Chapter 587 Promotion
As the countdown on the big screen reached zero, the female host immediately announced the end of the second round.
After this, even if you receive snack coupons, they will not count. Then the staff began to count the snack coupons that the chefs received in this round of competition.
At this time, Cui Junxian felt that his mind was blank and he was staring at the remaining half plate of fried rice cakes in front of him.
He simply couldn't accept what was happening in front of him.
He actually lost!
The most important thing is that he still fell in the second round. You must know that he came to this Master of Chef competition with the aura of being the youngest three-star chef in South Korea and the close disciple of Ferran Adria.
They also plan to use the excitement of winning the championship to open another branch restaurant in Shanghai.
In the end, it’s okay to lose. It’s such an ugly loss. Not only will the plan to open a new restaurant be shelved, but the business of the old restaurant Wing is also expected to be affected.
The per-capita price of wing is as high as 460,000 won, which is still very expensive even on Myeongdong Street where land is at a premium.
The reason why Cui Junxian dares to charge such a high price is not only that the food he makes is delicious, but also closely related to his personal experience and reputation over the years.
Thinking of this, Cui Junxian couldn't help but punched the cooking table, startling the staff who were counting votes.
But in the end, the staff member dutifully counted the snack coupons in the basket.
"There are 96 pictures in total. Unfortunately, Chef Cui Junxian, you did not pass this round."
The official simultaneous interpreter passed the news to Cui Junxian.
Cui Junxian wanted to give himself a slap now, why did he go to find Malu in the middle.
Because if he hadn't gone to Malu, he wouldn't have spent 4 snack coupons to buy four pork chops and rice cakes from the latter in order to prove that his pork chops and rice cakes were better than those made by Malu.
The irony is that he is now just four tickets away from promotion.
Assi!
…………
Malu was the last person to qualify.
There is no other reason, it is simply because he has too many snack coupons in his hand, so the staff took the longest to count them.
He confirmed it twice before finally announcing that he had received a total of 317 snack coupons in this round.
After this result was revealed, the whole audience was in an uproar again.
The main reason is that these snack coupons were obtained at a discount. In previous games, everyone saw Ma Lu's hand speed and his multi-line operation ability, and also knew that he received a lot of snack coupons.
But it's only now that we have a more intuitive understanding of his hand speed.
In addition to Ma Lu, the person who successfully advanced this time was Kawano Zhengming. He was making tempura from beginning to end. With a variety of tempura, he finally got 100 snack coupons.
In addition, after Luo Junkang's seafood lion heads were copied by Malu, he also quickly adjusted the menu. While selling the remaining seafood lion heads, he developed new snacks and successfully advanced to the final ten minutes before the last minute.
Sun Mei relies on the unique snacks of ethnic minorities. Although the traffic volume has never been as good as the most popular stalls, it has a stable customer base and has no competing products, so it successfully passed this round of competition.
Master Luang Po Sen still insists on making vegetarian food this time, mainly vegetables and fruits. It seems a bit unattractive among other snacks, but surprisingly it sells well.
This is mainly because the public judges have 5 snack coupons in their hands. After eating various combinations of carbohydrates and fats, many people are a little resistant to meat and fried food.
At this time, a vegetable bowl is very refreshing and nutritionally balanced. Therefore, in the second half of the competition, Master Luang Po Sen’s vegetable bowls became more and more popular. However, as the oldest of all contestants, Master Luang Po Sen’s physical strength was not as good as other chefs.
After making about 50 servings, he got a little tired and the speed slowed down. It is said that his restaurant has been open and closed over the years. Even when it opened, he received no more than 20 guests a day.
In the end, Master Luang Po Sen still failed to make one hundred vegetable bowls within the specified time and could not enter the next round.
He seemed very calm about this.
He put his hands together, thanked the staff and the diners who patronized the food stall, and then went back to his room to rest with the support of his disciples.
As for the biggest upset this time, apart from Cui Junxian being eliminated, it was Qi Shanzhu, the "Internet celebrity chef", who actually passed five levels and defeated six generals, all the way to the final round.
With her fried fish cakes, she easily collected 100 snack coupons half an hour ago, and was the first among all the chefs to advance.
In addition to the chefs and Malu mentioned above, two other chefs also passed this round of competition, respectively from Thailand and Singapore.
In the end, only 7 people entered the third round, which is the fewest in all previous MasterChef competitions.
After the game, Malu was also ready to go back to his room to rest.
David wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yu Yizhu, "Forget it, there's nothing to take pictures of. Let him rest for a while, and let's take a rest too. There will be a big battle tomorrow."
David was a little strange, "Didn't you tell me, Boss, that our job these three days is to follow Boss Ma closely? We will go wherever he goes. Even if we are disliked or driven away, we must continue to follow him shamelessly?"< br>
"Have I ever said such a thing?" Yu Yizhuo was startled, "Well, but the shooting should not affect the players' rest.
"After all, only if he wins the MasterChef competition can our filming and interviews be of maximum value."
"Don't tell me, I think the probability of Boss Ma winning the title of Chef God is quite high." David said excitedly.
“Most of the champions in the previous 30+ MasterChef competitions came from Europe and the United States. Only Japan has produced a MasterChef in Asia, although this has something to do with the judges’ preference.
"And our country's chefs have only participated in the last four competitions, but if Boss Ma can win the championship, he should be able to shut up some people."
"Let's take it one step at a time. It's too far away to consider the World Championship now," Yu Yizhuo said.
Malu returned to the room, took off his chef uniform, and placed the mini Lao Wang on the coffee table, while his right hand was still trembling.
Although the competition time of this round was only half of the previous round, the intensity was several times higher. Yesterday, Ma Lu was busy for only half an hour after fully calculating.
But today, it was a full 90 minutes of high-intensity fucking. Even if Lao Wang was controlling it, the hand was still Malu's own after all.
Boss Ma used to fish in restaurants every day and had never used his hands with such high intensity, so he felt a little cramped after the game.
This is why he didn't even care about pretending and went back to the room directly.
Otherwise, no matter how busy he is, he still has to be in front of Cui Junxian to teach him step by step how to make delicious pork chop rice cakes.
But it was worth sending Cui Junxian away in the second round. That guy will probably have nightmares for several nights after returning home.
