It didn't take long for the main chef to cook and the judges to taste the food.
But in fact, it had been five hours, and the result of the first round was about to come out. Many of the audience came back after tasting the food outside.
The audience on the spot was very excited. At that moment, Jack didn't keep them guessing. He looked at the card in his hand and read, "The top 10 chefs this time are Head Chef Yuan Zhou from China, Head Chef Podraco from France, Head Chef Steele and Head Chef Julian from France, and …"
"The highest score this time is Chef Yuan from Huaxia. According to the rules, he will be promoted to the final competition for the Golden Chef Award!" After Jack's announcement, the audience was silent.
There were eight judges in total: Ogyust, Gauss, Abby, Guman Lee, Manfred, Anthony, Alexandra, and Adelaide.
One had to admit that the names of foreigners were similar.
Previously, it was said that the scores were A, B, C, and D. The best score for a chef was A +, and the worst was D-. In order to be as fair as possible, the highest score and the lowest score would be removed.
For example, Adelaide hated sour food. As a judge, he wouldn't only look at the taste, but he wouldn't give a high score, probably around C.
The reason for removing the highest score was the same.
However, Yuan Zhou's score of 6A + meant that at least seven judges had given him the highest score.
"It seems that Chef Yuan's food has conquered the judges," Jack exclaimed. Although he didn't know much about the Bogus World Cooking Competition, he knew that in the history of the competition, even in the preliminary round, there were only a few chefs with such a score.
Bordraco turned to look at Yuan Zhou, who was standing tall and straight.
"I can't believe you got 6A +. You're the first to finish and still got such a good result." Bordraco took a deep breath and said, "Is this all you've got? You're indeed a capable chef, but I'm going to win the Golden Chef Award the day after tomorrow. "
Bordraco had prepared a secret weapon. As a famous chef, it would be too cowardly of him to admit defeat like this, especially to a chef he had looked down upon before.
Steele and Julien, on the other hand, felt that they had expected this. He didn't need to cook and was the first to finish the meal. Moreover, he had achieved such a sensational result. This Huaxia man was a monster!
Even if Ogyust allowed Yuan Zhou to enter the competition area with special privileges, no one would doubt the fairness of this time. The chefs on the judging panel were all well-known in Europe, and they all knew each other. No one would doubt the fairness of the judging panel.
The other chefs who entered the Top 10 didn't pay much attention to Yuan Zhou, but now they regarded Yuan Zhou as their top enemy.
Although many of them had participated in the Cooking Competition and had held back in the Top 10 Competition, a 6A + score was still shocking.
On the other hand, the audience at the scene was filled with pure cheers and shouts, appearing to be very lively and excited.
"Could it be that he has integrated Chinese Kungfu into his cooking?" A European guessed.
"Full reviews. Are Chinese chefs really that good? I don't believe it unless I have a taste, "someone said.
"Could there be some shady dealings? A Chinese chef got the highest evaluation?" someone doubted.
"A shady deal allowed a Chinese chef to get the best evaluation? God sprinkles wisdom on the ground. Why are you holding an umbrella? "someone objected.
"Why not? Aren't Chinese rich? They are richer than Americans. "
"Actually, I have long known that Chinese chefs are the best. Look at the judges' tasting. Yuan's food is the only dish that was completely eaten by the judges," a meticulous audience said.
…
"Mr. Ju Man Lee, what's your evaluation?" Ogyust looked at Ju Man Lee who was sitting upright beside him.
Ju Man Lee just gave Ogyust a cold glance and didn't say anything. He just gave Ogyust a look and let himself experience it.
Ju Man Lee was very unhappy. The judge who had supported him had actually given the Chinese chef a full review. However, he didn't say anything, mainly because it was a private matter to give a personal evaluation.
"Alright, the Bogus Cooking Competition has come to an end. At the same time tomorrow, the Top 10 Competition will be held. Please look forward to it," Jack raised his voice, suppressing all the noises on the scene.
When Jack announced the end of the competition, although the audience felt regretful, they still started to leave in an orderly manner. There was no chaos. It was the same for the Chinese team.
"President, should we go look for Head Chef Yuan?" a middle-aged man from the exchange group went to Zhou Shijie and asked.
He looked at Yuan Zhou with stars in his eyes, as if he was worshipping Yuan Zhou to the extreme.
Zhou Shijie only needed a glance to know what was going on. However, this wasn't a good time. "No need. Although Yuan doesn't need to participate in the competition tomorrow, he still needs to prepare for it. Let's not disturb Yuan Yuan. We will go congratulate him after the competition is over."
Although Zhou Shijie didn't explicitly say what to congratulate Yuan Zhou, everyone present was a loyal fan of Yuan Zhou. Naturally, they knew what was going on. Thus, they weren't surprised and agreed in unison.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhou had the time to look at Yuan Zhou again, Zhou Shijie took the opportunity to nod at him before leading the group out of the venue. Yin Ya's group and Yuan Zhou's in-name disciples also followed them.
Yuan Zhou understood what Zhou Shijie meant, but he didn't chase after them.
Moreover, three of the ten chefs who failed the competition were walking toward Yuan Zhou. He couldn't leave.
One of them was a chef in his forties who happened to be standing next to him during the competition. He had a typical European appearance with a high nose bridge and big eyes. He wasn't very tall, about the same height as Yuan Zhou. However, he looked stronger than Yuan Zhou. He was the leader of the three chefs.
That was because he had noticed that Yuan Zhou was the only one who was busy cooking. He even got the highest score, which showed how skilled he was.
"Hello, Yuan. I'm Portman, a chef from Sweden. Nice to meet you." Portman's Chinese wasn't good at all. Apart from the weird "hello" at the beginning, the rest of his words were in English.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou's English was pretty good, so he could communicate and understand. The other two chefs also began to introduce themselves and then started chatting.
After a while, Yuan Zhou probably said something, and the eyes of the three chefs lit up. It should be noted that Yuan Zhou could now cook Spanish cuisine.
Portman sighed inwardly. "Who said Yuan only knows Chinese cuisine? If he doesn't know how to cook Western cuisine, what does he know? "
"I thought about it carefully. Head Chef Portman's method of cooking in Africa is also an innovation." Yuan Zhou: "But from my point of view, it doesn't blend well. Sometimes the form is more important than the content."
"I will definitely consider Chef Yuan's point of view." Portman nodded seriously.
The foreign chefs all left their contact information. The main reason was that after Yuan Zhou finished cooking, he had carefully observed the chefs on the stage, so he remembered the cooking skills of the chefs who came to chat.
In any case, the chefs felt that they were valued by a chef full of praises, and they felt very comfortable chatting with this Chinese chef.
