I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3467 Identity
"...My choice is Xiang En's dish, three flavors of puffer fish." Linton's voice was clearly heard by everyone. Xiang En clenched his fist fiercely, and he was indeed the winner.

Liu Maoxing was stunned for a moment, and did not say anything immediately, but looked straight at Linton. This look clearly wanted Linton to explain why he lost.

Looking at Liu Maoxing's expression, Linton said that he still needed to explain. Fortunately, he had already thought of an excuse.

Yes, just when the two of them were arguing over the theory, Linton suddenly figured it out. This so-called food review is no longer about the food.

Both Fubuki and Aizen had already told Linton that the overall level of their cooking was actually similar. Just talking about the issue of food delivery was enough to make them evenly matched, so it didn't matter who he chose.

At this point, I might as well just give up on this aspect, since I am not really good at evaluating food anyway. When it comes to ingredients, seasoning, and cooking methods, I actually don’t know anything and I don’t understand anything at all.

Since both of them had already reached the level of cooking concepts, Linton followed their words and started talking about concepts.

Because Linton is good at this.

Isn't this just a contest of eloquence? Linton is best at eloquence. He can curse a few people to death, or even a few gods to death. It's just nonsense, who can't do it?

As long as he didn't talk about cooking, Linton was a good talker.

"To be honest, if we follow Fubuki's idea and only consider the taste of these two dishes, it is indeed difficult to tell which one is better." Linton said, "It is difficult for me to judge which one is better based on the taste. It is really too difficult to decide. But I have thought about it seriously. Now it is the final battle. If I just declare a draw or something like that, it will obviously be irresponsible to the whole game tonight. We need a final winner here."

Linton's few words skipped over the part he was not good at, and he did not discuss the taste at all, just saying that they were equally good. At least in the eyes of others, these words were to highlight the key points later. Everyone wanted to know why Linton finally chose Xiang En's cuisine, so naturally they would not pay too much attention to Linton's words that he skipped over.

"Then based on this, why did I choose Xiang En's cooking in the end?" Although Linton asked a question, he quickly answered it himself, "That's because in my opinion, Xiang En's cooking has a part that you, Little Chef, haven't done."

Liu Maoxing didn't care about the title of Little Master at this time. He was still very serious about the victory this time. He really didn't expect that he would lose. Now he really didn't know why he lost, so he immediately asked: "What part did you not do? What is it?"

"That is... my identity." Linton said.

"Hey? What do you mean?" Liu Maoxing was stunned when he heard this, but he obviously didn't understand what Linton meant. Let alone him, Xiang En himself didn't understand it, okay?
Of course, Xiang En didn't understand, but she was not stupid enough to ask like Liu Maoxing. Anyway, Linton chose her, so she couldn't question Linton's choice, right?

"What is my identity?" Linton asked Liu Maoxing directly.

"Yes... Your Majesty." Liu Maoxing thought for a moment and replied.

"That's right. Although I am sitting on the judges' seat now, my official position is the emperor. Not only me, but also the people sitting here, including the queen, the royal family, and the executive vice emperor..." Speaking of the executive vice emperor, the others couldn't help but look at Aizen here. I have to say that this position is really too awkward, it's really unheard of, okay? Don't you, the emperor, find it strange?

"So in my current identity, I can only make this choice in the end," Linton said.

"Huh?" Liu Maoxing obviously still didn't understand what Linton meant, and looked at Linton in surprise and confusion. What does it mean that as an emperor, he can only choose Xiang En's cuisine? I really don't understand what this means.

"Have you ever heard of the proverb that goes, 'If the leader is good, the subordinates will be even better.'" Linton said, "I am the emperor, and there are thousands of people who want to please me. Whenever there is a chance, someone will choose to try this path, just to get into my eyes."

"Have you heard of the Huashi Gang? It is said that the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty was very fond of strange mountains and rocks. Knowing the emperor's preferences, the ministers began to collect various strange mountains and rocks, in order to present a piece of strange stone to attract the emperor's attention and enter the emperor's eyes."

"The ministers wanted to collect these strange stones, and their subordinates would naturally try to please their masters. As a result, strange rocks from all over the country gathered crazily in Bianliang City, and the escort teams that transported these strange rocks were called Hua Shi Gang."

"I give this example to tell you that if you make a choice based on my identity, it will have great consequences," Linton said in one breath.

Liu Maoxing listened carefully, but after thinking for a while he asked, "But..."

"Do you think my example has nothing to do with today's cooking duel?" Linton said before the other party finished speaking.

"I... didn't expect it." Liu Maoxing said.

"I asked Xiang En to cook a fish. What did she do? The fish meat was made into sashimi, the fish skin was made into fish jelly, and the fish bones were made into fried food. For this dish, she just processed each part of the fish in the most appropriate way." Linton said.

"On the other hand, you made five kinds of high-quality soups, which must have used a lot of ingredients. But the purpose of these five soups is just to simmer the fish. It is true that this secret method does remove the earthy smell of the eel meat while increasing the flavor. There is nothing wrong with this from the perspective of completing the dish, but have you really thought about the consequences if I choose your dish?"

Without waiting for Liu Maoxing to answer, Linton continued, "If I really choose you, I estimate that soon someone will study six-layer soup, seven-layer soup... ten-layer soup, hundred-layer soup. I am not exaggerating. As long as this path is feasible, there will always be people who can go to the extreme and become a demon. They will not care whether it will be effective after a few more layers, or whether they can add any more flavor, because what they value is not the food itself, but my attention."

Linton's words made Liu Maoxing feel dizzy, and he seemed to understand what Linton meant.

"So do you understand? Based on my identity, my final choice can only be Xiang En's cooking." Linton said solemnly.
