"This kid is both calm and arrogant, just like me when I was young," Zhou Shijie said to Zhang Yan with a smile.
"Arrogant like you, calm like me," Zhang Yan bragged shamelessly.
"You're wrong." Zhou Shijie rolled his eyes at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan looked at Yuan Zhou with a satisfied expression. At the same time, he was thinking about his vice president's daughter.
On the other side, Chef Li finally walked to the judging table and faced the prawn shell on the plate.
The prawns on the plate were neatly arranged. This was the plate that Zhang Yan had eaten on. Chef Li didn't notice anything at first. He only noticed it after taking a closer look.
"Why is this prawn leg so intact? There's no meat in it? "Chef Li was shocked.
"Do you understand?" Wang Xiang's voice came from the judging table.
"The prawns were finished long ago. That's the shell. It's easy to peel without losing the freshness of the prawn. The spiciness of the prawn meat also contained the freshness and sweetness of the prawn meat. Not only did you taste the freshness, but you also tasted the spiciness of Sichuan Cuisine. This is how Sichuan Cuisine seafood should be," Zhang Yan said.
"No, how is that possible?" Zhang Yan's words made Chef Li freeze on the spot.
No, it should be said that all the chefs of the seafood alliance were frozen on the spot. Head Chef Zuo, the only one who was slightly sober, looked at Yuan Zhou with a complicated expression.
Is this kid born to attack people? Head Chef Zuo sighed in his heart.
He is still so young after all, Head Chef Zuo thought.
"Head Chef Li, look at the leftover food of the two of you," Wang Xiang sighed in his heart, but he still said seriously.
Among the four judges, Wang Xiang had the best personality. After all, he was also a seafood chef. He had some camaraderie with those who also made seafood.
Although Bai Xiaoxiao was a seafood seller, the chefs of these restaurants had a certain impact on his business.
However, he was the Seafood King of Chuan Province after all, so he did not really care about these two or three little kittens.
As for Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan, there was no need to mention them. One was the president of China Chefs' Alliance, and the other was the president of Chefs' Alliance of Sichuan Province. The reason why they came to be judges was that these people had offended Yuan Zhou.
To put it bluntly, the two of them had come for Yuan Zhou. How could they care about the seafood alliance's feelings?
Hearing Wang Xiang's words, Chef Li subconsciously looked at the place where the dishes were placed.
The dishes were still arranged in two rows. One row had seven plates from the seafood alliance, and only four mouthfuls of food were left on each plate.
Every plate looked very complete. Because the squid was cooked very little, there were the least of them left. There were still four bamboo sticks sticking out.
As for Chef Li's Spicy Crawling Prawns, there was not even a trace of it being moved. After all, Chef Li cooked it one by one.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou's bowls and plates were clean, with only the gravy of some dishes left on them.
As for the Chili Pepper Prawns, there was not even a single chili left. Only some red chili oil was left on the plate.
"Pa Pa Pa" It was as if a storm of slaps had landed on Chef Li's face. He even felt that his face had turned red and swollen.
Perhaps he had hit his mouth during the slap. Chef Li felt that he could not even open his mouth now.
"Do you still have any doubts about your score?" Bai Xiaoxiao's cold voice sounded.
Chef Li's fats trembled subconsciously, but he did not say anything in the end. He slowly walked back to the seafood alliance's seats.
Unlike when he came out, Chef Li kept his head down the entire time, afraid that others would see his face. His face was very dispirited and had turned gray.
"I now announce that the winner of this competition is the head chef of The Kitchen God, Yuan Zhou," the host announced loudly in the center of the venue.
Clap, clap, clap. A round of applause rang out. Even Zhou Shijie was clapping with a smile on his face. He looked at Yuan Zhou with satisfaction.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and prepared to leave with a wave of his sleeves.
"Please wait a moment. Head Chef Yuan, do you have a victory speech?" The host walked over quickly and blocked Yuan Zhou's path.
"Victory speech?" Yuan Zhou was confused.
"Yes. You have won with full marks," the host nodded.
"I wasn't prepared," Yuan Zhou shook his head honestly.
"Haha, Head Chef Yuan, did you not expect that you would win so beautifully?" the host asked with a smile.
The host seemed to have forgotten Yuan Zhou's previous words and teased him stubbornly.
"No," Yuan Zhou stood still and said solemnly.
Before the host could ask, Yuan Zhou spoke again.
"If I can't get full marks for a challenge against a few restaurants with poor reviews, I would not deserve to be called an exemplary restaurant," Yuan Zhou said with a righteous expression as if he was defending the exemplary restaurant.
Well, a few restaurants. 28 was still a few restaurants.
It was as if he had emphasized that the restaurant with poor reviews was not because he was narrow-minded.
"Eh, ha, ha, ha. Head Chef Yuan, you are really defending the exemplary restaurant's reputation," the host said with a forced smile after a short pause.
"Um, this is my responsibility," Yuan Zhou nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"Ha, ha. Then I won't disturb you anymore, Head Chef Yuan," the host said as he stepped aside.
Then, Yuan Zhou nodded and walked out of the material counter.
"Master Yuan, do you need to go greet Chairman Zhou and the others?" Engineer Cheng quickly came over.
While speaking, Engineer Cheng took out a warm towel and handed it to Yuan Zhou to wipe his hands. He behaved very respectfully as if he was Yuan Zhou's disciple.
"I'll go greet them and then return to the restaurant," Yuan Zhou took the towel and wiped his hands.
"Alright. I'll wait for you here," Engineer Cheng nodded and kept the towel.
While Yuan Zhou went to greet Zhou Shijie and the others, Engineer Cheng slowly left the counter and handed the towel to a waiter.
Unbeknownst to them, this scene was witnessed by the seafood alliance.
"That person is Engineer Cheng? That national first-class chef? The one that judged the overseas cooking competition? Isn't he the executive chef of a five-star hotel? "Liu Jie asked in shock.
"I think so." The other chefs that were still grumbling were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
"That person seems to be Head Chef Yuan's disciple," Ao Pi said, knowing Yuan Zhou well, "He's not Engineer Cheng."
"He is. Engineer Cheng has been famous for a long time. How can he be Head Chef Yuan's disciple?" Head Chef Zuo exclaimed.
Chef Li remained silent with his head lowered. He did not care about this. He still could not accept the fact that he was not even qualified to compete with Yuan Zhou.
That's right. After watching Yuan Zhou's dishes, he realized that he was not even qualified to compete with Yuan Zhou.
Suddenly, he recalled Yuan Zhou's words about not attacking his customers. His heart sank.
When the seafood alliance was discussing the interaction between Master Cheng and Yuan Zhou, Master Cheng was deliberately left behind to listen in. Then, he walked over with a simple and honest smile on his face.
"Are you guys asking who I am?" Master Cheng asked the seafood alliance with a smile.
