhouyang was therefore more cautious than other contestants. Unfortunately, he still had some shortcomings in the step of making the water-lard dough. He messed up the water-lard ratio, so the end result was the pastry came out too dry.
Yu Xingmin was defeated in the making of Scallop-Shell Dumplings. He tried for a long time but couldn’t make the beautiful shell-shaped ones sold by the store. His struggle in shaping it up really made the audience pity him. Finally, seeing that he had no time to experiment further, he just made common-shaped dumplings, hoping to conquer the judges in terms of taste.
Fu Fengxing was a bit better. His knife skills were excellent, and it was not difficult for him to cut the beef into very thin slices. What was more difficult was the secret chili oil used for frying the beef. The owner only gave the ingredients and rough production steps. After tasting the Lamp Shadow Beef made by the owner, he could only guess on how to recreate the taste.
The best one here is Yu Antong, both in terms of taste and appearance, it was an authentic Pot Helmet.
“I like this spicy Lamp Shadow Beef. I think it’s just right to eat with the Pot Helmets. A combination of beef and bread is always correct, haha.”
“These Scallop-Shell Dumplings don’t look how they should… I don’t even want to give it a pass.”
“Actually, the taste is not bad, but this can no longer be called Scallop-Shell Dumplings anymore. If this is just an ordinary dumpling, I’ll give it 9 points. But as Scallop-Shell Dumplings, giving it 8 points is already generous.”
“This Eight Treasure Pastry is a bit too dry, so the taste isn’t as good. But it’s still passable, and it does look how it should. I’ll give it a 8.2.”
…
After tasting and discussing, the judges scored at the same time. After the staff counted, the host announced the final result.
“Yu Antong has an average score of 9.48 points, Fu Fengxing has an average score of 9.25 points, and Xie Wenchang has an average score of 9.02 points. The three of you are the top three in this competition! Congratulations, you are the first to enter the top four in the country, and you are one step closer to the title of God of Chefs! “
Both Yu Antong and Fu Fengxing’s performances in previous episodes were remarkable. It’s not surprising that they were the first to be shortlisted. However, Xie Wenchang, who came in third, has always performed mediocrely. There are a few episodes where he was on the verge of losing, but unexpectedly, he persisted all the way to this round.
“There is one last place leading to the semi-final round, who is the fourth?” The camera swept across the faces of the remaining three contestants, arousing the curiosity of the audience. But then, the host suddenly interrupted it with an ad break, “Thank you Youneng…”
Yu Annan didn’t care about anything else after knowing that the first place was her brother, so she took the opportunity to pour a glass of water.
And she was back just in time to hear the fourth place announcement.
“The fourth place is… Zhuang Zhouyang! Congratulations to Zhuang Zhouyang for entering the national semi-finals with an average score of 8.93!”
Yu Annan was a little happy to hear Yu Xingmin lost.
After knowing that Yu Xingmin was the chef in Baifang House opened by her uncle Yu Qingnian, she had always been a little worried that Yu Xingmin would play tricks on the show that would affect her brother. Now that Yu Xingmin was eliminated, she was relieved.
Her Uncle treats her and her elder brother badly, so she naturally doesn’t want them to have an easy life.
At this moment, Yu Qingnian was really having a hard time. First, he endured the pain and returned Yu Antong’s money. Then he lost a lot of money due to bad investment. The company’s turnover was difficult, and he had no choice but to sell two branches to cover the losses.
For this God of Chefs competition, he had originally hoped that Yu Xingmin, who had the best culinary skills in the restaurant, would win the championship and gain some popularity for Baifang House, so that the business would flourish again. Unexpectedly, Yu Antong also participated in the competition.
What surprised him even more was that Yu Antong’s cooking skill was so good, and the Immortal’s Banquet was really developed by him alone.
With the broadcast of the variety show, the business of Immortal’s Banquet became more and more prosperous. He was beyond jealous and hated Yu Antong with every fiber of his being. At some point, he thought about letting Yu Xingmin do something on the show and sabotage Yu Antong, causing great damage to the reputation of Immortal’s Banquet.
But when he thought of Yu Antong’s marriage with Xing Lixuan and the price of offending the Xing family, Yu Qingnian didn’t even dare to think about it. Juying Tower, which used to be evenly matched with Baifang House, has now fallen in Jaingcheng. Their blunder is the best deterrent for not pissing off the Xing family.
Yu Qingnian could only reluctantly give up those sinister plans.
Yu Xingmin’s failure to win the championship was actually expected by Yu Qingnian, but after knowing the result, Yu Qingnian was still full of unwillingness.
Unwilling to the fact that Baifang House has come to an end, and no one will know the reputation of the Yu family, who were once the Imperial Family’s royal chefs. Of course, he was much more unwilling because he knew his profits were dwindling down.
People who are accustomed to a life of luxury are unwilling to face their own imminent poverty.
At this moment, Yu Qingnian began to regret – if he had been nicer to Yu Antong back then, things would have been completely different.
If he hadn’t done those crooked ideas and let Yu Antong marry into the Xing family, then there would be no Immortal’s Banquet in the world, only Baifang House. It would thrive as Immortal’s Banquet now, and the Yu family will once again be exalted as the current-day Imperial Royal Chefs like centuries ago…
Yu Qingnian covered his eyes with his hands, raised his head and let out a deep sigh.
