Universe Infinite Canteen

The public jury watching the scoring scene was unhappy.

It was obvious that the last four judges had never tasted the dish, but they all gave it 5 points. The shady deal was too obvious.

So the audience all complained for Qi Shanzhu, who ranked last.

As a representative of the judges, Olette Huppert first explained why Qi Shanzhu's dish only got 3 points.

"Chef Qi Shanzhu's dish is very innovative and the taste is well balanced. However, the coconut as the theme is not prominent enough and is overwhelmed by the taste of red snapper and even fennel.

"After all, this competition is a theme creation. If it is out of the theme, no matter how good the taste is, it is difficult to give a high score.

"As for why Chef Malu got full marks again, it is because his dish is unique and interprets the theme with smell. It not only sticks to the theme, but also has overwhelming advantages in creativity and skills."

Although Sun He said something like deliciousness is the most important thing, the Malu dish strictly speaking does not provide food.

But the smell alone reminded the judges of the food they had eaten before, deceiving their brains and providing the illusion that they were eating.

This is why the four judges finally decided to give him full marks.

Moreover, this dish is extremely difficult. Malu has reproduced the aroma of the dishes of the other five opponents by himself, and has also found a way to seal these aromas. No wonder he has been dragging his feet until the last one to submit his work.

This courage and confidence also forced the judges to give full marks.

They all wanted to see what kind of surprises Malu could bring next.

As the commotion on the scene was quelled, Qi Shanzhu also left the cooking table.

However, she did not return to the room, but chose to stay in the banquet hall to continue watching the next game.

Without a break, the remaining five chefs entered the third round of the showdown.

The director deliberately gave each chef a close-up, but except for Malu, the other four frowned.

On-site creation is very mentally and physically demanding, and the organizing committee has come up with a very strange theme this time, and only two hours are given in total.

It can be said that everyone has been in a sprint mode since the beginning of the competition.

Not only do they keep their hands busy, but they also have to keep their brains running when the judges are commenting in the middle, thinking hard about what to do in the next round, and they can't relax for a moment.

Under such terrible pressure, it is easy to feel tired.

When the second round was about to end, Fan Yixin was already sweating, and felt that it was more tiring than cooking all day.

When the third round started, she wanted to take the knife, but she almost didn't hold it firmly and let the knife fall to the ground.

Other contestants were not much better. Luo Junkang, who was known for his stability, made mistakes during the cooking process, and he made mistakes twice in a row.

Kawano Zhengming missed the ingredients and had to run to the ingredient area again, wasting the little time he had.

Only Sun Mei and Ma Lu remained stable.

Although Sun He did not serve as a judge to avoid suspicion, he also came to watch the competition today. After the first, second and third place are decided, he will be responsible for awarding the prizes.

Qiu Lele on the side said, "Is it my illusion? It seems that Xiaomei's cooking skills have improved again.

"Although she used to cook very well, she seemed to be imitating you everywhere, just like a replica of you.

"Now I can still see your shadow in her, but more of it is the part of 'Chef Sun Mei'. She is calmer and more self-consistent than then.

"The Ends of the Earth is her silent declaration to you."

Sun He snorted, "She has always had a good talent in cooking, even better than when I was young, so I don't agree with her painting. This is a complete waste of talent.

"He obviously had what all chefs dream of, but he didn't cherish it. He was young and squandered it. He looked down on everyone.

"He shouted freedom and passion, and went abroad, but in the end, he didn't make any decent career after so many years. He was just fooling around."

"But..." Qiu Lele said carefully, "Although Xiaomei was always winning at that time, she did look very tormented.

"People should still do things that make them happy. You should also hope that she can live a happy life."

Sun He was silent for a long time and sighed, "If she really doesn't like cooking at all, how can she make dishes like "The End of the Earth" and why did she agree to return to China to participate in the competition?"

"Didn't you call her back through Uncle Sun? Xiao Mei thinks that as long as she wins this competition, according to the agreement, she can repay your kindness in teaching her art and continue to do what she likes."

"But you see that she is so focused now. Is it really just for the agreement with me?"

"…………"

Sun Mei is no longer paying attention to what is happening in the outside world. She is just cooking the food in front of her wholeheartedly.

This time she plans to make duck breasts, and the ducks she chooses are Jiaji ducks from Hainan.

This kind of duck is fed with fish and shrimps in the early stage, and then caged and stuffed. The ducks raised in this way have thick meat and are very suitable for frying and roasting.

Sun Mei took out the prepared duck breasts and cut off a few pieces of duck fat to cook the morels, potatoes and onions as side dishes.

When the final product was served, the four judges were stunned.

Gaggan Anand even turned it over with a fork, but couldn't find any coconut-related elements in this dish.

"Chef Sun Mei, did you forget something?" Rocky Chen reminded, "Your duck breast doesn't seem to have sauce."

Sun Mei said, "I didn't forget, this dish doesn't have sauce."

"But in this case, doesn't it mean that coconut is completely useless?" Olette Huppert said, "You fried the duck very well, but please don't forget that our competition is based on coconut."

"I didn't forget." Sun Mei said calmly, "You will know after you have eaten it."

The four judges looked at each other, then picked up their knives and forks, cut off a piece of duck meat, and put it in their mouths.

Yoneda Hajime was surprised, "Wait, this coconut fragrance... is smoked, did you use smoke to process this piece of duck breast?"

Sun Mei nodded, "Yes, I used coconut shells as fuel to smoke the duck breast."

"But you only took less than 15 minutes to make this dish, this time is not enough to smoke it into the flavor." Gaggan Anand frowned.

"It's really not enough, so I was processing this piece of duck breast when I was making the first dish."

"Huh?"

"Huh?!"

As soon as Sun Mei said this, the four judges and the audience were shocked.

I thought, isn't this equivalent to admitting that I violated the rules? Continuing to cook after the timer is over is not allowed in the competition.

As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Sun Mei explained, "I didn't violate the rules. The rules were very clear from the beginning. After the timer was taken, you can't touch any kitchen utensils, not that you can't do any cooking.

"For this reason, I also specifically asked the staff and did it after getting permission. "
