Chapter 599 Final Round


Chapter 599 The Final Round

The four judges discussed for about five minutes, during which there seemed to be some disputes, but fortunately, a consensus was reached in the end.

The final result was announced by team leader Gaggan Anand.

"Congratulations to Chef Sun Mei, you can stay and continue to participate in the next competition."

After speaking, he looked at Luo Junkang again, "Chef Luo Junkang, after our discussion, we feel that your loofah tea dumplings are impeccable in terms of taste, and the idea of ​​incorporating shredded coconut into the tea dumplings is also very interesting.

“We achieved the effect of only smelling the fragrance of coconut but not seeing the coconut meat, but similar ideas have been done by contestants before, so the surprise to us is not that strong.

"In addition, in terms of visual effects and originality, "Night in a Foreign Land" has to be better than Luffa Tea, so after discussion, we decided to let Chef Sun Mei advance."

"Okay," Luo Junkang's expression remained unchanged and he nodded, "I don't have time anymore. To be honest, even if I enter the next round, I can only give away people's heads."

"Oh, and please don't leave the banquet hall for the time being. There will be an award ceremony for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners after the competition." The female host on the side reminded.

As Luo Junkang stepped off the cooking table, the competition finally reached the final stage.

Only two contestants, Sun Mei and Ma Lu, were left, and the remaining time on their timers was 28 minutes and 12 seconds, and... 4 minutes and 43 seconds.

The gap is huge.

Normally, Sun Mei should have already secured the victory.

However, her opponent was the monster-like Malu who got perfect scores for 5 consecutive rounds.

Not to mention 4 minutes and 43 seconds, even if there were only 60 seconds left, Sun Mei would not feel safe.

But for now, her strategy did have an effect. She got through the fourth and fifth rounds without any danger. In the final battle, she had nearly half an hour to cook.

And she had already prepared for the decisive battle.

However, after the game started, Sun Mei suddenly stayed where he was, motionless.

"Hey, what happened to Xiaomei?" Qiu Lele asked strangely.

"Why hasn't she started yet? I saw that in the second round, she put three pots on the fire to stew something. Now she only uses one pot, and there are two pots left untouched. She should be ready for the last dish, right? .”

"She was shaken." Sun He said lightly.

Seeing that Qiu Lele was a little puzzled, Sun He explained, "I watched her grow up. She has been hailed as a genius since she was a child. Her cooking talent is amazing. She has been going smoothly along the way, with almost no encounters. What opponent can rival her?

“So I am becoming more and more arrogant and have absolute confidence in my cooking skills and the path I have chosen. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

"After all, if a person cannot believe in his own choices, it will be difficult for him to persevere and continue to improve, and he will fall into constant internal friction."

"But this self-confidence also prevents her from exploring more possibilities. The more games she wins and the accolades she receives, the more narrow her vision becomes."

"As a result, this time, she met a truly powerful opponent. The opponent's overwhelming skills and understanding of ingredients were clearly superior to hers, which had an unprecedented impact on her.

"The impact was so powerful that she doubted the path she had always chosen."

"Looking at the current situation, she no longer believes that the dish she is going to cook next can beat her opponent," Sun He said. "That's why she just stands there now, in a dilemma."

While the two were talking, Malu had already taken a photo of the timer and finished cooking.

He had prepared this dish a long time ago, and now he was just finishing it, so it went very quickly.

After taking the timer, Boss Ma was already thinking about how to spend the bonus. 3 million is not much for him now, especially since he has to pay taxes, but no one would find too much money.

Well, some people may say they don’t care about money, but if you don’t let them make money, they will definitely be in a hurry with you.

Ma Lu plans to buy himself a TV after receiving the championship bonus. He has taken a fancy to Samsung's 115-inch flagship MicroLED TV these days.

It’s not expensive, it’s only 1 million, and you’ll still have 1.4 million left after buying it. It was at this moment that he noticed Sun Mei, who was motionless on the opposite side.

It's been five minutes since the game started, and Sun Mei hasn't started cooking yet.

She just frowned and stood there, with an uncertain expression on her face.

Malu couldn't help but be curious. He turned to ask the staff aside, "Can players talk during the game?"

"Huh?" The staff never expected that someone would have such a strange request.

He said to himself, brother, the competition is going on, and it’s the final round. Can you be a little more serious?

But before he could answer, Ma Lu already said to himself, "It should be possible. I talked to other contestants on the first day, and even worked with your female host."

"Chef Malu, please wait a moment, I'll ask the superiors for instructions." The staff member said, wiping the cold sweat from his head.

"Then hurry up, time is still running out." Malu urged.

"Okay."

The staff member took out his mobile phone and replied half a minute later, "I asked, and there are indeed no restrictions in this regard, but... eh."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Lu had already stepped towards Sun Mei who was opposite.

Sun Mei looked a little strange at this time. He lost his previous pride and confidence, his eyes were scattered, his cheeks were slightly red, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

He was still muttering, "No, it's not enough, it's not enough! There must be some way!"

It wasn't until he was patted on the shoulder that Sun Mei finally broke free from this confused state.

Then she saw a face very close to her own.

"Hey, it's a competition, cheer up!"

"Ha," Sun Mei exhaled slightly, "Why is it you?"

"I don't know what you think of me, but after getting along with you for so many days, I have regarded you as a friend. If my friend encounters difficulties, I will definitely come and take a look." Ma Lu said.

"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about why you can come to me."

"I asked the staff and they said this is not a violation." Ma Lu said, "You know me, I like to wander around."

"Is your dish done?"

"It's done." Ma Lu said, and then asked, "Where's yours?"

"I'm in some trouble," Sun Mei didn't hide it, "I don't know what to do."

"Then do you want to listen to my advice?"

"Say it."

"Just cook what you like best."

"Are you kidding? If I like fried chicken, should I make some fried chicken and serve it?"

"Why not, you can't beat me anyway, just cook something that makes you happy. You see Master Luo is very happy making tea. He tried it for a while, but finally found that this thing is the best. .”
