Live broadcast of the Master of Chef competition.
After a lot of work, the ten people in the second group also finished their dishes, and then they were brought to the judges' table one after another for tasting and scoring.
The five performances before Jiang Wantong were all mediocre, with no highlights.
It wasn't until the camera showed Jiang Wantong that there was a change.
As usual, contestants must introduce their dishes before the judges give scores. Jiang Wantong spoke slowly under Li Ruyue's prompting:
"Hello, five judges, this dish I made is steamed seabass. I chose the special seabass produced in Xiushan Village, Mingyue County, supplemented with green onions and ginger..."
Before she could finish speaking, Hu Xianlin on the stage interrupted:
"Contestant No. 16, I have a question for you: Seabass is not a very rare ingredient, and steamed seabass is also a very common dish. So if you want to make seabass into a flower and make it eye-catching, it is not a It’s easy, but you are so confident in yourself?”
The other four judges looked at the steamed seabass in front of them and nodded, not showing much expectation.
Jiang Wantong clenched her hands nervously, then she took a deep breath and said firmly:
"I am confident that this dish will definitely bring unexpected gains to the teachers."
Hu Xianlin chuckled and nodded towards the other four people.
Under the camera, the five people began to taste Jiang Wantong's steamed sea bass.
Then, a wonderful scene appeared.
The four judges, who originally had no hope for this dish because of Hu Xianlin's hint, all opened their eyes with shock after taking the first bite.
The taste of the seabass after being moistened by the spiritual liquid is far beyond ordinary ingredients, so this dish has long exceeded the judges' inherent understanding of steamed seabass.
The four of them finished eating the dishes in their respective bowls, looked at each other, and then spoke with unfinished content:
"There's something about this seabass. It's smooth and bouncy in the mouth, and tastes delicious. It's even more delicious than shark's fin!"
"Yes, there is also this soup. It is mellow and refreshing. It leaves a fragrant aroma in your throat and makes your mouth water. It's wonderful!"
"Oh, look at this knife work. There are actually carved patterns on the back of the sea bass. After steaming, the fish meat is loose and does not change its shape. It is amazing. It can compete with Ren Yi from the previous group."
"Ordinary steamed seabass makes it feel extraordinary. No. 16, your craftsmanship is really strong."
The unanimous praise from the four judges caused an uproar at the scene. The director team gave a panoramic camera to the audience at the right time, recording the audience who were eagerly leaning forward and full of curiosity, which aroused the curiosity of many people.
In the end, Jiang Wantong received high scores of 9, 9, 10 and 9 from the four judges.
This once again detonated the scene, causing quite a commotion.
If nothing happens to Hu Xianlin, Jiang Wantong is likely to get the highest score in the game until the start of the game, tied for first place with Jiudingxuan's Ren Yi.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Hu Xianlin, and Jiang Wantong's palms were sweating nervously.
She understood that there were so many players in the knockout round, but only ten people advanced in the end. If she wanted to be a stable finalist, Hu Xianlin couldn't lose too many points here.
But...will this person give high marks? After all, Zhang Dachuan made the other party look embarrassed at the BMW 4S store before.
Hu Xianlin looked at Jiang Wantong as if he was looking at a prey.
He was not in a hurry to taste it, as if he was deliberately taking advantage of it.
The atmosphere at the scene became unknowingly depressing, with everyone staring closely at him. The director team even used heavy music to heighten the suspenseful atmosphere.
Finally, after thinking for a moment, Hu Xianlin picked up the spoon and took a sip of the seabass soup.
He frowned slightly and was silent for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Mingyu immediately spoke at the right time and said:
"Master Hu seems to be in a dilemma. After all, sea bass is such a common ingredient, and steamed sea bass is also a very common home-cooked dish. It is really difficult to make such a dish unexpected."
"Master Hu has tasted countless delicacies. The dishes that we ordinary people find delicious may just barely pass the standard here."
Obviously, this is to prevent Hu Xianlin from scoring low.
When Li Ruyue saw this, she immediately sang the opposite tune:
"I think that the other four judges unanimously gave high scores, which means that this dish is indeed outstanding and not just a random dish. Master Hu may have considered what kind of high score should be given."
At this time, Hu Xianlin, who was sitting at the judges' table, had his brows widened and a look of enjoyment on his face.
He put down his spoon and gave a thumbs up:
"This dish completely overturned my understanding of seabass and made me discover that there is such a delicious seabass soup in the world. Contestant No. 16, you are really great."
Later, Hu Xianlin directly gave a high score of 9.5.
The scene burst into thunderous applause, and Li Ruyue took advantage of the situation and said:
"Master Hu gave a high score of 9.5. Contestant No. 16 Jiang Wantong's final score was 46.5 points, temporarily ranking second!"
Jiang Wantong, who was extremely nervous on the stage, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Hu Xianlin with great gratitude, and bowed heavily to him:
"Thank you, Master Hu."
With this score, Jiang Wantong is almost guaranteed to be promoted.
In that private club, Liu Chenghao's face turned green when he looked at Jiang Wantong, who was locked in the finals.
Seeing this, Zhao Lei quickly handed over the red wine:
"Young Master Liu is overpowering me. Hu Xianlin has gone crazy. He actually gave this woman such a high score."
"Don't he know that Liu Jinglong is behind Mingyue Hotel, and now Liu Jinglong and we are two rivals? He is really deceived by lard."
But as soon as he said these words, Liu Chenghao was reminded.
This Master Hu came from out of town, so maybe he really didn't know about the quarrel between Liu Jinglong and the Liu family.
Liu Chenghao took a sip of red wine, his eyes flickered, and finally he snorted coldly:
"Forget it, he who doesn't know is not guilty. I don't blame him."
Originally, according to Zhao Lei's previous proposal, Liu Chenghao planned to wait until Jiang Wantong was eliminated, and then take this opportunity to send people to make a big publicity and severely suppress Liu Jinglong's arrogance. It seems that this is not possible now.
However, things are not irreversible.
Anyway, as long as she is eliminated in the finals and Liu Jinglong and Zhang Dachuan are disappointed, it is okay.
Even so, Liu Chenghao still told Zhao Lei:
"After today's live broadcast, please make arrangements immediately. I want to meet with Hu Xianlin."
"Damn, I got so many benefits from Ben Shao, but if he can't treat me like a dog and bite people, what's the use of him!"
Zhao Lei nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will contact Hu Xianlin when I get back and ask him to come over."
Although Hu Xianlin is a great food connoisseur, in Liu Chenghao's eyes, he is just a greedy and lustful fat pig who takes money to do things.
