Chapter 580 Lemonade
The golden butter of the Harmony Crab dyes every grain of rice in the risotto a golden color, turning them into umami bombs.
Seasoned with saffron, allspice and rosemary, every bite brings you the ultimate enjoyment.
In fact, at this point in the competition, although the judges basically only took a small bite of each dish, they still felt full.
But even so, when Kawano Zhengming's Valencian and crab seafood risotto was served, many judges couldn't help but take a few more bites.
Unfortunately, one of the judges no longer had the qualifying card, so in the end, Kawano Zhengming only got 12 qualifying cards.
After Kawano Zhengming, six more chefs obtained more than four qualifying cards required to advance, and three others failed to complete the competition.
In the end, only 42 of the 105 chefs invited to participate entered the next round of competition.
This includes Qi Shanzhu, who also belongs to the group of contestants who handed in their homework relatively early. She got exactly 4 qualifying cards with a dessert of flame tofu ice cream.
In recent years, fusion cuisine has become very popular around the world, especially in Korea.
Fusion cuisine is about harmoniously combining various contrasting elements to create a stunning effect. It has a natural advantage in creativity and can attract attention.
Qi Shanzhu also admitted that the flame tofu ice cream still has a lot of room for improvement in terms of taste, but being able to enter the second round already means victory for her.
The contestants in the MasterChef competition are all chefs from various restaurants. In comparison, Qi Shanzhu, who has many side businesses, looks like a half-baked chef.
A jackal that strayed into a pack of wolves, she once called herself this self-deprecatingly when communicating with Malu.
But now she can finally feel proud, and she can give an explanation to her fans and viewers in her own words.
Considering the physical and mental exhaustion caused by concentrating on cooking for three consecutive hours, the organizing committee did not arrange a new competition in the afternoon.
Instead, the chefs are allowed to rest on their own in the hotel.
Malu had long wanted to try the hotel's constant-temperature infinity swimming pool, so he took Sun Mei, Qi Shanzhu and Kawano Zhengming to swim.
However, Kawano Zhengming said that he does not like group activities very much. In contrast, he still prefers to stay in his room by himself.
So in the end, Ma Lu, Sun Mei and Qi Shanzhu went swimming.
Malu, on the other hand, only went into the water and paddled around twice, and soon came ashore. Then he ordered a glass of lemonade and lay on the lounge chair by the swimming pool, concentrating on admiring the graceful curves of Qi Shanzhu's wet back.
His eyes kept following Qi Shanzhu, following the beautiful jumps and rises on her chest...
Occasionally, I would look at Sun Mei. Sun Mei was not bad either. She was always well covered, but unexpectedly, there was something unexpected.
The most important thing is that both women are very generous and don't deliberately cover up when swimming. This must be praised.
David stood by the swimming pool with a camera and said to Yu Yitong beside him.
"Boss, you can swim for a while if you want. Anyway, I see that Boss Ma is so excited right now that he probably won't be willing to go anywhere else."
"I'm not going."
"Go ahead, it's enough for me to watch over here," David said, patting his chest. "I guarantee that Boss Ma can't run away. I will follow him when he goes to the toilet."
"I'm not worried about him." Yu Yitong said lightly, "I'm worried about you. You can go take pictures of Qishanzhu as soon as I leave."
"Ah?" David was shocked when his thoughts were revealed, "How did you know?" "While I was standing here, you secretly took a lot of pictures of Qi Shanzhu swimming. If I leave, you Are you not allowed to take a photo of her?”
"Well, this... Mainly because I think it's not interesting to always pat the boss. He just keeps lying there drinking lemonade. It turns out that the users of our website don't like to see it. I do it for the sake of views."
David thought of something else and hurriedly added, "Of course, I think you are more beautiful, no worse than Qi Shanzhu. Hers are all artificial, unlike yours, which are all natural. I will give it to you even if you want to go into the water." Take more shots.”
"Do you know why you haven't been promoted after working for so long?"
"I... am too upright."
"No, you talk too much." Yu Yizhuo said, "I'm going to buy something to drink, what do you want to drink."
"I also want to drink the same lemonade made by Boss Ma. It seems delicious when he drinks it." David said.
"The budget has exceeded the standard. His cup costs 58 yuan, and the financial department will definitely not reimburse him. You should drink Master Kong lemon tea with me." Yu Yizhuo said.
"It's okay." David also felt that 58 for a glass of lemonade was too much, but he couldn't help it. That's how it is in a five-star hotel, and you drink in style.
At this moment, the waiter came over with a plate of lemonade.
Two of the cups were for Sun Mei and Qi Shanzhu, but the remaining two cups were delivered to Yu Yizhuo and David by the waiter.
"This is what the gentleman over there ordered for you two."
Hearing this, Yu Yitong looked in the direction of Malu, who raised the glass in his hand and shook it at them.
David glanced at Yu Yizhuo cautiously, who said, "Drink, Boss Ma must be given face. We have to take pictures of him in the next two days."
"Then I'm welcome." David took the glass of lemonade and asked curiously, "Boss, what is your relationship with Boss Ma?"
"The relationship between the interviewer and the interviewee." Yu Yizhuo happened to be thirsty, so he picked up a glass of lemonade and took a sip to moisten his throat.
"I mean before, you seemed to have graduated from the same school."
Yu Yizhuo paused for a moment, "Yes, but we didn't know each other in school."
"Then the relationship was established while you were studying abroad."
"You'd better go and take more pictures of Qishanzhu. I thought about what you said before, and it makes sense. Just take some pictures and keep them as material for later use."
"Really?" When David heard that he could film Qi Shanzhu, he immediately forgot about the relationship between Ma Lu and Yu Yizhuo, and rushed over happily with the camera on his shoulder.
After pushing David away, Yu Yizhuo could finally be quiet for a while. She sat down by the flower bed and saw a few more girls running up to Malu, asking for his autograph.
Although the Universe Infinite Canteen has not been open for a long time, it has reached its peak since its debut, and its traffic has been booming. Coupled with the guest host in the morning and the magical grilled buns, Ma Lu has become a fan.
Not only the amateurs on the public jury, but also many chefs took the initiative to say hello to him after the first round of competition.
This is also one of the hidden rewards of the competition. In addition to the bonus, it will also bring a lot of fame to the contestants, although Yu Yizhuo doesn't think Ma Lu lacks this fame.
But the guy obviously enjoyed the moment.
