As soon as the whole fungus was taken out of the pot, there was a strong aroma of vegetables that floated into the distance. Everyone was amazed.
At this moment, the judges came to the judges' table with the fungus in hand. After smelling it, the judges couldn't help but half-squinted their eyes and smelled it carefully.
“It smells so good!”
"What does this smell like? It's so fragrant!"
"Hmm! Not bad, it really smells good."
Listening to these comments, Zhu Dachang showed a proud smile on his face. He thought the judges were praising the aroma of the dishes.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but boast to Fang Xiaoyu beside him: "Boy, your dish is submitted for review right next to mine. This is not a good thing! I'm afraid you will be in bad luck next time. Did you hear that?
Everyone in the audience is praising the deliciousness of my dishes. You are just waiting to be eliminated in this round!"
"Oh! How do I feel that someone is praising the fragrance of the vegetables in my hands?" Fang Xiaoyu replied with a smile.
"Fuck you! Just now you said it smells good because you used sesame oil. But now, what others smell is not the fragrance of sesame oil. The judges said it smells good because they praised the smell of the bowl of crispy pork ribs in my hand.
.Ha ha!"
Zhu Dachang answered with a proud smile while holding the plate, and came to the judges' table with the plate.
Under the guidance of the etiquette lady, he brought the plate of crispy pork ribs to the judges' seat, eyes widened, waiting for the judges' comments.
Fang Xiaoyu also stood behind Zhu Dachang with a cold fungus.
His eyes were fixed on Sesame Queen Min Hui, and Min Hui naturally saw him.
Although the beauty felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, she still smiled and nodded towards Fang Xiaoyu, which was regarded as a secret greeting to him.
Fang Xiaoyu also smiled and nodded towards this beauty.
At this moment, Zhu Dachang happened to see Queen Sesame nodding and smiling.
He thought Queen Sesame was smiling at him, so he forced out a smile and nodded towards Queen Sesame.
However, Queen Sesame didn't look at him seriously at all, which made Zhu Dachang very embarrassed.
He turned his head inadvertently and saw that Fang Xiaoyu was flirting with Queen Sesame. He was immediately puzzled. He couldn't help but asked himself in a low voice: "Here, what kind of luck did this kid get? Queen Sesame is...
How could the vice-president of the Food Association flirt with him?"
Just when he was doubtful, he suddenly heard waves of praise coming from the judges in front.
"Hmm! It smells so good!"
“It smells really good.”
“It smells so good!”
Hearing the praises from several judges, Zhu Dachang had a sweet smile on his face. He thought the judges were praising his crispy pork ribs for being well done, and he felt very happy for a moment.
He pretended to be humble and nodded to the five judges, then added with a smile: "This crispy pork ribs is indeed fragrant. It is a delicacy that relies on fragrance..."
Zhu Dachang thought the judges were praising his crispy pork ribs, and was preparing to perform well.
But at this moment, he saw a judge who coldly replied to him: "I'm not talking about the flavor of your dish. The pork ribs don't taste like this."
"This..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Dachang's face turned green and red. After a while, he awkwardly asked the judges: "Then how many points can I get for my dish?"
The judge's face immediately turned gloomy, and he glared at him angrily and said, "This is not a problem you should be concerned about. I will naturally announce the score later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another judge on the table holding up a sign with a score of 7.3 written on it.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhu Dachang's face when he saw the score, and he couldn't help but ask the judge: "That's not right! My food is so good, it's impossible to only give it such a small score! Are you making a mistake?
Already?"
"Okay, you can go down and wait for the results." The judge replied calmly.
Zhu Dachang swallowed and wanted to say something, but couldn't, so he could only stand there motionless.
At this time, the other three or four judges also showed their score cards, which were 8.1 points, 8.2 points and 7.9 points respectively. One judge even scored 6.9 points.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Zhu Dachang's face. Obviously, this result was not ideal. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was definitely no problem to enter the second round, and he felt a lot relieved.
He nodded to the judges with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, judges, for your hard work."
After saying that, he raised his face proudly and prepared to walk out.
Just when he passed by Fang Xiaoyu, he saw Fang Xiaoyu holding a plate in his hand and walking towards the judges.
Zhu Dachang smiled coldly, glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and said: "Boy, the judges this time are stricter, and I just barely passed. However, there will definitely be something to gain by entering the second round of semi-finals. It seems that you are in trouble.
Now, if you want to enter the second round, I’m afraid you’ll have to work hard. Haha!”
"Really?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled disapprovingly and said, "We'd better listen to the judges! Just talking is useless."
"Hmph! Boy, don't be too happy. I really won't leave. I will wait for you here and broadcast live how the judges will rate you." Zhu Dachang said with a proud smile.
Fang Xiaoyu just smiled and ignored it. He came to the judges' seat with the top-quality fungus made by holy dragon water and placed the fungus on the table.
When the plate of holy water and the best fungus was placed in front of the judges, the judges on the stage couldn't help but praise it from the bottom of their hearts.
"Smells! It smells so good."
"This fungus is well cooked. Not only is it delicious, but it's also very fragrant. I think it tastes good too. I'll pay for it in advance!"
"Yeah, it's good. The fungus tastes really good."
“It’s so delicious, I give it full marks.”
"I also give full marks."
After the judges tried the fungus that Fang Xiaoyu submitted for review, they all screamed excitedly, and two judges showed their perfect score signs on the spot.
Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed across Queen Sesame's face. She very calmly showed up the scoreboard in her hand, which read 10 points.
Fang Xiaoyu was full of confidence, but what he didn't expect was that the other two judges only gave 9.5 and 9.6 points.
Seeing that the score was suddenly lowered, a hint of displeasure and confusion flashed across Queen Sesame's face.
However, this is only the group stage, and the two judges gave him a lower score in the first round, which doesn’t have much impact. Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoyu’s face showed a smile.
Zhu Dachang's expression on the side was not very good.
When he saw that Fang Xiaoyu had three judges giving perfect scores, he ran over angrily and started arguing with several judges.
"Why do you give this kid a perfect score? Why can't you give me a perfect score? I'm a famous chef. This guy can't even hold a knife. Why can he get a perfect score?"
"Because your food looks good or not," the judge explained disdainfully.
"What? You said my food is not delicious?" Zhu Dachang was so angry that his hands rattled.
Queen Sesame smiled and replied: "Yes, your dish is indeed much worse than this gentleman's cold fungus, so we can't give it full marks."
This was obviously meant for Fang Xiaoyu. (To be continued)
