"I can't accept this. I don't think this is all I can get." Chef Li stood in the center of the venue with his hands clenched into fists. His hands were trembling slightly.
Chef Li was furious and dissatisfied. He glared at Yuan Zhou fiercely, but when he looked at the judges, his gaze was extremely serious and resolute.
Instantly, everyone's gaze was focused on Chef Li. The reporters also stopped whispering and took out their cameras to record this scene.
As for the seafood alliance, most of them were furious. That's right. They were also dissatisfied with this score.
This was especially true for Ao Pi. If it wasn't for Head Chef Zuo stopping him, he would have gone up to question Chef Li as well.
"Head Chef Li, the total score is not out yet," the host went up to smooth things over.
"No, it's already out." Zhou Shijie calmly said, "Just add a little more and it'll be out. Host, do you think I'm bad at math and can't even calculate this?"
"Eh …" The host choked. At the same time, he made up his mind not to accept cooking competitions in the future.
"Do you think it's easy for me to earn money as a host?" the host howled inwardly, but he still looked at Zhou Shijie calmly, waiting for him to speak.
"The seafood alliance scored a total of 20 points. Head Chef The Kitchen God scored a total of 70 points, full marks," Zhou Shijie reported.
Hearing this, the host exclaimed inwardly, "He clearly knew that Chef Li was dissatisfied with this score, yet he still said it was full marks. What a slap in the face."
Actually, this score did not need to be said. Everyone had already calculated it. It was indeed not difficult to calculate. Even a kindergartener who knew how to add and subtract would know the result, let alone Chef Li.
This was also what he was dissatisfied with. Their seafood alliance couldn't even get half of Yuan Zhou's score. This was no longer a problem of disparity. This was a huge chasm.
"Alright, then …"
"Judges!" Chef Li did not give up and called out again.
Hearing Chef Li's words, Zhou Shijie turned around and said sternly, "I don't think I have the obligation to explain my score to you."
Zhang Yan was also unyielding, "My score is worthy of my identity as a judge. Apart from that, I have nothing else to say."
"But …" Chef Li said with dissatisfaction.
However, he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence. The person who interrupted him was Bai Xiaoxiao.
"Head Chef Li, this judgment is very fair, because the three of you didn't get any points in the first place. The other dishes got two points purely out of friendship." Bai Xiaoxiao stated an even crueler truth. This was the reason why they had been discussing for so long.
Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie were in favor of seeking truth from facts. If the dishes were not delicious, they wouldn't get any points. Bai Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, felt that Chef Li and the others still cared about their reputation and should be given some points of friendship. Then, the few of them argued endlessly.
Hearing that, Chef Li was dumbfounded. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, nodded his head secretly. In his opinion, this was normal.
After all, these judges had eaten his dishes first and then Chef Li's dishes. If it was just for filling their stomachs, there was nothing to compare. However, if it was a competition of culinary skills, they should get no points.
Yuan Zhou was very confident in his cooking skills.
"No, this is impossible." Chef Li took a step back and found it a little hard to believe.
Chef Li looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiang. The two of them had promised to give the points to them. How could this happen? But looking at their serious faces, Chef Li was not sure if his cooking skills were really that bad or not.
"Humph," when Chef Li looked at Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan turned his face away coldly and ignored him.
"Head Chef Li, you cooked Spicy Crawling Prawns, right?" Wang Xiang sighed and said.
"Yes, Spicy Crawling Prawns." Chef Li nodded his head subconsciously.
Wang Xiang was about to say something when he saw Chef Li nod his head. However, Chef Li seemed to be enlightened and immediately said excitedly.
"You haven't even finished that guy's prawns. How can you say mine isn't delicious?" Chef Li pointed at the intact crawling prawns on the first plate and said loudly.
Everyone looked at him immediately. Indeed, there were two intact crawling prawns on each plate. The fiery red color was particularly eye-catching.
"See? That guy doesn't know how to cook seafood at all, let alone the Spicy Crawling Prawns. The prawns aren't flavorful at all, right?" Chef Li seemed to have found a breakthrough and became confident all of a sudden.
"That sounds right. He hasn't even eaten the prawns. How can he say the other guy's prawns are bad?" The same question flashed across the minds of the reporters at the same time.
"I knew this the moment I started cooking. I knew this person wanted to cook the same dishes as us. But I felt that he was just asking to be humiliated. We have been cooking seafood for so many years, but he …" Chef Li turned around and pointed at Yuan Zhou as he continued.
"There's no seafood in his restaurant at all. How can he possibly cook seafood?" Chef Li's tone became more and more certain as he spoke, as if he was trying to convince himself.
Chef Li spoke so fast that Wang Xiang didn't even have time to interrupt him.
Yuan Zhou, who was pointed at by someone, finally reacted. He looked at Chef Li indifferently.
"You don't agree?" Yuan Zhou said lightly, without a trace of anger.
"I don't agree!" Chef Li said fiercely.
"Oh, Chairman Zhou, Chairman Zhang, and the other two judges, Head Chef Li, don't agree with your scores," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
Yuan Zhou's words were very straightforward.
Chef Li stared at Yuan Zhou blankly. There was such a f * cking trick?
As Yuan Zhou had finished cooking first, he glanced at the seafood alliance's cooking skills with the corner of his eyes. They weren't out of practice, but they weren't proficient at it. Obviously, they were trying to make a last-minute effort.
Yuan Zhou hated this kind of people. Of course, since they were both chefs, he felt that he should explain it to them.
"It's normal that you don't understand. Anyway, with your cooking skills, you won't be able to understand how to cook the prawns," Yuan Zhou also explained straightforwardly.
It was unknown whether Yuan Zhou had some misunderstanding about straightforwardness.
"You!" Chef Li's face turned red and the veins on his neck were bulging. He was so angry that he was about to have a stroke.
At this moment, the host at the side stopped talking and pretended to be in the background.
"Head Chef Li, actually, Head Chef Yuan is right. Go and take a look at the so-called unfinished prawns," Wang Xiang's helpless voice sounded while Chef Li was panting.
"Take a look?" Chef Li was somewhat dumbfounded.
"Yes. Go and take a look and you will understand the difference between you two." When Wang Xiang looked at Chef Li, there was pity in his eyes. This pity also included the indignant chefs of the seafood alliance.
Indeed, these people still didn't know how they lost. Their cooking skills probably didn't improve at all. Oh, no, there was still room for improvement.
"Dadada, Dadada," Chef Li walked toward the judging platform. He had a bad premonition. Therefore, he walked very slowly.
