After that, the staff member went forward to explain the rules to her very responsibly. This competition used a scoring system. The theme of cooking was randomly selected, and then the ingredients provided by the competition were used to make dishes that matched the theme.
The one with the highest score wins, and the game is decided in one round.
Half an hour later, the competition began. With the sound of the gong at the front stage, He Jing was led out by the staff and stood at the side of the stage. A handsome young host on the stage said in a passionate tone.
“Let me introduce the heavyweight chef of this competition, Head Chef Wang.
Welcome!”
The audience cheered and clapped.
Obviously, this host was very skilled at keeping people in suspense. Before Head Chef Wang appeared, he introduced a long list of his glorious achievements and lifetime accomplishments, making the audience and media yearn for him.
When it was He Jing’s turn, the host looked at the information card, and the atmosphere noticeably stiffened for a moment. He Jing’s achievements on the information card were o, her cooking experience was o, and even her time spent in the culinary profession was o.
The host thought, “F*ck, what the hell!”
However, his professionalism made him calm. He quickly sorted out his emotions and said in an excited tone as if he had won a five-million-dollar lottery, “Next, let’s welcome the new generation chef of Zhou’s Restaurant, Miss He Jing!”
The spotlight fell on He Jing. The slender and petite girl seemed out of place in the entire scene.
For two seconds, the surroundings fell silent for no reason.
The host’s smile froze on his face for an instant.
The host thought, “Was this really not a joke? To pit an eighteen-year-old girl against a top chef who had been in the culinary industry for twenty years. What else was there to compete in?”
Without exception, the audience who had bought tickets to enter the venue thought the same. In less than ten seconds, whispers broke out in the audience.
“No wonder the ticket price is so cheap. This is too much of a scam.”
“Is it possible that the head chef of Zhou’s Restaurant ran away at the last minute, and the owner of Zhou’s Restaurant had no choice but to pull someone in randomly?”
“This is a joke. I’m not watching anymore. Refund my money!”
The chefs of Prosperous Restaurant were delighted and gloated, “Zhou’s Restaurant is really out of people. With such a person, we will definitely win this competition.”
Seeing that the situation wasn’t looking good, the host quickly came to the rescue. He announced the rules of the competition loudly and then hurriedly said, “Now, let’s draw the cooking theme of this competition. Please look at the big screen.”
Finally, he managed to shift the audience’s attention away.
Countless topics related to food jumped on the LED screen suspended in the air. The moment he shouted the word “stop,” two words froze on the screen.
Young chicken.
The chefs of Prosperous Restaurant focused their attention and almost laughed to death. “We’re going to win for sure. Our Head Chef Wang is the best at cooking chicken. ”
Young chickens were chicks that were less than a few months old. Their meat was tender and had a lot of protein. Although the cooking method was simple, it was quite challenging to cook them to a high standard.
However, for Head Chef Wang, who had 20 years of experience, it’s a piece of cake. He Jing might not even be able to pluck chicken feathers.
From the moment He Jing appeared on stage, the host felt that it was impossible for He Jing to win. He quickly led the crowd and said, “The topic of this competition is young chicken. Sigh, it’s such a difficult theme. I don’t think it’ll be easy for Miss He Jing to win…”
As he spoke, he looked at He Jing. He noticed that He Jing’s eyes were downcast, her face devoid of any expression. It was as if her mind wasn’t on the
game at all.
When it was time to choose the ingredients, He Jing and Head Chef Wang walked to the ingredients table in the center of the venue. There was an array of vegetables and meats on the ingredients table, a feast for the eyes.
The young chickens were placed on crushed ice to maintain freshness. Head Chef Wang quickly and accurately picked the largest one. He Jing’s gaze slowly wandered around and finally reached out to one of them….
