Live in the studio.
As the five judges headed by Hu Xianlin took their seats, the smiling Li Ruyue came on stage again and announced:
"Okay, our five judges and teachers have already taken their seats. However, as the finals of the Master of Chef Competition, with only these five judges, I always feel that there is still a lack of some more important figures to present."
"In the past few days, we have seen some bad comments on the Internet, saying that the Master of Cooking competition is sponsored by the Liu family, and the position of God of Cooking has actually been decided, and everyone else is just going through the motions."
Under the stage, some audience members immediately responded:
"Yes, the champion must be from Jiudingxuan. After all, the Liu family is the organizer."
"I also think so. Most of the others are running with me. It's normal for this kind of competition to have the winner pre-determined."
Li Ruyue controlled the audience very well, and immediately smiled after hearing this:
"So, in order to rectify the name of this MasterChef competition and to ensure that no one doubts our competition, we specially invited a mysterious guest to enter."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent. Everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they immediately looked at Li Ruyue, wanting to know who the so-called "mysterious guest" was.
What kind of person can make this game more fair?
What kind of person can not be afraid of the power of the Liu family and convince everyone at the same time?
Are there such people in Bailong City?
Amid everyone's expectations and curiosity, they heard Li Ruyue loudly announce:
"Next, let's invite Xu Jinnuo, the director of our Bailong City TV station, and Mr. Xu Zhongmin, a passionate reporter from 20 years ago that we all love, to enter!"
"As we all know, Mr. Xu is a highly respected elder in our Bailong City. He is upright, unpretentious, and daring to act. With him as a judge, I believe no one will doubt the fairness of this competition."
As soon as Li Ruyue finished speaking, the audience immediately started commotion.
Many people stood up excitedly, with extremely excited expressions on their faces:
"What? Mr. Xu is a special guest?"
"It's so awesome. The Master of Chef competition actually invited the old man to come out! This final is worth it!"
"Fuck, the old man is a judge, who dares to say that this competition is irregular, who dares to say that this competition is unfair?"
When Xu Zhongmin slowly appeared in front of everyone with the support of his son Xu Jinnuo, all the audience present spontaneously stood up and gave the old man warm applause.
They looked at the old man with eyes full of respect and excitement, and no one dared to do anything rude.
Because, in the minds of Bailong City people, Xu Zhongmin is synonymous with justice!
With him as the judge, no one was unconvinced.
Seeing that the time was ripe and the atmosphere was in place, Li Ruyue immediately announced the start of the finals.
The ten contestants began to prepare intensively, and the ingredients they prepared for the competition were pushed onto the stage one by one by the staff.
Li Ruyue and Zhao Mingyu immediately took the cameramen and shuttled between the contestants, activating the atmosphere of the scene and creating various suspense and topics for the show.
The two of them started introducing the contestants’ ingredients, one from the left and the other from the right:
"The ingredients prepared by contestant No. 1 include: radish, cabbage, vermicelli and longxiang pork. It seems that they are going to make pork stew with vermicelli."
"Contestant No. 2 seems to be planning to make short crispy pork here. He prepared: flour, eggs, pepper sticks, and a small portion of tenderloin. I know without smelling it that the aroma is definitely that of Longxiang pork."
"Here at No. 3, farm-style stir-fried pork: peppers, mushrooms, diced carrots and...longxiang pork."
Following the introduction of the two people, the faces of the audience were all filled with shock.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and we all saw a sense of absurdity in each other's eyes.
Someone couldn't help but say:
"Why are they all Longxiang pork? What's going on? Can it be a little different?"
Another person hurriedly echoed:
"Yeah, why are they all made of Longxiang pork? This is too boring. Whose Longxiang pork is better?"
"Is this the Master of Kitchen Competition or the Longxiang Pork Competition? It's funny."
At this time, an eagle-eyed audience pointed to Qu Tao's seat No. 4 and shouted in shock:
"Look, even Qu Tao uses Longxiang pork!"
Everyone immediately looked around and saw that Qu Tao, who was competing on behalf of "Rabbit Flavor", actually used Longxiang pork as the ingredient.
Some of Qu Tao's die-hard fans were immediately disillusioned:
"What's the matter? Instead of making rabbit meat, he made pork? What did he think?"
"If you don't cook the rabbit meat that you are good at and make pork, what kind of brain circuit is there?"
"There is no way. Who gives Longxiang pork an innate advantage? Other ingredients are simply incomparable to it. No wonder the contestants."
Liu Chenghao was sitting in the VIP seat, listening to the discussions of the audience behind him, and was extremely proud.
What he wants is this effect, which is to make the concept of Longxiang pork's high-quality ingredients deeply rooted in people's hearts.
For this reason, Liu Chenghao has reached an agreement with Qu Tao privately - as long as Qu Tao uses Longxiang pork to compete, he can come to work at Jiudingxuan after the competition, and his salary will be three times that of Rabbit Flavor.
No one has trouble with money. If Rabbit Flavor can give it, Jiudingxuan can give it to them. If Rabbit Flavor cannot give it, Jiudingxuan House can still give it to them.
As the interview continued, people were speechless to discover that almost all those who entered the finals used Longxiang pork to compete.
It wasn't until the camera turned to Jiang Wantong that things finally looked a little different.
Looking at the unknown pork that was obviously different from Longxiang pork, Zhao Mingyu asked Jiang Wantong:
"Excuse me, Contestant No. 10, what kind of pork is this piece of pork you are using?"
Jiang Wantong answered while busy:
"I use pork raised in our Xiushan Village."
When Zhao Mingyu heard this, he immediately said "oh" meaningfully, and then said loudly to the camera:
"Dear viewers, at this point in the competition, there is finally a small change. Our No. 10 contestant, Jiang Wantong from Mingyue County, does not even have Longxiang pork in the ingredients she chooses!"
"She gave up Longxiang pork, which has great advantages, and chose domestic pork from her hometown. What kind of sentiment is this?"
"I am very curious to ask No. 10, how can your kind of pork be compared with Longxiang pork? You don't know the difference between ordinary pork and Longxiang pork, right?"
"Or, you actually wanted to use Longxiang pork, but due to some other reasons, you couldn't get Jiudingxuan's Longxiang pork, so you gave up in desperation?"
Jiang Wantong was angry and immediately replied:
"I think the pork raised in our Xiushan Village is more delicious than Longxiang pork!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed expressions of disbelief.
Domestic pork from a small Poshan village is better than Longxiang pork?
Who gave you the courage to say that?
