Chapter 379
Chapter 379 - The Culinary Battle Began and They Were in the Lead
It was clear to anyone paying attention that Xue Masao was intentionally trying to undermine his rival.
However, his arguments held some weight, and he managed to sway a few people!
Even those who had been neutral found themselves nodding in agreement with his statements!
Xue Masao, seeing his objective met, glanced over at Xue Zixi and her daughter with a smug smile.
Upon hearing his words, Xue Zixi and her daughter's expressions turned grim.
Meanwhile, members of the Jiang Family, Soong Wan, and others furrowed their brows and shot Xue Masao a glare!
Soong Wan, with a look of outrage, vented to Feng Nichang beside her.
“Sister Nichang, that man is just awful!”
Feng Nichang was at a loss for words.
After all, they were competitors, and such tactics were par for the course!
……
The bell soon rang on Wu Shi's side as well!
“The first stir-fry is complete. Grandmaster Wu clocked in at 8 minutes and 15 seconds!”
“Time-wise, Grandmaster Jiang has a one-minute lead!”
“Let's now have the staff deliver the first dish prepared by the Grandmasters to our first guest for evaluation!”
Following the host's announcement, two cheongsam-clad beauties each wheeled out a cart, identical to the other, towards table number one.
The origin of each dish remained a mystery to all.
Guest number one stood up, acknowledging the crowd with a nod, before eagerly lifting the lid of one of the dishes to sample it.
He began with a taste of the Stir-fried Four Seasons Beans!
His evident relish for the dish had the onlookers swallowing hard with envy.
As he unveiled the second dish, a distinctive and rich aroma from the other dish permeated the venue, drawing everyone's attention.
The guest's face lit up with delight as he eagerly dug in!
Even after he had finished the plate, his appetite was clearly unsatisfied!
It was at this moment that the host chimed in at the perfect time.
“Could guest number one please score each of these dishes?”
With all eyes on him, guest number one rose to his feet.
“Both dishes are truly worthy of the Grandmaster title, but based on my personal taste, I give the Four Seasons Beans an eight, and this cabbage dish a perfect ten!”
The guest's scoring concluded, and the host took the floor once more.
“Please activate the big screen.”
With anticipation hanging in the air, the big screen revealed the entire cooking showdown between Jiang Hao and Wu Shi!
The winner and loser were now unmistakably clear!
“It looks like our very own Grandmaster Jiang is currently leading by a margin of eleven points!”
The crowd buzzed with conversation as the host declared the scores.
Jiang Hao's supporters were elated, while those in Wu Shi's camp wore expressions of dismay and uncertainty.
Next, the host moved on to announce the second challenge: the preparation of the main course!
The competitors dove back into action. Jiang Hao swiftly finished first, earning an additional point!
Once Wu Shi completed his dish, it was presented to the guests at table two, as directed by the host.
The guests at table two gave their verdicts, awarding seven and ten points respectively.
Then, the big screen came to life once more!
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Hao secured another perfect score of ten points!
Jiang Hao's tally soared to 22 points, leaving Wu Grandmaster trailing with 15 points!
The audience hadn't anticipated such a significant gap after just two dishes between these culinary titans!
The host then announced the third challenge: frying!
Jiang Hao again finished first, notching yet another point ahead.
After the third guest sampled the dishes, they awarded scores of 9 and 10 points.
But when the big screen shone again, the crowd was astounded to see Jiang Hao's dish had earned yet another 10 points!
With that, Jiang Hao's score climbed to 33 points, while Wu Shi lagged behind at 24 points!
The culinary battle raged on!
After the fourth round, Jiang Hao stood at 44 points to Wu Shi's 33.
The fifth round ended with Jiang Hao at 54 points, Wu Shi at 41.
