Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Surprise
Even if Ding Ruyun learned from her, she wouldn’t be angry.
Instead, at this occasion, Ding Ruyun choosing to learn from her indirectly proved that Ding Ruyun was not as good as her.
However, Ye Fei didn’t feel anything about it yet, Ding Ruyun looked at Ye Fei with eyes full of resentment.
Ding Ruyun just felt that Ye Fei was mocking her!
Ye Fei was just laughing at her!
Ding Ruyun’s eyes turned red and she glared fiercely at Ye Fei.
Xiao Mo, you just wait!
You’re not going to be smug for long.
Watch how I deal with you!
You have no chance to make it to the end of this competition!
I will definitely go farther than you!

The judges tasted all the way through and finally arrived at Ye Fei’s snack truck.
Ye Fei’s Japanese skewers didn’t have the strong flavors of Chinese barbecue.
The light charcoal flavor, coupled with the not-too-heavy seasoning, immediately felt much fresher.
Moreover, all the contestants on the field had already stopped cooking.
The previously strong flavors on the field gradually dispersed.
The flavor of Ye Fei’s skewers became gradually clearer, carrying a light plum scent and the aroma of grapefruit.
The judges tasted along the way and were actually almost full.
If Ye Fei’s dish wasn’t particularly outstanding, the judges might not have been able to taste anything special.
However now, smelling the grapefruit and plum aroma, it did open up the judges’ appetite a bit.
Gu Changfeng took a look and then asked, "How did you think of making these?"
"Since the theme was night market snacks, even the scene was made into a snack truck, with no seating set up, replicating the appearance of a night market snack street. So, after buying the snacks, customers don’t have a place to sit down and eat slowly." Ye Fei explained.
"I thought of making something convenient for customers to eat while holding, so I chose skewers. With bamboo skewers, customers can eat while holding them, without necessarily having to find a place to sit down."
Guo Wenbo nodded, picked up a chicken skin skewer.
He didn’t rush to eat but observed it first.
"The sauce is thickly coated on the chicken skin, paired with the collagen in the chicken skin itself, it’s quite tender." Guo Wenbo said, taking a bite, "The edges are crispy, but the middle is tender and has elasticity brought by the gelatin."
Gu Changfeng said excitedly, "There’s grapefruit flavor on the chicken skin. I thought you might add lemon."
"Lemon has a stronger aroma, but it might also overshadow more of the charcoal and barbecue sauce flavor itself. Grapefruit is sweet and sour with a fresh scent, but doesn’t have as strong a presence as lemon." Ye Fei explained.
"Which bowl is the grapefruit sauce?" Ye Huasong asked.
"This bowl," Ye Fei pointed to one of the bowls, then pointed to another bowl beside it and said, "This is the crushed plum, which I used to wrap inside the chicken leg meat."
"Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve had chicken leg skewers wrapped with crushed plum." Luo Jialin nodded and said, "Why did you think of using grapefruit sauce and crushed plum? This isn’t a conventional method."
"I thought, since there are many snacks today, and I noticed most are mainly fried or grilled, along with desserts. Butter is usually added to the crust of desserts, while the fillings mostly contain cream and cheese." Ye Fei explained, "Whether the customers have eaten them or just smelled them too much, it will affect their appetites. So I added appetite-stimulating plum and grapefruit sauce to this."
"However, I don’t want all the food to taste the same, but rather want each one to be different. So customers get a new experience with each bite."
