Chapter 601 Winning


    Several other judges also tasted Sun Mei''s custard buns one after another, and they all showed surprise.


    Have you run out of inspiration? Or the decline in status caused by fatigue.


    In short, compared with her previous dishes, this coconut custard bun is indeed not outstanding.


    Just...so-so.


    At this time, Malu approached again, "Can you give me one?"


    "Ah?" Rocky Chen was slightly stunned.


    "Including the time for commenting and scoring, the competition has been going on for three and a half hours. I have been working from morning to noon and I am also hungry. These custard buns look quite delicious." Ma Lu said.


    "Well, that''s okay. There''s a lot on the plate anyway, and we can''t finish it." Rocky Chen said.


    Malu then reached out and picked out a small rabbit-shaped one, bit it down, and felt the soft, cloud-like dough and the warm liquid wrapped inside melting in his mouth.


    "It''s delicious." Malu praised sincerely. "It tastes like the one I had at home when I was a kid. It''s completely different from the quick-frozen ones sold in supermarkets."


    Rocky Chen''s heart moved slightly when he heard this, he picked up another one and tasted it again.


    “Indeed, the biggest feature of this custard bun is that it’s everyday, there’s nothing particularly outstanding about it, but it’s very comfortable to eat. At first I felt it was a little lacking in sweetness.


    "But because we have eaten too many strong-flavored things today, this taste is just right now."


    "Well, when you said that, I felt it too." Gaggan Anand also said, "I had eaten two of them before I knew it. I have obviously tasted a lot of dishes before, and I am not hungry."


    "The images of these little animals are also very cute." Hajime Yoneda said, "It reminds me of the toys my father made for me out of wood when I was a child. I really like this dish, and I can feel the sincerity and simplicity in it. "


    “I have a different opinion,” Violet Huppert said. “I think this is a very ordinary home-cooked dish.


    "I didn''t see the originality that Chef Sun Mei showed in this dish. I don''t deny that this dish is full of emotion, but as a competition entry, it is obviously not qualified."


    "Well, Editor-in-Chief Huppert, what you said makes sense." Rocky Chen said.


    "Everyone has fully expressed their opinions, so what do you want to say, Chef Sun Mei?" Gaggan Anand asked.


    "No more." Sun Mei shook his head.


    "Okay then, let''s start grading."


    The four judges wrote their respective scores on pieces of paper and put them into the cardboard box with Sun Mei''s name on it.


    Seeing the staff starting to count the votes, Qiu Lele couldn''t help but feel anxious.


    At this moment, Sun He stood up next to her.


    "Mr. Sun, where are you going? Why don''t you read the results?"


    "The result is nothing interesting. The champion is Chef Ma Lu. Let''s go, let''s get ready. We''ll be on stage to present the award later."


    "Oh oh oh." Qiu Lele quickly stood up and followed Sun He to the rostrum. As she walked, she stretched her head to look at the stage.


    By the time the two of them came to the stage, the results had come out, and Ma Lu once again received a perfect score of 5 points.


    But Sun Mei only got 3.25 points this time, which was the lowest score in six rounds.


    The female host then said, "Let us all congratulate the Asian champion of this MasterChef Competition - Chef Ma Lu from the Universe Infinite Canteen!"


    There was a sparse round of applause.


    Ma Lu performed well in these six rounds, showing his superior strength far beyond other players.


    But he was also very arrogant, always cooking with one hand, and even wandering around and chatting up people during competitions. It does not conform to the image of a low-key and humble master in the mainstream perception of society.


    And compared to watching the big devil torture food, most viewers still prefer the kind of kingly plot where the weak defeats the strong and fights back.


    Unfortunately, reality is not the hot-blooded manga on Shonen Jump.


    Even if Lao Wang only exerts 80% of his strength, he will still be far ahead of Sun Mei, Kawano Zhengming and others. No matter how hard they struggle or explode, they can''t change this.


    After announcing the winner, the female host announced the second and third place, and invited Luo Junkang to the podium.


    As the president, Sun He personally stepped forward to present the trophies and bonuses to the three people.


    When it was Sun Mei''s turn, Sun He''s expression was slightly complicated, but in the end he just shook hands with Sun Mei like he did with other players.


    "Congratulations, Chef Sun Mei, you have won second place in the Asian Division of this MasterChef Competition with your outstanding performance.


    "In addition to trophies and bonuses, according to regulations, you will also automatically be qualified to participate in this MasterChef World Championship. I hope you will perform well in the next world competition."


    Sun Mei said, "I lost."


    "Um?"


    "I lost the agreement between us."


    Sun He glanced at the cameras around him and said, "Let''s talk about it when we get back."


    "It''s nothing, just a few words, you can say it anywhere," Sun Mei said, "You''re right, I don''t hate cooking, so I will continue on this path."


    A look of surprise flashed in Sun He''s eyes.


    But then he heard Sun Mei say again, "But I won''t go back and take over Songxiangju as you expected. In that case, I will become another you at best. I want to continue to hone myself and take further steps."


    "How do you plan to go further?" Sun He frowned.


    "I have decided to work for Chef Ma Lu in the kitchen of the Universe Infinite Canteen."


    Malu was happily asking for champagne from the staff, but when he heard these words, the champagne in his hand almost fell to the ground.


    "ah?"


    Sun He''s expression also changed, and he blurted out, regardless of the live broadcast, "No, that kid is not a good person."


    After a pause, he added, "There''s nothing wrong with his cooking skills, but I''m a little worried about his personality."


    Malu was unhappy when he heard this. You are such an old grandson. You say one thing on the outside and another behind the scenes. You praised him so enthusiastically in the first place and tricked him into helping teach his rebellious granddaughter a lesson.


    As a result, now that the lesson was over, he immediately turned against me and even escalated to a personal attack. It was really rude.


    Sun He also knew that what he said was a bit inappropriate, but he was really anxious.


    He only has a granddaughter. Although the relationship between the two of them has not been very harmonious over the years, his concern for this granddaughter has never changed.


    Just now, in a hurry, I spoke out my true thoughts in a hurry.


    But even so, Sun Mei still just shook his head, "Grandpa, I have made up my mind and will not change. Besides, I am only going to the Universe Infinite Canteen to study, not to fall in love with Chef Ma Lu."


    "Um... interrupt the warm exchange between your grandfather and grandson for a moment," Ma Lu finally found the opportunity and interjected, "My restaurant has enough manpower."