Yu Antong didn’t care what Yu Qingnian thought. He took the milk bath as he wished, and under the psychological effect, he felt that his skin’s delicateness levels were increasing.
He was in a good mood.
“Husband, come here! Do you smell my sweet fragrance?”
Yu Antong lay on the bed after taking a shower, with half the quilt covering his body, playing with his mobile phone. When Xing Lixuan came out of the shower, he threw down his mobile phone, and waved to Xing Lixuan enthusiastically, his eyes burning hot.
Xing Lixuan frowned. “Not wearing pajamas?”
Yu Antong’s waist was covered with half of the black summer quilt, his thin white arms and long legs were exposed. The contrast between black quilt and pale skin was eye-catching, especially because he clearly wasn’t wearing pajamas.
“Why would I? It’s so troublesome.” Yu Antong smiled like a cunning vixen. “I’m going to take it off soon anyways.”
Xing Lixuan ignored him, went to the wardrobe and put on his own pajamas.
“What are you doing!” Yu Antong’s smile disappeared, and he punched the bed angrily, and when Xing Lixuan got on the bed, he rushed over to bite him.
After biting, he said angrily. “Tell me, am I not attractive to you anymore!”
“Don’t make trouble.” Xing Lixuan hugged him to prevent him from flailing around. “Xiao Nian is now a few months old and you are still making trouble.”
“Hmph.” Yu Antong hummed in dissatisfaction, but still lay down obediently. After two seconds of silence, he began to seduce him. “But I miss you so much.”
It’s clear what Yu Antong is asking for.
“Husband, give me a kiss.” Yu Antong raised his head slightly, looking at Xing Lixuan eagerly, his reddened phoenix eyes were especially alluring, but now they are even more sultry.
Xing Lixuan’s throat tightened, he held him in his arms, and without looking at his face, he said in a deep voice, “Baby, stop torturing me.”
Yu Antong and Xing Lixuan kissed a few times to satisfy their craving. But, a drop of water could not quench their flaming passion. The more they kiss, the more heated they become.
“No more kisses, no more kisses, sleep, sleep!” Yu Antong gave up, “You sleep too, you are not allowed to do it yourself, save it for me! After Xiao Nian is born, it all will be mine.”
Xing Lixuan was confused by Yu Antong. “Shut up, you’re shameless, you little bastard.”
Needless to say, of course “it” all belongs to him, and Xing Lixuan has written this “debt” down.
Unable to have sex, Yu Antong can only focus on his career. It happened that Fu Xin told him that the progress of the new factory was faster than expected, and it was expected to be put into production within two weeks.
Yu Antong said, “Okay, you contact our suppliers, purchase raw materials, and expand the production of chili sauce according to the previous plan. I will also develop more new products during this time.”
“Well, I’m already in contact with the supplier.” Fu Xin has always been diligent in his work.
Yu Antong first tried to make several new sauces, and then read the reviews of customers in the Immortal’s Banquet online store, and found that everyone loves butter hot pot very much. However, it wasn’t suitable for those who can’t stand spicy food – they liked the taste, but everytime they ate it, it’s painful but so good.
The evaluation of a hot pot base was literally described by educated netizens as a sadomasochistic love affair of the century – they fell in love, but fate has parted them apart.
Yu Antong was delighted to see it, and developed a clear soup hot pot base, which can be bought alone or combined with butter base to form a mandarin duck pot.
Before mass production in the new factory, a small batch was trial-produced in the current factory, and it went online to see the evaluation.
<Immortal’s Banquet> V: Extra! Extra! The boss finally got up to work! This time, we developed three types of chili sauces, two types of hot pot base materials, and four types of dumplings with new fillings! Everyone applaud the boss, let him be proud for a second @Yu Antong (Picture) x9 (Link)

<Steamed Bun>: Although I didn’t get the most desired dumplings, I got the king trumpet mushroom meat sauce, the heaven-sent match for green vegetables and noodles!
<Pork in a Pot>: I was very happy to get the enoki mushroom meat sauce. I was obviously spending money, but I laughed as if I had picked them up instead.
<Little Fish isn’t Vegetarian>: Ahhh, there is a mandarin duck pot! Good news for people who can’t eat spicy food and are greedy, I want to confess my love for @Yu Antong!
<Beef Noodles>: I’d like to make a report to Xing-zong! Upstairs is trying to steal your wife!

<Milk Pudding>: I didn’t get it either, so don’t show off what you got, I’m so sour, I want to eat it too! (Grievance and tears.jpg)
<Lamp Shadow Beef>: I beg all the beauties and handsome guys in Jiangcheng, don’t compete with us outsiders, you still have a physical store, we can only shop online, save us some food.
<Mung Bean Cake>: Although you praised me, it is not easy for the locals in Jiangcheng. There is a queue in the store and a queue for takeaway. It is also difficult to eat a ready-made one, so we can only grab it online.
<Crispy Chicken>: For Immortal’s Banquet, there’s no love, all matters only rests on your hand speed!
